from the Projected Needs Report which SDG agrees to provide (the
"Purchase Orders"). The Company acknowledges that delivery times for
diamonds and jewelry may range between 3 and 10 weeks from the date SDG

and certification requirements and manufacturing requirements, as the
case may be, unless SDG notifies the Company that such Inventory item
is "in production."
5.3 REPLENISHMENT. If the Company deems it desirable to replenish any
Inventory which has been sold ("Replenished Products") prior to the Quarterly
Meeting, the Company shall offer the right of first refusal to SDG to provide
the Replenished Products at competitive market pricing and on such other terms
as mutually agreed upon by the parties.
6. SEARCH CRITERIA FOR DIAMONDS OFFERED BY THE COMPANY.
Through the Company's websites, the Company offers its users the
opportunity to search for loose stone diamonds based on color, cut, clarity,
approximate carat weight and retail price (collectively, the "Search Criteria").
The Company has and will continue to use its best efforts to ensure that persons
who use the Search Criteria will first be shown offerings of those certain loose
stone diamonds provided to the Company by SDG pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement or otherwise, and which are in the possession of the Company (the "SDG
Offerings"). The Company intends to work with SDG to increase the amount of
loose stone diamond offerings that are SDG Offerings. However, if a customer on
the Company's websites chooses to purchase a particular loose stone diamond that
is not a SDG Offering, then the Company shall be free to sell this selection to
such customer.
7. LOOSE STONE DIAMONDS NOT OFFERED ON THE COMPANY'S WEBSITES.
Within 24 hours of the Company receiving a request from a customer for
a loose stone diamond which is not offered on the Company's websites (a
"Non-Website Diamond"), the Company shall provide SDG with the information
regarding its need for the Non-Website Diamond, which information shall include
cut, clarity, color and approximate carat weight and delivery needs. SDG shall
have 24 hours to inform the Company of its intent to provide the Company with
the Non-Website Diamond or a similar diamond, provided howeer, that such diamond
will be provided by SDG at cash market pricing. The Company and SDG acknowledge
that time is of the essence when fulfilling a customer request for a Non-Website
Diamond.
