2.1. Initial Phase. The Parties acknowledge that it is their intent to have the Japan Service, Localized Web Site and Localized Software hosted from servers located in the Territory. However, the Parties anticipate it will take some time and resources to Localize, launch and operate such items without any dependence on SFDC’s servers, infrastructure, and commercial software. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, until such time as Licensee determines it is economically and technologically feasible to host the Japan Service, Localized Web Site, Localized Software and any third party software used by SFDC as part of the server infrastructure to deliver the SFDC Service, from servers in the Territory and provides written notice to SFDC of such determination, SFDC shall host these items on its servers in the United States and Licensee shall market and sell the Japan Service to Customers. The Parties will mutually agree on the appropriate method of directing Customers to the Japan Service during the Initial Phase, whether by framing, linking or otherwise, but in any event the Parties agree that Customers will use the Licensee Web Site as the gateway to the Localized Web Site hosted by SFDC.

2.2. Exclusivity. Accordingly, SFDC hereby appoints Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts the appointment, as the exclusive authorized distributor, marketer and seller of the Japan Service to Customers, with the right to appoint Distributors in the Territory. SFDC agrees it will not, and will not permit any third party to, (except as necessary to fulfill SFDC’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Consulting Services Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Parties) create, distribute, sell, market, use, offer, link to or from, frame, or otherwise exploit any Localizations (or any other version targeted at the Japanese-language market) of the SFDC Service, System Technology, any Product, or any services based on the foregoing, in whole or in part, during the term of this Agreement.

2.3. Multinational Customers. Each party shall have the right to pursue sales opportunities with any Customer that is a Multinational Company where the Customer’s headquarters is located (a) in the Territory, in the case of Licensee, and (b) outside the Territory, in the case of SFDC. The Parties agree to develop a policy for revenue sharing that fairly reflects the costs incurred by each in selling to, providing the SFDC Service or Japan Service, as applicable, to, and supporting such Customers. SFDC agrees it will not enter any agreement with any Multinational Company that would breach the exclusive rights granted to Licensee hereunder, unless Licensee provides prior written consent thereto and the Parties mutually agree on appropriate revenue sharing or other payment to Licensee in consideration therefor. Licensee agrees it will not enter any agreement with any Multinational Company that would breach the scope of the exclusive rights reserved by Licensee hereunder, unless SFDC provides prior written consent thereto and the Parties mutually agree on appropriate revenue sharing or other payment to SFDC in consideration therefor.

2.4. Commitment. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote, market and support the Japan Service in the Territory. Licensee shall maintain such staff, equipment and facilities as it deems necessary to adequately serve the needs of Customers of the Japan Service.

2.5. Software License. During the term of this Agreement, including without limitation, during the Initial Phase, Licensee may internally install, operate and use the Software, Documentation and Sales Materials (in their English-language version) solely for purposes of testing, evaluation, Localization, training and demonstration.

2.6. Support; Service Level. SFDC shall, at no additional charge, (a) provide to Licensee, during the term of this Agreement, the support and maintenance services (“Support Services”) and (b) meet, during the Initial Phase, the service levels (“Service Levels”), in each case as set forth in Exhibit B.

2.7. Training. SFDC shall provide to Licensee, at no additional charge and at times and locations (potentially web-based) mutually agreeable to the Parties, (a) two (2) in-house technical training sessions with respect to the SFDC Service and System Technology designed for Licensee’s sales representatives and Licensee’s technical support group; and (b) periodic further technical and sales training sessions to familiarize Licensee with each significant upgrade, update, or modification to the SFDC Service or System Technology. Any training services requested of SFDC by Licensee in addition to those described in this Section 2.7 shall be governed by the Consulting Services Agreement.

2.8. Customer Data. During the Initial Phase, SFDC shall provide Customer Data to Licensee in a form substantially similar to that used by SFDC. SFDC may internally use such Customer Data solely for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, providing support, and shall comply with Licensee’s privacy policies with respect to such use. Each Party agrees to comply with all applicable laws with respect to use of the Customer Data.

2.9. Delivery. Promptly following the Effective Date, SFDC shall deliver to Licensee a copy in electronic form of the System Technology and, if any, Localizations thereof. Thereafter, SFDC shall deliver to Licensee, at no additional cost, a copy of any new System Technology and any major or minor upgrades, updates, fixes, modifications, or enhancements to the System Technology, as Localized (if applicable), as SFDC may develop or obtain from time to time; SFDC shall deliver such materials to Licensee as soon as reasonably practicable after creating or obtaining such materials or deploying such materials in conjunction with the SFDC Service but in any event no later than the date SFDC first makes any such materials available to any third party.

2.10. End of Initial Phase. Upon delivery of notice in accordance with Section 2.1, the Parties shall cooperate in transitioning the Japan Service and all other Localized Products, as applicable, from SFDC’s control and SFDC’s servers to Licensee’s control and Licensee-designated servers in Japan, with a target of completing such transition within one hundred eighty (180) days after SFDC’s receipt of such notice. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, upon completion of the transition SFDC will cease hosting and operation of the Localized Web Site and Japan Service, and all other use of the Localized Products, except as reasonably necessary to perform SFDC’s obligations hereunder and under the Consulting Services Agreement. The period of time from the Effective Date through the completion of the transition and cessation of SFDC’s hosting is referred to herein as the “Initial Phase.”

3.	License Grant.

3.1. Grant of License. SFDC hereby grants and agrees to grant to Licensee, under SFDC’s Intellectual Property Rights, an exclusive (even as to SFDC), royalty-free, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 3.3), non-assignable (except as provided in Section 14.3) license during the term of this Agreement to use and otherwise exploit the System Technology and Localizations thereof and associated Intellectual Property Rights in the Territory, and to sublicense (pursuant to Section 3.3) the System Technology and Localizations thereof and associated Intellectual Property Rights in the Territory.

The use of the Japan Service, Localized Web Site and Client Programs by Customers while outside of the Territory;

The incidental access to portions of the Japan Service and Localized Web Site via electronic gateways and electronic distribution channels by third parties other than Customers by virtue of the accessibility of the Japan Service through the Internet, but Licensee shall not promote such access; and

3.3. Sublicenses. The license granted to Licensee pursuant to Section 3.1 includes the right of Licensee to grant sublicenses within the scope of such license to any third party, subject to SFDC’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to standard sublicenses reasonably necessary for conduct of the Business, such as in connection with hiring subcontractors to assist with Localization, appointing Distributors to resell the Japan Service, creating co-branded sites or custom applications for Customers to host, or providing Customers with a copy of the Localized Client Program or with access to the Localized Software through the Japan Service, Licensee may, prior to use, submit its standard form of subcontractor, Distributor, Customer or similar agreement, as applicable, to SFDC for approval, such approval not to unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon such approval, Licensee may continue to grant sublicenses pursuant to such agreement (as may be revised through negotiation, provided such revisions do not materially adversely affect SFDC’s rights or interests), without obtaining SFDC’s prior consent.

4.	Ownership.

4.1. SFDC Ownership Rights. SFDC and its licensors shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the System Technology, SFDC’s Trademarks, and any Localizations thereof. Licensee does not acquire any rights, express or implied, in the System Technology, SFDC’s Trademarks, or Localizations thereof other than those licenses granted in this Agreement.

4.2. Assignment. Licensee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to SFDC all its right, title and interest in and to any Localizations of or other derivative works of the Products and SFDC’s Trademarks created by Licensee during the term of this Agreement (excluding trade name rights and any domain name registrations in Japan, as such rights are not assignable), along with Licensee’s associated Intellectual Property Rights therein. Licensee further waives and agrees not to assert (and will cause its employees, contractors, or consultants to agree to waive and not assert) any “moral” rights or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity that Licensee or any such employee, contractor, or consultant may have under applicable law.

Licensee hereby grants to SFDC a right of first refusal to license, for use outside the Territory and not in connection with products or services targeted primarily at Customers or the Japanese market, any intellectual property, and associated Intellectual Property Rights, developed and owned by Licensee, including without

limitation, patents, trademarks and know-how, except to the extent Licensee is prevented from granting such rights due to a pre-existing binding obligation to a third party governing such development (“Future IP”). Within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from Licensee describing any such Future IP, SFDC will notify Licensee of whether it is interested in pursuing negotiations to license such Future IP. If SFDC notifies Licensee of such interest, the Parties agree to enter into arm’s-length negotiations to determine the terms and conditions of such license. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such terms and conditions within sixty (60) days of commencing negotiations, or if SFDC fails to notify Licensee of its interest in pursuing negotiations within the notice period, Licensee will thereafter have the right to offer the Future IP to third parties without further obligation to SFDC.

5.	Localization.

5.1. Localization Obligations. Promptly following the Effective Date, SFDC shall commence development of a localizable version of the Software and the SFDC Web Site in consultation with Licensee and in accordance with one or more Statements of Work to be executed by SFDC and Licensee and incorporated herein.

Licensee will reimburse SFDC for its actual, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing the development (i.e., costs of economy travel to Japan, if necessary and requested by Licensee, but not any allocated overhead or fixed costs). SFDC shall use reasonable efforts to manage the process and substance of the development in order to minimize expenses. As SFDC develops new versions of or modifications to the SFDC Service, or plans and develops additional features and functions to be added to the SFDC Service, SFDC and Licensee will communicate closely and collaborate during all stages of such planning, development and testing processes to ensure both the smooth development of Localized Products based on such new versions, features, or functions and the timely release of such Localized Products to Customers.

5.2. Localization Standards. The Localized Software, Localized Web Site, Localized System Technology, and the resulting Japan Service shall have approximately the same functionality, features and performance as the Software, SFDC Web Site, System Technology and SFDC Service.

Licensee shall not place any advertisements or promotions (for non-Licensee products and services) on the Localized Web Site without SFDC’s prior written consent. SFDC shall not place any such content, advertising or links on the Localized Web Site without Licensee’s prior written consent and shall not be entitled to receive any revenues in connection with any such items.

5.4. Acceptance Testing. SFDC acknowledges that the quality and accuracy of the Localized Products are important to Licensee. Promptly upon completion, SFDC shall deliver each Statement of Work deliverable to Licensee. Licensee shall then test and evaluate the deliverable to determine whether the associated Localized Product is suitable for commercial release. Such determination shall be based on, among other things, the functionality and public performance of the Localized Software. SFDC shall not use the Localized Products unless and until SFDC obtains prior written approval from Licensee. In the event Licensee determines that a Localized Product is not suitable for commercial release, Licensee may, at its option, grant SFDC a further thirty (30) day period (or such longer period as the Parties may agree upon) in which to correct any inaccuracies, inadequacies, inconsistencies, defects, deficiencies or other problems in the deliverables; or, with SFDC’s consent and cooperation, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, correct the deliverables.

In connection with any such audit, the Auditing Party shall cause the Auditor to enter into a mutually agreeable nondisclosure agreement with the Audited Party which shall restrict the Auditor from disclosing to the Auditing Party any of the Audited Party’s books of account, or the contents thereof, other than whether or not the amounts of fees or expenses previously reported to the Auditing Party for the audited period are accurate and the amount of any payments due or over-paid for the audited period. Audits shall occur no more than once a year during the normal business hours of the Audited Party. The Audited Party shall not be required to retain supporting records, except as required by local laws, for a period more than one (1) year after the rendition of any statement. Each Party’s audit rights under this provision shall continue for one year after the termination of this Agreement.

8.4. Taxes. If Licensee is required by law to pay any tax on or to make any deduction or to withhold any amount from any sum payable to SFDC by Licensee on behalf of SFDC hereunder, Licensee is hereby authorized to remit such amounts to the appropriate governmental authorities and Licensee shall promptly furnish SFDC with appropriate evidence of such payment

8.5. Pricing. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit or restrict the freedom of Licensee to determine the resale price for the Japan Service.

9.	Term and Termination.

9.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain in effect in perpetuity unless and until terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may agree in any Statement of Work that any of the services may be appropriately phased out and terminated prior to the end of the term of this Agreement.

9.2. Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by a Party for cause immediately by written notice upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

The commencement of a petition, proceeding or case seeking the other Party’s bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or readjustment of its debts, or seeking the appointment of a receiver, trustee or the like of itself or its assets, or otherwise seeking relief from its creditors and, in the case of an involuntary petition, proceeding or case, such petition, proceeding or case continues undismissed for, or an order approving or ordering any of the foregoing is entered and is not stayed within, sixty (60) calendar days; or

If the other Party materially breaches any material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of written notice describing the breach in reasonable detail.

9.3. Termination by Licensee. This Agreement may be terminated, without cause, by Licensee upon 180 days’ advance written notice to SFDC.

9.4. Automatic Termination. Subject to Section 9.6, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective termination date of the JV Agreement between the Parties of even date hereto.

9.5. Return of Property. Within thirty (30) days after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall return to the other Party, or at the other Party’s request destroy, all copies or portions of all information and materials containing or constituting Confidential Information or Trademarks of the other Party, provided however that a Party may, during the Transition Period, retain such portions of Confidential Information and Trademarks reasonably necessary to exercise its rights and perform its obligations pursuant to Section 9.6. Upon completion of the Transition Period, at the other Party’s request, a Party shall furnish to the other Party an affidavit signed by an officer of such Party certifying that, to the best of its knowledge, such delivery or destruction has been fully effected.

9.6. Transition Period. For a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of termination notice (“Transition Period”), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to permit Customers to smoothly transition with minimum disruption from the Japan Service offered by Licensee under this Agreement to a substitute service. Such efforts shall include, without limitation, the following: (a) subject to the following Section 9.6(C), Licensee will deliver a notice (“Notice”) to then-current Customers and Distributors under contract with Licensee informing them that the Japan Service will terminate no later than the end of the Transition Period; (b) all licenses from one Party to the other Party will continue in effect during the Transition Period in accordance with their terms to permit the Parties to exercise their respective rights and perform their respective obligations during such period; (c) Licensee may continue to provide the Japan Service to then-existing Customers during the Transition Period; (d) SFDC will continue to provide such support, hosting and other services necessary to enable Licensee to continue to provide the Japan Service to existing Customers during the Transition Period; (d) Licensee will continue to pay to SFDC the percent of Net Revenues received with respect to the Transition Period in accordance with Section 8; (e) Licensee may continue to use “xxxxxxxxxx.xxx” in its corporate name but will take such steps as are necessary to remove such word from the registered corporate name of Licensee by the end of the Transition Period; and (f) all Customer licenses governing use of the Client Programs and User Documentation will survive in accordance with their terms. In addition, in the event that this Agreement is terminated:

by SFDC pursuant to Section 9.2, then the Notice will also inform Customers and Distributors of the availability of a comparable substitute service specified by SFDC; or

by Licensee pursuant to Section 9.2, then (i) SFDC shall deliver, to the extent not already delivered, all System Technology, any major or minor upgrades, updates, fixes, modifications, or enhancements to the System Technology, and all Localizations of the foregoing (and Licensee shall pay SFDC’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in completing such delivery); (ii) the Transition Period shall become perpetual (i.e. not limited to eighteen (18) months), provided Licensee may terminate the Transition Period by written notice to SFDC; and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing Section 9.6 (a), Licensee shall have no obligation to deliver a Notice to Customers and Distributors.

9.7. Survival. The defined terms and the provisions of Sections 4 (“Ownership”) (except for Section 4.4), 8 (“Payment”) (only to the extent any payments are owed to SFDC for Localization expenses or Net Revenues accrued prior to the date of termination of the Transition Period), 9 (“Term and Termination”), 10 (“Confidentiality”), 12 (“Indemnification”), 13 (“Limitation of Liability”), 14 (“General Provisions”) and 15 (“Dispute Resolution”) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

9.8. Continuing Liability. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation which has already accrued as of the effective date of such termination, and shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, which a Party may have hereunder, at law, equity or otherwise or which may arise out of or in connection with such termination.

9.9. Consequences of Termination. Except during the perpetual Transition Period, if applicable, as provided in Section 9.6, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall cease to promote or solicit new orders for subscriptions or licenses to the Localized Software. Upon termination or expiration of the Transition Period following termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever all licenses granted under this Agreement shall terminate and (a) Licensee shall immediately: (i) cease all use of System Technology and Localizations thereof; (ii) discontinue use of SFDC’s Trademarks, including without limitation, complete such steps as are necessary to change Licensee’s corporate name to remove “xxxxxxxxxx.xxx” therefrom; (iii) discontinue all representations or statements from which it might be inferred that any relationship exists between Licensee and SFDC; and (iv) return all System Technology and Localizations thereof to SFDC; and (v) assign to SFDC all of Licensee’s Trademarks which contain the name “xxxxxxxxxx.xxx”; and (b) SFDC shall immediately discontinue use of Licensee’s Trademarks.

10.1. Confidential Information. Each Party hereby agrees (i) to hold and to cause each of such Party’s agents, employees and representatives to hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence and to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information including, without limitation, all precautions the receiving Party employs with respect to its own confidential materials, (ii) not to divulge any such Confidential Information or any information derived therefrom (including, without limitation, by way of interviews, responses to questions or inquiries, press releases or otherwise) to any third person; (iii) not to make any use whatsoever at any time of such Confidential Information except as contemplated hereunder, and (iv) not to copy or reverse engineer any such Confidential Information.

has been rightfully received by the receiving Party from a third party and without breach of any obligation of confidentiality of such third party to the owner of the Confidential Information;

has been approved for release by written authorization of the owner of the Confidential Information; or

The Customer Data shall be deemed Licensee’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent it is required to be disclosed pursuant to a valid order or requirement of a governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the owner of the Confidential Information shall be given reasonable notice of such an order or requirement and the opportunity to contest it.

10.3. Limitation on the Flow of Information. The Parties shall endeavor to give access to the other Party’s Confidential Information only to such persons who are either bound by a professional duty of confidentiality or who require knowledge of the information as employees, representatives, authorized persons, advisors, officers or directors of the respective Party for orderly conduct of business of the Party concerned. Each Party shall also require the recipients of the other Party’s Confidential Information to undertake to keep such Confidential Information secret.

10.4. Duration of Obligation. The obligations of this Section 10 shall continue to be in full force with respect to a Party even after such Party shall have ceased to be a Party to this Agreement and shall survive with respect to each Party for five (5) years after (i) any termination or expiration of this Agreement or (ii) such Party shall have ceased to be a Party to this Agreement, whichever comes earlier.

11.

Representations and Warranties.

11.1. SFDC represents and warrants to Licensee that:

upon delivery, the Localized Software (in the form Localized and delivered by SFDC) will function in accordance with the mutually agreed upon specifications and Documentation therefor;

the Localized System Technology provided by SFDC will function at the approximately same level of responsiveness and efficiency in Licensee’s hosting environment as the System Technology does in SFDC’s own server environment, provided Licensee operates the System Technology in a server environment substantially similar to that of SFDC’s — including but not limited to network bandwidth and comparable equipment, servers, and third-party commercial software;

the Localized System Technology, in the form as Localized and delivered by SFDC, to the best of SFDC’s knowledge, (i) does not contain any computer virus and (ii) will not otherwise introduce any harmful or destructive code to the computers of Licensee, Distributors or Customers;

SFDC has good and marketable title to, and the right to license all of the System Technology and Localizations thereof provided by SFDC pursuant to this Agreement free and clear of all liens, security interests, and encumbrances;

no claims have been made or, to its knowledge, threatened, in respect of the System Technology or SFDC’s Trademarks, and no proceedings have been instituted or are pending or threatened that challenge the rights of SFDC in respect thereof, except that a general inquiry has been received from counsel representing “Xxxxxxxxxx0000.xxx”;

the use of the System Technology and Localizations thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement does not infringe the copyright or trade secret rights of any party, nor, to the best of SFDC’s knowledge, any patents or other rights of others; and

the System Technology and localizable versions thereof to be delivered to Licensee under this Agreement include all of the technology, except for third party equipment, hardware, and generally available commercial software, required for Licensee to be able to provide the Japan Service in the Territory in a manner comparable to the way the SFDC Service is provided by SFDC as of the date hereof.

11.2. Mutual Representations. Each Party warrants and represents that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (i) are within its corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on such Party’s part, and (iii) do not and will not contravene or constitute a default under, and are not and will not be inconsistent with, any judgment decree or order, or any contract, agreement, or other undertaking applicable to such Party.

11.3. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 11, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.

12.

Indemnification.

12.1. Indemnity Obligation. SFDC will (i) defend Licensee against any action or claim brought by a third party to the extent that it is based upon any claim that the System Technology, any SFDC Trademark or any Localizations thereof, as provided by SFDC to Licensee under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringe any U.S. or Japanese patent rights, copyright rights, or other intellectual property rights, or incorporates any misappropriated trade secrets (a “Claim”), and (ii) pay any liabilities, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, attributable to such Claim, provided that Licensee (i) promptly notifies SFDC in writing of the Claim; (ii) grants SFDC sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim; and (iii) provides SFDC with assistance, information, and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Claim. Licensee may retain its own counsel, at its own expense, to monitor the defense and settlement of the Claim. SFDC shall not enter any Settlement of a Claim affecting Licensee’s rights or obligations without Licensee’s written consent.

12.2. Additional Remedies. Without limiting SFDC obligations under the foregoing Section 12.1, if Licensee’s use of any of the System Technology or SFDC Trademarks as Localized hereunder becomes subject to a Claim, or in SFDC’s opinion is likely to become subject to a Claim, SFDC may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using such System Technology, SFDC Trademark or Localization thereof under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify such System Technology, SFDC Trademark or Localization thereof so that it is non-infringing, provided, however, that any such efforts do not substantially diminish the functionality of the System Technology or Localization thereof.

12.3. Exclusions. SFDC will have no obligations under this Section 12 if (i) the infringement is caused by the use of non-SFDC products in combination with the System Technology, SFDC Trademark or Localization thereof where such infringement would not have arisen but for such combination, or (ii) the infringement is caused by the use of other than the current version of the localizable Software if the current version would be non-infringing, provided that such current version had been provided to Licensee a sufficient time prior to such infringement arising to allow Licensee to distribute (and Localize, if necessary) such current version to its customer base.

13.

Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10 AND SFDC’s INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

14.

General Provisions.

Except as expressly agreed by the Parties in writing, neither Party shall have any right or authority, express or implied, to assume or create any obligation of any kind, or to make any representation or warranty, on behalf of the other Party or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

contemporaneous written or oral agreements, representations or promises of the Parties (if any), relating to the subject matter hereof.

14.3. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations created hereunder may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, or by operation of law, or otherwise, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, either Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the other Party’s consent in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock or its merger with or into another entity.

14.8. Waivers. The failure of either Party to enforce or to exercise, at any time or for any period of time, any right or remedy arising pursuant to or under this Agreement does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, a waiver of such right or remedy and shall in no way affect that Party’s right to enforce or exercise it at a later time, provided that such right or remedy is not time-barred or otherwise precluded by law or by a writing expressly waiving such right or remedy and signed by that Party seeking to assert such right or remedy.

14.9. Exhibits. All exhibits to this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to an exhibit shall be deemed to be references to an exhibit of this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.

Dispute Resolution.

15.1. Disputes. The Parties agree that any dispute, controversy, question or claim concerning, arising out of, or relating to the performance, interpretation or construction of this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 15.1. Without in any way limiting the right of a Party to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 15.5 hereof, if at any time a Dispute arises, at the request of either Party, the Parties shall meet, within twenty (20) calendar days of written notice that there is a Dispute, in San Francisco, California or confer by telephone in an effort to discuss in good faith and to reach an amicable resolution to such Dispute. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve any Dispute through direct discussions. If the Parties are unable to settle on a resolution agreeable to both Parties within sixty (60) calendar days following the written notice of Dispute, the Parties shall undertake to resolve the Dispute pursuant to Section 15.2 below.

15.2. Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute pursuant to Section 15.1 above, the Dispute shall be settled, at the request of either Party, by arbitration conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (or then existing rules for commercial arbitration) of the American Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California, in the event that the request is made by Licensee, or in Tokyo, Japan, in the event that the request is made by SFDC. The arbitration of such issues, including the determination of any amount of damages to be awarded, shall be final and binding upon the Parties, except that the arbitrator shall not be authorized to award punitive damages with respect to any such Dispute. Neither Party shall seek punitive damages relating to any matter under or arising out of this Agreement in any other forum. Any arbitrator may be of any nationality. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

15.3. Confidentiality of Proceedings. The dispute resolution proceedings contemplated by this Section 15 shall be as confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the Parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this provision, and materials prepared or submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding, provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law.

15.4. Arbitral Tribunal. All arbitral awards shall be rendered in writing and shall state the reasons for the award. Any arbitral tribunal established hereunder shall make such decisions entirely on the basis of the substantive law specified in Section 14.14 hereof and shall not make an award on the basis of the principle of ex aequo et xxxx (in justice and fairness) or otherwise. The arbitral tribunal shall not be empowered to award any form of punitive damages or any other remedy not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages or to act as amiable compositeur. The arbitral tribunal may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party.

15.5. Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree that, in addition to any and all other remedies that may be available under this Agreement and its Exhibits, each Party shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.6. Cost. Each Party shall bear its own cost of the arbitration; provided, that the costs of the arbitrators shall be borne and paid equally by both Parties.

15.8. Corrupt Practices. SFDC and Licensee agree to conform with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and will not offer any payment or other gift or promise, or authorize the giving of anything of value, for the purpose of influencing an act or decision of an official of any government or of an employee of any company in order to assist SFDC or Licensee in obtaining, retaining, or directing any business.

15.9. Nature of Rights. The parties agree that the rights granted to Licensee hereunder are rights in “intellectual property” within the scope of Section 101 (or its successors) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”). Licensee shall have the rights set forth herein with respect to the Localized Products and System Technology when and as developed or created. In addition, Licensee, as a licensee of intellectual property rights hereunder, shall have and may fully exercise all rights available to a licensee under the Code, including, without limitation, under Section 365(n) or its successors. In the event of a case under the Code involving Licensor, Licensee shall have the right to obtain (and SFDC or any trustee for SFDC or its assets shall, at Licensee’s written request, deliver to Licensee) a copy of all embodiments (including, without limitation, any work in progress) of any intellectual property rights granted hereunder, including, without limitation, embodiments of any Localized Products and System Technology and any SFDC Confidential Information or any other intellectual property necessary or desirable for Licensee to use or exploit any Localized Products and System Technology or to exercise its rights hereunder.

EXHIBIT B

SUPPORT SERVICES AND SERVICE LEVELS

This Exhibit describes the software support services that SFDC will provide during and following the Initial Phase and the service levels that SFDC will meet during only the Initial Phase.

For purposes of this exhibit, “Licensed Software” refers to any Software that is reasonably necessary and relevant for the establishment and operation of the Japan Service, regardless of the degree to which it has been Localized, if applicable. For example, “Licensed Software” includes, (a) during the Initial Phase, any Client Software or API software for remotely modifying or accessing the Japan Service or Customer Data, and (b) following the Initial Phase, any Server Software and application software within the System Technology, as Localized, used in hosting the Japan Service in Japan.

I.	SUPPORT SERVICES

1.	Definitions.

Unless defined otherwise herein, capitalized terms used in this Exhibit shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement.

(a) “Error” means any failure of the Licensed Software to conform in any material respect with its published specifications.

(b) “Error Correction” means either a bug fix, patch, or other modification or addition that brings the Licensed Software into material conformity with its published performance specifications.

(c) “Priority A Error” means an Error which renders the Licensed Software inoperative or causes a complete failure of the Licensed Software.

(d) “Priority B Error” means an Error which substantially degrades the performance of the Licensed Software or materially restricts Licensee’s or a Customer’s use of the Licensed Software.

(e) “Priority C Error” means an Error which causes only a minor impact on Licensee’s or a Customer’s use of the Licensed Software.

(f) “Support Services” means SFDC’s support services as described in this Exhibit B.

(g) “Update” means any new commercially available or deployable version of the Licensed Software, which may include Error Corrections, enhancements or other modifications, issued by SFDC from time to time to its licensees or service resellers or used by SFDC in the SFDC Service.

2.	Licensee Obligations.

Licensee or its Distributors will provide first level support to customers with respect to the Licensed Software. Such support is intended to be the “front line” for customer support and information. SFDC will provide to Licensee training, documentation, and materials with respect to the provision of such technical support as provided in this Agreement. Licensee shall assist SFDC in information gathering so that SFDC can perform the problem identification and isolation function with respect to reported Errors. All Error reports which the Licensee or Distributor support personnel cannot handle will be referred to SFDC by Licensee for handling as described in Section 3 of this Exhibit B.

3.	SFDC Support.

(a) Scope. As further described herein, SFDC’s Support Services consist of (i) Error Correction of Errors reported by Licensee that Licensee support personnel are unable to resolve using its first level support, and (ii) periodic delivery of Error Corrections and Updates when SFDC deploys them in the SFDC Service. SFDC’s Support Services will be available to Licensee 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, to the extent practicable.

(b) Procedure.

(i) Report of Error. In reporting any Error, the Licensee support personnel making such a report will describe to the SFDC support personnel the Error in reasonable detail and the circumstances under which the Error occurred or is occurring and will initially classify the Error as a Priority A, B or C Error. SFDC, after careful review and consultation with Licensee, reserves the right to reclassify the Priority of the Error if reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances.

(ii) Efforts Required. SFDC shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct any Error reported by Licensee’s support personnel in accordance with the priority level assigned to such Error by Licensee.

A. In the event of Priority A Errors, SFDC will within one hour of Licensee’s report commence verification of the Error and, upon verification, will initiate work to provide Licensee with an Error Correction. SFDC will work diligently to verify the Error and, once an Error has been verified, and until an Error Correction has been provided to Licensee, shall use commercially reasonable, diligent efforts to provide a workaround for the Error as soon as reasonably practicable.

AMENDMENT #1 TO LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Amendment #1 is entered into this 28^th day of February, 2001 by and between xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SFDC”) and xxxxxxxxxx.xxx Japan, Ltd., a Japanese corporation (“Licensee”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to a joint venture agreement dated as of December 7,2000 (the “JV Agreement”), SFDC and Licensee entered into a license dated as of January 19, 2001 (the “License Agreement”).

WHEREAS, SFDC and Licensee desire to amend the License Agreement to better reflect the agreement by and between the parties.

NOW THEREFORE, SFDC and Licensee agree to the following amendments to the License Agreement:

1.	Section 4.4 is replaced in its entirety with the following:

Right of First Refusal. Licensee hereby grants to SFDC a right of first refusal to license, for use outside the Territory and not in connection with products or services targeted primarily at Customers or the Japanese market, any intellectual property, and associated Intellectual Property Rights, developed and owned by Licensee, including without limitation, patents, trademarks and know-how, except to the extent Licensee is prevented from granting such rights due to a pre-existing binding obligation to a third party governing such development (“Future IP”). Within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice from Licensee describing any such Future IP, SFDC will notify Licensee of whether it is interested in pursuing negotiations to license such Future IP. If SFDC notifies Licensee of such interest, the Parties agree to enter into arm’s-length negotiations to determine the terms and conditions of such license. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such terms and conditions within sixty (60) days of commencing negotiations, or if SFDC fails to notify Licensee of its interest in pursuing negotiations within the notice period, Licensee will thereafter have the right to offer the Future IP to third parties without further obligation to SFDC.

2.	Section 9.6 is replaced in its entirety with the following:

Transition Period. For a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of termination notice (“Transition Period”; the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to permit Customers to smoothly transition with minimum disruption from the Japan Service offered by Licensee under this Agreement to a substitute service. Such efforts shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) subject to the following Section 9.6(B), Licensee will deliver a notice (“Notice”) to then-current Customers and Distributors under contract with Licensee informing them that the Japan Service will terminate no later than the end of the Transition Period; (ii) all licenses from one Party to the other Party will continue in effect during the Transition Period in accordance with their terms to permit the Parties to exercise their respective rights and perform their respective obligations during such period; (iii) Licensee may continue to provide the Japan Service to then-existing Customers during the Transition Period; (iv) SFDC will continue to provide such support, hosting and other services necessary to enable Licensee to continue to provide the Japan Service to existing Customers during the Transition Period; (v) Licensee will continue to pay to SFDC the percent of Net Revenues received with respect to the Transition Period in accordance with Section 8; (vi) Licensee may continue to use “xxxxxxxxxx.xxx” in its corporate name but will take such steps as are necessary to remove such word from the registered corporate name of Licensee by the end of the Transition Period; and (vii) all Customer licenses governing use of the Client Programs and User Documentation will survive in accordance with their terms. In addition, in the event that this Agreement is terminated:

(A) by SFDC pursuant to Section 9.2, then the Notice will also inform Customers and Distributors of the availability of a comparable substitute service specified by SFDC; or

(B) by Licensee pursuant to Section 9.2, then (i) SFDC shall deliver, to the extent not already delivered, all System Technology, any major or minor upgrades, updates, fixes, modifications, or enhancements to the System Technology, and all Localizations of the foregoing (and Licensee shall pay SFDC’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in completing such delivery); (ii) the Transition Period shall become perpetual (i.e. not limited to eighteen (18) months), provided that Licensee may terminate the Transition Period by written notice to SFDC and that in no event shall the Transition Period continue for more than eighteen (18) months beyond the effective termination date of the JV Agreement, and (iii) notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.6, Licensee shall have no obligation to deliver a Notice to Customers and Distributors.

Except as specifically amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment #1 to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers.
