                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Annuncio Standard Support Program Terms and Conditions ("Standard Support
Program") are referenced in and incorporated into the License Agreement between
Annuncio and Licensee ("Agreement"). Any capitalized terms not specifically
defined in herein have the same meaning as in the Agreement.

1.   STANDARD SUPPORT PROGRAM: As part of its Software Support Program, Annuncio
     ------------------------
will provide Licensee with the following services in consideration for payment
of the applicable Annual Maintenance Fee:

     a)  Software Maintenance: All Patches, Maintenance Releases and Major
         --------------------
Releases for the licensed Software and supporting Documentation will be provided
to Licensee.

     b)  Unlimited Incidents: Designated Support Contacts can make as many
         -------------------
telephone or e-mail requests as required to address Incidents under the Support
Program.

     c)  Telephone Support: Annuncio provides toll-free telephone support for
         -----------------
use of its Software for Licensee's Designated Support Contacts. Except for
Annuncio holidays, telephone support is provided from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time.

     d)  Remote Access and Diagnostics: Annuncio will utilize remote dial-in
         -----------------------------
capabilities via modem to expedite the evaluation and of problems reported by
Licensee. If Licensee does not grant Annuncio access to dial-in capabilities via
modem, Licensee agrees to pay for any fees and expenses incurred while providing
on-site services at Annuncio's then-current consulting rates.

     e)  Watch Dog: Licensee can utilize the Watch Dog utility to determine if
         ---------
key components of Annuncio's Software are operating correctly.

     f)  Escalation Process: Reported problems will be tracked as part of a
         ------------------
standard escalation process which provides Licensee with access to the status of
the problem and, if necessary, an escalation procedure.

2.   EXCLUSIONS: Annuncio will not have an obligation to support: i)
     ----------
substantially altered, damaged or modified Software; ii) Incidents caused by
Licensee's negligence, hardware malfunction, or other causes beyond Annuncio's
reasonable control; iii) Software installed on a Designated System not supported
by Annuncio; and iv) third party software. Annuncio also will not support any
previous version of the Software for more than 6 months after the release of a
subsequent Maintenance Release or Major Release.

3.   PAYMENT: The fee for the initial term of the Standard Support Program will
     -------
be as set forth in the License Agreement and exhibits thereto. Thereafter, if
Licensee chooses to continue receiving support under the Standard Support
Program, Licensee shall pay Annuncio the then-current Annual Support Program
Fee. The applicable Annual Support Program Fees will be billed on an annual
basis upon renewal of the Support Program. Payment shall be due thirty (30) days
form renewal. Unless Licensee has provided proof of tax-exempt status, Licensee
is responsible for all taxes associated with the Support Program, except for
those taxes based on Annuncio's income. Should Licensee elect not to renew the
Support Program and subsequently requests to reinstate the Support Program,
Annuncio will reinstate the Support Program only after Licensee pays Annuncio

                             ANNUNCIO SOFTWARE, INC
<PAGE>

the then-current Annual Support Program Fee plus all cumulative fees that would
have been payable had Licensee not suspended the Support Program.

4.   TERM AND TERMINATION: Subject to Licensee's payment of the Annual Support
     --------------------
Program Fee, the initial support period (a "Support Program Period") shall begin
upon the License Effective Date and end one year from such date. After such
initial Support Program Period and for as long as Annuncio is offering a Support
Program for the Annuncio Software, Licensee shall continue to receive the
Support Program for successive twelve (12)-month periods in consideration for
payment of Annuncio's then current Annual Support Program Fee for such Support
Program Periods, unless the Support Program is terminated by either party.
Either party may elect to discontinue the Support Program by written
notification delivered to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the
renewal date. If Licensee fails to make payment pursuant to the section entitled
"Payment," or Licensee breaches the Support Program provisions and such breach
has not been cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of the
breach, Annuncio may suspend or cancel the Support Program. Annuncio may modify
the Support Program on an annual basis to reflect current market condition upon
reasonable notice.

5.   CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES:
     -------------------------

a)  Customer shall assist Annuncio in the diagnosis of a reported software
problem by providing information and documentation and by performing reasonable
tests requested by Annuncio's Support Program personnel.

b)  Licensee shall implement any Patch within sixty (60) days of its
availability. Customer's failure to implement any such Patch will relieve
Annuncio of its obligations to provide support for problems that would have been
corrected by such implementation.

c)  Licensee shall provide Designated Support Contacts who are competent and
capable of maintaining and understanding the operation of the licensed Software.

6.   DEFINITIONS:
     -----------

A.  Designated Support Contacts means the person(s), to a maximum of four
individuals, who may contact Annuncio under the Support Program. Two of the
Support Contacts shall be designated by Licensee as marketing support contacts,
one of whom will be the primary marketing contact and one of whom will be the
back-up marketing contact. Likewise, two of the Support Contacts shall be
designated by Licensee as technical support contacts, one of whom will be the
primary technical contact and one of whom will be the back-up technical contact.
A back-up support contact will access Support Services under this Agreement only
if the primary marketing or technical support contact, as applicable, is
unavailable. Licensee shall not designate anyone a Support Contact, either
Marketing or Technical, unless that individual has attended the applicable
training course(s) for the Annuncio Software.

B.  Incident means a Software malfunction that degrades or affects Licensee's
use of the Software.

C.  Maintenance Releases means a release of Software containing an accumulation
of Patches and possibly limited new functionality.

software code to address an Incident.

      (c)    The use or distribution of unaltered Software Program and
      Documentation, or the exercise of the licenses granted hereunder, will not

             detail the nature of the Loss, and, if known, the amount, or an
             estimate of the amount, of the liability arising therefrom.
             Licensee shall provide to Tidestone as promptly as practicable
             thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by
             Tidestone to support and verify the claim asserted, provided that,
             in so doing, it may restrict or condition any disclosure in the
             interest of preserving privileges of importance in any foreseeable
             litigation.

             (2)    If the facts pertaining to the Loss arise out of the claim
             of a third party, or if there is any claim against a third party
             available by virtue of the circumstances of the Loss, Tidestone may
             assume the defense or the prosecution thereof, including the
             employment of counsel or accountants, at its cost and expense.
             Licensee shall have the right to employ counsel separate from
             counsel employed by Tidestone in any such action and to participate
             therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by
             Licensee shall be at its expense. Tidestone shall have the right to
             determine and adopt (or, in the case of a proposal by Licensee, to
             approve) a settlement of such matter in its reasonable discretion.
             Tidestone shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim
             effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be
             unreasonably withheld. Whether or not Tidestone chooses to so
             defend or prosecute such claim, Licensee and Tidestone shall
             cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish
             such records, information and testimony, and attend such
             conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals,
             as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

             (3)    If such a claim arises, or in either party's judgment is
             likely to arise, Licensee agrees to allow Tidestone, at Tidestone's
             option, to either (i) procure the right to permit the continued
             exercise of the rights and licenses in the Software Program and
             Documentation granted under this Agreement; (ii) replace or modify
             the Software Program and Documentation so they become non-
             infringing, while affording equivalent performance; or (iii) as its
             sole obligation, terminate the license for the infringing Software
             Program and upon return thereof by Licensee, refund the unearned
             portion of any license fees paid by the Licensee for the remainder
             of the current term hereof.

             (4)    No indemnification shall be payable by Tidestone to Licensee
             with respect to matters as to which Tidestone has not received
             written notice required under this Paragraph (c) from Licensee
             within three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement.
             Tidestone shall have no indemnity obligation for claims of
             infringement resulting from any combination, operation or use of
             the Software Program and Documentation, or any components thereof,
             with any software programs or data not supplied by Tidestone if
             such infringement would have been avoided by use of the Software
             Program and Documentation alone.

             Licensee acknowledges and agrees that this Paragraph (c) is the
             exclusive remedy of Licensee for damages for breach of warranty or
             representations contained in this Paragraph (c).

4.02  LIMITATION OF WARRANTY. Except as specifically set forth herein, the
Software Program is provided "as is" for Licensee's use subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and, as between the parties, Licensee assumes
responsibility for determining the suitability of the Software Program for its
use in Products and for results obtained. Tidestone makes no warranty that all
Errors have been or can be eliminated from the Software Program or
Documentation, and Tidestone shall in no event be responsible for losses of any
kind resulting from the use of the Software Program or the Documentation,
including, but not limited to, any liability for business expense, machine
downtime or damages caused to Licensee or Licensee's customers by any
deficiency, defect, error or malfunction. In no event shall Tidestone be liable
to Licensee or Licensee's customers for any indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages (including lost profits), even if Tidestone has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH
HEREIN, TIDESTONE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM OR DOCUMENTATION OR ANY USE THEREOF,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR USE OR THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM OR DOCUMENTATION.

4.03  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Tidestone's total liability for any claim arising
as a result of, or related to, the Software Program, whether under infringement
indemnity, in contract, in tort (including negligence or strict liability),
under any warranty, or otherwise, shall in no event exceed the consideration
paid by Licensee to Tidestone for the rights and licenses granted under this
Agreement.

4.04  CONFLICT WITH APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions limit the right to
exclude or limit implied warranties and liabilities. Nothing contained in this
Section 4 shall be applied or interpreted in such a manner as to be inconsistent
with or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations of such
jurisdictions.

4.05  LICENSEE'S LIMITED WARRANTY; LICENSEE'S INDEMNITY. Licensee warrants:

      (a)    It is a corporation duly incorporated, organized under the laws of
      the state in which it is incorporated and has all requisite authority,
      corporate and otherwise, to own its assets, to carry on its business as
      now conducted, to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to consummate
      the transactions contemplated herein, and that all such matters have been
      duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions.

      (b)    It shall, at its expense, defend, indemnify and hold harmless
      Tidestone and its affiliates from and against any claim or action arising
      from Licensee's activities, including without limitation in its relations
      with vendors, distributors and end-users, other than claims covered by
      Tidestone's indemnity of Licensee as provided in Section 4.01.

SECTION 5.  TERM AND TERMINATION

5.01  TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date and
continue for a period of years as specified in Exhibit A, unless sooner
terminated under Section 5.02.

5.02  TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

      (a)    Should either party commit a material breach in its obligations
      hereunder, the other party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by
      written notice to the other party. Such notice shall identify and describe
      the default upon which termination is based. The defaulting party shall
      have thirty (30) days from the effective delivery of the notice to cure
      such default, which, if effected, shall prevent termination by virtue of
      such default.

      (b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.02(a), and notwithstanding any other
      provision of this Agreement, should Licensee fail to pay any amounts due
      to Tidestone under Section 2 and Exhibit A promptly when due and payable,
      then Tidestone, at its option, may declare all unpaid fees and royalties
      immediately due and payable and may terminate this Agreement and any
      rights and licenses that otherwise would survive termination hereof.
      Licensee shall have thirty (30) days from the effective delivery of the
      notice to cure such default by full payment to Tidestone of all unpaid
      amounts (including any penalties and/or interest due under the General
      Payment Provisions of Exhibit A) which, if effected, shall prevent
      termination by virtue of such nonpayment. In the event of such termination
      for nonpayment, all rights and licenses granted Licensee hereunder shall
      terminate, and Tidestone shall have all available remedies at law or in
      equity, including injunction, damages (direct, consequential or punitive),
      and the right to recover attorney fees and all costs of suit.

5.03  OBLIGATIONS AFTER TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. Upon termination of this
Agreement, Licensee will, at Licensee's option, either return to Tidestone or
destroy all copies of the Software Program and Documentation then in its
possession; provided, however, that Licensee is hereby granted a limited license
for a period of three (3) months following the date of termination to distribute
Products containing the Software Program which were already in Licensee's
inventory as of the date of termination. Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days
after the date of such termination (or the expiration of such three (3) month
period if applicable), furnish Tidestone with a certificate of compliance in
accordance with this Section. The parties agree that Tidestone shall have the
right to enforce the obligations arising under this Section by specific
performance and to enjoin or compel Licensee through injunctive relief. The
obligations of this Section and those additional obligations of Licensee as set
forth in Sections 1.03(b),

                                       3

sublicensees and resellers that they comply with, all applicable laws,
regulations, rulings and executive orders of the United States relating to the

not directly or indirectly export or re-export any Products containing the
Software Program unless it has obtained a license to do so from the U.S. Office
of Export Administration if such a license is required.

6.02  WITHHOLDING TAXES. If any applicable law or treaty requires Licensee to
withhold income tax of Tidestone from payments to be made to Tidestone, Licensee
shall comply with such withholding requirements but will notify Tidestone in
advance of such withholding and will furnish Tidestone with all such documents
needed by Tidestone to reclaim such tax or to claim an appropriate tax credit.

SECTION 7.  SOURCE CODE ESCROW

      (a)    Upon receipt of full payment of all license fees due upon execution
      of this Agreement as set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit A and written
      notice from Licensee of their desire to do so, Tidestone agrees to deposit
      into escrow one copy of the Software Program source code on. CD-ROM or
      magnetic media. Licensee agrees to pay the annual fee to the third party
      escrow firm in connection with being a beneficiary to the source code
      escrow agreement. Tidestone hereby acknowledges that the escrow agreement
      is not an "executory" agreement within the meaning of U.S. bankruptcy laws
      and shall not be subject to rejection by any debtor in possession,
      bankruptcy trustee or the like.

      (b)    In the event Tidestone becomes subject to dissolution, or the
      liquidation of Tidestone's assets, or the filing of a petition in
      bankruptcy or insolvency or for an arrangement of reorganization by, for
      or against Tidestone, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
      should Tidestone commit any action for or in bankruptcy or become
      insolvent, then Licensee may elect to receive from escrow, pursuant to the
      escrow agreement referred to in Section 7(a) above, the source code.

      (c)    If Licensee gains access to the Software Program source code under
      the provisions of Section 7(b) above, Tidestone will thereby effectively
      grant to Licensee a nonexclusive, personal, nontransferable (except under
      Section 8.08), worldwide, royalty-free license for the term of this
      Agreement to use and modify such source code to support, correct and
      enhance the Software Program. Licensee agrees to treat such Source Code as
      confidential and proprietary information in accordance with Section 1.05.

relating to the Software Program, including the user and reference manuals for
the Software Program.

"Error" shall mean a defect in the Software Program, reproducible by Tidestone,
that prevents the Software Program from functioning in material conformity with
the Specifications. The parties acknowledge that no computer software program,
including the Software Program, can be designed Error-free. Each Error can be
classified at one of the following levels of severity:

      LEVEL 1:  FATAL ERROR. The error causes program termination, loss of
      control or hangs the operating system.

      LEVEL 2:  PROBLEM. PROGRAM control can be maintained, but features or
      functions perform incorrectly or are unavailable, causing inconvenience to
      the user.

      LEVEL 3:  INCONVENIENCE/ENHANCEMENT. Minor ERRORS affecting small user
      populations, typically resolved by a workaround, or requests for new
      features or functionality.

"New Versions" shall mean changes to the Software Program which add significant
new features, enhancements and functionality, or that alter the application
programming interface (API) for the Software Program. New Versions are
identified by a change in the version number before the first decimal point,
such as 2.01.02 to 3.01.01.

"Product" shall mean the computer programs designated in Exhibit B that are
completed in marketable form by Licensee and are offered by Licensee to its
customers or potential customers, in executable code form only, and that contain
both (a) the Software Program as an insubstantial component of the Product, and
(b) a component or components (other than the Software Program) that comprise
the chief marketability and functionality of the Product. The term "Product"
shall not include any computer programs that Licensee acquires separately from a
third party, or in a direct or indirect purchase of substantially all of the
stock or assets of a third party, if at any time during the twelve (12) months
preceding their acquisition such computer programs incorporated Software Program
licensed by Tidestone.

"Software Program" shall mean the computer software provided by Tidestone under
this Agreement, as specified in the Specifications.

"Specifications" shall mean the listing of Software Program and a description of
the application programming interface (API) set forth in Exhibit B to this
Agreement which shall constitute the complete and exclusive specifications for
defining the Software Program.

"Updates" shall mean modifications or revisions to the Software Program, other
than New Versions or Upgrades, which correct Errors, but which do not alter the
functionality of the Software Program or add new functions thereto. Updates are
identified by a change in the version number after the second decimal point,
such as 2.01.02 to 2.01.03.

"Upgrades" shall mean changes or additions to the Software Program, other than
New Versions, that add new functions, new features or improve performance of the
Software Program by changes in system design or coding. Upgrades are identified

                                 AND PAYMENTS

1.    TERM.

The initial term of this Agreement shall be two (2) years. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall automatically be renewed for one (1) additional year unless
Licensee sends written notice to Tidestone at least ninety (90) days prior to
the expiration of the initial term stating their desire to not renew the
Agreement.

2.    EARNED CONTINUING ROYALTIES.

With respect to all transfers for value by Licensee of Products that contain the
Software Program to distributors, dealers and customers of any class, Licensee
shall pay to Tidestone fixed earned royalties with respect to such transfers.
Licensee shall be permitted to distribute a reasonable number of copies of the
Product for demonstration, testing and promotional purposes on a royalty-free
basis. Earned royalties with respect to Products so transferred during each
calendar quarter shall be paid to Tidestone within forty-five (45) days after
the last day of such calendar quarter. Licensee shall pay Tidestone such earned
royalties determined as either 1) when Licensee licenses their Product on a fee
based license for unlimited use by their licensees, Licensee will pay Tidestone
a license fee of $500.00 for each single CPU server license sold by Licensee or
$1,000.00 for CPU server licenses of two or greater CPU's or servers sold by
Licensee; or, 2) when Licensee licenses their Product on an annual license fee
basis, Licensee will pay Tidestone a license fee of $175.00 per year for a
single CPU server annual license sold by the Licensee or $350.00 per year for a
CPU annual server license of two or greater CPU's or servers licensed. Licensee
shall pay to Tidestone the following nonrefundable annual minimum royalties:

*    $10,000  Upon execution of this Agreement
*    $14,000  On or before the first day of the anniversary of the execution of
              this Agreement
*    $14,000  On or before the first day of the second anniversary of this
              Agreement (unless such additional year is not renewed as per
              Section 1 of this Exhibit A)

Licensee shall receive credit for the payment of each such annual minimum
royalty against the earned royalties due Tidestone under this Section for the
four quarters following payment.

With each earned royalty payment, Licensee shall provide to Tidestone a written
statement which verifies the number of Products transferred, the revenues
received on account of all such transfers, and the calculations of the earned
royalties due and payable to Tidestone as a result of such transfers. Upon
Tidestone's request, at mutually agreeable times, but not more frequently than
once each calendar year, Tidestone, or an agent or accounting firm chosen by
Tidestone, shall be provided reasonable access during normal business hours to
the books and records of Licensee for purposes of audit of royalties and
payments due and verification of Licensee's Products so transferred. Such
records shall include, but not be limited to, all information concerning the
numbers of copies of Products so transferred, the names of transferors and
shipping and delivery information, and the revenues of such Products. Persons
conducting the audit shall be provided an opportunity to interview any employees
of Licensee who have engaged in the development, marketing or distribution of
Products, or in the making of copies shipped or delivered, and to inspect
production and inventories as necessary to accomplish such purpose. In the event
such audit reveals an underpayment of royalties, Licensee shall be obligated to
pay Tidestone all sums past due, plus interest at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month from the date such payment was due to the date such
payment is actually made, plus the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Tidestone in conducting such audit.

All license fees paid pursuant to this Section shall be non-refundable.

before the due date for such amount. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated by
Tidestone, all amounts due to Tidestone hereunder shall be paid by Licensee to
the address specified in the signature block of the Agreement. In the event
Licensee is overdue in making payments to Tidestone, Tidestone may suspend
performance until Licensee has made the required payments. Licensee shall not be
entitled by reason of any claim against Tidestone to withhold payment or to
claim any right of set-off against any payment due to Tidestone.
