exchange for mutual consideration, sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
agree that the terms of this Agreement and all attached Schedules, Attachments
and Addenda (hereinafter "Agreement"), will govern the licensing of the Software
by COMPAQ on a worldwide basis.

This Agreement is not a requirements contract and does not obligate COMPAQ to
purchase, resell or distribute the Software, but only establishes the terms and
conditions for such licensing and distribution if it occurs.

1.      RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

1.1     The Parties shall act as independent contractors in the performance of
        this Agreement. Neither party shall act as agent for, or partner of, the
        other party for any purpose whatsoever, and the employees of one party
        shall not be deemed the employees of the other party.

1.2     Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as creating any type of
        exclusive relationship between the Parties. It is expressly understood

        proposal for a project shall be the responsibility of COMPAQ, where
        COMPAQ is the prime contractor.

2.3     COMPAQ will identify PARAGON and PARAGON's products as a component of
        the overall solution being proposed.

2.4     Unless Customer requests otherwise, COMPAQ shall be responsible for any

        approval, agrees to give PARAGON an opportunity to be present at
        meetings with the customer which may concern the PARAGON portion of the
        proposal.

3.      LICENSE

3.1     As of the date of this Agreement PARAGON grants to COMPAQ a worldwide,
        nonexclusive, [*] license for use of the Software as set out
        below.

        3.1.1   COMPAQ, its employees and agents may execute the Software and
                may load, copy or transmit the Software in whole or in part,
                for purposes of internal and customer evaluation, marketing
                and promotional activities subject to the terms and
                conditions of this Agreement. PARAGON will provide COMPAQ
                with up to [*] copies of the Software for each COMPAQ
                geography, not to exceed [*] copies on a total worldwide basis.

3.2     PARAGON hereby grants to COMPAQ the nonexclusive right to market and
        distribute the Software on a worldwide basis to Registered Accounts,
        pursuant to the terms of PARAGON's then current Software License and
        Maintenance Agreement, as provided by PARAGON with it's Software, a copy
        of the current version of which is attached hereto as Attachment B.

        3.2.1   PARAGON and COMPAQ recognize that in some situations a
                Registered Account may require or prefer that COMPAQ be the
                licensor of the Software. In those situations, PARAGON hereby
                grants to COMPAQ the nonexclusive right to market, distribute
                and sublicense the Software on a worldwide basis to
                Registered Accounts pursuant to the software licensing terms
                of the then current COMPAQ Agreement with the Registered
                Account.

3.3     COMPAQ may copy and use internally PARAGON's training materials for the
        Software.

3.4     COMPAQ may copy and use internally and externally PARAGON's marketing
        and promotional materials for the Software.

3.5     In order to have a qualified customer registered as a Registered Account
        COMPAQ shall submit an electronic mail message to Hoon Chung at PARAGON
        and Dinesh Maheshwary at COMPAQ, containing the name and address of the
        prospective customer. PARAGON shall have [*] business days to
        review the information submitted by COMPAQ and to inform COMPAQ in
        writing of its approval or rejection of the prospective customer as a
        Registered Account, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld. If
        PARAGON does not provide COMPAQ with written notification of acceptance
        or rejection within [*] business days COMPAQ may conclusively
        presume that the prospect has been accepted as a Registered Account by
        PARAGON. If PARAGON does not approve a prospective account for status as
        a Registered Account PARAGON will provide COMPAQ with information so
        that COMPAQ may determine why the prospective account was rejected. The
        Parties regional representatives shall meet on at least a quarterly
        basis to discuss the status of Registered Accounts and additional
        prospects.

due to a breach of Section 11).

        10.3.   TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE BY LICENSEE. Licensee may terminate
this Agreement without cause at any time by giving [*] written notice of
termination to Paragon, but such termination shall not entitle Licensee to a
refund of any fees paid under this Agreement, nor shall it relieve Licensee
of the obligation to pay any fees which were due and payable as of the date
on which notice of termination was given.

        10.4.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION. On or before the effective date of any
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall: (i)
cease all use of the Products; (ii) remove all copies of the Software from its
computers; (iii) return to Paragon all Documentation and any other materials
provided by Paragon, and all copies thereof; and (iv) deliver a certificate to
Paragon certifying Licensee's compliance with the foregoing. Except as expressly
set forth, no termination of this Agreement shall relieve Licensee of any
obligation for amounts due to Paragon as of the effective date of termination.

        10.5.   SURVIVAL. The rights and obligations set forth in Sections 4.5,
4.6 10.4 and Sections 11 through 18 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

11.     CONFIDENTIALITY

        11.1    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" shall mean any information, whether or not owned or
developed by the disclosing party, which the receiving party may obtain
knowledge of through or as a result of the relationship established hereunder
with the disclosing party, access to the disclosing party's premises, or
communications with the disclosing party's employees or independent contractors.
"Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to information about the
disclosing party's finances, operations and maintenance, algorithms, trade
secrets, computer programs, design, technology, ideas, know-how, processes,
formulas, compositions, data, techniques, improvements, inventions (whether
patentable or not), works of authorship, business and product development plans,
call tracking tables, problem resolution data, customer history tables,
maintenance contract tables, other customer information and other information
concerning the disclosing party's actual or anticipated business, research or
development, or which is received in confidence by or for

                                                                   CONFIDENTIAL


the Company from any other person. Confidential Information also includes any
information which the disclosing party obtains from any third party which the
disclosing party treats as proprietary or designates as Confidential
Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is
known by the receiving party at the time of receipt from the disclosing party
and which is not subject to any other non-disclosure agreement between the
parties; (ii) is now, or hereafter becomes, generally known to the industry
through no fault of the receiving party, or which is later intentionally
published or generally disclosed to the public by the disclosing party; or (iii)
is otherwise lawfully and independently developed by the receiving party, or is
lawfully acquired from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality.
The receiving party shall bear the burden of showing that any of the foregoing
exclusions applies to any information or materials. The parties acknowledge that
any disclosure or unauthorized use of Confidential Information will constitute a
material breach of this Agreement and cause substantial harm to the disclosing
party for which damages would not be a fully adequate remedy, and, therefore, in
the event of any such breach, in addition to other available remedies, the
disclosing party shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief.

        11.2.   NO USE OR DISCLOSURE. Each party agrees to hold in confidence,
not to use and not to disclose or reveal to any person or entity the
Confidential Information received hereunder without the clear and express prior
written consent of a duly authorized representative of the disclosing party.
Each party agrees that it shall only be permitted to use the other party's
Confidential Information to the limited extent necessary to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement.

        11.3.   LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURE. In the event a receiving party
hereto is directed to disclose any portion of a disclosing party's
Confidential Information or any other materials proprietary to the disclosing
party in conjunction with a judicial proceeding or arbitration or pursuant to
any other legal order or requirement, such receiving party shall immediately
notify the disclosing party both orally and in writing, and shall provide
reasonable cooperation to the disclosing party should the disclosing party
seek a protective order or other relief with respect to the directed
disclosure.

12.     NONSOLICITATION

        Each party agrees that it will not, during the term of this Agreement
and for a period of [*] thereafter, directly or indirectly solicit, interfere
with, or entice away from the other party any employee or independent
contractor of such other party, or attempt to do so.

13.     OWNERSHIP; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

        13.1    PARAGON. As between the parties title to the Products and any
and all other products, trade secrets and other proprietary information of
Paragon and all copies of all or any portion thereof, all proprietary rights
therein and thereto, and all related intellectual property rights, shall remain
with Paragon. Licensee shall reproduce and include in all permitted copies of
the Products all proprietary rights notices or legends of Paragon as they appear
in the original from which the copies were made. Licensee shall not remove,
cover, alter, or obfuscate any copyright notices or other proprietary rights
notices placed or embedded by Paragon on or in the Products. Licensee shall not
have a right to, and shall not, modify, translate, adapt or create derivative
works based on any Product, or merge any Product into any other program or
materials. Licensee agrees not to, directly or indirectly, decompile,
disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover the source code
or underlying ideas or algorithms of any Product. License shall not copy (except
as otherwise permitted hereunder), rent, lease, distribute, assign, or otherwise
transfer rights to any Product or use any Product for the benefit of a third
party. Paragon shall have no obligation to provide Licensee with a copy of, and
Licensee acquires no rights of any kind with respect to, any source code.
Licensee acknowledges that there are no circumstances under which Licensee is
entitled to receive the source code of any Product, except as set forth in
Section 9 above.

        13.2.   LICENSEE. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
giving Paragon any ownership interest of any kind whatsoever in, or any right
to use, any data of Licensee.

                                                                   CONFIDENTIAL


        Licensee understands and acknowledges that Paragon may have included
instructions within the Software that will make the Software inaccessible
without an authorized password or will render the Software inoperative in
unauthorized use (including unauthorized copies), and that the Software may
become inoperative in the event any attempt is made to disable these
instructions. Licensee agrees that it will not make, nor will it permit any
other person to make, any attempts, either direct or indirect, to disable,
circumvent or otherwise render ineffective these instructions. In the event
that the Software becomes inoperative as a result of a violation of this
Section 14, Paragon's warranties set forth in this Agreement will be void
with respect to the Software and product affected, and Paragon shall be under
no obligation to restore the operability of the Software or to provide
Licensee with an operable copy of the Software.

15.     PARAGON REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATIONS OF
        LIABILITY

        15.1    PRODUCT OPERATION.

                15.1.1. WARRANTY. As used herein, the term "Nonconformity"
shall mean [*]. For a period of [*] commencing upon the Effective
Date (the "Warranty Period"), Paragon represents and warrants to Licensee
only that the Products as delivered to Licensee are or will be free from any
Nonconformities, and will operate substantially in conformance with the
Documentation when used in full compliance with the instructions in the
Documentation.

                15.1.2. CORRECTION AND REMEDIES. Should any reproducible
Nonconformity be detected at any time during the Warranty Period, Paragon
shall, at its sole expense, either (i) correct such Nonconformity within a
reasonable time after Licensee gives detailed written notice of such
Nonconformity to Paragon, or (ii) provide a reasonable workaround. In the
event that Licensee discovers any apparent Nonconformity, Licensee shall
notify Paragon in writing, specifying the nature of the claimed Nonconformity
and the conditions in which it arises in sufficient detail for Paragon to
reproduce the Nonconformity. Licensee agrees to give Paragon reasonable
cooperation, and reasonable access to Licensee's data and/or computer system,
in connection with Paragon's reproduction of the Nonconformity and correction
thereof. If Paragon is unable to, or otherwise does not, correct the
Nonconformity or provide a workaround within a reasonable time, then Licensee
may, as its sole remedy and Paragon's sole liability, terminate this
Agreement in accordance with Sections 10.2 and 10.4 above [*].

        15.2.   WARRANTY VOID. The representations and warranties set forth
in Section 15.1.1 above shall be void if Licensee makes any attempt to, or
does: (i) modify any Product; (ii) access the Software from unauthorized
workstations or computers; (iii) defeat any technical protection measures
embedded in the Software; or (iv) use any Product in any other unauthorized
manner.

        15.4.   DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN
SECTION 15.1.1 ABOVE, PARAGON MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY SERVICES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PARAGON
ALSO MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING NON-INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FREEDOM FROM
BUGS. LICENSEE WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED ON BEHALF OF
PARAGON TO ANY THIRD PARTY RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY SERVICES. FURTHERMORE
LICENSEE SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PASS THROUGH ANY WARRANTIES MADE HEREUNDER.

        15.5.   NO COMBINATION CLAIMS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Paragon shall not be liable to Licensee for any
claim of any kind arising from or based upon the combination, operation or use
of any Product with any other equipment, data or programming not supplied or

                                                                   CONFIDENTIAL


specified by Paragon, or arising from problems peculiar to Licensee's computer
system configuration, or arising from any alteration or modification of any
Product not performed by Paragon.

        15.6.   LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, PARAGON WILL
NOT BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (I)
FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS, IN THE AGGREGATE, OF [*] OR (II) FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST DATA OR (III) FOR COST OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, TECHNOLOGY OR SERVICES OR (IV) FOR LOSS OR
CORRUPTION OF DATA INTERRUPTION OF USE. THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY
FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON.

16.     INDEMNIFICATION

        16.1    INDEMNIFICATION BY PARAGON. If any alleged infringement of a
U.S. patent, copyright, trademark or misappropriation of a trade secret is
asserted by a third party against Licensee based upon its use of the
Products, Paragon will indemnify Licensee against any amounts finally awarded
by a court or in a settlement to such party (and reasonable attorneys' fees
in connections therewith), provided that Paragon shall have received from
Licensee notice of said claim within [*] of the assertion thereof; further
provided that Paragon shall have the exclusive right, if it so chooses, to
control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claims;
and further provided that Paragon shall receive the complete cooperation and
assistance of Licensee. In the event an infringement is determined or, if
required by settlement, Paragon may substitute for a Product a substantially
similar product, or, alternatively, Paragon may procure for Licensee the
right to continue using the Product. THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ANY
WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

        16.2    CORRECTION AND REMEDIES. In the event that any Product is, or in
the reasonable judgment of Paragon is likely to become, the subject of any legal
action based upon a claim of infringement, Paragon may demand that Licensee
cease to use such Product until and unless there is a final judgment or other
final resolution establishing Paragon's right to continue using the Product. In
the event that Licensee ceases to use the Product as a result of any legal
action or threatened legal action upon Paragon's demand (a "Cessation"), Paragon
shall (i) modify the Product, (ii) procure the right for Licensee to use the
Product, or (iii) provide Licensee with functionally equivalent software to use
in place of the Product. In the event that Paragon is not able to achieve any of
the foregoing in a commercially reasonable manner or at a commercially
reasonable cost, in Paragon's reasonable discretion, then except for Paragon's
indemnification obligation provided in Section 16.1 above, Licensee's sole
remedy, and Paragon's sole liability, with respect to a Cessation and/or with
respect to any infringement by a Product, shall be to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with Sections 10.2 and 10.4 above [*].

        16.3    INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSEE. Paragon shall not be liable for,
and Licensee, at its sole expense, will defend, indemnify and hold Paragon
harmless from and with respect to, any loss or damage (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection with, any suit or proceeding
brought by a third party against Paragon insofar as such suit or proceeding
shall be based upon:

                (i)     any claim incident to an infringement not resulting
                        primarily from the Products (including any claim under
                        any theory of product liability with respect to any
                        product of Licensee or any component thereof);

                (ii)    any claim with respect to the use of the Products not
                        strictly in accordance with this Agreement;

                                                             CONFIDENTIAL

       (iii)    any claim arising out of or relating to any act or omission of
       Licensee;

       (iv)    any claim with respect to the Products or portions or components
       thereof modified after shipment by Paragon to the extent the alleged
       infringement results from such modification, or combined with other
       products, processes or materials; or

       (v)     any claim where the allegedly infringing activity continues
       after Licensee is notified thereof or informed of modifications that
       would have avoided the alleged infringement,

provided Paragon gives Licensee prompt written notice of any such claim and
provides Licensee such reasonable cooperation and assistance as Licensee may
request from time to time in the defense thereof.  Licensee shall pay any
damages and costs assessed against Paragon (or paid or payable by Paragon
pursuant to a settlement agreement) in connection with such a suit or
proceeding, provided Paragon has given Licensee prompt written notice of such
claim.

17.  NOTICES

     Except as specifically provided herein, all notices required hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be given by: (i) personal delivery, in which
case notice shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery; or (ii)
national overnight courier service, in which case notice shall be deemed
effective one (1) business day following deposit with the national overnight
courier service; or (iii) U.S. mail, certified or registered, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, in which case notice shall be deemed
effective three (3) days following deposit in the U.S. mail.  The addresses
for giving notice shall be the parties' respective addresses first set forth
above, or any other address as shall be specified by a party in a written
notice to the other party.

18.  MISCELLANEOUS

     18.1.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement (including all the exhibits
hereto) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties
hereto and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous representations,
understandings and agreements between Licensee and Paragon with respect to the
subject matter hereof.  This Agreement shall not be modified, amended or in any
way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of Paragon
and by Licensee.

     18.2.     AMENDMENTS.  All amendments or modifications of this Agreement
shall be binding upon the parties so long as the same shall be in writing and
executed by the parties hereto in accordance with the other terms of this
Agreement regarding modifications.

     18.3.     WAIVER.  No waiver of any provision of the Agreement or any
rights or obligations of either party hereunder shall be effective, except
pursuant to a written instrument signed by the party or parties waiving
compliance, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose stated in such writing.

     18.4.     PARAGON RIGHT TO PUBLICLY IDENTIFY LICENSEE AS USER.  Paragon
shall have the right to make reasonable reference to Licensee as a user of
the Products in communications between Paragon and individual customers or
potential customers and in public communications such as advertising,
promotional materials and press releases.

     18.5.     COOPERATION AND ASSISTANCE.  Licensee agrees to give Paragon
reasonable cooperation, and reasonable access to Licensee's data and/or
computer system, in connection with Paragon's performance of its obligations
under this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Licensee will furnish to Paragon upon Paragon's reasonable request: (i)
listings of output and any other data that Paragon may require or request in
order to reproduce any problem and the operating conditions under which such
problem occurred;

<PAGE>

                                                             CONFIDENTIAL

and (ii) information concerning Licensee's use of a Product and concerning
Licensee's operating, manufacturing and user environment.

     18.6.     NO ASSIGNMENT BY LICENSEE.  Licensee may not assign or
transfer this Agreement or any of his/her rights, duties or obligations
hereunder and this Agreement may not be involuntarily assigned or assigned by
operation of law, without the prior written consent of Paragon, which consent
may be granted or withheld by Paragon in its sole discretion.  The sale or
transfer of any portion of Licensee's business (including to any corporation
owning, owned by or affiliated with Licensee), or the combination of any of
Licensee's business with any other business (including with any corporation
owning, owned by or affiliated with Licensee), shall be considered an
assignment for purposes of this Agreement and subject to the prohibition set
forth in this Section 18.6.  Any attempted assignment without such consent
shall be null and void.  Paragon shall have the unrestricted right to assign
or transfer this Agreement or any interest herein (including rights and
duties of performance).  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective legal
successors and permitted assigns.

     18.7.     INDEPENDENT PARTIES. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between Licensee
and Paragon.  Neither party is, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise,
authorized as an agent or legal representative of the other party.  Neither
party is granted any right or authority to assume or to create any obligation or
responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other
party or to bind such other party in any manner.  Further, it is not the
intention of this Agreement or of the parties hereto to confer a third party
beneficiary right of action upon any third party or entity whatsoever, and
nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed so as to confer upon any
third party or entity other than the parties hereto a right of action under this
Agreement or in any manner whatsoever.

     18.8.     SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.  In the event that any provision
hereof is found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to judicial decree or
decision, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable,
and shall be enforced, according to its terms.

     18.9.     FORCE MAJEURE.  No party hereto shall be deemed in default if its
performance or obligations hereunder are delayed or become impossible or
impracticable by reason of any act of God, war, fire, earthquake, labor dispute,
accident, civil commotion, epidemic, act of government or government agency or
officers, or any other cause beyond such party's control.

     18.10.    FORUM AND JURISDICTION.  This Agreement was entered into in
the State of California, and its validity, construction, interpretation and
legal effect shall be governed by the laws and judicial decisions of the
State of California applicable to contracts entered into between residents of
that state and performed entirely within the State of California and by
applicable federal law, and the choice-of-law provisions of California law
shall not be applied to substitute the law of any other State or nation.  The
parties expressly agree that any action arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be filed and maintained only in the courts of the State of
California for the County of Los Angeles, or the United States District Court
for the Central District of California.  The parties hereby consent and
submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of
litigating any such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees
that in the event that a party to this Agreement becomes engaged in
litigation against a third party in any other court in the United States, and
such litigation reasonably requires the determination of the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement (including any right
of indemnification under Section 16 above), the other party hereto will
submit to the personal jurisdiction of the court in which such action is
maintained for purposes of such determination, in which event the submission
to personal jurisdiction shall apply to determination of any other claims
between the parties hereto which may properly be brought as part of such
litigation.

     18.11.    ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event any litigation or other
proceeding is brought by either party arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation or other proceeding shall be
entitled to recover from the other party all costs, attorneys' fees and other
expenses incurred by such prevailing party in this litigation.
