                ISV SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

     THIS ISV SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT is entered into this 27th day of
April, 1999 (the "Effective Date") by and between BEA WEBXPRESS, INC., a
Delaware corporation with principal offices at 550 California, 10th Floor, San

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, WebXpress desires to grant to Licensee, and Licensee desires to
receive from WebXpress, a worldwide, non-exclusive license to integrate
WebXpress's proprietary software in object code format into Integrated Products
(as hereinafter defined), and to distribute such WebXpress software as
integrated into Integrated Products, all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

1.   DEFINITIONS.

     For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below.

     1.1  "AFFILIATE" means an entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with Licensee. For purposes of this definition, "control" or any
correlative form thereof, means the ownership of more than fifty percent of the
voting stock of such entity, or if such entity is not a corporation, the
ability to control the day-to-day operations and business of such entity.

     1.2  "DISTRIBUTOR" means an Affiliate, or third party distributor or
reseller, appointed by Licensee under the terms of this Agreement, who acquires
Integrated Products from Licensee solely for the purpose of distributing such
Integrated Products to End-Users, and not for such party's internal business
purposes. Any Distributor who seeks to make use of any Integrated Product for
its own internal business purposes must do so under the terms of an End-User
License Agreement.

     1.3  "DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT" means a written agreement between Licensee
and a Distributor, signed by both parties, covering the distribution by such

intellectual property rights, than the terms of this Agreement.

     1.4  "END-USER" means a person or entity who acquires Integrated Products
from Licensee or a Distributor for such person or entity's internal business
purposes, and not for sale, resale, lease or any other form of distribution to
third parties.

of an Integrated Product to such End-User. Such agreement must be consistent
with, and no less protective of WebXpress's proprietary and intellectual
property rights in the WebXpress Software, than the terms of this Agreement.
Without limitation, an End-User License Agreement must contain terms consistent
with the applicable provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement.

7.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

     7.1  DEFINITION. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" of a party means information or materials disclosed or otherwise
provided by such party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving
Party") that are identified as confidential or proprietary. "Confidential
Information" does not include that which (i) was known to the Receiving Party,
without restriction and without duty of confidentiality, at the time of
disclosure, as evidenced by the written records of Receiving Party, (ii) is or
becomes part of public knowledge other than as

                                       7

<PAGE>   8
a result of any action or inaction of the Receiving Party, (iii) is obtained by
the Receiving Party from an unrelated third party without a duty of
confidentiality, or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party
without reliance upon or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding
the exclusions hereinbefore set forth, "Confidential Information" includes both
parties software and any information relating to the development, design,
manufacture and specifications of either party's software.

     7.2  RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND DISCLOSURE.     The Receiving Party shall not
use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than
in furtherance of this Agreement and the activities described herein. The
Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party to any third parties except as otherwise permitted hereunder. The
Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party
only to those employees, consultants or sub-Licensees who have a need to know
such Confidential Information and who are bound to retain the confidentiality
thereof under provisions (including, without limitation, provisions relating to
nonuse and nondisclosure) no less restrictive than those required by the
Receiving Party for its own comparable Confidential Information. The Receiving
Party shall maintain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with at
lease the same degree of care it uses to protect its own proprietary
information of a similar nature or sensitivity, but no less than reasonable
care under the circumstances. Any copies of the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information shall be identified as belonging to the Disclosing Party and
prominently marked "Confidential."

     7.3  LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE.     This Agreement will not prevent the
Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal obligation,
provided that, in such event, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the
Disclosing Party to allow intervention, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing
Party to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including application
for a protective order). Each party shall advise the other party in writing of
any misappropriation or misuse of Confidential Information of the other party
of which the notifying party becomes aware.

     7.4  INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.     The parties acknowledge that the Confidential
Information are valuable trade secrets and that any unauthorized use or
disclosure of such information would cause WebXpress the Disclosing Party
irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate.
Accordingly, the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Disclosing Party
shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or
in equity, to seek the issuance of injunctive or other equitable relief.

     7.5  RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.     Upon the expiration or earlier
term of this Agreement and upon request of the Disclosing Party, each party (as
Receiving Party) shall immediately return to the Disclosing Party all
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party embodied in tangible form, or
certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that all such Confidential
Information has been destroyed. The terms of this Section 7 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5)
years.

EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,

EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT

                           SERVICE AND SUPPORT TERMS

WebXpress shall provide product support to Licensee to support its integration
of WebXpress Software into Licensee's applications. Support means that
WebXpress will provide: (a) software upgrades and product enhancements upon
their commercial release, and appropriate documentation with respect thereto,
and (b) technical assistance with respect to the WebXpress Software, including
(i) clarification of functions and features; (ii) clarification of
documentation; (iii) technical support and guidance in the operation of the
WebXpress Software; and (iv) WebXpress Software error analysis and correction.
Major product releases are not covered by the Service and Support contract, and
WebXpress retains the right to determine in its sole discretion if a release
constitutes an upgrade to an existing product or a new product release.
WebXpress will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide error corrections
or work-arounds for the most severe errors as soon as possible and based upon
WebXpress classification of the severity of the error.

Support shall be provided in compliance with Severity definitions and
Escalation guidelines as defined in Sections III and IV of this Schedule.

I.   Engineering Contacts -- Licensee will designate no more than 5 individuals
     who will be responsible for communicating and escalating support issues
     between the companies.

II.  Reporting Issues -- Licensee will report support requests via email or
     phone as convenient. Licensee agrees to provide WebXpress with all the
     necessary information to resolve the reported issue. This may include:
     issue classification, test cases for isolating and reproducing the issue
     and other issue documentation.

III. Phone coverage -- WebXpress's Support Center is staffed Monday through
     Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time. For off-hour emergencies,
     procedures can be customized to Licensee's specific needs upon mutual
     agreement.

IV.  Issue Definition --

     o    SEVERITY 1 -- Issue that impacts Licensee's application development
          schedule, or an End-User's production capability. A high severity
          issue is an error that causes a major feature of Licensee's product
          to be unusable or causes irreparable loss of data and no recovery or
          work-arounds are available.

     o    SEVERITY 2 -- Issue that results when a major feature is operational
          but unstable or unreliable. Such error would not stop development.

     o    SEVERITY 3 -- Enhancements or defects that are targeted for updates,
          but do not result in the loss of functionality in a major feature.

                               FIRST AMENDMENT TO
                         ISV SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

     This first amendment (this "First Amendment") is entered into as of 28th
October 1999, ("First Amendment Date") between WEBXPRESS, A BEA COMPANY
("WebXpress"), a Delaware corporation having a place of business at 550
California Street, 9th floor, San Francisco, California 94104 and CALICO
COMMERCE, INC. ("Licensee"), a Delaware corporation having a place of business
at 333 W. San Carlos Street, Suite 300, San Jose, California 95110.

                                    RECITALS

     A.   WebXpress and Licensee entered into an ISV Software License Agreement,
dated as of April 27, 1999 (the "ISV Agreement"). All capitalized terms used
herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in
the ISV Agreement.

     B.   In accordance with Section 9.12 of the ISV Agreement regarding
amendments to it, the parties now desire to further amend the ISV Agreement as
hereinafter provided.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises included herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

     1.   License to Reproduce and Distribute. The following sentence is
inserted after the first sentence of Section 2.1 of the ISV Agreement:

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee may
          also reproduce, use and distribute the WebXpress Software integrated
          into Integrated Products for purposes of marketing, demonstration,
          training and customer evaluation.

     2.   Royalty Fees. The last sentence of Section 3.1 of the ISV Agreement is
deleted.

     3.   Term. Section 6.1 of the ISV Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

          This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall
          remain in effect for three years from the First Amendment Date unless
          the Agreement is terminated as provided below. Prior to the second
          anniversary of the First Amendment Date, Licensee may request that the
          parties negotiate pricing terms for the years starting on the fourth
          and fifth anniversary of the First Amendment Date, and if the parties
          agree on pricing terms, this Agreement shall continue in effect for an
          additional two years.

     4.   Prepayment and License Fees. The "Server Based Royalties" heading and
"Site License Royalties" heading of Section C.1 of the ISV Agreement are deleted
in their entirety and replaced by the following:

                                       1

<PAGE>   22

          PREPAYMENT AND LICENSE FEES:

          Based on Licensee's commitment to prepay $[***] in License Fees, due
          Net 30 from the First Amendment Date, Licensee may license the
          WebXpress Software listed in Schedule A according to the schedule
          below. This $[***] license fee prepayment is non-cancelable and
          non-refundable. For purposes of determining the appropriate License
          Fee, payment due, WebXpress will include in the cumulative total of
          License Fees paid the $[***] Commitment due under Section C.4 of the
          ISV Agreement, and also the $[***] in prepaid License Fees due under
          this First Amendment, for a total credit of $[***].

          Cumulative License Fees Paid License Fee (percent of Net Revenue)

           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           greater than $[***]          [*]%

          For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Revenues" shall mean all gross
          license revenues generated by the licensing of the Integrated Product,
          as determined when Licensee's customer is obligated to pay. In
          situations where revenue is recognized using the percentage of
          completion method for financial statement purposes, gross license
          revenues are determined when revenue is recognized. "Net Revenues" are
          further defined to mean gross license revenues generated by the
          licensing of the Integrated Product, net of channel discounts (which
          may be a discount off the list price for the Integrated Product or a
          referral fee, but not both) shipping and insurance, and exclusive of
          any applicable sales tax or equivalent. For example, if Licensee sells
          $100 worth of the Integrated Product to an end-user at a 10% discount
          off list (equal to a discounted license fee of $90) and pays a
          referral fee to a channel partner of 10% of the discounted license fee
          (equal to $9), Licensee's royalty to WebXpress will be based on a Net
          Revenue of $81.

          When Integrated Products are sold as a bundle with Licensee software
          that is not integrated with WebXpress Software, Licensee shall
          uniformly allocate discounts on such Integrated Products and other
          software, based on the comparison between the list prices of the
          Integrated Products and other Licensee software included in the
          transaction.

          There is no royalty associated with use of the WebXpress Software for
          marketing, demonstration, training and customer evaluation purposes.

     5.   Development License and Fees. WebXpress grants to Licensee a perpetual
(so long as Licensee is in compliance with this Agreement), non-exclusive,
non-transferable, fee-bearing, unlimited user license to use the Developer
Version of the WebLogic Server (the "DEVELOPER SOFTWARE") solely at Licensee
locations and solely for internal testing and development. Any third party
software products or modules supplied by WebXpress may be used solely with the
Developer Software. Licensee may not disclose the results of software
performance benchmarks to any third party without WebXpress's prior written
consent. Licensee may not use the Developer Software for production use and may
not offer it for resale. The Developer Software license fee

                                       2

<PAGE>   23
shall be $[***]. The annual Developer Software support fee for 5x12 support
shall be $[***] per year during the initial 3 year term and thereafter shall not
increase by more than 10% of the previous year's fee at any renewal for the
following two years.

     6.   Support Fees. The following sentence is added to Section C.2:

          Licensee may purchase 7x24 Extended Support for selected End Users for
          an annual Support Fee of [*]% of the License Fees due for licenses of
          the Integrated Product to such End Users.

     7.   Total Fees Due on First Amendment Date. Licensee shall pay to
WebXpress $[***] in prepaid License Fees, a $[***]Development License Fee, and
an initial $[***] Development Support Fee, for a total of $[***] due Net 30 from
the First Amendment Date. This $[***] payment is non-cancelable and
non-refundable.

     8.   Integrated Products. Schedule B of the ISV Agreement is amended to add
the following to the list of Integrated Products:

          eSales Configurator:

          Configurator is an expert system that matches customer requirements
          with product attributes, guiding customers to products and services
          that meet their needs.

          On written notice to WebXpress, Licensee may extend the terms of this
          ISV Agreement to include new or successor Licensee electronic commerce
          application software products.

     9.   Notices. In Section 9.5 of the ISV Agreement, the corporate name
"Calico Technology, Inc." is amended to be "Calico Commerce, Inc.", and the
corporate contact title is changed from "Director, Contract Operations" to
"Corporate Counsel."

     10.  Support. Schedule E of the ISV Agreement is amended to add the
following sections:

          VI.   International Support. Global support will be provided during
                local time in the place where the support call is made, and
                otherwise in accordance with the support terms in this Schedule
                E.

          VIII. Source Code Escrow. WebXpress shall add Licensee as a
                beneficiary to the WebXpress source code escrow agreement (the
                "Escrow Agreement") with an independent third party escrow agent
                in the business of providing escrow services (the "Escrow
                Agent"), which agreement shall provide that the Escrow Agent
                shall release WebXpress's source code to Licensee if any one of
                the following circumstances remains uncorrected for more than 30
                days:

                (i)  appointment of a trustee under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the
                United States Code;

                (ii) the making by WebXpress of a general assignment for the

provided in this Article III, to the FAIR MARKET VALUE of such LICENSED PRODUCT
or sublicense. Only one royalty payment shall be due with respect to a
particular LICENSED PRODUCT. No multiple royalties shall be payable because any
LICENSED PRODUCT or its manufacture, sale or use is covered by more than one
valid claim in LUCENT's PATENT. No royalty shall be payable with respect to
sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS among GCAST and its SUBSIDIARIES.

3.02    ACCRUAL

(a) Royalty shall accrue upon the receipt of consideration from the first sale,
lease or disposition of a LICENSED PRODUCT by GCAST or its SUBSIDIARIES or upon

Section 2.03. Obligations to pay accrued royalties shall survive termination of
licenses and rights pursuant to Article IV and the expiration of LUCENT's
PATENT.

(b) When a company ceases to be a SUBSIDIARY of GCAST, royalties which have
accrued with respect to any products of such company, but which have not been
paid, shall become payable with GCAST's next scheduled royalty payment.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereunder, royalty shall accrue and be
payable only to the extent that enforcement of GCAST's obligation to pay such
royalty would not be prohibited by applicable law.

3.03    RECORDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a) GCAST shall keep full, clear and accurate records with respect to all
LICENSED PRODUCTS sold, leased or otherwise disposed of and sublicenses granted
pursuant to Section 2.03 and shall furnish any relevant information which LUCENT
may reasonably prescribe from time to time to enable LUCENT to ascertain the
proper royalty due hereunder on account of LICENSED PRODUCTS sold, leased and
otherwise disposed of by GCAST or any of its SUBSIDIARIES and on account of
sublicenses granted, by GCAST hereunder. GCAST shall retain such records for at
least seven (7) years from the granting of each sublicense and from the

**Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to certain
information contained in this document. Confidential portions have been
omitted from the public filing and have been filed separately with the

sale, lease or putting into use of such LICENSED PRODUCTS. No more than once per
year, LUCENT shall have the right through its mutually acceptable accredited
auditors to make an examination, during normal business hours, of all records
and accounts bearing upon the amount of royalty payable to it hereunder provided
that such auditors agree to maintain the confidentiality of such records and
accounts. Prompt adjustment shall be made to compensate for any errors or
omissions disclosed by such examination. In the event that a previous audit has
revealed a deficiency of greater than five percent (5%) of the total amount owed
LUCENT over at least a year, LUCENT may audit GCAST twice per year in the manner
provided above.

(b) Independent of any such examination, LUCENT will credit to GCAST the amount
of any overpayment of royalties made in error which is identified and fully
explained in a written notice to LUCENT delivered within twelve (12) months
after the due date of the payment which included such alleged overpayment,
provided that LUCENT is able to verify, to its own satisfaction, the existence
and extent of the overpayment.

(e) No refund, credit or other adjustment of royalty payments shall be made try
LUCENT except as provided in this Section 3.03 Rights conferred by Section 3.01
or this Section 3.03 shall not be affected by any statement appearing on any
check or other document; except to the extent that any such right is expressly
waived or surrendered by a Party having such right and signing such statement.

3.04    REPORTS AND PAYMENTS

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarterly period ending on
March 31, June 30th, September 30th or December 31st, commencing with the
quarterly period during which this Agreement becomes effective, GCAST shall
furnish to LUCENT at the address specified in Section 5.05 a statement certified

GCAST or its SUBSIDIARIES;

(ii) all sublicenses granted pursuant to Section 2.03 during such quarterly
period;

(iii) the FAIR MARKET VALUES of such LICENSED PRODUCTS and sublicenses; and

(iv) the amount of royalty payable thereon without regard to any credit
available pursuant to Section 3.01 and the net amount payable after application
of such credit.

If no LICENSED PRODUCT has been so sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, or no
sublicense has been granted the statement shall show that fact LUCENT agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the reports provided to it under this Section
3.04(a). However, LUCENT will be entitled to share such reports with any
mutually acceptable accredited auditors acting pursuant to Section 3.03(a).

GCAST may add products and software to the list of LICENSED PRODUCT in Appendix
B by providing written notice to LUCENT in GCAST's statement. Any such product
or software will

be deemed a LICENSED PRODUCT as of the quarterly period immediately preceding
the date of the notice and royalty shall be payable in accordance with this
Section 3.04.

GCAST may delete products and software from the list of LICENSED PRODUCTS in
Appendix B in accordance with Section 4.02(a).

LUCENT may at any time make a written request to GCAST to add a product or
software to the list of LICENSED PRODUCTS. If GCAST refuses LUCENT's request,
GCAST may not thereafter add the requested product or software to the list of
LICENSED PRODUCTS without prior written permission from LUCENT.

(b) Within such sixty (60) days specified in Section 3.04(a) GCAST shall pay in
United States dollars to LUCENT at the address specified in Section 5.05 the
royalties payable in accordance with such statement. Any conversion to United
States dollars shall be at the prevailing rate for bank cable transfers as
quoted for the last day of such quarterly period by leading United States banks
in New York City dealing in the foreign exchange market.

(c) Overdue payments hereunder shall be subject to a late payment charge
calculated at an annual rate of three percentage points (3%) over the prime rate
or successive prime rates (as posted in New York City) during delinquency. If
the amount of such charge exceeds the maximum permitted by law, such charge
shall be reduced to such maximum.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, a failure to meet the minimum annual
royalty obligations set forth in Section 3.01 shall be deemed a voluntary
termination by GCAST provided that LUCENT notifies GCAST of its failure to meet
the minimum annual royalty obligations and that GCAST may, without terminating
this Agreement, pay LUCENT the minimum annual royalty amount within thirty (30)
days after GCAST receives such notice. The effective date of such termination
shall be the first day following the thirty (30) day period set forth in this
Section 4.02(b).

Paul A. Larson, President and CEO
Talarian Corporation
333 Distel Circle
Los Altos, CA 94022

Re:     License Agreement between Lucent and GlobalCast dated July 25, 1997

Dear Mr. Larson:

In connection with the acquisition of assets of GlobalCast Communications, Inc.
("GLOBALCAST") by Talarian Corporation ("TALARIAN"), we understand that TALARIAN
will succeed to the rights, title and interest of GLOBALCAST with respect to the
License Agreement dated July 25, 1997 as amended by Amendment No. 1 effective
January 28, 1998 (together referred to herein as the "GlobalCast License")
between GLOBALCAST and Lucent Technologies Inc. ("LUCENT"). Pursuant to
TALARIAN's request for clarifications and modifications to the GlobalCast
License, and subject to written concurrence as indicated by the signatures
below, in consideration for the receipt of 52,400 shares of TALARIAN common
stock as required by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement between LUCENT and
TALARIAN dated and closing on the date hereof, and contingent upon the closing
of the asset sale contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement between
GLOBALCAST and TALARIAN and the closing of the common stock purchase
contemplated by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement between LUCENT and TALARIAN,
LUCENT and TALARIAN agree as follows:

1. This Letter Agreement is effective as of the closing of the asset sale
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the closing of the common stock
purchase contemplated by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

2. All capitalized terms not defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the
meaning given to them in the GlobalCast License. Except as otherwise
specifically modified or amended herein, all of the provisions in the GlobalCast
License apply to this Letter Agreement and remain in full force and effect as
modified hereby between LUCENT and TALARIAN as successor to GLOBALCAST.

3. LUCENT retains ownership of the LICENSED SOFTWARE. TALARIAN's ownership
interest in any and all ADAPTATIONS or CUSTOMER SOFTWARE is limited solely to
the additions (i.e., contributions) made by TALARIAN (or GLOBALCAST) to the
LICENSED SOFTWARE or to the additions made by TALARIAN (or GLOBALCAST) to
ADAPTATIONS furnished by LUCENT. TALARIAN will own any code written by or on
behalf of it or GLOBALCAST; provided, however, that any and all ADAPTATIONS and
CUSTOMER SOFTWARE developed by any party (including TALARIAN, GLOBALCAST or
their licensees) are subject in their entirety to LUCENT's underlying
intellectual property rights.

4. As used herein in this Letter Agreement, the "TALARIAN End User License
Agreement" means the TALARIAN Corporation End User Terms and Conditions, except
for

<PAGE>   28

Sections 7 and 11 of such Agreement, provided in Exhibit A. To the extent that
the TALARIAN End User License Agreement conflicts with the GlobalCast License
(as amended herein), then the terms of the GlobalCast License shall apply.

5. Upon termination of the sole licensee period provided in Section 1.04 of the
GlobalCast License, LUCENT's obligations under Section 2.05 of such license
terminate.

6. The following Section 4.02(d) is added to the end of Section 4.02 of the
GlobalCast License:

        (d) If TALARIAN elects to terminate all of the license rights granted to
        it hereunder, then TALARIAN will have no further obligations hereunder
        except that the obligations of TALARIAN under Sections 2.03 (c), 2.04
        (b) and (c), 2.08, 3.02 (as to royalties accrued prior to the
        termination date), 3.03, 3.04 (as to each quarterly period while this
        Agreement is in effect), 4.02(c), 5.03 (other than (c), (d) and (e)),
        and 5.06 survive expiry or termination of this Agreement for whatever
        reason. Termination or expiry of this Agreement for any reason does not
        affect any rights of LUCENT which survive termination pursuant to the
        previous sentence, or which relate to or which may arise at any future
        time from any breach or nonperformance of obligations under this
        Agreement occurring prior to the termination or expiry.

7. The following is added to the end of Section 5.04 of the GlobalCast License:

        TALARIAN may not transfer or assign, whether as a result of a merger,
        acquisition, or otherwise, the GlobalCast License (as modified herein)
        to [ ** ] or [ ** ] or to any of their SUBSIDIARIES without the prior
        written consent of LUCENT.

8. The text of Section 5.07 of the GlobalCast License is deleted and the
following is inserted:

        (a) TALARIAN agrees that LUCENT may purchase unlimited quantities of
GCAST SOFTWARE (in whatever form) that provides multicast transport layer
delivery of information as a primary function (the "Protocol Product") at no
charge for the first forty-eight (48) months after the furnishing of LICENSED
SOFTWARE pursuant to Section 2.01 and at a price of [ ** ] percent ([ ** ]%) of
a [ ** ] price thereafter. Each copy of the Protocol Product may be purchased
for internal use by LUCENT (subject to the TALARIAN End User License Agreement)
and for redistribution (directly or indirectly through subdistributors that
agree to provisions no less protective of TALARIAN than those set forth in the
TALARIAN End User License Agreement) to LUCENT customers in the "communications
industry" as defined in Section 2.05 and to other LUCENT customers when sold as
a component in a LUCENT product to be resold to LUCENT customers provided that
the LUCENT product cannot serve as a reasonable cost-competitive alternative to
RMTP or CUSTOMER SOFTWARE that includes no application layer functions. LUCENT
may not sublicense any of the rights granted to it under this Section 5.07(a).

        (b) TALARIAN agrees that LUCENT may purchase CUSTOMER SOFTWARE developed
by either GLOBALCAST or TALARIAN for LUCENT's internal use subject to the

**Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to certain
information contained in this document. Confidential portions have been
omitted from the public filing and have been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>   29

TALARIAN End User License Agreement, which software is an application product at
a price that is no higher than the price charged to other TALARIAN customers for
similar quantities and terms.

        (c) TALARIAN agrees that LUCENT may purchase all other products (not
subject to Section 5.07(a) or (b)) that are made generally commercially
available by TALARIAN, in whatever form the products are so made available and
whether or not such products include or are based on LICENSED SOFTWARE, for
LUCENT's internal use, subject to the TALARIAN End User License Agreement, at a
BEST END USER PRICE.

        (d) In the event (i) LUCENT licenses LUCENT'S PATENT to a third party
after the Sole License Period defined in Section 1.04 and (ii) RMTP or an RMTP
derivative has not been accepted as a standard by the IETF, then LUCENT's
ability to purchase the Protocol Product at no cost or at a price of [ ** ]
percent ([ ** ]%) of a [ ** ] price under Section 5.07(a) shall terminate.
LUCENT shall be entitled to purchase the Protocol Product at a BEST END USER
PRICE for any purpose.

        (e) All references in this Section 5.07 to the "purchase" of software
shall be construed as references to the purchase of the medium upon which such
software is furnished. The software itself is subject to license and not to
sale.

9. A company which succeeds to the rights of TALARIAN with respect to the
GlobalCast License and this Letter Agreement as a result of an acquisition or
merger involving TALARIAN may decide to terminate its obligations under Section
5.07 of the GlobalCast License. In this event, effective as of the date of such
acquisition or merger (unless otherwise provided for herein), the GlobalCast
License shall be modified as follows:

        (i)    LUCENT's rights to purchase the software at the prices set forth
               in Section 5.07 terminate after LUCENT is afforded an opportunity
               to exercise the rights granted to LUCENT under that Section for a
               period of ninety (90) days, such period commencing the day after
               LUCENT receives notification to such effect from the successor to
               TALARIAN;

        (ii)   the exclusivity of TALARIAN (successor)'s license provided for in
               Section 1.04 (Sole License Period) terminates;

        (iii)  LUCENT's obligations under Section 2.05 and, for any licenses
               entered into after such acquisition or merger, Section 2.06
               terminate;

        (iv)   rights granted under Section 2.02 are amended such that: a) no
               new GCAST SOFTWARE may be prepared and b) such rights are
               effective only with respect to ADAPTATIONS developed by TALARIAN
               or GLOBALCAST prior to such acquisition or merger;

        (v)    rights granted under Section 2.03 are amended so that: a) such
               rights are effective only with respect to ADAPTATIONS developed
               by TALARIAN or GLOBALCAST prior to such acquisition or merger and
               b) any new SUBLICENSEES empowered after such acquisition or
               merger shall only have

**Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to certain
information contained in this document. Confidential portions have been
omitted from the public filing and have been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>   30

               rights with respect to ADAPTATIONS developed by TALARIAN or
               GLOBAL CAST prior to such acquisition or merger and shall not be
               licensed to create new SUBLICENSEE ADAPTATIONS or CUSTOMER
               SOFTWARE; and

        (vi)   rights granted under Sections 2.04 are amended so that such
               rights are effective only with respect to CUSTOMER SOFTWARE
               developed by TALARIAN or GLOBALCAST prior to such acquisition or
               merger.

10. LUCENT acknowledges that it has been informed that TALARIAN has previously
entered into a Software License Agreement dated May 18, 1998 with GLOBALCAST
(the "Talarian/Globalcast Agreement") and that TALARIAN represents that the
Talarian/Globalcast Agreement is currently valid and enforceable. Subject to
this representation by TALARIAN, Lucent agrees that neither this Letter
Agreement nor the anticipated assignment of the Globalcast License to TALARIAN
is intended to affect the continuing validity and enforceability of the
Talarian/Globalcast Agreement (to the extent that it is valid and enforceable by
law), provided that TALARIAN agrees that:

        (a) LUCENT is not a party to the Talarian/Globalcast Agreement and has
not nor will not succeed to any obligations or liabilities of GLOBALCAST with
respect to the Talarian/Globalcast Agreement, specifically including, but not
limited to, obligations under Sections 6.1 (Warranties) and 6.3 (Infringement
Indemnity); and

        (b) LUCENT is not in any way obligated or liable to TALARIAN under the
Talarian/Globalcast Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent that (i) LUCENT's
LICENSED SOFTWARE as defined in the Globalcast License is included in the
"Licensed Software" and "Documentation" as defined in the Talarian/Globalcast
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Globalcast Licensed Software" and
"Globalcast Documentation", respectively), and (ii) TALARIAN is not in breach of
any obligations it assumed for the benefit of LUCENT under the
Talarian/Globalcast Agreement, LUCENT acknowledges and will not interfere with
the following rights granted to TALARIAN, such rights to survive any termination
of the GlobalCast License or this Letter Agreement or the assignment of the
GlobalCast License to TALARIAN, and which rights are assignable without
restriction, notwithstanding Section 7 of this Letter Agreement:

        (x) a fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, nontransferable,
perpetual, worldwide license to copy, use, modify, create derivative works based
upon the included Lucent's Licensed Software for the sole purpose of
incorporating the Globalcast Licensed Software and the Globalcast Documentation
into TALARIAN's software products (as per Section 3.1 of the Talarian/Globalcast
Agreement), and

        (y) a fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, nontransferable,
perpetual, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to copy, sell,
transmit and distribute and compile (directly or indirectly through dealers,
distributors, VARs, OEMs and other third parties) the source code form of the
included Lucent's Licensed Software in connection with the use, sale,
distribution,

<PAGE>   31

support or maintenance of the TALARIAN software products incorporating the
Globalcast Licensed Software (as per Section 3.2 of the Talarian/Globalcast
Agreement).

TALARIAN shall not be obligated to pay royalties to LUCENT for rights that
TALARIAN has under Section 10 (x) and (y) of this Letter Agreement above. For
clarity purposes, no royalty shall be payable under Section 3.01(b) of the
GlobalCast License for any rights set forth in such Section 10 (x) and (y)
above.

If the foregoing is acceptable to TALARIAN Corporation, please sign and return
the enclosed copy of this Letter Agreement.

                                     Very truly yours,

                                     /s/ James K. Treany, for

                                     Gene G. Partlow
