EXHIBIT 10.2

WEBMD CORPORATION

2003 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

FOR EMPLOYEES OF ADVANCED BUSINESS FULFILLMENT, INC.

ARTICLE 1

Purpose

      1.1    General. The purpose of the WebMD Corporation 2003 Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan for Employees of Advanced Business Fulfillment, Inc. (the
“Plan”) is to induce employees of Advanced Business Fulfillment, Inc. (“ABF”)
to remain employees of ABF following WebMD Corporation’s (the “Corporation”)
acquisition of ABF pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June
14, 2003 (the “Purchase Agreement”) and to motivate such employees to promote
the success, and enhance the value, of the Corporation, by linking the personal
interests of such employees to those of Corporation shareholders and by
providing such employees with an incentive for outstanding performance. The
Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Corporation in its
ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of employees upon whose
judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of ABF’s
operation is largely dependent. Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of
non-qualified options from time to time to selected employees.

ARTICLE 2

Effective Date

      2.1    Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the date upon
which it shall be approved by the Board (the “Effective Date”); provided,
however, that in the event the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement does not occur, this Plan shall be null, void and of no
further force and effect.

from time to time, the Plan may be administered by the Board. It is intended
that the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be “non-employee
directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act)
and “outside directors” (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and the
regulations thereunder) to the extent that Rule 16b-3 and, if necessary for
relief from the limitation under Code Section 162(m) and such relief is sought
by the Corporation, Code Section 162(m), respectively, are applicable. However,
the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify under either of the
foregoing requirements shall not invalidate any Option made by the Committee
which Option is otherwise validly made under the Plan. The members of the
Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and from time
to time in the discretion of, the Board. During any time that the Board is
acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers of the
Committee hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than in
this Section 4.1) shall include the Board.

      4.2.    Action by the Committee. For purposes of administering the Plan,
the following rules of procedure shall govern the Committee. A majority of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved
unanimously in writing by the members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting,
shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is
entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information
furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Corporation or
any Parent or Subsidiary, the Corporation’s independent certified public
accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional
retained by the Corporation to assist in the administration of the Plan.

      4.3.    Authority of Committee. Except as provided below, the Committee has
the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:

     (a)    Designate Participants;

     (b)    Determine the number of shares of Stock to which an Option will
relate;

     (c)    Determine the terms and conditions of any Option granted under
the Plan, including but not limited to, the exercise price, the term of
the Option, any restrictions or limitations on the Option, any schedule
for lapse of restrictions on the exercisability of an Option, and
accelerations or waivers thereof, based in each case on such
considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines;

     (d)    Accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Option, based in each
case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion
determines;

3

 

     (e)    Prescribe the form of each Option Agreement, which need not be
identical for each Participant;

     (f)    Decide all other matters that must be determined in connection
with an Option;

     (g)    Establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may
deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan;

     (h)    Make all other decisions and determinations that may be
required under the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable
to administer the Plan; and

     (i)    Amend the Plan or any Option Agreement as provided herein.

      Notwithstanding the above, the Board or the Committee may expressly
delegate to a special committee consisting of one or more officers of the
Corporation some or all of the Committee’s authority set forth above with
respect to those eligible Participants, who at the time of grant are not, and
are not anticipated to become, either (i) Covered Employees or (ii) persons
subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, provided that such delegation is in
accordance with Section 157 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      4.4.    Decisions Binding. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any
Option granted under the Plan, any Option Agreement and all decisions and
determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding,
and conclusive on all parties.

ARTICLE 5

Shares Subject to the Plan

      5.1.    Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.1,
the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for Options
shall be 3.6 million shares.

      5.2.    Lapsed Options. To the extent that an Option is canceled,
terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason, any shares of Stock
subject to the Option will again be available for the grant of an Option under
the Plan.

      5.3.    Stock Distributed. Any Stock issued pursuant to an Option may
consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock
or Stock purchased on the open market.

      5.4.    Limitation on Options. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to
the contrary (but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.1), the
maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to one or more Options that may
be granted during any one calendar year under the Plan to any one Participant
shall be 700,000.

ARTICLE 6

Eligibility

      6.1.    General. Options may be granted only to individuals who are

ARTICLE 7

TERMS OF STOCK OPTION

      7.1.    General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to
Participants on the following terms and conditions:

     (a)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock under an
Option shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than
100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

     (b)    Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine
the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in
part, subject to Section 7.1(e). The Committee also shall determine the
performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before
all or part of an Option may be exercised. The Committee may waive any
exercise provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as
the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that the Option
becomes exercisable at an earlier date. Unless the Option Agreement
states otherwise, an Option shall vest in the following manner: 25% per
year commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

     (c)    Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which
the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment,
including, without limitation, cash, shares of Stock, or other property
(including “cashless exercise” arrangements through a broker), and the
methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be
delivered to Participants; provided, however, that if shares of Stock are
used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such shares must have been
held by the Participant for at least six months.

     (d)    Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by a written
Option Agreement between the Corporation and the Participant. The Option
Agreement shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan,
as may be specified by the Committee.

     (e)    Exercise Term. In no event may any Option be exercisable for
more than ten years from the date of its grant.

     (f)    Termination of Employment.

     (1)    In the event that a Participant’s employment with the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents terminates for
any reason (other than Cause), the Participant (or the
Participant’s estate) shall, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Option Agreement, be entitled to exercise the
Participant’s Options which have become vested as of the date of
termination for a period of 90 days (one year in the event of death
or Permanent Disability) following the date of termination.

     (2)    In the event that a Participant’s employment with the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents terminates for
any reason, any Options which have not become vested as of the date
of termination (the “Date of Termination”) shall, unless otherwise
provided in the applicable Option Agreement, terminate and be
cancelled without any consideration being paid therefor. In the
event that a Participant’s employment is terminated by the
Corporation, or a Subsidiary or Parent for Cause, all of such
Participant’s Options (including the vested portion) shall, unless
otherwise provided in
the applicable Option Agreement, terminate and be cancelled
without any consideration being paid therefor.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

      8.1.    Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any
unexercised Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor
of any party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary, or shall be
subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other
party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary. No unexercised or
restricted Option shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, pursuant to a domestic
relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such
Section applied to an Option under the Plan; provided, however, that the
Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee
concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated
taxation, and (ii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account
any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax
or securities laws applicable to transferable Options.

      8.2.    Beneficiaries. A Participant may, in the manner determined by the
Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant
and to receive any distribution with respect to any Option upon the
Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or
other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Option Agreement applicable to the Participant,
except to the extent the Plan and Option Agreement otherwise provide, and to
any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.
If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment
shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time
provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

      8.3.    Stock Certificates. All Stock issuable under the Plan are subject
to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules
and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee
may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the
transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.

      8.4.    Termination of Employment. Whether military, government or other
service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment
shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any
determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A termination of
employment shall not occur (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant
transfers from the Corporation to one of its Parents or Subsidiaries, transfers
from a Parent or Subsidiary to the Corporation, or transfers from one Parent or
Subsidiary to another Parent or Subsidiary, or (ii) in the discretion of the
Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a
spin-off, sale or other disposition of the Participant’s employer from the
Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary.

ARTICLE 9

Changes in Capital Structure

      9.1.    General. In the event of a corporate transaction involving the
Corporation (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the

6

 

authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall be adjusted
proportionately, and the Committee may adjust Options to preserve the benefits
or potential benefits of the Options. Action by the Committee may include: (i)
adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the
Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding
Options; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Options; and
(iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event a stock dividend or stock split is
declared upon the Stock, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4
shall be increased proportionately, and the shares of Stock then subject to
each Option shall be increased proportionately without any change in the
aggregate purchase price therefor.

ARTICLE 10

Amendment, Modification and Termination

      10.1.    Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board or the
Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate
the Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that the Board or
Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of
shareholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or deemed
advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or
regulations.

      10.2.    Options Previously Granted. At any time and from time to time, the
Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Option without
approval of the Participant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of
the applicable Option Agreement, such amendment, modification or termination
shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of
such Option and provided further that the original term of any Option may not
be extended. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall
adversely affect any Option previously granted under the Plan, without the
written consent of the Participant.

ARTICLE 11

General Provisions

      11.1.    No Rights to Options. No Participant or any Eligible Person shall
have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan, and neither the
Corporation nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible
Persons uniformly.

      11.2.    No Stockholder Rights. No Option gives the Participant any of the
rights of a shareholder of the Corporation unless and until shares of Stock are
in fact issued to such person in connection with the exercise of such Option.

      11.3.    Withholding. The Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary shall
have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a
Participant to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation)
required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a
result of the Plan. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event
under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Option is granted or
thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be
satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Option shares of Stock
having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum
amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes,
all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes.

7

 

      11.4.    No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or any Option
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation
or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee of
the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary.

      11.5.    Unfunded Status of Options. The Plan is intended to be an
“unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Option, nothing contained
in the Plan or any Option Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that
are greater than those of a general creditor of the Corporation or any Parent
or Subsidiary.

      11.6.    Indemnification. To the extent allowable under applicable law,
each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Corporation from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon
or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any
claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such member may be a party or in
which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the
Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in
satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him
provided he gives the Corporation an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle
and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own
behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Corporation may have to indemnify them or hold
them harmless.

      11.7.    Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be
taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement,
savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the
Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary unless provided otherwise in such other
plan.

      11.8.    Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by
the Corporation and its Parents or Subsidiaries.

      11.9.    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in
the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall
control.

      11.10.    Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the
context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the
plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

      11.11.    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued
and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be
given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be
eliminated by rounding up.

      11.12.    Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the
Corporation to make payment of Options in Stock or otherwise shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by
government agencies as may be required. The Corporation shall be under no
obligation to register under the 1933 Act, or any state securities act, any of
the shares of Stock issued in connection with the Plan. The shares issued in
connection with the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from
registration under the 1933 Act, and the Corporation may restrict the transfer
of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability
of any such exemption.

8

 

      11.13.    Governing Law. To the extent not governed by federal law, the
Plan and all Option Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

      11.14.    Additional Provisions. Each Option Agreement may contain such
other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such
other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Plan.

                                                                    Exhibit 10.1

                     ACCOUNT TRANSFER AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Account Transfer and Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is dated this
18th day of September, 2003, and is between KBK Financial, Inc., a Delaware
corporation authorized to do business in Texas ("KBK"), and AESP, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("Seller"). This Agreement shall become effective as of the
day it is accepted in the State of Texas by KBK as indicated at the end hereof
by the date and signature on behalf of KBK.

         WHEREAS, KBK is in the business of purchasing accounts receivable
         ("accounts"); and

         WHEREAS, Seller desires, from time to time during the term of this
         Agreement, to sell accounts to KBK; and

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to
         govern the purchase and sale of accounts;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual agreements
         herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
         receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
         agree as follows:

1.       OFFER OF ACCOUNTS. At its election from time to time during the term of
         this Agreement, Seller agrees to offer for sale to KBK certain of its
         accounts arising out of sales of goods, or services rendered, by
         Seller, and to sell to KBK on the terms set forth in this Agreement
         such of the offered accounts as KBK may accept for purchase in the
         State of Texas. KBK shall have the absolute right in its sole
         discretion to reject any or all offered accounts, whether or not KBK
         has previously purchased accounts of any particular account debtor
         hereunder. The parties agree that, without the prior consent of KBK,
         the maximum Gross Amount (as defined below) of accounts that KBK may
         purchase hereunder at any time, together with the Gross Amount of
         accounts previously purchased by KBK from Seller hereunder which then
         remain outstanding, will not exceed TWO MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars
         ($2,000,000.00) (the "Facility Amount"). KBK's consent to purchase
         accounts in excess of such amount may be evidenced by KBK's acceptance
         for purchase of such offered accounts.

2.       PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACCOUNTS. Each account purchased by KBK hereunder
         shall be purchased by KBK without recourse against Seller. All losses
         incurred by KBK from the financial inability of the applicable account
         debtor to pay such account over and above any and all Residual Payments
         (as hereinafter defined) and Reserve (as hereinafter defined) amounts
         offset shall be borne solely by KBK; provided, however, that nothing in
         this Agreement shall be construed to relieve Seller from liability for
         any breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or agreement of
         Seller contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision in this
         Agreement to the contrary, it is contemplated by and the intention of
         the parties hereto that accounts of Seller may be considered and
         purchased as one account (herein a "batch") and the terms "account" and
         "accounts" as used herein may also refer to and mean a "batch" or
         "batches," as the case may be, except with respect to the calculation
         of the KBK Discounts (as defined hereinbelow).

         In connection with each offer of accounts to KBK, Seller shall (i)
         forward electronically to KBK copies of its accounts receivable aging,
         sales journal and collection journal, and (ii) deliver to KBK a
         complete certificate in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto. Seller
         shall maintain at its offices a written assignment of all accounts
         offered to KBK, together with a copy of all invoices relating to such
         accounts, and evidence of delivery of the related goods or performance
         of the related services (and, if requested, the original purchase
         orders from the applicable customers), all in a form satisfactory to
         KBK, and to make available to KBK all such assignments, invoices and
         evidence in accordance with Section 12 hereof. In order for an account
         to be eligible for purchase by KBK, the related invoice must set forth,
         as the sole address for payment, the following post office box: P.O.
         Box 550741, Tampa, Florida 033655-0741 ("Authorized Remittance
         Address") (or, upon notice from KBK, another post office box of KBK)
         and, in the case of payments to be effected by wire transfer or other
         electronic means, the related invoice must set forth, as the sole bank
         account for such payment, a bank account of KBK (or a third party
         designated by KBK) designated by KBK from time to time (except in each
         case as otherwise agreed in writing by KBK). KBK's acceptance for
         purchase of offered accounts shall be evidenced by KBK's tendering of
         the Initial Payment (as hereinafter defined) to Seller or otherwise
         delivering to Seller a schedule of accounts accepted for purchase by
         KBK. Seller's transference of offered accounts shall not be effective
         as to any accounts not accepted for purchase by KBK.

         Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to KBK
         (as a sale by Seller and a purchase by KBK, and not as security for any
         indebtedness or other obligation of Seller to KBK) all right, title and
         interest of Seller in and to all accounts accepted by KBK for purchase
         hereunder, together with all related rights (but not obligations) of
         Seller with respect thereto, including all contract rights, guarantees,
         letters of credit, liens in favor of Seller, insurance and other
         agreements and arrangements of whatever character from time to time
         supporting or securing payment of such accounts and all right, title
         and interest of Seller in any related goods, including Seller's rights
         and remedies under Article 2, Part 7 of the applicable Uniform
         Commercial Code ("UCC"). The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and
         conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in an
         assumption by KBK of any obligation of Seller or any other person in
         connection with the accounts or related rights or under any agreement
         or instrument relating thereto. Seller agrees to execute and deliver
         such bills of sale, assignments, letters of credit, notices of
         assignment, financing statements (including continuation statements)
         under the applicable UCC and other documents, and make such entries and
         markings in its books and records, and to take all such other actions
         (including the negotiation, assignment or transfer of negotiable
         documents, letters of credit or other instruments) as KBK may request
         to further evidence or protect the sales and assignments of accounts
         and related rights to KBK hereunder, as well as KBK's interest in any
         returned goods referred to in Section 7 hereof.

3.       TERMS OF ACCOUNTS. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by
         KBK from time to time, the terms of sale offered by Seller to its
         account debtors with respect to all accounts offered to KBK for
         purchase hereunder shall be NET 60 DAYS. After an account has been
         purchased by KBK, Seller shall not have the right to vary the terms of
         sale set forth in the invoice relating to such account, or any other
         aspect of the account, except in Seller's capacity as agent for KBK for
         purposes of collection of accounts purchased by KBK as set forth in
         Section 8 hereof, and then only with the prior written consent of KBK.

4.       PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for each account purchased hereunder
         shall consist of and be paid by the Initial Payment and the Residual
         Payment. The Initial Payment shall be payable by KBK to Seller on the
         business day that KBK accepts for purchase the related account, and the
         Residual Payment shall be payable by KBK to Seller within five business
         days after KBK receives and deposits the proceeds of collection for the
         subject account in an amount equal to the Net Amount (as hereinafter
         defined) of such account (subject to KBK's right to withhold payment of
         Residual Payments hereunder, and subject to KBK's right to withhold,
         offset and charge, each as described below).

         "Initial Payment" means Eighty five percent (85.00%) of the Gross
         Amount of an account for the first advance only. The "Initial Payment"
         will be decreased to Eighty two and one half percent (82.50%) for all
         subsequent advances and will be reviewed quarterly. "Gross Amount" of
         an account means the gross face amount payable pursuant to the related
         invoice. "Net Amount" of an account means the Gross Amount of such
         account, less all permitted discounts, deductions and allowances.
         "Residual Payment" with respect to an account means the aggregate
         amount collected with respect to such account, less the sum of (i) the
         Initial Payment with respect to such account, (ii) the KBK Discounts
         (as hereinafter defined), (iii) any and all attorneys' fees and other
         costs of collection.

5.       FIXED AND VARIABLE DISCOUNTS. "Fixed Discount" means a discount of
         eight-tenths percent (.80%) of the Gross Amount of such account.
         "Variable Discount" means a discount computed on the Initial Payment
         and accruing on the basis of actual days elapsed from the date of
         Initial Payment until and including five business days after KBK
         receives and deposits the proceeds of collection of such account at a
         per annum rate equal to KBK's Base Rate (as hereinafter defined) in
         effect on the date of purchase of such account plus two percent (2.00%)
         per annum; provided, however, in no event shall the Variable Discount
         with respect to any account purchased hereunder be less than seven
         percent (7.0%) per annum. "Base Rate" means that per annum variable
         rate (expressed as a per annum percentage based on a year consisting of
         360 days) determined from time to time by KBK without notice to Seller
         as KBK's Base Rate for purposes of calculating variable discounts under
         KBK's account transfer agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
         the event the KBK Base Rate exceeds the Prime Rate published in THE
         WALL STREET JOURNAL by more than 25 basis points for more than 30
         consecutive days (the "Rate Termination Event"), Seller shall have the
         right for 30 days after such event to terminate this Agreement without
         payment of the Termination Fee; provided, however, Seller must notify
         KBK in writing of its intention to so terminate within 10 days after
         the occurrence of a Rate Termination Event. The Fixed Discount and the
         Variable Discount shall be collectively referred to herein as the "KBK
         Discounts". The KBK Discounts may be subject to one or more adjustments
         during the term of this Agreement if a Performance Based Pricing
         Addendum is attached hereto.

6.       RESERVE. In the event that KBK believes Seller has breached any
         material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained
         herein (including, without limitation, in the event an account
         purchased by KBK becomes a Disputed Account as hereinafter defined),
         any account is not paid in full within 90 days from the date of
         purchase of such account, or KBK deems itself insecure hereunder, KBK
         may at its election, withhold and accumulate the payment of the
         Residual Payments ("Reserve") with respect to any or all accounts
         purchased hereunder to the extent necessary to maintain a Reserve in an
         amount up to the sum of (a) the total Initial Payments made by KBK with
         respect to accounts purchased by KBK hereunder which remain
         uncollected, plus (b) the total of the KBK Discounts with respect to
         such accounts and (c) such other amounts which may become due by Seller
         to KBK hereunder or under any other agreement. Seller hereby authorizes
         KBK to offset and charge any and all amounts for which Seller or the
         Reserve may be obligated to pay to KBK pursuant to the terms of this
         Agreement against the Reserve, and at KBK's election, against any funds
         of Seller in the possession or control of KBK, from whatever source.
         However, if, on any business day that KBK regularly makes a payment to
         Seller for accounts purchased, none of the foregoing conditions exists
         and no other breach of this Agreement by Seller exists, then KBK shall
         distribute to Seller the Residual Payments then due and all funds it
         then has on hand that it has collected from accounts that KBK has not
         then purchased.

7.       CERTAIN SECURITY. For the purpose of securing KBK (a) in the payment of
         any and all sums of money that may become due and owing KBK from Seller
         by reason of this Agreement, (b) in the performance by Seller of
         Seller's obligations hereunder, and under any other agreement,
         contract, document, note or other instrument in favor of KBK or its
         assignees and (c) in the performance of all the obligations of all
         Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) under each Affiliate's agreements,
         contracts, documents, notes or other instruments in favor of KBK or its
         assigns, Seller hereby grants to KBK a security interest in (i) all of
         Seller's present and future accounts, account and contract rights,
         proceeds of inventory, contracts, drafts, acceptances, documents,
         instruments, chattel paper, deposit accounts, general intangibles and
         all products and proceeds therefrom, including all returned or
         repossessed goods, as well as all books and records pertaining to all
         of the foregoing, (ii) all amounts due as Residual Payments or withheld
         by KBK as the Reserve pursuant to Section 6 hereof and (iii) all money
         and other funds of Seller now or hereafter in the possession, custody
         or control of KBK, from whatever source (the "Collateral"). The term
         "Affiliate" shall mean with respect to any person or entity in

                                       2
<PAGE>

         question, any other person or entity owned or controlled by, or which
         owns or controls or is under common control or is otherwise affiliated
         with such person or entity in question. Seller agrees to execute and
         deliver such financing statements under the applicable UCC and other
         documents, and make such entries and markings in its books and records
         and to take all such other actions, as KBK may request to further
         evidence, perfect, preserve or protect the security interest granted to
         KBK hereunder. KBK shall have all rights and remedies in respect of the
         lien and security interest herein granted as are provided in this
         Agreement, the UCC and other applicable law, including the right at any
         time, before or after any default by Seller of any of its obligations
         hereunder, to notify account debtors and obligors on instruments to
         make payment to KBK (or its designee) and to take control of proceeds
         to which KBK is entitled, and to apply proceeds to (in addition to
         other obligations of Seller to KBK) the reasonable attorneys' fees and
         legal expenses incurred by KBK in connection with the disposition of
         collateral or the other exercise of rights and remedies by KBK.

         Seller hereby authorizes KBK to file in any jurisdiction KBK may deem
         appropriate, without the signature of Seller, one or more financing
         statements, and all amendments and continuations with respect thereto,
         relating to the Collateral and hereby ratifies, confirms and consents
         to any such filings made by KBK prior to the date hereof. Seller
         further agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
         this Agreement or any financing statement describing any Collateral is
         sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any
         jurisdiction KBK may deem appropriate.

         Seller herein acknowledges and warrants to KBK that it has received and
         will receive, direct and indirect benefits by and from granting this
         security interest to KBK to secure the obligations of any Affiliate to
         KBK.

         In the event a security interest has heretofore been granted and given
         to KBK by Seller in a prior agreement(s) or document(s) to secure
         certain obligations, then, in such event, and notwithstanding anything
         in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 23 hereof, the
         lien and security interest herein granted and given to KBK is in
         renewal and extension, and not in extinguishment of, all such prior
         liens and security interests and are valid and subsisting liens and
         security interests to secure all prior, existing and new obligations of
         Seller to KBK hereunder and under any such prior agreements, which
         obligations are likewise herein renewed and extended, in any manner,
         including any action required in connection with or by virtue of the
         United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").

8.       SERVICING. KBK hereby appoints Seller as servicing agent for KBK
         ("Servicer") for the purpose of expediting the payment of accounts
         purchased by KBK hereunder which become past due. Servicer agrees to
         maintain an active, on-going and regular dialogue with each Account
         Debtor. Servicer further agrees to utilize all powers, influences and
         rights and take every action within its control in accordance with its
         customary practices and applicable law to expedite the collection of
         the accounts purchased by KBK which become past due and direct such
         payments in specie exclusively to the Authorized Remittance Address.
         Seller will furnish to KBK, upon request, any and all papers, documents
         and records in its possession or control related to accounts purchased
         by KBK hereunder, or related to Seller's business relationship with the
         respective account debtors, and agrees to cooperate fully with KBK in
         all matters related to collection of accounts purchased by KBK
         hereunder. KBK reserves the right to terminate such servicing
         relationship at any time with or without cause and without notice to
         Servicer.

         Seller authorizes KBK to forward directly to account debtors statements
         or invoices on accounts purchased by KBK hereunder, and to request
         payment at such address or to such bank account as may be designated by
         KBK. Seller agrees that, if any payment is made to Seller on any
         account purchased by KBK from Seller hereunder, Seller (i) will hold
         such payment in trust for KBK, (ii) will not commingle such payment
         with any funds of Seller, and (iii) will deliver such payment to KBK,
         in the exact form received, by the close of business on the next
         business day following receipt thereof by Seller. With respect to all
         accounts purchased by KBK from Seller hereunder, Seller shall direct
         all account debtors for such accounts to remit all payments pertaining
         to such accounts directly to the Authorized Remittance Address. If any
         payment on such accounts is received by Seller (rather than sent to the
         Authorized Remittance Address), Seller shall give prompt notice thereof
         to KBK. Without limiting the other rights and remedies of KBK under
         this Agreement or otherwise, Seller's failure to strictly comply with
         this Section 8 shall constitute an immediate breach of and default
         under this Agreement, entitling KBK (in KBK's discretion) to
         immediately terminate this Agreement. If any goods relating to an
         account purchased by KBK hereunder shall be returned to or repossessed
         by Seller, Seller shall give prompt notice thereof to KBK and shall
         hold such goods in trust for KBK, separate and apart from Seller's own
         property, and such goods shall be owned solely by KBK and be subject to
         KBK's direction and control. Seller shall properly store and protect
         such goods and agrees to cooperate fully with KBK in any subsequent
         disposition thereof for the benefit of KBK.

         Seller authorizes KBK to collect, sue for and give releases for in the
         name of Seller or KBK in KBK's sole discretion, all amounts due on
         accounts sold to KBK hereunder. Seller specifically authorizes KBK to
         endorse, in the name of Seller, all checks, drafts, trade acceptances
         or other forms of payment tendered by account debtors in payment of
         accounts sold to KBK hereunder and made payable to Seller. KBK shall
         have no liability to Seller for any mistake in the application of any
         payment received with respect to any account, IT BEING THE SPECIFIC
         INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT KBK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER
         FOR ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE except for its own gross negligence or willful
         misconduct. Seller hereby waives notice of nonpayment of any account
         sold to KBK hereunder as well as any and all other notices with respect
         to such accounts, demands or presentations for payment, and agrees that
         KBK may extend or renew from time to time the payment of, or vary or
         reduce the amount payable under or compromise any of the terms of, any
         account purchased by KBK, in each case without notice to or the consent
         of Seller. Seller further authorizes KBK (or its designee) to open and
         remove the contents of any post office box of Seller or KBK (or its
         designee) which KBK believes contains mail relating to accounts, and in
         connection therewith or otherwise, to receive, open and dispose of mail
         addressed to Seller which KBK believes may relate to accounts, and in

                                       3
<PAGE>

         order to further assure receipt by KBK (or its designee) of mail
         relating to such accounts, to notify other parties including customers
         and postal authorities to change the address for delivery of such mail
         addressed to Seller to such address as KBK may designate. KBK agrees to
         use reasonable measures to preserve the contents of any such mail which
         does not relate to accounts purchased hereunder and to deliver same to
         Seller (or, at the election of KBK, to notify Seller of the address
         where Seller may take possession of such contents; provided, if Seller
         does not take possession of such contents within 30 days after notice
         from KBK to take possession thereof, KBK may dispose of such contents
         without any liability to Seller). Seller hereby irrevocably appoints
         KBK (and any employee, agent or other person designated by KBK, any of
         whom may act without joinder of the others) as Seller's
         attorneys-in-fact and agents, in Seller's name, place and stead, to
         take all actions, execute and deliver all notices, negotiate such
         instruments and other documents, as may be necessary or advisable to
         permit KBK (or its designee) to take any and all of the actions
         described in this paragraph or to carry out the purpose and intent
         thereof, as fully and for all intents and purposes as Seller could
         itself do, and hereby ratifies and confirms all that said
         attorneys-in-fact and agents may do or cause to be done by virtue
         hereof. This power of attorney is irrevocable and deemed coupled with
         an interest.

9.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. Seller hereby represents and
         warrants to KBK with respect to each account offered by Seller to KBK
         hereunder that (i) Seller is the sole owner of such account, which

         19 herein. Seller does business under no trade or assumed names except
         as may be listed on Schedule A attached hereto.

         Each representation and warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement
         shall be deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof and at and as
         of the date of each sale of accounts to KBK hereunder.

         Seller agrees to indemnify and hold all Indemnified Persons (as
         hereinafter defined) harmless against any breach by Seller of any
         representation, warranty or agreement of Seller contained in this
         Agreement, and against any claims or damages arising out of the
         manufacture, sale, possession or use of, or otherwise relating to,
         goods, or the performance of services, associated with or relating to
         accounts or related rights purchased (or with respect to which a
         security interest is granted) hereunder. The term "Indemnified Persons"
         shall mean KBK and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
         attorneys, representatives, agents, Affiliates, successors and assigns.

         Seller agrees to notify KBK immediately of any breach by Seller of any
         representation, warranty or agreement of Seller contained herein or
         should any representation, warranty or agreement made herein become
         untrue or false at any time. Seller further agrees to notify KBK
         immediately of the assertion by any account debtor of any dispute or
         other claim (including any defense or offset asserted by any account

                                       4

         debtor) with respect to any account sold to KBK hereunder, or with
         respect to any related goods or services ("Disputed Accounts"). Upon
         KBK's request, Seller agrees to settle, at its own expense and for the
         benefit of KBK, all such Disputed Accounts; provided, that any such
         settlement shall be made only with the prior written consent of KBK.
         Unless KBK is advised in writing by Seller to the contrary, any account
         that has not been approved by the account debtor within sixty (60) days
         from the date of the invoice upon which the account is based, shall be
         deemed to be a Disputed Account. As to any Disputed Account, KBK shall
         have the right, in its sole discretion, (i) to settle at the expense of
         Seller (including all attorneys' fees and expenses of KBK) and for the
         benefit of KBK any such dispute or claim upon such terms as KBK may in
         its sole discretion deem advisable or (ii) to assign the related
         account to Seller, without recourse to KBK , and charge any unpaid
         balance with respect thereto (up to the amount of the Initial Payment
         with respect thereto and KBK's Discounts through the date of such
         charge with respect thereto) against the Reserve or deduct such unpaid
         balance from any Initial Payments or against any money or other funds
         of Seller in the possession, custody or control of KBK, from whatever
         source. Seller agrees that, in lieu of KBK charging any such unpaid
         balance against the Reserve, Initial Payments or against such other
         funds, KBK may require Seller to pay (and Seller hereby agrees to pay)
         to KBK on demand any such unpaid balance. An account with respect to
         which the account debtor has asserted an Insolvency Claim is not a
         Disputed Account. As used herein, "Insolvency Claim" means any defense
         or other claim by an account debtor with respect to an account sold to
         KBK hereunder arising solely out of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
         account debtor or the financial inability of the account debtor to pay,
         if Seller has not breached its representation contained in clause (vi)
         of the first paragraph of this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein
         to the contrary, KBK shall have the right to charge all accounts not
         paid because of an Insolvency Claim against the Reserve and such charge
         shall have priority over and be paid before any Disputed Account
         charge. Seller agrees to maintain the additional covenants set forth in
         the Addendum attached hereto.

10.      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Seller represents and warrants that all financial
         and other information provided by Seller to KBK in connection with or
         in Seller's application to KBK or to induce KBK to enter into this
         Agreement is true, complete and correct in all material respects.
         Seller agrees to furnish to KBK (i) within 60 days after the last day
         of each fiscal year of Seller, a statement of income and a statement of
         cash flows of Seller for such fiscal year, and a balance sheet of
         Seller as of the last day of such fiscal year, in each case company
         prepared, and (ii) within 105 days after the last day of each fiscal
         year of AESP, Inc., a consolidated statement of income and a
         consolidated statement of cash flows of AESP, Inc. for such fiscal
         year, and a consolidated balance sheet of AESP, Inc. as of the last day
         of such fiscal year, in each case audited by an independent certified
         public accounting firm acceptable to KBK, together with a copy of any
         report to management delivered to AESP, Inc. by such accountants in
         connection therewith within 10 days of receipt by Seller, and (iii)
         within 30 days after the last day of each fiscal month of Seller, an
         unaudited statement of income and statement of cash flows of Seller for
         such fiscal month, and an unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of the
         last day of such fiscal month. Seller represents and warrants that each
         such statement of income and statement of cash flows will fairly
         present, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash
         flows of Seller for the period set forth therein, and that each such
         balance sheet will fairly present, in all material respects, the
         financial condition of Seller as of the date set forth therein, all in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
         consistent basis, except as otherwise noted in the accompanying
         auditors' report (or, with respect to unaudited financial statements,
         in the notes thereto). Seller also agrees to furnish to KBK, upon
         request, such additional financial and business information concerning
         Seller and its business as KBK may reasonably request, including copies
         of its Form 941 returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
         evidence of payment of related taxes. KBK and its agents,
         representatives and accountants shall have the right, at all times
         during normal business hours and without prior notice to Seller, to
         conduct an audit or other examination of the financial and business
         records of Seller and to examine and make copies of all books and
         records of Seller for the purpose of assuring or verifying compliance
         by Seller with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller agrees to
         cooperate fully with KBK and its agents, representatives and
         accountants in connection therewith and to timely pay all costs
         associated with such audits at a rate equal to $750.00 per day, per
         person, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Seller agrees to properly reflect
         the effect of this Agreement, and all sales related thereto, in all
         financial reports and disclosures, written or otherwise, provided to
         Seller's creditors and other interested parties. Seller specifically
         agrees that all accounts purchased by KBK will be excluded from
         Seller's reported accounts receivable balances. Seller also
         specifically agrees to immediately notify KBK of any material adverse
         change in Seller's financial condition or business. Seller agrees to
         provide an Accounts Payable aging on a monthly basis within 5 days of
         month end.

11.      TAXES. All taxes and governmental charges of any kind imposed with
         respect to the sale of goods or the rendering of services relating to
         accounts purchased by KBK hereunder shall be for the account of, and
         paid by, Seller.

12.      FEES. Seller hereby agrees to pay to KBK on the execution hereof a
         one-time commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") of ten thousand and
         No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00). Seller and KBK acknowledge and agree that
         the Commitment Fee is intended as reasonable compensation to KBK for
         making this facility available under the terms of this Agreement and
         for no other purpose.

         Seller hereby agrees to pay to KBK a termination fee equal to two
         percent (2.00%) of the Facility Amount (the "Termination Fee") and the
         payment shall be an obligation of Seller secured under Section 7
         hereof. This Termination Fee is payable upon termination of this
         Agreement by Seller for any reason or upon termination by KBK at its
         election for the reasons set forth in the second sentence of Section 13
         below. However, if this Agreement is so terminated after the expiration
         of one (1) year from the date of KBK's execution hereof, but before the
         expiration of two (2) years from such date, one-half of the Termination
         Fee shall be waived. If the Agreement is terminated more than two (2)
         years after the date of KBK's execution hereof, all of the Termination
         Fee shall be waived.

         If Seller provides information electronically to KBK (e.g., by email,
         via the internet, the world wide web, etc.) with respect to the
         accounts that Seller sells to KBK and such information does not conform

                                       5
<PAGE>

         to the data download parameters that KBK has provided to Seller (which
         parameters may changed from time to time in KBK's discretion; provided
         that KBK shall notify Seller of any changes in such parameters before
         KBK shall be entitled to charge the Additional Processing Fee described
         below), Seller agrees to pay to KBK a processing and handling fee
         ("Additional Processing Fee") equal to fifty cents ($0.50) per invoice
         and/or cash receipt entry that does not so comply with such parameters.
         In no event shall the additional processing fee be less than one
         hundred and fifty Dollars ($150.00) per data file.

13.      TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto by
         delivery of written notice of termination of this Agreement to the
         other party specifying the date of termination, which date shall be at
         least 30 days after the date such notice is given. KBK may, at its
         election, terminate this Agreement immediately and without the
         requirement of notice to Seller if (i) Seller shall fail to perform any
         of its obligations hereunder or shall breach any of its representations
         and warranties hereunder, (ii) Seller or any of its Affiliates shall
         become insolvent or suspend all or a substantial part of its or their
         business, (iii) a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
         insolvency or debtor statute shall be filed by or against Seller or any
         Affiliate or any receivership proceedings with respect thereto shall
         commence, (iv) any guarantee of any of Seller's obligations hereunder
         shall be terminated or become impaired, (v) an event of default occurs
         under any other agreement now or hereafter executed between Seller and
         KBK, or (vi) KBK in good faith otherwise determines that it is insecure
         hereunder.

         Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the rights and
         obligations of the parties hereunder with respect to transactions
         occurring on or prior to the date of such termination, and this
         Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of the
         parties hereto with respect to accounts purchased by KBK from Seller on
         or prior to the date of such termination. All security interests
         granted or contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the termination
         of this Agreement until all amounts payable to KBK with respect to
         transactions occurring on or prior to the date of termination have been
         paid to KBK, and Seller has performed all its obligations to KBK with
         respect to such transactions and all obligations under this Agreement
         including but not limited to payment of any fees owing hereunder.

14.      Intentionally omitted.

15.      ATTORNEY'S FEES, LITIGATION EXPENSE. Seller agrees to reimburse KBK
         upon demand for KBK's attorneys' fees, court costs and other fees and
         expenses incurred in collecting any sums due or to become due to KBK
         hereunder, enforcing any of KBK's rights under this Agreement and all
         actions taken by KBK that it deems necessary or desirable under the
         Bankruptcy Code or should any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code be
         applicable to any rights or obligations of any party to this Agreement,
         as well as all appearances, motions and actions to which KBK may be or
         become a party in any bankruptcy case.

16.      GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
         BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
         OF TEXAS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS
         THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION
         OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED HEREUNDER, IN
         RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A
         JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS AGREEMENT IS
         PERFORMABLE BY THE PARTIES IN TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS. SELLER AND KBK
         EACH AGREE THAT TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR
         LITIGATION OF ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS
         AGREEMENT, AND THAT SUCH COUNTY IS A CONVENIENT FORUM IN WHICH TO
         DECIDE ANY SUCH DISPUTE OR CLAIM. SELLER AND KBK EACH CONSENT TO THE
         PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
         TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS FOR THE LITIGATION OF ANY SUCH DISPUTE OR CLAIM.
         SELLER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
         OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE
         OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY
         SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
         INCONVENIENT FORUM.

17.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SELLER AND KBK EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
         THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
         BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AT ANY TIME
         ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
         TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ASSOCIATED HEREWITH.

18.      AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may be amended only in writing
         signed by the parties hereto. No failure on the part of KBK to
         exercise, and no delay by KBK in exercising, and no course of dealing
         by KBK with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this
         Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
         partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder by KBK
         preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
         other right, power or privilege. The remedies of KBK hereunder are
         cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

19.      NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall

         liability, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, claim, deficiency and
         expense (including interest, penalties, attorneys' fees and amounts

         documents, including, but not limited to the Bylaws and Articles of
         Incorporation or Certificate of Incorporation, as the case may be, if
         Seller is a corporation, or Seller's partnership agreement, if Seller
         is a partnership, (b) duly authorized by appropriate action of Seller,
         and (c) legally valid and binding obligations of Seller and will

22.      CAPTIONS; FINAL AGREEMENT; COUNTERPARTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
         Captions and headings appearing herein are included solely for
         convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the
         interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement
         represents the final agreement between the parties hereto with respect
         to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior proposals,
         negotiations, agreements and understandings, oral or written, related
         to such subject matter. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
         same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement
         by telecopy shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually
         executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an
         executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopy also shall deliver a
         manually executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to
         deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity,
         enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement
         may not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of KBK.
         This Agreement may be assigned by KBK, and any accounts purchased by
         KBK hereunder, together with all rights and interests related thereto
         granted to KBK hereunder, may be assigned by KBK, all without notice to
         or the consent of Seller. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
         parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

23.      EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall become effective only
         upon acceptance by KBK at its offices in Fort Worth, Tarrant County,
         Texas as evidenced by KBK's signature hereon.

24.      TRUE SALES. Seller and KBK acknowledge and agree that the sale of
         accounts contemplated and covered hereby are fully intended by the
         parties hereto as true sales governed by the provisions of Section
         306.103 of the Texas Finance Code and Section 9.109(e) of the Texas
         Business and Commerce Code, as each may be amended from time to time,
         and, accordingly, legal and equitable title in all of Seller's accounts
         sold to and purchased by KBK from time to time hereunder will pass to
         KBK.

25.      EXPENSES. KBK shall be entitled to reimbursement upon demand for all
         reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by KBK in the course of
         performing its functions with respect to this Agreement, including
         without limitation, the following: lock box charges, long-distance
         telephone charges, postage, credit reports, wire transfers, check
         copying charges, overnight mail delivery, UCC and tax lien searches and
         filing fees. Seller hereby authorizes KBK, in KBK's sole discretion, to
         collect such expenses (i) by reducing the Initial Payment; (ii) by
         deducting such amounts from the Residual Payments (Reserve); or (iii)
         by using any combination of the foregoing. This authorization shall not
         affect Seller's obligation to pay such sums to KBK on demand

                                    ADDENDUM

to Account Transfer and Purchase Agreement between KBK FINANCIAL, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("KBK") and AESP, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Seller")
dated September 18, 2003 (the "Agreement").

This Addendum modifies and supplements the Agreement as follows:

1.       FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Seller agrees to maintain the following financial
         covenants while this Agreement remains in effect:

         (a)      CURRENT RATIO. At the end of each fiscal month, a ratio,
                  calculated on a pro forma basis (i.e., add back in purchased
                  accounts and factored balance), of (i) current assets
                  (excluding prepaid expenses), to (ii) current liabilities of
                  not less than less than .75 to 1.0.

         (b)      TANGIBLE NET WORTH. At the end of each fiscal month, its
                  Tangible Net Worth at not less than Two Million Seven Hundred
                  Thousand and NO/100 dollars ($2,700,000.00).

         (c)      DILUTION. Seller covenants and agrees that at the end of each
                  fiscal month during the effectiveness of this Agreement, the
                  Seller's Dilution shall not exceed six percent (6%). As used
                  herein, the term "DILUTION" means for any period of time the
                  percentage obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount of
                  credit memos, discounts and other downward adjustments to the
                  original invoiced price of inventory sold or services rendered
                  by Seller during such period, by (b) gross sales for such
                  period, all as determined by KBK.

         As used herein, the term "Tangible Net Worth" shall mean, as of any
         date, the amount by which Seller's total assets exceeds its total
         liabilities, plus Subordinated Debt, less any intangible assets (as
         defined by generally accepted accounting principles, including, without
         limitation, trademarks, patents, copyrights, goodwill, covenants not to
         compete and customer lists), less deferred charges. The term
         "Subordinated Debt" shall mean indebtedness owing by Seller to a
         creditor other than KBK which has been subordinated and subject in
         right of payment to the prior payment of all indebtedness and
         obligations now or hereafter owing by Seller to KBK, such subordination
         to be evidenced by a written agreement between Seller and the
         subordinated creditor which is in form and substance satisfactory to
         KBK.

                                  AESP, INC.
