LICENSE FEES:

Upon execution of this Agreement you will pay us a non-refundable,
non-cancelable Minimum License Payment of $100,000 for the right to copy, use
and deploy the Software with your application.

For the first two years of the term your annual fee for internal Update and

Update and Hotline Support is for licenses that you purchased from Borland
directly and the fees for such is defined in Section 4(a) of Schedule 1 of this
Agreement.

As Software license seats are deployed, the License Fees and Customer Annual
Support Fees (optional) set forth below will be deducted from the Minimum
License Payment.

      -     License Fee per license seat: $*

      -     Customer Annual Support Fee per seat: $2.00 (at customer's option)

Fees will be deducted from the Minimum License Payment until no balance remains.
Thereafter, you will make additional payments based upon the reports due
quarterly as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement. Payments are due within
30 days from the end of each calendar quarter.

DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE:

During the initial term of this Agreement, you may order products on Borland's
current U.S. price list directly from Borland for your internal use for
development purposes only at a 50% discount off of the current U.S. list price
of the products, provided that each such order shall be in minimum increments of
$1,000. We will invoice you upon receipt of your purchase order.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT:

Update Support consists of Maintenance releases and Updates, as available, and
Second-line technical support.

Maintenance releases are in-line releases (signified by a change to the number
to right of the decimal in the version number, such as from version 1.0 to
version 1.1).

Updates are new product releases (signified by a change to the number to left of
the decimal in the version number, such as from version 1.0 to version 2.0).

Maintenance releases and Updates where applicable, are intended as replacements
for the prior version of the product and may not be used to increase the total
number of products licensed. You may elect not to install the Maintenance
releases or Updates of a product, but our obligation to provide technical
support for a product will apply only to the current version of the product and
the immediately preceding version.

Second-line support consists of back-up telephone support given to your two
named contacts, after your contacts have expended reasonable efforts to provide
technical assistance to your customers. We will undertake reasonable efforts to
provide technical assistance under this Agreement, but we do not guarantee that
all problems will be solved or that any item will be error free.

We will provide a two day initial InterBase training course at no additional
charge to be performed within 90 days of the effective date of the contract.

and exclusions of liability set forth in the License Terms. SPECIFICALLY, THE

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. INPRISE

WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF

3.3. Inprise reserves the right to discontinue such maintenance and support if

Inprise has stopped supporting or maintaining the Software.

3.4. Election of Maintenance and Support shall be at the discretion of Customer.

calendar year representations used within the Software which, when operated on
(including, but not limited to, arithmetic, comparison and sorting operations)
before, during and after the actual calendar year 2000 A.D. shall not produce
subsequent operations and/or generated output which yield results in variance
with the normal course of operations of the Software or error conditions which
are the direct result of the use of a calendar year representation. The
foregoing warranty shall not apply (i) to a prior version of the Software if a
more recent version of the Software is Year 2000 Compliant; and (ii) to the
extent the Software is non-Year 2000 Compliant as a result of the combination,
operation or use of the Software with data, hardware or software not provided by
Inprise, if the Software would have been Year 2000 Compliant but for such
combination, operation or use.

IN THE EVENT THE SOFTWARE IS NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT, INPRISE SHALL HAVE THE
OPTION, AT ITS EXPENSE TO: (A) MODIFY THE SOFTWARE TO MAKE IT YEAR 2000
COMPLIANT, OR (B) REFUND TO CUSTOMER THE PRO-RATED FEES, BASED ON A THREE YEAR
LIFE, PAID FOR SUCH SOFTWARE. THE FOREGOING STATES INPRISE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY
AND CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE
OR SOFTWARE SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 5.1.

5.3. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 5.1 AND THE
LICENSE TERMS THE SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED
"AS IS" WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. INPRISE FURTHER
DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. INPRISE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR
FREE OR WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE
USE
<PAGE>   12
OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS REMAINS WITH
CUSTOMER.

6. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY

Inprise will defend you against any claims by third parties of infringement of
United States copyrights arising from your use, as permitted herein, of any
Product as furnished by Inprise and pay any damages awarded. Inprise obligations
are contingent upon you notifying Inprise promptly of any notice of any actual
or threatened claim or suit; giving Inprise the exclusive right to control the
defense and settlement of such claim or suit; and giving your full cooperation
for the defense of same. Following notice of a claim or a threatened claim,
Inprise may, in its discretion and at its option, procure for you the right to
continue using any Product or may replace or modify any Product to make it
non-infringing. If Inprise determines that none of these alternatives is
practical, Inprise may refund the license fees paid by you hereunder for the
affected Products (less a charge for depreciation on a three year, straight-line
basis) and accept the return of the affected Products.

Inprise will have no liability for any claim of infringement of any third party
right that is caused by (i) your use of any Product with non-Inprise software,
products or data if such claim would have been avoided by exclusive use of the
Product; (ii) modification of the Product by anyone other than Inprise if such
claim would have been avoided by use of the unmodified Product; or (iii) by use
of other than the most current release of the Product.

      6.3. This Section 6 states Inprise's entire liability to you for actual or
claimed infringement of intellectual or proprietary rights.

7. GENERAL

software (under FAR 52.227-19 and DFARS 252.227-7013).
