(a) Indemnification by ONESOFT. Except to the extent ONESOFT has acted at
--------------------------
CLIENT's direction or in accordance with CLIENT's specifications, ONESOFT will
indemnify, defend and hold harmless CLIENT from all losses, liabilities,
judgments, awards and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from
a third party claim against CLIENT based on an actual or alleged:
(i) Failure by ONESOFT to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(ii) Breach of ONESOFT's representations and warranties;
(iii) Acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct,
committed by ONESOFT,

CLIENT's improper use of ONESOFT's products or services or other
deliverables under this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification by CLIENT. CLIENT will indemnify, defend and hold harmless
-------------------------
ONESOFT from all losses, liabilities, judgments, awards and costs (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from a third party claim against ONESOFT
based on an actual or alleged:
(i) Failure by the CLIENT to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(ii) Breach of CLIENT's representations and warranties;
(iii) Acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct,

---------------
or is made, the party against whom the claim is made (hereinafter referred to as
the "Indemnitee") will promptly provide the other party (hereinafter referred to
as the "Indemnitor") with notice of such claim. If a claim for infringement is
made, ONESOFT may elect to avoid the infringement by:
(i) Obtaining the necessary rights for the Indemnitee to continue to use
the data or software at issue; or
(ii) Modifying the data or software at issue at its expense.
16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
The parties acknowledge that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy if a
party breaches its obligations under Paragraphs 2(b) & (c), 9, 10 or 12, since
such breach will result in irreparable harm. The parties therefore agree that,
in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to
appropriate mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief against the breaching
party, in addition to any other remedies at law, in equity or under this
Agreement. A party substantially prevailing in an action for injunctive relief
in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its costs
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) from the other party.
17. TERMINATION
(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, either party may
terminate this Agreement or any Scope(s) of Work and/or Change Order(s) and/or
Product Addendum(s), and/or any related licenses granted hereunder or
thereunder, by giving the other party written notice to that effect, effective
on the date of receipt of such notice, if:
(i) The other party enters into liquidation, whether or not voluntarily,
or a receiver is appointed to all or any part of its assets, or the other
party becomes bankrupt or insolvent or enters into any arrangement with its
creditors, or takes or suffers any similar action in consequence of debt or
becomes unable to pay its debts as they fall due; or
(ii) The other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure
such breach to the non-breaching party's satisfaction within ********* days
of having received written notice of such breach.

(b) In the event that a party materially breaches this Agreement, the non-
breaching party may terminate this Agreement if the breaching party fails to
cure such breach within ********* days of having received written notice of such
breach.
(c) If a license granted by ONESOFT is properly terminated for any reason,
CLIENT shall, on the effective date of such termination, cease using any and all
of the subject matter of the license and CLIENT shall promptly deliver to
ONESOFT all copies of any and all of such subject matter and any related
documentation, or shall provide evidence, satisfactory to ONESOFT, that all such
copies have been destroyed.
18. FORCE MAJEURE AND ACTS OF GOD
A party shall be relieved from an obligation (other than the obligation to make
payments) while a cause outside the reasonable control of the party prevents the
performance of such obligation.
19. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; CONTENT
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making a party an agent of
the other party, and neither party shall have the power to bind the other party
or to contract in the name of, or create a liability against, the other party.
Neither party shall be responsible for the acts or defaults of the other party
or any of the other party's employees or agents. The parties are independent
contractors with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to establish a partnership, joint venture,
association or employment relationship between the parties. With respect to its
employees, a party shall remain responsible, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other party, for the withholding and payment of all Federal, state
and local personal income, wage, earnings, occupation, social security, worker's
compensation, unemployment, sickness and disability insurance taxes, payroll
levies or employee benefit obligations
(b) If a Scope of Work permits CLIENT to re-sell ONESOFT Services to end-users
then the provisions of this Paragraph 19(b) shall apply to such Services,
however, the CLIENT acknowledges that the Scope of Work still governs the
relationship between ONESOFT and the CLIENT. CLIENT's relationship with any
end-user of the Services that may be distributed by CLIENT shall be governed
solely by an end-user Agreement (made available to ONESOFT upon request) that
provides at least the same protections to ONESOFT as this Agreement and the
Scope of Work provides. Any warranty provided by ONESOFT shall be solely for the
benefit of CLIENT. In no event shall any end-user of CLIENT services be
considered a third party beneficiary of any ONESOFT warranty. CLIENT shall
indemnify and hold ONESOFT harmless from any end- user claim. The CLIENT is
responsible for ensuring that third party end- users of the Services do not
impose unexpected workloads on the Services.
(c) The parties acknowledge that the Internet is neither owned nor controlled by
any one entity and that a third party may gain access to ONESOFT. Electronic
mail and other transmissions passing through ONESOFT or over the Internet are
not secure, and ONESOFT cannot guarantee the security or privacy or any of the
information or communications passing through ONESOFT. ONESOFT agrees to provide
commercially reasonable security consistent with its business practices and
facilities, including (without limitation) access control software,
identification protection, logon passwords and physical site security. In no
event however, will ONESOFT be liable for any loss or damage caused by a breach
of security by a third-party. ONESOFT will not intentionally monitor or disclose
any private electronic communications, except to the extent necessary to
identify or resolve system problems or as otherwise permitted or required by
law. ONESOFT does, however, reserve the right to monitor transmissions, other
than private electronic communications, as necessary to provide the Service and
otherwise to protect the rights and property of ONESOFT. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ONESOFT does not assume any liability for any action or inaction with
respect to such communication or content posted or provided by an authorized or
unauthorized third party. ONESOFT is a distributor and not a publisher of
CLIENT's data or any other content provided by CLIENT or others (including end
users). Because communication of data and other content over the Internet occurs
in real time, ONESOFT cannot, and does not intend to, screen, police, edit, or
monitor communications and content. If ONESOFT is notified of any content that
allegedly violates its Client Guide, Email Authorized Use Policies, and/or is
otherwise unlawful, ONESOFT may investigate and remove or request the removal of
such content as it deems appropriate in good faith and in its sole discretion.
In no event will ONESOFT be liable for any loss or damage caused by a user's
reliance on any data or other content obtained through ONESOFT
20. FURTHER ASSURANCES
The parties agree to do all such things and to execute such further documents as
may reasonably be required to give full effect to this Agreement.
21. WAIVER
No waiver of any part of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in
writing by the waiving party. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same, or any other provision, of
this Agreement.
22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and the parties agree that there are no other
representations, warranties or oral agreements relating to the subject matter of
this Agreement. Headings are included in the Agreement for convenience only and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of this Agreement's provisions.
23. AMENDMENT
This Agreement may be modified or amended only by means of a writing executed by
both parties.
24. ASSIGNIBILITY AND RESALE
Rights under this Agreement shall not be assigned, sublicensed, encumbered
by security interest or otherwise transferred or resold by CLIENT or ONESOFT
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent
of the other, and any purported assignment, sublicense, encumbrance or other
transfer of such rights, in violation of this Agreement, shall be void. An
amalgamation, acquisition, or merger of CLIENT by or with any person or
entity who is not a party to this Agreement, but who intends to carry on
substantially the business of the CLIENT, shall not be treated as an
assignment of this Agreement that is subject to the provisions of the next
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Scope of Work so
provides, CLIENT may use the Services under the Scope of Work in support of
its internal business operations and may also distribute such Services to
unrelated third parties for their internal use (by such third party
organization's own personnel) and to ultimate end-users in the public at
large, subject to the terms, conditions and

limitations of this Agreement and such Scope of Work, and provided that
CLIENT shall defend, indemnify and hold ONESOFT harmless from all costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claim by a third
party user such Services. An amalgamation, acquisition, or merger of ONESOFT
by or with any person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement, but
who intends to carry on substantially the business of the ONESOFT, shall not
be treated as an assignment of this Agreement that is subject to the
provisions of this Paragraph.
25. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
Each party shall carry out the obligations contemplated by this Agreement and
shall otherwise deal with the subject matter hereof in compliance with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, of all governmental authorities,
including, without limitation, the Export Act and any other legal restrictions
on exports, and shall obtain all permits and licenses required in connection
with the subject matter hereof.
26. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties,
their successors and permitted assigns.
27. SEVERABILITY
If any provision, of this Agreement or a Product Addendum or Schedule or Scope
of Work or Change Order, is held to be unenforceable, all remaining provisions
thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
28. GENERAL PROVISIONS

a material breach of this Agreement by OneSoft then the provisions of this
