<PAGE>

(a) Whenever any Loss shall be asserted against or incurred by a
DataNet Indemnitee or InfoPak Indemnitee (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the
Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof (a "CLAIM") to
InfoPak or DataNet, respectively (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"). The
Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party in reasonable
detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect
to the Claim (including in any case copies of any summons, complaint or
other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim,
demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the
same). The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) Any controversy involving only DataNet and InfoPak regarding
whether a Claim is properly chargeable, under the terms of this Article
VII, where the amount of the claim is liquidated, involves only a claim
for money damages, and does not relate to the ownership of any
intellectual property rights, shall be settled by binding arbitration
administered in Phoenix, Arizona by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules
and judgment upon the award rendered through arbitration may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be
held in Phoenix, Arizona. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall
be borne equally by DataNet and InfoPak. Each party shall be
responsible for its own legal fees and expenses for the proceeding.
(c) If the Claim is based on a claim of a person that is not a party to
this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall, at its expense, undertake
the defense of such Claim with attorneys of its own choosing reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying
Party, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of a Claim from
the Indemnified Party, fails to defend the Claim, the Indemnified Party
may, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, undertake the defense of the
Claim and may compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of
the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Claim,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party
under this Section 7.3 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except
for such expenses incurred in connection with cooperation with, or at
the request of, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent
it if, in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment, based upon the
advice of counsel, it is advisable, in light of the separate interests
of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, for the
Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, and in that
event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall
be paid by the Indemnifying Party.
(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment,
except with the consent of the Indemnified Party given in its sole
discretion, or enter into any settlement, except with the consent of
the Indemnified Party, which such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In the event the Indemnified Party refuses to
consent to the entry of a judgment or a settlement for which
Indemnifying Party is solely and entirely responsible and has indicated
its sole and entire responsibility in writing to the Indemnified Party,
following such refusal, the liability
10
<PAGE>
of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party will be fixed at the
amount of any money damages provided in the proposed judgment or
settlement.

entitled as a result of any violation of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.3 Force Majeure. No party hereto shall be liable for failure

if such failure is caused by any event or condition not existing as of the date

limitation, by fire, flood, typhoon, earthquake, explosion, strikes, labor
troubles or other industrial disturbances, unavoidable accidents, war (declared

party hereto.
SECTION 8.5 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement
shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, all
other provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect

underlying intent of the parties expressed in this Agreement or unless the
invalid or unenforceable provisions comprise an integral part of, or are

such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate to Maker in writing.
Maker shall have the privilege of prepaying in whole or in part any and
all amounts due hereunder at any time and such prepayments may be made without
penalty or premium. No partial prepayment shall postpone or interrupt payments
of future installments of principal which shall continue to be due and payable
as agreed herein above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained,
herein, Maker shall give Payee at least thirty (30) days written notice (the
"Notice") of the payment or prepayment of any amounts due hereunder.
The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to Maker

days thereafter; or (b) if Maker shall voluntarily suspend transaction of its

Code, as amended, or any other Federal or State law, or shall fail to have such
a petition dismissed within thirty (30) days after its filing; or (d) if an

dishonor or payment or acceptance, notice of protest and notice of any renewal,
extension, modification or change of time, manner, place or terms of payment,
are hereby waived by Maker or any endorsers, sureties, and guarantors hereof.
Any notice to Maker shall be sufficiently served for all purposes if placed in
the mail addressed to, or left upon the premises, at the address of Maker.
Any failure or delay of Payee to exercise any right hereunder shall not
be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at
any other time or times. The waiver by Payee of a breach or default of any
provisions of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default thereof.
