               This Report relates to the common stock, par value

     $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Policy Management

     Systems Corporation (the "Company").  The Report on

     Schedule 13D filed by International Business Machines

     Corporation ("IBM") dated August 31, 1989 (the "Original

     Report"), as amended by IBM on November 9, 1989 ("Amendment

     No. 1"), is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth

     below.  The Original Report, as amended by Amendment No. 1

     is hereinafter referred to as "Schedule 13D".  All

     capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have

     the meanings ascribed to them in Schedule 13D.

               Pursuant to Section 232.101 of Regulation S-T,

     which provides that an amendment to a paper format

     Schedule 13D filed by a registrant that has become subject

     to mandated electronic filing shall be in electronic format

     and the first such amendment shall restate the entire text

     of the Schedule 13D, the Original Report and Amendment No. 1

     are being filed as part of this Report as Attachment 1 and

     Attachment 2 respectively, hereto and are hereby

     incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.  Because

     previously filed paper exhibits to a Schedule 13D are not

     required to be restated electronically, exhibits to the

     Original Report and Amendment No. 1 are not being refiled

     with this Report. 




     <PAGE>5



               The descriptions contained in this Report of

     certain agreements and documents are qualified in their

     entirety by reference to the complete texts of such

     agreements and documents, which have been filed as exhibits

     to the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Report, and

     incorporated by reference herein.



     Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction  

               Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by

     deleting the last two paragraphs thereto and replacing it

     with the following:  

               On April 26, 1994, IBM and the Company entered

     into a Stock Purchase Agreement, in which IBM agreed to sell

     and the Company agreed to buy, subject to customary closing

     conditions, 2,278,537 shares of Common Stock for the sum of

     $56,439,361.49 ($24.77 per share) subject to certain

     adjustments (the "Company Repurchase").  On May 16, 1994,

     the Company Repurchase was consummated for an adjusted

     aggregate amount of $56,299,082.62 (approximately $24.71 per

     share).  Additionally, on April 26, 1994, IBM, General

     Atlantic Partners 14, L.P. ("GAP 14") and GAP Coinvestment

     Partners ("GAP Coinvestment"; and together with GAP 14, the

     "Investors") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, in

     which IBM agreed to sell and GAP 14 and GAP Coinvestment  



     <PAGE>6



     agreed to buy, 1,367,122 and 151,902 shares of Common Stock,

     respectively, for an aggregate amount of $37,626,224.48

     ($24.77 per share) subject to certain adjustments (the

     "Investor Sale").  The closing of the Investor Sale is

     subject to certain closing conditions including i) the

     consummation of the sale of 2,278,537 shares of Common Stock

     by IBM to the Company, ii) the expiration of any applicable

     waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust

     Improvements Act of 1976, iii) the execution and delivery by

     the Company of a Shareholders' Agreement and Registration

     Rights Agreement to the Investors and iv) certain other

     customary conditions to closing.  After the closing of the

     Company Repurchase and the Investor Sale (3,797,561 shares

     of Common Stock in the aggregate), IBM will cease to

     beneficially own any shares of Common Stock other than

     41,500 shares of Common Stock held by an IBM pension fund.

               Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,

     IBM does not have any plans or proposals which relate to

     (a) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a

     merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company

     or any of its subsidiaries; (b) a sale or transfer of a

     material amount of assets of the Company or any of its

     subsidiaries; (c) any change in the present management of

     the Company or the present Board of Directors of the  




     <PAGE>7



     Company; (d) any material change in the present

     capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (e) any

     other material change in the Company's business or corporate

     structure; (f) changes in the Company's charter or By-laws

     or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control

     of the Company by any person; (g) causing a class of

     securities of the Company to cease to be authorized to be

     quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered

     national securities association; (h) a class of equity

     securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination

     of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the

     Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (i) any action similar

     to any of the foregoing actions.




     Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Company

               Item 5 is amended by deleting the entire text

     thereof and adding the following:

               Except for 41,500 shares of Common Stock (or 0.2%

     of the outstanding Common Stock) owned indirectly through a

     pension fund, the only shares of Common Stock that IBM

     beneficially owns are 1,519,024 shares of Common Stock (or

     7.5% of the outstanding Common Stock) that were issued on

     conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that IBM

     acquired under the Agreement.  IBM possesses the sole power  



     <PAGE>8



     to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose of or direct

     the disposition of all shares of Common Stock beneficially

     owned by it, subject to its obligations under the Agreement.

               On October 25, 1989, all the shares of Series A

     Preferred Stock held by IBM were automatically converted

     into an equal number of shares of Common Stock.  The

     Agreement required the Company to use its best efforts to

     obtain shareholder approval under the South Carolina Control

     Share Acquisitions Act of voting rights for IBM's Voting

     Securities, in the event that such Voting Securities

     represent one-fifth or more of all the voting power of the

     Company (within the meaning of such Act), but only to the

     extent that such Voting Securities represent no more than

     30% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company.  Upon

     the granting of such approval, as provided in the Agreement,

     all the Series A Preferred Stock was deemed converted into

     Common Stock.

               On April 26, 1994, IBM and the Company agreed to

     the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, in which IBM will

     sell 2,278,537 shares of Common Stock to the Company for the

     sum of $56,439,361.49 ($24.77 per share) subject to certain

     adjustments.  On May 16, 1994, the Company Repurchase was

     consummated for an adjusted aggregate amount of

     $56,299,082.62 (approximately $24.71 per share).   




     <PAGE>9



     Additionally, on April 26, 1994, IBM, GAP 14 and GAP

     Coinvestment agreed to the terms of a Stock Purchase

     Agreement, in which IBM will sell 1,367,122 and 151,902

     shares of Common Stock to GAP 14 and GAP Coinvestment,

     respectively, for an aggregate amount of $37,626,224.48

     ($24.77 per share) subject to certain adjustments.  As a

     result of the Company Repurchase and the Investor Sale which

     is expected to occur on or prior to June 30, 1994 (3,797,561

     shares of Common Stock in the aggregate), IBM will cease to

     beneficially own any shares of Common Stock other than

     41,500 shares of Common Shares held by an IBM pension fund.

               Except as described above and except as set forth

     in Schedule A, neither IBM nor, to the best of IBM's

     knowledge, any person named on Schedule A beneficially owns

     any shares of Common Stock or has effected any transactions

     in Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer  

               The information set forth under Item 4 and

     Exhibits 2 and 3 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

     Item 1.   Security and Issuer

               This statement relates to the Common Stock, par

     value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Policy

     Management Systems Corporation (the "Company"), a South

     Carolina corporation with its principal executive offices at

     1 PMS Center, Blythewood, South Carolina 29016.


     Item 2.   Identity and Background

               International Business Machines Corporation

     ("IBM") is a New York corporation with its principal office

     at Old Orchard Road, Armonk, New York, 10504.  The

     operations of IBM are principally in the field of

     information processing systems, software, communications

     systems and other products and services.  

               The attached Schedule I is a list of the executive

     officers and directors of IBM which contains the following

     information with respect to each such person:  

               (a)  name;

               (b)  business address;

               (c)  present principal occupation or employment

          and the name, principal business and address of any

          corporation or other organization in which such

          employment is conducted; and 

               (d)  citizenship.   



     <PAGE>20



               During the last five years, neither IBM nor, to

     the best of IBM's knowledge, any person named in Schedule I

     has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding

     traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a

     party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative

     body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such

     person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final

     order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or

     mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities

     laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  


     Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration

               Funds for the purchase of 3,797,561 shares issued

     by the Company pursuant to the Agreement described in Item 4

     in the amount of $116,775,001 were provided from IBM's own

     funds.  


     Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

               On July 26, 1989, IBM entered into a Stock

     Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Company,

     pursuant to which the Company issued and IBM acquired, on

     August 24, 1989, 3,797,561 shares of Series A Convertible

     Special Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A

     Preferred Stock").  Those shares were purchased for

     investment. 


     <PAGE>21



               The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into

     Common Stock at a one-to-one conversion ratio, subject to

     customary anti-dilution adjustments.  The Series A Preferred

     Stock will have one vote per share and will vote together

     with the Common Stock as one class.  Therefore, if all the

     Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, IBM will have

     3,797,561 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of

     stockholders of the Company, including the election of

     directors.

               In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock will

     entitle IBM, at its option, to cause the Board of Directors

     of the Company to be increased by one director and permit

     IBM to elect such additional director, so long as IBM owns

     Series A Preferred Stock representing at least 10% of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company (as defined in the

     Agreement).  "Outstanding Voting Power" of the Company for

     purposes of the Agreement means the total number of votes

     which may be cast in the election of directors if all Voting

     Securities then outstanding were present and voted, other

     than votes that may be cast only by one class or series of

     stock (other than Common Stock) or upon the happening of a

     contingency.  "Voting Securities" of the Company for

     purposes of the Agreement are the Common Stock, any other

     securities having a right to vote generally for directors  



     <PAGE>22



     and any securities, rights or options convertible into, or

     exchangeable or exercisable for, such securities.

               The Agreement contains a "standstill" provision

     which prohibits IBM from acquiring any Voting Securities

     without the consent of the Company if such acquisition would

     cause IBM to own more than 30% of the Outstanding Voting

     Power of the Company.  However, IBM may acquire Voting

     Securities without regard to the standstill provision (1) in

     response to a tender offer for 35% or more of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company or (2) if any other

     person or group acquires 20% or more of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company.

               Although the standstill provision permits IBM to

     acquire in the open market and from the Company additional

     Voting Securities that would bring its holdings up to and

     including 30% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the

     Company, certain provisions of Title 35, Chapter 2 of the

     1976 Code of South Carolina would deprive IBM of the right

     to vote any and all shares of capital stock of the Company

     in the event that, without previously obtaining appropriate

     stockholder approval, IBM acquired one-fifth or more of "all

     voting power" of the Company (as defined in such Code). 

     Therefore, the Agreement requires the Company to use its

     best efforts to obtain no later than March 15, 1990, the  



     <PAGE>23



     approval by its stockholders of voting rights for IBM in the

     event that IBM acquires one-fifth or more of the voting

     power of the Company for purposes of such Code but not more

     than 30% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company. 

     Upon approval of such voting rights, all the Series A

     Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into Common

     Stock.

               IBM is required under the Agreement to vote all

     its Voting Securities for the nominees to the Board of

     Directors of the Company of a committee of independent

     Directors not employed by the Company, so long as (1) the

     standstill provision is in effect and (2) IBM is entitled to

     elect a director as the holder of the Series A Preferred

     Stock or to designate nominees to the Board of Directors

     under the Agreement, as described in the next paragraph.

               The Company is required to include in the slate of

     nominees recommended to holders of Common Stock and to

     otherwise use its best efforts to cause the election to the

     Board of Directors of a specified number of persons

     designated by IBM:  two persons if IBM owns at least 16% of

     the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company (but only one if

     IBM, as the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, is to

     elect a director); and one person if IBM owns at least 10%,

     but less than 16%, of the Outstanding Voting Power of the  



     <PAGE>24



     Company (but none if IBM, as the holder of the Series A

     Preferred Stock, is to elect a director).

               So long as IBM owns more than 10% of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM will be

     entitled, at the sole option of the Company, to designate an

     observer to attend meetings of the Board of Directors.  The

     parties have agreed that the Company may withhold from any

     such observer, any director elected solely by the holders of

     the Series A Preferred Stock and any director designated by

     IBM under the Agreement, any information which would, if

     disclosed to IBM, result in a competitive disadvantage to

     the Company.

               IBM is also required, so long as the standstill

     provision and the development and marketing agreement

     described below are in effect and IBM owns at least 16% of

     the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, to vote its

     Voting Securities on all matters other than the election of

     directors in the same proportion as the votes cast by other

     holders of Voting Securities, except that IBM may vote its

     Voting Securities in its sole discretion with respect to

     specified material matters and with respect to any action

     that is materially adverse to IBM and except that IBM may

     vote all or a greater portion of its Voting Securities in  




     <PAGE>25



     favor of any matter that is recommended favorably by the

     Board of Directors.

               So long as IBM owns 5% or more of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company, IBM is required not to transfer

     any Series A Preferred Stock and not to transfer any other

     Voting Securities (including Common Stock issued on

     conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock), except (1) to a

     person approved by the Company, (2) in a privately

     negotiated transaction exempt from registration under the

     Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to Rule 144 under such

     Act, (3) pursuant to an underwritten public offering

     registered under such Act or (4) in response to a tender

     offer which is approved or not opposed by the Board of

     Directors or which is for more than 35% of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company.  So long as IBM owns 5% or more

     of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM is

     required not to (a) privately sell Voting Securities

     representing 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of

     the Company to any person or group or (b) privately sell any

     Voting Securities to any person or group who has on file

     with the Securities and Exchange Commission a current

     statement on Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act

     of 1934 reporting its ownership of 5% or more of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company. 



     <PAGE>26



               With limited exceptions, so long as IBM owns 5% or

     more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM has

     a right of first refusal on any Voting Securities which the

     Company is proposing to sell.  IBM may exercise its right of

     first refusal to bring its holdings up to, but not in excess

     of, (1) 30% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company

     or (2) the percentage interest in the Company which would be

     held after the proposed sale of Voting Securities by the

     proposed buyer of such Voting Securities, whichever is

     greater.  The Company has a right of first refusal, as long

     as IBM owns 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of

     the Company, on any Voting Securities which IBM is proposing

     to sell privately, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities

     Act of 1933 or in response to a tender offer for more than

     35% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company.

               IBM has certain rights under the Agreement to

     cause the Company to register under the Securities Act of

     1933 the Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred

     Stock is convertible.  IBM is required, prior to requesting

     the Company to effect any such registration, to give the

     Company the opportunity to purchase the Common Stock to be

     registered at the Average Market Price (defined as the 20-

     day trailing average price). 




     <PAGE>27



               In the event of any issuance of Voting Securities

     (including upon the exercise, but not upon the issuance, of

     employee stock options), IBM has the right, so long as IBM

     owns 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the

     Company, to preserve its percentage interest in the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company by purchasing Common

     Stock at the Average Market Price.

               IBM and the Company entered into a development and

     marketing agreement dated July 26, 1989.  The agreement

     provides for IBM's assistance to the Company in its

     development of insurance applications for IBM's systems

     application architecture.  In addition, IBM and the Company

     will establish marketing programs for certain of the

     Company's insurance applications.

               Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,

     IBM does not have any plans or proposals which relate to (a)

     an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,

     reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any

     of its subsidiaries; (b) a sale or transfer of a material

     amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

     (c) any change in the present management of the Company or

     the present Board of Directors of the Company; (d) any

     material change in the present capitalization or dividend

     policy of the Company; (e) any other material change in the  




     <PAGE>28



     Company's business or corporate structure; (f) changes in

     the Company's charter or By-laws or other actions which may

     impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any

     person; (g) causing a class of securities of the Company to

     cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer

     quotation system of a registered national securities

     association; (h) a class of equity securities of the Company

     becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant

     to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

     or (i) any action similar to any of the foregoing actions.

               IBM reserves the right, based on its continuing

     review of its investment in the Company and subject to its

     obligations under the Agreement, to dispose of any or all

     the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by it (or

     Common Stock into which such shares may be converted) and

     otherwise to change its intentions with respect to any or

     all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.  Depending on

     market conditions, IBM may acquire additional securities of

     the Company up to and including 30% of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company. 



     <PAGE>29



     Item 5.  Interest in Securities and the Company

               Except for 6,700 shares of Common Stock (or .03%

     of the outstanding Common Stock) owned indirectly through a

     pension fund, the only shares of Common Stock that IBM

     beneficially owns are 3,797,561 shares of Common Stock (or

     19.8% of the outstanding Common Stock) that will be issuable

     on conversion of the 3,797,561 shares of Series A Preferred

     Stock that IBM acquired under the Agreement.  IBM possesses

     the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose

     of or direct the disposition of all shares of Common Stock

     beneficially owned by it, subject to its obligations under

     the Agreement.

               Except as described above and except as set forth

     in Schedule I, neither IBM nor, to the best of IBM's

     knowledge, any person named in Schedule I beneficially owns

     any shares of Common Stock or has effected any transactions

     in Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

               Item 4 is amended by deleting the entire text

     thereof and adding the following:

               On July 26, 1989, IBM entered into a Stock Pur-

     chase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Company, pursuant

     to which the Company issued and IBM acquired, on August 24,

     1989, 3,797,561 shares of Series A Convertible Special

     Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred

     Stock").  Those shares were purchased for investment. On

     October 25, 1989, such shares were automatically converted

     into an equal number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to

     the Agreement and the Articles of Amendment to the Articles

     of Incorporation of the Company containing the terms of the

     Series A Preferred Stock.

               The Agreement contains a "standstill" provision

     which prohibits IBM from acquiring any Voting Securities (as

     defined in the Agreement) without the consent of the Company

     if such acquisition would cause IBM to own more than 30% of

     the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company.  However, IBM

     may acquire Voting Securities without regard to the stand-

     still provision (1) in response to a tender offer for 35% or

     more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company or (2)

     if any other person or group acquires 20% or more of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company (as defined in the  




     <PAGE>40



     Agreement).  "Outstanding Voting Power" of the Company for

     purposes of the Agreement means the total number of votes

     which may be cast in the election of directors if all Voting

     Securities then Outstanding were present and voted, other

     than votes that may be cast only by one class or series of

     stock (other than Common Stock) or upon the happening of a

     contingency.  "Voting Securities" of the Company for purpo-

     ses of the Agreement are the Common Stock, any other securi-

     ties having a right to vote generally for directors and any

     securities, rights or options convertible into, or exchange-

     able or exercisable for, such securities.

               IBM is required under the Agreement to vote all

     its Voting Securities for the nominees to the Board of

     Directors of the Company of a committee of independent

     directors not employed by the Company, so long as (1) the

     standstill provision is in effect and (2) IBM is entitled to

     designate nominees to the Board of Directors under the

     Agreement, as described in the next paragraph.

               The Company is required to include in the slate of

     nominees recommended to holders of Common Stock and to

     otherwise use its best efforts to cause the election to the

     Board of Directors of a specified number of persons desig-

     nated by IBM:  two persons if IBM owns at least 16% of the

     outstanding Voting Power of the Company; and one person if  


 
     <PAGE>41



     IBM owns at least 10%, but less than 16%, of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company.

               The Company was required, upon request of IBM

     after the closing of the purchase and sale of the Series A

     Preferred Stock, to cause a person designated by IBM to be

     elected to the Board of Directors.  At a meeting of the

     Board of Directors of the Company held on October 17, 1989,

     Lutz F. Hahne, Vice President, IBM, was elected a director

     of the Company.

               So long as IBM owns more than 10% of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM will be

     entitled, at the sole option of the Company, to designate an

     observer to attend meetings of the Board of Directors.  The

     parties have agreed that the Company may withhold from any

     such observer and any director designated by IBM under the

     Agreement, any information which would, if disclosed to IBM,

     result in a competitive disadvantage to the Company.  At a

     meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on

     October 17, 1989, Marvin L. Mann, Vice President, IBM, was

     approved as IBM's designated observer.

               IBM is also required, so long as the standstill

     provision and the development and marketing agreement

     described below are in effect and IBM owns at least 16% of

     the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, to vote its  



     <PAGE>42



     Voting Securities on all matters other than the election of

     directors in the same proportion as the votes cast by other

     holders of Voting Securities, except that IBM may vote its

     Voting Securities in its sole discretion with respect to

     specified material matters and with respect to any action

     that is materially adverse to IBM and except that IBM may

     vote all or a greater proportion of its Voting Securities in

     favor of any matter that is recommended favorably by the

     Board of Directors.

               So long as IBM owns 5% or more of the Outstanding

     Voting Power of the Company, IBM is required not to transfer

     any Voting Securities (including its Common Stock), except

     (1) to a person approved by the Company, (2) in a privately

     negotiated transaction exempt from registration under the

     Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to Rule 144 under such

     Act, (3) pursuant to an underwritten public offering regis-

     tered under such Act or (4) in response to a tender offer

     which is approved or not opposed by the Board of Directors

     or which is for more than 35% of the Outstanding Voting

     Power of the Company.  So long as IBM owns 5% or more of the

     Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM is required not

     to (a) privately sell Voting Securities representing 5% or

     more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company to any

     person or group or (b) privately sell any Voting Securities  




     <PAGE>43



     to any person or group who has on file with the Securities

     and Exchange Commission a current statement on Schedule 13D

     under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reporting its

     ownership of 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of

     the Company.

               With limited exceptions, so long as IBM owns 5% or

     more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company, IBM has

     a right of first refusal on any Voting Securities which the

     Company is proposing to sell.  IBM may exercise its right of

     first refusal to bring its holdings up to, but not in excess

     of, (1) 30% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company

     or (2) the percentage interest in the Company which would be

     held after the proposed sale of Voting Securities by the

     proposed buyer of such Voting Securities, whichever is

     greater.  The Company has a right of first refusal, as long

     as IBM owns 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of

     the Company, on any Voting Securities which IBM is proposing

     to sell privately, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities

     Act of 1933 or in response to a tender offer for more than

     35% of the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company.

               IBM has certain rights under the Agreement to

     cause the Company to register under the Securities Act of

     1933 its Common Stock.  IBM is required, prior to requesting

     the Company to effect any such registration, to give the  





     <PAGE>44



     Company the opportunity to purchase the Common Stock to be

     registered at the Average Market Price (defined as the

     20-day trailing average price).

               In the event of any issuance of Voting Securities

     (including upon the exercise, but not upon the issuance, of

     employee stock options), IBM has the right, so long as IBM

     owns 5% or more of the Outstanding Voting Power of the

     Company, to preserve its percentage interest in the Out-

     standing Voting Power of the Company by purchasing Common

     Stock at the Average Market Price.

               IBM and the Company entered into a development and

     marketing agreement dated July 26, 1989.  The agreement

     provides for IBM's assistance to the Company in its

     development of insurance applications for IBM's systems

     application architecture.  In addition, IBM and the Company

     will establish marketing programs for certain of the

     Company's insurance applications.

               Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,

     IBM does not have any plans or proposals which relate to

     (a) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a

     merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company

     or any of its subsidiaries; (b) a sale or transfer of a

     material amount of assets of the Company or any of its

     subsidiaries; (c) any change in the present management of  

 


     <PAGE>45



     the Company or the present Board of Directors of the

     Company; (d) any material change in the present

     capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (e) any

     other material change in the Company's business or corporate

     structure; (f) changes in the Company's charter or By-laws

     or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control

     of the Company by any person; (g) causing a class of

     securities of the Company to cease to be authorized to be

     quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered

     national securities association; (h) a class of equity

     securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination

     of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the

     Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (i) any action similar

     to any of the foregoing actions.

               IBM reserves the right, based on its continuing

     review of its investment in the Company and subject to its

     obligations under the Agreement, to dispose of any or all

     the shares of Common Stock owned by it and otherwise to

     change its intentions with respect to any or all of the

     matters referred to in this Item 4. Depending on market

     conditions, IBM may acquire additional securities of the

     Company up to and including 30% of the Outstanding Voting

     Power of the Company.

     Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Company

               Item 5 is amended by deleting the entire text

     thereof and adding the following:

               Except for 6,700 shares of Common Stock (or .03%

     of the outstanding Common Stock) owned indirectly through a

     pension fund, the only shares of Common Stock that IBM

     beneficially owns are 3,797,561 shares of Common Stock (or

     19.8% of the outstanding Common Stock) that were issued on

     conversion of the 3,797,561 shares of Series A Preferred

     Stock that IBM acquired under the Agreement.  IBM possesses

     the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose

     of or direct the disposition of all shares of Common Stock

     beneficially owned by it, subject to its obligations under

     the Agreement.

               On October 25, 1989, all the shares of Series A

     Preferred Stock held by IBM were automatically converted

     into an equal number of shares of Common Stock.  The Agree-

     ment required the Company to use its best efforts to obtain

     shareholder approval under the South Carolina Control Share

     Acquisitions Act of voting rights for IBM's Voting Securi-

     ties, in the event that such Voting Securities represent

     one-fifth or more of all the voting power of the Company

     (within the meaning of such Act), but only to the extent

     that such Voting Securities represent no more than 30% of  




     <PAGE>47



     the Outstanding Voting Power of the Company.  Upon the

     granting of such approval, as provided in the Agreement, all

     the Series A Preferred Stock was deemed converted into

     Common Stock.

               Except as described above and except as set forth

     in Schedule I, neither IBM nor, to the best of IBM's knowl-

     edge, any person named in Schedule I beneficially owns any

     shares of Common Stock or has effected any transactions in

     Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     <PAGE>8



     of and from all manner of actions, causes of action, suits,
     debts, covenants, controversies, agreements, damages,
     judgments, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity
     which  either Seller or the Company ever had, now has, or
     hereafter can, shall or may have against any of them upon or
     by reason of (i) Seller's ownership on or prior to the date
     hereof of capital stock of the Company or (ii) the 1989
     Agreement (except as it relates to ownership of Common Stock
     after the date hereof for acts or omissions occurring after
     the date of this Agreement). Provided, however, the
     foregoing  shall specifically exclude actions, causes of
     action, suits, debts, covenants, controversies, agreements,
     damages, judgments, claims and demands whatsoever in law or
     in equity which arise from or relate to Lutz F. Hahne's
     appointment, tenure or resignation from the Board of
     Directors of the Company. 

               (b)  Seller and the Company agree to negotiate
     over the ninety days following the Closing Date, or such
     longer period as may be mutually acceptable, proposed future
     contractual relationships between Seller and the Company, 
     as described in the letter attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
     hereby acknowledge that they are under no obligation to
     reach agreement relating thereto.  Seller and the Company
     agree that this Agreement supersedes the letter attached
     hereto as Exhibit A.  The contractual relationships between
     the parties referenced in Exhibit A are hereby modified as
     follows:  (i)  the amendment dated August 23, 1991 to the
     July 26, 1989 Development and Marketing Agreement, (said
     amendment known as the "INSERV Agreement" and said 1989
     Development and Marketing Agreement is referred to as the
     "D&M Agreement") is hereby cancelled effective April 13,
     1994 (the parties having waived the six month notice period)
     ; and (ii) Section 4.B  of the D&M Agreement is hereby
     deleted, and (iii) subsequent amendments to the D&M
     Agreement which added the Company's life and health
     insurance industry products to the scope of Section 4.B  of
     the D&M Agreement are all hereby terminated.  To the extent
     Seller's affiliate ISSC must also agree to the
     aforementioned modifications, Seller represents that by
     Seller signing below, Seller is acting on behalf of ISSC
     with respect to approval of said modifications.   Provided,
     however, the amendments set forth in (ii) and (iii) in the
     foregoing sentence shall not apply to any other agreements
     between Seller and Company, and their respective affiliates,
     relating to territories outside of the United States. In
     addition, except with respect to the specific geographical
     territories outside of the United States of the U.K., France




     <PAGE>9



     and Austria for which Seller and the Company or their
     respective affiliates may have specifically agreed in
     writing to cooperate in developing and/or marketing their
     respective products and services , all other provisions in
     all other agreements between Seller and the Company which
     restrict either from seeking and obtaining business in the
     insurance information processing industry are hereby
     terminated.    The Company shall receive, effective upon the
     Closing, a credit having a value of $2,000,000 (Two Million
     Dollars) to be used by the Company in its sole discretion to
     be applied against any invoice from Seller or for the
     Company's purchase, lease or license of hardware which is to
     be installed at the Company's facilities, hardware
     maintenance, software or services of Seller.

               (c)   Seller and the Company hereby consent and
     agree to the sale by Seller and purchase by the Company of
     the Repurchased Stock and the sale by Seller and purchase by
     Investor of the remaining Common Stock owned by Seller, as
     set forth in  the Investor Agreement substantially in the
     form of Exhibit B  (said sales by Seller to the Company and
     to Investor are collectively referred to as the
     "Contemplated Transactions").  In furtherance of and without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and the
     Company consent, agree and acknowledge that:  (i)  a
     majority of the Board of Directors of the Company has
     approved the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with
     Section 6(b)(v)(A)of the 1989 Agreement, (ii) the Investor
     Agreement contains or shall contain an investment
     representation in accordance with Section 6(b)(v)(C) of the
     1989 Agreement; and (iii)  Seller waives any notice required
     by Section 7(h) of the 1989 Agreement as a result of the
     sale contemplated by the Investor Agreement and the Company
     waives any notice required by Section 13(C) of the 1989
     Agreement as a result of the sale contemplated by the
     Investor Agreement.  Except as expressly provided in this
     Agreement, the 1989 Agreement shall continue in full force
     and effect in accordance with its terms.

               (d)  Seller and the Company agree to execute on or
     prior to the Closing Date a release in substantially the
     form set forth in Exhibit C regarding Mutual of Omaha.  The
     Company agrees to cooperate in good faith with Seller in
     obtaining the release from Mutual of Omaha contemplated by
     the release set forth in Exhibit C.

               (e)  Seller and the Company will each cooperate
     with the other and use best efforts to cause the fulfillment





     <PAGE>10



     of the conditions to the other's obligations hereunder. 
     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any
     order, decree, preliminary or permanent injunction or
     restraining order shall have been enacted, entered,
     promulgated or enforced by any court or other governmental
     authority having jurisdiction which prohibits or restricts
     the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or if any
     action, suit, claim or proceeding before any court or
     governmental authority shall be threatened or shall have
     been commenced and be pending which seeks to prohibit or
     restrict the consummation of the  Contemplated Transactions,
     each of Seller and the Company shall use its best efforts
     and take such actions as may be necessary, at its own
     expense, to have any such order, stay, judgment or decree
     lifted or dismissed and any such suit, action or proceeding
     dismissed or terminated.

               6.  CONDITIONS TO THE CLOSING.

               (a)  It shall be a condition to the Company's
     obligation to purchase the Repurchased Stock at the Closing
     that (i) the representations, warranties and covenants of
     Seller shall be true and correct in all material respects
     (and by tendering the Repurchased Stock at the Closing
     Seller shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
     that this is so), (ii) there is not in effect at the time
     any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order by
     any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction
     which prevents or restrains the purchase or sale and
     delivery of the Repurchased Stock,  (iii) all actions,
     instruments and documents required to consummate the
     purchase of the Repurchased Stock as provided for in this
     Agreement, and all other related legal matters, shall be
     reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 

               (b)  It shall be a condition to the obligations of
     Seller to sell the Repurchased Stock at the Closing that (i)
     the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company
     shall be true and correct in all material respects (and by
     tendering the Purchase Price at the Closing the Company
     shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that this
     is so), (ii) there is not in effect at the time any
     preliminary or permanent injunction or other order by any
     court or governmental authority having jurisdiction which
     prevents or restrains the purchase or sale and delivery of
     the Repurchased Stock,  (iii) all actions, instruments and
     documents required to consummate the  sale of the
     Repurchased Stock as provided for in this Agreement, and all



     <PAGE>11



     other related legal matters, shall be reasonably
     satisfactory to the Seller.

               7.  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  The parties hereto
     acknowledge that money damages are an inadequate remedy for
     a breach  of this Agreement which would prevent consummation
     of the sale of the Repurchased Stock to the Company because
     of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that
     will be suffered by the non-breaching party  in such  event. 
     Therefore, each party  agrees that the non-breaching party 
     may obtain specific performance to mandate sale and purchase
     of the Repurchased Stock to the Company in accordance with 
     this Agreement in the event  the other party's breach would
     otherwise prevent consummation of the  sale and purchase of
     the Repurchased Stock to the Company as set forth in this
     Agreement.

               8.  MISCELLANEOUS.

               (a)  Expenses.  Each party shall be liable for its
     own expenses in connection with the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement.

               (b)  Amendments, Etc.  All amendments or waivers
     of any provisions of this Agreement may only be made
     pursuant to a written instrument executed by the parties
     hereto or their successors and assigns.

               (c)  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and
     agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of
     either of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the
     benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Seller
     and the Company, whether so expressed or not.

               (d)  Notices.  All notices, requests and other
     communications provided for hereunder shall be effective
     upon receipt, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
     have been duly given if delivered in person or by courier,
     telegraph, telex or by facsimile transmission with
     electromechanical report of delivery:

               WHEREAS, Seller is the record holder of 3,797,561
     shares of Common Stock of Policy Management Systems

     shares, respectively, of the Common Stock (all of such

               WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and the Company
     desires to purchase 2,278,537 shares of Common Stock
     pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Company

               NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

               1.   PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK.

               a.   Seller hereby agrees to sell, convey,

     for the purchase price set forth below (the "Purchase
     Price").

               b.   The "Purchase Price" shall be $37,626,224.48.

               c.   If the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined)
     occurs prior to the fortieth (40th) day following the
     execution of this Agreement (the "40th Day"), the Purchase
     Price shall be reduced by an amount calculated by

     until and including the 40th Day using the most recent
     interest rate on 90-day Treasury bills published in the Wall

     Seller. 

               c.   Authority; Execution and Delivery, Etc. 
     Seller has full power and authority to enter into this

     contemplated by Sections 5(a), 6(c) and 6(f), neither the

     the Company Agreement will (with or without the giving of
     notice or the passage of time) (i) violate or conflict with
     any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws
     of Seller or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree,

     connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
     Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchasers harmless
     from and against any and all claims, liabilities or

     take any action which would have the effect of preventing or
     disabling Seller from performing its obligations under this
     Agreement or (iii) take any action which would make any of
     the representations and warranties contained in this Section
     untrue in any material respect.


               3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE
     PURCHASERS.  Each of the Purchasers hereby represents,
     warrants and covenants to Seller as follows:

               a.   Organization and Good Standing. Such
     Purchaser is a partnership duly organized and validly
     existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

               b.   Authority; Execution and Delivery, Etc.  Such
     Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this
     Agreement and to purchase the Purchased Stock in accordance
     with the terms hereof.  This Agreement has been duly
     executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the
     legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser,
     enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its
     terms. 

               c.   Consents, No Conflicts, Etc.  Except as
     contemplated by Section 5(a), 6(c) and 6(f) hereof, neither
     the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
     consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions
     contemplated hereby, nor compliance by such Purchaser with
     any of the provisions hereof will (with or without the
     giving of notice or the passage of time) (i) violate or
     conflict with any provision of any agreement, instrument,
     judgment, decree, statute or regulation applicable to such
     Purchaser or any assets or properties of such Purchaser,
     (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute,
     rule or regulation applicable to such Purchaser or any
     assets or properties of such Purchaser or (iii) require the
     consent, approval, permission or other authorization of or
     by, or designation, declaration, filing, registration or
     qualification with, any court, arbitrator or governmental,
     administrative or self-regulatory authority or any other
     third party whatsoever other than disclosure of the
     transactions contemplated hereby in the Company's filings 




     <PAGE>6



     pursuant to the federal securities laws and the rules of any
     stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. 

               (d)  Litigation.  There is no litigation,
     proceeding, arbitral action or government investigation
     pending or, so far as known to such Purchaser, threatened
     against such Purchaser with respect to the Purchased Stock
     or this Agreement which if adversely determined could
     prohibit or prevent such Purchaser from consummating the
     transactions contemplated hereby.  There are no decrees,
     injunctions or orders of any court or governmental
     department or agency outstanding against such Purchaser with
     respect to the Purchased Stock.

               (e)  No Brokers.  Such Purchaser has not entered
     into and will not enter into any agreement, arrangement or
     understanding with any person or firm which will result in
     the obligation of Seller to pay any finder's fee, brokerage
     commission or similar payment in connection with the
     transactions contemplated hereby.  Such Purchaser agrees to
     indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and
     all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to any
     finder's fees, brokerage commissions or similar payments
     asserted by any person on the basis of any act or statement
     alleged to have been made by such Purchaser.


               4.   THE CLOSING.  Subject to the satisfaction or
     waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, the
     closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Stock (the
     "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Dewey
     Ballantine, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
     10019, at 10:00 AM New York Time on (x) the earlier to occur
     of (i) the thirtieth calendar day following the expiration
     or termination of the waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-
     Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the
     "HSR Act"), relating to the filings of Notification and
     Report Forms (each an "HSR Form") with respect to the
     Purchasers' purchases of Purchased Stock, or (ii) June 30,
     1994, or (y) such other date not later than ninety days
     following execution of this Agreement as shall be agreed to
     in writing by the Purchasers and Seller (the "Closing
     Date").  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
     conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Purchasers
     shall have the right to cause the Closing Date to be a date
     prior to the date determined pursuant to the foregoing
     sentence by providing a notice to Seller designating the
     Closing Date, which notice shall be delivered at least three 




     <PAGE>7



     business days before the date so designated.  At the Closing
     and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this
     Agreement, Seller will make the delivery specified in
     clause (a) below and the Purchasers will make the deliveries
     specified in clause (b) below.

               (a)  Certificate Representing the Stock.  The
          Seller will deliver to each Purchaser certificates
          evidencing the number of shares of Purchased Stock
          being purchased by such Purchaser hereby, free and
          clear of Encumbrances, duly endorsed for transfer to
          such Purchaser's order or accompanied by stock powers
          duly executed to such Purchaser's order and with all
          requisite documentary or stock transfer tax stamps
          affixed.

               (b)  Purchasers' Performance.  Each Purchaser will
          pay to the Seller that portion of the Purchase Price to
          be paid by such Purchaser as set forth in Schedule I
          hereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds
          to such bank account as the Seller shall have
          designated in writing to the Purchasers at least three
          days prior to the Closing. 




     <PAGE>8



               5.   OTHER AGREEMENTS.

               a.   The Purchasers shall use their best efforts
     to cause the "ultimate parent entity" of the "acquiring
     person" (as such terms are used in the HSR Act) of the
     Purchased Stock to file with the Federal Trade Commission
     (the "FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the Department of
     Justice (the "DOJ") complete and accurate HSR Forms in
     respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

               b.   Seller and each of the Purchasers will each
     cooperate with the others and use reasonable efforts
     consistent with their best judgment to cause the fulfillment
     of the conditions to the others' obligations hereunder. 
     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any
     order, decree, preliminary or permanent injunction or
     restraining order shall have been enacted, entered,
     promulgated or enforced by any court or other governmental
     authority having jurisdiction which prohibits or restricts
     the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
     if any action, suit, claim or proceeding before any court or
     governmental authority shall be threatened or shall have
     been commenced and be pending which seeks to prohibit or
     restrict the consummation of the transactions contemplated
     hereby, Seller and each of the Purchasers each shall use
     reasonable efforts consistent with its best judgment and
     take such actions as may be necessary, at its own expense,
     to have any such order, stay, judgment or decree lifted or
     dismissed and any such suit, action or proceeding dismissed
     or terminated.

               c.   (1)  The Purchasers agree and acknowledge
     that Seller may be in possession of material information
     which is not being made available to Purchasers and which
     may be viewed as relevant by Purchasers.  Such information
     may include, without limitation, the future plans of Seller
     for product solutions in the insurance industry, including
     modifications of any current relationship between Seller and
     the Company.

                    (2)  The Purchasers agree and acknowledge
     that they have been given the opportunity to meet with
     Company officials and to have representatives of the Company
     answer questions regarding the Company's affairs and
     condition.  The Purchasers acknowledge that they have
     undertaken their investigation and evaluation of the Company
     independently of Seller and for the Purchasers' own
     purposes.  The Purchasers agree and acknowledge that they 



     <PAGE>9



     have relied upon General Atlantic Partners as an investment
     advisor for this investment.  To the extent that the
     Purchasers have not made their own investigation of the
     Company as set forth above, General Atlantic Partners agrees
     that it has made such investigation for the Purchasers and
     that the Purchasers are relying upon General Atlantic
     Partners' investigation in making their investment decision.

                    (3)  The Purchasers have not relied in any
     way whatsoever on Seller in making this investment decision. 
     The Purchasers and General Atlantic Partners agree and
     acknowledge that Seller did not avail itself of any
     opportunity to have access to information regarding the
     Company or the opportunity to meet with Company officials or
     to have representatives of the Company answer questions
     regarding the Company's affairs and condition.

                    (4)  The Purchasers agree, to the full extent
     allowed by applicable law, that they hereby waive all claims
     of whatever nature against Seller or its agents relating in
     any manner whatsoever to this stock sale, other than claims
     arising out of Seller's representations in Section 2.  This
     waiver of claims includes, without limitation, such claims
     in existence which are unknown to the Purchasers and all
     potential future such claims.  General Atlantic Partners
     hereby agrees to indemnify Seller from and against any and
     all claims of whatever nature, including costs and
     attorney's fees, against Seller or its agents by the
     Purchasers or their agents and affiliates, relating in any
     manner whatsoever to this stock sale, other than claims
     arising out of Seller's representations set forth in Section
     2.

                    (5)  Both of the Purchasers acknowledge their
     status as "accredited investors" as such term is defined in
     Rule 501(a) under the Act.  Purchasers acknowledge that they
     have been represented by competent counsel sophisticated in
     transactions of this nature, have had full opportunity to
     consult with and receive advice from such counsel, and are
     relying on no other representations or statements (including
     omissions) by Seller, other than those set forth in Section
     2 of this Agreement.

                    (6)  All of these Sections shall apply to any
     assignees or successors of the Purchasers, should Seller
     later consent to such.  The parties hereto hereby
     acknowledge that General Atlantic Partners is a party to 



     <PAGE>10



     this Agreement only with respect to this Section 5(c) and
     Section 8.

               b.  It shall be a condition to each Purchaser's
     obligation to purchase that portion of the Purchased Stock
     to be purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing that (i)
     the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller
     shall be true and correct in all material respects (and by
     tendering the Purchased Stock at the Closing Seller shall be
     deemed to have represented and warranted that this is so),
     (ii) there is not in effect at the time any preliminary or
     permanent injunction or other order by any court or
     governmental authority having jurisdiction which prevents or
     restrains the purchase or sale and delivery of the Purchased
     Stock, and (iii) all actions, instruments and documents
     required to consummate the purchase of the Purchased Stock
     provided for in this Agreement, and all other related legal
     matters, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers.

               c.   It shall be a condition to each Purchaser's
     obligation to purchase that portion of the Purchased Stock
     to be purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing that all
     applicable persons for the respective stock sale to such
     Purchaser shall have filed with the FTC and the DOJ,
     pursuant to the HSR Act, a complete and accurate
     notification and report form with respect to the transaction
     contemplated hereby, and the waiting period required to
     expire under the HSR Act, including any extension thereof,
     shall have expired prior to the Closing Date.

               d.   It shall be a condition to each Purchaser's
     obligation to purchase that portion of the Purchased Stock
     to be purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing that, the
     Company shall have executed and delivered a Shareholders'
     Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement, each dated

     <PAGE>11



     Purchasers, and that such agreements shall be in force and
     effect on the Closing.

               e.   It shall be a condition to the obligation of
     Seller to sell the Purchased Stock at the Closing that (i)
     the representations, warranties and covenants of each of the
     Purchasers shall be true and correct in all material
     respects (and by tendering the Purchase Price at the Closing
     each of the Purchasers shall be deemed to have represented
     and warranted that this is so), (ii) there is not in effect
     at the time any preliminary or permanent injunction or other

     to the transaction contemplated hereby and the waiting
     period required to expire under the HSR Act, including any
     extension thereof, shall have expired prior to the Closing
     Date.


               7.  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  The parties hereto
     acknowledge that money damages are an inadequate remedy for
     a breach of this Agreement which would prevent consummation
     of the sale of the Purchased Stock to each of the Purchasers
     because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of
     damage that will be suffered by the non-breaching party in
     such event.  Therefore, each party agrees that the non-
     breaching party may obtain specific performance to mandate
     sale and purchase of the Purchased Stock to each of the
     Purchasers in accordance with this Agreement in the event
     the other party's breach would otherwise prevent
     consummation of the sale of the Purchased Stock to, and
     purchase of the Purchased Stock by, each of the Purchasers
     as set forth in this Agreement.
