(c) Following the Closing, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the Earnout Payments (as defined below), if any, in accordance with and pursuant to Section 1.2.

The amounts payable pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 1.1, subject, in each case, to adjustment as provided herein, is referred to as the “Purchase Price”.

Section 1.2 Post-Closing Earnout.

(a) Earnout Amounts. In accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), for each of the twelve month periods ended on December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 (each, an “Earnout Year” and, collectively, the “Earnout Period”), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers in accordance with the Consideration Notice an annual amount (the “Earnout Amount”) as follows:

(i) for the Earnout Year ending December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Earnout Year”), (A) if the Company achieves an Operating Income (as defined below) of U.S. $3,000,000 or more, then the Earnout Amount for the 2018 Earnout Year shall be equal to U.S. $1,000,000, and (B) if the Company achieves an Operating Income of less than U.S. $3,000,000, then no Earnout Amount shall have been earned for the 2018 Earnout Year;

(b) Determination of Earnout Amounts; Disputes.

(i) Within 90 days following the completion of each Earnout Year, the Buyer shall calculate the consolidated Operating Income of the Company for such Earnout Year and will deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement setting forth the computation of the Operating Income for such Earnout Year (including all material calculations thereof) and the Earnout Amount for such Earnout Year, if any. For purposes of this Section 1.2, “Operating Income” shall mean the consolidated gross revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries less all costs of revenue and operating expenses (including allocation of overhead) calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied. For purposes of calculating Operating Income, with respect to Exchange Income (as defined below) only fifty percent (50%) of such Exchange Income originated by the Buyer or its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be included in such calculation of Operating Income. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Exchange Income earned from advertisers or demand sources introduced by the Buyer or its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) would be deemed Exchange Income “originated by the Buyer” for purposes of computing Operating Income, and (ii) all Exchange Income originated by the Company shall be included in Operating Income). In addition, any media buying or any other ad spending by the Buyer or its Affiliates through the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ (as defined below) platforms shall be excluded from the computation of Operating Income. At least once annually, a representative of Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall meet and discuss in good faith the annual operating and capital expenditure budgets, and the good faith recommendations of the Stockholder Representative shall be taken into account in setting such budgets; provided, however, that the final determinations relating to such annual budgets shall be made by the Buyer. For purposed of this Agreement, “Exchange Income” means consolidated gross revenues of the Company that is generated from bona fide sales to Persons in connection with the Company’s ad exchange less all costs of revenue and operating expenses (including allocation of overhead) associated with such revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Any revenues of the Company generated by sales to any Affiliates of the Buyer will not be included in the calculation of “Operating Income”.

(ii) Within fifteen (15) days after the Operating Income calculation for any Earnout Year has been delivered to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to clause (i) above, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Buyer either (y) a written acknowledgment accepting the Operating Income calculation for such Earnout Year or (z) a written report setting forth in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the Operating Income calculation for such Earnout Year. If the Stockholder Representative fails to respond to the Buyer within such 15-day period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Buyer’s Operating Income calculation for such Earnout Year. The Stockholder Representative and his attorneys and accountants shall have the right to inspect and copy any relevant books and records, including the records and accountants work papers, of the Company that is in the possession of the Company during normal business hours in order to verify the accuracy of the Operating Income calculation for any Earnout Year and, upon reasonable prior notice, shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer, such accountants and those persons responsible for the preparation of the calculation of the Earnout Amount.

(iii) In the event that the Stockholder Representative and the Buyer fail to agree on any of the Stockholder Representative’s proposed adjustments fifteen (15) days after the Buyer receives such adjustments, the Buyer and the Stockholder Representative agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in the manner contemplated by Section 1.5(c) below and the allocation of costs relating to the Independent Accounting Firm contemplated by Section 1.5(d) below.

(c) Payment of Earnout Amounts. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(iii) hereof, all amounts owed pursuant to this Section 1.2 (the “Earnout Payments”) will be paid, subject to any right of setoff hereunder, including pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, by the Buyer to Stockholder Representative for the benefit of the Sellers or, at the direction of the Stockholder Representative, in accordance with, and in the same proportion as set forth on the Consideration Notice by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such accounts as may be designated in the Consideration Notice, from time to time, no later than April 30th of the year following each applicable Earnout Year. Any Earnout Payment to be paid by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.2(c) shall be net of any Transaction Expenses then payable or otherwise outstanding, including any amounts then payable to the Company Broker (such that, any Transaction Expenses then due (including any amount owed the Company Broker) are deducted from the applicable Earnout Payment otherwise payable by the Buyer). By way of example, if the full Earnout Amount for the 2018 Earnout Year is earned and the Buyer at that time has no claim for offset and no other Transaction Expenses outstanding other than to the Company Broker, then the Buyer would pay to the Stockholder Representative for the benefit of the Sellers a net amount equal to $950,000, comprised of the $1,000,000 Earnout Amount for the 2018 Earnout Year less $50,000 then payable to the Company Broker (an amount equal to 5% of the Earnout Amount owed pursuant to the Board Advisor Agreement) payable to the Company Broker pursuant to the Board Advisor Agreement, subject to any applicable withholding Taxes.

(d) Buyer Change of Control. Neither the Company nor Buyer shall cause or permit to occur a Change of Control prior to May 1, 2021, unless either (i) the Company and the Buyer or their successor remain obligated to continue to honor their obligations pursuant to this Section 1.2, or (ii) the Person or Persons who acquire or succeed to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries have agreed in connection with such Change of Control to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.2 and the obligations of the Buyer under this Section 1.2.

(e) Certain Covenants.

(i) The Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business post-Closing in such a manner as to be able to track all financial matters and related items necessary for calculating all Earnout Amounts due hereunder and, in connection therewith, shall keep true, complete and accurate books of account and records in the ordinary course of business, covering all transactions relating to the subject matter of this Section 1.2 (“Records”). The Company shall maintain the Records for each Earnout Year for a period of one (1) year after the end of such Earnout Year.

(ii) Neither the Buyer nor the Company may, or may cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, intentionally take any action (or fail to take any action) or intentionally enter into any transaction the principal goal of which is to adversely affect any of the Earnout Amounts; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the Buyer from taking any action (or failing to take any action) that is intended for the good of the Buyer, taken as a whole, so long as the Buyer complies with its obligation to act in good faith pursuant to this Section 1.2(e)(ii). Each party hereto agrees that, from the Closing until all installments of all Earnout Amounts payable hereunder are paid in full, it shall, with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, act in good faith and the spirit of fair dealing such that the intent of this Agreement is carried out to the fullest extent practicable.

The Estimated Net Working Capital and the Estimated Indebtedness shall be calculated in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Schedule 1.4(a)(I) hereto (the “Accounting Principles”) and shall be presented in U.S. dollars. All calculations of Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Stockholder Representative certifying, on behalf of the Sellers, that such estimates have been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Agreement. All such estimates shall be subject to the Buyer’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall control solely for purposes of determining the amounts payable at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 and shall not limit or otherwise affect the Buyer’s remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, or constitute an acknowledgement by the Buyer of the accuracy of the amounts reflected thereof.

Section 1.5 Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) Within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) that shall include and set forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of 11:59 pm on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a calculation of the actual (A) Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (B) Indebtedness (excluding the amount of the Payoff Indebtedness) (the “Closing Indebtedness”), and (C) Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”) (with each of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses determined as of 11:59 pm on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and, except for the Closing Transaction Expenses, without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein). The Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and shall be presented in U.S. dollars.

(b) The Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, delivers to the Buyer written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any dispute as to the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement. The Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Transaction Expenses not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 1.5(c). Any Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and/or the Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected on the Final Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Section 1.5.

(c) During the 15-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, to the Buyer, the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the computation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as specified therein. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Stockholder Representative and the Buyer within such 15-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, and the Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, and the Buyer have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 15-day period, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, and the Buyer shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm jointly appointed by the Buyer and the Stockholder Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Stockholder Representative’s and the Buyer’s respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Stockholder Representative and the Buyer have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be such independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by the Stockholder Representative and the Buyer. The Stockholder Representative and the Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 6.5. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(d) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid jointly, one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Sellers (on a joint and several basis); provided that, if the difference between the actual Net Adjustment Amount (as defined below) and the Net Adjustment Amount that would have resulted from the use of the proposed calculations of one of the parties hereto (the “Erroneous Party”) is more than twice as great as the difference between the actual Net Adjustment Amount (as defined below) and the Net Adjustment Amount that would have resulted from the use of the other party’s proposed calculations, the Erroneous Party shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(e) The Buyer and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, will, and will cause the Company to, afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 1.5. Each party shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations of the Net Working Capital and Indebtedness as specified in this Section 1.5; provided, that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.

(f) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(i) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (A) the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5 minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, plus (B) the Estimated Indebtedness minus the Closing Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5, plus (D) the Estimated Transaction Expenses minus the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5;

(ii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, (A) the Buyer shall pay the Net Adjustment Amount to the Stockholder Representative to be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Sellers or, at the direction of the Stockholder Representative, in accordance with, and in the same proportion as set forth on the Consideration Notice, and (B) the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price Holdback Amount to the Stockholder Representative to be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Sellers or, at the direction of the Stockholder Representative, in accordance with, and in the same proportion as set forth on the Consideration Notice; and

(iii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (iii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, the Buyer shall retain the portion of Purchase Price Holdback Amount representing the Net Adjustment Amount, and the Sellers will no longer have a right to payment of that portion of the Purchase Price Holdback Amount. If the Purchase Price Holdback Amount is insufficient to cover the entire amount payable to the Buyer pursuant hereto, then the Buyer shall retain the entire Purchase Price Holdback Amount, and the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, shall be obligated to pay any such deficiency; provided that the Buyer shall first deduct an amount equal to such deficiency from what is otherwise payable by the Buyer to the Sellers as part of any Deferred Payment (it being understood that if the Deferred Payment is no longer payable pursuant to this Agreement or is otherwise insufficient, the Sellers shall be obligated to pay such deficiency upon demand). In the event the amount of funds in the Purchase Price Holdback Amount exceeds the Net Adjustment Amount, then the Buyer shall pay the remaining balance of the Purchase Price Holdback Amount to the Stockholder Representative to be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Sellers.

(g) Amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 1.5(f) shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate equal to 10%, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed. Payments in respect of Section 1.5(f) shall be made within three (3) Business Days of final determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.5 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

Section 1.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer and each of its agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements such amounts as it determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any provision of applicable Tax Law. Any such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.7 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, any terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit E attached hereto.

Section 4.1 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall from time to time do such further acts and execute and deliver such further documents regarding its obligations hereunder as may be required solely for the purpose of (a) accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or (b) assuring and confirming the validity of any documents of conveyance to be delivered at Closing.

Section 4.2 Confidential Information.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, each of the Sellers shall not, and shall cause its respective directors, officers and employees not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information (as defined below). Each of the Sellers shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause its respective officers, directors or employees to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is (i) specifically required by applicable Law or stock exchange regulation and/or (ii) necessary to enforce such Seller’s rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, such Seller shall, to the extent reasonably possible and except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4.2, provide the Buyer and the Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that the Buyer and the Company may seek an appropriate protective order; provided further, that in the event a protective order is not obtained in a timely manner, such Seller may disclose the Confidential Information required to be disclosed. For purposes of this Section 4.2, “Confidential Information” means any proprietary information with respect to the Company, the Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries, including methods of operation, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, technology, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder or, (iii) following the date of this Agreement, is received from a third party not known to be bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Buyer or the Company.

(b) Neither the Buyer nor any Seller will disclose to any Person any information with respect to the legal, financial or other terms or conditions of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The foregoing does not restrict the right of any party to disclose such information (i) to its respective advisors to the extent reasonably required to facilitate the negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (ii) to any Governmental Authority or arbitrator to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Proceeding relating to the enforcement of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 4.2 shall prohibit Buyer from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent necessary or appropriate with respect to such Buyer’s preparation of audited financial statements and to comply with such Buyer’s obligations under the rules and regulations of the SEC or any applicable stock exchange.

Section 4.3 Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller unconditionally and irrevocably and forever releases and discharges the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Buyer, their respective successors and assigns, and any present or former directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”), of and from, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, any and all claims, debts, losses, expenses, proceedings, covenants, liabilities, suits, judgments, damages, actions and causes of action, obligations, accounts, and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in contract or in tort, direct or indirect, at law or in equity, that such Seller ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any of the Company Released Parties, for or by reason of any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this release does not extend to (a) any claim to enforce the terms or any breach of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any document or agreement delivered hereunder or any of the provisions set forth herein or therein (including, without limitation, the obligation for the Buyer to make any payments to the Sellers under Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.5(f) hereof); or (b) any claim a Seller, in his, her or its capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have in respect of any compensation, severance or other benefits earned but not yet paid, provided that such severance or benefits obligations are disclosed on Schedule 2.12.

Section 4.4 Cooperation with Company Financial Information. The Sellers agree to assist the Buyer and the Company, as reasonably requested by the Buyer, in the preparation of any required financial statements or other disclosures required by the rules and regulations of the SEC (including Regulation S-X) relating to the Company, including, without limitation, in the preparation of post-Close financial statements (including pro forma financial statements) and the timely preparation of required Current Reports to be filed or furnished by the Buyer. In connection with the foregoing, the Sellers agree to provide access to financial and other relevant information, as needed, in order to prepare such required financial statements and make such other disclosures.

Section 4.5 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Certificate and Notice. Prior to the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall have delivered to the Buyer (i) a properly executed certificate of the Company certifying that the Company is not, and has not been, a United States real property holding corporation, within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code, during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(a)(ii) of the Code, which certificate complies with the requirements of Section 1445 of the Code and (ii) a form of notice to the IRS prepared in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2), each in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(b) Straddle Period. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (x) the amount of any Taxes measured by income, gross receipts, payments, sales, or payroll of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and (y) the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such other Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period; provided that, in the case of clause (y), exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements, Tax allocation agreements or similar agreements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and any Seller (or any of their Affiliates), on the other hand, shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability or obligation thereunder.

Section 4.5 Public Statements or Releases. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto agrees that no party to this Agreement will make, issue or release any public announcement, statement or acknowledgment of the existence of, or reveal the status of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any negotiations or discussions related hereto, without first obtaining, in the case of any Seller or the Stockholder Representative, the prior written consent of the Buyer, and in the case of the Buyer, the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which, in either case, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall prohibit Buyer from complying with such Buyer's obligations under the rules and regulations of the SEC or any applicable stock exchange.

Section 4.6 Director and Officer Liability, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiary to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or similar governing documents) relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any of its officers and directors (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries who existed as officers and directors of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Closing, and their heirs, executors, administrators and other representatives (the “Covered Persons”), shall receive the same extent of exculpation and indemnification coverage after the Closing with respect to matters covered as of the Closing as they were entitled to prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.6 shall require the Buyer or the Company to continue to provide the same or similar exculpation and indemnification for a Covered Persons with respect to any such person serving as an officer or director of the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to events occurring following the Closing Date.

(b) If the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then the Buyer shall cause proper provisions to be made so that such Person assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 4.6.

(c) This Section 4.6, which shall survive the Closing and shall continue for the periods specified herein, is intended to bind the Buyer and the Company and inure to the benefit of the Covered Persons, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 4.6 (whether or not parties to this Agreement). The provisions of this Section 4.6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights to indemnification, contribution or exculpation or liability that any Covered Person may be entitled to or hereafter acquire under any law, agreement or provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent governing documents) of the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries.

All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing, through the final determination of the Earnout Amount for the 2019 Earnout Year pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.16 (Taxes) will survive until the close of business on the 120^th day following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the underlying claim, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization and Qualification), 2.2 (Authority), 2.3 (No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 2.4 (Shares), 2.5 (Capitalization), 2.6 (Subsidiaries; Equity Interests), 2.15 (Intellectual Property), 2.20 (Brokers), 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authority), and 3.5 (Brokers), and (iii) any representation in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach, will survive indefinitely.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims for indemnification asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from before the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 5.1 will not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims will survive until finally resolved. The representations and warranties listed in clauses (i) and (ii) in the first sentence of this Section 5.1 will be referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations”.

Section 5.2 Indemnification by the Sellers. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in Section 5.6 hereof, each of the Sellers, severally, but not jointly (other than the Founders), shall (and the Founders on a joint and several basis shall) save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and the respective representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, diminution of value, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to or consisting of:

(a) any breach, or any Third Party Claim alleging facts of which would constitute a breach, of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers contained in this Agreement (other than any representations made in Sections 2.1(a), 2.2(a), 2.3 (to the extent the breach relates to a specific Seller), and 2.4), any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;

(b) any breach, or any Third Party Claim alleging facts of which would constitute a breach, of any representation or warranty made by such Seller (but not any other Seller) contained in Section 2.1(a), 2.2(a), 2.3, or 2.4 of this Agreement;

(c) any breach, or any Third Party Claim alleging facts of which would constitute a breach, of any covenant or agreement by such Seller (but not any other Seller) contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(d) any and all Taxes (i) for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is liable (A) with respect to all periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (B) as a result of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group prior to the Closing, (C) as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date or (ii) arising out of or resulting from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (including Transfer Taxes (as defined below)), in each case, together with any costs or expenses or other Losses incurred in connection with the foregoing;

(e) any Transaction Expenses;

(f) any Indebtedness;

(g) any account receivable of the Company or its Subsidiaries that was included for purposes of determining the Net Adjustment Amount that remains uncollected 180 days following the Closing Date (and only to extent such amount is uncollected at such date);

(h) any of the Losses set forth on Schedule 5.2(h) attached hereto; and

(i) the Company’s failure to obtain the necessary approval by the Sellers, as stockholders of the Company, with respect to the payment of any “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes arising out of any loss of deductibility for Tax purposes of any compensation paid by the Buyer, the Company or their Subsidiaries to any person who was an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries on or prior to Closing resulting therefrom).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxx Xxxxx and the Company Broker, who are each selling Class C Common hereunder, shall be responsible for any and all Losses recoverable by a Buyer Indemnifiable Party pursuant to Section 5.2(b) and 5.2(c) only, and the Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereby agrees to not make any claim for indemnification against either Xxxx Xxxxx or the Company Broker pursuant to Section 5.2(a), other than in the case of fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, the Founders, on a joint and several basis, shall be responsible for any and all Losses recoverable by a Buyer Indemnifiable Party pursuant to this Section 5.2, and a Buyer Indemnified Party may pursue recovery for the amount of any Losses against a Founder without also seeking recovery against any of the other Sellers.

Section 5.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and the respective representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach, or any Third Party Claim alleging facts of which would constitute a breach, of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(b) any breach, or any Third Party Claim alleging facts of which would constitute a breach, of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.4 Claims.

(a) Notice. Any party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party,” which term shall include all Indemnified Parties if there is more than one) shall notify in writing the indemnifying party or parties hereto (the “Indemnifying Party,” which term shall include all Indemnifying Parties if there is more than one) of any action, suit, proceeding, demand or breach (a “Claim”) with respect to which the Indemnified Party claims indemnification hereunder, provided that failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations under this Article 5 except to the extent, if at all, that such Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Third Party Claims. If such Claim relates to any action, suit, proceeding or demand instituted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. Within 30 days after receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the Indemnifying Party shall have confirmed in writing within the time period specified above that it is obligated hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, including any and all Losses resulting or arising therefrom;

(ii) the Indemnified Party shall not have given the Indemnifying Party written notice that it has determined, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, that matters of corporate or management policy or a conflict of interest make separate representation by the Indemnified Party’s own counsel advisable (in which case, the cost and expense of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be included for purposes of computing any Losses); and

(iii) such Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief or relate to Taxes.

(c) The Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto, but the Indemnified Party shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

Section 5.5 Method and Manner of Paying Claims. In the event of any Claims under this Article 5, the Indemnified Party shall advise the Indemnifying Party in writing of the amount and circumstances surrounding such Claim. With respect to liquidated Claims, if within 30 days the Indemnifying Party has not contested such Claim in writing, the Indemnified Party will pay the full amount thereof within ten days after the expiration of such period. Any amount owed by an Indemnifying Party hereunder with respect to any Claim may be set-off by the Indemnified Party (at the sole option of the Indemnified Party) against any amounts owed by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, including, as to any Buyer Indemnified Party, any Deferred Payments and Earnout Amounts owed by the Buyer to the Sellers pursuant hereto. The unpaid balance of a Claim shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate announced by Citibank, N.A., as its “Base Rate” plus five percent (5%) from the date notice thereof is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 5.6 Limitations on Liability.

(a) An Indemnifying Party will not be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate Losses for which they would otherwise be liable under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.3(a), as the case may be, exceeds $25,000, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Losses in excess of that sum; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or to any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

(b) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Party against the Sellers (including the Founders) or the Seller Indemnified Party against the Buyer, as the case may be, arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price less the M&A Fee (as defined in the Board Advisor Agreement) actually paid to Company Broker as a Transaction Expense (the “Cap”); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or to any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation or to the indemnification obligation set forth in Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any Seller (other than the Founders) be liable to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties in the aggregate for Losses in excess of such Seller’s Seller Percentage of the Cap less all other amounts paid by such Seller for indemnification for Losses under Section 5.2 hereof (it being understood and agreed that the Founders, on a joint and several basis, are liable for any and all Losses recoverable by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 5 without regard to either Founder’s respective Seller Percentage); provided, that the foregoing limitation with respect to the non-Founder Sellers shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or to any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation or to the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 5.2(d) or 5.2(i).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification for any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent (but solely to the extent) such Loss or alleged Loss is taken into account in determining the Closing Net Working Capital and such amount is included in the calculation of the Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article 5 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds and other third-party recoveries to which any Indemnified Party actually receives less any increase in deductible and/or future cost of insurance as a result of making any such claim against any insurer or other indemnitor.

(e) With respect to any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party, no liability shall attach to the Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses to the extent that the same Losses have been recovered by the Indemnified Party from another Person, accordingly, the Indemnified Party may only recover once in respect of the same Loss.

(f) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses to the extent that they are in the nature of punitive damages, except to the extent any such Losses are components of any proceedings or awards of any Third-Party Claims for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 5.7 No Right of Indemnification or Contribution. No Seller has any right of indemnification or contribution against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any breach by the Sellers of any of their representations, warranties, statements, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered by or on behalf of any Seller or the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement .

Section 5.8 Purchase Price Adjustments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 5 shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder for applicable income Tax purposes, unless required by Law.

Section 5.9 Materiality Qualifiers. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree (i) that Materiality Qualifiers are to be used solely for the purpose of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred, and (ii) that once a breach has been determined to have occurred, Materiality Qualifiers will be ignored and the applicable Losses shall be calculated without regard to any Materiality Qualifiers contained in any such breached representation or warranty.

Section 5.10 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the remedies provided by this Article 5, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any party seeking recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 6.8 Assignment; Successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of (i) the Stockholder Representative, in the case of an assignment by the Buyer, and (ii) the Buyer, in the case of an assignment by a Seller, except that the Buyer may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or in the event of a change of control of the Buyer following the Closing Date so long the Buyer signing this Agreement as of the date hereof will remain jointly and severally liable for any obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Stockholder Representative.

(a) Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx is hereby designated by each of the Sellers to serve as the representative of Sellers with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.13 and with respect to the matters otherwise set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Stockholder Representative. Should the initial Stockholder Representative resign or be unable to serve, Sellers who collectively held more than 50% of the Shares as of the Closing Date shall be entitled to designate a single substitute agent to serve as the successor Stockholder Representative, who shall be the Stockholder Representative for all purposes thereafter. The appointment of such successor, in either case, shall be effective on the date of the Stockholder Representative’s resignation or incapacity or, if later, the date on which such successor is appointed.

(b) Each of the Sellers by the execution of this Agreement hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx as the Stockholder Representative to serve as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, including the full power and authority on such Seller’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and any post-Closing matters; (ii) to pay such Seller’s expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement (whether incurred on or after the date of this Agreement); (iii) to disburse any funds received hereunder to such Seller and each other Seller; (iv) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments representing the Shares and execute such further instruments of assignment as the Buyer or the Company shall reasonably request; (v) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Seller any amendment or waiver in connection with this Agreement and the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby as Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable; (vi) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Seller in connection herewith; (vii) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Seller(s) collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement; (viii) to prepare and distribute to each Seller any documentation necessary or desirable for the filing of income tax returns; and (ix) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith, including, without limitation, retaining counsel, accountants and other agents, representatives and experts, incurring fees and expenses, asserting or pursuing any claim against the Buyer, the Company and/or any Seller, defending any claims by the Buyer or third-party claims, consenting to, compromising or settling any such claims, conducting negotiations with the Buyer, the Company and their respective representatives regarding such claims, it being understood that the Stockholder Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions. Each Seller agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholder Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Seller. All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall not take any such action where such action materially and adversely affects the substantive rights or obligations of one Seller, or group of Sellers, without a similar proportionate effect upon the substantive rights or obligations of all Sellers, unless each such disproportionately affected Seller consents in writing thereto.

(c) Each Seller agrees that Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to rely on any action taken or omission to act by Stockholder Representative, on behalf of such Seller, pursuant to Section 6.13(b) above (an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Seller had taken such Authorized Action. Each Seller hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Stockholder Representative is made a party by reason of the fact it is or was acting as the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

(d) The Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the prompt payment by Sellers of all expenses incurred as Stockholder Representative.

(e) The Stockholder Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Seller. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Stockholder Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Stockholder Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholder Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Stockholder Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Seller by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Stockholder Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting fraud or bad faith.

(f) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date.

Section 6.14 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. A disclosure in any section or paragraph of any Schedule in Article II of this Agreement qualifies other sections and paragraphs in Article II of this Agreement only to the extent it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that a given disclosure is applicable to such other specific sections and paragraphs.

Section 6.15 Interpretation. In the negotiation of this Agreement, each party has received advice from its own attorneys. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no provision of this Agreement will be interpreted for or against any party because that party or its attorney drafted the provision.

Section 6.16 Founders Joint and Several Obligation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Founders shall be, on a joint and several basis, liable for any and all obligations of a Seller arising hereunder, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5 and Article 5, and such obligations of the Founders will be without any limits. Accordingly, the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be, may pursue recovery for the amount of any such obligations of a Seller without also seeking recovery against any other Seller hereunder.
