All Confidential Information and all Employee Developments shall remain the sole property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Employee shall acquire no proprietary interest in any Confidential Information or Employee Developments developed or acquired during the Term.

Employee expressly agrees and understands that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this Section 2 will be inadequate and that damages flowing from such breach are not usually susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that upon Employee’s violation of any provision of this Section 2, in addition to any remedy that the Company may have at law, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction immediate injunctive relief and obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach as well as an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation. Nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to limit the Company’s remedies

12

at law or in equity for any breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Section 2, which may be pursued by or available to the Company.

(h)           SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in this Section 2 shall, to the extent provided in this Section 2, survive the termination or expiration of Employee’s employment with the Company and, as applicable, shall be fully enforceable thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 2 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state. If any of the covenants of this Section 2 are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the rights of the Company or its affiliates, as applicable, to enforce any such covenant in any other jurisdiction.

3.             WAIVER OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and Employee acknowledges that he has waived, effective as of the Effective Date, any and all rights under prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between Employee and IAC LendingTree or IAC with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the Shares Agreement, as modified by the Prior Agreement, and the provisions of the Prior Agreement referred to in Section 3A(c)(i). In addition, Employee acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall continue to be subject to those terms of the Prior Agreement which survive the termination of such agreement, and those restrictive covenants in the Prior Agreement that begin to run from Employee’s date of termination, shall run from the Effective Date concurrently with any similar covenants contained herein. Employee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has made, and is not making, and in executing this Agreement, the Employee has not relied upon, any representations, promises or inducements except to the extent the same is expressly set forth in this Agreement.

This Agreement is personal in its nature and none of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the others, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided that, in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer, reorganization, or sale of all, substantially all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor (including the Company upon assignment of this Agreement) shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of the Company hereunder, and all references herein to the “Company” shall refer to such successor.

5.             WITHHOLDING. The Company shall make such deductions and withhold such amounts from each payment and benefit made or provided to Employee hereunder, as may be required from time to time by applicable law, governmental regulation or order.
