        WHEREAS, the Parties desire to effect certain amendments to the Sale

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of

deleted and replaced by the following:

                      (x) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c) with
               respect to the Fischer Litigation (as defined below) and Section
               6.1(d) with respect to the IBM Claims (as defined below), all
               liabilities with respect to all actions, suits, proceedings,

        2. Section 6.1 of the Sale Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new
paragraph (d) as follows:

                      (d) resulting from the IBM Claims (as defined in this
               Section 6.1(d) below) to the extent of any Damages (as defined in
               this Section 6.1(d) below) resulting from infringement of the IBM
               Patents (as defined in this Section 6.1(d) below) by any Products
               (as defined in this Section 6.1(d) below) manufactured, sold,
               offered for sale or used on or prior to the last expiration date
               of the IBM Patents and such Damages are attributable to either

               after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in
               Section 6.5 below.

                             "IBM Claims" shall mean (i) any action or claim
               brought against any Buyer Indemnified Party predicated on the IBM
               Patents, but only to the extent that such action or claim
               involves any Products, and (ii) any actions or claims for
               indemnification or other relief brought or made by customers or


                                       2
<PAGE>


               users of Products, based on actions or claims of infringement of
               the IBM Patents, based on the use or the sale of Products and
               filed or made by the owner or licensees of the IBM Patents.

                             "IBM Patents" shall mean United States Patent Nos.
               5,572,999, 5,445,166 and 4,751,507 (the "Original IBM Patents"),
               and any reissues, extensions, continuations, divisions or
               continuations in part thereof, provided that, in the case of any
               continuation in part, the term "IBM Patents" shall mean only
               those claims of such continuation in part supported by the
               disclosure of any of the Original IBM Patents.

                             "Products" shall mean, for all purposes of
               indemnification under this Agreement in connection with the IBM
               Patents and notwithstanding the definition of "Products" in
               Section 2.12(a)(xiv) above, any product manufactured, sold or
               offered for sale by Seller on or before the date hereof, as such
               product may be enhanced or improved from time to time by or on
               behalf of Buyer, so long as such product as so enhanced or
               improved is not alleged by IBM in good faith to infringe on any
               claims of any IBM Patents which are not infringed upon by such
               product as manufactured by Seller on the date hereof, or any
               claims of foreign counterparts of the IBM Patents whose
               corresponding U.S. claims, if any, are not alleged to be
               infringed upon by such product as manufactured by Seller on the
               date hereof, provided that in any such case such product is
               manufactured, offered for sale or sold only for the uses offered
               by Seller on or before the date hereof.

                             "Damages" shall mean, for all purposes of
               indemnification under this Agreement in connection with the IBM
               Claims and notwithstanding the definition of "Damages" in the
               introductory paragraph of this Section 6.1, only (i) monetary
               damages (including without limitation "enhanced damages"), fines,
               fees and interest and obligations ordered by a court in
               connection with the IBM Claims, (ii) all amounts payable to
               International Business Machines Corporation (or its successors in
               interest) ("IBM") in settlement of the IBM Claims, including,
               without limitation, any future royalties required to be paid by
               any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of such settlement, (iii)
               any losses, including consequential damages, suffered by any
               Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of an injunction issued as a
               consequence of the IBM Claims prohibiting the sale of Products,
               and (iv) reasonable costs and expenses, including, without
               limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, costs of
               investigation and evaluation, experts and other reasonable costs,
               incurred in connection with the defense of the IBM Claims.

        3. Paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 6.2 of the Sale Agreement are
hereby deleted and replaced by the following:

               business or operations of the Business from and after the
               Closing, except to the extent that such Damages result from a


                                       3
<PAGE>


               matter for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification from Seller
               pursuant to clauses (c)(ii) or (d)(ii) of Section 6.1 above
               (after giving effect Section 6.5 below);

                      (c) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5
               below, resulting from or relating to the Fischer Litigation or
               the IBM Claims;

        4. Paragraph (b) of Section 6.4 of the Sale Agreement is hereby deleted
and replaced by the following:

                      (b) Any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing
               pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in
               Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the
               basis for such claim shall survive until such claim is finally
               resolved and satisfied; provided, however, that any valid claim
               that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to any of Section
               6.1(c), Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.2(c) shall survive until such
               claim is finally resolved and satisfied.

        5. Section 6.5(b) of the Sale Agreement is hereby amended by adding a
new clause (v) as follows:

                      (v) Seller shall not be liable under Section 6.1(d) unless
               and until the aggregate Damages under Section 6.1(d) exceed
               $250,000 (the "Threshold Amount"), provided that if such Damages
               exceed the Threshold Amount, Seller shall be liable for all such
               Damages without regard to the Threshold Amount.

        6. All in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the Agreement, the Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall be deemed hereby to have made a claim for
indemnification with respect to Damages resulting from the IBM Claims against
Seller and Parents pursuant to Section 6.1(d) of the Agreement, and Seller and
Parents shall be deemed hereby to have assumed control of the defense thereof
with Fish & Richardson, P.C. as counsel (which counsel is satisfactory to the
Buyer Indemnified Parties).

        7. Article X of the Sale Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new
Section 10.11 as follows:

                      10.11  Transitional Services.

                             (a) Services; Fees; Terms. Buyer agrees to perform
                      for Seller, in accordance with the terms and provisions of
                      this Section 10.11, the services described in Exhibits I
                      and II attached hereto (collectively, the "Transitional
                      Services") upon the terms specified in Exhibits I and II.
                      From time to time, Seller may request of Buyer that
                      additional services not included in the Transitional
                      Services be provided by Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall use
                      good faith efforts to agree upon the provision of such
                      additional services and the fees therefor, and upon such
                      agreement, such additional services shall be deemed
                      "Transitional Services" for purposes of this Agreement.
                      Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the
                      timely performance of the Transitional Services and Seller


                                       4
<PAGE>


                      shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate
                      with Buyer in connection with the provision of the
                      Transitional Services. Seller agrees to pay to Buyer a fee
                      for each of the Transitional Services actually provided by
                      Buyer as specified in Exhibit I attached hereto.

                             (b) Independent Contractor Status. Buyer shall
                      perform all Transitional Services as an "independent
                      contractor" and not as an agent of Seller. Buyer is not,
                      in connection with the performance of Transitional
                      Services hereunder, authorized to assume or create any
                      obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on
                      behalf of, or in the name of Seller or to bind Seller in
                      any manner.

                             (c) Confidentiality. Each of Buyer and Seller shall
                      hold, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its
                      Affiliates, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict
                      confidence all information concerning the other obtained
                      in connection with the provision of Transitional Services
                      (except to the extent that such information (i) is or
                      becomes generally available to the public other than as a
                      result of a disclosure by the receiving Party in violation
                      of the terms of this Section 10.11(c), (ii) was within the
                      possession of the receiving Party prior to it being
                      furnished to the receiving Party by or on behalf of the
                      other Party or learned by the receiving Party in
                      connection with the performance of Transitional Services,
                      provided that the source of such information was not known
                      by the receiving Party at the time of receipt to be bound
                      by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual,
                      legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the
                      other Party or any other party with respect to such
                      information, (iii) is or becomes available to the
                      receiving Party from a source other than the other Party,
                      provided that such source is not, to the knowledge of the
                      receiving Party at the time of receipt, bound by a
                      confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal
                      or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other
                      Party or any other party with respect to such information,
                      or (iv) was or is independently developed by the receiving
                      Party without utilizing any such information or violating
                      any of the receiving Party's obligations under this
                      Section 10.11(c)), and each Party shall not release or
                      disclose such information to any other person, including
                      without limitation its auditors, attorneys, financial
                      advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors,
                      unless compelled to disclose such information by judicial
                      or administrative process or by other requirements of law
                      or so as not to violate the rules of any stock exchange;
                      provided, however, that in the case of disclosure
                      compelled by judicial or administrative process, the
                      disclosing Party shall (to the extent permitted by
                      applicable law) notify the non-disclosing Party promptly
                      of the request or requirement so that the non-disclosing
                      Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive
                      compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.11(c).
                      If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of
                      a waiver hereunder, a Party is compelled to disclose any
                      such information by judicial or administrative process,
                      such Party may so disclose such information; provided,
                      however, that, at the written request of the


                                       5
<PAGE>


                      non-disclosing Party, the disclosing party shall use
                      commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense
                      of the non-disclosing Party, an order or other assurance
                      that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
                      portion of such information required to be disclosed.

                             (d) Employment Relationships. Except to the extent
                      specified on Exhibits I and II, employees of Buyer engaged
                      in performing the Transitional Services shall under no
                      circumstances be, or be deemed to be, employees of Seller.
                      Buyer shall have full and exclusive liability for the
                      payment of worker's compensation or employer's liability
                      insurance premiums with respect to such employees and for
                      the payment of all taxes, contributions, withholdings or
                      other payments for unemployment compensation or severance,
                      termination, retirement, old age or other benefits,
                      pensions, annuities or other obligations or liabilities of
                      any nature now or hereafter imposed upon employers by the
                      relevant government in respect of such employees, measured
                      by the wages, salaries, compensation or other remuneration
                      paid to such employees or otherwise, and Buyer shall make
                      such payments and shall make and file all reports and
                      returns and do all other things necessary to comply with
                      the law imposing such taxes, contributions, withholdings
                      or other payments.
