     2.1    E-MarketPro Agreement Amendment
            -------------------------------

     During the term of this Agreement, (i) the E-MarketPro Agreement is hereby
amended to the extent it is inconsistent with this Agreement as it applies to
the Initial Market Area and the Contiguous States and (ii) E-MarketPro hereby
waives all rights under the E-MarketPro Agreement to market and offer Access
with respect to those specific geographic areas (which instead shall be governed
by this Agreement).

     2.2    ZoomTown.com
            ------------

Purchase Pro, E-MarketPro and ZoomTown.com agree that this Agreement grants
ZoomTown.com the right, as Purchase Pro's agent and representative and on the
terms set forth herein, to market and offer (which terms may include the right
to issue Customer IDs in accordance with Purchase Pro's standard policies and
practices to Customers), on behalf of Purchase Pro, Access to Purchase Pro's
Software worldwide.  ZoomTown.com also is granted a non-exclusive license to use
the Software and other proprietary materials of Purchase Pro as and for the
purposes set forth herein.  The rights granted ZoomTown.com hereunder and
ZoomTown.com's appointment hereunder as Purchase Pro's agent to market and offer
Access to the Software are subject to the following:

     (a)     ZoomTown.com's right to market and offer Access in geographic areas
comprising the Initial Market Area shall be, subject to Purchase Pro's rights
with respect to Purchase Pro House Account Customers, (i) exclusive in the State
of Ohio and (ii) co-exclusive, with E-MarketPro's similar appointment under
Paragraph 2.3 below, in the State of Kentucky. Subject to subparagraphs 2.2(b)
and 2.2(c) below, ZoomTown.com's right to market and offer Access in geographic
areas outside the Initial Market Area shall be non-exclusive, notwithstanding
any future expansions of the Market Area due to an expansion of the ZoomTown.com
network to geographic locations pursuant to subparagraph 1(r) above.

     (b)     Purchase Pro reserves the right to grant third parties exclusive
rights to market and offer Access to the Software in specific geographic area(s)
within the Contiguous States, subject to the provisions of this subparagraph
2.2(b). If PurchasePro desires to grant exclusive rights to market and offer
Access to the Software in specific geographic area(s) within the Contiguous
States, then Purchase Pro shall offer that exclusivity in writing to
ZoomTown.com under the terms of this Agreement as an expansion of the Market
Area. If ZoomTown.com accepts Purchase Pro's offer in


                                 Confidential

                                      -4-

 
writing within thirty (30) days, then the Market Area shall be expanded to
include said geographic area(s) on an exclusive basis (even as to E-MarketPro,
except for Access to the co-branded Software by persons or entities located in
that geographic area that result from E-MarketPro customers requesting Access
for their suppliers or customers who are in that geographic area). If
ZoomTown.com does not so accept Purchase Pro's offer, then E-MarketPro shall
have a right of first refusal to acquire exclusive rights (even as to
ZoomTown.com, except for Access by persons or entities located in that
geographic area that result from Customers requesting Access for their suppliers
or customers who are in that geographic area) in those geographic area(s) on a
'match-offer' basis (which right shall be exercisable, if at all, during the ten
(10) day period that follows the lapse of ZoomTown.com's thirty (30) day
acceptance period described in the preceding sentence). If ZoomTown.com does not
so accept exclusivity and expansion of the Market Area and E-MarketPro does not
so exercise its right of first refusal in a given geographic area, then if
Purchase Pro enters into such exclusive agreement with a third party, neither
ZoomTown.com nor E-MarketPro shall have any further right to market and offer
Access to the Software in that geographic area thereafter, except for Access by
persons or entities located in that geographic area that result from Customers
requesting Access for their suppliers or customers who are in that geographic
area.

     (c)  Purchase Pro reserves the right to grant third parties exclusive
rights to market and offer Access to the Software in specific geographic area(s)
outside of the Initial Market Area and the Contiguous States.

     (d)  ZoomTown.com may elect to provide (and license, to the extent of any
proprietary rights of ZoomTown.com therein) to Purchase Pro, and Purchase Pro
may in turn provide and, if applicable, sublicense to the third party, a turnkey
type package that will allow the third party to replicate ZoomTown.com's First
Tier Support structure and ZoomTown Website page(s) relating to the Software and
to develop, host, maintain, train and market and offer Access to the Software in
the third party's geographic area in a manner that is comparable to
ZoomTown.com's efforts in the Market Area. If a third party is so provided a
turnkey package pursuant to this subparagraph 2.2(d), then Purchase Pro shall
pay, quarterly, royalties equal to (i) ** of the Gross Revenue from such third
                                       --
party's customers located (determined in the same manner as Customers are
determined; see subparagraph 1(r) above) in such third party's geographic area
to ZoomTown.com and (ii) ** of such Gross Revenue to E-MarketPro. Any amounts
                         --
owed to ZoomTown.com pursuant to this provision shall be in addition to any
amounts that may otherwise be owed to ZoomTown pursuant to Paragraph 5, below.

     (e)  ZoomTown.com's exclusive rights to market and offer Access to the
Software as provided in this Agreement notwithstanding, ZoomTown.com's rights to
market and offer Access to the Software to Purchase Pro House Account Customers
always shall be non-exclusive. Purchase Pro House Account Customers that are
located in the Market Area (see subparagraph 1(r) above) shall be granted Access
to (i) a fully-featured version of the co-branded Software, if charged the full
price determined according to Paragraph 5.1 below, or (ii) a restricted version
of the Software that is not co-branded and does not include the ability to
access the 'public network' national market place that is a feature of the co-
branded Software, if charged less than the full price determined according to
Paragraph 5.1 below. ZoomTown.com may market and offer an upgrade up to the
fully-featured version of the Software to Purchase Pro House Account Customers
located in the Market Area that receive the restricted version.

     This Agreement shall terminate, at the option of a non-defaulting party,
upon substantial default or material breach of any of the terms, conditions, or

           otherwise, the responsible party shall continue to remit to the other
           party all amounts owed, pursuant to Paragraph 5.2, above.

     (ii)      In the event this Agreement is terminated, ZoomTown.com shall be
           permitted to offer to any Customer any such other or additional
           software and services, whether competing or not, or access thereto,

understood and agreed by the parties that the right to declare default hereunder
by E-MarketPro shall be limited to claims of non-payment under Paragraph 5 and
Paragraph 2.2(d) and claims of breach of obligations to offer the right of first
refusal under Paragraph 2.2(c), and E-MarketPro specifically waives any rights
to declare default except for those claims specified above.  In the event E-
MarketPro declares default, remedies shall be limited to collection of amounts
found owing to E-MarketPro.  In no event shall a declaration of default by E-
MarketPro constitute a default of any other provision hereunder, or relieve any
party including E-MarketPro, from continuing to perform all obligations
hereunder.

or an assignment to an entity directly or indirectly owning or controlling,
owned or controlled by, or under common control with the assigning party and, in
any event, shall not be unreasonably withheld except for good and just cause and
shall not be deemed a waiver of this Article for any proposed subsequent
assignments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, ZoomTown.com shall retain the right
to terminate this Agreement without further obligation or liability to Purchase
Pro or E-MarketPro, its successors or assigns, if, in its sole and exclusive
judgment, any assignment or purported assignment by Purchase Pro or E-MarketPro
is to be made to a competitor of Cincinnati Bell.
