2. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
2.1. Scope. This Agreement, including any Attachments hereto, sets forth
the terms and conditions pursuant to which SAP will license Licensed
Software from Licensor and will be permitted to modify, market and
sublicense the Licensed Software (and any derivative works thereof)
embedded in SAP Software.
2.2. Inconsistent Terms. Deviating terms and conditions, including,
without limitation, those contained in either party's standard terms
and/or standard contracts, purchase orders, invoices and
acknowledgments, shall not apply even if referred to by one party and
not expressly objected to by the other party. Silence by one party
amounts to rejection of the other party's terms and conditions.
3. RIGHTS OF SAP
3.1. NDR Object Code License. Licensor hereby grants to SAP and the
Applicable Entities a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited
license to use the current commercial release of the Licensed
Software and any releases or updates thereto made during the term
hereof, in each case in Object Code form only, for NDR Use basis and
an Internal Use basis. Licensor shall provide SAP one (1) copy of the
Licensed Software for such purpose, and SAP shall have the right to
distribute the necessary number of copies of the Licensed Software to
the Applicable Entities for such purpose. SAP and the Applicable
Entities shall not use such software for any purpose other than NDR
Use and Internal Use, and shall not use the Licensed Software to
provide external connectivity or service bureau services to any third
party (but SAP and the Applicable Entities may use SAP Software which
embeds Embedded Licensed Software to provide such services to third
parties).
3.2. Licensed Software Source Code License. Licensor hereby grants to SAP
(and, as necessary for the development of SAP Software, SAP Labs,
Inc. and other SAP subsidiaries identified to Licensor in writing by
SAP from time to time) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited
license to use the Licensed Software in Source Code form solely for
the purpose of integrating and embedding the Licensed Software into
the SAP Software. Licensor understands that it may be necessary to
create derivative works of the Licensed Software in the process of
implementing such integration and embedding and hereby grants SAP
(and, as necessary for the development of SAP Software, SAP Labs,
Inc. and any other SAP subsidiaries identified to Licensor in writing
by SAP from time to time) the right to create derivative works of the
Licensed Software for such purpose. Any portion of such a derivative
work that is created solely or jointly by either party, shall be
owned by SAP, and, except as may otherwise be specifically provided
in this Agreement or agreed upon in writing by the parties, SAP and
the Applicable Entities shall not be restricted with respect to
usage, modification, marketing or licensing such portions. For the
purpose of ensuring interoperability and supportability of the
Licensed Software, within a reasonable period, SAP shall deliver to
Licensor one copy of the Source Code representing the portion of each
such derivative work that performs the function or functions
generally performed by the Licensed Software. Subject to the
restrictions set forth in Article 4.4, SAP grants (or shall cause SAP
Labs, Inc. or such other SAP
-3-
4
subsidiary to grant) to Licensor a fully paid up, perpetual,
worldwide license to use, modify, distribute or otherwise make use of
such derivative works delivered to Licensor pursuant to the prior
sentence. Any patches, work arounds or bug fixes to the Licensed
Software, created solely or jointly by either party, shall remain the
sole property of Licensor. SAP shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to Licensor any fixes to the Licensed Software as soon as reasonably
practicable but in no event later than once each quarter. The version
of the Licensed Software or its derivative that is incorporated into
the SAP Software shall be referred to herein as the "Embedded
Licensed Software". Except as provided herein solely with respect to
certain application programming interfaces delivered with the
Embedded Licensed Software, in no event shall SAP or the Applicable
Entities have the right to market, distribute, sell, disclose or
sublicense the Source Code form of the Licensed Software.
Licensor shall provide SAP with one (1) copy of the Source Code, and
one (1) backup copy of such Source Code. SAP shall maintain the
primary backup copies of the Source Code in locked safes in secure
facilities, and shall install the Source Code on not more than two
networked computer systems in secure facilities and accessible by
only those employees of SAP (and, as necessary for the development of
SAP Software, SAP Labs, Inc. and any other identified SAP
subsidiaries) with a need to have access to it for the purpose of
integrating or embedding Licensed Software into SAP Software or
providing customer support of the Embedded Licensed Software, which
the parties recognize will only include software developers, second
and third level support personnel and systems administrators (with
respect to standard back-up and administrative procedures). SAP
agrees to use (and to cause its subsidiaries to use) the same degree
of care in protecting the Source Code form of the Licensed Software
as it generally uses to protect its own or its other development
partners' Source Code, but in no event less than reasonable care to
prevent access to source code by any other employees of SAP, SAP's
subsidiaries or any other third party. SAP shall provide Licensor
upon reasonable request with a written report indicating the
locations of the Source Code and listing all employees, consultants
or agents of SAP, SAP Labs, Inc. and any other identified SAP
subsidiaries that have access to the Source Code.
3.3. Embedded Licensed Software Object Code License. Licensor hereby
grants to SAP and the Applicable Entities a non-exclusive, non
transferable, limited right and license to make copies of the master
media copies of the Embedded Licensed Software, and to use, modify,
sublicense and distribute the Embedded Licensed Software, in Object
Code form only to End-Users and SAP partners only (except as
otherwise permitted herein), within the Territory. SAP and the
Applicable Entities shall not have the right to copy, distribute or
sublicense the Embedded Licensed Software except as a component of
SAP Software containing meaningful functionality in addition to the
functionality provided by the Licensed Software; provided, that the
parties acknowledge that the offering by SAP and the Applicable
Entities of the Licensed Software as a component of a bundled package
which includes other SAP Basis software development and integration
tools shall be permissible hereunder. The Embedded Licensed Software
(including any Derivative Products) will be distributed by SAP and
the Applicable Entities pursuant to terms no less restrictive than
those contained in the license agreements used by SAP and the
Applicable Entities for the licensing of SAP Software to End Users.
SAP and the
-4-
5
Applicable Entities shall be entitled to determine the license fees
that SAP or such entities charge End-Users for the SAP Software
independently of Licensor. However, if at any time during the term of
this Agreement SAP begins to charge End-Users separately to obtain
the functionality of the Embedded Licensed Software, Licensor and SAP
agree to attempt in good faith to negotiate a payment arrangement
that will fairly compensate Licensor under such circumstances to
replace the License Fee provided for in this Agreement.
3.4. Scope Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the rights granted to SAP and the
Applicable Entities hereunder shall be limited solely to use of the
Embedded Licensed Software for connection over the internet, over a
distributed network or otherwise of (a) SAP Software with SAP
Software or (b) SAP Software with browsers and other human interface
software using HTML and XML.
3.5. Publication and Ownership of Interface Data Structures. Licensor
agrees that SAP shall own and shall have the right to publish the
interface data structures and protocols which permit the SAP Software
to pass data to and from the Embedded Licensed Software (the "R/3-B2B
Protocols"). SAP agrees that Licensor shall own the interface data
structures and protocols developed by Licensor which permit the
Embedded Licensed Software to pass data over the internet, over a
distributed network or otherwise to and from other SAP Software,
browsers or other human interface software using HTML or XML (whether
in XML or a proprietary format) or Licensor Software (including,
without limitation, the Licensed Software) (collectively, the "WM-XML
Protocols"). Licensor agrees that SAP shall own any interface data
structures and protocols developed by SAP which permit the Embedded
Licensed Software to pass data over the internet, over a distributed
network or otherwise to and from other SAP Software, browsers or
other human interface software using HTML or XML (collectively, the
"SAP-XML Protocols"). Licensor agrees that SAP is hereby provided a
worldwide, fully-paid, nonexclusive license for the use, distribution
and modification of the WM-XML Protocols. SAP agrees that Licensor is
hereby provided a worldwide, fully-paid, nonexclusive license for the
use, distribution and modification of the R/3-B2B Protocols and the
SAP-XML Protocols. SAP and Licensor hereby agree to publish the
WM-XML. Protocols to a standards body competent in establishing
industry interface specification as promptly as practicable (or, if
the parties cannot mutually agree upon such standards body, the
parties will jointly submit the specification to the World Wide Web
consortium). Following such joint publication, SAP shall have the
right to publish the WM-XML Protocols from time to time. Each party
hereby agrees that the other party and any third parties shall be
permitted to create products using the WM-XML Protocols and the
SAP-XML Protocols without any obligation to account to such party.
Accordingly, Licensor acknowledges that, following the publication of
the WM-XML Protocols, third parties will be permitted to use the
WM-XML Protocols to develop products which may be competitive with
the Licensed Software. Prior to the joint publication of the WM-XML
Protocols, SAP may distribute API sample code for the WM-XML
Protocols.
3.6. SAP has the right to develop software competitive to the Licensed
Software and to embed competitors' software in SAP Software,
provided, however, that at no time during or after the term hereof
shall SAP (a) use any confidential or proprietary information of
Licensor
-5-
6
to develop such software, or (b) employ or retain any person having
exposure to the Source Code form of the Licensed Software for or in
connection with any such development effort (except in connection
with Microsoft's BizTalk software products).
3.7. Reasonable Efforts to Embed. SAP will use reasonable efforts to embed
the Licensed Software (or Derivative Products thereof) in SAP's
Business-to-Business Procurement and Business Connector solutions,
but SAP shall have no obligation to do so.
3.8. No Implied License. Except for the express license granted herein, no
other licenses are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
4. LICENSOR'S OBLIGATIONS
4.1. Installation. Licensor's personnel shall install, within five
business days after the Effective Date, on one (1) network file
server, the Source Code copy of the Licensed Software at the SAP

Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406
under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended Asterisks

3.1 and higher) as part of the SAP Business Connector
product within ninety (90) calendar days following
the release by Licensor for general availability of
Licensor's B2B Server Version 3.0 and the delivery of
the Source Code form of such release to SAP;

Licensor may license the Licensed Software for use
with SAP R/3 Release 3.0 and prior releases for
particular SAP customers; or
(iii) SAP embeds in SAP Software, resells or otherwise
distributes to End Users software (which is not
Licensed Software or a derivative work of the
Licensed Software), whether developed internally by
SAP or licensed or otherwise acquired by SAP from a
third party, with substantially the same
functionality as the Licensed Software or which
otherwise is directly competitive with the Licensed
Software. SAP shall provide Licensor with 90 days'
prior written notice of any such event, the
restriction shall expire upon receipt of such notice
and SAP agrees that (a) it shall not announce
publicly its planned distribution of the competitive
product until the earlier to occur of (I) a public
announcement by Licensor that it will commence
distribution of the Licensed Software to End Users
for the uses set forth above in this Section 4.4 and
(II) the expiration of thirty (30) days following the
delivery of such written notice to Licensor and (b)
it shall not deliver the competitive product to

4.5. Inter-Operability. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to work together to ensure that the Embedded Licensed
Software is and will continue to be during the entire term of this
Agreement compatible with SAP Software, including new versions or
releases thereof.
4.6. Essential Third Party Software. For the purposes of this Agreement,
Essential Third Party Software shall be treated by the parties in all
respects as Licensed Software for the purposes of the parties'
obligations with respect to delivery, support, services and
restrictions upon use and distribution. Without limiting the
foregoing, Licensor shall cause to be developed and incorporated into
its B2B Server Version 3.0 (for general availability) the necessary
interfaces to the * software included in the Essential Third Party
Software, which will be provided to SAP on or prior to June 30, 1999.
Licensor shall provide SAP with, or cause SAP to be provided with,
necessary maintenance and support with respect to the * software
included in the Essential Third Party Software, and Licensor shall be

third parties in respect of all Essential Third Party Software
(provided, however, that SAP shall be responsible for any fees or
payments due to RSA Data Security, Inc. with respect to the
distribution of SAP Software in the United States of America). Solely
to the extent permissible under its licensing arrangement with the
relevant vendor, Licensor will use reasonable efforts to provide SAP
access to the Source Code form of Essential Third Party Software for
reference and informational purposes. Notwithstanding anything

Commission pursuant to Rule 406
under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Asterisks

contained herein to the contrary, other than the * software or as
otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties, third party
encryption software shall be considered "Non-Essential Third Party
Software", rather than "Essential Third Party Software", for the
purposes of this Agreement.
4.7. Non-Essential Third Party Software. Licensor will use its reasonable
efforts to cooperate with SAP to obtain access for SAP to any
Non-Essential Third Party Software for embedding in SAP Software with
the Licensed Software. To the extent that any Non-Essential Third
Party Software is embedded in SAP Software with the Licensed
Software, Licensor shall be responsible for maintenance and support
thereof (subject to the terms and conditions applicable to
maintenance and support by Licensor of the Licensed Software).
5. SAP'S OBLIGATIONS

5.2. End User License Terms. SAP and the Applicable Entities shall enter
into legally enforceable, written license agreements with each End
User containing the terms and conditions under which the Embedded

agreements then employed by SAP or the Applicable Entities.
5.3. SAP R/3 License. SAP shall provide Licensor with a standard
demonstration/test license for SAP R/3 at no charge for the term of
this Agreement, provided that Licensor shall be responsible for any
cost associated with obtaining any necessary database software

advance prior written notice to the other party of any changes to its
software products which such party believes may have an adverse
impact on the other party's products hereunder and agrees otherwise
to consult with the other party on such changes.
-8-
9
6.2. Nonsolicitation. Neither Licensor nor SAP shall, during the term of
the Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following termination,

interfaces to Embedded Licensed Software. Licensor agrees to provide
the Development Services of two experienced full-time consultants
(the "Development Consultants") to SAP at no charge for the term of
this Agreement. Such Development Consultants shall be located in
Walldorf, Germany (unless otherwise agreed by the parties), but shall
remain employees of Licensor. The activities of such development
consultants shall be guided by SAP, but such development consultants
will be supervised by Licensor.
7.2. Modifications and Enhancements. In addition to the Development
Services to be performed by the development consultants pursuant to
Section 7.1 above, SAP may request Licensor to make modifications or
enhancements to the Licensed Software. Licensor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to make any requested modifications
or enhancements that Licensor and SAP mutually agree are critical to
the performance or commercial viability of the Licensed Software or
the SAP Software embedding the Licensed Software, including, without
limitation, those specific modifications, enhancements or bug fixes
listed in Attachment B hereto promptly within the time period agreed
upon by the Steering Committee, without any additional charge. SAP
may also make suggestions for non-critical modifications to Licensed
Software for consideration in Licensor's standard product planning
process. Licensor may, at its sole discretion, elect to incorporate
such suggestions into the Licensed Software but shall have no
obligation to do so. If Licensor rejects SAP's suggestions, SAP may
request Licensor to provide a quote for the addition of the
non-critical modifications. For the fees and expenses mutually agreed
upon by the parties, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to complete such non-critical modifications or enhancements
to the Licensed Software requested by SAP within a reasonable time
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor reserve the right to
refuse a request by SAP to provide such non-critical

termination of Licensor's obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2
hereof but will not terminate or otherwise affect any other rights or
obligations arising under this Agreement.
7.5. Expenses. SAP shall reimburse Licensor a fixed amount equal to * per
calendar month (payable quarterly to Licensor with the License Fee)
per Development Consultant with respect to such Development
Consultant's relocation and lodging expenses while such Development
Consultant is located in Walldorf. In addition, SAP shall reimburse
Licensor for the cost of one round-trip coach class airfare with
respect to the relocation of each Development Consultant to Walldorf.
All travel and lodging expenses otherwise incurred by each of the
parties in connection with the performance of its obligations
hereunder shall be borne by such party, unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the responsible party.
7.6. Steering Committee. Both parties shall form a joint "Steering
Committee" of one responsible development manager from each party to
supervise the Development Services, review the work product of the
Development Services, agree on further Development Services and to
discuss any other matters concerning the Development Services.
7.7. Other Services. Any other services requested by SAP and not provided
for herein or in Attachment B shall be performed only pursuant to the
terms and conditions of a separately negotiated and executed services
agreement.

Common Case Priorities
The End User himself defines the case priority/severity in accordance to the
following general rules.
- Priority 1: Very high:
A message with priority "very high" is justified when extremely
serious interruptions in normal operations occur: Tasks that brook no
delay whatsoever cannot be executed. This is caused by a complete
crash of or by interruptions in main functions of the respective
software product.
The message requires immediate processing, as the breakdown can result
in significant losses.
- Priority 2: High:
A message with priority "high" is justified when serious interruptions
in normal operations occur: Important tasks cannot be performed. This
is caused by a malfunctioning or unavailable function in the
respective software product that is urgently required to deal with the
current situation.
The message requires quick processing, as a lasting malfunction could
cause serious interruptions to all work in the production system
- Priority 3: Medium:
A message with priority "medium" is justified when interruptions in
normal operations occur This is caused by a malfunctioning or
unavailable function in the respective software product.
- Priority 4: Low:
A message with priority "low" is justified when only minor
interruptions in normal operations occur. This is caused by a
malfunctioning or unavailable function in the respective software
product that is not required on a daily basis or not used regularly.
- Classification of Test Systems:
Identical problem situations in test systems will normally justify a
priority that is one level lower than the equivalent priority in a
production system.

Support Process Description
1. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
1.1. SAP's support organization shall be solely responsible for receiving
Cases and providing initial problem evaluation to End Users. Before
transferring the case to Licensor, SAP will make reasonable efforts to
track any case down to the level of investigation specified in Exhibit
F. If SAP is unable to resolve the problem in a timely manner, SAP
will initially contact the designated technical support department(s),
and, if needed, the technical support contact(s) of Licensor.
1.2. SAP will supply the technical support department/contact with the
required End User information specified in Exhibit E. Licensor's
technical support department/contact will then use reasonable efforts
to provide the End User with a Case Remedy that is satisfactory to the
End User in accordance with the applicable priority category of the
Common Case Priorities.
1.3. Each party shall respond to and use reasonable efforts to resolve End
User Cases in a prompt manner. The solving party will inform the other
of the final resolution to achieve a Case closure. The decision on
whether and when a Case is successfully resolved and can therefore be
closed is done by the End User. Each party acknowledges that, despite
a party's reasonable efforts, not all problems may be solvable.
2. ESCALATION OF END-USER PROBLEMS
2.1. The escalation procedure ("escalation") will be followed if either
party believes a Case requires additional attention by the other party
to resolve the problem. The escalation process is mainly in progress
when a technical problem situation arises, however, solution of this
problem requires non technical support for solving it. Escalation is
triggered by high levels of End User anxiety when either case occurs:
(a) A case remedy leads to a not satisfactory End User solution by
either party involved;
(b) SAP concerns about the solution given by Licensor (or v.v.);
(c) the End User who reported the original case is dissatisfied
with a given solution and comes back to SAP.
2.2. For direct escalation, either party's escalation contact or support
engineer may call the other party's escalation contact or support
engineer to start a case escalation.
Once a party requests escalation a mutual action plan will be
developed which defines steps, to resolve End User problem. The steps
are at minimum:
D-1
33
(a) address resources or increase them if already addressed, and
(b) define responsibilities for each action, and
(c) expected completion date and time of each action, and
(d) contingency/next steps if desired results are not achieved.
2.3. This action plan will be modified by mutual agreement among the
designated contacts whenever the situation requires.
2.4. When the End User states 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.
2.5. A review of the case will be provided for the End User at the End
User's request or upon the request of SAP.

▇▇▇▇▇ of Investigation
SAP will provide the initial problem evaluation through Local and Regional
Support. The Regional Support will make a determination of whether a Case is
due to a problem with the integration or the Embedded Licensed Software. All
Cases requiring Development Support will initially be transferred to SAP'S
Development Support organization. If the Case appears to be due to incorrect
installation of the Embedded Licensed Software, due to a defect in the Embedded
Licensed Software's modules of integration, due to use of the Embedded Licensed
Software or due to a defect in the Embedded Licensed Software, SAP Development
Support will refer the Case to Licensor.
If available, SAP Development Support will include specific identification of
the cause of the problem where possible and providing test cases of same, to
the extent practicable in the circumstances.

accident, strikes or labor disputes, inability to procure or obtain delivery of
parts, supplies or power, war or other violence, any law, order, proclamation,
regulation, ordinance, demand or requirements or any governmental agency, or any

between webMethods and Licensee with respect to the subject matter hereof.
9.7 Any modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement must be in
writing and bear the signature of the duly authorized representative of each
party.
9.8 The failure of either party to exercise any right granted herein, or to
require the performance by the other party hereto of any provision of this
Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement, will
not prevent a subsequent
47
exercise or enforcement of such provisions or be deemed a waiver or any
subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
9.9 In any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be in violation of any applicable law or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable, such provision will to such extent as it will be determined to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under such law be deemed null and void, but
this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
