Section 7.9       HotPlay Acquisition of Majority Control of HP Thailand; BOI Application.

(a)       The Parties acknowledge that due to legislation in Thailand that restricts foreign investment, the lawful acquisition of the HP Thailand Shares by HotPlay is conditioned upon the grant of a Foreign Business Certificate by MOC, that the grant of a Foreign Business Certificate is subject to the discretion of the MOC officials who review the application, and that the bureaucratic process to obtain the Foreign Business Certificate requires approximately nine to twelve months. Accordingly, until such time as a Foreign Business Certificate may be issued to HP Thailand and HotPlay may be lawfully allowed to acquire ninety nine and eight tenths per cent (99.8%) of the HP Thailand Shares, the Parties shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, proceed as follows:

(b)       Prior to the HP Thailand Deadline, (i) HotPlay shall acquire 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A stock of HP Thailand; and (ii) HP Thailand’s organizational documents shall be lawfully amended, and such other necessary transactions shall be undertaken by HP Thailand (including where necessary, designating preferred stock), HotPlay, the Stockholders, and their representatives, with the result that after such transactions, HotPlay shall hold the HotPlay Preference Interest, and will therefore effectively ‘control’ HP Thailand.

(c)       Notwithstanding the above section (b), HotPlay and the Stockholders shall take such actions which are necessary for HP Thailand to file an application to the BOI for the grant of Investment Promotion, which shall entitle HP Thailand to certain benefits and privileges, including ninety nine and eight tenths per cent (99.8%) foreign ownership if applicable (subject to further permission being granted by the MOC pursuant to a Foreign Business Certificate), of HP Thailand by Monaker following the Closing and HP Thailand shall file an application to the MOC for the issuance of a Foreign Business Certificate, which shall grant formal recognition of Monaker’s indirect ownership interest in HP Thailand following the Closing, in accordance with local legislation in Thailand regarding foreign investment.

Section 7.10 Subsequently Delivered HotPlay Disclosure Schedules. HotPlay and the Stockholders agree and acknowledge that Monaker has delivered the Monaker Disclosure Schedule as of the Parties’ entry into this Agreement. Monaker acknowledges that HotPlay has not delivered its full HotPlay Disclosure Schedule as of the date of this Agreement. HotPlay shall deliver to Monaker a true, accurate and complete copies of the full HotPlay Disclosure Schedule as required pursuant to the introductory paragraph of Article VI above within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement (the “Subsequently Delivered HotPlay Disclosure Schedule”). Within five (5) Business Days following such delivery, Monaker shall provide HotPlay and the Stockholders with written notice (the “Initial Disclosure Objection Notice”) of any concerns or objections to any matters disclosed in the Subsequently Delivered HotPlay Disclosure Schedule, including anything which (A) has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to HotPlay or HP Thailand, (B) results in any representation, warranty or covenant made herein by HotPlay or the Stockholders being materially incorrect or misleading at the time it was made, (C) departs materially, from any written or oral disclosures relating to HotPlay, HP Thailand or the Stockholders (or their financial statements, liabilities, agreements, litigation, assets, operations or prospects) which has been provided by HotPlay or the Stockholders, or their representatives, to Monaker or its representatives, prior to the date of this Agreement, or (D) materially affects the ability of HotPlay or the Stockholders to complete the transactions contemplated herein. Upon receipt of an Initial Disclosure Objection Notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve those matters raised in the Initial Disclosure Objection Notice, including amendments to this Agreement as agreed to and to the extent warranted and deemed necessary by Monaker. If, after good faith negotiations, the Parties are unable to resolve those matters raised in the Initial Disclosure Objection Notice no later than twenty (20) days from the Initial Disclosure Objection Notice (the “Disclosure Schedule Cure Period”), this Agreement may be terminated by Monaker as set forth in Section 10.1(g) hereof. If Monaker does not provide an Initial Disclosure Objection Notice within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the Subsequently Delivered HotPlay Disclosure Schedule, Monaker will be deemed to have waived any objection to that specific matter disclosed in the Subsequently Delivered HotPlay Disclosure Schedule, unless such disclosure is discovered or uncovered later to be false or misleading in any material respect, effective as of such date.

In no event shall any such claim be settled without the Indemnitor’s consent.

(a)        The Parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another Person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless (i) such information is already known to such Party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such Party; (ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any required filing with the SEC, or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

Such notices shall be sent to the applicable party or Parties at the address specified below, subject to notice of changes thereof from any party with at least ten (10) business days’ notice to the other Parties.  If any notice, demand, consent, request, instruction or other communication cannot be delivered because of a changed address of which no notice was given (in accordance with this Section 12.3), or the refusal to accept same, the notice, demand, consent, request, instruction or other communication shall be deemed received on the second Business Day the notice is sent (as evidenced by a sworn affidavit of the sender).  All such notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and other communications will be sent to the following physical and email addresses as applicable:

Section 12.5      Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not alternative.  Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Parties; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such amendment is sought, provided that Section 8.3 may only be amended after the Closing as set forth in Section 8.3.

Section 12.7      Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.  Except as set forth in Article XI hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 12.8      Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.  Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 12.9      Section Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation.  All references to “Article” or “Articles” or “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Article or Articles or Section or Sections of this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Section 12.10   Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” shall mean including without limitation.  The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.  If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of such representation, warranty, or covenant.  All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.

Section 12.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic delivery, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile, electronic copy, or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

Section 12.12    Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached.  Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the U.S. or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 12.13 below), in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at Law or in equity. 

Section 12.13    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of Laws principles.  Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Broward County, Florida, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court.  Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto.  Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.3.  Nothing in this Section 12.13, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity.  Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

Section 12.14    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(a)         Monaker has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”).

(b)         As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports and any registration statements filed by Monaker under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statements”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports or Registration Statements, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a 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. All material Contracts to which Monaker is a party or to which the property or assets of Monaker are subject have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Reports and the Registration Statements as and to the extent required under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable. The financial statements of Monaker included in the SEC Reports and the Registration Statements comply in all respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto, or, in the case of unaudited statements as permitted by Form 10-Q), and fairly present in all material respects (subject in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring audit adjustments) the financial position of Monaker as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The disclosure set forth in the SEC Reports and Registration Statements regarding Monaker’s business is current and complete and accurately reflects operations of Monaker as it exists as of the date hereof.

Monaker has established disclosure controls and procedures for Monaker and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Monaker is made known to the officers by others within Monaker. Monaker’s officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Monaker’s controls and procedures.

(a)         The Parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another Person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless (i) such information is already known to such Party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such Party; (ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any required filing with the SEC, or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

If, in the absence of a protective Order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the providing party, the disclosing party is nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel, legally compelled to disclose the information of the providing party, the disclosing party may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the providing party’s information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the disclosing party exercises its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the providing party’s information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the providing party to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other relief assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the providing party’s information.

Such notices shall be sent to the applicable party or parties at the address specified below, subject to notice of changes thereof from any party with at least ten (10) business days’ notice to the other parties.

Section 12.5       Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not alternative.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Parties; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 12.6       Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such amendment is sought.

Section 12.7       Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Except as set forth in Article XI hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 12.8       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 12.9       Section Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Article” or “Articles” or “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Article or Articles or Section or Sections of this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Section 12.10     Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of such representation, warranty, or covenant. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.

Section 12.11     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic delivery, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile, electronic copy, or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

Section 12.12     Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the U.S. or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 12.13 below), in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

Section 12.13    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of Laws principles. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Broward County, Florida, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.3. Nothing in this Section 12.13, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

Section 12.14    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 12.15      Review and Construction of Documents. Each Party herein expressly represents and warrants to all other Parties hereto that (a) before executing this Agreement, said Party has fully informed itself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; (b) said Party has relied solely and completely upon its own judgment in executing this Agreement; (c) said Party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of its own legal, tax and business advisors before executing this Agreement; (d) said Party has acted voluntarily and of its own free will in executing this Agreement; and (e) this Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the Parties and their respective counsel.
