9. MODIFICATIONS
The Parties agree and acknowledge, subject to PeopleSoft's underlying
proprietary rights, that Service Provider may create Software modifications for
a certain Designated Customers at such Designated Customer's request which
modifications would not compete with any of PeopleSoft's product offerings
solely and exclusively for Service Providers' Designated Customers' internal
business operations ("Modifications"). As between Service Provider and
PeopleSoft, subject to PeopleSoft's underlying proprietary rights in PeopleTools
and/or PepperTools, Service Provider shall own all right, title, and interest in
and to any such Modification developed by Service Provider and all Intellectual
Property Rights therein and thereto. Service Provider agrees to use such
Modification only for Service Provider's internal business operations and/or the
internal use by its Designated Customers. Further, Service Provider shall not
sell, distribute or license such Modification to any other third parties.
To the extent that Service Provider desires to have PeopleSoft provide support
for such Modification consistent with PeopleSoft's Support Services, Service
Provider will notify PeopleSoft and deliver to PeopleSoft the source and object
code versions of such Modification, and any updates or further modifications
thereto, and if PeopleSoft accepts the Modification for the provision of Support
Services, PeopleSoft shall then have a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide,
royalty free license from Service Provider to use, enhance, distribute,
sublicense and incorporate such Modification into PeopleSoft's software
products.
If Service Provider elects to undergo development during the term of this
Agreement of a technical or functional addition to the Software, designed to
improve functionality and/or operations, which is not a Modification
("Enhancement"), Service Provider and PeopleSoft shall negotiate in good faith a
separate software development and license agreement which would provide for, at
a minimum, ownership of and licenses to any such Enhancement as well as
intellectual property indemnification with respect to such Enhancements. For the

title and interest worldwide in and to such Intellectual Property Rights. If
Service Provider has any rights to such Intellectual Property Rights that cannot
be assigned to PeopleSoft, Service Provider unconditionally and irrevocably
waives the enforcement of such rights, and all claims and causes of action of
any kind against PeopleSoft with respect to such rights, and agrees, at
PeopleSoft's request and expense, to consent in writing to and join in any
action to enforce such rights. If Service Provider has any rights to such
Intellectual Property Rights that cannot be assigned to PeopleSoft or waived by
Service Provider, Service Provider unconditionally and irrevocably grants to
PeopleSoft during the term of such rights, an exclusive, (subject to Service
Provider's own right to use as set forth above) irrevocable, perpetual,
worldwide, fully paid and royalty-free license, with rights to sublicense
through multiple levels of sublicense, to reproduce, create derivative works of,
distribute, publicly perform and publicly display by all means now known or
later developed, such rights.
(c) Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless PeopleSoft from and
against any suits, actions, losses, damages and other expenses arising out of or
in connection with any claim that any Software Modifications, as delivered by
Service Provider to a Designated Customer infringes or violates a U.S. or

of any third party; provided PeopleSoft (i) notifies Service Provider in writing
within ten (10) days of such claim, suit or proceeding, (ii) gives Service
Provider the right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense
and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding; and (iii) gives assistance and
full cooperation for the defense of same. If PeopleSoft's use of the
Modifications is prevented in any way by an injunction or court order because of
any claim of infringement or misappropriation, Service Provider shall, at its
sole expense, use reasonable commercial efforts to: (a) replace or modify such
software so that it is no longer subject to a claim of infringement; or (b)
procure for the benefit of PeopleSoft the right to use such software. Service
Provider shall have liability under this Section 10(c) for the claim of
infringement based only on the percentage or portion the infringement claim is
(or alleged to be) attributable to such software. The provisions of the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply with respect to any instances of alleged
infringement based upon or arising out of the use of such Modification in any
manner for which the Modification was not designed, or for use of Modification
for other than the uses and distributions designated by Service Provider, for
use of any Modification which has been modified by PeopleSoft or any third
party, or for use of any Modification in connection with or in combination with
any equipment, devices or software which have not been approved by Service
Provider, where such alleged infringement would not have occurred but for the
use of such Modification in connection with or in combination with such
equipment devices or software.

(A) TERM.
Page 15 of 33
16
The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement and continue for an initial term of [*] unless sooner terminated as
set forth below. This Agreement shall be reviewed annually (the "Annual Review")
by the Parties. The Annual Review shall include such criteria as performance in
the marketplace (as determined by comparison against PeopleSoft's standard
support, quality and referencability guidelines, which guidelines shall be made
reasonably available to Service Provider) and a review of the business terms
herein. This Agreement will automatically renew for eight (8) successive one (1)
year terms unless Service Provider gives the other Party written notice of its
intent to allow the Agreement to terminate at its expiration. Such notice shall
be given not less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Agreement's
term.
(B) TERMINATION WITH CAUSE.
Any of the following shall constitute an event of default:

under this Agreement and such failure remains uncured for
forty-five (45) days after receipt of written notice thereof; or
(2) Either Party ceases to conduct business, becomes or is declared
insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceeding relating
to its liquidation or insolvency which is not dismissed within
ninety (90) days or makes an assignment for the benefit or its
creditors.
If an event of default occurs, the non-defaulting Party in addition to any other
rights available to it under law or equity, may withhold its performance
hereunder or may terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder by
written notice to the defaulting Party. Unless otherwise provided in this

or (b) PeopleSoft's then current standard Support Services cycle for supporting
the then-current release (the "Migration Period") and PeopleSoft agrees and
acknowledges its obligations to honor such Sublicense Agreements for such
Migration Period. The intent of this section is not to force Designated
Customers to migrate from Service Provider's support in a manner that unduly

section to dramatically limit the likelihood that Service Provider will take
actions that materially breach this Agreement and then fail to satisfactorily
cure the material breach in a timely manner.
(D) PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION.
If Service Provider terminates this Agreement, the payment date of all moneys
due to PeopleSoft shall automatically be accelerated so that they shall become
due and payable on the effective date of termination, even if longer terms had

PeopleSoft for obligations beyond the end of the Migration Period. If PeopleSoft
terminates this Agreement, Service Provider shall immediately pay PeopleSoft all
payments due as of the date of termination.

Service Provider may not assign this Agreement, delegate any duty or assign any
right hereunder without the prior written consent of PeopleSoft, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any assignment in violation of this section
shall be void and of no effect.

Page 18 of 33
18
The failure of either Party to require performance by the other Party of any
provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such 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.
(E) SEVERABILITY.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or
invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision,
such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement
unenforceable or invalid as a whole and, in such event, any such provision shall

arising out of this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year
after the cause of action has accrued. PeopleSoft reserves the right to audit
