   Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
                Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.

                       MOVER'S GUIDE-TM- SPONSOR AGREEMENT

I.       PARTIES

This agreement, including all attachments (the "Agreement"), sets forth the sole
and exclusive terms and conditions governing the relationship between
Furniture.com ("Sponsor" or "Advertiser") and Targeted Marketing Solutions, Inc.
d/b/a Imagitas ("'Imagitas"), regarding Sponsor's participation in the official
United States Postal Service Mover's Guide-TM- (-C- 1998 Targeted Marketing
Solutions, Inc.), as defined below for the product Category (the "Category") of:
Household Furniture.

II.      BACKGROUND

Imagitas has developed a booklet called the Mover's Guide-TM- (the "MG"), for
reaching people that are moving and Imagitas owns all copyrights and trademarks
associated with the MG other than any copyrights or trademarks associated with
the advertisements placed by the advertisers in the MG.

The MG contains the United States Postal Service ("USPS") change of address
forms, certain editorial information that may be helpful to people changing
residences, and moving-related advertisements.

Imagitas will produce the MG and distribute copies of it primarily through post
offices and/or through other USPS distribution channels (i.e. letter carriers,
USPS Material Distribution Centers).

Imagitas will use reasonable commercial efforts to print and distribute the MG
with Sponsor's advertisement through United States Post Offices, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

III.     CATEGORY DEFINITION; EXCLUSIVITY

One category(s) is being solicited for The Mover's Guide: Household Furniture.
The following category rights and product features are included in the
solicitation:

         A.       HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE CATEGORY

CATEGORY RIGHTS

The exclusive right to advertise Household Furniture, which includes the
following:

<PAGE>

         -        tables, chairs, beds, sofas, china cabinets, desks, dressers,
                  bureaus, armoires, credenzas, wall units, shelving units,
                  sideboards, toy chests, lamps, mirrors

The non-exclusive right to advertise the sub-categories listed below are
guaranteed, though potentially shared (other retailers or manufacturers may also
have rights to advertise items in these sub-categories):

         -        wall decor
         -        area rugs and other floor coverings

The Household Furniture category EXCLUDES, but not limited to, the
sub-categories listed below:

         -        Linens (bed, including pillows; and bath)
         -        Home Accessories (window coverings, kitchenware, tabletop)
         -        Appliances (large and small kitchen appliances)
         -        Electronics (TV, VCR, stereo, computers)
         -        Light fixtures

The conditional right to advertise:

         -        Mattresses
         -        Box Springs.

         (The conditional ability to advertise the sub-categories listed above,
         along with other sponsors that may have this conditional right, until
         these sub-categories have been awarded to another advertiser in
         accordance with the Fair Solicitation Policy. When these conditional
         sub-categories are ready to be sold, Sponsor will have an opportunity
         to purchase these categories in accordance with the Fair Solicitation
         Process.)

Competing furniture retailers will not be solicited for other categories. Based
on Imagitas' due diligence, this would exclude any potential sponsors whose core
business is Household Furniture (as defined by the exclusive rights granted in
this solicitation) and that Household Furniture (as defined by the exclusive
rights granted in this solicitation) accounts for 50% or more of their revenue.

MG FEATURES:

         -        one page of advertising in the Mover's Guide

NOTE: Only one creative execution per print run is possible within a purchased
geography (currently three print runs per year).

agents and representatives on a strict need to know basis, any information or
data provided by Sponsor that is marked or otherwise explicitly designated as
confidential. Sponsor agrees not to disclose to third parties, other than its
own authorized agents and representatives on a strict need to know basis, any
information regarding this Agreement, the MG or any aspects of its production

or business information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information that is or
becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed
confidential. Sponsor further agrees not to promote the MG to the public in any
way without the prior written approval of Imagitas, which approval shall not be

(the "Materials"). In addition to the approval rights specified in the preceding
sentence, each party shall solicit and reasonably consider the views of the
other Party in designing and implementing such Materials. Once approved, the

<PAGE>



standards, specifications, due dates and other requirements (collectively, the

(i) Imagitas shall have the right to reject any advertisement that does not

its failure to timely submit advertisements and data in compliance with the
Rules.

III.  INDEMNIFICATION

Sponsor, their officers, directors, agents, employees and authorized
representatives from and against any and all damages, loss, cost, liability,

demands, causes of action and judgments, arising from or relating to: (1)
Sponsor's advertisement or promotion of any product or service in the MG; (2)
Sponsor's breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement;

power to enter into this Agreement; that all corporate actions and approvals
have been taken which are necessary to make this Agreement a binding and
enforceable obligation of Sponsor; and that Sponsor's execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement is not in conflict with, and will not cause an
event of default under, any agreement or instrument to which Sponsor is bound.
Sponsor further represents and warrants that any materials or data that Sponsor
provides to Imagitas for inclusion in the advertising space purchased by Sponsor
shall be material that Sponsor has the full right to publish/include and have
published/included in the MG, and Imagitas' publishing of such material shall
not constitute an infringement of any other party's personal or proprietary
rights, including, but not limited to, any rights under patent, copyright and

makes any promises or representations in its materials, Sponsor will fully
perform such promises and representations.

Imagitas hereby represents and warrants to Sponsor that Imagitas has the full
power to enter into this Agreement; that all corporate actions and approvals
have been taken which are necessary to make this Agreement a binding and
enforceable obligation of Imagitas; that by entering into this Agreement
Imagitas is not in default of any obligation to any third party; and that
Imagitas' execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is not in
conflict with, and will not cause an event of default under any agreement or
instrument to which Imagitas is bound. Imagitas further represents and warrants
that it has an agreement with the USPS pursuant to which Imagitas has the right
to administer the MG program as set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise
explicitly stated in this Agreement, Imagitas disclaims all warranties, whether
express or implied, written or oral, with respect to any goods or services to be

Association ("AAA") in accordance with its then prevailing Commercial
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place at the AAA offices in New
York City before a single arbitrator chosen pursuant to normal AAA procedures.
Arbitration is the sole and exclusive method by which any dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any aspect whatsoever of the relationship
between Sponsor and Imagitas may be resolved. In any such arbitration, all
disputes between Sponsor and Imagitas arising out of or relating to this
Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the law of the State of New York,
without regard to its conflicts of law principles. The arbitrator is not
authorized to award exemplary or punitive damages. Without limiting any other
indemnity obligation set forth herein, Sponsor specifically agrees that it will
indemnify Imagitas for all costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and
expenses) arising from Sponsor's breach of this paragraph.

VI.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event will either Imagitas or the USPS, their officers, directors,
affiliates, employees, representatives, agents or shareholders be liable (either
in contract, warranty, tort, or otherwise) to Sponsor or any of its officers,
directors, affiliates, employees, representatives or shareholders for any
consequential, incidental or indirect damages, including cost, profits, costs
savings or for any exemplary or punitive damages.

VII.       PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION


                                        9

<PAGE>



Imagitas uses reasonable commercial efforts to print and distribute sufficient
the MG copies to serve the moving population and the needs of the USPS. On a
national basis, approximately 9,800 post offices receive the MGs via direct
shipment (automatic shipments following each print run) and approximately 28,200
post offices order the MG booklets through two USPS Material Distribution
Centers (on an as-needed basis). The direct shipment post offices represent
approximately 80% of annual move volume. Sponsor agrees and acknowledges that
Imagitas has the right to reduce or increase the MG volume direct shipped to
individual regions based upon the availability of direct shipment post offices
or based upon any reasonable commercial need. In the event such an adjustment is
made, the Purchase Price to be paid by Sponsor shall be adjusted pro rata.


                                       10

<PAGE>




The MG is printed three times annually. Print runs begin April 1, August 1, and
December 1 (Imagitas reserves the right to revise the printing schedule in its
sole discretion). During each print run of the MG, approximately 25,000,000
booklets are printed (approximately 75,000,000 annually). Printing lasts
approximately 30 days. Delivery of booklets to direct ship post offices begins
approximately 15 days following the first day of the print run, and is complete
approximately 60 days following the first day of print run. The MG booklets are
delivered to the Material Distribution Center beginning approximately 15 days
following the first day of the print run.

The MG is very different from traditional print media that are distributed on a
daily, weekly, or monthly basis. In executing this Agreement, Sponsor recognizes
that Imagitas does not have ultimate control over the acts or omissions of the
USPS, including, control of the lobbies or storage rooms of post offices, or the
satchels or delivery vehicles used by over 350,000 Postal carriers. Sponsor
further acknowledges that Imagitas makes no representation or warranty as to the
MG turnover velocity, (i.e., the rate at which new MGs are introduced or
distributed and/or old MGs are replaced at post offices) and that Imagitas will
not be held liable in any manner for any claim based upon the MG turnover
velocity. Imagitas and the USPS require lengthy expiration dates and encourage
advertisers to develop unique, move-related advertising appropriate for at least
a yearly cycle in view of the uncertainty of turnover velocity.

The MG does not target groups of movers (e.g., businesses or homeowners) or
types of households (e.g., single dwelling unit (SDU), multi-dwelling unit
(MDU), or apartment). Neither Imagitas nor the USPS makes any representation,
warranty, or guarantee as to whether or when Households may choose to file a
change of address card with the USPS or whether a household is owned or rented
by the occupant.

               ATTACHMENT B: ADVERTISING FAIR SOLICITATION POLICY

ADVERTISING FAIR SOLICITATION START DATE:    AUGUST 3, 1999
ADVERTISING FAIR SOLICITATION END DATE:      AUGUST 16, 1999 - 5:30 P.M. EASTERN
                                             TIME

PROCESS FOR FAIR TREATMENT OF POTENTIAL SPONSORS

Imagitas is offering category exclusivity for the Category specified in this
Agreement (the "Category") to advertisers that purchase space in the MG. Sponsor
and other competing companies are being offered the opportunity to participate
in the MG for the Category according to the process for fair treatment of
potential Sponsors, as described below:

Imagitas shall undertake reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that all
companies offering services in the Category and having national distribution or
substantial regional distribution will be sent written notification on the same
day and by the same method (the "Fair Start Date") of the program description
and the opportunity to secure category exclusive advertising space in the MG.
The companies will then have ten (10) business days from the Fair Start Date
(the "Response Period") in which to offer to purchase space in the MG for the
purchase price described in the Sponsor Agreement ("Purchase Price"), by
returning to Imagitas an executed copy of the Sponsor Agreement and a deposit as
specified in the Sponsor Agreement (the "deposit").

ONE ADVERTISER RESPONSE WITHIN THE RESPONSE PERIOD

Should only one advertiser in the Category provide Imagitas with an executed
copy of the Sponsor Agreement and the deposit within the Response Period, that
advertiser will secure the advertising space for the term of the Sponsor
Agreement (category exclusivity is offered only in those MGs containing the
advertiser's message).

NO RESPONSE AFTER THE RESPONSE PERIOD

Should no advertiser move to secure the advertising space in the Category during
the Response Period, Imagitas is free to accept any bid or all bids received
after the Response Period. Imagitas reserves the right, however, to move to a
Tie Breaking Process (described below) if, after the Response Period, two or
more companies provide Imagitas with the Sponsor Agreement and the deposit for
participation at the same level on the same business day.

MULTIPLE ADVERTISER RESPONSE WITHIN THE RESPONSE PERIOD

In the event that Imagitas receives an executed copy of the Sponsor Agreement
from two or more potential advertisers for the Category within the Response
Period and Imagitas determines in its sole discretion that each such Sponsor
Agreement is of the same approximate value, then the Category will

                                       13

<PAGE>



move to the Tie Breaking Process described below and all potential advertisers
that provided Imagitas with signed Sponsor Agreements and deposits shall be
permitted to participate in the Tie Breaking Process. In determining value,
Imagitas may consider any changes made to the Sponsor Agreement whether such
changes are made to economic, business or legal terms - as reducing the value of
such Agreement.

TIE BREAKING PROCESS

In the event that the procedures set forth above require that companies
participate in the Tie Breaking Process described herein, and Imagitas
determines that it is unable to redefine the Category so as to avoid conflict
between the advertisers, Imagitas will send such companies a notice ("Tie
Breaking Notice"), which will state that such companies shall have five (5)
business days from receipt of Tie Breaking Notice to deliver to Imagitas an
Agreement selecting participation in the MG at a value greater than that
specified in such company's previously executed Sponsor Agreement. The company
whose bid provides the greatest value as determined by Imagitas in its sole
discretion shall be awarded the Category. If no company submits a bid or if the
Tie Breaking Process results in another tie, then Imagitas shall be free to go
on to subsequent rounds as necessary, or accept any current or previous offer.
Sponsor acknowledges that any bid or offers previously made shall constitute
irrevocable offers to purchase space in the amount and at the price specified
therein until a company is awarded the Category.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Imagitas reserves the absolute right to
reject at any time any executed Sponsor Agreement that has been altered or
amended by Sponsor or to request that an executed Sponsor Agreement be
resubmitted without alterations.

      ATTACHMENT C: UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MOVER'S GUIDE-TM- ("MG")
                         ADVERTISING AND COPY STANDARDS

ADVERTISING STANDARDS: All advertising copy and products or services are subject
to review by Imagitas and the USPS. Specific requirements contained herein have
been developed and must be met by all advertisers. These include truthfulness,
safety, efficacy and financial responsibility.

It is not encouraged for any MG Advertiser to make any claims against
competitors in advertising placed in the MG. Advertisers are prohibited from
making any references that disparage other companies or providers of
moving-related products and services, regardless of whether such companies are
advertising in the MG.

COPY REGULATIONS:

1) Imagitas will not accept advertising for the MG that features non-moving
related products or services as defined by Imagitas. Furthermore, advertising
creative must clearly reflect the moving-related benefit. Copy should not use
the term "new mover" to describe the Postal customer receiving this mailing.
Further, neither Imagitas nor any advertising sponsor has access to names and
address of the Postal Service's moving customers, and these programs must not be
confused with industry "new mover" programs that distribute solicitations to
compiled lists.

Testimonials and endorsements should be used only if they are: 1) authorized by
the person(s) quoted; 2) genuine and related to the experience of the person who
has given them both at the time made and at the time of promotion; and 3) not
taken out of context so as to distort the endorser's opinion or experience with
the product or service.

The use of sweepstakes as part of a sponsor's promotional offer is prohibited.
Sweepstakes promotions are currently under scrutiny by the US Congress, and
there is legislation pending that would require copy notifications on the
external envelope of any sweepstakes mailing. Sweepstakes offers will not be
approved.

2) Advertising will not be accepted that includes editorial or graphics for
products or services outside of the category secured by Sponsor as defined in
the body of the Agreement unless Sponsor receives written approval from
Imagitas.

3) The Advertiser represents and warrants that it will not use the names or
logos of the USPS in their MG advertisement or other promotional or
informational material for the advertised product or service without the express
written consent of the USPS. USPS Express Mail -Registered Trademark- and
Priority Mail -Registered Trademark- services are exceptions to this policy.
Advertisers offering expedited delivery of any materials or products are
encouraged to use either of these USPS delivery vehicles and should either
service be offered through the advertisement, use of the Express Mail and
Priority Mail logos will be authorized.

                                       15

4) Any form(s) included in the MG for the purpose of address collection or any
addresses portrayed in Sponsor's advertisements must adhere to the ADDRESS
STANDARDIZATION REQUIREMENTS in Attachment D.

5) All advertisements must be submitted to Imagitas for pre-approval at least 15
days prior established film due date listed in print specifications. Sponsor
bears complete and total responsibility for ensuring any proposed advertisements
sent are received by Imagitas. Failure to meet specified advertising submission
deadlines may result in missing insertion. Imagitas is not responsible for
failure to meet deadline(s) and no refunds will be made. Sponsor must provide
Imagitas with a color comp of its advertisement 5 days prior to the Final Film
Date.

6) It is expected that all advertising materials (and, if applicable, data)
submitted to Imagitas be before scheduled deadlines, 100% accurate in content
and per specifications. In the event errors exist in submitted materials and
revisions are required, Imagitas assumes no responsibility for revisions.
Accordingly, Sponsor agrees and acknowledges that in no event will Imagitas be
liable to Sponsor in any manner or for any form of damages, whether direct or
indirect, for any revisions or modifications in submitted materials or for the
creation of new materials that are authorized by Sponsor or required per
specifications, regardless of whether such revisions/new materials are made in
whole or in part by Sponsor or Imagitas. Without limiting any other indemnity
obligation of Sponsor, Sponsor further agrees that it shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Imagitas and its agents against any claims, damages or
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from or relating to
revisions of submitted materials/creation of new materials pursuant to this
paragraph.

7) All advertising must be clearly identified by the trade name, trademark or
signature of the advertiser.

8) Words such as "advertisement" will be placed with copy which in Imagitas'
opinion resembles editorial matter.

9) Advertisers are encouraged to have lengthy expiration dates on their
product/service offers: minimum expiration date is nine (9) months from print
run, twelve (12) months or more is encouraged.

10) In the event of any conflict or dispute of any kind regarding category
definition or any conflict of any kind as to the scope of an exclusivity right,
Imagitas shall have the right to make the final determination in its sole
discretion.

11) Sponsor agrees to conform to the specification guidelines determined by
Imagitas as contained in this Agreement and its Attachments. Sponsor
acknowledges that in the event it fails to conform to the specifications or due
dates mandated by Imagitas, Imagitas may not be able to perform in whole or in
part under this Agreement. Sponsor further acknowledges that Sponsor shall not
be entitled to any reduction in purchase price or any remedy whatsoever if
Imagitas' performance under this Agreement is

                                       16

<PAGE>



deficient in any manner due to Sponsor's failure to conform to these
specifications or due dates, including but not limited to, if applicable,
inaccuracies in the data provided by the Sponsor.

12) Imagitas reserves the right to reject at any time, advertising for any
reasonable reason (such as, but not limited to, advertisements that conflict in
any way, with a goal, product, or policy of the USPS, conflict with another
advertiser's exclusive rights, or do not meet the Advertising and Copy Standards
set forth herein and as interpreted by Imagitas).

13) Film (and, if applicable, data) is due 45 days prior to start date of
program for all advertising ("Final Film Date").
