the Company) or Section 3.8 (as to FDMS) with respect to any individual Third-
-----------
Party Reseller has the first right, but not the obligation, to enter into an
agreement with such Third-Party Reseller for the distribution of the Electronic
Commerce Tools and Gateway services, provided that if the party providing such

Services and the Marketing Services: (i) in a professional and workmanlike
manner in accordance with the highest applicable industry standards; (ii)
in compliance with all Development and Operational Services and Marketing
Services obligations and specifications set forth in this Agreement and its
exhibits; and (iii) so that the technology used in connection with the
Stuff Site and Mall Site is considered leading technology relative to other
shopping portals and Internet mall hosting providers. In furtherance of
the foregoing, FDMS may elect, at its sole cost and expense, no more
frequently than twice in any twelve (12) month period, to cause a third
Person to review and benchmark the technologies used in the Stuff Site and
Mall Site to ensure that the same is equal to or better than the top ten
percent (10%) of all providers of similar services. FDMS and the Company
shall promptly agree on the identity of a third Person to perform such
review and benchmark services.
6.1.2 If any review and benchmark reveals that the technology does
not meet the foregoing standards, and such failure substantially impairs
the ability of FDMS to: (i) service its current customers using the
Development and Operational Services provided by the Company hereunder; or
(ii) add additional customers to use the Development and Operational
Services, FDMS shall notify the Company of the same, and the fees payable
by FDMS hereunder shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) commencing upon
the Company's receipt of the notice of the failure provided by FDMS and
ending on the date on which either: (a) the parties agree that such
failure has been cured; or (b) an Arbitration Panel determines that such
failure has been cured. If the Company fails to remedy such failure within
six (6) months after FDMS' notification to the Company of the same, the
Company shall pay FDMS for all reasonable conversion costs and expenses
incurred by FDMS and its Affiliates associated with the deconversion of
FDMS Merchants.
6.2 Primary Shopping Sites. The Stuff Site and Mall Site shall be the

---------
Services, Electronic Commerce Tools, and Company Software are and shall remain
year 2000 compliant in that:

without error or interruption due solely to the change in century, in any
level of computer hardware, software
or services, including, microcode, firmware, system and application
programs, files, databases and computer services;
6.5.2 there will be no loss of functionality of any of the foregoing
due solely to the change in century, with respect to the introduction,
processing or output of records containing dates falling on or after
January 1, 2000; and
6.5.3 on and after January 1, 2000, all of the foregoing will
continue to be interoperable, in the same manner as they are prior to
January 1, 2000, with software and hardware that may deliver records to,
receive records from or interact with the foregoing in the course of
processing data, provided that such other software and hardware uses a
--------
century windowing or interpretive approach (with a pivot year of 50).

---------------
purpose of promoting, advertising or selling goods or services unrelated to the
Mall Site without first obtaining FDMS' written approval.

that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
any rights of such indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent the Company
or FDMS, as applicable, is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
By delivering written notice to such indemnified Person within 15 days after
receipt of such indemnified Person's notice, the Company, or FDMS may, as
applicable, or upon written request of such indemnified Person shall, assume the
defense of such claim at its sole expense through counsel reasonably

applicable, shall permit such indemnified Person to participate in such
settlement or defense through counsel selected by such indemnified Person at
such indemnified Person's expense; and (iii) the Company or FDMS, as applicable,

counsel to defend such claim or if such indemnified Person shall have reasonably
concluded (with the written advice of counsel) that the position of such
