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

          C&C shall contribute to JN's marketing and promotion of moissanite,

     that are approved pursuant to Paragraph 13, sub-paragraphs a, b, c, & d of
     this agreement.

     JN specifically warrants that it will not make any oral or written
     statement to any person, or in any marketing and/or promotional materials
     of any kind, that disparages or brings into ill repute moissanite jewels
     whether sold by JN, C&C or any other company or individual. In addition JN
     will not make any oral or written statement that moissanite sold by JN is
     better in quality, in any form, than moissanite sold by any other company
     or individual.

     of like volume. This pricing is subject to change at the sole discretion of

     production practices. The grade of the moissanite jewels will be "Very

     customers of like circumstance and volume. This pricing is subject to
     change at the sole discretion of C&C upon 90 days written notice. During
     the Term of the Agreement, JN will receive the opportunity of any general
     price reductions. At the effective date of a price reduction, JN will
     receive a credit against future orders for the price difference between the
     price in effect immediately preceding the price reduction, and the reduced

     defend at its own expense any suit or proceeding against JN by third
     parties for trademark infringement arising out of JN's use of the

     provisions of the Agreement shall remain in effect. This Agreement may be
     executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an
     original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
     instrument.

     20.  ASSIGNABILITY.
          -------------

     Neither party shall have the right to assign, delegate, sub-license or
     otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement except
     with the prior written consent of the other party. Any attempted assignment
     or sub-license by JN without C&C's prior written consent shall be void and
     of no force and effect, and shall constitute a material breach of this
     Agreement. However, JN may at its sole discretion elect to use
     sub-contractors, designers, etc. This in no way reduces or negates JN's
     rights or responsibilities to C&C.

     instrument executed by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either
     party to require performance of any provision of this Agreement or to

negotiate in good faith to replace any such illegal or unenforceable provision
or provisions with suitable substitute provisions which will maintain the
economic purposes and intentions of this Agreement.

14.    SURVIVAL

                          SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT
                          ----------------------------

     THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is entered into as of
April 9, 2002 by and among Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (Formerly C3, Inc.) a North
Carolina corporation, and John M. Bachman, Inc. ("JMB").

                              Statement of Purpose
                              --------------------

     Charles & Colvard and JMB entered into an Agreement dated September 24,
1997 (the "Agreement") to formalize the terms upon which JMB will cut moissanite
gemstones for Charles & Colvard, a First Amendment to the Agreement dated March
23, 1998 (the "First Amendment"), a Second Amendment to the Agreement dated
September 28, 1998 (the "Second Amendment") and a Third Amendment to the
Agreement dated June 16, 1999 (the "Third Amendment"), a Fourth Amendment to the
Agreement dated October 5, 1999 (the "Fourth Amendment"), and a Fifth Amendment
to the Agreement dated December 29, 2000 (the "Fifth Amendment").

     In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Faceting Machines. JMB has XXX excess custom faceting machines
          -----------------
(individually a "Machine" and collectively the "Machines") which it does not
need if monthly production from Charles & Colvard stays below XXXXX pieces.
Charles & Colvard desires to purchase the Machines so that the Machines will be
available in the event of an increase in production needs. JMB has agreed to
store the Machines for Charles & Colvard, at no charge, and to perform the
maintenance needed to keep them in working order. JMB shall designate the
Machines and segregate and clearly label the Machines as belonging to Charles &
Colvard. The agreed upon purchase price is XXX per Machine or XXXXX in total
which shall be paid upon execution of the Agreement and receipt by Charles &
Colvard of written designation identifying the Machines. JMB shall execute such
further documents as Charles & Colvard may request to confirm the transfer of
title and ownership of the Machines. JMB is hereby granted a right of first
refusal to purchase the Machines until December 31, 2003 in the event Charles &
Colvard desires to sell Machines to a third party. JMB will begin to repurchase
the Machines from Charles & Colvard when production (in finished pieces) exceeds
XXXXX moissanite gemstones in any one month. The purchase price to be paid by
JMB upon repurchase of the Machines shall be XXX per Machine or XXXXX in total.

     2.   Cutting Charges. Charles & Colvard will pay JMB for moissanite
          ---------------
gemstone cutting services at rates as set forth on Exhibit A to the Second
Amendment. For cutting services provided by JMB, the amount payable to JMB by
Charles & Colvard reflected on each invoice will be reduced by XX in the first
month that monthly production (in finished pieces) exceeds XXXXX moissanite
gemstones, and shall continue until the aggregate amount of such reductions
equals XXXXX and

                                       1

<PAGE>

Charles & Colvard has received full credit against production charges for the
amount of the repurchased Machines. For every XXX that the XXXXX is reduced,
title to one of the Machines will transfer from Charles & Colvard to JMB and
upon full payment Charles & Colvard will retain no ownership interest in the
Machines. Charles & Colvard shall execute such further documents as JMB may
request to confirm the transfer of title and ownership of the Machines. In all
other respects the cutting charges and payment procedures in the Agreement, as
amended, are hereby confirmed.

     3.   Extension of Term. The initial term of the Agreement will be extended
          -----------------
from the date first set forth in the Agreement through December 31, 2004,
however, Charles & Colvard may terminate the Agreement at any time with 90 days
prior written notice.

     4.   Production Procedures: Standards
          --------------------------------

          a.   The monthly production volumes (in finished pieces) will be XXXXX
               per month, provided that the production volume may be adjusted by
               Charles & Colvard throughout the term.

          b.   In all other respects the production procedures and standards in
               the Agreement, as amended, are hereby confirmed.

     5.   Confirmation of Agreement. In all other respects the parties hereto
          -------------------------
confirm the terms of the Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment,
the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment. JMB will
obtain in writing, and provide to Charles & Colvard, the consent of its
affiliate to be bound by the terms of this Amendment.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed and delivered this
Amendment by its duly authorized officer, as of the date first above written.
