          failure to comply with any other obligation of Customer under this

          business days of Customer's receipt of written notice of such breach
          (iii) Customer's failure to comply with any of the terms of the Use
          Policy which breach is not cured by Customer within two (2) business
          days of Customer's receipt of written notice of such breach, (iv)
          Customer ceasing to do business in the normal course, becoming or
          being declared insolvent or bankrupt, being the subject of any

          source code from the Services or Products.

     6.2  Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate this Agreement with
          respect to all, and not less than all of the Services and Products in

          in the first sixty (60) days of the initial term hereof (collectively,
          a "Permissible Termination"). In the event of a Permissible
          Termination, Customer shall pay (i) installation Charges, (ii) a
          pro-rated Charge based on the number of days Company provided Services
          and Products prior to the date of termination of this Agreement by
          Customer under this Section 6.2, and (iii) if the Services and
          Products include software for which Company does not then provide
          general customer support, Customer shall pay to Company an amount
          equal to Company's cost of such software for the entire term. If
          Customer terminates this Agreement other than in a Permissible
          Termination, Customer shall pay to Company an amount equal to all
          unpaid Charges for the remainder of the then current term of this
          Agreement.

          Company, (ii) remove from Company's premises all property owned by
          Customer and (iii) return to Company all software, access keys and any
          other property provided to Customer by Company under this Agreement.

          after such termination shall become the property of Company, which
          may, among other things, dispose of such property without the payment
          of any compensation to Customer. The rights and obligations of both
          parties, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination
          of this Agreement (including, without limitation, those relating to

     or similar rights with respect therefore belong exclusively to Company,
     whether or not they are embedded in any Service or Product. Notwithstanding

     in this Agreement.

                including, but not limited to, obtaining a protective order or
                similar order narrowing the scope of such disclosure of the
                Confidential Information. In the event such protection is not
                obtained, the recipient shall disclose the Confidential

        12.3    Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that violation of the
                provisions of Sections 12.1 or 12.2, above, could cause
                irreparable harm to the disclosing party not adequately
                compensable by monetary damages. In addition to other relief, it
                is agreed that injunctive relief shall be available to the
                disclosing party in the event of such violations without
                necessity of posting bond to prevent any actual or threatened
                violations of such sections.

                        the installation meets all of the criteria detailed

-    ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY: Guidelines for services and products for Web
     Hosting and Internet Connectivity.

-    ADDRESS/IP SPOOFING: Inserting forged routing information into network
     packet(s) such that the origin of the packet is misreported, which causes
     return packets to be misrouted.

-    BINARY FILES: A file containing bits or bytes that do not necessarily
     represent printable text. The term binary file usually denotes any file
     that is not a text file, such as executable machine language code. Special
     software is required to print a binary file or view it on the screen.

-    BULK E-MAIL: Any group of messages sent via E-mail, with substantially
     identical content, to a large number of addresses at once. Many ISPs
     specify a threshold for bulk E-mail (e.g., 25 or more recipients within a
     24-hour period). Taken by itself, bulk E-mail is not necessarily abuse of
     the electronic mail system. For example, there are legitimate mailing
     lists, some with hundreds or thousands of willing recipients.

-    COMMERCIAL E-MAIL: Any E-mail message sent for the purposes of distributing
     information about a for-profit institution, soliciting purchase of products
     or services, or soliciting any transfer of funds. It also includes
     commercial activities by not-for-profit institutions.

-    CRACKS: Distribution of registration codes for software in violation of the
     software license, or distribution of any software intended to defeat copy
     protection.

-    DECEPTIVE ON-LINE MARKETING PRACTICES: Marketing practices that present a
     false image of the advertised product (or of the advertiser). One example
     of a deceptive on-line marketing practice would be an E-mail that purports
     to originate from the recipient's ISP or from a well-known company. Other
     examples include fraud, multi-level marketing, or any commercial or
     non-commercial activity that is conducted for the purpose of confusing,
     misleading or misinforming the E-mail and/or Internet users.

-    ELECTRONIC MAIL (E-MAIL) SPAM: Unsolicited E-mail from which a recipient
     cannot unsubscribe, or unsolicited E-mail to a recipient who does not have
     a previous business or other relationship with the sender.

-    FORGED ROUTING INFORMATION: Routing information which is misleading or
     incorrect or which would tend to disguise the origin of the routed
     material. Usually refers to information that is not generated by any
     routing device (such as a mail server), but is inserted by a party using
     software which is designed to produce false routing information (headers in
     the case of E-mail).

-    FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A standard way of transferring files from one
     computer to another on the Internet and on other TCP/IP networks. FTP is
     also the name of any of various computer programs that implement the file
     transfer protocol. Customers can also retrieve files by FTP using a web
     browser.

-    MMF: Make Money Fast Schemes: Messages that "guarantee immediate,
     incredible profits!," including such schemes as chain letters.

-    MAILBOMB: Delivery of enough E-mail to an electronic mailbox to overload
     the mailbox or potentially overload the system that the mailbox is hosted
     on.

-    NEWSGROUP SPAMS: A public forum or discussion area on a computer network.
     All users of the network can post messages, and every user can read all
     messages distributed worldwide by the Usenet system, covering thousands of
     topics.

-    PACKET SPOOFING: Emitting a network packet with a source address you do not
     have permission from the owner

                                      -4-

     to use.

o    PING FLOOD: Intentionally flooding a system's pipeline with ICMP
     EchoRequests. This can reduce the bandwidth available for legitimate use
     and, if severe enough, can bring a pipe down.

o    PIRATED: Any copywritten material, commercial or noncommercial, that is
     used, transmitted and/or stored without authorization.

o    PYRAMID SCHEMES. A get-rich scheme in which you receive a message
     containing a list of names. Recipients are expected to send money to the
     first person on the list, cross the first name off, add their name at the
     bottom and distribute copies of the message.

o    SMURF/FRAGGLE: http://users.quadrunner.com/chuegen/smurf.txt
         The "smurf" attack, named after its exploit program, is one of the
     most recent types of network-level attacks against hosts. A perpetrator
     sends a large amount of ICMP echo (ping) traffic at IP broadcast
     addresses, all of which have a spoofed source address of a victim. If the
     routing device delivering traffic to those broadcast addresses performs
     the IP broadcast to layer-2 broadcast function, most hosts on that IP
     network will take the ICMP echo request and reply to it with an echo reply
     each, multiplying the traffic by the number of hosts responding. On a
     multi-access broadcast network, there could potentially be hundreds of
     machines to reply to each packet.

          The "smurf" attack's cousin is called "fraggle," which uses UDP echo
     packets in the same fashion as the ICMP echo packets. A "fraggle" is a
     simple re-write of "smurf."

o    SYSTEM KERNEL: The central part of an operating system. In most operating
     systems, only the kernel can access hardware directly. (Also spelled
     "kernal.")

o    UNSOLICITED E-MAIL: Unsolicited E-mail is any E-mail message received
     where the recipient did not specifically ask to receive it. Taken by
     itself, unsolicited E-mail does not constitute abuse, and not all
     unsolicited E-mail is undesired E-mail. For example, receiving
     "unsolicited" E-mail from a long-lost friend or relative is certainly not
     abuse.

     o    Unsolicited Bulk E-Mail (UBE): E-mail with substantially identical
          content sent to many recipients who did not ask to receive it.

     o    Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE): E-mail containing commercial
          information that has been sent to a recipient who did not ask to
          receive it.

o    WORMS: An automated computer program that probes, breaks into, interferes
     with or disrupts service for one or more computers, networks or services.
     Similar to a virus, Trojan horse or other disabled device.

                     ANNEX A - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                           TO AEC ONE STOP GROUP, INC.

                     DATABASE, ON-LINE INTERNET RETAIL STORE
               AND CONSUMER DIRECT FULFILLMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  STORE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION.

1.1 Store Development:

1.1.1 AEC will, at its sole expense, design, create and develop the Store on
behalf of, and in cooperation with, Company, pursuant to the specifications set
forth in Exhibit 2 attached hereto.

1.1.2 AEC shall provide software repairs to the Store for the development effort
completed by AEC and as defined in said Exhibit 2. It is understood by both
parties that on-going enhancements of the Store shall be regularly required to
keep the Store compelling and competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, Company
and AEC agree that a transition period is required after AEC completes its
initial service role in the development of the Store and to shift the on-going
development effort required on the Store to the Company for its control and
continued improvement.

1.1.3 AEC shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to make available
to Company the required information to facilitate the Transition (as defined
below) in a manner that minimizes interruptions to each party. AEC shall deliver
to Company the latest version of the source code for the Store as and when it is
updated, but in any event no less frequently than twice per month. Upon
Company's request, but in no event later than upon the commencement of the
Transition, AEC shall deliver to Company complete documentation for the source
code.

1.1.4 Company shall cooperate with AEC to develop the technical linkages between
the Store, UBL.COM and the AMG Database. AEC will not intentionally design or
develop the Store in a manner that would prevent Company from adapting the Store
to accommodate the inventory availability databases used by other fulfillment
providers if AEC is no longer fulfilling Product for the Store.

1.2 Store Hosting:

1.2.1 Prior to the Transition, AEC shall host and maintain the Store. In this
regard, Company shall provide AEC with one or more servers (which shall remain
the property of Company and be returned to Company as part of the Transition) to
be used for workload balancing and redundancy for the Store. AEC shall use its
current, recently upgraded T1 line to support the Store.

                                Annex A - Page 1
<PAGE>   4

1.2.2   [***].

1.3 Store Transition:

1.3.1 The parties agree that a transition of the hosting and maintenance of the
Store from AEC to Company (the "Transition") shall be made on or about February
28, 1999 (or such alternative time as the parties hereto may mutually agree).

1.3.2 AEC shall provide technical support for the Store, including timely
maintenance and repair on any of the development completed on the Store features
developed by AEC, for three (3) months following the Transition. In the event
Company continues to require AEC technical support for the Store after such
three (3) month period, Company and AEC shall negotiate a reasonable monthly fee
payable by Company to AEC for such support services.

1.3.3 Company agrees to reimburse AEC for all reasonable ISP costs incurred by
AEC in connection with the Transition.

2. ORDER FULFILLMENT. Subject to the terms of this Section 2, AEC shall supply
to customers all Records and Consignment Product (collectively, "Product")
ordered by the customers of the Store (the "Customers"). In connection
therewith, AEC shall perform the fulfillment, technical and professional
services described below.

2.1 Fulfillment Services:

2.1.1 AEC shall process orders received from Store and arrange to have the
ordered Product shipped to the Customer. All orders will be quality controlled
through advanced sorting and UPC verification methods. However, AEC will have no
obligation to ship "Commercially Unavailable Product," which shall mean any
Record or other item of Product which, at the time the order for such item is
ordered by a Customer or during the process of such order being fulfilled, is
not in the inventory of AEC and, with respect to Records only: (a) is no longer
manufactured; (b) is not reasonably available to AEC from the company that
releases such product; or (c) has been deleted from the catalog of the company
that releases such items.

2.1.2 The Store shall provide advanced on-line connectivity in order to query or
commit Product orders for Customers in real time fulfillment.

2.1.3 AEC shall host a "Remote Order Entry" application that will permit Company
to manually enter Customer orders, cancel or delete orders, query order status
and process authorization for product returns, directly from the AEC fulfillment
computer system. This application will permit Company to access Customer orders.

2.1.4 AEC shall be an invisible fulfillment arm. AEC will produce custom Company
invoices with Company's logo and store policies, shipping labels and packaging
consistent with AEC technologies and capabilities that will accompany an order
to identify the product/order as from

Company. AEC will affix stickers and any other identification labels as Company
may request from time to time in respect of all orders of Product, [***]. In
addition, AEC will, [***], insert promotional materials (e.g., stickers bearing
Company's logo, coupons, etc.) on behalf of Company with each shipment, [***]
shall bear the costs of invoices and shipping labels, provided [***] accepts
[***] invoice and shipping label formats (samples of which are attached hereto
as Exhibit 3). Special handling considerations not otherwise addressed herein
shall be reviewed during formal operations meetings and it is understood that
AEC and Company shall negotiate in good faith as to the cost, if any, which will
be charged for such special handling.

2.1.5 AEC will make available account representatives who will be responsible
for using reasonable efforts to meet all Company's customer service, product
sales, and technological needs for Company to manage the Store on an on-going
basis.

2.2 Shipping and Return Procedures:

2.2.1 Other than with respect to Commercially Unavailable Product, AEC
represents that (i) all Product for which a Verified Order has been received by
AEC prior to 3:00 PM Eastern Time shall be shipped on a same-day basis, and (ii)
no less than 95% of all units of Product shall be shipped from an AEC facility
within 24 hours of AEC's receipt of a Verified Order therefor. No Product shall
be shipped or otherwise released by AEC to any third party other than pursuant
to a Verified Order. As used herein, the term "Verified Order" means an order
that provides all of the relevant Customer information, including valid account,
address, credit card information and Product related information and for which
transaction authorization has been received by Company's (or AEC's, if
applicable) credit card contractor or payment from the Customer has otherwise
been received by Company.

2.2.2 Current methods of shipment include: United States Postal Service: and
United Parcel Service. AEC shall offer to Company the full range of shipping
options to Customers of Company at no additional cost above fees charged by the
shipping carriers. [***].

2.2.3 Company shall designate the return policies of the Store (which current
policies are set forth on Exhibit 4 attached hereto and shall not be subject to
significant changes in respect of Records without AEC's consent). AEC shall not
issue a refund or other credit to any Consumer for returned Product without
first verifying that Company has issued an appropriate return authorization for
the Product concerned. Company shall assume and pay for all shipping and other
costs incurred in respect of returned, exchanged, refused and undeliverable
Product, including all shipping and other costs incurred with respect to the
processing of an order if the Customer provides incorrect information to AEC, or
if Company causes incorrect order information (i.e., other than as provided by
the Customer) to be provided to AEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AEC shall be
responsible for all Product either incorrectly shipped to a Customer or damaged
while in transit to the Customer, but only if such Product was shipped via an
insured and traceable carrier. In such cases, AEC shall assume and pay for all
shipping and other costs incurred in the return or exchange of Product and will
ensure that Company incurs no product cost for the involved transaction. With
respect to all unopened

Records returned by a Customer in accordance with the return policies of the
Store other than defective, damaged or incorrectly shipped Records, [***].

2.2.4 Company shall also be able to receive electronic updates on orders
shipped, including shipping methods, tracking numbers, fill, invoice totals, and
all pertinent data reasonably requested by Company.

2.3 Prices; Costs; Fees:

2.3.1 Company shall designate the price of all Product offered for sale on the
Store, as well as all other amounts to be charged to the Customers (e.g.,
shipping and handling charges).

2.3.2 Company shall purchase from AEC each Record fulfilled by AEC hereunder at
[***]. The parties acknowledge that such prices may be subject to such increases
or decreases (e.g., if the manufacturers of Records adjust their prices to AEC)
as mutually agreed by the parties from time to time. [***].

2.3.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order effectively to promote and attract
Customers to the Store, the parties acknowledge the value of Company offering
for sale on the Store selected Records at special marked-down prices for limited
periods of time (a "Limited Special"). Company shall advise AEC of the
applicable SKU's and time periods for which Company wishes to conduct a Limited
Special at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled commencement thereof,
[***].

2.3.4 Company shall pay AEC a fulfillment fee for each item of Consignment
Product fulfilled by AEC hereunder equal to that set forth on Exhibit 6 attached
hereto.

2.3.5 Subject to paragraph 2.2.2 above, Company shall reimburse AEC for its
actual shipping expenses to ship ordered Product to the Customers. The shipping
rates of AEC's shippers and carriers that shall be charged to Company are set
forth on Exhibit 7 attached hereto. Subject to paragraph 2.2.2 above, shipping
rates are subject to changes generally noticed to trade and Company by AEC.

2.3.6 Company shall be responsible for the cost of actual packaging materials
(e.g., shipping boxes) required for secure shipment of Consignment Product (as
opposed to shipment of Records, for which the costs of packaging materials are
included in the prices charged to Company hereunder) to Customers. Such costs
are set forth on Exhibit 8 attached hereto.

2.3.7 Company shall pay AEC a [***] service charge per Customer inquiry handled
by AEC pursuant to Section 3 below, including per manual order processed by AEC
(i.e., orders received by AEC other than via the interactive Store electronic
order processing, such as via fax, phone or email). The parties agree to
negotiate a reasonable increase or decrease of such service charge if the volume
of Customer inquiries and/or AEC's associated costs prove significantly
different than expected by the parties as of the execution hereof.

<PAGE>   7

2.3.8 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, AEC shall impose no
additional incremental charges to Company for handling Records and Consignment
Product to be shipped to Company's customers hereunder.

2.4 Foreign Fulfillment: It is the intention of the parties that AEC shall
initially fulfill orders of Product hereunder throughout the world. [***].

3. CUSTOMER SERVICE.

3.1 Subject to paragraph 2.3.7 above, AEC shall initially provide, on behalf of
Company, customer support for those orders placed by Customers through the
Store. It is contemplated that AEC shall provide such services during the
initial nine (9) months of the term of this Agreement. The period during which
AEC provides such services is sometimes referred to herein as the "AEC Service
Period." These services shall include retaining and supervising customer support
personnel who will respond to Customer inquiries about products ordered via the
telephone, fax, and on-line. AEC shall also provide office space and equipment
for that personnel. It is further contemplated that, after said nine (9) month
period, Company shall assume this Customer support function, subject to Company
notifying AEC of its intention to do so at least 60 days in advance. The parties
understand that when AEC provides Customer support, it will be provided so the
Customer perceives that such support is being provided by Company. AEC (or
Company, as applicable) shall respond promptly and professionally to Customers'
questions regarding the procedure for ordering Products and any other questions
regarding their orders. In communicating with Customers in connection with
Customers' inquiries, AEC and Company shall use e-mail or other online
connectivity to Customers whenever reasonably possible.

3.2 AEC will provide Company's customers with a toll-free (800 phone number)
call center and AEC will establish and maintain an e-mail customer service
address. AEC will maintain Company's consumer call center at its Florida
headquarters. Consumer Call Center operates Monday through Friday (excluding
holidays), 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Eastern Time. Incoming phone calls received after
normal coverage hours are handled via e-mail and AEC will respond to all its
customer email messages the following working day. The services to be provided
by AEC under this Section 3 are further outlined on Exhibit 1 attached hereto.

3.3 The Store will contain a prominently featured hyperlink, with the AMG logo,
to www.allmusic.com. In the event Company receives corrections, additions,
errors, and other comments about the AMG Database from the Store's users,
Company shall forward those comments to the AEC staff. Additionally, both
Company and AEC will review, use and evaluate statistical information collected
via the Store that indicates Customer preferences, purchasing patterns and
similar buying behaviors.

3.4 During the AEC Service Period, all credit card transactions shall be handled
by AEC, [***], under Company's credit card merchant clearing agreement. If AEC
should nevertheless receive

Section 365(n)(1) and (2), retain any and all rights licensed to Company under
this paragraph 4.1, to the maximum extent permitted by law, subject to Company
making any payments to AEC required under paragraph 4.1.5 above.

4.1.7 If, at any time during the AMG License Period, AEC (or any affiliate of
AEC) is approached by a third party or otherwise commences communications with a
third party with respect to a proposed sale or other transfer of ownership or
control in respect of the AMG Database, AEC (or such affiliate) shall promptly
notify Company to such effect so as to accord Company a reasonable opportunity
to negotiate with AEC (or such affiliate) in order to obtain the rights proposed
to be so sold or transferred.

4.2 AEC Availability File: AEC currently compiles and maintains, and shall
continue at all times during the term of this Agreement to compile and maintain,
a separate inventory database which provides AEC's retail customers with
information regarding the availability and pricing of AEC's available SKU's (the
"AEC Availability File"). Subject to paragraph 4.3.7 below, AEC hereby
irrevocably grants to Company, during the term of this Agreement, the
non-exclusive license (without the right of sub-license, whether to Company's
affiliates or otherwise), throughout the universe, to use, copy, display and
otherwise exploit the AEC Availability File, and any portions thereof, solely in
and as part of the Store and in the manner contemplated hereby.

4.3 Other Terms Concerning Databases:

4.3.1 The AMG Database and the AEC Availability File are sometimes referred to
herein individually as a "Database" or collectively as the "Databases."

4.3.2 Except as set forth in paragraph 4.1.5 above, the rights licensed to
Company hereby in respect of the Databases shall not involve the payment of
royalties or any other consideration whatsoever to AEC, its affiliates, or any
other person or entity.

4.3.3 AEC shall incorporate the Databases into the Store to be used as the
Customers' shopping catalog, and shall provide regular updating and general
editorial and database maintenance service at all times so as to make the
information contained in the Databases current and complete to the same extent

executed, which versions have been reviewed by Company. AEC represents and
warrants that the AMG Database shall be updated no less frequently than monthly,
and that the AEC Availability File shall be updated no less frequently than
weekly, or at such other intervals as mutually agreed by AEC and Company, but in
no event less frequently than AEC or any of its affiliates provide updates to
any of their other licensees. Both parties recognize the importance of offering
the Customers complete details on the up and coming new album releases.

4.3.4 At Company's request, AEC shall adapt the Databases so as to allow them to
be linked to third party audio sample databases (subject to AEC's reasonable
approval), provided such third party databases contain accurate UPC bar codes
for all applicable audio formats and configurations (e.g., videocassette, laser
discs, etc.) and Company causes such third party databases to be delivered to
AEC. If Company requires additional linking beyond the UPC bar code, this can be
arranged for a fee to be agreed upon by Company and AEC.

5. AMG TRADEMARKS.

5.1 Company agrees to include the "All Music Guide" trademark, service mark
and/or associated design or logo (individually and collectively, the "AMG
Marks") with all presentations of AMG Database information on the Store and
UBL.COM (e.g., page view, discography listing, biography, album review, album
track listing), so as to inform the viewer that the data viewed has been
provided by the All Music Guide. The placement of the AMG Marks shall be
designated by AEC, subject to Company's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Placement of the AMG Marks in accordance with the
illustrations attached hereto as Exhibit 9 attached hereto shall be deemed
pre-approved by AEC and Company. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, displays of the following AMG Database information will be marked
with the corresponding AMG logo and branding as set forth below: Artist
Biographies, Essays, and Album Reviews will be marked "AMG Biography," "AMG
Essay," and "AMG Review," respectively. After each biography and album review,

marked as: "AMG Roots & Influences," "AMG Similar/Related Artists," "AMG Music
Maps," "AMG Track Listings" and "AMG Similar Albums."

5.2 During the AMG License Period, Company agrees to cause the AMG Marks to

Company, Company shall be solely responsible for: (i) shipping the items to AEC
[***], (iii) assisting AEC in insuring that each item has a viable UPC code,

of no less than [***] turnovers per year of such inventory. In the event, after
the initial three (3) months the Store has been in operation, the parties
determine that the average turnover rate for all such inventory is less than so
anticipated, then AEC shall be entitled to charge Company a warehouse rental fee
equal to [***] per month thereafter during which the turnover rate is lower than
an average of [***] per year for each required warehouse bin/storage location.

6.3 AEC shall receive, unpack, count and add UPC codes (to the extent required)
to all shipments of Consignment Product and promptly incorporate such units into
the AEC Availability File and/or otherwise provide Company with up-to-date
inventory levels in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Company. AEC shall
promptly notify Company if there is a discrepancy between the actual number of
units received in any shipment and the corresponding number reflected on the
packing slip. Company shall advise AEC at least seven (7) days in advance of
forthcoming deliveries.

6.4 As between AEC and Company, all Consignment Product inventory shall remain
the property of Company at all times. AEC agrees that it shall safeguard such
inventory in the same manner that it safeguards items in its own inventory in
its warehouse, and that it shall be responsible for all inventory shrinkage.

6.5 All inventory of Consignment Product shall be held in separate locations in
AEC's warehouse so as to physically segregate all Consignment Product inventory
from AEC's inventory of other products, which locations shall be clearly marked
by posted signs or placards identifying all inventory in the applicable storage
area as belonging to a third party. Company shall have the right to approve all
such signs and placards as to language, size and placement. AEC agrees from time
to time to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take
all further actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Company may
reasonably request, in order to protect Company's and the Company Clients'
rights in the Consignment Product inventory. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing AEC hereby irrevocably grants to each of Company and the Company
Clients a power-of-attorney to sign and file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, under the Uniform Commercial
Code relative to all or any part of the Consignment Product inventory without
the signature of AEC where permitted by law.

report detailing such Net Monthly Sales, along with payment of any amounts due.

7.2.4 In the event Company sells musical recordings on the Store via a digital

not be obligated to render statements under this paragraph 7.2.4 for months
during which there are no such sales.

within thirty (30) days after each calendar month of the term of this Agreement,

reflecting shipments received, units sold and returned, and then-current
inventory levels as of the end of the calendar month concerned. Company shall
have reasonable access to AEC's warehouse in order to perform physical inventory
counts from time to time.

7.4 Books and Records: Each party shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense and upon reasonable notice to the other party, to inspect and audit the
books and records of such other party insofar as said books and records pertain

place during normal business hours at the place of business where such books and
records are kept, and not more than once per calendar year. Any such inspection
must be undertaken within two (2) years after the end of the calendar year being

11.1 BY AEC. AEC shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Company and all of
Company's members, employees, officers, directors and agents from and against
any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, suits, actions, demands,

attorneys' fees incurred, with or without suit, in arbitration or mediation, on
appeal or in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding) (collectively, "Claims")
threatened, asserted or filed by a third party against any of the aforesaid
persons or entities to the extent that such third party Claims arise out of or
relate to (i) the breach of any material warranty, representation or agreement
made by AEC in this Agreement; or (ii) any grossly negligent or tortuous act,
willful misconduct or willful omission by AEC; provided, however, that AEC shall
not be liable for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the Databases, or the
updates thereof unless caused by AEC's gross negligence or willful neglect.
Furthermore, AEC shall not be liable for any delays or interruptions in the
delivery, transmission or distribution of the Databases or the updates by reason
of unavoidable equipment failure, communication circuit failure, power failure,
Acts of God, government intervention, fire, flood, or other Acts beyond AEC's
reasonable control. Claims arising from modifications by Company of the
Databases or as a result of a failure by Company to implement any enhancements,
improvements, or updates to the Databases as supplied by AEC, shall be deemed
excluded from the indemnity under this paragraph 11.1.

11.2 By Company. Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend AEC and all

the Indemnifying Party may assume the handling, settlement and defense of such
Claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will cooperate in all reasonable
respects with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party's expense. The
failure by the Indemnified Party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability under this Section 11 unless, and only
to the extent that, such failure results in prejudice to or forfeiture of,
substantive rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party
shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on demand for any payment made by the

           and/or updates on orders, as required by the consumer (i.e., is the

           order, etc.)

        b) Back Orders & Special Orders. Customer Service will provide support,
           answer, update information from the consumer on items placed on back

           usually take?) Additionally, Customer Service will update the
           consumer on discontinued items, release product as these become
           available, and cancel back orders.

between AEC One Stop Group Inc., ("AEC") and THE ULTIMATE BAND LIST, LLC
("UBL"), (together the "Parties") as follows (all capitalized terms used in this
Amendment that are otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Agreement).

WHEREAS UBL and its affiliates (signatories to the Agreement) ARTISTdirect New
Media, LLC and ARTISTdirect, LLC ("AD") (together the "Companies") have been

various industry directories) website (the "Pollstar Website"), and

WHEREAS, the Companies have reached an understanding with Pollstar to design a
custom e-commerce solution for Pollstar (the "Pollstar Store"), whereby AD will
develop, build, host, maintain, and manage the entire e-commerce effort tied-in
to the Pollstar Website, and

WHEREAS, the Companies desire to create the Pollstar Store by amending the
Agreement, to which AEC has agreed as amended herein.

          Companies herein represent that the Pollstar's databases shall not
          misrepresent the relationship established herein, or imply that a
          relationship exists between AEC and Pollstar and the Pollstar Store.
     c)   AEC data, and the actual e-commerce transactions conducted, shall
          reside and be processed on UBL servers.

          own servers, and at no time shall Pollstar exercise any control over
          any AEC technology and AMG content or property.
     g)   The creation of the Pollstar Store shall not, under this amendment,

          any relationship whatsoever between AEC and Pollstar.
     h)   Pollstar shall not be considered an agent of AEC.
     i)   As Pollstar may be deemed an affiliate of Companies, AEC may publicly

          order.
     p)   UBL shall be responsible for payment to AEC of all Pollstar Store
