Resource shall execute a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement in the form of
Exhibit B, and each such agreement shall be provided to DemandTec upon request. During the
term of a particular SOW, Resources assigned to perform the Services under that SOW shall not be
assigned to or perform any work on behalf of any entity other than DemandTec unless DemandTec
consents thereto in writing.
1.3 Before Service Provider assigns a Resource to perform Services under a SOW,
DemandTec will have the opportunity to review such Resource’s qualifications and, within its
reasonable discretion, approve the assignment of each such individual proposed by Service Provider.
DemandTec may, in its reasonable discretion and at any time during the term of the relevant SOW,
require Service Provider to remove a Resource from performing the Services. If DemandTec requests
a replacement Resource, Service Provider will to the extent reasonably available, provide DemandTec
with a suitable replacement at substantially the same level of experience and at the same billing
rates as the individual being replaced. Service Provider will advise all Resources that perform
Services under a SOW of the applicable terms of this Agreement and the relevant SOW and ensure each
such individual’s compliance with such terms.
1.4 At all times while performing Services under this Agreement, Service Provider
shall comply with the security measures set forth on Exhibit C.
2. Deliverables; Acceptance.
2.1 Service Provider agrees to deliver the deliverables, if any, set forth in each
SOW (“Deliverables”) in conformance with the specifications and schedule specified in the relevant
SOW. Service Provider shall determine the time, place, methods, details and means of performing
the Services.

deliver it to DemandTec for acceptance. DemandTec will accept or reject the Deliverable within ten
working days after delivery, specifying any material failures of the Deliverable to meet the
requirements therefore stated in the relevant SOW. If DemandTec rejects the Deliverable in
accordance with the foregoing, Service Provider will use its best efforts to correct the failures
specified in the rejection notice within five working days of the rejection notice and the
provisions above shall be reapplied until the Deliverable is accepted. After the third or any
subsequent rejection or if the corrections are not made within ten working days of the initial
rejection, DemandTec may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Service Provider.

Services in accordance with the relevant SOW; provided that if no payment arrangement is so
specified in the SOW, Service Provider shall submit monthly invoices to DemandTec at the end of the
month detailing the Services performed and the fees incurred in the previous month. DemandTec
shall pay Service Provider all undisputed fees within 30 days of its receipt of invoice.

should fluctuations in the RMB – US$ exchange rate occur during the term hereof, the fees payable
hereunder shall be adjusted by fifty percent (50%) of the total fluctuation, effective in the month
following an official government announcement. An adjusting to the full exchange rate will be
discussed and effective with the following contract and renewal period.

renewal by mutual agreement of the parties.

this Agreement by giving the breaching party 30 days written notice of such breach, unless the
breach is cured within the notice period. DemandTec also may terminate this Agreement at any time,
with or without cause, upon providing six months’ advance written notice, over which time DemandTec
may gradually scale back Services required so as to reduce required Resources a maximum of 15% per
month. Any such termination may, at DemandTec’s option, be limited to one or more SOWs, in which
case, the consequences of termination will be limited to the subject matter of those SOWs.
4.3 In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the closing of
the business transfer outlined in Section 5 below.
4.4 Upon termination of this Agreement (except if DemandTec terminates this
Agreement for a material breach by Service Provider), DemandTec agrees to pay Service Provider all
amounts due or accrued as of the date of such termination. Upon termination of this agreement for
any reason, each party shall return to the other party all documents containing Confidential

the business unit providing the Services (including, for example, administrative staff, security
personnel, receptionists and accounting personnel), in each case at salary levels and on other
terms and conditions to be determined in DemandTec’s sole discretion. Service Provider agrees to
use its best efforts to cause such current employees to make available their employment services to
DemandTec. Any employment arrangements between DemandTec and Service Provider’s current employees
will be negotiated directly between such employees and DemandTec. Service Provider will remain
responsible for any obligations towards its employees that accrue before the closing of the
transfer, including, without limitation, claims for wages, benefits or severance pay.
5.2 Purchased Assets. In connection with the exercise of this option,
DemandTec shall have the right to acquire all of Service Provider’s tangible and fixed assets
relating to or used or held for use primarily in connection with the performance of the Services,
including, without limitation, computer hardware, equipment, and the books, documents, records and
files relating to the performance of the Services. The parties will identify all such assets in a
schedule to be prepared prior to the closing of the sale and will exercise a ▇▇▇▇ of Sale or other
appropriate transfer document at the time of transfer.
5.3 Transferred Agreements. DemandTec also shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to assume all agreements of Service Provider that relate to or are required in
connection with the performance of the Services, including any equipment leases, security
contracts, telephone, Internet or other infrastructure service agreements, to the extent permitted.
In addition, DemandTec shall have the right to enter into a sublease agreement pursuant to which
it will sublease the portion of Service Provider’s facilities that are used in connection with the
provision of Services for the remainder of the term
- 4 -
of this Agreement. Rent and other commercial terms of any such arrangements shall be agreed
to by the parties in good faith.
5.4 No Assumed Liabilities. Except for any obligations expressly assumed by
DemandTec under transferred agreements, DemandTec shall not assume or be deemed to assume any other
liabilities, obligations or commitments of Service Provider of any nature whatsoever, whether known
or unknown, fixed or contingent, or accrued or unaccrued, including, without limitation,
liabilities of Service Provider or which relate to the ownership or use of any of the assets
purchased by DemandTec prior to the closing.
6. Confidential Information. Service Provider understands that DemandTec
possesses and will possess Confidential Information which is important to its business. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” is information that was or will be
developed, created, or discovered by or on behalf of DemandTec, or which became or will become
known by, or was or is conveyed to DemandTec (including, without limitation, Results), which has
commercial value in DemandTec’s business. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited
to, information about DemandTec’s finances, operations and maintenance, algorithms, trade secrets,
computer programs, design, technology, ideas, know-how, processes, formulas, compositions, data,
techniques, improvements, inventions (whether patentable or not), works of authorship, business and
product development plans, customers and other information concerning DemandTec’s actual or
anticipated business, research or development, or which is received in confidence by or for
DemandTec from any other person. Confidential Information does not include information that
Service Provider demonstrates to DemandTec’s reasonable satisfaction, by written evidence, (a) is
in the public domain by reason of prior publication not directly or indirectly resulting from any
act or omission of Service Provider, or (b) was already properly known to Service Provider (other
than in connection with this consulting arrangement) without restriction on use or disclosure at
the time of DemandTec’s disclosure to Service Provider. At all times, both during the term of this
Agreement and after its termination, Service Provider will (and will cause each Resource to) keep
in confidence and trust and not use or disclose any Confidential Information without the prior
written consent of an officer of DemandTec. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Provider shall
not reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to derive any source (or the underlying ideas,
algorithms, formulas, structure or organization) of any computer programs provided to Service
Provider in object code form, and Service Provider shall not modify, create derivative works of or
copy any computer program provided by DemandTec except only to the extent required by a SOW.
Service Provider acknowledges that any disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information
will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and cause substantial harm to DemandTec for
which damages would not be a fully adequate remedy, and, therefore, in the event of any such
breach, in addition to other available remedies, DemandTec shall have the right to obtain
injunctive relief. Service Provider understands that the consulting arrangement creates a
relationship of confidence and trust between
- 5 -
Service Provider and DemandTec with regard to Confidential Information and the breach thereof
or of the obligations herein relating to Confidential Information shall be construed as a breach of
trust for which all the civil and criminal consequences thereof shall follow.

rights in the same, including without limitation any moral rights, are not subject to assignment

required to carry out and confirm the assignments contemplated by this Agreement. All documents,
magnetically or optically encoded media, and other tangible materials created by Service Provider

| with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my services for Sonata that relates to DemandTec’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of the foregoing assignment, I have listed it on Appendix A in a manner that does not violate any third party rights. Without limiting Section 1 or Sonata’s or DemandTec’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Sonata , I use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Sonata and, as the case may be, DemandTec will have and I hereby grant Sonata and DemandTec a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights. This license shall not lapse in any circumstances including for non-exercise of such license by Sonata or DemandTec for any period of time. | ||
| 3. | To the extent allowed by law, Section 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Sonata and DemandTec and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Sonata or DemandTec. |
| 4. | I agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment with Sonata that relate to DemandTec or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec or that are received by or for DemandTec in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this Section with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon termination of my employment with Sonata, I will promptly return to Sonata and, as applicable, DemandTec all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of my compensation records and this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Sonata’s or DemandTec’s telecommunications, networking or information processing |
- 4 -
| systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice. I agree that such Proprietary Information has been provided to me in trust and the breach thereof of the obligations herein relating to Proprietary Information shall be construed as a breach of trust for which all the civil and criminal consequences thereof shall follow. | ||
| 5. | Until one year after the term of Sonata’s services for DemandTec has ended, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of DemandTec to leave DemandTec for any reason. |
| 6. | I agree that during the term of my services on behalf of Sonata for DemandTec (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec. |
| 7. | I agree that (a) I am not an employee of DemandTec, and (b) this Agreement is not an employment contract or an obligation by DemandTec to obtain my services for any particular term. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, I am an employee of Sonata and not an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of DemandTec and shall not bind nor attempt to bind DemandTec to any contract. I shall accept any directions issued by Sonata pertaining to the goals to be attained and the results to be achieved by me or Sonata, but I and Sonata shall be solely responsible for the manner and hours in which the services for DemandTec are performed. I agree that I shall not be eligible to participate in any of DemandTec’s employee benefit plans, fringe benefit programs, group insurance arrangements or similar programs. DemandTec shall not provide workers’ compensation, disability insurance, social security or unemployment compensation coverage or any other statutory benefit to me. Sonata (and not DemandTec) shall be solely responsible for complying with all applicable provisions of workers’ compensation laws, unemployment compensation laws, labor laws, federal, state and local income tax laws, and all other applicable laws, regulations and codes relating to terms and conditions of employment required to be fulfilled by employers. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment by Sonata, and, as an employee of Sonata, I have obligations to Sonata which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms of my obligations to Sonata and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement by Sonata and DemandTec. |
- 5 -
| 8. | I agree that my obligations under Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part. My obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Sonata and DemandTec, and their subsidiaries, successors and assigns. |
| 9. | Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of China without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable Chinese law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Sonata and, as the case may be, DemandTec for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Sonata and DemandTec will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies and without any requirement to post bond. |
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES
UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO
SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, IN DUPLICATE, WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT DEMANDTEC WILL RETAIN ONE COUNTERPART AND THE OTHER COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED
BY ME.
