    GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS - 2000 ADVANCE BANNER ADVERTISING PURCHASE

Advertiser acknowledges that the sole obligation of Excite Inc. ("Excite") is to
display an advertising banner (the "Banner") from Advertiser which conforms to
the specifications set forth elsewhere in the insertion order (the insertion
order and these General Terms and Conditions are referred to collectively herein
as the "Agreement"). In this regard, Advertiser agrees that (i) Excite has the
right to market, display, perform, transmit and promote the Banner, and (ii)
users of Excite's services have the right to access and use the Banner and any
content and/or services directly linked to the Banner (the "Advertiser Web
Content").

Advertising will be invoiced monthly on the first of each month, and payment in
full will be due upon receipt of the invoice. Payment for all Gaming, Tobacco,
or Alcohol Advertisers will be due and paid in advance in monthly installments.
The first monthly payment must be paid prior to the display of the first of the
Banners. Subsequent monthly installments will be due and must be paid on the
first of each month thereafter. Advertiser understands that once this Agreement
is executed there shall be no refunds or proration of rates or monthly
installment payments if Advertiser elects to discontinue display of the Banner
prior to the expiration of the advertising term. Orders are accepted subject
to the terms and provisions of the current rate card. Advertising rates set
forth in the rate card are subject to change; any rate changes will apply to any
additional advertising services requested by Advertiser after such rate change.


Under no circumstances shall Excite be liable to the advertiser for indirect,
incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages (even if such damages
are foreseeable, and whether or not Excite has been advised of the possibility
of such damages) arising from any aspect of the advertising relationship
provided for herein. Excite shall in no event be liable to Advertiser for more
than the total amount paid to Excite by Advertiser hereunder. Excite makes no
representations, and hereby expressly disclaims all warranties, express or
implied, regarding Excite's services or any portion thereof, including any
implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and
implied warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Excite specifically disclaims
any warranty regarding (i) the number of persons who will access the Banner and
(ii) any benefit Advertiser might obtain from including the banner within
Excite's Web site.

Advertiser is solely responsible for any legal liability arising out of or
relating to the Banner and/or the Advertiser Web Content. Advertiser represents
and warrants that (1) the Banner complies with Excite's advertising standards;
(2) Advertiser holds the necessary rights to permit the use of the Banner by
Excite for the purposes of this Agreement (3) the use, reproduction,
distribution or transmission of the Banner will not violate any criminal laws,
rules or regulations or any rights of any third parties, including, but not
limited to, such violations as infringement or misappropriation of any
copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, music, image, or other proprietary
or property right, false advertising, unfair competition, defamation, invasion
of privacy or rights of celebrity, violation of any anti-discrimination law or
regulation, or any other right of any person or entity; (4) neither the Banner
nor the Advertiser's Web Content shall advertise or enable the sale of alcohol
to persons under 21; (5) neither the Banner nor the Advertiser's Web Content
shall advertise or enable the sale of tobacco or tobacco products to persons
under 21; and (6) Advertiser's Web Content complies with all laws, rules and
regulations of the state, country or territory in which it is located.
Advertiser agrees to indemnify Excite and to hold Excite harmless from any and
all liability, loss, damages, claims, or causes of action, including reasonable
legal fees and expenses that may be incurred by Excite, arising out of or
related to Advertiser's breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties.

Excite reserves the right to reject any advertising which is not consistent with
Excite's standards. In addition, Excite shall have the right, at any time, to
remove any of Advertiser's advertising and/or terminate this agreement if Excite
determines, in its sole discretion, that the Banner, Advertiser Web Content or
any portion thereof (1) violates Excite's then applicable advertising policy;
(2) violates any law, rule or regulation or if Excite is directed to do so by
any law enforcement agency; or (iii) is otherwise objectionable to Excite, in
which event Excite shall refund to Advertiser a pro rata portion of the fee
which Advertiser has paid to Excite for display of the Banner (if Advertiser has
paid Excite a flat fee).

Excite and Advertiser are independent contractors, and neither Excite nor
Advertiser is an agent, representative or partner of the other. Excite may
terminate this Agreement at any time in the event of material breach of this
Agreement by Advertiser. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between
Advertiser and Excite, and supersedes any and all prior agreements (whether
written or oral) of Excite and Advertiser with respect to the subject matter set
forth herein; provided, however, that all pricing will be governed by Excite's
then-current rate card, whether in print or electronic form. This Agreement may
only be modified, or any rights under it waived, by a written document executed
by both parties. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in
all respects in accordance with laws of the State of California, without regard
to the actual state or country of incorporation or residence of Advertiser.
Advertiser hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of California and the federal courts situated in the State
of California in connection with any action arising under this Agreement.
Advertiser may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part.
