                          EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Executive  Severance  Agreement (this  "Agreement") is made as of this
28th day of March,  2000,  between  Apria  Healthcare  Group  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and George J. Suda (the "Executive").

                                    RECITALS

     A. It is the desire of the Company to retain the services of the  Executive
and to recognize the Executive's contribution to the Company.

     B. The  Company  and the  Executive  wish to set  forth  certain  terms and
conditions of Executive's employment.

     C. The Company wishes to provide to the Executive  certain  benefits in the
event that his  employment is terminated by the Company  without cause or in the
event that he terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined below), in order
to  encourage  the  Executive's  performance  and  continued  commitment  to the
Company.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing and of the respective
covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  Positions  and  Duties.  The  Executive  shall  serve as the  Company's
Executive Vice President,  Information  Services,  or in such other position and
shall undertake such duties and have such authority as the Company,  through its
Chief Executive Office or Chief Financial  Officer shall assign to the Executive
from time to time in the Company's sole and absolute discretion. The Company has
the right to change the nature,  amount or level of authority and responsibility
assigned to the Executive at any time,  with or without  cause.  The Company may
also change the title or titles  assigned to the Executive at any time,  with or
without cause. The Executive agrees to devote  substantially  all of his working
time and efforts to the  business  and  affairs of the  Company.  The  Executive
further agrees that he shall not undertake any outside activities which create a
conflict of interest with his duties to the Company,  or which,  in the judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company,  interfere with the performance of the
Executive's duties to the Company.

     2. Compensation and Benefits.

     (a)  Salary.  The  Executive's  salary  shall be such salary as the Company
assigns to him from time to time in  accordance  with its regular  practices and
policies.  The parties to this Agreement  recognize that the Company may, in its
sole discretion, increase such salary at any time.

     (b)  Bonuses.  The  Executive's  eligibility  to receive any bonus shall be
determined in accordance with the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan or other
bonus  plans as they shall be in effect  from time to time.  The parties to this
Agreement  recognize that such bonus plans may be amended  and/or  terminated by
the Company at any time.

     (c) Expenses. During the term of the Executive's employment,  the Executive
shall be entitled to receive  reimbursement  for all  reasonable  and  customary
expenses  incurred by the  Executive in  performing  services for the Company in
accordance  with the Company's  reimbursement  policies as they may be in effect
from time to time.  The parties to this  Agreement  recognize that such policies
may be amended and/or terminated by the Company at any time.

     (d) Other Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
employee  benefit plans,  programs and  arrangements of the Company  (including,
without limitation,  stock option plans or agreements and insurance,  retirement
and vacation plans, programs and arrangements),  in accordance with the terms of
such  plans,  programs or  arrangements  as they shall be in effect from time to
time  during  the  period of the  Executive's  employment.  The  parties to this
Agreement  recognize  that the  Company  may  terminate  or modify  such  plans,
programs or arrangements at any time.

     3. Grounds for Termination. The Executive's employment may be terminated on
any of the following grounds:

     (a)  Without  Cause.  The  Executive  or  the  Company  may  terminate  the
Executive's  employment at any time, without cause, by giving the other party to
this Agreement at least 30 days advance written notice of such termination.

     (b) Death.  The Executive's  employment  hereunder shall terminate upon his
death.

     (c)  Disability.  If,  as a result  of the  Executive's  incapacity  due to
physical or mental illness,  the Executive shall have been unable to perform the
essential  functions of his position,  even with reasonable  accommodation  that
does not impose an undue hardship on the Company,  on a full-time  basis for the
entire period of six (6) consecutive  months,  and within thirty (30) days after
written  notice of termination is given (which may occur before or after the end
of such  six-month  period),  shall not have returned to the  performance of his
duties  hereunder  on a  full-time  basis  (a  "disability"),  the  Company  may
terminate the Executive's employment hereunder.

     (d) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's  employment  hereunder
for cause. For purposes of this Agreement,  "cause" shall mean that the Company,
acting in good faith  based  upon the  information  then  known to the  Company,
determines that the Executive has engaged in or committed:  willful  misconduct;
theft,  fraud or other illegal conduct;  refusal or willingness to substantially
perform  his duties  (other than such  failure  resulting  from the  Executive's
disability) after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the
Company that  specifically  identifies the manner in which the Company  believes
the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;  insubordination;  any
willful act that is likely to and which does in fact have the effect of injuring
the  reputation  or business of the Company;  violation of any  fiduciary  duty;
violation of the executive's duty of loyalty to the Company;  or a breach of any
term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 3(d), no act, or failure to
act, on the Executive's part shall be considered  willful unless done or omitted
to be done,  by him not in good faith and  without  reasonable  belief  that his
action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  the Executive  shall not be deemed to have been terminated for cause
without  delivery  to the  Executive  of a notice of  termination  signed by the
Company's  Chairman or Chief  Executive  Officer stating that, in the good faith
opinion of the officer  signing such  notice,  the  Executive  has engaged in or
committed  conduct of the nature  described above in the second sentence of this
Section 3(d), and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     4. Payments upon Termination.

     (a) Without  Cause or with Good Reason.  In the event that the  Executive's
employment  is  terminated  by the  Company  for any reason  other  than  death,
disability or cause as defined in Section 3(b),  (c) and (d) of this  Agreement,
or in the event that the Executive terminates his employment hereunder with Good
Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive severance pay in an aggregate
amount equal to 200% of his Annual  Compensation,  which shall be payable in one
lump sum,  less any  amounts  required  to be  withheld  by  applicable  law, in
exchange for a valid  release of all claims the  Executive  may have against the
Company in a form  acceptable  to the Company.  The Company will also pay to the
Executive  any earned but unused  vacation  time at the rate of pay in effect on
the date of the notice of termination.

     (b) Annual  Compensation.  For purposes of this Section 4, the term "Annual
Compensation" means an amount equal to the Executive's annual base salary at the
rate in effect  on the date on which  the  Executive  received  or gave  written
notice of his termination, plus the sum of (i) an amount equal to the average of
the  Executive's  two most recent annual  bonuses,  if any,  received  under the
Company's Incentive  Compensation Plan prior to the notice of termination,  (ii)
the Executive's annual car allowance,  if any, and (iii) an amount determined by
the Company from time to time in its sole  discretion to be equal to the average
annual  cost for  Company  employees  of  obtaining  medical,  dental and vision
insurance under COBRA, which amount is hereby initially determined to be $5,000.

     (c) Good  Reason.  For  purposes of this  Section 4 the term "Good  Reason"
means:

          (i) any reduction in the Executive's annual base salary,  except for a
general one-time "across-the-board" salary  reduction  not exceeding ten percent
(10%) which is imposed simultaneously on all officers of the Company; or

          (ii) the  Company  requires  the  Executive  to  be based at an office
location which will result in an increase of more than  thirty (30) miles in the
Executive's one-way commute; or

          (iii) there  shall occur a "change of control" of the Company  and, at
any time concurrent with or during the six-month period following such change of
control, the Executive shall  have  sent to the Chief  Executive  Officer of the
Company or  the  party acting  in such capacity a written notice terminating his
employment on a date specified in said notice.  For purposes of this  Agreement,
the term "change of control" shall mean the occurrence of one of the following:

               (1) any  "person,"  as such  term is used in  Sections  13(d) and
               14(d)(2) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
               "1934  Act") is,  becomes  or enters a contract  to  become,  the
               "beneficial   owner,"   as  such  term  is  used  in  Rule  13d-3
               promulgated  under  the 1934  Act,  directly  or  indirectly,  of
               securities representing  twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
               voting common stock of the Company;

               (2) all or substantially all of the  business  of the  Company is
               disposed  of, or a contract is entered  into to dispose of all of
               the business of the Company  pursuant to a merger,  consolidation
               or  other  transaction  in  which  (a)  the  Company  is not  the
               surviving company or (b) the stockholders of the Company prior to
               the  transaction  do not  continue to own at least sixty  percent
               (60%) of the surviving corporation;

               (3) the Company is materially or completely liquidated; or

               (4) any person  (other  than the  Company)  purchases  any common
               stock of the  Company  in a tender  or  exchange  offer  with the
               intent,   expressed  or  implied,   of  purchasing  or  otherwise
               acquiring control of the Company.

     Notwithstanding clause (1) above, a "change of control" shall not be deemed
to have  occurred  solely  because  a person  shall be,  become or enter  into a
contract to become the  beneficial  owner of 25% or more,  but less than 40%, of
the voting  common  stock of the  Company,  if and for so long as such person is
bound by, and in  compliance  with, a contract with the Company  providing  that
such  person may not  nominate,  vote for, or select more than a minority of the
directors of the Company. The exception provided by the preceding sentence shall
cease  to  apply  with  respect  to  any  person  upon  expiration,  waiver,  or
non-compliance with any such contract, by which such person was bound.

     (d) Release of all Claims.  The Executive  understands  and agrees that the
Company's  obligation to pay the Executive severance pay under this Agreement is
subject to the  Executive's  execution of a valid written  waiver and release of
all  claims  which  the  Executive  may have  against  the  Company  and/or  its
successors  in a  form  acceptable  to the  Company  in its  sole  and  absolute
discretion.

     (e)  Death,  Disability  or  Cause.  In  the  event  that  the  Executive's
employment is terminated  due to death,  disability or cause,  the Company shall
not be  obligated  to pay the  Executive  any amount  other than  earned  unused
vacation,  reimbursement for business expenses incurred prior to his termination
and in compliance  with the  Company's  reimbursement  policies,  and any unpaid
salary  for  days  worked  prior  to the  termination.

     5. Successors; Binding Agreement.

     (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect,  by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business  and/or  assets of the  Company,  by  agreement  in form and  substance
satisfactory  to the  Executive,  to expressly  assume and agree to perform this
Agreement  in the same manner and to the same  extent that the Company  would be
required to perform it if no such  succession  had taken  place.  Failure of the
Company to obtain such  assumption and agreement prior to the  effectiveness  of
any such  succession  shall be a breach of this  Agreement and shall entitle the
Executive  to  compensation  from the Company in the same amount and on the same
terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if he terminated  his  employment for
good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on
which  any  such  succession  becomes  effective  shall  be  deemed  the date of
termination.  As used in this  Agreement,  "Company"  shall mean the  Company as
herein  before  defined  and any  successor  to its  business  and/or  assets as
aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section
5 or which  otherwise  becomes  bound by all the  terms and  provisions  of this
Agreement by operation of law.

     (b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to
the  benefit  of and  be  enforceable  by  the  Executive's  personal  or  legal
representatives,  executors,  administrator,  successors,  heirs,  distributees,
devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still
be payable to him  hereunder  if he had  continued  to live,  all such  amounts,
unless otherwise provided herein,  shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement to the  Executive's  devisee,  legatee,  or other designee or, if
there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

     6. Notices.  For the purposes of this Agreement,  notices,  demands and all
other  communications  provided  for in this  Agreement  shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given  when  delivered  or  (unless  otherwise
specified)  mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

period of his employment by the Company and for a period of one year thereafter,
he will not influence or attempt to influence customers of the Company or any of
its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, either directly or indirectly,

own employment to work for any other business,  individual,  partnership,  firm,
corporation, or other entity.

     9. Confidential Information.

     (a) The  Executive,  in the  performance  of his  duties  on  behalf of the
Company,  shall have  access to,  receive  and be  entrusted  with  confidential
information,  including but not limited to systems technology, field operations,
reimbursement,  development, marketing,  organizational,  financial, management,
administrative,  clinical, customer,  distribution and sales information,  data,
specifications  and  processes  presently  owned  or at any  time in the  future
developed, by the Company or its agents or consultants,  or used presently or at
any time in the future in the course of its business that is not otherwise  part
of the public  domain  (collectively,  the  "Confidential  Material").  All such
Confidential  Material  is  considered  secret  and  will  be  available  to the
Executive in  confidence.  Except in the  performance of duties on behalf of the
Company,  the  Executive  shall  not,  directly  or  indirectly  for any  reason
whatsoever,  disclose  or  use  any  such  Confidential  Material,  unless  such
Confidential  Material  ceases  (through  no  fault  of the  Executive's)  to be
confidential  because it has  become  part of the public  domain.  All  records,
files,  drawings,  documents,  notes, disks,  diskettes,  tapes, magnetic media,
photographs,  equipment and other tangible items, wherever located,  relating in
any way to the  Confidential  Material or otherwise to the  Company's  business,
which the  Executive  prepares,  uses or  encounters  during  the  course of his
employment,  shall be and remain the Company's  sole and exclusive  property and
shall  be  included  in the  Confidential  Material.  Upon  termination  of this
Agreement by any means,  or whenever  requested by the  Company,  the  Executive
shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all of the Confidential  Material,
not previously delivered to the Company, that may be or at any previous time has
been in the Executive's possession or under the Executive's control.

     (b) The Executive hereby  acknowledges that the sale or unauthorized use or
disclosure of any of the Company's Confidential Material by any means whatsoever
and at any time  before,  during or after the  Executive's  employment  with the
Company shall constitute unfair  competition.  The Executive agrees he shall not
engage in unfair  competition  either during the time employed by the Company or
any time thereafter.

     10.  Parachute  Limitation.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of this
Agreement,  the  Executive  shall not have any right to receive  any  payment or
other benefit under this Agreement,  any other agreement, or any benefit plan if
such right, payment or benefit,  taking into account all other rights,  payments
or benefits to or for the Executive under this Agreement,  all other agreements,
and all  benefit  plans,  would  cause any  right,  payment  or  benefit  to the
Executive under this Agreement to be considered a "parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section  280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code as then in effect (a
"Parachute  Payment").  In the event  that the  receipt of any such right or any
other  payment or benefit  under this  Agreement,  any other  agreement,  or any
benefit  plan would cause the  Executive  to be  considered  to have  received a
Parachute Payment under this Agreement, then the Executive shall have the right,
in the  Executive's  sole  discretion,  to designate  those rights,  payments or
benefits under this Agreement,  any other agreements,  and/or any benefit plans,
that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the right, payment or
benefit  to the  Executive  under  this  Agreement  be deemed to be a  Parachute
Payment.

     11.  Modification  and  Waiver.  No  provisions  of this  Agreement  may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver,  modification or discharge is
agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and the Chief Executive  Officer or
the  President of the  Company.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time of
any breach by the other party hereto of, or  compliance  with,  any condition or
provision of this  Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed
a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations,  oral, or otherwise,
express or implied,  with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by
either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.  The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of  California  without  regard to is  conflicts of law
principles.

     12.  Validity.  The  invalidity  or  unenforceability  of any  provision or
provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or  enforceability of
any other  provision  of this  Agreement,  which shall  remain in full force and
effect.

     13.   Counterparts.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or  more
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original  but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

     14. Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
with this  Agreement or  Executive's  employment by the Company shall be settled
exclusively by  arbitration,  conducted  before a single  neutral  arbitrator in
accordance  with the  American  Arbitration  Association's  National  Rules  for
Resolution of Employment Disputes as then in effect.  Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that

e.  Other Benefits - The Company will provide Executive with health insurance and other benefits consistent
with Company policy for senior executives.

will require the prior approval of the Walker Interactive Board of Directors.

7.Termination of Employment.  Executive and the Company each acknowledge that either party has the
right to terminate Executive's employment with the Company at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without advance notice.
This at-will employment relationship cannot be changed except in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

7.1Company-Initiated Termination.

(a)If the Executive's employment terminates due to an Involuntary Termination Without Cause
Executive shall be entitled to receive the following benefits, as severance: (i) a payment equal to Executive's Base Salary for
twelve (12) months plus Executive's target bonus for the year in which termination occurs, (ii) COBRA Continuation Benefits;
(iii) the portion of Executive's stock options that would have vested on or before the date twelve (12) months from the
occurrence of the Covered Termination shall accelerate and immediately become vested and exercisable. (iv) the period during
which Executive may exercise any and all stock options deemed vested as of the date of Executive's termination shall be extended such
that Executive will have twelve (12) months after the date of such termination to exercise such options (provided that any such
extension shall not extend the maximum term during which any such option may be exercised beyond ten (10) years).

(b)Notwithstanding section 7.1 (a) above, if the Company (i) merges or combines with any other company or
entity in a manner which produces a change of control; (ii) sells all or substantially all its assets to any other company or entity;
(iii) has forty percent (40%) or more of its stock acquired by a person and/or affiliates of such person, the Executive shall
receive: (i) continued payment of base salary for twelve (12) months following Executive's date of termination for any reason; (ii)
continued health care benefits for twelve (12) months following Executive's termination of employment under the federal COBRA law;
(iii) accelerated vesting of any and all shares, pursuant to any and all stock options granted to Executive; and (iv) twelve (12)
months after the date of Executive's termination of employment for any reason to exercise any and all vested shares subject to any
and all stock options granted to Executive (provided that any such extension shall not extend the maximum term during which any such
option may be exercised beyond ten (10) years). For the purposes of this agreement, "change of control" means a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
the merger or consolidation do not hold a majority of the shares of the resulting corporation.

(c)In the event Executive's employment is terminated at any time with Cause, all of Executive's
compensation and benefits will cease immediately, and Executive shall not be entitled to any severance benefits.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation,
severance, pay-in-lieu of notice or any other such compensation.  This severance provision does not affect the "at will" nature of
Executive's employment.

(e)Any severance payments to Executive with respect to a Company Termination or a Covered
Termination shall be subject to applicable withholding for appropriate federal, state, local (and foreign, if applicable) income and
employment taxes, and shall be payable at such time or times as the Company may elect; provided that Executive shall not
receive such severance payments at a rate slower than the Company's regularly scheduled payment dates for payroll and bonus, as
applicable.  If Executive is indebted to the Company at his date of termination, the Company reserves the right to offset any
severance payment under this Agreement by the amount of such indebtedness.  In no event shall payment of any such severance payment
be made prior to Executive's date of termination or in the absence of an effective release pursuant to Section 7.6.

7.2Executive-Initiated Termination.  Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment with the
Company at any time by giving the Chief Executive Officer thirty (30) days written notice.  In the event Executive voluntarily
terminates his employment with the Company, all of Executive's compensation and benefits will cease as of the termination date.
Executive acknowledges that he will not receive any severance pay or benefits upon such voluntary termination.  Termination of
Executive's employment due to a Constructive Termination that constitutes a Covered Termination shall not be treated as a "voluntary
termination" covered by this Section 7.2.

7.3Accrued Vacation Pay. In addition to any other amount payable under this Section 7, Executive will
be entitled to receive any accrued vacation pay in accordance with the Company's vacation pay policy then in effect for employees
generally.

7.4Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Executive shall not be required to
mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as a result of employment
by another employer or by any retirement benefits received by Executive after the date of the termination of Executive's employment
or otherwise.

7.5Tax Consequences. Executive acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company to consult with a
tax advisor or attorney with respect to the tax consequences, if any, of this Agreement to his stock option grants.

7.6Employee Agreement And Release Prior to Receipt of Benefits.  Upon the occurrence of a Company
Termination or a Covered Termination, and prior to the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement on account of such termination,
Executive shall execute the Employee Agreement and Release (the "Release") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Such
Release shall specifically relate to all of Executive's rights and claims in existence at the time of such execution and shall
confirm Executive's obligations under the Company's standard form of proprietary information and inventions agreement.  It is
understood that Executive has twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider whether to execute such Release, and Executive may revoke
such Release within seven (7) calendar days after execution.  In the event Executive does not execute such Release within the twenty-
one (21)-day period, or if Executive revokes such Release within the subsequent seven (7)-day period, no benefits shall be payable
under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be null and void. 

7.7Limitation on Competitive Activities.  While employed by the Company and during the twelve (12) month
period after the occurrence of a Company Termination or a Covered Termination, Executive will not directly or indirectly (whether for
compensation or without compensation), as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, consultant, director,
joint venturer, investor, lender, or in any other capacity whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one percent (1%) of
the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company), engage in any business activity that is competitive with the business of the
Company ("Competitive Activity").  For purposes of this Agreement, "Competitive Activity" shall be deemed to include, without
limitation, obtaining employment, performing work or providing services to SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Hyperion or QSP (or any related
corporation, partnership or other related entity).  These Competitive Activities are prohibited in addition to any limitations on
Executive's activities set forth in his Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company, and they are considered by the parties
hereto to constitute a reasonable restriction for the purpose of protecting the business of the Company.  However, if any such
limitation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period or over too
great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of
time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.  If Executive does not comply with any of the
foregoing, no benefits shall be payable under this Agreement, any benefits previously paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement
shall be repaid or surrendered to the Company, and this Agreement shall be null and void.

7.8Certain Reductions in Payments.  

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any payment, distribution or
other benefit provided by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or provided or to be provided
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a "Payment") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code") and (ii) but for this Section 7.7, be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then, in accordance with this Section 7.7, such Payments shall be
reduced to the maximum amount that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, but only if and to the
extent that such a reduction would result in Executive's receipt of Payments that are greater than the net amount Executive would
receive (after application of the Excise Tax) if no reduction is made.  The amount of required reduction, if any, shall be the
smallest amount so that the Executive's net proceeds with respect to the Payments (after taking into account payment of any Excise
Tax and all federal, state and local income, employment or other taxes) shall be maximized.  If, notwithstanding any reduction
described in this Section 7.7 (or in the absence of any such reduction), the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") determines
that a Payment is subject to the Excise Tax (or subject to a different amount of the Excise Tax than determined by the Company or the
Executive), then Section 7.7(c) shall apply.  If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this Section 7.7, Executive
shall pay the Excise Tax.

(b)All determinations required to be made under this Section 7.7 shall be made by the Company's
independent auditors.  Such auditors shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive.  Any such
reasonable determination by the Company's independent auditors shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.  The Executive shall
determine which and how much of the Payments, including without limitation any option acceleration benefits provide under this
Agreement or any option ("Option Benefits"), as the case may be, shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of
this Section 7.7, provided that, if Executive does not make such determination within ten (10) business days of the receipt of
the calculations made by the Company's independent auditors, the Company shall elect which and how much of the Option Benefits or
other Payments, as the case may be, shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.7, and
then the Company shall notify Executive promptly of such election.  Within five (5) business days thereafter, the Company shall pay
to or distribute to or for the benefit of Executive such amounts as are then due to Executive under this Agreement.

(c)As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the
initial determination by the Company's independent auditors hereunder, it is possible that Option Benefits or other Payments, as the
case may be, will have been made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Option Benefits or
other Payments, as the case may be, which will not have been made by the Company could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case,
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder.  In the event that the Company's independent auditors, based upon the
assertion of a deficiency by the IRS against Executive or the Company which the Company's independent auditors believe has a high
probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or
for the benefit of Executive shall be treated for all purposes as a loan ab initio to Executive which Executive shall
repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code;
provided, however, that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by Executive to the
Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which Executive is subject to tax
under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes.  In the event that the Company's
independent auditors, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determine that an Underpayment has occurred,
any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at the
applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

7.9Definitions.For purposes of this Section 7, the following terms are defined as
follows:

(a)"Base Salary" means Executive's base salary (excluding overtime, bonuses, draws,
commissions and other forms of additional compensation and benefits), at the rate in effect during the last regularly scheduled
payroll period immediately preceding any termination of Executive's employment.

(b)"Cause" means any of the following, as determined in good faith by the Board:
(i) an intentional act which materially injures the Company; (ii) an intentional refusal or failure to follow lawful and
reasonable directions of the Board or an individual to whom Executive reports (as appropriate); (iii) a willful and habitual
neglect of duties; or (iv) a conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude which is reasonably likely to inflict or has
inflicted material injury on the Company.

(c)"Change of Control" means that the Company (i) merges or combines with any other
company or entity and the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the
merger or consolidation do not hold a majority of the shares of the resulting corporation; (ii) sells all or substantially all
its assets to any other company or entity; or (iii) has forty percent (40%) or more of its stock acquired by a person and/or
affiliates of such person.

(d)"COBRA Continuation Benefits" means that Executive shall receive the following benefits:
Executive and Executive's covered dependents who are enrolled in a health or dental plan sponsored by the Company may be eligible to
continue coverage under such health or dental plan (or to convert to an individual policy), at the time of the Executive's
termination of employment under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA").  The Company will notify the
individual of any such right to continue health coverage at the time of termination.  The Company will continue to pay its share of
Executive's health insurance premiums until:  (i) in the case of a Company Termination, three (3) months after the date
of termination; and (ii) in the case of a Covered Termination, the earlier of twelve (12) months after the date of
termination or such time as the Executive becomes eligible to participate in another employer's health insurance plan (the "COBRA
Period"); provided that Executive elects to continue coverage under COBRA and timely pays Executive's portion of the premiums.
No provision of this Agreement will affect the continuation coverage rules under COBRA, except that the Company's payment of any
applicable insurance premiums during the COBRA Period will be credited as payment by Executive for purposes of Executive's payment
required under COBRA.  Therefore, the period during which Executive must elect to continue the Company's group medical or dental
coverage at his or her own expense under COBRA, the length of time during which COBRA coverage will be made available to the
Executive, and all other rights and obligations of Executive under COBRA (except the obligation to pay insurance premiums that the
Company pays during the COBRA Period) will be applied in the same manner that such rules would apply in the absence of this
Agreement.

(e)"Constructive Termination" means that Executive voluntarily terminates employment after
any of the following are undertaken without Executive's express written consent:  (A) the assignment to Executive of any duties
or responsibilities which result in a diminution or adverse change of Executive's position, status or circumstances of employment;
provided, however, that a mere change in Executive's title or reporting relationship shall not constitute a Constructive
Termination; (B) a reduction by the Company in Executive's Base Salary; (C) a relocation of Executive's business office to
a location more than thirty (30) miles from the location at which Executive performs duties as of the date of this Agreement, except
for required travel by Executive on the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with Executive's business travel
obligations; (D) any breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any other material agreement between Executive
and the Company concerning Executive's employment; or (E) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement
by any successor or assign of the Company.

(f)"Involuntary Termination Without Cause" means Executive's dismissal or discharge other
than for Cause.  The termination of Executive's employment as a result of Executive's death or disability will not be deemed to be an
Involuntary Termination Without Cause.

8.Indemnification and Directors and Officers Insurance.
The Company shall indemnify Executive for all acts or omissions of Executive while Executive is serving as an officer or director
of the Company to the fullest extent not prohibited either by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or by the laws of
the State in which the Company is incorporated.  If the Company chooses to insure some or all of this liability or related
liabilities through the purchase of a directors and officers liability insurance policy ("D&O Insurance Policy"), Executive shall
at all times be a named insured on such policy while Executive is an officer or director of the Company and the Company is paying the
premiums on any D&O Insurance Policy.

9.NONEXCLUSIVITY.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive's continuing or
future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices provided by the Company and for
which Executive may otherwise qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Executive may have under
other agreements with the Company.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, amounts which are vested benefits or which
Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of the Company at or subsequent to the date of
a Covered Termination or Company Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program.

10.Attorneys Fees. The Company shall pay reasonable legal
fees and costs incurred by Executive in the negotiation and drafting of this agreement, up to a maximum of $5,000.

11.Notices.  All notices, request, consents and other communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or delivered by registered or
certified mail (return receipt requested), or private overnight mail (delivery confirmed by such service), to the address listed
below (or to such other address as either party shall designate by notice in writing to the other in accordance herein):

Exhibit B

EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

 

I understand and agree completely to the terms set forth in the foregoing agreement.

I hereby confirm my obligations under the Walker Interactive Systems, Inc.'s (the "Company") proprietary
information and inventions agreement.

In granting the release herein, I acknowledge that I understand that I am waiving the benefit of any provision
of law in any jurisdiction to the following effect:  "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected her
settlement with the debtor."  (California Civil Code section 1542).  I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and
benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the release of
unknown and unsuspected claims granted in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, I hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the Company,
its parents and subsidiaries, and its and their respective officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, shareholders,
successors, assigns and affiliates, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses,
attorneys fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown,
suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed (other than any claim for indemnification I may have as a result of any third
party action against me based on my employment with the Company), arising out of or in any way related to agreements, events, acts or
conduct at any time prior to the date I execute this Agreement, including but not limited to:  all such claims and demands directly
or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected with my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment,
including but not limited to, claims of intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, any and all tort claims for
personal injury, claims or demands related to salary, bonuses, commissions, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in
the Company, vacation pay, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, severance pay, or any other form of compensation; claims pursuant
to any federal, state or local law or cause of action including, but not limited to, the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended; the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended ("ADEA"); the federal Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended; the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the California Fair Employment and Housing
Act, as amended; tort law; contract law; wrongful discharge; harassment; discrimination; fraud; defamation; emotional distress; and
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed in any way to release the Company from its obligation to indemnify me pursuant to the Company's indemnification
agreement.

I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA.  I
also acknowledge that the consideration given for the waiver and release in the preceding paragraph hereof is in addition to anything
of value to which I was already entitled.  I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA,
that:  (A) my waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims
that may arise on or after the date I execute this Agreement; (B) I have
the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (C) I have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement (although I may choose to voluntarily execute this Agreement
earlier); (D) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this
Agreement by the parties to revoke the Agreement; and (E) this
Agreement shall not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired, which shall be the eighth day after
this Agreement is executed by me, provided that the Company has also executed this Agreement by that date (the "Effective Date").
