When advertising, partners should use their own company/product/service logos. They may in addition use their assigned SP Partner logo, but only to underline the compatibility of the advertised products and services with SP in the relevant area as set forth in the corresponding SAP Portals Strategic Sales & Marketing Alliance Agreement and to highlight the partnership with SP in this context.

Confidential Page 14 of 28 12/17/2001 SP Standard Terms & Condition -- Technology & Content Partner Agreement APPENDIX 4 SUPPORT SERVICES 1. SUPPORT PROCESS DESCRIPTION 1.1 Partner shall develop and maintain a technical support e-mail address contact that Customers, SP consultants and other SP partners can use to submit general questions, product inquiries and problem messages referring to the Integration and Content. All questions, product inquiries and problem messages related to the Enterprise Portal, BI or the Interface shall be in SP's responsibility. All other inquiries and problem messages shall be in Partner's responsibility. 1.2 For general e-mail support inquiries concerning Integration or Content received through the Enterprise Portal or BI platform that are not considered to be in SP's responsibility as specified in SECTION 1.1 of this Appendix, Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to acknowledge receipt within 24 (twenty-four) hours (IRT). If a general inquiry cannot be satisfied within 5 (five) business days, the Partner will continue to follow-up on a weekly basis with the Customer and provide a status update until the inquiry is satisfied. Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to achieve call closure on all general inquiries within 10 (ten) days. 1.3 When the Partner receives problem messages, Partner shall use its diligent and reasonable efforts to determinate whether a case is due to a problem with the Integration, Content, Interface, Enterprise Portal, or BI. 1.3.1 If the case appears to be related to the Integration or Content, Partner shall perform support within the timeframe specified in TABLE "CASE PRIORITY RESPONSE TIMES" in SECTION 2 of this Appendix. 1.3.2 If the Partner, despite its reasonable efforts and the best of its knowledge cannot resolve the case and it appears to be a problem related to the Enterprise Portal or BI platforms, Partner's support organization shall refer the case back to the Customer as quick as possible, and, inform the Customer their message cannot be solved by the Partner, and that the Customer has to contact SP Support directly and create an SP message in their regular SP support system in order to provide SP with all case-specific data necessary for SP for the solution delivery. 1.3.3 Partner's support organization shall include specific identification of the cause of the problem where possible, and, provide tests to the extent practicable in the circumstances. The Customer shall then send this data together with the problem message to SP to allow identification of the problem environment. 1.4 When SP receives a Customer message not related to the Enterprise Portal or BI platforms, SP shall as soon as possible ask the Customer to directly contact the Partner for support. 1.5 In order to guarantee standard and consistent cooperative support, including message handling, escalation of cases and general support, contact information will be provided between both parties as specified in EXHIBIT I. 2. SUPPORT LEVEL 2.1 In order to ensure SP's support of SP products and Partner's support of partner products towards Customers, in compliance with the case definitions specified in this Section and SECTION 1 of this Appendix, Partner agrees to respond to the customers in accordance with the time frame defined in SECTION 1.2 and 1.3 of this Appendix. SP shall respond to the customers as shown in the table below for all problem cases that might arise in relation with the Enterprise Portal or BI, and forward to Partner all messages not related to SP as defined in SECTION 1.4 of this Appendix. TABLE: "CASE PRIORITY RESPONSE TIMES"

Priority 1: all messages have to be processed 7x24 Priority 2-4: all messages are processed in normal business hours. Confidential Page 15 of 28 12/17/2001 SP Standard Terms & Condition -- Technology & Content Partner Agreement Definition of Case Severity: "Emergency case" Shall mean any case with complete standstill of a productive system and severe impairment of vital functions. "Critical case" Shall mean any case with impact on the production system, with serious failure of central functions, or leading to a serious interruption of business or having an intermediate financial impact on business. "Non-critical case" Shall mean any case leading to interruptions in normal operations caused by a malfunctioning or unavailable function in the respective product. "Minor case" Shall mean any case with no or only minor interruptions in normal operations. This is caused by mal-functioning or unavailable functions in the SAP system that are not required on a daily basis or not used regularly. 2.2. In order to ensure SP's support to Customers, Partner shall make available the necessary infrastructure and equipment to provide (remote) support worldwide for the cases specified in Section 1.1 to 1.4 of this Appendix. Partner agrees to establish an escalation procedure to handle escalated situations according to Section 3 of this Appendix. 2.3 Each party shall respond to and use reasonable efforts to resolve Customer cases in a prompt manner. Each party acknowledges that, despite a party's reasonable efforts, not all problems may be solvable. 3. ESCALATION OF CUSTOMER PROBLEMS 3.1 The escalation procedure ("Escalation") will be applied as described hereafter when either party believes a customer situation requires additional attention by the other party to resolve the problem. Escalation is triggered by the Customer, by high levels of Customer anxiety and/or Customer complaint, as well as by one or both parties. 3.2 Both parties agree to designate regional escalation contacts that will cooperate closely in case of escalation and agree to involve this regional escalation contact if the case cannot be solved on a local level. 3.3 Either party's escalation contact or support engineer may call the other party's escalation contact. When a party requests escalation both parties must commonly agree to escalate the case and must coordinate an action plan to resolve the Customers' problem. The minimum steps are (a) to address resources or increase them if already addressed; (b) to define responsibilities for each action; (c) to define expected completion of each action; (d) to define contingency/next steps if desired results are not achieved. The escalation procedure can be modified upon mutual agreement among the designated contacts whenever the situation requires. 3.4 Each party shall designate in Exhibit 1 of this Appendix, names and direct dial telephone numbers of the escalation contacts. The designated escalation contact(s) may be changed at any time by verbal notice to the other party confirmed in writing. The designated escalation contact(s) shall monitor the support processes and co-operate in any possible escalation process. Partner may assign additional persons to the escalation team upon mutual consent. 3.5 The parties agree escalation contacts shall be available within normal business hours to handle emergency situations. If required, both parties agree to staff a de-escalation taskforce on-site if need be. Both parties will mutually agree how costs will be distributed between the parties according to the reasons of escalation. 3.6 The common de-escalation taskforce will be set up upon mutual agreement between the Customer, Partner and SP. This on-site taskforce can be kept in place for several weeks, if the circumstances so require. 3.7 When both parties state the problem is resolved or the situation no longer requires escalation, the escalation is closed. Each party will exchange with the other party the final reports summarizing the actions taken and results of these actions, likelihood of problem recurrence and recommended future actions.
