                      MANAGED OPERATIONS SERVICES AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This  Amendment  Number 4 to the Managed  Operations  Services  Agreement  (this
"Amendment"),  is made by and  between  Franklin  Templeton  Companies,  LLC,  a
Delaware Limited Liability  Company,  having a place of business at One Franklin
Parkway,  San Mateo, CA, 94403 ("Franklin") and International  Business Machines
Corporation,  having place of business at Route 100,  Somers,  NY, 10589 ("IBM")
(collectively  referred to herein as the  "Parties").  This Amendment is entered
into on this __1st__day of __July__,  2003 (the  "Amendment 4 Effective  Date").
This Amendment amends the Managed Operations Services Agreement,  dated February
6, 2001,  between  Franklin  and IBM as  modified  or amended  prior to the date
hereof including any schedules,  supplements,  exhibits and attachments  thereto
(the  "Agreement").  Capitalized  terms used but not defined  herein  shall have
their  respective  meanings  as  defined in the  Agreement.  In the event of any
inconsistency  between  the  terms  of the  Agreement  and  the  terms  of  this
Amendment,  the terms of this Amendment shall prevail.  All terms and conditions
of the Agreement not specifically  amended or supplemented  herein, shall remain
unchanged and in full force and effect. The Term of this Amendment will begin as
of the Amendment 4 Effective  Date and will run  concurrently  with the Term, as
modified herein.

The  affected  and  changed  sections  and  Schedules  of the  Agreement  are as
indicated below.

I.   THE AGREEMENT:
     --------------

     A)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 1.bbb:
          "Amended Commencement Date" means July 1, 2003.

     B)   SECTION 1.g IS HEREBY AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:
          "Original  Commencement  Date"  shall  be  synonymous  with  the  term
          "Commencement Date" as used in the Agreement and means March 1, 2001.

     C)   SECTIONS 5.a AND 5.b  (PAYMENTS)  ARE HEREBY DELETED IN THEIR ENTIRETY
          AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:
          a.   Franklin  shall pay IBM for  Services  as set forth in Schedule C
               (Charges).
          b.   Upon the first  business  day of the each month of the Term,  IBM
               will present Franklin with one invoice in the amount of a monthly
               pro rata  portion of the Annual  Services  Charge as set forth in
               Exhibit C-1 (the "ASC Invoice").  Upon or before the tenth day of
               each  month of the  Term,  IBM  will  present  Franklin  with one
               invoice covering any variable charges, credits or amounts due and
               owing under the Agreement for the preceding month, including ARCs
               and RRCs (the "Variable Charge Invoice"). Payment shall be due as
               follows (in each case, the "Payable Date"):

               1.   The ASC  Invoice  shall be due and  payable on or before the
                    last  working  day of the  calendar  month  for  which  such
                    invoice is applicable.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the
                    event that  Franklin  does not receive the ASC invoice  from
                    IBM in a timely  manner  consistent  with this Section 5(b),
                    any  such  invoice  shall  be due  and  payable,  within  30
                    calendar days of Franklin's actual receipt of such invoice.
               2.   The Variable  Charge Invoice shall be due and payable within
                    30 calendar days of Franklin's  receipt of such invoice.  In
                    the event that the Variable  Charge  Invoice  reflects a net
                    credit to Franklin, IBM shall credit such amount to Franklin
                    within 30 calendar days of the issuance of such invoice.

               3.   In the  event  that  the  Parties  mutually  agree  upon any
                    additional charges to be made pursuant to this Agreement, in
                    the absence of any contrary  agreement  between the Parties,
                    any such  additional  charge shall be due and payable within
                    30 calendar days of receipt of invoice by Franklin.
               4.   Franklin   shall  have  the  option  to  make  payments  due
                    hereunder  via wire  fund  transfer  or  other  commercially
                    similar  electronic  medium  acceptable to IBM. This form of
                    payment  shall be made to an IBM account  specified  by IBM.
                    IBM shall  provide  all  necessary  account  information  to
                    enable Franklin to make such deposit.
               5.   If any payments or portions  thereof are not received by IBM
                    on the Payable  Date,  Franklin will also pay IBM a late fee
                    for each day after the  Payable  Date and until the date IBM
                    receives  such late payment in full.  The amount of the late
                    fee will be  invoiced  to  Franklin  and payable in the next
                    monthly  invoice.  The late fee will be the  lesser of 1% or
                    the maximum  allowed under the law of any overdue amount per
                    month.
               6.   Franklin's payment obligations under this Section 5 shall be
                    limited to amounts which are properly due and owing pursuant
                    to the terms of the Agreement.  IBM's failure to perform the
                    Services  pursuant  to the terms of the  Agreement  shall be
                    deemed a proper basis for Franklin's  temporary  withholding
                    of payment of such disputed amount.

     D)   SECTION 8.a  (SOFTWARE  AND  EQUIPMENT) IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY AND
          REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          a.   Franklin Provided  Software and Equipment.  Until Initial Refresh
               (with respect to each item of software or  equipment),  except as
               otherwise  set  forth  in  this  Agreement,  Franklin  will  have
               financial  responsibility  for  and  will  provide  all  In-Scope
               Software and In-Scope Equipment required to provide the Services,
               including  leases,  license  fees,  upgrade fees and  maintenance
               fees.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  in the event that Initial
               Refresh has not occurred  within  eighteen  months  following the
               Amended   Commencement   Date,  IBM  shall  be  responsible   for
               maintenance  on  Sun  Microsystems,  EMC,  and  IBM  manufactured
               In-Scope  Equipment  (excluding any In Scope Equipment  purchased
               after the Original  Commencement Date) until Initial Refresh does
               occur unless such delay is due to Franklin's delay. The foregoing
               obligations  shall not  include  (i) the S/390  T16  situated  in
               Rancho Cordova, described in Section 8.b. below; (ii) the upgrade
               to the S/390 T16 to an R56; (iii) all IBM S/390 Systems Software,
               and (iv) the IBM Systems Software on the AS/400s. With respect to
               the  foregoing  items  described in (i) through  (iv),  IBM shall
               provide and will  maintain  financial  and other  responsibility.
               Franklin  hereby grants to IBM during the Term,  its  Affiliates,
               and their subcontractors, for use solely in connection with IBM's
               provision  of the  Services,  the  rights  to use  such  Franklin
               Provided   Software  and  Franklin   Provided  Hardware  that  is
               necessary for IBM's provision of the Services, subject to Section
               8.d (Required Consents) of this Agreement.

     E)   SECTION 8.c (IBM  PROVIDED  SOFTWARE  AND IBM PROVIDED  EQUIPMENT)  IS
          DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          c.   IBM Provided Software and IBM Provided Equipment.  At the time of
               Initial  Refresh,  with respect to a particular piece of In-Scope
               Equipment,  IBM shall assume all responsibility for such In-Scope
               Equipment  and all  System  Software  running  on  such  In-Scope
               Equipment  (but not  including  any Third  Party OEM  Software or
               application  software  and  DEC/VAX  midrange  servers  listed on
               Schedule G),  including  leases,  license fees,  upgrade fees and
               maintenance  fees. With respect to Third Party OEM Software,  IBM
               will be responsible  for the  management and  procurement of such
               software and will reasonably cooperate with Franklin and Franklin
               Affiliates  to assess  and to  maximize  efficiencies  and volume
               benefits  that  Franklin  and Franklin  Affiliates

               may seek from  licensors of such  software and will,  upon mutual
               agreement of the Parties,  replace  Third Party OEM Software with
               IBM software during refreshes where IBM replacement software with
               similar  functionality  exists.   Franklin  will  be  financially
               responsible  for  all  Third  Party  OEM  Software  and  for  IBM
               replacement software (excluding IBM Systems Software).

     F)   SECTION 8.e (REFRESH) IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY AND REPLACED WITH THE
          FOLLOWING:

          e.   Refresh. For each item of In-Scope Hardware and In-Scope Software
               as to which IBM has an  obligation  under  subsection  (c) above,
               Franklin will provide IBM with prior notice of the  expiration or
               termination  of  the  applicable  equipment  lease  agreement  or
               pending  expiration  of  depreciation  for such item of hardware.
               Subject to the terms and conditions of this  Agreement,  IBM will
               negotiate and be financially responsible for the renewal or other
               extension of such hardware and associated  IBM Systems  Software,
               or  of  a  similar  alternative  software  or  hardware  solution
               proposed by IBM.  It is the  intention  of the  parties  that IBM
               shall  perform  all  Initial  Refresh   (excluding  any  In-Scope
               Hardware  purchased after the Original  Commencement Date) within
               eighteen (18) months of the Amended  Commencement Date. IBM shall
               not  implement  or otherwise  use any  hardware or software  with
               respect to the  Services  which will  unreasonably  or  adversely
               affect   Franklin's   or  a  Franklin   Affiliate's   application
               environment.

     G)   SECTION  8.g  (SOFTWARE  CURRENCY)  IS  DELETED  IN ITS  ENTIRETY  AND
          REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          g.   Software Currency.  Following Initial Refresh,  IBM shall perform
               all  functions   required  to  maintain  all  In-Scope   Software
               currency.  Unless  otherwise  agreed  by the  parties,  IBM shall
               maintain In-Scope Software within one generation of current major
               release levels.

     H)   SECTION  8.h  (EQUIPMENT  CURRENCY)  IS  DELETED IN ITS  ENTIRETY  AND
          REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          h.   Equipment Currency.  Following Initial Refresh, IBM shall perform
               all  functions   required  to  maintain  all  In-Scope  Equipment
               currency (except with respect to the DEC/VAX Servers, Amendment 3
               Equipment,  and the Canadian  Disaster Recovery AS/400 machine in
               Rancho Cordova).  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties,  IBM
               shall subsequently  refresh the In-Scope  Equipment  according to
               Table  8.h.1.  below.  To  avoid  all  In-Scope  Equipment  being
               refreshed at one time, the Parties shall  negotiate in good faith
               using commercially  acceptable  standards,  to develop a mutually
               agreed upon Annual Technology Refresh Plan which shall be updated
               by the Parties  annually (by December 31st of the expiring  year)
               beginning  in 2003.  The  Annual  Technology  Refresh  Plan  will
               include  a  schedule  to  execute  the  refresh  of the  In-Scope
               Equipment for the following year. Additionally, the Parties agree
               to  negotiate  in good  faith to  resolve  any  refresh  schedule
               mismatches, which may exist due to partial platforms, application
               development and testing resource  constraints or lack of backward
               compatibility. Such resolution may be by acceleration or slowdown
               of the refresh cycle.

     I)   SECTION 10.b (REPLACEMENT OF PROTECTED EMPLOYEES) IS HEREBY DELETED IN
          ITS ENTIRETY AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          b.   Replacement or  Reassignment of Protected  Employees.  During the
               eighteen  months  from  the  Commencement  Date,  IBM  shall  not
               reassign  or replace any  Protected  Employee  described  in (i),
               (ii), (iii) or (iv) (with (iv) being limited as described above).
               The  restrictions  described  above shall  apply,  except for the
               reasons set forth below:  (i) replacement or reassignment of such
               Protected Employee pursuant to Franklin's written consent to such
               reassignment;  (ii) Protected  Employee's  voluntary  resignation
               from IBM;  (iii)  dismissal  of a  Protected  Employee by IBM for
               misconduct  (e.g.,  fraud,  drug abuse,  theft) or unsatisfactory
               performance  as  determined  by  IBM;  or,  (iv)  inability  of a
               Protected Employee to work due to sickness or disability,  or any
               relevant  labor  or  employment   legislation  or  following  the
               termination  or expiration of the  Agreement  (each,  an "Excused
               Replacement").  If IBM replaces or reassigns a Protected Employee
               in violation of this  provision,  in addition to whatever  rights
               and  remedies   Franklin  may  otherwise   have,   IBM  shall  be
               responsible:  (i) for replacing  such Protected  Employee  within
               thirty  (30)  days of the last day of such  Protected  Employee's
               employment  with  IBM;  and  (ii)  for  training  such  Protected
               Employee's  replacement  at IBM's sole  expense.  The IBM Project
               Executive  may  approach the Franklin  Project  Executive  with a
               request  to  include a  specific  personnel  reassignment  in the
               category of Excused  Replacement  based upon IBM's  desire to not
               limit an IBM Key Employee's  career  development and advancement.
               The Franklin  Project  Executive  will consider such a request in
               good faith.

     J)   THE FIRST TWO SENTENCES OF SECTION 15.  (BENCHMARKING)  ARE AMENDED AS

          Benchmarking. At the end of the 24th, 40th, 56th, 72nd, 88th and 104th
          months following the Amended Commencement Date, either party may elect
          to conduct a benchmarking  process designed to objectively compare the
          Services  and the  rates  and  charges  related  thereto  to  industry
          standards for  comparable  services in accordance  the  procedures set
          forth herein.

     L)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 17.f (USE OF FACILITIES: TORONTO):

          f.   The  Parties   hereby  agree  that  a  portion  of  the  Services
               (specifically  remote operations) which are currently provided by
               IBM hereunder from the United States,  may be  transitioned  over
               and may be provided by IBM from Franklin's  facilities in Toronto
               Canada. Should IBM decide to make this transition, Franklin shall
               provide  the  following  facilities  for  use by IBM in  Toronto:
               Franklin  will  provide IBM with  facilities  and general  office
               equipment   (including   standard  office  furniture,   telephone
               handsets,  fixtures,  use of  shared  office  equipment,  such as
               photocopiers)  for up to forty (40) IBM  personnel at  Franklin's
               facilities  in  Toronto,  Canada  that  are  comparable  to which
               Franklin  provides to its own  similarly  situated  employees and
               contractors  at such  facility.  IBM  shall  be  responsible  for
               providing all personal  computers  (workstations and laptops) for
               use by IBM personnel.

          IBM will successfully complete its transition to Toronto in accordance
          with its  transition  plan  which  shall be  commercially  reasonable,
          unless otherwise mutually agreed.

     M)   THE FIRST  SENTENCE OF SECTION  20.a (TERM) IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY
          AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          a.   As of the Amended  Commencement  Date,  (Except  with  respect to
               Schedule M, the term of which shall remain  unchanged),  the Term
               of the  Agreement is hereby  extended as follows:  The Term shall
               extend until 2400 hours,  Pacific  time,  on the later of (i) the
               tenth  anniversary of the Amended  Commencement  Date or (ii) the
               last day of the Temporary Extension of Services or the Transition
               Period (if any), if not terminated earlier pursuant to Section 18
               or 21 (the "Term").

     N)   SECTION  21.a  (TERMINATION)  IS HEREBY  DELETED IN ITS  ENTIRETY  AND
          REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          a.   Termination  for  Convenience.   At  any  time  after  the  third
               anniversary  of  the  Amended  Commencement  Date,  Franklin  may
               terminate  this  Agreement  (but not  including  Schedule  M) for
               convenience for any reason or no reason upon at least one hundred
               twenty (120) days  written  notice,  and  Franklin  shall have no
               further  obligations  under this Agreement except for (i) payment
               for  any  acceptable  Services  completed  by  IBM  prior  to the
               effective date of  termination;  (ii) payment of the  Termination
               for  Convenience  Charge  specified  in  Revision 2 to Schedule C
               (iii)  payment  of the  applicable  lease  buyout  charge  on all
               remaining  lease  obligations,  including  lease  obligations for
               assets  used  in the  IBM  data  center  exclusively  to  support
               Franklin,  as set forth in 21 (e) below and (iv)  payment  of the
               reasonable  costs  incurred  by IBM except for those  costs which
               fall  under  Section  21 (a) (iii)  above,  in  winding  down the
               Services to termination  that would not have been incurred if the
               Agreement had not been terminated for  convenience,  such amounts
               not to exceed $1,500,000 plus the amount of $50,000 multiplied by
               every three (3) employees in excess over 100 who are dedicated to
               providing  Services as of the date on which Franklin gives notice
               of  termination.  For example,  if on the date on which  Franklin
               gives notice of  termination,  121 IBM employees are dedicated to
               providing  Services,  the cap on the  reasonable  costs for which
               Franklin is liable under subsection (iv) above, is $1,850,000. If
               on the date on which  Franklin gives notice of  termination,  120
               IBM employees are dedicated to providing Services, the cap on the
               reasonable  costs for which  Franklin is liable under  subsection
               (iv) above, is $1,800,000.

     O)   THE LAST SENTENCE IN SECTION 21.b (TERMINATION FOR CAUSE) WHICH BEGINS
          "IN THE EVENT OF A DEFINED  DEFAULT  SPECIFIED..."  IS  DELETED IN ITS
          ENTIRETY.

     P)   SECTION 21.d (TERMINATION) IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY.

     Q)   SECTION  21.e  (TERMINATION)  IS DELETED IN ITS  ENTIRETY AND REPLACED
          WITH THE FOLLOWING:

          e.   Leases at Expiration or Termination. In the event that IBM incurs
               any actual  lease buy out  charges  due to IBM's  termination  of
               equipment  leases  because of  expiration or  termination  of the
               Agreement  for  any  reason,   Franklin  shall  pay  to  IBM  the
               applicable and documentable  lease buyout charge on all remaining
               In Scope Equipment lease obligations  including lease obligations
               for assets  used in the IBM data  center  exclusively  to support
               Franklin.  IBM shall provide an itemized  accounting of all lease
               buy out  charges  pursuant  to this  Section  21 (e) and any such
               charges shall be commercially reasonable under the circumstances.
               The Parties  intend that any equipment for which  Franklin pays a
               lease buyout charge become the property of Franklin.

     R)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 28:
          Mutual Stipulation.  IBM and Franklin hereby stipulate that each party
          has performed it's obligations under the Agreement for the time period
          beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Amended Commencement
          Date.  The  Parties   understand,   acknowledge  and  agree  that  the
          stipulation  set forth in this  Section  28 is under no  circumstances
          intended to be, nor should it be  interpreted  as a being a release of
          liability  for any actions  which may have been taken by either  party
          under the Agreement during this time.

     S)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 29 (INCREMENTAL REVENUE COMMITMENT):
          Franklin   commits  to  IBM  Global   Services  or  its  successor  an
          incremental  revenue  amount for  additional  services  (including any
          products  which are  included  as part of a service)  through  the IBM
          Project  Executive  under an Amendment or SOW to the  Agreement or the
          IBM/Franklin Customer Agreement for Services dated July 2, 2001 in the
          relevant calendar year as follows ("Incremental Revenue Commitment"):



          -------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ---------
                         2004      2005      2006      2007      2008      2009     2010
          -------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ---------
                                                               
          Total IBM      $1.75     $2.75     $3.25     $3.5      $3.5      $3.5     $3.5
          Incremental
          Revenue
          Commitment
          (in millions
          USD)
          -------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ---------



          The  Incremental  Revenue  Commitment  is over and  above  the  Annual
          Services  Charge set forth in Exhibit  C-1.  The  Incremental  Revenue
          Commitment will encompass all invoiced amounts paid by Franklin or its
          Affiliates  globally for  additional  IT services  (including  without
          limitation,  ARCs,  One-time  Incremental  Asset  Charges  and Monthly
          Incremental  Asset  Charges under the Agreement and any IBM or non-IBM
          products which are included as part of a service such as installation,
          maintenance  or managed  operations  services,  and IBM software to be
          installed on the In-scope Equipment,  for Franklin's environment) such
          as network  services,  help desk,  web hosting  services,  application
          development  management  services,   learning  services,   maintenance
          services, business consulting services and other strategic outsourcing
          services performed by IBM Global Services or its successor.

          If Franklin fails to meet the  Incremental  Revenue  Commitment in any
          calendar year, IBM, at its option,  shall either (i) invoice  Franklin
          in the second  month  following  the  applicable  calendar  year,  and
          Franklin  shall pay an amount equal to 15% of the  difference  between
          the  Incremental  Revenue  Commitment  and  the  amounts  invoiced  to
          Franklin  during  the  applicable  calendar

          year (the "IRC  Shortfall  Fee").  The IRC Shortfall  shall not exceed
          $262,500 for 2004,  $412,500 for 2005,  $487,500 for 2006 and $525,000
          per year for years 2007 through  2010 or (ii)  provide  Franklin a one
          year grace period to fulfill its Incremental  Revenue Commitment on an
          aggregate  basis  for  both  the  prior  and  current  years.  The IRC
          Shortfall  Fee shall not count  towards  the next  year's  Incremental
          Revenue Commitment,  nor shall any amount paid to IBM during the grace
          period if such amount is aggregated  with the prior year's  revenue in
          order  to meet  such  prior  year's  Incremental  Revenue  Commitment.
          Franklin  shall  provide  reasonable  assistance to IBM as required to
          calculate the amounts paid to IBM over the previous calendar year.

          If the Agreement  terminates  for any reason prior to its  anticipated
          expiration date, the Incremental  Revenue  Commitment will be prorated
          for the relevant  calendar  year in which the  Agreement is terminated
          and any  amounts  owing  for the IRC  Shortfall  Fee are due  upon the
          effective date of Termination.

          The  additional  Services  may be subject to a  Benchmark  (as per the
          Benchmark  provisions and schedule  defined in the Agreement)  against
          comparable  scope and  revenue  size of  similar  transactions  in the
          industry  (for  example,   product   installation   services  will  be
          benchmarked  against  comparable  scope,  complexity,   platforms  and
          volumes).

     T)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 30:
          Geographic  Scope of Services.  Unless the Parties  otherwise agree in
          writing,  the Services under this Agreement  shall be provided only in
          the United States of America.

     U)   ADD THE FOLLOWING AS SECTION 31:
          Governance.
          a.   Introduction

1.0  CHANGES TO SERVICE TIERS

a.   Franklin will use the Change  Management  procedures  to reclassify  Images
     among  the  Service  Tiers (an  Image  may only be  classified  as a single
     Service Tier at one time).

b.   The  promotion of an Image may not be for a period of less than  thirty-one
     (31) days or for such longer period as mutually agreed and set forth in the
     Procedures Manual.

c.   If a change to a Service  Tier is  required  outside of the  normal  Change
     Management  window,  the change  will be handled via the  Emergency  Change
     Management  process  described in the  Procedures  Manual.  If either Party
     deems  that  the  Emergency  Change  Managemetn   process  is  invoked  too
     frequently or not receiving adequate response,  the issue will be addressed
     in the monthly joint management committee meeting.

d.   Franklin will provide IBM with a Service  classification  Tier support plan
     as part of the standard application development lifecycle.

                    Component or Full Site  Disaster and a Daily Usage Charge as
                    described  in Exhibit  C-3 for each  additional  day or part
                    thereof:

                    1.   for the  duration  of each  Component  Disaster or Full
                         Site Disaster; or

                    2.   from the date IBM ships a Shared Recovery Configuration
                         to another location Franklin  designates until the date
                         Franklin returns it to IBM.

                    Franklin may not credit unused Test Time against the Initial
                    Recovery Charge or Daily Usage Charge.

                    Notwithstanding  the above,  commencing  upon the  Amendment
                    Number 5  Effective  Date and  continuing  for the  Business
                    Recovery  Services  Term, for all Full Site Disasters and up

                    Schedule  M).  This  exclusion  does not  apply to  Serviced
                    Applications utilizing Shared Recovery  Configurations,  nor
                    shall any unused  Component  Disaster  exclusions be carried

                    contained  in this  Section  3.7 (a) (2),  in the event that
                    Franklin makes a Componant Disaster  declaration as a result
                    of external factors or events beyond the reasonable  control
                    of  Franklin,  Franklin  shall not be  charged  the  Initial
                    Recovery  Charge  for  Serviced   Application(s)   utilizing
                    Dedicated Recovery Configurations.

                    travel and living  expenses  incurred  by IBM  personnel  in
                    excess of ten percent (10%) of the Business Recovery ASC for
                    such  travel  and  living   expenses  unless  prior  written
                    authorization is provided by Franklin.

               c.   Additional  Test Time or Test Time support hours pursuant to
                    Section 5.2 "Additional Test Time" of Revision 1 to Schedule
                    M.

               d.   IBM will  provide  Franklin  with a  Service  Authorization,
                    which will detail the BR Services  charges or  reduction  to
                    the BR Services Charges, if any as a result of any Change to
                    the  original  or  added  Serviced  Applications,  prior  to
                    implementing  any  changes,  as  described in Section 3.1 of
                    Revision  1  to  Schedule  M,  for   Franklin's   authorized
                    signature.

                    1.   The addition of Serviced  Applications  may result in a
                         one-time  Transition  Charge  and a  recurring  monthly
                         increase to the BR Services charges as set forth in the
                         Service Authorization.

                    2.   The  removal of Serviced  Applications  may result in a
                         recurring  mutually agreed monthly  reduction to the BR
                         Services  charges.  Both Parties  agree to negotiate in
                         good faith the reduction to the BR Services charges and
                         acknowledge that the original Serviced Applications and
                         those for added Serviced  Applications (as specified in
                         Exhibit   C-3)   were   priced    utilizing    separate
                         methodologies  which will be taken into account by both
                         Parties should such Serviced  Applications  be removed.
                         Additionally,  calculation of the applicable  reduction
                         shall include if applicable,  any IBM prior  investment
                         and reasonable  expenses related to the displacement of
                         BRS Supplement  equipment,  interdependencies  of other
                         Serviced   Applications,   and  the   minimum   revenue
                         commitment described in Section 3.7e.

                    3.   A Major Change to a Serviced Application will result in
                         a one-time Transition Charge and a recurring additional
                         or  reduced  monthly  charge,  as  applicable.  A Minor
                         Change  to  a  Serviced  Application  may  result  in a
                         one-time  Transition Charge and a recurring  additional
                         or reduced monthly charge, as applicable.  Both a Major
                         and a Minor  Change  shall be by mutual  agreement  and
                         shall be pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

                    4.   In the event that changes to Equipment  are  necessary,
                         the Parties  shall address any such change in a Service
                         Authorization or a Project Change Request.

               e.   In no  event  will the  Business  Recovery  Services  ASC as
                    described  in Exhiblit C-1 be reduced to an amount less than
                    $1,212,000 ($101,000 per month).

               f.   If IBM temporarily transfers a Shared Recovery Configuration
                    or a  Temporary  Transfer  machine  to a  location  Franklin
                    chooses, Franklin agrees to pay:

                    1.   all shipping  charges,  taxes,  tariffs,  and insurance
                         charges  incurred  for  shipment to such  location  and
                         return to IBM; and

                    2.   any other  charges,  including  Daily Usage Charges and
                         Initial  Usage  Charges  specified  Exhibit  C-3  which
                         Franklin  incurs  while  using  such  Configuration  or
                         Machines.

               g.   Amendment Number 5 One Time Charges

                    1.   As a result of the  change  in scope of work  regarding
                         Business   Recovery   Services  as  described  in  this
                         Amendment  Number 5, the  parties  hereby  agree to the
                         following:

                    IBM will  invoice  Franklin a one time  charge of  $525,176,
                    which will be invoiced  at a rate of  $318,794 in  September
                    2003,  and  $68,794  per  month in  October,  November,  and
                    December  2003.  Franklin  will  pay  the  one  time  charge
                    pursuant to the payment terms of Section 5 of the Agreement.
                    In the event that  Franklin has paid any amount in excess of
                    that which is required as a result of this Amendment  Number
                    5, IBM shall  credit  such  amount  toward the next  monthly
                    invoice under the Agreement.

               h.   Addition  of  Charles  River  application  Charles  River is
                    hereby added to the list of Serviced Applications as part of
                    this Amendment Number 5. The Parties agree that the solution
                    was determined based on the proposal (Charles River-Proposal
                    082803.doc) presented to Franklin on September 30, 2003 (the
                    "Proposal").  Should additional or reduced scope be required
                    to the solution outlined in the Proposal,  the Parties agree
                    to negotiate in good faith  incremental  changes,  increases
                    and or  reductions,  to the one time and  recurring  monthly
                    Charges   applicable   for  support  of  the  Charles  River
                    application.

               i.   Franklin Vendor Charges and Fees

                    Franklin will:

                    1.   be  responsible  for charges  and fees from  Franklin's
                         vendors,  contractors, and carriers when their services
                         are   requested   and/or   authorized  by  Franklin  or
                         Franklin's   designee  in   association   with  the  BR
                         Services; and

                    2.   to the extent that  responsibility  for  management  of
                         Franklin's third party vendor relationships relating to
                         BR  Services  have  not  been  assumed  by IBM in  this
                         Agreement,   be  responsible  for  any  failure  and/or
                         performance  problems by Franklin's vendors (other than
                         IBM), contractors or carriers contracted by Franklin or
                         its designee  which affect IBM's  performance of the BR
                         Services.

               j.   SRDF Transition Services

                    1.   IBM will provide BR Services  Transition  to modify the
                         currently   implemented   Rapid  Recovery  Solution  to
                         accommodate  EMC's Symmetrix  Remote Data Facility (the
                         "SRDF Transition  Services") for up to seven (7) of the
                         Serviced Applications listed in Table 3.7(j) below at a
                         discounted  one-time  Transition  Charge  calculated as
                         follows:  IBM will  discount  the  one-time  Transition
                         Charge for such elected Serviced Applications by twenty
                         (20) percent however,  should IBM and Franklin mutually
                         agree to perform the SRDF Transition Services for three
                         (3) or more Serviced Applications  simultaneously,  the
                         one-time  Transition Charge for the applicable

FRANKLIN AMENDMENT FINAL.DOC                                  AMENDMENT NUMBER 5


                         Serviced   Applications   will  be   discounted   an
                         additional three (3) percent.  Applicable  discounts
                         will be  mutually  agreed  pursuant  to the  Service
                         Request   Process  and   documented   in  a  Service
                         Authorization. This discount will be applied against
                         the one-time Transition Charges. IBM represents that
                         the scope of effort  estimated  shall be  reasonable
                         under the  circumstances  and shall be consistent in
                         fees  with   similar   projects   for  IBM   clients
                         requesting similar services.  IBM shall certify,  if
                         requested  by  Franklin,  via its Vice  President of
                         Business  Recovery and  Continuity  Services that it
                         has met this  requirement.  Franklin  shall  have no
                         additional   audit   rights   under   this   Section
                         3.7(j)(1).  The methodology  used for calculation of
                         the  Transition  Charges  specified  in this section
                         3.7(j)(1)  shall be based upon the Hourly  Rates set
                         forth in Exhibit  C-1  blended to give an average of
                         all hours  purchased,  minus the discounts set forth
                         in  this  section   3.7(j)(1).   There  will  be  no
                         adjustment to the recurring  monthly charges for the
                         applications   in  Table  3.7j  that   receive  SRDF
                         Transition Services unless such a change is mutually
                         agreed upon in a Service  Authorization  as a result
                         of  additional  changes  other than SRDF  Transition
                         Services (i.e. hardware configurations,  complexity,
                         other new requirements, etc.).

                    2.   Franklin  accepts  that the BR Services  Transition  is
                         complete for the Serviced  Applications listed in Table
                         3.7j below and any  subsequent  requirements  to modify
                         Rapid  Recovery  Solutions  will  be  handled  via  the
                         Service  Request Process and will be priced at the time
                         of the request  pursuant to Section  3.7(d) and Section
                         3.7(j) (1), as applicable.  For the discounts set forth
                         in Section 3.7(j) (1) to apply,  Franklin must initiate
                         a Service Request for each elected Serviced Application
                         requesting  such  change  for  each  elected   Serviced
                         Application  by December 31, 2004 or at such date which
                         is mutually agreeable by the Parties. Additionally, the
                         Parties  must  mutually  agree and  execute the Service
                         Authorization   for  such   Service   Request   by  the
                         expiration  date of the  Service  Authorization,  which
                         shall not be unreasonably withheld by IBM.

                    3.   Any changes to hardware configurations or complexity of
                         the  applications  are not subject to the  discount set
                         forth in Section 3.7(j) (1).
