CERTAIN TAX MATTERS

(a) Scouted will be responsible for preparing and filing property (whether real or personal) and similar Tax Returns (“Property Tax Returns”) with respect to the Purchased Assets for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and will make all payments required with respect to each such Tax Return. Newco will be responsible for preparing and filing all Property Tax Returns for the Purchased Assets for all periods commencing after the Closing Date and will make all payments required with respect to each such Tax Return. In the case of any Property Tax Return that covers a period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes payable (i) by Scouted, shall be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the commencement of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) by Newco, shall be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the day following the Closing Date through and including the last day of the Straddle Period, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Newco and Scouted shall timely pay, or reimburse the other, for any Taxes properly payable by such party for a Straddle Period pursuant hereto. Newco and Scouted shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any audit, Action or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon a party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, Action or other proceeding, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and timely notification of receipt of any notice of an audit or notice of deficiency relating to any Tax or Tax Return with respect to which the non-recipient may have Liability hereunder.

(b) Scouted shall pay all sales or use Taxes, recording, registration and conveyance Taxes and fees, and similar transfer Taxes arising from or relating to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and Scouted shall file or cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes. To the extent practicable, Scouted shall deliver all of the Purchased Assets through electronic delivery or in another manner reasonably calculated and legally permitted to minimize or avoid the incurrence of transfer and sales Taxes if such method of delivery does not adversely affect the condition, operability or usefulness of any Purchased Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, Scouted shall be solely responsible for any and all income, gross receipts, and similar Taxes of Scouted for all periods (whether before or after the Closing), and Scouted shall be solely responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns relating thereto. At the reasonable request of Newco, Scouted will certify to Newco that Scouted has paid all such income, gross receipts and similar Taxes and has prepared and filed all such Tax Returns.

All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein (other than this Article VIII) shall terminate on the Closing Date and shall thereafter be of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the Expiration Date shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. The Holdback Shares shall be cancelled or released as appropriate using the Share Consideration Price Share

Section 8.02 Indemnification by Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Scouted and each Scouted Indemnitor shall severally and not jointly (based on their pro rata percentage of Share Consideration (the “Indemnity Pro Rata Percentage”)) indemnify and defend each of Recruiter and Newco and each of their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Recruiter Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Recruiter Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Scouted contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Scouted pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Scouted pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) any Third Party Claim based upon, resulting from or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of Scouted or any of its Affiliates (other than the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities) conducted, existing or arising on or prior to the Closing Date; or

(e) any Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness of Scouted outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not paid or satisfied by Scouted at or prior to the Closing.

Section 8.03 Indemnification By Recruiter and Newco. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Recruiter and Newco, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors (collectively, the “Scouted Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Scouted Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Recruiter or Newco pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) any Third Party Claim based upon, resulting from or arising out of the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Purchased Assets following the Closing Date.

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors shall not be liable to the Recruiter Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of the Recruiter Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02 exceeds $10,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses as if there was no Basket.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligation of Recruiter and Newco shall not exceed $320,000, and the indemnification obligation of any Scouted Indemnitor shall not exceed such Scouted Indemnitor’s Indemnity Pro Rata Percentage of $320,000.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to contrary, the liability of Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors shall be limited to the value of the Recruiter Common Stock issued under this Agreement or transferred to the Scouted Indemnitors based on the Share Consideration Price Per Share. In no event shall Scouted or the Scouted Indemnitors be required to pay or be liable pursuant to Section 8.02 for an amount exceeding the value of the number of shares of the Recruiter Common Stock based on the Share Consideration Price Per Share issued pursuant to this Agreement to Scouted or transferred to any Recruiter Indemnitors under a Joinder Agreement executed by Scouted and each Scouted Indemnitor, the form of which is attached as Exhibit H (the “Joinder Agreement”). Under the Joinder Agreement, Scouted shall transfer the Recruiter Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement to each Scouted Indemnitor who shall agree to indemnify Newco and Recruiter in accordance with the terms of Section 8.02 hereof on a pro rata basis based on a fraction in which the numerator is the number of shares of Recruiter Common Stock transferred to such Scouted Indemnitor and the denominator is the number of shares of Recruiter Common Stock issued under this Agreement. For clarification, assuming $100,000 of Losses and 10 recipients of the Recruiter Common Stock issued under this Agreement (including the Scouted Indemnitors), each of whom received 10% of such Recruiter Common Stock, under the Joinder Agreement each such Person shall be liable for up to $10,000 of such Losses based on the Share Consideration Price Per Share of the Recruiter Common Stock received by such Person. Each of Recruiter and Newco agree to enforce the indemnification provisions contained herein in a manner that is consistent with such Joinder Agreement.

(d) Each Indemnified Party must act promptly to avoid or mitigate any Losses which it or any other Indemnified Party may suffer in consequence of any fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement or likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover under this Agreement to the extent of any Losses that could have been avoided but for the Indemnified Party’s failure to avoid or mitigate such Losses.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 10 days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend or appeal any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived; the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Scouted, on the one hand, and Recruiter and Newco, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party also be liable for local counsel selected at the request of the Indemnified Party. If indemnification is sought against Scouted or the Scouted Indemnitors, the Scouted Representative may direct the control of the Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a) (including, without limitation, where the Indemnified Party is defending pursuant to Section 8.05(a)), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Scouted’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Payments.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII by a non-appealable judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 8.02 shall be satisfied, at the election of the Scouted Indemnitors, against the Share Consideration, based on the Share Consideration Price Per Share, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors to an account designated in writing by the Recruiter Indemnitee. Indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 8.03 shall be satisfied by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Recruiter Indemnifying Party to an account designated in writing by the Scouted Representative.

(b) Any amount payable by Scouted to a Recruiter Indemnitee with respect to a Loss shall be reduced by the amount of any net insurance proceeds (i.e., insurance payments less deductible and premiums, including the amount of any increase in future premiums assessed under such policies of insurance) actually received by the Recruiter Indemnitee with respect to the Loss, and Recruiter and Newco agree to use their reasonable best efforts to collect any insurance proceeds to which Recruiter and/or Newco may be entitled in respect of any Loss.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Exclusive Remedy. Commencing on the Closing Date, this Article VIII shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement except as a result of fraud by an Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Article VIII shall prevent any party from seeking equitable remedies (including specific performance and injunctive relief).

Section 8.09 Scouted Representative.

(a) Scouted and the Scouted Stakeholders hereby appoint Jacqueline Loeb, in her capacity as the Scouted Representative, as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of Scouted and the Scouted Stakeholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and initiate actions and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and initiate actions and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against Scouted or any Scouted Stakeholder or by Scouted or any such Scouted Stakeholder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and Scouted or any such Scouted Stakeholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, to execute any and all agreements and certificates contemplated by this Agreement, and to take all other actions that are necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Scouted Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. No bond shall be required of the Scouted Representative, and the Scouted Representative shall not receive any compensation for her services.

(b) The Scouted Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Scouted Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, even though such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Scouted Representative. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Section 8.09(b) shall in any way impact any Liability that the Scouted Representative may have in her capacity as a stockholder of Scouted. The Scouted Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Scouted Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Scouted Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Scouted Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Scouted Stakeholders shall indemnify the Scouted Representative and hold the Scouted Representative harmless against any Losses incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Scouted Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Scouted Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other professionals and advisors retained by the Scouted Representative (“Scouted Representative Expenses”). Following Closing, the Scouted Representative shall have the right to recover Scouted Representative Expenses from any deferred payments in accordance with the terms hereof prior to any distribution to any Scouted Stakeholder, and prior to any such distribution. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Scouted Representative, including an amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of Scouted and the Scouted Stakeholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Scouted and the Stakeholders.

(c) Release of Holdback Shares. Within five (5) business days after the Expiration Date, Recruiter shall release the remaining Holdback Shares to Scouted.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 10.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Ancillary Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Recruiter, Newco, and Scouted at any time prior to the Closing. Any failure of Recruiter or Newco, on the one hand, or Scouted, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by Scouted (with respect to any failure by Recruiter or Newco) or by Recruiter or Newco (with respect to any failure by Scouted), respectively, only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and all matters related to the transactions contemplated herein shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction).

(b) Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each Party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (A) no representative of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (B) such Party has considered the implications of this waiver, (C) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (D) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.10(c).

(d) Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, without having to plead or prove irreparable harm or lack of adequate remedy at law and without having to post a bond or other security.

(e) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any Party institutes any legal suit, action, or proceeding against the other party(ies) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereunder, the prevailing Party in the suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such Party in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
