Recitals
     A. DemandTec and Representative are parties to that certain Outsourcing Services Agreement dated August 20, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which DemandTec engaged Service Provider to perform certain engineering and support services.
     B. The parties desire to terminate the Original Agreement and to restate their respective rights and obligations as set forth herein.
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agrees as follows:
     1. Services; Resources; Security.
     1.1 The specific services to be provided by Service Provider (the “Services”) shall be set forth in individual Statements of Work substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A that may be executed from time to time by the parties (each a “SOW”) and attached to this Agreement. Service Provider shall be responsible to provide the tools and basic know-how used in each project. Upon the reasonable request of DemandTec, Service Provider agrees to prepare and submit progress reports to DemandTec/meet with DemandTec detailing the progress being made on each assigned project.
     1.2 The Services shall be performed by employees and/or consultants supplied by Service Provider (each a “Resource”). Service Provider shall be solely responsible for the compensation, withholdings and benefits for each such Resource. All Resources (a) will be skilled, experienced technicians capable of performing the Services in a professional, workmanlike manner; (b) are not, and will not be at any time while assigned to perform the Services, restricted by contract or otherwise in any way from performing the Services; and (c) if Resources perform Services in the U.S., will have at all times while assigned to perform the Services valid and legal work status under the regulations of the U.S.

- 1 -


 

Immigration and Naturalization Service. Prior to commencing any work for DemandTec, each Resource shall execute a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement in the form of Exhibit B, and each such agreement shall be provided to DemandTec upon request. During the term of a particular SOW, Resources assigned to perform the Services under that SOW shall not be assigned to or perform any work on behalf of any entity other than DemandTec unless DemandTec consents thereto in writing.
     1.3 Before Service Provider assigns a Resource to perform Services under a SOW, DemandTec will have the opportunity to review such Resource’s qualifications and, within its reasonable discretion, approve the assignment of each such individual proposed by Service Provider. DemandTec may, in its reasonable discretion and at any time during the term of the relevant SOW, require Service Provider to remove a Resource from performing the Services. If DemandTec requests a replacement Resource, Service Provider will to the extent reasonably available, provide DemandTec with a suitable replacement at substantially the same level of experience and at the same billing rates as the individual being replaced. Service Provider will advise all Resources that perform Services under a SOW of the applicable terms of this Agreement and the relevant SOW and ensure each such individual’s compliance with such terms.
     1.4 At all times while performing Services under this Agreement, Service Provider shall comply with the security measures set forth on Exhibit C.
     2. Deliverables; Acceptance.
     2.1 Service Provider agrees to deliver the deliverables, if any, set forth in each SOW (“Deliverables”) in conformance with the specifications and schedule specified in the relevant SOW. Service Provider shall determine the time, place, methods, details and means of performing the Services.
     2.2 When Service Provider considers a Deliverable completed, Service Provider will deliver it to DemandTec for acceptance. DemandTec will accept or reject the Deliverable within ten working days after delivery, specifying any material failures of the Deliverable to meet the requirements therefore stated in the relevant SOW. If DemandTec rejects the Deliverable in accordance with the foregoing, Service Provider will use its best efforts to correct the failures specified in the rejection notice within five working days of the rejection notice and the provisions above shall be reapplied until the Deliverable is accepted. After the third or any subsequent rejection or if the corrections are not made within ten working days of the initial rejection, DemandTec may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Service Provider.

     3. Compensation; Billing Procedures.
     3.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, DemandTec will pay Service Provider for Services in accordance with the relevant SOW; provided that if no payment arrangement is so specified in the SOW, Service Provider shall submit monthly invoices to DemandTec at the end of the month detailing the Services performed and the fees incurred in the previous month. DemandTec shall pay Service Provider all undisputed fees within 30 days of its receipt of invoice.
     3.2 To reflect the exchange fluctuation of Ren-min-bi (RMB) for the Agreement, should fluctuations in the RMB – US$ exchange rate occur during the term hereof, the fees payable hereunder shall be adjusted by fifty percent (50%) of the total fluctuation, effective in the month following an official government announcement. An adjusting to the full exchange rate will be discussed and effective with the following contract and renewal period.
     4. Term and Termination.
     4.1 This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as described in this Section 4, shall continue for a term of three (3) years, subject to renewal by mutual agreement of the parties.
     4.2 If either party materially breaches this Agreement the other party may terminate this Agreement by giving the breaching party 30 days written notice of such breach, unless the breach is cured within the notice period. DemandTec also may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon providing six months’ advance written notice, over which time DemandTec may gradually scale back Services required so as to reduce required Resources a maximum of 15% per month. Any such termination may, at DemandTec’s option, be limited to one or more SOWs, in which case, the consequences of termination will be limited to the subject matter of those SOWs.
     4.3 In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the closing of the business transfer outlined in Section 5 below.
     4.4 Upon termination of this Agreement (except if DemandTec terminates this Agreement for a material breach by Service Provider), DemandTec agrees to pay Service Provider all amounts due or accrued as of the date of such termination. Upon termination of this agreement for any reason, each party shall return to the other party all documents containing Confidential Information as well as all Work Product (as defined in Section 7.1) whether completed or not. Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

     5. Business Transfer Option. Service Provider hereby grants to DemandTec an irrevocable option to acquire the Resources and business assets of Service Provider that are used in connection with the performance of the Services on the general terms set forth herein. Such transfer shall be documented in a definitive transfer agreement in a form to be agreed by the parties, but which shall contain, at a minimum, usual and customary representations, warranties and indemnities of Service Provider. In order to exercise this option, DemandTec shall provide Service Provider with three (3) months’ advance written notice. Upon the closing of the transfer, DemandTec shall pay to Service Provider a transfer fee in an amount equal to eight times (8x) the total Service Fees paid by DemandTec to Service Provider in the three (3) months prior to the date on which DemandTec provides notice of its exercise of the transfer option.
     5.1 Employees. As part of the business transfer, DemandTec shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer employment to any or all of Service Provider’s then-current employees who are involved in the provision of Services or who provide support to the operation of the business unit providing the Services (including, for example, administrative staff, security personnel, receptionists and accounting personnel), in each case at salary levels and on other terms and conditions to be determined in DemandTec’s sole discretion. Service Provider agrees to use its best efforts to cause such current employees to make available their employment services to DemandTec. Any employment arrangements between DemandTec and Service Provider’s current employees will be negotiated directly between such employees and DemandTec. Service Provider will remain responsible for any obligations towards its employees that accrue before the closing of the transfer, including, without limitation, claims for wages, benefits or severance pay.
     5.2 Purchased Assets. In connection with the exercise of this option, DemandTec shall have the right to acquire all of Service Provider’s tangible and fixed assets relating to or used or held for use primarily in connection with the performance of the Services, including, without limitation, computer hardware, equipment, and the books, documents, records and files relating to the performance of the Services. The parties will identify all such assets in a schedule to be prepared prior to the closing of the sale and will exercise a Bill of Sale or other appropriate transfer document at the time of transfer.
     5.3 Transferred Agreements. DemandTec also shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume all agreements of Service Provider that relate to or are required in connection with the performance of the Services, including any equipment leases, security contracts, telephone, Internet or other infrastructure service agreements, to the extent permitted. In addition, DemandTec shall have the right to enter into a sublease agreement pursuant to which it will sublease the portion of Service Provider’s facilities that are used in connection with the provision of Services for the remainder of the term

- 4 -


 

of this Agreement. Rent and other commercial terms of any such arrangements shall be agreed to by the parties in good faith.
     5.4 No Assumed Liabilities. Except for any obligations expressly assumed by DemandTec under transferred agreements, DemandTec shall not assume or be deemed to assume any other liabilities, obligations or commitments of Service Provider of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, or accrued or unaccrued, including, without limitation, liabilities of Service Provider or which relate to the ownership or use of any of the assets purchased by DemandTec prior to the closing.
     6. Confidential Information. Service Provider understands that DemandTec possesses and will possess Confidential Information which is important to its business. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” is information that was or will be developed, created, or discovered by or on behalf of DemandTec, or which became or will become known by, or was or is conveyed to DemandTec (including, without limitation, Results), which has commercial value in DemandTec’s business. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, information about DemandTec’s finances, operations and maintenance, algorithms, trade secrets, computer programs, design, technology, ideas, know-how, processes, formulas, compositions, data, techniques, improvements, inventions (whether patentable or not), works of authorship, business and product development plans, customers and other information concerning DemandTec’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, or which is received in confidence by or for DemandTec from any other person. Confidential Information does not include information that Service Provider demonstrates to DemandTec’s reasonable satisfaction, by written evidence, (a) is in the public domain by reason of prior publication not directly or indirectly resulting from any act or omission of Service Provider, or (b) was already properly known to Service Provider (other than in connection with this consulting arrangement) without restriction on use or disclosure at the time of DemandTec’s disclosure to Service Provider. At all times, both during the term of this Agreement and after its termination, Service Provider will (and will cause each Resource to) keep in confidence and trust and not use or disclose any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of an officer of DemandTec. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Provider shall not reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to derive any source (or the underlying ideas, algorithms, formulas, structure or organization) of any computer programs provided to Service Provider in object code form, and Service Provider shall not modify, create derivative works of or copy any computer program provided by DemandTec except only to the extent required by a SOW. Service Provider acknowledges that any disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and cause substantial harm to DemandTec for which damages would not be a fully adequate remedy, and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other available remedies, DemandTec shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief. Service Provider understands that the consulting arrangement creates a relationship of confidence and trust between

EXHIBIT B
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that DemandTec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DemandTec”), Sonata Services Limited, a BVI company (“Sonata”), and the undersigned have had since the commencement of my services on behalf of Sonata for DemandTec in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Sonata:
1.   I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my services for Sonata. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Sonata and DemandTec in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Sonata. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.
2.   Sonata (and, by virtue of its agreement with Sonata, DemandTec) shall own all rights whether existing now or in the future including all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, sui generis database rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world and on a perpetual basis) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the period that I perform services on behalf of Sonata for DemandTec (collectively, “Inventions”). However, Inventions shall not include, any inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship that are made or, conceived and reduced to practice by me (i) entirely on my own time, (ii) without the use of Sonata’s or DemandTec’s resources or equipment, and (iii) that do not relate to Sonata’s or DemandTec’s actual or anticipated business, research or development. In consideration of the compensation payable to me under the terms of my employment by Sonata, I hereby make all assignments necessary to accomplish the foregoing. I shall further assist Sonata and, as applicable, DemandTec, at Sonata’s and DemandTec’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Except as otherwise provided under applicable law, this assignment shall not lapse in any circumstances including on the failure of Sonata or DemandTec to exercise the rights assigned hereunder for any period of time. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Sonata and, as the case may be, DemandTec as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and

- 3 -


 

    with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my services for Sonata that relates to DemandTec’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of the foregoing assignment, I have listed it on Appendix A in a manner that does not violate any third party rights. Without limiting Section 1 or Sonata’s or DemandTec’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Sonata , I use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Sonata and, as the case may be, DemandTec will have and I hereby grant Sonata and DemandTec a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights. This license shall not lapse in any circumstances including for non-exercise of such license by Sonata or DemandTec for any period of time.
 
3.   To the extent allowed by law, Section 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Sonata and DemandTec and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Sonata or DemandTec.
4.   I agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment with Sonata that relate to DemandTec or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec or that are received by or for DemandTec in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this Section with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon termination of my employment with Sonata, I will promptly return to Sonata and, as applicable, DemandTec all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of my compensation records and this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Sonata’s or DemandTec’s telecommunications, networking or information processing

    systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice. I agree that such Proprietary Information has been provided to me in trust and the breach thereof of the obligations herein relating to Proprietary Information shall be construed as a breach of trust for which all the civil and criminal consequences thereof shall follow.
 
5.   Until one year after the term of Sonata’s services for DemandTec has ended, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of DemandTec to leave DemandTec for any reason.
6.   I agree that during the term of my services on behalf of Sonata for DemandTec (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of DemandTec.
7.   I agree that (a) I am not an employee of DemandTec, and (b) this Agreement is not an employment contract or an obligation by DemandTec to obtain my services for any particular term. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, I am an employee of Sonata and not an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of DemandTec and shall not bind nor attempt to bind DemandTec to any contract. I shall accept any directions issued by Sonata pertaining to the goals to be attained and the results to be achieved by me or Sonata, but I and Sonata shall be solely responsible for the manner and hours in which the services for DemandTec are performed. I agree that I shall not be eligible to participate in any of DemandTec’s employee benefit plans, fringe benefit programs, group insurance arrangements or similar programs. DemandTec shall not provide workers’ compensation, disability insurance, social security or unemployment compensation coverage or any other statutory benefit to me. Sonata (and not DemandTec) shall be solely responsible for complying with all applicable provisions of workers’ compensation laws, unemployment compensation laws, labor laws, federal, state and local income tax laws, and all other applicable laws, regulations and codes relating to terms and conditions of employment required to be fulfilled by employers. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment by Sonata, and, as an employee of Sonata, I have obligations to Sonata which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms of my obligations to Sonata and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement by Sonata and DemandTec.

8.   I agree that my obligations under Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part. My obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Sonata and DemandTec, and their subsidiaries, successors and assigns.
9.   Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of China without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable Chinese law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Sonata and, as the case may be, DemandTec for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Sonata and DemandTec will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies and without any requirement to post bond.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, IN DUPLICATE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT DEMANDTEC WILL RETAIN ONE COUNTERPART AND THE OTHER COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY ME.
