ENTER EXCLUSIVE BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP CheckOut.Com Leverages Entertainment Boulevard's More Than 2,000 Streaming Music Videos and Becomes Exclusive Commerce Provider to Entertainment Boulevard LOS ANGELES - July 26, 1999 - CheckOut.com, the highly anticipated entertainment and e-commerce destination, today announced an extensive business deal with Entertainment Boulevard, Inc. (entertainmentblvd.com), one of the leading providers of streaming entertainment-related media on the Internet. Under the agreement, CheckOut.com will become the exclusive commerce provider for music, videos and games for the Entertainment Boulevard network of sites. In addition, Entertainment Boulevard will become CheckOut.com's exclusive provider for more than 2,000 music videos and one of the largest libraries of movie trailers on the Web, all available at speeds of up to 300K. This partnership is a powerful step towards broadband and e-commerce convergence. While users are watching music videos from top artists such as The Backstreet Boys and TLC on Entertainment Boulevard's extremely popular Pop-Up Player, they can also access product and content information on CheckOut.com's more 350,000 artist pages. For example, while checking out the "Baby, One More Time" music video from Britney Spears, users can go directly to the Britney Spears artist page at CheckOut.com and find a complete listing of the artist's current CDs, biography, news features, product reviews, chat, links to other sites pertaining to the artist on the Web, among other features. "CheckOut.com's partnership with Entertainment Boulevard brings the broadband revolution one-step closer to convergence with online commerce and content," said Richard Wolpert, partner in charge of Internet and technology ventures for The Yucaipa Companies. "This is not only a huge benefit for users seeking comprehensive online entertainment, but also an endorsement for the broadband movement." "Our goal has always been to present the Entertainment Boulevard users with the most entertaining online experience possible," said Entertainment Boulevard CEO Stephen Brown. "This alignment with CheckOut.com affords our users the opportunity to link to a strictly entertainment-oriented destination for in-depth content and commerce when they make purchases or seek artist information. As a result, this partnership should reap exceptional results." Under the terms of the partnership, CheckOut.com and Entertainment Boulevard have entered into a revenue sharing agreement. Also, Entertainment Boulevard will integrate CheckOut.com commerce links throughout their sites and on their pop-up video players that they license to third parties.
