                            INDUS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                      CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into by and between Arthur W. Beckman (the "Executive") and Indus
International, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), effective as of May
5, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

                                    RECITALS

     1. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the
possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that such
consideration can be a distraction to the Executive and can cause the Executive
to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that
it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that
the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Executive,
notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as
defined herein) of the Company.

     2. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders to provide the Executive with an incentive to continue his or
her employment and to motivate the Executive to maximize the value of the
Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.

     3. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Executive with
certain severance benefits upon the Executive's termination of employment
following a Change of Control. These benefits will provide the Executive with
enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the
Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.

     4. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 5
below.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein
and the continued employment of Executive by the Company, the parties agree as
follows:

     1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be for a one year term;
provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may affirmatively extend the
term of the Agreement at any time. The Executive may, by notice to the Company
given not less than 60 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to the expiration
of the then-current term, cause the term of this Agreement not to be extended.
In the event that the Compensation Committee does not extend the term of the
Agreement, or upon such notice of non-renewal by the Executive, the term of this
Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the then-current term,
including any prior extensions.

     2. At-Will Employment. This Agreement is not an employment agreement and
does not guarantee any specific term of employment. The Company and the
Executive acknowledge

<PAGE>

that the Executive's employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined
under applicable law, except as may otherwise be specifically provided under the
terms of any written formal employment agreement between the Company and the
Executive (an "Employment Agreement").

     3. Severance Benefits.

          (a) Involuntary Termination Following a Change of Control. If within
twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control (A) the Executive
terminates his or her employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company) for "Good Reason" (as defined herein) or the Company (or any
parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates the Executive's employment for
other than "Cause" (as defined herein), and (B) the Executive signs the
Company's standard separation agreement and release of claims with the Company,
then the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits
from the Company: (i) a lump sum amount equal to three-fourths (0.75) times the
sum of (x) Executive's then-current base salary plus (y) a payment equal to
Executive's annual bonus target for the performance year in which the Change in
Control occurs, or if such amount is not determinable, Executive's annual bonus
paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned
but deferred, for the most recently completed fiscal year; and (ii)
reimbursement for full COBRA (for the Executive and any of Executive's
dependents that Executive had elected to cover by Company's benefit plans during
Executive's employment at the Company) expenses for the earlier of eighteen (18)
months or until Executive receives health, medical and/or dental benefits,
respectively, from a new employer. In addition, Executive's outstanding options
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Options") shall
immediately vest and become exercisable. In all other respects the Options shall
continue to be bound by and subject to the terms of their respective agreements.

          (b) Timing of Severance Payments. The severance payments to which the
Executive is entitled shall be paid by the Company to the Executive in a lump
sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination.

          (c) Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If the Executive's
employment with the Company terminates (i) voluntarily by the Executive or (ii)
for Cause by the Company, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive
severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established
under the Company's then-existing severance and benefits plans and practices or
pursuant to his or her Employment Agreement or other written agreements, if any,
with the Company.

          (d) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates the Executive's
employment as a result of the Executive's Disability, or the Executive's
employment terminates due to his or her death, then the Executive shall not be
entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may
then be established under the Company's then-existing written severance and
benefits plans and practices or pursuant to his or her Employment Agreement or
other written agreements, if any, with the Company.

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

          (e) Termination Apart from Change of Control. In the event the
Executive's employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to the
occurrence of a Change of Control or after a twenty-four (24) month period
following a Change of Control, then the Executive shall not be entitled to
receive any payments, benefits, damages, awards, or compensation other than as
provided under the Company's then-existing written severance and benefits plans
and practices or pursuant to his or her Employment Agreement or other written
agreements with the Company.

          (f) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive's
employment within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control, the
provisions of this Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of
any other rights or remedies to which the Executive or the Company may otherwise
be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this
Agreement. The Executive shall be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other
payments or rights upon termination of employment within twenty-four (24) months
following a Change in Control other than those benefits expressly set forth in
this Section 3.

     4. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other
benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive
(i) constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (ii) but for this
Section 4, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code, then the Executive's severance and benefits shall be either:

          (a) delivered in full, or

          (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no
portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section
4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of
the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some
portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the
Code. Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any
determination required under this Section 4 shall be made in writing by the
Company's independent public accountants immediately prior to Change of Control
(the "Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations required by this Section 4, the Accountants may make reasonable
assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on
reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections
280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the
Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably
request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall
bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section 4.

                                      -3-

     5. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement
shall have the following meanings:

          (a) Cause. "Cause" means (i) an act of dishonesty made by the
Executive in connection with such Executive's responsibilities as an Executive,
(ii) the Executive's indictment for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo
contendre to, a felony which the Board reasonably believes had or will have a
material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business, (iii) the
Executive's gross misconduct, (iv) the Executive's continued substantial failure
to perform such Executive's duties after the Executive has received a written
demand for performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the
factual basis for the Company's belief that the Executive has not substantially
performed such Executive's duties, (v) the willful and continued material
violation of written Company policies or procedures by Executive, after a
written demand for substantial compliance with such policies or procedures is
delivered to Executive by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such Committee
or the Board believes that Executive has not substantially complied with the
same, or (vi) Executive's breach of any of the provisions of Sections 7 through
12 of this Agreement.

          (b) Change of Control. "Change of Control" means the occurrence of any
of the following:

               (i) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or
more of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding
voting securities; or

               (ii) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a
two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are
Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent Directors" shall mean directors who either (A)
are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or
nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a
majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination
(but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in
connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of directors to the Company); or

               (iii) The date of the consummation of a merger or consolidation
of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the
stockholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent
(50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company; or

               (iv) The date of the consummation of the sale or disposition by
the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

          (c) Disability. If the Company determines in good faith that the
Disability of Executive has occurred, it may give to Executive written notice of
its intention to terminate Executive's employment. In such event, Executive's
employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after
receipt of such written notice by Executive, provided that, within the 30 days
after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance
of Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean
the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential
functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable
accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which
has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for 90 consecutive days or an
aggregate of 180 days in a 12-month period. At the request of Executive or his
personal representative, the Board's determination that the Disability of
Executive has occurred shall be certified by a physician mutually agreed upon by
Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such
independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive's
termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and not a
termination by reason of his Disability.

          (d) Good Reason. "Good Reason" means without the Executive's consent
(i) a significant reduction or elimination of the Executive's duties or
responsibilities, unless the Executive is provided with a comparable position
(i.e., a position of equal or greater duties, compensation and status),
excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not
taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt
of notice thereof given by Executive; (ii) a reduction by the Company in the
base compensation of the Executive as in effect immediately prior to such
reduction other than in connection with a generally applicable reduction in
executive officer compensation; (iii) the involuntary relocation of the
Executive to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from such
Executive's then current location; (iv) any failure by the Company to comply
with and satisfy Section 6(a) of this Agreement; or (v) the material breach by
the Company of any provision of this Agreement.

          Good Reason shall not include Executive's death or Disability.
Executive's continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of
rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder. Any
good faith determination of Good Reason made by Executive shall be conclusive,
but the Company shall have an opportunity to cure any claimed event of Good
Reason within 30 days of notice from Executive and the Board's good faith
determination of cure shall be binding. The Company shall notify Executive of
the timely cure of any claimed event of Good Reason and the manner in which such
cure was effected, and any notice of termination delivered by Executive based on
such claimed Good Reason shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not be effective to
terminate the Agreement.

     6. Successors.

          (a) The Company's Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether
direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation
or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company's business and/or
assets shall assume the obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to
perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the
absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term
"Company" shall

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

include any successor to the Company's business and/or assets which executes and
delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 6(a) or which
becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law.

          (b) The Executive's Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all
rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     7. Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

          (a) Trade Secrets Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term "Trade
Secrets" shall mean all secret, proprietary or confidential information
regarding Company or Company activities that fits within the definition of
"trade secrets" under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act. Without limiting the
foregoing or any definition of Trade Secrets, Trade Secrets protected hereunder
shall include all source codes and object codes for Company software and all
website design information to the extent that such information fits within the
Georgia Trade Secrets Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be
construed, to limit the protections of the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any
other applicable law protecting trade secrets or other confidential information.
"Trade Secrets" shall not include information that has become generally
available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such
information without violating any right or privilege of Company. This definition
shall not limit any definition of "trade secrets" or any equivalent term under
the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any other state, local or federal law.

          (b) Confidential Information Defined. As used in this Agreement, the
term "Confidential Information" shall mean all information regarding Company,
Company's activities, Company's business or Company's clients that is not
generally known to persons not employed (as employees or independent agents) by
Company, that is not generally disclosed by Company practice or authority to
persons not employed by Company and is the subject of reasonable efforts to keep
it confidential. Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to
product code, product concepts, production techniques, technical information
regarding Company products or services, production processes and product/service
development, operations techniques, product/service formulas, information
concerning Company techniques for use and integration of its website and other
products/services, current and future development and expansion or contraction
plans of Company, sale/acquisition plans and contacts, marketing plans and
contacts, information concerning the legal affairs of Company and certain
information concerning the strategy, tactics and financial affairs of Company.
"Confidential Information" shall not include information that has become
generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to
disclose such information without violating any right or privilege of Company.
This definition shall not limit any definition of "confidential information" or
any equivalent term under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any other state,
local or federal law.

          (c) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. During Executive's
employment hereunder and for a period of one (1) year after Executive's
employment with Company terminates for any reason, Executive shall not directly
or indirectly transmit or disclose

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, concern or entity,
or make use of any such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, for
himself or for others, without the prior express written consent of the Chief
Executive Officer of Company; provided, however, that during the term of this
Agreement and perpetually thereafter, for so long as the information remains a
Trade Secret, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for himself or for
others, without the prior express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer
of Company, transmit or disclose any Trade Secrets to any person, concern or
entity, or make use of any such Trade Secrets. Executive warrants that he has
not disclosed or used for his own benefit or the benefit of anyone other than
Company any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets prior to the execution of
this Agreement.

          (d) Enforceability of Covenants. Executive and Company agree that
Executive's obligations under these nondisclosure covenants are separate and
distinct from other provisions of this Agreement, and a failure or alleged
failure of Company to perform their obligations under any provision of this
Agreement or other agreements with Company shall not constitute a defense to the
enforceability of these nondisclosure covenants. Nothing in this provision or
this Agreement shall limit any rights or remedies otherwise available to Company
under federal, state or local law.

     8. Nonrecruitment and Nonsolicitation Covenants.

          (a) Nonrecruitment of Employees. In consideration of the compensation
and benefits being paid and to be paid by Company to Executive hereunder,
Executive hereby agrees that, during employment with Company and for one (1)
year after the termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly solicit or recruit for employment or encourage to leave
employment with Company, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
entity other than Company or any affiliate of Company, any person with whom
Executive worked, or about whom Executive gained Confidential Information,
during Executive's employment and who performed services for Company clients or
worked on Company products or services while employed by Company and who has not
thereafter ceased to be employed by Company for a period of at least one (1)
year. Executive agrees to exercise his best efforts to prevent any of the
activities listed in this section from occurring.

          (b) Nonsolicitation of Customers. In consideration of the compensation
and benefits being paid and to be paid by Company to Executive hereunder,
Executive hereby agrees that, during his employment with Company and for one (1)
year after the termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or of anyone other than Company,
solicit, divert away, take away or attempt to solicit or take away any Customer
or Potential Customer of Company for purposes of providing or selling products
or services that are competitive with those provided by Company, if Company is
then still engaged in the provision or sale of that type of good or service. For
purposes of this covenant, "Customer" means any individual or entity to whom
Company has provided goods or services and with whom Executive had, alone or in
conjunction with others, Material Contact during the one (1) year prior to the
termination of Executive's employment and "Potential Customer" means any
individual or entity to whom the Company has actively sought to sell products or
services within the one (1) year immediately prior to the termination of
Executive's employment

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

and with whom Executive had Material Contact on the Company's behalf during that
same time period. For purposes of this covenant, Executive had "Material
Contact" with a customer if (i) Executive had business dealings with the
customer on the Company's behalf; (ii) Executive was responsible for supervising
or coordinating the dealings between the customer and the Company; or (iii)
Executive obtained Trade Secrets or Confidential Information (such terms having
the same meanings as defined in Section 7 above, but in each case relating to
the Customer or Potential Customer) about the customer as a result of
Executive's association with the Company.

          (c) Enforceability of Covenants. Executive acknowledges that the
Company has a present and future expectation of business from the present and
proposed customers of the Company. Executive acknowledges the reasonableness of
the term and scope of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and agrees that
he will not, in any action, suit or other proceeding, deny the reasonableness
of, or assert the unreasonableness of, the premises, consideration or scope of
the covenants set forth herein. Executive further acknowledges that complying
with the provisions contained in this Agreement will not preclude him from
engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business, or from becoming gainfully
employed. Executive and Company agree that Executive's obligations under the
above covenant are separate and distinct under this Agreement, and the failure
or alleged failure of Company to perform its obligations under any other
provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a defense to the
enforceability of this covenant. Executive agrees that any breach of this
covenant will result in irreparable damage and injury to Company and that
Company will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction without the necessity of posting any bond. Executive also agrees
that he shall be responsible for all damages incurred by Company due to any
breach of the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement and that Company
shall be entitled to have Executive pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred
by Company in enforcing the restrictive covenants in this Agreement.

     9. Ownership of Protected Works.

Agreement means any and all ideas, inventions, formulas, source codes, object
codes, techniques, processes, concepts, systems, programs, software, software

demonstrably anticipated research or development of Company; or (ii) result from
any work performed by Executive for Company.

with Company under this Agreement and during his employment with, or other
engagement by Company prior to the execution of this Agreement (whether as
employee or independent contractor) are the sole property of Company, and that
no compensation in addition to the amounts set forth in Section 2 of this
Agreement is due to Executive for development or transfer of such Protected
Works. Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign all of his respective
rights, title and interest in Protected Works, including all patents or patent

applications, all assignments, all registration applications and all other
instruments or papers to carry into full force and effect, the assignment,
transfer and conveyance hereby made or intended to be made and generally do
everything possible for title to the Protected Works and all patents or
copyrights or trademarks or service marks therein to be clearly and exclusively
held by Company. Executive agrees that he will not apply for any state, federal,
or other jurisdiction's registration of rights in any of the Protected Works and
that he will not oppose or object in any way to applications for registration of
same by Company or others designated by Company. Executive agrees to exercise
reasonable care to avoid making the Protected Works available to any third

Protected Works are made available to third parties in any manner by Executive
without the express written consent of Company.

          (c) Executive agrees to disclose and describe to Company, as soon as

others, within one (1) year after Executive's leaving Company's employ.

          (d) There is no other contract or duty on Executive's part now in
existence to assign Protected Works to anyone other than Company. Executive will
not disclose or induce Company to use any confidential information or material
that Executive is now or shall become aware of which belongs to anyone other
than Company. During Executive's employment by Company, Executive will not
engage in any employment, consulting or other activity in any business
competitive with Company's business as presently conducted or as conducted at
any future time during Executive's employment.

     10. Rights to Materials and Return of Materials. All records, files,

Company after termination or Company's request for return.

     11. Inventions, Discoveries and Improvements.

          (a) Executive will promptly disclose and describe to Company (i) all
inventions, improvements, discoveries and technical developments, whether or not

("Inventions"), during the term of Executive's employment with Company or other
engagement with Company, provided that Company shall receive such information in
confidence and (ii) all Inventions which are based in whole or in part upon
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets and are made or conceived by
Executive, either alone or with others, within one (1) year after Executive's

unpatentable, made, devised or discovered by Executive, whether by himself or
jointly with others, which relate or pertain in any way to the business of
Company, shall be used solely for the benefit of Company and become and remain
their sole and exclusive property. Executive agrees to execute an assignment to
Company or its nominee of Executive's entire right, title and interest in and to
such Inventions made or conceived by Executive, either alone or with others,
during the term of Executive's employment or within one (1) year after
Executive's leaving Company's employ, and to execute any other instruments and
documents that may be requested by Company for the purpose of applying for and
obtaining patents with respect to such Inventions in the United States and in
all foreign countries. Executive further agrees, whether or not in the employ of
Company, to cooperate to the extent and in the manner reasonably requested by
Company in the prosecution or defense of any patent claims or any litigation or
other proceedings involving any such Inventions, but all of Executive's
reasonable expenses in connection with such litigation or other proceedings
shall be paid by Company.

          (b) If a patent application or copyright registration is filed by
Executive or on Executive's behalf during Executive's employment or other
engagement with Company, whether before or after execution of this Agreement, or
within one (1) year after Executive's leaving Company's employ, describing an
Invention within the scope of Executive's work for Company or which otherwise
relates to a portion of Company's business of which Executive had knowledge
during Executive's employment with Company, it is to be conclusively presumed
that the Invention was conceived by Executive during the period of such
employment.

          (c) There is no other contract or duty on Executive's part now in
existence to assign Inventions other than to Company. Executive will not
disclose or induce Company to use any confidential information or material that
Executive is now or shall become aware of which belongs to anyone other than
Company. During Executive's employment by Company, Executive will not engage in
any employment, consulting or other activity in any business competitive with
Company's business as presently conducted or as conducted at any future time
during Executive's employment.

                                  AMENDMENT TO

                      CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Amendment to Change of Control Severance Agreement (the "Amendment")
is made and entered into by and between Arthur W. Beckman (the "Executive") and
Indus International, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), effective as
of February 1, 2006 (the "Effective Date").

                                    RECITALS

     1. The Company and Executive have entered into a Change of Control
Severance Agreement (the "Agreement") with an effective date of May 5, 2005;

     2. The Board, acting through its Compensation Committee, has determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to offer
the Executive this Amendment;

                                    AMENDMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein
and the continued employment of Executive by the Company, the parties agree as
follows:

     1. Amended and Restated Section 3 (a). Section 3(a) is hereby amended and
restated to read as follows:

          "(a) Involuntary Termination Following a Change of Control. If within
twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control (A) the Executive
terminates his or her employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company) for "Good Reason" (as defined herein) or the Company (or any
parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates the Executive's employment for
other than "Cause" (as defined herein), and (B) the Executive signs the
Company's standard separation agreement and release of claims with the Company,
then the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits
from the Company: (i) a lump sum amount equal to one (1) times the sum of (x)
Executive's then-current base salary plus (y) a payment equal to Executive's
annual bonus target for the performance year in which the Change in Control
occurs, or if such amount is not determinable, Executive's annual bonus paid or
payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but
deferred, for the most recently completed fiscal year; and (ii) reimbursement
for full COBRA (for the Executive and any of Executive's dependents that
Executive had elected to cover by Company's benefit plans during Executive's
employment at the Company) expenses for the earlier of eighteen (18) months or
until Executive receives health, medical and/or dental benefits, respectively,
from a new employer. In addition, Executive's outstanding options to purchase
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Options") and unvested restricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Restricted Stock") shall immediately
vest and, in the case of Options, become exercisable. In all other respects the
Options and Restricted Stock shall continue to be bound by and subject to the
terms of their respective agreements."

     2. New Section 3 (g). The following Section 3(g) is hereby added to the
Agreement:

<PAGE>

          "(g) Termination in Anticipation of a Change of Control. If a Change
of Control occurs, and if Executive's employment with the Company is terminated
by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company (or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company) for other than Cause within six (6) months prior to the date on
which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by
Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third
party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or
(ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of
Control, then for purposes of this Section 3, such termination of employment
shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the Change of Control and
Executive shall be entitled to the benefits described in Section 3(a)."

     3. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          (a) Definitions; Integration. A capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning given such term in the Agreement. This
Amendment, together with the Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding of
the parties as regards to the subject matter hereof and cannot be modified
except by further written agreement of the parties.

          (b) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Amendment, in the
case of the Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year set
