accepts, a non-transferable, non-exclusive license (without the right to
sublicense except as provided in Section 2.7) to install, Use, execute, display

Systems in the United States and Canada (and in other countries to which SLGX
consents in writing), to lease use of such Software to Customers pursuant to
Customer Agreements, to distribute copies of Remote Client to Customers who

2
2.2 Territory; Non-Exclusivity. The licenses under Section 2.1 shall be
worldwide with respect to the location of Customers, and shall permit the
installation of Remote Client in any territory, subject to export law
restrictions. HOST acknowledges that its appointment as an ASP for the Software

to HOST.
2.3 Private-Labeling. SLGX grants HOST a non-exclusive, nontransferable
right and license to offer the Software and Services under the following HOST
product name and logo: ebaseOne(TM), provided, however, that all SLGX
proprietary notifications are included and SLGX's authorship is emphasized with
either the tag line "Powered by SalesLogix," or similar branding mutually agreed
to by the parties.
2.4 Copying Rights. HOST may make a reasonable number of copies of the
Software and Documentation for purposes of installing and maintaining the
Software on Hosted Systems, providing copies of Remote Client to Customers, and
providing Services to Customers, provided in each case that HOST complies with
the requirements of Section 9.3.
2.5 License Restrictions and Limitations. HOST shall lease the Software
to a Customer on a per User basis pursuant to a Customer Agreement that: (i)
specifies the number of permitted Users; (ii) provides that the lease must be
pursuant to one of the configurations described on Schedule A; (iii) contain
----------
substantially the same provisions and protections that HOST uses to lease its
own software products of comparable value; and (iv) incorporate and attach the
SLGX shrinkwrap license attached as Schedule C, as it may be reasonably amended
----------
by SLGX from time to time, or such other license form or statement as the
parties may stipulate to in writing from time to time (the "▇▇▇▇").
2.6 Lease Procedure. Upon executing a Customer Agreement, HOST shall
register the following information with SLGX's Automatic Licensing System ("AL-
System"): the Customer' exact corporate name, address, the commencement date of
the Software lease, the number of permitted Users, primary contact information
for the Customer (including such contact's e-mail information), and the initial
lease terms for the relevant Users. HOST shall also follow the same procedure
to: (i) record any amendment of a Customer Agreement that increases or
decreases (consistent with Section 2.5) the prospective number of Users; (ii)
renew or extend the lease term for a User; (iii) register the cancellation of a
logon to allow a substituted User (consistent with Section 1.11); or (iv) record
the permanent expiration of any User lease. Upon the initial registration of a
Customer (and upon the recording of any transaction resulting in an increase of
Users), the AL-System shall automatically issue to HOST the necessary number of
User logons and license numbers to enable the Customer's designated Users to
access and Use the Software. HOST agrees that it will: (i) only disclose to a
Customer only those logons and license numbers that have been specifically
assigned to the Customer's Users by the AL-System; (ii) not make any other use
or disclosure of the logons and license numbers provided by the AL-System; (iii)
not seek to circumvent or bypass any logon, license number or any other security
or copy protection feature contained in the Software; (iv) adopt and implement
reasonable policies to inform and instruct its relevant employees and agents of
the restrictions imposed by this Section; and (v) immediately inform SLGX in
writing of any attempt or threat by any person to
3
crack or circumvent any SLGX or HOST security or copy protection measure
relating to the Software.
2.7 HOST Affiliates. HOST shall not sublicense its rights under this
Section 2 to a subsidiary, affiliate, VAR, OEM or other sub-distributor (each, a
"HOST Affiliate"), or any class of HOST Affiliates, without the prior written
consent of SLGX, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. In the event
SLGX consents to such a sublicense, HOST acknowledges and agrees that it shall:
(i) cause the HOST Affiliate to comply with all material terms and restrictions
applicable to HOST under this Agreement; and (ii) remain directly and wholly
responsible to SLGX for (and to the same extent as if HOST had itself caused)
all losses, claims and damages that SLGX incurs as a result of the HOST
Affiliate's disclosure or distribution of HOST Confidential Information or
breach of any other obligations applicable to HOST under this Agreement.
3. Prices and Payments for Software Leases
---------------------------------------
3.1 License Fees. For each lease of Software to a Customer, HOST agrees
to pay SLGX the license fees set forth in Schedule A (the "License Fees"), which
----------
shall be calculated on a per User per month basis. The License Fees set forth
on Schedule A have been calculated based on the SLGX list prices now in effect
----------
for full licenses to the Software. Approximately 90 days prior to each
Anniversary Date the parties shall meet and confer to determine whether the
license fees set forth in Schedule A should be reduced for new Customer
----------
Agreements effective on the Anniversary Date to reflect any interim reductions
in the SLGX list prices for full licenses to the Software. Any such agreement
to change Schedule A shall be reduced to writing and signed by the parties as a
----------
prospective amendment to Schedule A.
----------
3.2 Minimum Guaranteed Cumulative Fees. Notwithstanding Section 3.1, HOST
hereby commits to pay SLGX, over the Term, the minimum, cumulative non-
refundable License Fees set forth in Schedule A (the "Guaranteed Cumulative
----------
Fees"). HOST shall make additional payments to SLGX, to the extent necessary as
of the end of a calendar quarter, so that the total License Fees paid to SLGX
through the relevant quarter will equal at least the Guaranteed Cumulative Fees
obligation as of such date. All additional payments made pursuant to this
Section 3.2 shall be regarded as the payment of "License Fees" under this
Section 3 and will be credited in full against HOST's License Fee obligations
under Section 3.1. If either party's exercise of a termination or non-renewal
right granted under Section 10 shall cause the Agreement to terminate effective
on a date other than the last date of a calendar quarter, the Guaranteed
Cumulative Fees applicable to the end of such quarter shall be recalculated and
reduced in direct proportion to the amount by which the quarter was shortened.
3.3 Quarterly Invoice Reports; Calculation of License Fees. By the last
date of each calendar quarter, SLGX, using information registered on the AL-
System by HOST, shall calculate the License Fees due under this Agreement for
the quarter just ending (the "Reported Quarter") and shall prepare and deliver a
License Fee invoice report (the "Quarterly Invoice Report") to HOST. The
Quarterly Invoice Report shall describe the number of Users per month for whom
HOST leased the Software during the Reported Quarter. Where a User lease
commenced other than on the first of a calendar month, the quarterly report
shall use an
4
appropriate fraction in calculating License Fees for the partial month. Also,
where a User lease first commenced in the last ten calendar days of a Reported
Quarter, SLGX shall defer invoicing the License Fees due for the relevant
one-to-ten days until the Quarterly Invoice Report for the next Reported
Quarter. Each Quarterly Invoice Report shall calculate and compare License Fees
calculated for the Reported Quarter under Section 3.1, License Fees (including
additional payments previously required under Section 3.2) paid to date, and the
Guaranteed Cumulative Fees applicable to the end of the Reported Quarter, and
shall then report the amount of License Fees due from HOST for the Reported
Quarter.
3.4 Payment Terms. HOST shall pay the License Fees set forth in the
Quarterly Invoice Report within 30 days of receipt of the Quarterly Invoice
Report. All other fees and payments due from one party to another under this
Agreement shall also be paid within 30 days of invoice. All amounts not paid
within 30 days of the relevant invoice shall bear interest at the lesser of 1.5%
per month or the highest contract rate allowed by law, from the date due until
paid. All License Fees and any other payments hereunder shall be paid in U.S.
Dollars.
3.5 Customer Prices. HOST shall remain solely responsible for determining
its own retail prices to Customer for Software leases and Services.
3.6 Taxes. HOST shall remain responsible for payment of any and all
applicable taxes, excises, duties or charges (other than taxes relating to
SLGX's net income) which may arise by virtue of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
4. Support Obligations
-------------------
4.1 HOST Support of Customers. HOST will provide technical and
maintenance support to Customers and to any authorized HOST Affiliates. SLGX
will provide direct support only to HOST, as described below.
4.2 SLGX Support of HOST. During the Term, and for so long thereafter as
HOST continues to lease the Software to Customers and pay License Fees as
provided in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ shall provide HOST with the Support described in
Schedule B. In connection with providing Support, SLGX will use its reasonable
----------
efforts to make the Software perform substantially in accordance with the
Documentation. However, HOST acknowledges that inevitably some errors may exist
in the Products, and the presence of such errors shall not be a breach of this
Section. HOST specifically acknowledges that this Agreement will involve one of
the first Uses of the Software to date through a remote access hosting structure
and that the parties may, in the first several months following the Effective
Date, encounter unanticipated problems or support issues relating to running the
Software in a large scale hosting environment.
4.3 Support of Hosted Systems. HOST shall be solely responsible, at its
own expense, for the acquisition, installation, operation and maintenance of the
Hosted Systems, including any hardware and third party software (other than
third party software products embedded in the Software) necessary or useful for
hosting or Use of the Software. HOST shall identify and promptly inform SLGX of
any design or programming errors or omissions in the
5
Software of which it becomes aware and consult with SLGX regarding necessary
corrections and or modification.

--------------------
5.1 Delivery of Master Disks. Upon execution of this Agreement and the
Non-disclosure agreement, SLGX shall promptly deliver to HOST master disks
containing the Software in object code format.
5.2 Training. SLGX shall provide HOST with the "Start-Up" training on the
terms and conditions described in Schedule A. HOST shall develop an internal
training course for its employees regarding the Use and support of the Software,
which will be consistent with SLGX's then-current training policies for the
Software.

procedures which are in effect for other similar locations then owned or
controlled by HOST; and (c) compliant with any reasonable safety and security
requirements requested by SLGX during the Term.
6.4 Customer License Enforcement. HOST shall use its best efforts to
assist SLGX in the protection of SLGX's legal rights and to enforce the ▇▇▇▇.
HOST shall cooperate fully with SLGX in any action by SLGX in the event of an
actual or threatened violation of SLGX's proprietary rights by a Customer.
6.5 Marketing Practices. Each party shall (a) perform its obligations in
a manner that will preserve the reputation and promote the goodwill, name, and
interests of the other party and its products and service offerings; (b) avoid
deceptive, misleading, or unethical practices that are or might be detrimental
to the other party, its products or service offerings, or the public, including

any warranty given by HOST, HOST Affiliates, or their agents or employees.
8. Indemnification
---------------
8.1 SLGX Indemnification. SLGX agrees, for as long as the Software is
leased by Customers from HOST, at SLGX's expense to defend or settle and hold
harmless HOST from, any third party claim that the leasing of the Software (but
not including any other goods, Services or other parts of the Hosted Systems
provided by HOST) infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or
proprietary right existing under the laws of the United States or Canada or any
state or territory thereof. The indemnification obligation in this Section
shall be effective only if HOST is not in default of its License Fee payment
obligations to SLGX. To reduce or mitigate damages, SLGX may at its own expense
procure the right for HOST to continue leasing and distributing the Software or
replace it with a non-infringing product with substantially equivalent
functionality. If SLGX supplies a non-infringing update or version of the
Software, HOST shall promptly supply the same to its Customers and install the
same on it
7
Hosted Systems. SLGX's indemnification obligations under this Section shall not
apply to an infringement claim that occurs because of and would not have
occurred but for: (i) modifications made to the Software by a party other than
SLGX; (ii) HOST or a Customer's failure to implement a Software enhancement as
required by SLGX; or (iii) use of the Software in combination with programs,
equipment or devices not of SLGX origin or design.
8.2 HOST Indemnification. HOST agrees, for as long as the Software is
leased by Customers from HOST, at HOST's expense to defend or settle and hold
harmless SLGX from, any third party claim: (i) that HOST's provision of Hosted
Systems, goods or Services (other than the Software in the form provided by
SLGX) infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or proprietary
right existing under the laws of the United States or Canada or any state or
territory thereof; or (ii) otherwise resulting from any improper acts or
omissions by HOST relating to its provision of Services, or any
misrepresentations by HOST or its employees or agents relating to the Software.
8.3 Exclusive Remedies. SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 CONSTITUTE THE PARTIES'
RESPECTIVE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS
RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND HOST GOODS AND SERVICES.
8.4 Procedure. Each party seeking indemnification under this Section 8
(the "Indemnified Party") shall give the other party (the "Indemnifying Party")
prompt written notice of the relevant claim, and shall cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim as reasonably requested by
the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of the
claim, however, the Indemnified Party, at its own costs and expense, may
participate in the defense of the claim and be represented by its own counsel.
9. Confidentiality; Proprietary Rights; Trademarks
-----------------------------------------------
9.1 Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that it may receive
or have access to information that is confidential to the other ("Confidential
Information"). Each party's Confidential Information shall include, but not be
limited to, its software programs and related documentation, formulas, methods,
know-how, processes, designs, new products, developmental work, marketing
requirements, marketing plans, customer names, prospective customer names, and
all information clearly identified by it in writing at the time of disclosure as
confidential. Confidential Information also includes all information received
from third parties that either party is obligated to treat as confidential and
oral information that is identified by either party as confidential. A party's
Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes a
part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii)
was in the other party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not
been obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from the
disclosing party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third
party without restriction on disclosure; (iv) is independently developed by the
other party without use of or reference to the other party's Confidential
Information; or (v) the other party is required to disclose by law or valid
order of a court or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the
--------
other party shall first have given notice to the owning party and shall have
made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the
Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which
the order was
8
issued. The parties agree, unless required by law, not to make each other's
Confidential Information available in any form to any third party or to use each
other's Confidential Information for any purpose, other than in connection with
the performance of this Agreement. Each party agrees to take all reasonable
steps to ensure that the other party's Confidential Information is not disclosed
or distributed by its employees or agents in breach of this Agreement. The
parties agree to hold each other's Confidential Information in confidence during
the Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter; provided, however, that
--------
with respect to software code and other highly sensitive confidential
information clearly identified as such at the time of disclosure by either
party, the nondisclosure obligations set forth herein shall continue
indefinitely. This Section 9.1 constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations
or negotiations, whether oral or written, with respect to Confidential
Information.

potential Customers provided to it by SLGX shall be deemed Confidential
Information and used by HOST solely for the purposes of this Agreement, except
as SLGX may otherwise consent in writing. SLGX agrees that any information
concerning Customers provided to the AL-System by HOST under Section 2.6 shall
be deemed Confidential Information and used by SLGX solely for the purposes of
this Agreement, except as HOST may otherwise consent in writing.
9.3 Proprietary Rights. Without limiting the application of Section 9.1,
HOST acknowledges that title in and ownership of the Software and Documentation,
as well as SLGX Trademarks and all intellectual property rights therein, shall
remain at all times vested in SLGX and its licensors. HOST acknowledges that
the Software contains valuable trade secrets and Confidential information of
SLGX and is protected by domestic and international patent and copyright laws
and other forms of proprietary rights. HOST agrees not to copy or otherwise
reproduce (except as permitted herein), or to modify, adapt, translate, reverse
engineer, decompile, disassemble or create derivative works based on, the
Software or the Documentation. HOST agrees to reproduce (and not remove) on all
copies of the Software and Documentation any patent, copyright, trademark, trade
secret or other proprietary notices included by SLGX.
9.4 Trademarks. SLGX grants HOST the right to use any SLGX trademarks,
trade names, logos and service marks that describe the Software (as now existing
or hereafter developed (the "SLGX Marks")), but only for the purpose of leasing
and marketing the Software, and on the condition that HOST: (i) uses the
appropriate SLGX Marks for the corresponding Software; (ii) includes in such use
appropriate registration and other information to identify the SLGX Marks as
belonging to "SalesLogix Corporation"; (iii) takes reasonable steps to modify
all objectionable uses of the SLGX Marks; and (iv) complies with the then
current written SLGX policies relating to SLGX Marks as they may be delivered by
SLGX to HOST from time to time. HOST grants SLGX the right to use any HOST
trademarks, trade names, logos and service marks that describe HOST's offering
of the Software and related Services (as now existing or hereafter developed
(the "HOST Marks")), but only for the purpose of advertising and marketing such
offerings, and on the condition that SLGX: (i) uses the appropriate HOST Marks
for the corresponding HOST offering or Services; (ii) includes in such use
appropriate registration and other information to identify the HOST Marks as
belonging to ebaseOne Corporation (iii) takes reasonable steps to modify all
objectionable uses of the HOST Marks; and (iv) complies with the
9
then current written HOST policies relating to HOST Marks as they may be
delivered by HOST to SLGX from time to time. Except as expressly stated in this
Section 9, nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall give either party any
rights to the trademarks, logos, trade names and service marks of the other.
10. Term and Termination
--------------------
10.1 Initial Term and Renewal. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this
Section 10, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
expire on the Anniversary Date occurring in 200_, following which the Agreement
shall automatically renew and the term be extended for successive one year
periods unless either party provides the other with written notice, at least 60
days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date, of its election not to renew.
10.2 Termination for Breach. If either party shall breach a material
obligation under this Agreement, the other party may give written notice of its
intention to terminate this Agreement, describing in reasonable detail the
breach. If the party charged with breach fails to cure the breach within 30
days following such notice, or if such breach (other than one to pay money) is
not capable of cure within 30 days and the party charged with breach fails to
commence cure procedures within such 30 day period and diligently prosecute such
procedures until the breach is cured, which cure shall be completed no later
than 90 days following the notice, then the noticing party may, while such
failure continues and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in
equity, terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
10.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon any expiration or
termination of this Agreement: (i) HOST shall immediately pay all amounts then
due to SLGX and shall discontinue marketing of the Software and the related
Services to new Customers; and (ii) each party shall cease use of the other
parties' Marks in connection with advertising and marketing activities. In
addition, the following provisions shall apply:
10.3.1 Expiration or Termination Other Than Because of HOST Uncured
Breach. If the Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason other
than an uncured breach by HOST, then notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary: (i) the expiration or termination shall not
affect the rights of Customers to continue to lease the Software (including
the right to obtain lease extensions or add new Users) pursuant to existing
Customer Agreements; and (ii) the Agreement, including but not limited to
License Fee and Support obligations and the right of HOST to retain and use
copies of the Software and related support and training materials delivered
for the purpose of providing support and maintenance to Customers, shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to existing Customers until
lease of Software under all Customer Agreements has terminated. After the
last Customer Agreement has terminated, HOST shall return or destroy, at
SLGX's option, all remaining copies of the Software and other materials
containing SLGX confidential information. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 10.3.1, should HOST commit an additional uncured breach of
the Agreement following the initial expiration or termination, Section
10.4.2 shall become operative upon the expiration of the relevant cure
period.
10
10.3.2 Termination Because of HOST Uncured Breach. If the Agreement
is terminated because of an uncured breach by HOST, then SLGX shall have
its choice of the following: (A) proceeding under the approach set forth
in Section 10.3.1; or (B) proceeding as follows: (i) the expiration or
termination shall terminate the rights of Customers to continue to lease
the Software from HOST effective upon the end of the 90 day period
commencing with the effective date of termination of this Agreement - the
"Transition Period" -- and a Customer may not obtain lease extensions or
add new Users during such Transition Period; (ii) the Agreement, including
but not limited to License Fee and Support obligations and the right of
HOST to retain and use copies of the Software and related support and
training materials delivered for the purpose of providing support and
maintenance of such Customers, shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to existing Customers, but only through the end of the Transition
Period or implementation of a transition solution as described in the next
subsection (iii), whichever is earlier; (iii) During the Transition Period,
the parties will attempt to arrive at a "transition solution" that will
allow the existing Customers to continue to use the Software, including but
not limited to use of the Software through the services of another ASP or
through non-hosted use by the Customer on its own computer systems, and
HOST shall cooperate fully with SLGX in effecting the orderly transfer of
the Software, database information and related materials to one or more
third parties in connection with implementing the transition solution, as
directed by SLGX; (iv) following the earlier of the termination of the
Transition Period or the implementation of a transition solution, HOST
shall return or destroy, at SLGX's option, all remaining copies of the
Software and other materials containing SLGX confidential information.
10.4 Survival of Certain Provisions. All relevant Sections of this
Agreement (except Section 3.2's application of Guaranteed Cumulative Fees) shall
survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for the specific purposes
described in Section 10.3. In addition, Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 4.2, 4.3,

Schedule D
Dispute Resolution Procedures:
The parties hereto deem it to be in their respective best interests to
settle any dispute as expeditiously and economically as possible. Therefore, the
parties expressly agree to submit any dispute between them arising out of or
relating to this Agreement ("Dispute") to mediation as set forth below. The
dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted in Phoenix, Arizona, in the
English language. The parties agree to use the following procedure in good faith
to resolve any Dispute:
A. A meeting shall be held among the parties within ten (10) days after any
party gives written notice of the Dispute to each other party ( the "Dispute
Notice") attended by a representative of each party having decision-making
authority regarding the Dispute (subject to board of directors or equivalent
approval, if required), to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of
the Dispute.
B. If, within twenty (20) days after the Dispute Notice, the parties have not
succeeded in negotiating a written resolution of the Dispute, upon written
request by any party to each other party all parties will promptly negotiate in
good faith to jointly appoint a mutually acceptable neutral person not
affiliated with any of the parties (the "Neutral"). If all parties so agree in
writing, a panel of two or more individuals (such panel also being referred to
as the "Neutral") may be selected by the parties. The parties shall seek
assistance in such regard from the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA")
if they have been unable to agree upon such appointment within thirty (30) days
after the Dispute Notice. The fees and costs of the Neutral and of any such
assistance shall be shared equally among the parties.
C. In consultation with the Neutral, the parties will negotiate in good faith
to select or devise a nonbinding alternative dispute resolution procedure
("Mediation") by which they will attempt to resolve the Dispute, and a time and
place for the Mediation to be held, with the Neutral (at the written request of
any party to each other party) making the decision as to the procedure if the
parties have been unable to agree on any of such matters in writing within
ten (10) days after selection of the Neutral.
D. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the Mediation to its
conclusion; provided, however, that no party shall be obligated to continue to
participate in the Mediation if the parties have not resolved the Dispute in
writing within ninety (90) days after the Dispute Notice and any party shall
have terminated the Mediation by delivery of written notice of termination to
each other party following expiration of said 90-day period. Following any such
termination notice after selection of the Neutral, and if any party so requests
in writing to the Neutral (with a copy to each other party), then the Neutral
shall make a recommended resolution of the Dispute in writing to each party,
which recommendation shall not be binding upon the parties; provided, however,
that the parties shall give good faith consideration to the settlement of the
Dispute on the basis of such recommendation, and if the parties are unable to
resolve the Dispute on the basis of such recommendation, then either party may
seek to resolve the Dispute through other means, including litigation. In the
event of litigation or arbitration, the party seeking further
1
resolution shall pay the reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses
(including expert witness fees) of the other party incurred in connection with
the pursuit of (and defense against) such litigation arbitration, if the result
thereof is less favorable to the party pursuing the litigation or arbitration
than the recommendation of the Neutral.
E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in these
procedures shall preclude any party from seeking interim or provisional relief,
in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other
interim equitable relief concerning the Dispute (or to prevent or enjoin any
unauthorized use, disclosure, misappropriation or infringement of intellectual
property or other confidential information), either prior to or during the
Mediation, and in any court of competent jurisdiction, if necessary to protect
the interests of such party. Further, this paragraph shall be specifically
enforceable.
