Customer may not license or sublicense the Courseware Titles to any third
parties in any form without the prior written consent of Prosoft (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld). Customer shall have the right to sell the
Kits, or any part thereof, in any combination of elements that it deems
appropriate (for example, without limiting the forgoing, Customer may package
and sell the Electronic Courseware Title alone, or in combination with a
Paper-based Courseware Title and/or an Exercise Disk). Prosoft reserves all
rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement.
2.2 Reproduction and Manufacture Procedure. Upon the execution
of this Agreement, Prosoft will deliver the Courseware Titles to Customer in
electronic format on "Gold Disk(s)" which will allow Customer to reproduce
copies of the Courseware Titles into individual Kits. Customer will ensure
that all Kits contain adequate copyright notices so as to protect Prosoft's
copyright interest. Customer will keep accurate records of all copies
created in accordance with Section 3.5 of this Agreement. Prosoft shall have

updates or upgrades to them, including the concepts and technology inherent
in the Courseware Titles, are, and at all times shall remain, the sole and
exclusive property of Prosoft. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
directly or indirectly be construed to assign or grant to Customer any right,
title or interest in or to the trademarks, copyrights, patents or trade
secrets of Prosoft or any ownership rights in or to the Courseware Titles.

Payments owing by Customer to Prosoft under Section 3.1. Customer's payment
of the Guaranteed License Fee shall be guaranteed, unconditional, irrevocable
and non-refundable, regardless of the number of Kits sold by the Customer to
its End Customers and the amount of the Royalty Payments due to Prosoft.

consideration for the grant by Prosoft to Customer of the right to reproduce
Kits from the Courseware Titles set forth on SCHEDULE 1 in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, and shall be payable notwithstanding the future
production of other courseware titles not set forth on SCHEDULE 1 (the
"Future Titles") by Prosoft. Prosoft shall make such Future Titles available

thirty (30) days of the end of each month for all reproductions made that
month (or for any prior month(s) for which royalties are calculable),
provided that no Royalty Payments shall be due Prosoft in any month where the
cumulative amounts paid by Customer in respect of the Guaranteed License Fee
exceed the cumulative amounts paid and owing by Customer in respect of the
Royalty Payments. All sums are to be paid in United States dollars. Any
payment not received when due shall bear interest at the rate of (10% per
annum, calculated monthly.
3.4 Records. Customer shall keep true and accurate records of
all Kits (and parts thereof) reproduced in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied. No more frequently than twice a
year, Prosoft shall have the right (upon two business days prior notice) to
have a certified public accountant selected by Prosoft audit the books of
customer to determine whether all royalties due have been paid. Prosoft
shall pay the cost of such investigation, except that should the accountant
find that the royalties for a period investigated have been underpaid by
five percent (5%) or more, the entire cost of the investigation shall be
borne by Customer. Customer shall immediately pay to Prosoft any amounts
discovered to be owed as a result of the investigation, plus interest at the
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, calculated monthly for each month the
amount due was outstanding.

and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain the same
for the extended term.

Agreement or fails to perform any duty required hereunder; or
b. Prosoft fails to comply with any legal prerequisites,
formalities, and/or material government regulations applicable to performance
of its obligations under this Agreement.
10.4 Effect of Termination. Customer agrees that upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement under this Section 10, Prosoft is
discharged from any further obligations under this Agreement and Customer's
rights to reproduce and distribute the Courseware Titles and to use Prosoft's

date of such expiration or termination except as follows: Within thirty (30)
days of the delivery by Prosoft or receipt by Prosoft of a notice of
termination at the end of any term or expiration, or within ten (10) days
after automatic termination or termination for cause, Customer shall: (1)
return to Prosoft all Gold Disk(s); and (2) destroy all copies of the

Titles or Kits that have been distributed for Customer Resale prior to the
termination date. Customer may grant the approved license to use the
Courseware Titles or Kits to end-users of these specific copies of the

that date. All licenses for Customer Resale previously given, provided they
were in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall continue in effect
after termination or expiration of the Agreement.

or protection of intellectual property or confidential information, and
provisions related to venue and choice of laws, shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

in any manner relating to, this Agreement which the parties do not resolve in
good faith within thirty (30) days after either of the parties notifies the
other of its desire to arbitrate such dispute or controversy shall be settled
by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its
then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules. Such arbitration shall be
conducted in Orange County, California. The award or decision made in such
arbitration shall be binding on the parties and judgment upon the award may
be made in any court having jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable costs and expenses of
arbitration.
12. NO AGENCY, REPRESENTATION OR JOINT VENUE. It is expressly
understood that Customer and Prosoft are business entities independent of one
another. Neither the making of this Agreement nor the performance of any
part of its terms shall be construed to constitute Customer as an agent or
representative of Prosoft for any purpose. Nor shall this Agreement be
deemed to establish a joint venture or partnership.
13. FORCE MAJEURE. Failure of Prosoft or Customer to perform its
obligations hereunder, or a portion thereof if occasioned in whole or in part
by any act of God, any act of fire, explosion, perils of sea, flood, war, or
any action of any
5
governmental authority shall excuse the non-performing party from performing
the non-performing party's obligations to perform shall be suspended for the
duration of such excusing event.

be subject to the written approval by Prosoft, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

convenience only and should not be construed to limit or expand any terms
otherwise provided.

intended recipient has previously designated by written notice. The notice
shall be sent by a prepaid courier service which requires signature for
receipt or by facsimile.
17. LEGAL REVIEW. It is acknowledged that this Agreement was
initially prepared by Prosoft. Both parties, however, have had an
opportunity for legal review of all terms. The parties therefore agree that,
in interpreting any issues which may arise, any rules of construction related
to who prepared the Agreement shall be inapplicable, each party having
contributed or having had the opportunity to contribute to clarify any issue.
18. PARTIAL ILLEGALITY. It is agreed that if any provision, or part
of a provision, of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable
under any applicable statute or rule of law, then the parties shall use their
best efforts to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision by a provision
that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, achieves the purposes
intended under the original provision and to allow the parties to have the
intended benefit of their bargain. If it cannot be so reformed it shall be
omitted. In any such instance, the balance of this Agreement shall remain
valid and unchanged and in full force and effect.
19. WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE. Any failure by either party to enforce at
any time any term or condition under this Agreement shall not be considered a
waiver of that party's right thereafter to enforce each and every term and
condition of this Agreement.
20. APPLICABLE LAW. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be
governed and construed by the laws of the state of California, and that no
conflict-of-laws provision shall be invoked to permit the laws of any other
state or jurisdiction.
21. AMENDMENTS. All amendments to or changes in this Agreement must
be in writing executed by both parties.
22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties on the subject matter above,
and supersedes any and all prior agreements (written and oral) between the
parties.
23. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement with the same effect as if all parties
had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may
be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement and reattached to any
other counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto but having
attached to it one or more additional signature pages. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that it will be bound by its own telecopied signature and that
it accepts telecopied signatures of the other parties to this Agreement, with
original signatures to be forwarded to the other party as promptly as
possible.
24. VOCATIONAL BUSINESS. The parties further agree as follows:
24.1 Customer is hereby granted a nonexclusive license under
Prosoft's post secondary status and, once Prosoft has been accredited, the
accreditation relating to Prosoft's distance learning business. Prosoft will
use its best efforts to complete the accreditation process with respect to
distance learning and shall keep Customer apprised as to its progress in this
regard. Customer shall have a nonexclusive license under this accreditation,
along with Prosoft, for so long as Prosoft operates its vocational division
(the "Vocational Division"), which is funded by Title III monies and trains
unemployed workers. Customer is hereby granted an irrevocable option (the
"Option") to acquire all of Prosoft's right, title and interest under the post
secondary status and the accreditation status and/or process (if
accreditation has not yet been attained), which option shall be immediately
exercisable by Customer at an exercise price of $1000.00 upon written notice
to Prosoft at such time as Prosoft (a) discontinues operation of the
Vocational Division, or (b) is acquired by a third party.
6
24.2 Prior to the exercise of the Option, Prosoft shall
maintain its post secondary status and distance learning accreditation in
good standing.
24.3 All revenues generated by Customer under or in respect
of the Vocational Division will be initially paid to and recognized by
Prosoft. Customer will subsequently invoice Prosoft for all amounts owing to
it.

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO COURSEWARE REPRODUCTION LICENSE AGREEMENT (the
"AMENDMENT") between PROSOFT I-NET SOLUTIONS, INC. ("PROSOFT") and TRAINING
RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "CUSTOMER") is made
and entered into as of the 1st day of August, 1998. Prosoft and the Customer
will be sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "PARTIES."
R E C I T A L S
---------------
A. The parties entered into a Courseware Reproduction License Agreement
mistakenly dated as of January 20, 1997, but intended to be dated as of
January 20, 1998 (the "LICENSE AGREEMENT").
B. The parties desire to amend the License Agreement pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, do
hereby agree as follows:
1. DATE. The date of the License Agreement is amended to read "as of
January 20, 1998."
2. SCHEDULE 2. Schedule 2 of the Agreement is hereby replaced with
Schedule 2 attached to this Amendment.
3. DEFINITIONS.
(a) A new definition of "Future Titles" shall be inserted in the
appropriate alphabetical location in Section 1 of the Agreement and shall
read as follows:
"Future Titles" shall mean Courseware Titles tied to internet skills
or training that are not set forth on Schedule 1 of this Agreement or that
are developed or published by Prosoft after the date of this Agreement, but
shall not include any courseware that is not developed by Prosoft."
(b) The definition of "Educational Institution" set forth in Section 1 of
the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the words "in the United States"
between the phrases "educational institutions" and "and all agencies".
(c) The definition of "Net Receipts" set forth in Section 1 of the
Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Net Receipts" shall mean all gross revenue received from the sales,
licensing or other distribution of the Kits, but not including revenue not
directly related to the sale or licensing of the Kits, provided that the
price charged for the Kits is an identified line item and is no less
than the Distributor's cost to produce a Kit (plus a reasonable profit
thereon and an allowance for the Royalty Payment (as defined below)
associated therewith). Examples of items that are not included in the
term "Net Receipts," include but are not limited to, taxes, duties,
tariffs, freight, shipping, support or other charges, but only to the
extent such other items are separately stated on the invoice(s).
4. SECTION 2. The title to Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"2. GRANT OF LICENSE."
5. SECTION 2.1. Section 2.1 of the Agreement will be amended to read
in its entirety as follows:
"2.1 GRANT OF LICENSE. Prosoft hereby grants to Customer an
exclusive license to use, sell, or distribute the Courseware to any
Educational Institutions. In addition, and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Prosoft hereby authorizes Customer to
reproduce and distribute the Courseware Titles exclusively for Customer
Resale. Customer may not license or sublicense the courseware Titles to
any third parties in any form without the prior written consent of
Prosoft (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Customer
agrees not to reverse compile or translate the Courseware Titles, in
whole or in part. Customer shall have the right, however, to
disassemble and reassemble any of the Courseware Titles and to sell the
reassembled titles in the same manner as the Courseware Titles, subject
to the same License Fee, provided that (a) such sale of reassembled
Courseware Titles may only occur to the Educational Institutions, and
(b) such reassembled products must be approved by Prosoft if the Prosoft
trademark or tradename is attached to such reassembled products.
Customer shall have the rights to sell the Kits, or any part thereof, in
any combination of elements that it deems appropriate (for example,
without limiting the forgoing, Customer may package and sell the
Electronic Courseware Title alone, or in combination with a Paper-based
Courseware Title and/or an Exercise Disk). Prosoft reserves all rights
not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement."
2
6. SECTION 3. Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 of the Agreement are hereby
amended to read in their entirety as follows:
"3. LICENSE FEES.
3.1 ROYALTY PAYMENTS. Customer shall pay to Prosoft twenty
percent (20%) of Customer's Net Receipts from Customer's distribution of
the Kits (such amounts being referred to herein as the "Royalty
Payments"). Such royalty Payments shall be payable in accordance with
Section 3.3 hereof.
3.2 GUARANTEED LICENSE FEE. Upon execution of this Agreement,
Customer shall be immediately bound and obligated to pay to Prosoft a
guaranteed, non-refundable license fee in the amount of $1,600,000 (the
"GUARANTEED LICENSE FEE") on such dates as specified on Schedule 2,
which Guaranteed License Fee shall constitute an advance by Customer on
all Royalty Payments owing by Customer to Prosoft under Section 3.1.
Such payments of the Guaranteed License shall be made strictly on the
dates set forth on Schedule 2, and there shall be no grace period for
the payment thereof. Customer's payment of the Guaranteed License Fee
shall be guaranteed, unconditional, irrevocable and non-refundable,
regardless of the number of Kits sold by the Customer to its End
Customers and the amount of the Royalty Payments due to Prosoft. The
payment by customer of the Guaranteed License Fee shall serve as
consideration for the grant by Prosoft to Customer of the right to
reproduce Kits from the courseware Titles set forth on Schedule 1 in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall be payable
notwithstanding the existence of the Future Titles. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Customer shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to substitute Future Titles for any of
the Courseware Titles set forth on Schedule 1 (and Prosoft agrees to
identify the existence and nature of such Future Titles upon Customer's
request) and such substituted Future Titles will become "Courseware
Titles" for all purposes under this Agreement, so long as the total
number of Courseware Titles subject to this Agreement does not increase
in number, provided, however, that with respect to uses, sales or
distributions by Customer of Courseware to Educational Institutions,
Customer shall have the right to substitute Future Titles in its
discretion (including Future Titles relating to Prosoft's Internet
Certification programs provided that the purchaser of such Kits shall
have executed a CIW license agreement in form supplied by Prosoft) and
without any prior refusal right of Prosoft."
3.3 PAYMENTS DUE. Customer shall provide monthly written reports
indicating the quantities of Kits (and the parts thereof) reproduced
3
and the Royalty Payments due thereon, and such amounts shall be paid
within thirty (30) days of the end of each month for all reproductions
made that month (or for any prior month(s) for which royalties are
calculable), provided that no Royalty Payments shall be due Prosoft
until the total amount of all Royalty Payments owing exceed the
cumulative amount of the Guaranteed License Fee paid to Prosoft as of
the date of determination, and then only to the extent of the excess.
All sums are to be paid in United States dollars. Any payment not
received when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum,
calculated monthly."
7. SECTION 4. Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:
"4. RESELLER AGREEMENT; GRANT OF EXCLUSIVITY.
4.1. RESELLER AGREEMENT. Customer, upon execution of a Training
Resale Agreement, the form of which will be provided by Prosoft and
which will be substantially similar to other reseller agreements entered
into by Prosoft and its third party resellers at that time (the
"Reseller Agreement"), shall have the right to become a non-exclusive
reseller of Prosoft's instructor led training to Educational
Institutions, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Reseller
Agreement.
4.2. GRANT OF EXCLUSIVITY. From the effective date until
Termination Date (as defined below), Customer shall have the exclusive
right to resell the Courseware Titles to Educational Institutions. In
the event that Customer elects the Renewal Option in accordance with
Section 10 hereof, then Customer shall have the exclusive right to
resell the Courseware Titles to Educational Institutions through
January 31, 2008. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither
(i) Prosoft and its agents, affiliates and employees, nor (ii) any other
third party, (the parties referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) being
referred to herein as the "Restricted Parties"), shall sell or
distribute the Courseware Titles to any Educational Institution during
the Exclusivity Period. Prosoft, at its sole cost and expense, shall
take all necessary measures and actions (including the prosecution of
lawsuits and injunctions with the proper courts) to insure that no
Restricted Parties shall sell or distribute the courseware Titles to any
Educational Institution during the Exclusivity Period. For purposes
hereof, the term "EI TRAINING EVENT" shall include, but not necessarily
be limited to, seminars, instructor led training, distance learning, and
the like, that any of the Restricted Parties deliver to any Educational
Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Courseware Titles may be sold or distributed by the Restricted
Parties to any Educational Institution in connection with an EI Training
Event during the Exclusivity Period, provided that Prosoft pays to
Customer a sublicense fee
4
as follows: (a) in the case where Prosoft directly sells any EI Training
Event to any Educational Institution, 25 percent of the invoiced revenue
(not including instructor travel expenses, room rental charges,
equipment rental charges and other costs not associated with instruction
and content (such excluded costs being referred to as "Excluded Costs"))
for such EI Training Event; (b) in the case where a third party sells
any EI Training Event to any Educational Institution on behalf of
Prosoft, 30% of the fee (not including Excluded Costs) that Prosoft
receives from such third party; (c) in the case where a third party
sells a single seat for an EI Training Event to a student associated
with any Educational Institution, 3 percent of the revenue received by
Prosoft (not including Excluded Costs) arising from such student's
participation in such EI Training Event; and (d) in the case where
Prosoft sells any Courseware Titles or any Kits to any Educational
Institution where such a sale is not related to an EI Training Event, 75
percent of the invoiced revenue relating to such sale, provided that
Customer shall have given Prosoft its prior written approval of the terms
and conditions of such sale prior to the consummation thereof. With
respect to any amounts owing by Prosoft to Customer in connection with
clauses (a) through (d) above, such amounts shall be considered "Net
Receipts" for purposes of this Agreement, and Prosoft shall provide
Customer with quarterly written reports describing the EI Training
Events that have occurred and the amounts owing Customer for the
three-month periods ending January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31
(the "Prosoft Quarter-End Dates") during the term of this Agreement.
Such written reports, and the payments owing by Prosoft for such
quarters, shall be delivered to Customer within 30 days of each of the
Prosoft Quarter-End Dates."
8. SECTION 7.4. A new Section 7.4 of the Agreement shall be added and
shall read as follows:
"7.4 Changes to Trade-dress. In the event that Prosoft alters its
trade dress, Prosoft shall notify the customer of the details of such
change and Customer shall promptly begin using the new trade-dress in
connection with the Kits."
9. SECTION 14. Section 14 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:
"14. ASSIGNMENT. Except as provided herein, neither party may assign
their rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, either party may assign this
Agreement to a company which acquires all or substantially all of its
assets or into which it is merged, provided that such acquiring company
assumes
5
all the obligations under this Agreement."
10. SECTION 24.1. Section 24.1 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
"24.1. Customer is hereby granted a nonexclusive license
under Prosoft's post secondary status and, once Prosoft has been
accredited, the accreditation, to be used by Customer is its distance
learning business. Prosoft will use its best efforts to complete the
accreditation process and will diligently pursue such process through to
completion. Prosoft will provide Customer with a timetable for the
completion of the accreditation process, which timetable shall be
subject to the reasonable approval of Customer. Prosoft shall keep
Customer apprised as to its progress in this regard. Customer shall have
a nonexeclusive license under this accreditation, along with Prosoft,
for so long as Prosoft operates its vocational division (the "Vocational
Division"), that is, for so long as it is funded by Title III monies and
trains unemployed workers. Customer is hereby granted an irrevocable
option (the "Option") to acquire all of Prosoft's right, title and
interest under the post secondary status and the accreditation status
and/or process (if accreditation has not yet been attained), which
option shall be immediately exercisable by Customer at an exercise price
of $1,000.00 upon written notice to Prosoft at such time as Prosoft (a)
discontinues operation of the Vocation Division, or (b) is acquired by a
third party."
Other than as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and the parties hereby ratify and reaffirm the Agreement as so
amended. All references in the Agreement to "the Agreement," "this Agreement,"
"hereof" and words of like import shall mean the Agreement as modified by this
