stemming from the Cook IP on an individual product basis. This license shall
be a non-exclusive world-wide license. A list of current Products to which

Chef shall be licensed to WCSI under the terms of this master license
Agreement by executing individual "Intellectual Property License Orders" ("IP
Orders") in the form of "Exhibit B." Specific IP Orders shall be signed and
dated by the licensor of the intellectual property (either Money Chef, Cook or
both) and by the licensee WCSI (or its subsidiaries, parent company, or

the remainder of the term of this Agreement unless otherwise specified in
writing.

7. AUTHOR'S WARRANTY

Cook represents and warrants to WCSI that the work is original and that he is
the sole author and proprietor thereof, and has full power to enter into this
Agreement. Cook and Money Chef warrant that they own all rights in the
Products subject to the previous license dated January 03, 1993. WCSI and/or
any subsidiaries or affiliates of WCSI which are wholly owned and controlled
by the parent company Profit Financial Corporation, Inc., Cook, and Money Chef
agree to indemnify and hold harmless WCSI against any damage or judgment,
including court costs and attorneys' fees, which may be sustained or
recovered against the Publisher by reason of the publication or sale of any
of the Products arising from anything contained therein. Cook and Money Chef
also agree to reimburse WCSI for all expenses, including court costs,
attorneys' fees, and amounts paid in settlement, sustained by WCSI in
resisting any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding asserted or
instituted against WCSI based upon the sale of the Product or by reason of
anything contained therein.

8. RIGHT TO USE LIKENESS:

Cook hereby consents to the use of his name, likeness, identity, trademarks
and trade symbols, for the purposes of fulfilling this Agreement and in
connection with the promotion, advertising, distribution, financing,
marketing and production of the Productions or derivatives therefrom, and for
general organizational promotional purposes.

9. EXAMINATION OF BOOKS:

WCSI shall make available to Cook or Money Chef, within 10 days written
notice, at its headquarters, the financial books related to payment of
royalties hereunder.

10. DISPUTES:

Any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement which cannot be
amicably settled shall be referred to arbitration upon written notice by
either party to the other. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Nevada. Said arbitration is to be held in Seattle, Washington.
Any award rendered in arbitration shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties and shall not be subject to appeals or retrying by the court.

11. ATTORNEY FEES:

In the event this Agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney due to a
default in the payment or performance of any of its terms, the defaulting
party shall pay, immediately upon demand, the other party's reasonable
attorney fees, collection costs, costs of either litigation, mediation, or
arbitration (whichever is appropriate), whether or not a suit or action is
filed, and any other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by the
non-defaulting party.

12. JURISDICTION:

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Nevada.
