2. Product Extension Development; Ownership.
----------------------------------------
2.1 Within thirty (30) business days following the Amendment
Effective Date, SPRT will submit to EAH a proposal for specifications for the
Product Extension (the "Specifications") to be effective during the twelve (12)
month period following the Amendment Effective Date. Neither the proposed
Specifications nor EAH's proposed modifications will in any event add any new
functionality to the Preliminary Specifications set forth in Exhibit A, but will
provide additional detail associated with each component of the Preliminary
Specifications. Within ten (10) business days following its receipt of the
proposed Specifications, EAH shall notify SPRT that the proposed Specifications
are acceptable or, if they are not acceptable in any respect, then EAH shall
deliver to SPRT reasonable proposed modifications to the proposed
Specifications. Any failure by EAH to notify SPRT that the proposed
Specifications are not acceptable within the time frame set forth above shall be
deemed an acceptance of the proposed Specifications. Within five (5) business
days of receipt of EAH's modifications, SPRT must either accept and incorporate
the proposed modifications or notify EAH that the modifications are not
acceptable. Any failure by SPRT to notify EAH that the modifications are not
acceptable within the time frame set forth above shall be deemed an acceptance
of the modifications. If SPRT properly notifies EAH that the modifications are
not acceptable, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of
fifteen (15) days using commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon
acceptable Specifications. If after fifteen (15) days the parties are unable to
mutually agree upon acceptable Specifications, then SPRT shall have an
additional five (5) days to either accept EAH's most recent modifications or
immediately terminate the Amendment. Upon the parties reaching agreement as to
the Specifications, they each will execute a copy of an Exhibit setting forth
the Specifications which shall then be appended as Exhibit A to this Amendment.
2.2 Within thirty (30) business days prior to (a) the first
anniversary of the Amendment Effective Date, and (b) each subsequent six (6)
month period during the Initial Term, SPRT will submit to EAH proposed
specifications ("Enhancement Specifications") with respect to such six (6) month
period for enhancements to the Product Extension ("Enhancements"), for review
and comment. Such Enhancement Specifications and EAH's proposed modifications
thereto (a) will be for feature enhancements to the components and functionality
in the Specifications, (b) will not in any event require a level of development
effort on SPRT's part greater than one half (1/2) of the development effort
required to develop the Product Extension as specified in the Specifications,
and (c) will not be for new components which are not a part of the
Specifications, unless mutually agreed upon. EAH must within ten (10) business
days following its receipt of any such proposed Enhancement Specifications
notify SPRT that the proposal is acceptable or, if not acceptable in any
respect, then EAH must advise SPRT as to any proposed modifications to the
proposed Enhancement Specifications. Any failure by EAH to notify SPRT that the
proposal is not acceptable within the time frame set forth above shall be deemed
an acceptance of the applicable Enhancement Specifications. SPRT will have five
(5) business days following receipt of notice of proposed modifications to
either incorporate the proposed modifications into the proposal or notify EAH of
its rejection of those proposed modifications. Any failure by SPRT to
2
notify EAH that the modifications are not acceptable within the time frame set
forth above shall be deemed an acceptance of the modifications. If SPRT properly
notifies EAH that the modifications are not acceptable, then the parties shall
negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days using commercially
reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon acceptable Enhancement Specifications.
If after fifteen (15) days the parties are unable to mutually agree upon
acceptable Enhancement Specifications, then SPRT shall have an additional five
(5) days to either accept EAH's most recent modifications or immediately
terminate the Amendment. The foregoing notwithstanding, EAH and SPRT may add any
new features or components to the Enhancement Specification by mutual agreement.
Upon the parties reaching agreement as to the Enhancement Specifications, for
each such six (6) month period, each party will execute a copy of an Exhibit
setting forth the agreed-upon Enhancement Specifications which shall then be
appended as a new Exhibit to this Amendment.
2.3 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, SPRT will
develop and deliver the Product Extensions and Enhancements in accordance with
the Specifications and Enhancement Specifications, as applicable, including but
not limited to delivery of such Product Extensions or Enhancements within the
time frame set forth in the applicable Specification or Enhancement
Specification, with allowance for slippage of delivery of any component by an
additional ***% of the number of business days between the acceptance of the
applicable Specification or Enhancement Specification and the time frame set
forth for such component in such applicable Specification or Enhancement
Specification. Upon completion of each Product Extension or Enhancement, SPRT
will provide it to EAH. Within *** (***) *** after EAH's receipt of a Product
Extension or Enhancement thereof (which will be provided in executable object
code only), EAH will advise SPRT whether EAH considers the Product Extension or
Enhancement to comply in all material respects with the applicable
Specifications or Enhancement Specifications and will provide the reasons
(including supporting documentation) of any material non-conformities. Any
failure by EAH to notify SPRT that the Product Extension or Enhancements are not
acceptable within the time frame set forth above shall be deemed acknowledgement
by EAH that the Product Extension and/or Enhancements comply in all material
respects with the applicable Specifications or Enhancement Specifications. In
the case that EAH provides SPRT with such notice of any material non-
conformities, SPRT shall have *** (***) *** to correct the non-conformities and
re-submit the Product Extension or Enhancement to EAH for acceptance. Within ***
(***) *** after receipt of the corrected Product Extension or Enhancement, EAH
will advise SPRT whether EAH considers the Product Extension or Enhancement to
comply in all material respects with the applicable Specifications or
Enhancement Specifications and will provide the reasons (including supporting
documentation) of any material non-conformities. Any failure by EAH to notify
SPRT that the Product Extension or Enhancements are not acceptable within the
time frame set forth above shall be deemed acknowledgement by EAH that the
Product Extension and/or Enhancements comply in all material respects with the
applicable Specifications or Enhancement Specifications. This process shall
continue until the earlier to occur of: (i) EAH's acknowledgement that the
Product Extension and/or Enhancements comply in all material respects with the
applicable Specifications or Enhancement Specifications, or (ii) *** from the
date of the initial notification by EAH of non-conformity of the applicable
Product Extension

and/or Enhancement. In the event that the Product Extension and/or Enhancements
fail to comply in all material respects with the applicable Specification or
Enhancement Specification after *** (***) days from the initial notification by
EAH of non-conformity of the applicable Product Extension and/or Enhancement,
EAH may, at its sole discretion, terminate the Amendment.
2.4 Upon completion of the Product Extension or Enhancement, the
Product Extension or Enhancement will be deemed to be included in the Agreement
as the "Product" and all terms relating thereto shall apply equally to the
Product Extension and Enhancement, including but not limited to the license to
EAH set forth in Section 2.1 through 2.3 and SPRT's ownership set forth in
Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EAH shall not be entitled to
sublicense the Product, Product Extensions or Enhancements, except for the
client-side component (referred to in the Agreement as the Tioga Agent), subject
to terms of the Agreement.
3. Referral of Customers.
---------------------
3.1 From time to time, EAH will, during the term of this Amendment,
refer to SPRT certain EAH customers and partners who may be interested in
licensing the Product, Product Extension, and/or Enhancements. EAH agrees that
EAH will position the Product Extension and Enhancements to its customers and
partners as the preferred solution for supporting an end user internet service.
For each such customer or partner that EAH intends to refer to SPRT, EAH will
provide a written notice of such referral, indicating contact information and
other information reasonably requested by SPRT, in the form as mutually agreed
by the parties. Referred Customers shall not include an entity which (a)
Xxxxxxx.xxx, at the time the contact information is provided, had already
contacted with respect to Xxxxxxx.xxx products, or (b) is already a customer of
Xxxxxxx.xxx.
3.2 SPRT may enter into an agreement with the Referred Customers at
SPRT's own discretion and subject to terms and conditions agreed to with the
Referred Customers. Nothing herein shall obligate SPRT to enter into any
agreement with such Referred Customers. SPRT will have the right to determine
in its sole discretion the price at which SPRT licenses the Product Extension to
Referred Customers.
4. Marketing.
---------
4.1 The parties will issue and globally distribute a joint press
release announcing the parties' relationship within 30 calendar days of the
Amendment Effective Date. The parties may, as from time to time they may
mutually agree, issue additional joint press releases regarding successful
development and marketing efforts of the Product Extension and Enhancements, and
regarding the parties' relationship established by this Amendment. Neither party
may otherwise issue any press releases or other public announcements with
respect to this Amendment, without the other party's prior written consent.

4.2 The parties will co-brand the Product Extension and the
Enhancements for EAH partners and customers.
5. Payments.
--------
5.1 EAH agrees to pay SPRT for the development of the Product
Extension the amount of *** U.S. Dollars ($***), payable over a *** period as

on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Agreement. Such payments
shall be in addition to the License Fees set forth in Section 4.1 of the
Agreement.
5.2 As consideration for EAH's referral of Referred Customers to SPRT
with respect to the Product Extension and/or Enhancements as provided under this
Amendment, and in the event that SPRT actually utilizes the contact information
provided by EAH to license the Product Extension or the Enhancements to the
Referred Customer during the Term, then SPRT will pay EAH *** percent (***%) of
SPRT's Net Revenue over $*** from licensing of the Product Extension or the
Enhancements to such Referred Customers. For the avoidance of doubt, EAH shall
be entitled to receive *** percent (***%) of additional Net Revenue received by
SPRT for Product Extension license fees from such Referred Customers during the
Term.
5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that EAH will
not be entitled to share in revenue received by SPRT from Referred Customers
solely for upgrades to the Product Extension that arise in connection with or
are necessary because of modifications made by SPRT to the Product Extension, if
SPRT charges for such upgrades. If any such upgrade is included as part of the
original sale of the Product Extension license to the Referred Customer, then
EAH will be entitled to its share of the Net Revenue from that sale pursuant to
Section 5.2, other than the portion of the Net Revenue attributable to the
upgrade.
5.4 EAH's share of the Net Revenues, if any which may accrue under
this Amendment will be payable on a quarterly basis throughout the Term and will
be payable by SPRT within 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Along
with each payment, SPRT will provide EAH with a report detailing the amount of
Net Revenues paid hereunder. Such report will include, at a minimum, Referred
Customer name, date of purchase, installation date, calculation of Net Revenue
and EAH's share of the Net Revenue. SPRT will pay in United States dollars.
