Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

(a)

On August 12, 1999, the Original Schedule 13D was filed which reported that Meckler beneficially owned 12,916,050 shares of Common Stock which represented approximately 55.20% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

On February 6, 2002, Amendment No. 1 was filed, which reported that from the period beginning August 13, 1999 up until the date thereof, Meckler purchased an aggregate of 127,150 shares of Common Stock on the open market. During this same period, Meckler transferred 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the Meckler Foundation Inc., a charitable foundation over which Meckler exercises investment control (the “Foundation”), and 5,000 shares of Common Stock to each of the Naomi A. Meckler Trust, the Catherine S. Meckler Trust, the Caroline J. Meckler Trust and the John M. Meckler Trust (trusts established for the benefit of Meckler’s four children and collectively referred to herein as the “Children’s Trusts”). As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period increased

Page 6 of 18 Pages

CUSIP No. 48207D101

from 11,472,836 shares to 11,529,986 shares, an increase of 57,150 shares (calculated as 127,150 shares acquired on the open market less 70,000 shares gifted).

In addition to the transfers described above, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock also increased during this period due to the following transactions: (i) the Children’s Trusts collectively purchased 32,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market (for a total of 52,000 shares acquired); (ii) the Foundation purchased 7,100 shares of Common Stock (for a total of 57,100 shares acquired); (iii) Ellen Meckler (Meckler’s spouse) purchased 88,100 shares of Common Stock and (iv) the Lillian Meckler Revocable Trust and the Herman L. Meckler Family Trust #1 (trusts established for the benefit of Meckler’s mother) acquired an aggregate of 69,200 shares of Common Stock and sold an aggregate of 7,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result of these transactions and the gifts to the Foundation and the Children’s Trusts described above, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock during this period increased from 1,443,214 shares to 1,702,614 shares, an increase of 259,400 shares.

During this period, Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock increased from 12,916,050 to 13,599,265, a total increase of 683,215 shares. Despite this increase, Meckler’s percentage ownership of the Issuer decreased from 55.20% to 52.92% due to issuances of shares of Common Stock by the Issuer.

On August 14, 2003, Amendment No. 2 was filed, which reported that during the period beginning February 6, 2002 and ending on the date thereof, Meckler sold 300,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) to Knowlton Brothers, Inc. (“Knowlton”), as general partner of several private investment funds, and certain persons affiliated with Knowlton (collectively, the “Knowlton Purchasers”) in a private transaction, for estate planning purposes. During this same period, Meckler purchased an aggregate of 18,900 shares of Common Stock on the open market. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period decreased from 11,529,986 to 11,248,886, a decrease of 281,100 shares (calculated as 18,900 shares acquired on the open market less 300,000 shares sold to the Knowlton Purchasers).

In addition to the transfers described above, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock increased during this period due to the following transactions: (i) the Children’s Trusts collectively purchased an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock (for a total of 92,000 shares acquired); (ii) the Foundation purchased 10,000 shares of Common Stock (for a total of 67,100 shares acquired); (iii) the Lillian Meckler Revocable Trust and the Herman L. Meckler Family Trust #1 acquired an aggregate of 12,000 shares of Common Stock and sold 24,000 shares of Common Stock, a total decrease of 12,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock during this period increased from 1,702,614 shares to 1,740,614 shares, an increase of 38,000 shares.

During this period, Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock increased from 13,599,265 to 14,222,831, a total increase of 623,566 shares. Despite this increase, Meckler’s percentage of ownership of the Issuer decreased from 52.92% to 52.44%.

CUSIP No. 48207D101

On June 8, 2004, Amendment No. 3 was filed, which reported that from the period beginning August 14, 2003 until May 28, 2004, Meckler acquired 499,998 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of certain stock options. In connection with the Issuer’s public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement (File No. 333-113293) and the Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2004, by and among the Issuer, certain selling stockholders named therein and the underwriters named therein, a form of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Form S-3/A on May 10, 2004, Meckler sold 599,998 shares of Common Stock, including the 499,998 shares acquired through the exercise of stock options described above. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period (excluding shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of May 28, 2004) decreased from 11,248,886 to 11,148,886 shares, a decrease of 100,000 shares (calculated as 499,998 shares acquired through the exercise of options less 599,998 shares sold in the Public Offering).

In addition to the transfers described above, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock decreased during this period due to the collective disposition of an aggregate of 140,002 shares of Common Stock by the Children’s Trusts in the Public Offering. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock during this period decreased from 1,740,615 shares (reflecting one additional share of Common Stock owned by the Children’s Trusts but inadvertently omitted from this Schedule 13D as previously amended) to 1,600,613 shares, for a decrease of 140,002 shares.

During this period, Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock decreased from 14,222,832 to 13,981,166, a total decrease of 241,666 shares. This decrease is a result of the following: (i) a decrease of 100,000 shares in Meckler’s direct ownership of shares (excluding shares underlying options) as described above; (ii) a decrease of 140,002 shares in Meckler’s indirect ownership of shares as described above; (iii) a net decrease in beneficial ownership of the number of shares underlying options from 1,233,331 to 1,231,667, for a net decrease of 1,664 option shares. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s percentage ownership of the Issuer decreased during this period from 52.44% to 43.26%.

On February 18, 2005, Amendment No. 4 was filed, which reported that from the period beginning May 28, 2004 until February 10, 2005, Meckler acquired 431,667 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of certain stock options. During this same period, Meckler sold 978,000 shares of Common Stock in a private transaction, transferred 60,000 shares of Common Stock to the Foundation as a gift and transferred 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Alan M. Meckler 2005 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, a grantor retained annuity trust over which Meckler exercises investment, but not voting, control (the “2005 Meckler Trust”), as a gift. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period (excluding shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of February 10, 2005) decreased from 11,148,886 to 8,542,553 shares, a decrease of 2,606,333 shares (calculated as 431,667 shares acquired through the exercise of options less 978,000 shares sold in a

Page 8 of 18 Pages

CUSIP No. 48207D101

private transaction, 60,000 shares transferred to the Foundation as a gift and 2,000,000 shares transferred to the 2005 Meckler Trust as a gift).

In addition to the transfers described above, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock increased during this period due to the following transactions: (i) each of the Children’s Trusts sold 18,000 shares of Common Stock in a private transaction; (ii) the Foundation received 60,000 shares of Common Stock as a gift from Meckler; (iii) the Foundation transferred 3,000 shares of Common Stock to a charitable organization as a gift; and (iv) the 2005 Meckler Trust received 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock as a gift from Meckler. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock during this period increased from 1,600,613 to 3,585,613 shares, an increase of 1,985,000 shares (calculated as 60,000 shares received by the Foundation as a gift and 2,000,000 shares received by the 2005 Meckler Trust as a gift less an aggregate of 72,000 shares sold by the Children’s Trusts and 3,000 shares transferred by the Foundation as a gift).

During this period, Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, as reported in Amendment No. 4, decreased from 13,981,166 to 12,796,500, a total decrease of 1,184,666 shares. This reported decrease was a result of the following: (i) a decrease of 2,606,333 shares in Meckler’s direct ownership of shares (excluding shares underlying options) as described above; (ii) an increase of 1,985,000 shares in Meckler’s indirect ownership of shares as described above; and (iii) a net reported decrease in beneficial ownership of the numbers of shares underlying options from 1,231,667 to 668,334, for a net reported decrease of 563,333 option shares. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s reported percentage ownership of the Issuer decreased during this period from 43.26% to 38.74%. Meckler’s reported change in beneficial ownership for this period did not, however, account for the expiration of an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock that expired on September 7, 2004. Accounting for the expiration of this option would have resulted in an actual beneficial ownership of 12,696,500 shares of Common stock and a change in percentage ownership from 43.26% to 38.56%.

From the period beginning February 11, 2005 until May 13, 2005, Meckler acquired 450,000 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of certain stock options. During this same period, Meckler sold 450,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period (excluding shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of May 13, 2005) remained unchanged. Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock also remained unchanged during this period.

Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock during this period (including shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of the reporting date and taking account of the expiration of an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock on September 7, 2004) increased from 12,696,500 to 12,713,167, a total increase of 16,667 shares. This increase is a result of a net increase in Meckler’s beneficial ownership of the number of shares underlying options from 568,334 to 585,001 (including options exercisable within 60 days of May 13, 2005 and taking

Page 9 of 18 Pages

CUSIP No. 48207D101

account of the expiration of his option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock on September 7, 2004), for a net increase of 16,667 option shares. As a result of these transactions and the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by the Issuer since the filing of Amendment No. 4, Meckler’s percentage ownership of the Issuer decreased from 38.56% to 36.43%, based on 34,896,467 shares outstanding as of May 13, 2005 (including shares underlying options beneficially owned by Meckler).

From the period beginning May 13, 2005 until October 22, 2008, Meckler acquired 333,334 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of certain stock options and purchased an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market. During this same time period, (i) Meckler sold 333,334 shares of Common Stock in the open market; (ii) on December 7, 2005 and June 9, 2008, respectively, 118,334 and 166,667 option shares expired in accordance with their terms; (iii) on December 23, 2005, the vesting of 200,000 option shares was accelerated; (iv) on June 9, 2006 and June 14, 2006, respectively, 166,667 and 133,333 option shares vested in accordance with their terms; (v) on June 7, 2007 and June 14, 2007, respectively, 106,667 and 133,333 option shares vested in accordance with their terms; (vi) on May 20, 2008, in connection with the Issuer’s Common Stock Option Exchange Offer (as described in Item 6 below), Meckler was granted 35,567 option shares, of which 7,874 option shares were immediately exercisable; (vii) on June 4, 2008, 58,335 option shares vested in accordance with their terms; and (viii) on June 7, 2008, 113,539 option shares vested in accordance with their terms. During this same time period, Meckler sold 96,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market pursuant to a 10b5-1 Stock Sale Plan, dated as of May 24, 2005, by and between Meckler and Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “2005 Stock Sale Plan”). As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock during this period (excluding shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of October 22, 2008) increased by 215,413 shares of Common Stock from 12,713,168 (reflecting one additional option share owned by Meckler but inadvertently omitted from this Schedule 13D as previously amended) to 12,928,581 (calculated as (i) 10,000 shares acquired on the open market; plus (ii) the vesting of 919,748 option shares; less (iii) the exercise and subsequent sale of 333,334 option shares; less (iv) the expiration of 285,001 option shares; and less (v) the disposition of 96,000 shares pursuant to the 2005 Stock Sale Plan).

From the period beginning May 13, 2005 until October 22, 2008, Meckler (i) gifted 142,000 shares of Common Stock to the Foundation and an additional 635 shares to the Pennington School; (ii) received 953,875 shares of Common Stock as a distribution in satisfaction of a required annuity payment from the 2005 Meckler Trust on May 4, 2006 and, subsequently, Meckler gifted 953,875 shares of Common Stock to the Alan M. Meckler 2006 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, a grantor retained annuity trust over which Meckler exercises investment, but not voting, control (the “2006 Meckler Trust”) on May 9, 2006; (iii) received 1,046,125 shares of Common Stock as a distribution in satisfaction of a required annuity payment from the 2005 Meckler Trust and subsequently gifted 1,046,125 shares of Common Stock to the Alan M. Meckler 2007 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, a grantor retained annuity trust over which Meckler exercises investment, but not voting, control (the “2007 Meckler Trust I”) on February 13, 2007; (iv) received 953,875 shares of Common Stock as a distribution in satisfaction of a required annuity

payment from the 2006 Meckler Trust and subsequently gifted 953,875 shares of Common Stock to the Alan M. Meckler 2007 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II, a grantor retained annuity trust over which Meckler exercises investment, but not voting, control (the “2007 Meckler Trust II”) on May 9, 2007; and (v) received 1,046,125 and 953,875 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as a distribution in satisfaction of a required annuity payment from the 2007 Meckler Trust I and 2007 Meckler Trust II and subsequently gifted 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the 2008 Meckler Trust on May 12, 2008. In addition, on December 21, 2006, Meckler resigned from his position as a trustee of the Children’s Trusts, in which capacity he exercised investment control over the Children’s Trusts, resulting in the disposition for Schedule 13D purposes of the 1,323,213 shares of Common Stock held of record by the Children’s Trusts at that time. As a result of these transactions, Meckler’s direct ownership of Common Stock decreased by 142,635 shares of Common Stock and his indirect ownership of Common Stock decreased by 1,181,213 shares of Common Stock (calculated as the net 142,000 shares of Common Stock transferred to the Foundation, 2005 Meckler Trust, 2006 Meckler Trust, 2007 Meckler Trust I, 2007 Meckler Trust II and 2008 Meckler Trust less the 1,323,213 shares of Common Stock disposed of in connection with Meckler’s resignation as a trustee of the Children’s Trusts).

In addition to the preceding transfers, Meckler’s indirect ownership of Common Stock increased by an additional 75,260 during this period due to the following transactions: (i) Ellen Meckler purchased 40,260 shares of Common Stock on the open market; (ii) the Foundation purchased 5,800 shares of Common Stock on the open market; and (iii) the Herman L. Meckler Family Trust #1 and Herman L. Meckler Family Trust #2 (both of which are trusts established for the benefit of Meckler’s mother and are collectively referred to herein as the “Parent Trusts”) purchased 4,300 and 19,100 shares of Common Stock on the open market, respectively.

Meckler’s aggregate beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock during the period from May 13, 2005 until October 22, 2008 (including shares underlying options exercisable within 60 days of the reporting date) decreased from 12,713,168 to 11,732,527, a total decrease of 980,641 shares of Common Stock. This decrease is the net result of (a) a net increase in Meckler’s beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying options from 585,002 to 944,749 (including 58,334 options that become exercisable within 60 days of October 22, 2008 on December 12, 2008 and taking account of (i) the expiration of an option to purchase 118,334 shares of Common Stock on December 7, 2005 and the expiration of an option to purchase 166,667 shares of Common Stock on June 9, 2008; (ii) the accelerated vesting of an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock on December 23, 2005; (iii) the vesting of 166,667 (June 9, 2006), 133,333 (June 14, 2006), 106,667 (June 7, 2007), 133,333 (June 14, 2007), 7,874 (May 20, 2008) 58,335 (June 4, 2008) and 113,539 (June 7, 2008) option shares in accordance with their respective terms; (iv) his exercise and sale of 333,334 option shares from May 13, 2005 until October 22, 2008), for a net increase of 359,747 option shares, (b) a net decrease in Meckler’s direct beneficial ownership giving effect to (i) his sale of 96,000 shares pursuant to the 2005 Stock Sale Plan; (ii) his purchase of 10,000 shares on the open market; and (iii) the net transfer of 142,635 shares to the Foundation, the Pennington School, the 2006 Meckler Trust, 2007 Meckler Trust I, 2007

Meckler Trust II and 2008 Meckler Trust for a net decrease of 228,635 shares, and (c) a net decrease in Meckler’s indirect beneficial ownership giving effect to (i) the net transfer of 142,000 shares to the Foundation, the 2006 Meckler Trust, 2007 Meckler Trust I, 2007 Meckler Trust II and 2008 Meckler Trust; (ii) 40,260 shares purchased by Ellen Meckler on the open market; (iii) 5,800 shares purchased by the Foundation on the open market; (iv) 23,400 shares purchased by the Parent Trusts on the open market; and (v) the disposition of 1,323,213 shares of Common Stock in connection with Meckler’s resignation as a trustee of the Children’s Trusts, for a net decrease of 1,111,753 indirectly held shares. As a result of these transactions and the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by the Issuer since the filing of Amendment No. 5, Meckler’s percentage ownership of the Issuer decreased from 36.4% to 31.8%, based on 36,911,901 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 6, 2008 (including shares of Common Stock underlying options beneficially owned by Meckler).

Meckler believed at the time of these acquisitions and dispositions, and continues to believe, that the Issuer represents an attractive investment based on the Issuer’s business prospects and strategy. Meckler may from time to time acquire shares of Common Stock or dispose of shares of Common Stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on existing market conditions and other considerations discussed below. Meckler intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to Meckler, general stock market and economic conditions, tax and estate planning considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time not to increase, or to decrease, the size of his investment in the Issuer.

(c)

As noted above in the introductory note, the Issuer entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) on October 22, 2008 to sell its Online Images business to Getty Images for an aggregate purchase price of $96 million in cash. Under the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of Jupiterimages Corporation (“Jupiterimages”), an Arizona corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary, to Getty Images (the “Transaction”). Following the completion of the Transaction, the Issuer will continue to operate its Online media business, which consists of five distinct networks: internet.com and EarthWeb.com for IT and business professionals; DevX.com for developers; and Mediabistro.com and Graphics.com for media and creative professionals.

In connection with the Agreement, on October 22, 2008, Meckler, Ellen Meckler, the Children’s Trusts, the Parent Trusts, the Foundation, the 2008 Meckler Trust, and certain other stockholders of the Issuer, each, on an individual basis, entered into separate definitive support agreements (collectively, the “Support Agreements” and each a “Support Agreement”) with Getty Images to vote in favor of the Transaction, as described in Item 6 below.

Common Stock Option Exchange Offer

On May 20, 2008, Issuer’s Board of Directors approved a plan to exchange all outstanding non-qualified stock options having an exercise price greater than $4.00 per share (the “Eligible Options”) for new options with an exercise price of $2.01 per share, the closing price of the Issuer’s common stock on May 20, 2008, on a one-for-one basis (the “Common Stock Option Exchange Offer”). In addition, the Issuer’s Board of Directors also authorized the issuance of a limited number of incentive stock options, which in Meckler’s case were issued with an exercise price of $2.21 per share, 110% of the closing price of the Issuer’s common stock on May 20, 2008.

Exhibit 2

Execution Copy

Stock Sale Plan

This Stock Sale Plan (this “Plan”) is entered into this 24th day of May, 2005 between Alan M. Meckler (the “Participant”) and Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Broker”).

Recitals

The Participant desires to establish this Plan to systematically sell shares of common stock (the “Stock”) of Jupitermedia Corporation (the “Issuer”).

The Participant desires to engage the Broker to effect sales of shares of the Stock in accordance with this Plan.

The Stock is principally traded on the NASDAQ (the “Exchange”).

Agreement

Therefore, the Participant and the Broker hereby agree as follows:

1. The Broker shall use its best efforts to effect sales (each a “Planned Transaction”), commencing July 1, 2005, of Stock as follows:

•

8,000 shares of Stock, at a price of $12.00 per share or better, on a monthly basis.

2. This Plan shall become effective on the date hereof and shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

•

the date that the Participant ceases to be an officer and a director of the Issuer;

•

96,000 shares of Stock having been sold;

•

June 30, 2006; or

•

the death of the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2, the Participant may terminate this Plan at any time by providing written notice of termination prior to the requested date of termination.

3. The Participant understands that if the Broker is not able to effect a Planned Transaction on its scheduled date due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory, or contractual restriction applicable to the Broker, then such Planned Transaction shall be effected as promptly as practical after the cessation or termination of such market disruption, applicable restriction, or other event.

4. The Participant represents and warrants that he:

(a) is not currently aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer (including the Stock);

(b) is not subject to any legal, regulatory, or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent the Broker from conducting the Planned Transactions in accordance with this Plan;

(c) is entering into this Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of SEC Rule 10b5-1;

(d) owns free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or other restrictions the shares of Stock to be sold under this Plan subject, in the case of shares of Stock underlying stock options to be exercised pursuant to this Plan, only to the compliance by the Participant with the exercise provisions of such options;

(e) is an affiliate of the Issuer for purposes of SEC Rule 144; and

(f) is currently able to purchase and sell shares of Stock in accordance with the Issuer’s insider-trading policies and has obtained the approval of the Issuer’s General Counsel (or other appropriate compliance officer) to enter into this Plan at this time which approval is evidenced below by the Issuer’s acknowledgement hereof.

5. The Participant shall immediately notify the Broker if the Participant becomes subject to a legal, regulatory, or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent the Broker from making Planned Transactions under this Plan, and, in such a case, the Participant and the Broker shall cooperate to amend or otherwise revise this Plan to take account of the restriction or undertaking (but neither party shall be obligated to take any action that would be inconsistent with SEC Rule 10b5-1(c)).

6. It is the parties’ intent that this Plan comply with the requirements of SEC Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) and this Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements thereof. Any provision of this Plan that cannot be construed in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) shall be void.

7. (a) If the Participant is an “affiliate” of the Issuer for purposes of SEC Rule 144, as represented by the Participant above, then the Broker agrees to conduct all Planned Transactions in accordance with the manner-of-sale requirement of Rule 144, and in no event shall the Broker effect any such Planned Transaction if it would exceed the then-applicable volume limitation under Rule 144, assuming that the sales under this Plan and any other sales reported to the Broker in writing by the Participant are the only sales subject to that limitation. The Participant agrees not to take, and agrees to cause any person or entity with which he or she would be required to aggregate sales of Stock under paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause any such sale not to comply with Rule 144.

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, the Purchase Price less the Escrow Amount (the “Closing Date Payment”).

- 14 -

Section 2.3. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Purchaser within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, but in any event Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, (i) a final consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), (ii) a schedule setting forth the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Closing Schedule”), and (iii) a schedule setting forth the Purchase Price Adjustment proposed to be made in accordance with Section 2.3(e) (the “Adjustment Report”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding fiscal year.

(b) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule and the Adjustment Report, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller made in good faith, object to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule or the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in the Adjustment Report. If Purchaser objects in good faith to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule or the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in the Adjustment Report, Purchaser shall within such twenty (20) day period deliver written notice of its objection (the “Objection Notice”) to Seller (i) objecting in good faith to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule and/or the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in the Adjustment Report, (ii) setting forth the items, in reasonable detail, being disputed and the reasons therefor (the “Disputed Items”) and (iii) specifying Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Purchase Price Adjustment to be made in accordance with this Section 2.3. If Purchaser fails to deliver notice of its objection to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule or the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in the Adjustment Report within the time periods set forth in this Section 2.3(b), then the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Schedule, as the case may be, shall be deemed final and the determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment as set forth in the Adjustment Report shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller.

(c) For twenty (20) days after delivery of any Objection Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to resolve all Disputed Items. If Purchaser and Seller cannot resolve all such Disputed Items within such twenty (20) day period, such Disputed Items shall be determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or, if such firm declines to act in such capacity, a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (the “Arbiter”). Promptly, but not later than twenty (20) days after the acceptance of its appointment, the Arbiter shall determine (based solely on presentations by Seller and Purchaser to the Arbiter and not by independent review) only the Disputed Items and shall render a decision with respect to such Disputed Items and the resulting calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital. For purposes of the Arbiter’s determination, the amounts to be included shall be the appropriate amounts from the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Schedule or the Adjustment Report, as the case may be, as to items that are not Disputed Items, and the amounts determined by the Arbiter, as to the Disputed Items that are submitted for

- 15 -

resolution by the Arbiter. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with the Arbiter in making its determination and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller.

(d) The fees and expenses of the Arbiter shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion that the dollar amount of Disputed Items which are not resolved in favor of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of Disputed Items resolved by the Arbiter. For illustration purposes only, (i) if the total amount of Disputed Items by Seller is $1,000, and Seller is awarded $500 by the Arbiter, Purchaser and Seller shall bear the Arbiter’s fees and expenses equally or (ii) if the total amount of Disputed Items by Seller is $1,000, and Seller is awarded $250 by the Arbiter, Seller shall bear seventy-five percent (75%) and Purchaser shall bear twenty-five percent (25%) of the Arbiter’s fees and expenses. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.3.

(e) Within ten (10) days after the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.3, (i) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, then Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount of such excess plus interest (at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date on which the Closing Date Balance Sheet is delivered to and including the date payment is made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, and (ii) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such deficit plus interest (at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date on which the Closing Date Balance Sheet is delivered to and including the date payment is made) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser. The amount of the payment by Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or the amount of the payment by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (ii), as applicable, is referred to as the “Purchase Price Adjustment.” All payments pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) other than interest shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all foreign, federal, state and local income Tax purposes.

(f) Nothing in this Section 2.3 or in the statements, reports or documents contemplated hereby shall affect the parties’ rights and obligations in respect of a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty herein; provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser or Seller be entitled to any duplicative adjustments or claims.

(c) After the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide to each other and to their respective officers, employees, counsel and other Representatives, upon request (subject to any limitations that are reasonably required to preserve any applicable attorney-client privilege or confidentiality obligation), reasonable access for inspection and copying of all books, records, Contracts, Permits and financial, operating and other information existing as of the Closing Date and relating to the Business or Seller, as applicable, to enable the party requesting such access to (i) in the case of Seller, prepare the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and (ii) comply with any reporting, filing or other requirements imposed by any Governmental Agency (including any Tax or SEC reports, filings or requirements).

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Agency relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Agency and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) facilitate to the extent practicable the participation by Representatives of the other party in any material oral

- 47 -

communications or meetings with Representatives of any Governmental Agency having jurisdiction over any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the FTC, the DOJ and any foreign competition authority. Each of the parties hereto shall, to the extent practicable, provide notice of any substantive communication to, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Agency with respect to any such filing or submission or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto shall, to the extent practicable, give the other party prior notice of any meeting with any Governmental Agency and the opportunity to consult with the other in advance of any material meeting with any Governmental Agency and give the other parties the opportunity to attend or participate (unless prohibited by such Governmental Agency). Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information and/or confidentiality obligations, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on, all the information relating to the other parties and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants of the parties contained in this Section 5.4, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by a Governmental Agency or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that “reasonable best efforts” shall not include, and Purchaser shall not be required to, nor shall Seller or the Company do, any of the following: (i) executing settlement, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements, (ii) selling, divesting, holding separate or otherwise conveying any particular assets or categories of assets or businesses of the Company or Purchaser, including any offer of any of the foregoing, (iii) agreeing to sell, divest, hold separate or otherwise convey any particular assets or categories of assets or businesses of the Company or Purchaser contemporaneously with or subsequent to the Closing, or (iv) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that after the Closing Date would limit the freedom of action of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (including the Company) with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, one or more of its or their businesses, operations, product lines or assets.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no obligation to contest or resist any action or proceeding challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Laws by any Governmental Agency. Should any preliminary or permanent injunction or similar Order granting injunctive relief (other than a temporary restraining order) under the Antitrust Laws be issued by any Governmental Agency, Purchaser may elect (upon written notice within five (5) Business Days after issuance), but (notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement) shall not be required to seek or have such injunction, Order or stay vacated, lifted or otherwise set aside, but in the event Purchaser so elects, Purchaser and Seller shall be obligated to use their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist thereafter until such time, if any, as Purchaser decides in its sole discretion to cease contesting or resisting such preliminary injunction, Order or stay, or any other administrative or

- 48 -

judicial action or proceeding challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Antitrust Laws.

(c) If, at any time prior to the Closing Date, any information relating to Seller, Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by Seller and Purchaser which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or other filings with the SEC, so that the Proxy Statement or other filings with the SEC would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Seller.

(d) Seller shall, in accordance with Seller’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Law, promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, a meeting of the stockholders of Seller (the “Seller Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Seller Stockholder Approval, in all cases regardless of whether (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (ii) any Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly proposed or announced or otherwise submitted to Seller or any of its Representatives. The board of directors of Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit the Seller Stockholder Approval.

(a) Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Seller’s, the Company’s and their Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of confidential information previously provided to such parties by Seller, the Company, their Subsidiaries or any Representatives to the extent such confidential information remains confidential at such time. From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Closing Date and subject to Section 5.6(b), Seller and the Company shall not, and shall cause

- 50 -

their Subsidiaries and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly cause, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend to the stockholders of Seller any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) enter into an agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, Seller or the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal in circumstances not involving a breach of Section 5.6(a), Seller may, directly or through its Representatives, (i) contact such Person and its Representatives for the purpose of clarifying the Acquisition Proposal and any material terms thereof and the conditions to and likelihood of consummation, so as to determine, following consultation with Seller’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, whether such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (ii) if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith after consultation with its legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the board of directors of Seller may, but only if and to the extent the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach by the board of directors of Seller of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and after providing Purchaser not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice of its intention to take such actions, (A) furnish non-public information with respect to Seller or the Company to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement executed by Seller or the Company and such Person containing provisions as to nondisclosure and use restrictions at least as favorable to Seller or the Company, as applicable, as those contained in the NDA; provided, however, that Seller or the Company has previously or concurrently furnished such information to Purchaser and (B) participate in negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by Section 5.6(d) or Section 5.6(e), the board of directors of Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) (A) withdraw (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to Purchaser) or publicly propose to withdraw (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to Purchaser), the Seller Board Recommendation, (B) recommend that its stockholders, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend that its stockholders, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Proposal or (C) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for Stock or Seller Stock that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after

- 51 -

the commencement of such offer (any of the foregoing actions being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or allow Seller or the Company to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.6(a)) (A) constituting or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal or (B) requiring Seller or the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the board of directors of Seller receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal prior to the receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, that (i) was made in circumstances not involving a breach of Section 5.6(a) and (ii) the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal:

(i) the board of directors of Seller may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Superior Proposal if the board of directors determines in good faith, based on such matters it deems relevant following consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach by the board of directors of Seller of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) the board of directors of Seller may, in response to such Superior Proposal and within forty-eight (48) hours after the expiration of the three (3) Business Day period described below, enter into a Contract with respect to such Superior Proposal if Seller is permitted to terminate this Agreement on such date pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1(g) and, concurrently with its entering into such Contract shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(g) but only after the third (3rd) Business Day following Purchaser’s receipt of written notice from Seller advising Purchaser that the board of directors of Seller is prepared to enter into a Contract with respect to such Superior Proposal (which notice shall include the most current versions of such Contract) and terminate this Agreement, if during such three (3) Business Day period, Seller and its Representatives shall have provided Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to provide to Seller a binding written offer by Purchaser to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall have considered in good faith any such binding, written offer of Purchaser to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement delivered by Purchaser to Seller.

(e) Without limiting the provision of Section 5.6(d), at any time prior to obtaining the Seller Stockholder Approval, and subject to Seller’s compliance in all material respects with the other provisions of this Section 5.6, as applicable, the board of directors of Seller may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is consistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of

- 52 -

Seller under applicable Law; provided, however, that Seller shall provide Purchaser with forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the board of directors of Seller) of any meeting of the board of directors of Seller at which the board of directors is expected to consider making an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser orally and in writing, and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt, of any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to such Acquisition Proposal). Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status (including any change to the material terms and conditions thereof) of any such Acquisition Proposal and shall provide Purchaser with copies of any additional written materials received that relate to such Acquisition Proposal.

(g) Nothing in this Section 5.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the board of directors of Seller from taking and disclosing any position or disclosing any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law or, if applicable, from complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and to the extent referred to therein, Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that any such disclosure thereunder shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, including with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change. In addition, nothing in this Section 5.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller or the Company from taking any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders Seller or the Company to take.

Section 5.7. Notices of Certain Events.

The parties to this Agreement shall promptly notify each other of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to their knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Purchaser, Seller or the Company which, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Schedule 3.8 in the case of Seller or the Company, or that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

- 53 -

For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.8. Further Assurances.

(a) Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Document and to vest in Purchaser title to the Stock as provided herein.

(b) Upon reasonable notice from Purchaser to Seller anytime prior to the Closing Date, Seller and the Company shall, at the sole expense of Purchaser and following Purchaser’s preparation and delivery to Seller of all required filings, certificates, agreements and other documentation necessary to effect the Requested Actions, use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, certain corporate actions reasonably requested by Purchaser to be effective on or prior to the Closing Date, including (i) the transfer of ownership of any Subsidiary of the Company to another Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary of the Company with and into the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company, or (iii) the conversion of any Subsidiary of the Company into another entity (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as “Requested Actions”); provided, however, that no such Requested Actions shall (A) delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) result in any Liability to Seller and (C) be taken unless (1) such Requested Actions are permitted by applicable Law and by any agreements to which Seller, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries are party, (2) Seller has received a written notice from Purchaser confirming that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (or, with respect to Section 7.3, at the option of Purchaser, waived) and that Purchaser is prepared to proceed immediately with the Closing (it being understood that in any event the Requested Actions will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Closing) and (3) such Requested Actions could not be effected by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing without the loss of any benefit to Purchaser.

(c) In the event that the parties agree in good faith that obtaining any approval required under Foreign Antitrust Laws in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be reasonably expected to delay the Closing as a result of such approval being the only remaining unsatisfied or unwaived condition to Closing under Article VII, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) segregate the relevant Subsidiary(ies) of the Company and/or assets of the Company or its Subsidiary(ies), as applicable, that are the subject of the application for such approval under relevant Foreign Antitrust Laws, (ii) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are not the subject of the application for such approval under Foreign Antitrust Laws in accordance with the terms of Article VIII of this Agreement and (iii) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are the subject of the application for such approval under Foreign Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable after such approval has been obtained.

Thereafter, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party).

(a) Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Continuing Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Continuing Employee or their covered dependents prior to the Closing Date (except to the extent accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet). Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Continuing Employees or their covered dependents on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

(b) Continuing Employees shall be given credit for all service with Seller (and any predecessor employer for which Seller credited service) to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Seller, under each Purchaser employee benefit plan, policy program or arrangement (each, a “Purchaser Plan”) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefits accrual (other than benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan and other than which would result in the duplication of benefits accrual for the same period of service).

(c) With respect to any Purchaser Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) maintained by Purchaser, with respect to each Continuing Employee, Purchaser shall (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition and waiting periods and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, such employees during the plan year of the applicable plan sponsored by Seller during which the Closing occurs with respect to similar plans maintained by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time (including flexible time off and sick pay) as of the Closing Date to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy of Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume the Liability for such accrued but unused vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued vacation.

(e) Upon reasonable notice from Purchaser to Seller anytime prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, at the sole expense of Purchaser and following Purchaser’s preparation and delivery to Seller of all required filings, certificates, agreements and other documentation necessary to effect the following actions, use its commercially reasonable efforts to terminate or transfer to any Person, other than the Company or any such Subsidiary, effective as of the Closing Date, any Plan sponsored by the Company or any such Subsidiary to the extent allowable under applicable Law and by any agreements to which Seller, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries are party; provided, however, that no such termination or transfer shall (A) delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) result in any Liability to Seller and (C) be taken unless (1) Seller has received a written notice from Purchaser confirming that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (or, with respect to Section 7.3, at the option of Purchaser, waived) and that Purchaser is prepared to proceed immediately with the Closing (it being understood that in any event such terminations or transfers will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Closing) or (2) such actions could not be effected by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing without the loss of any benefit to Purchaser.

Section 5.12. Delivery of Financial Information.

As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days after the end of each such month, but in any event Seller shall deliver to Purchaser no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each such month, copies of (a) the unaudited statements of income of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP (without giving effect to any footnote disclosure required under GAAP) consistent with past practice and (b) all other monthly management reports prepared in respect of the Company in the Ordinary Course of Business. As soon as practicable following each fiscal quarter from the date hereof until the Closing Date, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the unaudited balance sheet of the Company and the related unaudited statement of income, in each case, prepared in accordance with GAAP

(a) Seller agrees that, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller shall not be prohibited from participating in the operation of the remaining business and assets of Seller (other than the Business) including permitting any Person to advertise with Seller (or on or in any of Seller’s websites, magazines or job boards) or attend, exhibit, sponsor or speak at any Seller conference, exhibition, training, class or webinar and (ii) following the expiration of the Non-Competition Period (as defined in the Non-Competition Agreement), this Section 5.13(a) shall only apply to Alan Meckler in his capacity as an employee, officer and director of Seller and its Subsidiaries (and not in his individual capacity or as an Affiliate of Seller or its Subsidiaries). The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Purchaser, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.

(b) Seller and Purchaser each agree that, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, it shall not solicit or induce the employment or services of or hire any employee of Purchaser or any employee providing services to the Business, in the case of Seller, or any employee of Seller, in the case of Purchaser, without the prior written consent of such other party hereto; provided, however, that general solicitations to the public not directed at such employees shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 5.13(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or Purchaser terminates the employment of any such employee, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be permitted to solicit such terminated employee.

Section 5.14. Assignment and Recordation of Intellectual Property.

(a) At Closing (provided that Purchaser complies with its obligations hereunder), Seller shall assign to the Company or such other Person designated by Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all Seller-Owned Business Intellectual Property and Seller-Owned Business Technology free and clear of all Liens. In connection therewith, Purchaser shall prepare for execution by Seller an assignment in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Upon such execution and in no event later than thirty (30) days after Closing, Seller shall submit such executed assignment (or other documentation or information as may be necessary) to the relevant Governmental Agencies or Internet domain name registrars, as Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion deems necessary or desirable. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to any other documents, filings or actions reasonably necessary to reflect the

- 57 -

Company or such other Person designated by Purchaser as the record owner (in a manner such that there is no break in the chain of title and the releases of all Liens are recorded) of all registrations and applications for any Seller-Owned Business Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.14, Seller shall not be obligated to transfer any Seller-Owned Business Intellectual Property that Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines is not material to the Business. As between Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser shall have sole control with respect to the coordination of such assignment, submission and action. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, including by executing documents and providing documents and information useful or necessary to effect such assignment, submission and action. Purchaser shall bear all of the fees, costs and expenses arising out of or related to any such assignment, submission or action and shall reimburse Seller for any such reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses to the extent incurred by Seller.

(b) Prior to Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect the Company or such other Person designated by Purchaser as the record owner (in a manner such that there is no break in the chain of title and the releases of all Liens are recorded) of all registrations and, to the extent reasonably practicable, pending applications for Copyrights that are Company Intellectual Property (other than Seller-Owned Business Intellectual Property), all of the foregoing of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the beneficial owner, but not the record owner, as of the date hereof.

Section 5.15. Assigned Agreements and Assets. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assign or transfer, or cause to be assigned or transferred, to the Company (a) each of the agreements set forth on Schedule 5.15 hereto (the “Assigned Agreements”) and (b) all assets of Seller that are used primarily in the Business which are identified by Seller or Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (the “Assigned Assets” and, together with the Assigned Agreements, the “Assigned Agreements and Assets”). In the event consents to the assignment of the Assigned Agreements and Assets cannot be obtained prior to the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall continue to seek such consents and shall assign or transfer, or cause to be assigned or transferred, to the Company such Assigned Agreements and Assets as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and (ii) Seller shall, at its own expense, take, or cause to be taken, such actions as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of such Assigned Agreements and Assets, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and obligations arising under such Assigned Agreements and Assets following the Closing Date, in each case, until such time as Seller completes such assignment or transfer.

Section 5.16. Assumed Liabilities.

Immediately prior to the Closing Date, all of the Assumed Liabilities shall be assigned by Seller to the Company and assumed by the Company pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement by and between Seller and the Company, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

- 58 -

Section 5.17. Company Owned Property.

Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller all of the Company’s right, title and interests in and to the Company Owned Property. Purchaser or the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall negotiate in good faith and, as of the Closing Date, shall enter into a lease agreement with respect to the lease of the Company Owned Property to Purchaser or the Company, as applicable (the “Peoria Lease”), which shall (a) have a term to be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, (b) include rent on terms and conditions that are consistent with the market for commercial leased real property in Peoria, Illinois determined as of the date of execution of the Peoria Lease; provided, however, that in the event that Purchaser or Seller cannot agree on the amount of such rent, an independent third party mutually agreeable to Purchaser and Seller with applicable experience in the Peoria, Illinois commercial real estate rental market shall be engaged to determine the amount of such rent and the fees, costs and expenses of such independent third party shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller and (c) provide for the payment of such rent commencing as of the Closing Date. Seller shall bear all of the fees, costs and expenses arising out of or related to such transfer (but excluding any rent, fees, costs or expenses to be paid to Seller pursuant to the Peoria Lease) and shall reimburse Purchaser for any such fees, costs or expenses to the extent incurred by Purchaser and no such transfer shall result in any Liability to Purchaser or the Company.

The Company will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to any Straddle Period, the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated as follows: (a) real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (b) the Taxes of the Company (other than Property Taxes) for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

Section 6.3. Tax Proceedings.

(a) If notice of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by Purchaser for which Seller may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to Section 6.10, Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of any such notice, notify Seller in writing of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of Purchaser to give Seller notice as provided herein shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Section 6.3, except to the extent that Seller is adversely affected thereby.

(b) Seller shall have the right to control (at its own expense) the conduct of any Tax Claim with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date for which it may be liable for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI or Article IX; provided, however, that Seller shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Claim without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if it would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Purchaser. Purchaser shall control the conduct of all other Tax Claims.

Section 6.4. Tax Cooperation.

Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably

- 61 -

requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Tax Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods. A party intending to destroy any material records or documents shall provide the other party with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to copy or take possession of such records.

Section 6.5. Certain Post-Closing Actions.

Neither party nor any of their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (a) make or change any income and other material Tax election affecting a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, before the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) or (b) amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return prepared by (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, before the Closing, the Company) relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) Purchaser relating to any Straddle Period; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) may take any such action described in (a) or (b) above unless such action would have the effect of increasing the Tax Liability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Year in excess of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate (the “Allowed Liability Amount”); provided, further, however, that the Allowed Liability Amount, if any, shall be included, dollar for dollar, in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i).

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser when due, and Seller and Purchaser will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges.

Section 6.9. Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) With respect to the sale of the Stock, if so requested by Purchaser upon notice to Seller no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly make a Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with applicable Laws and as set forth herein. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other and take all necessary steps to properly make a Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with applicable Laws. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith with each other in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the making of such an election, including the exchange of information and the joint preparation and filing of Form 8023 and related schedules. Purchaser and Seller agree to report the transfers under this Agreement consistent with such elections and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable tax Law.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.9(f) below, Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Section 338 Forms in accordance with applicable Tax Laws and the terms of this Agreement and shall deliver such Section 338 Forms to Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Section 338 Forms are required to be filed. Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such documents or forms (including executed Section 338 Forms) as are requested and are required by any Laws in order to properly complete the Section 338 Forms at least twenty (20) days prior to the date such Section 338 Forms are required to be filed. Seller shall provide Purchaser with such information as Purchaser reasonably requests in order to prepare the Section 338 Forms by the later of thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s request for such information or thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Purchaser is required to deliver such forms to Seller.

(c) The Purchase Price, Liabilities of the Company and other relevant items shall be allocated in accordance with Section 338(b)(5) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Purchaser shall prepare such allocation (the “Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule”) and shall deliver the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule to Seller within five (5) days after the final determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment. Thereafter, Purchaser shall provide Seller from time to time a revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule (“Revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule”), so as to report any matter on the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule that needs updating (including any adjustments to the Purchase Price). Any such Revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of

- 63 -

Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Seller shall have the right to review the Revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule.

(d) If Seller disagrees with respect to any material item in the Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule or Revised Section 338(h)(10) Allocation Schedule, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If they cannot resolve the dispute within ten (10) days, any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 6.1(d). Seller and Purchaser shall each provide to the other for review a copy of its IRS Form 8883 at least ten (10) Business Days prior to its submission to the IRS.

(e) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule computing the amount of the Tax Adjustment within five (5) days after the parties have agreed to the allocation of the Purchase Price (or any dispute with respect thereto has been resolved) pursuant to Section 6.9(c) (the “Tax Adjustment Schedule”), but in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date to file the Section 338(h)(10) Election. For purposes hereof, the “Tax Adjustment” shall mean an amount of additional consideration necessary to cause Seller’s after-Tax net proceeds from the sale of the Stock with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any election made under Section 338(g) of the Code by Purchaser (collectively, the “Elections”) to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds that Seller would have received had the Elections not been made, taking into account all appropriate state, federal and local Tax implications. In making such calculations, the actual corporate federal and state tax rates to which Seller is subject shall be used and any other items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credits of Seller shall be ignored. Purchaser shall review the Tax Adjustment Schedule and shall provide Seller with any comments within five (5) days after receipt of such Tax Adjustment Schedule. Seller shall make such revisions to the Tax Adjustment Schedule as reasonably requested by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Adjustment Schedule. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Tax Adjustment Schedule within five (5) days of receipt of Purchaser’s comments, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 6.1(d), which resolution shall be binding on the parties. The amount of the Tax Adjustment, as agreed to by the parties or as determined pursuant to Section 6.1(d), shall be paid to Seller as additional Purchase Price as provided in Section 6.9(f) below. If, as a result of the Elections, Seller recognizes a capital loss carryforward (an “Election Carryforward”), Seller shall pay the amount of any Tax benefit recognized with respect to an Election Carryforward to Purchaser as and when such Tax benefit is actually recognized by Seller. In calculating the amount of Tax benefit realized by Seller, the actual corporate federal and state rates to which Seller is subject shall be used. For this purpose, Seller shall be deemed to recognize a Tax benefit with respect to any Election Carryforward in a taxable year if, and to the extent that, Seller’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding the use of any Election Carryforward, exceeds Seller’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account the use of any Election Carryforward (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating for this purpose the use of such Election Carryforward as the last item claimed for any taxable year, notwithstanding any provision of applicable Tax law); provided, however, that Seller

- 64 -

shall not be treated as using any Election Carryforward to the extent Seller has generated any subsequent capital loss carryforwards (a “Subsequent Carryforward”) and is required to first use the Election Carryforward under relevant Tax law; provided, further, however, that if, pursuant to the previous proviso, an Election Carryforward is not treated as having been used by Seller for this purpose and a Subsequent Carryforward is treated as having been used pursuant to the previous proviso, such Subsequent Carryforward shall be treated as an Election Carryforward for purposes of this Section 6.9(e) until its expiration under applicable Tax law.

(f) On the Closing Date, Seller shall deposit five (5) completed and executed originals of IRS Form 8023 (or successor forms) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Election Forms”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the Election Escrow Agreement to be negotiated in good faith by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing and which will reflect the terms set forth in this Section 6.9(f). Pursuant to the Election Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release the Election Forms to Purchaser upon receipt of a joint written instruction from Seller and Purchaser to the Escrow Agent following the payment to Seller by Purchaser of the Tax Adjustment; provided, however, that if the Tax Adjustment has not been agreed to by the parties or finally determined pursuant to Section 6.1(d) no later than the time of the delivery of Purchaser’s notice to Seller pursuant to Section 6.9(a), the Escrow Agent shall be instructed to release the Election Forms to Purchaser upon the Escrow Agent’s confirmation of receipt by the Escrow Agent of the entire amount of the Tax Adjustment set forth in the Tax Adjustment Schedule as prepared by Seller, with such adjustments as the parties have agreed to at such time, if any (the “Deposit”). Pursuant to the Election Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit to Seller and/or Purchaser, as applicable, as directed by a joint written instruction from Seller and Purchaser to the Escrow Agent following the agreement of the parties or a determination pursuant to Section 6.1(d); provided, however, that if the parties have not jointly directed the Escrow Agent as to the release of the Deposit no later than five (5) days prior to the due date on which Seller is required to pay the federal income Taxes in respect of the Elections, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately release the Deposit to Seller. If the Deposit is released to Seller prior to agreement by the parties or a determination pursuant to Section 6.1(d), then upon such agreement or determination, (i) Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser, the excess, if any, of the Deposit over the Tax Adjustment amount agreed to by the parties or determined pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or (ii) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the excess, if any, of the Tax Adjustment amount agreed to by the parties or determined pursuant to Section 6.1(d) over the Deposit upon the filing by Seller of its amended Tax Returns and the payment by Seller pursuant thereto to the applicable Governmental Agency.

Section 6.10. Tax Indemnity.

- 70 -

Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, except that any such representations and warranties which by their express terms are made as of a specified earlier date shall be true, correct and complete only as of such specified earlier date, in each case, determined without giving effect to any “materiality” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained in such representations and warranties;

(iv) A Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article IX shall not be diminished or otherwise affected in any way as a result of the existence of such Purchaser Indemnitee’s knowledge of such breach or untruth as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether such knowledge exists as a result of the Purchaser Indemnitee’s investigation or as a result of disclosure by Seller (or any other Person), unless such disclosures were set forth in this Agreement or in any applicable Schedule hereto.

(d) To provide a partial fund against which a Purchaser Indemnitee may assert an Indemnification Claim, at Closing Purchaser shall deposit two million dollars ($2,000,000) of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) into an escrow account (the “Escrow Fund”) as contemplated by the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount, and interest and other earnings payable thereon, shall be held and distributed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Seller shall be the owner of the Escrow Fund for tax purposes, and all parties will file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by Law. All distributions made out of the Escrow Fund shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Amount, or any remaining portion thereof, shall be released from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, one-half (¹/2) of the Escrow Fund shall be paid to Seller (net of any amounts paid to Purchaser out of the Escrow Fund prior to such anniversary and net of any reserves for then pending Indemnification Claims) and (ii) on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”) the remainder of the Escrow Fund shall be paid to Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnification Claim remains outstanding on the Expiration Date, Seller shall maintain in the Escrow Fund the amount of such Indemnification Claim until such time as such Indemnification Claim is resolved in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.3. Indemnification Claims.

Any claim of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any Indemnitee shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and, so long as the Escrow Fund exists, the Escrow Agreement. If any Indemnitee wishes to make an Indemnification Claim pursuant to this Article IX and, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement in

- 72 -

respect of any Damages, such Indemnitee shall give the appropriate indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice thereof within the applicable Survival Period. Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then known the basis for, and amount of Damages related to, such Indemnification Claim. The failure of such Indemnitee to give notice of any Indemnification Claim promptly, but within the applicable Survival Period, shall not adversely affect such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert any reasonable defense to such claim.

Section 9.4. Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party notifies any Indemnitee with respect to any matter which may give rise to an Indemnification Claim against the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, then the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving any written notice from a third party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert any reasonable defense to such Indemnification Claim.

(b) Once the Indemnitee has given notice of the matter to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee may, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s rights to assume the defense of such matter pursuant to Section 9.4(c), defend against the matter in any manner it deems appropriate.

(i) the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnitee against the matter with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice; and

(ii) the Indemnitee may retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of one separate co-counsel for all Indemnitees to the extent the Indemnitee is advised, in writing by its counsel, that either (A) the counsel the Indemnifying Party has selected has a conflict of interest or (B) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are materially different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party).

(d) The Indemnitee shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any matter which may give rise to an Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any matter which may give rise to an Indemnification Claim or enter into any settlement unless, in each case, such judgment or settlement includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases

- 73 -

the Indemnitee from all Liability with respect thereto, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 9.5. Certain Additional Provisions Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX and Article VI shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy available to the parties hereto with respect to the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, or any right or remedy arising by reason of any claim of fraud or intentional misrepresentations or intentional omissions with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(b) All payments by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all foreign, federal, state and local income Tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification related to Taxes, in the event of a conflict between this Article IX and Article VI, Article VI shall govern such indemnification related to Taxes.

(c) Each payment by an Indemnifying Party made pursuant to this Article IX shall be reduced to the extent of any (i) insurance proceeds actually received by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, or (ii) reimbursements or similar payments actually received by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, from a third party with respect to such payment; provided, however, neither Purchaser nor Seller, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to seek any payments from, or take action with respect to, any insurance policies or third parties in lieu of or as a condition to receiving a payment from an Indemnitee under this Article IX and any such action shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnitee be entitled to recover Damages pursuant to this Article IX to the extent that such Damages are accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

ARTICLE X.

- 74 -

that if, as of the initial Outside Date, all conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 shall have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing) other than the condition set forth in Section 7.1(b), then the Outside Date shall be automatically extended by three (3) months; provided, further, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to a party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement materially contributed to the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(g) by Seller, if at any time prior to receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, it concurrently enters into a definitive Contract providing for a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.6(d); provided, however, that prior thereto or

- 75 -

concurrently therewith Seller shall have paid or caused to be paid the Termination Fee to Purchaser in accordance with Section 10.3 (and such termination of this Agreement by Seller shall not take effect unless and until the Termination Fee shall have been paid to Purchaser); or

(h) by Seller, if (i) there shall have occurred any changes, effects, events, occurrences, state of facts or developments that, individually or in the aggregate, have had a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect (unless such Purchaser Material Adverse Effect has been cured with no cost to, ongoing obligations of or impact on Seller), (ii) the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct on and as of the date of such determination as if made on such date and such failure to be true and correct would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a), or (iii) Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform or comply with any obligation, agreement or covenant required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it and such breach or failure to perform or comply would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(b), if in each case under clauses (ii) and (iii) such inaccuracy, breach or failure perform or comply cannot be cured or has not been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after Purchaser receives notice thereof.

(i) (A) by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(b), Section 10.1(d) or Section 10.1(f) and (B) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced prior to the Termination Date (in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(f)) or prior to the Seller Stockholders’ Meeting (in the event of termination pursuant to Section 10.1(d)) and (C) concurrently with such termination or within twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Seller or the Company enters into a definitive Contract to consummate or consummates any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(e); or

(iii) by Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(g);

then Seller shall pay as directed by Purchaser the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, it being understood that in no event shall Seller be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee” shall mean an amount equal to two million eight hundred eighty thousand dollars ($2,880,000) net of any Purchaser Expenses paid by Seller; provided, however, that any amount of Purchaser Expenses paid pursuant to Section 10.3(c) shall be credited dollar for dollar against any obligation of the Company to pay the Termination Fee.

(d) Seller acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that without these agreements Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Seller fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 10.3, and, in order to obtain the payment(s), Purchaser commences a suit which results in a final, non-appealable judgment against Seller for the payment(s) set forth in this Section 10.3, Seller shall pay Purchaser its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

- 77 -

perform hereunder or otherwise, and (ii) upon payment of such amount(s), Seller shall not have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except that Seller shall also be obligated with respect to Section 10.3(d)).

Exhibit 4

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 22 2008, is entered into by and between Getty Images, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and (“Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between Purchaser and Jupitermedia Corporation (“Seller”), a Delaware corporation, Purchaser will purchase from Seller all of the issued and outstanding common stock (the “Transaction”) of Jupiterimages Corporation, an Arizona corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of shares of common stock (“Seller Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of Seller (such shares of Seller Stock (excluding options to acquire shares of Seller Stock but including shares of Seller Stock acquired upon exercise thereof), together with any other shares of Seller Stock (excluding options to acquire shares of Seller Stock but including shares of Seller Stock acquired upon exercise thereof) acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “Stockholder Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement and, in order to induce Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, covenants and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Stockholder and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

(a) Authority. Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Stockholder of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of Stockholder and no further action on the part of Stockholder is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Stockholder of this Agreement or the performance by Stockholder of his obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Stockholder and, assuming due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Purchaser, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be

limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.

(b) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. No consents or approvals of, or filings, declarations or registrations with, any Governmental Agency are necessary for the performance by Stockholder of his obligations under this Agreement, other than such consents, approvals, filings, declarations or registrations that, if not obtained, made or given, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Stockholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder nor the performance by Stockholder of his obligations hereunder will (i) violate any Law or Order applicable to such Stockholder, or (ii) require the consent or other action by any Person under, constitute default under or result in the termination of or a right of termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of, Stockholder under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, permit, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Stockholder is a party, or by which his assets may be bound or affected, except for such violations, conflicts, losses, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations or Liens as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by Stockholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Ownership of Shares. Stockholder owns, beneficially and of record, all of the Stockholder Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other Lien (other than proxies and restrictions in favor of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” Laws of the various states of the United States). Without limiting the foregoing, except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” Laws of the various states of the United States, Stockholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to all Stockholder Shares, with no restrictions on Stockholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than Stockholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any Stockholder Shares. As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 1.1(c), Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, or have the right to acquire, any securities of Seller other than the Stockholder Shares.

(d) Brokers. Except with respect to Seller’s engagement of Merrill Lynch & Co, Inc. as its financial advisor in connection with the Transaction, Stockholder has not engaged, directly or indirectly, any broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person who is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission that is payable by the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

(e) Reliance by Purchaser. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Purchaser is entering into the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

2. Additional Covenants of the Stockholder. Subject to Section 4(a), Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that:

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the stockholders of Seller however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof, Stockholder shall vote all Stockholder Shares (other than Stockholder Shares transferred to Permitted Transferees (as defined below) in accordance with Section 2(c)) or, as appropriate, execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of Seller in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Charter Documents or the certificate or incorporation or bylaws of Seller or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by Stockholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.

(b) Proxy. In order to secure the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement, by entering into this Agreement, such Stockholder hereby irrevocably (subject to the terms of the immediately following sentence) grants a proxy appointing each executive officer of Purchaser as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in his name, to vote, express consent or dissent, or otherwise utilize such voting power solely in the manner contemplated by Section 2(a) as such attorney-in-fact and proxy, in his or her sole discretion, deems proper with respect to such Stockholder Shares. The proxy granted by such Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be revoked upon the earlier of (i) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the provisions of Section 212(e) of the DGCL or (ii) consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Such Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Stockholder Shares for any matters covered by Section 2(a).

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as provided hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement and except for the exercise of any options to purchase shares of Seller Stock (but not the sale of the underlying shares of Seller Stock), such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, any Constructive Disposition (as defined below)), or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Stockholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any Stockholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Stockholder Shares with respect to any matters covered by Section 2(a), (iii) take any action

that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying Stockholder from performing any of his obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2(c). As used herein, the term “Constructive Disposition” means, with respect to any Stockholder Shares, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring an offsetting derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of materially changing the economic benefits and risks of ownership. Any attempted transfer of the Stockholder Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 2(c) shall be null and void. In furtherance of this Agreement, Stockholder shall and hereby does authorize Seller’s and Purchaser’s counsel to notify Seller’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer restriction with respect to all of the Stockholder Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Stockholder Shares); provided, however, that any such stop transfer restriction shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and, upon such event, Purchaser shall notify Seller’s transfer agent of such termination. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit a transfer of any shares of Seller Stock (i) by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or (ii) upon the death of Stockholder; provided, however, that a transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Purchaser, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement (each such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) Stockholder shall not be obligated to exercise any option to purchase shares of Seller Stock and (B) in the event Stockholder does exercise any option to purchase shares of Seller Stock, he may do so on a cashless exercise basis.

(d) No Solicitation. Subject to Section 4(a), Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed and understands Section 5.6 of the Purchase Agreement and hereby agrees from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement that it shall be bound by Section 5.6 of the Purchase Agreement to the same extent as if Stockholder were bound by Seller’s obligations thereunder.

(e) Legends. If requested by Purchaser, Stockholder agrees to cause all certificates representing Stockholder Shares to bear a prominent legend stating that such Stockholder Shares are subject to the transfer, voting and other restrictions described in this Agreement.

3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of this Section 3, Section 4 and Section 1 of this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into by Stockholder in his capacity as owner of the Stockholder Shares and that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit any director or officer of Seller (including, without limitation, Stockholder) from taking any action in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Seller that he or she, in good faith, reasonably believes is necessary for him or her to comply with his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of Seller, including, without limitation, participating in his or her capacity as a director of Seller in any discussions or negotiations of the Purchase Agreement or any other actions, discussions or negotiations permitted under Section 5.6 of the Purchase Agreement, and no such action taken (or omitted to be taken) by Stockholder in any such capacity shall be deemed to constitute a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that Stockholder cannot bind Seller in connection with any matter contemplated hereby, and is not so binding Seller hereunder, without the express written authorization of Seller’s Board of Directors.

(b) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(c) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Stockholder shall promptly notify Purchaser of the number of shares of Seller Stock, if any, as to which Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Any shares of Seller Stock as to which Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof and prior to termination of this Agreement shall be Stockholder Shares for purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the capital structure of Seller affecting the Seller Stock, the number of shares of Seller Stock constituting Stockholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional shares of Seller Stock or other voting securities of Seller issued to Stockholder in connection therewith.

(d) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership.” For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(e) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Purchaser and without further consideration, Stockholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Any party to this Agreement may (i) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other

party hereto or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (ii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Purchaser in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(g) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such state without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law.

(ii) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby accept for themselves and in respect of their property the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in connection with any such action or proceeding. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. Each party hereby consents to process being served in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof to the address set forth in Section 4(j) hereof and agrees that such service upon receipt shall constitute good and sufficient service of process or notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 4(g) shall affect or eliminate any right to serve process in any other matter permitted by Law.

(iii) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(h) Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages may not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

(i) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights hereunder.

(j) Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission), or (iii) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other parties pursuant to this provision):
