representatives, agents, attorneys, investors, shareholders, administrators,
affiliates, predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (the "Company"),
and Vince Morris, his/her heirs, executors, representatives and assigns
("Employee").

        WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by the Company;

        WHEREAS, the Employee's employment with the Company will terminate on
the date set forth herein;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the
Company and Employee (collectively referred to as the "Parties") hereby agree as
follows:

        1.    Termination.    The Company and Employee acknowledge and agree
that Employee's separation from the Company is effective March 1, 2002 (the
"Termination Date").

        2.    Consideration.    In consideration for Employee's release of
claims set forth below and other obligations under this Agreement, the Company
and Employee agree as follows:

(a)Severance Pay in the amount of twelve months' of your targeted total annual
compensation, totaling $300,000, less applicable withholdings, payable over the
next 12 months in alignment with our QRS pay periods, after the Effective Date
of this Agreement.

(b)If Employee elects COBRA coverage, the Company will pay for the first twelve
(12) months of COBRA coverage.

        Employee acknowledges and agrees that but for his execution of this
Agreement, he would not otherwise be entitled to the benefits described in
paragraph 2(a) and 2(b) above.

        3.    Stock Option.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that any
unvested stock options and/or restricted stock presently issued and outstanding
will cease to vest on Termination Date. Employee agrees that he shall have no
further rights to any shares which remain unvested as of Termination Date.

        4.    No Other Payments Due.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that
he/she has received all salary, accrued vacation, bonuses, or other such sums
due to Employee other than amounts to be paid and benefits provided pursuant to
Section 2 of this Agreement. In light of the payment by the Company of all wages
due, or to become due to the Employee, the Parties further acknowledge and agree
that California Labor Code section 206.5 is not applicable to the Parties
hereto. That section provides in pertinent part as follows:

No employer shall require the execution of any release of any claim or right on
account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance on wages to be
earned, unless payment of such wages has been made.

        5.    Employee Release of Claims.    In consideration for the
obligations of both parties under this Agreement, Employee hereby fully and
forever releases the Company from any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action
relating to any matters of any kind, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, that he/she may possess arising from any omissions, acts or facts
that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement
including, without limitation:

(a)any and all claims relating to or arising from Employee's employment
relationship with the Company and termination of that relationship;

(b)any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee's right to
purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; breach of contract,
both express and implied; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
both express and implied; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional
distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional
interference with contract or prospective economic advantage and defamation;

(d)any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute,
including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the California Fair Employment
and Housing Act;

(e)any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to
employment or employment discrimination; and

(f)any and all claims for attorney's fees and costs.

Employee agrees that the release set forth in the section shall be and will
remain in effect in all respects as a complete and general release as to the
matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under
this Agreement nor does it abrogate any rights of Employee pursuant to
California Labor Code section 2802.

        6.    Waiver of Unknown or Future Claims.    Employee represents that
he/she is not aware of any claim other than the claims that are released by this
Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he/she is familiar with the provisions of
California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS/HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM/HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS/HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.

        Employee, being aware of such code section, agrees to waive any rights
either party may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common
law principles of similar effect.

        7.    Nondisclosure of Confidential and Proprietary
Information.    Employee agrees that he/she shall continue to maintain the
confidentiality of all confidential and propriety information of the Company as
provided by the agreement regarding confidential information and ownership of
inventions (the "Confidentiality Agreement") between the Company and the
Employee. Employee agrees that at all times hereafter, in accordance with the
terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable state and federal law,
Employee shall not divulge, furnish or make available to any party any
confidential information, trade secrets, patents, patent applications, price
decisions or determinations, inventions, customers, proprietary information or
other intellectual property rights of the Company, until after such time as such
information has become publicly known otherwise than by act of collusion of
Employee. Employee further agrees that for a 12-month period commencing on the
Termination Date, he/she will not solicit, recruit, or induce any employee of
QRS Corporation to terminate or alter his/her employment or consulting
relationship with the Company. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that
he/she has returned or will have returned all the Company's property and
confidential and proprietary information in his/her possession to the Company as
of the Termination Date.

        8.    Breach of this Agreement.    Employee acknowledges that breach of
the confidential and proprietary information provision contained in Section 8 of
this Agreement would cause the Company to sustain irreparable harm from such
breach, and, therefore, Employee agrees that in addition to any other remedies
which the Company may have for any breach of this Agreement or otherwise,
including termination of the Company's obligations to provide benefits to
Employee as described in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled to obtain equitable relief including specific performance

provision.

shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to
enforce the arbitration award. The Parties further agree that the prevailing
party in any such proceeding shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs. The parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury in
regard to claims arising out of this Agreement or the enforcement of this
Agreement.
