8.   DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

     8.1  PROCEDURES.  It is the intent of the parties that all disputes arising
under this Agreement be resolved expeditiously, amicably, and at the level
within each party's organization that is most knowledgeable about the disputed
issue.  The parties understand and agree that the procedures outlined in this
Paragraph 8 are not intended to supplant the routine handling of inquiries and
complaints through informal contact with customer service representatives or
other designated personnel of the parties.  Accordingly, for purposes of the
procedures set forth in this paragraph, a "DISPUTE" is a disagreement that the
parties have been unable to resolve by the normal and routine channels
ordinarily used for such matters.  Before any dispute arising under this
Agreement, other than as provided in paragraph 8.5 below, may be submitted to
arbitration, the parties shall first follow the informal and escalating
procedures set forth below.

<PAGE>

     (a)  The complaining party's representative will notify the other party's
representative in writing of the dispute, and the non-complaining party will
exercise good faith efforts to resolve the matter as expeditiously as possible.

     (b)  In the event that such matter remains unresolved thirty (30) days
after the delivery of the complainant party's written notice, a senior
representative of each party shall meet or confer within ten (10) business days
of a request for such a meeting or conference by either party to resolve such
matter.

     (c)  In the event that the meeting or conference specified in (b) above
does not resolve such matter, the senior officer of each party shall meet or
confer within ten (10) business days of the request for such a meeting or
conference by either party to discuss and agree upon a mutually satisfactory
resolution of such matter.

     (d)  If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the dispute after
following the above procedure, or if either party fails to participate when
requested, the parties may proceed in accordance with paragraph 8.2 below.

     8.2  BINDING ARBITRATION.  Except as provided in paragraph 8.5 below, any
dispute arising under this Agreement shall, after utilizing the procedures in
paragraph 8.1, be resolved by final and binding arbitration in Los Angeles,
California, before a single arbitrator selected by, and in accordance with, the
rules of commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association or as
otherwise provided in Paragraph 11.6.  Each party shall bear its own costs in
the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and each party shall bear
one-half of the cost of the arbitrator.

     8.3  ARBITRATOR'S AUTHORITY.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to
award such damages as are not prohibited by this Agreement and may, in addition
and in a proper case, declare rights and order specific performance, but only in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     8.4  ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRATOR'S AWARD.  Any party may apply to a court of
general jurisdiction to enforce an arbitrator's award, and if enforcement is
ordered, the party against which the order is issued shall pay the costs and
expenses of the other party in obtaining such order, including reasonable
attorneys' fees.

     8.5  ACCESS TO COURTS.   Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 8.1
and 8.2 above, any action by Netgateway to enforce its rights under Paragraphs
10.1 or 10.3 of this Agreement or to enjoin any infringement of the same by
Subscriber may, at Netgateway's election, be commenced in the state or federal
courts of Los Angeles, California, and Subscriber consents to personal
jurisdiction and venue in such courts for such actions.

9.   TERM AND TERMINATION.

     9.1    TERM.  This Agreement will be effective on the date first above
written and will terminate thirty (30) months ("INITIAL TERM") from the date
Subscriber begins processing live data through Netgateway ICC-TM-, unless
earlier terminated according to the provisions of this Section 9.  This
Agreement will automatically renew for an additional term of three (3) years
unless a party hereto elects not to so renew and notifies the other party in
writing of such election by a date, which is six (6) months prior to the
lapse of the Initial Term.

     9.2    TERMINATION.  Either party will have the right to terminate this
Agreement if:  (i) the other party breaches any material term or condition of
this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice of the same, except in the case of failure to pay
fees, which failure must be cured within five (5) days after receipt of written
notice from Netgateway; (ii) the other party becomes the subject of a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary proceeding relating to insolvency,
receivership, liquidation or composition for the benefit of creditors; or (iii)
the other party becomes the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or
any involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or
composition for the benefit of creditors, if such petition or proceeding is not
dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing.

     9.3  NO LIABILITY FOR TERMINATION.  Neither party will be liable to the
other for any termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms.

     9.4  EFFECT OF TERMINATION.  Upon the effective date of expiration or
termination of this Agreement: (a) Netgateway shall immediately cease providing
eCommerce Services; (b) any and all payment obligations of Subscriber under this
Agreement shall become due immediately; and (c) within thirty (30) days after
such expiration or termination, each party shall return all Confidential
Information of the other party in its possession at the time of expiration or
termination and shall not make or retain any copies of such Confidential
Information, except as required to comply with any applicable legal or
accounting record keeping requirements.

     9.5  SURVIVAL. The following provisions shall survive any expiration or
termination of the Agreement: Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

10.   USE OF ECOMMERCE SERVICES -- RULES AND REGULATIONS.

     10.1  PROPRIETARY SYSTEMS.  Subscriber acknowledges that the software
systems utilized by Netgateway in the provision of eCommerce Services hereunder,
including the Netgateway ICC-TM-, all enhancements thereto and all screens and
formats used in connection therewith, are the exclusive proprietary property of
Netgateway, and Subscriber shall not publish, disclose, display, provide access
to or otherwise make available any Netgateway eCommerce software or products
thereof, or any screens, formats, reports or printouts used, provided, produced
or supplied from or in connection therewith, to any person or entity other than
an employee of Subscriber without the prior written consent of, and on terms
acceptable to, Netgateway, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Subscriber may disclose to a governmental or regulatory
agency or to customers of Subscriber any information expressly prepared and
acknowledged in writing by Netgateway as having been prepared for disclosure to
such governmental or regulatory agency or to such customers.  Neither party
shall disclose Subscriber's use of eCommerce Services in any advertising or
promotional materials without the prior written consent to such use, and
approval of such materials, by the other.

     10.2  USE OF SERVICES PERSONAL TO SUBSCRIBER.  Subscriber agrees that it
will use the services provided hereunder only in connection with its eCommerce
business, and it will not, without the express written permission of Netgateway,
sell, lease or otherwise provide or make available eCommerce Services to any
third party.

     10.3  SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS.  The obligations of this Section 10 shall
survive termination of this Agreement.  Subscriber understands that the
unauthorized publication or disclosure of any of Netgateway' software or copies
thereof, or the unauthorized use of eCommerce Services would cause irreparable
harm to Netgateway for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  Subscriber
therefore agrees that in the event of such unauthorized disclosure or use,
Netgateway may, at its discretion and at Subscriber's expense, terminate this
Agreement, obtain immediate injunctive relief in a court of competent
jurisdiction, or take such other steps as it deems necessary to protect its
rights.  If Netgateway, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, determines that
there is a material risk of such unauthorized disclosure or use, it may demand
immediate assurances, satisfactory to Netgateway, that there will be no such
unauthorized disclosure or use.  In the absence of such assurance, Netgateway
may immediately terminate this Agreement and take such other actions as it deems
necessary.  The rights of Netgateway hereunder are in addition to any other
remedies provided by law.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     11.1  FORCE MAJEURE.  Except for the obligation to pay money, neither party
will be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement
due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including act of war, acts of
God, earthquake, flood, embargo, riot, sabotage, labor shortage or dispute,
governmental act or failure of the Internet, provided that the delaying party:
(a) gives the other party prompt notice of such cause, and (b) uses its
reasonable commercial efforts to correct promptly such failure or delay in
performance.

     11.2  NO LEASE.  This Agreement is a services agreement and is not intended
to, and will not constitute, a lease of any real or personal property.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it has been granted only a license
to use Netgateway's ICC-TM- and any equipment provided by Netgateway in
accordance with this Agreement, (ii) Subscriber has not been granted any real
property interest in the Netgateway's ICC-TM-, and (iii) Subscriber has no
rights as a tenant or otherwise under any real property or landlord/tenant laws,
regulations or ordinances.

     11.3  MARKETING.  Subscriber agrees that Netgateway may refer to Subscriber
by trade name and trademark, and may briefly describe Subscriber's business, in
Netgateway's marketing materials and web site. Subscriber hereby grants
Netgateway a license to use any Subscriber trade names and trademarks solely in
connection with the rights granted to Netgateway pursuant to this Section 11.3.

     11.4 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.  Subscriber will not export, re-export,
transfer or make available, whether directly or indirectly, any regulated item
or information to anyone outside the U.S. in connection with this Agreement
without first complying with all export control laws and regulations which may
be imposed by the U.S. Government and any country or organization of nations
within whose jurisdiction Subscriber operates or does business.


     11.5  NON-SOLICITATION.  During the period beginning on the Operational
Data and ending on the first anniversary of the termination or expiration of
this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Subscriber agrees that it will
not, and will ensure that its affiliates do not, directly or indirectly,
solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any persons employed by
Netgateway during such period.


     11.6 GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION, SEVERABILITY; WAIVER.  This
Agreement is made under and will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California (without regard to that body of law
controlling conflicts of law) and specifically excluding from application to
this Agreement that law known as the United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods.  Any dispute relating to the terms, interpretation
or performance of this Agreement (other than claims for preliminary injunctive
relief or other pre-judgment remedies) will be resolved at the request of either
party through binding arbitration.  Arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles
County, California, under the rules and procedures of the Judicial Arbitration
and Mediation Society ("JAMS").  The parties will request that JAMS appoint a
single arbitrator possessing knowledge of online services agreements; PROVIDED,

the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a tribunal of competent
jurisdiction to be contrary to the law, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect.  The waiver of any breach or
default of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach
or default, and will not act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party.
