         ------------------

true as of the WarehousePRO Effective Date with regard to the WarehousePRO

agreement to assign to Logility any interest in any instrument, contract, lease,
permit, or other agreement or arrangement or any claim, right, or benefit
arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an assignment or agreement to
assign without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or a
violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of any of the ASI Entities or
Logility thereunder.  If an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would
adversely affect the ability of any of the ASI Entities to convey its interest
to Logility, the ASI Entities will cooperate with Logility in any lawful and
reasonable arrangement to provide that Logility shall receive the interest and
economic benefit

requires the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent or
approval being obtained.

Liability, as such term is amended hereby.
