                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                  This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") is made as of the 15th
day of March, 2002, by and between MECHANICAL DYNAMICS, INC., a Michigan
corporation (the "Company"), having its offices located at 2300 Traverwood
Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105, and MICHAEL E. KORYBALSKI, of Ann Arbor,
Michigan ("Employee").

                  WHEREAS, the Company and Employee are parties to that certain
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2002 (the
"Agreement"); and

                  WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend the
Agreement in certain respects.

                  NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                  1. Section 8 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

                           "8. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. Employee agrees that during
         the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the
         termination or expiration of this Agreement, or five (5) years after
         the termination or expiration of this Agreement if the Merger (as
         defined below) has been consummated, he will not directly or
         indirectly, for his own benefit, or for or with any other person, firm,
         or corporation (a) own, manage, engage in, be employed by, or consult
         for, any business in the United States which competes directly with the
         business presently conducted by the Company, or (b) encourage, solicit,
         attempt to hire as an employee or consultant or otherwise attempt to
         persuade any other employee of the Company to leave the employ of the
         Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the "business presently
         conducted by the Company" shall mean the development, manufacture,
         marketing or licensing of computer programs or software for mechanical
         systems simulation (often referred to as "multi-body system analysis").
         Employee further agrees that the Company's remedy at law for any breach
         of this restrictive covenant is inadequate and that the Company shall
         be entitled to injunctive relief with respect to any breach of this
         covenant. For purposes of this Section 8, the "Merger" shall be the
         Merger as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
         as of March 15, 2002, among MSC.Software Corporation, MSC Acquisition
         II Corp. and the Company, as it may be amended from time to time."

                  2. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment,
the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as written.

as provided in the following sentence, the Closing Date Statement will include
only the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, and shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and the
accounting practices used to prepare the Carve-Out Financial Statements
consistent with the Business Books and Records. The Closing Date Statement will
(i) also include as an Asset all outstanding obligations of customers of Sellers
to make payments to Sellers for Products delivered or services rendered relating
to the Business but with respect to which the customers have not yet been
invoiced or billed and (ii) will not include any reference to severance payments
or obligations. Parent and Purchasers acknowledge that Sellers have not
historically included a separate reserve for receivables related to the EISD
Division, and the Closing Date Statement will include a reasonable reserve for
accounts receivable, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

                  (b)      In the event that the amount calculated by
subtracting the Assumed Liabilities from the Assets as set forth on the Closing
Date Statement (the "Adjusted Net Worth") is greater than $2,175,000.00, Parent
and Purchasers shall pay Sellers in cash the difference between the Adjusted Net
Worth and $2,175,000.00. If the Adjusted Net Worth is less than $2,175,000.00,
Sellers shall pay Parent and Purchasers in cash the difference between
$2,175,000.00 and the Adjusted Net Worth. Payment shall be made by wire transfer
within three (3) business days after the parties either agree upon the
difference or the difference is determined as set forth in Section 1.06(c).

                  (c)      Parent and Purchasers shall have the right to review
fully all work papers relating to the Closing Date Statement in order to confirm
that such Closing Date Statement has

                                       7

<PAGE>

been determined as provided herein. Parent and Purchasers shall complete their
review of such Closing Date Statement within thirty (30) days after such
determination and related documentation have been made available for its review.
If Parent and Purchasers believe that any adjustment should be made to such
Closing Date Statement in order for said amount to be determined in accordance
with the requirements of this Section, Parent and Purchasers shall give the
Sellers written notice of such adjustments. If the Sellers agree with the
adjustments proposed by Parent and Purchasers, the adjustments shall be made to
such Closing Date Statement. If there are proposed adjustments which are
disputed by the Sellers, then the Sellers and Parent and Purchasers shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed adjustments. If, after a period
of thirty (30) days following the date on which Parent and Purchasers gives the
Sellers written notice of any proposed adjustments, any such adjustments still
remain disputed, Parent and Purchasers and the Sellers will jointly engage
Deloitte & Touche LLP (the "Independent Accountant") to resolve any remaining
disputed adjustments in accordance with this Agreement, and the decision of such
firm shall be final, binding and nonappealable on the parties hereto and shall
be deemed a final arbitration award that is enforceable pursuant to the terms of
the Federal Arbitration Act. Payment required under Section 1.06(b) and (c)
shall be tendered within three (3) business days after the earlier of the
agreement of the parties on the amount thereof or a written notice of any
resolution of such amount has been given by the Independent Accountant to the
parties hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred
in connection with such resolution shall be split equally between the parties.

generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that

or attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, the non-payment of which would
result in a Lien on any Asset, would otherwise adversely affect the Business or

cancel, terminate or refuse to renew (if renewable) such license or to exercise
or decline to exercise any option or right thereunder, and Sellers have used the
Third Party Technology in accordance with all of the terms of the Third Party

Sellers free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Except as set
forth on Section 2.15(d) of the Disclosure Schedule and other than nonexclusive
licenses granted in the ordinary course of business, Sellers have not granted to
any third party any rights or permissions to use any of the Intellectual
Property Assets. Sellers have not received any notice or claim (whether written,
oral or otherwise) challenging Sellers' ownership or rights in the Intellectual
Property Assets or claiming that any other person or entity has any legal or
beneficial ownership with respect thereto or challenging the validity or
enforceability of the Intellectual Property Assets.

                  (e)      Except as set forth in Section 2.15(e) of the
Disclosure Schedule, Sellers have obtained an enforceable written assignment of

Assets owned by Sellers from each person or entity participating in the
discovery, development or creation of such item and, except with respect to
employees, have provided to Parent and Purchasers true and correct copies of
each such assignment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15(e) of the
Disclosure Schedule, Sellers have no obligation to compensate, or to obtain the
consent of, any third party for the use of any item of the Intellectual Property
Assets. Since January 1, 1998, all employees, independent contractors, or other
persons

                                       14

<PAGE>

who have had access to or participated in the development in any of the
Intellectual Property Assets owned by Sellers have signed appropriate
confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and, in the case of independent
contractors, appropriate work for hire agreements and assignments, sufficient to
protect Sellers' ownership rights in the Intellectual Property Assets and the
unauthorized use or disclosure of same. All registrations and applications to
register the Intellectual Property Assets in each of the countries in which any
of the same is registered are valid and subsisting in all respects and have been
properly maintained in all material respects. No party has asserted any claim to
any moral rights with respect to the Intellectual Property Assets owned by
Sellers.

a complete list (but, in the case of nonexclusive licenses granted by Sellers in
the ordinary course of Business, only since January 1, 1998) of all software
licenses (other than evaluation licenses) for the Products, which list
identifies for each such software license (i) the end user, (ii) the Products
licensed, (iii) any license fees payable after the date of this Agreement, (iv)
any continuing obligations of Sellers under such software license, and (v) the
term of the software license. Except for software licenses and as otherwise
provided on Section 2.15(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, Sellers have not granted
any license or other right to use, in any manner, any item of Intellectual
Property Assets, whether or not requiring the payment of royalties, and no third
party has any right to use any of the Intellectual Property Assets owned by
Sellers. Except as set forth on Section 2.15(f) of the Disclosure Schedule,
Sellers have not licensed, leased, sold or otherwise transferred or disclosed
the source code for any of the Products to any person or entity other than to
Sellers' employees and independent contractors pursuant to an agreement with
such employees and independent contractors protecting the intellectual property
rights therein and the nondisclosure thereof.

                  (g)      Neither Sellers' operation of the Business prior to
Closing nor the Intellectual Property Assets infringe, violate or interfere with
or constitute a misappropriation of any right, title or interest (including,
without limitation, any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right) held
by any other person or entity. Sellers have not received any notice or claim
(whether written, oral or otherwise) regarding any infringement,
misappropriation, misuse, abuse or other interference with any third party
intellectual property or proprietary rights (including, without limitation,
infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right of any
third party) by either Sellers' operation of the Business or the Intellectual
Property Assets.

                  (h)      There is neither pending nor to the Knowledge of
Sellers threatened any suit, action, claim, arbitration, grievance, litigation,
administrative or legal or other proceeding, or investigation, against Sellers
or its licensors contesting the validity of, or Sellers' right to use, any of
the Intellectual Property Assets.

                  (i)      To the Sellers' Knowledge, no other person or entity
is infringing or misappropriating the Intellectual Property Assets.

                  (j)      Except as disclosed on Section 2.15(j) to the
Disclosure Schedule, (i) Sellers have not disclosed any source code to any
person or entity (excluding employees, independent contractors and former

                  (k)      Except as set forth on Section 2.15(k) of the
Disclosure Schedule, each Product functions substantially in accordance with the
published documentation and specifications therefor. All of the Products are
available in "general release form" (as opposed to only "alpha," "beta" or
"early release" forms) and there exists user and technical documentation that
describes the functionality provided by such Products, which user and technical
documentation is substantially complete and accurate.

                  (l)      Section 2.15(l) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth

Receivable are expected to be collectible by the Purchasers in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice in 90 days or less.

are duly qualified, licensed or admitted to do business and are in good standing
in each jurisdiction where the ownership, use or leasing of their respective
assets and properties, or the conduct or the nature of their business makes such
qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except for such failures to be

expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition of
Parent and Purchasers taken as a whole (a "Parent Material Adverse Effect").

Purchasers of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which they are a
party, and the performance by Parent and Purchasers of their obligations
hereunder and thereunder, have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of
Directors of Parent and Purchasers, respectively, no other corporate action on
the part of Parent or Purchasers being necessary. This Agreement has been duly

of Parent and Purchasers enforceable against Parent and Purchasers in accordance
with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to creditors rights and to general principles of equity.

violation or breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the

Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent or Purchasers, threatened
against, relating to or affecting Parent or Purchasers or any of their
respective assets and properties which could reasonably be expected to result in
the issuance of an Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or

Documents (as defined below), there are no suits, actions or legal,

and the transaction contemplated hereby have been carried out by Parent and
Purchasers directly with Sellers without the intervention of any Person on

<PAGE>

                  4.03     Negative Covenants. Except as otherwise expressly
permitted by this Agreement, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date, Sellers will not, without the prior written consent of Parent and

conditioned), Sellers will not:

                  (a)      settle any pending Actions or Proceedings or obtain
any releases of threatened Actions or Proceedings if (i) such settlement or
release would impose restrictions on Sellers' ability to conduct the Business or
may adversely affect Sellers other than by reason of Sellers' payment of monies
thereunder or (ii) the amounts payable by Sellers pursuant to such settlement or
release would exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) and such
settlement liability is to be assumed by Parent and Purchasers hereunder;

                  (b)      invoice or bill any customer for licensee fees,

consistent with past practice; or

                  (e)      take any action, or fail to take any action within
any Seller's reasonable control, which would result in any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Article II not being true and
correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such
representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date.

                  4.04     No Negotiation. Until such time, if any, as this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article XI, Sellers will not, nor will any
Seller cause or permit any of their respective Representatives to, directly or
indirectly, solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries or proposals from,
discuss or negotiate with, or provide any nonpublic information to, any Person
(other than Parent and Purchasers and their Representatives) relating to any
transaction involving the sale of the Business or any material portion of the
Assets (an "Acquisition Transaction"). Sellers covenant that from the date
hereof through the Closing Date (or the termination of this Agreement), Sellers
will not, directly or indirectly, enter into or authorize, or permit any
Representative to enter into, any negotiation, letter of intent, commitment,
agreement, understanding, or agreement in principle with any third Person for an
Acquisition Transaction. Sellers covenant and agree to inform Parent and
Purchasers in writing by facsimile within twenty-four (24) hours following the

reasonable best efforts to promptly correct and supplement the information set
forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement
in order to cause such Disclosure Schedule to remain correct and complete in all
respects. Sellers' delivery to Parent and Purchasers of any corrections or
supplements will, without further notice or action on the part of Sellers or
Parent and Purchasers, immediately and automatically constitute an amendment to
the Disclosure Schedule to which such corrections and supplements relate;
provided, however, that solely for purposes of determining whether the condition
precedent pursuant to Section 5.01 has been satisfied, or whether Parent and
Purchasers have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections
11.01(b) or (d), any such amendment to the Disclosure Schedule will be
disregarded.

timely given under Article IX on or

                                       28

<PAGE>

prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has
been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Article IX and in the Escrow
Agreement. The covenants and agreements of Sellers and the other parties
contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until all obligations with
respect thereto have been performed or shall have been terminated in accordance
with their terms.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                   INDEMNIFICATION; POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS

                  9.01     Indemnification.

                  (a)      Subject to the other Sections of this Article IX,
Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties
in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all
Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them
becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty on the part of any Seller contained in
this Agreement (determined in all cases as if the terms "material" or
"materially" were not included therein); (ii) any nonfulfillment of or failure
to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller contained in this
Agreement or (iii) any failure to timely pay, perform and discharge the Retained
Liabilities or any Loss suffered by Parent or Purchasers from the operation of
the business prior to the Closing Date (other than Losses relating to Assumed
Liabilities). For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification claims related to
misrepresentation or breach of warranty shall be made pursuant to subsection (i)
above.

                  (b)      Subject to the other Sections of this Article IX,
Parent and Purchasers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Seller
Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and
against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to
which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty on the part of Parent or
Purchasers contained in this Agreement (determined in all cases as if the terms
"material" or "materially" were not included therein); (ii) any nonfulfillment
of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or
Purchasers contained in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by Parent or
Purchasers (as applicable) to comply with the terms and conditions of the
webMethods License or the webMethods Option; (iv) any failure to timely pay,
perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities or any Loss suffered by Sellers
from the operation of the Business after the Closing Date or (v) any allegation
of discriminatory hiring practices of Employees by Purchasers, made by any
Employee that does not receive an offer of employment from Purchasers or any
Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification claims related to
misrepresentation or breach of warranty shall be made pursuant to subsection (i)
above.

                  9.02     Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for
indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.01 will be asserted and
resolved as follows:

                  (a)      In the event any claim or demand in respect of which
an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.01 is asserted against
or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a
Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified

                                       29

<PAGE>

Party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim
Notice with reasonable promptness to the Escrow Agent and the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with
reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, but only to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been irreparably prejudiced
by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the
Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the Dispute
Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified
Party under Section 9.02 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole
cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party
Claim.

                  (i)      If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Escrow Agent
         and the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the
         Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect
         to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.02(a), then the
         Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, with counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and
         expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all
         appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be reasonably,
         vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a
         final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the
         Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party
         in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than
         the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of
         monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party will not be
         indemnified in full by reason of Section 9.03). The Indemnifying Party
         will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any
         compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the
         Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified
         Party, at any time subsequent to the delivery of a Claim Notice to the
         Indemnified Party and prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the
         notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9.02(a)(i),
         file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action
         that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or
         appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if
         requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the
         sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable
         cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party
         Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest; and provided,
         further, that the Indemnified Party may choose separate counsel at the
         sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party in the event that a
         conflict of interest arises between the Indemnified Party and the
         Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not
         control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled
         by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.02(a)(i), and
         except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party
         will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such
         participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may
         take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party
         Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under
         Section 9.02 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

                  (ii)     If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense
         of the Third Party Claim within the Dispute Period or fails to
         prosecute reasonably, vigorously and diligently or settle the Third
         Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right

                                       30

<PAGE>

         to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
         Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
         will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and
         in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified
         Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will
         not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full
         control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or
         settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the
         Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and
         expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to
         the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party
         Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a)(ii), if the Indemnifying
         Party has notified the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Party within
         the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability
         hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
         Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying
         Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying
         Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the
         Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this Section 9.02(a)(ii) or of
         the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the Indemnified
         Party's request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the
         Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses
         incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.
         The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense
         or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this
         Section 9.02(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs
         and expenses with respect to such participation.

                  (iii)    If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Escrow Agent
         and the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to
         the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under
         Section 9.02, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver a notice
         to the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Party within the Dispute
         Period, then the Loss in the amount specified in the Claim Notice will
         be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under
         Section 9.02 and the Escrow Agent or the Indemnifying Party (as
         applicable) shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party
         on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed its liability with
         respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
         Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such
         dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the
         Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a
         court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.10.

                  (b)      In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim under
Section 9.02 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable
promptness to the Escrow Agent and the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any
Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's
rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates
that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party
notifies the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the
claim described in such Indemnity Notice, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to
deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Party within the
Dispute Period, then the Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnity Notice
will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under

                                       31

<PAGE>

Section 9.02 and the Escrow Agent or the Indemnifying Party (as applicable)
shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the
Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim,
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations
within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a
court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.10.

                  9.03     Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein:

                  (a)      Except for Losses based on fraud or Losses arising
under Sections 9.01(a)(ii) or 9.01(a)(iii) or any breach of the representations

winding-down of the Business.

                  9.06     US Employee Matters.

                  (a)      Except as specifically set forth in Section 9.06(e),
Jacada-US shall have no obligation to offer employment to, or employ, any
Employees in the United States ("US Employees") and Jacada-US shall have no
liability in respect of any such US Employees for salary, compensation,
severance, stock options or stock option plans, health, welfare, retirement or
other benefits arising out of employment with Sellers. Jacada-US shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to offer employment to any US Employee, and
Sellers shall have no influence or control over the selection process. Prior to
Closing, Sellers shall advise all US Employees that: (i) their employment with
Sellers shall terminate immediately prior to the Closing Date; (ii) Sellers
shall offer its severance practice as provided in subsection (iii) below; and
(iii) upon termination of employment, they will be entitled to severance pay
from Sellers in an amount to be calculated in accordance with Sellers' Standard
Severance Practice (or in a greater amount, in the case of US Employees with
agreements providing for same), but only in the event that they do not receive
an offer of employment from Jacada-US or any Seller on or prior to the sixty-day
anniversary of the Closing Date (regardless of whether they accept any such
offer of employment). Sellers shall indemnify and hold Parent and Purchasers
harmless against any and all damages, losses and liabilities associated with or
related to the failure of Sellers to pay severance amounts to US Employees in
accordance with Sellers' Standard Severance Practice.

                  (b)      To the extent permitted by applicable law and the
terms of the applicable Benefit Plans, US Employees of Sellers that are hired by
Jacada-US shall receive credit for eligibility to participate and vesting under
Jacada-US's Benefit Plans for years of service with Sellers (and their
respective subsidiaries and predecessors).

                  (c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Sellers shall provide "continuation coverage" to all "M&A qualified
beneficiaries" in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, all as
determined pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code and the
regulations thereunder and Section 601 of ERISA et seq. Sellers shall indemnify
and hold Parent and Purchasers harmless against any and all damages, losses and
liabilities associated with or related to the Sellers' failure to comply with
COBRA.

                  (d)      Sellers shall be responsible for providing any notice
of layoff or plant closings required, and any severance pay or other liabilities
or obligations to US Employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act of 1988 ("WARN"), any successor federal law, and any applicable
foreign, state or local plant closing notification statute. Sellers shall

                                       33
<PAGE>

indemnify and hold Parent and Purchasers harmless against any and all damages,
losses and liabilities associated with or related to Sellers' failure to comply
with WARN and such other laws.

                  (e)      Promptly after Closing, Parent or Purchasers shall
reimburse Sellers for severance obligations actually paid by Sellers to US
Employees that do not receive an offer of employment from Jacada-US or any
Seller (regardless of whether they accept any such offer of employment), but
only in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, 100% of the amount reflected
in the column entitled "Base Severance" and 50% of the amount reflected in the
column entitled "Additional Severance" on Exhibit 9.06(e) for each applicable US
Employee, subject to Sellers providing reasonable documentation of such
expenses. In the event that one or more US Employees thereafter receives an
offer of employment from any Seller on or prior to the sixty-day anniversary of
the Closing Date (regardless of whether they accept any such offer of
employment), Sellers shall refund to Parent or Purchasers (as applicable) the
associated severance costs previously paid to Sellers by Parent or Purchasers
(as applicable). The foregoing reimbursement obligation shall be referred to
herein as the "Severance Reimbursement Obligation".

                  9.07     UK Employee Matters.

                  (a)      The parties acknowledge and agree that the sale and
purchase pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a relevant transfer for the
purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations
(the "Transfer Regulations") and that it will not operate so as to terminate any
of the contracts of employment of the Employees employed in the Business in the
United Kingdom (the "UK Employees") and such contracts shall be transferred to
Jacada-UK pursuant to the Transfer Regulations with effect from the Closing
Date.

                  (b)      Jacada-UK hereby undertakes to CNTUK:

                  (i)      to perform and observe, on and from the Closing Date,
         all employer obligations (whether arising under common law, statute,
         equity or otherwise) under or in connection with the contracts of
         employment of the UK Employees (or any of the said obligations CNTUK
         would have had under or in connection with the said contracts but for
         the Transfer Regulations); and

                  (ii)     fully to indemnify and keep indemnified the Sellers
         against all losses, damages, costs, actions, awards, penalties, fines,
         proceedings, claims, demands, liabilities (including without limitation
         any liability to Taxes), and expenses (including, without limitation,
         legal and other professional fees and expenses) which the Sellers may
         suffer, sustain, incur, pay or be put to by reason or on account of or
         arising from: (A) any failure by Jacada-UK to comply with its
         obligations under subsection (b)(i); (B) any claim or other legal
         recourse by all or any of the UK Employees in respect of any fact or
         matter concerning or arising from employment with Jacada-UK on and from
         the Closing Date; (C) any claim or other legal recourse by any trade
         union or staff association or employee representatives in respect of
         all or any of the UK Employees arising from or connected with the
         failure by Jacada-UK to comply with its legal obligations to such trade
         union or staff association or employee representatives; (D) any act or
         omission done or omitted to be done by Jacada-UK in relation to the UK
         Employees on and from the Closing Date;

                                       34
<PAGE>

         (E) without prejudice to subsection (ii)(d) above, any claim or demand
         or other legal recourse against the Sellers by any UK Employee or other
         person or agent or employee or contractor who claims (whether correctly
         or not) that there has been a breach by Jacada-UK of Regulation 10 of
         the Transfer Regulations; and (F) any termination or dismissal
         (constructive, unfair or otherwise) or any steps taken to terminate the
         contract of employment, of any of the UK Employees on and from the
         Closing Date.

                  (c)      CNTUK hereby undertakes to Jacada-UK that:

                  (i)      they have performed and observed, at all times prior
         to the Closing Date, all employer obligations (whether arising under
         common law, statute, equity or otherwise) under or in connection with
         the contracts of employment of the UK Employees; and

                  (ii)     fully to indemnify and keep indemnified Parent and
         Purchasers against all losses, damages, costs, actions, awards,
         penalties, fines, proceedings, claims, demands, liabilities (including
         without limitation any liability to Taxes), and expenses (including,
         without limitation, legal and other professional fees and expenses)
         which Parent and Purchasers may suffer, sustain, incur, pay or be put
         to by reason or on account of or arising from: (A) any failure by CNTUK
         to comply with its obligations mentioned in subsection (c)(i); (B) any
         claim or other legal recourse by all or any of the UK Employees in
         respect of any fact or matter concerning or arising from employment
         with CNTUK prior to the Closing Date; (C) any claim or other legal
         recourse by any trade union or staff association or employee
         representatives in respect of all or any of the UK Employees arising
         from or connected with the failure by CNTUK to comply with its legal
         obligations to such trade union or staff association or employee
         representatives; (D) any act or omission done or omitted to be done by
         CNTUK in relation to the UK Employees prior to the Closing Date; (E)
         without prejudice to subsection (ii)(D) above, any claim or demand or
         other legal recourse against Parent or Purchasers by any UK Employee or
         other person or agent or employee or contractor who claims (whether
         correctly or not) that there has been a breach by CNTUK of Regulation
         10 of the Transfer Regulations provided that the indemnity shall not
         apply where such breach results, directly or indirectly, from a breach
         by Parent or Purchasers of such Regulation; and (F) any termination or
         dismissal (constructive, unfair or otherwise) or any steps taken to
         terminate the contract of employment, of any of the UK Employees prior
         to the Closing Date.

                  (d)      Without prejudice to the other provisions of this
clause, the Sellers shall, at the expense of Parent and Purchasers, give Parent
and Purchasers such assistance as they may reasonably require to contest any
claim by any UK Employee employed in the Business at or prior to Closing
resulting from or in connection with this Agreement if such claim is one for
which this Agreement makes Parent and Purchasers responsible; and Parent and
Purchasers shall, at the expense of Sellers, give Sellers such assistance as
they may reasonably require to contest any claim by any such employee if such
claim is one for which this Agreement makes the Sellers responsible.

                  9.08     Covenants Against Competition.

                                       35
<PAGE>

                  (a)      In order to induce Purchasers and Parent to enter
into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each
Seller agrees that neither it nor any of its respective Affiliates (but
specifically excluding outside members of their respective Boards of Directors)
shall, without the prior written consent of Parent and Purchasers, for its own
account or jointly with another, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any
Person, as principal, agent, shareholder, participant, partner, promoter,
director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, sales representative or
otherwise, except for the benefit of the Parent and Purchasers or their
Affiliates:

                  (i)      for a period of three (3) years from the date of the
         Closing, engage or invest in, or own, control, manage or participate in
         the ownership, control or management of, or render services or advice
         to, any business engaged, or which it reasonably knows is undertaking
         to become engaged, in a Competing Business in the Restricted Territory.

                  (ii)     for a period of three (3) years from the date of the
         Closing solicit, or assist in the solicitation of, any Person having an
         office or place of business within the Restricted Territory and to whom
         Sellers sold or provided any products or services related to the
         Business on, or during the two (2) year period prior to, the date of
         the Closing, for the purpose of obtaining the patronage of such Person
         for the purchase of any competitive products or services;

                  (iii)    for a period of three (3) years from the date of the
         Closing, (A) solicit, or assist in the solicitation of, for the purpose
         of offering employment to or hiring, or (B) actually hire, any Person
         employed by Parent or either Purchaser (as an employee, independent
         contractor or otherwise) that was formerly an Employee of the Business;
         or

                  (iv)     use, disclose or reveal to any Person, any
         Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Parent and
         Purchasers; provided, however, that the obligations of this clause (iv)
         shall terminate with respect to any business information that does not
         constitute a trade secret under applicable Law upon the expiration of
         three (3) years after the date of the Closing. "Confidential
         Information" means all information of the Parent and Purchasers which
         derives value, economic or otherwise, from not being generally known to
         the public, but excluding any information that comes into the public
         domain through no fault of Sellers or any information that is required
         to be disclosed by an Order or by any Law.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i)
it shall not be a breach of the covenant contained in subsection (a)(i) above
for a Seller or any of its Affiliates to own not more than five percent (5%) of
the equity interests of any Person whose equity interests are publicly traded;
(ii) it shall not be a breach of the covenant contained in subsection (a)(iii)
above for Sellers to run general advertisements for employment opportunities in
newspaper publications or otherwise; and (iii) the covenants described in this
Section 9.08 shall apply only if the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated at the Closing. If the transactions contemplated herein are
consummated, "Confidential Information" of Parent and Purchasers shall be deemed
to include all Confidential Information of Sellers related to the Business, and
Sellers shall be subject to the obligations of non-use and non-disclosure
contained in this Section 9.08 with respect to all of such information.

                                       36
<PAGE>

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, Sellers acknowledge and agree that Parent and Purchasers'
remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
Sections 9.08(a) would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by Sellers of the provisions of Sections
9.08(a), it is agreed that, in addition to its remedies at law, Parent and
Purchasers shall be entitled to equitable relief in the form of specific
performance, temporary restraining order, temporary, preliminary, or permanent
injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, including
but not limited to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other
benefits arising from or in connection with such violation. Sellers agree not to
oppose Parent and Purchasers' request for any of the above relief on the grounds
that Parent and Purchasers have not been irreparably injured or that Parent and
Purchasers have an adequate remedy at law or that such equitable relief is
inappropriate. Nothing set forth in this Section 9.08(c) shall be construed as
prohibiting Parent and Purchasers from pursuing any other rights and remedies
available to them for such breach or threatened breach.

                  (d)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
covenants described in Section 9.08(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall terminate in the
event of the acquisition of the remaining business of the Sellers by an
unrelated third party in an arms' length transaction (whether pursuant to the
acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sellers or the
capital stock of CNT, or a merger, exchange or consolidation to which CNT is a
party as a result of which the shareholders of CNT immediately prior to such
transaction will own less than 51% of the outstanding equity interests of the
surviving entity), but only in the event that both of the following conditions
are satisfied:

                  (i)      the acquisition cannot be consummated prior to the
         first anniversary of the date of Closing if the acquiring entity is
         listed on Schedule 9.08(d) attached hereto (unless such entity is
         primarily engaged in the storage networking business on the date of
         such acquisition); and

                  (ii)     if the acquiring entity is engaged in a Competing
         Business, any Employees of the Business that are re-hired by Sellers
         may not work in or with the subsidiary, division or other business unit
         of the acquiring entity that is engaged in the Competing Business.

                  9.09     Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation. At any
time or from time to time after the Closing, at Parent and Purchasers' request
and expense, but without further consideration, Sellers shall execute and
deliver to Parent and Purchasers such other instruments of sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information
and take such other actions as Parent and Purchasers may reasonably deem
necessary or desirable in order more effectively to transfer, convey and assign
to Parent and Purchasers, and to confirm Parent and Purchasers' title to, all of
the Business and the Assets, and, to the full extent permitted by Law, to put
Parent and Purchasers in actual possession and operating control of the Assets
and to assist Parent and Purchasers in exercising all rights with respect
thereto, and otherwise to cause Sellers to fulfill their obligations under this
Agreement and the Operative Agreements.

                                       37
<PAGE>

                  9.10     Third-Party Consents. To the extent that any
contract, lease, license or other agreement included in the Assets is not
assignable or transferable without the consent of another party, this Agreement
shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment thereof if such
assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof (an
"Unassigned Item"). Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts (but without
any requirement to pay money) to obtain the necessary consent to the assignment
or transfer of all Unassigned Items, and Parent and Purchasers shall cooperate
in those efforts. The beneficial interest in and to each Unassigned Item shall
in any event pass to Parent and Purchasers at Closing, and Sellers covenant and
agree to cooperate with Parent and Purchasers in any reasonable arrangement to
provide Parent and Purchasers with Sellers' entire interest in the benefits
under each Unassigned Item. If and only if such reasonable arrangement can be
made, Parent and Purchasers agrees to accept the burdens and perform the
obligations under such Unassigned Item. Furthermore, if the other party's
consent is subsequently obtained (without any modification thereto which is
adverse to Parent and Purchasers), Parent and Purchasers shall at such time
agree to assume all liabilities and obligations thereunder at which time such
Unassigned Item shall become an Asset. If and to the extent that such
arrangement cannot be made, Parent and Purchasers shall have no obligation
pursuant to Section 1.02(a) or otherwise with respect to any such Contract. The
provisions of this Section 9.10 shall not affect the right of Parent and
Purchasers not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if
the condition to its obligations hereunder contained in Section 5.06 has not
been fulfilled.

                  9.11     Submission to Jurisdiction.

                  (a)      Parent and each Purchaser agree that any legal suit,
action or proceeding instituted by any of them, arising out of or based upon
this Agreement or the Operative Agreements shall be instituted in any Federal
court in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota (or, if such courts do not have
jurisdiction, as determined by the plaintiff, in any state court in Hennepin
County, State of Minnesota), and irrevocably submits to and accepts the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such proceeding. To the extent that
CNTUK, any of its respective revenues, assets or properties has or hereafter may
acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court in Hennepin County, State of
Minnesota, CNTUK hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim, and irrevocably waives
(to the extent it lawfully may do so), any such immunity, and any defense based
on such immunity, in respect of its obligations arising out of this Agreement,
the Operative Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

                  (b)      Each Seller agree that any legal suit, action or
proceeding instituted by any of them, arising out of or based upon this
Agreement or the Operative Agreements shall be instituted in any Federal court
in Fulton County, State of Georgia (or, if such courts do not have jurisdiction,
as determined by the plaintiff, in any state court in Fulton County, State of
Georgia), and irrevocably submits to and accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of
such courts in any such proceeding. To the extent that Parent, Jacada-UK, any of
their respective revenues, assets or properties has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court in Fulton County, State of Georgia,
Parent and Jacada-UK hereby irrevocably agree not to claim, and irrevocably
waives (to the extent it lawfully may do so), any such immunity, and any defense
based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations arising out of this
Agreement, the Operative Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

<PAGE>

                  9.12     Carve-Out Financial Statements. CNT will use
reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent and Purchasers true and complete
copies of the following financial statements within thirty (30) after Closing:
(a) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of December 31,
2000 and 1999; and (b) the related audited statement of operations and cash
flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, together with
a true and correct copy of the report on such audited information by CNT's
auditors. The foregoing financial statements shall be referred to as the
"Carve-Out Financial Statements". The Carve-Out Financial Statements (i) will be
prepared from the Business Books and Records in accordance with GAAP, (ii) will
fairly present the financial condition and results of operations of the Business
as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods covered
thereby, and (iii) will be compiled from the Business Books and Records
regularly maintained by management and used to prepare the financial statements
of Sellers in accordance with the principles stated therein. CNT's auditors will
be engaged and paid by Parent and Purchasers, and Parent and Purchasers will
reimburse CNT for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Sellers in
connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Parent is
unable to engage CNT's independent auditors, CNT shall engage such auditors to
audit the Carve-Out Financial Statements, and Parent and Purchasers shall
reimburse CNT for same.

                  9.13     Accounts Receivable. The parties will make reasonable
efforts to collect all Accounts Receivable after the Closing, but neither party
shall be obligated to institute any legal proceeding or hire any collection
agent for the purpose of collecting such accounts receivable. Sellers shall
repurchase from Purchasers on the date which is ninety (90) days following the
Closing Date (or on such other date as Sellers and Purchasers mutually agree),
all such Accounts Receivable, to the extent not collected on or before such
date, for a purchase price equal to 100% of their outstanding balance. The
amount repurchased shall be net of any bad debt reserves, and with respect to
maintenance receivables, net of any remaining deferral of accrued revenue
related to the uncollectible receivable so repurchased. In determining whether
an account has been collected, payments by an account debtor shall be applied to
the oldest accounts outstanding, unless otherwise reasonably indicated by
remittance advice or similar documentation that such payment should not be
applied to the oldest accounts because of a dispute with respect to such
accounts.

                  9.14     Access to Records. Following the Closing, each party
will afford the other party, its counsel and its accountants, during normal
business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other data relating
to the Business in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing
and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such
access may be reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with (i)

                  12.02    Bulk Sales Act. The parties hereby waive compliance
with the bulk sales act or comparable statutory provisions of each applicable
jurisdiction.

                  12.03    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Operative
Agreements supersede all prior discussions and agreements between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties, and
contain the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.

                  12.04    Expenses. Except as provided in the following
sentence and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each party (Sellers
collectively, and Purchasers and Parent collectively, each being one party for
purposes of this Section 12.04) will pay its own costs and expenses (including
without limitation all broker's or finder's fees) incurred in connection with
the negotiation, execution and closing of this Agreement and the Operative
Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that Closing occurs, Jacada-US will reimburse

Statements in accordance with Section 9.13. Parent and Purchasers shall
reimburse Employees and CNT (without duplication) for all out-of-pocket travel
and lodging expenses incurred in accordance with CNT's travel policies which are
associated with job interviews by Employees with Parent and Purchasers. The
foregoing sentence shall survive termination of this Agreement.

                  12.05    Confidentiality. In connection with the negotiation
of this Agreement, a party (Sellers collectively, and Purchasers and Parent
collectively, each being one party for purposes of this Section 12.05) hereto
(the "Disclosing Party") may disclose Confidential Information to one of the
other parties hereto (the "Disclosee"). Each party agrees that if the
transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, it will return to the
Disclosing Party all documents and other written information furnished to it.
Each party further agrees not to use, except for purposes of accomplishing the
transactions contemplated herein, and not to disclose or reveal to any other
Person (except in connection with financing transactions or mergers and
acquisitions where the recipient has executed a confidentiality agreement) any
of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information (other than to such party's
Affiliates and Representatives who have a need to know such information in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein and who have been
instructed to treat such as confidential); provided, however, that the foregoing
obligations shall not apply to (a) any information which was known by the
Disclosee prior to its disclosure by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party; (b)
any information which was in the public domain prior to the disclosure thereof;
(c) any information which comes into the public domain through no fault of the
Disclosee; or (d) any information which is required to be disclosed by an Order
or by any Law. The Disclosee shall bear the burden of demonstrating the
applicability of one or more of the foregoing exceptions. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean, with respect to any Person,
any and all technical, business, and other information of such Person which
derives value, actual or potential, economic or otherwise, from not being
generally known to the public or to other Persons, including, without
limitation, technical or nontechnical data, compositions, devices, methods,
techniques, drawings, inventions, processes, financial data, financial plans,
product plans, lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers, information
regarding the acquisition and investment plans and strategies, business plans or
operations of the Person or its Affiliates. Confidential Information of a Person
includes information of third parties that such Person is obligated to keep or
treat as confidential. The provisions of this Section 12.05 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement for any reason and shall continue indefinitely;
provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this Section 12.05 shall
terminate with respect to any Confidential Information that does not constitute
a trade secret under applicable Law after the third anniversary of the date
hereof.

                  12.06    Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may
be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but
no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly
executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver
by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more
instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any
other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies,
either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative
and not alternative.

                  12.07    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended,
supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on
behalf of each party hereto.

                  12.08    No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions
of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and
their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of
the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person under
United States or English law (including the Contracts (Rights of Third parties)
Act) other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Article IX.

                  12.09    No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement
nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any
attempt to do so will be void, except (a) for assignments and transfers by
operation of Law and (b) that either Purchaser may assign any or all of its
rights, interests and obligations hereunder (including without limitation its
rights under Article XI) to (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary, provided that any
such subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions
and provisions contained herein or (ii) any post-Closing purchaser of the
Business or a substantial part of the Assets but no such assignment shall
relieve Purchasers of their obligations hereunder. Sellers may assign their
rights hereunder to any Affiliate or to any Person that acquires all or
substantially all of the remaining business of Sellers. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

                  12.10    Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the
provisions hereof.

                  12.11    Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or
future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this
Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such
provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically
as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar
in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

                  12.12    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Georgia applicable to
a contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof.

                  12.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered
as facsimiles shall be binding to the same extent as original signatures.
