ARTICLE II


NON-COMPETITION


            Section 2.1.   Non-Competition. (a) From and after the Effective Date,
Consulting may provide the Consulting Services and shall not, directly or
through any Person controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect
common control with Consulting, engage in the provision of any Partnership
Services.

-4-








            (b)   From and after the Effective Date, the Partnership may provide the
Partnership Services and shall not, directly or through any Person controlling,
controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with the Partnership,
engage in the provision of any Consulting Services.


            Section 2.2.   New Services. The Partnership and Consulting acknowledge
that each of the Partnership Business and the Consulting Business will, in the
future, involve the provision of services not currently provided by either the
Partnership or Consulting and each agrees that it is advisable and in the best
interests of each of the Parties to provide a mechanism to evaluate the
appropriate Party to provide such services during the term of this Agreement.
In furtherance thereof, the Partnership and Consulting hereby agree that any
New Service shall become part of the business with respect to which such
service most closely relates at the time. To facilitate this agreement, each
Party shall, upon the written request of the other Party, but in any event no
later than March 31 and September 30 of each year during the term of this
Agreement, provide the other Party with information describing in reasonable
detail New Services which have been made available by the Party since the last
report. The Party offering such New Service shall have the exclusive right to
do so and such service shall be included within the definition of the services
provided by such Party as set forth herein unless the other Party sends written
notice of its objection thereto within 30 days of receipt of written
notification. Any such objection shall be considered a Dispute and shall be
resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


            Section 2.3.   Additional Considerations and Agreements. (a) Nothing in
this Agreement shall limit the right of either Party to hire the personnel
needed to provide the services to be provided by such Party consistent with the
terms of this Agreement.


            (b)   During the term of this Agreement, Consulting shall not become a
licensed certified public accounting firm and the personnel of Consulting shall
not hold themselves out as certified public accountants or provide any advice
or interpretation of any accounting standards, literature or rules and the
interpretation thereof as promulgated by the applicable standard setting
bodies, including without limitation, the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or the successors thereto, in any manner or by any means.
The Partnership shall not become a systems integrator.


            (c)   Each Party shall have the right to determine the appropriate titles
for its personnel, based on market acceptance and demand. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Partnership and Consulting each agree that, during the term of
this Agreement, it is advisable and in the best interests of each of the
Parties to limit the competition between the Partnership Business and the
Consulting Business with respect to the recruitment of personnel and in that
regard the Partnership hereby agrees to use all reasonable efforts to avoid the
use of the term “consultant” in connection with its recruiting efforts.


            (d)   The Partnership shall have the right to develop technology tools to
support and facilitate the delivery of the Partnership Services. The
Partnership may, but shall not be required to, utilize the services of
Consulting, other joint venture or alliance partners or any third party vendor
or contractor in connection with such development. The Partnership shall have
the

-5-








right to enter into other joint ventures or alliances, or to use any third
party vendors or contractors in the development and/or delivery of
non-technology tools and Partnership Services.


            (e)   To the extent any client engagement as of the Effective Date involved
the services of both the Partnership and Consulting, the Parties agree to
negotiate in good faith the appropriate arrangements necessary to continue such
engagement following the Effective Date if the Parties so desire in a
prime/subcontractor relationship with fees payable by the client for such
contract work.


            (f)   The Partnership and Consulting each agree that it is advisable and in
the best interests of the Parties to provide a mechanism to avoid a situation
in which the Partnership and Consulting each submit a proposal to a client to
provide similar services to such client. If either Party obtains information
or otherwise becomes aware that the Partnership and Consulting each intend to
submit a proposal to a client with respect to the same potential engagement,
the Party with such information (the “Notifying Party”) shall send written
notice to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) setting forth the name of the
client and a description of the services to be provided in connection with such
engagement. Within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice the
Receiving Party shall send the Notifying Party a response indicating whether it
intends to submit a proposal with respect to such engagement and, if so, why it
believes it is the appropriate Party to submit the proposal. Within two (2)
business days of receipt of a response indicating the Receiving Party’s
intention to submit a proposal, the Notifying Party will send the Receiving
Party written notice of objection if the Receiving Party also intends to submit
a proposal and such objection shall be considered a Dispute and shall be
resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


            (g)   (i)   The Partnership and Consulting each agree that nothing set forth
herein shall prohibit the Partnership from acquiring, purchasing or otherwise
combining with, and following such acquisition, purchase or combination,
actively engaging in, any business that has a subsidiary, division, group,
franchise or segment that is engaged in any Consulting Services, and
termination of this Agreement shall not occur, so long as such the Partnership
divests itself or causes the divestiture of such subsidiary, division, group,
franchise or segment within six months of the date of such acquisition,
purchase or combination.


                    (ii)   This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall terminate in the event the Partnership enters into a merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination involving the
Partnership or KPMG International which results in the Partnership (either
directly or through any other Person controlling, controlled by, or under
direct or indirect common control with the Partnership) providing consulting
services comparable to those offered by Consulting if the Partnership fails to
divest as required pursuant to Section 2.3(g)(i).


                    (iii)   In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
2.3(g)(ii), Partnership shall pay to Consulting any damages suffered by
Consulting as a result of an event described in Section 2.3(g)(ii). The
Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 30 days to determine the
amount of any such damages, and if the Parties are unable to agree within such
30 day period, the matter shall be resolved as a Dispute under Article IV.


-6-









            (h)   (i)   The Partnership and Consulting each agree that nothing set forth
herein shall prohibit Consulting from acquiring, purchasing or otherwise
combining with, and following such acquisition, purchase or combination,
actively engaging in, any business that has a subsidiary, division, group,
franchise or segment that is engaged in any Partnership Services, and
termination of this Agreement shall not occur so long as Consulting divests
itself or causes the divestiture of such subsidiary, division, group, franchise
or segment within six months of the date of such acquisition, purchase or
combination.


                    (ii)   This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall terminate in the event Consulting enters into a merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination involving Consulting
which results in Consulting (either directly or through any other Person
controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with
Consulting) providing assurance or tax services comparable to those offered by
the Partnership if Consulting fails to divest as required pursuant to Section
2.3(h)(i).


                    (iii)   In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
2.3(h)(ii), Consulting shall pay to the Partnership any damages suffered by the
Partnership as a result of an event described in Section 2.3(h)(ii). The
Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 30 days to determine the
amount of any such damages, and if the Parties are unable to agree within such
30 day period, the matter shall be resolved as a Dispute under Article IV.


            (i)   The Parties agree that each of them may, but shall be under no
obligation to, refer clients to one another. In no event shall the Parties pay
referral fees, commissions or other compensation for any such referrals to each
other or to any subsidiary, affiliate, partner, principal, employee or agent of
the other entity.


            (j)   The Parties agree that they will not enter into any co- or joint
marketing, advertising or similar agreements or arrangements which (i) are
inconsistent with the agreements in Section 2.3(i), and (ii) do not clearly
state that the Partnership and Consulting are separate firms.


ARTICLE III


DISPUTE RESOLUTION


            Section 3.1.   Escalation. Except as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, if a
dispute, claim or controversy arises out of or arises in connection with this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the termination or validity hereof (a
“Dispute”), the Partnership and Consulting agree to use the following
procedures, in lieu of either Party initially pursuing other available
remedies, to resolve the Dispute. The Parties agree that they will first
attempt to settle any Dispute arising out of this Agreement through good faith
negotiations in the spirit of mutual cooperation between business executives
with authority to resolve the Dispute. Prior to taking action as provided in
Section 3.2, the Parties shall first submit the Dispute to an appropriate
corporate officer or partner of each Party for resolution, and if such
corporate officer and partner are unable to resolve such Dispute, either Party
may request that their respective chief executive officers, or their respective
delegees, attempt to resolve such Dispute. The officers or delegees to

-7-








whom any such claim or controversy is submitted shall attempt to resolve
the Dispute through good faith negotiations over a reasonable period, not to
exceed 30 days in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed. Such 30-day period
shall be deemed to commence on the date of a notice from either Party
describing the particular Dispute.


            Section 3.2.   Submission to Mediation. If, within 30 days after such
meeting of officer and partner or delegees, the Parties have not succeeded in
negotiating a resolution of the Dispute, the Partnership and Consulting agree
to refer the matter to a panel consisting of one (1) senior partner or the
delegee thereof from the Partnership and one (1) executive officer or the
delegee thereof from Consulting (which individuals or delegees shall not have
been, as much as practicable, directly involved in the Dispute) for review and
resolution. These individuals are referred to herein as the “Senior
Executives.” Upon such referral, the Senior Executives shall review the
following materials provided by the Partnership and Consulting: a copy of the
terms of this Agreement and a concise (less than 10 page) summary of the basis
of each party’s contentions, including the relevant facts and areas of
disagreement. If the Dispute cannot be resolved by the Senior Executive panel
pursuant to this Section 3.2 within 30 days of the referral of such Dispute,
the Partnership and Consulting may then pursue the remedies contemplated by
Section 3.3 and 3.4.


            Section 3.3.   Arbitration. Any dispute that is not resolved by
negotiations pursuant to Section 3.2 will, upon written notice by either Party
to the other Party involved in the Dispute, be resolved by binding arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with
its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Within ten (10) business days after the
commencement of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as
arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator
within ten (10) business days of their appointment. If the arbitrators
selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator
within such time period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA
within the (10) business days following a written request by any of the parties
to the AAA. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the
language of the arbitration shall be English. It is understood and agreed by
the Parties that money damages might not be a sufficient remedy for any breach
of this Agreement, and that, notwithstanding anything else set forth in this
Section 3.3 concerning the arbitration of disputes and the procedure for such
arbitration, and pending the outcome of any such arbitration, the Parties shall
be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief as a provisional remedy for
any such breach, which shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any
such breach but shall be in addition to all other provisional remedies
available at law or equity. The prevailing Party in the arbitration shall be
entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to its reasonable
attorney’s fees and other costs reasonably incurred in such arbitration. The
Parties specifically agree to be bound by the decisions rendered by the
arbitration panel provided for herein and agree not to submit a dispute subject
to this Section 3.3 to any national, federal, state, provincial, local or other
court or arbitration association except as may be necessary to enforce the
decision rendered by the arbitrators. The Parties hereby agree that the
existence of a Dispute and the details thereof shall be considered confidential
information, and each Party agrees not to disclose such information to any
other Person except those of its personnel that have a need to know such
information for purposes of attempting to resolve the Dispute.


-8-









            Section 3.4.   Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in this Article III
shall prevent either Party from resorting to judicial process, in accordance
with Section 4.2 if injunctive or other equitable relief from a court is
necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one Party or to maintain
the status quo before, during or after the commencement of the mediation
process set forth in this Article III. The use of arbitration procedures will
not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect
adversely either Party’s right to assert any claim or defense.


ARTICLE IV


MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


            Section 4.1.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the only
agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, there
being no prior written or oral promises or representations not incorporated
herein or therein.


            Section 4.2.   Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as
though all acts and omissions related hereto occurred in New York. Any
lawsuit arising from or related to this Agreement shall only be brought, to the
extent permitted by Section 3.3 and 3.4, in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York or in any state court in the State of New
York. To the extent permissible by law, the Parties hereby consent to the
jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Each Party hereby waives, releases and
agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, release and
not assert, any rights such Party or its Affiliates may have under any foreign
law or regulation that would be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement
as governed by New York law.


            Section 4.3.   Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or modification of the
terms of this Agreement shall be binding on any Party unless reduced to writing
and signed by an authorized representative of the Party to be bound. The
waiver by any Party of any particular default by the other Party shall not
affect or impair the rights of the Party so waiving with respect to any
subsequent default of the same or a different kind; nor shall any delay or
omission by either Party to exercise any right arising from any default by the
other Party affect or impair any rights which the non-defaulting Party may have
with respect to the same or any future default.


            Section 4.4.   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties shall
substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision which most closely
approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement
shall be determined, under applicable law, to be overly broad in duration,
geographical coverage or substantive scope, such provision shall be deemed
narrowed to the broadest term permitted by applicable law and shall be enforced
as so narrowed.


-9-









            Section 4.5.   Counterparts. For convenience of the Parties, this
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original for all purposes.


            Section 4.6.   Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of
the Parties and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns
and shall not confer upon any other Person any remedy, claim, liability,
reimbursement or other right in excess of those existing without reference to
this Agreement.


            Section 4.7.   Notices. All notices which either Party may be required or
desire to give to the other Party shall be in writing and shall be given by
personal service, telecopy, registered mail or certified mail (or its
equivalent), or overnight courier to the other Party at its respective address
or telecopy telephone number set forth below. Mailed notices and notices by
overnight courier shall be deemed to be given upon actual receipt by the Party
to be notified. Notices delivered by telecopy shall also be confirmed in
writing by the sending Party by overnight courier and shall be deemed to be
given upon actual receipt by the Parties to be notified.
