Warranty Period and upon Ford's request, Licensor will at no additional charge
to Ford: (x) correct promptly each non-conformance of the eRoom Software or
Toolkit from the above described specifications ,or (y) replace the
non-conforming eRoom Software or Toolkit with conforming eRoom Software or
Toolkit, or (z) to the extent the above may not be reasonably obtained, Licensor
may at its option, terminate the license only for the eRoom Software at issue or
the Toolkit at issue and refund the amount paid by Ford for the particular eRoom
Software or Toolkit license at issue. This warranty is void if the failure is
due to accident, abuse or use not in conformance with the applicable User
Documentation. To the extent the Software at issue is acquired as an upgrade
under Instinctive's Maintenance program, then any refund made will be based on
the portion of the then current Maintenance fee allocated to such upgrade. The
remedy set forth above will be Ford's exclusive remedy, and Licensor's exclusive
liability, for breach of the above warranty.
(b) Licensor warrants that any services rendered by Licensor will be
performed in a professional manner by qualified personnel.
(c) Licensor's warranties are limited to those set forth in this
Agreement and do not include any other express or implied warranties, including

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION,
LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO

11. DISCONTINUANCE. The Licensor is in the process of establishing a third
party source code escrow arrangement with a nationally (US) recognized software
escrow agent (estimated to be completed in Q1 2000) in order to lodge source
code for the Software with such agent for the benefit of certain of Licensor's
customers. Licensor agrees that when such an arrangement is in place, Ford will
have the option of becoming a beneficiary of such arrangement. Instinctive will
pay for any escrow fees related to the escrow as long as Ford continues to
purchase Maintenance.

Software Notes:
1. For purposes of the above table, Software includes both eRoom and the
Toolkit.
2. INITIAL LICENSE TERM. The Initial License Term consists of the three
(3) years from the effective date of this Agreement. During the
Initial License Term, Ford is granted the following licenses: (1) *
eRoom Server Licenses, (2) * eRoom User Access Licenses for Ford
Users; and (3) * Toolkit licenses.
3. TRUE-UP. The "Ford Count" consists of all of the Ford Users authorized
to access the Software (i.e., all User Access Licenses in existence)
determined prior to the end of the Initial Term (but no earlier than
45 days before the end of the Initial Term). The "Spin-Off Count"
consists of all User Licenses allocated to Spin-Offs (as provided in
Paragraph 4 below). The Ford Count plus the Spin-Off Count is referred
to as the "True Up Number". Prior to the end of the Initial Term, Ford
will report the True-Up Number to Instinctive (including a break-out
between the Ford Count and the Spin-Off Count and including names of
the Spin-Off entities ) and a Ford purchasing agent will certify to
Instinctive in writing that the True-Up Number represents all Ford
Users authorized to access the Software and all User Licenses
allocated to Spin-Offs.
4. SPIN-OFFS. A "Spin-Off" refers to a division of Ford or any FAC that
during the Initial Term becomes less than 50% owned by Ford. During
the Initial Term, Ford may allocate eRoom Servers and a specific
number of User Access Licenses to any such Spin-Off, and the license
for such Software will be fully paid and perpetual in term provided
that
8
2
the Spin-Off and Instinctive will agree to mutually acceptable license
terms which will apply to such Software. To the extent the Spin-Off
wishes to purchase additional UALs or Maintenance, it will need to
make such purchases directly from Instinctive. During the period of 90
days after the Spin-Off becomes less than 50% owned by Ford,
Instinctive will offer such Spin-Off the following prices: $ * /UAL,
and $ * /annual Maintenance per each UAL. Except as set forth in this
Paragraph, Spin-Offs will have no rights under this Agreement.
5. GUARANTEED NUMBER. It is the intent of the parties that the Software
Fee described in the table above includes a perpetual royalty free
license for Ford for * User Access Licenses (less the number of User
Access Licenses allocated to Spin-Offs, if any). This number is
referred to as the "Guaranteed Number."
6. FORD COUNT LESS THAN GUARANTEED NUMBER. If the Ford Count is less than
the Guaranteed Number, then Instinctive agrees that Ford is entitled
to receive (free of charge) User Access Licenses equal in number to
the difference between the Ford Count and the Guaranteed Number. At
the time of True-Up, Ford will be provided with a License String for
such difference. .
7. FORD COUNT GREATER THAN GUARANTEED NUMBER. If the Ford Count is
greater than the Guaranteed Number, then Instinctive will invoice Ford
for User Access Licenses equal in number to the difference between the
Ford Count and the Guaranteed Number, at $ * per User Access License.
Instinctive will guarantee the $ * price only for a one-time purchase
made at the True-Up time, and Ford may purchase User Access Licenses
in excess of the Guaranteed Number at such time at the $ * price. All
such User Access Licenses will be licensed under the license terms of
this Agreement.
8. PERPETUAL LICENSE TERM. The Perpetual License Term commences upon
termination of the Initial License Term and is perpetual. During the
Perpetual License Term: (a) Ford may continue to copy and use *
eRoom Server Software acquired by Ford during the Initial Term; (b)
Ford may continue to use up to the Guaranteed Number of User Access
Licenses for Ford Users (including any User Access Licenses paid for
under Paragraph 7 above, if any), and (c) Ford may continue to use *
Toolkit licenses acquired by it during the Initial Term.
9. FUTURE PURCHASES OF UALS. During the Perpetual License Term, Ford may
purchase additional UALs for then current or negotiated terms and
prices.
10. USE RESTRICTIONs. During the Initial and Perpetual License Terms, the
license usage restrictions described in the Agreement continue to
apply.
Maintenance Notes
1. Ford has the option to renew Maintenance beyond the three year term of
this Agreement. For UALs purchased at the True-Up time, Instinctive
will provide Ford with the same per UAL annual Maintenance cost as
provided during Year 3 (i.e, $ * per UAL). For all UAL's acquired by
Ford prior to the end of the Initial Term (including those purchased
during the True-Up), Instinctive agrees that, as long as Ford
continues to purchase Maintenance for at least the Guaranteed Number
of User Access Licenses, Instinctive will not increase such per UAL
Maintenance fee by more than * % from year to year. Maintenance for
any additional UALs acquired after True-Up time will be at then
negotiated prices.
2. Maintenance is provided under the Maintenance terms described below.
3. Maintenance includes technical support and upgrades for the Toolkit
product as well as the eRoom Software.
Services Notes
1. For purposes of the above table, one "Consultant" is equivalent to
approximately 250 days (based on 50 working weeks per year) of
consulting services/year, and one "TAM" is equivalent to approximately
250 days (based on 50 working weeks per year) of Technical Account
Manager services/year. The specific consulting and TAM services to be
provided by Instinctive and schedule of such Services will be
determined by mutual consent of the parties from time to time to
enable Instinctive to address the then current needs of Ford.
Reasonable travel expenses of the Consultants and TAM to Ford will be
paid by Ford provided lodging, food and transportation will not exceed
$150 per day per person. Air transportation will be reimbursed at
coach rates. Expenses above these limits must be approved by a Ford
manager. Ford and Instinctive will each designate one individual to
represent them in the management of such services. Instinctive will
determine the identity of the individuals assigned, and such
individuals may be employees or contractors of Instinctive. Ford will
have the right to request reassignment of any such individuals for
reasonable purposes.
2. While on Ford premises, Instinctive personnel will comply with Ford's
reasonable rules and regulations regarding protection of persons and
property.

3. During the time any Services are being provided under this Agreement
and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Ford may not
directly solicit any employee of Instinctive who provided any of the
Services without consent of Instinctive.
4. The parties agree that the services currently contemplated by this
Agreement will include two categories of services: development of
customized software code according to specifications to be provided by
Ford ("Development") and general consulting, advice, assistance and
training services ("General Consulting").
5. Regarding Development work, the parties agree to promptly develop one
or more Statements of Work which will specify specifications,
schedules and other matters relative to Development work, including a
description of work product to be delivered to Ford (a "Deliverable").
Unless otherwise agreed to in a Statement of Work, the parties agree
as follows: (a) Ford will own the Deliverable (except for any
pre-existing Instinctive intellectual property and all derivative
works of such pre-existing materials resulting from the Development
work, even if such materials are incorporated into a Deliverable,
provided that Instinctive grants Ford an irrevocable, paid up,
worldwide, non-exclusive license to use such pre-existing Instinctive
intellectual property as part of the Deliverable); (b) Ford shall
retain ownership of all pre-existing Ford trade secret or proprietary
information; (c) Instinctive will own all generally applicable or
re-usable concepts and ideas resulting from the Development work
(provided that Instinctive grants to Ford an irrevocable, paid up,
worldwide, non-exclusive license to use such concepts and ideas); and
(d) Ford grants to Instinctive an irrevocable, paid up, worldwide,
non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, further develop, and license
the generally applicable or re-usable code resulting from the
Development work (providing Instinctive will have no rights to any
pre-existing Ford trade secret or proprietary information),
* .
6. Regarding the General Consulting work, Instinctive or its suppliers
own all copyright and other intellectual property rights in all
templates, documents, software programs, and other materials which are
delivered to Ford under the Services. Instinctive grants Ford a
non-exclusive royalty free license under copyright to use and copy the
materials provided by Instinctive only for purposes of supporting
Ford's authorized use of the Software. Nothing in this Paragraph 6 is
intended to change the allocation of rights set forth in Paragraph 5
with respect to Development work.

PUBLICITY/ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
PUBLICITY AND ADVERTISING MATERIALS WHICH REFER TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY, ITS
PRODUCTS OR FACILITIES, SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT
BREACH ANY CONFIDENTIALITIES OR CAUSE FORD EMBARRASSMENT. AT FORD, CAREFUL
CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO THE EXTERNAL RELEASE DATES OF ANY INFORMATION THAT
MIGHT GIVE A COMPETITOR AN ADVANTAGE. CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS VITAL THAT NO
INFORMATION CONCERNING FORD BE DIVULGED BY SUPPLIERS THAT MAY PREEMPT THE
COMPANY'S OWN ANNOUNCEMENTS.
WHILE CREATIVITY SHOULD NOT BE STIFLED, YOUR COOPERATION IN CHECKING YOUR
MATERIAL AGAINST THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES IS APPRECIATED:
- No reference to Ford future product programs, disclosing information on
timing plans that may not be in the public domain or product code names
(e.g. CDW-27, Sigma) should be made.
- There may be no implication that the supplier is the sole provider of that
part.
- The value of contracts may not be quoted.
- No reference may be made to any program costs at Ford, speculated or
otherwise.
- Ford personnel may not be quoted, nor identified by name.
- There should be no implication of a special relationship with Ford.
Specifically, use of Ford advertising slogans, paraphrased or otherwise, is
not permitted, as is use of Ford trademarks. Phrases mentioning Ford or its
products (used with or without photographs of Ford products), which give
the impression that Ford endorses the suppliers' goods or that supplier is
the sole source of such products to Ford, are not permitted.
- All statements concerning Ford must be factually correct. No claims should
be made as if emanating from Ford.
- The correct Ford company name should be used. Note that references to
suppliers trading with 'Ford of Europe' will not be correct, since Ford of
Europe Incorporated is a coordinating body, not a trading company. The
publicity should either refer specifically to the local Ford national
company (e.g. Ford Motor Company, Ford Motor Company Ltd, Ford-Werke AG) or
generally to 'Ford.'
- The Ford logo is not to be used by suppliers unless under exceptional
circumstances (i.e. joint projects, where there is benefit to Ford in
having the logo displayed). These exceptional circumstances will be judged
by the Corporate Advertising Office (Detroit, Michigan). Use of Ford
location photographs must be approved by Ford in advance.
- Any supplier wishing to display Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar,
Aston-Martin or Motorcraft branded parts at exhibitions should, after
having first obtained Ford's permission, display the item with the words
"This component is displayed with permission of Ford Motor Company. We
cannot supply this component to anyone other than Ford Motor Company
without specific authorization."
Q1 AND TQE REFERENCES
- The Q1 logo and flag is awarded to a specific manufacturing site. The use
of the Q1 logo on stationery or for advertising purposes in any way that
implies a Company-wide award is not permitted. The flying of the Q1 flag at
any location other than the specific manufacturing site the award was
presented to is not permitted. Any use of the Q1 logo or flag must clearly
show that the award was manufacturing site specific.
- The TQE Award is given to a company or business providing a product to Ford
customers, including all Ford facilities. TheTQE is a company-wide award
and may be advertised as such. It may not, however, be advertised by
affiliates or partners of the company or business receiving the award.
Having ensured that your proposed publicity/advertisement meets these
guidelines, please submit materials to the address below for Ford Motor Company
review and approval. With your material, include the name of your
commodity/central buyer and copy the commodity/central buyer on your submission.
