content which violates any applicable law or which would expose Microsoft, in
its reasonable estimation, to potential civil or criminal liability.
b. NO LICENSE. Nothing in this Agreement grants ICP any rights to any
Microsoft software, technology or other intellectual property rights.
Microsoft retains all right, title and interest in and to the Featured
Technology, MWM and RSG.
c. REPORTS. For each month during the Term, Microsoft will use commercially
reasonable efforts to report to ICP the referrals from MWM and/or RSG to
ICP Site Pages.

constitutes a trademark, service xxxx or other similar intellectual
property ("xxxx"), ICP hereby grants to Microsoft a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right and license to
use and display such xxxx solely for purposes of inclusion in MWM, RSG,
other Microsoft web sites, and as part of the favorites or comparable
sections of Internet Explorer and/or Windows Media Player.
c. CONTENT MODULES. To the extent containing any information protected by
copyright or other intellectual property, ICP hereby grants Microsoft a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right
and license to use, copy, publicly perform and display, transmit and
distribute Content Modules solely for purposes of inclusion of such Content
Modules on MWM, RSG, other Microsoft web sites, and as part of the
favorites or comparable sections of Internet Explorer and/or Windows Media
Player.
d. DEMONSTRATION RIGHTS. ICP hereby further grants Microsoft a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right and license to
use and publicly perform and display the ICP Name, ICP Service Name,
Content Modules, screen shots and/or interactive versions of the ICP Site
solely for the purposes of demonstrating ICP's use of the Featured

entitled to suspend its performance under this Agreement until such report
has been received. All information provided pursuant to this section will
be deemed to be Confidential Information (as defined in the Standard Terms
and Conditions) of ICP and, in addition to Microsoft's obligations with
respect to Confidential Information under the Standard Terms and
Conditions, such Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to

this Agreement, and fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof, or, in the case of a material breach of Section A
of the Standard Terms and Conditions regarding confidentiality, immediately
upon written notice at any time without providing initial notice or an
opportunity to cure. Termination of this Agreement shall be the sole remedy
for a party for failure of the other party to provide the guaranteed
minimum impressions as set forth in this Agreement.

the parties. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement
for any reason, Section 1.b, 2.b-d, and the Standard Terms and Conditions
in Attachment B will survive (or, where separately specified in each such
section, will survive in accordance with the terms in such section).

TOOLBAR
a. ICP SITE PAGES: The parties agree that the primary focus of the ICP Site
Pages will be to make available high quality streaming media that is useful
and interesting in and of itself to end users of both the ICP Site and MWM
and/or RSG. ICP will use and promote the Featured Technology in accordance
with this Agreement and, in addition, at least as favorably as ICP uses and
promotes any third party streaming media technology, including without
limitation with respect to: (i) quality of user experience, (ii) encoding
rates, (iii) bandwidth allocation, and (iv) promotion of the Featured
Technology. ICP shall include on the home page of ICP Site a direct link to
ICP Site Pages. ICP shall ensure that the ICP Site Pages have an
architecture optimized for high quality streaming media performance, with
at least one hundred (100) simultaneous connections and a maximum peak
bandwidth use of no more than two (2) hours in any twenty-four (24) hour
period. In the event that peak bandwidth use exceeds two (2) hours in any
twenty-four (24) hour period, ICP shall increase the bandwidth allocated
for use by the Featured Technology to a commercially reasonable degree in
order to offer a reasonable user experience. ICP shall offer end users high
quality streaming media, including by complying with the following:
1) FM stations are to be encoded in at least 16 kbit (e.g. Voxware AC
16-16000 mono) and/or
2) AM stations are to be encoded in at least 8 kbit (e.g. Voxware AC
8-11025 mono).
3) All on-demand videos are to be encoded in multiple data rates (at
least 22 kbit & 37 kbit streams).
4) All streaming media must use either MPEG 4 v.2 video codec,
Voxware Metasound audio codec, XXXXX.xxx audio codec or Sipro's
ACELP codec instead of the Voxware Metasound codec if the content
is speech.
5) All streaming media must demonstrate correct selection of audio
codecs and, if video, appropriate video output parameter settings
(frame size/ frame rate etc), all based on content type and total
data rate for the file.
6) ICP must offer some streaming media in Windows Media
Player-compatible format without charge to MWM and/or RSG end
users on ICP Site Pages. In addition, ICP must offer the most
popular streaming media, in ICP's reasonable estimation, in
Windows Media Player-compatible format within the ICP Site Pages.
7) All streaming media must be updated at least five (5) times per
week.
8) All radio stations should stream content twenty-four (24) hours
per day.
b. The parties agree that ICP will control in its sole discretion all data,
text, audio, video, graphics, photographs, artwork and other technology and
materials on the ICP Site Pages ("ICP CONTENT"). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, ICP will comply with all obligations with respect to
such ICP Content set forth in this Featured Technology Schedule or
otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

impressions per month
V. CONTENT MODULE EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
a. General Requirements
--------------------
1. To provide Content Modules under this Agreement, ICP shall follow
these general requirements:
(A) Each headline, schedule and event should have a separate
page and URL so Read/Unread behavior works properly.
(B) ICP will provide a URL location to retrieve ICP's CDF files
in accordance with the following guidelines:
o The subdirectory on ICP's Site for staging the CDF file(s)
should be denoted "webevents."
o The CDF file names for headlines, events, and schedule
content should be denoted as headlines.cdf, event.cdf, and
schedule.cdf, respectively.
2. The Content Modules must work on Internet Explorer 3.x, 4.x and 5.x
and Netscape Communicator 3.x and 4.x. ICP must also ensure that Content Modules
work with new versions of each such browser within one (1) week of such new
version's post-beta commercial release to the Web.
3. Updates to these requirements, detailed technical specifications and
web-based support on how to provide Content Modules is provided on
xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx. Technical questions should be directed to
xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Xxxxxxxxx Com Final Page 6 of 16
XxxxxxxXxxxx.xxx & Windows Media Technology Promotion Agreement
February 18, 1999
b. Editorial Requirements
----------------------
To provide a Content Module under this Agreement, ICP shall follow these
editorial requirements:
1. All headlines should not exceed fifty (50) characters.
2. All headlines should be underlined up through (but not beyond) the
last character of the headline. This can be prevented by not
having an additional space character at the very end.
3. All headlines should end without a period.
4. All headlines should have only the initial word and any proper
nouns capitalized (sentence-style capitalization not
headline-style capitalization).
5. All links should go directly to the specific article or ICP
Content, i.e., "deep" link, using anchor tags. It is an
unacceptable user experience to link (i) to the top of page when
the article is further down, (ii) to home pages that do not
contain the applicable ICP Content, or (iii) to a table of
contents instead of directly to the specific ICP Content.
6. All headlines and events should be updated at least once each week
day (weekend days at ICP's option), or more frequently, depending
on mutual agreement.
c. Testing
-------
Microsoft may in its discretion test Content Modules in the MWM and RSG test
environment prior to posting in production environment. No testing or other
quality control efforts of Microsoft in connection with activities contemplated
by this Agreement will be deemed to modify ICP's obligations to comply with the
Agreement, including the guidelines set forth in this Featured Technology
Schedule, and Microsoft will have no responsibility for identifying or
addressing any errors in ICP Content Modules.
d. Escalation Procedures
---------------------
In the event ICP's Content produces a critical error, Microsoft reserves the
right to pull the applicable Content Module within thirty (30) minutes of
discovery. A critical error is defined as:
1. A Content Module which includes a link that produces an HTTP error,
2. A Content Module which causes other Content Modules to be corrupt or to
malfunction,
3. A Content Module which is empty.
In the event a Content Module needs to be pulled from the Microsoft Internet web
site, Microsoft will notify ICP immediately and will use commercially reasonable
efforts to communicate with ICP to facilitate ICP's determination of the cause
of the error.
ICP will provide two (2) technical contacts for technical staff working on MWM
and RSG to use in the event of any Content Module problems. If ICP encounters
any problems on MWM or RSG, one of such technical contacts should email
xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
VI. ICP REPORTING GUIDELINES

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. CONFIDENTIALITY
1. CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS. Each party will protect the other's
Confidential Information (as defined below) disclosed in connection
with this Agreement from unauthorized dissemination and use with the
same degree of care that such party uses to protect its own like
information. Neither party will use the other's Confidential
Information for purposes other than those necessary to directly further
the purposes of this Agreement. Neither party will disclose to third
parties the other's Confidential Information without the prior written
consent of the other party. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, no ownership or license rights are granted in any
Confidential Information. The other provisions of this Agreement
notwithstanding, either party will be permitted to disclose the
Confidential Information to its outside legal and financial advisors;
and to the extent required by applicable law, provided however that
before making any such required filing or disclosure, the disclosing
party will first give written notice of the intended disclosure to the
other party, within a reasonable time prior to the time when disclosure
is to be made, and the disclosing party will exercise best efforts, in
cooperation with and at the expense of the other party, consistent with
reasonable time constraints, to obtain confidential treatment for all
non-public and sensitive provisions of this Agreement, including
without limitation dollar amounts and other numerical information.
2. DEFINITION. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means: (a) any
source code of software; (b) any trade secrets and/or other proprietary
non-public information not generally known relating to either party's
product plans, designs, costs, prices and names, finances, marketing
plans, business opportunities, personnel, research, development or
know-how; and (c) the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
"Confidential Information" does not include information that: (i) is or
becomes generally known or available by publication, commercial use or
otherwise through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) is known and
has been reduced to tangible form by the receiving party at the time of
disclosure and is not subject to restriction; (iii) is independently
developed by the receiving party; (iv) is lawfully obtained from a
third party that has the right to make such disclosure; or (v) is made
generally available by the disclosing party without restriction on
disclosure.
3. LIMITATIONS. The parties' obligations of confidentiality under this
Agreement will not be construed to limit either party's right to
independently develop or acquire products without use of the other
party's Confidential Information. Further, either party will be free to
use for any purpose the residuals resulting from access to or work with
such Confidential Information, provided that such party will maintain
the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as provided herein.
The term "residuals" means information in non-tangible form, which may
be retained by persons who have had rightful and good faith access to
the Confidential Information, including ideas, concepts, know-how or
techniques contained therein. Neither party will have any obligation to
limit or restrict the assignment of such persons or to pay royalties
for any work resulting from the use of residuals. However, the
foregoing will not be deemed to grant to either party a license under
the other party's copyrights or patents.
B. WARRANTIES
Each party warrants and covenants that it has the full power and authority to
enter into and perform according to the terms of this Agreement.
C. DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTIES
ANY AND ALL SOFTWARE, CONTENT, SERVICES, OTHER MATERIALS AND CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED "AS

BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR

February 18, 1999
PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATERIALS OR
INFORMATION PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
D. INDEMNITY
1. INDEMNITY. ICP will, at its expense and Microsoft's request, defend any
claim or action brought by a third party against Microsoft, or
Microsoft's subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents and independent contractors, to the extent it is based upon a
claim that any ICP Site, ICP Site Page, ICP Content, ICP Content
Modules or ICP Site Link (i) infringes or violates any patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or other
intellectual property, proprietary or contractual right of a third
party, or (ii) contains defamatory or libelous material or material
which illegally discloses private or personal matters concerning any
person; or (iii) permits to appear or be uploaded any messages, data,
images or programs which are illegal, contain nudity or sexually
explicit content or are, by law, obscene, profane or pornographic; or
(iv) permits to appear or be uploaded any messages, data, images or
programs that would knowingly or intentionally (which includes imputed
intent) violate the property rights of others, including unauthorized
copyrighted text, images or programs, trade secrets or other
confidential proprietary information, or trademarks or service marks
used in an infringing fashion (such claims or actions being referred to
hereinafter as "ICP Claims"). ICP will indemnify and hold Microsoft
harmless from and against any costs, damages and reasonable fees
reasonably incurred by Microsoft, including but not limited to fees of
outside attorneys and other professionals, that are attributable to
such ICP Claims. Microsoft will: (a) provide ICP reasonably prompt
notice in writing of any such ICP Claims and permit ICP, through
counsel chosen by ICP and reasonably acceptable to Microsoft, to answer
and defend such ICP Claims; and (b) provide the entity defending such
claim information, assistance and authority, at such entity's expense,
to help defend such ICP Claims. ICP will not be responsible for any
settlement made by Microsoft without ICP's written permission, which
permission will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LCP will
consult with Microsoft on the choice of any counsel under this Section
D.
2. SETTLEMENT. Unless ICP obtains for Microsoft a complete release of all
ICP Claims thereunder, ICP may not settle any ICP Claim under this
Section D on Microsoft's behalf without first obtaining Microsoft's
written permission, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Reasonable withholding of permission may be based upon,
among other factors, the ability for Microsoft to ship any product. In
the event ICP and Microsoft agree to settle an ICP Claim, ICP agrees
not to publicize the existence of or disclose terms of the settlement
without first obtaining Microsoft's written permission, which
permission will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
E. LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL. INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA OR
BUSINESS INFORMATION, AND THE LIKE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR CONTENT, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY, NOR TO ICP'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO
THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION D OF THESE STANDARD TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.
