                                    AGREEMENT

         This agreement (the "Agreement") is by and between CNNfn.com, a
division of Cable News Network LP, LLLP ("CNNfn.com") and YellowBrix, Inc, a
Delaware corporation formerly known as Newsreal, Inc., and BizWatch, Inc.
("YellowBrix").

         Each of CNNfn.com and YellowBrix was a party to an earlier agreement
dated as of April 1, 1998, and amended April 21, 1999, by and between CNNfn.com
and Bizwatch, Inc. (now known as YellowBrix), with a term ending as of March 31,
2000 (the "Prior Agreement"). This Agreement supercedes and replaces all
previous agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter herein.

         The parties hereto agree, among other things, to co-brand an area on
CNNfn.com and contribute various elements thereto as more specifically described
below on the following terms and conditions:

         1.       Term.

         The term of this Agreement is for two years, beginning as of April 1,
2000 and ending as of March 31, 2002.

         2.       Industry Watch Product.

         (a)      During the term of this Agreement, YellowBrix hereby agrees to
develop and make available to CNNfn.com the co-branded Industry Watch Product as
more specifically described on Exhibit A hereto (the "Industry Watch Product").
The Industry Watch Product will be hosted and served by YellowBrix. The Industry
Watch Product will display both parties' trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames,
logos and/or designations as specified by CNNfn.com in its reasonable
discretion. CNNfn.com acknowledges and agrees that, subject only to CNNfn.com's
ownership of all rights, title and interest in and to works or other materials
provided by CNNfn.com to YellowBrix in furtherance of the production and
continued development of the Industry Watch Product (including, without
limitation, trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames, logos and CNNfn.com Content,
as defined herein), as between CNNfn.com and YellowBrix, the Industry Watch
Product is the property of and owned by YellowBrix. The parties further
acknowledge that the Industry Watch Product is comprised of additional content
acquired by YellowBrix from third parties and no claim or representation of
ownership is made by YellowBrix to such third-party content.

         (b)      It is agreed that the Industry Watch Product shall, at a
minimum, contain substantially the same industry categories, functionality,
capabilities and content as available on the previously available CNNfn.com
co-branded Industry Watch Product provided pursuant to the Prior Agreement and
any YellowBrix website or on any YellowBrix licensee website with a similar
contractual agreement at all times during the Term. CNNfn.com acknowledges that
portions of the YellowBrix content may be subject to third-party rights
restrictions that limit YellowBrix's ability to provide the same to



                                      -1-

CNNfn.com in the Industry Watch Product; nonetheless, YellowBrix agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to secure sufficient rights to any third-party
content to allow it to provide the same to CNNfn.com hereunder. YellowBrix
further represents and warrants that it shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that the technology provided by it at all times during the
term of this Agreement is "state of the art" such that it meets or exceeds
comparable functionality available in the industry, provided, however, that the
inability or failure of YellowBrix to achieve this goal will not be deemed a
breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, YellowBrix will exclude
or limit particular third-party content (including but not limited to BBC and
Bridge News content) from the database for the Industry Watch Product at
CNNfn.com's written request as CNNfn.com shall, as between CNNfn.com and
YellowBrix, retain exclusive editorial control over all content available and
accessible through the CNNfn.com web site. The Industry Watch Product shall be
made available to CNNfn.com on an exclusive basis for use and access by users of
the CNNfn.com web site.

         (c)      It is agreed that YellowBrix will redesign and update the
CNNfn.com Industry Watch pages per CNNfn.com specifications within 30 days of
receiving such specifications from CNNfn.com after the signing of this agreement
and that the parties hereto will use their best efforts to ensure that the
redesigned and updated version of the Industry Watch Product is live on
CNNfn.com within 20 days after receipt of such specifications. Additional
material redesigns and updates made at CNNfn.com's request beyond one initial
material redesign and update shall be charged at YellowBrix's then standard
rates.

         (d)      The CNNfn.com website shall link to the Industry Watch Product
throughout the term. Presentation of such links (including but not limited to
the placement, size, font, color, wording, and any use of graphics or text) and
quantity of all links to the Industry Watch Product shall remain at CNNfn.com's
sole discretion throughout the term and may change at any time for any reason.
CNNfn.com guarantees no specific placements, impressions levels or clickthroughs
for any or all such links to the Industry Watch Product. However, at no time
during the term shall there be less than one link from the CNNfn.com website to
the Industry Watch Product.

         (e)      YellowBrix shall be solely responsible for securing all rights
from and making any necessary payments to any YellowBrix third party for use and
distribution of its content by CNNfn.com as contemplated hereunder and
YellowBrix shall indemnify CNNfn.com against any failure to do so as set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement.

         (f)      YellowBrix will provide technical resources and support
necessary to ensure and maintain a streamlined linkage between the YellowBrix
server and the CNNfn.com web site as contemplated by this Agreement. If, at any
time, an electronic link established on the CNNfn.com web site to provide access
to the Industry Watch Product shall have been nonfunctional for a period of at
least two (2) hours on a continuous basis or intermittently over a six-hour
period, then, until the functionality is restored by YellowBrix, CNNfn.com may,
at its option, insert a blocking page with a



                                      -2-

message indicating that access to the Industry Watch Product has been
temporarily suspended due to technical difficulty. Should such failure continue
for a period of eight (8) hours, CNNfn.com may, at its option, remove the
graphical component of such connection until the functionality has been
restored. In either event, the connection shall be restored as soon as possible
following correction of the technical problems. Such remedy shall be in addition
to any other available remedies.

         (g)      YellowBrix will use its best efforts to ensure that the
Industry Watch Product is available and fully functioning and updating on a
twenty-four hour per day, seven day per week, three-hundred sixty-five day per
year basis during the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,

Watch Product, or a single failure to meet the Performance Standards at least

Product from time to time, provided, however, that these Changes do not
materially alter the look and feel or utility of the Industry Watch Product.

hypothecate (all hereinafter referred to as "assign" or "assignment") this
Agreement, or delegate any of the parties' obligations hereunder, voluntarily or
by operation of law (excluding a merger or sale of substantially all of its

and effect.

         (b)      Non-Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach or
default by the other party shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach
or default by such other party. Resort to any remedies referred to herein shall
not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which either
party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise, nor shall an election to
terminate be deemed an election of remedies or a waiver of any claim for damages
or otherwise.

         (c)      Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
all prior understandings, whether oral or written, have been merged herein and

writing signed by both parties hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
specifically agreed that no terms contained on any payment documentation
(regardless of origin) such as invoices, purchase orders, etc. shall in any way
effect the terms of this Agreement.
