1.4Treatment of Company Securities.
(a)Treatment of Company Shares.
(i)Vested Company Shares.
(1)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each vested share of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by a Suitable Investor shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.5 (A) an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Accredited Cash Consideration and (B) a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the Per Share Accredited Stock Consideration. No fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock will be issued and no cash in lieu of fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be paid in connection with the Merger. The amount of cash and the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock each Company Stockholder that is a Suitable Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(i)(1) for such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and up to the nearest whole share, respectively, and computed after aggregating cash amounts and shares of Acquirer Common Stock for all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder. A Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquirer Common Stock and has the number of shares to be received rounded up pursuant to the preceding sentence shall receive a reduction to the cash consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(i)(1) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) (i) one minus (ii) such fraction by (B) the Acquirer Stock Price, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
(2)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each vested share of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by an Unaccredited Investor shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.5, an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Consideration. The amount of cash each Company Stockholder that is an Unaccredited Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(i)(2) for such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be rounded down the nearest whole cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder.
(ii)Unvested Company Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Unvested Company Share (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (A) that is held by a Person set forth on Schedule A-2 that is a Suitable Investor shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.5, a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Unvested Company Shares held by such Company Stockholder, by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding, or (B) that is held by any Person other than a Person that is set forth on Schedule A-2 and that is a Suitable Investor, an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Consideration ((A) and (B), the “Unvested Share Payments”). The amount of cash each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) for such Unvested Company Shares shall be rounded down the nearest whole cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Unvested Company Shares held by such Company Stockholder. The payment of cash and issuance of shares of Acquirer Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) in exchange for Unvested Company Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to the Closing, except as may be modified by an applicable Benefits Waiver. Therefore, the Unvested Share Payments otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) may not automatically be payable by Acquirer at the Closing and shall instead become payable by Acquirer on the date, if later, that such Unvested Company Shares would have become vested under the vesting schedule

in place for such Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to the Closing (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and as may be modified by an applicable Benefits Waiver). Acquirer shall make all such required payments to holders of rights to Unvested Share Payments no later than 15 days following the last day of each Quarterly Date after the applicable vesting date (and in no event after the end of the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs); provided that the Company Stockholder need not continue to be a service provider on such date to receive any such payments that have previously vested on the applicable vesting dates, and, in the case of cash payments, such payments may be made through, at Acquirer’s discretion, a paying agent authorized by Acquirer to administer such payments on Acquirer’s behalf or through Acquirer’s (or the Company’s or a Company Subsidiary’s) payroll system and in accordance with standard payroll practices (including withholding for applicable Taxes (except for those for which an election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been timely filed and satisfactory evidence provided to Acquirer with respect thereto), if any). All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes (unless an election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been timely filed and satisfactory evidence provided to Acquirer with respect thereto) and shall be paid without interest.
(iii)A Suitable Investor may provide a designation schedule to the Joinder Agreement (the “Schedule”) setting forth the shares of Company Capital Stock that are subject to the Vesting Agreement and/or the shares of Company Capital Stock to be exchanged for shares of Acquirer Common Stock and the shares of Company Capital Stock to be exchanged for cash (or both, if applicable), provided such designation is economically reasonable and does not affect the aggregate amount of cash and number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be received pursuant to this Section 1.4 or the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to the Vesting Agreement. The parties agree to treat such designation as part of the terms of the exchange contemplated by this Agreement and the Vesting Agreement (to the extent applicable) to the extent permitted by Sections 1.356-1(b) and 1.358-2(a)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(b)Treatment of Company Options.
(i)Vested Company Options.
(1)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Vested Company Option that is In-the-Money shall be cashed out in exchange for an amount in cash, without interest, with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Vested Company Option that is In-the-Money, equal to the excess of the Per Share Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option that is In-the-Money. The total amount payable to the holders of Vested Company Options that are In-the-Money pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i)(1) shall be referred to as the “Aggregate Vested Option Cash Consideration.” The amount of cash each holder of an In-the-Money Vested Company Option is entitled to receive for such In-the-Money Vested Company Option shall be net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions and, as a condition of payment, be subject to the execution and delivery of an Optionholder Consent Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J by such holder and as condition of payment of any amount owed to holders of Non-Employee Options, such holder of Non-Employee Options must first have delivered to Acquirer a properly completed Letter of Transmittal. The aggregate amount of cash each Company Optionholder holding Vested Company Options that are In-the-Money is entitled to receive for such Vested Company Options shall not accrue interest and shall be computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Vested Company Options held by such Company Optionholder and then rounded down to the nearest cent.
(2)At the Closing, each outstanding Vested Company Option that is not In-the-Money shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, expire and be cancelled and extinguished without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor.
(3)Prior to the Closing, and subject to the reasonable review and approval of Acquirer, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.4(b)(i) under the Company Option Plan, all Company Option agreements, any other plan or arrangement of the Company (whether written or oral, formal or informal), and any Applicable Law, including adopting all resolutions, giving all notices, obtaining consents from each

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in an applicable Benefits Waiver, each Unvested Company Option that is In-the-Money and is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing and that is held by a Company Employee (each, a “Converted Option”) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Company Option Plan and the Company Option agreement relating thereto as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except that (x) such Converted Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product of (I) the number of share of Company Capital Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Converted Option immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (II) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding, (y) the per share exercise price for the shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Converted Option shall be equal to the quotient of (I) the exercise price per share at which such Converted Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing, divided by (II) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and (z) any early exercise provisions set forth in the Company Option Plan or the Company Option agreement relating to such Converted Option shall be waived by each Continuing Employee. The issuance of any Converted Options to any holder of Unvested Options is contingent and subject to such holder executing and delivering an Optionholder Consent Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the exercise price of each Converted Option, the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable pursuant to each Converted Option and the terms and conditions of each Converted Option shall in all events be determined with respect to any Converted Option granted to an employee who is a U.S. resident or citizen, in material compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and in the case of any Company Option that qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, Section 424(a) of the Code. Further, each Converted Option shall bear the legends described in Section 1.5(e) to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law).
(2)At the Closing, each Unvested Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing and (i) that is held by any person who is not a Continuing Employee, (ii) is not In-the-Money, or (iii) is set forth on Schedule 1.4(b)(ii)(2) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the persons listed on such schedule, the “Cancelled Optionees”) shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor.

(i)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each outstanding Company Warrant that is In-the-Money that is held by Suitable Investor shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.5, (A) an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Accredited Cash Consideration and (B) number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the Per Share Accredited Stock Consideration; provided that the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant that is In-the-Money shall be deducted from the overall value of
9

(A) and (B). No fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock will be issued and no cash in lieu of fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be paid in connection with the Merger. The total amount payable to the Company Warrantholders pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(i) shall be referred to as the “Warrant Consideration.” The payment of Warrant Consideration shall be subject to the execution and delivery of a Warrant Termination Agreement. The amount of cash and the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock payable to Company Warrantholder pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(i) for such Company Warrants shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and up to the nearest whole share, respectively, and computed after aggregating cash amounts and shares of Acquirer Common Stock for all Company Warrants held by such Company Warrantholder. A Company Warrantholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquirer Common Stock shall receive a reduction to the cash consideration otherwise payable to such Company Warrantholder pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(i) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) (i) one minus (ii) such fraction by (B) the Acquirer Stock Price, rounded down to the nearest whole cent. At the Closing, each outstanding Company Warrant that is not In-the-Money shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, expire and be cancelled and extinguished without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor.
(ii)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each outstanding Company Warrant that is In-the-Money that is held by an Unaccredited Investor shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.5, an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Per Share Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant that is In-the-Money. The amount of cash each Company Warrantholder that is an Unaccredited Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(ii) for such Company Warrants shall be rounded down the nearest whole cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Warrants held by such Company Warrantholder.
(d)Treatment of Company Shares Owned by the Company. At the Closing, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Closing shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(e)Treatment of Capital Stock of Merger Sub I. At the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub I that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of Merger Sub I, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub I capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time).
(f)Treatment of Capital Stock of Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II. At the Second Effective Time, each share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Second Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Entity (and the shares of the Surviving Entity into which the shares of Surviving Corporation capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Entity’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Second Effective Time and the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall have been cancelled for no consideration and cease to exist).
(g)Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Company Securityholders under this Agreement as of immediately prior to the Closing are personal to each such Company Securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason, other than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution without action taken by or on behalf of such Company Securityholder. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (other than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.
(h)No Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no interest shall accumulate on any cash payable in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.
10

(i)Spreadsheet. Acquirer is permitted and authorized to rely on the allocations set forth in the Spreadsheet and shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any error in such allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate consideration paid or issued by Acquirer to the Company Securityholders and any amounts deposited in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, Adjustment Escrow Fund and Expense Fund, shall be equal to the difference between the Aggregate Consideration (with the shares of Acquirer Common Stock valued at the Acquirer Stock Price for purposes of this Section 1.4(i) and the Aggregate Exercise Price, assuming the full vesting of all unvested consideration and other than to the extent as a result of rounding. For clarity, the aggregate consideration paid by Acquirer to the Company Securityholders shall include any amounts in respect of the Converted Options, assuming for these purposes the full vesting and exercise of all such Converted Options.
(j)Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquirer shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.4(a), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.4(a), the applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall provide to Acquirer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments related to such demands served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquirer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditions, or delayed), or as otherwise required under the DGCL, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. Subject to Section 8.3, the payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Company Stockholders (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.4(j) and under the DGCL) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL by any other Company Stockholder.

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES.

(ii)Upon the prior written request of any Converting Holder receiving Acquirer Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (or, if applicable, such Converting Holder’s Permitted Transferees), and subject to receipt from the Converting Holder of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Acquirer and the Acquirer’s transfer agent in connection therewith, following the date that is six months following the Closing or prior to such date in connection with a Permitted Transfer, Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, in following a sale of the Acquirer Common Stock promptly cause its legal counsel to deliver to Acquirer’s transfer agent an appropriate opinion letter to the effect that such shares of Acquirer Common Stock have been resold pursuant to Rule 144 and that the legends may be removed from such shares of Acquirer Common Stock that have been resold pursuant to Rule 144. Following the date that is one year following the Closing, and to the extent that the Acquirer Common Stock is eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision without the requirement for the Converting Holder to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions applicable to the sale or transfer of such Acquirer Common Stock, Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver to Acquirer’s transfer agent an appropriate opinion letter to the effect that the legends may be removed from the shares of Acquirer Common Stock. In addition, with a view to making available to the Converting Holders and their permitted transferees the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Converting Holder or its permitted transferees to sell Acquirer Common Stock to the public without registration, from the Agreement Date until the earlier of the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and the date that is two (2) years after the Closing, Acquirer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are defined in Rule 144, and (B) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by Acquirer under the Exchange Act. Following the Closing, and subject to the agreement in writing by the Permitted Transferee to comply with the restrictions set forth herein, any Converting Holder may transfer Acquirer Common Stock received pursuant to this Agreement in a transaction that does not constitute an “offer” or “sale” under the Securities Act (a) to an Affiliate of such Converting Holder, (b) if an individual, to an immediate family member or trust for the benefit of such Converting Holder or one or more of such Converting Holder’s immediate family members, (c) pursuant to the laws of testamentary or intestate succession or otherwise involuntarily transferred by operation of law or (d) if the Converting Holder is a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company, to any one or more partners, stockholders or members thereof. Any such transfer of such shares pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to as a “Permitted Transfer,” and any such transferee of shares pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee.” Before any transfer of Acquirer Common Stock in a Permitted Transfer requiring the cooperation of Acquirer, Converting Holder shall give notice to Acquirer of such Converting Holder’s intention to effect such Permitted Transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Permitted Transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by Acquirer, shall be accompanied at such Converting Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer, addressed to Acquirer, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the Permitted Transfer of such Acquired Common Stock without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to Acquirer to the effect that the Permitted Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Converting Holder shall be entitled to make the Permitted Transfer in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Converting Holder to Acquirer.

(iii)Transfers of Ownership. If any cash or shares of Acquirer Common Stock payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.4 are to be paid or issued, as applicable, to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment and issuance thereof that such Certificate shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash in any name other than that of the registered holder of such Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f)No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5, no party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law. Acquirer is not assuming, and shall not assume, any obligations or Liabilities under (i) any options or warrants to purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Company Capital Stock or (ii) any other direct or indirect rights to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock. The Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate, including providing any required notices, so that any direct or indirect rights to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock shall be terminated as of the Effective Time.
(g)Unclaimed Consideration. Each holder of a Certificate who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth herein shall look only to Acquirer (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar Applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Aggregate Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.4 in respect of such Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the earlier of the date that is six months following the Closing Date and such date on which the applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.4 in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity, any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Acquirer, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.
1.6No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Shares. The applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration issued, paid, issuable or payable, as applicable, following the surrender for exchange of the Certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall be issued, paid, issuable or payable, as applicable, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares represented by such Certificates, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Entity of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate, document or instrument representing shares of Company Capital Stock is presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, such Certificate, document or instrument (and the underlying shares of Company Capital Stock) shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article

Acquirer shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent and its representatives reasonable access upon reasonable notice to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors relating to the preparation of the Acquirer Closing Statement and shall cause its personnel to reasonably cooperate with the Stockholders’ Agent in connection with its review of the Acquirer Closing Statement.
(b)The Stockholders’ Agent shall have 30 days within which to review the Acquirer Closing Statement after Acquirer’s delivery thereof. The Stockholders’ Agent may object to any calculation set forth in the Acquirer Closing Statement by providing written notice of such objection to Acquirer within 30 days after Acquirer’s delivery of the Acquirer Closing Statement (the “Notice of
15

Objection”), together with the basis of its objection in reasonable detail and any supporting documentation, information and calculations. If a Notice of Objection is not provided within such 30-day period, the Acquirer Closing Statement (and each of the calculations set forth therein) shall be deemed final.
(c)If the Stockholders’ Agent provides the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 30 days following Acquirer’s receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Holders.
(d)If, after the 30-day period set forth in Section 1.7(c), Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall engage one of the “big four” independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to both Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent or, if such firm is not able or willing to so act, another auditing firm reasonably acceptable to both Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent and any calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Company’s relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any event within 45 days following its engagement) determine the resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which determination shall (absent fraud or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Holders.
(e)If the Aggregate Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7(b), Section 1.7(c) and/or Section 1.7(d), as the case may be (the “Final Aggregate Consideration”), is less than the Aggregate Consideration that was calculated in accordance with the Company Closing Financial Certificate (such difference, the “Aggregate Consideration Shortfall”), the Aggregate Consideration Shortfall shall be recovered by Acquirer first from the Adjustment Escrow Fund. To the extent the Adjustment Consideration Shortfall is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Fund (the “Excess Adjustment Amount”), Acquirer shall recover such Excess Adjustment Amount first from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and only to the extent the Indemnity Escrow Fund is insufficient, from the Converting Holders directly, based on their Pro Rata Share. A joint written instruction setting forth the Aggregate Consideration Shortfall to be paid to Acquirer, and if applicable, any remaining amounts of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to be paid to the Converting Holders based on their Pro Rata Share, shall be prepared and signed by Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent and delivered to the Escrow Agent if requested by Acquirer. Upon receipt of such joint written instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Acquirer, and if applicable, the Converting Holders, such amount of cash from Adjustment Escrow Fund, and if there is an Excess Adjustment Amount, Acquirer shall be able to recover any such Excess Adjustment Amount from the Escrow Fund in the manner described in Section 8.4(j).
(f)If the Final Aggregate Consideration is greater than the Aggregate Consideration that was calculated in accordance with the Company Closing Financial Certificate (such difference, the “Aggregate Consideration Surplus”), then the Aggregate Consideration Surplus shall be deemed to be added to the Aggregate Consideration in same proportion of cash and shares of Acquirer Common Stock paid and issued to Converting Holders pursuant to Section 1.4(a) and shall be, within 10 Business Days after delivery of joint written instruction by Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent to the Escrow Agent, (i) with respect to the cash portion, wired to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Converting Holders, and Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall submit a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent to pay to the Paying Agent the Adjustment Escrow Fund for further distribution to the Converting Holders based on their Pro Rata Share, and (ii) with respect to the stock portion, issued to the Converting Holders. The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be allocated between the Stockholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Converting Holders), on the one hand, and Acquirer, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Reviewing Accountant that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Reviewing Accountant) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted.
1.8Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall.
16

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that an Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall would otherwise exist, the amount of Aggregate Stockholder Cash Consideration and Aggregate Accredited Stock Consideration shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.8(b) such that the Aggregate Accredited Stock Consideration shall equal (as nearly as practicable), but in any event no less than) 40% of the Aggregate Stockholder Consideration. Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Converted Options or Equity Interests issued pursuant to the Retention Pool) that shall be issued to the holders of Company Capital Stock (such number, the “Acquirer Stock Target”) shall equal no less than (i) 40% of the Aggregate Stockholder Consideration divided by the Acquirer Stock Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share. All shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be valued at the Acquirer Stock Price for purposes of this Section 1.8. In addition, to the extent after the Closing any amounts are paid to, forfeited from, or otherwise recovered pursuant to an indemnity claim from, the Converting Holders and such payment, forfeiture, or recovery would result in an Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall, the cash and stock mix paid to, forfeited by, or recovered from, the Converting Holders will be deemed automatically adjusted such that it does not result in an Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall.
(b)If the Acquirer Stock Target exceeds the Acquirer Stock Consideration (such excess, the “Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall”), then (i) Acquirer Stock Consideration issuable to each holder of Company Capital Stock that is a Suitable Investor shall automatically (and without requiring any further action on the part of such holder) be increased by the Acquirer Stock Target Shortfall multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Acquirer Stock Consideration issuable to such holder and the denominator of which is the sum of the Acquirer Stock Consideration issuable to all holders of Company Capital Stock that are Suitable Investors and (ii) the Cash Consideration of each holder of Company Capital Stock that is a Suitable Investor shall be correspondingly and automatically decreased.
1.9Certain Taxes. The Company Stockholders, on the one hand, and Acquirer, on the other hand, each shall bear 50% of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) that may be imposed upon, or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with, this Agreement and the Transactions. The parties shall cooperate in filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Taxes referred to in this Section 1.9. Each of the Company Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Agent, Acquirer and the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Transfer Taxes that may be imposed upon, or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with, this Agreement and the Transactions.
1.10Withholding Rights. Each of Acquirer, the Surviving Entity, their respective Affiliates and the Paying Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments of cash or issuances of Acquirer Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts in cash or shares of Acquirer Common Stock as the Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments or issuances under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local, provincial or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld, and paid over to the Tax Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or issued, as applicable, to such Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize or eliminate any potential deductions and withholdings and such payee shall have the opportunity to reduce or eliminate such withholding in a manner consistent with applicable legal requirements.
1.11Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Acquirer with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
1.12Exchange Rate. Any amounts to be converted into U.S. Dollars for the purpose of calculating any amounts under this Agreement, including the amount of the Company Net Working Capital, shall be converted into Dollars at the rate of exchange as published by the Wall Street Journal at

1.13Waiver of Rights. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives all of its rights, including the right of first refusal and the transfer restrictions imposed by or on the Company as a shareholder of the Indian Subsidiary and any other rights that the Company may have, whether under the articles of association of the Indian Subsidiary, Applicable Law or any other agreement or otherwise in respect of the transfer of the shares of the Indian Subsidiary held by any shareholder to Acquirer or a designee thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The Acquirer shall control any such Tax Proceeding of or with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that Acquirer shall keep the Stockholders’ Agent reasonably informed as to the status of the Tax Contest and consider in good faith the reasonable comments of the Stockholders’ Agent with respect to the Tax Contest and any settlement, compromise or abandonment thereof. If Acquirer settles or compromises any Tax Contest without the consent of the Stockholders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), such settlement or compromise shall not be determinative of the indemnification obligations of the Converting Holders hereunder.

Article VIII
Escrow Fund and Indemnification
1.1Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties made by the Company herein, in the Company Disclosure Letter, and in the other certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the Escrow Release Date; provided that, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, Fundamental Representations will remain operative and in full force and effect until the date that is seven years following the Closing Date, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) for claims against the Converting Holders that seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of an
77

inaccuracy in such representations or warranties; provided, further, that (x) no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim that is set forth in a Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties shall be affected by such expiration and (y) that such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Person under Article VIII or otherwise to seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The representations and warranties made by Acquirer herein and in the other certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the Escrow Release Date. All covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants, agreements and obligations provide that they are to be performed after the Closing; provided that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant, agreement or obligation shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant, agreement or obligation .
1.2Indemnity Escrow Fund.
(a)At the Closing, Acquirer will withhold the Indemnity Escrow Amount from the Aggregate Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4(a) and deposit the Indemnity Escrow Amount with PNC Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), such deposit, together with any interest that may be earned thereon, to constitute an escrow fund (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) and to be governed by this Agreement and the escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit M with such changes as Acquirer and, if prior to the Closing, the Company and if following the Closing, the Stockholders’ Agent may agree in writing (the “Escrow Agreement”).
(b)The Indemnity Escrow Fund shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Converting Holders under this Article VIII. Subject to Section 8.5, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrow Fund until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date that is 15 months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”). Neither the Indemnity Escrow Fund (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any Encumbrance, sold, assigned or transferred by any Converting Holder or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Converting Holder, in each case prior to the distribution of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to any Converting Holder in accordance with Section 8.2(c), except by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law.
(c)Within five Business Days following the Escrow Release Date, Acquirer (or its agent) and the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver a joint written instruction (a “Joint Instruction”) to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute to each Converting Holder such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, less that portion of the Escrow Fund that is determined, in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer, to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or prior to the Escrow Release Date in accordance with this Article VIII (any such claim, a “Pending Claim”), which portion shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied (it being understood that the portion withheld for a particular unsatisfied or disputed claim will only be available to satisfy such claim and not any other unsatisfied or disputed claim, except to the extent that the amount of all such claims exceeds the amount then in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (meaning the same dollars are subject to multiple claims)).
1.3Indemnification.
(a)Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, each Converting Holder shall severally but not jointly indemnify, defend and hold harmless Acquirer and its officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity), agents and other Representatives and each Person, if any, who controls or may control Acquirer within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Indemnified Person for, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, fees, Taxes, interest costs, and expenses, including penalties and costs of investigation, defense and enforcement and reasonable fees
78

and expenses of counsel, experts and other professionals, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), related to or arising out of:
(i)any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein (as modified by or disclosed against in the Company Disclosure Letter), in any Transaction Document or in the Company Disclosure Letter to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date or dates);
(ii)any failure of any certification, representation or warranty made by the Company in any certificate (other than the Spreadsheet and the Company Closing Financial Certificate) delivered to Acquirer pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date such certificate is delivered to Acquirer;
(iii)any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations made by the Company herein, in any Transaction Document or the Company Disclosure Letter required to be performed by the Company at or prior to the Closing;
(iv)any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet or the Company Closing Financial Certificate (excluding any unpaid Transaction Expenses, inaccuracy in Company Cash, outstanding Company Debt or Closing Net Working Capital Deduction where, in each case, the underlying facts contributing to such inaccuracies were known to Acquirer at the time of the review and settlement of the Acquirer Closing Statement or reasonably capable of being included in such Acquirer Closing Statement);
(v)any payments or issuances made with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments or issuances, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable and issuable pursuant to Section 1.4 upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, and any interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with the exercise of any dissenters’ or appraisal rights;
(vi)any claims by any then-current or former or alleged then-current or former holder of any Equity Interests of the Company in their capacity as such relating to or arising out of (A) the Transactions or this Agreement, including the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration or any portion thereof, or (B) such Person’s status or alleged status as a holder of Equity Interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary at any time at or prior to the Closing, whether for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise;
(vii)any Pre-Closing Taxes (including any Taxes described in Section 1.9, other than the amount to be borne by Acquirer);
(viii)the matters set forth on Schedule G; and
(ix)any Fraud by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein or in the Company Disclosure Letter.
(b)Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, each Converting Holder shall severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by such Converting Holder in any Transaction Document to which such Converting Holder is a party to be true and correct as of the date of such Transaction Document and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date or dates); (ii) any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations made by such Converting Holder in any Transaction Document to which such Converting Holder is a party required to be performed by such Converting Holder at or prior to the Closing and (iii) any Fraud by or on behalf of such Converting Holder (any such claim, an “Individual Claim”). The Indemnified Person(s) shall have
79

the option of seeking satisfaction for any Individual Claim out of such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnity Escrow Fund or directly from such Converting Holder.
(c)Materiality standards or qualifications, qualifications or requirements that a matter be or not be “reasonably expected” or “reasonably likely” to occur and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to a breach, default or failure to be true and correct of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether a breach has occurred.
1.4Indemnifiable Damage Threshold; Other Limitations.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnified Person may make a claim in respect of any claim for Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of the matters listed in Section 8.3(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a)(ii) (other than claims to the extent relating to or arising out of (i) Fraud, (ii) the Fundamental Representations or (iii) the representations or warranties of the Company in any certificate delivered to Acquirer pursuant to this Agreement to the extent within the scope of those covered by the Fundamental Representations (clauses (i)-(iii), the “Special Representations”)) unless and until Acquirer suffers Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such provisions in an aggregate amount greater than $4,000,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement for all Indemnifiable Damages (including the amount of the Basket). The Basket shall not apply to any other Indemnifiable Damages or claims therefor.
(b)If the Merger is consummated, recovery up to the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be the cap for the indemnity obligations of each Converting Holder under this Agreement for Indemnifiable Damages (and not specific performance or other equitable remedies) relating to or arising out of the matters listed in clauses (i), (ii) or (viii), of Section 8.3(a) collectively, except in the case of claims relating to or arising out of the Special Representations.
(c)In the case of any claims for Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of (i) the failure of any of the Special Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid or (ii) the matters listed in Section 8.3(a)(iii)-8.3(a)(vii)) and Section 8.3(ix) (collectively, “Fundamental Claims”), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon all the cash held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Persons), or following the Escrow Release Date, each Converting Holder shall have Liability for such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom. In the case of Individual Claims, the Converting Holder whose breach gives rise to such Individual Claim shall have Liability for the amount of Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom (and no Converting Holder shall have any liability with respect to any Individual Claim against another Converting Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the total Liability of a Converting Holder for any claims related to or in connection with this Article VIII, including Fundamental Claims shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Consideration allocated to such Converting Holder (inclusive of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount and any claims made against the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount; provided that for purposes of calculating the maximum Liability of a Converting Holder for such claims, shares of Acquirer Common Stock that are forfeited under the terms of an applicable Vesting Agreement shall be deemed to have been recovered hereunder in satisfaction of such maximum Liability; provided, further, the liability of a Converting Holder shall not be limited in connection with any claims arising out or resulting from any Fraud relating to this Agreement and the Transactions committed by or on behalf of such Converting Holder (such Fraud, “Personal Fraud”).
(d)Claims for Indemnifiable Damages under Section 8.3(a) shall be recovered, first, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and, only after the Indemnity Escrow Fund has each been exhausted, then directly from the Converting Holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
80

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amounts that an Indemnified Person recovers from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to Fundamental Claims or Individual Claims shall not reduce the amount that an Indemnified Person may recover with respect to claims that are not Fundamental Claims or Individual Claims. By way of illustration and not limitation, assuming there are no other claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from a Fundamental Claim are first satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and such recovery fully depletes the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a subsequent claim that is not a Fundamental Claim shall continue to be the full dollar value of the Indemnity Escrow Fund irrespective of the fact that the Indemnity Escrow Fund was used to satisfy such Fundamental Claim, such that the amount recoverable for such two claims would be the same regardless of the chronological order in which they were made. Similarly, by way of illustration and not limitation, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from an Individual Claim are first satisfied out of such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a subsequent claim that is not an Individual Claim shall continue to be the full value of such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Indemnifiable Damages, irrespective of the fact that the Indemnity Escrow Fund was used to satisfy such Individual Claim, such that the amount recoverable for such two claims would be the same regardless of the chronological order in which they were made or whether recovery is made from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or directly against such Converting Holder.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Converting Holder shall have any right of indemnification, compensation, reimbursement, contribution or right of advancement from Acquirer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any other Indemnified Person (based upon such Converting Holder’s position as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or otherwise) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by any Indemnified Person or any right of subrogation against the Company with respect to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement of an Indemnified Person with respect to any payments such Converting Holder is required to make in their capacity as a Converting Holder providing indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3, (ii) the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Persons after the Closing shall not be limited by (x) any investigation by or on behalf of, or disclosure to (other than in the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to Section 8.3(a)(i) and Section 8.3(a)(ii), subject to any limitations expressly set forth therein), any Indemnified Person at or prior to the Closing regarding any failure, breach or other event or circumstance or (y) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto, and (iii) if an Indemnified Person’s claim under this Article VIII may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article VIII such that such claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Person shall have the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such claim permitted in accordance with this Article VIII; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Indemnified Person be entitled to duplicative recovery for any claims for indemnity under this Agreement.
(g)All Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of the amount of any actual recoveries by an Indemnified Person prior to the Escrow Release Date under any existing insurance policies (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) in respect of any Indemnifiable Damages incurred by any Indemnified Person. If an Indemnified Person receives any amounts prior to the Escrow Release Date under applicable insurance policies or third party contractual indemnification or contribution provisions subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the Converting Holders (including via the Indemnity Escrow Fund), then such Indemnified Person will, without duplication, promptly reimburse the Converting Holders (including via the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if applicable) for any indemnification payment made by such Converting Holders up to the amount received by the Indemnified Person (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any insurance recoveries or third party contractual indemnification or contribution (except that Acquirer shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to recover Indemnifiable Damages from the Tail Insurance Coverage, to the extent such policy covers any Indemnifiable Damages, it being
81

understood that doing so will not preclude Acquirer from first making a claim under Section 8.3(a) to reserve its rights hereunder).
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for any (i) Indemnifiable Damages related to or arising from the amount or availability in any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any Tax asset or attribute of the Company or any Company Subsidiary attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) any Taxes arising from any transaction entered into by Acquirer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company or any Company Subsidiary) outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date; (iii) Liabilities attributable to any Specified Taxes; (iv) Taxes arising from a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 2.12 for a Tax period (or portion of a Tax period) beginning after the Closing Date, other than a breach of Sections 2.12(i), 2.12(j), 2.12(o), 2.12(q), 2.12(r), 2.12(s), 2.12(t), 2.12(u), 2.12(v), 2.12(w), 2.12(x), 2.12(y), 2.12(aa) and 2.12(bb) or (v) the fifty-percent of any Transfer Taxes allocated to Acquirer pursuant to Section 1.9.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for any Losses to the extent that such amounts have been accurately reflected in the calculation of Company Debt, Transaction Expenses or the Closing Net Working Capital Deduction.
(j)If a Converting Holder is required to directly satisfy any claim for Indemnifiable Damages, then such Converting Holder shall satisfy its Pro Rata Share of such Indemnifiable Damages in a combination of cash and shares of Acquirer Common Stock (by the Converting Holder delivering documentation evidencing the cancellation of such shares of Acquirer Common Stock in a form reasonably acceptable to Acquirer) in the same proportion of cash and shares of Acquirer Common Stock allocated to such Converting Holder; provided that any such satisfaction of claims is made in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 1.8.
(k)For purposes of this Article VIII, shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be valued at the Acquirer Stock Price.
(l)Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to the extent required under the laws of the State of Delaware to mitigate its Indemnifiable Damages; provided that Acquirer shall have no obligation to seek any recovery or pursue any action against any current or former customer, vendor, supplier, or reseller of Acquirer or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries).
(m)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to limit or waive any right or remedy of Acquirer or any Indemnified Person (i) for claims based on Personal Fraud, (ii) for claims for specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies and (iii) remedies under any other Transaction Document against the parties thereto pursuant to the terms of such Transaction Document. Other than with respect to the foregoing, this Article VIII constitutes the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Person to collect or recover any Indemnifiable Damages from the Converting Holders for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
1.5Period for Claims. The period (each, as applicable, a “Claims Period”) during which claims may be made (i) for Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of the matters listed in Section 8.3(a)(i) and Section 8.3(a)(ii) (other than claims relating to or arising out of the Special Representations) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Escrow Release Date and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages relating to or arising out of all other matters, including Fundamental Claims, shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date that is seven years following the Closing Date (subject to the resolution of any claims pending at such time). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund as in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or
82

prior to the Escrow Release Date shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied.
1.6Claims.
(a)From time to time during the Claims Period, Acquirer may deliver to the Stockholders’ Agent one or more certificates signed by any officer of Acquirer (each, a “Claim Certificate”):
(i)stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it is reasonably likely to incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages;
(ii)stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Acquirer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and
(iii)specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquirer) (A) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related and (B) the relevant provisions of this Agreement which entitle Acquirer to indemnity in respect thereof.
(b)Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Acquirer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Acquirer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Stockholders’ Agent or the Converting Holders are materially prejudiced thereby.
1.7Resolution of Objections to Claims.
(a)If the Stockholders’ Agent does not contest, by written notice to Acquirer, any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Acquirer to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.
(b)If the Stockholders’ Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period set forth in Section 8.7(a), Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Acquirer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall so agree, a Joint Instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared. Prior to depletion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver such Joint Instructions to the Escrow Agent and upon receipt of such Joint Instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Acquirer an amount in cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such Joint Instruction and Acquirer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Joint Instruction and cancel a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Joint Instruction.
(c)If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 8.7(a), but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Acquirer or the Stockholders’ Agent may bring an action in accordance with the terms of Section 9.10 to
83

resolve the matter. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto and the Converting Holders, and Acquirer shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Acquirer an amount in cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.
(d)Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
1.8Stockholders’ Agent.
(a)At the Closing, Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, shall be constituted and appointed as the Stockholders’ Agent. The Stockholders’ Agent shall be, by virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Converting Holders and without any further action of any of the Converting Holders or the Company, and hereby is, effective as of the Closing, appointed by the Converting Holders as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent for and on behalf of the Converting Holders under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to: (i) execute, as the Stockholders’ Agent, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the Transactions, (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 Converting Holder, to or from Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions 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 Converting Holder individually), (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize the release of funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Adjustment Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this Article VIII, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.7, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators 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 by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Converting Holder or necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent 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 Converting Holders, (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 Converting Holders (other than with respect to the payment and issuance of the Aggregate Consideration less the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnity Escrow Amount ) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein and (viii) take or refrain from taking all actions necessary or appropriate in the sole judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Agent shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Converting Holders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholders’ Agent in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Letter. Acquirer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Forts Advisors LLC as the Stockholders’ Agent and treat such Stockholders’ Agent as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Converting Holder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 8.8. The Converting Holders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Stockholders’ Agent in connection with this Article VIII, and Acquirer and other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely exclusively on any action or decision of the Stockholders’ Agent. The Person serving as the Stockholders’ Agent may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Stockholders’ Agent, then a successor may be appointed, by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate cash then held in the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnity Escrow Fund upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Acquirer. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Agent or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Agent.
84

(b)Certain Converting Holders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholders’ Agent to provide direction to the Stockholders’ Agent in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement (such Converting Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholders’ Agent Group”) shall be liable to any Converting Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Stockholders’ Agent or otherwise in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholders’ Agent’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholders’ Agent 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), unless and only to the extent such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Converting Holders shall severally but not jointly indemnify and defend the Stockholders’ Agent Group and hold them harmless against any loss, Liability, claim, damage, or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Agent and arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Agent by the Converting Holders, such losses, Liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Agent first, from the Expense Fund, second, from the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Converting Holders (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) on or after the Escrow Release Date pursuant to the terms hereof, at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Converting Holders, and such recovery will be made from the Converting Holders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such losses, Liabilities or expenses. The Converting Holders acknowledge that the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds 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, the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholders’ Agent has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholders’ Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent in performing such actions. The Stockholders’ Agent 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 Converting Holder or other party. All actions taken by the Stockholders’ Agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon each Converting Holder and such Converting Holder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Converting Holder, and all defenses which may be available to any Converting Holder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholders’ Agent taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement are waived. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholders’ Agent Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Converting Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Converting Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Adjustment Escrow Fund or the Indemnity 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 Stockholders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Stockholders’ Agent’s authority under Section 8.8(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 Converting Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Converting Holder; and each Indemnified Person 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 Converting Holder. Acquirer and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved
85

from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Stockholders’ Agent.
(d)Upon the Closing, Acquirer shall wire to the Stockholders’ Agent $500,000 (the “Expense Fund Amount”). The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Stockholders’ Agent in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Stockholders’ Agent for any loss, Liability, claim, damage or expense incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Stockholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Stockholders’ Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Agent 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. The Converting Holders will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Stockholders’ Agent any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholders’ Agent may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Converting Holders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Stockholders’ Agent that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Stockholders’ Agent shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and/or Acquirer, as applicable, for further distribution to the Converting Holders.
1.9Third-Party Claims. In the event Acquirer becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Acquirer in good faith believes is reasonably likely to result in a claim for Indemnifiable Damages by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle, compromise or resolve such Third-Party Claim. The out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Acquirer in connection with such defense, settlement, enforcement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer shall be entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder, and such costs and expenses shall constitute Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 8.2 regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of, resulted from or was in connection with a matter listed in Section 8.2; provided that such costs and expenses shall be subject to the same limitations on liability as are applicable to the matter, and for the purposes of determining the applicability of any limitations, aggregated with any Indemnifiable Damages for which such costs and expenses are associated; provided, further, that any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be determinative of the existence or amount of Indemnifiable Damages other than with respect to costs and expenses set forth above, nor be deemed to be conclusive evidence of the existence of a valid claim. Following delivery of the applicable Claims Certificate, the Stockholders’ Agent shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim; provided that the provision such documents to the Stockholders’ Agent does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, including by executing customary joint defense agreements or by providing redacted or partial portions of such information to the extent reasonable practicable, subject to execution by the Stockholders’ Agent of Acquirer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. Unless otherwise consented to in writing in advance by Acquirer in its sole discretion, the Stockholders’ Agent and its Affiliates may not participate in any Third-Party Claim or any action related to such Third-Party Claim and Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense or any such claims and the Stockholders’ Agent and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to control any discussions or negotiations in connection with the settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof. In the event that the Stockholders’ Agent has consented to the amount of any settlement or resolution by Acquirer of any such claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the Stockholders’ Agent shall have objected within 30 days after a written request therefor by Acquirer), neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor any Converting Holder shall have any power or authority to object under this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution.
86

1.10Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Acquirer, the Stockholders’ Agent and the Converting Holders agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article VIII as adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

1.2Interpretation. When a reference is made herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or subsection of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Where a reference is made to a Contract, instrument or Applicable Law, such reference is to such Contract, instrument or Applicable Law as amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Applicable Law) by succession of comparable successor Applicable Law and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender and neutral forms of such words, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (iv) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection, (v) references to a series of clauses are inclusive of the endpoint clauses (e.g., “clause (x) through (y)” is inclusive of clauses (x) and (y)), (vi) references to any Person include the predecessors, successors and permitted assigns of that Person, (vii) references from or through any date shall mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively, (viii) subject to clause (ix), the phrases “provide to,” “made available” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import mean that a true, correct and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided and (ix) the phrases “provided to Acquirer” or “made available to Acquirer” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of the Company or its Affiliates, that such information, document or material was made available for review by the Company and its Representatives in the virtual data room established by the Company in connection with this Agreement at least 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement or actually delivered (whether by physical or electronic delivery) to Acquirer or its Representatives at least 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement. The symbol “$” refers to United States Dollars. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” All references to “days” shall be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.” Any action otherwise required to be taken on a day that is not a Business Day shall instead be required to be taken on the next succeeding Business Day, and if the last day of a time period is a non-Business Day, such period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless indicated otherwise, all mathematical calculations contemplated by this Agreement shall be rounded to the fifth decimal place, except in respect of payments, which shall be rounded to the nearest whole United States cent.
1.3Amendment. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement by authorized action at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing, if prior to the Closing, signed by Acquirer and the Company (and, solely to the extent any such amendment has a negative impact on the Stockholders’ Agent, the Stockholders’ Agent), and if following the Closing, signed by Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent; provided that after the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further approval. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent.
88

1.4Extension; Waiver. At any time at or prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto owed to such party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive any breaches of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. At any time after the Closing, Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other owed to such party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive any breaches of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing that is (a) prior to the Closing with respect to the Company and/or the Company Stockholders, signed by the Company, (b) after the Closing with respect to the Converting Holders and/or the Stockholders’ Agent, signed by the Stockholders’ Agent and (c) with respect to Acquirer and/or Merger Subs, signed by Acquirer. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision herein.
1.5Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The delivery by facsimile or by electronic delivery in PDF format (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) of this Agreement with all executed signature pages (in counterparts or otherwise) shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument and each counterpart will constitute an original of this Agreement.
1.6Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms and (b) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Article VIII is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons, Section 5.13 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties), and each of Section 1.5(e) and the proviso in the final sentence of Section 5.5(b) is intended to benefit each Company Stockholder.
1.7Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Acquirer may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer without the prior consent of any other party hereto; provided that notwithstanding any such assignment, Acquirer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
1.8Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
89

1.9Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by any party hereto of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereto hereby waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with the remedies described herein.
1.10Governing Law. This Agreement, all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and all obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the federal courts of the United States of America and the courts of the State of Delaware, in each case, located within the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions and such documents (including resolution of disputes under Section 8.7), and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or federal court. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the Person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in the City of Wilmington, Delaware.
1.11Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, each Schedule and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Applicable Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
1.12Acquirer Stock Price. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Acquirer Stock Price is not intended and shall not be deemed to represent the actual fair market value of the Acquirer Common Stock on the Closing Date.
1.13WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF ACQUIRER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ACQUIRER OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
1.14Attorney-Client Privilege.
90
