Re: Engagement Agreement

 Dear Sirs:

         This letter sets forth the terms by which this I will be engaged in
connection with matters described below. I agree that the terms and conditions
of the engagement shall be as set forth in this letter.

1. Engagement. I have been engaged as special counsel for Megola, Inc. (the
"Company") to assist in the SEC reporting requirements.

The term of the engagement shall be for the period from December 1, 2005 to
November 30, 2006.

2. Fees, Costs and Expenses. My fee shall be 375,000 shares of common stock.
These shares will be registered on Form S-8 as soon as possible. I will prepare
at my expense the S-8 registration statement and related legal opinion. The
registration statement will only include my shares, unless otherwise mutually
agreed in accordance with our firm's current policy. If at any time you
terminate this agreement except for my material non-performance, all shares
shall be fully vested and remain outstanding.

The Company shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses in connection
with this project, including, but not limited to, SEC and state filing fees,
state blue sky fees and expenses, EDGAR fees, messenger, overnight courier,
printing, travel, S&P, Transfer Agent, CUSIP, printing and blue sky counsel
fees.

IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR ME TO KNOW AT ALL TIMES THAT YOU ARE
SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ME. So that there will always be full
and open communication between me, and so that I may clearly understand and
promptly deal with any concerns you may have about my services, you agree to let
me know immediately in writing of any concerns you may have about the services I
perform for you. If you wait to inform me of your concerns until a later time,
it may no longer be possible for me to take any meaningful steps to address
those concerns. At no time will I make any charge for time spent discussing such
matters.

If there are any questions concerning this agreement, please contact the
undersigned.

If it is agreed that the foregoing sets forth the conditions of my engagement,
please sign the extra copy of this letter where indicated and return it.

                                                     Sincerely,

                                                     Michael T. Williams, Esq.

The above is understood and agreed to:

Megola, Inc.

    (C)  Cooperation.
      For
      purposes of preparing the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and during the period
      of
      any dispute referred to in Section 3.03(D) below, the Member Representative,
      Bankrate and their respective accountants and representatives shall fully
      cooperate with each other, and provide each other full access to the books,
      records, facilities and employees of the Surviving Company, insofar as each
      party has possession or control of the foregoing, in each case to the extent
      required to enable the parties, with the assistance of their respective
      accountants and representatives, to prepare or review the Draft Closing Balance
      Sheet. Bankrate agrees that following the Closing it will not take any actions
      with respect to the accounting books, records, policies and procedures of the
      Surviving Company that would affect the preparation of the Draft Closing Balance
      Sheet or the FastFind Report.

     

    (D)  Agreement
      on Closing Balance Sheet.

     

    (i)  Agreement
      of the Parties.
      Within
      fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt by the Member Representative of the
      FastFind Report, the Member Representative and Bankrate shall endeavor to agree
      on any matters in dispute.

     

    (ii)  Decision
      by Independent Accounting Firm.
      If the
      Member Representative and Bankrate are unable to agree on any matters in dispute
      within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the FastFind Report, the
      matters in dispute will be submitted for resolution to a "big four" accounting
      firm selected by lot (other than KPMG LLP or Ernst & Young LLP) (the
      "Independent
      Accounting Firm")
      to
      make a final determination in accordance with the guidelines and procedures
      set
      forth in this Agreement. The Member Representative and Bankrate shall instruct
      the Independent Accounting Firm to not assign a value to any item in dispute
      greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the Member
      Representative, on the one hand, or Bankrate, on the other hand, or less than
      the smallest value for such item assigned by the Member Representative, on
      the
      one hand, or Bankrate, on the other hand. The Member Representative and Bankrate
      shall also instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to make its determination
      based solely on presentations by the Member Representative and Bankrate which
      are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement
      (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Within thirty (30) calendar
      days of such submission, the Independent Accounting Firm shall determine and
      issue a written report to Bankrate and the Member Representative. Bankrate
      and
      the Member Representative shall cooperate with each other and each other's
      representatives to enable the Independent Accounting Firm to render a decision
      as promptly as possible.

     

    (iii)  Fees.
      The
      fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be billed to
      Bankrate; provided, however, each of FastFind and Bankrate shall be responsible
      for paying such fees in inverse proportion as they prevail on matters decided
      by
      the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also
      be
      determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, as arbitrators, at the time
      such
      determination of the Independent Accounting Firm is rendered on the submitted
      dispute(s). All amounts owed by FastFind pursuant to this Section 3.03(D)(iii)
      Bankrate shall be included in the Purchase Price adjustment set forth in Section
      3.03(E).

    (iv)  Closing
      Balance Sheet.
      The
      balance sheet incorporating the resolution of matters in dispute (if any) is
      referred to as the "Closing
      Balance Sheet".
      The
      adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.03(E), based on the
      Closing Balance Sheet, (the "Purchase
      Price Adjustment")
      shall
      have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding and
      conclusive on the parties to this Agreement.

     

    (E)  Purchase
      Price Adjustment Based on Closing Date Net Working Capital.
      

     

    (i)  Adjustment
      if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is Greater than Zero.
      If the
      Net Working Capital of the Surviving Company, as disclosed in the Closing
      Balance Sheet (the "Closing
      Date Net Working Capital"),
      is
greater
      than
      zero, then (a) the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such
      Net
      Working Capital and (b) Bankrate shall immediately pay such amount plus interest
      thereon from the Closing Date at the rate of 8% per annum to the Member
      Representative, for the benefit of the Members.

     

    (ii)  Adjustment
      if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is Less than Zero.
      If the
      Closing Date Net Working Capital is less
      than
      zero, then (a) the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such
      Net
      Working Capital deficit and (b) each of the Members, through the Member
      Representative, shall instruct the Escrow Agent to immediately pay to Bankrate
      such Member’s pro-rata portion of such Net Working Capital deficit, plus
      interest thereon from the Closing Date at the rate of 8% per annum, from the
      Indemnification Escrow Cash.

     

    Section
      3.04  Withholding
      Rights.
      The
      Member Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the
      consideration otherwise payable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement such
      amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the
      making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local
      or
      foreign tax Law. If the Member Representative withholds amounts in accordance
      with this Section
      3.04,
      such
      amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been
      paid
      to the Member.

     

    Section
      3.05  No
      Further Ownership Rights in FastFind Membership Interests after the Effective
      Time.
      The
      Purchase Price paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon
      conversion of any FastFind Membership Interests shall be deemed to have been
      paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such FastFind Membership
      Interests. After the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers
      on the membership interest transfer books that were outstanding immediately
      prior to the Effective Time. 

     

    Section
      3.06  Dissenters

      may be entitled to dissenters' rights under the Delaware Corporate Law. At
      the
      Effective Time, all membership interests held by dissenting Members shall
      automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such Member shall
      cease
      to have any rights with respect to such membership interests, except for rights
      in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Corporate Law.

     

    Section
      3.07  Options.
      FastFind
      shall take all actions necessary to ensure that FastFind will not, at the time
      of the Closing, be bound by any options, warrants, rights, convertible or
      exchangeable securities, "phantom" stock rights, “stock appreciation rights”,
      stock-based performance units or other rights or agreements which would entitle
      any Person, other than Bankrate and the Sub, to own any ownership interests
      of
      FastFind or to receive any payment in respect thereof at any time after the
      Closing Date.

      and
      marked with an asterisk; and (viii) the documented expenses of Bankrate, if
      any,
      in an amount not to exceed $100,000, incurred in connection with attempting
      to
      formulate a business method and practices to avoid an alleged violation of
      either or both of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,385,594 and 6,611,816. Without limiting
      the
      generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide
      indemnification by the Members pursuant to this Agreement to any individual
      or
      entity that was an Affiliate of FastFind only prior to the Closing or
      individuals or entities serving prior to the Closing as FastFind's managers,
      officers, members, employees, agents, or attorneys and their legal
      representatives, successors or assigns.

     

    (C)  Indemnified
      Party Shall Provide Notice of Claim(s).
      Upon
      obtaining knowledge of facts or circumstances which may give rise to a right
      of
      indemnification, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified
      Party")
      shall
      promptly notify each party from whom indemnity is sought pursuant to this
      Section 8.01 (the "Indemnifying
      Parties"),
      in
      writing and in reasonable detail, of such facts or circumstances which may
      give
      rise to a right of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the identity
      of
      any third party claimants, a description of the claim, demand, action or
      proceeding, if any, out of which the Damages arise, a description of the
      Damages, and the amount of the Damages ("Notice
      of Claim");
      provided, however, that no failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the
      performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation
      of
      the Indemnifying Parties to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless
      except to the extent that such failure or delay prejudices the Indemnifying
      Parties' rights or its ability to defend against such claim, demand, complaint,
      action or proceeding.

    (D)  Third-Party
      Claims.
      If the
      claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim relates to a claim or demand
      asserted by a third party (a "Third
      Party Claim"):

     

    (i)  Indemnified
      Party May Elect that Indemnifying Parties Defend a Claim or Demand, at the
      Indemnifying Parties' Expense.
      The
      Indemnifying Parties may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim. If the
      Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of such claim or demand: (1) the
      Indemnifying Parties will assume the defense of such claim or demand, including
      the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to
      defend such claim or demand, (2) the Indemnifying Parties shall pay all fees,
      costs and disbursements in connection with the defense of such claim or demand,
      including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, reasonable paralegal fees
      and
      expenses, reasonable investigative fees and expenses and sales and use taxes
      imposed on such amounts; and (3) the Indemnified Party shall have the right
      to
      participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and
      expense. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Parties
      or such Indemnifying Parties' representatives all records and other materials
      reasonably required by them for their use in contesting any Third Party Claim
      and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in connection therewith.
      

     

    (ii)  The
      Indemnified Party May Defend a Claim or Demand, at the Indemnifying Parties'
      Expense.
      In the
      event that the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim
      or
      demand, then such Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend
      such claim or demand and the Indemnifying Parties shall pay all reasonable
      fees,
      costs and disbursements in connection with the defense of such claim or demand,
      including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, reasonable paralegal fees
      and
      expenses, reasonable investigative fees and expenses and sales and use taxes
      imposed on such amounts of one counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and
      reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnifying Parties
      shall make available to the Indemnified Party or such Indemnified Party's
      representatives all records and other materials reasonably required by them
      for
      their use in contesting any Third Party Claim and shall cooperate with the
      Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

     

    (iii)  Certain
      Third Party Claims.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Third Party Claim contemplated
      by Sections 8.01(B)(v) or 8.01(B)(vi) above, the Indemnifying Party and the
      Indemnified Party shall mutually agree upon one counsel on or prior to December
      15, 2005 and shall mutually determine the defense of such claim or demand on
      or
      prior to January 13, 2006. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
      Indemnified Party for the first $250,000 of the reasonable attorneys fees and
      expenses, reasonable paralegal fees and expenses, reasonable investigative
      fees
      and expenses and sales and use taxes imposed on such amounts, and 75% of such
      fees, costs, taxes and charges in excess of $250,000, in connection with the
      defense of such claim or demand under Sections 8.01(B)(v) or 8.01(B)(vi) above
      and only to the extent incurred during the two-year period following the Closing
      (which will be disbursed from the Indemnification Escrow Cash). Notwithstanding
      the first sentence of this paragraph, but subject to the following two
      sentences, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of a Third Party
      Claim contemplated by Sections 8.01(B)(v) or 8.01(B)(vi) at such time as the
      Escrow Indemnification Cash is exhausted or, if earlier, on the later of (x)
      the
      first anniversary of the date hereof and (y) such time, if any, that the
      Indemnified Party has made claims for indemnification in accordance with this
      Agreement in excess of the Members' maximum indemnification obligations set
      forth in this Agreement for such claims (e.g. once the Indemnified Party claims
      more than $2,000,000 pursuant to a Third Party Claim contemplated by Sections
      8.01(B)(v), 8.01(B)(vi) and/or 8.01(B)(viii) above, the Indemnified Party shall
      control the defense of any such claim or demand). The Indemnifying Party must
      consent to the settlement of a Third Party Claim contemplated by Section
      8.01(B)(vi) if such settlement (x) does not provide for a "per lead" royalty
      during the two-year period following the Closing that is financially materially
      the same to the "per lead" royalty in such settlement for periods following
      such
      two-year period or (y) provides for a lump sum settlement for the two-year
      period following the Closing. Moreover, in the event that a Third Party Claim
      contemplated by Section 8.01(B)(v) is not settled by the execution of a "per
      lead" royalty or licensing arrangement that is financially materially the same
      to a "per lead" royalty or licensing arrangement consummated in connection
      with
      the settlement of a Third Party Claim contemplated by Section 8.01(B)(vi) (or
      such other settlement arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying
      Party), then the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third Party
      Claim contemplated by Section 8.01(B)(v), and shall be responsible for all
      fees,
      costs and disbursements in connection with such Third Party Claim contemplated
      by Section 8.01(B)(v) (which fees, costs and disbursements will be disbursed
      from the Indemnification Escrow Cash), with any settlement thereof subject
      to
      the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld). 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (E)  Determination
      of Indemnification Amount.
      As soon
      as is reasonably practicable after the full and final settlement or the entering
      of a final and non-appealable judgment regarding a Third Party Claim, the
      Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties shall endeavor to agree upon
      the
      amount, if any, to which the Indemnified Party is entitled under this Section
      8.01. In the event that the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party
      are
      unable to reach agreement upon the right of the Indemnified Party to
      indemnification hereunder, or upon the amount of any such indemnification
      hereunder, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Parties may submit
      such dispute for resolution based on this Section 8.01 in accordance with
      Section 11.15 of this Agreement. The amount of such indemnification determined
      pursuant to this Subsection 8.01(E) (the "Indemnification
      Amount")
      shall
      be binding upon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties.

     

    (F)  Payment
      of Indemnification Amount.
      The
      Indemnifying Parties shall deliver, or shall cause the Escrow Agent to deliver,
      as applicable, to the Indemnified Party, an amount that is equal to the
      Indemnification Amount, and as limited by Subsections 8.01(G) and 8.01(H) below,
      within ten (10) calendar days after the determination of the Indemnification
      Amount. 

     

    (G)  Limitations
      to Members' Indemnity.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
      Agreement:

     

    (i)  Maximum
      Indemnification of Each Member.
      Each
      Member's maximum indemnification of the Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant
      to this Section 8.01 shall be limited to such Member's pro rata portion of
      the
      Indemnification Escrow Cash. At Bankrate’s request, the Member Representative
      will provide Bankrate the necessary information to determine each Member's
      pro
      rata portion of the Indemnification Escrow Cash.

     

    (ii)  Maximum
      Indemnification by All Members.
      The
      Members' aggregate indemnification of the Indemnified Parties for Damages
      pursuant to this Article VIII shall be limited to the amount of the
      Indemnification Escrow Cash and shall be paid exclusively from the
      Indemnification Escrow Cash pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
      Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Members' aggregate
      indemnification of the Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant to this Article
      VIII shall not be limited to the amount of the Indemnification Escrow Cash
      and
      shall not be paid exclusively from the Indemnification Escrow Cash for any
      Damages related to, arising out of or in connection with any of the following
      (collectively, the "Exceptional
      Damages"):

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (1)  Sections
      5.03, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07, 5.08, 5.12, 5.15 or 5.16;

     

    (2)  fraud,
      willful misconduct, or criminal acts of FastFind or any Member; 

     

    (3)  representations
      and warranties of the Members in Article V hereof which were, to the Knowledge
      of FastFind, untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as of the Closing
      Date;

     

    (4)  claims
      made under Section 8.01(B)(v);

     

    (5)  claims
      made under Section 8.01(B)(vi); and/or

     

    (6)  claims
      made under Section 8.01(B)(vii).

     

    In
      the
      case of clause (4) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover
      all
      Exceptional Damages under clause (4) if they consist of a "per lead" royalty
      or
      licensing arrangement (so long as the "per lead" royalty or licensing
      arrangement for pre-Closing periods is financially materially the same as the
      "per lead" royalty or licensing arrangement for post-Closing periods). In the
      case of clause (5) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover
      25%
      of all Exceptional Damages that consist of a "per lead" royalty or licensing
      fee
      paid by the Bankrate Group for leads originated from bankrate.com on or after
      the Closing through December 31, 2007, subject to a maximum recovery amount
      of
      $500,000. In no event shall the Indemnified Party be entitled to recover
      Exceptional Damages and other Damages in excess of the Purchase Price.

     

    (iii)  Minimum
      Damages Accrued Before Duty to Indemnify Arises.
      The
      Members shall not indemnify the Bankrate Group for any Damages (other than
      Damages pursuant to Section 8.01(B)(v), 8.01(B)(vi) and 8.01(B)(viii) hereof)
      until the aggregate amount of Damages of the Bankrate Group exceeds Three
      Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00), and then only for the amount of such
      aggregate Damages exceeding Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
      ($300,000).

     

    (iv)  Indemnification
      Periods.
      The
      Members will indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII
      for
      all Damages arising from claims or demands occurring within one (1) year of
      the
      Closing Date, provided that the Indemnified Party provided the Member
      Representative with notice of such claim or demand within one (1) year of the
      Closing Date; except that the Members shall indemnify the Bankrate Group for
      Exceptional Damages provided that the Bankrate Group provides the Member
      Representative with a Notice of Claim of such Exceptional Damage(s) (x) in
      the
      case of clauses (3), (5) and (6) of the definition of Exceptional Damages,
      at
      any time on or before December 31, 2007 and (y) in the case of clauses (1),
      (2)
      and (4) of the definition of Exceptional Damages, at any time on or before
      December 31, 2008.

     

    (H)  Limitations
      to Bankrate's Indemnity.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
      Agreement:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (i)  Minimum
      Damages Accrued Before Duty to Indemnify Arises.
      Bankrate shall not indemnify the Members for any Damages until the aggregate
      amount of Damages of the Members exceeds Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
      ($300,000.00), and then only for the amount of such Damages exceeding Three
      Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

     

    (ii)  Maximum
      Indemnification by Bankrate.
      Bankrate's indemnification of the Members for Damages pursuant to this Section
      8.01 shall be limited to the amount of the Indemnification Escrow Cash.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bankrate's indemnification of the Members for
      Damages pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall not be limited to the amount of
      the
      Indemnification Escrow Cash for any Damages related to, arising out of or in
      connection with Bankrate or Sub's fraud, willful misconduct, criminal acts
      or
      failure to make payments to the Members pursuant to Article III.

     

    (iii)  Indemnification
      Periods.
      Bankrate will indemnify the Members pursuant to this Section 8.01 for all
      Damages arising from claims or demands occurring within one (1) year of the
      Closing Date, provided that the Members provided Bankrate with notice of such
      claim or demand within one (1) year of the Closing Date; except that Bankrate
      shall indemnify the Members for Damages related to or arising out of the
      following, provided that the Member Representative provides the Bankrate Group
      with a Notice of Claim of such Damages, at any time on or before ninety (90)
      days past the applicable Statute of Limitations of any breach of this Agreement
      by Bankrate constituting fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

     

    (I)  Determination
      of Damages.
      The
      amount of any and all Damages under this Article VIII shall be determined net
      of
      (i) the net present value of any Tax benefits reasonably expected to be realized
      (calculated using a discount rate of 8%) by any party seeking indemnification
      hereunder arising from the deductibility of any such Damages and (ii) any
      amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance
      policies, indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements with respect to such
      Damages. Each party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable
      insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with
      respect to any indemnifiable Damages. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement
      shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes. In
      no
      event shall the Bankrate Group be entitled to recover or make a claim for any
      amounts in respect of consequential, incidental or indirect damages, lost
      profits or punitive damages and, in particular, no "multiple of profits" or
      "multiple of cash flow" or similar valuation methodology shall be used in
      calculating the amount of any Damages.

     

    (J)  Exclusive
      Remedy.
      

     

    (i)  Except
      for rights, claims and causes of action it may have relating to fraud, the
      Bankrate Group acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its
      sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the
      subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification
      provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing,
      the
      Bankrate Group hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent
      permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action
      it may have against FastFind or its Members relating to the subject matter
      of
      this Agreement arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign
      statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise except for rights,
      claims and causes of action it may have relating to fraud. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Bankrate Group shall
      have no right to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any
      Damages or alleged Damages if the Bankrate Group shall have requested a
      reduction in the Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet
      on
      account of any matter forming the basis for such Damage or alleged Damage and
      shall have agreed, or the Independent Accounting Firm shall have determined,
      that no such reduction is appropriate.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (ii)  The
      FastFind Group acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, except
      for Bankrate’s failure to pay the Purchase Price, its sole and exclusive remedy
      with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this
      Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in
      this
      Article VIII or Section 3.03. In furtherance of the foregoing, the FastFind
      Group hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted
      under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may
      have against Bankrate or its officers and directors relating to the subject
      matter of this Agreement arising under or based upon any federal, state, local
      or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or
      otherwise.

      Injunctions or Restraints.
      No
      temporary judgment issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other law
      preventing the consummation of the Merger shall be in effect; provided,
      however,
      that
      prior to asserting this condition, subject to Section 9.02, each of the parties
      shall have used all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of
      any
      such injunction or other order and to appeal as promptly as possible any such
      judgment that may be entered.

     

    Section
      9.02  Conditions
      to Obligations of Bankrate and Sub.
      The

      The
      representations and warranties of the Members in this Agreement shall be true
      and correct, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as
      though made on the Closing Date, except to the extent of changes or developments
      contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and to the extent such

      FastFind and on behalf of the Members by the Member Representative to such
      effect.

      FastFind shall have performed all obligations required to be performed by it
      under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date, except for breaches of
      such covenants that, in the aggregate, would not have a FastFind Material
      Adverse Effect, and Bankrate shall have received a certificate signed on behalf
      of FastFind by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer

      in
      any supplements, modifications and updates to the Schedules by Bankrate prior
      to
      the Closing as permitted by this Agreement, would not have a Bankrate Material

      of
      each of Bankrate and Sub by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
      Officer of each Bankrate and Sub to such effect.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        34

      Sub
      to such effect.

    ARTICLE
      X

    TERMINATION

     

    Section
      10.01  Termination.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be
      terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the
      terms
      of this Agreement:

     

    (A)  by
      mutual
      written consent of Bankrate and the Member Representative;

     

    (B)  by
      either
      (i) Bankrate and the Sub, on the one hand, or (ii) FastFind and the Members,
      on
      the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, only upon the following
      conditions:

     

    (i)  if
      the
      Merger is not consummated on or before November 30, 2005 (the "Outside
      Date"),
      unless the failure to consummate the Merger by the Outside Date is the result
      of
      a knowing and willful breach of this Agreement by the parties seeking to
      terminate this Agreement that has prevented the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated hereby; or

     

    (ii)  if
      any
      Governmental Entity issues an order, decree or ruling or takes any other action
      permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions
      and
      such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and
      nonappealable.

     

    (C)  by
      FastFind and the Members:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (i)  if
      Bankrate or Sub breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of
      its
      representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which
      breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition
      set forth in Section 9.03(A) and (ii) in the case of a covenant breach, cannot
      be or has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days after the giving of
      written notice to Bankrate and Sub of such breach (provided that FastFind and
      the Members are not then in material breach of any representation, warranty
      or
      covenant contained in this Agreement); or

     

    (ii)  immediately,
      if there exists or arises any pending or threatened suit, action or proceeding
      set forth in Section 9.02(D);

     

    (D)  by
      Bankrate and Sub, if prior to the Closing, FastFind supplements, modifies,
      or
      updates the Schedules and Exhibits as permitted in accordance with Section
      11.13
      and Bankrate reasonably determines that such supplements, modifies, or updates
      are materially adverse to FastFind, Bankrate or Sub.

     

    (E)  by
      Bankrate and Sub, if FastFind or the Members breaches or fails to perform in
      any
      material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained
      in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (1) would give rise to
      the
      failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.02(B) or 9.02(C), and (2) in
      the
      case of a covenant breach, cannot be or has not been cured within ten (10)
      calendar days after the giving of written notice to FastFind of such breach
      (provided that Bankrate is not then in material breach of any representation,
      warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

     

    Section
      10.02   Failure
      to Close Due to Governmental Approvals.
      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01, if FastFind, the Member
      Representative and Bankrate each agree that if all of the conditions to the
      parties' obligations to Close the Transactions have been satisfied or waived
      as
      of the Outside Date, other than the receipt of Government approvals set forth
      in
      Section 5.23 (the "Governmental
      Approvals")
      or the
      expiration or termination of the waiting period with respect to such
      Governmental Approvals, neither FastFind, the Members or Bankrate may terminate
      this Agreement without first providing the other party with ten (10) calendar
      days' written notice of its intention to terminate. During such ten (10) day
      period, the parties shall cause its counsel to confer with the other parties'
      counsel in an attempt to agree on the likelihood of a timely and successful
      resolution of all such issues relating to the applicable Governmental Approvals
      or waiting period. Following such ten (10) day period, neither FastFind, the
      Members or Bankrate shall terminate this Agreement unless such party reasonably
      believes, based upon the likely time period necessary to resolve the applicable
      Governmental Approvals issues, the likelihood of successfully resolving such
      Governmental Approvals without conditions, obligations or agreements which
      adversely effect such party, and other relevant factors, that not terminating
      this Agreement could cause effects which are material and adverse to it in
      comparison to the size and nature of the Transactions.

     

    Section
      10.03  Effect
      of Termination.
      In the
      event of termination of this Agreement by either FastFind or Bankrate as
      provided in Section 10.01 or 10.02, this Agreement shall forthwith become void
      and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Bankrate,
      Sub or FastFind, other than Section 7.03, this Section 10.03 and Article XI,
      which provisions shall survive such termination, and except to the extent that
      such termination results from the willful and knowing breach by a party of
      any
      representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in
      this Article X shall be deemed to impair the right of any party to compel
      specific performance by another party of its obligations under this
      Agreement.

      11.02  Fees
      and Expenses.
      Except
      as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
      Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether

    Section
      11.03  Interpretation.
      When a
      reference is made in this Agreement to a Section or Article, such reference
      shall be to a Section or Article of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
      The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
      purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
      of
      this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement has participated in the drafting
      of
      this Agreement, which each party acknowledges and agrees is the result of
      extensive negotiations among the parties. Whenever the words "include,"
      "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed
      to be
      followed by the words "without limitation". Any matter disclosed in any Exhibit
      or Schedule shall be deemed disclosed only for the purposes of the specific
      Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement to which such Exhibit or Schedule
      relates.

     

    Section
      11.04  Severability.
      If any
      provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable
      in
      any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity
      or
      enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality,
      validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other
      jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision
      of this Agreement may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would
      render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another
      of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision shall
      have the meaning which renders it valid and enforceable.

     

    Section
      11.05  Public
      Announcements.
      Except
      as required by law, prior to the Closing Date, any public statement or proposed
      press release pertaining to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be mutually
      prepared and approved by Bankrate and FastFind. 

     

    Section
      11.06  Transfer
      Taxes.
      All
      stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary stamp, recording and other
      similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes)
      ("Transfer Taxes") incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid
      by
      either Sub or FastFind, and FastFind shall cooperate with Sub and Bankrate
      in
      preparing, executing and filing any Returns with respect to such Transfer
      Taxes.

     

    Section
      11.07  Shareholder
      Litigation.
      FastFind shall give Bankrate the opportunity (at Bankrate's expense), but
      Bankrate shall not be obligated, to participate in the defense or settlement
      of
      any Member litigation against FastFind and its managers relating to any of
      the
      Transactions; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be agreed to
      without Bankrate’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

    Section
      11.08  Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be
      considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or
      more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to
      the
      other parties.

     

    Section
      11.09  Amendment.
      The
      provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, waived or changed
      orally, but only by a writing signed by FastFind, the Member Representative
      and
      Bankrate and making specific reference to this Agreement.

     

    Section
      11.10  Extension:
      Waiver.
      At any
      time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the
      performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b)
      waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this
      Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive
      compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement.
      Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall
      be
      valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such
      party. The failure or delay of any party at any time to require performance
      by
      another party of any provision of this Agreement, even if known, shall not
      affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision or
      to
      exercise any right, power or remedy under this Agreement. Any waiver by any
      party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement should not be construed
      as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver
      of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power or remedy under this
      Agreement. No notice to or demand on any party in any circumstance shall, of
      itself, entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar
      or other circumstances.

     

    Section
      11.11  Assignment;
      Binding Effect.
      Neither
      this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this
      Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or
      otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other
      parties, except that Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all
      its
      rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Bankrate or to any
      direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Bankrate, but no such assignment
      shall relieve Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported
      assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding
      sentences, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon,
      inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective
      administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, heirs,
      successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     

    Section
      11.12  Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions shall be governed
      by,
      and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State
      of
      Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

     

    Section
      11.13  Exhibits.
      The
      disclosures in the Exhibits
      hereto
      are to be taken as relating to the representations and warranties of FastFind
      and the Members as a whole. The inclusion of information in any of such
      Schedules and Exhibits hereto shall not be construed as an admission that such
      information is material to any of FastFind or the Members. In addition, matters
      reflected in such Schedules and Exhibits are not necessarily limited to matters
      required by this Agreement to be reflected in such Schedules and Exhibits.
      Such
      additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not
      necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Prior to the Closing,
      FastFind shall have the right to supplement, modify or update the Schedules
      and
      Exhibits to reflect changes and developments after the date hereof. Any such
      supplements, modifications and updates shall be subject to Bankrate's rights
      under Section 9.02(A) and shall have the effect of modifying the representations

    Section
      11.14  Enforcement
      Jurisdiction.
      FastFind, the Members, Sub and Bankrate agree that irreparable damage would
      occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
      performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
      It
      is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
      injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
      the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Courts of the State of Florida
      or any Federal court located in the State of Florida, this being in addition
      to
      any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition,
      each of the parties hereto (A) consents to submit itself to the personal
      jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Florida or any Federal court located
      in the State of Florida in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement
      or
      any Transaction, (B) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such
      personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court,
      and (C) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement
      or
      any Transaction in any court other than a Court of the State of Florida or
      any
      Federal court sitting in the State of Florida.

     

    Section
      11.15  Arbitration.
      

     

    (A)  In
      case
      of a dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection
      with this Agreement, including any dispute regarding its validity or
      termination; FastFind, the Members, Sub and Bankrate, as applicable, shall
      attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with
      respect to each such claim within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of notice
      of such claim. If the applicable parties should so agree, a memorandum setting
      forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by such parties.

     

    (B)  If
      no
      such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation lasting not longer
      than sixty (60) calendar days after the receipt of notice of such claim, any
      of
      the applicable parties may demand binding arbitration of the matter unless
      the
      amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third
      party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount
      is
      ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration. Arbitration shall be
      administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA")
      and
      shall be conducted by three neutral arbitrators, two of whom shall be practicing
      attorneys and the third of whom shall be a certified public accountant, each
      having experience in the business of FastFind. Within fifteen (15) calendar
      days
      of commencement of arbitration, Sub and Bankrate, on one hand, and FastFind
      and/or the Member Representative, on the other hand, shall each select one
      neutral qualified arbitrator. Within ten (10) calendar days of their
      appointment, the two neutral arbitrators so selected shall select the third
      neutral qualified arbitrator from a list of arbitrators provided by the AAA
      having experience in the area of the business of FastFind. The third arbitrator
      shall act as chair of the arbitration panel. If the arbitrators selected by
      the
      parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third
      arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The arbitrators shall set a limited
      time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for
      discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole
      judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing
      parties about the subject matter of the dispute. Any dispute regarding
      discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the chair
      of the arbitration panel and shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil
      Procedure. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the
      validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the
      parties to this Agreement. The award by the arbitrators shall be in writing,
      shall be signed by a majority of the arbitrators and shall include a statement
      of written findings of fact and conclusions regarding the reasons for the
      disposition of any claim.

    (C)  Judgment
      upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having
      jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in West Palm Beach, Florida
      under the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the AAA. The
      arbitrators shall designate which party is the prevailing party in the dispute,
      taking into account, among other factors, the amount in dispute and the amount
      of the award. The non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and fees associated
      with the arbitration. "Costs and fees" for purposes of this subsection mean
      all
      reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’
      fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out of pocket expenses such as
      copying and telephone, witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

     

    (D)  By
      agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court with
      jurisdiction of its ability to issue a preliminary injunction, attachment or
      other form of provisional remedy in aid of the arbitration and a request of
      such
      provisional remedies by a party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of
      the
      agreement to arbitrate.

     

    Section
      11.16  JURY
      WAIVER.
      IN ANY
      CIVIL ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHICH
      ARISES OUT OF, CONCERNS, OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND THE TRANSACTIONS,
      THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS
      AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE,
      TRIAL SHALL BE TO A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT TO A JURY. EACH
      PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ANY
      PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY
      COURT, AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
      OF
      THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. NEITHER PARTY HAS MADE OR RELIED
      UPON ANY ORAL REPRESENTATIONS TO OR BY ANY OTHER PARTY REGARDING THE
      ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION. EACH PARTY HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE EFFECT
      OF THIS JURY WAIVER PROVISION. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED
      BY ITS OWN COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTION GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT
      AND SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION.

     

    Section
      11.17  Bankrate’s
      Right to Conduct Other Activities.
      FastFind and Members hereby acknowledge that Bankrate and its affiliates are
      considering transactions with other companies, some of which may be competitive
      with FastFind’s business. Neither Bankrate or its affiliates or their respective
      directors, employees, agents, partners, officers or other representatives shall
      be liable for any claim arising out of, related to, or based upon (i) the
      investment by Bankrate in, or the acquisition by Bankrate of, any entity
      competitive with FastFind or (ii) actions taken by Bankrate or its affiliates
      or
      any director, employee, agent, partner, officer or other representative of
      Bankrate or its affiliates to assist any such competitive company or to evaluate
      or enter into a transaction with such competitive company.

     

    Section
      11.18  Entire
      Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
      This
      Agreement, taken together with its Exhibits and Schedule 1, (a) constitute
      the
      entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both
      written and oral, among the parties with respect to the Merger and other
      Transactions and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than
      the
      parties any rights or remedies.

    Section
      11.19  Unconditional
      Guarantee.
      Bankrate hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees the punctual performance
      of
      Sub's obligations hereunder, including Sub's obligation to deliver the funds
      required by Section 3.01(A) hereof, for so
      long
      as any sums remain payable by Sub to the Members or any of the obligations
      of
      Sub under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
      to
      the contrary, Bankrate shall be entitled to all defenses, counterclaims and
      offsets available to Sub.
