(“Walnut”) in allowing Walnut to [ * ] the [ * ] the Overture Results for display by [ * ] and that Overture shall be entitled to enforce the terms of [ * ] agreement with Walnut as a third party beneficiary thereto.

 

2. Term: The term of the [ * ] Agreement with Walnut shall be for a minimum of [ * ]; provided, however, that Overture may terminate Walnut Ventures’ right to [ * ] the Overture Results to [ * ] at any time in accordance with the terms of Overture’s agreement with Walnut.

 

3. Implementation of Overture Results: “Overture Results” means those results delivered by Overture in response to a search query (either through an Internet search box or a click on a HotSpot (“HotSpots” means words and/or phrases provided by Overture for use on a specific web page that are hyperlinked to Overture Results)) conducted on [ * ] Web site by a human end user (as opposed to ‘bots, metaspiders, macro programs, Internet agents or any other automated means) (“Search Queries”). [ * ] agrees to implement the Overture Results that are displayed on [ * ] Web site in accordance with Overture’s specifications for the format, presentation, display and placement, as provided by Overture from time to time and otherwise in accordance with [ * ] agreement with Walnut. The Overture Results displayed by [ * ] shall be the first search results on the page, have the same look and feel as all other displayed search results, include the URL, full title and description, and shall have consistent characteristics, including left and right margins, text size, color, font, heading, shading/background, spacing, blank areas, length, existence of URL, and all other aspects of “look and feel.” [ * ]. At a minimum, [ * ] complete Overture Results must appear Above the Fold. The number of Overture Results for each query will be determined by Overture and [ * ] agrees to display all Overture Results together without any other content of any kind between such Overture Results. [ * ] agrees not to modify any aspect of the Overture Results (including the data contained therein), and agrees to ensure that the Overture Results appear in the order provided by Overture.

 

4. Searches: The Overture Results will be provided only in response to Search Queries.

Without limiting anything contained above, [ * ] agrees not to provide Overture Results to any users or direct users to any web page containing Overture Results by means of any computer or browser functionality or by means of any web page not owned by [ * ] or explicitly approved by Overture. [ * ] shall not allow any of the following to occur: [ * ]. In addition, [ * ] shall not do any anything on any web page containing an Overture Result that blocks any portion of a user’s view of such Overture Result (including, without limitation, pop-up windows).

 

6. [ * ]: [ * ] For purposes of this Acknowledgment Letter, “Paid Result” means anything that responds to an Internet search query for which the review, cataloging, collection, maintenance, display, indexing, ranking, or other activity is paid regardless of the method by which that payment is counted, whether cost per click, cost per action, cost per impression, pay for placement, paid inclusion, or otherwise, excluding traditional banner advertising units and non-dynamic buttons (provided that such banners, buttons and third-party advertisements do not respond to keyword searches or queries with content related to specific keyword searches or queries). In the determination of whether a response to a query is a “Paid Result”, it does not matter whether the [ * ] directly receives payment (i.e., if an advertiser pays for a response, then such response is a Paid Result). [ * ] shall send all Search Queries to Overture.

 

7. No Modification/Termination: [ * ] will not terminate or modify the terms of its agreement with Walnut without Overture’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that [ * ] may terminate or modify the terms of its agreement with Walnut without Overture’s prior written consent in the event that Overture either terminates its agreement with Walnut or terminates the distribution of Overture Results to [ * ]. In the event that [ * ] terminates its [ * ] Agreement with Walnut following a material breach of the [ * ] Agreement by Walnut, then, at Overture’s option, [ * ] shall enter into an agreement with Overture for Overture to provide the Overture Results, which is similar in all material respects to the agreement between Overture and Walnut.

 

8. Overture’s Performance: Overture’s duty for the delivery of Overture Results and for all other Overture obligations are provided for in Overture’s Agreement with Walnut (and any amendment(s) thereto).

 

WHEREFORE, [ * ] acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in this Acknowledgment Letter.
