9.1  LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.2, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING FROM ANY PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED
PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS.

9.2  YAHOO INDEMNITY. Subject to the limitations set forth below, Yahoo, at
its own expense, shall indemnify, defend (or at Yahoo's option and expense,

distributors and licensees (the "YAUK INDEMNIFIED PARTY(IES)") harmless from
and against any judgment, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses), whether required to be paid to a third party or otherwise incurred
in connection with or arising from any claim, suit, action or proceeding

to the extent the basis of such Claim is that:  (i) the Yahoo Properties
provided by Yahoo to YAUK infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of a
third party; (ii) Yahoo does not have the right to license the Yahoo
Properties as set forth herein; or (iii) Yahoo has breached any of its
duties, representations or warranties under this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Yahoo shall have no obligation to the YAUK Indemnified Parties
pursuant to this Section unless:  (x) YAUK gives Yahoo prompt written notice
of the Claim; and (y) in the case of third party claims, Yahoo is given the
right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense and
settlement of the Claim; and YAUK provides Yahoo with reasonable assistance

9.3  NO YAHOO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yahoo assumes no
liability for infringement claims arising from:  (i) a combination of the
Yahoo Properties or any part thereof with other Components not provided by

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.

9.4  YAHOO LIABILITY. If Yahoo receives notice of an alleged infringement
relating to the Yahoo Properties, Yahoo, at its option and expense, shall use
all reasonable efforts to:  (i) obtain a license at no cost to YAUK
permitting continued use of the Yahoo Properties on terms and conditions
consistent with the rights granted to YAUK hereunder; (ii) modify the
infringing portion of the Yahoo Properties to perform its intended function
without infringing third party rights; or (iii) provide a substitute for such
infringing portion.  If none of the foregoing options are reasonably
available to Yahoo, then upon written notice by Yahoo to YAUK, YAUK shall
thereupon take the necessary action to discontinue further distribution of
the Yahoo Properties to the extent that and only for so long as such use
would be infringing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in


                    [X] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), 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"),

such Claim is that:  (i) Yahoo U.K. or any Local Content (to the extent
distinct from Yahoo Properties provided by Yahoo to YAUK) infringe any:  (1)
patent; (2) copyright; (3) trade secret; or (4) trademark of a third party;
(ii) YAUK does not have the right to license the Local Content as set forth

(x) Yahoo gives YAUK prompt written notice of the Claim; and (y) in the case
of third party claims, YAUK is given the right to control and direct the
investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of the Claim; and Yahoo
provides YAUK with reasonable assistance in the defense or settlement
thereof; and PROVIDED FURTHER that if any settlement results in any ongoing
liability to, or prejudices or detrimentally impacts Yahoo or any Yahoo
Affiliate, and such obligation, liability, prejudice or impact can reasonably
be expected to be material, then such settlement shall require Yahoo's
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

may have its own counsel in attendance at all public interactions and
