                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                             June 30, 1997 and 1996


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore certain information and footnote
disclosures normally contained in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
contained in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company reflect all
adjustments of a  normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as
of June 30, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented.

2.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues from licenses of computer software provided that
a noncancelable license agreement has been signed, the software and related
documentation have been shipped, there are no material uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance, collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable,
and no other significant vendor obligations exist.  Maintenance revenues are
deferred and recognized over the related contract period, generally three months
to five years.  Services and other revenues generated from professional
consulting and training services and software customization services are
recognized as the services are performed.  Hardware revenues are recognized upon
shipment.
 
3.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which is
effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 31, 1997. SFAS
No. 128 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and, for
companies with complex capital structures or potentially dilutive securities,
such as convertible debt, options and warrants, diluted EPS. Had SFAS No. 128
been effective for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, basic EPS and
diluted EPS would not have been significantly different from the reported net
loss per share. The FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for
fiscal 1998. The company is currently evaluating the impact of these statements
on the financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS INCLUDES A NUMBER OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH REFLECT THE
COMPANY'S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.
THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES,
INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND IN THE OTHER REPORTS FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, THAT COULD CAUSE RESULTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM HISTORICAL RESULTS OR THOSE ANTICIPATED.  IN THIS REPORT THE
WORDS "EXPECTS", "ANTICIPATES", "BELIEVES" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS IDENTIFY
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE HEREOF.

OVERVIEW

The Company provides open architecture, fully-integrated on-line information
management solutions that enable relationship-oriented financial institutions to
efficiently manage their businesses and offer real-time customized financial
services 24 hours per day, seven days per week.  These solutions allow the
Company's customers to provide among other things financial services such as
checking, savings and investment accounts, credit and debit cards, ATM access
and consumer lending.  The Company's products are currently targeted primarily
to large and mid-sized credit unions.  

The Company derives its revenues from software license fees, maintenance fees,
service bureau operation fees and disaster recovery services, custom
development, training and installation services and sales of third party
software and hardware products. A significant portion of the Company's revenues
are derived from substantial contracts with organizations that have long
decision-making cycles, typically from six to twelve months. The decision to
purchase the Company's products is followed by an installation and training
cycle, which is labor-intensive and generally requires from three to twelve
months to complete.

Each new customer system consists of the Company's ULTRAFIS product which may be
combined with selected client-server applications, hardware and services.  The
Company expects revenues related to the ULTRAFIS system to represent a
significant portion of its total revenues for the next several years.

The high volume of system sales in 1995 and 1996 and the introduction and demand
for the Company's new client-server applications across its customer base,
exceeded the capacity of the Company's training, installation and customer
support organizations during the last twelve months. In addition, the Company's
customers expressed strong demand for the new client-server applications causing
the Company to release certain products before implementation of an effective
product field testing process.  Customer difficulties occurred as certain
product errors and failures arose and as customers became aware of certain
perceived functionality issues.  As a result, broad market acceptance did not
occur, and the Company made some economic accommodations to resolve the product
issues.  These difficulties resulted in an increase in the Company's unbilled
revenues, a significant increase in the Company's reserve for doubtful accounts
and sales returns and contributed to significant decreases in new customers and
software sales during the last two quarters of 1996 and the first quarter of
1997.

Improved operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 reflect steps
taken to correct these difficulties and failures.  Second quarter sales and
gross margins were higher and operating expenses were substantially lower than
any of the preceding three quarters.

The Company's employee headcount at June 30, 1997 was 205 compared to 305 at
December 31, 1996  The headcount reductions were primarily in administrative and
management overhead positions across the Company and were combined with a
reallocation of Company resources to focus on client-server product lines,
product standardization and customer support.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

The Company's revenues are generated from software licenses, hardware sales,
maintenance support and various installation and support services.  Revenues for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 decreased 33% to $8.7 million compared to
$12.9 million for the same period last year.  However, revenues increased $2.2
million, or 34%, in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 1997.
Software sales accounted for half of the increase.

The following table sets forth the Company's revenues, gross margins and gross
margin percentages for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively:

</TABLE>

Software revenues decreased 58% from $5.0 million in the second quarter of
1996 to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 1997. The decrease was due
primarily to a reduction in the number of new customer contracts signed and
a reduction in sales volume of the Company's client-server applications.

Maintenance revenues increased 28% from $2.0 million in the second quarter of
1996 to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily a
result of growth in the number of credit unions using ULTRADATA systems.  The
Company's installed customer base grew from approximately 171 systems on June
30, 1996 to approximately 185 systems on June 30, 1997.

Services and other revenues decreased 3% from $2.1 million in the second quarter
of 1996 to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 1997.  The decline was mainly
attributable to decreases in training and installation activities due to lower
sales volumes during the last twelve months.  Services and other revenues also
includes custom development, service bureau operation fees and disaster recovery
contracts.

Hardware revenues decreased from $3.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 to
$2.1 million in the second quarter of 1997. This 47% decrease was primarily
attributable to the decrease in the number of new customer hardware purchases
and customer product installations during the last twelve months.  The Company's
high volume of shipments during the first six months of 1996 were due to the
number of new order's received during the second half of 1995 requiring delivery
during the first six months of 1996.  The percentage of hardware revenues
depends on the mix of customer orders and the timing of particular customer
installations and can be expected to fluctuate substantially from quarter to
quarter.

GROSS MARGIN

Total gross margin as a percentage of total revenue declined 3% from 45% in the
second quarter of 1996 to 42% in second quarter of 1997 primarily due to the
reduced proportion of software sales.

Software gross margin as a percentage of software revenue improved 5% due to a
lower proportion of sales of software purchased and licensed from third parties.
This change in mix was due to the lower volume of orders for upgrades and new
customer sales requiring third party software.

The gross margin percentage from maintenance revenues for the second quarter of
1997 was unchanged from the 1996 quarter.

The gross margin percentage from services and other revenues increased by 11%
for the second quarter of 1997 primarily reflecting improved cost controls
established during the first six months of 1997, as well as a favorable mix of
higher margin service bureau and disaster recovery services and lower margin
training and installation services.

Hardware gross margin as a percentage of hardware revenues increased 6% for the
second quarter of 1997 due to the mix of hardware shipped during the second
quarter of 1997.

</TABLE>

Product Development expenses decreased 19% to $1.1 million compared to $1.4
million for the same quarter of the prior year. These costs were primarily for
staffing to support new product development programs such as Ultra-Access Remote
Banking modules, Optical Disk Systems modules, product enhancements, and
regulatory compliance. Product development expenses as a percentage of total
revenues increased from 11% to 13% during the second quarter of 1997 compared to
the same quarter of 1996 primarily as a result of the reduction in revenues
compared to the prior year.

Sales, marketing, support and general and administrative expenses decreased to
$3.3 million in second quarter of 1997 from $3.5 million in second quarter 1996.
The decrease was primarily due to staff reductions.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from  27% to
37% principally due to the decrease in revenues in 1997 which more than offset
the effect of the reduction of $0.3 million in expenses.


FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company's operating performance is subject to various risks and
uncertainties as discussed in this report and in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 1997, as
amended. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the 
Form 10-K, particularly "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial

                                       7

Condition and Results of Operations" contained therein. The Company's future
operating results will depend upon demand for its products and its ability to
enhance its existing products and introduce new products on a timely basis. The
Company must also manage growth and change effectively as failure to do so could
materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

Installation of the Company's ULTRAFIS system is a complex process that must
typically be done without any disruption of the customer's service. In 1996 the
Company experienced difficulty in the installation and training process on
several conversions, resulting in delays, reductions in revenues and increases
in expenses primarily as a result of the increase in new customer activity in
1996 and the failure of the Company's training and installation organization to
perform to contract schedules. Failure by the Company to successfully install an
ULTRAFIS system could result in significant loss of revenue in a particular
quarter and fluctuation in the Company's results of operations. Although the
Company schedules the installations of its products several months in advance,
its ability to achieve its revenue plans, both in the near term and in the long
term, depends on the Company's continued ability to sign new customer contracts
and to complete such contracts on schedule. Failure to close new customer
contracts as a result of lost sales or deferrals of customer decisions could
have a material adverse impact on the future operating results. There can be no
assurance that sales or installations will continue to occur at historical rates
or in accordance with the Company's expectations.

The Company has previously experienced delays in the development and
introduction of new products and product enhancements, including certain of its
client- server products.  The length of these delays has varied depending upon
the size and scope of the project and the nature of the problems encountered.
Any significant delay in the development of new products, or the failure of
these new products, if and when installed, to achieve a significant degree of
market acceptance, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's quarterly and annual revenues and operating results have varied
significantly in the past, and may do so in the future.  Operating results may
fluctuate due to factors such as the demand for the Company's products, the
introduction and acceptance of new products and product enhancements by the
Company or its competitors, changes in the levels of operating expenses,
customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products, competitive conditions
in the credit union and financial services markets and economic conditions
generally or in various industry segments.  In addition, a significant portion
of the Company's business has been derived from substantial contracts with large
organizations with long decision-making cycles, and the timing of such orders
has caused material fluctuations in the Company's operating results.  The
Company's expense levels are based in part on its expectations regarding future
revenues and in the short term are fixed to a large extent.  Therefore, the
Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for
any unexpected revenue shortfall.  As a result, if anticipated revenues do not
occur or are delayed, the Company's operating results would be
disproportionately affected.  The Company expects quarterly and annual
fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company
believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results should not
be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

In addition, software products as complex as those offered by the Company often
contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions
are released.  There can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company
and by current and potential customers, errors will not be found in new products
after commencement of commercial shipments.  The occurrence of such errors could
result in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of the Company's products,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Substantially all of the Company's revenues historically have been related to
the Company's ULTRAFIS system, and the Company expects that for several years a
substantial portion of its revenues will continue to be related to the ULTRAFIS
system.  The Company is also dependent upon the success of its new client-server
products.  The Company's success will depend in large part on its ability to
sell, install, maintain and enhance the ULTRAFIS system and client-server
products and to develop, on a timely and cost-effective basis, utilizing new
technologies, application modules that meet evolving customer needs.  Any
failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to new and
changing market conditions, enhance the ULTRAFIS system and develop application
modules, compete with new product offerings by third parties, complete new
stand alone product offerings, respond to emerging industry standards, adapt to
changing technologies, maintain sales of the Company's products, or continue to
sign and complete new customer contracts would have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations.

On October 25, 1996 the U.S. District Court ruled that federal credit unions may
not extend membership benefits to individuals who are not part of the credit
union's original charter group.  This ruling imposes limits on new customers
that a federal credit union may attract.  As a result, some federal credit
unions have expressed a reluctance to pursue extensive capital purchases until
the impact of the ruling is further assessed.  Accordingly, if this ruling
results in deferred customer purchase decisions for the Company's products, it
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, and results of operations.  While federal credit unions represent
approximately 60% of all credit unions, less than half of these credit unions
are affected by this ruling.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's management believes current cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, expected cash generated from operations and the available bank line
of credit factoring agreement will satisfy its expected working capital and
capital expenditure requirements through the immediate future.

In May 1997, the Company entered into a factoring agreement which provides for
borrowing by the Company of up to $1.5 million, to be effected by the bank's
purchase of eligible accounts receivable and payment to the Company of an amount
equal to 80% of the purchased accounts receivable. Purchases of receivables and
corresponding advances to the Company are at the discretion of the bank. There
is a 0.5% administrative fee for each receivable purchased and a 1.75% monthly
finance charge for as long as each purchased receivable remains outstanding. The
factoring agreement renews, unless terminated by the Company or the bank, in
April 1998 and is terminable by the Company or the bank at any time. The
agreement also provides that the borrowings are secured by all tangible and
intangible assets of the Company. As part of the factoring agreement, no further
draws will be available under the prior capital equipment facility and the
Company established cash collateral for this balance. As of June 30, 1997 the
Company has not drawn on the factoring facility but has an outstanding balance
of $657,000 on the prior capital equipment facility. The Company expects to pay
off this balance and relieve the cash collateral by obtaining asset-backed
lending from another source.

Capital expenditures of $1.9 million during the first two quarters of 1997 were
primarily for furniture and leasehold improvements related to the Company's
occupancy of new office facility during February 1997.

Net cash provided by operations was $.5 $0.2 million for the six months ending
June 30, 1997, including the $3.4 million net loss for the first half of 1997.
For the quarter ending June 30, 1996, net cash used for operations was $3.5 $7.3
million. Unbilled revenue decreased to $3.6 million at June 30, 1997 compared to
$3.9 million at December 31, 1996 and to the June 30, 1996 balance of $8.5
million. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to realize
such improvements in the future or that collections of amounts billed will occur
as expected.

from time to time.  USSI will not allow the removal or defacement of any
confidentiality or proprietary notice placed on the items of Information.  The
placement of copyright notices on these items will not constitute publication or
otherwise impair their confidential nature.

     b.  OWNERSHIP.  All patents, copyrights, software designs and layouts,
         ---------                                                         
trade secrets and other proprietary rights in or related to the Products are and
will remain the exclusive property of USSI or its licensors, whether or not
specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law.  Distributor will not
take any action that jeopardizes USSI's or its licensors' proprietary rights or
acquire any right in the Products or Information, except the limited use rights
specified in Paragraph 9(c).  Unless otherwise agreed on a case-by-case basis,
USSI or its licensor will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification,
adaptation or derivation of the Products , whether made by or for Distributor or
other items of Information, including any improvement or development thereof.
Distributor will obtain, at USSI's request, the execution of any instrument that
may be appropriate to assign these rights to USSI or its licensor or perfect
these rights in USSI's or its licensor's name.

     c.  USE.  Distributor will use the Products and other items of Information
         ---

source or object code of the Products or any other item that USSI designates as
confidential to any person, except to (i) customers as and to the extent
contemplated under an executed Software Agreement and (ii) those of
Distributor's employees and contractors who require access to perform its
obligations under this Agreement and have executed a confidentiality agreement
substantially similar to that attached as Exhibit D (the "Confidentiality
Agreement").  Distributor will execute all Confidentiality Agreements as
principal on its own behalf and, exclusively to accept or otherwise perfect
USSI's rights thereunder, as agent on behalf of USSI.  At USSI's request,
Distributor will provide USSI with copies of all Confidentiality Agreements.  In
no event will Distributor amend or cancel any Confidentiality Agreement without
USSI's prior approval.

     e.  UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE.  Distributor acknowledges that any
         ------------------------------                                    
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Products or any other item of Information
may cause irreparable damage to USSI or its licensors.  If an unauthorized use
or disclosure occurs, Distributor will promptly notify USSI and take, at
Distributor's expense, all steps which are necessary to recover the Product or
Information and to prevent its subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination,
including availing itself of actions for seizure and injunctive relief.  If
Distributor fails to take these steps in a timely and adequate manner, USSI may
take them in its own or Distributor's name and at Distributor's expense.

     f.  LIMITATION.  Distributor will have no confidentiality obligation with
         ----------                                                           
respect to any portion of the Information that (i) Distributor independently
knew or developed before receiving the Products or Information from USSI, (ii)
Distributor lawfully obtained from a third party under no obligation of
confidentiality or (iii) became available to the public other than as a result
of an act or omission of Distributor or any of its employees or customers.
Under any of these circumstances, Distributor will notify USSI at least 30 days
before disclosing such portion of the Information to any other person.

     g.  THE AGREEMENT.  Except as required for governmental regulatory
         -------------                                                 
reporting purposes, neither party shall disclose the existence or contents of
this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party.

10.  MARKS

     a.  OWNERSHIP.  All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos or other

words or symbols identifying the Products or USSI's business (the "Marks") are
and will remain the exclusive property of USSI or its licensors, whether or not
specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law.  Distributor will not
take any action that jeopardizes USSI's or its licensors' proprietary rights or
acquire any right in the Marks, except the limited use rights specified in
Paragraph 10(b).  Distributor will not register, directly or indirectly, any
trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright, company name or other
proprietary or commercial right which is identical or confusingly similar to the
Marks.

                                    Page 9
<PAGE>
 
     b.  USE.  Distributor will use the Marks exclusively to advertise and
         ---                                                              
promote the Products within the Territory.  All advertisements and promotional
materials will (i) clearly identify USSI or its licensors as the owner of the
Marks, (ii) conform to USSI's then-current trademark and logo guidelines.
Before publishing or disseminating any advertisement or promotional materials
bearing a Mark, Distributor will deliver a sample of the advertisement or
promotional materials to USSI for prior approval.  USSI has thirty days to
approve or disapprove of such material.  If USSI notifies Distributor that the
use of the Mark is inappropriate, Distributor will not publish or otherwise
disseminate the advertisement or promotional materials until they have been
modified to USSI's satisfaction.

     c.  INFRINGEMENT.  Distributor will immediately notify USSI if Distributor
         ------------                                                          
learns (i) of any potential infringement of the Marks by a third party or (ii)
that the use of the Marks may infringe the proprietary rights of a third party.
USSI will determine the steps to be taken under these circumstances.
Distributor will (i) provide USSI with the assistance that USSI may reasonably
request and (ii) take no steps on its own without USSI's prior approval.

     d.  TERMINATION BY DISTRIBUTOR DURING NINETY-DAY EVALUATION PERIOD.
         --------------------------------------------------------------  
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Distributor may terminate this Agreement
upon Distributor's reasonable determination that (i) the performance of the

on the proposed hardware platform configuration or (ii) the parties are unable
to agree upon a project plan  including USSI milestones for live installations
at a non-terminal driving customer site and a terminal driving customer (the

Agreements, but only if Distributor certifies that (i) it has performed the
services to which the charges relate and (ii) the unpaid charges are collectable
from the customers. Distributor will refund such payment to USSI or its designee
if the customer fails to pay these charges within 90 days after the assignment

defense or settlement. This Section will not be construed to limit or exclude
any other claims or remedies which USSI may assert under this Agreement or by
law.

in this Agreement, Distributor will neither have nor represent itself to have
any authority to act on USSI's behalf.

convene at least once in Phoenix, Arizona, to endeavor in good faith to amicably
resolve the controversy or claim.

     b.  PROCEEDING.  To initiate arbitration, either party will file the
         ----------                                                      
appropriate notice at the Regional Office of the AAA in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A.
The arbitration proceeding will take place during a period not exceeding 120
days in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A., and will be conducted in the English language.
The arbitration panel will consist of 3 arbitrators, one arbitrator appointed by
each party and a third neutral arbitrator appointed by the AAA. Any
communication between a party and any arbitrator will be directed to the AAA for
transmittal to the arbitrator. The parties expressly agree that the arbitrators
will be empowered to, at USSI's request, (i) issue an interim order or award
requiring Distributor to cease using the Products or Information pending the
outcome of the arbitration or (ii) grant injunctive relief.

     c.  AWARD.  The arbitral award will be the exclusive remedy of the parties
         -----                                                                 
for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the
arbitrators.  The award will (i) be granted and paid in U.S. Dollars exclusive
of any tax, deduction or offset and (ii) include interest from the date of
breach or other violation of the Agreement until the award is fully paid,
computed at the then-prevailing LIBOR rate.  Judgment upon the arbitral award
may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction thereof.  Any additional
costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the arbitral award will be charged
against the party that resists its enforcement.

     d.  LEGAL ACTIONS.  Nothing in this Section will prevent USSI from seeking
         -------------

outstanding and past due debts in the courts of the Territory.

<PAGE>
 
                         GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                         ----------------------------



1.  PRODUCTS.
    -------- 

"Products" means (i) the machine-readable object code version of the software
that USSI of ___________________,_________, U.S.A. ("USSI") makes available
through Distributor and described in the Product Schedule, whether embedded on
disc, tape or other media, for use on the computer platform specified in the
Product Software (the "Software"), (ii) the published user manuals and
documentation that Distributor makes generally available for the Software (the
"Documentation"), (iii) the updates or revisions of the Software or
Documentation that Distributor may offer to Customer pursuant to Section 5 (the
"Updates") and (iv) any copy of the Software, Documentation or Updates.  Nothing
in this Agreement will entitle Customer to receive the source code of the
Software or Updates, in whole or in part.

2.  DESIGNATED HARDWARE.
    ------------------- 

"Designated Hardware" means the hardware equipment specified in the Product
Schedule.  Customer may use the Products only on the Designated Hardware while
it possesses and operates the Designated Hardware. If the Designated Hardware
becomes temporarily inoperable Customer may load and use the Software and
related Updates on another of its computer hardware systems at the same location
until the Designated Hardware becomes operable, but in no event for more than 30
days. Any other use or transfer of the Software or related Updates will require
Distributor's prior approval, which may be subject to additional charges.

3.  USE.
    --- 

Customer may use the Products only in and for Customer's own internal purposes
and business operations. Customer will not permit any other person to use the
Products, whether on a time sharing, remote job entry or other multiple user
arrangement.  Customer will not install the Software or any updates on a network
or other multi-user computer system unless otherwise specified in the Product
Schedule, in which case the Designated Hardware may be used to provide database
or file services to other of Customer's computers across the network, up to the
number of concurrent users specified in the Product Schedule.  Customer may make
only one back-up archival copy of the Software and any related Update.  Customer
will reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of these
copies and maintain an accurate record of the location of each of these copies.
Customer will not otherwise copy, translate, modify, adapt, decompile,
disassemble or reverse engineer the Products.

4.  PAYMENT.
    ------- 

Customer will pay to Distributor the Software License Fee specified in the
Product Schedule in the currency and by the date specified in the Product
Schedule. All amounts specified in the Product Schedule are exclusive of any
applicable value added, use, sales, service, property or other taxes or
contributions, which Customer will pay in addition to the amount due and
payable. Any amount not paid when due will accrue interest at the rate of ____%.
Customer will pay such interest when remitting the principal amount to
Distributor.

5.  MAINTENANCE.
    ----------- 

Distributor will provide Customer, at no additional charge with the Updates that
USSI may make generally available during the initial 12-month maintenance period
specified in the Product 

                                    Page 2
<PAGE>
 
Schedule. Customer may elect to continue receiving the said Updates for
additional 12-month periods by paying Distributor its then current maintenance
fee. The maintenance fee shall be payable annually in advance. The current
maintenance fee is specified in the Product Schedule. Customer shall install the
Updates only on the Designated Hardware. IF an Update replaces the prior version
of the Software, Customer will destroy such prior version upon installing the
Update. This Paragraph will not be interpreted to require USSI to (i) develop
and release Updates or (ii) customize the Updates to satisfy Customer's
particular requirements. The Updates will not include any new products that USSI
decides, in its sole discretion, to make generally available as a separately
priced upgrade or option.

6.  LIMITED WARRANTIES.
    ------------------ 

(a) Warranty.  Distributor warrants that (i) the Products will conform to USSI's
    --------
published specifications in effect on the date of delivery and (ii) the Products
will perform substantially as described in the accompanying Documentation after
delivery for the warranty period specified in the Product Schedule. Customer
acknowledges that (i) the Products may not satisfy all of Customer's
requirements and (ii) the use of the Products may not be uninterrupted or error-
free.  Customer further acknowledges that (i) the Software License Fee and other
charges contemplated under this Agreement are based on the limited warranty,
disclaimers and limitation of liability specified in Sections 6, 7 and 8 and
(ii) such charges would be substantially higher if any of these provisions were
unenforceable.(c)

(b)  Remedies.  In case of breach of warranty or any other duty related to the
     --------
quality of the Products, Distributor or its representative will correct or
replace any defective Product or, if not practicable, Distributor will accept
the return of the defective Product and refund to Customer (i) the amount
actually paid to Distributor for the defective Product, less depreciation based
on a 5-year straight line depreciation schedule, and (ii) a pro rata share of
any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to Distributor for the period
that such product was not usable. Customer acknowledges that this Paragraph sets
forth Customer's exclusive remedy, and Distributor's exclusive liability, for
any breach of warranty or other duty related to the quality of the Products.

(c) Disclaimer.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES,
    ----------
CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE
PRODUCTS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY DISTRIBUTOR, ITS LICENSORS OR REPRESENTATIVES OR OTHERWISE
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.

7.  INDEMNITY.
    --------- 

(a) Indemnity.  If an action is brought against Customer claiming that a Product
    ---------
infringes a patent or copyright within the jurisdiction where the Designated
Hardware is situated (the "Territory"), Distributor will defend Customer at
Distributor's expense and, subject to this Section and Section 8, pay the
damages and costs finally awarded against Distributor in the infringement
action, but only if (i) Customer notifies Distributor promptly upon learning
that the claim might be asserted, (ii) Distributor or USSI has sole control over
the defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise
and (iii) Customer takes no action that, in Distributor's judgment, is contrary
to Distributor's or USSI's interest.

                                    Page 3
<PAGE>
 
(b) Alternately Remedy. If a claim described in Paragraph 7(a) may be or has
    ------------------
been asserted, Customer will permit Distributor, at Distributor's option and
expense, to (i) procure the right to continue using the Product, (ii) replace or
modify the Product to eliminate the infringement while providing functionally
equivalent performance or (iii) accept the return of the Product and refund to
Customer the amount actually paid to Distributor for such Product, less
depreciation based on a 5 year straight-line depreciation schedule and a pro
rata share of any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to Distributor
for the period that such Product was not usable.

(c) Limitation.  Distributor shall have no indemnity obligation to Customer
    ----------
under this Section if the patent or copyright infringement claim results from
(i) a correction or modification of the Product not provided by USSI, (ii) the
failure to promptly install an Update or (iii) the combination of the Product
with other non-USSI software.

8. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
   ------------------------ 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL DISTRIBUTOR, USSI OR THEIR LICENSORS OR
REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED
ON CUSTOMER'S CLAIMS OR THOSE OF ITS CUSTOMERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, USE OF MONEY OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS,
INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA, STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR
IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS), ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT ONLY IN THE CASE OF DEATH OR PERSONAL
INJURY WHERE AND TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES SUCH LIABILITY.  IN
NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY WHICH DISTRIBUTOR, USSI OR THEIR LICENSORS
OR REPRESENTATIVES MAY INCUR IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT
ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT DIRECTLY CAUSED THE
DAMAGE.

9. OWNERSHIP.
   --------- 

All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other
proprietary rights in or related to the Products are and will remain the
exclusive property of USSI or its designees, whether or not specifically
recognized or perfected under local applicable law. Customer will not take any
action that jeopardizes USSI's or its designee's proprietary rights or acquire
any right in the Products, except the limited use rights specified in Section 4.
USSI or its designee will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification,
adaptation or derivation of the Products, including any improvement or
development thereof.  Customer will obtain, at Distributor's request, the
execution of any instrument that may be appropriate to assign these rights to
USSI or its designee or perfect these rights in USSI's or its designee's name.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY.
    --------------- 

(A) Confidentiality.  Customer acknowledges that the Products incorporate
    ---------------
confidential and proprietary information developed or acquired by or licensed to
USSI.  Customer will take all reasonable precautions necessary to safeguard the
confidentiality of the Products, including (i) those taken by Customer to
protect Customer's own confidential information and (ii) those which 

                                    Page 4
<PAGE>
 
Distributor or its authorized representative may reasonably request from time to
time. Customer will not allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality
or proprietary notice placed on the Products. The placement of copyright notices
on these items will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their
confidential nature.

(b) Disclosure.  Customer will not disclose, in whole or in part, any item of
    ----------
the Products that has been designated as confidential to any individual, entity
or other person, except to those of Customer's employees or consultants who (i)
require access for Customer's authorized use of the Products and (ii) agree to
comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions applicable to the Products
under this Agreement.  If requested by Distributor, Customer shall cause such
employees and consultants to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements.
Customer acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Products
may cause irreparable damage to USSI, its licensors and Distributor. If an
unauthorized use or disclosure occurs, Customer will immediately notify
Distributor and take, at Customer's expense, all steps which may be available to
recover the Products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use or
dissemination.

(c) Limitation.  Customer will have no confidentiality obligation with respect
    ----------
to any portion of the Products that (i) Customer independently developed before
receiving the Products under this Agreement, (ii) Customer lawfully obtained
from a third party under no confidentiality obligation or (iii) became available
to the public other than as a result of any act or omission by Customer or any
of Customer's employees or consultants.

11. TERMINATION.
    ----------- 

Customer may terminate this Agreement, without right to refund, by notifying
Distributor of such termination.  Distributor may terminate this Agreement, upon
reasonable notice and without judicial or administrative resolution, if Customer
or any of Customer's employees or consultants breach any term or condition
hereof.  This Agreement will terminate automatically if Customer becomes
insolvent or enters into bankruptcy, suspension of payments, moratorium,
reorganization or any other proceeding that relates to insolvency or protection
of creditor's rights.  Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
all rights granted to Customer hereunder will cease, and Customer will promptly
(i) purge the Software and any related Updates from the Designated Hardware and
all of Customer's other computer systems, storage media and other files, (ii)
destroy the Products and all copies thereof and (iii) deliver to Distributor an
affidavit which certifies that Customer has complied with these termination
obligations.  The provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10, and 12 will survive the
termination of this Agreement.

12. U.S. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS.
    ------------------------ 

Customer acknowledges that the Products and all related technical information,
documents and materials are subject to export controls under the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations.  Customer may not re-export or divert the Products
or any related technical information, document or material, or direct products
thereof, to any of the following countries or to any resident thereof, unless
Customer has obtained an appropriate authorization from USSI and the U.S.
Commerce Department and any relevant local governmental authority:  Afghanistan,
Albania, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cuba, Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, Iran,
Iraq, Laos, Libya, Mongolia, North Korea, People's Republic of China, Poland,
Romania, Syria, Vietnam and the jurisdictions that formerly comprised the Union

13. INSPECTION.
    ---------- 

During the term of this Agreement, Distributor or its representative may, upon
prior notice to Customer, inspect the files, computer processors, equipment and
facilities of Customer during normal working hours to verify Customer's
compliance with this Agreement.  While conducting such inspection, Distributor
or its representative will be entitled to copy any item that Customer may
possess in violation of this Agreement.

14. USSI'S RIGHTS.
    ------------- 

Customer acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are intended to
inure to the benefit of USSI. If Customer breaches any of these provisions, USSI
will be entitled to enforce this Agreement directly against Customer, whether in
Distributor's or USSI's name.  Customer further acknowledges that Distributor
executes this Agreement as principal on its own behalf and, exclusively to
accept or otherwise perfect USSI's rights against Customer, as agent on behalf
of USSI.

15. ASSIGNMENT.
    ---------- 

Customer shall not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without Distributor's prior approval.  If
Distributor ceases to be USSI's authorized distributor for any reason, this
Agreement may be assigned to USSI or its designee effective immediately upon
notice from USSI, and Customer consents to such assignment in advance.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.
    ------------- 

All notices or approvals required or permitted under this Agreement must be
given in writing.  Any waiver or modification of this Agreement will not be
effective unless executed in writing and signed by Distributor and approved by

Agreement will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
territory (country).  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding will not affect the validity of
the other provisions of this Agreement, unless Distributor in good faith deems
the unenforceable provision to be essential, in which case Distributor may
terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to Customer.  This
Agreement constitutes the complete and entire statement of all conditions and
representations of the agreement between Distributor and Customer with respect
to its subject matter and supersedes all prior writings or understandings.

                           USSI TRAVEL EXPENSE POLICY
                           --------------------------



Here is an outline of USSI's employee travel expense policy. I've broken this
down into 5 categories, Air Travel, Lodging, Ground Transportation, Meals, and
Incidental Travel Expenses.


LODGING
- -------

Hotel accommodations are coordinated through the company's travel agent. The
travel agent is responsible for selecting rooms based on circumstances and
corporate programs in place. Hotels are to be moderately priced, and afford
acceptable degrees of comfort, convenience, and security.

Suggestions by ULTRADATA on a hotel that they would prefer for us to use would
be welcome.


AIR TRAVEL
- ----------

Our travel agent is responsible for booking the lowest priced fare for all
travel. Exceptions to taking the lowest priced fare must be authorized by the
employee's manager.

Air travel is booked as far in advance as possible to take advantage of discount
fares.

Only Coach Class reservations are permitted.


GROUND TRANSPORTATION
- ---------------------

Car rentals are used when the efficient conduct of business precludes less
expensive means of transportation. Employees traveling in groups should share
rental cars to minimize expense.

Car rentals are coordinated through our travel agent. Cars are selected based on
circumstances and corporate programs that impact the cost. The size of cars are
limited to compact or medium unless group size requires a larger vehicle.


MEALS
- -----

Meals and incidental costs incurred by employees while traveling are reimbursed
in the form of a Per Diem allowance.
<PAGE>
 
The per diem covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, tips, cleaning, laundry, and other
miscellaneous items.

Per Diem for the Oakland California area is currently $33.00


INCIDENTAL TRAVEL EXPENSES
- --------------------------

Other certain incidental  but reasonable and necessary travel expenses that can
be billed are as follows.

1 personal phone call per day of reasonable length of time.

Laundry charges if the employee's trip extends for more than one week.

Tips for hotel and airline porters at $1.00 per bag.

USSI STANDARD MAINTENANCE SERVICES


     CUSTOMER HOTLINE



     Clients are provided access to a 24 hour, 7 day a week telephone assistance
     service.  Hotline staff work with callers to resolve performance problems
     or answer questions.  Calls are logged, and tracked until resolved.


     CUSTOMER SUPPORT MANAGER

     An Account Manager is assigned to each customer.  Account Managers channel
     information between the customer and USSI.  The individual maintains a
     continuous formal record of all information exchanged with, and services
     delivered to clients.  Your Account Manager will help you with a wide range
     of tasks:

       -  Response to general inquiries

       -  Document modification requirements

       -  Represent modification requirements to designers and track development
     
       -  Interface with Hotline agents to resolve problems and answer questions

       -  Package and deliver software

       -  Announce and schedule training and respond to special requests for
          education classes

       -  Provide and discuss enhancement/new product details

       -  Coordinate onsite services of technical staff

     A complete description of activities and responsibilities is provided in
     the next section - Customer Support Services.


     PUBLICATIONS

     Maintenance customers receive regular updates of applicable system
     documentation.  In addition, we distribute  product announcements,
     enhancement announcements and other formal communiques.
<PAGE>
 
     MAINTENANCE RELEASES



     As part of our standard maintenance, USSI provides timely updates of
     current software to provide regulatory and product changes.  These releases
     are provided with sufficient lead time to meet industry and regulatory
     requirements.  Installation instructions are included.


     UPGRADES/ENHANCEMENTS

     In response to user groups and competitive forces, USSI regularly makes
     improvements to individual products.  These enhancements or upgrades come
     in the form of additional features and options that improve operations or
     expand your markets. These upgrades are delivered in the same manner as
     maintenance releases and may be combined with maintenance releases to
     simplify implementation.


     MAINTENANCE AND CUSTOM SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS

     Custom Software Modifications effect the compatibility of Maintenance and
     Upgrade releases.  The existence of customer-specific programs does not
     preclude maintenance and upgrade releases.  However, for these special
     situations, installation of maintenance and upgrade releases becomes a
     custom process.  USSI designs customized installation programs for the re-
     integration of Custom Software Modifications.  This service is supplied
     routinely to Extended Maintenance customers (explained later in this
     document) or selectively on a contractual basis each time a release is made
     available.
<PAGE>
 
SECTION 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOMER HOTLINE SERVICE

USSI provides maintenance customers with 24 hour support to resolve software
problems and respond to questions about any aspect of products or services.
Support is supplied by the Customer Hotline.

Agents at the Hotline work with clients to identify and document problems or
questions and formulate appropriate action plans.  Clients should select a
representative who will act as the primary liaison for Hotline contact.  Fast
problem resolution is the goal of our service.  To accomplish this we rely on
accurate communications from those seeking solutions.  Guidelines for
registering inquiries include:

     -  Identify yourself, organization and software products used

     -  Identify the version of the application software indicating a problem.
     -  Describe the problem in detail.
     -  A description should include:

        -  accurate references to screens, reports, symptoms

        -  specific step-by-step process description so that our technicians can
           replicate the condition, when necessary for resolving problems

        -  information about the impact of the problem so that a priority can be
           assigned.

Each record is assigned a Customer Reference Number and a priority.  The agent
then develops an action plan, which may include referral of the problem or
question to technicians, product managers or others.

Priorities have been developed so that we can identify the seriousness of an
inquiry and focus resources on problems that jeopardize clients' operations.  If
there is contention for limited technical resources, treatment of high priority
problems supersedes treatment of low priority inquiries.

Priority is determined through dialog between the hotline staff and the client
caller.  Four priority definitions are employed by our staff:


     CRITICAL (PRIORITY 1)

     The customer's production system or network is down or network control is
     in immediate jeopardy of going down.  Either online transaction processing
     or essential batch processing activities have ceased or are in eminent
     danger of stopping.
<PAGE>
 
USSI assigns resources immediately and makes efforts to remove the symptom.
Technicians develop and implement plans intended to restart systems and return
service to users.  Once service is returned, the problem may be reassigned to a
lower priority for careful research, identification of cause and correction of
conditions that may have lead to failure.

     SERIOUS (PRIORITY 2)

     The customer's production system is not down, but there is an impact to the
     system or networks.  The customer diagnosis is that should the problem
     persist, loss of online transaction processing or loss of critical batch
     operations will occur.  Included in this category are problems that
     obstruct certification or Go-live.

     USSI staff work to resolve symptoms and problems so that project plans are
     not subverted.

     INCONVENIENCE (PRIORITY 3)

     The problem is an inconvenience to the customer on either the production or
     test system.  There is no loss of service to online transaction processing.
     There is no interruption of critical batch processes.  Serious symptoms can
     be averted through operator intervention and special procedures prescribed
     by USSI technicians.

     INFORMATIONAL (PRIORITY 4)

     The problem is an operator inconvenience, or the customer has asked for
     information.  There is no serious impact on the end user of the system.
     The symptom or problem can be avoided by application of procedural steps
     executed by the operators.  There is no apparent danger of losing control
     of the system/network or data.

Customers who wish to check the status of a problem registered at the Hotline
may contact the Hotline operators or their own Account Manager. The customer
should reference the tracking number.

Each client's Account Manager monitors problems that client submitted to the
Hotline.  Regularly, the Account Manager reports to the client's primary contact
the status of all outstanding and recently resolved problems.

     USSI Product Management establishes these product support levels to best
     meet the on-going needs of the  TRANS24 customers.  Classification of a
     particular product module may be modified as customer and market demand
     change.

     The following outlines the services provided for each product support
     category, along with   an explanation of each service.

Section 2870 of the California Labor Code states as follows:  ANY PROVISION IN
AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES THAT AN EMPLOYEE SHALL ASSIGN, OR OFFER
TO ASSIGN, ANY OF HIS OR HER RIGHTS IN AN INVENTION TO HIS OR HER EMPLOYER SHALL
NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION THAT THE EMPLOYEE DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON HIS OR HER OWN
TIME WITHOUT USING THE EMPLOYER'S EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITIES, OR TRADE
SECRET INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THOSE INVENTIONS THAT EITHER:  (1) RELATE AT THE
TIME OF CONCEPTION OR REDUCTION TO PRACTICE OF THE INVENTION TO THE EMPLOYER'S
BUSINESS, OR ACTUALLY OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE
EMPLOYER, OR (2) RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE
EMPLOYER.  TO THE EXTENT A PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PURPORTS TO
REQUIRE AN EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN AN INVENTION OTHERWISE EXCLUDED FROM BEING
REQUIRED TO BE ASSIGNED UNDER CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870(a), THE

                              CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

      This Agreement is made as of this 22nd day of June, 1997. ("Agreement") by
and among UNUM Life Insurance Company of America ("Landlord"), ULTRADATA 
Corporation ("Tenant"), and 24 Hour Fitness, Inc. ("Subtenant"). Under a lease 
dated as of June 22nd, 1996, (as amended, the "Master Lease"), Landlord is 
leasing to Tenant approximately 25,535 square feet of space in the building 
located at 5020 Franklin Drive, Pleasanton, California ("Premises"). Landlord 
hereby consents to the subletting of the Premises by Tenant to Subtenant 
pursuant to a sublease ("Sublease") dated as of June 22, 1997, (copy attached as
Exhibit A). Landlord's consent is subject to the following conditions, to each 
of which Tenant and Subtenant expressly agree:

1.   Nothing contained in the Agreement shall:

     (a)    operate as a representation or warranty by Landlord, and Landlord
            shall not be bound or estopped in any way by the provisions of the
            Sublease;


     (b)    be construed to modify, waive, or affect (i) any provisions,
            covenants, or conditions in the Master Lease, (ii) any of Tenant's
            obligations under the Master Lease, (iii) any rights or remedies of
            Landlord under the Master Lease, or otherwise, or (iv) Landlord's
            obligations or Tenant's rights under the Master Lease, or otherwise;
            or


     (c)    be construed to waive any present or future breach or default of 
            Tenant under the Master Lease.

 
      In case of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
      provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Agreement shall
      prevail.

2.    The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the Master
      Lease and all of its provisions, covenants, and conditions. In case of
      conflict between the Master Lease and the Provisions of the Sublease, the
      provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail.

3.    Neither the Sublease nor this Agreement shall release or discharge Tenant
      from any liability under the Master Lease, and Tenant shall remain liable
      and responsible for the full performance and observance of all provisions,
      covenants, and conditions set forth in the Master Lease. Any breach or
      violation of provisions of the Master Lease by Subtenant shall be deemed a
      default by Tenant of the provision.

                                       1

<PAGE>
 
4.   This consent by Landlord shall not be construed as a consent by Landlord
     to any further subletting, either by Tenant or Subtenant. The Sublease may
     not be assigned, renewed, or extended, nor shall the Premises, or any part
     thereof, be further sublet without the prior written consent of Landlord.

5.   Sublessee and Master Landlord agree that, in the event of a termination or
     expiration of the Master Lease, (i) Sublessee shall attorn to Master
     Landlord and Master Landlord shall recognize the rights and interests of
     Sublessee under the Lease and the Sublease for a period not to exceed the
     first ten (10) years of the Sublease (five(5) years if Sublessee fails to
     exercise its first option to extend), and (ii) direct Landlord/Tenant
     privity shall exist between Master Landlord and Sublessee on the basis of
     the Sublease. Sublessee shall be afforded notice and an opportunity to cure
     any default under the Master Lease as provided therein.

6.   Sublessee hereby waives and relinquishes any right or claim against Master
     Lessor for damage to Sublessee's personal property at or on the Premises by
     way of subrogation or assignment, except if the damage was caused by Master
     Lessor's negligence. Master Lessor hereby waives and relinquishes any right
     or claim against Tenant for damages to the Premises by way of subrogation
     or assignment, except if the damage was caused by Tenant's negligence. To
     the extent that these damages are covered by insurance proceeds, Sublessee
     and Master Lessor agree to have their respective insurance policies
     endorsed to waive the carrier's right of recovery under subrogation and a
     certificate of insurance shall be available to either party on request
     verifying such waiver.

7.   Both Tenant and Subtenant shall be liable for all bills rendered by
     Landlord for charges incurred by or imposed upon subtenant for services
     rendered and materials supplied to the Premises pursuant to the terms of
     the Master Lease.

8.   Any notice under the Master Lease, the Sublease, or this Agreement given by
     any party hereto to another party hereto shall be given as required under
     paragraph 23 of the Master Lease, in the case of Subtenant at 5020
     Franklin Dr., Pleasanton, CA 94560 (address), or at such other address as a
     party may have designated by notice given in accordance with paragraph 23
     of the Master Lease.

9.   This Agreement (i) shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
     State of California; (ii) contains the entire agreement of the parties with
     respect to the subject matter hereof, and (iii) may not be changed or
     terminated orally or by course of conduct.

10.  The Sublease and this Agreement shall be attached to and incorporated into 
     the Master Lease identified in this Sublease.

11.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 9 of the Sublease and Article 3
     of Exhibit B to the Master Lease: (i) Sublessee's work shall be performed
     and administered by Sublessee, in accordance with plans submitted to Master
     Lessor for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
     delayed; (ii) Sublessee's work shall be performed by a contractor selected
     by Sublessee and approved by Master Lessor, which approval shall not be
     unreasonably withheld or delayed; (iii) Master Lessor shall reimburse
     Sublessee for such work up to $178,745.00, within thirty (30) days
     following Master Lessor's receipt of invoices and unconditional lien
     releases for such work from all parties involved in the construction,
     including contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen.
