REBATE CALCULATIONS AND PAYMENTS: Rebates will be paid in the form of a
Microsoft Purchase Credit forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarterly
Rebate Period (i.e. November 15th for the July - September, 1996 quarter).
Rebates are calculated by multiplying the achieved Rebate percentage by the
total Qualified Sales for the Rebate Period. Revenue generated from Microsoft
Select Enrollment Forms executed by MS on or after July 1, 1994, shall be
included in calculating CUSTOMER's achievement toward the Sales-out goal, but
shall not be included in CUSTOMER's final total Qualified Sales for purposes of
Rebate payment. Revenue generated from Microsoft Select Enrollment Forms
executed by MS prior to July 1, 1994 will be included in calculating CUSTOMER's
achievement towards the sales-out goal and will also be eligible for a
Grandfathered rebate. Rebate payment for such Select Enrollment Forms shall be
in the form of a purchase credit forty-five (45) days after the end of each
quarterly Rebate Period.

PURCHASES THROUGH DISTRIBUTION: CUSTOMER's full packaged product and MLP
purchases through distribution will be subtracted from CUSTOMER's Qualified
Sales for purposes of Rebate payment.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY: If Microsoft is unable to ship a CURRENT VERSION of a
product for any ten (10) consecutive business days, CUSTOMER's purchases
through distribution of those SKUs will count toward CUSTOMER's Qualified Sales
for purchases of Rebate payment.

All copies of eligible purchase orders placed through distribution along with a
copy of the Microsoft Stock Out Report must be sent to Microsoft no later than
fifteen (15) days following the quarter end. Please send purchase order copies
and the Microsoft Stock Out Report to the following address:

ACHIEVEMENT REBATE PAYMENT: The Microsoft Achievement Rebate will be calculated
on a monthly basis. If CUSTOMER has met all of the Achievement Rebate criteria
in a given month, CUSTOMER will be entitled to    *    of that month's total
Qualified Sales. The Rebate payment will be made forty-five (45) days after the
end of each quarterly Rebate Period.

ANY ISSUES REGARDING REBATES SHOULD BE SENT IN WRITING TO KRISTIN WEEBER,
MARKETING MANAGER, NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF REBATE
PAYMENT. If such written notice is not provided within thirty (30) days,
CUSTOMER shall have no further right to dispute Rebate payment.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          ACHIEVEMENT REBATE PROGRAM
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The objective of the Achievement Rebate Program is to
provide incentive for CUSTOMER to comply with Microsoft contractual
requirements for payments, Street Dates, reporting, and EDI ordering for Select
3.0.

ACHIEVEMENT: During any given month, failure to achieve any or all of the
current Achievement criteria will result in the forfeiture of the entire
Achievement Rebate for that month. In any month CUSTOMER has already forfeited
its Achievement Rebate, and violates one or more of the Achievement Rebate
criteria, MS reserves the right to withhold any or a portion of CUSTOMER's
other available Rebate.

1.       MICROSOFT PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS

Microsoft requires its customers to pay its invoices within terms. In order to
maintain compliance, one hundred percent (100%) of the gross invoice value
for non-Select and eighty-five (85%) of the gross invoice value for Select
must be current as of Microsoft's fiscal month-end. Additionally, no greater
than one percent (1%) of the gross value for Select invoices shall be past net
60 days. Unapplied credits will be excluded from the calculation.

2.       MICROSOFT STREET DATE REQUIREMENTS

From time to time, Microsoft may announce a new product or new versions of an
existing product for which Microsoft shall set a Street Date. In order to
comply with the Street Date requirements, CUSTOMER shall not:

     - Ship or deliver the product to any end-user customer prior to the Street
       Date. 
     - Accept any end user payment for the product prior to the Street Date.
       Checks and/or credit card numbers may be accepted by CUSTOMER, but can 
       only be processed when product is delivered to the end user on or after 
       the Street Date. 
     - Advertise, merchandise, or promote the product to end user customers
       until it is officially announced by Microsoft. Usually, the product
       announcement is on the Street Date. If the product announcement is 
       earlier than the Street Date, Microsoft will clearly communicate the 
       announce date to the channel. If product is announced by Microsoft 
       before the Street Date, the product can be advertised, merchandised 
       and/or promoted immediately after such announcement, provided that all 
       such promotions clearly state that the product is not yet available for 
       purchase. 
     - Allow it's distribution centers and/or warehouses to distribute, for a 
       period of up to twelve months, a Street Date product to any individual 
       sales office, retail store, or outlet which Microsoft in its sole 
       discretion has determined to be in violation of the Street Date 
       Requirements.

In the event CUSTOMER violates the Street Date for any special products
specified in a Microsoft Street Date letter, CUSTOMER shall forfeit up to the
entire Achievement Rebate for the six month Rebate Period in which the
violation occurred.

Should CUSTOMER fail to comply with the Street Date Requirements,
Microsoft may also, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, withhold
shipments to CUSTOMER of future product until the Street Date of such product.

Should CUSTOMER wish to report a Street Date violation, CUSTOMER may fax a copy
of a dated sales receipt to STREET DATE VIOLATIONS AT MICROSOFT AT (206)
936-7329. Once a violation has been reported, Microsoft shall investigate the
violation, and take remedial action as appropriate. Please note, in order to
confirm a suspected violation, Microsoft must receive a dated sales receipt.

3. MICROSOFT SELECT TRANSACTION REQUIREMENTS

Electronic Data Interchange format ("EDI") transactions are defined as 850/855
EDI transactions. CUSTOMER must place EDI transaction orders at a minimum of
once per month per Enrollment Site if product is purchased during said month.

                           SALES-OUT REBATE PROGRAMS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: The objective of all Sales-out Rebate Programs is to
increase the sales of Microsoft products. All license types (Select, Microsoft
Open License, Full Package Product, MLPs) are included in measuring performance
against this goal, however, the Rebate is paid on full packaged product sales
only.

REBATE GOALS: CUSTOMER has first quarter Sales-out goals and total Semester
Sales-out goals. CUSTOMER's performance for the first three months of the July
- - December, 1996, semester will be measured against the first quarter Sales-out
goals. At the end of the first quarter, CUSTOMER will receive the percentage of
the eligible Rebates earned based on performance against the first quarter
goals. At the end of the Semester, CUSTOMER will be measured on their six-month
performance against the total Semester goals. Even if CUSTOMER does not meet
one hundred percent (100%) of the first quarter goals, CUSTOMER can still
achieve one hundred percent (100%) of the Semester goals provided that the
Semester goals are met at the end of the Rebate Period.

SALES-OUT DEFINITIONS/MEASUREMENT: MS Product Sales-out is defined as those MS
net Product units sold through CUSTOMER's outlet locations. CUSTOMER's full
packaged product, Microsoft Open License, and upgrade sales-out units will be
measured from the sales-out reported by CUSTOMER to MS. Licensing sales
(Select, Microsoft Maintenance) are captured and generated by MS' financial
systems and included in total sales-out used to measure product sales-out
Rebate performance.

Any Microsoft Select 2.x and 1.x and Microsoft Maintenance revenue credit is
granted as MS recognizes the revenue. This occurs when MS has received the
customer's license reporting. Following receipt of reporting, MS bills the
customer/reseller and simultaneously recognizes the revenue.

PAYMENT: At the end of the Semester, CUSTOMER will be paid Sales-out Rebates
based on performance against the Semester goals. If CUSTOMER achieves greater
than sixty percent (60%) of each Semester Sales-out goal, CUSTOMER will
receive the exact achieved percentage of the eligible Sales-out Rebate up to
one hundred percent (100%). If CUSTOMER achieves less than sixty percent
(60%) of any Sales-out Rebate goal, CUSTOMER will not receive any portion of
that Sales-out Rebate.

Although MS pays the Sales-out Rebate ultimately based on performance against
the Semester Sales-out goal, Microsoft also pays a Sales-out Rebate at the end
of the first quarter based on performance against the first quarter goal.
Microsoft pays a portion of the Rebate after the first quarter to provide
incentive for CUSTOMER to focus on Sales-out throughout the entire Semester.
The scale for the first quarter payment is the same as the scale for the
semester payment. The first quarter payment amount will be subtracted from the
final semester payment for the Sales-out Rebate.

Example: If CUSTOMER has a quarterly total Sales out goal of $1,000,000 and a
Semester total Sales out goal $2,500,000, and CUSTOMER sells $800,000 over the
first quarter period and $2,600,000 over the entire Semester period, CUSTOMER
will receive the following Rebate payments:
