that this outstanding claim against the Company will not exceed the amount of
CHF 600,000 by 12/31/2000. This claim is recorded on the Company's balance sheet

shareholder loan by making a statement to that effect.

c)   BCM

has a non-transferable, 15-year own-use license to use the standard
software/BOTs software of ALIFE in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Poland
(Sec. 7.1 of the Project Agreement). The Company and ALIFE Solutions are jointly
entitled to additional software developed by ALIFE Schweiz for the Company
(hereinafter: "Contract Software") so that both parties may have all rights of
utilization to the Contract Software independent of each other. However, the
Company has a claim to 25% of the license fees generated by ALIFE Schweiz by
marketing the Contract Software to third parties (Sec. 7.2 of the Project
Agreement).
<PAGE>

                                                                          Page 7

By signing this Agreement, the Company and ALIFE Schweiz agree to the following
change regarding the transfer of rights to the Contract Software pursuant to
Clause 7.2 of the Project Agreement:

a)   ALIFE / ALIFE Schweiz hereby to the Company assign all created rights to
     the Contract Software, in particular all copyrights to that software, to
     the full extent, i.e., unlimited as to content and time, for all European
     states (including the former East Bloc countries and Turkey). The transfer
     of title includes in particular, but not exclusively, the right of
     reproduction, editing/further development, publication, marketing in any
     form and for all possible uses. The Company thus becomes the sole
     proprietor of all copyrights to the Contract Software in all European
     states.

     The assignment of rights also includes all rights to records, documents,
     descriptions, etc. associated with the software. [handwritten:] Swiss law -
     copies: 10 days after agreement code source code and documentation

     ALIFE / ALIFE Schweiz shall turn over copies of all codes, including the
     source code as well as all documentation, to the Company within ten days of
     the signing of the Agreement. [handwritten:] Source Code!

     In all other countries, ALIFE / ALIFE Schweiz becomes the sole proprietor
     of all copyrights to the software.

b)   In order to strengthen the territorial division of rights agreed in Clause
     a, the parties agree not to offer any products and/or services based on the
     Contract Software in any form (direct or indirect) in the legal territory
     of the other party to the Agreement for a period of three years from the
     signing of this Agreement.

c)   ALIFE AND ALIFE Schweiz guarantee that the Company will acquire all
     copyrights to the Contract Software for all European Countries, that these
     rights have neither been transferred either entirely or in part to third
     parties nor encumbered with third party rights. They also have not been
     entrusted to third parties. The use of the software by the Company or by a
     contracting partner authorized by it does not violate any rights of third
     parties. ALIFE and ALIFE Schweiz shall indemnify the Company against any
     third party claims on first request. Other claims of the Company pursuant
     to the Project Agreement remain unaffected.

d)   ALIFE and ALIFE Schweiz agree to undertake all actions on first request
     that are necessary or may become necessary to implement the transfer of
     rights in individual countries. If, and to the extent that, a transfer of
     rights is not possible, an exclusive, transferable license to use the
     Contract Software without limits as to time or materials shall take effect
     in this territory.

e)   In other respects, the provisions of the Project Agreement, in particular
     the provisions regarding warranty and liability, shall not be affected.

                                                                          Page 8

9.   Orders from e-tail

e-tail agrees to place orders with the Company during each of the next three
years amounting to at least CHF 200,000 annually. The payment of these orders
will be in settlement of the loan according to Clause 7b.

10.  Supervisory Board

ALIFE and e-tail assure the other shareholders that they will actively support
the development of the Company with one representative each on the Supervisory
Board. Payment of remuneration for the Supervisory Board is waived.

11.  Bringing the Shares into B2B Media Corp.

The New Shareholders plan to bring their shares in the Company together with
other participating interests in the media and Internet business into a holding
company that is to be floated on the stock exchange (hereinafter referred to as:
"B2B").

It is consistent with the will of all parties that all shares of the Company
should be brought into B2B. Provided B2B consents to this bringing in, the New
Shareholders undertake an obligation towards the Old Shareholders that the
latter may bring their shares in the Company into B2B at the same time and at
the same rating key per share as the former (share swap).

The New Shareholders assure the Old Shareholders that their shares will be
treated equally in terms of value as those of the New Shareholders on being
introduced into B2B. Consequently, the New Shareholders waive any premium for
the bringing of the majority of the shares. The valuation of the Company and of
B2B approved by the New Shareholders shall be the standard for this
introduction.

In order to safeguard this conversion obligation, the share certificates of the
Old Shareholders will be deposited in the law offices of Reichenbach + Partner.

12.  Klaus Kater

ALIFE Schweiz is willing to terminate the employment agreement with Klaus Kater
effective 12/31/2000 without consequence as to costs if Klaus Kater wishes to be
employed with the Company.

13.  Cancellation of the Shareholders Commitment to Offer a Contract

The shareholders commitment to offer a contract is cancelled upon the signing of
this Agreement.

                                                                          Page 9

III. FINAL PROVISIONS

14.  Severability Clause

In the event that this Agreement should be in need of supplementation in its
execution and/or if it contains gaps, the parties agree to seek a good faith
arrangement which safeguards the interests of the parties according to
reasonable discretion.

If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes void, non-binding or null, this
shall not affect the legal validity of the remaining provisions. In such a case,
the voided provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes as close to it
as possible in a legally admissible form.

15.  Written Form

Amendments to or supplements of this Agreement, including as regards this
provision, require a written agreement between the parties for them to be valid.

16.  Annexes

The annexes appended to this Agreement constitute an integral component of this
Agreement.

17.  Jurisdiction / Applicable Law

Swiss law applies exclusively to the present Agreement, excluding the rules of
the IPR.

The courts where the offices of the Company are registered, or the Commercial
Court of the Canton of Zurich, at the discretion of the plaintiff, shall be the
legal venue for all disputes arising out of this Agreement, including its
annexes, as well as those concerning the validity of its formation, its legal
effectiveness or amendment.

shares to be issued in the future (of the least preferred category), in
reference to their nominal value, in distributing net profit and the proceeds of
liquidation and with respect to subscription rights.

ART. 9
------

The shareholders and participants have a right to subscribe for newly issued
shares or participation certificates according to their former ownership of
shares or participation certificates, unless the resolution on increasing
capital or contracts with third parties specify otherwise. If participation
capital is created, the shareholders have a right to subscription as when new
shares are issued.
<PAGE>

If the capital stock and the participation capital are increased simultaneously
and proportionately, then the shareholders can only subscribe to stock shares,
the participants only to participation certificates.

If the capital stock or the participation capital is increased alone or if one
is increased more than the other, the subscription rights are to be allocated in
such a way that shareholders and participants can continue to participate [in
the] total capital just as before.

present.

The Supervisory Board makes its decisions with a majority of the votes cast. In

resolve to make the requisite subsequent amendment to the corporate articles.

Discussions and decisions of the Supervisory Board must be recorded in minutes
of the meetings.

Decision-making by written circulation is permissible, as long as no member
demands verbal consultation. Decisions by circulation are to be incorporated
into the minutes.

Auditors' report to the attention of the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance
with Art. 732 OR concerning reduction of the capital stock of

NET-TISSIMO.COM AG, EGERKINGEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supervisory Board of net-tissimo AG commissioned us to prepare the auditor's
report for the planned reduction of the capital stock.

The balance sheet and the motion to carry out the reduction of capital are the
responsibility of the Supervisory Board, whereas our task consists in examining
and judging whether the claims of the creditors are fully covered after the
proposed capital reduction are fully covered. We affirm that we fulfill the
requirements of law with regard to qualification and independence.

The balance sheet of the company as of November 30, 2000 shows capital stock of
Fr. 6,000,000 and the following net loss:

                                                                      CHF

Net loss as of 1/1/2000                                            1,387,527
Annual loss 1/1 - 11/30/2000                                       3,522,385
                                                                   ---------
Net loss for the year as of November 30, 2000                      4,909,912
                                                                   ---------

By motion of the Supervisory Board, this deficit
is to be lowered by reducing the capital stock of                  6,000,000
(divided into 60,000 registered shares at Fr. 100 per share) by    3,999,600
                                                                   ---------
to                                                                 2,000,400

As a restorative measure, the Administrative
Board moves that the capital stock be raised
again at the same time by                                          2,505,000
                                                                   ---------
to                                                                 4,505,400
                                                                   =========
by pay-in of cash.

The nominal value of the shares should be reduced accordingly, so that the
capital stock is newly divided into 60,000 shares of registered stock at the
(former) value of Fr. 33.34 per share, and 25,050 shares of registered stock
(from increasing the capital stock again) at Fr. 100.00 per share.
<PAGE>

Our audit was conducted in accordance with the principles of the profession,
according to which an audit is to be planned and carried out in such a way that
significant errors connected with the evaluation of the coverage of the
creditors after the reduction in capital are recognized with appropriate
certainty. We carried out the audit activities appropriate to the circumstances.
We are of the opinion that our audit constitutes an adequate basis for our
judgment.

The capital reduction does not exceed the deficit that resulted from the losses,
so that according to Art. 735 OR calls to the shareholders concerning
satisfaction or guarantees can be dispensed with.

According to our assessment, the claims of credits will be fully covered even
after execution of the reduction and re-increasing of the capital stock.

Addendum to the Agreement dated 12/19/2000

The execution of the Agreement previously signed by all parties with the
exception of Artificial Life Inc. on December 19, 2000 regarding net-tissimo.com
AG (hereinafter: "ABV") requires that there be a shift of the participating
ratios of the Old Shareholders and a new alignment of one principal shareholder
and various minority shareholders (hereinafter: "the Transaction").

To take Artificial Life's concerns into account, the parties stipulate the
following both to state in more precise terms the parties' already existing
intent with regard to the contract and the business, as well as to add new
content.

1.   Limitations on the Sale of Specific Assets

     Without the express consent of the Supervisory Board (Supervisory Board
     resolution, approved by a 2/3 majority) of net-tissimo.com AG, the Company
     shall not sell or pledge to third parties assets that constitute the
     Company's essential substance, in particular proprietary and licensing
     rights to the software belonging to the Company. Subsidiaries, affiliated
     companies or parent companies of nettissimo.com AG also are regarded as
     third parties in particular. The shareholders agree to have the
     corresponding quorum for passing a resolution of the Supervisory Board duly
     included in the Company's articles of incorporation.

2.   Retention of the Object of the Company

     Pursuant to Sec. 704 para. 1 No. 1 OR [Swiss Law of Obligations], a change
     of the object of a company requires a resolution by the shareholders'
     meeting based on at least two-thirds of the votes represented and the
     absolute majority of the nominal value of shares represented. The
     shareholders undertake an obligation to comply with Sec. 704 OR at all
     times. In addition, they also shall ensure that the Supervisory Board and
     Management comply with Sec. 704 OR. This obligation also includes
     transactions that may result in a de facto change of the object of the
     Company.

3.   Supervisory Board

     The minority shareholders who will be recorded in the shareholders'
     register after this transaction is effected shall have the right to
     nominate a Supervisory Board; the shareholders undertake mutually to elect
     the Supervisory Board nominated accordingly.

                                                                          Page 2

4.   Subscription Right

     For this transaction, the previous shareholders fully waive their
     statutory/legal right of first refusal.

     The subscription rights of the shareholders provided in Sec. 650 para. 2
     No. 8 in conjunction with Sec. 652b OR and in Sec. 9 of the Articles of
     Incorporation must be upheld by the Company at any time in connection with
     any future increases of share capital. Consequently, subject to the
     statutory and legal regulations, each shareholder has a claim to that
     portion of any newly issued shares that corresponds to his previous
     interest.

5.   Restrictions on Disposal

     The parties mutually concede a right of first refusal (Clause 5.1), a right
     of co-sale with founders (Clause 5.2) and also a come-along (Clause 5.3).

5.1  Right of First Refusal

     The parties hereby mutually concede a right of first refusal to all shares
     of the Company owned by them at any time in proportion to their previous
     shareholdings.

     If a shareholder wishes to sell his shares to third parties, he must first
     offer them to the other shareholders in proportion to the future
     shareholdings at the conditions that were offered to him in writing by a
     third party.

     If the shareholders having a right of first refusal do not make use of
     their right of first refusal, or make use of it incompletely, within 30
     days of written notice, then the remaining shares for sale shall be offered
     to the other shareholders in proportion to the future shareholdings at the
     conditions that were offered in writing by the third party. These remaining
     shares burdened with a right of first refusal shall not be offered to those
     parties who waived the right of first refusal by written statement or
     failed to make use of them before the deadline.

     If the shareholders have not made use of their right of first refusal, or
     did not make use of it completely, within an additional thirty days, then
     the party desiring to sell shall be entitled to sell the remaining shares
     for sale to such third party within three months at the conditions offered
     in writing by the third party. A sale to a different buyer or a sale at
     other conditions is not allowed.

     Exempt from the right of first refusal are transfers of shares to Company
     subsidiaries, affiliated companies or parent companies of the shareholders
     desiring to sell, transfers among the New Shareholders and to Mr. Klaus
     Kappeler. If such transfers to affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies
     occur, the seller or sellers undertake to ensure that the buyers accede to
     the ABV and the present addendum to the ABV without reservation and
     assuming all rights and duties in their place.

5.2  Right of Co-Sale with Founders

     Each party has a right of co-sale (must take along). Subject to the rights
     of first refusal pursuant to Clause 5 above, the shareholders are entitled
     to demand a "take along" in the event another shareholder or other
     shareholders (hereinafter: "the Sellers") sell a majority interest (at
     least 67%) or all shares of the Company to a third party. In such event,
     the shareholders are entitled to co-sell all their shares at the same
     conditions and the Sellers must ensure that this co-sale comes into being.
     The Sellers may only execute the sale of the shares if the sale of the
     shares offered by the other shareholders by exercise of their right of co-
     sale is also executed at the same time.

     The selling party is required to obtain a corresponding written offer to
     buy from the interested buyer and, if the possible interested buyer's
     credit standing is not obvious, a corresponding capital-evidencing
     certificate for the other parties and invite them by registered letter to
     exercise their right of first refusal. Within 30 days of receipt of the
     notification, each of the entitled parties must inform the selling party by
     a written statement without reservation whether he intends to exercise his
     right of first refusal. The period is allowed if the statement of intent to
     exercise is turned over to a post office as a registered letter within the
     time period cited. Otherwise, the shareholder has waived it for the
     specific case.

7.   "Come Along"

     In return, the shareholders mutually concede a "come along" in such a case
     (co-sale of all shares at the same conditions if requested by the third
     party). If one shareholder or several shareholders together sell shares to
     a third party and if such sale includes more than 67% of the share capital,
     the Sellers may request that the other shareholders or the other
     shareholder sell their/his shares to such third party at the same
     conditions.

     The parties are assuming that the purchase price negotiated "at arms-
     length" by the Sellers with any third party will correspond to the market
     price. If other shareholders hold the opinion in good faith that this is
     not the case, they may request that an expert draw up an appropriate
     report. The expert in this case must be a recognized fiduciary company that
     is appointed by the shareholders jointly. The come along shall lapse if the
     sale price in the expert report is deemed to be at least 20% too low. The
     costs of the expert report shall be borne by the shareholders who request
     it. They will be reimbursed for the costs if the come along lapses.

     If a shareholder refuses to join in signing the corresponding agreement
     within a period of at least 30 days set by the Sellers, then the Sellers
     shall be entitled to buy the shares of the corresponding shareholder at the
     price offered by the third party (right of purchase).

8.   B2B Media Corp.

     The rights of first refusal, rights of co-sale and come along described
     above shall not apply if the shareholders bring all shares of the Company
     into B2B Media Corp. Clause 11 of the ABV applies (share swap).

9.   Interim Financing - December 2000

     Claims against Net-tissimo.com AG amounting to CHF 138,455.85 became due in
     December 2000. Net-tissimo.com AG was not able to pay these claims because
     of the delay in executing the ABV. Artificial Life agrees to pay half this
     amount, i.e., CHF 69,000, rounded off. The amount will be settled along
     with ALIFE's claim for repayment of a loan, pursuant to Clause 7 letter a
     ABV. In all other respects, this interim financing does not result in a
     change in the amount of the claim agreed between the Old Shareholders and
     the Company in Clause 7 of the ABV.
