                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement"), is made effective as of
September 16, 2002 (the "Effective Date") by and between Gregory J. Dukat
("Employee") and Indus International, Inc. ("Company"). Because Company desires
to employ Employee and because Employee desires to be employed by Company, both
parties, in consideration of the mutual and exchanged promises and agreements
contained herein and of wages paid and services rendered hereunder, hereby
agree as follows:

         SECTION 1.        EMPLOYMENT.

         (a)      Subject to the terms contained in this Agreement, Company
hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby accepts such employment. Initially,
Employee shall have the title of Executive Vice President of Worldwide
Operations reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, though this position and
title subsequently may be changed by Company as Company or its needs grow or
change. Employee shall perform all duties reasonably assigned by the Company.
Employee shall devote his full business time and efforts exclusively to
rendering services on behalf of Company. Such duties shall be provided at such
place(s) and time(s) as Company may require.

         (b)      Employee recognizes that he owes a duty of loyalty to Company
and he agrees that, while he is employed by Company pursuant to this Agreement,
he shall not be engaged in any other business. Employee shall provide Company
with all information, suggestions and recommendations Employee conceives or
learns regarding Company's business that could be of benefit to Company.
Employee shall refrain from any activity or action that creates a conflict of
interest with Company, creates the appearance of a conflict of interest with
Company or reasonably could be expected to have a detrimental effect upon any
aspect of Company's performance or upon Employee's ability to perform his
duties. Employee shall not accept any position as a director, trustee or other
affiliate of any business organization, or as a director or trustee of any
civic or charitable organization without the prior written approval of the
Chief Executive Officer of Company.

         SECTION 2.        COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

         (a)      Base Salary. While employed hereunder, Employee shall be paid
a salary at the annual rate of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000.00), less withholding for taxes and deductions for other appropriate
items ("Base Salary"). Employee's Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with
the Company's payroll practices. Any salary adjustments shall be in the
discretion of the Chief Executive Officer. In addition to the base salary
described above. All compensation payments will cease upon termination of this
Agreement; provided, however, that Employee shall be paid for all time worked
prior to the termination.

<PAGE>

         (b)      Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, Employee may receive a
performance bonus during each year of employment with the Company under this
Agreement equal to an amount, to be determined by the Company's Board of
Directors or the Compensation Committee, of up to one hundred percent (100%) of
Base Salary; provided, however, that, the payment of any such bonus shall be
subject to Employee's continued employment with the Company through the end of
the applicable Company fiscal year and shall be prorated for the months of
service during the applicable fiscal year. Such performance bonus, if any,
shall be determined by the board or the Compensation Committee based upon its
evaluation of performance relative to the business plan and other pertinent
considerations.

         (c)      Employee Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to participate in all employee welfare
and benefit programs, if any, maintained by the Company to the same extent and
under the same conditions as other employees of the Company. Employee
understands and agrees that the Company may change, amend or discontinue
entirely any employee benefit at any time, with or without advance notice, at
its sole discretion.

         (d)      Stock Option. The Company will recommend to the Board of
Directors or the Compensation Committee that, at the earliest practicable date
following the Effective Date, Employee be granted a stock option, which will
be, to the extent possible under the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), intended to be an
"incentive stock option" (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), to purchase
Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand (350,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price equal to the per share market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date of the grant (the "Option").

         In addition, subject to Employee's continued service to the Company on
the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company will recommend to the
Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee that, at the earliest
practicable date following the first anniversary of the Effective Date,
Employee be granted a stock option, which will be, to the extent possible under
the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), intended to be an "incentive stock option" (as defined in
Section 422 of the Code), to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the per share market
value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the grant (the "Subsequent
Option").

         To the extent that any portion of the Option or the Subsequent Option
exceeds the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, the excess shall be
treated as options which are not incentive stock options. The Option and the
Subsequent Option will each vest as to 25% of the shares subject to such option
on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and as to 25% of the shares
subject to such option each year thereafter, so that each of the Option and the
Subsequent Option will be fully vested and exercisable four (4) years from the
date of grant, subject to Employee's continued service to the Company on the
relevant vesting dates. The Option and the Subsequent Option will be subject to
the terms, definitions and provisions of the Company's Stock Plan and the stock
option

         SECTION  3.       TERMINATION.

         This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Employee at any
time and for any reason.

         SECTION 4.        NONDISCLOSURE OF TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIAL
                           INFORMATION.

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

         (b)      Confidential Information Defined. As used in this Agreement,
the term "Confidential Information" shall mean all information regarding
Company, Company's activities, Company's business or Company's clients that is
not generally known to persons not employed (as employees or independent
agents) by Company, that is not generally disclosed by Company practice or
authority to persons not employed by Company and is the subject of reasonable
efforts to keep it confidential. Confidential Information shall include, but
not be limited to product code, product concepts, production techniques,
technical information regarding Company products or services, production
processes and product/service development, operations techniques,
product/service formulas, information concerning Company techniques for use and

         (c)      Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. During Employee's
employment hereunder and for a period of one (1) year after Employee's
employment with Company terminates for any reason, Employee shall not directly
or indirectly transmit or disclose any Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information to any person, concern or entity, or make use of any such
Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, for himself or for others,
without the prior express written consent of the Chief Employee Officer of
Company. During the term of this Agreement and perpetually thereafter, for so
long as the information remains a Trade Secret, Employee shall not directly or
indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior express written
consent of the Chief Employee Officer of Company, transmit or disclose any
Trade Secrets to any person, concern or entity, or make use of any such Trade
Secrets. Employee warrants that he has not disclosed or used for his own
benefit or the benefit of anyone other than Company any Confidential
Information or Trade Secrets prior to the execution of this Agreement.

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

         SECTION  5.       NONRECRUITMENT AND NONSOLICITATION COVENANTS.

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

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

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

had, alone or in conjunction with others, Material Contact during the one (1)
year prior to the termination of Employee's employment and "Potential Customer"
means any individual or entity to whom the Company has actively sought to sell
products or services within the one (1) year immediately prior to the
termination of Employee's employment and with whom Employee had Material
Contact on the Company's behalf during that same time period. For purposes of
this covenant, Employee had "Material Contact" with a customer if (i) Employee
had business dealings with the customer on the Company's behalf; (ii) Employee
was responsible for supervising or coordinating the dealings between the
customer and the Company; or (iii) Employee obtained Trade Secrets or
Confidential Information (such terms having the same meanings as defined in
Section 4 above, but in each case relating to the Customer or Potential
Customer) about the customer as a result of Employee's association with the
Company.

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

         SECTION  6.       INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT.

         Employee agrees to enter into the Company's standard Invention
Assignment Agreement upon commencing employment hereunder.

         SECTION 7.        RIGHTS TO MATERIALS AND RETURN OF MATERIALS.

         All records, files, software, software code, memoranda, reports, price
lists, customer lists, drawings, plans, sketches, documents, technical
information, information on the use, development and integration of software,
and the like (together with all copies of such documents and things) relating
to the business of Company, which Employee shall use or prepare or come in
contact with in the course of, or as a result of, Employee's

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

employment or other engagement by Company shall, as between the parties to this
Agreement, remain the sole property of Company. Laptop computers, other
computers, software and related data, information and things provided to
Employee by Company or obtained by Employee, directly or indirectly, from
Company, also shall remain the sole property of Company. Upon the termination
of Employee's employment or upon the prior demand of Company, Employee shall
immediately return all such materials and things to Company and shall not
retain any copies or remove or participate in removing any such materials or
things from the premises of Company after termination or Company's request for
return.

         SECTION 8.        [RESERVED]

         SECTION 9.        WORKS MADE FOR HIRE.

         Company and Employee acknowledge that in the course of Employee's
employment (as employee or independent contractor) by Company, Employee may
from time to time create, and has previously created, for Company copyrightable
works. Such works may consist of manuals, pamphlets, instructional materials,
computer programs, software, software integration techniques, software codes,
and data, technical data, photographs, drawings, logos, designs, artwork or
other copyrightable material, or portions thereof, and may be created within or
without Company's facilities and before, during or after normal business hours.
All such works related to or useful in the business of Company are specifically
intended to be works made by hire by Employee, and Employee shall cooperate
with Company in the protection of Company's copyrights in such works and, to
the extent deemed desirable by Company, the registration of such copyrights.

         SECTION 10.       COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND LAWS.

policies, work rules or standards of conduct and pledges to observe order and

discipline of work.

         (b)      Laws. Employee agrees to abide by the laws of the United
States and all other applicable jurisdictions and to exercise good judgment in
the best interest of Company.

         SECTION 11.       ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

         With the exception of any dispute arising under Sections 4, 5, 7, and
9 of this Agreement, Company and Employee agree that any dispute arising in
connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or the termination of this
Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, shall be subject to
resolution through informal methods and, failing such efforts, through
arbitration. Either party may notify the other party of the existence of a
dispute by written notice as described below in Section 12(d). The parties
shall thereafter attempt in good faith to resolve their differences within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice. If the dispute cannot be
resolved within the 30-day

                                      -6-

period, either party may file a written demand for arbitration with the other
party. The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the terms of the
Federal Arbitration Act and the rules and procedures of the American
Arbitration Association. A single arbitrator shall be appointed through the
American Arbitration Association's procedures to resolve the dispute.

         The parties agree that in the event arbitration is necessary, the laws
of the State of Georgia and any applicable federal law shall apply. The place
of the arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia.

         The award of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties. Either party shall have the right to have the award made the judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Georgia.

         SECTION 12.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)      Severability. The covenants set forth in this Agreement shall
be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any
part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any
court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability
shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of
this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of its
duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition of
information covered is invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or
unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such
that the intent of Company and Employee in agreeing to the provisions of this
Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

         (b)      Waiver. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach
of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as
a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

         (c)      Withholding of Taxes. Company may withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes and
withholdings as shall be required pursuant to any applicable law, rule or
regulation.

         (d)      Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, all communications
including,without limitation, notices, consents, requests or approvals,
provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when personally delivered or five (5) business days after having been
mailed by United States registered mail or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed to Company (to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company) at its principal Employee office or to Employee at
his principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have
furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except the
notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

                           INDUS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                     CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the "Agreement") is made
and entered into by and between Gregory J. Dukat (the "Employee") and Indus
International, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), effective as of
September 16, 2002 (the "Effective Date").

                                    RECITALS

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

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

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

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

                                   AGREEMENT

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

         1.       Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
date that all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this
Agreement have been satisfied.

         2.       At-Will Employment. The Company and the Employee acknowledge
that the Employee's employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined
under applicable law, except as may otherwise be specifically provided under
the terms of any written formal employment agreement between the Company and
the Employee (an "Employment Agreement"). If the Employee's employment
terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior
to a Change of Control, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments,
benefits, damages,

<PAGE>

awards or compensation other than as provided under his or her Employment
Agreement or as may otherwise be established under the Company's then existing
employee benefit plans or policies at the time of termination.

         3.       Severance Benefits

                  (a)      Involuntary Termination Following a Change of
Control. If within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control (A) either
(i) the Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company (or any
parent or subsidiary of the Company) for "Good Reason" (as defined herein) or
(ii) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates the
Employee's employment for other than "Cause" (as defined herein), and (B) the
Employee signs the Company's standard release of claims with the Company, then
the Employee shall receive the following severance benefits from the Company:

                           (i)      Severance Payment. The Employee shall
receive severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) for a period of
twelve (12) months from the date of such termination equal to the Employee's
base salary (such base salary as in effect immediately prior to (A) the Change
of Control, or (B) the Employee's termination, whichever is greater).

                           (ii)     Option Acceleration. Those outstanding
options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock granted to the
Employee by the Company prior to the Change of Control shall accelerate and be
automatically vested in full and become exercisable.

                           (iii)    Group Health Insurance Benefits. The
Company shall reimburse Employee for the premiums necessary to continue the
Employee's participation in the Company's group health insurance plan pursuant
to COBRA provided that the Employee takes the steps necessary to continue such
coverage pursuant to COBRA.

                  (b)      Timing of Severance Payments. The severance payments
to which the Employee is entitled shall be paid by the Company to the Employee
as salary continuation on the same basis and timing as in effect immediately
prior to the Change of Control and in accordance with the Company's standard
payroll practices. If the Employee should die before all amounts have been
paid, such unpaid amounts shall be paid in a lump-sum payment (less any
withholding taxes) to the Employee's designated beneficiary, if living, or
otherwise to the personal representative of the Employee's estate.

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

                  (d)      Disability; Death. If the Company terminates the
Employee's employment as a result of the Employee's Disability, or the
Employee's employment terminates due to his or her death, then the Employee
shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

(if any) as may then be established under the Company's then existing written
severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written
agreements with the Company.

                  (e)      Termination Apart from Change of Control. In the
event the Employee's employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to
the occurrence of a Change of Control or after a twelve (12) month period
following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive
severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the
Company's existing written severance and benefits plans and practices or
pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including but not
limited to, the Employment Agreement between the Company and Employee

                  (f)      Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of
Employee's employment within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control,
the provisions of this Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in
lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the Employee or the Company may
otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under
this Agreement. The Employee shall be entitled to no benefits, compensation or
other payments or rights upon termination of employment following a Change in
Control other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 3.

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

                  (a)      delivered in full, or

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

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

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  (a)      Cause. "Cause" means (i) an act of dishonesty made
by the Employee in connection with such Employee's responsibilities as an
employee, (ii) the Employee's arrest for, conviction of, or plea of nolo
contendre to, a felony which the Board reasonably believes had or will have a
material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business, (iii) the
Employee's gross misconduct, (iv) the Employee's continued substantial
violations of such Employee's duties as an employee after the Employee has
received a written demand for performance from the Company which specifically
sets forth the factual basis for the Company's belief that the Employee has not
substantially performed such Employee's duties.

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

                           (i)      Any "person" (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing seventy-five
percent (75%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company's
then outstanding voting securities; or

                           (ii)     Any action or event occurring within a
two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors
are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent Directors" shall mean directors who either
(A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or
nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a
majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination
(but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in
connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of directors to the Company), or (C) are approved by Warburg Pincus LLC so long
as it is the beneficial owner of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
then outstanding voting securities; or

                           (iii)    The consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the total voting power
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

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

                  (c)      Disability. "Disability" shall mean that the
Employee has been unable to perform his Company duties as the result of his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least
twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and
permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable
to the Employee or the Employee's legal representative (such Agreement as to
acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from
Disability may only be effected after at least 30 days' written notice by the
Company of its intention to terminate the Employee's employment. In the event
that the Employee resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties
hereunder before the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

termination of his employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to
terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked.

                  (d)      Good Reason. "Good Reason" means without the
Employee's consent (i) a significant reduction or elimination of the Employee's
duties or responsibilities , unless the Employee is provided with a comparable
position (i.e., a position of equal or greater duties, compensation and
status); (ii) a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the
facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to
the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) a reduction by the
Company in the base compensation of the Employee as in effect immediately prior
to such reduction other than in connection with a general reduction in
executive officer compensation; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the
kind or level of benefits to which the Employee was entitled immediately prior
to such reduction with the result that such Employee 's overall benefits
package is significantly reduced other than in connection with a general
reduction in the kind or level of benefits offered by the Company; (v) the
relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50)
miles from such Employee's then current location.

         6.       Successors.

                  (a)      The Company's Successors. Any successor to the
Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
Company's business and/or assets shall assume the obligations under this
Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to
perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under
this Agreement, the term "Company" shall include any successor to the Company's
business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement
described in this Section 6(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this
Agreement by operation of law.

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

         7.       Conditional Nature of Severance Payments.

                  (a)      Conditions Precedent and Subsequent. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee's full compliance with the
terms of the covenants set forth in this Section 7 is an express condition
precedent to his or her right to receive the compensation set forth in Section
3. In the event that Employee violates any of the terms of the covenants set
forth in this Section 7, Employee shall have no right to receive any
compensation under Section 3 of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and
agrees that he or she may receive compensation pursuant to Section 3 prior to
the expiration of the covenants set forth in this Section 7. Under such
circumstances, Employee's continued compliance with the terms of the covenants
in this Section 7 is an express condition subsequent to his right to receive
and retain the compensation set forth in Section 3. In the event that Employee
violates any of the terms of the covenants set forth in this Section 7 after
Employee already has received some or all of the compensation to which he or
she

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

otherwise is entitled under Section 3, all amounts previously paid to Employee
by the Company must be returned to the Company immediately and Employee will
not be entitled to receive any such compensation thereafter.

                  (b)      Non-Solicitation of Customers. Employee agrees that,
during his or her employment and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately
following his or her resignation for "Good Reason" or termination by the
Company for a reason other than "Cause," he or she will comply with the
provisions of Section 5(b) of his Employment Agreement.

                  (c)      Non-Solicitation of Employees. Employee agrees that,
during his or her employment and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately
following his or her resignation for "Good Reason" or termination by the
Company for "Cause", he or she will comply with the provisions of Section 5(a)
of his Employment Agreement.

                  (d)      Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets and Confidential
Information. Employee agrees that, during his or her employment and following
his or her resignation for "Good Reason" or termination by the Company for
"Cause", he or she will comply with the provisions of Section 4 of his
Employment Agreement.

                  (e) Covenant Not to Compete. Employee currently is employed
in the position of EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF WORLDWIDE OPERATIONS. Employee
agrees that attached hereto as Exhibit A, and expressly incorporated herein by
reference, is a true and correct copy of the job description of his or her
position. Employee acknowledges that this job description accurately describes
his or her duties and responsibilities for Employer. Employee agrees that,
during his or her employment, and for a period of twelve (12) months
immediately following his or her resignation for "Good Reason" or termination
by the Company for a reason other than "Cause," he or she will not, in the
Restricted Territory, provide services that are the same or substantially
similar to some or all of the duties and obligations described on Exhibit A to
or on behalf of himself, herself or any other person or entity engaged in the
Business in competition with the Company. For purposes of this provision,
"Restricted Territory" means Atlanta, Georgia and "Business" means the design,
product development, sale, marketing, implementation or support of enterprise
asset management computer software products or services. Employee and Employer
acknowledge and agree that Employee's job duties may change during the term of
this Agreement such that the job description attached hereto as Exhibit A is no
longer a complete and/or accurate description of Employee's duties and
responsibilities. Under such circumstances, either Employee or Employer may
request that Exhibit A be revised to accurately and/or completely describe
Employee's job, and Employer and Employee agree to negotiate reasonably and in
good faith regarding such revisions.

                  (f)      Severability. The covenants set forth herein are
separate and independent. If any portion of any covenant is held to be invalid,
void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such defect shall
not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other portion of this Agreement.
If any portion of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, or
definition(s) of activities or information covered is unreasonable, the
unreasonable term shall be redefined or replaced such that the intent of the
parties in entering this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in
question will be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                  (g)      Reasonableness and Relief. Employee agrees that the
covenants contained herein are reasonable and necessary means to protect the
Company's interests in its goodwill, Trade Secrets, Confidential Information
and intellectual property and that they will not unreasonably interfere with
his or her ability to earn a living should his or her employment be terminated.
Employee agrees that any breach by him or her of these covenants will cause
irreparable harm and injury to the Company and will leave it with no adequate
remedy at law. Employee agrees that, in the event that such a breach occurs,
the Company will be entitled to recover any remedy permitted under applicable
law in addition to any remedy provided herein, including, among other
appropriate relief, injunctive relief in any appropriate court without the
necessity of posting a bond.

                  (h)      Understanding of Covenants. The Employee represents
that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing covenants, and (ii) is fully aware
of his or her obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these
covenants.

         8.       Notice.

                  (a)      General. Notices and all other communications
contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of
the Employee, mailed notices shall be addressed to him or her at the home
address which he or she most recently communicated to the Company in writing.
In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate
headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its
President.

                  (b)      Notice of Termination. Any termination by the
Company for Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason or as a result of a
voluntary resignation shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the
other party hereto given in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement.
Such notice shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated,
and shall specify the termination date (which shall be not more than thirty
(30) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Employee to
include in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing
of Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Employee hereunder or preclude
the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his or her
rights hereunder.

         9.       Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  (a)      No Duty to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be
required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement,
nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Employee may
receive from any other source.

                  (b)      Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be
modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is
agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of
the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by either party of any breach
of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the
other

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of
the same condition or provision at another time.

                  (c)      Headings. All captions and section headings used in
this Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of this
Agreement.

                  (d)      Entire Agreement. Together with the Employment
Agreement between the parties, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
of the parties hereto and supersedes in their entirety all prior
representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or
written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

                  (e)      Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Georgia.

                  (f)      Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of The United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia or any court of the State
of Georgia located in Fulton County and in any action, suit or proceeding
arising in connection with this Agreement, agrees that any such action, suit or
proceeding may be brought in such court (and waives any objection based on
forum non conveniens or any other objection to venue therein to the extent
permitted by law), provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is
solely for the purpose referred to in this Section and shall not be deemed to
be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said courts. Nothing herein
shall affect the right of any party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction.

                  (g)      Severability; Withholding; Counterparts. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof,
which shall remain in full force and effect. All payments made pursuant to this
Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment
taxes. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

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