discounts including free goods, promotional allowances and special manufacturers
pricing and IR contract  pricing  intended by the manufacturer or supplier to be
passed on to retailers  or  consumers.  Cash  discounts,  rebates and  ancillary
benefits  extended  by any  manufacturer  or  supplier  to the  distributor  are
excluded  from the  definition  of  "Cost".  Any  sales,  use and  business  and
occupational  taxes levied and/or paid by BBDC are IR's  responsibility  and are
added to IR's Cost.

Net-billed  items are  primarily  specific  product  categories  including  home
healthcare  and durable  medical  equipment  from the Today's  Healthcare  (THC)
catalog, private label over-the-counter health and beauty care merchandise,  and
certain consumer paper  goods/bulk items sold by the case.  Net-billed items are
not  subject  to  additional  discounts  or cost  plus  mark-ups,  however  such
purchases qualify towards total monthly purchase volume.

provide storage space for additional items not generally stocked by BBDC ("Niche
Products"), subject to available suitable warehouse space. IR will procure Niche
Products and maintain  ownership of Niche  Products.  Each Niche Product will be

inventory  systems.  Storage space will be ***********  Dollars ($***) per month
per  standard  pallet (or  portion  thereof),  payable per  calendar  quarter in
advance,  plus  any  special  handling  or  storage  charges  (e.g.,   security,
refrigeration,  insurance, etc.) reasonably determined by BBDC on a case-by-case
basis,  adjusted to reflect BBDC's  experience.  Niche Products are subject to a
$*** per line item picking fee (in lieu of the cost-plus mark-up) in addition to
the normal  per-Order  charge  pursuant to Section  4.3.  Niche  Products do not
qualify  towards total monthly  purchase volume for calculation of rebates under
Section  4.6.

4.6 IR Rebate  Schedule.  On a quarterly  basis,  BBDC will pay IR

           $*********  &      Above                                    ***%

*  Total  Net  Purchases  are  defined  as  all  monthly  purchases  from  all
categories, less any applicable credits and returns.

** Total net purchases in a calendar quarter all qualify for the single highest
applicable  percentage  rebate based upon  average  monthly  volume  during that
quarter.

     4.7 Early  Termination  Fee. In addition to the provisions of Section 10 of
the Terms and Conditions, IR may terminate this Agreement during the first three
(3) years of the Term  without  cause  effective  upon sixty  (60)  days'  prior

included in all IR shipments. Order-specific Collateral Materials, or Collateral
Materials in excess of, or exceeding the dimensions of, the allowable  pieces of
Collateral  Materials  described above will be subject to additional  charges of
$*** per item so long as such Collateral  Materials are to be included in all IR

Products under this  Agreement  ("Start-up  Period"),  BBDC will comply with the
"Start-Up  Service  Levels" in EXHIBIT A. After the Start-Up  Period,  BBDC will
comply with the  "Service  Levels" in EXHIBIT A. Each of the Service  Levels and
Start-Up Service Levels will be deemed a material term of this Agreement and any
failure to comply with them will entitle IR to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 10.1.3 of the Terms and  Conditions.

6.       HOURS OF OPERATION.

BBDC's Internet  fulfillment  center currently operates from Sunday afternoon to
Thursday  evening.  Receiving,  stocking and office personnel  operate Monday to
Friday,  normal business hours. BBDC and IR agree to explore additional hours of
operation as required to meet service  levels.  If IR's volume is not sufficient
to justify  additional  hours,  IR agrees to pay the  additional  costs for such
additional hours to meet its requirements.

7.       BUSINESS REVIEW.

BBDC and IR will  perform  a  semi-annual  business  review of IR's  account  at
mutually  agreeable times. The first such review will occur between July 1, 2000

the Unites States of America and its  territories and possessions and each other

     1.4 EXCLUSIVITY. IR and its affiliates will utilize BBDC and its affiliates
exclusively  for  fulfillment  of  the  Products  to  IR  consumers  within  the

a non-exclusive  basis.  IR acknowledges  BBDC and its affiliates are developing
web sites for current and future  consumers of BBDC and its affiliates  obtained

IR of its desire to enter into an amendment to this  Agreement  with IR for such
territory  or  products  upon terms no less  favorable  to IR than the terms set
forth in the  Notice.  If BBDC has not  notified  IR of its desire to enter into
such  amendment as of the  expiration of such thirty (30) day period and entered
into an amendment to this  Agreement  with IR with respect to such territory and
products within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Notice,  IR may enter into an
agreement  with a third  party  for such  territory  and  products  on terms and
conditions no less favorable to IR than those set forth in the Notice.

concerning any Products must reference BBDC's Product number.

     2.4 SHIPPING. BBDC will cause all lawful Orders to be shipped in accordance

shipper  for  delivery  to IR's  consumer.  BBDC will  invoice IR weekly for all
shipping  charges.  IR will pay all shipping  invoices  within seven (7) days of
receipt.  BBDC  will use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to  ensure  that IR
receives any volume discount  normally given BBDC by its shipper.  BBDC will use
commercially  reasonable efforts to ensure that all Orders for Products received
before the daily  "cut-off time" will be shipped by the  corresponding  shipping
time for  such  day.  Out-of-stock  or  back-ordered  Products  will be  shipped
promptly  after BBDC's receipt of such Products from the  manufacturer  or other
supplier.  Inquiries  about shipping  status will be directed to the shipper and
any such  inquires to BBDC's  customer  service  representatives  where BBDC has
provided IR with a shipper's  tracking  number will be subject to an  additional
charge.  BBDC will not process any of the following  shipments of Products:  (i)
international  shipments,  (ii)  COD  shipments,  (iii)  shipments  requiring  a
declared value, (iv) shipments to freight  forwarding  agents,  (v) shipments of
hazardous materials or other products requiring specialized  shipping,  and (vi)

be subject to additional charges for handling, storage and administration.

this reference.

3.       PRICING; PAYMENT.

net-billed or cost-plus basis,  plus adjustable fees for  fulfillment,  shipping
(if not billed directly to IR), handling,  packing of collateral items and other
services,  each on a per-Order  basis.  The parties  acknowledge  and agree that
pricing for the Products has been set in advance, is consistent with fair market
value in an  arms-length  transaction,  and has not been  determined in a manner
that  takes  into  account  the  volume or value of any  referrals  or  business
otherwise generated between the parties.

     3.2 PRICE  ADJUSTMENTS.  BBDC may change the pricing or fulfillment fees of
any  Product  at any  time;  provided,  however,  any  such  change  will not be
effective with respect to Products ordered by IR's consumers within  twenty-four
(24) hours of BBDC's electronic notice to IR.


     3.3 REBATES. As additional  consideration  under this Agreement,  IR hereby
assigns to BBDC all ancillary  benefits extended by any manufacturer or supplier
of the Products to the distributor, purchaser or user of the Products, including
cash or other  rebates  based  upon  purchase  volume or other  criteria,  sales
promotions,  allowances,  free goods,  and the like,  other than  discounts  and
rebates intended by the manufacturer or supplier to be passed on to retailers or
consumers.


     3.4 TAXES. IR will obtain and maintain a resale tax certificate in Kentucky
and each other jurisdiction in which BBDC delivers Products to IR's shipper.  IR
will collect and remit all applicable sales taxes and other taxes on the sale or
provision of Products to IR's consumers. IR will be responsible for and will pay
any  excise,  sales or use tax or other  similar  charge in the  nature of a tax
imposed with respect to transactions  under this Agreement (other than income or
other  taxes on BBDC's net icome)  and,  if paid or required to be paid by BBDC,
such amount will be added to and become part of the amount payable by IR.


     3.5 TIMING OF PAYMENT.  BBDC will submit invoices for the Products to IR on
a per-Order basis for each Order received from IR's consumer. Unless modified by
Exhibit 2, if any, IR will pay such invoices  within  twenty-four  (24) hours of
receipt of funds but in no event  later than five (5)  business  days after BBDC
delivers  Products to IR's shipper for delivery to IR's consumer.  Funds will be
transferred to BBDC on a daily basis (weekends and banking  holidays  excluded).
IR's  obligation  to pay  for  all  purchases  invoiced  will  be  absolute  and
unconditional  and will not be subject  to any  abatement,  reduction,  set-off,
defense,  counterclaim,  interruption,  deferment or  recoupment  for any reason
whatsoever, and such payments will be and continue to be payable in all events.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     3.6 LATE PAYMENT. If payment is not received as described in Section 3.5, a
late payment penalty of the lower of one-and-one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month
or part  thereof or the maximum  rate  permitted  by law will be assessed on the
outstanding balance, commencing from the first (1st) business day after such due
date.  The right of BBDC to assess  penalties  for IR's payment  delays will not
relieve IR of its  obligation  to make prompt  payment in  accordance  with this
Section 3.


     3.7  FINANCIAL  RECONCILIATION.  The  Financial  Reconciliation  Process in
Schedule  3.7  ("Financial  Reconciliation  Process")  is  incorporated  by this
reference.

reference.  All Orders,  IR sales reports,  BBDC invoices and remittance  detail
information  will be transmitted  by EDI. All funds will be transferred  between
the parties by electronic funds transfers  ("EFT").  All data files  transmitted
over the public Internet will be encrypted in adherence with EDIINT standards.


4. IR'S COVENANTS.

         4.1 WEB SITE. IR will,  at its cost,  develop,  produce,  implement and
test its web site and supporting  electronic commerce enabling software, as well
as provide  technical  support,  including  developing and procuring credit card
processing and encryption software, subject, however, to the reasonable approval
of BBDC in relation to its fulfillment responsibilities under this Agreement. In
addition,  IR will, at its cost, develop and procure all software  interfaces or
programs  necessary to enable IR to connect with BBDC's  systems and  operations
facilities.  All software  and hardware  developed or purchased by IR to support
BBDC under this Agreement will remain the property of IR. Each screen accessible
to  consumers  on IR's web site will clearly  identify  IR.  Unless  modified by
Exhibit 2, if any, no content on IR's web site will directly or  indirectly  (a)
identify BBDC or (b) lead any consumer or potential  consumer to believe that IR
or its web site is the manufacturer of a Product. IR will update its web site to
indicate that a Product is  unavailable  or subject to other special  conditions
based upon  BBDC's  Product  notices  and any  failure to do so that  results in
additional handling, storage, administrative or other costs to BBDC will subject
IR to an additional charge.

     4.2 MARKETING.  IR will, at its cost,  market IR's program on the Internet,
including IR's Internet web site. BBDC  acknowledges  that IR has sole authority
and control over each stage of marketing for its program;  provided however,  if
IR is prohibited by law from performing any contemplated  marketing  activities,
BBDC may perform such  functions at IR's expense to the extent BBDC may lawfully
do so. IR will provide  reasonable  advance  notice of special  offers,  such as
bundled items, featured items and sales,  advertising campaigns and other events
that can be reasonably  expected to generate  unusual volume (either  overall or
for specific Products) in order to allow BBDC to have adequate inventory,  staff
and other resources available to handle such volume.

     4.3 CONSUMER  ENROLLMENt.  IR will have sole  responsibility  for enrolling
consumers in IR's program.

     4.4 RECORDS. IR will retain all documentation required by federal and state
statutes and regulations.

business  days  after  receiving  notice of any  action or  proceeding  from any
federal,  state,  or local  agency to restrict,  suspend,  or revoke any of IR's
required  licenses,  permits or registrations or any other approval  required to
supply the services described in this Agreement.

     4.6  COMPLIANCE  WITH LAW.  IR will  perform  all of its duties  under this
Agreement in full compliance with all applicable federal,  state, and local laws
and regulations.

7.       SOFTWARE AND DATABASE LICENSE.

     7.1 GRANT OF LICENSE. For BBDC's Consumer Image and Ingredient Database
and each  software  application  and/or  database BBDC may provide to IR, to the
extent  of  BBDC's  legal  capacity  to  do  so,  grants  IR  a   non-exclusive,
nontransferable  and  revocable  license  for the use of  such  software  and/or
database ("Software") and its related documentation ("Documentation") subject to
payment by IR of the applicable  licensing fee  established by BBDC from time to
time.  Each license is granted solely during the Term. BBDC does not grant to IR
any rights to any  copyright,  patent,  trademark,  trade name or similar rights
with respect to any Software or Documentation or any other information  provided
to IR by BBDC. IR will not use the name, trade name, trademarks,  service marks,
trade dress, logos or other intellectual property of BBDC, Product manufacturers
or suppliers or any of BBDC's  affiliates in its web site,  publicity  releases,
advertising,  sales literature or materials,  or in any similar activity without
BBDC's prior written consent.

     7.2 NO SUBLICENSE.  IR may not sublicense,  lease,  distribute or otherwise
transfer  Software  or  Documentation  or  IR's  right  to use the  Software  or
Documentation.
                                       11
<PAGE>
     7.3 NO COPIES. IR may not make, or allow anyone else to make, copies of the
Software or related Products,  beyond one copy for backup and archival purposes,
except as BBDC may otherwise agree in writing.  IR may not remove,  obscure,  or
deface any proprietary  notices contained in the Software or Documentation,  and
IR must include such notices in any permitted copy of the Software.


     7.4 NO  ALTERATIONS.  IR may not  alter,  modify or adapt any  Software  or
Documentation  or create  derivative  works  from  them.  IR may not  translate,
reverse  engineer,  disassemble  or decompile  the  Software.  BBDC will have no
liability for any claims by third  parties or IR based upon altered  Software or
Documentation.


     7.5  TERMINATION  OF LICENSE.  The license to any part of the  Software and
Documentation will terminate  automatically if IR fails to comply with the terms
of this license or any other  material  provision in this  Agreement,  or if the
Products for which IR is using the Software are  discontinued.  Upon termination
of a license,  IR must cease using the Software and Documentation and, at BBDC's
election,  return or destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation IR may
have in its  possession  or under its  control,  and certify to BBDC that IR has
done so. All of IR's  obligations in this Agreement will survive  termination of
any license.

     7.6 DISCLAIMER. BBDC disclaims any representation or warranty regarding the
Software  and  Documentation.  IR  acknowledges  the  possibility  that  (i) the
Software may not operate in  combination  with other  software or hardware or in
the manner IR or its  consumers  may select  for use and (ii)  Software  may not
operate without interruption or be error-free.


     7.7 NO RIGHTS IN DATA. All files, input materials and output materials, the
media upon which  they are  located  (including  cards,  tapes,  discs and other
storage facilities),  and all Software (together with any Documentation,  source
codes,  object  codes,  upgrades,  revisions,   modifications  and  any  related
materials)  which are utilized by or developed  for IR in  connection  with this
Agreement will be the property of BBDC.


     7.8 NOTICE OF CLAIMS;  REMOVAL OF  PRODUCTS  AND  CONTENT.  Notwithstanding
Section  14.2.1,  IR will  immediately  notify BBDC of any written or oral claim
that any  Software  or  Documentation  used by IR in its web  site or  otherwise
infringes on the rights of any third party.  Immediately  upon notice from BBDC,
IR will  discontinue the offering of any Product and the use of any Software and
Documentation  that BBDC  determines  may subject BBDC or IR to liability to any
third party. Failure to notify BBDC in writing within three (3) business days of
the receipt of an oral or written claim that any Software or Documentation  used
by IR in its web site or  otherwise  infringes  on the rights of any third party
will  terminate  and  rescind  all of BBDC's  representations,  warranties,  and
indemnification obligations with respect to the subject matter of the claim.

8.       WARRANTS.

     As additional  consideration  under this Agreement,  IR and BBDC will enter

Registration  Rights Agreement in the form of Schedule 8.2, and IR will issue to
BBDC warrants to purchase securities of IR in the form of Schedule 8.3.

9.       TERM.

     Unless  terminated  earlier  pursuant  to  Section  10,  the  term  of this
Agreement  will be for the  period  years set  forth on the  cover  page of this
Agreement from the date of this Agreement and will be automatically extended for
additional,  successive  one (1) year terms  (collectively,  the "Term")  unless
either party gives written notice to the other of its intention to not extend at
least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current Term.

10.      TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

     10.1 DEFAULT.  This Agreement may be terminated by IR by providing  written
notice of termination to BBDC upon a default by BBDC under this Agreement.  This
Agreement may be terminated by BBDC by providing  written  notice of termination
to IR upon a default by IR under this Agreement. For purposes of this provision,
a default  will be  deemed to have  occurred  upon the  happening  of any of the
following:


          10.1.1 With respect to either party (A) filing an  application by such
     party for, or consent to, appointment of a trustee,  receiver, or custodian
     of its assets;  (B) entry of an order for relief in  proceedings  under the
                                       12
<PAGE>
     United States  Bankruptcy Code, as amended or superseded from time to time;
     (C) making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;  (D) entry of
     an order by any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  appointing  a  trustee,
     receiver,  or custodian of its assets unless the proceedings and the person
     appointed are dismissed  within ninety (90) days; or (E) failure  generally
     to pay its debts as the debts  become  due  within  the  meaning of Section
     303(h)(1) as amended or superseded  from time to time, of the United States
     Bankruptcy Code, as determined by a Bankruptcy  Court, or in the event of a
     party's  admission  in  writing of its  inability  to pay its debts as they
     become due.

          10.1.2 A party's  failure to pay any  amount  that is due to the other
     party under this  Agreement  and such failure  continues  for five (5) days
     after written notice from the other party; or

          10.1.3 A party's  failure to  perform  any other  material  obligation
     under this Agreement, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after
     such party receives  written  notice of such breach from the  non-breaching
     party; provided, however, if the breaching party has commenced to cure such
     breach within such thirty (30) days, but such cure is not completed  within
     the thirty (30) days,  such party will be afforded the amount of additional
     time  reasonably  necessary  to complete its cure,  provided it  diligently
     pursues doing so until completion.

     10.2 ADVERSE REGULATORY  CHANGES. In the event the laws of any jurisdiction
change so as to negatively effect through increased regulations,  liability,  or
otherwise,  BBDC's fulfillment operations or the Internet sale of Products, then
either party may  terminate  this  Agreement  upon  written  notice to the other
without further obligation.


     10.3 LICENSES.  If any required licenses,  permits or registrations of BBDC
or IR are revoked or suspended so as to materially  impair such party's  ability
to perform under this  Agreement,  BBDC or IR may terminate  this Agreement upon
thirty (30) days' written notice without further obligation.


     10.4 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION. Upon termination or expiration of
this  Agreement for any reason,  BBDC will be entitled to payment of any amounts
owed to it by IR for Products  ordered prior to  termination  or expiration  and
shipped to IR's consumers.  The obligations of the parties described in Sections
4, 5, 6, 7 (except the license granted thereunder), 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16
and any  provision  the  context of which shows that the  parties  intended  the
provision to survive will remain in effect  notwithstanding  the  expiration  or
termination of this Agreement. Additionally,  termination of this Agreement will
have no effect upon the  obligation  of the parties under the terms of any other
agreements  entered into between the parties,  except as set forth  otherwise in
such other agreements.

11.      CONFIDENTIALITY.

     11.1 "CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION".  "Confidential Information" will mean any
and all information  disclosed in writing or orally by either party to the other
party,  which is either  confidential  or proprietary  in nature.  "Confidential
Information" will not include:  (i) information that is or will become generally
available  to  the  public  through  no  fault  of  the  receiving  party;  (ii)
information  that was known to the receiving party before that party received it
under this Agreement and was free of any obligation of  nondisclosure;  or (iii)
information  that is disclosed in good faith to the  receiving  party by a third
party  lawfully  in  possession  of such  information  and who is not  under  an
obligation of nondisclosure with respect to such information.

     11.2  NONDISCLOSURE.  During  the Term and for ten (10)  years  thereafter,
neither  party  will,  without  the prior  written  consent of the other  party,
disclose to any third party (unless such disclosures are required by law) or use
for its own purposes  (except as  contemplated by this Agreement) this Agreement
or any other  Confidential  Information  concerning the other party's  business,
operations,  or  products  that is  obtained  in the course of  performing  this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the parties may issue a joint press
release as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and may
continue  to  communicate  with  employees,   customers,   suppliers,   lenders,
shareholders  and  others as may be  legally  required  or  appropriate  and not
inconsistent  with  the  best  interests  of  the  other  party  or  the  prompt
consummation of the activities contemplated by this Agreement.

     11.3  CUSTOMER  LISTS.  BBDC and IR will each retain  ownership  of its own
customer lists.
                                       13
<PAGE>
12.      NON-SOLICITATION.

     12.1  COVENANT  NOT TO SOLICIT.  Each party  agrees that neither it nor its
employees,  agents, or representatives will, during the Term and for a period of
two  (2)  years   following   this   Agreement's   expiration   or   termination
("Non-Solicitation  Period")  without the other party's  prior  written  consent
hire, or solicit for hire, any person who was employed by the other party or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates


     12.2 DAMAGES.  Because of the difficulty of measuring  economic losses as a
result of the  breach of any of the  foregoing  covenants,  and  because  of the
immediate and irreparable  damage that would be caused for which the other party
would have no other adequate  remedy,  each party agrees that, in the event of a
breach by it of any of the covenants set forth in this Section,  the other party
or its subsidiary or affiliate may, at its option,  in addition to obtaining any
other remedy or relief available to them (including damages at law), enforce the
provisions of this Section by injunction and other equitable relief.

     12.3 REASONABLE  RESTRAINT.  Each party agrees that the covenants contained
in this  Section  impose a reasonable  restraint  in light of the other  party's
activities, business and future plans.


     12.4 SEVERABILITY; REFORMATION. The covenants in this Section are severable
and separate,  and the unenforceability of any specific covenant will not affect
the  provisions of any other covenant in this Section or in this  Agreement.  In
the event any court of competent  jurisdiction  will  determine  that the scope,
time or  territorial  restrictions  set forth in this Section are  unreasonable,
then it is the  intention of the parties that such  restrictions  be enforced to
the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable,  and the provisions of this
Section will thereby be reformed.

     12.5  INDEPENDENT  COVENANT.  Each of the covenants in this Section will be
construed as a covenant  independent of any other  provision of this  Agreement,
and the  existence  of any claim or cause of action  of one  party  against  the
other,  or any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates,  whether  predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by such
party or such subsidiaries or affiliates of such covenants.


     12.6  COMPUTATION  OF THE  NON-SOLICITATION  PERIOD.  The  Non-Solicitation
Period will be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which
either  party is in  violation  of any  provision  of this  Section and any time
during which there is pending in any court of competent  jurisdiction any action
(including  any appeal from any  judgment) in which a party seeks to enforce the
covenants  contained  in this  Section or in which the other party  contests the
validity  or  enforceability  of  any  such  covenant  or  seeks  to  avoid  the
performance or enforcement of any such covenant.

     12.7 MATERIALITY. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set
forth in this Section are a material and substantial part of this Agreement.


13.      INSURANCE.

     During the Term and for two (2) years  thereafter,  IR will maintain at its
own cost and expense:

          (a)  Commercial  General  Liability  Insurance  covering its premises,
     including bodily injury, property damage, broad form contractual liability,
     independent   contractors  and  products   liability/completed   operations

     $2,000,000 aggregate or $2,000,000 single limit.

          (b)  Workers'  Compensation  Insurance  as  mandated or allowed by all
     states  in which  IR's  business  is being  performed,  including  at least
     $1,000,000 coverage for Employer's Liability.

          (c) All Risk  Property  Insurance  in an amount  adequate to cover the
     cost of replacement of all equipment,  improvements,  and betterments at IR
     locations  in the  event  of loss  or  damage.  (d)  Errors  and  Omissions
     Insurance  in the  amount  of  $1,000,000,  naming  BBDC  as an  additional
     insured.

     All such  policies  will be written by a carrier or  carriers  rated "A" or
                                       14
<PAGE>
above by Best, will contain a clause requiring the carrier to give BBDC at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any material change or cancellation of
coverage  for  any  reason,  and  simultaneously  with  IR's  execution  of this
Agreement and annually thereafter, IR will deliver to BBDC original Certificates
of Insurance evidencing coverage required by this Section.

14.      INDEMNIFICATION.

     14.1  INDEMNIFICATION  BY IR. IR will indemnify,  defend, and hold harmless
BBDC and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any and
all claims,  demands,  actions,  causes of action, losses,  judgments,  damages,
costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, court costs,
and costs of  settlement)  ("Claim") to the extent arising out of claims against
BBDC for:  (1) the death of, or bodily  injury  to, any person on account of the
use of a Product that results from IR's sale of such Product;  or (2) any breach
by IR of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.

          14.1.1  NOTICE BY BBDC.  Upon  receipt of any notice of a Claim,  BBDC
     will promptly  notify IR in writing of any such Claim;  provided,  however,
     any failure to so notify IR will not relieve  BBDC of any  liability it may
     have to IR except to the extent such liability was caused by such failure.


          14.1.2 RETENTION OF COUNSEL.  IR will retain counsel at its expense to
     act as  lead  counsel  in the  defense  of all  Claims  against  BBDC.  The
     Indemnified  Party may retain  counsel.  BBDC may retain counsel of its own
     choice  at  BBDC's  expense  to the  extent  necessary  to  protect  BBDC's
     interests and to act as  co-counsel in the  litigation or settlement of any
     Claim or threatened Claim. So long as IR does not enter into any settlement
     agreement or consent  judgment that admits liability on the part of BBDC or
     that fails to include an  unconditional  release of BBDC from all liability
     from all asserted or threatened  Claims,  IR will have the right to control
     the defense, settlement, and prosecution of any litigation.

     14.2  INDEMNIFICATION  BY  BBDC.  BBDC  will  indemnify,  defend,  and hold
harmless IR and its officers and  directors  from and against any and all Claims
to the  extent  arising  out of  claims  against  IR  for:  (1)  the  dishonest,
fraudulent,  negligent,  willful,  or criminal acts of BBDC or BBDC's employees,
agents, or representatives  acting alone or in collusion with others; or (2) any
breach by BBDC of any of its  representations,  warranties  or covenants in this
Agreement.

          14.2.1  NOTICE BY IR. Upon  receipt of any notice of a Claim,  IR will
     promptly notify BBDC in writing of any such claim;  provided,  however, any
     failure to so notify BBDC will not relieve IR of any  liability it may have
     to BBDC except to the extent such  liability  was caused by such failure or
     as provided in Section 7.8.


          14.2.2  RETENTION OF COUNSEL.  BBDC will retain counsel at its expense
     to act as lead  counsel in the  defense of all  Claims  against  IR. IR may
     retain counsel of its own choice at IR's expense to the extent necessary to
     protect  IR's  interests  and to act as  co-counsel  in the  litigation  or
     settlement of any Claim or threatened Claim. So long as BBDC does not enter
     into any settlement  agreement or consent judgment that admits liability on
     the part of IR or that fails to include an unconditional release of IR from
     all liability  from all asserted or threatened  Claims,  BBDC will have the
     right  to  control  the  defense,   settlement,   and  prosecution  of  any
     litigation.

15.      LIMIT ON LIABILITY.

         BBDC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,  SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT BBDC KNEW
OR HAD REASON TO KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,  AND BBDC'S  AGGREGATE
LIABILITY  UNDER THIS  AGREEMENT  FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS,  WHETHER IN  CONTRACT,
TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED BBDC'S RECEIPTS FOR PRODUCTS SOLD UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT  DURING  THE  TWELVE  (12)  MONTHS   IMMEDIATELY   PRECEDING  A  FINAL

16.      INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

     Each party is an independent  contractor and is solely  responsible for all
taxes, withholdings, and other similar statutory obligations, including, but not
limited  to,  workers'  compensation  insurance.  None of a  party's  employees,
agents,  or  associates  are  employees the other party and each party agrees to
defend,  indemnify  and hold the other  harmless from any and all claims made by
any of its  employees,  agents,  or  associates,  or by any  entity or agency on
account  of  an  alleged   failure  to  satisfy  any  such  tax  or  withholding
obligations.  Neither  party has  authority to act on behalf of or to enter into
any contract,  incur any liability,  or make any representation on behalf of the
other.

17.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         17.1  EXTRAORDINARY  EVENTS.  In the event BBDC's delivery or arranging
for delivery of Products under this Agreement is prevented, impaired, reduced or
restricted by reason of force majeure, labor disputes, fire, acts of God, or any
other similar or dissimilar cause beyond its control,  including but not limited
to the unavailability of such Products, transportation, shortage of materials or
fuel,  delay in  delivery  or failure to  deliver by BBDC's  suppliers,  loss of
facilities of distribution,  the voluntary  foregoing of the right to acquire or
use any materials in order to accommodate  or comply with the orders,  requests,
regulations,  recommendation  or  instructions  of  any  governmental  authority
(whether in  furtherance  of national  defense or war  activities or to meet any
other  emergency),  or the compliance with any law, order,  ruling,  regulation,
instruction  or  requirements  of any  governmental  authority or any  political
subdivision  or agency  thereof,  or for any other cause  whether of the same or
different  character  than  specified in this  Agreement,  beyond the reasonable
control of the affected party, BBDC, without liability or obligation, may reduce
or  eliminate  Products  during the period of any such  disability.  In any such
case,  Products  that  BBDC is unable to  supply  will be  eliminated  from this
contract by written notice  describing the amounts  eliminated and the estimated
time  period  during  which  deliveries  are to be  suspended;  and BBDC will be
relieved of any liability with respect to such Products during the time BBDC may
be unable to deliver such Products. In addition, due to circumstances beyond its
control,  BBDC,  at its  discretion,  may add to the  cost of  Products  for any
account,  regardless  of  location,  its fuel  costs,  including  any  taxes and
surtaxes,  and other related costs  associated  with its delivery of Products so
long as such circumstances continue to affect BBDC's costs.

     17.2  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any  provision in this  Agreement is
held to be invalid, unenforceable,  void or illegal, in whole or in part, by any
court of competent jurisdiction,  it will be deemed severable from the remainder
of this  Agreement  and will in no way affect,  impair or  invalidate  any other
provision in this Agreement. If such provision will be deemed invalid due to its
scope or breadth, such provision will be deemed valid to the extent of the scope
of breadth permitted by

law.

     17.3  GOVERNING  LAW,  Choice of Forum and Time for  Bringing  Action.  The
validity, construction and performance of this Agreement will be governed by and
construed  in  accordance  with the  internal  laws of the  State of  California
without regard to its choice of laws provisions and, if applicable,  the laws of
the United  States.  In the event any legal  action is  necessary  to enforce or
interpret the terms of this  Agreement,  the parties agree that such action will
be brought in Superior Court for the State of California,  County of Orange,  or
the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California,  and the parties
hereby  submit to  exclusive  jurisdiction  of such courts.  Each party  further
agrees that personal  jurisdiction over it may be effected by service of process
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and that when so made
will be as if served  upon it  personally  within the State of  California.  Any
action for a breach of this  Agreement  must commence  within one (1) year after
the cause of action has accrued.

     17.4 ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This  Agreement and all exhibits and schedules and
related agreements  incorporated by reference  constitute the complete agreement
between IR and BBDC with  respect to the subject  matter of this  Agreement  and
replace and supersede all prior written and oral agreements or statements by and
among the parties  concerning the subject matter.  No representation or warranty
concerning the subject matter not contained in this Agreement will be binding on
the parties or have any force or effect whatsoever.

     17.5 AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may not be amended,  modified or waived in
any respect without further written  agreement of both parties,  signed by their
respective authorized representatives.
                                       16
<PAGE>
     17.6  COUNTERPARTS.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or  more
counterparts, which will together constitute but one and the same instrument.


     17.7 WAIVERS.  Neither party's failure to insist, in one or more instances,
upon the performance of any term of this Agreement will be construed as a waiver
or  relinquishment of its right to such performance or other performance of such
term,  and the other party's  obligations  will  continue in full force.  Either
party's  consent to any act by the other party on any one  occasion  will not be
deemed a consent of the same act on any other occasion.


     17.8 TIME IS OF THE  ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence in each  provision of
this Agreement.


     17.9  CAPTIONS.  The  captions  and  heading  in  this  Agreement  are  for
convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.


     17.10  ASSIGNMENT.  Neither  party may assign any  rights or  delegate  any
duties  under this  Agreement  without  the prior  written  consent of the other
party, which will not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  IR acknowledges  that BBDC has affiliates and  subsidiaries  and may
assign  performance of some or all of the terms of this Agreement to one or more
such related entities. For purposes of this Section, any transfer,  sale, merger
or  consolidation  of IR, or a  substantial  portion of IR's assets,  whether by
contract  or  operation  of law, or any other  transaction  or series of related
transactions  transferring  all or  substantially  all of IR's business,  assets
(including  this  Agreement),  stock or control will be deemed an assignment and
require such prior written  consent by BBDC, but will not modify,  supplement or
terminate the rights or  obligations  of the parties under this  Agreement.  For
purposes  of  the  preceding  sentence,  "control"  means,  with  respect  to  a
corporation or limited  liability  company,  the right to exercise,  directly or
indirectly,  more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights  attributable to
the controlled corporation or limited liability company and, with respect to any
individual,  partnership,  trust,  other entity or association,  the possession,
directly or  indirectly,  of the power to direct or cause the  direction  of any
management or policies of the controlled entity.  Subject to the foregoing,  the
provisions of this  Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit
of the  successors  and assigns of the  respective  parties,  including  without
limitation  any  partnerships,  corporations,  or other  entities  in which  the
parties  may have a  controlling  interest  or  position.  Except  as  expressly
provided,  this Section will not be construed as a consent by either party to an
assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it by either party.

     17.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each party, at its own cost and expense,  and at
the reasonable request of the other party,  agrees to undertake all such further
acts  and to  execute  all  such  further  documents  as may  be  necessary  and
reasonably  requested  by either party to  effectuate  the  performance  of this
Agreement in accordance with the parties' intentions.


     17.12  AFFILIATE  COMPANIES.  In order to  better  serve  the  needs of IR,
Products may, from time to time, be provided by an affiliate company of BBDC. IR
hereby  acknowledges  this  fact and  expressly  consents  to this  distribution
arrangement.  IR  further  agrees to be liable for all  payments  due under this
Agreement to any such affiliate.


     17.13  INTERPRETATION.  In the event of any claimed  conflict,  omission or
ambiguity in this  Agreement,  no  presumption  or burden of proof or persuasion
will be implied by virtue of the fact that this  Agreement was prepared by or at
the request of a particular party. This Agreement will be interpreted equally as
to both parties and not against the party that drafted it.  Whenever the context
requires,  the gender of all words will  include  the  masculine,  feminine  and
neuter,  and the number of all words will include the  singular and plural.  The
word  "and"  includes  the word  "or".  The  word  "or" is  disjunctive  but not
necessarily exclusive.

     17.14 PARTIES IN INTEREST. Nothing in this Agreement will confer any rights
on any third parties other than IR and BBDC and their respective  successors and
assigns,  nor will any provision  give any third person any right of subrogation
or action over or against any party to this Agreement.


     17.15 INFORMATION REVIEWED. IR has received and reviewed all information it
considers  necessary or appropriate  for deciding  whether to purchase  Products
from BBDC. IR has had an opportunity  to ask questions and receive  answers from
BBDC regarding the terms of the purchase of the Products and has further had the
                                       17
<PAGE>
opportunity to obtain all  information  which it deems necessary to evaluate the
purchase of the  Products and to verify the  accuracy of  information  otherwise
provided to IR by BBDC.


     17.16  RELIANCE ON AUTHORITY OF PERSON  SIGNING  AGREEMENT.  Neither IR nor
BBDC will be required to determine the authority of the individual  signing this
Agreement to make any  commitment or  undertaking on behalf of such entity or to
determine any fact or  circumstance  bearing upon the existence of the authority
of such individual.


         17.17  ATTORNEYS'  FEES.  In the event that any dispute  between IR and
BBDC should result in litigation, arbitration, or mediation the prevailing party
in such dispute will be entitled to recover from the other party all  reasonable
fees,  costs  and  expenses  of  enforcing  any right of the  prevailing  party,
including reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses,  all of which will be deemed
to have accrued upon the commencement of such action and will be paid whether or
not such action is prosecuted to judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such
action  will  contain  a  specific  provision  providing  for  the  recovery  of
attorneys'  fees and costs  incurred in enforcing  such judgment and an award of
prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate of interest
allowed  by law.  "Attorneys'  fees"  include  (1)  post-judgment  motions;  (2)
contempt  proceedings;  (3)  garnishment,  levy,  and  debtor  and  third  party
examinations; (4) discovery; and (5) bankruptcy litigation.
"Prevailing  party" means the party who is determined in the  proceeding to have
prevailed or who prevails by dismissal, default or otherwise.

                          Electronic Payments Agreement

This Electronic  Payments Agreement  ("Agreement")  effective as of December 21,
1999 is entered into by and between  nutripure.com,  a  __________  corporation,
located at 1725 Gillespie Way, El Cajon,  California  92020  ("Originator")  and
Bergen  Brunswig  Drug  Company,  a  California  corporation,  located  at  4000
Metropolitan Drive, Orange, California 92868 ("Beneficiary").

                                    RECITALS

A.   Originator  and  Beneficiary  are  or may  become  parties  to one or  more
     Business Agreements,  including the Internet Fulfillment Services Agreement
     dated  December 21, 1999,  pursuant to which  Originator  may, from time to
     time, become obliged to make payments to Beneficiary.

B.   Originator and  Beneficiary  desire to establish  terms and conditions upon
     which  Originator  will  make  such  payments  and  communicate  associated
     Remittance Information in electronic form.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.       DEFINITIONS

     1.1 Terms as  Defined in this  Agreement.  As used in this  Agreement,  the
following terms have the following meanings:


          (a) Beneficiary's  Account:  The deposit account at Beneficiary's Bank
     designated  in Appendix  ss.1.1 that is to be credited  with  payments from
     Originator.

          (b) Beneficiary's Bank: The bank designated by Beneficiary in Appendix
     ss.1.1 for receiving payment from Originator.

          (c) Business  Agreements:  All contractual  relationships  between the
     parties  giving rise to an obligation  of  Originator  to pay  Beneficiary,
     designated in Appendix ss.1.4.

          (d) Payment  Obligation:  An  obligation of Originator to pay money to
     Beneficiary pursuant to the Business Agreements.

          (e)  Remittance  Information:  The  information  relating to a payment
     designated in Appendix ss.2.2.

          (f) Third Party Service  Provider:  An entity designated by a party in
     Appendixss.1.2 to assist the party in the communication of Transaction Sets
     and  notice   between  the  parties   separate  from  any  payment   order.


          (g) Transaction Set: A collection of data that is communicated between
     the parties,  as designated in Appendixss.2.1 or as otherwise agreed by the
     parties.


     1.2 Terms  Defined in Article  4A.  Terms  used in this  Agreement  but not
otherwise defined will be defined as provided in Uniform Commercial Code Article
4A as enacted in the jurisdiction whose law governs this Agreement.


2.       AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZATION

     2.1 Credits. Originator agrees and Beneficiary authorizes Originator to (i)
satisfy its Payment  Obligation by  initiating  funds  transfers  that result in
payment  to the  Beneficiary  by  credit  to  Beneficiary's  Account,  and  (ii)
communicate  associated Remittance Information to Beneficiary in accordance with
this Agreement.
                                       27
<PAGE>
     2.2 Debits.  Neither party will initiate a transaction in connection with a
Payment  Obligation  for the  purpose of  debiting  a bank  account of the other
party.


3.       PAYMENT AND REMITTANCE PROCEDURE

     3.1 Payment.  Originator  will instruct its bank to process funds transfers
hereunder  using the  funds-transfer  system  or other  mechanism  specified  in
Appendixss.1.3,  in  accordance  with  this  Agreement  and  the  rules  of such
funds-transfer system.


     3.2 Remittance  Information.  For each funds transfer  initiated under this
Agreement,  Originator will communicate the associated Remittance Information to
Beneficiary as specified in Appendixss.2.


     3.3 No  Warranty  of Funds.  Beneficiary  acknowledges  that its receipt of
Remittance Information  communicated separately from the funds transfer to which
the Remittance  Information relates will not constitute a warranty by Originator
that the  funds  transfer  has  been  initiated  on a  timely  basis or that any
resulting  payment  order will be  accepted  by  Beneficiary's  Bank on any date
specified therein.


4.       TIMING OF PAYMENTS

     4.1 Timeliness. A payment from Originator to Beneficiary will be considered
timely with respect to any payment due date  determined in  accordance  with the
applicable  Business Agreement if the corresponding  funds transfer is completed
on the day such  payment is due. If the funds  transfer  cannot be  completed on
such date,  Originator's payment is timely if the funds transfer is completed on
the next day completion can occur.


     4.2 Effect of Delay.  Originator will not be in breach of this Agreement or
the  applicable  Business  Agreement,  or suffer any loss of  discount  or other
penalty, with respect to a funds transfer that was initiated properly and timely
by  Originator  to the extent its  completion  is delayed  because of failure or
delay by the  funds-transfer  system or other  mechanism  designated in Appendix
ss.1.3,  the  operation  of a  funds-transfer  system  rule  which  could not be
anticipated by the Originator,  or rejection by the Beneficiary's Bank. However,
any such  failure,  delay or  rejection  does not  extinguish  the  Originator's
obligation to pay the Beneficiary as soon as practical after the failure,  delay
or rejection is discovered.

5.       DISCHARGE OF PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

     5.1 Discharge:  Credit to Originator.  Upon  completion of a funds transfer
authorized  by  Agreementss.2.1,  the  corresponding  Payment  Obligation of the
Originator  will be  discharged  to the same extent as if such  payment had been
received  in cash.  Beneficiary  will credit  Originator  for the amount of such
payment, as of the date the funds transfer was completed.


     5.2 Disallowance of Credits Taken. If Beneficiary  disallows any discounts,
allowances,  adjustments or other credits against a Payment  Obligation taken by
Originator  in  conjunction  with a funds  transfer,  Beneficiary  will promptly
notify  Originator  of the  amount  of  and  reason  for  such  disallowance  in
accordance with Appendixss.2.1


     5.3  Partial  Payments.  Notwithstanding  any  statement  contained  in any
Remittance  Information or related  Transaction Set, the completion of any funds
transfer  hereunder will not constitute full  satisfaction of any portion of the
corresponding Payment Obligation greater than the amount paid.


     5.4  Effect  of  Payment  on Other  Rights.  Notwithstanding  the  terms of
Agreement  ss.5.1,  the  completion of a funds  transfer  will not  constitute a
waiver of any contract  right under the  corresponding  Business  Agreement that
would be deemed  waived by the  acceptance of such payment in cash if within ten
(10)  business days after the  completion  of such funds  transfer or such other
time  period as allowed by  applicable  law or Business  Agreement,  Beneficiary
sends an equivalent  payment  amount to Originator in accordance  with Agreement
ss.5.5 and notifies  Originator of the reason for the return in accordance  with
Agreement ss.11.1.

     5.5 Payment  Returns,  Adjustments,  Credits and  Rebates.  If  Beneficiary
elects to exercise a right to return a payment  received  from  Originator or is
required to pay Originator any adjustment,  rebate,  or other credit because of,
for example,  duplicate payments (rather than by crediting  Originator's account
balance),  Beneficiary will make such payment by initiating a new payment in the
manner specified in Appendixss.1.6.

                                       28

6.       RECEIPT, ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND VERIFICATION

     6.1 Receipt.  A Transaction  Set or notice  communicated in accordance with
this Agreement will be considered received when it is accessible by the intended
recipient as specified in Appendixss.2.3.


     6.2 Acknowledgment.  To the extent required by Appendixss.2.1, a party that
receives a Transaction Set or notice from the other party will  acknowledge that
such  Transaction  Set or notice was  received and is  syntactically  correct by
communicating  the  Acknowledgment  specified  in  Appendixss.2.1  to the sender
within five (5) business days of receipt.


     6.3  Verification.  The recipient of a Transaction  Set or notice will take
reasonable  steps to verify the claimed identity of the sender and the integrity
of the content of a  Transaction  Set or notice (as  specified in  Appendixss.4)
before  relying upon it. If a  Transaction  Set or notice is received in garbled
form,  or cannot be so  verified,  the  recipient  will notify the sender of the
problem  within five (5) business  days unless the sender's  identity  cannot be
discerned. In the absence of such notice to an identifiable sender, the sender's
version of the Transaction set or notice will control.

     6.4 Validity and Enforceability. Neither party will contest the validity or
enforceability  of Transaction  Sets or notices  communicated in electronic form
pursuant to this  Agreement  on grounds  related to the  absence of  paper-based
writings,  signing or originals.  Each Transaction Set or notice communicated in
electronic form pursuant to this Agreement will be considered to be:

     (a)  "in  writing"  and  "written" to an extent no less than as if in paper
          form;

     (b)  "signed" where the signer  includes data intended as a signature to an
          extent no less than as if undertaken with pen and paper; and

     (c)  an original.

7.       SECURITY PROCEDURES

     7.1 Procedures.  Each party will employ reasonable  security  procedures to
ensure that Transaction Sets,  notices and other  information  specified in this
Agreement that are  electronically  created,  communicated,  processed,  stored,
retained  or  retrieved  are  authentic,   accurate,   reliable,   complete  and
confidential.


     7.2 Effect of Non-Party Security.  The communication of any Transaction Set
or  notice  via  a  funds-transfer  system  will  not  constitute  a  breach  of
Agreementss.7.1.


8.       CONFIDENTIALITY

     8.1 Confidential  Information.  Information that is considered confidential
by either party is identified in Appendixss.3.  Such information will be held in
confidence by the recipient and will be disclosed only to those of its employees
or authorized  representatives  who require  access in the  performance of their
duties to the  recipient.  The recipient  will exercise  reasonable  care in the
safeguarding of such confidential information.


     8.2  Exceptions.  Neither party will be liable for the disclosure or use of
any  information  designated in Appendix ss.3 as  confidential  that: (a) is, or
becomes publicly known, other than by breach of this Agreement;  (b) is obtained
by the recipient  from another  person  without  restriction;  (c) is previously
known by the recipient without  restrictions;  (d) is, at any time, developed by
the  recipient  independently  of any  disclosures  hereunder;  (e) is disclosed
pursuant  to  the  consent  of  the  party  that  considers   such   information
confidential;  or (f) is required to be disclosed by law, provided that prior to
disclosing  such  information the recipient will promptly notify the other party
of the demand to disclose or provide the information and the recipient agrees to
reasonably  cooperate if the other party deems it necessary to seek a protective
order.

     8.3 Survival of Obligation. These obligations and restrictions will survive
the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
                                       29

9.       LIABILITY

     9.1  Breach  of  Business  Agreements.  Except  as  otherwise  specifically
provided herein,  this Agreement  neither enlarges nor diminishes the respective
rights and  obligations  of the parties  under any Business  Agreement,  and the
liability of a party for breach of a Business  Agreement  will be  determined by
the provisions of that agreement and applicable law.


     9.2 Conduct of Third  Parties.  Except as otherwise  limited  herein,  each
party will be liable to the other for the acts or  omissions  of its  respective
banks and Third Party Service  Providers  designated  hereunder  with respect to
their conduct in connection with such party's  performance under this Agreement.
Neither  party  will be liable to the  other  for the acts or  omissions  of any
funds-transfer  system  operator,  or for the acts or  omissions of any banks or
third party not selected by such party.

     9.3 Consequential Damages.  Neither Party will be liable to the other under
this Agreement for any special,  indirect or consequential damages, even if such
party has been advised of the  possibility of such damages (except for liability
directly resulting from a breach of the confidentiality or security  obligations
of this agreement).


     9.4  Costs.  Each  party will bear the  respective  fees and other  charges
assessed by its designated  banks and Third Party Service  Providers  (except as
otherwise provided in Appendixss.1.5).


10.      CHANGES, SUSPENSIONS AND TERMINATION

     10.1 Change of Designations. Either party may change its designations of an
account,  bank, or Thirty Party  Service  Provider by notice to the other party.
Any such change will be effective twenty-five (25) business days after notice of
such change from the party entitled to make the original designation is received
by the other party.


     10.2 Suspension of Operations.  Either party may suspend  operations  under
this Agreement:

     (a)  upon notice to the other party,  in the event that the notifying party
          has a good faith  belief that the  information  of either party may be
          materially threatened or compromised; or

     (b)  if the  performance  of a party  under  this  Agreement  is delayed or
          prevented   by  an  act  of  God,   natural   disaster,   computer  or
          communications  failure or other  cause  beyond the  affected  party's
          reasonable control.

     10.3 Termination of Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement at
any time upon  ninety  (90)  days'  notice to the  other.  Notwithstanding  such
termination,  this Agreement will remain in effect as to all funds transfers and
Transaction  Sets that have been  initiated by the  Originator  and not canceled
prior to termination of this Agreement.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

permitted under this Agreement will be  communicated in the manner  specified in

notifying  the other  party.  Either  party may from  time to time  designate  a
different notice address by notifying the other party.


     11.2 Waiver.  No provision of this  Agreement or any breach thereof will be
deemed  waived unless such waiver is in writing and  signed/communicated  by the
party  claimed to have waived such  provision  or breach.  No waiver of a breach
will constitute a waiver or excuse any different or subsequent breach.


     11.3  Assignment.  This agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit
of the parties  hereto and their  respective  successors  and assigns.  However,
neither  party may assign any of its rights or delegate  any of its  obligations

consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     Receiving  Accuracy.  A receiving error is defined as an error regarding an
incorrect  quantity  received,  an incorrect item received,  and/or an incorrect
data entry code used for  exceptions.  Each condition is considered an error, so
it is possible to have more than one error on a single line. It is considered an
error once it is entered into the system.

     Replenishment/Stocking  Accuracy. A replenishment/stocking error is defined
as an error placing an item in the incorrect  location  whether that location is
primary, secondary, or bulk.

     Order  Filling  Accuracy.  The Customer  Call Log,  maintained  in customer
service,  is used to track the number of line items  reported  by  customers  on
mispicks,  shortages,  and outdates  each week.  Total lines filled  information
comes from the Outbound  Service Level Report.  The error rate is calculated per
10,000  lines  filled.  All Products  reported as damaged  when  received by the
customer will be considered a delivery error.

     Order Delivery Accuracy. Order delivery errors are shipped Orders delivered
to wrong consumers,  packages left on truck, and damaged items (broken, crushed,
cut tops, leaking caps, etc). Each line will be considered 1 error.


     Document  Delivery  Errors.  Document  delivery  errors are deliveries made
without invoices or price stickers,  and invoices or stickers  delivered late or
to the wrong customer.

     Percent of Lines Filled, Percentage of Adjusted Lines Filled, Percentage of
Fail to Picks and Percent of Adjusted  "A" Lines.  The Percent of Lines  Filled,
Adjusted  Lines  Filled,  Fail to Picks,  and  Percent  of  Adjusted A Lines are
tracked  daily on the Outbound  Service  Level  Report.  The monthly  totals are
transferred  by  Performance  & Quality  Measurement  into the Critical  Success
Measures report.


     Returns  Cycle Time.  Consumer  returns will be shipped  directly  from the
consumer to the BBDC Fulfillment Center. The date that the return is received at
the BBDC Fulfillment Center is considered the start date. The completion date is
the date that the credit is transmitted to IR. The calculation is for the number
of working days between the receipt of the consumer return and the credit to IR.
