         (ii)     **************** as imposed by the government of the Territory
                  and paid by Developer on the Turner Revenue Share during the
                  relevant period,

         payable on such terms as are set out in Schedule A. The parties
         acknowledge and agree that business tax will be deductible in
         calculating the above withholding tax.

6.3      Payment and Taxes

(a)      All payments under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars.
         Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, Linktone Parties shall
         be jointly and severally responsible for the payment of all taxes
         (including any value-added, goods and services tax or other turnover
         taxes), levies, duties, fees or other assessments and related penalties
         and surcharges levied in the Territory in connection with the CN
         Content, the Turner Content, the CN Characters and the marketing and
         trademark rights licensed by Turner, and Developer shall hold Turner
         and its Affiliates harmless from the same.

(b)      If any payments made by Developer to Turner under this Agreement are
         subject to withholding tax levied by a governmental authority in the
         Territory, Developer may withhold the applicable withholding tax from
         the relevant payment and remit the balance to Turner, provided that
         Developer supplies Turner with ------------- original documentation
         evidencing the appropriate payment by Developer of that withholding tax
         immediately following each such remittance. Turner is a resident of the
         United States of America for tax purposes, regardless of the location
         of its designated remittance or payment address. Accordingly, if the
         territory in which Developer is incorporated is party to an applicable
         taxation treaty with the United States of America, withholding tax
         under this Agreement should follow the prescribed tax rate under that
         treaty. Developer acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to withhold
         and/or pay withholding tax as set out in this paragraph, Turner (i)
         shall not be liable to refund to Developer or Distributor any payment
         made under this Agreement (or any part of it) in connection with any
         withholding tax payable on it; and (ii) shall continue not to be
         responsible for any withholding tax payable under this Agreement. If
         Developer is legally restricted from remitting any payment due under
         this Agreement, it shall promptly notify Turner and follow Turner's
         instructions with respect to that payment.

6.4      Timeliness. All payments under this Agreement shall be made to Turner
         at the address set out in this Agreement (or subsequently advised in
         writing by Turner) by the due date and in the manner specified in this
         Agreement, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The parties
         acknowledge and agree that the time within which Developer is required
         to make payment in accordance with this Agreement is of the essence of
         this Agreement and any failure to do so by Developer shall constitute a
         breach of this Agreement.

7.       WITHDRAWAL.

Linktone Parties acknowledge and agree that if Turner (or its Affiliate) on any
occasion reasonably considers it necessary or advisable in the exercise of its
business judgment to withdraw individual elements of CN Content or Turner
Content due to any question concerning

                                       11

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AND CONFIDENTIAL TERMS HAVE BEEN
OMITTED

<PAGE>

any right or claim to it, Turner may immediately remove such individual element
from the CN Content or the Turner Content so as to deny Linktone Parties any
further access to that element of the CN Content or the Turner Content (as
applicable), and Linktone Parties shall promptly withdraw such element from
distribution in the Territory. This withdrawal right is not intended to alter
Turner's obligations under this Agreement, but only to provide Turner a means to
withdraw particular elements from the CN Content or the Turner Content as it
deems reasonably necessary.

8.       TRADEMARKS.

Without making any representations or warranties of any kind with respect to its
respective Trademarks, each party consents to the non-exclusive use by the other
party (in this paragraph referred to as the user) of its designated Trademarks
to the extent necessary for the user to perform this Agreement and then only in
accordance with the following.

(a)      The user must comply with all reasonable instructions by the first
         party as to the use of the Trademarks of the first party.

(b)      The user must not use a Trademark of the first party in combination
         with any other trademark or service mark without the prior written
         consent of the first party.

(c)      The user must not use a Trademark in a way that is derogatory to or
         critical of the first party or its affiliates or any of their products
         or services.

(d)      The user will acquire no ownership of the Trademarks licensed to it
         under this Agreement and will not attack or assist any other person to
         attack the ownership of a Trademark licensed to the user under this
         Agreement.

(e)      If any unauthorised use of the other party's Trademarks by third
         parties comes to a party's attention, it shall promptly notify the
         other party of that unauthorised use.

(f)      On termination or expiry of this Agreement, the user agrees promptly to
         discontinue all use of the first party's Trademarks and to destroy, or
         deliver to the first party at its request, all materials bearing the
         first party's Trademarks.

(g)      Each party reserves all rights in and to its Trademarks not
         specifically granted in this Agreement.

9.       AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES.

Turner and Linktone Parties each agree to designate one suitably qualified and
experienced representatives as its primary contact for business matters relating
to this Agreement and to act on behalf of them for all purposes in connection
with this Agreement. If the representative of a party is unable or likely to be
unable to carry out his or her role under this Agreement, then that party shall
promptly appoint a new suitably qualified and experienced representative and
advise the other party of the change.

10.      CONFIDENTIALITY.

All parties agree to keep confidential the terms of this Agreement and all
negotiations related to the Agreement and to limit disclosure of the contents of
this Agreement and ongoing negotiations to its employees and advisors on a
need-to-know basis. However, each party may disclose such information to its
Affiliates who are advised of the confidential nature of such information and
who have a legitimate need to know in connection with continuing negotiations
contemplated under this Agreement. Each party may also disclose such information
in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, applicable law. The
obligations set out in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

11.      TERMINATION.

(a)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Turner may immediately
         terminate this Agreement by written notice to Linktone Parties if:

         (i)      Developer or Distributor is in breach of any provision of this
                  Agreement and, in case of breach capable of remedy, has failed
                  to remedy that breach within 14 days of notice requiring it to
                  do so;

                  the case of breach capable of remedy, has failed to remedy
                  that breach within 14 days of notice requiring it to do so;

         (ii)     Linktone Parties believe on reasonable grounds that Turner is
                  unable to pay its debts when they fall due.

(c)      The termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any
         action or remedy of a party arising prior to the date of termination.

(d)      On expiration or termination of this Agreement or on demand by Turner,
         Linktone Parties shall destroy all CN Content and Turner Content and
         certify to Turner that they have done so.

12.      FORCE MAJEURE.

No party will be responsible for delays in performance caused by acts of God or
governmental authority, strikes or labour disputes, electrical outage, equipment
failure, fires or other loss of facilities or any other cause beyond the party's
reasonable control. The affected party must use reasonable efforts to minimise
the effect of the delay. If such a delay in Linktone Parties' performance of
this Agreement continues for 20 or more consecutive days or 30 or more days
within a single 90-day period, Turner may terminate this Agreement without
further liability or

                                       13

17.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between
the parties with respect to

                                       15
<PAGE>

that subject matter. No amendment to this Agreement will be valid unless
confirmed in writing by both parties. Any provision of this Agreement that is
unenforceable in a jurisdiction is ineffective as to that jurisdiction to the
extent of the unenforceability. That does not affect the validity or
enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction nor invalidate the
remaining provisions of this Agreement. A party's failure or delay in exercising
any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver by that party nor
will any single or partial exercise of any right or the exercise of any other
right preclude any further exercise. This Agreement does not constitute either
party as the partner, agent or employee or representative of the other. Neither
Developer nor Distributor may assign this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Turner. All obligations imposed on both Developer and Distributor
under this Agreement shall be borne jointly and severally by them.

                            or materials that are provided to Developer under
                            this Agreement for the purpose of the installation
                            and operation of the CN Games by Developer on the
                            Service and/or resulting from the use of the CN

                            Games by Developer.

CN Games:                   The CN Games produced by Developer and distributed
                            by Distributor shall be interactive. SMS-based games
                            that result from the installation of the CN
                            Functionality on the Service and the exchange of
                            Game Components on the Service as follows: a
                            Subscriber requests a CN Game from Distributor.
                            Distributor sends the first question of that CN Game
                            to the Subscriber via the Designated Technology. The
                            Subscriber answers the question sent by Distributor,
                            also via the Designated Technology. Distributor
                            sends the Subscriber the next question of that CN
                            Game to the Subscriber, via the Designated
                            Technology. The question and answer pattern repeats
                            until that playing of the CN Game ends.

                            to Developer by Turner in accordance with this
                            Agreement and the Cartoon Network television channel
