(b) Company's Use of Confidential Information. Company agrees: (i) that it will
only use the Confidential Information for the purpose of performing the

less care in maintaining the security thereof as it does with respect to its own
confidential and proprietary information, but in no event will Company exercise
less than reasonable care to maintain the security of such information; (iii)
that only those Personnel having a "need-to-know" solely in connection with
performance of the Services, who are under contractual obligations of
confidentiality consistent with and at least equivalent to those assumed by
Company hereunder, and who will hold such information in strict confidence,
shall have access to the Confidential Information; and (iv) that disclosure of
the Confidential Information does not confer upon Company any license, interest,
or rights of any kind in or to such information.

and nondisclosure shall not apply to information that: (i) was already known to
Company at the time of disclosure without restriction or breach of any

protective order to prevent or limit disclosure).

(d) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination or expiration of
any Statement of Work, Company shall return all Confidential Information
relating to such Statement of Work then in its possession which is in written,
graphic or other tangible form and shall delete all Confidential Information in
electronic form, and shall provide DTCC with a written statement certifying that
this has been accomplished.

(e) Nonpublic Personal Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent Nonpublic Personal Information is, either intentionally
or

                                  Page 2 of 13
<PAGE>

unintentionally, disclosed to or obtained by Company in connection with the
matters contemplated by this Agreement, Company covenants to keep such Nonpublic
Personal Information strictly confidential and shall use and process such
Nonpublic Personal Information solely for the purposes of carrying out its
obligations under, and as expressly set forth in, this Agreement or as otherwise
expressly directed in writing by DTCC and not for any other purposes. Company
shall maintain an effective information security program and take appropriate
administrative, technical and physical measures to secure and protect such

reasonable request of DTCC, (i) provide DTCC with information regarding its
privacy/data protection practices, (ii) provide DTCC with information relating
to those of its business locations from which Services under the Agreement are
performed regarding the results of any audits or tests performed which relate to

particularly described in Section 15 hereof. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, on or before the date this Agreement is executed and annually

         and otherwise) that describes Company's control policies and
         procedures, including, without limitation, its security and compliance
         programs, that have been initiated and are then functioning at all
         locations from which Company shall be performing the Services, which
         report must contain statements on the operating effectiveness of those
         policies and procedures with respect to the Services (unless otherwise
         specified by DTCC, a Type II SAS 70 Report, as described in the then
         current Statement of Auditing Standard 70 of the American Institute of
         Certified Public Accounts and a BS7799 certification shall be
         acceptable types of audit reports),

         (ii) a SysTrust report,

         (iii) a TrueSecure certification,

         (iv) a completed DTCC-provided survey regarding information protection

         priorities, and

         (vii) a completed information security questionnaire provided by DTCC.

                  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Nonpublic Personal
         Information" is defined as (i) any "nonpublic personal information" as
         such term is defined under the Title V of the U.S. Gramm-Leach-Bliley
         Act, 15 U.S.C. ss. 6801 et seq., and the rules and regulations issued
         thereunder; (ii) any information that can specifically identify an
         individual, such as name, address, social security

                                  Page 3 of 13
<PAGE>

         number, etc., together with any other information that relates to an
         individual who has been so identified; or (iii) any other information
         classified as the most sensitive information in DTCC's data
         classification standards (such information being currently referred to
         as "DTCC Restricted" information).

                  For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "Related
         Companies" means the direct and indirect subsidiaries of DTCC, and its
         and their affiliates as well as a joint venture of DTCC.

                  Company further agrees that:

         (i) it shall promptly notify DTCC when it becomes aware of any
         unauthorized access of such Nonpublic Personal Information and shall
         promptly implement necessary corrective actions. Such corrective
         actions shall include: (a) performing an analysis to determine the
         cause of the security breach, (b) providing DTCC with a report
         detailing the cause of the security breach and the material disclosed,
         (c) promptly remedying the security breach, (d) assisting DTCC in its
         efforts to retrieve the material and mitigate the effects of the
         unauthorized access, and (e) cooperating fully with DTCC and its
         designees and with any civil or criminal authority in any investigation
         or action relating to such unauthorized access;

         (ii) it shall promptly notify DTCC if it becomes the subject of any
         government, other enforcement or private proceeding relating to its
         data handling practices;

         (iii) it shall use and process such Nonpublic Personal Information in
         accordance with applicable privacy and data protection legislation, and
         in the case of any legal or regulatory obligation to disclose such
         Nonpublic Personal Information, it shall notify and co-operate with
         DTCC, limit any disclosure to the minimum required by law and, to the
         extent possible, request that such information be kept confidential;
         and

         (iv) it shall not, except as explicitly agreed to in writing by DTCC,
         under any arrangement established under this Agreement collect any
         Nonpublic Personal Information on DTCC employees or clients from any
         cookies, applets, Web bug or beacons or similar technologies.

         Nothing in this Section 5 hereof shall affect any data or information
         that Company validly receives from a source apart from (i) this
         Agreement or (ii) the relationship established pursuant to this
         Agreement, nor affect Company's rights to use such data or information,
         provided that if Company receives any such data or information that is
         identical to any Nonpublic Personal Information that is delivered or
         made available to Company under or pursuant to this Agreement, then
         that fact shall in no way diminish Company's obligations to keep the
         Nonpublic Personal Information so provided by DTCC secure. For
         avoidance of doubt, and as an example only, if Company receives a name
         and SSN from DTCC and also receives an identical name and SSN from a
         third party not acting on behalf of DTCC, then this Agreement does not
         affect in any way how Company handles or uses the information received
         from the third party, but Company still must keep the data received
         from DTCC secure under this Agreement.

         (f) Security and Data Protection. Company agrees that:

         Company shall maintain an effective information security program and
take appropriate administrative, technical and physical measures to secure and
protect information received or created by it pursuant to this Agreement against
unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, disclosure, transfer, destruction,
loss or alteration, which procedures and measures are in compliance with
commercially reasonable industry standards;

         Company will comply at its expense with all legal and/or regulatory
requirements applicable to it regarding security and data protection;

         Company will comply with DTCC's information security policies,
including, without limitation, DTCC's data classification standards, DTCC's
Standards and Guidelines, and DTCC's Company management program requirements;

         Company shall, upon the reasonable request of DTCC, (i) provide DTCC
with information regarding its privacy/data protection practices, (ii) provide
DTCC with information relating to those of its business locations from which
Services under this Agreement are performed regarding the results of any audits
or tests performed which relate to the security of information, and (iii) shall
allow DTCC reasonable access to audit compliance by Company with this provision
as more particularly described in Section 15 hereof,

         Company shall notify DTCC immediately if it suspects, reasonably
believes or becomes aware of the existence of any Destructive Elements (as
defined in Section 12(d) hereof) in the Services and/or deliverables. Company
shall also notify DTCC immediately if it identifies any elements of the Services
and/or deliverables that would make such Services and/or deliverables
susceptible to known Viruses (as defined in Section 12(d) hereof) or Viruses
Company comes to know of. DTCC will not access, and will not permit unauthorized
persons or entities to access DTCC computing systems and/or networks without
DTCC's express written authorization and any such actual or attempted access
shall be consistent with any such authorization. All Company connectivity to
DTCC computing systems and/or networks and all attempts at same shall be only
through DTCC's security gateways/firewalls and only through DTCC-approved
security procedures. Company will use an anti-Virus program approved by DTCC
[recognized in the financial services industry as being acceptable to detect and
prevent viruses] prior to any attempt to access any of DTCC's computing systems
and/or networks and upon detecting a Virus, all attempts to access DTCC's
computing systems and/or networks shall immediately cease and shall not resume
until any such Virus has been eliminated; and

         Company shall take reasonable steps to avoid the corruption, loss or
mis-transmission of data and to ensure the security of data during transmission
and storage, including the use of data encryption techniques in accordance with
commercially reasonable industry standards subject, however, to Section 12(e)
hereof (Export).

         (g) Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that monetary damages may
not be an adequate remedy for breach of the provisions of this Section 5.
Therefore, DTCC shall have the right (in addition to its other rights hereunder)
to a temporary restraining order, injunctive relief, or other equitable relief
to remedy or prevent a breach.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This defines the scope of work to be accomplished by BRIDGELINE Software, Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as "BRIDGELINE") and for Nomura Securities
International, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Nomura") under the terms and
conditions of the Master Service Agreement dated February 6, 2001.

BRIDGELINE has developed Nomura's Internet Website's WWW.NOMURAFIXEDINCOME.COM,
the Nomura Derivatives intranet and WWW.NOMURAREALESTATE.COM (each referred to
as "Site" herein and collectively as "Sites"). Nomura has now elected to have
BRIDGELINE provide maintenance and support services as set forth within this
Statement of Work ("SOW") to maintain all of these Sites as well as perform
ongoing maintenance and upgrades to any and all of Nomura systems. BRIDGELINE's
employees have a vast array of skills that include creative Web design, print
design, branding, interface development, database administrators, application
engineers with a vast degree of differing technology, marketing support,
Internet strategy, and systems engineers. BRIDGELINE's people are constantly on
top of the latest technology, as well as the fastest way to implement solutions.
Our people are extremely efficient, and we are quite certain that we can deliver
quicker and more effective results than most internal teams. In addition,
BRIDGELINE offers Nomura access to such varied and much needed resources that
would be extremely expensive to replicate in-house.

Changes to this scope of work will be processed in accordance with the procedure
described in the "PROJECT CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURE" of this Statement of Work -
see Appendix A.

PROJECT SCOPE

The scope of this project is for BRIDGELINE to maintain and provide services and
support in connection with the maintenance of all Nomura Websites, intranets,
extranets, etc. Maintenance includes changes to content, design, navigation, and
functionality and features of the sites as requested by Nomura.

BRIDGELINE WILL SUPPLY THE FOLLOWING:

o    Project Management for overall responsibility for timely and accurate
     performance of all Request Orders to be completed by BRIDGELINE for Nomura.
     BRIDGELINE will have weekly status meetings with Nomura to inform them of
     work to date as well as provided a summary of hours used and remaining
     during that current month.

o    Reserved Resources for on going changes and maintenance to the Nomura sites
     as set forth within this Statement of Work under the RESERVED RESOURCES
     section. These resources are intended to give Nomura a rapid response to
     Request Orders. Request Orders that exceed the Reserved Resources may
     require additional planning but will be provided as expeditiously as
     possible.

o    All deliverables and work required in any Request Order.

o    Training, assistance and cooperation to Nomura (including the necessary
     support for Nomura to perform Nomura's responsibilities as set forth below
     in the NOMURA'S RESPONSIBILITIES section of this Statement of Work) and
     other assistance as is reasonably required by Nomura.

                                                                          Page 3

       BRIDGELINE
Quality Internet Solutions

---------------------------

BRIDGELINE WILL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES FOR GENERAL UPDATES/CHANGES TO
THE SITE:

o    General updates and/or changes to the Site will be completed between the
     normal business hours of 9am to 6pm, Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
     The timing of each modification and/or change requested by Nomura shall be
     mutually agreed to prior to BRIDGELINE's performance of any Request Order
     issued hereunder. Nomura will have the cell phone number of two different
     people assigned to Nomura so that BRIDGELINE can be reached in case of an
     emergency within Nomura.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

THE FOLLOWING ASSUMPTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE WORK TO BE
PERFORMED AND DELIVERABLES TO BE COMPLETED UNDER THIS SOW. THE ESTIMATES AND
SCHEDULES FOR THE SOW ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING ASSUMPTIONS:

o    Requests for work/deliverables under the SOW will be sent via email or
     via a written request order (in either case, a "Request Order") by Nomura
     per the REQUEST ORDERS PROCESS section of this Statement of Work. Unless
     such e-mail or written request is an automated notification, Request Orders
     will include a detailed description of the work or deliverable(s) needed
     and the timeframe for completion and delivery thereof.

o    Work that exceeds the Reserved Resources (as identified in the RESERVED
     RESOURCES section of this Statement of Work) will be billed at Nomura's
     discounted rate of $100 per hour with execution of this agreement.
     BRIDGELINE will notify Nomura on weekly basis of hours used and remaining
     within that current month. BRIDGELINE will make every attempt to notify
     Nomura of any request that may take them over their monthly hour allotment.

o    Maintenance work will adhere to project specs stated in the original Site
     design. If Nomura's needs fall outside of the compatibility of these specs
     or if there are additional considerations, Nomura will notify BRIDGELINE
     prior to issuing a Request Order under this Statement of Work.

o    Nomura will provide one contact from each business unit (i.e. Fixed Income,
     NDPI, & Corporate) for BRIDGELINE that will direct BRIDGELINE's "monthly
     work performed". Nomura is estimating that Fixed Income will utilize one
     hundred (100) hours, NDPI fifty( 50) hours and Nomura Corporate fifty (50)
     hours per month of the two hundred (200) hour allotment. Each business unit
     is not bound to these exact hours and they may be shared amongst business
     units as needed. BRIDGELINE will hold one mandatory meeting per week with
     Nomura to review the present week's goals and objectives to help support
     Nomura. This contact will be able to approve all BRIDGELINE work performed
     and provide adequate feedback.

o    BRIDGELINE will supply hour estimates to Nomura for any work requested by
     Nomura. BRIDGELINE will make every possible attempt to notify Nomura as
     soon as reasonably possible that the initial hour estimates will be
     exceeded.

o    No individual Request Order shall exceed an anticipated two hundred (200)
     hours per month of BRIDGELINE time. If a Request Order is anticipated to
     exceed 200 hours in a month, then a separate Statement of Work shall be
     developed stating the scope, timing, and compensation terms under which
     that engagement shall be executed.

                                                                          Page 4

       BRIDGELINE

---------------------------

o    BRIDGELINE will provide Nomura a free license to its proprietary content
     management software NetEditor. This license does not include integration
     fees. Integration fees vary depending on the complexity of the website.

o    BRIDGELINE will provide proper documentation for any future development
     performed on any Nomura systems or websites. Proper documentation will be
     agreed upon by both parties before development is initiated.

o    Any code developed for Nomura Securities will be property of Nomura
     Securities exclusive of intermediate and layered Photoshop files. Any work
     developed for Nomura will not be utilized for any other BRIDGELINE clients.

o    All modifications performed to any system by either Nomura or BRIDGELINE
     will be communicated to either party via email.

NOMURA'S RESPONSIBILITIES

o    Nomura will provide content research, writing, editorial review and
     approval, and other technical and data requirements. Nomura is responsible
     for the aggregation and delivery of content to BRIDGELINE for updates to
     the Site.

o    Nomura will provide BRIDGELINE with necessary access to its server
     (provided that BRIDGELINE agrees to comply with any and all security or
     other guidelines or procedures provided by Nomura).

o    Nomura will provide one contact per business unit for BRIDGELINE that will
     direct BRIDGELINE's "monthly work performed". BRIDGELINE will hold one
     mandatory meeting per week with Nomura to review the present week's goals
     and objectives to help support Nomura. This contact will be able to approve
     all BRIDGELINE work performed and provide adequate feedback.

o    Nomura staff will be reasonably available for questions and issues for the
     duration of the project. Extended response times may impact the overall
     development and delivery schedule.

basis at Nomura's discounted rate of $100 per hour. This estimate does not
include expenses for couriers and materials, licensing and fees for Nomura,
printing fees, stock photography, equipment for Nomura, third-party services,
any travel-related expenses or state and local taxes.

The monthly retainer fee will include two hundred hours per month of work at
$20,000 per month. These hours will be pre-booked for a period of one year. Any
hours covered under this agreement that are not used within the month they are
allocated will be considered forfeited, unless mutually agreed upon by both
parties in writing or via email.

Invoices will be generated on the first day of each month. The first month of
work will be billed in advance on a pro rated basis.

PAYMENT

Monthly payments shall be made on the first day of each monthly period (i.e. the
payment for June 1st - June 30th is due June 1st). If additional resources are
utilized during the monthly cycle these hours will be invoiced at the end of the
month on a thirty (30) day payment basis. Violation of these payment terms shall
relieve BRIDGELINE of its response obligations under this Statement of Work.

TERMS

This SOW is a one (1) year agreement but may be extended on a monthly basis by
approval of both parties (E-mail correspondence will be considered a valid
approval method for extension of this Statement of Work). This agreement may be
cancelled with 30 days written notice for performance reasons only. If
BRIDGELINE fails to meet its objectives and deliverables stated in this
Statement of Work than Nomura must give BRIDGELINE 30 days written notice to
inform them of their desire to cancel or amend this agreement.

APPENDIX A

PROJECT CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURE

This Statement of Work may be modified or amended via electronic mail approval
from Nomura and BRIDGELINE or by a written change order (in either case, a
"Change Order") signed by an authorized representative of both Parties. If
Nomura requests or BRIDGELINE recommends changes during performance of a
Statement of Work, then within five (5) business days of such request or
recommendation, BRIDGELINE will provide to Nomura a written or an electronic
proposal (in either case, the "Change Order Proposal") setting forth (a) a
description of the proposed change(s), (b) impact on Statement of Work Price (if
any), (c) impact on the Production Schedule (if any) and (d) a revised Statement
of Work if necessary. Nomura may, at its sole discretion, accept or reject the
Change Order Proposal. A Change Order Proposal will be considered rejected if
Nomura does not respond to the proposal within ten (10) business days from the
date the Change Order Proposal is received by Nomura. If accepted, a Change
Order Proposal will become effective only upon execution by both Parties.

                                                                          Page 8
