XMS Service and each component thereof have been and will be tested
and are and will be fully capable of providing accurate results using
data having date ranges spanning the twentieth (20th) and

limiting the generality of the foregoing, Concur represents and
warrants to AMEX that the Co-Branded XMS Service and each component
thereof shall (a) manage and manipulate data involving all dates from
the 20th and 21st centuries without functional or data abnormality
related to such dates; (b) manage and manipulate data involving all
dates from the 20th and 21st centuries without inaccurate results
related to such dates; (c) have user interfaces and data fields
formatted to distinguish between dates from the 20th and 21st
centuries; and (d) represent all data related to include indications
of the millennium, century and decade as well as the actual year.
The exclusive remedy of AMEX and the entire liability of Concur, for
breach of this Section shall be a right of indemnification under
Section 12 for its direct damages arising out of AXP/XMS Customers
claims, suits or proceedings related to such breach.
10.5 AXP/XMS Customer Warranty. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE AXP/XMS SERVICE
AGREEMENT OR EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, CONCUR
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
WITH RESPECT TO THE CO-BRANDED XMS SERVICE.
11. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
11.1 Proprietary Information. The Parties intend to disclose and exchange
confidential, proprietary and trade secret, technical information,
technical and business plans, proposed products and marketing and
sales reports regarding their businesses and, (i) in the case of
Concur, internal processes related to the operation of the Co-Branded
XMS Service, the [*] and [*] and (ii) in the case of AMEX,
information provided by AMEX with respect to internal AMEX processes
and [*] (the "Proprietary Information"). Information with respect to
AXP/XMS Customers contained in the AXP/XMS Service Agreement shall be
deemed Proprietary Information of AMEX.
11.2 Obligation of Confidentiality. Each Party shall protect and keep
confidential any and all Proprietary Information of the other Party
embodied in any information disclosed
[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.
16
17
hereunder and shall not use, disclose or allow any third party access
to any such Proprietary Information, except to support or perform its
obligations under this Agreement. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Party agrees to maintain the strict
confidentiality of any source code delivered by the other Party.
Furthermore, with respect to Proprietary Information that relates to
any AMEX Client, Concur agrees to comply, and cause its third party
contractor to comply, with the AMEX security principles attached
hereto as Exhibit E.
11.3 Limited Access. Each Party shall use its best efforts to ensure that
only employees and third parties whose duties give them a need to
know such Proprietary Information of the other Party shall have
access thereto. All such persons and entities shall be obligated to
treat the same as proprietary and confidential and the receiving
Party shall take such other measures to protect the confidentiality
of such Proprietary Information. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Party shall require any third party to whom it
discloses any Proprietary Information to sign a confidentiality
agreement, enforceable by the other Party, whereby such third party
agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in
Section 11.2.
11.4 Required Disclosure. If a Party or any of its employees, shall be
under a legal obligation in any administrative, governmental or
judicial circumstance involuntarily to disclose any Proprietary
Information of the other Party, it shall give the Party that owns
such Proprietary Information (the "Disclosing Party") prompt notice
thereof so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate
protective order. If the Disclosing Party is finally unsuccessful in
obtaining such protective order and if the Party receiving such
Proprietary Information (the "Receiving Party") or any such employee
would, in the opinion of its counsel, be held in contempt or suffer
other censure or penalty for failure to disclose, disclosure pursuant
to the order or decree of an administrative, governmental or judicial
authority with jurisdiction over such Party may be made by the
Receiving Party or its employees without liability hereunder.
11.5 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party
shall be liable to the other with regard to any disclosure of
Proprietary Information of the other Party which:
(a) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the
time of disclosure, as shown by the files of the Receiving Party
in existence at the time of disclosure;
(b) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing
Party;
(c) was independently developed by the Receiving Party, without any
use of the Proprietary Information and without the assistance of
any employee or other agents of (or independent contractors
hired by) the Receiving Party who have been exposed to such
Proprietary Information;
17
18
(d) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from
a source who obtained such information other than through the
breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or the breach of
any confidential or fiduciary obligations to the Disclosing
Party; or
(e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to law or in accordance
with judicial or other governmental order.
11.6 Remedies. The Parties agree that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 11 by Receiving
Party and the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, in addition to
money damages, to specific performance and injunctive relief and any
other appropriate equitable remedies for any such breach. Such
remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a
breach of this Section 11 by Receiving Party but shall be in addition
to all other remedies available at law or in equity to Disclosing
Party. If a court or other authority determines that a Party has
materially breached its obligations under this Section 11, the other
Party will be entitled to payment of its legal fees and
disbursements, court costs and other expenses of enforcing, defending
or otherwise protecting its interests hereunder.
11.7 Survival. The obligations of confidentiality and limitations of use,
disclosure and access set forth herein shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
12.1 By Concur. Concur agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AMEX
and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (collectively, the "AMEX Group"), from and
against any and all claims, suits, losses, damages and liabilities
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) arising out of or
resulting from
(a) any third party claim, suit or proceeding and any settlement
thereof (including reasonable fees of attorneys and related
costs), to the extent based on a claim that the Co-Branded XMS
Service or Concur infringes the patent, copyright, trademark,
trade secret or other proprietary right of a third party;

(d) the failure of Concur (including without limitation its Agents

applicable to Concur, its Agent or the Co-Branded XMS Service,
as the case may be.

12.2 By AMEX. AMEX agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Concur
and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, suits,
losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees
and expenses) arising out of or resulting from
(a) any third party claim, suit or proceeding and any settlement
thereof (including reasonable fees of attorneys and related
costs), to the extent based on a claim that AMEX's intellectual
property incorporated into the Co-Branded XMS Service or the
marketing thereof infringes the patent, copyright, trademark,
trade secret or other proprietary right of a third party,
(b) the intentional or negligent act or omission of AMEX or its

Agreement;

12.3 Indemnification Procedure. If any action shall be brought against
either Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the
other Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 ("Claim"),
the indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party in
writing, specifying the nature of the Claim, the total monetary
amount sought, as well as such relief as is sought therein. The
indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party at the
indemnifying Party's expense in all reasonable respects in connection
with the defense of the Claim if by a third party. If the Claim from
a third party is solely for monetary damages or a claim of
infringement, the indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to
the indemnified Party, undertake the defense or settlement of the
Claim; in all other instances, the indemnified Party, upon written
notice to the indemnifying Party, may undertake the defense or
settlement of the Claim. In the event the indemnified Party
undertakes the defense or settlement of the Claim, the indemnifying
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own
expense and participate in the defense of the Claim. The indemnifying
Party shall reimburse the indemnified Party upon demand the judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a bona fide
compromise or settlement of claims, demands or actions and shall
reimburse the indemnified Party upon demand for any payments of
attorney's fees and related expenses made by the indemnified Party. A
Party's failure to give timely notice or to provide copies of
documents or to furnish relevant data in connection with any claim
for indemnification shall not constitute a defense (in part or in
whole) to any claim for indemnification for such Party, except and
only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice
19
20
to the indemnifying Party; provided, that any such compromise or
settlement must be approved by the indemnifying Party and any such
compromise or settlement must be approved by the indemnified Party,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
Proposal for Exclusive Integration Features
================================================================================
OBJECTIVE:
AMEX and Concur wish to provide AXP/XMS Customers with a set of exclusive
features (identified in the body of this Agreement as the "Exclusive Features")
for the Co-Branded XMS Service which will enhance the relationship, provide
competitive advantage for the RTS value proposition, and position the joint
offering as the market leading solution.
APPROACH:
- This document proposes "rolling exclusivity" for these features, i.e.
available only to AMEX Clients for a specific period of time described
in the Agreement following general release. This document proposes the
first set of features governed by rolling exclusivity. The feature set
was developed jointly by AMEX and Concur.
- [*]
- The proposal follows the guiding principle to implement exclusive
features; neither party will remove functionality that is currently
available.
- The proposal addresses product integration between Concur and AMEX
products and services. It does not recommend integrating efforts for
the business relationship (e.g. implementation, pricing, resource
sharing).
- This draft includes a matrix of proposed features. Potential
availability of features, impact on the current feature integration
plans, and requirements, which are external to Concur, have not yet
been identified.

Account or new BTA with a Potential Client which conforms with the conditions
set forth below (a "Qualified Lead"), AMEX agrees to pay Concur a [*] in
accordance with the terms set forth below.
