SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES; HOLDBACK AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.1, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, the representations and warranties in ARTICLE 5 shall only survive until the earlier of (i) the Buyer IPO or (ii) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The Unlimited Claims shall survive until thirty (30) days following expiration of all statutes of limitation applicable to the matters referred to therein, at the latest five (5) years from the Closing Date. The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period.” To the extent that a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 8 is based upon facts or circumstances to which more than one Applicable Survival Period may be applicable, the longest of such Applicable Survival Periods shall apply. In the event notice of claim for indemnification under Sections 8.3 or 8.5 is given within the Applicable Survival Period, the representation or warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of such indemnification claim (whether or not formal legal Action shall have been commenced based upon such claim) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved. The Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth herein, if applicable) that the Indemnified Party may incur in respect of such claim, regardless of when incurred. No claim may be made or instituted seeking indemnification unless a written notice of the claim is received by the applicable party within the Applicable Survival Period.

8.2 Holdback Shares. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall withhold the Holdback Shares to be retained as security for the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders set forth in of Section 8.3. The portion of the Holdback Shares contributed on behalf of each Shareholder shall be in proportion to the aggregate amount of Consideration to which such Shareholder would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement. All claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 below shall be satisfied first from the Holdback Shares to the full extent thereof. For the purpose of this Agreement, including without limitation the distribution of the Holdback Shares, the value of each Holdback Share (the “Holdback Shares Indemnity Value”) shall be equal to the fair market value of a share of Buyer Common Stock as determined by the board of directors of Buyer, acting in good faith, at the time of distribution; provided, however, that in the event shares of Buyer Common Stock are actively traded on any national securities exchange, the

Holdback Shares Indemnity Value shall be determined by the average closing price per share of Buyer Common Stock on the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of distribution of the Holdback Shares. Promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer will release the remaining Holdback Shares to the Shareholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. To the extent any Buyer Indemnitee has made a claim for indemnification prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the release of any shares then remaining in the Holdback Shares will be reduced by the aggregate amount of any Losses which the Buyer, acting in good faith, reasonably estimates to have been incurred or reasonably estimated to be incurred by a Buyer Indemnitee with regard to all such pending claims. Any funds retained will be released within three (3) Business Days following final resolution of any such pending claim in accordance with Section 8.7(a).

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Shareholder shall, on an individual basis, indemnify and defend Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and their respective shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all losses, damages, claims (including third party claims), charges, Liabilities, actions, suits, proceedings, interest, penalties, Taxes, diminutions in value, costs and expenses (including legal, consultant, accounting and other professional fees, costs of sampling, testing, investigation, removal, treatment and remediation of contamination and fees and costs incurred in enforcing rights under this Agreement), but excluding punitive damages, any damages resulting in a loss of business reputation or any damages based on multiples (except to the extent resulting from any Third Party Claim), (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Shareholder under ARTICLE 3, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) any breach by such Shareholder of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Shareholders shall, on an individual pro rata basis based on each Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Consideration, indemnify and defend the Buyer Indemnitees against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company under ARTICLE 4; (ii) any breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and (iii) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by the Company to any agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or Person retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

8.4 Limits on Indemnification. No Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any Loss pursuant to Section 8.3 until such time as the total amount of all Losses otherwise indemnifiable that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the

Buyer, or to which any one or more of the Buyer has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate. Following such time as the cumulative amount of such Loss exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate, the Buyer shall be entitled to recover all such Losses from dollar $1. Furthermore no Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any Loss pursuant to Section 8.3, if and to the extent that:

a) the Buyer or the Company have actually recovered from any third person, including but not limited to an insurer, any sum in respect of any matter to which a claim made relates, after deduction of all duly documented costs and expenses incurred in making such recovery; or

b) a specific provision, reserve or valuation allowance has been or is made or included in Net Working Capital calculation.

8.5 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and defend the Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Shareholder Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Shareholder Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

8.6 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the total and aggregate Liability of Buyer for indemnity of the Shareholder Indemnitees under Section 8.5 shall not exceed Two Million Euros (€2,000,000). This limitation shall not apply to Unlimited Claims.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except for indemnification for any Unlimited Claims, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer in respect of a Loss shall be limited to recourse against the Holdback Shares and the aggregate amount of indemnification available hereunder shall be restricted to the amount of the Holdback Shares.

(c) Other than the amount of the Holdback Shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the liability of each Seller for indemnification under this Agreement, including with respect to Unlimited Claims, shall be several and not joint. Except in the event of fraud by such Shareholder, no Shareholder shall have liability under this Agreement for an amount in excess of the Consideration received by such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Each Shareholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree that all payments made by or on behalf of either of them to or for the benefit of the other (including any payments to the Company) under this ARTICLE 8 shall be treated as adjustments to the Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

8.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) A Buyer Indemnitee or Shareholder Indemnitee entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable, (the “Indemnified Party”) that becomes aware of any legal proceeding, claim or demand instituted by any third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) shall promptly, but in any event no more than thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim, give the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that the failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such prompt notice.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that the Indemnifying Party is responsible for the entire Third-Party Claim within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim and to have the Indemnified Party represented by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that (i) the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim if a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that precludes effective joint representation, and (iii) the Indemnified Party may take over the defense and prosecution of a Third-Party Claim from the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim following the provision of written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such failure and the failure of the Indemnifying Party to cure such failure within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice; and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless such settlement provides the Indemnified Party with a full release from such Third-Party Claim and requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not able to, assume or maintain control of such defense in compliance with this Section 8.7(b), the Indemnified Party will have the right to control such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.

8.8 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) In the event an Indemnified Party seeks a recovery, in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 8, in respect of any claim for indemnification (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party. Each Claim Notice shall, with respect to each Claim set forth therein, (i) specify in reasonable detail and in good faith the nature of the Claim being made and (ii) state the aggregate amount of Losses to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.5, as applicable, that have been incurred, or a good faith estimate of the aggregate

amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred, by Indemnified Party pursuant to such Claim (the “Claim Amount”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party wishes to object to the allowance of some or all Claims made in a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party must deliver a written objection (an “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice expressing such objection and explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis therefor. Following receipt by the Indemnified Party of an Objection Notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly, and within thirty (30) Business Days, meet to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Claim that is the subject of such Objection Notice. In the event that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party do not resolve any dispute with respect to a Claim within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt by the Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party of the Objection Notice, then the Indemnified Party may commence a legal proceeding to resolve such dispute and enforce its rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 9.6.

(c) If the Indemnified Party does not receive an Objection Notice from the Indemnifying Party by the end of the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to in Section 8.8(b) above, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 8.

8.9 No Indemnification by the Company. Each of the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that, upon and following the Closing, the Company shall, except as required by Swiss law, not have any liability or obligation to indemnify, save or hold harmless or otherwise pay, reimburse or make any Shareholder whole for or on account of any indemnification or other claims made by any Buyer Indemnitee hereunder. None of the Shareholders shall have any right of contribution against the Company with respect to any such indemnification or other claim.

8.10 Exclusive Remedies. Except for claims based on or arising out of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct or seeking the remedy of specific performance or injunction, the indemnification rights of the parties under this ARTICLE 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Parties with respect to any claim, demand, action, cause, cause of action, suit, or other action, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, suspected or unsuspected, accrued or unaccrued, fixed, contingent, or conditional, at law, in equity, in tort, by Law, Contract, or otherwise, in any way related to, resulting, or arising from the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing shall prohibit Buyer from seeking and obtaining recourse against any of the Shareholders in the event of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by the Company.

9.2 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver, and no such waiver will constitute a waiver of satisfaction of any other provision of this Agreement. To be valid, any document signed by a party in accordance with this Section 9.2 must be signed by a party authorized to do so. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

9.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are consummated; provided that the Shareholders shall be responsible, pro rata based on each Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Consideration, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to the extent such costs are not paid prior to the Closing.

9.4 Assignment and Delegation. No party may assign any part of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, under this Agreement, except (i) with the other parties’ prior written consent, (ii) Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates or to any subsequent purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and (iii) each Shareholder may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement any consideration received pursuant to this Agreement to the ultimate holders of such Shareholder (which in the case of Pentavest shall include Index Ventures V (Jersey), LP, Index Ventures V Parallel Entrepreneur Fund (Jersey), LP and Yucca (Jersey) SLP). No party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to assignment. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of obligations in violation of this Section 9.4 is void. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

9.5 Governing Law. The Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflict of Laws, govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and all of the transactions it contemplates.

9.6 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be settled by arbitration, in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in force on the date when the notice of arbitration is submitted in accordance with such rules. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The seat of the arbitration shall be in London, England. The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

9.7 Specific Performance. Buyer and the Shareholders each agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party shall prior to Closing be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity.

9.8 Counterparts. The parties may sign this Agreement in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one instrument. The parties agree that delivery of this Agreement may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile or other electronic copies.

9.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, or application of that provision to any Persons or circumstances, or in any jurisdiction, other than those as to which it is held unenforceable, will not be affected by that unenforceability and will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

9.11 Disclosure. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and acknowledged that any information disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule under any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and qualify representations and warranties set forth in one or more other parts of the Disclosure Schedule, but only where the relevance of such disclosure to such other part or parts is clear from the text of such disclosure; provided, however, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not by itself be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or item itself).

9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Schedules and the other documents, instruments and other agreements specifically referred to in this Agreement or those documents or delivered under this Agreement or those documents constitute the final

agreement between the parties. It is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement on the subject matter of this Agreement.
