Dear Sirs,

We refer to the ring back tone license agreement dated as of 6th May, 2003
between ourselves as licensor and yourselves as licensee, as it may be amended
in writing from time to time (the "License Agreement"). Terms defined in the
License Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein.
We are writing to confirm that we agree to renew the Term of the Agreement for 6
months (ie., until 11th May, 2004, hereafter the "Renewed Term"), subject to the
following conditions:
1. You will pay us quarterly advances (each an "Advance") effective from
1st January, 2004. The amount of each Advance shall be equal to the
Royalty payable by you to us in the preceding calendar quarter and the
Advance shall be paid when you account Royalty to us for March, June,
September or December (as the case may be) pursuant to clause 3 of the
License Agreement and the first Advance shall be due in January 2004.
Each Advance paid is not refundable, but is recoupable from all the
Royalty payable by you to us under clause 3 of the License Agreement
during the relevant calendar quarter. For instance, when you account
Royalty to us for December 2003 in January 2004 pursuant to clause 3 of
the License Agreement, you have to pay us at the same time an Advance
equal to all the Royalty paid or payable by you to us for the period
from 1st October to 31st December, 2003 and that such Advance is only
recoupable from the Royalty payable by you to us during the period 1st
