 This Key Employee Retention Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Scott VanDeVelde (the
“Employee”) and Gator.com Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effective as of March 24, 2000. 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 5 below) of the Company. 
  
 B. The Board believes that it
is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide the Employee with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to motivate the Employee to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit

  
 C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the
Employee with certain benefits upon a Change of Control that provide 
  
 D. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 5 below. 
  
 The parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason prior to a Change of Control, or (b) the date that all obligations of the parties hereto with
respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. 
  
 2. AT-WILL
EMPLOYMENT. The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason prior to a Change of
Control, Employee shall not be entitled to the benefits provided by this Agreement, or any other benefit unless otherwise available in accordance with the Company’s established employee plans and practices or pursuant to other agreements
with the Company.

 3. SEPARATION BENEFITS UPON INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE OF CONTROL. If within one
year of the effective date of a Change of Control, the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated (an “Involuntary Termination”) by the Company or the successor corporation without Cause or, by the Employee as the result of
a Constructive Termination by the Company or the successor corporation, then, subject to the limitations in this Section 3 and Section 4 below, the vesting of 25% of Employee’s then unvested shares of the Company’s common stock shall
automatically be accelerated so as to become vested as of the effective date of the Involuntary Termination or Constructive Termination. 
  
 4. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS. In the event that the separation benefits “Benefits”) provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
payable to the Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 19 6, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) but for this Section 4, would be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of state income tax la then the Employee’s Benefits under Section 3 shall be either. 
  
 (a) delivered in full, or 
  
 (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Benefits being subject to
excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee on an
after-tax-basis, of the greater amount of Benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this Section 4 shall be made in writing by the Accountants, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall
furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section 4. In event that subsection (a) above applies, then Employee shall be responsible for any excise taxes imposed with respect to such severance and other benefits. In the event that subsection (b) above
applies, then each benefit provided hereunder shall be proportionately reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of such excise taxes.
