5. FEES AND REPORTING
5.1 Fees. Delphi shall pay to HP within thirty (30) days of the end
of each calendar quarter during the term, ** (the "Fees") for
such preceding calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the terms of
this Agreement or any Related Agreement, Fees, and other amounts
due under this Agreement or any Related Agreement may not be
offset against any amounts due to or from the other Party under
this Agreement or any Related Agreement. HP is not obligated to
make any payment to Delphi due to Net Revenues for any calendar
quarter being less than zero. The payments are exclusive of
sales, use, service, value added or like taxes, or customs
duties. A non-binding projection of Fees is attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
5.2 Reporting: Interest.
(a) Delphi's Reporting. Within thirty (30) days following the end
of calendar quarter during the term, Delphi will provide to HP
a report for HP to determine the Fees and other amounts agreed
to after the Effective Date to which it is entitled under
Section 5.1 or otherwise under this Agreement. Such report
will include: Delphi's gross revenues relating to the Ebix.com
from Other Fees; related discounts; related refunds; related
collection reserves debits and credits; other permitted debits
and credits. Delphi hereby agrees that each year, upon HP's
request, it will require that its independent auditors verify
the accuracy of such reports as part of their annual audit of
Delphi's books and records and certify the results thereof to
HP. Certification by Delphi's auditors should be done upon
HP's written request at a minimum of ** prior to
Delphi's year end (December 31) so that Delphi can ask its
auditors to include this activity in their audit. Any
additional fees and expenses charged by such independent
auditors for the work relating to verifying the accuracy of
such reports and providing such certification shall be borne
by HP; provided that Delphi will allow HP to negotiate
directly with such auditor the amount of such fees.
(b) Overdue Interest. Any payments due hereunder which are not
paid when due shall accrue interest from the date due until
paid at the per annum rate of ** or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. Interest
will not accrue unless HP provides written notice and such
payment is more than ** late.

5.3 Audit Rights.
(a) Audit by HP. Delphi agrees to maintain for at least ** from
the date each payment under this Agreement is due, complete
books, records, invoices and accounts with respect to the
amounts due to HP hereunder. Upon ** prior written notice
to Delphi, HP may, at its own expense, appoint a nationally
recognized independent auditor to audit Delphi's records
relevant to this agreement at Delphi's offices during
normal business hours, solely for the purpose of confirming
the accuracy of the Fees and other amounts payable to HP
hereunder. HP will make all reasonable attempts while
conducting any audit to ensure that such does not
unreasonably interfere with Delphi's business activities.
Any such auditors shall (i) agree to be bound by Delphi's
standard nondisclosure agreement, and (ii) only report to
HP whether or not the payments were accurate, and if not
accurate, the amount of the deficiency or surplus, and
(iii) provide the same information to Delphi, as well as
their basis for their conclusions. Such audit may be no
more often than once every calendar year. If an audit
reveals an overpayment by Delphi, HP agrees to promptly
refund Delphi for such overpaid amount within ** of such an
audit report. If an audit reveals an underpayment by
Delphi, Delphi agrees to promptly pay HP the amount of such
underpayment, together with overdue interest thereon as
specified above. In addition, if such underpayment is
greater than ** of the amounts due for the period so
audited, Delphi will also promptly reimburse HP for the
cost of the audit as evidenced from such independent
auditor's bill.
5.4 Non-Discriminatory Treatment.
(a) Features. Delphi agrees that it will not create another web
site similar to Ebix.com and that the features which it adds
to other portions of its web related business rather than
Ebix.com, including the design and architecture of Ebix.com,
will not be allocated so as to unreasonably and adversely
affect the amount of Fees to be collected by HP.
(b) Pricing. **

13.13 Waiver and Modification. The failure of either Party to enforce its
rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be
construed as a waiver of such rights. No changes, modifications or
waivers are to be made to this Agreement unless evidenced in writing
and signed for and on behalf of both Parties.
13.14 Severability. If any provision in Agreement is found or held to be
invalid or unenforceable, then the meaning of such provision shall
be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision
enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save such
provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement
which shall remain in full force and effect. However, if the severed
provision is essential and material to the rights or benefits
received by either Party, the Parties shall use their best efforts
to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable
provision or agreement which most nearly effects their intent in
entering into this Agreement.
13.15 Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either Party will be excused to the
extent that performance is rendered impossible by earthquake,
strike, fire, flood, governmental acts or order or restrictions or

provided that the nonperforming Party gives prompt notice of such
conditions to the other Party and makes all reasonable efforts to
perform.

acceptable agreement within the following two (2) weeks, or such
other period as may be agreed between the Parties, the matter
shall be referred to General Manager for HP and Robin Raina,
President for Delphi. In the event they cannot reach a mutually
acceptable resolution within a reasonable time, either Party
shall be entitled to seek all available remedies, including legal
remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek
injunctive relief with respect to any disputed matter without
following the dispute resolution procedure set forth above.
