         trainees under this Section 9 shall be borne by Reseller.

     10. DEFAULT.

         a. RESELLER'S DEFAULT. The failure by Reseller to make any payment
required hereunder or a material breach by Reseller of its obligations
hereunder shall constitute an event of default by Reseller. Upon the occurrence
of an event of default, StoresOnline shall provide Reseller with written
notice specifying the nature of such default. If Reseller has not cured such
default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, StoresOnline
may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and/or seek any other

for by Reseller and sublicenses previously granted by Reseller pursuant
hereto shall not be affected by such termination.

obligations hereunder shall constitute an event of default by StoresOnline.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default by StoresOnline, Reseller shall

involuntary) in bankruptcy or insolvency by or against either party hereto,
or the appointment (with or without the party's consent) of an assignee for
the benefit of creditors or a receiver with respect to either party hereto
shall constitute an event of default hereunder, and the non-defaulting party
may elect to terminate this Agreement immediately.

     11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

         a. 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 more knowledgeable about the disputed
issue. The parties understand and agree that the procedures outlined in this
Paragraph 11 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 subparagraph e. below, may be
submitted to arbitration, the parties shall first follow the informal and
escalating procedures set forth below.

             (1) 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.

             (2) In the event that such matter remains unresolved for thirty
(30) days after the delivery of the complaining 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.

             (3) In the event that the meeting or conference specified in (2)
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.

             (4) 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
subparagraph b. below.

         b. Except as provided in subparagraph e. below, any dispute arising
under this Agreement shall, after utilizing the procedures in subparagraph
a., be resolved by final and binding arbitration in Long Beach, California,
before a single arbitrator selected by, and in accordance with, the rules of
commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Each party
shall bear its own costs in the arbitration, including attorneys' fees, and
each party shall bear one-half of the cost of the arbitrator.

         c. 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.

         d. Either party may supply 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.

         e. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs a. and b. above,
any action by StoresOnline to enforce its rights under Paragraph 12e of this
Agreement or to enjoin any infringement of the same by Reseller may, at
StoresOnline's election, be commenced in the state or federal courts of
California, and Reseller consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in such
courts for such actions.

     12. GENERAL.

         a. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between StoresOnline and Reseller and supersedes all
previous understandings, negotiations, and proposals, whether written or
oral. This Agreement may not by altered, amended or modified except by an
instrument in writing signed by duly authorized representatives of each
party. In the event that any one or more provisions contained in this
Agreement should for any reason be held to be unenforceable in any respect,
such unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this
Agreement shall by construed as if such unenforceable provision had not
been contained herein.

         b. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable to the other for
delays or failures to perform an obligation to the other hereunder if such
delay or failure to perform is due to any act of God, acts of civil or
military authority, labor disputes, fire, riots, civil commotion's,
sabotage, war, embargo, blockage, floods, epidemics, delays in
transportation, inability beyond StoresOnline's reasonable control to obtain
necessary labor, materials or manufacturing facilities, or when due to
governmental restrictions, including the inability of StoresOnline to obtain
appropriate U.S. export license approval or the subsequent suspension of
same. In the event of any such delay or failure, the parties shall have an
additional period of time equal to the time lost by reason of the foregoing in
which to perform hereunder.

         c. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of
choice of law.

         d. ASSIGNMENT. Reseller shall not assign this Agreement or any
rights hereunder without the prior written consent of StoresOnline, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. StoresOnline may assign this
Agreement to a subsidiary or affiliate corporation.

         e. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Reseller acknowledges that, in the
course of purchasing Services and meeting its obligations under this
Agreement, it will obtain information relating to the Services and to
StoresOnline, which is of a confidential and proprietary nature

         Reseller shall at all times during the term of this Agreement and
for three years after its termination, keep in confidence and trust from any
person or entity all StoresOnline Proprietary Information and shall not
disclose or use such StoresOnline Proprietary Information without the prior
written consent of StoresOnline, unless compelled to disclose such
StoresOnline Proprietary Information by judicial or administrative process
(including, without limitation, in connection with obtaining the necessary
approvals of this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby of
governmental or regulatory authorities) or by other requirements of law. Upon
termination of this Agreement, Reseller shall promptly return to StoresOnline
all StoresOnline Proprietary Information under its control and all copies
thereof.

         Neither party shall disclose the specific terms of this Agreement
to any third parties except as may be mutually agreed or as required by law
or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

         The above limitations on disclosure of StoresOnline Proprietary
Information shall not apply to information which becomes publicly available
through no act of Reseller, is released by StoresOnline in writing with no
restrictions, is lawfully obtained by Reseller without breach of this
Agreement from third parties without obligations of confidentiality, is
previously known by Reseller without similar restrictions as shown by
documents in its possession prior to disclosure by StoresOnline or is
independently developed by Reseller.

         f. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Reseller shall comply with all applicable
law including, without limitation, the export control laws of the United
States of America and prevailing regulations which may be issued from time to
time by the United States Department of Commerce and any export control
regulations of the United States and those countries involved in transactions
concerning the




<PAGE>

exporting, importing and re-exporting of Services purchased under application
of these terms and conditions. Reseller shall also comply with the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and shall indemnity StoresOnline from
violations of such act by Reseller. This provision shall survive any
termination or expiration of the Agreement.

         g.  EXERCISE OF REMEDIES.  Any delay or omission by either party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall not be construed to
be a waiver of any such right or remedy or any other right or remedy
hereunder.

         h.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES DUE TO
FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

         i.  HEADINGS.  Headings contained in this Agreement are for
convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement, and do not in anyway
interpret, limit or amplify the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or
any of the provisions hereof.

         j.  REGULATORY APPROVAL.   Reseller warrants that the Services and
the Malls, when utilized with its own products, will comply with all
applicable industry and governmental standards and requirements. StoresOnline
assumes no responsibility or liability for these governmental and regulatory
standards or requirements, which liability and responsibility is assumed
entirely by Reseller. Upon request, StoresOnline will provide copies of
regulatory approvals to Reseller.

         k.  BRANDING.  StoresOnline shall have the right to place a "Powered

StoresOnline has entered into this Agreement with Reseller. Each party may
use the other's name or the name of its customers in marketing the Services

customers name and reputation.

STANDARD LICENSE AGREEMENT TERMS

     1.     LICENSE.  This license allows you to use any software associated
with the provision of the Services.

     2.     RESTRICTIONS.  You may not use, copy, modify or transfer the
program, or any copy, modification or merged portion, in whole or in part,
except as expressly provided for in this License.  If you transfer possession
of any copy, modification or merged portion of the program to another party,
your License is automatically terminated.

     3.     TERM.  The License is effective until terminated.  You may
terminate it at any other time by notifying Reseller of your intent to do
so.  The License will also terminate upon the occurrence of certain events
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.  Upon such termination, you agree to
destroy the program together with all copies, modifications and merged
portions in any form.

     4.     EXPORT LAW ASSURANCES.  You agree that neither the program nor
any direct product thereof is being or will be shipped, transferred or
re-exported, directly or indirectly, into any country prohibited by the US
Export Administration Act and the regulations thereunder or will be used for
any purpose prohibited by the Act.

     5.     LIMITED WARRANTY.  The program is provided "as is" without
warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited
to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose.  The full text of the warranty is provided in the user manual.

     6.     LIMITED LIABILITY.  In no event will StoresOnline be liable to
you for any damages, including any lost profits, lost savings or other
incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to
use such program even if StoresOnline has been advised of the possibility of
such damages, or for any claim by any other party.

     7.     GENERAL.  If you are a Government end-user, this License conveys
only "Restricted Rights" and in its use, disclosure and duplication are
subject to Federal Acquisition Regulations, subparagraph (c) (1) (11)
52.227-7013.  (See U.S. Government End-User provisions in manual.)  This
License will be construed under the laws of the State of California, except
for that body of law dealing with conflicts of law.  If any provision of the
License shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to
law, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and
the remaining provisions of this License shall remain in full force and effect.
