            II.   RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES.

                  A.    During the Term,  the Parties shall  cooperate with each
      other to identify  certain  Programs,  that are  currently  offered by one
      Party through its facilities but not by the other Party,  that the Parties
      mutually agree would be in their respective best interests

<PAGE>

      to also make available through the other Party's facilities as a satellite
      program ("SATELLITE PROGRAM").

                  B.    For each Program identified  pursuant to Paragraph II. A
      above,   the  Parties   shall   complete  and  sign  a  separate   Program
      specification (each a "PROGRAM SPECIFICATION" ) which shall reference this
      Agreement, and each such signed Program Specification shall be attached as
      an Exhibit to this  Agreement and become a part of this  Agreement.  It is
      understood, however, that neither Party is obligated to license the use of
      a Program or any Content to the other Party until, unless, and only to the
      extent that a Program Specification is signed by both Parties.

                  C.    Each Program  Specification  shall describe the Program,
      the  responsibilities  of each  of the  Parties  in  connection  with  the
      Satellite Program  ("RESPONSIBILITIES"),  any Content,  to be delivered to
      the other Party in connection with the Satellite Program ("DELIVERABLES"),

      with the  schedules  set forth in the  Program  Specification.  Each party
      recognizes that time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of this
      agreement and the subject matter hereof.

            III.  GRANT OF LICENSE.

                  A.    Subject to the terms and  conditions of this  Agreement,
      each of the Parties shall grant the other Party a limited,  non-exclusive,
      non-transferable,  world-wide license  ("LICENSE") to use any Content that
      it provides to the other Party pursuant to this  Agreement,  solely to the
      extent expressly set forth in the applicable  Program  Specification  (the
      "INTENDED  USE").  All  fields of use not  expressly  included  within the
      Intended Use are specifically  excluded from the scope of the License.  In
      no event will a Party remove or alter any proprietary  notice of the other
      Party, or any third party,  contained on or any of the Content without the
      prior written consent of the Party that provided such Content.

            IV.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  A.    Confidential  Information.   "CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION"

      this  Agreement,  Confidential  Information  shall  not  include,  and the
      obligations  provided  hereunder shall not apply to, information that: (a)
      is now or subsequently  becomes generally  available to the public through
      no fault of the recipient; (b) recipient can demonstrate was rightfully in
      its   possession   prior  to  disclosure  by  the  other  party;   (c)  is
      independently   developed  by  the  recipient   without  the  use  of  any
      Confidential  Information  provided  by the  other  party;  (d)  recipient

<PAGE>

      without  obligation  to the other  party,  to transfer  or  disclose  such
      information; or (e) is released or approved for release by the other party
      without restriction.

                  B.    Care and Protection.  Each party shall protect the other
      party's Confidential  Information using at least the same standard of care
      that  applies to its own similar  Confidential  Information,  but not less
      than a reasonable standard of care.

                  C.    Exceptions.  Either party may disclose the other party's
      Confidential  Information  as  required  by any  order  of any  government
      authority,  or  otherwise as required by law, or as necessary to establish
      and enforce that party's rights under this  Agreement.  Before  disclosing
      the other party's  Confidential  Information for such purpose,  reasonable
      effort  must be made to notify the other party of the  circumstances,  and
      the parties shall  cooperate with each other to obtain  protection for the
      confidentiality thereof to the extend available.

                  D.    Term of  Confidentiality.  Each  party's  obligation  to
      protect the other party's  Confidential  Information shall expire five (5)
      years after the date of each respective disclosure thereof.

            All of the  provisions  of  this  paragraph  IV  shall  survive  any
termination of this Agreement.

            V.    OWNERSHIP

                  A.    Each party acknowledges and agrees that it does not have
      any  claim,   right,  title  or  interest  in  or  to  the  other  party's
      Intellectual Property except as explicitly provided herein.  Further, each
      party  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  it  will  use  the  other  party's
      Intellectual  Property solely as expressly  permitted under this Agreement
      and  in a  manner  consistent  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this
      Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement will give either party any
      right,  title or interest in or to any Intellectual  Property of the other
      party,  except for the limited rights expressly  granted  hereunder.  Each
      party acknowledges and agrees that the other party (and its licensors,  if
      applicable) has complete  authority to control the use of its Intellectual
      Property.  Nothing in this Agreement  contemplates the joint  development,
      joint  works  of  authorship,  or  joint  ownership  of  any  Intellectual
      Property,  and this Agreement  shall not be construed so as to effect such
      joint  development,  joint works of authorship or joint ownership.  If the
      parties desire to engage in any joint development efforts during the Term,
      the ownership rights of such developments will be established in a writing
      signed  by an  authorized  member  of  each  party  and  amended  to  this
      Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, any Content provided by Sonoma
      to CCAH pursuant to the Agreement ("SONOMA CONTENT"),  the Sonoma Platform
      and all associated  Intellectual Property rights are, and will remain, the
      sole and exclusive property of Sonoma or its third-party licensors, and no
      license,  right, title, interest in and/or to the Sonoma Content or Sonoma
      Platform  is  granted  to CCAH  except  as set  forth  in this  Agreement.
      Likewise, any Content provided by CCAH to Sonoma pursuant to the Agreement
      ("CCAH CONTENT") and all associated  intellectual property rights are, and
      will  remain,  the sole and  exclusive  property of CCAH,  and no license,
      right, title,  interest in and/or to the CCAH Content is granted to Sonoma
      except as set forth in this Agreement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            All  of the  provisions  of  this  paragraph  V  shall  survive  any
termination of this Agreement.

            VI.   FEES, PAYMENT AND RELATED MATTERS.

                  A.    All tuition  and all other fees  payable by or on behalf
      of a student in connection  with a Satellite  Program  (collectively,  the
      "TUITION   FEES"),   shall  be  collected  by  the  Party  that  maintains
      administration  and  academic  oversight  of  the  Satellite  Program  and
      associated Program as set forth in the Program Specification (the "PROGRAM
      ADMINISTRATOR").  The Parties agree that the Party  collecting the Tuition
      Fees shall pay to the other Party a percentage  (the "FEE  PERCENTAGE") of
      the Net Fees received by the Program  Administrator in connection with the
      Satellite  Program,  such percentage  shall be mutually agreed between the
      Parties and set forth in the applicable Program Specification.  "NET FEES"
      means the Tuition Fees actually received by the Program Administrator less
      any applicable taxes, duties, discounts, refunds or credits, provided that
      any   discounts   or  credits   are  in   accordance   with  the   Program
      Administrator's standard policies.

                  B.    The Program Administrator shall, in its sole discretion,
      determine the amount of Tuition Fee and any other fees that are payable by
      a student enrolled in a Satellite Program;  provided,  however the Tuition
      Fee and any other  fees shall be set forth in the  Program  Specification.
      The Program  Administrator may, in its sole discretion,  amend the Tuition
      Fee; provided,  however,  that it shall not change the Tuition Fee for any
      academic  semester that has already  commenced,  and that it shall provide
      the other Party with sixty (60) days advance notice, in writing,  prior to
      making any such change.

                  C.    Within  twenty (20) days after the end of each  calendar
      month  during the Term,  the Program  Administrator  shall  deliver to the
      other Party the Fee Percentage of the Net Fees together with a certificate
      of a duly authorized and responsible employee of the Program Administrator
      setting forth the Net Fee calculations  during such calendar month and any
      and all other information  necessary for the determination of Tuition Fees
      payable to the other Party under this Agreement.

                  D.    The Parties agree to review the Fee Percentage set forth
      in each  Program  Specification  each  calendar  quarter of the Term.  Any
      amendments to a Fee Percentage  shall not be effective unless it is stated
      in writing and is executed on behalf of each Party.

                  E.    The Program Administrator will keep such records as will
      enable the Fees payable hereunder to be accurately determined by the other
      Party. Such records will be retained by the Program Administrator and made
      available to auditors  selected by the other Party for  examination at the
      request and at the expense of the other Party during  reasonable  business
      hours at the  offices  of the  Program  Administrator  as set forth in the
      Program  Specification  for a period of at least five (5) years  after the
      date of the  transactions  to which the records relate.  Any  confidential
      information  obtained  by such  auditors  regarding  the  business  of the
      Program  Administrator shall be held in strict confidence by such auditors
      and the other Party,  except as may be necessary to prosecute an action to
      collect Fees. The Program shall reimburse the other Party for the costs of
      such audit if the

                                       4
<PAGE>

      audit  determines  that the Fees due as stated in any such  certificate is
      understated by more than five percent (5%).

      COPYRIGHTS,  TRADEMARKS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY  PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD
      PARTY.

                  E.    EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN,  EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
      ANY AND ALL  WARRANTIES  OR  GUARANTEES  OF ANY  KIND  WHATSOEVER,  EITHER

      agents and  employees,  from and against any and all loss,  liability  and
      expense  (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  suffered  or  incurred
      (collectively  "DAMAGES")by reason of any third party claims,  proceedings
      or suits based on or arising out of: (i) breach of its representations and
      warranties  hereunder,  or (ii) any  claim for  infringement  of any third
      party  patent,  copyright,  trade secret,  trademark or other  proprietary

      basis.  This section  states each party's  entire right and  liability and
      sole and  exclusive  remedies  with  regard to any  intellectual  property
      infringement.

            All of the  provisions  of this  paragraph  VIII shall  survive  any
termination of this Agreement.

      of material term  (including  obligation to pay) of this  Agreement if the
      breaching  Party  fails to correct or cure the breach  within  thirty (30)
      days after receipt of written notice stating the nature of the breach, the
      non-breaching  Party shall have the option to: (i) continue this Agreement
      until  the end of the  then  current  student  term;  or (ii)  immediately
      terminate this Agreement.

                        (ii)  the other Party is declared insolvent or bankrupt,

      Bankruptcy Act or any amendment to that Act that is not terminated  within
      thirty (30) days.

                  C.    Effect of Termination  for Cause.  Upon  Termination for
      Cause,  the  terminated  Party  shall  indemnify  the other  Party for any
      Damages by reason arising out of such parties breach or insolvency.

                  D.    Effect of Expiration of the Term or Termination  without
      Cause.  Upon  termination  or  expiration of the Term for any reason other
      than for Cause,  all  rights and  obligations  of the  parties  under this
      Agreement  shall be  extinguished,  except that:  (a) all accrued  payment
      obligations  hereunder shall survive such  termination or expiration;  and
      (b) any  provisions  which must  survive in order to give  effect to their

            XI.   MISCELLANEOUS.

                  A.    Any  assignment  by the  Licensee  requires  the written
      consent  of the  Licensor.  Any  transfer  by the  Licensor  of the rights
      licensed  in this  Agreement  shall be  subject to all  provisions  of the
      present Agreement and the Licensor shall so notify the Licensee.

                  B.    The headings and captions used in this Agreement are for
      convenience  only  and are not to be  used in the  interpretation  of this
      Agreement.

                  C.    The failure of either  Party to require  performance  of
      any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right to subsequently
      require the  performance of such or any other provision of this Agreement.
      The  waiver of  either  Party of a breach  of any  provision  shall not be
      deemed to be a waiver of any  subsequent  breach of that  provision or any
      subsequent breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

                  D.    The Parties are  independent  contractors  and engage in
      the  operation of their own  respective  businesses.  Neither Party is the
      agent or employee of the other Party for any purpose  whatsoever.  Nothing
      in this  Agreement  shall be  construed  to  establish a  relationship  of
      co-partners or joint venturers between the two Parties.  Neither Party has
      the authority to enter into any contract or to assume any  obligation  for
      the other Party or to make any warranties or  representations on behalf of
      the other Party.

                  E.    If any provision of this  Agreement is, or is determined
      to be, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all remaining provisions of this
      Agreement  shall  nevertheless  remain in full  force and  effect,  and no
      provision  of this  Agreement  shall be  deemed to be  dependent  upon any
      provision so determined  to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  unless
      otherwise  expressly  provided  for herein.  Should any  provision of this
      Agreement  be found or held to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable,  in
      whole or in part,  such  provision  shall be deemed  amended  to render it
      enforceable in accordance with the spirit and intent of this Agreement

                  F.    This  Agreement has been entered into,  delivered and is
      to be governed by, construed,  interpreted and enforced in accordance with
      the  laws  of  the  State  of  California  (without  giving  reference  to
      choice-of-law provisions) from time to time in effect.

                  G.    If a dispute  arises out of or relates to this Agreement
      and if said dispute  cannot be settled  through  direct  discussions,  the
      Parties  agree to first  endeavor  to settle the  dispute  in an  amicable
      manner by mediation  administered by the American Arbitration  Association
      under its commercial mediation rules of JAMS/Endispute  ("JAMS"), with the
      following exceptions if in conflict: (a) one arbitrator shall be chosen by
      JAMS; (b) each party to the arbitration will pay its pro rata share of the
      expenses and fees of the  arbitrator,  together with other expenses of the
      arbitration  incurred or approved by the

                                       8

      arbitrator; and (c) arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party if
      written  notice  (pursuant  to the  JAMS'  rules and  regulations)  of the
      proceedings  has been given to such party.  The parties  agree to abide by
      all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings.  Such decisions and
      awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive and may be
      entered in any court  having  jurisdiction  thereof as a basis of judgment
      and of the issuance of execution for its  collection.  The Parties  hereby
      consent to the  non-exclusive  jurisdiction  of the courts of the State of
      California or to any Federal Court located  within the State of California
      for any action arising out of,  relating to, or in connection  with,  this
      Agreement,  and to service of  process  in any such  action by  registered
      mail,  return  receipt  requested,  or by any other means provided by law.
      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of
      an arbitration  proceeding or litigation  brought pursuant to the terms of
      this  Agreement,  the  prevailing  Party  shall be entitled to recover all
      costs of such  proceeding or  litigation  (including  reasonable  attorney
      fees) from the other Party.

                  H.    This   Agreement   contains  the  entire  and  exclusive
      agreement  of the  Parties  with  respect  to  its  subject  matter.  This
      Agreement supersedes any agreements and understandings, whether written or
