agrees to perform for the Company the services specified on Exhibit A of this Agreement
(collectively, the "Services"). 

    (b) The
Company agrees to pay Consultant the compensation specified in Exhibit B of this Agreement. 

2. CONFIDENTIALITY.

    (a) "Confidential
Information" means any Company or any of the Company's clients', as the case may be, non-public or proprietary information, technical
data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customers, customer lists, markets, software, developments, inventions,
processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed by the Company or learned by
Consultant, either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. 

    (b) Consultant
will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, (i) use the Company's Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than
the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company, or (ii) disclose the Company's Confidential Information to any third party. It is understood that, as between the parties, said
Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the Company. Consultant further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized
disclosure of such Confidential Information including, but not limited to, having each employee of Consultant, if any, with access to any Confidential Information, execute a nondisclosure agreement
containing provisions in the Company's favor substantially similar to Sections 2, 3 and 5 of this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information which (i) is known to
Consultant at the time of disclosure to Consultant by the Company as evidenced by written records of Consultant, (ii) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful
act of Consultant, or (iii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure. Without the Company's prior written approval, Consultant
will not directly or indirectly disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement or the fact that Consultant has this arrangement with the Company. 

    (c) Consultant
agrees that Consultant will not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former
or current employer or other person or entity with which Consultant has any agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant, and that Consultant will not bring onto the
premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such employer, person or entity unless first consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.
Consultant will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in
connection with any violation or claimed violation of a third party's rights resulting in whole or in part from the Company's use of the work product of Consultant under this Agreement. 

    (d) Consultant
recognizes that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a
duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. 

Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the
strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company's agreement
with such third party. 

    (e) Upon
the termination of this Agreement, or upon Company's earlier request, Consultant will deliver to the Company all of the Company's property or Confidential
Information in tangible form that Consultant may have in Consultant's possession or control, along with a statement, signed by an officer of Consultant, certifying that all such Company property or
Confidential Information has been delivered to Company. 

3. OWNERSHIP.

    (a) Consultant
agrees that all material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets (collectively,
"Inventions") conceived, made or discovered by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of this Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of the Company that
Consultant may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with, or which Consultant may become associated with in work, investigation or experimentation in the line of business of Company in
performing the Services hereunder, whether or not copyrightable or patentable, and whether or not reduced to practice, are the sole property of the Company. In addition, any Inventions which
constitute copyrightable subject matter shall, to the maximum extent possible, be considered "works made for hire" as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. Consultant hereby assigns
and agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) to the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions, including, without limitation, any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other
intellectual property rights of any kind in and to the Inventions or any portion thereof. Consultant irrevocably waives any moral rights that may be applicable to the Inventions. 

    (b) Consultant
agrees to assist Company, or its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way to secure the Company's rights in the Inventions and any
copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data
with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such
rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to the Inventions, and any copyrights, patents,
mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant's obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Consultant's power to
do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. 

    (c) Consultant
agrees that if in the course of performing the Services, Consultant incorporates into any Invention developed hereunder any invention, improvement,
development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information owned by Consultant or in which Consultant has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive,
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license, with right of sublicense, to make, have made, modify, display, perform, distribute, use and sell such item as part of or in
connection with such Invention. 

    (d) Consultant
agrees that if the Company is unable because of Consultant's unavailability, dissolution, mental or physical incapacity, or for any other reason, to
secure Consultant's signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company
above, then Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant's agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Consultant's
behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations thereon
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. 

4. REPORTS. Consultant agrees that it will from time to time during the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof keep the Company advised as to
Consultant's progress in performing the Services hereunder and that Consultant will, as requested by the Company, prepare written reports with respect thereto. It is understood that the time required
in the preparation of such written reports shall be considered time devoted to the performance of Consultant's Services. 

5. CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS.

    (a) Consultant
represents and warrants to Company that (i) Consultant has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions
of this Agreement, or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions hereof, and (ii) that Consultant will not enter into any such conflicting agreement during the term of
this Agreement. 

    (b) In
view of Consultant's access to the Company's trade secrets and proprietary know-how, Consultant further agrees that Consultant will not, without
Company's prior written consent, design identical or substantially similar designs as those developed under this Agreement for any third party during the term of this Agreement and for a period of
twelve (12) months after the termination of this Agreement. 

6. TERM AND TERMINATION.

    (a) The
initial term of this Agreement shall be six (6) months, commencing on February 1, 2001 and continuing through and including July 31, 2001
(the "Initial Term"), and shall continue month to month thereafter, until terminated by the Company or the Consultant as provided in section 6(b) below. 

    (b) Upon
expiration of the Initial Term, either the Company or Consultant may terminate this Agreement upon giving the other party thirty (30) days' prior
written notice thereof. Any such notice to the Company or to Consultant shall be delivered to the address shown below or such other address as either party may notify the other of and shall be deemed
given upon delivery if personally delivered, or forty-eight (48) hours after deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice if Consultant refuses to or is unable to perform the
Services, or if Consultant is in breach of any material provision of this Agreement. 

    (c) Upon
such termination all rights and duties of the parties toward each other shall cease except: 

     (i) that
the Company shall be obliged to pay, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination, all amounts owing to Consultant for unpaid Services
performed prior to the effective termination date, and any related out-of-pocket expenses, if any, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(b); and 

    (ii) Sections
2 (Confidentiality), 3 (Ownership), 7 (Indemnification) and 8 (Independent Contractors) shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

7. INDEMNIFICATION. Consultant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any
and all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) any breach or failure of Consultant under this Agreement, (b) any
negligence of Consultant or Consultant's subcontractors or suppliers (if any) under or in connection with any activities or deliverables hereunder; (c) any breach of the representations and
warranties made by Consultant under this Agreement; or (d) any infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right by any
work done or material provided or other activity or item performed, created or furnished by Consultant under this Agreement. 

8. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder or interest herein may be assigned or transferred by Consultant without the express
written consent of the Company. 

9. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be construed to appoint Consultant as an agent, employee or representative of the
Company, but Consultant shall perform the Services hereunder as an independent contractor. Consultant agrees to furnish (or reimburse the Company for) all tools and materials necessary to accomplish
this contract, and shall incur all expenses associated with performance, except as expressly provided on Exhibit A of this Agreement. Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is obligated to report as income all compensation received by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement, and Consultant agrees to and acknowledges the obligation to
pay all self-employment and other taxes thereon. Consultant further agrees to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless to the extent of any obligation imposed on Company (i) to
pay in withholding taxes or similar items or (ii) resulting from Consultant's being determined not to be an independent contractor. 

10. ARBITRATION AND EQUITABLE RELIEF.

    (a) Except
as provided in Section 10(b) below, any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Services/Endispute to be conducted in Walnut Creek, California (hereinafter "JAMS"). A single arbitrator shall be selected according to the rules of JAMS then in effect
within thirty (30) days of submission of the dispute to JAMS. The arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration in accordance with the California Evidence Code. The arbitrator may grant injunctions
or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's
decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company and Consultant shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each shall separately pay its
respective counsel fees and expenses. 

    (b) Consultant
agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Company's damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 2
or 3 herein. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that if Consultant breaches Sections 2 or 3, the Company will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain from
any court of competent jurisdiction an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and specific performance of any such provision. Consultant further agrees that no bond or other security
shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Consultant hereby consents to the issuances of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance. 

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws. 

12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes any prior agreements between them with respect to the subject
matter hereof. 

13. EXECUTION. This Agreement shall not be binding on either party until both parties have executed this Agreement.

     warrants that any and all information supplied hereunder to Catalyst in
     connection with any and all services to be performed hereunder by Catalyst
     for and on behalf of 4net Software shall be, to the best of 4net Software's
     knowledge, true, complete and correct as of the date of such dissemination
     and shall not fail to state a material fact necessary to make any of such
     information not misleading. 4net Software hereby acknowledges that the
     ability of Catalyst to adequately provide services as described herein is
     dependent upon the prompt dissemination of accurate, correct and complete
     information to Catalyst. 4net Software further represents and warrants
     hereunder that this Agreement has been, or will be, duly and validly
     authorized by all requisite corporate action; that 4net Software has the
     full right, power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its
     obligations hereunder; and that this Agreement, upon execution and delivery
     of the same by 4net Software, will represent the valid and binding
     obligation of 4net Software and shall be enforceable by Catalyst in
     accordance with its terms. The representations and warranties set forth
     herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     6. Indemnification.

     (a) 4net Software hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
     Catalyst, its officers, directors, principals, employees, partners,
     consultants, affiliates, and shareholders, and their successors and assigns
     from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liability,
     deficiencies, actions, suits or proceedings (collectively the "Losses")
     arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach of a representation, or
     warranty by 4net Software contained in this Agreement; or (ii) any
     activities or services performed hereunder by Catalyst, unless such Losses
     were the result of the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of
     Catalyst or were the result of any information supplied by Catalyst; or
     (iii) any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and
     paralegals' fees) related to the foregoing, and as more fully described
     below. Catalyst hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless 4net
     Software, and its officers, directors and shareholders, and their
     successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses arising out of
     or resulting from (i) the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of
     Catalyst, unless such Losses were the result of any information supplied by
     4net Software; or (ii) any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
     attorneys' and paralegals' fees) related to the foregoing, and as more
     fully described below.

     (b) If Catalyst or 4net Software (in each case, the "Indemnified Party")
     receives written notice of the commencement of any legal action, suit or
     proceeding with respect to which 4net Software or Catalyst (in each case,
     the "Indemnifying Party") is or may be obligated to provide indemnification
     pursuant to this Section 7, the Indemnified party shall, within thirty (30)
     days of the receipt of such written notice, give the Indemnifying Party
     written notice thereof (a "Claim Notice"). Failure to give such Claim
     Notice within

<PAGE>

     such thirty (30) day period shall not constitute a waiver by the
     Indemnified Party of its right to indemnity hereunder with respect to such
     action, suit or proceeding if the Indemnifying Party is not materially
     adversely affected by such delay. Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of
     a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for
     indemnification which is based upon a claim made by a third party ("Third
     Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of the Third
     Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, as described below. The
     Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified party shall cooperate with each
     other in the defense of the Third Party Claim and shall furnish such
     records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences,
     discovery proceedings, hearings, trial and appeals as may be reasonably
     required in connection therewith. The Indemnified Party shall have the
     right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and
     expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party
     unless the Indemnifying Party shall not have promptly employed counsel to
     assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees and
     expenses shall be borne solely by Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying
     Party shall not satisfy or settle any Third Party Claim for which
     indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder, without the
     prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such claim can be
     settled entirely for cash and the Indemnified Party shall be given a full
     release from all parties in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party
     shall fail with reasonable promptness either to defend such Third Party
     Claim or to satisfy or settle the same, the Indemnified Party may defend,
     satisfy or settle the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying
     Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the
     amount of any such Loss within ten (10) days after written demand
     therefore. The indemnification provisions hereunder shall survive the
     termination of this Agreement.

     7. Confidentiality. Catalyst agrees that all non-public information
     pertaining to the prior, current or contemplated business of 4net Software
     are valuable and confidential assets of 4net Software. Such information
     shall include, without limitation, information relating to customer lists,
     bidding procedures, intellectual property, patents, trademarks, trade
     secrets, financing techniques and sources and such financial statements of
     4net Software as are not available to the public. Catalyst, its officers,
     directors, employees, agents and shareholders shall hold all such
     information in trust and confidence for 4net Software and shall not use or
     disclose any such information for other than the benefit of 4net Software's
     business and shall be liable for damages incurred by 4net Software as a
     result of the use or disclosure of such information by Catalyst, its
     officers, directors, employees, agents or shareholders for any purpose
     other than the benefit of 4net Software's business, either during the term
     of the attached Agreement or after the termination or expiration thereof,
     except (i) where such information is publicly available or later becomes
     publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement, or (ii)
     where such information is subsequently lawfully obtained by Catalyst from a
     third party or parties who are not under an obligation of confidentiality
     to 4net Software, or (iii) if such information is known to Catalyst prior
     to the execution of this Agreement, or (iv) as may be required by law.
     These confidentiality obligations shall service termination of this
     Agreement.

     8. Independent Contractor. It is expressly understood and agreed that
     Catalyst shall, at all times, act as an independent contractor with respect
     to 4net Software and not as an employee or agent of 4net Software, and
     nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a joint
     venture, partnership, association or other affiliation, or like
     relationship, between the parties. It is specifically agreed that the
     relationship is and shall remain that of independent parties to a
     contractual relationship and that Catalyst shall have no right to bind 4net
     Software in any manner. In no event shall either party be liable for the
     debts or obligations of the other except as otherwise specifically provided
     in this Agreement.

     9. Amendment. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of
     this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is evidence by a written
     instrument, executed by the party against which such modification, waiver,
     amendment, discharge or change is sought.

     10. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications given hereunder
     shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
     delivered in person or transmitted by facsimile transmission or on the
     third calendar day after being mailed by the United States registered or
     certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the addresses
     herein above first mentioned or to such other address as any party hereto
     shall designate to the other for such purpose in the manner hereinafter set
     forth.

<PAGE>

     11. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any
     provision or provisions of this Agreement will not affect any other
     provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect,
     not will the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a portion of any
     provision of this Agreement affect the balance of such provision. In the
     event that nay one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or
