respect to Products resold by EDS hereunder, as Chordiant extends to
other end user customers.
(d) The term of agreements, warranties and indemnities extended by
Chordiant to an ITS Customer shall commence upon delivery of a Product
to an ITS Customer and the ITS Customer shall be governed by
Chordiant's then current End User Software License Agreement, which

[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

(e) Chordiant shall make available to ITS Customers all training,
technical support and other services related to the Products that are

Chordiant to other end user customers.
(f) During the term that EDS is providing services to an ITS Customer, EDS
shall have authorized access to Licensed Software acquired under this
Section 3.6, in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit F, titled

3.7 Time and Materials Services. If available from Chordiant, EDS may
---------------------------
obtain on a time and materials basis from Chordiant consulting, development
and other Services (excluding support Services which are provided pursuant
to other sections of this Agreement) agreed upon by the parties in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below.
(a) EDS may reasonably request on a purchase order the number and skill
levels of Employees to perform Services.
(b) During the course of performance of Services, EDS may request
replacement of an Employee or a proposed Employee. In such event,
Chordiant shall use best efforts to provide, within five (5) working
days of receipt of such request from EDS, a substitute Employee of
sufficient skill, knowledge, and training to perform the applicable
Services. If, after use of best efforts, Chordiant is unable to
provide such substitute Employee, EDS may, at its sole option, retain
the Services of said unacceptable Employee until such time as
Chordiant provides an acceptable substitute Employee. If, within the
first thirty (30) days after an Employee's commencement of Services,
EDS notifies Chordiant (i) such Employee's level of performance is
unacceptable, (ii) such Employee has failed to perform as required, or
(iii) such Employee, in EDS' sole opinion, lacks the skill, knowledge
or training to perform at the required level, then EDS shall not be
required to pay for Services provided by such Employee during such
period and Chordiant shall refund to EDS all amounts paid for such
Employee's Services; however, EDS shall pay for any Work Product
created by said Employee which EDS continues to use after the
replacement of said Employee and if EDS decides to retain the services
of said Employee because no acceptable substitute has been made
available, then EDS shall pay for any services performed after the
date of notice to Chordiant at a discounted rate mutually agreed to by
the parties. If EDS requests replacement of an Employee for the above-
referenced reasons after such thirty (30) day time period, or at any
time for a reason other than the reasons indicated above, EDS shall
not be required to pay for, and shall be entitled to a refund of, any
sums paid to Chordiant for such Employee's Services after the date of
EDS' requested replacement of such Employee.
(c) Chordiant shall not replace, without EDS' consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), an Employee then currently
performing Services, for which the Employee is uniquely qualified,
this includes but is not limited to: (i) EDS has provided training to
said Employee to enable them to perform the Service, or (ii) EDS
specifically requested and Chordiant agreed to provide said Employee
to perform the Service; until the governing Purchase Order expires or
is terminated; however, Chordiant may replace, without EDS' consent,
an Employee for reasons relating to the Employee's termination with
Chordiant, promotion, demotion, illness, death, or causes beyond
Chordiant's control.
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
6
(d) EDS shall reimburse Chordiant for reasonable expenses incurred by
Employees in the performance of Services (if requested by EDS or
requested by Chordiant in advance and approved by EDS) which are
related to travel, lodging, and meals; such expenses shall be
reimbursed in accordance with EDS' guidelines for its own employees.
(e) Chordiant shall establish and shall retain, for a period of three (3)
years following the performance of time and materials Services,
records which adequately substantiate the applicability and accuracy
of Charges for such Services and related expenses to EDS. Upon
receipt of thirty (30) days advance notice from EDS, Chordiant shall
produce such records for audit by EDS subject to the confidentiality
provisions of this Agreement.
(f) Purchase Orders for Services provided or to be provided under this
Section may be canceled at any time without charge or penalty, upon
five (5) business days advance written notice to Chordiant, provided
that EDS shall pay for Services already performed prior to the
effective date of such notice.
3.8 Services in General. In connection with the performance of any
-------------------
Services pursuant to this Agreement:
(a) Unless a specific number of Employees is set forth in the governing
Purchase Order, Chordiant warrants it will provide sufficient
Employees to complete the Services ordered within the applicable time
frames established pursuant to this Agreement or as set forth in such
Purchase Order; however, it shall be considered an excused delay if
EDS changes the technical specifications associated with such
Services, then EDS and Chordiant shall set new time frames based upon
such changed technical specifications.
(b) Chordiant warrants that Employees shall have sufficient skill,
knowledge, and training to perform Services and that the Services
shall be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner.
(c) Employees performing Services in the United States must be United
States citizens or lawfully admitted in the United States for
permanent residence or lawfully admitted in the United States holding
a visa authorizing the performance of Services on behalf of Chordiant.
(d) Chordiant warrants that all Employees utilized by Chordiant in
performing Services are under a written obligation to Chordiant
requiring Employee: (i) to maintain the confidentiality of information
of Chordiant's customers, and (ii) if such Employee is not a full-time
employee whose work is considered a "work for hire" under Section 101
of the United States Copyright Code, to assign all of Employee's
right, title, and interest to Chordiant in and to any Work Product
which is developed, prepared, conceived, made, or suggested by such
Employee while providing Services on behalf of Chordiant.
(e) Chordiant shall require Employees providing Services at an EDS
location to comply with applicable EDS security and safety regulations
and policies.
(f) Chordiant shall provide for and pay the compensation of Employees and
shall pay all taxes, contributions, and benefits (such as, but not
limited to, workers' compensation benefits) which an employer is
required to pay relating to the employment of employees. EDS shall not
be liable to Chordiant or to any Employee for Chordiant's failure to
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
7
perform its compensation, benefit, or tax obligations. Chordiant
shall indemnify, defend and hold EDS harmless from and against all
such taxes, contributions and benefits and will comply with all
associated governmental regulations, including the filing of all
necessary reports and returns.
(g) Chordiant shall allow EDS or its designated third party to conduct a
background investigation and drug screening ("Investigation"), in
accordance with applicable law, of any Employee performing Services
in the United States, Canada and Mexico if EDS intends to provide
the Employee with unescorted access to an EDS location. If an
Employee declines such Investigation, the parties agree such
Employee will not be allowed unescorted access to an EDS location;
furthermore, Chordiant will contact other Employees with suitable
training to see if they will agree to such Investigation. It will
not be a breach of this Agreement if Chordiant has used reasonable
efforts to request such Investigation of all suitable Employees and
Chordiant is unable to supply a suitable Employee willing to undergo
such Investigation. In connection with such Investigation EDS shall
provide to Chordiant a standard form authorizing the Investigation
and Chordiant shall promptly secure the completion of such form by
the Employee. Any and all information obtained in connection with an
Investigation of any Employee or acquired or made known during such
Investigation shall be deemed confidential and shall not be revealed
to persons without a bona fide need to know. If, after reviewing the
results of an Investigation, EDS elects not to accept an Employee
for performance of Services under this Agreement, Chordiant agrees
to not utilize such Employee in the performance of Services. EDS
shall waive the Investigation for an Employee if Chordiant provides
EDS with written confirmation that: (i) Chordiant has conducted a
background and drug screening investigation of such Employee with
satisfactory results, or (ii) the Employee has been employed with
Chordiant for at least five (5) years in good standing.
3.9 Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights. (a) For purposes of this
-----------------------------------------
Agreement, the following definitions apply:
(i) "Work Product(s)" means (in any form including Source Code) any and
all processes, methods, formulas, manufacturing techniques, mask
works, reports, programs, manuals, software, flowcharts and systems
and any improvements, enhancements, or modifications to any of the
foregoing, which are developed, prepared, conceived, or made by any
Employee or by Chordiant as part of, in connection with, or in
relationship to the performance of Services (except in connection
with Chordiant's performance of warranty Service obligations or
pre-paid support Services) pursuant to this Agreement. Work Products
also means all such developments as are originated or conceived
during the term of this Agreement but are completed or reduced to
practice thereafter.
(ii) "Existing Materials" means any confidential or proprietary materials
which belong to third parties or in which Chordiant has a
pre-existing intellectual property interest.
(iii) "Ownership Rights" includes: (A) all rights, title and interests,
and all United States and foreign intellectual property rights such
as, but not limited to, patent, trade secret, and copyright; (B) the
right to use, duplicate, and disclose Work Products and Work Product

register ownership interest in a Work Product without contest or
assertion of a competing ownership interest in such Work Product by
another party; and, (G) all "moral rights" in and to Work Products.
(b) Chordiant shall disclose promptly and cause Employees to disclose
promptly in writing to EDS all Work Products; as to each such
disclosure, such Employee and/or Chordiant shall specifically describe

(c) It is the intent of the parties that EDS shall have all Ownership
Rights in and to Work Products; however, if Chordiant desires
ownership in Work Product, it must be mutually agreed upon in writing
by the parties. In order to accomplish such intent, Chordiant (i)
shall make and shall ensure that each Employee makes, without
reservation, a non-terminable, irrevocable assignment to EDS of any
and all Ownership Rights that Employees and/or Chordiant may have in
or to such Work Product or any tangible media embodying such Work
Product, and (ii) shall provide to EDS and shall ensure that each
Employee provides such assignment prior to or concurrently with the
provision of the affected Work Product to EDS. If Chordiant and/or
Employees have any termination rights under law, then upon exercise of
such termination rights, Chordiant shall automatically grant and
Chordiant shall ensure that Employee grants, and EDS shall have an
irrevocable, royalty-free, paid-up, worldwide, perpetual license to
use the Work Product in the same manner, and for the same purposes as
EDS did and was entitled to do prior to such termination. Except as
necessary to perform Services or as agreed upon by the parties in a
supplemental agreement entered into in accordance with this Agreement,
Chordiant and Employees shall not exercise any Ownership Rights in and
to the Work Product, and hereby waive and agree not to assert any or
all "moral rights" in and to the Work Product, even after the
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, EDS shall have no Ownership
Rights with respect to any underlying ideas or concepts provided by
Chordiant during the performance of Services.

the performance of warranty Service obligations or pre-paid support
Services), Chordiant shall: (i) notify EDS of such intent prior to
commencement of performance of Services; (ii) identify to EDS the ownership
of such Existing Materials; (iii) describe the use to which Chordiant
intends to put such Existing Materials; and (iv) explain Chordiant's
ability to proceed with performance of the Services without the use of such
Existing Materials. EDS may require that Chordiant perform Services without
the use of such Existing Materials. If any such Existing Material is owned
by a third party and/or is used in the performance of Services, Chordiant
warrants that it has acquired all licenses and authorizations necessary to
utilize the Existing Material in the manner and for the purpose intended by
Chordiant in its actual use of such Existing Material in the performance of
Services. To the extent that Existing Materials are incorporated in Work
Products, Chordiant grants to EDS and its Affiliates a royalty-free,
irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual right to use, modify and
prepare derivative

-------------------------------------------
4.1 Acceptance of Licensed Software. EDS shall accept delivered copy(ies) of
-------------------------------
the Licensed Software on the date (the "Acceptance Date") when necessary
Documentation has been received and (i) the Licensed Software performs in
accordance with and/or conforms to its Applicable Specifications, (ii) the
Licensed Software is used in a production environment, or (iii) on the
ninetieth (90th) day after receipt of the Licensed Software by EDS,
whichever occurs first. If, within such ninety (90) day period, EDS
determines that the Licensed Software does not so perform and/or conform,
EDS shall so notify Chordiant in writing and Chordiant shall have thirty
(30) days from receipt of such notice to correct any non-conforming and/or
non-performing features. If, after such thirty (30) day cure period, EDS

exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of United States
or other applicable law.
(xi) A provision which allows Chordiant, at Chordiant's expense, to
audit EDS' use of the Licensed Software. If the audit reveals
that EDS has underpaid fees to Chordiant, EDS shall be invoiced
directly for such underpaid fees based on the Chordiant Price
List in effect at the time the audit is completed. If the
underpaid fees are in excess of five percent (5%), then EDS shall
pay Chordiant's reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
(xii) A provision which states that the Licensed Software is not
specially developed, or licensed for use in any nuclear,
aviation, mass transit or medical application or in any other
inherently dangerous application; that EDS agrees that Chordiant
and its suppliers shall not be liable for any claims or damages
arising from EDS' use of the Licensed Software for such
applications; and that EDS agrees to indemnify and hold Chordiant

for any Chordiant product, it will immediately deliver all copies of
such Source Code to Chordiant. EDS shall not rent, electronically
distribute or timeshare the Licensed Software or distribute the
Licensed Software by interactive cable or remote processing services
or otherwise distribute the Licensed Software other than as
specified in this Agreement. EDS acknowledges Chordiant's claim that
the Licensed Software contains trade secrets that belong to
Chordiant and its suppliers. Except as permitted under the Section
of the Agreement titled "Provision of Source Code", EDS shall not
disassemble, de-compile, or reverse engineer the Licensed Software.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to
exclude or prejudice the rights (if any) of EDS or any End User
under the European Directive 91/250 on the Legal Protection of
Computer Programs (14 May 1991, OJ 1991 (122/42) as implemented in
the relevant jurisdiction) with respect to the Licensed Software.
The governing License also includes the right to use the Source Code
version of Licensed Software in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Section of this Agreement titled "Provision of Source Code."
4.3 Transfer of Licensed Software. During the performance or upon termination
-----------------------------
of a contract with an EDS customer or upon any transfer of equipment
incorporating Licensed Software to a third party (such customers and third
parties referred to as "Transferee"), (i) EDS may sublicense the applicable
Licensed Software to such Transferee pursuant to terms and conditions
similar to those contained in this Article (excluding the right to
sublicense or assign), (ii) the applicable License (excluding the right to
sublicense or assign) may be assigned to such Transferee, or (iii) upon
request by EDS, the Licensed Software will be licensed directly by
Chordiant to such Transferee in accordance with the terms and conditions of
Chordiant's standard software license agreement or as agreed upon by
Chordiant and Transferee. Any assignment or sublicensing of Licensed
Software in accordance with this Section shall be at no additional charge
to EDS or Transferee, and EDS shall have no further liability or
responsibility with respect to Licensed Software under (ii) or (iii) above.
4.4 Ownership of Licensed Software and Modifications. The Licensed Software
------------------------------------------------
shall be and remain the property of Chordiant or third parties which have
granted Chordiant the right to license the Licensed Software and EDS shall
have no rights or interests therein except as set forth in this Agreement.
EDS shall be entitled to modify the Licensed Software and to develop
software interfacing with the Licensed Software. All modifications of and
interfaces to the Licensed Software developed by EDS shall be and remain
the property of EDS, and Chordiant and its Employees shall have no rights
or interests therein. Except in connection with Chordiant's performance of
warranty Service obligations or pre-paid support Services, all
modifications of and interfaces to the Licensed Software developed at EDS'
expense by Chordiant and its Employees shall be considered Work Product and
EDS shall have rights in such Work Product as established in the Section
titled "Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights" elsewhere in this
Agreement.
Upon payment of the development software license fees set forth in the

the Licensed Software developed by EDS shall be and remain the property of
EDS.
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
13
Chordiant will provide support Services for modifications owned by EDS on a
case-by-case basis under terms mutually agreed to in writing by the
parties.
4.5 Proprietary Markings. EDS shall not remove or destroy any proprietary
--------------------
markings or proprietary legends placed upon or contained within the
Licensed Software.
4.6 Duplication of Documentation. EDS may duplicate Licensed Software
----------------------------
Documentation, at no additional charge, for EDS' use or for use by a
customer of EDS in connection with the provision of Licensed Software so
long as all required proprietary markings are retained on all duplicated
copies.
4.7 Non-Disclosure. For the longer of, (i) the term of a License, or (ii) for
--------------
as long a EDS retains backup copies of the Licensed Software associated
with said License, and for two (2) years after, EDS will treat the Licensed
Software with the same degree of care and confidentiality which EDS
provides for similar information belonging to EDS which EDS does not wish
disclosed to the public, but not less than reasonable care. This provision
shall not apply to Licensed Software, or any portion thereof, which is (i)
already known by EDS without an obligation of confidentiality, (ii)
publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of
EDS, (iii) rightfully received from a third party without obligation of
confidentiality, (iv) disclosed without similar restrictions by Chordiant
to a third party, (v) approved by Chordiant for disclosure, or (vi)
required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency
or law so long as EDS provides Chordiant with timely prior written notice
of such requirement. It will not be a violation of this Section if (A) EDS
provides access to and the use of the Licensed Software to third parties
providing services to EDS so long as EDS secures execution by such third
parties of a confidentiality agreement as would normally be required by
EDS, or (B) EDS independently develops software which is similar to
Licensed Software, so long as such independent development is substantiated
by written documentation.
4.8 Licensed Software Support Services. The support Services set forth below
----------------------------------
for the Licensed Software shall be provided by Chordiant to EDS during the
Warranty Period at no charge to EDS. Thereafter, such support Services
shall be provided by Chordiant, upon EDS' request, for either a fixed or
open-ended term, at the applicable Charges set forth in Exhibit B, upon the
terms contained in the next Section. EDS may discontinue such support
Services at any time by providing thirty (30) days' advance written notice
to Chordiant. If such support Services were provided by Chordiant for an
open-ended term, EDS shall promptly receive a refund of pre-paid support
Charges which reflects the amount for discontinued support Services after
the effective date of the notice.
(a) Chordiant shall promptly notify EDS of any defects, errors or
malfunctions ("Defects") in the Licensed Software or Documentation of
which Chordiant becomes aware from any source and shall promptly
provide to EDS modified versions of Licensed Software or Documentation
which incorporate corrections of any Defects ("Corrections").
Chordiant shall also provide to EDS all operational and support
assistance necessary to cause Licensed Software to perform in
accordance with its Applicable Specifications and remedial support
designed to provide a by-pass or temporary fix to a Defect until the
Defect can be permanently corrected. Chordiant shall use its best
efforts to respond to requests from EDS for Licensed Software support
in a manner and time frame which are reasonably responsive considering
the nature and severity of the Defect which gave rise to such request.
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
14
(b) Chordiant shall provide to EDS all changes to Licensed Software
developed by Chordiant which are generally made available to other
customers of Chordiant. Such changes could be designated as an Update
or Enhancement as follows:
(i) Chordiant shall provide to EDS any improvement or update to the
Licensed Software which is denoted by Chordiant by a change to
the tenths digit to the right of the decimal point in the then-
current version number of the Licensed Software [x.(x)] (an
"Update"). EDS shall have the option to implement any Update and
any failure by EDS to so implement shall not affect EDS' right to
continue to receive support and maintenance Services; provided
that all applicable support Service fees have been paid.
(ii) Chordiant shall provide to EDS any improvement or update to the
Licensed Software which is denoted by Chordiant by a change to
the digit to the left of the decimal point in the then-current
version number of the Licensed Software [(x).x] (an
"Enhancement"). EDS shall have the option to implement any
Enhancement; however, EDS' only has the right to continue to
receive support Services if it is on the most current Enhancement
or the one just prior to such most current Enhancement; provided
that all applicable support Service fees have been paid. If EDS
stops support Services and is not operating on the most current
Enhancement or the one just prior to such most current
Enhancement, and wishes to resume support Services, EDS must
bring its support Service payments current and install the most
current Enhancement; i.e., EDS did not pay support Services for
three (3) years and the Licensed Software EDS is running is
version 2.0, but the current version is 7.0, EDS would have to
pay for those prior three (3) years plus the current year and
implement Enhancements required to be bring such Licensed
Software to version 7.0. The ability to bring support Services
current is contingent on Chordiant still offering support
Services for such Licensed Software.
If EDS is no longer receiving support Services for a specific
Product(s), and Chordiant is considering whether to stop offering
support Services for said Product(s), Chordiant shall notify EDS
they are considering such decision and provide EDS with one (1)
month to become current on support Service payments for such
Product(s). This will allow EDS to either (i) be eligible for
receipt of Source Code through escrow if Chordiant's decision is
in fact to stop providing support Services for said specific
Product(s), or (ii) begin receiving support Services for said
Product(s) at whatever level of support Services Chordiant is
offering at the time.
(c) Chordiant offers two levels of support Services, (i) Standard, which
provides telephone hot-line support twenty-four (24) hours per day,
five (5) days per week; and (ii) Premium, which provides telephone
hot-line support twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per
week. The applicable Charges for such support Services are set forth
in Exhibit B.
The severity assigned to a problem will be designated by EDS and will
determine the response time and associated time to fix the problem or
provide a work-around by Chordiant. The priority assigned will be
reviewed by Chordiant for potential re-classification. However, any
such re-classification shall be upon mutual agreement by the parties.
The problem severity levels and associated times follows:
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
15
(i) Severity 1 - Critical. A problem that affects the behavior of
the Licensed Software, software system, or application such
that: 1) an essential marketed product, component, concept, and
or function is missing or cannot be completed, or 2) a user
cannot complete essential operations, or 3) the work in progress
terminates/crashes causing loss of data, with no known work-
around.
Response time - within one (1) hour
Time to fix or provide a work-around - within twenty four (24)
hours of the problem being reported.
(ii) Severity 2 - Serious. A problem that affects the behavior of the
Licensed Software, software system, or application such that: 1)
essential performance and/or functionality may be missing, or
may be degraded, or 2) degradation of system performance and/or
functionality imposes unreasonable constraints on users. These
problems normally prevent the continuation of work in progress.
Response time - within eight (8) hours
Time to fix or provide a work-around - within two (2) working
days of the problem being reported.
(iii) Severity 3 - Problem. A Licensed Software problem that is a user
inconvenience or annoyance and which may represent a loss of
non-essential capability or is not required for essential
operations or functional capability. The problem may adversely
affect the user's accomplishment of an essential operation or
functional capability. Examples of problems in this
classification include, but are not limited to: functions that
do not operate as documented/expected, unanticipated results
from an operation, or functional documentation errors.
Response time - within five (5) working days
Time to fix or provide a work-around - within fifteen (15)
working days of the problem being reported.
(iv) Severity 4 - Minor. A Licensed Software problem that is a user
inconvenience or annoyance and which does not affect an
operational or essential functional capability. This
classification is for problems that generally are annoyances,
non-functional documentation or non-user friendly applications
and/or documentation.
Response time - within fifteen (15) working days
Time to fix or provide a work-around - next product or
documentation release.
(v) Severity 5 - Other. All other problems, errors, defects and
change requests not covered severity categories 1 through 4.
Response time - within thirty (30) working days
Time to fix or provide a work-around - no commitment, to be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
16
(d) Chordiant shall provide to EDS any revisions to the existing
Documentation developed for the Licensed Software or necessary to
reflect all Corrections, Improvements, or Updates.
(e) Chordiant shall make Licensed Software training available to persons
designated by EDS to the extent agreed upon by the parties.
(f) If the applicable Charge for Licensed Software is payable on a
periodic basis, and such Charge includes provision of support
Services, then if an Event of Default as described in the Section of
this Agreement titled "Provision of Source Code" occurs or an event
described in the Section of this Agreement titled "Termination for
Insolvency or Bankruptcy" occurs and if Chordiant fails to provide the
support Services described above, then EDS' Charge for the affected
Licensed Software shall be immediately reduced to reflect such failure
by subtracting that portion of the Charge allocable to the provision
of support Services.
4.9 Licensed Software Support Services Options. EDS may obtain the support
------------------------------------------
Services described in the previous Section for Licensed Software on a
central site support basis and/or on an individual site support basis. In
the absence of a designation of central or individual site support in a
Purchase Order, such support shall be deemed to be individual site support.
The Charges for each option shall be as set forth in Exhibit B or as
otherwise agreed upon by the parties. Where "central site support" is
requested, support Services shall be provided by Chordiant to and shall be
requested by EDS through a single point of contact identified by EDS on a
Purchase Order. To the extent necessitated by geographic diversity or where
required in order to support multiple time zones, EDS may designate
multiple central site support locations. With respect to central site
support, Chordiant shall provide to EDS one master disk and one copy of all
Documentation relating to each Correction, Improvement, or Update. EDS
shall be entitled to copy the disk and Documentation and distribute the
copies or electronically transmit the copied information to each location
supported by the central site. A designation of central site support shall
not prevent an individual user of Licensed Software from contacting
Chordiant in the event of a Severity 1 call. Where "individual site
support" is requested, support Services shall be provided by Chordiant to
the applicable licensed CPU, Site, or Network, or, in the case of a
Corporate Software License, to a licensed user.
4.10 Provision of Source Code. EDS' ability to utilize adequately Licensed
------------------------
Software will be seriously jeopardized if Chordiant fails to maintain or
support such Licensed Software unless complete Source Code and related
Documentation is made available to EDS for EDS' use in satisfying EDS'
maintenance and support requirements. Therefore, Chordiant agrees that if
an "Event of Default" occurs, then Chordiant will provide to EDS one copy
of the most current version of the Source Code for the affected Licensed
Software and associated Documentation in accordance with the following:
(a) An Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if Chordiant: (i)
ceases to market or make available maintenance or support Services for
the Licensed Software during a period in which EDS has a License or
Licenses and is receiving, or is entitled to receive as per Section
4.8 of this Agreement, such maintenance and support for such
License(s) and Chordiant has not promptly cured such failure despite
EDS' demand that Chordiant make available or perform such maintenance
and support, (ii) ceases business operations generally or (iii) has
transferred all or substantially all of its assets or obligations set
forth
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
17
in this Agreement to a third party which has not assumed all of the
obligations of Chordiant set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Chordiant will promptly and continuously update and supplement the
Source Code as necessary with all revisions, Corrections,
enhancements, and other changes developed for the Licensed Software
and Documentation. Such Source Code shall be in a form suitable for
reproduction and use by computer and photocopy equipment, and shall
consist of a full source language statement of the program or programs
comprising the Licensed Software and complete program maintenance
Documentation which comprise the pre-coding detail design
specifications, and all other material necessary to allow a reasonably
skilled programmer or analyst to maintain and enhance the Licensed
Software without the assistance of Chordiant or reference to any other
materials.
(c) Source Code received under this Section becomes a part of Licensed
Software. The governing License for the Licensed Software includes the
right to use Source Code received under this Section as necessary to
modify, maintain, and update the Licensed Software.
(d) Upon request by EDS, Chordiant will deposit in escrow with an escrow
agent acceptable to EDS and pursuant to a mutually acceptable escrow
agreement supplemental to this Agreement, a copy of the Source Code
which corresponds to the most current version of the Licensed Software
in use by EDS. EDS shall pay all fees of the escrow agent for services
provided. Chordiant's entry into, or failure to enter into, an
agreement with an escrow agent or to deposit the described materials
in escrow shall not relieve Chordiant of its obligations to EDS
described in this Section.
(e) If, as a result of an Event of Default, Chordiant fails to provide
required support Services, then any periodic license fee which EDS is
required to pay under this Agreement for Licensed Software shall be
reduced to reflect such lack of support Services. At such time as
Chordiant commences offering the support Services described in this
Agreement for Licensed Software, EDS may obtain such support Services
as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement.
4.11 Acquisition of Third Party Software. If EDS has acquired software products
-----------------------------------
from a third party and rights to such software products are subsequently
acquired by Chordiant (whether through purchase of the third party in whole
or in part, through purchase of the software products, through acquisition
of the rights to market the software, or through any other means), then EDS
shall have the option of (i) continuing to use the software products under
the original license agreement with such third party at no additional
charge to EDS other than applicable fees identified in such license
agreement, or (ii) using the software products under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
4.12 Software from an Authorized Third Party. If EDS acquires Chordiant's
---------------------------------------
software products from a value added reseller, dealer, distributor, or
other Chordiant authorized third party provider or if the Licensed Software
is embedded in software products acquired from a third party, Chordiant
agrees that, at EDS' option, such software products shall be deemed to have
been acquired under this Agreement.
4.13 Software Audit.
--------------
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
18
Upon sixty (60) days advance notice from Chordiant, and no more often than
once in any twelve (12) month period, Chordiant may audit EDS' use of the
Chordiant Licensed Software solely to verify EDS has not exceeded the
number of Licenses EDS has purchased. Said audit will be conducted by a
third party audit professional selected by Chordiant with the prior written
consent of EDS, during normal business hours, and not disrupt EDS'
business. Chordiant shall be responsible for the fees and costs of such
audit. If EDS has exceeded the number of Licenses it has purchased,
Chordiant's sole and exclusive remedy will be to have EDS purchase the
additional Licenses required to equal actual usage.
ARTICLE V. WARRANTIES, INDEMNITIES, AND LIABILITIES
----------------------------------------------------
5.1 Warranty. Chordiant represents and warrants that:
--------
(a) Chordiant has not and will not enter into agreements or commitments
which are inconsistent with or conflict with the rights granted to EDS

EXHIBIT A
EDS BUSINESS PRACTICES
----------------------
EDS' suppliers have played a key role in our continuous growth and success.
We sincerely appreciate your support. In order to avoid any conflict of
interest between our suppliers and EDS employees and to keep business
relationships on a professional basis, EDS has established and briefed its
employees on the following business practices. Please review these business
practices carefully and give a copy of this Exhibit to any of your associates
who have a need to know.
1. EDS expects its suppliers to provide a quality product or service for which
they will be fairly paid.
2. In selecting suppliers, EDS will test the market to assure quality of
service and fairness of price.
3. No EDS employee is to ask for anything of value from a supplier. Gifts
from a supplier such as tickets to athletic events, concerts or the
theater, personal travel, or any type of personal item are discouraged by
our business practices.
4. If any EDS employee is offered or accepts an item of value from a supplier,
the employee is to report it to the appropriate EDS management.
5. If any EDS employee engages in any type of unethical behavior such as
requesting anything of value from a supplier, the supplier is requested to
report the incident to the Director of Purchasing or the General Counsel of
EDS.
6. Occasional meals during visits to a supplier's facilities or a customer's
location during which a supplier incurs normal and reasonable marketing
expenses are acceptable. The EDS employee is required to report such meal
expenses to their management.
EDS appreciates your cooperation in complying with these business
practices.

EXHIBIT E
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
--------------------
1. Developed Software. "Developed Software" means computer software programs,
------------------
including Development Documents (as later defined in this Agreement),
developed or to be developed by Chordiant and/or Employees pursuant to this
Agreement. The parties agree that the definition of Work Product(s) shall
be modified to include Developed Software.
2. Provision of Development Services. Chordiant shall perform development
---------------------------------
Services to the extent agreed upon by the parties for a particular EDS
project (the "Project"). With respect to each Project, the parties shall
agree in writing upon supplemental terms and conditions applicable to the
performance of the Project including, for example and without limitation,
(i) a price and milestone payment schedule, (ii) a Project performance
schedule, including the appropriate work steps and phases, (iii) Applicable
Specifications, (iv) functional and detailed design specifications, and (v)
a schedule of those items or tasks to be performed by Chordiant which must
be approved by EDS or performed to the satisfaction of EDS
("Deliverables"). The terms and conditions established for a Project shall
be incorporated in this Agreement, and may be amended upon the mutual
written agreement of the Project Managers (as later defined in this
Agreement). The Section of this Agreement titled "Time and Materials
Services" shall also apply to the Project if the development Services are
performed on a time and materials basis.
3. Project Management. For each Project, Chordiant and EDS shall each
------------------
designate a project manager (the "Project Managers") who shall have the
responsibilities set forth in this Exhibit and as otherwise agreed upon by
the parties. Each Project Manager shall be responsible for providing
timely management decisions as required or requested relating to the
Project. From time to time at the request of the EDS Project Manager, the
Chordiant Project Manager shall provide to the EDS Project Manager a
written report of the status of the Project.
4. Approval of Deliverables. The supplemental Project terms and conditions
------------------------
shall establish time frames for the acceptance process of Deliverables; any
reference to dates or time periods in this Section shall mean the dates
mutually agreed upon by the parties in, or determined in accordance with,
such terms and conditions. The Chordiant Project Manager shall submit each
Deliverable to the EDS Project Manager on or before the specified delivery
date. Within the established time frame, EDS shall approve or disapprove
the Deliverable by providing written notice to Chordiant. EDS shall
describe in any disapproval the ways in which the Deliverable fails to
conform to the established requirements and/or the Applicable
Specifications for the Project or portion thereof; EDS may also suggest
corrections or improvements which may cause the Deliverable to meet such
standard. Chordiant shall resubmit the Deliverable to EDS for approval as
provided in this Section, within the established cure period. EDS may
extend the period of time for resubmission of the Deliverable if Chordiant
submits a written request outlining the specific reasons why Chordiant
cannot comply with the requirements together with
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Chordiant's proposed alternative schedule for resubmission of the
Deliverable. Chordiant may submit draft versions of a Deliverable prior to
the required date for the informal comment of the EDS Project Manager. EDS'
approval of a Deliverable only indicates that EDS has reviewed the
Deliverable and detected no errors or omissions sufficient enough to
warrant the withholding or denial of payment, if any, for such Deliverable.
EDS' approval of a Deliverable does not discharge Chordiant's obligation to
provide a completed Developed Software that as a whole conforms to the
Applicable Specifications.
5. Acceptance Testing Procedures. In connection with each Project, the
-----------------------------
parties shall mutually agree upon appropriate acceptance testing criteria
and procedures for the Developed Software. The applicable acceptance
testing criteria and procedures must be successfully satisfied and
performed prior to EDS' acceptance of the Developed Software. If any
defects or deficiencies are discovered during acceptance testing, EDS shall
so notify Chordiant, and Chordiant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt
of such notice to correct the deficiencies. If necessary, Chordiant and
EDS may mutually agree upon an additional time period in order to continue
acceptance testing of the corrected Developed Software. For purposes of an
item of Developed Software, the term "Acceptance Date" shall mean the date
when the Developed Software successfully satisfies the applicable
acceptance testing criteria. Acceptance of an item of Developed Software
does not waive any warranty rights provided in this Agreement for Developed
Software.
6. Change Orders. By providing written notice to the Chordiant Project
-------------
Manager, EDS may request Chordiant to perform additional work or changes
within the general scope of the Project and Chordiant agrees to perform
such work or changes. If a change causes an increase or decrease in the
price or time required for performance as mutually determined by the
Project Managers, a negotiated adjustment shall be made in the Project
price and/or performance schedule. Changes outside the general scope of
the Project shall be governed by the following Section.
7. Additional Work. By providing written notice to the Chordiant Project
---------------
Manager, EDS may request Chordiant to perform additional Services outside
the general scope of a Project. At its option, Chordiant may submit, at no
charge to EDS, a written proposal for such Services including a price/cost
proposal, expenses related to travel, lodging and meals, a delivery
schedule, and any other information reasonably related to such request.
Within a reasonable time period requested by Chordiant, EDS shall accept or
reject such proposal. If Chordiant chooses not to provide a proposal in
response to EDS' request, Chordiant shall promptly notify EDS.
8. Ownership of Developed Software. EDS shall have Ownership Rights in and to
-------------------------------
all Developed Software, whether completed or partially completed, and all
documents developed or exchanged during or in support of a Project, whether
completed or partially completed (the "Development Documents") as set forth
in the Section titled "Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights" elsewhere
in this Agreement. To the extent that Existing Materials are required in
order to use the Developed Software as contemplated in this
[*]= CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Agreement, Chordiant shall grant to EDS, its subsidiaries and affiliates
rights as set forth in the Section titled "Use of Existing Materials"
elsewhere in this Agreement.
9. Remedies for Failure to Perform. If Chordiant defaults in the performance
-------------------------------
of a Project EDS may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) terminate the
Project, return to Chordiant all Development Documents and receive a refund
from Chordiant of all amounts paid to Chordiant with respect to the
Project, (ii) enter into a joint development effort with Chordiant to
complete the Project at no additional charge to EDS, (iii) extend the time
for Chordiant performance at no additional charge to EDS, (iv) continue
development itself or in connection with a third party, and/or (v)
terminate the Project. The foregoing remedies do not constitute exclusive
remedies. In the event EDS elects to continue development efforts itself,
or to continue development efforts with the involvement of a third party,
Chordiant shall provide to EDS all Chordiant proprietary or other
information reasonably required to complete such development. EDS agrees
that any third parties pursuing such development with EDS shall agree to
comply with non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions to protect
Chordiant's information. EDS may use the information as necessary in order
to complete the Project.
10. Rights Upon Project Completion. Upon completion or termination of a
------------------------------
Project for any reason, Chordiant shall provide to EDS all copies of all
Developed Software and Development Documents, whether completed or
partially completed, (except if EDS elects (i) in the previous Section) and
shall return to EDS any and all copies of all information provided by EDS
to Chordiant in connection with the Project. EDS shall be entitled to
obtain maintenance and support Services for Developed Software under the
Sections governing support of Licensed Software.
