Terrill <\/p> \n<p>[redacted]<\/p> \n<p>Dear Lisa, <\/p>  <p>On behalf of Intermix Media, Inc. (\u0093Intermix\u0094 or the \u0093Company\u0094), I am delighted to summarize the terms and conditions of\nan offer of employment with the Company. Upon your acceptance, these terms will be incorporated in a comprehensive employment agreement for execution by both parties. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Andy Knox with any questions or comments\nthat you may have on the content of this document or our intentions, as well as any related issues. <\/p> \n\n\n\nI.<u>Role and Reporting Relationship<\/u> <p>You will join the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and report directly to me in my capacity as Chief Executive Officer. In\naddition to your role as the Company\u0092s senior financial executive, you will also oversee human resources, be an executive officer of the Company and participate with the Company\u0092s other executive officers and senior management in setting\nand executing company policy and direction. <\/p> \n\n\nII.<u>Compensation and Benefits<\/u> <p>We have customized components of the Company\u0092s compensation and benefits programs to suit your particular needs. You will be eligible to participate\nin all of the programs available to executive officers at Intermix, subject, of course, to the terms and conditions of those programs and the Company\u0092s policies with respect to their implementation. Please keep in mind that a cornerstone of our\ncompensation philosophy is the link between executive compensation and corporate performance and <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMs. Lisa M. TerrillMarch 17, 2005\n\nPage 2 of 4\n<p>returns to\nstockholders. Your compensation and benefits will include the items summarized below: <\/p> \n\n\n\n<p>\u0095 <u>Base Annual Salary<\/u> - $225,000 initially. Your performance will be reviewed annually along with that of the senior executives of the Company generally. Adjustments to your\n  base salary, if any, will be made at that time. <\/p>\n<p>\u0095 <u>Performance Bonus<\/u> - you will participate in the annual incentive program of Intermix as established from year to year upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of\n  the Company\u0092s Board of Directors. For fiscal year 2005 (ending March 31, 2005), executive officers are eligible to earn awards in the range of zero to sixty percent (60%) of their base salary based upon achievement of Company performance\n  metrics. The target award under the Program is thirty percent (30%) of base salary, based upon achievement of 100% of the performance criteria, which amount may increase or decrease based upon exceeding or falling short of such targets. <\/p>\n<p>\u0095 <u>Equity<\/u> - is a very important component of the compensation philosophy of Intermix Media. The Compensation Committee of the Company\u0092s Board of Directors has adopted a\n  Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan (\u0093LTECP\u0094) with respect to the administration of the Company\u0092s 2004 Stock Awards Plan. Under the LTECP, stock - awards to executive officers are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee,\n  subject to Board approval. I will recommend to the Compensation Committee that, at the earliest possible opportunity, you be granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company\u0092s common stock which option would vest over 4 years with\n  25% of the option vesting one year after the date of grant and the pro-rata remainder vesting quarterly thereafter. The strike price of the option will be market price as of the date of grant. The Company is presently working with Mercer to\n  reevaluate the LTECP and to establish guidelines for the award of restricted stock or restricted stock units. We expect that you will play a role in this process given your finance and human resources responsibilities, working closely with Jim\n  Quandt, Chair of the Compensation Committee. <\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><hr size=\"3\" color=\"#999999\" width=\"100%\" align=\"CENTER\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Lisa M.
