For purposes of this Attachment C and this Agreement, the term "License Fees" shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) Siteman's then applicable published fees for licensing the Licensed Software or (ii) the amount actually paid by Clients either directly to Siteman or to iXL for a license or sublicense to use the Licensed Software; the term "Sales" shall mean all sales by iXL of the Licensed Software to iXL Clients from the Effective Date through and including December 31, 1999; and the term "Recurring Revenue" shall mean ongoing revenue (not including License Fees) in an amount equal to the greater of (a) Siteman's then applicable published rates or (b) the amount actually paid by Clients either directly to Siteman or to iXL, for hosting, access and content service fees relating to the Licensed Software that are derived from Sales closed by iXL from the Effective Date through and December 31, 1999. 1. SALES ON BEHALF OF SITEMAN.

[*] percent [*] of such Recurring Revenues for cumulative Recurring Revenues up to and including [*] Dollars [*]; and b. [*] percent [*] of such Recurring Revenues for cumulative Recurring Revenues over [*] Dollars [*]. 4. RECURRING REVENUES PAID TO iXL. For all Recurring Revenues paid by Clients to iXL rather than Siteman, iXL shall retain commissions equal to a percentage of all such Recurring Revenues actually received by iXL for the initial twelve (12) months of such Recurring Revenues as follows: a. [*] percent [*] of such Recurring Revenues for cumulative Recurring Revenues up to and including [*] Dollars [*]; and b.

As part of this arrangement, iXL and Siteman will also agree on additional collaborative methods (e.g., training, joint marketing, etc.) to motivate the iXL sales force to offer, license and sell the Licensed Software. 22 6. OTHER COMMISSIONS. iXL agrees to pay Siteman a [*] percent [*] finder's fee in connection with any services provided by iXL to Clients that are referred to iXL by Siteman (excluding iXL Clients and clients that are or were clients of iXL prior to such referral). The payment of such finders fee shall be the subject of a separate agreement between the parties to be negotiated within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. 7. MISCELLANEOUS. a. iXL is not entitled to and has no right to receive or retain any commissions, royalties or any other payment for (a) any sales of the Licensed Software by iXL or otherwise that do not constitute Sales (as defined in this Attachment C) or (b) any recurring revenues derived from any sales of the Licensed Software by iXL or otherwise that do not constitute Recurring Revenue (as defined in this Attachment C).

SCOPE OF ARBITRATION. All disputes between iXL and Siteman arising out of or relating to all royalty disputes and infringement disputes, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 ET SEQ., provided, however, that prior to filing a demand for arbitration, the parties shall attempt to resolve their disputes through negotiation, and, if the dispute remains unresolved, by non-binding mediation, as provided in this Attachment E. Any mediator or arbitrator utilized by the parties under this Agreement must have ten (10) years experience intellectual property disputes and have experience in the software and internet industries. 2. MEETING BEFORE ARBITRATION. In the event there is a dispute arising out of or relating to a payment dispute or infringement dispute, the parties first shall attempt to resolve the dispute by negotiations between senior executives of the parties who have authority to settle the controversy. The disputing party shall give the other party written notice of the dispute. Within twenty days after receipt of said notice, the receiving party shall submit a written response to the disputing party. The notice and response shall include (a) a statement of each party's position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting its position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party. The executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty days after the date of receipt of the disputing party's notice and, after that, as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter is not resolved within sixty days after the receipt of the disputing party's notice, or if the party receiving said notice will not meet within thirty days, then either party may initiate mediation of the dispute according to the terms provided below. 3. MEDIATION BEFORE ARBITRATION. In the event the dispute is not resolved by negotiation as provided in the preceding paragraph, then, prior to filing a demand for arbitration, either party shall, if it still wishes to resolve the dispute, refer the dispute to mediation, I.E., an informal, non-binding conference or conferences between the parties in which a mediator will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the dispute. The mediation shall take place in San Francisco, California, if requested by iXL, and shall take place in Atlanta, Georgia if requested by Siteman. The mediation shall be conducted under the auspices of the J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE "JAMS" office in the city where the mediation is to be conducted, or, if JAMS has no office in that city, under the auspices of the JAMS office closest to the city where the mediation is to be conducted. The parties are free to select any mutually acceptable mediator from the list provided by such JAMS office. If the parties cannot agree or have no particular choice of mediator, then a list and resumes of available mediators will be sent to the parties, each of whom shall inform JAMS of those mediators who are acceptable, provided that at least one such mediator shall be designated acceptable. JAMS shall then select a mediator who is acceptable to both parties. The mediation shall occur within sixty days after the request for mediation. The fees and costs of the mediation shall conform to the then current fee schedule at JAMS and, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, shall be borne equally by each party. 25 4. ARBITRATION. If the dispute is not finally resolved within thirty days after the first day of the mediation, then either party may demand arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted under the auspices of JAMS. An arbitration demanded by iXL shall take place in San Francisco and an arbitration demanded by Siteman shall take place in Atlanta, Georgia. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by iXL and Siteman, under the JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect on the Effective Date of the Agreement, except that the parties shall have any right to discovery as would be permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for a period of ninety days following the selection of the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall resolve any dispute which arises in connection with such discovery. The fees and costs of JAMS and the arbitrator shall, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, be borne equally by each party. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The award shall not include, and the arbitrator shall not have the power to award, any damages or relief which are excluded by the Agreement. 5. EXCLUSION OF REQUEST FOR INTERIM INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Notwithstanding this Attachment E, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim injunctive relief, as may be necessary to protect such party's intellectual property rights and confidential and trade secret information. 26 ATTACHMENT F COMPETITORS OF SITEMAN "Competitor" means any entity that (a) manufactures, markets, sells, distributes or operates e-commerce solutions that include substantially the same functionality as the Licensed Software or (b) is engaged in the business of the development and maintenance of Web authoring and template tools for multiple Web site management. 27
