Software on a Device.

        C.  "Products" means hardware, Software, documentation, accessories,

specified by HP in its quotation, invoice or other documentation.  Each Software
License has a corresponding License Fee.

        E.  "License Fee" means the fee or fees designated by HP for Use of
Software.  Different License Fees may apply to particular Software if more than
one Software License is available for that Software.

2.      LICENSES

        In return for the License Fee, HP grants Customer a non-exclusive
license to Use the Software listed in Customer's order in conformance with the
applicable Software License.  Details of the types of Software Licenses offered
are available from HP on request.  If no Software License is specified, then in
return for the applicable fee, HP grants Customer a license to Use one copy of

        If Customer is an HP Authorized Reseller, Customer may sublicense the
Software to an end-user for its Use, or (if applicable) sublicense the Software
to an HP Authorized Reseller for subsequent distribution to an end-user for its
Use.  These sublicenses must incorporate the terms of this license in a written
sublicense agreement, which will be made available to HP upon request.

3.      GENERAL LICENSE TERMS

        A.  Unless otherwise permitted by HP, Customer may only make copies or
adaptations of the Software for archival purposes or when copying or adaptation

further that the Use on the backup Device is discontinued when the original or
replacement Device becomes operable.

        B.  Customer must produce all copyright notices in or on the original
Software on all permitted copies or adaptations.  Customer may not copy the

returned to HP.  With HP's written consent, one copy of the Software may be
retained subsequent to termination for archival purposes.

        I.  In this clause on Licenses to the U.S. Government, the term
"customer" means HP's direct purchaser, any entity sublicensing the Software,
and the end-user.

        1.  If Software is licensed for use in the performance of a U.S.

area at the "Ship To" address in the country where Customer's order is placed,
unless otherwise indicated on the quotation.

B.      "Products" means hardware, Software, documentation, accessories,
supplies, parts and upgrades that are determined by HP to be available from HP
upon receipt of Customer's order.  "Custom Products" means Products modified,
designed or manufactured to meet Customer requirements.

C.      "Software" means one or more programs capable of operating on a

in a Device and not removable in normal operation ("Firmware").

D.      "Specifications" means specific technical information about HP Products
which is published in HP Product manuals and technical data sheets in effect on
the date HP ships Customer's order.

2.      WARRANTY STATEMENT

A.       Product warranty period is defined by the warranty code appearing on
quotations, as described in the "Warranty and Installation Classification Table"
below or is available upon request.

B.      Products purchased from HP outside the U.S. will receive the standard
warranty in the country of purchase.  If customer moves such products to another
country where HP has support presence, then Customer will receive the
destination country standard warranty.

C.      Products purchased from HP outside the U.S. based on the U.S. list
prices will only receive standard warranty in the U.S., except for Products with
a global warranty.  All Products purchased in the U.S. based on international
prices will include a global warranty.  A global warranty means that the Product
will include the destination country's standard warranty in any country where
the Product is moved provided that HP has Support presence in that country.

D.      Additional warranty coverage may be purchased and that warranty will be
limited to the country in which the additional coverage was purchased.  Customer
may receive a different warranty when the Product is purchased as part of a
system.  HP reserves the right to change the warranty.  Such changes will affect
only new orders.

E.      The warranty period begins on the date of deliver, or the date of
installation if installed by HP.  If customer schedules or delays installation
by HP more than 30 days after deliver, the warranty period begins on the 31st
day after delivery.

F.      HP warrants HP hardware Products against defects in materials and
workmanship.  HP further warrants that HP hardware products conform to
specifications.  These warranties do not include periodic recalibration
(recommended for some HP Products), unless specifically covered in the warranty
terms for such Products.

G.      HP warrants that Software will not fail to execute its programming
instructions due to defects in materials and workmanship when properly installed
and used on the device designated by HP.  HP further warrants that HP owned
standard Software will substantially conform to Specifications.  HP does not
warrant that Software will operate in hardware and software combinations
selected by customer, or meet requirements specified by Customer.

H.      HP does not warrant that the operation of Products will be
uninterrrupted or error free.

I.      HP warrants that each HP hardware, software, and firmware Product
delivered under this Exhibit be able to accurately process date data (including,
but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000,
including leap year calculations, when used in accordance with the Product
documentation provided by HP (including any instructions for installing patches
or upgrades), provided that all other products (e.g. hardware, software,
firmware) used in combination with such HP Products) properly exchange date data

distributed by HP.  This warranty Section 21, applies only to HP Products
shipped after July 01, 1998.  The remedies applicable to this Section 21, are

Terms and Conditions of Sales and Service with respect to matters other than
Year 2000 compliance.

J.      If HP receives notice of defects or non-conformance to hardware
Specification, or substantial non-conformance to HP owned standard Software
Specifications during the warranty period, HP will, at its option, repair (and
recalibrate only as necessitated by repairs), or replace the affected Products.
If HP is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair, replace or correct a
defect or non-conformance in a Product to a condition as warranted, customer
will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the
Product to HP.  Customer will pay expenses for return of such Products to HP.
HP will pay expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products, except
for Products returned to Customer from another country.

K.      HP warrants that HP Support will be provided in a professional and
workmanlike manner.  HP will replace, at no charge, parts which are defective
and returned to HP within 90 days of delivery.

L.      Some newly manufactured HP Products may contain and warranty service may
use remanufactured parts, which are equivalent to new in performance.

M.      The above warranties do not apply to defects resulting from improper or
inadequate maintenance or calibration by Customer; customer or third party
supplied software, interfacing or supplies; unauthorized modification; improper
use or operation outside of the Specifications for the Product;
abuse, negligence, accident, loss or damage in transit; improper site
preparation; or unauthorized maintenance or repair.

N.      THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

3.      PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

designated by HP, sold with On Site warranty and installation coverage, will be
installed by HP at the Customer's facility at no charge. Outside HP service
travel areas, warranty and installation services will be performed at Customer's
facility only upon HP's prior agreement; Customer will pay HP's travel expenses
and other applicable expenses for such services.

B.      Products with On Site warranty will receive warranty services only at
the Initial Installation site. If Products eligible for On Site warranty and
installation services are moved from the Initial Installation site, the warranty
services will be provided only if the Customer purchases additional inspection
or installation services at the new site.

C.      Products with On-Site warranty will receive warranty services outside
the country of initial purchase if global warranty coverage applies. Service
outside the country of initial purchase is subject to the conditions regarding
HP service travel areas and Initial Installation site in Sections 3A. and B.
above.

D.      Products with global warranty coverage and return to HP warranty, and
battery-powered Products, may be returned to the closest HP authorized repair
center. All other Products with return to HP warranty must be returned to an HP
authorized repair center within the country of original purchase. Customer will
pay expenses for return of such Products to HP. HP will pay expenses for
shipment of repaired or replacement Products, except for Products returned to
Customer from another country.

4.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES

limited to:

        1)  damages for bodily injury;

        2)  direct damages to tangible property up to a limit of U.S. one

            costs or lost profits).

C.      THE REMEDIES IN THIS EXHIBIT AND HP's TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND
SERVICE ARE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.

interfaces receive the same services as the systems to which they are connected
when:

            and are included in the system configuration; or,

        2)  the Products are purchased as add-ons to an existing system covered

                    HP CONFIGURATION TOOLS LICENSE ADDENDUM

1.  PARTIES AND PRECEDENCE

        This Addendum covers Channel Partner's use of certain electronic
configuration tools which consist of HP and third party Software.  For purposes
of this Addendum, "Channel Partner" means any direct reseller, indirect reseller
or independent Software Vendor ("ISV") of HP Solutions Products pursuant to a
written Agreement or Certification.  This Addendum is incorporated by reference
into such Agreement or Certification, the terms and conditions of which will
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that in the event of a
conflict with any of the provisions of this Addendum, this Addendum will take
precedence.

2.  LICENSE GRANT

        A.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Addendum and
in Channel Partner"s HP Agreement or Certification, HP grants to Channel Partner
an internal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use one copy
of the following Software plus any other Software designated by HP and agreed
upon by Channel Partner in object code format and including any associated
documentation (collectively, the "Configuration Tools"), per each individual
user identified by Channel Partner and approved by HP.  For purposes of this
Addendum, "User" means an individual employee or contractor of Channel Partner,
as evidenced by a unique user identifier for such individual.

        HP Knowledge Base
        SalesBUILDER for Windows
        QuoteBUILDER for Windows
        RAM Doubler

        B.  Notwithstanding the foregoing transfer restriction, Channel Partner
may transfer copies of the Configuration Tools, including the associated
licenses and documentation, between similarly situated Users, subject to
Section 3 below and any related policies or guidelines issued by HP.

3.  RESTRICTIONS AND CHANNEL PARTNER RESPONSIBILITIES

        A.  Channel Partner will use the Configuration Tools solely for the
purposes of selling, configuring, quoting prices for, ordering, distributing
and/or supporting HP Products and Channel Partner products.

        B.  Channel Partners will be responsible for the payment of all
registration fees, periodic fees, and any connect time charges associated with
the delivery of the Configuration Tools by HP or its designee via electronic
communications services or other means.

C.      Channel Partner must have a valid HP Purchase Agreement for resellers,
ISV Agreement or Certification, with no compliance violations, in order to be
eligible to use the Configuration Tools.

D.      Channel Partner will be responsible for controlling the number of its
users of the Configuration Tools, and will notify HP or its designee promptly of
any internal transfers of the Configuration Tools, including the associated
licenses and documentation.

E.      Channel Partner acknowledges HP's right to change Product information as
reflected in the HP Product Knowledge Base without prior notice to Channel

4.  SUPPORT

        HP will provide direct reselling and ISV Channel Partners with telephone

pursuant to this Addendum regarding support.  HP has no support obligations
regarding any other software licensed pursuant to this license.  The Channel
Partners may contact directly the manufacturers of other software licensed.

5.  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

        Any information disclosed by HP to Channel Partner in connection with
Channel Partner's use of the Configuration Tools which is labeled confidential
or proprietary will be protected by Channel Partner from unauthorized disclosure
to third parties with the same degree of care as Channel Partner uses for its
own similar information for a period of three (3) years from the date of
disclosure.  This restriction will not apply to any information which is
(i) already known by Channel Partner prior to disclosure, (ii) independently
developed by Channel Partner prior to or independent of the disclosure,
(iii) publicly available, (iv) rightfully received from a third party without a
duty of confidentiality, or (v) disclosed by Channel Partner with HP's prior
written approval.

6.  OWN RISK

        HP IS PROVIDING THESE CONFIGURATION TOOLS ON AN "AS IS" BASIS.  CHANNEL
PARTNER'S USE OF THE CONFIGURATION TOOLS IS AT CHANNEL PARTNER'S OWN RISK, HP,
ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, SUBCONTRACTORS AND THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE SUPPLIERS
DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES FOR AND MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFIGURATION TOOLS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7.  TERM AND TERMINATION

        This Addendum will be effective upon execution by both parties, and will
continue in effect so long as Channel Partner's HP Agreement or Certification is
in effect; provided, however, that HP may terminate Channel Partner's license
immediately upon notice for cause, and that HP may, in HP's sole discretion,
terminate Channel Partner's license upon thirty (30) days notice without cause.
Upon any such termination, Channel Partner will immediately destroy the
Configuration Tools, together with all copies in any form.

Table" below or is available upon request.

        B.  Products purchased from HP outside the U.S. will receive the

or non-conformance in a Product to a condition as warranted, Customer will be
entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the Product to

workmanlike manner.  HP will replace, at no charge, parts which are defective

7.      INSTALLATION SERVICES

        A.  SITE PREPARATION

        When this service is included in the purchase price of a product, a
representative of HP will contact the customer upon receipt of customer's
purchase order to discuss site preparation requirements.  This may be
accomplished either during an on site visit or by telephone, and will encompass
technical site planning, preparation and installation requirements relevant to
Customer's system.  Customer will also receive documentation or information
characterizing the physical, electrical and environmental requirements
applicable to Customer's system, as well as any other requirements obtained in
the appropriate HP "Site Preparation Manual" (when available) for the system.

        B.  SITE SURVEY

        All installation sites must be approved by HP. Prior to the scheduled
delivery of Customer's system, an HP representative will verify that the site
has been prepared in conformance with the applicable "Site Preparation Manual"
(when available) and meets all electrical and environmental requirements
contained in that manual. This verification may occur either on site or by
telephone.

        C.  PURCHASE OF INSTALLATION SERVICES

        Standard installation services are included in the price of some system
 products. These services may also be obtained from HP for products or systems
 which do not include these services in the purchase price of the product for
 additional cost which will be specially quoted.

        D  INSTALLATION OF SYSTEMS AND SELECTED COMPONENTS

        When installation is included in the purchase price of a product:

        1) HP will install Customer's system(s) at a mutually agreed time
following notification by Customer that all Products of the coordinated shipment
have been delivered to the site and that the site conforms to HP's requirements.
Installations will be performed during HP's normal business hours. Installations
performed outside of business hours at Customer's request may be subject to
additional charges.

        2)  HP systems, including all accessories, interfaces, peripherals and
terminals ordered with a system on a coordinated delivery and included in HP's
configuration guide and located at the system site, will be installed by HP at
no additional charge.

        E.  SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

        Standard software installation services consist of loading the operating
system and utilities included in the operating system software on the system and
executing applicable verification tests.  Software that is Customer installable
will be noted in the applicable data sheet.

        F.  INSTALLATION RESPONSIBILITIES

        During system installation, HP will perform the following tasks:

        1.  Supervise uncrating, positioning and racking of the Products;

        2.  Inventory the shipment against the packing list(s);

        3.  Physically interconnect the Products;

        4.  Check the primary power line voltage;

        5.  Connect line power to Products shipped with power cable and
            connector, (1)

        6.  Install operating system and utilities;

        7.  Execute turn-on procedures;

        8.  Perform electronic and mechanical adjustments;

        9.  Perform any repairs which may be required to make the Products
            operational; (2)

        10. Execute standard HP diagnostic or verification program and tests;

        11. Instruct operator on daily care and proper use of Products.

        During system installation, Customer will perform the following tasks:

        1.  Receive, uncrate, rack or move the Products and dispose of the
            packaging materials;

        2.  Rerack or relocate the Products;

        3.  Reconfigure or regenerate Software systems;

        4.  Connect line power to Products delivered without power cable and
            connector;(1)

        5.  May install products not supplied by HP;

        6.  Fabricate or pull cables;

        7.  Ensure that site, cable runs and power outlets conform to all local
            fire and electrical codes;

        8.  Attach wall and ceiling mounts to building structure;

        9.  Reconfigure hardware systems, including recabling or relocation of
            existing products.

        All of the above Customer tasks, except 4 and 8, may be performed by HP
        for an additional charge and are subject to availability of resources.

NOTES:

1)  Due to variations in local electrical codes, many Products are shipped
    without power cables and connectors. These Products must be connected to
    power by Customer's electrical contractor who is familiar with local
    regulations.

2)  Repairs made on Products covered by HP warranty will be accomplished at no
    additional charge. Shipment damage related to a Customer initiated
    relocation or shipment is not covered under warranty. For Products or damage
    not covered by HP warranty, repairs will be made at Customer's expense.

1.      WARRANTY

        A.  WARRANTY STATEMENTS

             1. HARDWARE. HP warrants hardware Products against defects in
     materials and workmanship. HP further warrants that HP products conform to
     Specifications effect on the date HP ships the Product.

             2. DESIGNATED SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE. HP warrants Software and
     Firmware Products which are designated by HP for use with a hardware
     Product and are properly installed on that hardware Product, against
     failures to execute their programming instructions due to defects in
     materials and workmanship.

             3. HP OWNED STANDARD SOFTWARE. HP warrants that HP owned standard
     Software will substantially conform to Specifications. HP does not warrant
     that Software will operate in hardware and software combinations selected
     by Direct Reseller and/or Customers, or meet requirements specified by
     Direct Resellers and/or Customers, or that the operation of Products will
     be uninterrupted or error free.

             4. YEAR 2000. HP warrants that each HP hardware, Software and
     firmware Product shipped by HP will be able to accurately process date data
     (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing)
     from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the
     years 1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in
     accordance with the Product documentation provided by HP (including any
     instructions for installing patches or upgrades), provided that all other
     products (e.g. hardware, software, firmware) used in combination with such
     HP product(s) properly exchange date data with it. If the Specifications
     require that specific HP Products must perform as a system in accordance
     with the foregoing warranty, then that warranty will apply to those HP
     Products as a system, and warranty recipients retain sole responsibility to
     ensure the Year 2000 readiness of their information technology and business
     environments.

             5. OTHER WARRANTIES. HP may provide Product specific warranties,
     either with such Products or via the following HP web site: http://
     partner.americas.hp.com/. HP revisions to such warranties will be the
     date specified by HP. These warranties will take precedence over any
     conflicting terms contained in this Section 1.

        B. WARRANTY PERIODS AND PASS THROUGH PROCESSES

             1. WARRANTY PERIODS. Product warranty period and additional
     information is available with Products, on quotations, or upon request. If
     Direct Reseller does not pass through its HP warranties, the warranty
     period begins on the date of delivery, or the date of installation if
     installed by HP. If Customer schedules or delays installation by HP more
     than thirty (30) days after delivery, the warranty period begins on the
     thirty-first (31st) day after delivery.

             2. PASS THROUGH PROCESSES. Except as expressly provided in this
     Agreement, Direct Reseller may pass through the warranties provided under
     the Agreement to their end-user customers, so long as such warranty terms
     and conditions obligate HP to no greater than the following:

                  a. Warranty coverage for defective Products no greater than
          that provided in this Warranty Section and any associated Product
          Exhibit or Product Category.

                  b. Warranty exclusions and disclaimers no less than those set
          forth in this Warranty Section and any associated Product Exhibit.

                  c. A duration of warranty expiring no later than the date of
          expiration of HP's warranty as provided under this Agreement; and

                  d. Limitations of remedies and liability no less than those
          provided in the limitation of Remedies and Liability Section of this
          Agreement.

                  Direct Reseller must provide a copy of the currently effective
                  HP warranty to its end-user Customer prior to the downstream
                  sale. A copy of the current version of HP's Warranty and
                  Installation Information (also known as "E-26") is attached as
                  an addendum to this Agreement and may be provided by Direct
                  Reseller to its end-user Customer, provided that Direct
                  Reseller is responsible for ensuring that it provides the
                  current version of E-26. In addition, Direct Reseller may
                  provide more extensive warranty coverage to its end-user
                  customers, so long as HP has no responsibility for fulfilling
                  the associated obligations.

          3. PASS THROUGH WARRANTY PERIOD. Where Direct Reseller uses the pass
     through processes described above, products ordered by Direct Reseller and
     temporarily retained in inventory are warranted beginning with the shipment
     date from HP and ending with shipment to the end-user Customer, for a
     period not to exceed one hundred (180) days from date of original purchase
     from HP by Direct Reseller. "User-Warranties" apply only to end-user
     purchasers of Products. End-user Customer warranties begin upon purchase by
     the end-user Customer and must be verified by proof of acquisition by such
     Customer.

          4. YEAR 2000 WARRANTY PERIOD. The duration of the Year 2000 warranty
     set forth in subsection 1.A.4 above extends through January 31, 2001.

        C. REMEDIES

        If HP receives notice of defects or non-conformance to the warranties
provided in this Agreement during the applicable warranty period, HP will, at
its option, repair, or replace the affected products. If HP is unable, within a
reasonable time, to repair, replace or correct a defect or non-conformance in a
Product to a condition as warranted, Customer will be entitled to a refund of
the purchase price upon prompt return of such Products to HP. HP will pay
expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products.

        D. WARRANTY EXCEPTIONS

        1.  HP does not warrant that the operation of Products will be
uninterrupted or error free.

        2.  The warranties provided in subsections 1.A through 1.B above do not
include periodic recalibration, recommended for some Products, unless
specifically covered in the warranty terms for such Products.

        3.  Some newly manufactured Products may contain, and in supporting such
Products HP may use, remanufactured parts which are equivalent to new in
performance.

        4.  The Year 2000 warranty provided in subsection 1.A.4 above applies
only to branded HP Products and not to products manufactured by others that may
be sold or distributed by HP.

        E. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS

        The warranties provided in subsections 1.A. through 1.H. above will not
apply to damages resulting from abuse, misuse, negligence, accident, loss or
damage in transit, or other Product warranty exclusion, or from attempted repair
by an unauthorized technician. Direct Reseller will reimburse HP for all freight
expenses for any of the foregoing Products returned to HP, or for any returned
Products determined by HP to be free from defect. Such HP Products may be
shipped back to Direct Reseller, and Direct Reseller will be responsible for
associated freight charges. Title to the Products and risk of loss will pass to
Direct Reseller at HP's shipping point (Free On Board at Origin; "F.O.B.
Origin").

        F. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS

        THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE, AND NO OTHER WARRANTY,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

2.      SUPPORT

        A. Direct Reseller may order Support from HP's then current Support
offering, which is set forth in the attached U.S. Solutions Support Options
Addendum. Orders for Support are subject to the terms of this Agreement,
including the Support Exhibit or quotation in effect on the date of order.
Direct Reseller is responsible for obtaining the agreement of its end-user
Customer with respect to any Support obligations under this Agreement that
pertain to such Customer.

        B. To be eligible for Support, Products must be at current specified
revision levels and, in HP's reasonable opinion, in good operating condition.

        C. HP may, at no additional charge, modify Products to improve
operation, supportability and reliability, or to meet legal requirements.

        D. Relocation of Products is the end-user Customer's responsibility.
Relocation may result in additional Support charges and modified service
response times. Support of Products moved to another country is subject to
availability.

        E. HP will provide Support for products not supplied by HP when approved
by HP in writing. HP will provide Support for HP Products when the end-user
Customer allows HP to perform modifications if requested by HP under Section
2.C. above. Such Customer is responsible for removing any products not eligible
for Support to allow HP to perform Support services. If Support services are
made more difficult because of such product(s), HP will charge such Customer for
the extra work at HP's standard rates.

        F. Support does not cover any damage or failure caused by:

             1. Use of non-HP media, supplies and other products; or

             2. Site conditions that do not confirm to HP's site specifications;
        or

             3. Neglect, improper use, fire or water damage, electrical
        disturbances, transportation by Direct Reseller or its end-user
        Customer, work or modification by people other than HP employees or
        subcontractors, or other causes beyond HP's control; or

             4. Inability of any non-HP products in the end-user Customer's
        environment to correctly process, provide or receive date data (i.e.,
        representations for month, day, and year), and to properly exchange date
        data with the Products supplied by HP.

        G. The end-user Customer is responsible for maintaining a procedure
external to the Products to reconstruct lost or altered Customer files, data or
programs. Such Customer will have a representative present when HP provides
Support services at Customer's site. Customer will notify HP if Products are
being used in an environment which poses a potential health hazard to HP
employees or subcontractors; HP may require Customer to maintain such Products
under HP supervision.

        H. The end-user Customer may delete Products under Support or cancel
Support orders upon thirty (30) days written notice. Upon sixty (60) days
written notice, HP may cancel Support orders or delete Products no longer
included in HP's Support offering.

3.      SOFTWARE LICENSING

        A. Unless prior written consent is obtained from HP, Direct Reseller
will not copy or modify any materials supplied under this Agreement, except that
Software may be copied for archival purposes, to replace a defective copy, or
for program error verification. Direct Reseller will not remove, omit, or alter
any label or copyright notice on or in these materials.

        B. Direct Reseller is granted the right to distribute Software and
related materials supplied by HP in accordance with the HP Software License
Terms in effect on the date of shipment by HP. The current version of the HP
Software License Terms are attached as an addendum to this Agreement. Direct
Reseller may also use the materials for demonstration purposes in accordance
with those license terms.

        user must sign the agreement or indicate acceptance by opening the media
        package in order to obtain a license to use it. Use of the Software will
        be subject to the terms of the agreement.

             2. Where the Software is designated as confidential or a trade
        secret in its license terms, Direct Reseller will safeguard the Software
        in accordance with industry standards and applicable law, using the same
        degree of care to prevent unauthorized disclosure as they use with their
        own trade secrets and those of other suppliers.

        C. Direct Reseller is granted a license to use certain electronic
configuration tools, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in the attached HP Configuration Tools License and HP Software License
Terms.

4.      RETURNS

        A. INTRODUCTION

             1. The procedures provided in this Agreement for return and repair,

                               DIRECT RESELLERS<PAGE>

                        IBM BUSINESS PARTNER AGREEMENT/
                            IBM SOLUTIONS PROVIDER
                                   AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

IBM Business Partner Agreement for Solution Providers

1.    Marketing Approval

      As our IBM Business Partner-Solution Provider, we approve you under the
terms of this Agreement to market to End Users Products and Services specified
in this Agreement.  As our Remarketer, you acquire such Products and Services
from an IBM Distributor.  When approved as a Solution Provider under a
remarketer relationship, you may also be approved under a complementary
marketing relationship.  If we approve you to market the same Product and
Service under both remarketer and complementary marketing terms, all
transactions or business segment by providing your IBM Distributor a signed IBM
Business Partner Statement of Election.  If you meet the requirements of the
Marketing Approval section of the Complementary Marketing Terms Attachment for
Solution Providers, you may participate under those terms.

2.     Definitions

        End User is anyone, who is not part of the Enterprise of which you are
a part, who uses Services or acquires Products for its own and not for resale.

        Enterprise is any legal entity and the subsidiaries it owns by more than
50%.

        Machine is machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements,
accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" includes an IBM
Machine and any non-IBM Machine (including other equipment) that we approve you
to market.

        Product is a Machine or Program.

        Program is an IBM Program or non-IBM Program provided under its
applicable license terms, that we approve you to market.

        Service is the performance of a task, provision of advice and counsel,
assistance, or access to a resource that we approve you to market.

3.     Value Added Enhancement

       For Products we specify to your IBM Distributor, you are required to have
a solution which is a value added enhancement that we approve and specify and
which significantly adds to the Product's function and capability.  You agree to
market Products and Services only with your approved value added enhancement as
part of an integrated solution for End Users.  Certain Products we specify do
not require a value added enhancement.

        In the event we withdraw approval of your value added enhancement, we
also withdraw your approval as an IBM Business Partner for that value added
enhancement.

        We may, at any time, modify the criteria for approval of your value
added enhancement. You are responsible to modify your value added enhancement to
meet these criteria.

        You agree to market Products,including processor upgrades requiring a
processor serial number change, only to End Users for whom your value added
enhancement is their primary reason for acquiring th e Products. A sale to an
End User without a value added enhancement, when required, is a material breach
of the Agreement.

        However, your value added enhancement is not required to be the End
Users primary reason for acquiring upgrades to systems you previously installed
with your enhancement and where your enhancement is still in productive use.
Upgrades include processor upgrades (non-serial number change), peripherals and
programs.

        Unless we specify otherwise in writing, you may market upgrades only to
those End Users where you have installed your value added enhancement, and who
intend on-going use of that value added enhancement.

4.     Our Relationship

       Each of us agrees that:

       1.  each of us is responsible for our own expenses regarding fulfillment
of our responsibilities and obligations under the terms of this Agreement;

       2.  neither of us will assume or create any obligations on behalf of the
other or make any representations or warranties about the other, other than
those authorized;

       3.  neither of us will bring a legal action against the other more than
two years after the cause of action arose unless otherwise provided by local law
without the possibility of contractual waiver;

       4.  failure by either of us to insist on strict performance or to
exercise a right when entitled does not prevent either of us from doing so at a
later time, either in relation to that default or any subsequent one; and

                                  Page 1 of 7
<PAGE>

        5.  IBM may change the terms of this Agreement on one month's written
notice.   Otherwise, for any other change to be valid, both of us must agree
in writing.  Changes are not retroactive.  Additional or different terms in a
communication from you are void;and

        6.  IBM reserves the right to assign, in whole or in part, this
Agreement to any other IBM related company.

5.  Your Responsibilities To IBM

        You agree:

        1.  to develop a mutually acceptable business plan with us or your IBM
Distributor, as we specify, if we require one.  Such plan will document your
marketing plans as they apply to our relationship.  IBM or your IBM Distributor
will review the plan, at a minimum, once a year;

        2.  that, unless precluded by applicable law, if we specify a minimum
annual attainment, one of the requirements for you to retain this relationship
is that you achieve such attainment;

        3.  to provide us, or our representative with access to your facilities
in order for us to fulfill our obligations and to review your compliance with
the Agreement;

        4.  if you acquire Products you are approved to market from your
Distributor for demonstration, development, and evaluation purposes, to use such
Products primarily in support of your Product marketing activities and to retain
such Products for twelve months from the Date of Installation of the Products,
unless specified otherwise for specific Products by your Distributor.  If you
acquire Products you are approved to market from your Distributor for internal
use, to use such Products only within your Business Partner operations.  Any
value added enhancement or system integration services otherwise required by
your relationship is not applicable when you acquire products for internal use.
You must retain such Products for a minimum of twelve months unless otherwise
specified by your Distributor;

        5.  to comply with all terms regarding Program upgrades;

        6.  your rights under this Agreement are not property rights and,
therefore, you can not transfer them to anyone else or encumber them in any way;

        7.  to maintain the criteria we specified when we approved you;

        8.  for a Program requiring the End User's signature on the Program's
license agreement, to obtain the signature before providing the Program to End
User, and return any required documentation to your IBM Distributor (all other
Programs are licensed under the terms of  the agreement provided with them);

        9.  to retain records of eac Product and Service transaction (for
example, a sale, a credit or a warranty claim) for three years and provide us
relevant records on request.  We may reproduce and retain copies of these
records;

your IBM Distributor, as we require your Distributor to provide to us;

        11.  to report to us any suspected Product defects or safety problems,
and to assist us in tracing and locating Products;

        12.  that the products and deliverables you market in conjunction with
IBM Products and Services are Year 2000 Ready.  A product (for example, a
machine or program) or a deliverable is Year 2000 Ready if the product of
deliverable, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is
capable of correctly processing, providing and/or receiving date data within and
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products
used with the product or deliverable properly exchange accurate date data with
it;

        13.  if during our review of your compliance with your Business Partner
Agreement with us, we find that you have materially breached the terms of this
Agreement, then in addition to IBM's remedies under the terms of this Agreement,
you may be subject to restitution of discount or other financial penalties under
the terms of your agreement with your IBM Distributor; and

        14.  to comply with the highest ethical principles in performing under
the Agreement.  You will not offer or make payments or gifts (monetary or
otherwise) to anyone for the purpose of wrongfully influencing decisions in
favor of IBM, directly or indirectly. IBM may terminate this Agreement
immediately in case of a) a breach of  this clause or b)when IBM reasonably
believes such a breach has occurred.

       6.  Your Responsibilities To End Users

        You agree to:

        1.  be responsible for customer satisfaction and to participate in
customer satisfaction programs as we determine;

        2.  refund the amount paid for a Product returned to you because the End
User returned it to you under the terms of its warranty or did not accept the
terms of the licence or a money-back guarantee we offer End Users.  You may
return such Products to the IBM Distributor from whom you acquired them, for
credit;

        3. develop a plan agreed to by the End User, for installation and post
installation support for the offering you market. For Products and Services we
approve you to market, support includes your being the primary contact for
Product information, technical advice and operational advice associated with the
offering. You may delegate these support responsibilities for Products and
Services, and any other associated products, to another IBM Business Partner who
is approved to market such Products. If you do, you retain customer satisfaction
responsibilities. Alternatively, such support responsibilities will be provided
by IBM if you market the applicable IBM Services to the End User. If you do, we
assume customer satisfaction responsibilities for such support;

        4.  provide a dated written record, such as a sales receipt or
an invoice, which specifies the End User's name, the part number or Machine
type/model, and serial number if applicable;

                                  Page 2 of 7

<PAGE>

        5. inform your End User , in writing, who the warranty provider is, if
other than yourself, and of any other applicable Warranty information, as well
as any modification you or the IBM Distributor make to a Product and advise that
such modification may void the warranty;

        6.  inform your End User that the sales receipt (or other documentation
we may specify, such as Proof of Entitlement if it is required) will be
necessary for proof of warranty entitlement and for Program upgrades;

        7.  provide to your End Users the Program Services the IBM Distributor
provides to you; and

        8.  assist the End User to achieve productive use of your solution and
the Products and Services you marketed.

       7.  Status Change

        You agree to give us prompt written notice (unless precluded by law or
regulation) of any substantive change of anticipated change to the information

immediately terminate this Agreement.

       8.  Marketing Funds and Promotional Offerings

        We may provide marketing funds and promotional offerings. If we do, you
agree to use them according to our guidelines and to maintain records of your
activities regarding the use of such funds and offerings for three years. We may
withdraw or recover marketing funds and promotional offerings from you if you
breach any terms of the Agreement. Upon notification of termination of the
Agreement, marketing funds and promotional offerings will no longer be available
for use by you, unless we specify otherwise in writing.

       9.  Production Status

        Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts.
In some cases, the IBM Machine may not be new and may have been previously
installed.  Regardless of the IBM Machine's production status, our appropriate
warranty terms apply.  You agree to inform you End User of these terms, in
writing.  Warranty information is available from your IBM Distributor.

      10.  IBM Warranty Service

        The following are the conditions under which you may market Services,
which your Distributor makes available to you:

        1.  if you marketed a Product to the End User; or

        2.  regardless of whether you marketed a Product to the End User, you
may market the Services we specify in this Agreement.

        You  may market Services on eligible non-IBM Products regardless of
whether you marketed a Machine or Program to the End User.

        Marketing of Service for a Fee

        If you market an IBM Service which is eligible for a fee and which your
IBM Distributor makes available to you, we will pay the fee to your IBM
Distributor.  Alternatively, if such IBM Service is not available from your IBM
Distributor, but is available to you from us, we will pay the fee to you.

        In either case we pay the fee when 1) you identify the opportunity and
perform the marketing activities, 2) you provide the order and any required
documents signed by the End User, and 3) a standard Statement of Work is used
and there are no changes, and no marketing assistance from us is required.

        Additionally, for Services we specify, and which are not available from
your IBM Distributor, we will pay you a fee when you provide us a lead and the
following criteria are met: 1) it is submitted on the form we provide to you,
2) it is for an opportunity which is not known to us, and 3) it results in the
End User ordering the Service from us within six months from the date we
receive the lead from you.

        We will not pay you the fee if 1) the machine or program is already
under the applicable Service, 2) we have an agreement with the End User to place
the machine or program under the applicable Service, or 3) the Service was
terminated by the End User within the last six months.

        Remarketing of Services

        We provide terms in an applicable Attachment governing your remarketing
of Services the End User purchases from you and which we perform under the terms
of the IBM Service agreement signed by the End User.

        Shrink-wrap Services are performed under the terms of the agreement
provided with them.  If the terms of the agreement are not visible on the
shrink-wrap package, you agree to provide (or, if applicable, request your
Remarketer to provide) the Services terms to the End User before such Services
are acquired by the End User.

                                  Page 3 of 7
<PAGE>

        12.  Marketing of Financing

        We may approve you in this Agreement, to market our Financing Services
for Products and Services and any associated products and services you market to
the End User.  If you market our Financing Services, we will pay a fee if
specified in the Business Partner Financing Fee Schedule.

        We provide Financing Services to End Users under the terms of our
applicable agreements signed by the End User.  You agree, that for the items
that will be financed, 1) you will promptly provide us, or your Distributor, as
we specify, any required document including invoices, with serial numbers if
applicable, 2)the supplier will transfer clear title to us, and 3) you will not
transfer to us any obligations under your agreements with the End User.

        We will make payment for the items to be financed when the End User has
initiated financing and acknowledged acceptance of the items being financed.
Payment will be made to you, your Distributor, or the supplier, as appropriate.

        13.  Export

        You may actively market Products and Services only within the geographic
scope specified in this Agreement. You may not market outside this scope, and
you agree not to use anyone else to do so. If a customer acquires a Product for
export, our responsibilities, if any, under this Agreement no longer apply to
that Product unless the Product's warranty or license terms state otherwise. You
agree to use your best efforts to ensure that your customer complies with all
export laws and regulations including those of the United States and the country
specified in the Governing Law Section of this Agreement, and agree to provide
us with the customer's name and address, Machine type/model, and serial number
if applicable, date of sale, and destination country. We exclude these Products
from any of your attainment objectives and qualification for applicable
promotional offerings and marketing funds.

        14.  Licensed Internal Code

        Machine ("Specific Machines") containing Licensed Internal Code will be
identified to you by the IBM Distributor.  We grant the rightful possessor of a
Specific Machine  a license to use the code (or any replacement we provide) on,
or in conjunction with, only the Specific Machine, designated by serial number,
for which the code is provided.  We license the code to only one rightful
possessor at a time.  You agree that you are bound by the terms of the separate
license agreement that is provided to you.

        Your Responsibilities

        You agree to inform your customer and record on the sales receipt, that
the Machine you provide is a Specific Machine. The license agreement must be
provided to the customer before the sale is finalized.

        15.  Machine Code

        For certain Machines we may provide basic input/output system code,
utilities, diagnostics, device drivers, or microcode (collectively called
"Machine Code").  This Machine Code is licensed under the terms of the ageement
provided with it.  You agree to ensure the End User is provided such agreement.

        16.  Trademarks

        We will notify you in written guidelines of the IBM Business Partner
title and emblem which you are authorized to use.  You may not modify the emblem
in any way.  You may use our Trademarks (which include the title, emblem, IBM
Trademarks and service marks) only:

        1.  within the geographic scope of this Agreement;

        2.  in association with Products and Services we approve you to market;
and
        3.  as described in the written guidelines provided to you.

        The royalty normally associated with non-exclusive use of the Trademarks
will be waived, since the use of this asset is in conjunction with marketing
activities supporting sales of Products and Services.

        You agree to promptly modify any advertising or promotional materials
that do not comply with our guidelines.  If you receive any complaints about
your use of a Trademark, you agree to promptly notify us.  When this Agreement
ends, you agree to promptly stop using our Trademarks.  If you do not, you agree
to pay any expenses and fees we incur in getting you to stop.

        You agree not to register or use any mark that is confusingly similar
to any of our Trademarks.

        Our Trademarks, and any goodwill resulting from your use of them, belong
to us.

        17.  Liability

        Circumstances may arise where, because of a default or other liability,
one of us is entitled to recover damages from the other.  In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which damages can be claimed, the following terms
apply as your exclusive remedy and our exclusive liability.

        We are responsible for the amount of any loss or damage, up to the
greater of $100,000 or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for
the Product that is the subject of the claim.

                                  Page 4 of 7
<PAGE>

        Under no circumstances (except as required by law) are we liable for
third-party claims against you for damages, or for special, incidental, or
indirect charges, or for any economic consequential damages (including lost
profits or savings) even if we are informed of their possibility.

        In addition to damages for which you are liable under law and the terms
of this Agreement, you will indemnify us for claims made against us by others
(particularly regarding statements, representations or warranties not authorized
by us) arising out of your conduct under this Agreement or as a result of your
relations with anyone else.

        18.  Electronic Communications

        Each of us may communicate with the other by electronic means, and such
communication is acceptable as a signed writing to the extent permissible under
applicable law.  Both of us agree that for all electronic communications, an
identification code (called a "user ID") contained in an electronic document is
sufficient to  verify the sender's identity and the document's authenticity.

        19.  Confidential Information

        This section comprises a Supplement to the IBM Agreement for Exchange of
Confidential Information (AECI).  "Confidential Information" means:

                a.  sales leads,

                b.  information regarding End Users,

                c.  unannounced information about Products and Services,

                d.  business plans or,

                e.  market intelligence, and

        3.  any of the following written information you provide to us on our
request and which you mark as confidential

                a.  reporting data,

                b.  financial data, or

                c.  the business plan.

        All other information exchanged between us is nonconfidential, unless
disclosed under a separate Supplement to the IBM Agreement for Exchange of
Confidential Information.

        20.  Ending the Agreement

        Regardless of the contract duration specified in the "Details of Our
Relationship" Section, or any renewal period in effect, either of us may
terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, on three months' written
notice. If, under applicable law, a longer period is mandatory, then the notice
period is the minimum notice period allowable.

        If we terminate for cause we may, at our discretion, allow you a
reasonable opportunity to cure.  If you fail to do so, the date of termination
is that specified in the notice.

        However, if either party breaches a material term of the Agreement, the
other party may terminate the Agreement on written notice. Examples of such
breach by you are if you do not maintain customer satisfaction; if you repudiate
this Agreement; or if you make any material misrepresentations to us. You agree
that our only obligation is to provide the notice called for in this section and
we are not liable for any claims or losses if we do so.

        If the relationship between you and your named IBM Distributor ends, or
the relationship between IBM and that Distributor ends, and you reapply with a
new IBM Distributor to continue as our Business Partner, you must notify us
within two months of the name of your new IBM Distributor.  We will review your
application to acquire Products from this IBM Distributor and advise the new IBM
Distributor when the application is approved.

        You agree that if we permit you to perform certain activities after this
Agreement ends, you will do so under the terms of this Agreement.

        21.  Geographic Scope

        All the rights and obligations of both of us are valid only in the
United States and Puerto Rico.

        22.  Governing Law

        The laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws
principles, govern this Agreement.

        The "United Nations Convention on th International Sale of Goods" does
not apply.

        IBM Business Partner Agreement

        Attachment for Services Marketing

        for Solution Provider or Reseller

        The following terms govern your marketing of Services you acquire from
your IBM Distributor and which the End User purchases from you and which we
perform under the terms of the IBM Agreement for Services Acquired from an IBM
Business Partner (IBM Service Agreement).  We provide additional terms to you,if
any, in specific Service Attachments, or transaction documents.

        1.  IBM Services

        Services may be either standard offerings or customized to the End
User's specific requirements.  Each Service transaction may include one or more
Services that:

        1.  expire at task completion or an agreed date;

        2.  automatically renew as another transaction with a specified contract
period.  Renewals will continue until the service is terminated; or

        3.  do not expire and are available for use until either of us
terminates the Service, or we withdraw the Service.

        If we make a change to the terms of a renewable Service that affects the
End Users current Service Agreement contract period and the End User considers
it unfavorable and you advise your Distributor, who is responsible to advise us
in writing, we will defer the change until the end of the contract period.

        2.  Service Charges

        Prepaid Services must be used within the applicable contract period.  If
we withdraw a Service which has been prepaid,and we have not fully provided such
Service, we will give a prorated refund to your Distributor.  Otherwise, we do
not give credits or refunds for unused prepaid Services.

        If an End User is eligible for a credit under the terms of the IBM
Service Agreement (for example,a satisfaction guarantee credit, or a credit for
withdrawn Services not fulfilled), you agree to ensure the applicable credit is
issued to the End User.  Your Distributor will issue the appropriate credit to
you.

        You may market Services we make available to your Distributor on a
recurring-charge basis, only on a recurring charge basis.

        3.  Notices

        Each of us agrees to give the other a copy, through your Distributor, of
notices or requests received from or sent to an End User, applicable to the IBM
Service Agreement.

        You agree to ensure certain Service Attachments and transaction
documents, if any, are made available to End Users for their signature, if
required.  Such documents may have terms in addition to those we specify in the
IBM Service Agreement.

        4.  Services Requirements Changes

        During the Service period you may update the requirements, including
adding Products to be covered by the Service requirements.  We will adjust our
invoicing to you Distributor accordingly.  Check with your Distributor to
determine if you will incur an additional charge.

                                  Page 1 of 2
<PAGE>

        5.  Termination of Services

        If either IBM or the End User does not meet its obligations concerning a
Service, the other party may terminate the Service. We will inform your
Distributor of any such termination.

        You may terminate an expiring or renewable Service transaction. Check
with your Distributor to determine if you will incur a charge for such
termination.

      For a Service the End User terminates, you agree to ensure we are provided
one month's written notice from the End User.  For a Service you decide to
terminate, you agree to provide one month's written notice to us and the End
User.

IBM Business Partner Agreement
Federal Government Remarketer Attachment

        These terms are in addition to or modify the Remarketer Terms
Attachment, the Remarketer Terms Attachment for Workstation Software, the
Business Partner Agreement for Solution Providers and the Business Partner
Agreement for Resellers.  These terms apply only when you market Products and
Services to a Federal Government End User.

        1.  FEDERAL GOVERNMENT END USER

        "Federal Government End User" includes federal government agencies or
any other entity listed in G8A Order ADM 4800.2D, including those entities
listed in Appendices A, B and C of the Order, and any successor Order which may
be published by the GSA in the Federal Register.  The term Federal Government
End User also includes federal government cost reimbursement prime contractors
and management and operating contractors that receive proper authorization under
FAR part 51 from  federal agencies to make federal purchases or acquisitions
where licenses granted and title to equipment vest in the Federal Government End
User.

        2.  TITLE

        You may propose an integrated solution through a higher-tier federal
contractor in fulfillment of a specific government procurement where title to
the Machine passes ultimately to the federal government. In no event shall you
permit transfer of title for any Machine purchased under this Agreement to other
than federal government. Under no circumstances may you assign any of your
responsibilities under this Agreement to the Federal Government End User.

        3.  BUY AMERICAN ACT/TRADE AGREEMENTS ACT (BAA/TAA)

        We make no representation or certification regarding the domestic or
foreign origin of Products we provide.

        4.  EXPORT OF PRODUCTS

        When the federal government purchases Products and Services for its own
use outside the United States, (i.e., an embassy or military installation) they
count 1) toward your minimum annual attainment 2) toward determination of your
discount price if the Products and Services were acquired directly from IBM by
you or 3) for determining your marketing or promotional funds.  Also, your
future allocations from IBM, if applicable, will not be affected.  The warranty
for such Products will be voided unless the Product is returned to the United
States for warranty service.  Title to the Products must reside with the United
States government, and the United States government must be responsible for the
Program licenses.

        5.  ENDING THE AGREEMENT

        If we terminate the Agreement without cause, we will permit you to
continue to market under the terms of the Agreement for 90 days after the
termination date.  You agree to promptly withdraw any bids that include Products
and Services which were anticipated to have been obtained under this Attachment
unless we agree to terms and conditions under the Federal Systems Integrator
(FSI) Program (or similar or successor program) for the bid as offered.
