1. PERCEPTA OBLIGATIONS

         i)     Percepta agrees to use its best efforts to jointly market the
                Services so that they are utilized to fulfill its mandate to
                provide CRM services to the Ford brands (including other auto

                dealers. To that end, it will endorse and recommend the

                Percepta agrees not to endorse, market or distribute any product

3. OTHER TERMS

         i)     Newgen agrees to pay Percepta a marketing fee ("Fee") which
                would be equal to a share of the revenue stream generated from
                the Services which is incremental to Newgen's October 2000
                revenue from the Services for Ford brand dealerships.
         ii)    Prior to November 30, 2000, Newgen will provide Percepta with
                a statement outlining October 2000 revenue from the Services
                (excluding Carabunga), and revenue from Carabunga. The October
                revenue from the Services and Carabunga will be the "Baseline
                Revenue".
         iii)   The Fee will equal to the difference between revenue
                generated each month from the Services (excluding Carabunga)
                provided to Ford brand dealers, and the Baseline Revenue,
                multiplied by 5%. In the case of Carabunga, the Fee will equal
                the difference between revenue generated each month from
                Carabunga services provided to Ford brand dealers, and the
                Baseline Revenue for Carabunga, multiplied by 2%.
         iv)    Newgen will provide an accounting of fees due, and remit
                payment to Percepta on a quarterly basis within 30 days
                following the end of each fiscal quarter. The first payment to
