12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

After the Distribution Date, the Company was no longer included in Monster’s consolidated group for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. The Company and Monster entered into a tax separation agreement to reflect the Company’s separation from Monster with respect to tax matters. The primary purpose of the tax separation agreement is to reflect each party’s rights and obligations relating to payments and refunds of taxes that are attributable to periods before and including the Distribution date and any taxes resulting from transactions in connection with the Distribution. The Company has agreed to indemnify Monster for any tax liability attributable to the Distribution resulting from any action taken by the Company.
