| 2.10 | Set-Off Mechanics; No Double Payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the payment structure contemplated by the Financing Documents permits satisfaction of Seller’s loan obligations through transfer of specified assets, including the Acquired Assets. The application of the Purchase Price Credit under this Agreement is intended to be, and will be treated as, a satisfaction-in-kind and set-off against the Outstanding Loan Balance under the Convertible Loan Agreement. No Party will be required to make duplicative payments in respect of amounts credited pursuant to this Section 2.10. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement amends the Financing Documents except to the limited extent necessary to give effect to the set-off of the Purchase Price Credit, and each of the Financing Documents shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. | |

| IX. | GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION | |
| 9.1 | Governing Law; FAA. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions it contemplates (including any question regarding formation, existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or any non-contractual claim), is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules that would mandate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section. | |
| 9.2 | Agreement to Arbitrate; Rules. Any dispute, claim or controversy described in Section 9.1 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association (“ICDR”) in accordance with the ICDR International Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “ICDR Rules”), which are incorporated by reference, except as modified herein. | |
| 9.3 | Seat; Language; Tribunal. The seat (legal place) of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A. The language of the arbitration is English. The tribunal will consist of three (3) arbitrators. Each side will appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators will appoint the presiding arbitrator in accordance with the ICDR Rules. The arbitral tribunal has the authority to determine its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the arbitration agreement. | |
| 9.4 | Emergency and Interim Measures. The parties agree to the emergency measures provisions of the ICDR Rules. The tribunal may grant any interim, conservatory or injunctive relief it deems appropriate. Seeking or obtaining interim, provisional or conservatory measures from a court of competent jurisdiction (including courts in Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction) is permitted and is not incompatible with this Section or a waiver of arbitration. |
| 9.5 | Confidentiality. The arbitration, including its existence, submissions, orders, hearings, evidence and award, is confidential and may not be disclosed by any party except to the extent necessary to enforce or challenge an award, to comply with applicable Law, regulatory or stock exchange requirements, or to auditors, insurers, financing sources and professional advisors who are bound to maintain confidentiality. | |
| 9.6 | Award; Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The tribunal’s award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For the limited purposes of (i) compelling arbitration, (ii) seeking interim or provisional relief, or (iii) confirming, recognizing, enforcing or challenging an award, each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction. | |
| 9.7 | Costs and Fees; Interest. The tribunal may award costs, fees and expenses (including the parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) to the prevailing party to the extent it deems appropriate, and may award pre- and post-award interest at a commercially reasonable rate. | |
| 9.8 | Consolidation and Joinder. To the extent permitted by the ICDR Rules, the tribunal (or the ICDR, as applicable) may order consolidation of related arbitrations and/or the joinder of additional parties whose rights or obligations arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that no party is prejudiced thereby. | |
| 9.9 | Specific Performance. In addition to any damages or other relief, the tribunal may order specific performance or other equitable relief. Nothing in this Section limits a party’s right to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as set out in Section 9.4. | |
| 9.10 | Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent any dispute is determined by a court to be non-arbitrable, each party irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by Law. | |
| 9.11 | Prevailing Effect. This Section supersedes any inconsistent forum selection, governing law or jurisdiction provisions in this Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency. | |
| X. | TERMINATION | |
| 10.1 | Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: | |
| (a) | By the mutual written consent of the Parties; | |

| (c) | By the Seller, if there has been a material breach by the Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Buyer shall have become untrue; or | |

Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents listed on Schedule 3, and failure to obtain any consent will not be a breach of this Agreement. To the extent any consent is not obtained as of Closing, the affected Assigned Contract will be held by Seller in trust for the benefit of Buyer, with Seller enforcing rights and performing obligations thereunder for Buyer’s account (at Buyer’s expense) to the extent permitted, and the Parties will implement reasonable alternative arrangements (including subcontracting or back-to-back agreements) to provide Buyer the economic benefit and burden thereof until consent is obtained. Upon receipt of consent, the applicable Contract will be deemed assigned effective as of the Closing Date as between the Parties for economic purposes. | |

2.7.2 The completion of the transfers described in 2.7.1, as evidenced by written confirmation from Apple and Google that Buyer is listed as the sole developer and account holder for the app, shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close under Section 7.2.
2.7.3 If either Apple or Google rejects or refuses to complete the transfer process for any reason:
(a) The Parties shall not be obligated to close and either Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers, with no obligation to pay any portion of the Purchase Price and without further liability, except for provisions that expressly survive prior to Closing (including Sections 6.1 and 11.1);
(b) Alternatively, if Buyer elects in writing within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of such rejection, the Parties shall implement a transitional arrangement whereby Seller operates the affected app on behalf of Buyer under a transition services agreement for up to twelve (12) months while Buyer attempts to republish the app under Buyer’s developer account, with Buyer paying Seller a monthly fee to cover Seller’s reasonable documented costs as agreed by the Parties in the transition services agreement; provided that the transitional arrangement will end upon the earlier of (i) Buyer’s successful republication of the app under Buyer’s developer account or (ii) the end of such twelve (12)-month period, unless extended by mutual written agreement; and
(c) During any transitional period, Seller shall remit to Buyer one hundred percent (100%) of Net Revenues (defined as gross revenues less app store fees, refunds, chargebacks, and payment processing costs) within five (5) Business Days after receipt from the app store.

(g) Email and customer support systems;
(h) Source code repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.), including all commit history, branches, and documentation;
(i) Monitoring and logging systems; and
(j) Any other accounts, systems, or platforms listed on Schedule 1.
2.7.5 Where any account or license identified in subsection 2.7.4 is non-assignable or non-transferable:
(a) Seller shall provide Buyer with read and write access to such account or system for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days post-Closing to enable data migration and establishment of replacement accounts;
(b) During such period, Seller shall maintain such accounts in good standing, pay all fees and charges as they come due, and shall not terminate or materially modify such accounts without Buyer’s prior written consent;
(c) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to export data, configurations, and content from such accounts; and

Accounts receivable included in the Acquired Assets will be for the account of Buyer from and after the Closing irrespective of when invoiced or collected. If Seller receives any post-Closing payments related to the Acquired Assets or the TopReels Business, Seller will remit such amounts to Buyer within five (5) Business Days (net of any amounts clearly relating to pre-Closing refunds); and if Buyer receives any amounts clearly relating to pre-Closing refunds or chargebacks, Buyer will remit them to Seller within five (5) Business Days. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to reconcile app store remittances, refunds and chargebacks for the first two full calendar cycles following Closing. | |
| 2.9 | Transfer Taxes; VAT. Any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, sales, use, value added, goods and services or similar taxes imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by the Parties equally (50% by each Party). The Party responsible under Law will timely file all returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, and the other Party will reasonably cooperate. | |
| 2.10 | Set-Off Mechanics; No Double Payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the payment structure contemplated by the Financing Documents permits satisfaction of Seller’s loan obligations through transfer of specified assets, including the Acquired Assets. The application of the Purchase Price Credit under this Agreement is intended to be, and will be treated as, a satisfaction-in-kind and set-off against the Outstanding Loan Balance under the Convertible Loan Agreement. No Party will be required to make duplicative payments in respect of amounts credited pursuant to this Section 2.10. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement amends the Financing Documents except to the limited extent necessary to give effect to the set-off of the Purchase Price Credit, and each of the Financing Documents shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. |
| III. | CLOSING |

| (c) | the Assumed Liabilities. | |
| 8.3 | Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: | |

| (e) | in no event will any Party be liable for punitive, exemplary, special or consequential damages, lost profits or diminution in value, except to the extent actually awarded to a third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim. |

The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, describing the claim in reasonable detail; provided that failure to give prompt notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent it is materially prejudiced thereby.

| IX. | GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION |
| 9.1 | Governing Law; FAA. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions it contemplates (including any question regarding formation, existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or any non-contractual claim), is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules that would mandate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section. | |
| 9.2 | Agreement to Arbitrate; Rules. Any dispute, claim or controversy described in Section 9.1 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association (“ICDR”) in accordance with the ICDR International Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “ICDR Rules”), which are incorporated by reference, except as modified herein. | |
| 9.3 | Seat; Language; Tribunal. The seat (legal place) of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A. The language of the arbitration is English. The tribunal will consist of three (3) arbitrators. Each side will appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators will appoint the presiding arbitrator in accordance with the ICDR Rules. The arbitral tribunal has the authority to determine its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the arbitration agreement. | |
| 9.4 | Emergency and Interim Measures. The parties agree to the emergency measures provisions of the ICDR Rules. The tribunal may grant any interim, conservatory or injunctive relief it deems appropriate. Seeking or obtaining interim, provisional or conservatory measures from a court of competent jurisdiction (including courts in Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction) is permitted and is not incompatible with this Section or a waiver of arbitration. |
| 9.5 | Confidentiality. The arbitration, including its existence, submissions, orders, hearings, evidence and award, is confidential and may not be disclosed by any party except to the extent necessary to enforce or challenge an award, to comply with applicable Law, regulatory or stock exchange requirements, or to auditors, insurers, financing sources and professional advisors who are bound to maintain confidentiality. | |
| 9.6 | Award; Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The tribunal’s award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For the limited purposes of (i) compelling arbitration, (ii) seeking interim or provisional relief, or (iii) confirming, recognizing, enforcing or challenging an award, each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction. | |
| 9.7 | Costs and Fees; Interest. The tribunal may award costs, fees and expenses (including the parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) to the prevailing party to the extent it deems appropriate, and may award pre- and post-award interest at a commercially reasonable rate. | |
| 9.8 | Consolidation and Joinder. To the extent permitted by the ICDR Rules, the tribunal (or the ICDR, as applicable) may order consolidation of related arbitrations and/or the joinder of additional parties whose rights or obligations arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that no party is prejudiced thereby. | |
| 9.9 | Specific Performance. In addition to any damages or other relief, the tribunal may order specific performance or other equitable relief. Nothing in this Section limits a party’s right to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as set out in Section 9.4. | |
| 9.10 | Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent any dispute is determined by a court to be non-arbitrable, each party irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by Law. | |
| 9.11 | Prevailing Effect. This Section supersedes any inconsistent forum selection, governing law or jurisdiction provisions in this Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency. |

The tribunal may grant any interim, conservatory or injunctive relief it deems appropriate. Seeking or obtaining interim, provisional or conservatory measures from a court of competent jurisdiction (including courts in Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction) is permitted and is not incompatible with this Section or a waiver of arbitration. |
| 12.5 | Confidentiality. The arbitration, including its existence, submissions, orders, hearings, evidence and award, is confidential and may not be disclosed by any party except to the extent necessary to enforce or challenge an award, to comply with applicable Law, regulatory or stock exchange requirements, or to auditors, insurers, financing sources and professional advisors who are bound to maintain confidentiality. |
| 10 |
| 12.6 | Award; Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The tribunal’s award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For the limited purposes of (i) compelling arbitration, (ii) seeking interim or provisional relief, or (iii) confirming, recognizing, enforcing or challenging an award, each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction. |
| 12.7 | Costs and Fees; Interest. The tribunal may award costs, fees and expenses (including the parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) to the prevailing party to the extent it deems appropriate, and may award pre- and post-award interest at a commercially reasonable rate. |
| 12.8 | Consolidation and Joinder. To the extent permitted by the ICDR Rules, the tribunal (or the ICDR, as applicable) may order consolidation of related arbitrations and/or the joinder of additional parties whose rights or obligations arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that no party is prejudiced thereby. |
| 12.9 | Specific Performance. In addition to any damages or other relief, the tribunal may order specific performance or other equitable relief. Nothing in this Section limits a party’s right to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as set out in Section 12.4. |
| 12.10 | Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent any dispute is determined by a court to be non-arbitrable, each party irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by Law. |
| 12.11 | Prevailing Effect. This Section supersedes any inconsistent forum selection, governing law or jurisdiction provisions in this Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency. |
| 13 | MISCELLANEOUS |
| 13.1 | Expenses. Each Party will bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. |
| 13.2 | Public Announcements. No Party will issue any press release or public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions without the other Party’s prior written consent, except as required by Law (and then, to the extent practicable, after consulting with the other Party). |
| 13.3 | Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by email to the addresses set forth below (or to such other address as a Party may designate by notice).
