(b)The Company shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the CCC and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the CCC.

On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Date”), Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release any remaining Indemnity Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent, and, in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any indemnifiable claims have been brought in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and are unresolved as of the Indemnity Escrow Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the amount of such Unresolved Claim until such claim is fully resolved in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth herein. Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be held by Escrow Agent for purposes of payment to Buyer in satisfaction of any amounts payable to Buyer as required by Section 2.17(b)(iv), if any, and to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.17(b)(iii), Section 2.17(b)(iv) or Section 2.17(b)(v), as applicable. Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Adjustment Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.
2.10Specified Matters Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at the Closing, Buyer shall withhold from the cash amount otherwise payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c) and/or Section 2.6(d)(i) such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Special Matters Escrow Amount and shall deposit an amount of cash equal to the Specified Matters Escrow Amount in immediately available funds into a non-interest bearing escrow account, such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the “Specified Matters Escrow Fund”). The Specified Matters Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent for purposes of the payment to Buyer in satisfaction of any indemnification or other claims of any Buyer Indemnified Party required by Section 8, if any, and to the Company Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. On the date that is the 18-month anniversary of the Closing (the “Specified Matters Early Release Date”), Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Specified Matters Early Release Amount, if any, to the Exchange Agent, and, in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. On the date that is the three-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Specified Matters Release Date”), Buyer and
27



the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release any remaining Specified Matters Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent, and, in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any indemnifiable claims have been brought in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and are unresolved as of the Specified Matters Escrow Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the amount of such Unresolved Claim until such claim is fully resolved in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth herein. Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Specified Matters Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Specified Matters Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Schedule of Indebtedness, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the amounts of all such unpaid Indebtedness for borrowed money (including the identity of each lender, dollar amounts, wire instructions and any other information necessary for Buyer to effect the final payment in full thereof) and indicating that upon receipt of such amounts that all such Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.

2.13Expense Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at the Closing, Buyer shall withhold from the cash amount otherwise payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c) and/or Section 2.6(d)(i) such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Expense Fund and will wire to the Securityholders’ Representative $150,000 (the “Expense Fund”), which will be held by the Securityholders’ Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Company Securityholders in a segregated client account and which will be used: (i) for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Representative for, any Securityholders’ Representative Expenses, as defined herein, pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Securityholders’ Representative will hold the Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make it available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Securityholders’ Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders. As soon as practicable following
28



the completion of the Securityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Securityholders’ Representative will deliver the remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent, and in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. For income tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Securityholders at Closing. The Securityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder except as required by applicable Law.
2.14Payment for Securities; Exchange Mechanics.
(a)On or prior to the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall appoint a national bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the First Merger. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall make, or cause to be made, deposits of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration (which shall be comprised of such proportions of cash and Buyer Common Stock to enable the payment of the total Adjusted Aggregate Consideration and the total Per Vested Company Option Consideration to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof) to the Exchange Agent.
(b)As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each holder of Vested Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet, (i) in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or the Company and who are to receive their portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration from Buyer, an Optionholder Joinder Agreement, (ii) in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are not subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or the Company and who are to receive their portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration from the Exchange Agent, an optionholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Optionholder Letter of Transmittal”) and an Optionholder Joinder Agreement. As soon as commercially practicable after the Closing Date and upon receipt by the Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, of such Optionholder Letter of Transmittal and Optionholder Joinder Agreement, Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to such holder of Vested Company Options who is not subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, in exchange therefor, the Per Vested Company Option Consideration in respect of such Vested Company Options so surrendered for cancellation by such holder, and Buyer shall cause to be paid through the Final Surviving Entity’s payroll practices as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, no later than the first (1st) applicable regularly scheduled payroll distribution following the Closing Date), to such holder of Vested Company Options who is subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, in exchange therefor, the Per Vested Company Option Consideration in respect of such Vested Company Options so surrendered for cancellation by such holder. No portion of the Per Vested Company Option Consideration or the Additional Per Vested Company Option Consideration, shall be delivered to the holder of any Vested Company Option, as the case may be, until the holder of record of such Vested Company Option shall have delivered to the
29



Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, the Optionholder Letter of Transmittal and the Optionholder Joinder Agreement.
(c)As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise deliver to (A) each Company Stockholder a stockholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal”) and a Stockholder Joinder, to extent not already signed and received by the Company, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet and (B) each Company Warrantholder a warrantholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Warrantholder Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal and the Optionholder Letter of Transmittal, the “Letters of Transmittal”) and a Warrantholder Joinder, in each case, to the extent not already sign and received by the Company, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet. Following delivery of a duly completed and validly executed Stockholder Letter of Transmittal by a Company Stockholder, the electronic certificates administered by Carta, Inc. representing such Company’s Stockholder’s shares of the Company Capital Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) shall be deemed surrendered. Upon surrender (or deemed surrender) of the Company Stock Certificates and the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, shall deliver to the holder of such Company Stock Certificates, the consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(b) in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock so surrendered for cancellation by such holder. The Company Stock Certificates so surrendered (or deemed surrendered) shall be canceled. Until so surrendered (or deemed surrendered), after the Effective Time, subject to appraisal rights under the CCC, each Company Stock Certificate will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Section 2. No portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration shall be paid to any Company Stockholder that has not surrendered (or been deemed to have surrendered) his, her or its Company Stock Certificate until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender (or be deemed to have surrendered) such Company Stock Certificate and the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal pursuant hereto.
(d)Return of Adjusted Aggregate Consideration. Any portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration that becomes due and payable to the Company Securityholders and remains unclaimed by the former holders of the Company Capital Stock, holders of In-the-Money Warrants or holders of Vested Company Options for one (1) year after (i) in the case of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration, the Effective Time and (ii) in the case of the Aggregate Additional Consideration, the date on which such Aggregate Additional Consideration becomes due and payable to the Company Securityholders, shall be delivered to Buyer. Any former holder of Company Capital Stock or In-the-Money Warrants or holder of Company Options that has not complied with Section 2.14 prior to the end of such one-year period shall thereafter look only to Buyer (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) but only as a general creditor thereof for payment of its claim for its portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration. Any portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration that remains unclaimed immediately prior to the date on which it would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Buyer, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereof. No interest shall be payable for any shares of Buyer Common Stock delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) or
30



cash which is subsequently delivered to any former holder of Company Capital Stock or In-the-Money Warrants or holder of Company Options.
(e)No Further Rights in the Company Capital Stock. The portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration paid or payable in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares and there shall be no further registration of transfer on the records of the Final Surviving Entity of such shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented (or deemed presented) to the Final Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.14.
(f)Lost Certificates or Documentation. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate or documents to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent or the Final Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or document, the applicable portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration to which such Person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6.
(g)No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued in exchange for any Company Capital Stock, and no holder of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock. In the event that any holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable to such holder), then (i) if the fractional share would have been half a share or greater, then (A) the proportion of consideration payable to such holder in Buyer Common Stock shall be increased by an amount determined by multiplying (1) the Buyer Stock Price by (2) the remaining fraction of a share necessary to make a full share and (B) the proportion of consideration payable to such holder in cash shall be decreased by the same amount and (ii) if the fractional share would have been less than half a share, then such holder shall be paid an amount in Dollars (without interest) determined by multiplying (A) the Buyer Stock Price by (B) the fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, in which case Buyer shall make available to the Exchange Agent the amount of cash necessary to make such payments. The parties acknowledge that adjustments in lieu of issuing fractional shares contemplated hereby were not separately bargained for consideration but represent merely a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the problems that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock.
2.15Withholding Taxes.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement and shall timely pay over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of the U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable legal requirement and to request any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as
31



applicable, or any similar information. If the Company, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, or the Exchange Agent intends to deduct or withhold any amount as required by any Tax law from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, the Company, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) the Person to whom such payments are to be made advance notice of its intent to deduct or withhold amounts from such payments, and (ii) a reasonable opportunity for the Person to provide forms, documents or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

The Buyer Closing Statement as determined by the Accountants shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement,” and the calculation of Buyer Closing Working Capital, Buyer Closing Indebtedness, Buyer Closing Transaction Expenses and/or Buyer Closing Cash, in each case, as determined by the Accountants, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Securityholders and Buyer and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that Buyer shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 5.2 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer may be entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any Company Representative shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.
5.3Access to Information. Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law, and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Company shall afford Buyer and its accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date hereof and prior to the Closing to (a) all of the properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records of the Company, including all Company Intellectual Property Assets (including access to design processes and methodologies and all source code) and (b) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company as Buyer may reasonably request. The Company agrees to provide to Buyer and its accountants, counsel and other representatives copies of internal financial statements as are prepared for distribution to the management of the Company promptly upon request.

5.4Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer of: (a) the occurrence of any event that is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Closing as if such representation or warranty was made at the Closing (except for representations and warranties that speak as of an earlier date) and (b) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, that the delivery of any notice or the making of any disclosure pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any rights or remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (ii) be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the unintentional failure by the Company to give notice of an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to be a breach of the underlying representation and warranty, and not a breach of this Section 5.4.
5.5Contract Modifications. Before the Closing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Contracts set forth in Schedule 5.5 to contain present tense assignment and/or waiver for the benefit of the Company of all Intellectual Property Assets created by the counterparty on behalf of the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement by the Parties on the date hereof, the Company will send the Information Statement to each Company Stockholder not forming part of the Requisite Stockholder Approval in connection with soliciting such Company Stockholder’s approval in accordance with applicable Law. Whenever any event occurs which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company will promptly inform Buyer of such occurrence and cooperate in making any appropriate amendment or supplement to the Information Statement, and the Company shall thereafter deliver to the Company Stockholders such amendment or supplement. No amendment or supplement to the Information Statement will be made by the Company without the approval of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(c)As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall solicit the approval by such number of stockholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) of a written consent in favor of a proposal to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 280G”) inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided that might result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G or that would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (together, the “Section 280G Payments”). Any such stockholder approval shall be sought by the Company in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations.

The form and substance of all stockholder approval documents

contemplated by this Section 5.7(c), including the waivers, shall be subject to the prior review and comment of Buyer. The Company shall provide such documentation and information to Buyer for its review and comment no later than three Business Days prior to soliciting waivers from the “disqualified individuals,” and the Company shall implement all reasonable and timely comments from Buyer thereon.
5.8Confidentiality. The parties hereto acknowledge that Buyer and the Company previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Buyer, the Merger Subs and the Company agrees that it and its representatives shall, except as otherwise permitted by and subject to compliance with Section 10.16, hold the terms of this Agreement, and the fact of this Agreement’s existence, in strict confidence both prior to and following the Closing. At no time, whether prior to or following the Closing, shall any of the parties hereto disclose any of the terms of this Agreement (including the economic terms) or any non-public information about a party hereto to any other Person without the prior written consent of the party hereto about which such non-public information relates (which, after the Closing, shall require the consent of the Securityholders’ Representative with respect to information of the Company). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, a party hereto and its representatives shall be permitted to disclose any and all terms of this Agreement to (i) its financial, tax and legal advisors and other representatives, (ii) the Company Securityholders as provided in the Information Statement, (iii) any other Person for whom consent, notice, waiver or approval is required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, solely for the purpose of satisfying such consent, notice, waiver or approval requirement, in each case specified in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), each of whom is subject to a similar obligation of confidentiality, (iv) to any Governmental Authority or administrative agency to the extent necessary or advisable in compliance with applicable Law, (v) the courts or arbitrator involved in dispute resolution proceedings, (vi) any tax authority in connection with any tax audit, examinations or other similar tax proceeding involving any tax return or tax matters, and (vii) the Securityholders’ Representative and the Advisory Group.

The applicable Parties shall cooperate in filing such forms, Tax Returns, and documents as may be necessary, including to permit any such Transfer Tax to be assessed and paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any available presale filing procedure, and to obtain any exemption or refund of any such Transfer Tax.

The Company shall not permit to exist any Tax deficiencies (including penalties and interest) of any kind assessed against or relating to the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Period of a character or nature that could reasonably be expected to result in Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or claims on any of the assets of the Company or on Buyer’s title or use of the assets of the Company following the Closing or that would reasonably be expected to result in any claim against Buyer.
67



(c)Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party shall provide to the others, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, any tax related communications and notices it receives which may impact the other Party’s Tax Liability or filing responsibilities.
(d)Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.
(i)The Company shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax Returns required to be filed under applicable Law by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant taxing authorities). Such Tax Returns shall be true and correct and completed in accordance with existing procedures, practices and accounting methods of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Laws. Such Tax Returns shall be submitted to the Buyer for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions). The Company shall consider any comments made by the Buyer in good faith. All Taxes shown on such Tax Returns shall be paid or will be paid by the Company as and when required by law.
(ii)Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause the Company to prepare and timely file, all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (such Tax Returns, “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”), such Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures, practices and accounting methods of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law. To the extent such Pre-Closing Tax Returns show a tax that is reasonably expected to be an Indemnified Tax for which the Company Securityholder are liable under this Agreement, such Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be submitted to the Securityholders’ Representative for review and comment twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such income Pre-Closing Tax Return (taking into account extensions) and as soon as practicable prior to the due date of such non-income Pre-Closing Tax Returns, but in any case no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date of such non-income Pre-Closing Tax Return, and Buyer shall consider any comments made by the Securityholders’ Representative in good faith. Buyer shall be indemnified by the Company Securityholders severally, in accordance with Section 8.2(a), for any Indemnified Taxes shown on any such Pre-Closing Tax Return, except to the extent the amount of any such Indemnified Taxes was included in the calculation of Indebtedness.
(iii)In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, sales, use or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a
68



fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
(e)Tax Refunds. Tax refunds that are received by the Company on or after the Closing Date that relate to Taxes paid by the Company in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Indemnified Taxes borne by Company Securityholders shall be for the account of the Company Securityholders, and Buyer shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to pay to the Company Securityholders their pro-rated portion of any such refund, less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining such refund (for the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable costs, may include costs relating to engaging a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm), within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt thereof. To the extent any such Tax refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable tax authority subsequent to a good faith defense where such Tax refund was challenged by a taxing authority (provided that the costs of such defense shall be borne by the Company Securityholders), the Company Securityholders agree promptly to repay to Buyer the amount of such Tax refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such tax authority with respect to such disallowance.
(f)Tax Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of any claim which involves the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(v) or Section 8.2(a)(x) as it relates to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that the Securityholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim at the Company Securityholders’ expense, and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense, and Buyer will keep the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably informed and consider any comments of the Securityholders’ Representative in good faith. Buyer, the Company, and the Securityholders’ Representative agree to give prompt written notice to each other of the receipt of any written notice by any of them which involves a Tax Claim; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, unless the party who was supposed to receive such notice has been materially prejudiced by such failure.
(g)To the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.9 conflict with the provisions of Section 8, this Section 5.9 shall control.
5.10Tax Consequences.

The Company and Buyer shall each use its commercially reasonably efforts not to (and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any other affiliate of Buyer (including the Final Surviving Entity) to) take any action (or fail to take any action) prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or fail to take any action (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any
69



other affiliate of Buyer, including the Final Surviving Entity, from taking any action or failing to take any action) following the Closing, which would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(b)The Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of determining the value of Buyer Common Stock to be received by the Company Securityholder pursuant to the First Merger under Revenue Procedure 2018-12, 2018-6 IRB 349 (“Rev.

Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.11(b) below, the Final Surviving Entity shall, for a period of not less than six years from the Closing Date (x) maintain provisions in the certificate of formation and the operating agreement of the Final Surviving Entity concerning the indemnification and exoneration of the Company Indemnified Parties that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company as of the Agreement Date, and (y) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by applicable Law.
(b)The aggregate liability of the Final Surviving Entity under Section 5.11(a) to all Company Indemnified Parties shall be limited to any recovery under the D&O Tail Policy or amounts actually recovered by the Final Surviving Entity under the indemnification claims made by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8. Prior to or at the Closing, the Company shall purchase at its sole costs and expense a prepaid “tail coverage” insurance policy, which policy provides liability insurance coverage for the directors and officers of the Company on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such directors and officers for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the Merger (such policy, the “D&O Tail Policy”). The D&O Tail Policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Final Surviving Entity or any provision in any indemnification or other agreement to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound, no exculpation or other provision in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Final Surviving Entity or any such agreement shall be deemed to exculpate any such person from its obligations under this Agreement.
5.12Employee and Related Matters.
(a)Following the date hereof, Buyer shall offer employment packages to certain of the Company’s employees determined by Buyer after consultation with the Company (such employees, excluding the Key Employee and the Retention Employees, the “Offered Employees”), which employment packages will contain terms substantially comparable to those of each Offered Employee immediately prior to the date hereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all of the Offered Employees become continuing employees of Buyer or its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company), by encouraging the Offered Employees to execute and deliver to Buyer and to take no action to revoke, rescind or repudiate (i) an offer letter in substantially the form identified by Buyer for such Person (collectively, the “Continuing Employee Offer Letters”, and, together with the Key Employee Offer Letters, the “Offer Letters”) with the effectiveness of such agreement conditioned upon the Closing and (ii) and CIIAA with the Company (such continuing employees, “Continuing Employees”).
(b)With respect to each Continuing Employee, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending twelve (12) months after the Effective Time (or earlier to the extent any applicable Continuing Employee’s employment terminates earlier), except to the extent better terms are provided to any such Continuing Employee in his or her Offer Letter, Buyer agrees to provide each Continuing Employee with base salary, target bonus, and employee benefits (excluding any equity-based compensation, retention or change-in-control benefits and retiree and health and welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable to those of such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing.
(c)With respect to any benefit plan maintained by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer in which any Continuing Employee will be eligible to participate, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the terms of the applicable benefit plans, to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such Continuing Employee under the group health plans of the Company prior to the Closing and (ii) provide each such Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid prior to
71



the Closing in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan. Where applicable, subject to the terms of the applicable benefit plans, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit or cause to be credited each Continuing Employee’s length of service with the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting, under Buyer’s employee benefit plans to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was recognized under the analogous Company benefit plan; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits.
(d)In the event that any employee of the Company is not offered continued employment by Buyer or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing or declines to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer, the Company shall terminate the employment of such employee effective prior to the Closing and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer a separation agreement or similar document in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, including a release of claims in favor of the Company and an acknowledgment that all payments owed to such employee have been paid in full, unless otherwise requested by Buyer reasonably in advance of the Closing. The Company shall be responsible for making any payments, including severance required or agreed to in order to terminate such employees who are not offered continued employment by Buyer prior to Closing or who decline to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer; provided that any such severance shall be in accordance with the Company’s severance practices as set forth on Schedule 5.12(b)-1, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Company. In the case of such employees who decline to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer, the Company shall reflect such payments (including any taxes related thereto) incurred by the Company as of the Closing or anticipated to be incurred or payable after the Closing as a Company Transaction Expense. Any Excluded Severance shall be borne by Buyer and shall not be a Company Transaction Expense or a current liability for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital.
5.13Further Assurances. Each of the Parties covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to do all acts and things as may be required to carry out their obligations hereunder and to consummate this Agreement, including executing, sealing and delivering all such other instruments and other documents, and take all such other actions, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
5.14Post-Closing Operation of the Business. Buyer agrees that from the Closing until June 30, 2025:

For the avoidance of doubt, any restricted stock units issued to Promised Optionholders shall be issued from the Continuing Employee RSU Pool.

5.16Registration on Form S-8. Buyer shall file with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options and Buyer shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement thereafter for so long as any of such Assumed Options remain outstanding.

8.2Indemnification.
(a)Indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing, each Indemnifying Securityholder (severally and not jointly, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share) shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company), and their respective direct and indirect partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, related to, accrued or incurred in connection with:

Any shares of Buyer Common Stock surrendered for such purpose shall be valued at the Buyer Stock Price for the purpose of satisfying such indemnification obligation.
8.3Limitations.
(a)Deductible. Subject to Section 8.3(c), no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) until such time as the total amount of all Losses arising from any inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of such Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $275,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”). If the total amount of such Loss exceeds the Deductible Amount, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the portion of such Loss exceeding the Deductible Amount, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
80



(b)Recourse to Indemnity Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 8.3(c), recourse by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and R&W Insurance Policy shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement against the Indemnifying Securityholders for monetary Loss resulting from the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i).
(c)Applicability of Escrow Amount Cap; Indemnification Cap.
(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Indemnifying Securityholder): (A) in the event of any claim of Fraud; or (B) to claims regarding inaccuracies in or breaches of the Fundamental Representations.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the total amount of indemnification payments that each Indemnifying Securityholder can be required to make to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (in excess of the amount, if any, that was withheld with respect to such Indemnifying Securityholder as a contribution to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and paid to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund) shall be limited to an amount equal to (A) the aggregate cash actually paid and (B) the value of shares of Buyer Common Stock (valued at the Buyer Stock Price) actually issued to such Indemnifying Securityholder (prior to deduction of any Taxes, if any) (the “Individual Cap”); provided that the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise restrict the right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue remedies (X) under any Ancillary Agreement against the parties thereto or (Y) in connection with any claim of Fraud by any Indemnifying Securityholder against such Indemnifying Securityholder (for which there shall be no limitation of liability hereunder).
(iii)Except with respect to (X) any claim of Fraud by or on behalf of the Company, and (Y) inaccuracies in or breaches of any Fundamental Representations, for the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i), the following order of priority shall apply for recovery: (1) first, after the Deductible Amount, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund until such funds are exhausted; and (2) second, to the extent covered by R&W Insurance Policy, from the R&W Insurance Policy by collecting insurance proceeds therefrom.
(iv)With respect to any of the matters referred to in Sections 8.2(a)(ii)-8.2(a)(ix) and 8.2(a)(xi), the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, seek to recover amounts in respect of such claims (1) directly from the Indemnifying Securityholders or (2) from the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(vi)Any indemnification owed by the Indemnifying Securityholders to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for a breach of any Fundamental
81



Representation, the matters to which Section 5 applies or in the case of any claim of Fraud by or on behalf of the Company shall be satisfied: (A) first, by disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, which at the time of such claim is being held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (provided, that in the event a subsequent claim for indemnification resulting in Losses owed by the Company Securityholders to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) within the Expiration Date, matters to which Section 5 applies or in the case of Fraud, the Indemnifying Securityholders shall remain liable for the aggregate amounts paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this clause (A)), (B) second, directly from the Indemnifying Securityholders up to the remainder of the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy, (C) third, to the extent the Buyer Indemnifiable Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy and to the extent the claim is covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, from and against the R&W Insurance Policy, and (D) finally, if (A) the claim is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy and the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, or (B) the Buyer Indemnifiable Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy, and coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect thereto, then in each case, against the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to Section 8.3(c)(ii).
(vii)The payment of any cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any indemnification obligations under this Article 8 shall be made, with respect to each Indemnifying Securityholder with consideration subject to vesting, including, without limitation, the Retention Holdback Amount, first with cash subject to vesting or other restrictions and then, if such cash is insufficient to satisfy such indemnification obligation and only to the extent of such insufficiency, shall such payment be made with vested cash. In the event any unvested cash of the Key Employee that is placed in the Indemnity Escrow Fund is forfeited by such Key Employee, such unvested cash shall be paid to Buyer out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and reduce dollar-for-dollar the amount that would be paid to such Key Employee at the time any cash in the Indemnity Escrow Fund is paid to the Indemnifying Securityholder.
(d)The right to indemnification based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 8.3(f) below, this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing for any claims arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this Section 8.3(e) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief; provided, further, that this Section 8.3(e) shall not prevent or limit any claim in the event of fraud (with the element of scienter) or willful breach by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Securityholder.
82



(f)The Parties acknowledge the applicability of the common law duty to mitigate damages.
(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining the amount of Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(a) or Section 5, there shall be deducted from any Losses an amount equal to the amount of any proceeds actually received by any Buyer Indemnified Party from any third-party insurer (including, the R&W Insurance Policy) (less any costs incurred in connection with obtaining such proceeds, including any premium adjustments). In the event any Buyer Indemnified Party first recovers against the Indemnifying Securityholders directly for any particular Losses and thereafter recovers for the same Losses pursuant to any existing insurance policies, then the amount recovered pursuant to such existing insurance policies (up to the amount first recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Securityholders and less any costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such proceeds, including any premium adjustments and reasonable and out-of-pocket investigation costs) shall promptly be paid to the Final Surviving Entity and Exchange Agent, as applicable, by Buyer, for further distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover any applicable Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent the applicable claim is covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, before the Indemnifying Securityholders make any payments for such Losses or amounts are distributed from the Indemnity Escrow Fund with respect to the claim at issue; provided that Buyer shall not be precluded from asserting in parallel a claim for Losses against the Indemnifying Securityholders or the Indemnity Escrow Fund as otherwise permitted in this Section 8.
(h)Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Ancillary Agreement against the parties thereto.
(i)All payments (if any) made to a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a breach of this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Base Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.
(j)No Buyer Indemnified Party is to be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Section 8 to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Party has recovered the full cash amount of such Losses pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or otherwise, so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under more than one provision of this Agreement with respect to Losses, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to only one indemnification or recovery for such Losses to the extent it arises out of the same set of circumstances and events. This Section 8.3(j) is intended solely to preclude a duplicate recovery by a Buyer Indemnified Party. Nothing herein shall preclude a Buyer Indemnified Party from seeking the maximum amount of potential indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.4No Contribution. Each Indemnifying Securityholders waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Indemnifying Securityholder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right
83



or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Indemnifying Securityholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of itself, and each Indemnifying Securityholder expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Buyer or the Company.
8.5Claims Procedures. Other than in respect of claims to be made under the R&W Insurance Policy as set forth in this Section 8, any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 (and, at the option of any Buyer Indemnified Party, any claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)) shall be brought and resolved as follows:
(a)If any Buyer Indemnified Party has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, a Loss for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, such Buyer Indemnified Party may deliver a claim certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Securityholders’ Representative. Each Claim Certificate shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Buyer Indemnified Party’s claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Buyer Indemnified Party might be entitled. Such Buyer Indemnified Party may update a Claim Certificate from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof. If a claim under this Section 8 may be brought under different or multiple sections, clauses or sub-clauses of Section 8 (or with respect to different or multiple representations, warrants or covenants), then, subject to the conditions, qualifications and limitations and other provisions of this Section 8, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring such claim under any or each such section, clause, subclauses, representation, warranty or covenant (each a “Subject Provision”) that it chooses, and the Buyer Indemnified Party will not be precluded from seeking indemnification under any Subject Provision by virtue of the Buyer Indemnified Party not being entitled to seek indemnification under any other Subject Provision.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under this Section 8, any Buyer Indemnified Party may make a claim directly against the Indemnifying Securityholders by delivering a Claim Certificate to such Indemnifying Securityholder. Such Buyer Indemnified Party may update a Claim Certificate from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof.
(c)After the giving of any Claim Certificate pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 8 shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Securityholders’ Representative, (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) by any other means to which the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Securityholders’ Representative shall agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.
84



(d)Subject to Section 8.7 and the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, in the event that any Losses are determined to be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party, each Indemnifying Securityholder shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination of Losses hereunder, wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indemnifying Securityholders’ Pro Rata Share, multiplied by (y) the aggregate amount of such Losses (other than Losses arising out of, related to or incurred or accrued in connection with any Fraud by a Indemnifying Securityholder, for which the applicable Indemnifying Securityholder responsible for such breach or act shall wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the entire aggregate amount of such Loss).
8.6Third Party Claims.
(a)Third Party Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Company, Buyer or any other Person) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of any of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Securityholders are obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to promptly give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Securityholders of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Securityholders are actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties. The Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in or, upon providing written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Parties within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim in which the Securityholders’ Representative acknowledges on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders without qualification the Indemnifying Securityholders’ indemnification obligation hereunder (subject only to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.3 and this Section 8.6), to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Securityholders’ expense and by the Securityholders’ Representative own counsel. In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.7(b), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall cooperate reasonably in the defense thereof. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Securityholders’ Representative’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Buyer Indemnified Parties; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, there are legal defenses available to a Buyer Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Securityholders, such fees and disbursements shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Securityholders. If the Securityholders’ Representative elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to give timely and sufficient notification to the Buyer Indemnified Parties in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or loses its right to defend such Third Party Claim by failing to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, subject to Section 8.6(b), without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder, pay, compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from
85



or relating to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.6, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, investigation or allegation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or relief other than for monetary Damages against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (iii) the Buyer Indemnified Parties reasonably believe that the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, (iv) an actual or readily apparent conflict of interest (as determined by the Buyer Indemnified Parties after obtaining advice of counsel) exists between the Indemnifying Securityholders and the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the Third Party Claim that precludes effective joint representation, (v) the Third Party Claim is, in the discretion of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, subject to recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy, or (vi) the amounts reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim, together with all other outstanding claims on the Indemnity Escrow Fund, exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund. If, pursuant to this Section 8.6(a), the Buyer Indemnified Parties so contest, defend, litigate or settle a Third Party Claim for which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Securityholders for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Securityholders’ Representative of itemized bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.3 this Section 8.6. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 8.6, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Securityholders.
(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Parties; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as: (i) a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (A) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates (including any equitable remedies or other obligations or restrictions upon the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates), (B) would not lead to any liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, (C) provides, in customary form, for the full, unconditional written release of each Buyer Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (D) does not adversely affect the conduct of the business of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative provides written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Parties that it desires to accept and agree to such offer and the terms thereof. If the Buyer Indemnified Parties have assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.7(a), they shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c)Cooperation. The Securityholders’ Representative, the Members, and the Buyer Indemnified Party shall each use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to
86



cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, providing copies of records within the Company’s or the Indemnifying Securityholders’ possession or control relating to such Third Party Claim and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses), Representatives of the Company or the Indemnifying Securityholders as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(d)Coordination with Tax Claims. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8.7 and Section 5.9(f), the provisions of Section 5.9(f) shall control with respect to Tax Claims.

Subject to Section 8.7(c), within five (5) Business Days following the Expiration Date, Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnification Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund as of the Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount, for distribution to each Indemnifying Securityholder, it being acknowledged and agreed that such amount shall be released to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

Securityholders’ Representative shall be the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including to (i) execute, as the Securityholders’ Representative, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) give and receive notices, instructions and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, for and on behalf of any Company Securityholder, to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other matters contemplated by this Agreement or by such other agreement, document or instrument (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Company Securityholder individually), (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Buyer to reclaim an amount of cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Specified Matters Escrow Fund or the Adjustment Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to Section 8, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 8, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and comply with judgments, orders or decrees of courts with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Company Securityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Company Securityholders, (vii) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Company Securityholders (other than with respect to the payment of the consideration payable hereunder to the Company Securityholders) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein, (viii) pursuant to Section 2.17, review, negotiate, object to, accept or agree to the calculations set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement and (ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance and (x) utilize the Expense Fund in connection with any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Company Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholders’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. Buyer, Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the First Step Surviving Corporation and after the Second Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Securityholders’ Representative and treat such Securityholders’ Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Company Securityholder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 10.2. Each Company Securityholder shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with this Section 10.2, and Buyer and other Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely
90



exclusively on any action or decision of the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative may resign at any time with no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice as provided for in the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement. The Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Securityholders’ Representative, then a successor may be appointed, by the Company Securityholders collectively having a Pro Rata Share greater than 50% upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Buyer. No bond shall be required of the Securityholders’ Representative.
(b)Certain Company Securityholders have entered or will enter into an engagement agreement (the “Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Securityholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, and the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Company Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Representative Group”) shall be liable to any Company Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder or under the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders shall severally (based on each such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share) but not jointly indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative Group and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, amount paid in settlement, judgment, forfeiture, fee, cost or expense (including the fees and expenses of counsel, other professionals and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder and under any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Losses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Losses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. If not paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Company Securityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from the Expense Fund and, after the Expense Fund is fully depleted, from the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Specified Matters Escrow Fund or Adjustment Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders (and not distributed or distributable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or subject to a pending indemnification claim of a Buyer Indemnified Party) at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders, and such recovery will be made from the Company Securityholders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Representative Losses; provided, that while this Section allows the Securityholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred,
91



nor does it prevent the Securityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Securityholders’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Securityholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in performing such actions. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on liability of the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including in Section 8.3) are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholders’ Representative under this Section 10.2(b). The Company Securityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group, the Closing, or the termination of this Agreement. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholders’ Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Specified Matters Escrow Fund.
(c)After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Securityholders’ Representative that is within the scope of the Securityholders’ Representative’s authority under Section 10.2(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Company Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Securityholder and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Securityholder; and each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Company Securityholder. Any defenses which may be available to any Company Securityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholders’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. Buyer hereby covenants and agrees to provide the Securityholders’ Representative with access, during normal business hours, to all books, records, employees, witnesses and other information in the custody or control of Buyer or the Final Surviving Entity in connection with any claim for indemnification under Section 8 and the discharge of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Securityholder or other party.
92



10.3Waiver. Any Party to this Agreement may waive compliance or performance of any provision of this Agreement that is intended for the benefit of such waiving Party. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing executed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Section 10.3 shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
10.4Specific Performance. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this Agreement, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Party agrees that each Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance. If any such action is brought by a Party to enforce this Agreement, the other Party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law or the requirement for the posting of any bond or similar security.
10.5Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
10.6Notices. All notices, claims, demands and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when personally delivered, mailed by first class mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by express courier service or via facsimile or electronic mail (with original copy to follow) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.6); provided that with respect to any notices deliverable to the Securityholders’ Representative, such notices shall be delivered solely via email or facsimile:

10.8Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
10.9Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith with sophisticated counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation

The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation” regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others.

Buyer and Merger Subs hereby agree that in the event that a dispute under this Agreement related to the transactions contemplated hereby arises after the Closing between Buyer and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, Fenwick may represent the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders in such dispute even though the interests of the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders may be directly adverse to Buyer and its subsidiaries, and even though Fenwick may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, this sentence shall not apply if and to the extent (a) Fenwick is then representing Buyer, Merger Subs, or any of their respective Affiliates or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) and (b) such representation of such member of the Buyer Group would require Fenwick to either refrain from representing the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders or obtain the informed consent of the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders and the applicable member of the Buyer Group under
96



applicable Law or applicable ethical standards governing attorney conduct. Buyer and Merger Subs further agree that, as to all communications among Fenwick and the Company that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Closing (the “Protected Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the Protected Communications (the “Associated Rights”) belong to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders and may be controlled by the Securityholders’ Representative and Company Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, Merger Subs, the Final Surviving Entity or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, the Parties expressly agree that the Protected Communications and Associated Rights shall not include any communications at or prior to the Closing among Fenwick and the Company: (i) relating to Fraud (whether related to the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby or a similar transaction prior to the Closing or otherwise); or (ii) with respect to which the attorney-client privilege could not validly be asserted by the Company prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Securityholders’ Representative or a Company Securityholder, on the other hand, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and its subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or its subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative and (y) if Buyer is legally required by judgment, order or decree of a Governmental Authority to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Protected Communications, Buyer shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Protected Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such judgment, order or decree.
10.18No Representations Regarding Projections or Forecasts; Acknowledgment. None of the Company nor any other Person has made, and each of Buyer and Merger Subs acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon, any representation or warranty, express or implied as to, and none of the Company nor any other Person shall have any Liability to Buyer or any other Person with respect to any financial projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets relating to the Company or its operations or other forward-looking statements of the Company (except, in each case, to the extent expressly addressed in a representation or warranty in Section 3).
