6. Term and Termination.  The initial term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until the date which is one (1) year thereafter (the “Initial Term”).  After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless terminated in accordance with the provisions below:

	
A.  

	
This Agreement may be terminated by either Party at any time if:

	
i.  

	
the other Party materially breaches any its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach (if the breach is reasonably susceptible to cure) to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice thereof from the non-breaching Party; or

	
ii.  

	
the other Party becomes the subject of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, attachment, or assignment or composition for the benefit of creditors.

	
B.  

	
This Agreement may be terminated by TI or SearchCore during the sixty (60) day period following the Initial Term or any Renewal Term if the applicable Annual Designated Gross Revenue goal set forth in Exhibit A for the prior one (1) year term has not been met.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if SearchCore fails to meet the Annual Designated Gross Revenue goal set forth on Exhibit A for the Initial Term, SearchCore shall have the right to continue the term of this Agreement by paying to TI, within sixty (60) days of the end of the Initial Term, an amount in cash equal to the difference between the Annual Designated Revenue Goal and the  actual advertising revenue.  In the event of a termination by SearchCore pursuant to this subsection, SearchCore agrees that, for a period of one (1) year following the date of termination, it will not engage in the marketing and promotion of any tattoo related websites.

7. Revenue Sharing.  The Parties agree that, beginning on the Effective Date and throughout the term of this Agreement, Advertising Revenue and Designated Gross Revenue shall be divided between them as follows:

	
A.  

	
SearchCore shall receive twenty percent (20%) of all Advertising Revenue;

 

 

Page 4 of 12

 

 

Execution Version

 

	
B.  

	
After payment of the Advertising Revenue, all remaining Designated Gross Revenue (defined below) shall be divided as follows:

	
i.  

	
65% shall be paid to SearchCore; and

	
ii.  

	
35% shall be paid to TI.

	
C.  

	
Payment to the Parties of all amounts due under this Section shall be made no later than the 15th day of the month following the prior calendar month in arrears.

For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(1)           “Designated Gross Revenue” means revenue generated by or from the Domain and the Website related solely to (i) paid advertising subscriptions on map page for featured listing placements and enhanced map markers for studios and tattooists, (ii) paid advertising subscriptions on studio and tattooist portfolio page for featured listing placements, (iii) paid advertising slots on the home and landing pages, event page, map page and studio and tattooist profile page of the Website, (iv) paid advertising at events, in newsletters and on blogs; (v) paid product placement advertisement on the Website and (vi) payment for videos of studio tours, tattooist interview and product evaluations; provided, however, no other revenue of any kind or nature not described in clauses (i) through (vi) above shall be considered Designated Gross Revenue, including without limitation and revenues from (x) sales of tattoo art, tattoo supplies, merchandise and clothing and (y) fees for appointments, requests and referrals for tattooing.

(2)           “Advertising Revenue” means the revenue described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Designated Gross Revenue.

8. Reporting; Access to Financial Information.  On a monthly basis, whether or not any amounts are due and payable to TI under Section 7, SearchCore shall provide a monthly report with respect to the preceding month in form reasonably satisfactory to TI, summarizing all Designated Gross Revenue, all Advertising Revenue, and all amounts paid to the Parties under Section 5 and Section 7.  In addition, SearchCore shall promptly, but in no event later than five business days after request by TI, provide to TI all financial information regarding the Domain and Website that may be reasonably requested by TI.  In addition, SearchCore shall give TI reasonable access to all the premises, books and records of SearchCore to reasonably enable TI to audit the revenues with respect to the Domain and Website, and all revenue sharing payments under this Agreement.

Execution Version

9. Apparel Exclusivity.  Tattoo Clothing, LLC (“TC”) shall be the exclusive apparel vendor on the Website, on terms agreed upon between TC and TI.

10. Right of First Refusal.  If during the term of this Agreement, TI desires to sell the Domain pursuant to a bona fide written offer received from a third party (a “Bona Fide Offer”), TI shall first submit a written offer to sell the Domain to SearchCore on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to SearchCore than those contained in the Bona Fide Offer.  The offer to SearchCore shall disclose the identity of the proposed purchaser or transferee, the proposed terms and conditions of the sale or transfer (including the price), and any other material terms relating to the sale or transfer.  TI will not consummate any transfer, sale, or assignment of the Domain until thirty (30) days after the offer has been given to SearchCore, unless SearchCore waives its right of first refusal in writing, during which time SearchCore may purchase the Domain on the same terms as set forth in the Bona Fide Offer by executing a binding written agreement for the purchase of the Domain.  If SearchCore fails to execute a binding written agreement for the purchase of the Domain within such thirty day period, TI shall thereafter be free to sell the Domain on the terms and conditions set forth in the Bona Fide Offer, or any other terms and conditions that may be agreed to by TI.

11. Equity Ownership.  If the Website revenue goals set forth in Exhibit B are satisfied for the Initial Term and/or any Renewal Term, then the Parties agree that SearchCore shall be granted certain equity ownership interests in TI or such other entity that owns the Domain, the ownership of which will be divided by TI and SearchCore as determined by Exhibit B.  The capitalization of TI or such other entity selected by the parties to give effect to this Section shall be structured in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Parties, and shall be implemented in a manner that is tax-neutral to TI and its members. The charter documents shall contain terms and conditions customarily found in documents of that nature, such other terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed by the Parties, and shall be negotiated by the Parties in good faith.

12. Representations and Warranties.

	
A.  

	
Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party as follows:
