6.2 Indemnification by Seller and Owner. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and Owner jointly and severally will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer, and its officers and members (each a “Buyer Indemnitee”), from and against any claims, demands, suits, proceedings, judgments, losses, liabilities, damages, taxes, costs, and expenses of every kind and nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) that a Buyer Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:
(a) any violation, contravention or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Seller or Owner pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) any inaccuracy, breach, or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty of the Seller or Owner contained in this Agreement;
(c) fraud or willful misrepresentation by Seller or Owner in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
(d) all Excluded Liabilities; and/or
(e) the conduct of the Business or ownership or use of the Acquired Assets prior to the Closing Date.
6.3 Notice of Matters Involving Third Parties. Promptly after receipt by a Buyer Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any claim by a third party against it, such Buyer Indemnitee will give prompt notice to Seller and Owner (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Buyer Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such proceeding is materially prejudiced by the Buyer Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice.

6.4 Defense of Matters Involving Third Parties. If any such claim is brought against an Buyer Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such third-party claim and, to the extent that it desires, to assume the defense of such third-party claim with counsel satisfactory to the Buyer Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such third-party claim and the Buyer Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Buyer Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such third-party claim and provide indemnification with respect to such third-party claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Buyer Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Buyer Indemnitee for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such third-party claim that are subsequently incurred by the Buyer Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such third-party claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party claim: (i) it will be deemed for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that third-party claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without Buyer Indemnitee’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of laws or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Buyer Indemnitee, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (C) the Buyer Indemnitee is fully released from such claim; and (iii) the Buyer Indemnitee will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
6.5 Direct Claims. Any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for Losses which do not result from third party claims shall be asserted by the Buyer Indemnitee giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. 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 forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Buyer Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Buyer Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
6.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as and adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes to the fullest extent permitted by law.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Onfolio Holdings Inc. to Acquire Contentellect Business, a Leading Provider of Content Writing and Link Building Services
WILMINGTON, Delaware, January 17, 2023 -- Onfolio Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ONFO, ONFOW) (the “Company” or “Onfolio”), a holding company that acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of online businesses across a broad range of verticals, today announced that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Contentellect Limited (“Contentellect”) to acquire substantially all its business assets for a purchase price of $850,000 of cash at closing. The transaction is expected to close in next two weeks.
Contentellect was launched in 2018 and began as a specialist content writing service for software-as-a-service companies. Today, Contentellect helps small-and medium-sized businesses scale their content with blog writing, link building, and more. The service offering consists of copywriting and outreach services such as content writing services, website link building services, social media marketing services and virtual assistant services to individuals, businesses and agencies. The content created helps customers by improving organic traffic via search engines, enables them to conduct thought-leadership, and gives sales and marketing teams relevant and usable content at the top and middle of the marketing funnel. Contentellect reported $342,000 of adjusted EBITDA in 2022 (on an unaudited basis).
“Contentellect brings to Onfolio another strong, compelling and diverse business to add to our portfolio,” said Dominic Wells, CEO of Onfolio. “Contentellect’s unique ability to serve its clients as a full SEO service fits into our existing businesses and further supplements our other SEO service providers. We continue to advance our strategy of acquiring niche, profitable online businesses, and we welcome the Contentellect team to Onfolio.”
Mr. Wells continued, “Our pipeline of M&A target opportunities remains robust, and we continue to believe there are ample opportunities ahead. Our team’s ability to discover and operate digital businesses while growing cash flows consistently has allowed us to execute on our strategy set forth with our entrance into the public markets. We believe the acquisition in Contentellect continues to offer investors an attractive opportunity to diversify risk and further positions Onfolio for long-term growth and value creation.”
A Form 8-K relating to the Contentellect transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 17, 2023 and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Onfolio Holdings Inc.
Onfolio acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of online businesses across a broad range of verticals, each with a niche content focus and brand identity. Onfolio acquires businesses that meet its investment criteria, being that such businesses operate in sectors with long-term growth opportunities, have positive and stable cash flows, face minimal threats of technological or competitive obsolescence and can be managed by our existing team or have strong management teams largely in place. The Company excels at finding acquisition opportunities where the seller has not fully optimized their business, and Onfolio’s experience and skillset allows it to add increased value to these existing businesses.
