6.  INDEMNITY, WARRANTIES, REMEDIES

6.1 SAGENT'S INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY. Sagent will defend and indemnify Customer

fees) finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction or
agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Sagent arising out of any
claim that the Programs directly infringe any U.S. patent issued as of the
Effective Date or any copyright, trade secret or trademark ('IP Claim'),
provided that: (i) Customer promptly notifies Sagent in writing no later than
sixty (60) days after Customer's receipt of notification of a potential claim,
(ii) Sagent may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related
settlement negotiations; and (iii) Customer provides Sagent, at Sagent's request
and expenses, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to
perform Sagent's obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sagent shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the
use of a superseded or altered release of Programs if the infringement would
have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Programs,
which Sagent provided to Customer, (b) the modification of a Program, or (c) the
use of the Programs other than in accordance with the Documentation.

If, due to an IP Claim, (i) the Programs are held by a court of competent 
jurisdiction or are believed by Sagent to infringe, or (ii) Customer receives a 
valid court order enjoining Customer from using the Programs, Sagent shall in 
its reasonable judgment, and at its expense, (a) replace or modify the Programs 
to be non infringing; (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the 
Programs; or (c) if Sagent cannot reasonably obtain the remedies in (a) or (b),

license fees paid for those Programs upon return by Customer. This Section 6.1 
states Sagent's entire liability and Customer's exclusive remedy for any claim 
of infringement.

6.2 LIMITED WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

    B.  LIMITED MEDIA WARRANTY. Sagent warrants for ninety (90) days from the 
Commencement Date that the tapes, diskettes or other media upon which Sagent

    D.  ANTI-VIRUS WARRANTY. Sagent warrants that to the best of its knowledge 
after employing reasonable technical means to detect computer viruses, the 
Programs do not contain any virus or computer software code, routines or

Sagent assumes no responsibilities or obligations to cause third-party products 
or services to function with the Programs. Sagent will not be in breach of this

database engines, operating systems, and related drivers) either to correctly 
create or process date-related data or to create or process such date-related 
data in a manner consistent with the method in which the Programs create or 
process date-related data. In the event of a breach of this warranty, 
Customer's sole and exclusive remedy and Sagent's sole liability shall be to 
use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct or provide a workaround for 
reproducible Program errors that cause breach of this warranty, or if Sagent is 
unable to make the Program operate as warranted within a reasonable time 
considering the severity of the error and its impact on the Customer. Customer 
shall be entitled to return the Program to Sagent and recover the fees paid to 
Sagent for the Program License.

     F.  DISCLAIMERS. Sagent does not warrant that the Programs will meet 
Customer's requirements, the Programs will operate in combinations with other 
hardware, software, systems or data not provided by Sagent (except as expressly 
specified in writing by Sagent in the Documentation) which Customer may select 
for use; the operation of the Programs will be uninterrupted or error free; or 
all Program errors will be corrected. Notwithstanding any provision to the 
contrary, Pre-Production Programs, Deliverables, and Training Materials are 
distributed 'AS IS' and Customer acknowledges that Pre-Production Programs are 
not suitable for general use. THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU 
OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

recover the fees paid to Sagent for the Program License. 

     B. FOR MEDIA. The replacement of the defective media.

     C. FOR SERVICES. The reperformance of the services, or if Sagent is unable

6.4 GENERAL INDEMNITY. Each party (an 'Indemnitor') shall defend and indemnify 
the other party and its employees, officers, directors and agents (the 
'Indemnitee') against all damages for bodily injury, death, or damage to real

Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to, the Programs, 
Documentation, formulas, methods, know how, processes, designs, new products, 
developmental work, marketing requirements, marketing plans, customer names, 
prospective customer names, the terms and pricing under this Agreement, and all 
information clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as 
confidential. Customer's Confidential Information shall include but not be 
limited to, its software programs, formulas, methods, know-how, processes, 
designs, new products, developmental work, marketing requirements, marketing 
plans, customer names, prospective customer names, and all information clearly 
identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential. Confidential 
Information includes all information received from third parties that either 
party is obligated to treat as confidential and oral information that is 
identified by either party as confidential.

A party's Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is or 
becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other 
party; (ii) was in the other party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure 
and had not been obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from 
the disclosing party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third 
party without restriction on disclosure; (iv) is independently developed by the 
other party without use of or reference to the other party's Confidential 
Information, or (v) is required to be disclosed by law or valid order of a 
court or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the responding 
party shall first have given notice to the other party and shall have made a 
reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential 
Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was 
issued.

The parties agree, unless required by law, not to make each other's 
Confidential Information available in any form to any third party (except 
third parties who are Users as defined hereunder) or to use each other's 
Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of this 
Agreement. Customer shall not disclose the results of any performance tests of 
the Programs to any third party without Sagent's prior written approval. Each 
party agrees to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential 
Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in 
breach of this Agreement. The parties agree to hold each other's Confidential 
Information in confidence during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 
three (3) years thereafter. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, due to the 
unique nature of Confidential Information, there can be no adequate remedy at 
law for breach of this Section 9.1 and that such breach would cause irreparable 
harm to the non-breaching party; therefore, the non-breaching party shall be 
entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, in addition to whatever remedies 
it might have at law or under this Agreement.

invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will 
remain in full force.

breach. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of Sagent's proprietary

out of this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year after
the cause of action has accrued.

                                   EXHIBIT B

                         SAGENT MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS

1.        DEFINITIONS.

     A.   'MAINTENANCE' shall mean Sagent's obligations set forth in this 
          Agreement.

     B.   'MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT PERIOD' shall mean a twelve (12)-month
          period. The initial Maintenance and Support Period shall begin on the
          date of Customer's acceptance of the initial Licensed Materials.

     C.   'MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT' shall mean the maintenance and support
          services set forth in this Agreement. If Sagent increases its standard
          maintenance and support services generally available to its customers
          or distributors, Sagent shall make such increased maintenance and
          support services available to Siebel at the rate set forth herein.

     D.   'MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT FEES' shall mean fees payable in accordance
          with Section 3 of this Agreement.

     E.   'SUPPORT' shall mean the services set forth in Section 3 of this
          Agreement.

     F.   'SUPPORTED PROGRAMS' shall mean the Licensed Products.

2.        MAINTENANCE. In consideration of the Maintenance Fees paid in
accordance with this Agreement, Sagent shall provide Customer with any and all
Updates to the Supported Programs, promptly as such Updates become available.
All Updates shall include an updated OLE/OB interface that enables the Siebel
Programs to interface with the most updated version of the Licensed Materials.
All Updates shall be provided for no additional charge. Sagent shall provide all
Updates necessitated by new or successor releases of hardware and operating
systems software, including but not limited to all subsequent versions of (1)
the Windows and Windows NT client operating systems, (2) the Windows NT (Intel)
server platform, (3) the Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft, and IBM DB2 RDBMS
platforms and (4) the Microsoft OLE interface. Sagent shall provide such Updates
within thirty (30) days of the date that the vendor of such hardware and/or
software systems makes such subsequent versions generally available. Any
versions of the Licensed Materials that operate on other operating systems or
server platforms shall be considered Updates under this Agreement, Sagent shall 
make pre-release versions of Updates available to Customer to permit Customer to
upgrade its internal use licenses to the next version. All Updates include
updated Documentation.

3.        SUPPORT.

A.   STANDARD SUPPORT. Sagent shall provide to Customer the Standard Support
     services set forth below ('Standard Support') at a rate of $40.000 per
     year. Standard Support shall consist of support services consistent with
     the following support obligations:

     Sagent shall establish and maintain the organization and processes to
     provide Support for Customer. Support shall include but not be limited to
     (i) a diagnosis of problems or performance deficiencies of the delivered
     products and (ii) a resolution of problems or performance deficiencies of
     the Supported Licensed Products. Sagent shall provide Support on a prompt
     and timely basis via both (1) toll-free phone support, and (2) Internet-
     based support pages that are generally accessible on a 7x24 basis. Sagent
     agrees to inform Customer in writing at least quarterly of all known
     anomalies, including known bugs, that then exist in the Licensed Products.
     Siebel may, in its discretion, notify Sagent of anomalies and bugs that it
     discovers or of which it becomes aware. Sagent will use its best efforts to
     cure, as described below, reported and reproducible errors in the Licensed
     Products so that the Licensed Products operate as specified in the
     Agreement. Customer recognizes four error levels.

          SEVERITY 1 - Critical Business Impact. The production use of the
          Licensed Products are stopped or so severely impacted that the
          Customer cannot reasonably continue work. Sagent will begin work on
          the error within one hour of notification and will engage development
          staff until an acceptable work around is achieved.

          SEVERITY 2 - Significant Business Impact. Important features of the
          Licensed Products are unavailable with no acceptable workaround. The
          implementation of production use of the Licensed Products is
          continuing but not stopped. However, there is a serious impact on the
          Customer's productivity and/or service levels. Sagent will begin work
          on the error within two hours of notification and will engage
          development staff until an acceptable work around is achieved.

          SEVERITY 3 - Some Business Impact. Important features of the Licensed
          Products unavailable but a workaround is available, or less
          significant features of the Licensed Products are unavailable with no
          reasonable workaround. Customer's work, regardless of the environment
          or product usage, has minor loss of operational functionality or
          implementation resources. Sagent will begin work on the error within a
          day of notification and will engage development staff.

          SEVERITY 4 - Minimum Business Impact. Siebel requests information, an
          enhancement, or documentation clarification regarding the Licensed
          Products but there is no impact on the operation of the Licensed
          Products. The implementation or production use of the Licensed
          Products is continuing and there is no work being impeded at the time.
          Sagent will provide an initial response regarding the requested
          information or documentation clarification within one week and will
          consider enhancements for inclusion in a subsequent Update.

                     Software License and Service Agreement               Page 3



          

4.   MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT CONTINUITY. Maintenance and Support shall continue
as renewed by Customer at Customer's option. If Customer fails to pay any amount
due pursuant to the terms set forth above, and fails to cure such failure within
sixty (60) business days from receiving a notice of such failure from Sagent,
Sagent shall have the right to terminate Maintenance and Support to Customer
without any liability to Sagent.
