transaction and $2 for ACH refunds and $10 for each return item);
c) a reserve for credit card charge backs of three percent (3%) of the
total advertising revenues for a rolling twelve (12) months. This
reserve will serve to reduce fluctuations in monthly payments and
may be adjusted from time to time with written notice to more
accurately reflect the actual charge back experience. Sole liability

the primary publisher of the advertising, where the primary
publisher is defined as the publisher receiving payment for the

ATTACHMENT A - RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES
Company Shall:
a) Assign a Company employee as the project contact to assist AdStar in the
design of the Web page interface look and feel which will be consistent
with Company's Web environment and will be based on AdStar's required
information. The interface will use the AdStar demo site, Ad-StarNet, and
Ad-Star private label templates as guides for the fields of information
that are needed and the flow of the Web pages. Company and Ad-Star will
mutually agree on the final implemented look and feel along with the
fields of data that are required. The Co-branded pages will accommodate ad
placement into all participating Company Affiliates and Ad-Star Clients;
and when linked to from a Company Affiliate Web site, will also include
that publication as the default selection. Collectively the Web pages that
include Ad-Star ad taking services which make up the Affiliates' versions
and the Company's own version of Ad-Star's marketplace for buying and
selling classified advertising are hereto and previously called the
"Co-branded pages". Company and Ad-Star will mutually agree on the final
implemented look and feel on the Co-branded pages.
b) promote the Ad-Star ad taking services to its Affiliates through e-mails,
updates and other communications to its Affiliates. Company will use its
customer service workers or other qualified representatives to enlist its
Affiliates in the program. Company will include the Ad-Star ad taking
services into its basic service for all new Company Affiliates and as an
automatic upgrade to all existing Company Affiliates.
c) ensure that its participating Affiliates publish the ads delivered to them
through the Ad-Star ad taking services in accordance with what the
advertiser has paid for, e.g. appropriate placement and frequency.
d) will promote the Co-branded pages to the users of its Web site with
permanent buttons from the navigation bars across the top and left hand
sides of its Web site. These permanent buttons will link to the Co-branded
pages. In addition, Company will include a link to the Co-branded pages in
the "What's New" section at launch.
AdStar Shall:
a) provide company with an exclusive means to place State Association buys
where Company has exclusive relationship, existing and future, with the
Newspaper State Association. A "State Association buy" is defined as the
ability to buy through the Ad-Star ad taking services all newspapers in
the Newspaper State Association, which participate and are Company
affiliates, with a single selection rather than having to identify each
newspaper separately. The State Association buy will only be available for
a pre-defined formatted ad, which is acceptable by all participating
newspapers and Ad-Star.
b) provide Company and its Affiliates with the ability to take ads through
the Ad-Star ad taking services into the Affiliates print and online
environments. These ads will be pre-paid and conform to the reasonable
pricing instructions from the publication. AdStar will deliver the
advertising coming through the Ad-Star ad taking services to the
appropriate Company Affiliate for publication via e-mail. Advertising may
alternatively be delivered to Company Affiliate via fax for an additional
cost to cover telecommunications charges. If this option is elected, all
telecommunications charges will be deducted from advertising revenues paid
to Affiliate in the same fashion as other applicable fees as detailed in
Section 5) of the Agreement to which this Attachment A is attached.
c) assist in the marketing to key Company Affiliates and making marketing and
training presentations to the Company sales force. Additional
presentations requested by Company beyond what AdStar considers reasonable
will be made at the expense of Company or other mutually agreed
arrangement.
d) support and maintain the Company ad taking functionality including hosting
of the Co-branded pages. Ad-Star will upgrade the Ad-Star ad taking
service on the Co-branded pages at no charge when the upgrade enhances
already existing capabilities of the Ad-Star ad taking service. Other
reasonable updating, such as once a year, of pricing tables for Company
Affiliates' publications will be done free of charge on an annual basis
for each Company Affiliate that generates over 1,200 paid ads for the
previous 12 months to the update. Otherwise there will be a fee for
updating pricing tables of $200 per update. Ad-Star will provide
reasonable telephone support for Company and its Affiliates with regard to
the ad taking functionality at 310-577-8255 during normal business hours,
Pacific Standard

Time. In addition, Ad-Star will provide e-mail support exclusively for
advertisers using the Company version of the Ad-Star ad taking services.
e) in the event that it goes out of business, grant Company a contingent
license to use the Source Code in a manner limited to maintaining the
Co-branded pages such that Company can support only Company's Existing
Affiliates. "Existing Affiliates" is defined as those Affiliates whom
Ad-Star has included in the Ad-Star ad taking service at the time of the
granting of the contingent license.
f) provide Company with a percentage of every "Ad-Star transaction fee"
("Ad-Star transaction fee" is a per ad fee charged, excluding merchant
processing fees, reserves for payment chargebacks and fax
telecommunication charges) charged to Company Affiliates and Ad-Star
Clients for ad placement, based on the channel through which the ad was
originated and the Publication Status (i.e. Publication Status is
determined by whether or not the Company Affiliate is a Pre-existing
Ad-Star Client or if the Publications is not a Company Affiliate (Ad-Star
Client solely). A list of Company Affiliates as of the Effective Date is
included as Attachment B. A list of Ad-Star Clients as of the Effective
Date is included as Attachment C.). If Company adds a new Affiliate the
Publication Status will be "Company Affiliate First" unless the
Publications already has an Agreement with Ad-Star at the time of becoming
a Company Affiliate. Note that if a Company Affiliate or Company Affiliate
First does not host their classified Web site with Company, Company must
get Affiliate to place prominent links to the Co-branded pages or their
private label version of the Ad-Star ad taking services from their
classified Web site and to agree to the terms of this Agreement, in order
for that Affiliate to be included as a Company Affiliate for the purposes
of determining Publication Status and transaction fees due Company. The
percentage of the transaction fee due to Company is indicated in the
following table:
CHANNEL BY WHICH AD IS ORIGINATED
PUBLICATION STATUS COMPANY WEB SITES PUBLICATION'S WEB SITE AD-STARNET
Company Affiliate First 40% 40% 25%
(i.e. not a pre-existing
Ad-Star Client)
Pre-existing Ad-Star Client 25% 0% 0%
Ad-Star Client solely 25% 0% 0%
(i.e. not a Company
Affiliate)
Note that whenever a user comes through Company's Web site and places an
ad in a non-Company Affiliate publication, Company will receive 25% of the
transaction fee paid as a distribution fee. Ad-Star will pay Company and
its Affiliates their appropriate advertising revenues or fees in
accordance with the terms of Section 5 above of the Agreement to which
this Attachment A is attached.
g) determine the initial Ad-Star transaction fee that is best borne by the
marketplace, which at the time of this Agreement is expected to be three
dollars ($3.00). Ad-Star shall also determine changes in transaction fees
and communicate to the Company such changes, with sixty (60) days advance
notice. Absent mutual consent of Ad-Star and Company, subsequent changes
to transaction fee will only be on a calendar year basis. The transaction
fee for each ad will be netted against the pre-payment of the ad collected
by Ad-Star as detailed in Section 5 of the Agreement to which this
Attachment A is attached. Not withstanding the above, the total Ad-Star
transaction fee for State Association buys will be determined by the
number of Affiliates in the State Association buy multiplied by the
Ad-Star transaction fee (e.g. 10 Affiliates x $3.00=$30.00), however the
total Ad-Star transaction fee for a State Association buy will not exceed
ten percent (10%) of the total advertising revenue for the particular buy
(e.g. 10 Affiliates x $25.00 (individual ad revenue per Affiliate) =
$250.00 (total advertising revenue), so the Maximum Ad-Star transaction
fee for this buy is $250.00 * 10%= $25.00). In addition, the Minimum
Ad-Star transaction fee for a State Association buy is $.75 per Affiliate
in the particular buy, (e.g. 10 Affiliates x $6.00 (individual ad revenue
per Affiliate) = $60.00, so the minimum Ad-Star transaction fee for this
buy is 10 Affiliates x $.75 = $7.50. Note that when the Minimum Ad-Star
transaction fee is greater than the Maximum Ad-Star transaction fee, the
Minimum Ad-Star transaction fee shall rule.
h) Provide Company with an initial exclusive right to market the AdStar ad
taking services to Company First Affiliates for a reasonable period of
time, not to exceed 90 days.

i) reserve the right to refuse service to any Company Affiliate at AdStar's
reasonable discretion, after first using reasonable means to remedy cause
of refusal.
j) provide additional revenue generating opportunities for the Co-branded
pages. Revenue from all e-commerce opportunities on the Co-branded pages
will be split evenly between Ad-Star and Company after a mutually agreed
share for the Affiliate.
k) Ad-Star and Company agree to split all banner advertising impressions on
the Co-branded pages on a fifty-fifty (50/50) basis. The mechanism for
distributing the banner impressions between Ad-Star and Company will be
developed in greater detail Each company will retain full responsibility
for selling the advertising impressions allocated to it as well as one
hundred percent (100%) of all revenues derived from said advertising.
Finally, it is understood that Affiliates retain the right to refuse
selected banner advertising on their versions of the Co-branded sites.
l) use reasonable efforts to provide Company with pageview counts for
visitors from Company and Affiliate Web sites to the Co-branded pages.
m) collect information necessary for setting up Ad-Star's ad taking service
