partners, who are under an obligation of confidentiality, on a "need-to-know"
basis; or (d) in connection with disputes or litigation between the parties
involving such Confidential Information and each party shall endeavor to

Information was disclosed; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the party disclosing such
third party Confidential Information shall first notify the other party that
such information constitutes third party Confidential Information and the
terms applicable to such third party Confidential Information and provided
further that any party may decline, in its sole discretion, to accept all or
any portion of such third party Confidential Information.

provided in Section 5.3, or (c) as otherwise expressly provided herein.

developed for it products, concepts, systems or techniques contemplated by or
embodied in such Confidential Information, provided that such recipient does
not violate any of its obligations under this Article VI in connection with
such development.

although the amount of the Fees is intended to be an arms length
consideration for the performance of Yahoo's obligations under the Agreement,
and that the Fees have been agreed in the course of real bargaining between
the parties, the parties shall review the services actually performed by
Yahoo under this Agreement at the time of Yahoo's performance thereof and, if
mutually agreed, will negotiate for the payment to Yahoo of additional fees
in excess of the Fees set forth in the attached EXHIBIT D.

Yahoo, at its own expense, shall indemnify, defend (or at Yahoo's option and
expense, settle,) and hold the Company and any Company Affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents, distributors and licensees (the
"COMPANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY(IES)") harmless from and against any damages and
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) awarded in a final adjudication or settlement, whether required to
be paid to a third party or otherwise incurred in connection with or arising
from any claim, suit, action or proceeding (collectively, a "CLAIM"), against
a Company Indemnified Party to the extent the basis of such Claim is that: 
(a) the Yahoo Properties infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of a third
party; or (b) Yahoo does not have the right to license the Yahoo Properties
as set forth herein.

          9.3.2 NO YAHOO LIABILITY.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yahoo
assumes no liability for infringement claims arising from:  (a) a combination
of the Yahoo Properties or any part thereof with other Components not
provided by Yahoo where such infringement would not have arisen from the use
of the Yahoo Properties or portion thereof absent such combination; (b)
modification of the Yahoo Properties or portion thereof by anyone other than
Yahoo or on its behalf where such infringement would not have occurred but
for such modifications; (c) continued infringing activity after the Company
has been notified of the infringement or informed of modifications that would
have avoided the infringement; (d) circumstances where the infringement is
incidental to an infringement arising primarily from the exercise of rights
other than those granted under this Agreement.

          9.3.3 YAHOO INFRINGEMENT LIABILITY.  If Yahoo receives notice of an
alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights relating
to the Yahoo Properties, Yahoo at its option and expense, shall use all
reasonable efforts to:  (a) obtain a license at no cost to the Company
permitting continued use of the Yahoo Properties on terms and conditions
consistent with the rights granted to the Company hereunder; (b) modify the
infringing portion of the Yahoo Properties to perform its intended function
without infringing third party rights; or (c) provide a substitute for such
infringing portion of the Yahoo Properties.  If none of the foregoing options
are reasonably available to Yahoo, then upon written notice by Yahoo to the
Company,

the Company shall thereupon take the necessary action to discontinue further
distribution of the infringing material to the extent that and only for so
long as such use would be infringing.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, THIS SECTION SETS FORTH THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF YAHOO WITH
RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

     9.4 COMPANY INDEMNITY AND LIABILITY. Subject to the limitations set
forth below, the Company, at its own expense, shall indemnify, defend (or at
the Company's option and expense, settle, provided that the Company provides
Yahoo with prior notice of any settlement that will significantly affect
Yahoo's rights hereunder) and hold Yahoo and any Yahoo Affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents, distributors and licensees (the
"YAHOO INDEMNIFIED PARTY(IES)") harmless from and against any damages and
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) awarded in a final adjudication or settlement, whether required to
be paid to a third party or otherwise incurred in connection with or arising
from any liabilities related to the operation of Yahoo! Korea (other than
those liabilities for which Yahoo is responsible pursuant to the terms of
Section 9.3.1), including, without limitation, any Claim against a Yahoo
Indemnified Party to the extent the basis of such Claim is that: (a) Yahoo!
Korea, any Enhancements, or any Local Content infringes any Intellectual
Property Rights of a third party or contain any material or information that
is erroneous, obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, violates any law or
regulation, is negligently performed, or that violates or breaches any duty
toward, or rights of any person or entity, including, without limitation,
rights of publicity, privacy or personality; (b) the Company does not have
the right to license the Local Content as set forth herein (other than as a
result of infringement by a Yahoo Property licensed to the Company by Yahoo
hereunder); (c) the Company has materially breached any of its duties,
representations or warranties under this Agreement; or (d) any products,
promotions or services of the Company or its Affiliates have resulted in any
consumer fraud, product liability, tort, breach of contract, injury, damage
or harm of any kind to any person or entity (other than as a result of
Content licensed to the Company by Yahoo hereunder). TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THIS SECTION SETS FORTH THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF THE
COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     9.5 PROCEDURE.  All indemnification obligations under this Section 9
shall be subject to the following requirements: (a) the indemnified party
shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim;
(b) the indemnified party shall permit the indemnifying party to assume and
control the defense of any action upon the indemnifying party's written
acknowledgment of the obligation to indemnify (unless, in the opinion of
counsel of the indemnified party, such assumption would result in a material
conflict of interest); and (c) the indemnifying party shall not enter into
any settlement or compromise of any claim without the indemnified party's
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In
addition, the indemnified party may, at its own expense, participate in its
defense of any claim.  In the event that the indemnifying party assumes the
defense of any such claim, the indemnifying party shall have no liability for
attorney's fees and costs incurred by the indemnified party.
