AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
YAHOO! INC. AND WEBHIRE, INC.
SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to the Yahoo! Inc. and Webhire, Inc. Services
Agreement (the "Amendment") is entered into as of July 27, 1999 (the "Amendment
Date") between Yahoo! Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Yahoo") and Webhire, Inc., a Delaware
corporation with offices at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Webhire")
and amends the Yahoo! Inc. and Webhire, Inc. Services Agreement entered into
between Yahoo and Webhire dated June 3, 1999 (the "Agreement").
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Yahoo and Webhire hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1. NEW EQUITY. On the date of closing of a financing in which SOFTBANK Capital
Partners LP and/or its affiliates purchase twenty million dollars
($20,000,000) of Webhire's Common Stock, at least one million five hundred
thousand dollars ($1,500,000) of which is purchased by Yahoo (the "Softbank
Financing"), Webhire shall issue to Yahoo a Warrant to purchase eighty-four
thousand five hundred fifty nine (84,559) shares of Webhire's Common Stock
at a per share purchase price of $4.95 (the "New Warrant"). The New Warrant
shall be issued in the form of EXHIBIT A to this Amendment. The New Warrant
will be issued in addition to the Warrant to purchase one hundred
fourteen thousand six hundred fifty nine (114,659) shares of Webhire's
Common Stock issued to Yahoo pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Agreement. If
the Softbank Financing is not closed on or before October 29, 1999,
Webhire's obligation to issue a warrant under this section will terminate
and be without force or effect.
2. ADVERTISING ON YAHOO. Webhire will pay Yahoo a non-refundable,
non-creditable slotting fee (the "Slotting Fee") equal to two million
dollars ($2,000,000) in exchange for advertising and promotion appearing on
Yahoo Properties (the "Webhire Advertising") during the time period
beginning on the Amendment Date and ending on the date the Slotting Fee is
exhausted pursuant to this Section 2 (the "Advertising Term"). The
placement of the Webhire Advertising will be mutually agreed upon by the
parties and, in all cases, subject to inventory availability. The Slotting
Fee will be payable as follows: (i) one million dollars ($1,000,000) within
ten (10) days after the date of the closing of the Softbank Financing (the
"Softbank Closing Date"), (ii) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) no
later than
December 31, 1999 and (iii) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) no
later than March 31, 2000. The first payment of the Slotting Fee will be
credited for any amounts already paid by Webhire to Yahoo for Webhire
Advertising appearing during the Advertising Term. The parties agree that
three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the Slotting Fee shall be
designated as a setup, design and implementation (the "Setup Fee"). The
parties further agree that they shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to commence the advertising program during the third calendar quarter of
1999, and to schedule the remaining advertising and promotion evenly across
each of the subsequent four (4) quarters. Webhire Advertising shall be
credited against the full $2 million Slotting Fee (regardless of the amount
designated for the Setup Fee) at a rate that is no more than **********
************ of the price on Yahoo's then current rate card after giving
effect to, to the extent they exist, Yahoo standard volume and/or early
payment discounts (the "Webhire Advertising Price"). The Webhire
Advertising will be subject to the Standard Terms and Conditions for Yahoo!
Advertising set forth in EXHIBIT B to this Amendment. If the Softbank
Financing is not completed on or before October 29, 1999, then (a) Webhire
shall not be required to pay Yahoo the Slotting Fee, (b) Yahoo shall not be
required to place any advertising and promotion for Webhire on the Yahoo
Properties pursuant to this Section and (c) Yahoo will still be entitled to
payment from Webhire at the Webhire Advertising Price for any Webhire
Advertising that appeared before October 29, 1999 but for which Yahoo has
not yet been paid. In the event of termination of the Agreement by Webhire
pursuant to Section 9.2, Webhire's obligation to pay any portion of the
Slotting Fee due after the date of such termination shall cease and Webhire
shall be entitled to receive only the amount of Webhire Advertising which
could be obtained at the Webhire Advertising Price for the portion of the
Slotting Fee already paid.
3. RIGHT OF OFFER. Yahoo will **************************** in the event that
Yahoo, at its sole discretion, elects to create a preferred listing
program primarily related to employment or recruiting on a site solely
owned, created and branded by Yahoo (a "Program"). Yahoo shall
************************************************************************
***************************************. If Webhire declines to commence
good faith negotiations with Yahoo within ten (10) days after receiving
such written notice from Yahoo, or if the parties fail to reach
agreement within ten (10) days following the commencement of good faith
negotiations (or such later date as is agreed by the parties), Yahoo
shall ************************************************
***************************************************. Advertising and
promotional opportunities that are in the normal course of Yahoo's
business including, but not limited to, banner ads on category pages and
keyword search results pages and branded listings shall not be
considered a new preferred listing program for the purposes of this
Section 3.
4. ADVERTISING SALES. On a date mutually agreed upon after the Amendment Date,
Yahoo and Webhire will meet to consider options that would allow Webhire to
sell advertising on Yahoo Properties on behalf of Yahoo to recruiters on an
agency
2
basis. This section shall not create any obligation on either party to
enter into such an agency relationship.
5. YAHOO PREMIUM SERVICES. On a date mutually agreed upon by the parties
following the Amendment Date, Yahoo and Webhire will meet and use
reasonable efforts to agree upon the specifications for the Yahoo Premium
Services. The Yahoo Premium Services will be launched on a date mutually
agreed upon after the launch of Yahoo Recruiter.
6. OTHER. Except as expressly amended as set forth herein, the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning
as in the Agreement. The section headings appearing in this Amendment are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit,
construe or describe the scope or extent of such section or in any way
affect such section.
This Amendment has been executed by the duly authorized representatives of
the parties, effective as of the Amendment Date.

Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise: 84,559 Shares of Common Stock
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Expires: June 3, 2004
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Yahoo! Inc., a California corporation,
is entitled to subscribe for and purchase 84,559 shares (as adjusted pursuant to
the provisions hereof, the "Shares") of the Common Stock of Webhire, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price per share of $4.95 (as adjusted
pursuant to the provisions hereof, the "Exercise Price"), subject to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this
warrant ("Warrant"). As used herein, the term "Common Stock" shall mean the
Company's presently authorized Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and any
stock into or for which such Common Stock may hereafter be converted or
exchanged.
This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Services Agreement by and among the
Company and Yahoo! Inc., dated as of June 3, 1999, as amended on July 28, 1999
(the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall
have the same meaning as in the Agreement.
1. TERM. This Warrant shall become exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time from and after June 3, 2000 (the "Vesting Date"), provided
that the Agreement is in effect on the Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the

Warrant shall become exercisable, in whole or in part, upon the earliest to
occur, prior to the Vesting Date, of (i) the termination of the Agreement by the

2. METHOD OF EXERCISE; NET ISSUE EXERCISE.
(a) METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT; ISSUANCE OF NEW WARRANT. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this
Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A duly
executed) at the principal office of the Company and the payment to the Company,
by cash, bank check payable to the order of the Company or wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Company, of an amount equal to
the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being
purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificates representing
Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be
deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the
date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise
of this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to
the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days
of receipt of such notice and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or
expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with
respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be
issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible thereafter.
(b) RIGHT TO CONVERT WARRANT INTO STOCK; NET ISSUANCE.
(i) In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder under the terms
of this Warrant, the holder may elect to convert this Warrant or any portion
thereof (the "Conversion Right") into shares of Common Stock, the aggregate
value of which shares shall be equal to the value of this Warrant or the portion
thereof being converted. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
notice of the holder's intention to exercise the Conversion Right, in which
event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X= Y(A-B)
--------
A
Where:
X The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder.
Y The number of shares of Common Stock representing the portion of
this Warrant that is being converted.
A The fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
B The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the "fair market value" per share of the
Company's Common Stock shall mean, the average daily Market Price (as defined
below) during the period of the most recent 20 days, ending on the last business
day before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right, on which the
national securities exchanges were open for trading, except that if no class of
the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange or quoted in the over-counter market, the fair market value
shall be the Market Price on the last business day before the effective date of
exercise of the Conversion Right. If the Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an
exchange, or is listed on the National Market System (the "National Market
System") of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations
System (the "NASDAQ"), the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or on the National
Market System on such date or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of
the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or on the
National Market System. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the
mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on such date (x) by the NASDAQ or
(y) if
5
reports are unavailable under clause (x) above by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the Market Price as
of a specified day shall be determined in good faith by written resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. In the event of termination of this Warrant pursuant
to Section 1 above, to the extent that this Warrant is then exercisable and such
conversion would result in the issuance of shares to the holder, this Warrant
shall be deemed automatically converted under Section 2(b) above immediately
prior to the time at which it would otherwise expire.
3. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. All Shares that may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to
the issue thereof. During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised,
the Company will at all times have duly authorized and reserved, for the purpose
of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock.
4. ADJUSTMENTS TO NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number and kind of
securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below upon the
occurrence of certain events described herein.
(a) RECLASSIFICATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, change or
conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in
case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity
(other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in
the case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
(each, a "Sale Event"), the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation
or entity, as the case may be, shall issue and execute a new Warrant providing
that the holder of this Warrant shall have the same rights to exercise such new
Warrant as the holder has with respect to this Warrant and upon such exercise to
receive, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or
merger by a holder of one share of Common Stock of the Company. Such new Warrant
shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of
this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
changes, mergers and transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4(a), if a Sale Event will result in the holders of the Company's Common
Stock receiving only cash, property and/or securities which are not listed on a
national securities exchange or the National Market System (a "Warrant
Expiration Sale Event"), the Warrant shall expire and no longer be exercisable
as of the date of the closing of such Warrant Expiration Sale Event and no new
Warrant shall be issued.
(b) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time while this
Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common
Stock, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise hereof
shall be proportionately adjusted.
(c) STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
(the "Record Date"), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to the Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator
of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such dividend or distribution, and the number of Shares
subject to this Warrant shall be adjusted, from and after the Record Date, to
that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to the Record Date by a
fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price
6
immediately prior to the Record Date, and (y) the denominator of which shall be
the Exercise Price on and immediately after the Record Date, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(c).
(d) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within thirty (30) days of
such adjustment deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial officer to
the registered holder(s) hereof setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price after giving effect to such
adjustment.
5. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as may be further amended and/or restated
from time to time) or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions
of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against
impairment.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the per share fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT; DISPOSITION OF WARRANT OR SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK.
(a) COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance
hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise
hereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer,
sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon
exercise hereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). This Warrant
and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the
Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED. NO SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR
THE HOLDER IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR (iii) RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT
IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b) DISPOSITION OF WARRANT AND SHARES. With respect to any offer, sale or other
disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of
this Warrant prior to registration thereof, the holder hereof and each
subsequent holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company
prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written
opinion of such holder's counsel in form acceptable to the Company's counsel, if
reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or
other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under
the Securities Act then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of
this Warrant or such Shares and indicating whether or not under the Securities
Act certificates for this Warrant or such Shares to be sold or otherwise
disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act. Each
certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares thus transferred (except a
transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) shall bear a legend as
to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance
with the Securities Act unless, in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the
holder, such legend is not required in order to insure compliance with the
Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent in connection with the foregoing restrictions.
8. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. The Company shall provide the holder of this
Warrant with at least thirty (30) days notice (or such greater amount of notice
as Delaware law requires to be given to shareholders having the
7
right to vote at a meeting on any Sale Event) prior to (i) any Sale Event, (ii)
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (iii) the record
date for any cash dividend declared on the Company's Common Stock.
9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. This Warrant is issued and delivered on the
basis of the following:
(a) This Warrant has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms;
(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the
Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable;
(c) The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed
upon the Shares and the holders thereof are as set forth in the Company's Third
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a true and complete copy of
which has been delivered to the original holder of this Warrant.
10. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.
11. NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be
given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be in writing and
shall delivered or sent to each such holder at its address as shown on the books
of the Company or to the Company at its principal executive office and shall be
deemed received (i) if personally delivered or sent by electronic facsimile
transmission, upon actual receipt, or (ii) if sent by reputable overnight
courier service, twenty-four hours after deposit with such courier service, or
(iii) if sent by certified mail (postage prepaid), return receipt requested,
forty-eight hours after deposit in the mail.
12. BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS; NON-ASSIGNABILITY. Except as provided in
Section 4(a) above, this Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation
succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets. This Warrant may not be transferred
or assigned (by operation of law or otherwise) by the holder without the prior
written consent of the Company, except to a successor-in-interest of all or
substantially all of the holder's assets or to an affiliate of the holder formed
solely for the purpose of holding securities and other investments.
13. LOST WARRANTS OR STOCK CERTIFICATES. The Company covenants to the holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonable satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate issued upon exercise hereof and, in the case of any such loss, theft
or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation
of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company shall make and deliver a new
Warrant or stock certificate, or like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.
14. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of
this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of
this Warrant.
15. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Because legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the
provisions of this Warrant, equitable relief, including specific performance and
injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions hereof.
16. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If any provisions of this Warrant shall be determined to be
illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the
legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
17. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions.

credit, Advertiser will be invoiced on the first day of the contract period set
forth on the Insertion Order and payment shall be made to Yahoo within thirty
(30) days from the date of invoice ("Due Date"). Amounts paid after the Due Date

or brand name belonging to or claimed by a third party.
3. USAGE STATISTICS. Unless specified in the Insertion Order, Yahoo makes no
guarantees with respect to usage statistics or levels of impressions for any
advertisement. Advertiser acknowledges that delivery statistics provided by
Yahoo are the official, definitive measurements of Yahoo's performance on any
delivery obligations provided in the Insertion Order. The processes and
technology used to generate such statistics have been certified and audited by
an independent agency. No other measurements or usage statistics (including
those of Advertiser or a third party ad server) shall be accepted by Yahoo or
have bearing on the Insertion Order.
4. RENEWAL. Except as expressly set forth in the Insertion Order, any renewal of
the Insertion Order and acceptance of any additional advertising order shall be

by Yahoo from time to time.

advertisement in accordance with the schedule provided in the Insertion Order,
(ii) Yahoo fails to deliver the number of total page views specified in the
Insertion Order (if any) by the end of the specified period, or (iii) of any
other failure, technical or otherwise, of such advertisement to appear as
provided in the Insertion Order, the sole liability of Yahoo to Advertiser shall
be limited to, at Yahoo's sole discretion, a pro rata refund of the advertising
fee representing undelivered page views, placement of the advertisement at a
later time in a comparable position, or extension of the term of the Insertion
Order until total page views are delivered. In no event shall Yahoo be
responsible for any consequential, special, punitive or other damages,
including, without limitation, lost revenue or profits, in any way arising out
of or related to the Insertion Order/Standard Terms or publication of the
advertisement, even if Yahoo has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Without limiting the foregoing, Yahoo shall have no liability for any
failure or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood,
insurrection, earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes
whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation
interruption of any kind, work slowdown or any other condition beyond the
control of Yahoo affecting production or delivery in any manner.
7. ADVERTISERS REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION. Advertisements are accepted
upon the representation that Advertiser has the right to publish the contents of
the advertisement without infringing the rights of any third party and without
violating any law. In consideration of such publication, Advertiser agrees, at
its own expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Yahoo, and its
employees, representatives, agents and affiliates, against any and all expenses
and losses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred
by Yahoo in connection with any claims, administrative proceedings or criminal
investigations of any kind arising out of publication of the advertisement
and/or any material of Advertiser to which users can link through the
advertisement (including without limitation, any claim of trademark or copyright
infringement, defamation, breach of confidentiality, privacy violation, false or
deceptive advertising or sales practices).
8. PROVISION OF ADVERTISING MATERIALS. Advertiser will provide all materials for
