     (c)  Seller  shall  clarify  any  circumstance  in  regard  to the  Closing
          Customer  Recurring  Revenue  Loss  alleged  by  Purchaser;  provided,

          Purchaser  authorized it the access to, or delivered  the, as the case
          may be, corresponding information;  provided,  however, that such term
          shall be extended if requested in writing by the Independent Auditor.

     (f)  The conclusions of the Independent  auditor shall be final and binding
          to the parties hereto. Any dispute in regard to the conclusions of the
          Independent  Auditor  shall  be  resolved  according  to  the  dispute
          resolution mechanism provided in Section 5.2 below.

                         CUSTOMER RECURRING REVENUE LOSS

7.1 Limitation.

     (a)  Any amount resulting from Losses,  Closing Customer  Recurring Revenue
          Loss or any other dispute  related to any of the obligations of Seller
          under this  Agreement  shall be offset  against  the amount of the One
          year  Promissory  Note. In the event such amount exceeds the amount of
          the One year Promissory Note, the corresponding amount shall be offset
          against the amount of the Two year Promissory Note.

     (b)  In the  event  of a  Closing  Customer  Recurring  Revenue  Loss,  the
          Purchase  Price  shall  be  considered  to  be  reduced  in  the  same
          proportion as that of the corresponding offset.

     (c)  In the events  provided above,  the Promissory  Notes, as the case may
          be,  shall remain in full force and effect for the  remaining  balance
          after the offset referred to above.

     (d)  In the event the principal  amount of the Promissory Note is offset in
          full, the  obligations  of Seller to indemnify  Purchaser or to adjust
          the Purchase  Price shall be terminated as of the date of such offset,
          and under no circumstance or event Seller shall be liable to Purchaser
          or any other third party.

7.2  Termination.

     (a)  The  obligations  of Seller  pursuant to Articles V and VI above shall
          terminate as follows:
          (i)  The  Indemnification  for Losses shall terminate on 2 (two) years
               from the Closing Date, and

               (ii) receipt of Independent  Auditor report  described in Section
               6.2(e) above.

     (b)  In the  event a  claim  for  indemnification  is  made  prior  to such
          termination,  such  termination  shall not affect or in any way impair
          the  rights  of  Purchaser  to   indemnification  in  respect  of  the
          particular  matter as to which the claim is made,  whether  or not the
          amount of indemnification to which Purchaser is entitled in respect of
          such matter shall have been determined prior to such termination.

     7.3  Knowledge by  Purchaser.  Purchaser  represents  and warrant to Seller
that, to the extent of liabilities disclosed,  none of the information expressly
set out in the written  materials  delivered by Seller to Purchaser prior to, or
simultaneously  with,  the Closing  leads  Purchaser to conclude  that there has
occurred a Loss or a Customer  Recurring  Revenue  Loss as of the  Closing,  and
Purchaser  acknowledges  that Seller is relying on the foregoing  representation
and warranty in agreeing to make the  indemnities  set out in Section 5.1 and to
adjust the Purchase Price as set out in Section 6.1.

          be free  trading,  or if not the shares  shall be  included n the next
          registration filed by the Corporation.  The warrants shall have "piggy
          back" registration rights and will, at the expense of the Corporation,

               Paragraph  6, below,  the  Corporation  shall hold  harmless  the
               Consultant  from any and all  errors,  omissions,  misstatements,
