substantially similar to the terms in this Agreement. Such measures shall

rewards partner in the United Airlines Mileage Plus Program." MPI and United
may, at their sole discretion, also issue a press release, in a form similar to

prior approval of the non-releasing party, provided that (a) such approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and (b) any disapproval shall be provided to the

-------- -------
Mileage Plus brand, logo, or trademarks are not used in any way in connection
with a Direct Competitor of Netcentives.

(b) Termination of Limited Exclusivity. Beginning on the first
----------------------------------
anniversary of the Effective Date, either party may terminate the obligations of
the parties under the relationship of Limited Exclusivity upon provision of

the expiration of such Limited Exclusivity period shall be considered a material
breach of this Agreement by MPI, unless excepted in Section 5.1(a) in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5.1(c).

-------------
twenty (20) days of the execution of this Agreement and upon receipt of all

of such use, provided in each case that MPI or United promptly notifies

----------------------------------
modification of any provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by the party against whom such waiver, amendment or modification is
sought to be enforced. No failure by either party to exercise and no delay by
either party in exercising any right, power or remedy with respect to the
obligations secured hereby shall operate as a subsequent waiver of any such

assignment of this Agreement, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

------------
Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible

enforceable provision that most nearly effects the parties' intent and to be
bound by the mutually agreed substitute provision.
