of the working data files of the User. These back-up files will be
no more than one week old and will be stored in a specifically
designed fire-proof vault in a location remote from the working
files. SunGard will also retain the necessary input data from each
User that would be required to update the User back-up file to
"current" status.
11. RECOVERY SERVICES. SunGard will maintain a Recovery Services
Agreement in the event an unplanned condition renders SunGard unable
to use its data processing equipment. The Agreement will provide
SunGard with access to computer and communication back up with
necessary capability to allow SunGard to fulfill its obligations
under this Agreement.
12. STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE; CUSTOM, PRACTICE AND CONDUCT. SunGard
shall endeavor to provide the same quality of services in processing
the work of the User as provided by the User as of the date of this
Agreement for its own fiduciary accounts. The parties specifically
acknowledge that, as the services performed under this Agreement
continue hereafter, the parties by custom, practice, or conduct may
consent or agree to changes or deviations in the manner by which
SunGard provides its services hereunder and the reports generated
pursuant to this Agreement. The performance of services consistent
with the prior custom, practice and conduct of the parties shall be
conclusive evidence that the services provided hereunder are
acceptable to User. However, delay in demand for payment of any
amount due from User hereunder, and acceptance of any partial
payment shall in no event constitute a waiver of or consent to
nonpayment by User, and User shall remain liable for all
compensation due hereunder for the services provided by SunGard.
13. DEFAULT BY USER. In the event User fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the
failure to make any payment required under paragraph 4, and such
failure continues for a period of ten (10) days from the date when
performance should have been rendered, User shall be deemed to be in
default of its obligations hereunder.
14. RIGHT TO SUSPEND PERFORMANCE WITHOUT TERMINATING. In the event of a
default in any term of this Agreement by User, then, in addition to
SunGard's right to terminate this Agreement and any other rights and
remedies SunGard may have, SunGard may suspend performance of all
services under this Agreement (and deny User access to the software
and User's files) until the default is cured; in such event, User
shall remain liable to SunGard for a monthly fee equal to the base
monthly compensation plus the average of the monthly account service
charges (excluding cash management fees, printing and similar extra
charges) due for the last six months preceding default, until the
default is cured.
15. RIGHT TO TERMINATE; DAMAGES UPON TERMINATION. In the event a default
by User shall occur hereunder, SunGard may, at its option, terminate
this Agreement. In addition to its right of termination, SunGard
shall also have the right to recover from User damages, including
interest and reasonable attorneys' fees, for such default. Inasmuch
as a default by User will cause substantial damages to SunGard and
because of the difficulty of estimating with exactness the damages
which will result, User agrees to pay to SunGard, as liquidated
damages for such default, an amount equal to the base monthly
compensation plus the average of the monthly account service charges
(excluding cash management fees, printing and similar extra charges)
due for the last six months preceding default, multiplied by the
number of months remaining in the then-existing term of this
Agreement. The parties agree that
9
<PAGE>
this sum is a reasonable forecast of probable actual loss to SunGard
and that this sum is agreed to as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty. In addition, all software, equipment, manuals and other
property of SunGard in Users possession shall be returned to SunGard
upon demand, at User's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall limit SunGard's remedies against User in the
event of a breach by User of the protective covenants contained in
this Agreement. In the event of such a breach by User, SunGard shall
be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable remedies available to
it, including injunctive relief.
16. ATTORNEY'S FEES; COSTS OF COLLECTION. In the event User defaults on
its obligations hereunder and SunGard retains legal counsel,
regardless of whether legal action is initiated, User shall repay
SunGard all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the balance due to SunGard,
and other legal costs.
17. DEFAULT BY SUNGARD. In the event of errors made by SunGard in
processing as provided herein, the provisions of Paragraph 7
hereinabove shall control and shall be the exclusive remedy of User.
In the event SunGard shall otherwise fail to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement, and such failure shall not be
cured within thirty (30) days from the date written notice of such
failure from User is received by SunGard, then and only in such
event shall User be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to SunGard, without further liability to User. Further, any
liability of SunGard on account of such breach or default shall be
limited to the actual amount of compensation paid by User to SunGard
for the month(s) during which the default occurred and was not cured
by SunGard.
18. INTEREST. Interest on all past due amounts under this Agreement
shall accrue from the date due at an annual interest rate equal to
the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted
by law.
19. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER. No remedy of SunGard contained in
this Agreement shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy;
but rather, each remedy shall be distinct, separate and cumulative,
and in addition to any other right or remedy provided in this
Agreement or by applicable law. Each such right or remedy may be
pursued singularly, successively or together in the sole discretion
of SunGard and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of the same.
SunGard may waive any right or remedy available to it, but any such
waiver is not continuing, is limited to the specific act or omission
waived and shall not affect any other rights or remedies.
20. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. User may
not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its or his rights,
duties or obligations hereunder or interest herein without the
written consent of SunGard. In the event of any such assignment,
delegation, or other transfer by User, whether or not SunGard has
consented, the User shall remain liable for all amounts due
hereunder and all other obligations of User pursuant to this
Agreement, whether or not the assignor or transferee is or may also
be liable to SunGard. SunGard may transfer or assign its rights,
duties and obligations hereunder or interest herein to any entity
related to SunGard by substantially similar ownership or control, or
to a successor in interest pursuant to a merger, reorganization,
stock sale, asset sale or other transaction, without the consent of
User.
21. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or portion of this Agreement is
declared or found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable or null and void, such provision or portion thereof
shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Agreement and the
remaining provisions and portions hereof shall continue in full
force and effect.

accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.
23. JURISDICTION; VENUE. The parties hereto agree that, in the event
either party elects to pursue legal action against the other for
default of any obligation under this Agreement, such legal action
shall be brought in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, unless
SunGard, at its sole option, elects to bring action in the county
and state of residence of the User.
24. FORCE MAJEURE. SunGard shall not be liable for, nor shall SunGard be

"Agreement"). The terms and conditions of the Agreement are incorporated herein
by reference and, unless specifically noted herein, shall remain in full force

these items are the User's responsibility.
SunGard represents, and User acknowledges, that Charlotte Phase II will be
made available to User at no additional one-time Software License Fee or

through December 31, 1998. This waiver covers the items in Section 4 A, B,
C, D and E only. Normal charges for other fees and all pass through items
such as paper and form supplies, shipping, etc., apply.
3. SunGard represents and warrants that as of January 1, 1999, AutoTrust will
be designed to be used prior to, during and after the calendar year 2000
A.D., and that AutoTrust will be designed to operate during each such time
period without material error caused by date data. For the purposes of
this section, "date data" shall mean any data or input which includes an
indication of date.
The foregoing warranty shall not apply (a) if User's operating system or
any third-party software causes any of the date data errors, or (b) to
custom software developed by SunGard or any third party. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, SunGard's sole obligation and User's sole
remedy with respect to the foregoing representation and warranty is for

errors that may occur.
