3.       NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

         Net earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding plus the dilutive common equivalent shares
         outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are calculated
         under the treasury stock method and consist of unexercised stock
         options. Net loss per share is computed using only the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during the period. Fully diluted
         earnings per share for all periods presented were not materially
         different from primary earnings per share.

4.       NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This
         pronouncement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
         stock-based employee compensation plans, including: stock purchase
         plans, stock options and stock appreciation rights. This standard
         defines a fair value based method of accounting for these equity
         instruments. This method measures compensation cost based on the value
         of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
         Companies may elect to adopt this standard or to continue accounting
         for these types of equity instruments under current guidance, APB
         Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Companies
         which elect to continue using the rules of Opinion No. 25 must make pro
         forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if this new
         statement had been applied. This standard is required for fiscal years
         beginning after December 15, 1995. 

         The Company has elected to continue accounting for these types of
         equity instruments under APB Opinion No. 25 and will adopt the
         disclosure requirements in 1996.

5.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
         statements to conform with the current year presentation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         GENERAL

         For the second quarter of 1996, the Company reported a 25% increase in
revenue to $20.8 million over the $16.6 million reported in the second quarter
of 1995. The Company reported second quarter 1996 net earnings of $2.3 million
or 24 cents per share, compared with net earnings of $1.9 million or 19 cents
per share for the comparable quarter of 1995.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company reported a net loss
of $0.2 million, or 2 cents per share. In February 1996, the Company acquired
Caleo Software, Inc. and wrote-off $4.3 million of in-process research and
development costs associated with the acquisition. In addition, the Company
wrote-off $0.7 million of previously capitalized software. Excluding these
charges, net earnings for the first six months of 1996 would have been $4.6
million, or 47 cents per share, compared to $2.8 million, or 28 cents per share
for 1995.

         REVENUE

         Revenue of $20.8 million for the second quarter of 1996 represents a
25% increase over revenue of $16.6 million reported in the comparable quarter of
the prior year. Product sales increased $3.1 million to $14.5 million in 1996
versus $11.3 million in 1995. Service and miscellaneous revenue increased by
$1.0 million, to $6.3 million from $5.3 million as a result of increased
professional service revenues. International revenue decreased to $3.4 million
in 1996 from $3.9 million in 1995, due to decreased product sales in Europe and
Asia.

         Year-to-date revenue of $40.8 million represents a 29% increase over
the $31.7 million reported last year. The overall revenue increase was driven by
continued acceptance of the MOSAIX 5300 Series products by large-scale
telemarketing and financial service customers.

         In the second quarter of 1996, the sale of MOSAIX systems to 3
customers accounted for 28% of that period's total product revenue, while three
customers accounted for 35% in the second quarter of 1995.

         GROSS MARGIN

         Gross margin improved to 64% of revenue for the second quarter of 1996
from 61% of revenue during the second quarter ended June 30, 1995. Gross margin
on product sales was 69% of revenue in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
62% in the comparable period of the prior year. During the second quarter of
condensed 1996, the Company sold a greater proportion of large-scale, complex
telemarketing and financial services application products in the MOSAIX 5300
Series. These sales contributed to the increase in gross margin. In addition,
the Company has begun to realize the benefit of several product cost reduction
efforts, as well as improved overhead coverage. Gross margin on service and
miscellaneous revenue was 52% of revenue compared to 59% in the comparable
period of the prior year, due to a higher mix of professional service revenues
and lower customer support margins.

         Gross margin on year-to-date sales was 63% in 1996 versus 60% in 1995.
Gross margin on product sales was 66% of revenue for the first six months of
1996 compared to 60% in the comparable period of the prior year. Product gross
margins are influenced in part by the increase in


                                     Page 8
<PAGE>   9
sales volume as well as product mix, overhead coverage, and software
amortization expense. Gross margin in 1995 includes accelerated software
amortization expense resulting from the replacement of earlier versions of
MOSAIX software with the MOSAIX 5000 Series products. In the first half of 1996,
the Company expensed $0.9 million related to software amortization, compared to
$1.9 million in the comparable period a year ago. Gross margin on service and
miscellaneous revenue for the first six months was 56% of revenue compared to
60% in the comparable period of the prior year, due to a higher mix of
professional service revenues and lower customer support margins.

         SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE

         Selling, general & administrative expenses were $7.1 million or 34% of
revenue in the second quarter of 1996, compared to $6.1 million or 37% of
revenue in the comparable period of the prior year. For the six months ended
June 30, 1996, selling, general & administrative expenses were $14.0 million or
34% of revenue compared to $12.1 million, or 38% in 1995. While selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue, the increase
in spending is due to increased travel expenses as well as expansion of
marketing activities, advertising and personnel costs.

         RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

         Research and development expense, net of amounts capitalized were
$3.0 million or 14% of revenue in the second quarter of 1996, compared to $1.6
million or 10% of revenue in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Research
and development spending increased to $3.2 million from $2.1 million, and
software costs capitalized as a percent of spending were 8% (or $0.3 million) in
the second quarter of 1996 and 22% (or $0.5 million) in 1995. The increase in
research and development expenses is due to increased investment in the
development of software applications and a decrease in the amount of capitalized
research and development costs. 

         For the six months ended June 30, 1996, research and development
expenses net of amounts capitalized were $5.3 million, or 13% of revenue,
compared with $3.4 million or 11% of revenue in the comparable period of the
prior year. Research and development spending increased by $1.6 million from
$4.4 million to $6.0 million due primarily to increases in engineering staff and
outside contractors.

         The Company remains committed to the ongoing development of new
products and improvements to existing products as a key source of future
revenue. The Company expects to invest approximately 10-12% of revenue in new
product development. However, from time to time the Company may exceed the
current level of investment.

         In February, 1996, the Company acquired Caleo Software, Inc. and
wrote-off $4.3 million of in-process research and development costs associated
with the acquisition. In addition, the Company wrote-off $0.7 million of
previously capitalized software due to rapidly changing technology. As a result,
capitalized software (net) continues to decrease, and as of June 30, 1996, has
been reduced to $2.4 million versus $3.4 million at December 31, 1995.

         OTHER INCOME, NET

         Net other income is comprised primarily of interest income, net and was
$0.4 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared with $0.5 million in the
prior year. Year-to-date interest income totaled $0.9 million versus $1.1
million in 1995. Interest income was slightly lower in 1996 compared to a year
ago due to a decrease in invested cash.


                                     Page 9
<PAGE>   10
         INCOME TAXES

         The effective tax rate for the quarter was 35.6% in 1996 compared to
36.4% in 1995. The rate difference was due primarily to the mix of foreign
income compared to the prior year. The year-to-date effective tax rate,
including the effect of the in-process research and development write off
related to the Caleo acquisition in the first quarter was 108.2% in 1996 versus
36.4% in 1995. The in-process research and development, write off, is not
deductible for tax purposes. Excluding the $4.3 million charge, the Company's
six-month 1996 effective tax rate was 35.8% compared to 36.4% in the comparable
period of the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's combined cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments were $36.7 million at June 30, 1996 versus $39.8 million at December
31, 1995. The short-term investment portfolio is invested in municipal
securities, corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper, and is diversified
among security types and issuers. It does not include any derivative products.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company used $.6 million in cash from
operations compared to $5.4 million generated in 1995. The use of cash from
operating activities in 1996 was due primarily to the purchase of in-process
research and development as a part of the purchase of Caleo Software, Inc. for
$4.8 million in cash during February 1996. The majority of the purchase price
was charged to operations. At June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was
$48.8 million compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 1995.

         During the first six months the Company invested $2.1 million to
purchase property, plant and equipment compared to $0.8 million for the prior
year. The increase is primarily due to the investment in internal customer
management hardware and software systems. The Company made repayments on
long-term obligations of $.04 million in 1996 versus $0.9 million in 1995.

         In addition to its cash and short term investment balances, the Company
has available $10 million of domestic lines of credit to meet cash flow needs.
The Company has elected to not renew a second $10 million line of credit at this
time. Management believes that existing cash and short-term investments and cash
flow from operations, together with available credit lines, will continue to be
sufficient to meet ongoing operating requirements as well as the Company's
investment in capital additions and research and development activities. In
connection with research and development and market expansion, cash may be used
to acquire technology or to fund strategic ventures.

         The Board of Directors has authorized management to repurchase, from
time to time, subject to certain conditions and limitations, up to 1,600,000
shares of common stock of the Company. These shares will be used to service the
Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans. As of August 2, 1996,
a total of 678,000 shares have been repurchased at a cost of approximately $5.3
million.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS AND REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The Company, in its annual report to shareholders, its annual report on
Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in other documents filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as its press releases and oral
communications, has made and may in the future continue to make forward-looking
statements. When used in these contexts, the words "believes",


                                    Page 10
<PAGE>   11
"anticipates", "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of such
statement. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release results of
any revisions of such forward looking statements that may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of any such statement or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition the following important factors,
among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements in any of these
contexts.

         FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS. The Company
believes that its quarterly operating results could be subject to fluctuations
for a variety of reasons. The Company currently operates with a small backlog
relative to its revenue; thus, most of its sales in each quarter result from
orders received in the current or prior quarter. In addition, because prices for
the Company's products are relatively substantial, a significant portion of net
sales for each quarter is attributable to a relatively small number of orders
and customers. Sales in a quarter depend in part on the configuration of systems
sold and on the volume and timing of bookings received during the current and
prior quarter. In addition, the Company's operating expenses are relatively
fixed in the short term. As a result, variations in timing of revenue can cause
significant variations in quarterly results of operations. The Company's
operating results for any quarter are, accordingly, not necessarily indicative
of results for any future period.

         COMPETITION. The market for call processing systems is intensely
competitive. The Company competes directly with three principal competitors and
indirectly with a number of other competitors, some of whom have substantially
greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company.

         PRODUCT CONCENTRATION, TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The market for the
Company's products and services is subject to rapid technological changes,
requiring continual research and development expenditures by the Company.
Competitors or new market entrants may introduce new products, features or
services, or changes in communication technology could develop, that could
adversely affect the competitive position of the Company's products and services
in some or all of its markets. During the past two years, the Company's products
have changed rapidly and significantly. Though the Company continues to invest
significantly in research and development, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to maintain its competitive position.

         MARKET. The Company's future financial performance will depend on the
size and rate of growth of the call center customer management market. Future
development of this market will depend upon the expansion of current
applications, successful creation of new applications for existing markets, and
the increasing acceptance of call processing technology.

         REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. While existing industry legislation does not
directly regulate the manufacture and sale of the Company's products, certain
existing legislation affects the ability of the Company's customers to use some
of its products in certain ways. For example, The Company's MOSAIX systems may
not be used for certain prohibited debt collection and remote telephone
solicitation practices, nor may they be used under certain circumstances to
leave or play artificial or prerecorded messages. The adoption of legislation at
the federal or state level and the promulgation of regulations under such
statutes could have adverse affects on the Company's results by regulating the
use of the Company's products and services.

         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Despite the Company's
efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to
copy aspects of the Company's products or to obtain and use information the
Company regards as proprietary. Although the Company has not registered its
copyrighted software, the Company's software is protected by copyright and trade


                                    Page 11

secrets laws. There can be no assurance that steps taken by the Company to
protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to deter misappropriation or
independent third-party development of its technology.

                                HP BUSINESS TERMS

1.       DEFINITIONS

         (a)      "Anniversary Date" is the date that a renewal term of this
Agreement begins.

         (b)      "Estimated Volume" is the mutually agreed combined monetary
amount of eligible Products and related Support which Customer plans to order
from each Exhibit during each Ordering Period.

         (c)      "Exhibits" are documents attached to, incorporated by
reference in, or added to this Agreement at a later date which describe
Products, Support, or other business terms.

         (d)      "Ordering Period" is the initial 12 month term or any 12 month
renewal term of this Agreement.

         (e)      "Price List" is HP's listing of available Products, Support
and prices in the locations where Customer places orders and takes delivery.

         (f)      "Products" include hardware, Software, options, documentation,
accessories, supplies, spare parts and upgrades on HP's Price List on the date
HP receives Customer's order. "Special Products" are Products which have been
modified by mutual agreement to meet Customer requested changes.

         (g)      "Software" is one or more programs, capable of operating on a
computer, processor, or controller which is either listed separately as a
Software Product on the Price List, included with another Product on the Price
List, or fixed in hardware and not removable in normal operation.

         (h)      "Support" includes hardware maintenance and repair, Software
updates, maintenance and support services, consulting, training, and other
support services provided by HP.

2.       PRICES

         (a)      Quoted prices are valid for the period indicated on the
quotation or for the applicable Ordering Period, whichever expires first.

         (b)      Prices include standard HP delivery to the receiving area at
the "Ship To" address in the country where Customer's order is placed.

         (c)      Taxes are not included in prices and will be invoiced, if
applicable, as separate items.

         (d)      Product prices remain valid for 180 days from the original
order date; change orders which extend delivery beyond 180 days become new
orders at prices in effect when HP receives the change orders.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
         (e)      Support prices may be changed by HP upon 60 days written
notice.

3.       DISCOUNTS

         (a)      Discounts are listed on Exhibits and are based on Estimated
Volumes. If a Product or Support is eligible on more than one Exhibit, the
highest applicable discount will be granted. Each purchase will be credited
toward the Estimated Volume of the Exhibit from which the discount is granted.
Additional credit may be granted if indicated on Exhibits.

         (b)      If Customer's orders exceed the Estimated Volume for an
Exhibit during the Ordering Period, Customer will be granted discounts on
incremental orders at the total volume level achieved at the time each
additional order is received. If incremental orders are cancelled, discounts on
later orders will be based on the volume of Products and Support actually
delivered.

         (c)      If Customer's orders under an Exhibit during the first six
months of an Ordering Period are equal to 60% or more of the Estimated Volume
required to receive a higher discount level, then Customer's discount for that
Exhibit will be adjusted upward to the higher level for the remainder of that
Ordering Period.

         (d)      If orders used to meet Estimated Volumes are cancelled and not
replaced with new orders within 30 days, HP may adjust the Estimated Volumes and
related discounts in the next Ordering Period based on the volume of Products
and Support actually delivered.

4.       ORDERS

         (a)      Product orders must reference this Agreement, be issued during
the applicable Ordering Period, and specify delivery within 180 days from order
date.

         (b)      Customer will issue orders from one location within its
organization and will specify "Ship To" addresses within the country where the
order is placed, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

         (c)      Customer will pay transportation and related charges for
returning Products to HP's shipping location if Product orders are cancelled
after shipment. Customer may incur additional charges for cancelling Special
Product orders. Customer may delete Products under Support or cancel Support
orders upon 30 days written notice. Upon 60 days written notice, HP may cancel
Support orders.

5.       DELIVERY

         Delivery is subject to HP's Product availability at the time Customer's
order is received. HP will make every reasonable effort to meet delivery dates
quoted or acknowledged. If HP fails to deliver Products for 30 days beyond the
agreed delivery date, Customer may cancel such orders without charge.

6.       SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS

         (a)      HP will ship according to HP standard commercial practice.
Customer requested special packing or shipping instructions must be mutually
agreed, and charges will be billed separately to Customer.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6
         (b)      Title to hardware Products and risk of loss and damage will
pass to Customer at destination. If Products are shipped under Customer's
shipping instructions, title and risk of loss and damage will pass to Customer
at HP's shipping dock.

7.       INSTALLATION

         (a)      Product installation classification is defined by codes
appearing on HP's Price List. HP installation, when included in the purchase
price, will be considered complete when the Product passes HP's installation and
test procedures.

         (b)      Acceptance by Customer will occur upon completion of HP
installation for Products with installation in the purchase price and upon
delivery for Products without installation in the purchase price. When the
purchase price of a Product does not include HP installation, acceptance by
Customer will be presumed unless Customer demonstrates within 14 days after
delivery that the Product does not pass HP's established test procedures or
programs.

         (c)      If HP installation is scheduled or delayed by Customer more
than 30 days after delivery, Customer acceptance of the Products will occur on
the 31st day after the delivery date.

8.       PAYMENT

         (a)      Payment will be due 30 days from the date of HP's invoice.
Charges for contractual Support services will be invoiced in advance. HP may
change credit terms without notice.

         (b)      If Customer fails to pay any sum when due or fails to perform
under this or any other agreement with HP after 10 days written notice, HP may
discontinue performance under this Agreement.

9.       SUPPORT

         (a)      An order for Support will constitute Customer acceptance of
the terms of the Exhibit for that Support in effect on the date of order, which
terms are incorporated by this reference.

         (b)      To be eligible for Support, Products must be in good operating
condition and at current specified revision levels. HP will charge HP standard
rates in effect on the date of the Support order to bring non-eligible Products
up to these requirements.

         (c)      HP may, at no additional charge, modify Products to improve
operation and reliability or to meet legal requirements.

         (d)      Relocation of Products is Customer's responsibility and may
result in additional Support charges and modified service response times.
Products moved to another country may continue to be serviced subject to
availability of an HP authorized Support provider.

         (e)      HP does not provide Support for nonqualified products.
"Nonqualified products" are hardware and software not supplied or approved by
HP, and Products for which Customer does not allow HP to incorporate
modifications. Customer is responsible for removing nonqualified products to

                                      -6-

allow HP to perform Support services. If Support services are made more
difficult because of a nonqualified product, HP will charge Customer for the
extra work at HP's standard rates.

         (f)      Support does not cover any damage or failure caused by:

                  (1)      use of non-HP media and supplies or use of items not
designated for use with Products; or

                  (2)      site conditions that do not conform to HP's site
specifications; or

                  (3)      neglect, improper use, fire or water damage,
electrical disturbances, transportation by Customer, work or modification by
people other than HP employees or subcontractors, or other causes beyond HP's
control.

         (g)      Customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary
and confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the
Products to reconstruct lost or altered Customer files, data or programs.
Customer must have a representative present when HP provides Support services.
Customer must notify HP if Products are being used in an environment which poses
a potential health hazard to HP employees or subcontractors; HP may require
Customer to maintain such Products under HP supervision.

10.      WARRANTY

         (a)      HP warrants hardware Products against defects in materials and
workmanship. If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period,
HP will, at its option, either repair or replace hardware Products which prove
to be defective.

         (b)      HP warrants that Software will not fail to execute its
programming instructions due to defects in material and workmanship when
properly installed and used on the hardware product designated by HP. If HP
receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will repair or
replace Software media which does not execute its programming instructions due
to such defects.

         (c)      HP does not warrant that the operation of Products will be
uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within a reasonable time, to
repair or replace any Product to a condition as warranted, Customer will be
entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the Product to
HP.

         (d)      Products carry a standard warranty as defined by a code
appearing on HP's Price List in effect on the date HP receives the Customer's
order, unless the Customer has purchased an option or a system which supersedes
the Product's standard warranty. Additional information on warranty is available
on request. HP reserves the right to change the warranty code; such changes will
affect only new orders. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery or on
the date of installation if installed by HP. If Customer schedules or delays HP
installation more than 30 days after delivery, warranty begins on the 31st day
from delivery.

         (e)      Products with on site warranty will receive warranty services
outside the country of initial purchase if Customer pays HP's international
prices for the Products. Products with return to HP warranty purchased at HP's
international prices and battery-powered Products may be returned to the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
closest HP authorized repair center worldwide. All other Products with return to
HP warranty must be returned to an HP authorized repair center within the
country of original purchase.

         (f)      Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from improper or
inadequate maintenance or calibration by Customer, Customer-supplied software,
interfacing or supplies, unauthorized modification or improper use, operation
outside of the published environmental specifications for the Product, or
improper site preparation or maintenance by Customer.

         (g)      THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

concurrently at any time.

         TEMPORARY: Customer may Use the Software only for an identified period
of time.

         RUNTIME: Customer may Use only the execution features of the Software
and none of its program development features.

hardware and not removable in normal operation only when operating the
associated Product in the configuration in which that 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
Product is sold by HP or subsequently upgraded by HP. Customer may transfer

These sublicenses must incorporate the terms of this Section 11 in a written and
binding sublicensing agreement, which will be made available to HP upon request.

         Use authorization(s) for Software will apply to copies of that Software
made under those licenses.

         (e)      Customer's license does not include the right to updates,
upgrades or other enhancements. HP reserves the right to require an additional
license and fee for Use of the Software on upgraded computers, processors, or
controllers.

         (f)      Software bundled with a hardware Product may be used only with
that hardware Product in the configuration in which that Product is sold by HP
or subsequently upgraded by HP.

         (g)      Customer's license confers no title or ownership in the
Software and no rights in any associated source code, and will not be construed
as a sale of any rights in Software.

         (h)      Customer may not disassemble or decompile the Software unless
HP's prior written consent is either obtained or not required by law. Upon
request, Customer will provide HP with reasonably detailed information regarding
any disassembly or decompilation.

         (i)      Customer's entire license in Software is transferable subject
to HP's prior written authorization and payment to HP of any applicable transfer
fees. Customer will immediately upon transfer deliver all copies of the Software
to the party to whom HP has authorized transfer of Customer's license. The
transferee must agree in writing to the terms of Customer's license. All license
terms will be binding on involuntary transferees. Customer's license will
automatically terminate upon any transfer.

against infringement of its copyright and violations of Customer's license.

         (k)      HP may terminate Customer's or any transferee's or any
sublicensee's license in Software upon notice for failure to comply with any
applicable license terms. In the event of termination of Customer's license for
any other reason, Customer will destroy or return to HP the Software and all
copies of the Software immediately upon termination. Customer will remove and
destroy all copies of the Software from any adaptation into which they are
merged, except for individual pieces of Customer data in a related database.
With HP's written consent, Customer may retain one copy of the Software
subsequent to termination for archival purposes.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
         (l)      If Software is licensed for use in the performance of a U.S.
government prime contract or subcontract, Customer agrees that Software is
delivered as "Commercial Computer Software" as defined in DFARS 252.227-7013 or
"restricted computer software" as defined in FAR 52.227-19 if used,
respectively, in the performance of a Department of Defense ("DoD") or non-DoD
U.S. government contract. Customer agrees that the regulations and obligations
in Exhibit U1 apply to all such Software and that the Software is adequately
marked when the Restricted Rights Legend in Exhibit U1 is affixed to the
Software media. Customer further agrees that the Software has been developed
entirely at private expense.

12.      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

         (a)      HP will defend or settle any claim against Customer that a
Product or Support delivered under this Agreement infringes a patent, utility

the defense and any related settlement.

         (b)      HP will pay the cost of such defense and settlement and any
costs and damages finally awarded by a court against Customer. If such a claim
is made or appears likely to be made, HP may procure the right for Customer to
continue using the Product, may modify the Product or may replace it. If use of
the Product is enjoined by a court and HP determines that none of these
alternatives is reasonably available, HP will take back the Product and refund
its depreciated value.

         (c)      HP has no obligation for any claim of infringement arising
from:

                  (1)      HP's compliance with any designs, specifications or
instructions of Customer;

damage, expense or liability in connection with such use.

         (c)      HP will be liable for damage to tangible property per incident
up to the greater of $300,000 or the actual charges paid to HP for the Product

remedy and HP's liability will be limited to a refund of the related Support
charges paid during the period of breach, up to a maximum of 12 months.

prior to each Anniversary Date. Any other changes for a renewal term must be
mutually agreed in writing.

15.      TERMINATION

         (a)      Upon 30 days written notice, either party may terminate this
Agreement either at the end of an Ordering Period, or, if for cause, at any time

this Agreement will constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of those
rights.

         (f)      No government procurement regulations or contract clauses are
binding on either party unless required by law or included in this Agreement.

         (g)      Customer who exports Products assumes responsibility for

representations or agreements between the parties, whether oral or written,
regarding transactions hereunder. Customer's additional or different terms and
conditions will not apply. Customer's purchase or license of Products and

is included in HP-specified configurations. If support coverage lapses,
additional fees may be required to resume support coverage. HP will support
specified versions of selected non-HP Software, but will not support the
Software any longer than the vendor supports it. For Non-HP Software, HP
provides support only for Software versions that are specifically documented as
supported on a specified configuration.

         e.       NON-HP SOFTWARE

         Support for non-HP Software covered by HP System Support Options is

updates. HP's decision on how long to offer HP support on selected versions of
non-HP software is final.

         f.       NON-HP PRODUCTS

         HP Response Center use is limited to the system manager for the
operating system and subsystem software; if applicable, the network operator for
the network; if applicable, the application software manager(s) for each family
of HP Software; and if purchased, additional HP Response Center callers. In the
absence of any of these managers, the HP Response Center is available to their

         c)       The products purchased hereunder for OEM purposes will be
                  incorporated in a system consisting of a substantial amount of
                  other hardware and/or software which OEM manufactures or
                  develops ("added value") and which OEM sells or leases to
                  end-users (other than OEM's corporate parent, division, or any
                  subsidiary of corporate parent) in the regular course of
                  business. This added value represents a significant functional
                  and value enhancement to the HP products OEM furnishes. If
                  OEM's added value consists of software, the software solves a

                  annual volume estimate has been made under this Agreement.

         c)       OEM will have no claim against HP for compensation or
                  commission from any purchase of HP products from HP or a third
                  party to OEM's end-users or prospective end-users.

         d)       OEM will qualify for OEM discounts on add-on HP equipment and
                  upgrades to the HP systems previously purchased if: (1) OEM
                  initially resold the HP system being enhanced or upgraded with
                  added value in accordance with the terms of this exhibit,

                  and (2) OEM has provided and continues to provide ongoing
                  support on the initial system to its end-user.

         e)       HP will invoice OEM for any applicable taxes based on point of
                  delivery unless the appropriate resale exemption certificates
                  are on file at HP's order entry point or unless HP agrees the
                  sale is otherwise exempt.

         f)       HP reserves the right, at its discretion and upon reasonable
                  notice to OEM, to verify OEM's compliance with the terms of
                  this exhibit. At HP's request, OEM will provide HP with
                  information to substantiate that OEM has fulfilled its
                  obligations under this exhibit. Upon discovery of a violation,
                  OEM will be asked to forfeit its rights under this Agreement.
                  HP reserves the fight either to terminate this Agreement upon
                  30 days notice to OEM or to not renew this Agreement based on
                  the discovery of such violation.

         certifications of the product. In the event HP believes such

         and OEM with respect to support, marketing and technical
         specifications.

         material, services and packaging as it maintained when the Participant
         qualified for the Program. Participant also agrees to comply with all
         standards set by HP from time to time for inclusion in the Program. Any
         time that, in HP's sole judgment and absolute discretion, the
         Authorized Product falls below this level of quality or Participant
         fails to comply with the standards required for inclusion in the
         Program, HP may immediately terminate the Authorization and take other
         appropriate measures as specified below. Participant understands that
         HP will from time to time evaluate the Authorized Product for
         compliance with the Standards of Quality, including surveying
         Participant's customers for the Authorized Product; and Participant
         agree to cooperate with HP in such evaluations upon request.

5.       TERMINATION

         HP may terminate or suspend the foregoing Authorization (i) at will
         upon thirty (30) days prior written notice in the event HP suspends or
         changes the Program or (ii) immediately upon written notice to
         Participant if Participant fails to comply with any of the provisions
         of this Exhibit or any of the rules or standards promulgated by HP for
         the use of the Insignia. This Authorization shall automatically
         terminate upon the termination of the Referenced Contract. Upon any
         termination of the Authorization, Participation will immediately cease
         use of the Insignia and remove the Insignia from any and all Authorized
         Products and advertising materials still in Participant's possession or
         control on the date of termination, and Participant will replace any
         Authorized Products that bear the Insignia that are still in the hands
         of any distributors or other resellers with products that do not bear
         the Insignia. In the event of the termination of the Authorization
         given above, Participant agrees to the entry of injunction against it
         prohibiting the use of the Insignia, agrees not to contest the entry of
         such an injunction and agrees that money damages would not be an
         adequate remedy for unauthorized use of the Insignia.

6.       APPROVALS

         Participant will, upon request by HP, submit to HP for its prior
         approval any and all proposed uses for the Insignia. Any failure by HP
         to object to a particular practice, use or omission by Participant
         shall not be construed as a waiver of HP's right to object to, or
         require changes in, such practice, use, or omissions in the future, nor
         shall it be construed as an approval of such practice, use or omission.

7.       REGISTRATIONS

         Participant will cooperate with HP in making or facilitating any
         governmental registrations or submission that are necessary to protect
         the Insignia and HP's ownership thereof, including, but not limited to,
         registration of Participant as a Registered User of the Insignia. Upon
         termination of this Exhibit, Participant will cooperate with HP in the
         revocation of any such registration.

8.       LEGAL RELATIONSHIP

         Participant's relationship with HP will be that of an independent
         contractor. Neither party will have, nor represent that it has, any
         power, right or authority to bind the other party, or to assume or
         create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied on behalf
         of the other party. Nothing stated in this Exhibit shall be construed
         as creating a legal partnership between Participant and HP, or as
         created the relationship of employer and employee, master and servant
         or principal and agent between the parties.

9.       COMMUNICATIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES

         Participant understands that the term "partner" is often used to
         promote arms-length relationships between a hardware vendor and
         non-affiliated business entities such as VARs, OEMs and software
         suppliers. Participant shall not suggest that the use of the term
         "partner" as part of the Insignia implies any actual legal partnership
         between Participant and HP. Participant shall not hold itself out to
         third parties as being in a legal partnership with HP, sharing profits
         or losses with HP, or sharing management responsibility with HP.
