Buyer shall not assume any employment agreement or other Contract, or any severance obligations or other compensatory programs or Employee Benefit Plan, including equity compensation plans, covering such Retained Employees in effect on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall take sufficient steps to terminate any obligations and/or provide required notice under such agreements, plans or programs prior to Closing.

7.2 Seller’s Losses. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys from, against, for and in respect of any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any of them by reason of (a) any representation or warranty made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement being untrue or incorrect in any respect; (b) any failure by Buyer to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement; or (c) the Assumed Liabilities.

7.3 Losses. “Losses” shall mean all damages (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement with the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), losses, obligations, liabilities, claims, deficiencies, diminution in value, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees), Taxes, penalties, fines, interest, monetary sanctions and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred to comply with injunctions and other court and agency orders, and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or to establish or enforce an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder.

7.4 Notice of Loss. Except to the extent set forth in the next sentence, a Party will not have any liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement with respect to a particular matter unless a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the breach or other matter which is asserted has been given to the Indemnifying Party and, in addition, if such matter arises out of a suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim, such notice is given promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party is given notice of the claim or the commencement of the suit, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. With respect to Buyer’s Losses, Seller shall be the “Indemnifying Party” and Buyer and each of its Affiliates, members, shareholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the “Indemnified Party.” With respect to Seller’s Losses, Buyer shall be the “Indemnifying Party” and Seller and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the “Indemnified Party.”

 27

7.5 Right to Defend. Upon receipt of notice of any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding for which indemnification might be claimed by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must reasonably cooperate in any such defense or other action; provided, however, (a) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding involving or related to Taxes, customers of the Business or criminal investigations, (b) the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard, (c) as a condition to undertaking such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided hereunder, and (d) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding in the event the Indemnified Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such matter. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to take control of the defense and investigation of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled (i) to employ and engage attorneys of its choice that are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same and (ii) to compromise or settle such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that if (a) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good faith or (b) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

 28

7.6 Cooperation. Buyer, Seller, and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim by a third party and, during normal business hours, shall afford each other access to their books and records and employees relating to such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim and shall furnish each other all such further information that they have the right and power to furnish as may reasonably be necessary to defend such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim.

7.7 Limitation on Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liability of the parties under this Agreement shall be limited as follows:

(a) In no event shall any amounts be recovered from a Party for any matter for which a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses (“Claim Notice”) is not delivered to the opposite Party prior to the time that such representations and warranties terminate pursuant to Section 7.7(b).

(b) The representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and such representations and warranties shall terminate eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 (Existence and Good Standing), 3.2 (Authorization), 3.6(a) (Title to Assets and Properties), 3.19 (Brokerage, Financial Advisor or Finder Fees), 4.1 (Existence and Good Standing), 4.2 (Authorization) and 4.5 (Brokerage, Financial Advisor or Finder Fees) shall survive indefinitely, and (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 3.4 (Tax Matters) shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the representations and warranties listed in clauses (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”); provided, however, that any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of a Claim Notice delivered in good faith in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.7(a) shall survive with respect only to the specific matter described in such Claim Notice until the earlier to occur of (y) the date on which a final nonappealable resolution of the matter described in such Claim Notice has been reached or (z) the date on which the matter described in such Claim Notice has otherwise reached final resolution.

(c) Neither Party shall be entitled to indemnification unless and only to the extent that the Losses of such Party exceed $25,000 in the aggregate (the “Threshold”), after which point such Party shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses, including those below the Threshold. The maximum amount of Losses incurred by either Party or its Indemnified Parties pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) or 7.2(a) for which the other Party shall be liable pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be an amount not to exceed $500,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses resulting from a breach by either Party of any Fundamental Representation or from fraud or an intentional misrepresentation shall not be subject to the Threshold or to the Cap. The indemnification provisions of Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement.

 29

7.8 Characterization of Indemnity Payment for Tax Purposes. All amounts payable under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Total Consideration, except as otherwise required by law.

7.9 Materiality. It is understood and agreed among the Parties that, for purposes of this Article VII, solely for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses from an inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty which is qualified as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality limitations or contains an exception for matters that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, such representation or warranty shall be read as if it were not so qualified or contained no such exception.

ARTICLE VIII
POST-CLOSING MATTERS

8.1 Access; Cooperation. From and after the Closing, Seller will give to Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their authorized employees, agents and representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to its properties, books, records and employees to the extent necessary to permit Buyer or any of its Affiliates to comply with its financial reporting, accounting or auditing obligations with respect to the Business, and otherwise to the extent that Buyer, in requesting such access, reasonably deems such access necessary or desirable in order to determine any matter relating to its rights and obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with its Tax, regulatory, litigation, contractual or other legitimate matters.

8.2 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

(a) For a period from the Closing Date until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, in the Territory, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in the online dating business or the dating business generally or that otherwise competes with the Business (a “Restricted Business”); provided, however, that

(i) the other lines of business owned and operated by Seller as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Other Business Lines”), including but not limited to the site owned and operated by Seller located at www.Paltalk.com (the “Paltalk Site”), shall not be deemed to be a Restricted Business so long as:

(A) Seller does not market or promote any such Other Business Line as a dating site, or with the use of words, phrases, images or video related to “dating,” “singles,” “love,” “romance,” “marriage,” “hooking up,” “partners,” “partnership,” “couples,” or any formulation similar or related to the aforementioned (collectively, “Restricted Content”) (provided, however, that words and phrases such as “meeting new people,” “finding friends” or similar or related formulations shall not be deemed to be Restricted Content); and

 30

(B) on and after the Closing Date, Seller does not create user categories, groups, chatrooms, forums or other content or functionality on any Other Business Line that uses or is thematically based on the Restricted Content (provided, however, that (I) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that those user categories, groups, chatrooms and forums that are already in existence and active on any Other Business Line as of the Closing Date shall not be deemed to violate this Section 8.2(a), so long as any of the foregoing is not materially modified during the Restricted Period, and (II) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that content on any Other Business Line that is generated by its users and the creation of which is not initiated by Seller or with Seller’s active assistance and that uses or is thematically based on the Restricted Content shall not be deemed to violate this Section 8.2(a)); and

(ii) the restrictions contained in this Section 8.2(a) shall not restrict the acquisition by Seller or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in a Restricted Business.

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.2(a)(i), Seller covenants and agrees that, no later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, it shall remove any content on the Paltalk Site consisting of “internally generated” blog content created by Seller that uses or is thematically based on the Restricted Content.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of Buyer or its Affiliates to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual, or (ii) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Business, or prospective client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Business with whom active discussions or negotiations ensued (including any existing or former customer of Seller and any Person that becomes a client or customer of Buyer after the Closing) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with Buyer, to terminate or negatively modify any such actual or prospective relationship with Buyer or its Affiliates.

(c) From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors, managers and employees of Buyer or its Affiliates or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Buyer or its Affiliates, any Confidential Information (as defined below). Seller and its directors, officers, employees or Affiliates shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by Law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, Seller shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Buyer with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order. “Confidential Information” is any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in the Business and includes, but is not limited to, proprietary technology, operating procedures and methods of operation, financial statements and other financial information, trade secrets, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, target markets, advertising techniques, pricing policies and information, the substance of agreements with customers, subcontractors and others, marketing and similar arrangements, servicing and training programs and arrangements, customer and subcontractor lists, customer profiles, customer preferences, other trade secrets and any other documents embodying confidential and proprietary information. Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder.

 31

(d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 8.2 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 8.2 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 8.2 will be inadequate. Therefore, Buyer will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 8.2 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 8.2 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Buyer may have hereunder or at law or in equity. In the event Buyer were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 8.2, the portion of the Total Consideration which is allocated by the Parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.

(e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 8.2 is unenforceable, unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy shall be enforced against the applicable Party.

8.3 Non-Disparagement. Each Party shall not and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to (a) make any negative, derogatory, defaming or disparaging statements or comments, oral or written, about the Business, the other Party or any of the other Party’s Affiliates, directors, managers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents or representatives or (b) engage in any conduct or communication with the intent or that has the effect of disparaging the Business, the other Party or any of the other Party’s Affiliates, directors, managers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents or representatives.

8.4 Rights of Endorsement. From and after the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right and authority to collect all receivables and other Excluded Assets and Seller agrees that it will transfer or deliver promptly to Buyer from time to time, any cash or other property that Seller may receive with respect to any of the Acquired Assets.
