shall assist AT&T in the creation, development, testing and implementation of
any Co-Marketing Program proposed by AT&T. AT&T will provide final approval over

on a prompt basis) and (subject to Section 5.5 of this Agreement) shall have the
right to modify the components of the Marketing Plan from time to time in AT&T's

3.2. MARKETING MATERIALS. AT&T shall prepare and provide to Juno certain
materials to be incorporated into the Marketing Materials, all of which shall be
subject to Juno's review and approval in accordance with Juno's regular
procedures for approval of advertisements on the Juno Service. In the event AT&T
requests Juno to prepare any Marketing Materials on AT&T's behalf and/or if Juno
creates any of its own Marketing Materials in connection with this Agreement,
such Marketing Materials will be subject to final review and approval by AT&T.
The Marketing Materials shall not (and AT&T shall not utilize the customer order
or order fulfillment processes to) promote services of AT&T other than the AT&T
Services without Juno's prior written consent, which may be granted or denied in
Juno's sole discretion.

3.3. CREDITWORTHINESS.
(a) AT&T may determine, in its sole discretion, whether it desires to
have Ad Bundles transmitted and AT&T Services marketed solely to those
members of the Juno Eligible Member Base who meet certain creditworthiness
criteria established (or to be established) by AT&T. If AT&T desires to
limit the extension of offers under the Marketing Plan to those members of
the Juno Eligible Member Base who satisfy the creditworthiness criteria
established by AT&T, Juno will use its reasonable commercial efforts to
transmit Ad Bundles as so requested by AT&T.
(b) Responsibility for the selection, engagement, and acts (or
omissions) of any third-party data-matching firm and/or credit reporting
agency necessary for the application of such creditworthiness criteria (or
for the determination of which Juno Subscribers come within the definition
of the "Juno Eligible Member Base") shall, as between the Parties, reside
solely with AT&T, including, without limitation, responsibility for costs
and expenses relating thereto. If requested by AT&T to assist AT&T in
connection with the activities described in this subsection, Juno shall use
its reasonable commercial efforts to provide assistance, but shall act
solely in the capacity of AT&T's agent.
3.4. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. AT&T shall comply with all applicable
laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and any rules, regulations and interpretations relating
thereto) in respect of the conduct of its business, including, without
limitation, in the obtaining or use of credit information for purposes of
establishing or applying creditworthiness criteria as it may elect under
this Article 3 and in the design and implementation of Marketing Materials
and marketing strategies based thereon. AT&T further represents and
warrants that (i) it shall not obtain, or attempt to obtain, credit
information through the employment of deceptive or false pretenses; and
(ii) that creditworthiness information, if any, obtained or used by AT&T
that relates to Juno Subscribers shall be used solely in connection with a
firm offer of credit (as such term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting
Act) and not for any other purpose.
4. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.
4.1. EXCLUSIVITY.
(A) EXCLUSIVE MARKETING. For the duration of the Term, AT&T will have
the right to be the exclusive wireless communications provider marketed by
Juno through the Juno Service. In the event this Agreement is terminated or
expires (other than Juno's termination of this Agreement for cause pursuant
to Section 11.3 or AT&T's termination for convenience pursuant to Section
11.2), Juno will agree to refrain from knowingly soliciting any current or
former Existing AT&T Subscriber or New AT&T Subscriber for the purpose of
offering any competitive wireless service for a period of [****] days
following
------------------
[****] Confidential treatment has been requested for this portion pursuant to
Rule 406 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

such termination or expiration.
(B) RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION. In the event that this Agreement is
terminated at any time (other than by
Juno pursuant to Section 11.3 herein) or expires at the end of the Term
without renewal, Juno shall grant AT&T a right of first negotiation to
continue the promotion of AT&T Services through the Juno Service, as
described below. This right of first negotiation shall commence on the date
of the termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall continue for
sixty (60) consecutive days thereafter (the "First Negotiation Period").
During the First Negotiation Period, Juno will not enter into a
"Competitive Agreement" (as defined below) with a third party, unless Juno
has provided to AT&T in writing a summary of the material terms and
conditions contained in a bona fide offer by such third party (the "Juno
Summary") and provided AT&T a period of at least thirty (30) days from the
date such Juno Summary was received by AT&T in which to respond to such
Juno Summary. Upon an expression of interest by AT&T, the parties will, in
good faith, commence negotiations for a new marketing agreement. In the
event that the parties have not agreed on the terms of a new marketing
agreement or AT&T has not agreed in writing within such thirty (30) day
period, to match substantially all of the material terms of the Juno
Summary, then Juno may enter into the Competitive Agreement as described in
the Juno Summary. Any change to or addition of a material term in the Juno
Summary shall constitute a new offer and require a new Juno Summary to be
submitted in accordance with the terms of this section. As used above, a
"Competitive Agreement" shall be defined as either (i) an exclusive
agreement for the promotion over the Juno Service of wireless
communications services offered by any company other than AT&T, or (ii) an
advertising agreement under which Juno is contractually guaranteed to
receive an amount greater than $[***] for the sale on the Juno Service of
advertising of wireless communications services offered by any company
other than AT&T. After the expiration of the First Negotiation Period and
any required negotiating period trigged by the submission of a Juno
Summary, Juno shall be free to enter into any agreement with any third
party (including without limitation a Competitive Agreement) without
providing AT&T with any notice or opportunity to negotiate.
4.2. PUBLICITY; USE OF MARKS. The timing and content of any press release
regarding any aspect of this Agreement (whether in electronic, print, or other
media) shall be subject to the prior written approval of both Parties. Except as
explicitly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall, without the other
Party's prior written approval, use in any advertising, public announcement,
press release or any other promotional endeavor any Xxxx or represent, directly
or indirectly, that any product or service provided by such Party has been
approved or endorsed by the other Party. All uses by one Party of the other
Party's Marks must be reviewed and approved by such other Party and must comply
with the other Party's guidelines. No provision of this Agreement shall be
deemed to grant either Party any rights in the other Party's Marks.

Rule 406 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

4.3. OTHER JUNO SERVICES. Nothing herein shall apply to any service or
product offered by Juno other than the Juno Service, and AT&T acknowledges and
agrees that to the extent AT&T desires to extend this or any other relationship
to any other Juno product or service, such extension may be subject to a
distinct set of applicable terms and conditions.

prior notice to AT&T, and shall be conducted, during regular business hours
on AT&T's premises in such a manner as to minimize disruption to AT&T. If

the fees owed to Juno, AT&T shall promptly pay such fees to Juno together
with the costs of the audit.

EXHIBIT A
MARKETING PLAN
THIS MARKETING PLAN REFERS TO THE MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
DECEMBER 11, 1998 BETWEEN JUNO ONLINE SERVICES, L.P. AND AT&T WIRELESS SERVICES,
INC. (THE "AGREEMENT"). DEFINED TERMS USED IN THIS MARKETING PLAN ARE USED AS
DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CO-MARKETING PROGRAMS:
AT&T will advertise the AT&T Services to at least [***]% of the Juno Eligible
Member Base every full calendar month of the Term of the Agreement, except for
those months in which the parties mutually agree to target a smaller percentage
of the Juno Eligible Member Base for the purposes of testing.
Juno has developed, tested, and campaigned various marketing strategies designed
to maximize member response and profitability on behalf of its partners. These
strategies identify three main components to each incremental campaign of an
ongoing marketing relationship: a) the ad "bundle," b) the ad "testing," and c)
the ad "rollout." (Please reference the Advertising Key below for full
descriptions of the types of advertisements mentioned below.)
A) THE AD BUNDLE
Initially, Juno will transmit on behalf of AT&T an introductory e-mail and an
introductory Interstitial Ad to announce the initiation of a relationship
between Juno and AT&T, endorsing AT&T Services and establishing AT&T as the
"official wireless provider of Juno Online Services."
Subsequently, Juno will utilize the following formula for each incremental
campaign:
[***] Interstitial Ad (displayed [***] times per member) [***] Banner
Ad (displayed [***] times per member) [***] Pop-up Ad (displayed [***]
times per member)
B) THE AD TESTING
Juno has found that by testing various components of an individual campaign, it
is able to identify a preferred mix of such components, thereby enabling it to
roll out on a larger scale with an effective campaign. Campaign components
suitable for testing include product offer, creative, copy, order form/response
page, premium/promotion, targeting, Web click-through capability, and
re-solicitation.
--------------------
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for this portion pursuant to
Rule 406 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
15
Juno recommends running approximately [***] test campaigns per year to maximize
response.
C) THE AD ROLLOUT
Based on the results of such Ad Testing, AT&T will be able to identify the
campaign(s) that should be rolled out to the portion of the Juno Eligible Member
Base targeted each month.
D) MARKETING DEVELOPMENT COSTS
There are two main Marketing Development Costs that Juno incurs as a result of
marketing on behalf of its strategic partners: Ad Production Costs (fixed cost)
and Ad Transmission Costs (variable cost).
1. AD PRODUCTION COSTS. To cover Juno's ad production costs, AT&T will pay
Juno $[***] per Ad Bundle. For each test campaign, it will be necessary for
Juno to construct a new Ad Bundle. Assuming that AT&T decides to run 12
test campaigns per year, the annual fixed cost of ad production for AT&T
would be equal to $[***].
2. AD TRANSMISSION COSTS. To cover Juno's ad transmission costs, AT&T will pay
Juno $[***] for each member to whom the campaign is transmitted. The
following table illustrates such variable transmission charges:
---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------
[***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***]
members members members members members members
---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------
$[***] $[***] $[***] $[***] $[***] $[***]
---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------- ---------------
Given that the number of Juno Subscribers targeted on a monthly basis will be
directly proportional to both the total size of the Juno Eligible Member Base
and the activity rates of the Juno Eligible Member Base, aggregate transmission
payments cannot be definitively determined at this date.
3. TOTAL DIRECT COSTS. By combining fixed Ad Production Costs with variable Ad
Transmission Costs, AT&T can identify the level at which it would
compensate Juno for Juno Marketing Development Costs.
ADVERTISING KEY
1. INTERSTITIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Interstitial Ads represent an excellent
branding opportunity, as these full-sized ads (which cover the entire
interface) are present for the entire duration of a Juno Subscriber's
connection to Juno's servers. Said connections usually last 30-45 seconds,
--------------------
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for this portion pursuant to
Rule 406 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
16
and typically occur twice in any given Juno session (at the beginning and
end of each session). For the purposes of this ongoing marketing program,
Interstitial Ads shall be utilized to support the interactive Banner,
Pop-Up, and Click-Through Ads (as described below) by calling Juno
Subscribers' attention to the upcoming opportunities from AT&T, by
providing a few key selling points for the AT&T Services, and (if AT&T is
inclined to pursue) by providing 800# telephone service to those customers
interested in responding by phone.
2. BANNER ADVERTISEMENTS. Banner Ads, which are displayed to Juno Subscribers
during their e-mail session, are interactive, graphical ads that allow
users to click through to off-line "micro-sites." These micro-sites can
contain multiple pages, allowing users to navigate between them, providing
members both more information about products and services and an ability to
make a purchase or request more information.
3. POP-UP ADVERTISEMENTS. Pop-Up Ads may appear in one of six "slots" during
an e-mail session (two in the beginning, two during, and two at the end of
a given session), and, covering the entire interface, require a member to
"close" or "cancel" the advertisement. Like Banner Ads, Pop-Up Ads are
interactive, may contain multiple off-line micro-site pages, and allow
customers to purchase or request more information on a given product or
service.
4. CLICK-THROUGH ADVERTISEMENTS. Click-Through Ads are banner and pop-up
advertisements that provide online access to a selected Web site(s) for a
pre-specified amount of time. Rather than viewing off-line micro-sites,
Juno Subscribers who click on a Click-Through Ad will launch a browser and
access the Web.
5. DIRECT E-MAILS. Direct E-mails are all-text messages sent directly from
Juno to its Subscribers. For the purposes of this marketing program, Juno
will send a Direct E-mail to announce the Juno/AT&T relationship and
promote the AT&T Services.
