Re:  GRANT OF STOCK OPTION

Dear Paul:

          The Board of Directors of Cooperative Computing Holding Company, Inc.
(the "Company") has adopted the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
for certain individuals and key employees of the Company and its Related
Entities.  A copy of the Plan is being furnished to you concurrently with the
execution of this Option Agreement and shall be deemed a part of this Option
Agreement as if fully set forth herein.  Unless the context otherwise requires,
all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given such terms in the Plan.

     1.   THE GRANT.

          Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company hereby grants
to you, effective as of February 16, 2000 (the "Grant Date"), as a matter of
separate inducement and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for your
services, the right and option to purchase (the "Option"), in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, an aggregate of
300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Option Shares"), at the
Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined).  As used herein, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean a price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to the adjustments
and limitations set forth herein and in the Plan.  The Option granted hereunder
is intended to constitute an Incentive Option within the meaning of the Plan;
however, you should consult with your tax advisor concerning the proper
reporting of any federal or state tax liability that may arise as a result of
the grant or exercise of the Option.

     2.   EXERCISE.

          (a)  Subject to the Company's right to repurchase the Option Shares as
set forth in Section 4 below, prior to termination of your employment the Option
shall be immediately exercisable after the Grant Date for any or all of the
Option Shares, whether or not the Option Shares are Nonvested Shares or Vested
Shares (each as defined below) and shall remain so exercisable until the
Expiration Date, or until sooner terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
Subject to the Company's right to repurchase the Option Shares as set forth in
Section 4 below, after termination of your employment the Option shall be
exercisable only as provided in Section 3 hereof.

          (b)  For purposes of this Option Agreement, the Option Shares shall be
deemed "Nonvested Shares" unless and until they have become "Vested Shares."
Subject to Section 2(c) hereof, 20% of the Option Shares shall become "Vested
Shares" upon each of the following dates: September 30, 2000, September 30,
2001, September 30, 2002, September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004 (each, a
"Vesting Date"); provided that, subject to the provisions of this Section 2,
vesting shall cease upon your ceasing to be an employee of the Company or a
Related Entity as expressly provided in Section 3 hereof.  In addition, all
Nonvested Shares shall become Vested Shares upon the occurrence of  any of the
following: (i) Change in Control, (ii) termination by Cooperative Computing,
Inc. without Cause, as defined in that certain Executive Employment Agreement
between the Company, Cooperative Computing, Inc., and Paul Stone dated October
5, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement"), or (iii) termination by you for Good
Reason as defined in the Employment Agreement.

          (c)  If on the September 30, 2000 Vesting Date, the Company has Free
Cash Flow equal to or greater than zero, then on such Vesting Date an additional
13.3333% of the Option Shares shall become "Vested Shares," and the remaining
Nonvested Shares shall, subject to the third sentence of this Section 2(c) and
Section 2(b), vest in equal installments over the remaining Vested Dates.  As
used herein, "Free Cash Flow" shall mean Consolidated EBITDA, less Capital
Expenditures, less Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, less cash taxes, plus the
difference (whether positive or negative) between Consolidated Working Capital
on September 30, 1999 and the Consolidated Working Capital on September 30, 2000
(capitalized terms shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit
Agreement dated as of February 27, 1997, as amended, among Cooperative
Computing, Inc., the Company, the several banks and other financial institutions
from time to time parties hereto, and The Chase Manhattan Bank).  If on any
subsequent Vesting Date, the Company has achieved its Target (as hereinafter
defined) for such Vesting Date, then, subject to the last sentence of this
Section 2(c), on such Vesting Date an additional 13.3% of the Option Shares
shall become "Vested Shares," and the remaining Nonvested Shares shall, subject
to this sentence and Section 2(b), vest in equal installments over the remaining
Vesting Dates.  As used herein, "Target" shall mean, with respect to a
particular Vesting Date, the target financial measurement to be achieved by the
Company determined by the Board of Directors of the Company for such Vesting
Date, which such Target shall be set on or before the preceding Vesting Date.
In no event shall this Section 2(c) be construed to cause the number of Vested
Shares to exceed the number of Option Shares.

          (d)  Subject to the relevant provisions and limitations contained
herein and in the Plan, you may exercise the Option at any time prior to the
termination of the Option pursuant to this Option Agreement.  In no event shall
you be entitled to exercise the Option for a fraction of a share.

          (e)  The unexercised portion of the Option, if any, will
automatically, and without notice, terminate and become null and void upon the
expiration of ten (10) years (the "Expiration Date") from the Grant Date.

          (f)  Any exercise by you of the Option shall be in writing addressed
to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business (a copy of
the form of exercise to be used will be available upon written request to the
Secretary), and shall be accompanied by a certified or bank check payable to the
order of the Company in the full amount of the Exercise Price of the shares so
purchased, or in such other manner as described in the Plan and established by
the Committee.

     3.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a)  In the case of termination of your employment with the Company or
any Related Entity due to death, your estate (or any Person who acquired the
right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason
of your death) may, until the earlier of (x) the 181st day after the date of
death or (y) the expiration of the Option in accordance with its terms, exercise
the Option with respect to all or any part of the Vested Shares which you were
entitled to purchase and, thereafter, the Option shall, to the extent not
previously exercised, automatically terminate and become null and void.

          (b)  In the case of termination of your employment with the Company or
any Related Entity due to Disability, you or your legal representative may,
until the earlier of (x) the 181st day after the date your employment was
terminated or (y) the expiration of the Option in accordance with its terms,
exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the Vested Shares which
you were entitled to purchase and, thereafter, the Option shall, to the extent
not previously exercised, automatically terminate and become null and void.

          (c)  Intentionally omitted

          (d)  If your employment with the Company or any Related Entity is
terminated for any reason other than those specified in subsections 3(a) or( b)
above, you may, until the expiration of the Option in accordance with its terms,
exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the Vested Shares which
you were entitled to purchase and, thereafter, the Option shall, to the extent
not previously exercised, automatically terminate and become null and void.  To
the extent required to give effect to the terms of this paragraph, such Option
will become a non-qualified stock option pursuant to the Plan.

     4.   NONVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION.

          (a)  In the event your employment with the Company or any Related
Entity is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, the Company shall
have the right to repurchase (the "Repurchase Right") any Nonvested Shares
previously acquired by you on exercise of the Option under the terms set forth
in this Section 4.

          (b)  The Company may exercise the Repurchase Right by written notice
to you within sixty (60) days after such termination of employment.  If the
Company fails to give notice within such sixty (60) day period, the Repurchase
Right will terminate unless the Company and you have extended the time for the
exercise of the Repurchase Right.  The Repurchase Right may be exercised for any
or all of the Nonvested Shares.

          (c)  Payment by the Company to you shall be made in cash within thirty
(30) days after the date of the mailing of the written notice of exercise of the
Repurchase Option.  The purchase price per Option Share being repurchased by the
Company shall be an amount equal to the Exercise Price.  The Option Shares being
repurchased shall be delivered to the Company by you at the same time as the
delivery of the Exercise Price by the Company.

          (d)  The Option Shares subject to the Repurchase Right may not be
sold, transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any manner
and any such disposition shall be void ab initio.  In furtherance of the
foregoing, Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that all certificates
representing such Option Shares shall be held in escrow by the Company for the
benefit of Optionee during the period for which the Company may exercise the
Repurchase Right.

          (e)  The Optionee hereby constitutes and appoints the Company, as its
true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote any and all Option Shares
held by such Optionee during the period for which the Company may exercise the
Repurchase Right.  Optionee hereby acknowledges that the proxy granted hereby is
irrevocable, being coupled with an interest.

          (f)  The stock certificates for the Option Shares subject to the
Repurchase Right shall be endorsed with the following restrictive legend:

          "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to certain
repurchase rights granted to the Company and accordingly may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of."

          (g)  The Company shall have the right to assign the Repurchase Right
at any time, whether or not such Option is then exercisable, to one (1) or more
persons as may be selected by the Company.  The assignee must pay the Company
upon assignment of the Repurchase Right cash equal to the difference between the
original purchase price and fair market value if the original purchase price is
less than fair market value.

     5.   TRANSFERABILITY.

          Subject to the further limitations of Section 4, the Option and any
rights or interests therein are not assignable or transferable by you except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during your lifetime, the
Option shall be exercisable only by you or, in the event that a legal
representative has been appointed in connection with your Disability, such legal
representative.

     6.   REGISTRATION.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
shall not in any event be obligated to file any registration statement under the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws to permit exercise of the
Option or to issue any Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws.  You (or in the event of your death or, in the
event a legal representative has been appointed in connection with your
Disability, the Person exercising the Option) shall, as a condition to your
right to exercise the Option, deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate
containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company may
deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that the issuance of the Option Shares
pursuant to such exercise is not required to be registered under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities laws.

          Certificates for Option Shares, when issued, shall be endorsed with
(in addition to the legend specified in Section 4(f) hereof) the following
legend:

          "THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
          BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
          ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR
          SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL
          THE HOLDER HEREOF PROVIDES EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER
          (WHICH, IN THE DISCRETION OF THE ISSUER, MAY INCLUDE AN OPINION
          OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER) THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE,
          PLEDGE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION WILL NOT VIOLATE APPLICABLE
          FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS."

          The foregoing legend may not be required for Option Shares issued
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in
accordance with applicable state securities laws.

     7.   WITHHOLDING TAXES.

          By acceptance hereof, you hereby (i) agree to reimburse the Company or
any Related Entity by which you are employed for any federal, state or local
taxes required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted by such
corporation in respect of your exercise of all or a portion of the Option; (ii)
authorize the Company or any Related Entity by which you are employed to
withhold from any cash compensation paid to you or on your behalf, an amount
sufficient to discharge any federal, state and local taxes imposed on the
Company or the Related Entity by which you are employed, and which otherwise has
not been reimbursed by you, in respect of your exercise of all or a portion of
the Option; and (iii) agree that the Company may, in its discretion, hold the
stock certificate to which you are entitled upon exercise of the Option as
security for the payment of the aforementioned withholding tax liability, until
cash sufficient to pay that liability has been accumulated, and may, in its
discretion, effect such withholding by retaining shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise which
is equal to the amount to be withheld.

     8.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  This Option Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions,
limitations and restrictions contained in the Plan.  In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan,
the terms of the Plan shall be controlling.

          (b)  This Option Agreement is not a contract of employment and the
terms of your employment shall not be affected by, or construed to be affected
by, this Option Agreement, except to the extent specifically provided herein.
Nothing herein shall impose, or be construed as imposing, any obligation (i) on
the part of the Company or any Related Entity to continue your employment, or
(ii) on your part to remain in the employ of the Company or any Related Entity.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan,
the Company hereby waives its right to exercise the Purchase Option.

          Please indicate your acceptance of all the terms and conditions of the
Option and the Plan by signing and returning a copy of this Option Agreement.

                              Very truly yours,

                              COOPERATIVE COMPUTING HOLDING COMPANY, INC.

                                  COMPANY, INC.
                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                             STOCK OPTION BONUS PLAN
1.   PURPOSE.

     Cooperative Computing Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(herein, together with its successors, referred to as the "COMPANY"), by means
of this Amended and Restated Stock Option Bonus Plan (the "PLAN"), desires to
provide its Employees a bonus upon exercise of their Options in connection with
a Change of Control under the terms and conditions described herein.  Certain
definitions used herein are defined in SECTION 10 of this Plan.

     The amounts payable as described in SECTION 3 (the "BONUSES") are a matter
of separate inducement and are not in lieu of any salary or other compensation
for services.

2.   ADMINISTRATION.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "BOARD").  The Board shall have plenary authority to prescribe, amend,
modify, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and make all
determinations permitted or deemed necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the
administration of the Plan, interpret any Plan provision, perform all other
acts, exercise all other power, and establish any other procedures determined by
the Board to be necessary, appropriate, or advisable in administering the Plan.
Any act of the Board, including interpretations of the provisions of the Plan
and determinations under the Plan, made in good faith, shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all parties.  The Board may delegate to one or more of
its members, or to one or more agents, such administrative duties as it may deem
advisable, and the Board or any Person to whom it has delegated duties as
aforesaid may employ one or more Persons to render advice with respect to any
responsibility the Board or such Person may have under the Plan; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any such delegation shall be in writing.  The Board may employ
attorneys, consultants, accountants, or other Persons and the Board, the
Company, and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the
advice, opinions, or valuations of any such Persons.  No member or agent of the
Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan and all members and
agents of the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any
such action, determination, or interpretation.

3.   BONUS PAYMENT.

     Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, each Employee that
exercises an Option (or, if applicable, receives cash or substitute options in
lieu thereof) in connection with a Change of Control, will be entitled to
receive within three business days following such Change of Control a payment in
an amount equal to such Employee's pro rata share of the Available Bonus Amount,
which shall be determined by dividing the total number of shares being issued
(or deemed issued) on exercise of such Employee's Options in connection with
such Change of Control by the aggregate number of shares for which all
Employees' Options are exercisable in connection with such Change of Control.
The Bonuses payable hereunder shall be made in cash or, at the discretion of the
Board, in whole or in part in the form of the securities or non-cash
consideration being paid in connection with such Change of Control and subject
to the same terms and conditions generally applicable thereto.  Any non-cash
consideration to be paid as a Bonus shall be valued as its fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Board based upon the value ascribed to such
consideration for the purposes of such Change of Control.

4.   ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

     The right to receive a Bonus is personal to Employees of the Company who
are Employees as of the date of the Change of Control that results in the
payment of such Bonus, and such right may not be transferred, assigned, pledged
or hypothecated (except in connection with the transfer of the underlying Option
in accordance with the terms of the Option Plans) by any Participant, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process.

5.   WITHHOLDING TAXES.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no payment of a
Bonus shall be made to a Participant prior to such Participant authorizing the
Company and/or any Related Entity by which the Participant is employed, as
applicable, on a form provided by the Company, to withhold from any cash
compensation, including the Bonus, paid to the Participant or on the
Participant's behalf, an amount sufficient to discharge any federal, state, and
local taxes imposed on the Company or the Related Entity by which the
Participant is employed, and which otherwise has not been reimbursed by the
Participant, in respect of the payment of a Bonus to such Participant.

6.   COSTS AND EXPENSES.

     The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Company and shall not be charged against any Participant.

7.   FUNDING OF PLAN.

     The Plan shall be unfunded.  The Company shall not be required to make any
segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Bonus under the Plan.

8.   OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS.

     The adoption of the Plan does not preclude the adoption by appropriate
means of any other incentive plan for employees.

9.   EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT.

     Nothing contained in the Plan or any agreement related hereto or referred
to herein shall affect, or be construed as affecting, the terms of employment of
any Employee except to the extent specifically provided herein or therein.
Nothing contained in the Plan or any agreement related hereto or referred to
herein shall impose, or be construed as imposing, an obligation on (i) the
Company or any Related Entity to continue the employment of any Employee, and
(ii) any Employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any Related Entity.

10.  DEFINITIONS.

     In addition to the terms specifically defined elsewhere in the Plan, as
used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings
indicated:

     "ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS" shall mean the aggregate Additional Amounts (as
     defined in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation) payable or paid in
     respect of the Class A Common Stock.

     "AFFILIATE" shall mean, as to any Person, a Person that directly, or
     indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled
     by, or is under common control with, such Person.

     "AVAILABLE BONUS AMOUNT" shall mean the lesser of (a) the Additional
     Amounts multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total
     number of shares being issued (or deemed issued) on exercise of all Options
     in connection with a Change of Control, and the denominator of which is the
     total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
     prior to the consummation of such Change of Control (without giving effect
     to the exercise of any Options in connection with such Change of Control)
     and (b) the amount obtained by multiplying the net proceeds from the Change
     of Control, as determined by the Board following the deduction of all
     amounts it deems necessary or appropriate (including, but not limited to,
     costs, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with such Change of
     Control; Federal, state, and local taxes paid or reasonably estimated to be
     payable as a result of the Change of Control; the payment of all amounts
     owing in respect of the Class A Common Stock (excluding the Additional
     Amounts payable in respect thereof); and all repayments of Company
     indebtedness in connection with such Change of Control, net of any
     available cash and cash obtained from the exercise of Options used for the
     repayment of such indebtedness), by a fraction, the numerator of which is
     the total number of shares of Common Stock being issued (or deemed issued)
     on exercise of all Participants' Options in connection with such Change of
     Control, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of
     Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation
     of the Change of Control (on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to
     the exercise (or deemed exercise) of all Options in connection with such
     Change of Control).  Nothing in this definition is intended to give an
     Option holder greater value for shares of Common Stock received by such
     holder upon exercise of such Option than a holder of Common Stock receives,
     except for the elimination of the dilution caused by the accretion of the
     Class A Common Stock.  This definition is simply intended to mirror the
     calculation of equity value.

     "BONUSES" shall have the meaning set forth in SECTION 3 hereof.

     "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean the first to occur of the following events:

     interpretations thereunder (a "GROUP") other than one or more members of
     the HMC Group, or (ii) the acquisition by any Person or Group other than

     employee of the Company or any Related Entity who is regularly employed on
     the date of the Change of Control or any person holding a stock option on
     the date of the Change of Control granted pursuant to an Option Plan .

     "EXCHANGE ACT" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
     and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     "HMC GROUP" shall mean Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, its
     Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, partners and
     directors (and members of their respective families and trusts for the
     primary benefit of such family members).

     Stock pursuant to a prospectus, registration statement or similar document
     under the Securities Act or equivalent laws of appropriate jurisdiction,
     where such shares of Common Stock are listed on at least one of the New
     York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or authorized to be quoted
     and/or traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

     "OPTION PLANS" shall mean, except as determined otherwise by the Board, the
     Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock
     Option Plan for Key Employees, and the 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan.

     "OPTIONS" shall mean, except as determined otherwise by the Board, the
     stock options granted pursuant to the Company's Option Plans prior to the
     date of adoption of the Plan.

     "PARTICIPANT" shall mean an Employee that is entitled to receive a Bonus
     pursuant to SECTION 3.

     partnership, trust, or other entity.

     "PLAN" shall have the meaning set forth in SECTION 1 hereof.

     "RELATED ENTITY" shall mean any direct or indirect subsidiary or parent
