                  (iv)     ESTIMATED "ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR BUILDING
                           B-1": $212,132.76 estimated for calendar year 2001
                           (based on $4.63 per rentable square foot), payable in
                           monthly installments of $ 17,677.73, subject to
                           adjustment ('9(a))"

From and after the Commencement Date for Building B-1, Minimum Annual Rent shall
mean the Building A Minimum Annual Rent plus the Building B-1 Minimum Armnal
Rent, and Tenant shall pay annual Operating Expenses with respect to the
Building A Premises and the Building B-1 Premises.

The first "lease year" for the Building B-1 Premises means the period of 12
consecutive full calendar months commencing on the Commencement Date for
Building B-1 (including for the first lease year, if the Commencement Date is
not the first day of the month, any partial month from the Commencement Date
until the first day of the first full calendar month thereafter). Each
subsequent "lease year" for the Building B-1 Premises means each period of 12
full calendar months thereafter during the Term.

         3. PROPORTIONATE SHARE. Section l(e) is hereby mod)fied to include the
following: "Tenant's Proportionate Share of Building B-1 will be 99.36%.
Landlord shall treat the entire Project, or such Buildings within the Project as
Landlord shall from time to time own, manage or operate, as a single unified
project for purposes of determining and allocating Operating Expenses. Operating
Expenses shall include the aggregate of all expenses properly includable in
Operating Expenses under this lease for all buildings and their attendant common
areas owned, managed or operated by Landlord in the Project, and Tenant's
Proportionate Share shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the rentable square footage of the Premises, and the denominator of which
shall be the rentable square footage of all buildings owned, managed or operated
by Landlord in the Project. If, in the future any building within the Project
ceases to be owned, managed or operated by Landlord and therefore ceases to be
included in the Project for purposes of determining and allocating Operating
Expenses, and in the event such building nevertheless continues to use common
amenities of the Project (such as the drainage pond, for example) then there
shall be excluded from Project Operating Expenses that portion of the expense of
operating and maintaining the amenity or amenities that is reasonably and
equitably attributable to the use thereof by such building, and no other
expenses of owning, managing or operating any such building shall be included in
Operating Expenses allocated to the Premises; moreover, all Operating Expenses
allocated to the Premises shall be fairly and equitably determined, and shall be
consistent with, and without duplication of, allocations to all other buildings
in the Project. Landlord will notify Tenant within 30 days in the event any
building in the Project ceases to be owned, managed or operated by Landlord."

         4. COMMENCEMENT DATE; CONSTRUCTION.

                  4.1 The Commencement Date for Building B-1 will be the later
of (i) May 1, 2001 or (ii) the date of substantial completion of the Building
B-1 Base Building and Building B-1 Site Improvements. If construction of the
Building B-1 Base Building is delayed by any delay caused by Tenant, the
Commencement Date shall be the date this Lease would have commenced but for such
delay. The term of this Lease with respect to Building B-1 shall expire on
November 30, 2009, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of the
Lease.

                  4.2 Landlord will construct the base building for Building B-1
("Building B-l Base Building") and related site improvements, including, but not
limited to, grading, parking areas, access drives, sidewalks, monument signs and
landscaping (the "Building B-1 Site Improvements") substantially in accordance
with the Plans described on Exhibit B-2 attached hereto in accordance with the
terms of this Section 4. All construction shall be done at Landlords expense in
a good and workmanlike manner, free of mechanic's liens that are not promptly
discharged, and shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws
codes, regulations, rules and requirements of the governmental authorities
having jurisdiction, as applied, enforced and interpreted as of the date the
building permit is issued, including, but not limited to, all requirements of
Title III of the ADA as applicable to commercial facilities. The foregoing
notwithstanding, Tenant has requested, and Landlord has agreed, that Landlord
not include in the Building B-1 Base Building the following items shown on the
Plans: (i) the fireplace, (ii) the ceiling tile and grid, and (iii) the 2 x 4
light fixtures. In consideration of this reduction in the scope of the Building
B-1 Base Building, Landlord shall provide Tenant the credit described in Section
4.7 below.

                  4.3 For purposes of this Section 4, "substantial completion"
shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date Landlord provides to Tenant a
notice of substantial completion enclosing: (1) a certificate of substantial
completion signed by Landlords architect and certifying to Tenant that the
Building B-l Base Building and Building B-1 Site Improvements have been
completed in accordance with the Plans except for enumerated punch list items,
and (2) a copy of a certificate of occupancy (temporary or permanent) issued by
the City of Eden Prairie for the Building B-1 Base Building. The foregoing
notwithstanding, substantial completion shall not be deemed to occur unless the
minimum requirements listed on attached C-2 are satisfied. Completion of
landscaping, monument signs, and completion of the final wearing course of the
parking lot shall not be deemed requirements of substantial completion, but
Landlord shall nevertheless complete such items following substantial completion
with reasonable diligence (but no later than September 1, 2001 unless Landlord
and Tenant otherwise agree) in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.2
above. Moreover, clause (2) in the first sentence of this paragraph
notwithstanding, and provided that all other conditions of substantial
completion set out in this paragraph are satisfied, the Building B-1 Base
Building and Building B-1 Site Improvements shall be deemed substantially
complete if Landlord has satisfied all conditions to obtaining a certificate of
occupancy as such conditions pertain to Landlords construction obligations, and
the sole reason for a delay in the issuance of such a certificate is unfinished
Tenant improvements or fixturing.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         Upon Landlords delivery to Tenant of a proper notice of substantial
completion, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly perform an inspection of the
Building B-1 Base Building and identify any incomplete items or other elements
of work not materially conforming to the Plans. The list resulting from such
inspection shall be deemed the "punch list." If Landlord has not completed the
punch list items within 45 days of substantial completion or within such
additional reasonable time as may be necessary provided Landlord is proceeding
with all due diligence to cause such punch list items to be corrected, then
Tenant may complete such punch list items and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant
for Tenants cost of completion, plus an administrative fee of 10% of the cost
thereof.

                  4.4 CERTIFICATION AS TO "AS BUILT" SQUARE FOOTAGE. Prior to
the Commencement Date, Landlord will cause Landlords architect to determine the
actual rentable square footage of Building B-1 and of the Building B-1 Premises
as constructed, and to deliver to Landlord and Tenant an appropriate certificate
certifying to the as-built rentable square footage. Such certificate will be
conclusive unless objected to by Landlord or Tenant by written notice to the
other party given within 30 days after receipt of the certificate. If the
as-built rentable square footage of the Building B-1 Premises is greater than or
less than the rentable square footage stipulated in Section 1.1 hereof, the
Minimum Annual Rent shall be adjusted, as appropriate, based on the Minimum
Annual Rent Per Square Foot set forth in Section 2 hereof. In such event,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease setting forth
the as-built rentable square footage of the Building B-1 Premises, the adjusted
schedule of Minimum Annual Rent, and any adjustment to Tenant's Proportionate
Share. Rentable square footage shall be measured in accordance with Building
Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) measurement standards for full floor
tenants.

                  4.5 LANDLORD'S CONSTRUCTION WARRANTY. Landlord warrants to
Tenant for a period commencing on the date of substantial completion of the
Building B-1 Base Building and Building B-1 Site Improvements and ending one
year later that the Building B-1 Base Building and Building B-1 Site
Improvements will be free from improper or defective workmanship and materials.
Landlord further warrants to Tenant for a period commencing on the date of
substantial completion of the Building B-1 Base Building and Building B-1 Site
Improvements and ending one year later that there will be no material defect in
the Building B-1 Base Building or Building B-1 Site Improvements, or any portion
thereof, caused by a failure to design the Building B-1 Base Building or
Building B-1 Site Improvements, or any portion thereof, in accordance with all
applicable codes, laws, ordinances, regulations and professional standards of
care in force and as interpreted as of the date of this Agreement.

                  4.6 INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. Sections 4, 5, 6(a), 32, and 37
of the Lease do not apply to Building B-1.

                  4.7 CREDITS AND DEBITS. In consideration of the Landlord's
agreement to extend the Commencement Date of this Lease for the Building B-1
Premises to May 1, 2001 as provided above, Tenant has agreed to pay to Landlord
$15,870 to compensate Landlord for Landlord's additional cost of carry. In
consideration of the reduction in the scope of the Building B-I Base Building
described at the end of Section 4.2 above, Landlord has agreed to give Tenant a
credit of $59,690. Accordingly, the net credit to Tenant is $43,820. This credit
will be provided to Tenant by Landlord paying on Tenant's behalf, or causing to
be paid on Tenant's behalf, $43,820 to Tenant's Initial Tenant Improvements
general contractor to be applied against the cost of the Initial Tenant
Improvements.

         5. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS.

                  5.1 BUILDING B-1 BASE BUILDING STATUS; ACCESS FOR TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS. From and after the date of this Amendment (the "Tenant Access
Date"), Tenant and Tenant's Agents shall have continuous non-exclusive access to
Building B-l, at Tenant's own risk, expense and responsibility, for the
construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements (defined below) without material
interference from Landlord or Landlord's Agents. Tenant and Tenant's Agents will
consult and cooperate with Landlord's general contractor regarding the
scheduling of Tenant's work so as to coordinate Tenant's activities after the
Tenant Access Date with any Building B-1 Base Building work still being
performed by Landlord's general contractor and to prevent any interference on
the part of Landlord's Agents with Tenant's work and on the part of Tenant's
Agents with Landlord's work.

         In connection with such access prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant
shall abide by the terms and conditions of this Lease including carrying the
insurance specified by the Lease, as if the term of this Lease had already
commenced, except that Tenant shall have no obligation to pay the Minimum Annual
Rent, Annual Operating Expenses or utilities until the Commencement Date.

         During such pre-Commencement Date access, Landlord shall provide
Tenant, at Tenant's expense, utilities, heat, air conditioning (when reasonably
required by Tenant), general building security, and staging areas. Tenant shall
be responsible at its expense for all trash removal directly related to the
construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements or Tenants furnishing and
equipping of Building B-l.

                  5.2 TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. The initial tenant improvements in
and to Building B-1 required by Tenant (including but not limited to a link
between Building A and Building B-1) (the "Link") shall be completed by Tenant
and its contractor(s), at Tenants sole expense, in accordance with plans and
specifications approved in writing by Landlord, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (the "Initial Tenant
Improvements"). Tenant shall comply with Sections 12 and 13 of the Lease and the
following conditions with respect to the Initial Tenant Improvements:

                           5.2.1 at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of
construction, Tenant shall obtain Landlords approval of Tenants general
contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed;

                           5.2.2 at least ten (l 0) days prior to commencement
of construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance for
each of Tenants contractors evidencing adequate insurance coverage naming
Landlord as additional insured;

<PAGE>

                           5.2.3 all construction shall be done in a good and
workmanlike manner and shall comply at the time of completion with all Laws and
Requirements (as defined in Section 10(a) of the lease). Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord copies of all certificates of occupancy, permits and licenses required
to be issued by any authority in connection with Tenants construction.

         6. SIGNS. Subparagraphs (a) and (b) of the 2nd paragraph and all of the
5th paragraph of Section 11 are deleted and replaced with the following
language:

                  "For each of Building A and Building B-1, either:

                  (a) one sign on the exterior of the Building.

                  (b) One monument sign to be located outside the Building in
         the area between the parking lot curb line and Building A or Building
         B-1, as applicable, it being agreed that so long as no other tenant in
         the Project shall construct signs between the street and the outside
         edge of the parking lot curb (the "Park Perimeter"), Tenant's monument
         signage shall not be placed in the Park Perimeter."

         7. SURRENDER. The following language is hereby added to Section 24(a)
of the Lease: "Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to remove the Link at
the expiration or termination of this Lease, or, if earlier, at the expiration
or termination of this Lease with respect to the entire B-1 Building Premises.
If Landlord desires to exercise its option to require Tenant to remove the Link,
Landlord must give Tenant written notice to remove the Link on or before the
date of such expiration or termination."

         8. EXTENSION OPTION. Section 31 of the Lease is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "31. OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Provided that at the time of such
         notice of exercise and at the time of the commencement of the
         applicable extension term, there exists no monetary default (beyond any
         applicable notice and cure period in this Lease) and no default
         described in Section 26(a)(iv), Tenant shall have the right and option,
         exercisable by giving Landlord prior written notice thereof at least
         nine (9) months in advance of the applicable Expiration Date, to extend
         the Term (for all or a portion of the Premises as described in
         subsection (d) below) for up to three (3) additional consecutive
         periods of thirty-six (36) months each, the f~rst such extended term or
         any subsequent extended term to begin on the Expiration Date of the
         initial Term or the Expiration Date of any previous extended term, as
         the case may be. Such extension shall be under the same terms and
         conditions as provided in this Lease except as follows:

         (a) all references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to mean
         the Term as extended pursuant to this Section;

         (b) there shall be no further options to extend the Term except as
         expressly provided herein;

                                        7
<PAGE>

         (c) throughout each extension term, the Minimum Annual Rent for the
         respective Premises shall continue to increase by 2% per respective
         lease year, so that at the beginning of each lease year (based on the
         respective commencement dates for the respective portions of the
         Premises [e.g. the Building B-1 Premises, the Building A Premises, and
         any future Building A expansion premises, as applicable]), the Minimum
         AnnualRent for such Premises shall increase to 102% of the Minimum
         Annual Rent payable for such Premises in the preceding lease year;

         (d) With respect to any extension option, Tenant may elect to extend
         this Lease, on the terms and conditions stated above, for all or less
         than all of the Premises then being leased by Tenant under this Lease.
         If Tenant desires to extend this Lease for less than the entire
         Premises then being leased by Tenant, Tenant shall include in its
         extension notice a detailed description of any space as to which Tenant
         is not extending (the "Surrendered Space"). The following provisions
         shall apply to any surrender of space pursuant to an extension of this
         Lease on less than the entire Premises: (1) Tenant must surrender all
         space in Building B-1 prior to, or simultaneously with, surrendering
         any space in Building A, (2) with respect to the Building B-1 Premises,
         space must be surrendered working from north to south (i.e. starting
         with the portion of the Building B-1 Premises furthestfrom the planned
         Link), (3) with respect to the Building B-1 Premises, Tenant may
         surrender the space in up to two increments, the first increment must
         be either (i) the approximately 25,187 rentable square feet depicted on
         Exhibit E-2 or (ii) the entire Building B-l Premises, and the second
         increment (which would apply only in the event Tenant surrendered less
         than all of Building B-1 in connection with a prior Lease extension)
         must be the remainder of the Building B-1 Premises, and (4) with
         respect to the Building A Premises, in no event shall Tenant extend
         with respect to less than 20,000 rentable square feet, and in no event
         shall Tenant leave Landlord with less than 20,000 rentable square feet
         within Building A. Moreover, any Surrendered Space must be (1) Leasable
         Space (as that term is defined below) and (2) must be surrendered to
         Landlord in the condition required under this Lease with respect to
         surrender of space at the expiration or termination of this Lease. If
         Tenant so extends for less than all of the then Premises, Tenant and
         Landlord shall each pay one-half of the cost of constructing any
         demising wall between the space surrendered and the Premises retained
         by Tenant.

         'Leasable Space' as used in this Lease means space that is located,
         configured and sized in such a manner that, in Landlords reasonable
         judgment, such space has appropriate access to entrances and restroom
         facilities, is useable for general office purposes and is marketable to
         a general office user.

         (e) if Tenant should exercise the extension option(s), at the request
         of either party Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an
         amendment to the Lease documenting the terms, covenants and conditions
         applicable to the extension term, as provided herein."

         8. EXPANSION OPTION; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Section 32 of the Lease
(entitled "Expansion Option") is hereby deleted. Tenant acknowledges that it has
waived its right of first offer (as described in Section 33 of the Lease) with
respect to the initial leasing of Buildings B-2, C, D, and E as shown on the
Site Plan.

                                       8

         9. PARKING. The 1st sentence of Section 34 of the Lease is hereby
modified to read as follows: "Landlord shall provide and Tenant shall be
entitled to the use of, 4.81 parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet
of the Premises." Section 5 of the First Amendment is hereby deleted. Landlord
has provided Tenant a total of 302 spaces for the Building A Premises, as shown
on the Site Plan; Landlord will preserve the ability to expand the Building A
parking in the area identified as "Building A Expansion Parking" on the Site
Plan attached to this Amendment as Exhibit A-2 in order to maintain a ratio of
no less than 4.81 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet in the event Tenant
exercises its expansion option provided for in Section 9 of the First Amendment
to this Lease. The Building A expansion parking will be constructed by Landlord
as part of any expansion of Building A, and the cost thereof shall be included
in Building A Expansion Costs, all in accordance with the provisions of the
First Amendment. Landlord will provide, within the boundaries of the Building
B-1 Land, at least 4.81 parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of
the Building B-1 Premises, for a total of at least 220 spaces, as shown on the
Site Plan. In the event Tenant contracts its Premises pursuant to any provision
of this Lease, the parking available to Tenant shall be reduced to an amount
equal to 4.81 spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of the contracted
Premises.

         10. TENANT'S OPTION TO TERMINATE. Section 36 of the Lease is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "Tenant shall have the right and option to terminate this
         Lease effective as of April 30, 2007, exercisable by giving Landlord a
         minimum of nine (9) months prior written notice thereof and by paying
         Landlord on the effective date of termination a sum equal to (i) the
         total rentable square feet of the Premises (including the entire
         Building A Premises and Building B-1 Premises), multiplied by (ii)
         $4.86. Tenant shall pay all Rent under the Lease and abide by all of
         the terms and conditions of the Lease through and including such early
         termination date."

         11. EXTENSION OF BUILDING A LEASE. The initial Term of this Lease for
the Building A Premises is hereby extended by 2 months, so as to expire on
November 30, 2009. Minimum Annual Rent for October and November 2009 for the
Building A Premises (other than space, if any, expanded into pursuant to the
First Amendment to this Lease) shall be equal to $13.958 per rentable square
foot (102% of the Minimum Annual Rent payable at the end of the 10th lease year
for the Building A Premises). In the event this lease is extended with respect
to the Building A Premises or any portion thereof, Minimum Annual Rent for the
Building A Premises shall remain at $ 13.958 per rentable square foot for the
balance of the lease year in which the first extension term commences, and
thereafter shall escalate by 2% per lease year as provided in Section 31 of the
Lease (as restated in this Second Amendment). The "lease year" for the Building
A Premises throughout the term and all extension terms shall remain October 1
through September 30. For example, if Tenant exercises its first extension
option, Minimum Annual Rent shall remain at $ 13.958 per rentable square foot
for the period of December 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, and shall
increase by 2% at the beginning of the 11th lease year (October 1, 2010) and at
the beginning of each lease year thereafter within the term.

                            THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

                  This Amendment ("Amendment") is made as of the 30th day of
April, 2001 by and between LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Pennsylvania
limited partnership ("Landlord"), and ONTRACK DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Minnesota corporation ("Tenant").

BACKGROUND:

         A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated as of
September 21, 1998, as amended by First Amendment to Lease dated January 26, l
999 and Second Amendment to Lease (the "Second Amendment") dated February 26,
2001 (collectively, the "Lease") for certain premises located at 9023 Columbine

"Campus") and known as Building A as shown on the Site Plan (as defined in the
Second Amendment) and for certain premises located at 8995 Columbine Road in the
Campus and known as Building B-l as shown on the Site Plan.

         B. Tenant is constructing a Link (as defined in the Second Amendment)
between Building A and Building B-1 (as shown on the Site Plan) and since the
Link will encroach on a public utilities easement, Landlord requires certain
protections from Tenant.

         C. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as provided below.

AMENDMENT:

                  Now therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and legal sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, the parties
agree as follows:

         1. ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT. Tenant acknowledges that the Link will be
constructed over a public utilities easement in favor of the City of Eden
Prairie (the "City"). The City has required Landlord to enter into an
Encroachment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Encroachment Agreement"). Tenant agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of
the Encroachment Agreement, including but not limited to the construction,
maintenance, repair, and reimbursement obligations of Landlord as described in
the Encroachment Agreement. Except to the extent arising out of Landlord's
negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,
liabilities, costs and expense (including reasonable fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) arising from and after the date hereof, out of, or in
connection with the Encroachment Agreement or the construction, maintenance,
repair, replacement, use, or operation of the Link.

         2. LEASE IN FULL FORCE. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment,
all of the terms and conditions the Lease remain unmodified and continue in full
force and effect. All capitalized terms used herein and not separately defined
herein shall bear the meaning assigned to them in the Lease.

                             ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT is made this ____ day of ____________,
2001, by and between Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania
limited partnership, hereinafter referred to as "Liberty," and the City of Eden
Prairie, a Minnesota municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "City";

         WHEREAS, Liberty is the fee owner of land located in Hennepin County,
Minnesota, more fully described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part
hereof, and said land hereinafter referred to as "the Property"; and,

         WHEREAS, City has an easement in the Property as described on Exhibit B

to as "the Easement"; and,

         WHEREAS, Liberty desires to construct a covered walkway on the Property

part hereof, and said walkway hereinafter referred to as "the Walkway"; and,

         WHEREAS, Liberty and City wish to enter into an agreement which will
allow Liberty to construct, maintain, and use the Walkway;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein, it
is agreed by the parties as follows:

         1.       GRANT OF ENCROACHMENT. City covenants and agrees that: a)
                  Liberty shall have the right to construct the Walkway so that
                  it encroaches upon the Easement; b) so long as the Walkway
                  shall remain standing, Liberty shall have the right to have
                  the Walkway encroach upon the Easement; and c) Liberty shall
                  have the right to use the Walkway for pedestrian travel.

         2.       CONSTRUCTION. Liberty shall be responsible for all
                  construction costs of the Walkway. The plans and
                  specifications for the WalLway must be approved by the City
                  before construction and the Walkway shall be designed to
                  bridge the existing public utility pipes in the Easement. The
                  City may require inspections of the utilities before, during,
                  and after construction of the Walkway.

<PAGE>

         3.       MAINTENANCE. Liberty shall be responsible for all
                  construction, maintenance, upkeep, repair, and replacement
                  costs for the Walkway and Walkway components as may be
                  necessary from time to time.

         4.       WAIVER. City shall not be responsible for any damage to the
                  Walkway caused by the public utilities contained in the
                  Easement or caused by the City in repairing or maintaining the
                  public utilities contained in the Easement. Liberty hereby
                  waives any such claims it may have or hereafter acquire
                  against the City.

         5.       DURATION OF ENCROACHMENT. The Encroachment shall be perpetual,
                  shall run with the land and shall be binding upon both parties
                  and their successors and assigns.

         6.       NONEXCLUSIVE. The Encroachment shall be nonexclusive.

         7.       INTERFERENCE. Liberty's construction, maintenance, and use of
                  the Walkway shall in no way interfere with the City's Easement
                  or the public utilities contained therein. In the event that
                  the Walkway in any way interferes with or damages the
                  Easement, or public utilities contained therein, Liberty shall
                  reimburse the City for all costs and expenses, including
                  attorney fees, reasonably incurred to eliminate the
                  interference or repair any damage done to the Easement or
                  utilities.

         8.       LIMITATIONS. Nothing contained herein shall impair any right
                  of City now held or hereafter acquired to construct or
                  maintain public utilities in or on the Easement. Nothing
                  contained in this Agreement shall be construed or be deemed to
                  constitute a dedication, express or implied, of any part of
                  the Encroachment to or for any public use whatsoever.

            [THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]

                              SEPARATION AGREEMENT

         This Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 12th day of February, 2001 between Lee B. Lewis ("Lewis")
and ONTRACK Data International, Inc. (the "Company"), with regard to the
following:

         WHEREAS, Lewis has been employed by the Company since February 11,
1999;

         WHEREAS Lewis' employment with the Company will end on December 31,
2001, with his resignation dated the date hereof and effective December 31,
2001;

         WHEREAS the parties agreed Lewis would be paid his normal salary and
benefits through December 31, 2001 as set forth in paragraph 1 herein;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Lewis desire to amicably conclude Lewis'
employment with the Company and resolve all disputes, if any, and other
employment issues with the Company arising out of his employment, or the end of
his employment relationship with the Company, with the understanding that such
resolution shall not constitute evidence of or be an admission of wrongful
conduct, liability, or fault on the part of either Lewis or the Company; and

         WHEREAS, Lewis agrees to a full and final settlement of all employee
issues with the Company, whether disputed or not;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises of the parties hereto
and payments related below and to fully and completely resolve and conclude his
employment with the Company, the parties agree as follows:

                  1. Payment and Duties. If Lewis signs this Separation
Agreement and the Release attached as Exhibit "A," does not exercise his right
to rescind the Separation Agreement or Release as allowed by paragraph 4 below,
and fulfills all of his obligations under this Separation Agreement, the Company
will pay to Lewis 100% of his base salary ($10,834 per month) , through December
31, 2001, with appropriate withholdings as required by law. These payments are
both in consideration of the consultation duties set forth hereinafter and in
settlement and consideration for the release of any and all claims, asserted or
unasserted, arising out of or relating in any way to Lewis' employment, or the
end of his employment relationship with the Company, and shall extinguish all
claims that Lewis may have against the Company. Lewis' duties from and after the
date hereof, until and through December 31, 2001, shall be that of a consultant
for the Company. The Company shall be entitled to call upon Lewis at reasonable
times with reasonable notice (but only during normal business days and hours),
and by mutual agreement, during the period from the date hereof through the
effective date of his resignation of employment, December 31, 2001. The Company
shall designate from time to time an executive contact to interface with Lewis
during this period; the first Company contact-designee under this Agreement

                                       1
<PAGE>

shall be John M. Bujan, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Lewis
will be assigned tasks and do only tasks as assigned in writing from time to
time by said executive contact or the Company's board of directors and otherwise
will not act on behalf of the Company.

                  2. Release of Claims. In consideration of the payments by the
Company as set forth in paragraph 1 of this Separation Agreement, and the
provisions of this Separation Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, Lewis, for himself, his heirs, executors, and assigns, does
hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company
and any and all of its parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated
and predecessor corporations, divisions, insurers, indemnitors, heirs,
successors, and assigns, and each and everyone of them, together with all past
and present directors, officers, employees, agents, and each and everyone of
them, of and from any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims (including,
but not limited to, claims for attorneys' fees), complaints, charges, judgments,
and executions, whether liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, suspected
or unsuspected, and whether related or unrelated to any present dispute as to
law or facts or both, which Lewis has ever had, presently has, or claims to have
had against the Company or any of its parent corporations, subsidiaries,
affiliated corporations, divisions, insurers, indemnitors, heirs, successors, or
assigns, together with all past and present directors, officers, employees, and
agents of each and everyone of them, the agreed upon consideration having been
negotiated and bargained for all things above mentioned, and received in full
satisfaction for all of the above. At the time that Lewis executes this
Separation Agreement, he will also execute a separate Release, a copy of which
is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. This Separation
Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to limit the Release in any
manner.

                  3. Confidentiality. It is the intent of the Company that the
underlying factual basis for any alleged claims by Lewis and the terms upon
which this matter has been settled, including the terms and conditions of this
Separation Agreement and the Release attached hereto, will be forever treated as
confidential. Accordingly, Lewis will not disclose the underlying facts and/or
terms of this Separation Agreement to anyone, except as follows: Lewis may
disclose the terms of this Separation Agreement only to his spouse, lawyer,
accountant, and tax advisor or preparer. Other than as set forth above, the
underlying facts and/or terms of this Separation Agreement shall not be
disclosed, except pursuant to written authorization by the Company. Furthermore,
Lewis may not in any way falsely represent the terms of this Separation
Agreement to anyone.

                  4. Consideration and Rescission Periods. Lewis understands
that he may take 21 calendar days to decide whether to sign this Separation
Agreement and Release, which 21-day period will commence on the date on which
Lewis first receives copies of this Separation Agreement and Release for review,
and that in conjunction with paragraph 13 he is free and invited to consult with
his own attorney regarding this period and this matter in general. Lewis
represents that if he signs this Separation Agreement and Release before the
expiration of the 21-day period, it is because he has decided that he does not
need any additional time to decide whether to sign this Separation Agreement and
Release. Lewis may rescind this Separation Agreement and Release within seven

                                       2
<PAGE>

(7) calendar days to reinstate federal claims under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act and within fifteen (15) calendar days to reinstate state claims
under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. To be effective, any rescission within the
relevant time periods must be in writing and delivered to the Company, in care
of John Bujan, Esq., ONTRACK Data International, Inc., 9023 Columbine Road, Eden
Prairie, Minnesota 55347, either by hand or by mail within the rescission
period. If delivered by mail, the rescission must be (1) postmarked within the
7-day or 15-day period; (2) properly addressed to the Company; and (3) sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested. If Lewis rescinds this Separation
Agreement and Release or any part of it, then the remaining provisions of this
Separation Agreement and Release shall be and are void, Lewis shall not be
entitled to the consideration specified in this Separation Agreement, and shall
return any and all consideration received from the Company.

                  5. Non-Disparagement. Lewis agrees that he shall not disparage
or defame the Company in any respect or make any negative comments concerning
the parties' employment relationship, the end of the employment relationship, or
the matters contained in this Separation Agreement. Furthermore, Lewis shall not
in any way assist or encourage any individual or group of individuals to bring
or pursue a lawsuit, charge, complaint, or grievance, or in making any other
demands against the Company or any of its officers, employees, or
representatives. Lewis may only testify in a court or other proceeding against
the Company to the extent he is compelled to do so by lawful subpoena.

                  6. Confidential Information. Lewis hereby represents that as
of the date he signs this Separation Agreement, he has not in the past, directly
or indirectly, released any information, data, figures, financial records,
projections, estimates, customer lists, tax records, personnel histories, human
resource policies or documents of any type, accounting procedures, or any other
confidential information which he acquired while performing services or working
for the Company to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity at any time,
except as was required by law. Lewis acknowledges that this is a material
representation, and that the Company is relying on it as part of this Separation
Agreement.

                  Lewis agrees that he will continue to treat, as private and
privileged, any information, data, figures, financial records, projections,
estimates, customer lists, tax records, personnel history, human resource
policies or documents of any type, accounting procedures, and all other
confidential information which he acquired while performing services to or
working for the Company. Further, Lewis agrees that he will not release any such
information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity at any time, except
as may be required by law, or as agreed to in writing by the Company.

                  7. Cooperation in Claims. Lewis agrees that, until December
31, 2001, and for a reasonable period of time thereafter, at the Company's
request, he will cooperate with the Company in any claims or lawsuits involving
the Company where Lewis has knowledge of the facts involved in the claim or
lawsuit. Lewis further agrees that he will not voluntarily encourage, aid,

                                       3
<PAGE>

assist, or cooperate with anyone, or with their attorneys or agents, in bringing
any lawsuit, charge, complaint, or grievance, or in making any other demands
against the Company or any of its officers, employees, or representatives.
However, nothing in this Separation Agreement prevents Lewis from testifying at
an administrative hearing, arbitration, deposition, or in court, in response to
a lawful and properly served subpoena in a proceeding involving the Company.

                  8. Non-Admission. This Separation Agreement does not
constitute an admission by the Company that it has discriminated against or
mistreated Lewis for any reason, or in any way violated any of his legal rights,
and Lewis does not contend that it does constitute such an admission.

                  9. Inducement. Both Lewis and the Company recognize and agree
that each party was substantially induced to enter into this Separation
Agreement by the terms set forth herein.

                  10. Attorneys' Fees, Costs, Disbursements and Expenses. Lewis
acknowledges that he is responsible for his own attorneys' fees, costs,
disbursements, and expenses incurred in connection with this Separation
Agreement.

                  11. Entire Agreement; No Waiver of Stock Option Rights; D&O
Coverage. With the exception of the standard ONTRACK Confidentiality and
Non-competition Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement both of which Lewis
signed on or about February 11, 1999, which shall remain in full force and
effect, the terms of this Separation Agreement and the Release attached hereto
as Exhibit "A," supersede and terminate all prior oral and written agreements
and communications between the parties. Lewis agrees that this Separation
Agreement and the Release attached hereto, contain all of the agreements between
the parties, and that they have no other written or oral agreements, with the
exception of the standard ONTRACK Confidentiality and Non-competition Agreement
and the Stock Option Agreement referred to above. The parties further confirm
that Lewis has an additional ninety (90) days after December 31, 2001 within
which to exercise any rights he may have under the Stock Option Agreement
between Lewis and the Company dated February 11, 1999, a copy of which is
attached hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Separation
Agreement, including exhibits, to the contrary, Lewis shall continue to be
eligible for indemnification from liability, judgments and costs of defense, and
the benefits of D&O insurance coverage, to the same extent as any other present
and former officer and director of ONTRACK.

                  12. Governing Law. This Separation Agreement will be construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

                  13. Representation. Lewis acknowledges that he has had the
opportunity to be represented by his own attorney in this matter, has fully
negotiated this settlement, and has not relied upon any statements made by the
Company, its agents, or attorneys in agreeing to sign this Separation Agreement
or the Release attached hereto.

                  14. Counterparts - This Separation Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Agreement on the date indicated at his signature below.

I agree that the above list contains examples only and may not contain all
claims that are released. I intend to release all claims against the Company.

AGREEMENT TO RELEASE MY CLAIMS. I will receive certain sums of money and other
consideration from the Employer as set forth in the Separation Agreement if I
sign and do not rescind this Release as provided below. In exchange for that
money and other consideration, I agree to give up all My Claims. I will not
bring any lawsuits or make any other demands against the Employer based on My
Claims. The money and other consideration that I will receive in exchange for
this Release are a full and fair payment for the release of My Claims. The
Employer does not owe me anything for the release of My Claims in addition to
the money and other consideration that I am receiving in exchange for this
Release.

MY RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS RELEASE. I understand that I have the right to rescind
(that is, cancel or revoke) this Release for any reason within 15 calendar days
after I sign it. I understand that this 15-day period includes any other shorter
time periods provided by law. I understand that this Release will not become
effective or enforceable unless and until the rescission period has expired and
I have not rescinded this Release. I understand that if I wish to rescind, the
rescission must be in writing and delivered to the Company, in care of John
Bujan, Esq., ONTRACK Data International, Inc., 9023 Columbine Road, Eden

certified mail, return receipt requested.

<PAGE>

CONFIDENTIALITY. I understand that the facts surrounding my employment
relationship and the termination of this relationship and the terms of this
Release are confidential, and that I may not disclose those matters to any
person except under the circumstances described in the Separation Agreement.

NONDISCLOSURE AND NONDISPARAGEMENT. I understand that I have agreed I will not
disclose any confidential information about the Company and I will not disparage
the Company.

NONPARTICIPATION IN CLAIMS. I understand that I have agreed that if there are
any claims against the Company, I will not participate in prosecuting those
claims, except to the extent required to do so by law.

BREACH. I understand that if I fail to live up to the promises I have made in
the Separation Agreement and this Release regarding confidentiality, I will have
to pay the Company back all of the money the Company has paid in consideration
of signing this Release.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS. Even though the Employer will pay me
for the release of My Claims, the Employer does not admit that it is responsible
or legally obligated to me for My Claims. In fact, I understand that the
Employer denies that it is responsible or legally obligated for My Claims or
that it has engaged in any improper or unlawful conduct or wrongdoing against
me.

         I have read this Release carefully and I understand all its terms. I
have been advised to consult with my own attorneys, if I deem that appropriate,
prior to executing this Release. In agreeing to sign this Release, I have not
relied on any statements or explanations made by the Employer or its attorneys,
other than statements made in this Release, the Separation Agreement and, except
as modified by the Separation Agreement, any deferred compensation, retirement,
and other employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company (including my
agreements relating thereto) in which I am a participant.

         I understand that this Release, the Separation Agreement and, except as
modified by the Separation Agreement, any deferred compensation, retirement, and
other employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company (including my agreements
relating thereto) in which I am a participant contain all the agreements between
the Employer and me relating to this settlement. We have no other written or
oral agreements relating to this settlement.

         I am not under any legal disabilities that prevent me from being
legally bound by the agreements that I am making in this Release. I am legally
able and entitled to receive the money and other consideration that I will
receive from the Employer as set forth in the Separation Agreement in settlement
of My Claims.
