Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to retain Existing Customers and New Customers through September 30, 1998 and to keep all website and advertising relationships intact through September 30, 1998 and thereby avoid a Purchase Price Reduction. (f) The Purchase Price Reduction shall be payable in cash or in shares of Purchaser's capital stock, at the option of Seller. If all or a portion of the Purchase Price Reduction is payable in Shares prior to the Purchaser's initial public offering, the Shares shall be valued at $1,000 per share.

EX-10.68th Page of 18TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
independent auditors will be permitted to review Purchaser's documentation relating to such Notice (and Purchaser and its representatives will provide reasonable cooperation in such review). Such Notice shall become final and binding upon the parties on the thirtieth day following receipt thereof by Seller unless Seller gives written notice of any disagreement ("Notice of Disagreement") to Purchaser prior to such date. The Notice of Disagreement (if any) shall specify in reasonable and sufficient detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Notice (as revised in accordance with clause (x) or (y) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (x) the date the parties hereto resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (y) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Arbitrator (as defined below). During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30- day period, Seller and Purchaser have not reached agreement on such matters, the matters which remain in dispute shall be submitted to an arbitrator jointly selected by the parties (the "Arbitrator") for review and resolution in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association in New York City.

Purchaser shall assume liability for all workers' compensation claims for industrial injuries and illnesses, and any and all claims and liabilities, occurring after the Closing Date in respect to the Transferred Employees. Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser's benefit plans, subject to any limits or exclusions imposed by the applicable insurance company, such as exclusions for pre-existing conditions. 2.5 Intellectual Property.
