INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
9.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL PHOENIX BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE,
OR INABILITY TO USE, THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OTHER
CIRCUMSTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING

indemnification under Section 10) or for any and all claims, losses or damages
relating to the Licensed Products (whether based on tort, contract, or any

CONFIDENTIAL
than claims based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Phoenix,
shall be limited to the amount actually paid by Customer to Phoenix for the
Licensed Products giving rise to the liability. The parties acknowledge that
each of them relied upon the inclusion of this limitation in consideration of
entering into this Agreement.
10 PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY
10.1 Infringement Claims. If a third party claims that the Software infringes
any patent, copyright, trade secret, or similar intellectual property right of
any third party, and such claim would impair Customer's right to use the
Software hereunder, Phoenix shall (as long as Customer is not in default under

that claim at Phoenix's expense and pay all damages awarded by a court in a
final judgment, provided that Customer (i) promptly notifies Phoenix in writing
of any such claim, (ii) allows Phoenix to control the defense and disposition
of such claim, including any related settlement negotiations, and (iii)
cooperates with Phoenix, at Phoenix's expense, in the defense of such claim.
10.2 Remedies. If such a claim is made or appears possible, Phoenix may, at its
option, either (i) secure for Customer the right to continue to use the
Software, (ii) modify or replace the Software so it is non-infringing, or (iii)
refund a pro-rata portion of the license fees paid for the infringing material
based on a five year straight line useful period. Phoenix has no obligation
hereunder for any claim based on a modified version of the Software which has
not been prepared solely by Phoenix, or for any combination, operation or use
of the Software with any hardware or software not approved in writing by
Phoenix. Phoenix also shall have no obligation hereunder for any claim based on
theories of law that are not substantially equivalent to laws, treaties and
conventions applicable to U.S. patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and similar
intellectual property rights. THIS SECTION 10 STATES PHOENIX'S ENTIRE
OBLIGATION TO CUSTOMER WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS OF TITLE OR ANY CLAIM OF

confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other. Each Party shall
not permit or authorize access to, or disclosure of, the Confidential
Information of the other to any person or entity other than employees or
advisors who have a "need to know" such information in order to enable the
receiving party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this
Agreement. Neither party shall disclose or supply the Confidential Information
of the other to any non-employee third party without the prior written approval
of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided
the requesting party can demonstrate a need for such disclosure in order to
comply with its obligations hereunder. Either party may disclose portions of
the Confidential Information of the other to governmental regulatory
authorities if such disclosure is required by applicable laws, provided the
party required to make such disclosure notifies the other party of the
applicable legal requirements before such disclosure occurs and assists the
other party to obtain such protection as may be available to preserve the
confidentiality of such information.
11.2 Disposal. Prior to disposal of any media or materials that contain any
part of the Software, Documentation or other Confidential Information of

12 ARBITRATION
In the event a claim, controversy or dispute between Phoenix and Customer
arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions and
business contemplated hereby, including the validity, construction or
enforcement thereof, either party may demand that such matter be submitted to
final and binding arbitration. All arbitration proceedings shall be held in
Atlanta, Georgia, unless Phoenix and Customer agree in writing to another
location. All arbitration proceedings and records shall be in English. Issuance
of an arbitration demand shall suspend the effect of any default entailed by
such claim, controversy or dispute and any judicial or administrative
proceedings instituted in connection therewith, for the duration of the
arbitration proceedings. Arbitration shall be governed by the commercial rules
of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). Arbitration shall be
conducted by one arbitrator who shall be chosen by the AAA within 5 days of
receipt of the arbitration demand. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall
determine whether a default has occurred, and shall deliver its or their
decision within 45 days of the date of receipt of the arbitration demand,

Documentation, or any associated intellectual property rights may not be
awarded under any circumstances. The right to demand arbitration and to receive
damages and obtain other available remedies as provided hereunder shall be the
exclusive remedy in the event an arbitration demand is made, except that
Phoenix shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, such as injunctive
relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights
in the Software, the Documentation, or any associated intellectual property
rights while such proceeding is pending or in support of any award made

RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION GUIDELINES
PROBLEM SEVERITY LEVELS
Every call is assigned a severity level during its setup within the call log.
This severity level controls both the manner and speed with which the Customer
Support specialist responds back to the caller, as well as the timetable within
which the support group works to resolve the problem. All references to time
and business days refer to time and business days Eastern Standard Time.
Standard severity levels are as follows:
Critical Highest priority classification. Assigned to problems that
prevent the bank from conducting normal business, typically
problems involving core processing failures, recurring
application crashes, and serious calculative errors.
High Second highest priority classification. Assigned to problems
that have a serious impact on the bank's operations, but do not
prevent the bank from conducting business. Examples of
high-priority problems include nightly processing errors that
cause the bank to go out of balance, reports with incorrect
information, and inaccurate display screen calculations.
Medium Third highest priority classification. Assigned to problems that
inconvenience the bank but do necessarily represent calculative
errors or other software failures. Typical medium-priority
problems include print routines that take longer than desired,
account setup routines that require redundant data entry, and
window options that do not properly reflect bank-defined default
values.
Low Lowest priority classification. Assigned to problems that are
primarily cosmetic in nature (typographical errors, alignment
problems, etc.). Low-priority problems detract from the system's
elegance and polish, but not from its core functionality.
RESPONSE GUIDELINES
Following are the target response times for each level of problem severity:
Critical A return call will be made within 45 minutes.
High A return call will be made to the bank within 3 hours, but never
later than the end of that business day, unless calls come in
within 1 hour of the end of the business day, in which case a
return call must be made within the first 2 hours of the next
business day.
Medium A return call will be made to the bank during the same business
day, or if the call comes within 3 hours of the end of the
business day, a return call must be made by the end of the next
business day.
Low A return call will be made by the end of the next business day.

RESOLUTION GUIDELINES
Following are the target resolution timeframes for each classification. Phoenix
will use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide a code fix or a work
around for all reported problems within the following time frames. If a work
around is provided, Phoenix will provide a code fix at a later time or with the
next release of the software, if necessary. Given the uncertain nature of
troubleshooting technical software problems, however, Phoenix cannot guarantee
such time frames.
Critical For calls logged either during or after normal support hours,
the problem should be resolved within 5 hours. Phoenix shall
involve such resources as necessary to remedy critical errors as
soon as possible, including escalating the problem to the Senior
Vice President in charge of Client Services within 1 hour.
High For calls logged either during or after normal support hours,
the problem should be resolved within 24 hours.
Medium Based on consultation with the bank, the problem should be
resolved either during the next scheduled software release
(preferred) or, at the bank's explicit request, within 5
business days.
Low The problem should be resolved according to a mutually agreed
schedule.
