          License to a legal entity separate from Customer without the prior
          written consent of Oracle.  Oracle shall not unreasonably withhold
          or delay such consent.

2.3   Verification
      At Oracle's written request, not more frequently than annually,
      Customer shall furnish Oracle with a signed certification verifying
      that the Programs are being used pursuant to the provisions of this
      Agreement and applicable Order Forms.

      Oracle may audit Customer's use of the Programs.  Any such audit shall
      be conducted during regular business hours at Customer's facilities and
      shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer's business activities.

      Customer shall be invoiced for such underpaid fees.  Audits shall be
      conducted no more than once annually.

     Agreement shall continue perpetually unless terminated
     under this Article IV.

     obligations specified in Section 4.4.

4.3  Termination by Oracle

     written notice if Customer materially breaches this
     Agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days
     following written notice specifying the breach.

4.4  Effect of Termination
     Termination of this Agreement or any license shall not
     limit either party from pursuing other remedies available
     to it, including injunctive relief, nor shall such
     termination relieve Customer's obligation to pay all fees
     that have accrued or are otherwise owed by Customer under
     any Order Form.  The parties' rights and obligations under
     Sections 2.1.B, 2.1.C, and 2.2.B, and Articles
     IV, V, VI and VII shall survive termination of this
     Agreement.  Upon termination, Customer shall cease using,

     Programs.


<PAGE>

V.   INDEMNITY, WARRANTIES, REMEDIES

5.1  Infringement Indemnity
     Oracle will defend and indemnify Customer against
     a claim that the Programs infringe a copyright or patent or other
     intellectual property right, provided that: (a) Customer notifies Oracle
     in writing within 30 days of the claim' (b) Oracle has sole control of the
     defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (c) customer provides
     Oracle with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform
     Oracle's obligations under this Section.  Oracle will reimburse Customer's
     reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.
     Oracle shall have no liability for any claim or infringement based on use
     of a superseded or altered release of Programs if the infringement would
     have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Programs
     which Oracle provides to Customer.

     If the Programs are held or are believed by Oracle to infringe, Oracle
     shall have the option, at its expense, to (a) modify the Programs to
     be noninfringing; or (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue
     using the Programs.  If it is not commercially reasonable to
     perform either of the above options, then Oracle may terminate the
     license for the infringing Programs and refund the license fees paid
     for those Programs.  This Section 5.1 states Oracle's entire liability
     and Customer's exclusive remedy for infringement.

5.2  Warranties and Disclaimers

     A.  Program Warranty
         Oracle warrants for a period of one year from the Commencement
         Date that each unmodified Program license will perform the

         Oracle warrants the tapes, diskettes or other media to be

     C.  Services Warranty
         Oracle warrants that its Technical Support, training and
         consulting services will be performed consistent with
         generally accepted industry standards.  This warranty shall
         be valid for 90 days from performance of service.

     D.  Disclaimers
         THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
         WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE

         PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

         Oracle does not warrant that the Programs will operate
         in combinations other than as specified in the
         Documentation or that the operation of the Programs
         will be uninterrupted or error-free.  Pre-production
         releases of Programs and computer-based training products
         are distributed "AS IS."

5.3  Exclusive Remedies

     shall be:

     A.  For Programs

         the warranty, or if Oracle is unable to make the Program

         terminate the Program license and recover the fees paid
         to Oracle for the Program license.

2.       SEGMENTATION
         Customer acknowledges that the Services acquired hereunder were bid by
         Oracle separately from any Oracle program licenses. Customer
         understands that it has the right to acquire Services without acquiring
         any Oracle program licenses, and that Customer has the right to acquire
         the Services and any Oracle program licenses separately.

3.       CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS
         Customer acknowledges that its timely provision of and access to
         Customer operations documentation, equipment, assistance, complete and
         accurate information and data from its officers, agents, and employees
         (collectively, "Cooperation") are essential to performance of any
         Services as set forth in this EC and that Oracle shall not be liable
         for any deficiency in performing Services if such deficiency results
         from Customer's failure to provide full Cooperation.

4.       ORACLE ASSUMPTIONS
         The Description of Services and Fee(s) set forth in this Order Form are
         based upon information the Customer has presented to Oracle and the
         following assumptions:

         -        Customer shall provide a first and second line help desk to
                  handle all calls from the user community

         -        Oracle shall support the second line help desk and have named
                  contacts from the customer

         -        Customer shall provide desks and facilities for the onsite
                  resources

         -        Customer shall keep the Solution Support manager and the
                  Solution Support Center engineers apprised of proposed,
                  planned and implemented system configuration changes

         -        Provide regular feedback on all issues via agreed channels to
                  facilitate overall coordination.

         Customer acknowledges that changes in the assumption set forth above
         may affect Oracle's ability to provide Services as set forth in this
         EC. If delivery of a Service is delayed, or Oracle's cost of providing
         Services is increased, as a result of Customer's failure to complete a
         task, Customer agrees to pay time and materials rates for Oracle's
         increased costs in providing Services under this EC.

5.       CHANGE ORDER
         In order to make a change to the Description of Services in this EC,
         Customer will submit a written request to Oracle specifying the
         proposed changes in detail. Oracle will submit to Customer an estimate
         of the charges and the anticipated changes in the delivery schedule
         that will result from the proposed change in Services (Change Order).
         Oracle will continue performing the Services in accordance with the EC
         until the parties agree in writing on the change in scope of work,
         scheduling, and fees therefor. Any Change Order shall be agreed to by
         the parties in writing prior to implementation.

6.       NON-SOLICITATION
         Oracle and Customer agree that for the term of 4 years from the
         Effective Date of this EC, neither Customer nor the U.S. Division of
         Oracle Lifecycle Support Services (a division of Oracle Corporation)
         shall solicit for employment or retention as an independent contractor
         any employee or former employee of the other who was directly involved
         in the performance of Services hereunder, without the other's prior
         written consent. "Solicit" shall not be deemed to include advertising
         in newspapers or trade publications available to the public. In the
         event that one of the aforementioned entities solicits an employee of
         the other in violation of this paragraph, the entire liability of the
         soliciting entity and the exclusive remedy shall be payment of ten
         thousand dollars ($10,000) to the nonsoliciting entity by the
         soliciting entity.

         with filing the applicable federal and state securities agencies.
