1.1 If Customer chooses to display Monetized URLs on the Customer

Monetized URLs.

Inktomi Paid Inclusion Program Customers, but shall not provide the number of
Click Throughs specifically coming from Customer).
2.7 In the event that Inktomi's Redirect URL service is down,
Inktomi will modify its Results in such a way that the outage is transparent to
Customer and Customer's users within fifteen (15) minutes of the outage by
