        In

        b)    With

Remsen upon the signing of this Agreement). In addition, Remsen shall receive on a monthly basis during the term of this Agreement three and one-half (31/2) year warrants to
purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock of Sento, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the "Warrants"). The Warrants shall vest over a one-year period from the date of grant. The form of
Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Warrants shall be issued to Remsen on the first day of each month (the initial Warrants to purchase
5,000 shares for the month of January 2004 shall be issued to Remsen upon the signing of this Agreement). 

        4.    Termination.    

        a.     Either

        c.     In
the event of termination of this Agreement by Sento for any reason during the second six (6) months of this Agreement except as provided in

directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and agents (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actual losses,

        8.    Choice of Law and Jurisdiction.    This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State
of New York and will be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect the conflict of
laws. Sento agrees (i) that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in New York State Supreme Court, County of New York
or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, (ii) waives any objection to the venue of such suit, action or proceeding and the right to assert that such forum

New York and agrees to such service or process upon it mailed to its address and such mailing shall be deemed in every respect effective service and process upon it in any suit, action or
proceeding. 

        9.    Relationship.    The parties hereto do not intend this Agreement or the relationship hereunder to constitute a
joint venture or partnership of any kind. The parties hereto agree that Remsen is an independent contractor in performing the services hereunder and, as such, Remsen shall be the sole employer of
Remsen's employees. Under no circumstance shall one party's employees be construed to be employees of the other party, nor shall one party's employees be entitled to participate in the profit sharing,
pension or other plans established for the benefit of the other party's employees. 

        10.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, as amended from time to time, constitutes the entire understanding between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
negotiations, representations, prior discussions and agreements (whether written or oral) between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. All Exhibits attached to this Agreement are
expressly made a part of this Agreement as though completely set forth in it. The Agreement may not be amended or modified in any way except by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer
of Remsen and Sento. In executing this Agreement, each party acknowledges that it does not rely on any inducements, promises or representations of the other party or any agent of the other party,
other than the terms and conditions specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Agreement shall inure to and bind the successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. 

        11.    Assignment.    Except in conjunction with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, neither party
hereto may sell or assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations under the terms of the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld except Remsen may assign this agreement to William Teitelbaum or any entity controlled by Mr. Teitelbaum. No such permitted sale or assignment shall relieve either
party of its obligations under the Agreement. 

        12.    Survivability of Obligations.    Termination of this Agreement as provided herein shall not relieve either
Sento or Remsen of any obligation arising hereunder prior to such termination. 

        13.    Waiver.    Any waiver by any party hereto of any breach of any kind or character whatsoever by any other party,
whether such waiver be direct or implied, shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of, or consent to, any subsequent breach of the Agreement on the part of the other party or parties. No course
of dealing or performance between the parties hereto, nor any delay in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder or otherwise, shall operate as a waiver of any of the rights or remedies of any party
hereto. 

        14.    Miscellaneous.    If Remsen's employees are working on the premises of Sento, Remsen's employees shall observe
the working hours, working rules and security procedures established by Sento. 

        15.    Severability.    In the event that any provision of this Agreement should be declared illegal or unenforceable
for any reason by any legally constituted court or government authority, the remaining provisions shall not be invalidated on account thereof and shall remain in full force and effect provided,
however, that if as a result of a declaration of illegality or unenforceability of a part of this Agreement the essential purposes of this Agreement cannot be fulfilled, the Agreement shall terminate
forthwith, and all provisions of this Agreement relating to or governing termination thereof shall come into effect. 

        16.    Good Faith Dealings.    The parties hereto shall deal with each other at all times in good faith. 

        17.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, and all such counterparts will
constitute one and the same instrument.

Dear
Pat, 

Obviously,
everyone at RCG is extremely pleased that we will continue representing Sento going forward. While, your initial six months at Sento has certainly not been without significant challenges,
we know you are on the right track and fully support your efforts to grow the Company to the next level. Knowing you as I do, I believe we both possess similar conviction to the opportunity that
exists within Sento and as we continue with our joint efforts, I am highly confident we will ultimately reap the rewards from our hard work. 

With
regard to our conversation and verbal agreement, this letter outlines the continuing engagement of RCG as exclusive Financial Relations Consultants to Sento Corporation. 

Referencing paragraph (a) Financial Relations Compensation Attachment of such Agreement, Sento agrees to continue paying RCG $6,500 as Base Cash Compensation, payable monthly
for services rendered along with reimbursement of expenses as described and detailed in the original engagement agreement dated May 16, 2001.

Referencing paragraph (c) of the Financial Relations Compensation Attachment, the equity compensation and other option elements shall remain as per the terms and conditions of
the original engagement agreement and as amended on November 19, 2001.

Upon
your affirmation of this amendment, both RCG and Sento acknowledge and agree to renew the original agreement as detailed in this letter and that all other terms, provisions and conditions of the
original engagement agreement shall remain in effect and shall continue to govern the on-going consulting relationship between RCG and Sento Corporation for an engagement term of six (6) months
commencing July 1, 2002. 

Additionally,
as I mentioned when we spoke, we firmly believe it would be beneficial for us to get together as soon as your schedule permits. Our objective is to detail some of the specifics we have
in mind regarding the campaign for the remainder of the year as well as rework the PowerPoint road show presentation. We anticipate much more effort will be expended toward getting you in front of new
contacts on a face-to-face basis and as you would suspect, this will require considerable planning and coordination of schedules to make it happen. We would like to have yourself and any other members
of your management team you deem appropriate to spend a full day at RCG to finalize our planning for at least the remainder of the year. We have tentatively penciled into the calendar July 25th or the
26th. Please let us know as soon as possible if that would work with schedule. 

Thanks
again for the opportunity to continue representing Sento to the professional investment community. As I previously mentioned, everyone at the firm continues to be enthusiastic about securing
new sponsorship as the Company makes the anticipated progress into 2003 and beyond. 

Sincerely,

/s/  A. MAX RAMRAS
