                   SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT


                      AGREEMENT dated as of April 19, 2000, between TOON BOOM
           TECHNOLOGIES INC., a corporation formed under the laws of Canada (the
           "Licensor"), and STAN LEE MEDIA, INC., a Colorado corporation (the
           "Licensee").

         Licensor is a software development company dedicated to providing
state-of-the-art, high performance tools to the cartoon animation industry.
Licensor's products historically have been positioned at the high-end segment of
the market, and are commonly known as "TicTacToon" and "USAnimation." Licensor
intends to expand its product line by adding two versions of a product dedicated
to the creation of cartoons on the World Wide Web, commonly known as "WEBtoon
products," one dedicated to the prosumer market and one with a subset of the
functionalities of the prosumer product and dedicated to the consumer market,
thereby enabling Licensor to broaden its user demographics to include the
prosumer and consumer mass market in addition to its high-end professional base.

         Licensee is an Internet-based, multimedia company founded by comic book
icon Stan Lee to produce exciting original branded characters and content for
exploitation in all media. Licensee wishes to create and develop in conjunction
with Licensor user interfaces for the WEBtoon products to enhance such products
acceptance by the prosumer and consumer mass markets.

         Licensor desires to grant to Licensee a non-exclusive license to market
and sell, or sublicense the consumer version of the WEBtoon products bundled
with value added original content of Licensee worldwide, and the Licensee
desires to accept such appointment, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

         Accordingly, Licensor and Licensee hereby agree as follows:

I. PRODUCTS

           The WEBtoon products will consist of: (i) a new product aimed at the
prosumer market (including in particular low end creators of Web sites) which is
in the development stage and the initial description of which is contained in
Schedule 1, and (ii) a consumer mass market product consisting of a subset of
the prosumer product with more limited functionalities and the initial
description of which is contained in Schedule 1 and both offering animation
templates such as pre-sets and libraries of already made sequences of characters
which are in the development stage. The consumer mass market product hereinafter
shall be referred to as the "Consumer Product" and the prosumer product
hereinafter shall be referred to as the "Prosumer Product" and both the Consumer
Product and the Prosumer Product, with contributions by Licensee as contemplated
in Sections 3.02 and 4.01(a), shall be known as the "WEBtoon System," all
intellectual property and trade secret rights in which shall be owned by
Licensor from their creation (except for such Licensee content as described in
Article V hereof). All intellectual property and trade secret rights in
modifications, changes, enhancements, conversions, upgrades, or additions made
to the WEBtoon System, whether made by Licensor, Licensee, or a third party,
shall be the property of Licensor (except for such Licensee content as described
in Article V hereof), shall be considered a part of the WEBtoon System, and the
Licensee shall receive a license to the Consumer Product in accordance with
Article III of this Agreement. Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any
portion of the source code of the WEBtoon system, except as otherwise provided
for in the Software Escrow Agreement attached as Schedule 3.04 hereto. Licensee
hereby undertakes not to decompile or reverse engineer the WEBtoon system or
otherwise attempt to recreate its source code or gain access to it. Both parties
acknowledge that the expression "Webtoon" as used in this Agreement, is used
only for reference purposes and the actual products name will not contain the
expression Webtoon which is not available for use by the parties.

II. LICENSED TERRITORY

         Except where otherwise explicitly noted, the licenses granted by this
Agreement are worldwide (collectively, the "Licensed Territory").

III. DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE TO LICENSEE

           SECTION 3.01. WEBtoon System Development. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Licensor agrees to develop the WEBtoon System,
starting first with the Prosumer Product and continuing with the Consumer
Product at no cost to Licensee other than as expressly set forth herein.

           SECTION 3.02. Software Development and Implementation. Licensor and
Licensee agree to consult each other without any charge to the other party
regarding the specifications which are the features, the functionalities and the
user interfaces of the Prosumer Product and of the Consumer Product. However,
the final decision, including on which functionalities of the Prosumer Product
shall be retained in the Consumer Product shall remain with Licensor. Licensee
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Licensee disagrees with the
specifications finally retained by Licensor for any of the Prosumer Product or
Consumer Product by written notice given to Licensee and taking effect at least
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by Licensor unless in the meantime
the parties shall have agreed in writing on the original or revised
specifications. Licensor will install a prototype of both the Prosumer Product
and the Consumer Product in its offices or another location, provided that the
prototypes are accessible by Licensee. Licensor will present a prototype review
of the Prosumer Product to Licensee, which the parties agree shall occur by
August 1, 2000. At the time of prototype review, Licensee will communicate any
suggested changes, modifications and enhancements to Licensor. Licensor will
make its best efforts in order to incorporate changes resulting from prototype
review and accepted by Licensor and install and implement the completed Prosumer
Product, according to the proposed specifications, in final form as promptly as
practicable in the circumstances following completion of the prototype review.
Immediately thereafter, Licensor and Licensee will conduct beta testing of the
Prosumer Product in accordance with the terms of the Beta Testing Agreement, a
copy of which is annexed hereto as Schedule 3.02, until the completion of a
release version. Immediately after completion of the final prototype version of
the Prosumer Product, Licensor will present a prototype review of the Consumer
Product to Licensee, which the parties agree is targeted to occur during the
third quarter of the year 2000 and the above process shall be repeated with the
Consumer Product. Licensee agrees to make available to Licensor, at no cost to
it, for purposes of beta testing the Prosumer Product and the Consumer Product
substantially the same persons having tested Licensee's website,
www.stanlee.net.

           SECTION 3.03. License Grant from Licensor to Licensee. In

or to license the Consumer Product but only bundled with significant original
Licensee value added content such as its new fourteen Super Heroes and Super
Villains as Licensee shall so desire, for an initial term of five (5) years from
the date of first commercial release of the Consumer Product by Licensor or
Licensee whichever occurs first, such initial term being renewable with the
consent of both parties and according to terms and conditions to be agreed upon
by the parties, which Licensee License the Licensee hereby accepts. The Licensee
License also shall include any enhancements to the Consumer Product provided by
Licensor pursuant to any other agreement during the term of the Licensee
License. The Licensee License shall not include reproduction or modification
rights. All reproductions of the Consumer Product shall be performed by Licensor
either electronically by download by the end-user from a site controlled by

controlled by Licensee in a mode transparent to the end-user) or physically in
case physical products are needed subject, in this latter case, to agreement
between the parties on the reproduction, packaging and shipping costs as
contemplated in Section 6.03(a) hereof.

           SECTION 3.04. Escrow of WEBtoon System Software. Concurrently with

           SECTION 6.03. Royalty Payments by Licensee.

           (a) Consumer Product Sales. In consideration of the Licensee License,
Licensee shall pay Licensor a royalty related solely to the revenues generated
from the sale or license of the Consumer Product bundled with the Licensee
content, in an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of Licensee's net revenues
of the sale or license of the Consumer Product and of such Licensee content
after the recoupment by Licensee of all of its costs, and the allocation of an
off-the-top service/distribution fee of twenty percent (20%) of gross revenue.
When a sale or license is granted by Licensee to one of its Affiliates for
resale, re-licensing or sub-licensing, Licensee's net revenues shall be
calculated by taking the Affiliates' net revenues and not including the net
revenues earned by Licensee from such sale or license to its Affiliates. The
minimum royalty payable to Licensor on the sales or licenses of the Consumer
Product bundled with Licensee content packages shall be not less than Eight U.S.
Dollars (US$8.00) per unit; provided, however, that if the Eight U.S. Dollars
(US$8.00) per unit is not financially practicable due to marketplace factors,
Licensor and Licensee agree to negotiate in good faith an alternative mutually
acceptable royalty structure. Further, if any physical product needs to be
reproduced by Licensor, in case the Consumer Product is not downloaded from the
Licensor's site, the amount of Eight U.S. Dollars (US$8.00) shall be increased
to take into account the costs of reproduction, packaging and shipping of the
physical products including documentation. If such Consumer Product bundled with
Licensee content is bundled by an OEM, then (i) each such OEM shall be subject
to approval by Licensor; (ii) if the per unit royalty payable to Licensor in
such case is below Eight U.S. Dollars (US$8.00), the Consumer Product shall be
modified by Licensor for such purposes to only allow use of "skins" of Licensee
and of Licensee's animation templates but not of those of others and (iii)
Licensee and Licensor shall share equally all license fees, royalties,
commissions, or other payments made by such OEM (in this section, the "OEM
Payments").

           Licensee shall within thirty (30) days of the beginning of each
quarter of each calendar year, submit to Licensor a report indicating the number
of the Consumer Products sold or otherwise licensed by Licensee and the OEM
Payments received during the preceding quarter during the term of the Licensee
License, the amounts necessary to calculate the royalty and the OEM Payments and
the total amount due to Licensor as payment of the royalty and share of the OEM
Payments. Licensee shall at the same time as submitting the report remit to
Licensor any amount of royalty and OEM Payments due and payable, in US Currency.
Furthermore, Licensee shall remit to Licensor the sum due and payable under this
Section within thirty (30) days after the termination date of the Licensee
License accompanied with a report showing the above details.

           Any amount due but unpaid by Licensee to Licensor shall bear interest
at a rate equal to the yearly rate of interest which Royal Bank of Canada
announces publicly from time to time in Canada as its prime and lending rate
which is its reference rate for determining rates of interest applicable to
loans made by it in Canada in Canadian dollars, plus two percent (2%); such
interest shall be calculated from the date the report is due until the date the
full amount of the amount due is paid to Licensor.

           Licensee shall keep true and accurate records and books of account
containing all data reasonably required for the computing of and verification of
the royalty to be paid in accordance with this Section during the term of the
Licensee License and for a period of one (1) year thereafter. Licensee will at
all reasonable times during the term of the Licensee License and for a period of
one (1) year thereafter, but not more frequently than once in any twelve month
period, upon Licensor's request, produce the records and books for periodic
inspection by Licensor. Should the reported royalty differ from that actually
paid by Licensee then Licensor will immediately notify Licensee of the
difference and request clarification of same.

           The cost of any inspection referred to above shall be borne by
Licensor unless the royalty provided to Licensor was understated by more than
five percent (5%), in which case the cost of the inspection shall be paid by
Licensee.

           In the event that the said inspection reveals any underpayment of
royalty due to Licensor, Licensee will promptly pay Licensor the full amount of
that underpayment together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the yearly
rate of interest which Royal Bank of Canada announces publicly from time to time
in Canada as its prime and

<PAGE>   7
lending rate which is its reference rate for determining rates of interest
applicable to loans made by it in Canada in Canadian dollars, plus two percent
(2%); such interest shall be calculated from the date the report is due until
the date the full amount of that underpayment of royalty is paid to Licensor.

           SECTION 6.04 Royalty Payments by Licensor.

           (a) Consumer Product Sales. In consideration of the Licensor General
License, Licensor shall pay Licensee a royalty related solely to the revenues
generated from the sale or license of the Consumer Product bundled with the

revenues of the sale or license of the Consumer Product and of such Licensee
content after the recoupment by Licensor of all of its costs, and the allocation
of an off-the-top service/distribution fee of twenty percent (20%) of gross
revenue. When a sale or license is granted by Licensor to one of its Affiliates
for resale, re-licensing or sub-licensing, Licensor's net revenues shall be
calculated by taking the Affiliates' net revenues and not including the net
revenues earned by Licensor from such sale or license to its Affiliates. The
minimum royalty payable to Licensee on the sales or licenses of the Consumer
product bundled with Licensee content packages shall be not less than Eight U.S.
Dollars (US$8.00) per unit; provided, however, that if the Eight U.S. Dollars
(US$8.00) per unit is not financially practicable due to marketplace factors,
Licensor and Licensee agree to negotiate in good faith an alternative mutually
acceptable royalty structure. If such Consumer Product bundled with Licensee
content is bundled by an OEM, then (i) each such OEM shall be subject to
approval by Licensee; (ii) if the per unit royalty payable to Licensee in such
case is below Eight U.S. Dollars (US$8.00), the Consumer Product shall be
modified by Licensor for such purposes to only allow use of "skins" of Licensee
and of Licensee's animation templates but not of those of others and (iii)
Licensor and Licensee shall share equally all license fees, royalties,
commissions or other payments made by such OEM (in this section, the "OEM
Payments").

           Licensor shall within thirty (30) days of the beginning of each
quarter of each calendar year, submit to Licensee a report indicating the number
of the Consumer Products bundled with Licensee content sold or otherwise
licensed by Licensor and the OEM Payments received during the preceding quarter
during the term of the Licensor General License, the amounts necessary to
calculate the royalty and the OEM Payments and the total amount due to Licensee
as payment of the royalty and share of the OEM Payments. Licensor shall at the
same time as submitting the report remit to Licensee any amount of royalty and
OEM Payments due and payable, in US Currency. Furthermore, Licensor shall remit
to Licensee the sum due and payable under this Section within thirty (30) days
after the termination date of the Licensor General License accompanied with a
report showing the above details.

           Any amount due but unpaid by Licensor to Licensee shall bear interest
at a rate equal to the yearly rate of interest which Royal Bank of Canada
announces publicly from time to time in Canada as its prime and lending rate
which is its reference rate for determining rates of interest applicable to
loans made by it in Canada in Canadian dollars, plus two percent (2%); such
interest shall be calculated from the date the report is due until the date the
full amount of the amount due is paid to Licensee.

           Licensor shall keep true and accurate records and books of account
containing all data reasonably required for the computing of and verification of
the royalty to be paid in accordance with this Section during the term of the
Licensor General License and for a period of one (1) year thereafter. Licensor
will at all reasonable times during the term of the Licensor General License and
for a period of one (1) year thereafter, but not more frequently than once in
any twelve month period, upon Licensee's request, produce the records and books
for periodic inspection by Licensee. Should the reported royalty differ from
