following sentence at the end thereof:

          "Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by
          Brite upon ninety (90) days notice to TTC; provided, however, that
          such termination shall not terminate Brite's obligation to pay the
          prepaid Royalties provided for in Section 8.c(v).  Upon such
          termination, Brite will retain its right to continue servicing its
          then-existing Clients under the terms and as provided in the last

**   Confidential Treatment Requested  -2-
<PAGE>

          such Royalties in excess of the monthly prorated amount of the Minimum
          Exclusive Royalty payments on a        **         basis until all
          prepaid Royalties shall have been fully offset; thereafter all
          Royalties due TTC shall be paid to TTC in cash.  If Brite's license
          has been converted to a non-exclusive license under Section 8.d(i),
          then the references in the preceding sentence to "Minimum Exclusive
          Royalty" shall be deemed to be references to "Minimum Non-Exclusive
          Royalty.""

     9.   Section 8.c of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the figure
"$1,250,000" from line 2 thereof and inserting the figure "$1,850,000" in lieu

     13.  Section 8.c of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
unnumbered paragraph at the end thereof:

               "Beginning in June of 1995 and thereafter, in addition to the
          payments made under Sections 8.c(i) through 8.c(v) above, any payments
          made to TTC by Brite as Minimum Exclusive Royalty payments or Minimum
          Non-Exclusive Royalty payments other than required Royalty payments
          based on Operating Income shall be deemed to be prepaid Royalties."

     14.  Section 8.d(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
existing Section 8.d(i) and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

          "(i) Should the total of Royalties actually received by TTC during the
               calendar month


**   Confidential Treatment Requested  -3-
<PAGE>

               of    **     , or any subsequent month, be less than the
               applicable monthly prorated amount of the Minimum Exclusive
               Royalty, then TTC shall have the option to notify Brite of its
               intention to convert the exclusive license of the Licensed
               Software to a non-exclusive license.  Within ten (10) days after
               receipt of such notice, Brite may, at its option, pay to TTC the
               difference between the Royalties already paid during the
               applicable calendar month and the monthly prorated Minimum
               Exclusive Royalty.  If Brite makes such a payment, then it shall
               be entitled to the exclusive rights to the Licensed Software
               granted hereunder.  If Brite does not make such a payment, then
               at the expiration of the ten (10) days following TTC's notice to
               Brite, TTC shall have the right itself to use and market the
               Licensed Software and to license the Licensed Software to other
               parties on a non-exclusive basis, and the exclusive license of
               the Licensed Software granted to Brite herein shall be converted
               to a non-exclusive license."

     15.  Section 8.d(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
last eight lines thereof and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

          "forth in Section 8.d(i) hereof, TTC then shall have the option to
          notify Brite of its intention to revoke the non-exclusive license of
          the Licensed Software.  Within ten (10) days after receipt of such
          notice, Brite may, at its option, pay to TTC the difference between
          the Royalties already paid during the applicable calendar year and the
          Minimum Non-Exclusive Royalty.  If Brite makes such a payment, then it
          shall be entitled to the non-exclusive rights to the Licensed Software
          granted hereunder.  If Brite does not make such a payment, then at the
          expiration of the ten (10) days following TTC's notice to Brite, TTC
          shall have the right to revoke Brite's right to market the Licensed
          Software.  Thereafter, Brite's license to use the Licensed Software,
          the Patents and the Patent Technology shall be limited to servicing
          Brite's then-existing Clients, and Brite's obligation to pay Royalties
          to TTC shall continue, with the


**   Confidential Treatment Requested  -4-
<PAGE>


          following modifications:  (a) the Royalty rate (as defined in Section
          1.p hereof) shall be reduced to ** ; and (b) for purposes of this
          8.d(ii), the term "Operating Expenses" shall be redefined to include
          ONLY the revenue splits paid to Clients, credit card charges and local
          phone expenses directly attributable to the operation of the System."

     16.  Section 8.d of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
new Section 8.d(iii) thereto:

          "(iii) The applicable Minimum Exclusive Royalties for each calendar
          year shall, if paid, be paid to TTC in      **      monthly
          installments, except as follows: (a) the monthly installments for
          **      shall be paid beginning      **      through       **
          **  in the amount of $   **  each, with all payments due before the
          date of execution of this Amendment being paid at the time of
          execution of this Amendment by both parties; and (b) monthly
          installments for the    **       **      shall be in the amount of $
          **   each and no installments shall be due in       **           .
          Any Royalties (prepaid or actual) actually paid to TTC for such month
          shall count toward the Minimum Exclusive Royalties.  The failure of
          Brite timely to pay TTC any monthly installment of Minimum Exclusive
          Royalties shall trigger TTC's option to convert the exclusive license
          of the Licensed Software to a non-exclusive license, under the
          procedure described in the last three sentences of Section 8.d(i)
          hereof."

     17.  Section 9 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting new
subparagraph number "a." in front of the existing text of Section 9 and
appending the following to the end of such section:

          "b.  In addition to the license granted to Brite in Section 2 hereof,
               TTC hereby grants Brite a license to use the Licensed Software
               (in source code form), the Patents and the Patent Technology for
               the limited purpose of porting the Licensed Software to hardware
               and software platforms selected by Brite and operating such
               ported software as a Service Bureau.  In implementing, creating,
               maintaining, revising and enhancing the


**   Confidential Treatment Requested  -5-
<PAGE>


               ported software, Brite agrees that the functionality and features
               of the ported software will not be substantially decreased from
               the functionality and features of the Licensed Software, without
               TTC's prior written consent.  The ported version of the Licensed
               Software shall be owned by Brite; however, Brite shall not use,
               sell, disclose or otherwise distribute any portion of the ported
               software that contains the proprietary and confidential coding of
               the Licensed Software or implements the Patents or utilizes the
               Patent Technology, except for use of the ported software to
               operate a Service Bureau as permitted by this subsection 9(b).
               The license to use the Patents and Patented Technology shall
               terminate at the same time that Brite's right to use the Licensed
               Software terminates.

               Brite's actual costs of labor and materials, but not to exceed
               $   **  , incurred to develop the ported software shall be
               included as Operating Expenses."

     18.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the parties hereto
hereby ratify and affirm all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement, which
shall remain in full force and effect.
