interest representing the right to manage such corporation or other legal entity
is now or hereafter  owned and  controlled  by such company  either  directly or

form provided by  MicroStrategy  or in a form prepared by SDC  International  so
long  as  such  User  License  Agreement  includes,  at a  minimum,  contractual
provisions at least as restrictive as the following, which:

            (a)   Disclaim  MicroStrategy's  liability  for  damages,  whether
direct or indirect,  incidental or consequential,  arising from the use of the
Software.
            (b)   Require end users to use a  commercially  reasonable  degree
of  care  to  protect  the  Confidential   Information  of  MicroStrategy  and
prohibit  Users  from,  directly  or  indirectly,  (1) using any  Confidential

this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt,  SDC  International  shall have

provisions  set forth in this Section upon ninety (90) days'  advance  written

more  frequently  than  once  per  year,  SDC   International   shall  furnish
MicroStrategy  with a signed  certification  verifying  that the  Software  is
being used pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

            (b)   Audit.   MicroStrategy  may,  at  its  expense,   audit  SDC
International's  use of the  Products.  Any  such  audit  shall  be  conducted
during regular business hours at SDC International's  facilities and shall not
unreasonably interfere with SDC International's business activities.

of three years from the  execution  of this  Agreement  it will not both grant a
software license and provide MSTR International II consulting  services pursuant
to which MSTR  International  II builds an application for a customer that would
allow the non-MSTR  International II controlled  entity to compete directly with
Strategy.com  as a provider of syndicated  information  services to a network of
affiliates.  MSTR  International  II further warrants that for a period of three
years from the  execution  of this  Agreement,  it will not create a  syndicated
information  service  for  distribution  through a network  of  affiliates  that
competes directly with the Services.

     5.2 Rights Ownership. MSTR International II warrants that it owns, free and

contained herein.

other than those specifically set in this Section and to the extent permitted by
law specifically disclaim all others, including  merchantability and fitness for
a particular purpose.

     5.4 No Additional Warranties. SDC International shall make no warranties on
behalf  of  MSTR  International  II  and  agrees  to  indemnify  and  hold  MSTR
International II harmless from any claims based on warranties given in violation
of this Agreement.

6.  INDEMNIFICATION

     6.1  Indemnification  of SDC  International.  MSTR  International  II shall
defend and  indemnify  SDC  International,  against  and hold SDC  International
harmless  from any and all claims that the  MicroStrategy  Platform  infringes a
United  States  patent  or  copyright  of  a  third  party   provided  that  SDC
International:  (i) promptly  notifies MSTR  International  II in writing of any
such  claim;  (ii)  allows  MSTR  International  II to have sole  control of the
defense  and all  related  settlement  negotiations;  and  (iii)  provides  MSTR
International  II with the  information,  authority and assistance  necessary to
perform MSTR International II's obligations under this Section. In the event the
MicroStrategy  Platform is held or believed to infringe,  MSTR  International II
may, at

                                       4
<PAGE>

its  sole  option:  (i) obtain  for   SDC  International  a  license to continue
using  the  MicroStrategy   Platform   product,   (ii)  replace  or  modify  the
MicroStrategy  Platform product so that it becomes noninfringing while retaining
substantially  similar  functionality;  or (iii) if neither  (i) nor (ii) can be
reasonably  effected by MSTR  International  II, credit to SDC International the
prices paid for the MicroStrategy Platform product during the twelve (12) months
prior to the  credit,  provided  that such  MicroStrategy  Platform  product are
returned to MSTR International II in an undamaged  condition and all licenses to
such MicroStrategy Platform product are terminated.

     6.2 Excluded Claims.  Notwithstanding Section 6.1 above, MSTR International
II shall not be liable to SDC  International for any claim arising from or based
upon the  combination,  operation or use of any  MicroStrategy  Platform product
with  equipment,  data or  programming  not  supplied by MSTR  International  II
(including  the SDC  International  software and  services) or for other than an
intended  purpose as set forth in the User  Documentation,  or arising  from any
alteration or modification of the MicroStrategy  Platform product,  if the claim
would not have arisen without such alteration or modification.

     6.3  Indemnification  of MSTR  International  II. SDC  International  shall
defend and indemnify  MSTR  International  II (including  paying all  reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs of litigation)  against and hold MSTR International II
harmless  from  any and  all  claims  by any  other  party  resulting  from  SDC
International's  negligent or tortious  acts,  omissions  or  misrepresentations
relating to the marketing, sublicensing, distribution, demonstration, evaluation
or use of the MicroStrategy Platform products,  regardless of the form of action
provided that MSTR  International II: (i) promptly notifies SDC International in
writing of any such claim; (ii) allows SDC International to have sole control of
the defense and all related  settlement  negotiations;  and (iii)  provides  SDC
International  with the  information,  authority  and  assistance  necessary  to

      EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF SECTIONS 2 AND 4 HEREOF,  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER
PARTY BE  LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY  CONSEQUENTIAL,  INCIDENTAL  OR  SPECIAL
DAMAGES,  INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF
COMPUTER  TIME,  DESTRUCTION  OR DAMAGE OF RECORDS,  WHETHER  SUCH CLAIM IS IN
CONTRACT OR IN TORT,  EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN  ADVISED OF THE  POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The   provisions   of  this   Agreement   allocate  the  risks   between  MSTR
International  II and  SDC  International.  MSTR  International  II's  pricing
reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability  specified in
this Agreement.

8.    Termination

non-breaching  Party upon  thirty  (30) days  written  notice if the other Party

obligation  under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach or default during

dispute to a sole  mediator  selected  by the  parties  or, at any time at the
option  of a party,  to  mediation  by the  American  Arbitration  Association
("AAA").  If not  thus  resolved,  it shall  be  referred  to a panel of three
arbitrators  selected by the parties within thirty (30) days of the mediation,
or in the  absence  of such  selection,  to AAA  arbitration  which  shall  be
governed by the United  States  Arbitration  Act. The ruling of any such panel

            (b)   Any award made (i) shall be an award  affording  such remedy
as is deemed  equitable,  just and  within the scope of this  Agreement;  (ii)
shall be with  findings  as to issues  (including  but not  limited  to patent
validity  and/or  infringement)  or a statement of the  reasoning on which the
award  rests;  (iii)  may  in  appropriate  circumstances  include  injunctive
relief;  (iv) shall be made within four (4) months of the  appointment  of the
arbitrator; and (v) may be entered in any court.

            (c)   The requirement  for mediation and arbitration  shall not be
deemed a waiver of any  right of  termination  under  this  Agreement  and the
arbitrator  is now  empowered to act or make any award other than based solely
on the rights and obligations of the parties prior to any such termination.

            (d)   The arbitrator shall determine  issues of arbitrability  but
may not limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.

            (e)   This Agreement  shall be interpreted in accordance  with the
laws  of the  Commonwealth  of  Virginia  exclusive  of its  conflict  of laws
provisions and the place of mediation and arbitration shall be Fairfax County.

the  compensation  and expenses of the mediator and arbitrator  shall be borne
equally.

be construed as creating a joint  venture,  partnership,  agency,  or employment
relationship  between the Parties, and neither Party will have the right to bind
the other or incur any obligation on the

                                       6

other's behalf without the other's prior written consent.

     9.3 Waiver.  The  failure of either  Party to  exercise  any right  granted
herein or to require any performance of any term of this Agreement or the waiver
by either Party of any breach of this Agreement,  shall not prevent a subsequent
exercise  or  enforcement  of the term or be deemed a waiver  of any  subsequent
breach of the same or any other term of this Agreement.

     9.4 Headings. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are inserted
only as a  matter  of  convenience  and in no way  define,  limit,  construe  or
describe  the scope or intent of any such  section  nor in any way  affect  this
Agreement.

     9.5 Assignment.  Neither party may assign this Agreement  without the prior
written  consent  of the  other  party.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  to the
contrary,  either party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to
any one or more of its  Subsidiaries.  Each  party  acknowledges  that it  shall
continue to be  obligated if and to the extent that a permitted  assignee  under
this paragraph  fails to perform the  obligations  that such party has assigned.
Any attempted assignment in violation of this paragraph without consent shall be
null and void.

     9.6 Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement  and the exhibits  attached  hereto
constitute  the  complete,  final and  exclusive  understanding  of the  Parties
regarding the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes any and all prior
negotiations,  correspondence,  understandings  and agreements,  whether oral or
written, between the Parties respecting the subject matter thereof.

      WHEREAS,   Licensor  is  willing  to  supply   Licensee   with   certain
information  with respect to the Licensed  Technology  and to grant Licensee a
perpetual  non-exclusive,   nontransferable,   royalty-free  license  to  use,
manufacture,  distribute,  sell  and  offer  to  sell  products  and  services
utilizing  the Licensed  Technology  outside the United  States and to use the
technical  and  engineering  information  supplied  by  the  Licensor  in  the

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises set forth above and
the covenants set forth below, and other valuable  consideration,  the receipt

changes, developments or improvements to the Licensed  Technology  outside the
United States.  To the extent,  however, that any of the MicroStrategy Platform
as defined in the International Software  License  Agreement  falls  within the
scope of the  Licensed  Technology  hereunder  and, to the extent there is any
conflict between the provisions of this  International  Intellectual  Property
License  Agreement and the International  Software License Agreement  executed

of the International Software License Agreement shall govern.

                  (b)   No  grant or right is  conveyed  to  Licensee  by this
