THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY OF ACTIVE FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY

injury (including death) allegedly caused by the negligence, misrepresentation,
misconduct, error, omission or other action of Partner, or of Partner's agents
or employees. In addition, Partner agrees to indemnify and hold Active harmless
from and against any loss, cost or expense (including attorneys' fees) resulting

standing alone, infringe any third party's intellectual property rights.

This Plan sets forth the terms and conditions under which Active Software, Inc.
("Active"), provides the following Support and Maintenance program known as

and documentation specified in Exhibit A hereto.

1.      Definitions.


                a.      Documentation. "Documentation" shall mean the
                        documentation that Active provides to its customers for
                        the Software.

                b.      Error. "Error" shall mean any verifiable and
                        reproducible failure of the Software to substantially
                        conform to the Specifications for such Software.
                        Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Error" shall not include
                        any such failure that is caused by: (i) the use or
                        operation of the Software with any other software or
                        programming languages or in an environment other than
                        that intended or recommended by Active, (ii)
                        modifications to the Software not made by Active, or
                        (iii) any bug, defect or error in software used with the
                        Software or any other failure of such software to

                        Specifications or a procedure or routine that, when
                        observed in the regular operation of the Software
                        eliminates any material adverse effect on Customer of

                        functionality and that is designated by Active, in its
                        sole discretion, as a new version of the Software.

                h.      Major Release. "Major Release" means any additional or
                        replacement code or Documentation for the Software
                        provided by Active Software that adds major new
                        capabilities or functionality and that is designated by
                        Active, in its sole discretion, as a new Major Release

                        Active will provide software updates to the Customer as
                        they become generally available. An update is a new
                        release of the licensed software product that is made
                        available to the general public. This includes both
                        minor and major release numbers. In general this
                        software may contain both bug fixes and enhancements to
                        the product. Maintenance does not cover new products
                        being added to a product line or new functionally that
                        is sold as a separate option and price. Active Software
                        will provide a single copy of media for each update to
                        the Customer. If additional copies are require they will
                        be made available for a fee.

                b.      Current Release. Active's obligations under this Plan
                        shall apply only to those releases of the applicable
                        Software that are then currently being shipped by
                        Active. Active shall have the right, at any time after a
                        particular release has been superseded by another
                        release, to terminate support with respect to the
                        superseded release upon giving not less than ninety (90)
                        days notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Active will
                        support a superseded release for no less than one year
                        after a new release is shipped.

                c.      Error Correction. During the term of this Plan, Active
                        shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
                        Error Corrections for Errors in the Software reported by
                        Customer to Active.

                d.      Limitations. Active shall have no obligation under this
                        Plan to correct Errors which result from the breach by
                        Customer of this Plan or the License Agreement, or which
                        cannot be remedied due to any modifications of the
                        Software made by Customer or any third party. If Active
                        agrees to remedy any errors or problems not covered by
                        the terms of this Plan, Customer shall pay Active for
                        all such work performed at Active's then-current
                        standard rates. Customer acknowledges that Active is
                        under no obligation to perform services with respect to
                        any hardware or any software which is not Software.

3.      Support Services.


                a.      Telephone Support. During the term of this Plan, Active
                        will provide telephone consultation and advice to
                        Authorized Contacts regarding technical support of the
                        Licensed Software between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and
                        6:00 p.m., Pacific Time, Monday through Friday,
                        excluding holidays. Response times are based upon
                        severity of the problem. Optional 24x7 telephone
                        consultation and advice for emergency situations of
                        Severity 1 problems may be purchased for an additional
                        fee.

                b.      Email and Fax Support. During the term of this Plan,
                        Active will respond to email and fax messages sent to
                        Support by Authorized Contacts between the hours of 6:00
                        a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time, Monday through Friday,
                        excluding holidays within 6 business hours and whenever
                        possible within the same business day.

                c.      Limitations. Customer acknowledges that Active is under
                        no obligation to perform services with respect to any
                        hardware or any software which is not Active Software's
                        Licensed product.

                d.      Supported Releases. Active Software will provide
                        technical support for the current shipping release of
                        software and the one previous release for up to one year
                        after the release stopped shipping. In order to correct
                        or trouble shoot certain problems the Customer may be
                        required to update said software to the then current
                        release.

4.      Service Expectations.


                a.      Problem Classification. The following Problem
                        Classification Table definitions are used for
                        classifying customer issues. These classifications
                        insure consistent treatment of problems handled by
                        support. Severity 3 (Degraded Operations) is the default
                        severity level that all cases are initially set to
                        unless otherwise specified by the customer or the
                        support engineer. The support engineer handling the case
                        will work with the customer to establish what severity
                        should be assigned. The following are the four levels
                        used by Active Software to prioritize a customer's
                        problem.

                                        affected system must be for production purposes.

                                        The system is significantly impaired such that key business
Severity 2 (Serious)                    processes can not be conducted and no known work around is
                                        currently available.

Severity 3 (Degraded)                   The system can not function as designed however key business
                                        processes are not interrupted.

Severity 4 (Minimal)                    Problems are low-impact. Little or no impact to daily
                                        business process.

                b.      Response Expectations. In the event that an error is
                        discovered in the Licensed Software which causes the
                        software not to operate in conformance with the
                        published specifications or applicable documentation,
                        Customer shall notify Active Software in writing (email
                        or fax) of the error (including a reasonable description
                        and the severity level based on the Problem
                        Classification Table). Active shall respond to such
                        notice and will make reasonable efforts to assign
                        engineers to resolve problems at the level of effort
                        indicated by the Response Expectation table. If
                        unspecified most new cases will be set to a severity
                        level of 3 until a clearer determination can be made.

                             The following Response Expectation table specifies
                             the level of response that will be given to a
                             customer issue at each step of the process based
                             upon the assigned severity of the problem. The
                             table specifies the maximum amount of time elapsed
                             to complete each step.

                             Step 1 represents the acknowledgment of a
                                    customer's problem and the beginning of
                                    information gathering process.

                             Step 2 represents the time frame by which the
                                    problem is being actively addressed and a
                                    temporary patch, correction, or workaround
                                    is provided. The goal will be to provide a
                                    fix or a work-around for a problem as soon
                                    as possible. Critical issues will be worked
                                    on continually during the business day until
                                    a satisfactory problem resolution can be
                                    reached. To have work continue on problems
                                    during non-business hours requires the
                                    purchase of a 24x7 coverage plan and the
                                    commitment by the customer to make their
                                    resources available on an after hours basis
                                    as well.

                             Step 3 represents when a permanent solution will
                                    be available. This may be in the form of a
                                    tested permanent patch or a completely new
                                    release depending upon what the problem
                                    requires and time allows. When possible
                                    permanent fixes will be provided in the next
                                    scheduled release.

                        c.      Escalation Process. All new cases will initially
                                be taken and handled by the support
                                representatives on duty at the time of the call.
                                All problems with a severity level of 1 to 3
                                will be escalated if a solution or plan of
                                resolution cannot be achieved within the
                                designated amount of time as described below. To
                                ensure that progress can continue, Customers
                                with Severity 1 (Critical) issues must provide
                                Active with a highly available contact during
                                this period who will assist the Support and
                                Development organizations with data gathering,
                                testing, and applying all fixes to their
                                environment. If Active cannot duplicate the
                                problem in-house, then Support may request
                                access to the Company's computing environment.

                                Support management will be made aware of issues
                                according to the following timeframes. Active
                                requires that as succeeding levels of Active
                                management become involved in the resolution
                                process, the Customer must provide contacts at
                                similar levels within their organizations, to
                                ensure that the level of management involvement
                                matches the decision-making level dictated by
                                the resolution requirements of the problem.
