Content Agreement
This Content Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of September 29, 1999 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between XxxxxXxxxx.xxx or any successor site, a
division of Xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a California corporation with principal offices
at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
("ChickClick") and Xxxxx.xxx, a Delaware corporation, with principal offices at
0000 Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 ("Xxxxx.xxx").
Background
ChickClick operates a network of World Wide Web sites featuring content for
young women. ChickClick has developed a site currently located at
xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx (the "ChickClick Site"), which connects to a network of
affiliates sites to provide a greater breadth and depth of content.
Xxxxx.xxx sells prestige beauty and accessory products and provides information
about personal care and beauty online, through its World Wide Web site, located
at xxx.Xxxxx.xxx or successor sites (the "Xxxxx.xxx Site").
Xxxxx.xxx wishes to have links established from the ChickClick Site to the
Xxxxx.xxx Site (each, a "Xxxxx.xxx Link") and to co-brand certain areas and
activities on the ChickClick Site.
ChickClick has agreed to establish those links and to co-brand certain areas on
the ChickClick Site, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Now therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. Links/Sponsorship/Promotion. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,
1.1 Text Links. ChickClick will develop, implement and maintain a
Xxxxx.xxx Link from each of the pages located at xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx and
xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx (the "Home Pages") to the Xxxxx.xxx Site, as described in this
Section (mock up attached as Exhibit A). Each of the Xxxxx.xxx Links described
in this Section will consist of up to thirty five characters of text and will
have an "editorial" look and feel (the "Link Text"). The initial content of the
Link Text will be provided to ChickClick by Xxxxx.xxx and updates to the Link
Text will be provided by Xxxxx.xxx at least every five days during the term of
this Agreement. ChickClick will provide reasonable editorial assistance to
Xxxxx.xxx to help ensure that the Link Text has an editorial tone appropriate
for the ChickClick Site. The Link Text will not include any content that is
obscene, derogatory, libelous or otherwise offensive or that infringes the
rights of any third party. ChickClick may reject any Link Text that it
reasonably believes fails to comply with the provisions of this Section or is
otherwise inappropriate for the users of the ChickClick Site with reasonable
notice to Xxxxx.xxx. Xxxxx.xxx will ensure that each Xxxxx.xxx
Link described in this Section will link to an area on the Xxxxx.xxx Site that
displays content only and does not offer products or services for sale. For the
purposes of this section, providing further links to product pages, whether
imbedded in banner ads, sponsorship placement or other content on such Xxxxx.xxx
Site pages, will not constitute an offer for sale.
1.2 Beauty Polls. Twice in each calendar month, ChickClick will develop
and display a "Beauty Poll" for participation by the users of the ChickClick
Site (mock up attached as Exhibit B). The subject matter of the Beauty Poll will
be developed by ChickClick with the assistance of Xxxxx.xxx. Xxxxx.xxx must
approve the contents of Beauty Poll in writing, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. The Beauty Poll area will include a statement that the
Beauty Poll is co-presented by ChickClick and Xxxxx.xxx and will include a
Xxxxx.xxx Link. Each Beauty Poll will be displayed on one or more Home Pages
until a mutually agreed upon impression level is met.
1.3 Cool Product. Beginning on the first Monday of October and ending the
last Sunday in October, Xxxxx.xxx will be entitled to present Xxxxx.xxx Products
in the "Cool Product of the Week" area of the Home Pages (the "Cool Product
Area") (mock up attached as Exhibit A). During each [**] the Cool Product Area
will be displayed beginning [**] and ending [**]. The Cool Product Area will
be at least 120x90 pixels, with the entire Cool Product Area appearing above the
fold and will include a Xxxxx.xxx Link containing a Xxxxx.xxx Xxxx. Gloss may
make daily changes to the Cool Product Area, provided, however, that Xxxxx.xxx
supplies the creative elements necessary to implement the change requested [**]
prior to the change.
1.4 ChickClick Boutique. Throughout the term of this Agreement, a
Xxxxx.xxx Link will be included in the navigational bar of the jump page to the
e-commerce area of the ChickClick Site (the "ChickClick Boutique") (mock up
attached as Exhibit C). The "jump page" (mock up attached as Exhibit D)will
reside between the ChickClick Boutique home page and Xxxxx.xxx. The location and
description on the Xxxxx.xxx link is subject to Xxxxx.xxx approval, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, [**] of all banner
advertisements displayed on the ChickClick Site to promote the ChickClick
Boutique will include a Xxxxx.xxx Xxxx (as defined in Section 6.1). These banner
advertisements will not count towards the Impression guarantees set forth in
Section 2.1.
1.5 ChickClick Registration Area. ChickClick will provide the opportunity
for ChickClick users to register on the Xxxxx.xxx Site when they register for
the ChickClick Site ("Co-Registration") (mock up attached as Exhibit E). The Co-
Registration option will appear as a default option on the ChickClick
registration page every time the ChickClick registration page is displayed and
will permit users to "opt out" of the registration selection. The Co-
Registration process will require that a registrant agree to receive email from
Xxxxx.xxx as a condition to registration for the Xxxxx.xxx Site. ChickClick and
Xxxxx.xxx will jointly own any information collected by Chickclick through the
Co-Registration process. The information will be delivered to Xxxxx.xxx on

"Contests") to promote the ChickClick Registration area described in Section 1.5

commencement of the delivery of the Xxxxx.xxx Advertisements on the ChickClick
Site. The Xxxxx.xxx Advertisements will not include any content that is obscene,
derogatory, libelous or otherwise offensive or that infringes the rights of any
third party. ChickClick may reject any Xxxxx.xxx Advertisement that it
reasonably believes fails to comply with the provisions of this Section or is
otherwise inappropriate for the users of the ChickClick Site. If the
advertisement is rejected by Chickclick, Chickclick will provide appropriate
notice to Xxxxx.xxx of the rejection as well as reasons supporting the
rejection.
1.9 Holiday Pages. ChickClick will develop with Xxxxx.xxx co-branded pages
for the 1999 holiday season (the "Holiday Pages") for inclusion in the

Impressions which represents [**] of the Impression Guarantee upon the six
(6) months anniversary of this Agreement, Xxxxx.xxx will suspend payment under
Section 5.1 for the next three (3) months or until such number has been
achieved, whichever comes first. If this number has not been achieved upon the
nine (9) month anniversary of this Agreement, at its discretion, Xxxxx.xxx may
elect to either: (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) continue to suspend
payments until such traffic has been achieved, at which time payments from
Xxxxx.xxx to ChickClick will be resumed. In either case, ChickClick must still
deliver to Xxxxx.xxx an amount of traffic equivalent to the amount paid for by

the total amount of all Monthly Fees paid by Xxxxx.xxx divided by the "Deal CPM"

the aggregate number of Impressions actually delivered by ChickClick under this
Agreement (other than the impressions expressly excluded herefrom) exceeds the
number of Impressions paid for by Xxxxx.xxx under Section 5.1 as of the

thirty (30) days following such effective date an amount equivalent to the
number of Unpaid Impressions multiplied by the Deal CPM , up to a maximum of the
monthly fees (or prorated portion thereof) payable under Section 5.1 for the
number of months (or portion thereof) elapsed prior to the effective date of
termination. In addition, if Xxxxx.xxx continues to suspend payment under (b)
above, then at such time as the aggregate number of Impressions actually
delivered by ChickClick under this Agreement (other than the impressions
expressly excluded herefrom) equals the amount paid by Xxxxx.xxx under Section
5.1 prior to such time, then Xxxxx.xxx will resume payment of fees under Section
5.1 in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Section 5.4, prorating
the monthly fees for portions of months then remaining. If ChickClick fails to
provide the minimum number of Impressions set forth in any Section of this
Agreement, Xxxxx.xxx's sole and exclusive remedy and ChickClick's sole and
exclusive obligation shall be to continue delivering Impressions until it
delivers the total number of promised Impressions.
