                  Disbursement set forth herein is subject to adjustment in
                  accordance with Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(ii) below.

                           iii. At and as of the Closing Date, to secure the
                  obligations under Section 8 below, and as more fully described
                  in Section 9 below, the Buyer shall deposit with an escrow
                  agent (the "Escrow Agent") the Buyer Shares equal to ten
                  percent (10%) of the Purchase Price divided by the Closing
                  Price (the "Escrow Shares"), which Escrow Shares shall be held
                  by the Escrow Agent for eighteen (18) months following the
                  Closing Date (the "Escrow Period"). The Escrow Shares shall be
                  registered under the

                  Securities Act ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the
                  Escrow Period.

                           iv. The number of shares of Buyer Shares to be issued

                  its shareholders, officers and directors (the "Distributees")
                  as determined by the Seller in its sole and absolute
                  discretion.

                           v. Forty percent (40%) of the Buyer's Shares
                  issued pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) and the Buyer's Shares
                  issued pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) above will be
                  registered under the Securities Act (the "Registered
                  Shares") pursuant to an effective registration statement
                  under the Securities Act (the "Registration Statement").
                  Subject to the provisions of Rule 145 of the Securities Act
                  ("Rule 145") of 1933, as amended, the Distributees shall be
                  allowed to sell, trade and otherwise transfer the
                  Registered Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Distributees

                  such Registered Shares during the first 30 minutes and the
                  final 30 minutes of any trading day. With respect to the
                  Registered Shares, Buyer shall: (A) make available "current
                  public information" about itself within the meaning of
                  subsection (c)(1) of Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated by
                  the SEC under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to

                  accordance herewith and Rule 145, or (ii) the Distributees
                  are eligible to sell the Buyer's Shares pursuant to Rule
                  144 or any successor rule; (C) to the extent required by
                  law, prepare as soon as reasonably practicable after the
                  Closing a prospectus supplement, current report of Form 8-K
                  and amendments, or post-effective amendment to the
                  Acquisition Shelf Registration Statement that would permit
                  the offer and resale of the Registered Shares from time to
                  time by the Distributees; (D) use its commercially
                  reasonable efforts to list the Registered Shares for
                  trading on the NASDAQ -- National Market System; (E)

                  prospectuses under the registration statement to enable the
                  Distributees to comply with any prospectus under the
                  registration statement to enable the Distributees to comply
                  with any prospectus delivery requirements under the
                  Securities Act; and (F) pay all expenses, including legal
                  and accounting fees, in connection with the preparation,
                  filing and maintenance of the Registration Statement,

                                           7

<PAGE>

                  including amendments thereto, the issuance of certificates
                  representing the Registered Shares, and other expenses
                  incurred by Buyer in meeting its obligations set forth in
                  this Section 2(c); provided that the Seller will pay all
                  expenses and fees incurred by its own counsel and
                  consultants.

                           vi. The number of Buyer's Shares issued pursuant to
                  Section 2(c)(i) above equal to forty percent (40%) of the
                  Purchase Price divided by the Closing Price will be subject to
                  a lockup agreement (collectively, the "Lockup Shares") in the
                  form attached hereto as Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Lockup
                  Agreement") for a period of twelve (12) months from the date
                  of issuance. The Lockup Shares shall be registered under the
                  Security Act on or prior o the date of the expiration of the
                  Lockup Period.

                  (d) ADJUSTMENT TO PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price set forth
         in Section 2(c) above is based upon an monthly recurring revenue rate
         directly derived from the Acquired Assets of $175,000, which revenue
         has been determined, for purposes of this Agreement, through accrual
         based accounting in accordance with GAAP for revenues that (i) recur
         each month on a customer-specific and plan-type basis; (ii) have been
         properly recognized during that month for network integration and web
         development services; and (iii) that do not include such non-recurring
         items as hardware and software sales, setup fees or other one-time
         service charges, or overages (the "Recurring Revenue Rate").

                           i. In the event that the monthly revenue rate
                  directly derived from the Acquired Assets for the one (1)
                  month period immediately preceding the Closing (the
                  "Pre-Closing Revenue") is less or more than the Recurring
                  Revenue Rate, the Purchase Price shall be reduced or increased
                  by $21.60 for each dollar that the Pre-Closing Revenue is less
                  or more than the Recurring Revenue Rate.

                           ii. In the event that the average monthly revenue
                  rate directly derived from the Acquired Assets for the six (6)
                  month period from June 1, 2000 to November 30, 2000 (the
                  "Post-Closing Revenue") is less than the Recurring Revenue
                  Rate, the Final Disbursement shall be reduced by $21.60 for
                  each dollar that the Post-Closing Revenue is less than the
                  Recurring Revenue Rate; provided, however, that the amount of
                  such reduction shall not exceed the aggregate value of the
                  Final Disbursement, i.e. ten percent (10%) of the Purchase
                  Price.

                           iii. No later than thirty (30) days following the
                  first anniversary of the Closing, the Buyer will prepare and
                  deliver to the Seller a computation of the Post-Closing
                  Revenue (the "Post-Closing Revenue Statement"), all in
                  accordance with the same principles utilized in

                                       8

<PAGE>

                  determining the Recurring Revenue Rate. If within twenty (20)
                  days following delivery of the Post-Closing Revenue Statement,
                  the Seller has not given the Buyer notice of the Seller's
                  objection to the computation of the Post-Closing Revenue as
                  set forth in the Post-Closing Revenue Statement (such notice
                  to contain a statement in reasonable detail of the nature of
                  the Seller's objection), then the Post-Closing Revenue
                  reflected in the Post-Closing Revenue Statement will be deemed
                  mutually agreed by the Buyer and the Seller. If the Seller
                  shall have given such notice of objection in a timely manner,
                  then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith for ten (10)
                  days in order to resolve any dispute regarding the computation
                  of the Post-Closing Revenue. At the end of this ten-day
                  period, if the matter has still not been resolved, then the
                  issues in dispute will be submitted to a "Big Five" accounting
                  firm mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller (the
                  "Accountants") for resolution. If issues in dispute are
                  submitted to the Accountants for resolution: (A) each party
                  will furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other
                  documents and information relating to the disputed issues as
                  the Accountants may request and are available to the party or
                  its subsidiaries (or its independent public accountants), and
                  will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants
                  any material relating to the determination and to discuss the
                  determination with the Accountants; (B) the Accountants will
                  be instructed to determine the Post-Closing Revenue based upon
                  their resolution of the issues in dispute; (C) such
                  determination by the Accountants of the Post-Closing Revenue,
                  as set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the
                  Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on the parties;
                  and (D) the Buyer and the Seller shall each bear 50% of the
                  fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination.

                  (e) THE CLOSING. The closing of the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place by in presence or by
         telephone conference call, or at the corporate headquarters of the
         Buyer, 999 18th Street, North Tower, 22nd Floor, Denver, Colorado
         80202, commencing at a mutually convenient time on the earlier of (i)
         the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all
         conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the
         transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions with respect to
         actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself) or (ii)
         December 30, 1999 (the "Closing Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
         Closing Date may be extended upon mutual written agreement of the
         Parties.

                  (f) DELIVERIES AT THE CLOSING. At the Closing: (i) the Buyer
         will deliver to the Seller (A) the various certificates, instruments,
         and documents referred to in Section 6 below, (B) the Purchase Price
         specified in Sections 2(c)(i) through 2(c)(iii), and (C) a mutually
         acceptable employment agreement for Mr. Daniel

         certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 6
         below, (B) the Bill of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C,
         and (C) the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts in the form
         attached hereto as Exhibit D; and (iii) each Party shall deliver such
         other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, and assignment as the
         other Party and its counsel reasonably may request.

                  (g) ALLOCATION. The Parties agree, to the extent permitted by
         or not otherwise in violation of applicable law, that the Buyer may
         allocate the Purchase Price (and all other capitalizable costs) among
         the Acquired Assets for all purposes (including financial accounting
         and tax purposes) in the most tax-efficient manner available to the
         Buyer.

         3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER. The Seller represents
and warrants to the Buyer that the statements contained in this Section 3 are

         agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement

         or approval of any government or governmental agency in order for the
         Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (d) BROKERS' FEES. The Seller has no Liability or obligation
         to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with

         Seller shall provide to the Buyer good and marketable title to all of
         the Acquired Assets, free and clear of any Liabilities, including all
         debts, obligations, claims, limitations, liens, Security Interests,

         Acquired Assets comprise all assets of the Seller relating to the
         Seller's Internet and web-related businesses.

                  (f) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Attached hereto as Exhibit E are the
         following financial statements of the Seller (collectively, the
         "Financial Statements"): (i) audited balance sheets and statements of
         income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flow relating to the
         Acquired Assets as of and for the calendar years ended December 31,
         1998 (the "Most Recent Fiscal Year End"); (ii) unaudited consolidated
         balance sheet and statements of income, changes in shareholders'
         equity, and cash flow relating to the Acquired Assets as of and for the
         periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998; and unaudited
         balance sheet and statement of income for the one-month period ended
         November 30, 1999 (the "Most Recent Month End") (collectively, the

         Statements (without any notes thereto) have been prepared in accordance
         with GAAP on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby,
         and fairly represent the financial condition and results of operations
         of the Seller for the periods covered thereby.

                  (g) EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO MOST RECENT MONTH END. Since the Most
         Recent Month End, there has not been any material adverse change in the
         business, financial condition, operations, results of operations, or
         future prospects of the Acquired Assets of the Seller.

                  (h) UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. The Seller has no Liability with
         respect to (i) the Acquired Assets (and, to the Knowledge of the
         Seller, there is no basis for any present or future action, suit,
         proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge,

                                       11

<PAGE>

         complaint, claim, or demand against any of them giving rise to any
         Liability), except for Liabilities set forth on the face of the Most
         Recent Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto) and
         (ii) Liabilities related to the Acquired Assets which have arisen
         after the Most Recent Month End in the Ordinary Course of Business
         (none of which results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the
         nature of, or was caused by any breach of contract, breach of
         warranty, tort, infringement, or violation of law).

                  (i) LEGAL COMPLIANCE. The Seller has complied with all
         applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes, plans,
         injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, and charges
         thereunder) of federal, state, local, and foreign governments (and all
         agencies thereof), with respect to the Acquired Assets, including all
         State PUC Authorizations and the FCC Authorizations, and no action,
         suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim,

                  (j) TAX MATTERS. The Seller has timely filed all Tax Returns
         with respect to the ownership and operation of the Acquired Assets and
         paid all Taxes due thereunder, and no Liability exists for any unpaid
         Taxes relative to the Acquired Assets prior to the Closing.

                  (k) REAL PROPERTY. The Seller does not own any interest in any
         real property related to the Acquired Assets. Section 3(k) of the
         Disclosure Schedule lists and describes briefly all real property
         leased or subleased to the Seller related to the Acquired Assets. The
         Seller has delivered to the Buyer correct and complete copies of the
         leases and subleases listed in Section 3(k) of the Disclosure Schedule
         (as amended to date). Other than such leases or subleases, the Acquired
         Assets do not include any real property or any interest therein. With
         respect to each lease and sublease listed in Section 3(k) of the
         Disclosure Schedule:

                           i. the lease or sublease is legal, valid, binding,
                  enforceable, and in full force and effect, except where the
                  illegality, invalidity, non-binding nature, unenforceability
                  or ineffectiveness would not have a material adverse effect on
                  the financial condition of the Company;

                           ii. the lease or sublease will continue to be legal,

         7. TERMINATION.

                  (a) TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. Either of the Parties may
         terminate this Agreement as provided below:

                           i. the Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving
                  written notice to the Seller at any time prior to the Closing
                  (A) in the event the Seller has breached any material
                  representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this
                  Agreement in any material respect, the Buyer has notified the
                  Seller of the breach, and the breach has continued without
                  cure for a period of fifteen (15) days after the notice of
                  breach; (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
                  before December 30, 1999 (or such later date, if extended
                  pursuant to Section 2), by reason of the failure of any
                  condition precedent under Section 6(a) hereof (unless the
                  failure results primarily from the Buyer itself breaching any
                  representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this
                  Agreement); and

                           ii. the Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving
                  written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing
                  (A) in the event the Buyer has breached any material
                  representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this
                  Agreement in any material respect, the Seller has notified the
                  Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure
                  for a period of fifteen (15) days after the notice of breach,
                  or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
                  December 30, 1999 (or such later

                                          21

<PAGE>

                  date, if extended pursuant to Section 2), by reason of the
                  failure of any condition precedent under Section 6(b) hereof
                  (unless the failure results primarily from the Seller itself
                  breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
                  in this Agreement).

                  (b) EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement,
         all liabilities and obligations of the parties shall terminate except
         for (i) confidentiality obligations under Section 8(d) below and (ii)
         any liability of any party hereto for breach pre-termination.

         8. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS. The Parties agree as follows with respect to
the period following the Closing:

                  (a) GENERAL. In case at any time after the Closing any further
         action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of
         Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including
         the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents)
         as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and
         expense of the requesting Party. The Seller acknowledges and agrees
         that, from and after the Closing, the Buyer will be entitled to
         possession of all documents, books, records (excluding Tax records,
         provided that the Seller provides true and correct copies of Tax
         records for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998), agreements, directly
         relating to the Acquired Assets; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer
         shall provide the Seller and its shareholders with reasonable access to
         such documents, books, records, agreements, and financial data as
         necessary.

                  (b) LITIGATION SUPPORT. In the event and for so long as any
         Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit,
         proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand
         in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this
         Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition,
         activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure
         to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the
         Acquired Assets, each of the other Parties will reasonably cooperate
         with the contesting or defending Party and his or its counsel in the
         contest or defense, make available his or its personnel, and provide
         such testimony and access to his or its books and records as shall be
         necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole
         cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the
         contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor
         under Sections 8(h), 8(i), or 8(j) below).

                  (c) TRANSITION. For a period of two (2) years from and after
         the Closing Date, none of the Seller or the Seller's shareholders will
         take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of
         discouraging any carrier, supplier, lessor, licenser, customer, or
         other business associate of the Seller from maintaining the same
         business relationships with the Buyer after the Closing as it

                                         22

<PAGE>

         maintained with the Seller prior to the Closing. Each of the Seller and
         the Seller's shareholders will refer all customer inquiries relating to
         the Acquired Assets to the Buyer from and after the Closing. In
         addition, each of the Seller and the Seller's shareholders shall
         recommend the Internet access and web-hosting services of the Buyer to
         any and all future customers of the Seller who request such a
         recommendation.

                  (d) CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Party shall treat and hold as such
         all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the
         Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and
         deliver promptly to the other Party or destroy, at the request and
         option of the other Party, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of
         the Confidential Information which are in his/her or its possession. In
         the event that either Party or any of that Party's shareholders is
         requested or required (by oral question or request for information or
         documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil
         investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
         Information, then that Party will notify the other Party promptly of
         the request or requirement so that such a Party may seek an appropriate
         protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this
         Section 8(d). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt
         of a waiver hereunder, a Party or its shareholders are, on the advice
         of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any
         tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such a Party or its
         shareholders (as the case may be) may disclose the Confidential
         Information to the tribunal; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Party and its
         shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the
         reasonable request of the other Party, an order or other assurance that
         confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the
         Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the non-disclosing
         Party shall designate.

                  (e) COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. For a period of two (2) years
         from and after the Closing Date, the Seller, the Seller's shareholders
         and their respective Affiliates, agree not to engage directly or
         indirectly in any business that offers dial-up internet access,
         dedicated internet access and web-hosting to third parties in any
         geographic area in which the Seller conducts that business as of the
         Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

                           i. no owner of less than three percent (3%) of the
                  outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation shall be
                  deemed to be engaged solely by reason thereof in any business
                  activity in contravention hereof; and

                           ii. if the final judgment of a court of competent
                  jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this
                  Section 8(e) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree
                  that the court making the determination of invalidity or
                  unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope,

                                            23
<PAGE>

                  duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific
                  words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable
                  term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and
                  enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention
                  of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this
                  Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the
                  expiration of the time within which the judgment may be
                  appealed.

                  (f) SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All of the
         representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this
         Agreement or in any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in
         connection herewith shall survive the Closing and shall continue in
         full force and effect for a period of two (2) years thereafter.

                  (g) THIRD PARTY CONSENTS. The Seller and the Buyer shall use
         their best reasonable efforts to procure, and assist each other in
         procuring, the consent of any third party whose consent is required in
         connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (h) INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS FOR BENEFIT OF THE BUYER

                           i. In the event the Seller breaches any of its
                  representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this
                  Agreement or in any agreement, instrument or certificate
                  delivered in connection herewith, and, if there is an
                  applicable survival period pursuant to Section 8(f) above,
                  provided that the Buyer makes a written claim for
                  indemnification against the Seller within such survival
                  period, then the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer from and
                  against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may
                  suffer through and after the date of the claim for
                  indemnification resulting from, arising out of, relating to,
                  in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged
                  breach); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event such a breach
                  results in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to
                  Section 2(d)(ii) above, then the Seller's liability for such a
                  breach under this Section 8(h) shall not include that portion
                  of the Post-Closing Revenue whose loss is determined by the
                  Buyer to be caused by such a breach, provided that the Buyer
                  shall be entitled to be indemnified for any other Adverse
                  Consequences the Buyer may suffer through and after the date
                  of the claim for indemnification resulting from, arising out
                  of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such a breach.

                           ii. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer from and
                  against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer and
                  its shareholders may suffer resulting from, arising out of,
                  relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Liability
                  (other than the Assumed Liabilities) or the Seller's operation
                  of the Acquired Assets prior to the Closing.

                  may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the
                  nature of, or caused by any Liability of the Seller other than

                           iv. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer from and
                  against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may
                  suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the
                  nature of, or caused by any Liability of the Seller for Taxes
                  of the Seller related to the Acquired Assets prior to the
                  Closing Date.

                           v. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer from and

                  suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the
                  nature of, or caused by any Liability of the Seller in
                  relation to the termination of any of the Seller's employees
                  who are not employed by the Buyer.

                           vi. The Seller shall not have any liability to the
                  Buyer for any Adverse Consequences set forth in this Section
                  8(h) to the extent that such Adverse Consequences are covered

                           vii. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the

                  result of any breach of any representation, warranty or
                  covenant, to the extent that the Buyer knew that such
                  representation, warranty or covenant was incorrect prior to
                  the Closing Date, except when such breach is the result of
                  fraud or willful misconduct.

                  (i) INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS FOR BENEFIT OF THE SELLER.

                           i. In the event the Buyer breaches any of its

                  Agreement or in any agreement, instrument or certificate
                  delivered in connection herewith, and, if there is an

                  fraud or willful misconduct.

                  (j) MATTERS INVOLVING THIRD PARTIES.

                           i. If any third party shall notify any Party (the
                  "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third
                  Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for
                  indemnification against any other Party (the "Indemnifying
                  Party") under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall
                  promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing;
                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no delay on the part of the
                  Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall
                  relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder
                  unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party
                  thereby is prejudiced.

                           ii. Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to
                  defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim
                  with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
                  Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party
                  notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15)
                  days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third
                  Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the
                  Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse
                  Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
                  arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by
                  the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the
                  Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the
                  Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the
                  financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim
                  and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the
                  Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not
                  seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement
                  of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party
                  Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified
                  Party,

                                      26

<PAGE>

                  likely to establish a precedential custom or practice
                  materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the
                  Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the
                  defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

                           iii. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting
                  the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with
                  Section 8(i)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain
                  separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and
                  participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the
                  Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any
                  judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
                  Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
                  Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C)
                  the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
                  judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
                  Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
                  Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

                  (k) LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.
         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(h), through 8(j) above,
         none of the Parties shall be obligated to indemnify or pay damages to
         any other Party or Parties, as the case may be, from and against any
         Adverse Consequences arising from or related to this Agreement to the
         extent that such Adverse Consequences arising from or related to this
         Agreement exceed the Purchase Price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Seller
         shall have no indemnification obligations under this Section 8 of this
         Agreement until the aggregate amount of all such claims exceeds Ten
         Thousand Dollars (US$10,000) (the "Basket"), in which case the
         Seller's indemnification obligations shall only be for the amount of
         such claims in excess of the Basket; AND PROVIDED FURTHER that any
         claims brought by a Party against another Party or Parties for fraud or
         willful misconduct shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations.

         9. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) ESCROW AGREEMENT. As security for the indemnity of the
         Buyer by the Seller provided for in Section 8 above, the Escrow Shares
         shall be registered in the name of the Seller, and deposited (with an
         executed assignment in blank) with Norwest Bank, N.A. as Escrow Agent
         such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") to be
         governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement to
         be signed by all parties thereto (the "Escrow Agreement"). In the event
         of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow
         Agreement, the terms of the Escrow Agreement shall govern. All costs
         and fees of the Escrow Agent for establishing and administering the
         Escrow Fund shall be borne equally by the Parties. Upon compliance with
         the terms hereof, the Buyer shall be entitled to obtain indemnity first
         from the Escrow Fund for all Adverse

                                       27

<PAGE>

         Consequences covered by the indemnity provided for in Section 8 above.
         If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to cover any such Adverse
         Consequences covered by Section 8 above, then the Buyer shall be
         entitled to seek payment directly from the Seller and, if the Seller
         cannot or will not cover such Adverse Consequences, then the Buyer
         shall be entitled to seek payment directly from the Seller's
         shareholders pro-rata to the ownership of the Seller. The form of
         the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit J.

                  (b) TAX-FREE REORGANIZATION. The Parties intend that the
         transaction contemplated by this Agreement constitute a tax-free
         reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code; provided,
         however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Party has
         represented to the other Party or Parties that such transaction will be
         treated as such by the Internal Revenue Service.

                  (c) LIQUIDATION OF THE SELLER. The Seller Principals agree
         that, as expeditiously as possible following the Closing Date, they
         will liquidate the Seller.

         10. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) PRESS RELEASES AND PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. No Party shall
         issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the
         subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior
         written approval of the other Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Party
         may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by
         applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its
         publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use
         its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Party prior to making
         the disclosure).

                  (b) NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement shall not
         confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties
         and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

                  (c) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Exhibits and
         Schedules hereto (including the documents referred to herein)
         constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any
         prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the
         Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the
         subject matter hereof.

                  (d) SUCCESSION AND ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding
         upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their
         respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either
         this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations
         hereunder without the prior written

                                           28

<PAGE>

         approval of the other Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer may
         (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or
         more of its Affiliates and (ii) designate one or more of its
         Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of
         which cases the Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the
         performance of all of its obligations hereunder).

                  (e) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
         of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
         which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This
         Agreement may be executed by facsimile, provided that the original
         counterpart is delivered within five (5) days of such execution.

                  (f) HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this Agreement
         are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the
         meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

                  (g) NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other
         communications hereunder will be in writing. Any notice, request,
         demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly

         Any Party may send any notice, request, demand, claim, or other
communication hereunder to the intended recipient at the address set forth above
using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger
service, telecopy, telex, ordinary mail, or electronic mail), but no such

recipient. Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands,
claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the
other Party notice in the manner herein set forth.

                  (h) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
         construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Colorado
         without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or
         rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that
         would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
         the State of Colorado.

                  (i) ARBITRATION. The Parties hereby covenant and agree that,
         except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any suit, dispute,
         claim, demand, controversy or cause of action of every kind and nature
         whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, that the Parties may
         now have or at any time in the future claim to have based in whole or
         in part, or arising from or that in any way is related to the
         negotiations, execution, interpretation or enforcement of this
         Agreement (collectively, the "Disputes") shall be completely and
         finally settled by submission of any such Disputes to arbitration under
         the Rules of Arbitration and Conciliation of the American Arbitration
         Association then in effect. If the Parties to the Dispute are unable to
         agree on a single arbitrator, then such binding arbitration shall be
         conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators that shall be
         comprised of one (1) arbitrator designated by each Party to the Dispute
         and a

                                      30

<PAGE>

         third arbitrator designated by the two (2) arbitrators selected
         by the Parties to the Dispute. Unless the Parties to the Dispute agree
         otherwise, the arbitration proceedings shall take place in Denver,
         Colorado and the arbitrator(s) shall apply the law of the State of
         Colorado, USA, to all issues in dispute, in accordance with Section
         10(h). The findings of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on
         the Parties to the Dispute. Judgment on such award may be entered in
         any court of appropriate jurisdiction, or application may be made to
         that court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of
         enforcement, as the party seeking to enforce that award may elect.
         Notwithstanding any applicable rules of arbitration, all arbitral
         awards shall be in writing and shall set forth in particularity the
         findings of fact and conclusions of law of the arbitrator or
         arbitrators. If either Party makes any claim and such claim is not
         found by the arbitrator(s) to be valid or proven, the claiming Party
         shall pay the costs of the other Party or its shareholders incurred in
         connection with such arbitration proceeding (including reasonable
         attorneys fees).

                  (j) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment of any provision of
         this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and
         signed by the Buyer and the Seller. No waiver by any Party of any
         default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant
         hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any
         prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty
         or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue
         of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

                  (k) SEVERABILITY. Any term or provision of this Agreement that
         is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall
         not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and
         provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending
         term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

                  (l) EXPENSES. Each of the Buyer and the Seller will bear its
         own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in
         connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
         hereby.

                  (m) REPRESENTATIVE. The individual shareholders set forth on
         the signature page hereto hereby appoint Daniel Lundahl to act as their
         representative to receive notices and to act on their behalves with
         respect to this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto.

                  (n) CONSTRUCTION. The Parties have participated jointly in the
         negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity
         or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be
         construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or
         burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue
         of the authorship of any of the provisions of

                                   31

<PAGE>

         this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign
         statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
         regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires
         otherwise. The word "including" shall mean including without
         limitation. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed
         adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made
         herein unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with
         reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable
         detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere
         listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not
         be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or
         warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do
         with the existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties
         intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained
         herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached
         any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any
         respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty,
         or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
         relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall
         not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of
         the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

                  (o) INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES. The Exhibits and
         Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by
         reference and made a part hereof.

                  (p) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; INDEMNIFICATION SOLE REMEDY FOR
         DAMAGES. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other
         Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions
         of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific
         terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties
         agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or
         injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and
         to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions
         hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or
         any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter
         (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 10(i) above), in
         addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in
         equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer's sole remedy for
         damages after the Closing shall be pursuant to the indemnification
         provisions in Section 8 above.

                                      * * * * *

       court is to be decided by jury or by judge, the Parties agree that they
       will not select to have any such matter decided by jury and hereby waive
       any such right to a jury trial. The Parties expressly exclude the
       application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
       International Sale of Goods.

1.7    CURRENCY.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all
       dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are stated in the lawful
       currency of the United States of America.

1.8    COMPUTATION OF TIME.  When calculating the period of time within which or
       following which any act is required or permitted to be done, notice given
       or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date which is the reference
       date in calculating such period shall be excluded.  If the last day of
       such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on
       the next following Business Day.

1.9    SCHEDULES.  The following Schedules are incorporated into and form part
       of this Agreement:

       Schedule "A"  Arbitration Rules of Procedure

       Schedule "B"  1999 Development Plan

       Schedule "C"  Principal Milestones of the 2000 Development Plan

       Schedule "D"  Form of Maintenance and Support Agreement

                                     ARTICLE II
                                  GRANT OF LICENSE

2.1    GRANT OF LICENSE.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, 724 grants
       to BofA a non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free,
       irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual license:

       (a)     USE OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY BY BOFA AND ITS AFFILIATES:  to use,
               modify, enhance, amend and/or change the Licensed Technology
               required to modify, enhance, amend, change, maintain, implement,
               correct, update and support the 724 Channels and create
               Derivative Works thereof for its own internal use and the
               internal use of Affiliates of BofA (only for so long as they
               remain Affiliates); and

       (b)     USE BY CUSTOMERS OF BOFA AND ITS AFFILIATES:  to sublicense and
               distribute only the client executable version of the Licensed
               Technology as modified or amended, including any Derivative
               Works, to Customers of BofA and Customers of Affiliates of BofA
               (with respect to particular Customers, only for so long as the
               relevant Affiliate of BofA remains an Affiliate) but only for
               their own personal display and use in connection with the banking
               business of BofA and its Affiliates.

       Provided however, that the license hereby granted shall not extend to any
       use by, or disclosure to, Affiliates of BofA or any other Person
       contemplated by this Section 2.1 which is, directly or indirectly, (or
       who is a director, officer, employee or agent of) a Competitor unless
       such company or other entity is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by
       Bank of America Corporation.  Provided, however, that notwithstanding the
       immediately preceding sentence, BofA shall be entitled to license
       Customers of BofA or of its Affiliates who are Competitors to use the
       client-executable version of the Licensed Technology (i.e. manifestations
       of the Licensed Technology intended for use by the end-user and not
       including the Source Code or those components of Specified Confidential
       Information not reasonably necessary for BofA's Customer to use the
       Licensed

<PAGE>

                                       -9-

       Technology in the manner contemplated by this Section 2.1) so long as
       BofA obtains for 724's benefit the agreement contemplated in Sections
       2.1, 2.2 and 2.6.

       Subject to the foregoing, 724 grants BofA the right to authorize other
       Persons to carry out any of the foregoing permitted uses in this Section
       2.1 on behalf of BofA, provided that BofA shall cause such other Person
       to not further disclose or make use (unless such other Person is merely a
       Customer of BofA or of its Affiliates, in which case BofA need merely
       cause such Customer to agree to not further disclose or make use) of the
       Licensed Technology or the Confidential Information of 724 in any manner
       whatsoever except for and on behalf of BofA as provided in this Section.
       BofA shall cooperate with 724 in enforcing its rights against such
       Persons specified above, including: (a) making 724 a third party
       beneficiary in any agreement that grants the authority to a third party
       in accordance with this Section 2.1; (b) taking such action as is
       reasonably necessary to enforce BofA's agreements with such Persons; and
       (c) promptly notifying 724 upon becoming aware of any breach by any such
       Person of any right of 724 hereunder or otherwise, including any
       infringement of 724's Intellectual Property Rights or any unauthorized
       disclosure or use of 724's Confidential Information.

       BofA hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless 724 in
       respect of all losses (including loss of profit or revenue), costs,
       damages, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred or sustained
       (together with the amount of all taxes thereon, including as provided in
       Section 3.3) in the event that any Person (unless such Person is merely a
       Customer) contemplated by this Section 2.1 uses or discloses 724's
       Confidential Information contrary to the terms hereof.  With respect to
       Persons who are merely Customers of BofA or of its Affiliates, BofA shall
       similarly indemnify and hold harmless 724 unless it obtained for 724's
       benefit the agreements contemplated in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.6 and it
       has not made available to such Customer any 724 Technology, Third Party
       Materials or BofA Funded Improvements which are Derivative Works contrary
       to the terms hereof.  For the purposes of Article IV, a claim for any
       such indemnity shall be a "Breach of Confidentiality Claim".

       2.1.1   CLARIFICATION OF PERMITTED USE.  For greater certainty, it is the
               intent of the parties that, while BofA may subcontract to third
               parties certain permitted functions involving the Licensed
               Technology in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1, the
               third parties shall only be entitled to use and/or disclose the
               Licensed Technology and 724's Confidential information for the
               benefit of BofA or its Affiliates and not for their own internal
               use or in their own businesses.  BofA acknowledges and agrees
               that the parties intend that the practical effect of Section 2.1
               shall be that the benefit of use of the Licensed Technology and
               724's Confidential Information in accordance with the terms
               hereof shall only extend to BofA and its Affiliates.  Therefore,
               the reference to a prohibition on the operation of a "service
               bureau" in Section 2.2 is meant to confirm that BofA and its
               Affiliates shall not have a license to use or disclose the
               Licensed Technology or 724's Confidential Information for the
               benefit of a third party, since that would deny 724 the right and
               opportunity to negotiate a separate license fee with the third
               party.  Therefor, the License hereby granted shall not be
               construed so as to permit any third party other than Affiliates
               of BofA (and then only to the extent provided above) to receive,
               copy, review, use or benefit from the Licensed Technology or
               724's Confidential Information.  The third party users referred
               to

<PAGE>

                                     -10-

               in Section 2.1 are merely to be performing functions for BofA
               that it could have done itself in accordance with the license
               terms.  Provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
               and for greater certainty, the licenses granted herein include
               the right to sublicense a business Customer to use the
               client-executable version of the Licensed Technology for its
               own internal "end user" business purposes.

2.2    RESTRICTIONS ON USE.  BofA shall: (a) not transfer, assign, lease,
       export, grant a sublicense of, or otherwise make available, the Licensed
       Technology or the license contained herein or 724's Confidential
       Information to any Person except as and when authorized to do so herein;
       (b) not use the Licensed Technology or 724's Confidential Information
       except as authorized herein; (c) not use the Licensed Technology or 724's
       Confidential Information to act as a service bureau, in whole or in part,
       for any other Person; (d) take such precautions with respect to the
       Licensed Technology and 724's Confidential Information as BofA would
       otherwise take to protect its own proprietary software or hardware or
       information from unauthorized use or disclosure.  BofA shall cause each
       of its Affiliates, independent contractors, permitted sublicensees of the
       Licensed Technology, Customers of BofA and Customers of BofA's Affiliates
       who are granted the right to use the Licensed Technology and each of the
       other Persons contemplated by Section 3.1 to agree to comply with the
       above restrictions (provided that, for Customers, the provisions of
       clause (d) above shall refer instead to such precautions as such
       Customers would take with respect to their own Intellectual Property, but
       not less than a reasonable standard of care).

       BofA shall include (and shall cause its Affiliates to include)
       counterpart restrictions which are substantially the same as the
       restrictions set forth in the preceding clauses (a) through (d), in each
       license, services or other agreement of BofA or its Affiliates concerning
       the Licensed Technology or concerning services or products using or
       incorporating the Licensed Technology.  BofA shall cooperate with 724 in
       enforcing the above-mentioned restrictions against its Affiliates,
       independent contractors, permitted sublicensees of the Licensed
       Technology and Customers of BofA who are granted the right to use the
       Licensed Technology and the other Persons contemplated by Section 3.1 or
       any other person obtaining access through BofA, directly or indirectly,
       to the 724 Technology or to 724's Confidential Information, including:
       (i) making 724 a third party beneficiary in any agreement that grants the
       authority to a third party to use the Licensed Technology or 724's
       Confidential Information; (ii) taking such action as is reasonably
       necessary to enforce BofA's agreements with such Persons; and
       (iii) promptly notifying 724 upon becoming aware of any breach by any
       such Person of any right of 724 hereunder or otherwise, including any
       infringement of 724's Intellectual Property Rights and any unauthorized
       disclosure or use of 724's Confidential Information.

2.3    SCOPE OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY:  In addition to the items specified in the
       definition of "LICENSED TECHNOLOGY" appearing in Section 1.1 of this
       Agreement, "LICENSED TECHNOLOGY" shall include the following:

       2.3.1   CONTINUING ALLIANCE BEYOND SECOND ANNIVERSARY.  If BofA pays the
               full amount of the License Fee, and BAC (or such other Affiliate
               of BAC as shall be permitted by the Subscription Agreement)
               subscribes for and pays to 724 the full  subscription price for
               the 2000 Shares in accordance with the terms and

<PAGE>

                                     -11-

               conditions of the Subscription Agreement, it may elect prior
               to the Second Anniversary, and at each anniversary thereafter,
               to continue as a development partner with 724 for an
               additional year and thereby to license additional 724
               Technology (the "CONTINUING ALLIANCE" and each anniversary
               after the Second Anniversary during the Continuing Alliance is
               referred to as an "ALLIANCE ANNIVERSARY") in consideration of
               the Continuing Alliance Fee, adjusted once annually at 724's
               option for increases in the CPI during the prior 12 month
               period.  No earlier than 90 days prior to the Second
               Anniversary and prior to each Alliance Anniversary thereafter,
               724 shall invoice BofA for the Continuing Alliance Fee on
               terms which are net 60 days.  If BofA does not remit payment
               within 60 days after receipt of any particular invoice, BofA
               shall be deemed to have elected not to enter into or extend
               (as the case may be) the Continuing Alliance beyond the Second
               Anniversary or beyond the day before the Alliance Anniversary
               which is the first day of the Continuing Alliance period in
               respect of which such invoice was prepared (as the case may
               be). Under the Continuing Alliance, BofA shall license
               additional 724 Technology so that the Licensed Technology
               shall include, in addition to all 724 Technology previously
               licensed hereunder, all 724 Technology developed by 724 up to
               the end of the Continuing Alliance.

               BofA's right to continue the Continuing Alliance terminates as of
               the close of business on the last day of the last 12-month period
               that the Continuing Alliance was in effect; provided that BofA
               may reinstate the Continuing Alliance at any time during the two
               year period after such alliance was terminated, by paying the
               Continuing Alliance Fee for all prior periods for which it has
               not been paid, with interest calculated in accordance with
               Section 4.4.  For greater certainty, BofA may reinstate the
               Continuing Alliance after it has been terminated only one time.

       2.3.2   SECOND ANNIVERSARY.  If BofA pays the full amount of the License
               Fee, and BAC (or such Affiliate of BAC as shall be permitted by
               the Subscription Agreement) subscribes for and pays to 724 the
               full subscription price for the 2000 Shares in accordance with
               the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, but does
               not elect, or is deemed (pursuant to Section 2.3) not to have
               elected, to  enter into the  Continuing Alliance as at the Second
               Anniversary, the Licensed Technology shall include, in addition
               to all components previously licensed hereunder, all 724
               Technology developed up to the Second Anniversary and the first
               version of each 724 Channel that is significantly completed as at
               the Second Anniversary.

       2.3.3   PREFERRED CUSTOMER OPTION BEYOND SECOND ANNIVERSARY.  If BofA
               pays the full amount of the License Fee, and BAC (or such
               Affiliate of BAC as shall be permitted by the Subscription
               Agreement) subscribes for and pays to 724 the full  subscription
               price for the 2000 Shares in accordance with the terms and
               conditions of the Subscription Agreement, but BofA either does
               not elect, or is deemed (pursuant to Section 2.3) not to have
               elected, to enter into or extend the Continuing Alliance, BofA
               may, from time to time on or prior to the fourth anniversary of
               the end of the Continuing Alliance (or, if the Continuing
               Alliance was not entered into, then on or prior to February 1,
               2005, obtain a license for additional 724 Technology, and, upon
               BofA's payment of all applicable license fees, the Licensed
               Technology shall include, in addition to all components

<PAGE>

                                     -12-

               previously licensed hereunder such Upgrades and new 724
               Technology developed and made generally available to 724's
               customers in respect of which such additional license fees have
               been paid.  724 shall determine the license fees for said
               Upgrades and new 724 Technology based on its list prices (no
               discount from standard rates) and the other terms of such license
               shall be the same for BofA as apply to 724's customers,
               generally, except that BofA shall be entitled to a source-code
               (rather than object code, which is expected to be the general
               case) license.

2.4    BOFA COMMITMENT.  BofA acknowledges and agrees that it has committed to
       working with 724 towards achieving the Deliverables, and unconditionally
       agrees to pay the non-refundable License Fee in accordance with the terms
       of Section 3.1 hereof, unless this Agreement terminates in accordance
       with Section 6.1 (Business Termination).  Notwithstanding the forgoing,
       the License Fee Holdback which is attributed to the acceptance of the
       Deliverables shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.14
       (Acceptance).

2.5    MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT.  724 will provide maintenance and
       support services in respect of the Licensed Technology in accordance with
       the Maintenance and Support Agreement, the form of which is attached
       hereto as Schedule "D".  The Services (as such term is defined in the
       Maintenance and Support Agreement) will commence, and 724 may invoice the
       Maintenance Fee, only after the first 724 Channel is delivered to (as
       contemplated in Section 2.16 hereof) and accepted by BofA in accordance
       with the acceptance testing procedure in Section 2.14 hereof.

2.6    CUSTOMER AND AFFILIATES LICENSE AGREEMENTS.  Where BofA enters into a
       sublicense pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, BofA shall enter into license
       agreements with Customers of BofA and Affiliates of BofA in a form
       satisfactory to 724, acting reasonably, that: (i) protects the
       Confidential Information of 724; (ii) restricts the use of the Licensed
       Technology by the Affiliates, Customers of BofA and Customers of
       Affiliates of BofA solely to that set out in Section 2.1(b);
       (iii) restricts the number of copies of the relevant Licensed Technology
       to that number of copies reasonably required for their own use and for
       backup purposes, provided that all copyright notices and any other
       proprietary notices are included; (iv) forbids the decompiling,
       disassembly and reverse engineering of the Licensed Technology;
       (v) requires that the Affiliates, Customers of BofA and Customers of
       Affiliates of BofA comply with all export laws in respect of the Licensed
       Technology; (vi) disclaims any liability on the part of 724 for damages,
       liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by the Affiliates,
       Customers of BofA and Customers of Affiliates of BofA in connection with,
       or by virtue of, the use of the Licensed Technology; (vii) makes 724 a
       third party beneficiary of such agreements for the purposes of giving 724
       the benefit of such waivers and liabilities as well as the right to
       protect the Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Technology and
       the confidentiality and use of its Confidential Information; and (viii)
       contains terms and conditions prescribed by third party licensors of
       Third Party Materials that are delivered with or incorporated in the
       Licensed Technology.  BofA will provide the initial form of license
       agreement referred to herein and, after 724 provides its approval, only
       amendments thereto adverse to the interests of 724 or otherwise material
       shall require further approval of 724.  Terms and conditions that apply
       to Third Party Materials may have to be approved by the third party
       licensors of such materials.  BofA shall cooperate with 724 and the
       licensor of any Third

<PAGE>

                                     -13-

       Party Materials in enforcing their rights against the Affiliates,
       Customers of BofA and Customers of Affiliates of BofA, including: (a)
       taking such action as is reasonably necessary to enforce BofA's and its
       Affiliates' agreements with such Persons; and (b) promptly notifying 724
       upon becoming aware of any breach by any such Person of any right of 724
       (whether provided for herein or otherwise) or of a licensor of Third
       Party Materials, including any infringement of any Intellectual Property
       Rights and any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential
       Information.

       Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
       parties acknowledge and agree that any agreement for 724's benefit that
       is required to be obtained by BofA from persons who are merely its
       Customers or merely Customers of Affiliates may be obtained in electronic
       form (i.e. "click-through", "click-wrap" or "web-wrap") provided that:

            (i)    the agreements by or on behalf of BofA and/or its Affiliates
                   with such Customers concerning the products or services
                   incorporating or using the Licensed Technology are similarly
                   in electronic format; and

           (ii)    724 is given the right to review and approve the form and
                   content of the portion of such electronic agreements relevant
                   to the Licensed Technology, such approval not to be
                   unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.7    PROVISION OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY AND BOFA FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS.  Upon
       request by BofA, 724 shall provide to BofA the following Licensed
       Technology and BofA Funded Improvements:

       (a)     the source code version of any software included in the Licensed
               Technology and BofA Funded Improvements, excluding any Third
               Party Materials, in machine-readable form on machine-readable
               storage.  When compiled, such source code version will produce
               the object code version of the software; and

       (b)     all applicable documentation and other explanatory materials in
               724's possession, including any programmer's notes, technical or
               otherwise, for the  Licensed Technology and BofA Funded
               Improvements, excluding Third Party Materials, as may be
               reasonably required by BofA, that a competent computer programmer
               possessing ordinary skills and experience would need to further
               develop, maintain and operate the Licensed Technology or BofA
               Funded Improvements, as the case may be, without further recourse
               to 724 including, but not necessarily limited to, general
               flow-charts, input and output layouts, field descriptions,
               volumes and sort sequence, data dictionary, file layouts,
               processing requirements and calculation formula and the details
               of all algorithms.

       Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, 724 agrees to deliver to
       BofA the then current version of the Licensed Technology (excluding Third
       Party Materials that 724 does not have the right to distribute),
       including the source code version of the Licensed Technology (excluding
       Third Party Materials that 724 does not have the right to distribute) and
       the corresponding object code version, upon BofA's reasonable request but
       no less frequently than annually.  In addition, 724 agrees to include
       with such delivery a list of all Third Party Materials and Intellectual
       Property Rights licensed by

                                     -14-

       724 which are included in the Licensed Technology, other than general
       software development tools.

2.8    OWNERSHIP OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY AND RELATED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
       RIGHTS.  BofA acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Technology and
       all Intellectual Property Rights therein and 724's Confidential
       Information are and shall at all times remain the exclusive property of
       724 and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and that no rights, title or
       ownership interest of any kind whatsoever in the Intellectual Property
       Rights therein, or any portion of same, except for the right to use as
       specifically provided in Section 2.1 hereof, shall pass to BofA, its
       Affiliates, Customers of BofA and Customers of Affiliates of BofA or any
       other Person.  724 acknowledges and agrees that BofA shall have all
       right, title and interest in and to any software or technology that BofA
       independently develops to work with the Licensed Technology, provided
       such software or technology does not constitute a Derivative Work and
       provided that such software or technology does not infringe 724's
       Intellectual Property.  BofA shall reproduce all copyright and other
       Intellectual Property Rights notices of 724, and the licensors of Third
       Party Materials, with each copy of the Licensed Technology made by BofA
       or products and services incorporating or using or accompanied by the
       Licensed Technology and/or Third Party Materials.

2.9    BOFA REQUESTED IMPROVEMENTS.  From time to time, BofA may request and/or
       fund certain additional functionality (each is referred to as an
       "IMPROVEMENT").  If BofA makes such a request, 724 will use commercially
       reasonable efforts to accommodate BofA and may, at its option, charge
       BofA either on a time and materials or project fee basis for the
       development of such Improvements.

       If BofA funds any Improvement (a "BOFA FUNDED IMPROVEMENT"), then:

       (a)     if such BofA Funded Improvement is a Derivative Work, 724 shall
               own the Derivative Work, together with all Intellectual Property
               Rights therein, and 724 hereby grants BofA a perpetual,
               fully-paid, irrevocable, exclusive world-wide license to use,
               reproduce, sublicense, market, perform, display and prepare
               derivative works therefrom; and

       (b)     if such BofA Funded Improvement is not a Derivative Work, BofA
               shall own the BofA Funded Improvement, and 724 hereby assigns to
               BofA all of its right, title and interest therein, together with
               all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

       If 724 (either at the time of the initial request by BofA for the
       Improvement or thereafter) determines that a BofA Funded Improvement
       could be exploited by 724 in connection with its business and/or could be
       licensed to one or more customers of 724, then 724 and BofA will
       negotiate, acting in good faith, an agreement on mutually agreeable,
       commercially reasonable terms pursuant to which BofA will:

       (a)     if the BofA Funded Improvement is a Derivative Work, waive the
               exclusivity of the license by 724 to BofA of the BofA Funded
               Improvement, or

       (b)     if the BofA Funded Improvement is not a Derivative Work, grant to
               724 the right to exploit the BofA Funded Improvement.

<PAGE>

                                     -15-

       None of the fees stated in Section 3 of this Agreement or which are
       stated in the Maintenance and Support Agreement are "BofA funding" within
       the meaning of this Section 2.9.

2.10   WAIVER OF MORAL RIGHTS.  724 agrees to use commercially reasonable
       efforts to cause any employee, permitted subcontractor or any other
       person under 724's control who was involved in the development of the
       Licensed Technology and BofA Funded Improvements, in such form as is
       satisfactory to BofA, acting reasonably, to irrevocably waive in favour
       of 724 any and all moral rights arising under the COPYRIGHT ACT (Canada)
       as amended (or any successor legislation of similar force and effect) or
       similar legislation in other applicable jurisdictions or at common law
       that such individual, as author, has with respect to any copyrighted
       works prepared by such individual that are included in the Licensed
       Technology or BofA Funded Improvements.

2.11   THIRD PARTY MATERIALS.  BofA acknowledges that certain Third Party
       Materials may be required in order to develop, compile, use or operate
       the Licensed Technology and BofA Funded Improvements, and agrees as
       follows:

       (a)     BofA agrees that 724 may include Third Party Materials in the
               Licensed Technology or BofA Funded Improvements with BofA's
               consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at
               BofA's expense, on terms agreeable to BofA, acting reasonably, if
               required in connection with the development of or use of the
               Licensed Technology or BofA Funded Improvements, as the case may
               be;

       (b)     BofA shall cooperate with 724 to obtain the necessary licenses or
               rights to use Third Party Materials used with the Licensed
               Technology or BofA Funded Improvements, or included therein,
               provided however that BofA will release 724 from any performance
               or other obligations that 724 is unable to comply with as result
               of BofA's election not to directly acquire a license or right to
               use any Third Party Materials; and

       (c)     BofA shall: (i) comply with; (ii) cause its Affiliates, agents,
               independent contractors and other Persons given access to the
               Licensed Technology to comply with; (iii) use commercially
               reasonable efforts to cause the Customers of BofA and the
               Customers of its Affiliates, to comply with; and (iv) cooperate
               with 724 and third party licensors by including in agreements
               with its Affiliates, Customers of BofA and Customers of its
               Affiliates and permitted sublicensees of the Licensed Technology
               and BofA Funded Improvements and all other Persons given access
               to the Licensed Technology, all terms and conditions specified by
               each third party licensor relating to its Third Party Materials,
               including restrictions on use of the Third Party Materials and
               payment of any license, maintenance or other amounts (including
               applicable taxes) specified by such third party licensor.  BofA
               will cooperate with 724 and the relevant third party licensors in
               enforcing the rights of such licensors of Third Party Materials.

2.12   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  BofA understands that the Licensed Technology,
       BofA Funded Improvements and Third Party Materials may include
       cryptographic technology and other technology that is subject to
       restrictions imposed by export controls and other laws and regulations,
       and that the export of the Licensed Technology, BofA Funded Improvements

<PAGE>

                                     -16-

       and Third Party Materials outside the United States of America and Canada
       may be highly regulated.  BofA shall fully comply, and cause its
       Affiliates and permitted sublicensees of the Licensed Technology, BofA
       Funded Improvements and Third Party Materials and all other Persons
       (other than Persons who are merely Customers of BofA or of its
       Affiliates) given access to the Licensed Technology to comply (or, in the
       case of persons who are merely Customers of BofA or of its Affiliates, to
       agree to comply) with all applicable export control and other relevant
       laws and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction that apply to the
       Licensed Technology and BofA Funded Improvements, including any Third
       Party Materials that are used with the Licensed Technology and BofA
       Funded Improvements.  If any such Affiliate or other Person (other than
       Persons who are merely Customers of BofA or of its Affiliates) fails to
       comply with such laws, BofA shall fully indemnify and save harmless 724
       in connection with any loss (including loss of profits) cost, expense,
       damage or liability sustained, suffered or incurred in connection
       therewith. Provided, however, that BofA will provide a similar indemnity
       to 724 in the event that it fails to obtain for 724 from any particular
       Customer restrictions required by this Section 2.12 as part of the type
       of agreement contemplated by Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.6 or if BofA or its
       Affiliates discloses, distributes or makes available to the Customers the
       source code or any other component of the Licensed Technology that is
       part of 724's Confidential Information.  For the purposes of Article IV,
       a claim for any such indemnity shall be a "724 Third Party Claim".

2.13   TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PLANS.  Each of the Parties agrees that the 1999
       Technology Plan (a copy of which is attached as Schedule "B" hereto)
       specifies the initial set of Deliverables and the performance
       specifications, delivery dates and the prorata portion of the License Fee
       Holdback attributable to each Deliverable.  The Parties shall use their
       commercially reasonable efforts to work together to develop, by no later
       than the First Anniversary, a mutually agreeable 2000 Technology Plan
       (including the Deliverables generally described in Schedule "C" hereto),
       which will specify the Deliverables to be delivered prior to the Second
       Anniversary, including the functional and performance specifications,
       delivery dates and the prorata portion of the License Fee Holdback
       attributable to each such Deliverable, and which, when settled in final
       form and initialled by the parties, shall be attached hereto and made a
       part hereof a replacement for Schedule "C".  The aggregate of the prorata
       amounts of the License Fee Holdback attributable to each of the 1999
       Development Plan and the 2000 Development Plan shall be one half of the
       total License Fee Holdback.  The Parties will develop mutually agreed
       detailed functional and performance specifications for each subsequent
       Improvement.  The specifications shall be the basis for the Acceptance
       Tests called for in Section 2.14.

       The Parties acknowledge that the Parties' development plans and
       performance requirements are subject to change from time to time, and, in
       order to accommodate such changes, the Parties shall work together in the
       event that the change in their development plans or performance
       requirements results in a required change in either the 1999 Technology
       Plan or the 2000 Technology Plan.  If a Party wishes to change a
       Deliverable, or the scheduled delivery date for such Deliverable, it
       shall promptly notify the other Party of such change.  The Parties shall
       then work together, acting reasonably, to make mutually agreeable changes
       to the relevant technology plan, and shall reapportion the prorata
       License Fee Holdback among the remaining Deliverables in the relevant
       technology development plan.  If any such change accelerates the delivery
       date of a Deliverable or results in a significant change in the scope,
       requirements or amount of

<PAGE>

                                     -17-

       effort required to be expended by 724, 724 will be permitted, upon BofA's
       prior written consent, to charge BofA on either a time and materials
       basis at 724's then standard current rates (the current rates are
       specified in Schedule "A" to the Maintenance and Support Agreement) or a
       fixed price project fee.

       The Parties further acknowledge that there may be certain factors beyond
       the control of 724 that could frustrate the development, delivery or
       testing of any Deliverable (a "Dependency"), including interoperability
       issues arising in BofA's systems and third party facilities providers'
       systems.  If a Dependency causes a Deliverable to be delayed, the Parties
       will work together in good faith to complete the Deliverable as soon as
       practicably possible (subject to any extra charges that may result and be
       paid in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph).  The
       Parties shall, in the event of any such delay, negotiate in good faith an
       amendment to the 1999 Development Plan and/or the 2000 Development Plan
       for the purpose of developing new or additional Deliverables against
       which to apply the License Fee Holdback amount allocated to the
       Deliverable that was frustrated.  In the event that no such agreement is
       reached by the Parties acting reasonably and in good faith, BofA shall
       not be obligated to pay the License Fee Holdback amount in question.

2.14   ACCEPTANCE TESTING.

       2.14.1  Each Deliverable and BofA Funded Improvement or any Upgrade or
               Update delivered hereunder (for purposes of this Section 2.14
               only, collectively referred to as a "Deliverable") will be
               subjected to acceptance testing by BofA during an Acceptance Test
               Period consisting of not more than 60 days from the date of
               delivery of the Deliverable to BofA.  "Acceptance Test" means a
               test which can reliably and consistently confirm that a
               Deliverable substantially meets the functional and performance
               specification (a "Specification") prepared in accordance with
               Section 2.13.  In this regard, BofA shall, in conjunction with
               724, establish a "Test Plan" to take place during the particular
               Acceptance test Period, which Test Plan involves numerous test
               runs or other verification of the Deliverable.  BofA covenants
               and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify 724
               of Critical or Major defects (as contemplated in Section 2.14.4)
               as early as possible throughout the Acceptance Test Period and
               shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete as much of
               the Test Plan for the particular Acceptance Test in order that
               724 obtain as much information concerning the status of the
               Deliverable as possible from the particular Acceptance Test.  An
               Acceptance Test Period shall be considered to be completed when
               the Test Plan for the particular Acceptance Test Period has been
               completed or the Test Plan has had to be abandoned as a result of
               Critical or Major (as defined below) errors which make further
               testing of the Deliverable meaningless or which would yield
               unreliable test results.

       2.14.2  A Deliverable will be "accepted" if BofA provides written notice
               that the Deliverable has passed the Acceptance Test, or will be
               deemed to have been "accepted" if:

       (a)     BofA does not notify 724 within the initial or, if applicable,
               any subsequent Acceptance Test Period that it does not accept the
               Deliverable;

<PAGE>

                                     -18-

       (b)     BofA does not notify 724 during the Acceptance Test Period of
               defects or problems constituting non-compliance of the
               Deliverable with its Specification; or

       (c)     BofA uses the Deliverable for commercial production purposes or
               otherwise uses the Deliverable on other than a "testing" basis
               for a period of five Business Days.

       2.14.3  Acceptance will be effective on the earliest of:  (i) the date
               upon which 724 receives notice of acceptance; (ii) the last day
               of the Acceptance Test Period (provided that notice of the
               failure of the Acceptance Test or of defects or problems has not
               been delivered prior to the end of the Acceptance Test Period)
               and (iii) the fifth Business Day after the day upon which BofA
               first uses the Deliverable for commercial production purposes or
               otherwise uses the Deliverable on other than a "testing" basis;
               and that day will be deemed to be the "Acceptance Date".

       2.14.4  If all or part of the Acceptance Test indicates that the
               Deliverable does not comply with its Specification, BofA will
               notify 724 of the particular failure and will, acting reasonably,
               classify the defects or problems encountered as follows:

               (a)   CRITICAL - a failure substantially preventing the useful
                     operation of the Deliverable;

               (b)   MAJOR - a failure which does not preclude the useful
                     operation of the Deliverable, but substantially reduces its
                     effectiveness or which materially and adversely affects the
                     performance or functionality of the Deliverable from the
                     perspective of the Customer; or

               (c)   MINOR - a defect or problem other than a Critical or Major
                     problem.

       2.14.5  Upon receipt of notification of a Critical or Major problem, 724
               will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Critical
               or Major problem (in conjunction with all other Critical or Major
               problems identified by the particular Acceptance Test) within the
               time period determined jointly by BofA and 724, acting reasonably
               and having regard to the nature of such Critical or Major
               problem(s).  Under no circumstances will such correction period
               extend beyond 30 days from the end of the particular Acceptance
               Test Period.

               When the Critical and Major defects identified by a particular
               Acceptance Test have been corrected, (or if the aforesaid 30 day
               period has expired and certain of such defects remain to be
               corrected, then, in any event), 724 will notify BofA of the state
               of the corrections and BofA may conduct another Acceptance Test
               with respect to those components of the Deliverable that 724
               considers have been sufficiently corrected to justify a further
               Acceptance Test at that time for a period of up to 60 days,
               provided that BofA shall use its reasonable efforts to complete
               the Test Plan for that further Acceptance Test as soon as
               possible.  BofA covenants and agrees to use commercially
               reasonable efforts to notify 724 of Critical or Major defects as
               early as possible throughout such further Acceptance Test Period.

<PAGE>

                                     -19-

       2.14.6  In the event of a Minor problem, BofA will continue the
               Acceptance Test, provided that 724 will use commercially
               reasonable efforts to correct such Minor problem promptly upon
               receipt of notification of such Minor problem.

       2.14.7  If the particular Deliverable has not been accepted or deemed to
               be accepted after the conclusion of four Acceptance Test Periods
               for that Deliverable (or if 724 has indicated that it cannot
               remedy a particular Critical or Major problem identified during
               the third Acceptance Test Period for that Deliverable within 30
               days of the end of such third Acceptance Test Period), BofA will
               notify 724 of that failure (and the nature thereof) and may
               exercise one of the following options (which shall constitute its
               sole remedy):

               (a)   OPTION ONE:   Repeat the process described in Section
                     2.14.5; or

               (b)   OPTION TWO:

                     (i)    except as provided in Section 2.14.7(b)(ii), BofA
                            shall not be required to pay that part of the
                            License Fee Holdback, if any, allocated to the
                            particular Deliverable in accordance with Schedule
                            "B" and Schedule "C" hereto; and

                     (ii)   in respect of any BofA Funded Improvements or any
                            Upgrade, to reject the Deliverable, in which case
                            BofA shall not be required to pay for such
                            Deliverable and shall receive a refund of all
                            amounts specifically paid to 724 in respect of the
                            rejected Deliverable; 724 shall retain all rights in
                            the rejected Deliverable and no right, title or
                            interest therein shall transfer to BofA.

       2.14.8  724's services for correcting defects or problems in a
               Deliverable identified during the Acceptance Test Period shall be
               provided free of charge, subject to BofA paying any additional
               amount for changes in Deliverables, as specified in Section 2.13.

       2.14.9  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, 724 is
               not responsible for the failure of any BofA or third party
               software or system (other than Third Party Materials) to
               integrate with any Deliverable or the Deliverable's ability to be
               incorporated therein, provided that Deliverable complies in all
               material respects with the interface specifications relating
               thereto.

       2.14.10 Where failure of any underlying communications infrastructure,
               Third Party Material, or a third party obligation is impeding the
               Acceptance Test, either Party may designate the Acceptance Test
               as "on hold" pending corrections thereof; provided, however, that
               if such failure could be remedied by one of the Parties using
               their commercially reasonable efforts, then such Party shall not
               be entitled to put such Acceptance Test procedure "on hold".

2.15   PROJECT MANAGEMENT.  Each of the Parties agrees to designate a project
       manager from their respective companies who shall have the authority to
       bind the Party that he/she represents, with respect to the matters
       indicated in the immediately following sentence, and who shall have the
       authority to consent to any action on behalf of the Party that

<PAGE>

                                     -20-

       he/she represents; with respect to the matters indicated in the
       immediately following sentence, provided, however, that the project
       manager shall not have the authority to waive any rights of the Parties
       herein or at law or to effect any amendment to the terms hereof or to
       make any determination or concession as to ownership of Intellectual
       Property Rights.  These individuals will, in accordance with the spirit
       of this Agreement, use reasonable efforts in co-ordinating the continuing
       development of objectives, related scheduling and resource allocation in
       respect of the development and provision of the Deliverables under the
       1999 Development Plan and the 2000 Development Plan and jointly
       supervise the Acceptance Testing process.  All notices required to be
       delivered hereunder shall be copied to the project managers.

2.16   DELIVERY.  Any and all supplies of property made pursuant to this
       Agreement shall be delivered or made available to BofA and Affiliates of
       BofA outside of Canada.  Any provision of tangible personal property
       pursuant to this Agreement shall be made f.o.b. the premises of BofA, the
       United States of America.  Any other provision of property made pursuant
       to this Agreement shall be upon the transfer to the system of and receipt
       by BofA or the Affiliate of BofA, in each case outside of Canada.  BofA
       shall have the right to require delivery by means of electronic
       transmission subject to the following provisions:

       (i)     BofA shall provide and designate to 724 a secure and FTP site for
               the transmission; and

       (ii)    BofA shall assume full responsibility for any interception,
               breach of confidentiality, theft or other unauthorized disclosure
               or use of 724's Confidential Information arising or resulting
               from such electronic transmission, provided that 724
               substantially complies with the reasonable information security
               specifications for the transmission that BofA proposes.

                                    ARTICLE III

                                     -21-

       (b)     CONTINUING ALLIANCE FEE.  BofA shall pay the Continuing Alliance
               Fee in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in
               Section 2.3 hereof if it elects to commence or extend the
               Continuing Alliance.

       (c)     PREFERRED CUSTOMER LICENSE FEE.  BofA shall pay the license fee
               in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in Section
               2.3.3 hereof if BofA exercises its right at any time to license
               additional technology from 724 as part of the Licensed Technology
               in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Section.

       (d)     THIRD PARTY MATERIALS.  BofA shall pay all amounts due to 724
               and/or licensors of Third Party Materials that are included in or
               used with the Licensed Technology that BofA consents to in
               accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.

       (e)     TRAVEL AND COMMUNICATION EXPENSES.  If BofA requests that 724
               provide, or if 724 acting reasonably determines it advisable to
               provide, services at any location outside of Metropolitan
               Toronto, BofA shall reimburse 724 for all reasonable travel
               expenses (including all reasonable communications,
               transportation, lodging, meal and other out of pocket expenses)
               incurred by 724, at 724's cost (including the amount of all
               taxes, imposts, levies, duties or similar charges for which 724
               is not entitled under the relevant legislation to currently claim
               a credit, rebate, refund, set-off or other recovery).  All
               charges payable under this subparagraph (e) shall be invoiced
               monthly for expenses incurred by 724 in the prior one month
               period and shall be payable net 30 days from the date of the
               invoice.

3.2    INVOICES.  Unless otherwise specified under this Agreement, 724 shall
       invoice BofA for any amount payable hereunder no earlier than 30 days in
       advance of the date that such payment is due.  The terms of each such
       invoice shall be net 30 days.

3.3    TAXES.

       3.3.1   In addition to any and all fees, levies, imposts, reimbursements,
               expenses and other charges hereunder, BofA shall pay to 724 all
               taxes, duties, levies, imposts and other such assessments or
               charges which may be assessed, levied or imposed, payable or
               remittable pursuant to the relevant tax legislation in connection
               with this license of the Licensed Technology or the sublicenses
               contemplated herein and any other fees, levies, imposts and other
               charges in connection with any other supply, provision, or other
               transfer contemplated by this Agreement (for the purposes of this
               Section 3.3, collectively referred to as "TRANSFER TAXES"),
               except taxes on 724's income or capital, and any reference to a
               payment by BofA, an Affiliate or sublicensee thereof or other
               Person to or for the benefit of 724 hereunder shall be read to
               include the payment of any and all such Transfer Taxes.

       3.3.2   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all payments by
               BofA under this Agreement (excluding payments of Transfer Taxes)
               shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any
               and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
               charges or withholdings imposed on or with respect to such
               payments, and all interest, penalties and other liabilities with
               respect thereto (all such taxes,

<PAGE>

                                     -22-

               levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
               liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Amounts").  If
               BofA is required by law to deduct any such Amount from payments
               or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, and remit such
               Amount to a relevant taxing authority:

               (i)     the sum payable shall be increased by BofA as may be
                       necessary so that after making all required deductions
                       (including deductions applicable to additional sums
                       payable under this Section 3.3.2(i)), 724 receives an
                       amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
                       deduction been made;

               (ii)    BofA shall make such deductions;

               (iii)   BofA shall pay and remit the full amount deducted to the
                       relevant taxation authority in accordance with
                       applicable law; and

               (iv)    Within 30 days after the date of payment or remittance of
                       Amounts referred to in the preceding paragraph to the
                       relevant taxation authority, BofA will furnish to 724
                       the original or a certified copy of any receipt furnished
                       by the relevant taxing authority evidencing payment
                       thereof.

       3.3.3   For greater certainty, no such additional amount shall be payable
               by BofA to the extent (but only to the extent) that no deduction,
               or withholding from the payment to 724 is required by the
               applicable tax legislation.  For example, it is the parties'
               understanding that where 724 otherwise becomes liable for the
               payment of U.S. income taxes on a particular payment pursuant to
               this Agreement by reason of it having a sufficient connection to
               a U.S. taxing jurisdiction for such U.S. jurisdiction to impose
               domestic U.S. tax on such payment (such as by 724 maintaining a
               permanent establishment in the U.S. to which the income arising
               pursuant to this Agreement is allocated or effectively connected
               for U.S. tax purposes) other than a connection based merely on
               the entitlement of 724  to the payments to be made under this
               Agreement and the Maintenance and Support Agreement, then no
               deduction or withholding requirement would be imposed by U.S.
               taxation legislation.

       3.3.4   In this regard, the parties acknowledge and agree that BofA will
               be obligated to withhold from payments to 724 and remit to the
               applicable U.S. taxation authorities amounts in respect of U.S.
               tax levied on the payments to 724, and therefore would be
               obligated to pay the additional amounts contemplated by Section
               3.3.2, unless certain certificates, documents or other evidence
               are delivered to BofA by 724, as required by the Internal Revenue
               Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including,
               without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form
               W-8BEN (see. e.g. Item 10 in Part II) and any other certificate
               or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation
               Sections 1.1441-1(e) and 1.1441-4(a) or Section 1.1441-6(b) or
               any subsequent version thereof, property completed and duly
               executed by 724 establishing that the payment is: (i) not subject
               to withholding under the Internal Revenue Code because such
               payment is effectively connected with the conduct by 724 of a
               trade or business in the United States; or (ii) totally exempt
               from United States tax

<PAGE>

                                     -23-

               under a provision of an applicable tax treaty.  For greater
               certainty, this provision shall not be construed so as to shift
               the burden of sales, use, excise, VAT and similar taxes from
               BofA to 724, even if 724 carries on business in the United
               States or maintains a U.S. permanent establishment.

       3.3.5   724 covenants and agrees to act in good faith in connection with
               requests by BofA for information and certificates or other
               written statements (as contemplated above) reasonably required by
               it in order to determine whether it has an obligation with
               respect to any payment hereunder to deduct or withhold amounts
               for purposes of remitting them to the relevant taxation
               authorities and, therefore, an associated obligation to pay the
               additional amounts contemplated by Section 3.3.2 above.
               Specifically, 724 covenants and agrees that if it is able to
               truthfully and in good conscience deliver the required statements
               or certificates obviating the need for BofA to deduct or withhold
               amounts from the payments contemplated hereunder, it shall do so
               upon request by BofA and on a timely basis having regard to
               BofA's statutory obligations.

       3.3.6   Without duplication of the payments to be made pursuant to
               Sections 3.3.7 and 3.3.8, in the event that 724 shall be entitled
               to receive from the applicable U.S. taxation authorities a refund
               of tax paid or payable by it (a "Tax Refund") with respect to or
               calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving
               rise to the payment of the additional amount as contemplated
               above in Section 3.3.2(i), 724 shall use reasonable efforts to
               obtain the Tax Refund, to the extent it can do so without
               prejudice to the retention of the amount of such Tax Refund, and,
               upon receipt of such Tax Refund, pay or cause to be paid to BofA
               such amount as 724 shall have concluded, acting reasonably, to be
               the after-tax value to it of the Tax Refund which is attributable
               to the relevant deduction, withholding or tax payable.

       3.3.7   In addition, subject to Section 3.3.8 and without duplication of
               the payments to be made pursuant to Section 3.3.6, if 724 shall
               obtain the benefit of a tax credit from the applicable Canadian
               or United States tax authorities with respect to amounts deducted
               or withheld by BofA from payments due hereunder and remitted on
               behalf of 724 to the applicable U.S. taxation authority (and in
               respect of which 724 shall have received the additional amount
               contemplated by Section 3.3.2(i)), then, upon receipt of the
               benefit of the tax credit (through offsetting tax liability or
               through refund), 724 shall, subject to Section 3.3.8, pay or
               cause to be paid to BofA such amount as 724 shall have concluded,
               acting reasonably, to be the after-tax value to it of the tax
               credit which is attributable to the relevant deduction,
               withholding or tax, to reimburse BofA for all or a portion of the
               additional amount that had been paid to 724.

       3.3.8   In particular, if 724 shall receive the benefit of a foreign tax
               credit under its Canadian federal or provincial income tax
               returns in respect of an amount withheld or deducted at source by
               BofA and remitted to the applicable U.S. taxation authority, the
               procedure outlined in Section 3.3.7 shall be applicable provided,
               however, that the amount of the tax credit shall first be
               applied:
<PAGE>

                                     -24-

               (i)     to reimburse 724 for the additional Canadian (including
                       federal and provincial) income and other taxes (or loss
                       of tax shelter - such as the reduction of non-capital
                       tax loss carryforwards or utilization of tax credits
                       otherwise available to shelter other current or future
                       income) that it incurred in respect of the taxation of
                       additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.3.2(i) as
                       part of 724's world-wide income.  For these purposes, the
                       amount of additional tax burden incurred by 724 shall be
                       deemed to be that amount equal to the product obtained
                       when the Tax Rate is multiplied by the aggregate sum of
                       such additional amounts received or receivable by 724 for
                       all taxation periods (or parts thereof) during the term
                       of this Agreement up to the day on which the calculation
                       is being made; and

               (ii)    the balance of any such tax credit shall be applied as a
                       refund to BofA in accordance with the provisions of
                       Section 3.3.7 MUTATIS MUTANDIS.  For greater certainty,
                       however, tax credits and tax refunds shall be allocated
                       solely to the particular deduction/withholding by BofA
                       and the additional amounts paid by BofA pursuant to
                       Section 3.3.2(i) to which they relate.

       3.3.9   Both parties covenant and agree to file or re-file, as
               applicable, all relevant tax returns and information returns
               necessary to reflect such payment by 724 to BofA as a full or
               partial refund, as the case may be, of the additional Amount
               previously received by 724.

       3.3.10  In the event that a particular taxation authority having
               jurisdiction shall object, assess, reassess or appeal a position
               taken by the parties and should such position be upheld or
               appeals by the relevant party abandoned, the parties undertake to
               readjust the payments between them, acting reasonably and in good
               faith.

       3.3.11  If BofA reasonably believes that 724 is entitled to a Tax Refund
               as described in Section 3.3.6 or a tax credit as described in
               Section 3.3.7 in respect of which 724 has not applied, claimed or
               deducted in computing its income, or if 724 has so applied for,
               claimed or deducted, such application, claim or deduction has
               been denied by the relevant taxing authority, then 724 agrees to
               (upon receipt of written notice from BofA as to its reasonable
               belief): (A) apply for, claim or deduct such amount not yet
               applied for, claimed or deducted, if applicable; or (B) object
               and, if necessary, appeal such denial (where permitted under the
               relevant tax legislation) and pursue such objection and appeal in
               good faith provided: (i) that neither applying for, claiming or
               deducting the Tax Refund or tax credit, or objecting or appealing
               the denial of the Tax Refund or tax credit shall in 724's view,
               materially prejudice 724's past, present or future tax position;
               and (ii) BofA agrees that such objection and appeals shall be at
               its sole cost and expense, including all legal and accounting
               fees and disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs arising as a
               result of objecting or appealing the denial of the Tax Refund or
               tax credit.

       3.3.12  Provided however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein
               to the contrary, 724 shall be entitled to arrange its tax affairs
               in whatever manner it thinks fit and shall not be required to
               disclose to BofA any information regarding its tax affairs or tax
               calculations (except that BofA shall be entitled to review 724's
               tax returns

               for purposes of verifying the parties' respective rights and
               obligations pursuant to this Section 3.3).

3.4    LATE FEES.  If BofA fails to make payment of the amounts payable to
       724 in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 above or any other
       amount payable pursuant to this Agreement or any of the sublicenses
       contemplated herein, or any portion or portions thereof, BofA shall
       pay interest to 724 on such overdue amount in the same currency as
       such overdue payment is payable both before and after demand, default,
       and judgment until actual payment in full at a rate per annum equal to
       ***** percent (****%) calculated on a three hundred and sixty-five (365)
       day year and payable daily in arrears with interest on overdue
       interest at the same said rate.

3.5    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BOFA.  Both now and on a continuing
       basis, BofA represents and warrants to 724 and acknowledges that 724 is
       relying upon the following representations and warranties:

               rights) constituting part of or distributed by 724 with the
               Licensed Technology necessary (other than patent rights) to

                       of its business; and

4.2    YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.

               (i)   724 represents and warrants that the Licensed Technology
                     and BofA Funded Improvements will be in Year 2000
                     Compliance, provided that all Third Party Materials are
                     also in Year 2000 Compliance.

               (ii)  "YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE" means before, during and after
                     January 1, 2000:

       (a)     all dates receivable by the Licensed Technology and BofA Funded
               Improvements (input data) will require a century indicator, all
               dates produced by the Licensed Technology and BofA Funded
               Improvements (output or results) will include a century
               indicator;

       (b)     date calculations involving either a single century or multiple
               centuries will neither cause an abnormal ending nor generate
               incorrect results;

       (c)     when sorting by date, all records will be sorted in accurate
               sequence; and when the date is used as a key, records will be
               read and written in accurate sequence;

       (d)     leap years will be determined by the following standard:

               (I)   if the year is evenly divisible by 4, it is a leap year,
                     except for years ending in 00; and

               (II)  a year ending in 00 is a leap year if it is evenly
                     divisible by 400; and

       (e)     in the case of hardware/equipment, the clock and calendar will
               advance correctly to year 2000 and beyond without intervention.

               (iii) Before delivery of the Licensed Technology and BofA Funded
                     Improvements to BofA, 724 will:

                     (a)    work with the group within BofA that is responsible
                            for testing Year 2000 Compliance to test whether the
                            Licensed Technology and BofA Funded Improvements are
                            in Year 2000 Compliance in accordance with BofA's
                            standards and procedures relating to such tests; and

                     (b)    provide BofA with a copy of any compliance testing
                            results promptly upon the request of BofA.

               (iv)  724 shall, upon receipt of notice from BofA referenced in
                     paragraph (v) in this Section 4.2 or when 724 otherwise
                     becomes aware of a condition or event that would evidence a
                     breach of the representation and warranty given by 724 in
                     paragraph (i) of this Section 4.2, use its best efforts to
                     promptly repair and correct the Licensed Technology and
                     BofA Funded Improvements, and deliver such repair or
                     correction to BofA, in order to make the Licensed
                     Technology and BofA Funded Improvements be in Year 2000
                     Compliance, except that 724's obligation to repair and
                     correct

<PAGE>

                                     -28-

                     any Third Party Materials included in the Licensed
                     Technology and BofA Funded Improvements that is not in
                     Year 2000 Compliance is limited to 724 using commercially
                     reasonable efforts to work with the supplier of the Third
                     Party Material to cause such supplier to make such Third
                     Party Material be in Year 2000 Compliance.  If 724 is
                     unable to cause a third party to make its Third Party
                     Material in Year 2000 Compliance, 724 will have the option
                     to replace such Third Party Material.

               (v)   BofA shall promptly notify 724 of any conditions or events
                     that would evidence a breach of the representation and
                     warranty given by 724 in paragraph (i) of this Section 4.2
                     and provide its reasonable assistance to 724 in order to
                     permit 724 to meet its obligation under paragraph (iv) of
                     this Section 4.2.

               (vi)  Time shall be of the essence for the performance of each
                     Party's obligations under this Section 4.2.

               (vii) The obligations of repair and correction contained in this
                     Section 4.2 shall be the sole remedies of BofA or its
                     Affiliates in connection with 724's obligations contained
                     in this Section 4.2.

4.3    CONTRACTUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF 724 IN
       FAVOUR OF BOFA.

       4.3.1   DIRECT DAMAGES.  724 covenants and agrees to pay, be liable for,
               compensate and save harmless each of BofA, its Affiliates and
               their respective directors, officers, employees and agents
               (except for Persons who are merely Customers of BofA or of an
               Affiliate of BofA, unless an indemnification obligation is
               specifically provided for herein) (collectively, the "BOFA
               GROUP") from and against any Claim in respect of, as a result of,
               or arising out of, the following matters (a "DIRECT CLAIM"):

               (i)   any non-fulfillment or non-performance of any covenant or
                     agreement by 724 (or those for whom it is responsible
                     herein or at law) contained in this Agreement or in any
                     other agreement, certificate, document or instrument given
                     pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "ANCILLARY
                     DOCUMENTS"); and

               (ii)  any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or
                     warranty of 724 contained in this Agreement or in any
                     Ancillary Document.

               Provided, however, that the Direct Claims which may be asserted
               by the BofA Group pursuant to this Section 4.3.1 shall not
               include any Claim which originates from any Person who is not
               itself a member of the BofA Group (a "BOFA THIRD PARTY CLAIM"),
               which BofA Third Party Claims are the subject matter of
               Section 4.3.2 hereof; and provided further that the Direct Claims
               contemplated by this Section 4.3.1 shall also not include any
               Claims which constitute an IP Infringement Claim (as defined in
               and which are the subject matter of Section 4.3.3 hereof).

<PAGE>

                                     -29-

               For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 4.3.1 are
               not to be construed as in any way limiting the remedies available
               to BofA in the event of a breach of this Agreement on the part of
               724, but rather a restatement of 724's responsibility in this
               regard and a confirmation of non-parties entitled to the benefit
               of 724's covenants and representations.

               With respect to any Claim pursuant to this Section 4.3.1, 724
               shall have a right to mitigate its damage and cure any such Claim
               in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6.4 MUTATIS
               MUTANDIS and no Claim may be advanced by BofA in connection with
               the subject matter of this Section until 724 shall have had a
               reasonable opportunity to so mitigate its damages or cure the
               subject matter of the Claim.

       4.3.2   INDIRECT DAMAGES.  724 covenants and agrees to be liable for,
               compensate, indemnify and save harmless each member of the BofA
               Group from and against the following BofA Third Party Claims
               (except to the extent that the substance of any such BofA Third
               Party Claim is an IP Infringement Claim, in which event the Claim
               shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.3.3 hereof):

               (i)   Claims made by Affiliates of BofA, Customers of BofA and
                     Customers of BofA's Affiliates against BofA or a member
                     of the BofA Group, provided that the direct and
                     proximate cause of the Claim (as established in a final
                     and non-appealable judgement of a court having
                     jurisdiction in the matter) is the Gross Negligence
                     (which the parties deem to mean, "the want of even scant
                     care or an extreme departure from the ordinary standard
                     of conduct"), recklessness or willful misconduct of 724
                     or its directors, officers, employees and independent
                     contractors in the performance of 724's obligations
                     herein.  For greater certainty and as provided below,
                     the maximum aggregate liability of 724 pursuant to
                     Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 during the entire term of this
                     Agreement (and whether made in one or more Claims) shall
                     be the lesser of: (I) $****; and (II) the aggregate
                     amount of license fees previously received by 724 from
                     BofA pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

       4.3.3   IP INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.  724 covenants and agrees to be liable
               for, compensate, indemnify and save harmless the BofA Group from
               and against any Claim in respect of, as a result of, or arising
               out of, the Licensed Technology or any of the BofA Funded
               Improvements infringing, or being alleged to infringe, any
               Intellectual Property Right of any Person (an "IP Infringement
               Claim").

               With respect to any Claim pursuant to this Section 4.3.3, 724
               shall have a right to mitigate its damage and cure any such Claim
               in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6.4, MUTATIS
               MUTANDIS, and no Claim may be advanced by BofA in connection with
               the subject matter of this Section until 724 shall have had a
               reasonable opportunity to so mitigate its damages or cure the
               subject matter of the Claim.

4.4    CONTRACTUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BOFA TO 724

       4.4.1   DIRECT DAMAGES.  BofA covenants and agrees to pay, be liable for,
               compensate and save harmless 724, its Affiliates and their
               respective directors, officers, employees and agents
               (collectively, the "724 Group") from and against any Claim which
               they may pay, sustain, suffer or incur in respect of, as a result
               of or arising out of the following matters:

               (i)   any non-fulfillment or non-performance of any covenant or
                     agreement by BofA (or those for whom it is responsible
                     herein or at law) contained in this Agreement or in any
                     Ancillary Document; and

               (ii)  any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty
                     of BofA contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary
                     Document.

               Provided, however, that the Direct Claims which may be asserted
               by the 724 Group pursuant to this Section 4.4.1 shall not include
               any Claim which originates from any Person who is not itself a
               member of the 724 Group (a "724 THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), which 724
               Third Party Claims are the subject matter of Section 4.4.2
               hereof; and provided further that the Direct Claims contemplated
               by this Section 4.4.1 shall also not include any Claims which
               constitute a Breach of Confidentiality Claim (as defined in and
               which are the subject matter of Section 4.4.3 hereof).

               For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 4.4.1 are
               not to be construed as in any way limiting the remedies available
               to 724 in the event of a breach of this Agreement on the part of
               BofA, but rather constitutes a restatement of BofA's
               responsibility in this regard and a confirmation of non-parties
               entitled to the benefit of BofA's covenants and representations.

       4.4.2   INDIRECT DAMAGES.  BofA covenants and agrees to be liable for,
               compensate, indemnify and save harmless each member of the 724
               Group from and against any Claim in respect of, as a result of,
               or arising out of the following 724 Third Party Claims (except to
               the extent that the substance of any such 724 Third Party Claim
               is a Breach of Confidentiality Claim, in which event the Claim
               shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.4.3 hereof):

               (i)   Claims made by Affiliates of BofA, Customers of BofA,
                     Customers of BofA's Affiliates (together with their
                     respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
                     independent contractors) and any other Person given access
                     to or otherwise obtaining or using the Licensed Technology
                     or the BofA Funded Improvements by or through BofA, its
                     Affiliates or those Persons contemplated by Section 2.1 or
                     otherwise by or through Persons for whom BofA or its
                     Affiliates are responsible pursuant to this Agreement or at
                     law (collectively with BofA and its directors, officers,
                     employees, agents and independent contractors, the "BOFA
                     LICENSEES") which relate in any way to this Agreement, the
                     Licensed Technology, the BofA Funded Improvements, the 724
                     Confidential Information and specifically including those

                     Section 4.3.2 above to the extent that the amount
                     thereof exceeds the liability of 724 in respect thereof,
                     if any, as provided herein;

               (ii)  Claims made by third party licensors of the Third Party
                     Materials in connection with the BofA Licensees' use,
                     sublicensing, copying, infringement, disclosure or other
                     involvement with the Third Party Materials, to the extent
                     that such Claims relate to a breach of the Intellectual
                     Property Rights of such third party licensors or a failure
                     to comply with the provisions of (or the agreements
                     contemplated by) Sections 2.6, 2.11 or 3.1(d) of this
                     Agreement;

               (iii) Claims made by or on behalf of a governmental authority or
                     entity in connection with the obligation to pay the taxes
                     and other charges contemplated by Section 3.3; and

               (iv)  Claims involving the failure by a BofA Licensee to comply
                     with the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof or Claims
                     involving a failure by BofA or its Affiliates or a BofA
                     Licensee to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 and
                     Section 7.6 hereof, with the effect that 724 shall have
                     failed or be alleged to have failed to collect and remit
                     applicable sales, use, excise, commodity or other taxes
                     (including goods and services tax and ORST).

       4.4.3   BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY CLAIMS.  BofA covenants and agrees to
               be liable for, compensate, indemnify and save harmless the 724
               Group from and against any Claim in respect of, as a result of,
               or arising out of any of the following matters (collectively, the
               "BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY CLAIMS"):

               (i)   any failure by a BofA Licensee (except for Persons who are
                     merely Customers of BofA or of an Affiliate of BofA, unless
                     an indemnification obligation is specifically provided for
                     herein) or a member of the BofA Group to comply with, or
                     other breach of the provisions of, this Agreement or any
                     Ancillary Document concerning or in connection with the
                     permitted/prohibited use or prohibited copying, disclosure
                     or dissemination or other use or involvement with 724's
                     Confidential Information, the Licensed Technology, the BofA
                     Funded Improvements or 724's Intellectual Property Rights;

               (ii)  any infringement by a BofA Licensee (except for Persons who
                     are merely Customers of BofA or of an Affiliate of BofA,
                     unless an indemnification obligation is specifically
                     provided for herein) or a member of the BofA Group of 724's
                     Intellectual Property Rights or any failure by such Persons
                     to take the positive step of notifying 724 promptly after
                     their becoming aware of an infringement of 724's
                     Intellectual Property Rights, as provided in this
                     Agreement; and

               (iii) any failure by a member of the BofA Group to obtain for the
                     benefit of 724 the contractual rights as against Persons
                     not a party to this Agreement that are contemplated by
                     Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.6 hereof or any failure by

                                     -32-

                     BofA or its Affiliates to assist 724 in the enforcement
                     of such rights as contemplated in such provisions.

               For greater certainty, notwithstanding any provision of this
               Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be construed
               so as to limit in any way the remedies available to 724 at law or
               pursuant to statute in connection with the subject matter of a
               Breach of Confidentiality Claim.

4.5    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF BOFA

       The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall be construed to apply generally
       to all Claims under or in respect of this Agreement by or on behalf of
       the 724 Group and not only pursuant to the provisions of Article IV. For
       greater certainty, no Claim for breach of the representations, warranties
       or covenants herein may be brought by any member of the 724 Group at law
       generally if such claim would be prohibited by this Agreement and, in
       particular, by this Section 4.5.

               (II) the portion of the License Fee Holdback paid or payable
               hereunder prior to, at the time of, or after the Claim is made,
               with the exception of the following obligations, which shall

               provision of this Agreement, with the exception of 724 Third
               Party Claims and Breach of Confidentiality Claims (for each of
               which BofA shall, subject to Section 4.3.2, be responsible
               without limitation), in no circumstances shall BofA be liable to
               724 for loss of profits, loss of revenue, failure to realize
               expected savings, loss of use or lack of availability of
               facilities (including computer resources and any stored data), or
               other commercial or economic loss of any kind whatsoever; nor
               shall BofA be liable to 724 for any indirect, special,

       The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be construed to apply generally
       to all Claims under or in respect of this Agreement by or on behalf of
       the BofA Group and not only pursuant to the provisions of Article 4. For
       greater certainty, no claim for breach of the representations, warranties

       4.6.3   PRODUCT WARRANTIES/ACCEPTANCE TESTING.  BofA expressly
               acknowledges and agrees that the use and operation of any
               Licensed Technology, BofA Funded Improvements, documentation,
               services or products that are the subject matter of this
               agreement, and the results obtained from such use and operation,
               are at the sole and exclusive risk of BofA, its Affiliates and
               its Customers and that, notwithstanding anything herein to the
               contrary (but subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.2, in the
               case of Gross Negligence, recklessness and willful misconduct,
               and then only to the extent of the specific limitation of
               liability contained herein), 724 assumes no liability or
               responsibility with respect to any reliance upon the results
               obtained, by BofA, its Affiliates and its Customers or any third
               party.  BofA acknowledges that, although 724 will use
               commercially reasonable efforts in its software development
               business to avoid programming errors, 724 does not represent and
               warrant that the operation of the Licensed Technology or BofA
               Funded Improvements will be error free or that the operation of
               the Licensed Technology will not be interrupted by reason of
               defect therein.  BofA acknowledges and agrees that the Acceptance
               Testing process (and the related License Fee Holdbacks)
               constitute its sole remedy in this regard and, further, that any
               programming errors not caught by the Acceptance Testing process
               are solely the risk of BofA, except as provided in Section 4.3.2.
               However, 724 has covenanted and agreed, pursuant to, and in
               accordance with, the Maintenance and Support Agreement, to
               (during the term of such Agreement) correct any defects and make
               any modifications which are necessary to cause the Licensed
               Technology to conform in all material respects to the
               Specifications.)

       4.6.4   MITIGATION OF DAMAGES/ABILITY TO CURE RE IP INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.
               If any Licensed Technology, BofA Funded Improvement or other
               Deliverable of 724 becomes, or in 724's reasonable opinion is
               likely to become, the subject of an IP Infringement Claim, 724
               may, at its option and expense: (i) obtain the right for the BofA
               Group to continue using the Licensed Technology, BofA Funded
               Improvement or other Deliverable in accordance with this
               Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify the Licensed Technology,
               BofA Funded Improvement or other Deliverable so that it becomes
               non-infringing, provided that any such replacement or modified
               Licensed Technology, BofA Funded Improvement or other Deliverable
               offers the functions that are required by this Agreement to be
               provided by the Licensed Technology, BofA Funded Improvement or
               other Deliverable being replaced.

               BofA covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
               to work with and assist 724 in obtaining, replacing or modifying
               the Licensed Technology so as to have a fully compliant version
               thereof on the market as soon as possible and having regard to
               724's need to minimize liability to the third party claimant.

4.7    GENERAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF BOTH BOFA AND 724.  724 and
       BofA expressly acknowledge and agree that the limitation of liability
       provisions of this Agreement reflect an informed voluntary allocation of
       the risks (known and unknown) that may exist in connection with the
       provision of the goods and services hereunder by 724, including the
       performance of the development and delivery of the Licensed Technology
       and the BofA Funded Improvements as provided herein, and that such
       voluntary risk allocation represents a material part of the Agreement
       reached between

<PAGE>

                                     -35-

       724 and BofA.  Except for Breach of Confidentiality Claims, if a
       matter is dealt with in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated or
       liable beyond the limits set forth in this Agreement regardless of the
       legal basis (contract, tort, or otherwise) for the claim.

4.8    EXCLUSION OF OTHER WARRANTIES.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED
       HEREIN, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS IN
       RELATION TO ANY LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, BofA FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS,
       DOCUMENTATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
       AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
       MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
       AND THOSE OTHERWISE ARISING BY STATUTE (INCLUDING PURSUANT TO THE SALE OF

       OTHERWISE IN LAW, OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

4.9    MATTERS RELATING TO THIRD PARTY MATERIALS AND THE LICENSORS THEREOF.
       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, 724 shall not
       be responsible or liable for any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
       incurred by BofA, its Affiliates or any BofA Licensee as a result of or
       in connection with, the use, disclosure, publication or other involvement
       with the Third Party Materials (with the exception of the required
       integration, as described in Section 2.14.9).

       If BofA, or any Affiliate thereof or any BofA Licensee becomes subject to
       a claim that the use of the Third Party Materials which have been
       sublicensed from 724 infringe any Intellectual Property Right of any
       Person, 724 shall exercise any contractual rights of indemnification that
       may have been given to it by the third party licensor of the Third Party
       Materials for its own benefit and the benefit of BofA, its Affiliates and
       the other BofA Licensees, as the case may be, to the extent allowable at
       law and/or pursuant to the provisions of the indemnification covenant.
       The cost associated with such action (including professional fees and
       disbursements, together with applicable taxes, shall be shared PRO RATA
       by the Persons (including 724) which shall receive the proceeds from such
       indemnification.

4.10   PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR DIRECT CLAIMS.  In the event of the
       assertion of a Claim pursuant to Sections 4.3.1 or 4.4.1, the dispute
       resolution procedures of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be applicable.

4.11   PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR OTHER CLAIMS.  In the event of a BofA
       Third party claim or a 724 Third Party Claim, the dispute resolution
       procedures of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be applicable. As regards the
       third party claimants, the following additional procedures shall be
       applicable. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in
       writing as soon as is reasonably practicable after being informed in
       writing that facts exist which may result in a Third Party Claim and in
       respect of which a right of indemnification given pursuant to Sections
       4.3.2, 4.3.3, 4.4.2 or 4.4.3  may apply.  The Indemnifying Party shall
       have the right to elect, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified
       Party within 10 days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice
       from the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim (30 days
       in respect of a Claim in respect of taxes or similar charges), at the
       sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, to

<PAGE>

                                     -36-

       participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or
       defence of the Third Party Claim, provided that:

               (i)   such will be done at all times in a diligent and bona fide
                     matter;

               (ii)  the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its
                     obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance
                     with the terms of this Agreement in respect of that Third
                     Party Claim; and

               (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable
                     out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party as
                     a result of such participation or assumption.

       If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified
       Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and
       shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or
       defence of such Third Party Claim at its own expense. If the Indemnifying
       Party does not elect to assume control of the defence of the Third Party
       Claim for any reason or, having elected to assume such control,
       thereafter fails to proceed with the settlement or defence of any such
       Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such
       control and its reasonable expenses incurred in defending the Claim shall
       be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall
       cooperate where necessary with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in
       connection with any Third Party Claim where control of the negotiation,
       settlement or defence of the Third Party Claim has been assumed by the
       Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the
       results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third
       Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control
       because it declines to grant the acknowledgement described in
       sub-paragraph (ii) above, in good faith, on the basis that it disputes
       its obligation, the basis for indemnification or the extent of its
       liability, the Indemnifying Party shall nonetheless have the right to
       participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party
       Claim at its sole expense.

4.12   ADDITIONAL RULES AND PROCEDURES CONCERNING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS.  The
       obligation of the parties to indemnify each other pursuant to this
       Article IV shall also be subject to the following:

       4.12.1  If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified
               Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any
               Person (a "Third Party") with respect to such Third Party Claim
               before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal
               proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the
               Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the
               Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for any such
               payment.  If the amount of any liability under the Third Party
               Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally
               determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the
               Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified
               Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the
               Third Party, pay such difference to the Indemnifying Party
               (together with any interest that may have been received by the
               Indemnified Party from the Third Party in connection with such
               refund);

<PAGE>

                                     -37-

       4.12.2  Except in the circumstances contemplated by Section 4.12.1 above,
               and whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the
               negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the
               Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party
               Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
               Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  A
               failure by the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to a
               written request by the Indemnified Party for consent for a period
               of five Business Days or more, shall be deemed a consent by the
               Indemnifying Party to such request;

       4.12.3  The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, in
               connection with any Third Party Claim, provide each other on an
               ongoing basis with all information which may be relevant to the
               other's liability hereunder and shall supply copies of all
               relevant documentation promptly as they become available (and the
               reasonable expenses of the Indemnified Party related to the
               compilation of such information and provision of copies of
               documentation shall be forthwith reimbursed by the Indemnifying
               Party);

       4.12.4  Notwithstanding Section 4.12.1, the Indemnifying Party shall not
               settle any Third Party Claim or conduct any related legal or
               administrative proceeding in a manner which would, in the opinion
               of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, have a material
               adverse impact on the Indemnified Party;

       4.12.5  The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder
               shall not be prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Party
               to meet the notice requirements provided for in this Article IV
               except to the extent that the delay in notification is the direct
               cause of an increase of cost or expense incurred by the
               Indemnifying Party or the direct cause of a loss of an effective
               defence available to the Indemnifying Party and then only to the
               extent of such increased cost or expense or the provable damages
               caused by the loss of such available defence;

       4.12.6  The Indemnified Party agrees to treat any indemnification payment
               made pursuant to this Agreement (including, in particular,
               Article IV) in the most tax effective manner available to the
               Indemnifying Party, which the Indemnifying Party may specify,
               provided that the Indemnified Party will not be prejudiced (as
               determined in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Party,
               acting in good faith and after consulting with its professional
               advisors) by any such treatment; and

       4.12.7  BofA acknowledges and agrees that any indemnification payment to
               be made pursuant to this Agreement (including, in particular,
               Article IV) shall constitute an adjustment to the license fees
               payable pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement and the parties
               shall, within a reasonable time of the payment or settlement by
               set-off of the indemnification payment in question, file all
               amendments to their current or past income tax returns as may be
               necessary to reflect the adjustment.

4.13   TRANSFER TAXES.  If the parties acting reasonably determine that any
       payment (the "Payment") made pursuant to this Article IV is subject to
       goods and services tax ("GST") or harmonized sales tax ("HST") pursuant
       to the ETA or is deemed by the ETA to be inclusive of GST, HST or Ontario
       retail sales tax ("ORST") pursuant to the ORSTA or is deemed by the ORSTA
       to be inclusive of ORST (or if any sales, excise or other similar

<PAGE>

                                     -38-

       tax or statutory charge is applicable under the relevant tax
       legislation(including pursuant to the laws of Canada or the United
       States or any political subdivision thereof) to such Payment), the
       amount of the Payment shall be increased by the amount of all such
       applicable taxes to the extent necessary to compensate the Indemnified
       Party for any net GST, HST, ORST or similar tax cost not recoverable
       as input tax credit, refund, rebate, offset or similar tax recoveries.

4.14   OTHER PARTIES TO BE INDEMNIFIED.  To the extent that any member of the
       BofA Group or the 724 Group not a party hereto is stated as the
       beneficiary of the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities
       herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that BofA (in the case of the
       BofA Group) and 724 (in the case of the 724 Group) is contracting for
       such representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities on behalf of
       and as agent and trustee for such other persons.

4.15   INTEREST.  The provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply MUTATIS MUTANDIS to
       any payments to be made pursuant to this Article IV.

                                     ARTICLE V
                       CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-SOLICITATION

5.1    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Each Party who receives Confidential
       Information (referred to in this section as the "Receiving Party") of the
       other Party or its Affiliates (referred to in this Section as the
       "Disclosing Party") shall hold such Confidential Information in trust and
       confidence for and on behalf of the Disclosing Party and shall not,
       except as expressly authorized hereunder or in writing by the Disclosing
       Party, use, copy or disclose to any third party any Confidential
       Information so received.  Each Receiving Party shall take appropriate
       action using commercially reasonable efforts (and, in any event, that are
       no less than the efforts used to protect its own Confidential
       Information) by instruction, agreement or otherwise to ensure that the
       Receiving Party, its Affiliates and shareholders, and each of their
       directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and customers are
       required to keep confidential all Confidential Information of the
       Disclosing Party which is disclosed to or comes into the possession of
       any of them.  The Receiving Party agrees to obtain from any independent
       contractor or other Person to whom disclosure of the Disclosing Party's
       Confidential Information is made in carrying out such purposes, a
       covenant not to further disclose or make use of any of the Disclosing
       Party's Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever.  For greater
       certainty, the provisions of this Section shall survive any termination
       of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

5.2    ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION.  724 acknowledges that BofA may distribute the
       Licensed Technology through the Internet or related communications
       systems.  Given the open nature and public accessibility of these
       systems, BofA's obligations with respect to confidentiality of the
       Licensed Technology are to take commercially reasonable precautions to
       protect the confidentiality of the Licensed Technology distributed
       through these systems.  The Parties agree to work together to address the
       issue of confidentiality of the Licensed Technology which is provided
       over the Internet.

                                     -39-

5.3    NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES.  During the term of this Agreement and the
       one year period thereafter, or such shorter period ending one year after
       BofA shall no longer be in the Continuing Alliance and shall not be
       further exercising the Preferred Customer Option (as provided in Section
       2.3) neither 724 nor any business group within BofA that works directly
       with 724 (referred to as "OBLIGEE" for the purposes of this Section)
       shall either individually or in partnership or in conjunction in any way
       with any person or persons, whether as principal, agent, consultant,
       shareholder, guarantor, creditor or in any other manner whatsoever
       actively solicit or endeavour to entice away from the other Obligee or
       its Affiliates, any person employed or retained as a full time consultant
       by the other Obligee or its Affiliates at the date that this Agreement is
       terminated for any reason, or who was so employed or retained at any time
       during the previous one year period or interfere in any way with the
       employment or other relationship between any such person and the other
       Obligee and its Affiliates.  The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not
       apply if any one of the events listed in Section 6.1 (Business
       Termination) occurs, and shall not apply to newspaper and any other
       generally available recruiting activities conducted by an Obligee
       provided that the Obligee does not expressly address any such recruiting
       activities at an employee of the other Obligee.

5.4    ATTORNEYS FEES.  If a legal action or arbitration proceeding is commenced
       in connection with any dispute under this Agreement, the prevailing
       party, as determined by the court or arbitrators, shall be entitled to
       attorneys' fees actually incurred, costs and necessary disbursements
       incurred in connection with such action or proceeding, including any
       applicable taxes thereon.

                                     ARTICLE VI
                                    TERMINATION

6.1    BUSINESS TERMINATION.  In addition to any other rights or remedies
       hereunder, either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by
       giving written notice to the other Party where the other Party: (i) makes
       any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) has a receiver
       and/or manager appointed over its assets (unless such appointment is
       being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings); (iii) becomes
       bankrupt or insolvent or commits an act of bankruptcy or takes or
       attempts to take advantage of any law or statute for the relief of
       bankrupt or insolvent debtors; (iv) has a court order made for its
       winding-up (unless such order is being appealed in good faith by
       effective proceedings which result in at least a temporary stay of such
       order); or (v) ceases to carry on business.

6.2    SURVIVAL OF LICENSE.  If a voluntary petition is commenced by 724 under
       the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, U.S. Code, referred to
       hereafter as the "Code") or a similar statute of another jurisdiction,
       724 becomes bankrupt, any substantial part of 724's property becomes
       subject to any levy, seizure, assignment, application or sale for or by
       any creditor or governmental agency or a receiver should be appointed for
       724 (in each case provided that 724 is not contesting such proceedings in
       good faith), 724 shall deliver to BofA,  promptly after Bank's request, a
       copy of the most recent version of the Licensed Technology, including the
       source code for such version, and all compilers and assemblers that 724
       has the right to deliver, along with the names, addresses and telephone
       numbers of the licensors of all Third Party Materials.  The parties agree
       that all

<PAGE>

                                     -40-

       software delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the documentation
       therefor constitute "intellectual property" under Section 101 of the
       Code (11 U.S.C. Section 101).  724 agrees that if it, as a
       debtor-in-possession, or if a trustee in bankruptcy for 724, in a case
       under the Code, rejects this Agreement, BofA may elect to retain its
       rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 365(n) of the Code.
       BofA, and any intellectual property rights, licenses or assignments from
       724 of which BofA may have the benefit, shall receive the full
       protection granted to BofA by applicable bankruptcy or receivership law,
       regardless of the jurisdiction in which 724 files a petition or goes
       into receivership.

                                    ARTICLE VII
                                      GENERAL

7.1    DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  The following procedure will be adhered to in all
       disputes arising under this Agreement which the Parties cannot resolve
       informally.  The aggrieved Party shall notify the other Party in writing
       of the nature of the dispute, with as much detail as possible about the
       deficient performance of the other Party.  The project managers shall
       meet (in person or by telephone), within seven days after the date of the
       written notification, to attempt to reach an agreement about the nature
       of the deficiency and the corrective action to be taken by the respective
       Parties.  The project managers shall each produce a report about the
       nature of the dispute in detail to their respective managements.  If the
       project managers are unable to agree on corrective action, senior
       managers of the Parties having authority to resolve the dispute without
       the further consent of any other person ("Management") shall meet or
       otherwise act to facilitate an agreement within 14 days of the date of
       the written notification.  If Management cannot resolve the dispute or
       agree upon a written plan of corrective action to do so within seven days
       after their initial meeting or other action, or if the agreed-upon
       completion dates in the written plan of corrective action are exceeded,
       either party may request arbitration as provided for in this Agreement.
       Except as otherwise specifically provided, neither Party shall initiate
       arbitration unless and until this dispute resolution procedure has been
       employed or waived.

7.2    ARBITRATION.  Either Party shall submit any dispute between the Parties
       arising from or relating to this Agreement, including any failure to
       agree on a matter requiring agreement, (but not any dispute relating to
       the ownership of Intellectual Property or the improper disclosure or use
       of the source code version of the Licensed Technology) to arbitration in
       accordance with the provisions of Schedule "A" hereto.

7.3    EXCUSABLE DELAYS.  Dates and times by which 724 or BofA is required to
       render performance hereunder shall be postponed automatically to the
       extent and for the period of time that 724 or BofA, as the case may be,
       is prevented from meeting them by reason of any causes beyond its
       reasonable control, provided the Party prevented from rendering
       performance notifies the other Party immediately and in detail of the
       commencement and nature of such a cause, and provided further than such
       Party uses its reasonable efforts to render performance in a timely
       manner utilizing to such end all resources reasonably required in the
       circumstances, including obtaining supplies or services from other
       sources if same are reasonably available.

7.4    TIME.  Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement.

       or to such other address or telecopier number to the attention of such
       other individuals as any Party may from time to time notify the others in
       accordance with this section.  Any Notice so given or made shall be
       deemed to have been given or made on the day of delivery if delivered as
       aforesaid or on the Business Day immediately following the day of
       Electronic Transmission.

7.6    ASSIGNMENT AND ENUREMENT.  No Party may assign any rights or benefits
       under this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of
       the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may assign this
       Agreement to an Affiliate provided that such Affiliate remains an
       Affiliate of the assigning Party and the original parties hereto remain
       liable as principal covenantor and provided, further, that no assignment
       may be made to an Affiliate which is a Competitor unless such Affiliate
       is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Bank of America Corporation.
       Provided, further, that BofA may not assign this Agreement to any Person
       that:  (a) is not a non-resident of Canada as that term is defined in the
       ETA; or (b) is registered pursuant to subdivision d of Part IX of the
       ETA.  In the event that an Affiliate of BofA has been assigned this
       Agreement and such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of BofA, such
       Affiliate shall, and BofA shall cause such Affiliate to, immediately
       reassign this Agreement to an Affiliate of BofA.  Subject to the
       foregoing, this Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding
       upon the Parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives,
       successors (including any successor by reason of amalgamation or
       statutory arrangement of any Party) and permitted assigns.  In all such
       circumstances, the assignor shall remain liable hereunder as principal
       debtor notwithstanding such assignment.

                                     -43-

7.7    FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each Party shall do such acts and shall execute such
       further documents, conveyances, deeds, assignments, transfers and the
       like, and will cause the doing of such acts and will cause the execution
       of such further documents as are within its power as any other Party may
       in writing at any time and from time to time reasonably request be done
       and or executed, in order to give full effect to the provisions of this
       Agreement.

7.8    EXPENSES.  Except as provided in Section 5.4, each Party shall pay all
       expenses it incurs in authorizing, preparing, executing and performing
       this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, including all
       fees and expenses of its legal counsel, bankers, investment bankers,
       brokers, accountants or other representatives or consultants.

7.9    REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  Subject to Section 4.7, the rights and remedies of
       the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to and
       not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law.

7.10   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered in several
       counterparts and by each of the Parties on the same or separate
       counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
       deemed to be an original and such counterparts together shall constitute
       one and the same instrument and shall be effective as of the date hereof.

7.11   WAIVER OF RIGHTS.  Any waiver of, or consent to depart from, the
       requirements of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only
       if it is in writing and signed by the Party giving it, and only in the
       specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been
       given.  No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in
       exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of
       such right.  No single or partial exercise of any such right shall
       preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of
       any other right.

7.12   RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.  This is an agreement between separate legal
       entities and neither is the agent or employee of the other for any
       purpose whatsoever.  The Parties do not intend to create a partnership or
       joint venture between themselves.  Neither Party shall have the right to
       bind the other to any agreement with a Person or to incur any obligation
       or liability on behalf of the other Party.

TO WITNESS their agreement, the Parties have duly executed this Agreement on
the date first written above.

                                    SCHEDULE "A"

                           ARBITRATION RULES OF PROCEDURE

1.0  DISPUTES COVERED BY THESE RULES.  The disputes to be covered by the
provisions of these Rules of Procedures (the "Rules") are those disputes
referred to in section 7.1 of the Agreement to which this Schedule "A" is
attached and which arise out of or relate to or are in connection with any of
the formation, interpretation, application, operation, and enforcement of the
Agreement.

1.1  EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.  Subject to the provisions of Article 1.6
(Governing Law), it shall be a condition precedent to the bringing of any legal
proceedings with respect to the disputes referred to in Section 7.2
(Arbitration), that the settlement procedure provided for in these Rules shall
have been followed and completed.

1.2  APPOINTMENT OF ARBITRATION BOARD

     (a)  If any Party wishes to have any matter under this Agreement
          arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
          it shall give notice ("Arbitration Notice") to the other Party
          specifying particulars of the matter or matters in dispute and
          proposing the name of its nominee.

     (b)  Arbitration shall be carried out by an Arbitration Board of three
          persons.  If the Parties agree in writing, the Arbitration Board
          may be composed of a single arbitrator.

     (c)  The Parties will attempt in good faith to agree to a mutually
          acceptable qualified Arbitration Board, that is willing to act,
          but if the Parties are unable to do so within 15 days of the
          giving of the Arbitration Notice, either Party may request the
          applicable courts of the Province of Ontario to do so.  Either
          Party may request that such courts, before making such
          appointment, consult with the President of the Computer Law
          Association as to the identity of suitable nominees as
          Arbitration Board.

     (d)  No member of the Arbitration Board may be a director, officer, an
          employee or shareholder of either Party or of any affiliate or
          associate of that Party or any associate of any such director,
          officer, employee or shareholder or any other person who has a
          direct financial interest in such Party or in any associate or
          affiliate of such Party or of a director, officer, employee, or
          shareholder of such Party or who has a direct financial interest
          in the matter in dispute.  The terms "associate" and "affiliate"
          shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms by the
          BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT  (Ontario) on the date hereof.

     (e)  The expenses of the Arbitration Board shall be borne equally by
          the Parties.

1.3  QUALIFICATIONS OF ARBITRATION BOARD.  The Arbitration Board shall consist
of three individuals, one of which shall have not less than 10 years experience
as a licensed practicing lawyer, and one of which shall have not less than 10
years experience in or with the computer software industry.  If the Arbitration
Board consists of only one person, as agreed by the Parties, then the sole
arbitrator shall have not less than 10 years experience in or with the computer

<PAGE>

                                    -2-

software industry and must have acted as an arbitrator or mediator within the
previous 5 years. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Arbitration Board shall be at arm's length from both Parties and no member of
the Arbitration Board shall be a member of the audit or legal firm or firms
who advise either Party, nor shall he/she be a person who is otherwise
regularly retained by such Parties.

1.4  SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN STATEMENTS

     (a)  Within 20 days of the appointment of the Arbitration Board, the
          Party initiating the arbitration (the "Claimant") shall send the
          other Party (the "Respondent") a Statement of Claim setting out
          in sufficient detail the facts and any contentions of law on
          which it relies, and the relief that it claims.

     (b)  Within 20 days of the receipt of the Statement of Claim, the
          Respondent shall send the Claimant a Statement of Defence stating
          in sufficient detail which of the facts and contentions of law in
          the Statement of Claim it admits or denies, on what grounds, and
          on what other facts and contentions of law he relies.

     (c)  Within 20 days of receipt of the Statement of Defence, the
          Claimant may send the Respondent a Statement of Reply.

     (d)  All Statements of Claim, Defence and Reply shall be accompanied
          by copies (or, if they are especially voluminous, lists) of all
          essential documents on which the Party concerned relies and which
          have not previously been submitted by any Party, and (where
          practicable) by any relevant samples.

     (e)  After submission of all the Statements, the Arbitration Board
          will give directions for the further conduct of the arbitration.

1.5  MEETINGS AND HEARINGS

     (a)  The arbitration shall take place in the Municipality of
          Metropolitan Toronto, Ontario or in such other place as the
          Claimant and the Respondent shall agree upon in writing.  The
          arbitration shall be conducted in English unless otherwise agreed
          by such Parties and the Arbitration Board.  Subject to any
          adjournments which the Arbitration Board allows, the final
          hearing will be continued on successive working days until it is
          concluded.

     (b)  All meetings and hearings will be in private unless the Parties
          otherwise agree.

     (c)  Any Party may be represented at any meetings or hearings by legal
          counsel.

     (d)  Each Party may examine, cross-examine and re-examine all
          witnesses at the arbitration.

1.6  POWERS OF ARBITRATOR.  By submitting a dispute to settlement under these
Rules, the Parties shall be taken to have conferred on the Arbitration Board the
following jurisdiction and powers, to be exercised by the Arbitration Board so
far as the relevant law allows, and in its absolute and unfettered discretion,
if the Arbitration Board shall judge it to be expedient for the

<PAGE>

                                    -3-

purpose of ensuring the just, expeditious, economical and final determination
of the dispute.  The Arbitration Board shall have jurisdiction to:

     (a)  determine any question of fact and law (including, in particular,
          responsibility for the direct claims and the indemnification
          claims provided for in the Agreement, as well as the quantum and
          nature of the damages, loss, liability, expense or other subject
          matter of the claim);

     (b)  determine any question as to its own jurisdiction;

     (c)  determine any question of good faith, dishonesty or fraud arising
          in the dispute;

     (d)  order any Party to furnish such further details of the Party's
          case, in fact or in law, as it may require;

     (e)  proceed notwithstanding the failure or refusal of any Party to
          comply with these Rules or with its orders or directions, or to
          attend any meeting or hearing, but only after giving that Party
          written notice that it intends to do so;

     (f)  order the Parties to produce to the Arbitration Board, and to
          each other for inspection, and to supply copies of, any documents
          in their possession or power which it determines to be relevant.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Board shall allow
          discovery only to the extent of a single request for production
          of documents; oral depositions or other discovery requests shall
          not be permitted unless the Arbitration Board finds and informs
          the Parties that denial of such requests would be manifestly
          unjust;

     (g)  receive and take into account such written or oral evidence as it
          shall determine to be relevant, whether or not strictly
          admissible in law;

     (h)  hold meetings and hearings (at which the Parties may be
          represented by legal counsel) and consider written and oral
          evidence and make his/her award (including any interim award
          considered necessary by the Arbitration Board, and the final
          award) in Ontario, and, with the concurrence of the Parties
          thereto, elsewhere; and

     (i)  make any other interim or final orders which it considers to be
          appropriate in all the circumstances for any of the above
          purposes.

     In addition, the Arbitration Board shall have such further jurisdiction
     and powers as may be allowed to it by the INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL
     ARBITRATIONS ACT (Ontario), the Agreement, the specific submission
     referred to herein, the Rules of the Institute and the arbitral laws of
     any place in which it holds hearings or in which witnesses attend, and of
     any place in which it gives any directions or makes any orders or any
     award.

1.7  THE AWARD.  The Arbitration Board shall include in its award an order as
to the payment of the costs of the proceedings and reasonable counsel fees
(including all applicable taxes under the relevant tax legislation), and,
subject to the discretion of the Arbitration Board, costs will follow success
unless, in the opinion of the Arbitration Board, there is a compelling reason to
depart from such result.  Any Party ordered to pay costs may avail itself of any
procedure for the

<PAGE>

                                    -4-

taxing of costs, provided, however, that the Parties specifically agreed that
the officer taxing such costs need not be bound by any statutory scale of
costs.

The Arbitration Board will make its decision in writing and, unless the Parties
otherwise agree, the Arbitration Board's reasons will be set out in the award.
The Arbitration Board will send such award to the Parties as soon as practicable
after the conclusion of the proceedings.  The award shall be final and binding
on the Parties and shall not be subject to any appeal or review procedure
whatsoever, provided that the Arbitration Board followed the Rules in good
faith.  The Arbitration Board shall reconsider its findings once at the request
and expense of a Party, but in such event shall limit the Parties to a single
memorandum stating any relevant new evidence, points and authorities, unless
doing so would be manifestly unjust.

1.8  ACCESS TO COURTS FOR ENFORCEMENT AND INTERIM REMEDIES.  The Parties
consent to the award of the Arbitration Board being entered in any Court having
jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcement.  In addition, if it appears to any
Party that the Arbitration Board lacks the power to give effective interim
relief, either Party may apply to any appropriate Court for such relief.

1.9  CONFIDENTIALITY.  All meetings and hearings of or by the Arbitration
Board shall be in private.  All matters in dispute, all claims, submissions,
evidence and findings, and the award itself (collectively, the "Information")
shall be kept confidential by the Arbitration Board, and no information
regarding any of the foregoing will be released to any third Party or otherwise
made public without the written consent of both Parties, except as otherwise
contemplated herein and except for information which is not Confidential
Information.

BANK OF AMERICA INITIAL LAUNCH

    Bank of America intends to leverage the existing 724 Solutions
functionality to provide online banking services on the channels noted below.
As the functionality and channels are expanded by 724 Solutions, BofA expects
to implement these improvements, as they become available later in 1999.

DELIVERABLES (1)

    The implementation approach for the first deliverable is to reuse
existing 724 Solutions functionality and limit the scope of changes to
presentation and data differences. The scope of changes will be identified by
724 Solutions, working in conjunction with BofA, and delivered to BofA as
indicated below.

BANK OF AMERICA POST LAUNCH AND R&D

    724 Solutions will extend the functionality implemented in the first
launch of 1999 in conjunction with conducting joint R&D with the Bank of
America, with the expectation that some of these efforts will result in new
releases commencing in the year 2000.

    The priority assigned to the content of these releases, the direction
expected of R&D efforts, and the timing of both will be agreed to jointly by
724 Solutions and the Bank of America. Many of the items scoped by these
deliverables are forward-looking and are subject to:

    - Market readiness (installed base and deployed infrastructure)

    - Technology readiness; technologies on which the deliverables are
      dependent must be sufficiently mature and generally available

    The next two sections describe areas which 724 Solutions considers to be
important both from its own analyses as well as from feedback received during
introductory meetings already held between 724 Solutions and the Bank of
America.

DELIVERABLES (1)

    This section describes the scope of the first deliverables of 724
Solutions' technology for the Bank of America in the year 2000. The date for
publication of - and agreement to - a functional specification addressing
these deliverables is TBD. The date of final delivery of the deliverables by
724 Solutions to the Bank of America is also TBD.

CHANNELS (1)

functionality for the following channels/devices:

MODEL BANK ALIGNMENT

    724 Solutions, under the direction of Bank of America, will develop a
product integration strategy to support the efforts of the Bank of America in
the area of its Model Bank. This strategy will require effort from both Bank
of America and the 724 Solutions implementation team. This will include:

    - Interface with GCIF and Customer Profile as appropriate

    - Interface with Contact History

    - Access ID directory integration (PKI and PMI implications)

    - Process integration (how will our solution support the re-engineered
      Model Bank processes, and the people that constitute them)
