                    AUDIO FILE PRODUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is entered into as of July 28, 1999 by and between
audiohighway.com, a California corporation ("AH"), and Audio Concepts a New York
general partnership ("AC").

         WHEREAS, AH hosts and operates a website currently located on the
Internet at (www.audiohighway.com) (the "AH Website"), through which AH encodes
certain third-party content for delivery over the Internet and distributes such
content to Internet users receiving Internet service from various Internet
service providers; and,

         WHEREAS, AH has entered into an agreement with Dow Jones that permits
AH to make available the "What's News-Business and Finance and World View," from
page A-1 of the print edition of the Wall Street Journal, on the AH website in a
streaming audio format; and,

         WHEREAS, AC has the capability to produce audio recordings from written
text and convert those recordings into specified digital formats; and,

         WHEREAS, AH is interested in retaining AC to perform such services in
connection with AH's agreement with Dow Jones;

         NOW THEREFORE the parties agree as follows:

1.       SERVICES

         AC will provide to AH the following Services:

         a.       TEXT FILES: Pursuant to the agreement between AH and Dow
Jones, every Monday through Friday Dow Jones will transmit text file versions of
the "What's News-Business and Finance and World View" from page A-1 of the print
edition of the Wall Street Journal (the "Text Files") to three electronic
mailbox addresses designated by AC.

         b.       TIMING: AC shall maintain a full production staff to retrieve
and download the Text Files between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time ("EST"). If the Text Files have not arrived in the electronic
mailboxes by 3:00 a.m. EST, through no fault of AC, AC shall retain its full
production staff for as long as is necessary to retrieve and download the text
files when they arrive. If AC is required to maintain its production staff
beyond 4:00 a.m. EST, AC shall be entitled to Overtime, as defined in Section
2.c. of this Agreement.

         c.       PRODUCTION: On each day that AC retrieves and downloads Text
Files (Monday through Friday) AC shall produce an audio recording of the Text
Files and shall convert such recording to a computer-ready digital format (the
"Audio Files"), specified by AH. Once conversion of an audio recording into an
Audio File is complete, AC shall transmit such Audio Files (by way of FTP,
electronic mail, or other method specified by AH) to a computer server specified
by AH (AH shall provide AC with verification, by way of a method to be specified
by

<PAGE>

AH, that the Audio Files were received intact and free of errors and / or
viruses and considered delivered by AC).

         d.       DELIVERY: AC shall transmit the Audio to a computer server
specified by AH by no later than 3:00 a.m. EST, or as soon thereafter as
practicable.

         e.       EQUIPMENT: AC shall provide all necessary equipment to
retrieve and download the Text Files, to produce the audio recordings of the
Text Files, to convert the audio recordings into Audio files, and to transmit
the Audio Files to the server designated by AH (AH shall provide AC with the
technical specifications necessary for AC to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, including without limitation the information required to transmit the
Audio Files to the server designated by AH).

2.       PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

is due and payable upon execution of this Agreement.

         b.       PRODUCTION: The weekly production fee shall be $8,000 per
month. This fee is to be paid on a monthly basis and is to be received by AC a
minimum of one week prior to the start of each production month.

         c.       OVERTIME: If AC is required to maintain its production staff
beyond 4:00 a.m. EST, solely due to arrival of Text Files later than 3:00 a. m.,
AC shall be entitled to Overtime. Overtime shall be $400 for each additional
hour beyond 4:00 a.m. EST required to complete the retrieval and download of the
Text Files. Such Overtime charges shall be invoiced by AC to AH on a monthly

         e.       Each Audio File AC creates as part of the Services provided
hereunder shall precisely and accurately represent the contents of the Text File
from which it was created. Specifically, AC warrants and represents that, in

terms.

7.       INDEMNIFICATION

         AC shall, at its own expense, defend, indemnify and hold AH and its
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, or causes of action (hereinafter "Claims") which result or are
claimed to result in whole or in part from any act or omission of AC or its
employees, agents or contractors, or which are based upon or make the contention
that any of the materials supplied by AC to AH or used by AH in the manner
recommended by AC, in whole or in part, constitute infringement of any
trademark, trade secret, statutory copyright, patent, common law right, title or
slogan, unless the infringing material was furnished to AC by AH, or which
result from the alleged or actual violation by AC of any applicable law, statute
or regulation, or which are based upon a failure of Services to conform to the
Warranties in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AC shall not be
liable for damage to third parties to the extent caused solely by the active and
