SIGN MARKETING AGREEMENT Deal Makes it Easier for Students to Find Accredited College Courses Over the Internet VENICE, Calif. - August 16, 1999 - College Broadcast, the leading provider of broadband entertainment for college students, today announced an affiliate marketing agreement with eCollege.com, a leading provider of Internet education technology and services to educators for in-classroom and online learning. The agreement greatly expands students' online learning options to fulfill degree requirements. College Broadcast provides entertainment programming to students via high-speed Internet and college cable TV systems. Launching in September, College Broadcast's vertical broadband Internet portal (collegebroadcast.com) will feature an "eCollege.com Learning Channel" as a learning resource for students. On this channel, eCollege.com (ecollege.com) will provide students with information on a wide variety of courses and degrees available over the Internet, including how students can apply for eCollege.com sponsored scholarships for online courses and programs. With college campuses across the nation facing overflowing enrollments, college students often find it difficult to enroll in popular courses they need for their degree completion. The hundreds of online courses and degrees offered by eCollege.com's higher education partners give college students a flexible, convenient outlet for taking some of their courses via the Internet. Among the broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs available are courses in accounting, communications, sciences and religious studies, and many more. One of the key components of eCollege.com's value proposition to universities is its commitment to helping its partners increase enrollments in the courses and degrees they offer. As an affiliate partner, College Broadcast will be given financial incentives for helping refer college students to enroll in eCollege.com partner's courses. "Having been the first company to build and maintain a complete online university, eCollege.com is delighted to continue its long track record of innovation by partnering with College Broadcast," said Rob Helmick, CEO and founder of eCollege.com. "The new learning channel will help ensure the success of the courses we build with our higher education partners by making college students across the country aware of the new convenient options they have for efficiently fulfilling their degree requirements." "We view our partnership with eCollege.com as an opportunity to create a more well-rounded offering for college students and anyone who wants to extend their education beyond the college classroom," said Chet Lyons, CEO of College Broadcast.
