Item 4. Description of Securities

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has included in its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Bylaws of the Registrant require it to (i) indemnify the officers and directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and (ii) advance expenses to the officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers containing provisions that provide for the indemnification of such director or officer to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities for which the appropriate court deems indemnification to be improper), to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they may be indemnified, and to obtain and maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance if deemed to be advisable. The Registrant believes that these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertaking

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold upon the termination of the offering.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnity provisions incorporated by reference in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(the "Company") of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the offering of up to an aggregate of 2,407,572 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), pursuant to its Amended and Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan and 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the "Plans"). In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we deem necessary as a basis for this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof. On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Plans and the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable (except as to shares issued pursuant to certain deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full). We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, Cooley Godward LLP By: /s/ Jodie M. Bourdet -------------------------------- Jodie M. Bourdet EX-23.1 3 f03239exv23w1.txt EXHIBIT 23.1 EXHIBIT 23.1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT The Board of Directors PeopleSoft, Inc.: We consent to the incorporation by reference in this registration statement on Form S-8 of PeopleSoft, Inc. of our report dated January 29, 2004, except as to the 1st and 5th paragraphs of the section Customer Assurance Program in Note 7, which is as of February 14, 2004, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of PeopleSoft, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related financial statement schedule, which report appears in the December 31, 2003, annual report on Form 10-K of PeopleSoft, Inc. Our report refers to our audit of the adjustments that were applied and disclosures added to revise the 2001 consolidated financial statements, as more fully described in Notes 15 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements other than with respect to such adjustments and disclosures. Our report refers to the adoption of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. /s/ KPMG LLP Mountain View, California November 9, 2004 EX-23.2 4 f03239exv23w2.txt EXHIBIT 23.2 EXHIBIT 23.2 NOTICE REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP, INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS On June 6, 2002, the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that on that date it had terminated its relationship with Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as its independent public accountants and engaged KPMG LLP to serve as its independent public accountants for fiscal year 2002. The Registrant's consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, which are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, were audited by Arthur Andersen. Because Arthur Andersen is no longer licensed to practice public accounting in the State of California, the Registrant has been unable to obtain Arthur Andersen's consent to incorporate by reference in this Registration Statement their report with respect to those audited financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), permits the Registrant to file this Registration Statement without such consent from Arthur Andersen. The absence of such consent may limit recovery by investors on certain claims, including the inability of investors to assert claims against Arthur Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained, or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated, in those audited financial statements. In addition, the ability of Arthur Andersen to satisfy any claims (including claims arising from Arthur Andersen's provision of auditing and other services to the Registrant) may be limited.

The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an Option Exchange Program, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated); provided, however, that Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan, whether upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan." 2.
