                                     Page 4
<PAGE>   5
years from the date they are created. Such records, books of account, and

rights arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including expert
witness fees.

     d.   COMPANY may not assign this Agreement (by operation of law or
otherwise), or any portion thereof, to any third party unless Microsoft
expressly consents to such assignment in writing, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall give
Microsoft the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice.
For purposes of this Agreement, a merger, consolidation, or other corporate
reorganization, or a transfer or sale of any or all of a party's stock, or of
all or substantially all of its assets shall not be deemed to be an assignment

regulated for export purposes under the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR). The Licensed Materials are subject to a general license
under Export Administration Regulations and as such no license is required. If

longer accurate, Microsoft will notify COMPANY in writing of such change in
classification within twenty-four (24) hours of its knowledge of that
inaccuracy.

party shall have any authority to incur obligations or take other actions on
behalf of the other party to this Agreement.

Microsoft Corporation Standard Non-Disclosure Agreement ("NDA") between the

agree that the terms and conditions of that NDA shall be mutual, and govern
COMPANY'S disclosure of confidential information, if any, to Microsoft as well.

     h. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications. It shall not be
modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent hereto signed on behalf
of COMPANY and Microsoft by their duly authorized representatives. Neither this
Agreement nor any written or oral statements related hereto constitute an offer,
and this Agreement shall not be legally binding until executed by both parties
hereto.

     i. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will
constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same
or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver will be effective unless made in

based upon the level of risk to COMPANY and Microsoft associated with their
respective obligations under this Agreement and the payments to be made to
Microsoft and credits to be issued to, and services to be provided to, COMPANY
pursuant to this Agreement. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any party by
reason of the extent to which any party or its professional advisors
