                     GENERAL MATTERS RELATLNG TO AGREEMENT

Section 5.01.  Confidentiality of Names and Information     (Non-Disclosure
Agreement)

RMH agrees that all names and information supplied to, enhanced by or collected
by RMH on behalf of BRANDDIRECT are the sole property of BRANDDIRECT, and/or its
CLIENT and are of valuable, confidential and proprietary nature, and that RMH
and its employees, agents or suppliers warrant to BRANDDIRECT that they shall at
all times maintain the confidentiality of such names and information. RMH
acknowledges that all names and information submitted by BRANDDIRECT are the
sole property of BRANDDIRECT and/or its CLIENT. RMH further agrees that it will
not in any way duplicate any of the names, information, or solicitation

                                       3
<PAGE>

materials, nor will it sell, rent or in any way release the names or information
to any third party for any reason whatsoever without the prior written consent
of BRANDDIRECT.

Section 5.02.  Audits

RMH hereby grants to BRANDDIRECT and its representatives the unconditional right
and power to audit or review RMH's financial books, transaction records,
confirmation tapes and all other documents and data that relate to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

Section 5.03.  Compliance With Laws and Regulations

RMH represents that it has obtained, where required by law or regulatory
authority, all permits, licenses and approvals necessary in each state for it to
conduct the Telemarketing Services, or, alternatively, that it is exempt from
obtaining same. Upon request, RMH will provide BRANDDIRECT with copies of all
such permits, licenses and approvals and, in the case of exemptions,
satisfactory proof of the applicability of such exemptions.

Section 5.04.  Indemnification

Both parties agree to indemnify and hold the other party, its shareholders,
officers, directors, employees, agents and its clients harmless against any and
all actions, claims, litigation (including attorney's costs and fees), damages,
fines, or disciplinary actions by any federal, state or local governmental
agency, including but not limited to state insurance departments, and any and
all other individuals which may arise as a result of either party's failure to
perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Because it is critical that RMH faithfully perform its obligations with respect
to record-keeping, and because the harm that would result from RMH's failure to
perform its obligations under Section 2.03 and 2.04 to make required records and
tapes available to BRANDDIRECT within 48 hours of request might not be
susceptible of precise calculation, any violation of those provisions shall
entitle BRANDDIRECT to liquidated damages in the amount of $5000 per day for
each calendar day that RMH fails to produce requested records and/or tapes, up
to a maximum of $100,000, in addition to any other remedies available under this
Agreement or otherwise. The parties stipulate and agree that this is a
reasonable approximation of the actual damages BRANDDIRECT will suffer in the
event of a violation, and that proof of the existence or amount of actual
damages shall not be required.

Section 5.05.  Independent Contractor

Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be
considered independent contractors with respect to each other and, as such, this
Agreement does not constitute either party as an employee, partner or legal
representative of the other party or BRANDDIRECT's CLIENTS for any purpose
whatsoever. RMH shall not have the right to bind BRANDDIRECT or to transact any
business in BRANDDIRECT's name or the names of BRANDDIRECT's CLIENTS other than
as provided in this Agreement.

Agreement may be assigned, in whole or in part, by either of the parties without
the prior written consent of the other party. Any attempt to assign or transfer
this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement is
prohibited, provided that (a) nothing herein shall preclude BRANDDIRECT or RMH
from assigning its rights and duties hereunder without notice to a subsidiary or
an affiliate, whether now existing or hereafter formed, and (b) neither a change
in control nor an assignment by operation of law shall be deemed an assignment
hereunder.

Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 5.06, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each of the
respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

Agreement. No changes to this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon either
party unless such changes are approved in writing by both parties.
