hereto do hereby agree as follows:

Shares") at a purchase price of $9.23 per share, in the manner and subject to
the conditions provided in this Agreement.
2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
a. EXERCISE AGREEMENT. Grantee may exercise the Option at any time on
or after the date on which the Option has vested in accordance with Section
2(c) and on or before August 8, 2006 (the "Option Period"). Grantee must
exercise the Option by delivering to TSW an executed written exercise
agreement in form reasonably acceptable to TSW, which sets forth Grantee's
election to exercise some or all of this Option, the number of Option Shares
and such other representations and agreements as may be reasonably required
by TSW to comply with applicable securities laws.
b. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Agreement must be
accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the Option Shares being
purchased. Payment for the Option Shares must be made in U.S. dollars by wire

pay or make adequate provision for any applicable federal or state
withholding obligations of TSW resulting from the exercise of this Option.
c. VESTING OF OPTION. The Option will vest as follows: (1) 1/3 of
the Option Shares shall vest as of February 8, 1997, (2) an additional 1/3 of
the Option Shares will vest as of August 8, 1997, and (3) the remaining 1/3
of the Option Shares will vest on December 31, 1997, if the Grantee continues
to provide the services of an individual (the "Designee") acceptable to TSW
as Chairman of the TSW Board of Directors to TSW through that date.
Vesting will accelerate, and the Option will be fully vested, if a
Liquidity Event occurs prior to December 31, 1997, and Grantee is providing
the services of Designee as Chairman of the Board of Directors when the
Liquidity Event occurs. For these purposes, the
1
term "Liquidity Event" means (1) an initial public offering (IPO) of TSW's
common stock, (2) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of TSW, or
(3) a merger (other than a merger in which TSW is the acquiror), or a
combination of TSW into another corporation.

unless such exercise is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and all
applicable state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of
exercise, and the requirements of any stock exchange or national market
system on which TSW's Common Stock may be listed at the time of exercise,
Grantee understands that TSW is not under any obligation to register, qualify
or list the TSW Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such
compliance.
e. DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATE. Upon receipt of the Exercise
Agreement and payment of the option exercise price, TSW will deliver to
Grantee a stock certificate representing the number of TSW shares as to which
Grantee has exercised the Option.
3. TERMINATION OF OPTION. This Option will terminate as of 5:00 pm EDT on
August 8, 2006 (to the extent not exercised prior to that time).
4. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. If the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of TSW are changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of TSW by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, merger,
combination, or subdivision, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
number and kind of shares available under this Option, and to the option
exercise price provided for in Section 1.
5. RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE. This Option is nontransferable. This Option
