Pursuant to the terms and subject to the\n           conditions of this Agreement, in consideration for the sale,\n           transfer, conveyance, and assignment of the Assets, BEA agrees to pay\n           to NCR the following purchase price (the \"Purchase Price\"):  Ninety-\n           Two Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($92,400,000), payable at\n           the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in\n           accordance with the wire transfer instructions delivered to BEA by\n           NCR no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing.\n\n     5.2.  ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE.  Within ninety (90) days following the\n           Closing Date, BEA will provide to NCR an allocation statement (the\n           \"Asset Allocation Statement\") with BEA's proposed allocation of the\n           aggregate consideration payable pursuant to Section 5.1 among the\n           Assets.  Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such Asset\n           Allocation Statement, NCR will propose to BEA any changes to such\n           Asset Allocation Statement (and in the event no such changes are\n           proposed in writing to BEA within such time period, NCR will be\n           deemed to have agreed to, and accepted, the Asset Allocation\n           Statement).  NCR and BEA will endeavor in good faith to resolve any\n           differences with respect to the Asset Allocation Statement within\n           fifteen (15) days after BEA's receipt of written notice of objection\n           from NCR.\n\n\n \n                                       16\n\n           5.2.1.  Subject to Sections 5.2.2., the parties hereto agree (i) to\n                   use the allocations set forth in the Asset Allocation\n                   Statement provided by BEA to NCR pursuant to Section 5.2.\n                   above, for accounting, financial reporting and Tax purposes;\n                   (ii) that such allocations shall be in accordance with, and\n                   as provided by, Section 1060 of the Tax Code; and (iii) that\n                   any Tax returns or other Tax information they may file or\n                   cause to be filed with any Governmental Authority or fiscal\n                   intermediary shall be prepared and filed consistently with\n                   such allocation. The parties agree that, to the extent\n                   required, they will each properly and timely file Form 8594\n                   in accordance with Section 1060 of the Tax Code.\n\n           5.2.2.  If NCR withholds its consent, in the manner and within the\n                   time period specified in Section 5.2, to the allocation\n                   reflected in the Asset Allocation Statement, and NCR and BEA\n                   have acted in good faith to resolve any differences with\n                   respect to items on the Asset Allocation Statement and\n                   thereafter are unable to resolve any differences that, in the\n                   aggregate, are material, then any remaining disputed matters\n                   will be finally and conclusively determined by an independent\n                   accounting firm of recognized national standing (the\n                   \"Allocation Arbiter\") selected by NCR and BEA, which firm\n                   shall not be the regular accounting firm of NCR or BEA.\n                   Promptly, but not later than fifteen (15) days after its\n                   acceptance of appointment hereunder, the Allocation Arbiter\n                   will determine (based solely on presentations by NCR and BEA\n                   and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute\n                   and will render a written report as to the disputed matters\n                   and the resulting allocation of Purchase Price, which report\n                   shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. NCR and BEA\n                   shall share equally in all costs attributable to the review\n                   and determination by the Allocation Arbiter.\n\n     5.3.  SALES OR USE TAXES.  All sales, use and other similar Taxes, charges\n           and fees, if any, arising out of or in connection with the\n           transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any income,\n           capital gains and other similar Taxes, charges and fees imposed on,\n           or imposed in respect of, the income or gain of NCR), shall be paid\n           by BEA.  Each of the parties shall cooperate with the other to the\n           extent reasonably required and permitted by Applicable Law in order\n           to eliminate or minimize any such Tax.  Without limiting the\n           foregoing, to the extent any such Tax is imposed, NCR shall prepare\n           and file any required Tax returns in connection therewith and BEA\n           shall pay and promptly discharge when due the entire amount of any\n           such Tax.\n\n\n \n                                       17\n\n6.   ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS; COVENANTS\n\n     6.1.  CONSENTS\n\n           6.1.1.  OBTAINING CONSENTS. NCR will use all commercially reasonably\n                   efforts to obtain any Consent required to assign all Assumed\n                   Contracts and complete all other transfers and transactions\n                   contemplated by this Agreement at NCR's sole expense. NCR\n                   will provide BEA with prompt written notice of the effective\n                   date of the assignment of any Assumed Contract assigned to\n                   BEA after the Closing Date and with a copy of each such\n                   Assumed Contract.\n\n           6.1.2.  ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENT. In the event and to the extent that\n                   NCR is unable to obtain any such Consent, or if any attempted\n                   assignment or novation would be ineffective or would\n                   restrain, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the effective\n                   operation or enjoyment by BEA of all or any material portion\n                   of the Assets or with the effective transfer of the\n                   Transferred Employees as contemplated hereby, NCR will\n                   reasonably cooperate with BEA, to the extent permitted by\n                   law, in a reasonable arrangement under which BEA would, to\n                   the fullest extent possible, obtain the benefits and assume\n                   the obligations with respect to such Asset, in accordance\n                   with this Agreement, and nothing contained herein or in any\n                   Related Agreements shall be construed to have assigned any\n                   such non-assignable contract or agreement.\n\n     6.2.  HSR FILING.\n\n           6.2.1.  FILING OF NOTIFICATION AND REPORT FORM. Each party hereto\n                   agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and\n                   Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the\n                   transactions contemplated hereby within five (5) business\n                   days of the date hereof and to supply promptly any additional\n                   information and documentary material that may be requested\n                   pursuant to the HSR Act. Each party shall pay its own costs\n                   in connection with the preparation and filing thereof, and\n                   the parties shall each pay one-half of the filing fee in\n                   connection therewith.\n\n           6.2.2.  ADDITIONAL ACTIONS. Each party shall take such actions as in\n                   its sole judgment are appropriate to eliminate any concerns\n                   on the part of any Governmental Authority over the\n                   enforcement of applicable antitrust laws regarding the\n                   legality of the consummation of the transactions contemplated\n                   hereby under\n\n\n \n                                       18\n\n                   any antitrust law; provided, however, that notwithstanding\n                   the foregoing, neither party shall be required hereunder to\n                   appeal any injunction, to divest any of its assets or to take\n                   any other specific step which in its sole judgment would not\n                   be in its best interest under the circumstances in order to\n                   eliminate such concerns.\n\n     6.3.  NO COMPETING PRODUCTS.\n\n           6.3.1.  MIDDLEWARE STAND ALONE PRODUCTS. During the ten (10)-year\n                   period commencing on the Closing Date, NCR shall not,\n                   directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate\n                   thereof, whether existing now or in the future), develop or\n                   have developed for or on behalf of NCR or any of its\n                   Affiliates enterprise middleware Computer Programs having the\n                   same or substantially similar features as that of the\n                   Software for license or sale by or on behalf of NCR or any of\n                   its Affiliates as an independent, stand-alone product (i.e.,\n                   a product not licensed or sold as a component or part of, or\n                   otherwise embedded in, a substantial additional program).\n\n           6.3.2.  MIDDLEWARE EMBEDDED PRODUCTS. During the five (5)-year period\n                   commencing on the Closing Date, NCR shall not, directly or\n                   indirectly (including through any Affiliate thereof, whether\n                   existing now or in the future), develop or have developed for\n                   or on behalf of NCR or any of its Affiliates enterprise\n                   middleware Computer Programs having the same or substantially\n                   similar features as that of the Software for license or sale\n                   by or on behalf of NCR or any of its Affiliates as a\n                   component or part of, or otherwise embedded in, a substantial\n                   additional program offered or sold by NCR.\n\n           6.3.3.  For purposes of clarification only, and without limiting the\n                   restrictions on competing products set forth in paragraphs\n                   6.3.1 and 6.3.2, NCR and BEA agree that NCR shall have the\n                   right to continue to develop and have developed (a)\n                   middleware enterprise Computer Programs (other than the\n                   Software) which are included on NCR's published price list,\n                   or for which the development is substantially complete, as of\n                   the Closing Date, provided that such Computer Programs do not\n                   come to have the same or substantially similar features as\n                   that of the Software, and (b) Computer Programs which are\n                   solely designed to effect the integration of an NCR product\n                   offering that is not in violation of this paragraph 6.3 with\n                   other generally \n\n\n \n                                       19\n\n                   commercially available enterprise middleware Computer\n                   Programs.\n\n     6.4.  EXISTING TOP END CUSTOMERS, ISVS, AND BUSINESS PARTNERS.  In addition\n           to carrying out NCR's obligations under the Assumed Contracts as\n           provided under Section 4, BEA will, to the extent commercially\n           reasonable and to the extent the Assumed Contracts pertaining to\n           NCR's obligations have been provided to BEA, continue to support all\n           NCR Software sales promotions, solutions, customers, ISVs, channel\n           partners and business partners for the duration of all contractual\n           obligations under the Assumed Contracts.  To the best of NCR's\n           knowledge, Schedule 6.4 sets forth a true and complete list of all\n           NCR Software customers, ISVs, channel partners and business partners.\n           In addition, BEA will, to the extent commercially reasonable,\n           continue to support all current and older versions of the Software\n           product family in a manner consistent with BEA's standard policies,\n           including end-of-life policies and practices.\n\n     6.5.  TOP END PRODUCT ROADMAP.  Promptly following the Closing Date, BEA\n           shall issue a press release substantially in the form attached hereto\n           as Exhibit V, announcing BEA's commitment to the development of the\n           Successor Software, which will merge BEA's TUXEDO and the Software\n           and will serve as the basis for BEA's future product offering.  BEA\n           agrees that the Software product family will be integrated into the\n           Successor Software such that, to the extent commercially reasonable,\n           the Successor Software will be a functional \"super-set\" to what\n           TUXEDO offers and to what the Software offers.  The Software features\n           and interfaces (including enhancements and modifications thereto\n           developed pursuant to the Consulting Agreement) will be supported and\n           offered in the Successor Software.  BEA will provide a reasonable\n           migration path for customers using the Software to the Successor\n           Software.  In the event that BEA does not provide Successor Software\n           that is generally commercially available and available to NCR under\n           the Distribution Agreement within two (2) years after the Closing\n           Date, NCR shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or\n           remedies it may have, to require BEA to continue to maintain the\n           Software as a viable and competitive product until the Successor\n           Software becomes generally commercially available and available to\n           NCR under the Distribution Agreement.  From and after the date on\n           which the Successor Software becomes generally commercially\n           available, BEA shall maintain the Successor Software on BEA's general\n           price list for a period of 18 months thereafter.\n\n     6.6.  SUBSEQUENT TOP END PRODUCT RELEASES.  BEA shall produce release 3.0\n           of the Software under the Consulting Agreement and subsequent\n           maintenance releases and\/or patches, as required.  BEA agrees to sell\n\n\n \n                                       20\n\n           through its sales force TOP END release 2.05 until the earlier to\n           occur of (a) the date 18 months after it is made generally available,\n           (b) the date it is replaced by the Successor Software, or (c) the\n           date of the next release of the Software.\n\n     6.7.  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  NCR agrees that, at any time after the Closing\n           Date, upon the request of BEA, it will do, execute, acknowledge and\n           deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and\n           delivered, all such further acknowledgments, deeds, assignments,\n           bills of sale, transfers, conveyances, instruments, consents and\n           assurances as may reasonably be required for the better assigning,\n           transferring, granting, conveying, assuring and confirming to BEA,\n           its successors and assigns, the transfers contemplated by this\n           Agreement.\n\n     6.8.

NCR shall (a) cause the business operations\n                   related to the Assets to be conducted in the ordinary course\n                   consistent with past practice, (b) use commercially\n                   reasonably efforts to preserve intact the relevant business,\n                   properties and organization with respect thereto in all\n                   material respects, (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to\n                   maintain the Physical Assets in good operating condition and\n                   repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and (d) use\n                   commercially reasonable efforts to preserve for the benefit\n                   of BEA the goodwill of customers, vendors and others having\n                   business relations with it related to the Assets; and\n\n           6.8.2.  DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. NCR shall: (a) not sell or dispose of\n                   any of the Assets, except in the ordinary course of business\n                   consistent with past practice, (b) use commercially\n                   reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of any event or\n                   condition which may have a Material Adverse Effect or would\n                   restrain, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the effective\n                   operation or enjoyment by BEA of all or any material portion\n                   of the Assets or with the effective transfer of the\n                   Transferred Employees as contemplated hereby, and (c) not\n                   enter into any agreement, in writing or otherwise, that would\n                   result in a breach either of the foregoing covenants.\n\n     6.9.  UPDATED SCHEDULES.  NCR shall promptly disclose in writing to BEA any\n           information contained in its representations and warranties or any of\n           the Schedules hereto which, because of an event occurring after the\n           date of this Agreement, is incomplete or is no longer correct as of\n           all times \n\n\n \n                                       21\n\n           after the Execution Date and until the Closing Date. Any such\n           disclosure shall be in the form of an updated Schedule, marked to\n           reflect the new or amended information. In the event that NCR makes\n           any such disclosure prior to the Closing and the Closing occurs, such\n           disclosure shall be deemed to amend and supplement the\n           representations and warranties and the applicable Schedule hereto,\n           and BEA shall have the right to be indemnified with respect to such\n           representations and warranties, and the applicable Schedule thereto\n           as so amended and supplemented, but not with respect to any prior\n           representation and warranty which has been amended, deleted or\n           superseded as a result of such new or amended information. Nothing\n           contained in this Section 6.9 shall be construed as changing any\n           party's right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 13.\n\n     6.10. NOTICE OF CERTAIN MATTERS.  NCR shall give prompt written notice to\n           BEA, and BEA shall give prompt written notice to NCR, of any failure\n           of NCR or BEA, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any\n           covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by\n           it hereunder.\n\n     6.11. WAIVER AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS.  NCR shall use its reasonable\n           best efforts to deliver to BEA on or before the Closing Date a copy\n           of a Waiver and Confidentiality Agreement, in a form reasonably\n           acceptable to BEA (the \"Waiver and Confidentiality Agreement\"),\n           executed by each of the NCR employees, agents or consultants listed\n           in Schedule 6.11 hereto.\n\n     6.12.

Each party shall preserve\n           such books and records as necessary to support tax returns of the\n           other party relating to the Assets or the Transferred Employees and\n           to notify the other party prior to destruction of any such records\n           relating to periods prior to the Closing if the destruction thereof\n           is scheduled to occur within five (5) years after the Closing Date,\n           and the other party shall be permitted, upon reasonable written\n           notice, to take possession of such records at its sole expense.\n           Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any\n           attorney-client, work-product or joint-defense privilege.\n\n\n \n                                       22\n\n7.

NCR hereby grants to BEA a non-\n           exclusive, royalty free license to use, commencing on the Closing\n           Date, the NCR House Marks in connection with BEA's marketing,\n           distribution and licensing of the Software, the Documentation, and\n           modifications thereto, and goods and services related to the\n           Software, subject to the following:  (i) the NCR House Marks may be\n           used in a manner and with materials that have been reviewed and\n           approved by NCR in writing prior to such use, which approval shall\n           not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) such\n           usage shall be in accordance with NCR's then-current trademark usage\n           policies as provided and updated by NCR.  The license to BEA to the\n           NCR House Marks shall expire, without any further actions by the\n           parties hereto, upon the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the\n           Closing Date or (y) termination of this Agreement, the Distribution\n           Agreement or the Consulting Agreement due to a breach or default by\n           BEA of its obligations thereunder.\n\n     7.2.  OWNERSHIP OF TRADEMARKS.  Subject to the non-exclusive license in the\n           NCR House Marks granted herein to BEA, NCR shall own all NCR House\n           Marks and any goodwill which may accrue to such marks as a result of\n           any of the BEA uses of the NCR House Marks licensed thereunder.  BEA\n           shall own the Trademarks transferred herein as part of the Assets,\n           together with all other trademarks, service marks, logos, symbols or\n           identifiers thereafter after the Closing used or developed by BEA\n           (excluding the NCR House Marks) in connection with BEA's use of the\n           Assets.  Subject to BEA's obligations pursuant to Section 7.1, each\n           of NCR and BEA shall be solely responsible for the protection,\n           maintenance and enforcement of their respective trademarks and any\n           registrations or applications therefor.\n\n     7.3.  INTERNAL USE LICENSE TO USER LIST, DOCUMENTATION.   BEA hereby grants\n           to NCR, its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, a non-exclusive, perpetual,\n           paid-up, royalty-free license to use, reproduce and modify the User\n           List and Documentation, provided, however, that such license shall be\n           limited solely to NCR's internal business purposes and shall be\n           perpetual conditioned upon NCR's continuing compliance with its\n           obligations to BEA under Sections 6.3 and 8 of this Agreement.\n\n     7.4.  LICENSE UNDER PATENTS.  NCR hereby grants to BEA, its Affiliates and\n           Subsidiaries, a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable,\n           paid-up, royalty-free license, under any patents which NCR now holds\n           or may acquire in the future, to make, use, modify, and sell or\n           otherwise distribute the Software, or any future versions or\n           modifications thereof, \n\n\n \n                                       23\n\n           whether stand-alone or as incorporated in or bundled with any other\n           software, hardware, firmware, or enhancements.\n\n8.   CONFIDENTIALITY\n\n     8.1.  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  In the course of the performance of this\n           Agreement, NCR and BEA each recognizes that it will obtain, or has\n           prior to the Execution Date obtained, access to the confidential,\n           proprietary, technical, business and operational information of the\n           other, including without limitation the Proprietary Rights (excluding\n           the issued Patents) (the \"Confidential Information\").  Confidential\n           Information includes all terms of the transactions contemplated by\n           this Agreement.\n\n     8.2.  NON-CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Information shall not constitute\n           Confidential Information if:\n\n           8.2.1.  PREVIOUSLY POSSESSED. It is demonstrated to have been in the\n                   possession of the receiving party or available to the\n                   receiving party prior to the disclosure, without any breach\n                   of a duty of confidentiality owed by any party to the\n                   disclosing party;\n\n           8.2.2.  SUBSEQUENTLY OBTAINED. The receiving party rightfully obtains\n                   the Confidential Information without breach of this\n                   Agreement, or any Applicable Laws , from a third party having\n                   no duty of confidentiality to the disclosing party;\n\n           8.2.3.  DEVELOPED. It is independently developed by the receiving\n                   party without use of the Confidential Information; or\n\n           8.2.4.  AUTHORIZED. The disclosing party authorizes in writing the\n                   disclosure of the Confidential Information.\n\n     8.3.  BEA CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  As of the Closing Date, all\n           information disclosed by NCR which becomes or is intended to become\n           the property of BEA by virtue of the transactions contemplated herein\n           constitutes Confidential Information of BEA, as if BEA were the\n           disclosing party therefor.\n\n     8.4.  STANDARD OF CARE.  All Confidential Information shall remain the\n           exclusive property of the disclosing party, and the receiving party\n           may not disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party\n           for any reason without the prior written consent of the disclosing\n           party or make any use of such Confidential Information other than as\n           expressly permitted by or necessary to perform its obligations under\n           this Agreement or the Related Agreements.  The receiving party shall\n           use the same care and discretion, but no less than reasonable care\n           and discretion, \n\n\n \n                                       24\n\n           to avoid disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential\n           Information it has received, as the receiving party employs for\n           similar information of its own which it does not desire to publish,\n           disclose or disseminate, except to those employees, directors, agents\n           and\/or permitted subcontractors of the receiving party who have a\n           need to know in order to exercise the rights granted or retained\n           pursuant to this Agreement and who have agreed in writing to be bound\n           by the confidentiality terms of the Agreement. The receiving party\n           shall be responsible and liable for breaches of confidentiality\n           obligations by its employees, directors, agents and\/or permitted\n           subcontractors.\n\n     8.5.  REQUIRED DISCLOSURE.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this\n           Section 8, if the receiving party is required to disclose any\n           Confidential Information pursuant to legal, accounting or regulatory\n           requirements, the receiving party shall provide to the disclosing\n           party written notice of such required disclosure sufficiently in\n           advance thereof to enable the disclosing party to take reasonable\n           actions to avoid the requirement of disclosure.  Notwithstanding the\n           foregoing, and subject to the prior consent of the other party (such\n           consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), either party\n           shall have the right to disclose the existence and material terms of\n           this Agreement to the extent such party reasonably determines is\n           necessary to comply with stock exchange, securities and other similar\n           disclosure requirements.  The receiving party shall cooperate with\n           all reasonable requests of the disclosing party in connection\n           therewith.\n\n     8.6.  SURVIVAL OF COVENANT.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to\n           the contrary, the obligations of the parties under this Section 8\n           shall survive for a period of five (5) years from the earlier of the\n           Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section\n           13.\n\n9.   EMPLOYEES; LEASE OF SPACE\n\n     9.1.  OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT.  All NCR employees identified on Schedule 9.1\n           will receive written offers of employment with BEA, to be delivered\n           by BEA not less than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing\n           Date, and will not be required to take drug tests or physical\n           examinations as a condition of such employment.  All such offers\n           shall be contingent upon the Closing and shall be subject to\n           acceptance or rejection by such employees prior to Closing.  All such\n           employees who have not accepted such offers on the business day\n           immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to have\n           rejected such offers.  Those employees who have accepted such offers\n           from BEA prior to the Closing Date shall be referred to herein as\n           \"Transferred Employees.\"  Upon Closing, each of \n\n\n \n                                       25\n\n           the Transferred Employees will cease their employment with NCR and\n           shall become employees of BEA.\n\n     9.2.  COMPENSATION\/BENEFITS PACKAGE.\n\n           9.2.1.  COMPARABLE COMPENSATION. Subject to the terms of this Section\n                   9.2, BEA shall offer the Transferred Employees compensation\n                   and benefits packages that are reasonably comparable to those\n                   being provided by NCR to the Transferred Employees\n                   immediately prior to the Closing Date. BEA shall offer to\n                   each Transferred Employee a base salary that is substantially\n                   similar to that earned by such employee at NCR on the Closing\n                   Date for a position with BEA which is the same or\n                   substantially equivalent to the employee's position at NCR\n                   immediately prior to the Closing. BEA will offer each\n                   Transferred Employee stock options and bonuses consistent\n                   with those received by other similarly situated BEA\n                   employees. It is understood by both parties, however, that\n                   BEA will make vesting of stock options and bonuses contingent\n                   on successful completion of the milestones of the Plan of\n                   Record under the Consulting Agreement. Prior to the Execution\n                   Date, BEA has provided to NCR written confidential\n                   information regarding the proposed compensation packages for\n                   each Transferred Employee for the purpose of enabling NCR to\n                   evaluate independently whether BEA's proposed benefits\n                   package is \"comparable\" to that received by each such\n                   employee at NCR and NCR hereby confirms that BEA's proposed\n                   compensation packages as disclosed to NCR comply with BEA's\n                   obligations hereunder with respect thereto.\n\n           9.2.2.  BENEFITS COVERAGE. To the extent permitted by law or\n                   contract, BEA's benefit plans and programs offered to the\n                   Transferred Employees shall reflect credit for service with\n                   NCR. No pre-existing limitations, waiting periods, or proof\n                   of insurability will be imposed by BEA or its benefits plans\n                   with respect to initial benefits eligibility of the\n                   Transferred Employees. To the extent legally permitted, NCR\n                   will distribute the amount in each Transferred Employee's\n                   savings account in NCR's 401(K) plan, and BEA will allow each\n                   Transferred Employee to rollover the amount to BEA's 401(K)\n                   plan. NCR acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this\n                   Section 9 shall require BEA to undertake any modification of\n                   BEA's existing compensation and benefits practices or to take\n                   any action that would tend, in BEA's good faith judgment, to\n                   expose BEA to any material liability under \n\n\n \n                                       26\n\n                   any law, regulation, court order, ordinance or contract of\n                   any kind.\n\n           9.2.3.  ACCRUED BENEFITS. At or before the Closing, NCR shall pay out\n                   to all Transferred Employees all accrued vacation, sabbatical\n                   or other similar accrued liability owed by NCR to the\n                   Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date. BEA shall\n                   provide each Transferred Employee who requests vacation time\n                   during the first 12 months after Closing with two (2) weeks\n                   unpaid vacation, subject to BEA's policies and procedures\n                   regarding its employees' exercise of vacation time.\n\n     9.3.  TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES' LOCATION; OFFICE SPACE.  BEA shall use\n           commercially reasonable efforts to provide office space for the\n           Transferred Employees which is located within a reasonable proximity\n           of  the current NCR Rancho Bernardo, California, location.  NCR and\n           BEA agree that the following areas in California shall be deemed to\n           be within a reasonable proximity to the current NCR Rancho Bernardo\n           location:  Rancho Bernardo, Poway, and Carmel Mountain Ranch, and the\n           commercial reasonableness of BEA's efforts shall be evaluated based\n           upon, among other things, facility availability and costs.  At BEA's\n           election, upon reasonable prior written notice to NCR delivered prior\n           to the Closing, NCR shall lease to BEA certain office space at NCR's\n           Rancho Bernardo, California, facility pursuant to an Office Space\n           Lease Agreement in substantially the form as Exhibit VIII hereto.\n\n     9.4.  NON-SOLICITATION\n\n           9.4.1.  NCR COVENANT. NCR agrees, for itself and its Affiliates, not\n                   to re-hire, or directly or indirectly attempt to re-hire, for\n                   a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, any of\n                   the Transferred Employees.\n\n           9.4.2.  BEA COVENANT. BEA agrees, for itself and its Affiliates, not\n                   to solicit for employment or hire, or directly or indirectly\n                   attempt to solicit for employment or hire, for a period of\n                   two (2) years from the Closing Date, any employee of NCR with\n                   whom BEA came into contact through the negotiation or\n                   performance of this Agreement.\n\n           9.4.3.  PERMITTED EXCEPTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the\n                   contrary, BEA shall not be in breach of its obligations under\n                   Section 9.4.2 hereof if BEA solicits for employment or hires\n                   NCR professional services employees with expertise in the\n                   Software in Europe and\/or Asia\/Pacific who have been\n                   identified to BEA by NCR. NCR agrees that at its discretion,\n\n\n \n                                       27\n\n                   during the six (6) months following the Closing Date, it\n                   shall assist BEA by identifying a reasonable number of such\n                   personnel and by providing introductions to them for BEA\n                   representatives.\n\n10.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NCR\n\n     NCR hereby represents and warrants to BEA as of the date hereof and as of\n     the Closing Date as follows:\n\n     10.1.

NCR is duly\n           qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each\n           jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material\n           adverse effect on its business or properties.\n\n     10.2. CORPORATE POWER.  NCR has all requisite corporate power to execute\n           and deliver this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry\n           out and perform its obligations under the terms hereof and thereof.\n\n     10.3.

This Agreement and the Related\n           Agreements, when executed and delivered by NCR, will constitute valid\n           and binding obligations of NCR enforceable in accordance with their\n           respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by\n           bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar\n           laws from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of\n           creditors' rights generally and except as enforcement of remedies may\n           be limited by general equitable principles.\n\n     10.4. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS, NO CONSENTS, ETC.  The execution,\n           delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and\n           the Related Agreements will not result in any violation of, or\n           conflict with, or constitute a default under NCR's Charter or Bylaws,\n           or under any material agreement to which NCR is a party, or result in\n           the creation of, any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge\n           upon the Assets.  Except as set forth in Schedule 10.4, and except\n           with respect to the filing of a Premerger Notification Report under\n           the HSR Act, no Consent is required to be obtained on the part of NCR\n           to permit the consummation \n\n\n \n                                       28\n\n           of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. NCR is not in\n           violation of any term of its Charter or Bylaws, or in any material\n           respect of any term or provision of any mortgage, indebtedness,\n           indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree,\n           order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to NCR.\n\n     10.5. LITIGATION, ETC.  Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 10.5,\n           there are no actions, suits, proceedings, oppositions, interferences,\n           cancellation proceedings, challenges, or other legal or governmental\n           proceedings (nor, to the best of NCR's knowledge, investigations\n           pending against NCR or its officers or properties before any court,\n           arbitrator or governmental agency)(the foregoing collectively\n           referred to as \"Actions\"), nor, to the best of NCR's knowledge, is\n           there any threat of any of the foregoing Actions; provided, however,\n           that with respect to Actions arising out of activities outside the\n           United States of America, or exclusively arising under and subject to\n           jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the foregoing\n           representation and warranty is made only to the extent that such\n           Actions, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a\n           Material Adverse Effect.  NCR is not a party to or subject to the\n           provisions of any Governmental Order that, in any such case,\n           questions the validity of this Agreement and\/or any of the Related\n           Agreements or any action taken or to be taken by NCR in connection\n           herewith or therewith, or that challenges the validity,\n           enforceability or ownership by NCR of any of the Proprietary Rights.\n           There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by NCR\n           currently pending or that NCR currently intends to initiate that\n           questions or has the potential to harm the validity of this Agreement\n           and\/or any of the Related Agreements or any action taken or to be\n           taken by NCR in connection herewith or therewith, or the validity,\n           enforceability, use or ownership by NCR of any of the Proprietary\n           Rights.\n\n     10.6. OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS.  NCR owns all of the Assets free and clear of\n           all liens, security interests and other encumbrances other than\n           Permitted Liens and Outstanding License Agreements.\n\n     10.7. DISCLOSURE.

CORPORATE POWER.  BEA has all requisite corporate power to execute\n           and deliver this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry\n           out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and\n           such other agreements.\n\n     11.3.

There is no\n           action, suit, proceeding or investigation by BEA currently pending or\n           that BEA currently intends to initiate that questions or has the\n           potential to harm the validity of this Agreement and\/or any of the\n           Related Agreements or any action taken or to be taken in connection\n           or herewith or therewith.\n\n     11.6.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.  It is understood and agreed that each\n           of the parties hereto is an independent contractor, and that neither\n           party is, or shall be considered to be, by virtue of this Agreement,\n           an agent or representative of the other party for any purpose.\n\n     14.4. ASSIGNMENT.  Neither party may assign this Agreement except in\n           connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or\n           substantially all of the assigning party's relevant business or\n           assets, or with the prior written consent of the other party.\n           Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, BEA may assign any of\n           its rights or obligations hereunder to BEA International, a Cayman\n           Islands corporation, or any other one or more of BEA's Subsidiaries.\n           BEA acknowledges that it shall continue to be obligated if and to the\n           extent that a BEA assignee under this paragraph 14.4 fails to perform\n           the obligations that BEA has assigned.  Any attempted assignment in\n           violation of this Section 14.4 without consent shall be null and\n           void.  Where required, no party shall unreasonably withhold or delay\n           consent.\n\n\n \n                                       42\n\n     14.5.  BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding on all parties\n            hereto, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each\n            party and its respective permitted successors and assigns.\n\n     14.6.  WAIVER; MODIFICATION; AMENDMENT. No term or provision hereof will be\n            considered waived by either party, and no breach excused by either\n            party, unless such waiver or consent is in writing signed on behalf\n            of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. No consent by\n            either party to, or waiver of, a breach by either party, whether\n            express or implied, will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or\n            excuse of any other different, or subsequent, breach by either\n            party. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits attached\n            hereto may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in\n            writing duly signed by or on behalf of the parties hereto.\n\n     14.7.  FORCE MAJEURE. Each of the parties hereto shall exert diligence in\n            performing its obligations under this Agreement, but neither shall\n            be liable in any manner whatsoever for failure to perform or delay\n            in performing such obligations, if and to the extent and for so long\n            as such failure or delay in performance or breach is due to natural\n            disasters, strikes or labor disputes, natural forces, or other acts\n            of God or cause reasonably beyond the control of such party. Any\n            party desiring to invoke this Section 14.7 shall notify the other in\n            writing of such desire and shall use reasonably efforts and due\n            diligence to resume performance of its obligations.\n\n     14.8.  UNITED NATIONS. The parties expressly exclude, if applicable, the\n            application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the\n            International Sale of Goods.\n\n     14.9.  SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid or\n            unenforceable, that part will be amended to achieve as nearly as\n            possible the same economic and practical effect as the original\n            provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full\n            force and effect.\n\n     14.10. NO INTERPRETATION AGAINST DRAFTER. The terms and provisions of this\n            Agreement shall not be construed against the drafter or drafters\n            hereof. All parties hereto agree that the language of this Agreement\n            shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not\n            strictly for or against any of the parties hereto.\n\n     14.11.  GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be governed and\n             enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of\n             New York, without regard to any such laws or regulations that may\n             direct the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Any\n             controversy, claim or dispute between the parties arising out of or\n             relating to this \n\n\n \n                                       43\n\n             Agreement or any Related Agreement or any breach hereof or thereof\n             shall be referred to final and binding resolution by the BEA and\n             NCR senior executives who have authority to reach agreement on any\n             matters in dispute upon written request by either party specifying\n             in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute. In the event that\n             such BEA and NCR senior executives are unable to resolve the\n             dispute within thirty (30) days after the initial request for\n             dispute resolution, the dispute shall be settled by final and\n             binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator in the headquarters\n             city of the non-initiating party pursuant to the then-current\n             Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the\n             federal substantive and procedural law of arbitration. Judgment\n             upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any\n             court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will not have the\n             power to award punitive or exemplary damages or any damages\n             excluded by, or in excess of, any damage limitations expressed in\n             this Agreement. Each party will bear its own attorney's fees and\n             costs related to the arbitration. Unless otherwise determined by\n             the arbitrator, the costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be\n             borne equally by the parties.\n\n     14.12.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the Schedules and\n             Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between\n             the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all\n             prior or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations,\n             and agreements with respect thereto, whether written or oral.\n             Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement expressly supersedes\n             the Non-Disclosure and No-Use Agreement between BEA and NCR\n             executed on March 18, 1998.\n\n     14.13.  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any\n             number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original\n             but all of which together shall constitute one and the same\n             instrument.\n\n     14.14.  TERMS GENERALLY. Whenever the context requires, any pronoun shall\n             include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The\n             words \"include\", \"includes\" and \"including\" shall be deemed to be\n             followed by the phrase \"without limitation\". All references to\n             \"party\" and \"parties\" shall be deemed references to the parties to\n             this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. The\n             terms \"this Agreement\", \"hereof\", \"hereunder\", and similar\n             expressions refer to this Agreement and not to any particular\n             Section or other portion hereof and include any agreement\n             supplemental hereto. All references to Sections, paragraphs,\n             Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to Sections of,\n             paragraphs of, and Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement unless\n             the context shall otherwise require. The term \"or\" is used in its\n             inclusive sense (\"and\/or\").\n\n\n \n                                       44\n\n     14.15.  EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs\n             and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel,\n             financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with\n             this Agreement such costs and the transactions contemplated hereby\n             shall be paid by the party incurring expenses, whether or not the\n             Closing shall have occurred.\n\n     14.16.  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. All remedies, afforded\n             to the parties under this Agreement or any Related Agreement,\n             Applicable Law or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not\n             alternative. Each of the parties agrees that in the event of any\n             breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this\n             Agreement or any Related Agreement, the other party shall be\n             entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have,\n             to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce\n             the observance and performance of such provision and an injunction\n             restraining such breach or threatened breach.\n\n     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed\nby their duly authorized representatives, effective as of the date first above\nwritten.\n\n\n \n                                       45\n\nNCR CORPORATION\n\nBy:    _______________________________\nName:  _______________________________\nTitle: _______________________________\n\nBEA SYSTEMS, INC.\n\nBy:    _______________________________\nName:  _______________________________\nTitle: _______________________________\n\n\n \n                                       46\n\n\n                                   SCHEDULES\n\nThese Schedules are being delivered by NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation\n(\"NCR\"), to BEA Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (\"BEA\"), pursuant to the\nAsset Purchase Agreement dated May 19, 1998 (the \"Agreement\") to be executed by\nand between NCR and BEA, of which these Schedules are a part.
