11.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, LRS grants to

     with the terms hereof and to enforce the provisions of a superceding Fixed
     Fee Software License Agreement which shall be negotiated within thirty (30)
     days following the Effective Date ("Fixed Fee Software License Agreement").
     The basic understanding between the Parties with respect to the Fixed Fee
     Software License Agreement is detailed in the "Superceding Term Sheet" (as
     defined in the Term Sheet) agreed to by the Parties. A copy of the
     Superceding Term Sheet is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
     Exhibit D. The Option will be exercised, if at all, by written notice from
     Dialogic to LRS on or before August 1, 2001, delivered together with a
     copy, executed by Dialogic, of the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement.

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

11.2 If Dialogic exercises the Option in accordance with Section 11.1 above,
     then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
     and effect unless and until all of the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement
     has been executed by both Parties, except that the Parties agree that the
     upon execution of the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement by both Parties
     the terms and conditions of the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement will
     supercede the terms and conditions of this Agreement effective upon the
     date the Option was exercised (i.e., the terms and conditions of the Fixed
     Fee Software License Agreement shall be effective as of the date the Option
     was exercised and not as of the date Fixed Fee Software License Agreement
     was fully executed).

11.3 Any Per Seat License Fees (including, without limitation, the "Pre-Paid
     License Fee" described in Exhibit B hereto) paid by Dialogic to LRS under
     this Agreement with respect to any or all of the Licensed Software other
     than the Power Agent Desktop Application shall be credited by LRS to any
     amounts payable under the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement with respect
     to licensing the Licensed Software provided, however, that no such credit
     shall exceed Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) Dollars. A pro rata
     percentage of such credit shall be applied against each installment payment
     of the license fee payable under the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement.
     For purposes of this Section 11.3, the amount of any Per Seat License Fee
     paid by Dialogic to LRS which is attributable to the Power Agent Desktop
     Application shall be calculated as follows: (a) if the Power Agent Desktop
     Application is licensed to an End User Customer as part of the Licensed
     Software then the amount attributable to the Power Agent Desktop
     Application shall be the product of (i) the Per Seat License Fee paid by
     Dialogic to LRS with respect to the Licensed Software, multiplied by (ii)
     twenty (20%) percent; and (b) if the Power Agent Desktop Application is
     licensed to an End User Customer on its own or with some but not all of the
     other parts of the Licensed Software then the amount attributable to the
     Power Agent Desktop Application shall be the amount mutually agreed to by
     both Parties in good faith.

11.4 Until exercise or expiration of the Option set forth under this Section 11,
     LRS shall immediately provide Dialogic with written notice upon the
     occurrence of any of the following events ("Events"): (a) LRS's decision to
     offer to sell or otherwise transfer or assign any ownership rights to the
     Licensed Software to any third party (including, any assignment or transfer
     to any third party acquiring all or substantially all of LRS's assets or
     stock or through reorganization or amalgamation involving such third party)
     or (b) LRS's decision to license the Licensed Software on an exclusive
     basis or on better terms and conditions than the license granted to
     Dialogic hereunder and under the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement. If
     either of the Events occur, Dialogic will have sixty (60) days from receipt
     of the requisite notice from LRS to exercise the Option. Upon execution of
     the Option, Dialogic will have the right, in addition to any other rights
     herein and in the Fixed Fee Software License Agreement, to enforce its
     right of first refusal (including, without limitation, any matching rights)
     granted under the Supplemental Term Sheet or Fixed Fee Software License
     Agreement, as applicable.

                          LICENSED SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

A.   DESCRIPTION OF LICENSED SOFTWARE
--   --------------------------------

The following is a description of the Licensed Software.

Interaction Manager Version 4.2 Service Pack 1

Lightning Rod Interaction Manager(TM) Version 4.2 Service Pack 1 is a complete,
integrated suite which allows e-businesses to handle all customer interactions,
including Web chat, Web collaboration, Web callback, e-mail, fax, faxback, phone
and IVR.

The Interaction Manager Version 4.2 Service Pack 1 Platform is made up of four
main components:

     1.   Modules: The media modules are the variety of communication types
          through which customers can reach a business. They include Web chat,
          Web collaboration, Web callback, e-mail, fax, faxback, phone and IVR.

     2.   Gateway: The Interaction Gateway includes the Universal Queue engine
          and is the core of the system that prioritizes, routes and queues
          customer interactions. Sophisticated algorithms can let the entire
          system adapt in real-time to changing customer traffic, making maximum
          use of available resources.

     3.   PowerAgent: The PowerAgent is a single, consistent interface through
          which contact center agents receive and control all interaction types.

     4.   Tools & API's: Management tools allows for easy system administration
          and report generation across all media. Integration tools and API's
          provide a bridge to your e-business data warehouse and business
          applications.

1. Modules

     Chat - Live web chat allows customers and agents to communicate in
     real-time by typing messages in a pop-up window.

     Web Collaboration - Like a salesperson in a department store, agents may
     need to physically guide a customer through a site to find a particular
     product or category. Web collaboration allows the customer and agent to
     simultaneously view Web pages while they chat on screen or on the phone.

     Agents can also initiate page pushing which allows them to send specific
     Web pages to the customer for viewing.

     Agents can help customers make product selections and place them into a
     shopping cart and guide the purchase process and dramatically reducing cart
     abandonment.

          o    Joint Form Completion
               The Web collaboration module also offers joint form completion.
               Agents can locate an online form, present it in the customer's
               Web browser, and proceed to assist the customer in competing
               fields, choosing options and checking boxes or buttons.

                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

          o    Pre-Defined Sequences
               Agents can respond to frequently asked questions with a
               pre-defined sequence of Web addresses.

     Web Callback - An online customer who has a product or service question can
     simply click a button and request a callback from an agent. This service
     alleviates the customer from having to call into your company, possibly
     wait for an agent and then be routed to the proper area. A customer can
     request the callback immediately or at a convenient scheduled time.

     E-mail - E-mail as a communication tool continues to grow. Methods of
     managing and responding to the increasing volumes will greatly impact
     staffing requirements, costs, and level of customer service.

          o    Pre-Defined Response
               As with the chat and Web collaboration modules, pre-defined
               e-mail responses are easily accessible by agents, ensuring
               efficient and consistent handling. Administrators can
               pre-configure the subject, body and attachment fields. An
               unlimited number of responses may be stored and categorized for
               easy retrieval. Agents may edit or add content for further
               personalization to the e-mail.

          o    Auto Acknowledge
               Auto Acknowledge is another available feature and is used to
               generate an automatic outbound e-mail, which acknowledges the
               receipt of customer e-mail.

          o    E-mail Review
               E-mail Review allows managers to review outbound e-mails before
               they are released. Specified e-mails can be routed to a manager
               (or other designated reviewer) prior to release to your customer.

     Inbound Voice - The Inbound Voice module recognizes dialed number and then
     prioritizes and queues accordingly. When linked to a contact or CRM
     database, the telephone number used to make the inbound call is used to
     automatically "pop" the customer's profile and historical information onto
     the agent's screen. Inbound Voice also delivers informational, delay and
     overflow messages to incoming callers.

     IVR (Interactive Voice Response) - The IVR module provides a customer the
     ability to access real-time information free of live assistance.

     Voice Messaging - When used with the IVR module, a customer can choose the
     option of leaving a message rather than waiting on hold. The recorded
     message (not the customer) then enters the queue to wait for the next
     available agent. Recorded messages are routed to an agent just like any
     other interaction.

     Fax and Faxback - By fully integrating fax capability with other customer
     options, faxes can be queued for agents along with other contact media, and
     used to fill "slow" times between calls, or queued along with lower
     priority calls. The Interaction Manager Fax Module provides the following
     capabilities:

          o    Inbound faxes can be prioritized, queued and routed like voice
               calls.
          o    Outbound faxes can be predefined and selected for response.
          o    Outbound fax back sends faxes automatically in response to IVR
               data input by callers. This self-serve feature reduces agent
               workload and increases availability for personalized service
               interactions.

     Knowledge Manager
     Knowledge Manager maintains a history of all interactions for each customer
     across all media modules. It tracks the path of customer interactions as
     well as agent responses - from initial contact to final resolution.

     Stored in the Knowledge Manager database is a record of all customer
     interactions, the response rendered, the resources deployed, and the
     outcome achieved. Agents can drill down through the history of an
     interaction using the familiar tree structure. All data is searchable by
     transaction number, date/time, media type and agent name.

2.   Gateways

The heart of the system is the Interaction Gateway, which is available in two
versions: Web-only or multi-channel. The Interaction Gateway prioritizes, queues
and routes interactions from all sources and to all resources configured within
the system. The Universal Queue allows for consistent handling of customer
interactions across all modules, including Web chat, Web collaboration, Web
callback, e-mail, fax, fax back, phone and IVR. Business rules and workflow
logic can be applied to the range of interactions to direct contact center
management and guide skills-based routing.

3.   PowerAgent

The PowerAgent interface is the single window through which your agents view and
control all customer interactions.

     o    Integration Across All Media
          All media interaction types, both phone and Web-based, are viewed
          through the PowerAgent, ensuring ease-of-use for contact center
          agents. An agent can, for example, receive a phone call inquiry from a
          customer and, while conversing, can send an e-mail or fax to the
          customer with supporting information - all through the same screen, at
          the same time.

          For each interaction, the PowerAgent automatically displays a customer
          profile and interaction history for use during the session.

     o    Customizable with External Applications
          The PowerAgent interface is Windows(R)-based and browser-based and is
          customizable to the specific needs of business. Third-party
          applications or internal business applications can be launched
          automatically upon agent acceptance of specified transaction types.

     o    Intuitive Interface
          Easy-to-use buttons, toolbars and pull-down menus allow agents to:

          o    Accept, decline, or re-queue transactions
          o    View the queue length and activity status of the contact center.
          o    Consult with a colleague for assistance while receiving or making
               a call.
          o    Alternate between, or conference with, the first or third party o
               Transfer or reassign interactions with attached notepad comments,
               if desired.
          o    Change availability status.
          o    Initiate an outgoing fax, e-mail or voice call.

                                    Page 12
<PAGE>

         Upon closing an interaction, the agent can select from a pre-defined
         list of interaction classifications. This information is useful for
         analysis and reporting by managers for profiling contact center
         interaction volume.

4.   Tools

Management tools allow for easy system administration and report generation
across all media. Integration tools provide a bridge to your e-business data
warehouse and business applications.

     Data Manager - The Data Manager application provides a concise view of
     system resource utilization, which displays levels of usage and capacity.
     The ability to back up, archive and restore data are made easy with Data
     Management Wizards and the Microsoft(R) Management Console (MMC).

     Config Builder - Config Builder is an easy-to-use control panel for
     configuring all modules and resources within Interaction Manager. Its
     point-and-click interface allows simple guided management of the entire
     integrated process. It provides an effective means of adjusting system
     function to achieve desired service levels.

     Monitor - The Monitor application is a powerful, automated assistant that
     greatly simplifies these processes. It uses alarms, icons, and color-coded
     indicators to provide instant visual cues about activity status. Managers
     are alerted when the contact center has achieved a pre-determined level of
     activity and are immediately able to adjust and optimize resources in
     real-time. Monitor provides accurate real-time information on all managed
     resources across all interaction types, whether phone or Web-based.
     Managers can determine how personnel are being utilized, compare work and
     idle times, analyze efficiency and much more.

     Reporter - Interaction Manager Reporter is a customizable, Web-based
     reporting tool that allows managers to produce pre-defined or custom
     reports with ease - all through a standard Internet browser.

     As each interaction enters the system, information such as the interaction
     type, current status, agent name, and customer-entered data are stored in a
     central database. All data - across all media types - is available to
     Reporter for report creation.

     Managers can easily create, categorize, view, print, and export
     mission-critical reports by choosing from several pre-defined reports or by
     creating custom reports using the industry-standard Crystal Reports(TM)
     Designer. Scheduled reports can be set up to run daily, weekly, monthly or
     any other frequency.

Integration Tools

Data Repository - The Interaction Manager Data Repository gathers information
from all activities and processes occurring throughout the operation of the
contact center. Two types of data are stored: operational and analytical.

Integration Toolkit - The Integration Toolkit provides the capability to
integrate Interaction Manager to 3rd party applications to achieve such features
as screen-pops, voice and data call transfer, and CRM integration. A set of
API's provide easy integration between Interaction Manager and third party
communications solutions and business applications

------------

Interaction Manager Version 4.2 Service Pack 1

Lightning Rod Interaction Manager(TM) Version 4.2 Service Pack 1 is a complete,
integrated suite which allows e-businesses to handle all customer interactions,
including Web chat, Web collaboration, Web callback, e-mail, fax, faxback, phone
and IVR.

The Interaction Manager Version 4.2 Service Pack 1 Platform is made up of four
main components:

     1.   Modules: The media modules are the variety of communication types
          through which customers can reach a business. They include Web chat,
          Web collaboration, Web callback, e-mail, fax, faxback, phone and IVR.
          1.

     2.   Gateway: The Interaction Gateway includes the Universal Queue engine
          and is the core of the system that prioritizes, routes and queues
          customer interactions. Sophisticated algorithms can let the entire
          system adapt in real-time to changing customer traffic, making maximum
          use of available resources.

     3.   PowerAgent: The PowerAgent is a single, consistent interface through
          which contact center agents receive and control all interaction types.
          The PowerAgent is not licensed as part of the LRS Software.

     4.   Tools & API's: Management tools allows for easy system administration
          and report generation across all media. Integration tools and API's
          provide a bridge to your e-business data warehouse and business
          applications.

Modules

          Chat - Live web chat allows customers and agents to communicate in
          real-time by typing messages in a pop-up window.

          Web Collaboration - Like a salesperson in a department store, agents
          may need to physically guide a customer through a site to find a
          particular product or category. Web collaboration allows the customer
          and agent to simultaneously view Web pages while they chat on screen
          or on the phone.

          Agents can also initiate page pushing which allows them to send
          specific Web pages to the customer for viewing.

          Agents can help customers make product selections and place them into
          a shopping cart and guide the purchase process and dramatically
          reducing cart abandonment.

                                    Page 22
<PAGE>

          o    Joint Form Completion
               The Web collaboration module also offers joint form completion.
               Agents can locate an online form, present it in the customer's
               Web browser, and proceed to assist the customer in competing
               fields, choosing options and checking boxes or buttons.

          o    Pre-Defined Sequences
               Agents can respond to frequently asked questions with a
               pre-defined sequence of Web addresses.

          Web Callback - An online customer who has a product or service
          question can simply click a button and request a callback from an
          agent. This service alleviates the customer from having to call into
          your company, possibly wait for an agent and then be routed to the
          proper area. A customer can request the callback immediately or at a
          convenient scheduled time.

          E-mail - E-mail as a communication tool continues to grow. Methods of
          managing and responding to the increasing volumes will greatly impact
          staffing requirements, costs, and level of customer service.

          o    Pre-Defined Response
               As with the chat and Web collaboration modules, pre-defined
               e-mail responses are easily accessible by agents, ensuring
               efficient and consistent handling. Administrators can
               pre-configure the subject, body and attachment fields. An
               unlimited number of responses may be stored and categorized for
               easy retrieval. Agents may edit or add content for further
               personalization to the e-mail.

          o    Auto Acknowledge
               Auto Acknowledge is another available feature and is used to
               generate an automatic outbound e-mail, which acknowledges the
               receipt of customer e-mail.

          o    E-mail Review
               E-mail Review allows managers to review outbound e-mails before
               they are released. Specified e-mails can be routed to a manager
               (or other designated reviewer) prior to release to your customer.

          Inbound Voice - The Inbound Voice module recognizes dialed number and
          then prioritizes and queues accordingly. When linked to a contact or
          CRM database, the telephone number used to make the inbound call is
          used to automatically "pop" the customer's profile and historical
          information onto the agent's screen. Inbound Voice also delivers
          informational, delay and overflow messages to incoming callers.

          IVR (Interactive Voice Response) - The IVR module provides a customer
          the ability to access real-time information free of live assistance.

          Voice Messaging - When used with the IVR module, a customer can choose
          the option of leaving a message rather than waiting on hold. The
          recorded message (not the customer) then enters the queue to wait for
          the next available agent. Recorded messages are routed to an agent
          just like any other interaction.

          Fax and Faxback - By fully integrating fax capability with other
          customer options, faxes can be queued for agents along with other
          contact media, and used to fill "slow" times between calls, or queued
          along with lower priority calls. The Interaction Manager Fax Module
          provides the following capabilities:

                                    Page 23
<PAGE>

          o    Inbound faxes can be prioritized, queued and routed like voice
               calls.
          o    Outbound faxes can be predefined and selected for response.
          o    Outbound fax back sends faxes automatically in response to IVR
               data input by callers. This self-serve feature reduces agent
               workload and increases availability for personalized service
               interactions.

          Knowledge Manager
          Knowledge Manager maintains a history of all interactions for each
          customer across all media modules. It tracks the path of customer
          interactions as well as agent responses - from initial contact to
          final resolution.

          Stored in the Knowledge Manager database is a record of all customer
          interactions, the response rendered, the resources deployed, and the
          outcome achieved. Agents can drill down through the history of an
          interaction using the familiar tree structure. All data is searchable
          by transaction number, date/time, media type and agent name.

Gateways

The heart of the system is the Interaction Gateway, which is available in two
versions: Web-only or multi-channel. The Interaction Gateway prioritizes, queues
and routes interactions from all sources and to all resources configured within
the system. The Universal Queue allows for consistent handling of customer
interactions across all modules, including Web chat, Web collaboration, Web
callback, e-mail, fax, fax back, phone and IVR. Business rules and workflow
logic can be applied to the range of interactions to direct contact center
management and guide skills-based routing.

Tools

Management tools allow for easy system administration and report generation
across all media. Integration tools provide a bridge to your e-business data
warehouse and business applications.

     Data Manager - The Data Manager application provides a concise view of
     system resource utilization, which displays levels of usage and capacity.
     The ability to back up, archive and restore data are made easy with Data
     Management Wizards and the Microsoft(R) Management Console (MMC).

     Config Builder - Config Builder is an easy-to-use control panel for
     configuring all modules and resources within Interaction Manager. Its
     point-and-click interface allows simple guided management of the entire
     integrated process. It provides an effective means of adjusting system
     function to achieve desired service levels.

     Monitor - The Monitor application is a powerful, automated assistant that
     greatly simplifies these processes. It uses alarms, icons, and color-coded
     indicators to provide instant visual cues about activity status. Managers
     are alerted when the contact center has achieved a pre-determined level of
     activity and are immediately able to adjust and optimize resources in
     real-time. Monitor provides accurate real-time information on all managed
     resources across all interaction types, whether phone or Web-based.
     Managers can determine how personnel are being utilized, compare work and
     idle times, analyze efficiency and much more.

     Reporter - Interaction Manager Reporter is a customizable, Web-based
     reporting tool that allows managers to produce pre-defined or custom
     reports with ease - all through a standard Internet browser.

                                    Page 24
<PAGE>

     As each interaction enters the system, information such as the interaction
     type, current status, agent name, and customer-entered data are stored in a
     central database. All data - across all media types - is available to
     Reporter for report creation.

     Managers can easily create, categorize, view, print, and export
     mission-critical reports by choosing from several pre-defined reports or by
     creating custom reports using the industry-standard Crystal Reports(TM)
     Designer. Scheduled reports can be set up to run daily, weekly, monthly or
     any other frequency.

Integration Tools

Data Repository - The Interaction Manager Data Repository gathers information
from all activities and processes occurring throughout the operation of the
contact center. Two types of data are stored: operational and analytical.

Integration Toolkit - The Integration Toolkit provides the capability to
integrate Interaction Manager to 3rd party applications to achieve such features
as screen-pops, voice and data call transfer, and CRM integration. A set of
API's provide easy integration between Interaction Manager and third party
communications solutions and business applications

CyberCall Demo Software
The Lightning Rod Software demonstration illustrates the substantial positive
impact on the operation of a contact center employing a multi-channel contact
strategy that uses Universal Queue technology. The business is Cyber-Trekking, a
Time Travel Agency that sells trips into the past or future. Cyber-Trekking has
a Web site that allows customers the ability to receive information about trips
and book them online. Cyber-Trekking has implemented Lightning Rod Software's
Interaction Manager product suite, enabling customers to contact them via Web
chat, Web collaboration, Web callback, e-mail, fax, fax-back, phone and
Interactive Voice Response (IVR).

POWER AGENT SOFTWARE

PowerAgent

The PowerAgent interface is the single window through which your agents view and
control all customer interactions.

     o    Integration Across All Media
          All media interaction types, both phone and Web-based, are viewed
          through the PowerAgent, ensuring ease-of-use for contact center
          agents. An agent can, for example, receive a phone call inquiry from a
          customer and, while conversing, can send an e-mail or fax to the
          customer with supporting information - all through the same screen, at
          the same time.

          For each interaction, the PowerAgent automatically displays a customer
          profile and interaction history for use during the session.

     o    Customizable with External Applications
          The PowerAgent interface is Windows(R)-based and browser-based and is
          customizable to the specific needs of business. Third-party
          applications or internal business applications can be launched
          automatically upon agent acceptance of specified transaction types.

     o    Intuitive Interface
          Easy-to-use buttons, toolbars and pull-down menus allow agents to:

                                    Page 25
<PAGE>

          o    Accept, decline, or re-queue transactions
          o    View the queue length and activity status of the contact center.
          o    Consult with a colleague for assistance while receiving or making
               a call.
          o    Alternate between, or conference with, the first or third party
          o    Transfer or reassign interactions with attached notepad comments,
               if desired.
          o    Change availability status.
          o    Initiate an outgoing fax, e-mail or voice call.

          Upon closing an interaction, the agent can select from a pre-defined
          list of interaction classifications. This information is useful for
          analysis and reporting by managers for profiling contact center
          interaction volume.

employee and consultant agreeing to be bound thereby. In this regard you agree
that you and your employees and consultants will:

                                       1
<PAGE>

     o    not disclose any Confidential Information to any person except other
          employees or agents of Dialogic who need to know the Confidential
          Information in order to do their jobs for Dialogic;

     o    not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than to
          perform under this Agreement; and

     o    maintain and safeguard the Confidential Information in accordance with
          the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the CNDA referenced on
          the first page of this Agreement.

B. These confidentiality obligations will continue even after your assignment
with Dialogic is over, until such time as the Confidential Information enters
the public domain.

C. This agreement will not apply to information (i) that is already available to
the public; (ii) that becomes available to the public other than by unauthorized
disclosure; or (iii) that you develop without any use of any of the Confidential
Information. If you or your employees or consultants are required to produce
information due to legal or regulatory requirement, you will promptly notify
Dialogic and cooperate with Dialogic's efforts to assure that its confidential
information is protected.

6.   OWNERSHIP OF CREATED MATERIALS.
     ------------------------------
A. During your and your employee's and consultant's assignment under this
agreement, you or your employees or consultants may create, and may in the
future again create, certain materials (including, without limitation, any
deliverables created under any Statement of Work) for Dialogic. The term
"Created Materials" means anything that you or your employees or consultants
have created or done (including, without limitation, the services provided and
deliverables created under any Statement of Work), or may in the future create
or do, for Dialogic by yourself or themselves or with others. Created Materials
may be tangible things like documents, drawings, prototypes, reports,
schematics, software, specifications, etc., or may be intangible things like
concepts, discoveries, ideas, information, etc. Something is a Created Material
if you or your employees or consultants created or did it during all the time
spent on any consulting project, even if you or your employees or consultants
created or did it only in part, or only together with other people, or out of
normal business hours, so long as it is related in any way to the business of
Dialogic or any of Dialogic's subsidiaries or affiliates.

B. With respect to Created Materials, you agree (and will cause each of your
employees and consultants to agree) that:

     o    they will be the sole and exclusive property of Dialogic; and you and
          your employees and consultants assign to Dialogic all of your rights
          in Created Materials; unless written permission to keep specific
          materials is obtained from Dialogic.

     o    you and your employees and consultants will keep complete, dated and
          witnessed notebooks of the conception, origin, development and
          reduction to practice of Created Materials and will provide and
          disclose such notebooks to Dialogic;

     o    you and your employees and consultants will disclose all Created
          Materials, including your notebooks, to Dialogic promptly and
          completely;

     o    to the extent a copyright or patent or other intellectual property
          right may be obtained in any Created Material, that copyright is
          assigned to Dialogic and you and your employees and consultants retain
          no rights therein or to the Created Materials under applicable
          copyright, patent or other intellectual property laws;

     o    You agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
          neither you nor your employees or consultants will assert any "moral
          rights" or similar rights against Dialogic or its licensees or assigns
          with respect to the Created Materials;

     o    You and your employees and consultants will sign any documents, and
          assist Dialogic in any applications or proceedings, that may be
          necessary to secure for Dialogic the ownership or protection of the
          Created Materials and any patents, copyrights or other proprietary
          rights related to the Created Materials. If necessary for Dialogic,
          you and your employees and consultants will do these things even after
          your assignment with Dialogic is over, in which case Dialogic will pay
          you a reasonable fee for the time that you spend on its behalf and
          reimburse you for any ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket expenses
          that you incur;

     o    you and your employees and consultants will deliver to Dialogic all
          Created Materials when your assignment with Dialogic is over; and

     o    you will secure written agreements from each employee involved in work
          for Dialogic to abide by these requirements respecting Created
          Materials.

C. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(C), Dialogic shall have no
right, title or interest in any LRS Pre-Existing Information incorporated in any
Created Materials. In the event that LRS Pre-Existing Information is
incorporated in Created Materials, LRS grants to Dialogic the same rights with
respect to the LRS Pre-existing Information as granted under the "Software
License Agreement" or "Fixed Fee Software License", as applicable, between
Dialogic and you. As used herein, "LRS Pre-

                                       2
<PAGE>

Existing Information" means LRS's specifications, designs, plans, drawings,
software, data prototypes or other technical or business information related to
the Lightning Rod Interaction Manager(TM) computer software which (i) existed
prior to full execution of this Agreement and as evidenced by the written record
kept by LRS in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is considered
proprietary or confidential. LRS and Dialogic will identify and detail any and
all LRS Pre-Existing Information in each Statement of Work.

7.   TERMINATION

perform or observe any material term or condition of this Agreement and such

have the right to terminate this Agreement and any SOW upon thirty (30) days

Agreement and any SOW upon thirty (30) days written notice to Dialogic if LRS

Superceding Agreement and 13. Miscellaneous.

A. You agree to indemnify and save harmless Dialogic from and against any
losses, damages, claims, demands, suits and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) that arise out of or result from injuries or death to persons
or damage to property caused by your fraud, willful misconduct or grossly
negligent acts or grossly negligent omissions, or those of persons furnished by
you or in any way arising out of your performance of this Agreement; or
assertions made by persons furnished by you under Workers' Compensation or
similar acts. You agree to defend Dialogic at Dialogic's request against any
such claims, demands or suits. You agree to maintain Comprehensive General
Liability insurance in effect during the period of this contract in an amount
equal to not less than one million dollars and to name Dialogic as an additional
insured thereunder and to provide Dialogic with proof of such insurance upon
request.

B. THE AMOUNT OF THE DIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES AND COSTS, FROM ANY
CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER HEREUNDER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, IS LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT
EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO LRS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR $500,000
EXCEPT THAT DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE MISREPRESENTATION, WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF THE OTHER PARTY OR A BREACH OF SECTION 5 ("USE
OF INFORMATION") OR SECTION 8 ("INDEMNIFICATION") HEREOF BY THE OTHER PARTY
SHALL NOT BE LIMITED.

C. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE INDMEMNIFICATION UNDER SECTION 8 OR A BREACH OF
THE "USE OF INFORMATION" PROVISIONS UNDER SECTION 5, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE
LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, RELIANCE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OBLIGATION RESULTING THEREFROM, WHETHER IN AN
ACTION FOR OR ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, DELAY,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

9.   FORCE MAJEURE.
     -------------
Except with respect to payment obligations, neither party shall be held
responsible for any delay or failure in performance to the extent that such
delay or earthquakes, floods, wars, water, the elements, labor disputes,
government requirements, civil or military authorities, acts of God or by the
public enemy, inability to secure raw materials or transportation facilities,
acts or omissions of carriers or suppliers or other causes beyond its reasonable
control.

10.  ASSIGNMENT.
     ----------
You shall not assign any right or interest under this Agreement or delegate or
subcontract performance hereunder without the express written consent of
Dialogic. Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention of the above
provision shall be void and ineffective.

11.  OPTION TO OFFER EMPLOYMENT TO AND TO EMPLOY THE LRS ENGINEERING AND
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
     DEVELOPMENT GROUP AND TO A EXERCISE A STRATEGIC MARKETING AGREEMENT
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, LRS hereby grants
to Dialogic the option ("Option") to (i) terminate the SOW under which LRS
assigns to Dialogic on a full-time basis the current and future members of the
Lightning Rod Software's engineering group (which will include at least the
current members of the LRS engineering group listed in Exhibit A attached
hereto, or their replacements) to provide certain development

                                       3
<PAGE>

activities and services for Dialogic with respect to the Licensed Software
("Engineering Service SOW"); (ii) interview and offer employment to and/or
employ such members; and (iii) enforce the provisions of a superceding Strategic
Marketing Agreement which shall be negotiated within thirty (30) days following
the full execution of this Agreement by both Parties ("Strategic Marketing
Agreement"). The Option will be exercised, if at all, by written notice from
Dialogic to LRS on or before August 1, 2001, delivered together with a copy,
executed by Dialogic, of the Strategic Marketing Agreement.

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11(A), Dialogic
will have no obligation to interview and/or offer employment to any such members
and shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, which such members, if
any, to interview and/or offer employment to and/or employ. If and when a LRS
member accepts an offer of employment with Dialogic, LRS will immediately
terminate its relationship with such member including consideration related to
any benefits or compensation previously provided by LRS. LRS acknowledges and
agrees that any member of the LRS engineering group who becomes employed with
Dialogic in accordance with this Section 11 shall in no way be limited as to the
work they may perform as an employee of Dialogic as a result of their prior
employment by or relationship with LRS (e.g., any confidentiality or
non-disclosure agreement between LRS and such member or any other type of
confidentiality or non-disclosure obligation of such member to LRS shall be
deemed null and void and without further force and effect) and that as an
employee of Dialogic each such member is permitted to use for any purpose any
tangible and non-tangible information learned or acquired as a result of their
employment by or relationship with LRS and to provide such information to
Dialogic.

C. LRS will indemnify and hold harmless Dialogic for any and all liabilities and
other damages arising out of or relating to (i) any severance obligations
relating to the termination by LRS of any of the members as a result of Dialogic
employing or not employing such members in accordance with this Section 11, (ii)
any violation by LRS of its obligations arising under "COBRA", or (iii) any
benefit plans of LRS. LRS agrees that any and all liabilities for any
responsibility to provide COBRA benefits whether arising out of the members
terminated as a result of Dialogic employing or not employing such members in
accordance with this Section 11 shall be fully the responsibility and liability
of LRS, and Dialogic shall have no liability whatsoever or responsibility to
provide COBRA benefits to any of LRS's members, and, without limiting the
foregoing, LRS shall fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations
relating to such COBRA benefits and obligations.

D. Nothing herein shall be deemed either to affect or limit in any way the
management prerogatives of Dialogic with respect to the members who accept
offers of employment (including, without limitation, the right of Dialogic to
modify compensation or the right of Dialogic to terminate the employment of any
member), or to create or to grant to such members any third-party beneficiary
rights or claims or cause of action of any kind or nature against Dialogic.
Nothing herein shall prevent Dialogic from terminating any such member at any
time for cause or for any other reason as determined by Dialogic in its sole
discretion.

12.  STRATEGIC MARKETING
     -------------------
During the term of any particular SOW, Dialogic shall use reasonable efforts to
market and promote LRS's professional support services with respect to LRS's
Interaction Manager(TM) computer software programs, including working together
on marketing programs, cooperating on consulting service opportunities
(including the "Intel call center project", if applicable) and joint meetings
and efforts with CCSSD sales and marketing.

13.  MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------
A. The construction, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the law of New Jersey, except its choice-of-law rules. The terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement, including its Appendices, supersede all
prior oral or written understandings between the parties and shall constitute
the entire Agreement between them concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement and shall not be contradicted, explained, or supplemented by any
course of dealing.

B. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing,
shall make reference to this Agreement, and shall be delivered by hand, or
dispatched by prepaid air courier or by registered or certified airmail, postage
prepaid, to the address identified above. Such notices shall be deemed served
when received by addressee or, if delivery is not accomplished by reason of some
fault of the addressee, when tendered for delivery. Either Party may give
written notice of a change of address and, after notice of such change has been
received, any notice or request shall thereafter be given to such Party at such
changed address.

C. In providing the services under this Agreement, LRS will proceed with
diligence and such services will be executed in accordance with ordinarily
acceptable practices in the field to which the work pertains, as well as any
standards set forth in the particular Statement of Work.

D. Neither party will issue or release for publication any articles or
advertising or publicity matter relating to the work performed hereunder or
mentioning or implying the name of the other party or any of its affiliates or
personnel of the foregoing, unless prior written consent is granted by such
party.

E. If any paragraph, or clause thereof, of this Agreement will be held to be
invalid or unenforceable in

                                       4
<PAGE>

any jurisdiction in which this Agreement applies, then the meaning of such
paragraph or clause will be construed so as to render it enforceable to the
extent feasible; and if no feasible interpretation would save such paragraph or
clause, it shall be severed from this Agreement and the remainder will remain in
full force and effect. However, in the event such paragraph or clause is
considered an essential element of the Agreement, the Parties will promptly
negotiate a replacement thereof.

F. If either party fails, at any time, to enforce any right or remedy available
to it under this Agreement, that failure will not be construed to be a waiver
of the right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other
party.

G. THIS IS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES
PROVIDED HEREUNDER AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS, PROPOSALS OR
UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.

H. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed
will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute
one and the same agreement. Facsimile signatures on this Agreement will be
deemed original for all purposes.

If this document accurately states our agreement about your assignment, please
sign below and return it to Dialogic. When you have done so, this document will
become the complete agreement between you and Dialogic with respect to your
engagement, and will supersede any previous discussions and communication.
