TO

YAHOO! PUBLISHER NETWORK SERVICE ORDER

THIS AMENDMENT No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) is made and entered into as of September 25, 2007 by Overture Services, Inc. (“OSI”) and Overture Search Services (Ireland) Limited (“OSSIL” and collectively with OSI, “Overture”), on the one hand, and MDNH, Inc. and MDNH International Ltd (collectively, “Publisher”), on the other hand, and amends the Yahoo! Publisher Network Service Order #1 ###-###-#### between Overture and Publisher entered into as of August 7, 2007 (the “Agreement”).

In consideration of mutual covenants and conditions, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Publisher and Overture hereby agree as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended to add the following after Section C of Attachment A to the Agreement:

“D. Additional Requirements for Graphics

1. Implementations. Publisher may display (a) non-clickable mouse-over images displaying the homepage of an Advertiser’s website in connection with Domain Match Results displayed on a results page (“Mouse-over Images”) and/or (b) Hyperlinks in the form of clickable graphical images (“Graphical Hyperlinks”) which link to a results page ((a) and (b) collectively, “Graphics”); in each of the aforementioned (a) and (b), such Graphics shall be provided by Publisher, utilizing Publisher’s technology or the technology of a Publisher vendor, in a manner that is substantially similar to the mock-ups attached as Exhibit A to Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement. If Publisher wishes to materially alter the manner in which Graphics are displayed, Publisher must provide written notice thereof to Overture and Overture may approve or disapprove such new design. For the avoidance of doubt, the Graphics shall not redirect the user to an Advertiser’s web page when clicked upon by a user.

2. Representations and Warranties. Publisher represents and warrants that it has the legal right, power and authority to exploit the Graphics as contemplated in this Agreement.

3. Prohibited Advertisers. “Prohibited Advertisers” are Advertisers who Overture believes for business or contractual reasons should not have Mouse-over Images displayed in connection with their Domain Match Results. Overture may provide Publisher with a list of Prohibited Advertisers (“Prohibited Advertiser List”) for whom Mouse-over Images shall not be displayed. Overture shall have the right to update the Prohibited Advertiser List from time to time in its sole discretion with at least *** prior written notice.

4. Display. Overture shall have the right to request that Publisher block or change the Mouse-over Images used for one or more Advertisers, or remove a Graphical Hyperlink (as set forth in the guidelines attached as Exhibit B to Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement) for any reason or no reason. Publisher shall change or block, or cause to be changed or blocked in the case of a vendor technology, the Graphics within *** of its receipt (including by email) of such request hereunder from Overture.

[***] Certain information in this agreement has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

5. Guidelines. The parties shall abide by the guidelines set forth as Exhibit B to Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement in order to determine how Graphics should be displayed in connection with Publisher’s Offerings and how to handle comments from Advertisers and Third Parties (as defined in Exhibit B to Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement). These guidelines may be changed from time to time in Overture’s sole discretion with at least *** prior written notice.

6. Indemnification. In addition to and without limitation of Publisher’s indemnification obligations under Section 15 of Attachment B (Terms and Conditions) to this Agreement, Publisher shall defend and/or settle, and pay damages awarded pursuant to, any claim brought against Overture and/or Overture Related Parties, its or their officers, directors, employees, agents and third party service providers, arising from or related to any aspect of Publisher’s use of Graphics, including but not limited to the selection or display of Graphics in connection with Publisher’s Offerings and/or any technology used in the implementation of Graphics as outlined herein. The limitation of liability described in Section 17 of Attachment B (Terms and Conditions) to this Agreement shall not apply to any amounts owed by Publisher under this Section.

7. Termination. In addition to the foregoing, Overture shall have the right, for any reason or no reason, in its sole discretion, to immediately require Publisher to terminate the implementation of Graphics described in this Section D.”

2. The Agreement is amended to provide that references in the Agreement to “this Agreement” or “the Agreement” (including indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereof) shall be deemed references to the Agreement as amended hereby. All capitalized defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement.

3. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Amendment No. 1 and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment No. 1 shall govern.

[***] Certain information in this agreement has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

In the case of listings related to specific products, the Graphical Hyperlink of the product may contain the trade name.

5. All Mouse-over Images shall be updated at least every ***.

Advertiser Feedback
