Dear Mike:

      Per our most recent discussions, this letter reflects the final agreement
PowerCerv and you reached in connection with the separation of your employment
from PowerCerv Technologies Corporation. For purposes of this letter
(hereinafter, the “Letter Agreement”), the terms “you” or “your” collectively
refers to yourself and your heirs, executors, guardians, administrators,
successors, and assigns, and each of them, jointly and severally.
Additionally, the term “PowerCerv” collectively refers to PowerCerv
Technologies Corporation, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and
agents (in their individual and representative capacities), and its parent,
affiliated, predecessor, successor, subsidiary, and other related companies,
and each of them, jointly and severally. Any references to “the parties”
include you and PowerCerv. Also, any reference to your “Employment Agreement”
refers to the Executive Employment Agreement by and between PowerCerv and you
dated as of February 19, 1998 and the Amendment dated as of December 29, 1998.

      The terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement are as follows:

1.   Pursuant to recent discussions, on June 1, 2000, PowerCerv provided you
notice of its termination of the Employment Agreement per section 9(a)(iii),
thereof. You and PowerCerv agree that the “Termination Date”, as referenced in
Section 10(a) of the Employment Agreement, shall be August 31, 2000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and per our conversation, you are not to provide
PowerCerv services as an employee or officer as set forth in the Employment
Agreement following the close of business on August 31, 2000. You agree,
however, over the next twelve (12) months, to provide reasonable phone
consulting to PowerCerv, during normal business hours, relative to matters you
worked on or had knowledge of during your time of employ.

2.   You will submit a letter of resignation to me on or about the date hereof.
PowerCerv and you agree that your separation of employment with PowerCerv was
effected per Section 9(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement.

3.   You will further submit a letter of resignation from the Board of Directors
of PowerCerv Corporation and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and any
committees thereof, effective on a date determined by me. Further, your
resignation letter shall confirm that there are no outstanding issues or
comments against the company, and that your resignation is not due to any
disagreement with any such entity relating to the operations, policies or
procedures of PowerCerv Corporation or its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

4.   PowerCerv will pay you the sum of $18,750.00 for twelve (12) months. The
first payment will be made on September 15, 2000 and the last payment will be
made on August 15, 2001. These payments will be made on the fifteenth of each
month. PowerCerv shall continue to provide you with your existing health,
welfare, life and disability insurance or benefits similar to those offered to
other members of senior management of PowerCerv, until August 31, 2001 or
until you obtain other employment providing comparable benefits, whichever
occurs first.

5.   In the event of a change of control of PowerCerv during the period PowerCerv
is obligated to pay the monthly cash payments as set forth in section 4 above,
such remaining obligation shall become due and payable to you within 30 days
from the closing of such change of control. A change of control shall mean a
sale, merger, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of
PowerCerv to an unrelated third party.

6.   PowerCerv and you agree that as of August 31, 2000, your Stock Option
Agreement dated as of February 19, 1998 (the “Option Agreement”) shall be
vested in the amount of 750,000 shares at the option price contained therein
with no further vesting occurring. Section 8 of the Option Agreement is hereby
modified to reflect that PowerCerv and you agree that as of January 31, 2001,
such Option Agreement issued to you by PowerCerv shall immediately be cancelled
and terminated. Until such date, PowerCerv shall allow you to exercise the
options under the Option Agreement on a “cashless transaction” basis in
accordance with PowerCerv’s then applicable procedures and in accordance with
the standard PowerCerv Stock Option ISO Agreement. All other stock options
granted to you, whether ISO or Non-Statutory, other than the Option Agreement
shall be terminated as of the date hereof.

7.   You agree that these monies and the Option Agreement (described in
Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of this Letter Agreement), plus any funds you may have
contributed to PowerCerv’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan including amounts paid by
PowerCerv which have vested per the vesting schedule in the Plan, represent all
monies to which you may now or may hereafter be entitled to under the
Employment Agreement or otherwise from PowerCerv including but not limited to
back-pay, severance pay, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, benefits,
attorneys’ fees and damages of any nature whatsoever.

8.   Effective August 31, 2001, you will become eligible for standard COBRA
benefits (in accordance with the applicable federal requirements and
guidelines) at your own cost.

9.   As may be reasonably requested for a twelve (12) month period after the date
of this Letter Agreement, you agree to complete the orderly transition of all
of your accounts, prospective accounts and PowerCerv business matters to Marc
Fratello or his designee, and agree to assist PowerCerv at no cost or fee in
connection with any outstanding litigation to which you may be involved or have
knowledge. Provided PowerCerv shall pay your reasonable pre-approved expenses
associated with travel and lodging for such matters. You will also return to
PowerCerv all PowerCerv property,

including office equipment, supplies,
customer and work files and related materials. Notwithstanding, PowerCerv
shall provide you with use of your existing computer until August 31, 2000.
Also, you will return all keys, cards and other similar type materials to
PowerCerv. Additionally, you hereby agree to comply with the terms and
conditions of Sections 12 and 13 of your Employment Agreement, which provisions
are incorporated herein by this reference. Further, you acknowledge that

sales or marketing of ERP software or CRM software.

10.   You agree not to file any charges, claims, suits, complaints, or grievances
against PowerCerv with any federal, state, or local governmental agency, or in

whatsoever, whether known or unknown to you at the time of execution of this
Letter Agreement, with the exception of any claim that PowerCerv breached its
commitments to you under Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of this Letter Agreement.

11.   You agree to release and forever discharge PowerCerv of and from all
actions and causes of action, suits, debts, claims, and demands whatsoever, in

as of the date hereof, after giving effect to Borrower's payment of all
