                  (currency of the United Mexican States), as detailed in Annex
                  1.

         (ii)     According to Section 10 of the MAIN AGREEMENT, the [**]% of
                  the invoiced amount less taxes is equal to MXP$[**] (currency

                  (a)      AVANTEL shall destine the abovementioned amount in
                           the amounts, time and manner detailed as follows:

                           o        AVANTEL will buy advertising from AOL in the

                                    2003 and ending on December 2004.

                           o        The balance of the [**]% (MXP$[**])
                                    accumulated from July 2000 until December
                                    2002, will be included as a discount in
                                    AVANTEL's monthly invoices for dedicated
                                    ports rendered under the MAIN AGREEMENT.
                                    SUCH DISCOUNTS SHALL BE MADE ON A MONTHLY

<PAGE>

                                    BASIS BETWEEN January 2003 to December 2004
                                    in the amount of MXP$[**] (currency of the
                                    United Mexican States).

         (iii)    In addition, for calendar years 2003 and 2004 the obligation
                  AVANTEL assumed under section 10 of the MAIN AGREEMENT will be
                  fulfilled as follows:

                  (a)      AVANTEL and AOL agreed on December 2002 a forecast of
                           the service under the MAIN AGREEMENT that shall be
                           invoiced by AVANTEL to AOL. Such amount is up to
                           approximately MXP$[**] (currency of the United
                           Mexican States).

                  (b)      After applying the [**]% mentioned on section 10 of
                           the MAIN AGREEMENT, the result is equal to MXP$[**]
                           (currency of the United Mexican States); this amount
                           will be divided by 12, and the monthly applicable
                           discount to be made by AVANTEL from January to
                           November 2003 will be for MXP$[**] (currency of the
                           United Mexican States). The discount set forth in the
                           Section (iii)(b) shall be in addition to the discount
                           provided for under Section (ii)(a) above.

                  (c)      On November 2003, AVANTEL and AOL will revise the
                           projected monthly discounts against the real
                           discounts that should have been done during the
                           preceeding months, and a final adjustment will be
                           made on December 2003.

                  (d)      The same procedure will be done for the year 2004,
                           and the corresponding discounts shall be in addition
                           to the discounts provided for under Section (ii)(a)
                           above..

In case AVANTEL does not include the discount in the AOL invoices issued during
2003 and 2004 under sections (ii) and (iii) of this letter agreement, AVANTEL
expressly authorizes AOL to subsctract the amount of the corresponding discount
directly for the corresponded invoice; this action will not be considered as a
breach of the payment obligations AOL has under the provisions of the MAIN
AGREEMENT.

Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this letter agreement shall be
deemed to waive or modify any of the provisions of the MAIN AGREEMENT, or any
amendment or addendum thereto. Except as provided in this letter agreement and
in the port cancellation letter agreement of the same date, all other terms and
conditions of the MAIN AGREEMENT shall remain in full force and effect, and the
parties hereto acknowledge that such terms and conditions are in full force and
effect as of the date hereof. This letter agreement may be executed in Spanish
and English, provided however that the Spanish version shall always prevail in
the event of any disputes concerning this letter agreement.

                  as are executed from time to time by both Parties to this
                  Agreement (the "Schedules"). Each Schedule shall be

                  shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of this
                  Agreement and the applicable Schedule.

         1.2      SCOPE OF WORK. Each Schedule shall contain a description of
                  the tasks to be performed by Consultant, the deliverables and

                  that either Party shall have any right, power or authority to
                  enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, or incur any
                  obligation or liability on behalf of, or to otherwise bind,
                  the other Party. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or
                  construed to create an employment relationship, an
                  association, agency, joint venture or partnership between the
                  Parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a

                  Agreement. The account(s) shall be of the type determined by

                  hereunder. Consultant shall be responsible for any premium
                  charges, transaction charges, communication surcharges or

<PAGE>

                  then-applicable Terms of Service. Upon termination of this
                  Agreement, the account(s), and any associated usage credits
                  and related screen names or similar rights, shall
                  automatically terminate. AOL shall have no liability for loss
                  of data or content related to termination of any account.

         3.4      SOFTWARE TOOLS. AOL shall provide each Programmer with such
                  proprietary software tools (each a "Tool") as AOL determines
                  are reasonably necessary for such Programmer to perform
                  Consultant's obligations hereunder , which tools shall be made
                  available to the Programmers solely in order for Consultant to
                  perform its duties hereunder. Consultant shall be granted a
                  nonexclusive license to use any such Tool, which license shall
                  be subject to: (i) Consultant's compliance with all rules and
                  regulations relating to use of the Tools, as published from
                  time to time by AOL, (ii) AOL's right to withdraw or modify
                  such license at any time (and provide a replacement Tool, if
                  AOL determines such replacement tool is reasonably necessary
                  for such Programmer to perform Consultant's obligations
                  hereunder and a replacement AOL proprietary software tool
                  exists and is provided to AOL programmers), and (iii)
                  Consultant's express recognition that AOL provides all Tools
                  on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind. Subject
                  to the two preceding sentences, AOL shall provide the

                  the extent the foregoing tools have not been rolled out to AOL
                  programmers, such tools shall be provided to relevant
                  Programmers when they are made available to AOL programmers.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Programmer is
                  unable to fulfill a specific Consultant obligation hereunder
                  as a result of AOL's not providing a Tool which is necessary
                  for the fulfillment of such obligation, Consultant shall be
                  relieved of its obligation to perform such obligation until
                  such time as the necessary Tool is provided by AOL.

         3.5      REPORTS. Consultant will have access to systems that will
                  produce reports specifying the prior month's aggregate usage

                   SCHEDULE NO. 1 DATED FEBRUARY 22, 2003 TO
                        AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
                                     BETWEEN
           AMERICA ONLINE, INC. AND AMERICA ONLINE LATIN AMERICA, INC.
                 DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 22, 2003 (THE "AGREEMENT")

                                  SCOPE OF WORK

1.       Detailed description of services to be rendered by Consultant:

         GENERAL. Consultant shall program AOL's multi-topic Content and
         services interactive area for the US Hispanic audience currently
         available at AOL Keyword: Latino on the America Online(R) brand
         proprietary service (the "AOL Latino") under the direction of
         AOL-designated personnel ("AOL Managers") in the manner set forth in
         this Schedule 1.

         Hosting: AOL Latino shall be hosted by AOL and all costs associated
         therewith born by AOL.

         CONTENT. Consultant will provide access until December 31, 2003 to
         EFE's news services in English and Spanish and content feeds in Spanish
         and English targeted specifically to Hispanics in the United States
         (the "EFE Content"). Consultant will use commercially reasonable
         efforts to secure access to the EFE Content from January 1, 2004
         through February 21, 2004 (the "Extension Period"). In the event
         Consultant is unable to secure access to the EFE Content on similar
         material terms as provided for in its existing agreement with EFE,
         Consultant shall notify AOL thereof. If the EFE Content can be secured
         at an increased price (i.e., increase over current price), AOL shall
         have the option of paying the increase in the price and Consultant
         shall enter into the agreement with EFE for the Extension Period. If
         AOL chooses not to exercise such option (or if the EFE Content can only
         be secured on worse material non-price terms), Consultant shall be
         relieved of its obligation to provide access to the EFE Content. If
         Consultant does not secure access to the EFE Content for the Extension
         Period, the fee payable to Consultant by AOL for the Extension Period
         shall be reduced by the amount of thirteen thousand two hundred
         ninety-two dollars ($13,292).

         To the extent any links are established by the Programmers between AOL
         Latino and any interactive site of Consultant or its Subsidiaries
         ("AOLA Website") and any Content within an AOLA Website is used by the
         Programmers within AOL Latino in connection with such links, in each
         case as determined by Consultant (AOL may suggest such links but the
         final determination whether to link shall be made by Consultant in its
         sole discretion), Consultant hereby grants AOL a worldwide license for
         so long as such links are maintained to distribute, display, and
         promote such AOLA Websites and Content through AOL Latino.

         STAFFING. Consultant shall be responsible for, and shall provide the
         personnel (the "Programmers") to perform, the programming functions set
         forth in Attachment 1 ("Programming Functions"). The Parties shall
         agree on the initial staff and AOL will have the right to approve or
         disapprove reasonably any additions to such staff, including without
         limitation, temporary staff to replace staff members on extended leave
         (i.e., greater than one week). AOL shall respond promptly to any staff
         approval request made by Consultant. The Programmers shall be employees

                                       6

         of Consultant and Consultant will manage all human relations aspects of
         such relationships. In the event any of the Programmers take an
         extended leave (e.g., greater than one week), Consultant shall replace
         such Programmer. The Programmers shall report to, follow the direction
         of the Consultant Project Manager, who shall take direction from the
         AOL Manager in all programming matters and in the performance of all
         Programming Functions. The Consultant shall ensure that the Programmers
         follow the programming requirements set forth in Attachment 2
         ("Programming Requirements"). Any material failure to follow the
         Programming Requirements shall constitute a material breach of
         contract.

                  Development Lead (as defined below) and receives the revenue
                  share set forth in Paragraph 9B below, AOL shall be entitled
                  to one hundred percent (100%) of Advertising Revenues until
                  AOL receives three million two hundred fifty thousand dollars
                  ($3,250,000) in Advertising Revenues ("Advertising
                  Threshold"). Once the Advertising Threshold is met, but
                  subject to the revenue share cap set forth in Paragraph 9C,
                  Consultant shall be entitled to twenty percent (20%), of all
                  Advertising Revenues which exceed the Advertising Threshold.
                  As used herein, (i) Advertising Revenues" shall mean aggregate
                  amounts collected plus the fair market value of any other
                  compensation received (such as barter advertising) by AOL or
                  AOL's agents, as the case may be, arising from the license or
                  sale of AOL Advertisements, less applicable Advertising Sales
                  Commissions, and (ii) "Advertising Sales Commissions" shall
                  mean actual amounts paid as commission to third party agencies
                  in connection with sale of the AOL Advertisement.

                  all Advertising Revenues generated by deals in which
                  Consultant is the Business Development Lead. For avoidance of
                  doubt, the sixty-five percent (65%) revenue share received by
                  AOL pursuant to this Paragraph 9B shall be counted toward the
                  Advertising Threshold.

         C.       REVENUE SHARE CAP. Once Consultant receives one million
                  dollars ($1,000,000) in revenue share, whether earned under
                  Paragraph 9A or 9B above, Consultant will no longer be
                  entitled to a revenue share under Paragraph 9A above. Once

                  revenue share, whether earned under Paragraphs 9A or 9B above,
                  Consultant will no longer be entitled to a revenue share under

         D.       Business Development Lead.

                  (i) Consultant may provide AOL with a written prospect list of
                  potential advertisers ("Prospect List"), from time to time
                  (which list may be provided by email), with specific brand(s)
                  to be targeted for Advertisements on AOL Latino. AOL will have

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  the right to approve the Prospect List and only those entities
                  approved by AOL will be on the approved list (the "Target
                  List"). AOL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
                  respond to all requests from Consultant to include a potential
                  advertiser/brand(s) on the Target list within five (5)
                  business days; if AOL does not respond within such timeframe,
                  such request shall be deemed not approved and such
                  advertiser/brand(s) shall not be placed on the Target List
                  (unless later approved to by AOL). If a potential
                  advertiser/brand(s) is not approved by AOL and therefore is
                  not placed on the Target List, Consultant may resubmit the
                  same potential advertiser/brand(s) for inclusion on the Target
                  List after a period of three (3) months after the last time
                  Consultant submitted the potential advertiser/brand(s) for
                  possible inclusion on the Target List.

                  (ii) in the event the Parties mutually agree or in the event
                  that AOL is not in active discussions to close a deal with a
                  potential advertiser on the Target List for the specified
                  brand(s) ninety (90) days after being placed on the Target
                  List, such potential advertiser/brand(s) shall be deleted from
                  the Target List.

                  (iii) while a potential advertiser/brand(s) is on the Target
                  List, AOL will not approach such advertiser about advertising
                  the specific brand identified on the Target List on AOL Latino
                  unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

                  (iv) Consultant will be responsible for developing the
                  business relationship with entities on the Target List and
                  will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure a
                  preliminary advertising commitment from each such entity.
                  Consultant shall report to AOL on a bi-weekly basis to update
                  AOL on the status of such relationships and shall use
                  commercially reasonable efforts to assist the AOL-designated
                  sales lead to close the deal with each such entity; provided
                  that to the extent that there are no advertisers on the Target
                  List, Consultant shall have no obligation to report to AOL on
                  a bi-weekly basis. As used herein, "Business Development Lead"
                  shall mean that Consultant has complied with the foregoing
                  requirements of this clause (iv); provided that, failure to
                  provide more than one bi-weekly report in any three month
                  timeframe shall not prevent Consultant from earning a revenue
                  share hereunder.

                  (v) AOL shall have no obligation to enter into any agreement
                  with any potential advertiser referred to it by Consultant;
                  provided that, (a) AOL shall negotiate in good faith with such
                  potential advertiser to reach agreement with respect to the
                  specified brand, and (b) in the event AOL enters into an
                  agreement with such Advertiser for the specified brand within
                  three (3) months after such advertiser is removed from the
                  Target List under clause (ii) above, Consultant shall be
                  entitled to a revenue share of 35% under Paragraph 9B in
                  accordance with the terms of this Section 9; provided that
                  Consultant shall only be obligated to use commercially
                  reasonable efforts to assist AOL in closing such an agreement
                  if so requested by AOL.

         STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT. Consultant shall ensure the Programmers
         adhere to AOL's standards of business conduct which are provided to
         Consultant in writing.

         CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS. Consultant will ensure that the Programmers
         and all employees that provide services to AOL pursuant to this
         Schedule 1 sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement in a
         form reasonably satisfactory to AOL which enforce the confidentiality
         provisions of this Agreement.

         TERMINATION. AOL may terminate this Agreement and Schedule any time on
         or after June 21, 2003 upon two (2) months prior written notice thereof
         to Consultant (i.e., the earliest termination date is August 20, 2003).
         In such event, AOL will pay Consultant a termination fee of one hundred

                                       9
<PAGE>

         twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) within thirty (30) days after
         the termination date. Consultant may assume that AOL does not plan to
         enter into negotiations to renew this Schedule if AOL does not notify
         Consultant of such desire at least sixty (60) days prior to the
         expiration of the term of this Schedule.

                              Programming Functions

AOL Latino currently consists of a series of content and community areas aimed
at the Hispanic population living in the US and servicing AOL US members. The
vast majority of AOL Latino content areas are published in Spanish with limited
English-language content. The Spanish areas of AOL Latino are intended to cover
general topics of interest, while the English areas of Latino are programmed
focusing on topics of interest specific to the Latin community. AOL Latino
programming will be complementary to the AOL service's English language
programming.

Primary focus of AOL Latino will be on:

News, Sports, Entertainment, Music, Features, Latino Welcome Screens & Community
areas

Consultant shall be responsible for continuing to publish AOL Latino under
similar production parameters currently in place, but following the direction of
the AOL Manager. Under direction of the AOL Manager, production processes and
workflow will be modified to enhance productivity.

AOL Latino programming strategy will be set and modified as necessary by the AOL
in keeping with the business goals of AOL's for the US Hispanic initiative.

Programming strategy, including standards, editorial calendar, look, feel, depth
of programming, and frequency of updates for programming areas will be
determined by the AOL and will evolve in keeping with the general AOL Brand
programming standards, expectations and processes.

Consultant understands and acknowledges that AOL will want, from time to time,
to change the content and direction of AOL Latino. AOL understands and
acknowledges that should AOL wish to significantly increase the amount of areas
or screens produced by Consultant, then AOL and Consultant will agree to a
revised staffing plan and related increase in costs. In the event the average
amount of work to be performed by Consultant hereunder substantially increases
over the average amount of work performed under the Parties' prior Interactive
Services Agreement, effective as of February 22, 2001, AOL will not require
Consultant to perform such additional work hereunder without a mutually agreed
upon revised staffing plan and a related increase in fee.

Overall Roles & Responsibilities

To the extent that AOL does not provide the direction set forth in the next
paragraph (entitled "AOL"), third party Content, the tools in Section 3.4 which
are necessary for the Programmers to perform Consultant's obligations hereunder,
studio support consisting of production and photo editing, access to special
areas (i.e., Keyword and search requests, Plus number requests and Magic number
requests) and/or access to updated HTML and Rainman code (as provided to AOL
programmers) necessary for the Programmers to perform Consultant's obligations
hereunder and such failure to provide such direction, items or access prevents
the performance of specific Programmer functions related to such direction,
items or access, Consultant will not be in breach of this Agreement for failure
to perform such functions. AOL shall provide the Programmers with copies of
third party content agreements for AOL Latino and any deal summaries prepared by
AOL in connection therewith. In the event the Programmers have questions about
the scope of the licenses or any restrictions set forth in such agreements, such
Programmers or another representative of Consultant may contact an AOL employee
for clarification. Any questions submitted to an AOL employee in accordance with
the foregoing shall be responded to within a reasonable timeframe and Consultant
shall be under no obligation to utilize any Content in question until such

                                       11

I.  RIGHTS IN AOL PROPERTY/TRADEMARKS

NO OWNERSHIP OR LICENSE. Nothing in this Agreement shall convey to Consultant
any right, license, title, interest in and to the Work (as defined below), the
AOL" look and feel", or any other AOL property, property interest, license or
right.

trade name, trademark or service mark, except as is necessary for the
performance of the Consulting Services.

II.  CONFIDENTIALITY/PROPRIETARY RIGHTS/ SECURITY
     TRADING

CONFIDENTIALITY. During the Term, and for a period of two (2) years following
expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party agrees that it will take
reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to
protect its own proprietary information, to prevent the duplication or
disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party, other than by or to
its employees or agents who must have access to such Confidential Information to
perform such party's obligations hereunder, who will each agree to comply with
this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may issue a press
release or other disclosure containing Confidential Information without the
consent of the other party, to the extent such disclosure is required by law,
rule, regulation or government or court order. In such event, the disclosing
party will provide at least five (5) business days prior written notice of such
proposed disclosure to the other party. Further, in the event such disclosure is
required of either party under the laws, rules or regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission or any other applicable governing body, such party will
(i) redact mutually agreed-upon portions of this Agreement to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable laws, rules and regulations and (ii) submit a request
to such governing body that such portions and other provisions of this Agreement
receive confidential treatment under the laws, rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise be held in the strictest
confidence to the fullest extent permitted under the laws, rules or regulations
of any other applicable governing body. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" shall mean any information relating to or disclosed
in the course of the Agreement, which is or should be reasonably understood by
the receiving party to be confidential or proprietary to the disclosing party,
including, but not limited to, the terms of the Agreement, any and all
information collected by AOL in connection with a user's registration for any
service on the AOL Network and any and all AOL Member Information, product
designs, sales, cost and other unpublished information, product and business
plans, and marketing data. "Confidential Information" will not include
information (a) already lawfully known to or independently developed by the
receiving party, (b) disclosed in published materials, (c) generally known to
the public, (d) lawfully obtained from any third party; or (e) expressly
permitted to be disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Unless otherwise specified in a Schedule, all work, services
and materials performed or created under any Schedule, by the Programmers or
Consultant, excluding third party Content therein ("Work"), including, but not
limited to, (i) names, characters, protectible organizational structures, "look
and feel", other "brand" components, (ii) all materials, writings, products,
deliverables developed or prepared for AOL by the Programmers or Consultant
under such Schedule (whether or not such Schedule is completed) (collectively,
"Materials") and (iii) any and all new or improved idea, design, concept, or
other invention made or developed by the Programmers or Consultant during the
course of rendering the Consulting Services or developing or preparing the
Materials (collectively, "Invention"), are the property of AOL and all title and
interest therein shall vest in AOL and shall be deemed to be a work made for
hire and made in the course of Consulting Services rendered hereunder.
Consultant shall promptly and completely disclose to AOL in writing any and all
Inventions. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, Work
shall not include any work, services, Materials, Inventions or Content developed
or licensed by Consultant for use in any product, service or property owned,

                                       17
<PAGE>

operated or distributed by Consultant or any of its wholly-owned direct or
indirect subsidiaries ("Consultant Property"). In the event any Consultant
Property is included within the Work, Consultant hereby grants AOL a worldwide
license to use (but not modify or sublicense) such Consultant Property within
Latino; until such time as the foregoing License has been terminated by
Consultant upon reasonable notice to AOL.

To the extent that title to any Works may not, by operation of law, vest in AOL
or such Works may not be considered works made for hire, Consultant hereby
irrevocably assigns to AOL all right, title and interest in and to any Work,
including but not limited to any and all Materials and Inventions. All Works,
including but not limited to Materials and Inventions, shall belong exclusively
to AOL, and AOL shall have the right to obtain and to hold in its own name,
copyrights, registrations, patents, or such other protection as may be
appropriate to the subject matter, and any extensions and renewals thereof.
Consultant agrees to give AOL and any person designated by AOL such reasonable
assistance, at AOL's request and expense, as is required to perfect, secure and
protect AOL's intellectual property and other rights set forth in this Section,
including but not limited to executing all documents necessary to perfect,
secure and protect such rights.

Unless otherwise requested by AOL, upon the completion of the services to be
performed under each Schedule or upon the earlier termination of such Schedule,
Consultant shall immediately turn over to AOL all Work, including without
limitation, any and all Materials and Inventions, developed pursuant to such
Schedule.

SECURITIES TRADING POLICY. Consultant agrees that the Programmers and any
Consultant employee with access to material, non-public information of AOL
provided as a result of this Agreement, for the term of this Agreement and for
as long thereafter as such information remains material to AOL and non-public,
will comply with terms of AOL's securities trading policy (the "Securities
Policy"), a copy of which shall be be provided to Consultant, as revised from
time to time, to the same extent as employees of AOL are obligated to comply
with the Securities Policy.

(a) SOLICITATION OF SUBSCRIBERS. (i) During the term of this Agreement and for a
two year period thereafter, Consultant will not use the AOL Network (including,
without limitation, the e-mail network contained therein) to solicit AOL Members

send unsolicited, commercial e-mail (i.e., "spam") or other online
communications through or into AOL's products or services, absent a Prior

contest, registration, or other communication, which included clear notice to
the AOL Member that the information provided could result in commercial e-mail
or other online communications being sent to that AOL Member by Consultant or
its agents. Any commercial e-mail or other online communications to AOL Members
which are otherwise permitted hereunder will (x) include a prominent and easy
means to "opt-out" of receiving any future commercial communications from
Consultant and (y) shall also be subject to AOL's then-standard restrictions on
distribution of bulk e-mail (e.g., related to the time and manner in which such
e-mail can be distributed through or into the AOL product or service in
question).

(ii) Consultant shall ensure that its collection, use and disclosure of
information obtained from AOL Members under this Agreement ("Member
Information") complies with (A) all applicable laws and regulations and (B)
AOL's standard privacy policies, available on the AOL Service at the keyword
term "Privacy". Except to the extent required by law, rule, regulation or

                                       18
<PAGE>

government or court order, Consultant will not disclose Member Information
collected hereunder to any third party in a manner that identifies AOL Members
as end users of an AOL product or service or use Member Information collected
under this Agreement to market another Interactive Service.

(b) EMAIL NEWSLETTERS. Any email newsletters sent to AOL Members by Consultant
or its agents shall (i) be subject to AOL's policies on use of the email
functionality, including but not limited to AOL's policy on unsolicited bulk
email, (ii) be sent only to AOL Members requesting to receive such newsletters,
(iii) not contain Content which violates AOL's Terms of Service, and (iv) not
contain any advertisements, marketing or promotion for any other Interactive
Service.

(ii) any other product, service or property owned, operated, distributed or
authorized to be distributed by or through AOL or its Affiliates (other than

(including any sub-accounts under an authorized master account) of the AOL
Service. "AOL SERVICE" SHALL MEAN The standard narrow-band U.S. version of the
America Online(R) brand service.

Party and the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, distributors, franchisees
and employees of the other Party from any and all third party claims, demands,

("Liabilities"), resulting from the indemnifying Party's material breach or
alleged breach of any obligation, representation, or warranty of this Agreement.

related documentation. In addition, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless AOL, its officers, directors, agents, affiliates, distributors,
franchisees and employees from any and all Liabilities resulting from (a) actual
or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, or other property right
(including, but not limited to, misappropriation of trade secrets)based on any

EXCUSE. Neither Party shall be liable for, or be considered in breach of or

beyond such Party's reasonable control and which such Party is unable to
overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence.

paragraph of this Agreement.

NO WAIVER. The failure of either Party to insist upon or enforce strict
performance by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise
any right under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment to any extent of such Party's right to assert or rely upon any
such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather, the same shall be
and remain in full force and effect.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and supersedes
any and all prior agreements of the Parties with respect to the transactions set
forth herein. Neither Party shall be bound by, and each Party specifically
objects to, any term, condition or other provision which is different from or in
addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not it would materially
alter this Agreement) and which is proffered by the other Party in any
correspondence or other document, unless the Party to be bound thereby
specifically agrees to such provision in writing.

AMENDMENT. No change, amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the

reasonably be requested by AOL for the implementation or continuing performance
of this Agreement.

event a Programmer leaves the employment of Consultant or is otherwise unable to
perform its functions hereunder, for any reason, Consultant may hire a third
party consultant as reasonably approved by AOL in accordance with Exhibit A to
perform the functions of such Programmer until such time (but in no event more

                                       20
<PAGE>

than 90 days) as a replacement can be obtained.

this Agreement, (i) such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as
nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with
applicable law, and (ii) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, USA, but without giving effect to its laws or rules
relating to conflicts of laws, the Uniform Commercial Code, or the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To permit
the enforcement of judgments entered under this Section 16 and the application
of judicial injunctive relief as permitted hereunder, each Party consents to the
jurisdiction of the courts in the place where such judgment enforcement or
injunctive relief is sought. Each Party waives any objection it otherwise may
have to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

(b) (i) Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, any claims or
disputes arising under, in connection with, or by reason of the relationships
contemplated under, this Agreement and any subsequent amendments thereof,
including all controversies which may arise between the Parties concerning any
transaction pursuant to this Agreement, the construction, performance or breach
of this Agreement or any accounting hereunder, as well as non-contractual
claims, shall first be escalated to the VP of Business Development, AOL
Interactive Services, currently Greg Rigdon, fax. no 703-265-2997, and the Vice
President, AOL Services and Business Affairs of Consultant for prompt
resolution. In the event such executives are unable to resolve the matter over a
period of thirty (30) days, or such different period to which the Parties may
agree, it shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in
accordance with the then applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Rules")
of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in effect at the time of
commencement of such arbitration, as modified below or by mutual consent of the
parties to such arbitration, and by the majority vote of a tribunal of
arbitrators (the "Tribunal") as set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, the
procedural rules of the Inter-American Convention on International Commercial
Arbitration (the "Panama Convention") shall not apply to the proceedings of the
Tribunal.

         (ii) The Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, all of whom
shall be experienced legal practitioners having at least ten (10) years of
experience in advising clients with respect to computer or media-related
technology and international joint ventures, provided that if any party objects
to the qualifications of any arbitrator, such objection must be made within ten
(10) days of appointment of such arbitrator or it shall be waived. One
arbitrator shall be appointed by AOL, one arbitrator shall be appointed by
Consultant, and the third by the two so appointed. If any such Party shall fail
to make an appointment within sixty (60) days after the initiation of
arbitration or if the first two arbitrators shall fail to appoint a third
arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date of the later to occur of their
appointments, the appointment of such arbitrator shall be made by the AAA,
provided that the arbitrator so chosen meets the qualifications set forth in
this Section. The arbitrators shall be compensated for their services at a rate
to be determined by the parties or by the AAA but based upon normal and
reasonable hourly or daily consulting rates for the neutral arbitrator in the
event the parties are not able to agree upon his or her rate of compensation.

                                       21
<PAGE>

         (iii) Any arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be held in New York,
New York. All such proceedings and all communications (written or oral)
including any evidence submitted to the Tribunal, shall be in the English
language. The Tribunal shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal
remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted to
resolve a disputed matter. The Tribunal shall have the power to order that no
Party shall take any action inconsistent with this Agreement, and each Party
shall continue to perform under this Agreement for the time the arbitration
procedure is pending. However, the Tribunal shall not have the power to alter,
amend or otherwise affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the
provisions of the Agreement. The ruling and award of the Tribunal shall be final
and binding to the maximum extent allowed by the laws applied to this Agreement,
provided that the rules of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods shall not apply, and provided further, that the
Tribunal may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not
conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         (iv) This agreement to arbitrate shall be without prejudice to the
right of the Parties to seek preliminary injunctive, interim, or other form of
provisional equitable relief in any court or any judicial authority which has
jurisdiction over the parties and/or the subject matter of the controversy.
During the arbitration, each Party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and its
own costs and expenses (including filing fees) and one-half of the total
arbitrators', translators', and other administrative fees of arbitration
("Costs"), provided, however, that the award made by the Tribunal shall include
an award of Costs, in favor of the "prevailing party," as determined by the
Tribunal. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the Parties or their assets.

         (v) All testimony of witnesses at any arbitration proceeding held
pursuant to these provisions shall be taken under oath, and shall be governed by
the rules of evidence as set forth under the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence and
judicial interpretations thereof. The parties shall be entitled to conduct
discovery proceedings in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. For any claim submitted to arbitration, the burden of proof shall be
as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding. Upon the
conclusion of any arbitration proceedings, hereunder, the arbitrators shall
render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a written opinion setting
forth the basis and reasons for any decision reached by them and shall deliver
such documents to each Party to this Agreement along with a signed copy of the
award. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction of the subject matter thereof. Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, arbitration shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputed matter.

EXPORT CONTROLS. Both Parties shall adhere to all applicable laws, regulations
and rules relating to the export of technical data and shall not export or
re-export any technical data, any products received from the other Party or the
direct product of such technical data to any proscribed country listed in such
applicable laws, regulations and rules unless properly authorized.

PUBLICITY. Consultant agrees that it will not, without AOL's prior approval, use
in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of AOL in connection with this
Agreement, or refer to the existence of this Agreement in press releases;
provided that subsequent to any press release announcing the entering into of
this Agreement, factual references by Consultant to the existence of this
Agreement shall not require the approval of AOL. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Consultant may issue press releases and other disclosures as required by law,
rule, regulation or court order or as reasonably advised by legal counsel
without the consent of AOL.

LIMITATIONS. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE,
WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT),
TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE,

                                       22
<PAGE>

EVEN IF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR
DAMAGE IN ADVANCE. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE "INDEMNITY" SECTION, THE MAXIMUM
LIABILITY OF ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID TO CONSULTANT
HEREUNDER.

HEADINGS. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and
the same document.

SURVIVING SECTIONS. The following sections shall survive the termination of this
Agreement: 2.2 ("Independent Contractor"); 2.3 ("Consultant's Employees and
Assistants"); 4.6 ("Taxes") of this Agreement and this Exhibit B.
