	8.1.1
	Subject to Clause 8.2, the Seller warrants to the Purchaser in the terms set out in Schedule 5 as at the date of this Agreement and warrants such terms as at the Closing Date as if such warranties had been repeated at Closing (and any reference made to the date of this Agreement (whether express or implied) within or in relation to any Seller’s Warranty shall be construed, in relation to any such repetition, as a reference to Closing), by reference to the facts, matters or circumstances then subsisting (other than any matters approved by the Purchaser pursuant to, or permitted by, Clause 5).

		
	8.1.2
	The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the Seller’s Warranties.

		
	8.1.3

	Any Seller’s Warranty qualified by the expression “to the best of the Seller’s knowledge” or any similar expression shall, unless otherwise stated, be deemed to refer to the knowledge of Dror Niv, Robert Lande, Siju Daniel, Ashley Chun, Paul Saake, Michael Buzzeo, Ryan Leonard, Jared Velez, John O’Neil and Olga Monico, in each case as at the date two Business Days before the relevant Seller’s Warranty is given pursuant to this Agreement (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such person becomes aware of any matter between the date of this Agreement and Closing, he or she shall not be deemed to be aware of such matter at the date hereof), who shall be deemed to have knowledge of such matters as they would have discovered, had they made due and careful enquiries. 

		
	8.1.5
	The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement it has relied only on the Seller’s Warranties and that it shall have no right or remedy in respect of any representation, warranty, promise or assurance (made by any person whether or not a party to this Agreement) which is not included in the Seller’s Warranties other than a fraudulent representation.

		
	8.1.6
	The Seller is under no obligation to disclose to the Purchaser anything which is or may constitute a breach of or be inconsistent with any of the Seller’s Warranties of which it may become aware after Closing.

		
	8.1.7
	The provisions of Clause 9 shall limit the liability of the Seller in relation to any Warranty Claim and Tax Warranty Claim and, where applicable, any Claim.

	8.3
	Notification

		
	8.3.1
	If, after the signing of this Agreement:

		
	(i)
	the Seller becomes aware that any of the Seller’s Warranties was untrue, inaccurate or misleading as of the signing of this Agreement; or

		
	(ii)
	any event occurs or matter arises of which the Seller becomes aware which results or may result in any of the Seller’s Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or misleading at Closing, had the Seller’s Warranties been repeated on Closing,

the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing as soon as practicable and in any event prior to Closing setting out full details of the matter and the Seller shall make any investigation concerning the event or matter and take such action, at its own cost, as the Purchaser may reasonably require.
		
	8.3.2
	Any notification pursuant to Clause 8.3.1 shall not operate as a disclosure pursuant to Clause 8.2 of this Agreement and the Seller’s Warranties shall not be subject to such notification.

		
	8.4
	The Seller’s Waiver of Rights against Relevant Employees

Save in the case of fraud, wilful misconduct, wilful concealment or gross negligence, the Seller undertakes to the Purchaser and to the Relevant Employees to waive any rights, remedies or claims which it may have in respect of any innocent misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission in or from any information or advice supplied or given by any Relevant Employee in connection with assisting the Seller in the giving of any Seller’s Warranty or the preparation of the Disclosure Letter.
		
	8.5
	Effect of Closing

The Seller’s Warranties and all other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they have not been performed by Closing, shall not be extinguished or affected by Closing or by any other event or matter, except by a specific and duly authorised written waiver or release by the Purchaser.

	Limitation of Seller’s Liability

		
	9.1
	Time Limitation for Claims

	in the case of any Claim (other than a Warranty Claim and a Tax Warranty Claim), without limit in time;

		
	(ii)
	in the case of any Tax Warranty Claim, within 7 years following Closing; and

		
	(iii)
	in the case of any Warranty Claim, within 24 months following Closing.

	Subject to Clause 9.1.3, where notice has been given in respect of any claim for breach of Seller’s Warranty (other than in respect of a claim for breach of a Fundamental Warranty) in accordance with Clause 9.1.1, any such claim shall be deemed to have been irrevocably withdrawn and lapsed unless:

		
	(i)
	proceedings in respect of any such claim have been issued and served on the Seller not later than the expiry of the period of 6 months after the date of that notice; or

		
	(ii)
	any such claim is satisfied, settled or withdrawn before that date.

		
	9.1.3
	If any claim for breach of Seller’s Warranty (other than a claim for breach of a Fundamental Warranty) arises by reason of a Liability that is future, contingent and/or unquantifiable:

		
	(i)
	the Seller shall not be under any obligation to make any payment for any such claim until such time as that Liability becomes an actual Liability, or is capable of being quantified, provided that this shall not prevent the Purchaser from serving notice and commencing proceedings in respect of any such claim; and

		
	(ii)
	if any such claim has been notified to the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Clause 9.1.1, the 6 month period referred to in Clause 9.1.2 shall be deemed to commence on the date on which the relevant Liability ceases to be contingent or becomes quantifiable (as the case may be).

Nothing in this Clause 9.1.3 shall operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a future, contingent and/or unquantifiable Liability within the time limit specified in Clause 9.1 and specifying the matters set out in Clause 10.1.
		
	9.1.4
	Save as expressly provided otherwise, each limitation on the Seller’s Liability in this Agreement shall be read and construed without prejudice to each of the other provisions relating to the same.

	9.2.2

	Aggregate Minimum Claims

		
	9.3.1
	The Seller shall not be liable for breach of any Seller’s Warranty (other than a Fundamental Warranty) in respect of any claim unless the aggregate amount of all claims for which the Seller would otherwise be liable for breach of any Seller’s Warranty (other than a Fundamental Warranty) (disregarding the provisions of this Clause 9.3) exceeds US$400,000. 

		
	9.3.2
	Where the Liability agreed or determined in respect of all claims referred to in Clause 9.3.1 exceeds US$400,000 subject as provided elsewhere in this Clause 9, the Seller shall be liable for the aggregate amount of all claims as agreed or determined and not just the excess.

		
	9.4

	9.5
	Matters Arising Subsequent to this Agreement

The Seller shall not be liable for any Claim whatsoever if and to the extent that such Liability:

	9.5.2
	arises or is increased as a result of any act, omission or transaction of the Purchaser’s Group or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents or successors in title after Closing;

		
	9.5.3

	9.7
	Mitigation of Losses

Notwithstanding any right of mitigation which may arise in law or in equity, the Purchaser shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken and all reasonable assistance is given to avoid or mitigate any Losses which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to a Liability in respect of any claim for breach of any Seller’s Warranty.
		
	9.8
	Fraud 

None of the limitations contained in this Clause 9 shall apply to any claim which arises or is increased, or to the extent to which it arises or is increased, as the consequence of, or which is delayed as a result of fraud, wilful misconduct or wilful concealment by the Seller or any of its directors, officers or employees.
		
	9.9

	9.9.1
	Where the Purchaser has recovered any payment from a third party (other than another member of the Purchaser’s Group) for any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to a Claim:

		
	(i)
	if the Seller has not by that time made any payment to the Purchaser in respect of any such Claim, the amount payable by the Seller in respect of any such Claim shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum recovered by the Purchaser from the relevant third party, after deducting the costs and expenses of recovering it and any Tax payable by the Purchaser (or which would have been payable by the Purchaser but for the availability of any Tax relief) as a result of receiving such sum (a “Net Sum Recovered”); or

		
	(ii)
	if the Seller has already made a payment in respect of any such Claim, the Purchaser shall repay to the Seller an amount equal to the lesser of that payment and the Net Sum Recovered.

	9.11
	Recovery for Actual Liabilities

No member of the Seller’s Group shall be liable to pay any amount in discharge of a claim under this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement unless and until the Liability in respect of which the claim is made has become due and payable but this Clause shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a contingent liability within the time limit specified in Clause 9.1 and specifying the matters set out in Clause 10.1.
		
	9.12
	Straddle Period Allocation

Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be (a) in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis (and not based on income, receipts, invoices, sales or payments), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (b) in the cases of Taxes not described in sub-clause (a), deemed to equal the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended, and the books closed, at the close of the Closing Date.
		
	9.13
	Characterisation of Payments

Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payments made to any party pursuant to this Clause 9) shall constitute an adjustment to the consideration paid for the Business Assets for Tax purposes and shall be reported as such by the Purchaser and the Seller on their Tax returns, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

	10.3.1
	regularly consult with the Seller in relation to the Third Party Proceeding; 

		
	10.3.2
	upon reasonable request by the Seller disclose in writing to the Seller all information and documents relating to the Third Party Proceeding or matters which will or are likely to give rise to a Third Party Proceeding, and if requested by the Seller, give the Seller and its professional advisers reasonable access at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to the personnel of the Purchaser and to any relevant premises, documents and records under the power, possession or control of the Purchaser to enable the Seller and its professional advisers to interview such personnel, and to examine such claim, premises, documents and records and to take copies thereof at their own expense; and

	11.1.2
	directly advertise with, receive leads or accept customers from any third party that publishes publicly accessible foreign exchange and CFD-related original research and analysis, in each case only where and to the extent that such restricted activity is on the basis of an exclusive contractual arrangement with the relevant party or in circumstances where (A) any such restricted advertisements take up more than 50 per cent. of the available advertising space on the relevant form of media used by the relevant third party and (B) the Purchaser or any other relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group has been refused any available advertising space on such form of media by such third party when offered commercially reasonable terms because of such third party’s relationship with any member of the Restricted Group; or

		
	11.1.3
	directly or indirectly, induce or seek to induce any Restricted Employee to become employed whether as employee, consultant or otherwise by any member of the Restricted Group, whether or not such Restricted Employee would thereby commit a breach of his or her contract of service. The placing of an advertisement of a post available to the public generally and the recruitment of a person through an employment agency shall not constitute a breach of this Clause 11 provided that neither the Seller nor any other member of the Restricted Group encourages or advises such agency to approach any Restricted Employee.

		
	11.2

	11.2.3
	making available any prices, indicators, tools, widgets and graphics (in each case whether proprietary to any member of the Restricted Group or otherwise) through any web property owned by any member of the Restricted Group or through any of the trading platforms used by any member of the Restricted Group;

		
	11.2.4
	publishing educational training material (being material that is evergreen (i.e., not time sensitive and which does not become invalid over time) and which is predicated on market conditions at a point in time and whether produced by any member of the Restricted Group or otherwise);

		
	11.2.5
	publishing original research and analysis limited to commentary on interactive forums, tools or charts (in each case whether proprietary to any member of the Restricted Group or otherwise and including but not limited to Trading View Charts or any similar successor or replacement charts in the form of Trading View Charts) posted on any web property owned by any member of the Restricted Group or on any of the trading platforms used by any member of the Restricted Group provided that such commentary: (i) shall not be syndicated and/or offered on non-interactive forums such as television and radio; and (ii) (in the case of each such commentary provided by a member of the Restricted Group only) shall be limited to an initial post not to exceed 500 words and follow-on posts of 200 words or less which are directed at comments in the discussion thread from third parties;

	11.2.7
	publicly promoting any of the non-publicly accessible foreign exchange and CFD-related original research and analysis described in Clause 11.2.6 provided that such promotion shall be restricted to an appropriately captioned hypertext link that will not directly connect to the foreign exchange and CFD-related original research or analysis and provided also that such foreign exchange and CFD-related original research and analysis is only accessible through the use of a username and password which is provided exclusively by the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group.

		
	11.3
	Reasonableness of Restrictions

The Seller agrees that the restrictions contained in Clause 11.2 are no greater than is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the interests of the Purchaser but, if any such restriction shall be held to be void but would be valid if deleted in part or reduced in application, such restriction shall apply with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

	1.1.1
	The parties acknowledge that the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group has offered to enter into an individualised Employee Transfer Agreement (in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B) with the Germany-based Relevant Employee, which shall implement and regulate the mutual termination of employment with the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group and the entry into of a new employment relationship with the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group, respectively.

		
	1.1.2
	Upon Closing, the individualised Employee Transfer Agreement referred to in paragraph 1.1.1 shall become effective, and the Germany-based Relevant Employee’s employment with the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group shall terminate pursuant to the terms of the individualised Employee Transfer Agreement. 

		
	1.2
	Transfer of U.S.-based Relevant Employees

		
	1.2.1

	Upon Closing, the terms of the Offer Letters referred to in paragraph 1.2.1 shall become effective and the Seller shall immediately release, or procure that the relevant member of the Seller’s Group immediately releases, each U.S.-based Relevant Employee from their employment.

		
	1.3
	Transfer of U.S.-based Delayed Employee

		
	1.3.1
	The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate to obtain the appropriate U.S. visa to permit the U.S.-based Delayed Employee to work in the United States for the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group (the “U.S. Visa”).

		
	1.3.2
	The parties acknowledge that the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group has issued an Offer Letter to the U.S.-based Delayed Employee, that the employment of the U.S.-delayed Employee is conditional on the U.S.-delayed Employee being granted the U.S. Visa, and that the U.S.-based Delayed Employee has accepted the terms of the Offer Letter.

		
	1.3.3
	Upon the U.S.-delayed Employee being granted the U.S. Visa, the terms of the Offer Letter referred to in paragraph 1.3.2 shall become effective and the Seller shall immediately release, or procure that the relevant member of the Seller’s Group immediately releases, the U.S.-based Delayed Employee from her employment.

		
	1.3.4
	For the avoidance of any doubt, between Closing and the date on which the U.S.-based Delayed Employee’s employment with the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group becomes effective pursuant to paragraph 1.3.3, the U.S.-based Delayed Employee shall remain an employee at will of the relevant member of the Seller’s Group, and shall provide services to the Purchaser’s Group under the Transitional Services Agreement. 

		
	1.3.5

	(i)
	shall prohibit the relevant member of the Seller’s Group from lawfully terminating for Cause the U.S.-based Delayed Employee’s employment at any time prior to the U.S.-based Delayed Employee’s employment with the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group becoming effective pursuant to paragraph 1.3.3;

	1.3.7
	For the purposes of this Schedule 2, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as in any applicable severance plan or policy of the Seller or, if there is no such plan or policy, any act or omission constituting gross misconduct.

	1.4.1
	The parties acknowledge that the Purchaser’s Group has sent a “letter of intent” to each China-based Relevant Employee.

		
	1.4.2
	Upon China Newco becoming permitted to lawfully employ the China-based Relevant Employees, China Newco will make offers of employment to each of the China-based Relevant Employees still employed by the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group.

Any requirement under applicable local law for the payment of severance pay (“economic compensation”) to any such China-based Relevant Employee for the period from and including the date on which such China-based Relevant Employee’s employment with China Newco becomes effective to and including the date falling 30 days thereafter shall be borne by the Seller and thereafter by the Purchaser.

	1.4.3
	For the avoidance of any doubt, between Closing and the date on which the China-based Relevant Employees’ employment with China Newco becomes effective (being no later than six months from Closing) pursuant to paragraph 1.4.2, the China-based Relevant Employees shall remain employees of the relevant member of the Seller’s Group, and shall provide services to the Purchaser’s Group under the Transitional Services Agreement.

		
	1.4.4

	2.2
	If the German-based Relevant Employee does not sign an Employment Transfer Agreement prior to Closing (or if before Closing the German-based Relevant Employee or any Additional French Employee terminates an Employment Transfer Agreement which he has previously signed), and he alleges that as a result (whether directly or indirectly) of the sale of the Business Assets pursuant to this Agreement, his contract of employment, or any Liability in connection with his employment or its termination, has transferred to the Purchaser, or to an agent or contractor of the Purchaser, pursuant to applicable local laws, he shall be treated as an Undisclosed Employee for the purposes of paragraph 2.1 above. 

		
	2.3
	The Purchaser, the agent or the contractor may terminate the employment of such Undisclosed Employee within 15 Business Days from the date the Notice is given and must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice to the Seller of the same, and the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser on behalf of itself, its agent or its contractor on an ongoing basis against all Employment Losses which the Purchaser or its agent or contractor incurs in relation to such Undisclosed Employee, whether such Employment Losses relate to a period before or after the Closing Date, including any Employment Losses arising from the termination of the employment of such an Undisclosed Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser, the agent or the contractor do not terminate the employment of such Undisclosed Employee within 15 Business Days from the date the Notice is given, the Seller shall not be obliged to indemnify the Purchaser on behalf of itself, its agent or its contractor on an ongoing basis against any Employment Losses which the Purchaser or its agent or its contractor incurs in relation to such Undisclosed Employee from and after the expiry of such 15-Business Day period.

		
	2.4
	From the date on which the Relevant Employees’ employment with the Purchaser, relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group or China Newco (as the case may be) becomes effective pursuant to paragraph 1 above, the Purchaser will perform and discharge all of its obligations in respect of the Relevant Employees relating to their employment with the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group, subject, in respect of the Germany-based Relevant Employee and any Additional French Employees, to the entry into of the Employee Transfer Agreement by the Germany-based Relevant Employee and any Additional French Employees and the Seller (or relevant member of the Seller’s Group), and the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller accordingly.

		
	2.5
	Subject to paragraph 2.4, the Seller will perform and discharge, and shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller’s Group performs and discharges, all of its obligations in respect of the Relevant Employees relating to their employment with or termination of employment by the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group, including, without limitation, responsibility for all Employment Losses arising from or relating to such employment or its termination, and the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser accordingly.

		
	3
	Conduct of Employment Claims

		
	3.1
	If either party becomes aware of any matter that might give rise to it (the “Beneficiary”) having a claim under an indemnity set out in this Schedule against the other party (the “Covenantor”), the following provisions apply:

		
	3.1.1
	the Beneficiary will immediately give written notice to the Covenantor of the matter in respect of which the indemnity is being claimed (stating in reasonable detail the nature of the matter and, so far as practicable, the amount claimed) and will consult with the Covenantor with respect to the matter. If the matter has become the subject of any proceedings, the Beneficiary will give notice within sufficient time to enable the Covenantor to contest the proceedings before any first instance judgment in respect of such proceedings is given; and

		
	3.1.2
	the Beneficiary will:

		
	(i)
	take such action and institute such proceedings, and give such information and assistance, as the Covenantor or its insurers may reasonably request to dispute, resist, appeal, compromise, defend, remedy or mitigate the matter or enforce against any person (other than the Covenantor) the rights of the Beneficiary or its insurers in relation to the matter;

		
	(ii)
	in connection with any proceedings related to the matter (other than against the Covenantor), use professional advisers nominated by the Covenantor or if its insurers so request, allow the Covenantor or its insurers the exclusive conduct of the proceedings in each case on the basis that the Covenantor will fully indemnify the Beneficiary for all costs incurred as a result of any request or nomination by the Covenantor or its insurers and provided that the Covenantor shall take into account in the conduct of the proceedings any reasonable concern of the Beneficiary which is notified to the Covenantor by the Beneficiary provided that the Covenantor shall provide reports to the Beneficiary upon reasonable request relating to the material aspects of any claim including, where requested by the Beneficiary, such additional information and documentation as may be required; and

	3.2
	The indemnities given by the Covenantor in this Schedule are without prejudice (but not so as to enable any double recovery) to any rights which any Beneficiary may have at law or otherwise including, but not limited to, any right of contribution.

Gemäß eines zwischen der FX Publications, Inc. (der „Käufer“) und der Forex Capital Markets L.L.C. (der „Verkäufer“) geschlossenen Asset Purchase Agreements (das „APA”) hat der Verkäufer zugestimmt, das Betriebsvermögen der auf den Devisenmarkt spezialisierten und vom Verkäufer weltweit betriebenen Website, die dem Verkäufer gehört und die unter dem Namen DailyFX firmiert und die Nachrichten, Marktanalysen und technische Analysen in allen großen Devisenmärkten zur Verfügung stellt, zu verkaufen und der Käufer hat zugestimmt, selbiges zu kaufen. Aus diesem Grund soll das Arbeitsverhältnis des Arbeitnehmers einvernehmlich von Forex auf die Gesellschaft übergehen, weshalb die Parteien Folgendes vereinbaren:

Therefore, the Employee is to mutually transfer to the Company from Forex, and the Parties agree the following:

	2.2    The Company hereby acknowledges all prior years of service of the Employee with Forex for any entitlements depending on such years of service (without duplication of coverage or benefits, and excluding pension benefits, and retiree medical or retiree life insurance, if any). For all further purposes, the date following the expiry of the Termination Date is the authoritative date when calculating length of service of the Employee with the Company.

	2.3    Der Arbeitnehmer und die Gesellschaft sind sich darüber einig, dass die Bedingungen des Arbeitsverhältnisses in einem neuen Arbeitsvertrag festgelegt werden, der zwischen dem Arbeitnehmer und der Gesellschaft vor dem Beendigungsdatum geschlossen wird und der in Übereinstimmung mit Ziffer 2.1 dieser Vereinbarung über den Übergang des Arbeitsverhältnisses in Kraft tritt.

Anstelle der unwirksamen Bestimmung werden die Parteien eine wirksame Bestimmung vereinbaren, die dem Sinn und Zweck der unwirksamen Bestimmung am nächsten kommt. Das gilt auch dann, wenn die Unwirksamkeit der Bestimmung auf einem Maß der Leistung oder der Zeit beruht; es gilt dann das rechtlich zulässige Maß.
	 
	4.3    If any provision of this Transfer of Employment Agreement is or becomes in total or in part ineffective, the effectiveness of the other provisions is not affected thereby. The Parties will agree to replace any ineffective provisions by an effective provision which corresponds as closely as possible to the intention and purpose of the ineffective provision.
