NOW THEREFORE, in order to secure the payment of the principal, interest and any other payments required to be paid to the Lender under the Note, and for valuable consideration, the parties to this agreement agree as follows:
1. Sale. Grantor sells and Lender purchases from Grantor the domain name xxx.xxxxxx.xxx (the “Domain”) subject to the terms and conditions specified herein.
2. Purchase Price Paid for Domain by Lender. Lender shall purchase the Domain from Grantor for one dollar ($1.00).
3. Leaseback of Domain to Grantor. Lender shall lease back the Domain to Grantor for one dollar ($1.00) during the term of the Note. Unless and until there has been an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), Grantor shall continue to be retained on the administrative user account for the Domain as a technical user, which status will permit Grantor to maintain the necessary technical data and current connection to Grantor’s website to operate and use the Domain without disruption. Lender may sell the Domain upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
4. Grantor’s Purchase Option to Repurchase Domain. Upon payment in full to Lender of: (i) the principal, (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest on, and (iii) all other direct or indirect payments due under and/or relating to the Note owed by the Grantor to the Lender, the Grantor shall have the right and option to purchase the Domain from Lender for one dollar ($1.00) (the “Domain Purchase Option”), whether such Note is prepaid or paid upon maturity. Upon payment in full of all the obligations of the Grantor to the Lender under the Note and the other Transaction Documents, all of Lender’s rights and title to the Domain under this Agreement shall terminate. Upon Grantor’s exercise of the Domain Purchase Option, Lender will, no later than the third (3rd) business day following the date of exercise of the Domain Purchase Option, create an administrative user account for Grantor in Network Solutions, which administrative user account will allow Grantor to have full control over the Domain, including changing the administrator login and password.

The Grantor has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its intellectual properties.

(i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, each of the parties hereto hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto expressly and irrevocably waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of all of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.
(ii) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by the other party hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in connection with the Transaction Documents.
(f) No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
(g) Notices. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by facsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor’s current address. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors.
(h) Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(i) Successor Interests. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon Grantor, and upon Grantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, and shall be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns.
(j) Survival of Representations and Warranties.
