                              REALNETWORKS, INC.
                            LIVESTATIONS AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is made as of November 1, 1999 ("Effective Date")
between RealNetworks, Inc., a Washington corporation located at 2601 Elliott
Ave., Suite 1000, Seattle, Washington 98121 ("RN"), and Global Media Corporation
("Participant"), with an address as set forth on Exhibit A.

         This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which RN
agrees to promote and distribute links to Participant's RealMedia content
(RealAudio and other RN media types) described in Exhibit A ("Content") as part
of RN's LiveStations program. In consideration for the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.   DESCRIPTION OF LIVESTATIONS PROGRAM

1.1  LIVESTATIONS ON THE REALPLAYER.  Current versions of RN's RealPlayer G2
software include listings in a pull-down menu and/or buttons that link directly
to live or simulated live RealAudio content delivered via the Internet
("LiveStations"). End-users of the RealPlayer G2 can customize the LiveStations
in their individual RealPlayers through the LiveStations Guide Page, described
herein. In this Agreement, "RealPlayer," unless otherwise specified, means all
versions of RN's proprietary RealPlayer G2 software or subsequent versions that
RN may introduce and distribute during the Term, and includes both free and pay
versions. RN may, in its discretion, name, re-name, or change the branding or
trademarks associated with LiveStations, or any other aspect of the RealPlayer,
at any time without notice.

1.2  CONTENT DELIVERY CHANNELS.  The LiveStations program distributes links
to the Content and related descriptions and buttons (together, "pointers") to
Web sites and "push" applications delivering information to end users via the
publicly accessible Internet, proprietary online services, and other
specialized services (collectively, "Content Delivery Channels").

2.   RN OBLIGATIONS

2.1  INCLUSION ON LIVESTATIONS GUIDE PAGE.  RN will include Participant's
fifteen (15) LiveStations in the appropriate genres on RN's LiveStations
Guide Page (currently located at http://realguide.real.com/stations/) during
the Term.

2.2  DEFAULT LIVESTATION.  A version of the RealPlayer in the language set forth
in Exhibit A (the "English Language" RealPlayer) is distributed to end users
with certain pre-installed "default" LiveStations. RN agrees to include
Participant's fifteen (15) LiveStations as default LiveStations in the
appropriate genres in the English Language RealPlayers distributed by RN during
the Term, subject to the limitations herein. RN may include Participant's
LiveStations as a pre-installed default LiveStation in any or all RealPlayers
distributed during the Term, but is only obligated to do so in all standard,
non-custom English Language RealPlayers intended for distribution to North
American end users through electronic download directly from RN Web sites or
sold in non-bundled and non-customized versions through retail distribution.
Participant acknowledges that LiveStations may be customized by individual
end-users and that any LiveStation, including default LiveStations, may be
removed or repositioned by end-users. During the Term, and subject to the
limitations herein, Participant's LiveStation shall be included as a default so
long as RN maintains the LiveStations program.

2.3  DISTRIBUTION OF POINTERS.  RN may use and/or distribute the pointers to
Participant's Content, but is under no obligation to do so.

3.       PARTICIPANT OBLIGATIONS


1

<PAGE>

3.1  NATURE OF CONTENT.  Participant will provide Content for its fifteen (15)
LiveStations in compliance with RN's Technical Specifications. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Content must be: (i) newsworthy, informational, educational
or produced for entertainment purposes, and not merely promotional in nature;
(ii) streamed live or simulated live twenty-four hours per day, seven days per
week, throughout the Term; and (iii) encoded in the specified RealAudio or other
RN formats available during the Term. Content can be hosted by Participant or
hosted by RN pursuant to the terms of RN's standard Real Broadcast Network
Services Agreement, if Participant has signed such an agreement.

3.2  CONTENT QUALITY.  RN reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
terminate this Agreement under Section 9.2 below if the quality of the
Content does not meet RN's commercially reasonable standards concerning the
LiveStations program in any way. In the event of termination under this
Section 3.2, RN will offer Participant a pro-rata refund based on the
Participation Fee as set forth in Section 5.1 and the number of weeks left in
the Term.

3.3  DOWNLOAD REALPLAYER BUTTON.  Throughout the Term, Participant will
prominently display above the fold on the home page of Participant's World Wide
Web site located at the URL set forth in Exhibit A ("Participant's Site"), a
"Download Global Media Player" Button, or, at Participant's discretion, an
RN-approved standard "Download RealPlayer" button, in the form provided by RN,
the current form of which is shown on Exhibit B. Such button will link to the
download area of RN's Web page from which end users may download free and/or pay
(or "plus") versions of the RealPlayer in the English Language version. As used
in this Section 3.3 and in Section 3.4, "above the fold" means placement on a
Web page in a manner such that an end user viewing the page in a browser window
of 640x480 pixels can view the entire button without scrolling.

3.4  REALGUIDE BUTTON.  During the Term of this Agreement, Participant will
display on Participant's Site, an RN-approved standard "RealGuide" button
that will directly link to RN's RealGuide. The current version of such button
is shown in Exhibit B.

3.5  QUALITY OF SERVICE.  Participant's fifteen (15) LiveStations shall
conform to the Technical Specifications set forth in Exhibit C. At a minimum,
Participant agrees to insure that at least 400 concurrent user connections
are available to end users through Participant's LiveStation regardless
whether Participant, RN, or a third party selected by Participant serves the
Content.

3.6  USE OF REALMEDIA FORMATS AND LIVESTATIONS LINKS ON PARTICIPANT'S WEB SITE.
Participant agrees that any content made available in streaming media formats on
Participant's Site during the Term will be made available in RealMedia formats
(e.g., RealAudio, RealVideo, or other RN proprietary media formats). Participant
will not promote any other streaming media format on Participant's Site more
prominently than the RealMedia formats. Participant shall link to its Fifteen
(15) LiveStations from a relevant, prominent location on Participant's Site. If
Participant chooses to provide links from its fifteen (15) LiveStations to
Participant's Site, such links must be to a Web page containing only RealMedia
formatted content, if Participant includes streaming media content on that Web
page.

3.7  EXCLUSIVITY.  Participant will not promote any competing streaming media
player on Participant's Sites more prominently than the RealPlayer. If
Participant chooses to provide links from its fifteen (15) LiveStations to
Participant's Site, or to any Web site, such link must be to a Web page that
does not provide the opportunity to download any software media player other
than the RealPlayer.

3.8  MAINTENANCE OF CONTENT.  As between RN and Participant, and except as
expressly provided herein, Participant is solely responsible and liable for
the Content, and RN assumes no responsibility for editing, reviewing,
controlling or any other activities associated with distributing any of the
Content and shall not be liable to any third party in connection with such
activities, unless RN undertakes such responsibilities. Participant shall be
solely responsible for all costs and activities associated with the creation,
maintenance, licensing, use and correction of the Content.

<PAGE>

3.9  NO HIRE.  During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2)
years after termination of this Agreement, Participant agrees not to hire, as
an employee, contractor or consultant, or to appoint to its board of
directors, any then-current RN employee or any former employee who has left
RN within the then-preceding twelve (12) months or who is otherwise
prohibited by the terms of an non-competition agreement from working for a
competitor of RN, in which case Participant shall not hire such former
employee until the expiration of said 12 month period or the term of his or
her non-compete, whichever is later. A breach of this Section by Participant
shall give RN the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 9.2
below.

4.   LICENSE

4.1  CONTENT LICENSE.  Participant hereby grants RN a non-transferable,
worldwide, royalty-free license to: (i) link to the Content through the
English Language RealPlayer; and (ii) use, transmit, distribute, and
redistribute Content pointers and other Participant links and descriptions of
Content or Participant's LiveStation(s) to Content Delivery Channels in order
to make Participant's Content accessible to Content Delivery Channels'
end-users. RN shall have the right to include links to Participant's Content
from all versions of RN's RealGuide, including syndicated versions, however
named or distributed.

4.2  TRADEMARK LICENSE.  Participant grants RN a non-exclusive, nontransferable,
worldwide, royalty-free license to use Participant's trademarks and logos in
connection with this Agreement, in the style and manner currently used by
Participant and as communicated to RN. Subject to such style and manner
restrictions, RN may use Participant's name, trademarks, logo, and LiveStation
graphics in RN's marketing and advertising materials. Except as expressly
provided herein, RN shall not be deemed by anything contained in this Agreement
to acquire any right, title or interest in any trademark of Participant, and
shall do nothing to prejudice the value or validity of Participant's rights
therein or ownership thereof.

5.   PAYMENTS

5.1  PAYMENT TO RN.  Participant shall pay to RN a participation fee (the
     "Participation Fee") of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000)
     for participation throughout the initial Term as fifteen (15) default

     Exhibit A. The Participation Fee shall be due in full upon execution of
     this Agreement and is nonrefundable. The Participation Fee shall be

5.3  NO WITHHOLDING.  All payments by Participant to RN pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made without any withholding or deduction of any
withholding tax or other tax or mandatory payment to government agencies. If
Participant is legally required to make any such withholding or deduction
from any payment to RN under this


3

<PAGE>

Agreement, the sum payable by Participant upon which such withholding or
deduction is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that,
after such withholding or deduction, RN receives and retains, fee from liability
for such withholding or deduction, a net amount equal to the amount RN would
have received and retained in the absence of such required withholding or
deduction.

5.4  PROVIDE RECEIPTS.  In order to assist RN in obtaining tax credits or
deductions, Participant shall provide to RN, in a form acceptable to RN,
original or certified copies of all tax payment receipts or other evidence of
payment of taxes by Participant with respect to transactions or payments
under this Agreement.

6.   ADVERTISING

6.1  INTRA-STREAM ADS.  Participant shall retain one hundred percent (100%)
of the revenue from its sale of audio, video, multimedia, banner, or other
advertising embedded in the Content by Participant ("Intra-Stream Ads").
Participant shall at all times clearly differentiate advertising from Content.

6.2  OTHER ADS.  Participant agrees that RN may insert pointers to RN's own
media-based advertisements prior to pointers to the Content clips that RN
distributes to Content Delivery Channels. RN shall at all times clearly
differentiate advertising from Content. RN will retain one hundred percent

such advertisements will not be for companies or persons competitive in the
internet radio business.

7.   PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

7.1  OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT.  As between RN and Participant, Participant
remains the owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Content and
any Content Headlines, and all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual

Participant fails to provide a headline for Content as specified in the
Technical Specifications.

shall not acquire any right or interest in any trademark or trade name owned or
used by RN, and that under no circumstances will it use, register or attempt to
register any trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name or similar indicia
containing the word "Real" or any other mark or domain name used by or
confusingly similar to a mark used by RN, regardless of spelling or translation
thereof.
