Summary

Colmena Corp., a Delaware public company, and National ComTel Network Inc., a California corporation, confirm their ongoing negotiations for a potential reorganization as outlined in a prior letter of intent. Due to recent business disruptions and loan transfer delays, both parties agree to extend their timeline, aiming to sign a definitive agreement by early February 2004 and close the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2004. The agreement remains non-exclusive until a definitive deal is signed. All other terms from the original letter of intent remain unchanged.

Dear Mr. Foss: This letter updates and confirms the status of negotiations concerning a proposed transaction between Colmena Corp., a Delaware corporation with a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Colmena" and the "Exchange Act," respectively), and National ComTel Network Inc. ("National ComTel"), a corporation organized and operating under the laws of the State of California, as set forth in the letter of intent we signed in October 2003 and which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Letter of Intent" and the "Commission," respectively). The Letter of Intent with National ComTel remains non-exclusive since Colmena may be negotiating a potential reorganization with other companies as well. In the event that Colmena and National ComTel sign the definitive agreements contemplated by the Letter of Intent, however, Colmena will immediately withdraw from further negotiations with any other companies. After a lengthy discussion, Colmena and National ComTel have reaffirmed their commitment to entering into the reorganization on the terms set forth in the Letter of Intent. Because of the recent serious environmental problems in California (wildfires, mudslides and so forth) that temporarily disrupted your business, as well as unanticipated delays relating to the transfer of your SBA loan, the target dates set forth in the Letter of Intent can no longer be met. Accordingly, we have agreed to use our best efforts to sign a definitive reorganization agreement by early February 2004 and to close on the proposed transaction by the end of the first quarter 2004. Other than as set forth herein, the terms of the Letter of Intent remain unchanged. Please indicate your concurrence with the foregoing by signing a copy of this letter in the space indicated below, and thereafter transmitting such executed copy to us by facsimile. Colmena will then promptly file this letter with the Commission as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K. We look forward to successfully concluding the contemplated reorganization with National ComTel. Very truly yours, COLMENA CORP. /s/ Anthony Q. Joffe Anthony Q. Joffe President The foregoing is hereby accepted, as of the date first above written National ComTel Network Inc. and its Securities Holders By: /s/ Jeff Foss Jeff Foss President and authorized representative for all of the securities holders of National ComTel Network Inc.
