The purchase price under the Agreement is $600,000 in cash and 95,166 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 47,583 shares will be placed in escrow for 6 months in order to support certain indemnification obligations of CRG under the terms of the Agreement.

2. PRE-CLOSING AGREEMENTS.
2.1 Conduct of the Business. During the period from the Agreement Date and continuing until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and (y) the Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser:
(a) Seller will conduct the Business in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted and in material compliance with all Applicable Law (except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement).
(b) Seller will (i) pay or perform all of its Business related obligations when due, and (ii) continue to develop the Business consistent with past practice.
(c) Seller will not engage in any practice, take any action, fail to take any action, or enter into any transaction as a result of which a Material Adverse Effect is likely to occur; provided, however, that the failure to make additional capital investments or hire additional employees will not in any case result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Seller will confer with the Purchaser concerning matters of a material nature to the Business, but subject to reasonable restrictions necessary to preserve confidential information from being disclosed to Purchaser or to prevent Seller from relinquishing the attorney-client privilege. Seller shall cause the Employees to be available to Purchaser to discuss the Business during regular business hours.

The Employees who accept and commence employment with the Purchaser are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” Seller will not take, and will cause each of its Affiliates not to take, any action which would impede, hinder, interfere or otherwise compete with the Purchaser’s effort to hire any Transferred Employees. The Purchaser shall assume no liability for any obligations of Seller or any other Person to any Employee unless and until such Employee becomes a Transferred Employee, and in that case, only to the extent agreed in writing by the Purchaser. For purposes of clarity, any such offer of employment shall be contingent on the Closing occurring and shall terminate and be of no force and effect if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.5.
2.3 Additional Listing Application. The Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event no later than seven days after the Agreement Date, file an Additional Listing Application with the NYSE MKT (“NYSE MKT”) with respect to the MGT Shares and the Escrow Shares.
3. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS.
3.1 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, grants, transfers and delivers to the Purchaser and its successors and assigns, and the Purchaser hereby accepts, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever (other than Liens imposed by commercially available off-the-shelf software), the Purchased Assets (the “Asset Purchase”). The “Purchased Assets” shall mean the following:
(a) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Business, including all Intellectual Property related to the website www.draftday.com, and including the Intellectual Property described on Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, the user mailing list (including current and former users), player data and source code;

3.2 Liabilities Assumed and Not Assumed.
(a) Other than the Assumed Liabilities, the Purchaser shall assume no debts, obligations, contracts, leases or liabilities of Seller, and will not be obligated to pay, perform or discharge, any debts, obligations, contracts, leases or liabilities of Seller, whether arising out of occurrences prior to, at or after the Closing Date (the “Retained Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Seller shall pay all amounts owing under the Transferred Contracts through the Closing Date, (ii) Seller shall retain all obligations to fund or otherwise provide benefits accrued before and through the Closing Date by Employees under the Employee Plans, and (iii) Seller shall retain any liabilities or obligations relating to current or former Employees accrued as of the Closing Date.
(b) “Assumed Liabilities” means (i) Seller’s obligations under the Transferred Contracts arising on and after the Closing Date, (ii) all obligations of the Seller related to Player Deposits and non-cash items such as bonus funds existing as of the Closing Date, and (iii) Seller’s obligations related to the Purchased Assets that arise on or after the Closing Date.
3.3 Cash Payment; Issuance of Common Stock. At the Closing, in connection with the Asset Purchase described in Section 3.1 above, the Purchaser shall (i) pay to Seller in cash an amount equal to $600,000 (the “Cash Payment”), (ii) issue to Seller 47,583 shares of Common Stock (the “MGT Shares”), and (iii) deliver to the Escrow Agent 47,583 shares of Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”), issued in the name of Seller. The stock certificates representing the MGT Shares and the Escrow Shares shall bear a legend stating that they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and such other restrictions described in Section 6.4(b) hereof.
3.4 Purchase Price; Allocation of the Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be the sum of the Cash Payment and the value of the MGT Shares and the Escrow Shares issued pursuant to Section 3.3 (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Schedule 3.4 to be provided by Purchaser to Seller no later than 30 days after the Closing Date. Each of Seller and the Purchaser shall report the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets for all tax purposes in a manner consistent with such allocation, and neither of them shall take a position inconsistent with such allocation on any tax return, before any taxing authority or in any judicial proceeding that is, in any manner, inconsistent with such allocation without the consent of the other unless specifically required pursuant to a determination by an applicable taxing authority.

Absent fraud or any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.5 (Purchased Assets), (i) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the MGT Indemnitees under Section 8.2(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the MGT Indemnitees in respect thereof exceeds $5,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), whereupon Seller shall be obligated in respect of all Losses so identified without regard to the Threshold Amount from the first dollar of such Losses, (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the MGT Indemnitees under Section 8.2(i) for aggregate Losses exceeding the value of the Escrow Shares, and (iii) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the MGT Indemnitees under this Agreement for aggregate Losses exceeding the Purchase Price.

As soon as the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Purchaser and the Seller that such claims have been resolved in accordance with Section 9.4, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Seller the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such claim.
