     (e) Non-Exclusivity; No Minimums. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that nothing contained in this
Agreement or the Statement of Work shall be construed as creating an exclusive
relationship between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either

3.   COMPANY COMPENSATION.

     (a) Service Rates. Expedia agrees to pay Company for the performance of
Services in accordance with the fee schedule attached as Exhibit B or as
specifically stated in the Statement of Work ("Service Fees"). In the event of a

provided by Company, any applicable fixed Service Fee shall be reduced by a
corresponding amount.

     (b) Invoices/Manner of Payment. Company will provide Expedia with a monthly
summary invoice stating all amounts due from Expedia to Company under this
Agreement. Such monthly invoice shall include the monthly total and shall be
submitted by Company to Expedia, Inc., Accounts payable, 13810 SE Eastgate Way,

<PAGE>

Suite 400, Bellevue, WA 98005. Except for Disputed Amounts and amounts withheld
in good faith by Expedia, payment shall be made by Expedia to Company on a net
thirty (30) days basis after receipt of properly submitted and correct
invoice(s) for Services and validation by Expedia.

     (c) Disputed Amounts. As used herein "Disputed Amounts" means amounts that
are subject to a bona fide dispute raised by Expedia in writing. All Disputed
Amounts that Expedia subsequently agrees in writing to pay ("Agreed Payment") or
that are required to be paid pursuant to a proper court order or award from any
mutually submitted arbitration ("Required Payment") shall be paid within thirty
(30) days from the date of such agreement or determination.

     (d) Revisions to Services.

         (i)   Expedia Changes. Expedia reserves the right, from time to time
during the term of this Agreement, to expand, supplement, modify the Statement

accepts a Company Change Proposal, Company's Services shall be revised
accordingly, which revision shall be memorialized in a written amendment signed
by Company and Expedia. If Expedia rejects a Company Change Proposal, Company's
Services shall not be revised, and the proposed Change shall not be performed.

         (iv)  Catastrophic and/or Force Majeure Events. Services may be
expanded as necessary to meet a catastrophic or force majeure event. The parties
agree to make a corresponding equitable adjustment in the Services Fees within a
reasonable time after the occurrence of such event based upon such expanded
Services.

4.   SUBCONTRACTING OF SERVICES. Company shall have the right to subcontract all
or any portion of the Services to third parties ("Subcontractor") without the
express written consent of Expedia. Company agrees that in the event that
Company or its Subcontractor decides to move the Services from Company's
facility located at Canyon Park, Company or its Subcontractor will provide
Expedia with at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice of
such impending move, and Expedia, in its reasonable discretion, may agree to
such re-location of Services, or at its option, terminate this Agreement.
Further, in the event that Company elects to change Subcontractors during the
Agreement, Company agrees to provide Expedia with at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice of such change. In the event that Company elects to use a
Subcontractor, Company agrees to comply with all of the following conditions and
requirements:

     (a) Company guarantees its Subcontractor's fulfillment of the applicable
obligations imposed on Company by this Agreement; and

     (b) Company shall indemnify Expedia for all damages and/or costs of any
kind, to the extent set forth in Section 7 herein, incurred by Expedia and
caused by Subcontractor's fulfillment of the applicable obligations imposed on

shall have the right to offset any amounts due and owing to Company with the
amounts paid to such Subcontractor. Company shall indemnify Expedia for all
damages and/or costs of any kind, without limitation, incurred by Expedia caused

5.   CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

     (a) Scope. The parties understand and acknowledge that each of them (and
their respective employees, consultants and subcontractors) may have disclosed
to it, in connection with the rendition of services and performance of their
obligations of this Agreement, confidential and/or proprietary information of
the other party. The terms and conditions of that certain Non-Disclosure
Agreement ("NDA") between the parties, dated October 1, 1999, shall apply to all
such confidential and proprietary information.

     (b) Press Releases/Publicity. Company may list Expedia as a representative
customer in tangible lists of representative clients delivered to potential

form, content and manner of distribution satisfactory to Expedia). No other
publicity or press release may be made in relation to this Agreement by either
party without the other party's prior written approval.

     (c) Security. In addition to the confidentiality obligations of the NDA,
Company agrees to implement security procedures, to Expedia's satisfaction,
based on industry standards, sufficient to prevent the disclosure of the Expedia
Information, data and/or programs to unauthorized third parties. Company will
also be responsible for reporting to Expedia and assisting with the resolution
of any problems arising from such unauthorized access.

     (d) Ownership Rights. Both parties agree that each has and shall retain
ownership rights to its own Confidential Information and that upon completion or
termination of this Agreement and request from the other party, each party will
return the other's Confidential Information regardless of the media in which it
is stored.

 obligations as stated in this Agreement.

     and perform according to the terms of this Agreement.

7.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

     Microsoft and its subcontractors (if any), and its and their respective
officers, directors, agents or designees, shall not be liable for any loss
incurred by Expedia occasioned by acts performed (or not performed) by them, or
advice or assistance given by them, in good faith in the performance of their
duties hereunder, and in any event shall be liable only for willful wrongdoing
or gross negligence and not for honest errors of judgment; provided, however,
that in no event shall Microsoft or such subcontractors be held liable for any
consequential damages or for any loss of profits suffered by Expedia or by any
third party, and provided further that the amount of damages claimed in respect
of all breaches of contract that may occur during one fiscal year in regard to
Expedia shall not exceed the amount of compensation which Expedia owes and/or
has paid to Microsoft for the fiscal year during which the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

breach of contract has occurred. Expedia agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Microsoft and its subcontractors, and its and their respective officers,
directors, agents and designees, from and against all costs, damages, judgments,
attorneys' fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of every kind and nature
which they or any of them may incur, sustain or be required to pay in connection
with or arising out of the performance of their obligations hereunder (unless
such costs, damages, judgments, fees, expenses, obligations or liabilities are
incurred in connection with or arise out of willful wrongdoing or gross
negligence). This Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.   TAXES.

     (a) The Service Fees to be paid by Expedia to Company herein do not include
any foreign, U.S. federal, state, local, municipal or other governmental taxes,
duties, levies, fees, excises or tariffs, arising as a result of or in
connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement including,
without limitation, any state or local sales or use taxes or any value added tax
or business transfer tax now or hereafter imposed on the provision of goods and
services to Expedia by Company under this Agreement, regardless of whether the
same are separately stated by Company. All such taxes (and any penalties,
interest, or other additions to any such taxes), with the exception of taxes
imposed on Company's net income or with respect to Company's property ownership,
shall be the financial responsibility of Expedia. Expedia agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Company harmless from any such taxes or claims, causes of
action, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and
any other liabilities of any nature whatsoever related to such taxes.

     (b) Expedia will pay all applicable value added, sales and use taxes and
other taxes levied on it by a duly constituted and authorized taxing authority
on the services or other items provided under this Agreement or any transaction
related thereto in each country in which the services and/or property are being
provided or in which the transactions contemplated hereunder are otherwise
subject to tax, regardless of the method of delivery. Any taxes that are owed by
Expedia, (i) solely as a result of entering into this Agreement and the payment
of the Service Fees hereunder, (ii) are required or permitted to be collected
from Expedia by Company under applicable law, and (iii) are based upon the
amounts payable under this Agreement (such taxes described in (i), (ii), and
(iii) above are referred to herein as the "Collected Taxes"), shall be remitted
by Expedia to Company whereupon, upon request, Company shall provide to Expedia
tax receipts or other evidence indicating that such Collected Taxes have been
collected by Company and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. Expedia
may provide to Company an exemption certificate acceptable to Company and to the
relevant taxing authority (including without limitation a resale certificate) in
which case, after the date upon which such certificate is received in proper
form, Company shall not collect the taxes covered by such certificate.

     (c) Expedia agrees that each payment to be made hereunder shall be free of
all withholding imposed by any jurisdiction, and if any such withholding is
required, Expedia shall pay an additional amount such that after deduction of
all amounts required to be withheld, the net amount of the payment will equal,
on an after tax basis, the amount of the payment that would be due absent such
withholding.

     (d) This Section 8 shall govern the treatment of all taxes arising as a
result of or in connection with this Agreement notwithstanding any other section
of this Agreement.

     (e) In addition to the other undertakings of Expedia set forth in this
Agreement, Expedia shall be responsible to reimburse Microsoft for any and all
Washington Business and Occupation tax liability imposed on Microsoft with
respect to the payments received from Expedia by Microsoft. Such reimbursement
shall be paid by Expedia to Microsoft through a tax reimbursement payment. Such
tax reimbursement payments shall each be in an amount such that after Microsoft
pays all Business and Occupation taxes imposed with respect to both the payments
required elsewhere in this Agreement, and the payments called for in this
paragraph, the net amount of the aggregate of all payments made by Expedia to
Microsoft under this agreement will equal, on an after tax basis, the amount of
the payment that is due under this Agreement excluding this Section 8(e).

                                STATEMENT OF WORK
                                -----------------

THIS EXHIBIT "A" is a continuation of that certain Hosting Services Agreement
(the "Agreement") by and between Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia") and Microsoft
Corporation ("Company"). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meanings that are ascribed in the Agreement.

Company shall provide the following Services to Expedia in accordance with the
Agreement:

Services

Company will provide to Expedia all services and support as listed and described
in the Internet Hosting Services - HI 1 FY02 ("IHS") Product Portfolio, which
shall be updated from time to time as set forth below. These services and
support are to be provided in the Canyon Park Data Center, as per Expedia's
request, through the end of Fiscal Year 2002 ("FY02"). At the end of this
period, Company and Expedia will determine the need to expand delivery of
services to additional Data Centers based on existing capacity in Canyon Park,
and Expedia projections, said projections to be delivered by Expedia on a six
month cycle, to occur on or about April and November.

Expedia will select, on a per-server basis, those services which it requires, as
appropriate to the service offering ("SO") Level accorded each server, the SO to
be designated by Expedia. Expedia will also select, as appropriate, all services
listed as optional in the IHS Product Portfolio. Company will deliver, upon any
change to the listing of services and support in the Product Portfolio,
notification and content of said changes. Company will also provide updated
notification and escalation path information in conjunction with Product
Portfolio notifications. The change notifications and reviews will occur with a
frequency of no less than six (6) months, concurrent with scheduled revision to
the Product Portfolio.

In the event that Expedia requires services not assigned to a server's
designated SO level, Expedia will notify Company that the server is to be
promoted to the appropriate SO level. The terms and limitations of such a
promotion to be as follows:

     1.  Servers built out to a requested SO level must remain at that SO level
         or higher for a period of no less than six (6) months.

     2.  Servers promoted to a higher SO level must remain at that promoted SO
         level or higher for a period of no less than six months.

Non-Company Data Center Standard Support:

Company will permit Expedia to deploy non-Company standard hardware and software
technology into Company Data Centers barring physical constraints which prevent
proper deployment. At Expedia's request, Company will review the feasibility of
adopting such technology as a Company Data Center standard. Support of such
technology will be determined based on the following conditions:

     1.  In the event that Company determines the technology can be adopted as a
         Company Data Center standard, technology and support standards will be
         added to the Product Portfolio, and Expedia will agree to meet all
         support requirements as listed in the Product Portfolio,

    2.   In the event that Company determines the technology cannot be adopted
         as a Company Data Center standard, Expedia will assume all support of
         the system beyond power and network connectivity.

Reporting Services:

Company will provide Expedia access to all reporting services and data delivery
provided to all other Company Data Center Hosting Customers.

THIS EXHIBIT "B" is a continuation of that certain Services Agreement (the
"Agreement") by and between Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia") and Microsoft Corporation
("Company"). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings
that are ascribed in the Agreement.

Company guarantees that the Service Fees charged to Expedia for the provision of
the Services shall be at Company's cost, and shall be the same as the pricing
provided to all other internal Company customers. The parties agree that the
Service Fees can be adjusted by Company no more than twice annually during the
term of the Agreement.

Company agrees to provide Expedia with sixty (60) days advance written notice of
any price increase of more than five percent (5%). In the event that Company,
itself, has less than sixty (60) days notice of such price increase, Company
shall provide Expedia with notice as soon as reasonably possible.
