In no event shall either the Purchaser or the Sellers be required to use or produce information that is not directly relevant to resolving the objection reflected in the Objection. No Accounting Arbitrator engagement letter shall modify the terms of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in any information of the Purchaser or its Affiliates, the Purchaser may redact proprietary and/or confidential information (including designate customers, purchasers or any other business partners, or products, by code numbers/code names (without disclosing any names)), unless the Accounting Arbitrator determines that such information is reasonably required thereby to reach a resolution, in which case the Accounting Arbitrator shall be provided with such redacted information.
 
19

(8)           As used herein, the term “Final Adjustment Statement” means (i) the Estimated Adjustment Statement if the Purchaser does not deliver an Objection in accordance with this subsection (d); (ii) if the Purchaser delivers an Objection and all of the disputed items are resolved by mutual agreement, the Estimated Adjustment Statement, as amended, if necessary, to reflect such resolution of all disputes; or (iii) if any Objections are submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Estimated Adjustment Statement, as amended, if necessary, to reflect any resolution of any disputes by agreement of the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative and the resolution of all other disputes as determined by the Accounting Arbitrator.
 
(9)          If the Closing Payment together with the Realized Closing Working Capital Balance as would have been calculated to the extent that the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and Closing Working Capital Balance set forth on the Final Adjustment Statement would have been applied at the Closing is higher than the Closing Payment as actually calculated at the Closing and the actual Realized Closing Working Capital Balance determined on the Working Capital Adjustment Date based on the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and the Closing Working Capital Balance set forth on the Estimated Adjustment Statement, then the Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Sellers, in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, the balance between such amounts.
 
(10)          If the Closing Payment together with the Realized Closing Working Capital Balance as would have been calculated using the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and Closing Working Capital Balance set forth on the Final Adjustment Statement is lower than the Closing Payment as actually calculated at the Closing and the actual Realized Closing Working Capital Balance determined on the Working Capital Adjustment Date based on the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and the Closing Working Capital Balance set forth on the Estimated Adjustment Statement (the difference between such amounts, the “Adjustment Shortfall Amount”), then the Sellers shall, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Purchaser in cash by wire transfer the Adjustment Shortfall Amount, with each Seller responsible for wiring such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of such amount. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Purchaser may at any time recover the Adjustment Shortfall Amount due and payable, to the extent not reimbursed by the Sellers as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, by recovering such amount from the Escrow Fund, or by setting-off any other amounts payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 12.11.  For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that any account receivable is paid and satisfied in cash shall not by itself be deemed to indicate that such account receivable is properly included in the Closing Working Capital Balance.
 
(11)          Nothing in this Section 2.02(d) will be deemed to limit the indemnification rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in accordance with Article X; provided that any amount paid to the Purchaser as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall not be deemed as a Loss and shall not be claimed by the Purchaser pursuant to Article X.

65

(ii)          During the Noncompete Period, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, not to, (including, without limitation, through its respective Affiliates and any director, officer, employee, agent or consultant thereof or of its respective Affiliates) (1) encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any officer, director, manager, consultant or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) to leave the employ of the Company Group; (2) hire or employ any Person who is at such time, is currently or was during the then-immediately preceding six (6) month period an officer, director, manager, consultant or employee of the Company Group; (3) call on, solicit, or service any customer, supplier, distributor, reseller, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company Group with respect to products or services that have been provided by the Company Group, are currently being provided by the Company Group, or which the Company Group is currently in the process of developing or negotiating; or (4) encourage, induce or solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any customer, supplier, distributor, reseller, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company Group to cease doing business with or reducing its business activity with the Company Group. Under no circumstance shall the Key Persons work together during the Non-Compete Period, either as partners, employers, or employees of one another or otherwise, except as employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Purchaser, provided that, without limitation to their obligations hereunder (including their non-compete obligations and non-solicit obligations with respect to any person other than the other Seller), solely with respect to the undertaking of Sellers not to work together, the following provisions shall apply: the Sellers undertaking not to work together shall expire at the expiration of the period of twenty four (24) months following the Closing, provided that, in the event that one of the Sellers is terminated by the Purchaser (for clarity, not by the other Seller), other than for Cause, then such Sellers undertaking not to work together shall expire at the expiration of a period of six (6) months following the effective date of such cessation of employee-employer relationship between such Seller and the Company.
 
(iii)          During the Noncompete Period, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to (including through its respective Affiliates and including through any director, officer, employee, agent or consultant thereof or of their respective Affiliates, or through or with the participation of any Third Party), intentionally or negligently cause any harm to the Company Group's business or to their reputation in the market and not to make any public remarks which are negative or disparaging, about the Company Group or its respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders, products, services or business, including not stating or alleging that the technologies or products of the Company, as then conducted or proposed to be conducted, are defective, fail to perform or comply with any relevant standards, are inferior, non-competitive, or generally unsatisfactory.
 
(iv)          From and after the date hereof, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its respective Representatives, not to disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person, or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than the Purchaser, any Confidential Information.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “Confidential Information” does not include information that (1) is in the public domain at the Closing Date, or subsequently becomes so through no fault of any Seller; (2) is furnished to any Seller and/or each of their respective Representatives (as the case may be) by a third party having a lawful right to do so; or (3) was explicitly approved for release by written authorization of the Purchaser.  The Sellers and each of their respective Representatives shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is in response to a valid order of a court or other Governmental Authority, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such order, provided, however, that such Seller or any of its Representatives (as the case may be) shall, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably possible, first notify the Purchaser in writing of the order, and permit the Purchaser to seek an appropriate protective order or other protection in respect of such required disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible while still complying with such requirements. Each Seller shall use all reasonable care to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

(c)          The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 7.06(a) relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 7.06(a) may cause irreparable injury to the Company Group (and their successors, assigns and any third-party beneficiary), the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.  Therefore, the Company Group (and their its successors, assigns and any third-party beneficiary) may be entitled to seek, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor under Applicable Law or in equity, an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Section 7.06(a).
 
(d)          If at any time a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator’s award holds that the restrictions in this Section 7.06(a) are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, or that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 7.06(a) is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area or any other relevant feature and may then be enforced against the applicable party.

(3)          Materiality and Knowledge standards or qualifications, and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation shall only be taken into account in determining whether a breach of or default in connection with such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation (or failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct) exists, and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Losses with respect to such breach, default or failure to be true and correct.

(1)            with respect to Indemnifiable Matters under Section 10.02(a)(1)(i) (Company Representations) (other than those which arise from any breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations), or under Section 10.02(a)(1)(x) (Misclassification of Employees), (i) with respect to any Claim Certificate submitted on or prior to (and inclusive of) the Cap Step Down Date, an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Consideration paid or due to be paid (including any Additional Payments or Earnout Payments due and payable or that, upon becoming so, become due and payable but excluding any amounts paid or payable as Realized Closing Working Capital Balance) (so if, for example, an aggregate amount of US$70,000,000 is actually paid under this Agreement, then this cap with respect to a Claim Certificate submitted on or prior to the Cap Step Down Date shall be US$14,000,000), and (ii) with respect to any Claim Certificate submitted following the Cap Step Down Date, the greater of (A)  twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Consideration paid on or prior to the Cap Step Down Date (disregarding any permitted set off pursuant to Section 12.11 for the purpose of determining the amount of payments of Aggregate Consideration made in this section and excluding any amounts paid or payable as Realized Closing Working Capital Balance), and (B) fifteen percent (15%) of the Aggregate Consideration paid or due to be paid (including any Additional Payments or Earnout Payments due and payable or that, upon becoming so, subsequently become due and payable but excluding any amounts paid or payable as Realized Closing Working Capital Balance);
 
73

(2)          with respect to Indemnifiable Matters to the extent they arise from: (i) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.16 (Intellectual Property), or (ii) under Section 10.02(1)(vii) (Key Counterparty Contracts) or Section 10.02(a)(ix) (Cookies and Data Standards Fines)(1)(viii) thirty-five percent (35)% of the Aggregate Consideration paid or due to be paid (including any Additional Payments or Earnout Payments due and payable or that, upon becoming so, become due and payable but excluding any amounts paid or payable as Realized Closing Working Capital Balance);) minus any amounts paid under sub-Section 10.02(b)(1);

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing shall prevent or restrict a Purchaser Indemnified Party from seeking (A) injunctive or other equitable relief to enjoin the breach, or threatened breach, of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (B) specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and (C) declaratory relief with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction Document.
 
(d)          Allocation of Losses.  Indemnification by the Sellers will be several and not joint, and, other than pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(2), shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with each such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion.  Indemnification of a specific Seller pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(2) shall be borne solely by such Seller, provided that a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to deduct the full amount of Loss indemnified under Section 10.02(a)(2) from the Escrow Funds, regardless of the allocation of such Losses between the Sellers.
 
(e)          Basket.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sellers shall not be liable for any Losses arising under Section 10.02(a)(1)(i) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations or Fraud) or Section 10.02(a)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $350,000; provided, that for Losses arising from Publication Matters, such figure shall be $200,000 (collectively the “Basket”), and if the aggregate amount of any Losses exceeds the Basket, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses, disregarding the Basket, from the first dollar.

(f)          Except in the case of set off permitted hereunder (which shall be permitted as otherwise provided herein notwithstanding that there is a balance in the Escrow Fund available with respect to such indemnification obligations), the Escrow Fund will be the Purchaser's first recourse with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Sellers.
 
(g)          Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto hereby agree that, except with respect to claims of Fraud, the remedies set forth by this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any matter based upon, resulting from, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Other remedies or recourse of any kind or nature, in contract, tort or otherwise, are hereby irrevocably waived.
 
(h)          None of Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified more than once for the same Losses suffered regardless, of whether such Loss may be attributed to more than one indemnity, breach of several paragraphs of the representations and warranties or the breach of the default in connection with several covenants or obligations herein.
 
74

Section 10.03     Claims and Procedures.
 
(a)          Claim Certificate.  If any Purchaser Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification, or if it becomes aware of any facts or circumstances which may reasonably be expected to result in indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Article X, the Purchaser may deliver to the Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent (to the extent the Losses are to be sought from the Escrow Fund) a notice (a “Claim Certificate”). The Claim Certificate shall, to the extent possible (solely based upon the information then known to Purchaser), contain a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of Losses (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by Purchaser Indemnified Party from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”) and a reasonably detailed description of the material facts giving rise to such claim. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Survival Period shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby.
 
(b)          Retained Amounts.
 
(1)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for Losses (or any other amount due to Purchaser) prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may recover such Losses from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  Such portion of the Escrow Fund as may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate delivered prior to expiration of the Escrow Period (“Unresolved Claims”) shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims for Losses have been resolved or satisfied.  The remaining applicable portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, shall be released by the Escrow Agent for payment to the Sellers no later than five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Escrow Period or after the final resolution of such Unresolved Claim as applicable. At such time, the Escrow Agent shall (and, if necessary, Purchaser and the Seller Representatives shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to act accordingly) release from the Escrow Fund to each Seller the applicable portion thereof according to its Pro Rata Portion.
 
(2)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the case of any Claimed Amount relating to a Third Party Claim has been retained in the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.03(b)(1), or has been set off by the Purchaser and that (i) has not become the subject of an actual Proceeding by such Third Party, and (ii) has not been the subject of written correspondence (actually received by a party to this Agreement) from the third party initiating such Third Party Claim (or such third party’s attorney or representative) for a period of twenty-four (24) months, then either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative shall at such time be entitled to (x) seek a declaratory judgment against such third party with respect to the Third Party Claim, and/or (y) refer such matter to arbitration under Section 12.05 for the purposes of determining the amount that may reasonably be retained in the  Escrow Fund with respect to such Third Party Claim (and provided that any such determination under this sub-clause (y) shall relate solely to the reasonableness of retaining monies in the Escrow Fund and shall not release or reduce the liability of the Sellers with respect to the applicable Third Party Claim itself).
 
(c)          Dispute Procedure.  During the thirty (30) day period commencing upon the date that notice is deemed duly given to the Sellers’ Representative of a Claim Certificate (the “Dispute Period”), the Sellers’ Representative may deliver to the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent (to the extent the Losses are to be sought from the Escrow Fund) a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Sellers’ Representative: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owing to the Purchaser Indemnified Party.  Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owing to the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the “Contested Amount”.  The Escrow Agent will be authorized to disburse out of the Escrow Fund to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties such amounts specified in one or more Claim Certificates for which no Response Notice has been timely received by the Escrow Agent (regardless of whether such disbursement would reduce the Escrow Fund to an amount less than the amount subject to all Response Notices which have been timely received by the Escrow Agent).
 
75

(d)          Payment of Claimed Amount.  If the Sellers’ Representative delivers a Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, then such Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as the case may be, shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the respective Purchaser Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Response Notice and shall make delivery of cash to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Fund. In the event that the amounts deposited in the Escrow Fund are insufficient, and indemnification hereunder is not limited to the Escrow Fund, each Seller shall within ten (10) Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, pay such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as the case may be, to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, in excess of the recovery from the Escrow Fund.
 
(e)          Resolution between the Parties.  If the Sellers’ Representative delivers a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount.  If the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers and the Purchaser and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, and the provisions of sub-Section (d) above relating to release and payment of the Agreed Amount shall apply to the Stipulated Amount. If within forty five (45) days after receipt by the Purchaser of such Sellers' Response Notice, and after good faith negotiations, the parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to any disputed items of Losses set forth in a Claim Certificate, either the Purchaser Indemnifying Party or the Sellers Representative may submit any such dispute for resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.05 hereof.
 
Section 10.04     Defense of Third-Party Claims.
 
In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding with respect to which any Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X (a “Third Party Claim”), the Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own.  If the Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such Third Party Claim:
 
(a)          each Seller and the Sellers’ Representative shall make available to the Purchaser any documents, materials and other information in their possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding; and
 
(b)          the Purchaser shall control the defense of each Third Party Claim, and the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to participate at the expense of the Sellers in any litigation, negotiation of settlement, adjustment or compromise with respect to any such Third Party Claim. In connection with such participation by the Sellers Representation, (A) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify, keep informed, consult, cooperate with and provide regular updates to the Sellers Representative in respect of all material steps taken and developments relating to such Third Party Claim; and (B) Purchaser shall afford the Seller Representative and its advisors and representatives, reasonable access to any documents or other information relating to the Third Party Claim for purposes of the Sellers’ Representative’s participation in the Third Party Claim; provided that the Sellers and any such advisors and representatives shall, if requested by the Purchaser, first execute the Purchaser’s standard confidentiality agreement in favor of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, which shall contain an undertaking to maintain strict confidentiality regarding any relevant document or information, and provided further that the Purchaser shall not be required to share or provide any information if such provision would result in the loss of any privilege in respect of such information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to settle, adjust or compromise any such Third Party Claim and to consent to the entry of any judgement; provided, however, that if the Purchaser settles, adjusts, compromises or consents to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be determinative of the amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with such claim or Proceeding (it being understood that if the Purchaser requests that the Sellers’ Representative consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Sellers’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent) and (ii) any amount of such settlement in excess of amounts consented to by the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed Contested Amounts.
 
76

(c)          The Purchaser shall give the Sellers’ Representative, a prompt notice of the commencement of any Third Party Claim against any Purchaser Indemnified Party and provide information reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative and not subject to attorney‑client privilege of the Purchaser or Purchaser’s Indemnified Parties relating to such claim.  If the Purchaser does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such Proceeding, the Sellers’ Representative or the Sellers may proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative or the Sellers may not settle, adjust or compromise any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent, may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in respect of any settlement for damages only, where such damages, together with the aggregate value of all Claimed Amounts at such time, do not exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund available at such time).
 
Section 10.05     No Contribution.

In the case of an item of “KPI” identified in such table as “>70%”, the item shall be treated as having been achieved if the Parent concludes in such determination that at least 70% of the 2021 KPI Target has been satisfied.
