                           MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

    SECTION 1.01. On July 1, 2001 ITEX CORPORATION entered into a written FEE
PAID INDEPENDENT RETAIL BROKERAGE AGREEMENT with Peter Adam to purchase a
non-exclusive franchise for the operation of a licensed ITEX broker office
servicing approximately 1000 members of the ITEX retail trade exchange who had
previously been members of UBARTER.COM. After entering into the agreement the
parties discovered that the volume of combined trade volume at the time Peter
Adam opened his office was substantially less than both the parties had
anticipated. Therefore, the parties instead of rescinding the agreement or
taking action for breach or misrepresentation, have decided to modify that
agreement as follows:

    SECTION 1.02.  Paragraph 5.17 which previously stated:

         "5.17 AMOUNT OF FRANCHISE FEE. The amount of the franchise fee to be
         paid by Peter Adam is the sum of $400,000 (US). The fee will be payable
         $160,000 (US) upon execution of this agreement and the balance paid in
         installments of $6,666 (US) commencing July 31, 2001 and continuing
         each month on the last day of each subsequent month. If any payment is
         not received by the due date, the obligation will be deemed to be in
         default, at the option of ITEX, and the entire unpaid balance of the
         franchise fee shall be immediately due and payable. No interest shall
         accrue on the unpaid balance unless there is a default, after which
         time interest will accrue at the rate of 8% per annum."

IS REVISED TO STATE AS FOLLOWS:

5.17 AMOUNT OF FRANCHISE FEE. The amount of the franchise fee to be paid by
Peter Adam is the sum of $250,000 (US). The fee will be payable for a term of
thirty-nine four-weekly installments of $6410.25 (US), commencing November 1,
2001. The balance shall accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum and shall
all be due at the end of the term. Payments will be first credited to the
outstanding balance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance, but will
not be paid until the end of the term. Because of his unforeseen expenditures
upon commencement of his business operations, Peter Adam shall be entitled to a
credit of $18,000(CD) against accrued interest only. If Peter Adam pays ITEX a
down payment in the minimum amount of $125,000(US) within 120 days of the date
of this modification, the provisions of this paragraph requiring interest to
accrue and be paid shall be null and void, and the remaining balance shall be
reamortized over the remaining term. If the down payment is made and interest is
unpaid, the $18,000(CD) credit shall be withdrawn and no credit will be given.
In the event of default, the remaining balance, together with any unpaid
interest if any be due, shall be immediately be due and payable.

                                                                          1 of 3

SECTION 2.02.  Release

In consideration of the above provisions and mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties agree to release each other from all claims arising from the
circumstances described in Section 1.01. This is intended as a general release
of all claims relating to those circumstances, but in no way relieves either of
the parties of their mutual obligations under the original July 1, 2001
agreement or the other provisions of this modification. The parties waive the
provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides in pertinent
part: " A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release,
which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."

SECTION 3.01. Contract payment amounts

Upon execution of this agreement, ITEX CORPORATION will pay to Peter Adam by
wire transfer all sums that would otherwise have been payable under the original
July 1, 2001 through this date. For the six cycles commencing October 12, 2001,
Peter Adam will be compensated as though Removed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the clients assigned to his broker code
were on auto pay, pursuant to paragraph 2.3(e) of the July 1, 2001 agreement.

SECTION 4.01.  Effect of decrease in cash collections

Cycle 2, Fiscal Year 2002, cash collected for all of the clients assigned to
Peter Adam was Removed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. If future cash collections for two consecutive cycles fall below
Removed pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of this
amount, all clients previously assigned for servicing by ITEX Corporation to
Peter Adam shall be reassigned to other licensees or ITEX Corporate offices, at
the option of ITEX. Peter Adam will not be entitled to any refund of any monies
paid pursuant to paragraph 5.17.

SECTION 5.01.  Merger

This modification and the original July 1, 2001 Fee Paid Independent Retail
Brokerage Agreement are the only agreements between the parties. Any previous
verbal or written agreements are deemed merged into this agreement.

                                                                          2 of 3

SECTION 5.02  Facsimile signatures and counterparts

A facsimile signature is deemed to be legally enforceable by the parties. This
agreement may be executed in counter-parts.

EXHIBIT 10(j)

FORM OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

             THIS
AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 5th day of March, 2001, but

"Executive").

INTRODUCTION

             A.         Employment and Protection of
Employer.  Since before the
Effective Date, Executive has been and is presently employed by Employer in the
capacity of ______________reporting to Employer's __________________).  Employer desires to retain Executive as an
employee and obtain Executive's promises not to harm Employer (as set forth in
Article 7).  Article 7 of this Agreement
includes a description of Employer's "Confidential Information."  In Executive’s position with Employer,
Executive has access to and control over certain of Employer’s Confidential
Information, which Employer has developed at great expense, time and
effort.  As a result, disclosure of any
such Confidential Information to a competitor would cause irreparable harm to
Employer, and Employer is not willing to offer Executive the new and additional
benefits set forth in this Agreement unless Executive signs this Agreement to
provide Employer with reasonable protection for its Confidential Information,
and to protect Employer in other ways set forth in Article 7.

             B.         New Benefits.  For those purposes, Employer is willing to
grant to Executive, as of the Effective Date, new benefits to which Executive
is not otherwise entitled, consisting of: (1) certain new restricted shares of
Employer Stock (as described in Article 4), pursuant to the Restricted Stock
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Employer's 1998 Stock Option and
Compensation Plan; and (2)  the right to
receive certain severance compensation and outplacement benefits (as described
in Articles 5 and 6), if Executive's employment with Employer terminates under
certain circumstances described therein, including without limitation in
connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Article 6).

             C.         Other Intentions.  Executive desires to accept Employer's offer
of the new and additional benefits set forth in this Agreement, to which
Executive is not otherwise entitled; and to continue his salary, incentive
compensation and other benefits and perquisites at levels that reflect Executive's
past contributions and anticipated future contributions to Employer.

             Executive
agrees, as a condition of Employer's offer of 
the new and additional benefits set forth in this Agreement, to sign
this Agreement in order that Employer may have reasonable protections against
the disclosure of its Confidential Information and other conduct of Executive
prohibited by Article 7 of this Agreement.

involving or affecting Employer;

             (e)         any gross negligence or other willful

for Employer shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done,
by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of Employer.  Furthermore, the term "Cause"

by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.

             (b)         For purposes of this Agreement,
"Date of Termination" shall mean: (i) if Executive's employment is

terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of
Termination, which in such event shall be a date no earlier than thirty (30)
calendar days after the date on which the Notice of Termination is given,
unless an earlier date has been expressly agreed to by Executive in writing
either before or after receiving  such
Notice of Termination.

fails to perform Executive's duties hereunder as a result of Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness included in the definition of
Disability, Executive shall continue to receive all Base Salary and other
compensation and benefits to which Executive is otherwise entitled under this
Agreement and any Plan through Executive's Date of Termination.

             (b)         Except as otherwise provided in
Article 6 or a mutual agreement of the parties, if Executive's employment under
this Agreement is terminated (i) by Executive's death, (ii) voluntarily by Executive,
(iii) by Employer without Cause, or (iv) by mutual agreement of the parties,
then Employer shall pay Executive the Base Salary through the Date of
Termination, plus any amounts to which the Executive is entitled under any Plan
(in accordance with the terms of such Plan). 
Employer shall also pay any retirement benefits to which Executive is or
becomes entitled under any Plan, except to the extent any such benefits are
forfeited under the terms of such Plan.

             (c)         Except in the case of a termination
for Disability, if Employer terminates Executive's employment hereunder without
Cause, and if Executive executes a written release in a form acceptable to
Employer, then:

             (i)         Employer shall continue to pay any
amounts due to Executive for Base Salary in accordance with Section 3.1, at the
annual rate in effect thereunder immediately prior to the Date of Termination
(less any severance pay amounts due Executive under any written Plan generally
applicable to management employees of Employer), in the same manner as if
Executive had remained continuously employed, for a period of eleven (11)
months after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if no such
release has been executed by Executive, Employer shall nevertheless pay any severance
pay that may be due under any such Plan in the absence of any such release; and

             (ii)         if Executive (or any individual
eligible for group health Plan benefits through Executive) is eligible under
the Plan or applicable law to continue participation in Employer's group health
Plan during such eleven (11) month period, and does elect to continue such
benefits, Employer shall continue to pay Employer's share of the cost of such
benefits, as if Executive remained continuously employed with Employer throughout
such eleven (11) month period, but only while Executive or such other
individual continues to pay the balance of such cost.

             Executive
shall not be required to mitigate Employer's payment obligations under this
Article 5, by making any efforts to secure other employment for which Executive
is reasonably qualified by education, experience or background; and Executive's
commencement of employment with another employer shall not reduce the
obligations of Employer pursuant to this Article 5.

             (iv)         Employer's requiring Executive to be
based anywhere other than where Executive's office is located as of the day
before the Change in Control, except for required travel on Employer's business
to an extent substantially consistent with business travel obligations that
Executive undertook on behalf of Employer as of the day before the Change in
Control;

             (v)         any failure by Employer to obtain
from any Successor an assumption of this Agreement as contemplated by Section
8.2; or

             (vi)         any purported termination by Employer
of this Agreement or the employment of the Executive at any time after a Change
in Control, that is not expressly authorized by this Agreement; or any breach
of this Agreement by Employer at any time after a Change in Control, other than
an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure that does not occur in bad
faith and is remedied by Employer within a reasonable period after Employer's
receipt of notice thereof from Executive.

             6.2         Benefits Upon a Change in Control
Termination.  If a Change in Control
Termination occurs with respect to Executive, Executive shall be entitled to
the following benefits; provided, however, that to the extent Executive has
already received the same type of benefits under Article 5 as a result of
Executive's Change in Control Termination, Executive's benefits under this
Section 6.2 shall be offset by such other benefits, to the extent necessary to
prevent duplication of benefits hereunder:

             (a)         all of the payments and benefits that
Executive would have been entitled to receive if the Change in Control
Termination were described in Section 5.5(c); and

             (b)         for a period of not less than six (6)
months following Executive's Date of Termination, Employer will reimburse
Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive (excluding any
arrangement by which Executive prepays expenses for a period of greater than
thirty (30) days) in seeking employment with another employer, including the
fees of a reputable out placement organization selected by Employer, but not to
exceed $12,000.00 in the aggregate;

             Executive
shall not be required to mitigate Employer's payment obligations under this
Article 6 by making any efforts to secure other employment for which Executive
is reasonably qualified by education, experience or background; and Executive's
commencement of employment with another employer shall not reduce the
obligations of Employer pursuant to this Article 6.

ARTICLE 7

PROTECTION OF EMPLOYER

             7.1         Confidential Information.  For purposes of this Article 7,
"Confidential Information" means information that is proprietary to
Employer or proprietary to others and entrusted to Employer; whether or not
such information includes trade secrets. 
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information
relating to Employer's business plans and to its business as conducted or
anticipated to be conducted, and to its past or current or anticipated products
and services.  Confidential Information
also includes, without limitation, information concerning Employer's customer
lists or routes, pricing, purchasing, inventory, business methods, training manuals
or other materials developed for Employer's employee training, employee
compensation, research, development, accounting, marketing and selling.  All information that Executive has a
reasonable basis to consider as confidential shall be Confidential Information,
whether or not originated by Executive and without regard to the manner in
which Executive obtains access to this and any other proprietary information of
Employer.

             Executive shall not, during or
after the termination of Executive's employment under this Agreement, (a)
directly or indirectly use for Executive's own benefit; or (b) disclose any
Confidential Information to, or otherwise permit access to Confidential
Information by, any person or entity not employed by Employer or not authorized
by Employer to receive such Confidential Information, without the prior written
consent of Employer.  Executive will use
reasonable and prudent care to safeguard and protect and prevent the
unauthorized use and disclosure of Confidential Information.  Furthermore, except in the usual course of
Executive's duties for Employer, Executive shall not at any time remove any
Confidential Information from the offices of Employer, record or copy any
Confidential Information or use for Executive's own benefit or disclose to any
person or entity directly or indirectly competing with Employer any
information, data or materials obtained from the files or customers of
Employer, whether or not such information, data or materials are Confidential
Information.

             Upon
any termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall collect and return
to Employer (or its authorized representative) all original copies and all
other copies of any Confidential Information acquired by Executive while
employed by Employer.

             The
obligations contained in this Section 7.1 will survive for as long  as Employer in its sole judgment considers
the information to be Confidential Information.  The obligations under this Section 7.1 will not apply to any
Confidential Information that is now or becomes generally available to the
public through no fault of Executive or to Executive's disclosure of any
Confidential Information required by law or judicial or administrative process.

             7.2         Non-Competition.  Executive agrees that, while employed by
Employer and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of
Executive's termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, alone or as an officer, director, shareholder, partner,
member, employee or consultant of any other corporation or any partnership,
limited liability company, firm or other business entity:

             (a)         engage in, have any ownership
interest in, financial participation in, or become employed by, any business or
commercial activity in competition (i) with any part of Employer's business, as
conducted anywhere within the geographic area in which Employer has conducted
its business within the three (3) years before such date, or (ii) with any part
of Employer's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has
Confidential Information governed by Section 7.1.  For purposes of this paragraph, "ownership interest"
shall not include beneficial ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the
combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a
publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange or
quoted on NASDAQ;

             (b)         call upon, solicit or attempt to take
away any customers or accounts of Employer;

             (c)         solicit, induce or encourage any
supplier of goods or services to Employer to cease its business relationship
with Employer, or violate any term of any contract with Employer; or

             (d)         solicit, induce or encourage any
other employee of Employer to cease employment with Employer, or otherwise
violate any term of such employee's contract of employment with Employer.

             The
restrictions set forth in this Section 7.2 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement or other termination of Executive's employment with Employer,
and shall remain effective and enforceable for such 18-month period; provided,
however, that such period shall be automatically extended and shall remain in
full force for an additional period equal to any period in which Executive is
proven to have violated any such restriction.

             7.3         Protection of Reputation.
Executive shall, both during and after the termination of Executive's
employment under this Agreement, refrain from communicating to any person,
including without limitation any employee of Employer, any statements or
opinions that are negative in any way about Employer or any of its past,
present or future officials.  In return,
whenever Employer sends or receives any Notice of Termination of Executive's
employment under this Agreement, Employer shall advise the members of its
operating committee and executive committee (or any successors to such
committees), to refrain from negative communications about Executive to third
parties.

             7.4         Remedies.  The parties declare and agree that it is
impossible to accurately measure in money the damages that will accrue to
Employer by reason of Executive's 
failure to perform any of Executive's obligations under this Article 7;
and that any such breach will result in irreparable harm to Employer, for which
any remedy at law would be inadequate. 
Therefore, if Employer institutes any action or proceeding to enforce
the provisions of this Article 7, Executive hereby waives the claim or defense
that such party has an adequate remedy at law, Executive shall not assert in
any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an
adequate remedy at law, and Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all
other remedies or damages at law or in equity, to temporary and permanent
injunctions and orders to restrain any violations of this Article 7 by
Executive and all persons or entities acting for or with Executive.
