Section 5
COMPENSATION
Amounts and modes of payment for all services to be performed and Deliverables
shall be set forth in each Work Statement. The parties shall agree to use one
of the following modes of payment:
5.1 Fixed Price. If Developer quotes a price for particular services or
Deliverables and such price is specified without qualification in the
applicable Work Statement, the amount quoted shall be deemed a fixed price
("Fixed Price"). Unless the Work Statement provides for progress payments or
deferral of payment after completion, Sponsor shall pay the full amount of the
Fixed Price upon Developer's satisfactory completion of the specified services
or upon Sponsor's acceptance of particular Deliverables. A Work Statement may
alternatively provide for payment to be based on a Fixed Price for certain
services to be rendered over a specified period of time. Unless otherwise
specified in the Work Statement, such payment for periodic services shall
accrue on a monthly basis and be prorated for any partial periods.
5.2 Time and Materials. For services and Deliverables that are not suitable
for payment on the basis of a Fixed Price, the Work Statement may provide for
payment on the basis of time and materials ("Time and Materials"). Payment
under this method shall be determined according to the hourly rates set for
Developer's employees by skill level in the Statement of Rates set forth on an
Attachment to the Work Statement. The Statement of Rates differentiates the
employees of Developer assigned to Work Statements issued hereunder according
to their skill level as a "designer architect," "software engineer,"
"programmer," "programmer trainee," "administrative support clerk," or
"technical writer."
5.3 Time and Materials Subject to Fixed Ceiling. For certain Work Statements,
Time and Materials charges pursuant to the Statement of Rates may be authorized
subject to a maximum aggregate amount, designated as the "level of effort"
expected or imposed for particular services or Deliverables. Developer shall
use all reasonable effort to complete the specified services and/or
Deliverables for no more than such aggregate amount. Further, should Developer
determine at any time that it might be necessary to exceed such aggregate
amount; Developer shall immediately notify Sponsor in writing. In such notice,
Developer shall set forth Developer's best estimate of the cost to complete the
pertinent services and/or Deliverables.
<PAGE>89
Following receipt of such notice, Sponsor shall either instruct Developer to
halt work with respect to such services and/or Deliverables, to continue on a
Time and Material basis, or to suspend work pending further negotiation of a
Fixed Price for completion.
5.4 Sales Royalty. At the election of the parties, the Work Statement may
provide for payment based upon a certain percentage of sales ("Sales Royalty")
wherein Sponsor agrees to pay to Developer a percent of the Net Factory Sales
Price on all Sales or other disposition of the Deliverables per the work
statement.
5.5 Statement of Rates. The hourly rates prescribed by the Statement of Rates
shall be in lieu of compensation or reimbursement for any costs or burden
incurred by Developer, including (without limitation) occupancy, supplies,
utilities, payroll, management, and overhead. Rates quoted by Developer in its
Statement of Rates are subject to change upon 30 days' advance notice, provided
that any such change shall have no effect upon rates or charges for work
already rendered or scheduled to be rendered within Thirty- (30) days of the
issuance of such notice.
Section 6
INVOICING
Developer shall submit invoices to Sponsor for payment for work and/or
Deliverables at such time or times as payment becomes due under each Work
Statement. Invoices shall be due within 15 days of receipt, shall be addressed
to Sponsor's Contract Coordinator, and shall be submitted no more frequently
than monthly for charges due or accruing in each calendar month. All invoices
shall specifically refer to the Work Statement to which they relate. An
Administrative charge of 5% of the invoice shall be charged if not paid within
10 days.
Section 7
EXPENSES
Except as expressly agreed otherwise by Sponsor in a Work Statement, Developer
shall bear all of its own expenses arising from its performance of its
obligations under this Agreement and each Work Statement issued hereunder,
including (without limitation) expenses for facilities, work spaces, utilities,
management, clerical and reproduction services, supplies, and the like.
Section 8
SITE VISITS
Developer shall, from time to time and upon reasonable notice, allow access to
its premises during normal business hours by Sponsor for purposes of design
review, "walkthroughs," and discussions between Sponsor and Developer's
management concerning the status and conduct of work being performed under any
Work Statements issued hereunder; provided, however, all information to which
Sponsor is permitted access to shall be deemed Confidential Information and
treated as such in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this
Agreement.
Section 9
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
Developer shall deliver all Deliverables, upon completion, to Sponsor's
Technical Coordinator for testing and acceptance. Developer shall memorialize
such delivery in a Delivery Confirmation that sets forth the nature and
<PAGE>90
condition of the Deliverables, the medium of delivery, and the date of their
delivery. Sponsor's Contract Coordinator shall countersign such Delivery
Confirmation so as to indicate its receipt of the contents described therein,
and the Delivery Confirmation shall thereupon be transmitted to the parties'
Contract Coordinators. Unless a different procedure for testing and acceptance
is set forth in a Work Statement, Sponsor's Technical Coordinator shall
commence acceptance testing following its receipt of the Deliverables. Upon
completion of such testing, Sponsor shall issue to Developer's Technical
Coordinator within the time indicated in the Work Statement for acceptance, a
notice of acceptance or rejection of the Deliverables. In the event of
rejection, Sponsor shall give its reasons for rejection to Developer's
Technical Coordinator in reasonable detail. Developer shall use all reasonable
effort to correct any deficiencies or nonconformity's and resubmit the rejected
items as promptly as possible.

shall designate such information as Confidential Information upon or prior to
disclosure. All materials containing confidential information must have a

specifications of the Deliverables shall in all instances be treated as
confidential. With respect to any Confidential Information of Sponsor delivered

Information disclosed during the period that begins on the Effective Date
