Maintenance to Company or fails in any material respect to perform its
Maintenance obligations under this Agreement. Release of the escrowed source
code is dependent upon written authorization of such release by both by i2 and
Company or the receipt by Fort Xxxx of a valid court order or arbitration order.

Software. Disclosure of the source code to a third party is prohibited unless
approved by i2 in writing. Such third party must be subject to a written
confidentiality obligation. The use of the source code shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Company acknowledges that the source
code for the Licensed Software is a proprietary, confidential trade secret of i2
and shall not disclose the source code for the Licensed Software for any purpose
other than maintenance and support as defined in this Agreement and shall keep
the source code in a secured area.
Company has identified Corporate Counsel, located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, whose phone number is (000) 000 0000, and fax number is (408)
468 4045 to be the individual to be contacted by either i2 or Fort Xxxx with
regard to escrow deposits.
5.4. PUBLICITY. Company shall permit i2 to bring in potential i2 customers to
Company's site locations, upon a mutually agreed-to date and time, provided such
potential customers are not direct Company competitors and provided i2 maintains
confidentiality in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. If requested by
i2, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with i2.
5.5. EXPORT OF SYSTEM. Company acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential
Information, the System and the other property of i2 and/or i2's suppliers, in
whole and/or in part, may be subject to export controls imposed by the United
States Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, the regulations
promulgated thereunder, as well as any future U.S. export control legislation
(collectively the "Act") and/or other regulation by agencies of the U.S.
Government or other applicable country(ies), which prohibit export or diversion
of certain products and technology to certain countries (collectively, the
"Export Regulations"). Company will not allow the information and other property
disclosed to it, in whole or in part, to be exported or re-exported, or
otherwise be distributed outside of the United States, in any manner or by any
means, without in each instance complying in full with the Act and any other

required, (a) the prior approval of the appropriate government authorities of
the United States, (b) a validated export license from the Office of Export
Administration within the U.S. Department of Commerce and (c) the prior approval
of and/or license(s) from the appropriate governmental authorities of any and
all other applicable countries. Company will comply with all applicable laws and
regulations of the United States of America and any other applicable country in
performing its duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, i2 may, from time to time, in its sole
reasonable discretion, by providing written notice to Company, restrict Company
from exporting or re-exporting or otherwise distributing any of the information
or other property provided by i2 to specific specified countries. Company will
defend, hold harmless and indemnify i2, i2's suppliers and its and their
officers, directors employees and/or agents, from and against

to the extent caused by Company. Refer to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
5.6. BRANDING. Company will prominently display the i2 brand designated by i2 on
Company's "Partners" page. The logo and branding shall comply with Company's and
i2's respective reasonable trademark usage guidelines and will demonstrate that
Company's content is powered by i2, and will include, at a minimum, a logo and
the hyperlinked tagline "Powered by i2's TradeMatrix" that links to xxx.x0.xxx
or such other website or websites as i2 shall notify Company.
6. LIMITED SOFTWARE WARRANTY
6.1. LIMITED WARRANTY. i2 warrants to Company that, during the Warranty Period,
the System furnished by i2 will function substantially in accordance with the
Documentation. If during the Warranty Period, the System does not function
substantially in accordance with the Documentation, Company shall promptly
notify i2 in writing of any claimed deficiency. Provided that such deficiency
exists and can be replicated by or for i2, i2 shall, within thirty (30) days,
(a) correct or provide an avoidance procedure for such deficiency; or (b)
provide Company with a plan acceptable to Company for correcting or providing an
avoidance procedure for the deficiency. However, if i2 is unable to correct the
System so that it performs substantially in accordance with the Documentation,
i2 shall refund all license fees and a pro rata refund of prepaid annual
Maintenance fees, whereupon this Agreement and all licenses granted hereby shall
terminate. The preceding shall constitute i2's entire liability and Company's
exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty set forth herein.
6.2. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. i2
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. i2 DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN
COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. COMPANY SHALL NOT, AND SHALL TAKE
ALL MEASURES NECESSARY TO INSURE THAT ITS AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES DO NOT, MAKE OR
PASS THROUGH ANY SUCH WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF i2 TO ANY THIRD PARTY. COMPANY
HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION OR
THE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF SUCH LIMITED WARRANTY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
GENERAL. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other that: (i) such
Party has the right, corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to fully perform all its obligations, including the right (including, in the

is information which a reasonable person would deem to be non-public information
and confidential. i2's Confidential Information shall include, but not be
limited to, the System.
8.2. EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding paragraph 8.1 hereof, Confidential Information
shall exclude information that the receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was

agents (or independent contractors hired by the receiving Party) who have not
been exposed to the disclosing Party's Confidential Information; (ii) becomes
known to the receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the
disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement and that had a right to
disclose it; (iii) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or

or (iv) was rightfully known to the receiving Party, without restriction, at the

equitable relief to protect its interest therein, including but not limited to
injunctive relief, as well as money damages.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7
8
EXCEED [*]
9.2. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF
SECTION 8 HEREOF AND/OR LIABILITY UNDER SECTION 10, NEITHER PARTY HERETO (NOR
ANY LICENSOR OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE) SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLE, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST DATA OR LOST
RECORDS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.3. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE
OF ACTION UNDER WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT.
10. INDEMNITY
10.1. i2 INDEMNIFICATION. i2 shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend, at its
expense, Company from and against any third party claims alleging that the
System, or use of the System, infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret,
copyright (including moral rights) or other Intellectual Property right of a
third party. The indemnity against infringement is solely in connection with the
use by Company of the System for the Marketplaces as set forth in this
Agreement. The indemnification obligation of this Section 10.1 shall not apply
to any claim arising out of (I) the combination of the System with other
products or data not claimed to be owned or developed by or on behalf of i2, or
approved by i2 in writing, to the extent that the alleged infringement would
have been avoided absent such combination, (II) any Derivative Work of the
System prepared by anyone other than i2 or a party acting on i2's behalf, or
approved by i2 in writing, to the extent that alleged infringement would have
been avoided absent such modification, (III) use of the System in breach of the
instructions in the Documentation, or (IV) use of other than a current release
of the System if such infringement would have been avoided by use of a current
release that has been made available to Company.
If a third party's claims substantially interfere with Company's use of the
System or if i2 believes that a third party claim may substantially interfere
with Company's use of the System, i2, at its sole discretion, may (a) replace
the System, without additional charge, with a functionally equivalent and
non-infringing product; (b) modify the System to be functionally equivalent and
avoid the infringement; (c) obtain a license for Company to continue use of the
System and pay any additional fee required for such license: or (d) if none of
the foregoing alternatives are commercially reasonable, i2 may terminate the
license for the infringing software. In such event, Company shall de-install the
infringing software and return all copies to i2. Upon return, i2 shall refund to
Company a prorated portion of all license fees paid to i2 reduced on a monthly
straight line three (3) year basis and a pro rata refund of prepaid Maintenance
fees for the then-current annual period. This Section 10 shall constitute i2's
entire liability and Company's exclusive remedy for a claim of infringement.
10.2. COMPANY INDEMNIFICATION. Company shall hold harmless and defend, at its
expense, i2 from and against any third party claims alleging (i) use of the
System by Company in a manner other than as authorized by this Agreement, and
(ii) or arising out of or in connection with the business operations and
services offered by Company to the extent that the third party claim is not
directly related to the failure of the System to operate substantially in
accordance with the Documentation or Specifications.
10.3. NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION. A Party seeking indemnification pursuant to
this Section 10 (an "Indemnified Party") from or against the assertion of any
claim by a third person (a "Third Person Assertion") shall give prompt notice to
the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the
*Confidential treatment requested.
8

"Indemnifying Party"); provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to
the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual material prejudice by such
failure).
10.4. ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of notice
from the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified
Party, to assume the defense of a Third Person Assertion. If the Indemnifying
Party assumes such defense, the Indemnifying Party may select counsel, which
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.
10.5. FAILURE TO DEFEND. If the Indemnifying Party (a) does not assume the
defense of any Third Person Assertion in accordance with Section 10.4 hereof; or
(b) having so assumed such defense, unreasonably fails to defend against such
Third Person Assertion, then, upon ten (10) days' written notice to the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such Third
Person Assertion. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled under
this Section 10 as part of its damages to indemnification for the costs of such
defense.
10.6. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. If the Indemnifying Party has been advised by the
written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party that the use of the same
counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party would
present a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party may select its own
counsel to represent the Indemnified Party in the defense of the matter and the
costs of such defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to continue to handle its own representation in such
matter through its own counsel.
10.7. SETTLEMENT. The Party controlling the defense of a Third Person Assertion
shall have the right to consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, or
otherwise settle, such Third Person Assertion.
10.8. PARTICIPATION. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Person Assertion. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in
the defense or settlement of any Third Person Assertion.
10.9. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS
AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR A CLAIM UNDER SECTION 8 HEREOF, THE FOREGOING STATES EACH
PARTY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND EACH OTHER PARTY'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION

resolution of issues reported by his/her customer based on severity.

issues in his/her work queue. The Dedicated Support Consultant is the first
level of escalation for any customer issues.
MISSION CRITICAL ACCESS
In a mission critical environment, rapid resolution to fatal or critical issues
may depend on the ability of the Support Consultant to have immediate access to
the customer environment. In the case of i2Gold and i2Platinum customers, i2,
with the cooperation of the customer, will establish remote access to the
customer's development, QA or test environment. i2 will bear the cost of
software and hardware required for this access at its end, provided the customer
bears similar costs at their end in addition to the cost of maintaining the
access.
PRIORITY CASE HANDLING
Throughout the life cycle of a support issue, issues reported by i2Gold and
i2Platinum customers are treated with higher priority than issues reported by
i2Silver customers, given that the severity of the cases are identical.

Availability Program enables customers to identify and report problems with the
software during the product development cycle. Acceptance into the Early
Availability Program is at i2's discretion.
FIRST LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS

application support needs that encompass their solution can now make a choice to
do so. i2 will work with customers to investigate the possibility of providing
first level support to additional Third Party Products that work with or are
related to i2 solutions.

review. This review includes solution model and process reviews, discussions on
the business value of available solution enhancements and requirements gathering
for future solution enhancements. On-site reviews are conducted on a mutually
agreed to, as needed, basis and i2Platinum customers are entitled to a
pre-determined number of free consulting hours that is based on the nature of
the implementation and the details of the contract between i2 and the customer.

complete customer satisfaction and is a single point of contact for all second
level escalations from the Dedicated Support Consultant.

impact of software upgrades and to quickly replicate issues that are particular
to the customer environment. i2 will support the upgrade and maintenance but the
customer will have to bear all cost associated with hardware, operating systems,
third party products, middle-xxxx and setup of the environment.

i2Platinum customers are entitled to accelerated response and resolution to
their issues compared to similar issues reported by i2Silver and i2Gold
customers. This combined with priority case handling ensures that i2Platinum
customers are placed on the high velocity track to success with their RHYTHM
solution. Appendix - 1 is a guide to resolution expectations.
GUARANTEED 15 MINUTE WORLDWIDE EMERGENCY RESPONSE

and identification of individual assigned to
resolve problem
