                             MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
         _______________________________________________________________


                  Concurrently with the execution of this template Agreement,
Toys "R" Us, Inc. ("Customer" or "you") and Island Pacific Systems Corporation
("Island Pacific" or "we") are entering into a certain License Agreement for
Software Products (the "License Agreement") and a certain Services Agreement
(the "Services Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the License Agreement. This
document will serve as a template agreement between Customer and Island Pacific
describing the manner in which modifications to Island Pacific's Software
Products desired by Toys R Us are developed and delivered. We both agree to the
following terms and conditions:

                  DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT - AT THIS TIME THE SCOPE OF EACH
DELIVERABLE IS UNKNOWN. AS YOUR STAFF AND OURS AGREE ON THE CONTENTS THEREOF,
THE PARTIES WILL GIVE THE BODY OF WORK A NAME WHICH WILL APPEAR IN THIS
PARAGRAPH. TO EXPEDITE WORK, UPON YOUR REQUEST, WE WILL HAVE MORE THAN ONE OF
THESE MODIFICATION AGREEMENTS IN PROCESS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

                    DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS - THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING USER
REQUIREMENTS, DOCUMENTING THE RELATED BUSINESS PROCESS FLOWS, AND DESIGNING THE
PANELS, FILES AND PROGRAMS RESULTS IN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. THESE
SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE WE CAN GIVE A FIXED PRICE FOR THE CODE
BUILD. UPON SIGNING THE APPLICABLE MODIFICATION AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES WILL
AGREE UPON A DELIVERY DATE FOR THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. BOTH PARTIES AGREE
THAT THEY WILL EACH USE THEIR REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST EACH OTHER IN
MEETING THIS AGREED DATE. ONCE THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS ARE COMPLETED AND WE
HAVE GIVEN YOU A FIXED PRICE, MILESTONES AND FIRM DELIVERY DATES FOR THE CODE
BUILD, YOU CAN ELECT TO PROCEED WITH THE WORK, AMEND ITS SCOPE, OR CANCEL THE
MODIFICATION PROJECT ENTIRELY. IF YOU DECIDE TO CANCEL WORK ON THE MODIFICATION,
ANY DESIGN CHARGES ALREADY INCURRED ARE NOT WAIVED. IF YOU DECIDE TO PROCEED, WE
WILL EACH SIGN A SCHEDULE, TO BE ATTACHED TO THE APPLICABLE MODIFICATION
AGREEMENT, DESCRIBING THE APPLICABLE FIXED PRICE, MILESTONES AND FIRM DELIVERY
DATES FOR THE CODE BUILD (THE "PROJECT SCHEDULE").

                  CODE BUILD - ONCE THE PROJECT SCHEDULE IS APPROVED, WE WILL
UNDERTAKE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PANELS, FILES AND PROGRAMS NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT THE
DESIGN. WE WILL DO THIS IN PARALLEL WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

                  MILESTONES - AS PART OF OUR AGREEMENT, THE PROJECT SCHEDULE
WILL CONTAIN DATES AT WHICH PORTIONS OF THE FINAL DELIVERABLE CAN BE EVALUATED
BY YOU. IN THIS WAY YOU

                  DELIVERY - IN THIS PARAGRAPH WE WILL AGREE, IF POSSIBLE, ON
THE DATE ON WHICH THE COMPLETED MODIFICATION WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOU. DEPENDING
UPON THE COMPLEXITY OR THE SIZE OF THE MODIFICATION, WE MIGHT ALSO AGREE ON A

CASE, THE FIRM DELIVERY DATE WILL BE SET FORTH ON THE PROJECT SCHEDULE. MOST
OFTEN, OUR STAFF WILL TRAVEL TO YOUR SITE TO INSTALL THE MODIFICATION.
[***].

                  ACCEPTANCE - ONCE WE HAVE DELIVERED OR INSTALLED THE
MODIFICATION, YOU WILL HAVE [***] DAYS TO EITHER ACCEPT OR REJECT OUR WORK. IF
YOU DO NOT REJECT THE DELIVERED MODIFICATION WITHIN THIS TIME, WE BOTH AGREE IT

THE AGREED FIRM DELIVERY DATE, WE BOTH AGREE IT IS CONSIDERED AUTOMATICALLY
REJECTED. IF YOU REJECT THE DELIVERED MODIFICATION, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF
AUTOMATIC REJECTION DUE TO FAILURE TO DELIVER ON TIME, YOU MUST DOCUMENT THE
REASONS FOR SUCH REJECTION AND WE WILL THEN HAVE [***] FROM RECEIPT THEREOF IN
WHICH TO REMEDY OUR FAILURE. IF YOU STILL REJECT OUR WORK OR IF THE MODIFICATION
IS AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED WE WILL, AT YOUR DISCRETION, EITHER

                           a) DELIVER THE MODIFICATION IN ITS CURRENT UNFINISHED
STATE AND FORFEIT [***] OF THE FIXED COST DUE US, OR

                           b) NOT DELIVER THE MODIFICATION AND REFUND [***] AS
WELL AS [***] FOR THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS, OR
