EXHIBIT 10.4

                                    GUARANTY

         GUARANTY, dated August 22, 2005 (this "Guaranty"), made by Gerald
Gorman, an individual residing in the State of New Jersey ("Guarantor"), in
favor of EasyLink Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Holder").
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such
terms in the Note, Amendment No. 1 or the Agreement, as applicable, referred to
below.

         WHEREAS, the Holder, the Buyer and Gerald Gorman have entered into
Amendment No. 1 (hereinafter, "Amendment No. 1") as of the date hereof to the
Domain Portfolio Purchase Agreement made the 23rd day of December, 2004 (the
"Agreement");

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Amendment No. 1, the Buyer has issued to the
Holder a promissory note in the original principal amount of US$1,130,000 (the
"Note");

         WHEREAS, the Note is secured by a Security Agreement dated as of the
date of hereof; and

         WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the termination pursuant to
Amendment No. 1 of certain rights and obligations under the Agreement and a
related agreement that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this
Guaranty;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
the Holder to consummate the transactions contemplated by Amendment No. 1,
including, without limitation, its acceptance of the Note, and in exchange for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees with the Holder as follows:

1.  Guaranty

         Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment when
due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal
amount of the Note, together with all interest accrued thereon and expenses
relating thereto, including any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) incurred by the Holder in enforcing any rights under the
Note, the Security Agreement and this Guaranty (collectively, the "Guaranteed
Obligations"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor's
liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed
Obligations by the Buyer to the Holder under the Note, the Security Agreement or
any other agreement providing security for the Note (collectively, together with
this Guaranty, the "Loan Documents") even though they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving the Buyer. This is a guaranty of payment and not
collection.

<PAGE>

2. Guaranty Absolute

         Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any
law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Holder with respect thereto.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether
any action is brought against the Buyer or any other guarantor or whether the
Buyer or any other guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:

         (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

         (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document;

         (c) any taking, exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any
security interest in, any collateral under the Security Agreement;

         (d) any manner of application of collateral to all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any
collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of
the Buyer or any of its affiliates;

         (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the limited liability
structure or existence of the Buyer, and any termination of or change in the
relationship between the Buyer and Guarantor; or

         (f) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute
of limitations) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Buyer or a guarantor.

         This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holder upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Buyer or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made. In the event of any such reinstatement, Guarantor
shall re-execute and redeliver all documents, and take all other actions
necessary or appropriate to reinstate this Guaranty in full force and effect and
to effectuate its intent.

         3. Waivers and Agreements

         (a) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice
of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Holder protect,
secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject
thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Buyer or any other
person or any collateral.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         (b) Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that any claim or other rights
that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Buyer or any guarantor of the
Buyer's obligations under the Note that arise from the existence, payment,
performance or enforcement of Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Holder against the Buyer or any such
guarantor or any collateral under the Security Agreement, whether or not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common
law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Buyer
or any such guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim,
remedy or right, shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all amounts due
and owing and the performance of all obligations under the Note and the other
Loan Documents and shall not be made or exercised until the date the Buyer has
indefeasibly paid in full in cash all amounts due and owing under the Note and
the other Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor in violation
of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in full
of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holder and shall
forthwith be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents, or be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations
or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.

         (c) Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing accommodations contemplated by the Loan Documents
and that the waivers set forth in this Section 3 are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.

         4. Payments

         Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any
payments made pursuant to this Guaranty will be paid at the place specified in
the Note for payments in immediately available funds, free and clear of, and
without deduction for, any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions and
withholdings whatsoever imposed, levied, collected or assessed with respect
thereto by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or by any
country or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than
income taxes or franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political
subdivision thereof) strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Loan Documents. If such payments are subject to any such tax, levy, impost,
deduction or withholding, then such payments shall be increased to such amount
which, after provision for such tax, levy, impost, deduction or withholding, is
necessary to yield and remit to the Holder the amount which would have been
received absent such tax, levy, impost, deduction or withholding, and Guarantor
shall furnish the Holder such evidence or certification of making such tax,
levy, impost, deduction or withholding as the Holder may request.

                                       3

         5. Right to Set Off

         Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default and (b) the declaration by the Holder that all amounts owing under the
Note are immediately due and payable or upon an Automatic Acceleration Event,
the Holder is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all funds or
properties at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owning, by or on
behalf of the Holder to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor or
hereafter existing under or in respect of this Guaranty, irrespective of whether
the Holder shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Holder under this Section 5 are
in addition to any other rights and remedies that the Holder may have.

         6. Representations and Warranties

         Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

under this Amendment and under the Loan and Security Agreement.
