                                  THE AGREEMENT

1.       SCOPE OF SERVICE

         1.1 EXISTING AGREEMENTS. If Software is currently being provided by

         3.2 INVOICES. Supplier shall prepare the invoices as set forth in

         3.3      LICENSE FEE.

                  (A) In consideration of the license granted to Customer under
this Software Licensing Agreement upon the execution of an appropriate
Transaction Agreement and in consideration of the Services to be performed by
Supplier hereunder, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in the
applicable Transaction Agreement, Customer shall pay Supplier for each purchase
made under this Software Licensing Agreement amounts determined as follows,
which amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Software
Licensing Agreement:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
            Payment Event             Percentage of Total License Fee Payable
            -------------             ---------------------------------------
<S>                                  <C>
            Delivery                                    25.0
            Installation                                25.0
            Preliminary Testing                         25.0
            Acceptance Date                             25.0
</TABLE>

                  (B) The license fee for each Product is calculated by
multiplying the number of Product(s) licenses purchased by the purchase price
for each Product as set forth in the applicable Transaction Agreement. The total
license fee for each purchase is calculated by adding the individual Product
license fees.

         3.4 MAINTENANCE INVOICES. Invoices for maintenance will be delivered to
Customer by Supplier no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of
the Warranty Period and each subsequent maintenance period that is offered on an
annual basis pursuant to Article 11 of this Software Licensing Agreement.
Failure to deliver said invoice at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration
date will have the effect of extending the current warranty or maintenance
period to sixty (60) days after receipt of Supplier's invoice by Customer and
all notification periods for renewal of maintenance will be extended for thirty
(30) days after receipt of Supplier's invoice.

         3.5 TRADE-IN CREDIT. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the
applicable Transaction Agreement, at any time during the three (3) year period
commencing with the Acceptance Date, Customer may elect to return the Licensed
Software and any Equipment or other Products to Supplier for a credit that may
be applied against future acquisitions of Software or other Products or Services
from Supplier. This credit will be calculated by reducing the original license
fee by one-thirty-sixth (1/36) for each month or partial month elapsing between
the Acceptance Date and Customer's return of the Licensed Software to Supplier.

         3.6 CONVERSION. For the purpose of changing the Licensed Software from
one (1) Operating System environment to a different Operating System
environment, Supplier will extend the rights of the applicable license to the
new Operating System environment, on a month-by-month

basis, during the Conversion Period by having Customer pay a per-month fee not
to exceed two percent (2%) of the per-annum (or equivalent) license fee for the
new Licensed Software. After the Conversion Period, Customer may use the
Licensed Software on the new Operating System without further charge, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable Transaction Agreement.

4.       LICENSE

designate whether the Licensed Software is to be provided pursuant to a Site
Software License, a CPU Software License, or a Corporate Software License, each
as defined later in this Section 4.1. If the applicable Transaction Agreement

Software may be used at the Licensed Sites designated in the applicable
Transaction Agreement and Customer may only copy the Licensed Software as
necessary for use and dissemination at the Licensed Site and for archival,

necessary to complete the transfer. The Customer shall notify the Supplier if
the Licensed Software is being used at a Site other than the designated Licensed
Site.

                  (B) With respect to each CPU Software License, the Licensed
Software may be used on any Designated CPU, and Customer may only copy the
Licensed Software as necessary for archival, maintenance or back-up purposes. If
Customer desires to run parallel operations in the process of transferring
operations from one (1) Designated CPU to another Designated CPU, Customer may
operate the Licensed Software on two (2) Designated CPU's for the period of time
reasonably necessary to complete the transfer. The Customer shall notify the
Supplier if the Licensed Software is being transferred from one Designated CPU
to another Designated CPU.

                  (C) With respect to each Corporate Software License, the
Licensed Software may be used at any Site and on any items of Equipment and
Customer may make and use unlimited copies of the Licensed Software.

Customer and who are authorized and enabled by Customer to access and utilize
the Licensed Software (Authorized User).

         7.4 INSTALLATION BY CUSTOMER. If installation is to be performed by
Customer, the Licensed Software shall be deemed to be installed when all
programs, program libraries (supplied as components of the Licensed Software)
and user interfaces are copied to, and initialized on, the appropriate CPU and
demonstrated as executable by having Customer invoke the primary functions of
each major component on the Platform. The installation procedures of this
Section 7.4 are in addition to all Acceptance Tests required by Article 9 of
this Software Licensing Agreement and by any applicable Transaction Agreement.

8.       DIVESTITURE OF A RELATED ENTITY

         8.1 USE OF LICENSED SOFTWARE BY DIVESTED RELATED ENTITY WITHOUT CHARGE.
In the event Customer reduces its interest in a Related Entity below the level
set forth in the definition thereof, or otherwise loses the ability to control
the day-to-day operations of the Related Entity (Divested Related Entity),
Customer may, upon prompt notice to Supplier, in Customer's sole discretion,
with no additional charge to Customer or Divested Related Entity, allow the
Divested Related Entity to temporarily (up to one hundred eighty (180) days)
continue to use the Licensed Software on Divested Related Entity's Equipment, or
utilize the Licensed Software on Customer's Equipment to provide benefit to the
Divested Related Entity for the purpose of facilitating an orderly transition of
such Divested Related Entity to either become part of another organization or to
achieve an independent status, provided that: (i) such use does not exceed the
use allowed under this Software Licensing Agreement and any applicable
Transaction Agreement for the Related Entity; and (ii) such Related Entity, in
its sole discretion, either executes appropriate Transaction Agreement(s) with
Supplier with terms and conditions similar to those contained in the applicable
extant Transaction Agreement or agrees in writing to be bound by applicable
Transaction Agreement(s) in force at such time.

         8.2 USE OF LICENSED SOFTWARE BY DIVESTED RELATED ENTITY WITH CHARGE.
Supplier agrees that the Divested Related Entity may continue to use the
Licensed Software on its own Equipment for up to one (1) year following the
transition period by paying the then-current standard maintenance fee and such
other license fees as otherwise payable by Customer to Supplier for the one (1)
year period. After such period, such Divested Related Entity shall either
acquire its own license on terms substantially similar to the terms of this
Software Licensing Agreement, or discontinue use of the Licensed Software.

9.       ACCEPTANCE TESTING

         9.1 LIVE ENVIRONMENT TESTING. As soon as practicable after
installation, Customer may, in its sole discretion, begin utilizing the Licensed
Software in a live environment on the Platform. Upon completion of Phase Three
below, the Licensed Software shall be deemed finally accepted (Acceptance Date).

         9.2 CORRECTION OF SPECIFICATION NON-CONFORMITIES. Any Specification
Non-Conformities revealed during any phase of the Acceptance Testing, as set
forth below (or in connection with any preliminary productive use of the
Licensed Software by Customer) shall be promptly corrected by Supplier (and
appropriate documentation for such correction produced and delivered to Customer
within thirty (30) days of such correction).

         9.3 ACCEPTANCE TESTING. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the
Transaction Agreement, upon completion of installation, Supplier and Customer
shall perform Acceptance Testing of all Licensed Software in the following three
(3) phases. The Acceptance Testing requirements of this Section 9.3 also apply
to substitute, replacement and conversion Products that are acquired by Customer
after the Licensed Software has passed earlier Acceptance Testing.

                  (A) Supplier shall initially perform its standard test
procedures for Customer's personnel and shall certify to Customer in writing all
components and each applicable Module are operating in accordance with the
applicable Specifications. In the event the Supplier is unable to, or does not,
so certify to Customer within thirty (30) calendar days from the Installation
Date, the System and any applicable Module will be deemed not to have
successfully completed this phase of the Acceptance Testing.

                  (B) With the advice and assistance of Supplier's
representatives, Customer will operate the System for five (5) business days,
using all Software furnished by the Supplier necessary for the Licensed Software
to function as specified in this Software Licensing Agreement, to perform:

                           (i) the Licensed Software's routine business
transactions in accordance with the Specifications;

                           (ii) transactions performed during pre-acceptance
testing, benchmark or other demonstration included, referenced, or incorporated
into the Acceptance Tests;

                           (iii) such other transactions as may be specified in
the Acceptance Tests (this Phase Two will be the Preliminary Acceptance
Testing); and

                           (iv) in the event the System fails to perform all
such transactions, or fails to run the Licensed Software, in accordance with
applicable Specifications and within two percent (2%) of applicable benchmark or
other demonstration results stated in the Acceptance Test, for a period of five
(5) consecutive business days, Customer shall operate the System for additional
consecutive business days until the System so performs such transactions and
runs the Licensed Software for a period of five (5) consecutive business days.
In the event such failure continues in whole or in part for a period of more
than thirty (30) calendar days from the Installation Date, the System and any
applicable Module will be deemed not to have successfully completed this phase
of the Acceptance Testing.

                  (C) With the advice and assistance of Supplier's
representatives, Customer will operate the System, using all Licensed Software
furnished by Supplier or otherwise specified in this Software Licensing
Agreement, to determine whether the System and each Module of the Licensed
Software meet the Effectiveness Level.

                  (1) Performance Period.

                           The Performance Period shall begin on the date the
System successfully completes Phase Two of the Acceptance Testing (Preliminary
Acceptance) and shall end when the System and each Module have met the standard
of performance for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days by operating in
conformity with the applicable Specifications, at an Effectiveness Level of
ninety-nine percent (99%) or more.

                           In the event the System or any Module thereof fails
to meet an Effectiveness Level of ninety-nine percent (99%) after ninety (90)
days from the Installation Date, the System, and any applicable Module, will be
deemed not to have successfully completed this phase of the Acceptance Testing.

                  (2) Effectiveness Level.

                           The Effectiveness Level for the System or Component
shall be computed by dividing the Operational Use Time (as defined below) of the
System or Module by the sum of that time plus System or Module Failure Downtime.

                           Operational Use Time for Acceptance Testing of the
System or Module is defined as the accumulated time during which the applicable
System or Module is in actual operation. During Phase Three of Acceptance
Testing, a minimum of one hundred (100) hours of Operational Use Time with
productive or simulated work will be required as a basis for computation of the
Effectiveness Level. In the event the actual Operational Use Time is less than
one hundred (100) hours, the initial thirty (30) consecutive day period will be
extended until such minimum period of use is reached. In the event the actual
Operational Use Time is in excess of one hundred (100) hours, such actual time
will be used for the computation of the Effectiveness Level.

                           System Failure Downtime is defined as the accumulated
time during which the applicable System or Module is inoperable due to Product
failure. Downtime for each incident during the Performance Period (as set forth
above) shall be measured from the time Supplier is notified of failure until the
failure is corrected by Supplier, such correction is verified by Customer, and
the System or Module returns to its prior Effectiveness Level, exclusive of
actual initial response time required by Supplier's maintenance personnel, not
in excess of one (1) hour per day on the day such maintenance service is
requested.

                           System Failure Downtime shall not include any down or
inoperable time that Supplier can demonstrate is a result of: (i) Equipment
malfunctions; (ii) failure to comply with recommended Equipment Specifications
set forth in the applicable Transaction Agreement; and (iii) failure to comply
with environmental Specifications.

                           Operational Use Time and System Failure Downtime
shall be measured in hours and whole minutes or the decimal equivalents thereof.
