from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who shall decide, based on the
facts, whether the activity is likely to be competitive and exercise discretion

Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Executive's breach
of this Section 6(b)) or unless the disclosure of such confidential information
would not reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the market
value, business, operations, results of operations, assets, financial conditions
or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
c. Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights. Executive
acknowledges that all of Executive's work on and contributions to the business

inventions, enhancements, modifications and improvements which contribute to the
business of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, whether patented,
patentable or unpatentable, created by Executive during his employment by the

Company (collectively, the "Works") are within the scope of Executive's
employment with the Company, are a part of the services, duties and
responsibilities of Executive for the Company, are a result of the efforts of
the Company and is the property of the Company and not of Executive. All of
Executive's work on and contributions to the Works shall be rendered and made by
Executive for, at the instigation of, and under the overall direction of the
Company, and all of Executive's said work and contributions, as well as the
Works, are and at all times shall be regarded as "work made for hire" as that
term is used in the United States Copyright Laws. Without curtailing or limiting
these acknowledgments, Executive hereby assigns, grants and delivers exclusively
to the Company all rights, titles and interests in and to any such Works, and
all copies and versions, including all copyrights and renewals. At any time upon
reasonable request by the Company, Executive will execute and deliver to the
Company, or its successors and assigns, such other and further assignments,
instruments and documents as the Company (or such successors or assigns) from
time to time reasonably may request for the purpose of establishing,
registering, evidencing, and enforcing or defending its complete, exclusive,
perpetual and worldwide ownership of all rights, titles, interests and
copyrights, in and to the Works, and Executive hereby constitutes and appoints
the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution,
to execute and deliver such assignments, instruments or documents as Executive
may fail or refuse to execute and deliver, within five business days of
Executive's receiving written request from the Company to execute said
assignment, instrument or document, this power and agency being coupled with an
interest and being irrevocable. Executive shall from time to time as the Company
may reasonably request communicate and make known to the Company all knowledge
possessed by him relating to the Works; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall be construed as requiring any such communication where the Work is
lawfully protected from disclosure as the trade secret of a third party. Every
Work shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Company, it being the
intention of the parties that the Company shall have sole and exclusive
ownership rights in and to the Works.
Executive shall keep such records in connection with his
employment as the Company may from time to time reasonably direct, and all such
records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. At any time and
from time to time, promptly after the Company's request, Executive shall
surrender to the Company any and all documents, memoranda, computer programs,
codes, disks, diskettes, magnetic tapes, books, papers, letters, price lists,
notebooks, reports, logbooks, sales records, customer lists, activity reports,
video or audio recordings, and any and all copies thereof, relating to the
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Confidential Information
and all Works.

termination of employment with the Company, Executive shall return to the
Company all property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates,

his control.
e. Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Employment Period
and for 12 months thereafter, except in connection with the performance of
Executive's duties hereunder during the Employment Period, Executive shall not,
and shall not encourage or assist any other person, firm, corporation or other
entity to, induce any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and shall not directly or
indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent, employee,
7
8
consultant or otherwise, employ or offer employment to any person who is or was
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates unless such
person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least
6 months.
f. Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restriction
Period, Executive shall not, and shall not encourage or assist any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity to, solicit or otherwise attempt to establish
for himself or any other person, firm or entity any business of a nature that is
competitive with the business or relationship of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries with any person, firm or corporation which during the twelve-month
period preceding the prohibited activity was a customer, client or distributor
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than any such solicitation on
behalf of the Company during Executive's employment hereunder during the
Employment Period.
g. Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive with
respect to noncompetition, "works made for hire," nonsolicitation,
confidentiality and Company property relate to special, unique and extraordinary
matters and that a violation or threatened violation of any of the terms of such
covenants or obligations will cause the Company and its subsidiaries and
Affiliates irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at
law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an
injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the
requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing or threatening
to commit any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in this
Paragraph 6. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any
other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity or pursuant
to this Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.
a. Survival. Paragraphs 5 (relating to early termination), 6
(relating to noncompetition, "works made for hire," nonsolicitation and
confidentiality) and 7 (relating to miscellaneous provisions) shall survive the
termination hereof, whether such termination shall be by expiration of the
Employment Period or an early termination pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.
b. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on, and
shall inure to the benefit of, the Company and any person or entity that
succeeds to the interest of the Company (regardless of whether such succession
does or does not occur by operation of law) by reason of the sale of all or a
portion of the Company's stock, a merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving the Company or, unless the Company otherwise elects in writing, a sale
of the assets of the business of the Company (or portion thereof) in which
Executive performs a majority of his services. This Agreement shall also inure
to the benefit of Executive's heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives.

neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party.

hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect

is sought. There are no promises, representations, inducements or statements
between the parties related to the subject matter hereof (or in any Exhibit
hereto) or otherwise relating to Executive's employment other than those that
are expressly contained herein. Executive acknowledges that he is entering into
this Agreement of his own free will and accord, and with no duress, that he has
been represented and fully advised by competent counsel in entering into this
Agreement, that he has read this Agreement and that he understands it and its
legal consequences. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the
Company and Executive.
e. Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more of
the provisions of this Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. In the event any
subparagraph of Paragraph 6 is not enforceable in accordance with its terms,
Executive and the Company agree that such subparagraph shall be reformed to make
such subparagraph enforceable in a manner which provides the Company the maximum
rights permitted at law.
f. Waiver. Waiver by any party hereto of any breach or default
by the other party of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a
waiver of any other breach or default, whether similar to or different from the
breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
implied from any course of dealing between the parties hereto or from any
failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder on any
occasion or series of occasions.

EXHIBIT B
C*ATS - Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Term Sheet
Preamble - The LTIP will be based on the profitability of the
new entity, MKI Risk, to be created from the
combination of C*ATS and MKI's Global Manager/Risk
Vision operation.
- It is structured in the form of a deferred
compensation plan in which awards earned can increase
in value by reference to any rise in the Misys share
price, all within a favorable tax environment.
- The shaded line on the attached LTIP Award Chart
represents the expected level of Profits (as defined
below) during the three year Term of the Plan. It
follows that the anticipated pay-out from the plan is
$8 million but could be as much as $20 million (both
amounts struck before assuming credit from any
investment return).
- The LTIP Awards are separate from and in addition to
normal annual bonuses.
- The Plan is based on the Misys financial year ending
May 31. This will also reflect the time of salary
reviews which, save in exceptional circumstances,
will thereafter take place annually.
Eligible Participants Messrs. Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx will participate in the
Pool and will select other key employees of C*ATS, with
the consent of Misys, who will also participate in the
Pool.
Term The amounts payable to the Pool under the LTIP will be
determined over the three year period commencing June 1,
1999 and ending May 31, 2002. Each June 1 through May 31
during such period constitutes one of three "Plan
Years". Actual payment of a Participant's Award,
however, may be deferred until October 31, 2004.
Awards Participants will be granted an "Award" with respect to
the Pool. The Award will set forth the Participant's
allocable percentage ("Participation Level") of the
vested portion of the Pool.
14
Calculation of LTIP accruals will be determined based on the cumulative
Maximum LTIP Pool pre-tax "Profits" (as defined below) of the GMRV/C*ATS
Accruals business ("MKI Risk") for the relevant Plan Years. The
attached chart illustrates the different levels of
pay-out dependent on varying performance achievements.
- Following Plan Year 1, provided that Profits equal or
exceed $3,674,000 during Year 1, $1.6 million will be
credited to the Pool. No amount will be credited to the
Pool if Year 1 Profits fall below $3,674,000.
- Following Plan Years 2 and 3, the total amounts
credited to the LTIP Pool (inclusive of any prior year's
credit) will be the amounts set forth on the attached
chart under the "Maximum Payout" column, opposite where
the Cumulative Profits for such year falls (to be pro
rated on a linear basis in the case of actual Cumulative
Profits between such targets).
Vested Portion of - Following Year 1, 20% of the amount (if any) credited
LTIP Pools to the Pool (i.e., 20% of the Maximum Payout at 30%
Profits CAGR) will become vested.
- Following Year 2, the aggregate vested portion of the
Pool (inclusive of the amount vested after Year 1) will
equal the greater of (i) the amount vested after Year 1
or (ii) 40% of the amount under the "Maximum Payout"
column, opposite where the Cumulative Profits for Year 2
falls (to be appropriately pro rated in the case of
actual Cumulative Profits between the stated CAGR
targets).
- Following Year 3, the aggregate vested portion of the
Pool (inclusive of the amount vested after Year 2) will
equal the greater of (i) the amount vested after Year 2
or (ii) 100% of the amount under the "Maximum Payout"
column, opposite where the Cumulative Profits for Year 3
falls (to be pro rated on a linear basis in the case of
actual Cumulative Profits between the stated CAGR
targets).
- The vested portions of the Pool will be
nonforfeitable.

Calculation of Profit Profit (i.e., EBIT) shall be calculated (in $U.S.) based
on Misys GAAP as soon as is reasonably practicable
following receipt by the C*ATS Board of the audited
financial statements for the applicable period. LTIP
Accruals will not be charged to Profits.
LTIP Payout - A Participant may cash out his or her LTIP Award at
any time, based on the vested portion of the Pool at
such time. However, by cashing out the LTIP Award,
he/she will forfeit all rights to any subsequent LTIP
accruals. A participant who cashes in his or her LTIP
accrual will also forfeit the SAR feature described
below.
- Generally, a Participant may not cash out a fractional
portion of his or her Award. However, such fractional
distributions may be permitted (at the sole discretion
of the C*ATS Board) in the case of a Participant's
demonstrated hardship and in such circumstances
subsequent LTIP accruals will not be forfeited.
- All LTIP Payouts will include 5% simple interest from
June 1, 1999 through the applicable payment date. Within
14 days following the determination of the final vested
portion of the LTIP Pool after Year 3, all accrued
interest will be paid out in cash. Thereafter, interest
on LTIP Awards will continue to be paid on each November
30 and May 31 so long as the Participant continues to
hold his Award.
- If not previously paid out (either directly, or upon
exercise of the SAR described below), all LTIP Awards
(including any unpaid interest) will be paid on October
31, 2004.

Option following Year Commencing on June 1, 2003 as to 50% of a Participant's
Four to Redeem LTIP LTIP Award, and June 1, 2004 as to the remaining 50%, a
Accruals based on the Participant will have the right to redeem his or her
Appreciation of Misys LTIP Award (excluding any simple interest that may have
shares (the "SAR") accrued thereon) for a cash payment based on a portion
of the appreciation of Misys Ordinary Shares since the
closing date of the Tender Offer (the "SAR"). The base
price for the SAR will equal 125% of the closing price
of a Misys Ordinary Share as of the closing date of the
Tender Offer, expressed in Pounds Sterling (the "Base
Price"). Upon exercise of the SAR, a Participant will
receive a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the
quotient of (x) the dollar value (absent the SAR) of the
portion of the LTIP Award being so redeemed and (y) the
Base Price, and (B) the closing price (in Pounds
Sterling) of a Misys Ordinary Share as of the exercise
date. With respect to each Participant, the SAR will
terminate on the earlier of October 31, 2004 or the date
on which the participant terminates employment (other
than due to a termination "without cause" by the Company
or a termination for "good reason" by the participant).
Effect of Termination - Voluntary Termination (other than for Good Reason) and
of Employment Termination for Cause: Participants will be paid out
their vested LTIP Awards (including interest), based on
the amounts vested as of the end of the most recently
completed LTIP Year.
- All Other Terminations (i.e., Death, Disability,
Retirement, Termination without Cause; Termination with
Good Reason): Participants will be credited with the pro
rata portion of the LTIP accrual they would have
received for the year in which termination occurs (based
on months employed), in addition to their vested Award
from any completed LTIP Year. In the case of a
termination for Good Reason or without Cause, payment
will not be accelerated unless the participant so
elects, and participants will be permitted to continue
to defer receipt of payment and will continue to be
eligible for the SAR.
Basic Features: - Payments under the LTIP will be in addition to the
Company's regular annual bonus.
- The terms of the LTIP may be modified with the consent
of the Misys Board if advantageous tax results may be
achieved without changing the material provisions of the
LTIP.

Xxxxxxxxx Provisions - If Xxxxxxxxx remains employed through the end of Year
1 (May 31, 2000), any subsequent termination by him
(other than for "Cause") will be deemed to be for "Good
Reason".
- If Xxxxxxxxx quits after Year 1, but before the end of
Year 2, he shall be deemed to have continued in
employment through the end of Year 2, except that his
Award shall only relate to 20% of the amount credited to
the Pool after Year 2 (rather than 40%).
Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx - During the 3 year performance period, neither
bonuses and initial Xxxxxxxxx nor Xxxxxxx will receive a separate annual
salaries bonus.
- The starting salaries for both Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx
will be set at $250,000 to continue until May 31, 2000.

EXAMPLES
1. A Participant remains employed through Year 3. The cumulative Profit
through Year 3 is $35,821,500. The total Pool accrual would be $8,000,000,
of which 100% is vested. The Participant's Award is equal to his
applicable percentage times the vested amount in the Pool.
2. Same case, except the cumulative Profit is $40,000,000. Since the results
fall between the "targets" of $35,821,500 and $42,765,360, the pool
accrual would be similarly pro rated between the $8,000,000 and
$12,800,000 Maximum Payouts (i.e., $10,888,422). [8,000,000 +
(40,000,000-35,821,500)/(42,765,360-35,821,500) X (12,800,000-8,000,000)
= 10,888,422.]
3. A Participant quits after Year 2 (but before the end of Year 3). The
vested percentage of the Pool is 40%. The cumulative Profits through Year
2 are $12,869,000. At that same level of performance through Year 3, the
LTIP pool accrual would have been $8,000,000. The participant would
receive his applicable percentage of $3,200,000 (40% of $8 million).
4. A Participant remains employed through Year 3. The cumulative Profits
through Year 2 were $16 million and the cumulative Profits through Year 3
were $24 million. Since the vested percentage in the Pool after Year 2
(40% x $19,200,000) exceeds the amount which would be vested after Year 3
(100% x $3,200,000), no additional amount has vested in Year 3.
Accordingly, the vested portion of the Pool after Year 3 remains $7.68
million. The Participant is entitled to his allocable percentage of that
amount.
5. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx quits after Year 2 (but before the end of Year 3). Year 1
Profits were $4 million and the cumulative Profits through Year 2 were $5
million. Since no amount was credited to the Pool with respect to Year 2,
the vested portion of the Pool remains $320,000 (the amount which was
vested after Year 1 (20% X $1,600,000)). Xxxxx is entitled to his
applicable percentage of the Pool -- i.e., $100,000 (31.25% of $320,000).
6. Same as #5, except Xxx Xxxxxxxxx is the Participant. Since the termination
is deemed to be for Good Reason, Rod will also be entitled to a pro-rata
portion of the Year 3 LTIP accrual (if any), based on the number of months
he was employed during Year 3 prior to termination.
