Unless the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within five (5) days of its receipt of notice of any Claim that it irrevocably elects not to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected to assume the defense of such Claim.

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.

           10.5.5  Phase II Development Plan.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no failure by the Parties to develop the Phase II Development Plan as contemplated by Section 4.1.3  [Phase II] shall be deemed, in itself, a breach of this Agreement by either Party (and therefore that such occurrence shall not, in itself, give rise to any of the remedies specified in Section 10.5.1  [General] or Section 10.5.2  [Effect of 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

     11.9     Counterparts; Transmitted Copies.
