reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. Radiant agrees to take all
reasonable steps to ensure that the TriYumf Documentation is not disclosed to
any Person other than its employees, contractors or agents who have a need for
access in order to use them; and not to remove the copyright, trade secret or
other proprietary protection legends or notices which appear on or in the
TriYumf Documentation, if any. If Radiant receives knowledge of any
unauthorized use of the TriYumf Documentation, Radiant agrees that it shall
promptly notify Tricon of, and shall otherwise cooperate with Tricon in trying
to prevent, such unauthorized use or copying of the TriYumf Documentation.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no express or implied license
or right of any kind is granted to Radiant regarding the TriYumf Documentation,
including, but not limited to, any right to know, use, produce, receive,
reproduce, market, sell, distribute, transfer, translate, modify or adapt the
TriYumf Documentation, or create derivative works based upon the TriYumf
Documentation, or any portions thereof. Radiant's employees, contractors and
agents are permitted to use the TriYumf Documentation in accordance with this

4.4 Subject to each party's confidentiality obligations under Article 15
----------
of the Alliance Agreement but notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Radiant may use Residuals for any purpose including
without limitation use in development, manufacture, promotion, sale and
maintenance of its products and services; provided that this right to Residuals
does not represent a license under any valid patent, copyright or other
intellectual property right of Tricon. The term "Residuals" means any
information, ideas, concepts, know-how, inventions or techniques that are
retained in the unaided memories of Radiant's employees, representatives and
contractors who have had access to Tricon's information, ideas, concepts, know-
how, inventions or techniques pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An
employee's, representative's or contractor's memory is unaided if such employee,
representative or contractor has not intentionally memorized the information,
ideas, concepts, know-how, inventions or techniques for the purpose of retaining
and subsequently using or disclosing the information, ideas, concepts, know-how,
inventions or techniques. Radiant shall not have any obligation to restrict or
limit the assignment of its employees, representatives or contractors or pay any
royalties to the other party for any work resulting from the use of Residuals.
5. Consideration For the TriYumf Asset.
-----------------------------------
5.1 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this
Agreement, in consideration for the TriYumf Asset and in full payment therefor,
Radiant will pay, or cause to be paid to Tricon, the Purchase Price set forth
below. The Purchase Price for the TriYumf Asset shall be the sum of (i)
***Dollars ($***) in cash paid according to the Cash Component Payment Schedule
attached as Appendix 2 ("Cash Component") and (ii) *** Dollars ($***) payable
----------
upon Tricon's Acceptance and Rollout of the Software and fulfillment of its
Total TCSC, as more fully described in Section 5.2 ("Performance Component").
-----------
The parties acknowledge and agree that the Cash Component Payment Schedule has
been structured to yield a net present value ("Net Present Value") of ***
Dollars ($***) to Tricon in respect of the Cash Component of the Purchase Price
(based on an agreed upon discount rate of *** percent (***%)). Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement or on Appendix 2 to the contrary, in the
----------
event that Radiant pre-pays all or any portion of the Cash Component of the
Purchase Price, the pre-paid payments (and/or any remaining payments) will be
adjusted downward so that the Net Present Value (based upon a *** percent (***%)
discount rate) in respect of the Cash Component of the Purchase Price is
unchanged. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in connection with any such
adjustment to the Cash Component Payment Schedule.
5.2 Radiant agrees to pay Tricon the Performance Component based upon
Tricon's Acceptance and Rollout of the Software. Radiant's payment of the
Performance Component will be made on a pro rata basis equal to the percentage
of the Total TCSC that are committed to pay for the Software pursuant to the
Alliance Agreement. Tricon acknowledges and agrees that the payment of the
Performance Component, or any portion thereof, is conditioned on Tricon
supporting Radiant's marketing and sales

*** Denotes information that has been omitted from this Exhibit pursuant to a
confidential treatment request filed with the Commission.
4
efforts for its Software. This support includes, but is not limited to, Tricon
and Tricon Affiliates appearing in Radiant's marketing material, annual reports
and advertisements, providing verbal and written references for the Software,
and use reasonable efforts to distribute reasonable promotional materials on
Radiant's behalf to Eligible Recipients. Additionally, subject to parts (i)-
(iii) below, Tricon shall permit Radiant to reference Tricon in one or more
press releases highlighting major milestones associated with Tricon's use of the
Software. Tricon recognizes that these activities are important for Radiant to
achieve the anticipated value associated with the purchase of the TriYumf Asset.
Radiant will (i) give Tricon appropriate lead time for these activities, (ii)
not create an unreasonable burden upon Tricon, Tricon Affiliates or its or their
employees, and (iii) not use any name, logo, service xxxx, trademark or logotype
of Tricon or Tricon Affiliates in any marketing or promotional materials, or in
connection with any publicity, without the prior written consent of Tricon. The
parties' compliance with the aforementioned obligations, and the parties'
dealings with each other in connection therewith, will be assessed by Tricon and
Radiant at each quarterly executive meeting between the parties.
5.3 As security for Radiant's obligation to pay the Cash Component of the
Purchase Price, Radiant agrees to cause an irrevocable one-year standby letter
of credit to be issued in favor of Tricon as beneficiary, in the face amount and
on the issuance date set forth on Appendix 2, to be reduced pursuant to the
----------
reduction schedule set forth in Appendix 2 ( "Letter of Credit") and in the form
----------
set forth in Appendix 3 of this Agreement. The Letter of Credit will be issued
----------
by a bank rated single "A" or better. The Letter of Credit will contain draw
instructions mutually satisfactory to the parties, which will include the
following conditions to Tricon's right to draw on the Letter of Credit: (a)
Radiant's failure to pay the Cash Component of the Purchase Price in accordance
with the Cash Component Payment Schedule; (b) Tricon's compliance with the
notice and cure provisions set forth in this Section 5.3; and (c) such other
-----------
conditions as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Tricon agrees that
it will not under any circumstances draw or attempt to draw on the Letter of
Credit prior to giving Radiant thirty (30) days written notice and an
opportunity to cure any failure to pay any portion of the Cash Component of the
Purchase Price in accordance with the Cash Component Payment Schedule.
5.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein or on Appendix 2 to the
----------
contrary, in the event of the termination of the Alliance Agreement for any
reason (a "Termination Event"), Radiant's aggregate liability for the unpaid
balance of the Purchase Price at the time of termination shall not under any
circumstances exceed the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Accordingly, upon
the occurrence of a Termination Event, Tricon agrees to forever release and
discharge Radiant from any further obligation to pay any further portion of the
Purchase Price in excess of the face amount of the then-outstanding Letter of
Credit.
6. Tricon's Taxes. Tricon will bear and pay all transaction taxes including
--------------
but not limited to sales, use, value added, excise, ad valorem, stamp,
transfer, and other similar taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of
the TriYumf Asset and shall indemnify and hold Radiant harmless against all such
taxes.

11.5 Entire Agreement, Counterparts. This Agreement and the Appendices
------------------------------
hereto set forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, and communications, whether oral

This Agreement and the Appendices shall only be amended in a writing signed by

entering into this Agreement solely on the basis of the agreements and
representations contained herein, and for its own purposes and not for the
benefit of any third party. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
11.6 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be
------------
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the other terms or provisions hereof or
the whole of this Agreement, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified
to the extent necessary in the court's opinion to render such term or provision
enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the
original intentions and agreements and economic positions of the parties herein
set forth.
12. Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties arising out of or
-----------
relating to this Agreement that is not resolved through negotiation and not
subject to the litigation exception in Section 13, shall be settled exclusively
----------
by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the following:
10
(a) Except as specified below or otherwise agreed in writing, the
arbitration shall be conducted 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");
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a panel of three
(3) arbitrators. Unless otherwise agreed in writing to have the dispute
resolved by a single arbitrator, Tricon 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. No potential arbitrator may serve on the panel
unless he or she has agreed in writing to abide and be bound by the
procedures outlined in this Section 12 (the "Procedures");
----------
(c) Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to
arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or
enforceability of the Procedures, including any contention that all or part
of the Procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrator(s);
(d) 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;
(e) upon the 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 thirty (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
thirty (30) days after the end of the hearing (or such longer time period
as the parties may mutually agree);
(f) Any award made shall be accompanied by findings of fact and a
statement of reasons for the decision. The arbitrator(s) shall not be
authorized to award damages or relief of a type not consistent with the
terms of this Agreement or in amounts that exceed the limitation of
liability in Section 12.2 of the Alliance Agreement. In no event, even if
------------
any other portion of these provisions is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, shall the arbitrators have power to make an award or impose
a remedy that could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter
in the same jurisdiction. Subject to the preceding sentence, the
arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award relief based on their
application of the parties' rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, requiring a party to comply with
the terms of this Agreement and including all remedies available at law as
limited by this Agreement; provided,
11
however, such damage award or other relief is not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement and provided further, that the arbitrator(s) shall
not have the power to award equitable relief of any sort (except to require
compliance with the terms of this Agreement);
(g) 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
