Customer: LanChile Airlines
          Av. Americo Vespucio 901
          Renca, Santiago, Chile

Contact:  Roberto  Cabrera  [Confidential  Treatment has been requested for this
          portion of this Exhibit]

SNAP2  hereby  grants  Customer,  and  Customer  hereby  accepts  from SNAP2,  a
non-exclusive and non-transferable  right to use the computer programs described
in Section 1 below (the  "Products")  on the  designated  hardware  described in
Section 2 below (the  "Designated  Hardware"),  for the term  specified  herein,
subject to the terms and conditions specified below.

                          GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. PRODUCTS

"Products"  means (i) the  machine-readable  object code version of the computer
programs  described in the Product  Schedule,  whether embedded on disc, tape or
other media, for use on the computer platform  specified in the Product Schedule
(the "Software"),  (ii) the published user manuals and documentation  that SNAP2
makes  generally  available  for the Software (the  "Documentation"),  (iii) the
fixes,  updates,  upgrades or new versions of the Software or Documentation that
SNAP2 may provide to Customer under this Agreement (the "Enhancements") and (iv)
any  copy  of the  Software,  Documentation  or  Enhancements.  Nothing  in this
Agreement  will  entitle  Customer to receive the source code of the Software or
Enhancements, in whole or in part.

2. DESIGNATED HARDWARE

"Designated  Hardware" means the hardware equipment  installed in the designated
aircraft,  each as  specified  in the  Product  Schedule.  Customer  may use the
Products as  described  in Section 3 only on the  Designated  Hardware  while it
possesses and operates the Designated Hardware. Any other use or transfer of the
Products  will  require  SNAP2's  prior   approval,   which  (i)  shall  not  be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed and (ii) may be subject to additional  charges
should any revision to the  Products be required as a result of the  alternative
use or transfer.

3. USE

Customer may use the Products only in and for Customer's  own internal  purposes
in providing in-flight entertainment to its passengers. Customer will not permit
any  other  person  to use the  Products,  whether  on a  time-sharing  or other
multiple user arrangement.  Customer may install the Software or Enhancements on
a network or other multi-user  computer system specified in the Product Schedule
and use the Designated Hardware to provide file services to Customer's in-flight
entertainment  consoles,  up to the  number of seats  specified  in the  Product
Schedule.  Customer may make a reasonable  number of back-up  archival copies of
the Software and Enhancements.  Customer will reproduce all  confidentiality and
proprietary  notices on each of these copies and maintain an accurate  record of
the  location  of each of  these  copies.  Customer  will  not  otherwise  copy,
translate,  modify,  adapt,  decompile,  disassemble  or  reverse  engineer  the
Products,  except as and to the extent expressly authorized by applicable law or
with the prior written approval of SNAP2.

4. PAYMENT

Customer will pay to SNAP2 the License Fee specified in the Product Schedule and
by the date specified in the Product Schedule. The License Fee is based upon the
per  aircraft  basis with access to an  in-flight  entertainment  console on the
designated aircraft as described in the Product Schedule.  Any increase in usage
may be subject to  additional  charges.  All  amounts  specified  in the Product
Schedule are exclusive of any applicable use, sales, service,  property or other
taxes or  contributions,  which  Customer will pay in addition to the amount due
and payable.  If, under local law or applicable treaty,  Customer is required to
withhold  any tax on such  payments,  then the  amount  of the  payment  will be
automatically  increased to totally offset such tax, so that the amount actually
remitted to SNAP2,  net of all taxes,  equals the amount  invoiced or  otherwise
due.  Customer will promptly  furnish SNAP2 with the official receipt of payment
of these taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. Any amount not paid when due
will  accrue  interest  at the rate of 1.5% per  month.  Customer  will pay such
interest when remitting the principal amount to SNAP2.

5.  SHIPMENT

SNAP2 will, at its own cost, ship the Products from its distribution center to a
mutually  agreed  third  party in the United  States,  subject to delays  beyond
SNAP2's  control.  Should Customer desire shipment outside of the United States,
then SNAP2 will select the method of shipment for Customer's  account and obtain
all  licenses  required  to export  the  Products  from the  country  of origin.
Customer  shall pay or reimburse  SNAP2 for the cost of shipment of the Products
to the port of entry at Customer's country of domicile. Customer will (i) obtain
all licenses required to import the Products into its country of domicile,  (ii)
clear the Products  through local  customs and (iii) pay all customs  duties and
other charges assessed on such  importations,  if applicable.  Risk of loss will
pass to Customer upon arrival of the Products at the port of entry in Customer's
country of domicile.

6. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

(a)  Maintenance.  During the warranty period  specified in Section 7(a),  SNAP2
will provide Customer,  at no additional charge, with the fixes and updates that
SNAP2 may make generally available as part of its standard  maintenance services
(the  "Updates").  Customer  may elect to  continue  receiving  Updates  for the
remainder of the Term (as defined in Section  12(a))  after the Warranty  Period
(the "Maintenance Period") as long as the Agreement is in effect.

(b) "Hot-Line"  Support.  During the Warranty Period and any Maintenance  Period
for which  Customer has paid,  SNAP2 will  provide  Customer,  at no  additional
charge, with advice, consultation and assistance to use the Product and diagnose
and correct problems that Customer may encounter (the "Hot-Line Support"). SNAP2
will offer the Hot-Line Support  remotely by telephone,  fax or other electronic
communication during its business hours, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm C.S.T. Customer will
bear all telephone and other  expenses that it may incur in connection  with the

(c)  Limitation.  The Updates will not include any upgrade or new version of the
Products that SNAP2 decides, in its sole discretion, to make generally available
to its  customer  base as a  separately  priced  item.  This Section will not be
interpreted  to require  SNAP2 to (i) develop and release  Enhancements  or (ii)
customize  the   Enhancements  to  operate  in  conjunction  with  any  Customer
Modification  or  otherwise  satisfy  Customers'   particular  requests.  If  an
Enhancement  replaces the prior  version of the Product,  Customer  will destroy
such prior version upon installing the Enhancement.

record,  store,  process and present  calendar dates falling before December 31,
1999,  (iv) it will perform any  maintenance  and support  services  pursuant to
Section 6 with reasonable  care and skill.  Customer  acknowledges  that (i) the
Products  may not satisfy all of  Customer's  requirements,  (ii) the use of the
Products may not be  uninterrupted or error-free and (iii) this limited warranty
will be not  apply  in  case of any  Customer  Modifications.  Customer  further
acknowledges that (i) the License Fee and other charges  contemplated under this

liability  specified  in  Sections  7, 8 and 9 and (ii)  such  charges  would be
substantially higher if any of these provisions were unenforceable.

(b)  Remedies.  In case of breach of warranty  or any other duty  related to the
quality  of the  Products,  SNAP2 or its  representative  will,  at its own cost
promptly correct or replace any defective Software or, if not practicable, SNAP2

based on a 5-year straight line depreciation schedule, and (ii) a pro rata share
of any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to SNAP2 for the period that
such Software was not usable.  Customer  acknowledges  that this  Paragraph sets
forth Customer's  exclusive  remedy,  and SNAP2's exclusive  liability,  for any
breach of warranty or other duty related to the quality of the Products.

(c) Limitations.  The warranty  provided in this Section 7 will not apply to the
extent  that the  breach of  warranty  or Product  defect is not  brought to the
attention of SNAP2 during the  applicable  warranty  period or arises SNAP2 as a
result of (i) failure to properly  install or use the Product in accordance with
its  documentation,  (ii)  failure  of the  operating  environment  or  hardware
failure, (iii) modification of the Products other than by SNAP2, (iv) failure to
promptly  install an Update  provided  to the  Customer by SNAP2 that would have
eliminated the defect,  (v) use of the Products with ambiguous date related data
or in a Year 2000 non-compliant operating environment or (vi) the combination of
the  Products  with other items not  provided  by SNAP2,  but only if the breach
would  not have  occurred  from use of the  Product  alone  with the  Designated
Hardware existing as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) Disclaimer.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES,
CONDITIONS,  REPRESENTATIONS,  INDEMNITIES  AND  GUARANTEES  WITH RESPECT TO THE
PRODUCTS,  WHETHER  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  ARISING BY LAW,  CUSTOM,  PRIOR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY SNAP2, ITS AGENTS OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.

8. INDEMNITY

(a) Indemnity.  If an action is brought against Customer claiming that a Product
infringes a presently issued U.S. patent, or a copyright or trade secret,  SNAP2
will defend Customer at SNAP2's expense and, subject to this Section and Section
9,  pay  the  damages  and  costs  finally  awarded  against   customer  in  the
infringement  action,  but only if (i) Customer  notifies  SNAP2  promptly  upon
learning that the claim might be asserted,  (ii) SNAP2 has sole control over the
defense of the claim and any  negotiation  for its  settlement or compromise and
(iii)  Customer  provides  SNAP2  with full  cooperation  in the  investigation,
defense and settlement of such claim as SNAP2 may reasonably require,  providing
that Customer shall be reimbursed  all of its reasonable out of pocket  expenses
incurred as a result.

(b) Alternative  Remedy. If a claim described in Section 8(a) may be or has been
asserted,  Customer will permit  SNAP2,  at SNAP2's  option and expense,  to (i)
procure  the right to continue  using the  Product,  (ii)  replace or modify the
Product to eliminate the infringement  while providing  functionally  equivalent
performance or (iii) if SNAP2 determines that the remedies  specified in (i) and
(ii) are  unavailable  to SNAP2 on  commercially  reasonable  terms,  accept the
return of the Product and refund to Customer the amount  actually  paid to SNAP2
for such Product, less depreciation based on a 5-year straight-line depreciation
schedule and a pro rata share of any  maintenance  fees that  Customer  actually
paid to SNAP2 for the period that such Product was not usable.

(c) Limitation.  SNAP2 shall have no indemnity obligation to Customer under this
Section if the infringement  claim results from (i) a correction or modification
of the Product not provided by SNAP2, such as a Customer

<PAGE>

Modification,  (ii) the  failure  to  promptly  install  an Update  provided  to
Customer by SNAP2 or (iii) the  combination  of the Product with other items not
provided by SNAP2,  unless the infringement  would have occurred from use of the
Product alone.

UNDER  NO  CIRCUMSTANCES   WILL  SNAP2  OR  ITS  LICENSORS  BE  LIABLE  FOR  ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL,  INDIRECT,  SPECIAL,  PUNITIVE  OR  INCIDENTAL  DAMAGES  OR  LOST
PROFITS,  WHETHER  FORESEEABLE OR  UNFORESEEABLE,  BASED ON CUSTOMER'S CLAIMS OR
THOSE OF ITS PASSENGERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA,
GOODWILL,  USE  OF  MONEY  OR  USE  OF  THE  PRODUCTS,  INTERRUPTION  IN  USE OR
AVAILABILITY  OF DATA,  STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR  IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS OR

IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE  LIABILITY WHICH SNAP2 OR ITS LICENSORS MAY INCUR
IN ANY ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT  ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER
FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT DIRECTLY CAUSED THE DAMAGE.  THIS SECTION WILL NOT
APPLY ONLY WHEN AND TO THE EXTENT  THAT  APPLICABLE  LAW  SPECIFICALLY  REQUIRES
LIABILITY, DESPITE THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION.

10. OWNERSHIP

All  trademarks,  service marks,  patents,  copyrights,  trade secrets and other
proprietary  rights  in or  related  to the  Products  are and will  remain  the
exclusive  property  of  SNAP2 or its  licensors,  whether  or not  specifically
recognized or perfected under applicable law.  Customer will not take any action
that  jeopardizes  SNAP2's or its licensor's  proprietary  rights or acquire any
right in the  Products,  except the limited use rights  specified  in Section 3.
SNAP2  or  its  licensor   will  own  all  rights  in  any  copy,   translation,
modification,  adaptation or derivation of the Products,  including any Customer
Modification or other improvement or development of the Products.  Customer will
obtain,  at  SNAP2's  reasonable  request  and  expense,  the  execution  of any
instrument  that may be  appropriate  to  assign  these  rights  to SNAP2 or its
designee or perfect these rights in SNAP2's or its licensor's name.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY

confidentiality  of the  Products,  including  (i) those  taken by  Customer  to
protect  Customer's own  confidential  information and (ii) those which SNAP2 or
its authorized representative may reasonably request from time to time. Customer

other person, except (i) to those of Customer's employees or consultants who (x)
require  access for  Customer's  authorized use of the Products and (y) agree to
comply with the use and non-disclosure  restrictions  applicable to the Products
under this  Agreement.  Customer  shall cause any employee or consultant who has
access  to the  source  code  of  the  Software  to  expressly  acknowledge  its
confidential and proprietary nature. Customer acknowledges that any unauthorized
use or disclosure  of the Products may cause  irreparable  damage to SNAP2,  its
licensors and SNAP2. If an unauthorized use or disclosure occurs,  Customer will
immediately notify SNAP2 and take, at Customer's expense, all steps which may be
available to recover the Products and to prevent their  subsequent  unauthorized
use or dissemination.

any portion of the Products  that (i) Customer knew or  independently  developed
before  receiving the Products  under this  Agreement,  (ii)  Customer  lawfully
obtained from a third party under no  confidentiality  obligation,  (iii) became

(a) Term.  This agreement  will become  effective as of the date set forth below

provides the other with written notice of its intention not to renew at least 30
days prior to the expiration of the Term or any renewal thereof.

(b) Termination for Convenience.  Customer may terminate this Agreement, without
right to refund, by notifying SNAP2 of such termination.

(c)  Termination for Cause.  Customer may terminate this Agreement,  immediately

resolution, if the other party or any of its employees or agents breach any term
or condition hereof and such breach is not cured within 60 days after receipt of
notice specifying the breach and demanding its cure; provided,  however,  that a
cure period  shall be  applicable  to a breach of Sections 10 or 11 only if such
breach is, in the  non-breaching  party's opinion,  reasonably  capable of cure.
This Agreement will terminate automatically if either party becomes insolvent or
enters into bankruptcy,  suspension of payments,  moratorium,  reorganization or
any other  proceeding  that relates to  insolvency  or  protection of creditors'
rights.  Upon the  termination  of this  Agreement  for any  reason,  all rights

other computer systems, storage media and other files, (ii) destroy the Products
and all copies  thereof and (iii) deliver to SNAP2 a letter signed by an officer

obligations.  Upon termination of this Agreement by Customer pursuant to Section

provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 will survive the  termination of this
Agreement.

To the extent that the WORK delivered to WNI hereunder includes material subject
to  copyright,  CONTRACTOR  agrees that the WORK is done as a "work for hire" as
that term is defined under U.S.  copyright law, and that as a result,  WNI shall
own all  copyrights in the WORK. To the extent that the WORK does not qualify as
a work for hire under  applicable  law, and to the extent that the WORK includes

protection,  CONTRACTOR hereby assigns to WNI, its parent companies,  successors
and assigns,  all right,  title and interest in and to the WORK,  including  all

(including  renewals  thereof).   CONTRACTOR  shall  execute  and  deliver  such
instruments  and take such other action as may be required and  requested by WNI
to carry out the  assignment  contemplated  by this  paragraph.  Any  documents,
magnetically  or  optically   encoded  media,  or  other  materials  created  by

terms of this section. To the maximum extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR waives
all moral rights in the WORK.

not violate any agreement or obligation between CONTRACTOR and a third party;

     (b) The WORK will  either be  originally  created  by  CONTRACTOR,  or that
CONTRACTOR will obtain all necessary rights to the WORK to transfer ownership to
WNI as required by Section 4 above;

     (c) The  WORK  will not  infringe  any  copyright,  patent,  trade  secret,
trademark or other proprietary right held by any third party;

     (d) All services provided by CONTRACTOR in connection with the WORK will be

centuries,  including leap years;  and the  information  technology,  financial,
operational,  communication  and other systems and processes used by CONTRACTOR,
its subcontractors,  agents, and other third parties in connection with the WORK
shall not be interrupted or adversely affected by the manipulation,  processing,
comparison, display or calculation of dates from, into and between the twentieth
and  twenty-first  centuries,  including  leap years.  Additionally,  CONTRACTOR
agrees to cooperate  with WNI and provide all necessary  information in a prompt
manner should MICROSOFT have any inquiries  regarding the Year 2000 readiness of
CONTRACTOR or any of the  information or technology  that is the subject of this
Section 5(e); and

6. INDEMNITY

CONTRACTOR  agrees to indemnify,  pay the defense costs of, and hold WNI and its
parent companies,  successors,  officers,  directors and employees harmless from
any and all actions,  causes of action,  claims,  demands,  costs,  liabilities,
expenses  and  damages  (including  attorneys'  fees)  arising  out  of,  or  in
connection  with (i) any claim for bodily injury,  death,  or property damage to
the extent caused by CONTRACTOR in connection with the WORK, (ii) any claim that
the WORK  infringes any copyright,  patent,  trade secret,  trademark,  or other
legal right of any third party,  or (iii) any other claim that,  if true,  would
constitute a breach of CONTRACTOR's warranties set forth in Section 5 above.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

CONTRACTOR  agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement,  and for
five (5) years  thereafter,  CONTRACTOR will hold in strictest  confidence,  and
will not use or disclose to any third party,  any Confidential  Information,  as
defined herein.  The term  "Confidential  Information" shall mean all non-public
information  that WNI  designates  as being  confidential,  or which,  under the
circumstances of disclosure  ought to be treated as  confidential.  Confidential
Information  includes,  without  limitation,  the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement,   information  relating  to  released  or  unreleased  WNI  products,
marketing or promotion  of any WNI  product,  business  policies or practices of
WNI, customers or suppliers of WNI, or information received from others that WNI
is obligated to treat as  confidential.  If  CONTRACTOR  has any questions as to
what comprises Confidential Information,  CONTRACTOR agrees to consult with WNI.
Confidential  Information  shall  not  include  information  that  was  known to
CONTRACTOR prior to WNI's disclosure to CONTRACTOR,  or information that becomes
publicly available through no fault of CONTRACTOR.

8. INSURANCE

     8.1  CONTRACTOR  warrants  that  it  shall  maintain  sufficient  insurance
     coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and
     by law.  Without  limiting the  foregoing,  CONTRACTOR  warrants  that such
     insurance  shall  include the  following  lines of coverage  (with  minimum
     limits of $1,000,000 per  occurrence) to the extent this Agreement  creates
     exposures generally covered by these insurance policies: Commercial General
     Liability (Occurrence Form),  Automobile  Liability,  Workers' Compensation
     (statutory limits), and Employer's Liability.

     8.2 In addition, if:

     (a) the  WORK  consists  of,  includes,  or  results  in any  copyrightable
material; or

     (b)  CONTRACTOR's  performance of the WORK  constitutes  such  professional
consulting services as:

          (i) system development, design, or maintenance;

          (ii) technical support; or

          (iii)   financial   services  (e.g.,   collections,   and  transaction
     authorization);

               then CONTRACTOR shall maintain Professional  Liability and Errors
          & Omissions  Liability  Insurance  with policy limits of not less than
          One Million Dollars  (US$1,000,000.00) each claim with a deductible of
          not  more  than  Twenty-Five  Thousand  Dollars  (US$25,000.00).  Such
          insurance shall include  coverage for  infringement of any proprietary
          right of any third party,  including without limitation  copyright and
          trademark  infringement as related to CONTRACTOR's  performance  under
          this  Agreement.  The  Professional  Liability  and Errors & Omissions
          Liability  Insurance  retroactive  coverage date will be no later than
          the Effective Date.  CONTRACTOR  shall maintain an extended  reporting
          period  providing that claims first made and reported to the insurance
          company  within two (2) years after  WNI's final  payment for the WORK
          will be deemed to have been made during the policy period.

     8.3 Upon request,  CONTRACTOR  shall deliver to WNI proof of such coverage.
In the event that  CONTRACTOR's  proof  evidences  coverage which WNI reasonably
determines  to be less  than  that  required  to meet  CONTRACTOR'S  obligations
created by this Agreement, then CONTRACTOR agrees that it shall promptly acquire
such coverage and notify WNI in writing thereof.

9. TERM

9.1  WNI may terminate this Agreement and cancel CONTRACTOR's services hereunder
     at any time without  cause and without  further  obligation  to  CONTRACTOR
     except  for  payment  due  for  services  performed  with  respect  to WORK
     completed  and accepted by WNI prior to the date of written  notice of such
     termination.

9.2  Upon the earlier of either  completion of the WORK or  termination  of this
     Agreement,  CONTRACTOR  shall  return to WNI all WNI  Materials,  drawings,
     blueprints, notes, memoranda,  specifications,  designs, devices, documents
     and any  other  material  containing  or  disclosing  any  confidential  or
     proprietary  information  of WNI.  CONTRACTOR  shall  not  retain  any such
     materials  without WNI's written  approval.  In the event of termination of
     this Agreement and upon request by WNI,  CONTRACTOR  agrees to turn over to
     WNI all WORK, whether complete or in progress, within ten (10) days of such
     termination.

9.3  Upon any expiration of this  Agreement,  Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9.2, 9.3, and
     10 shall survive.

10.  GENERAL

10.1 CONTRACTOR is an independent  contractor for WNI. Nothing in this Agreement
     shall be  construed  as creating an  employer-employee  relationship,  as a
     guarantee  of  future  employment,  or  as a  limitation  upon  WNI's  sole
     discretion  to  terminate   this  Agreement  at  any  time  without  cause.
     CONTRACTOR further agrees to be responsible for all of CONTRACTOR's federal
     and  state  taxes,  withholding,  social  security,  insurance,  and  other
     benefits.  Upon request,  CONTRACTOR  shall  provide WNI with  satisfactory
     proof of independent contractor status. CONTRACTOR further warrants that in
     the event the Internal  Revenue  Service or any other state or local agency
     determines  that  CONTRACTOR  is a common law employee of WNI and therefore
     subject to  withholding  and payroll taxes (e.g.  federal income tax, FICA,
     FUTA,  etc.),  CONTRACTOR will fully indemnify WNI for all such withholding
     and payroll taxes, and associated interest and penalties,  if any, assessed
     against WNI in connection with such  determination.  In the event taxes are
     required to be withheld on payments  made  hereunder by any U.S.  (state or
     federal) or foreign  government,  WNI may deduct such taxes from the amount
     owed CONTRACTOR and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. WNI shall
     in turn promptly  secure and deliver to CONTRACTOR an official  receipt for
     any taxes withheld.  WNI will use reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes
     to the extent permissible under applicable law.

10.2 CONTRACTOR is free to engage in other independent  contracting  activities,
     provided that CONTRACTOR  does not engage in any such activities  which are
     inconsistent  with any provisions  hereof,  or that so occupy  CONTRACTOR's
     time  as  to  interfere  with  the  proper  and  efficient  performance  of
     CONTRACTOR's services hereunder.

10.3 This  Agreement  may not be assigned by either party  without prior written
     consent of the other;  provided,  however,  WNI may assign the Agreement to
     Microsoft Corporation.

10.4 CONTRACTOR agrees that WNI will not be responsible for loss of or damage to
     any personal property located on WNI premises belonging to CONTRACTOR.

10.5 This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with the
     laws of the State of California,  Northern District.  The federal and state
     courts  within  the State of  California,  Northern  District,  shall  have
     exclusive   jurisdiction  to  adjudicate  any  dispute  arising  with  this
     Agreement  and  CONTRACTOR  hereby  consents to such  jurisdiction.  In any
     action or suit to enforce any right or remedy  under this  Agreement  or to
     interpret any provision of this  Agreement,  the prevailing  party shall be
     entitled  to  recover  its costs,  including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees.
     Process  shall be  served  on  either  party in the  manner  authorized  by
     applicable law or court rule.

10.6 This  Agreement  does not  constitute  an offer by WNI and it shall  not be
     effective  until signed by both parties.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the
     entire agreement  between parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
     and merges all prior and  contemporaneous  communications.  It shall not be
     modified  except by a written  agreement  signed by  CONTRACTOR  and WNI by
     their duly authorized representatives.
