Marcelo Letter Agreement

On February 3, 2020, the Company, Ms. Marcelo, and IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Marcelo Letter Agreement”) whereby, among other things, Ms. Marcelo, the Company and IAC acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Transition Agreement was terminated and of no continuing force or effect as of February 3, 2020 and that Ms. Marcelo will have no rights under the Transition Agreement; (ii) Ms. Marcelo’s resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and termination of employment with the Company will be effective as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by the Company, IAC and Buzz Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which IAC has made a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ( the “Tender Offer”) immediately after which, upon satisfaction of certain conditions of the Tender Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (the “Merger”); (iii) Ms. Marcelo’s resignation and termination will constitute a qualifying termination under Ms. Marcelo’s executive severance agreement with the Company, dated July 19, 2017 (the “Marcelo Severance Agreement”), and, subject to Ms. Marcelo’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, Ms. Marcelo will be entitled to receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in the Marcelo Severance Agreement (assuming a base salary of $485,000 and a target annual bonus of $485,000 for purposes of calculating such severance payments and benefits), payable in accordance with the schedule that was provided under the Transition Agreement prior to its termination; and (iv) the Company will pay the reasonable legal fees (not to exceed $25,000) of Ms. Marcelo’s counsel with respect to their help in preparing the Marcelo Letter Agreement. The Marcelo Letter Agreement will be null and void if the closing of the Merger does not occur.

Executive Severance Agreement with Michael Goss

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into an executive severance agreement with Michael Goss, the Company’s acting Chief Financial Officer (the “Severance Agreement”). Under the terms of the Severance Agreement, upon a qualifying termination, Mr. Goss will be eligible to receive (a) continued payment of his then-current base salary for a period of six months following the qualifying termination, payable in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices and (b) payment of continued healthcare insurance premiums for a period of up to six months. In addition, Mr. Goss will be entitled to receive accrued and earned, but unpaid, remuneration due to him through the date of his qualifying termination, including, without limitation, earned but unpaid salary, accrued but unpaid time off, other amounts or benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements and earned but unpaid annual bonus for the year immediately prior to the qualifying termination (provided that, Mr. Goss will not receive any cash bonus amount in respect of the 2019 performance year).

The foregoing severance payments and benefits are subject to Mr. Goss’s continued compliance with restrictive covenants and his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates. Mr. Goss is subject to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicit covenants pursuant to which he has agreed to refrain from disclosing the Company’s proprietary information in perpetuity and from competing with the Company or soliciting the Company’s clients, customers or employees for a period of 12 months following termination of his employment. The severance payments and benefits for Mr. Goss are also subject to reduction to the extent necessary to avoid application of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code if the reduction results in his retaining a greater amount of benefits on an after-tax basis.

The foregoing description of the Severance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
