Dear Mr. Marcus:

RE: Amendment to Advertising Agency Agreement dated January 28, 2000

Upon review of the contract and discussion with Mr. Chell, C Me Run Corp.
wishes to revise the paragraph on Compensation in the above noted contract to
the following:

"Client will pay IBC 30,000 Rule 144 restricted shares, of which 25,000 will
have piggy back registration rights. Additionally, Client has the option to
renew this agreement for an additional six months, for an additional 75,000 Rule
144 restricted shares to IBC. These additional shares will be issued upon
written confirmation from the Client of the renewal of this contract. The
additional shares will not have registration rights unless otherwise negotiated
at the time of renewal of this contract."

I apologize for making a change to the contract so soon into our relationship
but am looking forward to working with you.

Once you have signed in the space allotted below, acknowledging acceptance of
this change, I will contact our lawyers to start the subscription process for
the issuance of your shares.
