<PAGE>

                        HEALTHCOMPASS SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS IS AN AGREEMENT ("Agreement") entered into on February 16, 2000 (the
"Effective Date") by and between [THEHEALTHCHANNEL], a Delaware corporation with
offices located at 3101 West Coast Hightway, Suite 175, newport Beach, CA 92663
(the "Licensee") and HealthMagic, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices
located at 1901 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201 ("HealthMagic" or
"HMI"), by which HealthMagic agrees to license certain proprietary software and
other materials to Licensee on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

In consideration of the obligations stated in this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration received by each of the parties, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

PART I.  PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT; DEFINITIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

     HealthMagic is a corporation engaged in developing, marketing and providing
innovative Internet-enabled health information technology systems and
applications including, without limitation, HealthCompass (as further defined
below). Licensee is a corporation engaged in the provision of internet-based
healthcare information, products and services, including through its main
portal, THEHEALTHCHANNEL.COM. The parties have entered into this Agreement to
set forth the terms and conditions on which: (i) HMI will grant Licensee the
right to establish links to HealthCompass from Licensee Web Sites (as defined
below); (ii) HMI will host HealthCompass; and (iii) HMI will grant Licensee the
right to use certain software tools.

2.   DEFINITIONS

     Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given
below or in the context in which the term is used, as the case may be.

A. "Affiliate" shall mean, with respect to a party to this Agreement, any entity
that directly or indirectly controls, or is under common control with, or is
controlled by, such party. As used above, "control" (including, with its
correlative meanings, "controlled by" and "under common control with") means
possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or
partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise).

B. "Certifying Authority" shall mean HMI or such other trusted third-party
central administrator: (i) willing to verify the identities of those to whom it
issues certificates and their association with a given key; (ii) that have a
trustworthy public key (that is either publicized or provided with a certificate
from a higher level Certifying Authority attesting to the validity of its public
key); (iii) whose subject identification requirements engender a high level of
confidence to the certified name-key binding; and (iv) that are capable of
issuing Digital Certificates (including, without limitation, signing the Digital
Certificate) to authenticate the binding between the subject (end user's) name
and the subject's public key.

C. "Compass Man Design" shall have the meaning specified in Part II.2.A(1).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Page 2

D. "Digital Certificate" shall mean a digital certificate as defined by the
International Telecommunications Union ("ITU-T") X.509 standard, version 3. As a
general matter, a Digital Certificate: (i) is a document attesting to the
binding of a public key to an individual or other entity; (ii) enables the
verification of a claim that a specific public key does in fact belong to a
specific individual; and (iii) contains information including version, serial
number, signature algorithm ID, issuer name (i.e., the Certifying Authority that
issued the Digital Certificate), validity period, subject (user) name, subject
public-key information, issuer unique identifier, subject unique identifier,
extensions and the signature of the Certifying Authority that issued the Digital
Certificate on the foregoing. Digital Certificates are stored on the subject's
(end user's) computer.

E. "End User" shall mean an individual who has a unique HealthCompass account
number/registration number combination and whose personal health information is
stored in, or capable of being stored in, HealthCompass. As applied: (i) the
same individual may be assigned multiple unique account number/registration
number combinations, and thus would be counted as a separate End User for each
such unique combination (i.e., a member with 5 records constitutes 5 End Users);
and (ii) in the case of a family, each family member may have the same account
number but the registration number for each such family member would be
different.

F. "End-User Data" shall mean the information provided by End Users or on behalf
of End Users, with their authorization, in the process of using HealthCompass.
Ownership of End-User Data shall, as between HMI and Licensee, be and remain
with the End User and shall in no way be altered by this Agreement.

G. "Engaging Applications" shall mean applications designed to engage an end
user in the management of his or her health and which are complimentary to,
utilize, or interact with HealthCompass (e.g., by providing data or other input
to HealthCompass, or using data or other output generated by HealthCompass).
EXHIBIT A to this Agreement lists the Engaging Applications being provided by
HMI to Licensee (the "HMI Engaging Applications"). As specified in EXHIBIT A,
HMI Engaging Applications either (i) reside on HMI servers and are accessible
from HealthCompass Enabled Sites (as defined in Part I.2.H) or (ii) are provided
to Licensee in run-time/executable form only for installation on Licensee
servers. HMI Engaging Applications are inclusive of any accompanying
documentation. HMI Engaging Applications include any and all Updates, Releases,
new Versions, modifications or derivative works of the HMI Engaging Applications
produced by HMI or on HMI's behalf and provided to Licensee.

H. "HealthCompass" shall mean HMI's proprietary Personal Medical Record
consisting of: (i) HMI proprietary interactive Internet-enabled pages which
reside on HMI servers, that are accessible from HMI licensed web sites
containing links to such pages through a digital certification process
("HealthCompass Enabled Sites") and containing functionality enabling end users
to retrieve, document, track and populate their own personal health information
in a secure fashion from any HealthCompass Enabled Site; and (ii) HMI's
proprietary database or "Repository", housed on HMI's servers, that stores each
End User's Health Vectors. HealthCompass includes any and all Updates, Releases,
new Versions, modifications or derivative works of HealthCompass produced by HMI
or on HMI's behalf and provided to Licensee. HealthCompass is inclusive of any
accompanying documentation.

I. "HealthMagic Content" shall mean content for Internet-enabled pages provided
to Licensee under license by HealthMagic including HealthCompass pages and any
HMI Engaging Application pages.

J. "HealthQuery" shall mean an HMI proprietary XML-based application programmer
interface or "API" to the Repository. HealthQuery includes any and all Updates,
Releases, new Versions, modifications or derivative works of HealthQuery
produced by HMI or on HMI's behalf and provided to Licensee. HealthQuery is
inclusive of any accompanying documentation.

K. "Health Vectors" shall mean, for any particular HealthCompass End User,
collections of health-related data that profiles such End User in his or her
role as a health care consumer which data is generated through the use of the
Health Vector software embedded in HealthCompass. Different kinds of Health
Vectors include, but are not limited to: (i) health and illness data (e.g.,
health status, symptoms, important diagnoses, most recent encounters,
medications, recent treatments); (ii) interests and needs data (i.e.,
information used and requested by the End User); (iii) demographic data (e.g.,
name, mailing address, gender, age, race); (iv) registration data (e.g., plan
identification, member identification and enrollment information); and (v)
transaction data (i.e., a summary of the transactions encountered within the
service by the End User).

L. "Health Vectors Tool" shall mean certain HMI proprietary technology which
enables the tailoring of user/computer interactions based on the End User's
profile. As of the Effective Date the profile includes age, gender and health
interests but the Health Vectors Tool is architected to profile many different
dimensions each called a vector. Based on the specific health profile that is
comprised of various health data, screens are assembled that contain articles,
weblinks and preventive guidelines tailored to the individual for various
sections of a web service. Software deliverables include: (i) Content Attribute
Studio; (ii) Active X DLL that represents the application; (iii) Health Vector
Publisher; and (iv) the associated data base schema. The Health Vectors Tool is
provided in run-time/executable form only and is inclusive of any accompanying
documentation. The Health Vectors Tool includes any Updates, Releases, new
Versions, modifications or derivative works of the Health Vectors Tool produced
by HMI or on HMI's behalf and provided to Licensee.

M. "HMI Materials" shall mean HealthCompass, HMI Engaging Applications,

HealthCompass Web Site (each such web site a "Co-Branded HealthCompass Web
Site"); and (iii) any web sites of institutional clients of Licensee into which
Licensee has, in the capacity of a content supplier, licensed access to
HealthCompass and/or any HMI Engaging Applications under a private label
strategy (each such web site a "Privately Labeled HealthCompass Web Site").

Q. "Payment Period" shall have the meaning specified in Part IV.2.

R. "Personal Medical Record" shall mean an electronic repository or database
designed to store, on a long-term basis, an individual's personal health
information (including, without limitation, the health records maintained by
providers, health plans, laboratories, nursing homes, home care enterprises,
etc., as

<PAGE>

well as summaries of such information) and with or without a user interface that
enables the population, maintenance, display and reporting of such information.

S. "Public Sites" shall mean Licensee Web Sites which are not Sponsored Sites.

T. "Release Number" shall mean the second decimal place in the number assigned
to any software by the supplier of such software (e.g., the Release Number of
XYZ 6.1.23 would be 1). A new "Release" means a software upgrade that adds new
features, corrects bugs or defects and in which the Release Number is
incremented while the Version Number remains unchanged (e.g., XYZ 6.2.0 would be
a new Release as compared to XYZ 6.1.23).

U. "Sponsored Sites" shall mean Licensee Web Sites which are sponsored by a
health plan, integrated delivery system, health club or any other web site that
has a closed membership or a defined population.

V. "Update Number" shall mean the third decimal place in the number assigned to

6.2.23 would be 23). A new "Update" means a software upgrade that provides bug
fixes or other minor corrections in which the Version Number and Release Number
remain unchanged and, if the number assigned to the software by the supplier,
the Update Number is incremented (e.g., XYZ 6.1.24 would be a New Update as
compared to XYZ 6.2.23).

W. "Version Number" shall mean the first decimal place in the number assigned to
any software by the supplier of such software (e.g., the Version number of XYZ
6.2.23 would be 6). A new "Version" means a major software upgrade that adds
substantial new features or other significant changes in which the Version
Number is incremented (e.g., XYZ 7.0.0 would be a new Version as compared to XYZ
6.2.23).

contained in this Agreement. Licensee is not granted the right to distribute
HealthCompass (or HMI server based HMI Engaging Applications) other than linked
through the Licensee Web Sites.

          a) HMI shall be given the same access to the Licensee Web Sites as is
generally given to the End Users of such web sites.

          b) HMI shall have the right to modify any aspect of HealthCompass (or
HMI server based HMI Engaging Applications) including, but not limited to,
structure, content or operation so long

<PAGE>
Page 5

as substantially the same, or substantially similar, functionality is
maintained, provided however, that with respect to any such modification that
would reasonably be deemed to be significant, HMI shall provide prior notice of
same to Licensee, which such notice HMI shall endeavor to provide at least
ninety (90) days prior to distributing such modification, and Licensee shall
upon receipt of such notice have a bona fide opportunity to review and comment
on any such modification.

          c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensee agrees not
to modify, amend, reduce the size of or in any way obliterate any warnings,
notices, liability limitations, or other license provisions which are contained
in HealthCompass or the HMI Engaging Applications. In addition, Licensee shall
not, without HMI's prior written consent, remove from any Licensee Web Site any

HealthCompass, HealthQuery or the Health Vectors Tool.

          a) In consideration of the revenue sharing model set forth in Part
IV.3, Licensee shall grant to HMI a perpetual, nonexclusive, nontransferable,
world-wide right and license to copy, reproduce, modify, translate and
distribute (including sublicensing and marketing) copies of, and to prepare,
have prepared, derivative works of, and to perform, display and use Licensee
Applications for HMI's internal use and in conjunction with HealthCompass;
provided that HMI shall not be permitted to provide access to, or use of, any of
Licensee Applications licensed to HMI to HMI's other clients for a six (6) month
period beginning on the date such Licensee Applications were initially licensed
to HMI. Such licenses, if any, will include any and all Updates, Releases and
new Versions of such Licensee Applications that may be provided to HMI from time
to time. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN PART II.1.A(2)b) and Part V.2,
LICENSEE IS PROVIDING ANY SUCH LICENSEE APPLICATIONS SOLELY ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS.

          b) Licensee warrants that the Licensee Components contained in the
Licensee Applications licensed to HMI shall not, at the time of licensing to
HMI, infringe any third party copyrights, patents or trademarks or
misappropriate any trade secrets rights of a third party. If a third party
brings an action against HMI making allegations which, if true, would constitute
a breach of this warranty, or if Licensee anticipates such an action, Licensee
shall have the option, at its expense, to: (i) modify the License Application to
be noninfringing; or (ii) obtain for HMI a license to continue using the
Licensee Application. This Part II.1.A(2)b) and Part VI.1.A state Licensee's
entire obligation to HMI and HMI's sole remedy with respect to any claim of
intellectual property infringement for Licensee Applications.

Licensed Activities in a style or size of print distinguishing it from
accompanying wording or text. Licensee will display the symbol "TM" to the right
and slightly above the last letter of the HMI Marks identified by HMI as
requiring a "TM" when displayed on promotional and other materials used in
advertising and rendering the Licensed Activities.

     (3) Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the license to use the HMI
Marks granted by Part II.2.A(1) of this Agreement may not be assigned or
otherwise transferred by Licensee. HMI does not grant, and nothing in this
Agreement will be construed as granting, Licensee the right to license,
sublicense or authorize others to use the HMI Marks.

B.   QUALITY CONTROL.

     (1) Licensee's use of the HMI Marks and the nature and quality of the
Licensed Activities promoted and marketed by Licensee under the HMI Marks will
at all times comply with HMI's written standards and specifications attached
hereto as EXHIBIT D (and including as such standards and specifications are
revised by HMI from time-to-time upon written notice to Licensee). Licensee
shall be permitted a reasonable period of time to bring its use of the HMI Marks
into conformance with any changes in such standards and specifications. Licensee
will permit HMI to reasonably inspect any materials used by Licensee in the
promotion and marketing of the Licensed Activities under the HMI Marks and all
other records relating to the quality of such activities.

     (2) Licensee will provide HMI with "proofs" or draft "web pages" of all
materials used in the identification and or promotion of the Licensed Activities
under the HMI Marks for approval by HMI prior to their use which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Materials used in the identification
and/or promotion of the Licensed Activities will include, but are not limited
to, business cards, stationery, letterhead, web pages and promotional materials.

     (3) If HMI notifies Licensee in writing that the Licensed Activities and/or
any materials used by Licensee in the promotion and marketing of the Licensed
Activities do not meet the quality standards of HMI as reasonably determined by
HMI, Licensee will cease use the HMI Marks in any manner or in connection with
the Licensed Activities and materials in question. If, within sixty (60) days
after receiving the above written notification from HMI, Licensee cures or
otherwise corrects to HMI's reasonable satisfaction the failure to meet the
quality standards of HMI, Licensee will be entitled to resume its use of the HMI
Marks in connection with the promotion and marketing of the Licensed Activities.

C.   TRADEMARK OWNERSHIP.

     (1) Licensee acknowledges that, as between HMI and Licensee, HMI's rights

lawfully be used only with the express license or consent of HMI. Specifically,
as between HMI and Licensee, Licensee acknowledges HMI's common law rights in
the HMI Marks. Licensee will not at anytime do, or cause to be done any act or
thing contesting or in any way impairing or intending to impair the validity of
and/or HMI's rights, title and interest in and to the HMI Marks.

     (2) Licensee will not in any manner represent that it owns the HMI Marks.
Licensee will not register or apply to register the HMI Marks either alone or in
combination with any other word(s) and/or design(s), in any country, state or
jurisdiction.

     (3) Licensee acknowledges that its use of the HMI Marks will not create any
rights, title, or interest in or to said mark in Licensee's favor, but that all
use of the HMI Marks by Licensee will inure to the benefit of HMI.

D. HMI MARKS IN LICENSEE WEB SITES. Subject to the other provisions of this Part
II.2, Licensee agrees to place a HealthMagic logo (in the form of the Compass
Man Design at least 100x70 pixels in size) on all pages on the Licensee Web
Sites containing HealthMagic Content.

rights (collectively, "IP Rights") owned or controlled by HMI and HMI shall
continue to be the sole owner of all IP Rights in and to the HMI Materials,
including, without limitation, any derivative works of the HMI Materials
produced by HMI or on HMI's behalf. Licensee agrees that it will provide all
reasonable cooperation and assistance to HMI, at HMI's expense, in taking any
action necessary or appropriate to establish, confirm and defend HMI's IP
Rights, including, without limitation, (i) transferring and assigning to HMI any
rights, title and interest that Licensee may have in and to the HMI Materials

assistance to Licensee, at Licensee's expense, in taking any action necessary or
appropriate to establish, confirm and defend Licensee's IP Rights, including,
without limitation, (i) transferring and assigning to Licensee any rights, title

4.   NONCOMPETITION

A. Within the United States and within any other country in which HMI does
business and/or in which HealthCompass (or any portion thereof) is marketed
and/or licensed, Licensee shall not, outside of this Agreement or any other
agreement with HMI: (i) develop itself, contract for the creation of on its
behalf, or represent that it has any product(s) or service(s) that duplicate to
any significant degree the functionality of HealthCompass; (ii) support or
distribute any such products(s) or service(s); or (iii) enter into or maintain
contractual relationships with third parties under which a material portion of
the revenue Licensee receives pursuant to such relationships derives from the
sale or license by such third parties of any such product(s) or service(s).

B. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants placed on
such party in this Part II.4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the other party and that any violation of such
restrictive covenants will result in irreparable injury to the other party. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives any right to challenge or otherwise attempt to
invalidate any of the restrictive covenants that such party is subject to, or
any part(s) thereof. Each party agrees that, in the event it violates any of the
restrictive covenants to which it is subject, the other party shall be entitled
to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as an equitable
accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such
violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights
or remedies to which such other party may be entitled at law or in equity. If it
is determined that

<PAGE>
Page 9

any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Part II.4, or any part(s)
thereof, are illegal or unenforceable, it is the parties' intent that the scope
of the covenant be reduced to conform to the requirements of law.

C. For so long as Licensee continues to use any of the HMI Materials, Licensee's
obligation under this Part II.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
for any reason.

     Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, HMI and Licensee shall commence
(or continue as the case may be) good faith discussions and cooperate towards
producing a mutually agreed upon document specifying the requirements for
setting up HealthCompass for Licensee (the "Release Definition"). HMI and
Licensee shall each perform the tasks required of it by the Release Definition
(with HMI's tasks referred to herein as the "Set-Up Services"). HMI shall be
responsible for overall management of setting HealthCompass up for Licensee and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the agreed upon schedule
for final completion, and to identify and resolve, or assist Licensee in the
resolution of, any problems encountered in the timely completion of each task. A

for the HMI Materials ("Maintenance and Support Services"). Maintenance and
Support Services will be provided by HMI on the terms set forth in EXHIBIT B.

3.   HEALTHCOMPASS HOSTING.

     HealthMagic will provide Licensee with services for hosting of
HealthCompass on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet (the "Hosting
Services"). HealthCompass will provide the Hosting Services so that
HealthCompass is accessible from the Licensee Web Sites via the World Wide Web
portion of the Internet twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week,
except for scheduled maintenance and required repairs, and except for any loss
or interruption due to causes beyond HMI's control or which are not reasonably

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

1.   SET-UP AND MAINTENANCE FEES

A.   As compensation for the Set-Up Services, Licensee shall pay HMI, via wire
transfer to an account designated by HMI, and within fifteen (15) days after the
Effective Date, a one-time fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).

<PAGE>
Page 10

2.   LICENSE FEES

A. There will be no additional license fees for the terms of this contract.

B. With respect to each Payment Period during the Term, HMI shall be entitled to
additional fees ("Additional Fees") for such Payment Period pursuant to the
revenue sharing provisions set forth in EXHIBIT E.

C. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advertise, promote and
market HealthCompass to its End-Users and potential customers.

3.   LICENSEE APPLICATIONS

     The gross revenues, if any, generated by either party through any Licensee
Application created by Licensee using HealthQuery or the Health Vectors Tool
shall be shared equally between Licensee and HMI. If and to the extent revenues
generated by such a Licensee Application are subject to sharing pursuant to this
Part IV.3 and also subject to any of the revenue sharing provisions in Part
IV.2, such revenues shall be shared pursuant to the applicable revenue sharing
provisions in Part IV.2, with the sharing of any revenues generated by such
Licensee Applications which are not subject to any of the revenue sharing
provisions in Part IV.2 being determined by this Part IV.3.

4.   AUDITS

     For three (3) years after the close of each Payment Period, Licensee shall
keep full and accurate books of accounts and copies of all documents and other
material necessary to calculate amounts due HMI pursuant to Part IV.2 and shall
make such books of accounts, documents and other materials available for
inspection by HMI upon HMI's reasonable notice and during normal business hours.
In the event such inspection reveals any underpayments in Licensee's payment
obligations and, taking into account any overpayments uncovered by the
inspection, the aggregate amount actually paid to HMI is less than the aggregate
amount due to HMI (the difference between such amounts hereinafter referred to
as the "Underpayment Amount"), Licensee will promptly pay to HMI the
Underpayment Amount plus interest calculated at the lower of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or the highest interest rate permitted by law on the
Underpayment Amount, from the date of underpayment by Licensee until the date
HMI is paid the Underpayment Amount. In addition, if the Underpayment Amount
exceeds five percent (5%) of the amount due to HMI, Licensee will reimburse HMI
for its reasonable audit and inspection costs.

upon the net income of HMI.

6.   PAYMENT DUE

     All amounts payable to HMI under this Agreement are to be paid in US
Dollars by wire transfer to an account designated by HMI. Such amounts shall be
due and payable in full in accordance with the time periods specified in this
Agreement for such amounts or, if no time period is specified, within fifteen
(15) days of the date Licensee receives an invoice from HMI for such amounts.
Any payment not made by Licensee when due under this Agreement will be subject
to interest from the date such payment was due through the date paid, at an
annual rate of two percent (2%) over the prevailing prime interest rate as fixed
and published in the Wall Street Journal in effect as of the date on which such
payment should have been paid to HMI. If any payment (and/or applicable
interest) remains unpaid for more than forty-five (45) days after the date due,
HMI may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Licensee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART V.  WARRANTIES

1.   HMI WARRANTIES

A.   HMI warrants to Licensee, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

     (1) Subject to Part V.1.B below, HMI warrants that, during the thirty (30)
days immediately following the delivery of HealthCompass (the "Warranty
Period"): (i) performance of HealthCompass as delivered will not deviate
materially from the documentation accompanying HealthCompass; and (ii) any date
sensitive software components (i.e., software components the functionality of
which includes processing, providing and/or receiving date data) of
HealthCompass will be year 2000 compliant (i.e., will, when used in accordance
with associated documentation be capable of correctly processing, providing
and/or receiving date data from, into, within or between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries). For purposes of Part V.1.A(ii) the Warranty Period
shall be from the initial delivery of HealthCompass until December 31, 2000. If
Licensee believes there has been a breach of this warranty and so notifies HMI
in writing within the Warranty Period, then HMI will promptly investigate the
matter to determine the nature of the suspected breach. If it is determined that
there has been a breach of this warranty, then HMI's sole obligation, and
Licensee's exclusive remedy, will be for HMI to correct or modify HealthCompass
to make it perform as warranted.

     (2) Subject to Part V.1.B below, HMI warrants that the HMI Materials shall
not: (a) constitute, or contain material that would constitute, libel,
defamation or slander; or (b) constitute, or contain material that would
constitute, an invasion of the rights to publicity of any third party or other
similar right. Except as set forth in Part VI.1.B, to the extent the breach of
this Part V.1.A(2) is due to content not developed or owned by HMI, HMI's
exclusive liability and Licensee's sole remedy for breach of this Part V.1.A(2)
shall be for HMI to remove any content which is the subject of the warranty
claim in a commercially reasonable timely fashion.

<PAGE>
Page 12

     (3) Subject to Part V.1.B below, HMI warrants that the HMI Materials do not
infringe any third party copyrights, issued U.S. patents or trademarks or
misappropriate any trade secrets rights of a third party. If a third party
brings an action against Licensee making allegations which, if true, would
constitute a breach of this warranty for which HMI is responsible, or if HMI
anticipates such an action, HMI shall have the option, at its expense, to: (i)
modify the infringing item(s) to be noninfringing without materially changing
the functionality of such item(s); or (ii) obtain for Licensee a license to
continue using such item(s). This Part V.1.A(3) and Part VI.1.B state HMI's
entire obligation to Licensee and Licensee's sole remedy with respect to any
claim of intellectual property infringement with respect to the HMI Materials.

B. HMI is not responsible for any claimed breaches of the foregoing warranties
set forth in Part V.1 caused by: (i) software or other materials furnished to
HMI by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) modifications made to the HMI
Materials by anyone other than HMI and its authorized personnel working at HMI's
direction; (ii) the combination, operation or use of the HMI Materials with any
third-party equipment or software or other items that HMI did not supply to
Licensee (including, without limitation, any Licensee provided or developed
equipment or software); or (iii) failure to use any new or corrected versions of
HMI Materials made available by HMI.

C. HMI does not warrant that the HMI Materials will be error-free or that their
operation will be uninterrupted. Licensee acknowledges that it is solely
responsible for the results obtained from use of the HMI Materials.

2. LICENSEE WARRANTIES

     Licensee warrants that the Licensee Components and non-HMI Content
displayed or appearing on, or otherwise a part of, the pages of the Licensee Web
Sites including, without limitation, advertisements and the content accessed by
selecting such advertisements, in conjunction with Licensee's use of
HealthCompass shall not: (a) constitute, or contain material that would
constitute, libel, defamation or slander; (b) constitute, or contain material
that would constitute, an invasion of the rights to publicity of any third
party; or (c) infringe upon the IP Rights of any third party.

3.   WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

     THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS Part V BY EACH PARTY ARE IN LIEU
OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE.

claims based on: (i) claimed breach by Licensee of any of the warranties being
provided by Licensee in Part V.2 of this Agreement; (ii) breach by Licensee of

respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents harmless
from, and pay all settlements, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses),
damages, liabilities and awards, arising out of or relating to third party
claims based on: (i) claimed breach of any of the warranties being provided by
HMI in Part V.1 of this Agreement for which HMI is responsible; (ii) claim that

conditions conflicts with or causes a breach or violation of any other
agreement; (iii) breach of its confidentiality obligations pursuant to Part VI.5
of this Agreement; or (iv) HMI's negligence or intentional tortious conduct.

2.   INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES

A. NOTICE. Promptly after receipt by any entity entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of
any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action or proceeding
involving a claim in respect of which the indemnitee will seek indemnification
pursuant to the appropriate provision of this Agreement, the indemnitee shall
promptly notify the indemnitor of such claim in writing. No failure to so notify
an indemnitor shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement except to
the extent that it can demonstrate damages attributable to such failure. Within
fifteen (15) days following receipt of written notice from the indemnitee
relating to any claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which
any response to a complaint or summons is due, the indemnitor shall notify the
indemnitee in writing if the indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense
and settlement of that claim (a "Notice of Election"). The indemnitor shall
reimburse the indemnitee for all costs and expenses incurred by the indemnitee
in responding to such action or proceeding during the period between when the
indemnitee has notified the indemnitor of the claim in writing and when the
indemnitor delivers a Notice of Election in response or the expiration of the
required notice period for the Notice of Election to be delivered, whichever
comes first.

B. PROCEDURE FOLLOWING NOTICE OF ELECTION. If the indemnitor delivers a Notice
of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the
indemnitor shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and
settlement of such claim; provided that (i) the indemnitee shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own
expense to assist in the handling of such claim, and (ii) the indemnitor shall
obtain the prior written approval of the indemnitee before entering into any
settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim. After the
indemnitor has delivered a Notice of Election and has assumed its obligations
under this Part VI.2 relating to any claim in accordance with the preceding
paragraph, the indemnitor shall not be liable to the indemnitee for any legal
expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the defense of that
claim. In addition, the indemnitor shall not be required to indemnify the
indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by the indemnitee in the settlement of
any claim for which the indemnitor has delivered a timely Notice of Election if
such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor.

C. PROCEDURE WHERE NO NOTICE OF ELECTION IS DELIVERED. If the indemnitor does
not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required
notice period, the indemnitee shall have the right to defend the claim in such
manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the indemnitor.
The indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the indemnitee for all such costs and
expenses.

<PAGE>
Page 14

3.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each party's entire
liability and the other party's exclusive remedy for damages from any event or
claim arising under or relating to this Agreement, for any cause whatsoever, and
regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or in tort or any other
theory of liability (including, without limitation, breach of warranty and
negligence), will be limited as follows:

A. Subject to Part VI.3.C, each party will be liable for direct damages only, in
an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate for all claims, the greater of: (a)
the cumulative amount paid or payable to HMI under this Agreement in the three
(3) month period immediately proceeding the event giving rise to such liability,
or (b) [TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000)].

B. Subject to Part VI.3.C, in no event will either party be liable for any lost
profits, loss of business, loss of use, lost savings or other consequential,
special, incidental, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages, even if advised of
the possibility of such damages.

C. The limitations set forth in Part VI.3.A and Part VI.3.B shall not apply to:
(i) claims that are the subject of indemnification pursuant to Part VI.1; or
(ii) claims arising out of the breach of, Part II.4, Part IV or Part VI.5.

D. Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party is
responsible.

E. The remedies expressly stated in this Agreement are the sole and exclusive
remedies of either party. The limitations of liability set forth in this Part
VI.3 will survive the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy set forth in
this Agreement and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4.   FORCE MAJEURE

     Neither party will be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent
that performance of its obligations, or attempts to cure any breach, are delayed
or prevented by reason of any act of God, cause outside of the party's
reasonable control or other force majeure; provided that, such party promptly
gives to the other party written notice of the condition and undertakes
commercially reasonable efforts to circumvent the cause of the delay or minimize
the extent of the delay. In any such event, the time for performance or cure
will be extended for a period equal to the duration of the delay, not to exceed
four (4) weeks. If the notifying party does not resume performance of such
obligations or cure such breach before the end of such four (4) week period, the
other party will be entitled to terminate the Agreement immediately without any
obligation or liability to the delayed party for doing so.

5.   NONDISCLOSURE

A. Each party acknowledges that it may be furnished with or may otherwise
receive or have access to non-public information which relates to past, present
or future research, development, improvements, inventions, processes, software,
techniques, designs or other technical data, contact lists or other compilations
for marketing or development, or regarding administrative, management, financial
or marketing activities of HMI, Licensee or other third parties which have
provided information to HMI or Licensee. "Confidential Information" is all
information (i) identified in written, graphic electronic or oral format by the
Disclosing Party as confidential, trade secret or proprietary information, or
(ii) by its nature or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure should
reasonably be regarded as Confidential Information. "Disclosing Party" is the
party disclosing Confidential Information. "Receiving Party" is

<PAGE>
Page 15

the party receiving Confidential Information. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Confidential Information shall be deemed to include End-User Data
and data about End Users contained in Health Vectors and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

B. All Confidential Information furnished or otherwise disclosed to either party
in the course of performing this Agreement shall remain the property of and be
deemed proprietary and confidential to the Disclosing Party (with the exception
of End-User Data which shall, as between HMI and Licensee, be deemed to be
confidential to, and remain the property of, the disclosing End User). Without
limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party agrees: (a) to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to hold such Confidential Information in strict confidence
and in trust for the Disclosing Party; (b) to use the same degree of care in
protecting the Confidential Information for which it protects its own such
confidential information of like nature, but in no instance with less than
reasonable care to protect such Confidential Information against unauthorized
use or disclosure; and (c) to restrict disclosure of such Confidential
Information to its employees who (i) are directly participating in the
performance of this Agreement; (ii) have a need to know such Confidential
Information; and (iii) have, upon the request of the Disclosing Party as a
prerequisite to the release of Confidential Information, executed an employee
nondisclosure agreement in a form mutually acceptable to the Disclosing Party
and the Receiving Party.

C. The Receiving Party further agrees that, with regard to Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party has received or
itself generated, it will not disclose or allow to be disclosed any such
Confidential Information to any third party, including, without limitation, any
subsidiary, Affiliate, joint venture, any other contractual, cooperative, or
affiliated entity of the such third party, or any independent entity without the
express prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, which consent the
Disclosing Party may give or withhold in its sole discretion unless disclosure
of such Confidential Information is required by applicable law. If a Disclosing
Party consents to the disclosure of such Confidential Information to any such
third party, such disclosure shall not be made until Receiving Party, the
Disclosing Party and the third party have entered into a non-disclosure
agreement in a form acceptable to the Disclosing Party.

D. The Receiving Party shall not reproduce, disclose or use the Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party, except for the sole purpose of performing
its obligations under this Agreement or in accordance with applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Receiving Party
may not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which it has
received, collected or itself generated for purposes other than performing its
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Disclosing Party.

E. The limitations on reproduction, disclosure, or use of Confidential
Information shall not apply to, and neither party shall be liable for,
reproduction, disclosure, or use of any particular Confidential Information of
the other that:

     (1) was developed independently by the Receiving Party prior to the receipt
of any Confidential Information under this Agreement, as evidenced by written
documents prepared or received by such party prior to the receipt of any
Confidential Information under this Agreement;

     (2) was received without any obligation of confidentiality from a third
party that was rightfully in possession of such information and had the right to
disclose it to the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality;

<PAGE>
Page 16

     (3) has been published or otherwise disclosed to others by the Disclosing
Party without restrictions, or has come within the public knowledge or become
generally known to the public without breach of this Agreement;

     (4) is a derivative of End-User Data (or data about end users contained in
Health Vectors) that: (i) is of a statistical/demographic nature and provided in
an anonymous form, as an aggregate of the similar information of multiple end
users that does not individually identify specific end users (e.g., the number
of HealthCompass end users who are males between the ages of 25 and 40 reporting
a particular condition); or (ii) specific to a particular end user but provided
in a "blinded" fashion that does not reveal identifying data about such end user
(e.g., the age of the youngest HealthCompass end user in a geographic area
reporting a particular condition);

     (5) is legally required to be disclosed pursuant to a judicial order
(provided that, prior to such disclosure, the party ordered to make such a
disclosure promptly informs the other of the order).

The party seeking the protection of any of items (1) through (5) above shall
bear the burden of proof with respect to any such exception. Immediately upon
receipt by the Receiving Party of any request to release, disclose or use
Confidential Information, where such release, disclosure or use is required by
applicable law and is otherwise in contravention to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party written notice of
such request. Such notice shall be calculated to be sufficiently descriptive and
in advance of any such release, disclosure or use so as to allow Disclosing
Party the opportunity to raise any appropriate objections. Disclosing Party
shall be solely responsible for raising such objections and shall bear all
costs, including legal costs, associated with such objections. Confidential
Information may be disclosed on a need to know basis to the accountants and
attorney of the Receiving Party without the consent of the Disclosing Party.

F. Should the Receiving Party receive information with uncertain status, the
Receiving Party agrees to treat such information as Confidential Information
until it receives written verification from the Disclosing Party that such
information is not Confidential Information.

G. Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the furnishing of any
Confidential Information by the Disclosing Party or the Receiving Party shall be
construed as granting to either party expressly, by implication, by estoppel or
otherwise, any license under any trademark, copyright, invention or other
proprietary right now or hereafter owned or controlled by the party furnishing
such information.

H. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the
Receiving Party shall, at the Disclosing Party's option, either return or
destroy all Confidential Information, and shall destroy all analyses,
compilations, forecasts, studies and other documents based upon or derived from
such Confidential Information, and in each case shall retain no copies and shall
cause an officer of the Receiving Party to certify in writing that it has
complied fully with its obligations under this Part VI.5.H.

I. With regard to Confidential Information which either party has received or
itself generated, in the event either party becomes aware of any release,
disclosure or use of such Confidential Information which has not been authorized
by this Agreement, it will promptly, at its sole expense, (i) notify the
Disclosing Party in writing; (ii) take such actions as may be necessary or
reasonably requested by the Disclosing Party to minimize such unauthorized
release, distribution or use and any damage to the Disclosing Party resulting
therefrom; and (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, cooperate in all
reasonable respects with the Disclosing Party to minimize any such release,
distribution, use and damage.

J. The provisions of this Part VI.5 shall survive the termination or expiration
of this Agreement for any reason for a period of five (5) years; provided,
however, that such provision shall continue to apply: (i) to End-User Data; and
(ii) as necessary to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, ordinances
and codes.

6.   RIGHTS IN DATA

A. Within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, the parties shall in good
faith commence negotiations to mutually agree upon a set of standards to govern:
(i) the location of particular elements or types of End-User Data, as between
HealthCompass and the Licensee Web Sites; (ii) the presentation of derivatives
of End-User Data to third parties; (iii) physical and logical security measures
to safeguard against the unauthorized alteration of access to, or destruction or
loss of, End User Data; and (iv) other security policies related to HMI's and
Licensee's uses of End User Data (items (i) through (iv) collectively, the
"End-User Data Standards"). Such Standards will be based on, or take into
account standards or guidelines promulgated by: (i) federal or applicable state
or local governmental organizations; and (ii) industry recognized
groups/organizations. Once established and agreed upon, each party shall be
bound by and comply with such End-User Data Standards.

B.   Notwithstanding Part VI.6.A above:

     (1) HMI shall have: (i) the right to provide market research or data
analysis on the whole of HealthCompass (i.e., on all End User Data contained in
HealthCompass including, without limitation, the Licensee Sourced End User Data)
to third parties; and (ii) ongoing access to Licensee Sourced End User Data as
necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement including, without
limitation, the ongoing maintenance, support and enhancement of HealthCompass.

     (2) Licensee's access to the End-User Data contained in HealthCompass of
End-Users whose data was entered into HealthCompass through a Licensee Web Site
(and which has not been removed by such End-User) (hereinafter referred to as
"Licensee Sourced End-User Data") shall generally be for the purpose of
performing market research of a statistical or demographic nature (specifically,
trend spotting and making observations about such end users).

     (3) Licensee shall establish physical and logical data security and
protection measures no less stringent than those maintained by HMI (or on HMI's
behalf) to protect/secure/safeguard End-User Data prior to viewing, displaying
or maintaining copies of Licensee Sourced End-User Data outside of
HealthCompass.

7.   SECURITY

A. DIGITAL SECURITY. To restrict access to HealthCompass to authorized end users
whose identity has been verified, and to secure transmission of information over
the Internet between such end users and Licensee, when using HealthCompass,
access to, and use of, HealthCompass shall be protected by a Digital Certificate
based public-key encryption process. Accordingly, prior to using HealthCompass,
End Users shall be required to present a Digital Certificate to Licensee from an
HMI approved Certifying Authority. Upon End-User request, HMI will serve as the
Certifying Authority and issue an HMI Digital Certificate to the End-User. If
the End-User elects to obtain the Digital Certificate from an HMI approved
Certifying Authority (as opposed to HMI), the End-User will be responsible for
any costs associated with acquiring such Digital Certificate.

<PAGE>
Page 18

B.   SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF END-USER DATA.

     (1) HMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to institute and maintain
industry recognized "best practices" (limited to the commercial sector) for
physical and logical security measures to safeguard against the unauthorized
alteration or access to, or destruction or loss of, End User Data. As of the
Effective Date, HMI is a participant in several privacy programs that govern the
privacy and security of information over the Internet, including TRUSTe, HON
code and the Better Business Bureau (BBB Online). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, HMI shall comply with applicable mandatory
standards promulgated by federal or applicable state or local jurisdictions and
relating to the safeguarding of data that is of a same or similar nature to
medical data in the context of the Internet or World Wide Web; provided that
failure by HMI to comply with such applicable mandatory standards shall not be
deemed to be a breach of this Agreement where HMI provides Licensee with
commercially adequate assurances that such non-compliance does not place on
Licensee any liability that would not have existed in the absence of such
non-compliance.

     (2) Licensee agrees that the Licensee Web Sites, as well as Licensee's use
of the Licensee Web Sites and HealthCompass, and Licensee's use of Licensee
Sourced End-User Data, shall be subject to the HMI promulgated security policies
set forth in EXHIBIT C and the relevant security requirements established in the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

8.   INSURANCE

     Each party will have and maintain in force the following insurance
coverages:

A. Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Products,
Completed Operations Liability and Personal Injury, Blanket Contractual
Liability and Broad Form Property Damage Liability coverage for damages to any
property with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the
aggregate.

B. Employee Dishonesty and Computer Fraud coverage for loss arising out of or in
connection with any fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by the employees or
agents of the insured party, acting alone or in collusion with others, including
the property and funds of others in their care, custody or control, in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000.

C. Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance covering the liability for financial
loss due to error, omission, negligence of employees and machine malfunction in
an amount of at least $5,000,000.

D. Software Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance covering the liability for
financial loss due to software errors and omissions in an amount of at least
$5,000,000.

Each party shall cause its insurers to issue certificates of insurance
evidencing that the coverages and policy endorsements required under this
Agreement are maintained in force and that not less than thirty (30) days
written notice shall be given to the other party prior to any modification,
cancellation or non-renewal of the policies.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION

A. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and expire
on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Initial Term"),
unless terminated earlier or extended in accordance with this Agreement. This
Agreement (including, without limitation, the license granted in Part II.1) will

<PAGE>
Page 19

automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods unless either party
notifies the other in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or any then-applicable renewal period that it desires this
Agreement to expire at the end of the Initial Term or renewal period. The
Initial Term and any renewal period(s) are collectively referred to herein as
the "Term".

B. If either party believes that the other party has failed in any material
respect to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then that party may
provide written notice to the breaching party describing the alleged failure in
reasonable detail. If the breaching party does not, within one hundred and
eighty (180) calendar days after receiving such written notice, either (i) cure
the material failure or (ii) if the breach is not one that can reasonably be
cured within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, develop a plan to cure
the failure and diligently proceed according to the plan until the material
failure has been cured, then the non-breaching party may terminate this
Agreement for cause by providing written notice to the non-breaching party.
Termination of this Agreement will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, other
remedies available to the terminating party under this Agreement.

C. HMI may terminate this Agreement by giving Licensee prior written notice and
designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective if Licensee
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary
petition of bankruptcy, suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its
business or assets, becomes subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, that is not dismissed within one
hundred and twenty (120) days, or has wound up or liquidated, voluntarily or
otherwise.

D. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement
for any reason: (i) Licensee shall cease all use of and, at HMI's election,
return to HMI or destroy the original and all copies (including partial copies)
of all software, documentation, all HMI Confidential Information, and any other
products or materials licensed or otherwise provided to Licensee under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the HMI Materials) ("HMI Items"); (ii)
all rights granted to Licensee in and to such HMI Items shall terminate.
Licensee shall certify in writing to HMI that it has fully performed its
obligations under this paragraph.

10.  LAW AND DISPUTES

A. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of [SOUTH CAROLINA],
without regard to any provision of [SOUTH CAROLINA] law that would require or
permit the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

B.   INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

     (1) Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the
parties shall first attempt to resolve their dispute informally, as follows:

          a) Upon the written request of a party, each party shall appoint a
designated representative whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of
endeavoring to resolve such dispute.

          b) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the parties
reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all
information with respect to the matter in issue which the parties believe to be
appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives
shall discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the
necessity of any formal proceeding.
<PAGE>
Page 20

          c) During the course of discussion, all reasonable requests made by
one party to another for nonprivileged information, reasonably related to this
Agreement, shall be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully
advised of the other's position.

          d) The specific format for the discussions shall be left to the
discretion of the designated representatives.

     (2) Formal proceedings for the resolution of a dispute may not be commenced
until the earlier of:

          a) the designated representatives concluding in good faith that
amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear
likely; or

          b) thirty (30) days after the initial written request to appoint a
designated representative pursuant to Paragraph (a) above (this period shall be
deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Part
VI.10.B was not followed or completed).

     (3) Part VI.10.B shall not be construed to prevent a party from
instituting, and a party is authorized to institute, formal proceedings earlier
to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, or to preserve a
superior position with respect to other creditors.

C.   IMMEDIATE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

     The parties agree that the only circumstance in which disputes between them
shall not be subject to the provisions of Part VI.10.B is where a party makes a
good faith determination that a breach of the terms of this Agreement by the
other party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive
relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy. If a party files a pleading
with a court seeking immediate injunctive relief and this pleading is challenged
by the other party and the injunctive relief sought is not awarded in
substantial part, the party filing the pleading seeking immediate injunctive
relieve shall pay all of the costs and attorney's fees of the party successfully
challenging the pleading.

D.   BINDING ARBITRATION.

     (1) Subject to Part VI.10.B above, questions or disputes arising out of or
relating to this Agreement will be determined by binding arbitration in
Columbia, South Carolina, under the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
Commercial Arbitration Rules with Expedited Procedures in effect on the date
hereof, as modified by this Agreement.

     (2) There will be one arbitrator selected by the parties within ten (10)
days of the arbitration demand or if not, by the AAA from its Large, Complex
Case Panel (or have similar professional credentials), who shall be an attorney
with at least fifteen (15) years commercial law experience. Any issues about
whether a claim is covered by this Agreement will be determined by the
arbitrator.

     (3) As may be shown to be necessary to ensure a fair hearing: the
arbitrator may authorize limited discovery; and may enter pre-hearing orders
regarding, without limitation, scheduling, document exchange, witness disclosure
and issues to be heard. The arbitrator will not be bound by the rules of
evidence or of civil procedure, but may consider such writings and oral
presentations as reasonable people would use in the conduct of their day-to-day
affairs, and may require the parties to submit some or all of their case by
written declaration or such other manner of presentation as the arbitrator may
determine to be appropriate. The parties intend to limit live testimony and
cross-examination to the extent necessary to ensure a fair hearing on material
issues.

<PAGE>
Page 21

     (4) The parties agree that the arbitrator will be directed to use best
efforts to: (i) hold a private hearing within sixty (60) days after the initial
demand for arbitration; (ii) conclude the hearing within three (3) days; and
(iii) provide his or her written decision not later than fourteen (14) days
after the hearing. In making the decision and award, the arbitrator shall apply
the applicable substantive law. Absent fraud, collusion or willful misconduct by
the arbitrator, the arbitrator's award will be final, and judgment may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will award
attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party but will have no authority to
award any damages that are excluded by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Either party will have the right to apply at any time to a judicial
authority for appropriate injunctive or other interim or provisional relief, and
will not by doing so be deemed to have breached its agreement to arbitrate or to
have affected the powers reserved to the arbitrator.

     (5) Neither party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or
results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties.

E. Both HMI and Licensee agree to comply fully with all relevant export laws and
regulations of the United States to ensure that no information or technical data
provided pursuant to this Agreement is exported or re-exported directly or
indirectly in violation of law.

F. No proceeding, regardless of form, arising out of or related to this
Agreement may be brought by either party more than two (2) years after the
accrual of the cause of action, except that (i) proceedings related to violation
of a party's proprietary rights or any duty to protect Confidential Information
may be brought at any time within the applicable statute of limitations, and
(ii) proceedings for non-payment may be brought up to two (2) years after the
date the last payment was due.

11.  GENERAL

A. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be made or given
by either party pursuant to this Agreement will be in writing, and will be
deemed to have been duly given: (i) five (5) business days after the date of
mailing if sent by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, with
return receipt requested; (ii) when transmitted if sent by facsimile, provided a
confirmation of transmission is produced by the sending machine and a copy of
such facsimile is promptly sent by another means specified in this section; or
(iii) when delivered if delivered personally or sent by express courier service.
All notices will be sent to the other party at its address as set forth below or

B. Each party will act in good faith in its performance of this Agreement and
will not unreasonably delay or withhold the giving of any consent, decision or
approval that is either requested by the other party or is reasonably required
by the other party in order to perform its responsibilities in accordance with
this Agreement.

C. Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any right or
obligation set forth in this Agreement without the other party's prior written
consent, except that a party may assign any right or obligation set forth in
this Agreement to an Affiliate or to a successor entity in the event of a
merger, consolidation or sale of such party's business or all or substantially
all of such party's stock or assets, provided the assignee agrees in writing to
assume all of the assignor's obligations and liabilities under this Agreement,
and provided further that the substitution of the rights of the assignee for the
rights of the assignor does not materially increase the scope of Licensee's use
of HealthCompass or materially increase the burden or risk imposed on the other
party by this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding
sentence will be void and of no effect. This Agreement will be binding upon the
parties' respective successors and permitted assigns.

D. Except as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement, all media
releases, public announcements, and public disclosures by either party relating
to this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement, including promotional
or marketing material, but not including announcements intended solely for
internal distribution or disclosures to the extent required to meet legal or
regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing party,
shall be coordinated with and approved by other party prior to release.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, HMI may identify the Licensee as a
client and generally state the nature of HMI's relationship with the Licensee.

E. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of any provision of this
Agreement.

F. Licensee and HMI are and will remain independent contractors with respect to
all performance rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Neither Licensee nor any
employee or agent of Licensee will be considered an employee or agent of HMI for
any purpose. Neither HMI nor any employee or agent of HMI will be considered an
employee or agent of Licensee for any purpose. Neither party, nor its employees,
will have any authority to bind or make commitments on behalf of the other party
for any purpose, nor will it or they hold itself or themselves out as having
such authority. Each party will be solely responsible for supervising, providing
daily direction and control, paying the salaries (including withholding of
income taxes and social security), worker's compensation, disability benefits
and the like of its personnel.

G. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable, and the
unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the
enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of this
Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the parties will
substitute an

<PAGE>
Page 23

enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible in accordance with
applicable law, preserves the original intentions and economic positions of the
parties.

H. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy
will operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving party. If either
party waives any right, power or remedy, such waiver will not waive any
successive or other right, power or remedy the party may have under this
Agreement.

I. Any provisions of this Agreement that by their sense and context contemplate
continued performance or observance by one or both parties following the
expiration or termination for any reason of this Agreement will survive any such
expiration or termination.

J. Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and
will not be used to interpret or construe this Agreement.

K. The Exhibits referred to in and attached to this Agreement are made a part of
it as if fully included in the text.

L. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and
supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous communications between the parties
(whether written or oral) relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This
Agreement may be modified or amended solely in a writing signed by both parties.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By signing below, each party acknowledges that it has read this Agreement,
understands it and, intending to be legally bound by this Agreement, has caused
its authorized representative to execute this Agreement as of the date first
written above.
