liabilities and costs, including reasonable legal fees, reasonably incurred in
the defense of any claim, arising out of Partner's provision of their
Integration, Content and/or any other violation of its obligation under this

third-party claim that the Partner Marks, Integration and/or Content infringes
or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret of that

against SP in any such action that are specifically attributable to such claim

subject to the following conditions: SP notifying Partner promptly in writing
of such action, providing sole control of the defense thereof and any related
settlement negotiations, and SP cooperating and, at Partner's reasonable
request and expense, assisting in such defense. Partner shall have no liability
if the alleged infringement is caused by any modification or combination of the
Partner's products with the SP Software or other non-Partner equipment,
programs or data, where the Partner's products alone would not have given rise
to the claims.
6.2 Either party is entitled to temporarily suspend this Agreement if such
party has actual knowledge of any unlawful content or service being provided by
the other party in relation to this Agreement, in particular by receiving a
formal warning letter by a person alleging such violation--unless such warning
letter is obviously abusive--and/or by statements of public authorities such as
courts, administrative agencies and/or district attorneys' offices. The party
shall inform the other party of such suspension immediately and shall ask the
other party to remove the allegedly unlawful content or service or to provide
evidence for the lawfulness of such content or service. If the other party
fails to remove the unlawful content or service or provide evidence of
lawfulness within two (2) business days following receipt of notice from the
non-breaching party, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to the breaching party.

damage arising out of transactions consummated, rejected or otherwise not
completed through the said website, or arising from any other use of the
Integration and Content by Customers.

ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. SP AND PARTNER DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY, OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PARTNER

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, PERFORMANCE, FREEDOM
FROM ERRORS OR UNINTERRUPTED USE AND MERCHANTABILITY; EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH
DISCLAIMERS ARE EXPRESSLY DISALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

programs, in particular through making back-up copies in machine-readable form

SP MARKS
THE SAP PORTALS PARTNER LOGO:
Partner is authorized to use the assigned SP's Partner logo as noted below, in
accordance and agreement with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit and the
Agreement. This logo is related to the Partner's area of cooperation and is the
only officially authorized logo to communicate the partner relationship with SP
as far as this Agreement is concerned.
When advertising, partners should use their own company/product/service logos.
They may in addition use their assigned SP Partner logo, but only to underline
the compatibility of the advertised products and services with SP in the
relevant area as set forth in the corresponding SAP Portals Strategic Sales &
Marketing Alliance Agreement and to highlight the partnership with SP in this
context.
SAP, SAP PORTALS, AND ALL OTHER NAMES OF SAP SOLUTIONS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES
ARE TRADEMARKS OF SAP AG:
Each trademark of SAP referred to in a document (brochure, website etc.) must
be marked as such by putting the superscript (R)(1) or TM(2) the first time the
term occurs, and must be referenced by a trademark notice(3). When referring to
SAP Portals for the first time, this would mean: SAP(R) Portals.
-------
(1) (R) must be put in the case of registered trademarks.
(2) TM is used in all other cases.
(a) SAP as a branded name is registered in most countries around the
world and is marked with the (R). (For trademark notice, see
(3)(a))
(b) The name SP is currently in the process of registration. Please
put the TM until further notice. (For trademark notice, see
(3)(B))
(3) Trademark notice as a footnote, positioned, for example, near the
copyright signage.
(a) 'SAP is a registered trademark of SAP AG.'
(b) 'SAP Portals is a trademark of SAP AG.'
(c) 'SP is a trademark of SAP AG.'
If appropriate, use a logical combination of the notices above in accordance
with the SAP names mentioned.
[SAP names] are trademarks or registered trademarks of SAP AG.
NAMING PRODUCTS LINKED TO SAP PRODUCTS:
Companies may not make the name SAP, or any other names belonging to SAP
trademarks, part of the name of their own business, solutions, products or
services or incorporate these names and any logos from SAP, including the
awarded SAP Portals Partner logo, into logos they design for their own
business, solutions, products or services.
LIABILITY:
Whenever SP names are mentioned, Partner must make a clear and unambiguous
distinction between their own solutions, products and/or services as a Partner,
and the SP trademarks mentioned.
Partner must carefully consider SP's trademark regulations when mentioning SP
trademarks in their materials or in connection with their own products or
product names (see above).
The usage of original texts, graphics, pictures, and so on, from SP sources
must be approved by SP and a copyright notice must be included nearby or, if
appropriate, as a footnote, to indicate the SP's copyright, in the form: "(C)
SAP Portals (year). All rights reserved."
SP accepts no responsibility for any violation of legal regulations regarding
competition or trademark laws by partners.
In addition to these guidelines, country specific regulations may apply.

QUESTIONS:
Please refer any questions to your partner contact within SP for approval/
guidance.
To guarantee the stable value of the SP Partner logo, partners must strictly
observe these logo usage guidelines.
USING THE SAP PORTALS PARTNER LOGO:
Partners may not pass on the rights to the logo to a third party. Partners may
incorporate neither the SP Partner logo nor any other SP logo into their own
logos. The SP Partner logo usage is restricted to the duration of the
partnership; that is, Partners have to stop using the SP Partner logo as soon as
the partnership with SP is terminated.
The SP Partner logo is related to a specific partner product or service, and
should only be used for marketing materials, trade fair booths, or on web sites
relating to the specific product or service on which the partnership is based.
* The SP Partner logo must be used as provided by SP with no changes in
color or design. Color positive application is standard. You may NOT
use portions of the graphics, and any additional words, taglines,
graphical elements in connection with the SP Partner logo are not
permitted under any circumstances.
* You must use only approved SP artwork. Artwork for the logos is
available in electronic form.
* The SP Partner logos must always be accompanied by the TM symbol.
* The SP Partner logo should only appear in a horizontal position and
never appear below a minimum size of 2.5 cm or 1.0 inch wide
(The partner logo TM sign is not part of this measurement). Sizes
smaller than the minimum decrease legibility dramatically.
* To properly stage the SP Partner logo, a minimum clearance between
the logo and other elements must be maintained. The full size of the
logo indicates the measurement of minimum clearance between the logo
and other elements on all sides of the logo.
* The SP Partner logo should never appear larger and/or more prominently
than your trade name, service name, or trademark on any materials
produced or distributed by your company.
* The SP Partner logo may never be used to represent the word "SAP
Portals" either in a headline, a body copy or in any other context.
(LOGO WILL BE PROVIDED SEPARATELY)

SUPPORT SERVICES
1. SUPPORT PROCESS DESCRIPTION
1.1 Partner shall develop and maintain a technical support e-mail address
contact that Customers, SP consultants and other SP partners can use to submit
general questions, product inquiries and problem messages referring to the
Integration and Content. All questions, product inquiries and problem messages
related to the Enterprise Portal, BI or the Interface shall be in SP's
responsibility. All other inquiries and problem messages shall be in Partner's
responsibility.
1.2 For general e-mail support inquiries concerning Integration or Content
received through the Enterprise Portal or BI platform that are not considered
to be in SP's responsibility as specified in SECTION 1.1 of this Appendix,
Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to acknowledge receipt within 24
(twenty-four) hours (IRT). If a general inquiry cannot be satisfied within 5
(five) business days, the Partner will continue to follow-up on a weekly basis
with the Customer and provide a status update until the inquiry is satisfied.
Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to achieve call closure
on all general inquiries within 10 (ten) days.
1.3 When the Partner receives problem messages, Partner shall use its diligent
and reasonable efforts to determinate whether a case is due to a problem with
the Integration, Content, Interface, Enterprise Portal, or BI.
1.3.1 If the case appears to be related to the Integration or Content,
Partner shall perform support within the timeframe specified in TABLE "CASE
PRIORITY RESPONSE TIMES" in SECTION 2 of this Appendix.
1.3.2 If the Partner, despite its reasonable efforts and the best of its
knowledge cannot resolve the case and it appears to be a problem related to the
Enterprise Portal or BI platforms, Partner's support organization shall refer
the case back to the Customer as quick as possible, and, inform the Customer
their message cannot be solved by the Partner, and that the Customer has to
contact SP Support directly and create an SP message in their regular SP
support system in order to provide SP with all case-specific data necessary for
SP for the solution delivery.
1.3.3 Partner's support organization shall include specific
identification of the cause of the problem where possible, and, provide tests
to the extent practicable in the circumstances. The Customer shall then send
this data together with the problem message to SP to allow identification of
the problem environment.
1.4 When SP receives a Customer message not related to the Enterprise Portal
or BI platforms, SP shall as soon as possible ask the Customer to directly
contact the Partner for support.
1.5 In order to guarantee standard and consistent cooperative support,
including message handling, escalation of cases and general support, contact
information will be provided between both parties as specified in EXHIBIT I.
2. SUPPORT LEVEL
2.1 In order to ensure SP's support of SP products and Partner's support of
partner products towards Customers, in compliance with the case definitions
specified in this Section and SECTION 1 of this Appendix, Partner agrees to
respond to the customers in accordance with the time frame defined in SECTION
1.2 and 1.3 of this Appendix. SP shall respond to the customers as shown in the
table below for all problem cases that might arise in relation with the
Enterprise Portal or BI, and forward to Partner all messages not related to SP
as defined in SECTION 1.4 of this Appendix.
TABLE: "CASE PRIORITY RESPONSE TIMES"
PRIORITY SEVERITY INITIAL RESPONSE UPDATE PERIOD SOLVING PERIOD
1 emergency 60 minutes 4 hours 2 days
2 critical 4 hours 1 day 4 days
3 non-critical 8 hours 2 days 8 days

Confidential Page 15 of 28 12/17/2001
<PAGE>
SP Standard Terms & Condition -- Technology & Content Partner Agreement
Definition of Case Severity:
"Emergency case" Shall mean any case with complete standstill of a
productive system and severe impairment of vital
functions.
"Critical case" Shall mean any case with impact on the production
system, with serious failure of central functions,
or leading to a serious interruption of business
or having an intermediate financial impact on
business.
"Non-critical case" Shall mean any case leading to interruptions in
normal operations caused by a malfunctioning or
unavailable function in the respective product.
"Minor case" Shall mean any case with no or only minor
interruptions in normal operations. This is caused
by mal-functioning or unavailable functions in the
SAP system that are not required on a daily basis
or not used regularly.
2.2. In order to ensure SP's support to Customers, Partner shall make
available the necessary infrastructure and equipment to provide (remote)
support worldwide for the cases specified in Section 1.1 to 1.4 of this
Appendix. Partner agrees to establish an escalation procedure to handle
escalated situations according to Section 3 of this Appendix.
2.3 Each party shall respond to and use reasonable efforts to resolve Customer
cases in a prompt manner. Each party acknowledges that, despite a party's
reasonable efforts, not all problems may be solvable.
3. ESCALATION OF CUSTOMER PROBLEMS
3.1 The escalation procedure ("Escalation") will be applied as described
hereafter when either party believes a customer situation requires additional
attention by the other party to resolve the problem. Escalation is triggered by
the Customer, by high levels of Customer anxiety and/or Customer complaint, as
well as by one or both parties.
3.2 Both parties agree to designate regional escalation contacts that will
cooperate closely in case of escalation and agree to involve this regional
escalation contact if the case cannot be solved on a local level.
3.3 Either party's escalation contact or support engineer may call the other
party's escalation contact. When a party requests escalation both parties must
commonly agree to escalate the case and must coordinate an action plan to
resolve the Customers' problem. The minimum steps are (a) to address resources
or increase them if already addressed; (b) to define responsibilities for each
action; (c) to define expected completion of each action; (d) to define
contingency/next steps if desired results are not achieved. The escalation
procedure can be modified upon mutual agreement among the designated contacts
whenever the situation requires.
3.4 Each party shall designate in Exhibit 1 of this Appendix, names and direct
dial telephone numbers of the escalation contacts. The designated escalation
contact(s) may be changed at any time by verbal notice to the other party
confirmed in writing. The designated escalation contact(s) shall monitor the
support processes and co-operate in any possible escalation process. Partner
may assign additional persons to the escalation team upon mutual consent.
3.5 The parties agree escalation contacts shall be available within normal
business hours to handle emergency situations. If required, both parties agree
to staff a de-escalation taskforce on-site if need be. Both parties will
mutually agree how costs will be distributed between the parties according to
the reasons of escalation.
3.6 The common de-escalation taskforce will be set up upon mutual agreement
between the Customer, Partner and SP. This on-site taskforce can be kept in
place for several weeks, if the circumstances so require.
3.7 When both parties state the problem is resolved or the situation no longer
requires escalation, the escalation is closed. Each party will exchange with
the other party the final reports summarizing the actions taken and results of
these actions, likelihood of problem recurrence and recommended future actions.

or to require the deletion of, such source code and all copies thereof in
Licensee's possession or control whenever a future Release or Version provides
for like functionality in an object code format.
(c) Subject to Section 6.3, all Modifications and Extensions to the SP
Software and Documentation shall be considered part of the SP Software and
Documentation for purposes of this Section 6.
6.2 PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. In order to protect the rights of
SP and its licensors and Licensee in their respective Proprietary Information,
SP and Licensee agree to take all reasonable steps and the same protective
precautions to protect the Proprietary Information from disclosure to third
parties as with its own proprietary and confidential Information. Except as
expressly permitted in Section 2.2 hereof, neither party shall, without the
other party's prior written consent, disclose, provide, or make available any
of the Proprietary Information of the other party in any form to any person,
except to its bona fide employees, officers, or directors whose access is
necessary to enable such party to exercise its rights hereunder. Each party
agrees that prior to disclosing any Proprietary Information of the other party
to any third party, it will obtain from that third party a written
acknowledgement that such third party will be bound by the same terms as
specified in this Section 6 with respect to the Proprietary Information;
provided, however, that to the extent that a party has already entered into a
confidentiality agreement with any employee, officer or director at least as
protective of the rights in the Proprietary Information, then such party need
not obtain any written acknowledgment from such employee, officer or director.

expressly agrees that any Modifications and Extensions of the SP Software
developed by SP, Licensee, their employees, agents or consultants shall be
deemed part of the SP Software and will be the property of SP and that Licensee
will not grant, either expressly or by implication, any rights, title, interest
or licenses to the Modifications or Extensions to any third party. Licensee
