Subject to Radiant attaining and maintaining the Certification required hereunder, and/or to Distributors attaining and maintaining certification by Radiant as required hereunder, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and only within the Market, Enterprise appoints and authorizes Radiant and its Distributors to market, sell, resell, sublicense and/or distribute to Customers on a non-exclusive basis (i) the Executable Code version of the Software; (ii) Hosting Services; and (iii) Complementary Services. The parties agree that unless otherwise specified herein, Radiant is under no obligation to undertake any such activities and nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee on Radiant’s part that Enterprise will realize any revenue from the aforementioned appointment.
2.2 Limitations. Radiant acknowledges and agrees that (i) its rights with respect to reselling the Software and Hosting Services are limited to Customers operating within the Market, and (ii) Enterprise shall have the sole and exclusive right to dictate whether the Software will be licensed by Radiant and its Distributors on a subscription basis or on a per-license basis, subject, however, to the restriction that (a) Radiant must receive at least six months prior written notice if Enterprise intends to change the then-current licensing methodology, and (b) any such change shall not affect any offer, contract or arrangement between Radiant and its Customers entered into in writing prior to the effective date of the change (provided Radiant is able to substantiate the submission of the specific written offer, contract or arrangement). Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to market, distribute, license or sell any
Page 7
Software, Hosting Services, or services substantially similar to the Complementary Services to the Radiant National Accounts during the six month period commencing with the Effective Date (the “Reservation Period”). Subsequent to the Reservation Period, Enterprise shall have the right to market, distribute, license and sell any Software, Hosting Services and services substantially similar to the Complementary Services to any or all Radiant National Accounts. Enterprise and Radiant agree that all Persons other than Radiant National Accounts during the Reservation Period will constitute prospective clients for either party and either party shall have the unrestricted right to market and sell products and services to such Persons as it deems appropriate (except as expressly restricted in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during the Reservation Period, if Radiant shall offer, market or sell any product to a Radiant National Account that is a competitive alternative to any Enterprise Product, then such Person shall no longer be deemed to be a Radiant National Account and the restrictions herein on Enterprise’s right to freely market, distribute, license or sell the Software and/or any services to such Person shall be waived.
2.3 Reservation of Rights. Except as restricted by Section 2.2, Enterprise reserves the right (i) through its own employees and contractors, or (ii) through other resellers, distributors and co-marketers, to market, distribute and sublicense the Enterprise Products and to market and sell Hosting Services and services substantially similar to the Complementary Services. Other than as set forth in Section 2.2, this Agreement does not, nor is it intended to, address the means, methods and under what conditions, Radiant markets, distributes, licenses and sells its own products and service offerings.
2.4 No Marketing Fees. Radiant acknowledges and agrees that Enterprise is under no obligation to pay Radiant any fees, royalties or expenses in connection with Radiant’s marketing of the Software, Hosting Services or Complementary Services hereunder. Any such marketing activities are undertaken by Radiant in consideration for Radiant’s Certification and Enterprise’s appointment of Radiant as an authorized reseller of the Software and Hosting Services. Radiant further acknowledges and agrees that the fees charged by Radiant for the Complementary Services are the responsibility of the Customers and not Enterprise.
3. CERTIFICATION.
3.1 Training. Radiant agrees to undertake, and to cause its Distributors (collectively with Radiant, the “Resellers”) to undertake, the training that Enterprise deems reasonably necessary for Resellers to become an authorized reseller of the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools) and Hosting Services and authorized providers of Complementary Services. Enterprise’s Certification requirements are set forth in the “Enterprise Certification Document,” as reasonably supplemented or amended from time to time by Enterprise; provided, however, that Enterprise agrees that the Enterprise Certification Document and any supplements or amendments thereto shall apply to Radiant only if they are also applicable to other resellers of the Enterprise Products, shall not have the effect of amending any material term of this Agreement, shall be reasonable and not arbitrary or capricious, and shall relate to Reseller’s obligations hereunder (provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, certification training requirements may be reasonably modified (in a manner that is reasonable and not arbitrary or capricious) in Enterprise’s sole discretion) or modify the Software License Terms. In the case of training sessions held at Enterprise’s facilities, Radiant
Page 8
shall bear the responsibility for the expense of travel and living accommodations for its employees. Enterprise will provide the training sessions required herein at Enterprise’s facilities (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties) and at times mutually agreed upon by the parties. Radiant will pay, for itself and its Distributors, at Enterprise’s then-current Certification training rates for such training (subject to the applicable discounts set forth on Exhibit N).
3.2 Certification Compliance. Any benefits and privileges offered by Enterprise to the Resellers hereunder are contingent upon the Resellers being continuously certified during the term of this Agreement.
3.3 Annual Evaluations. To ensure that the Resellers maintain uniformity and high quality standards in distributing and supporting the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools), Hosting Services and Complementary Services, Enterprise may perform annual evaluations of the Resellers’ performance hereunder, such evaluation to include, without limitation, Enterprise’s review of the Resellers’ performance of Complementary Services at the Resellers’ support facilities. All such evaluations of Radiant shall be conducted in accordance with Section 28 herein. If, as a result of such evaluation, Enterprise determines that Radiant has not maintained Enterprise’s Certification requirements, as required, Enterprise shall reasonably decide either: (i) subject to the restrictions on training in Section 3.1, to require Radiant to undergo such additional training as Enterprise deems reasonably necessary, for an additional Certification fee; or (ii) if Radiant fails to undertake and successfully complete the training in subsection (i), to terminate Radiant’s right to act as a reseller of the Software, Hosting Services and provider of Complementary Services or training services, as the case may be; provided, however, that termination under this Section 3.3 shall not affect Radiant’s rights or obligations to resell Enterprise Products to Legacy Clients pursuant to Legacy Contracts. Further, if as a result of such evaluation, Enterprise determines that a Distributor has not maintained applicable certification requirements, Radiant shall, at Enterprise’s written request, (i) cause the Distributor to undergo such additional training as Enterprise deems reasonably necessary, for an additional Certification fee; or (ii) if the Distributor fails to undertake such training, terminate the Distributor’s right to act as a reseller of the Software, Hosting Services and provider of Complementary Services, as the case may be.
3.4 Exception to Certification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that other than Certification for Radiant to provide (i) hosting services for the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools), and (ii) Level 2 support for the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools), Radiant shall not be required to be certified (including, without limitation, Certification under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3) (a) during the Initial Term of this Agreement, or (b) during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (each as defined in Section 23.1) if Radiant has met its Sales Criteria for each such term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Enterprise shall certify Radiant and Radiant shall maintain Certification to provide Level 3 support (with neither party charging the other party any charges, fees or expenses related thereto) for the sole and exclusive purpose of complying with that certain Amendment Number 2 to the ISIS Programme Phase II Agreement between Total France S.A., Radiant and Enterprise.
3.5 Credit Checks. Radiant hereby authorizes Enterprise to request credit reports and/or conduct background information checks on Radiant. Radiant understands that the
Page 9
credit reports may include information derived from any credit bureau and any other public records or other information bearing on Radiant’s credit standing, credit capacity, credit worthiness, general reputation, trustworthiness and/or business practices. Radiant understands that in the event Enterprise receives an unacceptable credit and/or background check, Enterprise shall have the right to discontinue sales on credit to Radiant or modify existing credit terms.
3.6 Certification of Distributors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at all times that Radiant is a reseller of the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools) and Hosting Services, the Certification process for Distributors shall be the responsibility of Radiant, and not Enterprise, provided, however, that the criteria to be used by Radiant to certify Distributors to resell the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools) and Hosting Service and to be a provider of Complementary Services shall be established by Enterprise, consistent at all times with the then-current Certification criteria used by Enterprise with other similarly situated distributors. Radiant shall have the right to conduct Certification training for Distributors or to send the Distributors to Certification training as offered by Enterprise hereunder, and Enterprise shall have the right to xxxx Radiant for providing such training services at its standard training rates (subject to the applicable discount set forth on Exhibit N). Radiant agrees that it shall be responsible for and liable for all acts or omissions of its Distributors in connection with each Distributor’s performance of its obligations under its applicable Distributor Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Enterprise shall have the right to create and develop application programming interfaces between Enterprise’s software and the Epsilon Code (the “Epsilon Interfaces”) solely as required for providing support services for Alltel. Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that, after the Effective Date, Radiant shall have no further support or maintenance obligations to Alltel under that certain Radiant Software and Support Agreement dated June 29, 2001 between Radiant and Alltel, as amended (the “Alltel Agreement”) and Enterprise will indemnify Radiant for such support and maintenance obligations; provided, however that Radiant agrees to provide software maintenance and support services with respect to the Lighthouse Point of Sale product to Enterprise, as reasonably requested from time to time by Enterprise, for the purpose of assisting Enterprise with its obligations to provide, in accordance with the terms, including response times, under the Alltel Agreement, Legacy Services to Alltel. Enterprise shall pay Radiant for such support and maintenance services at Radiant’s then-current professional services rates (subject to the discount specified on Exhibit N)). Further, at Enterprise’s reasonable request, Radiant agrees to provide custom development services with respect to the Epsilon Code at Radiant’s then-current professional services rates (subject to the discount set forth on Exhibit N). Enterprise understands and agrees that Radiant is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Epsilon Code and all Derivative Works thereof prepared by Enterprise.
(iv) Use of Source Code. As used in this paragraph, “Recipient” shall mean (a) Radiant with respect to the Source Code delivered pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or otherwise received by Radiant pursuant to Section 12 (collectively, the “Escrowed Code”) and the POS Management Module, and (b) Enterprise with respect to the Epsilon Code; “Producer” shall mean (x) Enterprise with respect to the POS Management Module and the Escrowed Code, and (y) Radiant with respect to the Epsilon Code. All Source Code with respect to the POS Management Module, Epsilon Code and Escrowed Code (as used in this paragraph, as the context dictates, the “Applicable Code”), and all copies thereof, shall be stored by the Recipient in a limited access locked container, may be accessed by and disclosed solely to employees of the Recipient who have a need to use it as provided above and who have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.4 (“Authorized Programmers”), and may be used by the Authorized Programmers for the sole purposes expressed in Section 4.4(i) or 4.4(iii) above, in the Escrow Agreement or as otherwise permitted by Section 12, as applicable. Recipient shall keep an accurate and daily log of all users of the Applicable Code, which log shall
Page 13
contain the names of the Authorized Programmers using the Applicable Code, the date and time of such uses, the purpose for such uses and a description of the modifications made to the Applicable Code, if any. All Authorized Programmers shall be informed that the Applicable Code constitutes the confidential trade secret of the Producer. All use of the Applicable Code shall be conducted on equipment that cannot be accessed by means of a remote terminal or information net or network, and shall be conducted in a limited access secure location. Recipient shall, and shall cause its employees, including the Authorized Programmers to, treat the Applicable Code as confidential and secret, and neither Recipient nor any of its employees shall disclose or otherwise make available the Applicable Code or any portion thereof to any other person or entity. Recipient shall immediately notify the Producer in the event that all or any part of the Applicable Code is stolen or accessed by anyone other than an Authorized Programmer, use efforts to contain and mitigate the damage that may be caused by such acts and pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Producer in the Producer’s efforts to contain and mitigate such damage. Recipient further agrees not to use the Applicable Code to create a new product offering that would reasonably be construed as a competitive alternative to the executable versions of the Applicable Code.
(v) Development of Interfaces. Enterprise acknowledges that Radiant has the right to create and develop application programming interfaces between Radiant’s products and the Enterprise Products.
(vi) License of Radiant Marks. Radiant hereby grants to Enterprise the worldwide, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as permitted herein), non-transferable (except as permitted herein), and limited license to use the Radiant Marks in connection with the performance of Enterprise’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, provided such use is consistent with the provisions of Section 17 below.
5. FEES, INVOICING, PAYMENT AND MOST FAVORED NATIONS PRICING – CUSTOMERS AND RESELLER LEGACY CLIENTS.
5.1 Enterprise Products. The fees for the Enterprise Products to be resold to Customers and Reseller Legacy Clients (except to the extent such fees are set forth in applicable Legacy Contracts) are set forth on Exhibit N and are based on Enterprise’s Manufacturer Suggest Retail Price list, a copy of which shall be provided by Enterprise to Radiant on a regular basis or otherwise upon request. Except as otherwise set forth on Exhibit O, and subject to Section 9 herein, the parties shall adhere to the following invoicing and payment policy for all Orders placed under this Agreement:
(i) Radiant will issue an Order to Enterprise via overnight mail, hand delivery, e-mail, facsimile, or any other mutually agreed upon mode of delivery;
(ii) Enterprise will generate and deliver to Radiant a corresponding invoice for the Enterprise Products; and
(iii) Radiant will process the invoice and remit payment of such to Enterprise within 30 days of its receipt of the invoice.
Page 14
5.2 Enterprise Product Support and Maintenance Fees. The fees for support and maintenance services provided by Enterprise to Customers and Reseller Legacy Clients (except to the extent such fees are set forth in applicable Legacy Contracts) are set forth on Exhibit N. Enterprise will invoice Radiant on a monthly basis for such fees, and Radiant will pay such fees within 30 days of its receipt of Enterprise’s invoice.
5.3 Hosting Services Fees. The initial Hosting Services set-up fee and recurring monthly subscription fees for Hosting Services resold by Radiant to its Customers and Reseller Legacy Clients (except to the extent such fees are set forth in applicable Legacy Contracts) are set forth on Exhibit N and are based on Enterprise’s MSRP list for resellers, a copy of which shall be provided to Radiant on a regular basis. Enterprise will invoice Radiant on a monthly basis for such fees, and Radiant will pay such fees within 30 days of its receipt of Enterprise’s invoice.
5.4 Other Service Fees. Each party will charge the other party at its then current standard professional services rates (subject to the discount set forth on Exhibit N) for all other services rendered hereunder, including, without limitation, the Certification training services described in Section 3, if applicable, and the sales and marketing support described in Section 14. The party providing the services will invoice the other party on a monthly basis for such service fees, and the party receiving the services will pay such fees within 30 days of its receipt of the invoice.
5.5 Expenses. The party receiving services will also pay all reasonable travel, meal and lodging expenses incurred by the party providing services in connection with the provision of any services hereunder. Such expenses shall be paid within 30 days of receipt of an invoice covering same.
5.6 Disputed Fees. Each party shall have 10 days after receipt of any invoice from the other party pursuant to this Agreement to dispute such fees by providing written notice to the other party. If such party fails to deliver such written notice within such 10-day period, all invoiced fees shall be deemed accepted, and the party shall pay such fees within 30 days after its receipt of the invoice. Any fees that have been disputed in good faith shall be paid immediately upon resolution of the dispute; provided, however, that interest shall begin to apply to any disputed fees ultimately determined to be required to be paid 30 days after a party’s receipt of the original invoice delivered with respect to such disputed fees. Under no circumstances shall either party be entitled to withhold any payments with respect to undisputed fees, whether or not other fees are subject to dispute.
5.7 Price Changes. Except as may be provided on Exhibit N, Enterprise shall have the right, at any time to revise, change, alter or amend its Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price list or any other fees and charges for the Enterprise Products, Hosting Services and other products and services provided by Enterprise to Radiant, including without limitation, the fees set forth on Exhibit N, upon six months notice to Radiant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Legacy Clients (other than Reseller Legacy Clients) and Reseller Legacy Clients after the initial 18-month period following the Effective Date, Enterprise may at any time change the pricing to Radiant of support, maintenance, hosting or professional services as permitted by applicable Legacy Contracts without Radiant’s consent or approval; with respect to Reseller
Page 15
Legacy Clients, during the initial 18-month period following the Effective Date, Enterprise may at any time change the pricing to Radiant of support, maintenance and hosting services as permitted by applicable Legacy Contracts by up to 5% without Radiant’s consent or approval. Price changes for those items under Legacy Contracts are governed by the terms of the Legacy Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Orders submitted by Radiant to Enterprise prior to the effective date of the price change shall not be affected by any price change permitted hereunder.
5.8 Taxes. All fees and charges are net amounts to be received by Enterprise, exclusive of all sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes, withholding taxes, assessments and similar taxes and duties, and are not subject to offset or reduction because of any costs, expenses, taxes, duties, assessments or liabilities incurred by Radiant or imposed on Enterprise in the performance of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Radiant shall be responsible for and shall xxxx, pay and collect directly, any and all taxes and charges of whatever kind incurred in its performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Enterprise shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes based on Enterprise’s net income. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, new and presently unknown taxes are assessed relating to Enterprise’s provision of the Enterprise Products or either party’s provision of any services hereunder that materially and detrimentally change either party’s financial burden under this Agreement (“New Taxes”), then the parties shall at that time assess ways in which to avoid the New Taxes and/or negotiate in good faith the allocation among them for payment of the New Taxes based on the principles above. Both parties shall work together to reduce each other’s tax liabilities accrued under this Section 5.8.
5.9 Customer and Reseller Legacy Client Accounts. Radiant shall be responsible for the billing and collection of all Customer and Reseller Legacy Client accounts, including, without limitation, billing and collection of the purchase price payable by the Customers and the Reseller Legacy Clients for licenses and all recurring fees and charges payable by the Customers and the Reseller Legacy Clients, such as subscription fees for the Hosting Services, and maintenance and support fees. Radiant’s obligation to pay Enterprise amounts due with respect to Customers and Reseller Legacy Clients shall not be contingent upon collection of monies from Customers or Reseller Legacy Clients, as the case may be.
5.10 Delinquent Payment. Any amount due one party to the other party which becomes overdue shall bear interest at one percent (1%) simple interest per month, with interest commencing from the date payment was due. If Radiant fails to pay any Hosting Services fees or maintenance and support fees due hereunder for Customers or Reseller Legacy Clients, Enterprise shall have the right to suspend all Hosting Services and support and maintenance services (including the provision of Enhancements or Upgrades to Radiant) with respect to the Customers or Reseller Legacy Clients, as the case may be, for which payment has not been received until past due amounts are paid.
5.11 Additional Discounts. The parties agree that on a case-by-case basis, there may be specific client opportunities that will necessitate a deeper discount or pricing adjustment for Radiant. Any such adjustment in the discount percentage or price shall be subject to the written agreement of both parties; provided, however, that Enterprise shall have no obligation to grant any such discount.
Page 16
5.12 Most Favored Nation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.12, during the term hereof, should Enterprise sell standard uncustomized Enterprise Products to another reseller at prices that are lower than the prices contained on Exhibit N (taking into account any volume discount levels described thereon) (as the same may be amended or modified pursuant to Section 5.7 or this Section 5.12), then Enterprise shall notify Radiant of the same reasonably promptly after such sale. Such pricing shall be made available to Radiant for all Orders that do not constitute Accepted Orders (as defined in Section 9.1) and all future Orders, and Exhibit N shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such reduced pricing. If Radiant shall become entitled to such lower prices, but shall have made payment at any prices in excess thereof, Enterprise shall promptly refund the difference in price to Radiant. If Enterprise shall sell to another reseller new or different variants of the Enterprise Products that are not, at that time, listed on Exhibit N, Enterprise agrees reasonably promptly to notify Radiant and add such variants and their prices to Exhibit N and thereafter to make such variants available to Radiant at the prices made available to the other reseller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without triggering the adjustment process contemplated in the aforementioned provisions of this Section 5.12, Enterprise shall have the right to sell Software or Hosting Services to a Person (“Strategic Reseller”) who or that has contracted with Enterprise to resell such Software or Hosting Services to one or a few specific prospective strategic clients; provided, however, that if (i) Enterprise shall offer to sell, commit to sell, or sell Software to a Strategic Reseller; (ii) the pricing offered, committed or made available to the Strategic Reseller is lower than the pricing then made available to Radiant; and (iii) Radiant, through its own efforts, is competing with the Strategic Reseller for the same strategic client(s) as the Strategic Reseller, then Enterprise agrees to make available to Radiant the same pricing that is being made available to the Strategic Reseller solely for resale to the strategic client(s); provided, further, however, that Enterprise shall have no obligation to notify Radiant of such prospective strategic relationship and any pricing reductions with respect to such strategic relationship shall not affect the normal pricing made available to Radiant. Further, Enterprise may give special promotional pricing to new, start-up resellers (“Promotional Pricing”), which Promotional Pricing will be made available to Radiant solely for the duration of the applicable promotion (it being understood that the subsequent increase in pricing to the same pre-promotion levels shall not be restricted by Section 5.7). Enterprise will provide Radiant with reasonably prompt notice of any Promotional Pricing. Enterprise agrees reasonably to provide information or materials to Radiant within a reasonable period of time after Radiant requests the same in writing to substantiate Enterprise’s contention that any such pricing constitutes Promotional Pricing. Further, if Radiant and Enterprise are both involved in the same competitive bid opportunity and Radiant is offering the prospective client the identical Software product mix as Enterprise is offering the prospective client, Enterprise will lower its price to Radiant for such Software solely for that competitive bid opportunity to a rate equal to the pricing offered to the applicable end user (but not subject to any discounts).
5.13 Franchisor and Co-op Pricing Arrangements. Radiant acknowledges that Enterprise may from time to time grant pricing concessions to franchisors, franchisee co-ops or others for the benefit of defined groups of potential clients (each a “Protected Group”). Any such concessions shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether Radiant is entitled to price reductions in accordance with Section 5.12. Enterprise shall maintain a current list of all such Protected Groups and their respective pricing concessions and shall make the list available to Radiant upon reasonable request. Radiant covenants and agrees that should Enterprise and its resellers be contractually prohibited from selling or attempting to sell the
Page 17
Enterprise Products or Hosting Services to any member of a Protected Group at prices that exceed the pricing concessions established for that Protected Group, Radiant and its Distributors shall comply with such prohibitions; provided, however, that the foregoing covenant shall not apply retroactively to binding contractual commitments (as opposed to contract pricing with no commitment to purchase) entered into between Radiant and any Customer or Legacy Client prior to the establishment of the pricing concession.
5.14 Subcontractor Agreements. Periodically, either party may approach the other with a subcontracting opportunity to provide staffing resources, technical expertise, or other services as a subcontractor associated with a larger effort. All such subcontracting agreements shall be established separately per written agreement and shall be billed in accordance with Section 5.4 (subject to applicable discounts set forth on Exhibit N).
5.15 Sales by Existing Resellers. The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Person that is a Radiant reseller as of the Effective Date shall desire to sell any Enterprise Product licenses or services related thereto to a Customer, Radiant shall be required to purchase such Enterprise Product licenses and services thereto on behalf of such reseller at the prices and subject to the discounts described on Exhibit N.
5.16 Set Off. Neither party (the “Owing Party”) shall have the right to set off amounts owed to the other party (the “Other Party”) hereunder against amounts owed by the Other Party to the Owing Party.
6. RADIANT’S OBLIGATIONS.
6.1 General Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Radiant agrees to:

(d) hosting services directly to Customers or resell Enterprise’s Hosting Services (subject to Hosting Terms) to Customers; or
(e) configuration services, including, at a minimum, being able to provide customized software configurations upon request by Customers. The foregoing shall not be deemed to authorize Radiant to make modifications to or prepare Derivative Works based upon the Enterprise Products. Whether or not to pursue such a configuration request is solely at the discretion of Radiant; and
(iv) Take all actions necessary or appropriate to protect the ability of either Radiant or Enterprise, or both, to prevent unauthorized Persons from reproducing, copying, marketing, selling, distributing, transferring, translating, modifying, adapting, disassembling or reverse engineering the Enterprise Products, creating Derivative Works based on the Enterprise Products, or misappropriating the Marks.
6.2 Software License Agreement. As a condition to Radiant’s right to sublicense the Software to Customers as permitted hereunder, Radiant agrees that each Customer will execute a Software License Agreement, which shall include at a minimum, the Software License Terms. Pursuant to Section 28, Enterprise shall have the right to audit Radiant’s compliance with this Section 6.2 by reviewing and making copies of such Software License Agreements provided Radiant shall have the right to redact from such documents any confidential pricing information.
6.3 Form of Complementary Services Agreement. In connection with selling Complementary Services to Customers, Radiant agrees to have each Customer sign an agreement, which may be the Software License Agreement (the “Complementary Services Agreement”), which shall contain the following provisions:
(i) Enterprise (referred to either by name or as a licensor) shall not be responsible for providing any of the Complementary Services to Radiant’s Customers, and Enterprise shall have no liability or responsibility to the Customers under the Complementary Services Agreement; and
(ii) Enterprise shall be expressly included, by name or named as a licensor, to the same extent as Radiant, in: (a) any limitation of liability provisions (such as disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability to a specified sum of money); (b) any limitation of remedy (such as disclaimers of consequential, special, and/or punitive damages and lost profits); and (c) any limitation of time period in which legal action or arbitration proceedings may be brought by the Customer.
6.4 Failure of Certification. In the event Radiant is no longer Certified to provide specified services that are applicable to a Customer, at Enterprise’s request, Radiant shall discontinue all such specific services to such Customer. In such case, Enterprise may
Page 19
contact the Customer directly and encourage the Customer to purchase such specific services from Enterprise, and Radiant will cooperate with respect to the same.
6.5 Distributor Agreement. Radiant agrees that each Distributor will execute a Distributor Agreement, which shall include, at a minimum, the Distributor Terms.
6.6 Resale of Hosting Services. In connection with the resale of Hosting Services to Customers as permitted hereunder, Radiant agrees that Exhibit C sets forth the entire scope of the Hosting Services to be provided by Enterprise. Radiant shall not offer services, terms and conditions for Hosting Services in excess of, or more expansive than, those set forth on Exhibit C and Radiant agrees that each Customer receiving Hosting Services will execute an agreement containing, at a minimum, the Hosting Terms.
6.7 Representations by Radiant. Radiant will make no representations, guarantees or warranties about the Enterprise Products, Hosting Services, or the software support and maintenance services provided by Enterprise, unless such representations, guarantees or warranties are contained in materials which are provided by Enterprise to Radiant or are set forth in the Software License Terms; provided, however, that if Radiant desires to offer a prospective Customer a warranty that is different, in any respect, from a warranty Enterprise has provided to Radiant in Section 15 or in the Software License Terms, then Radiant may make a request in writing that Enterprise honor such different warranty, and Enterprise may, in its sole discretion, agree to honor such warranty by accepting such request in writing.
6.8 Review of Reseller Activities. Enterprise and Radiant will engage periodically in meetings with Radiant’s executives (“Executive Reviews”) to discuss performance, staffing and support issues, as well as emerging trends and opportunities, relative to this Agreement. These Executive Reviews will also be the mechanism for expanding and/or modifying the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Executive Reviews shall cover such topics as the parties may mutually agree.
6.9 Installed Customer Base Report. Within twenty (20) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Radiant will provide to Enterprise a report identifying the Customers and Legacy Clients of Radiant and such other relevant information as Enterprise may reasonably request (an “Installed Customer Base Report”).
6.10 Customer Satisfaction Surveys. Enterprise and Radiant agree to jointly conduct a minimum of one survey each year beginning on the Effective Date of Radiant’s Customers based on the latest Installed Customer Base Report. Radiant and Enterprise shall have a right to reasonably approve the content of the survey, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.
6.11 Time Clocks.
(i) Purchase of Time Clocks. Enterprise may, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, issue to Radiant orders for one or more Time Clocks, which orders shall identify the number of Time Clocks Enterprise desires to purchase and the aggregate purchase price for such Time Clocks. Upon receipt of a written commitment to purchase Time Clocks, which commitment does not contain any additional or
Page 20
inconsistent terms to those set forth herein, Radiant will accept the order immediately and deliver to Enterprise the Time Clocks within 45 days after acceptance of the order. After delivery of the requested Time Clocks, Radiant will invoice Enterprise such Time Clocks, and Enterprise will pay such fees within 30 days after its receipt of the invoice. Title to all Time Clocks purchased hereunder and risk of loss or damage shall pass to Enterprise upon the earlier of the delivery to the carrier at the place of shipment or Enterprise’s receipt of the Time Clocks at Enterprise’s place of business.
(ii) Pricing of Time Clocks. The Time Clocks shall be priced at the rate and subject to the discounts set forth on Exhibit N. During the term hereof, should Radiant sell a Time Clock to another Person at a price that is lower than the price contained on Exhibit N (as the same may be amended or modified pursuant to this Section 6.11(ii)), then Radiant shall notify Enterprise of the same reasonably promptly after such sale. Such pricing shall be made available to Enterprise for all unfulfilled orders that have not been accepted by Radiant and all future orders, and Exhibit N shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such reduced pricing. If Enterprise shall become entitled to such lower price, but shall have made payment at any price in excess thereof, Radiant shall promptly refund the difference in price to Enterprise.
(iii) Price Changes on Time Clocks. Radiant shall have the right, at any time, to revise, change, alter or amend the Time Clock price set forth on Exhibit N upon six months notice to Enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any orders for Time Clocks submitted by Enterprise to Radiant prior to the effective date of the price change shall not be affected by any price change permitted hereunder.
(iv) Warranty. Radiant warrants that the Time Clocks shall conform to the descriptions set forth in Exhibit V, including any requirements and specifications set forth therein, and shall be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months following delivery of the Time Clocks to Enterprise. If Enterprise believes that there is a defect in a Time Clock such that the Time Clock does not conform to this limited warranty, Radiant must be notified no later than 12 months following delivery of the Time Clock to Enterprise. Enterprise agrees that Enterprise’s or an Enterprise client’s sole remedy for such defect or non-conformity shall be the repair or replacement of the applicable Time Clock. Radiant shall have no obligation under this Section 6.11(iv) should the Time Clocks be modified, altered, or subjected to misuse, neglect, accident or improper use by Enterprise or an Enterprise client or any third party.
(v) Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (iv) ABOVE, RADIANT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE TIME CLOCKS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
6.12 Third Party Beneficiary Claims. If Enterprise asserts its third party beneficiary rights pursuant to any applicable Software License Agreement, Hosting Agreement or Distributor Agreement by filing a direct claim against a Customer or Distributor, Radiant
Page 21
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any such claim; provided, however, that if any such direct claim is asserted by Enterprise, Enterprise shall not have the right to attain a double recovery by asserting a claim against Radiant with respect to the same subject matter as the direct claim. Enterprise agrees to give Radiant prior notice, reasonable under the facts and circumstances, prior to filing any such claim. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed as requiring Radiant to pay or collect any amounts required to be paid by such Customer or Distributor, as the case may be, as a result of such direct claim.
7. LEGACY CLIENTS.
7.1 Services Under Legacy Contracts. As a result of the Separation, it will be necessary for Enterprise to perform the Legacy Services under the Legacy Contracts applicable to each Enterprise Product. Accordingly, Radiant hereby engages Enterprise, and Enterprise hereby agrees to be engaged, to undertake the Legacy Services. Further, it may be desirable for Radiant to sell additional Enterprise Product licenses to Legacy Clients. The provision of Legacy Services by Enterprise and the sale by Radiant of additional Enterprise Product licenses are subject to the following:
(i) the Legacy Services for each Legacy Contract are specified therein;
(ii) as they relate to the Legacy Services, Enterprise shall be entitled to all of the benefits and rights of Radiant under each Legacy Contract; provided, that Enterprise’s rights to receive payments for Legacy Services are only as set forth in this Section 7. To the extent necessary to enforce or receive the benefit of such rights and benefits, Radiant, at its expense, will take such reasonable actions as are necessary in order to enforce the applicable Legacy Contracts on behalf of Enterprise;
(iii) the following provisions shall apply with respect to Radiant’s right to sell or continue to sell Enterprise Product licenses to Legacy Clients:
(a) during the initial 18-month period after the Effective Date, Radiant shall have the right to continue to sell Enterprise Product licenses to Legacy Clients pursuant to the terms (including the pricing therein) of applicable Legacy Contracts, but only if (1) the sale of such additional licenses is permitted by the applicable Legacy Contracts, (2) such sale of additional licenses does not exceed the normal buying patterns of the Legacy Client or represent a material quantity of licenses, and (3) such sale of additional licenses does not create an Additional Enterprise Obligation (as defined below); provided that all revenues that Radiant receives from such additional licenses shall be passed through to Enterprise pursuant to Section 7.1(iv). In the event Radiant is not entitled to continue to sell additional licenses solely as a result of a failure to meet the condition specified in (2) above, Enterprise agrees to consent to such sales of additional licenses unless it reasonably believes that such additional license sales will cause a material hardship on Enterprise;
(b) following the initial 18-month period after the Effective Date, Radiant shall have the right to continue to sell Enterprise Product licenses to
Page 22
Legacy Clients pursuant to the terms (including the pricing therein) of applicable Legacy Contracts, but only if the sale of additional licenses is required by the applicable Legacy Contracts; provided that all revenues that Radiant receives from such additional licenses shall be passed through to Enterprise pursuant to Section 7.1(iv), and
(c) during the term of this Agreement, Radiant shall have the right to sell ReMacs and Software licenses to Reseller Legacy Clients other than pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above, provided, that, without the advance written consent of Enterprise, any such sale under this subsection (c) shall be made pursuant to a Software License Agreement containing, at a minimum, the Software License Terms.
For purposes hereof, an “Additional Enterprise Obligation” shall mean an obligation of Enterprise to provide services, including, without limitation, consulting and custom development services (but not including hosting, support or maintenance services), additional to the Legacy Services that Enterprise would be required to perform if no such additional licenses were sold. The foregoing provisions are not intended to apply, and shall not apply, to Enterprise Product Licenses sold by Legacy Clients to Customers. (See Section 5.15).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Radiant shall not sell ReMacs licenses after December 31, 2004.
(iv) except for revenues received or to be received from Reseller Legacy Clients, and subject to subsection (viii) below, Radiant will pass through to Enterprise all revenues that Radiant receives from such Legacy Clients for the Legacy Services and for Enterprise Product licenses (the Legacy Services and such licenses and subscriptions hereinafter referred to as the “Legacy Items”) and such revenues (the “Pass Through Revenues”) shall be paid to Enterprise within 10 days of Radiant’s receipt of same from such Legacy Clients (other than Reseller Legacy Clients), although if a Legacy Client (other than a Reseller Legacy Client) disputes fees payable to Radiant and such dispute relates to the Legacy Items, Radiant shall pay such fees to Enterprise promptly after the dispute is resolved. In the event of such a dispute, Radiant will provide Enterprise with documentation substantiating the existence of the dispute. To the extent Radiant wants to compromise all or part of the fees associated with the Legacy Items, Radiant will not do so without the prior written consent of Enterprise, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Enterprise understands that Radiant has no obligation to pay for the Legacy Items (other than Legacy Services performed by or on behalf of or licenses sold to Reseller Legacy Clients) unless and until it receives payment from the applicable Legacy Clients; provided, however, that, Radiant agrees (i) to xxxx and attempt to collect the fees associated with the Legacy Items according to the following guidelines unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Legacy Contract: (a) support, maintenance, subscription or hosting fees shall be billed no later than the 10th day of the month in which the service is to be provided; (b) software licenses and subscriptions shall be billed within 3 days of notification of product shipment; and (c) professional services shall be billed on delivery of an Order, but in any event, no later than the third business day of the month following performance of the services; and (ii) upon request, to provide an accounts receivable trial balance report for Legacy Clients and, simultaneously with delivery to Legacy Clients,
Page 23
copies of applicable invoices to Enterprise. If any payments are past due more than 30 days, (x) Enterprise shall have the right to contact the delinquent Legacy Client in an effort to cause the Legacy Client to pay Radiant the fees owed and/or, if not prohibited by or in contradiction with the applicable Legacy Contract, suspend Legacy Services to such Legacy Client until such payments are received; and (y) Radiant shall, upon written request from Enterprise, exercise all of its remedies under the applicable Legacy Contract and otherwise diligently pursue its rights to payment thereunder, including, without limitation, by filing a lawsuit (at Enterprise’s cost and expense, including attorneys’ fees and witness fees, as applicable) against the applicable Legacy Client for fees owed; provided, however, that Enterprise agrees that Radiant shall not be required to pursue such remedies or rights to payment if Radiant pays Enterprise all amounts owed to Enterprise with respect to such Legacy Contract, provided, further, that if Radiant files a lawsuit pursuant to this subsection, Enterprise will indemnify Radiant with respect to any counterclaims based on the Legacy Services. Radiant hereby grants to Enterprise a present and continuing security interest in and lien on all now existing or hereafter arising rights, titles and interests of Radiant in, to or under all accounts, accounts receivable and payment intangibles and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof, in each case, related solely to the Pass Through Revenues, whether now owned or hereafter existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located, to secure the payment of all Pass Through Revenues and performance of payment obligations related thereto now or hereafter owing by Radiant to Enterprise. Radiant hereby authorizes Enterprise to file from time to time any financing statements, financing statement amendments and/or continuation statements on Radiant’s behalf in order to perfect, or maintain the perfection of, the security interest granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence;
(v) the period during which Enterprise shall perform such Legacy Services shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate, with respect to each Legacy Contract, on the expiration, or earlier termination, of such Legacy Contract and cannot be extended without the advance written consent of Enterprise;
(vi) Radiant may terminate the Legacy Services with respect to a specific Legacy Contract if Enterprise materially breaches its obligations under this Section 7.1, and fails to cure the breach within 30 days after written notice from Radiant (unless the breach, by its nature, is curable but incapable of being cured within such 30-day period, then, in that event, so long as Enterprise is diligently attempting to cure such breach, within a reasonable period after receipt of such notice) specifying the breach and requesting that it be cured. Enterprise may terminate the Legacy Services with respect to a specific Legacy Contract in the event Radiant fails to pay amounts due under this Section 7.1 for such Legacy Contract and fails to cure the failure within 20 days after written notice from Enterprise specifying the failure and requesting that it be cured;
(vii) the Legacy Services shall be performed consistent with each Legacy Contract; provided, however, that Enterprise has no right or authority to bind or obligate Radiant;
(viii) Enterprise shall be responsible for all expenses and costs it incurs in performing the Legacy Services, except to the extent such expenses and costs are to be

borne by a Legacy Client pursuant to a Legacy Contract, in which case, Radiant shall reimburse Enterprise for all such expenses and costs not reimbursed by the applicable Legacy Client; provided, Enterprise agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist Radiant in recovering such unreimbursed expenses and costs;
(ix) Enterprise and Radiant will make no representations, warranties or guarantees to Legacy Clients regarding the Legacy Services without the other party’s prior written consent;
(x) the parties agree to allocate the risk of liability with respect to the Legacy Services in accordance with Section 18 below;
(xi) Radiant will not amend a Legacy Contract or enter into a new agreement with a Legacy Client (other than a Software License Agreement) without Enterprise’s prior written consent if such amendment would have the effect of modifying, altering or changing the Legacy Services or the economic terms of the Legacy Contract that affect the Legacy Services, requiring Enterprise to otherwise perform additional or different services, increasing Enterprise’s liability thereunder, or requiring Enterprise to sell or license additional or different products or services than as otherwise set forth in such Legacy Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the initial 18-month period following the Effective Date, Radiant may extend the term of its support and maintenance obligations to a Legacy Client pursuant to the terms of an applicable Legacy Contract if not prohibited by such Legacy Contract; following such 18-month period, Radiant, without Enterprise’s advance written consent, shall not extend the term of such support and maintenance obligations unless the applicable Legacy Contract expressly so requires. Furthermore, upon Enterprise’s request, Radiant agrees to raise prices on all Legacy Services pursuant to each Legacy Contract in connection with such extension or otherwise if permitted to do so under each such Legacy Contract; and
(xii) if a Legacy Client requests its desire to terminate its relationship with Radiant in order to license products and receive services from Enterprise, Radiant will facilitate such change provided the Legacy Client pays Radiant any and all monies due and owing and executes a full release in favor of Radiant.
Enterprise hereby confirms that Radiant has made the Legacy Contracts available for Enterprise’s review prior to the Effective Date, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Enterprise is not reliant on Radiant for any information, material or resources in order to perform the Legacy Services. Radiant agrees reasonably to cooperate with Enterprise in connection with Enterprise’s performance of the Legacy Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Radiant shall be responsible for all services under the Legacy Contracts, other than services that constitute the Legacy Services.
7.2 Rebates/Credits. The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of selected Legacy Contracts, rebates and/or credits are due, or will become due, to Legacy Clients as a result of product purchases such Legacy Clients made, or will make in the future. To avoid any inequities, the parties agree in good faith to meet within 30 days after the Effective Date, and on a regular basis thereafter, to reconcile and determine with respect to any outstanding rebates
Page 25
or credits, which party should bear responsibility for paying any such outstanding rebates or credits. Additionally, during such meeting(s), the parties in good faith shall develop a mutually acceptable plan for handling such rebates or credits that may arise in the future. The parties agree that in trying to properly and equitably apportion the responsibilities for rebates and credits, they will look to which party receives the most benefit from the Legacy Client’s purchases that triggered such rebates and/or credits.
8. OWNERSHIP.
8.1 Rights in Enterprise Products. Radiant acknowledges and agrees that, following the Separation, Enterprise will be the owner of the Software, Upgrades, Enhancements, VLM, ReMacs, Tools, Permitted Modifications, the POS Management Module, the Epsilon Interfaces and all Additional Enhancements, and, in each case any modifications, enhancements, additions, upgrades and Derivative Works thereto, whether made by Enterprise, Radiant or a third party with Enterprise’s permission. The parties acknowledge and agree that, following the Effective Date, Enterprise and Radiant will be joint owners of the RSL Code and Batch Hand Held Code (as provided in Section 4.1(ii)). Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that interfaces from Radiant’s products to an Enterprise Product, developed by Radiant after the Separation, that operate in conjunction with the Enterprise Product but contain no portion of the Enterprise Product, shall be the exclusive property of Radiant. Without limiting the foregoing, Radiant understands that in preparing the Software for use by Customers, Radiant or the Customers may be required to configure aspects of the Enterprise Products. Radiant acknowledges and agrees that any such configuration shall be deemed part of the Enterprise Products, shall be the exclusive property of Enterprise, and Enterprise shall have unlimited use of such configurations, now or in the future. Each party (“Obligor”) agrees to transfer, convey and assign to the other party (“Owner”), and to cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to transfer, convey and assign to Owner all right, title and interest in and to any and all intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, trade names and copyrights, in which the Obligor acquires an interest which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 8.1 and Section 4.4, are owned by Owner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if for any reason, Obligor or its officers, directors, employees or agents acquires or may be deemed to have acquired any rights in or to any of the intellectual property of Owner, Obligor shall execute, and shall cause each such officer, director, employee or agent to execute such acknowledgments, grants and assignments of rights, including all copyrights, in and to the intellectual property of Owner, as Owner may reasonably request (and which documents are reviewed and approved by counsel for Obligor) for the purpose of evidencing, enforcing, registering or defending its ownership of such intellectual property. Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints Owner as its agent to execute and deliver any such documents that Obligor fails or refuses to execute promptly, this power and agency being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.
8.2 Limitation on Grant of License. Radiant further acknowledges and agrees that, except for Radiant’s limited license described in Section 4 of this Agreement, this Agreement does not grant to Radiant any right, title or interest in the Enterprise Products, in any form or in any copies thereof, including all worldwide copyrights, trade secrets, patent rights and any other confidential or Proprietary Information.
Page 26
8.3 Trademark Rights. Radiant acknowledges and agrees that Enterprise is the owner of all right and title and interest in and to the Marks, and Radiant will not use any of the Marks in any manner whatsoever except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that Radiant is the owner of all right and title and interest in and to the Radiant Marks, and Enterprise will not use any of the Radiant Marks in any manner whatsoever except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
9. ORDERING AND DELIVERY.
9.1 Ordering. Radiant may order subscriptions for the Hosting Services or licenses for the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools) for resale to Customers or, as reflected in Section 7, Legacy Clients by submitting a signed Order to Enterprise for Enterprise’s acceptance. An Order upon which Enterprise has issued an invoice to Radiant or upon which Enterprise has otherwise commenced performance shall be deemed accepted by Enterprise (“Accepted Order”). Only those terms on the face of the Accepted Order that do not conflict with the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable. When accepted by Enterprise, an Order shall bind the parties hereto to the terms on the face of the Order.
9.2 Delivery. With respect to Customers that do not purchase Hosting Services or Legacy Clients, Enterprise shall deliver the applicable Enterprise Products to the Customer, Legacy Client or Radiant, as determined by the parties, within 30 days of Enterprise’s receipt and acceptance of a completed Order therefor from Radiant. With respect to Customers that purchase Hosting Services, Enterprise shall activate the Customer’s account for the applicable Enterprise Products within 30 days of Enterprise’s receipt and acceptance of a completed Order therefor from Radiant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Accepted Order contains any request that requires Enterprise to customize applicable Enterprise Products or provide any other development work, the 30-day delivery and activation obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall not apply and Enterprise shall deliver or activate such applicable Enterprise Products within a time period that Enterprise determines, in its sole discretion, is reasonable under the circumstances or, if applicable, as stated in the Accepted Order.
10. HOSTING SERVICES. In connection with the use of the Software by Customers, Enterprise acknowledges that Customers will have the following options with respect to hosting services:
(i) Radiant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer hosting services for the Software to a Customer provided (a) Radiant meets Enterprise’s hosting specifications, as published, supplemented and amended from time to time by Enterprise, (b) Radiant has obtained and continues to maintain the required Certification for providing hosting services; and (c) the Customer agrees to be bound by the Hosting Terms applicable to Customers;
(ii) Any Customer may request that the hosting be performed at the data processing facilities of the Customer or a third party host approved by Enterprise, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Enterprise shall be deemed to reasonably withhold such approval if such Customer or third party is not certified to host the Software in accordance with Enterprise’s Certification requirements.
Page 27
Enterprise shall not be responsible for any hosting services provided by the Customer or a third party host pursuant to this paragraph, nor shall such hosting services be deemed to be “Hosting Services” under this Agreement. As a condition to such hosting services, (a) the data processing facilities of the Customer or third party host, as the case may be, must meet Enterprise’s hosting specifications, as supplemented or amended from time to time by Enterprise, and (b) if applicable, the third party host must agree in writing to be bound by, at a minimum, the Hosting Terms applicable to third party hosts;
(iii) Radiant shall have the right to resell Enterprise’s Hosting Services as permitted herein, subject to, at a minimum, the Hosting Terms, for which Enterprise will be paid fees in accordance with Section 5.3; or
(iv) Radiant shall have the right to refer Customers to Enterprise as the preferred vendor for hosting services.
Enterprise agrees that in the event it intends to cease providing Hosting Services to Customers, it shall provide Radiant with no less than 120 days advance written notice, and upon Radiant’s request, Enterprise shall provide, at the professional services rates set forth on Exhibit N, Radiant with access to, and information concerning, Enterprise’s Hosting System and all such related equipment, data, files, formats and similar such material, in order that Radiant shall have the capacity and capability to provide such hosting services to the Customers. Nothing in the preceding sentence is intended to be construed so as to permit Enterprise to avoid its contractual obligations to Customers with respect to such Hosting Services.
11. TESTING; SUPPORT LIFE. Prior to distribution of a new general release of the Software (i.e. that which is generally distributed to Enterprise’s clients) or an Upgrade thereto, Radiant shall be entitled to test the new general release or Upgrade for a period of 45 days. During such testing, Radiant shall have the right to comment on and make suggestions with respect to the new general release or Upgrade, and Enterprise shall take such comments and suggestions into account prior to releasing the same. The parties agree that the support life cycle for a new general release or Upgrade shall begin on the date Enterprise generally releases such new general release or Upgrade and will continue for 30 months thereafter.
12. DELIVERY AND USE OF SOURCE CODE.
(i) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the parties will enter into a source code escrow agreement (or an amendment to an existing source code escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”)) with DSI Technology Escrow Services, Inc. or another escrow agent mutually acceptable to both parties (“Agent”). Radiant shall pay all fees required to be paid in connection with the Escrow Agreement. Reasonably promptly after delivery by Enterprise to a Legacy Client or a Customer of any Enterprise Product or an Upgrade thereto, Enterprise shall deposit with the Agent, on a mutually agreeable media, an accurate and complete copy of the then-current version of the Source Code and Executable Code version of such Enterprise Product or Upgrade, including, if applicable, the Application Code and the Platform Code. The parties acknowledge that, with respect to certain Legacy Clients, the ReMacs/VLM Code has already been deposited with the Agent. For purposes of this Section 12, “Escrowed Items” shall mean the Source Code
Page 28
and Executable Code of Enterprise Products, including the Application Code, the Platform Code and the ReMacs/VLM Code. Enterprise shall provide upgrades to the Escrowed Items to the Agent reasonably promptly after Enterprise makes an Upgrade generally available to other resellers or clients.
(ii) The Escrow Agreement shall provide for a mechanism pursuant to which a Customer or a Legacy Client can be added as a beneficiary of the Escrow Agreement if a Software License Agreement or Legacy Contract, respectively, requires the same. Enterprise acknowledges and agrees that, commencing with the Effective Date, it will assume responsibility for adding any Customer as a beneficiary under the Escrow Agreement subject to payment of any applicable fees. For Legacy Clients who were permitted to become beneficiaries of the Escrow Agreement prior to the Effective Date, but who, for whatever reason failed to do so, Radiant shall retain responsibility for ensuring such Legacy Clients are so added and that it shall reimburse Enterprise for reasonable expenses, administrative and clerical costs (as detailed on Exhibit N) it incurs in assisting Radiant to accomplish the foregoing. Radiant acknowledges its responsibility for depositing the Escrowed Items with the Agent prior to the Effective Date. If Radiant failed to fulfill such responsibility, then upon Radiant’s request, Enterprise shall deposit the Escrowed Items with the Agent and Radiant will reimburse Enterprise for its reasonable expenses, administrative and clerical costs in undertaking such depositing.
(iii) The parties understand and agree and the Escrow Agreement shall reflect that the Escrowed Items or portions thereof will be released to Radiant or the applicable Customer or Legacy Client, as the case may be, solely under the following circumstances (except as otherwise expressly provided in a Legacy Contract or related escrow agreement):
(a) upon resolution of the dispute resolution procedure in the Escrow Agreement or Legacy Contract or Software License Agreement, as applicable, all of the Escrowed Items will be released to Radiant if Enterprise fails to comply with all or substantially all of its support obligations to all Customers and all Legacy Clients under this Agreement for a period of 7 consecutive days;
(b) the Application Code will be released to Radiant upon written request to the Escrow Agent;
(c) if the Escrow Agent is required to release any portion of the Escrowed Items to a Legacy Client or Customer, subject to the applicable dispute resolution procedure, if any, set forth in the applicable Legacy Contract, Software License Agreement, or related escrow agreement, such portion of the Escrowed Items shall be released to the applicable Legacy Client or Customer, as the case may be, and Radiant.
For the avoidance of doubt, Radiant acknowledges and agrees that the Platform Code shall not be released, under any circumstances, to Customers (unless expressly permitted by the Software License Terms, in which case, subsection (iii)(c) shall govern).
Page 29
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Application Code is released or has previously been released to Radiant pursuant to subsection (iii)(b) above, any portion of the Escrowed Items is requested to be released by a Legacy Client or Customer pursuant to subsection (iii)(c) above, and Radiant uses the Application Code to provide support and maintenance services for such Legacy Client or Customer, then (1) the applicable dispute resolution procedure in the Escrow Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the fact that Radiant is providing support and maintenance services to such Legacy Client or Customer, (2) Enterprise shall not be required to perform Legacy Services (with respect to any such Legacy Client) or any support, maintenance or other services (with respect to any such Customer) while Radiant is providing support and maintenance services to such Legacy Client or Customer, and (3) Radiant shall pay Enterprise all fees with respect to such services as if Enterprise were in fact performing such services; provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined that the portion of the Escrowed Items was properly released pursuant to the applicable Legacy Contract, Software License Agreement or applicable escrow agreement, then Enterprise will reimburse Radiant for all such fees paid to Enterprise during the period that such services were not being performed by Enterprise. Additionally, Radiant shall pay Enterprise all fees with respect to support and maintenance services performed for a Legacy Client or Customer by Radiant using the Application Code, unless Enterprise has failed to comply with all or substantially all of its support obligations with respect to such Legacy Client or Customer for a period of 30 consecutive days, and such failure constitutes a material breach under the applicable Legacy Contract or Software License Agreement, including any applicable cure periods.
(v) The parties agree that the following additional terms shall apply to the escrow of the Escrowed Items or portion thereof, the release of Escrowed Items or portion thereof, and the use of the Escrowed Items or portion thereof upon release: (1) if Escrow Agent is required to release Escrowed Items pursuant to subsection (iii)(c) above, only the portion of the Escrowed Items that is required to be released pursuant to the applicable escrow agreement and that affects the applicable Legacy Client or Customer, as the case may be, shall be released (unless the applicable Legacy Contract, Software License Agreement or escrow agreement expressly provides otherwise); (2) Radiant or such other beneficiary of the Escrowed Items or portion thereof will maintain the confidentiality of the Escrowed Items or portion thereof in accordance with Section 19 below; (3) Radiant or such other beneficiary (subject to the terms and conditions to which such other beneficiary is subject) shall be required to return to escrow the Escrowed Items or portion thereof and all modifications thereof promptly to Enterprise upon Enterprise reasonably establishing that the circumstances that triggered the release of the Escrowed Items or portion thereof have been resolved, removed or alleviated; and (4) Escrow Agent shall reasonably permit an independent third party engaged by Radiant and approved in writing by Enterprise (which approval will not unreasonably be withheld), which independent third party shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Enterprise, to ensure that the Source Code initially deposited into escrow by Enterprise pursuant to this Agreement and any Upgrades are deposited into escrow; provided, however, that such independent third party must be accompanied by a representative of Enterprise and such review of Source Code shall only be available for the sole purpose of showing that the Source Code, when compiled, results in Executable Code for the applicable Enterprise Product or Upgrade.
Page 30
Radiant, on a time and materials basis (subject to the applicable discount set forth on Exhibit N), will train Enterprise on modifications made by Radiant to the Escrowed Items or portion thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 12 and Section 4.4(iv), Enterprise hereby grants Radiant a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable and limited license to use the Escrowed Items or portion thereof, when released, solely for the purpose of providing support and maintenance services to Legacy Clients or Customers, as the case may be, pursuant to Legacy Contracts or Software License Agreements. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Radiant agrees that it shall not use the Source Code as a means for substituting itself as the provider of Level 3 support and maintenance services to customers or Legacy Clients except as expressly provided in this Section 12.
13. ADDITIONAL TRAINING. Radiant agrees to undertake such training that Enterprise reasonably determines is necessary for Radiant to be an authorized reseller of the Enterprise Products (other than the Tools), Hosting Services and Complementary Services. Enterprise agrees that all such training requirements shall be reasonable in light of the circumstances at the time and shall not be arbitrary or capricious. Enterprise will charge its then-current professional services rates subject to the discount set forth in Exhibit N for any such training.
14. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY ENTERPRISE.
14.1 Software Support Services. Enterprise and Radiant will provide the support services in accordance with the obligations set forth on Exhibit P; provided, however, that such support shall only be required to be provided by Enterprise to or with respect to Customers that are entitled to receive support services and with respect to which Enterprise has been paid all applicable support and maintenance services fees.

All requests for development services shall be submitted to Enterprise in writing. Upon receipt of the request, Enterprise shall either reject the request in writing or provide Radiant with a “Statement of Work” outlining the deliverables and the fees and payment terms for the requested development services. Development services will be performed at Enterprise’s then-current professional services rates after applying the applicable discount set forth on Exhibit N or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Radiant and Enterprise. Enterprise’s obligation to provide the development services shall not arise until an authorized representative of Radiant executes and returns the unmodified Statement of Work to Enterprise. The Statement of Work shall include, if applicable, the following: (i) scope of work to be performed; (ii) description of services; (iii) performance standards and criteria; (iv) a timetable; (v) deadlines or other milestones or criteria for performance; (vi) testing processes; (vii) resources to be provided by each party; (viii) fee structure and rates; and (ix) description of functionality to be added to the Software.

All requests for Enhancements other than those included in a generally released Upgrade shall be submitted to Enterprise in the form of a request for development services, as described in Section 14.3 above, which shall be subject to Enterprise’s acceptance, in its sole discretion. Radiant shall not provide an Upgrade or Enhancement to a Customer or Legacy Client unless the Customer or Legacy Client has a right to receive such Upgrade pursuant to the applicable Software License Agreement or Legacy Contract, as the case may be, and Enterprise has received all amounts required to be paid by or with respect to such Customer or Legacy Client under the applicable Software License Agreement, Legacy Contract (or other applicable agreement) or this Agreement, as the case may be.

Losses, including, without limitation, Losses resulting from penalties, required rebates, holdbacks, forfeitures, or other payments due, arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Strategic Legacy Contract.
For purposes of this Section 18.3(iii), the following definitions shall apply:
“Pro Rata Losses” shall mean:
(x) with respect to Enterprise, the amount of any Losses, including, without limitation, Losses resulting from penalties, required rebates, holdbacks, forfeitures or other payments due, arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Strategic Legacy Contract multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Enterprise Revenue, and the denominator of which is the Total Revenue, and
(y) with respect to Radiant, the amount of any Losses, including, without limitation, Losses resulting from penalties, required rebates, holdbacks, forfeitures or other payments due, arising out of, relating to or resulting from any Strategic Legacy Contract multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Radiant Revenue and the denominator of which is the Total Revenue.
“Enterprise Revenue” shall mean, as of the date the determination of Pro Rata Losses must be made, all amounts received by Enterprise, after the Effective Date, pursuant to or under the applicable Strategic Legacy Contract.
“Radiant Revenue” shall mean, as of the date the determination of Pro Rata Losses must be made, all amounts received by Radiant, before or after the Effective Date, pursuant to or under the applicable Strategic Legacy Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree and understand that Radiant Revenue shall not be reduced to the extent Radiant has paid any amounts to Strategic Legacy Clients for any reason.
“Total Revenue” shall mean, as of the date the determination of Pro Rata Losses must be made, the sum of Enterprise Revenue and Radiant Revenue.
For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the allocation of liability provisions set forth in Section 18.3(iii) shall apply to each Strategic Legacy Contract, whether or not such Strategic Legacy Contract is assigned to Enterprise, in whole or in part, prior to, on or after the Effective Date.
18.4 Indemnification Procedures. In the event either party is entitled to indemnification (an “Indemnitee”) from the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to the terms of Section 18, with respect to which such Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification thereunder, the Indemnitee and Indemnifying Party shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 18.4. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any claim with respect to which such Indemnitee may be entitled to receive
Page 37
payment from the Indemnifying Party for any Losses, or to which the Indemnitee believes it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim in writing. No delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially harmed by such delay or failure. Within 15 days following receipt of written notice from Indemnitee relating to any claim, but no later than five days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the Indemnifying Party shall notify Indemnitee in writing whether the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim (a “Notice of Election”). If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of such claim imposing any obligations or restrictions on Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After the Indemnifying Party has delivered a Notice of Election relating to any claim, if the Indemnifying Party performs its indemnification obligations as set forth in this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to Indemnitee for any litigation costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements and costs of investigation) directly incurred by Indemnitee in employing its own counsel in connection with the defense of that claim. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by Indemnitee in the settlement of any claim if (x) the Indemnifying Party has delivered a timely Notice of Election and such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, or (y) the time period within which to deliver a Notice of Election has not yet expired. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse Indemnitee for all such costs and expenses. Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigations, trial and defense of indemnified claims and any appeal arising therefrom.
19. NONDISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
19.1 Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” shall mean all ideas, concepts, techniques, know-how, technical or business information, or other information or material, in whatever form, received by one party to this Agreement from the other, that is either: (a) stamped or otherwise identified in writing as proprietary, (b) if orally disclosed, identified by the disclosing party as proprietary at the time of disclosure, or (c) other information that derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to others and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Proprietary Information shall include the Enterprise Products (including any Source Code delivered to the Agent under the Escrow Agreement), the Documentation and Software License Agreements.
Page 38
19.2 Covenant. Each party agrees to hold all Proprietary Information of the other party in strictest confidence and not to copy, reproduce, distribute, remanufacture, duplicate, reveal, publish, report, disclose, caused to be disclosed, or otherwise transfer any such Proprietary Information to any third party, except as authorized in this Agreement or otherwise in writing by the disclosing party, or utilize any such information for any purpose whatsoever other than specifically required under this Agreement, except that each party may disclose Proprietary Information of the other to its employees who have a specific need to know such information and who are advised of the confidential nature of the information and the provisions of this Section 19.2. Each party further acknowledges and agrees that the Proprietary Information of the other party is and shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of the other party, and in the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, for any reason, each party shall immediately return to the other party all Proprietary Information in its possession. The obligations of this Section 19 shall continue for the initial term and any renewal term of this Agreement and for a period of five years thereafter, except to the extent that the Proprietary Information disclosed rises to the level of a trade secret under applicable law, in which case, the obligations of this Section 19 shall continue for so long as such information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, “trade secrets” means Proprietary Information, without regard to form, which: (a) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
19.3 Exclusions. “Proprietary Information” shall not include any information which, as demonstrated by written documentation: (a) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement through no fault of the receiving party; (b) the receiving party can demonstrate was developed by the receiving party independently and without use of, or reference to, the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information; (c) the receiving party receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure obligation or was otherwise lawfully acquired from other sources by the receiving party; (d) this Agreement permits the use or disclosure of such Proprietary Information, or (e) is required to be disclosed in response to a valid court order, law, rule, regulation (including without limitation any securities exchange regulation), administrative process or other governmental action provided that (x) the disclosing party is promptly notified in writing prior to disclosure of the information, and (y) the receiving party assists the disclosing party, at the disclosing party’s expense, in any attempt by the other to limit or prevent the disclosure of the Proprietary Information.
19.4 General. Each party agrees that the other party will have no adequate remedy at law if there is a breach or threatened breach of this Section 19 and, accordingly, such other party will be entitled (in addition to any legal or equitable remedies available to such party) to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or remedy such breach. Upon the earlier request of the disclosing party, the receiving party shall (a) at its own expense, (i) promptly return to the disclosing party all information that is in tangible form (and all copies thereof) that is the property of the disclosing party (including pursuant to this Agreement) or that contains any Proprietary Information (collectively, the “Material Information”), or (ii) upon written request from the disclosing party, destroy such Material Information and provide the disclosing party with written certification of such destruction, and (b) cease all further use of any Material Information, whether in tangible or intangible form. Finally, the parties agree that the receiving
Page 39
party obtains no right, title, interest, or license in or to any of the Proprietary Information of the disclosing party except for the rights set forth in this Agreement.
20. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 25 of this Agreement, the parties agree that each party shall be entitled to obtain, without bond, declarations, temporary and permanent injunctions, and orders of specific performance, in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement relating to other party’s use of the Proprietary Information and trade secrets of such party, and the obligations of other party upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Such equitable relief may be sought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
21. GOVERNING LAW. All matters pertaining to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Except to the extent governed by the Federal Arbitration Act as required hereby or other than federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, which law shall prevail in the event of any conflict of law. The parties agree that all actions arising under this Agreement which may be litigated (as opposed to arbitrated) may be commenced only in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Xxxxxx County, Georgia. Both parties expressly agree that they are subject to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of such litigation.
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

SUBJECT TO SECTION 22.3 BELOW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OR LOSS OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM DELAY, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR RESULTING FROM THE ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS, OR THE HOSTING, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, OR OTHER SERVICES OR OBLIGATIONS TO BE PROVIDED BY EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING, AND WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL SURVIVE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT DESPITE ANY FAILURE OF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY DAMAGES AWARDED OR OBTAINED (WHETHER BY SETTLEMENT, COMPROMISE OR JUDGMENT) AS A RESULT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT.
22.2 LIMITATION OF REMEDIES.

RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS OR REPRESENTATIVES, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS, OR THE HOSTING, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, OR OTHER SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY ENTERPRISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (EXCLUDING FEES RECEIVED FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF LEGACY SERVICES OR THE SALE OF LICENSES FOR ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS TO LEGACY CLIENTS).

(iii) SUBJECT TO SECTION 22.3 BELOW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF ENTERPRISE, OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS OR REPRESENTATIVES, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF ENTERPRISE PRODUCT LICENSES OR HOSTING, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, OR OTHER SERVICES BY ENTERPRISE TO A RESELLER LEGACY CLIENT PURSUANT TO A SPECIFIC LEGACY CONTRACT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT RADIANT AND ENTERPRISE HAVE RECEIVED UNDER OR PURSUANT TO SUCH LEGACY CONTRACT (A) PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AS A RESULT OF PERFORMING HOSTING, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, AND OTHER SERVICES EXPRESSLY RELATED TO ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS, AND (B) FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AS A RESULT OF PERFORMING LEGACY SERVICES.

The limitation of liability in Section 22.1 and Section 22.2 above shall not apply to claims arising from a party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, a party’s indemnification obligations under Sections 18.1 and 18.2 of this Agreement (provided, however, that the limitation of liability set forth in Section 22.1 shall apply to indemnification claims under Section 18.2(ii) and 18.2(v)), to claims arising from breach of a party’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, to claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation under this Agreement, to claims based on the sale by Radiant of Enterprise Products outside the Market, or to claims arising from Radiant’s breach of its license to the Software.
23. TERMINATION.
23.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and will remain in effect for an initial term of three years (the “Initial Term”). Subject to Section 23.4, this Agreement shall automatically renew for a one-year term (the “First Renewal Term”) if, during the last year of the Initial Term, Radiant meets the Sales Criteria. Subject to Section 23.4, this Agreement shall automatically renew for one additional one-year term (the “Second Renewal Term”) if, during the First Renewal Term, Radiant meets the Sales Criteria during such First Renewal Term. If Radiant fails to meet the Sale Criteria during the applicable period, this Agreement may only be renewed upon the parties’ mutual written agreement to renew this Agreement, which agreement to renew may be withheld by either party in its sole discretion. Radiant acknowledges and understands that any such subsequent renewal may be predicated upon the parties’ development and agreement to a sales plan, which would establish annual sales volume targets for Radiant for sublicensing of the Software during each renewal term.
23.2 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon the other party’s material breach of any of the provisions herein, which breach has not been cured (a) in the case of non-payment, within 20 days of the breaching party’s receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party setting forth the amount due; or (b) in all other cases, within 30 days of the breaching party’s receipt of a written notice from the non-breaching party setting forth the nature of such breach (unless the breach, by its nature, is curable but incapable of being cured within such 30-day period, then, in that event, so long as the breaching party is diligently attempting to cure such breach, within a reasonable period after receipt of such notice). If, prior to the expiration of the applicable notice period, the breaching party cures such breach, termination shall not take place.
23.3 Termination for Certification Failure. Enterprise may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Radiant if Radiant at any time fails to comply with the Certification requirements, if applicable, of Section 3 hereof.
23.4 Competitive Offerings. If (a) (i) a Person that owns or has rights to a Competitive Offering (a “Competitor”) acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the legal, beneficial or equitable ownership of the capital stock of Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate; (ii) Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate sells all or substantially all of its assets to a Competitor; (iii) Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the legal, beneficial or equitable ownership of the capital stock of a Competitor; (iv) Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate acquires all or substantially all of the assets of a Competitor; (v) Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate
Page 42
acquires any line of business or other assets from a Competitor that includes a Competitive Offering; or (vi) Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate merges with or into, or is merged with or into, a Competitor (each such event hereinafter referred to as an “Acquisition”); and (b) Radiant or any Radiant Affiliate shall, at any time during the Initial Term, market, offer, commit to sell or sell any such Competitive Offering (other than, as reasonably necessary, to former clients of the Competitor), then the automatic renewal provision of Section 23.1 shall be inapplicable and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon expiration of the Initial Term. Following an Acquisition, Enterprise may terminate this Agreement during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term immediately upon written notice to Radiant if Radiant or a Radiant Affiliate markets, offers, commits to sell or sells any Competitive Offering acquired or obtained pursuant to such Acquisition.
23.5 Post-Termination Obligations.
(i) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Radiant shall immediately return to Enterprise all Enterprise property, including, but not limited to, all copies of the Enterprise Products, all Documentation relating thereto and all demonstration systems, except that Radiant may retain such copies to the extent necessary for and during the limited duration of Radiant’s post-termination obligations under existing license, service, support, and maintenance agreements, as set forth below. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall automatically accelerate the due date of all undisputed invoices and any other monies due from one party to the other, which shall become immediately due and payable on the effective date of termination or expiration. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect Enterprise’s or Radiant’s existing obligations under contractual arrangements with Customers such that, among other things, Enterprise Product licenses then-granted to Customers shall continue on the terms thereof; provided, however, that all other business granted herein shall expire and terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. Additionally, termination hereof shall not affect Enterprise’s obligation to continue to provide Legacy Services. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the provisions of this Agreement providing for the payment of fees to either party, protection of the parties’ proprietary rights, limited express warranties, limitations of liability, and other provisions of this Agreement concerning the ongoing interests of the parties, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 1, 4.4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36 and 39, shall continue and survive in full force and effect.
(ii) During the period commencing as of notice of termination and ending as of three months after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Enterprise will provide transition assistance to the Customers for the transition of the Customers’ data from the Software to the Customers’ computer system of another technology solution provider, as reasonably requested by the Customers. Enterprise may charge for such assistance at then-current rates on a time and materials basis discounted by the amounts set forth on Exhibit N. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Enterprise shall have no obligation to provide such transition assistance to Customers if (a) Radiant is delinquent in the payment of any undisputed monies due to Enterprise hereunder, (b) Radiant is in material breach or default of any obligation under this Agreement, or (c)
Page 43
with respect to any individual Customer, such Customer is in breach or default of any of the Software License Terms.
24. DISPUTE HANDLING. Radiant and Enterprise shall endeavor to resolve any dispute, whether arising during the term or at any time thereafter which involves the validity, construction, meaning, performance, termination, expiration or effect of this Agreement, or the rights or liabilities of the parties, promptly and in an amicable and professional manner by negotiations between the parties. Enterprise will not withhold any services as a means of resolving any dispute. Except for fees withheld because they are disputed in good faith by Radiant, Radiant will not withhold payment of any monies due Enterprise hereunder as a means of resolving any dispute.
25. ARBITRATION. Any dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to the exception in Section 20, shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the following:
(i) Except as specified below or otherwise agreed in writing, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or any successor association including, without limitation, the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection (such organization, the “AAA” and such rules, the “AAA Rules”);
(ii) The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a panel of three arbitrators. Unless otherwise agreed in writing to have the dispute resolved by a single arbitrator, Enterprise and Radiant shall each select one arbitrator (who is knowledgeable and familiar and has at least ten years of experience with the information technology industry and contract law), who shall then jointly select a third. All arbitrators shall be neutral, impartial and independent;
(iii) Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of the procedures outlined herein, including any contention that all or part of such procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrator(s);
(iv) Any demand for arbitration or any counterclaim shall specify in reasonable detail the facts and legal grounds forming the basis for the claimant’s request for relief, and shall include a statement of the total amount of damages claimed, if any, and any other remedy sought by the claimant;
(v) Upon request of either party, and in the arbitrator(s) discretion, the parties shall be entitled to limited pre-hearing discovery including depositions of testifying witnesses, exchanges of documents and lists of testifying witnesses, and written interrogatories. The arbitrator(s) shall conduct a hearing within 30 days (or such longer time period as the parties may mutually agree) after the end of discovery and shall issue an award, supported by written opinion, within 30 days after the end of the hearing (or such longer time period as the parties may mutually agree);
Page 44
(vi) Any award made shall be accompanied by findings of fact and a statement of reasons for the decision;
(vii) All parties will use their best efforts to conclude the arbitration within thirty (30) days from the commencement of arbitration. In the event that any party fails to appear at any properly noticed arbitration proceeding, an award may be entered against such party by default or otherwise, notwithstanding that failure to appear;
(viii) Each party shall bear the cost of securing its selected arbitrator (or shall share the cost of a single arbitrator equally), with the costs of the third arbitrator and the proceeding itself shared equally between the parties;
(ix) All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties or the arbitrator(s) may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interests;
(x) The result of the arbitration will be binding on the parties, and judgment on the arbitrator(s)’ award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction;
(xi) Each party is required to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or connected to this Agreement.
26. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that either party may freely assign this Agreement (i) in connection with a merger or the sale of all or substantially all of such party’s assets, stock or securities, or (ii) to any third party that acquires all of the assets of the division of a party that manages or controls the performance of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
27. INDEPENDENT PRINCIPALS. Enterprise and Radiant are independent principals in all actions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed to create or authorize any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship, nor to authorize either party hereto to make any commitment or agreement binding on the other party hereto, without such other party’s prior written consent. Neither party hereto shall act as an agent of the other, and neither Enterprise nor Radiant shall guarantee or become in any way responsible for the obligations, debts or expenses of the other. The conduct of each party’s business shall be determined by its own independent business judgment and discretion, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, each party acknowledges that as independent contractors, neither it nor its employees are covered under the other party’s workers’ compensation insurance or unemployment insurance coverage.
28. AUDIT. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, Enterprise, or its designee, shall have the right to inspect Radiant’s books and records and reasonably perform other evaluations of Radiant’s performance hereunder to verify
Page 45
Radiant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to ensure that Radiant maintains uniformity and high quality standards in distributing and supporting the Software. Such audits shall take place during normal business hours, upon two days advance notice to Radiant. Enterprise shall not disclose to third parties any Proprietary Information or trade secrets of Radiant that may be determined in the course of such audit, other than as may be necessary to enforce this Agreement. Radiant agrees to retain all records and information relevant to any such audits and Radiant’s performance hereunder for a period of five years after termination of this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two years thereafter, Radiant shall have the right to inspect Enterprise’s books and records and reasonably perform other evaluations solely to verify Enterprise’s compliance with Section 5.12 and Enterprise’s obligation to provide the Legacy Services. Such audits shall take place during normal business hours, upon two days advance notice to Enterprise. Radiant shall not disclose to third parties any Proprietary Information or trade secrets of Enterprise that may be determined in the course of such audit, other than as may be necessary to enforce this Agreement. Enterprise agrees to retain all records and information relevant to any such audits and Enterprise’s performance hereunder for a period of five years after termination of this Agreement.
29. INSOLVENCY. No Person other than Radiant shall have or acquire any right(s) licensed to Radiant hereunder by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors or reorganization proceedings, or any receivership or other such similar legal process, either under attachment, execution or otherwise, or in any manner whatsoever growing out of any proceeding or suit, without the prior written consent of Enterprise. No Person other than Enterprise shall have or acquire any right(s) licensed to Enterprise hereunder (other than with respect to the Epsilon Code) by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors or reorganization proceedings, or any receivership or other such similar legal process, either under attachment, execution or otherwise, or in any manner whatsoever growing out of any proceeding or suit, without the prior written consent of Radiant; provided, however, that any Person that acquires any interest in the Epsilon Code pursuant to this paragraph shall use such interest only to provide support to Alltel. In the event of any such proceeding being had or taken by or against Radiant or any assignee or successor in interest of Radiant under any provision of law, or for the involuntary winding up of Radiant or any assignee or successor in interest of Radiant, without such proceeding being dismissed or such levies released within 60 days therefrom, Enterprise shall have the option of terminating this Agreement immediately. In the event of any proceedings to wind up or dissolve Radiant or any assignee or successor in interest of Radiant, Enterprise shall have the option of terminating this Agreement immediately.

31. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder: (i) if and to the extent that such default or delay arises out of causes beyond its reasonable control, including default or delay of the other party, acts of God, acts of war, acts of governmental authority, acts of public enemy, insurrection, floods, fires, terrorism and riots (each, a “Force Majeure Event”); and (ii) provided such default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of alternative sources, work-around plans or other means. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, each party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligations affected so long as such circumstances caused by the Force Majeure Event prevail and the parties use their reasonable efforts to promptly recommence performance or observance of said obligations. The party claiming excuse by Force Majeure so affected in its performance will immediately notify the other by telephone to be confirmed in writing within five days of the inception of the Force Majeure Event and describe at a reasonable level the detail of the circumstances causing such delay. A Force Majeure Event will not relieve either party’s payment obligations hereunder except to the extent banking services are interrupted during the Force Majeure Event.
32. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Enterprise and Radiant will comply with all applicable international, national, state, regional and local laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, in performing their respective duties hereunder and in any of their dealings with respect to the Enterprise Products.
Page 47
33. COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. EXPORT LAWS. Radiant shall comply with all applicable laws concerning the exporting, importing and re-exporting of the Enterprise Products, including, without limitation, the export control laws of the United States of America and prevailing regulations which may be issued from time to time.
34. WAIVER. Neither party shall, by mere lapse of time without giving notice or taking other action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
