Dear Paul,

This letter will confirm the telephone discussion you and I had last Friday,
February 16 regarding our next steps with the SB2 Filing.

As I indicated to you, and as we have reported to you and your colleagues in
previous discussions, we are following the guidance that Ms. Jacobs of the SEC
provided in a teleconference call with us: we are removing the Swartz financing
component from the Filing. It was very clear from her comments to us that the
major issue with our filing at this point in time was the Swartz component and
that merely removing the Purchase Warrants would not be sufficient to resolve
the issue: "It is much more complicated than that", was her comment.

The revised Agreement which you have forwarded to us, effectively reflects only
the removal of the Purchase Warrants. In view of Ms. Jacobs' comments, we cannot
accept that version. We have been in this process far too long; we cannot risk
further comments from the SEC relative to the Swartz Agreement as presently
structured; and we cannot withdraw the filing while we await the version of the
Agreement supported by the SEC as acceptable. As we have reiterated to you, time
is of the essence with our Filing; the survival of the Company is at stake.

As I indicated to you, once we have received an approval from the SEC to our SB2
Filing, we commit to work with you to structure an Agreement with your Firm that
we have good evidence will conform to the requirements of the SEC, sign it at
that time and resubmit a Registration Filing. In the meantime, the present
Agreement must be set aside while we go forward with our current Filing.

Thank you for taking the tome to talk with me last Friday. We will certainly
keep you posted as to our progress with the Filing.

Sincerely,

Donald J. Shea

Re:   Legal Fees Agreement

Date: August 31, 2000

      Confirming our agreement, Horwitz & Beam has agreed to provide legal
services to thehealthchannel.com (the "Company") for the primary purpose of
processing the proposed SB-2 and providing corporate advice and litigation
assistance (the "Matters"). The legal fees associated with the Matters shall be
as follows:

(1)   $100,000 shall be paid in cash to Horwitz & Beam. Such amount shall
      constitute payment in full through the date of this Memorandum;

(2)   In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall receive a credit in the
      amount of $38,500;

(3)   All legal services provided after September 1, 2000 (after the foregoing
      credits) and terminating upon the earlier to occur of either: (a) the
      termination of this Agreement; or (b) the approval of the SB-2 shall be
      payable in Company shares at the rate of $.40 per share (the closing price
      upon the date of this Memorandum). These shares shall have piggy-back
      registration rights, commencing upon the approval of the proposed SB-2
      (specifically, these shares shall not be included in the proposed SB-2,
      provided, however, Horwitz & Beam shall have the right to include such
      shares in any subsequent registration statement, with the exception of S-8
      registration).<PAGE>

RE:      RETENTION OF SENN PALUMBO MEULEMANS, LLP
         SUBJECT: GENERAL BUSINESS AND CORPORATE REPRESENTATION

Dear Mr. Lonergan:

This correspondence will serve to confirm that you have engaged our firm on an
hourly basis with regard to your Company's SEC related transactional matters,
and any matters related to the raising of capital. In general, our
representation will include a review and analysis of all information you provide
in connection with the above-referenced matter, an analysis of the materials,
consultations, phone conferences, preparation of pleadings and other documents,
court appearances and/or our recommendations in connection with the further
handling of the various matters.

We have found that our clients appreciate having our billing procedures
explained in writing. Experience has shown that the attorney-client relationship
works best when there is a mutual understanding about fees, costs and payment
terms. Accordingly, we take this opportunity to outline the terms on which we
propose to provide our professional services.

To help us determine the value of our services, we ask each of our lawyers and
legal assistants to maintain time records for each client and matter. The time
records are reviewed monthly by the billing attorney assigned to you before an
invoice is rendered. All of our services are billed at the hourly rate then in
effect for the attorney or legal assistant who is performing the work. The
attorneys and paralegals working on your matters will bill their time at an
hourly rate varying from $100.00 to $250.00, depending upon their experience
level and the complexity of the matter.

We will forward our invoices on a monthly basis, and each invoice, unless
otherwise specified, represents our fees and out-of-pocket costs advanced for
your account through the end of the preceding month. We make every effort to
include disbursements in the statement for the month in which the disbursements
are incurred. However, some disbursements, such as telephone charges, are often
not available to us until the following months, in which case those
disbursements will be included on a subsequent invoice. Payment is due upon
presentation of the invoice, and invoices which remain unpaid after thirty days
from the invoice date are assigned a late payment charge of ten percent (10%)
per annum. In the unlikely event we are

required to incur legal or other costs to recover amounts due for fees and
expenses on your account, you will be responsible for those costs as well.

It is our policy to serve you with the most effective support systems available,
while at the same time allocating the costs of such systems in accordance with
the extent of usage by individual clients. Therefore, in addition to our fees
for legal services, we will also invoice separately for certain costs and
expense disbursements, including telephone, facsimile, messenger, courier and
other communication costs, reproduction, document retrieval, staff overtime when
required by the client or the matter's timing, computer research facilities,
document preparation on word processing, and other costs and expenses incurred
on your behalf.

It is our usual and customary practice to require clients to remit a retainer to
the firm for each individual matter for which services are rendered. We have
agreed to accept Two Hundred Forty Thousand (240,000) shares of common stock of
TheHealthChannel.com, Inc. as a retainer in exchange for up to Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($20,000.00) worth of legal services solely in connection with SEC
matters and matters related to the raising of capital. You understand that all
other legal matters will require cash payments and will only be undertaken upon
prior approval. All costs will be paid in cash by you. You agree to deliver to
us a certificate representing Two Hundred Forty Thousand (240,000) shares of
common stock in the name of SENN PALUMBO MEULEMANS, LLP within fifteen (15) days
of this letter. You further agree to register such shares on your current SB-2.

We reserve the right to request an additional retainer fee in the future in the
event of a change in circumstances. Any estimates of anticipated fees that we
provide at the request of the client, whether for budgeting purposes or
otherwise are, due to the uncertainties involved, necessarily only an
approximation of potential fees. Under no circumstances are such estimates to be
viewed as a maximum or minimum fee quotation. Actual fees are always determined
in accordance with the policies described above.

Our firm maintains errors and omissions insurance coverage which may be
applicable to the services to be rendered, subject to certain limitations and
exclusions. If you have questions in this regard, please feel free to call.

We hope this adequately explains our fees and billing procedures. We encourage
you to discuss with us any questions you may have regarding these policies and
procedures, either at the inception of our engagement or at any time during its
course. If the terms set forth above are satisfactory, please sign and return
the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to us either by facsimile or U.S.
Mail.

            month it is due, that payment and all remaining monthly payments for
            the balance of the Term shall increase to $6,250 each.
