AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement And Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 9, 2015, by and among: Yelp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); Kale Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub I”); Quinoa Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II”, and with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”); Xxx00xxxxx.Xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Hacmon, Chen Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx And Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, each an individual (collectively, the “Major Stockholders”) and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as the Stockholders’ Agent (as defined in Section 5.1). Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 1.4(b) and Exhibit A.

Recitals

A. Parent, Merger Sub I and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub I into the Company (the “First Step Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and, to the extent applicable, the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”). Upon consummation of the First Step Merger, Merger Sub I will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

B. As soon as practicable following the First Step Merger, Parent intends to cause the Company to merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Step Merger” and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the “Integrated Merger” or the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Second Step Merger, the Company will cease to exist, and Merger Sub II will survive as wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Integrated Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Parent and the Company intend that the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger will constitute integrated steps in a single “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement.

C. Pursuant to the First Step Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein.

D. A portion of the consideration payable in connection with the First Step Merger shall be placed in escrow as security for the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.

E. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and certain employees of the Company are executing offer letters, and related documentation and agreements, in form and substance mutually agreed to by the parties thereto and delivering their respective countersignatures thereto (the “Offer Letters”).

F. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, each of the Major Stockholders is executing and delivering to Parent a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement in favor of Parent in form and substance mutually agreed to by the parties thereto (the “Non-Competition Agreements”).

G. The respective boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company have approved this Agreement and the Integrated Merger.

1.4 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Conversion. Subject to Section 1.5, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or any stockholder of the Company, each share of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent, following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 1.5, the following consideration:

The amount of cash, if any, that each stockholder of the Company is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such stockholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward) and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable for all shares of each class and series of Company Capital Stock held by such stockholder.

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Cash Value” shall mean $58,500,000, minus Company Debt, plus or minus the Working Capital Adjustment (as applicable based on such definition), minus the Acquired Company Transaction Expenses.

(ii) “Common Fraction” shall mean 1,094,221 divided by the Fully Diluted Company Share Number.

(iii) The “Escrow Cash” shall mean $16,500,000 deposited in the Escrow Fund.

(iv) The “Escrow Property” shall mean: (i) the Escrow Cash then held in the Escrow Fund, and (ii) the Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Fund.

(v) The “Escrow Shares” shall mean 308,626 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock.

(vi) The “Fully Diluted Company Share Number” shall be the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(vii) The “Per Share Amount” shall be determined by dividing: (A) the Cash Value; by (B) the Fully Diluted Company Share Number.

(viii) The “Per Share Cash Escrow Property” shall be determined by dividing: (A) any disbursements of Escrow Property in the form of cash required to be made from the Escrow Fund to the former holders of shares of Company Capital Stock (x) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (y) after taking into account any payments to be made pursuant to the Company’s Key Employee Retention Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 4, 2015 (the “Key Employee Retention Plan”) and deducted from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(iv), as and when such disbursements are required to be made; by (B) the Fully Diluted Company Share Number.

(ix) The “Per Share Stock Escrow Property” shall be determined by dividing: (A) any disbursements of Escrow Property in the form of Parent Class A Common Stock required to be made from the Escrow Fund to the former holders of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; by (B) the Fully Diluted Company Share Number.

(c) Escrow Contribution. Immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, as a contribution to the Escrow Fund on behalf of Company Stockholders and with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock held by the stockholders immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares shall be issued in the name of the Escrow Agent, but shall be held on behalf of the Company Stockholders, who are the beneficial owners of the Escrow Shares and the Escrow Shares shall be reflected as issued and outstanding as of the date hereof in the books and records of Parent. The Escrow Fund: (i) shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement; (ii) shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or other judicial process of any creditor of any Person; (iii) shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (iv) shall be the source of funds for payments to be made pursuant to the Key Employee Retention Plan and all associated Taxes to be paid in connection with such payments (and Parent is authorized and permitted to instruct the Escrow Agent, pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Escrow Agreement, to make distributions from the cash portion of the Escrow Fund in respect of such payments and Taxes). The Company Stockholders shall be entitled to exercise the voting rights of the Escrow Shares transferred to the Escrow Fund and to receive dividends (if declared) with respect to such shares (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall be included as part of the Escrow Fund). Parent shall be treated as the owner of cash in the Escrow Fund for tax purposes until such funds are disbursed pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such funds shall be treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent, subject to Parent’s right to receive tax distributions in respect of such taxable income as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

1.5 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver certificates for shares of Company Capital Stock (“Company Stock Certificates”) representing all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding as of the Closing, duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers) and letters of transmittal substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (a “Letter of Transmittal”) executed by each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock as of the Closing. The Company Stock Certificates so delivered shall be canceled as of the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares, and the holder of each such Company Stock Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.

(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, subject to receipt of the deliveries required pursuant to Section 1.5(a), Parent will deliver or, in the case of Parent Class A Common Stock, cause its transfer agent to deliver, to the holder of shares of Company Capital Stock as of the Closing: (a) by wire transfer to their respective accounts as specified in their Letters of Transmittal, the cash amounts to be paid to such holder at Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(ii) and (b) by mail to their respective addresses as specified in their Letters of Transmittal, stock certificates representing the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued to such holder at Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(ii)).

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional share shall be paid to any such holder, until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.5 (at which time such holder shall be entitled to receive all such dividends and distributions and such cash payment).

(d) No fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates for any such fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of such fractional shares, any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Class A Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s), be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the FMV of Parent Class A Common Stock.

(e) The shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall be characterized as “restricted securities” for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and each certificate representing any such shares shall, until such time that the shares are not so restricted under the Securities Act, bear a legend identical or similar in effect to the following legend (together with any other legend or legends required by applicable state securities laws or otherwise, if any):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.”

(f) Stock Transfer Books. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Entity, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares as provided for in Section 1.4. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock.

(g) Undistributed Payment Funds. Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to Company Stockholders as of the date that is one year after the date of this Agreement shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and Company Stockholders who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.5 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificates, without any interest thereon.

(h) Escheat. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any other Person shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by Company Stockholders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent free and clear of any Encumbrance.

(i) Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any security holder or former security holder of the Company such amounts as required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement and shall pay over such amounts to the Governmental Body as required by any Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.6 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Merger Subs and the Company, the managers and officers of the Surviving Entity and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Subs, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

1.7 Reorganization Status. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall report the Merger for income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including the filing of the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code; provided, however, even though it is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and, subject to the proviso in the last sentence of this Section 1.7, no party hereto shall take any action, or fail to take any action, which could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with such intent, the parties make no representations or warranties to each other or to any holder of Company Capital Stock that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” under the Code (except for Parent’s representations in Section 3.1 that Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent). Parent agrees not to take any action, and will cause its affiliates not to take any action, which would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a tax-free “reorganization,” provided, however, that the preceding covenant shall not be considered to be violated by actions of Parent or its affiliates contemplated under this Agreement.

It is the express intent of the parties that, if the eighteen month survival period specified in this Section 4.1(a) applicable to representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement (other than as specified in Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.1(d)) is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise apply to such matters, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to such survival period.

(f) Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or in any update to the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Company in this Agreement.

4.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time (but subject to Section 4.1), each Major Stockholder (collectively, the “Indemnitors”), severally and not jointly and pro rata based upon the amount of Merger Consideration payable to such stockholder (as compared with the Merger Consideration payable to all Major Stockholders), shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) (it being understood that while the Indemnitees may bring a claim for Damages they may suffer or incur or to which they may become subject, the Indemnitees shall not recover any such Damages until such Damages are actually suffered or incurred, or to which the Indemnitee has actually become subject) and which arise from or as a result of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement (other than representations or warranties related to Taxes or Tax Returns to the extent the subject matter of claim is the subject of Section 4.2(a)(iii), which claim shall be brought pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii));

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate or the Working Capital Certificate;

(iii) any matter referred to on Schedule 4.2(a)(iii);

(iv) any claim by any securityholder of the Company in his/her/its capacity as a securityholder with respect to events or circumstances occurring prior to or as of the Effective Time (including claims with respect to (A) the authorization or approval of the Merger or (B) the distribution of the Merger Consideration to the extent that Parent makes payments in accordance with the Merger Consideration Certificate and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement);

(v) any (A) Taxes of any of the Acquired Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Pre-Closing Taxes”); (B) employment or other payroll Taxes imposed on the Company in connection with payments to holders of any compensation payments occurring by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (C) Liability for the payment of any amounts as a result of any obligation to indemnify any other Person, or any successor or transferee Liability, in respect of any of the items described in clauses (A) and (B) except to the extent, in each case, that such Taxes or Liability were taken into account as a current liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital (or to the extent the subject matter of claim is the subject of Schedule 4.2(a)(iii), in which case such claim shall be brought pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii));

(vi) any Fraud committed by the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(vii) subject to Section 4.5(d), third party claims against the Indemnitees following the Closing, whether or not it is determined that there was a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or any other matter specified in Section 4.2(a)(i) as a basis for indemnification under this Agreement, if the facts and circumstances alleged in such third party claim would give the Indemnitees a right to indemnification under Section 4.2(a)(i) assuming for this purpose that such facts and circumstances are accurate and the claims made therein are recoverable by the third party claimant(s) in accordance therewith; provided, however, that subject to Section 4.5(d), Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover only 50% of Damages paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by them resulting from or arising out of such third party claim unless the Indemnitees recover for such claim pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(i).

(b) Damage to Parent. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Entity suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Entity as an Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Entity, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

4.3 Other Limitations.

(a) Threshold. Subject to Section 4.3(b), the Indemnitors will not have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees for any Damages pursuant to this Section 4 unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages in respect of which the Indemnitors are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 4 exceeds an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the "Threshold") at which point the Indemnitors shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire amount of Damages, including the Threshold.

(b) Applicability of Threshold.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the total amount of indemnification payments that any of the Indemnitors can be required to make to the Indemnitees pursuant to item 1 of Schedule 4.2(a)(iii) shall be limited to such Indemnitor’s pro rata portion of $1,000,000 (based on the pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration payable to all Indemnitors).

(iii) The Indemnitees’ first source of recovery for indemnification claims under Section 4.2 shall be recourse against the Escrow Property (and the Stockholders’ Agent may elect, or if no such election is made, Parent may elect, whether recovery from the Escrow Fund for such claims is in the form of Escrow Shares, Escrow Cash or a combination thereof, so long as the full amount of the indemnification obligation is satisfied); claims may only be made directly against the Indemnitors (to the extent such claims are not limited to the Escrow Property pursuant to Section 4.3(c)(i)) when the aggregate value of pending indemnification claims exceeds the value of Escrow Property then held in the Escrow Fund (and then only to the extent of excess).

(iv) For purposes of this Section 4, each Escrow Share shall be deemed to have a per share value equal to the average of the closing price of Parent Class A Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the date satisfaction of a claim for indemnification hereunder, subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, combinations or similar corporate events affecting the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock.

(d) Applicability of Liability Cap. The limitations set forth in Section 4.3(c)(i) shall not apply: (i) in the case of Fraud; or (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations. Except in the case of Fraud committed by such Indemnitor, the total amount of indemnification payments that any of the Indemnitors can be required to make to the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be limited to the portion of the Merger Consideration received by such Indemnitor.

(e) Other Limitations.

(i) This Section 4 shall constitute the exclusive remedy after the Closing for recovery of Damages by the Indemnitees pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, except in the case of claims for Fraud against the Indemnitor committing such Fraud; provided, however, subject to the limitations set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of any Indemnitee (A) to specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief or (B) pursuant to any other agreement executed by an Indemnitor.

(ii) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee under insurance policies with respect to such Damages (net of any costs to recover such insurance payments and the costs of any increased premiums to the extent resulting therefrom); provided that Parent shall only have the obligation to seek insurance recovery to the extent commercially reasonable in light of the circumstances and only with respect to insurance policies obtained by the Company prior to the Closing for which premiums were paid in full prior to the Closing.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances will either Party be liable to the other for any punitive or exemplary damages (except to the extent such punitive or exemplary damages are awarded to a third party pursuant to a third party claim).

(iv) To the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Indemnitee shall act in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate any Damages they may pay, incur, suffer or sustain for which indemnification is available hereunder.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt and in order to prevent duplication of payment by the Indemnitors, the Indemnitors will not have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees for any Damages pursuant to this Section 4 to the extent that such Damages were previously included in calculating the Closing Date Net Working Capital or Working Capital Adjustment.

4.4 No Contribution. Each Indemnitor waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against any Merger Sub or any of the Acquired Companies in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement.

4.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any third party of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against any Merger Sub, any of the Acquired Companies, Parent or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4, Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders’ Agent. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:

(a) subject to the other provisions of Section 4, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnitors to the extent the Indemnitors are obligated to indemnify under this Section 4 for such claim or Legal Proceeding;

(b) each Indemnitor shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in his possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding;

(c) The Stockolders’ Agent shall have the right, in its discretion and at its or the Major Stockholders’ own expense, to participate in, but not control, the defense of such claim, and Parent shall keep the Stockolders’ Agent reasonably informed as to the defense of such claim; and

(d) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the last paragraph of Section 4.2(a)(vii) or Section 4.5, if Parent settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Stockholders’ Agent (it being understood that if Parent requests that the Stockholders’ Agent consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Stockholders’ Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent), such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding or whether the Indemnitors are obligated to indemnify the Indemnitors under this Section 4 for such claim or Legal Proceeding.

Parent shall give the Stockholders’ Agent prompt written notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against Parent, any Merger Sub or any of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholders’ Agent shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under Section 4 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Stockholders’ Agent may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Agent may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

4.6 Tax Matters. The parties agree to treat any indemnification payment made under this Article 4 as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all purposes, including, to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law, all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, file their Tax Returns accordingly.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and the Company shall not file any IRS Form 1099-K for any Pre-Closing Tax Period unless such filing is required by a Governmental Body in connection with a Tax Contest.
