1.   INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the term of this
Agreement, Exodus will provide to Customer the services described in the
Internet Data Center Services Order Form(s) ("IDC Services Order Form(s)")
accepted by Exodus, or substantially similar services if such substantially
similar services would provide Customer with substantially similar benefits
("Internet Data Center Services"). All IDC Services Order Forms accepted by
Exodus are incorporated herein by this reference, each as of the Submission Date
indicated in such form.

2.   FEES AND BILLINGS.

     2.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees due according to the IDC Services
Order Form(s).

     2.2 Billing Commencement. Billing for Internet Data Center Services, other
than Setup Fees, indicated in the initial IDC Services Order Form shall commence
on the earlier to occur of (i) the "Installation Date" indicated in the initial
IDC Services Order Form, regardless of whether Customer has commenced use of the
Internet Data Center Services, unless Customer is unable to install the Customer
Equipment and/or use the Internet Data Center Services by the Installation Date
due to the fault of Exodus, then billing will not begin until the date Exodus
has remedied each fault and (ii) the date the "Customer Equipment" (Customer's
computer hardware and other tangible equipment, as identified in the Customer
Equipment List which is incorporated herein by this reference) is placed by
Customer in the "Customers' Area" (the portion(s) of the Internet Data Centers,
as defined in Section 3.1 below, made available to Customer hereunder for the
placement of Customer Equipment) and is operational. All Setup Fees will be
billed upon receipt of a Customer signed IDC Services Order Form. In the event
that Customer orders additional Internet Data Center Services, billing for such
services shall commence on the date Exodus first provides such additional
Internet Data Center Services to Customer or as otherwise agreed to by Customer
and Exodus.

     2.3  Billing and Payment Terms. Customer will be billed monthly in advance
of the provision of Internet Data Center Services, and payment of such fees will
be due within thirty (30) days of the date of such Exodus invoices. All payments
will be made in U.S. dollars. Late payments hereunder will accrue interest at a
rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month, or the highest rate allowed
by applicable law, whichever is lower. If in its judgement Exodus determines
that Customer is not creditworthy or is otherwise not financially secure, Exodus
may, upon written notice to Customer, modify the payment terms to require full
payment before the provision of Internet Data Center Services or other
assurances to secure Customer's payment obligations hereunder.

     2.4  Taxes. All payments required by this Agreement are exclusive of all
national, state, municipal or other governmental excise, sales, value-added,
use, personal property, and occupational taxes, excises, withholding taxes and
obligations and other levies now in force or expected in the future, all of
which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes
based on Exodus' net income.

3.   CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS.

     3.1 Compliances with Law and Rules and Regulations. Customer agrees that
Customer will comply at all times with all applicable laws and regulations and
Exodus' general rules and regulations relating to its provision of Internet Data

     (c)  Naming Exodus as an Additional Insured. Customer agrees that prior to

provider(s) to name Exodus as an additional insured and notify Exodus in writing
of the effective dates thereof.

4.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

     4.1 Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that it will have
access to certain confidential information of the other party concerning the
other party's business, plans, customers, technology, and products, including
the terms and conditions of this Agreement ("Confidential Information").
Confidential Information will include, but not be limited to, each party's
proprietary software and customer information. Each party agrees that it will
not use in any way, for its own account or the account of any third party,

Information and will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality
of such information.

of this Agreement by the receiving party; or (iv) is independently developed by
the receiving party.

5.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     5.1 Warranties by Customer.

     (a) Customer Equipment. Customer represents and warrants that it owns or
has the legal right and authority, and will continue to own or maintain the
legal right and authority during the term of this Agreement, to place and use
the Customer Equipment as contemplated by this Agreement. Customer further
represents and warrants that its placement, arrangement, and use of the Customer
Equipment in the Internet Data Centers complies with the Customer Equipment
Manufacturer's environmental and other specifications.

     (b) Customer's Business. Customer represents and warrants that Customer's
services, products, materials, data, information and Customer Equipment used by
Customer in connection with this Agreement as well as Customer's and its
permitted customers' and users' use of the Internet Data Center Services
(collectively, "Customer's Business") does not as of the Installation Date, and
will not during the term of this Agreement operate in any manner that would
violate any applicable law or regulation.

     (c) Rules and Regulations. Customer has read the Rules and Regulations and
represents and warrants that Customer and Customer's Business are currently in
full compliance with the Rules and Regulations, and will remain so at all times
during the term of this Agreement.

     (d) Breach of Warranties. In the event of any breach, or reasonably
anticipated breach, of any of the foregoing warranties, in addition to any other
resolution available at law or in equity, Exodus will have the right
immediately, in Exodus' sole discretion, to suspend any related Internet Data
Center Services if deemed reasonably necessary by Exodus to prevent any harm to
Exodus and its business.

5.2  Warranties and Disclaimers by Exodus.

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>   2
     5.2(a) Service Level Warranty. In the event Customer experiences any of the
following and Exodus determines in its reasonable judgement that such inability
was caused by Exodus' failure to provide Internet Data Center Services for
reasons within Exodus' reasonable control and not as a result of any actions of
inactions of Customer or any third parties (including Customer Equipment and
third party equipment), Exodus will, upon Customer's request in accordance with
paragraph (iii) below, credit Customer's account as described below:

     (i) Inability to Access the Internet (Downtime). If Customer is unable to
transmit and/or receive information from Exodus' Internet Data Center (i.e.,
Exodus' LAN and WAN) to other portions of the Internet because Exodus failed to
provide the Internet Data Center Services for more than fifteen (15) consecutive
minutes, Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rata connectivity charges
(i.e., all bandwidth related charges) for one (1) day of service per each
consecutive minute increment, up to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity
charges for seven (7) days of service in any one calendar (1) month. Exodus'
scheduled maintenance of the Internet Data Centers and Internet Data Center
Services, as described in the Rules and Regulations, shall not be deemed to be a
failure of Exodus to provide Internet Data Center Services. For purposes of the
foregoing, "unable to transmit and receive" shall mean sustained packet loss in
excess of 50% based on Exodus' requirements.

     (ii) Packet Loss and Latency. Exodus does not proactively monitor the
packet loss or transmission latency of specific customers. Exodus does, however,
proactively monitor the aggregate packet loss and transmission latency within
its LAN and WAN. In the event that Exodus discovers (either from its own efforts
or after being notified by Customer) that Customer is experiencing packet loss
in excess of one percent (1%) ("Excess Packet Loss") or transmission latency in
excess of 120 milliseconds round trip time (based on Exodus' measurements)
between any two Internet Data Centers within Exodus' U.S. network (collectively,
"Excess Latency", and with Excess Packet Loss "Excess Packet Loss/Latency"), and
Customer notifies Exodus (or confirms that Exodus has notified Customer), Exodus
will take all actions necessary to determine the source of the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency.

          (A) Time to Discover Source of Excess Packet Loss/Latency;
Notification of Customer. Within two (2) hours of discovering the existence of
Excess Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine whether the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency is linked to the Customer Equipment and the Exodus
equipment connecting the Customer Equipment to Exodus' LAN ("Customer Specific
Packet Loss/Latency"). If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is not a Customer
Specific Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine the source of the Excess
Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours after determining that it is not a
Customer Specific Packet Loss/Latency. In any event, Exodus will notify Customer
of the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within sixty (60) minutes after
identifying the source.

          (B) Remedy of Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency remedy is within the sole control of Exodus, Exodus will remedy the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours of determining the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is caused from
outside of the Exodus LAN or WAN, Exodus will notify Customer and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party(ies) responsible for the
source and cooperate with it (them) to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

          (C) Failure to Determine Source and/or Resolve Problem. In the event
that Exodus is unable to determine the source of and remedy the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency within the time periods described above (where Exodus was solely in
control of the source), Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rata
connectivity charges for one (1) day of service for every two (2) hours after
the time periods described above that it takes Exodus to resolve the problem, up
to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7) days of
service in any one (1) month.

     (iii) Customer Must Request Credit: To receive any of the credits described
in this section 5.2(a), Customer must notify Exodus within five (5) business
days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a credit. Failure to
comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer's right to receive a credit.

     (iv) Remedies Shall Not Be Cumulative; Maximum Credit: In the event that
Customer is entitled to multiple credits hereunder arising from the same Event
(An Event is hereby defined as a single period of 15 minutes of Downtime.), such
credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive only
the maximum single credit available for such event. In no event will Exodus be
required to credit Customer in any one (1) calendar month connectivity charges
in excess of seven (7) days of service. A credit shall be applied only to the
month in which there was the incident that resulted in the credit. Customer
shall not be eligible to receive any credits for periods in which Customer
received any Internet Data Center Services free of charge.

     (v) Termination Option for Chronic Problems: If, in any single calendar
month, Customer has accumulated a total of seven (7) hours of Downtime, then,
Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause and without penalty by notifying
Exodus within five (5) days following the end of such calendar month. Such
termination will be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by
Exodus.

This warranty does not apply to any Internet Data Center Services that expressly
exclude this warranty (as described in the specification sheets for such
products). This Section 5.2(a) states Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for
any failure by Exodus to provide Internet Data Center Services.

     (b) No Other Warranty. Except for the express warranty set out in
subsection (a) above, the Internet Data Center Services are provided on as "as
is" basis, and Customer's use of the Internet Data Center Services is at its own
risk. Exodus does not make, and hereby declaims, any and all other express
and/or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement and title,
and any warranties arising from a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.
Exodus does not warrant that the Internet Data Center Services will be
uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.

     (c) Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third
Parties. Exodus does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from Exodus'
Internet Data Centers and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in
large part on the performance of internet services provided or controlled by
third parties. At times, actions or inactions caused by these third parties can
produce situations in which Exodus' customers' connections to the Internet (or
portions thereof) may be impaired or disrupted. Although Exodus will use
commercially reasonable efforts to take actions it deems appropriate to remedy
and avoid such events, Exodus cannot guarantee that they will not occur.
Accordingly, Exodus declaims any and all liability resulting from or related to
such events.

6.   LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

     6.1 Personal Injury. Each representative and any other persons visiting
this Internet Data Centers does so at its own risk and Exodus assumes no

     6.2 Damage to Customer Equipment or Business. Exodus assumes no liability
for any damage to, or loss relating to, Customer's business resulting from any

customers. Exodus assumes no liability for any damage to, or loss of, any

of, the Customer Equipment for any reason, such liability will be limited solely
to the then-current value of the Customer Equipment.

     6.3 Exclusions. Except as specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, in no event

Customer's Business or otherwise, and any lost revenue, lost profits,
replacement goods, loss of technology, goods or services, incidental, punitive,
indirect or consequential damages, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use
of service or of any Customer Equipment or Customer's Business, even if advised
of the possibility of such damages, whether under theory of contract, tort
(including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

     6.4 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
agreement, Exodus' maximum aggregate liability to Customer related to or in
connection with this agreement will be limited to the total amount paid by
Customer to Exodus hereunder for the prior twelve (12) month period.

     6.5 Customer's Insurance. Customer agrees that it will not perfect any
claims against Exodus for any liability Exodus may have under or relating to
this Agreement until Customer first makes claims against Customer's insurance
provider(s) and such insurance provider(s) finally resolve(s) such claims.

     6.6 Basis of the Bargain; Failure of Essential Purposes. Customer
acknowledges that Exodus has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in
reliance upon the limitations of liability and the disclaimers of warranties and
damages set forth herein, and that the same form an essential basis of the
bargain between the parties. The parties agree that the limitations and
exclusions of liability and disclaimers specified in this Agreement will survive
and apply even if found to have failed of their essential purposes.
