(c) Liens.  Seller has not assigned, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered title in and to any of the Owned Intellectual Property, and Seller has not made or entered into any covenants and agreements not to assert or enforce any Owned Intellectual Property against, another Person (other than licenses and rights granted pursuant to the Contracts listed in Section 3.14(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions or pursuant to non-exclusive licenses granted to end user customers in the ordinary course of business).  The Owned Intellectual Property is free and clear of any Liens (other than licenses and rights granted pursuant to the contracts listed in Section 3.14(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions or pursuant to non-exclusive licenses granted to end user customers in the ordinary course of business).  Seller is not obligated to pay any further sums to another Person for or based on the prior use of Seller Intellectual Property.  Seller does not have any Contract to pay any former or current personnel of Seller (including employees, contract workers, temporary workers and agents) any sums for Seller’s ownership or use of any Owned Intellectual Property.

notice of such infringement.  Seller has not received any notice alleging that the conduct of the Business infringes, misappropriates, or violates the terms of license of any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property rights of any third party other than immaterial notices received in the ordinary course of business where Seller has responded by ceasing or altering the conduct that gave rise to such notices.  There is no Claim pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened which challenges the validity, enforceability or ownership of any Owned Intellectual Property.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.14(d)(i), Seller has not been sued at any time for infringing any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property right of another Person.  There are no Claims of infringement of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property rights pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against any Person who would be entitled to indemnification by Seller for such Claims.  Other than pursuant to the contracts listed in Section 3.14(d)(ii) of the Schedule of Exceptions, Seller has not entered into any Contracts that contain express indemnification provisions obligating Seller to indemnify any other party against any charge that a deliverable delivered by Seller to such party infringes any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property rights of another Person.
 
(e) Know-How.  Except as disclosed in Section 3.14(e) of the Schedule of Exceptions, there have been no disclosures by Seller to any other Person, other than disclosures to Persons who are bound to hold such information in confidence pursuant to valid and enforceable agreements or obligations or otherwise by operation of Law, of any confidential information that Seller holds as a trade secret and that is material to the operation of the Business, the unauthorized public disclosure of which was, is or could result in a Material Adverse Effect. To Seller’s Knowledge, no material breach or other violation of such confidentiality agreements or obligations (including, without limitation, any breach or violation that materially lessens the value of any material trade secret of Seller applicable to the Business) exists.
 
(f) Protection.  Seller has taken all reasonable measures to (i) protect the proprietary nature of the Owned Intellectual Property, and has implemented policies therefor, and (ii) ensure the physical and electronic protection of trade secrets from unauthorized access, disclosure, use or modification.  To Seller’s Knowledge, no acts or omissions have occurred that would invalidate, reduce or eliminate, in whole or in part, the enforceability, scope or value of, or Seller’s entitlement to use any material trade secret or other Intellectual Property referenced in Section 3.14(a), or otherwise impair the Business as it is presently conducted.

(j) No Viruses.  All websites owned or operated by Seller as part of its operation of the Business are fit in all material respects for their respective intended purposes and perform in all material respects as intended.  Except as indicated on Section 3.14(j) of the Schedule of Exceptions, Seller has used its reasonable efforts and up-to-date versions of commercially available anti-Virus products and services to ensure that: (i) all Owned Intellectual Property is free of all known Viruses; and (ii) all Owned Intellectual Property does not and shall not contain any code, feature or function designed to: (A) disable the Owned Intellectual Property or render it incapable of processing data; or (B) enable Seller or any third party to: (1) discontinue the effective use by Purchaser of any such Intellectual Property; (2) access, erase, destroy, corrupt or modify any data without Purchaser’s knowledge and consent; or (3) bypass any internal or external security measure without Purchaser’s prior knowledge and consent, in each case, other than any code, feature or function designed for Seller for rendering computer network operations services, information assurance and cybersecurity technology services relating to information leakage detection and prevention, insider communications and threat detection, internet/intranet usage monitoring and external network surveillance.  Seller shall immediately provide to Purchaser written notice in reasonable detail upon becoming aware of the existence of any Virus or any of the foregoing features or functions contained in Seller Intellectual Property.

No stock option granted under any Employee Plan has an exercise price that has been or may be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date such option was granted or has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option.
 
(h) Seller, each Employee Plan and each Employee Plan “sponsor” or “administrator” (within the meaning of Section 3(16) of ERISA) has complied with the applicable requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 et seq. of ERISA or any comparable state Law.

Seller has heretofore delivered or made available to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of all Real Property Leases, including all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto.  Each Real Property Lease is valid, binding and in full force and effect, and as of the Closing, all amounts currently due and owing pursuant to the Real Property Leases will have been paid in full.  Seller is not, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no other party is in Default under any Real Property Lease.  Since December 31, 2008, Seller has not received notice of, nor to Seller’s Knowledge, has there been any threatened Default by any landlord or tenant under any Real Property Lease or under any subordinate transfer under a Real Property Lease.  All required Consents of, filings with, or notices to, any party to any of the Real Property Leases in connection with the Transactions have been completed or will be completed by the Closing Date. All of the land, buildings, structures, plants, facilities and other improvements used by Seller in the Business are included in the Leased Real Property.

(c) Seller’s website has been built using hardware and software components that are scalable to meet the Seller-anticipated growing demand of user traffic over the next 12 months with reasonable and proportional expenditures and no known or reasonably foreseeable limitations.  For the avoidance of doubt, scaling to such levels will require further expenditures in hardware and software; provided, however, that there is no obligation, other than any obligation expressly set forth in the Hirsch Employment Agreement, to make any expenditures in hardware, software or otherwise, in order to scale Seller’s website.  For the period beginning January 1, 2009 and ending on the Closing Date, Seller’s website has historically been (and will be) operational for 99.8% of the time, excluding scheduled maintenance (based on the total number of minutes such site was (and will be) operational during such period vs. the total number of minutes in such period, excluding scheduled downtime for maintenance).

(a) Notice of Claims.  If (i) a Claim is made by a third party against any Indemnitee, (ii) the Indemnitee believes in good faith that such party has experienced or incurred Damages, and (iii) the Indemnitee believes in good faith that it may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02, then such Indemnitee shall give to Parent written notice of such Claim or Damages (“Indemnification Notice”) as soon as reasonably practicable (provided that failure to give such notice shall not limit an Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failure to give, the notice adversely affects an Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the Claim).  If a Claim relates to an action filed by a third party, such notice will be given by the Indemnitee to Seller promptly but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee has received written notice of such Claim (provided that failure to give such notice shall not limit an Indemnitor’s obligation hereunder except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failure to give, the notice adversely affects an Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the Claim).  The Indemnification Notice will describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the Claim, a good faith estimate of the Damages (to the extent then known) and the basis for the Damages associated therewith.
 
 
36

 
 
(b) Procedure in Event of Indemnification Claim.  If an Indemnitee desires to assert an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.02, the Indemnitee promptly shall provide an Indemnification Notice to Parent or SC, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.03(a).  If Parent or SC, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice does not object to the propriety of the indemnification claims described as being subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02 or the amount of Damages asserted in the Indemnification Notice, the indemnification claims described in the Indemnification Notice shall be deemed final and binding (a “Permitted Indemnification Claim”).  If Parent or SC, as applicable, contests the propriety of an indemnification Claim described on the Indemnification Notice and/or the amount of Damages associated with such Claim, then Parent or SC, as applicable, shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written notice detailing with reasonable specificity all then known objections the Indemnitee has with respect to the indemnification claims contained in the Indemnification Notice (“Indemnification Objection Notice”).  If Parent or SC, as applicable, and the Indemnitee are unable to resolve the disputed matters described in the Indemnification Objection Notice within fifteen (15) business days after the date the Indemnitee received the Indemnification Objection Notice, the disputed matters will be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction. Any undisputed indemnification claims contained in the Indemnification Notice shall be deemed to be final and binding and shall constitute a Permitted Indemnification Claim.  If Final Resolution of the litigation results in all or any portion of an indemnification Claim properly being subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02, such Claim or portion thereof shall be final and binding and shall constitute a Permitted Indemnification Claim.
 
 
(i) An Indemnitee against whom a third party Claim is made shall give Parent or SC, as applicable, notice of such Claim in accordance with Section 7.03(a) so that an Indemnitor shall have an opportunity to defend such Claim, at such Indemnitor’s sole expense and with legal counsel selected by an Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, that such Indemnitee at all times also shall have the right to participate fully in or to assume control of such defense at such Indemnitee’s sole expense and each Indemnitor will cooperate fully with the Indemnitee; provided, further, that if the Indemnitee undertakes the sole defense of such Claim, it shall defend such Claim in good faith, shall apprise Parent or SC, as applicable, from time to time as the Indemnitee deems appropriate of the progress of such defense and shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement except with the written consent of Parent or SC, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  In addition, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ one law firm as legal counsel, together with a separate local law firm in each applicable jurisdiction (each, “Separate Counsel”), to represent the Indemnitee in any action or group of related actions if, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment at any time, either a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and an Indemnitor exists with respect to such Claim or there may be defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to either Indemnitor, and in that event: (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of such Separate Counsel will be paid by the Indemnitors; and (ii) each Indemnitor and the Indemnitee will have the right to conduct its own defense of such Claim.  Failure of Parent or SC, as applicable, to give an Indemnitee written notice of its election to defend such Claim within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice thereof shall be deemed a waiver by each Indemnitor of its right to defend such Claim.  If both Indemnitors shall
 
 
37

 
 
elect not to assume the defense of such Claim (or if both Indemnitors shall be deemed to have waived its right to defend such Claim), the Indemnitee against whom such Claim is made shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the sole defense of, and at the expense of, the Indemnitors (including the payment of the Indemnitees’ reasonable attorneys’, accountant and expert fees).  No Indemnitor, in the defense of such Claim, shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that includes any admission of Liability by, on behalf of or with respect to any indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to all the Indemnitees against whom such Claim is made or indemnification is provided of a general release from all past, present and future Liability in respect of, relating to or arising from such Claim or the alleged acts or omissions on which such Claim is based (which release shall exclude only any obligations incurred in connection with any such settlement) or contains any limitation, restriction, sanction or restriction on the conduct, or conduct of any business, by any such Indemnitee.
 
 
(a) An indemnified party shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(i), except if and to the extent that the aggregate Losses incurred by the Indemnitees exceeds the sum of $15,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), and, if and when the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Indemnitees may recover under Section 7.02(a)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(i), as applicable, exceeds the Threshold Amount, then such Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses in excess of such amount.  The limitations set forth in this Section 7.04(a) shall not apply to (A) any Claims related to an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.01 (Existence and Power), 3.02 (Authorization; Binding Effect), 3.27 (Finders’ Fees), 4.01 (Existence and Power), 4.02 (Authorization; Binding Effect) 4.06 (Finders’ Fees) or 4.07 (Payment of Liabilities), or (B) any Claims based on a finding of fraud or willful misrepresentation.
 
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, and except for Claims based upon a finding of fraud or willful misrepresentation, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a)(i) in an aggregate amount greater than the sum of (i) $150,000, plus (ii) any Earn-Out Payment to which SC becomes obligated pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  Except for Claims based upon a finding of fraud or willful misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII shall be the Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy for all Claims, Losses and Damages arising out of the matters set forth in this Article VII and Seller and Parent, on the one hand, and SC and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby waive, for and on behalf of all of their related Indemnitees, any and all other remedies, whether at law or in equity, that are otherwise available to the Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall eliminate the ability of a party hereto to apply for equitable remedies to enforce the other party’s or parties’ obligations under this Agreement.

(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREIN, NO INDEMNITOR SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE TO AN INDEMNITEE ON ACCOUNT OF ANY INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.02 FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (EXCLUDING ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGE ASSESSED AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE IN RESPECT OF A CLAIM BY A THIRD PARTY).
 
7.05 Right of Setoff.  Each of Purchaser and SC shall be entitled to set-off the amount of any indemnification payment owed to Purchaser or SC under this Article VII against any amounts SC or Purchaser may owe either Parent or Seller, including any obligations of SC to pay any Earn-Out Payment pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and any amounts SC may become obligated to pay under the Services Agreement; provided, however, that any amounts which SC may become obligated to pay under the Services Agreement which are set-off by Purchaser or SC in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall be: (a) first, treated as payments made by Purchaser under the Promissory Note referenced in Section 6.01(d) until such Promissory Note is paid in full; and (b) second, after such Promissory Note is paid-in-full, treated as an indemnity payment pursuant to this Article VII.
