Item 10. Undertaking
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, 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, and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold upon the termination of the
following TriMark Technologies, Inc. stock option plans: 1998 Director and
Executive Officer Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, 1995 Director and Executive
Officer Stock Option Plan (as amended), 1995 Employees and Consultants Stock
Option Plan, and 1993 Stock Option Plan (as amended).
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnity provisions incorporated by reference in Item 6, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.1
PEOPLESOFT, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made between Craig Conway (the "Executive")
and PeopleSoft, Inc. (the "Company") as of __________________, 1999. WHEREAS the
Executive's employment agreement with the Company dated May 10, 1999 (the
"Employment Agreement") provides Executive with the right to purchase restricted
stock of the Company; NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Stock Purchase. The Company hereby sells to the Executive five hundred
thousand (500,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") at a
purchase price of $.01 per share. Executive herewith delivers to the Company the
aggregate $5,000 purchase price for the Shares.
2. Repurchase Right.
(a) In the event the Executive ceases to provide services to the
Company as an employee or consultant, the Company shall, upon the date of such
termination, repurchase that number of shares which constitute the Unreleased
Shares (as defined in Section 3) at the original $.01 per share purchase price
(the "Repurchase Price") (the "Repurchase Right").
(b) The Repurchase Right shall be exercised by the Company by
delivering written notice to the Executive or the Executive's executor (with a
copy to the Escrow Holder (as defined in Section 5)) AND, at the Company's
option, (i) by delivering to the Executive or the Executive's executor a check
in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (ii) by the Company
canceling an amount of the Executive's indebtedness to the Company equal to the
aggregate Repurchase Price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that
the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such aggregate
Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the aggregate
Repurchase Price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become
the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares being repurchased and
all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have
the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Unreleased Shares
being repurchased by the Company.
3. Release of Shares From Repurchase Right.
(a) The Shares shall be released from the Company's Repurchase Right
in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement.
(b) Any of the Shares which have not yet been released from the
Company's Repurchase Right are referred to herein as "Unreleased Shares."
(c) The Shares which have been released from the Company's Repurchase
Right shall be delivered to the Executive at the Executive's request (see
Section 5).
4. Tax Consequences. The Executive has reviewed with the Executive's own
tax advisors the federal and state tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Executive is relying solely on
such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any
of its agents. The Executive understands that the Executive (and not the
Company) shall be responsible for the Executive's own tax liability that may
arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Executive understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the
purchase price for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the
date the Shares vest, and that Executive shall be required to make funds
available to the Company to satisfy the attendant tax withholding requirements.
The Executive understands that the Executive may elect to be taxed at the time
the Shares are purchased rather than when and as they vest by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with the IRS within 30 days from the date of the
purchase.
5. Escrow of Shares.
(a) To ensure the availability for delivery of the Executive's
Unreleased Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Right by the Company, the
Executive shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with an
escrow holder designated by the Company (the "Escrow Holder") the share
certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the Assignment
Separate from Certificate (the "Stock Assignment") duly endorsed in blank,
attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Unreleased Shares and Stock Assignment shall
be held by the Escrow Holder, pursuant to the Joint
<PAGE> 2
Escrow Instructions of the Company and Executive attached as Exhibit A hereto,
until such time as the Company's Repurchase Right expires.
(b) If the Company exercises its Repurchase Right hereunder, the
Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice of such exercise, shall take all
steps necessary to accomplish such transfer.
(c) When the Repurchase Right has been exercised or expires
unexercised or a portion of the Shares has been released from such Repurchase
Right, upon Executive's request the Escrow Holder shall promptly cause a new
certificate to be issued for such released Shares and shall deliver such
certificate to the Company or the Executive, as the case may be.
(d) Subject to the terms hereof, the Executive shall have all the
rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares while they are held in
escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and receive
any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time during the term of
the Company's Repurchase Right, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or
other change in the Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially
all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new,
substituted or additional securities to which the Executive is entitled by
reason of the Executive's ownership of the Shares shall be immediately subject
to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as
"Shares" for purposes of this Agreement and the Company's Repurchase Right.
4. General Provisions.
(a) Choice of Law; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed
by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of
California. This Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement) and the
Employment Agreement represent the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Executive, and may only be amended
in a writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) Successors. The rights of the Company under this Agreement shall
be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the
Company's successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Executive
under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the
Company; provided, however, that Executive shall be permitted to transfer Shares
to family members (consistent with the rules under Form S-8) for estate planning
or wealth management purposes, subject to such transferees agreeing to be bound
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(c) Waiver. Either party's failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision,
nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this
Agreement. The rights granted both parties hereunder are cumulative and shall
not constitute a waiver of either party's right to assert any other legal remedy
available to it.
(d) Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be found to
be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain
effective and shall remain enforceable. By Executive's signature below,
Executive represents that he is familiar with the terms of this Agreement, and
hereby accepts this Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions
thereof. Executive has read this Agreement in its entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement
and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement.

Company's repurchase right.
3. Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any

Re: PeopleSoft, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, we are rendering this opinion in connection with the

between PeopleSoft, Inc. and Craig Conway (the "Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement"), of up to 500,000 shares of common stock, ("Common Stock"), of
PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
We have examined instruments, documents, and records which we deemed
relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In
such examination, we have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of
original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to
