[PeopleSoft Letterhead]
December ___ , 1998
Dear Stockholder:
I am pleased to send you the attached prospectus concerning Momentum
Business Applications, Inc. ("Momentum") and notify you of the special
distribution of shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock (the "Distribution") to
the holders of Common Stock of PeopleSoft, Inc. ("PeopleSoft"). Each holder of
PeopleSoft Common Stock at the close of business on December __, 1998 (the
record date for the Distribution) will receive one share of Momentum Class A
Common Stock for each 50 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock then held.
The Distribution is expected to occur on or about December ___, 1998.
The shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock will be held in "book-entry" form,
although stock certificates are available upon request. Boston EquiServe, L.P.,
is acting as distribution agent and will be responsible for making book-entry
credits to holders of record on the record date and for mailing stock
certificates to Momentum stockholders upon request. The Momentum Class A Common
Stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "MMTM."
PeopleSoft formed Momentum to select and develop certain software
application products, and to commercialize such products, most likely through
licensing to PeopleSoft. In exchange for all of the shares of Momentum Common
Stock outstanding prior to the Distribution, PeopleSoft will contribute $300
million to Momentum to be used for the development of these software application
products. PeopleSoft, as the sole holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock
following the Distribution, will have the option to repurchase all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock under
specified conditions. In addition, in exchange for technology licenses granted
by PeopleSoft to Momentum and a commitment by PeopleSoft to make specified
payments on sales of certain products, PeopleSoft will have an exclusive option
to license any products and technology developed by Momentum.
Momentum's software application development activities will take place
under a development and license agreement with PeopleSoft. It is anticipated
that substantially all of Momentum's funds will be directed toward developing
the following software application products: (i) electronic business
("e-business") applications; (ii) analytic applications; and (iii) software
applications designed for specific industry segments.
The goal of providing e-business applications, analytic applications and
industry-specific software applications for a number of different industries
involves an ambitious product development effort that requires market specific
domain expertise significantly different from PeopleSoft's existing skill base.
PeopleSoft believes that it should form Momentum to pursue this opportunity
because of time to market considerations and the unique skills and technologies
needed to develop these new software application products.
By creating Momentum and distributing the Momentum Class A Common Stock
to PeopleSoft stockholders, PeopleSoft will separate the risks associated with
developing these new software application products from the risks associated
with PeopleSoft's traditional cross-industry enterprise resource planning
applications. Thus, the transaction will provide an opportunity for PeopleSoft's
stockholders to increase or decrease their level of participation in this new
business by varying their level of investment in Momentum following the
Distribution.
<PAGE> 4
We are very enthusiastic about this opportunity for Momentum to develop
new software application products for commercialization by PeopleSoft.
The attached prospectus contains important information about the
Distribution and about the proposed business of Momentum. I encourage you to
read it carefully. Holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock on the record date for the
Distribution are not required to take any action to participate in the
Distribution. However, the distribution will be taxable to you as a dividend.
Please read the information set forth under the caption "Certain Federal Income
Tax Considerations" in the attached prospectus and consult your tax advisor with
respect to the income tax consequences of the Distribution to you.
Sincerely,
David A. Duffield
President and Chief Executive Officer

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that
is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the
entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and financial
statements. Certain words that are capitalized in this summary are defined in
the Glossary following this summary.
WHY THIS PROSPECTUS WAS SENT TO YOU
This prospectus is being delivered by PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("PeopleSoft"), to you because you were a holder of PeopleSoft
Common Stock on December __, 1998. This entitles you to receive a distribution
of one share of the Class A Common Stock of a new company, Momentum Business
Applications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Momentum"), for each 50 shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock held by you on December __, 1998. Although no action is
required on your part to cause this to happen and you do not have to pay cash or
other consideration to receive these shares, the distribution of these shares to
you will be taxable as a dividend, so please read carefully the information in
this prospectus regarding the tax consequences of this transaction.
This prospectus describes the business of Momentum, the relationship
between PeopleSoft and Momentum, how this transaction benefits PeopleSoft and
its stockholders and provides other information to assist you in evaluating the
benefits and risks of holding or disposing of your shares of Momentum Class A
Common Stock. The Momentum Class A Common Stock has been approved for quotation
on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MMTM."
BUSINESS OF MOMENTUM
PeopleSoft is a leader in the development, marketing, licensing and
support of enterprise client/server business administration software application
solutions. PeopleSoft recently formed Momentum to develop and commercialize new
software products and technology.
Momentum plans to develop products and technology based on product plans
developed in conjunction with PeopleSoft. Momentum currently expects that these
products will include:
1. Electronic business ("e-business") applications that will be
intuitive, user-focused solutions that enable people to conduct a
broad range of business processes and commercial transactions
over the Internet or a customer's intranet. These e-business
applications will include a new extended-enterprise class of
applications that integrate content from a customer's intranet,
third party information and service providers and PeopleSoft's
traditional cross-industry enterprise resource planning ("ERP")
applications.
2. Analytic applications that will utilize information captured by
enterprise on-line transaction processing ("OLTP") applications
and other information sources to facilitate business decisions.
3. Software applications designed for specific industries -- such as
utilities, professional services, financial services, retailing
and health care -- that will provide information processing
capabilities for business functions required in those industries.
These industry-specific applications are expected to use
PeopleSoft's rapid application development
-3-
<PAGE> 9
environment and architecture, known as PeopleTools(R), and
complement PeopleSoft's existing cross-industry ERP applications
in the areas of financial management, human resource management
and supply chain management.
Momentum anticipates that it will have limited staff and facilities. As
a result, Momentum will engage PeopleSoft and/or other firms to perform
substantially all of the research and development activities necessary to
develop its products. These products will be owned by Momentum, which will then
license, sell or grant distribution rights to these products to PeopleSoft
and/or others. Momentum may also acquire or invest in complementary companies,
products, or technologies or enter into joint ventures or strategic alliances
with other companies as a part of its overall strategy to accelerate or enhance
product development. In addition, PeopleSoft will perform a variety of
administrative activities for Momentum under a separate services arrangement.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLESOFT AND MOMENTUM
FORMATION AND FUNDING
Prior to the distribution of the Momentum Class A Common Stock to the
PeopleSoft stockholders (the "Distribution"), PeopleSoft will contribute $300
million in cash to Momentum to fund product development and operating expenses.
This payment will reduce the total amount of cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term and long-term investments on PeopleSoft's balance sheet by $300
million. Upon completion of the Distribution, Momentum will cease to be a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PeopleSoft, and PeopleSoft's stockholders' equity
will be reduced by $300 million. Momentum will have no assets other than the
$300 million initially contributed by PeopleSoft and the contract rights
described below. PeopleSoft does not currently intend to provide any additional
funding to Momentum. However, PeopleSoft has a right of first refusal, but not
an obligation, to provide additional funding to Momentum.
STOCK OWNERSHIP AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Class A and Class B Common Stock. Momentum has two classes of Common
Stock, Class A Common Stock (which is subject to PeopleSoft's Purchase Option
described below) and Class B Common Stock. PeopleSoft owns all of the authorized
shares of the Momentum Class B Common Stock. Under Momentum's Certificate of
Incorporation, Momentum will be prohibited from taking or permitting any action
that would alter PeopleSoft's rights under the Purchase Option. Momentum may
not, without the consent of PeopleSoft as the sole holder of the Momentum Class
B Common Stock, merge, liquidate, transfer or encumber any substantial assets,
or amend its Certificate of Incorporation to change any of the following:
o the PeopleSoft Purchase Option;
o the authorized capitalization of Momentum; or
o the portions of Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation
governing the Board of Directors.
Board of Directors. Momentum's Board of Directors will consist of four
directors, one selected by the holders of the Momentum Class B Common Stock and
three selected by the holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. The
representative of the Momentum Class B Common Stock will serve a one-year term.
The representatives of the Momentum Class A Common Stock will serve staggered
-4-
<PAGE> 10
three-year terms. Momentum currently has one director, Aneel Bhusri, an officer
of PeopleSoft and the interim President of Momentum, who will be the
representative of the Momentum Class B Common Stock. Momentum expects that prior
to the Distribution, Mr. Bhusri will appoint an individual who is unaffiliated
with PeopleSoft and has experience in the software industry to replace Mr.
Bhusri as President of Momentum. The new President will be one of the three
directors who represents the holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. The
new President will propose two additional persons unaffiliated with PeopleSoft
and with experience in the software industry, finance or accounting to fill the
remaining vacancies on the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, the holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock will select one
director to serve a three-year term, and the holders of the Momentum Class B
Common Stock will select one director to serve a one-year term.
PURCHASE OPTION
Under Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation, PeopleSoft has the right
to purchase all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Momentum Class A
Common Stock (the "Purchase Option") at any time prior to December 31, 2002.
This deadline will be extended for successive six month periods if, as of any
June 30 or December 31 date beginning with June 30, 2002, Momentum has not paid
or accrued expenses for all but $15 million of the Available Funds as of such
date. The Purchase Option will terminate on the 60th day after Momentum provides
PeopleSoft with a statement that, as of the end of any calendar month, there are
less than $2.5 million of the Available Funds remaining.
If PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase Option, the exercise price (the
"Purchase Option Exercise Price") will be the greatest of:
1. 15 times the sum of (i) the actual worldwide payments made by or
due from PeopleSoft to Momentum with respect to all Licensed
Products and Developed Technology for the four calendar quarters
immediately preceding the quarter in which the Purchase Option
is exercised (the "Base Period"); plus (ii) such payments as
would have been made during the Base Period by, or due from,
PeopleSoft to Momentum if PeopleSoft had not previously
exercised its Product Payment Buy-Out Option with respect to any
Momentum Product (for purposes of the calculations in (i) and
(ii), payments will be annualized for any product that has not
been a Licensed Product for all of each of the four calendar
quarters in the Base Period);
minus
any amounts previously paid by PeopleSoft to exercise any
Product Payment Buy-Out Option for such Momentum Product;
2. the fair market value of 720,000 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock (adjusted in the event of a stock split) as of the date
the Purchase Option is exercised;
3. $350,000,000 plus any additional funds contributed to Momentum
by PeopleSoft, less the aggregate of all amounts paid or
incurred by Momentum to develop Momentum Products or pursuant to
the Services Agreement as of the date the Purchase Option is
exercised; or
4. $90,000,000.
-5-
<PAGE> 11
In each case, the amount payable as the Purchase Option Exercise Price
will be reduced to the extent, if any, that Momentum's liabilities at the time
of exercise (other than liabilities under the Development Agreement, the
Services Agreement and the Marketing Agreement) exceed Momentum's cash and cash
equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments (excluding any Available
Funds). PeopleSoft may pay the Purchase Option Exercise Price in cash, in
PeopleSoft Common Stock or in any combination of the two. Any PeopleSoft Common
Stock issued to holders of Momentum Class A Common Stock in connection with the
exercise of the Purchase Option will be freely tradeable upon receipt. The per
share purchase price of the Momentum Class A Common Stock will be reduced if
Momentum issues additional Momentum Class A Common Stock after the date of this
prospectus and prior to the date that PeopleSoft exercises the Purchase Option.
CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS
PeopleSoft and Momentum have entered into a series of agreements -- a
Development and License Agreement (the "Development Agreement"), a Marketing and
Distribution Agreement (the "Marketing Agreement") and a Services Agreement (the
"Services Agreement") -- that set forth:
o the permitted uses of the Available Funds;
o Momentum's rights to use certain technology of PeopleSoft;
o the development work and other services to be performed by
PeopleSoft; and
o PeopleSoft's rights with respect to the products to be developed
by Momentum.
The following summary sets forth the principal terms and conditions of
the Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement.
Please refer to the actual agreements for a more complete description of the
rights and obligations of the parties under these agreements.
Development Agreement. Under the terms of the Development Agreement,
PeopleSoft will propose to Momentum that Momentum develop certain software
products and related technologies. If Momentum agrees to develop a product, then
Momentum and PeopleSoft will agree on a timetable, budget and specifications for
the product. PeopleSoft has granted Momentum a license to some of its
technology, including its PeopleTools(R) technology, for the purpose of
developing products under the Development Agreement. Products developed under
the Development Agreement are referred to in this prospectus as "Momentum
Products." Momentum may use the Available Funds only to develop or acquire
Momentum Products and related technologies and for related administrative
expenses.
Momentum may develop or acquire third party software toolsets
("Developed Technology") for the purpose of developing Momentum Products.
Momentum will grant PeopleSoft a license with respect to the Developed
Technology in exchange for PeopleSoft's agreement to pay Momentum a 1% royalty
on PeopleSoft's net revenues from sales of any products PeopleSoft develops
using the Developed Technology for a period of 10 years.
Momentum plans to undertake the research and development required by the
Development Agreement by contracting with third parties because it will have
limited staffing and facilities. Momentum currently expects that it will
contract with PeopleSoft for various research and development and other
services, but PeopleSoft is not obligated to provide Momentum with any such
services. Momentum will
-6-
<PAGE> 12
pay PeopleSoft 110% of PeopleSoft's fully burdened costs relating to the
research and development provided by PeopleSoft to Momentum.
The Development Agreement automatically expires on the exercise or
expiration of the Purchase Option.
Marketing Agreement. Under the Marketing Agreement, Momentum has granted
PeopleSoft certain distribution and licensing rights with respect to the
Momentum Products. Prior to a Momentum Product becoming Generally Available,
PeopleSoft has an exclusive license to market and distribute the Momentum
Product. PeopleSoft will pay Momentum a 6% royalty on any such sales.
PeopleSoft's exclusive license with respect to a Momentum Product expires upon
the earlier of (i) the exercise or expiration of the License Option with respect
to that Momentum Product or (ii) the expiration of the Purchase Option.
PeopleSoft has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly conduct
marketing with respect to each Momentum Product prior to such product becoming
Generally Available.
In addition, PeopleSoft has an option (the "License Option") to obtain a
perpetual, exclusive license to market, distribute, sublicense, support and
enhance any Momentum Product. PeopleSoft may exercise this right at any time
prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Momentum Product becomes Generally
Available or (ii) the expiration of the Purchase Option. Upon exercise of the
License Option with respect to a Momentum Product, PeopleSoft will be
responsible for any further development and support of that product. PeopleSoft
will then pay Momentum a royalty on Net Revenues of the Momentum Product based
on a formula contained in the Development Agreement for a period of 10 years.
PeopleSoft may eliminate this continuing royalty obligation by paying Momentum a
lump sum in accordance with a formula specified in the Development Agreement.
If PeopleSoft does not exercise its License Option with respect to a
particular Momentum Product, Momentum may commercialize the product itself or
with the assistance of parties other than designated competitors of PeopleSoft.
Services Agreement. Under the Services Agreement, PeopleSoft will
provide Momentum, for a fee, certain services relating to administration,
including accounting, finance, human resources and legal services.
REASONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION
PeopleSoft and Momentum believe that an attractive business opportunity
exists to develop e-business applications, analytic applications and
industry-specific software applications. However, PeopleSoft is not in a
position to capture this opportunity because PeopleSoft does not presently have
the required expertise to develop such applications. PeopleSoft believes that
the formation of Momentum will benefit PeopleSoft stockholders by:
o separating this new business, with its own unique market
opportunity and risk/reward profile, from PeopleSoft's
traditional cross-industry ERP applications;
o enabling PeopleSoft stockholders to increase or decrease their
level of participation in this new business by varying their
level of investment in Momentum (by selling or acquiring
Momentum shares in the open market); and
-7-
<PAGE> 13
o allowing PeopleSoft's financial results to continue to reflect
principally its traditional cross-industry ERP applications
business and previously existing industry initiatives.
THE DISTRIBUTION
Each PeopleSoft stockholder will receive one share of Momentum Class A
Common Stock for every 50 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock held. As of October
31, 1998, PeopleSoft had 233,017,263 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Record Date, Distribution Date. The record date for the Distribution
will be the close of business on December __, 1998. The Distribution is expected
to take place on or about December __, 1998, subject to certain conditions.
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Momentum Class A Common
Stock will be distributed. Fractional shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock
will be aggregated and sold by Momentum's transfer agent and distribution agent
for the Distribution, Boston EquiServe, L.P., to provide cash to holders in lieu
of such fractional shares.
Trading Market. The Momentum Class A Common Stock has been approved for
quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MMTM."
All Shares Subject to Purchase Option. All shares of the Momentum Class
A Common Stock will be subject to the Purchase Option. PeopleSoft will decide
whether to exercise the Purchase Option based on the prevailing circumstances at
the time consideration is given to its exercise. Such circumstances include the
extent to which Momentum is successful in developing Momentum Products, the
level of market acceptance such products initially achieve (as indicated by
initial licensing activities under PeopleSoft's License Option), and whether the
Momentum Products will fit PeopleSoft's business strategies at the time of such
exercise evaluation.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
It is expected that the Distribution will be taxable to each PeopleSoft
stockholder in the amount of the fair market value of the Momentum Class A
Common Stock distributed to such PeopleSoft stockholder. In early 1999, each
recipient of distributed Momentum Class A Common Stock will receive an IRS Form
1099-DIV reflecting the fair market value of the Momentum Class A Common Stock
distributed. The recipient's initial basis (for income tax purposes) in the
distributed Momentum Class A Common Stock will be the fair market value of such
shares at the time of the Distribution.
Upon the sale or other disposition of the Momentum Class A Common Stock,
including the exercise by PeopleSoft of the Purchase Option, a holder of the
Momentum Class A Common Stock will have a taxable gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the consideration received from PeopleSoft in
such exercise and such holder's basis in the Momentum Class A Common Stock,
unless PeopleSoft were to exercise the Purchase Option solely for shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock and certain other conditions were satisfied, in which
case receipt of the PeopleSoft Common Stock may be tax-free to the holder under
current federal income tax laws.

The Distribution, any subsequent sale of Momentum Class A Common Stock,
and the exercise or expiration of the Purchase Option may have other federal
income tax consequences to holders. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Considerations."
Each PeopleSoft stockholder is urged to consult their own tax advisors
with respect to the tax consequences of this transaction.
RISK FACTORS
Ownership of the Momentum Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of
investment risk. The risk factors below should be considered carefully in
evaluating the ownership of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. See "Risk
Factors."
o Momentum is a newly formed company.
o Momentum and PeopleSoft may not be successful in selecting and
developing any Momentum Products.
o Momentum may not be able to access developers with the domain
expertise necessary to develop the Momentum Products.
o Momentum and PeopleSoft may not successfully commercialize any
Momentum Products.
o Momentum may not have sufficient funds to complete the
development of any or all of the Momentum Products.
o The Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the
Services Agreement between PeopleSoft and Momentum and
PeopleSoft's rights as holder of the Momentum Class B Common
Stock may restrain Momentum from taking certain actions,
including actions with third parties, and may impair the ability
of Momentum to raise additional capital.
o PeopleSoft may not exercise the License Option for any Momentum
Products or exercise the Purchase Option to acquire all of the
outstanding Momentum Class A Common Stock.
o There may be conflicts of interest between PeopleSoft and
Momentum, including competition from PeopleSoft.
o PeopleSoft can allocate its resources as it deems appropriate
and is not obligated to accept any development projects proposed
by Momentum.
o The terms of the Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement
and the Services Agreement between PeopleSoft and Momentum were
not negotiated at arm's length.
o Because Momentum Products will be based on PeopleSoft's
technology and designed to interface and be compatible with
PeopleSoft's products, Momentum may not be able to design
products that will be compatible with other technologies.
-9-
<PAGE> 15
o Momentum and PeopleSoft will face competition from others with
greater resources, experience and market presence.
o Momentum may pursue acquisitions of other businesses or
technologies to enhance or accelerate its product development,
which would involve various risks and uncertainties.
o To avoid potential conflicts of interest, the largest
stockholder in Momentum plans to reduce his percentage ownership
in the Momentum Class A Common Stock shortly after the
Distribution from approximately 21% of the outstanding shares to
just below 5% of the outstanding shares through the sale or
other disposition of approximately 16% of the outstanding
shares, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price
of the Momentum Class A Common Stock.
o Momentum cannot license its products to a third party unless or
until PeopleSoft determines not to exercise the License Option
with respect to a given Momentum Product, or the License Option
expires with respect to that Momentum Product.
o Momentum and PeopleSoft may not be successful marketing and
licensing the Momentum Products outside North America without
significant localization efforts.
o Momentum Products may infringe the patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights of others.
o The holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock will not elect
Momentum's initial Board of Directors.
o Because of Momentum's staggered Board of Directors, the holders
of Momentum Class A Common Stock will be able to elect only one
director at each annual meeting.
o There has not been a trading market for the Momentum Class A
Common Stock prior to the Distribution and the trading market
for, and the trading price of, the Momentum Class A Common Stock
after the Distribution cannot be predicted.
o Momentum has included certain anti-takeover provisions in its
Certificate of Incorporation that could make it more difficult
for a third party to gain control of Momentum, which could have
an adverse effect on the trading price of the Momentum Class A
Common Stock.
o Momentum may be adversely affected if entities which provide
services to it or to PeopleSoft are not Year 2000 compliant.

MOMENTUM RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below when evaluating
your ownership of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones Momentum faces. Additional risks and
uncertainties Momentum is presently not aware of or that it currently considers
immaterial may also impair Momentum's business operations.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, Momentum's business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of the Momentum Class A Common Stock
could decline significantly.
This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements. These
statements include words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate" or similar words. These statements are based on
Momentum's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Momentum's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements due to certain factors, including the risks described below and
elsewhere in this prospectus. Momentum undertakes no obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORMING A NEW COMPANY
Momentum is a newly formed company. It faces all of the risks associated
with establishing a new business enterprise in the software industry. Momentum
will incur substantial losses for several years as it develops its products.
Momentum will be able to recover such losses only if its development efforts are
successful.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCT SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Momentum has entered into the Development Agreement with PeopleSoft that
requires Momentum to use all the Available Funds in connection with the research
and development of products that PeopleSoft proposes and Momentum approves.
These products may not be the appropriate products for development. To date,
PeopleSoft has relied upon third parties to develop industry-specific software
and has obtained these products through licensing arrangements or acquisitions.
PeopleSoft, therefore, does not have substantial experience in developing
industry-specific products. In addition, neither PeopleSoft nor Momentum have
significant familiarity with the evolving markets of e-business and analytic
application products. Such inexperience and unfamiliarity may cause PeopleSoft
and Momentum to choose inappropriate products for development.
Even if PeopleSoft and Momentum choose appropriate products for
development, Momentum may not be able to successfully develop such products.
Developing any of these products involves a number of risks and uncertainties,
including:
o it may be difficult to assemble a workforce with sufficient
domain expertise;
o evolving customer demands for product functionality may require
greater resources than originally anticipated;
-13-
<PAGE> 19
o Momentum may need to develop new technologies to address
increased product functionality requirements;
o development efforts may be complex and such complexities may
create a risk that these products will not be technologically
feasible; and
o any products developed may rapidly become obsolete or require
substantial resources to stay current.
Any one or all of these factors may prevent Momentum from successfully
developing any of these software application products.
PeopleSoft has granted Momentum a license to use PeopleSoft Technology
to develop products under the Development Agreement. However, some or all of the
products Momentum may attempt to develop under the Development Agreement may
require new technologies, or enhancements or modifications to existing
PeopleSoft Technology. Momentum may not be able to acquire or develop the
technology necessary to successfully develop its products.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MARKETING MOMENTUM PRODUCTS
PeopleSoft or Momentum may not be able to successfully market any
products developed by Momentum. PeopleSoft may need to develop or expand its
marketing capabilities in order to commercially exploit any products it chooses
to license from Momentum, and PeopleSoft may be unable or unwilling to undertake
such a development or expansion of its marketing capabilities. If PeopleSoft
does not choose to license a product developed under the Development Agreement,
Momentum will have to identify other ways of commercially exploiting that
product as Momentum currently has no marketing capabilities. If Momentum decides
to market a product itself or through a third party, PeopleSoft may not approve
Momentum's use of Available Funds for marketing the product. Additionally,
Momentum may not have sufficient resources to fund any such marketing effort.
Even if acceptable marketing resources are available, the products developed by
Momentum may be unsuccessful in the market.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCING MOMENTUM
Prior to the Distribution, PeopleSoft will contribute $300 million in
cash to Momentum. PeopleSoft does not currently intend to contribute additional
funds to Momentum, although it may do so in the future. Under the Development
Agreement, Momentum must use all the Available Funds in connection with the
research and development of Momentum Products and for related administrative
expenses. Momentum may not have sufficient funds to complete the development of
any such products.
Although Momentum is not prohibited from raising additional capital by
any of the arrangements between Momentum and PeopleSoft, PeopleSoft's Purchase
Option and its rights as the sole holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock
may make it difficult for Momentum to raise additional capital. For example,
PeopleSoft's Purchase Option (and its ability to control certain matters as the
sole holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock) may make it more difficult for
a third party to acquire Momentum even if a change of control could benefit
Momentum's stockholders by providing them with a premium over the then current
market price of their shares. As a result, the market value and liquidity of the
Momentum Class A Common Stock may be adversely affected.
-14-
<PAGE> 20
If the Purchase Option expires unexercised, Momentum may have very
little cash, few assets and an undeterminable number of products under research
and development. Momentum may also have very little internal expertise in
product development or marketing. Under these circumstances, third parties might
be reluctant to lend money to or to invest in Momentum.
NO ASSURANCE OF EXERCISE OF PEOPLESOFT'S LICENSE OPTION OR PURCHASE OPTION
PeopleSoft is not obligated to exercise its License Option with respect
to any Momentum Product. If PeopleSoft elects not to exercise its License Option
with respect to a product, Momentum may be required to find alternative ways to
commercialize the product. Momentum may not be able to establish alternative
channels to commercialize its products. In addition, the Marketing Agreement
prevents Momentum from commercializing any products containing PeopleSoft
Technology through designated competitors of PeopleSoft.
PeopleSoft has sole discretion as to when, if ever, it exercises the
Purchase Option, and may choose to do so at a time when the purchase price is as
low as possible. If PeopleSoft does not exercise the Purchase Option, the
Development Agreement will expire and Momentum may need to seek alternative
research and development facilities, either independently or with a third party.
Momentum may not be able to obtain access to adequate research and development
facilities on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH PEOPLESOFT
DEPENDENCE ON PEOPLESOFT FOR PERSONNEL AND FACILITIES. Momentum expects
that it will engage PeopleSoft to perform substantially all of the research and
development required under the Development Agreement. Momentum believes that
PeopleSoft's current and planned personnel and facilities will be adequate for
PeopleSoft to perform such work. However, PeopleSoft is not obligated to perform
any research and development for Momentum. In the event PeopleSoft agrees to
undertake any research and development projects for Momentum, PeopleSoft will be
able to allocate its personnel and facilities among its own or Momentum's
projects as it deems appropriate, subject only to its obligation to use diligent
efforts under the Development Agreement.
DEPENDENCE ON PEOPLESOFT TECHNOLOGY. Momentum expects that all of the
products it develops will to some extent incorporate PeopleSoft Technology.
PeopleSoft has licensed such technology to Momentum. However, if Momentum wants
to engage a party other than PeopleSoft to conduct research and development on
its behalf, Momentum must obtain PeopleSoft's consent before that party may use
the PeopleSoft Technology. In addition, Momentum believes that enhanced
functionality will need to be added to PeopleTools(R) in order for Momentum to
develop certain of its products. If PeopleSoft chooses not to develop those
enhancements itself, Momentum would either have to develop them internally or
pay a third party to do so. Any enhancements to PeopleSoft Technology by
Momentum or any third party will be owned by PeopleSoft.
DEPENDENCE ON PEOPLESOFT FOR MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION PRIOR TO GENERAL
AVAILABILITY. Prior to the commercial release of a product, software companies
typically allow selected users to use, test and comment upon the product. Such
pre-release marketing and distribution is often a critical element in the
development and refinement of a software product. Under the Development
Agreement, PeopleSoft will control the marketing and distribution of all
Momentum Products prior to such products becoming Generally Available. Though
the Development Agreement requires that PeopleSoft use commercially
-15-
<PAGE> 21
reasonable efforts with respect to such marketing and distribution efforts,
Momentum and PeopleSoft may disagree about the timing, breadth and intensity of
such efforts.
PEOPLESOFT'S CONTROL OVER DETERMINATION OF GENERAL AVAILABILITY. Under
the Marketing Agreement, PeopleSoft is responsible for determining when a
Momentum Product is Generally Available. Because PeopleSoft's right to exercise
its License Option with respect to a Momentum Product expires 30 days after the
product becomes Generally Available, PeopleSoft could delay its determination
that the product is Generally Available.
PEOPLESOFT'S CONTROL OVER LICENSED PRODUCTS. If PeopleSoft exercises its
License Option with respect to a Momentum Product, PeopleSoft will receive a
perpetual, worldwide, exclusive license to, among other things, market and
distribute that product. The right to market and distribute the Momentum Product
allows PeopleSoft to control the pricing of the product. PeopleSoft has no
minimum royalty obligation or any express obligation with respect to its
marketing and distribution effort. As a result, PeopleSoft may have substantial
control over the Net Revenues it receives from licensing the Momentum Product,
which may impact the Product Payments made by PeopleSoft to Momentum.
RIGHTS AS HOLDER OF THE MOMENTUM CLASS B COMMON STOCK. PeopleSoft will
own all of the authorized shares of the Momentum Class B Common Stock.
Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation prohibits Momentum from taking or
allowing any action inconsistent with, or that would in any way adversely
affect, PeopleSoft's Purchase Option. Additionally, Momentum will need
PeopleSoft's consent to merge, liquidate, transfer or encumber any substantial
portion of its assets, or amend its Certificate of Incorporation to change any
of the following:
o PeopleSoft's Purchase Option;
o the authorized capitalization of Momentum; or
o the portions of Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation
governing the Board of Directors.
PeopleSoft's ability to control the matters listed above could adversely affect
the trading price and liquidity of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. Also,
PeopleSoft may be able to delay or prevent a change of control of Momentum, even
if such a change of control would be beneficial to Momentum's stockholders. This
could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay for the
Momentum Class A Common Stock in the future. The special rights given to the
holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock will expire on the same date that
the Purchase Option expires.
THE PURCHASE OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The price at which PeopleSoft can
exercise the Purchase Option was determined by PeopleSoft alone and not through
arm's-length negotiations. PeopleSoft considered the following factors in making
its determination of the purchase price:
o how the Momentum Class A Common Stock will be distributed;
o Momentum's planned business;
o the terms of the Development Agreement and the Marketing
Agreement;
o the advice of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
("Merrill Lynch"); and
-16-
<PAGE> 22
o other factors it deemed appropriate.
Until the Purchase Option expires, the market value of the Momentum Class A
Common Stock will be limited by the Purchase Option Exercise Price.
PRODUCT COMPETITION. PeopleSoft may develop and/or market for its own
benefit products that compete directly with products that Momentum develops.
LEGAL REPRESENTATION. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional
Corporation, is legal counsel to both PeopleSoft and Momentum.
MOMENTUM PRODUCTS BASED ON PEOPLESOFT TECHNOLOGY; NO ASSURANCE OF COMPATIBILITY
WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES OR PRODUCTS
Momentum expects that the Momentum Products will be designed and built
to interface and be compatible with PeopleSoft's technology and products. As a
result, Momentum's ability to market the Momentum Products is dependent on
market acceptance of PeopleSoft's technologies, products and installed base of
customers. If Momentum wishes to develop products based on technologies and/or
for products other than PeopleSoft's, Momentum may need to incur substantial
development costs to ensure compatibility with such other technologies and/or
products. Momentum anticipates that PeopleSoft will not approve the use of
Available Funds for this purpose. Even if Momentum is able to fund these
development efforts, Momentum may be unable to develop products that are
compatible with technologies other than PeopleSoft's technology.
COMPETITION
The market for business application software is intensely competitive.
Momentum believes it will face substantial competition from the large,
established providers of enterprise-wide application software as well as from
numerous smaller, more specialized software companies. Other than PeopleSoft,
SAP AG ("SAP"), Oracle Corporation, Baan Company N.V. ("Baan") and J.D. Edwards
& Company are the major providers of enterprise-wide software. Momentum believes
that each of these companies has either launched initiatives or has the
technical, financial, and marketing capability to launch initiatives to develop
products which directly compete with the products Momentum intends to develop.
In addition, numerous well-established companies specialize in e-business
products, analytic applications or particular industry-specific applications.
Almost all of Momentum's competitors have substantially greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than those of Momentum. Furthermore, although
Momentum believes PeopleSoft does not intend to compete with it, PeopleSoft is
free to do so.
Momentum expects that any products developed by it will be
commercialized by other parties, most likely through PeopleSoft. Although
PeopleSoft has substantial market share in the enterprise-wide application
software market, it does not have a significant presence in the markets for
e-business or analytic application products or in any of the markets for which
Momentum intends to develop industry-specific application products. As a result,
PeopleSoft may not be able to compete successfully with the other large
providers of enterprise-wide application software or with the established
specialized software companies in these markets. Additionally, if Momentum
commercializes its products through third parties, such third parties may not
have the financial, technical and marketing resources to compete successfully
with Momentum's competitors.
-17-
<PAGE> 23
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS
As part of its overall strategy to enhance or accelerate its product
development efforts, Momentum may acquire or invest in complementary companies,
products or technologies or enter into joint ventures or strategic alliances
with other companies. Risks commonly encountered in such transactions include
the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the combined
companies, the potential disruption of Momentum's ongoing business, the
inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel, the inability of
management to maximize the financial and strategic position of Momentum through
the successful integration of the acquired business, decreases in reported
earnings as a result of charges for in-process research and development and
amortization of acquired intangible assets, dilution of existing equity holders,
difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies, and the impairment
of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of
new personnel. There can be no assurances that Momentum would be successful in
overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such
business combinations, investments or joint ventures, or that such transactions
will not have an adverse effect on Momentum's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Because of the rights of PeopleSoft set forth in
Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation, Momentum cannot effectively make any
acquisitions without the prior approval of PeopleSoft.
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON MARKET PRICE OF MOMENTUM CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF
DISPOSITION OF SHARES BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER
Immediately following the Distribution, David A. Duffield, the President
and Chief Executive Officer of PeopleSoft, will beneficially own approximately
21% of the outstanding Momentum Class A Common Stock. Because of the potential
for conflicts of interest to arise between PeopleSoft and Momentum as a result
of Mr. Duffield's role as the President and Chief Executive Officer of
PeopleSoft, on one hand, and as the principal stockholder of Momentum, on the
other hand, Mr. Duffield has advised Momentum that he intends to gift, sell or
otherwise dispose of approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of Momentum
Class A Common Stock shortly after the Distribution is completed. The sale of
such a large block of the Momentum Class A Common Stock by Mr. Duffield (or any
of his donees or transferees) could have a material adverse effect on the
trading price of the Momentum Class A Common Stock. Such sales could also make
it more difficult for Momentum to sell equity securities or equity-linked
securities in the future at a time and price that Momentum deems appropriate.
LIMITATION ON LICENSES TO THIRD PARTIES
Momentum has granted PeopleSoft an option to obtain a perpetual,
exclusive license to market, distribute, sublicense, support and enhance any
products that Momentum develops under the Development Agreement. PeopleSoft's
option with respect to a particular product expires 30 days after that product
becomes Generally Available. Until that time, Momentum may not license such
products to any other party. As a result, Momentum may miss opportunities to
license the products it develops to third parties for higher royalty rates than
those PeopleSoft is obligated to pay. In addition, in the event that PeopleSoft
declines to exercise its License Option, the delay in Momentum's ability to
identify and enter into a licensing arrangement with a third party may adversely
affect the terms Momentum is eventually able to obtain from that third party.
-18-
<PAGE> 24
LIMITED INTERNATIONAL CAPABILITY
Products developed by Momentum may have difficulty achieving broad
market penetration outside of North America. In order to commercialize software
application products outside of North America, Momentum or its third party
licensees may need to create localized versions of these products. Neither
Momentum nor its third party licensees may have sufficient resources or funding
to create, market and license localized versions of any of the products
developed by Momentum.
In addition to the uncertainties related to commercializing Momentum's
products outside of North America, there are certain risks inherent in doing
business internationally. These risks include:
o compliance with regulatory requirements and changes in these
requirements;
o tariffs and other trade barriers;
o unfavorable pricing and price competition;
o currency fluctuations;
o longer payment cycles in some countries;
o difficulties in collecting international accounts receivable;
o difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and
intellectual property rights;
o potentially adverse tax consequences;
o increased costs associated with maintaining international
marketing efforts and offices; and
o political instability.
Any one or all of these factors may adversely affect the commercialization of
Momentum's products outside of North America.
POTENTIAL INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; LIMITED
PROTECTION OF MOMENTUM'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The products Momentum intends to develop may incorporate certain
technologies of PeopleSoft and other third parties. While Momentum intends to
obtain from third parties permission to use their technologies, Momentum's
activities could unintentionally infringe the patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights of others. Consequently, third parties may assert
infringement claims against Momentum with respect to its products. Any such
assertion could require Momentum to enter into royalty arrangements or could
result in costly litigation.
Momentum intends to rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret,
and patent laws and employee and third party non-disclosure agreements to
protect its intellectual property rights, including the features and design
aspects of its products. Such measures may not be sufficient to protect its
rights, and
-19-
<PAGE> 25
Momentum's competitors may independently develop technologies that are
substantially equivalent to or superior to Momentum's technology. Momentum may
from time to time become involved in litigation regarding the scope and validity
of its intellectual property rights. Any such litigation, whether or not
successful, could result in substantial costs to Momentum and diversion of
efforts by Momentum's management.
SOME DIRECTORS TO SERVE AFTER THE DISTRIBUTION NOT IDENTIFIED; DIRECTORS NOT
INITIALLY ELECTED BY STOCKHOLDERS
Momentum currently has one director, Aneel Bhusri, an officer of
PeopleSoft and the interim President of Momentum. Momentum expects that prior to
the Distribution, Mr. Bhusri will appoint an individual who is unaffiliated with
PeopleSoft and has experience in the software industry to replace Mr. Bhusri as
the sole officer of Momentum. The new President will then propose two additional
persons unaffiliated with PeopleSoft and with experience in the software
industry, finance or accounting to fill the remaining two vacancies on the Board
of Directors. Holders of Momentum Class A Common Stock will not have elected any
of the initial members of Momentum's Board of Directors. Because the
representatives of the Class A Common Stock serve staggered three-year terms,
the holders of Momentum's Class A Common Stock will be able to vote on only one
representative at each annual meeting of stockholders.
NO PRIOR TRADING MARKET FOR MOMENTUM CLASS A COMMON STOCK; STOCK PRICE MAY BE
VOLATILE
Prior to the Distribution, there has been no public market for the
Momentum Class A Common Stock. The Momentum Class A Common Stock has been
approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market. Momentum does not know
whether investor interest in Momentum will lead to the development of a trading
market or, if a trading market develops, how active that trading market will be.
A number of factors may affect the price and liquidity of the Momentum Class A
Common Stock, including:
o actual or anticipated fluctuations in Momentum's operating
results;
o changes in expectations as to Momentum's future financial
performance or changes in securities analysts' financial
estimates;
o the operating and stock price performance of PeopleSoft;
o the operating and stock price performance of other comparable
companies; and
o changes in investors' estimates of the likelihood, price and
timing of the possible exercise by PeopleSoft of its Purchase
Option.
In addition, the Momentum Class A Common Stock may be followed by few,
if any, market analysts and there may be few institutions acting as market
makers for the Momentum Class A Common Stock. Either of these factors could
adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of the Momentum Class A Common
Stock. Also, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and
volume volatility that has especially affected the market prices of securities
of many high technology companies. At times, this volatility has been unrelated
to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad
-20-
<PAGE> 26
market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of the
Momentum Class A Common Stock, regardless of Momentum's actual operating
performance.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Certain provisions of Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
could make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of Momentum, even
if a change in control might be beneficial to Momentum's stockholders. This
could adversely affect the market price of the Momentum Class A Common Stock.
These provisions include:
o the elimination of the right of stockholders to act by written
consent;
o the elimination of the right of stockholders to call special
meetings of the stockholders;
o the creation of a staggered Board of Directors;
o the ability of the Board of Directors to designate and issue
Preferred Stock without stockholder consent; and
o the ability of PeopleSoft to purchase the Momentum Class A
Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Option.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Momentum expects that substantially all of its research and development
and administrative activities will be performed by PeopleSoft. Momentum believes
that PeopleSoft's internal systems are Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that
Momentum purchases its own internal systems or contracts with other parties for
such services, it expects to be able to find systems and service providers which
are Year 2000 compliant. However, Momentum and PeopleSoft will be relying on a
variety of service providers, including telephone companies, utilities and
network services providers whose Year 2000 compliance is difficult to ascertain.
If any these providers were unable to provide their services to either
PeopleSoft or Momentum, Momentum's business could be adversely affected.

PEOPLESOFT RISK FACTORS
You should also carefully consider the risks described below regarding
PeopleSoft and the PeopleSoft Common Stock when evaluating your ownership of the
Momentum Class A Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones PeopleSoft faces. Additional risks and uncertainties
PeopleSoft is presently not aware of or that it currently considers immaterial
may also impair PeopleSoft's business operations.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, PeopleSoft's business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of the PeopleSoft's Common Stock could
decline significantly.
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein also
contain forward-looking statements. These statements include words such as
"may," "will," "expect," "believe," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate" or
similar words. These statements are based on PeopleSoft's current beliefs,
expectations and assumptions. PeopleSoft's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to
certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this
prospectus. PeopleSoft undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
PeopleSoft's revenues and results of operations are difficult to predict
and may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. License fee revenues in
any quarter depend substantially upon PeopleSoft's total contracting activity
and its ability to recognize revenue in that quarter in accordance with its
revenue recognition policies. PeopleSoft's contracting activity is difficult to
forecast for a variety of reasons, including the following:
o a significant portion of PeopleSoft's license agreements are
completed within the last few weeks of each quarter;
o PeopleSoft's sales cycle is relatively long and increasingly
variable since PeopleSoft has broadened its marketing emphasis
to include software product solutions for each customer's
overall business, thus increasing the financial value of
individual transactions and the complexity of the customer
selection, negotiation and approval process;
o the size of license transactions can vary significantly;
o customers may postpone or cancel system replacement or new
system evaluations due to changes in their strategic priorities,
project objectives, budgetary constraints or company management;
o customer evaluations and procurement processes vary
significantly from company to company, and a customer's internal
approval and expenditure authorization process can be difficult,
even after selection of a vendor; and
o the number, timing and significance of software product
enhancements and new software product announcements by
PeopleSoft and its competitors may affect purchase decisions;
-22-
<PAGE> 28
In addition, each customer's evaluation of their need to achieve Year
2000 compliance may affect their purchase decision. PeopleSoft believes that, to
date, potential customers' evaluations of Year 2000 operability issues have, on
balance, increased demand for PeopleSoft's applications. However, this demand
may weaken as the Year 2000 approaches since potential customers may not have
sufficient time remaining to implement system replacements prior to the Year
2000. Because this problem is unprecedented, PeopleSoft has a limited ability to
forecast accurately the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its quarter-to-quarter
revenues. In addition, changes in PeopleSoft's sales incentive plans have had
and may continue to have an unpredictable impact on seasonal business patterns.
Finally, changes in economic, political and market conditions may adversely
impact PeopleSoft's business opportunities at any time.
Several factors may require PeopleSoft to defer recognition of license
fee revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a license
agreement, including:
o whether the license agreement relates entirely to then currently
undeliverable software products;
o whether enterprise transactions include both software products
that are then currently deliverable and software products that
are still under development (If PeopleSoft enters into a license
agreement to provide both software product categories, then, in
order to recognize revenue on currently delivered products under
the license agreement, it must be able to establish separate
values for all elements under the license agreement, and the
license agreement and supporting schedules must contain precise
contractual provisions consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"));
o whether the customer demands services that include significant
modifications, customizations or complex interfaces;
o whether the license agreement includes non-standard acceptance
criteria that may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer
acceptance; and
o whether the license agreement includes fees with extended
payment terms or fees that depend upon acceptance of services or
other contingencies.
Because of the factors listed above and other specific requirements
under recently published GAAP standards for software revenue recognition,
PeopleSoft must have very precise terms in its license agreements in order to
recognize revenue when it initially delivers software. Although PeopleSoft has a
standard form of license agreement that meets the criteria under GAAP for
current revenue recognition on delivered elements, it must often negotiate and
revise certain terms and conditions in large enterprise transactions.
Negotiation of mutually acceptable terms and conditions can extend the sales
cycle and, sometimes PeopleSoft does not obtain terms and conditions that permit
revenue recognition at the time of delivery or even as work on the project is
completed.
Variances in PeopleSoft's prior quarter contracting activity may impact
its service revenues since service revenues typically lag license fee revenues.
PeopleSoft's ability to increase service revenue (such as fees derived from
consulting, training and maintenance services) primarily depends on its ability
to
-23-
<PAGE> 29
increase the number of its licensing agreements. Additionally, PeopleSoft may
not be able to recruit, hire and train sufficient numbers of qualified
consultants to perform these services.
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY
PeopleSoft licenses numerous critical third-party software products that
it incorporates into its own software products. The termination of any of
PeopleSoft's licenses to this third-party software could have a material adverse
effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations.
These adverse effects include, for example, its products becoming inoperable or
their performance being materially reduced. If any of the third-party software
vendors change their product offerings, PeopleSoft may need to incur additional
development costs to ensure continued performance of its products. In addition,
if the cost of licensing any of these third-party software products materially
increases, PeopleSoft's gross margin levels could materially decrease.
PeopleSoft relies on existing partnerships with certain other software
vendors who are also competitors. For example, PeopleSoft partners with Oracle
Corporation ("Oracle") when PeopleSoft customers select an Oracle database to
run in conjunction with PeopleSoft's financial package. However, Oracle competes
with PeopleSoft in the financial data management area. If these
partners/competitors change their business practices in the future, PeopleSoft
may be compelled to find alternative vendors of complementary software, which
may not be as popular or provide the same functionality as the software provided
by PeopleSoft's existing partners/competitors.
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH CREATION OF MOMENTUM
PeopleSoft faces a number of risks in connection with the creation of
Momentum and the distribution of the Momentum Class A Common Stock to PeopleSoft
stockholders. These include:
o PeopleSoft will have less control over important research and
development projects. Though PeopleSoft and Momentum will agree
on budgets, timetables and specifications for each project,
Momentum will be responsible for overseeing the actual product
development.
o PeopleSoft will be contributing a substantially portion of its
cash reserves to Momentum. As a result, PeopleSoft's credit
rating may be adversely affected and its ability to raise
additional funds may be impaired.
o PeopleSoft may lose the tax benefits associated with the research
and development expenditures on the projects pursued by Momentum.
Though PeopleSoft may be able to recapture these benefits if it
chooses to acquire Momentum, it will likely face restrictions on
the amount and timing of its utilization of these tax benefits.
o If PeopleSoft chooses to acquire Momentum, it will likely be
required to record significant accounting charges relating to
acquisition of in-process research and development and
amortization of goodwill.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-24-
<PAGE> 30
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", which
addresses software revenue recognition matters and Statement of Position 98-4,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2", Software Revenue
Recognition" in October 1997 and March 1998, respectively, and an additional SOP
is anticipated to be issued before the end of 1998. These standards supersede an
earlier Statement of Position and apply to transactions entered into for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. PeopleSoft believes that its current
software revenue recognition policies and practices are materially consistent
with these standards. However, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants has not issued implementation guidelines for these guidelines and
the accounting profession is discussing a wide range of potential
interpretations. Once available, these implementation guidelines or additional
SOPs could lead to unanticipated changes in PeopleSoft's current revenue
accounting practices that could have a material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The implementation guidelines for these standards may also require
PeopleSoft to change significantly its business practices in order to continue
to recognize a substantial portion of its license fee revenue when it delivers
its software products. These changes may reduce demand, extend sales cycles,
increase administrative costs and otherwise adversely affect PeopleSoft's
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, PeopleSoft
could become competitively disadvantaged relative to foreign-based competitors
that are not currently subject to U.S. GAAP.
HIGH DEGREE OF OPERATING LEVERAGE
Like many of its competitors, PeopleSoft's business model is
characterized by a very high degree of operating leverage. A substantial portion
of PeopleSoft's operating costs and expenses consist of employee and facility
related costs, which are relatively fixed over the short term. In addition,
PeopleSoft's expense levels and hiring plans are based substantially on
PeopleSoft's projections of future revenue. If PeopleSoft's actual revenues fall
below expectations, its net income is likely to be disproportionately adversely
affected. PeopleSoft may be unable to increase or even maintain its current
level of profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS UNCERTAIN; SEASONALITY
Segments of the software industry have in the past, and are expected in
the future, to experience significant economic downturns characterized by
decreased product demand, price erosion, technological shifts, work slowdowns
and layoffs. PeopleSoft's operations may, in the future, fluctuate substantially
from period to period because of these industry patterns, general economic
conditions affecting the timing of orders from customers and other factors
affecting capital spending.
PeopleSoft has been, and expects to continue to be, affected by seasonal
trends in the software industry. PeopleSoft's revenues historically have
followed a pattern of being relatively weak in the first and second quarters and
relatively strong in the third and fourth quarters. This seasonality has been
caused by a variety of factors, including sales incentives, customer demand
based on available capital budgets and release of new technologies.
COMPETITION
The market for business application software has been intensely
competitive for the past three years and is currently intensifying. PeopleSoft
competes with a variety of software vendors including: (i)
-25-
<PAGE> 31
enterprise application software vendors; (ii) manufacturing application software
vendors; (iii) enterprise resource optimization application software vendors;
(iv) financial management systems and HRMS application software vendors; and (v)
software tools vendors. Although PeopleSoft believes its success has been due in
part to its early emphasis on the client/server architecture, virtually all of
PeopleSoft's competitors now offer software products based on a client/server
architecture. Consequently, PeopleSoft must differentiate itself through more
subtle architectural and technological factors, including: (i) web enablement;
(ii) enterprise software product breadth and individual product features; (iii)
service reputation; (iv) product flexibility; (v) ease of implementation; (vi)
international software product version availability and support; and (vii)
price. Price competition has increased recently and this trend may continue in
the future.
In the enterprise application software market, PeopleSoft faces
significant competition from SAP and Oracle and, to a lesser degree, Dun &
Bradstreet Software (now operating as two separate divisions of Geac Computer
Systems, Inc.), Computer Associates International, Inc. and other companies such
as System Software Associates who previously focused primarily on the AS/400
marketplace. In this market, the chief competitive factors include: (i) the
breadth and completeness of the enterprise solution offered by each vendor; (ii)
the extent of software product integration across the enterprise solution; and
(iii) the availability of localized software products and technical support in
key markets outside the United States. Both SAP and Oracle have certain
competitive advantages over PeopleSoft in each of these areas primarily due to
their significant worldwide presence and longer operating and product
development history. In addition, both SAP and Oracle have substantially greater
financial, technical and marketing resources, and a larger installed base, than
PeopleSoft. Furthermore, Oracle's RDBMS (relational database management system)
underlies a significant portion PeopleSoft's installed applications.
PeopleSoft entered the manufacturing software application markets in
1996. In these markets, PeopleSoft's existing competitors include those listed
immediately above, and others such as Baan, QAD, Ross Systems, J.D. Edwards and
a large number of niche competitors already in the manufacturing market.
In addition, since it acquired Red Pepper Software in the fourth quarter
of 1996, PeopleSoft has competed in the emerging enterprise resource
optimization software solutions market. PeopleSoft's current and potential
competitors in this market include:
o companies such as i2 Technologies, Manugistics and Numetrix
Software, which have developed or are attempting to develop
advanced planning and scheduling software products that
complement or compete with MRP (material requirements planning)
solutions;
o other companies that provide specialized planning and scheduling
software for niche markets, including Chesapeake Systems,
Waterloo Manufacturing Software, MAPICS, Inc., Marcam Solutions,
Inc. and CAPS Logistics;
o other business application software vendors that may broaden
their product offerings by internally developing (such as SAP's
initiatives in this area), acquiring (such as Baan's
acquisitions of Berclain Group, Inc. and Antalys, Inc.) or
partnering with independent developers of advanced planning and
scheduling software;
o internal development efforts by potential customers' corporate
information technology departments; and
-26-
<PAGE> 32
o companies offering standardized or customized products on
mainframe and/or mid-range computer systems.
PeopleSoft also competes with (i) providers of HRMS software products,
including Cyborg Systems, Lawson Associates, Integral Systems, Inc., InPower,
Inc. and Ceridian, and (ii) providers of financial management systems software
products, including Computron Software, Inc., Flexiware International, Hyperion
Software, Lawson Associates and other smaller companies.
In addition, as the Year 2000 approaches, potential customers may
consider outsourcing options, including data center outsourcing and service
bureaus, as viable alternatives to purchasing PeopleSoft's software products.
This may result in increased competition from outsource services such as
Computer Science Corporation ("CSC"), Electronic Data Systems Corporation
("EDS"), IBM, ADP, Ceridian and other smaller companies. During the third
quarter of 1998, PeopleSoft signed agreements with IT service providers CIBER,
Inc., CSC, Corio, KPMG Peat Marwick, reSOURCE PARTNER, and USinternetworking to
provide industry-specific outsourcing solutions encompassing software
implementation and management services. Although PeopleSoft is pursuing an
outsourcing partner program that it believes will address the needs of the
marketplace, this program may not be successful.
Intense competition could lead to increased price competition in the
market, forcing PeopleSoft to reduce prices. As a result, PeopleSoft's gross
margins may decline and it may lose market share which, in turn, could have a
material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations. In recent quarters, PeopleSoft's competitors have
increasingly priced their products aggressively. PeopleSoft may be unable to
continue to compete successfully with its existing competitors or to compete
successfully with new competitors.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS
As part of its overall strategy, PeopleSoft plans to continue to acquire
or invest in complementary companies, products, and technologies and to enter
into joint ventures and strategic alliances with other companies. Risks commonly
encountered in such transactions include: the difficulty of assimilating the
operations and personnel of the combined companies; the potential disruption of
PeopleSoft's ongoing business; the inability to retain key technical and
managerial personnel; the inability of management to maximize the financial and
strategic position of PeopleSoft through the successful integration of acquired
businesses; decreases in reported earnings as a result of charges for in-process
research and development and amortization of acquired intangible assets; adverse
impact on PeopleSoft's annual effective tax rate; dilution of existing equity
holders; difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures, and policies; and the
impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any
integration of new personnel. PeopleSoft may not be successful in overcoming
these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such
transactions.
RELIANCE ON PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
PeopleSoft's software products include a suite of proprietary software
development tools, known as PeopleTools, which are fundamental to the effective
use of PeopleSoft's software products. While no industry standard exists for
software development tools, several companies have focused on providing software
development tools and each of them is attempting to establish its software
development tools as the accepted industry standard. In addition, Microsoft is
attempting to establish several standards in the
-27-
<PAGE> 33
marketplace, including software development tools, middleware and OLAP tools. If
a software product other than PeopleTools becomes the clearly established and
widely accepted industry standard, PeopleSoft: (i) may be compelled to abandon
or modify PeopleTools in favor of such an established standard; (ii) may be
forced to redesign its software products to operate with such third party's
software development tools; or (iii) may face the potential sales obstacle of
marketing a proprietary software product against other vendors' software
products that incorporate a standardized software development toolset.
PeopleSoft may not be able to respond appropriately or sufficiently rapidly to
the emergence of an industry standard.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
PeopleSoft has committed, and expects to continue to commit, substantial
resources and funding to build its international service and support
infrastructure. Operating costs in many countries, including many of those in
which PeopleSoft operates, are higher than in the United States. In order to
increase international sales in 1998 and subsequent periods, PeopleSoft must:
o continue to globalize its software product lines;
o expand existing and establish additional foreign operations;
o hire additional personnel;
o identify suitable locations for sales, marketing, customer
service and development; and
o recruit international distributors and resellers in selected
territories.
If PeopleSoft's international expansion and/or product globalization efforts are
not successful, its operating results will likely be negatively affected.
Generally, PeopleSoft's foreign sales are denominated in its foreign
subsidiaries' currencies. If these foreign currency exchange rates change
unexpectedly, PeopleSoft's could have significant gains or losses. In January
1998, PeopleSoft implemented a hedging program designed to mitigate the
potential impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Under this foreign exchange
management policy, PeopleSoft may hedge existing transaction exposures,
anticipated transactions and exposure resulting from the translation of foreign
financial results into U.S. Dollars. PeopleSoft can hedge anticipated
transactions and translation exposures only if they are highly certain,
reasonably estimable and significant in amount. PeopleSoft began hedges of
anticipated transactions and translation exposures in the first quarter of 1998
using forward contracts. PeopleSoft's inability to hedge potential significant
exposures due to uncertainty or inability to estimate reasonably its foreign
exchange exposure could materially adversely affect its operating results.
RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTIES FOR SALES AND MARKETING
A key aspect of PeopleSoft's sales and marketing strategy is to build
and maintain strong working relationships with businesses that PeopleSoft
believes play an important role in the successful marketing of its software
products. PeopleSoft's customers and potential customers often rely on
third-party system integrators to develop, deploy and manage client/server
applications. These third-party system integrators include: (i) RDBMS software
vendors; (ii) hardware vendors which offer both hardware platforms and, in the
case of IBM, proprietary RDBMS products on which PeopleSoft's software products
run;
-28-
<PAGE> 34
(iii) technology consulting firms and systems integrators, some of which are
active in the selection and implementation of large information systems for the
information-intensive organizations that make up PeopleSoft's principal customer
base; and (iv) benefits consulting firms that are active in the implementation
of HRMS. PeopleSoft believes that its marketing and sales efforts are enhanced
by the worldwide presence of these companies. However, these companies, most of
which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than
PeopleSoft, may start, or in some cases increase, the marketing of business
application software in competition with PeopleSoft, or may otherwise
discontinue their relationships with or support of PeopleSoft. If PeopleSoft or
its partners are unable to recruit and adequately train a sufficient number of
consulting personnel to support the implementation of PeopleSoft's software
products, demand for these software products could be materially adversely
affected. In addition, integrators who generate consulting fees from customers
by providing implementation services may be less likely to recommend
PeopleSoft's software application architecture, including PeopleTools, if these
products facilitate fewer implementation efforts than competitors' similar
product offerings.
COMPLEXITY OF SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The market for PeopleSoft's software products is characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer
requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements.
PeopleSoft's future success will depend in part upon its ability to; (i)
continue to enhance and expand its core applications; (ii) continue to provide
enterprise solutions; (iii) enter new markets; and (iv) develop and introduce
new products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy
increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance.
PeopleSoft may not be able to enhance existing products or develop and introduce
new products in a timely manner.
PeopleSoft's software products can be licensed for use with a variety of
popular industry standard RDBMSs. There may be future or existing RDBMS
platforms that achieve popularity within the business application marketplace
and on which PeopleSoft may desire to offer its applications. These future or
existing RDBMS products may or may not be architecturally compatible with
PeopleSoft's software product design. PeopleSoft may not be able to develop
software products on additional platforms with the specifications and within the
time frame necessary for market success.
Beginning with Release 6, PeopleSoft integrated certain features of
BEA's Tuxedo product into its applications. Over the next several releases,
PeopleSoft will integrate additional Tuxedo features to allow applications to
run on a distributed basis using a multi-tiered client/server architecture.
PeopleSoft also will bundle Cognos' Powerplay product and Arbor's Essbase
product to incorporate desktop OLAP capabilities. These enhancements may be
critical to the competitiveness of PeopleSoft's software products in the future.
Integration of these and other products is complex and PeopleSoft's efforts may
not be successful or may not result in significant software product
enhancements.
Despite testing by PeopleSoft and by third-parties, software programs as
complex as those offered by PeopleSoft are likely to contain a number of
undetected errors or "bugs" when they are first introduced or as new releases
are subsequently released. This may result in reduced acceptance of PeopleSoft's
software products in the marketplace. The effort and expense of developing,
testing and maintaining software product lines will increase with the increasing
number of possible combinations of: (i) vendor hardware platforms; (ii)
operating systems and updated versions; (iii) PeopleSoft application software
products and updated versions; and (iv) RDBMS platforms and updated versions.
Developing consistent software product performance characteristics across all of
these combinations could place a significant strain on PeopleSoft's development
resources and software product release schedules.
-29-
<PAGE> 35
RELIANCE ON SINGLE CLIENT INTERFACE
Currently, PeopleSoft supports client platforms using browsers certified
to run its Java-based Web client, or Microsoft's Windows family of software
products, including Windows 3.1 (PeopleSoft releases prior to Release 6 only),
Windows NT and Windows 95. If Microsoft fundamentally changes the architecture
of its software product so that users of PeopleSoft's software applications
experience significant performance degradation or become incompatible with
future versions of Microsoft's Windows Operating System, it could have a
material adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and
results of operations. The use of a Web browser (running on either a PC or
network computer) to access client/server systems is emerging as an alternative
to the traditional desktop access through Microsoft Windows based personal
computers. This client access via the Internet involves numerous risks inherent
in using the Internet, including security, availability and reliability.
PeopleSoft may wish to offer its applications on future or existing client
platforms that achieve popularity within the business application marketplace.
These future or existing client platforms may or may not be architecturally
compatible with PeopleSoft's software product design. PeopleSoft may not be able
to support new client interfaces and achieve market acceptance of new client
interfaces which it does support.
RELIANCE ON JOINT BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS
PeopleSoft has in the past entered into, and may in the future enter
into, various development or joint business arrangements to develop new software
products or extensions to its existing software products. Under these
arrangements, PeopleSoft has in the past and expects in the future to be the
exclusive remarketer of the developed software products and pays a royalty to
the business partner based on end user license fees for the developed products.
Under these joint business arrangements, PeopleSoft may distribute or jointly
sell with its business partner an integrated software product. While PeopleSoft
intends to develop business applications that are integrated with its software
products, these software products may not in fact be integrated or the market
may not accept an integrated enterprise solution. Also, these arrangements may
require additional investments from third parties or business partners to
complete development or to enhance the software product. These investments may
not be available on terms mutually acceptable to PeopleSoft and its business
partner or the existing or other potential third-party funding source(s). If
PeopleSoft acquires title to the software products or technology from its
business partner, it may account for this acquisition using the purchase method,
which is likely to result in either or both of the following accounting
treatments: (i) a charge to earnings for in-process research and development
which PeopleSoft would record in its statement of income in the period it
completed the acquisition; or (ii) allocation of a substantial portion of the
purchase price to acquired technology or other intangible assets, creating
significant intangible assets. These intangible assets would be amortized in
future periods as a cost of operations. If either of these scenarios occur,
PeopleSoft's results of operations in one or more future periods could be
materially adversely affected. For example, when it acquired PeopleSoft
Manufacturing, Inc. in 1996, PeopleSoft incurred a one-time charge to earnings
of $22.5 million for in-process research and development.
POTENTIAL SECURITY BREACHES
PeopleSoft's application software products incorporate extensive
security features designed to prevent unauthorized retrieval or modification of
sensitive data. PeopleSoft has developed a security architecture using: (i) the
capabilities of its own applications; (ii) the client operating system software;
(iii) some of the security features contained in the RDBMS platforms on which
the applications run; and (iv) certain third party security products. To date,
PeopleSoft is not aware of any violations of its application
-30-
<PAGE> 36
security architecture within its installed base. Although these security
features are subject to constant review and enhancement, they may not be
successfully implemented or may not be effective within a particular customer's
operating environment. If a breach of security or a suspected breach of security
occurs, the accompanying publicity or any subsequent claims against PeopleSoft
could adversely impact the demand for PeopleSoft's software products and/or
could cause a decline in the market price of PeopleSoft's stock and/or could
adversely impact PeopleSoft's financial results due to lost or delayed closing
of software licensing opportunities.
LIMITED PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS;
POTENTIAL INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
PeopleSoft considers certain aspects of its internal operations,
software and documentation to be proprietary, and relies on a combination of
contract, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures
to protect this information. PeopleSoft has title to five software patents. In
July 1998, PeopleSoft received title to another software patent relating to
Iterative Repair Optimization. This patent, in addition to an earlier issued
patent obtained through the acquisition of Red Pepper Software, also has pending
continuing applications. These applications may not result in issued patents
and, even if issued, the patents may not provide any meaningful competitive
advantage. Existing copyright laws afford only limited protection. PeopleSoft
believes that the rapid pace of technological change in the computer software
industry has made patent, trade secret and copyright protection less significant
than factors such as: (i) the knowledge, ability and experience of PeopleSoft's
employees; (ii) frequent software product enhancements; and (iii) the timeliness
and quality of support services. Patent, trade secret and copyright protections
may be inadequate, and PeopleSoft's competitors may independently develop
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to PeopleSoft's
technology. Through an escrow arrangement, PeopleSoft has granted many of its
customers a future right to use PeopleSoft's source code solely for internal
maintenance services. This possible access to PeopleSoft's source code may
increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of PeopleSoft's
intellectual property. Finally, the laws of some countries in which PeopleSoft's
software products are or may be licensed do not protect PeopleSoft's software
products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the
United States.
PeopleSoft does not believe that its software products, software
products acquired from previous acquisitions, third party software products
PeopleSoft offers under sublicense agreements, PeopleSoft trademarks or other
PeopleSoft proprietary rights infringe the property rights of any third parties.
However, third parties may assert infringement claims against PeopleSoft with
respect to its products. Any such assertion could require PeopleSoft to enter
into royalty arrangements or could result in costly litigation.
POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
PeopleSoft's license agreements contain provisions designed to limit its
exposure to potential product liability claims. However, these provisions could
be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state or local
laws or ordinances. Although PeopleSoft has not experienced any product
liability claims to date, use of its software in mission critical applications
creates the risk that a third party may pursue a claim against PeopleSoft. If a
product liability claim against PeopleSoft were successful, the resulting
damages or injunctive relief could have a material adverse effect on
PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, as PeopleSoft begins to compete in the manufacturing software
application market, the mission critical nature of these products may increase
PeopleSoft's exposure to product liability claims.
-31-
<PAGE> 37
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING GROWTH
PeopleSoft has experienced an extended period of: (i) significant
revenue growth; (ii) customer base growth; (iii) expansion of its software
product lines and supported platforms; (iv) significant expansion in its number
of employees; (v) increased pressure on the viability and scope of its operating
and financial systems; and (vi) expansion in the geographic scope of its
operations. This growth has resulted in new and increased responsibilities for
management personnel and has placed a significant strain upon PeopleSoft's
management, operating and financial controls and resources, including its
services and development organizations. To accommodate recent growth, compete
effectively and manage potential future growth, PeopleSoft must continue to
implement and improve the speed and quality of its information decision support
systems, management decisions, reporting systems, procedures and controls.
PeopleSoft's personnel, procedures, systems and controls may not be adequate to
support its future operations.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
PeopleSoft believes that its future prospects will depend in large part
upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly-skilled technical,
managerial and marketing personnel. PeopleSoft continues to hire a significant
number of additional sales, services and technical personnel. However,
competition for personnel in the software industry is intense, and, at times,
PeopleSoft has had difficulty locating candidates with appropriate
qualifications within various desired geographic locations, or with certain
industry-specific domain expertise. If PeopleSoft's competitors increase their
use of non-compete agreements, the pool of available technical personnel may
further narrow in certain jurisdictions, even if the non-compete agreements are
ultimately unenforceable. The failure to attract, train, retain and manage
productive sales and sales support personnel would have a material adverse
effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations.
If PeopleSoft loses the services of one or more of its key employees,
its business, operating results, financial condition or business prospects could
be materially adversely affected. In the past, PeopleSoft has lost few
employees, especially those in critical positions. PeopleSoft has several
programs in place to retain key personnel, including granting of stock options
that vest annually over four or five years. A number of key employees have
vested stock options with exercise prices lower than PeopleSoft's current stock
price. These potential gains provide these employees the economic freedom to
explore personal objectives both within and outside PeopleSoft, which may result
in the loss of one or more key employees during the coming years.
It is widely recognized that the software industry in which PeopleSoft
competes is at or beyond a condition of full employment. PeopleSoft may not be
able to attract, train and retain the personnel it requires to develop, market,
sell and support new or existing software or to continue to grow. Also, to
penetrate successfully key vertical markets, PeopleSoft must attract, train and
retain personnel with industry-specific domain expertise.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
PeopleSoft's internal business information systems are comprised
primarily of the same commercial application software products it generally
offers for license to end user customers. These applications have been tested
for Year 2000 compliance and are certified by the Information Technology
Association of America ("ITAA") as Year 2000 compliant. Therefore, PeopleSoft
does not expect any
-32-
<PAGE> 38
Year 2000 compliance issues to arise related to its primary internal business
information systems. PeopleSoft is not aware of any material operational issues
or costs associated with preparing internal systems for the Year 2000. However,
PeopleSoft uses other third party vendor network equipment, telecommunication
products, and software products that may or may not be Year 2000 compliant.
PeopleSoft currently is taking steps to address the impact, if any, of the Year
2000 issue surrounding these third party products. The failure of any critical
technology components to operate properly in the Year 2000 could have a material
adverse effect on PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of
operations, and PeopleSoft may be required to incur unanticipated expenses to
remedy any problems.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FACILITY EXPANSION
PeopleSoft's continued growth has led to a significant increase in its
number of employees. Commercial building vacancy rates have dropped
significantly in many of the markets where PeopleSoft has significant
operations. As a consequence, PeopleSoft expects to experience increasing
difficulty in obtaining additional space within which to expand its operations.
PeopleSoft's failure to either obtain space, or to obtain it on reasonably
attractive commercial terms, may inhibit its ability to grow, or may otherwise
adversely affect its operations and financial results.
Additionally, PeopleSoft may commit to real estate projects in order to
expand its operations to accommodate expected growth. These real estate projects
typically have a lead time of over one year from the commitment date to
occupancy. PeopleSoft's anticipated growth projections may not be realized, and
therefore, PeopleSoft may be subject to increased fixed costs that cannot be
recovered from operations, resulting in material reductions to net income and
cash flows.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
The trading price of PeopleSoft Common Stock has in past and may in the
future be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as: (i)
revenue or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations
(published or otherwise) of the investment community; (ii) announcements of
technological innovations by PeopleSoft or its competitors; (iii) new products
or the acquisition of significant customers by PeopleSoft or its competitors;
(iv) developments with respect to patents, copyrights or other proprietary
rights of PeopleSoft or its competitors; (v) changes in recommendations or
financial estimates by securities analysts; (vi) conditions and trends in the
software industry generally; (vii) adoption of new accounting standards
affecting the software industry; (viii) general market conditions and other
factors. Further, the stock market has experienced in recent months and may
continue in the future to experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that
particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of high technology
companies that often are not related to or are disproportionate to the operating
performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as
general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse
effect on the trading price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. In the past, following
periods of volatility in the trading price of a company's stock, securities
class action litigation has often been instituted against the company. Such
litigation could occur in the future with respect to PeopleSoft. Such litigation
could result in substantial costs and would at a minimum divert management's
attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on
PeopleSoft's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any
adverse determination in such litigation could also subject PeopleSoft to
significant liabilities.

POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF RECENT SECURITIES ISSUANCES
If holders of warrants and/or options to purchase PeopleSoft Common
Stock exercise any significant number of these securities and resell the
underlying shares, the market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock could be
materially adversely affected. At October 31, 1998, warrants to purchase
6,400,000 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock were outstanding. As of October 31,
1998, these warrants had exercise prices below the current market price of
PeopleSoft Common Stock. In addition, at October 31, 1998, there were
outstanding exercisable options to purchase 44,835,002 shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock issued under employee stock plans. As of such date, options to
purchase 31,659,883 shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock had exercise prices below
the current market price of PeopleSoft Common Stock. In addition, PeopleSoft has
offered all of its employee optionholders (other than David Duffield) the
opportunity to change the exercise price of any option with an exercise price
greater than $22.00 to the closing price of PeopleSoft's Common Stock on
December 15, 1998. As of October 31, 1998, 13,175,119 options had an exercise
price greater than $22.00.
INVESTMENTS AND LIQUIDITY
PeopleSoft's short-term and long-term investments in marketable
securities consist primarily of high quality municipal bonds, U.S. government
securities, corporate debt securities and tax-advantaged money market funds.
Although these investments have favorable credit ratings, it is possible that
the issuers will default on their obligations, and PeopleSoft may lose principal
and accrued interest. In times of growth, PeopleSoft's operating and investing
activities may use more cash than they provide, thus requiring PeopleSoft to
obtain additional sources of financing. In addition, PeopleSoft may need
additional sources of financing for capital expenditures and material
acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. PeopleSoft
may be unable to obtain additional sources of financing on favorable terms, if
at all.

DISTRIBUTION OF MOMENTUM CLASS A COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of PeopleSoft has declared a dividend, payable to
its stockholders, of one share of Momentum Class A Common Stock for every 50
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock held on December __, the record date for the
Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, all of the then outstanding
Momentum Class A Common Stock will be distributed to PeopleSoft's stockholders.
After the Distribution, PeopleSoft will hold all of the authorized shares of the
Momentum Class B Common Stock. See "Description of Momentum Capital Stock."
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement
between Momentum and PeopleSoft (the "Distribution Agreement"), PeopleSoft will
effect the Distribution (expected to be on or about December __, 1998) by
delivering all of the Momentum Class A Common Stock to Boston EquiServe, L.P.,
the distribution agent for the Distribution. Commencing on or about December __,
1998, the distribution agent will begin mailing account statements reflecting
ownership of Momentum Class A Common Stock to the Momentum stockholders.
Momentum stockholders may request stock certificates from the distribution
agent.
No fractional shares will be issued as part of the Distribution. The
distribution agent will aggregate undistributed fractional shares and sell such
shares at the earliest practicable date at the then-prevailing market price.
Each person who would be otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share will
instead receive a cash payment equal to such person's proportionate share of the
net proceeds of the sale of such aggregated shares.
PeopleSoft's stockholders will not be required to pay any cash or other
consideration for the Momentum Class A Common Stock received in the
Distribution. However, the Distribution of the Momentum Class A Common Stock to
PeopleSoft stockholders is a taxable transaction under federal income tax law.
See "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations."
The general terms and conditions of the Distribution and the
arrangements between PeopleSoft and Momentum are set forth in the Development
Agreement, the Marketing Agreement, the Services Agreement and the Distribution
Agreement. See "The Agreements and the Purchase Option." The Distribution
Agreement conditions the Distribution on, among other things, the absence of
material adverse changes in the business, financial condition or results of
operations of PeopleSoft or Momentum.

PeopleSoft will deliver such shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock to its transfer
agent. PeopleSoft will instruct the transfer agent to mail account statements
reflecting ownership of the PeopleSoft Common Stock to the holders of the
Momentum Class A Common Stock as of the date PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase
Option. The payment will be reflected in book-entry form. However, Momentum
stockholders may request stock certificates from the transfer agent.

REASONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION AND EFFECTS ON PEOPLESOFT
PeopleSoft's management regularly discusses the current state of the
software industry and where future demand will be focused. Based on these
discussions, PeopleSoft believes that an attractive business opportunity exists
to develop e-business applications, analytic applications, and industry-specific
software applications. These market opportunities provide PeopleSoft with
potential growth and profitability opportunities to complement its existing
market presence in enterprise applications. However, the development of these
products requires new and different technologies and core competencies, and
consequently, entails a higher level of technology and business risk to
PeopleSoft than that of its traditional OLTP products. The development of
analytic applications and e-business products may require the use of technology
unlike that utilized in PeopleSoft's current development activities. PeopleSoft
believes the potential risk of hiring individuals and acquiring or developing
technology to allow for adequate research and development in these areas is too
high for it to accept on its own.
PeopleSoft believes the formation of Momentum to develop products in
these areas, and the arrangements between PeopleSoft and Momentum, will provide
PeopleSoft with an opportunity to pursue, more quickly than would otherwise be
possible, these new businesses. PeopleSoft believes that the arrangement with
Momentum will benefit PeopleSoft stockholders by:
o separating this new business, with its own unique market
opportunity and risk/reward profile, from PeopleSoft's
traditional cross-industry ERP applications;
o enabling PeopleSoft stockholders to increase or decrease their
level of participation in this new business by varying their
level of investment in Momentum (by selling or acquiring
Momentum shares in the open market); and
o allowing PeopleSoft's financial results to continue to reflect
principally its traditional cross-industry ERP applications
business and previously existing industry initiatives.
After reviewing PeopleSoft's goals and objectives and considering other
possible methods of enhancing the growth of its product commercialization
business, PeopleSoft's management and Board of Directors believe enhancing this
business through the formation of Momentum and the Distribution will benefit the
PeopleSoft stockholders. PeopleSoft's Board of Directors approved the formation
of Momentum and the Distribution based on information provided by PeopleSoft's
management and its financial advisor Merrill Lynch. See "Opinion of Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated" attached as Exhibit A to this
prospectus.
PeopleSoft will pay Merrill Lynch a fee for its services in connection
with the Distribution. The receipt of the fee is contingent upon the
consummation of the Distribution. Merrill Lynch will also be reimbursed for
expenses that it has incurred or will incur in rendering its services.
PeopleSoft has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch against certain liabilities and
expenses in connection with its services as financial advisors. Merrill Lynch
has from time to time performed various investment banking and financial
advisory services for PeopleSoft.
Merrill Lynch, as part of its investment banking business, engages in
the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers,
acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted
securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate and other
purposes. PeopleSoft
-38-
<PAGE> 44
selected Merrill Lynch as its financial advisor because it is a nationally
recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in
transactions similar to the Distribution.
Although Merrill Lynch participated in certain of the discussions
regarding the Distribution, the terms of the Distribution were determined by
PeopleSoft's Board of Directors.

<PAGE> 45
BUSINESS OF MOMENTUM
BACKGROUND
PeopleSoft established Momentum to select and develop certain e-business
products, analytic applications and industry-specific application products.
Prior to the Distribution, PeopleSoft will contribute $300 million to Momentum
so that Momentum will have financial resources to pursue the development of
these products. In addition, PeopleSoft and Momentum have entered into a series
of agreements relating to various matters including:
o the permitted uses of the Available Funds;
o Momentum's right to use PeopleSoft Technology;
o development work and other services which may be performed by
PeopleSoft; and
o PeopleSoft's rights with respect to the products to be developed
by Momentum.
Under the Development Agreement, Momentum may use the Available Funds
only to develop those products which PeopleSoft proposes and which Momentum
accepts for development. PeopleSoft and Momentum will jointly agree on the work
plans and cost estimates for such products. PeopleSoft has granted to Momentum
the right to use PeopleSoft Technology to develop such products. Because
Momentum is expected to have limited staff and facilities, Momentum anticipates
engaging PeopleSoft to perform substantially all of the research and development
activity related to such products. However, Momentum could engage third parties
to perform such efforts, perform them itself or acquire other technologies or
companies. Momentum currently has no plans to develop products other than those
pursuant to the Development Agreement.
Momentum expects that initially its only revenue will come from
investment income derived from the Available Funds and that it will incur
substantial losses as it expends funds pursuant to the Development Agreement.
Momentum believes it eventually will derive revenue from the commercialization
of the products it develops, most likely through PeopleSoft. However, Momentum
has made no forecasts as to when, if at all, it will be profitable or when, if
at all, meaningful revenues will be generated through this activity.
PEOPLESOFT TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
PeopleSoft developed PeopleTools(R), its rapid application development
environment and architecture, specifically for developing client/server software
application products. Software developers use PeopleTools(R) to, among other
things, build and modify data tables, design and customize user interface
windows and develop varying security level functionality. Since the introduction
of PeopleTools(R) in 1988, PeopleSoft has invested and continues to invest
considerable funds and resources in the ongoing enhancement and updating of this
development environment. Using this proprietary development environment,
PeopleSoft has developed a comprehensive suite of cross-industry administrative
OLTP applications. This enterprise-wide suite of products includes applications
in human resource management, financials, distribution, manufacturing, and
supply chain optimization.
-40-
<PAGE> 46
PeopleSoft has granted Momentum a license to use PeopleTools(R) and
certain other technology to develop products under the Development Agreement.
Momentum believes that to develop industry-specific applications, PeopleSoft or
Momentum may need to develop or acquire enhanced functionality for
PeopleTools(R). In addition, Momentum may need to develop, acquire or license
additional development technologies to develop its e-business and analytic
applications. The Development Agreement allows Momentum to obtain, either
through development, acquisition or licensing, the rights to development tools
as deemed necessary to complete the products selected.
THE MOMENTUM PRODUCTS
Momentum Products are products recommended by PeopleSoft, and accepted
by Momentum, for research and development under the Development Agreement.
Momentum currently intends to develop the following types of Momentum Products:
e-business Products. Momentum currently plans to build e-business
applications that will be intuitive, user-focused solutions that enable people
to conduct a broad range of business processes and commercial transactions over
the Internet or a customer's intranet. These e-business applications will
include a new extended-enterprise class of applications that integrate content
from a customer's intranet, third party information and service providers and
PeopleSoft's traditional cross-industry ERP applications. Momentum believes that
e-business applications could effectively and efficiently meet the needs of
people fulfilling different roles in their organizations.
Analytic Application Products. PeopleSoft's OLTP products have
traditionally focused on helping companies improve the efficiency of business
processes. In contrast, analytic application products are focused on turning
stored data (created primarily by OLTP applications) into business intelligence
that can be used by companies to improve operating effectiveness. Momentum
currently plans to develop analytic application products that will deliver data
warehouse capabilities while allowing for integration and reconciliation to the
general ledger, billing, and time and labor systems. These analytic application
products are intended to enable rapid analysis and decision making while
lowering the risk of inconsistent data within an organization.
Industry-Specific Application Products. Momentum plans to develop a
series of products to address the software application needs of certain
industries. The initial target markets include utilities, professional services,
financial services, retailing and healthcare. The Momentum Products will be
designed to provide information processing capabilities for business functions
critical to each specific industry. Such industry-specific application products
typically support the core operating areas of a company.
Under the License Option, PeopleSoft has the right to obtain a
perpetual, exclusive license to market, distribute, sublicense, support and
enhance any product developed by Momentum pursuant to the Development Agreement.
This right expires 30 days after a product becomes Generally Available. The
determination of whether a product is Generally Available will be made by
PeopleSoft based upon the test procedures it uses for its own products. If
PeopleSoft exercises its rights under the License Option for a product, it will
pay Momentum a royalty on sales of that product in accordance with a formula
contained in the License Option. PeopleSoft will also then be responsible for
all upgrades, bug fixes and customer support related to the product. If
PeopleSoft does not exercise its rights under the License Option, Momentum may
commercialize the product itself or through arrangements with third parties that
are not designated competitors of PeopleSoft.
-41-
<PAGE> 47
In the event Momentum successfully commercializes a product, any revenue
it receives from such commercialization will not be considered Available Funds.
Momentum will be free to use such revenue for any purpose, including additional
product development. PeopleSoft will have no rights with respect to any products
Momentum develops using funds other than Available Funds.
DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
Scope and Design: Based on input from sales personnel, customers,
business partners and industry analysts, PeopleSoft will identify and prioritize
product opportunities and present such opportunities to Momentum. For each
product opportunity, high level business requirements are defined and
documented. This initial product scope is reviewed and discussed with internal
and external business process functional experts in an iterative review process
that confirms a product's conceptual framework. Once the initial product scope
is defined, the individual product features are identified and prioritized. In
addition, new technologies that would be required to build and deploy the
product are identified. For each product feature or new technology, a written
summary of its business requirements is prepared and is reviewed with
appropriate development personnel. Based on this review, product strategy and
development personnel reach an initial agreement on the product's content and
priorities for the initial release. Functional and technical designs are
developed for each planned feature. Design reviews are held with teams comprised
of product strategy, release testing, documentation, sample data and training
personnel. During the design review process, this group ensures not only that
the functional requirements are complete but also that the technical design
meets the business needs.
Develop and Port: In developing a new product, the development team will
code and unit test every feature in the products to ensure that the product
created complies with the functional and technical requirements. These tasks are
conducted using a reference development platform, and the functionality is
designed to provide global capabilities based on requirements from a proxy set
of countries around the world. All development issues are identified and
addressed. At the same time, system test requirements and procedures are
developed. Test strategies, product test plans, feature test requirements and
test procedures are completed. During the development and port phase,
documentation and curriculum development personnel work closely with the
developers to design documentation and training courses. Upon substantial
completion of development, the developed product is ported to support multiple
hardware, database and operating system platforms, and release platforms are
certified.
Test and Release: The product is delivered to a select group of
Pre-General Availability customers for limited use. Pre-General Availability
customers provide feedback on the features and functions as well as ease of use.
Issues identified during this phase are generally resolved prior to the product
being released as Generally Available. In addition, the combined product
features are system tested on the primary development platform. These tests
validate that the product and its features perform according to the specified
business and functional requirements. All test failures are logged, reviewed and
addressed. Release test requirements, plans and processes are developed and
finalized. During this phase, the product is tested to validate it is
operational on all supported platforms. The product is tested for (i) ease of
use, (ii) ease of installation, (iii) ease of upgrade, (iv) volume and (v)
performance. All incidents reported during release test are logged, reviewed and
addressed. Once the product has met system and release test exit criteria, all
sample data and documentation are finalized and incorporated into the master
production product. Final validation and acceptance tests are performed.

POTENTIAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
Based on PeopleSoft's experience in developing other products, the
Available Funds are expected to be expended pursuant to the Development
Agreement over a period of approximately three to four years. These development
efforts are currently estimated to require $48-$72 million for scope and design,
$180-$210 million for develop and port and $36-$60 million for test and
release, although these estimates may change over time as PeopleSoft and
Momentum select and develop products. Because of the rapidly changing dynamics
of the computer software industry, products currently forecasted to be
undertaken by Momentum may be reprioritized as the market place develops. In
addition, factors outside of Momentum's control, such as customer functionality
demands, competitor product offerings, and hardware platforms, could alter the
timing or amount of estimated expenditures.
FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL
Momentum is not expected to hire a significant number of employees or to
acquire significant property or assets. However, in order to develop products
under the Development Agreement, Momentum will have to make decisions on how to
obtain adequate resources for its development efforts. Momentum currently
expects that it will contract with PeopleSoft to provide engineering personnel
and facilities to perform the development work. Momentum has the right to
perform this work directly or seek other third party providers. Momentum is
expected to use a substantial portion of the Available Funds to compensate
PeopleSoft for the research and development of Momentum Products. In addition,
Momentum has contracted with PeopleSoft to provide general administrative
support services.
COMPETITION
The market for business application software is intensely competitive.
Momentum believes it will face substantial competition from the large,
established providers of enterprise-wide application software as well as from
numerous smaller, more specialized software companies. Other than PeopleSoft,
SAP, Oracle Corporation, Baan and J.D. Edwards & Company are the major providers
of enterprise-wide software. Momentum believes that each of these companies has
either launched initiatives or has the technical, financial, and marketing
capability to launch initiatives to develop products which directly compete with
the products Momentum intends to develop. In addition, numerous well-established
companies specialize in e-business products, analytic applications or particular
industry-specific applications. Almost all of Momentum's competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than those of
Momentum. Furthermore, although Momentum believes PeopleSoft does not intend to
compete with it, PeopleSoft is free to do so.
Momentum expects that any products developed by it will be
commercialized by other parties, most likely through PeopleSoft. Although
PeopleSoft has substantial market share in the enterprise-wide application
software market, it does not have a significant presence in the markets for
e-business or analytic application products or in any of the markets for which
Momentum intends to develop industry-specific application products. As a result,
PeopleSoft may not be able to compete successfully with the other large
providers of enterprise-wide application software or with the established
specialized software companies in these markets. Additionally, if Momentum
commercializes its products through third parties, such third parties may not
have the financial, technical and marketing resources to compete successfully
with Momentum's competitors.
-43-
<PAGE> 49
PATENTS; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The products Momentum intends to develop may incorporate certain
technologies of PeopleSoft and other third parties. While Momentum intends to
obtain from third parties permission to use their technologies, Momentum's
activities could unintentionally infringe the patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights of others. Consequently, third parties may assert
infringement claims against Momentum with respect to its products. Any such
assertion could require Momentum to enter into royalty arrangements or could
result in costly litigation.
Momentum intends to rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret,
and patent laws and employee and third party non-disclosure agreements to
protect its intellectual property rights, including the features and design
aspects of its products. Such measures may not be sufficient to protect its
rights, and Momentum's competitors may independently develop technologies that
are substantially equivalent to or superior to Momentum's technology. Momentum
may from time to time be involved in litigation regarding the scope and validity
of its intellectual property rights. Any such litigation, whether or not
successful, could result in substantial costs to Momentum and diversion of
efforts by Momentum's management.

$1,000 in November 1998 in exchange for 1,000 shares of Momentum Common
Stock. Momentum currently does not have any operations and will not have
any operations prior to the Distribution.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Momentum was formed on November 9, 1998. PeopleSoft will contribute a
total of $300 million in cash to Momentum prior to the Distribution.
PeopleSoft's contribution (together with interest earned thereon) is expected to
fund research and development activities for approximately three to four years.
Momentum's funds are expected to be used primarily to fund activities to be
conducted under the Development Agreement with PeopleSoft. Momentum expects to
engage PeopleSoft or other third parties to perform the development activities
on Momentum's behalf. Momentum is not expected to require significant facilities
or capital equipment of its own during the term of the Development Agreement.
There can be no assurances, particularly given the existence of the
Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement, that
Momentum will be able to raise any additional capital. Such additional capital,
if raised, would most likely reduce the per share proceeds available to holders
of the Momentum Class A Common Stock if the Purchase Option were to be exercised
by PeopleSoft. See "The Agreements and the Purchase Option -- Purchase Option."
OPERATIONS
Prior to the Distribution, Momentum will not have conducted any
operations. After the Distribution, Momentum's operations will be conducted
largely pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the
Services Agreement. See "The Agreements and the Purchase Option."
In its early years, Momentum's revenues are expected to consist solely
of investment income. In later years, Momentum may derive license revenues from
commercialization of Momentum Products, most likely by PeopleSoft. However,
Momentum is not expected to earn substantial revenues unless the Momentum
Products are successfully commercialized.
Momentum's expenses will be incurred primarily under the Development
Agreement and the Services Agreement. If Momentum engages PeopleSoft to perform
research and development work, PeopleSoft will charge Momentum 110% of its fully
burdened cost of performing such activities. These fully burdened costs will
include salary, benefits and overhead allocations. Momentum will also incur
certain direct costs associated with developing Momentum Products. These costs
could also include payments to other third parties for development, royalties,
or costs associated with acquiring or investing in complementary companies,
products or technology.
Under the Services Agreement, PeopleSoft will provide Momentum certain
administrative services including accounting, finance, human resources and legal
services. Momentum will pay PeopleSoft a fee equal to the sum of: (i) one
percent (1%) of PeopleSoft's fully burdened costs with respect to research and
development conducted by PeopleSoft under the Development Agreement; plus (ii)
one percent (1%) of any fees that Momentum pays to other third parties for the
research and development of products pursuant to the Development Agreement.
Momentum will also incur direct costs such as professional services, insurance,
taxes and regulatory fees.
As a result of its need to incur substantial development expenses prior
to receiving significant revenue, Momentum anticipates that it will incur
substantial losses which will likely be recurring.
-49-
<PAGE> 55
Momentum's future cash flow obligations will derive largely from the
Development Agreement and the Services Agreement. Momentum is required to expend
the Available Funds only to acquire or develop Momentum Products and related
technologies and for related administrative expenses. The rate at which
Available Funds are expended will derive from work plans and cost estimates
approved by Momentum.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
Momentum expects that substantially all of its research and development
and administrative activities will be performed by PeopleSoft. Momentum believes
that PeopleSoft's internal systems are Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that
Momentum purchases its own internal systems or contracts with other parties for
such services, it expects to be able to find systems and service providers which
are Year 2000 compliant. However, Momentum and PeopleSoft will be relying on a
variety of service providers, including telephone companies, utilities and
network services providers whose Year 2000 compliance is difficult to ascertain.
If any these providers were unable to provide their services to either
PeopleSoft or Momentum, Momentum's business could be adversely affected.

THE AGREEMENTS AND THE PURCHASE OPTION
DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
Momentum and PeopleSoft have entered into a Development and License
Agreement (the "Development Agreement") for the selection and development of
software application products including (i) e-business applications, (ii)
analytic applications, and (iii) industry-specific software application
products.
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the parties have agreed to the
following terms:
PeopleSoft has granted to Momentum a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive
license to use PeopleSoft Technology solely for internal use purposes connected
with the Development Agreement and solely in conjunction with Momentum's
development, support, demonstration, testing (and all other similar related
tasks) of the Momentum Products.
PeopleSoft will propose to Momentum that it develop particular software
products and related technologies. If Momentum agrees to develop such products,
PeopleSoft and Momentum will agree upon timetables, budgets and specifications
for each product. Products recommended by PeopleSoft and approved by Momentum
for development are called "Momentum Products."
Momentum has agreed to use diligent efforts to research and develop
Momentum Products in accordance with agreed upon budgets and timetables.
Momentum expects that it will undertake research and development by contracting
with a third party, as it does not expect to have the staffing or facilities to
do such research and development itself. Momentum currently expects that
substantially all of the research and development relating to Momentum Products
will be performed by PeopleSoft. However, PeopleSoft is not obligated to provide
any such services to Momentum, and Momentum may choose to hire other third party
providers. If Momentum chooses to engage PeopleSoft, it will pay PeopleSoft one
hundred and ten percent (110%) of PeopleSoft's fully burdened costs relating to
the research and development provided by PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft will recognize
such reimbursement amounts as product development revenues. If a third party is
hired to conduct research and development relating to Momentum Products, any
agreement between Momentum and such third party must include appropriate
provisions for the protection of PeopleSoft Technology and PeopleSoft's rights
under the Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement, and the Services
Agreement and as a holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock.
Momentum may develop or acquire (through licensing or otherwise) third
party software toolsets ("Developed Technology") for the purpose of developing
Momentum Products. To the extent Momentum has the right, Momentum will grant
PeopleSoft an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, market,
manufacture, reproduce, copy, sublicense, distribute (through PeopleSoft's then
current worldwide channel distribution system), create derivative works, enhance
and modify the Developed Technology. For a period of ten (10) years from the
date the Developed Technology is acquired or first identified as part of the
work plan related to the development of a Momentum Product, PeopleSoft will pay
a royalty of one percent (1%) of net revenue on products (other than Momentum
Products) developed by PeopleSoft using Developed Technology. In order to
develop certain products using Developed Technology, PeopleSoft may need to
acquire licenses or enter into other arrangements with third parties. For
purposes of calculating royalties due to Momentum for the use of Developed
-51-
<PAGE> 57
Technology in these products, net revenue will be reduced by the amount of
license fees or similar payments due to third parties from PeopleSoft with
respect to such product.
PeopleSoft will own all rights with respect to any enhancements made by
Momentum to PeopleTools(R) or other software products contributed by PeopleSoft.
PeopleSoft will not be obligated to make any royalty or other payments with
respect to such technology or enhancements. Momentum will own the Developed
Technology and the Momentum Products subject to PeopleSoft's license rights as
described in the Development Agreement and the Marketing Agreement.
Momentum may use the Available Funds only to develop or acquire Momentum
Products and related technologies and for related administrative expenses. It is
anticipated that Momentum will spend the Available Funds over a period of
approximately three to four years. Prior to expenditure, Momentum will be
required to invest the Available Funds in high quality marketable securities.
Any such investment earnings shall become a part of the Available Funds.
Momentum may not encumber, pledge or otherwise take any action with respect to
Available Funds that could prevent the full expenditure of such funds under the
Development Agreement. Under certain circumstances, PeopleSoft will have the
right to require Momentum to make an affirmative pledge of the Available Funds
to performance under the Development Agreement. Other than PeopleSoft's rights
under the Purchase Option, there are no restrictions on Momentum's use of funds
it generates or receives, that are not Available Funds, to conduct its business
as it determines.
The Development Agreement will automatically terminate upon the
expiration of the Purchase Option; provided, however, PeopleSoft's obligation to
pay royalties on Developed Technology will continue until the expiration of the
respective royalty terms. Either party may terminate the Development Agreement
if the other party breaches a material obligation thereunder and such breach
continues uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice by the terminating
party.
In the event the Development Agreement or the Marketing Agreement is
terminated by PeopleSoft in connection with Momentum's breach of a material
obligation under the Development Agreement or the Marketing Agreement,
PeopleSoft shall be entitled to receive, as liquidated damages, the Available
Funds. If PeopleSoft reasonably believes that such liquidated damages are
inadequate, then PeopleSoft will be entitled to specific performance of
Momentum's obligations under the Development Agreement or the Marketing
Agreement in connection with such breach.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
Under the Marketing and Distribution Agreement (the "Marketing
Agreement"), Momentum has granted PeopleSoft the exclusive license to market and
distribute pre-General Availability versions of each Momentum Product (the
"Pre-General Availability License") and an option to obtain a perpetual,
worldwide, exclusive license to market, distribute, sublicense, support and
enhance any post-General Availability versions of each Momentum Product (the
"License Option").
Under the Pre-General Availability License, PeopleSoft has an exclusive
license with respect to each Momentum Product to market and distribute the
Momentum Product for the period from which Momentum accepts the relevant product
proposal from PeopleSoft until the earlier of: (i) the exercise or expiration of
PeopleSoft's License Option with respect to the Momentum Product; or (ii) the
expiration
-52-
<PAGE> 58
of the Purchase Option. PeopleSoft shall pay Momentum royalties of six percent
(6%) of Net Revenues from the license of each Momentum Product. PeopleSoft has
agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly market each
pre-General Availability Momentum Product to a limited group of customers in
accordance with PeopleSoft's standard practices.
Under the License Option, PeopleSoft may obtain a perpetual, worldwide,
exclusive license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to
market, distribute, support and enhance each Momentum Product. PeopleSoft may
exercise the License Option with respect to any Momentum Product at any time
from the date on which Momentum agrees to develop the product until the earlier
of: (i) thirty (30) days after the product becomes Generally Available; or (ii)
the expiration of the Purchase Option. A Momentum Product will be deemed to be
Generally Available upon successful completion of the release testing model
which PeopleSoft uses for its own products with the level of functionality
originally agreed to by PeopleSoft and Momentum. Upon exercise of the License
Option with respect to a Momentum Product (a "Licensed Product"), PeopleSoft
will assume full responsibility for any product development, support, training,
consulting, bug fixes, modifications and enhancements with respect to such
Licensed Product. If PeopleSoft does not exercise the License Option with
respect to a Momentum Product, PeopleSoft will retain the right and obligation
to support any customers to whom it licensed such Momentum Product pursuant to
its Pre-General Availability License. These rights and obligations will survive
the termination of the Marketing Agreement.
PeopleSoft will make Product Payments to Momentum with respect to each
Licensed Product equal to the sum of (i) one percent (1%) of Net Revenues plus
(ii) an additional one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of Net Revenue for each one
million dollars ($1,000,000) of Development Costs of the Licensed Product that
were incurred by Momentum, up to a maximum royalty rate of six percent (6%) of
Net Revenue. Net Revenues for a particular quarter are end user license fees
received by PeopleSoft for licensing or sub-licensing each
Licensed Product less the value of bundled services and development expenses
incurred by PeopleSoft on such Licensed Product for that quarter. Net Revenues
will include all user license fees paid with respect to each Licensed Product,
regardless of whether PeopleSoft directly licenses such License Product, or
indirectly licenses such Licensed Product through a reseller, distributor, or
other third party. Subject to PeopleSoft's Product Payment Buy-Out Option
described below, Product Payments will be payable by PeopleSoft to Momentum for
ten (10) years after General Availability of the Licensed Product. PeopleSoft
will retain all support services and maintenance fees with no royalty-sharing or
payment obligation to Momentum. PeopleSoft's royalty obligations will survive
the termination of the Marketing Agreement.
PeopleSoft has the option to buy out Momentum's right to receive Product
Payments for any Licensed Product. The Product Payment Buy-Out Option may be
exercised for any Licensed Product at any time beginning twelve (12) months
after the Licensed Product is declared Generally Available. The buy-out price
will be fifteen (15) times the payment made by or due from PeopleSoft to
Momentum with respect to licenses of such Licensed Product for the four (4)
quarters immediately preceding the quarter in which the Product Payment Buy-Out
Option is exercised (payment will be annualized for any such Licensed Product
that has not been a Licensed Product for all of each of such four (4) quarters).
If PeopleSoft does not exercise the License Option with respect to a
Momentum Product, Momentum will be free to commercialize that Momentum Product
itself or with the assistance of a third party. To the extent that any such
Momentum Product contains PeopleSoft Technology, PeopleSoft has granted Momentum
a license with respect to PeopleSoft Technology allowing Momentum to enhance,
license, use and distribute the product provided that Momentum may not contract
with certain entities that
-53-
<PAGE> 59
PeopleSoft reasonably believes and identifies as competitors of PeopleSoft. This
license will survive the termination of the Marketing Agreement.
During the term of the Marketing Agreement, PeopleSoft will provide
quarterly reports to Momentum detailing payments due for such period with
respect to the relevant Momentum Product or Licensed Product, as the case may
be. Such reports will be due thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar
quarter and will indicate the quantity and dollar amount of Net Revenues
relating to each Momentum Product or Licensed Product, as the case may be, or
other consideration in respect of Net Revenues, during the quarter covered by
such report. No more than once in each calendar year upon at least five (5)
business days notice and during regular business hours, at Momentum's expense,
PeopleSoft is required to make available for inspection by Momentum such records
of PeopleSoft as may be necessary to verify the accuracy of reports and payments
made under the Marketing Agreement. PeopleSoft must provide similar reports and
records with respect to all Developed Technology Products.
The Marketing Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the
exercise of the Purchase Option by PeopleSoft; or (ii) the end of the thirtieth
(30th) day after the expiration of the Purchase Option. The Marketing Agreement
may be terminated by either party in the event that the other party (i) breaches
any material obligation under the Marketing Agreement (which breach continues
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the defaulting party)
or (ii) enters into any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar arrangement for the benefit of its creditors.
SERVICES AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Services Agreement, PeopleSoft will provide Momentum
with certain services relating to administration, including accounting, finance,
human resources and legal services. Momentum has agreed to pay PeopleSoft a fee
equal to the sum of: (i) one percent (1%) of PeopleSoft's fully burdened costs
with respect to research and development conducted by PeopleSoft under the
Development Agreement; plus (ii) one percent (1%) of any fees that Momentum pays
to other third parties for the research and development of products pursuant to
the Development Agreement. The Services Agreement remains in force until
December 31, 2002 and thereafter is automatically renewed for one-year terms.
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
Under the Distribution Agreement, PeopleSoft will contribute $300
million in cash to Momentum in exchange for approximately 4,750,000 shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock and 1,000 shares of Momentum Class B Common Stock.
PeopleSoft will then dividend such shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock to
the PeopleSoft stockholders in connection with the Distribution. Under the
Distribution Agreement, PeopleSoft has agreed to indemnify Momentum's officers
and directors to the same extent such persons are entitled to indemnification
under Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation if PeopleSoft exercises the
Purchase Option.
PURCHASE OPTION
The Purchase Option is set forth in Momentum's Certificate of
Incorporation. Pursuant to the Purchase Option, PeopleSoft has an exclusive,
irrevocable option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the issued and
outstanding Momentum Class A Common Stock. PeopleSoft may exercise the Purchase
Option by written notice to Momentum at any time during the period beginning
immediately after the
-54-
<PAGE> 60
Distribution until December 31, 2002; provided that such date will be extended
for successive six month periods if, as of any June 30 or December 31 beginning
with June 30, 2002, Momentum has not paid or accrued expenses for all but $15
million of the Available Funds as of such date. In any event, the Purchase
Option will terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after Momentum provides
PeopleSoft with a statement that, as of the end of any calendar month, there are
less than $2.5 million of Available Funds remaining. All certificates evidencing
Momentum Class A Common Stock will bear a legend indicating that the Momentum
Class A Common Stock is subject to the Purchase Option.
If the Purchase Option is exercised, the exercise price (the "Purchase
Option Exercise Price") will be the greatest of:
(1) 15 times the sum of (i) the actual worldwide payments made by or
due from PeopleSoft to Momentum with respect to all Licensed
Products and Developed Technology for the four calendar quarters
immediately preceding the quarter in which the Purchase Option
is exercised (the "Base Period"); plus (ii) such payments as
would have been made during the Base Period by, or due from,
PeopleSoft to Momentum if PeopleSoft had not previously
exercised its Product Payment Buy-Out Option with respect to any
Momentum Product (for purposes of the calculations in (i) and
(ii), payments will be annualized for any product that has not
been a Licensed Product for all of each of the four calendar
quarters in the Base Period);
minus
any amounts previously paid to exercise any Product Payment
Buy-Out Option for such Momentum Product;
(2) the fair market value of seven hundred twenty thousand (720,000)
shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock, adjusted in the event of a
stock split, as of the date PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase
Option;
(3) three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000) plus any
additional funds contributed to Momentum by PeopleSoft, less the
aggregate of all amounts paid or incurred to develop the
Momentum Products or pursuant to the Services Agreement as of
the date the Purchase Option is exercised; or
(4) ninety million dollars ($90,000,000).
In each case, the amount payable as the Purchase Option Exercise Price
will be reduced (but not to less than the total par value of the outstanding
Momentum Class A Common Stock) to the extent, if any, that Momentum's
liabilities at the time of exercise (other than liabilities under the
Development Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and/or the Services Agreement)
exceed Momentum's cash and cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term
investments (excluding the amount of Available Funds remaining at such time).
For this purpose, liabilities will include, in addition to liabilities required
to be reflected on Momentum's financial statements under generally accepted
accounting principles, certain contingent liabilities relating to guarantees and
similar arrangements.
PeopleSoft may pay the Purchase Option Exercise Price in cash, in
PeopleSoft Common Stock or in any combination of the two. For the purpose of
determining the Purchase Option Exercise Price, the fair
-55-
<PAGE> 61
market value of PeopleSoft Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing sales price of PeopleSoft Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for
the twenty (20) trading days ending with the trading day that is two trading
days prior to the date of determination. The per share purchase price of
Momentum Class A Common Stock will be reduced if Momentum issues additional
shares after the Distribution.
The closing of the acquisition of the Momentum Class A Common Stock
pursuant to exercise of the Purchase Option will take place on a date selected
by PeopleSoft, but no later than sixty (60) days after the exercise of the
Purchase Option unless, in the judgment of PeopleSoft, a later date is required
to satisfy any applicable legal requirements or to obtain required consents.
Between the time of exercise of the Purchase Option and the time of closing of
the acquisition of the Momentum Class A Common Stock, Momentum may not, without
PeopleSoft's consent, incur additional debt, dispose of assets, pay or declare
any dividends or operate its business other than in the ordinary course.
At PeopleSoft's election, Momentum may redeem on such closing date the
Momentum Class A Common Stock for an aggregate redemption price equal to the
final Purchase Option Exercise Price. Any such redemption would be in lieu of
PeopleSoft paying the final Purchase Option Exercise price directly to holders
of Momentum Class A Common Stock, and would be subject to PeopleSoft providing
the final Purchase Option Exercise Price to Momentum to allow Momentum to pay
the redemption price.
In the event that prior to PeopleSoft's exercise of the Purchase Option,
the number of outstanding shares of PeopleSoft Common Stock is increased by
virtue of a stock split or a dividend payable in PeopleSoft Common Stock or the
number of such shares is decreased by virtue of a combination or
reclassification of such shares, then the number of shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock used to compute the Purchase Option Exercise Price (if the Purchase Option
Exercise Price is the fair market value of 720,000 shares of PeopleSoft Common
Stock) shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to
such increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of PeopleSoft
Common Stock.
Under Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation, Momentum will be
prohibited from taking or permitting any action inconsistent with, or which
would in any way alter, PeopleSoft's rights under the Purchase Option. Momentum
may not, without consent of PeopleSoft as the sole holder of the Momentum Class
B Common Stock, merge, liquidate, sell any substantial assets, or amend its
Certificate of Incorporation to (i) alter the Purchase Option, (ii) change
Momentum's authorized capitalization, or (iii) alter the provisions governing
the Board of Directors. To the extent Rule 13e-3 ("Rule 13e-3) under the
Exchange Act dealing with going private transactions by certain issuers or their
affiliates is applicable at the time of any exercise of the Purchase Option,
PeopleSoft and Momentum will comply with their respective obligations under Rule
13e-3, subject to any available exemptions from such obligations.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion sets forth the opinion of Wilson Sonsini
Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation with respect to certain material
federal income tax considerations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), with respect to the shares of Momentum Class A Common
Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock, or
both shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock and cash distributed to
PeopleSoft's stockholders in the Distribution. THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS
THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION OF SHARES OF MOMENTUM CLASS A COMMON
STOCK BY PURCHASE OR MEANS OTHER THAN THE DISTRIBUTION. In addition, this
discussion is intended only to provide general information regarding PeopleSoft
stockholders that are subject to United States federal income tax; it may not
address all relevant federal income tax consequences to such persons or to other
categories of PeopleSoft stockholders, e.g., foreign persons, dealers in
securities, and stockholders that are exempt from federal income tax. This
discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations (including proposed
Treasury Regulations) promulgated thereunder, rulings, official pronouncements
and judicial decisions all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are
subject to change or different interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") or the courts, any of which changes or interpretations may have
retroactive effect. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation,
has disclaimed any undertaking to advise as to any change in the law that may
affect its opinion, including changes that may be made under currently pending
legislative proposals, and has expressed no opinion as to the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the federal income tax laws of the United States of
America. An opinion of counsel does not bind the IRS, which could take a
contrary position, but represents only counsel's judgment as to the likely
outcome if the issues involved were properly presented to a court of competent
jurisdiction. This discussion assumes that the shares of Momentum Class A Common
Stock will at all relevant times constitute capital assets of the stockholders.
This discussion does not address state, local, or foreign tax considerations.
PEOPLESOFT STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS.
TAXABILITY OF THE DISTRIBUTION TO HOLDERS OF PEOPLESOFT COMMON STOCK
The fair market value of shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock, plus
the cash intended to represent the fair market value of a fractional share of
Momentum Class A Common Stock (together, the "Taxable Amount"), distributed to a
holder of PeopleSoft Common Stock will constitute a dividend taxable as ordinary
income to the extent that PeopleSoft has current or accumulated "earnings and
profits" as of the end of the taxable year in which the Distribution occurs that
are allocable to the Distribution for federal income tax purposes. Assuming that
there will be a public market for the shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock at
the time of the Distribution, the fair market value of a share of Momentum Class
A Common Stock to a PeopleSoft stockholder for this purpose is expected to be
the average of the high and low trading price on the date of the Distribution or
if such date is not a trading day, on the first trading day following the
Distribution. If the Taxable Amount exceeds the stockholder's allocable share of
PeopleSoft's current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax
purposes determined as of the end of PeopleSoft's fiscal year ending December
31, 1998, the excess will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of
capital to the extent of the stockholder's basis in the stockholder's PeopleSoft
Common Stock, and after this basis is reduced to zero, as capital gain, which
will be taxed in the manner discussed in the "Sale of Shares of Momentum Class A
Common Stock" section below. PeopleSoft's management has advised that, based on
the information currently available, PeopleSoft's accumulated earnings and
profits at December 31, 1998 is expected to be such that the Taxable Amount will
not exceed the PeopleSoft stockholder's allocable share of such earnings and
profits.
-57-
<PAGE> 63
No later than February 1, 1999, PeopleSoft will issue to each holder of
PeopleSoft Common Stock receiving shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock in the
Distribution an IRS Form 1099-DIV reflecting the fair market value of the shares
of Momentum Class A Common Stock (and any amount of cash received in lieu of
fractional shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock) distributed to such holder,
as well as any portion of the Taxable Amount exceeding such holder's allocable
share of PeopleSoft's current and accumulated earnings and profits.
To the extent that the Taxable Amount constitutes ordinary income, it
will generally be subject to back up withholding with respect to PeopleSoft
stockholders who, before the Distribution, have not provided their correct
taxpayer identification numbers to PeopleSoft on an IRS Form W-9 or a substitute
therefor. Although this discussion does not generally address tax consequences
of the Distribution to foreign holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock, such holders
should note that distribution of the Taxable Amount (to the extent of such
foreign holder's allocable share of PeopleSoft's current and accumulated
earnings and profits) will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the
rate of 30%. This rate may be reduced by income tax treaties to which the United
States is a party. Nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations and other
foreign holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock are urged to consult their own tax
advisors regarding the availability of such reductions and the procedures for
claiming them.
For corporate holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock, the Taxable Amount (to
the extent treated as ordinary income) will be eligible for a
"dividends-received" deduction, subject to limitations and exclusions provided
by the Code, if the Purchase Option is "significantly out of the money" for at
least 46 days during the 90-day period beginning 45 days before the PeopleSoft
Common Stock becomes ex-dividend with respect to the Distribution. However, for
corporate holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock, the Taxable Amount will be subject
to the Code's extraordinary dividend rules, which could reduce a corporate
holder's basis in its PeopleSoft Common Stock by the amount of the deduction, if
the Taxable Amount equals at least 10% of the holder's basis. Moreover, to the
extent that the untaxed distribution exceeds the corporate holder's basis, gain
will be recognized.
SALE OF SHARES OF MOMENTUM CLASS A COMMON STOCK
Upon the sale of shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock, the PeopleSoft
stockholder will have a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the
sale price and the stockholder's basis in the shares of Momentum Class A Common
Stock sold. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the
shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock have a holding period of more than one
year on the sale date. The maximum stated federal income tax rate for long-term
capital gain is 20% for noncorporate holders. In addition, the combination of
the shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock and the Purchase Option may be
deemed a "straddle," with the result that the holding period of shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock would not begin until such date as the Purchase
Option is exercised or expires. There is presently no difference in federal
income tax rates between ordinary income and capital gains of corporations.
Limitations may apply to deduction of capital loss.
A PeopleSoft stockholder's initial basis in shares of Momentum Class A
Common Stock received in the Distribution will be the fair market value of those
shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock at the time of the Distribution, which
fair market value will be determined in the manner set forth in the "Taxability
of the Distribution to Holders of PeopleSoft Common Stock" section above.
-58-
<PAGE> 64
EXERCISE OF PURCHASE OPTION
If PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase Option for cash (or otherwise if
the requirements for tax-free treatment described below are not satisfied),
holders of shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock will have a capital gain or
loss due to such exercise equal to the difference between (a) the cash (and any
other deemed consideration) received and (b) the holder's basis in the shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock surrendered. Gain or loss due to the exercise of
the Purchase Option will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock have been held for more than one year at the time
of the closing of the exercise of the Purchase Option. However, the combination
of the shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock and the Purchase Option may be
deemed a "straddle," with the result that the holding period of shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock would not begin until such date as the Purchase
Option is exercised and that capital gain or loss upon exercise of the Purchase
Option would be short-term. Limitations may apply to deduction of capital loss.
If PeopleSoft exercises its Purchase Option solely by delivering shares
of PeopleSoft Common Stock in exchange for Momentum Class A Common Stock, no
gain or loss will be taxable to the holders of Momentum Class A Common Stock
upon the exchange if (a) exercise of the Purchase Option constitutes a "plan of
reorganization" for purposes of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, (b) no
consideration other than PeopleSoft Common Stock and cash paid in lieu of
fractional shares (which cash generally will be taxable in the manner set forth
in the preceding paragraph) is deemed to be paid by PeopleSoft upon exercise of
the Purchase Option and (c) the other requirements of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of
the Code are met at the time of such exchange. In such case, former holders of
Momentum Class A Common Stock will receive a tax basis in the shares of
PeopleSoft Common Stock received upon the exchange equal to their tax basis in
the Momentum Class A Common Stock surrendered less the tax basis, if any,
allocated to fractional share interests, and the holding period of such
PeopleSoft Common Stock in the hands of such holders will include the holding
period of their shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock surrendered. However,
there can be no assurance that the requirements of Section 368(a)(1)(B) will be
met.
EXPIRATION OF PURCHASE OPTION
If the Purchase Option expires unexercised, each holder of shares of
Momentum Class A Common Stock on the date it expires may have short-term capital
gain in the amount of the fair market value of the portion of the Purchase
Option covering the holder's shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock on the date
of the Distribution; any such gain would increase the holder's basis in the
shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock. PeopleSoft believes that the fair
market value of the Purchase Option is not readily ascertainable. Each holder of
shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock should consult his or her own tax
adviser as to what amount, if any, should be reported as gain if the Purchase
Option expires unexercised.

DESCRIPTION OF MOMENTUM CAPITAL STOCK
At the time of the Distribution, Momentum's authorized capital stock
will consist of (i) 10,000,000 shares of Momentum Class A Common Stock, (ii)
1,000 shares of Momentum Class B Common Stock (together with Momentum Class A
Common Stock, the "Momentum Common Stock"), and (iii) 2,000,000 shares of
undesignated Preferred Stock.
Holders of Momentum Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. Available Funds may not be used to pay dividends. In the
event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Momentum, holders of
Momentum Common Stock will be entitled to receive, pro rata, all remaining
assets of Momentum available for distribution to stockholders.
No preemptive rights, conversion rights or sinking fund provisions will
be applicable to Momentum Class A Common Stock. Upon completion of this
Distribution, all outstanding Momentum Class A Common Stock will be fully paid
and nonassessable and will not be subject to any liability for further call. The
Momentum Class A Common Stock will be subject to the Purchase Option and
certificates representing such shares and book-entry account statements will
bear a legend to that effect. See "The Agreements and the Purchase Option --
Purchase Option."
No preemptive rights or sinking fund provisions will be applicable to
the Momentum Class B Common Stock. Each share of the Momentum Class B Common
Stock, all of which are held by PeopleSoft, will automatically convert into one
share of Class A Momentum Stock upon such date as the Purchase Option expires.
Until the expiration of the Purchase Option, PeopleSoft, as the sole
holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock, will be entitled to vote separately
as a class with respect to any merger or liquidation of Momentum, the sale,
lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any substantial asset of
Momentum, and any amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of Momentum
that would alter the Purchase Option, Momentum's authorized capitalization, or
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation governing Momentum's Board of
Directors. Accordingly, PeopleSoft could preclude the holders of the Momentum
Class A Common Stock from taking any of the foregoing actions during such
period. Prior to exercise of the Purchase Option, the holders of the Momentum
Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect one
director, and the holders of the Momentum Class A Common Stock will be entitled
to elect up to three directors. Upon exercise of the Purchase Option,
PeopleSoft, as the sole holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock, will have
the right to elect all of the Momentum directors and to remove directors with or
without cause. On all other matters, holders of the Momentum Class A Common
Stock and Momentum Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class.
Holders of Momentum Common Stock will have one vote for each share of Momentum
Common Stock held by them.
Only the Momentum Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the
President may call special meetings of the Momentum stockholders. The approval
of the holder of the Momentum Class B Common Stock is required to amend the
provisions of Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws governing the
number and classification of the Board of Directors and certain related matters.
The provisions of Momentum's Certificate of Incorporation granting special
voting rights to the holder or holders of the Momentum Class B Common Stock and
eliminating the right of Momentum stockholders to
-60-
<PAGE> 66
call special meetings of stockholders or act by written consent may inhibit a
change in control of Momentum.
Momentum has authorized 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Shares of
Preferred Stock may be issued without stockholder approval. The Board of
Directors is authorized to issue such shares in one or more series and to fix
the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights and rates, conversion rights,
voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any series of the designation of such
series without any vote or action by the stockholders. However, any Preferred
Stock issued must be subject to the Purchase Option and the approval of the
holders of a majority of the Momentum Class B Common Stock is required to create
any series of Preferred Stock with powers, preferences or rights superior to or
pari passu with the Momentum Class B Common Stock.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Momentum Business
Applications, Inc. as of November 10, 1998. This balance sheet is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an

management, as well as evaluation of the overall balance sheet presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MOMENTUM BUSINESS APPLICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
1. Organization and Ownership
Momentum Business Applications, Inc. (the "Company" or "Momentum") was
incorporated on November 9, 1998, in the state of Delaware for the purposes of
selecting and developing certain software applications and for commercializing
such products, most likely through licensing to PeopleSoft, Inc.
("PeopleSoft").
The Company has not yet commenced significant operations, and its only
activity to date has been the initial funding provided by PeopleSoft, which owns
all of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, no statement of
operations or statement of cash flows is presented.
2. Certain Transactions with PeopleSoft (unaudited)
On November 10, 1998, the Board of Directors of Momentum authorized the
Company to enter into certain agreements with PeopleSoft including a Development
and License Agreement (the "Development Agreement"), a Services Agreement (the
"Services Agreement") and a Marketing and Distribution Agreement (the "Marketing
Agreement"). In addition, under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
PeopleSoft will have an option, for a specified amount of time, to purchase all
of the outstanding shares of the Momentum Class A Common Stock.
Under the proposed terms of the Development Agreement, PeopleSoft will
grant to Momentum, at no charge, a worldwide license to use its PeopleTools(R)
rapid application development environment and architecture solely to develop
products accepted for development under the Development Agreement.
Under the proposed terms of the Development Agreement, Momentum will be
required to spend all of the funds contributed by PeopleSoft for the development
and acquisition of software products and related technologies under the
Development Agreement and for related administrative expenses. Momentum is not
expected to have staffing or facilities to perform under the Development
Agreement on its own. Momentum is expected to spend most of these funds to pay
PeopleSoft for the costs of these activities. PeopleSoft will charge Momentum
110% of PeopleSoft's fully-burdened costs of these services (salaries and
benefits, plus overhead).
Under the proposed terms of the Services Agreement, PeopleSoft will
provide Momentum with administrative services, including accounting, finance,
human resource and legal services at a fee equal to 1% of the development costs
incurred under the Development Agreement.
3. Common Stock (unaudited)
Prior to the Distribution contemplated by this prospectus, the Company
intends to restate its Certificate of Incorporation to provide for two classes
of common stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The common
stockholders of PeopleSoft will receive one share of Momentum Class A Common
Stock for each 50 shares of PeopleSoft common stock held on the record date. The
shares of
F-4
<PAGE> 71
Momentum Common Stock held by PeopleSoft on the record date will be converted
into 1,000 shares of Momentum Class B Common Stock.
4. Preferred Stock (unaudited)
Prior to the Distribution contemplated by this prospectus, the Company
intends to restate its Certificate of Incorporation to provide for 2,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue such
shares in one or more series and to fix the rights, preference, privileges,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights
and rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption
prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series
of the designation of such series.

OPINION OF MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED
[Merrill Lynch Letterhead]
December ___, 1998
Board of Directors
PeopleSoft, Inc.
4460 Hacienda Drive
Pleasanton, CA 94588
Gentlemen:
You have advised us that PeopleSoft, Inc. ("PeopleSoft") intends to distribute
(the "Distribution") to its stockholders shares of Class A Common Stock (the
"Momentum Shares") of Momentum Business Applications, Inc. ("Momentum"). The
Distribution is described in detail in the prospectus (the "Prospectus"), filed
as part of a registration statement on Form S-1/S-3 (Reg. no. 333-67363 /333-
09652), which is to be sent to PeopleSoft stockholders in connection with the
Distribution. You have asked us for our opinion as to whether or not, from a
financial point of view, the Distribution is fair to the stockholders of
PeopleSoft. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed thereto in the Prospectus.
In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have, among other things:
o reviewed the Prospectus including the following items as presented or referred
to therein: (i) the terms and conditions of the Distribution, (ii) the Marketing
Agreement, (iii) the Development Agreement, (iv) the Services Agreement, (v) the
Distribution Agreement and (vi) the Certificate of Incorporation of Momentum
including the Purchase Option;
o conducted discussions with members of the senior management of PeopleSoft with
respect to the businesses and prospects of PeopleSoft and Momentum and the
strategic objectives of each;
o conducted discussions concerning the Distribution with other representatives
and advisors of PeopleSoft, including its independent public accountants;
o reviewed the financial and other information concerning PeopleSoft (with and
without Momentum) that was publicly available or furnished to us by PeopleSoft,
including information provided during discussions with the senior management of
PeopleSoft;
o reviewed historical trading prices and volume of the Common Stock of
PeopleSoft (the "PeopleSoft Common Stock"); and
A-1
<PAGE> 76
o reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such
other matters as we deemed necessary, including our assessment of general
economic, market and monetary conditions.
In preparing our opinion, we have assumed and relied on the accuracy and
completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to us,
discussed with or reviewed by or for us, or publicly available (including the
information contained in the Prospectus), and we have not assumed any
responsibility for independently verifying such information or undertaken an
independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of
PeopleSoft (with or without Momentum) or been furnished with any such evaluation
or appraisal. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, nor
have we conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of
PeopleSoft. With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or
discussed with us by PeopleSoft, we have assumed it has been reasonably prepared
and reflects the best currently available estimates and judgment of PeopleSoft's
management as to the expected future financial performance of PeopleSoft and
Momentum.
We have also assumed that: (i) the Distribution will occur as described in the
Prospectus, and (ii) after the Distribution, Momentum will be accounted for as
an entity independent of PeopleSoft.
Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions,
including but not limited to generally accepted accounting principles, as they
exist and can be evaluated on, and on the information made available to us as
of, the date hereof. It is further understood that this Opinion does not
consider any future changes to such conditions that may occur following the date
of this Opinion which may adversely affect PeopleSoft's ability to pursue its
financial and strategic objectives. We note that trading in the PeopleSoft
Common Stock and the Momentum Shares for a period following completion of the
Distribution may be characterized by a redistribution of the shares of the
PeopleSoft Common Stock and the Momentum Shares among existing PeopleSoft
stockholders and other investors and, accordingly, during such period, the
PeopleSoft Common Stock and the Momentum Shares may trade at prices below those
at which they would trade on a fully distributed basis. We are not expressing
any opinion herein as to the price at which the PeopleSoft Common Stock will
actually trade after the announcement date of the Distribution or the price at
which the Momentum Shares will actually trade after the Distribution. In
addition, this opinion does not address the valuation or future performance of
Momentum as an independent public company following the Distribution, nor does
it address the adequacy of defensive measures included (A) in the Certificate of
Incorporation (as amended or restated) or the Bylaws of Momentum with respect to
(i) the rights of the holders of Momentum Shares or (ii) the rights of
PeopleSoft as holder of shares of the Class B Common Stock of Momentum, or (B)
in the agreements between PeopleSoft and Momentum entered into in connection
with the Distribution. We express no opinion as to whether the funds contributed
by PeopleSoft to Momentum will be adequate to accomplish the objective of
successfully developing the intended software products.
We are acting as financial advisor to PeopleSoft in connection with the
Distribution and will receive a fee for our services, which fee is contingent
upon the consummation of the Distribution. In addition, PeopleSoft has agreed to
indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. We may
continue to provide financial advisory or financing services to PeopleSoft and
may receive fees for the rendering of such services. In addition, in the
ordinary course of our business, we may actively trade PeopleSoft common stock,
and we may, in the future trade Momentum Shares for our own account and for the
accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short
position in such securities.
A-2
<PAGE> 77
This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of PeopleSoft.
On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, as of the date hereof, it is our
opinion that, from a financial point of view, the Distribution is fair to the
stockholders of PeopleSoft. Our conclusions are based on information available
to us as of the date of this letter.
Very truly yours,

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, both Momentum and
PeopleSoft have included in their Certificates of Incorporation a provision to
eliminate the personal liability of their directors for monetary damages for
breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to
certain exceptions. In addition, the Bylaws of Momentum and PeopleSoft require
the companies to (i) indemnify their officers and directors under certain
circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and (ii) advance expenses to their officers and
directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they
may be indemnified. Momentum and PeopleSoft have entered into indemnification
agreements with their officers and directors containing provisions that are in
some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in
the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require
the companies, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors
against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct
of a culpable nature), to advance expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain
directors' and officers' insurance if available on reasonable terms. Momentum
and PeopleSoft believe that its charter provisions and the indemnification
agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.
Momentum and PeopleSoft understand that the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission is of the opinion that statutory, charter and contractual
provisions as are described above have no effect on claims arising under the
federal securities laws.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In November 1998, Momentum sold 1,000 shares of its Common Stock to
PeopleSoft for an aggregate cash purchase price of $1,000 in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof. In connection with the Distribution contemplated by this
Registration Statement, the 1,000 shares of Momentum Common Stock held by
PeopleSoft will be converted into 1,000 shares of Momentum Class B Common Stock
in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrants, PeopleSoft and Momentum, each hereby
undertakes that 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 provisions set forth in Item 14 above,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised 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 Securities
Act of 1933 and the Registrant will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

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

at a time designated by the board of directors. In the absence of such

succeeding full business day. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any
other proper business may be transacted.
<PAGE> 2
2.3 SPECIAL MEETING
Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes
prescribed in the notice of meeting, may be called only by the board of
directors, the chairman of the board of directors or the president of the
corporation.
2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall
be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not
less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting
to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify
the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting,
the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE
Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An
affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of
the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud,
be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
2.6 QUORUM
The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote on the subject matter at the meeting, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by
statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may
be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
noticed.
When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at
the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question
brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express
provision of the laws of the State of Delaware or of the certificate of
incorporation or these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such
express provision shall govern and control the decision of the question.
-2-
<PAGE> 3
2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these
bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if
the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment
is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business
that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is
for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is
fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
2.8 VOTING
The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws,
subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law
of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners
of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).
Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation,
each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock
held by such stockholder.
2.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or
these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so
required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
2.10 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS

notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,

allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall
not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.
If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:
-3-
<PAGE> 4
(i) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if
notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which the meeting is held.
(ii) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior
action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the
first written consent is expressed.
(iii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of
directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.
2.11 PROXIES
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to
express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for him by a written proxy, signed by
the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such
proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless
the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the
stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature,
typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the
stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its
face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section
212(c) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall
prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in

of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
2.13 ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS
-4-
<PAGE> 5
Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of
the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction
of the board of directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to
vote in the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section. Such nominations, other than those made by
or at the direction of the board of directors, shall be made pursuant to timely
notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days
prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event less than thirty (30)
days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received
not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which
such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was
made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person, if any,
whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a

person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the
class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by
such person, (iv) any other information relating to such person that is required
by law to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors,
and (v) such person's written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving
as a director if elected; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice: (i)
the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of such
stockholder, (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are
beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (iii) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each nominee and any
other person or persons (naming such person or persons) relating to the
nomination. At the request of the board of directors any person nominated by the
board of directors for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary of
the corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholder's
notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible
for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section. The chairman of the meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a
nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these
bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting and
the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
2.14 ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS
At the annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly
brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (a) as specified in the
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of
the board of directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or
at the direction of the board of directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder. Business to be brought before the meeting
by a stockholder shall not be considered properly brought if the stockholder has
not given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation.
To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received
at the principal executive officers of the corporation not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than
thirty (30) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting
is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely
-5-
<PAGE> 6
must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was
mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the
secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring
before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address of the stockholder proposing
such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation, which
are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the
stockholder in such business, and (v) any other information that is required by
law to be provided by the stockholder in his capacity as proponent of a
stockholder proposal. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary,
no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section. The chairman of the annual meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business
was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare
at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting
shall not be transacted.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
3.1 POWERS
Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and
any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to
action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares,
the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.
3.2 NUMBER, CLASSIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE
The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be four (4),
but may be increased or decreased from time to time either by a resolution duly
adopted by the board of directors or as otherwise provided in this corporation's
certificate of incorporation. Subject to this corporation's certificate of
incorporation and commencing when authorized by the certificate of
incorporation, the board of directors shall be divided into three classes: Class
I, Class II and Class III, which shall be nearly as equal in size as possible.
During any period when the board of directors is divided into classes, each
director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting
of stockholders following the annual meeting at which the director was elected;
provided, however, that with respect to directors appointed in 1998, each
director in Class I shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders
in 1999, each director in Class II shall hold office until the annual meeting of
stockholders in 2000 and each director in Class III shall hold office until the
annual meeting of stockholders in 2001. During any period when the board of
directors is not divided into classes, all
-6-
<PAGE> 7
directors shall be elected to one year terms; provided, however, that the term
of any director in office at any time the board of directors ceases to be
classified shall not be reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.2, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly
elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal.
3.3 ELECTION AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate
of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may
be prescribed.
Elections of directors need not be by written ballot.
3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the
corporation. Such resignation shall be effective when given unless the director
specifies a later time. The resignation shall be effective regardless of whether
it is accepted by the corporation.
During any period when the board of directors is divided into classes,
in the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors,
any newly-created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or
decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors among the three classes
of directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal in number as
possible. Whether or not the board of directors is classified, no decrease in
the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.
Except as otherwise provided in the corporation's certificate of
incorporation, newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the
number of directors and any vacancies on the board of directors resulting from
death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office
(and not by the stockholders), even though less than a quorum, or by a sole
remaining director. Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or
series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of
the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of
such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors
elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole
remaining director so elected. Any director elected in accordance with the
preceding two sentences shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of
the class of directors in which the directorship was created or the vacancy
occurred, and until such director's successor shall have been elected and
qualified.
3.5 PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE
The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both
regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.
-7-
<PAGE> 8
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee designated by the
board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or
any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in
person at the meeting.
3.6 FIRST MEETINGS
The first meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall be held
at such time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the stockholders at the
annual meeting and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly
elected directors in order legally to constitute the meeting, provided a quorum
shall be present. In the event of the failure of the stockholders to fix the
time or place of such first meeting of the newly elected board of directors, or
in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the
stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be
specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the
board of directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all
of the directors.
3.7 REGULAR MEETINGS
Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at
such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the
board.
3.8 SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE
Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes
may be called at any time by the chairman of the board of directors, the
president, any vice president, the secretary or any two (2) directors.
Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or
telegram, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's address
as it is shown on the records of the corporation. If the notice is mailed, it
shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the
time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by
telephone or by telegram, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or to
the telegraph company at least forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the
holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be
communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director
who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate
it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose or the place of the
meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the
corporation.
3.9 QUORUM
At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the authorized
number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
and the act of a majority of the directors
-8-
<PAGE> 9
present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board
of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by
the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of
the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the
meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum is present.
3.10 WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or
these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in
any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of
incorporation or these bylaws.
3.11 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors,
then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time,
without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is
present.
3.12 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board
of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all
members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in
writing and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of
the board or committee.
3.13 FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation
of directors.
3.14 APPROVAL OF LOANS TO OFFICERS
The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or
otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its
subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the
corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such
loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the
corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without
interest and may be unsecured, or secured in
-9-
<PAGE> 10
such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without
limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing contained in
this section shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty
or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.
3.15 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of
incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire board of directors
may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the
shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect
of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director's term of
office.
ARTICLE IV
COMMITTEES
4.1 COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole board, designate one or more committees, with each committee to consist of
one or more of the directors of the corporation. The board may designate one or
more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or

restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall
issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the
face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent
such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish

AMENDMENTS
The original or other bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended
or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the
corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt,
amend or repeal bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so
conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor
limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

directors of the corporation that the corporation should be dissolved, the

resolution and of a meeting of stockholders to take action upon the resolution.
At the meeting a vote shall be taken for and against the proposed

statutory or regulatory waiting period. PeopleSoft may extend the Closing Date

address of each record holder as set forth in the records of this corporation's
transfer agent.

entitled to treat PeopleSoft as the sole holder of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of its Class A Common Stock, notwithstanding the failure of
any holder of Class A Common Stock to tender the certificates representing such
shares to the Payment Agent, whether or not such tender is required or requested
by the Payment Agent. This corporation shall instruct its transfer agent not to
accept any shares of Class A Common Stock for transfer on and after the Closing
Date. This corporation shall take all actions reasonably requested by PeopleSoft
to assist in effectuating the transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock in
accordance with this Article FIFTH.

stockholders of this corporation are each expressly authorized to adopt, amend
or repeal the bylaws of this corporation subject to any particular provisions
concerning amendments set forth in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
the bylaws of this corporation. No amendment to the bylaws may be adopted by the
stockholders without the approval of holders of a majority of the Class B Common

classification of the Board of Directors, or would otherwise regulate the
conduct of the Board's affairs or the manner in which it may act.

as a class by written consent without a meeting.

personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived any improper personal benefit, and to the extent such exemption from
liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the Delaware
General Corporation Law is amended after the filing of this Restated Certificate
of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the
corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
Neither the adoption or repeal of this Article, nor the adoption of any
provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this
Article, shall eliminate or reduce the
-12-
<PAGE> 13
effect of this Article in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of
action, suit or claim that, but for this Article, would accrue or arise, prior
to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer has executed this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation on December ___, 1998, and does hereby certify that
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and integrates, and
also further amends, the provisions of this corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation, was duly adopted by the stockholders of this corporation in
accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other.
(c) References to the "Company" shall include, in addition to
Momentum Business Applications, Inc., any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which
Momentum Business Applications, Inc. (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries)
is a party which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power
and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same
position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(d) "Expenses" shall mean any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in
connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or to
participate in, any action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of any Claim
regarding any Indemnifiable Event and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes
imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any
payments under this Agreement.
(e) "Expense Advance" shall mean an advance payment of Expenses
to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3(a).
(f) "Indemnifiable Event" shall mean any event or occurrence
related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of
Indemnitee while serving in such capacity.
(g) "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney or firm of
attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(c) hereof,
who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee
within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the
rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar
indemnity agreements).
(h) References to "other enterprises" shall include employee
benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving
at the request of the Company" shall include any
2
<PAGE> 3
service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in
a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be
deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the
Company" as referred to in this Agreement.
(i) "Reviewing Party" shall mean any appropriate person or body
consisting of a member or members of the Company's Board of Directors or any
other person or body appointed by the Board of Directors who is not a party to
the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, or
Independent Legal Counsel.
(j) "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of the Company
that vote generally in the election of directors.
2. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or
becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be
made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Claim by reason of (or
arising in part out of) any Indemnifiable Event against Expenses, including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of such Expenses. Such payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company
as soon as practicable but in any event no later than five (5) business days
after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company.
(b) Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition
that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any
case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 2(c) hereof
is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense
Advance shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that
the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so
indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts
theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or
thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to
secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and
Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense
Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to
which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).
Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall
be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. If there has not been a
Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of
Directors, and if there has been
3
<PAGE> 4
such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved
by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent
Legal Counsel. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if
the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be
permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee
shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by
the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any
aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company
hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.
Absent such litigation, any determination by the Reviewing Party shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
(c) Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a
Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been
approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control), then with respect to all matters
thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to payments of Expenses
and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect,
Independent Legal Counsel, if desired by Indemnitee, shall be selected by
Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to
the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and the Company agrees to abide
by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel
against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement
pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one Independent Legal
Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single Indemnitee, and such
Independent Legal Counsel shall be the Independent Legal Counsel for any or all
other Indemnitees unless (i) the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any
Indemnitee shall provide a written statement setting forth in detail a
reasonable objection to such Independent Legal Counsel representing other
Indemnitees.
(d) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement other than Section 9 hereof, to the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any
Claim regarding any Indemnifiable Event, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.
3. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid
by the Company to Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later
than five (5) business days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the
Company.
4
<PAGE> 5
(b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought
under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of
this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing
to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information
and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's
power.
(c) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For purposes of this
Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether
with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a
determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of
conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the
Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not
have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee
to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under
applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption
that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have
any particular belief. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing
Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified
hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that
Indemnitee is not so entitled.
(d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the
Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, the Company has
liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay,
on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in
accordance with the terms of such policies.
(e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be
obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company, if
appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel
approved by Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery to
Indemnitee of written notice of the Company's election so to do. After delivery
of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such
counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ Indemnitee's separate counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee's expense
and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been
previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such
5
<PAGE> 6
defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend
such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's separate counsel shall be
at the expense of the Company.
4. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
(a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such
indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws (as
now or hereafter in effect) or by statute. In the event of any change after the
date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the
right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors
or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties
hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits
afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law,
statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a
member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary,
such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule
to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the
parties' rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 9(a)
hereof.
(b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled
under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws (as now hereafter
in effect), any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to
Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified
capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.
5. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, provision of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaw (as now or hereafter in effect) or otherwise) of the
amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
6. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for
all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.
7. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit
the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and
acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to
undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of
indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the
Company's right under
6
<PAGE> 7
public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.
8. Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains liability
insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably
insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the
Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer; or of the Company's key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee
is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.
9. Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a) Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify Indemnitee for
acts, omissions or transactions from which Indemnitee may not be indemnified
under applicable law.
(b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily
by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or
proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under
this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to
Claims for Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of
Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as
otherwise required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may
be.
(c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous.
(d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.
10. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause
of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such
shorter period shall govern.
7
<PAGE> 8
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
12. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and
personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any
successor (whether direct or indirect, and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of
the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement
shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as
a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company
or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.
13. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or
thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to such action, regardless of whether Indemnitee is
ultimately successful in such action, and shall be entitled to the advancement
of Expenses with respect to such action, unless as a part of such action a court
of competent jurisdiction over such action determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good
faith or was frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name
of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including costs and expenses incurred with
respect to Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), and
shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action,
unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action
determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such action was made
in bad faith or was frivolous.
14. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if
delivered by hand and signed for by the party addressed, on the date of such
delivery, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with
postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses
for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement,
or as subsequently modified by written notice.
15. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of
or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this
Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, which shall be
the exclusive and
8
<PAGE> 9
only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim.
16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in
the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a
single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining
provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitations, each portion of this Agreement containing any
provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not
itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.
17. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to
be performed entirely within the State of Delaware.
18. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do
all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
19. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination
or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing
signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.
20. Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all
previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.
21. No Construction as Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained in
the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.
