A. The Share Buyers wish to acquire from the Share Seller, and the Share Seller wishes to sell to the Share Buyers all of the Acquired Company Shares (the “Share Purchase”), which Acquired Company Shares, as of the Closing, will constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Acquired Companies on a fully diluted basis, all on the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Agreement and applicable law.
B. The Buyers do not wish to acquire the email solutions business operated by the Group Companies (the “Excluded Business”) or
assume any of the Liabilities to the extent related to or arising from the Excluded Business (including the historical operation of the Excluded Business by any of the Group Companies prior to Closing (and whether or not such activities remain
operative as of the Closing)). Accordingly, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Asset Seller and the Share Seller are entering into that certain Reorganization Agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reorganization Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the assignment by the Asset Seller to the Share Seller of the current and
historical assets, properties and rights to the extent such assets, properties and rights are primarily related to, used or held for use in connection with the Excluded Business, and for the assumption by the Share Seller of all Liabilities included
in, arising out of or relating to, the Excluded Business (including the historical operation of the Excluded Business by any of the Group Companies prior to Closing (and whether or not such activities remain operative as of the Closing)).
C. Immediately prior to consummation of the Share Purchase and for the consideration and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, (i) the Asset Buyer wishes to acquire,
and the Asset Seller wishes to sell, the Purchased IP Assets, and (ii) the Asset Buyer and the Asset Seller wish for the Asset Buyer to assume all of the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii), the “Asset
Purchase”).
D. The Board of Directors of the Share Seller has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Share Purchase.
E. The shareholders representing the holders of at least 99% of the share capital of the Share Seller (which constitutes the requisite holders required to approve this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) will prior to Closing approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Share Purchase (the “Shareholder Approval”).
F. The Board of Directors and sole shareholder of the Asset Seller have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Asset Purchase.
G. The Boards of Directors of each of the Asset Buyer, the US Share Buyer, the AZ Share Buyer and the Pte Share Buyer have approved this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including, as applicable, the Asset Purchase and the Share Purchase.
H. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, as a material inducement to the Buyers to enter into this Agreement, Singtel
Interactive Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications Limited, is entering into a guarantee in favor of the Buyers (“Seller Guarantee”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,

the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Surplus (if any). For the avoidance of doubt, if the calculation of the Adjusted Share Purchase Price in the immediately preceding sentence results in a negative number, then the Adjusted Share Purchase Price
shall equal zero (0).
“Adjustment Escrow Amount” shall mean $3,000,000.
“Adjustment Escrow Fund” shall mean the Adjustment Escrow Amount, plus any interest paid or
earned on the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

employees, directors, officers or independent contractors of the Group Companies, including any stay-bonuses or any bonuses pursuant to a management carve-out plan, transaction completion, severance or other change-of-control bonuses or other similar
benefits or payments, or any other single-trigger termination-related payments to any such Person, in each case, which will become payable by any of the Group Companies solely as a result of either of the Sellers entering into this Agreement or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payments under the Retention Bonus Agreements), and (ii) the employer portion of any employment or payroll or other applicable Taxes payable

“Company Business” shall mean the business of providing integrated linear and digital media advertising technology solutions to business
enterprises, which includes, without limitation, Demand-side Platform and Advanced TV Technology (Demand and Supply) (which includes but is not limited to addressable TV, XXX and CTV), in each case, as conducted by the Group Companies as of the
Closing, but excluding the Excluded Business.
“Company Cash” means the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash in the accounts of the Group
Companies determined in accordance with IFRS, as of the Reference Time (including, without limitation, checks, bank deposits, short term investments, and deposits and sureties held by third parties), excluding, for the avoidance of doubt the Asset
Purchase Price and any cash invested by the Share Seller or any of its Affiliates in the Asset Seller for the purpose of the repayment of the Seller Repaid Indebtedness, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, Company Cash shall be calculated net of
issued but uncleared checks, wires and drafts, but shall be calculated inclusive of checks, wires and drafts deposited for the account of the Group Companies but not yet cleared (provided that they shall have cleared as of the Share Buyers’ delivery
of the Draft Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.5(c)).

the authority or ability of the Group Companies and/or the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in
determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred there shall be excluded any Effect resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with, any of the following: (A) changes, events, occurrences, developments in, or effects from or
relating to general business or economic conditions in the industries in which the Group Companies operate and applicable capital, banking, currency or securities markets (including (x) any disruption of any of the foregoing markets, (y) any change

occurring after the date hereof, (C) any changes in IFRS occurring after the date hereof, (D) changes, events, occurrences or developments in, or effects arising from or relating to any national or international political conditions, in each case,

definition of Company Material Adverse Effect), except to the extent that, in the cases of clauses (A), (D) or (E) above, such Effects affect the Group Companies (taken as a whole) in a materially disproportionate way compared to other similarly
situated companies in the industries in which the Group Companies operate).
“Company Net Working Capital” shall mean the consolidated total current assets of the Group Companies (excluding Company Cash) minus the consolidated total current Liabilities of the Group Companies (excluding Company Debt, Change in Control Fees and Company Transaction Fees), in each case, as of the Reference Time, determined solely in
accordance with IFRS on a consolidated basis without duplication and including only those specific line items of current assets and current Liabilities set forth in the Example Statement of Net Working Capital.

case as set forth in the Payoff Letters, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in the Payoff Letters; and
(iii) pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Group Companies, (A) all Company Transaction Fees (to the extent not payable to any current or former Employees) to such

Transaction Fees, Change in Control Fees and Severance Expenses payable to current or former Employees, which Company Transaction Fees, Change in Control Fees and Severance Expenses will be paid by the Asset Seller through a special payroll on, or
immediately following, the Closing Date (and in any event within five (5) Business Days, except for payments payable pursuant to the Retention Bonus Agreements, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms stated therein), net of all applicable
withholding; provided, however, if on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date there are any Forfeited
Retention Bonus Payments, US Share Buyer shall cause the Asset Seller to instead pay to the Share Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to such amount of the Forfeited Retention Bonus Payments.
(e) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Asset Seller shall pay in full the portion of the Company Debt set forth on Schedule 2.1(e), subject, in each case, to

of their respective designee(s)) at the Closing.
(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificate(s) representing Acquired Company Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then
the Share Seller shall be required to deliver an affidavit of that fact in form reasonably satisfactory to the Share Buyers; provided, however, that a Share Buyer may, in its sole discretion and as a
condition precedent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s) to deliver a customary agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to such Share Buyer, against any claim that may be made against such Share
Buyer with respect to the certificate(s) alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
2.2 Share Seller Options.
(a) At the Closing and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Share Seller Option Plan and the applicable board resolutions of the Share Seller, each Share Seller

(c) At or prior to the Closing, the Share Seller, the Board of Directors of the Share Seller or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Share Seller,

2.3 Closing Date; Closing. The closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Asset Purchase and immediately thereafter the Share Purchase (the “Closing”), shall take place at a time and date to be agreed between the Share Buyers
and the Share Seller, which shall be no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at
the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other time, date and location as the Share Buyers and the Share Seller agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall take place remotely, via exchange of documents and signatures.
2.4 Escrow Arrangements. Concurrently with the
Closing, the Share Buyers shall deliver or cause to be delivered an amount in cash equal to the (i) Adjustment Escrow Amount, and (ii) General Indemnity Escrow Amount, to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the escrow
agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall be entered into on the Closing Date, by and among the
Share Buyers, the Share Seller and the Escrow Agent. The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall provide the Share Buyers first recourse against the amounts held in escrow with respect to the post-Closing adjustments set forth in Section 2.5
and the General Indemnity Escrow Amount shall provide the Share Buyers recourse against the amounts held in escrow with respect to the post-Closing adjustments set forth in Section 2.5 and any indemnification obligation under Article

subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The
Adjustment Escrow Fund and the General Indemnity Escrow Fund (or any portion thereof) shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the Share Seller or the Share Buyers, as applicable, at the times, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in the
Escrow Agreement. All amounts received by the parties pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated as adjustments to the Adjusted Share Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. None of the parties shall take any position on any Tax
Return, or before any Governmental Entity, that is inconsistent with such treatment, except upon a contrary final determination by an applicable Tax authority.
- 16 -
2.5 Estimated Closing Statement; Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Estimated Closing Statement and Closing Adjustment. By no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Share Seller shall deliver to the
Share Buyers a statement setting forth (i) the Share Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the Adjusted Share Purchase Price (including, for purposes of such estimate, Share Seller’s good faith reasonable estimate of the components thereof,
including for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), the Company Cash, each Change in Control Fee, Company Transaction Fee, Severance Expense and
Company Debt); (ii) a pro forma balance sheet as of the Closing Date; and (iii) all of the calculations and documents with respect to any amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) (such deliverables in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and shall be signed by a duly authorized signatory of the Share Seller and accompanied
by reasonable supporting documentation. It is hereby clarified that in preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement (and any Draft Closing Statement or Final Closing Statement hereunder), it will include the Purchased IP Assets as assets of the
Group Companies and disregard the Buyers’ payment of the Asset Purchase Price at Closing.
(b) The Share Buyers shall have the right to review the Estimated Closing Statement and such additional supporting documentation or data as the Share Buyers may reasonably
request. The Share Seller shall, to the extent practicable, consider in good faith any proposed comments or changes that the Share Buyers may reasonably suggest; provided, however,
that (i) the Share Seller’s reasonable determination, after conferring with the Share Buyers in good faith, as to whether to include any such comments shall, in all events, prevail, and (ii) the Share Seller’s failure to include in the Estimated
Closing Statement any changes proposed by the Share Buyers, or the acceptance by the Share Buyers of the Estimated Closing Statement, shall not limit or otherwise affect the Share Buyers’ remedies under this Agreement, including the Share Buyers’
right to include such changes or other changes in the Draft Closing Statement, or constitute an acknowledgment by the Share Buyers of the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Statement provided by the Share Seller.
(c) Determination of Final Closing Statement. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Draft Closing Statement
Deadline”), the Share Buyers shall provide to the Share Seller a statement setting forth the Share Buyers’ calculation of the Company Net Working Capital, the Company Cash, the Change in Control Fee, the Company Transaction Fees, the
Severance Expense and the Company Debt as of the Closing prepared in accordance with IFRS (the “Draft Closing Statement”) or an acceptance statement of the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Buyer Acceptance Statement”). The Draft Closing Statement shall be certified as to the contents therein by the Chief Financial Officer of the Asset Seller and accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation.
The Share Seller shall deliver, on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Draft Closing Statement (the “Objection Deadline Date”), a written notice indicating that either the
Share Seller accepts the Draft Closing Statement (the “Acceptance Notice”) or a statement describing all objections to the Draft Closing Statement including reasonable detail of those items and amounts in
disagreement and calculations thereof (the “Objection Notice”). If the Share Seller timely delivers an Objection Notice, such objections shall be resolved as follows:
- 17 -
(i) The Share Buyers and the Share Seller shall first use all reasonable efforts to resolve such objections in good faith.
(ii) If the Share Buyers and the Share Seller do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after the Objection
Deadline Date, the dispute shall be referred, on the application of either the Share Buyers or the Share Seller, to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to and mutually agreed by the Share Buyers and the
Share Seller (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, KPMG and PwC and, provided that if the Share Buyers and the Share Seller cannot agree on an Accounting Firm, then the Accounting Firm will be a mutually agreed branch of Ernst & Young LLP or a
controlled Affiliate of such firm, or if not agreed the US branch) (the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve any remaining objections set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Unresolved
Objections”). Each of the Share Buyers and the Share Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) days following the referral of the Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm, prepare a written statement describing their
respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Objections, which, together with the relevant documents, will be submitted to the Accounting Firm for review and final determination (“Written Statement”).
Following submission of any Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm, the Share Buyers and the Share Seller shall furnish the Accounting Firm with such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to resolve
the Unresolved Objections. For the avoidance of doubt, the review of the Accounting Firm will be limited to the Unresolved Objections and the Accounting Firm shall determine its calculation of the Unresolved Objections in accordance with the
Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement.
(iii) Within ten (10) days after the date of receipt of the last Written Statement, the Accounting Firm shall make a determination as to the resolution of the Unresolved
Objections and shall issue a written ruling of such resolution, which shall include an illustration of all adjustments (which for the avoidance of doubt shall only be related to the Unresolved Objections) to the Draft Closing Statement based on any
resolutions to objections agreed upon by the Share Buyers and the Share Seller and pursuant to the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. The Accounting Firm shall make a determination only as to the Unresolved Objections and
shall not decide any specific items not under dispute and its determination as to the Unresolved Objections shall be in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement and within the range of values assigned to each such
disputed item in the Draft Closing Statement and the Objection Notice, respectively.
(iv) The Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon the Share Buyers and the Share Seller absent fraud. The parties to this Agreement
agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.5 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes and the Final Closing Statement will be
final, conclusive and binding on the parties absent fraud; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either the Share Buyers or the Share Seller from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the
Accounting Firm or prohibit either party from making any claims for breach or making claims of indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for breach by any other party of any of the provisions of this Section 2.5. As used
herein, the term “Final Closing Statement” shall mean and refer to (i) the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Share Seller to the extent the Share Buyers provides a Buyer Acceptance Statement or fails
to provide a Draft Closing Statement by the Draft Closing Statement Deadline; (ii) the Draft Closing Statement delivered by the Share Buyers if the Share Seller delivers to the Share Buyers an Acceptance Notice or fails to deliver an Objection Notice
by the Objection Deadline Date, or (iii) the Draft Closing Statement as adjusted pursuant to the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections.
- 18 -
(v) The Share Buyers and the Share Seller will each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective accountants, in preparing or
reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Statement, if any. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by the Share Buyers and the Share Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the
Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total Unresolved Objections originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the Unresolved Objections total $1,000 and the Accounting Firm
awards $600 in favor of the Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by the Share Buyers and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Seller. However, the Share Buyers and the Share Seller will
each bear its own costs in presenting its position regarding any Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm.
(d) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement, the Adjustment Amount (as determined and
defined below) shall be calculated and distributed from the Adjustment Escrow Fund as follows:
(i) The “Adjustment Amount” shall be (without duplications) an amount (which may be expressed as a positive or negative number)
equal to the sum of (i) an amount (expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the Final Closing Net Working Capital Surplus minus the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Surplus; minus (ii) an amount (expressed as a
positive or negative number) equal to the Final Closing Net Working Capital Deficit minus the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Deficit; minus (iii) an amount (expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the total Company
Transaction Fees as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5 minus the total Company Transaction Fees set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement; plus (iv) an amount (expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to
the Company Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5 minus the Company Cash set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (if any); minus (v) the amount (expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the
Company Debt as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5 minus the Company Debt set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (if any); minus (vi) the amount (expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the total
Change in Control Fees as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5 minus the total Change in Control Fees set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement; and minus (vii) the amount (expressed as a positive or negative number)
equal to the total Severance Expenses as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5 minus the total Severance Expenses set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement.
(ii) If the Adjustment Amount, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, is a negative number for which the
absolute value is greater than $1,000,000, then the Share Buyers and the Share Seller, shall provide written instructions in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement instructing the Escrow Agent to pay, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, from the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the US Share Buyer the absolute value of such Adjustment Amount in cash within three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Adjustment Amount based on the Final Closing Statement,
provided that, if the amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Amount are insufficient to pay the US Share Buyer the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount in full, any deficiency may be claimed by the US Share Buyer directly from the Share Seller or the
General Indemnity Escrow Fund. If payment in full to the US Share Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.5(d)(ii) does not result in distribution of the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount to the US Share Buyer, then any remaining amount from
the Adjustment Escrow Amount will be released to the Share Seller, within five (5) Business Days after full payment of any Adjustment Amount to the US Share Buyer.
(iii) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, is a positive number and is greater than $1,000,000, then the Share
Buyers shall, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Adjustment Amount based on the Final Closing Statement, (A) deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Amount
to the Share Seller, and (B) deliver to the Share Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount equal to the Adjustment Amount in cash. The Share Buyers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such payment
obligation.
- 19 -
(iv) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, (A) is a negative number for which the absolute value is less than
$1,000,000, (B) is a positive number that is less than $1,000,000, or (C) is equal to zero (0), then no adjustment will be made and the Share Buyers shall, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Adjustment Amount based on the
Final Closing Statement, deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Share Seller.
(v) Any post-closing adjustment payments made under this Section 2.5 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for the purchase of the
Acquired Company Shares of the Asset Seller for all Tax purposes.
2.6 Withholding Taxes. Each of the Buyers and the
Escrow Agent (each a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as the Payor is
required, in its sole discretion, to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable tax Law with respect to any Seller in accordance with this Section 2.6. If a Payor determines that an amount is required to be deduct and
withheld, Payor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Share Seller, prior to the date the applicable payment is scheduled to be made, with written notice of its intent to deduct and withhold together with a calculation of the
amount to be deducted and withheld and a reference to the applicable provision of the Code or other Law pursuant to which such deduction and withholding is required. Payor will reasonably cooperate with the Share Seller to establish the entitlement
of the Share Seller to any reasonably available exemption or reduction in such deduction or withholding (including providing the Share Seller with reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from
withholding). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by a Payor and remitted over to the applicable Tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made. Payor will provide the Share Seller written documentation evidencing that such amounts were paid to the applicable Governmental Entity within ten (10) Business Days following the date of remittance.
2.7 No Further Ownership Rights in Acquired Company Shares.
From and after the Closing Date and subject to the consummation of the Closing, the holders (other than the Share Buyers or any transferee of the Share Buyers) of certificates formerly evidencing ownership of Acquired Company Shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Closing shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares or securities, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Laws.
2.8 Further Assurances. The Buyers and the Sellers
will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible.
2.9 Contingent Consideration
(a) Eligibility and Calculation. In addition to the Adjusted Share Purchase Price payable to the Share Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Share
Seller (or its successors or assigns) shall be eligible to receive additional consideration for the Share Purchase (the “Contingent Consideration”) in an amount equal to $4,500,000 minus the Termination Costs in the event that the MediaCorp Contract is terminated at any time during the Contingent Consideration Period.

(i) “Contingent Consideration Period” means the period of time extending from the date hereof until the date that is eighteen (18)
months following the Closing Date.
(ii) “Mediacorp Contract” means that certain Letter of Acceptance, dated December 27, 2019, by and between Pte Acquired Company

Buyers or, after the Closing, any Group Company, and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees incurred by the Buyers or, after the Closing, any Group Company, in each case, directly in connection with any effort to terminate the
Mediacorp Contract.
(iv) “Termination Date” means the final date of termination of the Mediacorp Contract by the parties thereto after the expiration
of all applicable termination notice periods required therein; provided, however, that the Mediacorp Contract shall not be deemed terminated so long as any service
obligations of the Group Companies remain outstanding pursuant to the Mediacorp Contract.
(c) Termination Notice and Payment of Contingent Consideration. During the Contingent Consideration Period, as promptly as practicable following the Termination
Date (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter) the Buyers shall deliver to the Share Seller a written notice setting forth the Termination Date, the Termination Costs (including reasonable supporting documentation), the
applicable Contingent Consideration payable to the Share Seller as a result thereof and containing any evidence of termination thereof. The Buyers shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Contingent Consideration to the Share Seller, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Share Seller, within ten (10) Business Days after Buyers’ delivery of the notice to the Share Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood that the Buyers shall
jointly and severally liable with respect to all such obligations).
(d) Buyers Sole Discretion on Course of Action. Xxxxx Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees and confirms to the Buyers that:

During the period commencing on the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Share Seller shall give prompt notice to the
Buyers of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event of which the Share Seller has actual knowledge, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not to be
satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall not (x) limit, expand or otherwise affect any remedies
available to the party receiving such notice, or (y) be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the inadvertent failure
of the Share Seller to provide the notice required in this Section 6.4 with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to be a breach of the applicable representation or warranty and not a breach of this covenant
unless such failure to notify is willful and intentional.

to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the period commencing on the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take

hereunder and to effect all necessary registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the
purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Buyers shall not be required to agree to (a) any
license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of the Buyers, their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of the Group Companies,

other legal restraint governing competition, monopolies or restrictive trade practices (any such action described in (a), (b) or (c), an “Action of Divestiture”). Nothing herein shall require the Buyers to

consolidating with, or by purchasing any assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation
of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose a material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the
HSR Act or other antitrust, competition or similar applicable laws, or (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyers shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Share Seller, enter into any voluntary agreement with a Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

disposition thereof. Any cost and expenses related to the acquisition of such insurance shall be considered part of the Company Transaction Fees if not paid by the Group Companies prior to the Closing. The Buyers shall, and shall cause the Group
Companies to, cooperate in good faith with the Company Indemnitees to use the tail coverage with respect to claims relating to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Group Companies or the Buyers or any of their Affiliates to incur any cost or expense with respect to the Group Companies, following the Closing.

the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), as determined immediately prior to the initiation of the requisite shareholder approval procedure under Section 6.12(b), and whom the Share Seller and/or the Buyers reasonably
believes might otherwise receive, have received, or have the right or entitlement to receive any parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, and the Share Seller shall have delivered each such Parachute Payment Waiver to the Buyers no later

shall cause the Group Companies to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by such number of shareholders of the Group Companies as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the
parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided pursuant to contracts or arrangements that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers by the affected Persons under
Section 6.12(a), might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code, with such shareholder

tax-qualified status of the 401(k) Plan; (ii) for elective deferrals made pursuant to the 401(k) Plan for the period prior to termination; and (iii) for any employer contributions (including, without limitation, any matching contributions) for the

Code Section 401(k). The Share Seller shall provide the Buyers with a copy of resolutions duly adopted by each of the Group Companies’ board of directors so terminating any such 401(k) Plan. In the event that termination of the 401(k) Plan of any
of the Group Companies would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees (other than ordinary administrative fees in connection with such termination), then such Group Company shall pay or provide for
payment of the amount of such charges and/or fees prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Antitrust Matters. All applicable waiting periods (and extensions thereof) applicable to the Share Purchase and the Asset Purchase under the HSR Act shall have
expired or been terminated and there shall not be in effect any voluntary agreement with a Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All other approvals under any antitrust, competition or similar
applicable laws shall have been obtained, in each case, without any condition or requirement requiring or calling for an Action of Divestiture.

any failure of any representation or warranty made by any Seller pursuant to Article III or Article IV of this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations) to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (except in the case of
representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates); (ii) any failure of any
Fundamental Representation to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be
true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates), (iii) any knowing and willful breach of, or failure by any Seller to perform or comply with, any covenant or agreement applicable to the Sellers contained in Sections 6.1 or

connection with, as applicable, any failure of any representation or warranty made by any Seller in Article III or Article IV of this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and
warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates), in each such case, any “materiality”, “Company
Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualification; provided, that each such qualification shall not be disregarded for the purposes of the initial determination of whether there was a
failure of such representation or warranty to be true and correct.
- 66 -
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not have any rights of contribution, indemnification or advancement from an Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss claimed by an
Indemnified Party.
(d) Except as set forth in the following sentences in this Section 9.2(d), each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the provisions in this Article
IX will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyers for any Losses arising under this Agreement or related to the transactions contemplated hereby (including pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in the Agreement shall limit the right of any party to pursue (i) remedies under and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, Seller Guarantee, the Director Resignation Letters or the Escrow Agreement against the parties thereto or (ii) any
claim for equitable relief (including specific performance) under this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Article IX shall not limit any claims by the Share Seller against the
Buyers for breaches of covenants of the Buyers to be performed after the Closing or for claims of Fraud by the Buyers or the Share Seller.
9.3 Indemnification Limitations.
(a) No amount shall be payable to an Indemnified Party in satisfaction of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) above unless
and until the aggregate Losses paid, incurred, sustained or accrued equal or exceed $894,375 (the “Threshold”), at which time the
Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses in excess of the Threshold; it being understood that the Threshold shall not be applicable with respect to, and each Indemnified Party shall
be entitled to be indemnified, for all Losses arising out of or resulting from the indemnification obligation with respect to any claim for indemnification with respect to an Excluded Matter (including, for the avoidance of doubt any claim for Fraud
by the Sellers).
(b) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered by the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Parties (i) under Section 9.2(a)(i)
(excluding for the avoidance of doubt those arising out of, or in connection with Fundamental Representations) shall be the General Indemnity Escrow Amount, (ii) with respect to the Scheduled Indemnities shall be the applicable caps set forth on Schedule
9.2(a)(vi) and (iii) with respect to all indemnifiable matters under Section 9.2(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Matters and the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)) shall be $211,000,000.
(c) Each party hereto (on behalf of itself and the Indemnified Parties) acknowledges the applicability of the common law duty to mitigate damages.
(d) An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover any Loss arising pursuant to one provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Parties have
already recovered the same Losses pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that Losses in connection with an indemnifiable matter reduced the
Adjusted Share Purchase Price by virtue of being specifically included in the calculation of the adjustments set forth in Section 2.5 hereof, the same amount of such Losses may not be recovered again under this Article IX.
(e) The amount of any Losses otherwise eligible for indemnification under this Article IX will be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds (net of any
reasonable out of pocket expenses in investigating, prosecuting and collecting such amounts and net of any increase to the applicable insurance premiums) actually recovered by an Indemnified Party in respect thereof. If an Indemnified Party actually
received insurance proceeds with respect to such Losses at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment actually made by the Share Seller pursuant to this Agreement, then Buyers will reimburse the General Indemnity Escrow Fund (or if
applicable, the Share Seller) the amount of the Losses for which the Share Seller indemnified such Buyer Indemnified Party, net of any costs incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party in investigating, prosecuting and collection of such amounts and net
of any increase to the applicable insurance premiums, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of such insurance proceeds. It is hereby clarified that Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be under no obligation to seek recourse from any insurance
policy, except for the obligations to seek recourse from the R&W Insurance Policy as set forth in this Article IX and subject to its terms.
- 67 -
(f) Source and Order of Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Article IX, any Losses
incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party, which shall be indemnified by the Seller Indemnifying Party, shall be satisfied in the following order:
(i) Subject to the limitations of this Article IX, any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be recovered, (I)
first, from the General Indemnity Escrow Fund, and (II) second, from the R&W Insurance Policy.
(ii) Subject to the limitations of this Article IX, any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) shall be recovered (I)
first, from the General Indemnity Escrow Fund, (II) second, from the Seller Indemnifying Party up to the then remaining amount of the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy, (III) third, from the R&W Insurance Policy, and (IV) fourth, from
the Seller Indemnifying Party (solely for amounts in excess of the limit of liability of the R&W Insurance Policy).
(iii) Subject to the limitations of this Article IX, any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii)-(vi) shall be recovered
(I) first, from the General Indemnity Escrow Fund, (II) second, from the R&W Insurance Policy, and (III) third, from the Seller Indemnifying Party.
9.4 Indemnification Claims Procedures.
(a) An Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) that do not involve a Third-Party Claim by
delivering a written certificate, to the Indemnifying Party (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, suffered or incurred (or in good faith reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, suffer or incur) indemnifiable
Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items and amounts of indemnifiable Losses (to the extent known), (iii) stating in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances related to the such claim and the basis therefor, and (iv)
nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim (a “Claim Certificate”); provided, however, that the Claim Certificate may be updated to reflect any change in circumstances from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as such update or
amendment only asserts bases for Losses or amends the amount of Losses reasonably related to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claim Certificate. The Claim Certificate shall be delivered by the
Indemnified Party reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of a claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of an
Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Certificate shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby in terms of any
defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party or the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties.
(b) Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 calendar days to object to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth therein by delivering
written notice thereof (a “Claim Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) agree in writing that the Indemnified
Party to is entitled to receive all of the indemnifiable Losses; or (ii) fail to object, pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), to any indemnifiable Losses set forth in a Claim Certificate within the foregoing 30 calendar day period, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have objected to such indemnifiable Losses, and each of the parties may initiate a legal action and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.10.
- 68 -
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Objection Notice pursuant to Section 9.4(b) hereof as to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth
in any Claim Certificate, the Share Seller and the Buyers, shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims objected to in such Claim Objection Notice for a period of 30 days after
delivery of the Claim Objection Notice. If the Buyers, and the Share Seller should so agree, a written memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by them and, in the case of a claim in whole or in part against the General
Indemnity Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the General Indemnity Escrow Fund and deliver to the Indemnified Parties an amount of cash equal to the indemnifiable Losses so agreed.
(d) Should the parties be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or Loss or Losses specified in a Claim Objection Notice within the time periods specified in Section
9.4(c), then each of the parties may initiate a legal action and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.12. A final decision of the applicable court for which no timely appeal is pending or as to
which the time for filing such appeal has expired as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties, and notwithstanding anything in Article IX, the parties shall act in accordance with such
determination.
9.5 Third-Party Claims.
In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim (which shall, include, for the avoidance of doubt, claims, investigations or proceedings with respect to
or which may give rise to an indemnification claim under the Scheduled Indemnities) (a “Third Party Claim”) that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes, in good faith, may result in an indemnification claim
for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim (the “Third Party Claim Notice”), which shall state
in reasonable detail the facts, circumstances and events relating to the Third Party Claim and copies of all documents relating thereto; provided, however, that the
Third Party Claim Notice may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Third Party Claim Notice. The Third Party Claim Notice shall be delivered by the Indemnified Party reasonably promptly
after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering
a Third Party Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby in terms of any defense,
conduct or claim available to the Indemnifying Party or the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the investigation, defense
and settlement of any such Third Party Claim and, at its election to assume the defense and/or conduct thereof; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party wishes to so assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall provide notice to the
Indemnified Party of its intent to do so within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or
prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals,
which are reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Group Companies) available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. To the extent and for so long as the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense, conduct and/or settlement of such Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified
Party may not enter into any settlement or admission or Liability if (A) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or compromise, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnifying Party (including any restriction on
the future activity or conduct of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates), (B) such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnifying Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities with respect to such claim, without
prejudice or (C) such settlement or compromise includes any finding of, or admission or statement with respect to, a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates. Any settlement of any Third
Party Claim by the Indemnified Party shall not be determinative of the amount of indemnifiable Losses relating to such matter or that such Losses are indemnifiable pursuant hereto. Any settlement of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party
without the consent of the Indemnifying Party shall include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article IX.
- 69 -
9.6 Effect of
Indemnification Payments. All amounts received by the Buyers as indemnification from the General Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Adjusted Share Purchase Price.
None of the parties shall take any position on any Tax Return, or before any Governmental Entity, that is inconsistent with such treatment, except upon a contrary final determination by an applicable Tax authority.
9.7 Release of General
Indemnity Escrow Fund. On the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, any portion of the General Indemnity Escrow Amount then-remaining in the General Indemnity Escrow Fund, less the aggregate of all amounts reasonably
necessary to continue to serve as security for any then-unresolved Claim Certificate or Third Party Claim Notice (“Held Back Amounts”) therefore received, shall be released from the General Indemnity Escrow
Fund to the Share Seller, and the Share Seller and the applicable Buyer party shall, within five (5) Business Days of such date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to effectuate such
release. Any Held Back Amounts shall remain in the General Indemnity Escrow Fund and released to the Share Seller as soon as, and to the extent that, they are no longer in good faith reasonably necessary to continue to serve as security for a Claim
Certificate or Third Party Claim Notice, at which time the Share Seller and the applicable Buyer party shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release any such amount in accordance with the final resolution thereof.
