LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF

provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed
by the party to be charged. No failure or delay by either party in

attached hereto, constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes

ADVERTISING VOLUME*: NETZERO'S NEEDS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Shane, NetZero is currently getting 400 ads/second per AdServer
at peak
According to Shane's number of 9600 ads/second, NetZero will require a total of
24 AdServers (9600/400 = 24) to manage peak loads.
This number does not include any failover servers- NetGravity recommends
another 10% serving capacity or an additional 3 AdServers.
NetZero is currently licensed for 14 AdServers, thus would require an additional
13 AdServers
(27 recommended - 14 licensed = 13 additional)
*All AdServer volume figures discussed in this document are for reference only.
They are based upon NetZero's own experience, warranty, express or implied.

1. Software purchased under this Order Form shall be governed by the
terms and conditions of the NetGravity AdServer License Agreement dated
August 28, 1998 (the "License Agreement") and NetGravity Software
Subscription and Support Agreements (the "Support Agreement") entered into by
NetGravity and NetZero, dated August 31, 1998 (collectively, the "Existing
Agreements"). The Existing Agreements are hereby amended to incorporate the
terms of this Order Form. Payment terms are net 30. So long as Licensee is
not in breach hereunder, Licensee shall have an option by delivery of written
notice to extend the License Agreement, as amended hereunder, for an
additional two year term on the terms set forth herein, provided that in
regards to consulting Licensee shall receive a [***] discount off of
NetGravity list at the time the services are ordered instead of the [***] per
day rate listed herein.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1 of the Support
Agreement referenced herein, the term of this purchase shall be two years.
3. Because this quotation represents a two year obligation on the part of
Licensee and Licensee is paying for both years under net 30 payment terms, in
the event that Licensee purchases additional copies of the AdManager
AdServer, and AdClient component(s) during the two years from the date of
this quotation, Licensee shall receive a [***] discount off of NetGravity
list pricing in effect when the software is ordered. In addition, if
NetGravity provides a greater discount to a purchaser of such products and
such purchaser has purchased, in the aggregate, an equal or lesser dollar
value of comparable products, then Licensee shall be offered the same discount
for future purchases hereunder.
4. During the two year term of this Order Form, Licensee shall have the
right to purchase an additional 100 days of consulting at the discounted
rates listed above. Additionally, NetGravity shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to develop custom software programs requested by Licensee.
In the event NetGravity is not able to develop a custom software program
requested by Licensee using commercially efforts, NetGravity agrees to
provide Licensee with such technical information as Licensee may reasonably
request to enable Licensee to develop such custom programs on its own, it
being understood that Licensee shall be required to keep such information
confidential and shall only be entitled to use such information in
conjunction with the products purchased hereunder.
5. The Support Subscription Agreement entered into by the parties on
August 31, 1998 is hereby amended to include the attached Exhibit's C and D.
6. The parties agree that in the event that NetGravity provides
consulting services pursuant to this Order Form, the parties shall, on a case
by case basis, decide upon intellectual property ownership produced by said
consulting services. In particular, if specific programs are proposed,
designed and paid for by Licensee, then appropriate restrictions shall be
placed on NetGravity;s ability to use the same to benefit Licensee's
competitors.
7. The parties agree to amend the Assignment sections of the above
mentioned AdServer License Agreement and the Support Subscription Agreement
by replacing the existing language with the following:
This Agreement is not assignable by Customer without the prior written
consent of NetGravity; provided however, this entire Agreement may be
assigned without NetGravity's consent to an affiliate controlled by or
under common control with Licensee or to any successor by merger or
acquisition of all or substantially all of Licensee's assets, provided
that such assignee is bound by law or written agreements to all of the
obligations of the assigning party under this Agreement. Subject to
the 1foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of
the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. If
such acquiror is [***], then Licensee shall have no further rights to
any custom development and the support obligations under the Existing
Agreements shall terminate six months after the effective date of such
acquisition and such competitor shall not be entitled to source code
under the escrow provisions herein.
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.
The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
8. NetGravity agrees to enter into within 15 days of the date hereof a
Source Code Escrow Agreement in the form of the Preferred Escrow Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit E and will place into escrow the source code,
design, documentation, information and instructions on the building/compiling
of the source code, and such other materials as may reasonably necessary for
Licensee to utilize such escrow materials for support of the Software. The
conditions for release of the source code shall be, in addition to those set
forth therein, limited to (i) NetGravity's material breach of its warranty
obligations and support obligations under the Existing Agreement which
remains uncured for 30 days (or 10 days with respect to Priority 1 or
Priority 2 errors as defined in the attached Exhibit C) from notice to cure
or if not capable of being cured within such time NetGravity fails to use its
best efforts to effect such cure.
9. In the event of release of source code from the escrow, Licensee shall
have the right to use the escrowed materials to perform support services and
to make modifications to the Licensed Software for internal use consistent
with the license granted in the License Agreement. The escrow license shall
be perpetual or until such time as NetGravity has cured the breach which gave
rise to the release from escrow. Licensee shall be responsible for a
associated escrow fees after the first year, the first year of which shall be
borne by NetGravity.
10. The parties agree to amend the Indemnity section of the above
referenced NetGravity AdServer License Agreement by adding the following to
the end of Section 7.1:
If NetGravity terminates under subsection (iii) within the first four
(4) years from the Effective Date, NetGravity will refund a pro-rata
portion of the license fees (the refundable amount being determined by
the total license fees reduced reduced each month by 1/48th of the
total). If NetGravity terminates under subsection (iii) at any time
after the Effective Date, NetGravity will refund any prepaid
subscription and support fees applicable to the remaining period for
which the services will be terminated.
