substantially all of their efforts to the Project during the Development Term.
The Parties agree that should any Key Personnel for any reason become
unavailable for more than twenty (20) consecutive days to devote substantially
all of his/her efforts to the Project during the Development Term, SEA shall use
its best efforts (at SEA's sole expense) to expeditiously replace the former
employee with someone else to be approved by PeopleSoft and LLC, which approval
cannot be unreasonably withheld. Should more than two Key Personnel become
concurrently unavailable for more than twenty (20) consecutive days to devote
substantially all of his/her efforts to the Project during the Development Term,
irrespective of whether SEA replaces such Key Personnel, this will constitute a
material breach of this Agreement by SEA. During the thirty day period after
notice of such material breach issued by PeopleSoft or LLC to SEA, SEA shall
have the opportunity to convince PeopleSoft and LLC that this will not
materially affect the Project during the Development Term, which explanation by
SEA can be accepted or rejected by PeopleSoft and LLC in their sole discretion.
10. PAYMENTS/DISTRIBUTORS.
10.1 PAYMENTS. PeopleSoft shall pay SEA during the Term for each sale, license
or other conveyance or transfer of the Derivative Software or any subset thereof
by PeopleSoft based on the appropriate payment percentage set forth in Exhibit
"D." Exhibit "D" states the payment percentages during the Term at nine
different levels of Project Funding. The payment percentage is determined based
on the date that the license contract is signed by a client, not the date that
the fees are invoiced. Except in the event of early termination as set forth in
Section 19, the appropriate payment percentages will be determined at the end of
the Development Term, and xxxx
Xxxx 11 of 40
12
be based solely on the Payment Rate Schedule associated with the aggregate
actual funding paid to SEA as of the end of the Development Term. If the actual
Project Funding falls in between two Project Funding Levels, the higher Project
Funding Level amount will be used to determine the applicable Payment Rate
Schedule. Should PeopleSoft's exclusive distribution rights under the Marketing
Agreement terminate, PeopleSoft may continue to distribute the Derivative
Software on a non-exclusive basis (in which case all payment obligations to SEA
will continue) and the LLC may distribute and/or appoint additional distributors
of the Derivative Software subject to SEA's written approval which will not be
unreasonably withheld. In considering such request, SEA is entitled to give full
consideration to the impact that approval of the distributor will have on SEA's
status as the Preferred Implementation Partner per Section 30 hereof and
interest in future payments per this Section 10. Should LLC distribute or
appoint distributors for the Derivative Software during the Term, LLC shall pay
SEA for each sale, license or other conveyance or transfer of the Derivative
Software or any subset thereof by LLC or additional distributors based on the
appropriate payment percentage set forth in Exhibit "D".
The payment rate shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit D based upon the
actual Project Funding received by SEA. Amounts reported and/or paid during the
Development Term will be based on the lowest applicable payment percentage for
that year. When the final actual amount of Project Funding is determined, a lump
sum adjustment will be made if the payment percentage used should have been
higher.
As an example only, if the Project Funding actually paid by LLC to SEA under
Section 7 hereof is [ * ], then the amount to be paid by PeopleSoft to SEA, for
a sale made in the fourth year of the Term, is [ * ] of the Net License Fee
attributable to such sale. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere herein, after
the Term, PeopleSoft and LLC shall have no further payment obligation to SEA.
10.2 DISTRIBUTORS. In the event PeopleSoft or LLC (upon termination of
PeopleSoft's exclusive distribution rights under the Marketing Agreement) wishes
to appoint additional distributors of the Derivative Software, the Parties will
meet and confer regarding such appointment. Any appointment of additional
distributors of the Derivative Software is subject to SEA's written approval
which will not be unreasonably withheld. In considering such a request, SEA is
entitled to give full consideration to the impact that approval of the
distributor will have on SEA's status as the Preferred Implementation Partner
per Section 30 hereof and interest in future payments per this section 10.
Regardless of whether the Derivative Software is distributed by PeopleSoft, LLC
or their distributors, PeopleSoft and LLC will be obligated to pay SEA their
respective payments due on any Net License Fees attributable to the Derivative
Software. In addition, any agreements between PeopleSoft or LLC and their
distributors shall obligate the distributor to pay SEA any amounts due SEA which
PeopleSoft or LLC have failed to pay on the distributors behalf.
11. LUMP SUM PAYMENT. If SEA, LLC and PeopleSoft mutually agree, the Parties may
elect to terminate this Agreement in exchange for the payment by PeopleSoft to
SEA of a lump sum payment, in an amount mutually agreed upon between the Parties
in writing. Payment of the lump sum payment shall terminate all of SEA's and
PeopleSoft's obligations hereunder, except for the obligations of SEA set forth
in Sections 11, 23, 24, and 38 hereof, and except for the obligations of
PeopleSoft set forth in Sections 11, 25 and 30 hereof. If SEA and PeopleSoft are
unable to amicably agree as to the amount of the lump sum payment, or if
PeopleSoft fails to pay such lump sum payment in full to SEA, then this Section
11 shall be of no force or effect and the Agreement shall remain in effect.
12. RECOVERY OF PROJECT FUNDING. All Project Funding will be recoverable
(subject to the terms and conditions set forth below), by PeopleSoft or, upon
termination of PeopleSoft's exclusive distribution rights, LLC from payments
earned by SEA under Section 10 hereof. If PeopleSoft and LLC both distribute the
Derivative Software and prepare a quarterly report pursuant to Section 13.2
which would result in a cumulative recovery of Project Funding which exceeds
total Project Funding, then each party's recovery for that quarter will be
subject to a pro-rata adjustment which would result in cumulative payments equal
to total Project Funding and a recovery of Project Funding for that quarter for
each party equal that party's proportionate share of payments reported for that
quarter. Except as set forth below, PeopleSoft and LLC will retain [ * ] of
payments otherwise payable to SEA under Section 10 hereof, up to the total
amount of Project Funding:

(i) During the [ * ] year of the Term, the first [ * ] in payments
payable under Section 10 hereof shall not be subject to recovery by PeopleSoft
and LLC.
(ii) During the [ * ] year of the Term, the first [ * ] in payments
payable under Section 10 hereof shall not be subject to recovery by PeopleSoft
and LLC.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the foregoing represents the
only means under this Agreement by which PeopleSoft and LLC may recover any of
the Project Funding from SEA, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees,
representatives, subcontractors, agents, or any other Project participant (other
than PeopleSoft, LLC or their assigns). If this payback structure does not
recover all Project Funding, SEA, its shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, representatives, subcontractors, agents and all Project participants
(other than PeopleSoft, LLC or their assigns) will bear no liability for
repayment of the Project Funding under this Agreement. PeopleSoft and LLC shall
have no right to recoup any other funds expended by PeopleSoft and LLC under
this Agreement or provided by PeopleSoft and LLC to SEA under this Agreement
other than as set forth above with respect to the Project Funding.
13. RECORDS AND REPORTS/PAYMENTS.
13.1 PEOPLESOFT RECORDS. PeopleSoft and LLC shall keep full, true and accurate
records and accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
to show the amounts payable to SEA. These records and accounts shall include for
each copy of Derivative Software or any Module licensed, sold, or otherwise
conveyed or distributed:
(i) The name and address of each recipient/purchaser/licensee.
(ii) The date of shipment and date of invoice from each
recipient/purchaser/licensee; and
(iii) A copy of each signed end user license agreement and other
applicable documents of transfer or conveyance.
PeopleSoft and LLC shall keep these records at their principal place of
business. At SEA's direction and expense, an independent certified public
accountant or public accounting firm shall have the right to conduct an audit of
such records once per calendar year to determine PeopleSoft's and LLC's
compliance with this Agreement. In the event any such audit reveals that
PeopleSoft or LLC has understated the amount of fees that PeopleSoft or LLC is
obligated to pay SEA under this Agreement by more than five percent (5%),
PeopleSoft or LLC shall pay, in addition to any fees contractually due all
reasonable costs, expenses and fees associated with the audit.
13.2 PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10, thirty (30) days
after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, PeopleSoft and LLC shall
(a) provide SEA with a quarterly report in accordance with its standard
reporting practices that is structured as a summary report and which also
provides the information set forth above in 13.1 (i), (ii) and (iii) above, with
accessibility to detailed backup information, and (b) pay SEA the amounts
associated with all applicable Net License Fees which are invoiced in such
quarter to end user licensees. The quarterly report provided by PeopleSoft and
LLC to SEA hereunder shall in each case set forth information concerning the
Module(s) licensed, customer name, ship date, quantity, standard list price,
actual fee received, reductions for bundled services, Net License Fee applicable
payment rate and the actual amount. All payments and calculations made hereunder
shall be in United States dollars.
The Parties shall proportionately share the risk of Derivative Software end user
licensee bad debts. Therefore, PeopleSoft and LLC shall be entitled to offset
against any future payment due under Section 10 to SEA the amount of any amount
previously paid to SEA for a Derivative Software end user licensee which is
subsequently and reasonably deemed uncollectable by PeopleSoft or LLC with all
collection efforts ceasing.
13.3 SEA RECORDS. SEA shall keep full, true and accurate records and accounts in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to show the expenditure
of the Project Funding. SEA shall keep these records at
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Page 13 of 40
14
SEA's principal place of business. PeopleSoft or LLC shall have the right to
conduct an audit, at PeopleSoft's or LLC's expense, of such records once per
calendar year.
14. CHANGES. After the completion in Phase 1 of the initial draft of the Test
Plans, PeopleSoft and LLC may from time to time request reasonable changes in
the Project by giving SEA written notice of such requested change. Within a
reasonable number of days, not to exceed five (5) business days following
receipt of such written notice of change, the following procedures shall govern:
(i) SEA will assess the impact of the desired change(s) on the
milestones to be reached, the timeframe for completion, the costs of the
Project, and any further areas which, in the opinion of SEA, are likely to be
affected by the desired change(s).
(ii) SEA will notify PeopleSoft and LLC, in writing, of its estimates
(which estimates shall not be binding on SEA if so labeled) regarding the items
set forth in paragraph (i) above and shall await written instructions from
PeopleSoft and LLC upon whether or not to proceed with the change(s). PeopleSoft
and LLC shall respond in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice,
advising SEA whether or not to proceed with the change(s).
(iii) In the event PeopleSoft or LLC wishes to incorporate PeopleSoft's
or LLC's requested change(s), such change(s) hereunder will be incorporated into
the Project on such terms and conditions as the Parties may agree by a written
amendment to this Agreement duly executed by the Parties hereto. If the Parties
cannot mutually agree in writing on the terms and conditions, then the requested
change(s) will not be incorporated into the Project.
15. ACCEPTANCE TESTING. PeopleSoft's and LLC's Acceptance of the Derivative
Software shall occur after PeopleSoft and LLC review the results of the testing
of the Derivative Software based on the mutually agreed upon Test Plans.
PeopleSoft and LLC will review and approve test results within the time frame to
be reasonably determined in the Test Plans. Within a reasonable time frame not
to exceed ninety (90) days, SEA will fix errors identified during development
and Acceptance Testing. PeopleSoft and LLC grant the following individuals full
authority to agree to test plans, and to review and approve test results: LLC's
General Manager (currently Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx), PeopleSoft's General Manager of
Higher Education (currently Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx), PeopleSoft's Public Sector
Development Manager [ * ] , and PeopleSoft's Student Administration Product Line
Manager [ * ] . Acceptance of the Derivative Software will occur upon the
approval of both the LLC's General Manager and PeopleSoft's General Manager of
Higher Education,
Nothing contained herein shall render SEA liable or responsible for the
correction or cost to correct any errors to the extent directly attributable to
the Software, Interface or Porting. Within a reasonable time period, PeopleSoft
agrees to, at PeopleSoft's expense and cost, which expense and cost shall not be
deemed Project Funding and shall not be recoverable under Section 12 or
otherwise under this Agreement, fix errors identified and agreed upon in writing
between the Parties during development and Acceptance Testing to the extent
directly attributable to the Software, any Interface, or Porting. Nothing in
Section 15 shall limit PeopleSoft's and LLC's right to terminate this Agreement
for convenience as set forth in Section 19.1.
16. MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS AND BACKUP. Within thirty (30) days after the end
of each calendar month, SEA shall furnish PeopleSoft and LLC with written
progress reports, reflecting its activity under this Agreement during the prior
month. The monthly progress reports shall contain such information and be in the
format that PeopleSoft and LLC shall reasonably request. SEA will backup the
development databases on the LAN provided by PeopleSoft under Section 5 hereof
daily and every week during the Development Term will provide PeopleSoft and LLC
with a copy of the entire backup.
17. PROJECT MILESTONES/DELAYS.
17.1 Xxxxxx Xxxxx 0 and as refined during Phase 2, both SEA, LLC and PeopleSoft
will define and mutually agree upon development milestones to be set forth in
the Project Plans.
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Page 14 of 40
15
SEA, LLC and PeopleSoft will also define and mutually agree in writing upon the
milestones to be set forth in the Project Plans that must be met in order for
SEA to vest in a payment stream ("Vesting Milestones"). The Vesting Milestone
for a particular time in the Project will be based only on the deliverables
actually delivered by SEA to PeopleSoft and LLC.
In the Project Plans, SEA, LLC and PeopleSoft shall set forth the percentage of
the total Project represented by each Vesting Milestone, and SEA will be vested
in that percentage of the payment stream as each Vesting Milestone achieves
Acceptance, with the payment schedule percentage to be determined using the
following implied funding xxxxx xxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx):
Actual funding to date x [ * ] = Implied Project Funding
Scheduled payments to date
Exhibit "G" provides a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only.
One of the Vesting Milestones may include PeopleSoft's and LLC's Acceptance of a
functional prototype of all the Module functions.
All Parties agree to work in good faith to ensure that all milestones are
achieved in the jointly agreed upon time frames.
17.2 In the event that SEA or PeopleSoft misses any milestone assigned to them
in the Project Plans, then at the time of missing such milestone, the Parties
will meet and confer to determine the reasonable necessity, if any, for any
extension of the applicable deadlines for any of the other's milestones which
the Parties reasonably believe are dependent on the milestone which was missed.
Any and all such Project Plan modifications and associated agreements must be
agreed upon in a formal written amendment to this Agreement to be effective.
17.3 Notwithstanding Sections 17.1 and 17.2, in the event that SEA or PeopleSoft
misses any milestone assigned to them in the Project Plans and fails to complete
the milestone within thirty (30) days from the milestone's original target date
or subsequently modified target date as set forth in an agreed upon writing,
then unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing within such thirty (30) day
cure period, such missed milestone(s) may be considered to be a material breach
subject to termination as set forth in Section 19.2 or 19.1 and such termination
in accordance with Section 19.2 or 19.1 shall be the sole remedy.
18. PROJECT COMPLETION DATE. SEA and PeopleSoft shall commence the Project on
the Effective Date, and SEA shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver the Derivative Software to PeopleSoft and LLC for Acceptance Testing in
accordance with the Test Plans on or before [ * ]. Time is of the essence
regarding this Agreement.
19. TERMINATION.
19.1 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE BY LLC.
(i) If LLC, in its sole discretion, terminates this Agreement, for any
reason other than for a material breach on the part of SEA, at any point prior
to thirty (30) days following LLC's receipt of the Project Plans specified in
Phase 1, LLC's sole obligation, other than with respect to the payment of any
vested payments associated with the applicable Vested Milestones as set forth in
Section 17 and payment of any pro-rated Project Funding due but not yet paid
prior to the date of termination, shall be to pay SEA a [ * ] cancellation fee
plus the actual lease cancellation costs paid by SEA for termination of its
office lease up to a maximum of [ * ].
Payments will be calculated using Exhibit "D", the Vesting Milestone
percentage(s) of the Project and the Implied Funding Level Formula. In the event
of a termination for convenience, the [ * ] cancellation fee paid by LLC shall
be recoverable and shall constitute Project Funding. The scheduled Project
Funding payments made by
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY

RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Page 15 of 40
16
LLC to SEA incurred prior to cancellation are recoverable by PeopleSoft and LLC
against PeopleSoft's and LLC's Section 10 payment obligations.
If LLC terminates this Agreement for convenience due to the failure to agree on
a Project Plan or if LLC terminates this Agreement for convenience with a belief
that an unfavorable market exists for the Derivative Software, PeopleSoft and
LLC will nevertheless negotiate in good faith to offer SEA the ability to act as
a non-exclusive VAR for the Derivative Software in accordance with PeopleSoft's
then current value-added-remarketer program for the higher education market.
(ii) After the thirty (30) day period set forth in paragraph (i) above
has elapsed, if LLC terminates this Agreement for convenience, and not due to a
material breach on the part of SEA, LLC's sole obligation to SEA, other than
with respect to payment of any vested payments set forth in Section 17, and
payment of any pro-rated Project Funding due but not yet paid prior to the date
of termination, will be to pay SEA [ * ] months expense and cost for the Key
Personnel, [ * ] months expense and cost for other developers, and [ * ] month
expense for administrative personnel at the point of termination plus the actual
lease cancellation costs paid by SEA for termination of its office lease up to a
maximum of [ * ]. This expense and cost shall be calculated at [ * ] per month
for each Key Personnel, [ * ] per month for other developers, and [ * ] per
month for administrative personnel. In no event shall such termination amount
exceed [ * ] . All termination payments made by LLC shall be Project Funding and
subject to recovery against future Section 10 payments payable to SEA, but shall
be excluded from the Implied Funding Level Formula.
(iii) LLC shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement for
convenience after [ * ], which is [ * ] months before the end of the Development
Term. The end of the Development Term is [ * ].
19.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
(i) Any party may terminate this Agreement and seek any available
remedies at law or equity, in the event one of the other Parties has committed
fraud under this Agreement or intentionally violates any other's intellectual
property rights.
(ii) If any party materially breaches this Agreement and does not
remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
one of the other Parties, the other Parties shall have the right, at its option,
to:
(1) Suspend performance or payment until such breach is remedied, without
excusing the breaching party from any obligation arising prior to the date of
such election;
(2) Cancel this Agreement, if the material breach is not a performance
breach by SEA for failure to achieve any Vesting Milestone, with no further
obligation except for SEA's return to LLC of any unexpended Project Funding and
the Development Environment, without excusing the breaching party from any
obligation arising prior to the date of such cancellation; or
(3) Seek a combination of (1) and (2) and seek those remedies available at
law or equity, except to the extent limited by the terms of this Agreement.
(iii) In the event SEA terminates this Agreement due to a material
breach by PeopleSoft or LLC, and provided SEA is not in material breach, SEA
only retains its rights to any vested payments under this Agreement and SEA's
sole remedy shall only be to retain all Project Funding received by SEA and
LLC's sole obligation to SEA, other than with respect to payment of any vested
payments set forth in Section 17, and payment of any pro-rated Project Funding
due but not yet paid prior to the date of termination, will be only to pay SEA
[ * ] months expense and cost for the Key Personnel, [ * ] months expense and
cost for other developers, and [ * ]
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Page 16 of 40
17
[ * ] month expense for administrative personnel at the point of termination of
the Agreement, plus the actual lease cancellation costs paid by SEA for
termination of its office lease up to a maximum of [ * ] . This expense shall be
calculated at [ * ] per month for each Key Personnel, [ * ] per month for other
developers, and [ * ] per month for administrative personnel. In no event shall
such termination payment amount exceed [ * ] . All termination payments made by
LLC shall be Project Funding and subject to recovery against future Section 10
Payments to SEA, but shall be excluded from the Implied Funding Level Formula.
In any event, SEA shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement for
convenience and SEA may only terminate this Agreement for cause as set forth in
this Section 19.2.
(iv) During the Development Term, in the event PeopleSoft or LLC
terminates this Agreement due to SEA's decision to work for another person or
entity to develop software competitive to the Derivative Software, PeopleSoft's
and LLC's damages shall be limited to the amount of Project Funding paid and
SEA's rights to continue to receive future payments shall immediately cease.
(v) During the Development Term, in the event PeopleSoft or LLC terminates
this Agreement due to SEA's failure to achieve any Vesting Milestone within
sixty (60) days of the agreed upon date in the Project Plans, SEA's rights to
continue to receive future payments under this Agreement shall continue, subject
to offset in the amount of the Project Funding paid by LLC to SEA and SEA shall
be entitled to receive payment of any pro-rated Project Funding due under the
Project Plans but not yet paid prior to the date of written notice of default
due to failure to achieve the Vesting Milestone. LLC's obligation to provide
Project Funding is suspended at the time of issuance of a notice of default due
to a failure of SEA to achieve a Vesting Milestone and is revived only upon cure
of the material breach.

23.1 SEA and PeopleSoft agree that all or any portion of the Modules, Derivative
Software and design documents, flow charts and all other related development
documents, and all patents and copyrights to each of the items therein, shall be
the exclusive property of LLC. PeopleSoft, SEA or any of its agents,
subcontractors or consultants shall have no ownership interest in the Modules,
Derivative Software or development documents. SEA and PeopleSoft agree that the
Derivative Software, Modules and development documents shall be considered a
"work for hire" for the benefit of LLC and any of its assigns pursuant to this
Agreement. Upon LLC's reasonable request, SEA and PeopleSoft agree to execute
documents, including, but not limited to, copyright assignment documents, and to
perform such acts as may be deemed necessary or advisable to confirm in LLC all
right, title and interest of SEA and PeopleSoft in and to the Modules,
Derivative Software and development documents, including all patent
applications, patents and copyrights thereon, and to enable and assist LLC in
procuring, maintaining, enforcing and defending patents, copyrights and other
applicable statutory protection on the Modules, development documents and the
Derivative Software. Except as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, SEA and
PeopleSoft hereby irrevocably assign to LLC in perpetuity all right, title and
interest in the Derivative Software, Modules and development documents that SEA

23.2 Pursuant to the Maintenance and Support Services Terms and Conditions
(Exhibit F), all Parties acknowledge that, after the development term, the
Derivative Software will be subject to maintenance, updates and enhancements as
further described in Exhibit F. The Parties anticipate that such maintenance,
updates and enhancements will be so significant that after [ * ] years the
Derivative Software will have evolved to substantially new software as compared
to the Derivative Software released at the end of the Development Term. If the
Maintenance and Support Services and all enhancements are funded principally by
PeopleSoft and PeopleSoft has retained its exclusive distribution rights under

will receive all right, title and ownership as described in Section 23.1 to the
Derivative Software upon the earlier of i) the payment of [ * ] in cumulative
payments to LLC (but such title transfer shall not alter PeopleSoft's payment
obligations to LLC under the Marketing Agreement), or ii) the end of the payment
term. If the Maintenance and Support Services and all enhancements are funded by
PeopleSoft and LLC, and/or PeopleSoft is no longer the exclusive distributor of
the Derivative Software, the LLC will continue to have all right, title and
ownership in the Derivative Software as of the end of the Development Term and
PeopleSoft and the LLC will [ * ] ownership interest in any modifications,
enhancements or other changes made to the Derivative Software subsequent to the
Development Term until PeopleSoft has paid [ * ] in cumulative payments to LLC
at which time PeopleSoft will receive all right, title and ownership as
described in Section 23.1 to the Derivative Software
24. INDEMNIFICATION BY SEA. Notwithstanding Section 22.1, SEA shall indemnify
and defend PeopleSoft and LLC against any claims (i) that all or any portion of
the Derivative Software and Modules developed by SEA infringe any United States
or Canadian patent, copyright or trade secret; (ii) attributable to any act of
SEA in its creation of the Derivative Software or Modules; or (iii) relating to
third party licenses or other agreements between SEA and any third party, in
each case provided that SEA is given prompt notice of such claim and is given
information, reasonable assistance, and authority to defend or settle the claim.
In the defense or settlement of the claim, SEA may obtain for PeopleSoft and LLC
the right to continue using and marketing the Derivative Software and Modules or
replace or modify Derivative Software and Modules so that it becomes
noninfringing while giving substantially equivalent performance. SEA shall have
no liability to the extent the alleged infringement is based on: (i) a
modification of Derivative Software or Modules by anyone other than SEA or its
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

agents, consultants or subcontractors under SEA's direction; (ii) the use of the
Derivative Software or Modules other than in accordance with the Documentation;
(iii) the Software; (iv) any Interface; (v) any Porting. SEA shall have no
liability to the extent the alleged infringement is based on claims covered by
Section 25 hereof. However, each party shall be liable to the others in the
percentage amount of their determined liability.
25. INDEMNIFICATION BY PEOPLESOFT. Notwithstanding Section 22.1, PeopleSoft
shall indemnify and defend SEA and LLC against any claims (i) that all or any
portion of the Software, the Interfaces or the Porting developed by PeopleSoft
infringe any United States or Canadian patent, copyright or trade secret; (ii)
attributable to any act of PeopleSoft in its creation, distribution or
maintenance of any of the Software, Derivative Software, Documentation, Modules,
Development Environment and Beta Sites; or (iii) relating to third party
licenses or other agreements between PeopleSoft and any third party, in each
case provided that PeopleSoft is given prompt notice of such claim and is given
information, reasonable assistance, and authority to defend or settle the claim.
PeopleSoft shall have no liability to the extent the alleged infringement is
based on claims covered by Section 24 hereof. However, each party shall be
liable to the others in the percentage amount of their determined liability.
26. LICENSE. During the Term only, PeopleSoft and LLC grant SEA a non-exclusive,
nontransferable license to use a reasonable number of copies of the Software
solely for promotion, demonstration or internal use purposes connected with this
Agreement or in conjunction with SEA's development, support, demonstration,
testing (and all other similar supporting tasks) of the Derivative Software.
SEA's use of the Software shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions
of PeopleSoft's standard license agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit "E" and in the event of conflict between the license in this
Agreement and Exhibit "E", the Agreement shall control.
27. MAINTENANCE CONTRACT. SEA and PeopleSoft and, upon termination of
PeopleSoft's exclusive distribution rights under the Marketing Agreement, LLC
agree to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of a Maintenance
Contract for the Derivative Software. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts
to finalize the Maintenance Contract at least six (6) months prior to the
initial shipment of the beta versions of the Derivative Software and may include
terms and conditions similar to those identified in Exhibit F attached hereto.
28. NONCOMPETITION.
This Section 28 shall survive termination of the Agreement only for a period of
one (1) year from termination.
28.1 RESTRICTIONS ON SEA. During the Term, SEA shall not directly or indirectly
(other than with LLC, PeopleSoft or a PeopleSoft Affiliate) develop or
participate in the development or marketing to the higher education market of
any software product being developed for commercial distribution which is
competitive with the Derivative Software. After the Development Term, SEA and
its personnel are not precluded from participating in the custom development of
software or the customization of software packages for internal use only by
individual clients and SEA will undertake all reasonable efforts to ensure that
there is no plan to transfer or convey external use rights in any way to the
custom software and/or the customizations.
28.2 RESTRICTIONS ON PEOPLESOFT AND LLC. During the Term, PeopleSoft and LLC
shall not directly or indirectly (other than with SEA) participate in the
distribution or marketing to the higher education marketplace of any software
product which is directly competitive with the Derivative Software. This Section
28.2 shall immediately cease (with no one year waiting period) in the event SEA
elects to work with another entity or person to develop or market software which
is competitive with the Derivative Software.
29. SALE OF INTEREST IN SEA. PeopleSoft, Inc. shall have a first right of
refusal in connection with each and any sale of a [ * ] interest in the
outstanding or newly issued capital stock of SEA during the Development Term or
any interest once SEA has cumulatively conveyed (via multiple transactions) more
than [ * ] percent. The intent is not to permit SEA to circumvent PeopleSoft's
first right of refusal rights or PeopleSoft's right to terminate Section 30
after the Development Term by SEA selling multiple [ * ] interests which have
the cumulative effect of transferring a cumulative interest of more than [ * ]
percent to a third party or Parties. A [ * ] interest is defined as [ * ] or
more. As used herein, a sale of a [ * ] interest in the
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Page 20 of 40
21
outstanding or newly issued capital stock of SEA shall expressly exclude any
interest offered or transferred pursuant to an employee benefit plan or to or
between any person(s) who are both employees, directors, shareholders or
controlling persons of SEA. After the expiration of the Development Term and
first year of the Maintenance Contract (or earlier termination of this
Agreement) this Section 29 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect,
except that a sale of a [ * ] interest will act to terminate Section 30
in the event PeopleSoft reasonably determines that (i) SEA's ability to act as a
preferred implementation partner will have a negative impact on PeopleSoft's
Derivative Software marketing activities, (ii) is likely to result in disclosure
of PeopleSoft Confidential Information, (iii) it is likely to adversely impact
PeopleSoft's ability to manage other Derivative Software implementation
partnerships; or (iv) a PeopleSoft competitor has acquired the [ * ] interest in
SEA. Should PeopleSoft not exercise its first right of refusal, LLC shall have
the same first right of refusal as described herein.
30. PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER STATUS. Effective as of the Effective Date,
SEA will be given a preferred implementation partner status associated with the
Derivative Software. PeopleSoft, LLC and SEA will work together during and at
the end of the Development Period to develop a preferred role for SEA within any
PeopleSoft or LLC implementation partners program for the Derivative Software.
In any event, SEA will have the right to acquire and use Derivative Software
licenses for internal use only at no license fee in conjunction with SEA's role
as an implementation partner. As of the Effective Date, PeopleSoft and SEA have
discussed the possibility of a key role for SEA within the Derivative Software
installation process. Such good faith discussions shall continue during and at
the conclusion of the Development Term to define SEA's role. The intent behind
this paragraph is not necessarily to provide SEA with exclusive status as an
implementation partner, but to offer SEA preferential treatment to the extent
reasonably practicable within PeopleSoft's or LLC's (or any distributor
appointed by LLC) then current implementation partners program.
During the Term, neither PeopleSoft nor LLC will enter into any transactions
that contractually limit in a material fashion PeopleSoft's or LLC's continuing
relationship with SEA as a preferred implementor. If PeopleSoft, LLC or any
other distributor appointed by the LLC begins to offer implementation services
themselves, SEA's preferred status will still be in force. SEA will not then be
obligated to pay PeopleSoft or LLC any finder's fees for any implementation
business that SEA may obtain, nor shall PeopleSoft, LLC or any other distributor
appointed by the LLC accept any finder's fees from any other implementation
services providers for assisting PeopleSoft, LLC or any other distributor
appointed by the LLC in obtaining customers. In the event that SEA has proven to
be ineffective as a preferred implementation provider as reasonably indicated by
PeopleSoft's or LLC's client feedback, or does not have sufficient resources
available to provide timely implementation services to new licensee's,
PeopleSoft and LLC shall have the right to terminate the restrictions in this
paragraph.
Both PeopleSoft and LLC recognize SEA's status as the Preferred Implementation
Partner associated with the Derivative Software as defined herein and agree
hereby to meet before the end of the Development and agree upon a regular
schedule of meetings in which the Parties will discuss planned and ongoing
software development efforts, joint marketing plans and any reasonable request
for information regarding End Users.
31. PARTICIPATION ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS. As of the Effective Date and throughout
the Term, SEA shall provide PeopleSoft or LLC with one (1) seat on SEA's board
of directors
32. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING BY SEA / SUBCONTRACTING BY PEOPLESOFT
32.1 During the Development Term, SEA shall not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of LLC, which consent can be withheld in LLC's sole discretion.
With LLC's prior written consent, SEA will be entitled to subcontract work to be
performed under the Project Plans, provided that such assignment shall not work
a novation and SEA shall remain responsible for all of its duties and
obligations hereunder. SEA is responsible for all costs and expenses associated
with the subcontract and such costs shall be considered Project Funding.
* CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY

32.2 PeopleSoft will be entitled to subcontract work to be performed under the
Project Plans or otherwise in its discretion, provided that such assignment
shall not work a novation as to PeopleSoft and PeopleSoft shall remain
responsible for all of its duties and obligations hereunder.
32.3 SEA shall not hire or utilize [ * ] without the prior written consent of
PeopleSoft and LLC, which consent may be withheld in PeopleSoft's or LLC's sole
discretion. Once PeopleSoft and LLC provide such written consent, such person
shall be permitted to work for SEA without further consent required, provided
adequate written assurances are received by SEA from such person that they are
not contractually or otherwise prohibited from developing the Derivative
Software. In the event such person is reasonably viewed thereafter by
PeopleSoft, LLC or SEA to have breached their representations to SEA, SEA shall
not be in material breach of this Agreement provided SEA has taken all
reasonable actions to remedy or cure such employee breach which may include
termination of such employee's employment with SEA.
Any assignment or transfer by either party in violation of this Section 32.
shall be deemed to be null and void.
33. PERFORMANCE AUDITS. In order to ensure the proper performance hereunder,
PeopleSoft and LLC shall have the right at anytime upon reasonable notice to
inspect and receive copies of all completed and partially completed portions of
the Derivative Software, programming, printed program source code listings,
narratives, record layouts, file descriptions, computer output, working papers
and other material relating to the Project.
34. ACCESS TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Once every twelve months, SEA, LLC and
PeopleSoft shall provide the Parties with updated and audited financial
statements for its company.

SEA shall be deemed to be an independent contractor in the performance of this
Agreement and shall not be considered or permitted to be an agent, servant,
joint venturer or partner of PeopleSoft or LLC. All persons furnished, used,
retained or hired by or on behalf of SEA shall be considered to be solely the
employees or independent contractors of SEA, and SEA at all times shall maintain
such supervision and control over its employees as is necessary to preserve its
independent contractor status. SEA shall be responsible for payment of any and
all unemployment, social security, withholding, and other payroll taxes for its
employees, as applicable, including any related assessments or contributions
required by law.
PeopleSoft shall be deemed to be an independent contractor in the performance of
this Agreement and shall not be considered or permitted to be an agent, servant,
joint venturer or partner of SEA or LLC. All persons furnished, used, retained
or hired by or on behalf of PeopleSoft shall be considered to be solely the
employees of PeopleSoft, and PeopleSoft at all times shall maintain such
supervision and control over its employees as is necessary to preserve its
independent contractor status. PeopleSoft shall be responsible for payment of
any and all unemployment, social security, withholding, and other payroll taxes
for its employees, as applicable, including any related assessments or
contributions required by law.
36. FORCE MAJEURE. No party shall be deemed to be in default of any provision of
this Agreement or liable for failures in performance resulting from acts or
events beyond the reasonable control of such party. Such acts and events shall
include but not be limited to acts of God, civil or military authority, civil
disturbance, war, strikes, fires, earthquakes, other catastrophes, or other
"force majeure" events beyond a party's reasonable control, and shall NOT
include the death or disability of Key Personnel.
37. ARBITRATION; CHOICE OF LAW; FORUM.
37.1 ARBITRATION AUTHORITY. PeopleSoft, LLC and SEA expressly agree that any
dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or

consequential damages.
37.2 CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement was entered into in the State of California,

determined and governed by the substantive laws and judicial decisions of the
State of California applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely
within the State of California.

conducted by a court prior to, in conjunction with, or after any arbitration

foregoing, any award rendered in the arbitration and any order issued by the
Superior Court of the State of California for the same county may be enforced in
any court of competent jurisdiction.
37.4 ARBITRATION HEARING. PeopleSoft, LLC and SEA expressly agree that an oral
hearing will be held in the arbitration. The oral hearing will commence within
sixty (60) days after appointment of the arbitrator and will conclude within
thirty (30) days after it commences. The arbitrator will make every effort to
enforce this requirement strictly, and may extend the time for commencing and/or
concluding the hearing only upon a showing that exceptional circumstances
require extension to prevent manifest injustice.
37.5 COSTS AND FEES. PeopleSoft, LLC and SEA shall bear the expense of
conducting the arbitration in equal proportions, but either PeopleSoft, LLC or

any award. PeopleSoft, LLC and SEA expressly agree that each will bear its own

party.

and binding, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT F
MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Prior to the conclusion of Phase 3, SEA and PeopleSoft agree to negotiate in
good faith the terms and conditions of a Maintenance Contract for the Derivative
Software. Such agreement may include terms and conditions similar to those
outlined herein. Upon termination of PeopleSoft's exclusive distribution rights
under the Marketing Agreement, SEA and the LLC agree to negotiate in good faith
the terms and conditions of a Maintenance Contract for the Derivative Software
and all references in this Exhibit F to "PeopleSoft" will change to "PeopleSoft
or the LLC".
In performing its duties under the Maintenance Contract, if any, SEA shall
utilize the equivalent of [ * ] time technical personnel and application
specialists working no more than [ * ] hours each annually, with such hours to
be allocated evenly throughout the term of the Maintenance Contract, to provide
the following services to PeopleSoft and its licensees of the Derivative
Software, in order of their priority:
Ongoing fixes of bugs in Derivative Software. A "bug" is an error in the
Derivative Software that prevents it from performing in accordance with the
Test Plans.
Second level support direct to PeopleSoft for Derivative Software licensees.
Revisions and limited enhancements to existing Derivative Software modules,
limited by the amount of time available from the [ * ] staff members
assigned to the Maintenance Contract, with such efforts to be allocated
evenly throughout the term of the Maintenance Contract. It is assumed that
this would include, as the first priority, the revision of the Financial Aid
system to meet new regulatory requirements, which is estimated to require
from [ * ] man-months of work annually.
Participation in Derivative Software user group conferences and activities.
Participation in appropriate professional groups and conferences in order to
anticipate changing requirements and to identify new opportunities.
Sales support assistance for Derivative Software sales opportunities,
estimated not to exceed [ * ] man days per year.
All response time and fix periods to be negotiated in good faith.
The Maintenance Contract will be for a one year term, and will be renewed
annually if mutually agreed upon by SEA and PeopleSoft. The Maintenance Contract
would commence at the start of the third year after the Effective Date. The cost
of the Maintenance Contract would be negotiated annually based on the number and
seniority of the personnel assigned to the contract by SEA and agreed to by
PeopleSoft.
As a part of the Maintenance Contract, PeopleSoft would continue to provide
complete support for SEA's Development Environment, as described in Section 5 of
this Agreement and the technical support as described in Section 6 of the
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Development Term is completed, it is
anticipated that there will be significant ongoing development of new Software
and enhancement of the Derivative Software functions and modules. Ongoing
enhancement is crucial to the continuing expansion of sales. Such ongoing
development activity is expected to be outside the scope of the Maintenance
Contract, except as described above. Separate contracts would be negotiated
between SEA and PeopleSoft for this work.

EXHIBIT G
VESTED PAYMENT EXAMPLE
The following exhibit is only provided for the purpose of illustrating a
hypothetical payment computation in the event that termination of this Agreement
occurs prior to the end of the Development Term.
Example assumptions:
Contract effective date is January 16, 1995.
Early termination occurs at the end of month 7 (August 15, 1995).
Actual funding paid to SEA as of the date of early termination is [ * ]
Vesting Milestone one is deemed to be [ * ] of the project.
Vesting Milestone two is deemed to be [ * ] of the project.
No other Vesting Milestones have been reached, and therefore are not
relevant to this example.
SEA has completed Vesting Milestones one and two at or prior to the
early termination date, and consequently is [ * ] vested in their
payments.
Subject sale of the Derivative Software is earned in year 4 of the
original term.
Subject sale results in a Net License Fee of [ * ]
To determine the applicable payment percentage to be used, the following steps
must be taken:
1) Determine the applicable funding (and consequent Payment Rate
Schedule). Since the project stopped in month 7, the scheduled project
funding through month 7 paid to SEA would be [ * ] in accordance with
schedule C. Using the Implied Funding Payment Formula and the example
values, the implied total project funding is determined to be [ * ] as
follows:
[ * ]
Note: Since the implied total project funding falls in between the
[ * ] level and the [ * ] level, in accordance with this Agreement, the
higher funding schedule is applicable. Therefore, the applicable
Project Funding Level (Payment Rate Schedule) is [ * ]
2) Select the appropriate annual rate from schedule D using the [ * ]
funding schedule, which is [ * ]
3) Multiply the vesting percentage [ * ] by the payment rate [ * ] by
the Net License Fees to determine the appropriate payment to SEA, as
follows:
[ * ] (payment due SEA subject to Project Funding recovery)
