                               CUSTOMER AGREEMENT

Thank you for doing business with us. We strive to provide you with high quality
products and services. If, at any time, you have any questions or problems, or
are not completely satisfied, please let us know. Our goal is to do our best for
you.

This VECTRIX Customer Agreement (called the "Agreement") covers business
transactions you (Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. or "HIG") may do with us to
license software and acquire services.

This Agreement and its applicable Attachments and Transaction Documents are the
complete agreement regarding these transactions, and replace any prior oral or
written communications between us.

PART I - GENERAL

1.1    DEFINITIONS

       COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.

       COMMON SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.

       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is Software and all information proprietary to
       the disclosing party contained in or related to the disclosing party's
       Software, materials or products including, but not limited to, HIG's
       sales methods, customer lists, market surveys, marketing plans,
       identities of customers and hostesses, financial plans, and sales
       information provided by the disclosing party hereunder or created by or
       proprietary to the disclosing party, the disclosing party's software
       development tools, and calculations and data formats which have been
       created by the disclosing party or are proprietary to the disclosing
       party. Confidential Information excludes such information which is in the
       public domain at the time of its disclosure to the other party; which has
       been rightfully received from a third party without restrictions, or
       which the disclosing party has agreed in writing to permit you to
       disclose to third parties.

       CONSENT is the prior, express, and written consent of a party and which
       may be given or withheld in such party's sole discretion.

       CUSTOM SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.

       DATE OF INSTALLATION is the following:

       1.     for Software, the latest of:

              a.     the day after its testing period ends;

              b.     the second business day after the Software's standard
                     transit allowance period;

              c.     the date, specified in a Transaction Document, on which we
                     authorize you to make a copy of the Software; or

              d.     the date you distribute a copy of a chargeable component in
                     support of your authorized use of the Software.

       DESIGNATED HARDWARE is either 1) the hardware on which you will use
       Software for processing and which we require you to identify to us by
       type/model and serial number, or 2) any hardware on which you use the
       Software if we do not require you to provide this identification to us.

       ENTERPRISE is any legal entity (such as a corporation) and the
       subsidiaries it owns by more than 50 percent.

       MATERIALS are literary works or other works of authorship (such as
       Software listings, Software tools, documentation, reports, drawings and
       similar works) that we may deliver to you as part of a Service. The term
       "Materials" does not include Software or licensed internal code or source
       code.

       PRODUCT is Software or any other tangible item you purchase from us.

       SOFTWARE is the following, including the original and all whole or
       partial copies:

       1.     hardware-readable instructions and data;

                                                                  -----------
                                       2                          Vectrix.com

                                                                  -----------
                                                                  Client

<PAGE>   3

       2.     components;

       3.     audio-visual or multi-media content (such as images, text,
              recordings, or pictures);

       4.     printed content;

       5.     related licensed materials.

       The term "Software" includes VECTRIX Software and any non-VECTRIX
       Software that we may provide to you.

       SERVICE is performance of a task, provision of advice and counsel,
       assistance, or access to a resource (including, but not limited to,
       access to an information database, advertising, transactions) we make
       available to you.

       SPECIFICATIONS is a document that provides information specific to a
       Product. For VECTRIX Software, we call it "Licensed Software
       Specifications" or "License Information."

       SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT is the Designated Hardware and Software
       with which Software is designed to operate, as described in the
       Software's Specifications.

       TRANSACTION DOCUMENT is defined in Section 1.2.

1.2    AGREEMENT STRUCTURE

       ATTACHMENTS

       Some Products and Services have terms in addition to those we specify in
       this Agreement. We provide the additional terms in documents called
       "Attachments," which are also part of this Agreement. Provisions to the
       contrary notwithstanding, no Attachment shall be binding on HIG unless
       HIG has given its Consent to such Attachment.

       TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

       For each business transaction, we will provide you with the appropriate
       "Transaction Documents" that confirm the specific details of the
       transaction. Provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, no Transaction
       Document shall be binding on HIG unless HIG has given its Consent to such
       Transaction Document. The following are examples of Transaction Documents
       with examples of the information they may contain:

       1.     agenda (contract-period duration, start date and total quantity);

       2.     exhibits (eligible Products by category);

       3.     invoices (item, quantity, and amount due);

       4.     proposal (scope of Services, responsibilities, deliverables,
              completion criteria, estimated schedule or contract period, and
              charges);

       5.     the Schedules hereto.

       CONFLICTING TERMS

       If there is a conflict among the terms in the various documents, those of
       this Agreement prevail over a Transaction Document and an Attachment; and
       the terms of a Transaction Document prevail over those of an Attachment.

       In addition to the provisions of Section 1.12 Agreement Termination, HIG
       may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice in the
       event that HIG and Vectrix are unable to agree in writing to any
       Attachment or Transaction Document.

1.3    CHARGES AND PAYMENT

       The amount payable for a Product or Service will be based on one or more
       of the following types of charges:

       1.     one-time (for example, the price of Software);

       2.     recurring (for example, a periodic charge for Custom Software or
              measured use of Services);

                                                                  -----------
                                       3                          Vectrix.com

                                                                  -----------
                                                                  Client

<PAGE>   4
       3.     time and materials (for example, charges for hourly Services); or

       4.     fixed price (for example, a specific amount agreed to between us
              for a custom Service).

       Depending on the particular Product, Service, or circumstance, additional
       charges may apply (such as special handling or travel related expenses).
       We will inform you in advance whenever additional charges apply.
       Provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall additional
       charges apply without HIG's Consent.

       Recurring charges for a Product begin on its date of installation.
       Charges for Services are billed as expressly agreed in writing by the
       parties.

       Amounts due, as set forth in Transaction Documents, shall be billed by
       bi-weekly invoice and shall be payable within thirty (30) days of receipt
       of invoice. You agree to pay accordingly including interest on any late
       payment at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) of the late portion of the
       amount due.

       If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding those based
       on our net income, upon any transaction under this Agreement, then you
       agree to pay that amount as specified in the invoice or supply exemption
       documentation. You are responsible for personal property taxes for each
       Product from the date we ship it to you.

       One-time and recurring charges may be based on measurements of actual or
       authorized use (for example, number of users or processor size for
       Software, meter readings for maintenance Services.) You agree to provide
       actual usage data if we specify. If you make changes to your environment
       that impact use charges (for example, change processor size or
       configuration for Software), you agree to promptly notify us and pay any
       applicable charges. Recurring charges will be adjusted accordingly.
       Unless we agree otherwise, we do not give credits or refunds for charges
       already due or paid. In the event that we change the basis of
       measurement, our terms for changing charges will apply.

       If you make any modifications to the Products or Services set forth in
       Schedule A hereto that result in an extension in the Launch Date or if
       you otherwise extend the Launch Date, we may increase one-time charges
       relating to such modification upon prior notice. However, an increase to
       one-time charges does not apply to you if: 1) we receive your order
       before the announcement date of the increase and 2) one of the following
       occurs within three months after our receipt of your order:

       1.     we make the Software available to you;

       2.     you make an authorized copy of Software or distribute a chargeable
              component of the Software to Designated Hardware; or

       3.     the Software's increased use charge becomes due.

       You receive the benefit of a decrease in charges for amounts that become
       due on or after the effective date of the decrease.

       Services for which you prepay must be used within the applicable contract
       period. Unless we specify otherwise, we do not give credits or refunds
       for unused prepaid Services.

1.4    CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT TERMS

       In order to maintain flexibility in our business relationship, we may
       change the terms of this Agreement by giving you one (1) month's written
       notice. However, these changes are not retroactive. They apply as of 30
       days after HIG's receipt of such notice, and only to new orders and
       provided, that upon any and all such changes, HIG may terminate this
       Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice. Part 1 of this Agreement
       contains additional provisions for changes to the terms of individual
       Service transactions.

       For a change to be valid, both of us must sign it. Additional or
       different terms in any written communication from either party (such as
       an order or invoice) are void.

       Vectrix may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer its service
       obligations or duties under this Agreement. Any attempt to do so is void.
       Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vectrix may subcontract a Service, or any
       part of it, to subcontractors selected by Vectrix.

1.5    MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES

       Both of us agree that under this Agreement:

       1.     except as provided in Section 3.3, neither of us grants the other
              the right to use its trademarks, trade names, or other
              designations in any promotion or publication without prior written
              consent;

                                                                  -----------
                                       4                          Vectrix.com

                                                                  -----------
                                                                  Client

       2.     each is free to enter into similar agreements with others;

       3.     each grants the other only the licenses and rights specified
              herein. No other licenses or rights (including licenses or rights
              under patents) are granted;

       4.     each may communicate with the other by electronic means and such
              communication is acceptable as a signed writing. An identification
              code (called a "user ID") contained in an electronic document is
              sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the document's
              authenticity, so long as such electronic communication is
              subsequently confirmed by facsimile transmission;

       5.     each will allow the other reasonable opportunity to comply before
              it claims that the other has not met its obligations;

              obligations due to causes beyond our control;

       7.     This Agreement may be transferred or assigned in the event of a
              change of control, merger or acquisition of either party.

1.6    YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES

       You agree:

       1.     Except as otherwise provided, not to assign, or otherwise
              transfer, this Agreement or your rights under this Agreement,
              delegate your obligations, or resell any Service, without our
              prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
              Any attempt to do so is void;

       2.     that you are responsible for the results obtained from the use of
              the Products and Services; and

       3.     to comply with all applicable export and import laws and
              regulations.

1.7    PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS

       For purposes of this Section 1.7, the term "Product" includes Materials
       (alone or in combination with Products we provide to you as a system),
       licensed internal code or source code.

       Except as expressly provided herein, if a third party claims that a
       Product (including without limitation Materials) we manufactured and
       provided to you infringes that party's patent or copyright or
       misappropriates a trade secret, we will defend you, and HIG's employees,
       directors, officers and representatives against that claim at our expense
       and pay all damage, loss, judgment, liability or expense (including, but
       not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees) provided that you:

       1.     promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and

       2.     allow us to control, and cooperate with us, in the defense and any
              related settlement negotiations.

       If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, you agree to permit
       us to enable you to continue to use the Product, or to modify it without
       materially changing the functionality, or replace it with one that is at
       least functionally equivalent. If we determine that none of these
       alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to return the Product to
       us on our written request. We will then give you a credit equal to:

       1.     for Software, the amount paid by you

       2.     for Materials, the amount you paid us for the Materials.

       This is our entire obligation to you regarding any claim of infringement.

       CLAIMS FOR WHICH WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE:

       We have no obligation regarding any claim based an any of the following:

       1.     anything you provide which is incorporated into a Product,

       2.     your modification of a Product, or Software's use in other than
              its Specified Operating Environment,

       3.     the combination, operation, or use of a Product with other
              products not provided by us as a system, or the combination,
              operation, or use of a Product with any product, data, or
              apparatus that we did not provide, or

       4.     Infringement by a non-VECTRIX product alone, as opposed to its
              combination with Products we provide to you as a system.

                                                                  -----------

                                                                  -----------
                                                                  Client

       PAID BY HIG TO VECTRIX UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

       1.9 INDEMNIFICATION

       Both parties agree to indemnify and hold the other party and the other
       party's employees, directors, officers and representatives harmless from
       any damage, loss, judgment, liability or expense (including reasonable
       attorney's fees) arising out of any claim, suit, action or judgment
       asserted based on a party's acts and/or omissions that result in a breach
       of this Agreement. In the event a party is notified of an action of any
       type in which, based on the previous sentence, the other party shall be
       indemnified by the first party, the first party agrees to indemnify the
       other party and promptly notify them of such damage, loss, judgment,
       liability or expense in writing and give authority and full information
       and assistance for the defense of the same by counsel mutually agreed to.

       disclosed by the other party in connection with this Agreement, except as

       levels during the notice period.

       Either of us may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material
       breach of this Agreement and the failure to remedy such breach within
       thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is given by the
       non-breaching party.

       Any terms of this Agreement, which by their nature extend beyond the
       Agreement termination, remain in effect until fulfilled and apply to both

              a.     the charges remaining to complete the contract period

       Materials we deliver through Service termination.

       eligible Product on three months' written notice to you. If we withdraw a
       Service for which you have prepaid and we have not yet fully provided it
       to you, we will give you a prorated refund.

       Any terms which by their nature extend beyond termination or withdrawal
       remain in effect until fulfilled and apply to respective successors and
       permitted assignees.
