Client shall be obligated to pay iXL for all services rendered
pursuant to any outstanding Statements of Work (to the extent

Warranties), Section 10 (iXL Warranties), Section 11
(Exclusion of Warranties), Section 12 (Limits of Liability),
Section 13 (Indemnification), Section 14 (Non-Solicitation),
Section 16.4 (Governing Law), and Section 16.10 (Non-Agency),
all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement.
6. Payments to iXL.
6.1. Charges. For the services provided hereunder, Client shall
pay to iXL the fees in the amount and manner set forth in a
Statement of Work. All fees and expenses incurred by iXL in
the performance of the services will be billed to Client on a
monthly basis or as set forth in a Statement of Work.

6.2. Expenses. Client will pay, or reimburse iXL for, any
out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation,
travel and travel-related expenses, incurred by iXL at the
request of or with the approval of Client in connection with
the performance of this Agreement. Reasonable and customary
expenses incurred by iXL, including without limitation
expenses incurred for travel, including local
transportation, lodging, meals, telephone, shipping and
duplicating, will be billed to Client at actual cost. Travel
expenses incurred by iXL personnel on behalf of Client shall
be consistent with iXL travel policy. Such travel policy is
available upon Client's request.
6.3. Taxes. Client will pay all sales, use, transfer, privilege,
excise or other taxes and all duties, whether international,
national, state or local, however designated, which are
levied or imposed by reason of the transactions contemplated
hereby; excluding, however, income taxes on profits which
may be levied against iXL.
6.4. Time of Payment. Any sum due iXL hereunder will be due and
payable within thirty (30) days after the due date of an
invoice therefor from iXL. If Client fails to pay any amount
due within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice,
late charges may apply. In addition, failure of Client to
pay any invoiced amount within sixty (60) days after the
date of the invoice shall be deemed a material breach of
this Agreement, justifying iXL's suspension of the
performance of the Services, and shall be sufficient cause
for immediate termination of this Agreement by iXL. No
failure by iXL to request any such payment or to demand any
such performance shall be deemed a waiver by iXL of Client's
obligations hereunder or a waiver of iXL's right to
terminate this Agreement.
6.5. Legal Fees. If either party shall fail to fully perform its
obligations hereunder, such party agrees to pay, in addition
to any amount past due, plus interest accrued thereon, all
reasonable expenses incurred by the non-breaching party in
enforcing this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all
expenses of any legal proceeding related thereto and all
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.
7. Confidentiality.
7.1. During the course of performance of this Agreement, each
party may disclose to the other certain confidential
information as defined in Section 7.2 below. Each party
shall hold the other party's Confidential Information in
confidence and shall use its best efforts to protect it.
Each party shall not disclose the other party's
Confidential Information to any third party, and shall use
it for the sole purpose of performing under this Agreement.
At the conclusion of this Agreement, each party shall
either return the other's Confidential Information in its
possession (including all copies) or shall, at the
disclosing party's direction, destroy the other party's
Confidential Information (including all copies) and certify
its destruction to the disclosing party.
7.2. "Confidential Information" means any information provided
by either party or prepared by either party (either oral,
written, or digital) upon review of such information,
technical data, or know-how provided to either party by the
other (including any director, officer, employee, agent, or
representative of the other) or obtained by either party
from the other (including any director, officer, employee,
agent, or representative of the other) including but not
limited to, that which relates to research, product plans,
products, services, Clients, markets, software,
developments, inventions, processes, designs, drawings,
engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing
or finances of the disclosing party.
7.3. The term "Confidential Information" shall not include any
information which: (a) is in the public domain at the time
of disclosure or enters the public domain following
disclosure through no fault of the receiving party, (b) the
receiving party can demonstrate as already in its
possession prior to disclosure hereunder or is subsequently
disclosed to the receiving party with no obligation of
confidentiality by a third party having the right to
disclose it or (c) is independently developed by the
receiving party without reference to the disclosing party's
Confidential Information.
7.4. Either party may disclose the other party's Confidential
Information upon the order of any competent court or
government agency; provided that prior to disclosure the
receiving party shall inform the other party of such order.
7.5. Each party agrees that its obligations provided in this
Section 7 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect
the disclosing party and its business, and each party
expressly agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate
to compensate the disclosing party for any breach by the
receiving party of its covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement. Accordingly, each party agrees and
acknowledges that any such violation or threatened
violation will cause irreparable injury to the disclosing
party and that, in addition to any other remedies that may
be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the
disclosing party shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or
the continuation of any such breach by the receiving party,
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Concept Determination
---------------------
Timeframe: 6 weeks
Estimated Cost: $293,650
Major Deliverable: Solution Description & Conceptual Prototype
iXL's concept determination methodology creates solution ideas that provide
crucial direction for the design and development of the release. Successful
execution of the concept phase minimizes redesign costs in future phases by
basing the solution on a sound framework. Because sites with a sound framework
go through fewer major changes over time, customers are overwhelmed less with
new releases. This consistency can:
17
- Increase customer loyalty
- Help retain market share
Concept determination brings together iXL's expertise in online strategy and
marketing, creative direction, information architecture and usability, and
technical implementation to formulate viable concepts that actualize the
proposed strategy. Each deliverable is detailed with it's purpose in the
project. During this phase the following tasks are completed:
1. CONDUCT AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

to ensure that the resulting recommended solution is innovative, user-focused,
and feasible to develop and maintain. We also test the concept to validate user
acceptance. Upon completion of the concept phase, the client is given rough
comps and a solution description. These deliverables play an important role in
demonstrating to others how the strategy will be realized.
STAGE II - SOLUTION REQUIREMENTS & FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE
Timeframe: 6-8 weeks
Estimated Range: $480,000
Major Deliverables: Solution Requirements & Tight Comps
Solution Standards & Functional Prototype
iXL's Solution Requirements and Functional Prototype focuses upon the design of
the defined solution. Documenting the design of the solution ensures that all
components and functionality have been considered and minimizes development
errors. The end deliverable of this phase is functional prototype.
The Solution Requirements document will provide a detailed scope of work for
the development team. Once the concept has been validated from Stage I, iXL can
provide more a more precise allocation of resources and cost estimated
associated with this stage. However, iXL's experience in developing solutions
of this nature allows us to identify the following tasks that will be completed
in this stage:
1. VALIDATE COMPONENTS ANALYSIS
The components analysis will document the media-based, interface, and
interactive requirements of the system.
- Client Interview - iXL will meet with Bioshield Technologies to
discuss and document in detail the requested requirements for the
system. This meeting will address the questions and the documentation
already provided to iXL by Bioshield Technologies. Issues addressed
in this facilitated meeting will be Code, Brand, Creative,
Information
19
Architecture, Content, Design, and Navigation. This initial interview
will begin the development of three primary deliverables:
Business/User Functional Requirements; Interactive Narrative; and the
Organizational Schematic.
- Internal Components Determination Session - iXL will perform the same
task as listed in the Client Interview to determine and document the
team-driven requirements for the media-based, interface, and
interactive requirements of the systems based on information gathered
from Bioshield Technologies.
- Client Components Determination Session - iXL will conduct a workshop
with Bioshield Technologies to present the complete, harmonized
requirements. This process allows both iXL and Bioshield Technologies
the opportunity to recognize any components that perhaps were
overlooked in the client facilitated session and/or the internal iXL
team meeting.
- Components Determination Focus Group - iXL will test the defined
Business/User Functional Requirements, Interactive Narrative, and
Organizational Schematic against a focus group. iXL will use the
moderator's guide and the resulting research report to validate the
determined components.
- Requirements Attribute Document - iXL will clarify any additional or
dependent information in previous documents and gather requirement
attributes.
- Prioritize Use Cases - iXL will detail the use cases for the audience
and create the Use Case Workflow.
- Visual Linguistic/Message Studies - iXL will perform a series of
visual and linguistic studies to identify and define characteristics
desired in the development. This will allow iXL to explore and
capture various executions, document the beneficial and contrary
characteristics and prepare the requirements document.
2. CONDUCT FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
The functional analysis will document the engineering requirements of the
system. Within this analysis, iXL will review the business cases, business
models, and use cases with both the team and Bioshield Technologies. The
following tasks will allow iXL to prepare the functional and technical
requirements for the system:
- Determine Software/System Architecture - iXL will document the technical
architecture for development. This will involve creating the initial
document, reviewing it both with internal and Bioshield Technologies
resources, and refining the Software/System Architecture.
- Supplementary Specifications - iXL will identify and begin early
specifications of simple or risky areas, to be added to the solution
requirements document.
- Risk List and Iteration Plan - Working with the Project Manager, the
Technical Lead will begin early risk mitigation and plan reasonable
development iterations.
- Requirements Attributes Document - iXL will review the previous
documentation, update any additions and dependencies, and compose the
functional requirements attributes of the systems. This will provide
further clarification of the functional components.
20
- Design and Test Model - iXL will both write and test the code to begin
early testing of difficult or risky components. These findings will be
presented in code and test results.
3. PREPARE SOLUTION REQUIREMENTS
The Solution Requirements document will document and summarize all the software
and system requirements for the Allergy ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. The Solution
Requirements document will be comprised of Business/User Functional
Requirements and Interaction Design, User Interface Modeling and High Level
Prototype, and Architecture and Technical Requirements.
4. COMPLETE TIGHT COMPS
Tight Comps will offer Bioshield Technologies one to three final options of the
creative direction and interface layout of the system, based on the previous
conceptual prototype (rough comps) and client feedback. The objective of a
tight comp is to select the final interface design format. The work presented
during the Tight Comp stage is resolved to the stage where color palette
issues, branding and load size requirements are all known and stated.
The following tasks are associated with the completion of the tight comps:
- Client Review - iXL will elicit feedback and confirm thinking and
direction to date by reviewing the solution concept with Bioshield
Technologies and document the feedback.
- Focus Group - iXL will conduct formal focus groups to test the tight comps
against the end users of the system. iXL will prepare the facility,
procure the respondents, and create a moderator's guide with Bioshield
Technologies's input. Once completed, iXL will conduct the focus groups
and consolidate the results in a report.
- Individual Interviews - In conjunction with the focus groups, iXL will
conduct several individual interviews with users. As with the focus
groups, iXL will be responsible for procuring the respondents, creating
the moderator's guide with Bioshield Technologies's input, conducting the
interviews, and consolidating the findings in a report.
- User Testing - iXL will further assign users specific tasks to be
performed within the system, and conduct usability tests. iXL will prepare
a testing guide, procure the respondents, and create a report from these
findings.
5. PREPARE REQUIREMENTS UPDATE
Upon completion of the validation exercises, iXL will review the findings with
Bioshield Technologies and prepare updates to the solution requirements based
on the intelligence gathered.
6. SET SOLUTION STANDARDS
Setting the solution standards is a critical task to be performed before
development of the system. Once the system is fully developed, the iXL
21
Quality Assurance team will perform testing of the system based upon the
standards that were set before actual development. iXL will set solution
standards and document all of the component standards agreed to on the project
to date. To set these standards, iXL will hold several meetings both internally
and with Bioshield Technologies.
- Internal Component Standards Session - iXL will agree upon all of the
components as a team
- Internal Technical Standards Determination - iXL will agree upon al of the
technical standards as a team.
- Client Standards Determination - iXL will present Bioshield Technologies
will their agreements, and confirm the components and technical standards
with Bioshield Technologies.
7. DEVELOP FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE
Development of a functional prototype is designed to paint a second picture of
the software/system to be built. Bioshield Technologies will decide which of
the three functional prototypes they would like to have developed. The three
functional prototypes offer a variety of development efforts, and the decision
will depend upon how much of the system Bioshield would like to review before
development. The available prototypes include:
- High Fidelity Prototype - Create a prototype representative of the actual
deliverable in both form and function.
At the completion of this stage, the Allergy ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ solution and is
ready to enter the next stage for development.
STAGE III - BETA RELEASE & FULL RELEASE
Timeframe: 12-16 weeks
Estimated Range: $1,024,000
Major Deliverables: Beta Release
Full Release
iXL has developed a series of tasks and requirements to ensure that any
developed solution meets and exceeds all client expectations. Stage III
concentrates on developing the complete solution and preparing it for release.
iXL recommends the release of the solution in two phase, beta and full, to
ensure a fully functional release to the viewing public.
Through our experience in launching solution, iXL has determined the following
tasks that will be required to launch a complete solution:
1. VALIDATE SOLUTION PROTOTYPE
The validation of the solution prototype follows similar exercises associated
with completion of the tight comps. Listed below are the tasks involved in the
validation process. Please see Complete Tight Comps in Stage II for further
detail:
- Client Review
- Third Party Review
- Focus Group
- Individual Interviews
- User Testing
22
2. PREPARE STANDARDS UPDATE
Validation of the solution prototype will flush out any standards that need to
be changed or updated. IXL will update the solutions standards document based
on the findings gathered in the validation exercises and review them with
Bioshield Technologies.
3. DEFINE SOLUTION SPECIFICATIONS
Defining the solution specifications will require a compilation of all
documents prepared to date, and holistically prepare a single document of the
solution specifications. All of the solution specifications will be reviewed
with Bioshield Technologies, updated if necessary, and finalized. The solution
specifications document will include:
- Style Guidelines - The Style Guidelines will document the reusable visual,
interface, navigational, and content components in specific detail.
- Detailed Design Specifications - This design document will record every
instance of the visual, interface, navigational, and content components in
specific detail.
- Application Design Specifications - iXL will identify and write the
specific code necessary to build the software system.
- Database Design Specifications - iXL will document the specific
application code necessary to build the database system.
4. DEVELOP CONTENT
Based on the Style Guidelines and Detailed Design Specification, iXL will
allocate an Information Architect, Art Director, Web Programmer, and Graphic
Designer to develop the content of the system.
5. DEVELOP FRONT END INTERFACE
Based on the Style Guidelines and Detailed Design Specification, iXL will
allocate an Information Architect, Art Director, Web Programmer, and Graphic
Designer to develop the front end of the system.
6. DEVELOP BACK END SYSTEMS
Based on the Application Design Specifications and Database Design
Specifications, iXL will allocate an Application Developer, Systems
Analyst/Programmer, Database Developer/Architect, Software Engineer and
Technical Lead to develop the back end engineering of the system.
7. TEST FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE
The final stage of development is the testing phase. The iXL Quality Assurance
department will test the site for spelling, broken links, browser compliance,
and any portion of the site that does not match directly up to the solution
standards document. iXL will allocate a QA Engineer, QA Technician, and QA
Tester to test the system.
23
8. RELEASE BETA SOLUTION
Once a full working version is the site has be through full testing, the site
will be launched to the identified user group.
9. VALIDATE BETA SOLUTION
To validate the beta solution, iXL will run the validation exercises described
in both the complete tight comps task in Stage II and the validate solution
prototype in Stage III. The validation exercises will include:
- Client Review
- Third Party Review
- Focus Group
10. DEFINE IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Once the feedback has been received from the beta-testing phase, iXL will
develop a plan to implement any improvements to the site that are agreed upon.
11. UPDATE SOLUTION SPECIFICATIONS
After the improvement plan is outlined, iXL will update any and all
documentation effected by the changes.
12. IMPLEMENT DEVELOPMENT CHANGES
The changes will be integrated into the site
13. TEST FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE
Let's make sure the site is still stable with all of the changes incorporated
into the site.
14. LAUNCH FULL SOLUTION
Let's get the site out!
By documenting the aforementioned tasks and following a rigorous development
methodology, iXL can confidently release all solutions and ensure client
satisfaction.
