                  the Licensed Software beyond the scope of the license paid for
                  by Licensee by limiting,  as  appropriate,  and in addition to

                  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.

         F.       "Documentation"  means  all  materials  in  written,  computer
                  readable  or  other  form  containing  information  about  the
                  Licensed  Software that  accompany the Licensed  Software,  or

II.      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.

         A.       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.

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

         C.       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.

         D.       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.

         E.       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.

         F.       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.

III.     OWNERSHIP AND USE RESTRICTIONS

         A.       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 II. IVT reserves all rights not  expressly  granted by
                  this Agreement.

         B.       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.

         C.       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.

         D.       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.

         E.       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.

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

         G.       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.

         H.       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  III 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.

IV.      SHIPMENT AND PAYMENT

         A.       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.

         B.       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.

         C.       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.

         D.       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.

V.       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
purchase from IVT maintenance and support pursuant to the terms,  conditions and
pricing of IVT's  maintenance and support  agreement as in effect on the date of
Licensee's  purchase.  All upgrades and enhancements  made available to Licensee
shall become part of the Licensed Software and become subject to this Agreement.

VI.      LIMITED WARRANTY

         A.       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.

         B.       Media and  Documentation.  IVT  warrants  that if the Licensed
                  Software's   media  or   Documentation  is  in  a  damaged  or
                  physically  defective condition at the time it is delivered to
                  Licensee,  and  if it is  returned  to IVT  (postage  prepaid)
                  within ninety (90) days of delivery, IVT will provide Licensee
                  with replacements at no charge.

         C.       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 prior written  approval,  does not use
                  the Licensed Software in accordance with the Documentation and

                  any disputes concerning this Agreement.

                  necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement,
                  the  prevailing  party shall be  entitled to recover  from the

                  necessary  disbursements  in addition  to any other  relief to
                  which such party may be entitled.

         E.       Complete Understanding.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
                  agreement  between  the  parties  with  respect to its subject

                  the parties to this Agreement are  independent.  Neither party

                  behalf of the  other  enter  into any  contract,  warranty  or
                  representation as to any matter.  Neither party shall be bound
                  by the acts or conduct of the other and nothing  herein  shall
                  be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture.

         I.       No  Waiver.  The  failure  of  either  party  to  enforce  any
                  provision  of this  Agreement  shall not be deemed a waiver of

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 is 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 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.
