                            FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE


I.       PARTIES AND DATE.

         This First Amendment to Lease (the "Amendment") dated May 10, 2000,
is by and between THE IRVINE COMPANY ("Landlord"), and NEWGEN RESULTS
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").

II.      RECITALS.

         On October 22, 1999, Landlord and Tenant entered into a lease ("Lease")
for space in a building located at 9449 Carroll Park Drive, Suite 100, San

         Landlord and Tenant each desire to modify the Lease to extend the Lease
Term, adjust the Basic Rent, and make such other modifications as are set forth
in "III. MODIFICATIONS" next below.

III.     MODIFICATIONS.

         A. BASIC LEASE PROVISIONS. The Basic Lease Provisions are hereby
amended as follows:

                  1. Item 5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and substituted
                  therefor shall be the following:

                           "5. Lease Term: The Term of this Lease shall expire
                           at midnight on April 30, 2001."

                  2. Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following:

                           "Basic Rent: Commencing February 1, 2001, the Basic
                           Rent shall be Thirty Seven Thousand One Hundred
                           Seventy Dollars ($37,170.00) per month, based on $.90
                           per rentable square foot.

                           Basic Rent is subject to adjustment as follows:

                           Commencing April 1, 2001, the Basic Rent shall be
                           Seventy Four Thousand Three Hundred Forty Dollars
                           ($74,340.00) per month, based on $1.80 per rentable
                           square foot."

         B. RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Section 3.3 RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE
of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall have no further force
or effect.

         C. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that the lease of the
Premises pursuant to this Amendment shall be in an "as-is" basis without further
obligation on Landlord's part as to improvements whatsoever.

between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the modifications set forth in "III.
MODIFICATIONS" above and can be changed only by a writing signed by Landlord and
Tenant.

         C. COUNTERPARTS. If this Amendment is executed in counterparts, each is
hereby declared to be an original; all, however, shall constitute but one and
the same amendment. In any

action or proceeding, any photographic, photostatic, or other copy of this
Amendment may be introduced into evidence without foundation.

         D. DEFINED TERMS. All words commencing with initial capital letters in
this Amendment and defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning in this

or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment on behalf of the
corporation or partnership and that this Amendment is binding upon the
