Former Egreetings and Excite Executive to Head-Up Business Development for DriveOff.com
     Scott Derringer Charged with Ramping up Strategic Licensing Program

    DENVER, Feb. 10 -- DriveOff.com, the automotive e-commerce
subsidiary of Navidec Inc. , today announced that Scott
Derringer joined the organization as executive director of business
development.  Derringer will be the driving force behind the continued
enhancements of DriveOff.com and rolling out the company's Strategic Licensing
Program.
   Derringer joins DriveOff.com after working as director of product
development for Egreetings.  Prior to Egreetings, he spent two years at Excite
where he created the portal's Autos Channel on the way to becoming the head of
Excite Communities.
    "Scott's expertise in the online automotive marketplace combined with his
proven track record of building successful partnerships with top-tier
organizations will make him a key component in the growth and success of
DriveOff.com," said Michael Kranitz, president of DriveOff.com.
    In addition to driving the functionality, design and technological
enhancements of DriveOff.com, Derringer will be in charge of the company's
Strategic Licensing Program that will be rolled out in mid-March.  By
licensing its software to third parties on a private-label or co-branded
basis, DriveOff.com's Strategic Licensing Program will bring more buyers
through the DriveOff.com system without the costs traditionally associated
with attracting online buyers.
    DriveOff.com will launch its Strategic Licensing Program to serve national
lenders, credit unions, large membership organizations and other affinity
organizations that wish to offer a comprehensive online auto buying and
leasing service.  Without any related marketing and advertising costs, the
Strategic Licensing Program allows DriveOff.com to earn revenue on every
transaction its partners' sites generate.
    "While our competitors pay millions in ad dollars for eyeballs, our
Strategic Licensing Program partners will produce revenue for DriveOff.com at
virtually no incremental cost to us," said Kranitz.  "Scott's expertise in
identifying and attracting partners will help ensure the success of this
program."
    At Egreetings, Derringer spearheaded the company's strategy of integrating
e-commerce applications from partners including CDNOW, FTD.com and RedEnvelope
into the Egreetings web site.  Under Derringer's direction, the Excite Autos
Channel became Excite's most valuable e-commerce property.
