Services [collectively "CUSTOMER CONTENT"], trade secrets, marketing
plans, financial data, specifications, drawings, sketches, models,
samples, computer programs and documentation) provided, disclosed or
made accessible by one party (the "DISCLOSING PARTY") to the other
(the "RECEIVING PARTY") under this Agreement that is either
identified as or would be reasonably understood to be confidential
and/or proprietary. Confidential Information also includes the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and any Work Product (defined
below). Information regarding Customers is considered Confidential
Information under this Section and shall not be used by Supplier for
any purpose other than providing services under this Agreement.
Confidential Information does not include information that the
Receiving Party can clearly establish by written evidence: (a) is or
becomes known to the Receiving Party from a third party without an
obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (b) is or becomes
generally known to the public through no act or omission of the
Receiving Party; or (c) is independently developed by the Receiving

5.2 Except as expressly provided herein, the Receiving Party will: (a)
not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any

Agreement; (b) not disclose Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party to any third party (including any Affiliate of

of the Disclosing Party; (c) not make any copies of Confidential

know" for purposes of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will
notify and inform such employees and/or agents of the Receiving
Party's obligations under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party
will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its
employees and/or agents. In the event that the Receiving Party is
required to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party pursuant to law, the Receiving Party will notify the
Disclosing Party of the required disclosure with sufficient time for
the Disclosing Party to seek relief, will cooperate with the
Disclosing Party in taking appropriate protective measures, and will
make such disclosure in a fashion that maximizes protection of the
Confidential Information from further disclosure.
5.3 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving
Party will promptly turn over to the Disclosing Party, or at the
Disclosing Party's direction destroy, all Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party, in whole or in part, in whatever format,

discoveries, improvements, information, creations, software, and any
other items discovered, prepared or developed by or for Supplier in
the course of or resulting from performance under this Agreement
("WORK PRODUCT") will be promptly disclosed and furnished to Qwest.
All right, title and interest in the Work Product will vest in Qwest
and the Work Product will be deemed to be a work made for hire. To
the extent it may not be considered a work made for hire, Supplier
assigns to Qwest all right, title and interest in the Work Product,
including all copyrights, patent rights, patents and applications
therefor.
6.2 Supplier will retain ownership of its previously developed items. If
the Work Product includes previously developed items, Supplier hereby

license to make, have made, use, market, import, distribute, copy,
modify, prepare derivative works of, perform, display, disclose and
sublicense such items.
6.3 Supplier represents and warrants that it has all necessary agreements
with its employees, contractors and others in order to convey the
ownership and license rights granted herein. Upon request, and
without charge, Supplier agrees to reasonably assist Qwest (including
by executing assignments and other documents) as may be required to
protect, convey and enforce the rights of Qwest in and to the Work
Product.
6.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Work Product does not include
Supplier owned technology and improvements thereto, which technology
is located at Supplier facilities and which technology enables
Supplier to provide the Services, that is computer virus protection
applications and certain business applications and the secure
storage of files created or processed by these applications at
Supplier's remote computer facilities. Supplier and Qwest
acknowledge and agree that in regard to the Enrollment Services,
Reporting Services and Billing Services referenced at SECTIONS 5, 6
and 7 of the Statement of Work dated of even date herewith, and
similar branded items which may be developed by Supplier for Qwest,
that Supplier owns the technology which enables the support
services, enrollment services, reporting services and similar
developed items and that Qwest owns the content and underlying
database of information including, without limitation, customer
information and business performance data. SECTION 6.2 applies to
such enabling technology.
7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS:
7.1 Supplier certifies that it is engaged in an independent business and
will perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement as an
independent contractor and not as the agent or employee of Qwest.
This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture or
similar relationship between the parties, and neither party will
have the power to obligate the other in any manner whatsoever.
7.2 Any persons who perform Services for Qwest hereunder will be solely
the employees or agents of Supplier under its sole and exclusive
direction and control. Supplier is solely responsible for: (a) the
hours of work, methods of performance and compensation of its
employees and agents; (b) compliance with all federal, state and
local rules and regulations including but not limited to those
governing worker's compensation, unemployment, disability insurance
and social security withholding for its employees and agents; and
(c) all federal and state income taxes with respect to its income
under this Agreement.
8. NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-DIVERSION:
Supplier agrees, that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of
one year after termination or expiration of this Agreement, it shall not,
directly or indirectly, through the use of Customer information obtained in
connection with the provision of the Services, solicit, divert or take, or
attempt to divert or take away the Customers, the business or accounts of
Qwest.
9. INDEMNIFICATION:
9.1 Supplier will, at Supplier's expense, indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Qwest (including its officers, directors, employees and
agents), its Affiliates and customers against any loss, cost,
expense or liability (including but not limited to attorneys' fees
and awarded damages) arising out of a claim that the Services, or
their use by Qwest or its Customers, infringe, violate or
misappropriate a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other
intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party.
9.1.1 Supplier's obligation to indemnify Qwest and its Customers pursuant
to the preceding language will not apply to the extent any
infringement was directly caused by any combination of Services with
any other product, system or method unless: (a) Qwest and its
Customers would be reasonably expected to use the Services in
combination with such product, system or method, or (b) the product,
system or method is: (i) provided by Supplier or its Affiliates; (ii)
specified by Supplier to work with the Services; or (iii) reasonably
required in order to use the Services in their intended manner, and
the infringement could not have been avoided by substituting another
reasonably available product, system or method capable of
performing the samefunction.
9.1.2 In the event of such a claim, Supplier will, at its expense,
either obtain the right for Qwest to continue using the
Services or replace or modify them to be non-infringing and
of equivalent functionality. If neither of these
alternatives is reasonably possible, Supplier will refund a
pro-rata portion of the amounts paid hereunder with respect
to the Services (based on the expected life thereof) and
reimburse Qwest for all reasonable expenses for removal and
replacement of the Services.
9.2 Each party (for purposes of this Indemnification Section, the
"INDEMNIFYING PARTY") will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other (including its officers, directors, employees and agents), its
Affiliates and customers, against any loss, cost, expense or
liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising
from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party
(including its Affiliates, agents, employees and others under its
direction or control).
9.3 Supplier will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Qwest and its
Affiliates (including their officers, directors, employees and
agents), against any loss, cost, expense or liability (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising from the
unavailability of Services caused by Supplier, or the loss or
unauthorized dissemination or use of Customer Content by Supplier,
its affiliates, agents, employees and others under its direction or
control.
9.4 The party to be indemnified pursuant to this Section will notify the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time after receiving notice
of a claim. Provided that the indemnifying party promptly and
reasonably investigates and defends any such claim, the indemnifying
party will have control over the defense and settlement thereof. The
party to be indemnified will furnish, at the indemnifying party's
reasonable request and expense, information and assistance necessary
for such defense.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:
Except for each party's indemnification obligations under the Section
herein entitled "INDEMNIFICATION" and each party's breach of the Section
herein entitled "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION", neither party is liable to the
other for consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages,
including commercial loss and lost profits, however caused and regardless
of legal theory or foreseeability, directly or indirectly arising under
this Agreement, even if such party has been apprised of the possibility of
such damages.

14.5 The Sections entitled Representations and Warranties, Confidential
Information, Indemnification, Work Product, Non-Solicitation and
Non-Diversion, Limitation of Liability, Compliance with Laws and
Dispute Resolution will survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement or any SOW. Expiration or termination of this
Agreement will not relieve either party from its obligations arising
hereunder prior to such expiration or termination.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
15.1 NEGOTIATION BETWEEN EXECUTIVES. The parties shall attempt in good
faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have
authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of
management than the persons with direct responsibility for
administration of this Agreement. Any party may give the other party
written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of
business. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the notice, the
receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The
notice and the response shall include (a) a statement of each
party's position and a summary of arguments supporting that position
and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that
party and of any other person who will accompany the executive.
Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the disputing party's
notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually
acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they
reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All
reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other
will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are
confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement
negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
15.2 ARBITRATION. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, including the breach, termination or validity hereof,
which has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within
90 days of the initiation of such procedure, shall be settled by
arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ss.. 1
ET SEQ. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, but need not be administered
by JAMS unless the parties cannot otherwise agree upon the selection
of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a written
demand for arbitration. In the event the parties cannot reach
agreement on the selection of an arbitrator, either party may
commence the arbitration process by filing a written demand for
arbitration with JAMS, with a copy to the other party. The written
demand for arbitration called for by this paragraph shall contain
sufficient detail regarding the party's claims to permit the other
party to understand the claims and identify witnesses and relevant
documents.
The arbitrator may, upon good cause shown, expand the discovery
permitted by the JAMS rules and extend any applicable deadlines. The
arbitrator may decide a motion for summary disposition of claims or
issues, either by agreement of all interested parties or at the
request of one party, provided other interested parties have
reasonable notice to respond to the request. The arbitrator shall not
have the authority to determine claims over which a regulatory agency
has exclusive jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not be empowered to
award, nor shall any party be entitled to receive, any damages or
awards that are barred by the "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" Section of
this Agreement. The arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain
meaning of this Agreement and shall be final, binding, and
enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator
shall issue an award no later than sixty (60) days after the
commencement of the arbitration hearing unless the parties agree
otherwise. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees
and shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrator.
The arbitration proceedings shall occur in the Denver, Colorado
metropolitan area.
Should it become necessary to resort to court proceedings to enforce
a party's compliance with the dispute resolution process set forth
herein, and the court directs or otherwise requires compliance
herewith, then all of the costs and expenses, including its
reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the party requesting such
enforcement shall be reimbursed by the non-complying party to the
requesting party. Venue shall be deemed proper in the federal, state
and county courts located in the City and County of Denver, State of
Colorado, and said courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any
proceedings arising out of this Agreement.
17.3 CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties agree to keep all disputes arising
under this Agreement confidential except as necessary in connection
with a judicial challenge to or enforcement of an award or unless
otherwise required by law or judicial decision. The arbitrator may
issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary
information, trade secrets or other sensitive information.
16. GOVERNING LAW:
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado
without reference to its choice of law rules.
17. FORCE MAJEURE:
Neither party will be liable to the other party for any delay, error,
failure in performance or interruption of performance resulting from causes
beyond its reasonable control. Because the Services rely completely on the
Qwest DSL service and on the Internet for their efficacious delivery, Qwest
acknowledges that an interruption or slowdown in either constitutes Force
Majeure with respect to Supplier's performance under this Agreement.
18. RECORDS AND AUDITS:
Supplier will maintain complete and accurate records of all charges
incurred by Qwest under this Agreement, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, for a period of twenty-four (24) months
from the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. Qwest may
inspect Supplier's records upon reasonable notice and may keep copies
thereof.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION:
Supplier may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the
prior written consent of Qwest, and any attempted assignment by Supplier
will be void. The rights and obligations of each party will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of its successors and permitted assigns.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Supplier is permitted to assign this
Agreement to an Affiliate.
20. NOTICES:
Notices required under this Agreement will be sent to the addresses of the
parties stated below. Notice will be deemed given: (a) on the 1st day after
deposit with an overnight courier, charges prepaid; (b) as of the day of
receipt, if sent via first class U.S. Mail, charges prepaid, return receipt
requested; and (c) as of the day of receipt, if hand delivered.
21. ADVERTISING, PUBLICITY:
Neither party will use the other party's names, marks, codes, drawings or
specifications in any advertising, press release, promotional effort or
publicity of any kind without the prior written permission of the other
party.
22. WAIVERS:
Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of
that or any other provision of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in
writing. Failure by either party to insist upon strict adherence to any
provision of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not deprive such
party of the right to insist upon strict adherence to that or any other
provision of this Agreement.
23. MODIFICATIONS OR AMENDMENTS:
Any modifications or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and
signed by both parties.
24. NON-EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT:
This Agreement is non-exclusive in that Qwest can purchase Services from
other suppliers, and Supplier can sell Services to other customers, and
Qwest does not make any commitment or guarantee for any minimum or maximum
amount of purchases.
25. SEVERABILITY:
The determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or
unenforceable will not invalidate this Agreement, and this Agreement will
be construed and performed in all respects as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision was omitted insofar as the primary purpose of this
Agreement is not frustrated.
26. TIME OF ESSENCE:
Time is of the essence with respect to Supplier's obligations hereunder.
27. SUPPLIER DEPENDENCE:
Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Qwest is not responsible for knowing
Supplier's dependence on revenues from sales to Qwest in proportion to
Supplier's revenues from other customers, and Supplier agrees to release,
hold harmless and indemnify Qwest from any and all claims and liabilities
relating to Supplier's financial stability which may result from Qwest's
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
28. NO RECRUITING:
During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter,
Supplier will not recruit, directly or indirectly, any Qwest employee
involved in the performance of this Agreement ("QWEST Personnel"). In the
event that Supplier recruits and hires any Qwest Personnel, Supplier will
pay to Qwest, within thirty (30) days of the date of such hiring, an amount
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the compensation paid by Qwest to such
Qwest Personnel in the previous year as a fee for the benefit obtained by
Supplier. For purposes of this Section 28, the word "recruit" does not
include unsolicited applications for jobs, responses to public
advertisements, or candidates submitted by recruiting firms, without any
contact between Supplier and Qwest Personnel.
29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT:
This Agreement, together with all Statements of Work, exhibits and Orders,
contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter herein contained and supersedes all prior oral and written
understandings, arrangements and agreements between the parties relating
thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any non-disclosure or
confidentiality agreement entered into by the parties in advance of this
Agreement will remain effective according to its terms.
