(ii) to use, execute and display for and in connection with the development,

other tools identified on Exhibit 1.1 (the "Creation Tools," and

together with the End-User Tools, collectively the"SoftWatch

Software"), in each case at any location or locations around the world.



In addition:



(x) SoftWatch agrees that the foregoing grant of license with respect to

the End-User Tools includes the right of all end-users of the Medscape

Consumer Site and the Co-Branded Diet Center, wherever such end-users

are located, to use, execute and display the End-User Tools within and

in connection with services and functionalities made available in the

Medscape Consumer Site and the Co-Branded Diet Center; and the foregoing grant of license with respect to the

End-User Tools includes the right of any and all of Medscape's

employees, contractors and agents (including any operator or host of

the Medscape Consumer Site and/or the Co- Branded Diet Center),

wherever such employees, contractors and agents are located, to use,

display and execute the End-User Tools in connection with the

development, construction, operations, maintenance, and hosting of the

Medscape Consumer Site and/or the Co-Branded Diet Center; and



(x) the foregoing grant of license with respect to the Creation Tools

(c) Internet Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, "Internet" means the public collection of com puter networks referred to generally as the "internet" as in existence on the date hereof and any evolution thereof or successor network thereto, and includes privately available computer networks connected to the Internet (e.g. so-called "intranets") or w hich use (x) Internet standards and/or (y) other use standards which are compatible with, or essentially similar in functionality to, such networks (including websites, HTML or other similar delivery systems).

If by September 30, 1999 SoftWatch: (i) is unable to secure the necessary rights to permit Medscape to use the SoftWatch Software in relation to a specific disease channel for Multiple Sclerosis on all the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.1, or (ii) otherwise to secure, at SoftWatch's expense, the license to Medscape of a functional equivalent of the SoftWatch Software satisfactory to Medscape (in its sole discretion) which can be used in a s pecific disease channel on the Medscape Consumer Site for Multiple Sclerosis on all the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.1, then SoftWatch shall pay to Medscape (x) on September 30,1999 an amount equal to $125,000, and (y) on September 30, 2000 an amount equal to $100,000, provided, however, that if at any date after September 30, 1999, but prior to September 30, 2000, SoftWatch is able to secure the rights contemplated in clause (i) or (ii) above, and Medscape elects (in its sole discretio n) to accept a license of such rights, then SoftWatch shall have no obligation to make the payment of $100,000 referred to in the foregoing clause (y).

This Agreement does not provide Medscape with title or ownership of the SoftWatch Software, but only a right of limited use.

will be the exclusive weight management and dieting center for the

Medscape Consumer Site, provided, however that the foregoing shall not

limit or otherwise restrict Medscape from integrating third-party tools

or other software components not proprietary to SoftWatch in the

Co-Branded Diet Center;



(b) General Health and Wellness Center; Hyperlink. The Co-Branded Diet

Center will be maintained separate and apart from, and will contain

content distinct from that of, any "general health and wellness"

service or channel maintained on the Medscape Consumer Site (the

"General Health and Wellness Center"), provided, however, that the

General Health and Wellness Center may contain End-User Tools similar

to those contained in the Co-Branded Diet Center (e.g. a diary tool).

In addition, Medscape agrees that: (i) any such General Health and

Wellness Center shall be designed and maintained in such a manner as to

permit users thereof to directly link to the Co-Branded Diet Center if

they wish to access content and features specifically relating to

dieting and weight management or control, and (ii) the General Health

and Wellness Center will not be exclusively or primarily related to

dieting and/or nutrition.

Diet Center powered by DietWatch.com" (or such other name and SoftWatch

product reference as may be mutually agreed by the Parties). The

DietWatch.com logo will be displayed at not less than 50% of the scale

of, and with substantially similar graphics, visibility and other

characteristics as, the "Medscape Diet Center" logo (or other Medscape

proprietary mark) in order to properly convey the co-branding of the
