ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE MERCHANT AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Additional Terms of the
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms on the face of this
Agreement.

I. PROCESSING AGREEMENT.

Section 1.1. Processing Agreement. Merchant understands that the
Processing Agreement (as well as the authorization set forth on the face
hereof) irrevocably authorizes Processor to pay the cash attributable to
the Specified Percentage of each of the Future Receivables to the Company
rather than to Merchant until the Company receives the cash attributable to
the Specified Amount of Future Receivables from Processor. This
authorization may only be revoked with the prior written consent of the
Company. Merchant agrees that Processor may rely upon the instructions of
the Company, without any independent verification, in making the cash
payments described above. Merchant waives any claim for damages it may have
against Processor in connection with actions taken based on instructions
from the Company unless such damages were due to Processor's failure to
follow the Company's instructions. Merchant understands that (a) Processor
will be acting on behalf of the Company with respect to the Specified
Percentage of Future Receivables until the cash attributable to the
Specified Amount of Future Receivables has been remitted by Processor to
the Company, (b) the Company is not affiliated with the Processor and has
no relationship with the Processor other than through the Processing
Agreement, (c) the Company does not have any power or authority to control
Processor's actions with respect to the processing of credit card
transactions and (d) the Company is not responsible for Processor's actions
and agrees to hold the Company harmless for the actions of Processor.

Section 1.2. Merchant Instructions to Processor. The Merchant will
irrevocably instruct the Processor to hold the Specified Percentage of the
Future Receivables on behalf of the Company and to remit directly to the
Company the cash attributable to such Specified Percentage at the same time
it remits to Merchant the cash attributable to the balance of such Future
Receivables which was not sold to the Company by Merchant.

Section 1.3. Transactional History. Merchant acknowledges and agrees
that Processor may provide the Company with Merchant's credit card history
without the prior consent of the Merchant.

Section 1.4. Indemnification of Processor. Merchant indemnifies and
holds Processor, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents and
representatives harmless from and against all losses, damages, claims,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or
incurred by Processor resulting from actions taken by Processor in reliance
upon information or instructions provided to Processor by the Company.

Section 1.5. No Liability for Processor. In no event will the Processor
be liable for any claims asserted by the Merchant under any theory of law,
including any tort or contract theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost
business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect
or consequential damages, each of which is hereby expressly waived by the
Merchant.

Section 1.6. Processor Commissions. The Company and Merchant understand
that Processor will charge a fee or commission for processing receipts
representing Future Receivables which have become actual receivables (the
"Processor's Fee") as set forth in the Processing Agreement. The Company
and the Merchant understand that with respect to each such receipt,
Processor will deduct a pro rata portion of the Processor's Fee from each
such receipt based on the relative size of the cash attributable to the
Specified Percentage of such Future Receivable sold by Merchant to the
Company and the cash attributable to the portion of such Future Receivable
which was retained by Merchant.

Section 1.7. No Modification of Processing Agreement. Merchant will
comply with the Processing Agreement and will not modify the Processing
Agreement in a manner that could have an adverse effect upon the Company's
interests, without the Company's prior written consent.

Section 1.8. Processing Trial; Decision to Purchase Future Receivables.
After this Agreement has been signed by both the Merchant and the Company
but prior to the Company's determination as to whether to pay the Purchase
Price, Merchant agrees to permit the Company to instruct the Processor to
conduct a short processing trial (the "Processing Trial") in order to
ensure that the Merchant's credit card transactions are being correctly
processed through Processor and that the cash attributable to the Specified
Percentage of any Future Receivables purchased by the Company is being
appropriately remitted to the Company. The Company agrees to make a
determination as to whether to purchase the Specified Amount of Future
Receivables promptly after the commencement of the Processing Trial. If the
Company determines to purchase Specified Amount of Receivables, then all of
the cash received by the Company in connection with the Processing Trial
prior to the payment of the Purchase Price shall be applied to reduce the
Specified Amount. Nothing herein shall create an obligation on behalf of
the Company to purchase any Future Receivables, and the company expressly
reserves the right to not purchase the Specified Amount of Future
Receivables and not pay the Purchase Price to Merchant. If the Company
decides to not purchase the Specified Amount of Future Receivables and not
pay the Purchase Price, this Agreement shall have no further effect and the
Company shall, promptly after receipt from the Processor, return to the
Merchant any cash received by the Company in connection with the Processing
Trial.

Section 1.9. Additional Amount. In the event that the amount of cash
remitted by Processor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the
Specified Amount (such cash being the "Excess Cash") by at least $20.00,
the Company agrees to pay such Excess Cash to Merchant promptly after
receipt thereof by the Company. In the event the Excess Cash is less than
$20.00, the Company agrees to pay such Excess Cash to Merchant promptly
after the receipt of a written request from Merchant within six months for
such Excess Cash. The Merchant acknowledges that the Company has no

<PAGE>

obligation to take any action (including against the Processor) with
respect to any cash being held by Processor, which will become Excess Cash
once it is paid by the Processor to the Company, prior to the receipt of
such Excess Cash by the Company.

1.7, 1.8 and 1.9, and this Section 1.10, as well as provisions on the face
of this Agreement are agreed to for the benefit of Merchant, the Company
and Processor, and notwithstanding the fact that Processor is not a party
to this Agreement, Processor may rely upon their terms and raise them as a
defense in any action. No amendment to, or modification or deletion of, any
of the aforementioned Sections shall be made without the prior written
consent of Processor.
