withhold in its absolute discretion. Any assignment of this
Agreement by Integrator without such consent shall be null and void.

the payments due to Adzone as required by this Agreement. Selection
of an independent auditor will be at the sole discretion of Adzone.

EXHIBIT A
AUTHORIZED LICENSED PRODUCTS
1. ADZONE ONLINE CUSTOM RESEARCH SYSTEMS
AdZone Research, Inc., based in Riverhead, NY has developed a system for
tracking events that occur on web pages. Currently they track events from 30
different countries. Actual results can range from short-term postings, to
"hidden in plain sight" links, to modified segments in graphics or sound files,
to unauthorized additional scripting in the text-based headers, etc.
The AdZone NetGet(TM) technology is based on an extremely open platform that is
composed of four integrated elements:
Crawler
Artificial Intelligence agent (AI)
Database
Report generator
The Crawler was specifically designed to be language independent and format
transparent (i.e. enhanced with steganographic capabilities). After it's initial
pass, a baseline is established against which all future deviations are both
identified and stored. Furthermore, it immediately engages the AI agent to
follow all the links it finds on targeted web pages. These are then aggregated
and analyzed to determine if historical data needs to be re-examined (to re-open
prior trails) and to "learn" new strategies on a going-forward basis. Finally,
these two elements (Crawler and AI agent) are able to both cycle on a
non-standard, yet effectively continuous, basis so that the target sites do not
see unusual levels of activity. The system has the capability to "peer" within
all types of content (graphics, multimedia, scripts, etc.) to look for
information, which may be hidden therein.
All the subsequent data is stored in a specially designed database structure
composed of fifty-plus interwoven sub-bases. This facilitates the operation of
the AI agent while providing a panoply of reports that can be generated.
In its current application (the analysis of competitive advertising messages on
the Internet) the system tracks 500,000 URLs, but is fully scalable to 30
million for anti-terrorism applications.
The end user will receive data and custom tools, as required, for each
individual situation along with integration and/or export functionality to
second level data manipulation software such as Excel, Access, FoxPro, Progress,
Oracle, KMVS (Raytheon), etc.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. GENERAL. "You" means the single end-user customer organization signing this
Agreement. Your license shall extend to your affiliates, if so provided in the
Program Description and to the extent so provided, so long (and only so long) as
they remain under your control (in the sense that you own or control, directly

computer for which the appropriate License fee was paid, provided the Program is
in use on only one computer at any time by only the number of users for which
you have paid a License fee. Concurrent use on two or more computers is only
authorized to the extent that you have acquired such authorization by the
payment of the appropriate license fees. If the anticipated number of users of
the Software will exceed the number of applicable Licenses, then you must have a
reasonable mechanism or process in place to assure that the number of persons
using the Software concurrently does not exceed the number of Licenses.

Location and the Program is activated after receipt of the applicable activation
code by Adzone. Completion of installation shall constitute your acceptance of
the license for the Program, but shall not affect any warranties still in effect
under Paragraph 16.

charge first became due.

maintenance for the Program, you must purchase yearly maintenance at Adzone's
current commercial list rates, unless otherwise stated in the attached Program

Program(s) (electronically or otherwise), or any copy, adaptation,
transcription, or merged portion thereof, except as expressly authorized by
Adzone, an applicable Program Description, or a separate written agreement
signed by Adzone. You may not reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise
translate the Program(s). Your license may not be transferred, leased, assigned,

written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), provided that you may
transfer the Program(s) to another location temporarily in the event of an
interruption of computer operations at the Designated Location(s). You authorize
Adzone to enter your premises in order to inspect the Program(s) during regular
business hours to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
15. DATA. You acknowledge that data conversion is subject to the likelihood of
human and machine errors, omissions, delays, and losses, including inadvertent
loss of data or damage to media, that may give rise to loss or damage. Adzone
shall not be liable for any such errors, omissions, delays, or losses, unless
caused by its willful misconduct. You are responsible for adopting reasonable
measures to limit the impact of such problems, including backing up data, and
adopting procedures to ensure the accuracy of input data; examining and
confirming results prior to use; and adopting procedures to identify and correct
errors and omissions, replace lost or damaged media, and reconstruct data. You
are also responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws
pertaining to the use and disclosure of any data.
16. WARRANTY. For your benefit alone and for a period of ninety (90) days,
Adzone warrants that the Program, when operated with the equipment configuration
and in the operating environment specified by Adzone, will perform substantially
in accordance with the technical specifications included or referred to in the
applicable Program Description. The ninety (90) day period shall commence on the
date of Software installation and code number activation or thirty days from the
date of shipment, whichever is sooner. Adzone does not warrant that the Program
will be error-free in all circumstances.
In the event of any defect or error covered by such warranty, you agree to
provide Adzone with sufficient detail to allow Adzone to reproduce the defect or
error. As your exclusive remedy for any defect or error in the Program(s)
covered by such warranty, and as Adzone's entire liability in contract, tort, or
otherwise, Adzone will correct such error or defect at Adzone's facility by
issuing corrected instructions, a restriction, or a bypass. If Adzone is unable
to correct such defect of error after a reasonable opportunity, Adzone will
refund the license fees paid for such Program. However, Adzone is not
responsible for any defect or error not reported during the warranty period or
any defect or error in a Program you have modified, misused, or damaged. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH, ADZONE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE
PROGRAM(S) OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE;
ADZONE MAKES AND YOU RECEIVE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION; AND ADZONE
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The cumulative
liability of Adzone to you for all claims relating to the Program(s) and any
services rendered hereunder, in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed
the total amount of all license fees paid to Adzone for the relevant Program(s)
or services within the prior year. This limitation shall not apply to the
indemnification provided in Paragraph 18. In no event shall either party be
liable to the other for any consequential, indirect, special, or incidental
damages, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such
potential loss or damage. The foregoing limitation of liability and exclusion of
certain damages shall apply regardless of the success or effectiveness of other
remedies.
18. INDEMNIFICATION. If a third party claims that the Program(s) infringe any
U.S. patent, copyright, or trade secret, Adzone will (as long as you are not in
default under this Agreement or any other agreement with Adzone) defend you
against such claim at Adzone's expense and pay all damages that a court finally
awards, provided that you promptly notify Adzone in writing of the claim, and
allow Adzone to control, and cooperate with Adzone in, the defense or any
related settlement negotiations. If such a claim is made or appears possible,
Adzone may, at its option, secure for you the right to continue to use the
Program(s), modify or replace the Program(s) so they are noninfringing, or, if
neither of the foregoing options is available in Adzone's judgment, require you
to return the Program(s) for a credit equal to the previously paid license fees
for the Program. However, Adzone has no obligation for any claim based on a
modified version of the Program(s) or their combination, operation, or use with
any product, data, or apparatus not provided by Adzone. THIS PARAGRAPH STATES
ADZONE'S ENTIRE OBLIGATION TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
19. DEFAULT. Should you fail to pay any fees or charges due hereunder or fail to
carry out any other obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with
Adzone, Adzone may, at its option, in addition to other available remedies,
terminate this Agreement or disable the Program(s), provided that it first gives
you fifteen (15) days' prior notice in order to permit you to cure your default.
20. TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement as a result of your default,
or upon expiration of the Term of your license unless renewed (but, in such
case, only as to the Program(s) whose licenses have expired), your license will
terminate, and you are required to return or destroy, as requested by Adzone,
all copies of the Program(s) in your possession (whether modified or
unmodified), and all other materials pertaining to the Program(s), including all
copies thereof. You agree to certify your compliance with such requirement upon
Adzone's request.
21. NOTICES. All notices or other communications required to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and delivered either personally or by U.S. mail, certified,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as provided in this
Agreement or as otherwise requested by the receiving party. Notices delivered
personally shall be effective upon delivery and notices delivered by mail shall
be effective upon their receipt by the party to whom they are addressed.
22. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as it applies to a
contract made and performed in such state.
23. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be modified except by a
writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties. A waiver by either
party of its rights hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in a writing
signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights. The
nonenforcement or waiver of any provision on one (1) occasion shall not
constitute a waiver of such provision on any other occasions unless expressly so
agreed in writing. It is agreed that no use of trade or other regular practice
or method of dealing between the parties hereto shall be used to modify,
interpret, supplement, or alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement.
