that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement have been
satisfied, Selco hereby acknowledges that except for the matters set forth in
Section 7, the assignment of the Financing Documents and the related collateral,
rights and interests to PeopleSoft does not require the consent of Selco under

acknowledgement is a one time acknowledgement relating solely to the assignment
of the Financing Documents to PeopleSoft and shall not extend to any other
assignment of the Financing Documents. Selco, JDE LLC and PeopleSoft further
agree and acknowledge that all references in the Financing Documents to J.D.
Edwards or JDE LLC, or other terms used therein which refer to J.D. Edwards or
