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

(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

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

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

not suitable for general use. THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU

WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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.

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.
