Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") permits
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities
and expenses incurred in proceedings if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of derivative actions,
indemnification is limited to expenses and no indemnification may be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation unless indemnification is otherwise authorized
by a court. In the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual must either
have had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was lawful or had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The Delaware Law provides that the
statutory indemnification is not exclusive of rights to indemnification provided
in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or through resolutions of a
corporation's board of directors or shareholders.

     The Certificate of Incorporation of Marcam Solutions provides that each
person who is involved in any actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service to the full extent permitted by
Delaware Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of
any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted
prior to such amendment) or by other applicable laws then in effect. The
indemnification rights offered by the Certificate of Incorporation of Marcam
Solutions are not exclusive of any other right to which a person seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any law, by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Marcam Solutions intends
to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers
providing indemnification to the full extent permitted by Delaware Law. Marcam
Solutions is authorized to purchase and maintain (and Marcam Solutions intends
to maintain) insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and
agents.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
          the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
          post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
          increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
          dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
          registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the
          estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
          prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
          the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
          registration statement.

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
          any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

<PAGE>

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering.

     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
