2.   TWO PHASE PROGRAM ROLL-OUT

The parties agree to make the Program available to Members in two separate
phases.

(a)  Phase 1: During Phase 1, MBNA shall approve only those Members with FICO
credit scores of 650 or higher (and which otherwise meet MBNA's credit approval
criteria), and shall decline all other Member applications for credit. For all
such applications approved by MBNA during Phase 1, MBNA shall offer a Loan
Account with an annual percentage rate of approximately 10.95% for PeoplePC
Product purchases, and PeoplePC shall pay to MBNA a discount payment equal to
the amount described on Schedule B (the "Phase 1 Discount") for such Loan
Account. The total aggregate Phase 1 Discount earned by MBNA each day shall be
offset on a daily basis against

<PAGE>

PeoplePC's Settlement Account. All other rights and obligations for the parties
otherwise set forth in this Agreement shall apply during Phase 1.

(b)  Post Phase 1:  After the completion of Phase 1, MBNA shall apply its then-
current standard Loan Account application decisioning strategies, as they may be
modified from time to time, in decisioning Member applications for credit
(including the use of a sliding scale of annual percentage rates based on credit
worthiness, among other things); provided, however, that Members with FICO
credit scores of 710 or higher (and which otherwise meet MBNA's credit approval
criteria) will be approved for a Loan Account with an APR of approximately
10.95% for PeoplePC Product purchases. MBNA shall notify PeoplePC of each such
member approved at such a rate and PeoplePC shall pay to MBNA a discount payment
equal to the amount described on Schedule B (the "Standard Discount") for such
Loan Account. The total aggregate Standard Discount earned by MBNA each day
shall be offset on a daily basis against PeoplePC's Settlement Account. All
other rights and obligations for the parties otherwise set forth in this
Agreement shall apply after Phase 1.

3.   MBNA RIGHT OF FIRST DECISION

(a)  Subject to subsection 3(b) below, PeoplePC shall refer one hundred percent
(100%) of its Members desiring financing to MBNA for initial decisioning (the
"Right of First Decision"). If a Loan Account application is declined by MBNA,
PeoplePC shall be free to refer the Member to a third party lender; provided
that MBNA has no obligation whatsoever to assist in such application referral,
and shall incur no expense in regard to any such application referral.

(b)  MBNA's Right of First Decision shall not be deemed to apply to the extent
that a PeoplePC affiliate offers consumer-purpose financing to Members of the
type offered by MBNA. In the event that any PeoplePC affiliate issues consumer-
purpose loans or lines of credit to Members, and such affiliate elects to sell
the portfolio of such accounts, in its ordinary course of business, then MBNA
shall have a right of first refusal to purchase that portfolio, the terms of
such a purchase and sale to be negotiated at that time. MBNA will notify
PeoplePC (or the seller if different from PeoplePC) of its intent to exercise
such right with thirty (30) days after MBNA's receipt of the notice of sale,
pursuant to Section 15(f) hereof.

4.   PROGRAM

(a)  Design and Administration:  Subject to PeoplePC's rights of prior approval
as otherwise set forth herein, MBNA shall design, develop and administer the
Program for the Members. The Program will offer Customers the right to request
additional advances on Loan Accounts. MBNA reserves the right to evaluate the
Program periodically to determine its compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations and make all adjustments to the Loan Accounts and the Program, as
deemed necessary and advisable by MBNA, or its legal advisors. For example, but
without limitation, MBNA may make adjustments to the Program to ensure that the
Loan Accounts are open-end lines of credit under the Truth In Lending Act, as
implemented by Regulation Z, and that the Loan Accounts offered under the
Program are not covered by the Federal Trade Commission's "Holder Rule" (16
C.F.R. (S)443).

<PAGE>

(b)  PeoplePC Website Procedures / Notification of Decision: PeoplePC will
maintain the appropriate links and textual information on its website to
facilitate the submission of applications for Loan Accounts by the Members to
MBNA. For each Completed Application decisioned by MBNA utilizing MBNA's then-
current instant decisioning tool, MBNA shall promptly notify PeoplePC of the
final credit decision.

(c)  PeoplePC Product Marketing; Publicity: In connection with the promotion,
offer or sale of PeoplePC Products, PeoplePC may refer to MBNA, the Program, or
the Loan Accounts, provided, however, that should any PeoplePC Product
advertising, solicitation or other materials make such reference, MBNA shall
have the right of prior approval over all such materials, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. PeoplePC shall provide MBNA with prompt
and, where practicable, prior notice of all other publicity dealing with the
Program and/or Loan Accounts (including, for example, press interviews) and all
such publicity shall be accurate and consistent with the then-current materials
provided or approved by MBNA.  All such marketing and publicity shall be at
PeoplePC's sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the above, PeoplePC may
respond to individual inquiries about the Program from Members on an individual
basis, provided that said responses are accurate and consistent with the then-
current materials provided or approved by MBNA. Any correspondence received by
PeoplePC that is intended for MBNA (e.g., payments, billing inquiries, etc.)
shall be forwarded to MBNA via overnight courier within two business days of
receipt.  All charges incurred for this service will be paid by MBNA.

(d)  Educational and Loan Account Materials: If MBNA and PeoplePC agree to
develop special marketing, educational or background materials, MBNA and
PeoplePC shall develop such materials jointly. Both MBNA and PeoplePC shall have
the right of prior approval over the final version of all such materials, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(e)  Compliance with Applicable Law: Subject to its right to review the website
or other PeoplePC-controlled media whereby Loan Accounts are offered to Members
or other consumers, and provided that PeoplePC has notified MBNA of website
changes, MBNA shall be responsible for ensuring that the Loan Accounts are
offered and processed in compliance with all applicable federal and state law.
PeoplePC agrees to comply with MBNA's instructions regarding the offering and
processing of Loan Accounts. Further, PeoplePC shall ensure that each of its
employees, agents or representatives and all other persons who assist with
offering or processing of Loan Accounts are educated and knowledgeable regarding
the Referral Procedures, Loan Accounts and the laws, rules and regulations
applicable to the offering and processing of Loan Accounts, and comply with the
same. MBNA may monitor or test any credit solicitation process by PeoplePC
employees, agents or representatives, including through off-site listening as
permitted by law.

(f)  Settlement of Loan Accounts: Payment of funds owing to PeoplePC as the
result of PeoplePC Products financed by Loan Accounts shall be handled in the
following manner. PeoplePC shall transmit to MBNA each day, but not more than
once daily, to MBNA Hallmark Information Systems, Inc., (or other entity
designated by MBNA) a settlement file pertaining to purchases made on Loan
Accounts containing account number, amount of transaction, transaction date, and
name and address of Customer and other agreed upon information. PeoplePC shall
delay submission of each settlement file to MBNA until the corresponding
PeoplePC Products have been shipped to the

<PAGE>

Customer. Provided PeoplePC submits settlement files as described above, MBNA
shall credit the Settlement Account described on Schedule C hereto within (i)
six (6) business days after MBNA's receipt of such settlement file for
settlement pertaining to Completed Applications submitted in the direct
marketing channel, and (ii) three (3) business days after MBNA's receipt of such
settlement file for settlement pertaining to Completed Applications submitted in
the internet marketing channel. The parties agree that MBNA's occasional
deviation from these settlement times shall not constitute a material breach of
this Agreement. For purposes of the prior sentence, "occasional deviation" shall
mean not more frequently than five (5) occurrences in any given two-month period
(beginning with the March/April 2000 period, followed by the May/June 2000
period, etc.), of MBNA's delaying settlement transmission. MBNA may deduct from
the Settlement Account any amounts already credited which related to the
Customer's legitimate rejection of the Loan Accounts, as permitted pursuant to
federal law, rule or regulation.

(g)  MBNA Customer Service Performance Standards:  MBNA shall provide services
to the Customers in accordance with MBNA's standard policies and practices in
effect from time to time.

5.   CREDIT INFORMATION AND MEMBER INFORMATION

(a)  The parties acknowledge and agree that Credit Information is confidential
and proprietary to MBNA and that Membership Information is confidential and
proprietary to PeoplePC. Both parties disclaim any property right or interest in
confidential information that is the property of the other party. MBNA and
PeoplePC agree, subject to restrictions which may now or in the future be
imposed by applicable law, that they may share such information with the other
for the purpose of marketing products and services to the Customers. Both
parties agree that any such confidential information belonging to the other
party coming into the possession of the non-owner party shall be held in
absolute and strict confidence and shall not be shared, copied, sold or
transferred to any other person in any manner whatsoever. Both parties agree to
use such confidential information, regardless of which party may own such
information, in a manner consistent with that party's respective privacy policy.

(b)  MBNA and PeoplePC acknowledge and agree that, from time to time, either
party may, in the operation of the Program, use the other party's confidential
information. MBNA and PeoplePC agree that such use is limited to purposes
directly necessary to the non-owner party's performance under this Agreement or
as the owner party permits in writing. Both parties agree to comply with the
reasonable request of the other party with respect to security procedures to
maintain the confidentiality of the Credit Information and the Membership
Information, including providing reasonable training and oversight of employees,
agents and/or representatives who have access to such information.

6.   TRADEMARKS

PeoplePC and MBNA each hereby grants the other party a limited, exclusive
license to use its Trademarks solely in conjunction with the Program, including
the promotion thereof, as evidenced by the granting party's prior written
approval of any use of a Trademark pursuant to Sections 4(c)-(e).  The
Trademarks may not be used by any other person for any other reason except as
specifically approved for the Program.  This license shall remain in effect for
the duration of this Agreement, and shall apply to the Trademarks,
notwithstanding the transfer of such Trademarks by operation of law or otherwise
to any permitted successor, corporation, organization or individual.  Nothing in
this Agreement prohibits PeoplePC or MBNA from granting to other persons a
license to use the Trademarks in conjunction with the providing of any other
service or product.

7.   DISPUTES AND REFUNDS.

(a)  PeoplePC Responsibilities: PeoplePC shall promptly resolve Member disputes
regarding PeoplePC, including any objection by a Customer to repayment of a Loan
Account, whether arising directly or indirectly through MBNA or PeoplePC, and
shall do so in a manner in satisfaction of applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

(b)  MBNA Responsibilities: MBNA shall promptly resolve Customer disputes
regarding the grant or denial of an application for a Loan Account by MBNA,
whether arising directly or indirectly through MBNA or PeoplePC, in a manner in
satisfaction of applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c)  Mutual Responsibilities: In the event a Customer dispute encompasses
matters set forth in both subsections (a) and (b) above, PeoplePC and MBNA shall
use their reasonable efforts to jointly resolve such complaint.

(d)  Refunds/Finance Charges: MBNA acknowledges and agrees that PeoplePC permits
Members to cancel their memberships and obtain a full refund of the membership
fee within 7 days of becoming a Member. PeoplePC does not permit any
cancellation or return by a Member after the expiration of that 7-day period for
disputes related to the quality of the PeoplePC Products. In the event of such
refunds, PeoplePC will remit any funds that it has received from the canceling
Customer directly to that Customer. Notwithstanding the above, MBNA reserves the
right to charge back to PeoplePC the unpaid balance (plus accrued but unpaid
fees and finance charges) of any Loan Account for which PeoplePC has failed to
respond to MBNA regarding the PeoplePC decision for each Member dispute, as such
obligation is set forth in 6(a) above, within 45 days from the date the dispute
arose.

(e)  PeoplePC Product Disputes: If Customers refuse to pay any amounts owing
under a Loan Account due to legitimate, bona fide disputes about the ready
availability of services or the fitness of goods constituting the PeoplePC
Products, MBNA may from time to time provide information to PeoplePC regarding
such disputes.  PeoplePC shall research the disputes and provide prompt feedback
to MBNA on the disputes.  PeoplePC and MBNA shall negotiate in good faith to
reduce the incidence and severity of such disputes.  If the incidence and
severity of the disputes are unacceptable to MBNA in its reasonable business
judgment, and PeoplePC does not cure such disputes within forty
<PAGE>

five (45) days after receipt of notice from MBNA about such disputes, then MBNA
reserves the right to terminate the Program upon forty five (45) days prior
notice to PeoplePC.

          family or household purposes, and that no defense, set off, or

          with regard to MBNA's decisioning the Pre-Effective Date Applications.

9.   PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS

A summary of the current features of the Program is set forth in Schedule A.
MBNA reserves the right to make periodic adjustments to the Program and its
terms and features and shall give PeoplePC reasonable notice of any such

Part 1

Policy Statement

PeoplePC will protect customers from entry and use of fraudulent information by
other individuals.

Policy Guidelines

Customer information that is collected for membership application will be
verified at several points in the application process.

Process
     1.   Customer credit information (Name, Address, social security, employer,
          annual income) will be used to run a credit check for customers
          applying for the PeoplePC Monthly Payment Plan. This will serve as
          verification that the person whose information was submitted for
          application is the person who applied for membership. If the credit
          check fails, the customer information will not be processed for the
          monthly membership plan.
     2.   Upon delivery a signature is required and captured by the delivery
          service to be used for verification that the order was received by the
          appropriate person.


Part 2

Policy Statement

PeoplePC will protect customer information that is resident in the PeoplePC
systems.

Policy Guidelines

Access to the system housing member information will be limited and regulated.

Procedure
     1.   All call center representatives and PeoplePC employees must have a
          certificate installed on their desktop computer in order to access the
          PeoplePC OrderSupport system.
     2.   Change made to member records in the Order Support Site are updated in
          the PeoplePC database.

     3.   Distribution center employees do not have direct access to the
          PeoplePC OrderSupport System. Their access to information is through
          the distribution center system. Only name, address, and member number
          are available.
     4.   Returns to PeoplePC are regulated by the distributor and PeoplePC
          Headquarters. Returns are not accepted without an RMA and credits for
          returned systems are not given without verification that the system
          has been received.
