(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during
the terms of each of their current contracts with InteliHealth, but not for any
renewals or extensions thereof, each of [*****] and [*****] may run
advertisements in all areas of the InteliHealth Site other than the Company
Sponsored Zones (as defined below), including advertisements which promote the
sale of vitamins or nutritional supplements.
(a) Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the

2. SPONSORSHIP PLACEMENTS.
(a) During the Term, in no way limiting the foregoing in Section 1, Company will
receive the following sponsorship and promotional placements on the InteliHealth

Section 2(a)(i) above.
(iv) Additional Sponsorships on InteliHealth Site. To the extent

Sponsored Zone means that: (A) Company shall be the sole and exclusive vitamin
and nutrition supplement sponsor of each Company Sponsored Zone, and, except for
Permitted Content or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Competitor

Sponsored Zones; and (B) other than (i) Company anchor tenant positions, sponsor
buttons, badge placements, banner advertisements or other Company promotions,
(ii) Permitted Content or (iii) as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no
content, including content in any anchor tenant, sponsor button, badge and
banner advertisement space, promoting the sale of vitamins or nutritional
supplements, whether by a Company Competitor or anyone else, shall appear in the
Company Sponsored Zones. For purposes of this paragraph, except for Permitted
Content or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the term Competitor Content
shall include the content of all drugstores, including, without limitation, the

Center, but shall not be allowed to promote the sale of specific vitamins or
nutrition supplements therein. InteliHealth's obligations with respect to each
area of the InteliHealth Site set forth in this Section 2(a) shall also apply to
all areas which are successors or replacements to such areas and to all new
vitamin and nutrition areas in the Vitamin and Nutrition Resource Center other

change or alter Company's prominence, in terms of either size, placement or
frequency, within such zone so that such prominence is no longer at least
equivalent to such prominence on its launch date.

with respect to such advertisements or sponsorship, notify Company in writing
prior to the launch of such area and shall negotiate in good faith with Company
to allow Company to be the exclusive advertiser and sponsor of such area on such
third party Web site.
(d) For each of the placements described in this Section 2, Company shall
provide InteliHealth with all trademarks, logos or banners which will be
displayed on the InteliHealth Site and which will link to the Company Site.
Where feasible, the placement may include mutually agreeable text. The parties
hereto agree to cooperate and work together in the establishment of all links
placed pursuant to this Agreement. Links from one party's Site to the other
party's Site shall in no way alter the look, feel or functionality of the linked
Site. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, all placements under this Agreement must comply with

and other elements of its Site; provided that if any such modifications
by InteliHealth significantly affect Company's sponsorship placements,
the parties will work together in good faith to provide Company with a
comparable package of placements.
3. Each party reserves the right to reject or remove any content,
information, data, logos, trademarks and other materials (collectively,
"Materials") provided by the other from its servers at any time if, in
its sole opinion, it believes that any such Materials infringe any
third-party intellectual property right, are libelous or invade the

regulations, or jeopardize the health or safety of any person. Each party
will use reasonable efforts to contact the other prior to removing any of
its Materials from its servers and will work with the other to resolve
the issue as quickly as possible.
4. Each party will be solely responsible for the development, operation and

party and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners, members
and other owners, against any and all claims, actions, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) (any or all of the foregoing
hereinafter referred to as "Losses") insofar as such Losses (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (i) any representation
or warranty made by it herein being untrue, (ii) any breach by it of the

instrument. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto
and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that
