4.  Content.  Certain Insertion Orders might require Aristotle to provide text,

but not be limited to information that is otherwise contained in the Aristotle
Database and Demographic Information.  Aristotle hereby grants a limited license
to MatchLogic to use such Content, including the use of the Aristotle Database
and Demographic Information in connection with the Services to be provided
hereunder and for no other purpose.  Aristotle covenants that it holds the
necessary rights to the Content to permit MatchLogic, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, to perform its obligations free and
clear of any conflicting agreements, or any adverse claims or interests of any
person or party.  Aristotle will not publish, distribute or otherwise provide
MatchLogic for use hereunder any Content that:  (i) infringes or violates any
third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary
rights; (ii) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation, including
without limitation the laws and regulations governing export control; (iii) is
defamatory or trade libelous; (iv) is pornographic or obscene; or (v) contains
viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other similar harmful
or deleterious programming routines.  Aristotle will be solely responsible for
creating, editing, reviewing and delivering to MatchLogic the Content and
acknowledges that, by publishing or distributing the Content on Aristotle's
behalf, MatchLogic is acting as a passive conduit.  As such, MatchLogic will
have no obligation to Aristotle, and undertakes no responsibility, to review any
Content to determine whether any such Content may result in liability to third
parties.  In no event, however, may MatchLogic modify Content without
Aristotle's prior written consent.  If MatchLogic believes in its sole
discretion that any Content may create liability for MatchLogic or any third
party, or if any Content fails to conform to MatchLogic's policies, applicable
laws, or the public interest, MatchLogic may decline or cease to distribute such
Content and/or perform any related Services.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, MatchLogic shall (i) use commercially reasonable
efforts to disclose to Aristotle all changes to MatchLogic's then-standard
advertising policies, guidelines, rates and determinations of the "public
interest" that materially affect this Agreement, and to communicate such
decisions to Aristotle promptly and (ii) run all Advertisements that conform
with such policies, guidelines, and determinations.

    (a)  Aristotle Property.  Aristotle and its licensors shall retain all
         ------------------

<PAGE>

    (b)  Rights in Database.  All of the Demographic Information received from
         ------------------
         Aristotle shall remain the personal property of Aristotle, which shall
         retain all ownership, rights, copyrights, and Derivative Works in and
         to the Demographic Information and any copies thereof, in whole or in
         part, and MatchLogic shall have no rights to or in any part of such
         Demographic Information, copyrights, Derivative Works and copies
         thereof.

    (c)  MatchLogic User List and MatchLogic Intellectual Property.
         ---------------------------------------------------------

         limited to patents, patents pending, copyrights, trade secrets, source
         code and object code (the "Intellectual Property") used by MatchLogic
         in the provision of the Services (excluding the Aristotle Database, the
         Demographic Information and the Matched List) shall remain the property
         of MatchLogic, which shall retain all ownership, rights, copyrights,
         and derivative copyrights in and to the MatchLogic User List and the
         Intellectual Property and any copies thereof, in whole or in part, and
         Aristotle shall have no rights to or in any part of such MatchLogic
         User List or Intellectual Property except as expressly granted herein.
         MatchLogic hereby grants Aristotle a limited license to use the
         MatchLogic User List for the sole purpose of creating the Matched List.
         Upon completion the match, Aristotle shall return to MatchLogic all
         copies of the MatchLogic User List, the Matched List and the
         Intellectual Property in Aristotle's possession or control.

    (d)  Permitted Uses of the Demographic Information and Matched List. Subject
         --------------------------------------------------------------
         to the limitations provided herein, the Matched List shall be jointly
         owned by Aristotle and MatchLogic. MatchLogic shall be permitted to use
         the Demographic Information and Matched List (defined below) expressly
         for the purpose of Profiling to serve Targeted Advertisements for
         lawful uses, and for no other purpose. MatchLogic warrants and
         represents that no other uses or rights to utilize the Demographic
         Information are provided hereunder, and that it will not use any
         Demographic Information and the Matched List except for the purposes
         expressly permitted under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
         provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall MatchLogic
         utilize any Demographic Information or the Matched List for modeling,
                                                    ------------
         matching, profiling, internal research, analysis, or segmentation of
         MatchLogic's users or user base, except as expressly provided herein.
         Aristotle acknowledges and agrees that it shall not retain the Matched
         List for more than twenty (20) days after providing the Matched List to
                            ------  --
         MatchLogic.

    (e)  Impression Data.  The parties acknowledge that a by-product of the
         ---------------
         provision of certain Services is the impression and click through
         activity of end users, including without limitation user
         identifications and associated activities at a web site as well as
         pings and activity related to closed loop reporting ("Impression
         Data"). Impression Data will be jointly owned by the parties and each
         party hereby assigns to the other party a joint ownership interest in
         any right, title or interest it may have in the Impression Data.
         Derivative Works of Impression Data and any end user information
         including but not limited to profiles will be owned

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

         solely by the party that develops such Derivative Works; provided,
                                                                  --------
         however, that such Impression Data and Derivative Works of Impression
         -------
         Data will only be used for lawful purposes.

6.  Database Matching.  Promptly following the Effective Date, MatchLogic shall
deliver to Aristotle one (1) copy of the MatchLogic User List, which will be
                     ---  -
used by Aristotle for Matching against the Aristotle Database.  For purposes of
this Agreement, "Matching" shall mean the process of overlaying, matching,
vetting, coordinating or otherwise indexing the information contained in the
Aristotle Database with the information contained in the MatchLogic Database to
produce a list (the "Matched List") that could be used to send Targeted
Advertisements by MatchLogic on behalf of Aristotle or other third party clients
of MatchLogic.  Aristotle will promptly provide MatchLogic with a copy of the
Matched List, following which MatchLogic will load a copy of such list onto
MatchLogic's server(s) to be able to perform  the Services.  Once MatchLogic has
loaded a copy of the Matched List onto its server(s), Aristotle will destroy all
copies of the MatchLogic User List and the Matched List.

7.  Trademarks.  Neither party may issue any press releases or public statements
concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement except with the consent of
the other party or use the other party's trademarks, service marks, trade names,
logos, or other commercial or product designations (collectively, the "Marks")
for any purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Aristotle grants to MatchLogic a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use Aristotle's Marks as
reasonably required to perform the Services.  If Aristotle is an agency acting
on behalf of an advertiser, "Marks" shall refer to the advertiser's Marks, and
Aristotle represents to MatchLogic that it has all necessary authority to grant
MatchLogic such license.

8.  Confidential Information.

    (a)  Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
         ------------------------
         Information" means information about the disclosing party's (or its
         suppliers') business or activities that is proprietary and
         confidential, which shall include all business, financial, technical
         and other information of a party marked or designated by such party as
         "confidential" or "proprietary"; or information which, by the nature of
         the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought in good faith to be
         treated as confidential. Impression Data shall be considered the
         Confidential Information of MatchLogic.

    (b)  Exclusions. Confidential Information will not include information that
         ----------
         (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement,
         (ii) the receiving party lawfully receives from a third party without
         restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure
         obligation or (iii) the receiving party knew prior to receiving such
         information from the disclosing party or develops independently.

    (c)  Obligations. Each party agrees (i) that it will not disclose to any
         -----------
         third party or use any Confidential Information disclosed to it by the
         other except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or as necessary
         for either party to perform hereunder,

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         and (ii) that it will take all reasonable measures to maintain the
         confidentiality of all Confidential Information of the other party in
         its possession or control, which will in no event be less than the
         measures it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own information
         of similar importance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may
         disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent required by a court
         of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise
         as required by law or (ii) on a "need-to-know" basis under an
         obligation of confidentiality to its legal counsel, accountants, banks
         and other financing sources and their advisors.

    (a)  Term. This Agreement will be effective upon the Effective Date and will
         ----

         -----------
         Order in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or an

         automatically, with no further action of either party, if either party
         is adjudicated bankrupt, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy,
         makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, is unable to

         Confidential Information in its possession. At the expense of and in
         accordance with the other party's instructions, each party will
         promptly deliver such Confidential Information to the other party.

         certify to the other in writing that all copies of the Matched List and
         all Derivative Works therefrom in its possession or control have been
         destroyed. Payment for all Services performed prior to termination is

         due and payable within fifteen (15) days of termination by either party

following the Effective Date, Aristotle shall purchase from MatchLogic and
MatchLogic shall provide to Aristotle, not less than *** of Services. However,

Targeted Ad Management or E-Mail Data Product (the "Specialized Services") and
shall be purchased and paid for by Aristotle from MatchLogic in the fiscal

deliver a bona fide insertion order(s) to MatchLogic in an amount equal to the
Third Quarter Commitment, but MatchLogic fails to fill such purchase orders as a
result of MatchLogic, in its sole discretion, determining that it is unable or

In such case, Aristotle shall be required to purchase the remaining amount of
the Third Quarter Commitment not delivered in the Third Quarter during the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000. Further, notwithstanding any other

individually, or in the aggregate, represent a material purchase obligation
under this Agreement, (ii) MatchLogic, in its sole discretion, determines that
it is unable or unwilling to deliver the Specialized Services in response to
such Insertion Orders because of a change in policy or interpretation of an
existing policy with respect to the Specialized Services and (iii) such
inability materially frustrates the terms and purpose of this Agreement or (b)
if Aristotle does not complete its initial public offering on or before ***;
provided, however, that in such event, Aristotle shall pay MatchLogic
--------  -------
*** on or before ***, to compensate MatchLogic for its investment and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement. In the event that Aristotle elects
to terminate this Agreement under the immediately preceding sentence, it shall
have no further rights or remedies with respect to this Agreement.

                                    --------

Targeted Ad Management - This service involves MatchLogic (a) (i) using media
provided by Aristotle or (ii) using media purchased by MatchLogic, and (b)
setting up its ad servers for Foundation Targeting Campaigns, serving Targeted
Advertisements within specified dates, and providing daily reports on the total
campaign impressions (targeted and untargeted) and the click performance of ads
served.  Through its Targeted Ad Management services, MatchLogic is able to
change the ad rotation and introduce new ads (targeted and untargeted) to the
campaign based on clients' input.

Account Management - Account Managers serve as clients' primary contact and
liaison with MatchLogic.  Account Management participates in the development of
clients' strategic marketing vision, translates that strategy into marketing
plans and orchestrates the execution of those plans across a cross-functional
client team to deliver effective results.

DeliverE - This service enables clients to select variables based on demographic
and purchase intention criteria or based on a custom statistical model developed
by MatchLogic.  E-mail messages are sent to individuals that meet such criteria
and who have expressed a desire to receive e-mail messages from MatchLogic or
MatchLogic's partners in connection with relevant promotions, products or
services.  DeliverE is an effective way to acquire and maintain a powerful
business to business customer group.

Lead Generation - This service runs in connection with MatchLogic's dynamic
survey engine, involving follow-up e-mail messages that are sent to self-
qualified individuals immediately after they have registered for a DeliverE-
branded sweepstakes and favorably answered a survey question.

Co-branded Sweepstakes - Match Logic's Sweepstakes services include the creation
and legal bonding of the Sweepstakes promotion, management and delivery of
advertisements, tracking and reporting of responses, management of registrations
(either on-line or off-line), drawing and notification of winners.

ECRM E-Mail - This service enables clients to target email communications to
their customer base using variables and contact/response history data residing
in their CRM warehouse.  E-mail messages are sent to individuals that meet the
defined criteria and who have opted-in to receive e-mail messages from the
client with relevant promotions, products or services.  Messages can be
delivered as part of a targeted campaign or can be event-driven responses to
customer actions or inactions.  Data variables can be collected on-line,
imported from off-line databases/systems, or calculated (e.g., model &
                                                         ----
segmentation scores).  eCRM e-mail is an effective way to retain, upsell, cross-
sell, and reactivate customers by building 1-to-1 relationships with them.

E-Mail Data Product - This product involves MatchLogic's license of, to the best
of its knowledge, currently valid e-mail addresses of individuals who have,
through a legally valid consent, expressly permitted MatchLogic to share their
personal information with third parties for the purpose of sending targeted e-
mails.  Any E-Mail Addresses licensed by Aristotle hereunder, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, may be used by Aristotle for driving traffic to web
sites of persons or entities that have relationships with Aristotle, web sites
managed by Aristotle, or web sites maintained for Aristotle's customers in
accordance with the applicable terms and conditions set forth in Section 5 of
                                                                 ---------
Schedule C, attached hereto.
----------

MatchLogic will deliver with the E-Mail Data Product a report confirming that
each e-mail address is valid and deliverable as of the date of delivery.

Each email address to be delivered hereunder corresponds to an individual who
has opted-in to receiving e-mail correspondence from third parties, and shall
include, at a minimum, an email address, a physical address, an identity that
has been matched during the Matching, and self reported age of 18 years' or
older.  Each record has various levels of completion on all survey questions,
and the effective date of the data and responses to the questions will vary.

     not request it.  Aristotle covenants that it holds the necessary rights to
     permit MatchLogic's use of the e-mail addresses provided by Aristotle and
     that: all recipients whose e-mail addresses are provided by Aristotle have
     specified that they wish to receive email messages from or on behalf of
     Aristotle and to the best of Aristotle's knowledge, all such recipients are
     eligible for all offer(s) being delivered by MatchLogic on Aristotle's
     behalf.  Aristotle further covenants that it will not knowingly provide
     MatchLogic with any e-mail addresses of individuals who Aristotle knows or
     should reasonably know are under the age of 18; that Aristotle has read and
     understands MatchLogic's publicly posted privacy policy statement, and
     verifies that MatchLogic's use of the addresses being provided complies
     with such policy.  Aristotle will honor all opt-out requests (including
     unsubscribe requests) indefinitely, unless an individual chooses to opt-in
     (or re-subscribe) at a later date, and upon MatchLogic's request, Aristotle
     will provide to MatchLogic both the original opt-out date and the later
     opt-in date.  Prior to any eCRM Services being provided by MatchLogic,
     Aristotle will provide MatchLogic the then-most updated comprehensive list
     of all opt-out requests; and at least 24 hours prior to MatchLogic's
     sending of any messages to addresses provided by Aristotle, Aristotle will
     provide MatchLogic any updates to the comprehensive list of all opt-out
     requests.  Further, during the term of this Agreement, Aristotle will
     maintain an up-to-date list of all opt-out requests, including without
     limitation those which are a result of Aristotle's, MatchLogic's, and any
     third party's use of the addresses provided by Aristotle.
