MARKETING ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
THIS MARKETING ALLIANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made and entered into as
of February 10, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Corio, Inc. ("AP"),
a Delaware corporation, and SAP America, Inc. ("SAP"), a Delaware corporation.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, AP and SAP desire to develop, market, sell and deliver SAP's
application software products and AP's systems management services together as a
combined service offering to prospective customers (more further defined herein
as the "Alliance Offering"); and
WHEREAS, AP and SAP desire to define the respective rights, duties and
obligations of the parties with respect to the development and delivery of the
Alliance Offering that are more fully described herein; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF OFFERING
1.1 GENERAL. The Alliance Offering consists of (i) SAP offering a SAP R/3
and SAP On-Line Store software application (the "SAP Software") and (ii)
AP providing the hardware location at which the SAP Software would be
run and AP's "CORIO HOSTED SOLUTION FOR SAP R/3 AND SAP ONLINE STORE"
(collectively "AP Services"). As a result, AP and SAP will be offering
to certain companies a SAP Software environment (the "SAP Environment")
as a "hosted application" service. SAP will license the SAP Software
pursuant to a mutually agreeable SAP End User Agreement. The AP Services
will be made available pursuant to a mutually agreeable AP End User
Agreement which may include the delivery and support of other third
party products. This Agreement is in effect only for the delivery of the
Alliance Offering, to the extent presently defined in this Agreement, to
only those companies which are located in [*] and their parent company's
global headquarters, if any, located within [*]. The roles and
activities of each party are more fully described herein. In the event
AP requests that the Alliance Offering be extended into [*], SAP shall
use reasonable efforts to assist AP and the respective SAP sister
company to execute an agreement which is substantially the same as this
Agreement. AP acknowledges that SAP America does not have distribution
rights in these countries and does not have the authority to execute
agreements in the name of such sister companies and, further, that the
decision to extend the Alliance Offering into these countries is solely
that of the respective SAP sister company.
ARTICLE II. TERM AND TERMINATION
2.1 TERM. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and will
continue for a period of [*] from the Effective Date unless otherwise
terminated in accordance with this Section. This Agreement may be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties for successive one year
periods.
[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with
the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to
the omitted portions.

2.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. If either party materially defaults in the
performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement,
which default is not cured within 60 days after written notice is given
to the defaulting party specifying such default or, with respect to
those defaults that cannot reasonably be cured within 60 days, should
the defaulting party fail to proceed within 60 days to commence curing
the default and thereafter to proceed with reasonable diligence to cure
the default, the party not in default may, by giving written notice
thereof to the defaulting party, terminate this Agreement as of the date
of receipt by the defaulting party of such notice or as of a future date
specified in such notice of termination. Notwithstanding the above,
material breaches as related to the disclosure of a party's proprietary
information shall give rise to a right to terminate for cause if such
default is not cured within 30 days after written notice is given to the
defaulting party specifying such default.
2.3 TERMINATION FOR BANKRUPTCY AND RELATED EVENTS. Subject to Title 11,
United States Code, if either party becomes or is declared insolvent or
bankrupt, is the subject of any proceedings relating to its liquidation,
insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for
it, makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of
its creditors or enters into an agreement for the composition, extension
or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, then the
other party may, by giving written notice thereof to such party,
terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice of
termination.
2.4 INTENTIONALLY BLANK.
2.5 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS FOR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Upon expiration
of this Agreement, the parties agree to the following:
(A) OUTSTANDING END USER AGREEMENTS. When one or more End User
Agreements are outstanding there shall be a three year wind-down
period whereby the terms of this Agreement, other than as
specified in sections (b) and (c) below, will remain in full
force and effect solely for purposes of allowing the Customers
which are subject to current End User Agreements to receive the
Integrated Customer Services set forth in Section 4.10. This
Agreement shall terminate 3 years from the date of notice of
termination pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties or
expiration. In the event AP desires to continue to provide
hosted application services to any current End Users of AP and

agreement in the form of Exhibit 1 listing those Customers.
(B) OUTSTANDING SALES LEADS. The parties agree to cease any joint
marketing and selling of the Alliance Offering either directly
or through any indirect sales channel(s) immediately. AP will
not be permitted to offer the services described in Section 4.10
to any prospect or non-Customers. The parties may continue to
market and sell their respective products and services
separately.
(C) NEW BUSINESS. Any End User Agreements executed prior to such
termination notification date or expiration date will be
considered an outstanding End User
Page 2

Agreement under Section 2.5(a) herein. For those companies which
are subject to an SAP End User Agreement only and become
customers of AP and who desire the AP Services after such
termination or expiration, AP and such customer must execute a
standard Outsource Nondisclosure Agreement (attached hereto as
Exhibit 2) in order to continue to provide AP Services to such
customers, and AP will not be permitted to provide the services
described in Section 4.10.
2.6 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS FOR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR CAUSE.

pursuant to Section 2.2, this Agreement shall terminate
immediately after the cure period and the parties agree to the
following:
(I) OUTSTANDING END USER AGREEMENTS. The services described
in Section 4.10 will be discontinued under all AP End
User Agreements as of the effective date of termination
of this Agreement. In the event AP desires to continue
to provide hosted application services to any Customers
under contract pursuant to this Agreement once the terms
and conditions of this Agreement are no longer in
effect, AP and SAP shall execute the non-disclosure
agreement in the form of Exhibit 1 listing those
Customers which will continue to receive such services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
termination of this Agreement was the result of an AP
breach then, SAP shall be entitled to require additional
terms and conditions be added to the non-disclosure
agreement to provide additional, reasonable safeguards
to SAP considering the nature and severity of the
breach.
(II) OUTSTANDING SALES LEADS. The parties agree to cease the
joint marketing and selling of the Alliance Offering
through the indirect sales channels(s) and its own
internal sales channel. AP will not be permitted to
offer the services described in Section 4.10 to
prospects or non-Customers. The parties remain free to
continue to market and sell their respective products
and services separately.
(B) In the event that SAP terminates this Agreement pursuant to

the Proprietary Information in every form. AP further
agrees to erase the SAP Software and documentation from
any storage media. AP shall certify in writing to SAP
that it has performed the foregoing. AP shall be solely
liable to its Customers and shall hold SAP harmless as a
result of having to comply with this Section 2.6(b)(i).

(II) Prior to termination of this Agreement for AP's material
violation relating to SAP Proprietary Information, SAP
will provide AP with an additional thirty days to cure
such violation and avoid termination hereunder so long
as AP acknowledges that SAP does not waive any rights to
damages which have accrued or may continue to accrue by
permitting continued Use during the attempted cure
period and SAP shall remain entitled to all damages
available pursuant to this Agreement for any breach of
the Agreement.
2.7 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS FOR TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF END-USER
AGREEMENTS. Upon expiration or termination for any reason of any
Customer's SAP End User Agreement, AP shall immediately cease Use of the

4.4 MODIFICATIONS TO END USER AGREEMENTS. The SAP and AP End User Agreements
attached hereto as Attachments A and B respectively have been jointly
agreed upon as of the Effective Date. Unless otherwise agreed, any party
making a change to its End User Agreement (other than changes that
correct errors in grammar, typos, and format or changes made for a
specific customer which do not impact the offering of the other party or
otherwise materially change the Alliance Offering) must give the other
party notice of such change and any objection to such change must be
provided to the other party in writing within 10 business days from the
receipt of such notification. Objections will be addressed by the
Alliance General Managers and the Executive Steering Committee as
appropriate. In the event of any change to a party's standard End User
Agreement, such party will promptly provide an updated version of its
End User Agreement to the other party. Neither party may bind or impose
any liabilities, obligations, responsibilities or conditions on the
other party in any way under their respective End User Agreement.
4.5 PERFORMANCE. SAP and AP will each execute their own respective End User
Agreements with each Customer and will be responsible for their own
performance under each End User Agreement.
4.6 CERTIFIED BUSINESS SOLUTION PARTNER AGREEMENTS. In the event the
Alliance Offering is extended to prospects with annual revenues less
than $200 million, the parties agree that the Alliance Offering will be
marketed via the SAP Certified Business Solution Partners ("CBS
Partners"). The SAP Certified Business Solution Partners who elect to
participate as the primary sales channel of the Alliance Offering, as
described in Section 4.9(a), will execute an agreement between
themselves and SAP and a separate agreement between themselves and AP
which will govern any such sale of the Alliance Offering (the "Certified
Business Solution Partner Agreement"). The parties agree that their
respective Certified Business Solution Partner Agreements will contain
at a minimum the compensation models and sales targets related to that
Certified Business Solution Partner for the Alliance Offering and will
provide such compensation models and sales targets to the other party.
Each party will be solely responsible for all payments due to the
Certified Business Solution Partners under their respective Certified
Business Solution Partner Agreements.
4.7 SALES PLAN. AP and SAP agree to jointly develop a sales plan that will
more definitively define the roles and responsibilities pertaining to
any sale of the Alliance Offering (the "Sales Plan"). Such Sales Plan
shall allocate the responsibility between the parties to provide lead
qualification and tracking and shall specify the conditions, manner and
amount of compensation to be paid by each party in the event that a
Customer is signed up which was, at that time, an active sales prospect
of SAP, AP or SAP Certified Business Solutions Partner as defined in the
Sales Plan. Any changes made to the Sales Plan must be approved in
writing by the Alliance General Managers. The Sales Plan will be
reviewed at the Executive Steering Committee meetings and updated
periodically, such period to be specified in the Sales Plan.
4.8 SALES TARGETS. In accordance with the Sales Plan, the parties agree to
establish joint sales volume targets, the channel sales model, and rules
of engagement as mutually agreed upon in writing. The parties agree to
assign professional staff (such as sales representatives, sales support
representatives, or pre-sales technical representatives) who
Page 6
7
will have individual performance objectives and personal compensation
metrics (commission or bonus plans) connected to the achievement of the
sales targets.
4.9 ALLIANCE OFFERING SALES CHANNELS. AP and SAP mutually agree to make the
Alliance Offering generally available through the following:
(A) PRIMARY SALES CHANNEL. The primary sales channel for the
Alliance Offering will be each parties' direct sales force. Each
party may utilize third party sales agents and/or marketing
representatives to fulfill some of their sales responsibilities
after receiving the prior written consent of the other party.
Such consent shall be not be unreasonably withheld and shall
consider factors such as the sales agent's or marketing
representative's ability to properly represent and demonstrate
the offering from a technical, business and support perspective.
A party may withhold consent if, in that party's sole
determination, it believes that the use of such sales agent or
marketing representative may result in a business conflict or is
otherwise not in the best interest if the offering. All sales
agents and marketing representatives must execute a
confidentiality agreement acceptable to the parties. Use of the
CBS Partners as sales agents and/or marketing representative
shall not require the consent of the other party. AP and SAP
will jointly establish requirements and a certification process
for SAP Certified Business Solutions Partners who participate in
the sale of the Alliance Offering. The parties agree that any
such Certified Business Solutions Partner must execute a
Certified Business Solutions Partner Agreement in order to be
authorized to sell the Alliance Offering. Any such agreement
entered into by the Certified Business Solutions Partner must
include, among other items, a provision requiring the Certified
Business Solutions Partner to comply with its sales targets. In
the event that an SAP Certified Business Solutions Partner
elects not to execute the SAP Certified Business Solutions
Partner Agreement with SAP or fails to meet its Alliance
Offering sales targets, SAP agrees to take reasonable steps to
implement a plan to meet the sales targets in that specific
Certified Business Solutions Partner's territory.
4.10 INTEGRATED CUSTOMER SUPPORT PLAN. The parties agree to share customer
support knowledge, processes and tools in an effort to design, execute,
and jointly manage a process whereby Alliance Offering Customer support
requests may be shared or transferred from one party to the other in
accordance with the following:
(A) INTEGRATED CUSTOMER SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT PLAN. The parties agree
that the Integrated Customer Support Environment ("Customer
Support Plan") plan is to be jointly developed to meet the
mutual service level requirements of the parties utilizing the
support infrastructures of the Alliance Offering Customer, AP,
SAP, and the Certified Business Solutions Partner.
(B) CHANGE PROCESS. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
procedures, processes, and technology used to implement the
Integrated Customer Support Environment plan may change over
time. Any changes to the Integrated Customer Support Environment
plan shall be mutually agreed to by the Customer Support Leads.
The Integrated Customer Support Environment plan may be reviewed
at the Executive Steering Committee meetings as required.
Page 7

(C) CUSTOMER SUPPORT LEAD. Each party will designate a Customer
Support Lead who will be the point of contact for Integrated
Customer Support Environment related matters. The Integrated
Customer Support Environment plan will identify each party's
Customer Support Lead.
4.11 POST TERMINATION ACCESS. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement and the section 2.5(a) wind-down period, if any, or upon
termination of this Agreement by AP due to SAP's material breach under
section 2.6, AP access to the Software for the purpose of performing
customer support shall arise pursuant to the SAP End User Agreement with
a Customer and the executed Outsource Non-Disclosure Agreement to be
executed by SAP and AP.

7.1 ASSIGNMENT: SUBCONTRACTING.
(A) ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign or in any manner transfer
any obligation assumed or contemplated by this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement,
the granting of which shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, that a change of control or acquisition of a party
shall be considered an assignment for the purposes of this
Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consent to the
assignment to a competitor can be withheld for any reason.
(B) SUBCONTRACTING. Notwithstanding the forgoing and subject to
Section 4.9(a), each party shall be reasonably permitted to
subcontract its services in the performance of its obligations
hereunder so long as all or substantially all of a core
obligation is not subcontracted.
7.2. MEDIATION: ARBITRATION. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising under,
out of, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement, or the
breach, termination, validity or enforceability of any provision hereof
(a "Dispute"), if not resolved informally through negotiation between
the parties, will be submitted to non-binding mediation. The parties
will mutually determine who the mediator will be from a list of
mediators obtained from the American Arbitration Association office
located in the city determined as set forth below in this Section 7.2
(the "AAA"). If the parties are unable to agree on the mediator, the
mediator will be selected by the AAA. If any Dispute is not resolved

conducted in accordance with

and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then
applicable. One arbitrator will be selected in accordance with such
rules, and the arbitrators will allow such discovery as is appropriate,
consistent with the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing fair,
speedy and cost effective resolution of disputes. The arbitrator will
reference the rules of evidence of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
then in effect in setting the scope of discovery. Judgment upon the
award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court
for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement, as the law of
such jurisdiction may require or allow. Any negotiation, mediation or
arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 7.2 will take place in
Palo Alto, California, if initiated by SAP, and in Philadelphia, Pa, if
initiated by AP. Other than those matters involving injunctive relief,
claims relating to the ownership or title to intellectual property
rights in the Proprietary Information or any action necessary to enforce
the award of the arbitrator, the parties agree that the provisions of
this Section 7.2 are a complete defense to any suit, action or other
proceeding instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal
with respect to any Dispute or the performance of the AP Services by AP.
Nothing in this Section 7.2 prevents the parties from exercising their
right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article II.

to the development, marketing, sales and delivery efforts of the
Alliance Offering. In no way does this Agreement (i) constitute an
understanding in regard to other programs or business activities of
either party, (ii) constitute an understanding as to any other
procurements by one party from the other, nor (iii) prevent either party
from engaging in similar activities with other companies.
7.4 RELATIONSHIP. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute,
create, give effect to, or otherwise recognize a joint venture,
partnership, pooling arrangement, formal business entity or any type of
permanent arrangement, and the employees of one party shall not be
deemed employees of the other. SAP and AP shall be acting in their
respective capacities as independent contractors and under no
circumstances will either party be deemed to be in any relationship with
the other carrying with it fiduciary or trust responsibilities, whether
through partnership or otherwise, and neither party undertakes by this
Agreement or otherwise to perform any obligation of the other party,
whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for
the other party's business or operations. Each party has the sole right

disturbance, court order, labor dispute, or other cause beyond its
