set forth above (the "Commencement Date") and end on the earlier of: (i) the
third anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) the termination of the
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.A. hereof.

         3. UMG OBLIGATIONS.

                  A. Availability of Content. During the Term, UMG shall, and
shall cause those entities over which it exercises actual control regularly to
(UMG and such entities, for the period that such actual control exists,
collectively and individually the "UMG Entities"), make Content available to the
Company at the times and on the terms as set forth herein.

                           i. Generally Available Content. "Generally Available
Content" is Content which the UMG Entities make available to unaffiliated third
parties for use on web sites. The UMG Entities shall regularly provide to the
Company the right to use Generally Available Content, and may provide additional
Content on a non-exclusive basis, all of which may be used by Company solely on
one or more web sites owned by Company Entities and web sites operated by the
Company as part of a joint venture in which the Company owns fifty percent (50%)
or more of the economic interest, and solely for the promotion and marketing of
UMG Entity artists (it being understood and agreed that the Company Entities
acquire no right, title or interest in such Content other than the same rights
to use such Content generally provided by the relevant UMG Entity to other
unaffiliated web sites) and shall be provided by the relevant UMG Entity on the
Availability Date for such Content. [***]*

                           ii. Special Content. "Special Content" is content
which the UMG Entities make available only to one or more Company Entities, or

   the Securities and Exchange Commission.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

regularly provide to the Company Entities the right to license Special Content
(i) for an exclusive period prior to the Availability Date, or (ii) exclusively,
or (iii) on a limited non-exclusive basis (i.e., such Special Content shall be
available for some period of time only to the Company Entities and a limited
number of other third parties). The parties acknowledge and agree that Special
Content may be made available only on the payment by the Company Entities of a
(x) license or similar fee, or (y) in return for the cost of developing and
creating such Special Content, or (z) on payment of the UMG Entities costs for
such Special Content. All financial terms and other terms and conditions
applicable to any particular Special Content shall be negotiated in good faith
by the parties, [***]* Examples of Special Content might be instances where a
UMG Entity has the right to license or provide: (A) a cybercast, made available
first and exclusively to the Company for a limited period of time or a limited
number of broadcasts, and for which Company would pay a fee and any required
Third Party Payments; (B) an exclusive chat with a UMG artist on terms which may
or may not include a fee; and (C) prizes or promotional items provided at the
UMG Entities' cost. The UMG Entities, collectively, shall in each Term Year
offer sufficient Special Content to the Company Entities so that the Company
Entities could, if they choose to license such Special Content, meet the Company
Yearly Minimum Commitment and assuming the Agreement is not terminated pursuant
to Section 6.A.(ii), the Company Term Minimum Commitment.

                           iii. For purposes of clarity, the UMG Entities'
obligation hereunder is to make Content available to the Company; subject to
Section 4.D. hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to license, acquire or
use such Content. On each license or purchase by a Company Entity of Content
(i.e., where a Company Entity will be required to pay for such Content), the
parties shall promptly memorialize the financial and all other terms applicable
to such purchase and promptly provide a copy of such memorialization to each of
the Company Contact Person and the UMG Contact Person (it being acknowledged and
agreed that failure so to provide such a copy shall not invalidate or otherwise
affect such license or purchase or the terms applicable thereto).

                  B. Minimum Purchase Commitment. Subject to the further terms
and provisions of this Agreement, (i) in each twelve month period commencing on
the Commencement Date or the first or second anniversary thereof and ending on
the day immediately preceding the next such anniversary of the Commencement Date
(each such period, a "Term Year"), UMG and its Affiliates shall purchase, in the
aggregate, not less than [***]* of Marketing Support from the Company Entities
(the "UMG Yearly Minimum Commitment"), and (ii) during the Term, the UMG
Affiliates shall purchase not less than [***]* of Marketing Support from the
Company Entities (the "UMG Term Minimum Commitment"). If, as a result of a
termination of the Agreement by UMG pursuant to Section 6.A. hereof the Term of
this Agreement terminates prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement
Date, the obligations under this Section 3.B. shall be pro rated to take into
account such early termination.

                  C. Derived Analyses. Each UMG Entity shall promptly after its
completion make each Derived Analysis available to the Company, at no charge,
provided the Company shall not transfer, assign, sell or disclose such Derived
Analyses to any unaffiliated third party without UMG's consent, provided a
Derived Analysis related to a particular artist or entity controlling the rights
to substantially all the content underlying such Derived Analysis may be made
available (without rights to further assign, sell or disclose) to the applicable
artist or entity. The parties shall hereafter agree on the form and media in
which such Derived Analyses shall be provided to the Company.

                  D. Contact Person. The UMG Entities, collectively, shall
promptly hereafter appoint (and shall maintain throughout the Term) at least one
person to be the primary contact person (the "UMG Contact Person") who shall
coordinate with the Company Contact Person with respect to all operational and
similar purposes under this Agreement, which person may change from time to time
as designated by UMG in its sole discretion.

         4. COMPANY OBLIGATIONS.

                  A. Availability of Marketing Support. During the Term and
subject to the further provisions of this Section 4, the Company shall, and
shall cause entities over which it exercises actual control to (the Company and
such entities, collectively and individually, the "Company Entities"), make any
Marketing Support the Company Entities make available to third parties available
to the UMG Affiliates, [***].* For purposes of clarity, the Company Entities'
obligation hereunder is to make Marketing Support available to UMG Affiliates;
subject to Section 3.B. hereof, the UMG Affiliates shall have no obligation to
acquire or use any particular Marketing Support product or service. The parties
shall promptly memorialize the financial and all other terms applicable to the
provision of such marketing support and promptly provide a copy of such
memorialization to each of the UMG Contact Person and the Company Contact Person
(it being acknowledged and agreed that the failure so to provide such a copy
shall not invalidate or otherwise affect such transaction or the terms
applicable thereto).

                  B. Provision of UMG Data. The Company shall, and shall cause
each Company Entity to provide to UMG copies of all UMG Data from time to time
as requested by UMG, but not less frequently than monthly. The parties shall
hereafter agree on the form and media in which such data shall be provided to
UMG, it being understood and agreed that UMG shall be entitled to the UMG Data
in digital format, and that the Company shall reasonably cooperate with UMG in
creating data collection fields for UMG Artist Sites. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the provision of UMG Data to
UMG may be subject to artist consent.

                  C. Provision of Other Data, Derived Analyses. During the Term,
the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Entity to, notify UMG promptly
after the date on which such Company Entity makes any Other Data or Derived
Analyses available to any unaffiliated third party, identifying in reasonable
detail: (i) the nature of such Other Data or

                                       6

Derived Analyses, and (ii) the financial and other terms applicable to such
Other Data or Derived Analyses [***.]* Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, no Company Entity shall be obligated under this
Agreement to provide any UMG Entity with any data (x) if the artist has the
right to approve the dissemination of such data to a UMG Entity and has not give
such approval, (y) subject to Section 4.F. hereof, the dissemination of such
data would violate the privacy policy of the applicable Company Entity, or (z)
the dissemination of such data would violate any law, statute or regulation then
in effect including if applicable The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
and any regulation promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission or any other
governmental entity (whether United States or foreign) and, in the case of (y)
and (z), such data is not being provided to other unaffiliated third parties.
Without the relevant Company Entity's prior written consent, or as permitted by
the terms applicable to such Other Data or Derived Analyses consistent with
clause (ii)(b) of the first sentence of this Section 4.C., UMG shall not be
entitled to transfer, assign, sell or disclose such Other Data or Derived
Analyses other than to UMG Entities, and shall (and shall permit the UMG
Entities to) use such Other Data or Derived Analyses solely for internal
marketing research and analysis. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, Other Data or a Derived Analysis related to a particular artist may be
made available (without rights to further assign, sell or disclose) to the
applicable artist.

                  D. Minimum Purchase Commitment. Subject to the further terms
and provisions of this Agreement, (i) in each Term Year the Company Entities
shall purchase, in the aggregate, not less than [***]* of Content from the UMG
Entities (the "Company Yearly Minimum Commitment"), and (ii) during the Term,
the Company Entities shall purchase not less than [***]* of Content from the UMG
Entities (the "Company Term Minimum Commitment"). If as a result of a
termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 6.A. hereof the
Term of this Agreement terminates prior to the third anniversary of the
Commencement Date, the obligations under this Section 4.D. shall be pro rated to
take into account such early termination.

                  E. Contact Person. The Company Entities, collectively, shall
promptly hereafter appoint (and shall maintain throughout the Term) at least one
person to be the primary contact person (the "Company Contact Person") to

designated by the Company in its sole discretion.

                  F. Efforts to Obtain Consents; Anti-Discrimination. The
Company Entities shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek and

         5. SET-OFF AND TERM YEAR PAYMENTS.

                  A. Set-Off Right. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company Entities shall be entitled to set-off all
amounts owed by them to any UMG Entity under this Agreement against all amounts
owed to any of them by any UMG Affiliate under this Agreement, and the UMG
Affiliates shall be entitled to set-off all amounts owed by them to any Company
Entity under this Agreement against all amounts owed to any of them by any
Company Entity under this Agreement (the "Set-Off Right"). Not later than 30
days after the end of each Term Year, each of UMG and the Company shall provide
to the other a schedule listing in sufficient detail to identify the
transaction, all purchases made by an entity from the other and for which UMG or
the Company, as the case may be, can and will set-off under this Agreement.

                  B. True Up Payments. Due to the availability of the Set-Off
Right, the parties acknowledge and agree that no payments shall be due from one
to the other hereunder with respect to any Term Year unless (i) at the end of
such Term Year, only one of UMG or the Company has met its Yearly Minimum
Commitment, and (ii) the entity meeting its Yearly Minimum Commitment (the
"Complying Party") notifies the other, within forty-five days of the end of such
Term Year that the Complying Party has met its Yearly Minimum Commitment, and
that the other party (the "Noncomplying Party") has not, demands that the
Noncomplying Party meet its Yearly Minimum Commitment for such Term Year, and
specifies the amount of the Yearly Minimum Commitment outstanding at the end of
the relevant Term Year (such notice, the "Yearly Compliance Notice"). If the
Noncomplying Party has not, within 60 days of such Yearly Compliance Notice (the
"Extension Period") purchased such amount of Marketing Support or Content, as
applicable, within such Extension Period as would (when aggregated whether with
the purchases made during the applicable Term Year) meet its Yearly Minimum
Commitment, it shall, not later than the 60th day after such Yearly Compliance
Notice pay such amount of the Yearly Minimum Commitment (the "True Up Payment")
which remains unmet as of the end of such 60 day period, in cash, to the
Complying Party. Purchases of Marketing Support or Content, as applicable, made
in the Extension Period after a Yearly Compliance notice and included in
calculating a True Up Payment may not be included for purposes of ascertaining
whether the Noncomplying Party has met its Yearly Minimum Commitment in any
other Term Year but (for purposes of clarity) shall be included in calculating
whether a party has made its Term Minimum Commitment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the UMG Entities have not made Special Content available to the
Company in the first or second Term Year in an amount sufficient for the Company
Entities to actually expend amounts sufficient to meet the Company Yearly
Minimum Commitment during the applicable Term Year (including the Extension
Period), the amount of such shortfall (the "Yearly Shortfall Amount") shall not
be required to be paid in cash by Company at the end of such Term Year, the
Yearly Shortfall Amount shall be deemed paid by the Company for purposes of
calculating whether the Company has met its Term Minimum Commitment, and UMG
shall pay the Company in cash the amount

by which (A) the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts spent by the UMG Entities
in the aggregate for Marketing Support in such Term Year and (ii) [***,]* exceed
(B) the aggregate amounts spent by the Company Entities in such Term Year, for
Content. At the end of the Term, the parties' (and their Affiliates') respective
aggregate purchases of Marketing Support and Content, respectively, during the
entire Term shall be calculated. If, as of the end of the Term, either party has
failed to meet its Term Minimum Commitment, and has not, within 60 days of the
end of the Term, purchased such amount of Marketing Support or Content, as
applicable, within such 60 day period as would (when aggregated with all other
purchases made during the Term) meet its Term Minimum Commitment, such
non-complying party shall, not later than the 60th day after the end of the Term
pay to the other party the difference between the non-complying party's Term
Minimum Commitment and the amount actually spent by it during the Term and such
60 day post-Term period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the end of the
Term the UMG Entities have not made Special Content available to the Company
during the Term in an amount sufficient for the Company Entities to actually
expend amounts sufficient to meet the Company Term Minimum Commitment, the
amount of such shortfall (the "Term Shortfall Amount") shall not be required to
be paid in cash by Company at the end of the Term, and UMG shall pay the Company
in cash the amount by which (A) the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts spent by
the UMG Entities in the aggregate for Marketing Support during the Term and (ii)
[***,]* exceed (B) the aggregate amounts spent by the Company Entities during
the Term for Content (taking into account the "deemed paid" amounts set forth
above). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
remedy provided for in this Section 5.B. shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
for any breach or alleged breach of the parties' respective obligations under
Sections 3.B. and 4.D.

                  C. Limitations on Set Off. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, a party which purchases Content or Marketing Support,
as the case may be, (i) in excess of [***]* in any Term Year, or (ii) in excess
of [***]* during the Term shall, for each and every purchase over either such
limit, pay cash for such purchase in accordance with the payment terms otherwise
applicable to such transaction. Unless and until the aggregate of all cash
payments made by a party (and its affiliates) hereunder exceeds (together with
all amounts set-off or eligible for set-off hereunder) [***]* such cash
payments shall be included in any calculation of whether such party has met its
Term Minimum Commitment.

                  D. Other Purchases. By mutual agreement of the parties, any
purchase made by one party (or its Affiliates) from the other (or its
Affiliates) which does not otherwise fall under the categories described in this
Agreement (e.g., a purchase by the Company of marketing or promotional services
or advertising from a UMG Entity or the provision of music digital downloads by
a UMG Entity to the Company) may be deemed to be "Content" or "Marketing
Support" for the purpose of calculating whether a party has met its Yearly
Minimum Commitment or Term Minimum Commitment hereunder.

                  A. Early Termination. Either party may terminate this
Agreement (i) on the material breach of the other party, subject to notice and a
reasonable (not to exceed 30 days) period to cure, or on the occurrence of an
insolvency event with respect to the other party, or (ii) if the UMG Entities
fail to make sufficient Special Content available in the first two Term Years so
that the Company Entities fail to meet the Company Yearly Minimum Commitment
hereunder in each of such years.

         7. MISCELLANEOUS.
