                                ONVIA.COM, INC.

                       2000 DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

     1.   Purposes of the Plan.  The purposes of this Directors' Stock Option
Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for service as
Directors of the Company, to provide additional incentive to the Outside
Directors of the Company to serve as Directors, and to encourage their continued
service on the Board.

          All options granted hereunder shall be nonstatutory stock options.

     2.   Definitions.  As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

          (a)  "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (b)  "Change of Control" means a sale of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets, or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation other than a merger or consolidation in which the holders of
more than 50% of the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction continue to hold (either by the voting
securities remaining outstanding or by their being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power
represented by the voting securities of the Company, or such surviving entity,
outstanding immediately after such transaction.

          (c)  "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

          (d)  "Common Stock" means the Common Stock of the Company.

          (e)  "Company" means Onvia.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

          (j)  "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

          (k)  "Option" means a stock option granted pursuant to the Plan.  All

to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code).

          (l)  "Optioned Stock" means the Common Stock subject to an Option.

          (m)  "Optionee" means an Outside Director who receives an Option.

the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned and sold
under the Plan is 600,000 Shares of Common Stock (on a post-split basis) (the
"Pool"). The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common
Stock.

     If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without
having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto
shall, unless the Plan has been terminated, become available for future grant
under the Plan.  In addition, any Shares of Common Stock that are retained by
the Company upon exercise of an Option in order to satisfy the exercise price
for such Option, or any withholding taxes due with respect to such exercise,
shall be treated as not issued and shall continue to be available under the
Plan.  If Shares that were acquired upon exercise of an Option are subsequently
repurchased by the Company, such Shares shall not in any event be returned to
the Plan and shall not become available for future grant under the Plan.

     4.   Administration of and Grants of Options under the Plan.

          (a)  Administrator.  Except as otherwise required herein, the Plan
shall be administered by the Board.

          (b)  Procedure for Grants.  All grants of Options hereunder shall be
automatic and nondiscretionary and shall be made strictly in accordance with the
following provisions:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

               (i)    No person shall have any discretion to select which
Outside Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of Shares
to be covered by Options granted to Outside Directors.

               (ii)   Each Outside Director shall be automatically granted an
Option to purchase Shares (the "First Option") as follows: (A) with respect to
persons who are Outside Directors on the effective date of this Plan, as
determined in accordance with Section 6 hereof, 40,000 Shares (on a post-split
basis) on such effective date, and (B) with respect to any person who becomes an
Outside Director after the effective date of this Plan, 40,000 Shares (on a
post-split basis) on the date on which such person first becomes an Outside
Director, whether through election by the shareholders of the Company or
appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy.

               (iii)  Each Outside Director shall thereafter be automatically
granted an Option to purchase 10,000 Shares (the "Subsequent Option") on the
date of each Annual Meeting of the Company's stockholders immediately following
which such Outside Director is serving on the Board, provided that, on such
date, he or she shall have served on the Board for at least six (6) months prior
to the date of such Annual Meeting.

               (iv)   Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (ii) and
(iii) hereof, in the event that a grant would cause the number of Shares subject
to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares previously purchased upon
exercise of Options to exceed the Pool, then each such automatic grant shall be
for that number of Shares determined by dividing the total number of Shares
remaining available for grant by the number of Outside Directors receiving an
Option on the automatic grant date. Any further grants shall then be deferred
until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under
the Plan through action of the stockholders to increase the number of Shares
which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of
Options previously granted hereunder.

               (v)    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (ii) and
(iii) hereof, any grant of an Option made before the Company has obtained
stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 17 hereof shall be
conditioned upon obtaining such stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance
with Section 17 hereof.

               (vii)  The terms of each First Option granted hereunder shall be
as follows:

                      (1)  each First Option shall be exercisable only while the
Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Section 9 below;

                      (2)  the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the
fair market value per Share on the date of grant of each option, determined in
accordance with Section 8 hereof;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                      (3)  each First Option shall become exercisable in
installments cumulatively as to 25% of the Shares subject to the option on each
of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant of the
option.

               (vii)  The terms of each Annual Option granted hereunder shall be
as follows:

                      (1)  each Annual Option shall be exercisable only while
the Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Section 9 below;

                      (2)  the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the
fair market value per Share on the date of grant of each option, determined in
accordance with Section 8 hereof;

                      (3)  each Annual Option shall become exercisable as to
100% of the Shares subject to the option on the day preceding the first
anniversary of the date of grant of the option.

          (c)  Powers of the Board.  Subject to the provisions and restrictions
of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in its discretion:  (i) to
determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section
8(b) of the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (ii) to determine
the exercise price per Share of Options to be granted, which exercise price
shall be determined in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan; (iii) to interpret
the Plan; (iv) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the Plan; (v) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted
hereunder; and (vi) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan.

          (d)  Effect of Board's Decision.  All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any
other holders of any Options granted under the Plan.

          (e)  Suspension or Termination of Option.  If the Chief Executive
Officer or his or her designee reasonably believes that an Optionee has
committed an act of misconduct, such officer may suspend the Optionee's right to
exercise any option pending a determination by the Board (excluding the Outside
Director accused of such misconduct).  If the Board (excluding the Outside
Director accused of such misconduct) determines an Optionee has committed an act
of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of an obligation owed to the
Company, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company rules
resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company, or if an Optionee makes an
unauthorized disclosure of any Company trade secret or confidential information,
engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, induces any Company
customer to breach a contract with the Company or induces any principal for whom
the Company acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, neither the
Optionee nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any Option
whatsoever.  In making such determination, the Board of Directors (excluding the
Outside Director accused of such

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

misconduct) shall act fairly and shall give the Optionee an opportunity to
appear and present evidence on Optionee's behalf at a hearing before the Board
or a committee of the Board.

     5.   Eligibility.  Options may be granted only to Outside Directors.  All
Options shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in
Section 4(b) above.  An Outside Director who has been granted an Option may, if
he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options in
accordance with such provisions.

          The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor
shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company
may have to terminate his or her directorship at any time.

     6.   Term of Plan; Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective on the
effectiveness of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, relating to the Company's initial public offering of securities.  It
shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated
under Section 13 of the Plan.

     7.   Term of Options.  The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from
the date of grant thereof unless an Option terminates sooner pursuant to Section
9 below.

     8.   Exercise Price and Consideration.

          (a)  Exercise Price.  The per Share exercise price for the Shares to
be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be 100% of the fair market
value per Share on the date of grant of the Option.

          (b)  Fair Market Value.  The fair market value shall be determined by
the Board; provided however that in the event the Common Stock is traded on the
Nasdaq National Market or listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value per
Share shall be the closing sales price on such system or exchange on the date of
grant of the Option (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on
such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported in The Wall
Street Journal, or if there is a public market for the Common Stock but the
Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq National Market or listed on a stock
exchange, the fair market value per Share shall be the mean of the bid and asked
prices of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the date of grant,
as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise
reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
("Nasdaq") System). For purposes of the First Options granted on the effective
date of this Plan, the fair market value per Share shall be the Price to Public
as set forth in the final prospectus filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

          (c)  Form of Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall consist entirely of cash,
check, other Shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the
Option shall be exercised (which, if acquired from the Company, shall

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

have been held for at least six months), or any combination of such methods of
payment and/or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be
permitted under applicable corporate law.

     9.   Exercise of Option.

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times as are set forth in Section
4(b) above; provided however that no Options shall be exercisable prior to
stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 17 below has been
obtained.

               An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of
such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
allowable under Section 8(c) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares,
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall
exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the
Option. A share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued
to the Optionee as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 11 of the Plan.

               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Continuous Status as a Director.  If an Outside
Director ceases to serve as a Director, he or she may, but only within ninety
(90) days after the date he or she ceases to be a Director of the Company,
exercise his or her Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise
it at the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
may the Option be exercised after its term set forth in Section 7 has expired.
To the extent that such Outside Director was not entitled to exercise an Option
at the date of such termination, or does not exercise such Option (to the extent
he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified above, the Option
shall terminate and the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, in
the event a Director is unable to continue his or her service as a Director with
the Company as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she may, but only within twelve (12)
months from the date of such termination, exercise his or her Option to the
extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its
term set forth in

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Section 7 has expired. To the extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise
the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not exercise such
Option (to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time
specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Shares underlying the
unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee: (A)
during the term of the Option who is, at the time of his or her death, a
Director of the Company and who shall have been in Continuous Status as a
Director since the date of grant of the Option, or (B) three (3) months after
the termination of Continuous Status as a Director, the Option may be exercised,
at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of death or the date of termination, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its
term set forth in Section 7 has expired. To the extent that an Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or termination or if he or
she does not exercise such Option (to the extent he or she was entitled to
exercise) within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the
Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan.

     10.  Nontransferability of Options.  The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order (as defined by the Code or the rules thereunder).  The
designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee does not constitute a transfer.  An
Option may be exercised during the lifetime of an Optionee only by the Optionee
or a transferee permitted by this Section.

     11.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.

          (a)  Adjustment.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders
of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
Option, the number of Shares of Common Stock set forth in Sections 4(b)(ii)
and(iii) above, and the number of Shares of Common Stock which have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
of an Option, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of
the Common Stock (including any such change in the number of Shares of Common
Stock effected in connection with a change in domicile of the Company) or any
other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided however that
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to
have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be
made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an
Option.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

          (b)  Corporate Transactions; Change of Control.  In the event of a
Corporate Transaction, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent
option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the successor corporation does
not agree to assume the outstanding Options or to substitute equivalent options,
in which case the Options shall terminate upon the consummation of the
transaction; provided however that in the event of a Change of Control, each
optionee shall have the right to exercise all of his or her options to purchase
Shares, immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction.

          For purposes of this Section 11(b), an Option shall be considered
assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other
consideration upon such Corporate Transaction or Change of Control, each
Optionee would be entitled to receive upon exercise of an Option the same number
and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities
as the Optionee would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such
transaction if the Optionee had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the
holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option at such
time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by
the Option as provided for in this Section 11); provided however that if such
consideration received in the transaction was not solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of
the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
exercise of the Option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

          (c)  Certain Distributions.  In the event of any distribution to the
Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other
than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of
consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution.

     12.  Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date determined in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Outside Director to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     13.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a)  Amendment and Termination.  The Board may amend or terminate the
Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable;
provided that, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act (or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company
shall obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company to Plan amendments to
the extent and in the manner required by such law or regulation.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan that would impair the rights of any Optionee shall not
affect Options

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

already granted to such Optionee and such Options shall remain in full force and
effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually
agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which agreement must be in
writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

     14.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to
the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for
failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or
delivery would comply with the legal requirements relating to the administration
of stock option plans under applicable U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal
and applicable state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or Nasdaq
rules or regulations to which the Company may be subject and the applicable laws
of any other country or jurisdiction where Options are granted under the Plan,
as such laws, rules, regulations and requirements shall be in place from time to
time (the "Applicable Laws").  Such compliance shall be determined by the
Company in consultation with its legal counsel.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law.

     15.  Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     16.  Option Agreement.  Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

     17.  Stockholder Approval.  If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance
of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company.
Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree
required under the Applicable Laws.

                      NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     1.   Grant of Option.  The Board of Directors of the Company hereby grants
to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant attached as Part I of
this Agreement (the "Optionee"), an option (the "Option") to purchase a number
of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise
price per share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Exercise
Price"'), subject to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Directors' Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference.
(Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Plan.) In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions
of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Nonstatutory Stock Option
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

     2.   Exercise of Option.

          (a)  Right to Exercise.  This Option is exercisable during its term in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant
and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Nonstatutory Stock Option
Agreement.  In the event of Optionee's death, disability or other termination of
Optionee's employment or consulting relationship, the exercisability of the
Option is governed by the applicable provisions of the Plan and this
Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement.

          (b)  Method of Exercise.  This Option is exercisable by delivery of an
exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"),
which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in
respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  The Exercise Notice shall be signed by
the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company.  The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares.  This Option shall
be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

          No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law
and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the
Shares are then listed.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the
Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the
Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

     3.   Method of Payment.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:

          (a)  cash;

          (b)  check;
<PAGE>

          (c)  delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable,
shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of
the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price; or

          (d)  surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.

     4.   Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or
pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined by the Code or the rules
thereunder) and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the
Optionee or a transferee permitted by Section 10 of the Plan.  The terms of the
Plan and this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

     5.   Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set
out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term
only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Nonstatutory Stock Option
Agreement.

     6.   Tax Consequences.  Set forth below is a brief summary of certain
federal tax consequences relating to this Option under the law in effect as of
the date of grant.  THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          (a)  Exercising the Option.  Since this Option does not qualify as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, the Optionee may incur
regular federal income tax liability upon exercise.  The Optionee will be
treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax
rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Exercised
Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price.

          (b)  Disposition of Shares.  If the Optionee holds the Option Shares
for more than one year, gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be
treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  The long-
term capital gain will be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a maximum
rate of  20 percent.

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

     This Interactive Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
February 4, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), is between America Online, Inc.
("AOL"), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, Virginia
20166, and Onvia.com, Inc. ("Onvia"), a Washington corporation, with offices at
1000 Dexter Ave. N., 4th Floor, Seattle, WA 98109-3574. AOL and Onvia may be
referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

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

     To the extent set forth herein, AOL and Onvia each desires to enter into an
interactive marketing relationship whereby AOL will provide Onvia with
distribution across certain AOL properties via promotion of an interactive site
referred to (and further defined) herein as the Co-Branded Site, and Onvia will
build a web-based buying directory by leveraging Netscape's programming,
services and tools with Onvia's expertise. This Agreement describes the
relationship more fully below and sets forth additional material terms and
conditions. 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 Co-Branded Site.  AOL will provide Onvia with the
            promotions for the Co-Branded Site described on Exhibit A attached
            hereto (however, the parties recognize that AOL does not have the
            authority to bind AOL Canada, and carriage thereon is subject to AOL
            Canada's agreement, provided that AOL will use commercially
            reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with AOL Canada before
            Onvia's carriage thereon is scheduled to begin, and if such an
            agreement cannot be entered into, AOL will provide Onvia comparable
            promotional placements in appropriate alternative areas of the AOL
            Network). Subject to Onvia's approval not to be unreasonably
            withheld, AOL will have the right to fulfill its promotional
            commitments with respect to any of the foregoing by providing Onvia
            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 Onvia to provide Onvia a
            mutually agreed comparable promotional placement, which if so
            provided shall constitute Onvia's sole remedy. If the Parties cannot
            mutually agree on a comparable placement despite good faith efforts
            to do so, then the Parties will attempt to resolve any disagreement
            in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof. 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 redesigns or modifications materially and
            adversely affect any specific Promotion, AOL will work with Onvia to
            provide Onvia a comparable promotional placement as soon as is
            commercially reasonable, and if so provided such comparable
            placement shall constitute Onvia's sole remedy. Notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Integrated
            Impressions set forth on Exhibit A, the Parties expressly
            acknowledge and agree that any reference anywhere herein to
            'comparable placements' for such Integrated Impressions shall be
            calculated at a [* * *] rate.

     1.2.   Impressions Commitment.  During the Term, AOL shall deliver [* * *]
            Impressions to the Co-Branded Site through the Promotions (the
            "Impressions Commitment"), except as otherwise set forth herein
            (e.g., Section 3.4 hereof with respect to the Integrated
            Impressions). With respect to the Impressions targets specified on
            Exhibit A, AOL will not be obligated to provide in excess of any
            Impressions target amounts in any year, subject to the make-good
            commitment set forth below in this Section 1.2. In the event there
            is (or

                                                                  Execution Copy

            will be in AOL's reasonable judgment) a shortfall in Impressions as
            of the end of the Initial Term (including with respect to the
            Integrated Impressions) (a "Final Shortfall"), AOL will provide
            Onvia, as its sole remedy (other than the pro rata refund provided
            for later in this Section 1.2), with an extension of its existing
            promotional obligations hereunder (i.e. promoting the Co-Branded
            Site consistent with the terms hereof, e.g., Exhibit A hereto) until
            the Impressions Commitment has been satisfied, up to a maximum of
            six (6) months (and Onvia shall not be required to pay additional
            carriage fees for such an extension). In the event that the
            Impressions Commitment still has not been satisfied at the end of
            such six month extension period, AOL will provide Onvia, as its sole
            remedy, with a [* * *] of a [* * *] of the total [* * *] by [* * *]
            pursuant to Section [* * *] hereof, to the extent that AOL has
            actually [* * *] from Onvia and such [* * *] at the time of [* * *]
            (i.e., a [* * *] of the [* * *] has not been delivered at the time
            of termination). Except as otherwise set forth herein or otherwise
            mutually agreed, after the Co-Branded Site has been created and
            launched in accordance with this Agreement, AOL will use good faith
            efforts, on a [* * *] basis, to [* * *] to [* * *] and [* * *]
            (excluding any [* * *] or [* * *]) reasonably [* * *] over the
            course of the Initial Term, provided that the Parties understand
            that such [* * *] may be affected by such factors as [* * *] and [*
            * *]. In addition, with respect to all the [* * *] hereunder (i.e.,
            not only the [* * *] and [* * *] discussed in the previous
            sentence), AOL will use good faith efforts to deliver approximately
            [* * *] of the [* * *] during the [* * *] of the Term, approximately
            [* * *] of the [* * *] during the [* * *] of the Term, and [* * *]
            of the [* * *] during the [* * *]; provided that if AOL fails to
            achieve any such [* * *] despite good faith efforts to do so, such
            failure shall not constitute a breach hereof, but AOL shall use
            commercially reasonable efforts to make up a [* * *] in either of
            the first two [* * *] in the following [* * *].

     1.3.   Content of Promotions.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the
            Promotions will link only to the Co-Branded Site and will promote
            only the Onvia Products described (and to the extent permitted) on
            Exhibit D. The specific Onvia Content to be contained within the
            Promotions described in Exhibit A (the "Promo Content") will be
            determined by Onvia, subject to AOL's technical limitations, the
            terms of this Agreement and AOL's then-applicable policies relating
            to advertising and promotions. Onvia will submit in advance to AOL
            for its review a quarterly online marketing plan with respect to the
            Co-Branded 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, and use good faith efforts to
            attempt to optimize performance. Onvia will consistently update the
            Promo Content no less than twice per week. 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).

     1.4.   Onvia Promotion of Co-Branded Site and AOL.  To the extent set forth
            in Exhibit C, Onvia will provide AOL with certain contextually
            relevant promotions and placement. Under all circumstances, Onvia
            will promote AOL as a preferred access provider to the content and
            services as contemplated herein.

2.   CO-BRANDED SITE.

     2.1.   Creation of Co-Branded Site.  Onvia will create a customized, co-
            branded version of Onvia's Standard Site as the Co-Branded Site (to
            the extent consistent with the terms hereof), including distinct
            versions of the Co-Branded Site for each applicable property of the
            AOL Network (i.e., each brand in which Onvia has carriage hereunder,
            except for AOL Canada) as set forth in Exhibit H hereto (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., except for AOL Canada, in
            which case, the

                                       2

                                                                  Execution Copy

            site(s) linked to therefrom shall not include any AOL co-branding,
            but all other requirements in this Agreement relating to the Co-
            Branded Site shall apply to such site(s)). Onvia will use
            commercially reasonable efforts to include certain distinct Content
            within each such distinct version of the Co-Branded Site, tailored
            and targeted to the applicable audience as mutually agreed (the
            "Brand Specific Content"). Onvia 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. Each page of the Co-Branded Site
            shall (i) have AOL or AOL affiliate branded headers and footers,
            (ii) be located on a co-branded URL with the appropriate AOL
            affiliate as the primary domain (e.g., www.onvia.aol.com or
            www.onvia.netscape.com, except as otherwise expressly set forth in
            Section 2.3) such that AOL receives credit for traffic thereto, in
            each case in accordance with AOL's (or the applicable AOL
            affiliate's) then-current generally applicable standards, and (c)
            contain navigational links to the appropriate property of the AOL
            Network. AOL agrees to make reasonable efforts to work with Onvia to
            enable the two then-most widely quoted, nationally-recognized third
            party Internet traffic measurement and reporting services (such as
            Media Metrix or Neilson Net Rating) (the "Ratings Agencies") to
            attribute secondary credit for traffic to the Co-Branded Site to
            Onvia (e.g., through a syndicated report or such other report
            developed by the Ratings Agencies) as part of Onvia's overall
            network (i.e., so that if and where Onvia is mentioned in any
            publicly announced traffic measurements or reports (other than the
            Top 50 Reports as defined below) of the Ratings Agencies regarding
            [* * *], [* * *], or [* * *], such measurements or reports will
            combine as part of a single total the traffic of [* * *], [* * *],
            or [* * *] (as the case may be) to the Standard Site and Co-Branded
            Site (collectively, the "Onvia Desired Result"), by, if and to the
            extent necessary to achieve such Onvia Desired Result, (a) issuing a
            duly authorized letter to the Rating Agencies requesting such credit
            for Onvia (the "Traffic Letter"); and (b) if issuance of the Traffic
            Letter does not achieve such Onvia Desired Result [* * *], as
            Onvia's sole remedy, [* * *] the one [* * *] of the [* * *] on an [*
            * *] that includes appropriate [* * *] to the [* * *] of the [* * *]
            (e.g., [* * *] ) (but expressly not any other [* * *] of the [* *
            *], which shall all remain [* * *] as set forth above). So long as
            AOL satisfies the express requirements of this section, failure to
            achieve the Onvia Desired Result shall not be considered a breach of
            this Agreement by AOL. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
            Onvia Desired Result cannot currently be accomplished with respect
            to reports or measurements by the Ratings Agencies of the top 50
            Internet sites (the "Top 50 Reports"), and that if traffic of unique
            visitors to the Co-Branded Site and Standard Site in the aggregate
            reaches a level which otherwise would qualify those sites together
            as a top 50 Internet site, AOL and Onvia will work in good faith to
            discuss a mutually acceptable means of attributing such traffic to
            Onvia and AOL. AOL shall have the right to change or modify its
            design guideline templates and co-branding requirements during the
            Term, to conform to general changes made to the AOL Network or
            portions thereof, so long as it does not impair Onvia's ability to
            receive credit for traffic in accordance with this Section 2.1. In
            the event that any such changes result in significant redesign costs
            or reduction in placement value, the Parties will work together in
            good faith to attempt to minimize such financial impact. Within a
            reasonable amount of time following the Effective Date (Onvia shall
            make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such amount of
            time does not exceed [* * *] days, and in no event shall it exceed
            [* * *] days), Onvia will integrate into the Co-Branded Site, AOL's
            tools and technology for Quick Checkout. In addition, within a
            reasonable amount of time following the Effective Date (Onvia shall
            make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such amount of
            time does not exceed [* * *] days, and in no event shall it exceed
            [* * *] days), Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
            integrate into the Co-Branded Site, AOL's tools and technology for
            Shopping Cart and Search, if and as applicable and commercially
            reasonable in each case, plus such other tools and technology as the
            Parties may further mutually agree. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
            the Parties acknowledge that Onvia shall have a reasonable amount of
            time (Onvia shall make

                                                                  Execution Copy

            commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such amount of time
            does not exceed [* * *] days, and in no event shall it exceed [* *
            *] days) from and after the execution hereof to build the Co-Branded
            Site, including the Co-Branded Site Buying Directory, during which
            such time AOL may elect to instead link to the Standard Site, and
            during which such time, Onvia will ensure that the Standard Site
            does not promote any Interactive Service other than AOL.

     2.2.   Content and Programming.  Onvia will make available through the Co-
            Branded Site (and the AOL Buying Directory and the RFQ/RFI
            Promotional Area) the comprehensive offering of Products and related
            Content described on Exhibit D in accordance with the terms thereof.
            Except as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties, the Co-Branded
            Site will contain only Content that is directly related to the Onvia
            Products listed on Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Onvia
            may promote, sell, offer or otherwise distribute products through
            its "Request for Quote" services (by which a business can specify a
            request for products or services and obtain responses from merchants
            interested in satisfying such requests) existing as of the Effective
            Date and as updated from time to time in accordance with this
            Agreement (the "RFQ Services") or "Request for Information" services
            (by which a business can specify a request for information and
            obtain responses from providers interested in satisfying such
            requests) existing as of the Effective Date and as updated from time
            to time in accordance with this Agreement (the "RFI Services") on
            any page of the Co-Branded Site if and to the extent permitted by
            Exhibit D hereto. Onvia will review, delete, edit, create, update
            and otherwise manage all Content available on or through the Co-
            Branded Site in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Onvia
            will ensure that the Content of the Promotions and the Co-Branded
            Site do not in any respect promote, advertise, market or distribute
            the products, services or content of any other Interactive Service,
            and that the Content of the Promotions does not in any respect
            promote any entity reasonably construed to be in competition with
            any third party with which AOL has an exclusive or premier
            relationship, as identified by the Restricted Categories and
            Prohibited Categories of Exhibit D hereto. Onvia will provide AOL
            and the Co-Branded Site with the programming, content, and services
            set forth on Exhibit A-1. AOL will integrate Onvia's content,
            programming and services in the manner and areas set forth in
            Exhibit A-1.

     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, and except
            as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Onvia will be responsible
            for all hosting and production work associated with the Co-Branded
            Site (including the Co-Branded Site Buying Directory), including all
            related costs and expenses. Onvia will provide, maintain, and
            support all necessary software and hardware. Onvia will modify links
            within the Co-Branded Site, where appropriate, to re-circulate users
            to the appropriate AOL property. Onvia will ensure that all AOL
            users in the Co-Branded Site (including the Co-Branded Site Buying
            Directory) will not be able to access any additional links to the
            Standard Site, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Except
            as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the AOL Buying Directory
            shall reside within the AOL Network (but be provided to AOL and
            managed in accordance with the terms hereof by Onvia), such that AOL
            shall be responsible for hosting such AOL Buying Directory (except
            the results pages thereof, which shall be hosted by Onvia) and the
            AOL Aggregated RFQ Area, and Onvia shall be responsible for
            production and operation/management thereof, in accordance with the
            terms hereof. In addition, for a period of [* * *] days from and
            after the Effective Date hereof, the Parties shall discuss in good
            faith the possibility of AOL hosting the results page of the AOL
            Buying Directory rather than Onvia, and if so the terms and
            conditions applicable thereto (e.g., the costs and charges Onvia
            would pay to AOL in return therefor).

     2.4.   Technology.  Onvia will optimize the performance of the AOL Buying
            Directory, Co-Branded Site Buying Directory, RFQ/RFI Promotional
            Areas and the Co-Branded Site for integration on the AOL properties
            (e.g., without limitation, by taking all commercially reasonable
            steps necessary to conform its promotion and sale of Products
            through the Co-Branded Site to the then-existing technologies
            identified by AOL which are optimized for the AOL Service, provided
            that Onvia shall have a reasonable time in which to do so following
            notice from AOL). AOL will be entitled to require reasonable changes
            to the Content (including, without limitation, the features or
            functionality) within any linked pages of the Co-Branded Site to the
            extent such Content will, in AOL's reasonable good faith judgment,
            adversely affect any operational aspect of any portion of the AOL
            Network. AOL reserves the right to review and test the Co-Branded
            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.  Onvia will ensure that the Products and other
            Content offered on the Co-Branded Site shall, in all material
            respects, be substantially equivalent to or better than 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 Onvia through any Additional
            Onvia Channel; provided, however, that (i) the inclusion of certain
            Products or Content will not be required where it is commercially or
            technically impractical to either Party (i.e., inclusion would cause
            either Party to incur substantial incremental costs); and (ii) the
            specific changes in scope, nature and/or offerings required by such
            inclusion will be subject to AOL's review and reasonable approval
            and the terms of this Agreement.

     2.6.   Pricing and Terms.  Onvia will ensure that: (i) on the whole, the
            prices (and any other required consideration) for Products in the
            Co-Branded Site do not generally exceed the prices for the Products
            or substantially similar Products offered by or on behalf of Onvia
            through any Additional Onvia Channel; and (ii) the terms and
            conditions related to Products in the Co-Branded Site are generally
            no less favorable than the terms and conditions for the Products or
            substantially similar Products offered by or on behalf of Onvia
            through any Additional Onvia Channel.

     2.7.   Exclusive Offers/Member Benefits.  Onvia will generally promote
            through the Co-Branded Site any program of special or promotional
            offers made available by or on behalf of Onvia through any
            Additional Onvia Channel. In addition, Onvia shall promote through
            the Co-Branded Site on a reasonably regular and consistent basis
            special offers exclusively available to AOL Users (the "AOL
            Exclusive Offers"). The AOL Exclusive Offers made available by Onvia
            shall provide a substantial member benefit to AOL Users (but may be
            by means other than price (e.g., product enhancement, free shipping,
            unique service benefit or other special feature)). Onvia will use
            good faith efforts to provide AOL with reasonable prior notice of
            AOL Exclusive Offers so that AOL can market the availability of such
            AOL Exclusive Offers in the manner AOL deems appropriate in its
            editorial discretion reasonably exercised.

     2.8.   Operating Standards.  Onvia will ensure that the Co-Branded Site
            complies at all times with the standards set forth in Exhibit E. To
            the extent site standards are not established in Exhibit E with
            respect to any aspect or portion of the Co-Branded Site (or the
            Products or other Content contained therein), Onvia will provide
            such aspect or portion at a level of accuracy, quality,
            completeness, and timeliness which meets or exceeds prevailing
            standards in the business-to-business industry. In the event Onvia
            fails to comply with any material terms of this Agreement or any
            Exhibit attached hereto, AOL will have the right (in addition to any
            other remedies available to AOL hereunder) to decrease the promotion
            it provides to Onvia hereunder (and to decrease or cease any other
            contractual obligation hereunder) until such time as Onvia corrects
            its non-compliance (and in such event, AOL

                                       5

            will be relieved of the proportionate amount of any promotional
            commitment made to Onvia by AOL hereunder corresponding to such
            decrease in promotion) and any revenue threshold(s) set forth in
            Section 3 will each be adjusted proportionately to correspond to
            such decrease in promotion and other obligations during the period
            of non-compliance.

     2.9.   Advertising Sales.  AOL will own and manage all Co-Branded Site
            Advertising Inventory. AOL will have the exclusive right to license
            and/or sell all Advertisements in the Co-Branded Site Advertising
            Inventory. Except for advertising inventory sold in the Co-Branded
            Site Buying Directory pages (including any Co-Branded Site Buying
            Directory category pages, sub-category pages, or results pages, and
            related pages), AOL agrees not to sell such Co-Branded Site
            Advertising Inventory to any of the entities listed in Schedule 2.9
            hereto. Onvia may not incorporate or link to any Advertisement or
            other commercial elements without AOL's prior written approval,
            except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

     2.10.  Traffic Flow.  Onvia will take reasonable efforts to ensure that AOL
            traffic is either kept within the Co-Branded Site or channeled back
            into the AOL Network (with the exception of advertising links sold
            and implemented pursuant to the Agreement). The Parties will work
            together on implementing mutually acceptable links from the Co-
            Branded Site back to the AOL Service. In the event that AOL points
            to the Co-Branded Site or any other Onvia Interactive Site or
            otherwise delivers traffic to such site hereunder, Onvia will ensure
            that navigation 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, shall not be interrupted by Onvia through the use
            of any intermediate screen or other device not specifically
            requested by the user, including without limitation through the use
            of any html popup window or any other similar device. Rather, such
            AOL traffic shall be pointed directly back to the AOL Network as
            designated by AOL. Onvia will modify links within the co-branded
            pages, where appropriate, to re-circulate users to the appropriate
            AOL property. Onvia will ensure that all AOL Users in the co-branded
            areas will not be able to access any additional links to Onvia's
            Standard Site, except that links to certain mutually agreed newsfeed
            ("Newsfeed"), forms and proprietary tutorial content areas therein
            shall be permitted if and only to the extent that the Content in
            such areas is provided by third parties which forbid Onvia to
            sublicense the right to display such Content ("Permitted Third Party
            Unbranded Content"); provided, however, that such links shall link
            only and directly to the Permitted Third Party Unbranded Content
            (e.g., a particular news story) and the pages containing the
            Permitted Third Party Unbranded Content shall not contain any
            unrelated Content or Advertising preceding or framing such Permitted
            Third Party Unbranded Content (and the editorial content of such
            pages shall not contain promotions for Interactive Services other
            than AOL, it being understood that the editorial content within any
            such Newsfeeds (i.e., the text of the news story) shall not be
            deemed such a promotion). The number of pages containing Permitted
            Third Party Unbranded Content may not exceed five percent (5%) of
            the Content of the Co-Branded Site.

3.   PAYMENTS.

     3.1.   Guaranteed Payments.  Onvia will pay AOL [* * *] (the "Fixed Payment
            Amount"), payable as follows:

            (i)          [* * *] within [* * *] of [* * *]; and

            (ii)         [* * *] on the [* * *]  of [* * *], until fully paid;

            provided however, if during the Term, Onvia engages in any debt,
            equity, or other financing arrangement or series of arrangements
            raising proceeds equal to or in excess

            of [* * *] ("Funding Event"), then [* * *] of the then total
            remaining payments (excluding any past due amounts, which shall
            still be fully due and payable) will be due and payable to AOL on
            such Funding Event date and any further payment balance amounts
            still owing thereafter will be payable to AOL on a straight-lined
            basis over the balance of the term in [* * *] payments until the
            total placement fee has been paid. In addition to the foregoing, if
            no such Funding Event occurs within [* * *] of execution hereof,
            then Onvia shall pay AOL [* * *] no later than [* * *] after that [*
            * *]. Such payment shall take the place of the [* * *] which was to
            have been paid on the [* * *] of the [* * *], and all other terms of
            this Section 3.1 shall remain unchanged. The Fixed Payment Amount
            provided for herein shall be [* * *] if and to the extent called for
            by Sections 1.2 and 5.4 hereof.

     3.2.   Sharing of Transaction Margins.  During the Initial Term, Onvia
            shall retain [* * *] of the Transaction Margins generated by Onvia
            in the Co-Branded Site.

     3.3.   Sharing of Advertising Revenues.  AOL shall own the rights to
            Advertising Revenues generated through the Co-Branded Site
            Advertising Inventory, including without limitation in the Co-
            Branded Site Buying Directory, subject to the restrictions set forth
            in Section 2.9. AOL will pay to Onvia, [* * *] of Advertising
            Revenues received by AOL for such Advertisements in the Co-Branded
            Site Advertising Inventory, including without limitation in the Co-
            Branded Site Buying Directory, as described herein on a [* * *]
            basis.

     3.4.   Performance Revenue.  Attached as Schedule 3.4 is a list of
            aspirational quarterly targets ("New Customer Targets") of users
            transacting for products or services (including registering for RFQ
            Services or RFI Services, entering into transactions in the Co-
            Branded Site Buying Directory, or registering for paid enhanced
            content or services) via the Co-Branded Site or otherwise directly
            via any Promotion hereunder ("New Customers"). For each quarter
            during the Term, if the number of New Customers meets or exceeds
            such quarter's applicable New Customer Target as so listed on
            Schedule 3.4, then for each New Customer beyond such New Customer
            Target (up to an aggregate maximum of [* * *] New Customers above
            such targets during the Term), Onvia shall pay to AOL an amount
            equal to [* * *] of the [* * *] to [* * *] per New Customer, as
            calculated by dividing [* * *] ([* * *] of the [* * *]) by the total
            number of New Customers for such quarter (the "Performance
            Revenue"). The Performance Revenue attributable to a particular
            quarter shall be paid to AOL within [* * *] following the close of
            that quarter. In addition, if at the time which is [* * *] from and
            after the Effective Date, AOL achieves the aggregate New Customer
            Target amount of New Customers for such [* * *] period, then AOL
            shall have no more Impressions or other promotional obligations or
            commitments with respect to the [* * *] and the [* * *] thereafter.
            If any New Customer Target is not achieved in any quarter, such
            event shall not constitute a breach hereof.

     3.5.   Late Payments; Wired Payments.  All amounts owed hereunder not paid
            when due and payable will bear interest from the date such amounts
            are due and payable at the prime rate in effect at such time. All
            payments required hereunder will be paid in immediately available,
            non-refundable U.S. funds wired to the "America Online" account,
            Account Number [* * *] at The Chase Manhattan Bank, 1 Chase
            Manhattan Plaza, New York, NY 10081 (ABA: [* * *]).

     3.6.   Auditing Rights.  (a) Onvia will maintain complete, clear and
            accurate records of all expenses, revenues and fees in connection
            with the performance of this Agreement. For the sole purpose of
            ensuring compliance with this Agreement, AOL (or its representative)
            will have the right to conduct a reasonable and necessary inspection
            of portions of the books and records of Onvia which are relevant to
            Onvia's performance pursuant to this Agreement. Any such audit may
            be conducted after twenty (20) business days prior written notice to

            pocket costs and expenses of any audit conducted pursuant to this
            Section 3.6 unless such audit shows an error in AOL's favor
            amounting to a deficiency to AOL in excess of [* * *] of the actual
            amounts paid and/or payable to AOL hereunder, in which event Onvia
            shall bear the reasonable expenses of the audit. Onvia shall pay AOL
            the amount of any deficiency discovered by AOL within [* * *] after
            receipt of notice thereof from AOL. (b) For the sole purpose of
            ensuring compliance with Sections 3.3 and 3.9 of this Agreement,
            Onvia will have the right to a reasonable and necessary inspection
            to be conducted by an independent third party selected in good faith
            by AOL, of portions of the books and records of AOL which are
            relevant to AOL's performance pursuant to those sections. Such right
            may not be exercised more than two times per year. AOL shall select
            such third party auditor within twenty (20) business days of Onvia's
            written notice to AOL of its desire for such audit, and the audit
            shall begin within a reasonable amount of time following such
            selection. Onvia shall bear any and all of the reasonable, direct,
            out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any audit conducted pursuant to
            this Section 3.9 unless such audit shows an error in Onvia's favor
            amounting to a deficiency to Onvia in excess of [* * *] of the
            actual amounts paid and/or payable to Onvia hereunder, in which
            event AOL shall bear the reasonable expenses of the audit.

     3.7.   Taxes.  Onvia 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 not based on AOL's net income, including any
            penalties and interest, as well as any costs associated with the
            collection or withholding thereof, including reasonable attorneys'
            fees.

     3.8.  Reports.

           3.8.1    Sales Reports.  Onvia will provide AOL in an automated
                    manner with reports 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 revenue activity by Onvia
                    through the Co-Branded Site): (i) summary sales information
                    by day (i.e., date, number of Products, number of orders,
                    total Transaction Margins); and (ii) detailed sales
                    information (i.e., e-mail address or screenname, category of
                    service provided (e.g., RFQ Services, RFI Services, etc.),
                    and, if and to the extent Onvia categorizes its services
                    into vertical market segments, then the applicable vertical
                    market segment) (in information in clauses (i) and (ii),
                    "Sales Reports"). If and to the extent required to comply
                    with this section, Onvia shall tailor its privacy policy for
                    the Standard Site for use with the Co-Branded Site. Onvia
                    shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such
                    reports monthly or as otherwise requested by AOL, and shall
                    in any event provide them at least quarterly. AOL will be
                    entitled to use the Sales Reports in its business
                    operations, subject to the terms of this Agreement. AOL
                    acknowledges that such reports may contain Confidential
                    Information as defined herein. More generally, each payment
                    to be made by Onvia pursuant to this Section will be
                    accompanied by a report containing information which
                    supports the payment, including information identifying (i)
                    gross Transaction Margins and all items deducted or excluded
                    from gross Transaction Margins to produce Transaction
                    Margins, including, without limitation, chargebacks and
                    credits for returned or canceled goods or services (and,
                    where possible, an explanation of the type of reason
                    therefor, e.g., bad credit card information, poor customer
                    service, etc.); (ii) any applicable Advertising Revenues;
                    and (iii) any Performance Revenue, including the basis for
                    the calculation thereof (including each New Customer, and
                    the means by which such New Customer was acquired (e.g.,
                    nature of transaction). AOL will ensure that its use of the
                    information obtained from Onvia users by virtue of their use
                    of the Co-Branded Site as contemplated under the Agreement
                    complies with the applicable privacy policy on the Co-

                    Branded Site, provided that AOL shall have reasonable input
                    as to the privacy policy applicable to the Co-Branded Site.

          3.8.2     Usage Reports.  AOL shall provide Onvia 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 Onvia.
                    Onvia acknowledges that such information may be Confidential
                    Information as defined herein.

          3.8.3     Fraudulent Transactions.  To the extent permitted by
                    applicable laws, Onvia will provide AOL with monthly reports
                    of all fraudulent orders, including the date, screenname or
                    email address and amount associated with such order,
                    following Onvia obtaining knowledge that such orders are, in
                    fact, fraudulent.

     3.9    Integration Revenue.  During the Initial Term, AOL shall pay to
            Onvia [* * *] of the revenue received by it for integration of third
            parties into the AOL Buying Directory by Onvia to the extent
            received by AOL from its third party merchant partners for such
            integration into such directory by Onvia at AOL's request in
            accordance with Exhibit I hereof (and including only such portion of
            the total revenues from such third parties directly attributable to
            such integration as set forth in more detail in this Section 3.9)
            (the "Integration Revenue"). More specifically, the Integration
            Revenue shall consist only of all cash actually paid to (to the
            extent actually collected by) AOL by such third parties for
            integration into the AOL Buying Directory by Onvia, at such time as
            such cash is recognized as revenue attributable to such integration
            by AOL in accordance with applicable generally accepted account
            principles, less (i) actual third party commissions, (ii) AOL sales
            expenses not to exceed [* * *] of such aggregate amount, (iii) all
            other amounts, fees and revenues received by AOL that are not
            attributed to third party integration into the AOL Buying Directory
            by Onvia, including without limitation, license fees, web design
            fees, fees for any other promotions by AOL of the same third party
            (e.g., unrelated carriage within the AOL Network other than in the
            AOL Buying Directory or for standard (non-integrated) promotional
            carriage in the traditional advertising space on the AOL Buying
            Directory), and revenues from software sales, and (iv) any amounts
            not collected by AOL and/or more than ninety (90) days past due.

4.   [Intentionally Omitted]

5.   TERM; RENEWAL; TERMINATION.

     5.1.   Term.  Unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, the initial
            term of this Agreement will be [* * *] from and after the Effective
            Date (the "Initial Term").

     5.2.   Renewal.  (a) Upon conclusion of the Initial Term, AOL will have the
            right to renew the Agreement for a [* * *] renewal term (the
            "Renewal Term" and together with the Initial Term, the "Term"),
            provided that: (1) during such Renewal Term: (i) there shall be no
            Impressions Commitment, (ii) Onvia shall not be obligated to pay an
            additional carriage fee, (iii) AOL shall not be obligated to provide
            any promotions provided for hereunder (e.g., as set forth in Exhibit
            A hereto), (iv) AOL may, at its option, remove any links to, or
            promotion or mention of, the RFQ Services and/or RFI Services
            (including but not limited to the RFQ/RFI Promotional Area) from the
            AOL Network following the expiration of the Term, unless mutually
            agreeable terms for retaining such links and promotion can be agreed
            upon; and (v) Onvia shall pay AOL the greater of (x) [* * *] of all
            Transaction Margins arising from the sale of any products (e.g.,
            regardless of whether such products are produced by Onvia or are
            provided to Onvia by a third party merchant) on the Co-Branded Site
            during the Renewal Term, but not services (unless mutually agreed),
            or (y) the [* * *] offered under Onvia's then current affiliate
            program (in either case, payment must be made on a [* * *] basis
            within [* * *] following the end of the [* * *] in which the
            Transaction Margins were generated); and (2) if, during the final [*
            * *] of the Initial Term, Onvia

            consistently experiences substantial costs of maintaining and
            upgrading the Co-Branded Site and AOL Buying Directory due to the
            requirements of this Agreement, separate and apart from the costs
            incurred by Onvia in maintaining and upgrading the other Onvia
            Interactive Sites, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to
            arrive at renewal terms which reduce those costs (provided that if
            alternative renewal terms cannot be agreed upon, AOL shall have the
            right to renew this Agreement as otherwise set forth herein). The
            Renewal Term shall automatically commence following the expiration
            of the Initial Term (or prior Renewal Term, as the case may be),
            provided that AOL shall be entitled to terminate any such Renewal
            Term with [* * *] prior written notice to Onvia. The Parties may
            mutually agree to extend the Agreement for multiple additional
            Renewal Terms. (b) In addition to the foregoing, at least [* * *]
            before the end of the Initial Term, the Parties shall discuss in
            good faith the possibility of agreeing on an alternative Impressions
            Commitment, carriage plan, carriage fee, and related items which
            will control during the Renewal Term instead of the terms set forth
            in subpart (a)(1) above. (c) At the end of the Term when the AOL
            Buying Directory is to be no longer maintained by Onvia hereunder,
            there will be a reasonable transition period (the "Transition
            Period") of mutually agreeable duration (not to be less than [* *
            *]) during which the Parties' rights and obligations with respect to
            the AOL Buying Directory shall survive and during which such period
            the Parties will cooperate to facilitate the migration of AOL's
            third party merchant partners that have been integrated into the AOL
            Buying Directory, and AOL's AOL Buying Directory customers obtained
            during the Term, to a different tool selected by AOL.

     5.3.   Continued Links.  Upon expiration of the Term, AOL may, at its
            discretion, continue to promote one or more "pointers" or links from
            the AOL Network to the Standard Site and continue to use Onvia's
            trade names, trade marks and service marks in connection therewith
            (collectively, a "Continued Link"). So long as AOL maintains a
            Continued Link, (a) Onvia shall pay AOL the [* * *] offered under
            Onvia's then current affiliate program (within [* * *] of the end of
            [* * *] during which the Continued Link is maintained), or if no
            such affiliate program is then in effect, Onvia shall pay AOL [* *
            *] of all Transaction Margins arising from the sale of any products
            (e.g., regardless of whether such products are produced by Onvia or
            are provided to Onvia by a third party merchant) on the Standard
            Site (on a [* * *] basis within [* * *] following the end of the [*
            * *] in which the Transaction Margins were generated); (b) Sections
            3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 along with the terms of Exhibit G hereto shall
            continue to apply with respect to the Continued Link and any
            transactions arising therefrom; (c) Onvia will continue to promote
            the Keyword Search Term provided to it hereunder in accordance with
            the requirements of this Agreement; and (d) all of AOL's rights with
            respect to the area on which the AOL Buying Directory resides shall
            continue as they existed during the Term.

     5.4.   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 [* * *] written notice thereof to
            the other Party (or such shorter period as may be specified
            elsewhere in this Agreement); provided that AOL will not be required
            to provide notice to Onvia in connection with Onvia's failure to
            make any payment to AOL required hereunder, and the cure period with
            respect to any scheduled payment will be [* * *] from the date for
            such payment provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
            the event of a material breach of a provision that expressly
            requires action to be completed within an express period shorter
            than [* * *], either Party may terminate this Agreement if the
            breach remains uncured after written notice thereof to the other
            Party. In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by AOL,
            AOL may [* * *] a [* * *] of the [* * *] by Onvia pursuant to
            Section 3.1 hereof, to the extent that AOL has actually [* * *] from
            Onvia and such [* * *] remain [* * *] at the time of [* * *] (i.e.,
            a proportionate [* * *] of the [* * *] has not yet been [* * *]).

     5.5.   Termination for Bankruptcy/Insolvency.  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.

     5.6.   Termination on Change of Control.

            (a)  (i) Onvia shall promptly notify AOL in writing in the event
            that Onvia enters into any agreement with any Interactive Service
            intending to consummate or to potentially consummate any Change of
            Control of Onvia or which could reasonably result in an Interactive
            Service controlling Onvia (other than a Qualifying Investor (as
            defined below)), notifying AOL of the existence of such agreement
            and the nature of the transaction contemplated thereby (subject to
            any applicable confidentiality provisions therein and any applicable
            securities laws) (and in any event, such notice shall occur no later
            than one (1) day following any press release or other public
            announcement thereof by Onvia). For purposes hereof, a "Qualifying
            Investor" shall mean any current investor in Onvia which is listed
            on Schedule 5.6 hereto, if and to the extent that either, (1) such
            investor is not an Interactive Service or (2) if such investor is an
            Interactive Service, at any time, then such investor only so
            qualifies because of a distinctly operating subsidiary of the same
            parent (each, a "Distinct Affiliate"), in which case, such investor
            shall be considered a Qualified Investor only if and to the extent
            that the Distinct Affiliate(s) which cause it to qualify as an
            Interactive Service are (and are planned in the foreseeable future
            by such investor to be) held and operated separately from the
            operations of Onvia as contemplated by this Agreement (in which
            case, neither Onvia nor such investor may cause or permit AOL User
            data or Confidential Information to be shared between Onvia and such
            other Distinct Affiliate). Such notice shall be referred to herein
            as the "Agreement Notice". In negotiating such an agreement, Onvia
            shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid confidentiality
            provisions which would restrict its ability to provide AOL with the
            Agreement Notice as described herein. However, if Onvia is
            restricted from providing such Agreement Notice immediately upon
            entering into such an agreement due to applicable confidentiality
            restrictions of such agreement or applicable securities laws, then
            Onvia shall notify AOL of the existence and nature of such agreement
            as soon as such restrictions no longer prevent it from doing so.
            (ii) Onvia also shall provide prompt written notice to AOL of the
            occurrence of the Change of Control (such notice to be referred to
            herein as the "Consummation Notice"). (iii) In the event that Onvia
            enters into an agreement with an Interactive Service as contemplated
            in this section, AOL shall have the right to terminate this
            Agreement on or after the date that is the earlier of (a) [* * *]
            after the date of the Agreement Notice, or (b) the date of the
            Change of Control; provided, however, that AOL must give Onvia [* *
            *] prior written notice of its intent to terminate.

            (b)  In the event of a Change of Control of AOL (other than the
            consummation, in any form, of AOL's planned acquisition of, or
            merger or consolidation with, Time Warner Inc., which was announced
            to the public on January 10, 2000), AOL may terminate this Agreement
            by providing [* * *] prior written notice of such intent to
            terminate.

     5.7.   Press Releases.  Each Party will submit to the other Party, for its

            delayed, any press release or any other public statement regarding
            the transactions contemplated hereunder ("Press Release"). The
            Parties shall obey all applicable securities laws (e.g., governing
            any applicable "quiet period" relating to any securities filings).
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may issue Press Releases
            and other disclosures as required by law without the consent of the
            other Party and in such event, the disclosing Party will provide at
            least [* * *] prior written notice of such disclosure. The failure

            the other Party prior to issuing a Press Release (except as 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 under this Section 5.7, the non-breach party may
            elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement [* * *] to the other
            Party, or (b) as liquidated damages, elect to modify the Impression
            commitment hereunder by [* * *] (either an increase in Impressions
            if AOL has materially breached the Agreement or a decrease in
            Impressions if Onvia 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.

6.   NETSCAPE TOOLS, UTILITIES & PROGRAMMING.

     6.1.   Netscape Business Directory.  Onvia will make commercially
            reasonable efforts to integrate the Netscape Business Directory into
            contextually relevant areas of its Standard Site. Onvia's business
            users shall have access to and use of the Netscape Business
            Directory (subject to all generally applicable terms thereof, as
            available online). If mutually agreed, Onvia and its business users
            integrated into the Netscape Business Directory will qualify for
            specific Netscape "members only" reduced-price and/or enhanced value
            products and services. In addition, if mutually agreed, Onvia
            business users will be able to search for and find buyers and
            sellers and to leverage Netscape generally available value-added
            business-to-business e-commerce hosted services such as auctions,
            catalog buying, and bid-quote. Onvia understands and agrees that the
            Netscape Business Directory product may be structured by AOL to be
            provided [* * *] or [* * *], and that, if [* * *] by a [* * *], AOL
            shall not be required to force [* * *] to accept the terms of this
            Section 6.1, and Onvia may not be able to so participate.

     6.2.   Netscape Business Card.  Onvia will evaluate in good faith whether
            it will agree to its integration into a co-branded Netscape Business
            Card (with any such integration to be subject to all generally
            applicable terms thereof), enabling Onvia to provide specific photos
            and programming related to its products and services and leverage
            Netscape generally available value-added business-to-business e-
            commerce services. If mutually agreed, Onvia and Netscape will use
            good faith efforts to enable Onvia to customize content and
            programming into a Netscape Business Card. If mutually agreed, Onvia
            will offer to its partners and users accessing Onvia's generally
            available web sites, the opportunity to be integrated into a co-
            branded Netscape Business Card (subject to all generally applicable
            terms thereof).

     6.3.   Netscape Programming.  Netscape will provide Onvia with content and
            programming targeted at its business users through co-branded areas.
            Onvia will use commercially reasonable efforts to integrate
            Netscape's content and programming in contextually relevant areas of
            the Onvia web based applications, and to provide navigational links
            within contextually relevant areas of the Onvia web based
            applications to the co-branded areas containing the Netscape
            programming. The Parties will mutually agree upon the nature of
            Netscape content and programming to be integrated on the Onvia web
            based applications and the carriage/integration plan for such
            content and programming. Any and all such programming shall appear
            only in the Co-Branded Site or, if on the Standard Site, then only
            on a co-branded screen or screens thereof (a "Co-Branded Area of the
            Standard Site") upon terms to be mutually agreed.

     6.4.   AOL Buying Directory.  Onvia will build, operate and provide to AOL
            a best-of-breed, ingredient-branded buying directory in a manner set
            forth herein (including without limitation in this Section 6.4,
            Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit I) (the "AOL Buying Directory").

          6.4.1.    Clickstream.  Subject to AOL's right to redesign (or modify,
                    etc.) elements of the AOL Network pursuant to Section 1.1
                    hereof, the AOL Buying Directory will be linked to as
                    follows: (i) the [* * *] page (or substantively similar
                    area) within [* * *] (initially, and later within [* * *]),
                    will contain [* * *] link to, among other areas, a [* * *]
                    area (or substantively similar area); (ii) which will
                    contain [* * *] links to, among other areas, the AOL Buying
                    Directory, and the AOL Aggregated RFQ Area; (iii) with
                    respect to the AOL Buying Directory, the directory products
                    and services categories space shall be approximately [* * *]
                    of the programmable page, with [* * *] placement; (iv) with
                    respect to the AOL Aggregated RFQ Area page, Onvia shall
                    have, on the [* * *] of the page, a total of [* * *] of the
                    aggregate available partner page real estate (including an
                    area constituting [* * *] of the area above the fold and an
                    area constituting [* * *] of the area below the fold), to
                    provide its RFQ/RFI Promotional Area in accordance herewith,
                    with the exact placement on such page to be mutually agreed;
                    (v) with respect to the AOL Buying Directory sub-category
                    page, to the extent such page is deemed advisable by AOL,
                    the sub-categories space shall be up to [* * *] of the
                    programmable page, with [* * *] placement; (vi) the results
                    page of the AOL Buying Directory shall contain [* * *] link
                    to the RFQ Services on the Co-Branded Site; (vii) for [* *
                    *] from and after the date on which the [* * *] first [* *
                    *], there shall be [* * *] on the [* * *], [* * *] to the [*
                    * *] and [* * *] to the [* * *] (and prior to launch of such
                    areas, AOL shall instead [* * *] directly to the relevant
                    portion of [* * *]); and (viii) with respect to the AOL
                    Buying Directory search results page, the search results
                    space shall be approximately [* * *] of the programmable
                    page, and at least one Onvia search result shall be placed
                    [* * *] (no [* * *] than other general [* * *] search
                    results (standard page type size, font, etc. to be
                    determined by AOL)) (subject to Onvia's having a directly
                    relevant product); AOL controls the order of the search
                    results, but initially, the list of products or services
                    shall be sorted by the following criteria: default is by [*
                    * *], and/or by [* * *] (e.g., [* * *] to AOL), but could
                    also be sorted by, e.g., [* * *] and [* * *]; provided, AOL
                    shall have the right to (a) add up to [* * *] additional
                    sort criteria and (b) change the sort order up to [* * *]
                    times during the Term, unless otherwise agreed to by the
                    Parties. Additional links also may be integrated throughout
                    the [* * *] (or a comparable area if the [* * *] is not
                    launched). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
                    any reference in this Agreement to placement on any search
                    and/or results page or area shall in each case be subject to
                    qualification under the parameters of such search or result.

          6.4.2.    Management; Operations.  The AOL Buying Directory will
                    enable AOL Users to search across Onvia's inventory of
                    products and services along with such other third-party
                    inventory integrated into the AOL Buying Directory in
                    accordance Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit I hereto. AOL will have
                    design approval rights for user interface and display
                    elements of the AOL Buying Directory and results pages
                    (e.g., the manner in which results pages will list AOL third
                    party partner inventory as well as Onvia inventory). As long
                    as Onvia's products and services are directly relevant to
                    the queried item or service, AOL will list at least one of
                    Onvia's products or services [* * *] on the first results
                    page. Upon AOL's request, Onvia will integrate into the AOL
                    Buying Directory (including without limitation the results
                    pages thereof), third-party services and products, in a
                    manner specified by AOL and in accordance with the schedule
                    set forth in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit I hereto. The products
                    and services of Onvia to be integrated into the AOL Buying
                    Directory are limited to the categories of products and
                    services set forth in Exhibit D hereto but shall include a
                    comprehensive offering of such categories as set forth on
                    Exhibit A-1. Although the AOL Buying Directory may reside
                    within the AOL Network rather than the Co-Branded Site, all
                    express obligations,

                    representations and warranties of Onvia herein with respect
                    to the Co-Branded Site (e.g., management, quality,
                    competitiveness, etc.), shall apply equally with respect to
                    the AOL Buying Directory (except as otherwise expressly set
                    forth in this Section 6.4). Notwithstanding anything to the
                    contrary, AOL owns, operates and controls all areas on which
                    the AOL Buying Directory resides, including the Advertising
                    inventory therein; provided that Onvia retains any existing
                    ownership of (i) any proprietary underlying technology
                    related to the AOL Buying Guide as provided by Onvia to AOL,
                    and (ii) the Co-Branded Site Buying Directory (defined
                    below), subject to the terms hereof. In addition to the
                    other operational requirements of this Agreement, Onvia
                    shall ensure that the AOL Buying Directory performs searches
                    and displays results at least as quickly as the buying
                    directory then-currently available on the Standard Site.
                    Such results shall be displayed in a manner designated by
                    AOL from time to time, which may include [* * *]. If and
                    when (in AOL's discretion) AOL launches the [* * *], then
                    Onvia shall promptly make the AOL Buying Directory available
                    to AOL for integration therein as set forth in Exhibits A-1
                    and I, and Onvia shall cooperate with AOL to assist in such
                    integration.

          6.4.3.    Co-Branded Site Buying Directory.  In addition to the AOL
                    Buying Directory (which shall incorporate certain AOL
                    merchant partners and be located within the AOL Network, to
                    the extent set forth herein, including as set forth in
                    Exhibits A-1 and I), Onvia shall also provide and operate
                    the same (or a substantially similar version of the same) or
                    substantially similar buying directory within the Co-Branded
                    Site (subject to all requirements applicable to the Co-
                    Branded Site, including without limitation, co-branding
                    thereof), which such version of such directory may or may
                    not also incorporate AOL's merchant partners therein as
                    required for the AOL Buying Directory (the "Co-Branded Site
                    Buying Directory").

          6.4.4.    [* * *] Buying Directory.  Subject to Onvia's continued
                    compliance with the terms hereof (including without
                    limitation by supplying a consistently "best-of-breed"
                    buying directory product and satisfying other performance
                    requirements in compliance with the terms of Exhibit A-1, E
                    and J as to the AOL Buying Directory), AOL shall not [* * *]
                    buying directory as the [* * *] buying directory in the [* *
                    *] during the [* * *]. Notwithstanding anything to the
                    contrary herein, AOL may, even within the [* * *], (i) sell
                    Advertisements to, and otherwise promote, any providers of
                    similar directories, (ii) promote any [* * *] related buying
                    guides and any [* * *] buying guide, and (iii) promote any
                    [* * *] directory in any [* * *] communities (e.g., a [* *
                    *] industry [* * *] directory or an [* * *] industry [* * *]
                    directory) in the [* * *] (even if such [* * *] directory
                    includes traditional [* * *] products (e.g., a printer, even
                    if sold within a [* * *] industry [* * *] directory)).

     6.5    RFQ Services and RFI Services.  Onvia will build, operate and
            provide to AOL best-of-breed areas for the RFQ Services and RFI
            Services in a manner set forth herein, to be operated via the Co-
            Branded Site, but promoted via links and related promotional and/or
            explanatory content in the AOL Network (such promotional areas,
            linking to such services in the Co-Branded Site, the "RFQ/RFI
            Promotional Areas"), for AOL to incorporate non-exclusively into the
            AOL Network (including without limitation in any B2B Area (including
            without limitation in any AOL owned and operated RFQ and RFI area(s)
            programmed by AOL in its discretion) aggregating third party RFQ
            and/or RFI partners of AOL) (the "AOL Aggregated RFQ Area")). AOL
            will have design approval rights for user interface and display
            elements of the entire AOL Aggregated RFQ Area, including without
            limitation in the RFQ/RFI Promotional Areas. Although the RFQ/RFI
            Promotional Areas may reside within the AOL Network rather than the
            Co-Branded Site, all express obligations, representations and
            warranties of Onvia herein with respect to the Co-Branded Site
            (e.g., management, quality, competitiveness, etc.) shall apply
            equally with respect to the

            RFQ/RFI Promotional Areas (except as otherwise expressly set forth
            in this Section 6.5). In addition to the other operational
            requirements of this Agreement, Onvia shall ensure that the RFQ/RFI
            Promotional Areas perform at least as quickly as the comparable
            areas then-currently available on the Standard Site and such results
            are displayed in a manner reasonably designated by AOL from time to
            time. If and when AOL launches the B2B Area, then Onvia shall
            promptly make the RFQ/RFI Promotional Areas available to AOL for
            integration therein as set forth on Exhibits A-1 and I, and Onvia
            shall cooperate with AOL to assist in such integration. Onvia will
            provide data for AOL's then-standard API (e.g., an HTTP application
            interface which accepts as input the user's screenname and returns
            the following data items in XML encoded form: user ID, RFQ (or RFI)
            number, number of bids, low bid, high bid, and any other applicable
            information) within the RFQ/RFI Promotional Area, with Onvia's
            consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and any other
            mutually agreeable location.

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
            resolve the Dispute within such time frame, the Dispute will be
            submitted to the Management Committee for resolution. For ten (10)
            days following submission of the Dispute to the Management
            Committee, the Management Committee will have the exclusive right 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 the 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, the
            dispute will be subject to the resolution mechanisms described
            below. "Management Committee" will mean a committee made up of a
            senior executive from each of the Parties for the purpose of
            resolving Disputes under this Section 7 and generally overseeing the
            relationship between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement.
            Neither Party will seek, nor will be entitled to seek, binding
            outside resolution of the Dispute unless and until the Parties 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. 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
            in good faith that the Complex Procedures will not apply in order to
            promote the efficient arbitration of Disputes where

                                                                  Execution Copy

            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
            reasonable Attorneys' Fees in those cases where fairness dictates a
            different allocation of Arbitration Costs between the Parties and an
            award of reasonable 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. Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive
            jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the
            federal courts situated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, 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.

8.   iPLANET.  Netscape and Onvia will use good faith efforts to evaluate a
     relationship with iPlanet for transaction and commerce related applications
     and enterprise software on terms to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
     The Parties will use good faith efforts to develop a

     resources to develop and customize such a solution in accordance with the
     terms hereof.

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.  Onvia will approach AOL and allow AOL to commence timely,
     meaningful, mutual discussions regarding the opportunity for AOL to
     participate in future small business, SOHO, vertical trading community
     activities provided by Onvia, including, without limitation, access,
     vertical trading community platforms, and trading systems, before having
     extensive discussions or entering into agreements or commitments with any
     Interactive Service other than AOL regarding the same. If Onvia approaches
     AOL regarding the possibility of a reasonably potential business
     relationship with respect to a new business-to-business product or service
     to be offered by AOL on the AOL Network, AOL will use good faith efforts to
     discuss the possibility of such a relationship with Onvia.

     on Exhibit F attached hereto and Standard Legal Terms & Conditions set
     forth on Exhibit G attached hereto are each hereby made a part of this

     Tier Exchange.  Except for any Promotions identified as permanent
     placements (e.g., Anchor Tenancies), Onvia may elect to redistribute
     Promotions among the tier levels listed herein in accordance with the
     procedures set forth herein and AOL's then-current guidelines for re-
     allocating promotions.  The exchange value of a new Promotion (with respect
     to the number of Impressions received by Onvia for such new Promotion)
     shall be based upon AOL's then current rate card rate for such new
     Promotion in comparison to AOL's then-current rate card rate for the
     replaced Promotion.  All redistribution of Promotions shall be subject to
     availability (including without limitation, availability limited by AOL
     exclusivity and other preferential commitments) as reasonably determined by
     AOL.  Unless AOL otherwise consents in writing, in no event may Onvia:  (i)
     exchange Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 or Level 5 Impressions for Level 1 or
     Level 6 Impressions; (ii) exchange Impressions within the AOL Canada
     Carriage for other Impressions, or vice versa; or (iii) exchange Integrated
     Impressions for other Impressions, or vice versa.  Impressions may be
     exchanged in blocks of a minimum of [* * *] Impressions.  All exchanges of
     Promotions and Impressions shall be permitted only for Promotions or
     Impressions within the same AOL property (e.g., exchanges of Promotions
     within the AOL Service may be made only for other Promotions within the AOL
     Service).  Requests by Advertiser to redistribute Impressions may be placed
     no more frequently than [* * *] per [* * *], unless AOL otherwise agrees in
     writing.  No such request may be made until more than [* * *] have elapsed
     since the commercial launch of the Co-Branded Site in accordance with
     Section 2.1.  For any reallocation of Impressions between or among Levels
     which Onvia chooses to make pursuant hereto, Onvia agrees and acknowledges
     that the reallocated Impressions may be delivered differently than as
     originally described herein.

II.  During the Term, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Onvia shall
     have the right to use the following Keyword Search Term on the AOL Service
     (and the "Go Word" on CompuServe): "Onvia", linking to the Co-Branded Site.

     The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, as set forth in further
     detail in Section 6.4 (and subject to Onvia's ownership rights expressly
     set forth in such Section 6.4), as between AOL and Onvia, AOL owns and

following: (i) online or Internet connectivity services (e.g., an Internet
service provider ("ISP")); (ii) any Portal; and (iii) communications software
capable of serving as the principal means through which a user creates, sends
and receives electronic mail or real time online messages; provided, however,
that an entity otherwise satisfying one or more of these criteria shall not be
considered an Interactive Service if and to the extent that major divisions or
subsidiaries of such entity offer products and services which, if offered by an
unrelated entity, would not make such entity an Interactive Service (e.g., an
entity which offers an ISP service or which serves as a Portal would not be
considered an Interactive Service if and only to the extent that separate major
divisions or subsidiaries thereof offer products and services unrelated to the
ISP service (e.g., such that the Co-Branded Site could promote laser printers
offered by a separate division or subsidiary of such ISP or Portal, but not the
ISP or Portal services themselves)), provided, however, that any entity which is
primarily an Interactive Service (e.g., a reasonably significant portion of its
products or services satisfy one or more of the three criteria above) shall not
be excluded from the definition of Interactive Service regardless of the product
or service in question (e.g., even laser printers from Yahoo! would fall outside
the scope of this exception, and may not be promoted in the Co-Branded Site).

Interactive Site.  Any interactive site or area, including, by way of example

phrase specifically related to Onvia (and determined in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement), and (b) the Go Word online search terms made available
on CompuServe, combining CompuServe's Go Word online search modifier with a term
or phrase specifically related to Onvia and determined in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement).

Licensed Content.  All Content offered through the Co-Branded Site, plus the AOL
Buying Directory, the RFQ/RFI Promotional Areas (including the the RFQ Services
and the RFI Services), and the Programming, pursuant to this Agreement or

even though such reports may be numerous and far reaching across a variety of
topics (e.g., financial news, technology news, and international news; or (2) an
online bookstore, whose focus is just to sell books, even though such books may
be numerous and far reaching across a variety of topics (e.g., children's books,
reference books, and mystery books)).

Product.  Any product, good or service which Onvia (or others acting on its
behalf or as distributors) offers, sells, provides, distributes or licenses to
AOL Users directly or indirectly through (i) the Co-Branded Site (including

requiring purchasers to reference a specific promotional identifier or tracking
code, including, without limitation, products sold through surcharged downloads

purchase and AOL does not guarantee placement on any particular screen or group
of screens (except that run of channel Inventory will be run only in the

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

A.   Within the Standard Site, Onvia shall include the following (the "AOL
     Promos"): a continuous promotional banner, button or text link (with such
     banner or button to be at least 90 x 30 pixels or 70 x 70 pixels in size,
     or other size if mutually agreed) appearing prominently within any areas
     promoting internet access or connectivity products or services , to promote
     AOL Internet access or connectivity products or services as AOL may
     designate (for example, the America Online brand service, the CompuServe
     brand service, etc.) and, at AOL's option, download or order the then-
     current version of client software for such 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), subject to
     Onvia's reasonable approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to post (or update, as the
     case may be) the creative content supplied by AOL within the spaces for the
     AOL Promos within five days of its receipt of such content from AOL.
     Without limiting any other reporting obligations of the Parties contained
     herein, Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide AOL with
     monthly written reports specifying the number of impressions to the pages
     containing the AOL Promos during the prior month, and in any event shall
     provide such reports no less frequently than quarterly. In the event that
     AOL elects to serve the AOL Promos in accordance with this paragraph to the
     Standard Site from an ad server controlled by AOL or its agent, Onvia 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 of the Standard Site on which the AOL Promos
     will appear. In addition, within the Standard Site, Onvia shall provide
     prominent promotion for the keywords granted to Onvia hereunder. Onvia may
     participate in the standard, generally applicable `Affiliate Program', if
     any exists from the corresponding AOL brand. Onvia will need to comply with
     any general program guidelines relating to any such Affiliate Program as
     set forth by the applicable AOL brand. Information about AOL's generally
     applicable Affiliate Program is currently located at:
     http://affiliate.aol.com/affiliate/welcome.html. When promoting AOL as
     contemplated herein, Onvia will promote AOL as the preferred access
     provider through which a user can access the Standard Site, and Onvia shall
     not implement or authorize any other promotions on behalf of any third
     parties which are inconsistent herewith.

B.   In Onvia's television advertisements, radio advertisements of at least 30
     seconds in length, print advertisements and outdoor advertisements (e.g.,
     buses and billboards), and in any publications, programs, features or other
     forms of media over which Onvia exercises at least partial editorial
     control, except (1) when promoting a Prohibited Category (as set forth in
     Exhibit D) and (2) to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement
     where Onvia is promoting an Interactive Service other than AOL (which
     promotions will not account for more than five percent (5%) of the total
     advertising covered by this section), Onvia will include specific
     references or mentions (verbally where possible) of the availability of the
     Co-Branded Site through the AOL Network, which are at least as prominent as
     any references that Onvia makes to the Standard Site (by way of site name,
     related company name, URL or otherwise), and will promote AOL as a
     preferred access provider content aggregator. Without limiting the
     generality of the foregoing, Onvia's listing of the "URL" for the Standard
     Site (other than any customized or co-branded sites tailored for use with a
     third party Interactive Service) will be accompanied by an equally
     prominent listing of the "keyword" term on AOL for the Co-Branded Site.
     This will be done with the following treatment: "America Online Keyword:
     Onvia" or another AOL approved method.

C.   In any area on the Standard Site promoting internet connectivity services
     (including without limitation connectivity via ISP or DSL), Onvia will
     integrate all of AOL's connectivity services (e.g., AOL TV, AOL Service,
     and CompuServe) to an extent no less favorable than that for other
     providers of such services on the same site. To the extent that Onvia
     offers or promotes any products or services for sale which are similar to
     any Component Products (as defined herein), Onvia will use commercially
     reasonable efforts to provide equal or greater promotions for such AOL-
     designated products. In addition to the above, Onvia will include links to
     other AOL products or services from the Standard Site. Moreover, to the
     extent that Onvia integrates functionality similar to a Component Product
     in its

                                      37

     Standard Site, Onvia shall discuss in good faith the possibility of using
     AOL's version of such Component Product. For purposes of this Agreement,

                                  Operations
                                  ----------

1.   General.  Onvia will use commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure
that the Co-Branded Site (including the Products and other Content contained
therein) is in the top three (3) in the business-to-business industry, as
determined by each of the following methods: (a) based on a cross-section of
third-party reviewers who are recognized authorities in such industry and (b)
with respect to all material quality averages or standards in such industry,
including each of the following: (i) pricing of Products, (ii) scope and
selection of Products (except to the extent that Onvia is limited to offering
certain Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (iii) quality of
Products, (iv) customer service and fulfillment associated with the marketing
and sale of Products and (v) ease of use. In addition, the Co-Branded Site will,
with respect to each of the measures listed above, be competitive in all
respects with that which is offered by any Onvia competitors.

2.   Co-Branded Site Infrastructure.  Onvia will be responsible for all
communications, hosting and connectivity costs and expenses associated with the
Co-Branded Site.  Onvia will provide all hardware, software, telecommunications
lines and other infrastructure necessary to meet traffic demands on the Co-
Branded Site from the AOL Network.  Onvia will design and implement the network
between the AOL Service and Co-Branded Site such that (i) no single component
failure will have a materially adverse impact on AOL Members seeking to reach
the Co-Branded Site from the AOL Network and (ii) no single line under material
control by Onvia will run at more than 70% average utilization for a 5-minute
peak in a daily period.  In this regard, Onvia will provide AOL, upon request,
with a detailed network diagram regarding the architecture and network
infrastructure supporting the Co-Branded Site.  In the event that Onvia elects
to create a custom version of the Co-Branded Site in order to comply with the
terms of this Agreement, Onvia will bear responsibility for all aspects of the
implementation, management and cost of such customized site.

3.   Optimization; Speed.  Onvia will use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that: (a) the functionality and features within the Co-Branded Site are
optimized for the client software then in use by AOL Members; and (b) the Co-
Branded Site is designed and populated in a manner that minimizes delays when
AOL Users attempt to access such site.  At a minimum, Onvia will ensure that the
Co-Branded Site's data transfers initiate within fewer than fifteen (15) seconds
on average on a typical day.  Prior to commercial launch of any material
promotions described herein, Onvia will permit AOL to conduct performance and
load testing of the Co-Branded Site (in person or through remote
communications), with such commercial launch not to commence until such time as
AOL is reasonably satisfied with the results of any such testing.

4.   User Interface.  Onvia will maintain a graphical user interface within the
Co-Branded Site that is reasonably competitive in all material respects with
interfaces of other similar sites based on similar form technology.  AOL
reserves the right to review and reasonably approve the user interface and site
design prior to launch of the Promotions and to conduct focus group testing to
assess compliance with respect to such consultation and with respect to Onvia's
compliance with the preceding sentence.

5.   Technical Problems.  Onvia agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
address material technical problems (over which Onvia exercises control)
affecting use by AOL Users of the Co-Branded Site (a "Onvia Technical Problem")
promptly following notice thereof.  In the event that Onvia is unable to
promptly resolve an Onvia Technical Problem following notice thereof from AOL
(including, without limitation, infrastructure deficiencies producing user
delays), AOL will have the right to regulate the promotions it provides to Onvia
hereunder until such time as Onvia corrects the Onvia Technical Problem at
issue.

6.   Monitoring.  Onvia will ensure that the performance and availability of the
Co-Branded Site is monitored on a continuous basis.  Onvia will provide AOL with
contact information (including e-mail, phone, pager and fax information, as
applicable, for both during and after business hours) for Onvia's principal
business and technical representatives, for use in cases when issues or problems
arise with respect to the Co-Branded Site.

7.   Telecommunications.  Where applicable Onvia 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.  The network will be sized such
that no single line over which the Onvia has material control runs at more than
70% average utilization for a 5-minute peak in a daily period.

8.   Security.  Onvia 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
numbers, banking/financial information, and member address information) to and
from the Co-Branded Site.  Onvia will facilitate periodic reviews of the Co-
Branded Site by AOL in order to evaluate the security risks of such site.  Onvia
will promptly remedy any security risks or breaches of security as may be
identified by AOL's Operations Security team.

9.   Technical Performance.

     i.   Onvia will design the Co-Branded Site to support the AOL-client
     embedded versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.XX and 4.XX browsers
     (Windows and Macintosh) (and above) and the Netscape Browser 4.XX (and
     above) and make commercially reasonable efforts to support all other AOL
     browsers listed at: "http://webmaster.info.aol.com."

     ii.  To the extent Onvia creates customized pages on the Co-Branded Site
     for AOL Members, Onvia will develop and employ a methodology to detect AOL
     Members (e.g. examine the HTTP

                                      40

     User-Agent field in order to identify the "AOL Member-Agents" listed at:
     "http://webmaster. info.aol.com)."

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

     iv.  Onvia 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.
     Onvia 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
     Co-Branded Site ("New Functionality"), Onvia will use commercially
     reasonable efforts to (i) test the New Functionality to confirm its
     compatibility with AOL Service browser/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; provided that if Onvia's notice specifies a commercially
     reasonable amount of time in which to perform such tests and AOL fails to
     do so within the specified time, then Onvia shall have the right to release
     the New Functionality provided that it is in compliance with the other
     requirements hereof. Should any new material, new functionality or features
     through the Co-Branded 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 is qualified for the AOL Service.

10.  AOL Internet Services Onvia Support.  AOL will provide Onvia with access to
the standard online resources, standards and guidelines documentation, technical
phone support, monitoring and after-hours assistance that AOL makes generally
available to similarly situated web-based partners.  AOL support will not, in
any case, be involved with content creation on behalf of Onvia or support for
any technologies, databases, software or other applications which are not
supported by AOL or are related to any Onvia  area other than the Co-Branded
Site.  Support to be provided by AOL is contingent on Onvia providing to AOL
demo account information (where applicable), a detailed description of the Co-
Branded Site's software, hardware and network architecture and access to the Co-
Branded Site for purposes of such performance and load testing as AOL elects to
conduct.

                  Standard Online Commerce Terms & Conditions
                  -------------------------------------------

1.   AOL Network Distribution.  Onvia will not authorize or permit any third
party to distribute or promote the Products or any Onvia Interactive Site other
than the Co-Branded Site through the AOL Network absent AOL's prior written
approval. The Promotions and any other promotions or advertisements purchased
from or provided by AOL will link only to the Co-Branded Site, will be used by
Onvia solely for its own benefit and will not be resold, traded, exchanged,
bartered, brokered or otherwise offered to any third party.

2.   Provision of Other Content.  In the event that AOL notifies Onvia that (i)
as reasonably determined by AOL, any Content within the Co-Branded Site violates
AOL's then-standard Terms of Service (as set forth on the America Online brand
service at Keyword term "TOS"), for the AOL Service or any other AOL property
through which the Co-Branded Site is promoted, the terms of this Agreement or
any other standard, written AOL policy or (ii) AOL reasonably objects to the
inclusion of any Content within the Co-Branded Site (provided, however, that any
specific items of Content (e.g., Products) which are expressly identified in
this Agreement as provided by Onvia (e.g., as listed in Exhibits A-1 and D) may
not be objected to by AOL pursuant to this section if such Content otherwise
complies with the terms of this Agreement), then Onvia will take commercially
reasonable steps to block access by AOL Users to such Content using Onvia's
then-available technology. In the event that Onvia cannot, through its
commercially reasonable efforts, block access by AOL Users to the Content in
question, then Onvia 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. Onvia will use commercially
reasonable best efforts to cooperate with AOL's reasonable requests to the
extent AOL elects to implement any such access restrictions.

3.   Contests.  Onvia will take all steps necessary to ensure that any contest,
sweepstakes or similar promotion conducted or promoted through the Co-Branded
Site (a "Contest") complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws
and regulations.

4.   Navigation.  AOL will be entitled to establish navigational icons, links
and pointers connecting the Co-Branded Site (or portions thereof) with other
content areas on or outside of the AOL Network (e.g., as set forth in Section
2.1 of the main body of this Agreement). Additionally, in cases where an AOL
User performs a search for Onvia through any search or navigational tool or
mechanism that is accessible or available through the AOL Network (e.g.,
Promotions, Keyword Search Terms, or any other promotions or navigational
tools), AOL shall have the right to direct such AOL User to the Co-Branded Site,
or the Standard Site determined by AOL in its reasonable discretion.

5.   Disclaimers.  Upon AOL's request, Onvia agrees to include within the Co-
Branded Site a product disclaimer (the specific form and substance to be
mutually agreed upon by the Parties) indicating that transactions are solely
between Onvia and AOL Users purchasing Products from Onvia.

6.   AOL Look and Feel.  Onvia acknowledges and agrees that AOL will own all
right, title and interest in and to the elements of graphics, design,
organization, presentation, layout, user interface, navigation and stylistic
convention (including the digital implementations thereof) which are generally
associated with online areas contained within the AOL Network, subject to
Onvia's ownership or other rights in any of Onvia trademarks or copyrighted
material within the Co-Branded Site or the Licensed Content.

7.   Management of the Co-Branded Site.  Onvia will manage, review, delete,
edit, create, update and otherwise manage all Content available on or through
the Co-Branded Site, in a timely and professional manner and in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Onvia will use commercially reasonable best efforts
to ensure that the Co-Branded Site is current, accurate and well-organized at
all times. Onvia warrants that the Products and other Licensed Content : (i)
will not infringe on or violate any copyright, trademark, U.S. patent or any
other third party right, including without limitation, any music performance or
other music-related rights; (ii) will not violate AOL's then-applicable Terms of
Service for the AOL Service and any other AOL property through which the Co-
Branded Site will be promoted or any other standard, written AOL policy which
has been delivered to Onvia; and (iii) will not violate any applicable law or
regulation, including those relating to contests, sweepstakes or similar
promotions. Additionally, Onvia 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. Onvia also warrants that a reasonable basis exists for all Product
performance or comparison claims appearing through the Co-Branded Site. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Onvia shall not in any manner,
including, without limitation in any Promotion, the Licensed Content or the
Promotional Materials state or imply that AOL recommends or endorses Onvia or
Onvia's Products (e.g., no statements that Onvia 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 Co-Branded Site, including,
but not limited to, any duty to review or monitor any such Products.

8.   Duty to Inform.  Onvia will promptly inform AOL of any information related
to the Co-Branded Site which could reasonably lead to a material claim, demand,
or liability of or against AOL and/or its affiliates by any third party.

9.   Customer Service.  It is the sole responsibility of Onvia to provide
customer service to persons or entities purchasing Products through the Co-
Branded Site or Standard Site ("Customers"). Onvia will bear

                                      42

full responsibility for all customer service, including without limitation,
order processing, billing, fulfillment, shipment, collection and other customer
service associated with any Products offered, sold or licensed through the Co-
Branded Site, and AOL will have no obligations whatsoever with respect thereto.
Onvia will receive all emails from Customers via a computer available to Onvia's
customer service staff and generally respond to such emails within one business
day of receipt. Onvia will receive all orders electronically and generally
process all orders within one business day of receipt, provided Products ordered
are not advance order items. Onvia will ensure that all orders of Products are
received, processed, fulfilled and delivered on a timely and professional basis.
Onvia will offer AOL Users who purchase Products through such Co-Branded Site a
satisfaction guarantee. Onvia 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. Onvia will also comply
with the requirements of any federal, state or local consumer protection or
disclosure law. Payment for Products will be collected by Onvia directly from
customers. Onvia's order fulfillment operation will be subject to AOL's
reasonable review.

10.  Production Work.  In the event that Onvia requests AOL's additional
production assistance (other than as expressly set forth herein) in connection
with (i) ongoing programming and maintenance related to the Co-Branded Site,
(ii) a redesign of or addition to the Co-Branded 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, Onvia 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 Onvia 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 Onvia 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 Onvia will be
as determined by AOL in its sole discretion. 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 Co-Branded Site ("Routine Services"), Onvia will pay the
then-standard fees charged by AOL for such Routine Services.

11.  Overhead Accounts.   To the extent AOL has granted Onvia any overhead
accounts on the AOL Service, Onvia 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 Onvia, but
Onvia 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 Co-
Branded Site shall be (i) subject to availability for use by Onvia and (ii)
limited to the combination of the Keyword search modifier combined with a
registered trademark of Onvia (e.g. "AOL keyword: XYZ Company Name"). AOL
reserves the right to revoke at any time Onvia's use of any Keyword Search Terms
which do not incorporate registered trademarks of Onvia. Onvia 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 Onvia holds in Onvia's registered
trademark independent of the Keyword Search Term. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Onvia 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 Co-Branded Site, such bookmarks will
be subject to AOL's control at all times. Upon the termination of this
Agreement, Onvia's rights to any Keyword Search Terms and bookmarking will
terminate.

13.  Merchant Certification Program.  Onvia will participate in any generally
applicable "Certified Merchant" program operated by AOL or its authorized agents
or contractors. Such program may require merchant participants on an ongoing
basis to meet certain reasonable, generally applicable standards relating to
provision of electronic commerce through the AOL Network (including, as a
minimum, use of 40-bit SSL encryption and if requested by AOL, 128-bit
encryption) and may also require the payment of certain reasonable certification
fees to the applicable entity operating the program. Each Certified Merchant in
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.

14.  Reward Programs.  On the Co-Branded Site, Onvia shall not offer, provide,
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 Onvia or any third party (e.g., a promotional program
similar to a "frequent flier" program), unless such promotional program or plan
is provided exclusively through AOL's "AOL Rewards" program, accessible on the
AOL Service at Keyword: "AOL Rewards." Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Co-
Branded Site Onvia may

have its own loyalty program for discounts on products and services. In such
event, Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to also use AOL's rewards
program.

15.  Search Terms.  To the extent this Agreement sets forth any mechanism by
which the Co-Branded Site will be promoted in connection with specified search
terms within any AOL product or service, Onvia hereby represents and warrants
that Onvia has all consents, authorizations, approvals, licenses, permits or
other rights necessary for Onvia to use such specified search terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, AOL shall have the right to suspend the use of
any search term if AOL has a reasonable belief that continued use may subject
AOL to liability or other adverse consequences.

the main body of this Agreement (relating to Press Releases), each Party will
submit to the other Party, for its prior written approval, which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, any marketing, advertising, or other
promotional materials (excluding Press Releases) related to the Co-Branded 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 Co-Branded 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 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 Co-Branded Site and the content contained therein and reused for such
purpose until such approval is withdrawn with reasonable prior notice.  In the
event such approval is withdrawn, existing inventories of Promotional Materials
may be depleted.

2.  License.  Onvia hereby grants AOL a non-exclusive worldwide license to
market, license, distribute, reproduce, display, perform, transmit and promote
(but not to sublicense or reverse engineer any software) the Licensed Content
(or any portion thereof, except the source code of any software) through such
areas or features of the AOL Network as AOL deems appropriate.  Onvia
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing license permits AOL to distribute
portions of the Licensed Content in synchronism or timed relation with visual
displays prepared by Onvia or AOL (e.g., as part of an AOL "slideshow").  In
addition, AOL Users will have the right to access and use the Co-Branded Site.
Onvia reserves any rights not expressly granted to AOL hereunder.

3.  Trademark License. In designing and implementing the Materials and subject
to the other provisions contained herein, Onvia will be entitled to use the
following trade names, trademarks, and service marks of AOL:  the "America
Online" brand service, "AOL" service/software and AOL's triangle logo; and AOL
and its affiliates will be entitled to use the trade names, trademarks, and
service marks of Onvia for which Onvia 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.

5.  Quality Standards.  Each Party agrees that the nature and quality of its
products and services supplied in connection with the other Party's Marks will
conform to reasonable quality standards set by the other Party.  Each Party
agrees to supply the other Party, upon reasonable request, with a reasonable
number of samples of any Materials publicly disseminated by such Party which
utilize the other Party's Marks.  Each Party will comply with all applicable
laws, regulations, and customs and obtain any required government approvals
pertaining to use of the other Party's marks.

6.  Infringement Proceedings.  Each Party agrees to promptly notify the other
Party of any unauthorized use of the other Party's Marks of which it has actual
knowledge.  Each Party will have the sole right and discretion to bring
proceedings alleging infringement of its Marks or unfair competition related
thereto; provided, however, that each Party agrees to provide the other Party
with its reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to any such
infringement proceedings.

7.  Representations and Warranties.  Each Party represents and warrants to the
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
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party,
enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms; and (iv) such Party
acknowledges that the other Party makes no representations, warranties or
agreements related to the subject matter hereof that are not expressly provided
for in this Agreement. Onvia hereby represents and warrants that it possesses
all authorizations,

approvals, consents, licenses, permits, certificates or other rights and
permissions necessary to sell the Products.

8.  Confidentiality.  Each Party acknowledges that Confidential Information may
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 own proprietary information, during the term
of this Agreement, and for a period of three years following expiration or
termination of this Agreement, to prevent the duplication or disclosure of
Confidential Information of the other Party, other than by or to its employees
or agents who must have access to such Confidential Information to perform such
Party's obligations hereunder, who will each agree to comply with this section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may issue a press release or other
disclosure containing Confidential Information without the consent of the other
Party, to the extent such disclosure is required by law, rule, regulation or
government or court order.  In such event, the disclosing Party will provide at
least five (5) business days prior written notice of such proposed disclosure to
the other Party.  Further, in the event such disclosure is required of either
Party under the laws, rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other applicable governing body, such Party will (i) redact
mutually agreed-upon portions of this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted
under applicable laws, rules and regulations and (ii) submit a request to such
governing body that such portions and other provisions of this Agreement receive
confidential treatment under the laws, rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission or otherwise be held in the strictest confidence to the
fullest extent permitted under the laws, rules or regulations of any other
applicable governing body.

9.  Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer; Indemnification.

9.1  Liability.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
PARTY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
(EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES),
ARISING FROM BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT, THE SALE OF PRODUCTS, THE USE OR INABILITY
TO USE THE AOL NETWORK, THE AOL SERVICE, AOL.COM OR THE CO-BRANDED SITE, OR
ARISING FROM ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS (COLLECTIVELY,
"DISCLAIMED DAMAGES"); PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTY WILL REMAIN LIABLE TO THE OTHER
PARTY TO THE EXTENT ANY DISCLAIMED DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED BY A THIRD PARTY AND ARE
SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.3. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 9.3 OF THIS EXHIBIT G OR SECTION 5.7 OF THE MAIN BODY OF THIS AGREEMENT,
(I) LIABILITY ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT,
OBJECTIVELY MEASURABLE DAMAGES, AND (II) THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF ONE PARTY TO
THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF FIXED GUARANTEED PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OWED BY
ONVIA HEREUNDER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OCCURS;
PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTY WILL REMAIN LIABLE FOR THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ANY
PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OWED TO THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT.

9.2  No Additional Warranties.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,
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 OR THE CO-BRANDED SITE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AOL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY REGARDING
THE PROFITABILITY OF THE CO-BRANDED SITE.

9.3  Indemnity.  Either Party will defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless the
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,
at its own expense, and by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, with the Indemnifying Party

and its counsel in the defense and the Indemnified Party will have the right to
participate fully, at its own expense, in the defense of such Action. If the
Indemnifying Party responds within the required ten (10) day period and elects
not to defend such Action, the Indemnified Party will be free, without prejudice
to any of the Indemnified Party's rights hereunder, to compromise or defend (and
control the defense of) such Action. In such case, the Indemnifying Party will
cooperate, at its own expense, with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in the
defense against such Action and the Indemnifying Party will have the right to
participate fully, at its own expense, in the defense of such Action. Any
compromise or settlement of an Action will require the prior written consent of
both Parties hereunder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10.  Acknowledgment.  AOL and Onvia 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
eighteen month period thereafter, Onvia 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, Onvia 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 Onvia or (ii) provided information to Onvia 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 Onvia 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 Onvia, 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), subject to
paragraph 12, clause (b)(i), of this Exhibit G.   Any e-mail or other online
communications permitted under this paragraph may inform AOL Users of areas
within the Co-Branded Site which may be of interest to them, in order to provide
for a better user experience.

12.  AOL User Communications.  To the extent that Onvia is permitted to
communicate with AOL Users under this Exhibit G, in any such communications to
AOL Users on or off the Co-Branded Site (including, without limitation, e-mail
solicitations), Onvia will not encourage AOL Users who have visited the Co-
Branded Site during the Term (but excluding such AOL Users who have transacted
with Onvia prior to the Term) to take any action inconsistent with the scope and
purpose of this Agreement.  Further, Onvia shall not encourage AOL Users to (i)
bookmark Interactive Sites, or (ii) change the default home page on the AOL
browser.  Further still Onvia shall not encourage AOL Users who have visited the
Co-Branded Site during the Term (but excluding such AOL Users who have
transacted with Onvia prior to the Term), to (a) use any Interactive Site other
than the Co-Branded Site for the purchase of Products, or (b) use Content other
than the Licensed Content.  Additionally, with respect to such AOL User
communications, in the event that Onvia encourages an AOL User to purchase
products through such communications, Onvia shall ensure that, during the Term,
(x) the AOL Network is promoted as the primary means through which the AOL User
can access the Co-Branded Site and (y) any link to the Co-Branded 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.  Onvia 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 Co-Branded Site,
Onvia'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 Onvia's collection, use and disclosure of user information).
Onvia will not disclose User Information collected hereunder to any third party
in a manner that identifies AOL Users as end users of an AOL product or service
or use Member Information collected under this Agreement to market another
Interactive Service.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) if
end users are required to register to access certain features within the Co-
Branded Site (including the Co-Branded Site Buying Directory), or the AOL Buying
Directory, the Parties will use commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure
that such registration processes will be seamlessly integrated with Netscape's
"Universal Registration" or AOL's "SNAP" system (or such other registration
system developed by AOL) and be consistent with the respective brand's then-
current privacy policy; (b) AOL will continue to own all end user data
previously owned by it which is passed on to Onvia via universal registration or
any other means in conjunction with the use of the Co-Branded Site and the AOL

Buying Directory, and (c) that in cases where a user registers or transacts for
Onvia's products and services on the Co-Branded Site, the User Information
collected therefrom will be jointly owned by AOL and Onvia, subject to any
express limitations herein.  AOL and Onvia may promote products and services to
the user base shared by them, provided that such promotions may not be for any
Interactive Service and may not be inconsistent with the scope and terms of this
Agreement.

14.  Excuse.  Neither Party will be liable for, or be considered in breach of or
default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as
required by this Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions which are
beyond such Party's reasonable control and which such Party is unable to
overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence.

15.  Independent Contractors.  The Parties to this Agreement are independent
contractors.  Neither Party is an agent, representative or employee of the other
Party.  Neither Party will have any right, power or authority to enter into any
agreement for or on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to
otherwise bind, the other Party.  This Agreement will not be interpreted or
construed to create an association, agency, joint venture or partnership between
the Parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a relationship upon
either Party.

16.  Notice.  Any notice, approval, request, authorization, direction or other
communication under this Agreement will be given in writing and will be deemed
to have been delivered and given for all purposes (i) on the delivery date if
delivered by electronic mail on the AOL Network (to screenname
"AOLNotice@AOL.com" in the case of AOL) or by confirmed facsimile; (ii) on the
delivery date if delivered personally to the Party to whom the same is directed;
(iii) one business day after deposit with a commercial overnight carrier, with
written verification of receipt; or (iv) five business days after the mailing
date, whether or not actually received, if sent by U.S. mail, return receipt
requested, postage and charges prepaid, or any other means of rapid mail
delivery for which a receipt is available.  In the case of AOL, such notice will
be provided to both the Senior Vice President for Business Affairs (fax no. 703-
265-1206) and the Deputy General Counsel (fax no. 703-265-1105), each at the
address of AOL set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.  In the case
of Onvia, except as otherwise specified herein, the notice address will be the
address for Onvia set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement, with the
other relevant notice information, including the recipient for notice and, as
applicable, such recipient's fax number or AOL e-mail address, to be as
reasonably identified by AOL.

17.  Launch Dates.  In the event that any terms contained herein relate to or
depend on the commercial launch date of the Co-Branded Site contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Launch Date"), then it is the intention of the Parties to record
such Launch Date in a written instrument signed by both Parties promptly
following such Launch Date; provided that, in the absence of such a written
instrument, the Launch Date will be as reasonably determined by AOL based on the
information available to AOL.

18.  No Waiver.  The failure of either Party to insist upon or enforce strict
performance by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise
any right under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment to any extent of such Party's right to assert or rely upon any
such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be
and remain in full force and effect.

19.  Return of Information.  Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, return
or destroy (at the option of the Party receiving the request) all Confidential
Information, documents, manuals and other materials specified the other Party.

20.  Survival.  Section 5.3 of the body of the Agreement, Sections 8 through 30
of this Exhibit, and any payment obligations accrued prior to termination or
expiration will survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation
of this Agreement.

21.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
supersedes any and all prior agreements of the Parties with respect to the
transactions set forth herein.  Neither Party will be bound by, and each Party
specifically objects to, any term, condition or other provision which is
different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or
not it would materially alter this Agreement) and which is proffered by the
other Party in any correspondence or other document, unless the Party to be
bound thereby specifically agrees to such provision in writing.

22.  Amendment.  No change, amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement will be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the
Party subject to enforcement of such amendment, and in the case of AOL, by an
executive of at least the same standing to the executive who signed the
Agreement.

23.  Further Assurances.  Each Party will take such action (including, but not
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.

24.  Assignment.  With the exception of (a) an assignment or succession of
interest relating solely to a change in jurisdiction of incorporation, or (b) of
a Change of Control (other than a Change of Control of Onvia to an Interactive
Service, which shall be governed by Section 5.6 of the main body of this
Agreement):  Onvia will not assign this Agreement or any right, interest or
benefit under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of AOL.  In
either instance, AOL's consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will
be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

25.  Construction; Severability.  In the event that any provision of this
Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed
or if any such provision is held invalid by a court with jurisdiction over the
Parties to this Agreement, (i) such provision will be deemed to be restated to
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.

26.  Remedies.  Except where otherwise specified, the rights and remedies
granted to a Party under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies which the Party may possess at law
or in equity; provided that, in connection with any dispute hereunder, Onvia
will be not entitled to offset any amounts that it claims to be due and payable
from AOL against amounts otherwise payable by Onvia to AOL.

27.  Applicable Law.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this
Agreement will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia except for its
conflicts of laws principles.

regulations and rules relating to the export of technical data and will not
export or re-export any technical data, any products received from the other
Party or the direct product of such technical data to any proscribed country
listed in such applicable laws, regulations and rules unless properly
authorized.

for convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one

Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or otherwise mutually
agreed by the Parties in writing, each distinct version of the Co-Branded Site
shall be designed as a "cul de sac" site containing no links outside of the Co-
Branded Site other than to (a) the applicable AOL business brand, (b) other AOL
or third party Content determined by AOL, or (c) advertisements permitted under
this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or as
otherwise mutually agreed, Onvia shall eliminate the use of "pop-up" windows,
screens and similar types of functionality in connection with the display of
advertising, promotions or sponsorships on the Co-Branded Site. Except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement, AOL shall have the right to change or
modify its generally applicable design guideline templates and co-branding
requirements during the Term, to conform to general changes made to the AOL
Network or portions thereof.   Such customization may, at AOL's discretion,
further include, without limitation:

          (i)       the inclusion of an AOL (or its applicable affiliated
               business brand, e.g., CompuServe) co-branded toolbar, running the
               full width of the page, at the top and bottom of each page of the
               Co-Branded Site, which, among other things, will provide
               navigation back to the AOL Network, and which shall contain an
               AOL search box (e.g., Netfind) and two (2) promotional spaces to
               be programmed by AOL (the parameters, specifications and format
               of which such toolbars are further displayed on the mock-up
               below);

          (ii)      various additional co-branding elements to be specified, as
               reasonably required for consistency throughout the AOL Network
               and throughout AOL's network of merchant partners in light of
               changes to or modifications of the AOL Network (or portions
               thereof) or AOL's design guideline templates or co-branding
               requirements during the Term; and

          (iii)     the creation of links in connection with communication
               services on the Co-Branded Site to the corresponding or
               equivalent communication services or areas of the Co-Branded Site
               of the appropriate AOL Property (e.g., chat from the Co-Branded
               Site of the AOL Service will link to the chat area on the AOL
               Service).

                                   EXHIBIT I
                 Third party integration schedule and standards

General:
As set forth in more detail in this Agreement (e.g., in Section 6.4 and Exhibit
A-1), AOL may require Onvia to integrate up to [* * *] additional of AOL's
selected merchant partners and their products and services into the AOL Buying
Directory per [* * *] (provided that the Parties initially shall cooperate to
integrate [* * *] such merchant partner as a [* * *]).

Schedule:
Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to integrate any third party as
reasonably requested by AOL (and to the extent consistent with the terms hereof,
e.g., with respect to such third party's data exchange standards) within [* * *]
of the date of such request, and in any event shall integrate any complying
third party within [* * *] of such request.  Onvia shall initially so integrate
(upon AOL's request) [* * *] (e.g., [* * *] engine, [* * *], or similar
functionality), as well as any other complying entities as set forth in more
detail under "Data Exchange" below.

Taxonomy:
Onvia and AOL will mutually agree upon an initial product category taxonomy,
using taxonomy in existence on the Standard Site as of the Effective Date as an
initial starting point, within [* * *] of the Effective Date, and shall
cooperate to update such taxonomy on a regular and consistent basis, as mutually
agreed.  Third parties will map from such third parties' proprietary taxonomy to
Onvia taxonomy prior to being integrated into the AOL Buying Directory.  Onvia
will extend taxonomy to incorporate additional items and product types not in
current taxonomy within a reasonable time frame.

Data Exchange:
Third parties which AOL wishes to have integrated into the AOL Buying Directory
shall (it being acknowledged and agreed that this is outside the control of AOL)
meet XML (eXtensible Markup Language), or any other mutually agreed standard
data exchange standards published by Onvia (and the Parties shall so mutually
agree on at least one standard prior to the completion of the AOL Buying
Directory); provided that, in the event they do not meet such standards, Onvia
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to integrate them based on other
reasonable and applicable standards.  Third parties also shall (it being
acknowledged and agreed that this is outside the control of AOL) maintain
appropriate XML (or other applicable) data quality standards as established
through generally applicable standard policy by Onvia; provided that, in the
event they do not meet such standards, Onvia shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to work with such party based on other reasonable and applicable
standards.  Third Parties will retain QA responsibility for all data transferred
for use in the AOL Buying Directory.  Any additional items and product types
will require expanded data to be provided to Onvia by third parties in formats
to be defined based on requirements.  Any data transmissions by third parties to
Onvia should be delivered via FTP and, if mutually agreed, shall meet currently
available compression and encryption standards; provided that, in each case, in
the event they do not meet such standards (FTP, or compression and encryption),
Onvia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with such party based on
other reasonable and applicable standards.

Merchant Data Ownership:
Onvia shall be entitled to use any information provided by AOL's merchant
partners in connection herewith only to the extent required for Onvia's
compliance with the terms hereof, and only during the Term.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, AOL (and not Onvia) shall own all data and
other information provided by AOL's merchant partners (including without
limitation, any product databases, product information, taxonomy, exchange
information and technology), whether or not used by Onvia during the Term,
subject to any applicable confidentiality provisions herein, and, at the end of
the Term, Onvia shall return any and all such AOL merchant information to AOL
and shall no longer retain any rights to use such AOL merchant information.

Aggregated RFQ Area), sell Advertisements to, or otherwise promote, any of the
entities listed on this Schedule 2.9 or added hereto from time to time in
