                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     The following provisions are hereby incorporated into, and are hereby made
a part of, that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") by
and between Blaze Software, Inc. (the "Corporation") and _____________________
("Optionee") evidencing the Optionee's purchase of shares of the Corporation's
common stock (the "Purchased Shares") pursuant to that certain option granted on
__________________ to Optionee under the Corporation's 1996 Stock Option Plan,
and such provisions shall be effective as of the Effective Date specified below.
All capitalized terms in this Addendum, to the extent not otherwise defined

                       INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOLLOWING
                             CORPORATE TRANSACTION

     1.  To the extent the Repurchase Right is assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with a Corporate Transaction, no
accelerated vesting of the Purchased Shares shall occur upon such Corporate
Transaction, and the Repurchase Right shall continue to remain in full force and
effect in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly,
the Optionee shall, over Optionee's period of Service following the Corporate
Transaction, continue to vest in the Purchased Shares in one or more
installments pursuant to the provisions of the Vesting Schedule in effect under
the Purchase Agreement. However, immediately upon an Involuntary Termination of
Optionee's Service within twelve (12) months after the effective date of the
Corporate Transaction, the Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate in its
entirety and all the Purchased Shares shall vest in full.

     2.  For purposes of this Addendum, the following definitions shall be in
effect:

     An Involuntary Termination shall mean the termination of Optionee's Service
by reason of:

         (i)  Optionee's involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Corporation
     for reasons other than Misconduct, or

         (ii) Optionee's voluntary resignation following (A) a change in
     Optionee's position with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing
     Optionee) which materially reduces Optionee's level of responsibility, (B)
     a reduction in Optionee's level of compensation (including base salary,
     fringe benefits and participation in any corporate-performance based bonus
     or incentive programs) by more than fifteen percent (15%) or (C) a
     relocation of Optionee's place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles,
     provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected by
     the Corporation without Optionee's consent.

     Misconduct shall mean the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or
dishonesty by Optionee, any unauthorized use or disclosure by Optionee of
confidential information or trade secrets of the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary), or any other intentional misconduct by Optionee adversely affecting
the business or affairs of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) in a
material manner.  The foregoing definition shall not be deemed to be inclusive
of all the acts or omissions which the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary)
may consider as grounds for the dismissal or discharge of Optionee or other
person in the Service of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Blaze Software, Inc. has caused this Addendum to be
executed by its duly-authorized officer, and Optionee has executed this

                           NATIONAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

                                     GENERAL

     This  Agreement for various services is made by and between Mail Boxes Etc.
USA,  Inc.  ("MBE"),  a  California  Corporation,  having its principal place of
business  at  6060 Cornerstone Court West, San Diego, California 92121-3795; and
Pinnacle  Business  Management,  Inc.,  a  Florida corporation and Fast PayCheck
Advance,  Inc.,  a  Florida Corporation (collectively National Account Client or
"NAC")  located  at  the  address  designated in this Agreement and is made with
reference  to  the  following:

1.   SERVICES  AND  TERM

     MBE  is  a  franchisor  of  retail  outlets ("MBE Centers") which provide a
variety  of  postal,  business  and communication services to businesses and the
general  public.  Through  this  Agreement,  NAC  or NAC's designees will access
participating MBE Centers for various services ("Services") in certain states in
the  United  States in which NAC is doing business, under the terms set forth in
Exhibit  A.  The  term  of this Agreement will begin on the date of execution by
MBE  below and will remain in force for thirty-six (36) months unless terminated
as  set  forth  herein,  or  as  otherwise  provided  for  in  Exhibit  A.

     MBE  and  NAC agree to begin negotiating a renewal of the initial agreement
within six (6) months of the end of the thirty-six (36) month term.  The renewal
will  be  on  terms  and  conditions mutually acceptable to the parties.  If the
parties  agree  to  renew  the  agreement, the renewal fee shall be ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) for the first eighteen (18) month renewal period.  If MBE does
not  renew  the  NAC  Agreement  after  thirty-six (36) months, MBE shall not be
entitled  to  any  further  compensation  not  earned  before  expiration of the
Agreement  under  the  assignment  of  compensation  from  Gordon and Associates
Strategic  Investments, Inc. to MBE attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Assignment").
If  this Agreement is renewed, NAC shall continue to pay to MBE the compensation
set  forth  in  the  Assignment.

     NAC  shall  not  accept transactions on the Internet or telephonically from
customers  who  previously  applied  for  NAC's  services  through an MBE Center
("Existing  Customers") without compensating MBE and MBE Franchises the flat fee
as set forth in Exhibit A.  If NAC does accept new loans from Existing Customers
from  the  Internet or telephonically, NAC shall notify MBE of such transactions
and  pay  MBE Center where the Existing Customer most recently applied for NAC's
services  so  that  MBE  can  credit  such  franchisee  its  share  of  the fee.

2.   EXCLUSIVITY
     -----------

     NAC  shall  pay  to  MBE  a  non-refundable amount equal to twenty thousand
dollars  ($20,000) as consideration for the exclusivity rights set forth in this
section.  Such  payment shall be due and payable upon execution of the Agreement
and  shall  be  deemed  fully  earned  when paid.  For a period of eighteen (18)

<PAGE>
months  after  NAC is approved by MBE for a particular state (not to extend past
the  thirty-six  month  term  of  this  Agreement),  MBE will not enter into any
National  Account  Agreement  with  any  other  payroll advance business for any
purpose similar to this Agreement for such state.  Notwithstanding the above, if
any  state in which NAC is doing business has less than ten (10) MBE Centers who
have  participated in this NAC program, which are doing has less than a total of
two  hundred  fifty  (250) transactions per month, after six (6) months from the
date  that  NAC  begins  operations in such state, the exclusivity provision for
that  state  shall  be  void  and  of  no  further  effect  at  such time.  This
Exclusivity  provision  shall  not  survive  expiration  or  termination of this
Agreement.  This  Exclusivity  provision does not impose an obligation on MBE to
approve this NAC program for any particular state.  This exclusivity shall in no
way  limit  or  preclude MBE from entering into similar payroll advance programs
with  any  other  entity  in  those states where NAC either does not have retail
operations  open  and doing business, or is not diligently pursuing governmental
approval  for  its  payroll advance services (and NAC has advised MBE in writing
that  it  is  pursuing  governmental  approval  in  such  state).

     After  the  initial eighteen (18) month exclusivity period, if MBE signs an
agreement  with  any  other  pay day advance company and such agreement provides
that MBE Centers shall offer substantially similar services as those provided to
NAC  hereunder, MBE franchisee territory, which is identified in MBE's franchise
agreement  with  participating  MBE  Centers.

     Neither  NAC nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may, during the term
of  this  agreement, offer any payroll advance business or allow any third party
to  complete  a  pay  day advance transaction with any other company or business
within  any  MBE  franchisee  territory,  which is identified in MBE's franchise
agreement  with  participating  MBE  Centers.

3.   FEES  AND  BILLING

     NAC  agrees  to pay MBE the fees set  forth in the  attached  Exhibit A for
     Services  rendered  by MBE and MBE  Centers.  MBE  reserves  the  right  to
     reasonably increase prices (based upon an increase in providing products or
     services) upon thirty (30) days written notice.  On or before the twentieth
     (20th)  business  day of each month,  MBE agrees to prepare and transmit to
     NAC a completed NAC billing  summary for the previous  month's  activities.
     MBE reserves the right to change to a bi-monthly billing cycle upon 30 days
     written  notice to NAC.  Terms of payment  are net 15 days from the billing
     date.

     NAC shall  provide  MBE a monthly  accounting  of  transactions  completed,
     amounts owed to MBE and MBE Centers by NAC.

4.   LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY

<PAGE>
     Neither  MBE  nor  MBE  Center  will  be  liable  for  any   consequential,
     incidental,  or  punitive  damages,  or any loss or damage  resulting  from
     delays in shipping or delivery, which are beyond the control or without the
     fault of MBE or MBE Center.

     NAC  agrees  to assume all liability for any loss or damage from any reason
or source whatsoever to equipment or other items supplied to the MBE Centers for
use  in  this  program and agrees to maintain adequate property damage and other
insurance  to  adequately  protect  the  interest  of  NAC,  NAC  Customers, NAC
Employees,  MBE,  and  its  franchisees.

5.   NAC  TOLL  FREE  NUMBER  OBLIGATION

     NAC agrees to provide a toll free telephone number for MBE Center personnel
and  NAC  customers  and/or  employees  to  answer  questions about the services
offered  by  NAC  along  with  an  adequate  number of telephones and operators.

6.   NAC  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES

A.   NAC  shall  comply  with  all  laws,  regulations,   rules  and  any  other
     governmental  requirements regarding the sale, distribution and advertising
     of its products and services and the performance of this Agreement.

B.   NAC will provide to MBE a separate statement  ("Statement") for every state
     in which this  Agreement  applies.  Such  Statement will state that NAC has
     reviewed  any  and  all  applicable  state,  federal,  or  local  laws  and
     regulations  regarding the services  provided  pursuant to this  Agreement.
     Based  upon  that  review,  NAC  will  notify  MBE of any  requirements  of
     participating  MBE Centers,  such as licensing or "posting" of signs on the
     premises  for  such  MBE  Centers  to  participate  in  this  program.  NAC
     represents and warrants that the Statement will set forth any and all legal
     requirements of participating MBE Centers relating to providing any service
     pursuant to this Agreement. NAC agrees to pay for all applicable government
     imposed fees,  including licensing fees, for each participating MBE Center.
     NAC's  obligations  under this provision  will be ongoing,  and NAC will be
     obligated to revise the  Statements  upon any change in applicable  laws or
     regulations.  Payroll advances with any customer pursuant to this Agreement
     shall not exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per transaction.

7.   STATEMENT  OF  LEGAL  OPINION

     Prior  to  being  approved  by MBE for  MBE  Centers  participation  in any
     particular  state,  NAC shall  provide to MBE a legal  opinion at NAC' sole
     expense by Ed Kagan,  Esq. or a mutually agreed upon licensed  attorney who
     is not an employee of NAC which states that the  attorney  has  researched,
     analyzed and reviewed the Statement  referenced in the prior  section,  and
     that in the attorney's  professional  opinion the Statement is accurate and
     complete, and that MBE and
     any  participating MBE Centers can rely on such opinion in participating in
     this program.

<PAGE>
8.   MARKETING  MATERIALS

     NAC agrees to design and deliver at NAC's expense, in sufficient quantities
to  supply to the MBE Network for any applicable state, promotional and training
brochures  and  other  marketing  materials  customized  to  the  MBE Network as
reasonably requested by MBE.  Additionally, NAC agrees to produce and distribute
to  participating  MBE  franchisees  at  its sole expense a training video.  All
marketing  materials must be approved in writing by MBE prior to distribution to
the  MBE  Network.  All  such marketing materials or other materials produced by
NAC  for  the  MBE  Network  or  their customers must state prominently that the
services  are  being  supplied  by  NAC.  NAC  further  agrees  that  it will be
responsible  for  any  and all customer service or customer satisfaction issues.

     NAC  shall  not  use  MBE's  name,  logo or other trademarks for any of its
marketing  materials without the express written approval of MBE, which approval
shall  be  as  the  sole  discretion  of MBE.  NAC may, with MBE express written
approval  and  subject  to MBE's standard Hyperlink Agreement, use an MBE Center
locator  on  its  Web site that shows the location of participating MBE Centers.
Under no circumstances shall NAC indicate or imply the MBE or any MBE franchisee
or  affiliate  is  part of or affiliated with NAC or approves or recommends NAC.

9.   INSURANCE

     During  the  term  of  this  Agreement,  NAC  shall maintain, at NAC's sole
expense,  the  types  and  amounts of insurance as may be required to adequately
protect the interests of MBE and its franchisees, issued by a company acceptable
to  MBE.

Such  business  owner's  insurance  policy  shall  include,  at  a  minimum, the
following:

a.   Comprehensive general liability (including products liability) and all risk
     coverage  insurance,  with limits per occurrence of $4,000,000 as to bodily
     injury and general liability, and $500,000 as to property damage; and
b.   Crime  coverage,  including  employee  dishonesty  (which coverage will not
     include crime or employee  dishonesty  involving employees of MBE Centers),
     with limits per occurrence of $25,000.

     The  policy  shall  contain an additional insured endorsement such that MBE
and  participating  MBE  franchisees  are  named  as additional insureds and are
provided  the same coverage as the named insured, including the cost of defense,
against  any  claim  arising  out  of or related to this NAC program.  The named
insured's  coverage  is  primary  and  shall  not  require contribution from the
additional  insured's  insurance  coverage,  unless the claim is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the sole or gross negligence
or the willful misconduct of an additional insured.  The parties understand that
the  specified coverage or limits of insurance in no way limits the liability of
NAC.

<PAGE>
     Within  fifteen  (15) days of executing this Agreement, NAC shall submit to
MBE  a  certificate  of  such  insurance, describing and confirming the required
coverage set forth above, each of which shall contain a statement by the insurer
that  the  policy  shall  not be canceled or materially altered without at least
thirty  (30)  days prior written notice to MBE.  If NAC fails to comply with the
insurance  requirements  herein,  MBE  may, but is not obligated to, obtain such
insurance  and  keep  the  same  in  force and effect, and NAC shall pay MBE, on
demand,  the  cost  thereof.  MBE  reserves the right to review and revise these
insurance  requirements  on  an  annual  basis,  or  when circumstances warrant.

10.  WAIVER  OF  SUBROGATION

     NAC  shall  waive any and every claim (whether in contract or in tort) that
arises  or  may arise in its favor for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of
its property, including the loss of payroll disbursements, if the loss or damage
is  covered under NAC's valid insurance policies.  NAC's waiver shall be limited
to  the  extent that the loss or damage is covered under its insurance policies.
NAC's  waiver  shall  be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of,
any  other  right of MBE contained in this Agreement with respect to any loss or
damage  to  property  of  NAC.

     NAC  hereby  agrees  to  immediately provide written notice of the terms of
this  waiver  of  subrogation to its insurance company from whom it is procuring
applicable  insurance  policies.  Also, NAC hereby agrees to immediately provide
written  notice to its insurance company, instructing the company, if necessary,
to  properly  endorse  the  applicable  insurance  policies so as to prevent the
invalidation  of its policies due to the waiver of subrogation agreed to in this
Section.

11.  INDEMNIFICATION

     NAC  hereby  agrees  to  indemnify  and  hold harmless MBE, its affiliates,
subsidiaries,  franchisees,  officers,  directors,  agents  and  employees
("Indemnities")  from  and against any and all acts or omissions in carrying out
obligations  under  the  NAC business activities, including acts or omissions in
carrying  out  obligations  under  the  NAC  program or any breach by NAC of any
terms,  covenants,  conditions, warranties or representations in this Agreement.
This  indemnification  shall  include but shall not be limited to, any claims by
customers,  governmental  agencies  or  others relating to or arising out of the
services  provided  by NAC or the MBE  Centers in furtherance of this Agreement.

     MBE  has entered into contracts with those MBE Centers participating in the
NAC  program  whereby  MBE Centers agree to indemnify and hold NAC harmless from
and  against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments or costs arising
out  of  the  MBE  Centers' negligence in carrying out obligations under the NAC

<PAGE>
program.  Notwithstanding  the  above,  MBE  Centers  shall  have  no  liability
whatsoever  for  verifying the identification of customers, nor will MBE Centers
have  any  liability  for negligently hanging over sums to the customer (whether
through  an  ATM  card  or  other  form).

     Each  MBE  franchise  is an independently owned and operated franchise and,
while  MBE imposes certain operating requirements on its franchisees through its
franchise  agreements  and  operating  manuals,  MBE cannot directly control the
day-to-day  operations  of  its  independent  franchisees.  NAC acknowledges and
agrees  that  MBE  is not responsible or liable for any acts or omissions of its
franchisees.

12.  TAXES

     NAC  agrees  that  it  will  be  responsible for any and all taxes based on
packaging,  shipping, storage of items and any other goods and services provided
for  in  this  Agreement  including,  but not limited to, sales, use, excise, or
similar  tax  whether  by  federal,  state, county, municipal, local, or similar
authority.

13.  RIGHT  TO  AUDIT

     NAC  has  the  right,  upon  thirty  (30) days advance written notice MBE's
National  Accounts  Department  and  any  participating  MBE  Center, to have an
examination  and  audit  made  of  the  MBE Center's financial books and records
relating  to this NAC program.  MBE has the right, upon thirty (30) days written
advance  notice  to  NAC,  to  have  an  examination and audit made of the NAC's
financial  books  and  records  relating  to  this  NAC  program.
