           legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform all of its

           and delivered by the Seller, shall constitute the valid and legally
           binding obligation of the Seller, legally enforceable against the
           Seller in accordance with its terms.

           authorization by any governmental authority (including, without
           limitation, the Office of the Chief Scientist) or any third party is
           required that has not been, or will not have been, obtained by the
           Seller prior to the Closing in connection with the valid execution,
           delivery and full performance of this Agreement and the Exhibits
           hereto.

           compliance by the Seller, Lognet or Insci with the terms and
           provisions hereof and thereof, will conflict with, or result in a
           breach or violation of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions
           of: (i) any judgment, order, injunction, decree, or ruling of any
           court or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, to which the
           Seller, Lognet or Insci is subject, (ii) any agreement, contract,
           lease, license, order or commitment to which the Seller, Lognet or

           the ability of the Seller, Lognet or Insci to execute, deliver or
           perform this Agreement, or (iii) applicable law.

           the Intellectual Property, and Seller, Lognet and/or Insci do not
           know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of the
           Intellectual Property by the Seller does not infringe on the rights
           of any third party. The Intellectual Property includes the source
           code, system documentation, statements of principles of operation,
           and schematics for all of the Product Lines, as well as any pertinent

           limiting its generality, actions pending or threatened involving the
           prior employment of any of the employees of the Seller or use by any
           of them in connection with the Seller's or business of any
           information, property or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of
           their former employers. The Seller is not a party to or subject to
           the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of
           any court or governmental agency or instrumentality. There is no
           action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Seller currently
           pending or that the Seller intends to initiate.

           thereof. The Purchaser shall not be under any obligation to any third
           party in connection with the Assets, which is not explicitly provided
           for in the Agreements. True and complete copies of all the Agreements
           have been delivered to the Purchaser.

      5.12 Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any Exhibit hereto, or
           certificates made or delivered in connection herewith contains any
           untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
           necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading, in
           view of the circumstances in which they were made. Seller, Lognet and

                  sale and licensing of products based on the Existing Product
                  Lines for the 2000 calendar year, as evidenced by reviewed
                  consolidated financial statements for the Seller for calendar
                  year 2000 to be prepared by Ernst and Young, detailing inter

           11.2.3 Performance by the Purchaser of its obligations under this
                  Section 11.1 shall be secured by a Pledge on the existing

           the reasonable inspection and copying of such records and books of
           account by Insci or its authorized representatives at any time during
           normal business hours. Fees and expenses of such inspections (such as
           professional fees and expenses paid to accountants or other examiners
           retained by Insci and the cost of copying records and books of
           account) shall be borne by Insci, unless such inspection shall reveal
           that an error of 5% or more in any royalty payment was made, in which
           case the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the inspection
           during which such error was discovered shall be borne by Purchaser.
           All information disclosed or materials provided to Insci or its
           representatives hereunder shall be maintained in strict
           confidentiality.

           the excluded provision as determined by such court of competent
           jurisdiction.

6.   Adjustments

          If the outstanding Shares then subject to the Plan are changed into or
          exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, as a
          result of one or more reorganisations, recapitalisations, stock
          splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and the like,
          appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or type of
          Shares or Securities as shall be directed by the Plan Committee. Any
          such adjustment in outstanding Shares will be made in order to
          preserve, but not to increase or decrease, the benefits to the
          Grantees existing immediately prior to the event giving rise to such
          adjustment.

7.   Vesting of the Shares

          Each Share awarded under the Plan shall vest in the Grantee as set in
          Schedule 2, subject to the following:

          (a)  In the case of every Share awarded hereunder:

               (i)  if a Grantee ceases to be eligibly employed because of the
                    Grantee's discharge for "cause", as hereinafter defined, any
                    Share which has not vested is forfeited with such cessation
                    of employment;

               (ii) if a Grantee ceases to be eligibly employed before all the
                    Shares are vested in accordance with Schedule 2 because of
                    the Grantee's resignation, which shall include retirement
                    other than as well as at "normal retirement", as hereinafter
                    defined, the Grantee shall receive the pro-rated portion of
                    the Shares (if any) as would be vested in accordance with
                    Schedule 2 and as are available (if at all) at the next
                    vesting date following the resignation of the Grantee,
                    subject always to the discretion of the Plan Committee to
                    direct otherwise, whose decision shall be final;

               (iii) if a Grantee shall die before all the Shares are vested in
                    accordance with Schedule 2 the person or persons to whom the
                    Grantee's rights to the Shares shall have lawfully passed
                    whether by will, by the applicable laws of succession or
                    otherwise shall receive the pro-rated portion of the Shares
                    (if any) as would be vested in accordance with Schedule 2
                    and as are available (if at all) at the next vesting date;

               (iv) if a Grantee shall become disabled while eligibly employed
                    but before all the Shares are vested the Grantee's rights to
                    the Shares which have not vested are subject to the
                    discretion of the Plan Committee whose decision shall be
                    final;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

               (v)  "cause" shall mean conduct, as determined by the Board,
                    involving one or more of the following: the commission of an
                    act of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, or moral
                    turpitude, the deliberate disregard of the rules of the
                    Company which resulted in or on the Board's determination
                    may result in loss, damage or injury to the Company, the
                    unauthorised disclosure of any trade secret or confidential
                    information of the Company, the commission of an act which
                    constitutes unfair competition with the Company, the failure
                    to perform a duty as assigned or within the time period
                    assigned or the negligent performance of duties. In the
                    event that the Grantee does not accept the determination of
                    the Company, the matter will be decided in accordance with
                    Bermuda law and the vesting of the Shares will be suspended
                    pending resolution by the Bermuda Courts;

               (vi) "normal retirement" shall mean retirement from active
                    employment by the person eligibly employed on or after the
                    normal retirement date specified in the applicable pension

          of the Plan.

9.   Administration

          The Plan shall be managed and administered by the Trustee subject to
          the directions of the Plan Committee as provided under the Trust.

          The interpretation and construction by the Trustee of any provisions
          of the Plan or of any benefit granted hereunder shall be final and
          binding upon Grantees and their respective successors, unless
          otherwise determined by the Company, in which case such determination
          of the Company shall be final and binding. Neither the Trustee nor the
          Company shall be liable for any action taken, or determination made,
          in good faith.

          The Trustee or the Company may, from time to time, adopt rules and

          Plan Committee, the Trustee shall have full and final authority in its

          terms and provisions thereof as it may authorise at the time when each
          Share is awarded, each of which terms and provisions may be different
          for each award. The Trustee, with the consent of the Plan Committee,
          may amend the terms of any existing award to accelerate the time or
          times at which Shares awarded under the Plan, or any part thereof,
          shall become vested, or in any other respect which shall not adversely
          affect the rights of the holder of such award of Shares.

          The Company may delegate any of its powers, rights, duties and
          responsibilities under the Plan to the Plan Committee who may

          Transaction, the Shares which have not vested shall ipso facto become
          vested and the Trustee shall, on the twentieth business day after the
          Terminating Transaction shall first have come to the notice of the
          Company, or on such earlier date as the Trustee may in its discretion
          determine, make payment in consideration therefor of an amount equal
          to the market value of such Shares on the date of such Terminating
          Transaction (such amount not to be less than zero), such payment to be
          made by bank draft.

          "Terminating Transaction" shall mean such transaction resulting in the
          termination or substantial termination of the Company or the takeover
          or change of control of the Company as the Plan Committee shall in its
          absolute discretion determine.

11.  Government Regulations

          The Trustee shall not issue any Shares unless and until all licences,
          permissions and authorisations required to be granted by the
          Government of Bermuda, or by any authority or agency thereof, shall
          have been duly received.

          connection with the awarding of Shares shall be borne by the Company;
          provided, however, that except as otherwise specifically provided in
          the Plan or in any agreement between the Company and a Grantee, the
          Company shall not be obliged to pay any costs or expenses (including
          legal fees) incurred by any Grantee in connection with any Shares held
          or transferred by any Grantee.

          suspend or terminate the Plan; however, no such action shall deprive
          the Grantee, without his or her consent, of any benefit or any of the
          rights thereunder awarded to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan.

          interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan,
          and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer
          or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent
