this Agreement for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of the 
loss of prospective profits, or anticipated sales, or on account of 
expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with the

9      INSURANCE

Participant, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure and maintain adequate

coverage shall include Worker's Compensation Insurance (or self insurance, if 
applicable law permits), Employers Liability Insurance, Comprehensive 
Automobile Liability Insurance, Umbrella Liability Insurance, Professional 
Liability Insurance, and Commercial General Liability Insurance, and include 
a waiver of subrogation in Netscape's favor. Maintenance of the foregoing 
insurance shall in no way be interpreted as relieving Participant of any 
responsibility or obligation whatsoever and Participant may acquire, at its 
own expense, such additional insurance as Participant deems necessary. 
Participant assumes full and complete liability for all injuries to, or death 
of, any person, or for any damages to property arising from the acts or 
omissions of Participant. Participant shall add Netscape as an additional 
insured under such coverage and provide copies thereof and waivers of 
subrogation to Netscape within 30 days of the Effective Date. Before any 
cancellation or material change in any coverage, Participant shall provide 
Netscape with 30 days' advance written notice. Participant's insurance shall 
be primary to any other insurance Netscape may have. All insurance shall be 
written by companies with a current A.M. Best rating of A-, VI or better.

10     DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute hereunder will be negotiated between the parties commencing upon 
written notice from one party to the other. Settlement discussions and 
materials will be confidential and inadmissible in any subsequent proceeding 
without both parties' consent. If the dispute is not resolved by negotiation 
within 45 days following such notice, the parties will refer the dispute to 
non-binding mediation conducted by JAMS/EndDispute in Santa Clara County, 
California (the 'Venue'). The parties will share the costs of mediation. If 
the dispute is not resolved after 45 days of mediation, the parties will 
refer the dispute to binding arbitration by JAMS/EndDispute in the Venue. The 
results of any arbitration will be final and non-appeallable, except that 
either party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction in the Venue to 
review any decision relating to intellectual property matters (including the 
scope of license rights), vacating or modifying erroneous conclusions of law 
or findings of fact not supported by substantial evidence. The arbitrator may 
fashion any legal or equitable remedy exceptpunitive or exemplary damages, 
which both parties waive. The arbitrator will render a written decision, 
which may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, 
but which will have no preclusive effect in other matters involving third 
parties. The losing party will pay the costs of the arbitration and the 
reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party, as determined by 
the arbitrator. The parties will jointly pay arbitration costs pending a 
final allocation by the arbitrator. At any point in the dispute resolution 
process, either party may seek injunctive relief preserving the status quo 
pending the outcome of that process. Except as noted, the parties waive any 
right to judicial process. The U.S. Arbitration Act and JAMS/EndDispute rules 
will govern the arbitration process. Absent fraudulent concealment, neither 
party may raise a claim more than 3 years after it arises or any shorter 
period provided by applicable statutes of limitations. California law, 
without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions, will govern this Agreement.

11     REPORTS AND AUDIT

11.1   Participant Reports to Netscape. In addition to the reporting 
requirement set forth in Exhibit B, Participant shall provide reports to 
Netscape as follows:

       (a) Weekly Log Reports. On a weekly basis, Participant shall provide 
Netscape with the daily user access logs for the Service in common log 
format, including information on the total number of hits and page 
impressions for Service Page and such other tracking information as the 
parties shall mutually agree. The information contained in the report shall 
be Netscape's and Participant's Confidential Information, provided, however 
that (i) Netscape shall have the right to use the information contained in 
such reports in Netscape's private and public reporting of access to the 
Service and Netscape's Web Site; and (ii) Participant shall have the right to 
use aggregated information about end users for marketing and financial 
reporting purposes. All end user related data shall be collected in

CONFIDENTIAL                          12                   Rev. 082598



the search field will initially only cover content within the Service itself. 
If an end user is given the option of expanding the scope of the search to 
encompass the World Wide Web, the search engines driving such query shall be 
one or more of Netscape's Local Language Net Search Program search engines, 
as Netscape shall determine.  Netscape reserves the right to review the 
financial effect of the search field in the Service as such search 
functionality may impact Netscape's own Net Search Program and require that 
the Internet-wide search functionality in the Service be minimized or  
deleted. Within 15 days of the end of each month during the Term, Participant 
shall provide Netscape with monthly reports detailing the following 
information for each day during the month covered in the report: (i) the 
number of times the Service's internal search field as well as each of 
Netscape's Local Language Search Program search engines were selected and 
'clicked' on by end users; and (ii) any information about users and user 
client software Participant may collect whether such information is 
user-given or technology-provided. Netscape shall determine the format and 
the date of submission for this monthly report. The information contained in 
each report shall be Netscape's and Participant's Confidential Information; 
however, Netscape reserves the right to provide the information contained in 
the report to the Net Search Program companies in a format mutually agreed 
upon by the parties.

(d) Audit Rights. Either party shall have the right, upon no less than 30 
days prior written notice, to cause an independent Certified Public 
Accountant to inspect and audit, during the other party's normal business 
hours, all relevant records upon which such reports are based, including, 
without limitation, the access logs. The costs of such audit shall be paid by 
the auditing party, provided, however, that if such inspection shall reveal 
an underpayment in excess of 5 percent of monies due, the party being audited 
shall pay for the audit. These audit rights as described herein shall 
continue for 2 years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
No such audit may occur more than once a year during the Term.

11.2   Netscape Reports to Participant. Netscape shall provide Participant 
with the reports described in Exhibit B, and if Netscape elects to exercise 
the option to maintain the Services Index Pages on the Netscape servers 
pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Netcenter Special Terms, then Netscape shall 
provide Participants the reports as set forth in subsection (a) below:

       (a) Netscape shall provide Participant with reports on the traffic to 
the Service, including information describing the number of redirects of 
traffic to the Service from Netscape's Web Site and such other tracking 
information as the parties shall mutually agree. On a monthly basis, Netscape 
shall provide Participant with a report to verify the traffic to the Service 
Index Page.

shall prevail exclusively over any written instrument submitted by 
Participant, including any report, invoice or purchase order, and Participant 
hereby disclaims any terms therein, except for terms required under Section 
11.1 of the General Terms.

12.9   Independent Contractors. The parties acknowledge and agree that they 
are dealing with each other hereunder as independent contractors. Nothing 
contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted as constituting either party

II.    REGISTRATION PROCESS

To the extent that Participant desires to offer a registration process,

Registration and the integration of the Service with Netcenter Registration. 
The functionality, design, and, integration of the Service Registration 
process and Netcenter Registration will be subject to Netscape's approval, 
terms and conditions as defined this Agreement. Such specifications, terms 
and conditions may be revised by Netscape from time to time upon 30 days 
prior notice to Participant. Participant will implement changes within a 30 
day period unless the parties mutually agreed otherwise. The point of entry 
to the registration area from the Service shall be hosted and controlled by 
Netscape unless otherwise determined by Netscape.

III.   REGISTRATION FEATURES

The Service Registration area shall be co-branded and have a look and feel 
which is consistent with the implementation of the registration process in 
other sections of Netcenter. Participant shall not launch the Service 
Registration until Netscape has notified Participant in writing that Netscape 
has accepted Participant's implementation. Participant shall manage site 
access using Netcenter site access models, as such site access models shall 
be determined by Netscape from time to time upon notice to Participant.

Service Registration process at Netscape's request. Participant shall deliver 
to Netscape data collected pursuant to such loyalty programs in a format and 
timeframe as mutually agreed to by the parties.

V.     DATA TRANSFER

Participant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer all end 
user data collected during the Service Registration process and data 
collected by any other means relating to the Service, to Netscape in real 
time data transfer, excluding individual credit and purchase information 
(such as credit card number, purchase order numbers, corporate accounting 
codes) and data as otherwise agreed to by the parties.  Netscape reserves the 
right to request any information collected during the Service Registration to 
be supplied in a Netscape specified format and timeframe. If Participant 
collects information about users accessing the Service in addition to 
information supplied by the users during the registration process, such 
information shall be made available to Netscape in a format and timeframe as 
the parties shall mutually agree.

VI.    NETCENTER CONSIDERATIONS

customer order form based on information in the Netcenter database or 
seamlessly pass this information to the third party provider.

obtained in connection with registering for the Service. Neither party shall 
disclose to any third party such end user data and information; provided, 
however, either party may use and disclose end user data and information for

                                   EXHIBIT D
                    MUTUAL CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, Netscape Communications Corporation ('Netscape') has developed unique 
and proprietary computer programs; and WHEREAS, ______________________________. 
('Company') and Netscape are entering into a business relationship.

NOW, THEREFORE:

Each party (the 'Receiving Party') understands that the other party (the 
'Disclosing Party') has disclosed or may disclose information (including, 
without limitation, computer programs, code, algorithms, names and expertise 
of employees and consultants, know-how, formulas, processes, ideas, 
inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics and other technical, 
business, financial and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and 
information), which to the extent previously, presently, or subsequently 
disclosed to the Receiving Party is hereinafter referred to as 'Proprietary 
Information' of the Disclosing Party whether disclosed orally, in writing, or 
otherwise. All Proprietary Information disclosed in tangible form by the 
Disclosing Party shall be marked 'confidential' or 'proprietary', and all 
Proprietary Information disclosed orally or otherwise in intangible form by 
the Disclosing Party shall be designated as confidential or proprietary at 
the time of disclosure and shall be reduced to writing and delivered to the 
Receiving Party within thirty (30) days following the date of disclosure. 

In consideration of the parties' discussions and any access the Receiving 
Party may have to Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, the 
Receiving Party hereby agrees as follows:

       1. The Receiving Party agrees (i) to hold the Disclosing Party's 
Proprietary Information in confidence and to take all reasonably necessary 
precautions to protect such Proprietary Information (including, without 
limitation, all precautions the Receiving Party employs with respect to its 
own confidential materials), (ii) not to divulge any such Proprietary 
Information or any information derived therefrom to any third person, (iii) 
not to make any use whatsoever at any time of such Proprietary Information 
except as provided in the Net Search and Net Directory Program (Distinguished 
Provider) Agreement ('Distinguished Agreement') between Netscape and Company 
dated as of _______________ to which this Agreement is attached as an 
Exhibit, (iv) not to remove or export any such Proprietary Information from 
the country of the Receiving Party, and (v) not to copy or reverse engineer, 
reverse compile or attempt to derive the composition or underlying 
information of any such Proprietary Information. The Receiving Party shall 
limit the use of and access to the Disclosing Party's Proprietary Information 
to those of the Receiving Party's employees who need to know such Proprietary 
Information for the purpose of such internal evaluation and shall cause such 
employees to comply with the obligations set forth herein. The Receiving 
Party shall treat the Proprietary Information with at least the same degree 
of care and protection as it would use with respect to its own proprietary 
information. The foregoing obligations shall survive for a period of three 
(3) years from the date of disclosure of the Proprietary Information. Without 
granting any right or license, the Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing 
shall not apply with respect to information that (i) is in the public domain 
and is available at the time of disclosure or which thereafter enters the 
public domain and is available, through no improper action or inaction by the 
Receiving Party or any affiliate, agent or employee, or (ii) was in the 
Receiving Party's possession or known by it prior to receipt from the 
Disclosing Party, or (iii) was rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by 
another person without restriction, or (iv) is independently developed by the 
Receiving Party without access to such Proprietary Information, or (v) is 
required to be disclosed pursuant to any statutory or regulatory authority, 
provided the Disclosing Party is given prompt notice of such requirement and 
the scope of such disclosure is limited to the extent possible, or is 
required to be disclosed by a court order, provided the Disclosing Party is 
given prompt notice of such order and provided the opportunity to contest it.

       2.      Immediately upon a request by the Disclosing Party at any 
time, the Receiving Party will turn over to the Disclosing Party all 
Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party and all documents or media 
containing any such Proprietary Information

and any and all copies or extracts thereof. The Receiving Party understands 
that nothing herein requires the disclosure of any Proprietary Information of 
the Disclosing Party, which shall be disclosed, if at all, as required under 
the Distinguished Agreement or at the option of the Disclosing Party.

       3.      Except to the extent required by law, as set forth in this 
Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, neither party 
shall disclose the existence or subject matter of the negotiations or 
business relationship contemplated by this Agreement, or the content and 
terms of the Distinguished Agreement.

       4.      The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the 
unique nature of the Disclosing Party's Proprietary Information, there can be 
no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that 
any such breach may allow the Receiving Party or third parties to unfairly 
compete with the Disclosing Party resulting in irreparable harm to the 
Disclosing Party, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat 
thereof, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable 
relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law. The Receiving 
Party will notify the Disclosing Party in writing immediately upon the 
occurrence of any such unauthorized release or other breach. In the event 
that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or 
other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remaining 
portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

       5.      Neither party acquires any intellectual property rights under 
this Agreement or any disclosure hereunder, except the limited right to use 
such Proprietary Information in accordance with this Agreement. No warranties 
of any kind are given with respect to the Proprietary Information disclosed 
under this Agreement or any use thereof, except as may be otherwise agreed to 
in writing.

       6.      This Agreement together with the Distinguished Agreement 
supersede all prior discussions and writings with respect to the subject 
matter hereof and thereof, and constitute the entire agreement between the 
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No waiver or 
modification of this Agreement will be binding upon either party unless made 
in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such party and 
no failure or delay in enforcing any right will be deemed a waiver.
