Parties intend that, notwithstanding any variance in the application of laws

           ------------------------
the other Primary Party written notice in the event that it knows or has reason
to believe that the Licensed Technology or any Buy.Com Mark is being infringed
in the Territory, either directly or indirectly, by any third party, and the
Primary Parties shall consult with each other with a view to determine the
course of action, if any, to be taken.  In said event, Buy.Com, at its sole cost
(including attorneys fees and expenses) shall have the first right, but not the
obligation, to take action against such infringement including, without
limitation, the prosecution of a lawsuit.  Should Buy.Com elect not to take any
action against the infringement within sixty (60) days of written notice thereof
by Licensee, then Licensee may take such action as it deems appropriate at its
sole cost and expense.  Both Licensee and Buy.Com will provide such non-
financial assistance as reasonably requested by the other in prosecuting the
infringement including, but not limited to, appearing as a nominal plaintiff.
Upon receipt of appropriate written vouchers or receipts, the Primary Party
taking action shall reimburse the other Primary Party for its reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.  The Primary Parties
agree that all recoveries and awards that may be obtained as a result of any
such action shall be

           ------------------------              ------------
Party will indemnify, defend and hold the other Primary Party (and its
respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries and Affiliates)
harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, suits,
proceedings, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
resulting from or arising out of any third party claim to the extent that such
claim results from or arises out of the operation of the business of the other,
including, but not limited to, all consumer claims of any kind.

           ----------------------------

officers, directors, agents, employees subsidiaries and Affiliates) harmless
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) to the extent
resulting from or arising out of any claim that the Licensed Technology as
provided by Buy.Com to Licensee or any Upgrade as provided by Buy.Com to
Licensee infringes any third party copyright or misappropriates any third party
trade secret.

           10.3.2   Licensee will indemnify, defend and hold Buy.Com (and its
officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries and Affiliates) harmless
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) to the extent

including, without limitation, Licensee's and/or any Sublicensee's integration
of the Licensed Technology with any Modification thereof or Licensee Technology
or combination of the Licensed Technology with any software, technology,
hardware, processes, product or other property not provided by Buy.Com, or any
Licensee Modification as provided by Licensee to Buy.Com infringes any third
party copyright or misappropriates any third party trade secret.

     10.4  Exclusions.  The obligations of the Primary Parties set forth in
           ----------
Section 10.3 do not apply to any alleged infringement or misappropriation to the
------------
extent based on continued use by the other Primary Party of the allegedly
infringing Licensed Technology, Update or Licensee Modification, as applicable,
after the Indemnifying Party (as defined in Section 10.5 below) has informed the
                                            ------------

investigation, preparation, defense and settlement thereof by the Indemnifying
Party; and such reasonable cooperation by the Indemnified Party, at the
Indemnifying Party's request and expense, in the defense of the claim. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of a claim
by the Indemnifying Party with counsel of the Indemnified Party's choice at the
Indemnified Party's expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the

                    ----------------------------------
determination by Licensee that it and its Sublicensees will abandon all use of
the Licensed Technology and each Modification thereof (only to the extent that
such Modification is a derivative work of any Licensed Technology or otherwise
incorporates any Licensed Technology), Licensee may terminate this Agreement by

that either Primary Party materially or repeatedly defaults in the performance
of any of its obligations under this Agreement (each a "Breach") and fails to

nonpayment) after being given written notice (pursuant to Section 14.6) of the
                                                          ------------

                    ------------------
Breach other than nonpayment and is unable using its Best Efforts to cure that
Breach within sixty (60) days after being given the Breach Notice ("Migration

Breach Notice, Licensee shall use its Best Efforts to ascertain whether such
Breach is a Migration Breach and, if so, the period of time during which such
Migration Breach can be cured using Licensee's Best Efforts to cure (the

and, in any event, no later than forty five (45) days following the date of the
Breach Notice, Licensee shall provide Buy.Com written notice of its election to
invoke the provisions of Section 11.2.4. Licensee may invoke the provisions of

agents, employees, subsidiaries and Affiliates) harmless from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) resulting from or arising out of any

11.2.3 and its full compliance with this Section 11.2.4, in the event of a
------                                   --------------
Migration Breach, Licensee may continue to use the Licensed Technology and/or
Buy.Com Marks in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (to
the fullest extent they can be complied with given the Migration Breach) up
until the end of the Required Cure Period set forth in any Final Migration Plan
(as defined below). Licensee shall use its Best Efforts to prepare and provide
Buy.Com as soon as possible and, in any event, within forty five (45) days of
the Breach Notice, a written migration plan that specifies in detail the
circumstances material to the Migration Breach, including, without limitation,
the nature and extent of the Migration Breach, the entities and persons involved
in the Migration Breach and the causes of the Migration Breach, as well as
Licensee's best estimate of the Required Cure Period (the "Draft Migration

materials and cooperation as Buy.Com reasonably requests in connection with such
Migration Breach and Draft Migration Plan.  After receiving the Draft Migration
Plan, Buy.Com shall have the option of either accepting or rejecting that Draft
Migration Plan, in its sole discretion.  If Buy.Com accepts the Draft Migration
Plan it shall inform Licensee of that acceptance through written notice and upon
such written notice of acceptance, the Draft Migration Plan shall become
effective and binding on the Primary Parties as the "Final Migration Plan."  If
Buy.Com should reject the Draft Migration Plan it shall inform Licensee of that
rejection through written notice and upon such written notice of rejection,

Migration Plan.  If the Principal Parties are unable to agree upon a Final
Migration Plan within ten (10) days of such rejection notice provided by
Buy.Com, the Principal Parties hereby submit for resolution in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 12.2 whether the Breach at issue is a
                            ------------
Migration Breach (if in dispute) and the period of time that shall constitute
the Required Cure Period under a Final Migration Plan.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, the Principal Parties hereby agree and stipulate, and hereby
waive all rights to assert or argue to the contrary, that the Required Cure
Period for the Migration Breach (whether agreed upon by the parties or
established through the procedures set forth in Section 12.2) shall be shorter
                                                ------------
than eight (8) months from the date of the Breach Notice.  Immediately upon the
expiration of the Required Cure Period, the Agreement will terminate
automatically.

           11.2.5   Insolvency.  A Primary Party may terminate this Agreement if
                    ----------
the other Primary Party ceases to conduct its business or becomes insolvent,
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, fails to pay its
obligations when they become due, or in the event of the institution under any
applicable law of any voluntary or involuntary insolvency proceedings against
the other Primary Party (including bankruptcy, consent to a receivership,

similar action), which proceedings, consent, adoption or arrangement is not
vacated within thirty (30) days after inception.

licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully
exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, however
nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a present exercise of such rights
and elections.  The Primary Parties further agree that, in the event of the
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Buy.Com under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code and Buy.Com's obligation to provide Licensee Upgrades under
Section 2.6 being in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the
-----------
bankruptcy proceeding, Licensee shall, subject to its full compliance with the
Agreement, be entitled to a duplicate of (or access to, as appropriate) any

possession, custody or control ("Partial Upgrade"), and such Partial Upgrades,
if not already in Licensee's possession, shall be promptly delivered to Licensee
(a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon Licensee's
written request therefore, unless Buy.Com elects to continue to perform all of
its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under (a) above,

business, all of the object code and Source Code and all documentation relevant
to the Substitute Technology, and Licensee shall ensure that the auditor is
provided full access to such materials to conduct the examination and audit.

Modification will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will cause
substantial harm to Buy.Com or Licensee, as the case may be, for which damages

meet in a mutually agreeable time and manner (whether in-person or via
videoconference or telephone) within ten (10) days of the date of the response
to the initial notice to attempt to resolve the Upgrade Dispute ("Initial

Initial Meeting, the Chief Financial Officer or, if no such person, an
alternative representative with full settlement authority of each Primary Party
will meet in a mutually agreeable time and manner (whether in-person or via
videoconference or telephone) within twenty (20) days of the Initial Meeting to
attempt to resolve the Upgrade Dispute ("CFO Meeting").  If the Upgrade Dispute
is not resolved within ten (10) days of the CFO Meeting, the Chief Executive
Officer of each Primary Party will meet in a mutually agreeable time and manner
(whether in-person or via videoconference or telephone) within twenty (20) days
of the CFO Meeting to attempt to resolve the Upgrade Dispute ("CEO Meeting").
Only if the Upgrade Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the CEO
Meeting, may Licensee initiate an arbitration or litigation of the Upgrade
Dispute under this Agreement.  This Section 12.1 does not apply to any dispute,
                                    ------------
controversy or claim between the Parties that does not constitute an Upgrade
Dispute (each an "Other Dispute").

     12.2  Arbitration.
           -----------

           12.2.1  Arbitration Procedure.  Subject to Section 12.1, any dispute,

controversy or claim arising under, relating to, or concerning this Agreement
(including each and every

                                       23
<PAGE>

Upgrade Dispute and each and every Other Dispute) shall be determined by binding
arbitration conducted under the then current International Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Orange County, California, in
                                       ---
accordance with this Section 12.2. The number of arbitrators for each
                     ------------
arbitration shall be three (3). The language of each arbitration shall be in
English. Buy.Com shall select one (1) arbitrator and Licensee and Guarantor
shall collectively select one (1) arbitrator, and a third arbitrator shall be
chosen by the two arbitrators chosen by the Parties. If the two arbitrators
cannot agree on the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall, within thirty
(30) days of submission of a request by the two arbitrators chosen by the
Parties, be chosen by the AAA from a panel of arbitrators knowledgeable and
experienced in matters involving commercial transactions, computer technology
and software licensing. The Parties hereby request that the arbitrators decide
each arbitration within six (6) months of the initiation of the arbitration. The
arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory
damages, and each Party waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages. To
the maximum extent permitted, the written determination of the arbitrators shall
be final and shall not be subject to judicial review; provided, however, that
any award of determination rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in a court
of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover the
costs of arbitration and attorneys' fees and expenses, which shall be made part
of the arbitrator's award. The arbitrators shall determine the prevailing Party
for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Primary Party reserves the
right to seek before the state and federal courts having within their
jurisdiction the location of Buy.Com's principal place of business, a judicial
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other similar short-term
equitable relief, and grant the arbitrators the right to make a final
determination of the Parties' rights, including whether to make permanent or
dissolve such order.

           12.2.2  Place of Arbitration.  Each and every arbitration of each
                   --------------------
and every Other Dispute shall be held in Orange County, California, United
States, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.2.1.  Subject
                                                       --------------
to Section 12.1, with respect to each and every Upgrade Dispute, if Licensee
   ------------
wishes to arbitrate and/or litigate the Upgrade Dispute, it shall elect to (i)
initiate and prosecute the arbitration of the Upgrade Dispute under the
procedures set forth in Section 12.2.1 in London, England, United Kingdom, or,
                        --------------
alternatively, (ii) initiate and prosecute the arbitration of the Upgrade
Dispute under the procedures set forth in Section 12.2.1 in Orange County,
                                          --------------
California, United States.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge
and agree that, if Licensee initiates arbitration of any Upgrade Dispute under
this Section 12.2.2 in London, England, Licensee does not thereby waive and, in
     --------------
prosecuting such Upgrade Dispute, neither Primary Party will be deemed to have
waived any rights to initiate or prosecute any arbitration of any Other Dispute
under this Section 12.2.2, even if such Other Dispute arises out of the same
           --------------
facts and circumstances as the Upgrade Dispute.

     12.3  Express Waiver and Release of Claims by Licensee.  For the purposes
           ------------------------------------------------
of this Section 12.3, (i) "Deed" shall mean that certain deed of covenant
        ------------
entered into by and among Buy.Com, Licensee and JLP Victoria Limited ("JLP"),
dated concurrently herewith and set forth in  Schedule 4 of the Acquisition
                                              ----------
Agreement and (ii) "Warranties" shall mean any of the warranties made under

clauses J.1 and J.5 of the Acquisition Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything
-----------     ---
else, if any allegation, claim, dispute or matter of difference arises relating
to Buy.Com's use of the Licensed Technology, Buy.Com Marks and/or Licensee
Modifications in

the Territory or to any claim that the Licensed Technology (as of the Effective
Date) infringes or misappropriates any third party intellectual property rights
("License Claim") and Licensee or JLP (or any Affiliate of Licensee or JLP) has
commenced proceedings (in arbitration, litigation or through any other dispute
resolution mechanism) to enforce or in respect of a breach or alleged breach of
the Deed and/or the Warranties under the Acquisition Agreement arising from the
same facts or circumstances which give rise to the License Claim, then Licensee
hereby agrees that it and its Affiliates are prohibited from commencing,
prosecuting, enforcing or invoking in any litigation, arbitration or other
dispute resolution mechanism any claim of breach by Buy.Com or indemnification
by Buy.Com in relation to such License Claim under this Agreement and may only
seek and obtain relief through enforcement of the Deed and/or Acquisition
Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Buy.Com, Licensee and JLP have entered
into a similar agreement under the Deed and Acquisition Agreement pursuant to
which if any allegation, claim, dispute or matter of difference arises in
respect of the Deed and/or Warranties ("Covenant Claim") and any of the parties
to the Deed and/or Acquisition Agreement and/or any Affiliate thereof have
commenced proceedings (in arbitration, litigation or through any other dispute
resolution mechanism) to enforce this Agreement or in respect of a breach or
alleged breach of or indemnification under this Agreement arising from the same
facts and circumstances which give rise to the Covenant Claim then Buy.Com,
Licensee and JLP have agreed that they shall be prohibited from commencing,
prosecuting or enforcing in any litigation, arbitration or other dispute
resolution mechanism any claim of breach by Buy.Com in relation to such Covenant
Claim under the Deed and/or Acquisition Agreement and may only seek and obtain
relief through enforcement of this Agreement.

Buy.Com the payment of and hereby agrees to be responsible for any and all

this Agreement and each Sublicensee under Section 3.2 of its respective
                                          -----------
Sublicense Agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any and all
royalties and interest that may accrue at any time during the term of the
Agreement), in each case when and as the same shall become due and payable.
This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of Guarantor, is not merely

continuing guaranty of payment which shall remain in full force and effect
without respect to future changes in conditions.  All payments to be made
hereunder by Guarantor shall be made in accordance with Section 6.4.
                                                        -----------

revolutions, riots, civil commotion, national emergency, ordinance or other act
or order of any

                                       25

           -----------------------

transferring Party or Parties.  Any transfer in violation of this Section 14.3
                                                                  ------------
shall be null and void.

     14.4  Waiver.  The waiver or failure of either Primary Party to exercise
           ------
in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of
that right in any other circumstances or a waiver of any further rights.

     14.5  Relationship.  Buy.Com, on the one hand, and Guarantor and Licensee,
           ------------
on the other hand, are independent contractors.  Nothing herein shall be deemed
to establish a partnership, joint venture, franchise or any other form of
relationship as participants in a joint undertaking between Buy.Com, on the one
hand, and Guarantor and Licensee, on the other hand.  Buy.Com shall be solely
responsible for any claims, damages or lawsuits arising out of its acts or those

force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
