         (c)      No Incentive  Stock Option shall be exercisable  more than ten
                  years from the date such  Incentive  Stock  Option is granted;

                  period during which the Incentive Stock Option is exercisable.
                  Further,  the  Board  may make such  other  provisions  as may

                  Options  or  other   options  are  still   outstanding,   have
                  previously been exercised in whole or in part, or are canceled
                  in  connection  with  the  issuance  of  new  Incentive  Stock
                  Options. The exercise price of the new Incentive Stock Options
                  may be established by the Board without regard to the existing
                  Incentive Stock Options or other options.

                  Options  are  exercisable  for the first time by any  Employee
                  during  any  calendar  year  (under  all  such  plans  of  the

                  corporation  of  either)  shall not  exceed  $100,000.  To the
                  extent  that such  $100,000  limit  shall be  exceeded  in any
                  calendar  year,  any such Stock  Options  exercisable  for the

2.       ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS.
         ---------------------

         (a)      If a  dividend  shall be  declared  upon the Stock  payable in
                  shares of the Corporation's common stock, the number of shares
                  of Stock then  subject to any Stock Option  outstanding  under
                  this Plan and the number of shares  reserved  for the grant of
                  Stock  Options  pursuant  to this Plan  shall be  adjusted  by
                  adding to each such share the number of shares  which would be
                  distributable  in  respect  thereof  if such  shares  had been
                  outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders
                  of the Corporation entitled to receive such share dividend.

         (b)      If the  shares  of  Stock  outstanding  are  changed  into  or
                  exchanged  for a  different  number or kind of shares or other
                  securities  of  the  Corporation  or of  another  corporation,
                  whether through  reorganization,  recapitalization,  split-up,
                  reverse  stock  split,   combination  of  shares,  merger,  or
                  consolidation,  then there shall be substituted for each share
                  of Stock  subject to any such Stock  Option and for each share
                  of Stock  reserved for the grant of Stock Options  pursuant to
                  this Plan the  number  and kind of shares or other  securities
                  into which each outstanding  share of Stock shall have been so
                  changed  or  for  which  each  such  share   shall  have  been
                  exchanged.

         (c)      If there shall be any change, other than as specified above in
                  this Section 2, in the number or kind of outstanding shares of
                  Stock or of any  shares or other  securities  into  which such
                  shares  shall  have been  changed or for which they shall have
                  been  exchanged,   then  if  the  Board  shall,  in  its  sole
                  discretion,  determine that such change equitably  requires an
                  adjustment  in  the  number  or  kind  of  shares  theretofore
                  reserved for the grant of Stock Options  pursuant to this Plan
                  and  of  the  shares  then  subject  to  Stock  Options,  such
                  adjustment  shall be made by the Board and shall be  effective
                  and  binding  for all  purposes of this Plan and of each Stock
                  Option outstanding thereunder.

         (d)      In the case of any such substitution or adjustment as provided
                  for in this  Section 2, the  exercise  price set forth in each
                  outstanding  Stock Option for each share covered thereby prior
                  to such  substitution or adjustment will be the exercise price
                  for all  shares  or other  securities  which  shall  have been
                  substituted  for such share or to which such share  shall have
                  been  adjusted  pursuant to this Section 2, and such  exercise
                  price per share shall be adjusted accordingly.

         (e)      No adjustment or  substitution  provided for in this Section 2
                  shall require the Corporation to sell a fractional  share, and
                  the total  substitution  or  adjustment  with  respect to each
                  outstanding Stock Option shall be limited accordingly.

         (f)      Upon  any  adjustment  made  pursuant  to this  Section  2 the
                  Corporation  will,  upon  request,  deliver  to the  Grantee a
                  certificate  setting  forth the exercise  price  thereafter in
                  effect and the  number and kind of shares or other  securities
                  thereafter purchasable on the exercise of such Stock Option.

                  to pay to the Corporation the amount of any withholding  taxes
                  which the  Corporation is required to withhold with respect to

                  when due, the Corporation  shall have the right to deduct,  to
                  the  extent  permitted  by law,  from any  payment of any kind
                  otherwise  due to  such  person  all  or  part  of the  amount
                  required to be withheld.

                  subsidiary of the  Corporation,  the  Corporation  may, if the
                  Board  so  directs,  issue or  transfer  the  shares,  if any,
                  covered by the Stock Option to the subsidiary, for such lawful
                  consideration as the Board may specify,  upon the condition or
                  understanding  that the subsidiary will transfer the shares to
                  the Employee in accordance  with the terms of the Stock Option
                  specified  by the Board  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this
                  Plan.  For purposes of this Section  3(g), a subsidiary  shall
                  mean any subsidiary  corporation of the Corporation as defined
                  in Section 424 of the Code.

         (h)      A Grantee  entitled to Stock as a result of the  exercise of a
                  Stock  Option  shall not be deemed  for any  purpose to be, or
                  have rights as, a stockholder of the  Corporation by virtue of
                  such  exercise,  except to the extent a stock  certificate  is
                  issued  therefor and then only from the date such  certificate
                  is  issued.  No  adjustments  shall be made for  dividends  or
                  distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is
                  prior  to the date  such  stock  certificate  is  issued.  The
                  Corporation shall issue any stock certificates  required to be
                  issued in connection  with the exercise of a Stock Option with
                  reasonable promptness after such exercise.

         (i)      The grant or exercise of Stock Options granted under this Plan
                  shall be subject to, and shall in all  respects  comply  with,
                  applicable Connecticut law relating to such grant or exercise,
                  or to the number of shares which may be beneficially  owned or
                  held by any Grantee.

follow on capabilities, modules, releases or other modifications to, or
replacements for, the Licensed Software, excluding all ShowCase Modifications.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the term "Updates" shall only include those
additional or follow on capabilities, modules, releases and modifications to the
Licensed Software developed by or for IntraNet Solutions that add value to the
content management functionality (in the case of XCS), to the report parsing
functionality (in the case of XRS) and the content publishing functionality (in
the case of (XCP), so that, for example, if IntraNet Solutions were to develop a
customer self-help module, that module would not be treated as an Update.

server platforms (including, without limitation, the NT/Unix server platform),
and including all Updates and replacement products therefor.

     2.1 Distribution License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, for the term of this Agreement and any "wind-down" period (as
described in Section 10.3 hereof) IntraNet Solutions grants to ShowCase a
worldwide license to use, copy, display, distribute, market, promote, maintain
and support (a) the Licensed Software on a nonexclusive basis, and (b) the
Licensed Software included in the Ported Products on an exclusive basis. The
foregoing license permits ShowCase to grant any Affiliate and/or Subdistributors
a sublicense to do the

                                       3
<PAGE>

same (i.e. market, distribute, promote, maintain and support the Licensed
Software and the Licensed Software included in the Ported Products as described
herein) pursuant to a Subdistributor Agreement; provided, that notwithstanding
any contrary terms in this Agreement, all use of the Licensed Software
internally by Affiliates and/or Subdistributors for marketing, support,
maintenance and related purposes pursuant to such a sublicense shall be
royalty-free and no Affiliate or Subdistributor shall be obligated to pay
Maintenance Fees with respect to the internal use licenses. Each Subdistributor
Agreement shall contain terms, conditions and restrictions consistent with the
terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement and shall be at least as
protective of IntraNet Solutions intellectual property rights as the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. ShowCase, its Affiliates and/or Subdistributors
shall distribute the Licensed Software and the Licensed Software included in the
Ported Products to End-Users pursuant to an End-User Sublicense Agreement that
contains terms, conditions and restrictions consistent with the terms,
conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, and terms that are at least as
protective of IntraNet Solutions intellectual property rights as the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and IntraNet Solutions' own form of end user
agreement. Such End-User Agreement may be in the form of a shrinkwrap, clickwrap
or other appropriate form of written agreement.

     2.2 Internal Use License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, IntraNet Solutions hereby grants to ShowCase and its Affiliates a
worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual (except as provided in Section 10), license
to use, copy, display and distribute the Licensed Software (including all
Updates thereto) and the Licensed Software included in the Ported Products for
their internal business use. IntraNet Solutions agrees that the internal use
licenses granted in this Section 2.2 shall be royalty-free. Except as set forth
in Section 10 of this Agreement, neither ShowCase nor its Affiliates shall be
obligated to pay Maintenance Fees with respect to the internal use licenses.

     2.3 No ASP Service Permitted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement, neither ShowCase nor any of its sublicensees,
including, without limitation its Subdistributors and End-Users, shall have the
right to use or sublicense others to use the Licensed Software for any dial-up,
remote access, interactive or other on-line service (for example, an ASP
service) unless specifically authorized by IntraNet Solutions in writing.

     2.4 Restrictions. Subject to the permitted use of the Licensed Software and
Modifications Materials by third parties as expressly described in Section 3.2,
ShowCase shall not knowingly permit any third party to, modify, reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the Licensed Software; provided, however,
that ShowCase shall not be in breach of this provision if and to the extent that
(a) this prohibition is expressly overridden by applicable law and (b) a third
party performs any of these acts in accordance with such law. Permitted copies
of the Licensed Software in whatever form shall reproduce copyright notices,
restrictive rights legends, proprietary notices and other notices as contained
therein, provided that ShowCase may private label the Licensed Software as
described in Section 2.8 below. The Ported Products shall contain appropriate
copyright notices, restrictive rights legends, proprietary notices and other
notices as mutually agreed to by the parties, such as a copyright notice in the
start-up or "About" screen of the AS400 Version indicating that portions of the
product include technology used under license from IntraNet Solutions. Such
notices may include the IntraNet Solutions name and the logos

                                       4
<PAGE>

and trademarks associated with the Licensed Software as described in Section 2.8
below. Before marketing the Ported Products, ShowCase shall obtain IntraNet
Solutions' written approval of such notices, which approval shall not be
unreasonably delayed or withheld. If IntraNet Solutions does not approve or
object to such notices within ten (10) days of its receipt of sufficient
information to permit such review, IntraNet Solutions shall be deemed to have
approved such notices.

     2.5 Ownership. ShowCase hereby acknowledges that IntraNet Solutions retains
all right, title and interest in and to the copyrights and other intellectual
property rights in the Licensed Software, the Modification Materials, and the
IntraNet Solutions Documentation, except for the rights expressly granted
herein. ShowCase shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the
copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the ShowCase Products and
ShowCase Modifications. Each party shall bear the cost of registering and
maintaining its own copyrights and other applicable intellectual property rights
as described hereunder, and each party agrees to cooperate with the other party
as reasonably needed to protect such rights.

     2.6 Delivery. IntraNet Solutions shall deliver to ShowCase upon execution
of this Agreement, a CD-ROM(s) containing the distributable portion of the code
for all currently released versions and releases of the Licensed Software.
IntraNet Solutions shall deliver to ShowCase on or before January 31, 2000 (a)
the Modification Materials (including, without limitation, the source code), and
(b) all available related IntraNet Solutions Documentation. Thereafter, from
time to time during the term of this Agreement and as soon as commercially
available, IntraNet Solutions shall deliver to ShowCase as applicable: (a) a
CD-ROM(s) containing each Update to the Licensed Software, (b) a CD-ROM(s)
containing all new or revised Modification Materials, and (c) a CD-ROM
containing all new or revised IntraNet Solutions Documentation. In addition,
IntraNet Solutions shall deliver to ShowCase a CD-ROM(s) containing the source
and object code for the Licensed Software (including each Update) as soon as the
distributable version of such code is released to beta. All such CD-ROMs shall
permit ShowCase to copy the Licensed Software, Modification Materials and
IntraNet Solutions Documentation thereon as necessary in order to exercise the
rights granted to it hereunder.

     2.7 Documentation and Marketing Materials. ShowCase shall be able to copy,
modify, create derivative works of, display and distribute the IntraNet
Solutions Documentation as reasonably needed to use, support, maintain, market
and distribute the Licensed Software and Ported Products, as permitted
hereunder. ShowCase shall own all rights, title and interest in and to the
copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the modifications to the
IntraNet Solutions Documentation it creates.

     2.8 Trademarks. ShowCase may, at its option, private label the Ported
Products with ShowCase's trademarks and tradenames. IntraNet Solutions also
acknowledges and agrees that ShowCase may, at its option, use the IntraNet
Solutions name and trademarks associated with the Licensed Software in the
Ported Products, all related documentation and the promotion thereof. IntraNet
Solutions hereby grants to ShowCase a nonexclusive and royaltyfree license to
use the IntraNet Solutions trademarks associated with or related to the Licensed
Software solely in

                                       5
<PAGE>

connection with the distribution, promotion, advertising and maintenance of the
Licensed Software and Ported Products as permitted hereunder. All such IntraNet
Solutions trademarks shall be used by ShowCase in accordance with IntraNet
Solutions' standards, specifications and instructions. ShowCase shall obtain
IntraNet Solutions' prior written approval before using any of its trademarks in
any marketing materials, packaging, software screens, user documentation or in
any other materials not supplied by IntraNet Solutions, which approval may be
withheld in IntraNet Solutions' sole and absolute discretion. For convenience,
ShowCase may submit "standard" artwork or other materials to IntraNet Solutions
for approval for ongoing use by ShowCase within the guidelines established in
the document granting such approval. IntraNet Solutions shall approve or reject
materials submitted for approval under this Section 2.8 within ten (10) days of
IntraNet Solutions' receipt of such materials. If IntraNet Solutions does not
notify ShowCase in writing of its rejection of the materials within such ten
(10) day period, IntraNet Solutions shall be deemed to have approved the
materials. If IntraNet Solutions rejects the materials, IntraNet Solutions shall
inform ShowCase of the reason and work with ShowCase to create mutually
acceptable materials. ShowCase is not granted any right, title or interest in
such trademarks other than the foregoing limited license. If ShowCase markets
the Licensed Software as a separate product, rather than as part of the Ported
Products, ShowCase shall market it under the IntraNet Solutions name and
trademarks, rather than a private label.

     2.9 Non-Compete. IntraNet Solutions shall not during the term of this
Agreement directly or indirectly (i.e., through third parties including, but not
limited to, resellers, distributors and companion product partners) develop,
market, promote, sell, license or otherwise distribute any version or form of
the Licensed Software for use on the AS400 server platform.

     2.10 Licensing of Third Party Software. During the term of this Agreement,
IntraNet Solutions hereby grants ShowCase the right to license for distribution
in connection with the Licensed Software and the Ported Products, as applicable,
the Third Party Software on the same terms and conditions as IntraNet Solutions
licenses such Third Party Software from the distributor and/or developer
thereof; provided, however, that if IntraNet Solutions does not have the right
to grant such a sublicense under its own license for Third Party Software, then
ShowCase shall obtain the necessary license directly from the vendor of that
Third Party Software. The terms under which ShowCase may obtain any Third Party
Software from IntraNet Solutions pursuant to this Section 2.10 (to the extent
they exist as of the Effective Date and subject to any price changes to IntraNet
Solutions) shall be listed on Schedule A. The parties acknowledge and agree that
ShowCase is not required to distribute and license, nor require any customers
who obtain the Licensed Software from ShowCase or its Subdistributor to license
and obtain, any Third Party Software from IntraNet Solutions. Rather, ShowCase
may obtain the Third Party Software directly from the developer and/or vendor
thereof. After the Effective Date, to the extent it can do so without
prejudicing its own negotiations with the vendor, IntraNet Solutions shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to acquire the right to sublicense Third Party
Software to ShowCase on the same terms IntraNet Solutions licenses the Third
Party Software from the vendor.

     2.11 Minimum Royalties. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.1 and 2.9
above, if the total aggregate amount of the royalties and fees paid or payable
to IntraNet Solutions

                                       6
<PAGE>

pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.6 does not meet the Minimum Amount stated in
the table below for a particular fiscal year, then ShowCase may elect to (a)
remit the shortfall to IntraNet Solutions within sixty (60) days after the end
of the applicable fiscal year, and all such payment amounts shall constitute
prepaid royalties and be added to the balance of the Royalty Credit described in
Section 5.1; (b) give IntraNet Solutions written notice that it desires to
convert its development license to the Licensed Software from exclusive to
non-exclusive, in which case IntraNet Solutions shall be released from its
non-compete obligations under Section 2.9 and will be free to directly or
indirectly develop, market, promote, sell, license or otherwise distribute any
version or from of the Licensed Software for use on the AS400 server platform;
or (c) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(c) hereof. This Section
2.11 does not grant IntraNet Solutions any rights, licenses or ownership
interest in and to the Ported Products (except the Licensed Software included
therein).

         -------------------------------- ---------------------------------
         Fiscal Year                      Minimum Amount
         -------------------------------- ---------------------------------
         April 1, 2001-March 31, 2002     ###

         -------------------------------- ---------------------------------
         Each fiscal year thereafter      ###
         -------------------------------- ---------------------------------

     2.12 Termination of Non-AS400 License. Notwithstanding the terms of Section
2.1, if (a) IntraNet Solutions is acquired by a third party (whether by purchase
of its stock or substantially all of its assets), or merges with a third-party
that becomes the successor entity, or otherwise comes under the control of a
third party and (b) this Agreement is assigned to such third party as permitted
in Section 13.2, then such third party shall have an option to terminate the
distribution license granted to ShowCase in Section 2.1 solely with respect to
the Licensed Software as a separate product and as part of the Integrated
Package, and not with respect to the Licensed Software as included in the AS400
Version, provided that it gives two (2) years' written notice of such
termination to ShowCase within ninety (90) days after the completion of the
acquisition of IntraNet Solutions. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect
ShowCase's right and licenses granted hereunder to the Licensed Software that is
included in the AS400 Version, and IntraNet Solutions shall have the obligation
to continue to deliver the Modification Materials to ShowCase as described in
this Agreement in order for ShowCase to exercise the development license for the
AS400 Version granted in Section 3.2 hereof, and ShowCase shall continue to have
the right to use, modify and distribute the Licensed Software included in the
AS400 Version as provided in this Agreement. Furthermore, if and when ShowCase's
distribution license to the Licensed Software as a separate product as part of
the Integrated Package is terminated pursuant to this Section 2.12, then
ShowCase shall have no obligation to meet the Minimum Amount requirement in any
fiscal year notwithstanding any contrary terms in Section 2.11. Because ShowCase
is entitled to two (2) years written notice of termination under this Section
2.12, there shall be no "wind-down" period (as that term is used in section
10.3(b)).

Section 2.1. ShowCase may copy, reproduce or otherwise duplicate the source code

Subdistributors or other third-parties, except third party contractors that are
performing work on behalf of ShowCase and who are bound by a reasonable
non-disclosure agreement.

     3.3 Changes to Licensed Software. ShowCase shall have the right to have
input into IntraNet Solutions' product development plans for the Licensed
Software. At least once a year, appropriate representatives of the parties shall

matters.

     3.4 Development Coordination. IntraNet Solutions and ShowCase will each
appoint individuals to serve as a Partner Manager, who will be responsible for
the general overall development activities of the parties hereunder, and a

ShowCase at the standard fee charged by IntraNet Solutions to its preferred
customers for such training.

     4.2 Support and Maintenance. ShowCase and/or its Subdistributors shall
provide ### support (i.e., ###) for the Licensed Software and the Ported
Products that they distribute. IntraNet Solutions shall have no responsibility

such support to ShowCase. IntraNet Solutions shall provide to ShowCase's support
personnel (regardless of the locations of such personnel) all ### support (i.e.,

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, IntraNet Solutions shall have
no obligation to provide any support to ShowCase or any third party for any
ShowCase Modifications. In addition, IntraNet Solutions shall provide to
ShowCase at no charge all Updates to the Licensed Software as soon as they
become commercially available.

ARTICLE 5: COMPENSATION

     5.1 Prepaid Royalty. ShowCase shall pay to IntraNet Solutions a one-time
payment of ### on or before December 31, 1999. Such payment shall entitle
ShowCase to receive a prepaid royalty credit ("Royalty Credit") equal to ###,
which will be applied against the royalties due to IntraNet Solutions under
Section 5.2 hereof. Upon the execution of this Agreement, ShowCase shall also
receive a Royalty Credit equal to ### representing a refund of amounts paid to

hereto.

     5.3 Third Party Software. At the same time that ShowCase pays IntraNet
Solutions the royalties payable under Section 5.2, ShowCase shall pay to
IntraNet Solutions the applicable royalty rate set forth on Schedule A for each
copy of the Third Party Software that ShowCase licenses from IntraNet Solutions
and distributes in conjunction with the Licensed Software and/or Ported
Products. The parties acknowledge that ShowCase shall only be required to pay
royalties to IntraNet Solutions on copies of the Third Party Software actually

the applicable developer and/or reseller for all Third Party Software licensed
by ShowCase directly from such developer and/or reseller.

     5.4 Payment Terms and Reports. ShowCase shall pay all royalties due and
payable to IntraNet Solutions during the previous quarter (ending on March 31,

ShowCase's applicable records from time to time, but no more frequently than
once per year. In the event any inspection of ShowCase's records indicates an
underpayment of an amount equal to or greater than ### of any amounts due
hereunder, ShowCase shall promptly reimburse IntraNet Solutions for all
reasonable expenses associated with such inspection along with the deficient
amounts.

     5.6 Maintenance Fee. As payment in full for the maintenance and support
services described in Sections 4.2, and for the right to distribute all Updates

Solutions, ShowCase will pay to IntraNet Solutions an annual maintenance fee
("Maintenance Fee") equal to ### of the royalties paid or payable to IntraNet
Solutions for the Licensed Software and Ported Products pursuant to Section 5.2
(cumulative, life to date), but only for those end-users who have contracted for
maintenance/support subscriptions for the Licensed Software and/or Ported
Products from ShowCase as of the date of the annual payment. Such annual
Maintenance Fee (or pro rata portion thereof) will be payable on or before
January 31 for each year (or portion thereof) that this Agreement is in effect;
provided, however that ShowCase is not required to make such payment during the
first year of this Agreement. Accordingly, the first payment of annual

this Agreement may be terminated:

     (a)  Upon written notice to the other party, if the that party is in

          within thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice thereof
          from the non-breaching party (or if the breach is of a type that
          cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days, if the breaching party
          has not commenced to cure the breach within said thirty-day period or
          does not then proceed diligently and continuously to remedy such

          with, or comes under the control of a competitor of IntraNet
          Solutions, provided that such notice must be received by ShowCase

          Licensed Software as a separate product and as part of the Ported
          Products pursuant to the terms of the Distribution License granted in
          Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and ShowCase shall continue to maintain
          and support the Licensed Software as separate product and as part of
          the Ported Products pursuant to the terms of the Development License
          granted in Section 3.2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that if
          this Agreement is terminated by IntraNet Solutions pursuant to Section
          10.2(a), then during said wind-down period, ShowCase and its
          Subdistributors may only distribute, support, and maintain the
          Licensed Software and the Ported Products if and as required under a
          legally binding agreement executed before the termination of this

          support and maintenance (as described in Section 4.2) and shall
          continue to deliver the Licensed Software (as described in Section
          2.6) for so long as ShowCase continues to provide support and

          licensed the Licensed Software and/or Ported Products but in no event
          for more than two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement.
          For so long as ShowCase continues to provide such support and
          maintenance, but in no event for more than two (2) years after the
          termination of this Agreement,

                                       15

          necessary solely in order to do so, including, without limitation, the
          rights granted in Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.10 and 3.2.

     (e)  The internal use license granted to ShowCase in Section 2.2(a) for the

          Software hereunder, shall continue in perpetuity provided that
          ShowCase pays to IntraNet Solutions the then-current annual or other
          periodic fees for maintenance and support of such Licensed Software,
          starting as of the termination date of the "wind-down" period
          described in paragraph (b) above.

     (f)  At dates mutually agreed to by the parties, IntraNet Solutions shall
          offer to ShowCase customers of the Licensed Software and/or the Ported
          Products the option to convert to IntraNet Solutions then-currently

          fee for the applicable replacement software.

     (g)  All materials, licenses, software, information, Confidential
          Information and other property provided by either party as part of
          this Agreement, shall immediately be returned to the other party;
          provided, however, that each party shall continue to have the right to
          use all such Confidential Information and property of the other during
          the "wind-down" period described above.

                                    ROYALTIES

     1. Distribution Royalties. ShowCase will pay to IntraNet Solutions the
following royalties on copies of the Licensed Software and Ported Products
distributed by ShowCase and Subdistributors to end users as follows:

     The applicable percentage listed in the table below X the greater of ###

For the avoidance of doubt, the internal use licenses granted to ShowCase and
its Affiliates in Section 2.2 is royalty-free, and the internal use licenses
granted to ShowCase, its Affiliates and Subdistributors for marketing,
promotion, support and maintenance in Section 2.1 is royalty-free. Further,
ShowCase shall be obligated to pay any royalties due under Section 5.2 only if
the Royalty Credit is not then-currently exhausted.

     A. CUEP Definition. The CUEP is defined as the current average end user
price charged to end user customers who license the applicable Licensed Product
directly or indirectly (through sales representatives, agents, resellers or the
like) from IntraNet Solutions. Through the calendar quarter ending June 30,
2000, the CUEP prices for royalty calculation purposes under this Agreement
shall be as follows:

          XCS/XRS/XCP restricted (i.e., restrictions on functionality) bundle
          solely for business intelligence and reporting content - ###
                                       ###
                                       ###
                                       ###

For calendar quarters beginning July 1, 2000, the CEUP shall be determined by
mutual agreement of ShowCase and IntraNet Solutions, or if no such agreement is
reached, using the CUEP actually charged end users for the prior six (6) month
period. IntraNet Solutions and ShowCase shall agree on the CUEP for each
calendar quarter ending after June 30, 2000, or if the parties cannot reach
agreement, then the CUEP will be determined based on a review of the end user
prices actually charged in those agreements pursuant to which end users have
licensed the Licensed Products during the preceding calendar quarter.

     B. Applicable Royalty Percentages. The following royalty percentages will
apply:
