business or operations of the Company (whether asserted, discovered or
established before or after the Closing), and whether or not it is the subject
matter of a claim or action disclosed in the Schedules to this Agreement; and
(e) All employment-refuted chime and causes of action, and all
other claims and causes of actions, that have arisen or arise out of in
connection with the operations of the businesses of the Company conducted prior
to the Closing (whether asserted, discovered or established before or after the
Closing).
Damages shall exclude any amount with respect to which

insurance policy which provides coverage for the liability to which such amount
relates.
8.2 Indemnification by Category 5. Category 5 shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Sellers, in respect of any and all chime, losses, costs,
expenses, liabilities, fines, penalties, interest, and damages (including

BOTTOMLINEIC5 V27102
promptly notify the other party or parties (the "indemnifying party") of the
claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim;
provided, that the indemnified party's failure to give such notice shall not
affect any rights or remedies of an indemnified party hereunder with respect to
indemnification for damages except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
materially prejudiced thereby. In the event of any claim for indemnification
hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by
a third party, the notice to the indemnifying party shall specify, if known, the
amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising there from. The
indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for
which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, without the prior written

unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the indemnifying party

indemnified party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding if
it acknowledges to the indemnified party in writing its obligations to indemnify
the indemnified party with respect to all elements of such claim, and thereafter
diligently conducts the defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to
the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in
(but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its
own expense. If the indemnifying party does not assume or fails to conduct in a
diligent manner the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom,
(i) the indemnified party may defend against such claim or litigation, in such
manner as it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, settling such
claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party,
on such terms as the indemnified party may deem appropriate, and (ii) the
ind~rmi~ party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense
of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the indemnifying
party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the indemnified party
defended such third party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement,
the indemnifying party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that the indemnified party did not defend or settle such third party
claim in a reasonably prudent manner. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with
the other, such cooperation to include, without limitation, attendance at
depositions and the provision of relevant documents as may be reasonably
requested by the indemnifying party; provided, that the indemr if party will
hold the indemnified party harmless from all of its expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such cooperation by the
indemnified party.
8.5 Manner of Indemnification. All indemnification hereunder
shall be effected by payment of cash or delivery of a certified or official bank
check to the indemnified party.

or (4) the Customer's use of the Web Site in the course of its business.
11.4 Procedure. In the event of a claim by a third party, with respect
to which a party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the party seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall notify the other party (the
"Indemnifying Party") as soon as practicable, but no later than 15 days after
receipt of notice of such claim; provided that a delay in or failure by the
Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that such
delay or failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to
defend such claim. The Indemnifying Party, at its sole expense, shall promptly
assume the defense of such claim using counsel of its own choosing and
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party
7

claim, including the settlement of the matter on the basis reasonably stipulated
by the Indemnifying Party (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all
costs and expenses of such defense and settlement, including the reimbursement
of the Indemnified Party's reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred
in providing information and assistance in connection therewith).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a conflict of interest exists vis-a-vis the
interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or the
Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend the claim with counsel of its own
choosing at the expense of, for the account of and at the risk of the
Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall engage
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, take reasonable steps
to monitor and control the fees and costs of counsel so chosen, and keep the
Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of such defense, including
any settlement proposals by the claimant. In addition, the Indemnified Party may
participate, in its sole discretion, in any claim using its own counsel at its
own expense.

other certain Confidential Information. Each party recognizes the claim of the
other party to the value and importance of the protection of the other party's

provided orally, is stated to be proprietary or confidential at the time of
disclosure, or, in the case of either written or oral information which is not
so marked or stated to be proprietary or confidential, would nonetheless
logically be considered proprietary or confidential under the circumstances of
its disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, information

the receiving party or its affiliates without any such restriction as the result
of disclosures by a third party which has the right to make such disclosure, or
(2) is already known to the receiving party or its affiliates at the time of
