provided, that Customer shall include a list of Customer's current Subsidiaries
on the applicable Product Schedule (as defined below) prior to execution of this
Agreement. Customer guarantees its Subsidiaries' obligation under this

Term, as defined below, of this Agreement and the surviving entity desires to
receive Data, as defined below, from Acxiom pursuant to this Agreement, the
parties agree that the fees set forth in the applicable Product Schedule for the
Data may be subject, in Acxiom's sole and reasonable discretion, to adjustment
by Acxiom in consideration of any such acquisition or merger.
2. TERM / RENEWAL / TERMINATION.
2.1 This Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue
until terminated. The term of a Product Schedule shall be set forth in the
Product Schedule.
2.2 Subject to Section 2.3, either party may terminate (i) this
Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice for convenience, provided
that no Product Schedule is in effect upon termination, or (ii) this Agreement
or a Product Schedule immediately in the event the other party is in default
under this Agreement or the respective Product Schedule and fails to cure such
default within thirty (30) days of written notice from the other party
specifying the nature of such default.
2.3 In the event of a termination of the Agreement and in the event
that any Product Schedule is still in effect as of the effective date of such
termination, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect
to such Product Schedule and until such Product Schedule is terminated in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Product Schedule.
2.4 In the event that legislation, governmental regulations, or
industry self-regulation prohibits the delivery or use of a Product, Acxiom may
terminate this Agreement or the applicable Product Schedule upon the effective
date of such legislation or regulations. If Acxiom should voluntarily withdraw
a Product due to legislative, regulatory industry, or political pressures,
Acxiom may terminate this Agreement or the applicable Product Schedule upon
three (3) months prior written notice, and Customer shall discontinue using the
Data (as defined below) at the end of such three-month period.
2.5 Upon the termination of this Agreement or a Product Schedule for
any reason, Customer shall, at Acxiom's option, destroy or return to Acxiom the
respective Data and any copies thereof and certify in a writing to be delivered
to Acxiom within five (5) business days following such destruction or return
that the Customer has fully complied with the requirements of this Section.
Upon termination, Customer shall promptly pay to Acxiom any outstanding fees
owed to Acxiom. In no event shall Customer be entitled to a refund of amounts

3. PRODUCTS / PAYMENT.
3.1 Subject to the license granted in Section 5, Acxiom may provide (i)
data ("Data") contained in the Acxiom products ("Products") described in one or
more Product schedules ("Product Schedules") executed by the parties and
incorporated herein by reference; and (ii) the Data processing services in
connection therewith. In the event a conflict arises between the terms of any
Product Schedule and the Agreement, the terms of the Product Schedule shall
prevail.
3.2 Customer agrees to pay Acxiom for the Products in accordance with
the payment terms set forth in the Product Schedule. In the event of a good
faith dispute as to the calculation of an invoice, Customer shall immediately
give written notice to Acxiom stating the details of any such dispute and shall
promptly pay any undisputed amount. The acceptance by Acxiom of such partial
payment shall not constitute a waiver of payment in full by Customer of the
disputed amount.
3.3 Any undisputed amounts not paid within thirty (30) days of the date
of invoice shall accrue interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month or the
maximum lawful rate, whichever is less. Failure to make timely payments shall
constitute a default hereunder and shall entitle Acxiom, in its sloe discretion,
to suspend its provision of the Products and require payment in advance until
Customer's account is paid in full.
4. TITLE. Customer acknowledges that the Data contained within the Products
shall at all times remain the intellectual property of Acxiom or the third party

-----------------------------
Subsidiary of Customer desires to receive the Products from Acxiom, Customer and

Products, services and applicable fees related thereto to be licensed to such
Subsidiary by Acxiom.

------------
Product Schedule and except as expressly authorized in a Product Schedule,

------------------
writing and as applicable to the permitted uses set forth in the Product
Schedule, Acxiom shall automatically apply the Direct Marketing Association's
("DMA") Mail Preference Service and Telephone Preference Service suppression
files (the "Suppression Files") to any prospecting use of the Data not involving

receiving telemarketing, e-mail marketing and direct marketing solicitations by
suppressing such consumer information from Customer's marketing solicitations.

Inquiries that are determined to involve the accuracy of the Data. No reference
