<PAGE>
2.1 Authoring Services.
2.1.1 Schedule for Provision of Authoring Services. ORGANIC shall
provide Authoring Services and Deliverables in accordance with the schedule(s)
set forth in the Authoring Services Statement(s) of Work. In connection with
Authoring Services, CUSTOMER shall deliver to ORGANIC all Customer Content
selected by CUSTOMER for incorporation into the Web Site on or before the dates
specified in the Authoring Services Statement(s) of Work. In the event CUSTOMER
fails to deliver such Customer Content in accordance with the schedule, or to

Statement of Work, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a new delivery and
fee schedule for provision of the corresponding Authoring Services by ORGANIC.
2.1.2 Formatting of Customer Content. Customer shall use reasonable
commercial efforts to deliver the Customer Content to ORGANIC in accordance with
the Production Specifications. In the event CUSTOMER does not deliver to ORGANIC
Customer Content that complies with the Production Specifications on or before
the applicable delivery date, ORGANIC shall notify CUSTOMER that the Customer
Content is non-complying and shall convert the non-complying Customer Content to
comply with the Production Specifications at a price to be agreed upon.
2.1.3 Acceptance of Deliverables. ORGANIC shall notify CUSTOMER when a
Deliverable has been completed and sent to CUSTOMER for acceptance. Notification
by e-mail shall constitute sufficient notice for this Section 2.1.3. Within
fifteen (15) days from the receipt by CUSTOMER of any Deliverable pursuant to
any Authoring Services Statement of Work, CUSTOMER shall provide ORGANIC with
written notice of any failure of such Deliverable to conform to the
specifications applicable to such Deliverable. ORGANIC and CUSTOMER shall review
the objections, and ORGANIC will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct
any non-conformities with the specifications and provide CUSTOMER with a revised
Deliverable within fifteen (15) days. CUSTOMER shall be deemed to have accepted
a Deliverable if ORGANIC does not receive written notice of CUSTOMER's
objections within fifteen (15) days of CUSTOMER's receipt of such Deliverable.
2.2 Change Orders. In the event that CUSTOMER wishes to request a material
change to any of the Services set forth in Schedule A, CUSTOMER shall submit a
"Change Order" to ORGANIC substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B.
Within five (5) business days of receipt of the Change Order, ORGANIC will
submit to CUSTOMER the revised fees, delivery schedules and other information
reflecting the impact of the additional or different Services ("Change Order
Response"); provided, however, if the requested change in Services is so
substantial that, in the reasonable judgment of ORGANIC, a complete Change Order
Response is impossible to formulate within five (5) business days, ORGANIC will
provide to Customer a schedule for formulating the Change Order Response.
Customer shall accept or reject the Change Order Response within five (5)
business days of receipt, and shall be deemed to have rejected the Change Order
Response unless CUSTOMER notifies ORGANIC of acceptance of the Change Order
Response within such five (5) business day period. ORGANIC will continue work
pursuant to the existing Schedule A, and will not be bound by any Change Order,
until the
3.
<PAGE>
applicable Change Order is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.2. ORGANIC

with respective party, the other party irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers,
and sets over exclusively to the respective party all rights, including without

party reserves no rights in such element. If the other party has any such

party an exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable

set forth above.
3.5 Proprietary Notices. All copies of the Organic Pre-existing Software
and Other Organic Materials made by CUSTOMER shall contain copyright and other
proprietary notices in the same manner in which ORGANIC incorporates such

ORGANIC's proprietary rights. CUSTOMER agrees not to
6.
<PAGE>
remove, cover or obliterate any copyright notice, trademark or other proprietary
rights notices placed by ORGANIC on or in the Organic Pre-existing Software or
the Other Organic Material.
4. PAYMENT.
4.1 Services. CUSTOMER shall pay to ORGANIC the amounts set forth in the
applicable provisions of Schedule A at the times set forth therein.
4.1.1 Authoring Services. Except for the Common Engine Development and
Retailer Front End Statements of Work described below, all future Authoring
Services will be provided on a time and materials basis or as otherwise agreed
to between the parties and specified in the applicable Authoring Services
Statement of Work. ORGANIC's current standard hourly rates are shown on Schedule
E. ORGANIC's standard hourly rates are revised annually, effective January 1 of
each year; provided, however, that any increase in such rates shall only apply
to CUSTOMER to the extent that ORGANIC has provided CUSTOMER with at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice of such increase. In any event, the new
rates will not apply to any Statement of Work which has already been signed or
performance of which has already begun. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that
the Projected Cost is simply an estimate based on the facts and circumstances
known to CUSTOMER and ORGANIC at the time the estimate is made. Certain factors,
including without limitation, changes in functionality and delivery schedules,
delays in obtaining materials from CUSTOMER, delays in obtaining approvals from
CUSTOMER, or delivery by CUSTOMER of materials that do not meet the Production
Specifications, may result in the Projected Cost being exceeded; provided,
however, that ORGANIC will notify CUSTOMER as soon as reasonably practicable
when ORGANIC expects that the Projected Cost will be exceeded. However, ORGANIC
shall have no obligation to deliver the final Deliverable or launch the Web Site
prior to full payment of all outstanding invoices.
For the GSI Common Engine Development and Retailer Front End Initiative,
ORGANIC will invoice CUSTOMER a total fixed monthly fee of [*] on the first of
each month from May 1, 1999 through September 1, 1999. All payments are due [*]
days from the invoice date except for the final Common Engine Development
payment, which is due [*] after [*]. The monthly fixed fee will be broken down
into 7 separate monthly invoices; one for the Common Engine Development, and 6
for each Retailer Front End, as follows:
GSI Common Engine Development [*]/month.
6 Retailer Front Ends ([*]/per x 6) [*]/month.
4.2 Taxes. In addition to the fees due as specified above, CUSTOMER shall
pay any and all federal, state and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty
and any other taxes which may be incurred in connection with performance of this
Agreement, except that taxes on ORGANIC's income shall be the sole
responsibility of ORGANIC.
4.3 Payments. Amounts are due [*] after receipt of invoice. CUSTOMER will
be notified if a payment has not been received within thirty (30) days of
invoice date and
7.
<PAGE>
CUSTOMER will then have a cure period of ten (10) business days to remit
payment. Payments not received within the cure period will bear interest at one
and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever is less. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
U.S. dollars.
5. LIMITED WARRANTY.
5.1 Software Warranty. ORGANIC represents and warrants to CUSTOMER that the
Organic Pre-existing Software and Customer Software furnished hereunder, when
properly installed, properly used and unmodified by CUSTOMER, will perform
substantially in accordance with the Functional Specifications. ORGANIC's
warranty shall extend for a period of [*] from the Launch Date ("Warranty
Period"). ORGANIC's sole obligation, and CUSTOMER's sole remedy, for a breach of
the warranty set forth in this Section 5.1 shall be for ORGANIC, at its own
expense, to use commercially reasonable efforts to [*] which fail to perform in
accordance with the Functional Specifications as a result of the Organic Pre-
existing Software's or Customer Software's failure to comply with this warranty.
All warranty claims shall be made in writing to ORGANIC within the Warranty
Period. CUSTOMER agrees to reimburse ORGANIC for the expense of investigating
any warranty claim made by CUSTOMER whereby the investigation reveals that the
cause of the non-performance is not covered under this Section 5.1 warranty
provision. ORGANIC's warranty obligations are solely for the benefit of
CUSTOMER, who has no authority to extend or transfer this warranty to any other
person or entity.
5.2 Disclaimer of Other Warranties. THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN
SECTION 5.1 IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY ORGANIC TO CUSTOMER
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND ORGANIC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
5.3 Encryption and Security. Unless expressly incorporated in the
Functional Specifications, ORGANIC makes no warranties and shall have no
liability in connection with the effectiveness of any encryption or security
system used by or for the Web Site.
5.4 Discontinuance or Regulation of the Internet. CUSTOMER acknowledges and
agrees that the Internet (including without limitation the World Wide Web) is a
network of private and public networks, that ORGANIC has no control over the
Internet, and that ORGANIC is therefore not liable for the discontinuance of
operation of any portion of the Internet or possible regulation of the Internet
which might restrict or prohibit the operation of the Web Site.

functionally equivalent to the Organic Pre-existing Software and Customer
Software; (ii) [*]; or (iii) if (i) is not within Organic's capability and (ii)

party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right of any third

ORGANIC Statement of Work
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Selling sporting goods merchandise on the Internet is an untapped market. In
an attempt to leverage retailer brand identity and to offer premiere
development services. CSI will provide an e-commerce solution that enables
traditional sporting goods retailers to quickly enter the Internet market. At
the core of this solution is the Common Engine. a flexible framework which
provides a robust and feature-complete c-commerce tool-set for a sporting-
goods retailer. It can be customized for a wide variety of product
categorization. front-end look and feel. and functionality needs.
The goal of the Common Engine is to produce a flexible framework for an
interface that enables the user to explore, browse. search and purchase
sporting goods online with maximum ease. Additional tools will also give
administrators accurate, immediate information about a site's performance in a
straightforward manner. Organic will develop high-level graphical user
interfaces that allow multiple audiences (merchandisers, webmasters, etc.) to
interact and view relevant statistics of a website with an unparalleled degree
of detail. This will help merchandisers make buying decisions based on users
purchasing. It will let marketers see the immediate results of recently
adjusted promotions and price points. Together, the reporting and
administration tools will close the loop between site performance and customer
conversion rate. The front-end creation of the user-experience will be handled
by teams operating independently of the Common Engine team, necessitating that
comprehensive documentation of the framework will be completed by Organic.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The Common Engine will provide functionality for two target audiences. The
primary audience is the user of the front-end retail websites. Since there
are various primary audiences for each retailer and the range of sporting
goods merchandise is so wide. the user's attributes must be generalized to
account for all possible scenarios of web purchasers. The secondary user is
the administrator of the GSI product information database and of the front-
ends. Depending on the level of involvement. both a GSI merchandiser and
retailer will need access to reporting and content-management tools. It is
expected that neither group will have an extensive knowledge of the web.
preferring a softer user-interface to manage their respective
responsibilities It is required that both audiences have Internet access.

Project Specifications
Functional Goals
Create a best-of-breed e-commerce engine designed from the ground-up to
handle a sporting goods product information database.
Create an easy-to-use path for customers to purchase products online.
Create a group of custom-tailored, point and click. high-level graphical user
interfaces for the secondary audience.
- to gauge the performance of one or more sites via reporting and content-
administration.
- to synchronize a retailer's product information database with a
retailer's website's product information database.
- to execute site-wide changes such as promotions
Develop and document a customizable framework for retailer front-ends
including- an area where retailers can host press releases. human resource
information. and other non-e-commerce-related material.
Give retailers the ability to incorporate their individual online brand
within the framework of a 051 website.
Implement a system where retailers can incorporate branded categorization of
their products.
Interactive Design Requirements
Component List
The following is a list of the basic features that are required to achieve the
functional goals. These components will allow the primary user to investigate,
learn about, select, and purchase various sporting goods online through a
variety of retail outlets. These components will also allow for easy
administration and report-viewing by the secondary audience. It is assumed that
Organic will deliver the toolkit necessary to create these components, but will
not deliver the components themselves - this is the responsibility of the front-
end developers.
Homepage
The homepage will be presented as a retailer-specific brand statement. Users
will have the optional ability to 'Sign In', where they will be presented with a
login/password and/or the ability to join. This is the quickest path for users
who want to take advantage of membership benefits (streamlined purchase path.
access to any restricted areas, etc.) The user will have access to company
information (Press Releases. Human Resources. etc.) from the homepage. The
retailer-specific global navigation will be introduced to the user. including a
quick search (keyword only). Featured products will also be displayed on the
homepage.
Product Bundles/Promotions
Featured products and seasonal promotions are products that are displayed with
additional information or with a special markup. For instance, a winter season
promotion may bundle a set of skis. boots and winter apparel for a limited time.
These related products can be bundled and offered to the user as one purchase.
rather than have them navigate through a string- of related product pages.
16.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
Standard Search
The Standard Search will allow for searching by keyword and/or on a number of
criteria such as Sport, Brand. Style and Price. An intuitive means of combining
these parameters will be provided. Keywords will be tagged to every' product
entered in the database by GSI, to allow for the richest set of search results
and minimize dead-end or zero results. Search help will be supplied.
Search Results
Search will have the option to display a list of results with thumbnails and
small descriptions linked to more in depth product descriptions. There will be
a fixed number of product results per page with a clear method of browsing
large result sets. The initial layout will be alphabetically sorted, but will
allow for user-based sorting. Items not in stock will still be displayed but
with an expected availability date and the option to view similar products that
are in stock. There will be no LPC-specific searching method (i.e. size or
color.)
Browse Category/Sub-Category/Family/Sub-Family
Category hierarchies are determined by retailer-specific indexing. These
hierarchies will be based on a default set of categories developed by
Organic/GSI from merchandiser interviews and analyses of retailer product sets.
All categories have subcategories except for collections - the number of
categories reserved for an arbitrary' grouping of products (seasonal. hot
sales, etc.). These collections are also retailer specific. and allow for a
customized browsing experience. Each category will have its own main page
displaying its respective sub-navigation and featured products relevant to the
chosen category. A user may choose to add a selected feature item to their cart
without viewing more in-depth information. Merchandisers must group newly
entered products into multiple categories and subcategories. providing for
separate browsing paths leading to the same product.
Product Page
The logical ending point for any browse or search, the product page will have
the option of displaying:
Price
Brand
Style
Image of product
Product close-up (larger image)
Size Information if applicable
Large description
Enhanced product presentation (high resolution shots) if applicable
Related Products
A mechanism for adding a product to the shopping cart.
Related information (internal) about the product.
Related Products
To encourage browsing and maximize cross-sell opportunities for GSI and its
partners all product pages will include a set of links to related products. For
example if the use has purchased a hockey mask then hockey pucks hockey sticks,
and hockey jerseys might be displayed. These related product listings will be
defined by GSI merchandisers.
17.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
Product Comparison
The user will have the ability to compare two products so as to make a better,
more informed purchase decision from a product page. GSI merchandisers will pre-
select products from which to draw comparisons. The compare products
functionality will also include a mechanism for adding products to the shopping
cart.
Shopping Cart
Each product that a user selects will appear as a list item n the shopping cart.
The shopping cart product list may contain the name, size (if applicable),
options. quantity, and price of each item; the user will have the option to
change the quantity and/or delete the product from their shopping cart. The
total price of the items in the cart will be presented at all times within the
cart. Users will have the opportunity to continue shopping or proceed directly
to the checkout portion of the transactional process.
Checkout
This series of transactional pages termed 'checkout' refers to the path that is
initiated once the user chooses to make a purchase from their shopping cart. At
the beginning of the checkout process. users who are not already logged-in will
have the option of logging-in. If the user is a member. they will link straight
to a confirmation page with the option of going back to change any information
(this is essentially one-click ordering). Non-registered users will be
encouraged to register so that their shipping and payment information can be
stored and used to streamline future purchases on the site.
In order to improve a user's understanding of the process. clearly defined steps
will be indicated with the user's current position in the process highlighted.
These include.'
Name and address information
Shipping method
Payment method (with Discount Codes)
Information verification (with tax and shipping and handling costs)
Confirmation
Any personal data captured from registration should pre-fill on forms. By
necessity, an inventory check must be performed before confirmation of the
order, and the results returned to the user. If an item is out of stock, the
system will return the range of time the item is most likely to be in-stock. The
purchase order information will be sent to a fulfillment partner for credit card
verification, order processing, fulfillment, and settlement.
Substitute/Similar Products
In the event that a product is out of stock when the user adds it to the
shopping cart. the system will return a list of similar products that the user
may choose from. It is necessary to make sure that the similar product returned
is in stock, otherwise a user will enter a perpetual loop. This feature depends
entirely on tagging supplied by the GSI merchandiser. Accurate tagging will be
crucial to make this feature relevant to users.
One-Click Ordering
One-Click or Express ordering refers to the ability for registered users to
choose a product and complete a transaction to a pre-defined address and payment
method. One-click ordering must be turned on and users must already be logged-in
to take advantage of this feature.
Email Notification
After an order is completed. a confirmation email will be sent to the user of
the fulfillment partner. This will restate the items bought. the order total and
the confirmation number A URL will be supplied to track a user's order. When
an item has shipped the fulfillment partner will send a shipping confirmation
email. This email will provide delivery details such as why certain products
were shipped separately and the associated shipping and handling costs
Promotional emails (advertising, customer retention etc.) will be handled by a
3rd party.
18.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
Discount Codes
During the checkout process, users may enter a discount code to affect the cost
of products in their cart (i.e. subtract a percentage of the total order cost).
Users may also enter the site through a referred URL that acts as a discount
code for the entire site. Users with one-click ordering enabled will not be
allowed to enter discount codes.
Order Tracking
Users can enter their confirmation number to receive an itemized listing of
their current orders. Since orders from multiple suppliers are likely to ship at
different times, it is likely that a single "order" will have multiple shipping
information. A link will be supplied to a shipper tracking system for immediate
lookup of shipping details. The fulfillment partner will supply all this
information.
User Login/Registration
Users will be encouraged to sign-up with the site to personalize and streamline
their purchasing experience (targeted specials, one-click ordering, etc.) as
well as the site experience. Some areas of the site. such as "edit user account,
will be restricted to registered users. The design of the site will not mandate
signing-in, but will present the option on the homepage and those areas where
signing-in is beneficial/mandatory; to the user. Logging in requires a password
and a user ID (email). A user cannot share log-in information between different
retailers' sites unless the user has voluntarily signed-on with another specific
retailer. At any time, a use-. may Log Out so that future users of the same host
computer may not use the account holder's information for purchases.
User Profile Management
The User Profile Management area allows users to access their personal
information and specify:
Addresses with associated names (Address Book)
Password
Input confirmation number to view order tracking
Turn One-Click ordering on/off
Privacy and security information will be clearly detailed to allay users'
concerns.

This document assumes the reader is familiar with Organic process. The
Engineering Requirements is first in the Organic technical workflow 2.1 series.
For information on specific functionality descriptions please consult the
Interactive Design Requirements document For further information on client-side
(browser) technical information, please consult the Production Specifications
document. Both of these documents are part of the Discovery Documents.
OVERVIEW
--------
The GSI Common Engine is software that will allow sporting goods retailers to
very quickly develop electronic retailing web sites built on top of the Common
Engine. The Common Engine will provide a framework upon which to build an
electronic retailing web site that allows base electronic retailing
functionality and ties into the systems of a fulfillment partner.
Because the Common Engine will be used by many sporting goods retailers it must
be as flexible as possible. It will be designed to handle the vast amount of
different products sold by the sporting goods retailers. To this end the
products in the GSI Common Engine will be database driven, searchable, and
easily updateable.
20.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
[Picture]
Component Overview
Browser- The browser is what the GSI customer uses to communicate with the GSI
web site.
Apache Web Server- The web server communicates with the customer's browser. It
does this by using HTTP over a TCP/IP network, and accepts data from the user's
browser and returns HTML pages to the browser that are displayed for the user.
It also communicates with the commerce server through the use of the connection
module embedded in the web server.
Dynamo Application Server- The application server performs the business logic
for the system. The application server will be used to perform all functionality
except for fulfillment functions. The application server will communicate with
fulfillment systems by using an SSL connection. Data returned from the
fulfillment systems will be incorporated into the application server.
Transaction Processing Database- The transaction processing database will be
used to store persistent information
Fulfillment Systems- The fulfillment systems are used to do things such as
processing orders, checking inventory levels tracking orders and verifying user
credit card and address data

PRELIMINARY SERVER/NETWORK DIAGRAM
[Picture]
A user connects to the web server over the Internet. Certain parts of this
communication, like the transmission of credit card information, are
encrypted and use the HTTPS protocol.
The web system consists of a web server application server transaction
processing database and data warehouse.
The web system will connect to the fulfillment over the Internet. An
encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) should be set up to keep this
information secure.
22.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
The development environment will be located on Organic's network The staging
and production environments will be located on the hosting facility's network.
The staging system will be a duplicate of the production system. The production
system will only be updated by pushing new functionality from the staging system
to the production system. The development system will be used to program new
functionality for the web site.
EXTERNAL SYSTEMS DETAIL
Fulfillment Systems
GSI has chosen as its fulfillment pannier. PFS. On 5/l5/99, PF5 supplied Organic
with an API specifying how the Common Engine product database communicates with
PFS' inventory checking. shipping, and payment processing- systems.
Manufacturer and Retailer Data Feed
Organic will develop a specification for a manufacturer's data feed and a
retailer's data feed to which each manufacturer and retailer will develop their
data feeds.
(a) DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Connectivity will be established between Organic and GSI and between Organic and
the fulfillment partner (PFS) through a virtual private network (VPN).
SOLUTION CONSTRAINTS
Privacy and cookie policies- The GSI engine may use cookies to store state
information. but will not require them. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol,
meaning no past or future information is sent with each communication between
the web browser and web server, cookies are used to identify users so that state
information can be stored on the web server and overcome the limitations of
HTTP.
There are no other specific constraints on the engineering solution.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
------------------------
Pages will return in 8 seconds or less over a TI connection.
RELIABILITY REQUIREMENTS
Target Mean Time Between Failure and Mean Time To Repair- These requirements and
fail-over requirements will be determined during the planning phase. It is
assumed that these will be high and low respectively.
Backup/recovery objectives- Specifics will be determined during the planning
phase At a minimum, backups of data will be performed daily.
INFRASTRUCTURE/OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------------
Administrative requirements- Access to the servers can be through a secure,
encrypted login over public networks (like SSH). or through a direct leased line
terminal connection into the server.
Hosting facility requirements- The hosting facility used for the GSI Common
Engine site will be manned and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Database. system, and application administrators will be available via pager.
The facility will have redundant power supplies. The hosting facility's internal
network will be fault tolerant. and the GSI Common Engine web system will have
connections to this internal network. Fault tolerance requirements and GSI
Common Engine hardware will be determined during the planning phase.
Organic will develop a Deployment Plan that will detail how to setup and
maintain the system.
QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
A test plan for the entire system will be developed in conjunction with
GSI. Quality assurance occurs during the entire development process, and
consists of. but is not limited to. regression testing. load testing, and code
reviews. A Q/A plan will be submitted to GSI outlining the Q/A steps to be taken
during all phases of the engine development process.
24.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
RULES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Organic's technical role will be designing and implementing the interfaces and
commerce abilities for the engine. During the planning phases, Organic and GSI
will work together to determine site hosting, ongoing maintenance procedures.
and site operations responsibilities as well as defining functionality with more
granularity. Organic will have authority over the fulfillment partner. GSI will
be responsible for providing correct data feeds from manufacturers and
retailers.
RISKS
The GSI engine will have redundant web servers. application servers. and
database servers.
(i) SECURITY
Since the engine is an electronic commerce web site, security is a primary
concern. A Solaris platform will be used to keep the web site system as secure
as possible. Solaris allows easy removal of non-essential services. Solaris
allows administrative access to the servers to be restricted by' a secure shell
or direct terminal connection. Solaris allows auditing of access to the system.
Solaris allows software that performs a single use password system.
Credit card and other sensitive data will be encrypted before being transmitted.
In addition to securing the individual servers used in the system, a firewall
will be used.
GSI will provide Organic with their security guidelines, which Organic will use
in conjunction with its own security' procedures.
a) THIRD PARTY INTEGRATION ISSUES
Fulfillment- A separate fulfillment RFP was developed for potential fulfillment
partners. PFS has been selected as the fulfillment partner for the Common
Engine. and Organic will customize the data model to comply with PFS' API.
LinkShare- (or equivalent) affiliate program component will be integrated into
the system.
ASSUMPTIONS
1. Data feeds from manufacturers and retailers will be delivered in a
format specified by Organic. most likely the JDA retail format of purchase order
lists. Deviation from this format will result in increased development costs and
time.
25.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
2 The fulfillment partner will have the capability to do address verification.
shipping and handling cost calculation shipping time calculation inventory
level checking, back-orderability checking, order processing, order
tracking, order returns, and e-mail confirmation messages and have the
ability to communicate this information to Organic and customers. This will
be done in real time, not batched.
3 Any fulfillment related e-mail messages will be sent and administered by the
fulfillment partner. Organic will not be responsible for any e-mail
messaging system.
4 LinkShare (or equivalent) return functionality depends on the ability of the
fulfillment partner to support returns.
5 The fulfillment pannier will be able to set up VPNs into the GSI web Site.
6 Reporting will be covered in the functional specifications developed during
the planning phase.
7 Organic will not be implementing Accounting functionality.
---
8 The Common Engine team will construct frontend functional templates which
the front end teams will reference for construction of front end
implementation.
9 Shipping locations are constrained by the fulfillment partner.
10 Product data and other data will require periodic cleansing. archiving and
overall monitoring, which will be performed by GSI.
11 Off the shelf software costs, production software costs and licensing fees
will be borne by the client.
12 Staging and production hardware, software, bandwidth and rack space will be
borne by the client. Staging and production hardware will be located at the
hosting partner's data center.
13 A privacy policy will be formulated during the planning phase for which GSI
will be responsible.
14 No localized versions of the web site will be performed at this time.
15 Only a mod-ID check will be performed on credit cards.
16 Manufacturers will provide product data in 832 EDI or other standardized
format
17 Products from manufacturers will have UPCs. and these UPCs will be unique.
18 Retailers will be able to identify products by UPCs.
19 The home page will be partially hand coded. with specific components.
Additionally, there will be homepage specific administratable items: like
product display, announcements: and links from those announcements within
the site. (similar to a category page administration).
20 Bundled products will be assigned unique "phantom" SKUs by GSI. A bundle
may be constructed with a collection of UPCs. This means that products with
multiple UPCs due to size and or color variations will not be supported in
terms of being able to select attributes. For different size and colors
within a bundle an individual bundle must be created for each variation (ie.
Large blue bundle, or medium tennis bundle etc., a typical product mix of
which would be a medium gripped tennis raquet with a can of balls, and a
tennis bag.)

Production Requirements
The following is a summary of the Production Requirements. For a more detailed
explanation, please read the Production Requirements Document attached.
OVERVIEW
--------
Production Requirements represent an agreement between Global Sports Interactive
(GSI) and Organic regarding:
1. Design Requirements for GSI Common Engine
2. Submission of assets to Organic
Through Design Requirements, we will outline parameters for end-user hardware,
software, networking and presentation that the site will adhere to. Design
Requirements include a list of browsers for which the site will be tested for
quality assurance. The Submission Assets guidelines describe the appropriate
methods for submitting digital and non-digital as sets to Organic.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Here is a summary of the design requirements. For a more detailed explanation
the list, the attached Production Requirements document include definitions of
each and some examples which illustrate our arrival at these values.
Standard Viewable Area: 615 x 500
Monitor Resolution: 800 x 600 and greater
Maximum Page Size: 50k, no page exceeding 80k
Connection Speed. 28.8 Kbps and greater
Graphic Formats: G1F89, GIF89a. JPEG
Interactive Elements: HTML, JavaScript 1.1, Dynamo,
dHTML
Standard Viewable Area
This item specifies the width and height of the "above-the-fold" screenful of
information a user should be presented with when arriving at a given page on the
site. Since vertical scrolling allows the user to frame the page presentation
vertically. the "height" number only specifies an ideal arrival state and
provides a positioning point for important information on the page. The "width"
number specifies a standard page width for the site. This relates to the Monitor
Resolution item below.
28.
<PAGE>
ORGANIC Statement of Work
Our recommendation is based on the broad user-base being targeted. including
those surfing from home We recommend a standard viewable area of 61 5x500
pixels. Horizontally, 6 15 to allow for the gutter and window frame pixels added
by most browsers on the right and left. Vertically, 500 to allow for, for
example, the gutter, buttons, location field, window frame and Windows task bar
pixels at the Lop and bottom. Vertical scrolling will be limited to no more than
two and a half screens.
Strategic Requirements (Attached - Schedule D-1)
Measurement and Analysis
Reporting for the Common Engine. its various retailers, its buyers and members.
both in the aggregate and individually is critical in analyzing the flow of
products through the Common Engine and how revenue is managed and inventory is
maintained, promoted. placed and reordered. Thee are three separate reporting
mechanisms necessary to collect all of the data which will provide GSI with a
robust profile of consumer activity on the various front ends. as well as for
shared product inventory I) Reporting based upon the Common Engine database
product contents and the flow of those products through the various front-ends.
2) Reporting based upon the web log of users browsing the site. page views,
session lengths. IP originations. etc.; and 3) Reporting based on the actual
inventory sold, how it was shipped what credit cards were used. etc.
Organic will be responsible for item number I, above. It will provide an
interface for 051 administrators and number crunchers to retrieve information
based on aggregate and individual product sales. aggregate and individual order
history, category and promotion performance, aggregate and individual user
history data, and basic aggregate user and registered member information.
Organic will also enable the database to be assessed by Accrue Measurement and
Analysis software. Accrue provides its own interface for report results and
report queries.
The fulfillment partner, PFS, will be responsible for providing 051 specific
information based upon inventory depletion and product sales statistics and
information at an absolute level.
Measurement and Analysis will be included in the functionality of the
administration of the Common Engine. Reporting will have a simple, clean
interface. which will enable the administrator to generate several reports based
upon the Common Engine product and user activity.
Consumer Research
GSI will be responsible for all consumer research related to the analysis and
research behind promotional placement and inventory based decisions.
