              I(3)S commences providing services on or after the date of
              Global's acceptance of such offer. If I(3)S offers an equity
              investment opportunity to a Competitor in connection with an
              agreement to provide HSDS to such Competitor, I(3)S shall offer

      technically feasible, Global shall notify I(3)S of such party's objections
      thereto in writing within five (5) business days of receiving the plans

8.2   MODIFICATION OF REVENUE SHARING FEES. Twelve (12) months after the date of
      execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to renegotiate the Revenue
      Sharing Fees in good faith in accordance with current market standards,
      such that the Revenue Sharing Fees shall be increased or decreased if
      either party is economically disadvantaged hereunder, or receiving an
      inordinate proportion of the revenue associated with HSDS in relation to
      its investment or contribution to the relationship established hereby or
      to revenue sharing generally offered by other comparable providers of HSDS
      under substantially similar terms and conditions to this Agreement.

8.3   CUSTOMER ACCESS PRICING; MARKET PLANS. With the intent to increase HSDS
      penetration at each Property served under this Agreement, upon
      consultation with Global, I(3)S shall establish the price at which access
      to the HSDS is made available to customers and end-users, provided the
      HSDS shall be competitively priced in the marketplace such that all
      pricing is equal to or less than that charged by comparable providers of
      similar services in the same metropolitan area, excluding promotions or
      offers tailored to single or groups of MDU properties. On a case-by-case

      to the extent any Right-of-Entry provides for a revenue share to the
      Property owner which includes HSDS services or installation fees, I(3)S
      shall include a line-item in subscriber bills in an amount mutually agreed
      upon by the parties, not to exceed four dollars ($4) per customer per
      month, and shall remit such amount in full to Global, who shall in turn
      remit such amount in full to the Property owner. With respect to all
      marketing plans pertaining to HSDS, Global and I(3)S shall mutually
      establish marketing plans. I(3)S shall, at its sole cost, provide an
      on-line kiosk at each Property during the first three (3) months of
      provision of service. I(3)S shall, at its sole cost, provide
      demonstrations and/or promotions for HSDS at each property at least twice
      per calendar year.

8.4   BRANDING. With respect to HSDS, and the promotion thereof, I(3)S shall
      establish the brand names, logos, labels, trademarks, service marks and
      other such identifying promotional characteristics pertaining to the same
      throughout the term of this Agreement. Global and I(3)S shall co-brand
      certain HSDS, including the "Broadband Now!" brand; provided, the parties
      shall equally share the cost of all marketing for co-branded services at
      the properties served.

8.5   SERVICE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I(3)S hereby agrees to serve any
      properties offered by Global which meet the following standards: (i) the
      property must be rated at least a Class "A", or "B" property by virtue of
      the fact that the monthly rents associated therewith are in excess of
      $1.25 per square foot of rentable space OR the average income of the
      property must be at least $40,000 per annum, as determined by [official
      source of information to be provided by Global], (ii) the property must
      have at least one hundred fifty (150) units, (iii) the remaining term of
      the Right-Of-Entry as of the date on which I(3)S is scheduled to commence
      providing services is at least sixty (60) months, (iv) Global has deployed
      any of its services at such property, (v) at least fifty percent (50%) of
      the residents of such property possess a personal computer in their
      apartment (which shall be determined by a survey of the property at I(3)S'
      sole cost and expense), and (vi) the property can be physically connected
      to the I(3)S nationwide network. If Global desires for compelling business
      reasons that I(3)S shall provide HSDS at any property not meeting the
      standards in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in
      good faith for such provision. I(3)S shall commence HSDS at a Property
      within forty-five (45) days after acceptance thereof, as indicated by its
      addition thereto on Exhibit A. If I(3)S declines to serve any property not
      meeting the aforementioned standards, it shall notify Global of its
      decision in writing.

8.6   Upon ninety (90) days written notice to I(3)S, Global shall have the right
      to assume the customer care and billing obligations of I(3)S hereunder.
      Prior to Global assuming such responsibilities, the parties agree to
      promptly meet and negotiate in good faith to increase Global's revenue
      share to cover the costs relating to such services and an increased rate
      of return.


                                                                              10

      records of I(3)S relating to the HSDS provided hereunder upon three (3)
      business days' notice. In the event during such audit Global discovers a
      discrepancy of the funds I(3)S was to pay to Global in an amount equal to
      or greater than five percent (5%) of such funds, I(3)S shall bear the cost
      of such audit, including the fees of the auditor as well as reasonable
      lodging, food and travel expenses for the auditor. This audit shall occur
      during normal business hours at the place where such records are normally
      kept.

      other party) of its Confidential Information.

11.3  AUTHORIZED DISCLOSURES. Notwithstanding the obligations described in
      Section 9.2 above, neither party shall have any obligation to maintain the

      of such dispute or controversy may be commenced until either or both of
      the designated officers conclude in good faith that an amicable resolution
      through continued negotiation of the matter at issue is not likely to
      occur.

14.11 ARBITRATION. Except where otherwise expressly provided, the parties hereby
      agree to submit to arbitration any and all disputes, controversies,
      differences, or claims which may arise between them in relation to or out
      of this Agreement, or the breach thereof, if the parties fail to reach an
      amicable settlement or earlier resolution by mutual agreement. Any
      controversy or claim relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to
      final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Rules of the American
      Arbitration Association then in effect, by three arbitrators knowledgeable
      of said rules and as to industry standards, sitting in a location in
      Dallas County, State of Texas, designated by the filing party. Each party
      will appoint one arbitrator within ten (10) days of the filing of the
      arbitration claim and the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator
      within thirty (30) days. None of the arbitrators shall be related to or
      have any direct or indirect interest in I3S or Global. The arbitrators
      will be instructed to consider, in making any determination, the customary
      practices in the industry to the extent such practices exist. The
      arbitration proceeding shall commence within thirty (30) days of the
      selection of the arbitrators. Discovery shall be limited so as to allow
      the taking of a maximum of five (5) depositions by each party. The
      arbitrators shall be authorized to provide for interim and final
      injunctive relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that such
      arbitration shall be the sole forum for such interim and final injunctive
      relief and the parties agree to accept and abide by such injunctive
      relief. The arbitrators shall have the right but not the obligation to
      award to the prevailing party the cost of resolving any dispute regarding
      this Agreement or the formation, breach, enforcement or performance
      hereof, including any reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and expert
      witnesses incurred by the prevailing party. Punitive damages shall not be
      recoverable in any arbitration initiated pursuant to this Agreement.
      Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any
      court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary contained herein, if, at any time an initiating party can show
      that it would suffer irreparable harm by following the above procedures
      solely because of the time that it would take to engage the arbitrators
      and the non-filing party will not agree to immediately appoint the
      arbitrators and that money damages would not be adequate to compensate it
      for the harm so suffered, the initiating party may apply to any court of
      competent jurisdiction for an order or judgment granting that party a
      provisional remedy, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining
      order, a preliminary injunction or an attachment.

14.12 BINDING NATURE; ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement will be binding on the
      parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns. Upon prior
      written notice to the other party, either party may assign its rights and
      delegate its duties under this Agreement; provided however, that the
      assignee party must unconditionally


                                                                              16

      this Agreement, under no circumstances will either party be deemed to be
      in any relationship with the other party carrying with it fiduciary or
      trust responsibilities. The parties do not intend for this Agreement or
      the relationship established thereby to be considered the formation of a
      joint venture or partnership between the parties for any purpose. I(3)S
      has the sole right to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure,
      perform or cause to be performed the day-to-day work to be performed by
      I(3)S under this Agreement unless otherwise expressly provided herein or
