defend, indemnify, save and hold Network80 harmless from any demands,

servants officers and employees, that may arise or result from any service

is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining
provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Network80 and
Customer agree to renegotiate in good faith any term held invalid and to be
bound by mutually agreed substitute provision.
XI. Disputes
The parties shall try to resolve
all disputes that might arise out of this agreement in a spirit of cooperation
without formal procedures. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved (other than
the collection of money due on unpaid invoices) and other than the injunctive
relief referred to in paragraph 10 shall be subject to arbitration upon written
demand of either party. Arbitration shall take place in St. Louis, Missouri or at a different location if the parties so agree. The arbitration will take
place before an arbitration panel chosen as follows: The parties shall each
choose an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator
and determine the third arbitrator's pay. Each party shall have one veto over
the choice of the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall schedule an
informal proceeding, hear the arguments, and decide the matter by secret
majority vote. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall pay the
costs of its own arbitrator, and shall pay half of the other costs of the
arbitration proceeding. Each party shall have the right to have the proceedings
transcribed. The arbitrators will not have the authority to award punitive
damages or any other form of relief not contemplated in the contract. The
majority of arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting forth the basis
on which they arrived at the decision regarding each issue submitted to
arbitration; the dissenting arbitrator, if any, shall not issue a dissenting
opinion. Regarding each issue submitted to arbitration, the decision will be
final and binding only to the extent it is accompanied by a written explanation
of the basis upon which it was arrived at. Judgment upon the award, if any,
rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Should any legal action
permissible under this agreement be taken to enforce the conditions and terms of
this agreement, in particular the right to collect money due on unpaid invoices,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable legal fees and
expenses incurred at the trial and appellate levels.
XII. Confidentiality
Customer acknowledges that by
reason of their relationship, both customer and Network80 may have access to
certain products, information and materials relating to the other party's
business, which may include business plans, customers, software technology, and
marketing plans that are confidential and of substantial value to either party,
respectively, and which value would be impaired if such information were
disclosed to third parties. Consequently, both Network80 and customer agree that
it will not use in any way for its own account or for the account of any third
party, nor disclose to any third party, any such information revealed to it by
either party, as the case may be.
Customer and Network80 further
agree that it will take every appropriate precaution to protect the
confidentiality of such information. In the event of termination of this
agreement, there shall be no use or disclosure by either party of any such
confidential information in its possession, and all confidential documents shall
be returned to the rightful owner, or destroyed. The provisions of this section
shall survive the termination of the agreement for any reason.
Upon any breach or threatened
breach of this section, either party shall be entitled to injunctive relief,
which relief will not be contested by the Customer or Network80.

process as set forth in paragraph , all notices may be sent by e-mail, fax, or
