DOUBLECLICK DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
4.1 Phase I - Implementation of Media Serving Services. DoubleClick shall
--------------------------------------------------
provide the following services which shall be completed within the time periods
specified below (collectively, "Phase I Development Services"):
(a) Make available sufficient media servers to provide the Media
Serving Services within twenty (20) business days of the Effective Date.
MediaPlex will use its ad serving technology to redirect to the relevant image
files on these DoubleClick media servers as ad requests are processed by
MediaPlex.
(b) Develop a custom process whereby MediaPlex can populate the
DoubleClick media servers with Advertising creatives and verify successful
transfer of such files, subject to the parties mutually agreeing on the
specifications, schedules and fees for the development of such process. It is
contemplated by the parties that such population process would likely take place
approximately once per hour when it is in operation. DoubleClick shall not be
required to complete this aspect of Phase I until such specifications, schedule
and fees have been mutually agreed. Both parties will cooperate and exhibit
good faith effort in establishing a more efficient transfer process.
(c) MediaPlex shall provide to DoubleClick detailed and accurate
reporting of all Advertisements served using just the Media Serving Services and
not the full Private Label DART Service. The parties shall cooperate to
implement such reporting.

the effective date. The Ad Server macro will append to the re-direct URL the
appropriate data from the DART IP database for the use of further message
targeting by MOJO

---------------------------------------------
modify its standard DART for Advertisers service to create the Private Label
DART Service with the
9
following customizations, which shall be completed within the time periods
specified below (collectively, "Phase II Development Services"):
(a) Customer Ad management and reporting user interfaces shall be
developed to provide MediaPlex branding (and/or, at MediaPlex's option, branding
of MediaPlex Advertising Agency clients) and eliminate references to DoubleClick
by name or logo. References to DoubleClick shall also be eliminated from the
reporting URLs by allowing MediaPlex DNS records to refer to DoubleClick
reporting servers. Completion of this capability is estimated to be by October
1, 1999.
(b) A custom login screen with MediaPlex branding (and/or, at
MediaPlex's option, branding of MediaPlex Advertising Agency clients) would also
be available upon written request and within thirty (30) business days of such
request.
(c) The DART software shall be configured so that it can be used for
ad-matching that redirects either to DoubleClick media servers, or to MediaPlex
java objects which in turn determine which redirect is appropriate. Estimated
to be completed during October 1999.
(d) ASCII files incorporating data from MediaPlex's online
advertising served by DoubleClick, including logs of all Impressions and click
events, shall be developed within five (5) business days of the Effective Date.
(e) Reporting functionality shall be configured within five (5)
business days of the Effective Date so that MediaPlex files will be available
and updated, on average, every 24 hours, and stored at DoubleClick for a period
of 10 days before deletion. Delivery of the data from DoubleClick to MediaPlex
will be via FTP over the Internet. Such FTP transfer will be a complete
transfer of the previous days data transmitted during off peak hours and
DoubleClick shall store the previous 10 days data from MediaPlex and MediaPlex
Clients.
(f) A custom trafficking API shall be developed consisting of CSV
files to assist MediaPlex in avoiding trafficking Advertising campaigns
duplicatively (i.e., once in their own systems and once in the DoubleClick
System) within fifteen (15) business days of the Effective Date. In the event
that MediaPlex requests in writing that the API instead consist of XML files,
the development of such API shall be subject to the parties mutually agreeing
upon the specifications, schedule and fees for such development work and
DoubleClick shall not be required to complete this aspect of Phase II until such
specifications, schedule and fees have been mutually agreed.
(g) Data integration shall be carried out subject to the parties
mutually agreeing upon the specifications, schedule and fees for such
integration to be determined after further discussion on requirements.
DoubleClick shall not be required to complete this aspect of Phase II until such
specifications, schedule and fees have been mutually agreed.
(h) A facility for the importing of historical data from client
campaigns being transferred to the DART system will be developed with the
cooperation of MediaPlex.
10
DoubleClick shall not be required to complete this aspect of Phase II until
specifications, schedule and fees of this effort have been mutually agreed.
4.3 Phase III - Integration of MediaPlex Mobile Adserver. The parties
----------------------------------------------------
agree to enter into good faith discussions in relation to the development of
hosting solutions for the MediaPlex mobile adserver java objects, including
servlets, classes, and parsers, subject to reaching mutual agreement as to the
specifications, schedule and fees for such Development Services.
4.4 Outsourced Trafficking Services. At MediaPlex's option, MediaPlex may
-------------------------------
request that DoubleClick provide trafficking services in relation to the
MediaPlex Client Advertising (which shall include input of banner ads into the
System).
4.5 Completion and Acceptance of Development Services. When DoubleClick
-------------------------------------------------
believes it has appropriately completed a deliverable within a Phase,
DoubleClick will deliver it to MediaPlex. MediaPlex will accept or reject the
deliverable within fourteen (14) days after delivery; and failure to give notice
of acceptance or rejection within that period or first commercial use
(regardless of notice of rejection) will constitute acceptance. MediaPlex may
reject the deliverable only if the deliverable fails in a material respect to
meet the mutually agreed specifications for that deliverable. A rejection
notice will be effective only if it provides a detailed description of any such
failures in a manner sufficient to allow DoubleClick to reproduce them. If a
deliverable is accepted, DoubleClick will be conclusively presumed to have met
its obligations with respect thereto. If MediaPlex properly rejects a
deliverable, DoubleClick will use diligent efforts to promptly correct the
failures properly specified in the rejection notice. When it believes that it
has made the necessary corrections, DoubleClick will again deliver the
deliverable to MediaPlex and the acceptance/rejection/correction provisions
above shall be reapplied until the deliverable is accepted. MediaPlex may not
reject a resubmitted Deliverable for a failure that was present and reasonably
discoverable in a previously submitted version of the deliverable. If MediaPlex
identifies a failure with a deliverable and DoubleClick shows that the failure
was caused by something other than the deliverable, MediaPlex will pay
DoubleClick for any related work to that time at the DoubleClick's standard time
and materials rates. Any deadlines for completing a Phase or a deliverable
shall be extended day for day by the period of any delay caused by MediaPlex.
Completion of Phase II of the Development Services shall be subject to
completion of Phase I of the Development Services.
SECTION 5

Private Label DART Service that the parties may agree, (iv) fees for training
over and above the free training services, and (v) outsource trafficking fees,

this Agreement. DoubleClick shall promptly notify MediaPlex of all claims and
proceedings related thereto of which DoubleClick becomes aware.
10.2 DoubleClick's Indemnities. DoubleClick agrees to indemnify and hold
