                 ship IBM Product(s).

     1.3        "Distributors" are any business entities you use to distribute
                 Your Product(s).

     1.4        "End User" is a party unaffiliated with you and who acquires IBM
                 Product(s) from you for internal use, and not for
                 redistribution.

     1.5        "IBM Product(s)" is the IBM Software Product(s) listed in the
                 attached Exhibits.

     1.6        "Level 1 Service" shall mean the service provided in response to
                 the initial phone call placed by an End User which identifies
                 and documents an error in the IBM Product(s). This includes
                 problem source identification assistance, problem analysis,
                 problem resolution, installation planning information and

     1.7        "Level 2 Service" shall mean the service provided to analyze or
                 reproduce the error or to determine that the error is not
                 reproducible. This includes problem recreation and in-depth

                 error correction or circumvention or notification that no
                 correction or circumvention is available.

     1.9        "Proof of Entitlement" is the confirmation from us to the End
                 User of the levels of authorized use of the Product by the End

                 End-Users which prohibits the use of the IBM Product(s) except

                 specify the IBM Product(s) for which a Restricted License
                 applies.

     We agree to:

     2.1         provide you golden master copies for the IBM Product(s) listed

                 releases may vary.

                 Your Product(s) to us at no charge in order to provide this
                 service .

3.0  OUR MUTUAL REPRESENTATIONS

     3.4         that failure by either of us to insist on strict performance or
                 to exercise a right when entitled, does not prevent us from
                 doing so at a later time, either in relation to that default or

          such claims and all related settlement negotiations.

          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

     9.   Royalty Calculation and Payment Requirements:

          a) CrossWorlds will pay IBM royalty payments on sales of CrossWorlds
          products bundled with MQSI as described in Section 2, to Customer
          Categories (5) and (6) based on implementation schedules of Phase (1),
          (2)a, and (2)b. Definitions of Customer Categories and Implementation
          Phases are listed below:

Customer Category:
- ----------------

     1.   Customers who have already bought CrossWorlds and who order additional
          copies or versions of CrossWorlds InterChange Server without MQSI. A
          small list of customers (reference Attachment I of this Transaction
          Document) registered by CrossWorlds at the time of contract with IBM
          and where CrossWorlds will close without IBM, (and may even be in
          competition with IBM). No customers allowed in this category in Phase
          2.
     2.   CrossWorlds prospective customers to whom CrossWorlds has already
          quoted a price at time of this contract who in CrossWorlds discretion
          are not being switched to MQSI based offering. Small list of customers
          in this category registered by CrossWorlds at the time of contract
          with IBM and where CrossWorlds will close without IBM, (and may even
          be in competition with IBM). Again no customers allowed in this
          category in Phase 2.
     3.   Customers who already have (or have contracted for) an unrestricted
          license to IBM MQSI and now propose to use it with CrossWorlds
          solution.
     4.   Prospective customers who CrossWorlds has identified to IBM as
          requiring "full", unrestricted MQSI license, (e.g. because they intend
          to use it for something other than CrossWorlds solution as well), and
          such customer has purchased MQSI from IBM by the time CrossWorlds
          starts implementing the Offering.
     5.   Customers with custom- or legacy-to-package integration requirement
          (where CrossWorlds sees MQSI as the appropriate technology to provide
          Phase 1 solution) who are not covered by Categories 3 or 4.
     6.   Customers with package-to-package only integration requirement, (where
          MQSI may or may not be part of the solution during Phase 1) who are
          not covered by Categories 3 or 4.

Phase 1: Starts with signing of this Transaction Document, and ends 12/31/99 or
- -------
MQSI Version 2 General Availability + 2 weeks, whichever is the later date.
