(i) Indemnification; Limitation on Damages. -------------------------------------- -21- (A) CMGI and the Subsidiary jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder and its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "Claims") arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by CMGI or the Subsidiary of any of their respective representations, warranties, obligations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement or in connection with the enforcement by the Stockholder of any of CMGI's or the Subsidiary's obligations hereunder or thereunder, including the enforcement of this indemnity, and for any and all fees and costs paid by the Stockholder to the Collateral Agent, other than the initial fees paid to the Collateral Agent to hold the PCCW Shares. (B) CMGI and the Subsidiary jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, judgments and amounts paid in settlement, in each such case to or for the benefit of PCCW, and charges, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding or investigation initiated by or on behalf of or for the benefit of PCCW against the Stockholder, or appeal taken from the foregoing (collectively, "PCCW Claims"), by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency or body (whether located in Ireland, Hong Kong, the United States or any other jurisdiction), whether pending or threatened ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such PCCW Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of, relate to or are based upon a claim or allegation by or on behalf of PCCW that the entering into of the Transaction Documents by CMGI and the Subsidiary or the performance by CMGI or the Subsidiary of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents breaches or conflicts with or allegedly breaches or allegedly conflicts with Section 6.2 or Section 6.7 of the PCCW Agreement. (C) The indemnities set forth in Sections 8(i)(A) and (B) above shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the Closing and the transfer of the Stockholder PCCW Shares and Other Rights by the Stockholder. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under Section 8(i)(A) or 8(i)(B) of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim or PCCW Claim, such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim or PCCW Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8(i), deliver to CMGI and the Subsidiary a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CMGI and the Subsidiary shall be responsible for paying reasonable fees for only one separate legal counsel in the United States -22- and one separate counsel in the jurisdiction in which the Claim or PCCW Claim is being made or brought for the Stockholder and the Other Stockholders in the aggregate. CMGI and the Subsidiary shall keep the Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. Neither CMGI nor the Subsidiary shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. Neither CMGI nor the Subsidiary shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim, PCCW Claim or litigation. The failure to deliver written notice to CMGI or the Subsidiary within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve CMGI or the Subsidiary of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 8(i), except to the extent that CMGI or the Subsidiary is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnity agreements contained in Sections 8(i)(A) and 8(i)(B) shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. (D) The maximum liability of CMGI and the Subsidiary under Section 8(i)(A) or otherwise as a result of a breach of this Agreement (exclusive of (i) any PCCW Claim under Section 8(i)(B) and (ii) any other claim asserted by a third party against the Stockholder; provided, however, that any claim hereunder by the Stockholder for damages owing to a third party arising out of a market or financial transaction with such third party relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be so excluded) shall not exceed the sum of (a) the product of (i) number of Stockholder PCCW Shares which the Company failed to deliver on a PCCW Share Delivery Date, multiplied by (ii) the higher of (I) the closing sale price (in U.S. dollars) of the ordinary shares of PCCW (as reported on Bloomberg Financial Markets) on such PCCW Share Delivery Date and (II) the closing sale price (in U.S. dollars) of the ordinary shares of PCCW (as reported on Bloomberg Financial Markets) on the trading day immediately preceding the date CMGI or the Subsidiary pays all amounts in respect of the Claims, PCCW Claims or claims of breach of this Agreement, plus (b) unpaid Liquidity Payment Amounts, plus (c) the value of owed, but undelivered Other Rights plus (d) reasonable legal fees and expenses in respect of the Stockholder's enforcing or defending its rights under this Agreement or in defending against any Indemnified Damages (such amount is referred to herein as the "Maximum Amount"). CMGI and the Subsidiary may satisfy its indemnity obligation pursuant to clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence by assigning and delivering to the Indemnified Person freely transferable ordinary shares of PCCW having a value equal to the indemnification obligation, based on the closing sale price (in U.S. dollars) of the ordinary shares of PCCW (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) on the trading day immediately preceding the date CMGI or the Subsidiary assigns and delivers such shares to the Indemnified Person. (E) NEITHER CMGI NOR THE SUBSIDIARY SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR SPECIAL DAMAGES -23- ARISING HEREUNDER WHICH ARE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND WHICH ARE BASED ON MARKET OR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS (OTHER THAN TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED TO BE PERFORMED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT) BY THE STOCKHOLDER (OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR RELATED PARTIES) WITH A THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE ORDINARY SHARES OF PCCW. THE STOCKHOLDER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING HEREUNDER.

From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, the Stockholder shall not be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from CMGI, any of its subsidiaries or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing.

In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant or Section 4.08 by CMGI, any of its subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, in addition to any other remedy provided herein, in this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, the Stockholder shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material nonpublic information without the prior approval by CMGI, its subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents; provided that CMGI or the Subsidiary does not publicly disclose such information within 24 hours of the Stockholder (i) notifying CMGI of the breach of the immediately preceding sentence and (ii) first providing CMGI with the Stockholder's proposed form of disclosure. The Stockholder agrees to make any reasonable changes (determined in the Stockholder's sole discretion) to such disclosure requested by CMGI within 24 hours of the Stockholder first providing CMGI with the Stockholder's proposed form of disclosure. The Stockholder shall not have any liability to CMGI, its subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents for any such disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither CMGI, the Subsidiary nor the Stockholder shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that CMGI -24- shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Stockholder, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Stockholder shall be consulted by CMGI in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). (k) Further Assurances.

The covenants and agreements contained in Sections 1, 5 and 8 hereof, shall survive the Closing without limitation. (o) Remedies. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the -------- Pledge Agreement, the Stockholder shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and all of the rights which the Stockholder has under law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement by any party hereto or thereto and, accordingly, any person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, in addition to any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or therein, shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. (p) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Subsidiary or CMGI ----------------- makes a payment or payments to the Stockholder hereunder or the Subsidiary makes a payment or payments pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or the Stockholder enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Subsidiary or CMGI by a trustee, receiver, examiner or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy or insolvency law, common -25- law or equitable cause of action of any jurisdiction), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. (q) Qualification of Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the ----------------------- contrary in Section 4, no representation or warranty set forth in (1) clause (i) of the 2nd to last sentence of Section 4.01, (2) Section 4.02, as it relates to any consent or authorization of any third party, or (3) the last sentence of Section 4.09, shall be deemed to have been breached by CMGI or the Subsidiary solely as a result of any act, event, circumstance or occurrence solely arising out of or based upon a claim or allegation by PCCW that the entering into of the Transaction Documents by CMGI and the Subsidiary or the performance by CMGI or the Subsidiary of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents breaches or conflicts with or allegedly breaches or allegedly conflicts with Section 6.2 or Section 6.7 of the PCCW Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5, no obligation or covenant set forth in (1) Section 5.04, (2) clause (c) of Section 5.06 or (3) the first sentence of Section 5.07, shall be deemed to have been breached by CMGI or the Subsidiary solely as a result of any act, event, circumstance or occurrence solely resulting from the incurrence of or any liability, lien or similar charge or the imposition of any injunction, judgment, writ, decree, motion, order or other action of any court or governmental agent or authority resulting from or arising out of a claim or allegation by PCCW that the entering into of the Transaction Documents by CMGI and the Subsidiary or the performance by CMGI or the Subsidiary of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents breaches or conflicts with or allegedly breaches or allegedly conflicts with Section 6.2 or Section 6.7 of the PCCW Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a PCCW Share Delivery Date shall not occur prior to 2 December 2002 solely as a result of any claim or allegation by PCCW that the entering into of the Transaction Documents by CMGI and the Subsidiary or the performance by CMGI or the Subsidiary of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents breaches or conflicts with or allegedly breaches or allegedly conflicts with Section 6.2 or Section 6.7 of the PCCW Agreement.
