7.6 OTHER TRANSACTIONS.
a. Purchaser's shareholders shall have duly
authorized, and Purchaser shall have effected, a 1-for-2 reverse split of all of

stock of the Company shall be 50 million shares.
b. Purchaser shall have received for

common stock, and Purchaser shall have issued and outstanding not more than
8,912,000 shares (post-reverse split) before the issuance of the shares to the
Shareholders hereunder, but including all shares issued to investors in
Purchaser's common stock after the date hereof and through the closing of this
transaction.
c. All outstanding options to purchase common
stock of Purchaser shall have expired or terminated, or Purchaser shall have
received written acknowledgment from the holders of such options that such
holders agree to terminate such options effective not later than the closing of
this transaction, except for amounts which, in the aggregate, are not material.
d. Purchaser shall have authorized the issuance
of the following new options, each with a three-year term, to purchase shares of
Purchaser's common stock: (i) Option to purchase 1,250,000 shares, at an
exercise price of$O.50 per share, to Thomas McMurrain, (ii) Option to purchase
1,250,000 shares, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, to Thomas McMurrain,
and (iii) Options to purchase 1,000,000 shares, at an exercise price of$O.50 per
share, to certain new members of management of Purchaser designated by Thomas
McMurrain on or prior to the closing.
e. The officers and directors of Purchaser
shall have tendered their written resignations, to be effective as of the
closing of this transaction.
f. Purchaser shall have consummated the sale of
all of the assets relating to its skin-care business to a third party in
consideration of the agreement by such third party to assume all of Purchaser's
liabilities and obligations relating to such skin-care business. It is
understood and acknowledged that as of the date hereof Purchaser has, and as of
the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this agreement, notwithstanding
the contemplated sale of all of the Purchaser's skin-care business assets, it is
expected that the Company will continue to have, approximately $700,000 in
current liabilities, consisting principally of accounts payable to vendors,
suppliers, consultants and other third parties. The Purchaser has agreed to sell
its entire skin-care business and related assets to a buyer ("Buyer") that will
agree to assume all of such liabilities and indemnify the Purchaser against all
liabilities and claims related to the Purchaser's skin-care business. However,
the Purchaser has not consummated such transaction, and the purchaser has not
obtained releases from the foregoing liabilities from such vendors and
creditors. The Purchaser intends to work with the Buyer to obtain such releases,
but no assurances can be made, and no representations have been made by the
Purchaser, that any releases will be obtained. Therefore, the extent to which
the Purchaser may be relieved of such liabilities likely will depend upon the
Buyer's financial condition, about which no representations are made by the
Purchaser, and its ability to honor its agreement to assume such liabilities. In
addition, the sale of the skin-care business to the Buyer will require the
approval of the Purchaser's shareholders. If such approval is not obtained, the
transaction will not be consummated, and the Buyer will not assume the
Purchaser's liabilities relating to
<PAGE>
the skin-care business.
g. The Purchaser shall have raised, subject
only to the release from escrow upon the closing of this Agreement, aggregate
gross proceeds of $2,000,000 through one or more private placements of common
stock, including any amounts advanced to Private Company by Purchaser prior to
the Closing.
8. SECURITIES LAW PROVISIONS.
8.1 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Each of the Shareholders,
severally and not jointly, represents that he or it is aware that the shares
issued or transferred to him or it will not have been registered pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any state securities
act, and thus will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Therefore, under current
interpretations and applicable rules, he or it likely will have to retain such
shares for a period of at least one year and at the expiration of such one year
period his or its sales may be confined to brokerage transactions of limited
amounts requiring certain notification filings with the SEC and such disposition
may be available only if the issuer is current in its filings with the SEC under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other public disclosure
requirements.
8.2 NON-DISTRIBUTIVE INTENT. Each of the Shareholders,
severally and not jointly, covenants and warrants that the shares received are
acquired for his or its own account and not with the present view towards the
distribution thereof and he or it will not dispose of such shares except (i)
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (ii) in
any other transaction which, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the issuer,
is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, or the rules and regulations of
the SEC thereunder. In order to effectuate the covenants of this subsection 8.2,
an appropriate legend will be placed upon each of the certificates of common
stock issued or transferred pursuant to this Agreement, and stop transfer
instructions shall be placed with the transfer agent for the securities.
8.3 EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH PRIVATE OFFERING
EXEMPTION. Each of the Shareholders, severally and not jointly, hereby
represents and warrants that he or it, either individually or together with his
or its representative, has such knowledge and experience in business and
financial matters that he or it is capable of evaluating the risks of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the financial
capacity of such party is of such proportion that the total cost of such
person's commitment in the shares would not be material when compared with his
or its total financial capacity. Upon the written request of the issuer of the
securities issued or transferred pursuant to this Agreement, any party hereto
shall provide such issuer with evidence of compliance with the requirements of
any federal or state exemption from registration. The Purchaser and the Private
Company shall each file, with the assistance of the other and its respective
legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may

Re: AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
Dear Mr. McMurrain:
This is to confirm the following clarifications and amendment to the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 28, 1999 (the
"Agreement"), by and among Digital Launch, Inc. (the "Company"),
GlobaleTutor.Com, Inc. ("GET"), and the Shareholders of GET. For good and
adequate consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Company, GET and the GET Shareholders agree as follows:
1. In Section 4.2 [Capital Stock] of the Agreement, there is
hereby added at the end of the Section the following: "except that a service
provider to the Company is the beneficiary of a non-qualified stock option
agreement, which vested in part in 1998-1999, under which he is entitled to
exercise options on a total of up to 27,500 shares of Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $0.75 per share."
2. In Section 7.6(c) of the Agreement, there is hereby added at
the end of the sentence the following: ", it being agreed that the currently
outstanding options to purchase 27,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
an exercise price of $0.75 per share, as set forth in Section 4.2, shall not
have expired or been terminated as of the Closing, and shall remain subject to
exercise as provided in the related stock option agreement."
3. The parties have agreed and hereby confirm that the Company's
outstanding Common Stock shall not be reverse split prior to the closing of the
transaction described in the Agreement, and that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Agreement, there shall not be returned to the Company for
cancellation, and the Company shall not have any obligation to cancel, 700,000
shares of its Common Stock. Therefore, the following changes shall be made in
the Agreement to reflect such further agreements:
(i) The first sentence of Section 4.2 shall be amended to
read in its entirety as follows: "As of the closing of this Agreement, the
Purchaser will have a total of no more than 28,164,000 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding,
after giving effect to (i) the issuance of the shares to the Shareholders under
this Agreement, (ii) the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of common stock to
investors for an investment of $2 million in Purchaser, and (iii) the issuance
of 500,000 shares of common stock to investors for an investment of $100,000 in
Purchaser.
(ii) Paragraph (a) of Section 7.6 is hereby deleted.
<PAGE>
(iii) Paragraph (b) of Section 7.6 shall be amended to read
as follows: "Purchaser shall have issued and outstanding not more than
18,524,000 shares before the issuance of the shares to the Shareholders
hereunder, but including all shares issued to investors in Purchaser's common
stock after the date hereof and through the closing of this transaction."
(iv) Paragraph (d) of Section 7.6 shall be amended to read
as follows: "Purchaser shall have authorized the issuance of the following new
options, each with a three-year term, to purchase shares of Purchaser's common
stock: (i) Option to purchase 2,500,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.25
per share, to Thomas McMurrain, (ii) Option to purchase 2,500,000 shares, at an
exercise price of $0.50 per share, to Thomas McMurrain, and (iii) Options to
purchase 2,000,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, to certain
new members of management of Purchaser designated by Thomas McMurrain on or
prior to the closing." The foregoing changes are intended solely to reflect such
changes to stock options as are customary in light of the cancellation of the
Company's reverse split. The Company makes no representations or warranties of
any kind as to the treatment or effect of such options with respect to the
Company's income taxes or financial statements.
(v) The Company hereby waives the requirement in
paragraph 2.1(a) of the Agreement that the Shareholders continue to hold their
shares of the common stock of GET to the extent that such Shareholders may
transfer their respective shares to Globalepartners, LLC, a Georgia limited
liability company. Attached hereto is an Addendum to SCHEDULE A of the Agreement
to reflect the identity of the Shareholders of GET at the closing of the
transaction, and the agreement not to reverse split the Company's shares
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the
parties agree that as of the closing, the Company shall assume all currently
outstanding obligations of GET to holders of options and warrants to purchase
shares of capital stock of GET which had been committed to by GET as of the date
of execution of the Agreement. On or prior to closing, GET shall provide to the
Company a complete detail of these options and warrants obligations.
5. By its signature below, GlobalePartners, LLC, hereby agrees to
all of the terms of the Agreement as though its signature were set forth thereon
at and as of the original date of execution of the Agreement.
6. The Agreement is otherwise unmodified and continues in full
force and effect.
Please acknowledge your agreement to this Amendment by signing a copy
of this letter and returning one signed copy to the undersigned.
Sincerely yours,
DIGITAL LAUNCH, INC.
