(b) Disposition of Good Faith Deposit. The Good Faith Deposit shall be applied as a credit

Wednesday, October 24, 2007 unless a different date is mutually agreed in writing by the parties
(the “Closing”).
1.2 Cash Payments. On the day of the Closing, Sub shall deliver to Escrow Agent the sum of
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000.00) in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available U.S.

HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,400,000.00) in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available

1.3
Advertising Agreement. Buyer agrees to spend no less than FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($450,000.00) (such amount, the “Advertising Amount”) on advertising (including any
sponsorships, sweepstakes costs, etc.) across all of PlanetOut’s online and print media properties
on or before the end of June 30, 2010. For each particular advertising spend, Buyer will enter
into PlanetOut’s then-standard advertising contract (the current form of which currently resides at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xx/xxxxxx_xx_xxxxxxxxx/) and Buyer agrees to be bound by such
terms and conditions, including any insertion order accompanying such terms and conditions. The
rates for such advertising shall be commensurate with rates historically charged Atlantis. The

shall be no higher than the current Cost Per Thousand impressions (CPM) rates Atlantis paid in its
most recent contracts with Xxx.xxx and PlanetOut properties. Attached hereto marked Exhibit “A”
and incorporated herein by reference are the applicable online advertising rates. Rates vary by
type of ad unit placed. These rates shall be valid for any additional sites or properties that
PlanetOut shall make available on its network for advertisement. For print advertising, rates shall
be no higher than the current page rates currently paid by Atlantis in its most recent contracts
with Advocate, Out, and OutTraveler Magazines. Attached hereto marked Exhibit “B” and incorporated
herein by reference are the applicable print advertising rates. Print advertising rate increases
shall be allowed on a pro-rata basis for additional audited circulation increases. Such increases
shall be calculated by multiplying the current 2007 rate times the percentage increase in
circulation, based on the most current independent audit results of each publication.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, if Buyer does not spend
the full Advertising Amount on or before June 30, 2010, Buyer shall pay to PlanetOut any remaining
unspent balance of the Advertising Amount on June 30, 2010. Buyer agrees to notify PlanetOut in
writing if any advertising spend is not to be applied toward the Advertising Amount (for example,
by clearly indicating on the insertion order that the advertising spend is not credited toward the
Advertising Amount); otherwise, such advertising spend shall automatically be credited toward the
Advertising Amount.

payroll expenses incurred by Seller from the date hereof through the Closing for the Director of
Operations of RSVP and for all employees of the Business located in Minnesota.

remainder of the $805,500 from any refund from Holland America Lines of the deposit previously
provided to Holland America Lines, to the extent any refund from Holland America Lines is received
with the balance distributed to Sub.

9.4 Intentionally Omitted.
9.5 Withheld Payable Account. In order to ensure the payment of all of the Seller’s accounts
payables not expressly assumed by Sub pursuant to this Agreement (“Seller’s Payables”), Escrow

The Parties shall forward all bills constituting Seller’s Payables which are received after the
Closing to Escrow Agent, with a copy to Seller and to Buyer if not previously reviewed by such

Payables Account; or (iii) deliver written notice to Escrow Agent and Buyer that Seller disputes
such Seller’s Payable. In the event Seller disputes any Seller’s Payable (other than a dispute

responsible to settle such dispute, to pay any amounts owed in respect of such Seller’s Payable and
to pay any legal, accounting or other fees incurred in disputing such payment. If Seller disputes
with Buyer that such account payable constitutes a Seller’s Payable, Seller and Buyer shall in good
faith attempt to resolve such dispute and, if they are unable to do so, shall submit such dispute
to either arbitration or a court of law. If the aggregate amount of the Withheld Payables Account
is insufficient to pay all of the Seller’s
* | Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as *. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Escrow Agent to pay all of the Seller’s Payables (other than Seller’s Payables which Seller is
disputing in good faith) within ten (10) days after Seller’s first receipt of a xxxx for any
Seller’s Payable, Buyer shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to pay such unpaid Seller’s Payables. If Buyer makes any such payments, Seller shall
reimburse Buyer within ten (10) days following the receipt of written demand therefore from Buyer
(the “Demand Period”). If Buyer has not been reimbursed by Seller and Seller does not deliver an
objection thereto to Buyer and the Escrow Agent within the Demand Period, Buyer shall be entitled
to receive the amount Buyer paid from the Escrow Agent from the Withheld Payables Account, if any
funds remain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer and
Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Demand Period, Escrow Agent shall retain such disputed
amount until after such dispute has been resolved. On the sixtieth (60th) day following
the Closing, Escrow Agent shall release to Seller all of the remaining Withheld Payables Account,
together with accrued interest thereon, other than an amount equal to the sum of any Seller’s
Payables previously submitted to Escrow Agent by Buyer or Seller (i) for which Seller has not
provided evidence of payment to Escrow Agent or (ii) which have not been paid by Escrow Agent at
Seller’s direction. Release of the balance of the Withheld Payables Account, if any, to Seller
shall not affect Seller’s responsibility for the payment of all Seller’s Payables.
