Dear Ms. Carey:

This will confirm the basis upon which SurfNet Media Group, Inc. has engaged
you, on a nonexclusive basis, to provide advisory services to SurfNet regarding
(i) improving advertising, sales and marketing efforts, (ii) identifying,
consummating and implementing relationships with potential customers and
partners, (iii) editing website content, brochures and other material, and (iv)
recruiting qualified personnel. Subject to the conditions described below, you
will be available to provide such services to SurfNet on a part-time basis
through February 2005 (the "Term").

Section 1. Services to be Rendered.

You will perform the following services (the "Services"):

        1. Gain familiarity with the business, technology, products, operations,
           financial condition and prospects of SurfNet; and

        2. Assist SurfNet in (i) improving advertising, sales and marketing
           efforts, (ii) identifying, consummating and implementing relationships
           with potential customers and partners, (iii) editing website content,
           brochures and other material, and (iv) recruiting qualified personnel.

You will determine the method, details and means of performing the Services.

SurfNet will furnish you with such information as you reasonably request in
connection with the performance of the Services (all such information so
furnished is referred to herein as the "Information"). In performing the
Services, you may use the Information as well as publicly available information
regarding SurfNet and assume and rely upon the accuracy and completeness of all
such information. With respect to any financial forecasts and projections made
available to you by SurfNet and used by you in performing the Services, you will
be entitled to assume that such forecasts and projections have been reasonably
prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and
judgments of the management of SurfNet as to the matters covered thereby.

Section 2. Fees.

                                       1

SurfNet will compensate you for performance of the Services a fee of twenty
thousand dollars ($20,000) (the "Aggregate Consideration") per annum, payable
through the issuance of shares of common stock of SurfNet (the "Shares")
reserved for issuance under SurfNet's Stock Plan and registered on Form S-8. For
purposes of calculating Aggregate Consideration through February 2005, the value
of the Shares will be determined as of the date hereof, on the basis of the
closing bid price on the OTCBB as of the date hereof.

Section 3. Expenses.

In addition to any fees that may be payable to you hereunder and regardless of
whether any Transaction is proposed or consummated, SurfNet hereby agrees, from
time to time upon request, to reimburse you for reasonable travel and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. Any fees
and/or disbursements individually or in the aggregate in excess of one hundred
dollars ($100.00) per month must be approved in advance by the written consent
of a duly authorized SurfNet officer.

Section 4. Office Space and Support Staff.

You will be responsible for supplying her own office space but may perform
Services under this Agreement on SurfNet's premises at SurfNet's request. You
will be responsible for supplying her own office support staff, if any. Any and
all personnel hired by you, as employees, consultants, agents or otherwise
(collectively "Staff") shall be the responsibility of you. You will inform all
Staff in writing at the time that such Staff are hired by you that such Staff
are not employees of SurfNet and that SurfNet has no present or future
obligation to employ such Staff or provide such Staff with any compensation
and/or employment benefits. You will be solely responsible for the acts of such
Staff and the Staff will conduct their activities at your risk, expense and
supervision. You warrant and covenant that the Staff shall be subject to all of
the obligations applying to you pursuant to this Agreement and that each member
of the Staff shall execute a copy of this Agreement.

Section 5. Status.

On and after the Effective Date, you and her Staff, if any, shall at all times
be and be deemed to be independent contractors of SurfNet. Neither you nor any
of her Staff is an employee or agent of SurfNet for any purpose whatsoever, and
shall not be entitled to paid vacation days, sick days, holidays or any other
benefits provided to SurfNet employees. You agree that no income, social
security or other taxes or amounts shall be withheld or accrued by SurfNet for
your benefit or for the benefit of her Staff and no statutory insurance shall be
written by SurfNet on behalf of you or the employees of you. Neither you nor any
of her Staff shall, under any circumstances, have any authority to act for or to
bind SurfNet or to sign the name of SurfNet or to otherwise represent that
SurfNet is in any way responsible for her acts or omissions. Neither you nor her
Staff has or have any authority to create any contract or obligation, express or

                                       2

implied, on behalf of, in the name of, or binding upon SurfNet. It is
anticipated that you will perform services as an independent contractor,
employee, officer or director for parties other than SurfNet during the Term.

Section 6. Scope of Responsibility.

Neither you nor any of your affiliates (nor any of their respective control
persons, directors, officers, employees or agents) will be liable to SurfNet or
to any other person claiming through SurfNet for any claim, loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense suffered by SurfNet or any such other person arising
out of or related to your engagement hereunder except for a claim, loss or
expense that arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon any action or
failure to act by you, other than an action or failure to act undertaken at the
request or with the consent of SurfNet, that is found in a final judicial
determination (or a settlement tantamount thereto) to constitute bad faith,
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of you.

Section 7. Termination of Engagement.

Your engagement hereunder may be terminated by either SurfNet or you at any
time, with or without cause, upon written notice to that effect to you party.

Section 8. Confidentiality.

SurfNet will be revealing to you certain proprietary information which might
include, without limitation, information pertaining to proprietary software
applications, acquisition targets, business operations and integration
strategies, capital structure, financing sources, and sales and marketing
strategies, from which SurfNet might derive economic value, actual or potential,
from such information not being generally known to, and not being readily
ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value
from its disclosure or use, and which is the subject of efforts that are
reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. This proprietary
information is hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Protected
Information." As a condition to SurfNet sharing with you, whether in writing or
orally, any Protected Information, you hereby acknowledge and agree with SurfNet
as follows:

        (a) The Protected Information, whether now or hereafter furnished to you
            in whole or in part, is confidential.

        (b) SurfNet's business and prospects could be damaged if its Protected
            Information is disclosed to third parties without SurfNet's consent.

        (c) You will keep confidential and refrain from disclosing or divulging to
            any person SurfNet's Protected Information without SurfNet's prior
            written consent (other than disclosures to your agents,
            representatives or employees who will be bound by the terms of this
            Agreement and advised that SurfNet's Protected Information must be
            treated as confidential).

                                       3

        (d) You will not use SurfNet's Protected Information (nor permit the use
            thereof) in a manner or for a purpose detrimental to SurfNet's
            business.

Your obligation of confidentiality with respect to Protected Information which
constitutes trade secrets under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (or other similar
applicable law) shall run for as long as such information remains a trade
secret. Your obligation of confidentiality with respect to Protected Information
that is not covered under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (or other similar
applicable law), shall run for three (3) years from the date we terminate our
relationship.

Wrongful disclosure or use of Protected Information in contravention of the
provisions of this Agreement will give rise to irreparable injuries not
adequately compensable in damages. In the event that preliminary injunctive
relief to maintain the status quo is required, such relief may be sought by
SurfNet from any court of competent jurisdiction, and you agree to be bound by
any and all orders rendered by such court.

Section 9. Compulsory Arbitration.

Except as provided in Section 8, any controversy, claim and/or dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof or subject matter
hereof (including any action in tort) will be finally and fully settled by
arbitration in Maricopa County, Arizona in accordance with the then-existing
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
"AAA"), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered
in any court having applicable jurisdiction. Written notice of demand for
arbitration will be given to the other parties and to the AAA within six (6)
months after the controversy, claim or dispute has arisen or be barred, and in
no event after the date when the institution of court proceedings based on such
dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Controversies,
claims and/or disputes will be resolved by one arbitrator selected by the mutual
agreement of the parties or, failing that agreement within forty-five (45) days
after written notice demanding arbitration, by the AAA. There will be limited
discovery prior to the arbitration hearing as follows: (i) exchange of witness
lists and copies of documentary evidence and documents related to or arising out
of the issues to be arbitrated, and (ii) depositions of all Party witnesses.
Depositions will be conducted in accordance with the rules or code of Civil
Procedure of the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is conducted, and a court
reporter will record all hearings, with such record constituting the official
transcript of such proceedings. All decisions of the arbitrator will be in
writing, and the arbitrator will provide reasons for the decision. Each party
will bear its own respective attorney's fees and costs in accordance with any
dispute or arbitration.

Section 10. Governing Law: Jurisdiction.

                                       4

This Agreement will be deemed to have been executed in the State of Arizona and
will be governed and construed as to both substantive and procedural matters in
accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, but excepting (i) any State of
Arizona rule which would result in judicial failure to enforce the arbitration
provisions hereof or any portion thereof and (ii) any State of Arizona rule
which would result in the application of the law of a jurisdiction other than
the State of Arizona. Any dispute arising from this Agreement must be filed in
the county in which the principal office of SurfNet is located.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to obligate or commit you or any of your
affiliates to provide any services other than as set out above. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which together will be
considered a single instrument. This Agreement, together with the Stock Escrow
Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (both
written and oral) of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and cannot be amended or otherwise modified except in writing executed
by the parties hereto. The provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of SurfNet. You may not assign your
obligations or rights pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written
consent of SurfNet. No failure or delay by SurfNet in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Section 12. Legal Counsel

You have been advised that the party who drafted this Agreement on behalf of
SurfNet is a licensed attorney, that he is representing SurfNet's interests only
and that you have been urged to retain legal counsel to advise you.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign and return the attached

SurfNet's Board of Directors.
