Statement of Work to act as a primary point of contact between the parties with
respect to each Project ("Project Managers"). Such Project Managers will have

staffing decisions and acceptance of Deliverables) that are binding on their
respective entities. Amendments to this Agreement or to a Statement of Work
however, must be made in accordance with Section 5.4, as applicable, and 22.7.

circumstances known to Xansa or that reasonably should be known to Xansa that
will cause a cost increase (for T&M Projects) or impact its ability to meet any
Milestone including, without limitation, if Xansa has or may be likely to fail
to timely achieve a Deliverable. COMPANY shall have the right to assume that no
such issues exist that are known to Xansa unless Xansa specifically identifies
such issues in its weekly written Status Reports.

description of all

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

activities to be performed by Xansa, including any software engineering,

its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Milestone has
been delayed: (i) due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; (ii) by
COMPANY solely for its own convenience; or (iii) as a result of Xansa's failure,
for any reason other than a COMPANY or third party -caused delay, to perform or
provide, as applicable, any Deliverables, provided that such failure previously
was identified by Xansa in a Project Status Report as described in Section 4.1,
then the Milestone date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis to account for
the period of delay. COMPANY will control all updates to any Statement of Work.
Each Statement of Work shall be incorporated into and become part of this
Agreement and be governed by the provisions of this Agreement. Xansa will not
incur any fees or expenses unless attributable to a Statement of Work.

5.2Unavailability of COMPANY Personnel. If COMPANY determines that a Milestone
is likely to be missed, or if a Milestone has been missed, in each case due to a
lack of available COMPANY personnel to perform COMPANY's responsibilities in
connection with Milestone, then, upon COMPANY's written request, Xansa shall
provide to COMPANY the additional resources required to meet the Milestone, or
if one or more Milestones already has been missed as a result of such lack of
COMPANY personnel, complete the Milestones within a re-adjusted time frame
mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. For T&M Projects, COMPANY shall
reimburse Xansa for such additional resources at the Service Rate(s). For Fixed
Price projects, the cost of any additional resources will be borne by Xansa.

5.3Delays. A Milestone will be achieved successfully only when COMPANY verifies
in writing that the activities, events and/or Deliverables that comprise such
Milestone have occurred and/or have been completed in accordance with this
Agreement, any applicable Performance Criteria and/or the applicable Statement
of Work. Subject to the further terms of this Section 5.3, if COMPANY reasonably
determines that Xansa is likely to fail to meet a Milestone, at COMPANY's
option, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to
COMPANY (including the rights and remedies available to COMPANY under
Section 16), Xansa shall provide to COMPANY as many additional Xansa Consultants
as may be required or necessary to timely achieve the Milestone. Xansa will
provide these additional Consultants at no charge to COMPANY under Fixed Price
projects, and will be reimbursed for such additional Consultants under T&M
projects. If Xansa already has failed to meet one or more Milestones, then in
addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to COMPANY
(including the rights and remedies available to COMPANY under Section 16) Xansa
shall complete Milestone(s) within a re-adjusted time frame established by
COMPANY, provided that: any adjustment of a Milestone date shall not operate to
adjust any future Milestone date (unless specifically agreed to in writing by
COMPANY). Services of any additional consultants provided by Xansa between the
original Milestone date and the re-adjusted Milestone date will be at no charge
to COMPANY. COMPANY's acceptance of additional Consultants as provided herein
shall not be construed or implied to constitute a waiver of any of COMPANY's
rights as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any
Project, Xansa shall not be obligated to provide additional Consultants at no
additional cost to COMPANY if Xansa's failure to achieve any Milestone is
(a) due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, (b) by COMPANY solely for
its own convenience; or (c) as a result of COMPANY'S or any third parties
failure, for any reason other

19.1It is understood and agreed that Xansa will provide Services under this

Services under this Agreement, Xansa's employees and Consultants will not be
considered employees of COMPANY for any purpose whatsoever. Accordingly, Xansa
shall be solely responsible for the compensation of such employees and
Consultants, including employment-related taxes. Further, nothing herein shall
be construed to entitle either party to be a representative, agent, partner or
joint venture of the other. Neither party is granted any express or implied
right or authority by the other party to assume or create any obligation or
responsibility on behalf of or in the name of the other party, or to bind the
other party in any manner whatsoever.

20.FORCE MAJEURE

20.1If either party is unable to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement because of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party,
such as an act of God, fire, casualty, flood, terrorism, cross-border war (not
including a war within the countries borders), failure of public utilities,
injunction or any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of any governmental
authority, federal announced epidemic, (a "Force Majeure Event"), the party who

shall be excused in any event from its payment obligation. Upon receipt of
notice of a Force Majeure Event, other than the obligation on COMPANY to pay
Xansa, all obligations under this Agreement shall be immediately suspended for
the period of such Force Majeure Event. If the period of nonperformance exceeds
sixty (60) days from the receipt of notice of the Force Majeure Event, the party
whose ability to perform has not been so affected may give written notice to

21.DISPUTE RESOLUTION

21.1All disputes arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall be
attempted to be settled through good-faith negotiation between senior management
of both parties or as set forth in a Statement of Work, followed, if necessary,
within thirty (30) days by professionally-assisted

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

non-binding mediation. Any mediator so designated must be acceptable to all
parties. The mediation will be conducted as specified by the mediator and agreed
upon by the parties. The parties agree to discuss their differences in good
faith and to attempt, with the assistance of the mediator, to reach an amicable
resolution of the dispute. The mediation will be treated as a settlement
discussion and therefore will be confidential. The mediator may not testify for
either party in any later proceeding relating to the dispute. No recording or
transcript shall be made of the mediation proceedings. Each party will bear its
own costs in the mediation. The fees and expenses of the mediator will be shared
equally by the parties.

21.2Failing resolution through negotiation or mediation, any such dispute shall
be submitted to nonbinding arbitration administered by JAMS/Endispute in
accordance with the Arbitration Rules for Professional Accounting and Related
Services Disputes of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") before a
single arbitrator. The place of arbitration will be Minneapolis, Minnesota
(USA). The language of the arbitration shall be English. Limited discovery will
be permitted in connection with the arbitration upon agreement of the parties or
upon a showing of substantial need by the party seeking discovery. The
arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain and natural meaning of the relevant
documents, and shall be nonbinding. The arbitrator will have no power to award
(i) damages inconsistent with the Agreement or (ii) punitive damages or any
other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, and the
parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in
any other forum. All aspects of the arbitration will be confidential. Neither
the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of
the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory
requirements. Each party will promptly pay its share of all arbitration fees
(excluding attorneys' fees) and costs, provided that such fees and costs shall
be recoverable by the prevailing party as determined by the arbitrator. If a
party fails to pay such share promptly upon demand, the arbitrator shall, upon
written request by the other party, enter a final decision against the
non-paying party for the full amount of such share, together with an award of
attorney's fees and costs incurred by the other party in obtaining such
decision, which decision may be entered in the jurisdiction defined herein.
Except for this instance of a failure of a party to pay arbitration fees and
costs, the parties will bear their own attorneys' fees in any matter or dispute
under this Agreement.

21.3Notwithstanding the determination by the parties to utilize arbitration as
specified above for resolution of disputes arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, nothing herein shall preclude either party from seeking and
obtaining from a court in the jurisdiction defined herein for appropriate
equitable relief, including without limitation, a temporary restraining order or
other injunctive relief, to prevent a breach of this Agreement relating to
Sections 9.0 (Intellectual Property), 13.0 (Confidentiality), or 15.0 (Non-Hire
and Non-Solicitation), or to otherwise maintain the status quo pending outcome
of any arbitration.
