                       CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
              CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
                    THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

ADFORCE/TM/SERVICE                                           GEOCITIES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This service agreement for the AdForce service (the "Agreement") is entered into
between IMGIS, Inc., a California corporation ("IMGIS"), with offices at 10101
N. DeAnza Blvd., Suite 210, Cupertino, CA 95014 and GEOCITIES, a California
corporation ("GEOCITIES") with offices at 1918 Main Street, 3rd Floor, Santa
Monica, CA 90405.

1.  ADFORCE SERVICE DEFINITION. The AdForce service is an Internet advertising
    --------------------------                                                
    administration system that will allow GEOCITIES to manage advertising on its
    Web site and/or similar on-line service. As part of the AdForce service,
    IMGIS will provide GEOCITIES with the AdForce "client" software application
    ("Application Software"), with which GEOCITIES will be able to (a) generate
    ad tags, (b) schedule advertising to run in the online environments in which
    GEOCITIES places those ad tags and (c) generate reports on such advertising.
    IMGIS will maintain an AdForce server complex from which IMGIS will
    electronically deliver advertising scheduled by GEOCITIES to the online
    environments containing the ad tags placed by GEOCITIES. IMGIS will complete
    development of, and will make available to GEOCITIES by [***], a "Hybrid
    Service" which will allow GEOCITIES to direct Impressions (defined below) to
    be delivered from the AdForce server complex ("Central Delivery") or IMGIS
    servers located on GEOCITIES' site ("Local Delivery"). As part of the Hybrid
    Service, IMGIS will provide GEOCITIES with the client and server software
    needed to use the Hybrid Service ("Hybrid Service Software," collectively
    the "Hybrid Service Software" and the "Application Software" are referred to
    herein as the "Licensed Software"). The "Hybrid Service" is part of the
    AdForce Service as defined in this Section 1 and referred to in this
    Agreement. In addition, the Hybrid Service will be capable of
    instantaneously providing Local Delivery of ads to all ad tags in the event
    that the AdForce server complex becomes disabled, inoperative, or otherwise
    inaccessible to GEOCITIES. GEOCITIES recognizes that certain functions
    available as part of the Central Delivery service will not be available in
    the Local Delivery service. IMGIS acknowledges and agrees that its failure
    to make the Hybrid Service available to GEOCITIES by [***] will
    significantly reduce the benefits GEOCITIES' expects to receive under this
    Agreement. Because it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to
    determine the exact amount of GEOCITIES' damages in such event, IMGIS and
    GEOCITIES agree that, as compensation to GEOCITIES for any such loss of the
    benefit of its bargain hereunder, rather than as a penalty to IMGIS, the
    fees of the AdForce service (Local Delivery and Central Delivery) set forth
    in Schedule A shall be reduced $[***] for each day, up to a maximum of [***]
    or $[***] total reduction, after [***] that IMGIS fails to make available to
    GEOCITIES the Hybrid Service in the form described in this Section 1. Fees
    will return to the amounts specified in Schedule A as soon as the Hybrid
    Service is made available to GEOCITIES. Additionally, if IMGIS fails to make
    the Hybrid Service available by [***], GEOCITIES may terminate this
    Agreement and GEOCITIES shall be entitled to recover from IMGIS all damages
    that GEOCITIES incurs, due to such failure, provided that IMGIS' liability
    for such damages shall not exceed the amount in aggregate paid by GEOCITIES
    for the AdForce service during the [***] of prior to termination. The
    foregoing reduction in AdForce Service fees and early termination privilege
    shall be GEOCITIES' sole remedy for failure by IMGIS to make the Hybrid
    Service available by [***] and [***], respectively. The delivery of
    "Impressions," defined as the transmission of advertisements from the
    AdForce server complex or an IMGIS server located on GEOCITIES' site to an
    AdForce ad tag, will be verified by [***] third-party audits of the AdForce
    service, conducted by the Audit Bureau of Verification Services, Inc. or
    another independent third party chosen by IMGIS. This audit is included in
    all levels of the AdForce service and, upon completion of an audit, IMGIS
    will provide GEOCITIES with the results of the audit. Central Delivery
    includes targeting features as listed in Exhibit B. Central Delivery
    includes the capability of generating a suite of standard reports listed in
    Exhibit B, but do not include custom reports that may be requested by
    GEOCITIES. Local Delivery service includes targeting features as listed in
    Exhibit D. Local Delivery service includes the capability of generating a
    suite of standard reports listed in Exhibit D, but do not include custom
    reports that may be requested by GEOCITIES. New features of the AdForce
    service will, at the sole discretion of IMGIS, either be incorporated into
    the then-current level of the AdForce service provided to GEOCITIES
    hereunder, or will be offered to GEOCITIES as an additional service subject
    to additional fees. IMGIS will notify GEOCITIES of new AdForce service
    features. IMGIS will implement and make available to GEOCITIES, within [***]
    following the Effective Date, the AdForce+ service. AdForce+ will enable
    GEOCITIES to target advertising to specific end users based upon end-user
    demographic characteristics, as further described in Exhibit C, which is
    incorporated herein by this reference. The terms and conditions of the
    AdForce+ service will be set forth in a separate written agreement to be
    entered into by the parties.

2.  LEVEL OF ADFORCE SERVICE.  IMGIS will provide the functionality for the
    ------------------------                                               
    AdForce service as described in section 1 and Exhibits B and C, as well as
    live telephone customer support from the hours of 6am to 6pm Pacific Time,
    Monday-Friday, excluding major holidays and 7-day-a-week, 24-hour-a-day
    access to IMGIS technical support via pager.
  
    2.1 LEVELS OF MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.  IMGIS will exercise its reasonable
        ---------------------------------                                     
        efforts, but not less than the level of effort that IMGIS uses for other
        customers receiving the AdForce Service without payment of additional
        consideration specifically for purposes of such maintenance and support,
        to correct errors in the Application Software, other software used to
        operate the AdForce server complex or the IMGIS servers located on
        GEOCITIES' site or hardware provided or used by IMGIS to provide the
        AdForce service at the following Response Times: (i) Support Call (Level
        1); response time [***], patch or work-around [***], fixed or documented
        in [***], (ii) Support Call (Level 2); response time [***], patch or
        work-around within [***], fixed or documented in [***]; (iii) Support
        Call (Level 3); [***], problem documented and input for consideration in

ADFORCE/TM/SERVICE                                           GEOCITIES AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


        [***]. For purposes of this Agreement, "Response Time" means the elapsed
                                                -------------
        time between the receipt of a service call and the time when IMGIS
        begins work on a fix or workaround for the error.
  
    2.2 SERVICE LEVEL WARRANTY.
        ---------------------- 
  
       (i)   INABILITY TO ACCESS THE ADFORCE SERVICE (DOWNTIME). In the event
             --------------------------------------------------
             (i) of a material failure of the AdForce service (either Local
             Delivery or Central Delivery) to deliver images to ad requests
             within the GEOCITIES Website for more than [***] in a calendar
             month or (ii) the elapsed time from receipt of an ad request to
             delivery of an image by the AdForce service (via either Local
             Delivery or Central Delivery) in response to such ad request is
             greater than [***], taken as an average over any [***] period, (a
             "Failure") and GEOCITIES notifies IMGIS of such Failure and IMGIS
             determines in its reasonable judgment that such Failure was caused
             by IMGIS' inability to provide the AdForce service for reasons
             within IMGIS' reasonable control and not as a result of any actions
             or inactions of GEOCITIES or any third parties (including
             GEOCITIES' equipment and third party equipment), IMGIS will not
             charge GEOCITIES, and GEOCITIES shall have no obligation to pay any
             AdForce service fees during the [***] period immediately following
             resumption of the AdForce service. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
             the occurrence of a Failure over a [***] period for (a) [***] or
             more [***] or (b) [***] during any [***] period shall be deemed a
             material breach of this Agreement and, in such event, GEOCITIES may
             terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 below.
             Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IMGIS provides GEOCITIES with not
             less than [***] notice of a proposed cessation of the AdForce
             service for the purpose of making specified improvements thereto (a
             "Cessation") and GEOCITIES consents in writing to such proposed
             Cessation, then such Cessation shall not be deemed to constitute a
             Failure, provided that (1) the Cessation does not exceed [***] in
             duration and (2) no more than [***] occurs in any [***] period.
  
       (ii)  DEGRADATION OF CENTRAL DELIVERY: In the event that the elapsed time
             --------------------------------
             from initial access of the AdForce server complex to accurate
             selection of an advertisement for Central Delivery ("Access Time")
             is greater than [***], taken as an average over any [***] period
             ("Degraded Service"), then IMGIS shall not charge GEOCITIES, and
             GEOCITIES shall have no obligation to pay, any AdForce service fees
             for such [***] period. Access Time shall be monitored by a
             designated IMGIS server configured to model the AdForce Service's
             access and transmission of advertisements to IMGIS' Internet
             service provider ("Designated Server"). The results of such
             monitoring shall be provided to GEOCITIES as part of the AdForce
             reporting service. Additionally, if the elapsed time from initial
             access of the AdForce server complex to accurate selection of an
             advertisement for Central Delivery is greater than [***], taken as
             an average over any [***] period ("Degraded Service"), IMGIS shall
             not charge GEOCITIES, and GEOCITIES shall have no obligation to
             pay, any AdForce service fees for a period of [***] beginning with
             such [***] period. If the elapsed time from the accurate selection
             of an advertisement, based upon a test 10 kilobyte advertisement,
             from the AdForce server complex to the Designated Server is greater
             than [***], taken as an average over a [***] period ("Degraded
             Service"), IMGIS shall not charge GEOCITIES, and GEOCITIES shall
             have no obligation to pay, any AdForce service fees for a period of
             [***] beginning with such [***] period. Notwithstanding the
             foregoing, the occurrence of Degraded Service over a [***] period
             for (a) [***] or more [***] or (b) [***] during any [***] period
             shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and, in such
             event, GEOCITIES may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9
             below.

       (iii) TIME TO DISCOVER FAILURE OF ADFORCE SERVICES; NOTIFICATION OF
             -------------------------------------------------------------
             GEOCITIES. Within [***] of discovering the existence of a Failure
             ---------
             of the AdForce service, IMGIS will use reasonable efforts to
             determine whether the source of the Failure is limited to
             GEOCITIES' equipment ("GEOCITIES Specific Failure"). If the failure
             is not a GEOCITIES Specific Failure, IMGIS will use reasonable
             efforts to determine the source of the failure within [***] after
             determining that it is not a GEOCITIES Specific Failure. In any
             event, IMGIS will use reasonable efforts to notify GEOCITIES of the
             source of the Failure within [***] after first identifying the
             source.
       
       (iv)  RESOLUTION OF FAILURE.  IMGIS will use reasonable efforts to remedy
             ---------------------                                              
             GEOCITIES Specific Failures within [***] of determining the source
             of the GEOCITIES Specific Failure provided that GEOCITIES provides
             reasonable cooperation and access to equipment and software located
             on GEOCITIES site. IMGIS will use reasonable efforts to remedy
             failures caused within the IMGIS server complex or the IMGIS
             servers on GEOCITIES' site or other IMGIS hardware or software
             ("IMGIS Specific Failure") within [***] of determining the source
             of the failure provided that GEOCITIES provides reasonable
             cooperation and access to equipment and software located on
             GEOCITIES site. IMGIS will use reasonable efforts to notify
             GEOCITIES if the Failure is caused by other than an IMGIS Specific
             Failure and IMGIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to
             notify the party(ies) responsible for the source of the Failure and
             will cooperate with it (them) to resolve the Failure as soon as
             possible.

       (v)   FAILURE TO DETERMINE SOURCE AND/OR RESOLVE FAILURE.  IMGIS will
             --------------------------------------------------
             credit GEOCITIES' account for every [***] after the time periods
             described above that it takes IMGIS to provide a remedy for an
             IMGIS Specific Failure. The amount of credit shall be [***]
             incurred by GEOCITIES [***] during the [***].

3.  OBLIGATIONS OF GEOCITIES.  GEOCITIES agrees to implement the ad tags as
    ------------------------                                               
    described in the AdForce User Guide and Help documentation provided to
    GEOCITIES. GEOCITIES also agrees to schedule all advertising for GEOCITIES'
    Web sites or on-line properties using the IMGIS-provided "Application
    Software." If GEOCITIES chooses to have IMGIS execute insertion and change
    orders on behalf of GEOCITIES, GEOCITIES agrees to supply IMGIS with the
    information necessary to schedule GEOCITIES' ad campaigns at least [***] in
    advance of campaign initiation or modification. Should the average file size
    of GEOCITIES' Central Delivery advertisements exceed [***], as determined by
    IMGIS on a monthly basis, GEOCITIES agrees to pay the incremental fee listed
    in Exhibit A to compensate for higher bandwidth costs. GEOCITIES agrees to
    provide IMGIS with non-binding, 12-month volume forecasts of the number of
    Impressions anticipated by GEOCITIES to be delivered using the AdForce
    service on a rolling monthly basis. GEOCITIES agrees to provide IMGIS with
    reasonable access to GEOCITIES' facilities for purposes of implementing and
    supporting the Hybrid Service. GEOCITIES shall not export or re-export, or
    allow the export or re-export of the Licensed Software, without complying
    with all applicable export laws, restrictions, national security controls
    and regulations of the United States and all applicable foreign agencies and
    authorities.
  
4.  OWNERSHIP/LIMITATIONS ON USE.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
    ----------------------------                                              
    Agreement, IMGIS hereby grants to GEOCITIES, contingent on timely payment of
    monies due to IMGIS hereunder, a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as
    expressly permitted under section 10) license for the term of this Agreement
    to use the Licensed Software in connection with the AdForce service. IMGIS
    shall have the sole and exclusive ownership of all right, title and interest
    in and to the Licensed Software and the AdForce service, any enhancements
    thereto and in any materials and data provided to GEOCITIES by IMGIS.
    GEOCITIES may not sublicense the AdForce service. GEOCITIES may not copy
    (other than copying into RAM), modify, alter, sell, distribute or sublicense
    the Licensed Software or reverse assemble, reverse compile or otherwise
    attempt by any other method to create or derive the source programs of the
    AdForce service or the Licensed Software, nor authorize or contract with
    third parties to do the same. During the course of providing the AdForce
    Service, IMGIS will collect and maintain general statistical information,
    including but not limited to information pertaining to the number of
    advertisements delivered, response times, user's IP address, cookie, browser
    type and operating system, as well as the time, date and ad tag of a
    request, but excluding information revealing the identity of individual
    users, individual credit card, debit card, bank account, electronic currency
    or similar information and other transaction or user specific data ("User
    Information"). IMGIS may include User Information in IMGIS' logs and
    databases and use such User Information, as aggregated with other data and
    information collected by IMGIS and maintained in such logs or databases, for
    its internal business purposes only. IMGIS will provide GEOCITIES with raw
    data of the User Information, upon GEOCITIES' request, and will provide
    GEOCITIES with reports, included with GEOCITIES' selected level of service,
    of the User Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
    elsewhere in this Agreement, IMGIS agrees that it shall not, either during
    the term of this Agreement, or thereafter, disclose to third parties or
    otherwise disseminate, publish, reproduce, or use or permit the
    dissemination, publication, reproduction or use of any of the User
    Information in a manner that is in any respect inconsistent with the terms
    and conditions pursuant to which GEOCITIES obtained the User Information, as
    such terms and conditions may be set forth in GEOCITIES' privacy statement
    (as it exists from time to time) or elsewhere.

5.  CONFIDENTIALITY.  It is agreed that all GEOCITIES' passwords used in
    ---------------                                                     
    connection with AdForce user guides, the Licensed Software, and the AdForce
    "help" documentation, whether on-line or in printed form, are the
    confidential information of IMGIS. It is also agreed that any account
    information relating to GEOCITIES' business, customers, products, technology
    and information and data input into the AdForce service by GEOCITIES,
    including, without limitation, advertiser contact and billing information,
    and any and all confidential or proprietary information disclosed to or
    learned by IMGIS while IMGIS employees or implementation of the Hybrid
    Service is confidential information of GEOCITIES. Each party shall not use,
    disclose or reproduce any confidential information of the other party
    without the consent of the party providing said information, except for any
    information, data or material which: (a) at the time of disclosure to the
    receiving party was known or in the possession of the receiving party
    without restriction; (b) is independently developed by the receiving party;
    (c) is generally available to the public without any breach of this
    Agreement by the receiving party. GEOCITIES acknowledges and agrees that
    disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to anyone outside of GEOCITIES
    (except attorneys and accountants of GEOCITIES) may create substantial
    business damage to IMGIS and hereby agrees to keep the terms of this
    Agreement strictly confidential .
  
6.  INDEMNIFICATION.  (a) Subject to subsection (b), GEOCITIES shall defend,
    ---------------                                                         
    indemnify and hold harmless IMGIS from any and all third party claims and
    liability and damages and costs (including reasonable court costs and
    attorney's fees) arising out of or relating to advertising placed by
    GEOCITIES using the AdForce service, including, without limitation, libel,
    invasion of privacy, and rights of publicity claims arising from the content
    of such advertising, provided that: (i) IMGIS promptly notifies GEOCITIES of
    such claims; (ii) GEOCITIES has sole control of the defense and settlement
    of such claims and is not responsible for any settlement that it does not
    approve in writing; and (iii) IMGIS renders all reasonable assistance
    required at GEOCITIES' expense, (b) IMGIS shall defend, indemnify and hold
    harmless GEOCITIES from any and all third party claims and liabilities and
    damages and costs (including

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    reasonable court costs and attorneys fees) for infringement of third party
    intellectual property rights arising out of or relating to GEOCITIES' use of
    the Licensed Software and/or the AdForce service pursuant to this Agreement,
    provided that: (i) GEOCITIES promptly notifies IMGIS of such claims; (ii)
    IMGIS has sole control of the defense and settlement of such claims and is
    not responsible for any settlement that it does not approve in writing; and
    (iii) GEOCITIES renders all reasonable assistance required at IMGIS'
    expenses. If an injunction is entered against GEOCITIES' use of the Licensed
    Software or the AdForce service or GEOCITIES' use of the Licensed Software
    or the AdForce service is likely to be enjoined, IMGIS will, at its option
    and sole expense, (A) obtain a license permitting such use, (B) modify the
    Licensed Software or the AdForce service to avoid the infringement but
    maintaining equivalent performance, functionality and compatibility, or (C)
    if it cannot reasonably do either of the foregoing, terminate GEOCITIES'
    licensing to the Licensed Software and promptly refund fees paid by
    GEOCITIES for the last thirty days of service, but not to exceed the cost in
    aggregate incurred by GEOCITIES in obtaining replacement ad delivery
    services from another provider.
  
7.  WARRANTY.  GEOCITIES warrants that GEOCITIES is free to enter into this
    --------                                                               
    Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
    obligation of GEOCITIES, enforceable in accordance with its terms. IMGIS
    represents and warrants that IMGIS is free to enter into and perform this
    Agreement and, except for events beyond IMGIS' control including but not
    limited to Internet access outages and other events of force majeure, (a)
    the AdForce service (excluding components of the GEOCITIES network and third
    party hardware and software not provided by IMGIS) will materially conform
    to the functionality described in section 1 except to the extent that the
    performance of the AdForce service is materially affected by components of
    the GEOCITIES network and third party hardware and software not provided to
    IMGIS; (b) IMGIS either owns, has, or will otherwise acquire the right (and
    will, during the term hereof maintain such right) to use all hardware and
    software components of the AdForce service and the Licensed Software and
    will not infringe on any right or interest (intellectual property or
    otherwise) of any third party.
  
    EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 7, IMGIS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL
    WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY AND ALL
    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-
    INFRINGEMENT, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
  
8.  LIABILITY.  NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,
    ---------

AdForce+ is IMGIS' proprietary database targeting service, designed to provide
one-to-one addressable on-line advertising.  IMGIS has secured multi-year,
exclusive data agreements with both Marketing Information Technologies, a leader
in targeted print advertising, and Metromail, a $400 million, consumer
demographic data compiler.  These relationships position IMGIS to exclusively
leverage the unique, one-to-one marketing capabilities of the Internet.
Traditional consumer databases alone, however, do not provide the key to unlock
the demographic information on the Internet because there is no mapping from
terrestrial world data to the Internet.  AdForce+ provides this map by linking
on-line registration files and ISP login information to IMGIS' 3rd party
demographic databases.
