IVT shall be deemed  accepted and shall become binding on IVT only when accepted
in writing by IVT, or when IVT ships the Licensed  Software  ordered  under that
Program Order. If IVT accepts a Program Order by shipment,  the order shall bind
IVT only as to the Licensed Software actually shipped.  Failure of IVT to accept
a Program Order within ten (10) days shall  constitute  rejection of the Program
Order.

         3.3 Controlling Terms. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
apply to each Program Order accepted  and/or  Licensed  Software  shipped by IVT
hereunder.  Any terms or conditions appearing on the face or reverse side of any
Program  Order,  purchase  order,  acknowledgment,   or  confirmation  that  are
different from or in addition to those required  hereunder  shall not be binding
on the  parties,  even if  signed  and  returned,  unless  both  parties  hereto
expressly agree in a separate writing to be bound by such separate or additional
terms and conditions.

         3.4  Cancellation.  IVT  reserves  the right to cancel or  suspend  any
orders placed by Reseller and accepted by IVT, or to refuse or to delay shipment
of any Licensed Software described in those orders, if Reseller fails to: (a) to
pay when due any amount  required by this Agreement or any invoice;  (b) to meet
any credit or financial requirements that IVT, in its reasonable discretion, may
establish;  or (c) to comply with the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement.
Once IVT accepts an order, Reseller may not cancel the order unless IVT fails to
ship the Licensed  Software  described in the Program  Order within  thirty days
after accepting the order, and Reseller  provides written notice of cancellation
to IVT before IVT ships any of the Licensed Software described in the order that
Reseller desires to cancel.

         3.5 Shipment of Licensed Software. IVT shall ship all Licensed Software
ordered under this Agreement F.O.B. IVT's San Francisco facility, or other point
of shipment  within the United States  designated by IVT. Risk of loss or damage
to  copies of the  Licensed  Software  shall  pass to  Reseller  at the point of
shipment.  All  shipping  and in  transit  insurance  charges  shall  be paid by
Reseller.  Reseller  shall  specify in its  Program  Order the mode of  shipment
and/or  carrier for each  order.  In the  absence of written  instructions  from
Reseller, IVT shall determine the carrier and/or mode of shipment.

         3.6 IVT Product  Delivery  Schedule and Delays.  Although IVT shall use
reasonable efforts to meet Reseller's  requested delivery schedules for Licensed
Software,  IVT shall not be liable for any loss,  damage or expense  due to late
delivery.

                                   Section 4

                   MINIMUM COMMITMENTS, DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS

         4.1 Product and Price List. A copy of IVT's  current  Product and Price
List for the  Licensed  Software is attached as Exhibit A. IVT agrees to provide
to Reseller  the pricing  reflected in Exhibit A during the initial Term of this
Agreement.  Reseller acknowledges and accepts that IVT may thereafter change its
prices to Reseller at any time,  on sixty (60) days written  notice to Reseller.
No price change  shall  affect any  completed  Program  Order that  Reseller has
submitted and IVT has accepted in accordance with this Agreement  before IVT has
notified Reseller of the price change. Further, no price change shall affect any
written bid or proposal for or  including  the  Licensed  Software  submitted by
Reseller to an End-User before IVT has notified Reseller of the price change.

         4.2 Minimum  Commitment.  Reseller  agrees to order  during the initial
term of this  Agreement  the number of copies of the Licensed  Software,  net of
cancellations  and  returns,  set forth in the Minimum  Commitment  and Discount
Schedule attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement.

         4.3 Price to Reseller.  Subject to Section  4.4,  the price  payable by
Reseller for Licensed  Software  ordered  pursuant to this Agreement  during the
initial term of this Agreement shall be the applicable price in the then-current
Product and Price List,  less the discount  specified in the Minimum  Commitment
and Discount Schedule.

         4.4 Periodic Review of Progress Toward Minimum Commitment.  During each
annual term of the Agreement,  IVT will review quarterly the volume of orders by
Reseller,  net of cancellations and returns,  against the Minimum Commitment for
that period. If the cumulative net dollar volume ordered, as a percentage of the
Minimum  Commitment  for that  period,  does not equal or exceed the  applicable
value from the following table,  IVT shall so notify Reseller.  If Reseller does
not within thirty (30) days of such  notification  order  sufficient  volumes of
Licensed  Software to meet or exceed the  applicable  value from the table below
for that  period,  IVT may, in its  discretion,  reduce  Reseller's  discount to
levels (including no discount) commensurate with the actual volume of Reseller's
orders.

                                               Percentage of Commitment

IVT will discuss at any time with Reseller  adjustment of the Minimum Commitment
and  applicable  discounts,  based  on  Reseller's  forecasted  orders,  but any
adjustment  requires IVT's prior written  consent.  For any renewal term of this
Agreement, IVT and Reseller shall agree on the applicable Minimum Commitment and
discounts.  Reseller  may not  assume any  discount  will be  continued  for any
renewal term.

         4.5 Initial  Order.  Within  fifteen (15) days of the Effective Date of
this Agreement,  Reseller shall submit to IVT a blanket purchase order for fifty
(50) copies of the  Licensed  Software.  IVT shall ship and invoice for Licensed
Software  only upon  receipt of a  completed  Program  Order as provided in this
Agreement.

         4.6  Payment.  Reseller  shall  pay for all  Licensed  Software  within
forty-five  (45) days  after the date of IVT's  invoice  for such  products.  In
addition to all other  available  rights or remedies,  IVT reserves the right to
declare all sums  immediately due and payable upon written notice to Reseller if
Reseller  fails to pay when due any  amounts  due under  this  Agreement  or any
invoice.  Interest  shall  accrue on any  amounts not paid when due at an annual
rate of eighteen (18) percent.

         4.7 Taxes.  With the sole exception of taxes based on IVT's net income,
Reseller shall pay all sales,  use, excise,  value added or other taxes that may
arise out of Reseller's distribution or installation of Licensed Software.

         4.8 End User  Pricing.  Reseller is free to determine  its own End User
prices for the Licensed  Software.  Although IVT may publish  suggested End User
prices, these are suggestions only and are not binding in any way on Reseller.

                                   Section 5

                        PROPERTY RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS

         5.1 Ownership.  Reseller  acknowledges that the Licensed Software,  all
enhancements,  corrections and modifications to the Software (regardless whether
made  by IVT,  Reseller  or  anyone  else),  all  Intellectual  Property  Rights
protecting  or  pertaining  to any aspect of the Software (or any  enhancements,
corrections  or  modifications),  the  Documentation,  all  Trademarks  and  all
goodwill  associated  with the  Trademarks  are and  shall  remain  the sole and
exclusive property of IVT and, where applicable, IVT's suppliers. This Agreement
does not convey  title or  ownership  to Reseller or any of its  customers,  but
instead  gives  Reseller  only the  limited  rights  set forth in Section 2. IVT
reserves all rights not expressly granted by this Agreement.

         5.2 Use Restrictions. Except as set forth in Section 2, Reseller has no
right to use, make, sublicense,  modify,  distribute or copy originals or copies
of the Software or the Documentation or to permit anyone else to do so.

         5.3  Proprietary  Notices.  Reseller  shall not remove or  obscure  any
patent,  copyright or trademark or other intellectual  property notices that may
appear on any part of the Licensed Software or the Documentation.

         5.4 Trade Secrets. Reseller acknowledges that the Licensed Software, in
its source code form, contains valuable trade secrets belonging to IVT. Reseller
may not reverse  engineer,  decompile,  disassemble  or otherwise  translate any
Software.  Reseller may not copy any concepts,  ideas or techniques demonstrated
by the use of the Software.

                                                       [IVT-CLOVER CONFIDENTIAL]

         5.5 IVT Name and  Trademarks.  Reseller  shall make no  representations
concerning  IVT  or  the  Licensed  Software  that  are  not  set  forth  in the
Documentation.  Reseller shall indicate IVT's ownership of all Trademarks in any
advertising,  promotional or other written or readable  material  containing any
Trademarks  that  Reseller  may  create  during the Term of this  Agreement.  If
Reseller  reproduces  IVT's logo, it shall do so only in the format furnished by
IVT.  Reseller may use the Trademarks only for purposes of promoting and selling
Reseller  products and services that use the Licensed Software and shall make no
other use of the  Trademarks,  or use any  trademark  or trade  name that may be
confusingly  similar  to any of the  Trademarks,  without  IVT's  prior  written
approval.  Reseller may not apply for  registration  of the  Trademarks,  or any
trademark  or  trade  name  that  may  be  confusingly  similar  to  any  of the
Trademarks,  under the laws of any  jurisdiction.  Reseller  shall  obtain IVT's
prior  approval,  which  IVT shall not deny  unreasonably,  of all  advertising,
publicity  or  promotion  that uses any  Trademarks  or  discusses  the Licensed
Software in any way.

         5.6 Irreparable Harm. Reseller  acknowledges that money damages may not
be an adequate  remedy for any breach or violation of any  requirement set forth
in Section 5 of this  Agreement  and that any such breach or violation may leave
IVT  without an adequate  remedy at law.  Reseller  therefore  agrees  that,  in
addition  to any other  remedies  available  at law,  in  equity  or under  this
Agreement, IVT shall be entitled to obtain temporary,  preliminary and permanent
injunctive  relief,  without  bond,  from a court of competent  jurisdiction  to
restrain any such breach or violation.


                                   Section 6

of any actual or suspected  violation of IVT's  intellectual  property rights in
the  Licensed  Software.  Reseller  shall  notify  IVT  of any  claim,  judicial
proceeding or governmental  proceeding  involving the Licensed Software no later

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       DEFINITIONS

         1.1 "Burstware Conductor" means the computer program included among the
Licensed  Software  that is  designed  to operate on a hardware  server and that
manages the distribution of audio and/or video content from one or more hardware
servers on which the Burstware  Server  software has been installed to Burstware
Players  installed on client  computers.  Each  Burstware  Conductor  requires a
Burstware License Key configured for the host name or IP address of the computer
on which the Burstware Conductor is installed.

         1.2  "Burstware  License  Key"  means the  unique,  encrypted  software
program provided by IVT (only upon payment of the applicable  license fees) that
is  designed  to prevent use of the  Licensed  Software  beyond the scope of the
license paid for by Licensee by  limiting,  as  appropriate,  and in addition to
other limits, the number of Concurrent Burstware Player Connections,  the amount
of Managed  Bandwidth,  and the number of Burstware  Servers that the  Burstware
Conductor  can manage and the number of copies of the Burstware  Conductor  that
can be used.

         1.3 "Burstware  Player" means the computer  program  included among the
Licensed  Software that operates on a single-user  client  computer,  permitting
that  computer to receive and play audio and/or video  content  delivered by the
Burstware Server software.

         1.4 "Burstware  Server" means the computer  program  included among the
Licensed  Software  that stores audio  and/or  video  content and delivers it to
client computers for viewing with the Burstware Player.

         1.5  "Concurrent  Burstware  Player  Connections"  means the  number of
simultaneous connections between Burstware Players installed on client computers
and Burstware  Servers  installed on hardware servers that the Burstware License
Key enables the Burstware Conductor to manage simultaneously.

         1.6 "Documentation"  means all materials in written,  computer readable
or other form containing  information about the Licensed Software that accompany
the  Licensed  Software,  or  that  IVT  may  provide  during  the  term of this
Agreement.

         1.7 "Licensed  Software" means the IVT Burstware  Conductor,  Burstware
Server and  Burstware  Player  software for which  Licensee is granted a license
under this Agreement.

         1.8 "Managed Bandwidth" means the total bandwidth, measured in megabits
per second,  used by the Burstware Server software to deliver audio and/or video
content to Burstware Players.

2.       GRANT OF LICENSE

         On the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  and upon payment of all
applicable  license  fees,  IVT grants to  Licensee  and  Licensee  accepts  the
non-exclusive licenses and the restrictions set forth below.

         2.1 Software License. IVT grants to Licensee a non-exclusive license to
install and use the Licensed Software in machine-readable  object code form only
in the  configuration  and to the scope identified in the Program Order attached
as Exhibit  A, or such other  Program  Order(s)  as IVT might  accept at a later
date.



<PAGE>

         2.2  Documentation.  IVT grants to Licensee a non-exclusive  license to
use  the  Documentation  in  connection  with  Licensee's  use of  the  Licensed
Software.

         2.3 Limitation on Use.  Licensee  understands and acknowledges that use
of the Licensed  Software is controlled by the Burstware  License Key.  Licensee
may not use the  Licensed  Software  beyond the scope  enabled by the  Burstware
License Key provided by IVT to Licensee upon payment of the  applicable  license
fee. The Licensed Software functions as three separate  programs,  the Burstware
Conductor,  Burstware Server, and Burstware Player, that operate  cooperatively.
Licensee  may  install  and use only  the  number  of  copies  of the  Burstware
Conductor and Burstware  Server software  specifically  enabled by the Burstware
License  Key  provided to Licensee  by IVT.  Licensee  may install an  unlimited
number of copies of the Burstware Player software for use by Licensee,  provided
Licensee   does  not  receive   any  direct   payment  for  doing  so,  but  may
simultaneously   use  only  the  number  of  copies  of  the  Burstware   Player
specifically  enabled by the Burstware  License Key provided to Licensee by IVT.
Licensee may not modify or alter the Licensed  Software or Burstware License Key
to increase the scope of its use of the Licensed Software. Further, Licensee may
not use any device,  process or computer  program  that  increases,  directly or
indirectly,  the scope of use of the Licensed  Software enabled by the Burstware
License Key  provided to  Licensee  by IVT. If Licensee  wishes to increase  the
scope of its licensed use of the Licensed  Software,  Licensee  must purchase an
additional Burstware License Key from IVT.

         2.4 Back-Up Copies. Licensee may make one copy of the Licensed Software
solely  for the  back-up  or  archival  purposes,  provided  that such copy must
contain all proprietary notices affixed to or appearing in the original copy.

         2.5 Sun Microsystems  Java(TM)Runtime Environment Provisions.  Licensee
may not  modify  the Java  Platform  Interface  ("JPI",  identified  as  classes
contained with the "java" package or any subpackages of the "java" package),  by
creating  additional classes within the JPI or otherwise causing the addition to
or  modification  of the classes in the JPI. In the event that Licensee  creates
any  Java-related  API  and  distributes  such  API to  others  for  application
development,  Licensee must promptly publish broadly, an accurate  specification
for such API for free use by all developers of Java-based software.

         2.6 Hazardous  Environments.  The Licensed  Software is not designed or
intended for use in online control equipment in environments requiring fail-safe
performance, such as the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft communication
or control systems or life support systems, in which software failure could lead
to personal injury or severe property or environmental damage. Licensee warrants
that it will not use or allow the use of the Licensed Software for such purposes

3.       OWNERSHIP AND USE RESTRICTIONS

         3.1 Ownership.  Licensee  acknowledges that the Licensed Software,  all
enhancements, corrections and modifications to the Licensed Software (regardless
whether made by IVT,  Licensee or anyone else), all copyrights,  patents,  trade
secrets,  or  trademarks or other  intellectual  property  rights  protecting or
pertaining  to any  aspect  of  the  Licensed  Software  (or  any  enhancements,
corrections or modifications)  and the  Documentation,  are and shall remain the
sole and exclusive property of IVT and, where applicable,  IVT's suppliers. This
Agreement  does not convey title or ownership  to  Licensee,  but instead  gives
Licensee only the limited rights set forth in Section 2. IVT reserves all rights
not expressly granted by this Agreement.

         3.2  Restrictions.  Except as  expressly  set forth in this  Agreement,
Licensee has no right to use, make, sublicense,  modify,  transfer, rent, lease,
sell,  display,  distribute or copy originals or copies of any Licensed Software
or Documentation, or to permit anyone else to do so.

                                                       [IVT-CLOVER CONFIDENTIAL]

         3.3 Transfer. Licensee may not assign or transfer its rights under this
Agreement  or its rights to the  Licensed  Software  without  the prior  written
consent of IVT. Upon any such transfer or assignment, Licensee must transfer all
copies of the Licensed  Software and  Documentation  and assignee  must agree in
writing to all the terms of this Agreement.

         3.4  Proprietary  Notices.   Licensee  shall  not  remove  any  patent,
copyright or trademark or other intellectual property notices that may appear on
any part of the Licensed Software or the Documentation.

         3.5 Trade Secrets. Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Software, in
its source code form, contains valuable trade secrets belonging to IVT. Licensee
may  not  reverse  engineer,  unencrypt,  decompile,  disassemble  or  otherwise
translate the Licensed Software or allow anyone else to do so.

         3.6 Audit Rights.  Licensee authorizes IVT or its designee to audit its
compliance with this Agreement, as IVT deems reasonable.

         3.7 Notice to  Employees  and Agents.  Licensee  will use  commercially
reasonable efforts to inform its employees, agents and others using the Licensed
Software under this Agreement that it may not be used,  copied or transferred in
violation of this Agreement.

         3.8 Irreparable Harm. Licensee  acknowledges that money damages may not
be an adequate  remedy for any breach or violation of any  requirement set forth
in Section 3 of this  Agreement  and that any such breach or violation may leave
IVT  without an adequate  remedy at law.  Licensee  therefore  agrees  that,  in
addition  to any other  remedies  available  at law,  in  equity  or under  this
Agreement, IVT shall be entitled to obtain temporary,  preliminary and permanent
injunctive  relief,  without  bond,  from a court of competent  jurisdiction  to
restrain any such breach or violation.

4.       SHIPMENT AND PAYMENT

         4.1 Shipment of Licensed Software. IVT shall ship all Licensed Software
ordered under this Agreement F.O.B. IVT's San Francisco facility, or other point
of shipment  within the United States  designated by IVT. Risk of loss or damage
to  copies of the  Licensed  Software  shall  pass to  Licensee  at the point of
shipment.  All  shipping  and in  transit  insurance  charges  shall  be paid by
Licensee.  Licensee  shall  specify in its  Program  Order the mode of  shipment
and/or  carrier for each  order.  In the  absence of written  instructions  from
Licensee, IVT shall determine the carrier and/or mode of shipment.

         4.2 IVT Product  Delivery  Schedule and Delays.  Although IVT shall use
reasonable efforts to meet Licensee's  requested delivery schedules for Licensed
Software,  IVT shall not be liable for any loss,  damage or expense  due to late
delivery.

         4.3 Payment. Licensee shall pay for all Licensed Software within thirty
(30) days after the date of IVT's invoice for such products.  In addition to all
other available  rights or remedies,  IVT reserves the right to declare all sums
immediately due and payable upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee fails to
pay when due any amounts due under this Agreement or any invoice. Interest shall
accrue  on any  amounts  not paid when due at an annual  rate of  eighteen  (18)
percent.

         4.4 Taxes.  With the sole exception of taxes based on IVT's net income,
Licensee shall pay all sales,  use, excise,  value added or other taxes that may
arise out of Licensee's installation or use of the Licensed Software.

                                                       [IVT-CLOVER CONFIDENTIAL]

         NO PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

         Licensee is not entitled to any maintenance or support for the Licensed
Software or any  upgrades or  enhancements  under this  Agreement.  Licensee may

shall become part of the Licensed Software and become subject to this Agreement.

6.       LIMITED WARRANTY

         6.1 Ownership. IVT warrants that it owns or has the right and authority
to license the Licensed  Software and Documentation to Licensee on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

         6.2  Media  and  Documentation.  IVT  warrants  that  if  the  Licensed

with replacements at no charge.

         6.3 Licensed  Software.  IVT warrants  that,  in the form  delivered to
Licensee by IVT, the Licensed Software shall perform substantially in accordance
with the  Documentation  for ninety (90) days after delivery to Licensee.  IVT's
warranty is conditioned upon: (a) the use of the Licensed Software in accordance
with the Documentation and other instructions  provided by IVT and shall be null
and void if Licensee  alters or modifies the  Licensed  Software  without  IVT's

because of any accident, abuse or misapplication; and (b) Licensee notifying IVT
in writing of the claimed  nonconformity  within ninety (90) days after delivery

sole remedy respecting the Licensed  Software's  nonconformance with the limited
warranty  set  forth  in  this  Section  6.3,  IVT  may at its  option:  (i) use
reasonable  efforts  to  correct  the  Licensed  Software  to  make  it  conform
substantially  with the  specifications  set  forth in the  Documentation;  (ii)
replace the Licensed Software; or (iii) upon return of the Licensed Software and
Documentation  to IVT,  refund  the  license  fees paid by  Licensee  under this
Agreement and terminate this  Agreement.  IVT DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT
THE LICENSED  SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE  PROPERLY  WITH OTHER  HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE,
THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S  REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS OR
THAT OPERATION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

7.       NO OTHER WARRANTY

         EXCEPT  AS SET  FORTH IN  SECTION  6,  IVT IS  PROVIDING  THE  LICENSED
SOFTWARE AND THE  DOCUMENTATION "AS IS," AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE  LAW,  IVT  SPECIFICALLY  DISCLAIMS  ANY  AND ALL  OTHER  WARRANTIES,
CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, OR ORAL OR
WRITTEN)  WITH  RESPECT TO THE  LICENSED  SOFTWARE  OR  DOCUMENTATION  INCLUDING
WITHOUT  LIMITATIONANY  AND ALL WARRANTIES OF  MERCHANTABILITY  OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR  PURPOSE  (WHETHER  OR NOT IVT KNOWS,  HAS  REASON TO KNOW,  HAS BEEN
ADVISED OR IS  OTHERWISE  IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH  PURPOSE) OR  CONDITIONS  OF
TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY REASON
OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE OR BY  COURSE  OF  DEALING.  IVT ALSO  EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR  REPRESENTATION TO ANY PERSON


<PAGE>

         TO THE MAXIMUM  EXTENT  PERMITTED BY  APPLICABLE  LAW,  THE  CUMULATIVE
LIABILITY OF IVT FOR ALL CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE  RELATED TO THE LICENSED  SOFTWARE
OR DOCUMENTATION OR OTHERWISE  ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT,  INCLUDING ANY CAUSE
OF  ACTION  BASED ON  WARRANTY,  CONTRACT,  TORT,  STRICT  LIABILITY  PATENT  OR

EXCEED THE TOTAL  AMOUNT OF ALL LICENSE FEES THAT  LICENSEE  HAS  ACTUALLY  PAID
UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT.  NEITHER  IVT NOR  ANY OF ITS  RESELLERS,  SUPPLIERS  OR
LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,  INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY  OR  PUNITIVE  DAMAGES,   WHETHER  IN  CONTRACT,  IN  TORT  (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE,  OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS,  LOSS OF SAVINGS, LOSS OF
DATA OR  LOSS  OF USER  DAMAGES  ARISING  OUT OF THIS  AGREEMENT  OR THE USE (OR
INABILLITY TO USE) OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE EVEN IF IVT OR RESELLER, SUPPLIER OR
LICENSOR HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE.  IN
NO EVENT WILL IVT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM  BROUGHT  MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER
THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO
NOT  ALLOW THE  EXCLUSION  OR  LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY  FOR  CONSEQUENTIAL  OR
INCIDENTAL   DAMAGES,   THE  ABOVE  LIMITATION  MAY  NOT  APPLY.   BECAUSE  SOME
STATES/JURISDICTIONS  DO NOT ALLOW THE  EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

9.       TERMINATION

         Without  prejudice to any other rights it may have under this Agreement
or at law or equity,  IVT may  terminate  this  Agreement  if Licensee  fails to
comply with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement for
any reason,  Licensee will immediately discontinue use of the Licensed Software,

Year 2000 Issues

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits  rather than four to define the  application  year.  Programs or products
that have  time-sensitive  software may  recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. In addition, the year 2000 is a leap year, which
may also lead to  incorrect  calculations,  functions or systems  failure.  As a
result, this year, computer systems and software used by many companies may need
to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements.  In 1998, the Company
began a project to determine if any actions were required regarding date-related
effects to: (i) the Company's  software  products;  (ii) the Company's  internal
operating and desktop computer systems and  non-information  technology systems;
and (iii) the  readiness  of the  Company's  third-party  vendors  and  business
partners.

The Company has formed a team consisting of operations,  development, marketing,
and finance  members to determine the impact of Year 2000 and to take corrective
action.  As of February 1999, the Company had completed  testing of its suite of
Burstware(R)  software  products  and has found no known Year 2000  issues.  The
Company has also tested its internal operating and desktop hardware and software
and has found that all its software is Year 2000  compliant  and appears to have
no known Year 2000 issues.  The Company has also confirmed with its  third-party
vendors and business  partners to ensure that their  software and hardware  will
not impact IVT operations. At this time, the Company knows of no known Year 2000
issues or problems with its vendors, or business partners.

The majority of the costs  associated  with this project are not  incremental to
the Company,  but represents a reallocation of existing  resources.  The Company
believes that modifications  deemed necessary will be made on a timely basis and
does not believe that the cost of such modifications will have a material effect
on the Company's  operating results. To date, the Company's costs related to the
year 2000 issues  have not been  material,  and the Company  does not expect the
aggregate amount spent on the year 2000 issue to be material.  In addition,  the
Company is in the  process of  evaluating  the need for  contingency  plans with
respect to year 2000 requirements. The necessity of any contingency plan must be
evaluated on a case-by-case  basis and may vary considerably in nature depending
on the year 2000 issue it may address.

The Company's  expectations  as to the extent and  timeliness  of  modifications
required in order to achieve year 2000 compliance is a forward-looking statement
subject to risks and  uncertainties.  Actual  results may vary  materially  as a
result of a number of factors, including, among others, those described above in
this  section.  There can be no assurance  that  unexpected  delays or problems,
including  the  failure to ensure  year 2000  compliance  by systems or products
supplied to the Company by third parties, will not have an adverse effect on the
Company, its financial performance and results of operations.  In addition,  the
Company  cannot  predict the effect of the year 2000 issues on its  customers or
other third party business partners or the resulting effect on the Company. As a
result, if such third parties do not take preventative and/or corrective actions
in a timely  manner,  the year 2000


<PAGE>

issue could have an adverse effect on their  operations and  accordingly  have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of  operations.  Furthermore,  the Company's  current  understanding  of
expected  costs is  subject  to change as the  project  progresses  and does not
include the cost of internal software and hardware replaced in the normal course
of business whose installation otherwise may be accelerated to provide solutions
to year 2000 compliance issues.
