                          Common Stock Purchase Warrant

                         (Void after September 8, 2002)

Blue Zone, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), for value received,
hereby certifies that Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., or its registered assigns
(the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on
or after the date of issuance and on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on
September 8, 2002, Twenty eight thousand two hundred forty nine (28,249) shares
of Common Stock, of the Company, at a purchase price of $8.10 per share. The
shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per
share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this
Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase
Price," respectively.

1.  EXERCISE.

        (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or
in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as
Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered Holder or by the Registered Holder's
duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such
other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in
full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in
respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.

        (b) The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to pay some or all
of the Purchase Price payable upon an exercise of this Warrant by canceling all
or a portion of this Warrant. If the Registered Holder wishes to exercise this
Warrant

<PAGE>   2

by this method, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable (which shall in no
event exceed the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant
as set forth above), subject to adjustment under Section 2 of this Warrant)
shall be determined as follows:

               X=Y[(A-B)/A]; where

X= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y= the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.

A= the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

B= the Purchase Price of one share of Common Stock.

          The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as
follows:

               (i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
        exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized
        trading system (including, without limitation, the OTC Bulletin Board
        and, if the average daily trading volume for the preceding 10 days has
        been at least 100,000 shares, the Pink Sheets) as of the Exercise Date,
        the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
        the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common
        Stock thereon on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date
        (provided that if no such price is reported on such day, the Fair Market
        Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined pursuant to clause
        (ii)).

               (ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
        exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized
        trading system as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share
        of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently
        determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair market value
        per share of the Common Stock (including without limitation a
        determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or issuing
        Common Stock under an employee benefit plan of the Company); and, upon
        request of the Registered Holder, the Board of Directors (or a
        representative thereof) shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of
        the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the
        foregoing, if the Board of Directors has not made such a determination
        within the three-month period prior to the Exercise Date, then (A) the
        Board of Directors shall make a determination of the Fair Market Value
        per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a request by the
        Registered Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant
        pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such
        determination is made.

        (c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant
shall

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above
accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price (the "Exercise Date"). At
such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection
1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

        (d) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or
in part, and in any event within 5 business days thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

               (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant
        Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such
        exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered
        Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined
        pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and

               (ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or
        warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate
        on the face or faces thereof for the number of remaining Warrant Shares.

2.  ADJUSTMENTS.

        (a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first
issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the
combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

        (b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase
Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the
time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed,
as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase
Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the
close of business on such record date, and

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

        (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
           Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
           such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the
           number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend
           or distribution;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend
is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed
therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.

        (c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is
required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b),
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment.

        (d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or
other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such
event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or cash and
other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and
had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities
receivable, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.

        (e) Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc. If there shall occur
any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the
Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a),
2(b) or 2(d)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization,
consolidation or merger, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise
hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the
Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to
such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger, the Registered
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (x) there shall occur any
reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or merger involving the Company

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for anything other than
solely equity securities, and (y) the common stock of the acquiring or surviving
company is publicly traded, then, as part of any such reorganization,
recapitalization, consolidation or merger, (i) the Registered Holder shall have
the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof such number of shares
of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as is determined by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to this
Warrant by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock as of the effective date of such transaction, as
determined pursuant to subsection 1(b), and the denominator of which is the fair
market value per share of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as
of the effective date of such transaction, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company (using the principles set forth in subsection
1(b) to the extent applicable), and (ii) the exercise price per share of common
stock of the acquiring or surviving company shall be the Purchase Price divided
by the fraction referred to in clause (B) above. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein
with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to
the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions
with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any
securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant.

        (e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the
Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be
exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written
request at any time of the Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then
in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any,
of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the
exercise of this Warrant.

3. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of
this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an adjustment
therefor in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.

4.  REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER.

        (a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or transferred
unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or (ii) the Company first shall have been
furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Act.

        (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel
shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a
corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary of such corporation, a transfer by a
Registered Holder which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a
retired partner of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or
retired partner, a transfer by a Registered Holder which is a limited liability
company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member or to
the estate of any such member or retired member, or a transfer by a Registered
Holder which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (the
"NASD") to an officer or employee of the Registered Holder as permitted by NASD
rules, provided that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject
to the terms of this Section 4, or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule
144 under the Act.

        (c) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form:

        "The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
        under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered,
        sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until
        such securities are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel
        satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that such
        registration is not required."

The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any
Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they
become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act or if an
effective registration statement is then in effect permitting the resale of the
Warrant Shares.

        (d) The Registered Holder shall have "piggyback" registration rights to
have the Warrant Shares (but not the Warrants) registered for resale on any
registration statement which the Company files for any purpose on a form
available for such registration, after the Original Issue Date. Such
registration shall be subject to customary obligations by the Registered Holder
to provide information to the Company and by the Company to indemnify the
Registered Holder against Securities Act liabilities.

5. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

6.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC.  In the event:

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

        (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
(or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other
right; or of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of
the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or
exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

        (b) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date
for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior
to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

7. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant,
such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or property, as
from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

8. EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder, properly
endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company
will, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, issue and deliver to or
upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's expense, a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder or as the
Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash
and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

9. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and
(in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.

<PAGE>   8

10.  TRANSFERS, ETC.

        (a) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and address
of the Registered Holder of this Warrant. The Registered Holder may change its
or his address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company
requesting such change.

        (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit II hereto)
at the principal office of the Company.

        (c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register,
the Company may treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned
in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer
hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary.

11.  REPRESENTATIONS OF THE REGISTERED HOLDER.  The Registered Holder of this
Warrant represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

        (a) Investment. The Registered Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, for its own account
for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling
the same, except as otherwise may be permitted under applicable securities laws.

        (b) Authority. The Registered Holder has full power and authority to
enter into and to perform this Warrant in accordance with its terms. The
Registered Holder has not been organized specifically for the purpose of
investing in the Company.

it shall give prompt written notice to the Registered Holder and thereafter all

                                       8

<PAGE>   9

13. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered
Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder
of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Company
effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the
Purchase Price of and the number of Warrant Shares are adjusted as of the date
of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such
dividend), and (ii) the Registered Holder exercises this Warrant between the
record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend, the Registered
Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock
dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise,
notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close
of business on the record date for such stock dividend.

14.  CHANGE OR WAIVER.  Any term of this Warrant may be changed or waived only
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change or waiver is sought.

15.  SECTION HEADINGS.  The section headings in this Warrant are for the
convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict
the contractual obligations of the parties.

16.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (without reference to
the conflicts of law provisions thereof).

EXECUTED as of the Date of Issuance indicated above.

Section 2.     Development of the CTV Web Site.

      (a)    Phase I.

             (i)    Preparation of Specifications. The CTV Web Site will
aggregate content from CTV News and CTV National News. Blue Zone will prepare,
with the assistance of CTV, specifications for the CTV Web Site setting forth
the concept; subject matter; major formatting requirements and other required
technical characteristics of the content; operation and technical
requirements; use and capacity expectations and other pertinent information
for the CTV Web Site; the development activities of the parties; the
preliminary development budget for the CTV Web Site; the allocation of
responsibilities; and the preliminary timelines for completion of those
activities with respect to the CTV Web Site (the "Specifications"), all as
further described on Schedule A hereto. The parties understand and agree that
the Specifications may be modified from time to time with the written
agreement of the parties. The CTV Web Site will not be required to meet
standards or have characteristics which are not set forth in the
Specifications or in any agreed upon written modifications thereto.

             (ii)   Schedule for Preparation of Specifications. Blue Zone will
have ten (10) business days from the date hereof (which time may be extended
by mutual agreement of the parties acting reasonably) to prepare and deliver
to CTV a preliminary version of the Specifications. CTV will have five (5)
business days (which date may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties
acting reasonably) from the date it receives a copy of the proposed
Specifications to accept the Specifications, and such acceptance will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Blue Zone agrees to make itself available
for a "walk through" of the preliminary Specifications during this review
period. Acceptance of the Specifications will be deemed to have occurred if
CTV provides Blue Zone with written notice of acceptance or if CTV fails to
reject the Specifications by written notice to Blue Zone delivered within such
five (5) business day period, at which point the parties will be deemed to
have agreed to proceed to Phase II. In the event that CTV, acting reasonably,
rejects the Specifications, CTV will notify Blue Zone in writing, and will
specify its reasons in such notice for such rejection. If CTV rejects the
Specifications, Blue Zone will have thirty (30) business days (which date may
be extended by mutual agreement of the parties acting reasonably in light of
the objections made by CTV) in which to prepare and submit revised
Specifications, in which case the provisions of this Section 2 will apply to
such re-submission until such time as the Specifications are

<PAGE>   5

accepted by CTV. In the event that CTV rejects the Specifications, CTV agrees
to make itself available for a "walk through" of its reasons for rejection
during this 30 business day period. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the
total time period for completion of Phase I will not exceed sixty (60)
business days. Either party may elect to review Phase I materials prepared by
Blue Zone or submitted by the other party "on line" in lieu of or in addition
to any in-person "walk through." In the event that the parties cannot reach
agreement on the revised Specifications, either party may terminate the
Agreement with no further liability on either party's part, except for
payments due and payments of amounts owed for costs and expenses incurred to
that date.
             (iii)  Payment Schedule for Phase I. The total consideration to
be paid to Blue Zone by CTV for Phase I is as specified on Schedule G, which
non-refundable amount has been received by Blue Zone from CTV.

      (b)    Phase II.

             (i)    Development of CTV Web Site. Upon successful completion of
Phase I, Blue Zone will then proceed to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to design, build and develop the CTV Web Site in accordance with the
Specifications, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereunder. During the
course of the development, Blue Zone will develop an executable and baseline
architecture; the specification of all important architecture patterns; a
release plan; and a risk assessment plan. Unless otherwise agreed in writing,
Blue Zone will deliver the CTV Web Site for Completion Certification according
to the agreed Test Plan no later than August 31, 2000.

             (ii)   Acquisition of Rights From Third Parties. Except with
respect to the CTV Materials, the CTV Web Site content furnished by CTV, and
any other materials supplied by CTV, for all of which CTV will bear all
responsibility, Blue Zone will be responsible for obtaining all rights and/or
permissions from any third party, if any, subject to approval by CTV which are
necessary for the development and use of the CTV Web Site, subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in third party commercial
software licenses used by Blue Zone in developing and operating the CTV Web
Site.(which are subject to approval by CTV ) CTV shall pay all approved costs
and expenses associated with obtaining these rights and/or permissions within
45 days of receiving Blue Zone's invoice for same.

             (iii)  CTV Acceptance of Content Model. As soon as is practical
after completion of the Specifications applicable to the intended content of
the CTV Web Site and delivery to Blue Zone by CTV of any and all content to be
supplied by CTV, Blue Zone will prepare and present to CTV prototypes or
mockups of the appearance and operation of the CTV Web Site and implementation
and presentation of the intended content (the "Content Model"). CTV will have
ten (10) business days after the date on which CTV receives from Blue Zone a
copy of the proposed Content Model to accept the Content Model, with such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Blue Zone will make
itself available for questions and discussions of the Content Model during
this period. In the event that CTV rejects the Content Model or any portion
thereof, CTV will notify Blue Zone in writing, and will specify its reasons
for such rejection. CTV and

<PAGE>   6

Blue Zone will make itself available for questions and discussions relating to
CTV's rejection during this period. If CTV rejects the Content Model, Blue
Zone will have thirty (30) business days, or such further time as, acting
reasonably, it advises CTV is necessary in light of CTV's reasons for
rejection, in which to prepare and submit a revised Content Model. In this
case the provisions of this Section 2 will apply to such re-submission until
such time as the Content Model is accepted by CTV. In the event the parties
cannot reach an agreement on a revised Content Model, either party may
terminate this Agreement with no further liability on the part of either
party, except for payments of amounts owed to Blue Zone for services provided
and costs and expenses incurred to that date.

             (iv)   Training. During the course of the Phase II development
process and prior to Final Acceptance, Blue Zone will commence training of
approximately 25 (subject to adjustment as the parties may agree) individuals,
who may, with CTV's approval, be CTV employees, in the requirements and
techniques of content production for the CTV Web Site.

             (v)    Personnel Funding/CTV Employees. During Phase II, CTV will
make available funding as specified on Schedule F, for approximately 25
individuals who will be engaged in content production and integration of CTV
Materials. Should Blue Zone and CTV agree that additional personnel will be
necessary, the parties shall agree on the appropriate number of personnel at
CTV's cost. At CTV's sole election, the personnel may be CTV personnel
dedicated to this project. CTV and Blue Zone will agree on the suitable
technology, graphic design, digital video, and/or management experience such
employees must have. CTV will indemnify and hold Blue Zone harmless for any
acts or omissions of CTV's employees whose services are provided in accordance
with this provision provided they are CTV employees. Blue Zone will indemnify
and hold CTV harmless for any acts or omissions of Blue Zone's employees whose
services are provided in accordance with this provision provided they are Blue
Zone employees. Under no circumstances will either party's employees bind the
other party. CTV will instruct any such CTV employees that Blue Zone has full
authority to direct such CTV employees with respect to the activities
contemplated in Sections 2(b)(iv) and (v). Either party will remove any one of
its employees from such training program at the reasonable request of the
other party. CTV may replace any CTV employee in such training program for any
reason; provided, however, that CTV agrees that Blue Zone will not be
responsible for training more than a mutually agreed number of replacement
employees during the course of this Agreement except upon the additional
payment to Blue Zone of an agreed upon training fee per CTV additional
employee who Blue Zone trains pursuant to this Section 2(b)(v). To the extent
that personnel requirements are met through the use of CTV employees, CTV
shall pay those employees directly and the payments CTV makes to those
employees shall be deducted from CTV's payment obligations under this
paragraph. Blue Zone shall not be responsible for withholding or other
required payments with respect to CTV employees acting pursuant to this
paragraph.

             (vi)   Technical Testing and Acceptance.

                    (1)    Test Plan. Blue Zone will develop a test plan in
             consultation with CTV for the purpose of unit testing,
             integration testing and live environment testing of the CTV Web
             Site and determining whether and when the CTV Web Site is
             suitable for Completion Certification (the "Test Plan"). The Test
             Plan will include procedures to be followed in conducting actual
             online testing through Internet access prior to publication of
             the address of the CTV Web Site or public announcement of
             availability of the CTV Web Site and include test scripts for
             each testing level which shall be designed by the parties. The
             Test Plan will be subject to the prior written approval of CTV,
             which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                    (2)    During the development phase Blue Zone will
             periodically conduct preliminary testing in accordance with the
             Test Plan, and will report the results of such completed testing
             to CTV. The parties understand and agree that interim or
             preliminary versions of the CTV Web Site may contain
             Nonconformities which are not detected during preliminary testing
             because of the limited nature of such testing, including the
             facts that (a) a module or incomplete portion may perform
             acceptably on its own, but fail to perform acceptably when
             integrated with other elements of the CTV Web Site or when
             operated in conjunction with hardware or other software with
             which it is intended to operate, and (b) preliminary testing does
             not include live environment testing on real data. Once Blue Zone
             has completed work on the CTV Web Site off-line, it will run the
             agreed upon Test Plan on-line through Internet access prior to
             publication of the address of the CTV Web Site or public
             announcement of availability of the CTV Web Site and will provide
             the CTV Designated Representative with the opportunity to view
             this testing. If for ten (10) consecutive days or a for
             reasonable period of time as the parties may agree (i) the
             completed CTV Web Site reasonably appears to have the
             functionality and performance as set forth in the Specifications;
             (ii) the completed CTV Web Site reasonably appears to perform the
             functions described in the Specifications in the manner
             described; (iii) the completed CTV Web Site reasonably appears to
             be free from material Nonconformities; and (iv) the completed CTV
             Web Site reasonably appears to have no Nonconformities which
             cause operational failure and/or premature termination of
             operation of the CTV Web Site or any component thereof, CTV will
             issue a Completion Certification. If the CTV Web Site does not
             pass the Test Plan, CTV and Blue Zone will confer as to the
             reasons and agree to a schedule for Blue Zone to correct any
             Nonconformities and resubmit the CTV Web Site for testing under
             the Test Plan.

<PAGE>   8

                    (3)    Final Acceptance. Final Acceptance shall be deemed
             to have occurred if CTV issues a Completion Certification. In any
             event, should CTV commence live commercial operation of the CTV
             Web Site, CTV will be deemed to have finally accepted the CTV Web
             Site provided testing is complete and successful in accordance
             with specifications.

                    (4)    Preparation of Corrected Versions. During the
             course of testing and through Final Acceptance, Blue Zone will,
             to the extent practical, diligently prepare Corrected Versions on
             a commercially reasonable basis on a timetable taking into
             account the extent of any changes required to be made by Blue
             Zone to prepare a Corrected Version.

             (vii)  Maintenance and Enhancement. Blue Zone will provide CTV
with the technical and formatting specifications which graphic and other
content submitted for inclusion in the Web Site must meet and will, pursuant
to and subject to the terms of the License granted in Section 5, provide
employees designated by CTV with access to Blue Zone input mechanisms for
adding content to the CTV Web Site and with Blue Zone methodologies for
inputting, integrating and modifying CTV content for the CTV Web Site. Such
access is granted solely for the purpose of permitting CTV employees to use
said mechanisms and methodologies to add CTV Material to or delete it from the
CTV Web Site. All such mechanisms and methodologies are Confidential
Information. Only mutually agreed upon CTV employees who have received
appropriate training in the techniques described in Sections 2(b)(iv) and (v)
shall be given access to such mechanisms and methodologies. Said employees may
not reproduce, modify, divulge, copy, reverse engineer, deal in or transfer
Blue Zone's input, integration, or modification mechanisms or methodologies,
or use them other than as specified herein, or permit others to do so.

             (viii) Payment Schedule for Phase II. The total production fee to
be paid to Blue Zone by CTV for Phase 2 will be as specified on Schedule G, to
be paid by CTV as follows:

             25%    on execution of this Agreement

             10%    on acceptance by CTV of the Content Model

             10%    on delivery of the Specifications and Development Plan

             25%    on delivery of the CTV Web site for testing on-line
                    according to the Test Plan

             30%    on issuance by CTV of the Completion Certification and in
                    no event later than August 31, 2000 provided Blue Zone
                    delivers the CTV Web Site for Completion Certification on
                    this said date, or as mutually agreed.

<PAGE>   9

In addition, CTV will reimburse Blue Zone for all of its reasonable costs and
expenses associated with the development and creation of the CTV Web Site
during Phase II within 45 days after receiving Blue Zone's invoices for such
approved costs and expenses. Blue Zone will provide an estimate of such costs
and expenses as set forth in Schedule C and Schedule F hereto. The actual
costs and expenses may be higher or lower. In respect to the costs as set out
in Schedule C in this Phase II, Blue Zone agrees to provide to CTV a list of
necessary facilities, hardware and software in order to permit CTV an
opportunity to provide any of its own equipment and materials meeting these
requirements to reduce the costs for this Phase II. CTV agrees that any
hardware it provides will be dedicated to the CTV Web Site. Once the hardware
is so located, Blue Zone personnel shall have, unrestricted access to the
hardware during the term of this Agreement and any renewals of the Consulting
Services Contract or Contract for Management and Hosting of the CTV Web Site
set forth in Sections 3 and 4 below. In the event that CTV hardware, software
and/or facilities (hereinafter "Materials")are located at Blue Zone's premises
CTV shall have the right , on notice, to attend the Blue Zone premises to
perform technical maintenance as it sees fit including, without limitation,
the right to update its Materials, replace its servers and Materials, and
repair defects in its hardware and Materials.

             (ix)   Modifications. If CTV requests any modifications to the
Specifications after agreement on the Specifications, CTV will first provide
to Blue Zone notice in writing setting out the particulars of the requested
modifications. Within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of CTV'S
modification notice, Blue Zone, acting reasonably, will notify CTV in writing
of Blue Zone's decision as to whether or not it is willing to perform the
requested modifications and will provide CTV an estimate of the costs and
projected timing to complete the specified modifications. In the event that
Blue Zone is willing to perform the requested modifications, Blue Zone will
commence the requested modifications only upon CTV's approval of Blue Zone's
cost and timing estimate. Blue Zone shall provide any upgrades to its
software(as it becomes generally available to its customers and provided same
is within the reasonable parameters of the Content Model) and shall install
such upgrades provided CTV continues to pay the annual Licence Fee.

Section 3.     Consulting Services

        (a)    CTV hereby engages Blue Zone on an ongoing consulting basis for
a minimum one year term (subject to any early termination by CTV ) to perform
consulting services on a macro-level as described in Schedule D, relating to
developing long-term strategies for updating and enhancing the CTV Web Site.
CTV agrees to pay Blue Zone for these services a non-refundable consulting fee
as specified in Schedule G, plus disbursements as CTV approves, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld (the "Consulting Fee"). The Consulting Fee
will be paid monthly in advance by way of twelve equal installments as
specified in Schedule G, except that the first payment shall include monthly
payments retroactive to October 1, 1999. The consulting services shall be
performed for CTV by Bruce Warren and /or Jamie Ollivier and Blue Zone shall
use

<PAGE>   10

reasonable best efforts to provide the consulting services on a priority basis
to CTV. The consulting services will not include work performed relating to
modifications, as described in Paragraph 2(b)(ix).

        (b)    This Consulting Services provision will be automatically
extended at the end of the first one-year term on a month-to-month basis, and
shall automatically be renewed for successive periods of one month, unless
either party provides the other with at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice of non-renewal.

Section 4.     Management and Hosting of the CTV Web Site

        (a)    CTV hereby engages Blue Zone to provide certain Web hosting
services to CTV described below, in Toronto, Ontario, or such other locations
as the parties may agree. CTV agrees to pay Blue Zone for these Web hosting
services commencing May 1, 2000, and continuing for the term of this
Agreement, at a rate to be agreed upon by the parties after determining the
scope of the required services. The rate to be paid will be Blue Zone's actual
human resources, material, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in performing the
Web hosting services, plus 20%.

        (b)    The Web hosting services provided by Blue Zone hereunder will
not include Internet connectivity from any network hubs or points of presence.
CTV will be solely responsible for obtaining the telecommunications
infrastructure necessary to operate the CTV Web Site. Before retaining any
third parties to perform services with respect to the telecommunications
infrastructure, CTV shall determine that they are mutually acceptable to Blue
Zone.

        (c)    The Web hosting services provided by Blue Zone will not include
any conduct or review of chat rooms, message boards, or compilations of or
responses to e-mails. Should CTV wish to have a third party conduct these
hosting services, it shall notify Blue Zone in writing of the identity of such
third party and provide Blue Zone with contact information for such provider.

        (d)    The Web hosting services to be performed by Blue Zone will

day, seven (7) days per week, including holidays. Blue Zone will use its

such archival backups in a secure, off site location suitable for maintenance

In addition, CTV shall have audit rights to ensure sufficient and proper
archival back-ups. Blue Zone will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent unauthorized access to the physical locations of the computer(s) on
which the CTV Web Site is established, and will use reasonable efforts to
prevent unauthorized electronic access to the CTV Web Site. Blue Zone will
promptly notify CTV in the event of a material breach (or known potential
material breach) of the physical or electronic security, or the operational
integrity, of the CTV Web Site and will promptly take all reasonable
corrective steps. CTV will provide reasonable cooperation with respect to such
corrective steps.

        (e)    Operations Consistent with Internet Technical Standards. Blue
Zone covenants that it will perform its obligations with respect to the CTV
Web Site as described above in a manner consistent with any formal rules or
formal requirements established by InterNIC, the National Science Foundation,
or any other party whose authority to set such rules or requirements is either
established by applicable law or generally accepted within the Internet
community.

        (f)    Blue Zone assumes no control over, accepts no responsibility
for, and will not review the content, ownership, lawfulness, or accuracy of
any content passing to or posted on the CTV Web Site by CTV.

        (g)    Unless CTV or Blue Zone provide the other party with sixty (60)
days prior written notice of termination of the Web hosting and management
services under Section 4 hereof, such services will be automatically renewed
for successive periods of one year.

        (a)    CTV Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, CTV will be the sole and exclusive owner of the CTV Web Site and
all elements thereof including, without limitation, Web Site content, CTV
Material, viewership/usership data and hardware purchased by CTV to operate
and support the Web, and the CTV content processed by Blue Zone (or CTV
employees acting pursuant to paragraph 2(b)(vii)), which will be displayed on
the CTV Web Site, save and except Section 5 (c) (1). Blue Zone assigns to CTV
any interest it may have in the foregoing and waves any moral right therein.

        (b)    Right to Alter Web Site. Blue Zone agrees that while the
License granted hereunder remains in effect, CTV will have the unlimited right
to vary, change, alter, modify, add to or delete any content provided by CTV
for the CTV Web Site provided that all content meets the technical formatting
and other specifications provided by Blue Zone, and that if the License ceases
to remain in effect, CTV shall continue to have these rights but will no
longer have the right to use Blue Zone Intellectual Property to exercise them.

        (c)    Blue Zone Rights.

<PAGE>   12

                    (1)    CTV acknowledges and agrees the CTV Web Site will
             include certain modules, routines, subroutines, programming
             tools, methods, know how, techniques, inputting and content
             integration and modification mechanisms and methodologies and
             other computer software other than Third-Party Commercial Matter
             (as defined below), which were or will be created by Blue Zone or
             other parties prior to, during and after the commencement of work
             hereunder, and, that, in addition, Blue Zone may prepare
             documentation relating to the immediately foregoing items
             (collectively, the "Blue Zone Intellectual Property").
             Accordingly, as between CTV and Blue Zone, Blue Zone will own all
             copyright, trade secret, trademark, patent, and other proprietary
             right in and to the Blue Zone Intellectual Property. CTV agrees
             that unless CTV terminates this agreement for cause, Blue Zone
             shall have the world-wide non-exclusive right to use, reproduce
             and analyze user/viewer data which is processed, gathered or
             otherwise personalized by Blue Zone in connection with the
             development and management by Blue Zone of the CTV Web Site and
             to reproduce, market and distribute such data and analyses
             thereof as permitted by law, in compiled or uncompiled form,
             provided, however, that Blue Zone shall not disclose, transfer,
             license or sell said data or analyses (whether in compiled or
             uncompiled form) to any other Canadian Television Company. If
             Blue Zone wishes to offer said data or analyses in connection
             with an existing or potential CTV-specific advertising
             opportunity, it shall coordinate its efforts with CTV.

                    (2)    CTV further agrees that Blue Zone is and will be
             the owner, with no rights therein of any kind whatsoever in favor
             of CTV, of all Blue Zone Intellectual Property including
             software, documentation, copyrights, trademarks (other than any
             CTV trademark, copyright or patent), back-end trade dress rights,
             patents, trade secrets, methods, know how, formatting
             methodologies, inputting and content integration and modification
             mechanisms and methodologies, techniques, and other intellectual
             property rights relating to the CTV Web Site throughout the
             universe in all languages and in all media and forms of
             expression and communication now known.

                    (3)    Blue Zone Advertising on the CTV Web Site. CTV
             agrees that Blue Zone will have the right at no charge to place
             video advertising of Blue Zone's services on the CTV Web Site at
             locations mutually agreed upon by the parties. Additionally, Blue
             Zone will have the right at no charge to place Blue Zone's
             trademarks or other identity designator as an interactive graphic
             on the CTV Web Site with a hyperlink to Blue Zone's own Web Site,
             and to place the Blue Zone name and other indicators of identity
             on each page of the CTV Web Site in a manner agreed to by CTV.

        (d)  License to CTV.

<PAGE>   13

      (1)    In exchange for the annual fee specified in Schedule G, Blue Zone
grants CTV a non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide License to use the Blue
Zone Intellectual Property (to the extent permitted under any license between
Blue Zone and a third party), but only (i) to process, input, integrate,
modify and display news content as an integrated part of the CTV Web Site.
This License may not be sublicensed or transferred to others or used or
exploited by or on behalf of others. CTV agrees that it does not have any
right to reproduce, modify, reverse engineer, transfer or distribute the Blue
Zone Intellectual Property, or to permit any other party to do so, and further
agrees that it shall have no rights with respects to such Blue Zone
Intellectual Property other than those specified in this paragraph 5(b) and
(d)(1). Should CTV wish to obtain additional licenses to use Blue Zone
Intellectual Property for content other than news, it may do so, provided that
it is not in breach of this Agreement, at the rates specified on Schedule E.
There shall be no additional Licenses or License fees required for local news,
so long as CTV's local news content becomes incorporated as part of the CTV
Web Site. This License shall automatically terminate if Blue Zone terminates
this agreement for cause or if CTV ceases to engage and pay Blue Zone for
hosting and Licensing the Intellectual Property for the CTV Web Site. CTV
shall have the exclusive right to terminate the License on sixty (60) days
written notice to Blue Zone.

                    (2)    During the period of the License, CTV shall use
             Blue Zone's mark NewsBz(TM), or such other trademark as Blue Zone
             specifies in writing, in the manner agreed to between CTV and
             Blue Zone on the CTV Web Site and in promotional materials
             relating to the CTV Web Site. Upon termination of this License
             for any reason, CTV will not be entitled to use or display the
             NewsBz(TM) or other Blue Zone trademarks or indicators of
             identity on or in promotional material about the CTV Web Site.

                    (3)    In the event that CTV terminates or does not renew
             Blue Zone's Web hosting services under Sections 4, the License
             under Section 5(d)(2) will immediately terminate on the
             termination date or renewal date, as the case may be. In that
             event, CTV will be entitled to continue to exercise all rights of
             ownership of the CTV Web Site and over CTV Material that has been
             prepared for display or is displayed on the CTV Web Site using
             the Blue Zone Intellectual Property, but will not be entitled to
             continue to access or use Blue Zone Intellectual Property from
             that date forward.

      (e)    Third-Party Commercial Matter. CTV acknowledges and agrees that
the CTV Web Site may include certain software code, devices and other matter
from commercially available computer software products (collectively the
"Third-Party Commercial Matter") and that nothing in this Agreement conveys
ownership of the Third-Party Commercial Matter to CTV.

<PAGE>   14

      (f)    Discussion of Relationship. Upon execution of this Agreement,
Blue Zone may refer to CTV as client of Blue Zone. After Final Acceptance,
Blue Zone may include a link of CTV's Web Site on Blue Zone's Web Site. If
Blue Zone or CTV receive press inquiries about Blue Zone's work for CTV, the
parties may respond but will each advise the other of the inquiry.

      (g)    Ownership of CTV Materials. As between CTV and Blue Zone, all
right, title and interest in and to, and ownership of the CTV Materials will
remain at all times exclusively in CTV, and Blue Zone will not acquire any
right, title or interest therein.

      (h)    Domain Names.  As between CTV and Blue Zone, all right, title and
interest in and to, and ownership of the domain name "ctvnews.com" will remain
at all times exclusively in CTV.

Section 6.   Indemnification

      (a)    Indemnification by CTV. CTV will indemnify and hold harmless Blue
Zone Productions, Ltd. and/or each of their directors, officers, agents,
employees, advisers and representatives from and against any losses, expenses,
claims, damages or liabilities of whatever nature, joint or several, including
reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses which
said directors, officers, agents, employees, advisers and representatives
incur, whether directly or as a result of claims by third parties, which arise
out of or are based upon:

             (i)    any representation or warranty of CTV made herein not
having been materially true, complete and accurate when made; and

             (ii)   any covenant made herein by CTV (whether in Section 12 or
elsewhere in this Agreement) not having been complied with.

             CTV's obligations to indemnify for Blue Zone Productions, Ltd's
losses under this Agreement will accrue up to a maximum of CAN$Three (3)
million; provided, further, that the foregoing limitations will not apply in
respect of any payment default by CTV.

             (b)    Indemnification by Blue Zone. Blue Zone will indemnify and
hold harmless CTV and each of its directors, officers, agents, employees,
advisers, representatives from and against any losses, expenses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, including reasonable costs of
investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses of legal counsel which
CTV and/or each of its directors, officers, employees, advisers and
representatives incur, whether directly or as a result of claims by third
parties, which arise out of or are based upon:

             (i)    any representation or warranty of Blue Zone made herein
not having been materially true, complete and accurate when made; and

<PAGE>   15

             (ii)   any covenant made herein by Blue Zone (whether in Section
12 or elsewhere in this Agreement) not having been complied with.

             Blue Zone's obligations to indemnify CTV for losses under this
Agreement will accrue up to a maximum liability of the Blue Zone of CAN$ Three
(3) million .

      (c)    Indemnification Procedure. In the case of any claim asserted by a
third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
(the "Indemnified Party"), written notice will be given by the Indemnified
Party to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnitor") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may
be sought, and the Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnitor (at
Indemnitor's expense) to assume the defense of any claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who will
conduct the defense of such claim or litigation will be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's own expense, and (iii)
the omission by any Indemnified Party to give written notice as provided
herein will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under
this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of
actual notice to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor is prejudiced as a result
of such failure to give notice. Except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, will not consent to entry of any judgment or order, interim or
otherwise, or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other
nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim
or litigation. In the event that the Indemnified Party in good faith
determines that the conduct of the defense of any claim subject to
indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any such claim by the
Indemnitor might be expected to affect adversely the Indemnified Party's tax
liability or the ability of the Indemnified Party or any of its subsidiaries
to conduct its business, or that the Indemnified Party may have available to
it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or
more of those that may be available to the Indemnitor in respect of such claim
or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party will have the right
at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement,
negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the
Indemnified Party, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over
and assume control, the Indemnified Party will not settle such claim or
litigation without the written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Indemnitor does not accept the
defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party will have the
full right to defend against any such claim or demand and will be entitled to
settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnitor will still be obliged to provide indemnification to
the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party
will cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this
Section and the records of each will be available to the other with respect to
such defense.

<PAGE>   16

      (d)    Claims of Infringement. In the event that the claim for which
indemnification is sought is a claim that the Indemnified Party has, by reason
of the actions of the Indemnitor, infringed or violated the intellectual
property rights of a third party, the Indemnitor may, at its option, and at
its own expense, (1) procure for the Indemnitee the right to continue using
the allegedly infringing intellectual property, (2) replace or modify the
allegedly infringing intellectual property in response to the infringement
claims, provided the third party acknowledges in writing that the intellectual
property, as modified, no longer infringes on the third-party intellectual
property, or (3) remove the allegedly infringing intellectual property from
the CTV Web Site and provide the Indemnified Party with a commercially
reasonable substitute of substantially similar functionality. In the event
that Indemnitor elects to take the measures set forth in paragraphs 6(d)(1),
(2), or (3), and pays the amount it was otherwise obliged to pay under this
paragraph prior to taking these corrective measures, Indemnitor will have
fully discharged its indemnification obligation with respect to that specific
claim. Alternatively, the Indemnitor may litigate the claim to secure a
determination of non-infringement.
      (e)    Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the parties under
this Section 6 will survive the expiry or termination of this Agreement.

      (f)    Further Limitations on Liability.

             (1)    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN,
                    EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, NEITHER PARTY WILL, UNDER
                    ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR
                    INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS FOR
                    CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING
                    BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS
                    BEEN APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING
                    EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF BLUE
                    ZONE OR THOSE FOR WHOM IT IS LEGALLY RESPONSILBE FOR.

             (2)    SAVE AS PROVIDED HEREIN, BLUE ZONE DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS
                    OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS,
                    INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
                    MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A
                    PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCTS AND THE
                    SERVICES DELIVERED HEREUNDER.

Section 7.   Exclusivity; Option to Expand Relationship

(a)   During the term of this Agreement, or, if the Agreement terminates for
any reason, until the effective date of termination, Blue Zone will not
provide Web Site production or interactive television development services or
intellectual property relating to news to any other Canadian Television
Company, and CTV will not use the services of others to develop or maintain
Web Site or interactive television services or intellectual property relating
to news other than to create content and graphic materials for display on the
CTV Web Site. CTV acknowledges that Blue Zone has existing relationships and
is engaged in ongoing activities with WIC Premium Television, which includes
Superchannel, MovieMax!, and Viewer's Choice; with the following radio
broadcasters: CKNW and Rock 101 (CFMI). Blue Zone acknowledges that CTV has
existing local station web sites at some of it's local stations. Both CTV and
Blue Zone do not deem these activities to be in violation of this Section 7.
      (b)    The parties agree that for six (6) months after the Effective
Date, CTV shall not solicit the services of third parties to develop or
maintain Web site or interactive television services and Blue Zone shall not
affirmatively offer Web site development or maintenance or interactive
television services to any other Canadian Television Company, excluding
non-competitive specialty channels, including, but not-limited to YTV, and
music stations.

      (c)    In the event that at any time within six (6) months of the
Effective Date, Blue Zone desires to develop an interactive television Web
site for a third party Canadian Television Company relating to a subject
matter other than news (the "Proposed Web Site") pursuant to a bona fide offer
from such third party Canadian Television Company (together, with, in the case
of CTV, bona fide offers from third parties to CTV as described in Paragraph
(d) below, the "Proposal"), Blue Zone shall submit a written offer to CTV (the
"Blue Zone Offer") to develop such Proposed Web Site exclusively for CTV on
terms and conditions, including total consideration, not less favorable to CTV
than those on which Blue Zone proposes to develop the Proposed Web Site for
such third party Canadian Television Company under the Proposal. The Blue Zone
Offer shall disclose the identity of the third party Canadian Television
Company, the terms and conditions, including the total consideration, of the
Proposal, and any other material facts relating to the Proposal. CTV agrees to
treat all such information submitted to it by Blue Zone as Confidential
Information. The Blue Zone Offer shall further state that CTV may acquire the
right to have Blue Zone develop the Proposed Web Site exclusively for CTV for
the price, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth therein. The annual
license fee component associated with each new Proposed Web Site shall be as
set forth in Schedule E. If CTV desires to acquire such right, CTV shall
communicate in writing its election to do so within thirty (30) days of the
date on which the Blue Zone Offer was made. Such communication shall, when
taken in conjunction with the Blue Zone Offer, be deemed to constitute a
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the development by Blue
Zone of the Proposed Web Site for CTV. If CTV does not elect to enter into an
agreement with Blue Zone for the development of the Proposed Web Site, Blue
Zone at any time thereafter may enter into an agreement with the third party
Canadian Television Company regarding the development of Proposed Web Site.

<PAGE>   18

      (d)    In the event that at any time within six (6) months of the
Effective Date, CTV desires to engage a third party other than Blue Zone to
develop a Proposed Web Site pursuant to a Proposal, CTV shall submit a written
offer to Blue Zone (the "CTV Offer") to engage Blue Zone to develop such
Proposed Web Site exclusively for CTV on terms and conditions, including total
consideration not less favorable to Blue Zone than those on which CTV proposes
to have such third party develop the Proposed Web Site for CTV. The CTV Offer
shall disclose the identity of the third party, the terms and conditions,
including the total consideration, of the Proposal, and any other material
facts relating to the Proposal. Blue Zone agrees to treat all such information
submitted to it by Blue Zone as Confidential Information. The CTV Offer shall
further state that Blue Zone may acquire the right to have CTV engage Blue
Zone to develop the Proposed Web Site for the price, and upon the terms and
conditions, set forth therein. If Blue Zone desires to acquire such right,
Blue Zone shall communicate in writing its election to do so within thirty
(30) days of the date on which the CTV Offer was made. Such communication
shall, when taken in conjunction with the CTV Offer, be deemed to constitute a
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the development by Blue
Zone of the Proposed Web Site for CTV. If Blue Zone does not elect to enter
into an agreement with CTV for the development of the Proposed Web Site, CTV
at any time thereafter may enter an agreement with a third party regarding the
development of the Proposed Web Site.

Section 8.   Credit Clause

             CTV's Web Site and all on-air, online and print
promotions/advertising of the CTV Web Site will contain Blue Zone's NewsBz(TM)

manner specified by Blue Zone where CTV, acting reasonably, determine that use
of said trademark is appropriate.

Section 9.   Compensation

representatives or through an accounting firm

selected and paid by CTV. Any such review of Blue Zone's records will be
conducted at reasonable times during business hours upon at least three (3)
business days' notice.

Section 10.  Confidentiality

        (a)  Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" will mean any information or material which offers
a competitive advantage to the disclosing party, is not generally known other
than by the disclosing party, and is the subject of reasonable precautions by
the disclosing party to maintain secrecy. Confidential Information also
includes any information which the disclosing party obtains from any third
party which the disclosing party treats as Confidential Information or
designates in writing as Confidential Information, whether or not owned by the
disclosing party. To the extent practical, the disclosing party shall
designate Confidential Information as such in writing. "Confidential
Information" does not include the following: (i) information which is known by
the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party which is
not subject to any other non-disclosure agreement between the parties; (ii)
information which is now, or which hereafter becomes, generally known to the
industry through no fault of the receiving party, or which is later published
or generally disclosed to the public by the disclosing party or others not
under a duty of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or (iii) information
which is otherwise lawfully developed by the receiving party, or lawfully
acquired from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality.

        (b)  Non-Disclosure. The receiving party agrees to hold in confidence
and not to disclose or reveal to any person or entity any Confidential
Information disclosed hereunder without the express prior written consent of a
duly authorized representative of the disclosing party. The receiving party
further agrees not to use or disclose any of the Confidential Information for
any purpose at any time, other than for the limited purpose(s) of this
Agreement. Each representative of the receiving party who is given access to
Confidential Information will execute an agreement to be bound by these
obligations. In the event that either party is subpoenaed or otherwise
directed to disclose any portion of any Confidential Information of the other
party or any other materials proprietary to the other party in conjunction
with a judicial proceeding or arbitration, the party so directed will
immediately notify the other party both orally and in writing. Each party
agrees to provide the other with reasonable cooperation and assistance in
obtaining a suitable protective order and in taking any other reasonable steps
to preserve confidentiality.

        (c)  Published Reports. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the parties specifically agree that any reports concerning
Confidential Information which are not made or authorized by the disclosing
party and which appear in any publication shall not release the receiving
party from its obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential
Information.
