Agreement and continue for an initial term of two (2) years 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:

        (1)     Either Party fails to perform any of its material obligations
                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.

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
Agreement, remedies shall be cumulative and there shall be no obligation to
exercise a particular remedy.

(C)     RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION.

Provider shall be permitted to continue to use the Software solely to fulfill
existing contractual obligations for the greater of: (a) [*] 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 disrupts a Designated
Customer's business operations, rather the intent of this 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
been provided previously; provided, however, that in no event shall the
foregoing obligate Service Provider to accelerate and make payments to
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.

(E)     LIABILITY UPON TERMINATION.

prohibitions of this section shall apply only to recruitment conducted or
directed by personnel of Service Provider or PeopleSoft who have directly or
indirectly acquired knowledge of recruitment prospects by reason of such
prospects' involvement in such activities; and provided further that the sole,
exclusive remedy for violations of this provision shall be monetary and shall be

All notices or reports permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be by personal delivery, telegram, telex, telecopier,

requested, and shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, five (5) days after
deposit in the mail, or upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic

of this Agreement or such other address as either Party may specify in writing.
Notices shall be sent to the person bearing the title set forth below the
Party's signature to this Agreement.

(B)     FORCE MAJEURE.

Neither Party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on
account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm,
explosions, acts of God, war governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes,
material shortages or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of
such Party; provided however, that problems resulting from PeopleSoft's failure
to be Year 2000 Compliant shall not be deemed to be a force majeure event.

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

<PAGE>   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
be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such
unenforceable or intended provision within the limits of applicable law or
applicable court decisions.

(F)     INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

It is understood and agreed that notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, a breach by Service Provider of Section 2 ("License Grants") or by
either Party of Section 11 ("Confidentiality"), may cause either Party
irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and
that, in addition to any and all remedies available at law, either Party shall
be entitled to seek timely injunctive relief to protect its rights under this
Agreement.

(G)     CONTROLLING LAW.

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United
States of America and the State of California as such laws are applied to

California residents. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership
or other form of joint enterprise between the Parties.

monthly Active User Fee not to exceed [*] per Active User unless otherwise
mutually agreed.

1b.     Casual Users. During the term of the Agreement, Service Provider shall
pay to PeopleSoft a monthly Casual User Fee not to exceed [*] per Casual User,

2.      TECHNOLOGY ACCESS FEE.

In consideration for the market access, distribution, Preferred ASP Partner

non-refundable, non-cancelable aggregate fee of [*], which shall be payable on a
PeopleSoft fiscal quarterly basis for the term of the eighteen (18) month

period is terminated pursuant to section 3(b) prior to the expiration of such
eighteen (18) month exclusivity period, Service Provider shall not be

termination; provided, however that Service Provider shall continue to be

3.      USER FEE ADJUSTMENTS.

Fees on no less than an annual basis to ensure the User Fees and pricing model
are competitive in the market and consistent with changes in PeopleSoft pricing.

Service Provider has increased the pricing of the User Fees at any time after
execution of an Outsourcing Agreement with a Designated Customer (whether in

party Software products or modules provided by PeopleSoft solely with PeopleSoft
Software. Licensee may modify or merge the Software with other software,
provided, however, that no modification, however extensive, shall diminish
PeopleSoft's title or interest in the Software or constitute a waiver of moral
rights in the Software.

1.2     PeopleSoft grants Licensee the right, solely for Licensee's internal
data processing operations, to permit Software access to a Designate, provided
such access does not include permitting Designate to copy the Software or access
the source code.

specified in the Schedule. Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies of
the Software solely for Licensee's internal use, including back-up and archive
purposes, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided all copyright
and proprietary notices are reproduced.

2.      LICENSE EXCLUSIONS

2.1     Except as otherwise provided here, Licensee shall not:

a.      Cause or permit reverse compilation or assembly of all or any portion of
        the Software;

b.      Distribute, disclose, market, rent, lease or transfer to any third party
        any portion of the Software (including Tools) or use the Software in any
        service bureau arrangement, facility management, or third party
        training;

c.      Disclose the results of Software performance benchmarks to any third
        party without PeopleSoft's prior written consent;

d.      Transfer the Software to a different database platform or operating
        system, or use the Software outside the Named Country, without Notice to
        PeopleSoft and payment of any additional fees that may be due;

e.      Export Software in violation of U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Canadian, or
        applicable export administration regulations; or,

f.      Use Tools except with the licensed PeopleSoft applications.

2.2     No license, right, or interest in any PeopleSoft trademark, trade name,
        or service mark is granted.

3.      FEES AND PAYMENT

3.1     Licensee shall pay PeopleSoft the fees as specified in each Schedule.
Unless Licensee provides PeopleSoft with a valid tax exemption or direct pay
certificate, Licensee is responsible for all taxes, duties and customs fees
concerning the Software and/or services, excluding taxes based on PeopleSoft's
income. Overdue payments shall be subject to a finance charge equal to the
lesser of twelve percent per year or the maximum rate allowed under applicable
law.

3.2     Software license fees are based on Operating Metrics. Expansion of
Licensee's level of use requires payment of additional fees to PeopleSoft, as
set forth in the Schedule.

3.4     PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with annual statements of its
Operating Metrics. Licensee agrees to certify its then-current Operating Metrics
to PeopleSoft. If Licensee's then-current Operating Metrics are such that an
additional fee is required for Licensee's then-current level of use, PeopleSoft
shall invoice Licensee for the applicable fee. Any failure to pay such
applicable fee and continued utilization of the Software above or beyond the
licensed level of use is unauthorized.

4.      TITLE AND PROTECTION

4.1     PeopleSoft (or its third-party providers) retains title to all portions
of the Software, derivative works, and any copies thereof. If Licensee creates a
Software modification ("Licensee Modification"), Licensee shall have a
perpetual, royalty-free license to use Licensee Modification in accordance with
this Agreement. Licensee may, at its option, disclose Licensee Modification to
PeopleSoft or PeopleSoft customers through PeopleSoft Customer Connection.
PeopleSoft shall have no obligation to support Licensee Modification.

4.2     Title to Software physical media vests in Licensee upon delivery.
PeopleSoft represents that Software contains valuable proprietary information.
Software has been developed at private expense and is provided to U.S.
Government agencies/ subcontractors subject to applicable restrictions of FAR
52.227-19(c) or DFAR 227.7202-32, for defense-related agencies.

5.      INDEMNITY

PeopleSoft shall indemnify and defend Licensee against any claims that the
Software infringes any United States or Canadian patent or copyright, provided
that PeopleSoft is given prompt Notice of such claim and is given information,
reasonable assistance, and sole authority to defend or settle the claim. In the
defense or settlement of the claim, PeopleSoft may, in its reasonable judgment
and at its option and expense: (1) obtain for Licensee the right to continue
using the Software; or (2) replace or modify the Software so that it becomes
noninfringing while giving equivalent performance. PeopleSoft shall have no
liability to indemnify or defend Licensee to the extent the alleged infringement
is based on any Software: (a) modification by anyone other than PeopleSoft; or
(b) use other than in accordance with the Documentation or this Agreement.

of this Agreement where such non-compliance remains uncured for more than 30
days after Notice.

6.2     If a default occurs, the nondefaulting party, in addition to any other
rights available to it under law or equity, may terminate this Agreement and all
licenses granted here by giving Notice to the defaulting party. Except as
otherwise specifically stated herein, remedies shall be cumulative and there
shall be no obligation to exercise a particular remedy.

certify in writing to PeopleSoft that all Software copies in any form, including
partial copies within modified versions, have been destroyed or returned to
PeopleSoft.

7.1     PeopleSoft warrants that it has title to the Software and/or the
authority to grant licenses to use the Software.

7.2     PeopleSoft warrants that the Software will perform substantially in
accordance with the Documentation for a period of one year from the date of
initial installation and that the Software media is free from material defects.
PeopleSoft does not warrant that the Software is error-free.

7.3     PeopleSoft's sole obligation is limited to repair or replacement of the
defective Software, provided Licensee notifies PeopleSoft of the deficiency
within the one-year period and provided Licensee has installed all Software
updates provided pursuant to PeopleSoft's Support Services.

7.4     PEOPLESOFT DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT-ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

PEOPLESOFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS,
HOWEVER ARISING, EVEN IF PEOPLESOFT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. EXCLUDING DAMAGES INCURRED BY LICENSEE UNDER THE SECTION ENTITLED,
"INDEMNITY," PEOPLESOFT'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT OR TORT) SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE TO
PEOPLESOFT FOR THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES FROM WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE. THE PARTIES

support for one copy of the Software in accordance with PeopleSoft's

hours set forth in the Schedule. Licensee must use this installation support
within six months from the Schedule Effective Date. Any additional installation
support requested by Licensee shall be provided at PeopleSoft's then-current
Professional Services hourly rate. Licensee shall reimburse PeopleSoft for all
reasonable travel and living expenses associated with any installation support.

11.     TRAINING

PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with the number of training units set forth in
the Schedule for use at a PeopleSoft training facility. Licensee may use

agree in writing. Licensee must use these training units within one year from
the Schedule Effective Date.

12.     NOTICES

All notices shall be made in advance, in writing, and sent by registered mail,

addresses above ("NOTICE"). Notice to PeopleSoft shall be sent "Attn: PeopleSoft

13.     ASSIGNMENT

Licensee may not assign this Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise) or
sublicense the Software without the prior written consent of PeopleSoft, and any
prohibited assignment or sublicense shall be null and void.

14.     NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATION

14.1    Each party ("RECIPIENT") shall protect the other party's ("DISCLOSER")
Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care and
confidentiality, but not less than a reasonable standard of care, that Recipient
uses for its own Confidential Information. Licensee may provide Software access
and use to third parties that: (1) need to use and access the Software to
provide services to Licensee for its

                                       30



<PAGE>   30
Software use; and (2) have agreed to Licensee's non-disclosure obligations
substantially similar to those contained in these sections.

14.2    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and its terms, conditions
and pricing are confidential and shall not be disclosed orally or in writing by
Licensee to any third party without PeopleSoft's prior written consent. If
Licensee is a government entity subject to disclosure obligations under a public
records statute or similar regulation, Licensee agrees that the terms,
conditions, and pricing under this Agreement shall be disclosed only pursuant to
requests made in accordance with such statute or regulation, and that any other
information marked "confidential" under this Agreement, including the Software,
shall be treated as confidential, trade secret, and commercially sensitive, and
shall not be disclosed without affording PeopleSoft a full opportunity to
establish such information's exemption from disclosure.

14.3    Recipient has no confidentiality obligation with respect to information
it establishes by legally sufficient evidence: (1) was in the possession of, or
was rightfully known by Recipient without a confidentiality obligation prior to
receipt from Discloser; (2) is or becomes generally known to the public without
this Agreement's violation; (3) is obtained by Recipient in good faith from a
third party having the right to disclose it without a confidentiality
obligation; (4) is independently developed by Recipient without the
participation of individuals who have had access to the Confidential
Information; or (5) is required to be disclosed by court order or applicable
law, provided Recipient (a) ensures a proper request has been made in accordance
with the relevant statute and promptly notifies Discloser, (b) diligently
undertakes to limit disclosure providing Discloser a full opportunity to
establish such information as exempt from any disclosure obligation.

15.     GENERAL

Section headings are provided for convenience and do not affect this Agreement's
construction. No purchase order or other ordering document that purports to
modify or supplement this Agreement's printed text or a Schedule shall add to or
vary this Agreement's terms. All such proposed variations or additions are
objected to and deemed material unless agreed to in writing. Except for
Licensee's obligation to pay PeopleSoft, neither party shall be liable for any
failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Sections 3 (Fees
and Payment), 4 (Title and Protection), 5 (Indemnity), 8 (Limitation of
Liability), 14 (Nondisclosure Obligation), 15 (General), and 16 (Definitions),
shall survive this Agreement's termination. This Agreement shall be construed
without any provision held to be unenforceable. A party's failure to exercise
any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of that right or any other
right in the future. Except for actions for non-payment or breach of
PeopleSoft's proprietary rights in the Software, no action, regardless of form,
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
Licensee's Software use no more frequently than once annually at PeopleSoft's
expense. All audits shall be conducted during regular business hours at
Licensee's site and shall not unreasonably interfere with Licensee's business
activities. PeopleSoft shall schedule any such audits at least fifteen days in
advance. This Agreement and the Schedule(s) constitute the entire agreement
between the parties concerning Licensee's Software use. This Agreement replaces
and supersedes any prior verbal or written understandings, communications, and
representations between the parties. This Agreement may be amended only by a
written document executed by each party's duly authorized representative. Copies
under this Agreement shall be considered original documents. Les parties ont
convenu a ce que ce Contrat soit redige en anglais. (The parties have agreed
that this Agreement be written in English.) This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of California, without regard to its choice of law rules.
Venue shall be in San Francisco, California.
