Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Employer”), and Dan Barnea, an
individual resident of Neve Monosson, Israel (the “Executive”). The Employer and
the Executive are each a “party” and are together “parties” to this Amendment.
     WHEREAS, the parties have previously entered into an Employment Agreement

provided for hereunder and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be
legally bound, agree as follows, effective as of the Amendment Date:
     1. Section 2.2 of the Agreement shall be deleted and the following shall be
substituted therefor:
         “2.2 EMPLOYMENT PERIOD
   Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the term of the Executive’s
employment under this Agreement will commence upon the Amendment Date and shall
continue in effect through the third anniversary of the Amendment Date (the
“Employment Period”); provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of
Section 6, commencing on November 2, 2003 and on each day thereafter, the
Employment Period shall be automatically extended for one additional day unless
the Employer shall give written notice to Executive that the Employment Period
shall cease to be so extended, in which event the Employment Period shall
terminate on the third anniversary of the date such notice is given. The
Employment Period may be further extended by mutual agreement of the parties.”
