               --------
               non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid license to use, reproduce
               and display the Yahoo Brand Features as described in Section 5.5
               above; provided, in all cases, that such use is in accordance
               with Yahoo's then-current standard trademark usage guidelines set
               forth in Exhibit K. DoveBid shall not modify the Yahoo Brand

          6.3  Display of DoveBid Content.  DoveBid shall provide a feed to
               --------------------------
               Yahoo of the DoveBid Content in accordance with the
               specifications to be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Yahoo
               will display the DoveBid Content on the Yahoo B2B Site in a
               manner substantially similar to the example set forth on Exhibit
               J. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yahoo may, at any time and in
               its sole discretion remove or not display any DoveBid Content (a)
               for technical or service related issues, (b) if Yahoo reasonably
               believes that the DoveBid Content violates any of Yahoo's
               standards for acceptable listings (which for purposes of this
               Agreement will be deemed to be the "Sellers Rules" for listings
               on Yahoo Auctions currently located at
               http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/auct/asell/asell-21.html), (c) is

               agency, order of a court or administrative body of competent
               jurisdiction. Yahoo will use reasonable commercial efforts to
               notify DoveBid in writing in the event that it exercises its
               rights not to display or remove any DoveBid Content.

          6.4  As between DoveBid and Yahoo, DoveBid will retain all right,

7.   Limited Exclusivity.
     -------------------

          7.1  During the Term, Yahoo will place no more than [*] Anchor Tenant
               Modules promoting Business to Business Merchants on the front
               Page of the Yahoo B2B Site. Yahoo reserves the right to divide
               one of the Anchor Tenant Module positions on the front Page of
               the Yahoo B2B Site among up to [*] other merchants. In addition,
               in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, Yahoo will place the
               DoveBid Anchor Tenant Module on a non-exclusive basis on [*] of
               the category and subcategory Pages of the Yahoo B2B Site.

          7.2  DoveBid acknowledges and agrees that, except for the limited
               exclusivity provision of Section 7.1, Yahoo may place any
               advertising units for or otherwise promote any entity, including
               but not limited to other Business to Business Merchants, on any
               Page within the Yahoo Properties. Yahoo shall also not be
               restricted in any manner from incorporating editorial content
               from any entity, including but not limited to, other Business to
               Business Merchants.

          7.3  During the Term, Yahoo will not make an [*] in [*] or [*] or
               place any banner advertisements or buttons on the Yahoo
               Properties that are [*] with the Yahoo Brand Features and the
               brand features of [*] or [*]. The foregoing restriction will not
               apply to additional sites acquired by Yahoo and added to the
               Yahoo Properties to the extent that such additional sites had a
               preexisting [*] or co-branded banner or button relationship with
               [*] or [*].

8.   Page Views.
     ----------

          8.1  Yahoo expressly acknowledges its obligation under this Agreement
               to furnish DoveBid with advertising and other promotions valued
               in the aggregate at [*] based on a discount of [*] off of Yahoo's
               year 2000 advertising rate card. The parties acknowledge that
               based on the amount of such consideration to be paid by DoveBid,
               Yahoo will deliver a minimum of [*] Page Views with a preliminary
               target distribution of such Page Views as set forth below (the
               "Preliminary Targets"). Yahoo will use commercially reasonable
                -------------------
               efforts to deliver these Page Views as set forth below, but
               Yahoo's Page View obligation is with respect to the program as a
               whole. Yahoo will not be in breach of this Agreement for failure
               to deliver the specific number of Page Views in any of the
               following areas.

          .    [*] DoveBid Banner Pages

          .    [*] DoveBid Button Pages

          .    [*] DoveBid Email Messages

          .  [*] Page Views of Front Page Promotions

          .  [*] DoveBid Banner Advertisements placed on Run of Network

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yahoo expressly acknowledges that it is the
     intent and desire of the parties to mutually track the efficacy of the
     advertising and promotions to be provided by Yahoo hereunder and to make
     adjustments to the Preliminary Targets for the distribution and types of
     promotions in a manner consistent with the parties' overall business goals
     for this Agreement.  Accordingly, DoveBid will have the right, once each
     calendar month during the Term to request adjustments to the Preliminary
     Targets; provided that all adjusted "Preliminary Targets" (a) will be
     valued at [*] rates in [*] to the [*] available on [*]; (b) will not exceed
     a total value of [*]; (c) will be placed subject to availability and
     Yahoo's prior approval and on a schedule to be mutually agreed upon by the
     parties; and (d) are subject to the "make good" provisions set forth in
     Section 8.2 below.

          8.2  In the event that Yahoo fails to deliver the number of Page Views
               or emails set forth in Section 8.1 (as reduced by any proration
               under Section 8.3) before the expiration of the Term, Yahoo will
               "make good" the shortfall by extending its obligations under
               Sections 2 and 3 in the areas set forth therein (or similar
               inventory mutually agreed upon by the parties) beyond the end of
               the Term until such Page View obligation is satisfied. Yahoo will
               use commercially reasonable efforts to make good any undelivered
               Page Views or emails within three months (but in any event will
               "make good" the shortfall within six months) from the end of the
               Term. The provisions of this Section 8.2 set forth the entire
               liability of Yahoo, and DoveBid's sole remedy, for Yahoo's
               failure to meet its Page View obligation set forth in Section
               8.1.

          8.3  In the event that DoveBid fails to (a) provide Yahoo, at least
               [*] business day prior to the scheduled activation date of any
               DoveBid Link with the DoveBid Deliverables necessary for Yahoo to
               activate such DoveBid Link; or (b) design and operate the DoveBid
               Site or a DoveBid Subsidiary Site in accordance with Section 5.6,
               then (1) the number of Page Views set forth in Section 8.1 will
               be prorated on a daily basis until DoveBid remedies such failure
               (e.g., if Yahoo committed to deliver [*] Page Views over a one
               (1) year period and DoveBid provided Yahoo with the DoveBid
               Deliverables 15 days after the DoveBid Deliverables Due Date,
               then Yahoo's Page View obligation would be reduced by [*] Page
               Views) and (2) all payments made or due hereunder will be
               converted to a non-refundable, non-creditable holding fee for
               making the advertising inventory available to DoveBid.

          8.4  Yahoo will provide DoveBid with access to an electronic database,
               the accuracy of which is periodically reviewed and certified by
               Ernst & Young, LLP or a similarly reputable and independent
               entity, that describes Yahoo's calculation of the Page Views
               delivered during the Term.

9.   Compensation.
     ------------

          9.1  Slotting Fee.  In consideration of Yahoo's performance and
               ------------
               obligations as set forth herein, DoveBid will pay to Yahoo a non-
               refundable (except as expressly set forth in Section 10.3) non-
               creditable slotting fee equal to [*]. DoveBid will pay such fee
               to Yahoo on or before the dates set forth below, with the first
               payment of [*] designated as a set up fee for the design,
               consultation, development and implementation of the DoveBid
               Links.

          Payment                       Date
          -------                       ----

          [*]       upon execution of the Agreement, which shall be designated
                    as a set-up fee for the design, consultation, development
                    and implementation of the DoveBid Links;

          [*]       on the Second Payment Date; and

          [*]       for three quarterly payments payable in 90 day intervals;
                    with the first payment due 90 days after the Second Payment
                    Date.

          9.2  Revenue Share:  In addition to the compensation described above,
               --------------
               DoveBid will, each calendar quarter during the Term, purchase an
               additional amount of advertising in the form of Co-Branded
               Banners or Co-Branded Buttons in an amount equal to [*] of the
               Gross Commissions earned by DoveBid on all sales that originate
               from users that click-through from any DoveBid Link. "Gross
               Commissions" means the transaction fee amount that is collected
               by DoveBid or a DoveBid Subsidiary on auction or retail sales on
               the DoveBid Site or any DoveBid Subsidiary Site. If DoveBid owns
               the asset, then "Gross Commissions" means the imputed transaction
               fee that would have been collected by DoveBid if DoveBid had
               charged its standard commission rate on the value of the asset
               sold. Payments will be made quarterly by DoveBid to Yahoo within
               [*] days following the last day of each calendar quarter. DoveBid
               will provide to Yahoo quarterly reports certified by an officer
               of DoveBid that describes in sufficient detail the number of
               transactions completed, the gross revenue resulting from those
               transactions, and the calculation of the Gross Commission. Yahoo
               will provide Page Views of Co-Branded Buttons or Co-Branded
               Banners in accordance with Yahoo's standard advertising rates in
               effect at the time.

          9.3  Audit Rights.  DoveBid will maintain materially complete and
               ------------
               accurate records in accordance with generally accepted methods of
               accounting for revenue share transactions described in Section
               9.2 above and will allow Yahoo, at its own expense, to direct an
               independent certified public

               and audits will be limited to one time in any twelve (12) month
               period and all of DoveBid's records (and any other information
               disclosed by DoveBid in connection with such audit) will be
               deemed to be DoveBid Confidential Information, subject to the
               terms and conditions of Section 11.3 hereof. In the event that
               any audit reveals an underpayment of more than ten percent (10%),
               DoveBid will pay the reasonable cost of such audit.

          9.4  Payment Information.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth
               -------------------
               in this Agreement, all payments herein are non-refundable and
               non-creditable and will be made by DoveBid via wire transfer into
               Yahoo's main account according to the wire transfer instructions
               set forth in Exhibit F.
                            ---------

          9.5  Late Payments.  Any portion of the above payments that has not
               -------------
               been paid to Yahoo on the dates set forth above will bear
               interest at the greater of (a) 1% per month or (b) the maximum
               amount allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure
               by DoveBid to make the payments specified in Sections 9.1 and 9.2
               on the dates set forth therein constitutes a material breach of
               this Agreement.

          9.6  Warrant.  DoveBid will issue to Yahoo a Warrant in the form
               -------
               attached hereto as Exhibit I on the Effective Date of this
                                  ---------
               Agreement.

10.  Term and Termination.
     --------------------

          10.1 Term.  This Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and,
               ----
               unless terminated as provided herein, will remain in effect for
               the Term.

          10.2 Right of [*].  In the event that Yahoo, in its sole discretion,
               ------------
               elects to [*] advertising and promotion program described in this
               Agreement [*], Yahoo will provide written notice to DoveBid at
               least [*] days [*] to the [*]. Yahoo will describe its reasonable
               [*] for such [*] in its written notice to DoveBid. If DoveBid
               declines to commence [*] with Yahoo regarding such [*] within [*]
               days after receiving such written notice from Yahoo, or if the
               parties fail to reach agreement within [*] days following the
               commencement of [*], or such later date as is agreed by the
               parties, Yahoo may [*] to [*]

          10.3 Termination by DoveBid.  If the Yahoo B2B Site does not launch
               ----------------------
               by [*], then DoveBid will have the right to terminate the
               Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice to Yahoo (unless
               the Yahoo B2B Site launches within the thirty (30) day notice
               period). In the event of such termination by DoveBid, DoveBid
               will receive a pro-rata refund of the initial [*] payment less
               the value of the advertising placed by Yahoo promoting the
               DoveBid Site (or a DoveBid Subsidiary Site) delivered prior to
               the date of termination. The value of the advertising will be
               determined by Yahoo's

               current advertising rate card. Upon the effective date of such a
               termination by DoveBid, the Warrant described in Section 9.6 will
               be cancelled if it has not already been exercised by Yahoo.
               DoveBid agrees that except for the foregoing right to terminate
               and obtain a pro-rata refund, Yahoo will not be liable for any
               failure or delay to launch the Yahoo B2B Site. Notwithstanding
               the foregoing, DoveBid will not have the right to terminate or
               receive a pro-rata refund of any amounts paid if the Launch Date
               is delayed by any failure of DoveBid including, without
               limitation, any failure or delay in providing Yahoo with any of
               the DoveBid Deliverables. In the event of any failure or delay on
               the part of DoveBid, the Launch Date will be deemed to be the
               date that the Yahoo B2B Site is otherwise functional and
               available to the public.

               In addition, in the event that the Launch Date does not occur by
               [*] and DoveBid does not exercise its right to terminate the
               Agreement as described in Section 10.3 above, then the parties
               will discuss and mutually agree upon a revised compensation
               schedule to include payment to Yahoo for the advertising
               placements.  If the parties cannot mutually agree upon a revised
               compensation schedule, then Yahoo will have the right to
               terminate the Agreement without further obligation or liability
               to DoveBid.

          10.4 Termination by Either Party with Cause.  This Agreement may be
               --------------------------------------
               terminated at any time by either party (a) immediately upon
               written notice if the other party (1) becomes insolvent; (2)
               files a petition in bankruptcy; or (3) makes an assignment for
               the benefit of its creditors; or (b) 30 days after written notice
               to the other party of such other party's breach of any of its
               obligations under this Agreement in any material respect (10 days
               in the case of a failure to pay), which breach is not remedied
               within such notice period.

          10.5 Survival.  The provisions of Sections 1, 6.4, 8.2, 11, 12, 13,
               --------
               15 and this 10.5 will survive expiration or termination of this
               Agreement, except that DoveBid's payment obligations set forth in
               Section 9 will not survive a proper termination of this Agreement
               by DoveBid in accordance with Sections 10.3 or 10.4.

               Yahoo will have 3 days prior to the date of the disclosure of the
               S-1.

          11.2 Publicity.  Any and all publicity relating to this Agreement and
               ---------

               agree that the terms of the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement

               and made a part of this Agreement, and will govern the use and
               disclosure of confidential information and all discussions
               pertaining to or leading to this Agreement.

               to user activity on the Yahoo Properties will be retained by and
               owned solely by Yahoo. All information and data provided to
               DoveBid on the DoveBid Site or DoveBid Subsidiary Site otherwise

               provided to it by a user only as disclosed to and authorized by
               that user and will not disclose, sell, license or otherwise

               with all

12.  Indemnification.

          12.1 By DoveBid.  DoveBid, at its own expense, will indemnify,
               ----------
               defend and hold harmless Yahoo and its employees,
               representatives, agents and affiliates from and against any
               claim, demand, action or other proceeding brought by any third
               party against Yahoo to the extent that such claim, demand, action
               or other proceeding is based on, or arises out of a claim that
               any DoveBid Content, DoveBid Brand Feature, any material, product
               or service produced, distributed, offered or sold by DoveBid, or
               any material presented on the DoveBid Site or a DoveBid
               Subsidiary Site (1) infringes in any manner any copyright,
               patent, trademark, trade secret or any other intellectual
               property right of any third party; (2) is or contains any
               material or information that is obscene, defamatory, libelous,
               slanderous or that violates any law or regulation; (3) violates
               any rights of any person or entity, including but not limited to
               rights of publicity, privacy or personality; (4) has resulted in

               subject to any fees, royalties, licenses or any other payments to
               any third party; provided, however, that in any such case (A)
               Yahoo provides DoveBid with prompt notice of any such claim; (B)
               Yahoo permits DoveBid to assume and control the defense of such
               action upon DoveBid's written notice to Yahoo of its intention to
               indemnify; and (C) upon DoveBid's written request, and at no
               expense to Yahoo, Yahoo will provide to DoveBid all available
               information and assistance reasonably necessary for DoveBid to
               defend such claim. DoveBid will not enter into any settlement or
               compromise of any such claim, which settlement or compromise
               would result in any liability to Yahoo, without Yahoo's prior
               written consent, which will not unreasonably be withheld. DoveBid
               will pay any and all costs, damages, and expenses, including, but
               not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs awarded
               against or otherwise incurred by Yahoo in connection with or
               arising from any such claim, suit, action or proceeding.

               other proceeding brought by any third party against DoveBid to
               the extent that such claim, demand, action or other proceeding is
               based on, or arises out of, a claim that any Yahoo Brand Feature
               (1) infringes in any manner any copyright, patent, trademark,
               trade secret or any other intellectual property right of any
               third party or (2) is subject to any fees, royalties, licenses or
               any other payments to any third party; provided, however, that in
               any such case (1) DoveBid provides Yahoo with prompt written
               notice of any such claim; (2) DoveBid permits Yahoo to assume and
               control the defense of such

               its intention to indemnify; and (3) upon Yahoo's written request,

               available information and assistance reasonably necessary for
               Yahoo to defend such claim. Yahoo will not enter into any
               settlement or compromise of any such claim, which settlement or
               compromise would result in any liability to DoveBid, without
               DoveBid's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably
               withheld. Yahoo will pay any and all costs, damages and expenses,
               including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
               awarded against or otherwise incurred by DoveBid in connection
               with or arising from any such claim, demand, action or other
               proceeding.

          ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF

               errors and omissions of at least [*] dollars per occurrence.
               DoveBid will name Yahoo as an additional insured on such
               insurance and will provide evidence of such insurance to Yahoo
               within 10 days after the Effective Date. Such insurance policy
               will not be cancelled or modified in a manner inconsistent with
               this provision without Yahoo's prior written consent. Yahoo will
               maintain insurance during the Term with a carrier that is
               reasonably acceptable to DoveBid and with coverage for commercial

               partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, fiduciary or
               other similar relationship between Yahoo and DoveBid.

               ----------------
               hereto, represents the entire agreement between Yahoo and DoveBid
               with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and will
               supersede all prior agreements and communications of the parties,
               oral or written, including without limitation the Letter of
               Intent executed on or about February 22, 2000 between Yahoo and
               DoveBid.

          15.3 Amendment and Waiver.  No amendment to, or waiver of, any
               --------------------
               provision of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing
               and signed by both parties. The waiver by any party of any breach
               or default will not constitute a waiver of any different or
               subsequent breach or default.

          15.4 Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and
               -------------
               interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
               California without regard to the conflicts of laws principles
               thereof.

               ----------------------
               obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
               consent of the other party, which will not unreasonably be
               withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party
               may assign this Agreement to an entity that acquires
               substantially all of the stock or assets of a party to this
               Agreement, except that consent will be required in the event that
               the non-assigning party reasonably determines that the assignee
               will not have sufficient capital or assets to perform its
               obligations hereunder, or that the assignee is a direct
               competitor of the non-assigning party. All terms and provisions
               of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit
               of the parties hereto and their respective permitted transferees,

                                      I.

IT IS ORDERED that respondent, directly or through any corporation, subsidiary,

subsidiary, division, or other device, in connection with the online collection
of personal identifying information from children, in or affecting commerce,
shall not collect personal identifying information from any child if respondent
has actual knowledge that such child does not have his or her parent's

deemed to have actual knowledge if the child has falsely represented that (s)he
is not a child and respondent does not knowingly possess information that such
representation is false.

                                      IV.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent, directly or through any corporation,

of personal identifying information, in or affecting commerce, shall provide
clear and prominent notice to consumers, including the parents of children, with
respect to respondent's practices with regard to its collection and use of

<PAGE>

     Such notice shall appear on the home page of respondent's Web site(s) and
     at each location on the site(s) at which such information is collected.

Provided that, respondent shall not be required to include the notice at the
--------------
locations at which information is collected if such information is limited to
tracking information and the collection of such information is described in the
notice required by this Part.

Provided further that, for purposes of this Part, compliance with all of the
---------------------
following shall be deemed adequate notice: (a) placement of a clear and
prominent hyperlink or button labeled PRIVACY NOTICE on the home page(s), which
directly links to the privacy notice screen(s); (b) placement of the information
required in this Part clearly and prominently on the privacy notice screen(s),
followed on the same screen(s) with a button that must be clicked on to make it
disappear; and (c) at each location on the site at which any personal
identifying information is collected, placement of a clear and prominent

                                      V.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent, directly or through any corporation,
subsidiary, division, or other device, in connection with the online collection
of personal identifying information from children, in or affecting commerce,
shall maintain a procedure by which it obtains express parental consent prior to
collecting and using such information.

Provided that, respondent may implement the following screening procedure that
-------------
shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Part. Respondent shall collect and
retain certain personal identifying information from a child, including birth
date and the child's and parent's e-mail addresses (hereafter "screening
information"), enabling respondent to identify the site visitor as a child and
to block the child's attempt to register with respondent without express
parental consent. If respondent elects to have the child register with it,
respondent shall: (1) give notice to the child to have his/her parent provide
express parental consent to register; and/or (2) send a notice to the parent's
e-mail address for the purpose of obtaining express parental consent. The notice
to the child or parent shall provide instructions for the parent to: (1) go to a
specific URL on the Web site to receive information on respondent's practices
regarding its collection and use of personal identifying information from
children and (2) provide express parental consent for the collection and use of
such information. Respondent's collection of screening information shall be by a
manner that discourages children from providing personal identifying information
in addition to the screening information. All personal identifying information
collected from a child shall be held by respondent in a secure manner and shall
not be used in any manner other than to effectuate the notice to the child or
parent, or to block the child from further attempts to register or otherwise
provide personal identifying information to respondent without express parental
consent. The personal identifying information collected shall not be disclosed
to any third party prior to the receipt of express parental consent. If express
parental consent is not received by twenty (20) days after respondent's
collection of the information from the child, respondent shall remove all such
personal identifying information from its databases, except such screening
information necessary to block the child from further attempts to register or
otherwise provide personal identifying information to respondent without express
parental consent.

<PAGE>

                                      VI.

Nothing in this order shall prohibit respondent from collecting personal
identifying information from children or from using such information, as
specifically permitted in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(without regard to the effective date of the Act) or as such Act may hereafter
be amended; regulations or guides promulgated by the Commission; or self-
regulatory guidelines approved by the Commission pursuant to the Act.

                                     VII.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent GeoCities, and its successors and assigns,
shall provide a reasonable means for consumers, including the parents of
children, to obtain removal of their or their children's personal identifying
information collected and retained by respondent and/or disclosed to third
parties, prior to the date of service of this order, as follows:

     A. Respondent shall provide a clear and prominent notice to each consumer
     over the age of twelve (12) from whom it collected personal identifying
     information and disclosed that information to CMG Information Services,
     Inc., describing such consumer's options as stated in Part VI.C and the
     manner in which (s)he may exercise them.

     B. Respondent shall provide a clear and prominent notice to the parent of
     each child from whom it collected personal identifying information prior to
     May 20, 1998, describing the parent's options as stated in Part VI.C and
     the manner in which (s)he may exercise them.

     C. Respondent shall provide the notice within thirty (30) days after the
     date of service of this order by e-mail, postal mail, or facsimile. Notice
     to the parent of a child may be to the e-mail address of the parent and, if
     not known by respondent, to the e-mail address of the child. The notice
     shall include the following information:

          1. the information that was collected (e.g., "name," "home address,"
          "e-mail address," "age," "interests"); its use(s) and/or intended
          use(s); and the third parties to whom it was or will be disclosed
          (e.g., "advertisers of consumer products," "mailing list companies,"
          "the general public") and with respect to children, that the child's
          personal identifying information may have been made public through
          various means, such as by publicly posting on the child's personal
          home page or disclosure by the child through the use of an e-mail
          account;

          2. the consumer's and childs parents right to obtain access to such
          information and the means by which (s)he may do so;

          3. the consumer's and childs parent's right to have the information
          removed from respondent's or a third party's databases and the means

     any way disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any
     person, firm or business, except to the extent necessary for negotiations,
     discussions, and consultations with personnel or authorized representatives
     of the other party and any purpose the other party may hereafter authorize
     in writing.  Each of the parties agrees that it shall disclose Confidential
     Information of the other party only to those of its employees, consultants,
     advisors and investors who need to know such information and who have
     previously agreed, either as a condition to employment or in order to

     substantially similar to those of this Agreement.

4.   There shall be no liability for disclosure or use of Confidential

     has provided the other party with a reasonable opportunity to seek
     protective legal treatment for such Confidential Information).

5.   Each of the parties agrees that it shall treat all Confidential Information
     of the other party with the same degree of care as it accords to its own
     Confidential Information, and each of the parties represents that it
     exercises reasonable care to protect its own Confidential Information.
