2)             ePortfolio Implementation.  Customer hereby agrees to pay eCollege a one-time implementation fee of [***], ( [***] applied against Customer’s Service Credit, with the balance of [***] due and payable upon [***]), for two ePortfolio structure implementations by eCollege (additional ePortfolio structure implementations, as may be needed to support Customer’s students, must be purchased separately).  This implementation fee, for eCollege’s standard setup and implementation services for ePortfolio, includes up to [***] hours of consulting and training (travel and expenses not included).  This implementation fee does not include any work necessary to convert Customer from an existing portfolio solution or to migrate existing portfolio students to eCollege’s ePortfolio product.  Customer hereby commits to schedule the implementation of ePortfolio as soon as possible following the effective date of this Addendum, however, Customer understands and acknowledges that the exact date and timing of implementation activities will depend upon the scheduling and availability of applicable eCollege personnel and other resources.  All training and implementation hours over those allocated above must be pre-approved by Customer and will be invoiced separately by eCollege.  Any pre-approved travel and expenses incurred by eCollege in association with training and implementation activities must be reimbursed by Customer upon invoicing from eCollege.
