this Agreement and thereafter for a period of three (3) years, all of the
Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, shall not use such Confidential
Information except as set forth herein, and shall use reasonable efforts not to
disclose such Confidential Information to any third party. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care which
it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own Confidential Information of like
importance to prevent the disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of
any actual or suspected misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the Disclosing
Party's Confidential Information.

        6.2 EXCEPTIONS: Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party shall

Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or
otherwise prevent or restrict such a disclosure.

        6.3 REMEDIES: Any breach of the restrictions contained in this Section 6
is a breach of this Agreement that may cause irreparable harm to the
non-breaching party. Any such breach shall entitle the non-breaching party to
injunctive relief in addition to all legal remedies.

7.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES:

    Each party represents and warrants to the other that (a) it possesses full
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to fulfill its obligations
hereunder, (b) upon execution, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid
and binding obligation of such party, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
and (c) the performance of the terms of this Agreement and its obligations
hereunder shall not breach any other agreement by which it is bound.

8.  INDEMNIFICATION:
    Each party (the "Indemnifying Party") will defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless the other party (the "Indemnified Party"), and the respective
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Indemnified Party, from and
against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages, judgments, obligations,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees) arising out of or in connection with or are related in any way to the
following: Content Partner will indemnify OmniSky, as described above, for: (a)
any third-party claim alleging that the Content, the Content Partner Site, or
the Content Partner Trademarks, or the use and/or distribution thereof as
contemplated herein, infringe or misappropriate any patents, copyrights,
trademarks, trade secrets or any other intellectual property rights of any third
party, (b) any claim brought by any of Content Partner's advertisers, (c) the
accuracy or results of use of the Content or any portion of the Content Partner
Site, (d) any breach by Content Partner of any of its representations or
warranties herein, or (e) any claim that any Content or any part of the Content
Partner Site (i) violates any foreign, international, federal, state or local
law or regulation, or (ii) in any way infringes upon any party's privacy right,
right of publicity, or any other right of any person or entity or is otherwise
unlawful, hateful, harmful, abusive, obscene, threatening, libelous or
defamatory; OmniSky will indemnify Content Partner, as described above, for (a)
any third-party claim alleging that the OmniSky Service or the OmniSky
Trademarks, or the use and/or distribution thereof as contemplated herein,
infringe or misappropriate any patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or
any other intellectual property rights of any third party, (b) any claim brought
by any of OmniSky's advertisers, or (c) any breach by OmniSky of any of its
representations or warranties herein. These obligations of the Indemnifying
Party, as set forth in this Section 8, are contingent on the Indemnified Party
(i) giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any such claim; (ii)
allowing the Indemnifying Party to control the defense and related settlement
negotiations (but the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any agreement
which results in liability to the Indemnified Party without its prior written
consent); and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation, at the Indemnifying
Party's expense, in the defense and all related settlement negotiations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Indemnifying Party control the defense
and related settlement negotiations, the Indemnified Party shall have the right,
at its own expense, to hire its own legal counsel. OmniSky may, at its sole
option, elect to limit its obligations under this paragraph by terminating this
Agreement upon written notice to Content Partner as set forth herein; PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that such termination shall not affect indemnity obligations arising
prior to termination. THE RIGHTS GRANTED UNDER THIS SECTION 8 SHALL BE EITHER
PARTY'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST THE OTHER FOR ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT
OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY KIND.

9.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT,
EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN EACH CASE, WITH RESPECT TO THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE OMNISKY SERVICE, THE CONTENT OR THE CONTENT PARTNER SITE,

inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and to their respective
heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives. Neither party may assign

assign its rights, obligations and privileges hereunder to any subsidiary,
merger partner, successor in business, or acquirer of all or substantially all
of OmniSky's or Content Partner's assets without obtaining any consent to such
assignment from OmniSky or Content Partner.

party without the prior written consent of such party. This Agreement, including
its Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and
supersedes all prior written agreements and understandings with respect to the
matters covered by this Agreement. Each party agrees that it has not entered

          Section 6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety
          as follows:

          "The loan and accrued interest will be with recourse to the Employee
          only until May 1, 2002 or at such earlier date if any of the following
          events occur, at which time the loan and accrued interest will be with
          recourse only to Employee's current ownership of 322,000 shares of
          InterDent Common Stock, Employee's 500,000 options to purchase
          InterDent Common Stock as granted in (3) above, and Employee's

          for any reason other than "cause", as defined in the Employment
          Agreement dated March 11, 1999; (ii) Employee's employment with the
          Company is terminated by Employee for "good reason", as defined in the
          Employment Agreement dated March 11, 1999, or for failure of the
          Company to make the required installments of the Loan as specified in
          this Section (6) which failure is another event under the definition
          of "good reason" in Section 8(d) of the Employment Agreement; (iii) a
          "change in control" (as defined in subparagraphs (a) through (c)
          below) of the Company occurs; (iv) the Company fails to make any

          of non-payment); or (v) an event of Employee Disability occurs. For
          purposes hereof, "an event of Employee Disability" shall mean
          Employee's inability to perform substantially all of the duties and
