Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors of Xoom receives a Takeover Proposal without having violated Section 5.5(a) hereof, the Board of Directors of Xoom may, prior to obtaining -------------- the Xoom Stockholder Approval, to the extent it determines in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel that such action is required to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable law, take any action specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above with respect to such Takeover Proposal, but in each case only (x) at a time that is at least five (5) business days after receipt by NBC of written notice from Xoom advising NBC that the Board of Directors of Xoom has resolved to take such action and (y) if Xoom simultaneously therewith terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g) -------------- hereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Xoom or its board of directors from complying with Rules 14D-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to any Takeover Proposal.

As used herein, "Takeover Proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or ----------------- offer from any Person relating to (A) any of the matters set forth in clause (i) of the definition of Material Transaction Proposal but replacing "20%" with "50%" each place "20%" is used in such definition, (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Xoom and its Subsidiaries or (C) a merger or consolidation of Xoom as a result of which the stockholders of Xoom immediately prior to such transaction would not beneficially own immediately after such transaction 50% or more of the resulting or surviving entity (or the parent thereof). (d) The parties acknowledge that there may be no adequate remedy at law for a breach of Section 5.5 and that money damages may not be an adequate ----------- remedy for breach of such Section. Therefore, the parties agree that NBC and Xoom each shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to injunctive relief and specific performance in the event of any breach of this Section 5.5. The remedy set forth in the preceding two sentences is cumulative ----------- and shall in no way limit any other remedy any party hereto has at law, in equity or pursuant hereto. 5.6 Non-Solicitation of Employees.

If no later than five business days prior to ----------------------- the Closing Date, Xoom, Xenon 2, NBC, SNAP or GE Investments Sub becomes aware of any fact or circumstance (whether or not it existed prior to the date hereof) which would make any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such party untrue, then such party shall be permitted to amend any Schedule to this Agreement so as to identify such fact or circumstance to the extent necessary to make such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement true and correct; provided that if any such amendment, individually or in the aggregate with all -------- such other amendments, discloses facts and circumstances that constitute a Material Adverse Effect, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the other party (which shall be Xoom in the case of amendments by NBC, SNAP or GE Investments Sub and shall be NBC in the case of amendments by Xoom or Xenon 2) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

Such payment will be due (subject to a ten business-day grace period) when, as, and to the extent the Taxpayer derives an actual benefit (in the form of any refund, reduction in Tax liability, or otherwise) as the result of such excess. If any payment required under this Section 6.12(a) for any Post-Closing Tax Period is not made --------------- on or before the due date (without extensions) of the return of such period, then such payment will be made together with interest at the rate per annum determined from time to time under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code compounded daily for the period from such due date to the date on which the payment is actually made. (b) In addition, Xenon 2 will pay to NBC, no later than ten business days after each date on which the Taxpayer receives a refund of federal, state or local Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the excess of such refunds over such refunds to which the Taxpayer would have been entitled had the positions described in Section 6.11(b) been sustained (and had Xenon 2 not been required --------------- to make any payments under this Section 6.12). If any payment required under ------------ this Section 6.12(b) is not made on or before the date such payment is due, then --------------- such payment will be made together with interest at the rate per annum determined from time to time 56 under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code compounded daily for the period from the date such payment was due to the date on which such payment is actually made. (c) In the event of any adjustment to the Taxpayer's liability for federal, state or local Taxes or entitlement to a refund, as a result of audit, carryover, or otherwise, the amounts previously payable under this Section 6.12 ------------ will be appropriately adjusted and Xenon 2 or NBC, as the case may be, will pay to the other the amount, required as a result of such adjustment, together with interest at the rate per annum determined from time to time under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code compounded daily for the period from the original payment date affected by the adjustment to the date on which the payment is made. At the time of any payment under this Section 6.12 (or at the request of NBC if ------------ Xenon 2 has determined that no payment is due), Xenon 2 will submit a schedule showing in reasonable detail its calculation of the payment to be made (or the basis for its determination that no payment is due). Any dispute concerning the calculation of payments due under this Section 6.12 will be resolved by the ------------ Independent Accountants. (d) Any payment to NBC under this Section 6.12 will be allocated ------------ between principal and interest for purposes of Section 483, Section 1273, and any other relevant provision of the Code by using as a discount rate the rate per annum determined from time to time under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code compounded daily for the period from the date of Closing to the date on which the payment is made. The portion of any such payment created as principal will be treated as additional exchange consideration. Any payment to Xenon 2 under this Section 6.12 (other than interest) will be treated as a reduction of the ------------ exchange consideration.
