LLC INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This LLC Interest Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 10, 2011, by and among Zoo Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Mercantila Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and InfoSpace, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the sole member of the Company (“Parent”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Article IX below.

RECITALS

A. Parent owns 100% of the outstanding limited liability company membership interests of Company (the “Interests”) and desires and intends to sell the Interests to Buyer at the price and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.

B. Buyer desires and intends to purchase the Interests from the Parent at the price and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the terms hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF INTERESTS

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Interests

On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase the Interests from Parent, and Parent agrees to sell the Interests to Buyer.

1.2 Consideration for Interests

The aggregate purchase price for the Interests shall be $3,250,000 (the “Purchase Price”), payable as follows:

(a) Closing Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Parent, by wire transfer, $250,000 in cash (the “Closing Cash Payment”), plus or minus any positive or negative adjustment of the working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3 below; and

(b) Promissory Note. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Parent a promissory note reflecting the terms set forth on Exhibit 1.2(b) hereto in the principal aggregate amount of $3,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”).

1.3 Net Working Capital Adjustment

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date and (ii) a statement showing the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “NWC Statement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3, each prepared from Company’s books and records in a manner in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the sample balance sheet and Net Working Capital calculation as of May 31, 2011, which reflects Net Working Capital of $430,000 (the “Target Net Working Capital”) attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Working Capital” shall mean current assets (excluding cash), less current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue), less Excluded Assets, plus Excluded Liabilities and accrued Tax liabilities not yet paid that will be satisfied by Parent pursuant to this Agreement), and plus $725,202 in cash.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the NWC Statement to Buyer, Buyer may deliver written notice to Parent of any items shown in the NWC Statement to which Buyer objects, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such objections (the “Dispute Notice”). If no Dispute Notice is delivered within such thirty (30)-day period, Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts shown in the NWC Statement, and the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been finally determined. If, within thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of any Dispute Notice, Buyer and Parent are unable to resolve matters raised by the Dispute Notice, the parties shall submit such matters to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution. The Accounting Arbitrator shall be directed to make a final determination of Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date within thirty (30) days of engagement, limited to those areas at issue, and in accordance with the Principles and Procedures. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the determination of the Accounting Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne by the disputing party unless the Accounting Arbitrator’s final determination of Net Working Capital reflects a change of in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the amount in dispute, in which case the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne by the non-prevailing party.

(c) If the final determination of Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (either pursuant to mutual agreement or by determination of the Accounting Arbitrator) is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, Buyer shall pay to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, the amount of such excess.

(d) If the final determination of Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (either pursuant to mutual agreement or by determination of the Accounting Arbitrator) is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then Parent shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, the amount of such shortfall.

(e) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

-2-

1.4 Tax Consequences; Allocation of Purchase Price

(a) For federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the purchase and sale of the Interests hereunder shall be treated as a purchase and sale of the assets of Company.

(b) Parent and Buyer shall agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price payable hereunder (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement) among the assets of the Company within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (such allocation, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Neither Parent nor Buyer shall take or cause to be taken any position or other action inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation determined under this Agreement for any Tax reporting purpose, upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, or in any litigation, investigation or otherwise, unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of other applicable law).

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Closing”) shall take place on the earliest practicable business day (the “Closing Date”) after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IV at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, or on such other day and at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement.

(b) Unless the Indemnifying Party contests the Indemnification Claim in writing given to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice and describing in reasonable detail the basis for contesting the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, subject to the other terms of this Article V, be paid the amount of the Losses related to such Indemnification Claim or the uncontested portion thereof. Disputed Indemnification Claims shall be resolved either (i) in a written agreement signed by Buyer and Parent, or (ii) by the final decision of a court or other trier of fact.

-13-

(c) In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party Claim, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (which is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and, in connection therewith, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and make available to the Indemnifying Party all pertinent requested information under its control, provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceedings with counsel of its choice at its own expense. No compromise, settlement or other resolution of any Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages, there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law in connection therewith and there is no effect on any other Claims that may be made against such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; (ii) each Indemnified Party that is a party to such Third Party Claim is fully and unconditionally released from liability with respect to such claim and (iii) such settlement, compromise or resolution will not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, be reasonably likely to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to a settlement of any Third Party Claim that is being defended and handled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 6.5(c).

(d) Parent’s obligation to make any indemnification payment to Buyer under this Agreement shall be satisfied, subject to the limitations in this Agreement, first, by cash payment from Parent up to a maximum of the amount of the Closing Cash Payment actually paid to Parent and as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement, and, thereafter, by setting off and deducting any additional indemnification obligation from the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Buyer’s obligation to make any indemnification payment to Parent under this Agreement shall be satisfied, subject to the limitations in this Agreement, first, by cash payment from Buyer up to a maximum of the amount of the Closing Cash Payment actually paid to Parent and as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement, and, thereafter, by the issuance from Buyer to Parent of a promissory note (the “Buyer Indemnity Note”) in an amount equal to the balance of such claim remaining unpaid, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $3,000,000. The Buyer Indemnity Note shall be payable on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided that such Buyer Indemnity Note shall be senior to, and have priority in right of payment over, all other indebtedness of Buyer, except indebtedness from banks or other financial institutions, as well as priority in right of payment over any shareholders of Buyer in the event of any Liquidation Event (to be defined in the Promissory Note); and provided further, that the full amount of such Buyer Indemnity Note shall become due and payable upon any Liquidation Event (to be defined in the Promissory Note).

6.6 Recovery against Escrow Fund

(a) In addition to the indemnification rights provided in this Article VI, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Company) shall indemnify and hold the Parent harmless from and against, and shall reimburse Parent for, any and all Losses suffered and incurred by

-14-

Parent as a result of Claims against Parent relating to the ownership or operation of Company prior to the Closing, if and to the extent indemnification is available for such Losses under the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Escrowed Losses”); provided, however, that the aggregate liability of Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Company) with respect to the Escrowed Losses shall be limited to amounts actually recovered from the Escrow Fund (as established pursuant to, and defined in, the Asset Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.6.

(b) Parent shall promptly give written notice (“Escrow Claim Notice”) to Buyer and Company within thirty (30) days after receipt by Parent of written notice of a Claim relating to Escrowed Losses (an “Escrow Claim”). Any such Escrow Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances on which the asserted Escrow Claim is based and specify the amount of such Escrow Claim if then ascertainable.

(c) Upon receipt of the Escrow Claim Notice, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Company) shall take all necessary action to timely assert any available Claims and pursue any rights available to it or Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement (each, an “APA Claim”) and shall pursue diligently and in good faith all available remedies thereunder. Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Company) shall pursue, handle and conduct any such APA Claim in consultation with Parent, shall select counsel to pursue such APA Claim that is reasonably satisfactory to Parent, shall keep Parent fully informed of the status of such APA Claim, and shall take such action as to enable Parent, at its option, to participate in any proceedings relating to the APA Claim with counsel of Parent’s choice at its own expense. Buyer or its Affiliates may not settle, compromise or otherwise resolve the APA Claim without Parent’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.6, Parent shall have the right to assume the prosecution of any APA Claims, in its name or in the name of Buyer or Company, as the case may be, at the expense of Parent, and with counsel selected by Parent (which is reasonably acceptable to Buyer) and, in connection therewith, Buyer and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and make available to Parent all pertinent requested information under its control, provided that Buyer may participate in any proceedings with counsel of its choice at its own expense.

(e) Buyer and Parent hereby agree to render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate pursuit of the APA Claim.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Company continue to have the indemnification rights, as “Buyer” under the Asset Purchase Agreement and to the extent that the Company suffers any losses that are indemnifiable under such agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from pursuing indemnification claims under Article X of the Asset Purchase Agreement, subject to Buyer’s and the Company’s obligations under this Section 6 to pay or reimburse Parent from such recovery the amount necessary to reimburse Parent for Losses actually incurred by Parent thereunder.
