MEDIA NETWORK SERVICES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------
THIS Media Network Services Agreement ("this Agreement") is entered into
this 18th day of April, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), by and between The Mentus
Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("Mentus"), and The Southland Corporation, a
Texas Corporation ("Southland").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Mentus operates the American Consumer Service Network ("ACSN").
ACSN installs, operates and services video display monitors in high traffic
retail businesses. The monitors provide display information and advertising
messages targeted for consumers of these retail businesses (the "Program"); and
WHEREAS, Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. is the national advertising sales
representative for ACSN; and
WHEREAS, Southland operates corporate-owned 7-Eleven-Registered Trademark-
convenience stores in the United States. In addition, 7-Eleven stores are
operated by Southland's franchisees or licensees; and
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
Mentus will provide the Program and supporting network to participating 7-Eleven
stores.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the terms and conditions set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as
follows:
1. STORES.
1.01 For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "Stores" will mean all of
Southland's corporate-owned and operated 7-Eleven convenience stores or other
retail grocery locations which are or may hereafter be owned and operated by
Southland from time to time in the United States. Stores will not include,
subject to section 1.02 below, any 7-Eleven convenience stores or other retail
grocery stores which are or hereafter may be owned or operated by Southland's
franchisees and licensees.
1.02 In the event that any of the Stores are franchised or licensed,
Mentus acknowledges that Southland's franchises or licensees are independent
contractors who determine the manner and means of operating their own stores
pursuant to the terms of the franchise or license agreement and arrangements
relating thereto. Southland agrees to designate Mentus as a recommended supplier
of the products and services under the Program to franchises or licensees where
Mentus is providing such products and services to the Store, provided Mentus (i)
complies with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) is not in default under this
Agreement. The term "Stores" will include Southland's franchisees or licensees
that elect to participate under the Program. In such event, all rights, duties
and obligations running from Mentus to Southland hereunder, and from Southland
to Mentus, will also run between Mentus and each such franchisee or license that
elect on their own to participate under the Program; provided that all of
Mentus' dealings with respect to such Stores will be exclusively with Southland
for each franchisee or licensee that elects to participate under the Program.
Southland will use its reasonable best efforts to present the Program to
Southland's franchisees and licensees and to solicit franchise or licensee
participation in the Program.

2. HARDWARE.
2.01 Mentus will install, at its sole cost and expense, at each
participating Store the ACSN 27-inch monitor and related hardware and wiring,
including any necessary telephone lines as set forth in Exhibit "A" (the
"Hardware") at each participating Store. The list of corporate-owned Stores
shall be provided by Southland within a reasonable time after the execution of
this Agreement, and shall be attached as Exhibit "B."
2.02 Southland and Mentus will work together to design the various Store
layouts for the Hardware location and installation that is consistent with
Southland's current Restore program and the 7-Eleven Image. Southland will have
final approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, as to the
location and installation of the Hardware at the Store.
2.03 Mentus will install the Hardware at the Stores in accordance with
the Hardware Installation Rollout Schedule attached as Exhibit "C"; provided
that the specific Hardware Installation Rollout Schedule will be the product of
the mutual agreement between Mentus and Southland following Mentus' receipt of
the addresses of both the corporate-owned Stores and the franchised and licensed
Stores that have chosen to participate in the Program. Southland agrees that the
initial installation under the Hardware Installation Rollout Schedule will not
be earlier than ninety (90) days following the date Mentus receives the
addresses. The date of the first installation will be the "Initial Installation
Date." Mentus will be in material breach of this section only if the failure to
materially comply with the Hardware Installation Rollout Schedule is due to the
actions or inactions of Mentus.

installation coordinator or pay for a Southland employee (at an agreed upon
cost, not to exceed $100,000) to assist with the Hardware installation.
2.05 Title and ownership of the Hardware will remain with Mentus.
2.06 Mentus will maintain, repair or replace the Hardware, as necessary,
at its sole cost and expense, excluding the cost of electricity. All costs
associated with the required telephone lines, including monthly telephone line
charges, will be borne by Mentus. Mentus will provide to the Stores, at its sole
cost and expense, a toll free 800 number that a Store may use to report a
Hardware problem. Mentus will respond to a maintenance or repair request within
24 hours (weekends and holidays excluded) after receiving such request. Mentus
will be responsible for ensuring that the Hardware is maintained and operable at
all times.
2.07 Southland will be responsible for any Hardware loss or damage that
is not due to the negligence of Mentus, during the time the Hardware is properly
installed at the Store.
2.08 In the event of a Store closure, lease expiration, franchisee
termination or other factor that causes a cessation of a Store operation during
the term of this Agreement, at Southland's request, Mentus will, at its sole
cost and expense and within five (5) business days from Mentus' receipt of a
request under this Section 2.08, remove the Hardware from the Store and return
the Store to its previous condition, normal wear and tear excepted.
2.09 Upon Southland's reasonable request, Mentus will, at its sole cost
and expense and within a reasonable time period, relocate the Hardware to a
different area in the Store to achieve maximum customer exposure.

3.03 Mentus will repair within 48 hours, any network problem, failure or

necessary performing rights license(s) for material appearing in
commercial announcement(s).
5. PROGRAMMING.
5.01 Mentus will use its best efforts to ensure that the Program Slots
will not damage Southland's trademarks or the 7-Eleven Image. Upon Southland's
request, Mentus will remove within a reasonable time any Program Slots or Ad
Slots objectionable to Southland as damaging to Southland's trademarks or the
7-Eleven image. In addition, Southland and Mentus will cooperate to determine
categories of products and advertisers that Southland has identified as
objectionable and which Mentus has agreed to treat as objectionable under this
Section. Such list of products and advertisers, including guidelines for
advertisers and products, when produced, will be attached as Exhibit D to this
Agreement. Advertisers and or products that fall outside of the agreed upon
guidelines require the prior approval of Southland. Mentus will install a 27
inch ACSN monitor at Southland's corporate offices in Dallas, Texas to allow
Southland to monitor the Program and Ad Slots.
5.02 Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mentus, Southland may
change the ________* 7-Eleven Slots once every thirty (30) days.
6. PROGRAM FEE.
6.01 In accordance with Section 6.02 below, Mentus will pay Southland a
Program Fee equal to a percentage of the "operating revenue" (as defined below)
received by Mentus from the sale of the Ad Slots under the Program. "Operating
revenue" is defined as all revenues earned by Mentus (less bona tide advertising
agency and media buying services commissions), when advertisements are broadcast
by Mentus, in accordance with standard industry practice, from the broadcast of
Ad Slots on monitors installed at the Stores. The Program Fee will be paid to
Southland on a quarterly basis. The Program Fee will be paid to Southland on or
before the thirtieth (30) day following the end of each quarter.
6.02 Mentus' obligation to pay Program Fees shall begin as of the Initial
Installation Date (as defined in Section 2.03). Six (6) months following the

Year, the parties will review the Program Fees during the previous Fee Year. In
the event that the Program Fees paid
* Denotes the information has been filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for Confidential Treatment
during such Fee Year have not at least equaled the Annual Minimum Payment as set
forth in section 6.02, Mentus will, within thirty (30) days after determination,
pay to Southland an amount equal to the difference between the Program Fees paid
and the Annual Minimum Payment. In the event Mentus fails to pay the Annual
Minimum Payment as provided herein, Southland, as its sole and exclusive remedy,
may terminate this Agreement in accordance with section 97.
6.04 In calculating the Annual Minimum Payment based on the Program Fees,
the Program Fees attributable to a Store shall be prorated based on the time a
Store has installed Hardware and its participating in the Program. For example,

installation is completed at the end of the third month of a Fee Year, the
amount attributable to such Store in the calculation of the total Annual Minimum
Payment shall be _______*.
6.05 Each month, Mentus will provide Southland with adequate
