instructions. Upon your receipt of a copy of the executed Conversion Notice, you
shall use your best efforts to, within three (3) Trading Days following the date
of receipt of the Conversion Notice, (A) issue and surrender to a common carrier
for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a
certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designee, for the number

set forth in Exhibit III attached hereto, and that if the Conversion Shares, the
Interest Shares, and/or the Liquidated Damages Shares are not registered for

Conversion Shares shall bear the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR

TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT."
The Company hereby confirms and First American Stock Transfer acknowledges
that in the event Counsel to the Company does not issue an opinion of counsel as
required to issue the Conversion Shares free of legend the Company authorizes
and First American Stock Transfer will accept an opinion of Counsel from Xxxxxx

The Company hereby confirms to you and the Buyer that no instructions
other than as contemplated herein will be given to you by the Company with
respect to the Conversion Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not
replace First American Stock Transfer as the Company's transfer agent without
the prior written consent of the Buyer.

effective until such time as the Company provides to you written notice that a
suitable replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by
the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.
The Company and First American Stock Transfer hereby acknowledge and
confirm that complying with the terms of this Agreement does not and shall not
prohibit First American Stock Transfer from satisfying any and all fiduciary
responsibilities and duties it may owe to the Company.

The Company and First American Stock Transfer acknowledge that the Buyer
is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company and First
American Stock Transfer hereunder and are a material inducement to the Buyer
purchasing convertible debentures under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The
Company and First American Stock Transfer further acknowledge that without such
representations and covenants of the Company and First American Stock Transfer
made hereunder, the Buyer would not enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement
and purchase convertible debentures pursuant thereto.
Each party hereto specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event
of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the
Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate
remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically
enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party
hereto, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency
relationship created by this instrument, the Buyer shall be entitled, in
addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such
breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or
other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of
these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Limelight Media Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February __, 2004 (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement"), entered into by and among the Company and the Buyers set
forth on Schedule I attached thereto (collectively the "Buyer") pursuant to
which the Company has agreed to sell to the Buyer up to Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) of secured convertible debentures, which shall be convertible
into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), in accordance with the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
February __, 2004, with the Buyer (the "Investor Registration Rights Agreement")
pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
In connection with the Company's obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on _______, 2004, the Company
filed a Registration Statement (File No. ___-_________) (the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the sale of the Conversion Shares.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at 5:00 P.M. on
__________, 2004 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member
of the SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been
issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or
threatened by, the SEC and the Conversion Shares are available for sale under
the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
EXHIBIT II-1
The Buyer has confirmed it shall comply with all securities laws and
regulations applicable to it including applicable prospectus delivery
requirements upon sale of the Conversion Shares.
Very truly yours,

Attention: Xxxx Xxxxx
RE: LIMELIGHT MEDIA GROUP INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Limelight Media Group Inc. (the
"Company"), in connection with the registration of ___________shares (the
"Shares") of its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). We have not acted as your counsel. This opinion is given at the request
and with the consent of the Company.
In rendering this opinion we have relied on the accuracy of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended (the "Registration Statement"),
filed by the Company with the SEC on _________ ___, 2004. The Company filed the
Registration Statement on behalf of certain selling stockholders (the "Selling
Stockholders"). This opinion relates solely to the Selling Shareholders listed
on Exhibit "A" hereto and number of Shares set forth opposite such Selling
Stockholders' names. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on
__________ ___, 2004.
We understand that the Selling Stockholders acquired the Shares in a
private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Information regarding the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders
is contained under the heading "Selling Stockholders" in the Registration
Statement, which information is incorporated herein by reference. This opinion
does not relate to the issuance of the Shares to the Selling Stockholders. The
opinions set forth herein relate solely to the sale or transfer by the Selling
Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement under the Federal laws of
the United States of America. We do not express any opinion concerning any law
of any state or other jurisdiction.
In rendering this opinion we have relied upon the accuracy of the
foregoing statements.
EXHIBIT III-1
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and that First American Stock Transfer may remove the
restrictive legends contained on the Shares. This opinion relates solely to the
number of Shares set forth opposite the Selling Stockholders listed on Exhibit
"A" hereto.
This opinion is furnished to you specifically in connection with the
issuance of the Shares, and solely for your information and benefit. This letter
may not be relied upon by you in any other connection, and it may not be relied
upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written
consent. This opinion may not be assigned, quoted or used without our prior
written consent. The opinions set forth herein are rendered as of the date
hereof and we will not supplement this opinion with respect to changes in the
law or factual matters subsequent to the date hereof.
Very truly yours,
XXXXXXXXXXX & XXXXXXXX LLP
