rights in connection with the Product and any enhancement or special feature
added to the Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DFS will own all rights in
connection with any enhancements or special features added to the Product at
DFS's request ("DFS Enhancements"). "). Any suggestion or concept already
developed or under development by INTERSECTIONS at the time requested by DFS
shall not be considered a DFS enhancement for the purposes of this Agreement.
INTERSECTIONS agrees that all work in connection with any DFS Enhancements under
this Agreement constitute "work-for-hire" as that term is defined in Section 101
of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 1 01, and is the sole and exclusive
property of DFS. All right, title and interest in copyrights, trade secrets,
trademarks, service marks, patents and other intellectual property derived in
any DFS Enhancement, to the extent they are available, are the sole and
exclusive property of DFS, free from any claim or retention of rights thereto on
the part of INTERSECTIONS. In the event that the aforementioned rights are found
not to be a 'work-for-hire" or otherwise cannot be conferred to DFS
automatically, INTERSECTIONS acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes an
assignment of such rights in any DFS Enhancement and agrees to execute whatever
documentation necessary to formalize such assignment to DFS.

         b. Contractor. Subject to DFS's prior approval, INTERSECTIONS may
         retain contractors to perform work in connection with the Product and
         Services. INTERSECTIONS will ensure that all DFS Enhancement created,
         prepared, or produced by an INTERSECTIONS contractor will become the
         sole property of DFS. INTERSECTIONS will require that each contractor
         agree to convey all right, title and interest in copyrights, trade
         secret, trademarks, service marks, patents and other intellectual
         property derived in any DFS Enhancement before the contractor begins to
         perform such work. If, despite INTERSECTIONS's best efforts, a
         contractor is unwilling to agree to convey all of these rights in any
         DFS Enhancement, INTERSECTIONS will immediately notify DFS, which will
         then determine whether to authorize INTERSECTIONS to retain the
         contractor under revised terms.

                  6        Product Differentiation. INTERSECTIONS will not use
         any DFS Enhancement for any purpose except as provided hereunder
         without the written consent of DFS.

                  7.       Product Name. The name of the Product shall be
         ProfileProtect. DFS shall be the owner of such name. DFS grants
         INTERSECTIONS a license to use such name during the term of this
         Agreement. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, DFS grants
         INTERSECTIONS a license to use such name for the purpose of providing
         the Product and Services in accordance with Paragraph 5 to Cardmembers
         who continue to purchase the Product.

                  8.       Review of Promotional Materials. All advertising and
         promotional materials used in connection with the Product, including,
         but not limited to, fulfillment kits, brochures, newsletters, inserts,
         telemarketing scripts, customer correspondence and form letters, must
         be approved by both parties, such approval or disapproval not to be
         unreasonably withheld. Each party will notify the other in writing of
         its approval of a submitted item within ten (10) business days of
         receipt. Specific reasons must be given for disapproval. In the event
         the reviewing party has not notified the submitting party of its
         approval or disapproval within the ten (10) day period, the submitting
         party will notify the reviewing party in writing of that fact. Upon
         receipt of such notice, the reviewing party will have until the end of
         the next business day to either approve or disapprove the item. If the
         reviewing party has not responded by the end of the next business day,
         the item will be deemed approved. If the submitting party resubmits an
         item for review incorporating changes requested by the reviewing party,
         the reviewing party will notify the submitting party of its approval or
         disapproval within five (5) business days of receipt of the
         resubmission.

         9. Use of DFS Work Product or Name. INTERSECTIONS will not use and will
keep its employees, agents and subcontractors, if any, from using the name of
DFS or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or any name, logo, copyright,
service mark or trademark owned or licensed by DFS, its parent, subsidiaries or
affiliates, in any manner whatsoever that is not otherwise authorized by the
terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of DFS. In addition,
INTERSECTIONS will not use any work product produced exclusively hereunder for
any purpose whatsoever including advertisements, client lists or submissions in
competitions without the prior written approval of DFS.

         10.      Customer List. DFS shall engage an agent to develop targeted
                  contact lists based on DISCOVER Cardmembers to market the
                  Product. INTERSECTIONS will have input into agent's selection
                  criteria subject to DFS's approval.

         INTERSECTIONS agrees that DFS has the right to market the Product using
customer lists that are not based on DISCOVER Cardmembers. Should DFS exercise
this right, both parties shall mutually agree as to the functions to be
performed by each party and each party's compensation.

         INTERSECTIONS recognizes that the customer relationship and the above
lists are the property of DFS. INTERSECTIONS shall return or destroy all such
lists on termination of this Agreement and shall treat such information as
confidential in accordance with Paragraph 12.

connection with the performance of this Agreement and will not (except as
required by law) be disclosed without the approval of the other party to any
third party or to any of such party's affiliates, directors, officers or
employees except those with a "need to know". Any such disclosure to a third
party shall be made only upon receipt of a confidentiality agreement approved by
DFS from such third party which is substantially as comprehensive in terms as

Agreement from DMS, its subcontractor, prior to commencement of this Agreement.
Each party shall retain exclusive ownership of its Confidential Information with
the right to demand return of Confidential Information from the other party at
any time.

Confidential Information only to those of its employees who are engaged in

information under such laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and any other federal and state privacy laws. In

Cardmember information. Such measures will, at a minimum, be designed to meet
the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for
Safeguarding Customer Information as issued and interpreted by the federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (as C.F.R. 308 and 364).

         Each party recognizes the irreparable harm which would be caused the
other party if Confidential Information were used or disclosed in violation of
this Paragraph, and each party shall use at least the same degree of care in
protecting the other party's Confidential Information as it uses in protecting
its own Confidential Information.

         Upon request, all Confidential Information of either party that is in
the possession of the other party shall be returned upon termination of this
Agreement.
