"Damages," as used herein, shall include any claim, action, demand, loss, cost, expense, liability (joint or several), penalty and other damage, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in investigation or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition thereof or in enforcing this indemnity, resulting to MonsterDaata from (i) any inaccurate representation made by or on behalf of NeighborhoodFind 30 or a Member in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in, this Agreement and delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the breach of any of the warranties or agreements made by or on behalf of NeighborhoodFind or a Member in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in this Agreement and delivered pursuant hereto, (iii) the breach or default in the performance by NeighborhoodFind or a Member of any of the obligations to be performed by any of them hereunder or under the Certificate of Merger, or (iv) the matter disclosed in Annex 2.21 hereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member's liability to MonsterDaata for Damages shall be limited to the Current Market Value, as of the Closing Date, of the MonsterDaata Securities which such Member has received or will have the right to receive under the terms of Sections 1.5(a)(ii) and 1.6 hereof.

MonsterDaata shall have the exclusive right to conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel is approved by the Member Representative (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld), the defense of any such claim or action, and may compromise or settle such claims or actions with the prior consent of the Member Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). 8.3 Escrow Fund. In order to provide a fund for the partial satisfaction of any claim or claims against the Members ("Claims") by MonsterDaata which may arise under Section 8.2 above, and for other legitimate business purposes, on the Closing Date MonsterDaata shall deliver to Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. (the "Escrow Agent") under the terms of an Escrow Agreement among MonsterDaata, the Escrow Agent, NeighborhoodFind and the Members (the "Escrow Agreement"), substantially in the form of Annex H hereto, certificates representing the MonsterDaata Securities required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i) hereof, registered in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee.

As more fully provided in the Escrow Agreement, all shares, money, property and assets remaining in the Escrow Fund on the Expiration Date shall be released to the Members on such date. 31 8.4 Satisfaction of Indemnity. (a) Subject to Sections 8.4(b) and (c) hereof, any Damages incurred, paid or borne by MonsterDaata for which it is entitled to indemnification from any Member (with respect to such Member, its "Indemnifiable Damages") under this Section 8 shall be initially satisfied by the delivery to MonsterDaata for cancellation of the MonsterDaata Securities held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Member. Any such Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the value of such MonsterDaata Securities held by the Escrow Agent, may, at the election of such Member, be satisfied, in whole or in part, by such Member either (i) making a cash payment to MonsterDaata by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) delivering to MonsterDaata for cancellation the number of MonsterDaata Securities issued to such Member pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii) or 1.6 which has a value equal to the Indemnified Damages as determined pursuant to Section 8.4(b) and (c) below; provided, however, that such Member shall also pay or reimburse MonsterDaata for the out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any fees payable to the transfer agent of the MonsterDaata Securities) of canceling such returned MonsterDaata Securities. (b) Any indemnification obligation of a Member to be satisfied by the delivery to MonsterDaata for cancellation of MonsterDaata Securities by the Escrow Agent or such Member, as applicable, shall be satisfied by the delivery of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock in proportion to the number of such shares received by the Members with the ratio of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock so delivered being proportional to the respective number of such shares received by the Members (e.g., one share of Common Stock for every 4.03 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis). (c) For purposes of this Section 8.4, all MonsterDaata Securities shall be valued at their Current Market Value as of the Closing Date (assuming, for purposes of determining the Current Market Value of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, that such shares are converted and the underlying shares of Common Stock are outstanding). 8.5 MonsterDaata Indemnification. MonsterDaata shall indemnify and hold the Members harmless against and in respect of all Member Damages; provided that no payment or reimbursement shall be made until the aggregate Member Damages exceed $30,000, after which MonsterDaata shall pay or reimburse the Members for all Member Damages. "Member Damages" shall mean any claim, action, demand, loss, cost, expense, liability (joint or several), penalty and other damage, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition thereof or in enforcing this indemnity, resulting to a Member from (A) any inaccurate representation made by MonsterDaata in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in this Agreement and delivered by it pursuant hereto, (B) breach of any of the warranties or agreements made by MonsterDaata in this Agreement or any certificate or other document referenced in this Agreement and delivered by it pursuant hereto, or (C) breach or default in the performance by MonsterDaata of any of the obligations to be performed by MonsterDaata hereunder and under the Certificate of Merger. Subject to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.5, MonsterDaata agrees to pay or reimburse the Members for any payment made or amount payable or loss suffered or incurred by the Members 32 at any time from and after the Effective Time in respect of any Member Damages to which the foregoing indemnity relates. 9.
