                                   RECITALS

A.   Chase is the global leader in providing financial information and
transaction services.

B.   DATALINK has developed and owns all rights to: 1) a proprietary information
processing system that uses intelligent agent technologies to filter and deliver
Information Services, including personal information and third party
information, through wireless and other communications networks and technology
at event driven, prearranged times or on demand to text-displaying wireless
communications devices ("Wireless Technology" or "Wireless Infrastructure"); and
2) proprietary software products and Information Services ("Services" or
"Products" or "Systems"), one of which is a professional financial product
marketed under the name "Global Market Pro".

C.   Chase and DataLink have worked together and have expressed an interest in
mutually cooperating toward, among other things, the development and production
of enhancements to the Global Market Pro system by means of tracking exchange
and non-exchange traded data and news (the "System").

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in the
Warrant issued by Datalink to Chase concurrently herewith (the "Warrant") and
dependent provisions hereinafter set forth, the parties, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

1.   The foregoing RECITALS are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part
     of this Agreement as if they were fully set forth in this part of this
     Agreement.

2.   All of Chase's patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual
     property rights that were developed by Chase prior to this Agreement or
     independent of the Agreement shall be owned by Chase and DataLink shall
     have no ownership or use rights therein except as set forth in this
     Agreement.

3.   All of Datalink's patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual
     property rights that were developed by DataLink prior to this Agreement or
     independent of the Agreement shall be owned by DataLink and Chase shall
     have no ownership or use rights therein except as set forth in this
     Agreement and the license agreement dated June 9, 2000 (Chase Agreement No.
     55210).

                                       1

4.   For purposes of this Agreement, "Work Product" shall mean all materials or
     other work product created or developed under this Agreement in connection
     with the System by DataLink and/or Chase (tangible, recorded or otherwise,
     and without regard to the form of recordation or state of completion);
     including, without limitation, working papers, narrative descriptions,
     reports, data, tapes, diskettes, software and all materials of similar
     character; provided however that Work Product shall not include any
     Underlying Chase Technology, as defined below. For purposes of this
     Agreement "Underlying Chase Technology" shall mean Chase's proprietary
     technology, processes and methodologies, including Chase's software tools,
     hardware designs, frameworks, algorithms, software code (in source and
     object forms), user interface designs, models, architecture, class
     libraries, objects and documentation (both printed and electronic), and any
     related intellectual property rights throughout the world existing at the
     Effective Date, and also including any derivatives, improvements,
     enhancements or extensions of Underlying Chase Technology conceived,
     reduced to practice, or developed under this Agreement that are not
     uniquely applicable to the System or that have general applicability in the
     art.

5.   Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from using General
     Knowledge. General Knowledge means ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques
     related to the System that are retained in the unaided memories of either
     party's employees who have had access to information consistent with terms
     of this Agreement. An employee's memory is unaided if the employee has not
     intentionally memorized the information for the purpose of retaining and
     subsequently using or disclosing it. General Knowledge does not include
     trade secrets. All General Knowledge is subject to all-valid patents and
     copyrights. Nothing in this provision shall give either party the right to
     disclose, publish or disseminate the source of General Knowledge or the
     specific financial, statistical or personal data or business plans of the
     other party. For the purposes of this Agreement, General Knowledge also
     shall include, without limitation, information publicly known or that could
     reasonably have been acquired in similar work performed for a third party.

6.   Subject to Chase's rights in the Underlying Chase Technology, all Work
     Product, is, or shall be, upon creation, the exclusive property of
     DataLink. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Chase
     grants to DataLink a non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-
     free, perpetual, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, modify, enhance
     and copy the Underlying Chase Technology to the extent (if at all) it is
     incorporated into the Work Product in order to use the Work Product .

7.   Subject to Chase's rights in the Underlying Chase Technology, all
     copyrights, patents and trade secret rights therein, and the rights to
     register or apply therefor, in or relating to Work Product, shall likewise
     be the exclusive property of DataLink. Any part of the Work Product created
     in whole or in part by Chase's employees and comprising copyrightable
     subject matter is agreed to be "work made for hire" pursuant to the
     Copyright Act of 1976 as from time to time amended. To the extent that any
     Work Product is other than a work made for hire, Chase hereby makes a
     continuing assignment of any and all part of the Work Product created by
     Chase's employees to DataLink. Chase and Chase's employees shall, promptly
     at the request of DataLink, execute any and all documentation reasonably

                                       2

     requested by Datalink to evidence such transfer including, without
     limitation, specific assignments.

8.   Flora Golshan, a Chase employee, is one of the inventors in the provisional
     patent application entitled Global Market Professional, filed on June 16,
     2000 ("the System Patent"). DataLink shall file all necessary papers with
     the US Patent and Trademark to name Ms. Golshan as an inventor on the
     System Patent. Ms. Golshan shall execute the assignment in the form
     attached hereto as Exhibit A upon the Effective Date of this Agreement and
     any other document necessary to confirm assignment of rights to DataLink in
     connection with the System Patent.

9.   DataLink covenants not to sue Chase, its parent corporation The Chase
     Manhattan Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers,
     and directors, anywhere in connection with the development, use and
     deployment of Chase's web to wireless information products and services,
     which actions constitute, or may constitute, infringement or other
     violation of any patent rights of DataLink.

          ------------------------                    ---------------

     party, nor disclose to any third party, any such Confidential Information
     revealed to it by the Disclosing Party, except as expressly otherwise
     provided in this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall take every reasonable
     precaution to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information. The
     Receiving Party shall not publish any technical description of the
     Disclosing Party's Confidential Information beyond any descriptions
     published by the Disclosing Party. In the event of expiration or
     termination of this Agreement, there shall be no use or disclosure by the
     Receiving Party of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party,
     and the Receiving Party shall not develop any software, devices, components
     or assemblies utilizing the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

 (b) Exclusions.  Confidential Information does not include any information
     ----------
     that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written records: (a) was known
     to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure hereunder by the Disclosing
     Party; (b) is independently developed by the Receiving Party; (c) is or
     becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (d)
     has been rightfully received from a third party whom the Receiving Party
     has reasonable grounds to believe is authorized to make such disclosure
     without restriction; (e) has been approved for public release by the
     Disclosing Party's prior written authorization; or (f) must be produced or
     disclosed pursuant to applicable law, regulation or court order, provided
     that the Receiving Party provides prompt advance notice thereof to enable
     the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such
     disclosure.
