unpaid charges accrued under this Agreement shall become immediately due and
payable upon the happening of the event of termination. The aforesaid rights
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law, in
equity, or hereunder.

7.       GENERAL AGREEMENT.

(A)      Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty. Microdyne warrants that Services
shall be provided to Alpine in accordance with the parameters set forth in the
Service Schedule. Microdyne shall use reasonable efforts under the circumstances
to remedy any delays, interruptions, omissions, mistakes, accidents or errors in

FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR REMEDIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(B)      Limitation of Liability. IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT,
MICRODYNE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR FOR
ANY LOST PROFITS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER AND, WITH RESPECT TO PARTIES

MICRODYNE AGAINST ANY CLAIMS FOR SUCH DAMAGES BROUGHT AGAINST IT BY THIRD
PARTIES, UNLESS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL WRONGDOING OF
MICRODYNE.

(C)      Alpine Content and Indemnity. Alpine shall make all arrangements with
copyright holders, or other parties for necessary authorizations, clearances or
consents ("Consents") with respect to information, data or other contents
("contents") provided to Microdyne for distribution to callers. Alpine shall
indemnify and hold harmless Microdyne against and from any action, suit or
claim, whether civil or criminal, private or public, brought against Microdyne
arising out of or related to the contents distributed hereunder (by Microdyne's
employees, over the Internet, Microdyne's network or otherwise) or related to
Alpine's products including, but not limited to, claims, actual or alleged,
relating to any infringement of copyright, patents, any violation of export
control laws, failure to procure Consents or that such transmission Content
violate third party intellectual property rights. Alpine agrees not to use the
Services for any unlawful purpose, including without limitation any use which
constitutes or may constitute a violation of any local, state or federal
obscenity law.

(D)      Force Majeure. If either party's performance of this Agreement or any
obligation (other than the obligation to make payments) hereunder is prevented,
restricted or interfered with by causes beyond its reasonable control including,
but not limited to, acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, cable cut, storm or
other similar occurrence including rain fade or other atmospheric conditions,
any law, order, regulation, direction, action or request of the United States
Government or state or local governments, or of any department, agency,

breaches or delays, then the affected party shall be excused from such
performance on a day-to-day basis to the extent of such prevention, restriction
or interference. The affected party shall use reasonable efforts under the
circumstances to avoid and remove such causes of non-performance and shall
proceed to perform with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes cease. Failure
of equipment or transmission services of a telecommunications carrier involving
Microdyne's Services ("Outage") shall be considered an event of Force Majeure
hereunder. In the event of an occurrence of such Outage causing failure of
Services which is beyond the control of Microdyne, the unaffected portion of the
Service may be subject to interruption as Microdyne deems necessary. Microdyne
shall not be liable for such interruption.
