With respect to each of the domain names included in the Acquired Assets, from and after the Closing, Seller shall promptly carry out the transfer procedures, and execute any additional transfer documents, required by any applicable registrars and, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, shall unlock all such domain names and provide Purchaser with such authorization codes, credentials and other access information, and shall promptly thereafter take all such actions, necessary to complete the transfer of such domain names to the domain name registrar of Purchaser’s choice and to transfer to Purchaser (or its designee) all rights in, and control over, such domain names. From and after the Closing, except as expressly agreed to by the Parties in writing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, adopt, use, attempt to register or register any Trademarks (including as part of any company name, fictitious name, domain name or social media tag, handle, identifier, metatag or similar) anywhere in the world that are identical to or contain, or that are confusingly similar to or a colorable imitation of, the Acquired Trademarks (or any logos or designs of or associated with such Trademarks prior to the Closing Date) including translations, transliterations or foreign equivalent thereof, on or in connection with any products or services.

5.6 Chain of Title. Following the Closing, at Purchaser’s request, Seller shall, without additional consideration but at Purchaser’s reasonable expense, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and shall promptly take such further action and execute such further documents, as Purchaser may reasonably request, to effect and record any chain of title updates as may be required for any of the Acquired Trademarks with any applicable trademark office from any prior owner to Seller and to effect and record the assignments contemplated under this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and vest in Purchaser (or its designee) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets. From and after the Closing, if Seller becomes aware of any Trademarks, domain names, documents or materials held by Seller or any of its Affiliates, in each case, that constitute Acquired Assets but were not expressly conveyed to Purchaser, Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof as promptly as practicable and, at Purchaser’s request, shall assign, convey, transfer and deliver such items to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designated Affiliate for no additional consideration on an “as is” basis.

5.7 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Effective Date, all Confidential Information provided by one Party (or its Advisors or Affiliates) (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (or its Advisors or Affiliates) (collectively, the “Receiving Party”) shall be subject to and treated in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.7. As used in this Section 5.7, “Confidential Information” means (1) all information disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, including all information with respect to the Disclosing Party’s licensors, licensees or Affiliates, and (2) all memoranda, notes, analyses, compilations, studies and other materials prepared by or for the Receiving Party to the extent containing or reflecting the information in the preceding clause (1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that, in each case as demonstrated by competent written documentation:

(i) was already known to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

(ii) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;

(iii) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure to the Receiving Party, other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

(iv) is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto; or

(v) is subsequently independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party without the aid, application or use of Confidential Information.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) From and after the Closing, (i) all Confidential Information obtained by Seller (or any Seller Party) from Purchaser (or any member of Purchaser Group) constituting the Acquired Assets, and (ii) all Confidential Information relating exclusively to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Purchaser Confidential Information”), shall be deemed to be Confidential Information disclosed by Purchaser to Seller (or any Seller Party) for purposes of this Section 5.7 without regard to Section 5.7(a)(i) and during the period from the Closing through the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Confidentiality Period”) shall be used by Seller (or any Seller Party) solely as required to (A) perform their respective obligations or exercise or enforce their respective rights under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, or (B) comply with applicable Law or its respective regulatory, stock exchange, Tax or financing reporting requirements (each of (A) and (B), a “Seller Permitted Purpose”). Until the expiration of the Confidentiality Period, Seller shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, any of the Purchaser Confidential Information to any Person except those Persons to whom such disclosure is necessary in connection with any Seller Permitted Purpose and who are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and directed to comply with the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 5.7. Seller shall treat, and will cause all Seller Parties to treat, the Purchaser Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as Seller normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure. Seller shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of Purchaser Confidential Information by any Seller Party that would breach this Section 5.7 if such Seller Party was a party hereto.

(d) In the event either Party is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable Law to disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information, it will notify the other Party in a timely manner so that such Party may seek a protective Order or other appropriate remedy or, in such Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with any reasonable actions to be taken for the foregoing purpose. In any event, the Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information may furnish it as requested or required pursuant to applicable Law (subject to any such protective order or other appropriate remedy) without Liability hereunder, provided, that such Party furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Party is advised by an opinion of its counsel is legally required, and such Party exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be construed as preventing or in any way inhibiting either Party from complying with applicable Law governing activities and obligations undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement in any manner which it reasonably deems appropriate.

5.8 Exclusivity.

(a) During the period from the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Closing, Seller agrees that it shall not, and that it shall cause each Seller Party not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) initiate, encourage, entertain, solicit, discuss or negotiate, any inquiry, proposal or offer (written or oral) from any Person other than Purchaser that could reasonably be expected to lead to, or the making, announcement, submission or the completion of, an Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) participate or engage in or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish or disclose any non-public information relating to the Acquired Assets, or otherwise cooperate with, knowingly facilitate or knowingly assist, any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or pursuant to which Purchaser or the Seller Parties may be required to delay, abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements;

(iv) submit an Acquisition Proposal to the board of directors of any Seller Party or any shareholder of any Seller Party; or

(v) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause each Seller Party to, immediately cease any existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than a member of Purchaser Group) that has made or indicated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal. If any Seller Party takes any action that the Seller is obligated by this Section 5.8(b) not to take, the Seller shall be deemed to have breached this Section 5.8(b).

(c) Seller shall, and shall cause each Seller Party to, notify Purchaser promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) upon receipt by any Seller Party of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, indication by any Person that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or amendment or modification to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Acquired Assets other than requests for information in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall include the identity of such Person and a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request (or, where no such copy is available, a description of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request).

Unless otherwise provided herein, the representations and warranties of Seller in Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Authorization of Agreement), and Section 3.5 (Title to Properties) and the first sentence of Section 3.9(f) (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date. The other representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date. The covenants and other agreements in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance or compliance following the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms, after which such covenants shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 9.1, any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 9.1 will continue to survive if an Indemnification Notice or notice of a Third-Party Indemnification Claim (as applicable) shall have been timely given in accordance with this ARTICLE IX on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this ARTICLE IX.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless and any member of Purchaser Group (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) for any and all Losses based upon, arising out of, related to, resulting from or caused by (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of Seller in this Agreement ((i) as of the Effective Date or (ii) as of the Closing Date as though all such representations and warranties were made on and as of the Closing Date) or the other Transaction Agreements, (b) any material breach of or failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement of Seller (or any Seller Party) in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (c) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability (including any failure of Seller to pay, perform or discharge any Excluded Liability), or (d) Fraud or Willful Breach.

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each Seller Party (the “Seller Indemnitees”) for any and all Losses based upon, arising out of, related to, resulting from or caused by (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (b) any material breach of or failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement of Purchaser (or any member of Purchaser Group) in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (c) any Assumed Liability (including any failure of Purchaser to pay, perform or discharge any Assumed Liability), or (d) Fraud or Willful Breach.

9.4 Notice of Claims; Direct Claims.

(a) With respect to any claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee in accordance with this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof (the “Indemnification Notice”); provided that the failure to give prompt written notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Such Indemnification Notice shall specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Indemnification Claim and the amount of the Indemnification Claim, if known or estimable.

(b) After receipt of any Indemnification Notice with respect to a claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party on account of Losses other than in connection with a Third-Party Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have forty-five (45) days to respond in writing to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such forty-five (45)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the Indemnification Claim set forth in the Indemnification Notice, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Notice.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party objects in writing to any claim or claims made in such Indemnification Notice, the amount of Losses to which the Indemnified Party shall be entitled in respect of such Indemnification Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims, and if such agreement can be reached, shall enter into a written agreement expressly stating that it is an agreement made pursuant to this Section 9.4(c). If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to 30 days after delivery of an objection notice, either Party may bring an Action in accordance with the terms of Section 10.10 to resolve the matter.

9.5 Third-Party Indemnification Claims.

(a) If an Indemnification Claim arises as a result of a claim by a third-party Person against an Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Indemnification Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to control the negotiation, settlement and defense of the Third-Party Indemnification Claim through counsel of its choice (with the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party). The election of the Indemnified Party to assume such control shall be made within thirty (30) days following delivery of notice of the Third-Party Indemnification Claim.

(b) If the Indemnified Party timely elects to assume such control, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third-Party Indemnification Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, but the fees and disbursements of the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Whether or not the Indemnified Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third-Party Indemnification Claim, unless such settlement (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or of any rights of any Person, (ii) provides for no material obligations of the Indemnified Party other than monetary damages or other monetary payments and (iii) completely, finally and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and the Acquired Assets in connection with such Third-Party Indemnification Claim, in each case to be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third-Party Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other with respect to the defense of any Third-Party Indemnification Claims and, regardless of which party has control thereof as provided for herein, shall keep each other reasonably advised with respect thereto.

9.6 Tax Treatment. All amounts received by Purchaser as indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the aggregate Purchase Price payable hereunder, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.7 Mitigation; Insurance. Each Party shall and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to take reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses to the extent required by applicable Law upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses for which it would have the right to seek indemnification hereunder, provided that such mitigation efforts, to the extent relating to an Indemnification Claim, shall themselves be deemed to be indemnifiable Losses. All Losses shall be net of any amounts actually recovered under insurance policies or other sources.

9.8 Exclusions of Damages; Limitation of Liability; Sole Remedy.

(a) EXCEPT FOR SUCH PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD, NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY SPECIAL, ENHANCED, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9.8(A) SHALL PRECLUDE ANY RECOVERY BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY AGAINST AN INDEMNIFYING PARTY FOR A THIRD-PARTY INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM HEREUNDER.

(b) Except with respect to Indemnification Claims arising from Fraud or Willful Breach, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses payable by Seller under Section 9.2(a) (i) in respect of all Indemnification Claims made thereunder (other than claims made pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for breach of a Fundamental Representation) shall not exceed $750,000, and (ii) in respect of all Indemnification Claims made thereunder for breach of a Fundamental Representation shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Cash Payment. The cumulative indemnification obligation of Seller under Section 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) shall in no event exceed the Cash Payment.

(c) Other than with respect to non-monetary specific performance or other non-monetary equitable relief, the indemnification under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive means of recovery by any Party against any other party hereto for any claim for any inaccuracy, breach, or alleged breach, of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Party shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies, and none of the limitations set forth herein shall limit any recovery related thereto, in the case of a Party’s Fraud or Willful Breach or such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies that may not be waived under Law.

10.3 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon Purchaser and Seller and shall inure to the benefit of and be so binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates and shall provide prompt written notice thereof to Seller, provided that such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, following the Closing, Purchaser will have the unrestricted right to further assign the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities to any other Person in any manner that it may deem fit.

10.4 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Schedules or exhibits hereto may be (a) amended only in a writing signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller or (b) waived only in a writing executed by the Person against which enforcement of such waiver is sought. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

10.5 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

10.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity in such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or in any other jurisdiction.

10.7 References. Except as otherwise indicated, all references to “Sections,” “Schedules,” and “Exhibits” in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, respectively. All references to “this Agreement” in this Agreement or to “the Agreement” in the Schedules to this Agreement shall be deemed to include all Schedules to this Agreement. Any Contract or statute defined or referred to in this Agreement or in any Schedule means such Contract or statute, in each case as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts) by waiver or Consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession or comparable successor statutes. Any Contract defined or referred to in this Agreement or in any Schedule shall include all exhibits, schedules and other documents or Contracts attached thereto. Any statute defined or referred to in this Agreement or in any Schedule shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

10.8 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and Schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Agreements, contains the entire agreement of the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that a Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at Law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of Seller’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 10.9 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.

10.10 Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable without regards to conflicts of Law principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply.

10.12 Counterparts and PDF. This Agreement and any other agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed by electronic signature (including Docusign) and in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, when taken together shall constitute one agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in PDF format or in electronic signature format (including Docusign) shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms of this Agreement.

10.13 Publicity.
