(including any modifications or enhancements thereto) and any software
delivered by Horizon under this or any other agreement, as well as all
related documentation, is proprietary to Horizon or third parties.
Customer undertakes to treat the Software and other materials supplied

confidential trade secret materials of Horizon or third parties.
Customer shall not directly or indirectly through third parties copy,
reverse engineer, or otherwise misappropriate any part of the Software,
or distribute or transfer the Software to any person except as provided
herein.
8.2 CONFIDENTIALITY.
8.2.1 The parties acknowledge that all information (including the terms and
conditions hereof) of a material nature (1) marked as confidential and
disclosed by either party to the other, or (2) which, even if not
marked as confidential, comes to the attention of either party or its
employees, officers, agents, contractors or advisors
("Representatives") during the course of work pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, is confidential information ("Confidential
Information"). The parties
3
further agree that Confidential Information includes, without
limitation, any software proprietary to Horizon and Customer client
records. Each party acknowledges the other party's statements that
Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of and is
proprietary to the party disclosing or originally possessing it. The
parties and their Representatives shall keep strictly confidential any
Confidential Information which is disclosed or of which the other party
or their Representatives become aware. Neither party shall disclose
Confidential Information or knowingly permit its Representatives to
disclose Confidential Information to any person other than its
Representatives or to any person among its Representatives not having a
specific need to know in performance of the work. Each party shall take
reasonable care to insure fulfillment of this obligation, including
instructing its Representatives not to sell, lease, assign, transfer,
use outside their scope of employment or reveal any Confidential
Information without prior written consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may without the consent of

Customer's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

of a party ("Discloser") disclosed in connection with this Agreement is
served upon the other party ("Recipient"), the Recipient shall notify
the Discloser immediately, and the Discloser shall cooperate with the
Recipient, at the Discloser's expense, in any lawful effort to contest
the validity of such subpoena or other legal process.
8.2.3 The obligations of confidentiality in this Section shall survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not apply to any
information which a party has in its possession when disclosed to it by
the other party, information which a party independently develops,
information which is or becomes known to the public other than by
breach of this Agreement or information rightfully received by a party
from a third party without the obligation of confidentiality.
8.3 Customer may disclose the Software to its own employees and
subcontractors who have the need to know in exercising Customer's right
to use the Software provided that such employees and subcontractors
have agreed to observe in substance the obligations of Customer set
forth in the preceding paragraph 8.2. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, any other disclosure requires Horizon's prior written
consent.
9 ACCEPTANCE.
9.1 During the Acceptance Period, Customer shall perform whatever
acceptance tests on the Software it may wish to confirm that the
Software is Operative. If Customer discovers during the applicable
Acceptance Period that any Software is not Operative, Customer shall
notify Horizon in writing of all the deficiencies in sufficient detail
to permit Horizon to reproduce them. Horizon, at its own expense, shall
modify, repair, adjust or replace the Software to make it Operative
within 30 days after Horizon's receipt of Customer's deficiency notice.
Customer may perform additional acceptance tests during a period
commencing when Horizon has delivered revised Software correcting all
the deficiencies Customer has noted. This restarted Acceptance Period
shall have a duration of 30 days, unless Customer earlier accepts the
Software in writing. If the Software, at the end of the Acceptance
Period as so extended, has a Major Error, and Horizon is not able to
effect a solution or workaround within a reasonable period of time (not
to exceed 48 hours), then Customer may terminate this Agreement or, at
its option, accept the Software. If Customer does not notify Horizon of
acceptance or rejection of the Software, it shall be deemed accepted at
the end of the Acceptance Period extended pursuant to this paragraph.
If not previously accepted, the Software shall also be deemed accepted
when used in commercial production purposes.
9.2 Customer shall use the procedure in this Section to determine
acceptance of New Products. If Customer finds a New Product not to be
Operative and rejects it, Customer shall have no obligation to pay the
license fee for such New Product, and Horizon shall continue to support
the version or release of the Software that Customer has installed for
at least one year after any such rejection. If Horizon develops any
Enhancement pursuant to a Work Order for Customer at the Support
Services Rates set forth in Schedule A, Customer shall pay Horizon's
charges at such Support Services Rates for a reasonable amount of time
expended to fix bugs in such Enhancement during any applicable
4
Acceptance Period; NO WARRANTY PERIOD APPLIES TO ANY SUCH ENHANCEMENT.
10 TRAINING AND USE OF TRAINED PERSONNEL. Customer shall limit use and
access to the Software to employees trained in the use of the Software.
Initial training shall be provided in accordance with the terms of
Schedule B: Maintenance & Other Services. Additional training shall be
provided, if requested by Customer, in accordance with Horizon's
then-current education and training policy and fees. Such training
shall be provided at a mutually agreed location at the fees specified
in Schedule A.
11 WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
11.1 WARRANTY.
11.1.1 The Software shall be and shall remain Operative (a) from completion of
installation through the end of the Warranty Period and (b) at all
times that Software is under maintenance or rental. The remedies for
breach of this warranty are specified in Paragraph 11.4.
11.1.2 The Software and any media used to distribute it shall not, to the
knowledge of Horizon, contain at delivery any computer instructions,
circuitry or other technological means ("Harmful Code") whose purpose
or result is to disrupt, damage or interfere with Customer's use of its
computer and telecommunications facilities for their commercial, test
or research and development purposes.
11.1.3 The Software will be fully Operative on the Bondfire Platform as
described in Schedule D.
11.2 Horizon warrants that it has obtained and shall maintain the full power
and authority to grant the rights herein granted without the further
consent of any other person. The sole remedies for breach of this
warranty are specified in Paragraph 11.6
11.3 THE WARRANTIES IN PARAGRAPHS 11.1 AND 11.2 ARE LIMITED WARRANTIES AND
THEY ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY HORIZON. HORIZON DOES NOT MAKE AND
CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
THERE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE STATED EXPRESS WARRANTIES ARE IN
LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES, OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF HORIZON
FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH DELIVERY, USE, OR
PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE AND ALL OTHER ITEMS DELIVERABLE HEREUNDER
AND SERVICES, INCLUDING MAINTENANCE SERVICES, PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
11.4 REMEDY FOR INOPERATIVE SOFTWARE.
11.4.1 Horizon shall during the Warranty Period and thereafter, at its own
expense, remedy or devise a suitable work-around to correct, as soon as
reasonably possible, errors reported by Customer in the Software and to
render the Software Operative, provided that Horizon may correct errors
which do not have a material adverse effect on Customer's productive
use of the Software in the next Update, version or release of the
Software Horizon makes generally available to its customers. This
remedy is contingent upon Customer's advising Horizon in writing of
such errors in sufficient detail to enable Horizon to reproduce the
error and certify its remedy or provision of a suitable work-around.
Complying with the terms of this paragraph shall be deemed material
with regard to termination rights in provision 13.1.
11.4.2 Any software furnished under this Agreement identified as third party
software is furnished on an AS-IS basis, without warranty either
express or implied, but Horizon will pass through any available
warranties and indemnities from the third party proprietor. Horizon
will inform Customer in writing of any such third-party software and
provide Customer the opportunity to acquire such software itself.
Horizon shall specify any such third-party software on Schedule D:
Bondfire Platform Hardware & Environment and Customer shall receive
thirty (30) days advance notice of installation of such third party
software.
11.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
11.5.1 Horizon and Customer each hereby indemnifies the other from any claim
or damages due to the injury or death of any individual, or the
physical loss or damage to material real or personal property,
resulting
5
from the willful or negligent acts or omissions of the indemnifying
party, its agents or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
party excludes any indemnification for lost or damage to any data or
software under this provision.
11.5.2 NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST
PROFITS, EVEN IF THE PARTIES HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES, EXCEPT (A) AS TO PAYMENTS REQUIRED UNDER THE SECTION OF THIS
AGREEMENT ENTITLED PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY AND (B) AS TO LOST
PROFITS AND SIMILAR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM BREACH OF
CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE SOFTWARE
AND PROTECTION OF HORIZON'S PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN THE SOFTWARE.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, HORIZON AND CUSTOMER'S
LIABILITY TO EACH OTHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE
AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO HORIZON UNDER THE AGREEMENT.
11.6 INDEMNITY. Subject to the terms an conditions herein, Horizon will, at
its own expense, defend and indemnify and hold Customer harmless
against any money judgment awarded against Customer in any claim or
action brought against Customer by third parties alleging that the
Software infringes any U.S. patent, or any copyright, trademark, trade
secret or other proprietary right of any third party, provided that
Horizon is promptly notified in writing of such claim or action and
provided that Customer (i) promptly notifies Horizon in writing of such
claim or action , (ii) reasonably cooperates in the defense and all
related settlement negotiations, and (iii) agrees that Horizon shall
have sole control over the litigation or settlement of such claim.
Customer acknowledges that Horizon shall have no indemnification
obligations in the event that: (i) Customer has modified the Software
after receipt form Horizon without prior authorization, (ii) Customer
combines the Software with other hardware, software or other systems in
such manner as to prompt the third party action, and (iii) Customer
uses the Software in a manner not expressly contemplated by the
documentation accompanying the product. If Horizon or Customer is
enjoined from using the Software or if Horizon believes that the
Software is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement,
Horizon may, at its option and expense, (1) procure the right for
Customer to continue to use the Software or replace and modify the
Software to make it non-infringing, or, (2) terminate the Rental
License or Paid-Up License, as the case may be, and require return of
the Software and for Software for which Customer has acquired a Paid-Up
License, pay the Customer a refund of the Paid-Up License Fee less a
pro rata amount equal to one sixtieth (1/60) of the Paid-Up License Fee
for every full month following Customer's acceptance of the Software.
The indemnities of this section shall not apply to any claim of
infringement by or resulting from Customer-supplied elements even if
present in the Software, nor from Customer's modification of the
Software, nor to the inclusion or incorporation of the Software with
software not provided by Horizon nor to the use of the Software in a
manner for which the Software is not designed if such claim would not
have arisen without such modification, inclusion or incorporation. The
remedies of this Paragraph are the exclusive remedies for infringement.
12 REMEDIES.
12.1 BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party recognizes that if the other
party breaches any of its obligations to safeguard the confidentiality
of the Confidential Information, monetary damages would not adequately
compensate the other party for the resulting potential injury to the
other party's business. Each party therefore agrees that the other
party shall have the right to injunctive relief. Each party will
vigorously enforce against any employee or consultant (receiving access
to the Confidential Information) any violation of the confidentiality
of the Confidential Information or, with respect to the Software,
Horizon's Intellectual Property rights in the Software.
12.2 NON-PAYMENT. If Customer fails to make any payment as called for by
this Agreement and does not cure such failure within 30 days after
written notice of non-payment from Horizon, then Horizon may terminate
this Agreement
6
and the License without further notice. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to require Horizon to provide software or services if
Customer is delinquent in its payment obligations.
12.3 Horizon recognizes that if Horizon breaches any of its obligations to
safeguard the confidentiality of Customer's client list, monetary
damages would not adequately compensate Customer for the resulting
potential injury to Customer's business. Horizon therefore agrees that
Customer shall have the right to injunctive relief. Horizon will
vigorously enforce against any employee or consultant (receiving access
to the Customer's client list through Horizon) any violation of the
confidentiality of Customer's client list.
13 TERM AND TERMINATION.
13.1 This Agreement is effective from the Effective Date and shall remain in
force until terminated. Customer may terminate the License at any time
by destroying the Software together with all copies, modifications, and
merged portions in any form. This Agreement will also terminate upon
conditions set forth elsewhere, or either party may terminate this
Agreement and the License if the other party fails to comply with any
material term or condition of this Agreement, subject to Section 15.5
entitled Survival, after receiving written notice of the failure and a
reasonable time not to exceed 30 days in which to cure such failure.
Customer agrees upon any termination of this Agreement or the License
to destroy the Software together with all copies, modifications, and
merged portions in any form and to send Horizon prompt written

substantially all of the assets of Horizon to any person other than an
Affiliate of Horizon or Sunrise Financial Systems, L.P. or (ii) a
merger, consolidation, or other transaction which results in any person
other than an Affiliate of Horizon or Sunrise Financial Systems, L.P.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of Horizon or the entity

transaction, a "Change in Control"), Horizon shall pay to Customer an

duly executed by both parties.
15.2 FORCE MAJEURE. No failure, delay or default in performance of any
obligation of a party to this Agreement shall constitute an event of

that is beyond the control and without negligence of the party
otherwise chargeable with failure, delay or default.
15.3 CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement and performance hereunder shall be
governed by the internal laws and not the laws governing conflicts of

party's property be subject to any levy, seizure, assignment,
application or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency, the
other party may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part. The party
seeking to terminate this Agreement shall give the other party written

7
foregoing claimed to be a basis for termination, and the Agreement
shall terminate 30 days after receipt of the notice if the party
receiving the notice has then failed to correct or remedy the

governmental agency, or a receiver should be appointed for Horizon,
Customer shall continue to have a right and license to use, reproduce,
modify, enhance and produce derivative works for their own use for any
purpose permitted under this Agreement from any Software licensed to
Customer hereunder, provided that Customer shall have no greater rights
in the Software after occurrence of any such event than before, and
provided further that all applicable confidentiality and nondisclosure
provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
and provided further that the Customer shall not be late in any
payments due pursuant to this Agreement.
15.5.3 All provisions of this Agreement, which by their nature must survive
termination in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of this
Agreement, the preceding paragraph and the provisions of the Sections
entitled Indemnity, Title to Software and Confidentiality, Warranty and
Limitation of Liability shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
15.6 NO WAIVER. The wavier or failure of either party hereto to exercise in
any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver
of any further right hereunder.

or substantially all of Horizon's business. Customer may assign this
Agreement in its entirety to an Affiliate, provided that such assignee
is able to and does fulfill the obligations of the assignor.
