advertising to run in the online environments in which 2CAN Media places
those ad tags and (c) generate reports on such advertising. In addition,
IMGIS will maintain an AdForce server complex from which IMGIS will
electronically deliver advertising scheduled by 2CAN Media to the online
environments containing the ad tags placed by 2CAN Media and its
Clients. The delivery of "Impressions," defined as the transmission of
advertisements or other content by AdForce, will be verified by monthly
third-party audits of the AdForce service, conducted by the Audit Bureau
of Verification Services, Inc. or another third party chosen by IMGIS in
its sole discretion. The AdForce service includes targeting features as
listed in Exhibit B. The AdForce service includes a suite of standard
reports available in the AdForce system and listed in Exhibit B. Features

to, demographic and psychographic targeting; will be considered part of
