1. INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the term of this
Agreement, Exodus will provide to Customer the services described in the
Internet Data Center Services Order Form(s) ("IDC" Services Order Form(s)")
accepted by Exodus or substantially similar services if such substantially
similar services would provide Customer with substantially similar benefits
("Internet Data Center Services"). All IDC Services Order Forms accepted by
Exodus are incorporated herein by this reference, each as of the Submission Date
indicated in such form.
2. FEES AND BILLING.
2.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees due according to the IDC
Services Order Form(s).
2.2 Billing Commencement. Billing for Internet Data Center Services,
other than Setup Fees, indicated in the initial IDC Services Order
Form shall commence on the earlier to occur of (i) the "Installation
Date" indicated in the initial IDC Services Order Form, regardless of
whether Customer has commenced use of the Internet Data Center
Services, unless Customer is unable to install the Customer Equipment
and/or use the Internet Data Center Services by the Installation Date
due to the fault of Exodus, then billing will not begin until the date
Exodus has remedied such fault and (ii) the date the "Customer
Equipment" (Customer's computer hardware and other tangible equipment,
as identified in the Customer Equipment List which is incorporated
herein by this reference) is placed by Customer in the "Customer Area"
(the portion(s) of the Internet Data Center, as defined in Section 3.1
below, made available to Customer hereunder for the placement of
Customer Equipment) and is operational. All Setup Fees will be billed
upon receipt of a Customer signed IDC Services Order Form. In the
event that Customer orders additional Internet Data Center Services,
billing for such services shall commence on the date Exodus first
provides such additional Internet Data Center Services to Customer or
as otherwise agreed to by Customer and Exodus.
2.3 Billing and Payment Terms. Customer will be billed monthly in
advance of the provision of Internet Data Center Services and payment of such
fees will be due within thirty (30) days of the date of each Exodus invoice.
All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. Late payments hereunder will
acquire interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month,
or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. If in its
judgment Exodus determines that Customer is not creditworthy or is otherwise not
financially secure, Exodus may, upon written notice to Customer, modify the
payment terms to require full payment before the provision of Internet Data
Center Services or other assurances to secure Customer's payment obligations
hereunder.
2.4 Taxes. All payments required by this Agreement are exclusive of all
national, state, municipal or other governmental excise, sales, value-added,
use, personal property, and occupational taxes, excises, withholding taxes and
obligations and other levies now in force or enacted in the future, all of which
Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based
on Exodus' net income.
3. CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS.
3.1 Compliance with Law and Rules and Regulations. Customer agrees
that Customer will comply at all times with all applicable laws and regulations
and Exodus' general rules and regulations relating to its provision of Internet
Data Center Services as updated by Exodus from time to time ("Rules and
Regulations"). Customer acknowledges that Exodus exercises no control
whatsoever over the content of the information passing through its sites

the sole responsibility of Customer to ensure that the information it transmits
and receives complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
3.2 Customer's Code. Customer agrees that it will be solely

expenses (other than those included as part of the Internet Data Center Services
and except as otherwise expressly provided herein) it incurs in connection with
this Agreement.
3.3 Access and Security. Customer will be fully responsible for any
charges, costs, expenses (other than those included in the Internet Data Center

any unauthorized use of any access devices provided by Exodus hereunder.
Except with the advanced written consent of Exodus. Customer's access to the
Internet Data Centers will be limited solely to the individuals identified and

during the term of this Agreement: (i) comprehensive general liability
insurance in an amount not less than $5 million per occurrence for bodily injury
and property damage; (ii) employer's liability insurance in an amount not less

those required by applicable law and customary in Customer's and its agents'
industries.
(b) Certificate of Insurance. Prior to installation of any Customer

provider(s) to name Exodus as an additional insured and notify Exodus in writing
of the effective date thereof.

access to certain confidential information of the other party concerning the
other party's business plans, customers, technology, and products, including the
terms and conditions of this Agreement ("Confidential Information").
Confidential Information will include, but not be limited to, each party's
proprietary software and customer information. Each party agrees that it will
not use in any way, for its own account or the account of any third party,
except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, nor disclose to any third party
(except as required by law or to that party's attorneys, accountants and other
advisors as reasonably necessary) any of the other party's Confidential
Information and will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality
of such information.

party prior to receipt from the disclosing party directly or indirectly from a
source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing
party; (ii) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing

independently developed by the receiving party.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
5.1 Warranties by Customer.
(a) Customer Equipment. Customer represents and warrants that it 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 customers' and users' use of the Internet Data
Center Services (collectively, "Customer's Network") 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 has 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.

anticipated breach, of any of the foregoing warranties, in addition to any other

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 Exodus' reasonable control and not as a result of
any actions or inactions 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-rata 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 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 (30) 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 FAILURE BY EXODUS TO PROVIDE INTERNET DATA 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 TO 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 OF 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 purposes.

9.6 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution, Severability; Wavier. This
Agreement is made under and will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California (except that body of law controlling
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
Agreement (other than claims for preliminary injunctive relief or other
pre-judgment remedies) will be resolved at the request of either party through
binding arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted in Santa Xxxxx County,
California, under the rules and procedures of the Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation Society ("JAMS"). The parties will request that JAMS appoint a single
arbitrator possessing knowledge of online services agreements; however the
arbitration will proceed even if such a person is 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.
9.7 Assignment; Notices. Customer may not assign its rights or delegate
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
substantially all of its assets. Any attempted assignment or delegation without
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
