                            FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

entered into as of May 10, 2000, by and between Spieker Properties, L.P., a
California limited partnership ("Landlord") and Hollywood Software, Inc., a
California corporation ("Tenant").

                                    RECITALS

         A.      WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain office
                 lease (the "Original Lease") dated as of March 31, 1999,
                 covering certain Premises located at 2601 Saturn Street, Suite
                 104, Brea, California 92821 and commonly known as Brea Park
                 Centre, (the "Building").

         B.      WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify the Lease, among
                 other modifications, that upon the First Amendment Commencement
                 Date (defined below), Tenant shall expand its Premises by 1,402
                 rentable square feet, known as Suite 300, on the third (3rd)
                 Floor of the Building (the "Expansion Premises").

         C.      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Premises and for other
                 consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
                 acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.       Definitions: Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized words
         shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

2.       Premises: Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary,
         the Premises shall continue to be Suite 104 and shall be expanded to
         include Suite 300 (the "Expansion Premises") comprising a total of
         approximately 2,281 rentable square feet. As further depicted on
         Exhibit B attached hereto (herein referred to as the "First Amendment
         Premises").

3.       First Amendment Commencement Date: The First Amendment Commencement
         Date shall be the earlier of the date on which the improvements to be
         constructed or performed by Landlord in the Expansion Premises shall
         have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and
         specifications, described on Exhibit C, attached hereto, or July 1,
         2000. If for any reason Landlord cannot deliver possession of any
         portion of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on the First Amendment
         Scheduled Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any
         liability therefor, nor shall Landlord be in default hereunder nor
         shall such failure affect the validity of this First Amendment, and
         Tenant agrees to accept possession of the First Amendment Premises at
         such time as such improvements have been substantially completed, which
         date shall then be deemed the First Amendment Commencement Date. In the
         event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed or
         required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of Landlord's
         general contractor shall be conclusive. Substantial completion shall
         have occurred notwithstanding Tenant's submission of a punchlist to
         Landlord, which Tenant shall submit, if at all, within three (3)
         business days after the First Amendment Commencement Date or otherwise
         in accordance with any improvement agreement appended to this First
         Amendment. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall promptly execute and
         return to Landlord a "Start-Up Letter" in which Tenant shall agree,
         among other things, to acceptance of the Original Premises and
         Expansion Premises and to the determination of the First Amendment
         Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of the Lease, but
         Tenant's failure or refusal to do so shall not negate Tenant's
         acceptance of the First Amendment Premises or affect determination of
         the First Amendment Commencement Date. From and after the First
         Amendment Commencement Date, Tenant shall observe and perform all
         obligations of the Tenant pursuant to the First Amendment and the Lease
         with respect to the First Amendment Premises.
