ProVantage's expense, in the investigation and prosecution of any such

at its sole discretion, the correction or deletion of any misleading, false or
objectionable material from any such advertising, promotion or publicity.

12.5   No Proprietary Rights. End-User has paid no consideration for the use of
ProVantage's trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designations, and

End-User acknowledges that ProVantage owns and retains all trade names,
trademarks, service marks, logos, designations, copyrights, patent and moral
rights in or associated with the Product, and agrees that it will not at any
time during or after this Agreement assert or claim any interest in or do
anything that may adversely affect the validity of any trade name, trademark,
logo, designation, copyright, patent or moral right belonging to or licensed to
ProVantage (including, without limitation, any act or assistance to any act,
which may infringe or lead to the infringement of any of ProVantage's
proprietary rights). End-User will not have or acquire by virtue of this
Agreement or otherwise any vested, proprietary or other right in the promotion
of ProVantage Products or in "goodwill" relating to the use of ProVantage's
trademarks created by its efforts hereunder. All such "goodwill" shall accrue to
ProVantage.

confusing with any trade name, trademark, service mark, logo, designation,
patent and moral rights associated with ProVantage.

12.7   Obligation to Protect. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to protect the other party's proprietary rights and to cooperate with
the other party in that party's efforts to protect its proprietary rights. Each
party agrees to notify the other party promptly of any known or suspected breach
or infringement of the other party's proprietary rights that comes to a party's
attention.

information, warrants that it will not use it any illegal purpose or for any
purpose other than to fulfill ProVantage's obligations set forth herein, or
disclose it to any other party, unless required to do so by law. ProVantage

commenced by, for or against the other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
debtor's relief law; (iv) the other party is liquidated or dissolved; or (v) the
other party is in default with respect to any material term or condition of this
Agreement or any other agreement between the parties and such failure or default
continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice
of such failure or default.

13.3   Orders After Termination Notice. If any notice of termination of this
Agreement is given, ProVantage shall be entitled to reject all or part of any
orders received from End-User after notice but prior to the effective date of

13.4   Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination of this Agreement,
End-User and ProVantage shall return to the other party, or destroy and certify
in writing to the other party the destruction of, all of the other party's
Confidential Information.

13.5   No Damages for Termination or Expiration. EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. End-User acknowledges
that End-User has no expectation and has received no assurances that any
investment by End-User in the promotion of ProVantage Product will be recovered
or recouped or that End-User will obtain any anticipated amount of profits by
virtue of this Agreement. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SECTION HAS BEEN

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

14. GENERAL.

14.1   Source Code Escrow. In the event that ProVantage is merged, consolidated,
sells all or substantially all of its assets or implements or suffers any
substantial change in management or control, ProVantage shall deposit with an
independent escrow agent (reasonably acceptable to End-User) with experience and
knowledge of handling source code escrows, the then current version of the
source program/code of the Product and any updates and new releases from time to
time. In addition, at that time, ProVantage and End-User shall enter into a
source code escrow agreement that requires the escrow agent to release the
source program/code of the Product and a single copy of the documentation
associated therewith, to End-User for its own and sole use in the event that,
whether directly or through a successor or affiliate ProVantage ceases to be in
the Health Information Technology or software business, if ProVantage should
breach any maintenance, support or professional service obligations of the
Product, or if ProVantage should be declared bankrupt and insolvent by a court
of competent jurisdiction.

14.2   Independent Contractors. Both parties to this Agreement are independent
contractors, and shall so represent themselves to all other parties. There is no
partnership, agency, employment, franchise or joint venture relationship between
the parties. Neither party has any express or implied right or authority to bind
the other or incur any obligation on behalf of the other. In particular, nothing
herein shall be interpreted as making End-User the commercial agent of
ProVantage.

14.3   Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without
the prior, written consent of the other party; provided, however, that neither
party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to the assignment of this
Agreement to any successor-in-interest of the other party.

14.4   Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for failure of
performance due to causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to,
acts of God or nature, labor disputes, actions of any government agency and
shortage of materials. This provision shall not apply to any obligation to pay
money under this Agreement.

14.5   Notices. Any and all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given two (2) business days
after deposit in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage
prepaid, or one (1) business day after deposit with an overnight delivery
service of national reputation, and in any case addressed as follows:

14.6   Waiver. The waiver by either party of any default by the other shall not
waive subsequent defaults of the same or different kind.

14.7   Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
are held invalid by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such
provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining
portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

14.8   Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement

signed by an officer of ProVantage and a duly-authorized representative of
End-User. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and any other
agreement, including a statement of work, the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement shall control.

14.9   Construction. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement and
any ProVantage Product License Sales Order Form shall supersede the terms in any
End User purchase order or other ordering document. This Agreement shall also

package, media or electronic version of ProVantage-furnished software and any
such software shall be licensed under the terms of this Agreement. When executed
and dated by both parties, any ProVantage Sales Order Forms that reference this
Agreement and its Effective Date shall be incorporated herein.

in a state or federal court in the State of Wisconsin and End-User hereby
submits to the personal jurisdiction thereof.

14.12  Due Execution. The party executing this Agreement on behalf of End-User
represents and warrants that he or she has been duly-authorized under End-User's
charter documents and applicable law to do so.

14.13  Insurance. Both parties agree to obtain and maintain during the term of
this Agreement and the term of any maintenance and support agreement, general
liability insurance coverage against claims for personal injury and advertising
injury claims which may arise during the term of this Agreement in an amount not
less than $1,000,000 per person or per organization and bodily injury and
