Period, ACSI shall promptly either (a) refund to Company a percentage of the Annual Fees paid pursuant to Section 5.2.1  [Annual Fees] equal to the Proration Percentage, or, at ACSI's option, (b) cause the transfer and assignment to Company of a percentage of the Shares delivered pursuant to Section 5.3  [Waiver of Payment Obligations] equal to the Proration Percentage.

           10.5.2  [***]

           10.5.3  Construction by Court.  To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of Section 10.5.2  [Effect of Termination] is for any reason unlawful, invalid, in violation of public policy or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall be narrowed in scope to the extent necessary to make the same lawful, valid and enforceable while as nearly as possible reflecting the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement.

           10.5.4  User Transition.  Upon any termination or expiration of the Term the Parties will cooperate in good faith to promote a smooth customer transition, and in any event, Company will, at ACSI's option, continue to operate the Mirror Company Site and offer Spoken-Word Audio Products through the Spoken-Word Audio Sub-Section in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for a period of up to six (6) months following such termination.

Section  11.  Miscellaneous

      11.1    Tax Treatment.

              11.1.1  The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not intended to create any jurisdiction or authority for any governmental authority to impose any obligation to collect any sales tax, use tax or similar tax in connection with any sales of products by either Party or its Affiliates. Accordingly, each Party agrees to take such action as the other Party may reasonably request (including, without limitation, execution of affidavits and other documents) to avoid or curtail the imposition, by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, of any such obligation on such Party or its Affiliates, or the establishment of a nexus for tax purposes sufficient to grant any jurisdiction the authority to levy any sales tax, use tax or similar tax on sales of products by such Party or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.1.1  [Tax Treatment] shall limit Company's obligations under Section 11.1.2  [Tax Treatment].

              11.1.2  Company will collect and pay, and indemnify and hold harmless ACSI and its Affiliates from, any sales, use, excise, import or export, value added or similar tax or duty not based on ACSI's or its Affiliates' net income, including penalties and interest, costs associated with the collection and withholding thereof and attorneys fees in connection therewith, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or Company's advertisement, offer or sale of any products.

     11.2     Insurance.  Company will at its expense, prior to the Launch Date obtain, and thereafter throughout the Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter maintain, such policy or policies of insurance as is commercially reasonable for the transactions and business contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company will ensure that such policies contain a waiver of subrogation against ACSI, name ACSI and its assignees as additional insureds.  Company will not modify or terminate any coverage without giving at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to ACSI. Upon request from ACSI, Company will furnish to ACSI certificates of insurance and such other documentation relating to such policies as ACSI may reasonably request.

     11.3     Independent Contractors. The Parties are entering this Agreement as independent contractors, and this Agreement will not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between them. Neither Party will represent itself to be an employee or agent of the other or enter into any agreement or legally binding commitment or statement on the other's behalf of or in the other's name.

     11.4     Nondisclosure. Each Party will protect the Confidential Information of the other Party from misappropriation and unauthorized use or disclosure, and at a minimum, will take precautions at least as great as those taken to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party will: (a) use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes for which it has been disclosed; and (b) disclose such Confidential

                                     -21-

Information only to those of its and its Affiliates' employees, agents, and consultants who have a need to know the same for the purpose of performing this Agreement and who are informed of and agree to a duty of nondisclosure. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law or legal process or pursuant to a registration report or exhibits thereto filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, listing agency or any stock securities commission, or any other associated filings, provided that the Receiving Party uses gives the Disclosing Party not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice thereof and complies with all reasonable requests of the Disclosing Party to minimize the extent or scope of any such disclosure. Upon request of the other Party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of the Term, each Party shall return to the other or destroy (and certify in writing such destruction) all materials, in any medium, which contain, embody, reflect or

reference all or any part of any Confidential Information of the other Party.

     11.5     Costs.  Except as expressly provided herein, each Party will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

     11.6     Notices.

     11.7     Assignment. Company may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of Law or otherwise, without ACSI's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Company may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary in connection with any corporate reorganization undertaken for the purpose of minimizing the tax liability of Company and its Affiliates or other bona fide corporate purpose or in connection with any Change of Control [***]. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and assigns. ACSI may assign this Agreement to (a) any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation, or other reorganization involving ACSI, (b) any of its Affiliates, or (c) any person or entity to which it transfers all or

     11.8     Nonwaiver.  To be effective, any waiver by a Party of any of its rights or the other Party's obligations under this Agreement must be made in a writing signed by the Party to be charged with the waiver.  No failure or forbearance by either Party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party's right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right, or remedy in that or any other instance; rather the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.

     11.9     Counterparts; Transmitted Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.
