serving in excess of 25% of the aggregate number of its credit union clients
which Websites or portions thereof contain third party data similar or
competitive with the Credit Union Data, or (ii) establishes Websites or

F. Links To ABT Site. IntelliChoice shall create and, during the Agreement
Term after creation, maintain Links embedded in the IntelliChoice Site linking
it to the ABT Site in: (i) that portion of the IntelliChoice Site which
provides new vehicle information; and (ii) that portion of the IntelliChoice
Site which provides used vehicle information. IntelliChoice agees that, during
the Agreement Term, it shall not create Links from the IntelliChoice Site to any
web site operated by Auto Web, Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, XXX International,
StoneAge or AutoTown on its own branded host server (each, an "Excluded Site").
Irrespective of the foregoing, a site shall not be deemed an Excluded Site if
the site is labeled or co-labeled as a site of Microsoft Corporation and any
Link to that site is undertaken as an obligation of a contract which is in force
between IntelliChoice and Microsoft prior to the date that this contract is
signed. In addition, during the Agreement Term, IntelliChoice shall not create a
Link to any other web site which specifically identifies or characterizes that
website as a "vehicle buying" program or service. The foregoing sentence shall
not prevent IntelliChoice from providing any Link to any web site other than the
Excluded Sites, including sites that provide vehicle buying programs or
services, so long as such Link does not itself specifically identify or
characterize the website as a vehicle buying program or service. In addition,
during the Agreement Term, IntelliChoice shall from time to time, on a rotating
on and off basis, place banner advertising for the ABT Site on the IntelliChoice
Site, in places, sizes and frequency determined by IntelliChoice in its
discretion.
G. Identification Technology. ABT has developed software (the "Tracking
Software") designed to identify which Clients pass from the ABT Site to the
IntelliChoice Site (including the Affinity Group Site or the Credit Union Site)
or from the IntelliChoice Site to the ABT Site using any Links on either Site
or otherwise qualify for a Purchase Referral (as defined below). Additionally,
IntelliChoice and ABT may, together or independently, desire to create or
modify such Tracking Software.). In such event, the parties will use reasonable
efforts to agree upon the criteria for the Tracking Software and to allocate
development obligations. Unless otherwise agreed, each party will bear its own
expense in connection with such development. Each party shall retain all rights
to Tracking Software which they have developed.
H. Rights. The Sites and all proprietary rights used on the Sites or in
connection therewith (including any search engines, data, software, trademarks
or tradenames and other IntelliChoice Rights) shall be published by and owned
and operated solely by IntelliChoice. The rights of ABT, Credit Union Clients
and Affinity Group Clients to access and use the Site (and data and services
provided thereon) shall in all respects be non-exclusive. IntelliChoice will
have any rights in the Client Data that are authorized by any IntelliChoice
Client or are otherwise available to it at law or in equity. Except for the
obligation of IntelliChoice to provide the Credit Union Data and Credit Union
Services on the Credit Union Site and to provide the Affinity Group Data and
the Affinity Group Services on the Affinity Group Site, all aspects of the
creation and maintenance of the Sites shall be in IntelliChoice's sole
discretion, including formats, layouts, content, locations, etc.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Affinity Group Site and the Credit
Union Site will be designed so that users may reasonably perceive such Sites as
part of the ABT Site through the use of the "look and feel" of the ABT Site.
ABT will provide graphic
7
8
images, user interface specifications and any navigational information
necessary to reproduce such look and feel, and IntelliChoice Agrees, subject
the following sentence, to incorporate ABT comments on the format, layout,
content, locations, etc. of the Affinity Group Site and the Credit Union Site
with the goal of reasonably recreating such look and fee. The parties agree
that "look and feel" refers to the general background of the screen, and that
the functionality of the Sites (e.g. the design of the searching capabilities,
the layout of the CarBuilder application, etc.) will not be modified from the
way that IntelliChoice has designed such functionality. Additionally, the
uniform reference locator of the Sites will begin with the prefix
"xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/" followed by the name of ABT's choice. At the
option of IntelliChoice, the Sites may contain graphical and textual
representations of the ABT Trademarks; provided, that the style, content and
format of such ABT Trademarks shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.
4. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS

responsibilities (as well as ownership) of the ABT Site and its publication
(subject to the rights of IntelliChoice licensed hereunder). ABT shall embed in
the ABT Site text and graphical Links that will prominently feature
IntelliChoice as a provider of data and services for the ABT Site and ABT
Clients; such Links shall at a minimum appear in the ABT "Information Provider"
section of the ABT Site (which Link shall be at least as prominent as any
other Link in such section other than for "CarPoint") and in each place the
IntelliChoice Car Data in available; each such Link shall be approved by
IntelliChoice. In addition, in each place the IntelliChoice Data is available,
IntelliChoice shall be prominently disclosed and credited as the provider of
such data. To the extent that any Links or references contain the IntelliChoice

limiting IntelliChoice's obligations hereunder, it must comply with all
applicable laws and regulations relating to the use of the Internet, including

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested
C. Acceptance. ABT shall have one week following the date a Site becomes
available during which to review and conduct testing of the Site to determine
whether it provides access to the applicable data and services. If, during the
course of such testing ABT reasonably determines that the IntelliChoice Site
fails to substantially provide such access (generally, "non-conformities"), it
shall so notify IntelliChoice in a writing which sets forth the
non-conformities discovered. IntelliChoice shall have a period of one week
thereafter in which to correct such non-conformities and publish a revised
version of the Site to ABT for further testing pursuant to the procedures set
forth in this Section. The foregoing procedures shall be repeated until ABT
determines that there are no material non-conformities in the Site. In the
event the IntelliChoice Site is not approved after two (2) iterations of the
foregoing process, ABT may terminate this Agreement, which termination shall
end all obligations of the parties and shall be without further liability or
obligation by either party, other than obligations which survive termination.
Should ABT not reject the Site by providing the writing described above within
one week, ABT shall be deemed to have accepted the Site (an "Acceptance").
5. COMPENSATION
A. Initial Fee. ABT agrees to pay to IntelliChoice, upon execution of
this Agreement, a one-time fee of $25,000 as a fee to create the Sites (the
"Initial Fee").
B. Monthly Fees. In consideration of the Data License and the provisions
of Section 3.F, ABT agrees to pay IntelliChoice monthly fees (the "Monthly
Fees") as follows: (i) for the first six months following the Data Transfer
Date, the sum of [*] per month; and (ii) for the remainder of the Agreement
Term, the sum of [*] per month. The Monthly Fees shall be due in advance on the

this Agreement per Section 10 shall relieve ABT of the Monthly Fee obligation.

Affinity Group Data and Affinity Services, ABT agrees to pay IntelliChoice Five
Hundred Dollars ($500) per month for each Affinity Client ABT has registered

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested
D. Referral Fees
(i) Credit Unions: Links. For each "Referral" (as defined
below) for new vehicles submitted by an IntelliChoice Client
(other than an Affinity Group Client) or by a Credit Union
Client, ABT shall pay IntelliChoice a onetime fee of [*]. For
each Referral for used vehicles purchased by an IntelliChoice
Client (other than an Affinity Group Client) or by a Credit Union
Client, ABT shall pay IntelliChoice a onetime fee of [*].
(ii) Affinity Group. For each Referral from an Affinity Group
Client for a new or used vehicle, ABT shall pay IntelliChoice a
onetime fee of [*].
(iii) Referral. A Referral shall mean any completion of a
purchase request (a "Transaction Request") by any IntelliChoice
Client (including any Credit Union Client or Affinity Group
Client) that accesses the IntelliChoice Site (including the
Sites) and thereafter submits a Transaction Request with ABT
(whether at the ABT Site, the IntelliChoice Site, or elsewhere),
whether or not the applicable client initiates first contact
through the ABT Site or the IntelliChoice Site and whether or not
such IntelliChoice Client makes a direct Link to the ABT Site or
accesses the ABT Site or otherwise makes a Transaction Request at
some later date. It is understood that each request for lease,
financing or similar purpose will only occur in conjunction with,
or after, a Transaction Request, and not independent of a
Transaction Request. The parties will establish mechanisms in
addition to the Tracking Software to track such Clients,
including mechanisms to determine whether each person or entity
that completes a Transaction Request accessed the IntelliChoice
Site at any prior time. Multiple requests from an individual car
buyer made within sixty (60) days shall count as one Referral.
Multiple requests from an employee of a credit union or affinity
group, made on behalf of credit union or affinity group members,
shall count as one Referral only to the extent that only one
Referral would have been counted if the credit union or affinity
group members had made the requests themselves. Referrals shall
be paid monthly, within twenty (20) days after the calendar month
in which the Referral is made. Each payment of Referral Fees
shall be accompanied by a detailed report, showing the
transactions upon which the fees are based (including the name of
each Credit Union Client, Affinity Group Client and the details
of the transaction). Referral Fees will be payable after the
Agreement Term for IntelliChoice Clients who access the
IntelliChoice Car Data during the Agreement Term and make a
Transaction Request within one (1) month after the Agreement
Term.
E. Books and Records: Audit. ABT agrees to maintain, until two (2)
years after the termination of this Agreement, complete books, records and
accounts regarding all Purchase Requests. ABT agrees to allow IntelliChoice's
independent auditor, no more than three times each calendar year, to audit and
examine such books, records and account during ABT's normal
10
11
business hours and upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice to ABT, in
order to verify the accuracy of the reports under this Section. Such audit
shall be subject to the auditor's agreement to confidentiality restrictions
substantially similar to the terms and conditions of Section 10 if so
requested by ABT. Such auditor shall report to ABT and IntelliChoice only
whether any Purchase Referral Fees were under-reported and, if so, the amount
of such under-reporting. If such auditor reasonably determines that ABT has not
made full accounting to IntelliChoice under this Agreement, ABT agrees to
promptly pay IntelliChoice the amount of such shortfall (together with late
charges as applicable). If such auditor reasonably determines that ABT has
overpaid IntelliChoice under this Agreement, ABT shall have a credit balance in
its account with IntelliChoice of the amount of such overpayment. In addition,
if any such examination reveals an under reporting to IntelliChoice with
respect to Purchase Referral Fees of five percent (5%) or more, ABT shall
reimburse IntelliChoice its costs of such examination.
F. Taxes. ABT shall pay or, at IntelliChoice's option, reimburse
IntelliChoice for any and all taxes, duties and assessments imposed on ABT or
IntelliChoice in connection with the license and other transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, including, without, limitation, all sales, use,
excise and other taxes and duties, and excluding only taxes based upon
IntelliChoice's income, and taxes (other than sales, use, and excise taxes) due
by IntelliChoice under current taxing authority rules and regulations.
G. Late Charges. Downtime Offsets: Etc. Any amounts not paid when due
shall bear interest at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum and the
maximum legal rate. All amounts shall be payable without offset, except the
offset of a credit balance determined in Section 5E. Downtime or unavailability
of a Site for any reason within the reasonable control of IntelliChoice for
greater than seven (7) days in a month shall give ABT the right to terminate
this Agreement, upon 30 day's notice, if the Site continues to be unavailable
or down for seven (7) days within the notification period. A termination under
this clause is not a default by IntelliChoice, and this Agreement will
terminate without other force or effect. Upon termination, IntelliChoice is
entitled to all moneys earned through the date of termination. ABT is relieved
of any obligation to pay fees which have not been earned at the date of
termination.
H. Obligations of Parent. Parent hereby agrees that it is jointly and
severally liable for all of the obligations of ABT hereunder. Parent
acknowledges that it is obtaining direct benefit from this contract by reason
of its ownership of ABT and its direct and indirect interests in the
transactions contemplated hereby.

sublicense the IntelliChoice Rights except as expressly permitted hereby, and
(c) to maintain the IntelliChoice Rights which are not publicly available in

10. TERM AND TERMINATION
A. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
continue in full force and effect for two (2) years after the Data Transfer Date
unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(the "Initial Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew automatically for
one (1) year (the "Renewal Terms") unless-either party provides thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the other party of its intent to terminate for
convenience. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term are collectively the
""Agreement Term".
B. Termination for Cause. If either party defaults in the performance of
any provision of this Agreement, and the default is one which is reasonably
susceptible of cure, then the non-defaulting party may give written notice to
the defaulting party that if the default is not cured within thirty (30) days
this Agreement will terminate. If the non-defaulting party gives such notice
and the default is not cured within thirty (30) days, this Agreement shall
terminate automatically without any obligation on the non-defaulting party to
provide any further notice of termination. If the default is one which is not
reasonably susceptible of cure, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon
the giving of notice by the non-defaulting party, with no cure period provided.
C. Effect of Termination.
(I) Upon the termination of this Agreement, the following provisions
shall take effect:
(A) The rights and licenses granted under this Agreement,
including IntelliChoice's obligations under Section 3, shall automatically
terminate and ABT shall cease any use of any IntelliChoice Rights, and
IntelliChoice shall cease use of any ABT Rights;
(B) All payments owed to IntelliChoice shall become due and
payable;
(C) Except as otherwise provided herein, the non-breaching
parties shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity
(and for such purposes, each party
15
16
acknowledges that injunctive relief will be appropriate to protect the other
party's Rights, which are unique and special and which cannot be protected
through the award of damages); and
(D) The provisions of Sections 2.B, 6, 7.A, 8.D, 9, 10.C,
11, 12, and 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
A. Obligation of Confidentiality. The parties acknowledges that by
reason of their relationship to each other hereunder, each shall have access to
certain information and materials concerning the other's business, plans,
customers, technology and products that is confidential and of substantial
value to that other party, which value would be impaired if such information
were disclosed to third parties. Confidential Information shall consist of the
IntelliChoice Rights (as to IntelliChoice) and, as to each party, such other
information and materials of such party as are marked as "Confidential",
"Proprietary" or some similar designation ("Confidential Information"). Each
party agrees that it shall not use in any way, for its own account or the
account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party, any such
Confidential Information revealed to it by the other party (except to carry out
its express rights and obligations under this Agreement) and shall take every
reasonable precaution to protect the confidentiality of such information.
B. Exceptions. Information shall not be deemed Confidential
Information hereunder if such information: (I) is known to the recipient on the
Effective Date directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an
obligation of confidentiality to the providing party; (II) hereafter becomes
known (independently of disclosure by the providing party) to the recipient
directly or indirectly from a source other than one as to which the recipient
is aware that such source has an obligation of confidentiality to the providing
party; (III) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or
confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the recipient; or
(IV) was independently developed by the recipient without use of or reference
to the providing party's confidential information.
12. TRADEMARK INDEMNITY
Each party shall defend, or at its option settle, any claim brought
against the other by a third party and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
other party against all costs and expenses of such claims alleging that, in the
case of IntelliChoice, ABT's Trademarks, and, in the case of ABT,
IntelliChoice's Trademarks, infringe a trademark, trade name, service xxxx or
other intellectual property right of such third party, provided however, that:
(i) the party to be indemnified shall notify the indemnifying party promptly of
any such claim and gives the indemnifying party full and complete authority,
information and assistance to defend or settle such claim at the indemnifying
party's expense; and (ii) the party to be indemnified gives the indemnifying
party full control of the defense and all negotiations for its compromise and
settlement.

A. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder may not be assigned or sublicensed by either party. Any

foregoing, IntelliChoice may assign or transfer this Agreement in connection
with any sale, or transfer of substantially all the ownership of IntelliChoice
or its assets. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will benefit and bind
the successors and assigns of the parties. For purposes of the foregoing, any

delivery or three (3) days after deposit, if by U.S. mail.
C. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall continue in full force and effect. EACH PART OF THIS AGREEMENT
THAT LIMITS LIABILITY, DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, OR EXCLUDES DAMAGES
IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER PROVISION AND IS TO BE ENFORCED THAT
WAY. IF ANY REMEDY FAILS TO FULFILL ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, THE LIMITATIONS OF
LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES REMAIN IN EFFECT.
D. Waivers. Any waivers must be in writing and the waiver of one breach
or default in exercising any rights will not constitute a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default.
E. Attorney's Fees. If any action or arbitration is brought to enforce
or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be
entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs, in additions to any other
relief to which that party may be entitled and awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction, including any fees and costs incurred on any appeal.
F. Integration. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between
the parties, may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the matters
covered by this Agreement.
G. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for delays
or failures in performance arising out of or resulting from causes beyond the
reasonable control of that party, including, without limitation, acts of God,
labor disputes or disturbance, material shortages or

18
rationing, riots, acts of war, governmental regulation, communication or
utility failures, or casualties.
H. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which

I. Injunctive Relief. In addition to any of the other remedies available
to the parties hereto, each party agrees that it shall be entitled to a decree
of specific performance or an injunction restraining violations of a parties'
proprietary rights (including any violation of Section 10 of this Agreement).

other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or equity.
J. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.
K. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay such party's own expenses
incurred (including, without limitation, the fees of counsel) on such party's
behalf in connection with this Agreement or the performance of its services
hereunder.
L. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto as to the subject matter of this Agreement,
and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications or
agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, neither party has any obligation to provide any
services or data not expressly set forth in this Agreement, including any
additional development work, maintenance or support. This Agreement may only be
amended by written agreement between parties.
M. Independent Contractors. The parties will act as independent
contractors in the performance of this Agreement, and nothing contained in this
Agreement will be construed to (i) give either party the power to direct and
control the day-to-day activities of the other, (ii) constitute the parties, as
partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or
common undertaking, or (iii) allow either party to create or assume any
obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. All
financial obligations associated with each party's business are the sole
responsibility of that party. All sales and other agreements between ABT and
ABT Clients are ABT's exclusive responsibility and will have no effect on ABT's
obligations under this Agreement. All sales and other agreements between
IntelliChoice and IntelliChoice Clients and IntelliChoice's exclusive
responsibility and will have no effect on IntelliChoice's obligations under
this Agreement.
N. Arbitration. Any controversy between ABT and IntelliChoice related
directly or indirectly to any this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder (including as to whether a
18
19
dispute is subject to arbitration) will be settled by binding arbitration under
the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect,
except as specifically stated in this Agreement. It does not matter whether the
controversy is based on contract, tort, strict liability or other legal theory.
Despite the foregoing, ABT and IntelliChoice will not arbitrate controversies
involving violation of any of the proprietary rights of either party (including
of the IntelliChoice Rights) or of third parties. Any arbitration will be held
in Santa Clara, California, by one arbitrator with significant knowledge about
the electronic information services industry. Each party reserves the right to
obtain an interim or permanent injunction in court to prevent infringement,
misappropriation or other violation of its proprietary rights of and/or the use
of rights in violation of this Agreement. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Sections 1-15, not state law, will govern the arbitrability of all claims and
all aspects of any arbitration. The arbitrator will not have authority to award
any punitive, exemplary or other non-compensatory damages or any penalties
relating to any dispute arbitrated or litigated. At the request of a party, the
arbitrator will establish a discovery schedule that will: (i) allow each party
to notice the depositions of up to three persons (and the length of any such
deposition will not exceed two days), (ii) allow each party to serve up to 10
requests for production of up to forty documents or things, and (iii) require
each party to notify the other party of the names and address of each person
knowing any facts relating to the claims being arbitrated and describing
briefly for each person the relevant facts known by that person. Each party
will be allowed at least 20 days after receiving those names and addresses to
notice the depositions stated in (i) above. The scope of the depositions,
requests for production and the extent of the parties' obligations to respond
will be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Except as provided
above, there will be no discovery in any arbitration that results from this
Agreement.
