                                   RECITALS:

       A.     Yahoo and Rogers entered into that certain Yahoo Canada
Affiliation Agreement, dated February 29, 1996 (the "Affiliation Agreement"),
pursuant to which, among other things, Yahoo licensed certain intellectual
property and development rights to Rogers with respect to the Yahoo Internet
Directory and associated Internet services that have been customized and
localized specifically for the Canadian market and which are currently
offered through the Yahoo! Canada website ("Yahoo Canada").

       B.     In December 1998, pursuant to the terms of the Affiliation
Agreement, each of Yahoo and Rogers formally initiated a dispute resolution
process in order to resolve differences arising under the Affiliation
Agreement.

       C.     On January 6, 1999, Yahoo and Rogers each executed and
delivered a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") pursuant to which the
parties agreed to terminate the Affiliation Agreement and to release each
other from all claims arising out of or relating to the Affiliation Agreement.

       D.     Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Yahoo and Rogers
agreed to enter into this Agreement, which is intended to supersede the
Letter Agreement in its entirety.

                                     AGREEMENT:

and conditions.

       2.     CONSIDERATION.

              2.1    PAYMENT BY YAHOO.  As consideration for entering into
this Agreement, and such other covenants and agreements set forth herein, on
the Termination Date, Yahoo, or its affiliates, shall deliver to Rogers
payments in the aggregate amount of Eighteen Million United States Dollars
(US$18,000,000) (the "Termination Fee") inclusive of any and all sales, use,
consumption, value-added, goods and services or other taxes incurred as a
result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The
Termination Fee shall be paid without interest in two installments, each of
which shall be equal to 50% of the Termination Fee as follows:

                     (a)    the first installment shall be paid on the
Termination Date by wire transfer to an account designated by Rogers in the
amount of Nine Million United States Dollars (US $9,000,000); and

                     (b)    the second installment shall be paid in the form
of an unsecured promissory note, bearing interest in accordance with its
terms, substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the
"Promissory Note"), payable in full on April 1, 1999 to Rogers in the amount
of Nine Million United States Dollars (US $9,000,000).

              2.2    PAYMENTS BY ROGERS.  Rogers shall deliver to Yahoo by
wire transfer to an account designated by Yahoo an aggregate amount equal to
accrued but unpaid royalties due and payable to Yahoo by Rogers under the
Affiliation Agreement as of the Termination Date in two installments to be
paid as follows:

                     (a)    on the Termination Date, an amount equal to the
accrued but unpaid royalties as of January 31, 1999; and

                     (b)    seven (7) days after the Termination Date, an
amount equal to the accrued but unpaid royalties for the period of February
1, 1999 to the Termination Date.

The royalties payable by Rogers to Yahoo pursuant to the Affiliation
Agreement shall be reduced after February 15, 1999 (as such may be prorated)
by the "net loss", if any, incurred by Rogers with respect to the maintenance
and operation of Yahoo Canada from February 15, 1999 until the Termination
Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.  The
determination of "net loss" in regard to the maintenance and operation of
Yahoo Canada shall be determined in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles as set forth by the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants from time to time. Only those payments, expenses, charges and
other liabilities or accruals directly allocable to the maintenance and
operation of Yahoo Canada by Rogers shall be utilized in determining the "net
loss" of Yahoo Canada.  In addition, interest charges for the financing of
Rogers shall not be included in "net loss" other than interest directly
allocable for the maintenance and operation of Yahoo Canada.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties agree that in no event shall Yahoo be responsible
for any "net losses" incurred by Rogers in connection with the operation of
Yahoo Canada that

                                      2
<PAGE>

exceed the royalties payable by Rogers to Yahoo pursuant to the Affiliation
Agreement for the period from February 15, 1999 to the Termination Date.

              2.3    ACCOUNTING.  Together with the royalty payment payable
by Rogers pursuant to Section 2.2 above, Rogers shall provide Yahoo with a
complete and accurate accounting of the royalties payable by Rogers. 

              2.4    TAXES.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 of
the Affiliation Agreement in regard to the payment set forth in Section 2.2
above, Rogers shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all
sales, use, consumption, value-added, goods and services or other taxes
incurred as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, and Rogers shall be solely responsible for the due and punctual
payment and remittance of all such taxes to all applicable governmental
authorities in Canada.  In the event Yahoo is required by law to pay any
interest or penalties in connection with the payment of taxes pursuant to the
Affiliation Agreement as a result of actions or inactions on the part of
Rogers,  Rogers agrees to reimburse Yahoo for all such amounts paid and costs
and expenses incurred by Yahoo in connection therewith, provided that Yahoo
gives Rogers reasonable notice of such interest, penalties, costs and
expenses prior to the payment thereof.

       3.     TERMINATION DATE.  The "Termination Date" shall be March 1,
1999.

       4.     MUTUAL RELEASE.  Subject to Section 13 and as of the
Termination Date, the parties each fully release and discharge the other, and
their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents,
and any affiliated corporations or companies from any and all potential and
outstanding legal claims, actions, suits, duties, obligations, contracts,
debts, demands, or causes of action whatsoever ("Claims"), whether known or
unknown, whether in law or in equity, and whether past, future or present,
arising out of, based upon, or relating to the Affiliation Agreement or any
settlement or termination thereof, except for any Claims arising out of this
Agreement.

       5.     CONTRACTS RELATING TO YAHOO CANADA.  Rogers and Yahoo
acknowledge and agree that the termination of the Affiliation Agreement, the
return of certain assets and the assignment of certain contracts by Rogers to
Yahoo is not an acquisition of a business, and except for the contractual
obligations set forth on EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the "Assigned Contracts")
or as otherwise expressly provided herein, Yahoo shall not assume or perform,
and shall not be responsible for performing or satisfying, any of the duties,
liabilities, obligations or agreements of Rogers, whether or not arising out
of or relating to the Affiliation Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any liabilities or other obligations arising in connection with the
employment of Rogers' employees or the termination thereof, taxes,
indebtedness, royalty payments, claims or legal proceedings and contractual
obligations arising on or before the Termination Date.  As of the Termination
Date, Rogers assigns and transfers to Yahoo, and Yahoo assumes, all of the
rights and obligations under the Assigned Contracts. 

       6.     RETURN OF ASSETS.  As of the Termination Date, Rogers shall
return or cause to be returned to Yahoo all of the assets set forth on
EXHIBIT C attached hereto (the "Returned Assets").

To the extent Rogers has any interests in such Returned Assets at the
Termination Date, Rogers transfers and assigns to Yahoo, as of the
Termination Date, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Returned
Assets free and clear of any and all liens, claims, equities and encumbrances
of any nature.  In the event that the URL "www.yahoo.ca" is not able to be
transferred to Yahoo or its affiliate or designee on or prior to the
Termination Date, Rogers shall license exclusively to Yahoo all rights to use
the URL "www.yahoo.ca" for the period after the Termination Date up to and
including December 31, 1999 in exchange for a royalty of One United States
Dollar (US $1).  If not assigned on or prior to the Termination Date, the URL
"www.yahoo.ca" shall be assigned by Rogers to Yahoo or its affiliate or
designee in consideration of One United States Dollar (US $1) on December 31,
1999 or such earlier date as requested in writing by Yahoo.

any extent, that would interfere with, prevent or limit Rogers' performance
of its obligations under this Agreement or which could have material adverse

representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of Rogers contained in
this Agreement, (ii) any liability or obligation of Rogers not specifically
assumed by Yahoo or (iii) any claim by a third party or governmental or
regulatory authority relating to the period prior to the Termination Date and

enforce such obligations shall be governed solely by this Agreement.

              16.2   INDEMNIFICATION BY YAHOO.  Yahoo shall indemnify and
hold harmless Rogers against any and all Losses sustained by Rogers resulting

indemnify Rogers under subsection 5.2(1) of the Affiliation Agreement if that
Agreement were not terminated, provided that the indemnification procedures
and any remedies to enforce such obligations shall be governed solely by this
Agreement, and (v) any actual or threatened claim that the performance by
Rogers of its obligations under this Agreement after the Termination Date,
infringes, breaches, or harms in any manner or to any extent the Intellectual
Property Rights (as that term is defined in the Affiliation Agreement) of any
other person, provided Rogers acts in a commercially reasonable manner.

              16.3   PROCEDURES.  In the event any third party asserts any
claim with respect to any matter as to which the indemnities in this
Agreement relate, the party against whom the claim is asserted (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give prompt notice to the other party (the
"Indemnifying Party"), and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its
election to take over the defense or settlement of the third party claim at
its own expense by giving prompt notice to the Indemnified Party.  If the
Indemnifying Party does not give such notice and does not proceed diligently
so to defend the third party claim within 30 days after receipt of the notice
of the third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any
defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make as to those claims
and shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for its Losses and expenses related
to the defense or settlement of the third party claim.  The parties shall
cooperate in defending against any asserted third party claims. For purposes
of this Section 16, the indemnification of the Indemnified Party shall also
include the indemnification of the Indemnified Party's employees, agents,
affiliates, and third parties performing services for the Indemnified Party.

              16.4   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Any claim under this Agreement
with respect to any breach of warranty by either party must be brought within
eighteen months of the Termination Date.  Rogers and Yahoo each agree that
each party's liability to the other party for any and all direct harm,
liability, expense, cost, loss or damage, whether in negligence, tort,
equity, contract or otherwise, arising out of, or in connection with, this
Agreement shall be strictly limited in the aggregate, in respect of each and
all incidences or occurrences, to US$18 million, provided that Rogers'
liability arising out of, or in connection with Section 8.1 shall be strictly
limited in the aggregate to US$500,000.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 16.1 AND 16.2 HEREOF, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL

DAMAGES.)

disclose the existence or nature of this Agreement without the consent of the
other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however,
that either party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue a
press release or otherwise publicly disclose this Agreement if, upon the
advice of legal counsel, such disclosure is required by law or the rules or
regulations governing the securities exchange on which such party's
