1.   Term And Termination.

1.1  This Agreement will begin on the Agreement Date and end one year from the
Program Launch ("Term").  The Agreement will automatically renew for additional
one-year periods ("Additional Terms") unless terminated in writing by either
party before 90 days prior to the end of the Term or Additional Terms.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Merchant may terminate
any Optional BFAST Service upon 60 days written notice to Be Free.  Sections
1.1, 2.1, 3.3, 4..1, 4.2, 5, 6, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive any
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

1.2  Provided that a party is not in default of any payment or other material
breach, that party may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice (the
"Notice Period") upon any material breach or default of a provision of this
Agreement by the other party.  Any termination under this section shall become
effective at the end of the Notice Period unless the party in violation cures
the material breach or default, or has commenced reasonable efforts to cure the
breach or default within such period.

2.   Be Free Obligations.

2.1  Be Free represents and warrants that (a) all software provided hereunder is
free from material defects; shall perform in accordance with it's documentation;
is free of any viruses, trojan horses, trap doors, Easter eggs, worms time

interfere with intercept or expropriate any system, data or information of
Merchant or its Affiliates; and will not be adversely affected by the advent of
the Year 2000 date change; (b) all services provided hereunder shall, in all
material respects, be performed in a professional manner and in accordance with

Clickthrough requests at a rate not greater than the expected peak request rate
with a first-byte latency of less than ninety-five hundredths (0.95) of a

"Performance Obligation").  Due to the complexity of the Internet, the
variability of user hardware and software capabilities and the provision of
services to End Users by various providers, Be Free does not guarantee end-to-
end response times or transmission rates.  Should Be Free fail to provide
services in accordance with the Performance Obligation for greater than 60
consecutive minutes during any calendar day, Be Free shall discount BFAST

of the Performance Obligation shall be failure to meet those obligations for 72

Service Bureau; and (b) provide Be Free, not less than once each business day,

File").  The Catalog and Transaction Files shall be formatted in accordance with

3.2  Merchant shall, upon written request and during normal business hours (but
not more frequently than once each calendar year), provide access to accounting
records to an independent accounting firm chosen by Be Free for purposes of an
audit.  Such accounting firm shall be required to sign an agreement protecting
Merchant's confidential information and shall only be authorized to report on
the accuracy of the Merchant's Transaction File for the period requested.  Be
Free shall bear the costs of the audit unless it is determined by the auditor
that there was an error in the Transaction File resulting in a 5% or greater
underpayment of BFAST Service Fees in any calendar quarter period.  In such
event, Merchant shall bear the reasonable costs of the audit for the period
requested.

3.3  Unless otherwise specified, Merchant shall pay Be Free's invoices within 30
days of the invoice date. Merchant shall be responsible for all taxes (except
any income taxes of Be Free) related to the transactions contemplated hereunder.

proprietary right, provided that Merchant (a) promptly notifies Be Free in

party's violation of any privacy rights of a third party; and (b) any claim by
the indemnifying party's employees, agents, and consultants related to this
agreement (except to the extent the result of the indemnified party's breach of
this agreement, negligence or willful misconduct); provided that the indemnified
party (i) promptly notifies the indemnifying party in writing of any such claim;
(ii) gives the indemnifying party full control of the defense and settlement of
any such claim; and (iii) cooperates with the indemnifying party, at the
indemnifying party's expense, in defending or settling such claims.

5.   Ownership.

5.1  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each party shall be
the sole and exclusive owner of its intellectual property which includes,
without limitation, technology (including, in the case of Be Free, BFAST, its

trade names, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and confidential information.
Neither party shall use the intellectual property of the other without the prior
written permission of the owner.

Merchant shall retain the right to use the Affiliate names and addresses
obtained by Be Free through the Open Affiliate Outreach & FastApp Services
subject to the confidentiality obligations in Section 6.

                                      2.
<PAGE>

6.1  Each party acknowledges that during the Term or any Additional Terms of
this Agreement, it may obtain access to trade secrets and confidential business
information of the other party.  A trade secret generally consists of valuable,
secret information or ideas that a party collects or uses in order to keep its
competitive edge.  Trade secrets include, without limitation, system designs,
program materials (including source code and any documentation which has not
been publicly distributed or disclosed), operating processes, equipment design,
product specifications, and any other proprietary technology.  Confidential
business information consists of all other competitively sensitive information
kept in confidence by a party and includes, without limitation, contract terms,
selling and pricing information and procedures.

6.2  Each party agrees not to use or disclose any trade secrets or confidential
business information of the other party, except as may be necessary to employees
of a party who have a specific need to know in order to coordinate the operation
of the Affiliate Sales Channel and, specifically, shall not disclose any trade
secret or confidential business information at any time to any third party
without the prior express written permission of the owner of such trade secret
or confidential business information.  These restrictions do not apply to (a)
any information that is or becomes generally available to the public except in
breach of any other provision hereunder; (b) any information properly obtained
from a completely independent source; or (c) any information that may be
necessary to establish rights hereunder, or as may be required by law or
governmental regulations or authority.

6.3  Merchant, for itself and its employees, agents, and consultants, (a) shall
not attempt in any manner to decompile or reverse-engineer the source code of Be

to do or attempt to do so.

Merchant develops a network of affiliate sites substantially similar to the
network supported by BeFree pursuant to this Agreement.  Such network consists
of affiliate sites that carry offers and links for products or services of
Merchant in exchange for payment based on the traffic to or sales generated by
such advertisement or promotion pursuant to a set of terms that are
substantially standard (e.g., negotiated relationships with strategic partners,
relationships with advertising agencies and direct marketing activities would
all be outside of the Sales Affiliate Program).

7.2  The parties agree to announce this Agreement shortly after the its
execution.  Each party shall have the right to approve the other party's

accident, power failure, flood, riot or declared or undeclared war.

7.7  This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its
subject matter, supersedes any other agreements or understandings between them,
and may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties.  A party's waiver

<PAGE>

claim of infringement, Indemnifying Party may, at its option, (i) obtain the

modify the Indemnifying Party's products and services so it is no longer

any fees received from or remits any amounts due to Indemnified Party hereunder,
whichever applicable.

based on (i) products or services of the Indemnifying Party which have been
modified by parties other than Indemnifying Party; (ii) Indemnified Party's use
of Indemnifying Party's products or services in conjunction with data where use
with such data gave rise to the infringement claim; or (iii) Indemnified Party's
use of Indemnifying Party's products or services with non-Indemnifying Party
software or hardware, where use with such other software or hardware gave rise
to the infringement claim.

9.   Marketing

CyberSource shall be entitled to disclose the existence of the relationship
formed hereunder between Customer and CyberSource through the use of media
releases, public announcements, and customer reference materials. CyberSource
