Licensee is responsible for all travel and related expenses incurred by Operix as a result of travel requested by Licensee in the performance of Services. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

2. Disputed Charge. If Licensee disputes any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good faith discussions between the parties, Licensee shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement less the disputed amount, and the parties shall diligently proceed to resolve such disputed amount. An amount will be considered disputed in good faith if (i) Licensee delivers a written statement to Sage on or before the due date of the invoice, describing in detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by Licensee, (ii) such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from Licensee that are not in dispute have been paid as and when required under this Agreement.

3. Overdue Payments. Licensee agrees to pay a late charge of 1% per month (12% per annum), or the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, for all amounts not subject to a good faith dispute and not paid when due, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, plus all attorneys fees and expenses of collection. Furthermore, if Licensee’s account is 15 days or more overdue, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, Operix reserves the right to suspend the Services provided to Licensee, without liability to Licensee, until such amounts are paid in full.

6. Confidentiality

1. Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each party will regard any information provided to it by the other party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall also include information which, to a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the industry in which it operates, is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The receiving party shall hold in confidence, and shall not disclose (or permit or suffer its personnel to disclose) any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to an Affiliate, director, officer, employee, independent contractors, subcontractor, outside consultant, or advisor (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties for the receiving party and who are bound by a duty of confidentiality no less protective of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information than this Agreement. The receiving party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Each party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used. The parties expressly agree that the terms and pricing of this Agreement are Confidential Information and Licensee further agrees that it shall not use the Hosted Services for the purposes of conducting comparative analysis, evaluations or product benchmarks with respect to the Hosted Services and will not publicly post any analysis or reviews of the Hosted Services without Operix’s prior written approval. A receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing party in enforcing its rights.

2. Exclusions. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process or government regulation, provided that it gives the disclosing party reasonable prior written notice to permit the disclosing party to contest such disclosure, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.

3. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both parties acknowledge that any use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the disclosing party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate. Therefore, both parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing party may be entitled hereunder, at law or equity, the disclosing party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.

7. Lmiited Warranty

1. Hosted Service Warranty. Operix warrants that during the term of any Order Schedule for the Hosted Service the Hosted Service will conform, in all material respects, with its Documentation.

Operix makes no warranty regarding features or services provided by third parties. For any breach of the above warranty, Operix will, at no additional cost to Licensee, provide remedial services necessary to enable the Services to conform to the warranty. Licensee will provide Operix with a reasonable opportunity to remedy any breach and reasonable assistance in remedying any defects.

2. Professional Services Warranty. Operix warrants that any Professional Services provided hereunder shall be provided in a competent manner in accordance with any specifications set forth in the Order Schedule or SOW (as the case may be), in all material respects. Operix further warrants that any Work Product provided pursuant to any Professional Services engagement shall comply, in all material respects, with the specifications set forth in the applicable Order Schedule or SOW. If the Services are not performed as warranted or the Work Product does not so comply, then, upon Licensee’s written request, Operix shall promptly re-perform, or cause to be re-performed, such Professional Services, at no additional charge to Licensee. Such warranties and other obligations shall only survive for thirty (30) days following the completion of the Professional Services or the delivery of each applicable portion of the Work Product, as the case may be. Such re-performance shall be Licensee’s exclusive remedy and Operix’s sole liability for any such non-performance. If, however, after repeated efforts, Operix is unable to remedy such defect in any Work Product, then Licensee’s sole remedy and Operix’s entire liability shall be to refund to Licensee any amounts previously paid by Licensee for the particular deficient Professional Services or Work Product (it being acknowledged that the refunded portion shall only be for the actual deficient Professional Services or Work Product and not any other portion of the Professional Services or Work Product).

3. No Other Warranty. Operix DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE OVERALL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE HOSTED SERVICE AVAILABLE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTERNET, OTHER TRANSMISSION NETWORKS, AND CUSTOMER’S LOCAL NETWORK AND EQUIPMENT) WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 7.1 AND SECTION 7.2 ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY Operix. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

2. Limitation of Liability. THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF Operix AND ITS LICENSORS TO LICENSEE FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING BY STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE SERVICES FEES PAID BY LICENSEE TO Operix UNDER THE ORDER SCHEDULE OR SOW FOR THE SERVICES WHICH FORM THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. The provisions of this Agreement allocate risks between the parties. The pricing set forth in each Order Schedule and SOW reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.

9. Term

1. Term. These Terms & Conditions will commence on the Effective Date as set forth above and will continue in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below. The term of each Order Schedule for the Hosted Service shall be set forth on the Order Schedule. Upon the expiration of the initial term of any Order Schedule or any renewal term, unless either party provides the other with written notice of its election not to renew such Order Schedule at least thirty (30) days prior to such renewal date, the Order Schedule will automatically renew, for a term equal in duration to the initial term of such Order Schedule at the rates specified on the Order Schedule. Operix reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges and usage policies and to introduce new charges, for such Order Schedule upon providing Licensee written notice thereof (which notice may be provided by e-mail) at least 60 days prior to the then current renewal date.

2. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order Schedule or SOW (i) immediately in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or any such Order Schedule or SOW by the other party that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof from the other party, or (ii) immediately if the other party ceases doing business or is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing. Termination of an Order Schedule or SOW shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall, however, terminate all outstanding Order Schedules and SOWs.3. Suspension. Licensee agrees that Operix may suspend Licensee’s access to the Hosted Service if Operix reasonably concludes that: (i) Licensee is using the Hosted Service in violation of Section 2.

3; (ii) Licensee is engaged in denial of service attacks, spamming, or illegal activity, and/or (iii) use of the Hosted Service by Licensee is causing immediate, material and ongoing harm to Operix or any third party. Operix will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensee of such suspension promptly (via phone or email), and to limit the suspension to the offending portion of the Hosted Service and resolve the issues causing the suspension of Hosted Service.

In addition to the foregoing, Operix also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend providing the Services and Licensee agrees that Operix may shut off and suspend Licensee’s access to the Hosted Service at any time, without having to terminate this Agreement or an Order Schedule, if Licensee is more than thirty (30) days late with respect to any payments due hereunder. Upon such suspension, Licensee shall still be liable for all payments that have accrued prior to the date of suspension and that will accrue throughout the remainder of the term. Licensee agrees that Operix shall not be liable to Licensee nor to any third party for any suspension of the Hosted Service under such circumstances as described in this Section 9.3.

4. Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any applicable Order Schedule or SOW, Operix shall no longer provide the applicable Services to Licensee and Licensee shall cease and cause its Users to cease using the Services. Upon termination of this Agreement or any applicable Order Schedule for the Hosted Service by Operix due to Licensee’s uncured breach, in addition to any other remedies Operix may have for such breach at law or in equity, Licensee shall pay Operix for all fees that had accrued prior to the termination date and, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Licensee shall continue to pay Operix for all monthly service fees that would have continued to accrue through the end of the then current term of the Order Schedule had it not been so terminated. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Operix will not be obligated to restore access to the Services until Licensee has paid all fees owed to Operix. Except as expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement by either party will be a nonexclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, subject to Section 9.5 below. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Order Schedule and SOW.

5. Handling of Licensee Content Upon Termination. Licensee agrees that following termination of Licensee’s account and/or use of the Hosted Service, Operix may immediately deactivate Licensee’s account and that following a reasonable period of not less than 30 days shall be entitled to delete Licensee’s account and all associated Licensee Content.

If the Services or Work Product are held to infringe, Operix will, at its own expense, in its sole discretion use commercially reasonable efforts either (a) to procure a license that will protect Licensee against such claim without cost to Licensee; (b) to replace the Services or Work Product with non-infringing Services or Work Product; or (c) if (a) and (b) are not commercially feasible, terminate the Agreement or the applicable Order Schedule or SOW and refund to the Licensee any prepaid unused fees paid to Operix for the infringing Services or Work Product.

3 above or violation of any applicable law.3. Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified party shall (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, and (ii) allow the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
