     18. Section 14 is deleted and replaced by the following:

          Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The parties wish to use
reasonable measures to avoid the litigation of disputes under this Agreement.
Therefore, any controversy between the parties involving or concerning the
construction, performance, validity, or application of any terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement, or any claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the alleged breach or termination thereof that may be raised at any
time by either party shall be resolved in accordance with the following
procedures. Notwithstanding the above, however, these procedures shall not apply
to disputes relating to infringement of the other party's intellectual property
rights or the unlicensed use or disclosure of either party's software or
intellectual property. The parties shall use the procedures in the following
order of priority. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties shall each bear all of
their expenses incurred during the procedures. The entire procedure provided by
this section will be private and confidential to the greatest extent allowed by
law. Each party agrees to take all steps necessary to ensure the private and
confidential nature of all papers submitted, all negotiations, mediation
sessions, and arbitration proceedings, if any, held pursuant to this ADR
process.

          1)   NEGOTIATION. At the written request of either party to initiate
               this ADR process, the parties shall negotiate for a resolution of
               the dispute in a meeting or series of meetings held at the site
               of the non-requesting party. The meeting shall be attended by
               appropriate executives of both parties who are at a higher level
               of management than the persons with direct responsibility for the
               administration of this Agreement.

          2)   MEDIATION. In the event that the dispute is not resolved by
               negotiation within thirty (30) days of the original request to
               initiate this ADR process, the parties shall submit their dispute
               to non-binding mediation. The parties agree to use the services
               of the private dispute resolution firm of JAMS to establish a
               mediation process suitable to resolve the dispute at issue. The
               time and place of the mediation shall be as mutually agreed in
               consultation with JAMS.

          In the event these procedures do not result in a successful resolution
of the dispute, the parties shall be free to pursue all remedies available
through the judicial process.
