                                                Confidential Treatment Requested


                        INTERACTIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT
                        -------------------------------

     This Interactive Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
February 15, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), is between America Online, Inc.
("AOL"), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, Virginia
20166, and HomeGrocer.com, Inc. ("Marketing Partner" or "MP") a Delaware
corporation, with offices at 10230 NE Points Drive, Kirkland, WA  98033-7879.
AOL and MP may be referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the
"Parties."

                                 INTRODUCTION
                                 ------------

     AOL and MP each desires to enter into an interactive marketing relationship
whereby AOL will promote and distribute an interactive site referred to (and
further defined) herein as the Affiliated MP Site (as defined in Section 2.1).
This relationship is further described below and is subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Defined terms used but not defined in
the body of the Agreement will be as defined on Exhibit B attached hereto.
                                                ---------

                                     TERMS
                                     -----

1.   PROMOTION, DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING.
     -------------------------------------

     1.1.  AOL Promotion of Affiliated MP Site.
           -----------------------------------

           1.1.1.  AOL will provide MP with the promotions (the "Promotions")
                   described on Exhibit A attached hereto for the Affiliated MP
                                ---------
                   Site (as defined in Section 2.1). Subject to MP's reasonable
                   approval, AOL will have the right to fulfill its promotional
                   commitments with respect to any of the foregoing by providing
                   MP comparable promotional placements in appropriate
                   alternative areas of the AOL Network. In addition, if AOL is
                   unable to deliver any particular Promotion, AOL will work
                   with MP to provide MP a comparable promotional placement. AOL
                   reserves the right to redesign or modify the organization,
                   structure, "look and feel," navigation and other elements of
                   the AOL Network at any time. In the event such modifications
                   materially and adversely affect any specific Promotion, AOL
                   will work with MP to provide MP, as its sole remedy, a
                   comparable promotional placement. As used throughout this
                   Agreement, the phrases "comparable promotional placements" or
                   "comparable promotions" shall mean placements which are of
                   comparable overall value, to be determined based on a variety
                   of factors, including size, quality, type (e.g., integrated
                   or banner), location (i.e., page or screen and the subject
                   matter thereof), demographically and geographically targeted
                   relevance, and audience reach (taking into account the
                   targeted nature of the placement). If the parties disagree
                   about whether any substitute promotional placements are
                   "comparable," either party may invoke the dispute resolution
                   procedures set forth in Section 7.

           1.1.2.  AOL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable
                   additional advertising slots in relevant channels on the AOL
                   Network for geo-targeted advertising to the local geographic
                   markets in which MP provides the Exclusive Product; provided,
                   however, that nothing herein shall require AOL to
                   specifically create such areas.

           1.1.3.  As soon as available and in all events by not later than the
                   second anniversary of the Effective Date (or such later date
                   as the parties may agree), AOL shall provide to MP an anchor
                   tenancy in a relevant department/commerce center of

"[***] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]"
<PAGE>

                   AOL's Shop@AOL shopping area (or its successor). AOL shall
                   provide MP with 90 days' written notice of an anchor tenancy
                   becoming available.

           1.1.4.  Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, the
                   Parties shall meet to review the Carriage Plan and devise a
                   switching matrix pursuant to which MP shall be permitted to
                   switch Promotions no more often than monthly for other
                   inventory which becomes available on the AOL Network;
                   provided, however, that all switching of Promotions shall be
                   subject to inventory availability and AOL's reasonable
                   approval. At the meeting the Parties shall, among other
                   things, make good faith efforts to establish minimum levels
                   of Impressions by Designated Exclusivity Area in order to
                   maintain exclusivity in such Designated Exclusivity Area,
                   and, in addition, shall revise the carriage plan to increase
                   geo-targeted Impressions (taking into account relative value
                   and the switching matrix) including allocation from Digital
                   City local sales force, establish future allocation for an
                   anchor tenancy in Shop@AOL as required under Section 1.1.3,
                   and reallocate the overallotment of Impressions in Calendar
                   and a possible reallocation of what may be an overallotment
                   of Impressions in Oxygen Cable.

     1.2.  Impressions Commitment.  During the Term, AOL shall deliver a minimum
           ----------------------
          of [***] Impressions which link to the Co-Branded Entry Page through
          the Promotions in accordance with Exhibit A and the timelines set
                                            ------- -
          forth therein (the "Impressions Commitment").  The Impressions targets
          specified on Exhibit A are the minimum amount of Impressions to be
                       ---------
          provided by AOL.  The parties will determine annually, beginning
          March 1, 2001, whether the actual Impressions targets for the
          immediately preceding year were met, and any shortfall in Impressions
          at the end of any year during the Term will not be deemed a breach of
          the Agreement by AOL so long as AOL promptly takes commercially
          reasonable action to remedy the situation with comparable Impressions.
          If a significant shortfall continues after six (6) months, either
          party may invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in
          Section 7 to fashion a strategy reasonably acceptable to MP to
          alleviate such continuing significant shortfall. In the event there is
          a shortfall in Impressions as of the end of the Term (a "Final
          Shortfall"), AOL will, within ninety days of the end of the Term,
          provide MP with Impressions equal in number to the Final Shortfall
          (the "Final Makegood"); provided, however, that, if the Final
          Shortfall is equal to a number of Impressions which is more than [***]
          percent ([***]%) of the total Impressions to be delivered hereunder in
          that year, then, upon written notice delivered to AOL within five (5)
          days of the end of the Term, MP shall be entitled to receive in lieu
          of the Final Makegood, a refund of the Payment, calculated in
          accordance with the Pro-Rata Refund Formula. The Parties agree that in
          each year during the term of this Agreement [***] percent ([***]%) of
          the Impressions will be for the Exclusive Product and not more than
          [***] percent ([***]%) of the Impressions may include references to MP
          Products other than traditional grocery store products.

     1.3.  Content of Promotions.  The Promotions will link only to the Co-
           ---------------------
           Branded Entry Page and will promote only the Exclusive Product and
           not more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Promotions each year
           shall promote MP Products other than everyday grocery products and
           services. The specific MP Content to be contained within the
           Promotions described in this Agreement (the "Promo Content") will be
           determined by MP, subject to AOL's technical limitations, the terms
           of this Agreement and AOL's then-applicable policies relating to
           advertising and promotions (the "Ad Policies"); provided, however,
           that MP shall have ninety (90) days from written notice of any new Ad
           Policy to comply and provided, further that if MP's compliance with
           such new Ad Policy is not technically feasible or commercially
           reasonable, AOL shall either waive such new Ad Policy for MP or
           provide MP with an equitable remedy to alleviate the effect of such
           new Ad Policy. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on
           an equitable remedy, the matter shall be

<PAGE>

           submitted to the Management Committee for resolution in accordance
           with dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 7 of this
           Agreement. MP will submit in advance to AOL for its review a
           quarterly online marketing plan with respect to the Affiliated MP
           Site. The Parties will meet in person or by telephone at least
           monthly to review operations and performance hereunder, including a
           review of the Promo Content to ensure that it is designed to maximize
           performance. MP will periodically update the Promo Content. Except to
           the extent expressly described herein, the specific form, placement,
           duration and nature of the Promotions will be as determined by AOL in
           its reasonable editorial discretion (consistent with the editorial
           composition of the applicable screens). Either Party may invoke the
           dispute resolution procedures of Section 7 in the event that the
           requirements of this Section 1.3 materially adversely affect the
           rights of such Party under this Agreement.

     1.4.  MP Promotion of Affiliated MP Site and AOL.  As set forth in fuller
           ------------------------------------------
           detail in Exhibit C, MP will promote AOL and the availability of the
                     ---------
           Affiliated MP Site through the AOL Network. MP will not implement or
           authorize any promotion that is substantially similar (including,
           without limitation, in scope, purpose, amount, prominence or
           regularity) to the promotion required or provided pursuant to Exhibit
                                                                         -------
           C for any other Interactive Service on terms more favorable than
           -
           those provided herein.


2.   AFFILIATED MP SITE.
     ------------------

     2.1.  Creation of Affiliated MP Site.    MP will create a customized start
           ------------------------------
           page to which the Promotions shall link (the "Co-Branded Entry Page")
           (to the extent consistent with the terms hereof), including distinct
           versions of the Co-Branded Entry Page for each applicable property of
           the AOL Network as set forth below (e.g., one for linking from the
           AOL Service which is co-branded with the AOL brand, one for linking
           from the CompuServe Service which is co-branded with the CompuServe
           brand, etc.). Such Co-Branded Entry Page shall serve as the start
           page for an Interactive Site of MP which conforms to the requirements
           set forth herein (the "Affiliated MP Site"). MP will use commercially
           reasonable efforts to include certain distinct Content within each
           such distinct version of the Co-Branded Entry Page, tailored and
           targeted to the applicable audience as mutually agreed (the "Brand
           Specific Content"). On the Co-Branded Entry Page, MP will comply with
           AOL's and its affiliates' then generally applicable customization
           standards and design guideline templates for each property with
           respect to headers, footers, co-branding and URLs, by way of example
           as set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto. The Parties agree that the
                           ---------
           Co-Branded Entry Page shall reside on a joint URL structured in a
           manner to provide MP with user and unique visitor credit. Internal
           pages within the Affiliated MP Site shall reside on a joint URL
           structured in a manner to provide AOL with credit for time spent on
           the Affiliated MP Site, which shall nonetheless be owned by MP. The
           Co-Branded Entry Page shall have AOL or AOL affiliate branded headers
           and footers. AOL shall have the right to change or modify its design
           guideline templates and co-branding requirements during the Terms, to
           conform to general changes made to the AOL Network or portions
           thereof. In the event that MP desires to add such tools to the
           Affiliated MP Site, MP will consider in good faith the integration
           of, and may with AOL's consent integrate, AOL's tools and technology
           for chat, message boards, Quick Checkout, Shopping Cart and Search,
           plus such other tools and technology as the Parties may further
           mutually agree, so long as the integration of such tools and
           technology is technically feasible and commercially reasonable and
           does not adversely affect the shopping experience. If the Parties
           cannot agree on any of these matters, either Party may invoke the
           dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 7.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     2.2.  Content.  MP will make available through the Affiliated MP Site the
           -------
           comprehensive offering of Products and related Content described on
           Exhibit D (the "MP Products"). Except as mutually agreed in writing
           ---------
           by the Parties, the Affiliated MP Site will contain the MP Products
           and will not contain more than [***]% of products and services other
           than everyday grocery products and services. All sales of Products
           through the Affiliated MP Site will be conducted through a direct
           sales format; MP will not promote, sell, offer or otherwise
           distribute any products through any format other than a direct sales
           format (e.g., through auctions or clubs) without the prior written
           consent of AOL; provided, however, that MP may use a third-party for
           back-end fulfillment. MP will review, delete, edit, create, update
           and otherwise manage all Content available on or through the
           Affiliated MP Site in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. MP
           will ensure that the Affiliated MP Site does not in any respect
           promote or advertise, market or distribute the products, services or
           content of (x) any other Interactive Service, or (y) solely with
           respect to the Co-Branded Entry Page, any entity that is in direct
           competition with any third party with which AOL has an exclusive or
           premier relationship (provided that AOL has given written notice to
           MP of such third party and the exclusive or premier relationship that
           AOL has with such third party). MP may offer any material
           functionality (e.g. instant messaging, calendar, decision guides) on
           its Affiliated MP Site, even if such functionality is reasonably
           deemed to be competitive with a material functionality offered by or
           on behalf of AOL on the AOL Network, so long as in connection
           therewith there is no attribution or link to an Interactive Service,
           provided further that MP shall offer no functionality which requires
           a user to register with another Interactive Service. If the parties
           cannot agree on any matter described in this subsection, either party
           may invoke the dispute resolution procedures of Section 7.

     2.3.  Production Work.  Except as agreed to in writing by the Parties
           ---------------
           pursuant to the "Production Work" section of the Standard Online
           Commerce Terms & Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit F, MP will be
                                                          ---------
           responsible for all production work associated with the Affiliated MP
           Site, including all of MP's related costs and expenses.

     2.4.  Technology. AOL will be entitled to require reasonable changes to the
           ----------
           Content (including, without limitation, the features or
           functionality) within the Affiliated MP Site to the extent such
           Content will, in AOL's good faith judgment, adversely affect any
           technological operational aspect of the AOL Network. AOL reserves the
           right to review and test the Affiliated MP Site from time to time to
           determine whether the site is compatible with AOL's then-available
           client and host software and the AOL Network.

     2.5.  Product Offering.  MP will use commercially reasonable efforts to
           ----------------
           ensure that the Affiliated MP Site includes generally all of the
           Products and other Content (including, without limitation, any
           features, offers, contests, functionality or technology) that are
           then made available by or on behalf of MP through the MP Interactive
           Site for the same geographical area; provided, however, that such
           inclusion will not be required where it is commercially or
           technically impractical (e.g., inclusion would cause either Party to
           incur substantial incremental costs), and not more that [***] percent
           ([***]%) of the Products shall be other than everyday grocery items.

     2.6.  Pricing and Terms.  MP will ensure that: (i) the prices (and any
           -----------------
           other required consideration) for Products in the Affiliated MP Site
           do not exceed the prices for the Products or substantially similar
           Products offered by or on behalf of MP through the MP Interactive
           Site for the same geographical area during the same time period; and
           (ii) the terms and conditions related to Products in the Affiliated
           MP Site are no less favorable in any respect to the terms and
           conditions for the Products or substantially similar Products offered
           by or on behalf of MP through the primary MP Interactive Site for the
           same geographical area during the same time period; and (iii) the
           prices in the aggregate for

                                       4
<PAGE>

           MP's top [***] grocery Products shall be no higher than [***] percent
           ([***]%) above of the prices of such Products offered by any MP
           Competitor through any Interactive Site for sale in the same
           geographic area during the same time period.

     2.7.  Exclusive AOL Offers/Member Benefits.  MP will generally promote
           ------------------------------------
           through the Affiliated MP Site any special or promotional offers made
           available by or on behalf of MP through any Additional MP Channel. In
           addition, MP shall promote through the Affiliated MP Site on a
           regular and consistent basis special offers (which, from time to
           time, shall be exclusive to AOL Users) available to AOL Users (the
           "AOL Offers") equal to or better than any other special offer
           available to non-AOL users. MP shall, at all times, feature at least
           one AOL Offer for at least first time AOL Users. The AOL Offer made
           available by MP shall provide a substantial member benefit to AOL
           Users, either by virtue of a meaningful price discount, product
           enhancement, unique service benefit or other special feature.
           Specific AOL Offers that may be made available by MP include the AOL
           Offers listed on Exhibit D-1 attached hereto. MP will provide AOL
                            -----------
           with reasonable prior notice of AOL Offers so that AOL can market the
           availability of such AOL Offers in the manner AOL deems appropriate
           in its editorial discretion.

     2.8.  Operating Standards.  MP will ensure that the Affiliated MP Site
           -------------------
           complies in all material respects and at all times with the standards
           set forth in Exhibit E within a commercially reasonable amount of
                        ---------
           time. To the extent operating site standards are not established in
           Exhibit E with respect to any aspect or portion of the Affiliated MP
           ---------
           Site (or the Products or other Content contained therein), MP will
           provide such aspect or portion of operating standards which meets or
           exceeds prevailing standards in the online grocery industry. In the
           event AOL determines that MP has failed to comply with the material
           technical requirements of this Section 2.8 AOL will have the right
           (in addition to any other remedies available to AOL hereunder), after
           providing MP with advance notice, to decrease the promotion it
           provides to MP hereunder until such time as MP corrects its non-
           compliance (and in such event, if such failure to comply shall last
           for more than five (5) days, AOL will be relieved of the
           proportionate amount of any promotional commitment made to MP by AOL
           hereunder corresponding to such decrease in promotion) and any
           revenue threshold(s) set forth in Section 4 will each be adjusted
           proportionately to correspond to such decrease in promotion during
           the period of non-compliance. MP may invoke the dispute resolution
           procedures of Section 7 in the event that it reasonably believes that
           the Affiliated MP Site meets the applicable standards, AOL has acted
           unjustly, or AOL has adversely affected MP's rights hereunder. AOL
           shall not be permitted to decrease the promotion for MP's failure to
           comply with the requirements of Section 1 of Exhibit E, if MP has
           invoked the dispute resolution procedures of Section 7.

     2.9.  Advertising Sales. In the event that MP decides to designate
           -----------------
           advertising inventory on the Affiliated MP Site, MP will offer AOL
           the opportunity to present its proposal for selling such inventory.

     2.10. Traffic Flow.  MP will take commercially reasonable efforts to
           ------------
           ensure that AOL traffic is either kept within the Affiliated MP Site
           or is channeled back into the AOL Network (with the exception of
           advertising links sold and implemented pursuant to the Agreement)
           through a "return to AOL" button at checkout, the "back" button on an
           Internet browser, and/or the AOL control bar. In the event that AOL
           points to the Co-Branded Entry Page or any other MP Interactive Site
           or otherwise delivers traffic to such site hereunder, MP will channel
           back to the AOL Network from such site, whether through a particular
           pointer or link, the "back" button on an Internet browser, the
           closing of an active window, or any other return mechanism.

3.   AOL EXCLUSIVITY OBLIGATIONS  During the Term, except as otherwise provided
     ---------------------------
     herein, AOL shall not promote any MP Competitor or the Exclusive Product in
     the Designated Exclusivity Areas. For the purposes of this Agreement,
     "Exclusive Product" shall mean the service of online ordering from an
     Online Grocer, for delivery (directly or through a third-party) or pick-up,
     of everyday grocery items assembled for the customer. For purposes of this
     Agreement, the term "Online Grocer" shall mean any entity that offers the
     online ordering of and whose primary business is the sale or delivery of, a
     comprehensive range of everyday grocery items, regardless of whether such
     entity offers such grocery items solely online or as ancillary to its
     traditional bricks-and-mortar grocery or convenience food store business;
     provided however, that in no event shall "Online Grocer" include any entity
     (i) with a [***], provided that this exception shall not except a [***]
     business or an [***] from the definition of "Online Grocer", (ii) who
     offers only a [***], or (iii) that provides predominantly a [***]. As part
     of the exclusivity, AOL shall not itself or through any agent use any part

     Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3 (and
     without limiting any actions which may be taken by AOL without violation of
     MP's rights hereunder), no provision of this Agreement will limit AOL's
     ability (on or off the AOL Network) to (i) undertake activities or perform
     duties pursuant to existing arrangements with third parties, provided,
     however, that the Impressions delivered pursuant to any such arrangement
     with any MP Competitor or as part of the marketing of the Exclusive Product
     by any other Online Grocer shall reduce the number of Impressions permitted
     under Section 3.2.1 below (or pursuant to any agreements to which AOL
     becomes a party subsequent to the Effective Date as a result of Change of
     Control, merger, acquisition or other similar transaction), (ii) create
     editorial content relating to any third party marketer of the Exclusive
     Product (but shall not sell contextual links to any marketer of the
     Exclusive Product except in accordance with this Agreement) or (iii) offer
     information relating to marketers of the Exclusive Product on any yellow
     pages, white pages, classifieds or other search, directory or review
     services or Content or similar service. In addition, to the extent that any
     third party does not solely [***], AOL will not be restricted from
     promoting such party (on or off the AOL Network), so long as such
     promotions do not, [***], expressly [***] or allow a [***]. Notwithstanding
     any provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

     3.1.  The delivery services for the following types of products shall not
           be deemed to be "Exclusive Product" except when sold, delivered,
           offered or promoted by MP Competitors: (i) delivery of [***]; (ii)
           delivery services where the [***] is not the [***]; (iii) delivery
           services where the [***] is not the delivery of the [***]; (iv)
           delivery of [***]; or (v) delivery of [***]; and

     3.2.  AOL may sell promotions mentioning the Exclusive Product of any
           traditional bricks-and-mortar grocer or convenience food store
           ("Traditional Grocer Exclusive Product Promotions") so long as such
           Traditional Grocer Exclusive Product Promotions do not promote any MP
           Competitor and provided that:

           3.2.1.  Traditional Grocer Exclusive Product Promotions shall
                   constitute no more than [***] Impressions in the aggregate
                   during the Term; and (a) in the national market, in any year
                   total Traditional Grocer Exclusive Product Promotions shall
                   not exceed the "Permitted National Market Carve-out Amount";
                   for these purposes, the "Permitted National Market Carve-out
                   Amount" shall equal [***] percent ([***]%) of the Impressions
                   Commitment in the national market for that year; and (b) in
                   any local markets where MP provides the Exclusive Product,
                   Traditional Grocer Exclusive Product Promotions shall not
                   exceed in any year the "Permitted Local Market Carve-out
                   Amount"; for these purposes, the "Permitted Local Market
                   Carve-out Amount" shall equal [***] percent ([***]%) of the
                   Impressions Commitment in that local market for that year;
                   and

           3.2.2.  AOL agrees to [***], in consideration of its [***] permitted
                   under this Section 3.2.

                            under this Agreement in accordance with this Section

                            of receipt of such Fifteen Month Notice, discontinue

                            delivered under this Agreement (the "Second
                            Exclusivity Termination Date"), to terminate its
                            exclusivity obligations set forth in Section 3 of
                            this Agreement by providing MP with written notice

                            in accordance with this Section 4.1.2.3, and MP does
                            not exercise its right to terminate the Agreement as
                            set forth below, then all payments due by MP
                            pursuant to Section 4.1.1 on or after March 1, 2003,
                            shall be reduced to [***], if AOL has not exercised

                            AOL terminates its exclusivity obligations in
                            accordance with this Section 4.1.2.3, MP shall have
                            the right to terminate the Agreement, and, upon MP's

                            (x) AOL shall refund and pay to MP, within 30 days
                            of MP's notice of termination, a refund calculated
                            in accordance with the Pro-Rata Refund Formula; and
                            (y) MP shall have no obligation to make any of the

           accurate records of all expenses, revenues and fees in connection
           with the performance of this Agreement. For the sole purpose of

           representative) will have the right on an annual basis to have a
           third-party accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Party being
           audited (the "Audit Party") conduct a reasonable and necessary
           inspection limited to the portions of the books and records of the
           Audit Party which are relevant to such Audit Party's performance
           pursuant to this Agreement. Any such audit may be conducted after
           twenty (20) business days' prior written notice to the other Party.
           The Party requesting the audit (the "Requesting Party") shall bear
           the expense of any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 4.4,

           hereunder, in which event the Audit Party shall bear the reasonable
           expenses of the audit. If any payment deficiency is discovered,
           during an audit or otherwise, the Party owing the deficient payment
           shall pay the deficient amount to the Party owed such amount within
           thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof.

     4.5.  Taxes.  MP will collect and pay and indemnify, and hold AOL harmless
           -----
           from, any sales, use, excise, import or export value added or similar
           tax or duty including any penalties and interest, as well as any
           costs associated with the collection or withholding thereof,
           including attorneys' fees, which arises out of the sale or any other
           transaction between MP and any other party (other than AOL) or which
           is based on MP's net income. Likewise, AOL will collect and pay and
           indemnify, and hold MP harmless from, any sales, use, excise, import
           or export value added or similar tax or duty including any penalties
           and interest, as well as any costs associated with the collection or
           withholding thereof, including attorneys' fees, which arises out of
           the sale or any other transaction between AOL and any other party
           (other than MP) or which is based on AOL's net income.

     4.6.  Reports.
           -------

           4.6.1.  Sales Reports.  MP will provide AOL in an automated manner
                   -------------
                   with a monthly report in an AOL-designated format, detailing
                   the following activity in such period (and any other
                   information mutually agreed upon by the Parties or reasonably
                   required for measuring activity at the Co-Branded Entry
                   Page): summary sales information by day (date and total
                   number of AOL Purchasers for such day, total new AOL
                   Purchasers by day and total revenue for such
                   day)(collectively, the "Sales Reports"). AOL will be entitled
                   to use the Sales Reports in its own internal business
                   operations, subject to the terms of this Agreement, but
                   agrees to protect such information as Confidential
                   Information.

           4.6.2.  Usage Reports.  At least once a month, AOL shall provide MP
                   -------------
                   with standard usage information related to the Promotions
                   (e.g. a schedule of the Impressions delivered by AOL at such
                   time) which is similar in substance and form to the reports
                   provided by AOL to other interactive marketing partners
                   similar to MP. MP acknowledges that such information may be
                   Confidential Information as defined herein.

           4.6.3.  Fraudulent Transactions.  To the extent permitted by
                   -----------------------
                   applicable laws, MP will provide AOL with an prompt report of
                   any fraudulent order, including the date, screenname or email
                   address and amount associated with such order, promptly
                   following MP obtaining knowledge that the order is, in fact,
                   fraudulent.

6.   TERM; AFTER EXPIRATION OF TERM; TERMINATION.
     -------------------------------------------

     6.1.  Term.  Unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, the term of
           -----
           this Agreement will be five years from the Effective Date (the
           "Term").

     6.2.  After Expiration of Term.  Upon the expiration of Term (as opposed to
           ------------------------
           termination), AOL has the right to continue the link to the
           Affiliated MP Site for an additional one-year period upon written
           notice to MP, with the right to renew for two (2) additional one-year
           terms upon written notice to MP. MP shall pay AOL a [***] ($[***])
           dollar bounty for new AOL Purchasers generated during any such
           extended period and shall have no other payments obligations
           hereunder to AOL. MP will pay all of the foregoing amounts on a
           quarterly basis within thirty (30) days following the end of the
           quarter in which the applicable bounties were generated.

     6.3.  [intentionally deleted].
            ---------------------

     6.4.  Termination for Breach.  Except as expressly provided elsewhere in
           ----------------------
           this Agreement, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time
           in the event of a material breach of the Agreement by the other Party
           which remains uncured after thirty (30) days written notice thereof
           to the other Party (or such shorter period as may be specified
           elsewhere in this Agreement); provided that if MP fails to make any
           payment required under Section 4.1.1, AOL will provide notice to MP
           of MP's failure and the cure period with respect to any scheduled
           payment will be twelve (12) days from the date of such notice. In the
           event this Agreement is terminated, any payment obligations accrued
           prior to termination will survive the termination of this Agreement,
           and, except to the extent expressly set forth to the contrary in this
           Agreement, the parties shall be relieved of all other payment
           obligations, provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect any
           Party's right to damages as a result of the other Party's breach. If
           this Agreement is terminated by MP under this provision, MP shall be
           entitled to a refund calculated in accordance with the Pro-Rata
           Refund Formula.

     6.5.  Termination for Bankruptcy/Insolvency.  Subject to existing
           -------------------------------------
           bankruptcy laws, either Party may terminate this Agreement
           immediately following written notice to the other Party if the other
           Party (i) ceases to do business in the normal course, (ii) becomes or
           is declared insolvent or bankrupt, (iii) is the subject of any
           proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether
           voluntary or involuntary) which is not dismissed within ninety (90)
           calendar days or (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of
           creditors.

     6.6.  Termination on Change of Control.
           --------------------------------

           6.6.1.  In the event of a Change of Control of MP resulting in
                   control of MP by an Interactive Service, AOL may terminate
                   this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior written
                   notice of such intent to terminate.

           6.6.2.  In the event of a Change of Control of AOL resulting in
                   control of AOL by an MP Competitor, MP may terminate this
                   Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice
                   of such intent to terminate.

     6.7.  Press Releases.  Each Party will submit to the other Party, for its
           ---------------
           prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld or
           delayed, any press release or any other public statement ("Press
           Release") regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, if and to the extent
           required by law, issue Press Releases and other disclosures without
           the consent of the other Party so

"[***] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]"

                                       10
<PAGE>

           long as the disclosing Party provides at least five (5) business days
           prior written notice of such disclosure. The failure by one Party to
           obtain the prior written approval of the other Party prior to issuing
           a Press Release (except as and to the extent required by law) shall
           be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Because it would be
           difficult to precisely ascertain the extent of the injury caused to
           the non-breaching party, in the event of such material breach, the
           non-breach party may elect as its sole remedy to either (a) terminate
           this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other Party, or (b) as
           liquidated damages, elect to modify the Impression Commitment
           hereunder by [***] percent ([***]%) (either an increase in
           Impressions if AOL has materially breached the Agreement or a
           decrease in Impressions if MP has materially breached the Agreement).
           The Parties agree that the liquidated damages set forth are a
           reasonable approximation of the injury that would be suffered by the
           non-breaching Party.

7.   MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE/ARBITRATION.
     --------------------------------

     7.1.  Management Committee.  The Parties will act in good faith and use
           --------------------
           commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any claim,
           dispute, claim, controversy or disagreement (each a "Dispute")
           between the Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries,
           affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement
           or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the
           transactions contemplated hereby. If the Parties cannot promptly
           resolve any such Dispute, either party may submit the dispute to the
           "Management Committee" for resolution. The Management Committee shall
           initially consist of MP's Senior Vice President of Marketing, Jon
           Landers, and AOL's President of Marketing, David M. Colburn. At the
           parties' earliest convenience and by not later than 10 days after the
           request for dispute resolution, the Management Committee shall
           convene at a mutually acceptable location or telephonically, and
           shall have the exclusive right for the following ten (10) days to
           resolve such Dispute; provided further that the Management Committee
           will have the final and exclusive right to resolve Disputes arising
           from any provision of the Agreement which expressly or implicitly
           provides for the Parties to reach mutual agreement as to certain
           terms. If the Management Committee is unable to amicably resolve the
           Dispute during such ten-day period, then the Management Committee
           will consider in good faith the possibility of retaining a third
           party mediator to facilitate resolution of the Dispute. In the event
           the Management Committee elects not to retain a mediator within the
           five (5) days immediately following the dead-lock, the dispute will
           be subject to the resolution mechanisms described below. Neither
           Party will seek, nor will be entitled to seek, binding outside
           resolution of the Dispute unless and until the Parties have sought
           resolution of the Dispute by the Management Committee and have been
           unable amicably to resolve the Dispute as set forth in this Section 7
           and then, only in compliance with the procedures set forth in this
           Section 7.

     7.2.  Arbitration.  Except for Disputes relating to issues of (i)
           ------------
           proprietary rights, including but not limited to intellectual
           property and confidentiality, and (ii) any provision of the Agreement
           which expressly or implicitly provides for the Parties to reach
           mutual agreement as to certain terms (which will be resolved by the
           Parties solely and exclusively through amicable resolution as set
           forth in Section 7.1), any Dispute not resolved by amicable
           resolution as set forth in Section 7.1 will be governed exclusively
           and finally by arbitration. Such arbitration will be conducted by the
           American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Washington, D.C., or
           Seattle, Washington, and will be initiated and conducted in
           accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules ("Commercial Rules")
           of the AAA, including the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Large
           Complex Commercial Disputes ("Complex Procedures"), as such rules
           will be in effect on the date of delivery of a demand for arbitration
           ("Demand"), except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent
           with the provisions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
           the Parties may agree

"[***] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. OMITTED PORTIONS FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]"

                                       11
<PAGE>

           in good faith that the Complex Procedures will not apply in order to
           promote the efficient arbitration of Disputes where the nature of the
           Dispute, including without limitation the amount in controversy, does
           not justify the application of such procedures.

     7.3.  Selection of Arbitrators.  The arbitration panel will consist of
           -------------------------
           three arbitrators. Each Party will name an arbitrator within ten (10)
           days after the delivery of the Demand. The two arbitrators named by
           the Parties may have prior relationships with the naming Party, which
           in a judicial setting would be considered a conflict of interest. The
           third arbitrator, selected by the first two, should be a neutral
           participant, with no prior working relationship with either Party. If
           the two arbitrators are unable to select a third arbitrator within
           ten (10) days, a third neutral arbitrator will be appointed by the
           AAA from the panel of commercial arbitrators of any of the AAA Large
           and Complex Resolution Programs. If a vacancy in the arbitration
           panel occurs after the hearings have commenced, the remaining
           arbitrator or arbitrators may not continue with the hearing and
           determination of the controversy, unless the Parties agree otherwise.

     7.4.  Governing Law.  The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Secs. 1-16, and
           --------------
           not state law, will govern the arbitrability of all Disputes. The
           arbitrators will allow such discovery as is appropriate to the
           purposes of arbitration in accomplishing a fair, speedy and cost-
           effective resolution of the Disputes. The arbitrators will reference
           the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect in setting the
           scope and timing of discovery. The Federal Rules of Evidence will
           apply in toto. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against
           any Party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings.

     7.5.  Arbitration Awards.  The arbitrators will have the authority to award
           -------------------
           compensatory damages only. Any award by the arbitrators will be
           accompanied by a written opinion setting forth the findings of fact
           and conclusions of law relied upon in reaching the decision. The
           award rendered by the arbitrators will be final, binding and non-
           appealable, and judgment upon such award may be entered by any court
           of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the existence,
           conduct and content of any arbitration will be kept confidential and
           no Party will disclose to any person any information about such
           arbitration, except as may be required by law or by any governmental
           authority or for financial reporting purposes in each Party's
           financial statements.

     7.6.  Fees.  Each Party will pay the fees of its own attorneys, expenses of
           -----
           witnesses and all other expenses and costs in connection with the
           presentation of such Party's case (collectively, "Attorneys' Fees").
           The remaining costs of the arbitration, including without limitation,
           fees of the arbitrators, costs of records or transcripts and
           administrative fees (collectively, "Arbitration Costs") will be borne
           equally by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
           arbitrators may modify the allocation of Arbitration Costs and award
           Attorneys' Fees in those cases where fairness dictates a different
           allocation of Arbitration Costs between the Parties and an award of
           Attorneys' Fees to the prevailing Party as determined by the
           arbitrators.

     7.7.  Non Arbitratable Disputes.  Any Dispute that is not subject to final
           --------------------------
           resolution by the Management Committee or to arbitration under this
           Section 7 or by law (collectively, "Non-Arbitration Claims") will be
           brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of
           Virginia or the State of Washington. Each Party irrevocably consents
           to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth
           of Virginia and the federal courts situated in the Commonwealth of
           Virginia, and of the courts of the State of Washington and the
           federal courts situated in the State of Washington, over any and all
           Non-Arbitration Claims and any and all actions to enforce such claims
           or to recover damages or other relief in connection with such claims.

                                       12

8.   NEW DELIVERY PLATFORMS; FURTHER DISCUSSIONS.  In the event that AOL
     -------------------------------------------
     launches any new delivery platform other than standard narrow-band
     platform, and at any time thereafter [***] percent ([***]%) or more of the
     AOL Users uses the new delivery platform, then MP shall have the
     opportunity to negotiate for promotions on the new delivery platform.

9.   FURTHER ASSURANCES REGARDING LOCAL OFFERINGS.  If MP has not established
     --------------------------------------------
     local based offerings of the Exclusive Product in a local market, and AOL
     has identified a substantial AOL User demand for the Exclusive Product in
     such market, then the Parties shall work together in good faith to develop
     a plan to satisfy the needs of such AOL Users, which plan may include MP's
     partnering with a local marketer of the Exclusive Product or the
     establishment of a revenue sharing relationship.

10.  NATIONAL OFFERING OF THE EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT.  MP shall use commercially
     ------------------------------------------
     reasonable efforts to offer the Exclusive Product on a national basis
     within twelve (12) months from the Effective Date.  In the event that MP is
     unable to accomplish this objective, AOL may refer such matter to the
     Management Committee in accordance with Section 7, in order to agree upon a
     strategy to provide the Exclusive Product to AOL Users on a national basis.

11.  STANDARD TERMS.  The exhibits and schedules identified in and attached to
     --------------
     this Agreement (including without limitation the Standard Online Commerce
     Terms & Conditions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto and Standard
                                     -------

                                           ---------
     incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part of this

     set forth above in body of this Agreement (the "Substantive Agreement") and
     the exhibits and schedules incorporated into this Agreement, the

                              ------------------

1.   MP shall provide the following (collectively, the "AOL Promos"): (i) on the
     Co-Branded Entry Page, a prominent promotional banner or button (at least
     90 x 30 pixels in size) appearing "above the fold" on the Co-Branded Entry
     Page, to promote such AOL products or services as AOL may designate (for
     example, the America Online(R) brand service, the CompuServe(R) brand
     service, the AOL.com(R) site, any of the Digital City services or the AOL
     Instant Messenger(TM) service); and (ii) on the home page of the primary MP
     Interactive Site, a prominent "Try AOL" button (at least 90 x 30 pixels in
     size) through which users can obtain promotional information about AOL
     products or services designated by AOL; and (iii) at AOL's option, MP will
     provide a link on the Co-Branded Entry Page that allows AOL users to order
     the then-current version of client software for such AOL products or
     services. AOL will provide the creative content to be used in the AOL
     Promos (including designation of links from such content to other content
     pages), no more frequently than once per calendar quarter. MP shall post
     (or update, as the case may be) the creative content supplied by AOL within
     the spaces for the AOL Promos within ten (10) days of its receipt of such
     content from AOL. Without limiting any other reporting obligations of the
     Parties contained herein, MP shall provide AOL with monthly written reports
     specifying the number of impressions to the pages containing the AOL Promos
     during the prior month. In the event that AOL elects to serve the AOL
     Promos from an ad server controlled by AOL or its agent, MP shall take all
     reasonable operational steps necessary to facilitate such ad serving
     arrangement including, without limitation, inserting HTML code designated
     by AOL on the pages on which the AOL Promos will appear. MP shall be
     permitted to participate in AOL's generally applicable affiliate program.
     For the AOL Promos, AOL will take commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
     that, if technically feasible, MP traffic is channeled back to MP and the
     MP Interactive Site containing such AOL Promo.

2.   In addition, within each MP Interactive Site, MP shall provide prominent
     promotion for the keywords granted to MP hereunder. Other than for
     instances in which physical execution would be commercially impractical
     (i.e., in the case of radio or television, an advertisement of fifteen
     seconds or less, and, in the case of print advertisement, an advertisement
     less than one quarter page) or in which MP is not the party paying for such
     advertisements, in MP's television, radio, print and "out of home" (e.g.,
     buses and billboards) advertisements (excluding all delivery vehicles,
     provided that no Interactive Service shall be promoted on such delivery
     vehicles) and in any publications, programs, features or other forms of
     media over which MP exercises primary editorial control, MP will include
     specific references or mentions (verbally where possible) of the
     availability of the Affiliated MP Site through the AOL Network, which are
     at least as prominent as any references that MP makes to the URL (e.g.,
     "www.") or other navigation (but not including general branding of MP's
     tradename) for any MP Interactive Site. Without limiting the generality of
     the foregoing, MP's listing of the "URL" (e.g., "www.") for any MP
     Interactive Site will be accompanied by an equally prominent listing of the
     "keyword" term on AOL for the Affiliated MP Site.

3.   At AOL's option, MP shall no more than once per quarter distribute CD-Roms
     containing the software necessary to operate the AOL Service through MP's
     grocery delivery business and shall pay MP [***] ($[***]) per CD-Rom
     distributed. In addition, MP may request that AOL provide CD-Roms for
     delivery to MP customers and potential customers. In the event AOL grants
     MP's request, AOL shall provide MP with all such CD-Roms free of charge.
     AOL shall pay MP a bounty of [***] dollars ($[***]) for each Qualified New
     Member obtained through such distribution. "Qualified New Member" shall
     mean any person over the age of 18 in the U.S. who newly registers (i.e.,
     is not a current member and was not a member for the 2 months immediately
     preceding such registration) for the AOL Service during the Term using
     MP 's special promotion identifier and who pays the then-standard fees
     required for membership to the AOL Service and remains a fully paid member
     in good standing through at least one (1) billing cycle (60 days total,
     including one free month and one paid month). AOL shall deliver

of the Agreement.

business and technical representatives, for use in cases when issues or problems
arise with respect to the Affiliated MP Site.

7.   Telecommunications. Where applicable MP will utilize encryption methodology
     ------------------
to secure data communications between the Parties' data centers. The network
between the Parties will be configured such that no single component failure
will significantly impact AOL Users.

8.   Security.  MP will utilize Internet standard encryption technologies (e.g.,

Secure Socket Layer - SSL) to provide a secure environment for conducting
transactions and/or transferring private member information (e.g. credit card

from the Affiliated MP Site. MP will facilitate periodic reviews of the
Affiliated MP Site with AOL in order to evaluate the security risks of such
site. MP will promptly remedy any security risks or breaches of security as may

     ii.       To the extent MP creates customized pages on the Affiliated MP
          Site for AOL Members, MP will develop and employ a methodology to
          detect AOL Members (e.g. examine the HTTP User-Agent field in order to
          identify the "AOL Member-Agents" listed at: "http://webmaster.
          info.aol.com)."

     iii.      MP will periodically review the technical information made
          available by AOL at http://webmaster.info.aol.com.

     iv.       MP will design its site to support HTTP 1.0 or later protocol as
          defined in RFC 1945 and to adhere to AOL's parameters for refreshing
          or preventing the caching of information in AOL's proxy system as
          outlined in the document provided at the following URL:
          http://webmaster.info.aol.com. MP is responsible for the manipulation
          of these parameters in web-based objects so as to allow them to be
          cached or not cached as outlined in RFC 1945.

     v.        Prior to releasing material, new functionality or features
          through the Affiliated MP Site ("New Functionality"), MP will use
          commercially reasonable efforts to (i) test the New Functionality to
          confirm its compatibility with AOL Service client software and (ii)
          provide AOL with written notice of the New Functionality so that AOL
          can perform tests of the New Functionality to confirm its
          compatibility with the AOL Service client software. Should any

          new material, new functionality or features through the Affiliated MP
          Site be released without notification to AOL, AOL will not be
          responsible for any adverse member experience until such time that
          compatibility tests can be performed and the new material,
          functionality or features qualified for the AOL Service

case, be involved with content creation on behalf of MP or support for any
technologies, databases, software or other applications which are not supported
by AOL or are related to any MP area other than the Affiliated MP Site.

Content using MP's then-available technology. In the event that MP cannot,
through its commercially reasonable efforts, block access by AOL Users to the
Content in question, then MP will provide AOL prompt written notice of such
fact. AOL may then, at its option, restrict access from the AOL Network to the
Content in question using technology available to AOL. MP will cooperate with
AOL's reasonable requests to the extent AOL elects to implement any such access
restrictions.

3.   Contests. MP will take all steps necessary to ensure that any contest,

Affiliated MP Site, or any other MP Interactive Site determined by AOL in its
reasonable discretion.

AOL property through which the Affiliated MP Site will be promoted or any other
standard, written AOL policy; and (iii) will not violate any applicable law or
regulation, including those relating to contests, sweepstakes or similar
promotions. Additionally, MP represents and warrants that it owns or has a valid
license to all rights to any Licensed Content used in AOL "slideshow" or other
formats embodying elements such as graphics, animation and sound, free and clear
of all encumbrances and without violating the rights of any other person or
entity. MP also warrants that a reasonable basis exists for all Product
performance or comparison claims appearing through the Affiliated MP Site. MP
shall not in any manner, including, without limitation in any Promotion, the
Licensed Content or the Materials state or imply that AOL recommends or endorses
MP or MP's Products (e.g., no statements that MP is an "official" or "preferred"
provider of products or services for AOL). AOL will have no obligations with
respect to the Products available on or through the Affiliated MP Site,
including, but not limited to, any duty to review or monitor any such Products

all orders electronically and generally process all orders within one business
day of receipt, provided Products ordered are not advance order items. MP will
ensure that all orders of Products are received, processed, fulfilled and
delivered on a timely and professional basis. MP will offer AOL Users who
purchase Products through such Affiliated MP Site a money back satisfaction
guarantee. MP will bear all responsibility for compliance with federal, state
and local laws in the event that Products are out of stock or are no longer
available at the time an order is received. MP will also comply with the
requirements of any federal, state or local consumer protection or disclosure
law. Payment for Products will be collected by MP directly from customers.

10.  Production Work. In the event that MP requests AOL's production assistance
     ---------------
in connection with (i) ongoing programming and maintenance related to the
Affiliated MP Site, (ii) a redesign of or addition to the Affiliated MP Site
(e.g., a change to an existing screen format or construction of a new custom
form), (iii) production to modify work performed by a third party provider or
(iv) any other type of production work, MP will work with AOL to develop a
detailed production plan for the requested production assistance (the
"Production Plan"). Following receipt of the final Production Plan, AOL will
notify MP of (i) AOL's availability to perform the requested production work,
(ii) the proposed fee or fee structure for the requested production and
maintenance work and (iii) the estimated development schedule for such work. To
the extent the Parties reach agreement regarding implementation of the agreed-
upon Production Plan, such agreement will be reflected in a separate work order
signed by the Parties. To the extent MP elects to retain a third party provider
to perform any such production work, work produced by such third party provider
must generally conform to AOL's standards & practices (as provided on the
America Online brand service at Keyword term "styleguide"). The specific
production resources which AOL allocates to any production work to be performed
on behalf of MP will be as determined by AOL in its sole discretion. AOL shall
bear all AOL fees and expenses with respect to any routine production,
maintenance or related services which AOL reasonably determines are necessary
for AOL to perform in order to support the proper functioning and integration of
the Affiliated MP Site ("Routine Services").

11.  Overhead Accounts. To the extent AOL has granted MP any overhead accounts
     -----------------
on the AOL Service, MP will be responsible for the actions taken under or
through its overhead accounts, which actions are subject to AOL's applicable
Terms of Service and for any surcharges, including, without limitation, all
premium charges, transaction charges, and any applicable communication
surcharges incurred by any overhead Account issued to MP, but MP will not be
liable for charges incurred by any overhead account relating to AOL's standard
monthly usage fees and standard hourly charges, which charges AOL will bear.
Upon the termination of this Agreement, all overhead accounts, related screen
names and any associated usage credits or similar rights, will automatically
terminate. AOL will have no liability for loss of any data or content related to
the proper termination of any overhead account.

12.  Navigation Tools. Any Keyword Search Terms to be directed to the Affiliated
     ----------------
MP Site shall be (i) made available for use by MP and (ii) limited to the
combination of the Keyword search modifier combined with a registered trademark
of MP (e.g. "AOL keyword: XYZ Company Name"). AOL reserves the right to revoke
at any time MP's use of any Keyword Search Terms which do not incorporate
registered trademarks of MP. MP acknowledges that its utilization of a Keyword
Search Term will not create in it, nor will it represent it has, any right,
title or interest in or to such Keyword Search Term, other than the right, title
and interest MP holds in MP's registered trademark independent of the Keyword
Search Term. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MP will not: (a)
attempt to register or otherwise obtain trademark or copyright protection in the
Keyword Search Term; or (b) use the Keyword Search Term, except for the purposes
expressly required or permitted under this Agreement. To the extent AOL allows
AOL Users to "bookmark" the URL or other locator for the Affiliated MP Site,

good standing will be entitled to place on its affiliated Interactive Site an
AOL designed and approved button promoting the merchant's status as an AOL
Certified Merchant.

implement or otherwise make available any promotional programs or plans that are
intended to provide customers with rewards or benefits in exchange for, or on
account of, their past or continued loyalty to, or patronage or purchase of, the
products or services of MP or any third party (e.g., a promotional program
similar to a "frequent flier" program), unless such promotional program or plan
is provided to no greater degree than AOL's "AOL Rewards" program, accessible on
the AOL Service at Keyword: "AOL Rewards."

15.  Search Terms. To the extent this Agreement sets forth any mechanism by
     ------------
which the Affiliated MP Site or the MP Interactive Site that is accessed through

Site and/or referencing the other Party and/or its trade names, trademarks, and
service marks (the "Promotional Materials"); provided, however, that either
Party's use of screen shots of the Affiliated MP Site for promotional purposes
will not require the approval of the other Party so long as America Online(R) is
clearly identified as the source of such screen shots and so long as the URL of
the MP and/or the trademark of the MP is included; and provided further,
however, that, following the initial public announcement of the business
relationship between the Parties in accordance with the approval and other
requirements contained herein, either Party's subsequent factual reference to
the existence of a business relationship between the Parties in Promotional
Materials, will not require the approval of the other Party. Each Party will
solicit and reasonably consider the views of the other Party in designing and
implementing such Promotional Materials. Once approved, the Promotional
Materials may be used by a Party and its affiliates for the purpose of promoting
the Affiliated MP Site and the content contained therein and reused for such

service marks of MP for which MP holds all rights necessary for use in
connection with this Agreement (collectively, together with the AOL marks listed
above, the "Marks"); provided that each Party: (i) does not create a unitary
composite mark involving a Mark of the other Party without the prior written
approval of such other Party; and (ii) displays symbols and notices clearly and
sufficiently indicating the trademark status and ownership of the other Party's
Marks in accordance with applicable trademark law and practice.

4.   Ownership of Trademarks.  Each Party acknowledges the ownership right of
     -----------------------
the other Party in the Marks of the other Party and agrees that all use of the
other Party's Marks will inure to the benefit, and be on behalf, of the other
Party. Each Party acknowledges that its utilization of the other Party's Marks
will not create in it, nor will it represent it has, any right, title, or
interest in or to such Marks other than the licenses expressly granted herein.
Each Party agrees not to do anything contesting or impairing the trademark
rights of the other Party.

infringement proceedings.

     ------------------------------
other Party that: (i) such Party has the full corporate right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the acts required of it
hereunder; (ii) the execution of this Agreement by such Party, and the
performance by such Party of its obligations and duties hereunder, do not and
will not violate any agreement to which such Party is a party or by which it is
otherwise bound; (iii) when executed and delivered by such Party, this Agreement

for in this Agreement. MP hereby represents and warrants that it possesses all
authorizations, approvals, consents, licenses, permits, certificates or other
rights and permissions necessary to sell the Products.

     ---------------
be disclosed to the other Party during the course of this Agreement. Each Party
agrees that it will take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to
the steps it takes to protect its

regulations and (ii) submit a request to such governing body that such portions

NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE AOL NETWORK,
THE AOL SERVICE, AOL.COM, THE CO-BRANDED ENTRY PAGE OR THE AFFILIATED MP SITE OR

     ---------
other Party and the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, distributors,
franchisees and employees of the other Party from any and all third party
claims, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees ("Liabilities"), resulting from the indemnifying Party's material breach of
any duty, representation, or warranty of this Agreement.

9.4  Claims. If a Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified
     ------
Party") becomes aware of any matter it believes is indemnifiable hereunder
involving any claim, action, suit, investigation, arbitration or other
proceeding against the Indemnified Party by any third party (each an "Action"),
the Indemnified Party will give the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party")
prompt written notice of such Action. Such notice will (i) provide the basis on
which indemnification is being asserted and (ii) be accompanied by copies of all
relevant pleadings, demands, and other papers related to the Action and in the
possession of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have a period
of ten (10) days after delivery of such notice to respond. If the Indemnifying
Party elects to defend the Action or does not respond within the requisite ten
(10) day period, the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to defend the Action,

<PAGE>

prior written consent of both Parties hereunder, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10.  Acknowledgment.  AOL and MP each acknowledges that the provisions of this
     --------------
Agreement were negotiated to reflect an informed, voluntary allocation between
them of all risks (both known and unknown) associated with the transactions
contemplated hereunder. The limitations and disclaimers related to warranties
and liability contained in this Agreement are intended to limit the
circumstances and extent of liability. The provisions of this Section 10 will be
enforceable independent of and severable from any other enforceable or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement.

11.  Solicitation of AOL Users. During the term of the Agreement and for a two
     -------------------------
year period thereafter, MP will not use the AOL Network (including, without
limitation, the e-mail network contained therein) to solicit AOL Users on behalf
of another Interactive Service. More generally, MP will not send unsolicited,
commercial e-mail (i.e., "spam") or other online communications through or into
AOL's products or services, absent a Prior Business Relationship. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Prior Business Relationship" will mean that the AOL User
to whom commercial e-mail or other online communication is being sent has
voluntarily either (i) engaged in a transaction with MP or (ii) provided
information to MP through a contest, registration, or other communication, which
included clear notice to the AOL User that the information provided could result
in commercial e-mail or other online communication being sent to that AOL User
by MP or its agents. Any commercial e-mail or other online communications to AOL
Users which are otherwise permitted hereunder, will (a) include a prominent and
easy means to "opt-out" of receiving any future commercial communications from
MP, and (b) shall also be subject to AOL's then-standard restrictions on
distribution of bulk e-mail (e.g., related to the time and manner in which such
e-mail can be distributed through or into the AOL product or service in
question).

12.  AOL User Communications.  To the extent that MP is permitted to communicate
     --------------------------
with AOL Users under Section 11 of this Exhibit G, in any communications to AOL
Users on or off the Affiliated MP Site (including, without limitation, e-mail
solicitations) that are the type of communications described in Section 11 (the
"AOL User communications"), MP will not encourage AOL Users to take any action
inconsistent with the scope and purpose of this Agreement, including without
limitation, the following actions: (i) using an entry page other than the
Affiliated MP Site for the purchase of Products, (ii) using Content other than
the Licensed Content; (iii) bookmarking of Interactive Sites; or (iv) changing
the default home page on the AOL browser. Additionally, with respect to such AOL
User communications, in the event that MP encourages an AOL User to purchase
products through such communications, MP shall ensure that (a) the AOL Network
is promoted as the primary means through which the AOL User can access the
Affiliated MP Site and (b) any link to the Affiliated MP Site will link to a
page which indicates to the AOL User that such user is in a site which is
affiliated with the AOL Network.

13.  Collection and Use of User Information.  Each party shall ensure that its
     --------------------------------------
collection, use and disclosure of information obtained from AOL Users under this
Agreement ("User Information") complies with (i) all applicable laws and
regulations and (ii) AOL's standard privacy policies, available on the AOL
Service at the keyword term "Privacy" (or, in the case of the Affiliated MP
Site, MP's standard privacy policies so long as such policies are prominently
published on the site and provide adequate notice, disclosure and choice to
users regarding MP's collection, use and disclosure of user information). MP
will not (a) disclose User Information collected hereunder (i) to any third
party in a manner that identifies AOL Users as end users of an AOL product or

limited to, the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of documents) as may
reasonably be requested by any other Party for the implementation or continuing
performance of this Agreement.

reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in
accordance with applicable law, and (ii) the remaining terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect.

     --------
granted to a Party under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to, and
