                                 -------------

     This is a multi-year contract with a term beginning May 21, 1999 and

<PAGE>

     officer awards the definitized contract. Except for the statement of work
     (Attachment A of the letter contract, dated May 21, 1999), due dates for
     contract performance including deliverables shall be from the date of award
     of the definitized contract.

     If funds are not appropriated or otherwise made available for the continued
     performance in the subsequent year of the multiyear contract, the contract
     for the subsequent year shall be terminated, either automatically or in
     accordance with the termination clause of the contract, if any. Unless

     months of the first year.

7.1  At the end of five (5) years from the date of the award of the definitized
     contract, if the contractor has made fewer than 276 trips to the greater
     Baltimore-Washington area in the performance of this contract, the District
     will redetermine the last payment due the contractor by deducting from the
     last payment $1,282 for each trip under 276 trips which the contractor
     failed to make.

7.2  Prior to the final payment, the contractor shall certify to the District
     the number of trips made to the greater Baltimore-Washington area in the
     performance of this contract.

     one employee of the contractor travels to the greater Baltimore-Washington
     area in the performance of this contract, and stays at the greater
     Baltimore-Washington area at a minimum of one (1) night. Consistent with
     this definition, the contractor would be determined to have taken two (2)
     trips if two (2) employees of the contractor travel to the greater
     Baltimore-Washington area in the performance of this contract, and stay at
     the greater Baltimore-Washington area at a minimum of one (1) night.

11.5   Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, the contractor shall also
       deliver to the District a report summarizing any Year 2000 compliance
       testing that was performed, and the results thereof.

               purposes; and

               forth in a license or agreement made a part of the

       Unless written approval of the contracting officer is obtained, the
       contractor shall not include in technical data or computer software
       prepared for or acquired by the District under the contract any works of
       authorship in which copyright is not owned by the contractor without
       acquiring for the District any rights necessary to perfect a copyright
       license of the scope specified in the first sentence of this paragraph.

14.6   Whenever any data, including computer software, are to be obtained from a
       subcontractor under this contract, the contractor shall use this same
       clause in the subcontract, without alteration, and no other clause shall

       specified in paragraph 14.2, the contractor shall furnish to the District
       a copy of the source code with such rights of the scope specified in
       paragraph 14.2. For all computer software furnished to the District with
       the restricted rights specified in paragraph 14.3 the District, if the
       contractor, either directly or through a successor or affiliate shall
       cease to provide the maintenance or warranty services provided the
       District under this contract or any paid-up maintenance agreement, or if
       contractor should be declared bankrupt or insolvent by a court of
       competent jurisdiction, shall have the right to obtain, for its own and
       sole use only, a single copy of the then current version of the source
       code supplied under this contract, and a single copy of the documentation
       associated therewith, upon payment to the person in control of the source
       code the reasonable cost of making each copy.

14.8   The contractor shall indemnify and save and hold harmless the District,
       its officers, agents and employees acting within the scope of their
       official duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, (i)
       for violation of proprietary rights, copyrights, or rights of privacy,
       arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery,
       performance, use or disposition of any data furnished under this
       contract, or (ii) based upon any data furnished under this contract, or
       based upon libelous or other unlawful matter contained in such data.

14.9   Nothing contained in this clause shall imply a license to the District
       under any patent, or be construed as affecting the scope of any license
       or other right otherwise granted to the District under any patent.

14.10  Paragraphs 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.7, and 14.8 above are not applicable to
       material furnished to the contractor by the District and incorporated in
       the work furnished under contract, provided that such incorporated
       material is identified by the contractor at the time of delivery of such
       work.
