       WHEREAS,  Company offers an Internet-based direct access trading platform
(the "Company  System") that provides its customers  ("Company  Customers")  the
ability to enter securities  orders,  to verify and determine the status of open
orders,  to cancel and modify  open  orders,  and to  request  basic  securities
account information;

       WHEREAS,  eSignal offers  investors and traders (i) an advanced  charting
software  application  (which  includes a  proprietary  platform  known as "Open
Broker  Connectivity,"  also sometimes  referred to herein as "OBC  Technology")
(the "eSignal  Application")  that interfaces with third party trading platforms
("Third Party  Platforms")  as a means of providing  users of the eSignal System
(as defined below) ("eSignal End Users") with access to, among other things, the
trading and related  functionality  of such Third  Party  Platforms,  and (ii) a
market data feed  comprised of real-time  and delayed  stock and/or  futures and
commodities  quotes for major  markets  and feeds from major news  organizations
(the "eSignal Market Data Feed" and, collectively with eSignal Application,  the

regarding  the  development  and  distribution  of an  interface  between  their
respective  systems (a/k/a the Integrated  Functionality,  as defined in Section
1(a) below);

       NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the foregoing  recitals,  the mutual
promises, agreements and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

   1)  INTEGRATED FUNCTIONALITY DEVELOPMENT & CONFIGURATION.
       ----------------------------------------------------

       a)  Company  and  eSignal  will  work with  each  other in good  faith to
configure (i) the Company System's trading and account management functionality,
and (ii) the eSignal  System's  active  quote and  analytics  functionality,  to
operate in conjunction with each other to enable  Subscribers (as defined below)
to (A) transmit a set of order data (the "Order Data") from the eSignal  System,
in a Company pre-defined format, to populate the Company pre-defined

<PAGE>

electronic  point  of  reception,  and  (B)  receive  from  the  Company  System
additional  order related  information to populate their eSignal  accounts.  The
Order Data shall include the following  Order Data, and such other Order Data as
the  parties  may agree  from  time to time in  writing:  action  (buy or sell);
symbol; price; quantity,  order-type; stop price (if applicable); time in force;
whether  the order is "all or none";  and whether to cancel  pending  (unfilled)
orders.  Subscribers  may be required  to enter  additional  information  in the
Company System in order to utilize the order entry  functionality of the Company
System. For convenience of reference,  the cooperative  operation of the eSignal
System  and  the  Company  System  is  referred  to  herein  as the  "Integrated
Functionality."  "Subscribers"  are  eSignal  End  Users  that are also  Company
Customers, and vice versa.

       b) Following  completion of the Integrated  Functionality,  eSignal shall
subject  the  Integrated  Functionality  to such  operational  and  other  tests
(collectively,  "Acceptance Tests") as eSignal may deem reasonably  necessary to
determine  whether the  Integrated  Functionality  meets  eSignal's  operational
criteria.  The  Integrated  Functionality  shall not be put into  commercial use
until it has passed all  Acceptance  Tests.  For purposes  hereof,  "Acceptance"
shall mean eSignal's  notification to Company that the Integrated  Functionality
has passed all Acceptance Tests.

       c) eSignal and Company  retain the right at all times to make any changes
in their respective systems that they may deem necessary or desirable; provided,
however, neither party shall implement,  without the other party's prior written
consent,  any change to the first  party's  system that will  either  materially
impact the functionality of the Integrated Functionality or require modification
of  the  other  party's   system  to  avoid   interruption   in  the  Integrated
Functionality.

       d) In the event a change  to either  the  eSignal  System or the  Company
System, or both,  results in required  modifications to the other party's system
to avoid interruption in the Integrated Functionality, the parties agree to work
in good faith,  each at its own expense,  to modify their respective  systems in
order to avoid  or  minimize  any such  interruption;  provided,  however,  that
neither  party shall be obligated to make any material  capital  expenditure  in
order to modify or upgrade its system to be compatible with modifications to the
other party's  system and, in lieu of making any such capital  expenditure,  may
elect to terminate this Agreement  pursuant to Section  9(b)(i),  subject to the
wind down provisions of Section 10(f).

       e) The Integrated Functionality will not be co-branded and the underlying
technology of the eSignal  System and the Company  System are, and shall remain,
independent of each other.

       f) The parties will clearly indicate,  in appropriate places within their
respective  systems,  that all  securities  transactions  will be  processed  by
Company. For example, `All brokerage services performed by XYZ Securities, Inc."
or "All futures services performed by ABC Futures, LLC."
