SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 5, 2011 (this “Agreement”), is by and among: (i) Demand Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”); (ii) RSS Graffiti, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”); (iii) the holders of the Units of the Company (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”); (iv) Folie Investment Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Seller Representative (the “Seller Representative”); and (v) for purposes of Section 6.1 only, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. Each of the Company and the Sellers may be referred to herein as a “Seller Party” and collectively, as the “Seller Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in ARTICLE X.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (including 100% of the capital and profits) of the Company (collectively, the “Units”); and

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to acquire from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, all of the Units, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1. Purchase and Sale of Units. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Sellers, all right, title and interest in and to the Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances. The consideration to be paid by Buyer to the Sellers with respect to such Units shall consist of the payment by Buyer of cash and the issuance by Buyer of shares of Buyer Common Stock, in each case, as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof. At the Closing, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Units from the Sellers to Buyer shall occur automatically without the need for further action by any party hereto, and each Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all Units held by such Seller (other than unvested Employee Units, which shall be cancelled as provided in Section 1.3), effective upon the Closing.

1.2. Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery from the Sellers to Buyer of the Units in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay the following Consideration to the Sellers:

(a) Equity Consideration: At the Closing, Buyer shall issue to the Accredited Members an aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to $4,824,258 divided by the Price Per Share (the “Equity Consideration”). The shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be allocated among and issued to the Accredited Members based on each Accredited Member’s relative Pro Rata Percentage as set forth on Schedule 1.2 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(b) Cash Consideration Paid to the Unaccredited Members: Buyer shall pay to the Unaccredited Members an aggregate amount of cash equal to $497,244, which shall be allocated among the Unaccredited Members based on each Unaccredited Member’s relative Pro Rata Percentage as set forth on Schedule 1.2 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Unaccredited Cash Consideration”).

(c) Cash Consideration Paid to all Sellers: Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an aggregate amount of cash (the “Cash Consideration”) equal to:

(i) $12,416,838;

(ii) minus, the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target;

(iii) plus, the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target;

(iv) minus, the Estimated Long Term Liabilities if the Estimated Long Term Liabilities exceed zero;

(v) minus, the Holdback Amount (which shall be held back by Buyer in accordance with Section 1.4 hereof); and

(vi) minus, the Seller Representative Reserve (which shall be funded to the Seller Representative in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof).

The Cash Consideration shall be allocated among the Sellers based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage as set forth on Schedule 1.2 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration to be received by such Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE I constitutes all of the consideration to be received by such Seller in exchange for the sale and transfer to Buyer of such Seller’s entire membership interest in the Company, irrespective of any provisions in the Company’s operating agreement or in any other agreement governing the equity interests of the Company.

1.3. Unvested Employee Units. Immediately prior to the Closing, each outstanding, unvested Employee Unit shall be canceled and forfeited, and the holders of such unvested Employee Units shall not be entitled to receive any payment in respect of such Employee Units or the cancellation thereof. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the cancellation and forfeiture of the unvested Employee Units contemplated by this Section 1.3, including without limitation, obtaining a waiver and release, substantially in the form previously provided to Buyer (each, a “Waiver and Release Agreement”), from each holder of any unvested Employee Units.

1.4. Holdback Amount. In order to at least partially satisfy and to establish a procedure for the satisfaction of the post-closing working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof and the satisfaction of Claims by the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE VIII hereof, Buyer shall (as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(v)) deduct from the cash consideration to be paid at the Closing an aggregate of $750,000 in cash (the “Holdback Amount”) to be used to provide for a post-closing working capital adjustment, if any, as set forth in Section 1.7 hereof and satisfy in part the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations, if any, as set forth in ARTICLE VIII hereof. The Holdback Amount shall be retained by Buyer and/or released to Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to the terms and subject to

the conditions of this Agreement. In the event of a distribution of the Holdback Amount to the Sellers, such amounts shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages.

1.5. Seller Representative Reserve.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE I, at the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause to be, deposited, in an account designated by the Seller Representative, $50,000 (the “Seller Representative Reserve”), which amount shall be deemed to reduce the Cash Consideration otherwise payable at Closing under this ARTICLE I and which shall be held by the Seller Representative for the benefit of the Sellers in accordance with this Section 1.5 and Section 8.2(h). The parties agree to treat the Seller Representative Reserve as owned by the Sellers and to file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such treatment.

(b) The Seller Representative Reserve (and interest and earnings thereon) may be applied as the Seller Representative, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to defray, offset, or pay any charges, fees, costs, liabilities or expenses of the Seller Representative incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(c) The balance of the Seller Representative Reserve held pursuant to this Section 1.5, if any, and interest and earnings earned thereon, shall be distributed to the Sellers by the Seller Representative. Each Seller shall be deemed to have contributed an amount to the Seller Representative Reserve equal to its respective Pro Rata Percentage of the Seller Representative Reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Representative Reserve shall only be so distributed when the Seller Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution is appropriate. None of Buyer or the Company or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility to the Sellers with respect to the Seller Representative Reserve or the actions and responsibilities of the Seller Representative contemplated by this Section 1.5, and the Sellers shall seek distribution of the Seller Representative Reserve solely from the Seller Representative.

1.6. Withholding Taxes. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Seller such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. With respect to tax withholding on the Equity Consideration payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.2 above, unless otherwise determined by Buyer, Buyer shall withhold shares of Buyer Common Stock otherwise issuable with respect to such payments having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld by federal, state and/or local tax law. The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock which shall be so withheld in order to satisfy such federal, state and/or local withholding tax liabilities shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state and/or local tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. For purposes of this Section 1.6, “fair market value” of a share of Equity Consideration shall be the Price Per Share.

1.7. Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Pre-Closing Statement. No later than five Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an unaudited statement of Estimated Working Capital and Long Term Liabilities dated the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Statement”), which shall be

prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP as applied in preparation of the Financial Statements and shall fairly present in all material respects the Estimated Working Capital and Long Term Liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date and shall include any Current Liabilities or Long Term Liabilities that are reasonably likely to arise as a result of the occurrence of the Closing. The Company shall consult with Buyer and its accountants with respect to the preparation of the Pre-Closing Statement, and the Pre-Closing Statement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed schedules indicating a calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and Estimated Long Term Liabilities as of the Closing Date and of the adjustment to the Cash Consideration (if any) as calculated in the manner set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.

(b) Pre-Closing Adjustment. Prior to Closing, the Cash Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If Estimated Working Capital set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement is less than $100,000 (the “Working Capital Target”), then the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Working Capital as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(iii).

(ii) If Estimated Working Capital set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement is greater than the Working Capital Target, then the Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(iv).

(iii) If Estimated Long Term Liabilities of the Company exceed zero, then the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of Estimated Long Term Liabilities as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(v).

(i) Closing Statement. No later than 90 calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a Statement of Working Capital and Long Term Liabilities dated the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”), which shall be prepared by Buyer’s personnel in accordance with GAAP as applied in preparation of the Financial Statements and shall fairly present in all material respects the Working Capital and Long Term Liabilities of the Company as of the Closing Date. The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed schedules indicating a calculation of the Working Capital, Long Term Liabilities, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Long Term Liabilities Adjustment Amount.

(ii) Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount. As used herein, the “Working Capital Adjustment Amount” shall equal the Working Capital minus the Estimated Working Capital.

(iii) Long Term Liabilities Adjustment Amount. As used herein, the “Long Term Liabilities Adjustment Amount” shall equal the Estimated Long Term Liabilities minus the Long Term Liabilities of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Long Term Liabilities and Long Term Liabilities shall each be reflected as a positive number for purposes of the above calculation or, if applicable, as zero).

(iv) Adjustment Amount. The “Adjustment Amount” shall equal the Working Capital Adjustment Amount plus the Long Term Liabilities Adjustment Amount.

(d) Distribution of the Adjustment Amount.

(i) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, within 10 Business Days of determination of the Adjustment Amount, Buyer shall promptly pay to each Seller its Pro Rata Percentage of the Adjustment Amount.

(ii) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Buyer shall have the right to retain from the Holdback Amount an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. In the event that such amount is greater than the Holdback Amount, the Sellers shall indemnify Buyer for such excess.

(e) Disputed Adjustment Amount. If the Seller Representative disagrees with the Adjustment Amount, the Seller Representative shall notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing specifying in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement.

(f) Resolution of Disputed Adjustment Amount. Buyer and the Seller Representative shall use their reasonable efforts for a period of 30 calendar days after the Seller Representative’s delivery of such notice (or such longer period as Buyer and the Seller Representative shall mutually agree upon) to resolve any disagreements raised by the Seller Representative with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount. If, at the end of such period, Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve such disagreements, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing to resolve any remaining disagreements, provided that Ernst & Young LLP will be the independent auditor if Buyer and the Seller Representative cannot agree on the selection of such independent auditor. The determination by such independent auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. Buyer and the Seller Representative shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the independent auditor to make its determination within 30 calendar days of accepting its selection. The fees and expenses of such independent auditor shall be borne by Buyer and the Seller Representative in proportion to the aggregate amount of all disputed items as to which such party’s claim was unsuccessful (i.e., if there are $1,000,000 of disputed items and the independent auditor determines that the Seller Representative’s claim prevails with respect to $250,000 of such disputed items and Buyer’s claim prevails with respect to $750,000 of such disputed items, then the Seller Representative would be obligated to pay 75% of the fees and expenses and Buyer would be obligated to pay 25% of the fees and expenses).

(g) Payment of Adjustment Amount. All payments made to the Sellers by Buyer as part of the Adjustment Amount shall be made at Buyer’s election, by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as the Seller Representative may designate.

ARTICLE II.

ARTICLE III.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Sellers and the Company hereby represent and warrant to Buyer as follows, except as otherwise set forth on the Disclosure Schedules, which representations and warranties are, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the Closing Date, true and correct:

3.1. Organization. The Company is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full limited liability company power and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted, to own and or use the properties and assets that it purports to own or use, and to perform all its obligations under its Contracts. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedules, being all the jurisdictions in which the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Copies of the Organizational Documents of the Company, and all amendments thereto, heretofore delivered to Buyer are true, accurate and complete as of the date hereof. Schedule 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a description of all of the issued and outstanding membership or other equity interests of the Company.

3.2. Subsidiaries. The Company does not have any direct or indirect Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company has no direct or indirect stock or other equity or ownership interest (whether controlling or not) in any corporation, association, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity.

3.3. Capitalization.

(a) (i) Schedule 3.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth the authorized and, as of the date of this Agreement, issued and outstanding Units, the name of each record holder of the Units, and the amount of such class of the Units held of record by each such holder, and with respect to each Employee Unit (A) the grant date of such Unit, and (B) the vesting schedule (including any vesting acceleration provisions) and vested status of the Unit; and (ii) the Units represent one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company. Upon transfer of the Units to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, Buyer will become the sole beneficial and record owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Company.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(a), there are no outstanding obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Company Securities.

No distributions (including distributions for taxes) are owed by the Company with respect to any Units or owed by the Company to any holders of Company Securities.

(c) The Company has not violated any Regulations, including applicable federal or state securities laws, in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of securities of the Company (including the Units), and such securities (including the Units) have been issued and granted in compliance with all requirements set forth in the Company’s Organizational Documents.

(d) Under the terms of each Employee Unit in effect on the applicable date of grant of such Employee Unit, had the Company’s assets been sold at fair market value on such date of grant and the proceeds of such sale then been distributed in a complete liquidation of the Company, the holder of such Employee Unit would have received no portion of the proceeds.

3.4. Authorization. The Company has all requisite power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be executed and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the Company is to be a party, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly approved by all necessary limited liability company action and no other proceedings or actions on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the Company is to be a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and is, and upon execution and delivery of the Ancillary Agreements to which the Company is to be a party, each of such Ancillary Agreements will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, in each case, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (b) the general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted in a proceeding in equity or at law.

No issues relating to Taxes of the Company were raised by the relevant Tax Authority in any completed audit or examination that would reasonably be expected to result in a material amount of Taxes in a later taxable period. The Company has delivered or made available to Buyer complete and accurate copies of federal, state and local income Tax Returns of the Company and its predecessors for all taxable years remaining open under the applicable statute of limitations, including, promptly upon their availability, for the most recent taxable year, and complete and accurate copies of all examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) since the last day of the last taxable year, if any, for which the applicable statute of limitations is closed, with respect to Taxes of any type. The Company (or any predecessor of the Company) has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency, nor has any request been made in writing for any such extension or waiver. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.22(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, no power of attorney (other than powers of attorney authorizing employees of the Company to act on behalf of the Company) with respect to any Taxes is currently in force or has been executed or filed with any Tax Authority.

(c) The unpaid Taxes of the Company do not, as of the Closing Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Interim Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto), and since the Interim Balance Sheet Date, the Company has not incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise inconsistent with past custom and practice.

(d) There are no Encumbrances for Taxes upon any property or asset of the Company (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable).

(e) All Taxes required to have been withheld, collected, deposited or paid, as the case may be, in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party, by the Company have been timely withheld, collected, deposited or paid. No transaction contemplated herein is subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 3406 of the Code, or of Subchapter A of Chapter 3 of the Code or of any other provision of law.

(f) The Company will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any period (or any portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any installment sale or other transaction on or prior to the Closing Date, any accounting method change or agreement with any Tax Authority filed or made on or prior to the Closing Date, or any prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing.

(l) The Company has not been a party to a transaction that is or is substantially similar to a “reportable transaction,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1), or any other transaction requiring disclosure under analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law. If the Company has entered into any transaction such that, if the treatment claimed by it were to be disallowed, the transaction would constitute a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code, then the Company believes that it has either (x) substantial authority for the tax treatment of such transaction or (y) disclosed on its Tax Return the relevant facts affecting the tax treatment of such transaction. The Company has not participated, and does not plan to participate, in any Tax amnesty program.

(m) Each Company Plan and each other contract, agreement, plan, program or arrangement maintained, established or entered into by the Company that constitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) has been (i) operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code or an available exemption therefrom from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008 (to the extent in existence during such period), and (ii) maintained and operated, since January 1, 2010 (to the extent in existence since such date), in documentary and operational compliance with Section 409A or the Code or an available exemption therefrom. No compensation has been or would reasonably be expected to be includable in the gross income of any “service provider” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) of the Company as a result of the operation of Section 409A of the Code. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with Section 457A of the Code and no amounts paid or payable by the Company are subject to any Tax or penalty imposed under Section 457A of the Code.

(n) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, either alone or in combination with another event (whether contingent or otherwise) will result in any “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law).

(o) There is no Contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which the Company is a party which requires the Company to pay a Tax gross-up or reimbursement payment to any Person,

including without limitation, with respect to any Tax-related payments under Section 409A of the Code or Section 280G of the Code.

Schedule 3.23 of the Disclosure Schedules contains a complete and accurate list of all policies or binders of fire, liability, title, worker’s compensation, product liability (which list shall be for three years) and other forms of insurance (showing as to each policy or binder the carrier, policy number, coverage limits, expiration dates, annual premiums, a general description of the type of coverage provided, loss experience history by line of coverage) maintained by the Company with respect to or that covers the Business.

(b) There are no outstanding or unsatisfied obligations of any kind (including inter-company accounts, notes, guarantees, loans, or advances) owed to the Company by such Seller or any Affiliate of such Seller.

4.7. Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to such Seller’s knowledge, currently threatened against such Seller or its Affiliates, which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of such Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to which such Seller is to be a party.

4.8. No Brokers. Neither such Seller nor any of such Seller’s respective Representatives or Affiliates has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of the Seller Parties, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commission or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.9. Accredited Status.

(a) Each Accredited Member acknowledges that he, she or it can bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in the Buyer Common Stock. Such Accredited Member has the capacity to protect his, her or its own interests in connection with the Buyer Common Stock and bear the risk of his, her or its investment in the Buyer Common Stock. Such Accredited Member is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect, under the Securities Act.

(b) The Buyer Common Stock to be acquired by such Accredited Member will be acquired for investment for such Accredited Member’s own account (or a trust account if such Accredited Member is a nominee), not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and such Accredited Member has no present intention of selling, granting any participation

in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Accredited Member does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Buyer Common Stock.

(c) Such Accredited Member has received and reviewed information about Buyer and has had an opportunity to discuss Buyer’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and to review Buyer’s facilities. Such Accredited Member understands and acknowledges that such discussions, as well as any written information issued by Buyer (i) were intended to describe the aspects of Buyer’s business and prospects which Buyer believes to be material, but were not necessarily an exhaustive description, and (ii) may have contained forward-looking statements involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Buyer’s actual results in future periods or plans for future periods to differ materially from what was anticipated and that no representations or warranties were or are being made with respect to any such forward-looking statements or the probability of achieving any of the results projected in any of such forward-looking statements.

(d) Such Accredited Member understands that the Buyer Common Stock has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Accredited Member’s representations as expressed in this Section 4.9. Such Accredited Member understands that the Buyer Common Stock is a “restricted security” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Accredited Member must hold the Buyer Common Stock indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Accredited Member acknowledges that Buyer has no obligation to register or qualify the Buyer Common Stock for resale. Such Accredited Member further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Buyer Common Stock, and on requirements relating to Buyer which are outside of such Accredited Member’s control, and which Buyer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

ARTICLE VI.
COVENANTS

The Company, each Seller (severally, and not jointly with any other Seller) and Buyer each covenant and agree with the other as follows:

6.1. Confidentiality and Non-Competition.

(a) Each Seller acknowledges that such Seller has knowledge of certain Confidential Information and that such Confidential Information is confidential and proprietary to the Business and constitutes valuable trade secrets of the Business, which affect, among other things, the successful conduct, furtherance and protection of the Business and related goodwill. Each Seller acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information is likely to be highly prejudicial to the interests of Buyer and its Affiliates or their respective customers, advertisers, clients and patrons, an invasion of privacy, or an improper disclosure of trade secrets. Each Seller agrees that a substantial portion of the Consideration is being paid for such Confidential Information and that it represents a substantial investment having great economic and commercial value to Buyer and its Affiliates, and constitutes a substantial part of the value to Buyer and its Affiliates of the Business and the assets of the Company. Each Seller further acknowledges that Buyer and its Affiliates would be irreparably damaged if any of the Confidential Information was disclosed to, or used or exploited on behalf of, any Person other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Accordingly, each Seller covenants and agrees that he or it shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall use his, her or its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agents, Representatives, Affiliates and any other persons acting on such Seller’s behalf (each Seller and such agents, Representatives, Affiliates and other persons with respect to each Seller being collectively referred to as “Restricted Persons”) do not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose, use, exploit, furnish or make accessible to anyone or any other entity, any such Confidential Information, for the benefit of any such Restricted Person or of any third party, at any time for so long as such information shall remain secret or confidential or otherwise remain wholly or partially protectable except that Sellers may use or exploit a particular item of Confidential Information if and to the extent (but only if and to the extent) that such item is:

(i) or becomes generally known on a non-confidential basis to persons in the industry, through no wrongful act of any Restricted Person, in which Buyer or the Company is engaged;

(ii) or becomes available to a Restricted Person on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Buyer, any Seller Party or any of their respective Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to Buyer, any Seller Party or any other Person with respect to such information.

(b) Each Principal Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer and its Affiliates will invest substantial time, money and resources in acquiring the Business, as well as in the development and retention of the Company’s inventions, Confidential Information, customers, accounts and business partners. Therefore, each Principal Seller hereby agrees that, if allowed to participate in Competitive Activities in violation of this Section 6.1(b), such Principal Seller would substantially impair the value of the assets being acquired by Buyer. Each Principal Seller agrees that for a two year period following the Closing Date, subject to the proviso set forth at the end of this Section 6.1(b), each Principal Seller shall not in any capacity, or in association with others, directly or indirectly, as advisor, agent, owner, partner, stockholder, beneficial owner or in any other capacity, and shall use such Principal Seller’s best efforts to ensure that all other Restricted Persons do not, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in the development, promotion, enhancement or operation of (a) a data analytics or warehousing platform with the primary purpose of optimizing the delivery of media content, including advertising, over the Internet; or (b) an application with the primary purpose of optimizing the delivery of media content, including advertising, through Facebook or other Internet-based social media platforms (the “Competitive Activities”);

(ii) own any interest in, manage, operate, join or control any business or organization that engages in a Competitive Activity;

(iii) solicit for employment, employ or engage any person or entity who is or becomes employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or

(iv) solicit or entice customers or distribution partners of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to cease doing business with or reduce its relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates;

provided, that the ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding equity interests in a publicly traded entity shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.1(b) so long as no Principal Seller or other Restricted Persons has any active participation in the business of such entity; provided further that, in the case of Folie Investment Group LLC or Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding equity interests in an entity shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.1(b) so long as no such Person (or such Person’s Restricted Persons) has any active participation in the business of such entity.

(c) Each Seller hereby expressly acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 6.1 are integral to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that without the protection of such covenants, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement. Each Seller hereby further acknowledges that money damages will be impossible to calculate and may not adequately compensate Buyer and/or its Affiliates in connection with an actual or threatened breach by a Restricted Person of the provisions of this Section 6.1. Accordingly, on his, her or its own behalf and on behalf of each of his, her or its Restricted Persons, each Seller hereby expressly waives all rights to raise the adequacy of Buyer’s remedies at law as a defense if Buyer seeks to enforce by injunction or other equitable relief the due and proper performance and observance of the provisions of this Section 6.1. In addition, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue any other available remedies at law or equity, including the recovery of money damages, in respect of the actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.1. Each Seller hereby expressly waives any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of the confidentiality covenants in this Section 6.1 should such enforcement ever become necessary.

6.2. Further Assurances. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the parties agree, both before and after the Closing, (a) to use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (b) to execute any documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, and (c) to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (i) to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements from other parties to the Contracts and Leases, provided that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to make any payments, commence litigation or agree to modifications of the terms thereof in order to obtain any such waivers, consents or approvals; provided, further, that the Company or any of its respective Affiliates shall not be required to make any extraordinary payments or commence litigation to obtain any such waivers, consents or approvals; (ii) to obtain all necessary Permits as are required to be obtained under any Regulations; (iii) to defend all Actions challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iv) to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other Court Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (v) to give all notices to, and make all registrations and filings with third parties, including, without limitation, submissions of information requested by governmental authorities; and (vi) to fulfill all conditions to this Agreement. The Company shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and approve any waivers, consents, approvals, notices, orders, registrations and filings to be made, given or used by the Company and shall promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of each

such registration or filing made, each such notice given and each such waiver, consent, approval or order obtained by the Company prior to the Closing Date. In addition, the Company will commence all action required under this Section 6.2 by a date which is early enough to allow the transactions contemplated hereunder to be consummated by the Closing Date.

6.3. No Solicitation. From the date hereof through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, no Seller shall, and each of them shall cause each of their respective Representatives (including, without limitation, investment bankers, attorneys and accountants), not to, and the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into, solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any other way with, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group, other than Buyer and its Representatives, concerning any sale of all or a portion of the Company’s assets, or of any membership interests of the Company, or any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company (each such transaction being referred to herein as a “Proposed Acquisition Transaction”). From the date hereof through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, through any member, officer, employee, Representative, agent or otherwise, and the Company shall not, solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to the Company for the purposes of, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to seek or effect a Proposed Acquisition Transaction. The Company shall promptly advise such prospective purchaser or soliciting party, by written notice (with a copy to Buyer) of the terms of this Section 6.3 and will promptly notify Buyer (orally and in writing) if any such offer, or any inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made and shall provide Buyer with a copy of such offer, the terms of any proposal, including, without limitation, the identity of the prospective purchaser or soliciting party, and shall keep Buyer informed on the status of any negotiations regarding such offer. Each Seller Party agrees not to release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party.

6.4. Notification of Certain Matters. From the date hereof through the Closing, the Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any exhibit or schedule hereto to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect and (b) any failure of any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party, or of any of their respective Representatives, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Person under this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto; provided, however, that such disclosure shall not be deemed to cure any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or to satisfy any condition. The Company shall promptly notify Buyer of any Default, the threat or commencement of any Action, or any development that occurs before the Closing that could in any way materially affect the Company or the Business.

6.5. Investigation by Buyer. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its respective members, officers, employees and agents to, afford the Representatives of Buyer and its Affiliates complete access at all reasonable times to the Company and the Business for the purpose of inspecting the same, and to the members, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, properties, Company Plans, Books and Records and Contracts of the Company, and shall furnish Buyer and its Representatives all financial, operating and other data and information as Buyer or its Affiliates, through their respective Representatives, may reasonably request, including an unaudited combined balance sheet and the related statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Business for each month from the date hereof through the Closing Date within ten calendar days

Each Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by such Seller.

(b) Buyer in cooperation with the Seller Representative shall prepare an allocation of Consideration among the assets being acquired by Buyer in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). Buyer shall deliver such Allocation to the Seller Representative as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Seller Representative shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Allocation notify Buyer in writing that it is in agreement with the Allocation or of any objections the Seller Representative has to the Allocation. Buyer and the Seller Representative shall act in good faith to resolve any disagreement over the Allocation. In the event that the parties cannot agree on a mutually satisfactory Allocation within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Value Prism Consulting shall, at the joint expense of Buyer (on the one hand) and Sellers (on the other hand), determine the appropriate Allocation, which determination shall be binding on the parties.

Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, as applicable, with respect to such items, except as required by applicable law. At least ten (10) days prior to filing any such Tax Return, the Seller Representative shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company that relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date but that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, and Sellers shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns, except to the extent that such Taxes are both (A) included in the calculation of Working Capital that is reflected on the Closing Statement and (B) taken into account in determining the Working Capital Adjustment Amount. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, as applicable, with respect to such items, except as required by applicable law. Buyer shall deliver at least ten (10) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extension) for the filing of such Tax Returns to Seller Representative for Seller Representative’s review a draft of such Tax Returns. Buyer shall consider in good faith any comment that Seller Representative submits to Buyer no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due

Buyer shall deliver at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Straddle Period Tax Return to Seller Representative for Seller Representative’s review a draft of such Tax Return, and Sellers shall pay all Taxes due with respect to the Pre-Closing Portion of such Straddle Period Tax Returns (as determined pursuant to Section 6.7(f)), except to the extent that such Taxes are both (A) included in the calculation of Working Capital that is reflected on the Closing Statement and (B) taken into account in determining the Working Capital Adjustment Amount. Buyer shall consider in good faith any comment that Seller Representative submits to Buyer no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns that relates to the Pre-Closing Portion of such Straddle Period. Sellers shall make the payment due to Buyer under this Section 6.7(e) at least two (2) Business Days before payment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) is due to the Tax Authority.

(f) With respect to Taxes of the Company relating to a Straddle Period, the portion of any Tax that is allocable to the taxable period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Portion”) will be: (i) in the case of Property Taxes, the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and (2) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year of the Company terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.

(g) Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including, without limitation, access to Books and Records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Sellers, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall retain all Books and Records with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(h) Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”). Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Contest shall not relieve such other party of any liability with respect to such Tax Contests except to the extent such party was actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Buyer shall have sole control of the conduct of all Tax Contests, including any settlement or compromise thereof, provided, however, that Buyer shall keep Sellers reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Contest and shall not effect any such settlement or compromise with respect to which Sellers are liable without obtaining Sellers’ prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.7(h) and Section 8.2, the provisions of this Section 6.7(h) shall control.

6.8. Audits. Seller Parties shall cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s independent public accountants (“Buyer’s Accountants”) in connection with the completion of any audit subsequent to the Closing of the historical financial statements of the Company and/or the Business for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the preparation of any disclosure document of Buyer or its Affiliates to be used by Buyer or its Affiliates to obtain financing and/or to register securities of the Company (in each case, a “Disclosure Document”) including, without limitation, any registration

Such cooperation shall include, without limitation (a) assisting Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants in the preparation, audit and review of financial statements for the Company and/or the Business for any fiscal years or portions thereof reasonably determined by Buyer that may be necessary for inclusion in any Disclosure Document or in any filing that Buyer may desire to make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other regulatory authority, (b) executing and providing any certifications, representation letters or similar documents and providing such other information as Buyer or Buyer’s Accountants may request in conjunction with an audit of such financial statements and/or in conjunction with Buyer’s Accountants’ preparation of any comfort letters with respect to any Disclosure Document (and responding to any inquiries from Buyer or Buyer’s Accountants in connection with any such certifications, representation letters or other information), (c) providing Buyer with access to the Company’s prior accountants’ work papers relating to any such financial statements and information (if any), (d) assisting in the preparation of responses to comments received from the Staff of the SEC with respect to any such financial statements included in any SEC filings, (e) assisting in the preparation of any statutory or regulatory audits required to be filed with respect to the Company and/or the Business in any jurisdiction and (f) executing and providing appropriate managers’ certifications of any such financial statements pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and responding to inquiries from Buyer’s management in connection with any such managers’ certification. Buyer agrees that Seller Parties shall not be responsible for payments of any third-party costs and expenses relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.8 (other than preparation and completion of the Company Audit, which shall be at the expense of the Company).

6.9. Collection of Accounts Receivable. In the event that, following the Closing Date, any Seller receives any payments from a third party that relate to any accounts receivable of the Company or that otherwise are for the account of the Business, such Seller shall, promptly following receipt of any such payment, transfer such payments to Buyer or a bank account designated by Buyer.

6.10. Employee Matters. Nothing in this Agreement shall, or shall be construed so as to: (i) prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any employee, independent contractor, manager or other service provider of the Company (or to cause any of the foregoing actions) at any time, or to change (or cause the change of) the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment or service of any such service providers; (ii) create any third-party rights in any such current or former service provider of the Company (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof); (iii) constitute an amendment or modification of any Plan, or (iv) obligate Buyer to adopt or maintain any Plan or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time or prevent Buyer from modifying or terminating any Plan or any other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time.

Such grants shall be subject to such individuals signing the relevant award agreement in the form prescribed by the Company.

In consideration of Buyer’s covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, each Seller (on its own behalf and on behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, agents, successors, permitted assigns and Subsidiaries) hereby releases, waives and discharges Buyer and the Company and their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Released Persons”) from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, losses, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever (including those sounding in contract or tort, loss of profits, interference with business contracts, interference with contractual relations, damage to business reputation, increased cost of doing business, interference with economic or business relationship or any prospect thereof, interference with expectancy of business advantage, in each case whether current or prospective), obligations, Contracts (including those Contracts set forth in Section 3.9), covenants, fees, costs and Damages of any kind whatsoever (whether direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or otherwise, including legal fees incurred in connection herewith or in connection with any costs associated with appearing as a third party witness, with the enforcement of this Agreement and with the posting of any bond in connection with any appeal process), known or unknown, in its own right or derivatively, in law or equity (collectively, the “Claims”), that in any way arise from or out of, are based upon, or relate to any omissions, acts, events or facts that have occurred or occur at any time prior to or as of the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing release shall not extend to (i) any Claims resulting from or arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated by or entered into in connection with this Agreement to which such Seller is a party, except to the extent such Claims seek consideration for the Units in excess of that contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Claims for reimbursement of expenses, any Claims for compensation payable or due to a Seller or Claims of a Seller under a Company Plan, in each case in connection with Seller’s status as a current or former employee or consultant of the Company, (iii) Claims for reimbursement for losses incurred by a Seller that arise from third party claims (other than claims of any Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements) to the extent (a) such losses are covered by insurance maintained by the Company and (b) the Company’s insurance carrier actually reimburses the Company for such losses, or (iv) any Claims of a Person that was an officer or employee of Buyer prior to the date hereof that are against Buyer and that arise in such Person’s capacity as a current or former officer or employee of Buyer.

With respect to such Claims, each Seller hereby expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon him, her or it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including, without limitation, the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” For the avoidance of doubt, the released Claims shall include any right to receive Premium Consideration.

8.2. Indemnification.

(a) By Seller Parties. Each Seller, severally, shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives and each of Buyer’s direct and indirect stockholders, Affiliates and Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company), and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all costs, losses, Taxes, Liabilities, obligations, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, demands, expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), consequential damages and other losses resulting from any shutdown or curtailment of operations, attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (herein, “Damages”), incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by any Seller Party in or pursuant to ARTICLE III of this Agreement (in each case, without giving effect

to materiality qualifications or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in determining the amount of Damages); (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Seller in or pursuant to ARTICLE IV of this Agreement (in each case, without giving effect to materiality qualifications or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in determining the amount of Damages); (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement; (iv) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by such Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement; (v) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with any Seller Party (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (vi) any Transaction Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing and not reflected in the final calculation of Working Capital; (vii) any Claim or allegation that any Seller or other Person is entitled to any amount in connection with Buyer’s acquisition of 100% of the Units other than Cash Consideration or Equity Consideration allocable to Sellers in accordance with Section 1.2; (viii) any Taxes of the Company attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent that such Taxes are both (A) included in the calculation of Working Capital that is reflected on the Closing Statement and (B) taken into account in determining the Working Capital Adjustment Amount; or (ix) the Buyer’s failure to withhold a portion of the Consideration payable to such Seller.

For purposes of clarifying the meaning of “several” indemnification by each Seller under this Section 8.2(a), (x) any portion of the Holdback Amount that is retained by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (other than for Claims for indemnification based solely on clause (ii) and/or (iv) of this Section 8.2(a), which are covered solely by clause (z) below) shall be deemed to have been “severally” recovered from all of the Sellers, (y) with respect to Claims for indemnification under this Section 8.2(a) (other than for Claims for indemnification based solely on clauses (ii), (iv) and/or (ix), which are covered solely by clause (z) below) that are not recovered from the Holdback Amount, (i) if any indemnification payment is owed, each Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Damages with respect to which the indemnification payment is made and (ii) such Claim shall be subject to Section 8.2(h), and (z) in the case of a Claim for indemnification against one or more Sellers based solely on clauses (ii), (iv) and/or (ix) of this Section 8.2(a), the Buyer Indemnitee shall have the right to (A) offset the applicable Damages from the portion of the Holdback Amount that would otherwise be allocable to the Seller(s) responsible for the breach (or, in the case of clause (ix), failure to withhold) that gave rise to such Claim (each, a “Responsible Seller”), in which case each Responsible Seller shall be obligated to promptly pay to the Buyer the amount of Damages arising from the breach (or, in the case of clause (ix), failure to withhold) that are allocable to such Responsible Seller to replenish such portion of the Holdback Amount; and (B) pursue the indemnification claim directly against each Responsible Seller responsible for such breach (or, in the case of clause (ix), from which a portion of the Consideration should have been withheld) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and each such Responsible Seller shall be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for all Damages arising from such Claim).

(b) By Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and save and hold harmless Seller Parties, their Affiliates and their Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Party Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Cooperation. The indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with each other and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of lawsuit or action arising from third party claims and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the party not controlling the

defense of such lawsuit or action may, at its own cost, participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) Indemnifying Parties. References in this ARTICLE VIII to “indemnifying party” when a Buyer Indemnitee is an indemnified party shall be deemed to be references to the Sellers collectively and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Representative shall represent the Sellers with respect to all such matters as provided in Section 8.2(e).

(e) Defense of Third-Party Claims Involving Buyer Indemnitees.

(i) If a Claim for Damages is to be made by a Buyer Indemnitee hereunder as a result of a third-party claim, Buyer shall, subject to this ARTICLE VIII, give a Claim Notice to the Seller Representative with respect to such Claim as soon as practicable after Buyer becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE VIII, provided, that the failure of Buyer to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Seller Representative demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed by a third party against a Buyer Indemnitee hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the Seller Representative as promptly as practicable, provided that the failure of Buyer to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Seller Representative demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, if the Seller Representative shall acknowledge in writing to the Buyer Indemnitee that the Seller Representative shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Claim, then the Seller Representative shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, to participate in the defense of such claim and consult with Buyer in any defense of such claim, it being understood that Buyer shall have the sole right to control such defense (including the right to settle any such claim); provided, however, that the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement reasonable arrangements designed to preserve any existing attorney-client privilege; provided, further, that the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to withhold information from the Seller Representative if its provision to the Seller Representative would cause the attorney-client privilege thereof to be waived and there is no method of providing such information to the Seller Representative in a manner which would not result in such a waiver.

(ii) Except for third-party claims involving or seeking any (i) non-monetary remedy or monetary Damages in excess of the Holdback Amount, (ii) claims for equitable relief, (iii) potential criminal liability or (iv) alleged breaches of the Fundamental Representations, if the Seller Representative provides written notice to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a third-party claim, which notice by the Seller Representative irrevocably acknowledges the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify such claim fully, a Buyer Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement of such third-party claim without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If a Buyer Indemnitee enters into a settlement of a third-party claim without the consent of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative shall not be precluded from contesting the amounts owed by the Sellers in respect of such third-party claim on the basis that the settlement by the Buyer Indemnitee was not reasonable in light of the circumstances of such third-party claim or did not constitute, in whole or in part, an indemnifiable loss for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII.

(f) Defense of Third-Party Claims Involving Seller Party Indemnitees.

(i) If a Claim for Damages is to be made by a Seller Party Indemnitee hereunder as a result of a third-party claim, the Seller Representative shall, subject to this ARTICLE VIII,

give a Claim Notice to the Buyer with respect to such Claim as soon as practicable after the Seller Representative (or applicable Seller Party Indemnitee) becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE VIII, provided, that the failure of the Seller Representative to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Buyer demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed by a third party against a Seller Party Indemnitee hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the Buyer as promptly as practicable, provided that the failure of the Seller Representative to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that Buyer demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, if Buyer shall acknowledge in writing to the Seller Party Indemnitee that Buyer shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Claim, then Buyer shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, to defend such claim, it being understood that Buyer shall have the sole right to control such defense (including the right to settle any such claim); provided, however, that Buyer shall not enter into a settlement of such Claim if such settlement would impose any material obligation on a Seller Party Indemnitee other than payment of monetary damages without the prior written consent of Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) In the event Buyer elects not to assume the defense of such Claim, then the applicable Seller Party Indemnitee(s) or Seller Representative may assume the defense of such claim; provided that neither Seller Representative or any Seller Party Indemnitee shall enter into a settlement of such third party claim without the written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If a Seller Party Indemnitee enters into a settlement of a third-party claim without the consent of Buyer, Buyer shall not be precluded from contesting the amounts owed by Buyer in respect of such third-party claim on the basis that the settlement by the Seller Party Indemnitee was not reasonable in light of the circumstances of such third-party claim or did not constitute, in whole or in part, an indemnifiable loss for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII.

(g) Provisions Relating to Damages.

(i) The term “Damages” as used in this ARTICLE VIII is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against any Seller Party or Buyer, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by any Seller Party or Buyer in the absence of third-party claims. No Seller shall have any right to reimbursement or contribution from, subrogation to or indemnification from the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to any indemnification claim of a Buyer Indemnitee against any Seller hereunder or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. Payments by a party of amounts for which such party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery. Seller Parties’ obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees, and Buyer’s obligation to indemnify the Seller Party Indemnitees, shall not limit any other rights, including, without limitation, rights of contribution, which either party may have under statute or common law.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Damages” as used in this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated and determined subject to the following conditions: (a) Damages shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the indemnified party with respect to the applicable Claim (but Damages shall include a reasonable estimate of Damages resulting from increased future premiums (if any) resulting from such Claim) and (b) the fees and expenses of only one firm of attorneys (and, where applicable, separate local counsel in the relevant jurisdictions) representing the Buyer Indemnitees shall be included in Damages unless said firm of attorneys determines that a conflict of interest would make joint representation of all Buyer Indemnitees inadvisable.

(iii) The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable or being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedies based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

(iv) All amounts payable by any Seller Party in respect of indemnification claims under this ARTICLE VIII shall be considered an adjustment to the Consideration for Tax purposes unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise by applicable Tax laws.

(h) Appointment of the Seller Representative.

(i) By executing this Agreement, the Sellers shall be deemed to have constituted and appointed, effective from and after the date of this Agreement, Folie Investment Group LLC as the agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Seller to act as the Seller Representative under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2(h). In the event of the resignation, removal, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of the Seller Representative, the Sellers shall promptly appoint a successor Seller Representative (and in any event within ten Business Days of such vacancy), and such appointment shall become effective as to any such successor when a copy of such instrument shall have been delivered to Buyer. Sellers holding a majority of the Pro Rata Percentages of all Sellers shall have the right to remove a Seller Representative and to appoint a successor Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall have full power and authority to represent all of the Sellers and their successors with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement, and all actions taken by the Seller Representative hereunder shall be binding upon all such Sellers as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them, and no Sellers shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Seller Representative shall take any and all actions that it believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Sellers as if the Sellers were acting on their own behalf, including giving and receiving any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement by the Seller Representative or any Sellers, interpreting all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, authorizing payments to be made with respect hereto, defending all Claims against the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement, consenting to, compromising or settling all indemnification claims, conducting negotiations with Buyer and its agents regarding such claims, dealing with Buyer under this Agreement with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement, taking any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement and engaging counsel, accountants or other agents in connection with the foregoing matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all of the Sellers.

(ii) The Seller Representative has been duly authorized by the Sellers, in each case, for or on behalf of the Sellers, to:

(A) take all actions required by, and exercise all rights granted to, the Seller Representative in this Agreement;

(B) receive all notices or other documents given or to be given to Sellers by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(C) receive and accept service of legal process in connection with any claim or other proceeding against Sellers arising under this Agreement;

(D) undertake, compromise, defend and settle any such suit or proceeding on behalf of Sellers arising under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under ARTICLE VIII hereof);

(E) execute and deliver all agreements, certificates and documents required or deemed appropriate by the Seller Representative in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(F) engage special counsel, accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(G) work with Buyer to resolve any issues relating to the determination and final accounting of Working Capital and the Holdback Amount;

(H) distribute the Seller Representative Reserve; and

(I) take such other action as the Seller Representative may deem appropriate, including, without limitation:

(I) agreeing to any modification or amendment of or waiver with respect to this Agreement and executing and delivering an agreement of such modification or amendment or waiver;

(II) all such other matters as the Seller Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) The Seller Representative shall receive no compensation for services as the Seller Representative, but shall receive reimbursement from, and be indemnified by, Sellers, pro rata, for (including out of the Seller Representative Reserve) any and all expenses, charges and liabilities, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Seller Representative in the performance or discharge of his duties pursuant to this Section 8.2(h). Unless Sellers pay all such expenses, charges and liabilities upon demand by the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative shall have no obligation to incur such expenses, charges or liabilities, or to continue to perform any duties hereunder, but may nevertheless do so and thereafter claim reimbursement. Buyer shall have no obligation to reimburse the Seller Representative for any such expenses.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of this Section 8.2(h), Sellers agree that the Seller Representative shall act as representative of the Sellers for all purposes under this ARTICLE VIII. Buyer agrees that any claim for indemnification made by any of the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement shall be made exclusively through the Seller Representative acting on behalf of the Sellers (and the Sellers agree that any such claim against any Seller by a Buyer Indemnitee may be made by providing notice of such claim to the Seller Representative), and the Sellers agree that any claim for indemnification made by any of the Seller Parties Indemnitees will be made exclusively through the Seller Representative; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to pursue claims for indemnification under clauses (ii) and/or (iv) of Section 8.2(a) directly against the applicable Responsible Seller(s).

(v) The Seller Representative is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Seller, with full power in his, her or its name and on his, her or its behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement in the absolute discretion of the Seller Representative and in general to do all things and to perform all acts. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is granted and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Seller, by operation of law (whether by such Seller’s death, disability protective supervision) or any other event. Without limitation to the foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special obligation, and, accordingly, each Seller hereby renounces its, his or her right to renounce this power of attorney unilaterally before the complete distribution of the Holdback Amount. Each Seller hereby waives any and all defenses that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Seller Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted in this Section 8.2(h), no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document shall be ineffective by reason only of the Sellers having signed or given such directly instead of the Seller Representative.

(vi) Any action taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 8.2(h) shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Seller notwithstanding any contrary action of, or direction from, any Seller.

(i) Limitations on Indemnity. Neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor any Seller Party, on the other hand, shall be liable under this ARTICLE VIII for any Damages until the aggregate amount otherwise due the party being indemnified exceeds an accumulated total of $150,000; provided, however, that this limitation shall apply only to the extent a party is entitled to indemnification exclusively under Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) hereof and shall not apply to breaches of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of fraud. Once the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds such threshold amount, then the indemnified party shall have the right to recover all Damages without regard to such threshold, provided that the maximum amount of Damages which Buyer shall be liable to Seller Parties under Section 8.2(b)(i) hereof shall be $2,500,000 and the maximum amount of Damages which Seller Parties shall be liable to Buyer under Section 8.2(a)(i) hereof shall be $2,500,000, provided that such limitations shall not apply (i) in the case of fraud, or (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Subsidiaries), 3.3 (Capitalization), 3.4 (Authorization), 3.11 (No Conflict or Violation), 3.16(a) (Labor Matters), 3.22 (Tax Matters), 3.27 (No Brokers), 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.3 (No Conflict or Violation), 4.5 (Title to Units), 4.8 (No Brokers), 4.9 (Accredited Status), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization), and 5.3 (No Conflict or Violation) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”).

8.3. Holdback Amount.

(a) In accordance with Section 1.4 hereof, Buyer shall deduct and hold back from the Cash Consideration at the Closing the Holdback Amount, which shall be used to partially satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties under ARTICLE VIII and any obligations of the Seller Parties to pay any post-closing working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof. The parties agree to treat the Holdback Amount as owned by Buyer and not received by the Sellers to the extent not paid to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, and to file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such treatment.

(b) On the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to (i) $750,000, less (ii) the sum of (A) any Claims that have been satisfied from the Holdback Amount prior to such date, (B) the amount that would be necessary in Buyer’s reasonable good faith judgment to satisfy any then pending and unsatisfied or unresolved Claims specified in any Claim Notice delivered to Buyer prior to such date if such Claims were resolved in full in favor of the Buyer

Indemnitees, (C) any portion of the Holdback Amount used to cover any working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7 and (D) any applicable withholding Tax. Such payment shall be allocated among the Sellers based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage and such payment shall be made by check or wire transfer in accordance with payment instructions provided by the Seller Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Buyer Indemnitee offsets Damages from a Responsible Seller’s allocable portion of the Holdback Amount pursuant to clause (z) of Section 8.2(a) and the applicable Responsible Seller fails to pay to Buyer the amount of such Damages to replenish the Holdback Amount in accordance with clause (z) of Section 8.2(a), then the amount of any payment that would otherwise be made to such Responsible Seller pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) shall be reduced dollar for dollar based on the amount of Damages that were offset by Buyer against such Responsible Seller’s allocable portion of the Holdback Amount.

ARTICLE IX.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

10.10. Burden and Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and all of its conditions and provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided, however, that any Person that is not a party to this Agreement but, by the terms of ARTICLE VIII, is entitled to indemnification, shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement as though such Person was a signatory to this Agreement.

10.11. Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by the law of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.

10.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 10.16 hereof, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any California State court, or Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in California, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such California State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such California State or Federal court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such California State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.13. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO

REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.13.

10.14. Legal Fees. If any party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

10.15. Limitations on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any party be liable for punitive damages to the other party (except for punitive damages that are the subject of third party Claims).

10.16. Arbitration. It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, from and after the Closing Date, any and all claims, grievances, demands, controversies, causes of action or disputes of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, tort and contract claims, and claims upon any law, statute, order, or regulation) (hereinafter “Disputes”), arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to (a) this Agreement, or (b) questions of arbitrability under this Agreement, shall be resolved by final, binding, nonjudicial arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. pursuant to the following procedures:

(i) Any party may send another party or parties written notice identifying the matter in dispute and invoking the procedures of this Section (the “Dispute Notice”). Within 14 days from delivery of the Dispute Notice, each party involved in the dispute shall meet at a mutually agreed location in Los Angeles, California, for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by written agreement, and, if not, whether they can agree upon an impartial third-party arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to whom to submit the matter in dispute for final and binding arbitration.

(ii) If such parties fail to resolve the dispute by written agreement or agree on the Arbitrator within the later of 14 days from any such initial meeting or within 30 days from the delivery of the Dispute Notice, any such party may make written application to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in Los Angeles, California for the appointment of a single Arbitrator to resolve the dispute by arbitration. At the request of JAMS the parties involved in the dispute shall meet with JAMS at its offices within 10 calendar days of such request to discuss the dispute and the qualifications and experience which each party respectively believes the Arbitrator should have; provided, however, that the selection of the Arbitrator shall be the exclusive decision of JAMS and shall be made within 30 days of the written application to JAMS. The Arbitrator shall be a disinterested party.

(iii) Within 30 days of the selection of the Arbitrator, the parties involved in the dispute shall meet in Los Angeles, California with such Arbitrator at a place and time designated by such Arbitrator after consultation with such parties and present their respective positions on the dispute. Each party shall have no longer than one day to present its position, the entire proceedings before the Arbitrator shall be no more than three consecutive days, and the decision of the Arbitrator shall be made in writing no more than 30 days following the end of the proceeding. Such an award shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute and shall be fully enforceable as an arbitration decision in any court having jurisdiction and venue over such parties. The prevailing party or parties (as determined by the

Arbitrator) shall in addition be awarded by the Arbitrator such party’s or parties’ own legal fees and expenses in connection with such proceeding. The non-prevailing party or parties (as determined by the Arbitrator) shall pay the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

10.17. Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably, and in a manner for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

10.18. Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

10.19. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

10.20. Representation by Counsel. Each party hereto represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such party’s respective counsel, that each is fully aware of the contents thereof and its meaning, intent and legal effect, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence.

10.21. Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be legally binding upon the electronic transmission, including by facsimile or email, by each party of a signed signature page to this Agreement to the other party.
