military authority, act of God, or other similar causes beyond its control and
without the fault or negligence of the delayed or non-performing party ("Force
Majeure Condition"). If any Force Majeure Condition occurs, the party affected
by the other's delay or inability to perform may elect to (1) suspend this
Agreement for the duration of the Force Majeure Condition and, once the Force
Majeure Condition ceases, resume performance under this Agreement with an option
in the affected party to extend the period of this Agreement up to the length of
time the Force Majeure Condition was endured; and/or (2) when the delay or
non-performance continues for a period of at least thirty (30) days, terminate,
at no charge, and effective upon written notice thereof to the non-terminating
party, this Agreement in its entirety, provided however that the terminating
party shall remain liable in respect of Services provided through the date of
such termination. Unless written notice is given within forty-five (45) days
after the affected party is notified of the Force Majeure Condition, election
(1) shall be deemed selected.

Section 12. Warranty. USI represents and warrants that it is
capable of providing the Services and that the Services will be performed with
due care and diligence at a level that meets professional standards and in a
workmanlike manner typically employed by U.S. firms in the same industry as of
the effective date of this Agreement.
Section 13. Independent Contractor. USI's status will be that of
an independent contractor, and neither it nor its employees will be deemed to be
employees or agents of Juggernaut. USI accepts full and exclusive liability for
the payment of contribution or taxes measured by the remuneration paid to its
employees. These include but are not limited to Federal and state unemployment
insurance, Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), Federal and local payroll
taxes, compensation insurance, or any similar item now or hereafter imposed by
Federal, state, county or local government.
Section 14. Confidentiality.
14.1 Both parties acknowledge that they each have confidential and
proprietary information, including certain information that derives actual or
potential economic value from not being generally known to the public, which
confidential and proprietary information is the subject of reasonable efforts
under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy ("confidential information").
Each party may receive confidential information from the other such as, but not
limited to, non-public information concerning the business products, customers,
or finances of either party. Neither receiving party shall, directly or
indirectly, disclose to any party other than its employees, affiliated
companies, and authorized agents or contractors (and such party shall be liable
to the other party for any material disclosure made by such employees,
affiliated companies and agents or contractors in violation of this Agreement)
any confidential information concerning the disclosing party's business methods,
products, customers, or finances, or any other confidential information which is
disclosed to it by the other party, whether or nor in writing and whether or not
designated as confidential, without the prior written permission of the
disclosing party, unless such disclosure is specifically required in the course
of the performance by the receiving party of its obligations hereunder and then
only to the extent necessary to perform the receiving party's obligations under
this Agreement. Each party shall take reasonable steps under the circumstances
to maintain the secrecy of confidential information received from the other
party. The obligations of USI and Juggernaut under this Section 14 shall not
extend to any information which: (i) becomes publicly available other than
through the action of the receiving party; (ii) is subsequently rightfully
furnished to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on
disclosure; (iii) is furnished by the disclosing party at the time of receiving
such disclosure; (iv) is rightfully known by the receiving party at the time of
receiving such information; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14
shall prevent disclosure of any information which is required to be disclosed by
valid order of a court or other governmental body or by law.
5
14.2 The parties acknowledge that this Agreement contains
commercially confidential information that may be considered proprietary by
either or both parties, and agree to limit distribution of this Agreement to
those individuals in their respective organizations with a need to know the
contents of this Agreement.

conditions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be

Convenience, pay to USI reasonable actual expenses incurred by USI in connection
with providing the Services up to the date of the Termination for Convenience.

Technical Scope Launch 1
Having discussed in detail the functional requirements for Juggernaut we have
identified the implementation level modules which will serve as the technical
scope for this project. Displayed below in Figure 1 is the software application
architecture for the Juggernaut project. Each module is described in detail in
the next section so that the technical scope of the project becomes more
apparent. Please refer to the Technical Design Document, to be presented and
approved on 3/19, for full detail on the specific scope of each module to be
completed during production of Juggernaut web site Launch 1.

Figure 1. Software Architecture Diagram
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
The module functionality descriptions are provided below:
1) Security Layer
The security layer provides a secure environment for the application.
It provides a secure socket layer (SSL) communication between the
user-interface and the underlying application and data. Also, whenever
necessary a user-name and password will be used to authenticate entry
to the available application resources. This module not only manages
security for data access but also takes into consideration data
confidentiality issues and audit/logging issues whenever the system is
accessed.
2) Juggernaut Database
The Juggernaut database will serve as the heart of the application.
This will be the repository for all production data needed to serve our
customers, [ ], and the management team. The database will house data
such as user profile, past purchases, billing information, shipping
addresses, user session information, category information, product
information for new [ ] goods, [ ] information, service information, [
] profile, [ ] information, purchases, inventory, transaction history,
[ ], financials, pricing models, and system parameters.
3) Data Access Layer
The data access layer will be the interface between the database and
the application. The data access layer will manage the database
connections and database calls. The data access layer will define a
uniform method of data access to all the other application modules.
4) Registration & Account Management
This module will provide programmatic interfaces for registering new
users, [ ], and management accounts. It will have provisions to verify
the email address of users as a means of authenticating the user's
identity. The registration module will request information such as
user-name, password, full name, and email address. Additional
information such as credit card number, address and birth-date may also
be requested from the user.
For Launch 1, the creation and management of business group accounts
will not be provided. Businesses wanting to transact on Juggernaut will
have to create an individual user account and use that account to
transact. In later phases of the project support will be provided for
business group accounts (as described in the Scope Contingencies
section).
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
5) Login
The Login module functions to authenticate the user via their user-name
and password. Once the user is authenticated, the Login module will set
the appropriate security settings for the user so that s/he has access
to the appropriate areas within the system. For security reasons the
login module will lock the user account if the user fails to provide a
valid user-name and password for a predetermined number of times.
6) Navigation
The Navigator tool and the associated functionality will be part of
this module. The navigation tool will allow the user to visually see
the relational product data within the Juggernaut central database. The
user will be able to navigate the products categories listed within the
Juggernaut database and see a list of all the items that belong in that
category. The navigation tool will also allow the user to restrict the
number of associated product relationships that are visible.
7) Search
The search mechanism is tightly integrated with the navigation tool.
The user is able to perform sophisticated keyword searches with the
help of a 3rd party search engine integrated within the Juggernaut
framework. The search tool will generate a list of products matching
the search request. They system will automatically generate a pull-down
list of appropriate choices based on the user's initial request in the
search field, in order to avoid too many results.
8) [ ]
During the user's visit to the Juggernaut web-site, s/he may [ ] The
function of this module is to keep track of the [ ] the system and
available to [ ]. Depending on the [ ] required by the user, this
module would determine which [ ] is the most [ ] the user and [ ] The
algorithm that determines which is the most [ ] will take into account
variables such as: [ ]
This module will also log information that will assist in [ ]
The logged information will [ ] Information such as the
[ ] will be recorded.
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
9) [ ]
The purpose of the [ ] module is to [ ] Logging functions will also be
included as part of the [ ] module. The main programmatic interfaces
provided by the [ ] module will be: create a [ ] will be responsible
for development of the [ ] Module. USI is responsible for integrating
the [ ] module into the system.
10) Transaction
This module is the key to the purchase process. The main functions
provided by this module would include: inventory checking, temporary
product holding, calculation of total and sub-totals, taxes and
shipping costs, payment authentication (credit-card authentication,
Juggernaut points authentication), inventory update, fulfillment
notification, transaction completion, financials update, and [ ]
update.
Initially the only methods of payment available to users will be credit
cards, pre-payments and Juggernaut points. During later phases other
payment methods such as virtual checks, CODs, and checks can be
incorporated into the system.
The Transaction module will determine whether there is enough inventory
within our system to decide what shipping options to show to the user.
If the inventory is insufficient, then the system will only show
shipping options that take into consideration the delay necessary to
obtain the products by the fulfillment center. Also, once the user
decides to pay for those products and goes to the credit card payment
screen, the transaction module will put on hold the quantity of
products chosen by the user.
If after a pre-determined amount of time the user still has not
completed the transaction, the transaction module will remove the
temporary hold on the product. Once the user has decided to pay for the
product and has chosen the shipping address, the transaction module
will determine the tax and shipping costs associated with purchase and
present a final total amount ▇▇▇▇ with the appropriate line items.
11) Accounting Interface
This module will provide programmatic interfaces to accounting packages
and tools that are used by management and partners. Several key
functions that this module provides are: Juggernaut points management,
[ ], product sales, returns, refunds, partner commissions, and partner
product sales. The module needs to communicate with several other
modules in order to collect the information necessary to provide data
for regular accounting reports.
Billing, collections, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other
general ledger items are not a part of this module.
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
12) Category Management
The Category Management module will be the primary interface between
the management and the underlying data that is being used by the
navigation tool. Programmatic interfaces to functionality such as
category creation, category linking, category description, category
activation, and category inactivation will be supported by this module.
13) Product Management
The Product Management module will be one of the most important modules
of the application. This module will provide programmatic interfaces
for [ ] of product information from partners as well as [ ] Thus,
whenever a partner wants to [ ] in order to make it available to users.
Also, programmatic interfaces for [ ] will be available to allow for
insertion of information about [ ], update information about [ ]
entered into the system, and delete information about [ ] entered into
the system. The [ ] that allows [ ] information about the products [ ]
will work in tandem with the interfaces provided by this module.
14) Fulfillment
The fulfillment module will be tightly coupled with the Transactions
module. Once a user has ordered a product, information about the order
has to be sent to the appropriate vendor or fulfillment center so that
the transaction can move forward. The purpose of this module will be to
establish that channel of communication between the vendor or
fulfillment center. This module will not only pass information to the
vendor or fulfillment center but also receive information about the
shipping status of the product(s). This module will capture all the
necessary information about the delivery of the product(s) so that it
can update the database to reflect the status of the shipment.
Implementation of this module is highly dependent on the level of
automation of each partner's system. The desired level of information
from each partner may not be available online. Thus, the programmatic
interfaces that this module needs to support are: send order
information (quantity, SKU#, shipping address, shipping method,
authorization code, order date), receive shipping information (shipping
date, shipping method, quantity shipped, shipping ID#) and update user
transaction status in the database.
Depending on the number of fulfillment centers or vendors that
Juggernaut needs to integrate with a custom fulfillment process will
have to be developed. Thus, it is possible that the scope of this
module might change based on the partnerships that are established.
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
15) Promotions & Advertisement
Juggernaut Management may want to have promotions on certain products
on a seasonal basis or at random because of advertising partnerships
developed with manufacturers. In cases like this, it is necessary to
provide mechanisms through which a product or a group of products can
be associated with discount percentages. This module will allow the
management to create new promotions, modify the parameters of existing
promotions, or inactivate/activate existing promotions.
16) [ ]
The [ ] module will be integrated with the Product module.
The [ ] module will support a [ ]. The programmatic
interfaces that the [ ] module needs to support are:
[ ]
The [ ] module will be integrated with the product classification
scheme used by the Product module. Thus, when a user navigates or
searches for products, the [ ] items will be part of the item list that
the user sees. Obviously there will be a way to distinguish an [ ] item
versus a [ ] on the user interface.
17) Business Rules Module
The business rules module will be tightly coupled with the database and
the data access layer. It is the development teams intention to
consolidate all business rules in a centralized module so that it is
easier to manage any changes that need to be made. These business rules
will most likely be in the form of [ ]
The business rules module will encapsulate individual business rules
and provide an interface to those individual business rules. Thus,
there will be as many programmatic interfaces that the business rules
module exposes as there are business rules.
The business rules module will be developed in such a way so as not to
[ ] within the business rule. All the [ ] will be stored in a
Juggernaut system table so that it is easier to [ ]
This module is dependent on several third-party software packages.
Based on the implementation requirements of these packages, it may not
be possible to create a separate Business Rules module. If this is the
case, Business Rules may already be built into the specific functional
modules themselves.
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
18) [ ] Tool Set
The following programmatic interfaces will be supported for the
internal [ ] system: login, logout, [ ] user's profile and transaction
history, [ ] user's profile, all the functionality supported by the
Navigation and Search modules, [ ], create a temporary work area, add
product items from the search result list to the work area, remove
items from the work area, and [ ] from the work area to the [ ]
19) Profile/Personalization
The profile/personalization module will start to become useful once the
Juggernaut system has a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of information in terms of
products, users, and transactions. Until then the amount of
personalization that can be accomplished is minimal. As a result, the
purpose of this module will be to put into place underlying data
structures to support personalization in [future phases] of the
project. Several 3rd party products are available that will be
evaluated before implementing the personalization module. The purpose
of the personalization module will be to collect as much user
information as possible through active (user registration, surveys,
comments, etc.) and passive (click-through analysis, purchase history,
etc.) data gathering techniques, and, based on that information,
provide product recommendations and advertisements to the user.
The functions provided by this module will be: modify profile,
recommend product/service, generate user affinity groups, and match
user with affinity group.
20) Error & Logging
The error and logging module will be very critical in identifying
problems that occur with the system while in production mode. The
errors and logs captured by this module will be invaluable in debugging
and solving problems. This module will be coupled with the data access
layer in order to capture the state-information and the process/task
information before the information is logged. There will only be one
programmatic interface provided by this module which will capture all
the necessary information about the error or the process and log it to
an appropriate table in the database.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
21) Messaging/Email
This module will provide interfaces to create, modify, activate, and
inactivate emails to be sent out to the users on a regular basis. For
example, users will be sent an email once they register on Juggernaut,
after they make a purchase, to remind them about their Juggernaut
points, to remind them of special promotions, etc. The email portion of
this module will allow for creation of mailing lists, messages, and
schedule the sending of those messages. The module will incorporate a
communication interface to a farm of SMTP servers so that fast delivery
of emails is ensured.
The messaging portion of the module will have interfaces to create
static messages on pre-determined portions of the user interface so
that the user can be notified of important information. For example,
the messaging module will communicate with the accounting module to
collect information about the user's Juggernaut points and pass it on
to the user interface module to be displayed appropriately. Other
instances of messaging would be to let the user know of any system
level changes that were about to be made or additional functionality
that have been added to the system that we want to highlight.
22) Customer Support
The customer support module is a portion of the management application.
This module will support all functionality that is needed to assist a
user when s/he calls the customer service center. The customer support
module will be an integration of functionality already created for the
users.
The programmatic interfaces supported by the Customer Support module
are: create a new user, modify existing user profile (after verifying
that the user is who they claim to be), activate/inactivate user
account, look-up transaction status, cancel product delivery, process
product returns/refunds, enter comments, view user's transaction
history, view user's Juggernaut points, and modify user's Juggernaut
points.
The customer support module will interface with the login and
registration modules in order to provide the same level of security as
the User web-site.
23) Internal System Task Scheduler
The System Scheduler will support the execution of recurring tasks
within the system, based on management decisions. For example, it will
be the Scheduler module's responsibility to do a backup of the database
at a predetermined time. Certain utilities built into the operating
system (such as [ ]) will be used to assist in the development of this
module.
(GRAPHIC OMITTED)
Scope for Launch 1 Development: Continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Scope Launch 1: (Continued)
24) Online Help
The online help module is one of the simpler modules within the
Juggernaut system. The online help module will have frequently asked
questions (FAQ) section for users and [ ].
25) System Monitor
The System Monitor module will provide the heartbeat of the system. The
complex network system, large-scale database, and production servers
will be constantly monitored by this module with the help of tools
available for companies such as BMC Software, Platinum Software, and/or
Computer Associates.
The main function of this module will be to keep a tab on various
aspects of the system resources such as disk space, network traffic,
database services, web-server services, hardware systems, security
services (hacks, denial of service attacks), etc. If the module detects
any problems it will warn and alert appropriate operators/managers
based on the priority of the problem. These alarms will either be sent
via email or pagers based, once again, on the priority of the problem.

Project Management Methodology:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The USI Senior Project Manager will be in contact with Juggernaut daily,
discussing the project, ensuring that all deliverables and reviews are met, and
documenting all progress. In order to expedite communication between USI and
Juggernaut, the following reports and processes will be implemented:
Production Schedule
The Production Schedule is a timeline of the project, outlining the
important project milestones. If the project scope is altered during
production, the Production Schedule is updated accordingly to reflect
the change. All internal and external reviews and milestones will be
reflected in this schedule. The Production Schedule will be updated
with completed tasks and delivered to Juggernaut twice monthly.
Status Meetings
Internal team Status Meetings will be held on a weekly basis. Client
Status Meetings will be determined by milestones within the Production
Schedule; a schedule of all Client Status Meetings will be generated
and distributed on a monthly basis.
Weekly Status Report
Given to Juggernaut weekly. These reports reflect all conversations,
developments, and issues relevant to the project, and reiterate any
dependencies or deliverables that are needed from Juggernaut.
Contact Report
Used as a verification of an agreement or important meeting with
Juggernaut, a Contact Report is usually sent a few days after the
conversation takes place. Our policy is to fax the report -- if it is
not disputed within 24 hours, it is understood that Juggernaut agrees
with the account of the decisions made, and the next production steps
will be taken.
Milestone Approval
At each major milestones or deliverable, the presentation overview, any
appropriate revisions, and next steps will be presented in a report.
The report will be signed by Juggernaut before work toward the
revisions will be done by USI.
Change Request Form
This form will be sent from Juggernaut to USI whenever a change or
revision to the scope is requested, as outlined in the Change Request
Process (Addendum 1of this document). It is an invaluable tool in
clearly defining the change in Project Scope and the implications to
the Production Schedule and Estimated Costs.

1999 (or such later date as the Launch 1 Date shall have been extended to in
accordance with the provisions set forth in the Production Plan/Budget
Contingencies section of this Statement of Work), because of reasons other than
reasonably avoidable delay solely attributable to USI, or a Force Majeure
Condition (as defined in the Agreement [defined below]) in which case the
provisions of Section 11 of the Agreement shall apply.1 Force Majeure Conditions
do not include reasonably avoidable days of delay attributable to Juggernaut or
its suppliers or other contractors, or reasonably avoidable days of delay
attributable to third parties not connected with either party. U.S. Interactive
will be paid the remainder of the fixed fee of $3.6 million in accordance
herewith and will then be paid monthly at the end of each month on a time and
material basis for work on and after July 30, 1999 at the usual and customary
rates charged by U.S. Interactive, discounted by 20%. The last $1 million of the
fixed fee of $3.6 million shall be paid no later than October 15, 1999. Should
payment of the last $1 million not occur by before October 15, 1999, then
Juggernaut will pay interest to U.S. Interactive at 10% per annum from July 30,
1999 on any such unpaid amount until the same is paid.
Some additional team members working specifically on the Business Plan portion
of the project are not included in the cost estimate. These team members will be
retained on a time and material basis until the Business Plan is completed.
--------
1 Section 11 of the Agreement provides: USI shall provide the
Deliverable described in, and when scheduled in, the Work Orders. Neither party
shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of
the Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood,
explosion, war, strike, embargo, government requirement, civil or military
authority, act of God, or other similar causes beyond its control and without
the fault or negligence of the delayed or non-performing party ("Force Majeure
Condition"). If any Force Majeure Condition occurs, the party affected by the
other's delay or inability to perform may elect to (1) suspend this Agreement
for the duration of the Force Majeure Condition and, once the Force Majeure
Condition ceases, resume performance under this Agreement with an option in the
affected party to extend the period of this Agreement up to the length of time
the Force Majeure Condition was endured; and/or (2) when the delay or
non-performance continues for a period of at least thirty (30) days, terminate,
at no charge, and effective upon written notice thereof to the non-terminating
party, this Agreement in its entirety, provided however that the terminating
party shall remain liable in respect of Services provided through the date of
such termination. Unless written notice is given within forty-five (45) days
after the affected party is notified of the Force Majeure Condition, election
(1) shall be deemed selected.

parties negotiate in good faith during such 72 hour period to reach
agreement with respect to the terms of any updated Budget Estimate and
Production Schedule presented by USI. If there is a delay of more than 72
hours for any approval, it is understood that USI will be granted an
extension for delivery of the effected deliverable and all other
deliverables that are reasonably likely to be delayed and actually are

o If any of the Critical Path deadlines for which USI is not responsible or
for which USI does not share responsibility (as described in the Critical
Path section above) are not met, USI will not be held to the Launch 1
deadline and a change order will be required to review the project
schedule. The number of days that the Launch 1 Date is moved will be
communicated by USI on a case-by-case basis.
o Status Meetings requested by Juggernaut which are not already outlined in
the predetermined monthly Status Meeting schedule will effect the Launch 1
Date. The number of days that the Launch 1 Date is moved will be
communicated by USI on a case-by-case basis. However, any ad hoc Status
Meetings (1 hour or less in length, consisting of an oral presentation of
general project status with no resulting additional work) will not effect
the Launch 1 Date.
o For the Launch 1 deadline, USI is responsible for integrating [ ] if
Juggernaut establishes these partnership contracts prior to the Critical

technical due diligence is done within the Critical Path Deadline described
above, 3) USI can not fully integrate each of the [ ] within [ ], and 4) no
change order regarding or relating to integration efforts is agreed to by
both parties, then USI will continue to work beyond the July 30, 1999
launch date at no additional cost to Juggernaut.

as caused by development partners or third party vendors. If such a delay
occurs, the Launch date may be effected. The number of days that the Launch
Date is moved will be communicated by USI on a case-by-case basis.
o USI is responsible for hiring the Production Team members necessary to
complete the Project Scope by the Launch 1 deadlines.
o Pending any future Change Order Requests or other requests to alter the

o If the Launch 1 Date (as the same may be extended in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the Production Plan/Budget Contingencies section of
this Statement of Work) is not met or clearly will not be met because of
the reasonably avoidable delays solely attributable to USI, then Juggernaut
may, upon written notice to USI, terminate this Statement of Work and the
provisions of Section 15.8 of the Agreement with respect to allocation of
licenses and ownership of property rights will apply. The power or right to
terminate for such breach does not eliminate any rights Juggernaut might
otherwise have to bring an action for damages (including interest at the
legal rate) or equitable relief.
