If annual Support services are purchased directly by Customer, then such Support services shall be provided by Chordiant to Customer under the terms of this Agreement or, if more favorable to Customer, Chordiant’s support policies in effect on the date Support is ordered by Customer.For as long as Customer or a CIGNA Agent notifies Chordiant that it wishes to purchase Support, Chordiant shall offer to provide such Support. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chordiant shall provide Support under its agreement with IBM for Customer for as long as the services agreement between Chordiant and IBM is in place (or such longer period as support has been paid for by IBM), and IBM has paid the then current Support Fee. If, during the term of Customer’s services agreement with IBM, IBM has not paid any undisputed Support Fees within 60 days after the commencement of the then current renewal Support Period, then Chordiant shall notify Customer in writing of such failure. If Chordiant does not receive payment of the then current undisputed Support Fee within 30 days following receipt of notice to Customer, from either Customer or IBM, then Chordiant, in its sole discretion, may either terminate the provision of Support hereunder or agree with Customer to continue to provide Support. Support is intended to ensure that the Software operates in accordance with its Documentation on an ongoing basis.

3.2 Update Policy. Additionally, as part of Support, Chordiant shall provide Customer with Updates, if and when such Updates made available by Chordiant.

3.3Reinstatement. Once Support has been terminated in writing by Customer for a particular Supported Program, it can be reinstated only if Customer pays a fee equal to the Support Fees that would have been payable for the period of time during which Support was terminated for such Supported Program. All Support provided to IBM under the services agreement shall count as if Customer had obtained the Support itself (and no break in support shall have occurred).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer or CIGNA Agent and Chordiant agree or have agreed upon a different method for making payment, they may utilize such method when making payment to Chordiant. Customer may, at any time upon prior written notice to Chordiant, make payment of any and all amounts due and payable hereunder directly to Chordiant.

8.3Taxes. The fees in this Agreement or the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work do not include services or sales taxes on the fees charges to Customer hereunder. Chordiant is required to pay all other taxes, including property, excise, import or export, import, government fees or other taxes based on the licenses granted or services provided under this Agreement. This Section does not apply to taxes based on Chordiant revenue or income.

8.4Disputes Invoices. Customer may withhold payments for any item(s) on Customer's invoice that Customer reasonably disputes in good faith.  Customer shall provide to Chordiant written notice of its intention to withhold payment, including the reason(s) for Customer's reasonable dispute of the invoice (the “Dispute Notice”).  Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Chordiant shall review the invoice in question and, if appropriate, send Customer a corrected invoice.  If Chordiant does not agree with Customer's reasons for withholding payment or, if sent, the corrected invoice does not resolve the dispute to Customer's satisfaction, then either party shall notify in writing the other party of the fact that the dispute continues (the “Response Notice”).

The parties shall use commercially reasonably efforts to resolve or settle the dispute within thirty days from the date of the Response Notice. During such thirty day period, executives of both companies shall first meet in person to negotiate in good faith a resolution or settlement of the dispute. Pending settlement or resolution of the issue(s), Customer's non-payment of these items shall not constitute default by Customer, and shall not entitle Chordiant to suspend or delay its furnishing of the Support or performance of services for a period of six (6) months from the date of the Response Notice; provided that Customer pays all undisputed invoices in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1.   After expiration of such

six month period, Customer shall pay Chordiant 50% of the amount of the disputed invoice. If not, Chordiant may suspend its furnishing of Support or performance of services covered by the disputed item(s). If so, Chordiant will not suspend its furnishing of Support or the performance of services covered by the disputed item(s) for another six month period. After the expiration of the second six month period, Customer shall pay Chordiant the remaining 50% of the amount of the disputed invoice. If not, Chordiant may suspend its furnishing of Support or performance of services covered by the disputed item(s). If, once the dispute is resolved, it is determined that Customer did not owe Chordiant all or any portion of the amounts it paid under this paragraph, Chordiant shall reimburse Customer for such payments.

9.Confidentiality.

By virtue of this Agreement, the parties may have access to information that is confidential to one another (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall include but not be limited to the Software (including Source Code), Chordiant services, the terms and pricing under this Agreement, and all information clearly identified as confidential or which is self-evidently of a confidential nature.

A party’s Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (b) 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; (c) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the other party.

The parties agree to hold each other’s Confidential Information in confidence during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five years after termination of this Agreement (except for Chordiant’s Software which shall remain confidential in perpetuity). The parties agree, unless required by law, not to make each other’s Confidential Information available in any form to any third party for any purpose other than the implementation of this Agreement. Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

Each party agrees that its obligations and covenants are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the party disclosing Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that its breach of its obligations would cause irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would be inadequate and hereby agrees that the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief under this Agreement in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.

Immediately upon termination of this Agreement, Chordiant shall return all of Customer’s Confidential Information.

10.Miscellaneous.

10.1Export Administration. Each party agrees to comply with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States, the United Kingdom and any other applicable country (“Export Laws”) to assure that neither the Software nor any direct product thereof are (i) exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of

Export Laws; or (ii) are used for any purposes prohibited by the Export Laws, including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation.

10.2Conflict of Interest. Chordiant agrees that during the term of this Agreement, it shall not provide services or contract to provide services to any third party that would prevent it from providing Software or performing Services under this Agreement for Customer, except with the prior written consent of Customer.

10.3 Insurance. Chordiant shall carry and maintain at its own cost, with companies that are rated a minimum of “A-“ in Best’s Insurance Guide or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Customer, all necessary insurance (which shall include as a minimum the requirements set forth below) during the term of this Agreement, for damages caused or contributed to by Chordiant, and insuring Customer against claims which may arise out of or result from Chordiant’s performance or failure to perform hereunder, including: (i) statutory worker’s compensation in accordance with applicable laws, (ii) employer’s liability insurance in an amount of not less than $500,000 per occurrence, (iii) commercial general liability, including bodily injury, property damage, owners and contractors protective liability, products and completed operations liability and contractual liability, with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000, (iv) automotive liability covering all vehicles owned, non-owned, hired and leased with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000, (v) professional liability and errors and omissions insurance in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 per claim. Chordiant, if requested by Customer, shall provide Customer with certificates of insurance and copies of the policies of insurance reflecting the coverage and amounts set forth in this Section. Chordiant’s certificates of insurance shall contain a provision that the coverage afforded under the policy(s) shall not be cancelled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer.

10.4 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been given when mailed by first class. Notices shall be sent to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement or such other address as either party may specify in writing. If notice is sent to Chordiant, it shall be sent to the attention of Chordiant’s Chief Financial Officer and Chordiant’s General Counsel.

10.5Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of acts of God, war, unforeseeable governmental action, earthquakes, or other similar cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such party.

10.6Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon all successors and assigns of the parties. Chordiant shall not assign or subcontract all or any part of its rights or obligations hereunder except in the case of operation of law, merger, consolidate or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without the written consent of Customer. Customer may assign or delegate its rights under this Agreement.

10.7Waiver and Severability. The failure of a party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the right to require performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions

of this Agreement shall remain in full force and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be changed and interpreted to best accomplish the provision within the limits of the law.

10.8Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law principles, as if this Agreement were executed in and fully performed within the State of New York. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.

10.9No Agency. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

10.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.11Customer Reference. Chordiant may not refer to Customer as a customer in sales presentations, marketing vehicles and activities, without Customer’s prior written consent.

10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Order Form(s), together with any exhibits, completely and exclusively state the agreement of the parties. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any purchase order or Order Form, the individualized terms of such purchase order or Order Form shall control, but any pre-printed terms on Customer’s purchase order shall be of no effect. This Agreement supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified except by a subsequently dated written amendment signed by the parties, and any “pre-printed” terms on a Customer purchase order or other document purporting to supplement the provisions hereof shall be void.

In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.
