                  subject to adjustments set forth herein, as follows:

                  (a)  The exact amount of stock to be paid shall be based upon
                       the number of "page views" received by the two web sites
                       described in Paragraph 1 per month. A "page view" is
                       defined as; "a single request by a user to view a file
                       which represents the single file comprising all files
                       included in a single web page; all such files are denoted
                       by their file extension ".htm", ".html", "cgi", "php3",
                       "php" or "cgi-bin". No co-branded pages are to be
                       included in the page view count. The number of page views
                       shall be calculated in the following manner:

                  (b)  The Buyer will verify the number of page views during the
                       month prior to the execution of this Agreement and the
                       number of page views during the month following the
                       execution of this Agreement, and shall determine the
                       exact number of page views received during each of the
                       verified months.

                  (c)  The total number of page views during each of the two
                       verified months shall be added together and divided by
                       two in order to obtain the average number of page views
                       received over the aforedescribed two month period.

                  (d)  Buyer shall issue to Seller 8 6/10 (8.6) shares of stock
                       for each one hundred page views. Thus, the formula shall
                       be; average number of page views divided by 100 times
                       8.6, minus any number in excess of 130,000.

                  (d)  The exact number of shares to be issued shall be
                       determined exclusively by the Buyer, who shall rely upon
                       reports produced by Analog 2.0, a Unix software program
                       already residing on the server. Buyer shall have the
                       unrestricted right to employ any other method of audit
                       that he may choose, including the use of his own
                       software, and Seller agrees to cooperate accordingly.

                  (e)  All shares paid under this Agreement shall be issued and
                       delivered as soon as administratively feasible following
                       closing.
