WHEREAS Peregrine filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C §§101, et. seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), on September 22, 2002, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (“Bankruptcy Court”); and,
WHEREAS the parties, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, now wish to (a) amend the terms of the US Assignment Agreement to provide for (i) the transition to Peregrine of certain hosting services provided by IBM which are no longer cost-effective in light of Peregrine’s customer base; and (ii) the termination of certain purchase obligations of Peregrine, and (b) make such other agreements as are described below.
Now THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. On the Effective Date (as defined in Section 7(a) below), IBM shall provide Transition Services Assistance as described in the attached Exhibit “A”, attached hereto (the “Transition Services Assistance”).
2. On the Effective Date, IBM hereby transfers title to the twenty-one (21) servers described in Exhibit “B”, attached hereto.
