                                                    Dated as of January 20, 2000

                             Employment Agreement

     This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), is entered into as of January
20, 2000 , between Avenue A, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Avenue A"), and
Brian McAndrews ("Executive").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

     WHEREAS, Executive has been serving as Chief Executive Officer of Avenue A
pursuant to a letter agreement respecting Executive's employment and
compensation dated as of August 30, 1999. Avenue A and Executive desire to enter
into a formal employment agreement relating to Executive's employment by Avenue
A, including various changes or additions to the terms of the original letter
agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Executive is willing to provide services to Avenue A upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein;

                              A G R E E M E N T S:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are
hereby acknowledged, Avenue A and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.   EMPLOYMENT

     Avenue A will employ Executive and Executive will serve as the Chief
Executive Officer of Avenue A.  During Executive's employment, Executive shall
serve Avenue A faithfully and to the best of his ability, devoting substantially
all his working time, attention and energies to the business of Avenue A.
Executive's status, duties and responsibilities shall be reasonably commensurate
with his title, and he shall perform such duties as lawfully assigned to
Executive.  Executive shall not engage in any other business activity (except
the management of personal investments and participation in civic or charitable
activities which in the aggregate do not interfere with the performance of
Executive's duties hereunder) without first obtaining the written consent of
Avenue A, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

2.   COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS

     During his employment, Avenue A will pay Executive an annual salary of not
less than $300,000 paid semi-monthly.  In addition, Executive has been granted a
stock option to purchase 1,230,000 shares of the common stock of Avenue A at an
<PAGE>

exercise price of $1.90 per share, which option is subject to four-year vesting
and other conditions in accordance with the terms of the option letter agreement
evidencing such option and the terms of the Avenue A, Inc. 1998 Stock Incentive
Compensation Plan.  A portion of the option, for 210,526 shares, was structured
as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the remainder was structured as a
nonqualified stock option.  Upon the completion of the Company's initial public
offering of common stock (IPO), Executive will be granted a non-qualified stock
option for the purchase of an additional 176,000 shares of common stock (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and the like, occurring after
September 15, 1999 and prior to the consummation of the IPO) at an exercise
price equal to the IPO offering price (which shall not be adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends and the like prior to the IPO), vesting over a four-year
period in accordance with the terms of the Plan, with credit for vesting given
for the period between Executive's employment commencement date and the date of
completion of the IPO.

3.   BENEFITS AND RELOCATION COSTS

     During the term of his employment, Executive will be entitled to
participate in Avenue A's benefits made available to employees generally from
time to time, including, without limitation, health care benefits, 401k Savings
Plan, as well as other benefits, if any, as may be offered to Avenue A's senior
management employees.  Avenue A will pay reasonable expenses associated with
relocating Executive to Seattle.

4.   TERMINATION

     Employment of Executive pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated as
follows:

     4.1  By Avenue A

     With or without Cause (as defined below), Avenue A may terminate the
employment of Executive at any time upon giving Notice of Termination (as
defined below).

     4.2  By Executive

     Executive may terminate his employment at any time, for any reason, upon
giving Notice of Termination.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

     4.3  Automatic Termination

     This Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate
automatically upon the death or total disability of Executive.  The term "total
disability" as used herein shall mean Executive's inability to perform the
duties set forth in paragraph 1 hereof for a period or periods aggregating
ninety (90) calendar days in any 12-month period as a result of physical or
mental illness, loss of legal capacity or any other cause beyond Executive's
control, unless Executive is granted a leave of absence by the Board of
Directors of Avenue A.  Executive and Avenue A hereby acknowledge that
Executive's ability to perform the duties specified in paragraph 1 hereof is of
the essence of this Agreement.  Termination hereunder shall be deemed to be
effective (a) at the end of the calendar month in which Executive's death occurs
or (b) provided that an independent physician appointed by Avenue A and
reasonably acceptable to Executive or his personal representative (the
"Independent Physician") has determined in a written report made available to
Executive or his personal representative that Executive is unable to perform the
duties set forth in paragraph 1 hereof as a result of physical or mental
illness, loss of legal capacity or any other cause beyond Executive's control,
and such disability has been in effect for a period or periods aggregating
ninety (90) calendar days in a 12-month period, immediately upon notice to
Executive or his personal representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, "total
disability" shall not include any temporary illness or condition that prevents
Executive from performing his duties for a period of no more than 180 days if,
in the opinion of the Independent Physician, Executive is reasonably likely to
recover within 180 days or less from the onset of the illness or condition, such
that he can permanently resume performance of his duties.

     4.4  Notice

     The term "Notice of Termination" shall mean at least thirty (30) days'
written notice of termination, by either party, of Executive's employment,
during which period Executive's employment and performance of services will
continue; provided, however, that Avenue A may, upon notice to Executive and
without reducing Executive's compensation during such period, excuse Executive
from any or all of his duties during such period, and Executive shall be
entitled to all compensation and benefits during such period.  Such a reduction
in duties shall not constitute "good reason" for voluntary termination so as to
trigger termination payments in accordance with subparagraph 5.2.  The effective
date of the termination (the "Termination Date") of Executive's employment
hereunder shall be the date on which such 30-day period expires.

                                      -3-

5.   TERMINATION PAYMENTS AND ACCELERATION OF VESTING

     In the event of termination of the employment of Executive, all
compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as
specifically provided in this paragraph 5:

     5.1  Termination by Avenue A

     (a)  Upon termination by Avenue A, Avenue A shall pay Executive any unpaid
annual base salary which has accrued or is payable through the Termination Date,
together with any unpaid bonus compensation that Executive has earned in
accordance with the conditions set by the Board of Directors with respect to
such compensation.

     (b)  If Avenue A terminates Executive's employment without Cause, as
defined below, Executive shall be entitled to receive termination payments equal
to twelve (12) months annual base salary.  The termination payments shall be
calculated according to Executive's base salary as of the date of Notice of
Termination and the termination payments will be paid semi-monthly in equal
parts in accordance with the same time schedule that Avenue A or a Successor
Company (as defined in Exhibit A hereto and incorporated by reference herein)
makes its customary payroll.  Avenue A or a Successor Company may deduct
customary withholdings including social security, federal and state income
taxes, and state disability insurance from these severance payments; however,
any and all such obligations shall be Executive's responsibility.  Avenue A will
issue and file appropriate Form 1099 or similar tax documents in connection with
any termination payments.  The termination payments described in this paragraph
are expressly contingent upon Executive's signing upon termination a release in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and are further contingent upon
Executive's full compliance with the terms of his Confidentiality, Inventions
Assignment, Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement with Avenue A (the
"Confidentiality Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
In the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
Executive has engaged in any act or activity that represents a material breach
of this Confidentiality Agreement, Executive shall return to Avenue A (and any
Successor Company) the amount of severance payments made by Avenue A (and any
Successor Company) after the date of such breach.  Immediately upon learning of
such a breach, Avenue A may immediately cease any further payments otherwise due
under this Paragraph.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any breach alleged by Avenue A was not in fact or as a matter of
law a breach, Avenue A shall pay to Executive any severance amount so withheld
and reimburse Executive for his reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs
incurred in proving such non-breach.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     (c)  If Avenue A terminates Executive's employment without Cause, as
defined below, then (1) a portion, as is determined in accordance with the
following sentence, of any Avenue A stock option held by Executive immediately
prior to the Termination Date that is unvested shall automatically vest
immediately prior to the Termination Date (and in such case the shares
subsequently issued on exercise of such accelerated portion shall be vested),
and (2) a portion, as is determined in accordance with the following sentence,
of unvested shares, if any, issued to Executive on exercise of any Avenue A
stock options shall, immediately prior to the Termination Date, automatically
vest and be no longer subject to the right of repurchase in favor of  Avenue A.
The portion of any unvested stock options or unvested shares that shall vest in
accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be an amount equal to the portion
that would have vested during the one year period immediately following the
Termination Date (assuming, for purpose of determining the amount, that no
termination had occurred and Executive had continued Executive's employment with
Avenue A during that one year period).  If the one year anniversary of the
Termination Date falls in the middle of a quarter for option or share vesting
purposes, the vesting acceleration described above shall be pro rated for the
actual number of days between the beginning of such quarter and the one year
anniversary date.  To the extent of any inconsistency between (i) the terms
contained in this Agreement regarding acceleration of vesting of stock options
or of unvested shares granted to or held by Executive and (ii) general terms
regarding acceleration of vesting of stock options or of unvested shares
contained in any stock option plan of Avenue A under which any stock option held
by Executive is granted (a "Company Stock Option Plan") or any option letter
agreement for any stock option for Avenue A common stock granted to Executive
prior to or after the date of this Agreement (an "Option Agreement"), such
inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Executive.

     (d)  If Executive is terminated for Cause by Avenue A or a Successor
Company, Executive shall not be entitled to any termination payments or
accelerated vesting benefit, except that Executive's salary shall be continued
for three months after his Termination Date.

     5.2  Termination by Executive

     (a)  In the case of the termination of Executive's employment with Avenue A
by Executive for "good reason," as defined below, Executive shall be entitled to
the termination payments and accelerated vesting benefit as set forth in clauses
5.1(a), (b) and (c), above.  In the case of termination of Executive's
employment with Avenue A by Executive for any other reason, Executive shall not
be entitled to any termination payments or accelerated vesting benefit, except
that Executive's salary shall be continued for three months after Termination
Date.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     (b)  In the case of the termination of Executive's employment with a
Successor Company by Executive for "good reason," as defined below, Executive
shall be entitled to the termination payments as set forth in clauses 5.1(a) and
(b), above.  In addition, in such event 100% of Executive's unvested stock
options and 100% of Executive's unvested shares issued or issuable upon exercise
of Executive's stock options shall immediately vest upon Notice of Termination.
In the case of termination of Executive's employment with a Successor Company by
Executive for any other reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any
termination payments or accelerated vesting benefit, except that Executive's
salary shall be continued for three months after Termination Date.

     5.3  Termination by Successor Company

     In the case of the termination without Cause, as defined below, of
Executive's employment by a Successor Company within one year after a Change of
Control, as defined in Exhibit A, Executive shall be entitled to the termination
payments as set forth in clauses 5.1(a) and (b), above.  In addition, in such
event 100% of Executive's unvested stock options and 100% of Executive's
unvested shares issued or issuable upon exercise of Executive's stock options
shares shall immediately vest upon Notice of Termination.

     5.4  Termination as a Result of Death or Total Disability

     In the event of termination of Executive's employment pursuant to
subparagraph 4.3, Executive or his estate shall be paid the compensation set
forth in clause 5.1(a) and shall not be entitled to any of the benefits under
clauses 5.1(b) or 5.1(c), above.

     5.5  "Good Reason"

     "Good reason" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events,
without the consent of the Executive, after a "Change of Control" (as defined in
Exhibit A hereto and incorporated by reference herein:

          a)   a demotion or other material reduction in Executive's status or
               the nature of Executive's responsibilities; provided, however,
               that a change in the person or office to which Executive reports,
               without a corresponding reduction in duties, status and
               responsibilities, shall not constitute "good reason;"

          b)   a non-voluntary reduction in the Executive's annual base salary;

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

          c)   requirement by a Successor Company that the Executive relocate
               his principal place of employment to a location that is more than
               50 miles from the principal place of employment where Executive
               was employed immediately prior to the "Change of Control;" or

          d)   the failure of Avenue A to obtain a satisfactory agreement from
               any Successor Company to assume and perform the obligations under
               this Agreement.

     5.6  Cause

     Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to termination being with or
without Cause, "Cause" shall include, without limitation, the occurrence of one
or more of the following events:

          (a)  willful misconduct, insubordination, or dishonesty in the
     performance of Executive's duties or other knowing and material violation
     of Avenue A's or a Successor Company's policies and procedures in effect
     from time to time which results in a material adverse effect on Avenue A or
     a Successor Company;

          (b)  willful actions (or intentional failures to act) in bad faith
     with respect to Avenue A or a Successor Company that materially impair
     Avenue A's or a Successor Company's business, goodwill or reputation;

          (c)  conviction of a felony involving an act of dishonesty, moral
     turpitude, deceit or fraud, or the commission of acts that could reasonably
     be expected to result in such a conviction;

          (d)  current use by the Executive of illegal substances; or

          (e)  any material willful violation of your Confidentiality Agreement
     with Avenue A.

     5.7  Acceleration in the Event of a Change in Control

     In the event Executive is employed by Avenue A immediately prior to the
date  of a "Change in Control" (as defined in Exhibit A hereto and incorporated
by reference herein), then immediately prior to the Change in Control 50% of
Executive's then unvested stock options and 50% of Executive's then unvested
shares issued  upon exercise of Executive's stock options shall immediately vest
(and in such case the shares subsequently issued on exercise of such accelerated
portion of Executive's option shall be vested); provided further that such
vesting options and shares shall be

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

allotted proportionately from Executive's vesting schedule, i.e., 50% of the
options and shares scheduled to vest on each vesting date shall accelerate. To
the extent of any inconsistency between (i) the terms contained in this
Agreement regarding acceleration of vesting of stock options or of unvested
shares granted to or held by Executive and (ii) general terms regarding
acceleration of vesting of stock options or of unvested shares contained in any
Company Stock Option Plan or any Option Agreement, such inconsistency shall be
resolved in favor of Executive.

6.   CONFIDENTIALITY, NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION AGREEMENT

     Executive is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement entered
into concurrently with this Agreement and the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive's employment with Avenue A.

7.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; NO VIOLATION

     In order to induce Avenue A to enter into this Agreement, Executive
represents and warrants to Avenue A that neither the execution nor the
performance of this Agreement by Executive will violate or conflict in any way
with any other agreement by which Executive may be bound, or with any other
duties imposed upon Executive by corporate or other statutory or common law.

8.   NOTICE AND CURE OF BREACH

     Whenever a breach of this Agreement by either party is relied upon as
justification for any action taken by the other party pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement, other than pursuant to the definition of "Cause" set forth in
subparagraph 5.4 hereof, before such action is taken, the party asserting the
breach of this Agreement shall give the other party at least 14 days' prior
written notice of the existence and the nature of such breach before taking
further action hereunder and shall give the party purportedly in breach of this
Agreement the opportunity to correct such breach during the 14-day period.

voting power of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of

5.       Representations and Warranties.

  5.1 Warranties by Customer.

  (a) Customer Equipment. Customer represents and warrants that its owns or has
the legal right and authority, and will continue to own or maintain the legal
right and authority during the term of this Agreement, to place and use the
Customer Equipment as contemplated by this Agreement. Customer further
represents and warrants that its placement, arrangement, and use of the Customer
Equipment in the Internet Data Centers complies with the Customer Equipment
Manufacturer's environmental and other specifications.

  (b) Customer's Business. Customer represents and warrants that Customer's
services, products, materials, data, information and Customer Equipment used by
Customer in connection with this Agreement as well as Customer's and its
permitted customer's and users' use of the Internet Data Center Services
(collectively, "Customer's Business") does not as of the Installation Date, and
will not during the term of this Agreement operate in any manner that would
violate any applicable law or regulation.

         (c) Rules and Regulations. Customer had read the Rules and Regulations
and represents and warrants that Customer and Customer's Business are currently
in full compliance with the Rules and Regulations, and will remain so at all
times during the term of this Agreement.

         (d) Breach of Warranties. In the event of any breach, or reasonably
anticipated breach, of any of the foregoing warranties, in addition to any other
remedies available at law or in equity, Exodus will have the right immediately,
in Exodus' sole discretion, to suspend any related Internet Data Center Services
if deemed reasonably necessary by Exodus to prevent any harm to Exodus and its
business.

  5.2 Warranties and Disclaimers by Exodus

  5.2(a) Service Level Warranty. In the event Customer experiences any of the
following and Exodus determines in its reasonable judgment that such inability
was caused by Exodus' failure to provide Internet Data Center Services for
reasons within

                                     PAGE 1
<PAGE>

Exodus' reasonable control and not as a result of any actions or
interactions of Customer or any third parties (including Customer Equipment and
third party equipment), Exodus will, upon Customer's request in accordance with
paragraph (iii) below, credit Customer's account as described below:

  (i) Inability to Access the Internet (Downtime). If Customer is unable to
transmit and receive information from Exodus' Internet Data Centers (i.e.,
Exodus' LAN and WAN) to other portions of the internet because Exodus failed to
provide the Internet Data Center Services for more than fifteen (15) consecutive
minutes, Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rate connectivity charges
(i.e., all bandwidth related charges) for one (1) day of service, up to an
aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7) days of service
in any one calendar (1) month. Exodus' scheduled maintenance of the Internet
Data Centers and Internet Data Center Services, as described in the Rules and
Regulations, shall not be deemed to be a failure of Exodus to provide Internet
Data Center Services. For purposes of the foregoing, "unable to transmit and
receive" shall mean sustained packet loss in excess of 50% based on Exodus'
measurements.

  (ii) Packet Loss and latency: Exodus does not proactively monitor the packet
loss or transmission latency of specific customers. Exodus does, however,
proactively monitor the aggregate packet loss and transmission latency within
its LAN and WAN. In the event that Exodus discovers (either from its own efforts
or after being notified by Customer) that customer is experiencing packet loss
in excess of one percent (1%) ("Excess Packet Loss") or transmission latency in
excess of 120 milliseconds round trip time (based on Exodus' measurements)
between any two Internet Data Centers within Exodus' U.S. network (collectively,
"Excess Latency", and with Excess Packet Loss "Excess Packet Loss/Latency"), and
Customer notifies Exodus (or confirms that Exodus has notified Customer), Exodus
will take all actions necessary to determine the source of the Excess Packet
Loss/latency.

       (A)  Time to Discover Source of Excess Packet Loss/Latency: Notification
of Customer. Within two (2) hours of discovering the existence of Excess Packet
Loss Latency, Exodus will determine whether the source of the Excess Packet
Loss/latency is limited to the Customer Equipment and the Exodus equipment
connecting the Customer Equipment to Exodus' LAN ("Customer Specific Packet
Loss/Latency"). If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is not a Customer Specific
Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine the source of the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency within two (2) hours after determining that it is not a Customer
Specific Packet Loss/Latency. In any event, Exodus will notify Customer of the
source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within sixty (60) minutes after
identifying the source.

       (B)  Remedy of Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency remedy is within the sole control of Exodus, Exodus will remedy the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours of determining the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is caused from
outside of the Exodus LAN or WAN, Exodus will notify Customer and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party(ies) responsible for the
source and cooperate with it (them) to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

       (C)  Failure to Determine Source and/or Resolve Problem. In the event
that Exodus is unable to determine the source of and remedy the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency within the time periods described above (where Exodus was solely in
control of the source), Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rata
connectivity charges for one (1) day of service for every two (2) hours after
the time periods described above that it takes Exodus to resolve the problem, up
to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7) days of
service in any one (1) month.

  (iii) Customer Must Request Credit. To receive any of the credits described in
this section 5.2(a), Customer must notify Exodus within three (3) business days
from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a credit. Failure to comply
with this requirement will forfeit Customer's right to receive a credit.

  (iv) Remedies Shall Not Be Cumulative: Maximum Credit: In the event that
Customer is entitled to multiple credits hereunder arising from the same event,
such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive
only the maximum single credit available for such event. In no event will Exodus
be required to credit Customer in any one (1) calendar month connectivity
charges in excess of seven (7) days of service. A credit shall be applied only
to the month in which there was the incident that resulted in the credit.
Customer shall not be eligible to receive any credits for periods in which
Customer received any Internet Data Center Services free of charge.

  (v) Termination Option for Chronic Problems. If, in any single calendar month,
Customer would be able to receive credits totaling fifteen (15) or more days
(but for the limitation in paragraph (iv) above resulting from three (3) or more
events during such calendar month or, if any single event entitling customer to
credits under paragraph 5.2(a)(i) exists for a period of eight (8) consecutive
hours, then, Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause and without penalty
by notifying Exodus within five (5) days following the end of such calendar
month. Such termination will be effective thirty (3) days after receipt of such
notice by Exodus.

  This Warranty does not apply to any Internet Data Center Services that
expressly exclude this warranty (as described in the specification sheets for
such products). This section 5.2(a) states customer's sole and exclusive remedy
for any FAILURES by Exodus to provide Internet Data Center Services.

  (b) No Other Warranty. Except for the express warranty set out in subsection
(a) above, the Internet Data Center Services are provided on an "as is" basis,
and Customer's use of the Internet Data Center Services is at its own risk.
Exodus does not make, and hereby disclaims, any and all other express and/or
implied warranties, INCLUDING, but not limited to, warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement and title,
and any warranties arising from a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.
exodus does not warrant that the Internet Data Center Services will be
uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.

  (c) Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third Parties.
Exodus does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from Exodus' Internet
Data Centers and other portions of the internet. Such flow depends in large part
on the performance of internet services provided or controlled by third parties.
At times, actions or inactions caused by these third PARTIES can produce
situations in which Exodus' customers' connections to the Internet (or portions
THEREOF) may be Impaired or Disrupted. Although Exodus will use commercially
reasonable efforts to take actions it deems appropriate t remedy and avoid such
events, Exodus cannot guarantee that they will not occur. Accordingly, Exodus
disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events.

6.       Limitations of Liability.

  6.1 Personal Injury. Each representative and any other persons visiting the
Internet Data Centers does so at its own risk and Exodus assumes no liability
whatsoever for any harm to such persons resulting from any cause other than
Exodus' negligence or willful misconduct resulting in personal injury to such
persons during such a visit.

  6.2 Damage to Customer Equipment or Business. Exodus assumes no liability for
any damage to, or loss relating to, Customer's Business resulting from any cause
whatsoever. Certain Customer Equipment, including but not limited to Customer
Equipment located on CyberRacks, may be directly ACCESSIBLE by OTHER customers.
Exodus assumes no liability for any damage to, or loss of, any Customer
Equipment resulting from any cause other than Exodus' gross negligence or
willful misconduct. To the extent Exodus is liable for any damage to, or loss
of, the Customer Equipment for any reason, such liability will be limited solely
to the then-current value to the Customer Equipment.

  6.3 Exclusions. Except as SPECIFIED in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, in no event will
Exodus be liable to Customer, any Representative, or any THIRD party for any
claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, Customer Equipment,
Customer's Business or otherwise, and any lost revenue, lost profits,
replacement goods, loss of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive,
indirect or consequential damages, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use
of service or of any Customer Equipment or Customer's Business, even if advised
of the possibility of such damages, whether under theory of contract, tort
(including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

  6.4 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Exodus's maximum aggregate liability to Customer RELATED to or in
connection with this Agreement will be limited to the total amount paid by
Customer to Exodus hereunder for the prior twelve (12) month period.

  6.5 Customer's Insurance. Customer agrees that it will not pursue any claims
against Exodus for any liability Exodus may have under or relating to this
Agreement until Customer first makes claims against Customer's insurance
provider(s) and such insurance provider(s) finally resolve(s) such claims.

  6.6 Basis of the Bargain: Failure of Essential Purpose. Customer acknowledges
that Exodus has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon
the limitations of liability and the disclaimers of warranties and damages set
forth herein, and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between
the parties. The parties agree that the limitations and exclusions of liability
and disclaimers specified in this Agreement will survive and apply even if found
to have failed of their essential purpose.

7.       Indemnification.

  7.1 Exodus' Indemnification of Customer. Exodus will indemnify, defend and
hold Customer harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses,

any third party registered U.S. copyright or issued U.S. patent resulting from
the provision of Internet Data Center Services pursuant to this Agreement (but
excluding any infringement contributorily caused by Customer's Business or
Customer Equipment) and (ii) personal injury to Customer's Representatives from
Exodus's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

  7.2 Customer's Indemnification of Exodus. Customer will indemnify, defend and
hold Exodus, its affiliates and customers harmless from and against any and all
Losses resulting from or arising out of any Action brought by or against Exodus,
its affiliates or customers alleging: (a) with respect to the Customer's
Business: (i) infringement or misappropriate of any intellectual property

conflicts of law) and specifically excluding from application to this Agreement
that law known as the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of
Goods. Any dispute relating to the terms, interpretation or performance of this

pre-judgment remedies) will be resolved at the request of either party through

arbitrator possessing knowledge of online services agreements: however the
arbitration will proceed even if such a person in unavailable. In the event any
provision of this Agreement is held by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to
be contrary to the law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement
will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not
act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party.

its duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior
written consent of Exodus, except that Customer may assign this Agreement in
whole as part of a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale of

such consent will be void. Exodus may assign this Agreement in whole or part.
This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's successors and
permitted assigns. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given
hereunder may be delivered by hand, deposited with an overnight courier, sent by
confirmed facsimile, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, in each case to the address of the receiving party
indicated on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as may
hereafter be furnished in writing by either party hereto to the other. Such
notice will be deemed to have been given as of the date it is delivered, mailed
or sent, whichever is earlier.

       9.8 Relationship of parties. Exodus and Customer are independent
contractors and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of
partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between Exodus and
Customer. Neither Exodus nor Customer will have the power to bind the other or
incur obligations on the other's behalf without the other's prior written
consent, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

       9.9 Entire Agreement: Counterparts. This Agreement, including all
documents incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the complete and
exclusive agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous
discussions, negotiations, understandings and agreements, written and oral,
regarding such subject matter. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

all documents incorporated therein and agree and accept such terms effective as
of the date first above written.
