SECTION 3 TRANSACTION CONSIDERATION.
3.1 Purchase Price.
(a) In consideration for Buyer’s purchase of the Assets and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall pay to Seller an aggregate amount equal to $10,300,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”), less the Adjustment Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an amount in cash equal to $1,030,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) to be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Fund”), which will be held for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement and for the purpose of compensating Buyer and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all Damages for which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price minus the sum of the Escrow Amount, the Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Estimated Excess Amount (if any).
12
(b) The Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) equal to the actual costs to Buyer following the Closing to complete and ship all unshipped units for pending orders paid as of the Closing Date (“Pending Orders”). Within three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of all Pending Orders, together with a good faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount, such amount which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”). Within 45 days after the Closing, Buyer will deliver to Seller its calculation of the actual Adjustment Amount with reasonably appropriate supporting documentation as to such costs. Seller shall be entitled to review such determination and supporting documentation and Buyer’s books and records relating to such costs, solely for the purpose of determining whether Buyer’s determination of the Adjustment Amount reflects Buyer’s actual costs to complete and ship the Pending Orders.
(c) If the Adjustment Amount as finally determined by Buyer exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, Seller shall pay such difference to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Seller delivers its determination of the Adjustment Amount. If the actual Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, Buyer shall pay such difference to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Buyer delivers notice of the actual Adjustment Amount.
(d) The Purchase Price shall also be subject to adjustment as follows:
(i) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an estimated Closing Balance Sheet as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and an estimate of the Excess Amount based thereon (the “Estimated Excess Amount”), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a balance sheet of the Business, as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). If Buyer disagrees with the amounts listed for the Designated Liabilities in the Closing Balance Sheet, then Buyer shall notify the Seller within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. If Buyer does not so object within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, then the amounts listed for the Designated Liabilities in the Closing Balance Sheet delivered to Buyer shall be deemed to be the “Final Amounts” and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If Buyer so objects within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, then the parties shall work together for a period of ten (10) Business Days to attempt to resolve the dispute and agree upon the amounts for the Designated Liabilities as of the Closing Date. If the parties resolve the dispute, then the amounts of the Designated Liabilities as of the Closing Date mutually agreed upon by them in writing shall be deemed to be the “Final Amounts” and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the ten (10) business day period, the parties shall submit the matter for final resolution to McgLadrey LLP, or such other accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (the “Dispute Auditor”). The Dispute Auditor shall determine the final amounts for the Designated Liabilities, as of the Closing Date, within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute, and the Dispute Auditor’s determination as to the amounts of the Designated Liabilities as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the “Final Amounts,” and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs of the Dispute Auditor shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.
13
(ii) The amount by which the sum of the “Final Amounts” determined as provided in Section 3.1(d)(i), exceeds $731,671.00 shall be the “Excess Amount”. If the Excess Amount exceeds the Estimated Excess Amount, then within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such determination, Seller shall remit to Buyer the amount by which the Excess Amount exceeds the Estimated Excess Amount. If the Excess Amount is less than the Estimated Excess Amount, then within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such determination, Buyer shall remit to Seller the difference between the Estimated Excess Amount and the Excess Amount. If the sum of the Final Amounts is less than or equal to $731,671.00, then the Excess Amounts shall be deemed to be $0.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), the term “Designated Liabilities” shall mean the liabilities of the Business included under the following line items in the Closing Balance Sheet: accounts payable, Tfund commission payable, PTO accrual, accrued liabilities – general, accrued liabilities – other, allowance for sales returns, and LT portion of deferred rent, each as calculated in accordance with the methodology used to prepare the Financial Statements.
3.2 Escrow. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall on behalf of Seller deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof then remaining, shall be subject to release to Seller fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, in each case subject to the resolutions of any claims for indemnification. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
3.3 Taxes and Tax Reporting. Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for, and shall pay, 50% of all applicable sales Taxes, use Taxes, value-added Taxes and other transfer Taxes (including recording Taxes, stamp Taxes and any similar Taxes arising upon the transfer of tangible, intangible or real property or interests therein) that become due and payable as a result of the sale, transfer and delivery of the Assets. Seller and Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of any Taxes described in this Section 3.3 that are the primary responsibility of such party under any applicable Legal Requirement; provided, however, that such party’s preparation of any such Tax Returns shall be subject to the other’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other party in the timely completion, execution and filing of any documentation required by any Governmental Authority in connection with any such Taxes. Seller and Buyer each agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take actions reasonably requested by the other to minimize any sales, use and other transfer taxes and fees incurred in connection with the assignment, conveyance, transfer and/or delivery of the Assets hereunder, including the acceptance of transfer via means of electronic transmission of all Assets capable of being so transmitted. Buyer further agrees to deliver all certificates reasonably requested by Seller to verify the fact of such electronic transmissions or other actions. The parties hereto

7.2 Employee Matters.
(a) Buyer shall, or Buyer shall cause one of its Affiliates to, extend offers of employment to Seller’s employees set forth on Schedule 7.2(a) (the “Target Employees”) (and such offers to Target Employees, the “Transfer Offers”), subject to such reasonable conditions of employment as Buyer may impose, that, if accepted, shall become effective on the Closing Date or, if a Target Employee is on disability, family leave, sick leave or other approved leave of absence (other than vacation leave) on the Closing Date, on such Target Employee’s ability to return to active service (such effective date of the Transfer Offer for each Target Employee referred to hereinafter as the “Employment Commencement Date”). At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of all Target Employees on disability, family leave, sick leave or other approved leave of absence (other than vacation leave) as of the Closing Date. Seller and the officers of Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to encourage Target Employees to accept the Transfer Offers. The Transfer Offers shall set forth the proposed terms of employment for the Target Employees, including salary, incentive compensation opportunities and benefits, with base salary no less than what is paid to such Target Employee by Seller as of the date hereof. Employment pursuant to a Transfer Offer shall be contingent, among other requirements stated in the Transfer Offer, upon such Target Employee remaining continuously employed by Seller until the end of the day prior to the Closing. Target Employees who commence employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer pursuant to a Transfer Offer shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” Nothing in this Section 7.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Target Employee, or in any other employee of Seller, to employment with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. All compensation, including base salary or wages, commissions, bonuses and benefits payable by Seller to or on behalf of the Transferred Employees which is required to be paid on or before such Transferred Employee’s Employment Commencement Date, shall be vested and paid or otherwise discharged in full by Seller on or prior to such Transferred Employee’s Employment Commencement Date. Each Transferred Employee shall cease all active participation in and accrual of benefits under the Employee Plans as of the day immediately preceding such Transferred Employee’s Employment Commencement Date.
(b) Effective as of the end of the day prior to the applicable Employment Commencement Date, Seller shall terminate the employment of all Transferred Employees. Seller agrees that Buyer shall not be responsible for any severance or other obligations to any Employees, whether or not they are Transferred Employees, related to such Employees’ employment by Seller prior to the Employee’s respective Employment Commencement Date, and that Seller shall be solely responsible for any such obligations. Seller shall retain all Liability for salary, wages, accrued bonuses, accrued, but unused PTO Accrual, and any other Liabilities arising with respect to all Employees (including the Transferred Employees) before the Employment Commencement Date;
29
provided, however, Buyer shall, or Buyer shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume all Liability for the payout of all unused PTO Accrual (excluding any interest, waiting time payments and the like) set forth on the Closing PTO Amount Schedule that is for the benefit of Transferred Employees. Buyer’s Transfer Offer shall include a consent from each Transferred Employee to Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ assumption of the unused PTO Accrual set forth on the Closing PTO Amount Schedule.
(c) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true and accurate schedule setting forth the amount of all PTO Accrual through and as of the Closing Date for each of the Employees who have received a Transfer Offer and have not, prior to such date, rejected such Transfer Offer (the “Closing PTO Amount Schedule”).
(d) Seller shall retain and perform all Liabilities and maintain all insurance under COBRA with respect to Employees (including the Transferred Employees) and their covered dependents; provided, that Buyer shall, or Buyer shall cause one of its Affiliates to, comply with COBRA with respect to Transferred Employees that become covered by any group health insurance plan of Buyer or one of its Affiliates. Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall be solely responsible for all Liability for salary, wages, bonuses, accrued, but unused vacation pay and any other Liabilities arising with respect to the performance of services by all Transferred Employees on or after each Transferred Employee’s applicable Employment Commencement Date.
(e) Buyer and its Affiliates shall not assume sponsorship or any responsibilities under any Employee Plans. Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under its Employee Plans and any Employee Agreements. As of the applicable Employment Commencement Date, each Transferred Employee will be eligible to participate in Buyer’s or one of its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans and programs which are generally applicable to Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ similarly situated employees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. Each Transferred Employee shall be given credit for the corresponding service recognized by Seller prior to the date he or she terminates employment with Seller for purposes of participation eligibility, vesting and benefit eligibility under Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans and programs, whether in effect on the Closing Date or subsequently established by Buyer or its Affiliates; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service or for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan. Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ health plans to provide each Transferred Employee and his or her otherwise eligible dependents with coverage commencing immediately upon the applicable Employment Commencement. If such Transferred Employee was enrolled in Seller’s corresponding plan immediately prior to the Employment Commencement Date, then Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ health plans to recognize each such Transferred Employee’s expenditures (including those of his or her covered dependents and/or domestic partner) under Seller’s corresponding plan for the plan year in which the Closing occurs toward any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket limit in Buyer’s health plans for such plan year.
30
(f) No provision of this Agreement (including this Section 7.2) shall (i) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Transferred Employee, or any beneficiary or dependents thereof, (ii) be construed as in any way modifying or amending the provisions of any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (iii) require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue any employee benefit plan or be construed to prevent or limit Buyer or any of its Affiliates from terminating or modifying any employee benefit plan that Buyer or its Affiliates may establish or maintain or (iv) require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue or maintain the employment of any Transferred Employee following the Closing Date.
7.3 Access and Information.

No investigation pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) or otherwise by Buyer or its Representatives shall alter any representation or warranty given hereunder by Seller or affect any Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall be directed to an executive officer of Seller or such Person or Persons as may be designated by Seller. All information received in any form pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and shall be held in confidence pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof.
(b) Following the Closing, upon the request of the other party, Seller and Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and confidentiality obligations existing as of the Closing Date, grant to the other party and its Representatives during regular business hours and subject to reasonable rules and regulations of the granting party, the right, at the expense of the non-granting party, to inspect and copy the books, records and other documents in the granting party’s possession pertaining to the operation of the Assets or the Business prior to the Closing (including books of account, records, files, invoices, correspondence and memoranda, customer and supplier lists, data, specifications, insurance policies, operating history information and inventory records). In no event shall either party have access to legally privileged information of the other party, or to the consolidated federal, state or local Tax Returns of the other party.

Seller shall instruct each of its Representatives to observe the terms of this Section 7.7. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7 by any Representative, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Seller or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.7 by Seller.
7.8 Notice.
(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of (i) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (x) has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (y) has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder not being

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, treat as confidential and shall safeguard any confidential information relating to the business of Seller or its Affiliates other than the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities or primarily related to the Business that becomes known to Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed to by Seller in writing; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.9(b) shall prevent the disclosure of any such information, knowledge or data to any directors, officers or employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to whom such disclosure is necessary in the conduct of the ownership of the Assets, the handling of the Assumed Liabilities or the operation of the Business if such Persons are informed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by Buyer to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.9(b) (and Buyer shall be responsible for any such non-compliance).
(c) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the confidentiality obligations set forth herein shall not extend to information, knowledge and data that is publicly available or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the party owing a duty of confidentiality, or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the party owing a duty of confidentiality so long as such source is not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the other party. In the event that either party is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process or by the rules or regulations of
34
any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such party or a stock exchange on which such party’s securities are traded) to disclose any confidential information, such party will, except as prohibited by law, notify the other party promptly of the request or requirement so that the latter party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.9. If the other party seeks a protective order or other remedy, the party obligated to disclose the confidential information shall provide such cooperation as the other party reasonably requests. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, either party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any confidential information to any tribunal or other entity or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such party may disclose the confidential information to the tribunal or other entity; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall (i) limit such disclosure to that which is reasonably required by any applicable Legal Requirement and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the disclosure of the confidential information and to obtain, at the reasonable request of the other party, and at the other party’s cost, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the confidential information required to be disclosed as the other party shall designate.

The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Legal Requirements of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Assets to Buyer; it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Legal Requirements of any jurisdiction shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.
7.11 Company Sale Exception. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict, or prohibit the Seller or its Representatives from soliciting, encouraging, initiating, reviewing, accepting, supporting, approving, participating in any negotiations or discussions with respect to, or entering into any contract or agreement in principal concerning, any inquiry, offer or proposal (formal or informal, oral, written, or otherwise) for a Company Sale or disclosing information relating to the Seller to any Person in connection therewith.

(d) In the event an Indemnified Party shall have or reasonably anticipates a claim against the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party and, in the case of an indemnification claim by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, to the Escrow Agent to the extent there has not been a distribution in full of the Escrow Fund. Such Claim Notice shall set forth the estimated amount of the Damages to the extent reasonably available at such time (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Claimed Amount”) and a summary in reasonable detail of the basis for the claim (to the extent reasonably available at such time). The failure to give such notice shall not affect whether the Indemnifying Parties are liable for indemnification of the Claimed Amount specified in such Claim Notice unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. If the Claim Notice relates to a claim asserted by a Person not party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim if the Indemnifying Parties give notice of the intention to do so to the Indemnified Parties within thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by any court proceeding) after the Indemnifying Parties receive such Claim Notice, subject to the limitations below, and shall have the right to select and retain legal counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to defend or settle any claim or demand subject to this Section,
41
provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at its sole expense, to monitor the defense or settlement of any claim or demand. By assuming the defense of a claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have conclusively acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or demand to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of the claim in accordance with this Section, or the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently pursue the defense of such assumed claim or demand, (ii) an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable possibility that an adverse determination with respect to the proceeding giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to the Indemnified Party’s current business or future business prospects (including the fact that such Third Party Claim involves any of the employees, customers, suppliers, or any other Persons having beneficial relationships with the Business), (iii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, investigation or any other matter involving a Governmental Authority; (iv) the claim seeks by a specifically plead motion separate and distinct from a general claim for relief in a complaint, an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (v) under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of interest on any significant issue related to such proceeding exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, then in each case the Indemnified Party shall conduct or re-assume the defense of and shall have the right to settle any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense or settlement shall be included in the Damages for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder). The Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the claim and shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at its sole expense, to monitor the defense or settlement of any claim or demand. The party conducting the defense of a claim shall only have the right to settle and compromise any claim or demand if the other party to this Agreement provides its prior written consent to such settlement or compromise, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) Within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount (in which case: (A) where the Indemnifying Party is Seller and prior to full distribution of the Escrow Fund, the response shall be accompanied by a written notice executed by the Indemnifying Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount (as applicable) to the Buyer Indemnified Party, and (B) where the Indemnifying Party is Seller and following the distribution in full of the Escrow Fund, Seller shall remit payment of such Claimed Amount or Agreed Amount to Buyer promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such response and (C) where the Indemnifying Party is Buyer, Buyer shall remit payment of such Claimed Amount or Agreed Amount to Seller promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such response) or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.
42
If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 20-day period, it will be deemed to have conceded that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Claimed Amount.
(f) During the twenty (20) calendar day period following the delivery of a response from the Indemnifying Party that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such twenty (20) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall submit the Dispute to binding arbitration, and the provisions of Section 10.3 shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. If applicable, Seller and Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by Seller and Buyer instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Escrow Fund shall be disbursed to Buyer and/or Seller (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute). In the event a Dispute is resolved following the distribution in full of the Escrow Fund, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the resolution of the Dispute.
10.3 Arbitration.
(a) Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Related Agreements, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof (including any controversy or claim sounding in tort), shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of arbitration then in effect of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. Any party hereto may initiate a binding arbitration proceeding for the final resolution of any Dispute by delivering a notice to the other party hereto, describing the Dispute to be arbitrated. The place of arbitration shall be in Chicago, Illinois.
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator jointly selected by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator within ten (10) days from receipt of the notice with request for arbitration, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party each shall choose one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the rules of arbitration then in effect of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., the parties to the arbitration shall be entitled to undertake discovery in the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator(s) at his or her discretion; provided, that such discovery shall not exceed more than (i) 10 witness depositions, plus the depositions of any expert designated by the other party, (ii) 25 interrogatories, and (iii) 30 document requests. The arbitrator(s) shall have authority to hear and rule upon all discovery motions.
43
(d) Unless otherwise required by law (including securities laws and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC), the parties to this Agreement undertake and agree that all arbitral proceedings conducted with reference to this arbitration clause will be kept strictly confidential. This confidentiality undertaking shall cover all information disclosed in the course of such arbitral proceedings, as well as any decision or award that is made or declared during the proceedings. Subject to the limitations described in this Section 10.3(d), information covered by the confidentiality undertaking in this Section 10.3(d), may not, in any form, be disclosed by either party to a third party without the prior written consent of the other party.
10.4 Tax Cooperation. After the Closing, Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with each other in connection with any inquiry, audit, determination or proceeding affecting the Liability of either of them for Taxes, and, in connection with the determination of any such Liability, each of them shall make available to each other within a reasonable amount of time, at no cost to the requesting party, any documents, correspondence, reports, books and records and any other materials bearing on such Tax inquiry, audit, examination, proceeding or determination then in the possession of the requested party; provided that each party shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in assisting another party under this Section 10.4.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement solely in accordance with Section 12.1(e) or 12.1(f), but only if such termination is the result of a condition set forth in Section 8 or Section 9 (as applicable) and within the non-terminating party’s control being incapable of fulfillment due to the material breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party, the Party in material breach of this Agreement shall be liable to the other party to this Agreement for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of professionals) incurred by such other party directly in connection with this Agreement and the transaction (including costs of enforcement) following November 7, 2014 (excluding any and all punitive, special or exemplary damages), which shall be the terminating party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Damages arising from or relating to termination of this Agreement and the Transaction.
If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(c) or 12.1(d) by reason of any claim, proceeding or order challenging the Transaction, then within sixty (60) days after the date of termination of this Agreement, Seller shall pay to Buyer all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of professionals) incurred by Buyer directly in connection with this Agreement and the transaction following November 7, 2014 (excluding any and all punitive, special or exemplary damages), provided however, that in no event shall the amount paid pursuant to this paragraph exceed $250,000. The recovery of any amount pursuant to this paragraph shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Damages arising from or relating to termination of this Agreement and the Transaction.

13.5 Integration and Construction. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Agreements (including in each case all schedules and exhibits hereto or thereto) shall comprise the complete and integrated agreement of the parties hereto and shall supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. Upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Any captions to, or headings of, the sections of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties hereto, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used for the interpretation of this Agreement. Where the context so requires, words used in any gender shall be deemed to include other genders, and the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa. Unless the context requires otherwise, wherever the word “include,” “includes,” or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” The Recitals appearing at the beginning of this Agreement, and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into and are deemed to constitute a part of the operative text of this Agreement. Each party hereto and such party’s counsel have had the full opportunity to review and comment upon, and have reviewed and commented upon, this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement or any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto.
13.6 Waivers and Amendments. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing and signed by the party or parties affected thereby, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
49
13.7 Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy and to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach, and each party agrees to waive any requirement to post any bond in connection with obtaining such relief.
13.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their successors and assigns.
13.9 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
13.10 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every term, condition, obligation, and provision hereof.

Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors or assigns any rights (including, without limitation, third party beneficiary rights), remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or (b) constitute the parties to this Agreement as partners or as participants in a joint venture.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Escrow Agreement dated this day of , 2015 (the “Escrow Agreement”), is entered into by and among Logo Sportswear Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), CafePress Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller,” and together with Buyer, the “Parties,” and individually, a “Party”), and WILMINGTON TRUST, N.A., as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).
RECITALS
A. Buyer and Seller are parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February 20, 2015 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
B. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer, on behalf of Seller, has agreed to place in escrow certain funds and the Escrow Agent agrees to hold and distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.
In consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ESCROW DEPOSIT
Section 1.1. Receipt of Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent acknowledges the receipt of $1,250,000 (the “Escrow Property”) in immediately available funds.
Section 1.2. Investments.
(a) The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Property, including any and all interest and investment income, in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Escrow Agent and the Seller jointly signed by the authorized representatives of the Parties. In the absence of written investment instructions from the Parties, the Escrow Agent shall deposit and invest the Escrow Property, including any and all interest and investment income, in the M&T Bank Corporate Deposit Account, which is further described herein on Exhibit A. Any investment earnings and income on the Escrow Property shall not become part of the Escrow Property and shall be disbursed to Seller quarterly.
(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment
1
Execution Version
permitted by this Escrow Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.
Section 1.3. Disbursements.
(a) The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with joint written instructions from the Parties signed by an authorized representative of each Party (a “Joint Notice”).
Except as provided in Section 3.5, Escrow Agent shall pay and disburse the Escrow Property only as follows:
(i) to Buyer or Seller, as specified in any Joint Notice received by Escrow Agent; or
(ii) to Seller on the first Business Day following the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Escrow Property balance in excess of the dollar amount of all claims pursuant to Claim Notices (as defined below) delivered by Buyer and remaining unresolved as of such date.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on the date that is the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Buyer may deliver to the Escrow Agent and Seller a notice (a “Claim Notice”), indicating that Buyer has asserted a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the amount asserted in such Claim Notice in the Escrow Property and disburse the same only in accordance with a Joint Notice or in accordance with Section 3.5 of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may assume without further act that Seller has received Claim Notices on the same date that it has received such notices.
Buyer and Seller hereby agree to timely execute and deliver any Joint Notice necessary to cause Escrow Agent to make disbursements required under the Purchase Agreement from the Escrow Property, as contemplated by this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Property or any portion thereof in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in the Joint Notice from the Escrow Property as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts, but in any event, no later than five (5) business days following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Joint Notice.
(b) In the event that Escrow Agent makes any payment to any other party pursuant to this Escrow Agreement and for any reason such payment (or any portion thereof) is required to be returned to the Escrow Property or another party or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a receiver, trustee or other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, other federal or state law, common law or equitable doctrine, then the recipient shall repay to the Escrow Agent upon written request the amount so paid to it.
2
Execution Version
(c) The Escrow Agent shall, if advised by legal counsel of its choosing that the same is binding upon the Escrow Agent, comply with judgments or orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Property, including without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment, without any obligation to determine such court’s jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If the Escrow Agent complies with any such judgment, order or process, then it shall not be liable to any Party or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless of the final disposition of any such judgment, order or process.
(d) In the event that a Party gives funds transfer instructions (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the authorized person or persons of such Party, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated provided no call back is required if the Escrow Agent receives original instructions. The persons and telephone numbers for callbacks may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Parties agree that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.
(e) Upon request the Escrow Agent will furnish monthly statements to the Parties setting forth the activity in the account in which the Escrow Property is held (including all disbursements pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.2(a)).
Section 1.4. Income Tax Allocation and Reporting.
(a) The Parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest and other income from investment of the Escrow Property shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by Seller, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year.
(b) Prior to closing, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request. The Parties understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.
(c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Property. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 1.4(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

Execution Version
Section 1.5. Termination. Upon the disbursement of all of the Escrow Property, including any interest and investment earnings thereon, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect except that the provisions of Sections 1.4(c), 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination.
ARTICLE 2

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer and Seller desire that the Seller provide certain transition services relating to the Business as set forth in this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the parties recognize that in the transition process the performance of Seller will be dependent, in part, on the performance of the Buyer and certain external parties such as governmental agencies, vendors and others.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Transition Services.
(a) During the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 8 (the “Transition Period”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Seller shall provide, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, the services specified on Annex A hereto (each of the categories described on Annex A, a “Service” and, collectively, the “Services”) from the Closing Date and for the period after the Closing Date with respect to each such Service as set forth in Annex A, which shall be provided in a manner consistent in all material respects with that provided by Seller or one or more of its Affiliates to the Business during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall purchase and pay for such Services pursuant to this Section 1(a) as provided for herein. The Services provided by Seller hereunder shall only be made available for, and Buyer shall only be entitled to utilize such Services for the benefit of the Business.
(b) The fees payable for each Service shall be as set forth on Annex A; provided, however, that in the event any fees for Services are not set forth on Annex A, such Services shall be provided on a Cost Recovery Basis. As used herein, “Cost Recovery Basis” means the aggregate sum (such aggregate sum as determined and calculated by the Providing Party in its reasonable discretion) of all expenses, costs, fees, penalties and assessments resulting from the provision of Services to the Receiving Party by the Providing Party (other than such expenses, costs, fees, penalties and assessments resulting from a breach of (a) this Agreement or any other agreement related to the Services or (b) applicable Legal Requirements, in each case, by the Providing Party), and charges on a “direct cost basis” directly incurred in connection with performing the Services, including, but not limited to (i) variable (and excluding fixed) expenses and (ii) any goods and services taxes payable with respect to the applicable Services provided.

If any such third party requires a payment in order to make the Services available to the Receiving Party hereunder, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of this additional cost and the Parties shall use all reasonable best efforts to provide an alternative arrangement to achieve the results intended (and the Parties shall cooperate with respect thereto). In any such case, the Receiving Party shall have the option to elect (i) to pay any amounts that are required to be paid to any third party to obtain the consent of such third party in order to receive the Services hereunder or (ii) to terminate any of the Services associated with the required consent. Seller represents that, to its knowledge, as of the date hereof, no such consent is required with respect to any of the Services except as set forth in Schedule hereto.
(d) The Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a manner consistent in all material respects with the degree of care, diligence, priority, frequency and volume provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date (unless expressly specified otherwise in Annex A).

It is understood that the settlement of a strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute will be entirely within the discretion of the Providing Party. If the Providing Party is unable to provide any of the Services due to such a disability, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperatively seek a solution that is mutually satisfactory to the other Parties. In addition, upon becoming aware of a disability causing a delay in performance or preventing performance of any obligations of the Providing Party under this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to engage subcontractors to perform such obligations for the duration of the period during which such disability delays or prevents the performance of such obligation by the Providing Party.

REFERRAL AGREEMENT
THIS REFERRAL AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective , 2015 (“Effective Date”), by and between CafePress Inc., a Delaware Corporation with a principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (“CafePress”) and Logo Sportswear Inc. (“NewCo”) a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at c/o Digital Fuel Capital, LLC, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000.
1. General Scope. CafePress shall use reasonable efforts to promote and solicit sales referrals in accordance with this Agreement, through its own website or the websites of its Affiliated companies or brands (collectively, the “CafePress Website”), for the sale of certain product types related to clubs, groups and organizations, as agreed upon by the parties, on xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx and Xxxxx.xxx (collectively, the “Websites”). As part of CafePress’ referral services, CafePress will include on the CafePress Website one or more of the following types of links to the Websites: Product Links; Category Links; and Links pursuant to certain mutually agreed upon search terms and inquiries. The parties will work together to develop graphical artwork to use in linking to the Websites. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and Sales Fee (as defined below) calculation, NewCo will provide CafePress with special “tagged” link formats to be used in all links between the CafePress Website and the Websites. Links to the Website placed on the CafePress Website pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Special Link(s).” The Parties agree that they will collaboratively develop the Special Links. CafePress shall not have the right to modify or otherwise change the Special Links (including any banner content) without the prior approval of NewCo (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting in any manner CafePress’ marketing or distribution activities or its appointment of other dealers, distributors, licensees, agents or representatives of any kind. NewCo will process accepted Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from the CafePress Website to the Websites and will be responsible for all aspects of order acceptance, processing and fulfillment.
During the term of this Agreement, CafePress’ and its Affiliated companies’ will continue to display the Websites-related graphics and branding, and maintain access to the Websites-related in-site search, dropdown menus, navigation tabs/links and landing pages, as currently utilized on the CafePress Website to promote and provide referral traffic for the Websites. In the event of any modification to the CafePress Website that adversely impacts the Websites referral traffic, CafePress will use reasonable best efforts to provide for alternative referral opportunities on the CafePress Website that are no less favorable than the site search, navigation, access, landing page or graphics referral opportunities on the CafePress Website relating to the Websites prior to such change.
CafePress shall not establish any promotional or incentive-based arrangement for the purpose of generating referrals to the Websites without the prior consent of Newco, and will not willfully or intentionally take any action to generate referrals to the Websites that would reasonably be expected to result in Qualified Sales at rates below the historical conversion rate of the NewCo business as operated by CafePress.
2. Qualified Referrals. For the purposes hereof, a “Qualified Referral” shall mean a customer or prospect: (i) that is verifiably referred to NewCo using the Special Links; and (ii) that has been referred to NewCo in compliance with all of the terms of this Agreement. Approval and acceptance of any Qualified Referral or any sale of Products shall be at NewCo’s sole discretion, and NewCo may reject any such Qualified Referral or any sale for any reason.
3. Fees. For each sale of a Product to a Qualified Referral that selects and purchases a Product through the Websites pursuant to the current Google Analytics profile applicable to the Websites, which is based upon the last touch customer session on the Websites(“Qualified Sale(s)”), NewCo shall pay CafePress a Sales Fee (as defined below) and, as applicable, CafePress shall pay to NewCo a Traffic Fee (as defined below) as described below:
(a) For calendar years 2015 and 2016, if in any month, the Minimum Qualified Referrals (as defined below) AND Minimum Web Revenue (as defined below) are not met, then CafePress will pay to NEWCO, for the specified month in which the Minimum Qualified Referrals and the Minimum Web Revenue are not met, $1.20 per Minimum Qualified Referral for that month (the “Traffic Fee”) ; and
(b) For Qualified Referrals to the extent that Gross Revenue (as defined below) for any month exceeds the applicable Monthly Threshold (as defined below), NewCo shall pay to CafePress an amount equal to the product of (i) 9% multiplied by (ii) the amount by which Gross Revenue received from Qualified Sales of Products exceeds such Monthly Threshold (the “Sales Fee”).
For purposes of illustration only, please see the examples below:
2
Other than described herein, no Sales Fee will be paid to CafePress (i) for future sales or any other activity with respect to a Qualified Referral, other than with respect to Qualified Sales, or (ii) for any Qualified Sale for which NewCo is obligated to pay a referral fee to a third party, unless the referral by CafePress was the most recent of all such referrals with respect to such sale. Sales Fees will be paid within thirty (30) days after the end of each month for all Products sold during that month. NewCo will track Qualified Sales and will make available to CafePress reports summarizing this sales activity. CafePress shall have the right, upon notice to NewCo, to audit NewCo’s books and records related to Qualified Sales to confirm the accuracy of the Sales Fees. In the event that any audit shows an underpayment in excess of 5%, then NewCo shall pay all expenses associated with the audit.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: (1) Gross Revenue shall mean all revenue received from Qualified Sales for which a Sales Fee is payable hereunder; (2) Monthly Threshold shall mean the revenue generated by XxxxXxxxxxxxxx.xxx, XxxxXxxxxxxxxx.xxx and Xxxxx.xxx through links from XxxxXxxxx.xxx for the corresponding month in 2014, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto; (3) Minimum Qualified Referrals shall mean sixty percent (60%) of the total Unique Visitors, in any month, to Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, and Xxxxx.xxx through links from XxxxXxxxx.xxx for the corresponding month in 2014 as set forth in Exhibit A hereto as measured by Google Analytics; and (4) Minimum Web Revenue shall mean sixty percent (60%) of the Web Sales for the corresponding month in 2014 as measured by Google Analytics and as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
4. Trademarks and Other Designations. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, NewCo grants CafePress the right to use and display the NewCo trademarks, tradenames, and other designations of source (“Marks”) as they may appear with respect to the Products as needed to provide the services as set forth in this Agreement. All such use of the Marks shall be in accordance with any usage guidelines provided in writing.
5. Responsibility for Websites. NewCo will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the Websites and for all materials that appear on the Websites. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NewCo will be responsible for: (i) the operation of the Websites; (ii) creating and posting any applicable Product descriptions on the Websites and linking those descriptions to the CafePress Website; (iii) the accuracy and appropriateness of materials on the Website; (iv) that materials on the Website do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party; and (v) that materials on the Website are not libelous or otherwise illegal. In addition, NewCo shall not use any existing or future software products or services that (1) will replace, intercept, interfere, hinder, disrupt or otherwise alter in any manner the CafePress Website user’s access, view or usage of, or other aspect of the user’s experience at the CafePress Website (or the websites of other CafePress partners) in a manner that causes or otherwise results in a different experience from what was otherwise intended by CafePress (or such CafePress partner); or (2) will block, alter, direct, redirect, substitute, insert, append itself to, or otherwise intercept or interfere in any manner with any click through or other traffic-based transaction that originated from the CafePress Website with the intention of reducing any compensation or other payment earned by or owing to CafePress.
6. NewCo Images. If NewCo chooses to enable customers to use selected images from the Websites, either owned by NewCo or licensed from a third party, for use by a customer (“Images”) to create and purchase Products, then NewCo agrees to the following terms:
3
a. NewCo shall not market or sell a Product through the Websites referral services provided hereunder that (i) is generally offensive or inappropriate, (ii) infringes the rights of a third party, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and rights of privacy and publicity; (iii) is libelous, defamatory or slanderous; (iv) is obscene or pornographic; (v) is designed to or does harass, threaten, or abuse others; or (vi) violates any applicable law, rule, or regulation, including, without limitation, by exploiting images or the likeness of minors. While CafePress has no obligation to monitor the transactions or communications made through the Websites, it reserves the right to restrict access to or the availability of any Images or Products that CafePress determines reasonably and in good faith to be in violation of this clause 6(a), without any liability to NewCo.
b. In making available any Images for upload to and use on the CafePress Website in connection with this Agreement, NewCo grants to CafePress a royalty-free, worldwide, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 14), nonexclusive, non-sublicensable right and license in such Images, in all media existing now or created in the future, (i) to enable the marketing and sale of Products and (ii) to promote, market and advertise the Products and the Website. Such use includes, without limitation, (1) display of Products with the Images, (2) promotional “streams” of audio Images on the CafePress Website, and (3) display of pages from book Products on the CafePress Website. As between the parties, NewCo retains ownership of any Images and CafePress shall not use any Images for any purpose other than the promotion of the Products, the Websites or NewCo, or alter or modify any Images (including any use in combination with other images) without the prior approval of NewCo. Such license shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
c. NewCo represents and warrants that it has and shall maintain all necessary approvals and consents required for the use of the Images provided by NewCo to CafePress for use under this Agreement (and will provide evidence thereof upon request by CafePress). NewCo will be solely responsible for the payment of all royalties or similar payments that are or may become due to any third party in connection with the use of Images under this Agreement.
7. Warranties.

8. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER NEWCO OR CAFEPRESS MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, THE WEBSITES, ANY SERVICES RELATED THERETO (IN THE CASE OF NEWCO) OR THE CAFEPRESS WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT (IN THE CASE OF
4
CAFEPRESS), ALL OF WHICH ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” (SUBJECT TO THE REMAINING TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT). NEITHER NEWCO OR CAFEPRESS WARRANTS THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR COMPATIBLE WITH THE REMAINING PARTY’S SYSTEMS; NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS OR SALES FEES THAT MAY BE OBTAINED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Each party shall be solely responsible for all of its employees and agents and its labor costs and expenses arising in connection therewith and for any and all claims, liabilities or damages or debts of any type whatsoever that may arise on account of its activities, or those of its employees or agents, in the performance of this Agreement. The parties do not have the authority, right or ability to bind or commit the other in any way (including, without limitation, by agreeing to sale of Products) and will not attempt to do so or imply that it may do so.

10. Term and Termination. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for two (2) years, unless terminated earlier as provided herein. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party: (i) breaches a material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice; or (ii) becomes insolvent or seeks protection under any bankruptcy or comparable proceeding.

12. Liability Limitation. EXCEPT FOR (X) BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON, AND (Y) ANY WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, CAFEPRESS WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY SECTION OR SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR (I) ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR (II) FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO CAFEPRESS BY NEWCO IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.

14. Miscellaneous. No party hereto may make any press release with respect to this Agreement without the remaining party’s prior written consent. NewCo may not assign this Agreement nor any right or obligation to any Competitor of CafePress without its prior written consent and any purported transfer or assignment will be void. A Competitor shall mean any third party listed on Schedule 14 hereto, including any successor to any such third party. Except as otherwise provided herein, either party hereto may assign this Agreement to any successor in connection with a sale or other disposition of either a majority of its capital stock, or substantially all of its assets or business. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties.
