granted to Licensee under this Agreement is

TRADEX Software License Agreement v.2.0                 1
Confidential

<PAGE>

conditioned upon the timely payment by Licensee of all Fees.

      2.2. All right, title and interest in and to the Software and all copies
thereof are and shall remain the exclusive property of TRADEX.  No implied
license or right of any kind is granted to Licensee regarding the Software.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Licensee shall not and shall
not allow third parties to reproduce, copy, market, sell, distribute, transfer,
translate, modify, adapt, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the
Software or obtain possession of any source code or other technical material
relating to the Software.  Licensee's rights may not be transferred, leased,
assigned or sublicensed.  No service bureau work, multiple-user license, or
time-sharing arrangement is permitted, provided, however, Licensee's use of the
Software to host an authorized Marketplace for use by Third Party End Users, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall not be considered a
prohibited service bureau, multiple-user license or time-sharing arrangement.

      2.3. At Licensee's request, TRADEX will disclose certain Software API's
to Licensee (as deemed appropriate in TRADEX's sole discretion) solely for
Licensee's use in developing Licensee Applications.  Licensee may use the
Software API's for no other purpose.  Licensee's license to develop Licensee
Applications using the Software API's will not include, implicitly or
otherwise, either ownership of, or the right to incorporate or distribute, any
Proprietary Information.  In return, Licensee agrees that Licensee will not
sublicense, re-market, lease, license or allow any third party to use any
Licensee Applications, except that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply
to the use of the Licensee Applications by authorized Third Party End Users for
use in Licensee's Marketplace only.  All Software API's shall be considered
"Proprietary Information" as defined below.

3.    PAYMENT TO TRADEX.  Licensee shall pay TRADEX all [ILLEGIBLE] set forth
in Schedule A.  Licensee shall pay any shipping costs, taxes, other duties,
tax penalties, or amounts in lieu thereof, however designated, now or
hereafter levied or based on payments due under this Agreement, any license
granted hereunder, the transfer, use or receipt of the Software or the
Software storage media, exclusive of taxes based upon TRADEX's net income.
Unless otherwise specified in Exhibit A, payment for all Fees and charges is
due and payable in full within thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of
TRADEX's invoices.  Payments received beyond thirty (30) days will result in
a late charge equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) interest
fee per month until paid or the maximum amount allowable under applicable
law.  All prices and payments are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

4.    LICENSEE OBLIGATIONS.

necessary support for the Software.  Such support includes, but is not limited
to, installation, training and telephone support.  Except pursuant to the terms

agreed by the parties in writing (collectively "Support Services"), Licensee
shall not receive any support services from TRADEX nor receive Upgrades or
Updates.  Licensee shall inform its Users of the prohibitions in this Agreement
against unauthorized access, use and copying of the Software, including screen
displays, and shall use its best efforts to enforce such prohibitions.

the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

      4.5. Licensee shall obtain the consent of every Third Party End User with
access to the User Interface to the Third Party End User Agreement or other
agreement containing terms no less restrictive than the terms of this Agreement
and terms substantially in conformance with the terms and conditions set forth
in Schedule B.  A "click wrap" acceptance of the Third Party End User Agreement
will be acceptable in lieu of a hand-signed Third Party End User Agreement.

      4.6. Licensee shall prominently display the "Powered by TRADEX" logo,
attached hereto as Schedule C, in each application screen of the Software
displayed to Marketplace Users.  The "Powered by TRADEX" logo will be placed in

Licensee's use of TRADEX software will be available following the press
release referred to above.

           4.9.  During the term of this Agreement, Licensee grants TRADEX a
limited, non-exclusive right to place Licensee's trademarks and logos on
TRADEX's web site and marketing materials solely for the purpose of identifying
Licensee as a user of the Software.

           4.10.    TRADEX and Licensee will cooperate in good faith to author
and publish a case study relating to the Software in html and print formats
including pertinent quotes and photographs from the executive management of
each party.

5.    TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHT NOTICES.  Licensee shall not use any trademark,
trade name, service mark or service name of TRADEX, except in connection with
the promotion and support of the Software, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and, only if TRADEX has previously consented in writing to
the manner of such use and approved the materials in which it will appear.
Without the prior written approval of TRADEX, Licensee shall not, on its own
initiative, take any action to register any trademark, trade name, service mark
or service

immediately assign the registered name or mark to TRADEX. Licensee agrees to

8.  PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; PROTECTION OF SOFTWARE.

8.1. In the performance of this Agreement, either party may disclose to the
other certain Proprietary Information. For the purposes of this Agreement,
(i) "Proprietary Information" means Trade Secrets and Confidential
Information; (ii) "Trade Secrets" means trade secrets as defined under
Article 27 of Chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated; and (iii) "Confidential Information" means information that is of
value to its owner and is treated as confidential other than Trade Secrets.
Proprietary Information includes, without limitation, the Software and
Documentation, all financial information, Licensee's Payment Reports,
business plans, customer lists, procedures, formulas, discoveries,
inventions, improvements, innovations, concepts and ideas. The receiving
party agrees to hold the Proprietary Information disclosed by the other party
in strictest confidence and not to, directly or indirectly, copy, use,
reproduce, distribute, manufacture, duplicate, reveal, report, publish,
disclose, cause to be disclosed, or otherwise transfer the Proprietary
Information for any purpose whatsoever other than as expressly provided by
this Agreement.

    8.1. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Proprietary Information
shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing party or a third
party providing such information to the disclosing party. The disclosure of the
Proprietary Information does not confer upon the receiving party any license,
interest, or rights of any kind in or to the Proprietary Information, except as
expressly provided under this Agreement. Subject to the terms set forth herein,
the receiving party shall protect the Proprietary Information of the disclosing
party with the same degree of protection and care the receiving party uses to
protect its own Proprietary Information, but in no event less than reasonable
care. With regard to Trade Secrets, the obligations in this Section shall
continue for so long as such information constitutes a Trade Secret. With regard
to Confidential Information, the obligations in this Section shall continue for
the longer of (i) the duration dictated under governing law, or (ii) the term of
this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter.

    8.2. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit or limit the receiving party's
use of information if (i) at the time of disclosure hereunder such information
is generally available to the public; (ii) after disclosure hereunder such
information becomes generally available to the public, except through breach of
this Agreement by the receiving party; (iii) the receiving party can demonstrate
such information was in its possession prior to the time of disclosure by the
disclosing party; (iv) the information becomes available to the receiving party
from a third party which is not legally prohibited from disclosing such
information; (v) the receiving party can demonstrate the information was
developed by or for it independently without the use of such information; or
(vi) if disclosure is required under applicable law or regulation.

    8.3. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement except (i) as
required by applicable law or regulation, (ii) to its employees and agents with
a need to know such terms, or (iii) in connection with a potential merger or
sale of all or substantially all of its assets; provided that the receiving
party agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions of this Agreement.

9.  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION.

    9.1. TRADEX agrees to defend and hold Licensee harmless against any
liability or claim that the Software infringes a United States copyright or
trade secret, and will pay resulting costs,

TRADEX Software License Agreement v.2.0   3
Confidential
<PAGE>

damages and attorneys' fees finally awarded, provided that: (i) Licensee
promptly notifies TRADEX of any such claim; (b) Licensee provides TRADEX with
all information and assistance necessary to defend or settle such liability or
claim; and (c) TRADEX has sole control of the defense and all related settlement
negotiations. If such liability or claim occurs, or in TRADEX'S opinion is
likely to occur, Licensee agrees to permit TRADEX, at its option and expense but
without obligation to do so, either to procure for Licensee the right to
continue using the Software or to replace or modify the same so that they become
non-infringing and provide similar functionality. If neither of the foregoing
alternatives are reasonably available to TRADEX as determined in its sole
discretion, then TRADEX may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days
written notice to Licensee, and shall refund the Fees received by TRADEX in the
twelve (12) months prior to such termination. This Section states the entire
obligation of TRADEX and the sole remedy of Licensee with respect to
infringement or claims of infringement of patents, copyrights, and trade
secrets.

    9.2. TRADEX shall have no obligation to defend Licensee or to pay any costs,
damages or attorney's fees for any claim based upon use of other than an
unmodified release of the Software if such infringement relates to the use of
the Software with hardware, Software or other items where such infringement
would have been avoided by the use of the Software alone.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

    10.1. This Agreement shall remain in force unless terminated as provided
herein.

    10.2. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement: (i)
in the event that the other party breaches any provision of this Agreement
and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving written
notice of termination specifying the alleged breach; (ii) immediately upon
written notice, in the event Licensee shall breach any provision of Sections
2, 4.3, 4.7, 5 or 8. Additionally, TRADEX shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement: (i) immediately if Licensee fails to make any payment
obligation due hereunder and continues to be delinquent for a period of
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of non-payment, or (ii)
immediately in the event that the Licensee becomes insolvent, files or is
forced to file any petition in bankruptcy, or makes an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors.

    10.3 Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any
reason upon sixty (60) days written notice to TRADEX.

11. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason:

days from the date of any such termination, Licensee shall provide TRADEX with a

not retained any copies of (i) the Software, (ii) the Documentation, (iii) any
licensing, delivery or technical information regarding the Software, or (iv) any
other Proprietary Information of TRADEX;

by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed, kept or
performed after termination of this Agreement will survive the termination of
this Agreement and remain binding upon and for the benefit of the parties, their
successors and permitted assignees including, without limitation, Sections 2.3,
3, 4.3, 4.7, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.

12. REPORTING AND AUDIT.

payment obligations set forth in Schedule A. Licensee agrees to maintain
complete and adequate records relating to the calculation and payment of Fees to
TRADEX and submit Payment Reports to TRADEX as set forth in Schedule A.

event an audit performed by TRADEX should establish an underpayment of greater
than five (5) percent of the payment owed TRADEX for any particular period,
Licensee shall be responsible for reimbursement of reasonable, verifiable costs
related to the performance of the subject audit by the independent certified
public accountant.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

    13.1. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the
other party for any delays in the performance of its obligations or duties due
to acts of God, strikes, transportation delays, fires, floods, riots, political
uprisings or revolutions, labor disputes, freight embargoes, shortage of labor,
inability to secure fuel or power at reasonable prices or on account of
shortages thereof, laws or acts of any Federal, state or local government
affecting the Software or the conduct of the parties, including export licensing
restrictions or other export restrictions, or any other such causes beyond such
party's reasonable control, except in no event shall this paragraph apply to any
payments due to TRADEX hereunder.

    13.2. TRADEX'S LICENSORS. TRADEX may make modifications to the terms of this
Agreement, provided that any such changes do not materially lessen Licensee's
rights and entitlements hereunder, to reflect accurately a material change in
the terms of a license agreement ("Supplier Agreement") between TRADEX and its
licensor of technology to TRADEX which is incorporated into the Licensed
Materials. TRADEX shall inform Licensee of any such modifications by
transmitting a copy of the material changes subject to ninety (90) days prior

Confidential
<PAGE>

merger, acquisition or otherwise, except that Licensee, in connection with
the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, shall be entitled to
transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in their entirety,
to an acquiring entity so long as such acquiring entity is not a competitor
of TRADEX in its business as a developer and/or distributor of business to
business e-commerce software solutions. In the event of such acquisition,
TRADEX and Licensee shall renegotiate the Annual License Fee, based upon the
size and nature of the acquiring entity, which agreed upon Annual License Fee
shall not exceed $500,000 annually for the Aerospace Vertical Market. Any
such prohibited assignment shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the
above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

    13.4. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. No amendment to or modification of this
Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless such amendment or
modification is reduced to writing, dated and executed by the parties to this
Agreement and it is identified by the parties to be an amendment to this
Agreement.

    13.5. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices given under
this Agreement shall be effected either by personal delivery in writing, by
facsimile or by mailing to the addresses via air mail, postage prepaid (and

Licensing, Tradex Technologies, Inc. 11625 Rainwater Drive, Building 500
Suite 200 Alpharetta, GA 30004. Notices shall be deemed to be received as of
the date of actual receipt; or if mailed, notices shall be deemed to be
received as of the earlier of actual receipt or seven (7) days after mailing;
or if sent by facsimile, notices shall be deemed to be received the day
following the day of sending.

    13.6. WAIVER. No failure or delay of any party to exercise any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise of
any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by any related document
or by law. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be
effective unless made in writing, identified in such writing by the parties as a
waiver pursuant to this paragraph, and signed by the party alleged to have
waived.

    13.7. CONSTRUCTION. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity and shall not invalidate the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement which shall
continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be interpreted using the
English language, which shall control in the event of any conflict of
interpretation. Headings of particular Sections are inserted only for
convenience and are not to be considered a part of this Agreement or be used to
define, limit or construe the scope of any term or provision of this Agreement.
Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the
parties agree that the court or arbitrators construing the same shall not apply
a presumption that the terms of this Agreement shall be more strictly construed
against one party than against another.

    13.8. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in more than one
counterpart and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original.

    13.9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including all attached Schedules,
constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in
reference to its subject matter and any and all previous agreements,
discussions, promises, representations, and understandings between the parties
relative thereto are merged herein and superseded hereby. Licensee represents
that it has not relied upon any representation of TRADEX in entering into this
Agreement, which is not expressly set forth in this written Agreement. Licensee
represents to TRADEX that any representation made by TRADEX to Licensee which is
not set forth herein is not material to Licensee.

    13.10. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. This Agreement does not create and shall
not be construed as creating any relationship of agency, partnership, or
employment between the parties. The parties enter this Agreement as, and shall
remain, independent parties and independent contractors. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, no party shall have the right or authority to
assume, create, or enlarge any obligation or commitment on behalf of any other,
and shall not represent itself as having the authority to bind any other in any
manner.

    13.11. RIGHTS ARE CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise limited herein, the rights
and remedies of the parties set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and are
in addition to all other rights and remedies (whether civil, criminal,
equitable, or otherwise) which they may have in law or in equity.

    13.12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its laws
governing conflicts of laws. The parties agree that the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply in
any respect to this Agreement or the parties. The parties agree that the
exclusive venue for all actions relating in any manner to this Agreement shall
only be in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in Fulton
County, Georgia. Each party consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of
such courts and irrevocably waives any and all defenses inconsistent with this
Section. The prevailing party in any dispute between the parties shall recover
its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

    13.13. EQUITABLE RELIEF. The parties also acknowledge that (i) any use or
threatened use of the Software, or (ii) any other misuse of the Proprietary
Information of either party will cause immediate irreparable harm to the
non-breaching party for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly,
the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to immediate
and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach. The parties hereby waive the
defense that the non-breaching party has or will have an adequate remedy at law
for any such breach or threatened breach. The parties agree and stipulate that
the non-breaching party shall be entitled to such injunctive relief without
posting a bond or other security; provided however that if the posting of a bond
is a prerequisite to obtaining injunctive relief, then a bond in the amount of
$1,000.00 shall be sufficient. Nothing contained herein shall limit either
party's right to any remedies at law, including the recovery of damages from the
other party for breach of this Agreement.

    13.14. THIS AGREEMENT CONTROLS. Notwithstanding the content of any purchase
order, sale order, sale confirmation or any other document relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement, this Agreement shall take precedence over any
such

TRADEX Software License Agreement v.2.0   5
Confidential
<PAGE>

document, and any conflicting, inconsistent, or additional terms contained
therein shall be null and void.

    13.15. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY RIGHTS. Except for the parties set forth
in Section 7.3, no provision of this Agreement is amended or shall be construed
to provide or create any third party beneficiary right or any other right of
any kind in any Third Party End User or any client, customer, affiliate,
insurer, lender, shareholder, partner, officer, director, employee or agent of
any party hereto, or in any other person.

                                   SCHEDULE A

                        APPROVED MARKET AND PAYMENT TERMS

                            (ANNUAL FIXED FEE MODEL)

A.    APPROVED MARKET

1.         A "Vertical Market" is defined in the terms of: (i) the segmented
      industry areas categorized by the North American Industrial
      Classification System (NAICS) code structure
      (http://www.census.gov/cpcd/naics/naicscod.txt), and (ii) the NAICS
      category of goods and services within a particular industry area. Each
      NAICS category of goods and services within a particular industry area
      constitute a separate Vertical Market. With the exception of the
      Manufacturing Sector (NAICS 31-33), the fist two digits of each six-digit
      NAICS code (NAICS Sector) will correspond to a separate Vertical Market.
      With respect to goods contained within the Manufacturing Sector, the
      first three digits of each six-digit NAICS code (NAICS Subsector) will
      correspond with a separate Vertical Market (see table below for
      illustration).

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                  NAICS        NAICS     DESCRIPTION
                  LEVEL        CODE
                 <S>          <C>       <C>
                  Sector       31-33     Manufacturing
                  Subsector    334       Computer and electronic
                                         product
</TABLE>

      In order to account for the possibility of incidental overlap from one
      Vertical Market to another Vertical Market, a Vertical Market will
      remain as a single Vertical Market so long as: (i) ninety (90) percent
      of the overall goods and services contained within the Vertical Market
      corresponds to the specified NAICS Sector (or a particular NAICS Subsector
      in the case of the Manufacturing Sector), and (ii) the balance of the
      products and services rationally relate to the goods and/or services
      contained in the NAICS Sector or Subsector making up the particular
      Vertical Market.

2.         Licensee's Approved Market shall be the Aerospace Industry Vertical
      Market which consists of the categories of goods and services contained
      within NAICS Code 3364.

      terminated. Licensee may terminate your limited license under this
      Agreement at any time without further obligation.

      TO THIRD PARTY END USERS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR THE

      ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF LICENSEE OR TRADEX TECHNOLOGIES,
      INC. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, AND
      NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
      THIS EXCLUSION INCLUDES ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF THIRD-PARTY
      CLAIMS AGAINST THIRD PARTY END USERS.

6.    Indemnity: Third Party End User shall indemnify, defend, and hold
      harmless Licensee, TRADEX Technologies and their employees, agents,
      successors, officers, and assigns, from any suits, losses, claims,
      demands, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney and
      accounting fees) that Licensee or TRADEX Technologies, Inc. may sustain
      or incur arising from (a) the Third Party End User's use of the
      Software, (b) the Third Party End User's failure to comply with any
      applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation those
      regarding the export of products or technology abroad) or to obtain any
      licenses or approvals from the appropriate government agencies necessary
      to purchase or sell the subject goods and services, or (c) the Third
      Party End User's breach of any of its obligations set forth in the

                                   SCHEDULE D

                       GOLD MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT PLAN

1.    DEFINITIONS.  In addition to the other terms defined elsewhere in
the Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a)   "Critical" shall mean a verifiable, reproducible condition that causes
the Software to halt, causing substantially reduced performance/throughput, or
substantially inhibits execution of an existing vital process.

(b)   "Error" shall mean a failure of the Software to perform in material
conformance with the applicable Documentation.

(c)   "Response" shall mean that TRADEX begins working on resolution of the
Error.

(d)   "Serious" shall mean a verifiable, reproducible condition that causes
an initial degradation in performance/throughput, and creates a high risk
condition leading to reduced Software performance or loss of a vital process.

2.    GOLD SUPPORT:  Gold Support shall entitle Licensee to the Support
Services set forth below. TRADEX will use commercially reasonable efforts to
correct any Critical or Serious Errors.

3.    8 X 5 SUPPORT.  When requiring Support Services at any time other than
normal working hours 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST, Licensee should use the TRADEX
support pager number of 1-888-914-1571 and leave a phone number where they
can be contacted. During normal hours, Licensee should contact the TRADEX
Help Desk to report all support issues. TRADEX Help Desk will be the contact
point of Support Services for Licensee. TRADEX Help Desk associates will
escalate any Support Services issues internally that cannot be resolved upon
the initial call.

4.    FIRST PRIORITY SERVER SUPPORT.  TRADEX shall undertake commercially
reasonable efforts to provide an Initial Response to Licensee within a
reasonable period of time. Responses may be delivered by e-mail, fax and/or
telephone. TRADEX may also request Licensee to provide additional information
as part of the initial TRADEX Response.

5.    ACCESS TO BETA SOFTWARE PRODUCTS.  Subject to Licensee's execution of
any beta license agreement that TRADEX may require, TRADEX will offer to
Licensee any generally available beta versions of the Software (including
major Upgrades).  TRADEX reserves the right to charge its then-current hourly
rate for professional services preformed at Licensee's request for
installation, integration, data cut-over or other services to accomplish
migration from one version/release to another.  Licensee shall have the right
to decline beta testing of new software products.

6.    UPGRADES AND UPDATES.  Subject to the terms of the Agreement, TRADEX
will make Updates and Upgrades made generally available at no further cost
during the periods in which Licensee is entitled to receive the Support
Services. TRADEX reserves the right to charge additional License Fees for any
Upgrades to existing Software which incorporate significant new features or
functionality of the Software licensed from or contributed by third parties,
as determined by TRADEX in its sole discretion. This provision shall not
constitute a requirement that TRADEX develop or otherwise make available any
Updates or Upgrades.

7.    CONDITIONS OF SUPPORT:  Licensee's right to obtain Support Services are
conditioned on adherence to the following terms and conditions.

(a)   Licensee shall provide a first line of support to its Users. Licensee
shall assign internal support persons to act as Support Service liaisons
("Liaisons") with TRADEX. All Support Service calls from Licensee shall be
directed through the Liaisons. Licensee may change its Liaisons, at no
additional charge, by notifying TRADEX either via e-mail or fax of such change
forty-eight (48) hours in advance.

(b)   In the event an Error requiring technical support cannot be resolved by
telephone, e-mail or facsimile in a reasonable time, Licensee and TRADEX will
jointly develop and implement a resolution plan. This plan may require the
payment of fees to TRADEX for off-plan man-hours and reimbursement of
reasonable, documented travel expenses for TRADEX personnel involved.

(c)   TRADEX shall not be liable for supporting problems or issues arising
solely from system abnormalities or other software applications used in
conjunction with or resident on the same computer hardware on which the
TRADEX Software resides ("Equipment").

(d)   TRADEX requires Licensee to segregate TRADEX software from other
applications which Licensee may be supporting. This segregation should
include but not be limited to establishing different instances of the
database for each application and separating RAID array functionality.

(e)   In the event that TRADEX, at the request of Licensee, provides support
for a problem which is ultimately determined to have been a problem for which
TRADEX is not liable for providing Support Services, then Licensee shall
compensate TRADEX for time spent resolving the problem at TRADEX's
then-current hourly rate for professional services.

(f)   TRADEX's obligation to provide Support Services shall not apply to
Software that was released more than one year before the then most current
Upgrade of the Software, unless the version number of the installed Software
is within one decimal versions of the then most current Upgrade of the
Software.

(g)   Licensee agrees to promptly notify TRADEX of the change of location of
the equipment upon which any of the Software covered by this Agreement
resides. TRADEX reserves the right to adjust the monthly charges if the move
is likely to materially change the cost of providing Support Services
hereunder.

(h)   TRADEX will not be under any obligation to provide Support Services:
(i) for any modifications, extensions or customizations to the Software not
performed or provided by TRADEX, (ii) if the Software is used in violation of
the Agreement or most current Documentation, or (ii) if the equipment on
which the Software resides ("Equipment") contains application software not
provided, authorized or recommended by TRADEX.

(i)   In no event is TRADEX required to provide Support Services due to: (i)
causes beyond TRADEX's reasonable control, or (ii) the acts or omissions of
Licensee or other third parties.

(j)   Licensee will give TRADEX Access (defined below) to a server outside of
Licensee's environment which is running an

<PAGE>

exact copy of the current Software running within Licensee's environment.
"Access" means remote access including but not limited to a browser log-on
with all permissions, database root access via the database port and direct
access to the web server to view any relevant Java code.

(k)   TRADEX shall not be obligated to provide Support Services in the event
of a discontinuation by Licensee of Support Services or gaps in the Support
Services resulting from non-payment by Licensee.

(l)   Response times shall be measured in U.S. business hours.

8.    SUPPORT FEES AND PAYMENT:  TRADEX will provide Licensee the Support
Services on fiscal year increments (based on the Effective Date). Licensee
will pay the first year of Support Services as set forth in Schedule A to the
Agreement. TRADEX will invoice Licensee for the next year's Support Services
before the current Support period is scheduled to expire. Support Services
shall terminate unless Licensee pays TRADEX's then-current fees within thirty
(30) days of the invoice date. Support Services Fees are based on the
continuous contracting for support for the Software. Reinstatement of Support
Services will be subject to TRADEX's then-current policies and applicable
Fees regarding reinstatement. TRADEX reserves the right to modify its
Support Service policies and Fees from time to time.

9.    TERMINATION:  Either party may terminate the Support Services if the
other party commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy
such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such
