PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Selectica shall use commercially reasonable efforts to create the BMW Virtual
Center Application for BMW. The project shall be divided into phases. Phase 2A
is the test phase for the E-46 (For purposes of this Agreement, E-46 shall mean
BMW models 323i and 328i). This phase will introduce Selectica's configurator at
the BMW site and, under the Virtual Center, create the front- and back-end
infrastructure to incorporate the configurator into BMW's site, tested
simultaneously with the E-46 model introduction. Selectica shall also create the
configuration infrastructure for the Virtual Center for the configuration of
other BMW models, pricing and availability information.
The configurator shall include building the E-46 configuration model to include
all of the applicable rules and constraints involving model specifications,
options and pricing. The configurator shall integrate Selectica's technology
into the Graphical User Interfaces templates created by the advertising agency,
Xxxxxx XxXxxxxxxx, to allow customers to "Build their own BMW" and Lead Transfer
System (Pick a Retailer). It shall also deploy the "Store & Restore"
functionality, customizing the configuration results schema to match the
quotation specific requirements of BMW and its dealers. Finally, this phase also
involves the design for the "Harvest" Database schema to incorporate all the
product, pricing, retailer, availability data pertaining to BMW models, and an
update mechanism and process for timely reflection at the Virtual Center.

other rights throughout the world) in any inventions, works of authorship,
mask works, ideas or information made or conceived or reduced to practice,
in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with the
Company to the fullest extent allowed by California Labor Code Section 2870
(which is attached as Appendix A) (collectively "Inventions") and I will
promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company. I hereby make all
assignments necessary to accomplish the foregoing. I shall further assist
the Company, at the Company's expense, to further evidence, record and
perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and
defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby
irrevocably designate and appoint the Company as its agents and
attorneys-in-fact to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any
document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if
executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to
my employment that relates to the Company's business is not within the
scope of this Agreement, I have listed it on Appendix B.
2. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 1 includes all rights of paternity,
integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known
as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights"). To the
extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby waive
such Moral Rights and consent to any action consistent with the terms of
this Agreement with respect to such Moral Rights. I will confirm any such
waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.
3. I agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial

thereafter, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of
the Company to leave the Company for any reason (except for the bona fide
firing of Company personnel within the scope of my employment).

regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further agree that if
one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or
unenforceable under applicable California law, such illegal or

EXHIBIT 3 -- BMW BILLING PROCEDURES FOR OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES
A. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Selectica shall submit to BMW by no
later than the fifteenth (15th) business day of each month, in arrears, a
written invoice for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Selectica
pursuant to its performance under this Agreement. Each monthly invoice
shall detail each and every out-of-pocket cost and expense Selectica
believes to be reimbursable by BMW in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Selectica shall establish and maintain such
financial reporting systems and procedures as may be necessary and
appropriate to ensure accurate and timely submission of monthly invoices
consistent with BMW's financial and auditing reporting requirements.
Procedures necessary to effectuate the foregoing shall be agreed to by the
parties. Selectica agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
establish and maintain and, from time to time in accordance with BMW's
reasonable requests, modify the aforementioned financial reporting systems
and procedures to ensure that BMW's financial and audit requirements and
objectives are satisfied.
BMW recognizes that Selectica has established certain invoicing procedures
with respect to Selectica services for an array of clients, and that the
invoicing requirements set forth herein may not conform to Selectica's
current procedures. Upon execution of this Agreement the parties hereto
shall promptly meet to review Selectica's current invoicing procedures.
Selectica and BMW may, but shall not be required, to modify the invoicing
requirements set forth herein, provided that any such modification (i) does
not limit BMW's ability to rigorously monitor Selectica's financial and
other performance contemplated herein, (ii) is fully compatible with BMW's
fiscal and other corporate policies, procedures and requirements, (iii)
does not unreasonably inconvenience BMW or Selectica personnel, and (iv)
does not increase the cost of BMW performance contemplated herein. Any
modification to the invoicing requirements set forth herein shall be
evidenced by a writing signed by both parties, attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein.
B. A cost or expense for which reimbursement by BMW to Selectica requires
submission by Selectica of documentary or other substantiation thereof
shall not be reflected on a monthly invoice until and unless such necessary
substantiation is submitted therewith. BMW shall not be obligated to
reimburse Selectica for any cost or expense reflected on any invoice for
which necessary substantiation is not submitted therewith, nor for any cost
or expense reflected on any invoice received by BMW more than two hundred
(200) days after such cost or expense was incurred by Selectica. The
foregoing notwithstanding, Selectica shall exercise diligent effort to
submit to BMW for reimbursement costs and expenses within ninety (90) days
after such cost or expense is incurred by Selectica.
C. Each monthly invoice to BMW must be of sufficient detail to enable BMW to
understand the scope and nature of all services reflected therein. Each
monthly invoice which is timely submitted to BMW shall be payable within
thirty (30) days following the BMW's receipt thereof. In the event a
monthly invoice is not timely submitted, such invoice shall be payable by
BMW no later than thirty (30) days subsequent to the second (2nd) day of
the following month. In the event a dispute arises concerning one or more
items reflected in a monthly invoice, BMW shall be obligated to timely pay
all non-disputed
24
25
charges and the parties shall then negotiate in good faith to achieve a
mutually satisfactory resolution of the dispute.
D. In addition to setting forth those costs and expenses for which Selectica
seeks reimbursement by BMW, in the event Selectica finds that the budgeted
amount set forth in the payment plan set forth in Exhibit 7 is modified,
(such modification to be mutually agreed upon by the parties), the monthly
invoice shall provide for chronological tracking of budget by budgeted item
and in summary, for said full year of service, including but not limited
to, indications of original budgeted amount for media purchases, subsequent
adjustments thereto, year to date expenditures, projected full year
expenditure against forecast and the like in sufficient detail to enable
BMW to satisfy BMW's financial and audit obligations and objectives.
E. In monthly invoices, Selectica shall xxxx BMW at Selectica's actual cost,
without xxxx-up or profit and net discount or commission, including any
prepayment, for reasonable and substantiated expenses, including media
purchases, incurred consistent with the conditions set forth herein.

Notices to Licensor, Licensee and Escrow Holder should be sent to the parties as
identified in the attached Attachment A.
WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee have entered into a WebSite Design and
Development Services Agreement of even date herewith (the "License Agreement");
WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee desire this Technology Escrow Agreement to be
supplementary to said contract pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 365(n);
WHEREAS, availability of or access to certain proprietary data relating to the
proprietary technology and other materials is critical to Licensee in the
conduct of its business;
WHEREAS, Licensor has deposited or will deposit with Escrow Holder the related
proprietary data to provide for retention and controlled access for Licensee
under certain specified conditions:
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the promises, mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. LICENSOR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.
Following the execution of this Agreement and the payment of the set-up and
deposit fees to Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder shall open a "Deposit Account"
for Licensor. The items placed in the Deposit Account constitute the
"Deposit." The opening of the Deposit Account means that Escrow Holder
shall establish an account ledger in the name of the Licensor and that
Licensor shall receive renewal notices as provided in Section 7. Unless and
until Licensor makes an Initial Deposit (as defined below) with Escrow
Holder, Escrow Holder shall have no obligation to Licensor except as
defined by this Section.
2. INITIAL DEPOSIT.
The "Initial Deposit" will consist of all material initially supplied by
Licensor to Escrow Holder as specified by an accompanying document called a
"Description of Deposit Materials" hereinafter referred to as an Attachment
B. Escrow Holder shall issue to Licensor and Licensee a copy of the initial
Attachment B within ten (10) days of acceptance by Escrow Holder of the
Initial Deposit.

3. DEPOSIT CHANGES.
The Licensor will keep the Deposit updated with supplemental or replacement
materials ("Deposit Changes") to the extent required by the License
Agreement.
(a) Supplemental Deposit. A "Supplemental Deposit" will include any
materials added to the Deposit. Licensor will submit any Supplemental
Deposit accompanied by an Attachment B. Within ten (10) days of
acceptance by Escrow Holder of such Supplemental Deposit, Escrow

Attachment B.
(b) Replacement Deposit. "Replacement Materials" replace the existing
Deposit defined by Attachment B(s). Licensor will submit any
Replacement Materials accompanied by an Attachment B. Within ten (10)
days of acceptance by Escrow Holder of such Replacement Materials,
Escrow Holder shall notify Licensor and Licensee by issuing a copy of
the Attachment B. Escrow Holder will destroy or return to Licensor all
materials that are replaced by the Replacement Materials.
4. DEPOSIT INSPECTION.
Upon the receipt of the Initial Deposit materials and any Deposit Changes,
Escrow Holder will visually match the listed items on the Attachment B to
the labeling of such materials. Escrow Holder shall not be responsible for
verifying the contents or validating the accuracy of Licensor's labeling.
Acceptance of the Deposit will occur only when Escrow Holder concludes that
the Deposit Inspection is complete; which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
5. LICENSE REGISTRATION ACCOUNT.
Following the execution of this Agreement and the payment of the set-up,
deposit and registration fee to Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder shall open a
"Registration Account" for Licensee. The opening of the Registration
Account means that Escrow Holder shall establish an account ledger in the
name of the Licensee and that Licensee shall receive renewal notices as
provided in Section 7. Unless and until Licensor makes an Initial Deposit
of Materials with Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder shall have no obligation to
Licensee except as defined by this section.
6. DEPOSIT OBLIGATIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY.
Escrow Holder agrees to establish a receptacle in which it shall place the
Deposit (meaning the Initial Deposit, Supplemental Deposits and Replacement
Deposits to the extent then applicable) and shall put the receptacle under
the control of one or more of its officers, selected by Escrow Holder,
whose identity shall be available to Licensor and Licensee at all times.
Escrow Holder shall exercise a professional level of care in carrying out
the terms of this Agreement.

contain proprietary data of Licensor and that Escrow Holder has an
obligation to preserve and protect that confidentiality.
(b) Escrow Holder may duplicate the Deposit only as necessary to preserve
and safely store the Deposit, and to provide copies thereof, as
authorized herein, to Licensee. Escrow Holder shall reproduce on all
copies of the Deposit made by Escrow Holder
36
37
any proprietary or confidentiality notices contained in the Deposit
originally deposited with it by Licensor.
(c) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Escrow Holder agrees
that it shall not divulge, disclose, otherwise make available to third
parties, or make any use whatsoever of the Deposit, or of any
information provided to it by Licensor in connection with this
Agreement, without the express prior written consent of Licensor. This
obligation will continue indefinitely notwithstanding termination of
this Agreement.
7. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
This Agreement will have a term consistent with the term of the License
Agreement. In the event that the renewal fees are not received within
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date, Escrow Holder shall so
notify Licensor and Licensee of the thirty (30) day expiration period. If
the renewal fees are not received within the subsequent thirty (30) days,
this Agreement will expire without further notice and without liability of
Escrow Holder to the parties of this Agreement. Licensee has the right to
pay renewal fees and other related fees. In the event Licensee pays the
renewal fees and Licensor is of the opinion that any necessary condition
for renewal is not met, Licensor may so notify Escrow Holder, and Licensee
in writing. The resulting dispute will be resolved pursuant to the dispute
resolution process defined in Section 12.
8. EXPIRY.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon non-renewal
or other termination of this Agreement, all duties and obligations of
Escrow Holder to Licensor and Licensee will terminate. Thereafter, if

Deposit to Licensor, but only after all outstanding invoices and the
deposit return fees are paid. If the fee(s) are not received by the
anniversary date of this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall, at its option,
destroy or return the Deposit to Licensor.

Upon notice to Escrow Holder by Licensee (in the form of an affidavit or
declaration by an officer of Licensee) of the occurrence of a release
condition as defined in Section 24 of the License Agreement, and payment of
the filing for release fee, Escrow Holder shall so notify Licensor by

with Escrow Holder by an officer of Licensor stating that a Release
Condition has not occurred, or has been cured. Escrow Holder will send

authorized to release the Deposit, or if more than one Licensee is
registered to the Deposit, a copy of the Deposit, to the Licensee
filing for release following receipt of any fees due to Escrow Holder.
11. CONDITIONS FOR USE FOLLOWING RELEASE.
Following a release as provided in Section 10, Licensee shall have the
non-exclusive right to use the released material as and only as authorized
by Section 24 of the License Agreement. Additionally, Licensee shall be
required to maintain the confidentiality of the released materials and
technology in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement.
12. DISPUTES.
In the event of a dispute as to which this section applies, Escrow Holder
shall so notify Licensor and Licensee in writing. Such dispute will be

in any court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of this Agreement only)
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

arbitrator will be selected unanimously by the two arbitrators selected by
the parties. If the two arbitrators selected by the parties are unable to
select the third arbitrator within ten (10) days of the appointment of the
two arbitrators, the parties consent to the selection of the third
arbitrator by the AAA administrator.
13. INDEMNIFICATION.
Licensor and Licensee agree to defend and indemnify Escrow Holder and hold
Escrow Holder harmless from and against all claims, actions and suits,
whether in contract or in tort, and from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, penalties, counsel fees, and
other expenses of any nature (including, without limitation, settlement
costs) incurred by Escrow Holder as a result of performance of this
Agreement except in the event of a judgment or arbitration decision which
specified that Escrow Holder acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
14. AUDIT RIGHTS.

EXHIBIT 9 - SPECIFICATIONS
The goal of the BMW Virtual Center Application is to provide a better, more
customized online shopping experience for BMW prospects.
Selectica is responsible for the development and deployment of the car
configurator in the Virtual Center and managing the project resources for the
configurator tool. Selectica's responsibilities include the Harvest Database
schema design and implementation, addition of models to the configurator, the
maintenance of the configurator tool and addition of new configuration
capabilities.
The following are the major functions supported in the BMW Virtual Center:
1. THE CAR CONFIGURATOR: The E-46 car configurator allows users to configure
the BMW cars as set forth in Exhibit 1. online on the BMW Web site. The
configurator allows users to correctly pick exterior and interior colors,
packages and trim and other options, guiding customers through appropriate
and available choices, based on previous selections. The customer will be
presented the MSRP pricing. Selectica will deploy the ACE Enterprise
software to facilitate the configuration process.
2. STORE AND RESTORE: Once a car configuration is complete, the user is able
to save the configuration and retrieve it at a later date to work on it
further. Selectica will deploy the ACE Quote Server that handles the saving
and retrieval of configuration quotes. This functionality is required to
enable the Lead Transfer System of the BMW Virtual Center.
3. HARVEST DATABASE SCHEMA DESIGN: In order to effectively maintain the BMW
Virtual Center for configuration of all models, the data for all the models
will need to exist in a central repository. This repository is called the
"Harvest Database". Selectica will design the Harvest Database to include
any information that is required by the Virtual Center configurator.
4. LEAD TRANSFER SYSTEM (PICK A RETAILER): This functionality will permit
prospective customer leads generated on the Virtual Center to be
transferred to BMW, or any BMW designee, or to its Centers and Affiliate
Centers.
5. ALL REMAINING MODELS CONFIGURATION: Selectica will incorporate into the BMW
Virtual Center BMW automobiles as set forth in Exhibit 1 for which the data
is available in Harvest Data Base format or interim database format.
