2.2 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) Vested Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option (after giving effect to any acceleration pursuant to Section 2.2(h)) held by a Company Optionholder (other than an Indemnifying Optionholder) that is not an Underwater Option shall terminate and be cancelled without further action by the parties hereto or the Company Optionholders and upon the cancellation thereof such Company Option shall be converted into the right to receive for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, an amount in cash equal to (i) the Residual Per Share Amount, minus (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option (such amount, a “Cash Option Payment” and the sum of all such payments, the “Aggregate Cash Option Payment”).

(b) Indemnifying Optionholders. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then unvested, outstanding and unexercised and held by the Indemnifying Optionholders shall become fully vested and exercisable. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option (after giving effect to any acceleration pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)) held by an Indemnifying Optionholder that is not an Underwater Option shall terminate and be cancelled without further action by the parties hereto or the Company Optionholders and upon the cancellation thereof such Company Option shall be converted into the right to receive for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option (apportioned between cash and shares of Parent Stock as set forth in Section 2.3):

(v) an amount equal to (A) the Residual Per Share Amount, minus (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option (such amount, a “Indemnifying Option Cash Payment” and the sum of all such payments, the “Aggregate Indemnifying Option Cash Payment”);

(vi) any disbursements required to be made from the Escrow Fund with respect to such share to the former holder thereof in accordance with Section 9.8, as and when such disbursements are required to be made;

(vii) any additional amount that may be required to be paid by Parent with respect to such share to the former holder thereof in accordance with Section 2.4(f), as and when such payment is required to be made; and

(viii) any payments of cash and/or issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, due pursuant to Section 2.12 in respect of such share;

provided, however, that any consideration payable pursuant to clause (i) to any Indemnifying Optionholder shall be subject to the conditions and contingencies of such holder’s Support Agreement and Investment Representation Letter. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder is entitled to receive under this Section 2.2(b) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Stock.

(c) Withholding. All consideration to be received by the holders of Withholding Options pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be paid to and distributed by the Surviving Corporation promptly after the Effective Time, treated as compensation by it and shall be net of any applicable Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 2.10. All consideration to be received by the holders of Company Options that are not Withholding Options pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be, subject to each such holder first providing all documentation required by Parent (including an IRS Form W-9 or any successor form), paid to and distributed by the Exchange Agent to such Company Optionholder. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of Vested Company Options describing the treatment of the Vested Company Options in accordance with this Section 2.2. No holder of any Underwater Option shall be entitled to any consideration with respect thereto.

(d) Exercise of EMI Options. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to each EMI Optionholder who holds Vested EMI Options: (i) written notice, in such form as may be agreed between the Company and Parent, that such holder’s EMI Options shall be exercisable on the day prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) a notice of exercise in respect of Vested EMI Options in such form as may be agreed between the Company and Parent (the “EMI Exercise Notice”). Each EMI Optionholder who returns a duly completed EMI Exercise Notice to the Company by the day which is two days prior to the Effective Time (or such other later time as the Company and the Parent may agree), thereby instructs (such instructions being contingent on the Closing taking place) Parent to pay to the Company, in such EMI Optionholder’s name and on such EMI Optionholder’s behalf, at the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.8: (A) the exercise price of each Vested EMI Option which is not an Underwater Option and that is exercised prior to or contingent upon the Closing multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be received by such holder as a result of the exercise of each such EMI Option (the “EMI Exercise Price”); and (B) an amount equal to any liability for income tax or other Taxes in respect of which the Company is liable to account to HMRC or any other Tax authority (including any income tax, primary class 1 (employees’) National Insurance contributions and secondary class 1 (employer’s) National Insurance contributions or other similar levies) which arise as a consequence of or in connection with the exercise of such EMI Options (collectively, the “EMI Option Taxes”, and, together with the EMI Exercise Price, the “EMI Option Amount”). Consequently, the consideration to be paid to each holder of an EMI Option in accordance with Section 2.8 in respect of Company Common Stock received on exercise of such Vested EMI Options shall be reduced by the EMI Option Amount. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall issue all shares of Common Stock with respect to which each Vested EMI Option which is not an Underwater Option is due to be exercised pursuant to the EMI Exercise Notices prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Company the aggregate exercise price for all Company Common Stock issued upon the exercise of each Vested EMI Option which is not an Underwater Option prior to or contingent upon the Closing, together with the full amount of any EMI Option Taxes arising in connection with the exercise of any such Vested EMI Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Vested EMI Options are not exercised, they will be treated as Vested Company Options in accordance with Section 2.2(a). All holders of exercised EMI Options will be treated as Non-Qualifying Holders for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Assumed Options. Subject to Section 2.1(f), at the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option (including any Unvested EMI Option) that is set forth on Schedule 2.2(d) shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent (each such Unvested Company Option, an “Assumed Option”) in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the parties shall update and finalize such schedule of Assumed Options immediately prior to the Closing, it being understood that Parent will assume only Unvested Company Options that are held by Company Optionholders who are Company Continuing Employees. Each Unvested Company Option held by a Company Optionholder who is not a Continuing Company Employee, subject to Section 2.2(h), shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration upon the Effective Time. Each Assumed Option shall otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the Company Stock Plan and the applicable stock option or other agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) Parent shall have any and all amendment and administrative authority with respect to such option (subject, in the case of any amendment, to any required consent of the affected Company Optionholder), (ii) such option shall become exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Equity Exchange Ratio, and (iii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Equity Exchange Ratio. All Assumed Options that prior to the Effective Time were treated as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall from and after the Effective Time be treated as non-qualified stock options and shall not be treated as incentive stock options under the Code, and any Assumed Options that prior to the Effective Time include an “early exercise” feature that permitted the option to be exercised prior to the time that the option had vested shall from and after the Effective Time no longer include such an early-exercise feature. Clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be subject to such reasonable adjustments to (A) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock in respect of which each Assumed Option which is an Unvested EMI Option (and for which the Company has received a duly completed Unvested EMI Form of Instruction) is exercisable, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option, in each case as is necessary in order to ensure that such Assumed Option satisfies the requirements of paragraphs 43(6) and (7) of Schedule 5 to ITEPA. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not apply if the Assumed Option is not an Unvested EMI Option for which the Company has received a duly completed Unvested EMI Form of Instruction.

(f) Assumed EMI Options. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to each EMI Optionholder holding Unvested EMI Options (A) written notice, in such form as may be agreed between the Company and Parent, that such EMI Optionholder’s EMI Option may be converted on the terms set out therein (such terms to be compliant with Schedule 5 of ITEPA, and as agreed between the Company and the Parent) into an option to acquire Parent Common Stock and (B) a form of instruction, in such form as may be agreed between the Company and Parent (the “Unvested EMI Form of Instruction”), which shall provide for, subject to such form being duly completed and returned to the Company prior to the Effective Time by the relevant EMI Optionholder, the conversion of such EMI Optionholder’s Unvested EMI Options into enterprise management incentive options in the Parent (“Parent EMI Options”). The Parent agrees to treat all Parent EMI Options, to the extent permitted by law, as enterprise management incentive options for the purposes of Schedule 5 of ITEPA. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Parent is informed by HM Revenue & Customs that the Parent EMI Options are not eligible for any tax-favored status applicable to enterprise management options, the Parent will cease to treat such Parent EMI Options as enterprise management options for the purposes of Schedule 5 of ITEPA. The holders of such Parent EMI Options shall have no recourse to the Parent as a result of such loss of enterprise management incentive status. Unvested EMI Options in respect of which the relevant EMI Optionholder does not return an Unvested EMI Form of Instruction shall not be treated by the Parent as qualifying enterprise management incentive options with tax favored status. The Company shall notify HM Revenue & Customs in a timely manner of the issue of such Parent EMI Options.

(g) Company Actions. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take or cause to be taken such actions, and shall obtain all such consents, as may be required to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.

(h) Acceleration. Except for the Company Options set forth on Schedule 2.2(h), the Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Company Options beyond what is contractually required as of the Agreement Date as specified in Schedule 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and will take any action that it is permitted to take to ensure that the vesting of such Company Options is not accelerated.

(i) Registration of Assumed Options. Parent will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Options to be registered with the SEC on Form S‑8 no later than 30 days following the Effective Time, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Options remain outstanding, and (iii) maintain a sufficient number of reserved shares of Parent Common Stock for issuance upon exercise or vesting, as applicable, thereof.

2.3 Apportionment of Payments and Escrow Contributions.

(a) With respect to any Qualifying Holder, the Merger Consideration payable to such Qualifying Holder pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.1(e)(i), Section 2.1(e)(ii), Section 2.1(g)(i) and Section 2.1(g)(ii), shall be payable as: (A) an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) such Qualifying Holder’s Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.1(e)(i), Section 2.1(e)(ii), Section 2.1(g)(i) and Section 2.1(g)(ii), multiplied by (2) the Cash Percentage; and (B) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the product of (aa) such Qualifying Holder’s Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.1(e)(i), Section 2.1(e)(ii), Section 2.1(g)(i) and Section 2.1(g)(ii), multiplied by (bb) the Stock Percentage, divided by (2) the Average Trading Price. In determining the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to each Qualifying Holder, all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to each holder with respect to its shares of Company Capital Stock shall be aggregated before determining fractional shares. With respect to any Non-Qualifying Holder, such Non-Qualifying Holder’s Merger Consideration shall be payable entirely in cash.

(b) With respect to any Qualifying Holder, the Per Share Escrow Contribution Amount with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Qualifying Holder shall be contributed to the Escrow Fund as: (A) an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) such Per Share Escrow Contribution Amount, multiplied by (2) the Cash Percentage; and (B) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the product of (aa) such Per Share Escrow Contribution Amount, multiplied by (bb) the Stock Percentage, divided by (2) the Average Trading Price. In determining the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be contributed to the Escrow Fund by each Qualifying Holder, all shares of Parent Common Stock contributed to the Escrow Fund by such Qualifying Holder with respect to its shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be aggregated before determining fractional shares. With respect to any Non-Qualifying Holder, such Non-Qualifying Holder’s Per Share Escrow Contribution Amount with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Non-Qualifying Holder shall be contributed to the Escrow Fund entirely in cash.

2.4 Adjustments.

(a) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the estimated Closing Working Capital Amount, derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP using the same practices, procedures, principles, classifications and methodologies applied in the preparation of the Company Balance Sheet (including with respect to the establishing of reserves). The Company shall provide Parent and its accounting and financial staff, auditors and advisors reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and its accounting and financial staff in connection with Parent’s review thereof. The Company will review any comments on the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount made by Parent and will consider, in good faith, any appropriate changes.

(b) On the Closing Date, (i) if the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the Working Capital Upper Threshold and greater than the Working Capital Lower Threshold, the Adjusted Transaction Value will not be increased or decreased, (ii) if the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than the Working Capital Upper Threshold, the Adjusted Transaction Value will be increased by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than the Working Capital Upper Threshold, and (iii) if the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the Working Capital Lower Threshold, the Adjusted Transaction Value will be decreased by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Lower Threshold. The Adjusted Transaction Value, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), is referred to herein as the “Estimated Adjusted Transaction Value.”

(c) Following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Representative, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than 90 days following the Closing Date, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the Closing Working Capital Amount derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same practices, procedures, principles, classifications and methodologies applied in the preparation of the Company Balance Sheet (including with respect to the establishing of reserves).

(d) The Representative shall have 30 days from its receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement (the “Objection Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. Parent shall grant the Representative access at reasonable times and places and upon reasonable advance notice to all books, records and employees of the Surviving Corporation as reasonably requested by the Representative in connection with its review of the Closing Working Capital Statement. Upon the expiration of the Objection Period, the Representative, on behalf of all Company Stockholders, shall be deemed to have accepted, and shall be bound by, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the calculation therein of the Closing Working Capital Amount, unless the Representative shall have informed Parent in writing of its disagreement with the Closing Working Capital Statement prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (the “Objection”), specifying each disputed item and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”). Parent shall have 30 days from the date on which it receives the Objection (the date on which such 30 day period ends, the “Response Date”) to review and respond to such Objection. If Parent and the Representative are able to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution of each Disputed Item, and each signs a certificate to that effect, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the calculation therein of the Closing Working Capital Amount, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall be deemed final, non-appealable and binding for purposes of this Agreement. If any Disputed Items have not been resolved by the Response Date, either Parent or the Representative may refer such Disputed Items to an independent, mutually agreeable, nationally recognized public accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) who shall accept its appointment within seven days after such referral, to make a final, non-appealable and binding determination as to such remaining Disputed Items pursuant to the terms hereof. The Accounting Referee shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Accounting Referee shall be directed to make a determination of the Disputed Items in accordance with Section 2.4(e) promptly, but no later than 30 days, after acceptance of its appointment. Parent and the Representative agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect the selection and appointment of the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), including executing an engagement agreement with the Accounting Referee providing for reasonable and customary compensation and other terms of such engagement. Parent and the Representative shall make readily available to the Accounting Referee all relevant books, records and employees of the Company and the Surviving Corporation that are reasonably requested by the Accounting Referee in connection with the Accounting Referee’s review of any Disputed Items.

(e) If Disputed Items are referred to the Accounting Referee for resolution pursuant to Section 2.4(d), the Accounting Referee shall determine only with respect to the Disputed Items submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Working Capital Amount set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement requires adjustment. With respect to each Disputed Item, the Accounting Referee’s determination shall be within the range of values assigned to such Disputed Item by Parent and the Representative. Any finding by the Accounting Referee shall be (i) a reasoned award stating in reasonable detail the findings of fact on which it is based, (ii) final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties hereto and (iii) the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties hereto regarding the Disputed Items so presented. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) in the same proportion that the dollar amount of Disputed Items which are not resolved in favor of Parent or the Representative, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of Disputed Items resolved by the Accounting Referee. Each of Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.4.

(f) Payment of the Adjustments.

(i) Payment of the adjustments as contemplated by this Section 2.4(f) shall be made (A) if no Objection is made by the Representative during the Objection Period, within five Business Days following the expiration of the Objection Period or (B) if the Representative submits an Objection within the Objection Period, within five Business Days following final resolution of all Disputed Items by either Parent and the Representative or the Accounting Referee.

(ii) If, upon the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount as provided in Section 2.4(d) or 2.4(e), the Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than the Working Capital Upper Threshold, Parent shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, an aggregate amount in cash equal to such excess to (A) the Exchange Agent for payment to the Company Stockholders in accordance with the Exchange Agent Agreement and (B) to the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof, for subsequent release to the Indemnifying Optionholders as part of the second regularly scheduled payroll cycle of the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate following such release . Subject to Section 9.9, any such amounts shall be promptly distributed to the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders in accordance with each their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(iii) If, upon the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount as provided in Section 2.4(d) or 2.4(e), the Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the Working Capital Lower Threshold, the Representative and Parent shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release an amount in cash equal to such difference from the Escrow Fund to Parent.

(iv) The Estimated Adjusted Transaction Value as adjusted by this Section 2.4 is referred to herein as the “Final Adjusted Transaction Value.”

(v) Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Adjusted Transaction Value.

2.5 Escrow; Expense Fund.

(a) Escrow Amount. At the Effective Time, Parent shall withhold the Escrow Amount from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e), Section 2.1(g) and Section 2.2(b) to the Non-Dissenting Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Parent shall deposit in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement: (A) an amount in cash equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Escrow Amount (the “Escrow Cash”) and (B) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1)(aa) the Escrow Amount, minus (bb) the Escrow Cash, divided by (2) the Average Trading Price (the “Escrow Shares”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be deposited in escrow under this Section 2.5(a) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

(b) Escrow Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Parent, the Representative and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Escrow Agreement”). At or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Cash and issue, or cause its transfer agent to issue, a book entry position registered in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee representing the Escrow Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a). The Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares (collectively, the “Escrow Fund”) shall be held by the Escrow Agent as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Fund shall be subject to reduction for Claims as provided in Article 9. Each Indemnifying Party’s rights, if any, to receive amounts from the Escrow Fund are non-transferable and non-assignable.

(c) Expense Fund Amount. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 2.1(c), 2.1(e), 2.1(g) and Section 2.2(b): (i) at the Effective Time, Parent shall withhold the Expense Fund Amount from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e), Section 2.1(g) and Section 2.2(b) to the Non-Dissenting Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders; and (ii) at or as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Parent shall make, or cause to be made, payment of an amount in cash equal to the Expense Fund Amount by wire transfer to a segregated client bank account maintained by the Representative, to be held in such segregated client bank account and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Expense Fund Amount as contemplated herein shall reflect a proportionate contribution from each Non-Dissenting Stockholder and the Indemnifying Optionholders in an amount equal to such Person’s Pro Rata Share of such amount.

(d) Tax. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Amount is intended to be part of the aggregate acquisition consideration payable in exchange for Company Capital Stock in accordance with this Agreement. Accordingly, except with respect to interest imputed under Sections 483 or 1274 of the Code, the parties agree to report payments of the Escrow Amount for U.S. federal and state and foreign income Tax purposes consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by Law.

2.6 The Closing. Subject to the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8, the Closing shall take place at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, 00000, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date or at such later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger, in customary form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Certificate of Merger”), with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL (the time of such filing and acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

2.7 Effects of the Merger. At and upon the Effective Time:

(a) The separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger. The effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, all the property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation and all of the debts, obligations, liabilities, restrictions and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, obligations liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the DGCL.

(b) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any other Person, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in its entirety as the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except the name shall remain Nexmo Inc. and the provisions relating to the incorporator shall be omitted), and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any other Person, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that all references to Merger Sub shall be changed to refer to Nexmo Inc.), and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(d) The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed or until their earlier death, resignation or removal, in each case in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) The members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal, in each case in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

2.8 Exchange.

(a) At or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited: (i) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company or such other Person as Parent may select (the “Exchange Agent”) (A) for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, an amount in cash equal to (1) the Cash Consideration, minus (2) the Withholding Options Closing Payment, minus (3) the Indemnifying Optionholder Cash Amount, minus (4) the Escrow Amount, minus (5) the aggregate EMI Option Amount for all Vested EMI Options that are exercised in accordance with Section 2.2(d), and (B) for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders, the Stock Consideration, in the form of certificates of Parent Common Stock issued in the name of each Qualifying Holder, to be held by the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) to be executed prior to the Closing by Parent and the Exchange Agent; provided, that Parent shall not deposit with the Exchange Agent any portion of the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration retained by Parent pursuant to the terms of any Management Holder’s Support Agreement, which amounts shall be paid out (if at all) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Support Agreement; and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation, (A) for the benefit of the Company Optionholders (other than the Indemnifying Optionholders) who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, hold Company Options with respect to which the Company has Tax withholding obligations (“Withholding Options”) that are not Underwater Options, an amount (such amount, the “Withholding Options Closing Payment”) equal to the portion of the Aggregate Cash Option Payment attributable to such Withholding Options, which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.2(a), and (B) for the benefit of the Indemnifying Optionholders, an amount equal to the Aggregate Indemnifying Option Cash Payment, which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, to each Company Stockholder who holds a certificate or certificates that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, to any Company Stockholder who delivers a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal (together with the Certificate(s) from the Company Stockholders for cancellation or an affidavit of loss as described in Section 2.8(d) below and any other documents as Parent shall reasonably require), the Merger Consideration that such Company Stockholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g), in each case without interest thereon.  

(c) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to Company Stockholders or Indemnifying Optionholders under this Agreement, and such former Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of Parent with respect to any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would have otherwise been issued to such former Company Stockholders or Indemnifying Optionholders.

(d) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall, as promptly as practicable following the receipt by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, of such affidavit, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in exchange therefor that the Company Stockholder has the right to receive. Parent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates formerly representing such Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided herein or by Law.

(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Capital Stock shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth in the Spreadsheet are presented to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration and any other amount payable with respect to such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g), subject to the terms of Section 2.4, Section 2.5 and this Section 2.8.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to pay an amount in excess of $230,000,000, plus any amount payable by Parent pursuant to Section 2.4(f)(ii), plus the Variable Payout Amount (if any) under this Agreement.

2.9 Dissenting Shares. If, in connection with the Merger, holders of Company Capital Stock shall have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, none of such Dissenting Shares shall be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the holder of such Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the DGCL). In the event that any Company Stockholder fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its appraisal rights as to its shares of Company Capital Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g) in respect of such shares as if such shares had never been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 2.8, following the satisfaction of the applicable Payment Conditions, the Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder would have been entitled under Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g) with respect to such shares. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt written notice (and in no event more than two Business Days) of (i) any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Company Capital Stock or notice of exercise of a Company Stockholder’s appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL and (ii) the withdrawals of such demands and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company agrees that, except with Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), it shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or exercise of appraisal rights (it being understood that if Parent requires the Company and the Representative to agree in writing, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, that any such payment will be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(e) (to the extent such payment, together with the amount such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Article 2 upon the exchange of the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder, exceeds the value of the amount that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Article 2 upon the exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder), such requirement shall not be deemed to be unreasonable).

2.10 Tax Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the Merger Consideration or any other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including the Escrow Amount) or any Equity Release Agreement, the amounts required to be deducted, withheld and/or paid or accounted for under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, and to the extent legally permissible, employer’s National Insurance contributions), with respect to the making of such payment and, to the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld, accounted for and/or paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. The parties agree to cooperate to allow Parent, at its election, to effectuate such withholding by means acceptable to Parent, including by paying the applicable Merger Consideration for which such withholding is required to the Surviving Corporation and causing the Surviving Corporation to withhold the applicable amounts through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system. Except for such withholding rights, the recipient of any payments payable pursuant to this Agreement is solely responsible for any and all Liabilities for Taxes that may arise with respect to any Merger Consideration or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

2.11 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, any of the parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

2.12 Variable Payout.

(a) The Participating Holders may be entitled to receive additional, contingent consideration upon the determination of the Average Company Revenue, as follows:

(i) if the Average Company Revenue is less than or equal to (A) the Revenue Benchmark Amount minus (B) Maximum Monthly Variable Payout Amount, then the “Variable Payout Amount” shall equal zero ($0);

(ii) if the Average Company Revenue is (A) greater than the Revenue Benchmark Amount, minus the Maximum Monthly Variable Payout Amount and (B) less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Revenue Benchmark Amount, then the “Variable Payout Amount” shall equal: (1) $20,000,000, minus (2) the product of (x) the difference between the Revenue Benchmark Amount and Average Company Revenue, multiplied by (y) twelve; and

(iii) if the Average Company Revenue is greater than or equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Revenue Benchmark Amount, then the “Variable Payout Amount” shall equal $20,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Variable Payout Amount exceed $20,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Schedule 2.12(a) is an illustrative calculation of the Variable Payout Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the revenue of the Acquired Companies for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016 is less than $90,000,000, then the Variable Payout Amount shall equal zero ($0). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s revenue shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with the accounting and revenue recognition policies of the Company as of March 31, 2016, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the categorization of customers as retail or trading customers.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.12, Parent shall, no later than September 30, 2017, pay or cause to be paid to (i) the Exchange Agent for further distribution to each Participating Holder in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Participating Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any), an amount in cash equal to (A) the Payout Specified Fraction with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock, multiplied by (B) (1) the Variable Payout Amount, minus (2) the G2020 Fee; and (ii) to G2020, the G2020 Fee; provided, however, that if the Representative delivers an Initial Objection Notice or a Final Objection Notice to Parent in accordance with Section 2.12(f), then Parent shall make any payments required under this Section 2.12(c) within five Business Days after the dispute identified in such Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, is resolved. Parent shall be entitled to rely upon the amount of the G2020 Fee and the wire instructions as provided by the Representative in Section 2.12(f).

(d)

(i) In lieu of paying any portion of the Variable Payout Amount in cash, Parent may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay all or any portion of such Variable Payout Amount (such portion, expressed as a dollar amount, the “Share Allocated Variable Payout Portion”) in the form of shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12(d) (each such payment, a “Share Issuance” and such election to make a Share Issuance, a “Share Issuance Election”). If a Share Issuance Election is made, then (A) each Participating Holder shall promptly execute and deliver a customary subscription agreement with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Share Issuance, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, which shall contain representations and share legend provisions consistent with the Investment Representation Letter, and (B) each Participating Holder shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and any of its Affiliates in effecting the Share Issuance.

(ii) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.12(d), if a Share Issuance Election is made with respect to any Variable Payout Amount, then, on or prior to the date on which such Variable Payout Amount is due to be paid by Parent, Parent shall: (A) issue to each Participating Holder, with respect to each Participating Share held by such Participating Holder that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to: (1) the Payout Specified Fraction with respect to such Participating Share, multiplied by (2) the Share Allocated Variable Payout Portion, divided by (3) the Specified Trading Price, and deliver such shares of Parent Common Stock to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Participating Holders in accordance with Section 2.12(b); and (B) reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise have been payable in respect of such share pursuant to Section 2.12(b) by subtracting from such amount the amount referred to in clause (A) of this sentence, it being understood that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to any Participating Holder pursuant to this Section 2.12(d)(ii) shall be determined after aggregating all fractions of a share issuable to such Participating Holder with any fractional share remaining after such aggregation to be paid in cash based on the Specified Trading Price. Parent shall ensure that any shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to a Share Issuance Election are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any Encumbrances created by Parent, including that such shares will not bear a legend restricting their trading under Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.12(d)(ii), if the Representative delivers an Initial Objection Notice or a Final Objection Notice to Parent in accordance with Section 2.12(f), then any payments or Share Issuances required under this Section 2.12(d) shall be made to the Participating Holders within five Business Days after the dispute identified in such Initial Objection Notice or a Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, is resolved.

(iv) Notwithstanding any Share Issuance Election made by Parent, with respect to any Participating Holder who is a Non-Qualifying Holder (or with respect to whom Parent does not have a reasonable belief that such Participating Holder is an Accredited Investor), such Participating Holder shall, at the option of Parent, in its sole discretion, in lieu of the shares of Parent Common Stock to which such Participating Holder would otherwise have been entitled under this Section 2.12(d), receive an amount in cash equal to (A) the Specified Trading Price, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which such Participating Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive under this Section 2.12(d).

(e) On or before July 31, 2017, Parent shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared a statement (the “Variable Payout Statement”) setting forth the Variable Payout Amount that Parent believes is due in accordance with Section 2.12 and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered such Variable Payout Statement to the Representative for and on behalf of the Participating Holders.

(f) In the event that the Representative objects to Parent’s calculation of the Variable Payout Amount set forth in a Variable Payout Statement or requires further information in order to perform such calculations or determine such amount, then within 30 days after the delivery to the Representative of such Variable Payout Statement (the “Initial Response Period”), the Representative shall deliver to Parent a written notice (an “Initial Objection Notice”): (i) describing in reasonable detail the Representative’s objections to Parent’s calculation of the amounts set forth in such statement and containing a statement setting forth the Variable Payout Amount determined by the Representative to be correct; or (ii) requesting additional information from Parent that the Representative deems reasonably necessary in order to perform such calculations or determine such amount (which information, to the extent reasonably necessary in order to perform such calculations, shall be provided by Parent within 15 days after Parent’s receipt of such request). If the Representative does not deliver an Initial Objection Notice to Parent during the Initial Response Period, then Parent’s calculation of the amounts set forth in the Variable Payout Statement shall be deemed conclusive and binding on Parent, the Participating Holders and the Representative. If the Representative delivers an Initial Objection Notice to Parent accompanied by a request for additional information from Parent during the Initial Response Period, as described above, then the Representative shall have an additional 30 days after receiving from Parent all of the information requested by the Representative (such 30 day period, the “Final Response Period”) to deliver to Parent a written notice (a “Final Objection Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the Representative’s objections to Parent’s calculations of the amounts set forth in such Variable Payout Statement accompanied by a statement setting forth the Variable Payout Amount determined by the Representative to be correct. If the Representative has requested additional information in an Initial Objection Notice delivered during the Initial Response Period and does not deliver a Final Objection Notice to Parent during the Final Response Period, then Parent’s calculation of the amounts set forth in the Variable Payout Statement shall be deemed conclusive and binding on Parent, the Participating Holders and the Representative. If the Representative delivers an Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, accompanied by a statement setting forth the Variable Payout Amount determined by the Representative to be correct to Parent during either the Initial Response Period or the Final Response Period in accordance with this Section 2.12(f), and if the Representative and Parent are unable to agree upon the calculation of the amounts set forth in the Variable Payout Statement within 30 days after such Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, is delivered to Parent, the dispute shall be finally settled by the Accounting Referee. In reviewing the differences with respect to matters specified in the Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, the Accounting Referee shall (i) consider only those items or amounts disputed by the Representative in the Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice which remain in dispute, (ii) shall not assign a value to any item or amount in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item or amount assigned by the Representative, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item or amount assigned by the Representative, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand and (iii) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Participating Holders) in the same proportion that the dollar amount of items set forth in the Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice which are not resolved in favor of Parent or the Representative, as applicable, bear to the total dollar amount of items set forth in such notice that are resolved by the Accounting Referee. Each of Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Participating Holders) shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.12. No later than two Business Days following the final determination of the Variable Payout Amount pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Representative shall deliver to Parent a statement setting forth the amount of the Transaction Fees owed to G2020, if any, in connection with the achievement of the Variable Payout Amount (the “G2020 Fee”), together with wire instructions for the payment thereof; provided, that the G2020 Fee shall not exceed the Variable Payout Amount.

(g) No right or interest of any Participating Holder under this Section 2.12 may be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, other than pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or by will.

(h) On and after the Closing, Parent shall have sole and absolute discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Company Business and the Acquired Companies; provided, that from the Effective Time through May 31, 2017, except to the extent the Representative has granted its written consent (such consent to be exercised in its sole discretion), (i) Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies to be operated in a manner that complies in all material respects with applicable Law and (ii) Parent shall not intentionally take any actions that have the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Variable Payout Amount.

(i) In the event that, at any time prior to May 31, 2017, (i) there occurs a liquidation or dissolution of the Surviving Company or Parent other than into an Affiliate of Parent, (ii) there occurs a sale, outbound exclusive license or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Company or Parent to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent in one or a series of transactions, (iii) there occurs a merger, reorganization, consolidation or share exchange in which the outstanding shares of the Surviving Company’s or Parent’s capital stock are cancelled, converted into or exchanged for a different kind of securities of the successor entity and the successor entity is not an Affiliate of Parent, (iv) there occurs an acquisition of all or substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Company or Parent by a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent, or (v) Parent elects, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the payment of the Variable Payout Amount, then the Variable Payout Amount of $20,000,000 shall become due and payable immediately (less the amount of the G2020 Fee, which shall become due and payable to G2020).

(i) “Average Company Revenue” means the average monthly revenue of the Company (determined on a calendar month basis) generated from the Top 100 Customers for the twelve month period ending May 31, 2017, as calculated in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Schedule 2.12(j)(i).

(d) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Letter, to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date (as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date rather than the Agreement Date, except in the case of any individual representation and warranty which by its terms speaks only as of a specific date or dates, in which case as though made as of such specific date or dates) and any failure of any certification to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(a) to be true and correct as of the date such certificate shall be delivered to Parent (this Section 9.2(a), and any Third-Party Claim to the extent arising out of or resulting from this Section 9.2(a), the “Company Representation Indemnities”);

(i) any Indemnified Taxes;

(j) any matter referred to in Schedule 9.2(g);

(k) any Third-Party Claim relating to any of the items referred to in clauses (b) through (g) above;

9.3 Limitations.

(a) In the case of a claim with respect to any of the Company Representation Indemnities, each Indemnifying Party shall be severally and not jointly liable for such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages resulting therefrom up to an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for any such claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, except in the case of (i) the indemnification provided under Section 9.2(i), or (ii) any failure of any of the Specified Representations to be true and correct as set forth in Section 9.2(a).

(b) In the case of (i) any failure of any of the Specified Representations to be true and correct as set forth in Section 9.2(a), (ii) any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement made pursuant to clauses (b) through (f), (i) and (j) of Section 9.2 and (iii) any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement made pursuant to clause (h) of Section 9.2 arising out of an alleged breach of any Specified Representation or the matters described in clauses (b) through (f), (i) and (j) of Section 9.2, each Indemnifying Party shall be severally and not jointly liable for such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages resulting therefrom up to an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of cash paid to such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 2 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash retained by Parent pursuant to the terms of any Management Holder’s Support Agreement), inclusive of contributions to the Escrow Fund, plus (ii) (A) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock (if any) paid to such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 2 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Parent Common Stock retained by Parent pursuant to the terms of any Management Holder’s Support Agreement), inclusive of contributions to the Escrow Fund, multiplied by (B) the Average Trading Price). In the case of (1) any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement made pursuant to clause (g) of Section 9.2 and (2) any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement made pursuant to clause (h) of Section 9.2 arising out of an alleged breach of the matters described in clause (g) of Section 9.2, each Indemnifying Party shall be severally and not jointly liable for such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages resulting therefrom up to an amount equal to the amount set forth on Schedule 9.2(g).

(c) Except pursuant to the indemnification provided under Section 9.2(i), no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach by any other Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no maximum liability for any Indemnifying Party who committed or was complicit in committing fraud or made any intentional misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or knowingly and willfully breached this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for any claims of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach that are asserted against the Person who allegedly committed such fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach, the Indemnified Party shall be required to first seek recourse to the Escrow Fund for all indemnifiable Damages prior to seeking further indemnification recourse directly against the Indemnifying Parties. For Damages that are outside of the Escrow Fund (i) from the Closing Date until the date that is 6 months after the Closing Date, each Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to settle any such Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock received in connection with the Merger (which shares shall be valued at the Average Trading Price), and (ii) following the date that is 6 months after the Closing Date, each Indemnifying Party shall be required to settle any such Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible in cash.

(e) No Indemnified Party may receive any portion of the Escrow Fund in respect of any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that is made pursuant to the Company Representation Indemnities (in each case except for any claims (i) with respect to any Specified Representations or (ii) which involve fraud, knowing and willful breach or intentional misrepresentation), unless and until Damages in the aggregate under all claims that have been incurred or paid exceed $750,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnified Parties may make claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement for all Damages, including the amount of the Basket. In determining the amount of any Damages in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, but not in determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred, any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of calculating or determining the amount of Damages incurred under Section 9.2, there shall be deducted from any Damages an amount equal to the amount of any proceeds actually received by any Indemnified Party from any third-party insurer or third party contractual indemnification or contribution provisions in connection with such Damages (after giving effect to any deductible or retention or increase in premium associated therewith to the extent paid or payable and net of any costs, Taxes and expenses of recovery or collection thereof); provided, however, that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any obligation to (i) seek recovery against any insurance policies or to enforce such third party contractual indemnification or contribution provisions, or (ii) obtain insurance coverage or other third party protection with respect to any particular matter; provided, further, that in the event the Indemnified Parties first recover against the Escrow Fund or the Indemnifying Parties directly for any particular Damages and thereafter recover for the same Damages pursuant to any existing insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions, then the amount recovered pursuant to such existing insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (up to the amount first recovered by the Indemnified Parties) shall promptly be paid to the Indemnifying Parties by Parent.

(g) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to double recovery for any adjustments to the Merger Consideration provided for hereunder or for any indemnifiable Damages even though such Damages may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement in respect of any Damages to the extent such Damages were taken into account in the calculation of, and reduced the value of (i) the Final Adjusted Transaction Value, including the calculation of the Closing Debt Amount, the amount of Transaction Fees (including the Closing Employee Payments) and (ii) the Closing Working Capital Amount.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances will any party be liable to the other for any punitive, speculative or remote damages or any damages that are not the reasonably foreseeable consequence of any breach or inaccuracy contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, or any certificate, document or agreement contemplated by or required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (except, in the case of punitive damages, to the extent such punitive damages are awarded to a third party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim).

(i) The rights to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement set forth in this Agreement based on the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations set forth herein shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by Parent, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (whether before or after the Agreement Date or the Closing Date), with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

(j) The parties acknowledge the applicability of the common law duty to mitigate Damages.

9.4 Notice of Claim.

(c) As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement of an Indemnified Party for Damages under this Article 9.

(d) Parent, on behalf of itself or an Indemnified Party, shall give written notice of a Claim that complies with the requirements of Section 9.6 and is executed by Parent (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Representative reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article 9, arising from or relating to:

(i) any matter specified in Section 9.2; or

(ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnified Party of an Action brought by a third party against such Indemnified Party that is based on, arises out of, or relates to subject matter that, if determined adversely to such Indemnified Party (regardless of the eventual outcome of such Action), could result in a Claim (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”).

(e) No delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in giving the Representative a Notice of Claim (or any update or amendment thereto after conducting discovery regarding the underlying facts and circumstances set forth therein) shall relieve the Representative or any Indemnifying Party from any of their respective obligations under this Article 9 unless (and then only to the extent that) the Representative or the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby in terms of the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Parties are obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

9.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(n) Parent or its Subsidiaries shall determine and conduct the investigation, defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred or paid by the Indemnified Party in connection with such investigation, defense or settlement (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees, costs of investigation and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Damages for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to a Claim made by any Indemnified Party hereunder, regardless of the resolution of such Third-Party Claim and whether it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of, resulted from or was in connection with a matter for which indemnity is otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9.2; provided, that the foregoing shall be subject to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3.

(o) The Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Representative does not affect any privilege relating to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall provide the Representative the opportunity to consult with and participate in, but, except as set forth in Section 10.3, not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim, all at the sole expense of the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties).

(p) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(h) or anything else to the contrary contained herein, no settlement of any such Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of the existence or amount of Damages relating to such matter, except with the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Representative shall have objected within 30 days after written request for such consent by the Indemnified Party; provided that, for the sake of clarity, it is understood and agreed that the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders) will have the right to contest or dispute any such settlement entered into without the consent of the Representative on the basis that it was not reasonably entered into.

9.6 Contents of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim by an Indemnified Party given pursuant to Section 9.4 shall contain the following information: (a) that such Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly incurred or paid or, in good faith, believes it shall have to directly or indirectly incur or pay, Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount may be a good faith estimated amount or may be the amount of Damages claimed by a third party in a Third-Party Claim); and (b) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to such Indemnified Party), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, including, to the extent reasonably available to such Indemnified Party: (i) the identity and address of any third-party claimant, (ii) copies of any formal demand or complaint and (iii) the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related; provided, however, that the Notice of Claim may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party in good faith by delivering an updated or amended Notice of Claim to the Representative, so long as the delivery of the original Notice of Claim is made within the applicable claims period and such update or amendment only asserts bases for liability arising out of or resulting from the same facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Notice of Claim; provided, further, that all Claims for Damages properly set forth in the original Notice of Claim or any permitted update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Damages have been finally resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such claims period.

9.7 Resolution of Notice of Claim.

(e) Each Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Party shall be resolved as follows:

(i) Uncontested Claims. If, within 45 days after a Notice of Claim is received by the Representative, the Representative does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to the Indemnified Party as provided in Section 9.7(a)(ii), the Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties, to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of the full amount of Damages (subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9) specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article 9, including the forfeiture of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund, and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Parties for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(ii) Contested Claims. If the Representative gives the Indemnified Party written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”) within the 45-day period specified in Section 9.7(a)(i), then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (A) a written settlement agreement executed by Parent and the Representative (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Fund) or (B) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within 45 days following receipt by the Indemnified Party of the written notice from the Representative, by binding litigation between Parent and the Representative in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 9.7(b).

(f) Litigation of Contested Claims. Either Parent or the Representative may bring suit in the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States of America located within the State of Delaware to resolve a Contested Claim. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(g) Payment of Claims. If any amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to any Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section 9.7, then (i) within three Business Days following the date such amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, Parent and the Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to the Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund (to the extent of the Escrow Fund), it being understood that for purposes of this Section 9.7(c), any share of Parent Common Stock that is released to the Indemnified Party in satisfaction of an Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder shall be valued at the Average Trading Price, and (ii) if the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full amount that is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to such Indemnified Party, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.3, the Indemnified Party shall send notice to the Representative within 10 days following the date such amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, and each Indemnifying Party shall thereafter promptly pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such shortfall to such Indemnified Party.

9.8 Release of Remaining Escrow Fund. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Escrow Release Date (but not more than three Business Days therefrom), Parent and the Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent, subject to Section 9.9, to deliver to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to each Indemnifying Party, with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Person, an amount equal to (i) the Specified Fraction with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock, multiplied by (ii) all of funds in the Escrow Fund (if any) in excess of any amounts in the Escrow Fund that are reasonably necessary (such amount, the “Held Back Amount”) to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Representative before the Escrow Release Date, which amount shall be apportioned in accordance with Section 2.3. If any Claim is unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the Escrow Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of that portion of the Escrow Fund that equals the Held Back Amount to continue to serve as security for Damages then being claimed by the Indemnified Parties in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims, and as soon as all such Claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 9.9, deliver to each Indemnifying Party, with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Person, an amount equal to (A) the Specified Fraction with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock, multiplied by (B) all remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund (if any) that are not required to satisfy such Claims, which amount shall be apportioned in accordance with Section 2.3.

9.9 Payment Conditions. With respect to any amount to be released from the Escrow Fund or the Expense Fund Amount pursuant to Sections 9.8 or 9.13(c), any amounts to be paid to the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders pursuant to Sections 2.4(f) and Section 2.12(b):

(h) if any Indemnifying Party who held shares of Company Capital Stock has not executed and delivered a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and surrendered such Person’s Certificate(s) or affidavits of loss relating thereto, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.8 (the “Payment Conditions”) prior to the date on which any amount is to be distributed from the Escrow Fund or the Expense Fund Amount or to be paid to such Indemnifying Party, then any amount that would otherwise be released or paid to such Indemnifying Party shall be held by the Exchange Agent, without interest, until such Indemnifying Party satisfies all applicable Payment Conditions; and

(i) unless the Representative provides updated payment delivery instructions, each distribution to be made from the Escrow Fund or the Expense Fund Amount, and each payment to be made by Parent pursuant to Section 2.4(f) or Section 2.12(b), to a particular Indemnifying Party shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions set forth in such Person’s Letter of Transmittal.

9.10 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. All payments (if any) made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligations under this Article 9 will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.11 No Right of Contribution. No Indemnifying Party or the Representative acting on their behalf shall make any claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or contribution from Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate, assign or successor of any of the foregoing with respect to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement to the extent that the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Indemnified Party is determined to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder for such claim, it being acknowledged and agreed that the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company are solely for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties.

9.12 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for (i) claims in connection with fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach, other than pursuant to Section 9.2(i) (provided that any claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach, other than pursuant to Section 9.2(i), may be asserted solely against the Person who allegedly committed such fraud, intentional misrepresentation or knowing and willful breach), (ii) the right to specific performance or injunctive relief as contemplated by Section 11.5, or (iii) the right to pursue remedies under any agreement entered into by a Person in connection with this Agreement, the rights to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement provided by Section 9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Damages of any Indemnified Party with respect to any breach of this Agreement by the Company or with respect to any of the matters set forth in Section 9.2.

9.13 Appointment of Representative.

(a) By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, executing and delivering a Support Agreement or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, each Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have approved the designation of and hereby designates the Representative as the representative of the Indemnifying Parties and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Indemnifying Party with respect to Claims under this Article 9 and the taking by the Representative of any and all actions within the scope of this Section 9.13 and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Company Ancillary Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party) and/or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any Company Ancillary Agreement, or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Company Ancillary Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such Indemnifying Party individually), (ii) authorize the release or delivery to Parent of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of Claims by or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9 (including by not objecting to such Claims), (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to (A) Claims by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9 or (B) any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Indemnifying Party, in each case, relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Representative shall have authority and power to act on behalf of each Indemnifying Party with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all Claims under this Article 9 and all rights or obligations arising under this Article 9. The Indemnifying Parties shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Representative in connection with this Agreement, and Parent and the other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative. The Indemnifying Parties recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in this Section 9.13(a) and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Representative hereunder: (1) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable; (2) may be delegated by the Representative; and (3) shall survive the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy or winding up of each of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be binding on any successor thereto. Each Indemnifying Party (aa) agrees that all actions taken by the Representative within the scope of this Section 9.13(a) or under the Escrow Agreement shall be binding upon such Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Indemnifying Party and (bb) waives any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. Parent may conclusively rely, without independent verification or investigation, upon any action of the Representative as being the binding decision or action of the Indemnifying Parties, and Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnifying Party or any other Person for any actions taken or omitted from being taken by them or by Parent in accordance with or reliance upon any decision or action of the Representative. The Person serving as the Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund then on deposit with the Escrow Agent upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent. The Person serving as the Representative may resign at any time, in which case the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund then on deposit with the Escrow Agent shall, within 10 days after such resignation, appoint a successor Representative who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent. Neither the removal of the then acting Representative nor the appointment of a successor Representative shall be effective until the delivery to Parent of an acknowledgement signed by the successor Representative that he, she or it accepts the responsibility of successor the Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into or document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement applicable to the Representative. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Indemnifying Parties.

(b) Each Indemnifying Party hereby authorizes Parent to withhold the Expense Fund Amount from the amounts otherwise payable by Parent to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(g), with Parent to withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to each Indemnifying Party and deliver to the Representative an amount equal to each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the Expense Fund Amount. In no event shall the Representative be liable to any Indemnifying Party in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative. The Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expenses of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreements and the agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Expenses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, such Representative Expenses must be recovered by the Representative first from the Expense Fund Amount and, once the Expense Fund Amount is exhausted, then the Representative may seek recourse for Representative Expenses from (i) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as such amount remaining therein would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties, and (ii) from any Variable Payout Amount at such time as any such amount would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties; provided, that while this Section 9.13(b) allows the Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund Amount, the Escrow Fund and the Variable Payout Amount (if any), this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, any restrictions or limitations on indemnification contained elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative in this Section 9.13(b). The foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Upon the payment of the Expense Fund Amount by Parent or its designee to the segregated client bank account maintained by the Representative for the Expense Fund Amount pursuant to Section 2.5(c), each Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have contributed his, her or its Pro Rata Share of the Expense Fund Amount. The Representative shall hold the Expense Fund Amount in accordance with this Agreement on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties as a fund which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnifying Parties will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Representative’s responsibilities, the Representative will deliver the balance of the Expense Fund Amount to the Exchange Agent for further distribution (subject to Section 9.9) to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. For Tax purposes, the Expense Fund Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Indemnifying Parties at the time of Closing.

ARTICLE 10 TAX MATTERS

10.1 Tax Returns.

(n) The Company shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Acquired Companies that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension) on or before the Closing Date, and the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Acquired Companies due on or before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company with respect to such items, except as required by Law. At least 15 Business Days prior to filing any such Tax Return that is an income Tax Return, the Company shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and comment, and the Company shall consider such comments submitted in writing to the Company within 10 days after the Company has provided a copy of such Tax Return to Parent in good faith. To the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall provide Parent with the supporting works papers relating to such Tax Return.

(o) Subject to Section 10.5 and Section 10.7, following the Closing Date, Parent shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. At least 15 Business Days prior to filing any such income Tax Return, and as soon as practical with respect to any other Tax Return, Parent shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to the Representative for the Representative’s review and comment, and Parent shall consider such comments submitted in writing to Parent within 10 days after Parent has provided a copy of such Tax Return to the Representative in good faith. To the extent requested by the Representative, Parent shall provide the Representative with the supporting works papers relating to such Tax Return. In addition, to the extent any such Tax Return is not prepared consistent with the past practices of the Company, except as required by Law, Parent shall make changes to such Tax Return reasonably requested by the Representative. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return described in this Section 10.1(b) is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the Parent deems correct, without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties and the Company Securityholders under this Agreement.

(p) From and after 10 days prior to the due date of the payment of Taxes on any Tax Returns which Parent has the responsibility to cause to be filed pursuant to Section 10.1(b), without duplication of, or prejudice to, the Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9.2, Parent shall be entitled to make a claim for withdrawal from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Article 9 for an amount equal to the amount of Indemnified Taxes actually shown on such Tax Returns.

10.2 Cooperation. Parent and the Representative agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Parent, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Parent, the Company and the Representative shall retain all books and records in their possession with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, including Section 9.5(b), in no event shall the Representative be entitled to review or otherwise have access to any income Tax Return, or information related thereto, of Parent or its Affiliates (other than income Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods).

10.3 Tax Audits.

(f) If notice of any Action with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by any party for which any other party may reasonably be expected to be liable, the notified party shall notify such other party or parties in writing of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the notified party to give any other party notice as provided herein shall not relieve such other party of its indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligations under Article 9 or this Article 10 except to the extent that such other party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Tax Claims shall be considered Third-Party Claims for purposes of Article 9. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent that a provision of this Section 10.3 directly conflicts with any provision of Article 9, this Section 10.3 shall govern.

(g) Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Claim of any Acquired Company. To the extent a Tax Claim relates to Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Parent shall (i) keep the Representative informed of all developments on a timely basis, (ii) provide to the Representative copies of any and all material correspondence from any Governmental Authority related to such Tax Claim, (iii) provide the Representative with the opportunity to attend conferences with the relevant Governmental Authority (if reasonably practical) and to review and provide comments with respect to written responses provided to the relevant Governmental Authority and (iv) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim which relates to or may reasonably give rise to any Indemnified Taxes without the prior written consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.4 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, VAT and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by the Company Stockholders. The Representative and the Company Stockholders agree to file or cause to be filed in a timely manner all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts for which the Company Stockholders are so liable. The Representative shall provide Parent with evidence satisfactory to Parent that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Company Stockholders.

10.1 Transaction Expenses. Any deductions attributable to the payment of Transaction Fees or in connection with the retirement of Debt of the Acquired Companies as contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation deductions from the cancellation of Company Options, shall to the maximum extent allowed by Law and for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, be treated as accrued on the Closing Date and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall elect on each of the Surviving Corporation’s Tax Returns for the year including the Closing Date under IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 to deduct seventy percent (70%) of any eligible Transaction Fees that are success-based fees within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.263(a)-5(f).

10.2 Tax Refunds. Any Tax refund (including any Specified Tax Refund) that is received by Parent or any Acquired Company after the Closing Date or that is credited against any Tax to which Parent or any Acquired Company becomes entitled, in each case that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the account of the Company Stockholders and Indemnifying Optionholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), and Parent shall pay over to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Company Stockholders and Indemnifying Optionholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) any such refund, without interest, net of reasonable third-party costs, expenses and Taxes incurred by Parent or any Acquired Company in connection with obtaining or in connection with the receipt or accrual of such refund within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay over to the Exchange Agent Tax refunds or amounts credited against Taxes if such Tax refunds or amounts credited against Taxes are (a) included in the calculation of, and increased the value of, the Closing Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.4, or have previously been taken into account in the determination of Indemnified Taxes or (b) attributable to a carry-back of net operating losses or other Tax attributes from any taxable period (or portion of any Straddle Period) beginning after the Closing Date. Parent and the Acquired Companies shall cooperate in good faith with the Representative to diligently apply for the Specified Tax Refunds with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, including through filing necessary amended Tax Returns in accordance with applicable Law.

10.3 Close of Tax Year. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of the Acquired Companies (including the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) shall take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that may prevent the tax year of the Company from ending, for U.S. federal and applicable state, local and foreign income Tax purposes, at the end of the day on the Closing Date.

10.4 Post-Closing Tax Action. Unless required by applicable Law, Parent and the Acquired Companies shall not amend any Tax Return of any of the Acquired Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, initiate discussions or examinations with Governmental Authorities regarding Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, waive the carryback of any net operating losses generated in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income from a Tax period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or shifts deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a Tax period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, or otherwise take any actions outside the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Representative, to the extent any such action, initiation of discussions or examinations, voluntary disclosure, change in accounting method or adoption of any convention would give rise to an indemnification obligation under Article 9.

ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of its conflicts of law principles. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of any of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including resolution of disputes under Section 9.7(b)), and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware; provided that a judgment rendered by such court may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.8 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in the State of Delaware.

11.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Parent, including any successor to, or assignee of, all or substantially all of the business and assets of Parent. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means), each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

11.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by Law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereby agree to (i) not raise any objection to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance and (ii) waive any requirements for posting a bond in connection with any such action.

11.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by a writing signed by Parent, the Company and the Representative. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto as provided in this Section 11.6 at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders, but, after such adoption, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires the further approval of the Company Stockholders without obtaining such further approval. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in any of the representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for its benefit contained herein. No such waiver or extension shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver or extension is asserted. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

11.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Merger is successfully consummated, each party shall bear its respective legal, accountants, and financial advisory fees and other expenses incurred with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, it being the intention of the parties that if the Merger is consummated, the Transaction Fees be taken into account in calculating the Adjusted Transaction Value as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of any filing fee required under the HSR Act.

11.8 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered in person, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic mail, sent by certified or registered first-class mail, postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service.

11.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereto certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented to it, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (b) each such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) each such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) each such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the waivers and certifications in this Section 11.9.

11.10 Interpretation; Rules of Construction; Miscellaneous.

(a) The terms “hereof,” “herein” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole (including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), and when a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, Schedules, Sections or Articles, such reference shall be to an Exhibit or Schedule to, Section or Article of this Agreement, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “asset” or “property” shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all assets and properties, real and personal, tangible and intangible. When a reference is made to a specific Law, act or statute, such reference shall include any regulations promulgated thereunder. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, or statute, in each case, as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented (in the case of agreements or instruments, if permitted under this Agreement), including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession or comparable successor statutes. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The terms defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include plural as well as the singular. Accounting terms not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to them in accordance with GAAP. Pronouns of either gender or neuter shall include, as appropriate, the other pronoun forms. Unless stated otherwise, the terms “dollars” and “$” shall mean United States dollars. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any dollar amounts or thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a determinative benchmark for establishing what is or is not “material” or a “Material Adverse Effect” or a “Material Adverse Change” or a “Parent Material Adverse Effect” (or words of similar import) under this Agreement.

(b) Article 7 shall be subject to the agreement set forth in Schedule 11.10(b).

(c) When used in this Agreement, (i) “knowing and willful breach” shall mean a knowing and willful breach of a covenant, and (ii) “fraud” shall mean common law fraud.

None of the provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, employee, Affiliate, stockholder, partner or any party hereto or any other Person unless specifically provided otherwise herein and, except as so provided (but without prejudice to the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Parties contained in this Agreement), all provisions hereof shall be personal solely between the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) Section 6.4 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties and (b) Article 9 is intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties.

11.12 Public Announcement. Parent may issue such press releases, and make such other disclosures regarding the Merger, as it determines are required under applicable securities Laws or regulatory or stock exchange rules or as it deems otherwise appropriate. The Company shall not make any public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without Parent’s prior written consent.

11.13 Confidentiality.

(a) The Company and Parent hereby amend the Confidentiality Agreement by adding a new Section 9 thereto, which section shall read as follows:

“9.    This Agreement shall expire on the earlier of (a) the closing of the merger contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger among Vonage Holdings Corp., Neptune Acquisition Corp., Nexmo Inc., and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the Representative, dated as of May 5, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”) and (b) one year from the date of the Merger Agreement, provided that the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations of the Receiving Party shall survive the expiration of this Agreement, and provided, further, that such expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for breach of this Agreement occurring before such expiration.”

(b) From and after the Closing, the restrictions on the use and disclosure of Proprietary Information (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement shall not apply to Parent or its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) with respect to any information relating to the Company Business.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or any Company Ancillary Agreement, after the Closing: (i) all Proprietary Information included in the Company Intellectual Property Rights or embodied in the Company Technology and Company Intellectual Property Rights that are not owned by a third Person shall be the confidential information of Parent (and not of the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates) for purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement, regardless of whether such Proprietary Information or Technology were identified or otherwise designated as “confidential,” and (ii) Parent shall be considered the “Disclosing Party” under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Acquired Companies and any of their Affiliates who have had access to Proprietary Information included in the Company Intellectual Property Rights or embodied in the Company Technology or Company Intellectual Property Rights that are not owned by a third Person shall be considered the “Receiving Party” under the Confidentiality Agreement. The Acquired Companies and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, representatives and Affiliates who have had or will have access to such Proprietary Information or Technology shall be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to such Proprietary Information or Technology.

(d) The parties thereto agree to continue to abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, as amended pursuant to this Section 11.13. The Representative agrees to hold this Agreement and each document contemplated hereby in confidence and not disclose the terms hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to any third party (other than as required by law, to its advisors and representatives, or to the Indemnifying Parties).

11.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Company Ancillary Agreements, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Ancillary Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Merger Sub Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto or thereto. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

11.15 No Additional Representations. Parent acknowledges that (a) none of the Acquired Companies nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Acquired Companies, the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Acquired Companies furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub and their representatives, or any other matter related to the transactions contemplated herein, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, (b) Parent and Merger Sub have not relied on any representation or warranty from the Acquired Companies or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, (c) none of the Acquired Companies or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to Parent or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent, or Parent’s use of, any information, documents or material made available to Parent or conveyed in any management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such information is set forth in Article III, and (d) none of the Acquired Companies or any other Person shall have any liability to Parent or any other Person with respect to any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of future revenue, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations, future cash flows or the future financial condition of the Acquired Companies or the future business, operations or affairs of the Acquired Companies, except to the extent such information is set forth in Article III; provided, however, that subject to the terms of Article 9, the foregoing shall not apply to any claim for fraud, knowing and willful breach or intentional misrepresentation.

11.16 Attorney-Client Privilege.

(j) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxx Procter LLP (“Xxxxxxx”) has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of Xxxxxxx and the Company, Representative and/or any of the Indemnifying Parties (collectively, the “Seller Parties”), or any of their respective directors, officers employees or other representatives that relate to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or, beginning on the Agreement Date, any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”), shall be deemed to be retained by the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by the Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties and shall not be claimed by Parent or its Affiliates (including Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation) (collectively, the “Parent Parties”). All Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Representative and the Indemnifying Parties, shall be controlled by the Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties and, except as provided below, shall not be claimed by Parent Parties.

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Parent Parties, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Seller Parties, on the other hand, Parent may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Communications to such third party or waive such privilege if desired in connection with resolving such dispute. In the event that Parent is legally required or requested by governmental order or otherwise (any such request or order, a “Legal Request”) to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, Parent shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Privileged Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such Legal Request. In the event of any Legal Request, Parent shall promptly notify the Representative in writing (prior to the disclosure by Parent of any Privileged Communications to the extent practicable) so that the Representative can seek a protective order and Parent agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts (at the sole cost and expense of the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties)) to assist therewith.
