a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, right and license (and, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.2, below, with the right to
sublicense, and authorize sublicensees to sublicense further and with
the right to transfer this license as set forth in Section 11.8) to

3. DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE AND OWNERSHIP
3.1. Delivery. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Paradigm
--------
shall deliver to Evolve golden master disks and other materials
containing the then-current version of the Licensed Software for the
Supported Systems. Until the Royalty Cap (as defined in Exhibit A) is
reached, Paradigm shall deliver to Evolve a golden master disk and
other materials containing the most recent Enhancements to the
Licensed Software for the Supported Systems as soon as
2
practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days after Paradigm has
made such Enhancements generally commercially available. The other
Deliverables (as defined in Section 3.2, below) required by this
Agreement shall be delivered by Paradigm as required hereunder, as
agreed by the parties or, if not specified or agreed to, on a
commercially reasonable timeframe. Any such Deliverables shall be
subject to Acceptance as set forth in Section 3.2 and the provisions
regarding ownership in Sections 3.3 and 3.4.
3.2. Acceptance. Except for Acceptance of the Licensed Software by
----------
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx as set forth in Exhibit A, Evolve shall have an
"Acceptance Period" of thirty (30) days after delivery to test and
otherwise evaluate the Licensed Software, or any other deliverable
required by this Agreement (each, a "Deliverable") to determine
whether the Deliverable conforms to the Documentation or to the
specifications for the Deliverable otherwise provided to Paradigm by
Evolve and as agreed to by Paradigm in its reasonable, good faith
technical and/or business judgment taking into account the intent of
the parties hereunder to work together to meet functional requirements
of licensees and sublicenses of the Licensed Software
("Specifications"). In the event the Deliverable does not conform to
the Specifications, Evolve shall notify Paradigm of such non-
conformance during the Acceptance Period, and Paradigm shall redeliver
the corrected Deliverable as soon as commercially practicable, but in
any event no later than thirty (30) days after the date Evolve
provided Paradigm with notice of non-conformance of the Deliverable.
Unless such non-conformance notice is given, the Deliverable will be
deemed Accepted by Evolve at the end of the Acceptance Period and any
amounts that may be due for such Deliverable shall be immediately due
and payable. In the event that such non-conformance notice is given,
and Paradigm does not redeliver the Deliverable within the time frame
set forth in the preceding sentence or the Deliverable continues not
to conform to the Specifications, Evolve may request Paradigm to
correct and redeliver the Deliverable in accordance with the procedure
set forth above until the Deliverable conforms to the Specifications,
or Evolve may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and/or
withhold payment of any and all monies that may be owed to Paradigm
for such Deliverable under this Agreement until such time as Evolve
accepts such Deliverable; provided, however, that Evolve's election of
-----------------
its right to withhold the payment of monies owed Evolve for such
Deliverable as provided herein shall not constitute a waiver of
Evolve's right to later terminate this Agreement until such time as
Evolve accepts such Deliverable. In the event Evolve elects to
withhold payment of such monies for such Deliverable, Paradigm's
obligations hereunder shall continue unabated during such period;
provided, however, that Evolve shall be obligated to make any withheld
-----------------
payments promptly upon Acceptance of such Deliverable.
3.3. Ownership of Evolve Developments. Any products, including derivative
--------------------------------
versions of the Licensed Software, developed by Evolve during the term
of this Agreement ("Evolve Developments") shall be wholly owned by
Evolve. All right, title and interest in and to the Evolve
Developments (including software and intermediate versions thereof),
routines and subroutines, in both source code and object code
versions, formulae, development notes, flow charts, outlines, work
papers and manuals and other materials created as part of, or in
connection with, the Deliverables which do not constitute Paradigm
Developments pursuant to 3.4 below, and all patents, copyright rights
(including without limitation, the right to create derivative works),
trade secrets and all other intellectual property rights in or
pertaining to the Evolve Developments, shall belong exclusively to and
vest in Evolve; provided, however, that interface components to major
-----------------
accounting systems developed by Evolve with the assistance of
Paradigm, will be licensed to Paradigm on a perpetual royalty free
basis. Interface components to major accounting systems developed by
Evolve without the assistance of Paradigm will be
3
licensed to Paradigm on a "reverse royalty" basis, pursuant to a
separate binding agreement to be executed by the parties.
3.4 Ownership of Paradigm Developments. The Licensed Software and all
----------------------------------
Deliverables hereunder, including derivative versions of Licensed
Software, developed by Paradigm prior to or during the term of this
Agreement ("Paradigm Developments"), except for Integration
Deliverables (defined in Section 4.2, below) shall be wholly owned by
Paradigm, subject only to the license rights to such Paradigm
Developments granted to Evolve pursuant to this Agreement. All right,
title and interest in and to the Paradigm Developments (including
software and intermediate versions thereof), routines and subroutines,
in both source code and object code versions, formulae, development
notes, flow charts, outlines, work papers and manuals, and all
patents, copyright rights (including without limitation, the right to
create derivative works), trade secrets and all other intellectual
property rights in or pertaining to the Paradigm Developments, shall
belong exclusively to and vest in Paradigm, subject only to the
license rights granted to Evolve pursuant to this Agreement.
4. OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF PARADIGM
4.1. Staffing; Knowledge Transfer. As specified in Exhibit A, Paradigm
----------------------------
shall provide the qualified personnel, who have knowledge of and
experience with implementation and support of the Licensed Software;
provided, however, that the allocation of personnel set forth therein
-----------------
is not intended and shall not be construed to limit Paradigm's
obligation to provide the personnel and resources necessary and
appropriate to fulfill its obligations and provide the services and
Deliverables required of it under the terms of this Agreement; and
further provided, that in the event that any of the personnel listed
in Exhibit A cease to be employed by Paradigm, Paradigm shall have the
right to substitute suitable replacement personnel of Paradigm's
choosing, but subject to Evolve's consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
4.2. Integration. Paradigm shall assist Evolve in the integration of the
-----------
Licensed Software into the Integrated Offering. All right, title and
interest in and to the software (including intermediate versions
thereof), routines and subroutines, in both source code and object
code versions, formulae, development notes, flow charts, outlines,
work papers, manuals and other materials created in connection with
the integration work, and all patents, copyright rights (including
without limitation, the right to create derivative works), trade
secrets and all other intellectual property rights in or pertaining to
the foregoing, except for the Licensed Software (collectively, the
"Integration Deliverables"), shall belong exclusively to and vest in
Evolve.
4.3. Obligation to Provide Support. Paradigm shall supply to Evolve the
-----------------------------
Support and Maintenance services set forth in Exhibit B. Paradigm
shall continue to support the Licensed Software on the following
hardware and software systems (the "Supported Systems"): Intel
Pentium- and Pentium II-based PCs and servers; Microsoft Windows NT
(server and client); Microsoft SQL Server Database; Microsoft IIS WEB
Server; Crystal Report Server; Symantec Visual Cafe (Java compiler);
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer (browsers), but
only for so long as Evolve continues to pay any Royalties to Paradigm
pursuant to this Agreement. If necessary to assure compatibility with
any new version or release of the Supported Systems, Paradigm shall
deliver to Evolve a new version or release of the Licensed Software
that is compatible with such new version or release of Supported
Systems as soon as it is reasonably
4
commercially practicable for Paradigm to do so after a new version or
release of the Supported Systems becomes generally commercially
available.
5. ROYALTIES AND PAYMENT
5.1. Royalties; Referral Fees. Evolve shall pay to Paradigm a royalty in
------------------------
United States dollars on each sublicense or license of Licensed
Software from Evolve, as set forth in Exhibit A ("Royalties"). Upon
Evolve's payment in full of its total Royalties obligations pursuant
to this Agreement, the license granted to Evolve by Paradigm in
Section 2.1 shall be fully paid and non-assessable without Evolve
having any further obligation to pay Royalties to Paradigm. In such
event, Paradigm's obligations under this Agreement shall cease, except
for any Support and Maintenance services purchased by Evolve. Subject
to Paradigm's right to cure as set forth in Section 10.2(i) below, the
failure of Paradigm to provide the Enhancements to, and/or any Support
and Maintenance services purchased by, Evolve as required by this
Agreement will release Evolve from any obligation to pay Royalties
commencing on the due date for any such Enhancement and/or such
Support and Maintenance until such time as such Enhancements and/or
Support and Maintenance are provided by Paradigm (a "Breach Period");
provided, however, that in the event that Paradigm fails to cure any
-----------------
breach of its obligations to provide Enhancements and/or Support and
Maintenance within thirty (30) days of written notice from Evolve as
provided by Section 10.2(i) below, then the Royalty Cap (as defined in
Exhibit A) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any
Royalties accrued during any such Breach Period. In addition, Evolve
will pay Paradigm a fee of ten percent (10%) (the "Referral Fee") of
the license fees from the license of an Evolve Product by a qualified
and approved customer referred to Evolve by Paradigm, who had not been
previously contacted by Evolve (as demonstrated by Evolve's written
records).
5.2. Royalty Statements. Evolve shall render to Paradigm quarterly
------------------
statements of account for net sales and Royalties and Referral Fees
due to Paradigm within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar
quarter and Evolve agrees to accompany such statements with checks in
payment of the amount of Royalties and Referral Fees due therein.
5.3. Audit Rights. Upon fifteen (15) days written notice, Paradigm may
------------
cause to be examined through an independent certified public
accountant, lawyer or other representative the books of account of
Evolve insofar as they relate to the sale or the licensing of
Integrated Offerings at Paradigm's own expense unless errors amounting
to five percent (5%) or more of the total sums earned by Paradigm
pursuant to this Agreement shall be found to Paradigm's disadvantage,
in which case the cost shall be borne by Evolve. In the event that the
audit discloses any underpayment of amounts which should have been
paid to Paradigm, such amounts due (including, if applicable,
reimbursement for the cost of the audit) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days thereafter. Audits shall occur no more than once a year
during the normal business hours of Evolve. Evolve shall not be
required to retain supporting records for a period of more than five
(5) years after the rendering of any statement.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1. Confidential Information. Evolve and Paradigm hereby establish these
-------------------------
terms and conditions governing the use, nondisclosure, and protection
of confidential information ("Confidential Information") that one
party (the "Disclosing Party") provides or discloses to the other
party (the "Receiving Party") pursuant to this Agreement.
5
6.2. Designation. Receiving Party shall have a duty to protect only that
------------
Confidential Information which: (i) is first disclosed by Disclosing
Party in tangible form and is marked as "Confidential" (or with a
similar designation) at the time of disclosure, including, without
limitation, the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement; or
(ii) if disclosed by Disclosing Party in non-tangible form, is orally
identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or would be
reasonably expected to be confidential under the circumstances and due
top the nature of the information provided.
6.3. Limitations on Use and Disclosure. Receiving Party shall use
----------------------------------
Confidential Information received from Disclosing Party hereunder only
for the purpose of exercising its rights and fulfilling its
obligations under this Agreement, shall not disclose such Confidential
Information to third parties and shall protect and safeguard such
Confidential Information against disclosure with the same degree of
care as Receiving Party's own Confidential Information. Receiving
Party shall disclose Confidential Information received from Disclosing
Party to employees or consultants only if such personnel have a
legitimate need to know such information and are bound in writing by
confidentiality obligations not materially less restrictive than those
set forth herein. Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care
and discretion (but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of
care and discretion) to avoid unauthorized disclosure or use of
Confidential Information received from Disclosing Party hereunder as
Receiving Party uses to protect its own information of a similar
nature from unauthorized disclosure or use.
6.4. Exclusions. Without granting any right or license, the parties agree
-----------
that no obligation of nondisclosure or nonuse hereunder shall apply to
any information (i) that Receiving Party already possesses at the time
of the disclosure by Disclosing Party or rightfully receives from a
third party, (ii) that Receiving Party develops independently, (iii)
that is or becomes generally available to the public other than by
breach of this Agreement, or (iv) that Disclosing Party provides or
has provided to any third party without similar restrictions.
Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information received from
Disclosing Party to the extent that Receiving Party is required by any
government authority to disclose such information, provided that
Receiving Party gives Disclosing Party prompt notice of such
requirement and reasonably cooperates with Disclosing Party in
attempting to limit such required disclosure.
6.5. Equitable Relief. Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that, due to
-----------------
the unique nature of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information,
there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of Receiving
Party's confidentiality obligations hereunder, that any such breach
may result in irreparable harm to Disclosing Party, and that
therefore, upon any such breach or threat thereof, Disclosing Party
shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including without
limitation injunctive relief, in addition to whatever remedies it
might have at law.
6.6. Duration and Return of Documents and Code. Receiving Party's
------------------------------------------
obligations hereunder with respect to any particular item of
Confidential Information received hereunder shall survive any
termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon request of
Disclosing Party following termination or expiration of this
Agreement, Receiving Party will return all documents and code
containing Confidential Information that were given to it by
Disclosing Party.

applicable to such services; provided, however, that where this
-------- -------
Agreement specifies a particular standard or criteria for performance,
this warranty is not intended to and does not diminish that standard
or criteria for performance.
7.4 Supported Systems Warranty. Paradigm represents and warrants that the
--------------------------
Licensed Software, including any Enhancements thereto, will operate on
the then-current version of the Supported Systems as of the effective
date of this Agreement, and that Paradigm will not incorporate
proprietary solutions or architecture in the Licensed Software or
future Enhancements that would prevent the Licensed Software from
operating on the Supported Systems. Upon Evolve's written consent
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Paradigm shall
not be required to continue to support the Licensed Software or
Enhancements thereto on Supported Systems (i) which are deemed to be
"out of date" or not generally supported in the industry if there is a
commercially viable alternative or no alternative is reasonably
necessary, or (ii) for more than six (6) months after the introduction
of a new version of a Supported System, provided that Paradigm
supports the then-current version of the Supported System by the time
which support is withdrawn for the immediately preceding version of
the Supported System.
7.5 Disabling Code Warranty. Paradigm represents and warrants that the
-----------------------
Licensed Software does not contain and will not receive from any
Paradigm data transmission via modem or other Paradigm medium, any
virus, worm, trap door, back door, timer, clock, counter or other
limiting routine, instruction or design that would erase data or
programming or otherwise cause the Licensed Software, and any Evolve
Product working with the Licensed Software as part of an Integrated
Offering, to become inoperable or incapable of being used in the full
manner for which it was designed and created (a "Disabling Code")
including, without limitation, any limitations that are triggered by:
(a) the Licensed Software being used or copied a certain number of
times, or after the lapse of a certain period of time; (b) the
Licensed Software being installed on or moved to a central processing
unit or system that has a serial number, model number or other
identification different from the central processing unit or system on
which the Licensed Software were originally installed; or (c) the
occurrence or lapse of any similar triggering factor or event. In the
event Paradigm introduces any Disabling Codes in the Licensed
Software, Paradigm shall: (w) take all steps necessary at Paradigm's
sole cost to test a new copy of the Licensed Software for
7
the presence of Disabling Codes; (x) furnish to Evolve a new copy of
the Licensed Software without the presence of Disabling Codes, (y)
install and implement such new copy of the Licensed Software at no
additional cost to Evolve; and (z) take all steps necessary, at
Paradigm's sole cost, to restore any and all data or programming lost
by Evolve as a result of such Disabling Code.
7.6 Special Millennium Warranty. Paradigm represents and warrants that, as
---------------------------
of the Effective Date and thereafter, the Licensed Software can and
will be able accurately to: (a) process consistently any date-data,
date-rollover event or date-data calculations that can be expected of
the Licensed Software if used for its authorized purposes, with no
adverse impact on the functionality of the Licensed Software
including, without limitation, the producing of errors, invalid
results, abnormal interruption or termination; (b) accept, process,
return and display date-data and perform date-data calculations
including, without limitation, computations, comparisons, sequencing,
sorts and extracts, in a consistent manner regardless of the dates
used in such date-data whether before, on, during or after January 1,
2000; (c) exchange date-data and related information with other
hardware, firmware or software with which it interacts, provided that
the interacting hardware, firmware or software is itself capable of
exchanging accurate date-data with ambiguous two-digit year-date input
and otherwise properly exchange date data with it; (d) accept and
respond to two-digit year-date input in a defined, predetermined and
appropriate manner; and (e) store and display date-data in ways that
are unambiguous as to the determination of the century. For purposes
of the foregoing: (f) "date-data" is defined as any data, formula,
algorithm, process, input or output, that includes, calculates or
represents a date, day or time, a reference to a date, day or time, or
a representation of a date, day or time; and (g) a "date-rollover
event" is defined as any transition between one date and the following
date including, without limitation, any time, date, day-of-the-week,
month and year progressions and any regularly scheduled leap events.
The foregoing warranty shall expire on March 31, 2001 with respect to
the version of the Licensed Software delivered upon execution of this
Agreement and any Enhancement or other Deliverable delivered prior to
October 1, 2000, and shall expire one hundred and eighty (180) days
following the delivery of any Enhancement or other Deliverable
thereafter.
7.7 Intellectual Property Warranty. Paradigm represents and warrants that
------------------------------
it has the right and power to grant the Program Licenses, including
license to Ancillary Programs and other third-party software, granted
to Evolve hereunder, that it is not aware of any infringement of any
patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right
of any third party by the Licensed Software or Documentation, that the
Licensed Software are free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances or demands of third parties, and that there is currently
no actual or threatened suit against Paradigm by any such third party
based on an alleged violation of such right.
7.8 Warranty of Authority. Paradigm and Evolve each represent and warrant
---------------------
that they have the right to enter into this Agreement and that there
are no outstanding assignments, grants, licenses, encumbrances,
obligations, or agreements which relate to the Licensed Software or
either party's obligations hereunder (whether written, oral or
implied) that are inconsistent with this Agreement and the rights
granted herein.
7.9 Pending Litigation. Paradigm represents and warrants that there is no
------------------
action, suit, proceeding claim or investigation pending, or to the
best of Paradigm's knowledge, threatened against, by or affecting
Paradigm or the Licensed Software in any court, or by or before any
federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or
8
instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or before any arbitrator of any
kind which, if adversely determined, would adversely affect the
Licensed Software or restrict Paradigm's ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or continue its obligations
hereunder. Paradigm knows of no basis for any such action, suit,
claim, investigation or proceeding. Evolve represents and warrants
that there is no action, suit, proceeding claim or investigation
pending, or to the best of Evolve's knowledge, threatened against, by
or affecting Evolve in any court, or by or before any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or before any
arbitrator of any kind which, if adversely determined, would adversely
restrict Evolve's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or continue its obligations hereunder. Evolve knows of no basis
for any such action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding.
7.10 Warranty of Cooperation. Paradigm acknowledges that Evolve is working
-----------------------
with a number of third parties in developing, maintaining and
supporting the Integrated Offering. Having acknowledged the foregoing,
Paradigm agrees that it will cooperate with all such third party
and/or ancillary system providers as necessary and as requested by
Evolve.
7.11 No Material Misstatements or Omissions. No representation or warranty
--------------------------------------
by Paradigm or Evolve that is contained in this Agreement or in any
Exhibit attached hereto contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements and facts contained herein or therein not materially
misleading.
8. INDEMNITY
8.1. Indemnity Obligation of Paradigm. Paradigm will indemnify, defend, and
--------------------------------
hold harmless Evolve against any action or claim brought against
Evolve (or any Evolve reseller, distributor, or end user) to the
extent that it is based upon a claim that the Licensed Software, as
provided by Paradigm to Evolve under this Agreement and used within
the scope of this Agreement, infringes any patent rights, copyright
rights, or other intellectual property rights, or incorporates any
misappropriated trade secrets (an "Infringement Claim"). Paradigm will
pay any liabilities, costs, damages, or expenses, including attorneys'
fees, attributable to such Infringement Claim that are awarded against
Evolve (or any Evolve reseller, distributor, or end user) in a
judgment or settlement approved in advance by Paradigm, provided that
Evolve: (i) promptly notifies Paradigm in writing of the Infringement
Claim; (ii) grants Paradigm sole control of the defense and settlement
of the Infringement Claim; and (iii) provides Paradigm with all
assistance, information, and authority required for the defense and
settlement of the Infringement Claim. Evolve may retain its own
counsel, at Evolve's own expense, to monitor the defense and
settlement of the Infringement Claim.
8.2. Additional Remedies. Without limiting Paradigm obligations under the
-------------------
foregoing Section 8.1, if Evolve's use of any of the Licensed Software
hereunder becomes subject to an Infringement Claim, or in Paradigm's
opinion is likely to become subject to an Infringement Claim, Paradigm
shall, at its sole option and expense, make commercially reasonable
efforts to either: (i) procure for Evolve the right to continue using
such Licensed Software under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii)
replace or modify such Licensed Software so that it is non-infringing;
provided, however, that any such efforts shall not substantially
-------- -------
diminish the functionality of the Licensed Software. If neither of the
two options described above is commercially reasonable, then Paradigm
shall accept the return of the portion of the Licensed Software
subject to the Infringement Claim and (i) refund to Evolve a pro rata
portion of the Royalties received for
9
such returned portion of the Licensed Software based on a seven (7)
year straight line depreciation method from the date of payment of
such Royalties to be refunded, and (ii) reduce the Royalty Cap by such
pro rata rate, based on a percentage of any diminished functionality
resulting therefrom. The foregoing states Paradigm's sole obligation
and Evolve's sole remedy in the event of any Infringement Claim.
8.3 Indemnification Obligation of Evolve. Evolve will indemnify, defend,
------------------------------------
and hold harmless Paradigm against any action or claim brought against
Paradigm with respect to the Evolve Product or the Integrated Offering
(a "Product Claim"), except to the extent that it is based upon an
Infringement Claim covered by Section 8.1, above. Evolve will pay any
liabilities, costs, damages, or expenses, including attorneys' fees,
attributable to such Product Claim that are awarded against Paradigm
in a judgment or settlement approved in advance by Evolve, provided
that Paradigm: (i) promptly notifies Evolve in writing of the Product
Claim; (ii) grants Evolve sole control of the defense and settlement
of the Product Claim; and (iii) provides Evolve with all assistance,
information, and authority required for the defense and settlement of
the Product Claim. Paradigm may retain its own counsel, at Paradigm's
own expense, to monitor the defense and settlement of the Product
Claim.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9.1. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER
-----------------------
SECTION 8, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER ARISING
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
RIGHTS PROVIDED HEREUNDER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
LOST REVENUES, PROFITS, OR SAVINGS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, USE, OR DATA),
EVEN IF INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.
