                  hand delivered letter to the Company. The Company understands
                  that no guarantee or assurance has been nor can be provided by
                  the Agent that its efforts will lead to the Company being
                  provided with financing. The Company, its agents, heirs,
                  assignees and successors agree that there can be no direct
                  contact between the Company, its agents and the source of the
                  potential financing without the written authorization or
                  consent of the Agent. Said provision shall remain in effect
                  for two years from the date of the initial introductions.

                  Company by the Agent or any other party with respect to this
                  agreement, except as agreed to in writing prior to the
                  expenditure.

         3.       The fee schedule described herein is the total fee to the
                  Agent and is the only compensation from the Company to the

                           by the Company or its affiliates from a source
                           introduced by the Agent.

         4.       Fees discussed in this agreement are payable by the Company
                  upon receipt of funding. Fees will be paid by wire in
                  immediately available U.S. denominational funds to the

         5.       If the Company accepts financing from any parties introduced
                  to it through the efforts of the agent, the Company agrees to
                  pay the Agent in accordance with this agreement with respect

                  parties for a period of two years from the date of the
                  introduction.

         6.       Disputes will be resolved in arbitration. The Company and the
                  Agent will each select an American Arbitration Association
                  (AAA) accredited, authorized member. They will then select a
                  third (AAA) representative to decide the matter in dispute.
                  Their majority or unanimous decision will be binding upon all
                  parties. The arbitration will take place at the AAA offices,
                  in Chicago, Illinois.

         7.       The terms of this agreement shall be binding upon and inure to

                  hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors
                  and assigns. This agreement may not be amended, modified or

                  may not be waived except by written agreement executed by the
                  party making the waiver.

          8.      The Company represents and warrants that this agreement has
                  been authorized by all necessary corporate action and
                  constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the
                  Company in accordance with its terms.

                  been authorized by all necessary corporate action and
                  constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the
                  Agent in accordance with its terms, (b) the Agent is duly

         Product(s) during that linked session is a Plus User, and shall receive
         access to the Content. RN and Provider will use commercially reasonable
         efforts to limit access to the Content to Plus Users. Except as
         expressly set forth herein, RN, and not Provider shall responsible for

         trademark, patent and other intellectual property rights in and to, and
         all other right, title and interest in and to the Content, Provider's
         Marks, and the Excerpts. As between RN and Provider (excluding the
         Content, Provider's Marks or other intellectual property provided by
         Provider to RN), RN owns all copyright, trademark, patent and other
         intellectual property rights therein, and all other right, title and
         interest in and to or associated with the Promotions, the Plus

         Software.

5.       RN'S PROMOTIONAL USE. Provider agrees that RN may, during the Term, use

7.       TERMINATION. If either party materially breaches any provision of this
         Agreement and such breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days

         termination of this Agreement for any reason.

8.       PROVIDER INDEMNIFICATION. Provider shall defend, indemnify, and hold RN
         harmless against any and all claims, damages, costs, and expenses
         (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection

         to receive any royalty or other payment as a result of the transmission
         or other use of the Content as contemplated by or provided under this
         Agreement.

9.       RN INDEMNIFICATION. RN shall defend, indemnify, and hold Provider
         harmless against any and all claims, damages, costs, and expenses

         third party proprietary rights, either in whole or in part; (b) that RN

                  With a copy to:                 Gail F. Rosenblum
                  Leigh McMillan                  at the same address
                  at the same address

13.      NON-ASSIGNMENT. No party may assign, sublicense, transfer, encumber or
         otherwise dispose of this Agreement without the prior written approval
         of the other party, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. Any
         attempted assignment, sublicense, transfer, encumbrance or other
         disposal of this Agreement by either party in violation of this
         provision will constitute a material default and breach of this
         Agreement. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement will be binding
         upon and inure to the benefit of the parties' successors and lawful
         assigns.

14.      TERM RENEWAL. RN may renew the agreement for a subsequent three (3)
         month renewal period on a non-exclusive basis upon written notice at
         least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial Term.

15.      CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties acknowledge that confidential information
         is valuable and unique and that disclosure in breach of this
         confidentiality provision will result in irreparable injury to its
         owner. From the Effective Date and for a period of three (3) years from
         the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, neither party
         shall use, disclose, or permit any person to obtain any confidential
         information of the other party. As used herein, "confidential
         information" includes any materials developed or generated hereunder
         (whether or not such confidential information is in written or tangible
         form) that is marked confidential or, if not so marked, could
         reasonably be interpreted to be confidential. If either party receives
         a request from any third party for the confidential information of the
         other party, or if such party is directed to disclose any portion of
         any confidential information of the other party by operation of law or
         in connection with a judicial or governmental proceeding or
         arbitration, it will immediately notify the other party and will assist
         the other party in seeking a suitable protective order or assurance of
         confidential treatment to preserve the confidentiality of any such
         confidential information. If either party breaches or threatens to
         breach of the terms of this confidentiality provision, the
         non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting any
         such breach.

<PAGE>   4

         Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any
         appropriate relief in the way of money damages.

16.      PRESS RELEASES AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS. No party shall issue any press
         releases or make public statements relating to this Agreement or the
         relationship between the parties without the other party's review of
         and written consent to such press release or public statement.

17.      MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement constitutes the final agreement between
