MAHWAH, New Jersey and SANTA CLARA, California, August 31 2006, 
Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. (LEA) and Atypon Systems, Inc. 
today announced that they will continue their partnership to 
deliver LEA Online, LEA's online publishing platform, to end 
users for an additional 5 years, as well as explore additional 
strategic electronic publishing initiatives that add further 
value for LEA's customers.

With Atypon as LEA's strategic technology partner, LEA Online 
will continue to be powered by Atypon Premium, the leading full 
service electronic publishing platform. Atypon Premium gives LEA 
complete control over all aspects of its business, from content 
upload to delivery, and flexible support of business models and 
outstanding marketing tools allow LEA to increase readership, 
impact, and revenue.

LEA chose to extend their relationship with Atypon not only 
because of the robust technology behind Atypon Premium, but also 
because of the high levels of reliable service that Atypon 
provides. LEA is particularly keen to continue the close working 
relationship it has established with its dedicated account and 
project management support team, and product experts from both 
companies are already collaborating to maintain LEA's position as 
a leader in academic publishing.

"I'm very pleased to announce the extension of our relationship 
with Atypon," said Joseph Petrowski, Executive Vice President, 
LEA. "We need a technology partner that is focused on the future. 
Atypon's sophisticated platform and devoted team have allowed us 
to achieve growth beyond our expectations. We're looking forward 
to setting the bar even higher and surpassing it again."

"As one of our long-standing clients, I am absolutely delighted 
that LEA has demonstrated their continued confidence in us in 
such a significant way," said Martin Marlow, Vice President of 
Sales & Marketing, Atypon. "I'm particularly excited about 
partnering on the future development of LEA's online presence. 
LEA is keen to discuss how we can help them and we have dedicated 
a team ready to do so."
