     (b)  Bonus: Westmoreland will receive a bonus of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($37,500.00) payable on January 21, 2001.

     (c)  Performance Bonuses: Westmoreland shall receive another bonus of

satisfaction of performance objectives mutually agreed upon and negotiated in
good faith by Westmoreland and the President of the Company for performance
during the first quarter of 2001. Westmoreland shall also receive quarterly
bonuses in the amount of 6.25% of annual gross salary each quarter beginning in
the second quarter of 2001 to be paid at the end of each quarter of a year upon
satisfaction of performance objectives mutually agreed upon and negotiated in
good faith by Westmoreland and the President of the Company. The performance
objectives shall contain threshold levels at which a portion of the bonus is to
be paid.

     (d)  Stock Options: Westmoreland will be granted stock options in
Onvia.com, Inc. in Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares of the Company at
the commencement of employment. The exercise price shall be the fair market
value of each share as of the date that the stock option is granted. Twenty-five
percent (25%) of said option shares will vest and become exercisable on March 6,
2001. The remainder of the options will vest and become exercisable in equal
installments on a monthly basis on the last day of each month at a rate of 1/48
of the total number of Shares subject to the Option and shall become exercisable
and vest, including fractional shares, each month beginning March 31, 2001 until
all such shares are completely vested. The options will be incentive stock
options to the maximum extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Code and will be
subject to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option
Plan and Stock Option Agreement and Notice of Stock Option Grant. The term of
each option shall be ten (10) years. The method of payment for exercise of the
options may be any method set forth in paragraph 4 of the Stock Option Agreement
of the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan or paragraph 9(b) of the
Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan or, in addition, by canceling vested
options with the payment calculated by crediting the amount due from Employee at
the then fair market value per share minus the exercise price per share,
multiplied by the number of options cancelled.

     In the event that the Company, prior to full vesting of all shares in the
initial stock option grant, terminates Westmoreland other than for Cause (as
defined below) or constructively discharges him as defined in paragraph 6, a
certain number of shares shall vest and become exercisable immediately as of the
date of termination. If the termination occurs before March 6, 2001, the
accelerated vesting consists of a pro-rated amount of the shares which would
have otherwise vested on March 6, 2001 (i.e., termination between November 6,
2000 and December 6, 2000 results in the monthly vesting of 12,500 shares, with
an additional 12,500 shares as of the 6th day of each month thereafter
continuing through March 6, 2001) plus an additional 46,875 shares. If the
termination occurs after March 6, 2001, the vesting consists of all shares
already vested plus an accelerated vesting of 46,875 shares that immediately
vest and become exercisable as of the date of termination. The above provision
shall not apply in the event of a Change of Control. In the event of death or
disability as defined in paragraph 5(c), the option(s)

                                       2
<PAGE>

may be exercised at any time within twelve months following the date of death or
date of termination of employment due to disability. Section 10(c)(ii) of the
Stock Option Plan does not apply. Nothing in this paragraph prohibits the
granting of additional stock options at any time. In the event additional stock
options are granted and the Company terminates Westmoreland other than for Cause
(as defined below) or constructively discharges him as defined in paragraph 6,
regardless of the vesting schedule attached to the additional stock options,
immediately as of the date of termination, 9 months of unvested additional
options will accelerate and vest (for purposes of calculating 9 months of the
unvested additional options, total unvested additional options will be deemed to
vest pro-rata on a monthly basis over the term of the vesting schedule). The
preceding sentence shall not apply in the event of a Change in Control. In the
event of termination with cause, Westmoreland retains all vested options and all
unvested options terminate.

     The Board of Directors shall approve the grant of the stock options no
later than October 26, 2000. The Board shall include the terms of paragraph 4(d)
and paragraph 7 of this Employment Agreement in the Notice of the Stock Option
Grant. To the extent that any provision of this Employment Agreement conflicts
with the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, Stock Option Agreement,
Notice of Stock Option Grant or the Exercise Notice, the terms of the Employment
Agreement shall govern. Nothing in this Agreement prevents amendment of the
Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, Stock Option Agreement, the
Exercise Notice and/or the Notice of Stock Option Grant to include provisions
more favorable to Westmoreland. The Company cannot change any vesting or
exercise schedule without the written consent of Westmoreland.

     (e)  Insurance: As of October 16, 2000, Employee shall be entitled to
participate in any health insurance benefits, including medical, dental and
vision benefits, Life Insurance/Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance,
Disability Insurance, Group Legal Services and other insurance or fringe benefit
plans offered to other executives of the Company, after satisfying all
eligibility requirements other than length of employment.

     (f)  Retirement Plans: When available, Employee may be entitled to
participate in a 401(k) or other retirement savings plan, pension plans or other
plan offered to other salaried employees, subject to satisfying the eligibility
requirements of such plan[s]. Employee's eligibility to participate in said
plans shall be governed by the terms of those plans.

     (g)  Expense Reimbursement: Employee shall be reimbursed within 20 business
days of submission of documentation for reasonable expenses incurred by him in
the performance of his duties under this Agreement (including without limitation
mileage and other travel expenses), upon compliance with any applicable
reimbursement policies. Westmoreland shall be entitled to reimbursement for dues
and membership costs for professional organizations, costs of educational
seminars and costs for educational or college courses, subject to prior approval
and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Westmoreland is not
responsible for payment of any relocation

                                       3

expenses arising out of his prior employment at hardware.com, and the Company
assumes responsibility for any unpaid relocation expenses or other unpaid
expenses.

     (h)  Vacation: Prior to March 6, 2001, Westmoreland will receive two (2)
weeks of paid vacation leave. In the second and third years of employment,
Westmoreland shall receive three (3) weeks of paid vacation leave. In the fourth
through tenth years of employment, Westmoreland shall receive four (4) weeks of
paid vacation leave.

5.   Termination: Westmoreland's employment shall terminate immediately on the
occurrence of any of the following, whichever shall occur first:

     (a)  Upon sixty (60) days prior written notice by either party;

     (b)  Immediately, "for Cause" defined as fraud; embezzlement; gross
negligence; or conviction of a felony against the Company or any felony
involving dishonesty. Gross negligence is defined as the lack of even slight
care in the performance of the duties and responsibilities of the position. The
Company must notify the employee of any event constituting Cause within thirty
(30) days following the Company's knowledge of its existence.

     (c)  Upon the death or permanent disability of Westmoreland. Permanent
disability shall be defined as the inability of Westmoreland to perform his
duties under this Agreement because of illness or incapacity for a continuous
period which is not less than the qualification period to enable Westmoreland to
qualify for the maximum disability coverage provided under the Company's
disability insurance policy. Westmoreland shall continue to receive compensation
and benefits pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Agreement until he qualifies for
disability insurance coverage under the terms of the Company's policy.

6.   Severance Pay: If the Company terminates Westmoreland and such termination
is other than for Cause (as defined in paragraph 5) or if the Company
constructively discharges Westmoreland, the Company shall pay to Westmoreland a
lump sum amount equivalent to six (6) months salary and accrued vacation to be
paid on the last day of employment and the Company shall pay benefits as
described in paragraph 4 for six months, including any administrative fees under
COBRA. A constructive discharge shall be deemed to occur if the Company assigns
Westmoreland any duties or reduces Westmoreland's duties to levels inconsistent
with the position of Vice President of Operations, fails to comply with any
provision of paragraph 4, requires relocation to another city, requires an out-
of-town assignment for more than 3 months consecutively in any twenty-four (24)
month period or out-of-town travel for more than 60% of the working days based
on a five day work week in any twenty-four month (24) period or engages in any
material breach of this Agreement. Upon any of the aforementioned circumstances,
Westmoreland may at his option deem himself to be constructively discharged and
terminate his employment and such termination shall be considered to be a
termination for reasons other than "Cause" for all purposes under this
Agreement.

that will result in Change of Control. In addition, if termination, demotion,
change in primary job duties, relocation or reduction of compensation occurs

2001, all remaining unvested shares (100%) in the Company or any successor

five percent (25%) of any unvested shares in the Company or any successor

          d.  By Employee for Good Reason.  Employee may terminate Employee's
              ---------------------------
employment for good reason, in which event Employee shall be entitled to the
same rights under this Agreement as if Company had terminated Employee's
employment without cause.  If Employee wishes to terminate employment for good
reason Employee shall first give Company 30 days' written notice of the
circumstances constituting good reason and an opportunity to cure, unless the
circumstances are not subject to being cured.  Following the notice and
opportunity to cure (if cure is not made), or immediately if notice and
opportunity to cure are not required, Employee may terminate employment for good
reason by giving written notice of termination.  The notice may take effect
immediately or at such later date as Employee may designate, provided that

against any and all claims that may be asserted against Employee by third
parties (including derivative claims asserted by third parties on behalf of
Company) that are connected with Employee's employment by Company, to the extent
permitted by applicable law. The foregoing notwithstanding, Company shall not be
required to defend or indemnify Employee (a) in criminal proceedings, (b) in
civil proceedings where Employee is the plaintiff or (c) to the extent it is
finally adjudicated that Employee did not act in good faith and in the
reasonable belief that Employee's actions were appropriate in the discharge of
Employee's duties for Company. Company may fulfill its duty of defense by
providing competent legal counsel of Company's choosing. The foregoing rights
are in addition to any other rights to which Employee may be entitled under any
other agreement, policy, bylaw, insurance policy, ordinance, statute or other
provision.

          a.  Disputes Covered.  This Process applies to all disputes between
              ----------------
Employee and Company, including those arising out of or related to this
Agreement or Employee's employment at Company.  Disputes subject to this Process
include but are not limited to pay disputes, contract disputes, wrongful
termination disputes and discrimination, harassment or civil rights disputes.
This Process applies to disputes Employee may have with Company and also applies
to disputes Employee may have with any of Company's employees or agents so long
as the employee or agent with whom Employee has the dispute is also bound by or
consents to this Process.  This Process applies regardless of when the dispute
arises and will remain in effect after Employee's employment with Company ends,
regardless of the reason it ends.  This Process does not apply, however, to
workers' compensation or unemployment compensation claims.

          b.  Mediation.  Before having an arbitration hearing, Employee and
              ---------
Company agree to attempt to resolve all disputes by mediation using the
Employment Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Mediation
is a nonbinding process in which a neutral person helps the parties to try to
reach an agreement to resolve their disputes.  If the mediation is

                                    Page - 4
<PAGE>

done after one party has started the arbitration process, the mediation shall
not delay the arbitration hearing date. Temporary or interim relief may be
sought without mediating first. Any failure to mediate shall not affect the
validity of an arbitration award or the obligation to arbitrate.

          c.  Arbitration.  All disputes that are not resolved by agreement (in
              -----------
mediation or otherwise) shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration
is a process in which one or more neutral people decide the case after hearing
evidence presented by both sides. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules
of the American Arbitration Association.

          d.  Injunctive Relief.  Either party may request a court to issue such
              -----------------
temporary or interim relief (including temporary restraining orders and
preliminary injunctions) as may be appropriate, either before or after mediation
or arbitration is commenced. The temporary or interim relief shall remain in
effect pending the outcome of mediation or arbitration. No such request shall be
a waiver of the right to submit any dispute to mediation or arbitration.

          e.  Attorneys' Fees, Venue and Jurisdiction in Court.  In any lawsuit
              ------------------------------------------------
arising out of or related to this Agreement or Employee's employment at Company,
the prevailing party shall recover reasonable costs and attorneys' fees,
including on appeal. Venue and jurisdiction of any such lawsuit shall exist
exclusively in state and federal courts in King County, Washington, unless
injunctive relief is sought by Company and, in Company's judgment, that relief
might not be effective unless obtained in some other venue. These provisions do
not give any party a right to proceed in court in violation of the agreement to
arbitrate described above.

          f.  Employment Status.  This Dispute Resolution Process does not
              -----------------
guarantee continued employment, require discharge only for cause or require any
particular corrective action or discharge procedures.

     14.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
          -------------
of the state of Washington without giving effect to provisions thereof related
to choice of laws or conflict of laws.

     15.  Saving Provision.  If any part of this Agreement is held to be
          ----------------
unenforceable, it shall not affect any other part. If any part of this Agreement
is held to be unenforceable as written, it shall be enforced to the maximum
extent allowed by applicable law. The indemnification, confidentiality,
limitations on publicity, possession of materials, noncompetition, nonraiding
and dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement shall survive after
Employee's employment by Company ends, regardless of the reason it ends, and
shall be enforceable regardless of any claim Employee may have against Company.

     16.  Waiver.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid
          ------
unless in writing, signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be
enforced. The waiver of any breach of this Agreement or failure to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not waive any later breach.

     17.  Assignment; Successors.  Company may assign its rights and delegate
          ----------------------
its duties under this Agreement. Employee may not assign Employee's rights or
delegate Employee's duties under this Agreement.

     18.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their
          --------------
personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

     19.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
          ------------
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken
together, shall constitute a single agreement.

     20.  Legal Representation.  In connection with this Agreement, the law firm
          --------------------
of Cairncross & Hempelmann has represented only Company and has not represented
Employee. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been advised to consult with
independent legal counsel before signing this Agreement and has had the
opportunity to do so.

     21.  Complete Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the attached
          ------------------
Exhibits, is the final and complete expression of the parties' agreement
relating to Employee's employment, and supercedes any prior employment
agreements and/or understandings between the parties. This Agreement may be
amended only by a writing signed by both parties; it may not be amended orally
or by course of dealing. The parties are not entering into this Agreement
relying on anything not set out in this Agreement. This Agreement shall control
over any inconsistent policies or procedures of Company, whether in effect now
or adopted later, but Company's policies and procedures that are consistent with
this Agreement, whether in effect now or adopted later, shall apply to Employee
according to their terms.

     DATED as of the date first written above.
