         agreed upon number of ad requests during the Term, Company's sole
         remedy for such failure will be the extension of the Term by Microsoft
         at no additional cost to Company until the agreed upon number of ad
         requests as specified in Exhibit 1-A (the "TOTAL AD REQUESTS") (or
         other ad requests as the parties may agree) are provided.

5.       CANCELLATION. The parties agree that Section 6 of the Agreement shall
         be deemed deleted, and the following shall be deemed inserted therein:

         If either Microsoft or Company defaults under this Agreement, the
         non-defaulting party will notify the other in writing. If the failure
         is not cured within five (5) business days after written notice is
         received by the notified party, the non-defaulting party may terminate
         this Agreement immediately with no further obligation to the notified
         party. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, other than by

         A.       PLACEMENTS: Company will receive the Featured Sites words and
                  closely related variants set forth in Exhibit 1-D on a
                  non-exclusive basis commencing on the date of first exhibition
                  of Company's links by Microsoft and continuing through the end
                  of the Term. Company's site will receive placement in relevant

                  have been delivered. Microsoft reserves the right to update
                  the MSN Search template at any time during the Term.

                  efforts to deliver clicks to Company's site from search
                  results on any Microsoft site. Microsoft is not obligated to
                  deliver such clicks evenly throughout the Term. Failure by
                  Microsoft to deliver a certain number of clicks shall not be
                  deemed a breach of this Agreement or entitle Company to any
                  legal remedy.

                  either party may terminate the Featured Sites portion of this
                  Agreement upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
                  other party. In such event, the parties will be relieved of
                  their respective obligations with respect to the MSN Search
                  Featured Site placements, however, Microsoft will remain
                  obligated to provide the Total Ad Requests to Company, as set
                  forth in Section 8.A above. The cancellation rights set forth
                  in this Section 8 will not pertain to Company's Microsoft
                  Shopping Channel placements.

         D.       SPECIAL TERMS: (i) The final keyword and advertisement content
                  will be subject to mutual agreement of the parties. (ii)
                  Microsoft reserves the right to immediately suspend
                  distribution of Company's entire Featured Site listings
                  ("LISTINGS") if five percent (5%) or more of the total URL
                  links from Company are not functional and accessible, and any
                  such removal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement,
                  (iii) Company may update or refresh the Listings once every
                  ninety (90) days, or an alternate schedule contingent upon
                  seasonal promotions or product changes and agreed upon by the
                  parties. Updates will be scheduled by the parties following
                  the date upon which the Listings are first displayed. Company
                  will create and deliver to Microsoft all updated Listings at
                  least fourteen (14) days' prior to the first run date for such
                  Listing, and such updates will be subject to the same review
                  by Microsoft as a new Listing.

               PLATFORM FOR PRIVACY PREFERENCES PROJECT COMPLIANCE

To successfully use cookies, the privacy features of Internet Explorer 6 require
Web services to deploy compact privacy policies as defined by the Platform for
Privacy Preferences (P3P) Project developed by the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C). The Internet Explorer 6 privacy features filter cookies based on these
compact policies as well as the user's privacy settings. While some cookies
might not require a compact policy, implementing policies for all cookies is
strongly recommended.

Online privacy has become increasingly important to consumers, privacy advocates
and the government. Addressing these concerns is the responsibility of the
entire internet community. To address this Microsoft has implemented new privacy
tools into Internet Explorer 6 which utilize P3P. We urge you to consider
deploying P3P on your site to ensure the proper use of cookies you may set and
as a way to build a trust relationship with your users.

We will be having regular chats at Microsoft TechNet in the IT community
Technical Chats to discuss the privacy features, cookies and how to deploy P3P.

Below are links to help you begin deployment of P3P.

INTERNET EXPLORER PRIVACY FEATURE INFORMATION LINKS:

Privacy in Internet Explorer 6, a comprehensive overview, is the best place to
start learning about the new privacy features of Internet Explorer 6 and the Web
site changes required to successfully utilize cookies. Alternatively the online
presentation Internet Explorer 6 Privacy Features is a great introduction.

How to deploy P3P privacy policies on your Web site This overview explains the
steps to take when deploying P3P beginning with a natural language privacy
policy. The examples are over-simplified and used only to illustrate the steps
to deployment.

The Microsoft Privacy Statement Wizard This wizard will help you to quickly and
easily generate privacy policies and compact privacy policies to aid in P3P
deployment.

The Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 Deployment Guide is the deployment
guide from the W3C.

Resources For Creating P3P Based Privacy Statements is an online presentation
which describes resources available to aid in P3P deployment.

Internet Explorer 6 Privacy User Experience is an online presentation which
explains how users will interact with IE 6 as they utilize the privacy features.

Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P1.0) Specification is the actual W3C
candidate recommendation specifying P3P.
