                    SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Software License and Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the

corporation having an office at 4305 Hacienda Drive, P.O. Box 9085, Pleasanton,

                             TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.     LICENSE

1.1    PeopleSoft grants Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable
license to use the licensed Software, solely for Licensee's internal data
processing operations for the size of entity specified in the Schedule(s), on
Servers located at Sites within the Territory. Licensee shall use any third
party software products or modules provided by PeopleSoft solely with PeopleSoft
Software.

1.2  Licensee may:

a. make a reasonable number of copies of the Software, solely for: (i)
   Production Use according to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) archive for
   emergency back-up purposes; and (iii) disaster recovery testing purposes; and
b. modify or merge the Software with other software, with the understanding that
   any modifications, however extensive, shall not diminish PeopleSoft's title
   or interest in the Software.

1.3  PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with the number of copies of the
Software and Documentation only as specified in the applicable Schedule and
workstation access as specified in the applicable Schedule. Licensee may make a
reasonable number of copies of Documentation solely for Licensee's internal use
with the Software provided all copyright notices are reproduced.

2.     LICENSE EXCLUSIONS

2.1    Except as expressly authorized herein, Licensee shall not:

a.  Copy the Software;
b.  Cause or permit reverse compilation or reverse assembly of all or any
    portion of the Software;
c.  Distribute, disclose (except for disclosure to third parties under sections
    4.2 and 14.2 of this Agreement), market, rent, lease or transfer to any
    third party any portion of the Software (including PeopleTools) or the
    Documentation, or use the Software or Documentation in any service bureau
    arrangement, facility management, or third party training;
d.  Disclose the results of Software performance benchmarks to any third party
    without PeopleSoft's prior written consent (except for disclosure to third
    parties under sections 4.2 and 14.2 of this Agreement);
e.  Transfer the Software to a different database platform without prior written
    notice to PeopleSoft and payment of any additional fees that may be due;
f.  Transfer to or use the Software outside the Territory without providing
    prior written notice to PeopleSoft and payment of additional fees;
g.  Export the Software in violation of U.S. Department of Commerce export
    administration regulations; and
h.  Use PeopleTools, except solely in conjunction with the licensed PeopleSoft
    applications.

2.2    No license, right, or interest in any PeopleSoft trademark, trade name,
or service mark is granted hereunder.

3.     FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

3.1    Licensee shall pay PeopleSoft the fees as specified in each applicable
Schedule.

3.2    Unless Licensee provides PeopleSoft with a valid tax exemption or direct
pay certificate, Licensee is responsible for all taxes, duties and customs fees
concerning the Software and/or services, excluding taxes based on PeopleSoft's
income. Overdue payments shall bear interest at the lesser of twelve percent
(12%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law.

3.3    The license fee for the Software listed in the applicable Schedule is
based upon Licensee's representations concerning pricing metrics of operation,
as set forth in the Schedule(s). PeopleSoft reserves the right to assess
additional license fees if the pricing metrics of operation are enlarged beyond
the scope which formed the basis for the license fees.

3.4    On an annual basis, PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with a statement
listing the applicable pricing metrics for which the Software is licensed.
Licensee shall provide PeopleSoft with a signed certification of such statement
either (a) confirming that the Software is being used in conformance with the
applicable license; or (b) providing PeopleSoft with corrected figures.   If
Licensee provides PeopleSoft with corrected figures, PeopleSoft shall invoice
Licensee for the applicable fees for any increase beyond the applicable pricing
metrics licensed. Should Licensee fail to pay the applicable fees for any
increase, such failure shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

3.5    PeopleSoft reserves the right to audit Licensee's use of the Software no
more than once annually at PeopleSoft's expense. All audits shall be conducted
during regular business hours at Licensee's site and shall not unreasonably
interfere with Licensee's business activities. PeopleSoft shall schedule any
audits at least fifteen (15) days in advance.

4.     TITLE AND PROTECTION

4.1    PeopleSoft (or its third-party providers) retains title to all portions
of the Software and any copies thereof. If Licensee creates a Software
modification using PeopleTools, Licensee shall only have title in such
modification that remains after PeopleTools has been separated from the
modification. Licensee shall use modifications created by Licensee solely for
internal use in accordance with this Agreement. Licensee may disclose Licensee-
created modifications to other PeopleSoft customers through PeopleSoft Forum,
subject to PeopleSoft's right to modify and monitor modifications distributed
through PeopleSoft Forum. Except as stated above, Licensee shall have no right
to market or distribute modifications. In the event Licensee provides Software
modifications to PeopleSoft, PeopleSoft shall have a perpetual, royalty-free
license from Licensee to use, enhance and incorporate such modifications into
PeopleSoft's software products for general use and distribution. Licensee is not
obligated to disclose modifications to PeopleSoft.

4.2    Title to the physical media for the Software vests in Licensee upon
delivery. PeopleSoft represents that the Software contains valuable proprietary
information.   Licensee shall not disclose the Software to anyone other than
those of its employees or consultants under nondisclosure obligation who have a
need to access the Software for purposes consistent with this Agreement. Each
full or partial copy of the Software made by Licensee shall have

                                                                     page 1 of 4
<PAGE>

all copyright and proprietary information notices as provided in the original.

4.3    The Software was developed at private expense, is commercial, and is
published and copyrighted. If Licensee is an agency of the United States
Government or licensing the Software for operation on behalf of the United
States Government, the Software is transferred to Licensee with rights no
greater than those set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.227-19(c)(2)
[or DFAR 252.227-7013(c)(1) if the transfer is to a defense-related agency] or
subsequent citation.

4.4    The Software may be transferred to the U.S. government only with the
separate prior written consent of PeopleSoft and solely with "Restricted Rights"
as that term is defined in FAR 52.227- 19(c)(2) (or DFAR 252.227-7013(c)(1) if
the transfer is to a defense- related agency) or subsequent citation.

5.     PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY

PeopleSoft shall indemnify and defend Licensee against any claims that the
Software infringes any United States patent or copyright; provided that
PeopleSoft is given prompt notice of such claim and is given information,
reasonable assistance, and sole authority to defend or settle the claim. In the
defense or settlement of the claim, PeopleSoft shall, in its reasonable judgment
and at its option and expense: (i) obtain for Licensee the right to continue
using the Software; (ii) replace or modify the Software so that it becomes
noninfringing while giving equivalent performance; or (iii) if PeopleSoft cannot
obtain the remedies in (i) or (ii) as its sole obligation, terminate the license
for the infringing Software and upon receipt of the infringing Software, return
only the license fees paid by Licensee for such Software, prorated over a five
year term from the applicable Schedule Effective Date. PeopleSoft shall have no
liability to indemnify or defend Licensee to the extent the alleged infringement
is based on: (i) a modification of the Software by anyone other than PeopleSoft
(ii) use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, or
(iii) use of the Software outside the Territory.

6.     DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

6.1    An event of default is: (i) a failure by either party to comply with any
material obligation under this Agreement; and (ii) such non-compliance remains
uncured for more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof

6.2    If an event of default occurs, the nondefaulting party, in addition to
any other rights available to it under law or equity, may terminate this
Agreement and all licenses granted hereunder by written notice to the defaulting
party. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, remedies shall be
cumulative and there shall be no obligation to exercise a particular remedy.

6.3    Within fifteen (15) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee
shall certify in writing to PeopleSoft that all copies of the Software in any
form, including partial copies within modified versions, have been destroyed or
returned to PeopleSoft.

7.     LIMITED WARRANTY

PeopleSoft warrants that it has title to the Software and/or the authority to
grant licenses to use the third party software. PeopleSoft warrants that the
Software will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for a
period of one (1) year from the date of initial installation and that the
Software media is free from material defects. PeopleSoft does not warrant that
the Software is error-free. PeopleSoft's sole obligation is limited to repair or
replacement of the defective Software in a timely manner, provided Licensee
notifies PeopleSoft of the deficiency within the one-year period and provided
Licensee has installed all Software updates provided pursuant to PeopleSoft's
Software Support Services. PEOPLESOFT DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

PEOPLESOFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS,
HOWEVER ARISING, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
EXCLUDING DAMAGES INCURRED BY LICENSEE UNDER THE ARTICLE ENTITLED, "PATENT AND
COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY," PEOPLESOFT'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT) SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY
LICENSEE TO PEOPLESOFT FOR THE SOFTWARE MODULE OR THE SERVICES FROM WHICH THE
CLAIM AROSE. THE PARTIES AGREE TO THE ALLOCATION OF LIABILITY RISK SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION.

9.     SINGLE SITE SOFTWARE SUPPORT SERVICES

PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with one (1) year of Software Support Services
for a single Server at Licensee's single, central Site listed in the applicable
Schedule according to PeopleSoft's standard Software Support Services Terms and
Conditions. After the first year, Licensee may elect to acquire single Site
Software Support Services pursuant to the then-current terms and conditions by
paying PeopleSoft the fees stated in the applicable Schedule.  Unless Licensee
elects to purchase Software Support Services for more than one Site, Licensee
shall support all copies of the Software licensed under this Agreement through
Licensee's single, central Site. Licensee may acquire Support Services for
additional Sites for an additional annual fee.

10.    ON-SITE SUPPORT DAYS

PeopleSoft shall use the installation support days listed in the Schedule(s) to
install the Software listed in the Schedule(s) on a single Server at Licensee's
single, central Site.   Any additional installation support requested by
Licensee shall be provided to Licensee at the then-current hourly rate. Licensee
shall reimburse PeopleSoft for all reasonable travel and living expenses
associated with any installation and support.

11.    TRAINING

PeopleSoft shall provide Licensee with the number of training units set forth in
the Schedule for use at a PeopleSoft Training Facility. Licensee may use
training units for training at Licensee's site only as the parties mutually
agree in writing. Licensee must use these training units within one (1) year
from the Schedule Effective Date.

12.    NOTICES

All notices shall be in writing and sent by registered mail, overnight mail,
courier, or transmitted by facsimile (if confirmed by such mailing), to the
addresses indicated in this Agreement or such other address as either party may
indicate by at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the other party.
Notices to PeopleSoft shall be sent to the attention of PeopleSoft Legal with a
copy to Licensee's assigned account manager.

                                                                     page 2 of 4
<PAGE>

13.    ASSIGNMENT

Licensee may not assign this Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise) or
sublicense the Software without the prior written consent of PeopleSoft, and any
prohibited assignment or sublicense shall be null and void. Software licensed
under this Agreement is solely for the use of Licensee. Any merger or
acquisition of or by Licensee shall require payment of additional license fees
for the expanded scope of use of the licensed Software.

14.    NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATION

14.1   The terms, conditions, pricing and any other information clearly marked
"confidential" under this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed,
orally or in writing by Licensee to any third party without the prior written
consent of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft shall not disclose to any third party any
Licensee information provided to PeopleSoft  which is clearly marked
"confidential" without Licensee's prior written consent

14.2   Licensee shall protect the Software with at least the same degree of care
and confidentiality, but not less than a reasonable standard of care, which
Licensee utilizes for Licensee information that it does not wish disclosed to
the public. Licensee may provide access to and use of the Software only to those
third parties that: (i) provide services to Licensee concerning Licensee's use
of the Software; (ii) have a need to use and access the Software; and (iii) have
agreed to substantially similar non-disclosure obligations imposed by Licensee
as those contained herein. This Agreement imposes no obligation upon Licensee
with respect to PeopleSoft's confidential information which Licensee can
establish by legally sufficient evidence: (a) was in the possession of, or was
rightfully known by Licensee without an obligation to maintain its
confidentiality prior to receipt from PeopleSoft; (b) is or becomes generally
known to the public without violation of this Agreement; (c) is obtained by
Licensee in good faith from a third party having the right to disclose it
without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by
Licensee without the participation of individuals who have had access to
PeopleSoft's confidential information. Licensee may disclose confidential
information if required by law, provided that Licensee notifies PeopleSoft of
such requirement prior to disclosure and gives PeopleSoft an opportunity to
object to such disclosure. PeopleSoft may require Licensee to request that the
appropriate governmental entity seal the record containing such confidential
information and PeopleSoft shall have the right to assume responsibility for
responding to and defending such requests for disclosure of the confidential
information.

15.    GENERAL

This Agreement is made in and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California, without regard to its choice of law principles. Venue shall be in
San Francisco, California. The section headings herein are provided for
convenience only and have no substantive effect on the construction of this
Agreement. No purchase order or other ordering document that purports to modify
or supplement the printed text of this Agreement or any Schedule shall add to or
vary the terms of this Agreement. All such proposed variations or additions
(whether submitted by PeopleSoft or Licensee) are objected to and deemed
material unless agreed to in writing. Except for Licensee's obligation to pay
PeopleSoft, neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform due to
causes beyond its reasonable control. If any provision of this Agreement is held
to be unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision.
The failure by a party to exercise any right hereunder shall not operate as a
waiver of such party's right to exercise such right or any other right in the
future. Except for actions for non-payment or breach of PeopleSoft's
proprietary rights in the Software, no action, regardless of form, arising out
of this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year after the
cause of action has accrued. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
document executed by a duly authorized representative of each of the parties.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. To expedite order processing,
Transmitted Copies are considered documents equivalent to original documents,
however Licensee agrees to provide PeopleSoft with one fully executed original
Agreement and applicable Schedule(s).

This Agreement and the Schedule(s) constitute the entire agreement between the
parties concerning Licensee's acquisition and use of the Software. This
Agreement replaces and supersedes any prior verbal or written understandings,
communications, and representations between the parties.  This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall be considered original.

Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

    PeopleSoft specialists to correct the Error; (2) provide ongoing
    communication on the status of the corrections; and (3) immediately commence
    to provide a Workaround or a Fix.

    Priority B (Urgent):

    fees that would have been payable had Licensee not suspended Support
    Services.

This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions and one or more
Software and/or Services Schedule(s) (collectively referred to as the
"Schedule(s)") to this Agreement which are adopted from time to time with
reference to this Agreement.

Each Software Schedule identifies the software products and related
documentation licensed from Authoria under this Agreement (the "Software"), and
sets forth the Scope of Use, Term of License, Designated Location(s), License
Fees, Payment Terms, and Specifications for such Software. Each Services
Schedule identifies the consulting services to be provided by Authoria under
this Agreement (the "Services"), and sets forth the Services Fees and Payment
Terms for such Services. Each Schedule will refer to this Agreement by Contract
Number and will become effective as an integral part of this Agreement upon its
execution by both Licensee and Authoria.

1. Software License Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Authoria
   ----------------------
   grants to Licensee a nonexclusive license ("License") to use the Software
   identified in any Software Schedule attached to this Agreement at the
   Designated Location(s) during the Term. Licensee may transfer the Software to
   other locations owned or controlled by Licensee by providing prompt written
   notice to Authoria specifying the change in the Designated Location(s). The
   License shall extend to affiliates of Licensee to the extent provided in the
   Software Schedule, so long (and only so long) as Licensee owns or controls,
   directly or indirectly, stock or other interest in the affiliate representing
   more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate stock or other interest
   entitled to vote on decisions reserved to a vote by owners of such stock or
   other interest. Licensee's use of the Software shall be limited to Licensee's
   internal business purposes only, and, unless otherwise provided in the
   Software Schedule, Licensee may not use the Software to process accounts or
   records or to generate output data for the direct benefit of, or for purposes
   of rendering services to, any other business entities or organizations. In no
   event may Licensee allow timesharing, rental or use of the Software in
   service bureau.

2. Certain Restrictions. Licensee understands that the Software is a proprietary
   --------------------
   product of Authoria that contains trade secrets and is protected by copyright
   law. Authoria shall have sole and exclusive ownership of all right, title,
   and interest in and to the Software and documentation, all copies thereof,
   and all modifications and enhancements thereto (including ownership of all
   copyrights and other intellectual property rights pertaining thereto),
   subject only to the right and license expressly granted to Licensee herein.
   This Agreement does not provide Licensee with title or ownership of the
   Software, but only a right of limited use. Licensee may not use, copy,
   modify, or distribute the Software (electronically or otherwise), or any
   copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion thereof, except as
   expressly authorized by Authoria, an applicable Software Schedule, or a
   separate written agreement signed by Authoria. Licensee shall ensure that the
   Software is not modified, translated, examined, tested, subjected to
   simulated input, reverse engineered or decompiled or disassembled by
   attempted recreation of source code in any manner, for any reason including
   but not limited determining the mechanism, algorithms, processes or
   characteristics of the Software, provided Licensee may examine or test the
   Software only for authorized maintenance and error correction. Licensee shall
   further ensure that no person with access to the Software otherwise attempts
   to obtain or derive the object or source code of the Software or create any
   derivative works based on the Software or any software product or other work
   based on the mechanism, algorithms, processes or characteristics of the
   Software. Licensee agrees to keep the source code, object code, generic code
   and content of the Software confidential and not to disclose such codes to
   any other person or entity or to allow any other person or entity to copy or
   view such codes. Licensee agrees that it will not cause or permit the use of
   the Software and related documentation, or the ideas or concepts contained
   therein, as the basis of the development of any computer software products.
   For purposes of this Agreement, it will be presumed that any works developed
   or created by Licensee which involve the development of computer software
   performing substantially similar functions to the licensed Software, and are
   reduced to practice within three (3) years following the date of termination
   or expiration of the License granted hereunder, are the result of the breach
   of this Section and/or Section 3, Confidentiality, unless Licensee is able to
   establish otherwise by clear and convincing evidence. Notwithstanding
   anything to the contrary contained herein, this presumption will not apply in
   the event that Licensee independently develops products performing similar
   functions to the Software, so long as Licensee can show by clear and
   convincing documentary evidence, that (i) such products are developed for the
   benefit of individual clients of Licensee as part of an overall business
   solution, and are not generally marketed for commercial resale, (ii) neither
   the Software, nor the ideas or concepts contained therein, are used as the
   basis for development of such products, and (iii) no employee(s) of Licensee
   having access to the Software are involved, directly, or indirectly, in the
   development or design of such products. Licensee authorizes Authoria upon
   three (3) days' prior written notice to enter Licensee's premises in order to
   inspect the Software during regular business hours to verify compliance with
   the terms of this Agreement, provided that Licensee agrees not to conceal or
   destroy any software, materials or information after receiving such notice,
   through the completion of such inspection.

   ---------------
   which is identified as confidential and which is provided by one party to the
   other shall be considered "Confidential Information" under this Agreement.
   Each party shall take such measures to protect Confidential Information of
   the other party as it takes to protect its own similar proprietary and
   confidential information. This restriction shall not apply to any
   Confidential Information which is already known by the receiving party, is or
   becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, or is
   required to be disclosed by government or judicial order. The terms of this
   Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information, and shall not be
   disclosed by either party without the prior written consent of the other. All
   Confidential Information provided to a party under this Agreement shall be
   returned to the disclosing party or destroyed promptly upon termination of
   this Agreement.

4. Authoria Services.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Authoria will
   -----------------
   provide Licensee with such Services as are described in any Services Schedule
   attached to this Agreement. Authoria may also make maintenance services
   available to Licensee under a separate maintenance agreement. In the event
   that Licensee requests consulting services that are beyond the scope of this
   Agreement and the maintenance agreement, Authoria may provide such services
   at is standard rates then in effect or recommend appropriate outside
   consultants. Any and all enhancements, modifications and corrections to the
   Software provided as part of any Authoria service will be considered part of
   the "Software" for purposes of this Agreement.

        for the Software; and
   (e)  Establishing adequate operational back-up provisions to protect against
        data loss and/or a defect or malfunction that renders the Software or
        the computer systems on which they run nonoperational.

   Authoria reserves the right to charge additional service fees if an operator
seeks assistance with respect to such basic information or any other matters not
directly relating to the operation of the Software. Authoria does not hold
itself out as a professional expert and adviser regarding Licensee's computer or
information needs. Authoria is not responsible for obsolescence of the Software
that may result from changes in Licensee's requirements.

6. Publicity.  Licensee agrees to make reasonable efforts to serve as a
   ---------

   studies and other promotional activity, and to allow its name to be used in
   press releases, sales materials and user literature.

7. Data.  Licensee acknowledges that data conversion is subject to the
   ----
   likelihood of human and machine errors, omissions, delays, and losses,
   including inadvertent loss of data or damage to media, that may give rise to
   loss or damage. Authoria shall not be liable for any such errors, omissions,
   delays, or losses, unless caused by its willful misconduct. Licensee is

   data. Licensee is also responsible for complying with all local, state, and
   federal laws pertaining to its benefit programs and the use and disclosure of
   any data.

8. Fees/Payment.  Licensee agrees to pay the fees specified in the attached
   ------------
   Schedule(s) in accordance with the terms specified therein, plus any
   reasonable travel and living expenses incurred in connection with the
   provision of Software or Services under this Agreement. The fees specified in
   the Schedule(s) are exclusive of, and Licensee agrees to pay any sales, use
   or other tax related to this transaction, however designated (except taxes
   based on net income). Unless otherwise specified in a Schedule, invoices are
   payable upon receipt. Authoria reserves the right to charge a late fee of up
   to 1.5% per month (or, if less, the maximum rate allowable by law) on any
   balance remaining unpaid for more than thirty (30) days.

9. Limited Warranty.
   ----------------
   (a)  Authoria warrants that the Software shall not develop any faults due to
        the manipulation of data by the Software with dates prior to, through
        and including January 1, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Authoria
        makes no warranty whatsoever with respect to the Software's use or
        display of date related data, which may be read from third party
        systems.
   (b)  Authoria warrants that, prior to delivery of any media containing
        Software, it will take reasonable steps to test such media to ensure
        that the Software is free of programming devices (e.g., viruses, key
        locks, backdoors, etc.) that are designed to disrupt the use of the
        Software or any system with which the Software operates, or destroy or
        damage data or make data inaccessible or delayed, except for file and
        purge routines necessary to the routine functioning of the Software.
   (c)  Authoria warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days following
        delivery, the Software will function substantially in accordance with
        the Specifications. Authoria does not warrant that the Software will be
        error free in all circumstances. As Licensee's exclusive remedy for any
        breach of this warranty, Authoria will, at its expense, replace or
        repair any Software that fails to meet this limited warranty. In the
        event that Authoria is unable to repair or replace the Software during
        the warranty period, Licensee may terminate its License and return the
        defective Software, and Authoria will provide Licensee with a refund of
        the License Fees paid for the Software in question. However, Authoria is
        not responsible for any defect or error not reported during the warranty
        period or any defect or error in Software that Licensee has modified,
        misused, or damaged.

<PAGE>

   (d)  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, AUTHORIA MAKES NO
        WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
        THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION. AUTHORIA SPECIFICALLY
        DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
        PURPOSE.

10. Limitation of Liability.  THE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF AUTHORIA TO LICENSEE
    -----------------------
    FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN
    CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL
    LICENSE FEES PAID TO AUTHORIA FOR THE RELEVANT SOFTWARE WITHIN THE PRIOR
    YEAR. THIS LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN
    PARAGRAPH 11. IN NO EVENT WILL AUTHORIA OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO
    LICENSEE FOR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR ANY INDIRECT,
    SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT,
    EVEN IF AUTHORIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
    ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND
    EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE SUCCESS OR
    EFFECTIVENESS OF OTHER REMEDIES.

11. Indemnification.  If a third party claims that the Software infringes any
    ----------------
    U.S. patent, copyright, or trade secret, Authoria will (as long as Licensee
    is not in default under this Agreement or any other agreement with Authoria)
    defend Licensee against such claim at Authoria's expense and pay all damages
    that a court finally awards, provided that Licensee promptly notifies
    Authoria in writing of the claim, allows Authoria to control, and cooperates
    with Authoria in, the defense or settlement of such action. If such a claim
    is made or appears possible, Authoria may, at its option, secure for
    Licensee the right to continue to use the Software, modify or replace the
    Software so they are noninfringing, or, if neither of the foregoing options
    is available in Authoria's judgment, require Licensee to return the Software
    for a credit equal to the portion of previously paid License fees allocable
    to the remaining term of the License. (If the License is perpetual, the
    License Fee will be amortized over a five-year useful life.) However,
    Authoria has no obligation for any claim based on a modified version of the
    Software or their combination, operation, or use with any product, data, or
    apparatus not provided by Authoria. THIS PARAGRAPH STATES AUTHORIA'S ENTIRE
    OBLIGATION TO LICENSEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.

12. Default/Termination.  Should Licensee fail to pay any fees or charges due
    -------------------
    hereunder or fail to carry out any other obligation under this Agreement or
    any other agreement with Authoria, Authoria may, at its option, in addition
    to other available remedies, terminate the Software License granted under
    this Agreement and/or disable the Software, provided that it first gives
    Licensee fifteen (15) days' prior notice in order to permit Licensee to cure
    its default. Upon expiration or termination of any License, Licensee will
    promptly return or certify the destruction of all copies of the Software and
    all other materials pertaining to the Software, which are in Licensee's
    possession.

    ---------------------------------
    terms of a proposal or agreement with the United States Government or any
    contractor therefor, the Software is subject to the following: the Software
    is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the

14. General.
    -------
    (a)  This Agreement, including any Schedule(s) attached hereto which have
         been signed by both parties, is the complete and exclusive statement of
         the agreement between the parties and supersedes all proposals or prior
         agreements, oral or written, and all other communications between the
         parties relating to the subject matter hereof. Any waiver or
         modification of the provisions of this Agreement will be effective only
         if in writing and signed by the party against whom it is to be
         enforced. In the event of a conflict with the provisions of any other
         document, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

    (b)  Persons and entities who have licensed software to Authoria for
         inclusion in the Software are third party beneficiaries to this
         Agreement as it applies to their respective software products included
         in the Software.
    (c)  Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of Authoria's proprietary
         rights in the Software, a delay or failure by either party to exercise
         any right or bring any action, within one (1) year of the event giving
         rise to such right or such cause of action, shall waive any and all
         rights relating to that action.
    (d)  All notices or other communications required to be given hereunder
         shall be in writing and delivered either personally or by U.S. mail,
         certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as
         provided in this Agreement or as otherwise requested by the receiving
         party. Notices delivered personally shall be effective upon delivery
         and notices delivered by mail shall be effective upon their receipt by
         the party to whom they are addressed.
    (e)  This Agreement and the associated License may not be assigned by
         Licensee without Authoria's written consent, which shall not be
         unreasonably withheld. Licensee agrees that it shall not be considered
         unreasonable for Authoria to withhold Authoria's consent to an
         assignment to a party that is, or is likely to become, in Authoria's
         reasonable opinion, a competitor of Authoria.
    (f)  Licensee will be responsible for compliance with all legal requirements
         related to its use of the Software, including those related to the
         disclosure of data, and to any exports of Software made by Licensee.
    (g)  This Agreement shall be considered an agreement made in Massachusetts
         and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
         the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
