Price, shall be subject to applicable Israeli Tax withholding requirements, unless prior to any such payment the Seller shall provide to Buyer, as applicable, a copy of a valid approval of the ITA establishing an exemption from such Tax withholding

applicable law, and issue its report within [***] days of engagement, in writing to Seller and Buyer (the “Accounting Report”). One-half of the fees of such independent accounting firm shall be borne by Buyer, and one-half of such fees

Certificate will be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documents indicating a calculation of the SDM Settlement Amount.

Negative Adjustment Amount”), then the Closing Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Negative Adjustment Amount, or (ii) is Zero, then the Closing Payment shall not be adjusted, or (iii) is less than Zero (such
difference, the “Estimated Positive Adjustment Amount”), then the Closing Payment shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Positive Adjustment Amount.
10
(c) Within [***] days after the Closing, Buyer will update the Pre-Closing Certificate according to the information received
post-Closing to account for any inaccuracies in the Pre-Closing Certificate and deliver the updated Pre-Closing Cerificate to Seller. Within [***] days after the delivery of such updated Pre-Closing Certificate, Seller may object to SDM Settlement
Amount calculations included in the updated Pre-Closing Certificate (the “SDM Amount Calculations”) by delivering to the Buyer a certificate (the “Objection Certificate”) setting forth Seller's calculation of the SDM Settlement Amount
and the amount by which SDM Settlement Amount as calculated by Seller is different than the SDM Settlement Amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate. In the event that Seller does not deliver an Objection Certificate within [***] days after
the Buyer delivered the updated Pre-Closing Certificate, each of the SDM Settlement Amount and the SDM Amount Calculations included in the Pre-Closing Certificate, as updated, shall be deemed final and binding.
(d) If Seller timely provides the Objection Certificate, then the parties shall confer in good faith for a period of up to
[***]Business Days following Buyer’s timely receipt of the Objection Certificate, in an attempt to resolve any disagreement and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding.
(e) If, after such [***]Business Day period, the Seller and Buyer cannot resolve any such disagreement, then the parties shall engage
an auditing firm selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review the SDM Amount Calculations. Each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees and
representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Reviewing Accountant. The Reviewing Accountant shall (i) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) consider only those matters as to which there is a dispute between the
parties and (iii) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute within [***] days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision. The Reviewing Accountant shall promptly determine the SDM Settlement
Amount, and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties.
(f) If the SDM Settlement Amount, as determined pursuant to Section 2.5(c) (in the event there is no Objection Certificate), Section
2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) as the case may be (“Final SDM Amount”), is (A) different than SDM Settlement Amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate, as updated, such that the downward adjustment to the Closing Payment should have been
higher (such difference, the “Negative SDM Adjustment Amount”), then the Buyer may either, at its sole discretion, retain, out of the Indemnity Holdback Amount or offset from the Contingent Payments, the amount equal to the Negative SDM
Adjustment Amount or require Seller to promptly, and in any event within [***] Business thereafter, transfer to Buyer the Negative SDM Adjustment Amount, or (B) different than SDM Settlement Amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate, as
updated, such that the downward adjustment to the Closing Payment should have been lower (such difference, the “Positive SDM Adjustment Amount”), then the Buyer shall promptly, and in any event within [***] Business thereafter, transfer to
Seller the Positive SDM Adjustment Amount.
11
(g) If the Final SDM Amount is different than SDM Settlement Amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate, such that Seller is
entitled to receive an additional amount of up to $[***], then the fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid by the Seller. In all other cases, the fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid by the Buyer.
(h) The parties recognize that certain amounts, such as accounts payables, constituting or arising from Retained Liabilities (the “Excluded
A/P”) may be billed to or otherwise demanded from Buyer following the Closing and, while not obligated to do so, paid by Buyer. Accordingly, Seller hereby agrees that (i) it shall cooperate and take such actions, including payment as soon as
administratively practicable, as is necessary to ensure that the liability represented by any Excluded A/P is borne by, and timely paid by, Seller and (ii) to the extent that Buyer determines to pay the amount set forth in any receipt for Excluded
A/P, Seller shall promptly, and in any event within [***] Business Days following the receipt of such receipt(s), reimburse Buyer for such amount(s) (it being understood that if Seller fails to do so, Buyer may, in addition to any other remedy
available hereunder, either retain such amount from the Indemnity Holdback Amount and/or offset such amount from the Contingent Payments).

with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant
or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any

claim by delivering a claim certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Seller, in case of Buyer Indemnified Parties, or to Buyer, in case of Seller Indemnified Parties, (“Indemnifying Party”), which Claim Certificate shall: (i) state,
to the extent reasonably capable of estimation, a good faith estimate of the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered or reasonably believes in good faith it may incur or suffer as separate individual items,
and the Indemnified Party may update such estimate from time to time by written notice; and (ii) specify in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnified Party) the nature of the claim for which indemnification is
being sought and the Section of this Agreement that claiming party believes has been breached or relevant. The delivery of the Claim Certificate shall be made no later than the lapse of the applicable Survival Period. Except with respect to a Claim
Certificate submitted following the applicable Survival Period, the sole and exclusive remedy for any defective Claim Certificate shall be a demand for cure of such defect and delivery of a conforming Claim Certificate. Upon receipt of the Buyer or
Seller’s request (as applicable), the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide supporting documentation or evidence reasonably requested to support the Claim Certificate.
41
(b) In the event that Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or
claims specified in any Claim Certificate, it shall, within [***] calendar days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate, deliver a notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, and
all applicable parties shall, within [***] days beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If they shall
succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, they shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should they be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount
or amounts within such time period, then the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to submit such dispute for resolution as set forth in Section 10.7 hereof. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which there is no objection in
writing by the applicable party within [***] days of receipt of such Claim Certificate shall be deemed final and binding.
8.5 Third Party Claims.
(a) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against Seller, against
Buyer or against any other Person) with respect to which any of the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of the
commencement of any such Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that any failure to do so in a timely manner shall not limit any of the rights of the indemnitees under this Article 8 (except, and only to the
extent, such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). Promptly after receipt of such notice, but not later than [***] days thereafter, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to notify the Indemnified Party that it will
participate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense of such third party claim. The Indemnifying Party may also assume the defense of such claim if all of the following conditions are met (it being understood that if any of these
conditions is not met or if Indemnifying Party determines not to promptly assume and diligently pursue such defense, Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense):
(i) |
within said [***] period, Indemnifying Party confirms in writing the obligation thereof to indemnify the Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim;
|
(ii) |
the Indemnified Parties, in their reasonable discretion, do not notify the Indemnifying Parties that they have determined that a conflict of interest exists, which makes separate representation advisable;
|
42
(iii) |
the claim does not involve a claim for injunctive or other similar equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties;
|
(iv) |
the claim does not involve any criminal Law claim against the Indemnified Parties; and
|
(v) |
[***].
|
Even if the Seller assumes and controls the defense, no third party claim shall be settled or compromised by the Seller without the
prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld). If the Seller is entitled, and elects to assume, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim
or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Seller consents in writing to such payment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
To the extent the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party assumes and control the defense, no third party claim shall be settled
or compromised by them without the prior written consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld), except that Buyer may proceed without obtaining such consent, in which case, such settlement or compromise shall not serve as evidence of either
(A) that the third party claim is indemnifiable hereunder by Seller or (B) the amount of indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with such claim.
Assumption by the Indemnified Parties of control of any defense, compromise, or settlement of a third party claim in accordance
herewith shall not be deemed a waiver by of their right to indemnification hereunder.
If the Indemnifying Parties elect not to (or is deemed to have elected, based on the time frames set forth herein, not to) assume

knowledge and experience in the subject matter of the dispute (the "Arbitrator"), shall be appointed by the parties, and if no agreement is reached on the identity of the Arbitrator within [***] days following the submission of such dispute

Contingent Payments
In accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Agreement, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement (including Section 2.4(c) and
Article 8 thereof), Seller shall be entitled to receive the following Contingent Payments, subject to and in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth herein; provided however that, in no event shall
the aggregate of Contingent Payments exceed $12,500,000 (the “Maximum Payout Amount”); it being clarified that any amounts offset by the Buyer against any Contingent Payments which Buyer was entitled to offset pursuant to Article 8 of the
Agreement (“Offset Amounts”) shall be deemed to have been paid by the Buyer for purposes hereof and counted towards such Maximum Payout Amount:
1. Certain Definitions
"Contingent Payment" means a sum equal to [***]% of the Qualified Sales during the Revenue Period, but in no event more than the
Maximum Payout Amount.
“Qualified Sales” means Buyer’s consolidated revenue recognized from its cloud DDoS business during the applicable period (as
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as consistently applied by Buyer in its annual audited consolidated financial statements).
"Revenue Period" means the period between first calendar day immediately after the Closing Date (or, if such day is not the first
calendar day of a month, the first calendar day of a month immediately after the Closing Date) and ending on the date on which the Contingent Payments to which Seller would be entitled (if it were not subject to the Maximum Payout Amount) hereunder
are, in the aggregate, equal to or exceed the Maximum Payout Amount.
2. Procedures
The payment and procedures regarding the Contingent Payments shall be as follows:
2.1. |
Within [***] days following the approval by the Buyer’s Board of Directors of the annual audited consolidated financial statements of Buyer of each fiscal year during the Revenue Period (commencing with the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022), Buyer shall send to the Seller a statement (each, a “Revenue Earnout Statement”) the calculation of the Qualified Sales during the Revenue
Period as well as the calculation of the Contingent Payment, if any, payable under such Revenue Earnout Statement.
|
2.2. |
The Seller may object to the Revenue Earnout Statement, no later than [***] days following delivery thereof, by way of delivering a written notice, executed by the Seller, to that effect to Buyer, providing details for the grounds
for such objection pursuant to the Agreement (the “Revenue Earnout Objection Notice”). If the Seller does not timely deliver such Revenue Earnout Objection Notice or raises objections not in accordance
with the Agreement, then the Revenue Earnout Statement shall be deemed final and binding for all intents and purposes and Buyer shall transfer the Contingent Payment, if any, specified in such Revenue Earnout Statement within [***]
Business Days thereafter, to the Seller.
|
55
2.3. |
However, if the Seller timely delivers such Revenue Earnout Objection Notice, then, notwithstanding Section 10.7 of the Agreement, the dispute regarding such amount shall be resolved as follow:
|
2.3.1. |
Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Contingent Payment in good faith, and if it is so resolved, the Revenue Earnout Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such
resolution and the Revenue Earnout Statement as so modified shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties.
|
2.3.2. |
However, if Buyer and the Seller do not reach, for whatever reason, a final resolution within [***] days after Buyer has received the Revenue Earnout Objection Notice, Buyer and the Seller shall jointly retain an independent accounting
firm of recognized standing (the “CP Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements. If Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree on the choice of the CP Firm within 14 days after the lapse of the said
[***]-days period, then Buyer shall, within 7 days, suggest two firms out of the “big-four” accounting firm (or a successor), of which Seller shall select one as the CP Firm within [***] days thereafter.
|
2.3.3. |
Buyer and the Seller shall direct the CP Firm to render a determination as soon as possible and, in any event, within [***] days after its retention.
|
2.3.4. |
[***].
|
2.3.5. |
[***].
|
2.3.6. |
The Seller shall bear the fees and expenses of the CP Firm with respect to a dispute regarding the Contingent Payment; provided, however, that in the event
that the CP Firm resolves in favor of the Seller for the payment of [***] that were not to be paid pursuant to the Buyer's initial Revenue Earnout Statement, the fees and expenses of the CP Firm shall be fully borne by the Buyer.
|
2.3.7. |
Buyer shall be required to transfer to Seller any Contingent Payment in accordance with the final ruling of the CP Firm not previously paid within [***] Business Days after such ruling has been provided by the CP Firm.
|
3. |
General
|
3.1. |
There can be no assurance that any Contingent Payment will become payable hereunder, the amount or timing thereof. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, it is hereby
clarified and agreed that [***].
|
3.2. |
For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Seller’s obligations in respect of Contingent Payments shall automatically terminate upon the payment (or deemed payment in case of Setoff Amounts as stated in the first paragraph of this Exhibit) of
the Maximum Payout Amount in accordance with the terms hereof.
|
3.3. |
For the sake of clarity, any dispute with respect to this Section 3 shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.7 of the Agreement.
