litigation contesting the validity and ownership by Seller or its right to
use,
sell, license or dispose of any Intellectual Property, nor is there any basis
for such a claim. Seller has not received any notice (or is not otherwise aware)

assertion.

terms, and upon assignment pursuant to this Agreement, will be enforceable
by
Purchaser. No party thereto is in default and no claim of default by any party
has been made or is now pending, and no event exists which, with or without
the
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a breach or
default, cause the acceleration of any obligation, permit the termination or
excuse the performance by any party thereto, or would otherwise adversely affect
the Business or the Purchased Assets. Except as noted on Schedule
1.1(b),
each
Assumed Contract is assignable by Seller to Purchaser without the consent of
any
third party. True and complete copies of the Assumed Contracts, including all

other commission as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
Section

With
respect to the Securities to be received by Seller:
(a) Seller
acknowledges that the Securities to be issued and delivered to Seller hereunder

and not with a view to the resale or other transfer or distribution of any
portion thereof or interest therein in violation of the Act, and Seller has

present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
transferring or distributing the Shares or any portion thereof or interest
therein in violation of the Act. Seller is not a registered broker-dealer or
an
entity engaged in the business of being a broker-dealer.
(c) Seller
acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its
investment in the Securities, and has such knowledge and experience in financial
or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of

7

regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act
only in certain limited circumstances.
(g) Seller
understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act, and

not been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state of
the
United States. Seller acknowledges that it has no right to require Handheld
to
register the Securities under the Act or to register or qualify the Securities
under the securities laws of any state of the United States, except as set
forth
in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(h) It
is
understood that, until the earlier of: (a) registration under the Act or (b)
the
time when any of the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Act, stock certificates evidencing such Securities shall bear the following
legend:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE

from the Closing Date (the “APA
Restricted Period”),
Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for
his
own benefit or as an agent for another person or entity,
engage
in any activities, carry on or participate in the ownership, management or
control of, or allow the Business’ name or reputation be used in or by any other
person or entity that engages in “Competitive Business Activities” worldwide.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business Activities”
shall mean
the
operation of a website, or other electronic system with similar capabilities,
that is, in whole or in part, devoted to hosting user-generated, PG-13-like
rated humor videos. Seller acknowledges the reasonableness of the geographic
scope as technology would allow Seller to operate a similar business
anywhere.
10
Section
7.3. Nonsolicitation.
Seller
agrees that for the APA Restricted Period, Seller shall not, directly or
indirectly, for his own benefit or as an agent for another person or entity
(i)
solicit for hire, hire or engage, or enter into any arrangement with any
employee, contractor or agent of Purchaser or the Business without the prior
written consent of Purchaser unless such employee or contractor at the time
has
not been employed or engaged by Purchaser or the Business for a period of two
(2) years; or (ii) call on or solicit any of the customers or suppliers (other
than general site sponsors and/or advertisers and server providers) of Purchaser
or the Business or make known the names and addresses of such customers or
suppliers or any information relating in any manner to Purchaser or the Business
or Purchaser’s or the Business’ relationships with such customers or suppliers.
Section
7.4. Miscellaneous.
(a)
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Article
6
are reasonable and valid in scope and in all other respects and are designed
to
protect the goodwill associated with the Purchased Assets and the Business.
If
any of such covenants is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (i) the remaining terms
and
provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable
term
or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid
and
enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid
or
unenforceable term or provision. In the event that, any of the provisions of
this Article 6 relating to scope of the covenants contained therein or the
nature of the business restricted thereby shall be declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems
enforceable, such provision(s) shall be deemed to be replaced herein by the
maximum restriction deemed enforceable by such court.
(b)
Seller agrees that a breach of this Article 6 may
cause
irreparable injury to Purchaser, that Purchaser’s remedies at law in the event
of such breach would be inadequate and that accordingly, Purchaser shall be
entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have at law or
in
equity, to an injunction enjoining and restraining Seller from doing or
continuing to do any such violation and any other violations or threatened
violations of this Article 6.
ARTICLE
VIII.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section
8.1. Indemnification.
11
(a) For
a
period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its stockholders, directors, officers,
members, managers, employees, agents, representatives and assigns (each an
“Affiliate”)
from
and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”),
directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with, or based upon or
arising from any of the following: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach or non
performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by Seller in this Agreement or any related agreement; (ii) the failure
of
Seller to perform fully any covenant, provision or agreement to be performed
or
observed by it pursuant to this Agreement or any related agreement other than
the Consulting Agreement; (iii) any other matter as to which Seller in other
provisions of this Agreement or any related agreement has agreed to indemnify
Purchaser; and (iv) any claims of third parties in respect of the Purchased
Assets, including the Assumed Contracts or regarding the conduct of the Business
prior to the Closing that are asserted prior to, on or after the Closing. Seller
shall reimburse the Purchaser or its Affiliates promptly upon demand for any
un-reimbursed payment made or Loss suffered by Purchaser or its Affiliates,
as
such payment is made or Loss suffered, in respect of any Loss, liability,
judgment, claim or demand to which the foregoing indemnity relates. With respect
to any and all claims by Purchaser under this Section 8.1 arising out of or
in
connection with this Agreement, whether such liability arises from any claim
based upon contract, warranty, tort, failure of essential purpose or otherwise,
Seller’s aggregate indemnification obligations shall not exceed $1,250,000;
provided, however that no claim may be made by Purchaser under this Section
unless the total of the Losses associated with any single event or occurrence
triggering an indemnification claim exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars
$25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any claims arising
under
clause (iv) of this Section 8.1(a) arising as a result of the negligence, fraud
or intentional misconduct of Seller, the limitations set forth in this Section
8.1(a) shall not apply and Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be entitled to
recover the entirety of the indemnifiable amounts.
(b) Purchaser
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all
Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with, or based
upon (i) the failure of Purchaser to perform fully any covenant, provision
or
agreement to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement or any related
agreement, and (ii) any third party claims in respect of the Business or
Purchased Assets, or relating to the conduct of the Business by the Purchaser
after the Closing. Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller or its Affiliates
promptly upon demand for any unreimbursed payment made or Loss suffered by
the
Seller or its Affiliates at any time after the Closing Date in respect of any
Loss to which the foregoing indemnity relates.
(c) Nothing
in this Article 8 shall be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way
the
Purchaser or the Seller from exercising his or its other rights or from pursuing
other remedies specified in this Agreement.
