January 31, 2005, and all of AGLC’s rights and duties with respect thereto,
shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the Amended
Agreement.  All expenses, costs and fees paid or incurred by Retec or

Modification.

     

    (B)           Effective

    changing
AGLC’s Executive Sponsor from Suzanne Sitherwood to Donna Moore and by changing

    V. Section 7
Insurance.  A new Paragraph 7.9 is hereby added as
follows:

     

    “Retec
acknowledges that the Insurance Program described in Paragraph 7.1 will
terminate on May 5, 2005.

     

    On or
before May 6, 2005, and before performing any function under this Agreement
following termination of the Insurance Program, in addition to the coverage
required in Paragraph 7.5 of the Amended Agreement, Retec shall maintain
insurance coverage as follows:

     

    (A)           Commercial
General Liability Insurance - $2,000,000/ $5,000,000.

    Retec
shall maintain the above-described coverage for a period of two  years
after the termination of the Amended Agreement.  After May 6,
2005, all references to the “Insurance Program” in Section 7 shall mean the
coverage set forth in new Paragraph 7.9, except in Paragraph 7.4 where the
reference to “Insurance Program” shall remain the same.”

     

    Except as
otherwise provided herein, all defined terms shall have the meanings provided in
the Amended Agreement.  Except as modified herein, all terms,
conditions, responsibilities, and obligations of the Parties shall remain in
full force and effect.

     

    In the
event this 2005 Modification is deemed to nullify the Insurance Program as
described in Paragraph 7.1, this 2005 Modification will become null and void and
the Amended Agreement will be deemed to have been extended until
December 31, 2005.

     

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, AGLC and Retec, intending to be legally bound, have caused this
2005 Modification to be signed as of this 1 day of February, 2005.
