Sale requests under the Program will typically be combined with other sale requests received from Client shareholders and Shares will be submitted in bulk to an affiliated registered broker/dealer for sale. Shares will be sold under the Program generally within one business day of Agent's receipt (on behalf of such banking affiliate) of the sale request, but in no event more than five business days (except where deferral is necessary under state or federal regulations). The price per Share received by the selling shareholder under the Program will equal the market price Agent (on behalf of such banking affiliate) receives for the Shares (or, if more than one bulk trade is executed on the day the Shares are sold, then the price per Share shall equal the weighted average market price received for all Shares sold that day).

Prior Agent Out-of-Proof Conditions: If an out-of-proof condition exists on the Effective Date, and such condition is not resolved within 90 calendar days thereafter, Client agrees to provide Agent with funds or shares sufficient to resolve the out-of-proof condition promptly upon the expiration of such 90 day period.

Lost Certificates: Agent shall charge shareholders an administrative fee for replacement of lost certificates, which shall be charged only once in instances where a single surety bond obtained covers multiple certificates. Agent may receive compensation from surety companies or surety agents for administrative services provided to them.

Legal Expenses, System Modifications: Certain expenses may be incurred in resolving legal matters, including receiving and responding to routine subpoenas that arise in the course of performing services hereunder. This may result in a separate charge to cover Agent's expenses (including the cost of external or internal counsel) in resolving such matters; provided that any legal expenses charged to the Client shall be reasonable.

In the event any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations are enacted that require Agent to (i) make any adjustments and/or modifications to its current system, or (ii) B-7





provide additional services to Client for which Agent is not being compensated hereunder, then Client shall compensate Agent (a) on a pro rata basis proportionate to the Client's registered shareholder base, for the costs associated with making such required adjustments and/or modifications, or (b) according to Agent's standard fees established, in good faith, with respect to such additional services.

Initial Compliance Escheatment Services: If, at the time escheat services are commenced for any asset type, Client is not in compliance with applicable state unclaimed property regulations with respect to that asset type, then Agent shall provide initial compliance services, which shall include working with one or more state unclaimed property clearinghouses to identify specific reportable records and property, and organizing and formatting such records and property for remittance to the applicable states, as required. Where applicable, in concert with state clearinghouses, Agent shall also attempt to obtain releases and indemnification agreements protecting Client from interest and penalties that may be assessable against Client by the states for prior non-compliance. If a release or indemnification agreement is not so obtained from a state, Client may be responsible for interest and/or penalties from such state for prior non-compliance. Agent may receive compensation from state clearinghouses for the processing and support services it provides to them in connection with initial compliance services.

Cash Dividends and Distributions: For any dividend mailing, Client shall, no later than 10 am Eastern Time on the mail date for the dividend, provide to Agent immediately available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash dividends to be paid. Upon receipt of any such funds, Agent shall (a) in the case of registered shareholders who are participants in a dividend reinvestment plan of Client as of the record date, reinvest such funds in accordance with the terms of such plan, and (b) in the case of registered shareholders who are not participants in any such plan as of the record date, make payment of such funds to such shareholders by mailing a check, payable to the registered shareholder, to the address of record or, if different, dividend mailing address. If Agent has not timely received sufficient funds to make payments of any dividend or distribution pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above to all registered shareholders of Client as of the record date, Agent shall notify Client and withhold all payments until Client has provided sufficient funds to Agent.

Other Services: Fees, out of pocket expenses and disbursements for any services, including, but not limited to, down posting for odd lots, provided to Client or any of its agents or representatives by or on behalf of Agent hereunder that are not set forth above will be based on Agent's standard fees at the time such services are provided or, if no standard fees have been established, an appraisal of the work to be performed.

The purpose and intent of this strategic alliance is to combine the resources and talents of, TKCI and SIC, in order to take advantage of every opportunity permitted by tribal sovereignty to create revenue streams in multiple areas in conjunction with operating partners that have existing marketing and customers in place, thereby limiting the capital requirements and risk. New marketing advantages based upon competitive pricing, cross marketing and new revenue streams from expansion into other industries will grow the business beyond anything previously imagined. The structure may also be used for additional compatible acquisitions which will also fuel growth. TKCI believes that structuring operations with Tribal Sovereignty will deliver the financial advantages of operating in a tax free environment with limited liability, plus other benefits such as permit and zoning ease, supporting an ideal structure for investment capital and successful entrepreneurial ventures.

Such reports shall be provided to theglobe on at least a monthly basis in an electronic format that is easily decoded in an automated manner for import into theglobe's statistics database, and the file shall be a  delimited text file with each line corresponding to an event and including the information outlined above.

     8.4  Termination for Changes.

Thus, in the event that this Agreement terminates under Section 8.2  [Termination for Failure to Perform] due to Boxlot's failure to perform (excluding the cross-reference to Section 12.7  [Force Majeure]) prior to the end of the applicable year, Boxlot shall immediately pay to theglobe the amount necessary to pay the total year's placement fee for that year.  Boxlot waives any right to assert that the foregoing fee is a liquidated damage or a penalty.

  OTHER PARTY IN AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT BOXLOT ACTUALLY PAYS TO THEGLOBE HEREUNDER.

12.  GENERAL.

     12.1  Compliance with Laws. At its own expense, Boxlot shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding providing and operating the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Boxlot shall (a) obtain all governmental approval, permits and licenses, and make all governmental filings and registrations, necessary for the marketing and performance of the Service in every United States jurisdiction, (b) ensure that theglobe is not required to obtain any governmental approval, permits or licenses as a result of this Agreement, theglobe's performance hereunder or any payments made to theglobe hereunder, and (c) promptly resolve any assertions that the Service is illegal or violating a protected third party interest.

     12.2  Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws principles. Both parties submit to personal jurisdiction in New York and further agree that any cause of action arising under this Agreement shall be brought in a court in New York City, NY.

     12.3  Publicity. Prior to the release of any press releases or other similar promotional materials related to this Agreement, the releasing party shall submit a written request for approval to the other party with a copy of the materials to be released, which request shall be made no less than 3 business days prior to the requested release date. A party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay the granting of its approval of such materials. The parties shall issue the first press release jointly.

     12.4  Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture or employment relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Neither party shall make any warranties or representations on behalf of the other party.

     12.5  Assignment.  Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder (except to an affiliated company, or to a successor in interest in the event of a merger, sale of assets of the business to which this Agreement is related, or consolidation) without the other party's prior written consent, and any purported attempt to do so is null and void.

     12.6  Severability; Headings.  If any provision herein is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.  The parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.  Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.

     12.7  Force Majeure.  Except as otherwise provided, if performance hereunder (other than payment) is interfered with by any condition beyond a party's reasonable control, the affected party, upon giving prompt notice to the other party, shall be excused from such performance to

                                       9

  the extent of such condition. However, if a force majeure detrimentally affects a party's performance of a material covenant hereunder for 14 days or more, the other party can terminate this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that website operations may be affected by numerous factors outside of a party's control. In the case of Boxlot's performance, a Boxlot force majeure includes theglobe's failure to perform its obligations described in this Agreement or an outage that affects the entire Internet in the United States; however, in no event shall a failure of any Boxlot supplier or vendor be deemed a Boxlot force majeure.

This Agreement may be changed only by a writing signed by both parties.  The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Boxlot shall grant to theglobe, pursuant to industry- standard terms negotiated between the parties in good faith, immediately vested options to purchase shares of common stock equal to up to 4% of Boxlot's fully diluted capital stock (in accordance with the chart below).

The only login or registration that should be required to access the Service or the Co-Branded Pages is theglobe Site's login or registration.  Because Boxlot hosts the Service and the Co-Branded Pages, theglobe will pass to Boxlot information about each User accessing the Service or the Co-Branded Pages as described below:

 .    Accounts will be created for each User via a one-time welcome page      (hosted by theglobe) when the User tries to access the portion of the      Service requiring such registration for the first time.

 .    The welcome page will include registration fields for any information      about the User needed to use the Service but not currently in theglobe's      database.

 .    The welcome page will include a Privacy Policy informing the User that      their data is being passed to a third party (Boxlot) in order to use the      Services.

 .    Any additional required User information is collected and entered into      theglobe's database. Then, the required User information is sent to Boxlot      all at once to create the new account. theglobe will include the User's      username and UserID# in the data passed to Boxlot.

Additional notes on account creation:

 .    The User will only see the Welcome page until they consent to the privacy      policy and enter any required information. This page will not appear after      the User completes the initial account creation process.

 .    Account information stored on Boxlot's servers in connection to the Service      will need to be kept in parity with theglobe. To do so, the parties shall      work together to implement a mechanism for updating information on Boxlot's      servers when User information changes on theglobe Site.

 .    The technology used to pass the data to Boxlot for account creation and      ongoing account updates will be determined jointly by Boxlot and theglobe.

 .    The UserID# theglobe passes to Boxlot during account creation will be      stored by Boxlot in association with each User. This UserID# is necessary      to link individual user reporting and individual account updates between      Boxlot and theglobe on an ongoing basis.
