requested and authorized by the parties to revise the foregoing restrictions to
include the maximum restrictions allowable under applicable law. Each of the

acknowledges that such Trade Secrets are a valuable and unique asset and
agree to take all reasonable measures to preserve the confidentiality of the

such disclosure is required by law. For purposes of this Agreement, "Trade
Secrets" means all know-how, trade secrets, confidential information, subscriber
and visitor lists, business and product plans, hardware and software designs and

process technology, plans, drawings, and blue prints, owned, used or licensed
(as licensor or licensee) by Xxxx Xxxxx.
In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Xxxx Xxxxx of any provision
of this Section 6, the Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive or other
equitable relief, restraining such party from engaging in conduct that would
constitute a breach of the obligations of Xxxx Xxxxx under this Section. Such
relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies that may
be available, including an action for the recovery of damages.

(1) any and all Unassumed Liabilities;
(2) any misrepresentation, breach of representation or

7.4 Procedure for Indemnification.
(1) Third Party Claims. If any claim is made against a party
(an "Indemnified Party") that, if sustained, would give rise to a liability of
another party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Agreement (a "Third Party
Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly, and in any case within ten (10)
business days of its receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, cause notice
of the Third Party Claim to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party along with
all of the facts, information or materials relating to such claim of which the
Indemnified Party is aware (the "Claim Notice"), provided however, that failure
to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided
hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually
prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) calendar days
after delivery thereof to elect, in writing to the Indemnified Party,
to defend or settle the Third Party Claim, at its own expense. Until
written notice electing to defend or settle any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party may take, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
any action it reasonably believes necessary to preserve its rights with
respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not
assume the defense of any claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend
against such Third Party Claim in such manner as it deems appropriate
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
(ii) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the
defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which counsel must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that all
Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim jointly
acknowledge to the Indemnified Party its right to indemnity pursuant
hereto in respect of the entirety of such claim and provide assurances
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying
Parties will be financially able to satisfy such claim in full if it is
decided adversely. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof (except as hereinafter provided), but shall continue to pay for
any expenses of investigation or any Damage suffered. If the
16
Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel, at its own expense (except as hereinafter provided), separate
from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if (a) the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party within ten (10) business days of any Claim
Notice, or (b) legal counsel for the Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party that there are or may be legal defenses available to
the Indemnified Party or to other Indemnified Parties which are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying
Party, which, if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party were
to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a conflict of
interest for such counsel or prejudice prosecution of the defenses
available to such Indemnified Party, or (c) if the Indemnifying Party
shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim and fails to diligently
and vigorously prosecute such defense in a timely manner after due
notice, then in each such case the Indemnified Party, by notice to the
Indemnifying Party, may employ its own counsel and control the defense
of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel employed by
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall be promptly
reimbursed for any such fees, charges and disbursements, as and when
incurred. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party
control the defense of any Third Party Claim, the parties hereto shall
cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the
retention and provision to the counsel of the controlling party of
records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third
Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material
provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim (other than any
such Third Party Claim in which criminal conduct is alleged) without
the Indemnified Party's consent if such settlement, compromise or
discharge (x) constitutes a complete and unconditional discharge and
release of all Indemnified Parties, and (y) provides for no relief
other than the payment of monetary damages and such monetary damages
are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and in all other cases may
not so settle without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party.
(2) Claims by the Purchaser or Claims by the Seller. In the
event the Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party
that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly
cause notice of such claim to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party. If the
Indemnifying Party (i) does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15)
calendar days after the Indemnified Party's notice that it disputes such claim
17
or (ii) notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute such claim, the
amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed as a liability of the
Indemnifying Party under Section 7.1. If the Indemnifying Party has timely
disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the parties will proceed in
good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute, and if not resolved within
twenty (20) business days, shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties
to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's
decision in any court having jurisdiction.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Broker's Fees. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants

RECITALS
A. Buyer and Seller have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated
March 17, 2003 (the "Purchase Agreement") under the terms of which Buyer has
agreed to purchase certain technologies of Seller, all as more fully set forth
and described in the Purchase Agreement.

consummating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Noncompetition.
1.1 Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of five (5) years
from the date hereof, Seller will not engage in or carry on, directly or
indirectly, any business in competition with the business of Buyer relating to
the technologies that are the subject of the Purchase Agreement but only for as
long as such like business is carried on by (i) Buyer or any subsidiary or
affiliate of Buyer or (ii) any person or entity deriving title from Buyer of
the technologies, in any county in which Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates conduct business, or in any other county or state of the United

hereof and ending upon final adjudication (including appeals) of such action.

that for purposes of such proceeding such time limitation shall be deemed
reduced to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants. If,
in any judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to enforce all of the

necessary to protect the business and goodwill of Buyer, it is expressly
understood and agreed between the parties hereto that for purposes of such
proceeding the geographic area, scope of business or other aspect shall be
deemed reduced to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants.

agreements among them respecting the subject matter of this Agreement.

executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effecting during
the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof

invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore,
in lieu of such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision, there shall be
added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in nature
