        with the license currently held by the Company under Section 114 of the
        Companies Act to the effect that (i) said license shall continue in full
        force
        and effect following the transfer of control of the Company from FEDS
        Acquisition to Purchaser contemplated hereunder, and (ii) that the condition
        in
        said license previously limiting to “financial institutions” the range of
        customers to whom the Company would be permitted to render services has been
        or
        will be removed;
  ***Page
            - 8***
  (l)  To
        the
        extent they have not previously done so, Sellers shall, and shall cause the
        Company to, procure that the Bye-laws of the Company be amended in the following
        respects; (i) amend Bye-law 61, which still requires beneficial ownership
        by
        Bermudians in the Company to be at least 60% and a non-Bermudian holding
        more
        than 40% of the shares of the Company to dispose of the excess, so that the
        Bye-laws reflect and permit the ownership by FEDS Acquisition (a non-Bermudian)
        of all the Company Shares and so that they further permit the transfer of
        those
        Company Shares from FEDS Acquisition to Purchaser, and (ii) amend Bye-law
        64,
        which currently provides that the Board of Directors has absolute discretion
        without assigning any reason not to register any share transfer, so that
        such
        discretionary power is removed, all in form and substance reasonably
        satisfactory to Purchaser;
 
 (m)  To
        the
        extent they have not previously done so, Sellers shall cause the Company
        to
        execute and deliver to FEDS Asia an assignment in the form of Exhibit I attached
        hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes of all the Company’s right, title
        and interest in and to that certain E-commerce Transaction Processing Agreement
        dated June 22, 2000 entered into between the Company and Wing Hang Bank and
        that
        certain Services Agreement for E-commerce Transaction Processing dated November
        30, 2000 between the Company and International Bank of Asia Limited, all
        in form
        and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser;
 
 (n)  To
        the
        extent they have not previously done so, Sellers shall cause the Company
        to
        furnish to the “Customer” under that certain Transaction Processing Agreement
        made effective 20 April 2001 and entered into by and between the Company
        and
        Planet Group, Inc. a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
        to
        Purchaser regarding the provisions of Section 14 of that Agreement;
        and
 
 (o)  To
        the
        extent they have not previously done so, Sellers shall, and shall cause the
        Company to, pay to the appropriate governmental Authority any and all applicable
        Bermuda stamp duties incurred with respect to the execution and delivery
        of all
        of the contracts, agreements and other instruments listed in Schedules 1
        or 2,

        specified in Section 4.12 (a) below, including without limitation any fines
        or
        penalties for delinquent or insufficient filing or payment with respect
        thereto.

 ARTICLE
        III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 REGARDING
        SELLERS
 
 Sellers,
        acting jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to Purchaser as
        follows:
 
 3.1  Organization.
        Each of First Ecom and FEDS Acquisition is a corporation duly incorporated,
        validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada
        and
        has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate
        its
        properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of FEDS
        Asia and First Asia is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
        and in
        good standing under the laws of Hong Kong and has all requisite corporate
        power
        and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
        business as now being conducted. First Ecom is the registered and beneficial
        owner of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of FEDS Acquisition,
        First Asia and FEDS Asia.
 
 3.2  Authority.
        Each Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into
        this
        Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the
        transactions contemplated hereby. Each Seller’s execution and delivery of this
        Agreement, the performance by such Seller of its obligations hereunder and
        the
        consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
        authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such
        Seller.  FEDS
        Acquisition has the full power to assign, transfer and deliver the Company
        Shares hereunder, free and clear of all covenants, conditions, voting trust
        arrangements, liens, encumbrances, equities, security interests, restrictions,
        claims, charges, and other claims or rights of third parties (“Encumbrances”).
        This Agreement, and each agreement, document or other instrument required
        to be
        executed and delivered hereunder, when executed and delivered by all Sellers
        named as a party thereto, will constitute the valid and legally binding
        obligation of each such named Seller, legally enforceable against such Seller
        in
        accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
        the
        rights of creditors generally, limitations imposed by applicable law or
        equitable principles upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies,
        covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, and upon the availability
        of
        injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. FEDS Acquisition acquired
        the
        Company Shares from First Ecom in a bona fide transaction for fair
        consideration, such transfer was duly and validly authorized by all necessary
        corporate action on the part of First Ecom and FEDS Acquisition, and such
        transfer is property stamped and not subject to any executory agreement,
        condition subsequent or other covenant or condition that would reserve to
        First
        Ecom or any other party the right to rescind or otherwise avoid such
        transfer.

            - 10***
 3.3  No
        conflict with Other Instruments. Each Seller’s execution and delivery of, and
        performance of its obligations under, this Agreement, each agreement, document
        or other instrument required to be executed and delivered hereunder, and
        the
        transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) will not result in any
        violation of, conflict with, constitute a breach, violation or default (with
        or
        without notice of lapse of time, or both), give rise to a right of termination,
        cancellation, forfeiture or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any
        benefit under, or result in the creation or encumbrance on any of the properties
        or assets of any Seller or the Company or any of its or their subsidiaries,
        under (x) any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other
        charter or government document of any Seller or (y) any agreement, arrangement,
        contract, understanding, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, franchise, license,
        permit or other instrument to which any Seller is a party or by which any
        Seller
        or any of its properties or assets is bound, (ii) will not conflict with,
        or
        result in any breach or violation of, any Legal Requirement applicable to
        Seller
        or its properties or assets, or (iii) will not result in the imposition of
        any
        Encumbrance upon the Company Shares, except, in the case of clauses (i) (y)
        and
        (ii), for any of the foregoing that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
        have a material adverse effect on Sellers and their subsidiaries, taken as
        a
        whole, or that could not result in the creation of any material lien, charge
        or
        encumbrance upon any assets of any Seller or any of its subsidiaries, or
        that
        could not prevent, materially delay or materially burden the transactions
        contemplated by this Agreement.
 
 3.4  Ownership
        of Securities, FEDS Acquisition will sell the Company Shares pursuant to
        this
        Agreement with full title guarantee (as construed under Bermuda law) and,
        upon
        consummation of the purchase contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser will
        acquire such Company Shares free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances,
        equities and claims of third parties of any description with full title
        guarantee and with the benefit of all other rights and advantages belonging
        to
        or accruing on such Company Shares. No Seller is a party to or otherwise
        subject
        to, any trust, voting trust or agreement, proxy or other agreement, arrangement
        or understanding, between or among any persons that affects or relates to
        the
        voting or giving of written consent with respect to the Company Shares or
        any
        other outstanding security of the Company, the election of directors, the
        appointment of officers or other actions of the board of directors of the
        Company (the “Board of Directors”) or the management of the
        Company.
 
 3.5  Sale
        Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with each Seller in reliance
        upon Sellers’ representation to Purchaser, which by the execution of this
        Agreement Seller hereby confirm, that the Installment Payments to be received
        by
        FEDS Acquisition will be acquired for investment for FEDS Acquisition’s own
        account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
        distribution of any part thereof, and that no Seller has any present intention
        of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
        same
        other than in each case pursuant to an appropriate exemption from registration
        under applicable law. By executing this Agreement, Sellers further represent
        that no Seller has any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with
        any
        person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any
        third
        person, with respect to any of the Installment Payments.
 
 ***Page
            - 11***
 3.6  Reliance
        Upon Seller’s Representations. Each Seller understands that the Installment
        Payments are not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933
        (the
“Securities Act”) on the ground that the sale provided for in this agreement and
        the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the
        Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation S promulgated
        thereunder, and that Purchaser’s reliance on such exemption is based on every
        Seller’s representations set forth herein. Each Seller realizes that the basis
        for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations,
        any Seller has in mind merely acquiring the Installment Payments for a fixed
        or
        determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the
        market does not rise. No Seller has any such intention.
 
 3.7  Restricted
        Securities. Each Seller understands that the Installment Payments may not
        be
        sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or in the United States without
        registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that
        in the
        absence of an effective registration statement covering the Installment Payments
        or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the
        Installment Payments must be held indefinitely. In particular, each Seller
        is
        aware that the Installment Payment may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144
        promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that
        Rule
        are met. In this connection, each Seller represents that such Seller understands
        that under Rule 144, the Installment Payments must be held for at least one
        year
        after purchase thereof from Purchaser prior to resale (and possibly longer
        under
        applicable regulations) and that, under certain circumstances, the conditions
        for use of Rule 144 include the availability of public current information
        about
        Purchaser, that sales be effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in
        transactions with a “market maker,” and that the number of securities in respect
        of the Installment Payments being sold not exceed specified limitations.
        Such
        public current information about Purchaser for purposes of Rule 144 is not
        now
        publicly available and may not be in the future.
 
 3.8  Governmental
        Consents and Notices. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
        registration, declaration of, notice to or qualification or filing with,
        any
        Governmental Authority or regulated public securities exchange or other
        organized public market on which the shares of any such Seller are traded
        (including but not limited to Nasdaq), whether domestic or foreign, is required
        to be obtained or submitted by or on behalf of or with respect to any Seller
        in
        connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Seller
        or
        the consummation by any Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby that
        has
        not been, or will not prior to Closing have been, duly obtained and/or
        submitted, as applicable. No consent, approval, order or authorization of,
        or
        registration, declaration of, notice to or qualification or filing with,
        any
        Governmental Authority or regulated public securities exchange or other
        organized public market on which the shares of any such Seller are traded
        (including but not limited to Nasdaq), whether domestic or foreign, was required
        to be obtained or submitted by or on behalf of or with respect to any Seller
        in
        connection with First Ecom’s transfer of Company Shares to FEDS Acquisition that
        has not been duly obtained and/or submitted, as applicable.
 
 3.9  Litigation.
        There is no (a) claim, action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge
        of Sellers and the Company, threatened against or relating to any Seller
        or any
        of its or their subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority or arbitration
        tribunal, or (b) outstanding judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree,
        or
        application, request or motion therefor, of any court, governmental agency
        or
        arbitration tribunal in a proceeding to which any Seller or any of its or
        their
        subsidiaries was or is a party that would individually or in the aggregate,
        either impair any Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
        by this Agreement or have a material adverse effect on Sellers and their
        subsidiaries taken as a whole.
 
 ***Page
            - 12***
 3.10  Insolvency.
        Each of the Sellers is unable to pay its liabilities as they come due, and
        none
        is otherwise “insolvent” under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
        moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
        creditors generally that are applicable to such Seller or its assets. No
        order
        has been made, petition presented, resolution passed or meeting convened
        for the
        winding up of any Seller or for an administration order in respect of any
        Seller; no receiver, receiver and manager, administrative receiver or liquidator
        has been appointed of the business or the whole or any part of the assets
        or
        undertaking of any Seller; there are no circumstances that now or with the
        passage of time may give rise to the appointment of any such receiver, receiver
        and manager, administrative receiver or liquidator, and, to the knowledge
        of
        Sellers and the Company, no such order, petition, resolution, meeting or
        appointment is pending or threatened.
 
 3.11  No
        Misleading Statements. No representation or warranty made herein by any Seller
        contains any statement of a material fact that is either untrue or, in the
        light
        of the circumstances under which they are made, misleading.
 
 3.12  Brokers
        or Finders. Neither any Seller nor any of their officers, directors, employees
        or shareholders has employed any broker or finder in connection with the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor have they incurred, and
        they
        shall not incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for any brokerage
        or
        finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with
        this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
 
 ARTICLE
        IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 REGARDING
        THE COMPANY
 
 Sellers,
        acting jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to Purchaser as
        follows:
 
 4.1
              Organization.
 
 (a)  The
        Company is a local company incorporated under a private act known as “The
        Rosebank Investment Company Act, 1957” (the “EDS Act”) by a memorandum of
        association deposited 10 September 1957 (the “Memorandum of Association”) under
        the laws of Bermuda, both of which remain in full force and effect, as amended
        to the date hereof, under the Companies Act. True, complete and accurate
        copies
        of the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws, as amended to the date
        hereof, and of the minutes of all of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings, and
        the shareholders’ registry, complete and accurate as of the date hereof, have
        been delivered to Purchaser or its counsel. Such documents contain full details
        of the rights and restrictions attached to the share capital of the Company,
        and
        all directors’ and shareholders’ resolutions reflected in the said minutes have
        been duly adopted as resolutions of the Company, and have not, except as
        disclosed therein, been rescinded or modified.
 
 ***Page
            - 13***
 (b)  The
        Company holds a validly issued and currently in effect license from the
        Registrar of Companies under Section 114 of the Companies Act permitting
        ownership of up to 100% of the Company Shares by FEDS Acquisition, which
        license
        (i) contains no conditions, and is subject to no express or implied limitations
        by reason of the representations made or other information provided in the
        course of making application for such license, that would render the license
        invalid or otherwise jeopardize its scope or continued validity by reason
        of the
        transfer of the Company Shares to Purchaser contemplated hereby, and (ii)
        is
        current in all payments of fees required for maintenance of the license,
        including without limitation the required 2001 annual fee of
        BD$1000.00.
 
 4.2  Qualification;
        Location of Asset and Operations. The Company has all requisite power and
        authority to own, lease and operate its respective properties and to carry
        on
        its business as and where now being conducted. The Company is qualified to
        conduct business in its jurisdiction of incorporation and in each such other
        jurisdiction where the nature of its assets or the conduct of its business
        requires it to be so qualified. The Company has no assets having a situs
        outside
        of Bermuda and does not have a branch, agency or place of business or any
        permanent establishment (as that expression is defined in the relevant double

        the company contain complete, true and accurate records of the shares and
        shareholders of the Company and all the other information which they are
        required to contain under the Companies Act up to the date of this Agreement,
        and comply with all the requirements of the Companies Act and all returns,

        the
        Company to the Registrar of Companies have been duly delivered with the required
        time limits and no fines or penalties are outstanding or known to be due.
        The
        Company has not received notice of any application or intended application
        for
        the modification of its register of shareholders that is not already reflected
        in the entries recorded therein. The Company has held all regular and special
        meetings of shareholders required of it under the Companies Act or, to the
        extent of any delinquency in the convening or completion of such meetings,

        of
        Companies, the convening and completion of such meetings, and the payment
        in
        full of any resulting fines, penalties or assessments. No application has
        been
        made by a shareholder or creditor of the Company or any other person to wind-up
        the affairs of the Company on account of any such delinquency. All transfers
        of
        shares of the Company taking place prior to the date hereof have been properly
        stamped and have, received all necessary or appropriate approvals of the
        Bermuda

 (b)  “Net

        interest, depreciation and amortization in accordance with United States
        generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently with the
        accounting policies and practices of the Company from period to period,
        excluding (i) any management or other administrative fees or expenses of

        by

        operations from Company to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser.
 
 (c)  Purchaser
        hereby acknowledges its intent to cause Company to be operated following
        Closing
        in a manner consistent with the assumptions and projections identified in
        the
“Business Plan” attached hereto as Schedule 4 and made a part hereof for all
        purposes, including but not limited to providing Company with sufficient
        working
        capital (not exceeding US$4 million) to conduct its business in the manner
        heretofore conducted. In this regard, it is anticipated that Purchaser will,
        as
        soon as practicable following Closing, extend to Company a working capital
        loan
        facility in a principal amount equal to that described in Section 2.5(e)
        on such
        terms and conditions as Purchaser and the Company shall mutually agree.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Seller and Purchaser agree and
        acknowledge that Company, and Purchaser’s intentions with respect to the
        Company, are subject to changing market conditions in the environment in
        which
        Company operates, and that Purchaser shall have no obligations to cause Company
        to be operated in any particular way or furnished with any particular level
        of
        funding. Seller’s sole assurances regarding its participation in future
        operating profits of Company lie in the “Minimum” payment obligations set out in
        the table in Section 7.1 (a) above.
 
 (d)  Following
        the end of each of the said three calendar years, Purchaser shall, or shall
        cause the Company to deliver to Seller annual financial statements of the
        Company that have been audited by an independent auditing firm of international
        stature and reputation, together with the auditors’ statement and notes thereto.
        Such statements shall be delivered to Seller no later than one hundred twenty
        (120) days following the end of each such calendar year period, accompanied
        by a
        reconciliation statement prepared by such auditing firm setting forth the
        calculation of “net operating profits” in accordance with the standards set
        forth in subparagraph (b) above and specifying the amount underpaid or overpaid
        by Purchaser as compared to said statement. Sellers shall then have up the
        thirty (30) days to review such materials and, if no objection is raised
        in
        writing by Sellers within that time, said reconciliation statement shall
        be
        final and binding on the parties. If on the other hand Sellers object to
        said
        materials in any respect by written notice to Purchaser, then the parties
        shall
        work in good faith to resolve their disagreement(s) within the succeeding
        thirty
        (30) day period. During that time, either Sellers or Purchaser may give notice
        to the other of its election to refer the disagreement to a second independent
        auditing firm of international stature and reputation, which firm shall be
        selected (i) by the firm that audited Purchaser’s financial statements in the
        first place, or (i) if such firm fails or refuses to select a second such
        firm,
        by mutual agreement of Sellers and Purchaser. The decision of the second
        such
        firm shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced by a court
        of
        competent jurisdiction. If the second such firm’s decision results in a “net
        operating profit” calculation difference of less than five percent from the
        first such firm’s decision, the costs of the second such firm’s review shall be
        borne by Sellers. If the difference is from five to ten percent., the cost
        shall
        be borne equally between Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the
        other.
        If the difference is greater than ten Percent, the cost shall be borne by
        Purchaser. Any overpayment by Purchaser shall be refunded by Sellers, and
        any
        underpayment by Purchaser shall be paid to Sellers, promptly upon the parties’
receipt of the final determination.

        of Oasis Distribution License. To the extent that such consent has not yet
        -been
        obtained, and to the extent that Purchaser so requests, Sellers shall continue

        (iv) of Section 2.2.

        same
        as or confusingly similar to Company’s name, it being understood that
“FirstEcom.Com” shall not be considered as such for this purpose. In addition,
        to the extent that they have not completely done so prior to Closing, Sellers
        shall, and shall cause their appropriate Affiliates to, procure that their
        names
        and the names of their Affiliates that are the same as or confusingly similar
        to
        the Company’s name be changed so that they are not, it being understood that
“FirstEcom.Com” shall not be considered as such for this purpose.
 
 7.4  Post-Closing
        Intercompany Support. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing,
        and only to the extent that any Seller has within the twelve (12) months
        preceding Closing provided or caused to be provided intercompany operational
        support for Company using the assets, resources or facilities of such Seller
        or
        its Affiliates, Sellers shall continue to provide or cause to be provided

        related hardware, software and data described in Section 4.10 above. It is
        understood and agreed that such support shall be at no additional cost to
        Purchaser or the Company. This Section 7.4 does not apply to the support
        services covered by that certain End User Support Agreement in the form attached
        hereto as Exhibit E and entered into by the parties thereto.
 
 7.5  Processing
        Transactions. From time to time following the Closing, Sellers may contact
        Company to propose the entry by a Seller and/or its designee into agreements
        or
        understandings for the processing by the Company of financial transactions
        referred by such Seller, and Company will be entitled to accept or decline
        or
        propose modifications to such proposals in its sole discretion.

        and results of operations with respect to the fiscal. year ending December

        this connection, Purchaser shall instruct its auditors to provide reasonable
        cooperation with respect to such access. Sellers agree that they shall pay
        and
        be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred
        by
        Purchaser in the course of such audit, and that they shall limit such access

        Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Sellers agree to indemnify
        Purchaser, the Company, their Affiliates, and their respective. shareholders,

        of (i)
        any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of Sellers contained
        herein or in any certificate required to be delivered at Closing by Seller
        under
        Section 2.5(a), or (ii) any failure by Sellers or the Company to perform
        or
        comply with any covenant or agreement contained herein, or (iii) any

        cause or action arising out of the Shareholders’ Agreement or the Share Purchase

        acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies

        of any such claim, but Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion

        being
        understood that omitting to take any action or make any election or decision
        shall be deemed the taking of an action or the making of any election or
        decision for this purpose), and to do all such acts and things as may in
        the
        opinion of such attorney-in-fact be reasonably necessary or reasonably expedient
        for the purposes thereof, or in connection therewith, and Purchaser shall
        be
        entitled to rely conclusively on any of the foregoing as the action, decision
        or
        election, as the case may be, of each and all of the Sellers. Each Seller
        agrees
        that the foregoing appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest
        and
        shall be binding upon its successors and assigns. Any payments received by
        First
        Ecom hereunder that properly belong to any of other Seller shall be held
        by
        First Ecom in trust for the benefit of such other Seller, and Sellers hereby
        release, discharge and agree to hold harmless Purchaser for any amounts payable
        to any Seller hereunder or pursuant to any transaction or instrument
        contemplated hereby that Purchaser pays to First Ecom.

        Of License Rights.** For good and
        valuable consideration in hand received, the receipt and sufficiency of which
        are hereby acknowledged, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth
        herein, Licensor grants to Licensee and its Affiliates a paid-up royalty-free,
        non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to deploy, install, execute
        and use solely for Licensee's and/or its Affiliates' internal use as many

 **3.**  **Title
        And Copyright** .
        Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that Licensor is the owner and
        holder of all rights, titles and interests in and to the Product, free and
        clear
        of all liens, charges, encumbrances, equities and claims of third parties
        of any
        description. There are no facts or alleged facts known to Licensor which
        would
        reasonably serve as a basis for any claim that Licensor does not have the
        right
        to grant the rights and licenses provided for herein. As between Licensor
        and
        Licensee, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, except as and to the extent
        otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, all title and copyrights
        in and
        to the Product, are and will remain the property of Licensor and/or its
        affiliates and suppliers, and are protected by applicable copyright laws
        and
        applicable international copyright treaties, and that Licensor neither grants
        hereby nor otherwise transfers hereby any rights of ownership therein to
        Licensee or to any third party. Licensee will not claim or assert title to
        or
        ownership of the Product except pursuant to a written agreement expressly
        entitling Licensee to claim or assert such title or ownership. This Agreement,
        when executed and delivered by Licensor and Licensee, w ill constitute the
        valid
        and legally binding obligation of Licensor, legally enforceable against Licensor
        in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
        the
        rights of creditors generally, limitations imposed by applicable law or
        equitable principles upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies,
        covenants or the provisions of this Agreement, and upon the availability
        of
        injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
 
 **4.**  **Restrictions.** Licensee
        will not remove or alter any copyright or, proprietary notice from copies
        of the
        Product. Except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other
        express written agreement between the parties, Licensee agrees (a) not to
        decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the
        Software’s source code from object code except to the extent expressly permitted
        by applicable law or treaty despite this limitation; (b) not to sell, rent,
        lease, license, sub-license, display, modify, time share, outsource or otherwise
        transfer the Product to, or , permit the use of the Product by, any third
        party
        not an Affiliate of Licensee, *provided,* without
        limiting the scope of the license grant hereinabove stated, it is understood
        and
        agreed that this Agreement permits the use of the Product by Licensee and
        its
        Affiliates in support of services rendered to their customers in the normal
        course of their trade or business; and (c) to use reasonable care and protection
        to prevent the unauthorized use, copying, publication or dissemination of
        the
        Product. Licensor has the right to obtain injunctive relief against any actual
        or threatened violation of these restrictions, in addition to any other
        available remedies.
 
 ***Page
            - 48***
 **5.**  **Taxes
        And Addition Charges.** All
        license fees paid or payable by the Licensee for the license granted hereunder
        (this "License") do not include, and Licensor will be responsible for, any
        and
        all taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges now or
        hereafter imposed by any governmental authority on the purchase or sale of
        this
        License or the use or possession of the Product by Licensee and/or its
        Affiliates; provided, that Licensee will be responsible for its own corporate
        franchise taxes and taxes based upon its own net income.
 
 **6.**  **Limited
        Warranty.** Licensor
        warrants to Licensee that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the Effective
        Date, (i) the Documentation and Media will be, under normal use, free from
        physical defects, and (ii) the Software will perform in substantial accordance
        with the operating specifications contained in the Documentation that is
        most
        current at the Effective Date. If Licensee notifies Licensor within said
        ninety-day period of its belief that either of these warranties has been
        breached, including a description of the nature or circumstances of such
        breach,
        Licensor will be obligated to use reasonable efforts to remedy the defect(s)
        in
        question within a reasonable period of time or, at Licensor’s option, to replace
        the defective Product component at no additional charge. Licensor, it’s
        authorized distributors and its suppliers do not warrant that the Product
        will
        satisfy Licensee’s requirements, that the operation of the Product will be
        uninterrupted or error free, or that all software defects can be corrected.
        This
        warranty will be void if: (i) the Product is not used in accordance with
        the
        instructions set out in the Documentation, (ii) a Product defect has been
        caused
        by any of Licensee's or a third party's malfunctioning equipment, or (iii)
        Licensee has made modifications to the Product not expressly authorized in
        writing by Licensor.
 
 **7.**  **Indemnification
        For Infringement.** Licensor
        will defend or settle, at its own expense any claim against Licensee by a
        third
        party asserting that Licensee's and/or its Affiliates’ use of the Product within
        the scope of this Agreement violates such third party’s patent, copyright,
        trademark, trade -secret or other proprietary rights, and will indemnify
        Licensee against any damages finally awarded against Licensee arising out
        of
        such claim. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor in writing after first
        receiving notice of any such claim, and Licensor will have sole control of
        the
        defense of any action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise,
        with Licensee's reasonable assistance; provided, that Licensee's approval
        in
        writing shall be required of any settlement or compromise involving any
        admission of fault or wrongdoing on the part of Licensee, and provided, further,
        that Licensee may at Licensor's cost and expense take responsibility for
        its own
        defense if and to the extent that Licensee has any reasonable doubt as to
        the
        ability or willingness of Licensor to fund such defense or any award, settlement
        or compromise arising therefrom. Licensor will not be liable for any costs
        or
        expenditures incurred by Licensee without Licensor's prior written consent
        except insofar as Licensee reasonably determines that it is necessary or
        appropriate to incur such costs and expenses in order to preserve its legal
        or
        equitable rights and remedies, protect it from further such claims, or minimize
        the losses associated with claims so made. If an order is obtained against
        Licensee’s and/or its Affiliates’ use of the Product by reason of any claimed
        infringement, or if in Licensor's opinion the Product is likely to become
        the
        subject of such a claim, Licensor will, at its option and expense, and in
        addition to any other rights and remedies available to Licensee hereunder,
        either (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Product,
        or (ii)
        modify or replace the Product with a compatible, functionally equivalent,
        non-infringing Product.

 **8.**  **Support.** Contemporaneously
        with the execution of this Agreement, Licensor and Licensee are entering
        into an
        End User Support Agreement under which Licensor will provide ongoing support
        and
        maintenance beyond the scope and time limits of the warranty period set forth
        in
        Section 6 above, which End User Support Agreement sets forth the terms and
        conditions under which Licensee will be entitled to receive such Product
        updates
        and other Product support as may be provided for therein. Notwithstanding
        the
        foregoing, however, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this
        Agreement, the Software to which the license granted herein pertains includes
        both the first and second versions of the "MARS" product as well as the
        java-enabled version combined with Licensor's "payment gateway" product
        currently in development. Accordingly, regardless of the terms of the particular
        agreement entered into by the parties as described above, Licensor hereby
        agrees
        to furnish to Licensee at no additional charge the java-enabled version of
        the
        Software when available.
 
 **9.**  **Successors**  **And
        Assigns** .
        This
        Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties
        and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Licensee
        may not assign or sublicense this Agreement in whole or in part to any person
        or
        entity not an Affiliate of Licensee without the prior written consent of
        Licensor, and any assignment or sublicense attempted without such consent
        will
        be void.
 
 **10.**  **Governing
        Law.** This
        agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
        Bermuda, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
 
 **11.**  **Miscellaneous** .
 
 (a)  Each
        party is an independent contractor under this Agreement, and nothing herein
        will
        be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship
        parties between the parties hereto. Any use of the term "partner" in any
        communication by or between the parties or on their individual or joint behalf
        or in any trademark or service mark to describe their relationship is intended
        solely in the colloquial sense of a valued business relationship, and does
        not
        indicate the existence of or an offer to enter into a legal partnership,
        joint
        agency or other relationship involving common ownership or joint and/or several
        liability with one another and/or any of their Affiliates. Neither party
        will
        incur any debt or make any express or implied agreement, guarantee, warranty
        or
        representation in the name or on behalf of the other without the other's
        express
        written authorization, and each party will be responsible for its own costs
        and
        expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. No failure or delay
        by
        either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate
        as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
        any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power
        or
        privilege hereunder. No remedy expressly provided in this Agreement for a
        breach
        will be the sole or exclusive remedy for such breach, and each party hereby
        reserves to itself, in addition to the remedies expressly provided to it
        in this
        Agreement, all remedies available to it under law and at equity. This Agreement
        may be amended, modified or waived only by a subsequent writing that
        specifically refers to this Agreement and that is signed by both parties,
        and no
        other act, document, usage, or custom will be deemed to amend this Agreement.
        Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will
        not
        affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. If any provision
        or
        provisions of this Agreement will be held, for any reason to be illegal,
        invalid
        or unenforceable in any circumstance, the remaining provisions will nonetheless
        be legal, valid and enforceable provisions, and the affected provision will
        remain legal, valid and enforceable in other circumstances. The terms of
        this
        Agreement that expressly or by implication are intended to continue beyond
        its
        termination will survive any such termination. Under local law and treaties,
        the
        restrictions and limitations of this Agreement may not apply to Licensee;
        Licensee may have other rights and remedies, and be subject to other
        restrictions and limitations.

 (b)  IN
        NO
        EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER UNDER THE LAW OF TORT, CONTRACT
        OR OTHERWISE, AND INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE, FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
        INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
        PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE HEREOF (EVEN IF THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY HAS
        BEEN
        ADVISED OF OR FORESEES A POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING), INCLUDING
        BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST BUSINESS REVENUE, FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED PROFITS
        OR
        SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF DATA.
 
 (c)  Neither
        party hereto shall be held liable hereunder for any default arising from
        the
        delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that
        such
        default or delay:
 (i)
              is
                  caused directly by an event beyond the reasonable control of the
                  defaulting or delaying party (the "Non-performing Party"), such
                  as, but
                  not restricted to, fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature,
                  acts of
                  war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions,
                  strikes, lockouts or labor difficulties; and
 
 ***Page
            - 51***
 (ii)
              could
                  not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot possibly
                  be
                  circumvented by the Non-performing Party through the use of commercially
                  reasonable alternative sources, work-around plans or other means;
                  (a
                  “Force Majeure Event”). The Non-performing Party will be excused from any
                  further performance of the obligations affected by such Force Majeure
                  Event for as long as the Force Majeure Event continues and the
                  Non-Performing Party continues to use its reasonable efforts to
                  recommence
                  performance. The Non-performing Party shall immediately notify
                  the other
                  party by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within five (5)
                  days of the
                  inception of the Force Majeure Event) and describe at a reasonable
                  level
                  of detail the circumstances causing such default or delay. During
                  the
                  continuance of a Force Majeure Event affecting Licensor, Licensee
                  shall
                  continue to pay Licensor’s charges for professional services actually
                  rendered and expenses incurred in the actual performance of such
                  services
                  in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision
                  hereof, this clause (c) will not excuse a breach of any purely
                  monetary
                  obligation.
 
 **12.**  **Joint
        and Several Responsibility.** Each
        of
        First Ecom and FEDS Asia acknowledge and agree that they are entering into
        this
        Agreement, and that they make the representations, warranties, covenants,
        agreements, indemnities and other undertakings and responsibilities of Licensor
        set forth herein, jointly and severally, with full recourse on the part of
        Licensee to either or both of them for the obligations and undertakings of
        Licensor contained herein. In this respect, each of First Ecom and FEDS Asia
        joins in this Agreement as primary obligor and not as surety, and Licensee
        shall
        not be required to proceed first against or exhaust its remedies against
        either
        of First Ecom or FEDS Asia as a condition to pr proceeding hereunder against
        the
        other with respect to any claim arising hereunder. Further, each of First
        Ecom
        and FEDS Asia hereby irrevocably and exclusively appoints First Ecom as its
        agent and attorney-in-fact for the giving or receipt of all notices or payments,
        the granting of all consents, approvals, or waivers, and the taking of all
        such
        other actions and making of all such other elections and/or decisions as
        shall
        be explicitly or implicitly provided or permitted herein to be given, received,
        granted, taken or made by or on behalf of Licensor or either of them (it
        being
        understood that omitting to take any action or make any election or decision
        shall be deemed the taking of an action or the making of any election or
        decision for this purpose), and to do all such acts and things as may in
        the
        opinion of such attorney-in-fact be reasonably necessary or reasonably expedient
        for the purposes thereof, or in connection therewith, and Licensee shall
        be
        entitled to rely conclusively on any of the foregoing as the action, decision
        or
        election, as the case may be, of each and both of First Ecom and FEDS Asia.
        Each
        of First Ecom and FEDS Asia agrees that the foregoing appointment constitutes
        a
        power coupled with an interest and shall be binding upon its successors and
        assigns. Any payments received by First Ecom hereunder that properly belong
        to
        FEDS Asia shall be held by First Ecom in trust for the benefit of FEDS Asia,
        and
        FEDS Asia hereby releases, discharges and agrees to hold harmless Licensee
        for
        any amounts payable to FEDS Asia that Licensee pays to First Ecom.

 **2.**  **Grant
        Of License Rights.** For
        good
        and valuable consideration in hand received, the receipt and sufficiency

 **3.**  **Title
        And Copyright** .
        Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that Licensor is the owner and
        holder of all rights, titles and interests in and to the Product, free and
        clear
        of all liens, charges, encumbrances, equities and claims of third parties
        of any
        description. There are no facts or alleged facts known to Licensor which
        would
        reasonably serve as a basis for any claim that Licensor does not have the
        right
        to grant the rights and licenses provided for herein. As between Licensor
        and
        Licensee, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, except as and to the extent
        otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, all title and copyrights
        in and
        to the Product, are and will remain, are and will remain the property of
        the
        Licensor and/or its affiliates and suppliers, and are protected by applicable
        copyright laws, and applicable international copyright treaties, and that
        Licensor neither grants hereby nor otherwise transfers hereby any rights
        of
        ownership therein to Licensee or to any third party. Licensee will not claim
        or
        assert title to or ownership of the Product except pursuant to a written
        agreement expressly entitling Licensee to claim or assert such title or
        ownership. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by Licensor and Licensee,
        will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Licensor, legally
        enforceable against Licensor in accordance with its terms, subject to the
        effect
        of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
        relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, limitations imposed
        by applicable law or equitable principles upon the specific enforceability
        of
        any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of this Agreement, and
        upon
        the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

            - 57***
 **4.**  **Restrictions** .
        Licensee will not remove or alter any copyright or proprietary notice from
        copies of the Product. Except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
        or
        any other express written agreement between the parties, Licensee agrees
        (a) not
        to decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive
        the
        Software’s source code from object code except to the extent expressly permitted
        by applicable law or treaty despite this limitation; and (b) to use reasonable
        care and protection to prevent the unauthorized use, copying, publication
        or
        dissemination of the Product. Licensor has the right to obtain injunctive
        relief
        against any actual or threatened violation of these restrictions, in addition
        to
        any other available remedies.
  **5.**  **Taxes
        And Additional Charges** .
        All
        license fees paid or payable by the Licensee for the license granted hereunder
        (this "License") do not include, and Licensor will be responsible for, any
        and
        all taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges now or
        hereafter imposed by any governmental authority on the purchase or sale of
        this
        License or the use or possession of the Product by Licensee and/or its
        Affiliates; provided, that Licensee will be responsible for its own corporate
        franchise taxes and taxes based upon its own net income.
  **6.**  **Limited
        Warranty.** Licensor
        warrants to Licensee that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the Effective
        Date, (i) the Documentation and Media will be, under normal use, free from
        physical defects, and (ii) the Software will perform in substantial accordance
        with the operating specifications contained in the Documentation that is
        most
        current at the Effective Date. If Licensee notifies Licensor within said
        ninety-day period of its belief that that either of these warranties has
        been
        breached, including a description of nature or circumstances of such breach,
        Licensor will be obligated to use reasonable efforts to remedy the defect(s)
        in
        question within a reasonable period of time or, at Licensor’s option, to replace
        the defective Product component at no additional charge. Licensor, its
        authorized distributors and its suppliers do not warrant that the Product
        will
        satisfy Licensee’s requirements, that the operation of the Product will be
        uninterrupted or error free, or that all software defects can be corrected.
        This
        warranty will be void if: (i) the Product is not used in accordance with
        the
        instructions set out in the Documentation, (ii) a Product defect has been
        caused
        by any of Licensee's or a third party's malfunctioning equipment, or (iii)
        Licensee has made modifications to the Product not expressly authorized in
        writing by Licensor.
 
 ***Page
            - 58***
  **7.**  **Indemnification
        For Infringement** .
        Licensor will defend or settle, at its own expense, any claim against Licensee
        by a third party asserting that Licensee's and/or its Affiliates’ use of the
        Product within the scope of this Agreement violates such third party’s patent,
        copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, and will
        indemnify Licensee against any damages finally awarded against Licensee arising
        out of such claimi. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor in writing after
        first receiving notice of any such claim, and Licensor will have sole control
        of
        the defense of any action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise,
        with Licensee's reasonable assistance; provided, that Licensee’s approval in
        writing shall be required of any settlement or compromise involving any
        admission of fault or wrongdoing on the part of Licensee, and provided, further,
        that Licensee may at Licensor's cost and expense take responsibility for
        its own
        defense if and to the extent that Licensee has any reasonable doubt as to
        the
        ability or willingness of Licensor to fund such defense or any award, settlement
        or compromise arising therefrom. Licensor will not be liable for any costs
        or
        expenditures incurred by Licensee without Licensor's prior written consent
        except insofar as Licensee reasonably determines that it is necessary or
        appropriate to incur such costs and expenses in order to preserve its legal
        or
        equitable rights and remedies, protect it from further such claims, or minimize
        the losses associated with claims so made. If an order is obtained against
        Licensee’s and/or its Affiliates' use of the Product by reason of any claimed
        infringement, or if in Licensor's opinion the Product is likely to become
        the
        subject of such a claim, Licensor will, at its option and expense, and in
        addition to any other rights s available to Licensee hereunder, either (i)
        procure for Licensee the right to ing the Product, or (ii) modify or replace
        the
        Product with a compatible, equivalent, non-infringing Product.
 
 **8.**  **Support** .
        Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Licensor and Licensee
        are entering into an End User Support Agreement under which Licensor will
        provide ongoing support and maintenance beyond the scope and time limits
        of the
        warranty period set forth in Section 6 above, which End User Support Agreement
        sets forth the terms and conditions under which Licensee will be entitled
        to
        receive such Product updates and other Product support as may be provided
        for
        therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is understood and agreed
        that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Software to which the license granted
        herein pertains includes both the first and second versions of the “Payment
        Gateway” product as well as the java-enable version combined with Licensor's
        "MARS" product currently in development. Accordingly, regardless of the terms
        of
        the particular agreement entered into by the parties as described above,
        Licensor hereby agrees to furnish to Licensee at no additional charge the
        java-enabled version of the Software when available.
 
 **9.**  **Successors
        And Assigns** .
        This
        Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties
        and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Licensee
        may not assign or sublicense this Agreement in whole or in part to any person
        or
        entity not an Affiliate of Licensee without the prior, written consent of
        Licensor, and any assignment or sublicense attempted without such consent
        will
        be void.
 
 **10.**  **Governing
        Law** .
        This
        agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
        Bermuda, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
 
 **11.**  **Miscellaneous.**
 
 (a)  Each
        party is an independent contractor under this Agreement, and nothing herein
        will
        be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship
        between the parties hereto. Any use of the term "partner" in any communication
        by or between the parties or on their individual or joint behalf or in any
        trademark or service mark to describe their relationship is intended solely
        in
        the colloquial sense of a valued business relationship, and does not indicate
        the existence of or an offer to enter into a legal partnership, joint agency
        or
        other relationship involving common ownership or joint and/or several liability
        with one another and/or any of their Affiliates. Neither party will incur
        any
        debt or make any express or implied agreement, guarantee, warranty or
        representation, in the name or on behalf of the other without the other’s
        express written authorization, and each party will be responsible for its
        own
        costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. No failure
        or
        delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
        will
        operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof
        preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right,
        power or priviledge hereunder. No remedy expressly provided in this Agreement
        for a breach will be the sole or exclusive remedy for such breach, and each
        party hereby reserves to itself, in addition to the remedies expressly provided
        to it in this Agreement, all remedies available to it under law and at equity.
        This Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only by a subsequent writing
        that specifically refers to this Agreement and that is signed by both parties,
        and no other act, document, usage, or custom wil1 be deemed to amend this
        Agreement. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
        and
        will not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. If
        any
        provision or provisions of this Agreement will be held, for any-reason, to
        be
        illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any circumstance, the remaining provisions
        will nonetheless be legal, valid and enforceable provisions, and the affected
        provision will remain legal, valid and enforceable in other circumstances.
        The
        terms of this Agreement that expressly or by implication are intended to
        continue beyond its termination will survive any such termination. Under
        local
        law and treaties, the restrictions and limitations of this Agreement may
        not
        apply to Licensee; Licensee may have other rights and remedies, and by subject
        to other restrictions and limitations.

  (b)  IN
        NO
        EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE  OTHER
        UNDER THE LAW OF TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, AND INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF
        NEGLIGENCE, FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
        OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE HEREOF EVEN IF
        THE
        RESPONSIBLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR FORESEES A POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH
        DAMAGES OCCURRING), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST BUSINESS REVENUE, FAILURE
        TO REALIZE EXPECTED PROFITS OR SAVINGS OR LOSS OF DATA.
 
 (c)  neither
        party hereto shall be held liable hereunder for any default arising
 from
        the
        delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that
        such
        default or delay:
 (i)  is
        caused
        directly by an event beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting or delaying
        party (the "Non-performing Party"), such as, but not restricted to, fire,
        flood,
        earthquake, elements of nature, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders,
        rebellions or revolutions, strikes, lockouts or labor difficulties; and
  (ii)  could
        not
        have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot possibly be
        circumvented by the Non-performing Party through the use of commercially
        reasonable alternative sources, work-around plans or other means; (“Force
        Majeure Event”). The Non-performing Party will be excused from any further
        performance of the obligations affected by such Force Majeure Event for as
        long
        as the Force Majeure Event continues and the Non-Performing Party continues
        to
        use its reasonable efforts to  recommence
        performance.  The
        Non-performing Party shall immediately notify the other party by telephone
        (to
        be confirmed in writing within five (5) days of the inception of the Force
        Majeure Event) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances
        causing such default or delay. During the continuance of a Force Majeure
        Event
        affecting Licensor, Licensee shall continue to pay Licensor's charges for
        professional services actually rendered and expenses incurred in the actual
        performance of such services in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding
        any other provision hereof, this clause (c) will not excuse a breach of any
        purely monetary obligation.

  **3.**  **Title
        And Copyright.** Licensor
        represents and warrants to Licensee that Licensor is the owner and holder
        of all
        rights, titles and interests in and to the Product, free and clear of all
        liens,
        charges, encumbrances, equities and claims of third parties of any description.
        There are no facts or alleged facts known to Licensor which would reasonably
        serve as a basis for any claim that Licensor does not have the right to grant
        the rights and licenses provided for herein. As between Licensor and Licensee,
        Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, except as and to the extent otherwise
        agreed in writing between the parties, all title and copyrights in and to
        the
        Product, including without limitation the original code or other copyrightable
        material embedded in any derivative works thereof created by or on behalf
        of
        Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, are and will remain the property of
        Licensor and/or its affiliates and suppliers, and are protected by applicable
        copyright laws, and applicable international copyright treaties, and that
        Licensor neither grants hereby nor otherwise transfers hereby any rights
        of
        ownership therein to Licensee or to any third party; provided, however, that
        any
        incremental additional code or other copyrightable material created by or
        for
        Licensee or its Affiliates shall be the property of Licensee or its Affiliates,
        as applicable, and shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth herein
        except to the extent such incremental material incorporates, is embedded
        in or
        bundled with the Product. Licensee will not claim or assert title to or
        ownership of the Product except pursuant to a written agreement expressly
        entitling Licensee to claim or assert such title or ownership. This Agreement,
        when executed and delivered by Licensor and Licensee, will constitute the
        valid
        and legally binding obligation of Licensor, legally enforceable against Licensor
        in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
        the
        rights of creditors generally, limitations imposed by applicable law or
        equitable principles upon the specific enforceability of any remedies, covenants
        or other provisions of this Agreement, and upon the availability of injunctive
        relief or other equitable remedies.
 
 **4.**  **Restrictions.** Licensee
        will not remove or alter any copyright or proprietary notice from copies
        of the
        Product. Except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other
        express written agreement between the parties, Licensee agrees (a) not to
        sell,
        rent, lease, license, sublicense, display, modify, time share, outsource
        or
        otherwise transfer the Product or any derivative work of the Product to,
        or
        permit the use of the Product or any derivative work of the Product by, any
        third party not an affiliate of Licensee, *provided,* without
        limiting the scope of the license grant hereinabove stated, it is understood
        and
        agreed that this Agreement permits the use of any derivative work of the
        Product
        by Licensee and its Affiliates in support of services rendered to their
        customers in the normal course of their trade or business; and (b) to use
        reasonable care and protection to prevent the unauthorized use, copying,
        publication or dissemination of the Product. Licensor has the right to obtain
        injunctive relief against any actual or threatened violation of these
        restrictions, in addition to any other available remedies.
 
 **5.**  **Taxes
        And Additional Charges.** All
        license fees paid or payable by the Licensee for the license granted hereunder
        (this "License") do not include, and Licensor will be responsible for, any
        and
        all taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges now or
        hereafter imposed by any governmental authority on the purchase or sale of
        this
        License or the use or possession of the Product by Licensee and/or its
        Affiliates; provided that Licensee will be responsible for its own corporate
        franchise taxes and taxes based upon its own net income.
 
 **6.**  **Limited
        Warranty.** Licensor
        warrants to Licensee that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the Effective
        Date, (i) the Documentation and Media will be, under normal use, free from
        physical defects, and (ii) the Software will perform in substantial accordance
        with the operating specifications contained in the Documentation that is
        most
        current at the Effective Date. If Licensee notifies Licensor within said
        ninety-day period of its belief that either of these warranties has been
        breached, including a description of the nature or circumstances of such
        breach,
        Licensor will be obligated to use reasonable efforts to remedy the defect(s)
        in
        question within a reasonable period of time or, at Licensor’s option, to replace
        the defective Product component at no additional charge. Licensor, its
        authorized distributors and its suppliers do not warrant that the Product
        will
        satisfy Licensee’s requirements, that the operation of the Product will be
        uninterrupted or error free, or that all software defects can be corrected,
        This
        warranty will be void if: (i) the Product is not used in accordance with
        the
        instructions set out in the Documentation, (ii) a Product defect has been
        caused
        by any of Licensee's or a third party's malfunctioning equipment, or (iii)
        Licensee has made modifications to the Product not expressly ** authorized
        in writing by Licensor.

  **7.**  **Indemnification
        For Infringement.** Licensor
        will defend or settle, at its own expense, any claim against Licensee by
        a third
        party asserting that Licensee's and/or its Affiliates’ use of the Product within
        the scope of this Agreement violates such third party’s patent, copyright,
        trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, and will indemnify Licensee
        against any damages finally awarded against Licensee arising out of such
        claim.
        Licensee will promptly notify Licensor in writing after first receiving notice
        of any such claim, and Licensor will have sole control of the defense of
        any
        action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, with Licensee's
        reasonable assistance; provided, that Licensee's approval in writing shall
        be
        required of any settlement or compromise involving any admission of fault
        or
        wrongdoing on the part of Licensee, and provided, further, that Licensee
        may at
        Licensor's cost and expense take responsibility for its own defense if and
        to
        the extent that Licensee has any reasonable doubt as to the ability or
        willingness of Licensor to fund such defense or any award, settlement or
        compromise arising therefrom. Licensor will not be liable for any costs or
        expenditures incurred by Licensee without Licensor's prior written consent
        except insofar as Licensee reasonably determines that it is necessary or
        appropriate to incur such costs and expenses in order to preserve its legal
        or
        equitable rights and remedies, protect it from further such claims, or minimize
        the losses associated with claims so made. If an order is obtained against
        the
        Licensee's and/or its Affiliates' use of the Product by reason of any claimed
        infringement, or if in Licensor's opinion the Product is likely to become
        the
        subject of such a claim, Licensor will, at its option and expense, and in
        addition to any other rights and remedies available to Licensee hereunder,
        either (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the product,
        or (ii)
        modify or replace the Product with a compatible functionally equivalent,
        non-infringing Product.
 
 **8.**  **Support** .
        Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Licensor and Licensee
        are entering into an End User Support Agreement under which Licensor will
        provide ongoing support and maintenance beyond the scope and time limits
        of the
        warranty period set forth in Section 6 above, which End User Support Agreement
        sets forth the terms and conditions under which Licensee will be entitled
        to
        receive such Product updates and other Product support as may be provided
        for
        therein.
 
 **9.**  **Successors
        And Assigns.** This
        Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties
        and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Licensee
        may not assign or sublicense this Agreement in whole or in part to any person
        or
        entity not an Affiliate of Licensee without the prior written consent of
        Licensor, and any assignment or sublicense attempted without such consent
        will
        be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason both First Ecom
        and
        FEDS Asia cease doing business, or both discontinue maintenance and support
        for
        the Software or any portion thereof, then in either case, unless the Software
        or
        portion thereof so affected has been conveyed to a third party, the license
        granted hereunder shall thereupon automatically and without need for further
        action by either party become transferable, and the restrictions contained
        herein on disclosure or dissemination to third parties of the Product or
        derivative works thereof shall thenceforth be of no force or
        effect.
 
 **10.**  **Governing
        Law.** This
        agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
        Bermuda, without regard to conf1icts of law principles.
 
 **11.**
              **Miscellaneous.**
 
 (a)  Each
        party is an independent contractor under this Agreement, and nothing herein
        will
        be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship
        between the parties hereto. Any use of the term "partner" in any communication
        by or between the parties or on their individual or joint behalf or in any
        trademark or service to describe their relationship is intended solely in
        the
        colloquial sense of a valued business relationship, and does not indicate
        the
        existence of or an offer to enter into a legal partnership, joint agency
        or
        other relationship involving common ownership or joint and/or several liability
        with one another and/or any of their Affiliates. Neither party will incur
        any
        debt or make any express or implied agreement, guarantee, warranty or
        representation in the name or on behalf of the other without the others express
        written authorization, and each party will be responsible for its own costs
        and
        expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. No failure or delay
        by
        either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate
        as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
        any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power
        or
        privilege hereunder. No remedy expressly provided in this Agreement for a
        breach
        will be the sole or exclusive remedy for such breach, and each party hereby
        reserves to itself, in addition to the remedies expressly provided to it
        in this
        Agreement, all remedies available to it under law and at equity. This Agreement
        may be amended, modified or waived only by a subsequent writing that
        specifically refers to this Agreement and that is signed by both parties,
        and no
        other act, document, usage, or custom will be deemed to amend this Agreement.
        Headings in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and
        will
        not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. If any
        provision or provisions of this Agreement will be held, for any reason, to
        be
        illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any circumstance, the remaining provisions
        will nonetheless be legal, valid and enforceable provisions, and the affected
        provision will remain legal, valid and enforceable in other circumstances.
        The
        terms of this Agreement that expressly or by implication are intended to
        continue beyond its termination will survive any such termination. Under
        local
        law and treaties, the restrictions and limitations of this Agreement may
        not
        apply to Licensee; Licensee may have other rights and remedies, and be subject
        to other restrictions and limitations.

  (b)   IN
        NO
        EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER, UNDER THE LAW OF TORT, CONTRACT
        OR OTHER WISE, AND INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE, FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
        INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
        PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE HEREOF EVEN IF THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY HAS BEEN
        ADVISED OF OR FORESEES A LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING), INCLUDING
        BUT
        NOT LIMITED. TO LOST BUSINESS REVENUE, FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED PROFITS
        OR
        SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF DATA.
 
 (c)   Neither
        party hereto shall be held liable hereunder for any default arising from
        the
        delay  in
        the
        performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that such default
        or
        delay:
 
 (i)  is
        caused
        directly by an event beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting party
        or
        delaying party (the “Non-performing Party”), such as, but not restricted to,
        fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature, acts of war, terrorism, riots,
        civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, strikes, lockouts or labor
        difficulties; and
 
 
 (ii)  could
        not
        have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot
 possibly
        be circumvented by the Non-performing Party through the use of commercially
        reasonable alternative sources, work-around plans or other means; (a “Force
        Majeure Event”). The Non-performing Party will be excused from any further
        performance of the obligations affected by such Force Majeure Event for as
        long
        as the Force Majeure Event continues and the Non-Performing Party continues
        to
        use its reasonable efforts to recommence performance. The Non-performing
        Party
        shall immediately notify the other party by telephone (to be confirmed in
        writing within five (5) days of the inception of the Force Majeure Event)
        and
        describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such default
        or delay. During the continuance of a Force Majeure Event affecting Licensor,
        Licensee shaIl continue to pay Licensor's charges for professional services
        actually rendered and expenses incurred in the actual performance of such
        services in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions
        hereof, this clause (c) will not excuse a breach of any purely monetary
        obligation.
 
 **12.**   **Joint
        and Several Responsibility.** Each
        of
        First Ecom and FEDS Asia acknowledge and agree that they are entering into
        this
        Agreement, and that they make the representations, warranties, covenants,
        agreements, indemnities and other undertakings and responsibilities of Licensor
        set forth herein, jointly and severally, with full **** recourse
        on the part of Licensee to either or both of them for the obligations and
        undertakings of Licensor contained herein. In this respect, each of First
        Ecom
        and FEDS Asia joins in this Agreement as primary obligor and not as surety,
        and
        Licensee shall not be required to proceed first against or exhaust its remedies
        against either of First Ecom or FEDS Asia as a condition to proceeding hereunder
        against the other with respect to any claim arising hereunder. Further, each
        of
        First Ecom and FEDS Asia hereby irrevocably and exclusively appoints First
        Ecom
        as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the giving or receipt of all notices
        or
        payments, the granting of all consents, approvals, or waivers, and the taking
        of
        all such other actions and making of all such other elections and/or decisions
        as shall be explicitly or implicitly provided or permitted herein to be given,
        received, granted, taken or made by or on behalf of Licensor or either of
        them
        (it being understood that omitting to take any action or make any election
        or
        decision shall be deemed the taking of an action or the making of any election
        or decision for this purpose), and to do all such acts and things as may
        in the
        opinion of such attorney-in-fact be reasonably necessary or reasonably expedient
        for the purposes thereof, or in connection therewith, the Licensee shall
        be
        entitled to rely conclusively on any of the foregoing as the action, decision
        or
        election, as the case may be, of each and both of First Ecom and FEDS Asia.
        Each
        of First Ecom and FEDS Asia agrees that the foregoing appointment constitutes
        a
        power coupled with an interest and shall be binding upon its successors and
        assigns. Any payments received by First Ecom hereunder that properly belong
        to
        FEDS Asia shall be held by First Ecom  in
        trust
        for the benefit of FEDS Asia, and FEDS Asia hereby releases, discharges and
        agrees to hold harmless Licensee for any amounts payable to FEDS Asia that
        Licensee pays  to
        First
        Ecom.
