Company Press Release

fourthchannel Selects Exodus to Host Its
ASP Operations

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27,
2000--E-commerce Applications Services Provider (ASP) fourthchannel today continued to
strengthen its Internet commerce offerings by announcing it has teamed with Exodus
Communications(TM), Inc. (Nasdaq:EXDS - news), a leader in complex Internet hosting and
managed services.

According to the agreement, Exodus® will host servers and provide the infrastructure for
fourthchannel`s rapidly growing ASP operations. Exodus will also provide security, data
backup, and monitoring services to fourthchannel customers, enabling fourthchannel to offer
its customers greater bandwidth with unmatched reliability and security.

``Exodus provides fourthchannel with a first-tier hosting enterprise,`` said Jonathan York,
fourthchannel`s chairman and CEO. ``This new, robust hosting environment gives our
mid-sized customers the same environment for their e-commerce solutions as Fortune 500
companies have built internally.``

This agreement also gives fourthchannel a unique advantage over competing firms. ``ASP
hosting makes e-commerce for the mid-market both possible and profitable,`` York added.
``Leveraging Exodus` hosting strength makes fourthchannel`s profitlaunch(TM) the most robust
ASP e-commerce solution for the mid-market.``

``fourthchannel is providing a much-needed service to its customers by offering them the
ability to `rent` the profitlaunch e-commerce solution through ASP deployment,`` said Ellen M.
Hancock, president and CEO of Exodus. ``But with the growing complexity of Web sites,
managing the explosive growth of Internet ASP operations is neither the most efficient, nor
most cost-effective use of the company`s internal resources. By selecting Exodus to host its
operations, fourthchannel can focus on its strengths and move closer to its goal of becoming
the pre-eminent provider of e-commerce to the mid-market.``

The profitlaunch Solution

fourthchannel`s profitlaunch e-commerce system is proving to be a superior solution for
mid-market manufacturing and distribution companies. These companies can rent the
e-commerce service via ASP delivery at a predictable cost, avoiding the high startup
expenses for software licenses, staffing, and IT infrastructure associated with a
customer-hosted environment.

Built from the beginning for the Internet, profitlaunch presents an attractive interface with
intuitive navigation. The product also ensures that non-technical marketing or sales people can
easily manage the company`s catalog information using only a Web browser. Wizards
automate tasks like adding products or changing prices, and profitlaunch can be deployed in
30 days or less using fourthchannel`s rapidchannel delivery process.
