ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.) ("Cayenne"
or the "Company"), organized as a Massachusetts corporation in 1983, develops,
markets and supports a suite of workgroup-to-enterprise analysis and design
solutions for the practical challenges software developers face every day.
Global 2000 companies and government agencies around the world use Cayenne
products as they develop, implement, and maintain enterprise-wide,
business-critical information systems, such as billing, trading, and customer
support applications, as well as mission-critical technical embedded systems
such as telecommunications switching software, aeronautics, and navigation
systems. These companies and agencies are using computing platforms ranging from
Intel-based computers running Microsoft operating systems, to UNIX workstations,
mid-range, and mainframe computers. Cayenne's products are designed around an
open architecture that enables organizations to create applications that
integrate diverse information sources into new high-performance computing
environments, to modify applications as business requirements and technologies
change, and to run those applications on a variety of platforms. Cayenne's
approach to reusability and its open architecture support applications being
developed using business modeling, data modeling and database design, structured
modeling, and object-oriented modeling, with target computing architectures
ranging from mainframe to client-server to n-tiered to inter/intranet.

The Company faces many challenges in providing customers with a more open and
flexible set of solutions. The Company has addressed some of these challenges
over the past several years by introducing additional products targeted at the
client/server and object-oriented markets both through internal development and
by means of acquisitions. The actions necessary to execute this transition have
had an adverse effect on the Company's operating results for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and for the transition period from July 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996 and fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
and may continue to adversely affect operating results in the future.

In October 1996, the Company elected to change its year end to December 31st. As
a result, the period from July 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 was designated
as the "Transition Period."

ACQUISITIONS

On March 27, 1997, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of
Multiquest Corporation ("Multiquest") in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The Company acquired such assets and liabilities in exchange for
50,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase price for Multiquest
was approximately $209,000 based upon a stock price of $4.1875 (which
approximated the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the closing
of the acquisition). The net tangible assets and liabilities of Multiquest
acquired by the Company were insignificant. The purchase price was allocated to
the fair value of the technology acquired and customer lists. The Company's
results reflect the allocation of the purchase price in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and the results of operations reflect
the impact of the acquisition since the closing date. The pro-forma results of
Multiquest prior to the acquisition would be immaterial to the Company's
reported results and are therefore not presented. The acquisition resulted in
Cayenne Software having rights to a low-cost, entry level Object Oriented design
tool named "S-Case", renamed "PepperSeed" and subsequently "ClassDesigner" by
Cayenne. (See, Also Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

On July 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Cadre Technologies
Inc. ("Cadre") under an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
dated as of March 25, 1996 by and among the Company, Cadre and B.C. Acquisition
Corp. ("Acquisition Corp"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger
Agreement provided that upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified
therein that, effective on the closing, Acquisition Corp. would be merged with
and into Cadre, the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Corp. would
cease, and Cadre would continue as the surviving corporation in the merger and
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for
as a "pooling of interests" during the six-month transition period ended
December 31, 1996. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the amount of Company
shares of common stock issued was 4,716,442 and the exchange ratio was
determined to be 0.3088 Company share for each outstanding Cadre share. The fair
market value of a share of the Company's common stock at the time of the merger
was $5.625 per share. Stratagem Partnering Inc. acted as the Company's financial
advisor in connection with the Cadre acquisition. This acquisition added a
number of products to Cayenne's tool suite, including "Teamwork", a structured
modeling tool, "Ensemble", a C language reverse engineering and modeling tool,
and products resulting from Cadre's earlier acquisition of Westmount BV.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN THE LATE 1990'S

For most software development teams, the task of developing systems and
applications continues to become more complicated. The business climate of the
late 1990's is one of increasing pressure on organizations to react quickly to
change, to rapidly offer new services and products to remain competitive, and to
find greater economies in their operations. This requires supporting software to
be more flexible, user friendly, and more reusable, while holding to high
quality standards. Newly emerging technologies must be exploited, yet the
systems being developed must work side-by-side with systems build or acquired
over the last three decades.

To remain competitive in this business climate, commercial business managers,
systems analysts, and project managers, as well as technical systems engineers
and product managers need to redefine goals, involve users, understand their
requirements and take the time to plan and design their systems carefully. Most
software project costs are committed in the early stages of analysis and system
design. In projects that are not carefully planned, a significant percent of
software defects are introduced before the first line of code is written. If
they are corrected at this point, the costs are low. If corrections are delayed
until the implementation phase, however, the price tag can be significantly
higher.

THE NEED FOR MODELING

Software modeling tools encourage teams to spend the necessary time to
understand project requirements and to design applications which directly
address those requirements in a well-architected manner. This alone can reduce
software errors, their associated costs and possibly months of development time
devoted to correcting those errors.

Modeling also allows software designers and developers to improve their
development lifecycle and reduce costs as a result of other product features as
well. By planning ahead, they can design components to be reusable by others,
reducing errors and increasing productivity. Reusability permits them to
construct new products from proven components - shortening the testing time of a
new product (thus allowing them to deliver more quickly to market), and raising
confidence in the product's overall quality (making the product more
competitive). With well-defined, graphical models of their systems, designers
can communicate easily with team members, avoiding errors, misunderstanding, and
duplication of efforts. Certain features built into modeling tools, such as code
generation and DDL (data definition language) generation, can automate much of
the work to save time and ensure accuracy. In these ways, modeling tools allow
developers to work more efficiently, and to generate higher quality, more
supportable software - ultimately improving their return on investment.

An additional and important byproduct of modeling is the automatic generation of
complete and accurate systems documentation, improving software supportability,
and improving the expertise of developers for existing applications. Modeling
provides a mechanism whereby teams of engineers may communicate using a common
language and notation - reducing costly misunderstandings or design conflicts.
Up-to-date system documentation reflecting that common language provides a means
for that communication.

CAYENNE'S MARKET SEGMENTATION

Cayenne Software groups its customers and prospects into three market segments:
IS/IT, Market-driven, and Bid-driven. The sales approach, product features, and
support requirements differ from segment to segment, as explained below.

IS/IT MARKET SEGMENT

Software development organizations in the IS/IT (Information Systems /
Information Technology ) market segment develop software primarily for in-house
use. They are development groups within an IS organization who, for example,
develop software to generate reports against a corporate database, develop
customer billing applications, general ledger programs, and payroll
applications.

IS/IT organizations have found in recent years that good information systems
supporting well-designed business processes can provide a substantial
competitive edge. The growth of business process re-engineering is an attempt to
re-think business processes and


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
work flow from the ground up in order to achieve the dramatic improvements in
productivity required to reduce costs, improve service to customers and gain
competitive advantage. This re-thinking of the business process creates
challenges for IS professionals by creating many new processes to support, and
by rendering existing systems partially or completely obsolete. As a result,
there is an increasing demand for new application development as well as a need
for better integration among existing information resources.

Today, several very different types of technology coexist in large
organizations, each serving the needs of a specific user constituency. This
diversity of technology creates serious challenges for information systems
professionals, as they work to build new applications, maintain "legacy"
applications, incorporate and support new computing platforms (Client/Server,
Inter/Intranet), and integrate a growing variety of database technologies and
applications for improved access to information. To manage and evolve their
data-based systems, IS/IT organizations will use a variety of modeling
techniques. They will use business and data modeling to design the processes
that should be followed and the data which must flow between organizations in
order to keep the business operational. They will also use database design tools
to design the actual databases and database tables that will store that data.
For the applications or systems which must operate on that data, IS/IT
organization will either use traditional, structured programming, or will be
using more modern object-oriented programming techniques. In the latter case,
they may be well served with object modeling tools to aid in their design.

The IS/IT market segment uses a variety of modeling tools to manage data and
develop software today: business modeling, tools, data modeling and database
design tools, and application (recently object oriented) modeling tools. 
Cayenne's Groundworks, Terrain, and ObjectTeam, respectively, are examples of
modeling tools used in IS/IT.

MARKET-DRIVEN SEGMENT

Software developers in the market-driven segment are creating software
applications for the purpose of resale. These applications may be packaged
applications (such as off-the-shelf MRP-II applications and accounts payable
programs), tools (such as development tools, compilers, operating systems,
CAD/CAM systems), or software embedded in consumer and commercial devices (such
as controller software in laser printers, anti-lock braking systems, and heart
monitors).

The challenge for market-driven companies is to deliver superior, commercially
acceptable and competitive software quickly. In packaged software, time to
market is a key differentiator. Additionally, market-driven applications need to
take full advantage of the latest technologies, platforms, and methodologies.
Increasingly, packaged applications are being used to augment legacy systems in
IS/IT organizations. These organizations will want to replace their mainframe
based systems with client-server or web-based applications, running on modern PC
or UNIX workstation based computers. The applications provided by market-driven
developers will need to support more complex, heterogeneous computing
environments, using the appropriate programming languages, tools, and
methodologies on those environments.

For packaged applications the choice of development technology today is object
orientation. Modeling tools are required which support the analysis and design
of object classes, associations, and components, facilitating object reuse and
better design. Cayenne's ObjectTeam and ClassDesigner products are object
modeling tools. ObjectTeam is designed for teams of developers working on
complex applications, needing to do in-depth analysis and design of object
oriented systems; ClassDesigner is an entry-level object design product for
individuals just beginning with object oriented development.

For embedded software, object oriented techniques are gradually replacing more
traditional structured modeling techniques, but the latter is still prevalent.
Structured modeling provides analysis and design for software development
following the industry standard software development process of the 1980's, and
is still widely in use today. For many organizations developing technical
embedded software, there is a perceived value to the deterministic nature of
structured design and there is no perceived advantage of object orientation over
structured design which would justify the investment to migrate to a new
methodology. These organizations continue to use structured techniques, aided by
structured modeling tools, such as Cayenne's TeamWork product.

BID-DRIVEN MARKET SEGMENT

Software developers in the bid-driven segment are creating software applications
on contract, in response to a detailed requirements specification. These
software applications may be technical in nature (such as embedded navigation
software for a fighter plane being developed for the federal government) or
commercial in nature (such as a financial management system being developed for
an insurance company). The software they develop can be as technical as that of
the market-driven segment, with all of the technical challenges. Since many of
the systems and applications being developed in this market segments are
mission- or life-critical, the



                                       5
<PAGE>   6
quality and reliability of the system is extremely important, further
emphasizing the need to design them well from the start. Unique to the
bid-driven segment, it is usually necessary to prove that all the original
requirements specified during the bid process were met, and which sections of
software directly addressed them. Integration with requirements definition and
traceability tools is therefore important. Also unique to the bid-driven
segment, it is as important to deliver systems documentation for the delivered
software as the software itself. Many of these systems must be maintained for
decades, also contributing to the need for accurate and complete systems
documentation.

Cayenne's analysis and design products, in addition to complementary products
supported through strategic partnerships, directly address the additional
requirements of the bid-driven market segment. Both TeamWork and ObjectTeam
provide solutions for generating complete, accurate systems documentation from
the actual model of the system - "model-driven documentation". Integration with
leading requirements definition and traceability tools satisfy the need to prove
compliance to contact. Cayenne's Groundworks and Terrain products provide
detailed, up to date models of the data and processes which define the
information necessary to operate an enterprise.

CAYENNE'S STRATEGIC DIFFERENTIATORS

Cayenne takes the following approach to these areas, which provides a number of
benefits to organizations seeking strategic solutions to their information
systems challenges.

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF MODELING APPROACHES.
Cayenne's products support analysis and design for every major approach to
modeling: business process modeling (ProcessTeam), data modeling (Groundworks),
database design (Terrain), structured modeling (TeamWork), and object oriented
modeling (ObjectTeam and ClassDesigner).

One market in which this breadth is particularly useful is the IS/IT segment,
where developers wish to develop applications using latest object oriented
techniques, but must have those applications access legacy or traditional
relational database systems. The integration of Cayenne's ObjectTeam (object
oriented modeling) with Groundworks (traditional data modeling) and Terrain
(relational database design) provides a unique, single-vendor solutions to this
"coexistence" challenge.

Having access to a variety of analysis and design tools is also important to
developers of technical applications, whether in the market or bid-driven
segment. Since most development is an iterative process, development
organizations will want to reuse designs used with earlier technology while they
implement new designs with newer technology. For these technical developers,
access to Teamwork for structured modeling and ObjectTeam for object oriented
modeling, may be highly desirable.

TECHNOLOGY INDEPENDENCE. Cayenne solutions enforce a separation between
conceptual business requirements or systems analysis, where organizations
capture information about what data needs to be available and what happens to
it, and physical implementation, where technology-specific concerns are
addressed in an implementation design. This separation provides flexibility.
Changes to the business requirements or policies and changes to the technology
environment can be addressed independently, allowing organizations to leverage
investments in each. The technology-independent approach helps organizations to
focus on business requirements, increasing the likelihood that the finished
application will meet those requirements. This separation is evidenced in the
areas of business modeling and database design (ProcessTeam and Groundworks -
conceptual, Terrain - physical), structured modeling (Teamwork - conceptual,
Ensemble - physical), and ObjectTeam (analysis and higher level design phases -
conceptual, object design and code generation phases - physical).

SUPPORT FOR AN ITERATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. Software development projects
often do not have the luxury of "starting from scratch". Typically, software
will be developed starting from a foundation of pre-existing software. The
challenge for software project managers is to continue to innovate and enhance
subsequent versions of software. While Cayenne solutions address the entire life
cycle of application development, there is no assumption that the software is
being designed "from scratch". For example, database design products can capture
existing database structures from applications that have already been developed,
allowing database designers to view and optimize the data structures. Design can
begin with a new project or with an existing system already in production. The
structured and object modeling products allow the reverse engineering of legacy
software into models, which can then be reworked and enhanced to generate new
systems or subsequent versions of an existing system. This inherent support for
an iterative development process is a key factor in the value added by analysis
and design modeling tools.

SUPPORT FOR HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS. Used individually, Cayenne
products provide users with sophisticated solutions to application development
problems. Cayenne enhances their utility by providing these tools on a variety
of


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
computing platforms - from PC Windows to NT to a variety of UNIX systems.
Product integration enhances communication, efficiency, and productivity, and it
increases the return on the investment in time and effort expended throughout
the application development life cycle. Using Cayenne products, systems
analysts, software developers, and database designers can work in concert.

ABILITY TO ACHIEVE PRODUCTIVITY BY REUSING PREVIOUS WORK. The
technology-independent approach, combined with the use of object-oriented
techniques, allows for the reuse of valuable work -- a very important
contributor to productivity. Cayenne supports reuse by facilitating the
development of data and application models, so that existing solutions are well
documented and understood and easily accessible for use in other systems.
Additionally, the support in ObjectTeam, ClassDesigner, Ensemble, and Terrain to
reverse engineer legacy systems (code and databases) directly enables reuse.
Also, both ClassDesigner and ObjectTeam include models of industry-standard
class libraries of components, such as the Java JDK and the Microsoft Foundation
Classes. By providing built-in models of these components, developers have
easier access to standard components that may fit their purpose. In ObjectTeam,
a corporate grouping mechanism allows software developers to populate a publicly
accessible area with components designed and intended for reuse.

SUPPORT FOR TEAM DEVELOPMENT. Cayenne's ObjectTeam and TeamWork tools have
built-in mechanisms (repositories) which specifically provide advance support
for large teams of developers working on the same project or projects
simultaneously. Cayenne's tool, Shared Work Manager, provides similar team
support for teams of business and process designers.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION

Cayenne continues to invest in solutions that facilitate development of critical
applications that are applicable across multiple platforms and can be used
throughout the application development life cycle. These solutions result from a
combination of Cayenne-built software products, joint development efforts with
partners, acquired technology, and services provided by Cayenne's experienced
trainers and consultants. Cayenne has invested in its client/server,
object-oriented, and structured analysis solutions, recognizing that many
organizations will need to maintain multiple types of environments for some time
to come. Although, the Company is well positioned in the midst of several
industry megatrends, towards data warehousing, the internet and intranet, the
use of the object-oriented software development approach, and Year 2000
reengineering initiatives, it has not yet seen rising demand that has translated
to positive operating results

CAYENNE'S SOLUTIONS

Cayenne's diverse solutions, composed of software products and services, assist
complex systems designers and information systems specialists in the following
areas: modeling systems and business requirements; designing and re-engineering
legacy code and databases; developing and deploying embedded systems, IT
systems, and packaged applications. Cayenne products provide a team-based
structured analysis and design, object-oriented analysis and design, and
business process and data modeling. The suite of products and services provided
by Cayenne and its complementary tool partners allows customers to choose from
the wide variety of application development tools on the market that best meet
their needs. Cayenne offers products and services today in each of the following
solution areas.

OBJECT ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY

Cayenne's OBJECTTEAM is an analysis and design tool which automates and manages
object oriented software construction using industry standard modeling notations
such as the Unified Modeling Language (OMG UML) and Object Modeling Technique
(OMT). It provides a multi-user repository with version and configuration
management for large teams of developers, and supports the forward and reverse
engineering of a dozen programming languages, including Ada 83, Ada 95, C++,
Delphi, Forte, Java, Powerbuilder, and Smalltalk. Forward engineering of
programming languages refers to the ability of OBJECTTEAM to generate from an
object oriented model, source code files which are the basis for object oriented
applications and systems. Reverse engineering of programming languages refers to
the ability of ObjectTeam to parse existing (legacy) code, and to construct a
model representing the application or system that code comprises. From there,
the application or system can be modified, evolved, and enhanced. With
OBJECTTEAM, a developer can make logical (model) or physical (code) changes to
the application or system, and keep the code and models in sync - referred to as
"synchronous engineering".


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
Additionally, OBJECTTEAM supports a function named ObjectLoad which integrates
OBJECTTEAM's object oriented models with GROUNDWORKS business data models. This
allows teams of data systems analysts to work in sync with teams of object
oriented software analysts and developers.

MODELING BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

Cayenne GROUNDWORKS enables data analysts, system analysts, and other business
analysts to model information systems more quickly and thoroughly than they can
using conventional techniques. GROUNDWORKS incorporates the data, logic, and
process requirements into a unified model. Further, it can be used to generate
implementation components for a variety of database and software environments.
These data modeling tools incorporate a rule-based expert system that places
Cayenne's modeling expertise in the hands of users, helping them to improve the
quality and effectiveness of the resulting models.

Cayenne PROCESSTEAM is a business process modeling tool, for process domain
experts to model "as is" business processes, and to design "to be" processes for
the future. These process models increase process understanding, and are a basis
for new systems design using Cayenne's Groundworks or ObjectTeam. Increasingly,
IS/IT organizations are looking to more closely couple their business modeling
and systems design functions. The ability to pass business models directly to
the systems development team, and to keep the business model and systems model
in sync, may result in support systems which better match the desires of the
business itself, and may allow that business to provide new and better services
to their customer in a more timely fashion.

DESIGNING AND RE-ENGINEERING DATABASES

Cayenne's TERRAIN family of products allows data analysts, application
developers, and database designers to design, implement, and maintain
high-performance relational databases. TERRAIN is Cayenne's family of database
design tools that offers a comprehensive, scaleable database design environment
for business-critical client/server databases. They provide graphical support
for basic design tasks, such as object creation and maintenance, reporting, and
database documentation for databases such as Sybase SQL Server, Oracle,
Informix, DB2, DB2/6000, and ODBC-supporting databases.

Cayenne's GROUNDWORKS and TERRAIN products are integrated through TERRAINMAP, a
product which translates GroundWorks data models into Terrain database designs.
This integration makes it possible to re-engineer existing production systems,
and to maintain a single data model and deploy it across any number of database
platforms. Organizations can start in either place --with an existing data model
or an existing database-- and use TerrainMap to help achieve optimal design and
performance.

SHARED WORK MANAGER allows groups of analysts to share models and integrate the
results of their work. Shared Work Manager is a work group modeling product that
takes an intelligent approach to resolving modeling conflicts that arise in a
multi-user environment. It enables groups to interact in a manner consistent
with their organization's culture and workflow methods. The product helps users
achieve a shortened development cycle without sacrificing application quality
because it supports parallel development, increases consistency across
applications, streamlines work flow, and simplifies and encourages teamwork.

STRUCTURED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

<PAGE>   9
The Cayenne product set is available worldwide. Some of Cayenne's products are
enabled for double-byte character sets. This enablement is a prerequisite for
translation into languages utilitizing ideographic character sets: Chinese
(Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, and Korean. TeamWork and ClassDesigner
are currently double byte enabled, with a localized Japanese version of Teamwork
available for some versions.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Approximately 53%, 51%, 52%, and 50%, of Cayenne's revenues during the year
ended December 31, 1997, the six-month transition period ended December 31, 1996
and fiscal 1996, and 1995, respectively, were attributable to international
sales. Approximately 9%, 4%, 7%, and 6%, of Cayenne's revenue during the year
ended December 31, 1997, the six-month transition period ended December 31, 1996
and fiscal 1996, and 1995, respectively, was attributable to sales made to
independent international distributors. Sales in countries in which Cayenne
continues to use independent distributors will remain subject to the
distributors' financial condition and success, which cannot be controlled by
Cayenne.

The Company maintains wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in the following
countries; Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, and Spain.
All subsidiaries are selling and marketing organizations, while the Netherlands
subsidiary also conducts product development. The future contribution of sales
from the foreign subsidiaries to Cayenne's results of operations depends on
Cayenne's success in maintaining cost-effective marketing, sales and development
operations (Netherlands) through these subsidiaries. Cayenne's international
sales are denominated primarily in local currencies. Any material adverse effect
on the Company's international business would likely effect the financial
condition of the Company.

Risks inherent in Cayenne's international business generally include exposure to
currency fluctuations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulties in accounts
receivable collection and the requirement of complying with a wide variety of
foreign laws.

CUSTOMERS AND APPLICATIONS

Cayenne's products are used worldwide by systems analysts and engineers in a
wide variety of businesses. Generally, the customers of Groundworks and Terrain
are users of computing environments for data-intensive applications, in the
IS/IT market segment. Customers of Teamwork are developing software to be used
embedded in complex systems, largely in the bid-driven market, but also in the
market-driven segment. Customers of ObjectTeam develop software for a wide
variety of systems and applications, spanning IS/IT, Bid-driven, and
Market-driven segments.

IBM was Cayenne's single largest customer during the year ended December 31,
1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996 and in each of fiscal 1996
and 1995 when revenue from IBM accounted for 17%, 16%, 15%, and 9% of Cayenne's
total revenue, respectively. Cayenne receives revenue from IBM in the form of
license fees in connection with its own use of Cayenne products, as well as
amounts generated by IBM as a distributor and systems integrator.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

Cayenne believes that high-quality customer service and technical support are
essential competitive factors in its marketplace. Through its training,
consulting, maintenance, and support services, Cayenne is aware of customers'
needs and strives to provide services that will maximize the results achieved by
customers using Cayenne's products. Maintenance, support, and training also
provide valuable feedback that is used to refine, enhance, and develop Cayenne
products.

Customers receive maintenance support from a staff of experienced customer
specialists via a telephone "hot line". In the past, software maintenance and
support were generally provided without extra charge for ninety days following
the initial licensing of a product. The Company has changed this practice and
generally no longer provides maintenance and support without charge. Annual
maintenance contracts are available for a fixed price per copy. Customers with
annual maintenance contracts also receive periodic product upgrades and
feature/function enhancements.

TRAINING AND CONSULTING

Cayenne provides conceptual and product-oriented training courses for customers
at education facilities in the United States in Bedford (Massachusetts) and New
York City as well as Turin, Italy; Munich and Wiesbaden, Germany; Delft,
Netherlands and Wokingham, England. Cayenne's international distributors provide
training and consulting to customers in their territories. Courses are also
available to be customized and delivered at customer sites. The Company has
access to training facilities throughout the United States through an
arrangement with a partnering vendor.

The Company provides professional services delivered by experienced consultants.
These offerings are designed to promote customer success in the planning,
implementation, and ongoing use of Cayenne's software products. Cayenne provides
consulting services in the following areas: data warehouse services, object
oriented development, embedded systems, structured analysis and design, data
base design, re-engineering, and package implementations.

MARKETING AND SALES

Cayenne markets its products to Global 2000 companies, government agencies, and
organizations of similar size worldwide that use computers and software for
complex or enterprise-level applications. Cayenne seeks to promote acceptance of
its products among technical personnel, as well as at the management level.
Cayenne markets its products through a direct sales force in the United States
and through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Distributors, agents and other resellers
market Cayenne's products in over 40 other countries.

Cayenne promotes a team selling approach in which telemarketing, corporate
sales, and field sales representatives work together to identify, qualify,
inform, and sell to prospective customers.

In conjunction with its expansion into the client/server and object-oriented
development marketplace and in an effort to promote distribution through
alternate channels, Cayenne is evaluating alternate distribution channels such
as value-added resellers ("VARs") and system integrators worldwide.

Cayenne's marketing program includes advertising, public relations, promotional
materials, direct mail, seminars, analyst briefings, user meetings, trade shows
and telemarketing. The focus of these efforts is to position Cayenne and the
value of Cayenne's solutions to customers as well as industry influencers.
Cayenne's technical personnel frequently participate in industry conferences
that increase customer awareness of Cayenne's products and its technological
innovations. In 1997, Cayenne greatly increased its use of the world wide web
for its marketing efforts, providing collateral, communication, evaluation
products, and purchasing capability to its web site, www.cayennesoft.com.

Cayenne regards its customer service and support organization as an integral
complement to its corporate strategy. Cayenne believes that its reputation for
strong after-sale support has helped the Company achieve additional sales, as
well as contributing to a high level of customer satisfaction.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING

To date, a significant portion of Cayenne's software products have been
developed internally by its employees and consultants. Cayenne has development
staff in Bedford, Massachusetts and in Delft, Netherlands. Cayenne continues to
develop, maintain and enhance certain of Cayenne's products through an agreement
with a development organization in India, allowing Cayenne to realize savings in
development costs while maintaining control over the product development
process. Cayenne supports development and manufacturing for a family of
structured analysis and design and object-oriented products. In developing new
products and enhancements, Cayenne uses an integrated engineering approach that
emphasizes market-driven quality and customer satisfaction. This approach
incorporates the perspectives of customers and functional experts, as well as
personnel in the areas of marketing, sales, software engineering, quality
assurance, documentation, and customer support.

Cayenne's research and development staff has significant expertise in the
technologies bearing on development of software tools, including object oriented
development, personal workstations, graphics, expert systems, database design,
enterprise modeling, systems analysis, code generators, interface design,
operating systems, networks, and language/compiler skills. Cayenne uses its
product set in the design of future product enhancements and in the development
and deployment of the Company's own internal information


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
systems. For example, Cayenne uses ObjectTeam to design future revisions of
ObjectTeam itself. Cayenne uses ClassDesigner to design and develop Terrain.

The products developed and enhancements added by Cayenne are determined by
Cayenne's assessment of market revenue, growth opportunity, and return on
investment, tempered by the technical feasibility of the innovation, and the
need to maintain the highest levels of product quality and customer
satisfaction. Market opportunity is assessed by a combination of direct market
and customer research, by access to opinion leaders in technology, by working
along side customers to define their most productive development methodologies,
and by working with customer development partners to manage projects involving
substantial innovation and requiring supplementary funding.

The Company's future financial performance will depend in part on the successful
development and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing
products, and customer acceptance of these products. Many software companies
have experienced delays in completing the development of new products. There can
be no assurance that the Company will not encounter difficulties that could
delay or prevent the successful introduction and marketing of new and enhanced
versions of its products.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the six-month transition period ended
December 31, 1996, and in fiscal 1996 and 1995, Cayenne spent $10.3 million,
$5.4 million, $14.4 million, and $17.1 million, respectively, on internal 
product development. Also during fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a charge for
purchased research and development of $7.3 million upon the closing of the
acquisition of Westmount Technology B.V.

COMPETITION

The market for application design and development products is highly competitive
and characterized by continual change and improvement in technology. The list of
Cayenne's principal competitors in sales situations depends on several factors
including the solution area, and whether the customer seeks strategic or
tactical solutions.

Cayenne's principal competitor in the modeling and database design market is
LogicWorks, Inc., which offers the ERWin database design product with some data
modeling capabilities built in. It also offers BPWin, a business process
modeling product.

In the Structured technical market, Cayenne's primary competitor is Aonix,
formerly Interactive Development Environments, Inc. ("IDE") which was recently
purchased by Thomson S.A. The product is now called StP (Software thru
Pictures).

In the object-oriented market, Cayenne's primary competitors are Rational
Software (with its Rose product), Platinum Technology (with Paradigm Plus), and
Select Software Tools (with Select/SE). Many other companies produce products
that compete with Cayenne and still others might become competitors in the
future. As Cayenne expands its product line into new solution areas it is
encountering additional competitors. Many of Cayenne's existing and potential
competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, and technological
resources than Cayenne. Most notable is Rational Software, which holds the
leadership position in the object modeling market, as recently quantified by the
International Data Corporation. Although Cayenne was placed second by
International Data Corporation, its percentage of the object modeling market was
considerably lower than that of Rational Software.

The principal competitive factors that have affected the market for Cayenne's
products include responsiveness to customer needs, product function, product
reliability, product ease of use, product openness, quality of customer training
and support, vendor reputation, relationships with other vendors, and price. A
variety of external and internal events and circumstances could adversely affect
Cayenne's competitive capacity in the future. Cayenne's ability to be
competitive will depend, to a great extent, on performance in product
development and in sales and marketing. To be successful in the future, Cayenne
must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change
and its competitors' innovations by continually enhancing its own product
offerings and ensuring that the market is aware of the solutions Cayenne offers.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS PROTECTION

Cayenne relies on a combination of copyright, trade secret, patent and trademark
laws and license agreements to protect its proprietary rights in technology.
Cayenne distributes its products under signed software license agreements that
grant customers a perpetual, non-exclusive license to Cayenne's products subject
to restrictions on copying, disclosure, usage, decompiling and transferability.
The source code for all of Cayenne's products is protected as a trade secret and
as an unpublished copyrighted work. In addition, Cayenne



                                       11
<PAGE>   12
has entered into nondisclosure and invention agreements with each of its key
technical employees. All products are delivered as object code. All products are
protected by a software license module to prevent or reduce the use of illegally
copied products.

Charles W. Bachman has assigned to Cayenne United States Patent 4,631,664,
"Partnership Data Base Management System and Method." This patent covers the
unique internal formats used to store design information in several of Cayenne's
products. Mr. Bachman and other inventors have also assigned to Cayenne patents
with respect to the systems used in certain Cayenne products for dynamically
modeling organizational information systems (United States Patent 5,146,591,
"Dynamic Information Management System Utilizing Entity-Relationship Information
Model in which the Attribute is Independent of an Entity") and for processing
complex information representative of business transactions (United States
Patent 5,179,698, "System for Transforming User Data in Accordance with an
Algorithm Defined by Design Data and for Evaluating the Transformed Data Against
Logical Criteria"). Several additional patents have been granted by the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") pertaining to technology used in
certain Cayenne's products.

Despite the steps taken by Cayenne to protect its proprietary rights, it may be
possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of Cayenne's products,
to develop similar technology independently or to obtain and use information
that Cayenne regards as proprietary. Cayenne believes that, because of the rapid
pace of technological change in the software industry, patent, trade secret and
copyright protection is less significant to Cayenne's competitive position than
factors such as the knowledge, ability and experience of Cayenne's personnel,
new product development, frequent product enhancements, name recognition and
ongoing reliable product maintenance support.

As of the date hereof, Cayenne has not received any claim alleging that any of
Cayenne's products infringes proprietary rights of any third party seeking
indemnification for such an infringement, and Cayenne does not know of any basis
for such a claim. If any such claim were to be asserted, it might involve costly
and protracted litigation. No assurance can be given that Cayenne would be
successful in any such litigation or that, if it were not successful, it would
be able to license the disputed proprietary rights on commercially reasonable
terms.

SEASONALITY AND BACKLOG

The Company's quarterly results are subject to fluctuations resulting from a
variety of factors, including the effects of domestic and international economic
conditions, budgetary considerations and spending patterns of customers, the
Company's sales compensation plan, the timing of large individual orders, new
product introductions, and recognition of fees in connection with license,
development and similar agreements. The Company typically realizes a larger
percentage of its software product license revenues in the second and fourth
quarters of each year, with traditionally its lowest product license revenues
occurring in the third quarter of each year. This seasonality results in part
from budgetary considerations and spending patterns of the Company's customer
base and the Company's sales commission plan, which compensates sales personnel
for achieving or exceeding annual quotas. In addition, a major portion of each
quarter's product license revenues is typically realized in the last month of
the quarter. As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company's operating
results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any
future period.

While the length of the sales cycle varies, Cayenne typically does not have a
significant backlog, and substantially all of its product revenues in any
quarter result from sales made in that quarter.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1998, Cayenne employed 324 people worldwide on a full time
basis. No employees are represented by a labor union. Cayenne has not
experienced any work stoppages and believes its relations with employees are
good. Cayenne believes that its future success will depend in part on its
continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in a
competitive market for experienced and talented software developers and sales
and marketing personnel.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Cayenne's executive offices, principal research and development facilities, and
principal marketing, customer service and support and production facilities are
located in approximately 93,000 square feet of space in a business park in
Bedford, Massachusetts. Cayenne occupies that space under a lease expiring April
30, 2005. Cayenne maintains its primary sales and support offices in seven
locations


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
in the United States, and its distribution subsidiaries have offices in
Wokingham, England; Wiesbaden and Munich, Germany; Singapore; Madrid, Spain;
Delft, Netherlands; and Florence, Milan, Rome, and Turin, Italy.

Cayenne believes that its current facilities are sufficient for its current
operations and that those facilities will continue to provide adequate space for
Cayenne's operations in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially effect the
financial position of the Company.

Cayenne has received from Esprit Systems Consulting, Inc. ("Esprit") a Notice of
Intent to Arbitrate, claiming that Cayenne is liable to Esprit for approximately
$1.6 million under an extension to a contract for software training services to
be rendered to Cadre. Esprit subsequently withdrew its Notice of Intent to
Arbitrate, but has stated that it intends to proceed with either arbitration or
litigation. Cayenne believes that the claim is without merit because, among
other things, the contract in question terminated without extension. However,
there can be no assurance as to the claim's future course or likely result.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.) ("Cayenne"
or the "Company"), organized as a corporation in 1983, develops, markets and
supports a comprehensive suite of workgroup-to-enterprise analysis and design
solutions for the practical challenges software developers face every day.
Global 2000 companies and government agencies around the world use Cayenne
products as they develop, implement, and maintain enterprise-wide,
business-critical information systems, such as billing, trading, and customer
support applications, as well as mission-critical technical embedded systems
such as telecommunications switching software, aeronautics, and navigation
systems.

On July 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Cadre Technologies,
Inc. ("Cadre") under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 25, 1996, by
and among the Company, Cadre and B.C. Acquisition Corp., whereby the Company
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cadre in exchange for 4,716,442
shares of Cayenne common stock (the "merger"). The merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests during the transition period ended December 31, 1996.
Additionally, effective upon the merger the Company changed its name to Cayenne
Software, Inc. The Company acquired Cadre to expand its product offerings to
include structured analysis and design and object-oriented technology as well as
to expand its customer base.

In October 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30th to
December 31st. As a result the period from July 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996 was designated as "the transition period." For presentation and comparative
purposes the year ended December 31, 1996 is presented as unaudited and
represents the period from January 1 st to December 31st.

This Annual Report may contain forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words
"believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important
factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include
without limitation, those set forth below under the caption "Factors That May
Affect Future Results."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW

To be competitive in a changing technological market, Cayenne has continued to
develop its own technology as well as acquire technology through acquisition. As
a result of acquiring technology through merger and acquisitions, the Company
has been burdened with larger expense structures. Consequently, it became
necessary to align expense levels with the revenue generated from operations.
Therefore, expenses have been reduced in each of the last three years either
through cost cutting or restructuring activities. Product lines that have not
been in line with the strategic direction of the Company have been dropped.
Dropping certain product lines has also caused revenue to decline. Revenue
generated from new product development and technology has increased over the
past year, but this increase has not offset the decline in revenues from older
product lines. The Company has incurred substantial net losses in the transition
period ended December 31, 1996 and fiscal periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Although a loss has been recorded in the current year ended December 31, 1997,
the loss has decreased from the levels of the previous two years.

IBM was Cayenne's single largest customer during the year ended December 31,
1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996 and in the previous fiscal
years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 when revenue from IBM (including license and
maintenance fees paid by IBM in connection with its own use of Cayenne products,
as well as amounts paid by IBM as a distributor and systems integrator)
accounted for 17%, 16%, 15%, and 9% of Cayenne's total revenue, respectively.

While Cayenne expects its broadened focus will benefit Cayenne in the long-term,
there can be no assurance that the foregoing trends will not materially
adversely affect either the success with which Cayenne develops, supports, and
sells products for use with IBM and IBM-compatible computers and systems or the
extent to which IBM continues to be a customer of Cayenne.

REVENUES

The Company has seen its revenue decline for several years. In general, the drop
in revenue was the result of: 1) the merger of Bachman and Cadre, where some
product lines were dropped in order to better focus development resources, 2)
reduced defense spending which led to consolidation of large defense contractors
where the Company has a large presence in the technical embedded market for its
TeamWork products, and 3) a delay in getting its object oriented products to
market. These three issues have been partially addressed due to the fact the
merger of Bachman and Cadre to form Cayenne is complete, non-producing product
lines have been dropped and the Company's resources are focused on products such
as ObjectTeam. The Company plans to continue to enhance its product offerings
through development efforts, strategic alliances and acquisitions to improve its
competitive position.

The Company's revenues are currently derived from three sources: (i) fees for
the perpetual license of the company's proprietary software products, (ii) fees
from sales of consulting and education services, and (iii) maintenance fees for
maintaining, supporting and providing periodic upgrades of the Company's
software products.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO 1996

SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue in 1997 was $19.5 million compared
to $20.5 million for 1996. Although there was a drop in revenues of $1.0
million, or 5%, year to year, this compares to the software license revenue
drop from calendar year 1995 to 1996 of 38%. In prior years license revenues
were decreasing in response to two main factors: 1) a transition from mature
OS/2 platform and structured (UNIX) tools to new Windows based and object
oriented tools with sales of the newer products not offsetting the decline in
mature products, and 2) industry consolidation in the technical embedded markets
(military/aerospace) where the Company's structured products on UNIX platforms
had large market presence. While these two factors also contributed to the
software license decline of 5% in 1997, the impact was significantly reduced
from 1996.

Total license revenues in the United States and the United Kingdom declined 3%
and 23%, respectively; the drop in the United Kingdom revenue was mainly
attributable to personnel turnover. Total license revenue in Italy increased 20%
from 1996 to 1997 and is attributable to strong customer acceptance of the
Company's Windows based business modeling and database design products.

CONSULTING AND EDUCATION SERVICES. Consulting and education services revenue was
$8.8 million in 1997 compared to $11.1 million in 1996 for a decrease of $2.3
million. The $2.3 million drop was attributable to: 1) the Company's new
products which



                                       16
<PAGE>   17
are based on Windows NT/95 platforms and are easier to use and therefore require
less training, 2) many of the Company's software licenses were sold into
existing sites where companies use in-house training, and 3) certain Cayenne
product lines that required extensive training are being phased out. Consulting
and education revenue in Italy decreased 17% due mainly to customers
transitioning from mainframe products to Windows based products while in the
United States, where training and consulting revenue dropped 26%, the decline
was due mainly to the selling of licenses to existing customers.

MAINTENANCE. Maintenance revenue for annual maintenance contracts is deferred
and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Maintenance revenue for
1997 was $21.3 million compared to $26.0 million for 1996. This was a $4.7
million, or 18% drop. In general, maintenance revenue trends follow software
license revenue trends. Because maintenance revenue is recognized ratably
over the life of the contract, the change in maintenance revenue, year over
year, relative to the change in software license revenue, lags by as much as
year. The 38% decline in software license revenue from calendar 1995 to 1996
resulted in reduced maintenance revenue in 1997.

COST OF REVENUES. The Company's cost of software licenses includes product
packaging, documentation, media and royalties to third parties, as well as the
amortization of capitalized software development costs. Costs of consulting and
education services and maintenance includes personnel, travel and occupancy
costs connected with providing such services.

Cost of software licenses was $2.0 million or 4% of revenue for 1997 compared
with $3.3 million or 6% of revenue in 1996. The $1.3 million decrease in 1997
expenses reflects reduced sales of third party product for which the Company
pays a royalty to resell as well as reduced manufacturing costs through improved
efficiencies. Additionally, amortization related to WindTunnel was $0.2 million
in 1996 compared to $0 in 1997. The Company's determined in June 1996 that the
WindTunnel product was no longer consistent with the Company's objectives.

Cost of consulting, education and maintenance was $8.2 million or 17% of revenue
for 1997 compared with $10.8 million or 19% of revenue in 1996. The $2.6 million
decrease in 1997 correlates to the direct effort of the Company to reduce
training and consulting requirements as reflected in the drop in training and
consulting revenue.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses were $23.6 million or 48% of
revenue in 1997 compared with $28.1 million or 49% of revenue in 1996. The $4.5
million decrease in expenses during 1997 reflects reduced marketing expenses
including trade show attendance and advertising together with reduced staffing
in North America and international subsidiary operations. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Cayenne's belief that product and technical leadership
are critical to its success has resulted in a high level of expenditures for
research and development. During 1997, the Company focused the majority of its
research and development efforts on the release of new products and the
refreshing of the existing product lines to prolong their lives. Research and
development expenses were $10.3 million or 21% of revenue in 1997 compared with
$11.9 million or 21% of revenue in 1996. The $1.6 million decrease in expenses
during 1997 reflects reduced staffing as a result of attrition and reduced
software development from third party developers.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses were $6.0
million or 12% of revenue in 1997 compared with $7.5 million or 13% of revenue
in the 1996. The $1.5 million decrease in expenses during 1997 reflects lower
levels of staffing which were the result of both attrition and the elimination
of redundant positions.

NON-RECURRING COSTS. The Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $1.9 million
in the fourth quarter of 1997 related to management changes and realignment of
the sales organization, moving the corporate headquarters to another facility,
and the write-off of purchased software. Included in the $1.9 million was a
charge of $1.0 million related to management changes and other initiatives taken
to improve sales and operating efficiencies. Also, included in the charge was
$.3 million related to the move of its headquarters and principal facilities
from Burlington to Bedford, Massachusetts. Additionally the Company reviewed its
product strategy and determined that purchased software principally related to
the Westmount acquisition no longer matched the current strategic direction of
the Company. As a result of the subsequent review of the purchased software's
net realizable value the Company recorded a charge of $.6 million to
appropriately reflect the purchased software's net realizable value. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Company evaluated its restructuring reserve and
determined that amounts provided for in previous restructuring actions were no
longer required. As a result, the Company recorded a benefit of approximately
$.4 million.

During the year ended December 31, 1996 and in conjunction with the contemplated
merger between Cayenne and Cadre, the Company reviewed its product strategy and
determined that several products including WindTunnel were no longer consistent
with


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
the Company's objectives. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the net realizable
value of the related intangible assets and recorded a charge of approximately
$1.1 million principally related to the write-off of the intangible asset
acquired as part of its acquisition of WindTunnel Software, Inc. ("WindTunnel").
(See, also, Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition,
the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $6.3 million during year ended
December 31, 1996. Included in the charge was $1.6 million of employee related
termination expenses, $1.3 million of legal, accounting, investment banking and
other professional fees, $1.4 million of facility closure and consolidation
expenses, and $2.0 million of other miscellaneous expenses associated with the
consolidation of the two companies and the company name change.

</TABLE>

Year over year improvement was achieved in the United States operations when the
result was improved from a loss of $(1.4) million to a profit of $6.7 million.
This improvement is attributable to cost containment and expense reduction
measures across all areas of functional spending. In the United Kingdom and rest
of world the revenue decline in 1997 from 1996 was greater than the reduction in
expenses.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Interest expense decreased in 1997 over 1996
primarily due to the termination of a factoring agreement in 1996 and lower
levels of borrowing. Interest income also declined in 1997 as the cash available
for investment purposes declined during the early portion of 1997. Other income
decreased in 1997 as the Company recorded a currency loss for the year of
$504,000.

PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES. The tax provision for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, was composed primarily of foreign withholding taxes and income
taxes related to the profitability of certain foreign subsidiaries. At December
31, 1997, the Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $40.0 million
composed principally of net operating loss carryforwards, which was offset fully
by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization. See note 5 in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and factors that may effect
future results.

THE SIX MONTH TRANSITION PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO 1995

SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue during the six month transition
period ended December 31, 1996 amounted to $10.1 million compared to $16.0
million for the comparable period of 1995. The $5.9 million or 36% decrease in
license revenues during the transition period resulted primarily from migration
by the Company's customers from structured analysis and mainframe solutions
toward object-oriented and client/server solutions. This migration resulted in a
reduction of revenues from the Company's Analyst and Teamwork products.
Additionally, contraction of federal defense programs led to industry
consolidation, contributing to a reduction in the Company's technical embedded
customer base and specifically reduced revenues from the Company's Teamwork and
Teamwork-related products. As a result, the Company's worldwide revenue
decreased from the comparable six months of the prior year. Also, a series of
significant orders were received in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 from a
major Italian systems integrator for the Company's mainframe based products.
These orders accounted for approximately 15% of total software license revenue
for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and were not duplicated during the
transition period.

Client/server and object-oriented products accounted for 50% of new license
revenue during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996, compared
to 24% for the comparable period of the prior year. Total license revenues in
the United States and the United Kingdom declined 14% and 31%, respectively, due
to the aforementioned migration trends. Total license revenue in Italy declined
59% during the period primarily due to a series of significant orders booked in
the comparable period of 1995. No similar orders were booked during the
transition period.



                                       18

CONSULTING AND EDUCATION SERVICES. Consulting and education services revenue
during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 amounted to $4.7
million compared to $5.9 million for the comparable period of the prior year.
The $1.2 million or 21% decrease in consulting and education service revenues is
attributable to reduced software license revenue, lower customer demand and
reduced staffing in this area. Consulting and education revenue in Italy
increased by $0.2 million or 5%, while United States and United Kingdom revenues
declined by $1.2 million or 57% and $0.2 million or 40% , respectively. Training
courses are offered for each of Cayenne's major products. Typically, consulting
and education revenue follows the trend of software license revenue and,
therefore, consulting and education revenue during the transition period as
compared to the same period ended 1995 has followed the decline in license
revenue experienced in the United States and United Kingdom. The increase in
consulting and education revenue in Italy is attributable to several long-term
consulting contracts signed during fiscal 1996.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance revenue for the six month transition period ended
December 31, 1996 amounted to $13.2 million compared to $14.4 million for the
comparable period of the prior year. Maintenance revenue in Italy and the United
Kingdom increased by $0.5 million and $0.2 million or 54% and 10%, respectively.
Increased maintenance revenue in Italy and the United Kingdom resulted from
increased penetration of international markets in the prior year combined with
an increased portion of the customer base that renewed maintenance contracts.
Maintenance revenue in the United States declined $1.4 million or 17% due to
industry consolidation in the technical embedded market place, and the
aforementioned market place migration to client/server and object-oriented tools
and fewer customers renewing their maintenance contracts on mainframe and
structured analysis tools. Although maintenance revenue from the Company's
client/server and object-oriented tools has not fully offset the decline in
maintenance revenue from its mainframe and structured analysis and design tools
to date, maintenance revenue from those products grew in the transition period
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year
and the renewal rate has remained relatively constant.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of software licenses were $1.5 million or 5% of revenue
during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 compared with
$2.2 million or 6% of revenue in the comparable period of 1995. The $.7 million
decrease in 1996 expenses reflects reduced sales of third party product for
which the Company pays a royalty to resell as well as reduced manufacturing
costs consistent with lower revenues. Additionally, amortization related to
WindTunnel was $0 in the transition period compared to $.2 million in the same
period of the prior year. This reduction is directly related to the Company's
determination in June, 1996 that the WindTunnel product was no longer consistent
with the Company's objectives.

Cost of consulting, education and maintenance were $5.0 million or 18% of
revenue during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 compared
with $7.0 million or 19% of revenue in the comparable period of 1995. The $2.0
million decrease in 1996 expenses generally reflects reduced staffing levels as
a result of Company efforts to better align staffing with demand, attrition and
the merger.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses were $12.5 million or 45% of
revenue during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 compared
with $17.0 million or 47% of revenue in the comparable period of 1995. The $4.5
million decrease in expenses during the transition period primarily reflects
reduced marketing expenses, including trade show attendance and advertising,
together with reduced staffing in North America and international subsidiary
operations as a result of attrition and the merger.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. During the transition period ended December 31, 1996,
the Company focused the majority of its research and development efforts on the
release of new products and the refreshing of the existing product lines to
prolong their lives. Research and development expenses were $5.4 million or 19%
of revenue during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996
compared with $8.0 million or 22% of revenue in the comparable period of 1995.
The $2.6 million decrease in expenses during the transition period primarily
reflects reduced staffing as a result of attrition and the merger. Additionally,
during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and in conjunction with the merger, the
Company reviewed its product strategy and determined that several products
including WindTunnel were no longer consistent with the Company's objectives.
These efforts shifted resources toward developing and or refining client/server
and object-oriented products consistent with the Company's objectives.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses were $3.3
million or 12% of revenue during the six month transition period ended December
31, 1996 compared with $4.4 million or 12% of revenue in the comparable period
of 1995. The $1.1 million decrease in expenses during the transition period
primarily reflects lower levels of staffing which were the result of the merger
and the elimination of redundant positions.


                                       19
<PAGE>   20
NON-RECURRING COSTS. On July 18, 1996, the Company acquired Rhode Island-based
Cadre in a merger transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. In
conjunction with the merger, and to reflect costs associated with combining the
operations of the two companies, transaction fees, and other costs, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge of $6.3 million during the six month transition
period ended December 31, 1996. Included in the charge was $1.6 million of
employee related termination expenses, $1.3 million of legal, accounting,
investment banking and other professional fees, $1.4 million of facility closure
and consolidation expenses, and $2.0 million of other miscellaneous expenses
associated with the consolidation of the two companies and the company name
change. This compares to a $1.7 million charge recorded in the comparable period
of 1995 related to the Company's acquisition of Westmount Technologies B.V.
("Westmount") which included primarily employee related termination expenses.

EFFECT OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ON INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

In addition to the factors listed above, the operations of the Company's
international subsidiaries significantly affected results of operations during
the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 and the comparable
period of 1995.

The loss from operations -- United States and rest of world --was $4.9 million
during the transition period versus $5.0 million compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year due to reduced spending in the sales and marketing,
research and development and general and administrative areas. These savings
were offset by the aforementioned restructuring charge of approximately $5.6
million in the United States and $0.2 million in Rest of World. A similar charge
of $1.7 million was recorded in the comparable period of 1995.

The Company's Italian subsidiary reported income from operations of $0.1 million
during the transition period compared to $1.3 million in the corresponding
period in the prior year. The lower net income is principally due to a series of
significant orders received from a large systems integrator during December
1995, which were not duplicated during the transition period.

The loss from operations in the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary increased
148% during the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996 to $1.2
million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year principally due
to lower software license, and consulting and education revenues during the
period. Additionally, the United Kingdom recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $0.4 million during the transition period.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income during the six-month transition period
ended December 31, 1996 increased slightly compared to the same period of the
prior year primarily due to lower debt levels combined with reduced interest
rates on outstanding balances.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Due to operating losses during the transition period
ended December 31, 1996 and the comparable period of 1995, the tax provision for
those periods is composed primarily of foreign withholding taxes and income
taxes related to the profitability of certain foreign subsidiaries.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 1995

SOFTWARE LICENSES. Software license revenue for fiscal 1996 amounted to $26.3
million compared to $29.8 million for fiscal 1995. The $3.5 million or 12%
decrease resulted primarily from migration by the Company's customers from
structured analysis and mainframe solutions toward object-oriented and
client/server solutions. This migration resulted in a reduction of revenues from
the Company's Analyst and Analyst related products. Additionally, contraction of
federal defense programs led to industry consolidation, contributing to a
reduction in the Company's technical embedded customer base, and specifically
reducing revenues from the Company's Teamwork and related products. The decline
was partially offset by a series of significant orders received in the quarter
ended December 31, 1995 from a major Italian systems integrator for the
Company's mainframe based products. These orders accounted for approximately 9%
of total software license revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

Client/server and object-oriented product license revenue accounted for 28% of
license revenue for the year ended June 30, 1996, compared to 16% for the year
ended June 30, 1995. These results reflect the continued market trend in the
United States to migrate from structured and mainframe environments to
object-oriented and client/server environments. The Company's suite of
client/server products was available during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995
and its own object-oriented products were introduced when the


                                       20
<PAGE>   21
Company acquired Westmount in May 1995. Total license revenues in the United
States and United Kingdom declined 24% and 36%, respectively due to the
aforementioned migration trends. Total license revenue in Italy increased by
100% during fiscal 1996 due to a series of significant orders from a major
systems integrator and increased market penetration.

CONSULTING AND EDUCATION SERVICES. Total consulting and education revenue in
fiscal 1996 amounted to $12.4 million compared to $14.3 million for the
comparable period of the prior year. The $1.9 million or 14% decrease in
consulting and education service revenue is attributable to reduced software
license sales, lower customer demand and reduced staffing. Consulting and
education revenue in Italy increased by $1.0 million or 19%, while United States
and United Kingdom revenues declined by approximately $1.0 million and $1.1
million or 18% and 44%, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the prior fiscal year. Training courses are offered for each of Cayenne's
major products. Typically, consulting and education revenue follows the trend of
software license revenue and, therefore, the decline in license revenue
experienced in the United States and United Kingdom has caused the consulting
and education revenue also to decline in fiscal 1996 from fiscal 1995. The
increase in consulting and education revenue in Italy is attributable to
increased demand for the Company's consulting services from its increased
customer base and mainframe sales.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance revenue amounted to $27.2 million compared to $28.6
million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Maintenance revenue
in Italy and the United Kingdom increased by $0.5 million and $0.1 million or
42% and 2%, respectively. The increase in maintenance revenue in Italy and
United Kingdom resulted from increased penetration of the international markets
along with an increase in the portion of the customer base that renewed
maintenance contracts. Maintenance revenue in the United States declined by $0.3
million or 2% primarily from the aforementioned market place migration to
client/server and object-oriented tools and fewer customers renewing their
maintenance contracts on mainframe and structured analysis based tools.
Maintenance revenue, rest of world, declined $1.7 million or 22% due to a
decrease in the portion of customers renewing maintenance contracts and a
decline in new license revenues. The aggressive migration from mainframe and
structured products to client/server and object-oriented products has resulted
in an increased number of customers not renewing their maintenance contracts.
The Company's client/server and object-oriented products were introduced late in
fiscal 1995 and have not offset the declines in mainframe and structured
revenues.

COST OF REVENUE. Costs of software licenses were $4.0 million or 6% of revenue
during fiscal 1996 compared with $6.1 million or 8% of revenue in the comparable
period of fiscal 1995. The $2.1 million decrease in expenses reflects reduced
sales of third party products for which the Company pays a royalty to sell as
well as reduced manufacturing costs consistent with lower revenues. Cost of
software licenses as a percentage of related software license revenue was 15%
and 20% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The cost of consulting, education and maintenance were $12.9 million or 20% of
revenue during fiscal 1996 compared with $16.0 million or 22% of revenue in the
comparable period of fiscal 1995. The $3.1 million decrease in the cost of
consulting, education and maintenance was principally caused by decreased costs
in North America as the Company adjusted staffing levels to more closely align
with demand.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses were $32.6 million or 50% of
revenue during fiscal 1996 compared with $37.7 million or 52% of revenue in the
comparable period of 1995. The $5.1 million decrease in sales and marketing
expenses during the year resulted primarily because of reduced marketing
activities and reduced headcount. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company had increased marketing costs of approximately $0.6 million principally
related to advertising and promotion of the Company's new name and product
strategy. This compares to $0.6 million of costs incurred in fiscal 1995 related
to the launch of the Company's new products together with the Company's user
conference held in September 1994.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. In fiscal 1996, the Company focused the majority of
its research and development resources on porting its current products to new
platforms and development of new products targeted at the client/server and
object-oriented markets. Research and development expenses were $14.4 million or
22% of revenue during fiscal 1996 compared with $17.1 million or 23% in the
comparable period of 1995. The $2.7 million decrease in research and development
expenses is due primarily to the restructuring taken by the company in fiscal
1995 to reduce headcount and consolidate facilities. Additionally, reduced
spending on the Company's Paradigm Plus product, which was replaced by
ObjectTeam together with reduced spending on Ellipse and WindTunnel products,
which are no longer considered strategic to the Company, contributed to lower
expenses.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses were $8.5
million or 13% of revenue during fiscal 1996 compared with $8.1 million or 11%
or revenue in the comparable period of 1995.


                                       21
<PAGE>   22
NON-RECURRING COSTS. During fiscal 1996, and in conjunction with the
contemplated merger between Cayenne and Cadre, the Company reviewed its product
strategy and determined that several products including WindTunnel were no
longer consistent with the Company's objectives. Accordingly, the Company
evaluated the net realizable value of the related intangible assets and recorded
a charge of approximately $1.1 million principally related to the write-off of
the intangible asset acquired as part of its acquisition of WindTunnel Software,
Inc. ("WindTunnel"). (See, also, Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, formal plans were adopted and approved
by executive management to restructure operations related to the absence of
Windows-based object-oriented products. After the Westmount acquisition, the
Company had planned to introduce and sell object-oriented Windows 95 and
NT-based products during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. When it became
apparent that the product was not going to become available during the quarter,
and as a result revenues would be less than expected, the Company needed to
reduce expenses to an appropriate level. A charge of $1.7 million principally
related to a reduction in force (approximately 47 employees) was recorded in
December 1995.

Following the completion of certain significant development efforts and
associated product introductions, the Company effected a restructuring on
September 29, 1994 to streamline its operations and better align expenses with
revenue. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.0 million during the
three months ended September 30, 1994. The restructuring included a charge of
approximately $1.5 million in termination charges resulting from a 20% reduction
in staff (approximately 70 employees). The restructuring also included
approximately $0.3 million in related facilities expense associated with the
closure of the Company's San Jose, California development facility. The Company
also reorganized the operations of its German subsidiary by reducing its
facilities and staff. As part of the restructuring, the Company also evaluated
the value of certain contracts based on a number of factors including business
plans, budgets, economic projections and market analysis. Based on a review of
these factors, the Company determined to cancel certain contracts. The
termination costs associated with those contracts amounted to approximately $0.2
million and are included in the restructuring charge.

During the quarter ended June 1995, formal plans were adopted and approved by
executive management to restructure operations thereby eliminating redundant
capitalized software development costs and reducing company-wide expenses. The
purpose of the Westmount acquisition was to acquire Westmount's object-oriented
technology, which essentially replaced the Company's existing object-oriented
product line. The redundant software development cost write-off was $0.9 million
and consisted of internally developed and capitalized costs related to the
Company's old product. Additionally, the Company reduced expenses to better
align them with revenues. Restructuring costs during the quarter ended June 1995
amounted to $1.8 million and included the previously mentioned $0.9 million
write off of capitalized software development costs, $0.8 million of employee
related costs and $0.1 million for other costs related to the restructuring. At
December 31, 1996 the Company believes that it has met all obligations with
regard to the restructuring.

CHARGE FOR PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. On May 1, 1995, the
Company acquired Westmount Technology, B.V. ("Westmount") in a transaction
accounted for as a purchase for approximately 679,000 shares of common stock and
185,000 warrants to purchase additional shares. The purchase price was allocated
to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the date of
acquisition. The cost in excess of net assets acquired of $8.1 million was
identified as purchased research and development. The software technology was
valued at $0.8 million and the technology in process was valued at $7.3 million.
This technology had not reached technological feasibility and had no future
alternative use, as a result, the technology in process was charged to earnings
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

EFFECT OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ON INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

In addition to the factors listed above, the operations of Cayenne's
international subsidiaries significantly affected its results of operations in
fiscal 1996 and 1995.

The loss from United States and Rest of World operations decreased by $13.4
million or 60% to $8.8 million primarily due to charges related to the 1995
acquisition of Westmount combined with reduced headcount and other cost control
measures implemented by the Company. The loss from operations in the United
Kingdom decreased by $0.9 million during fiscal 1996 to $1.1 million primarily
due to headcount reductions and other cost control measures. For fiscal 1996,
Italian operations reported a $0.3 million profit compared to a loss of $0.5
million in fiscal 1995. This increase in profitability of the Italian subsidiary
is attributable to a series of significant orders from a large systems
integrator received during the second quarter of fiscal year 1996.


                                       22
<PAGE>   23
Included in income (loss) from operations in 1996 are $2.8 million of
restructuring and other costs, $2.3 million in the United States and $0.5
million in rest of world. Results for 1995 include $5.5 million of restructuring
and $7.3 million of in-process R&D charges, $4.1 million in the United States,
$0.1 million in Italy, $0.1 million in United Kingdom and $8.5 million in Rest
of World (primarily Netherlands).

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Interest expense, net increased in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995 primarily
due to increased borrowings under a factoring agreement which was terminated at
the time of the merger and lower levels of average invested cash.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Because of the operating losses for fiscal 1996 and 1995, the tax provision for
those periods are composed mostly of foreign withholding taxes and income taxes
related to the profitability of certain foreign subsidiaries.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No. 131)
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which
will require adoption during the year ended December 31, 1998. This statement
established standards for the way public enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual reports. The Company is in the process of
determining the effect of adoption of this statement on its consolidated
financial statement disclosures.

In October 1997, Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
(SOP 97-2), was issued which provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 97-2
is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt the guidelines of SOP 97-2 as of
January 1, 1998 and its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's financial results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 1997 the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents aggregating $9.2 million and a secured bank line of
credit in the amount of $5.0 million discussed below. At December 31, 1997, cash
and cash equivalents increased $5.1 million from the previous year ended
December 31, 1996. Cash was principally impacted by the private placement of
$9.9 million of Convertible Preferred Stock which was offset by the decline in
customer maintenance contracts, increased capital spending, and the loss from
operations during the year. The Company's principal long-term cash commitments
are for office space operating leases.

On December 31, 1997, Cayenne had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

On November 3, 1997, the Company renewed its revolving credit agreement with a
bank to borrow up to $5.0 million in order to extend its term through October 5,
1998 and to amend financial and operating covenants and other provisions of the
agreement. The loan is contingent upon meeting certain financial and operating
covenants at the time of any borrowing and over the life of the loan. The loan
is secured by all of the assets of the Company and any borrowing amounts are
tied to a percentage of qualified accounts receivable outstanding at the time of
any borrowing. The financial covenants, which were amended, include a quarterly
minimum net worth covenant of $5.5 million and liquidity (generally defined as
cash and cash equivalents plus eligible domestic accounts receivable and
eligible international accounts receivable less any indebtedness to the bank) at
the end of each quarter. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of
December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, the borrowing base under the revolving
credit agreement was approximately $3.7 million. The Company had approximately
$2.4 million outstanding against the line of credit at December 31, 1997.

On January 2, 1997, the Company raised approximately $3.0 million in a private
placement of 150,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the
issuance of 350,000 warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. On July 18,
1997, the Company raised approximately $2.0 million in a private placement of
100,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of
warrants to purchase 233,332 shares of the Company's Common Stock. On August 28,
1997, the Company raised approximately $5.0 million in a private placement of
250,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of
583,332 warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to earn dividends at a rate of 5% per
annum, payable upon conversion, in cash or stock, at the option of the Company.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common
Stock at a rate determined by the lower of the average quoted market price of
the common stock for either (i) the ten trading days preceding the date of
issuance or (ii) any five trading days during any period of thirty trading days
before the conversion. All outstanding and unconverted shares of preferred stock
may be converted, at the option of the Company, two



                                       23
<PAGE>   24
years from the date the securities were declared effective and at a specified
conversion price. The warrants issued by the Company in conjunction with the
closing of each of the private placements, are for the purchase of shares of the
Company's Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from 120% to 150% of the price
set forth in clause (i) above and having varying expiration dates from three to
five years. The warrants issued with these offerings were valued at $1,724,000
and are included in additional paid in capital. The shares of Common Stock
underlying the Convertible Preferred stock and warrants are entitled to
registration rights under terms of the registration rights agreement dated for
each of the offering dates. As of December 31, 1997 all shares of the Series B
and 40,000 shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted
into common stock. All shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were
converted in 1998.

Cash expenditures for restructuring activities were approximately $5.2 million
during the six-month transition period ended December 31, 1996, including $0.5
million related to restructuring effected by Cadre prior to the merger. The
Company currently estimates that cash expenditures for previous restructuring
actions in 1998 will be approximately $0.1 million. Cash expenditures related to
the one time charge taken in 1997 will be approximately $.7 million in 1998. The
Company believes that it has adequately provided for all restructuring actions
taken to date.

With the additional $10.0 million the Company raised in 1997 through the private
placement and with its revolving credit agreement, the Company anticipates that
existing cash balances and funds generated from operations will provide
sufficient cash resources to finance its current operations, and projected
capital expenditures through 1998. Thereafter, the Company's cash requirements
will depend upon the results of future operations, which cannot be foreseen.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its loan
covenants, achieve its operating plan and return to profitability, and the
failure to do so may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business
and operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

All of Cayenne's foreign sales, other than those of its foreign subsidiaries,
are invoiced and collected in United States dollars. Early in 1997 the dollar
experienced a significant rise in value against other currencies in which the
Company does business. This increase resulted in a foreign currency exposure and
Cayenne recorded a foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 1997 in
the amount of $504,000 (most of the loss was incurred in the first quarter).
Cayenne is trying to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign currency rates by
entering into foreign exchange contracts. On December 31, 1997 the Company held
approximately $2.6 million in foreign exchange contracts. The Company had
experienced no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions or
translations during the six-month transition period ended December 31, 1996 or
in fiscal 1996 and 1995. No assurance can be given, however, that it will not
experience such material effects in 1998.

INFLATION

To date, inflation has not had a material impact on Cayenne's revenues or
income.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE

Cayenne's revenues vary from quarter to quarter; historically, the largest
portion of Cayenne's revenue has been recognized during the December quarter.
The September quarter is traditionally Cayenne's slowest. Cayenne has also
frequently recognized more revenue in the last month of each quarter than in
either of the preceding two months. Cayenne believes these quarterly and monthly
patterns have been partly attributable to Cayenne's sales commission policies,
which compensate sales personnel for meeting or exceeding annual quotas, and to
the budgeting and purchasing cycles of customers. To the extent that this
pattern continues, the failure to achieve such revenue in the last weeks of the
quarter may result in a adverse material impact on revenue. In addition,
Cayenne's revenue and earnings have fluctuated historically, and may fluctuate
in the future, due to the timing of large individual orders. In the fourth
quarter of 1997 the Company received an order totaling $1.0 million. In the
second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company had a series of significant orders
from a major systems integrator totaling $2.4 million. The Company completed an
order for approximately $1.1 million from an international customer in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS



                                       24
<PAGE>   25
From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements made by its
employees may contain "forward-looking" information, as that term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). The Company
cautions investors that there can be no assurance that actual results or
business conditions will not differ materially from those projected or suggested
in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but
not limited to the following:

Technological Change

The Company's future operating results are dependent on its ability to develop
product and market new and innovative products and services. There are numerous
risks inherent in this complex process, including rapid technological change and
the requirement that the Company bring to market in a timely fashion new
products and services which meet customers' changing needs.

Fluctuations in Operating Results

Historically, the Company has generated a disproportionate amount of its
operating revenues toward the end of each quarter, making precise prediction of
revenues and earnings particularly difficult and resulting in risk of variance
of actual results from those forecast at any time. In addition, the Company's
operating results historically have varied from fiscal period to fiscal period;
accordingly, the Company's financial results in any particular fiscal period are
not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

Competition

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and in a highly
competitive industry, which include intense competition for skilled employees.
Because of the complexity of the Company's products, the Company relies heavily
on experienced and skilled employees both in the technical area and the sales
area. The loss of any experienced and skilled employee could impact the
Company's actual operating results or future results of operations.

Risk of Distribution Channels

The Company offers its products and services directly and through indirect
distribution channels. Changes in the financial condition of, or the Company's
relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners could cause
actual operating results to vary from those expected.

Economic Uncertainty and Currency Risk

The Company does business worldwide. Global and/or regional economic factors and
potential changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company's business,
including without limitation, currency fluctuations, changes in monetary policy
and tariffs, and federal, state and international laws could impact the
Company's financial condition or future results of operations.

Volatility of Stock Price

The market price of the Company's securities could be subject to fluctuations in
response to quarter to quarter variations in operating results, changes in
analysts' earnings estimates, market conditions in the information technology
industry, as well as general economic conditions and other factors external to
the Company.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company recognizes the importance of meeting year 2000 compliance for its
software products and internal operations. All of the Company's software
products are year 2000 compliant. The operational issues associated with meeting
year 2000 compliance are being addressed with the installation of a new software
business information system. The new installation is planned to be operational
in all United States and subsidiary locations at or around year-end 1998. The
Company is continuing to assess the impact of year 2000 on its suppliers and
vendors. Problems in meeting year 2000 compliance could impact the Company's
actual operating results or future results of operation.

Significant Customer Risk

Cayenne has several large customers. The loss of any these customers, through
industry consolidation or otherwise, will materially affect operating results.


                                       25
<PAGE>   26
Revenue Risk

The Company's strategy to stem revenue decline is based on the transition from
the Company's OS/2 platform and Structured Unix tools to new windows-based and
object oriented products. If revenues from the OS/2 and Unix products continue
to decline, there can be no assurance that these new products will be accepted
by customers and will generate revenues sufficient to offset any decline.

Litigation Risk

The future course of a current large claim against the Company could impact the
Company's actual operating results or future results of operations.

Industry Consolidation

Many of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial resources
than the Company. In addition, the trend towards industry consolidation among
the Company's competitors has given these competitors the ability to offer a
wider range of products and services than those available from the Company. This
ability may give these competitors marketing and discounting advantages not
available to the Company.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF
CAYENNE SOFTWARE, INC.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cayenne
Software, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and June 30, 1996 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997, the six-month period ended
December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cayenne Software,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and June 30, 1996 and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1997, the six-month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Cayenne
Software, Inc. and Cadre Technologies Inc. on July 18, 1996, which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 2 of notes to the
consolidated financial statements. We previously audited and reported on the
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash
flows of Cayenne Software, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 1995, prior to their
restatement for the 1996 pooling of interests. The contribution of Cayenne
Software, Inc. to revenues represented 46 percent and to net loss represented 41
percent of the respective restated totals for the year ended June 30, 1995.
Separate financial statements of Cadre Technologies Inc. included in the
restated consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1995 were audited and reported on
separately by other auditors. We also audited the combination of the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1995, after restatement for
the 1996 pooling of interests, and, in our opinion, such consolidated statements
have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 2 of notes to the
consolidated financial statements.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS' OF
CADRE TECHNOLOGIES INC.:

We have audited Cadre Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries' (the "Company")
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficiency) equity, and
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 (none of which are presented
herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Cadre
Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from
operations, cash used in operating activities, deficiency in working capital and
stockholders' deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are outlined in
Note 16. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome on this uncertainty.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (TABLES IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cayenne Software, Inc. (formerly Bachman Information Systems, Inc.) ("the
Company" or "Cayenne") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and all
financial data contained herein include the accounts of Cadre Technologies Inc.
("Cadre") for all periods presented (Note 2).

In October 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30th to
December 31st. As a result the period from July 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996 was designated as "the transition period."

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cayenne organized as a corporation in 1983, develops, markets and supports a
comprehensive suite of workgroup-to-enterprise analysis and design solutions for
the practical challenges software developers face every day.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The local currencies of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are predominantly
determined to be the functional currencies. Assets and liabilities of all
foreign subsidiaries are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and income
statement accounts are translated at average rates of exchange. Translation
adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity,
"Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". Transaction gains and losses,
primarily related to foreign currency denominated intercompany payables and
receivables are included in the results of operations.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

Beginning in 1997, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to
mitigate the effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the intercompany
payable and receivable positions of Non-U.S. subsidiaries. The contracts are
principally in European currencies and generally have maturities of 120 days or
less. Gains and losses associated with currency rate changes on the contracts
are recorded in results of operations, offsetting losses and gains on the
related assets and liabilities. The cash flows related to the gains and losses
of foreign currency forward contracts are classified in the statement of cash
flows as part of cash flows from operations.

The market risk exposure from forward contracts is assessed in light of the
underlying currency exposures and is limited by the term of the Company's
contracts, generally less than 120 days. Credit risk from forward contracts is
minimized through the placement of contracts with multiple financial
institutions. Forward contracts are revalued monthly by comparing contract rates
to month-end exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company
recorded a foreign exchange loss of $504,000. For all other periods, the foreign
exchange gain (loss) was immaterial. At December 31, 1997 the Company held
foreign currency contracts of approximately $2.6 million. The fair value of
these forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 1997 approximate the
contract amounts.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product license fees is recognized upon shipment. At the time the
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software products, no significant
vendor obligations remain and the costs of insignificant support obligations, if
any, are accrued. The Company typically does not grant to its customers a
contractual right to return software products. Accordingly, no provision for
estimated returns is generally recorded at the time of the sale. When approved
by management, however, the Company has accepted returns of certain software
products and has provided an allowance for those specific products. Maintenance
revenue for annual maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over
the term of agreement. Revenue from consulting and education services is
recognized as the related services are performed.

                   (TABLES IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and
sales returns of approximately $583,000, $820,000 and $868,000 at December 31,
1997 and 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively. The provisions charged to the
statement of operations were $37,000, $0, $350,000, and $122,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1997, the six month transition period ended December 31, 1996
and the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and deductions
against the allowances were $274,000 $48,000, $424,000, and $839,000 in the year
ending December 31, 1997, the six month transition period ended December 31,
1996 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of software licenses includes capitalized software amortization expense and
other costs principally related to the duplication and distribution of licensed
software products. Cost of consulting and education services and maintenance
includes personnel, travel and occupancy costs connected with providing such
services.

DEFERRED REVENUE

Maintenance revenue which is not yet earned is included in deferred revenue.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of less
than ninety days when acquired. These investments are stated at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates market value. Included in cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively, are
$0, $700,000 and $699,000 in United States Treasury Securities under agreement
to resell in January 1997, and July 1996, respectively. Treasury securities
purchased under agreements to resell are held in safekeeping by the Company's
bank.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. At disposition, the cost of
property and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet
and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. Depreciation
and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the related assets as follows:

 Computer and related equipment....  3 to 5 years
 Equipment under capital lease.....  Shorter of life of lease or useful life
 Office furniture and fixtures.....  5 to 7 years
 Leasehold improvements............  Shorter of life of lease or useful life

SOFTWARE COSTS AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company capitalizes certain software costs after technological feasibility
of the product has been established. Costs incurred prior to the establishment
of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense.
Software costs are amortized, on a product by product basis, ratably over the
estimated economic life of the product (generally two years, five years in the
case of WindTunnel), or the ratio of current gross revenues to total current and
expected future gross revenues of the product, whichever is greater.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (TABLES IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

The Company evaluates the net realizable value of capitalized software and other
intangible assets on an ongoing basis relying on a number of factors including
operating results, business plans, budgets and economic projections and
undiscounted cash flows. In addition, the Company's evaluation considers
non-financial data such as market trends, product development cycles and changes
in management's market emphasis.

Costs in excess of net assets of acquired companies are amortized on a
straight-line basis over a ten-year period. Goodwill totaled $581,000 before
accumulated amortization of approximately $296,000, $275,000, and $246,000 at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation reserve against
deferred assets is recorded if based upon weighted available evidence, it is
more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No.
128), "Earnings Per Share" which required adoption during the year ending
December 31, 1997. Earnings per share are stated for all periods presented in
accordance with the new guideline. Basic income (loss) per common share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of preferred
stock, warrants and stock options (calculated using the treasury stock method).
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the transition period ended December 31
1996, and fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, and 1995, common equivalent shares
are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they are
antidilutive. Securities that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the
future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because they would have been antidilutive were 7,784,000 shares, 3,721,000
shares, 3,247,000 shares, and 5,130,000 shares, for the year ended December 31,
1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996 and fiscal years ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist of temporary cash investments and trade receivables.

The Company invests its cash in deposits with major banks and in money market
investments and obligations of the United States Government and Federal
agencies. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its
investments.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables include
receivables from a significant customer (see, also, Note 8.) and are otherwise
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer
base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses. Such losses to date have been within
management's expectations.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS 130)
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. The Company has elected early adoption of the standard. Comprehensive
income is the term used to describe the change in equity from events or
transactions from non-owners sources. All periods presented have been restated
to reflect the impact of non-owner transactions in the financial statements.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On March 27, 1997, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of
Multiquest Corporation ("Multiquest") in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The Company acquired the assets and liabilities in exchange for 50,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase price for Multiquest was
approximately $209,000 based upon a stock price of 4.1875 (which approximated
the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the closing of the
acquisition). The net tangible assets and liabilities of Multiquest acquired by
the Company were insignificant. The purchase price was allocated to the fair
value of the technology acquired and customer lists. The Company's results
reflect the allocation of the purchase price in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and the results of operations reflect the impact
of the acquisition since the closing date. The pro-forma results of Multiquest
prior to the acquisition would be immaterial to the Company's reported results
and are therefore not presented. (See, also note 13.)

On July 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Cadre Technologies
Inc. ("Cadre") under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 25, 1996, by
and among the Company, Cadre and B.C. Acquisition Corp., whereby the Company
agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Cadre in exchange for
4,716,442 shares of Cayenne common stock (the "merger"). The merger has been
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests beginning in the first quarter of the
transition period ended December 31, 1996. Accordingly, all financial data
contained herein include the accounts of Cadre for all periods presented. The
Company's fiscal 1996 results have been combined with Cadre's results for the
twelve months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's results for fiscal 1995 have
been combined with Cadre's calendar year end results for the same period. In
this presentation, Cadre's financial data for the period July 1, 1995 to
December 31, 1995 is included in both the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
The six month period includes a net loss of $3,160,000. Additionally, effective
upon the merger, the Company changed its name to Cayenne Software, Inc. The
Company acquired Cadre to expand its product offerings to include structured
analysis and design and object-oriented technology and to expand its customer
base.

During the transition period ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred a
$6.3 million charge to operations to reflect costs associated with combining the
operations of the two companies, transaction fees, and other costs. Included in
the charge is $1.6 million of employee related termination expenses, $1.3
million of legal, accounting, investment banking and other professional fees,
$1.4 million of facility closure and consolidation expenses, and $2.0 million of
other expenses associated with the consolidation of the two companies and the
name change.

On May 1, 1995, the Company acquired Westmount Technology, B.V. ("Westmount") in
a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The Company acquired Westmount for
approximately 679,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase an
additional 185,000 shares. The purchase price for Westmount was approximately
$3.8 million. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company recorded assets
purchased of approximately $8.1 million and liabilities assumed of $4.3 million.
$7.3 million of the recorded assets were attributed to in-process research and
development and was charged to operations during 1995. The software had not
reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative use. In
connection with the purchase of Westmount, a shareholder trust of former
Westmount shareholders granted the Company a $1.6 million subordinated,
convertible loan. The note accrued interest at a simple rate of 10%, payable
annually in arrears. Effective upon the merger and resulting change of control,
the debt and accrued interest were automatically converted into 220,000 common
shares of the Company.

respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the transition period
ended December 31, 1996 and fiscal 1996, the Company wrote-off $.3million, $4.4
million and $8 million of fully depreciated assets.

4. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

Amortization expenses for previously capitalized software costs for the year

The entire deferred tax asset has been fully reserved with a valuation allowance
due to the uncertainty of realization. The Company has historically not
generated taxable income sufficient to ensure usage of the deferred tax asset.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had remaining net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards of approximately $81,000,000, including approximately $6,900,000
for international operations, currently available to offset future taxable
income and unused federal tax credits of approximately $4,100,000. If not
utilized, these credits and carryforwards will expire between the years 2001 and
2012. Due to the Company's issuances of stock, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 has
restricted the Company's use of approximately $19,300,000 of its existing NOL
carryforwards.

The provision for income taxes recorded in the year ended December 31, 1997, the
transition period ended December 31, 1996, and the years ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 consisted of the following:

The effective tax rates for the year ended December, 31, 1997, the transition
period ended December 31, 1996 and fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
not meaningful, as the Company was in a net loss position.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan which is available to all
U.S. employees. The Company made no contributions to the plan during the year
ended December 31, 1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996 or in the
years ended June 30, 1996, and 1995. Cadre also had a qualified defined
contribution plan and made matching contributions of $0, $213,000 and $213,000
in the transition period ended December 31, 1996 and years ended June 30, 1996,
and 1995.

The Company's 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") permits eligible
employees to purchase up to a maximum of 625 shares of stock quarterly on
October 31, January 31, April 30, and July 31 at a purchase price equal to 85%
of the market price of the Company's common stock on either the first or last
day of each quarterly period, whichever price is lower, through accumulation of
payroll deductions of up to 20% of each participating employee's qualifying
compensation during such quarterly period. The Plan commenced operations on May
1, 1992. At December 31, 1997, 400,000 shares were reserved for issuance under
the Plan of which approximately 259,000 shares have been purchased by employees.

The company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially effect the
financial position of the Company.

Cayenne has received from Esprit Systems Consulting, Inc. ("Esprit") a Notice of
Intent to Arbitrate, claiming that Cayenne is liable to Esprit for approximately
$1.6 million under an extension to a contract for software training services to
be rendered to Cadre. Esprit subsequently withdrew its Notice of Intent to
Arbitrate, but has stated that it intends to proceed with either arbitration or
litigation. Cayenne believes that the claim is without merit because, among
other things, the contract in question terminated without extension. However,
there can be no assurance as to the claim's future course or likely result.

8. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

of an integrated suite of software products and services. The Company markets

Revenues from a major customer as a percentage of total revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996, and in
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were 17%, 16%, 15%, and 9%,
respectively. Included in the results of operations for December 31, 1997 is a
$1.9 million non-recurring charge related to management changes and the
realignment of the sales organization, moving the corporate headquarters to
another facility, and the write-off of purchased software, approximately $1.5
million in the United States, $.2 million in the United Kingdom, and $.1 million
in both Italy and rest of world. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997 the
Company evaluated its restructuring reserve and determined that amounts provided
for in previous restructuring actions were no longer required. As a result, the
Company recorded a benefit of approximately $.4 million in the United States.
Also, included in the results of operations for the transition period ended
December 31, 1996 is $6.3 million of merger and other costs, approximately $5.6
million in the United States, $0.1 million in Italy, $0.5 million in the United
Kingdom, and $0.1 million in rest of world. Additional restructurings during
fiscal 1996 and 1995 together with a $7.3 million write-off of in-process
research and development related to the Westmount purchase adversely impacted
the results of operations. Fiscal 1996 results include charges of $2.8 million
allocated primarily to the United States. Fiscal 1995 results include charges of
$5.5 million of which approximately $4.1 million was allocated to the United
States, $0.1 million to the United Kingdom, $0.1 million to Italy and $1.2
million to rest of world. The $7.3 million write-off related to Westmount was
charged to rest of world operations during 1995.

9. CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has 1,600,000 shares of $1.00 par value "blank check" preferred
stock authorized. Such shares may be issued in one or more future series by the
Board of Directors and, subject to certain limitations so as not to adversely
effect other holders of preferred stock, if any, are to have such rights and
preferences as the Board of Directors establishes before issuance. On November
21, 1994, the Company issued 1,787.073 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. In connection with the issuance of the Series A preferred stock, the
Company issued to the Series A preferred stockholders three-year warrants to
purchase 357,415 shares of the Company Common Stock (with Registration Rights)
at an exercise price of $3.28 per share. These warrants were valued at $319,000
and are included in additional paid in capital. As of December 31, 1997, all
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to Common
Stock.

                   (TABLES IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

On January 2, 1997, the Company raised approximately $3.0 million in a private
placement of 150,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the
issuance of 350,000 warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. On July 18,
1997, the Company raised approximately $2.0 million in a private placement of
100,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of
warrants to purchase 233,332 shares of the Company's Common stock. On August 28,
1997, the Company raised approximately $5.0 million in a private placement of
250,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of
583,332 warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to earn dividends at a rate of 5% per
annum, payable upon conversion, in cash or stock, at the option of the Company.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common
Stock at a rate determined by the lower of the average quoted market price of
the common stock for either (i) the ten trading days preceding the date of
issuance or (ii) any five trading days during any period of thirty trading days
before the conversion. All outstanding and unconverted shares of preferred stock
may be converted, at the option of the Company, two years from the date the
securities were declared effective and at a specified conversion price. The
warrants issued by the Company in conjunction with the closing of each of the
private placements, are for the purchase of shares of the Company's Common Stock
at exercise prices ranging from 120% to 150% of the price set forth in clause
(i) above and having varying expiration dates from three to five years. The
shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Preferred stock and warrants
are entitled to registration rights under terms of the registration rights
agreement dated for each of the offering dates. The warrants issued with these
offerings were valued at $1,724,000 and are included in additional paid in
capital. As of December 31, 1997 all shares of the Series B and 40,000 shares of
the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the transition period ended December
31, 1996 and in fiscal year 1996, the Company received $0, $472,000 and $500,000
in connection with the exercise of warrants. Warrants for 1,504,461 shares of
common stock remain outstanding at December 31, 1997.

10. STOCK OPTIONS

Under the Company's amended 1996 incentive and nonqualified stock option plan
(the "1996 Plan"), incentive stock options can be granted to employees and
consultants entitling them to purchase shares of common stock within one to ten
years from the date of grant at option prices equal to the fair market value at
the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options are generally granted under the
same terms. The vesting period for stock options is generally four years. The
exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of fair market value
in the case of employees or officers holding 10% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company). At December 31, 1997, the
number of shares issuable under the 1996 Plan is 2,000,000.

Employees of the Company currently hold stock options under three additional
plans: the Amended and Restated 1986 Incentive and Non Qualified Stock Option
Plan, the Cadre 1988 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, and the
Cadre 1989 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. For the future, the Company expects
to grant additional options only under the 1996 Plan.

The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (SFAS 123) "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation" in 1996 and has
continued to apply APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
its plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation
plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated
in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and earnings per share for
the year ended December 31, 1997, the transition period ended December 31, 1996,
and the year ended June 30, 1996 would have been reduced to the pro forma 
amounts indicated below:

</TABLE>

The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not likely to
be representative of effects on reported net income for future years. SFAS 123
does not apply to awards prior to 1996 and additional awards in future years are
anticipated.

The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for grants in 1997 and for both periods in 1996: an expected life of
3.6 years and 5.0 years; expected volatility of 67% in both years; a dividend
yield of 0%; and a risk-free interest rate between (5.2% and 7.8%) and (5.2%.
and 7.6%). All forfeitures of options under the plan are accounted for as they
occur. During 1997 the Company cancelled and reissued stock options previously
granted to employees. Old options were cancelled under all three of the plans
and new options were issued under the 1996 plan in the amount of 576,662 options
at a price of $2.50 and 7,900 options in the amount of $2.75.

In management's opinion existing stock option valuation models do not provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of employee stock options that have
vesting provisions and are not transferable. In addition, option pricing models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock
price volatility. Management has elected to project expected volatility based
upon the stock's actual historical performance to date.

13. NON-RECURRING COSTS

NON-RECURRING COSTS. The Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $1.9 million
in the fourth quarter of 1997 related to management changes and realignment of
the sales organization, costs associated with moving the corporate headquarters
to another facility, and the write-off of purchased software. Included in the
$1.9 million was a charge of $1.0 million related to management changes and
other initiatives taken to improve sales and operating efficiencies. Also,
included in the charge was $.3 million related to the move of its headquarters
and principal facilities from Burlington to Bedford, Massachusetts. Additionally
the Company reviewed its product strategy and determined that purchased software
principally related to the Westmount acquisition no longer matched the strategic
direction of the Company. As a result of the subsequent review of the purchased
software's net realizable value the Company incurred a charge of $.6 million to
appropriately reflect the purchased software's net realizable value. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Company evaluated its restructuring reserve and
determined that amounts provided for in previous restructuring actions were no
longer required. As a result, the Company recorded a benefit of approximately
$.4 million.

During the transition period ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred a
$6.3 million charge to operations to reflect costs associated with combining the
operations of the two companies, transactions fees, and other costs. The Board
of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan to terminate certain
specified employees and close certain facilities. Such a plan was communicated
to the employees prior to the end of the quarter and such employees were
specifically identified and terminated. Included in the charge was $1.6 million
of employee related termination expenses, $1.3 million of legal, accounting,
investment banking and other professional fees, $1.4 million of facility closure
and consolidation expenses, and $2.0 million of other expenses associated with
the consolidation of the two companies and the name change.

Based on the results of fiscal 1996 and in conjunction with the contemplated
merger with Cadre, the Company reviewed its product strategy and determined that
several products including WindTunnel were no longer consistent with the
Company's objectives. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the net realizable
value of the related intangible assets and recorded a charge of approximately
$1.1 million principally related to the write-off of the intangible asset
acquired as part of its acquisition of WindTunnel. Also during fiscal 1996, the
Company restructured its operations to reduce costs and utilize resources more
effectively.

During 1995, following the Westmount Technology, B.V. acquisition and the
completion of certain significant development efforts and associated product
introduction, the Company restructured its operations and wrote off redundant
software investments. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.0
million, $1.8 million and $1.7 million during the quarters ended September 30,
1994, June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995. The aggregate $5.5 million charge to
operations reflected costs associated with termination benefits, the write off 
of redundant software investments and facility restructuring. Included in the
charge is $3.9 million of employee related termination expenses, $0.9 million of
redundant software investments and $0.7 million of facilities and other expenses
associated with the restructuring.

At December 31, 1997, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for
all restructuring actions taken to date.

14. BORROWINGS

On November 3, 1997, the Company renewed its revolving credit agreement with a
bank to borrow up to $5.0 million and to extend its term through October 5, 1998
and to amend financial and operating covenants and other provisions of the
agreement. The loan is contingent upon meeting certain financial and operating
covenants at the time of any borrowing and over the life of the loan. The loan
is secured by all of the assets of the Company and any borrowing amounts are
tied to a percentage of qualified accounts receivable outstanding at the time of
any borrowing. The loan carries an interest rate at bank prime plus two percent.
The financial covenants, which were amended, include a quarterly minimum net
worth covenant of $5.5 million and liquidity (generally defined as cash and cash
equivalents plus eligible domestic accounts receivable and eligible
international accounts receivable less any indebtedness to the bank) at the end
of each quarter. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December
31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, the borrowing base under the revolving credit
agreement was approximately $3.7 million. The Company had approximately $2.4
million, $2.8 million, and $1.5 million outstanding against the line of credit
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.

On November 6, 1996 and in connection with the renewal of the bank agreement the
Company issued to the bank a three-year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share.

The Company also had a bank agreement that consisted of a $3.0 million revolving
line loan which was outstanding at June 30, 1995. The loan was collateralized by
general intangibles, accounts receivable and inventory. A new financing
arrangement ("Factoring Agreement") was used to repay the loan of $3.0 million
in 1996. The factoring agreement had a financing limit of $5.6 million based on
qualified accounts receivable. In addition, at June 30, 1996, the Company had
approximately $2.4 million outstanding under the factoring agreement. The
Company repaid the entire amount during the transition period and terminated the
agreement.

15. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS No. 131)
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which
will require adoption during the year ended December 31, 1998. This statement
established standards for the way public enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual reports. The Company is in the process of
determining the effect of adoption of this statement on its consolidated
financial statement disclosures.

In October 1997, Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP
97-2), was issued which provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 97-2
is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt the guidelines of SOP 97-2 as of
January 1, 1998 and its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's financial results.

                                      (1)
<PAGE>   4

                              W I T N E S S E T H :


                  1.       Term; Existing Sublease

                  (a) Sublandlord hereby sublets the Sublease Premises to
Subtenant and Subtenant hereby hires the Sublease Premises from Sublandlord
commencing on November 1, 1997 (the "Commencement Date"), subject to the terms
of Section 1(b) below, and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the
terms hereof or the Overlease, shall terminate on April 30, 2005 (the
"Expiration Date"). Subtenant acknowledges that if the Overlease terminates for
any reason whatsoever (other than by reason of a default by Sublandlord as
tenant thereunder or a default hereunder) prior to the expiration of the term
hereof (as the same may be renewed or extended, the "Sublease Term" or "Term"),
this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously therewith, and such termination
date of the Overlease shall be the date on which the term of this Sublease shall
expire.

                  (b) This Sublease is made subject to that certain Sublease
Agreement dated as of August 16, 1995 (the "Existing Sublease") between
Sublandlord and Thinking Machines, Inc. (the "Existing Subtenant") and any and
all leases, subleases and other matters caused or suffered by the Existing
Subtenant, including, without limitation, that certain sublease dated as of
April 22, 1996 (the "Existing Sub-Sublease") between the Existing Subtenant and

Sublandlord shall fail to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises free and
clear of the possession of the Existing Subtenant (but subject nevertheless to
the possession and rights of the leasee under the Existing Sub-Sublease) on or
before the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall have as its sole remedy the option
to terminate the Sublease by notice to Sublandlord given on or before November
5, 1997. If Subtenant does not terminate the Sublease, then the Sublease Term
shall commence on the Commencement Date, and Sublandlord shall assign, without
recourse or representation, the Surrender Agreement (hereinafter defined) to
Subtenant and thereupon be relieved entirely from any and all obligations to
enforce the Surrender Agreement provided Sublandlord alone shall be liable for
any payments due to the Existing Subtenant under the Surrender Agreement other
than pursuant to the last paragraph thereof which shall be the responsibility of
Subtenant if the Surrender Agreement is so assigned.

                  (c) On or before the date hereof, Sublandlord and the Existing
Subtenant have entered into a certain Surrender Agreement (the "Surrender
Agreement") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Sublandlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Surrender Agreement,
provided, however Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant by reason of
any failure by the Existing Subtenant to observe any of the terms of the
Surrender Agreement. No such failure(s) shall reduce any of Subtenant's
obligations hereunder, give rise to any defense, offset, claim or counterclaim
or entitle Subtenant to extend the Term or terminate this Sublease 




                                      (2)

except as expressly provided above. In accordance with the Surrender Agreement,

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

applicable to the Sublease Premises, upon all the terms, covenants and
conditions of the letting effected by the Original Lease (and Section 6.1 and
the first paragraph of 6.2 of Amendment No. 8 to the 



                                      (4)
<PAGE>   7

Original Lease) which are hereby incorporated by reference herein, subject to
Section 6 hereof, so that whenever the terms "Lessor" (or "Landlord"), "Lessee"
(or "Tenant"), "this Lease," "the Premises," the "Term Commencement Date,"
"Term," and "Fixed Annual Rent" occur in the Original Lease, they shall be
deemed to refer respectively to Sublandlord, Subtenant, this Sublease, the
Sublease Premises, the Commencement Date, the Sublease Term and Minimum Rent.
Throughout the Sublease Term, Subtenant will observe and perform all of the
provisions of the Overlease to the extent applicable to the Sublease Premises
(except for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent and other matters expressly
excluded hereunder) on the part of Sublandlord to be performed as tenant
thereunder and will not do, or permit to be done in or about the Sublease
Premises, any act, manner or thing which will be, result in, or constitute a
violation or breach of or a default under the Overlease (but only with respect
to matters arising during the Sublease Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy
of the Sublease Premises); any such violation, breach or default to constitute a
breach by Subtenant of a substantial obligation under this Sublease. Subtenant
hereby assumes the full, faithful and complete performance of the Overlease to
the extent applicable to the Sublease Premises (but only with respect to matters
arising during the Sublease Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy of the
Sublease Premises) and, to the extent aforesaid, agrees that its occupancy shall
be subject to, and that it will observe and perform, each and every term,
covenant, provision, condition, agreement and obligation imposed upon
Sublandlord in its capacity as tenant under the Overlease with respect to the
Sublease Premises (but only with respect to matters arising during the Sublease
Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy of the Sublease Premises), with the sole
exception of provisions to the contrary herein contained. Subtenant hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims,
penalties, costs, losses and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, relocation expenses, rent differential expenses and obligations
incurred by Sublandlord or owing to any other subtenant, assignee, or
Overlandlord based upon any default by Subtenant or any sublessee or assignee of
Subtenant in the performance of those terms, covenants and conditions of the
Overlease which have been assumed by Subtenant (other than a payment default
under the Overlease) except to the extent due to the wrongful acts or negligence
of Sublandlord or of other sublessees or assignee of Sublandlord (other than
Subtenant). Sublandlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Subtenant harmless
from and against all claims, penalties, costs, losses and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, relocation expenses, rent
differential expenses and obligations incurred by Subtenant or owing to any
subtenant or assignee of Subtenant) based upon any default by Sublandlord or of
other sublessees or assignee of Sublandlord (other than Subtenant) in the
performance of those terms, covenants and conditions of the Overlease which have
not been assumed by Subtenant except to the extent that Subtenant has
indemnified Sublandlord with respect thereto or same is due to a default by
Subtenant hereunder or the wrongful acts or negligence of Subtenant. Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, any and all sums which
Sublandlord is required to pay to Overlandlord to the extent caused by
Subtenant's failure to perform or observe any of the terms and conditions of the
Overlease pertaining to the Sublease Premises or by any act or omission
described in the sentence preceding the preceding



                                      (5)
<PAGE>   8
sentence. Notwithstanding the above, Sublandlord shall not be liable to
Subtenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in
performance by the Overlandlord of the corresponding covenant of the Overlease
and Sublandlord's obligations hereunder are accordingly conditional where such
obligations require such parallel performance by Overlandlord. Subtenant
recognizes that Sublandlord is not in a position to render any of the services
or to perform any of the obligations required of Sublandlord by the terms of
this Sublease; Sublandlord agrees, however, to use reasonable efforts to enforce
the Overlease for the benefit of Subtenant upon Subtenant's request. Subtenant
agrees to promptly reimburse Sublandlord for any and all reasonable costs it
shall incur in expending any such efforts, and Subtenant does hereby indemnify
and agree to hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Sublandlord in expending such efforts.
Except as provided in Section 4(g), nothing contained in this Sublease shall
require Sublandlord to institute any suit or action to enforce any such rights.
In amplification, and not in limitation of the foregoing, and without any
allowance to Subtenant or other reduction, abatement or adjustment of Minimum
Rent or Additional Rent, Sublandlord shall not be responsible for furnishing
elevator, electric, HVAC, cleaning, painting, window washing or other services,
nor for any maintenance, repairs installation or alterations in or to the
Premises or the Sublease Premises. In addition to the foregoing, no such failure
or default on the part of Overlandlord shall constitute an actual or
constructive total or partial eviction of Subtenant or entitle Subtenant to a
reduction or abatement of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent hereunder except as
expressly provided herein to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, to the extent that the failure in performance by the
Overlandlord of its obligations under the Overlease results in a right to an
abatement of rent under the Overlease with respect to the Sublease Premises,
Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent hereunder; provided,
however, the amount of such abatement shall not exceed the amount of abatement
under the Overlease which Sublandlord has a right to receive with respect to the
Sublease Premises.

                  (c) In any case where the consent or approval of Overlandlord
shall be required pursuant to the Overlease, Sublandlord's consent shall also be
required hereunder; provided, however, Sublandlord agrees not to unreasonably
withhold its consent under this Section 4(c) to any item which shall have been
approved by Overlandlord. Sublandlord warrants and represents that a complete
copy of the Overlease is attached hereto as Exhibit B and there are no rules or
regulations promulgated under the Overlease.

                  (d) If Subtenant shall default (beyond any applicable notice
and cure period) in the payment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent hereunder or
in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Sublease or the Overlease (to the extent applicable to the Sublease
Premises) on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed, Sublandlord
shall have all rights available at law and/or equity and the right (but not the
obligation) to exercise against Subtenant in connection with this Sublease all
of the same rights and remedies provided to or reserved 



                                      (6)

herein or by Overlandlord in the Overlease; provided, however, the foregoing
shall in no way be deemed to limit or impair the rights and privileges of the
Overlandlord under the Overlease or to impose any obligations on the part of
Sublandlord by reason of the exercise by Overlandlord of any of such rights or
privileges with respect to the Sublease Premises or to the use and occupation
thereof by Subtenant. Without limitation of the foregoing or the terms and
provisions of Section 21 hereof, Sublandlord shall have the same rights and
remedies against Subtenant in the event of non-payment by Subtenant of Minimum
Rent or Additional Rent hereunder as are available to Overlandlord under the
Overlease, at law and/or in equity for the non-payment of rent or of any
installment thereof.

                  (e) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each, promptly after
receipt thereof, notify the other of any notice served by Overlandlord upon it
pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Overlease or with
reference to this Sublease or the Sublease Premises. Wherever Overlandlord
requires Sublandlord (or Subtenant) to take any action or to cure any default
(other than a default in the payment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent pursuant
to the Overlease or other default curable solely by Sublandlord) applicable to
the Sublease Premises (but only with respect to matters arising during the
Sublease Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy of the Sublease Premises)
within a period of time stated in such notice or in the Overlease, Subtenant
shall complete such action or cure such default not later than five (5) days
prior to the expiration of such period and shall immediately furnish written
notice of compliance to Sublandlord. If Subtenant fails to timely complete such
cure, Sublandlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, to take any
such action, on behalf of Subtenant and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, upon
demand, as Additional Rent the amount expended by Sublandlord in so doing
together with interest at the rate set forth in Section IX of the Overlease.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with
respect to the physical condition of the Sublease Premises and the other
portions of the Overlease Premises, Subtenant shall not be liable or responsible
for any cost, expense, liability or obligation with respect to any matters
arising or conditions existing prior to the earlier of the commencement date
under the Existing Sublease or the date on which the Existing Subtenant took
occupancy of the Sublease Premises. Subtenant shall not be responsible for any
amounts due under the second paragraph of Section 6.2 of Amendment No. 8 to the
Original Lease resulting from any request by Sublandlord for Overlandlord to
undertake additional leasehold improvements unless such request corresponds to a
request made by Subtenant.

                  (g) Sublandlord agrees that if (i) Overlandlord is in default
of its obligations under the Overlease after the expiration of any applicable
cure period, (ii) such default materially adversely affects Subtenant, (iii)
Sublandlord shall have exhausted all reasonable efforts to compel Overlandlord
to cure such default (other than commencing appropriate legal action), (iv) no
default shall exist in the payment of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or any other
sum or any other obligation of Subtenant hereunder beyond any applicable notice
and cure period and (v) Subtenant shall have 



                                      (7)
<PAGE>   10

delivered to Sublandlord assurances, including security if reasonably required
by Sublandlord, satisfactory in all respects to Sublandlord in the exercise of
its reasonable judgment, for the performance of Subtenant's obligations under
this Section 4(g), then Sublandlord shall institute such appropriate legal
action to enforce Overlandlord's obligations with respect to the Sublease
Premises as Subtenant may reasonably request in writing, at Subtenant's sole
cost and expense, with counsel of Sublandlord's selection reasonably acceptable
to Subtenant; provided, however, if the only premises demised under the
Overlease are the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall be entitled to commence and
prosecute in a manner reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord such action.
Subtenant shall within five (5) days after demand reimburse Sublandlord for any
and all costs which Sublandlord shall incur in connection with any such action,
and Subtenant does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Sublandlord harmless from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred or suffered by Sublandlord by reason of or in connection with such
action.

                  (h) Sublandlord shall not do, or permit to be done in or about
the Overlease Premises (exclusive of the areas in and about the Sublease
Premises), any act, manner or thing that will result in, be or constitute a
violation, breach or default on the part of Sublandlord under the Overlease.
Sublandlord shall not modify or terminate the Overlease in any manner that would
adversely affect Subtenant's rights and obligations hereunder or reduce
Overlandlord's obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises and in no
event shall Subtenant be obligated to perform any additional obligation by
reason of any amendment made to the Original Lease after the date hereof;
provided, however, Sublandlord may terminate the Overlease to the extent
permitted by applicable law or as provided in the Original Lease and Amendments
Nos. 1 through No. 12, inclusive, to the Original Lease. Nothing contained
herein is intended to reduce Sublandlord's liability by reason of Sublandlord's
rejection or termination of the Overlease in connection with any of the events
or circumstances described in Section 21(a)(v) occurring with respect to
Sublandlord.

                  5.       Additional Rent.

                  (a) All amounts payable hereunder by Subtenant other than
Minimum Rent are referred to as "Additional Rent." Sublandlord shall have the
same rights and remedies with respect to the non-payment or late-payment of
Minimum Rent as Sublandlord has with respect to the non-payment or late-payment
(as applicable) of Minimum Rent.

                  (b) As Additional Rent hereunder, Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord all amounts payable by Sublandlord (as tenant under the Overlease)
with respect to the Sublease Premises and its appurtenances attributable to the
Sublease Term and/or any other period of occupancy by Subtenant other than Fixed
Annual Rent and penalties, late charges, interest payable by Sublandlord by
reason of its failure to timely pay such Fixed Annual Rent or to turn over to
Overlandlord any items of Additional Rent payable to 



                                      (8)
<PAGE>   11

Overlandlord promptly after the payment thereof by Subtenant. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant shall pay all amounts payable by
Sublandlord as tenant under the Overlease on account of Tax Expenses, Management
Fees and Net Rental Operating Expenses and all other amounts payable under
Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of Amendment No. 8 to the Original Lease, attributable
to the Sublease Premises and/or its appurtenances for the Sublease Term or while
Subtenant is in occupancy. Sublandlord shall request that Overlandlord continue
its current practices of reconciling payments based on estimates with actual
expenses every twelve months. Sublandlord estimates that the annual Tax
Expenses, Management Fee and Net Rental Operating Expenses for 1997 for the
Subleased Premises will be $4.91 per rentable square foot. Such estimate shall
not be binding on either party. The parties acknowledge that the Sublease
Premises contain approximately 92,648 rentable square feet.

                  (c) In the event that Additional Rent is due under the
Overlease with respect to any period which includes the Commencement Date or the
date of expiration of the Term, Subtenant's obligations hereunder on account of
such Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated. Subtenant's obligation to
pay Additional Rent, pursuant to the terms of this Section 5, shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

                  (d) Subtenant shall pay Additional Rent, from time to time,
within the periods specified in Section 10 hereof, without any deduction or
offset whatsoever except as expressly set forth herein. Subtenant shall also pay
any costs relating to repair or restoration of the Sublease Premises to the
extent such obligation might otherwise rest on Sublandlord under the Overlease,
other than with respect to matters existing prior to the earlier of the
Commencement Date and the date on which Subtenant takes occupancy of the
Sublease Premises.

                  (e) If any commercial rent tax or occupancy tax shall be
levied with regard to the Sublease Premises with respect to the Sublease Term or
Subtenant's occupancy of the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall pay the same
either to the taxing authority, or, if appropriate, to Sublandlord as Additional
Rent, on or before the due date of such payment. In the event that any such tax
payment shall be made to Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall remit the amount of such
payment to the taxing authority on Subtenant's behalf.

                  (f) Subtenant shall pay directly to the landlord under the
Overlease when due monetary obligations of any kind Subtenant incurs directly
with the landlord under the Overlease, including, but not limited to, the cost
of the lobby guard (if any) and any similar or other charges or obligations
incurred from time to time by Subtenant or any sublessee or transferee of
Subtenant. Such sums shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder.

                  (g) Subtenant shall pay from time to time to Sublandlord for
all electricity used in the Sublease Premises during the Sublease Term or while
Subtenant is in occupancy of the Sublease Premises, all amounts charged to
Sublandlord for or on 



                                      (9)
<PAGE>   12

account of such electricity and the charges therefor (including, without
limitation, taxes and/or surcharges thereon), all not later than five (5) days
prior to the date on which Sublandlord is obligated to make the corresponding
payment. Subtenant shall pay directly to the utility company(ies) when due any
charges for, or on account of, utilities directly billed to Subtenant by such
company(ies) for utilities consumed in the Sublease Premises during the Sublease
Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy of the Sublease Premises.

                  6. Non-Applicability of Certain Overlease Provisions. The
terms of the Overlease as incorporated herein so as to relate directly to the
relationship between Sublandlord and Subtenant hereunder pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 4(b) hereof are modified as follows; provided, however the
following modifications of the provisions of the Overlease, are made solely as
to the incorporation by reference of the Overlease herein and do not affect
Subtenant's obligations under the second and third sentences of Section 4(b)
hereof:

                  (a) In all cases, if the Subtenant is required to submit to,
exhibit to, provide or supply to Sublandlord (or if the Sublandlord hereunder is
required to submit to, exhibit to, provide or supply Overlandlord pursuant to
the terms of the Overlease, as the same relates to the Subleased Premises) with
evidence, certificates or any other matter or thing, or to give Sublandlord (or
Overlandlord, as aforesaid) notice, then Subtenant shall be required, absent
Sublandlord's written consent to the contrary, to submit, exhibit, provide or
supply such evidence, certificates or any other matter or thing simultaneously
to Overlandlord and Sublandlord;

                  (b) The following provisions of the Original Lease are
deleted: Article I; Article III; Paragraphs IV (a), (b) and (g); Paragraphs VII
(c), (d) and (f); Article V; Paragraph VI (b), (g)(iv) and (g)(v); Article X;
Article XI; Paragraph XII (a); the first two sentences and the fourth sentence
of Article XIII; and Exhibits A and B;

                  (c) The terms of Article VIII of the Original Lease as
incorporated herein are hereby modified so that:

                    (i) Subtenant hereby acknowledges that Sublandlord and
         Overlandlord shall be entitled to construe the terms of Article VIII of
         the Overlease as though the Sublease Premises were the only premises
         demised by the Overlease. Sublandlord hereby acknowledges that Article
         VIII of the Overlease applies to the Sublease Premises.

                   (ii) Paragraphs VIII(a)(ii) and VIII(b) of the Overlease are
         deleted in their entirety for purposes of incorporation herein and the
         following shall apply:

                    (A) Subtenant shall have the following option, which it must
         exercise by written notice to Sublandlord within seven (7) days from
         the occurrence of a casualty. Unless such notice is given, the
         following option shall not operate. In



                                      (10)
<PAGE>   13
         the event of a casualty which deprives Subtenant of the use of more
         than 50% of the Sublease Premises and requires Sublandlord, subject to
         the terms of Section 4(b) and 4(g) of this Sublease, to rebuild in
         accordance with the provisions of Paragraph VIII(a)(i) of the Original
         Lease as incorporated herein, the following procedure shall be
         followed: An independent engineering firm shall promptly determine
         whether or not the Sublease Premises can be restored, within two
         hundred seventy (270) days from the date of the engineer's written
         report, to substantially the condition it was in immediately prior to
         the casualty. If the engineer's report (taking into consideration,
         among other relevant factors, availability of labor and materials and
         the time necessary to employ a contractor who is available to commence
         work) concludes that the restoration can reasonably be accomplished in
         270 days or less, then the restoration shall proceed in accordance with
         the provisions of this Sublease. However, if the engineering report
         concludes that the restoration cannot reasonably be accomplished within
         270 days from the date of the report, then Subtenant shall have seven
         (7) days from the issuance of the engineering report within which to
         notify Sublandlord in writing that it elects to terminate the term of
         this Sublease 270 days (or such shorter time during which the
         Subtenant's rent is abated in full under the provisions of Section
         6(c)(ii)(B) below) from the date of receipt of the notice and this
         Sublease shall so terminate. In the event said notice is not received
         within seven (7) days from the date of the engineer's report, Subtenant
         shall be deemed to have consented to the restoration and shall have
         waived any rights to terminate the term of the Sublease hereunder. In
         the event the engineering report should estimate that 270 days or less
         are reasonably necessary to accomplish the restoration and for any
         reason the report is incorrect and the period of time necessary to
         accomplish the restoration exceeds 270 days, Subtenant agrees that it
         will continue to be bound according to the terms of this Sublease. The
         cost of the engineer's report shall be borne, subject to the terms of
         Section 4(b) and 4(g) of this Sublease, solely by Sublandlord. In the
         event this Section 6(c)(ii)(A) shall operate, and notwithstanding any
         provision to the contrary in Section VIII(a)(i) of the Original Lease
         as incorporated herein, Sublandlord, subject to the terms of Sections
         4(b) and (g) above, shall commence the restoration as soon as
         reasonably practicable after the expiration of the second ten (10) day
         notice period set forth in Paragraph VIII(a)(ii) of the Overlease. Such
         engineering firm shall be acceptable to Overlandlord and Sublandlord;
         provided, however, Sublandlord shall not accept an engineering firm to
         which Subtenant has timely made a reasonable objection. In all events,
         the engineering firm of Charles T. Main, Inc., of Boston, Massachusetts
         shall be acceptable to Sublandlord and Subtenant.

                    (B) In case the Sublease Premises or a part thereof are
         rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty or action of public
         authority in consequence thereof, a just proportion of the Minimum Rent
         and Additional Rent, according to the nature or extent of the injury,
         shall be abated until the repair is completed, but if the abatement
         would at any time exceed the sum of insurance against abatement or loss
         of rent under this Sublease in case of fire or other casualty similarly




                                      (11)
<PAGE>   14

         insured against, plus any abatement to which Sublandlord may be
         correspondingly entitled to under the Overlease, Sublandlord or
         Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by giving the other at least
         twenty (20) days notice specifying the termination date, unless
         Subtenant before the termination date waives abatement to the extent of
         such excess.

                  (iv) Clause (i) of the first sentence of Paragraph VIII(d) of
         the Original Lease is deleted for purposes of incorporation herein. The
         phrase "96 unassigned . . . the term" in clause (ii) of the Original
         Lease is deleted for purposes of incorporation and is replaced with
         "eighty percent (80%) of the parking spaces under Section 3 of this
         Sublease remain available to Subtenant."

                    (v) If the Overlease is terminated with respect to the
         Sublease Premises pursuant to Article VIII thereof, this Sublease shall
         also terminate as and when the Overlease is so terminated. In the event
         of a casualty or condemnation affecting all or any part of the
         Overlease Premises, Sublandlord shall have the right, in its sole
         discretion, to determine whether or not to terminate the Overlease (in
         whole or in part), and if it does so Subtenant (without waiving any of
         its rights against Overlandlord under the Recognition Agreement (as
         defined in Section 27(c) below)) shall have no claim against
         Sublandlord as a result thereof; and

                  (d) The time limits contained in the Original Lease for the
giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or
covenant on the part of the lessee thereunder, or for the exercise by the lessee
thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of
incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by
five days, so that in each instance Subtenant shall have five days less time to
observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord has as the lessee under the
Overlease.

                  7.       Subleases, Assignments, etc.

                  (a) Subtenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of its heirs,
distributees, executives, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, covenants and agrees that Subtenant shall not, by operation of law or
otherwise: (i) assign, mortgage or encumber its interest in this Sublease, in
whole or in part, or (ii) sublet, or permit the subletting of, the Sublease
Premises or any part thereof, or (iii) permit the Sublease Premises or any part
thereof to be occupied or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise
by any person or entity other than Subtenant without the prior written consent
of Sublandlord and Overlandlord in each instance. Any violation of the
provisions of this Section 7(a) shall constitute a material default under this
Sublease.

                  (b) Provided that Subtenant is not in default (beyond any
applicable notice and cure period) under any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to a proposed sublease of less 



                                      (12)
<PAGE>   15
than all or substantially all of the Sublease Premises, provided the following
terms and conditions are first satisfied:

                    (i) Subtenant shall have complied with the provisions of the
         Overlease and shall obtain, prior to the effective date of such
         sublease, any required consents of Overlandlord to such sublease;

                   (ii) In Sublandlord's reasonable judgment, the proposed
         subtenant is engaged in a business, and the Sublease Premises will be
         used in a manner, which (A) is in keeping with the then standards of
         the Premises and (B) is limited to the use for the purposes set forth
         in this Sublease, and for no other purposes;

                  (iii) The proposed subtenant shall be reputable and shall
         have, in the reasonable judgment of Sublandlord, sufficient financial
         worth to perform the obligations of the subtenant under the sublease as
         evidenced by the presentation to Sublandlord of financial and other
         information regarding the proposed subtenant including, without
         limitation, its business experience, a current financial statement, and
         such other information as Sublandlord may reasonably request;

                   (iv) The sublease shall be subject and subordinate to all
         provisions of this Sublease and the Overlease and all of the rights of
         Sublandlord hereunder and of Overlandlord under the Overlease;

                    (v) Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a duplicate
         original of such sublease, duly executed and acknowledged by Subtenant
         and the subtenant, at the time Subtenant requests Sublandlord's consent
         thereto;

                   (vi) The sublease shall provide that it is subject and
         subordinate to this Sublease and to the matters to which this Sublease
         is or shall be subordinate, and that, in the event of termination,
         re-entry or dispossession by Sublandlord under this Sublease,
         Sublandlord may, at its option, take over any of the right, title and
         interest of Subtenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and the
         subtenant shall, at Sublandlord's option, attorn to Sublandlord
         pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that
         Sublandlord shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of
         Subtenant under such sublease, (B) be subject to any counterclaim,
         offset or defense, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against
         Subtenant, or (C) be bound by any previous modification of such
         sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's
         rent (it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that the provisions of
         this Section 7(b)(vi) shall be self-operative, and that no further
         instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision);

                  (vii) The Subtentant's subtenant shall have no right
         whatsoever to further sublet the Sublease Premises or any portion
         thereof or to assign its interest in the sublease;

                                      (13)
<PAGE>   16

                 (viii) There shall not be more than three subtenants or
         occupants (including Subtenant and the Existing Sub-Subtenant) of the
         Sublease Premises; and

                  (vix) No sublease shall be for less than 10,000 contiguous
         square feet of area and shall be of a shape or configuration such that
         each of the area proposed to be sublet and the remainder of the
         Sublease Premises shall in Sublandlord's reasonable judgment constitute
         commercially marketable separate rental units.

                  (c) Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord on demand for all
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, as well as the
costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee
or subtenant) which may be incurred by Sublandlord in connection with a request
by Subtenant that Sublandlord consent to any proposed assignment or sublease.

                  (d) Subtenant hereby waives any claim against Sublandlord for
money damages which Subtenant may have based upon any assertion that Sublandlord
has unreasonably withheld or delayed any consent to a subletting pursuant to the
provisions of this Sublease provided that Sublandlord has acted in good faith.
Subtenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to
enforce such provisions or for specific performance.

                  (e) If Sublandlord shall give its consent to any sublease of
the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent,
50% of any and all Sublease Profits (as hereinafter defined). Subtenant shall
also pay to Overlandlord any and all amounts payable by Sublandlord under the
Overlease by reason of such sublease. For purposes of this Sublease, the term
"Sublease Profits" shall be deemed to mean the amount by which (i) all rents,
additional charges or other consideration payable under the sublease to, or in
connection with the subletting by, Subtenant (including, but not limited to,
sums paid for the sale or rental of Subtenant's fixtures, leasehold
improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property less, in the case
of the sale thereof, the then fair market value or fair rental value, as
applicable, of any such fixtures, leasing improvements, equipment, furniture or
other personal property) after deducting therefrom (other than in the case of
the Existing Sub-Sublease) the amount of any reasonable brokerage commission,
attorney's fees and advertising costs, and the reasonable cost of constructing
demising walls and performing other customary tenant improvements in connection
with the subletting actually incurred by Subtenant in connection with such
subletting, exceed the (ii) Minimum Rent and regularly scheduled items of
Additional Rent accruing during the term of such sublease pursuant to the terms
hereof, in each case, with respect to the portion of the Sublease Premises to be
subleased. Subtenant shall also pay to Sublandlord 50% of all amounts in excess
of the amounts payable by the subtenant under the Existing Sub-Sublease by
reason of any amendment, modification or extension of the Existing Sub-Sublease
or any new sublease with such subtenant or its affiliates, successors or
assigns. The sums payable under this Section 



                                      (14)
<PAGE>   17

7(e) to the extent corresponding to amounts payable by any such subtenant shall
be paid to Sublandlord as and when payable by such subtenant to Subtenant.

                  (f) Any attempted assignment or subletting made contrary to
the provisions of this Section 7 shall be null and void. No consent by
Sublandlord or Overlandlord to any assignment or subletting shall in any manner
be considered to relieve Subtenant from obtaining Sublandlord's and
Overlandlord's express written consent to any further assignment or subletting.
The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply to each and every sublease
Subtenant proposes to enter into during the Sublease Term. For the purposes of
this Section 7, "sublettings" shall be deemed to include all sub-sublettings as
well as sublettings.

                  (g) The direct or indirect transfer and/or exchange of thirty
(30%) percent or more (aggregating all prior transfers) of the shares or other
capital interest of Subtenant or of the shares or other capital interest of any
entity of which Subtenant is a direct or indirect subsidiary, including
transfers by operation of law and including a related or unrelated series of
transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease for purposes of
this Section 7; provided, however, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(g)
shall not apply to Subtenant if all the outstanding voting stock of Subtenant is
then publicly traded.

                  8. Insurance. If the cost of any insurance carried by
Sublandlord with respect to the Sublease Premises or any other part of the
Premises shall be increased for any reason attributable to Subtenant, its use of
the Sublease Premises, its acts or omissions, then Subtenant shall reimburse
Sublandlord for all such additional cost as Additional Rent. Subtenant shall pay
as Additional Rent hereunder Subtenant's pro rata share of Sublandlord's
premiums for insurance maintained by Sublandlord under the Overlease, except for
that portion, if any, of such premiums which is attributable to special uses or
acts of other tenants or subtenants of the Sublease Premises or the Overlease
Premises. Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damage to persons or property
sustained by Subtenant or others by reason of Subtenant's use and occupancy of
the Sublease Premises or by reason of any act, omission, accident or occurrence
in the Sublease Premises. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and to hold Sublandlord
harmless from and against any and all claims arising in connection with the
Sublease Premises during the Sublease Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy
hereunder, and except to the extent caused by the wrongful acts or negligence of
Sublandlord or its agents, other subtenants, or assigns or Overlandlord; and
Subtenant shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain throughout the
term of this Sublease, insurance covering Sublandlord and Subtenant in the types
and limits set forth on Exhibit C hereto and such other increased coverages as
Sublandlord may from time to time reasonably require; such insurance to be
issued by companies licensed to transact business within the state where the
Sublease Premises are located and which are otherwise reasonably acceptable to
Sublandlord. Subtenant shall deliver a certificate of such insurance to
Sublandlord within five (5) business days prior to the Commencement Date; and
certificates of renewal for such policies shall be delivered at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of the then 



                                      (15)
<PAGE>   18

current policies. Each insurance policy shall name Subtenant and Sublandlord as
parties insured and shall contain a provision that the same may not be canceled
without giving Sublandlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice. If
Subtenant shall fail to obtain and deliver such policies in the manner herein
provided, Sublandlord may, obtain such coverage and charge the cost thereof to
Subtenant as Additional Rent hereunder, to be paid by Subtenant, as and when
billed. Subtenant and Sublandlord, each, hereby releases and waives, any and all
claims, damages, causes of action and the like that either of them may now or
hereafter have against the other, its officers, directors, employees, agents,
invitees and contractors to the extent same are covered by any insurance
maintained by the releasing one or would have been covered had it maintained the
insurance required by this Sublease. All policies of insurance obtained by each
of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall contain a waiver of the insurer's right to be
subrogated to its claims against the other, its officers, directors, employees,
agents, invitees and contractors.

                  9. Indemnification. Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend Sublandlord, its partners, officers, directors, employees
and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses arising as a result of, in each case, to the extent not due to the
wrongful acts or negligence of Sublandlord or other sublessees or assignee of
Sublandlord (other than Subtenant): (a) any breach by Subtenant of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Subtenant under this
Sublease, or (b) the conduct of business in or management of the Sublease
Premises during the Term or while Subtenant is in possession of, or otherwise
occupies all or any part of, the Sublease Premises (excluding claims between
Sublandlord and Subtenant arising solely from them being or becoming business
competitors in the software business), or (c) any work or thing whatsoever done
or any condition created in or about the Sublease Premises during the Term or
while Subtenant is in possession of, or otherwise occupies all or any part of,
the Sublease Premises, or (d) any negligent or willful act or omission of
Subtenant or of any licensee or invitee or other occupant of, or person present
at, the Sublease Premises or of any employee, agent or contractor of any of the
foregoing during the Term or while Subtenant is in possession of or otherwise
occupies all or any part of the Sublease Premises.

                  10. Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary,
Subtenant shall make all payments hereunder directly to Sublandlord, and the due
date of each such payment (except as otherwise provided herein) shall be deemed
to be five (5) business days earlier than that provided in the Overlease or the
statement of Overlandlord or, if later (where Subtenant has not previously
received a statement for such amounts directly from Overlandlord), five (5)
business days after Subtenant has received a statement for such amounts due from
Sublandlord. In the case of payments not due under the Overlease and for which
no date for payment is specified herein, such payments shall be due within ten
(10) days after Sublandlord bills Subtenant therefor.

                   11. Brokerage. Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant represents
that it has dealt with no other broker in connection with this transaction other
than Cushman & Wakefield of Massachusetts, Inc. ("C&W") and Whittier Partners
("WP"). Each of



                                      (16)
<PAGE>   19
Sublandlord and Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from
any claims for brokerage commissions or similar fees claimed by any person or
entity (other than said brokers) arising as a result of the acts of the
indemnifying party; it being understood and agreed that Subtenant shall pay any
commission due to C&W and Sublandlord shall pay any commission owed to WP.

                  12. Notices. All notices hereunder to Sublandlord or Subtenant
shall be given in writing and delivered by hand or national overnight courier to
(a) if to Sublandlord, at its address set forth above, Attention: General
Counsel and (b) if to Subtenant, if prior to the Commencement Date, at its
address set forth above and if after the Commencement Date, to the Sublease
Premises, in either case, Attention: General Counsel. By notice given in the
aforesaid manner, either party hereto may notify the other as to any change as
to where and to whom such party's notices are thereafter to be addressed. The
effective date of any notice shall be the date such notice is delivered (if by
hand or by national overnight courier).

                  13.      Consent.

                  This Sublease shall have no effect unless and until
Overlandlord shall have given its written consent hereto in accordance with the
terms of the Overlease and shall have waived its rights, if any, to terminate
Sublandlord's rights to renew or extend the Overlease. Subtenant agrees
immediately to provide to Overlandlord such financial and other information
concerning Subtenant and its principals and business operations as Overlandlord
may reasonably request. Sublandlord shall submit this Sublease upon execution or
receipt (as the case may be) for Overlandlord's approval. If Overlandlord does
not give its consent to this Sublease for any reason whatsoever within thirty
(30) days after the date hereof, then either party may elect to cancel this
Sublease by giving notice to the other party prior to the giving of said consent
by Overlandlord to this Sublease. If either party shall have given notice of
cancellation to the other party in accordance with the provision of this Section
13, then: (i) Sublandlord shall not be obligated to take any further action to
obtain such consent, (ii) Sublandlord shall refund to Subtenant the installment
of Minimum Rent paid by Subtenant, as well as the security (if any) deposited by
Subtenant, at the execution of this Sublease, and (iii) this Sublease shall
thereupon be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect, and
neither of the parties hereto shall have any rights or claims against the other.

                  14. Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in this Sublease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns (to
the extent permitted hereunder). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this Sublease shall be binding on any trustee, receiver or similar
party appointed to oversee the affairs of Subtenant or its liquidation.

                  15. Modification, Waiver, etc. No modification or waiver of
any of the terms hereof shall be valid or binding on either party, unless in
writing duly executed by 



                                      (17)
<PAGE>   20

both of the parties hereto. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach
hereof or default or delinquency hereunder by the other and no failure by either
party hereto to require performance or satisfaction of any provision of this
Sublease, shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach, default or
delinquency of the same or similar nature by the other, or as a waiver of the
provision itself or of the full right of the claiming party to require such
performance or satisfaction at any time thereafter. No failure of either party
hereto to exercise any right, privilege, discretion or power given it hereunder,
or to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with any obligation in
this Sublease, and no custom or practice of either party hereto (or otherwise)
at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver or modification of
its right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.

                  16. Acceptance of Rent; Surrender. The receipt by Sublandlord
of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant
of this Sublease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no provision of
this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived by Sublandlord unless such
waiver be in writing signed by Sublandlord. No payment by Subtenant or receipt
by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the Minimum Rent or Additional Rent then
due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated Minimum Rent or Additional Rent then due, nor shall any endorsement
or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublandlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Sublandlord's right to recover the balance of such
Minimum Rent or Additional Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this
Sublease, at law, or in equity. No act or thing done by Sublandlord or
Sublandlord's agents during the Sublease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the Sublease Premises and no agreement to accept such surrender
shall be valid unless in writing signed by Sublandlord. No employee of
Sublandlord or Sublandlord's agent shall have any power to accept the keys to
the Sublease Premises prior to the termination of this Sublease, and the
delivery of keys to any such agent or employee shall not operate as a
termination of this Sublease or a surrender of the Sublease Premises.

                  17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND COUNTER CLAIMS. IT IS AGREED BY
SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT THAT THEY SHALL AND HEREBY DO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE
OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH,
THIS SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT, OR SUBTENANT'S USE
OR OCCUPANCY OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. SUBTENANT SHALL NOT INTERPOSE ANY
COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUMMARY PROCEEDING OR OTHER ACTION BROUGHT BY SUBLANDLORD
HEREUNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM.



                                      (18)
<PAGE>   21

                  18. "As Is" Condition. Subtenant expressly acknowledges and
agrees that Sublandlord has not made and is not making, and Subtenant, in
executing and delivering this Sublease, is not relying upon, any warranties,
representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are
expressly set forth in this Sublease. It is understood and agreed that all
understandings and agreements heretofore between the parties are merged in this
Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreements and that
the same is entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon
any statement or representation not embodied in the Sublease, made by the other.
Sublandlord is not required to perform work of any kind, nature or description
to prepare the Sublease Premises for Subtenant's occupancy.

                  19. At End of Term. Upon the expiration or sooner termination
of the term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall vacate and surrender the Sublease
Premises in broom-clean condition, restore the Sublease Premises as may be
required under the provisions of Section 20 hereof and repair any damage to the
Sublease Premises caused by any permitted removal therefrom.

                  20. Alterations. Subtenant shall not make, or cause to be
made, any alterations, repairs, additions or improvements in or to the Sublease
Premises except with the prior written consent thereto by Sublandlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, subject to the
receipt of all required governmental approvals, permits, licenses and the like
and any other required consents, Subtenant may make alterations, repairs,
additions, improvements in or to the Sublease Premises provided same are
non-structural in nature, do not affect (x) the outside of the Sublease Premises
or (y) its structure, do not cost more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)
(other than in the case of the initial alterations to prepare the Sublease
Premises for Subtenant's initial occupancy thereof, which initial alterations
are more particularly described in Exhibit D) and do not (actually or
potentially) result in any additional obligations to Sublandlord. In the event
Sublandlord grants such consent or Subtenant is otherwise entitled to make such
alterations, repairs, additions or improvements, such alterations, repairs,
additions or improvements shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner,
in accordance with all applicable legal and insurance requirements. Subtenant
shall not make any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements or perform
any work to or on the Sublease Premises, unless prior to the commencement of
such work, Subtenant shall obtain or cause to be obtained (and during the
performance of such work keep in force or cause to be kept in force) public
liability and workmen's compensation insurance to cover every contractor to be
employed. Such policy shall name Sublandlord and Subtenant as additional
insureds, shall be non-cancelable without ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Sublandlord and shall be in amounts and with companies satisfactory to
Sublandlord. Prior to commencement of such work, Subtenant shall deliver (or
cause to be delivered) certificates of such insurance policies to Sublandlord.
All repairs, alterations, additions and improvements made by Subtenant to the
Sublease Premises (or any portion thereof) shall be deemed to be attached to the
leasehold and to have become the property of Sublandlord upon such attachment,
and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall
not remove 



                                      (19)
<PAGE>   22

any such alterations, additions or improvements; provided, that signs, trade
fixtures and portable office equipment installed by Subtenant may be removed;
provided further, however, that Sublandlord may designate by written notice to
Subtenant those alterations, decorations, additions and improvements which were
installed by Subtenant and shall be removed by Subtenant at the expiration or
termination of this Sublease, in which event Subtenant shall promptly remove the
same. Provided Subtenant fully and faithfully performs its obligations hereunder
and the Term is not terminated prior to the expiration of the term of the
Overlease, Sublandlord shall not require Subtenant to remove any alteration
except as may be required of Sublandlord by Overlandlord pursuant to the
Overlease. Subtenant shall repair any damage to the Sublease Premises caused by
any required or permitted removal. Subject to Subtenant delivering to
Sublandlord evidence reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord that Subtenant has
obtained all applicable governmental approvals, permits, licenses and the like
and any required consent of Overlandlord under the Overlease and all of the same
are in full force and effect, Sublandlord hereby approves the installation of
Subtenant's signs in the design and at the locations on the exterior of the
Sublease Premises shown on Exhibit D; provided such signs are installed in a
manner hereafter reasonably approved by Sublandlord. Nothing in this Section 20
shall be construed to permit Subtenant to make any repairs, alterations,
decorations, additions or improvements without first fully complying with the
terms of the Overlease relating thereto.

                  21.      Defaults and Remedies.

                  (a) Supplementing the applicable provisions of the Original
Lease as incorporated herein, if any one of the following events (sometimes
called "Default") shall happen:

                    (i) If the Minimum Rent or Additional Rent or any part
         thereof or any other charges payable by Subtenant under this Sublease
         or any guarantor under its guarantee is not paid when and as the same
         are due and payable and shall remain unpaid for a period of five (5)
         business days after notice;

                   (ii) If any of Subtenant's covenants, agreements, obligations
         or conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof are not performed or
         complied with in any material respect within twenty-four (24) hours
         after written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant of same or if any
         breach of the terms of this Sublease shall result in a default on the
         part of Sublandlord under the Overlease and Subtenant does not cause
         such breach of Sublandlord to be cured no later than five (5) business
         days prior to the expiration of any cure period under the Overlease;

                  (iii) If any other covenant, agreement, obligation, or
         condition of Subtenant under this Sublease (or as guarantor under its
         guarantee) shall not be performed or complied with by Subtenant (or
         guarantor) within fifteen (15) days after written notice of the same
         from Sublandlord to Subtenant; provided, however, that if such default
         is susceptible to cure but cannot be cured within such 



                                      (20)
<PAGE>   23

         fifteen (15) day period, Subtenant shall have such additional time as
         is reasonably necessary to cure such default provided that Subtenant
         shall have commenced to cure such default within said fifteen (15) day
         period, is at all times diligently prosecuting the cure of said default
         and Subtenant shall have notified Sublandlord that it has commenced and
         is diligently prosecuting such cure;

                   (iv) If Sublandlord shall give to Subtenant within any period
         of twelve (12) consecutive months during the Term, four (4) notices of
         default of the Subtenant's performance of its covenants, agreements,
         obligations or conditions under this Sublease pertaining to the payment
         of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum or any other material
         obligation of Subtenant under this Sublease;

                    (v) If the Subtenant or guarantor (if any) shall, file a
         voluntary petition in bankruptcy, make an assignment for the benefit of
         creditors, shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, shall file any
         petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
         composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief
         under the present or any future bankruptcy act or laws of similar
         import, or shall seek to consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of
         any bankruptcy or insolvency trustee, receiver or liquidator of
         Subtenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the
         Sublease Premises, or if any petition in bankruptcy is filed against
         Subtenant or guarantor and if such petition shall not be discharged or
         dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof;

                   (vi)    If Subtenant shall abandon the Sublease Premises;

                  (vii) If Subtenant's interest in this Sublease be taken on
         execution or other process of law in any action against Subtenant,
         then, and in each such event, Sublandlord at any time thereafter may,
         at the Sublandlord's option, re-enter the Sublease premises or
         terminate this Sublease, without further demand or notice to Subtenant.
         In the event of such re-entry or termination, all of the right, title
         and interest of Subtenant under this Sublease, including any renewal or
         extension privileges, shall end. Subtenant's liability under all of the
         provisions of this Sublease shall continue notwithstanding any
         re-entry, termination or surrender, and notwithstanding the
         Sublandlord's pursuit of any other remedy under this Sublease. If this
         Sublease shall be so terminated or if Sublandlord shall so re-enter the
         Sublease Premises, Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's option, may relet the
         whole or any part or parts of the Sublease Premises from time to time,
         either in the name of Sublandlord or otherwise, to such subtenant or
         subtenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the date
         on which the Sublease Term was scheduled to expire, at such rental or
         rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions
         and free rent periods, as Sublandlord, in its sole discretion, may
         determine; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall have no obligation
         to relet the Sublease Premises or any part thereof and shall in no
         event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Sublease Premises
         or any part thereof,



                                      (21)
<PAGE>   24

         or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to
         collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or
         failure shall operate to relieve Subtenant of any liability under this
         Sublease or otherwise affect any such liability, and Sublandlord, at
         Sublandlord's option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations,
         additions, improvements, decorations and other physical changes in and
         to the Sublease Premises as Sublandlord, in its sole discretion,
         considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting
         or proposed reletting, without relieving Subtenant of any liability
         under this Sublease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
         Subtenant hereby waives the service of any notice of intention to
         re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end which may
         otherwise be required to be given under any present or future law but
         not service of process. Subtenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of
         all persons claiming through or under Subtenant, including all
         creditors, does further hereby waive any and all rights which Subtenant
         and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future
         law to redeem the Sublease Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the
         Sublease Premises, or to restore the operation of this Sublease, after
         (x) Subtenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant
         of any court or judge, or (y) any re-entry by Sublandlord, or (z) any
         expiration or termination of this Sublease and the Sublease Term,
         whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be
         by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease. The
         words "re-enter," "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Sublease
         shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.

                  (b) Upon such re-entry or termination, Sublandlord may recover
possession of the Sublease Premises by summary proceedings, by force, by any
suitable action or proceeding at law, or otherwise. Sublandlord may also enter
and re-enter the Sublease Premises at any time after such re-entry of
termination of the Lease and remove all persons and property from the Sublease
Premises without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss
or damage which may be occasioned thereby and may have, hold and enjoy the
Sublease Premises.

                  (c) (i) If Sublandlord shall re-enter the Sublease Premises or
if this Sublease is terminated pursuant to this Section 21, Subtenant shall pay
to Sublandlord (in addition to all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges due and payable by Subtenant on the date of such re-entry or
termination), as current damages for Subtenant's default, the equivalent of the
amount of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges Subtenant would
have been required to pay until the date this Sublease would have expired had
such termination not occurred, minus the proceeds of any reletting.

                  (ii) Subtenant shall pay such current damages ("Deficiency
         Damages") to Sublandlord monthly on the days on which rent would have
         been payable under this Sublease if this Sublease were still in effect,
         and Sublandlord shall be entitled to recover each month from Subtenant
         Deficiency Damages as the same shall arise.

<PAGE>   25

                  (d) If Sublandlord re-enters the Sublease Premises or if this
Sublease is terminated pursuant to this Section 21, and if Sublandlord so
elects, Subtenant shall pay in addition to all Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and
all other charges due and payable by Subtenant on the date of such termination,
"Liquidated Final Damages." As used in this Sublease, "Liquidated Final Damages"
means an amount equivalent to the present value of (x) the Minimum Rent,
Additional Rent and other charges which would have been payable by Subtenant
from the date of such election to the date this Sublease would have expired had
it not been so terminated, minus (y) the fair and reasonable rental value of the
Sublease Premises for the same period. Said present value shall be calculated by
using a discount rate equal to the then Federal Reserve Discount Rate. Said
Liquidated Final Damages shall become due and payable to Sublandlord immediately
upon Sublandlord's notice of such election to Subtenant.

                  (e) In the event of a Default, Subtenant shall indemnify
Sublandlord for all of Sublandlord's expenses incurred or paid in connection
with repossessing or reletting the Sublease Premises, including without
limitation, the costs of removing and storing the property of Subtenant or of
any other occupant; the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise
putting the Sublease Premises into condition acceptable to a new subtenant or
subtenants, brokerage and management fees, operating and security expenses of
the Sublease Premises, and reasonable attorneys' fees and the value of legal
services which Sublandlord shall render to itself at its then standard rates and
on it then standard terms.

                  (f) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by
Subtenant of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in
this Sublease, Sublandlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened
breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise even if not specifically provided for in
this Sublease.

                  (g) The rights and remedies of Sublandlord set forth herein
shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now or hereafter provided by
law. All rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each
other. Sublandlord may exercise its rights and remedies at any time, in any
order, to any extent, and as often as Sublandlord deems advisable without regard
to whether the exercise of one right or remedy, precedes, concurs with or
succeeds the exercise of another.

                  (h) A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall
not preclude a further exercise thereof, or the exercise of another right or
remedy from time to time.

                  (i) No delay or omission by Sublandlord in exercising a right
or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or
acquiescence to, a Default.



                                      (23)
<PAGE>   26

                  (j) No waiver of a Default shall extend to or affect any other
Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

                  (k) No action or inaction by Sublandlord shall constitute a
waiver of a Default.

                  (l) No waiver of a Default shall be effective, unless it is in
writing and signed by both Sublandlord and Subtenant.

                  22. Holding Over. If Subtenant shall hold possession of the
Sublease Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of
this Sublease, then if Sublandlord so desires, Subtenant shall be deemed to be
occupying the Sublease Premises as a Subtenant from month-to-month, at 150% of
the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent prescribed herein in effect during the
lease year immediately preceding such holdover period prorated to a monthly
basis and subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of
this Sublease insofar as the same are applicable, or as the same shall be
adjusted, to a month-to-month tenancy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay twice for the use and
occupancy of the Sublease Premises after the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term, once to Sublandlord and once to Overlandlord.

                  23. No Privity of Estate. Nothing contained in this Sublease
shall be construed to create privity of estate or of contract between Subtenant
and the lessor under the Overlease.

                  24. Consents and Approvals. If any instance when Sublandlord's
consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublandlord's refusal to
consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, inter
alia, such consent or approval has not been obtained from the lessor under the
Overlease. In the event that Subtenant shall seek the approval by or consent of
Sublandlord and Sublandlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent or
approval, Sublessee shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or
delay of such approval or consent by Sublandlord, it being intended that
Subtenant's sole remedy shall be an action for injunction or specific
performance.

                  25. Inspection of and Access to the Sublease Premises.
Sublandlord hereby reserves to itself the right to enter onto the Sublease
Premises in cases of emergency and otherwise at any reasonable time and on
reasonable notice to ascertain whether Subtenant is in compliance with the
provisions of this Sublease.

                  26.  Environmental Compliance.

                  (a) Subject to the terms of Section 4(f), during the Sublease
Term or during the occupancy of Subtenant hereunder, Subtenant shall not cause
or allow any hazardous waste, toxic substances, or toxic hazardous materials
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials") to be present, used, generated, stored, or
disposed of on, under or about, or 



                                      (24)
<PAGE>   27

transported to or from, the Sublease Premises (collectively, "Hazardous
Materials Activities") except in strict compliance with all applicable
Regulations (as hereinafter defined) and using all necessary and appropriate
precautions.

                  (b) Subject to the terms of Section 4(f), Subtenant hereby
indemnifies and holds harmless Sublandlord from any liability, including
reasonable counsel fees and litigation costs, with respect to any Hazardous
Materials Activities conducted on or about the Sublease Premises during the
Sublease Term or while Subtenant is in occupancy of any part of the Sublease
Premises whether or not consented to by Sublandlord or Overlandlord. Subtenant
shall indemnify, defend with counsel, and hold Sublessor harmless from and
against any claims, damages, costs and liabilities arising out of any and all
such Hazardous Materials Activities.

                  (c) For purposes hereof, Hazardous Materials shall include but
not be limited to substances defined as "hazardous substances", "toxic
substances", or "hazardous wastes" in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
of 1976 ("RCRA"); Hazardous Materials Transportation Act; all other laws and
ordinances governing similar matters; and any regulations adopted and
publications promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, "Regulations"), as they
may be amended from time to time.

                  (d) Subtenant shall immediately notify Sublandlord both by
telephone and in writing of any spill or unauthorized discharge of Hazardous
Materials or of any condition constituting an "imminent hazard" under RCRA.

                  27.      Miscellaneous.

                  (a) This Sublease is made in the state where the Sublease
Premises are located and shall be governed by and construed under the laws
thereof. This Sublease supersedes any and all other or prior understandings,
agreements, covenants, promises, representations or warranties of or between the
parties (which are fully merged herein). The headings in this Sublease are for
purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.

                  (b) Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord on each of July
1, 1998, October 1, 1998, January 1, 1999 and April 1, 1999 an amount equal to
one-quarter (1/4) of the then monthly installment of Minimum Rent (without
regard to Section 2(b) above) as security for the faithful performance and
observance by Subtenant of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of
this Sublease, including, without limitation, the surrender of possession of the
Sublease Premises to Sublandlord as herein provided. Amounts so deposited shall
(i) be held in trust by Sublandlord, (ii) deposited into a separate account and
(iii) not be commingled with the other funds of Sublandlord. The interest earned
on such deposited sums shall be for the benefit of Sublandlord. If a default
beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, shall occur and be
continuing, Sublandlord may apply the whole or any part of the amounts so
deposited (i) toward the 



                                      (25)
<PAGE>   28

payment of any Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of rental as to
which Subtenant is in default, (ii) toward any sum which Sublandlord may expend
or be required to expend by reason of Subtenant's default in respect of any of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, including, without
limitation, any damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred or suffered by
Sublandlord, and (iii) toward any damage or deficiency incurred or suffered by
Sublandlord in the reletting of the Sublease Premises, whether such damages or
deficiency accrue or accrues before or after summary proceedings or other
re-entry by Sublandlord. If Sublandlord applies or retains any part of the
amounts so deposited Subtenant, upon demand, shall deposit with Sublandlord the
amount so applied or retained. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully comply
with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Sublease,
the amounts so deposited shall be returned to Subtenant after delivery of
possession of the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord at the end of the Term.
Sublandlord shall have the right to transfer the amounts so deposited to any
assignee of Sublandlord's interest hereunder and Sublandlord shall thereupon be
released by Subtenant from all liability for the return of such amounts.
Subtenant shall look solely to the new Sublandlord for the return of thereof.
The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment. Subtenant
shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies
deposited herein as security (other than as part of a general assignment or
pledge of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subtenant) and neither
Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment,
encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance whether or not
permitted.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subtenant
shall have the right to terminate this Sublease on notice given not later than
October 5, 1997 if before that date (i) Overlandlord has not offered to enter
into a so-called recognition agreement with Subtenant pursuant to which (x)
Overlandlord agrees to recognize Subtenant's tenancy of the Sublease Premises in
the event of the termination of the Overlease and (y) Subtenant shall attorn to
Overlandlord in the event of the termination of the Overlease and (ii) Subtenant
does not receive and estoppel certificate from the lessee under the Existing
Sub-Sublease acceptable to Subtenant. Such recognition agreement shall be on
terms satisfactory to Overlandlord and Subtenant. If this Sublease is terminated
pursuant to this Section 27(c), Sublandlord shall refund any prepaid rent to
Subtenant.

         (d) In the event of a dispute between Sublandlord and Subtenant with
respect to the reasonableness of Sublandlord's decision to refuse to consent or
approve a matter which Sublandlord has expressly agreed herein not to reasonably
withhold its consent and approval, such dispute shall be settled and finally
determined by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the
"expedited arbitration" procedures of the commercial arbitration rules then in
effect of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), or its successors,
the arbitrator shall be a person having at least ten (10) years experience as to
the subject matter in questions. If at the time such arbitration is to be held,
the AAA is not in existence and has no successor, the arbitrator shall be
appointed 



                                      (26)
<PAGE>   29

by the chief or senior judge of the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts, upon application of Subtenant. After being duly
appointed, the arbitrator shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to
determine the question submitted. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter,
modify or amend the terms of this Sublease, but shall enforce the terms hereof
as written. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and in duplicate,
one counterpart thereof to be delivered to each of the parties. In the event the
arbitrators determine that Sublandlord unreasonably withheld its consent in
violation of the terms of this Sublease, then, as the sole remedy of Subtenant
(so long as Sublandlord has acted in good faith), Sublandlord shall be deemed to
have given its consent as of the date of the arbitrator's determination. Any
award of the arbitrators shall be limited to a determination as to whether
Sublandlord acted reasonably in withholding any such consent. The costs of such
arbitration (including all reasonable attorney's fees) shall be shared equally
by the parties hereto, unless differently allocated in the arbitration award.

         (e) Provided this Sublease is in full force and effect, after November
6, 1997, Subtenant shall be entitled to record a notice hereof in the
appropriate land records.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sublandlord and Subtenant have duly
executed this Sublease as of the day and year first written above.

                              Sublandlord:
