           only employees and third parties whose duties give them a need to
           know such Proprietary Information of the other Party shall have
           access thereto. All such persons and entities shall be obligated to
           treat the same as proprietary and confidential and the receiving
           Party shall take such other measures to protect the confidentiality
           of such Proprietary Information. Without limiting the generality of
           the foregoing, each Party shall require any third party to whom it
           discloses any Proprietary Information to sign a confidentiality
           agreement, enforceable by the other Party, whereby such third party
           agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in
           Section 11.2.


      11.4 Required Disclosure. If a Party or any of its employees, shall be
           under a legal obligation in any administrative, governmental or
           judicial circumstance involuntarily to disclose any Proprietary
           Information of the other Party, it shall give the Party that owns
           such Proprietary Information (the "Disclosing Party") prompt notice
           thereof so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate
           protective order. If the Disclosing Party is finally unsuccessful in
           obtaining such protective order and if the Party receiving such
           Proprietary Information (the "Receiving Party") or any such employee
           would, in the opinion of its counsel, be held in contempt or suffer
           other censure or penalty for failure to disclose, disclosure pursuant
           to the order or decree of an administrative, governmental or judicial
           authority with jurisdiction over such Party may be made by the
           Receiving Party or its employees without liability hereunder.


      11.5 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party
           shall be liable to the other with regard to any disclosure of
           Proprietary Information of the other Party which:


           (a)  was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the
                time of disclosure, as shown by the files of the Receiving Party
                in existence at the time of disclosure;


           (b)  is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing
                Party;


           (c)  was independently developed by the Receiving Party, without any
                use of the Proprietary Information and without the assistance of
                any employee or other agents of (or independent contractors
                hired by) the Receiving Party who have been exposed to such
                Proprietary Information;



                                       17



           (d)  becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from
                a source who obtained such information other than through the
                breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or the breach of
                any confidential or fiduciary obligations to the Disclosing
                Party; or


           (e)  is required to be disclosed pursuant to law or in accordance
                with judicial or other governmental order.


      11.6 Remedies. The Parties agree that money damages would not be a
           sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 11 by Receiving
           Party and the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, in addition to
           money damages, to specific performance and injunctive relief and any
           other appropriate equitable remedies for any such breach. Such
           remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a
           breach of this Section 11 by Receiving Party but shall be in addition
           to all other remedies available at law or in equity to Disclosing
           Party. If a court or other authority determines that a Party has
           materially breached its obligations under this Section 11, the other
           Party will be entitled to payment of its legal fees and
           disbursements, court costs and other expenses of enforcing, defending
           or otherwise protecting its interests hereunder.


      11.7 Survival. The obligations of confidentiality and limitations of use,
           disclosure and access set forth herein shall survive the termination
           of this Agreement.

                thereof (including reasonable fees of attorneys and related
                costs), to the extent based on a claim that AMEX's intellectual
                property incorporated into the Co-Branded XMS Service or the
                marketing thereof infringes the patent, copyright, trademark,

                all laws, rules or regulations applicable to AMEX.


      12.3 Indemnification Procedure. If any action shall be brought against
           either Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the
           other Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 ("Claim"),
           the indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party in
           writing, specifying the nature of the Claim, the total monetary
           amount sought, as well as such relief as is sought therein. The
           indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party at the
           indemnifying Party's expense in all reasonable respects in connection
           with the defense of the Claim if by a third party. If the Claim from
           a third party is solely for monetary damages or a claim of
           infringement, the indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to
           the indemnified Party, undertake the defense or settlement of the
           Claim; in all other instances, the indemnified Party, upon written
           notice to the indemnifying Party, may undertake the defense or
           settlement of the Claim. In the event the indemnified Party
           undertakes the defense or settlement of the Claim, the indemnifying
           Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own
           expense and participate in the defense of the Claim. The indemnifying
           Party shall reimburse the indemnified Party upon demand the judgment
           of a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a bona fide
           compromise or settlement of claims, demands or actions and shall
           reimburse the indemnified Party upon demand for any payments of
           attorney's fees and related expenses made by the indemnified Party. A
           Party's failure to give timely notice or to provide copies of
           documents or to furnish relevant data in connection with any claim
           for indemnification shall not constitute a defense (in part or in
           whole) to any claim for indemnification for such Party, except and
           only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice 



                                       19


           to the indemnifying Party; provided, that any such compromise or
           settlement must be approved by the indemnifying Party and any such
           compromise or settlement must be approved by the indemnified Party,
           which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

      this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


14.    GENERAL.


      14.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with any
           exhibits attached hereto, contains the complete and exclusive
           understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to its
           subject matter and supersedes, merges and replaces all prior
           writings, discussions and understandings relating to such subject
           matter. This Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement and
           signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.


      14.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
           accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding those
           laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
           The Parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any State
           or Federal court located in New York County. Neither Party shall
           knowingly take or fail to take any action that might cause it or the
           other Party to be in violation of any law or regulation of the United
           States, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.


      14.3 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure
           to meet its obligations pursuant to this Agreement due to natural
           circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, but not
           limited to war, riots, insurrection, civil commotion, fire, flood,
           storm or inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or
           manufacturing facilities as a direct result of such natural
           disasters.


      14.4 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found to
           be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted
           rather than avoided, if possible, so as best to accomplish the
           objective of the Parties to the extent possible. In any event, the
           remaining terms and provisions shall be deemed valid and enforceable.
           It is

 omitted portions.


                                       20


           expressly understood and agreed that each provision of this Agreement
           providing for a limitation of liability disclaimer or limitation of
           warranties or exclusion of damages is intended by the Parties to be
           severable and independent of any other provisions and to be enforced
           as such.


      14.5  Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and on
            their successors and assigns. Except as expressly provided herein,
            neither Party shall transfer, assign or subcontract any right or
            obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
            Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


      14.6  Waiver. The failure of either Party any time to require performance
            by the other Party of any provision hereof shall not affect in any
            way the full right to require such performance at any time
            thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either Party of a breach of any
            provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision
            itself.


      14.7  Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any suits and actions with respect
            to this Agreement, including actions for indemnification under
            Section 12, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover
            reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in
            resolving such dispute.


      14.8  Cooperation. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to execute and
            deliver all documents and to perform all further acts and to take

            contemplated hereby.


      14.9  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
            of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall
            constitute a single instrument.


      14.10 Notices. All notices relating to this Agreement shall be in writing,
            signed by the Party giving or making such notice or communication
            and shall be delivered by: (a) personal delivery; (b) telecopier

            (a)  In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or
                 relating to this Agreement, the Steering Committee will first
                 attempt in good faith to resolve the matter. If the Steering
                 Committee is unable to resolve such matter, the Parties will
                 attempt in good faith to resolve such matter by negotiations
                 between senior executives of the Parties who have settlement
                 authority but do not have direct responsibility for the
                 administration of this Agreement. [*]. All negotiations
                 conducted pursuant to this Section 14.11 are confidential and

                 adjudicating disputes between the Parties arising out of or
                 relating to this Agreement; provided that nothing in this
                 Section 14.11 shall prevent a Party from applying to the

                 resolution of the dispute through the voluntary dispute
                 resolution procedures set forth herein and to join in any such

            other. Neither Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate
            the other in any manner.

                 Service. All insurance policies required hereunder shall
                 contain a provision stating the name and address of AMEX and
                 that AMEX is to be notified in writing by the insurer at least

            owned by the other Party or Affiliates of the other Party shall be

                    DESCRIPTION OF THE CO-BRANDED XMS SERVICE

The Co-Branded XMS Service is an Internet travel expense management outsourcing
solution that automates the entire travel expense management process - from
expense report preparation and approval to processing and data analysis. The
Co-Branded XMS Service is powered by the Xpense Management Solution - a software
developed and owned by Concur -- and the hardware, application, operations, and
Internet connections are hosted by a third party web hosting partner. Automated
web reporting and payment services are optionally available.

The Co-Branded XMS Service is based on the XMS version 3.01 and includes the
Exclusive Features developed from time to time in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement.

                               EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

Proposal for Exclusive Integration Features
================================================================================

OBJECTIVE:

AMEX and Concur wish to provide AXP/XMS Customers with a set of exclusive
features (identified in the body of this Agreement as the "Exclusive Features")
for the Co-Branded XMS Service which will enhance the relationship, provide
competitive advantage for the RTS value proposition, and position the joint
offering as the market leading solution.

APPROACH:

-        This document proposes "rolling exclusivity" for these features, i.e.
         available only to AMEX Clients for a specific period of time described
         in the Agreement following general release. This document proposes the
         first set of features governed by rolling exclusivity. The feature set
         was developed jointly by AMEX and Concur.

-        [*]

-        The proposal follows the guiding principle to implement exclusive
         features; neither party will remove functionality that is currently
         available.

-        The proposal addresses product integration between Concur and AMEX
         products and services. It does not recommend integrating efforts for
         the business relationship (e.g. implementation, pricing, resource
         sharing).

-        This draft includes a matrix of proposed features. Potential
         availability of features, impact on the current feature integration
         plans, and requirements, which are external to Concur, have not yet
         been identified.

                                    EXHIBIT D

              Lead Referral Compensation Payable By AMEX to Concur

The following are the terms and conditions for payment to Concur in connection
with lead referrals to AMEX of entities that have an actual business
relationship with Concur for the provisions of a service or product similar to
the Co-Branded XMS Service and which are interested in the American Express(R)
Corporate Card system and the American Express Business Travel Account program
(such entities, a "Potential Client"). All applications are subject to AMEX
approval.

Concur may, in writing and containing such information as AMEX shall reasonably
require from time to time, refer to AMEX a Potential Client for purposes of
AMEX's solicitation of such Potential Client for applications for a new
Corporate Card account ("Corporate Card Account")or new Business Travel Account
("BTA"). AMEX will approve or reject such referrals in accordance with
procedures it establishes from time to time. AMEX may, in its sole option,
choose or decide not to solicit such Potential Client.

If, during the term of the Agreement, AMEX establishes a new Corporate Card
Account or new BTA with a Potential Client which conforms with the conditions
set forth below (a "Qualified Lead"), AMEX agrees to pay Concur a [*] in
accordance with the terms set forth below.

In order for a referred Potential Client to be deemed a Qualified Client, all of
the following conditions must be satisfied:


                                      [*]


*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the
 Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the
 omitted portions.



If all of the preceding conditions are satisfied, then the Potential Client will
be considered a "Qualified Client" hereunder and thereby qualify Concur for the
following one-time incentive fee with respect to each Qualified Client that
establishes a new Corporate Card Account with AMEX:



                                                          
                                      [*]



Also during such term, Concur will be entitled to a [*] fee of [*] for each
Qualified Client that establishes a new BTA.

Any incentive fee payable by AMEX will be based on the BTA or Corporate Card
Account as it exists three (3) months following the actual setup of the
respective account.

                             DATA SECURITY AGREEMENT


This Data Security Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between
AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC. ("Amexco") and CONCUR
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly known as Portable Software Corporation), a
Washington corporation ("Service Organization").

Amexco hereby agrees to supply, and provide Service Organization with access to,
data (hereinafter referred to as "Files") containing proprietary information of
Amexco, and/or its parent company, subsidiaries and affiliates from time to time
to the Service Organization subject to the following terms and conditions.

I.                                     [*]




*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with
 the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the

                                      [*]


II.      CONFIDENTIALITY

         Service Organization understands and agrees that information furnished
         through the Files shall be considered confidential, shall not be
         communicated to Service Organization's employees except on a "need to
         know" basis, shall not be used for any purpose except in connection
         with the specific job for which it was supplied, and shall not be
         disclosed for any purpose to third parties by Service Organization,
         other than those third parties listed in Addendum A.

         Service Organization understands that all information contained in the
         Files must be strictly safeguarded and protected from unauthorized use
         or dissemination by it, its employees or any of the third parties
         listed in Addendum A. Accordingly, Service Organization will take all
         or any actions necessary to safeguard all or any data contained in the
         Files, and will indemnify Amexco for any loss or misuse of data by its
         employees or the third parties listed in Addendum A. Service
         Organization agrees that if there is any disclosure of the information
         in the Files, by its employees or the employees of any of the third
         parties listed in Addendum A, it will enforce for Amexco's benefit
         through litigation, if necessary, all rights provided under law to
         compensate Amexco for any damages arising out of such disclosure and to
         protect Amexco from additional disclosure. Service Organization also
         agrees to pay for all costs reasonably incurred to enforce this
         Agreement including, but not limited to, all attorney's fees and court
         costs.

         Service Organization further agrees that (i) any printed material
         containing information from the Files, which is not returned to Amexco,
         will be shredded or otherwise destroyed in a manner which will prevent
         reconstruction; (ii) neither external nor internal labels, nor other
         identifiers for House Files, computer systems, or computer programs,
         will contain any references, abbreviated or otherwise, to American
         Express; (iii) all media, other than printed media, on which the Files
         are contained will be returned to the appropriate Amexco office within
         7 business days of receipt.

         Upon the completion or termination of a job, with the exception of
         Files specified as exceptions per the stipulations in condition 5 of
         this Agreement, Service Organization will immediately eliminate from
         its House Files all information extracted from the Files. Upon the
         expiration or termination of this Agreement, Service Organization will
         immediately eliminate from its possession all information belonging to
         Amexco. The method of such elimination will be at the discretion of
         Amexco's Data Security Department.
