IBM BUSINESS PARTNER AGREEMENT

REMARKETER GENERAL TERMS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DEFINITIONS

AGGREGATOR is our remarketer who we authorize to acquire Products from us
to supply to its Customers who are also our remarketers. In addition, we
may authorize a remarketer to supply our Products to others (for example,
our industry remarketers). An "Aggregator" is responsible for ordering,
delivery, invoicing, payment, taxes, price reductions and inventory
adjustments. In your Profile, we specify 1) the identity of your
"Aggregator," if any, or 2) if we approve you as an "Aggregator."

AUTHORIZED LOCATION is a site, controlled and operated by you, at which we
authorize you to perform your responsibilities under this Agreement. We
may specify in your Profile certain requirements to which you must adhere
at each Authorized Location (such as, minimum renewal criteria and minimum
number of trained personnel).

CUSTOMER is either an End User, or a reseller who does not market to other
resellers We specify in your Profile if we authorize you to provide
Products to End Users, resellers, or both.

CUSTOMER-SET-UP MACHINE is an IBM Machine that you (or your Customer) set
up according to our instructions.

END USER is anyone, unaffiliated with you (except if you are a qualified
educational institution), who acquires Products for its own use and not for
resale.

MACHINE is an IBM or non-IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades,
elements, accessories, cables, or any combination of them (provided by us
or your Aggregator) that we approve you to provide to your Customers.

PRODUCT is a Machine, Program, or Service.

PROGRAM is an IBM or non-IBM licensed program (provided by us or your
Aggregator) that we approve you to provide to your Customers. The term
"Program" does not include Licensed Internal Code.

SERVICE is assistance (for example, Product maintenance) that we approve
you to perform or market. The term "Service" includes use of a resource
(such as a network) that we approve you to provide to your Customers.

2 of 21

2. AGREEMENT STRUCTURE

The Remarketer General Terms apply to all our remarketers.

PROFILES

We specify the details of our relationship (for example, the type of
remarketer you are) in a document called a "Profile." Each of us agrees to
the terms of the Profile, the Remarketer General Terms, and the applicable
Attachments referred to in the Profile, (collectively called the
"Agreement"), by signing the Profile.

ATTACHMENTS

We describe additional terms that apply to our relationship in documents
called "Attachments." For example, we describe the additional terms that
apply specifically to dealers in an Attachment. Several Attachments may
apply to you. We specify in your Profile the Attachments that apply.

TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

We will provide to you the appropriate "Transaction Documents" that confirm
the details of your order or provide additional information about our
relationship. The following are examples of Transaction Documents with
examples of the information they may contain:

1. invoices (item, quantity, price, and amount due);

2. addenda (trial period and trial Products); and

3. exhibits (eligible Products, warranty information, and other Product-
specific information). We may change the terms of an exhibit on
written notice.

CONFLICTING TERMS

If there is a conflict among the terms in the various documents, those of
an Attachment prevail over those of the Remarketer General Terms. The
terms of a Profile prevail over those of both of these documents. The
terms of a Transaction Document prevail over those of all the documents.

OUR ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

A Product becomes subject to this Agreement when we accept your order by

1. sending you a Transaction Document; or

3 of 21

2. providing the Product to you.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS IN A TRANSACTION DOCUMENT

You accept the terms in a Transaction Document by doing any of the
following:

1. signing it;

2. accepting the Product described in the Transaction Document;

3. providing the Product to your Customer; or

4. making any payment for the Product.

3. OUR RELATIONSHIP

MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Each of us agrees that under this Agreement:

1. the Products we approve you to market are complex in nature and require
that you provide high quality support, both before and after the sale,
to ensure Customer satisfaction;

2. we offer a money-back guarantee to End Users for certain Products. You
agree to inform the Customer of the terms of this guarantee before the
applicable sale. For any such Product, you agree to 1) accept its
return within the time frame we specify, 2) refund the full amount paid
to you for it, and 3) dispose of it (including all its components) as
we specify. We will pay transportation charges for return of the
Product to us and will give you an appropriate credit;

3. you are an independent contractor. Neither of us is a legal
representative or agent of the other. Neither of us is legally a
partner of the other (for example, neither of us is responsible for
debts incurred by the other), and you are not our employee or
franchisee;

4. each is free to enter into similar agreements with others, to market
competitive Products, and to conduct its business in whatever way it
chooses, provided there is no conflict with this Agreement. We may
increase or decrease the number of our remarketers, the types of
distribution channels, and the number of participants in such channels;

5. each is free to establish its own prices and terms and neither of us
will discuss its customer prices and terms in the presence of the
other;

4 of 21

6. all information exchanged is nonconfidential. If either of us requires
the exchange of confidential information, it will be made under a
signed confidentiality agreement;

7. we will provide you with access to our information systems only in
support of your authorized marketing activities. Programs associated
with these systems are subject to the terms of their applicable license
agreements, except that you may not transfer them;

8. neither of us will bring a legal action against the other more than two
years after the cause of action arose; and

9. you may acquire an insignificant number of Products for your own
internal use.

YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree not to do any of the following:

1. assign, or otherwise transfer, this Agreement or your rights under it,
delegate your obligations, or appoint another reseller (including a
related company) - or agent to represent you or to market our Products,
without our prior written consent. Any attempt to do so is void;

2. assume or create any obligations on our behalf, or make any
representations or warranties about us or our Products, other than
those we authorize; or

3. conduct your business in a way (for example, failure to maintain the
highest quality professionalism in all your dealings with Customers)
that adversely affects our reputation or goodwill.

You agree to:

1. sell only to End Users, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement,

2. be responsible for Customer satisfaction with our Products and all your
related activities, and participate in Customer-satisfaction programs
as we determine. For example, if we request, you agree to provide us
with the names and addresses of all End Users who have acquired our
Products from you;

3. actively and diligently promote our Products;

4. ensure that your compensation or incentive plans for your employees who
market our Products are not unfair to us in comparison with your plans
for competitive products you market;

5 of 21

5. meet, during the contract period, any minimum renewal criteria
specified in your Profile. These criteria are a measurement of the
performance expected of you (such as sales);

6. maintain trained personnel and comply with any certification
requirements;

7. provide us with relevant financial information about your business
enterprise on request;

8. furnish sales receipts to your Customers before or upon delivery of
Products. You agree to specify on the sales receipt your Customer's
name and address, the Machine type/model and serial number, installed
location, date of sale, any non-IBM alterations or attachments made,
and the Warranty Service provider;

9. provide us with any Customer documents we require, within 10 days of
the applicable transaction (for example, End User signing of our
license or maintenance agreement);

10. provide us with sales and inventory information for our Products on
request;

11. retain records by location of each Product transaction (for example, a
sale or credit) for five years and of each warranty claim for three
years. Records must include (as applicable) Machine type/model and
serial number, Authorized Location to which distributed, and Customer
name and address;

12. assist us in tracing and locating Products;

13. provide us with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities,
at a mutually-convenient time, for us to fulfill our obligations. If
you become aware of any unsafe conditions or hazardous materials to
which our personnel would be exposed at any of your facilities, you
agree to notify us promptly; and

14. comply with all laws and regulations (such as those governing consumer
transactions).

OUR REVIEW OF YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT

We may periodically review your performance under this Agreement. You
agree to provide us with relevant records on request. We have the right to
reproduce them, retain the copies, and audit your compliance with this
Agreement on your premises during your normal business hours. We may use
an independent auditor for this.

6 of 21

4. MARKETING FUNDS AND PROMOTIONAL OFFERINGS

You agree to use any marketing funds and promotional offerings according to
our guidelines. For Products you provide to resellers, you agree to
administer and disburse these funds or offerings in a proportional and
equitable manner. You also agree to keep records of such funds or
offerings for three years.

We may withhold or recover marketing funds and promotional offerings if you
breach any of the terms of this Agreement. Upon notice of termination, any
marketing funds and promotional offerings will no longer be available for
use by, or accrual to, you.

5. STATUS CHANGE

You agree to give us prompt written notice (unless precluded by law or
regulation) of any change, or anticipated change, in your financial
condition, business structure, or operating environment (for example, a
material change in equity ownership or management, closing or relocation of
an Authorized Location, or any change to information supplied in your
application). Such change or failure to give notice may result in
termination of this Agreement.

6. EXPORT OF PRODUCTS

You are not authorized to actively market Products outside the geographic
scope of this Agreement, and you agree not to use anyone else to do so.

If a Customer acquires a Product for export, our responsibilities under
this Agreement no longer apply to that Product. You agree to use your best
efforts to ensure that your Customer complies with United States export
laws and regulations, and any import requirements of the destination
country. Before the sale of a Product, you agree to prepare a support plan
for it and obtain your Customer's agreement to that plan. Within one month
of sale, you agree to provide us with the Customer's name and address,
Machine type/model and serial number, date of sale, and destination
country.

We exclude these Products from:

1. attainment of your minimum renewal criteria;

2. attainment of your committed quantities:

3. qualification for applicable promotional offerings and marketing funds;
and

4. qualification for any lower prices.

7 of 21

We may also reduce future supply allocations to you by the number of
exported Products.

The license agreement of certain Programs state the country in which the
license is valid. Such Programs may not be exported.

7. FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

To comply with Federal law, you agree not to employ or compensate any
individuals to perform activities under this Agreement (without our prior
written approval) who were, within the last two years:

1. members of the armed forces in a pay grade of 0-4 or higher; or

2. civilians employed by the Department of Defense with a pay rate equal
to, or greater than, the minimum rate for a grade GS-13.

You agree to provide us with any information that we need to comply with
this law.

8. ORDERING AND DELIVERY

You may order Products either from us or your Aggregator. We accept orders
for withdrawn Products subject to their availability.

On our request, you agree to make reasonable efforts to use our automated
order-entry system. You agree to pay all expenses associated with it.

We will mutually agree to a location to which we ship Products. We will
use reasonable efforts to meet your requested delivery dates for Products
you order from us. We select the method of transportation and pay
associated charges for Products we ship.

You agree to notify us within 20 days of receipt, of any discrepancies
between our shipping manifest and the Products received from us. We will
work with you to reconcile any differences.

CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER

You may cancel an order for a Product before we ship it. We may charge you
a cancellation charge. We determine this charge by multiplying the amount
we charge you for the Product by the cancellation-charge percent. We will
inform you in writing of that percent. The cancellation charge does not

8 of 21

apply to a Product if 1) we postpone its shipment for more than 15 days
from its estimated shipment date and 2) you cancel your order before
shipment.

We may not be able to honor a cancellation request received less than 10
business days before the Product's estimated shipment date. If you return
such Product, our inventory-adjustment terms apply.

DELAYED SHIPMENT OF A PRODUCT

Circumstances may arise where we delay the shipment of a Product due to our
inability to meet the original estimated shipment date. If this delay
causes the estimated shipment date to be after the end of your contract
period, the terms of this Agreement apply to that Product. It will be
treated as if you had acquired it during the contract period.

9. INVENTORY ADJUSTMENTS

For purposes of rebalancing your inventory, we will inform you in writing
which Products you may return to us for credit, their inventory-adjustment
categories, and any terms associated with these categories. We will issue
a credit to you when we accept the returned Product. You may use the
credit only after we issue it.

We may charge you a handling charge for returned Products. We determine
this charge by multiplying the inventory-adjustment credit amount for the
Product by the handling-charge percent. We will inform you n writing of
that percent. You agree to pay shipping charges for Products you return.
They must be in our original, undamaged packages (unopened for Machines),
and without any non-IBM labels.

Certain Products may be acquired only as Machines and Programs packaged
together as a solution. These Products must be returned with all their
components intact. However, we do not require the shipping container to be
unopened for some of these Products (for example, Selected Academic
Solutions), as we determine.

Returned Products must be unused and in new condition. You agree to ensure
that the Products are free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent their return. We accept them only from locations to which we ship
Products.

We will reject any returned Product that does not comply with these terms
and send it back to you at your expense.

9 of 21

10. PRICES AND PRICE CHANGES

We will specify the prices for each Product and inform you of any changes.
Price increases do not apply to you if we receive your order before the
effective date of the increase. You receive the benefit of a price
decrease for Products we ship on or after the effective date.

PRICE-REDUCTION CREDITS

If we decrease the price for a Product, you may be eligible to receive a
price-reduction credit for eligible Products in your inventory. We will
specify the Product's price-reduction credit category and associated terms
in writing, and will inform you periodically of any changes. You may use
the credit only after we issue it.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Depending on the circumstances, additional charges may apply. For example,
if we perform a Service for you, we charge an additional amount. We will
notify you in advance if these charges apply.

FEE PAYMENTS

When you perform certain activities, such as those we may specify in
exhibits, we will pay you a fee.

11. INVOICING, PAYMENT, AND TAXES

Payment in full is due upon receipt of our invoice. You agree to pay as we
specify in the invoice. We may offset any amounts due you, or designated
for your use (for example, marketing funds or promotional offerings),
against amounts due us or any of our subsidiaries.

You agree to pay amounts equal to any applicable taxes resulting from any
transaction under this Agreement. This does not include taxes based on our
net income. You are responsible for personal property taxes for each
Product from the date we ship it to you or the End User.

You agree to provide us with valid reseller-exemption documentation for
each applicable taxing jurisdiction to which we ship Products. Otherwise,
we will charge you all applicable state and local taxes or duties. You

10 of 21

agree to notify us promptly if this documentation is revoked or modified.
You are liable for any claims or assessments that result from any taxing
jurisdiction refusing to recognize your exemption.

FAILURE TO PAY ANY AMOUNTS DUE

If your account becomes delinquent, you agree that we may do one or more of
the following:

1. impose a finance charge, up to the maximum permitted by law, on the
delinquent portion of the balance due;

2. require cash payment on or before delivery of any Products;

3. repossess any Products. If we do so, you agree to pay all expenses
associated with repossession and collection, including reasonable
attorney's fees. You agree to make the Products available to us at a
site that is mutually convenient;

4. terminate this Agreement; or

5. pursue any other remedy available at law.

In addition, if your account with any of our subsidiaries becomes
delinquent, we may invoke any of these options allowable by law.

12. TITLE

As an Aggregator, when you order a Machine from us, we do not transfer
title to you. As any other remarketer, when you order a Machine, we
transfer title to you when the Machine is shipped by us or your Aggregator.

Any prior transfer of title to a Machine to you is void from its inception
when 1) it is accepted as a returned Machine, or 2) the End User finances
it through the IBM Credit Corporation.

We do not transfer title to Programs.

PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST

We reserve a purchase money security interest in a Machine, and you grant
us a purchase money security interest in your proceeds from the sale of,
and your accounts receivable for a Product, until we receive the amounts
due for a feature, conversion, or upgrade involving the removal of parts
that become our property, we reserve the security interest until we receive

11 of 21

the amounts due and the removed parts. You agree to sign an appropriate
document (for example, a "UCC-1") to permit us to perfect our purchase
money security interest.

END USER LEASE FINANCING

If an End User obtains a lease for a Machine for legitimate financing
purposes, you may transfer title to the Machine to the lessor. You may
finance End Users' Product acquisitions.

13. RISK OF LOSS

We bear the risk of loss for a Product until its initial delivery from us.

14. ENGINEERING CHANGES

You agree to allow us to install at a mutually-convenient location
mandatory engineering changes (such as those required for safety) on all
Machines in your inventory and to use your best efforts to enable us to
install such engineering changes on your Customers' Machines. Mandatory
engineering changes are installed at our expense and any removed parts
become our property.

During the warranty period, we manage and install engineering changes at:

1. your or your Customers' locations for Machines for which we provide
Warranty Service; and

2. your location for other Machines. Alternatively, we will provide you
with the parts (at no charge) and instructions to do the installation
yourself. We will reimburse you for your labor at a rate we specify.

15. LICENSED INTERNAL CODE

Certain Machines we specify (called "Specific Machines" use Licensed
Internal Code (called "Code"). The IBM Corporation owns copyrights in Code
and owns all copies of Code, including all copies made from them.

We will identify each Specific Machine in writing. We grant the rightful
possessor of a Specific Machine a license to use the Code (or any
replacement we provide) on or in conjunction with, only the Specific
Machine designated by serial number, for which the Code is provided. We
license the Code to only one rightful possessor at a time. You agree that
you are bound by the terms of the separate license agreement that we will
provide to you.

12 of 21

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree to inform your Customer, and record on the sales receipt, that
the Machine you provide is a Specific Machine using Licensed Internal Code.
You agree to 1) provide the applicable license agreement to your Customer
before the sale and 2) ensure that the agreement is signed before a sale to
an End User.

16. PROGRAMS

For certain Programs, we require End Users to sign our license agreements.
You agree to ensure those signatures are obtained and the appropriate
supplements are issued before those Programs are provided. All other
Programs (called "Program Packages") are licensed under the terms of the
agreements provided with them.

When you make authorized copies of Programs, you agree to reproduce the
copyright notice and any other legend of ownership on the copies. When we
provide you with service materials for Programs, you agree to copy and
distribute those materials to End Users.

You agree to refund the amount paid for

1. an IBM Program Package returned to you because the End User does not
accept the terms of the license (for example, by not opening the media
envelope or not using the Program). However, if such Program is
packaged together with other Programs or Machines as a solution, all
components must be returned. In this case, you agree to refund the
amount paid for all the components; and

2. any defective IBM Program returned to you under the terms of its
warranty.

In either case, you may return the IBM Product to us, at our expense, for
credit.

17. INSTALLATION AND WARRANTY

For a Machine to function properly, it must be installed in a suitable
physical environment. For a Machine we install, we will ensure that it is
in good working order and meets the criteria specified in its Official
Published Specifications before we consider it installed. We provide
instructions to enable the setup of Customer-set-up Machines. We are not
responsible for the installation of Programs or non-IBM Machines.

With each IBM Machine we ship, we include a copy of our statement of
limited warranty. We will provide a copy to you. You agree to make it

13 of 21

available to the End User for review before the sale. We provide non-IBM
Products on an "AS IS" basis. However, non-IBM manufacturers, suppliers, or
publishers may provide their own warranties to you.

DATE OF INSTALLATION

We calculate the expiration of an IBM Machine's warranty period from the
Machine's Date of installation.

The Date of Installation for a Machine we are responsible for installing is
the business day after the day 1) we install it or 2) we make it available
for installation, if you (or the End User) defer installation. Otherwise
(for example, if others install it or break its warranty seal), it is the
day we deliver the Machine to you (or the End User).

The Date of Installation for a Customer-set-up Machine:

1. that we ship to the End User (or to you for your own use), is the fifth
business day after the day the Machine is received;

2. that you ship, is the earlier of 1) the second business day after the
End User receives the Machine or 2) the day you or your Customer place
the Machine in use: or

3. is the same as the Date of Installation for a Machine that we install,
if the Customer-set-up Machine is being installed with, and attached
to, it.

If we authorize you to install Programs on a Machine at an Authorized
Location (and therefore you set up the Machine), we do not consider this as
the Date of Installation, as long as you promptly ship the Machine to the
End User.

You (or your Customer, if other than an End User) must record the Machine's
Date of Installation on the End User's sales receipt. You must also notify
us upon our request.

18. WARRANTY SERVICE

We will inform you in writing who is responsible for providing Warranty
Service for Machines. We do so by specifying the Warranty Service category
for each Machine.

WHEN WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SERVICING MACHINES

14 of 21

When we are responsible for providing Warranty Service, we do so for the
IBM Machine during its warranty period at no charge to keep it in, or
restore it to good working order. In this case, you are not authorized to
perform Warranty Service. You agree to convey all (or the remaining
portion) of our warranty to your Customer.

WHEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SERVICING MACHINES

When you are responsible for providing Warranty Service, you agree to do
the following according to the Service support guidelines we provide:

1. maintain Warranty Service capability;

2. ensure that it is performed only by personnel trained to our standards
and consistent with our service terms and statement of limited
warranty;

3. provide it even for Machines that the End User did not acquire from
you; and

4. submit only valid warranty-reimbursement requests to us that are within
the specified time limits.

We will:

1. train you to provide Warranty Service. We provide training, at no
charge, for the minimum number of your Service personnel that we
require. Additional training may be provided for a fee;

2. provide you with necessary technical information; and

3. pay you for Warranty Service performed and exchange (or reimburse you
for) parts.

MAINTENANCE PARTS

We sell maintenance parts for use in providing Warranty Service and for
maintaining Machines. You may sell such parts to others for use in
maintaining Machines.

ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANTY SERVICE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MACHINES WITH ON-SITE
TYPE OF SERVICE

For a Machine that we designate as having on-site type of service
(performed at the Customer's location as opposed to the warranty provider's
service location), you may assign Warranty Service responsibility to us or
to anyone else authorized by us to provide it. You agree to:

15 of 21

1. ensure that the assignee accepts Warranty Service responsibility for
each Machine assigned to it;

2. provide a copy of the sales receipt to the assignee:

3. notify your Customer of the assignment; and

4. remain responsible for your Customer's satisfaction with that Service.

If you assign Warranty Service responsibility for all units of a Machine
type to us, you are no longer required to be Warranty Service capable for
that Machine type.

When you accept Warranty Service responsibility from another of our
remarketers, you may not reassign that responsibility and are responsible
for Customer satisfaction with that Service.

WARRANTY SERVICE FOR NON-IBM PRODUCTS

For non-IBM Products that we do not warrant and other non-IBM equipment
that a Customer may reasonably believe is warranted by us, you agree to
inform your Customer in writing, before the sale, that we do not warrant
them. You also agree to inform your Customer 1) that the Products or
equipment are non-IBM, 2) of the applicable warranty (if any), and 3) of
the procedure to obtain any warranty service.

19. MARKETING OF IBM MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR A FEE

When you have marketed a Machine you are approved to market, to an End
User, you may market our Maintenance Services on eligible machines in that
account and receive a fee from us for marketing the Maintenance Services on
those machines. We may specify additional terms in a relationship
Attachment (for example, an Industry Remarketer Attachment). We provide
Maintenance Services to the End User under the terms of our applicable
agreement, signed by the End User. You agree to provide us with any
required documents signed by you or the End User, as applicable, and inform
the End User of our service procedures.

We will not pay you the fee if the machine is already under our Maintenance
Services or if the Maintenance Services had been terminated on the machine
within the prior six months at the same account.

20. PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS

infringes that party's patent or copyright, we will defend you against that
claim at our expense and pay all costs, damages, and attorney's fees that a
court finally awards, provided that you:

1. promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and

2. allow us to control, and cooperate with us in, the defense and any
related settlement negotiations.

If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, about a Product in
your inventory, you agree to permit us to either enable you to continue to
market and use the Product, or to modify or replace it. If we determine
that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to
return the Product to us on our written request. We will then give you an
appropriate credit, as we determine, which will be either 1) the price you
paid us for the Product (less any price-reduction credit) or 2) the
depreciated price.

This is our entire obligation to you regarding any claim of infringement.

CLAIMS FOR WHICH WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE

We have no obligation regarding any claim based on any of the following:

1. your modification of a Product, or a Program's use in other than its
specified operating, environment;

2. the combination, operation, or use of a Product with any product, data,

DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRODUCTS

We may allow you to acquire Products for resellers, primarily for their use
in developing, testing, supporting, and demonstrating their value added
enhancement. We call these "Development System" Products. We may also
approve you to acquire Products for your resellers for their exclusive use
in developing, supporting and testing their value-added enhancement. Such
Products may not be used for demonstration purposes.

We will provide applicable Warranty Services, and you will provide Program
Services and all other support for Development System Products used by the
resellers, even if they did not acquire them from you. Each reseller must
agree to comply with these terms (as applicable) as though it were
acquiring the Development System directly from us. If you or the reseller
does not comply with these terms we may refuse to provide you with
additional Development Systems at Development System discounts.

DEMONSTRATION SYSTEM PRODUCTS

We may allow you to acquire Products for your use primarily for
demonstration and testing purposes and for supporting your industry
remarketer affiliates. We call these "Demonstration System" Products.

DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRODUCTS AND DEMONSTRATION SYSTEM PRODUCTS

If the Development System or Demonstration System is a Machine for which
there is a field upgrade available, and you have acquired the maximum
number of Demonstration System Machines for your contract period, or if
your reseller has acquired the maximum number of Development System
Machines for a calendar year, you may acquire the field upgrade (but not a
replacement Machine) as a Development or Demonstration System, as
applicable. A Development or Demonstration System may not be resold,
leased or transferred for 12 months from the Date of Installation of the
Product (or its Machine upgrade).

For Programs, you must ensure that, when required, the applicable license
agreement is signed by the reseller and the completed supplement issued
before the Program is distributed. We make Programs, and their upgrades if
applicable, available to you at a 100% discount for use on an authorized

payment of a fee. We will specify such Programs and their fee.

For a Development or Demonstration System (other than Programs) we will
specify its applicable discount or price, as applicable. You may not
combine this offering with any other discount or allowance. A Development
or Demonstration System may not be resold, leased, or transferred for 12

IBM BUSINESS PARTNER AGREEMENT - REMARKETER
INDUSTRY REMARKETER ATTACHMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. VALUE-ADDED ENHANCEMENT

You agree to market Products only with your value-added enhancement that we
approve as part of an integrated solution for End Users. Certain Products
we specify to you may not require a value-added enhancement. However, you
may provide up to 25% of the personal computer system units, including
associated features and options, in each transaction without such
enhancement. If we withdraw approval of any such enhancement we also
withdraw your authorization as our industry remarketer with regard to that
specific enhancement. You are responsible for your enhancement, (and we
are not).

You agree to market Products only to End Users for whom your enhancement is
the primary reason for acquiring Products (a sale without a required value-
added enhancement is an additional example of a material breach). Unless
we specify otherwise in writing, you will market only to such End Users who
intend ongoing use of that enhancement as a significant part of their
business operations. Your enhancement is not required to be the primary
reason for acquiring upgrades to systems you have installed with your
enhancement and where your enhancement is still in productive use.
Upgrades include peripherals, programs and processor upgrades. However,
your enhancement must be the primary reason for a processor upgrade
requiring a processor serial number change. You agree to assist the End
Users to achieve productive use of Products promptly after acquisition.

If we inform you in writing of a specific industry code, you agree to
market only to End Users within that code. We may provide certain
installation planning assistance. We provide Product support to you (and
not to End Users).

1. provide facilities to demonstrate your enhancement;

2. verify the operation. and explain the functions and expected
performance, of the Products and your enhancement to End Users;

3. provide support (such as documentation and technical assistance) for
the Products, your enhancement, and other products it requires; and

4. select, develop, procure integrate, and install all elements of your
enhancement and any updates to it.

support requirements for the Products you are approved to market as an
Industry Remarketer - Mid-Range, you may contract for the necessary skills
with IBM Authorized Business Partners, who may perform such activities
directly for your End User. However, you are responsible for your End
User's satisfaction with such installation and support activities. You
agree to indemnify IBM from any liability for the activities performed by
such parties. Additionally, you may select IBM to perform such activities.
In that event, IBM assumes customer satisfaction responsibilities for its
activities.

We may allow you to use an agent to represent you for other activities. If
so we will provide written guidelines to you.

3. MARKETING OF PRODUCTS

from marketing, you may market them to resellers and to End Users without

Page 2 of 11

your value-added enhancement. However, you may not market withdrawn
certified Products to resellers.

When you market withdrawn Products to resellers you agree to:

1. distribute Products fairly.

2. require your resellers to retain the necessary records (such as sales
and credit receipts):

3. identify the resellers to us; and

4. notify the resellers in writing that such Products are made available
for marketing only in the United States and Puerto Rico.

4. ASSOCIATION WITH AN AGGREGATOR

If you acquire IBM Personal System Products from an Aggregator, your
Aggregator is authorized to set up and test those Products for you on your
request. If the setup includes preloaded IBM Programs, you must ensure
that the End User has agreed to the terms of the applicable license
agreement prior to the preload.

5. INTERNAL USE OF PRODUCTS

If we authorize you as an industry remarketer of mid-range computer
Products, we allow you to acquire certain of those Products which you are
approved to market, for your own internal use within your remarketing
operations only and not for any other use including End User productive
use, even if such use is managed within your business enterprise. Your
value-added enhancement is not required for such acquisitions. The
Industry Remarketer Exhibit includes further details.

Products not yet shipped, provided you accept any related changes in terms.

Page 3 of 11

Otherwise, you may select 1) the decreased price without discount or 2) the
discounted price available to you before the decrease.

Prices increases do not apply to you if we receive your order prior to the
effective date of the increase and if we ship your order within six months
of the date we receive it.

We may increase a recurring charge at any time. However, the effective
date of the increase may not be less than 90 days from the date of our
notice to you, and will be effective on the first day of the applicable
invoice period specified in the notice.

DISCOUNTS

We provide a discount schedule for Products listed in the Industry
Remarketer Exhibit. Some discount schedules have deeper discounts available
when you agree to acquire, as applicable, 1) a specific quantity of
Products from a specific Product Category, or 2) a minimum revenue amount
as specified in the Exhibit. We call this your "Commitment". If you change
your Commitment, you may subject to a higher or lower discount, as
applicable. The discount applies only to Products acquired after the
effective date of your Commitment change.

To determine your discounted price, we apply the applicable discount to the
Products lowest single-unit price in effect between the date we receive
your order and our date of shipment, if such shipment is within six months
of our receipt of your order. For Products shipped beyond the six months
period, the discount is applied to the single-unit price in effect on our
date of shipment.

Unless we specify otherwise, discounts do not apply to Program upgrades,
accessories, or field-installed Machine features, conversions, or upgrades.

If during our review of your compliance with this Agreement, we find you
have materially breached the terms of our relationship, in addition to our
rights under law and the terms of this Agreement, for the applicable
transactions, you will refund the discount you received from us and
reimburse us for all administrative expenses associated with our compliance
review activity.

7. RE-WORK EXPENSE

If you alter, defer, or cancel an order for Products and we incur expenses
to re-work the Products, we will invoice you for the actual expenses
incurred. For orders cancelled after shipment, the re-work charge is in
addition to the inventory adjustment handling charge specified in the
Industry Remarketer Exhibit.

Page 4 of 11

8. INSTALLATION OF MACHINE FEATURES, CONVERSIONS, AND UPGRADES

For Machines listed in the Industry Remarketer Exhibit, we may require that
Machine features, conversions, and upgrades be installed only on
designated, serial-numbered Machines. You represent that you have the
permission of the owner (if you are not the owner of the Machine) and any
lien holders to 1) install features, conversions, and upgrades and 2)
transfer removed parts to us.

Some of these transactions (called "Net-Priced" transactions) include
associated replacement parts. We provide these parts on an exchange basis.
All removed parts in a Net-Priced transaction become our property.
Replacement parts assume the service status of the parts they replace. For
a Net-Priced transaction, you or your Customer must allow us to install it
within 30 days of its delivery and to recover the removed parts.
Otherwise, we may terminate the transaction, and the feature, conversion,
or upgrade must be returned to us at your expense.

9. IBM INDUSTRY REMARKETER EXHIBIT PROGRAMS

You agree to have one license for each Program you provide to End Users,
that is listed in the Industry Remarketer Exhibit. A Program which we
provide to you at no charge and which is licensed for use with a
Development System fulfills this requirement. You are responsible for
copying and distributing the Programs you provide to End Users. On our
request, you agree to also distribute documentation.

You agree to:

1. ensure that, when required, the applicable license agreement is signed
by the End User and the completed supplement is issued (with a copy
sent to us) before you copy and distribute the Program. Failure to
provide us with the signed agreements promptly after they are signed
is a material breach of this Agreement and cause for its immediate
termination;

2. promptly notify us if you become aware of any violation (or threatened
violation) of the license terms, and give us reasonable assistance in
enforcing our rights;

3. promptly notify us if the End User provides you with any required
notices under the license.

4. provide the End User with all Program Services we make available to
you; and

5. copy and distribute to the End User any defect-correction information
and subsequent Program releases we provide.

COPYING AIX PROGRAMS CONTAINING THIRD-PARTY CODE

If you are approved to market IBM RISC System/6000 AIX Programs containing
third-party code, you may neither 1) delegate your right to copy these
Programs nor 2) make copies that contain modifications you created from the
use of UNIX(R) or OSF/1(R) source code.

We do not grant you any rights to any trademarks of AT&T Technologies,
Inc., UNIX System Laboratories, Inc., or any of their affiliates.

You will not adopt a name for your product which is confusingly similar to
any trademark of AT&T Technologies, Inc., UNIX System Laboratories, Inc.,
or any of their affiliates.

You agree to:

1. maintain accurate records of the number of copies made;

2. provide us quarterly statements of the number of copies made in that
calendar quarter; and

3. annually, upon request, make all relevant records available for audit
by us, AT&T Technologies, Inc., UNIX System Laboratories, Inc., and
Open Software Foundation, Inc.(R)

PAYMENT

The following are the bases on which we may require the amount payable for
a Program to be paid:

1. one-time;

2. recurring (for example, a monthly license charge); or

3. a combination of both (for example, an initial charge and an annual
license charge).

We will specify the amount and basis for the particular Program.

Programs licensed to you on a recurring-charge basis are licensed for the
period indicated in our invoice. You may market such Programs only on the
same basis as licensed to you. You may not charge an End User a one-time
charge for a Program you license from us on a recurring-charge basis.
However, you may charge the End User whatever amount you wish for the
recurring charge.

(R)OSF/1 and Open Software Foundation are registered trademarks of Open
Software Foundation, Inc.

10. DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS

We may allow you to acquire Products for use primarily in developing,
testing. supporting, or demonstrating your value-added enhancement. We
call these Development System Products. We may also approve you to acquire
Products under these terms, for the exclusive use of development, support
and testing your value-added enhancement. Such Products may not be used for
demonstration purposes.

If you have a Development System Product that is a Machine for which there
is a field upgrade available, and you have acquired the maximum number of
Development System Products you may acquire for the contract period, you
may acquire the field upgrade (but not a replacement Machine) as a
Development System Product.

You agree not to resell, lease, or transfer a Development System Product
for 12 months from the Date of Installation of the Product (or its Machine
upgrade).

For a Development System Product listed in the Industry Remarketer Exhibit
(other than Programs), we will specify either a Development System price or
a Development System discount.

We make Programs, and their upgrades if applicable, available to you at a
100 percent discount, for use on an authorized Development System. Certain
Programs may require your payment of a fee. We will specify such Programs
and their fee. You agree not to resell, lease or transfer Programs you
acquire under these terms.

For a Development System Product listed in the Dealer Exhibit, we will
specify a Development System price.

We will specify, in the applicable Exhibit, the maximum quantity of each
Development System Product that you may acquire. If you are an industry
remarketer of mid-range computer Products, you must have a Development
System for each system type that you are approved to market.

We will provide applicable Warranty and Program Services for Development
System Products listed in the Industry Remarketer Exhibit. You are
responsible for these Services for Development System Products listed in
the Dealer Exhibit.

Development System Products do not count toward your minimum renewal
criteria or any Commitment. If you use a Development System Product in a

Page 7 of 11

manner that does not comply with these terms, we may charge you the
difference between what you paid and the full price.

You may not combine this offering with any other discount or allowance.

11. PRELOAD OF PROGRAMS

For certain Machines specified in the applicable Exhibit, we will, on your
request, preload programs you select onto those on-order Machines.

We will:

1. send you a utility program and a kit containing blank tapes and
instructions so you can provide us with tapes containing the programs
selected for preload;

2. make production copies of the tapes you send us, use those copies to
load the Machine, and verify that the process is successfully
completed;

3. verify that the Machine is successfully delivered in a preloaded
condition: and

4. retain the tapes for at least three months following the shipment of
the last Machine for which preloading is ordered. You may request a
shorter retention period in writing. At the end of that period, we
will erase the programs from all tapes in our possession.

You agree to:

1. have a license for each IBM Program for which you order preloading;

2. ensure that the applicable license agreement is signed by the End User
and the completed supplement is issued (with a copy sent to us). You
must do this before we ship the Machine;

3. obtain approval from each owner of each non-IBM program you send us to
copy, to -

a. make as many copies as we may need to support the preload
process, and

b. reproduce, in each copy, only those copyright notices that appear
within the program;

Page 8 of 11

4. provide us with programs and documentation according to the
instructions that accompany the kit we send to you. You agree to
return the entire kit and utility program;

5. provide us with tapes at least four weeks before the scheduled
shipment of the Machine for which you require preloading;

6. not send us any information that is confidential or proprietary to
anyone; and

7. pay any applicable charges for preloading. Any discount that applies
to the Machine also applies to preload charges.

12. TRIAL PRODUCTS

We may offer certain Products as "Trial Products." If you are approved for
a Trial Product, you may provide it to End Users for evaluation purposes,
or (if we agree) you may use it as part of a Development System. You may
either return or retain a Trial Product. If you do not wish to retain it,
you must notify us in writing before the end of the trial period.
Otherwise, we will consider the Product to be retained.

We will list in an Addendum the specifics of a trial, such as Trial period,
Trial Products, and, if applicable, the End User. We reserve the right to
withdraw a trial at any time.

If the End User is participating in the trial, you agree to ensure that we
receive the applicable agreement signed by you and the End User. You agree
to provide the End User with the necessary details of the trial.

We do not transfer title to Trial Products during the trial period. We
will service and support them, and bear the risk of loss (except for theft
or vandalism].

You agree:

1. to inform us of each Trial Product's location;

2. that the Product may not be moved to another location or altered,
without our prior written approval. However, you may attach a non-IBM
product or device to an IBM Machine without notice. You may not make
any alteration or attachment that creates a safety hazard or renders
maintenance of the Machine impractical;

3. to return, at the end of the trial period, all Products (including any
copies of Programs) not retained. The Products should be returned

Page 9 of 11

unaltered and in the same condition as when delivered to you.
Alternatively, for Programs, you may destroy all copies; and

4. to furnish all labor for unpacking and packing.

If you retain a Trial Product, payment is due on the business day following
the last day of the trial period. For a Machine, we transfer title to you
and no longer bear the risk of loss as of that day. However, the warranty
period begins on the Date of Installation.

13. TRADE-IN MACHINES

We may specify certain Machines as eligible for trade-in. We will list in
an Addendum such items as the Machine you agree to purchase (called the
"Replacement Machine") and the Machine you agree to return to us (called
the "Replaced Machine"). When we accept a Replaced Machine, we give you
credit towards the purchase from us of other, eligible Machines. You
agree to ensure that the same End User who was using the Replaced Machine,
acquires the Replacement Machine. A Trial Machine may qualify as a
Replacement Machine.

For the Replaced Machine, you agree to:

1. restore an IBM Machine to its unaltered condition;

2. have it in operating condition on the day before it is available for
pickup;

3. furnish all labor for packing; and

4. ensure that title to it is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions on the day it is picked up, unless the IBM Credit
Corporation owns both the Replacement and Replaced Machines.

For the Replaced Machine, we will:

1. arrange for its pickup at your or the End User's location;

2. bear the risk of loss after it is picked up; and

3. pay normal transportation charges.

The credit we give is in addition to any other discount for which the
Replacement Machine may be eligible. The Replacement Machine counts toward
your Commitment, unless the Replaced Machine was previously counted toward

Page 10 of 11

that Commitment. You agree to pay the full amount due for the Replacement
Machine. You may not reduce your payment in anticipation of receiving the
credit.

If both Machines in a trade-in are used as part of a Development System,
the Replaced Machine is not subject to Development System adjustment
charges.

14. MARKETING OF IBM SERVICES FOR A FEE

We approve you to market, and will pay you a fee, for eligible Services you
market 1) as our industry remarketer to End Users, or 2) as our managing
industry remarketer, to resellers. You, or if you are a managing industry
remarketer, your reseller, may market Services on any eligible machine in
an account when 1) the End User to which the Service is marketed acquired
your IBM approved value-added enhancement from you, or if you are a
managing industry remarketer, from your reseller, and the enhancement is
installed on one or more Machines you are approved to market, regardless of
who marketed the Machine to the End User, or 2) you, or if you are a
managing industry remarketer, your reseller, marketed a Machine to the End
User under an IBM Business Partner relationship which did not require an
IBM approved value-added enhancement.

Services may be marketed on eligible non-IBM machines regardless of whether
an IBM approved value- added enhancement is installed on a Machine in the
account.

We specify the eligible Sen/ices, and the percentages used to determine
your fee, in an Exhibit:

We will not pay you the fee if the machine is already under the Service or
if the Service had been terminated on the machine within the prior six
months at the same account.

forfeited by you;

3. determine Your eligibility for disbursements from the fund:

4. reimburse you for preapproved expenses, for which you submit an
invoice and any other documentation that we may require.
Reimbursement amounts will not exceed your available market
development fund balance. We will provide reimbursements from the
fund based on the reimbursement percent we specify in the Addendum.
If this percent is less than 100, then you are responsible for the
balance;

5. change the reimbursement percent solely at our discretion;

* Redacted pursuant to application for confidential treatment.

Page 1 of 2

6. reimburse you, in the following quarter, for approved expenses which
we do not reimburse (due to an insufficient market development fund
balance) in the quarter you submitted them; and

7. periodically reconcile disbursements from the fund to amounts credited
to the fund.

3. YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree to:

1. perform the activities specified in the market development fund plan;

2. use disbursements from the tuna to market our RISC System/6000
Products to resellers, according to the guidelines we provide;

3. submit our reimbursement form on a quarterly basis, by the dates
specified in the Addendum. You also agree to submit invoices for
reimbursement from the fund (if applicable), as we specify: and
4. retain records (according to our guidelines) for three years of your
use of a disbursement and expenses associated with the fund.

4. ENDING THE ATTACHMENT

This Attachment ends the earlier of 1) its termination or 2) December 1,
1994. When this Attachment ends, any Addendum under it will also end.
Either of us may terminate this Attachment, with or without cause, on one
month's written notice. We may terminate this Attachment at any time if
you materially breach any of its terms.
