ARTICLE 4

ADJUSTMENTS TO MERGER CONSIDERATION

4.1 Adjustments to Merger Consideration.

(a) At Closing, the Parent shall issue a certificate for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock representing thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Merger Consideration (the “Escrowed Shares”) in the name of the SuckerPunch Shareholder and shall place such certificate into escrow with the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that Gross Profit attributable to the Business for the fiscal year 2017 (“2017 Gross Profit”) is less than $265,000 (the “2017 Gross Profit Threshold”), the Escrowed Shares will be cancelled and any amounts held as dividend payments on such shares will be delivered to the SuckerPunch Shareholder within five (5) Business Days. In the event that 2017 Gross Profit is equal to or greater than the 2017 Gross Profit Threshold, the Escrowed Shares (and any amounts held as dividend payments on such shares) will be delivered to the SuckerPunch Shareholder within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the 2017 Gross Profit. For purposes of determining the number of Escrowed Shares, each share of Parent Company Stock shall be valued at the Share Price. The parties shall promptly execute joint written instructions and deliver same to the Escrow Agent instructing it to deliver the Escrowed Shares in the manner described in this paragraph.

While the Escrowed Shares are held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (i) any dividends paid on the Parent Company Stock shall be paid pro rata on the Escrowed Shares and the amount of any such dividends shall be held by the Escrow Agent and disbursed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) the SuckerPunch Shareholder shall possess all voting rights with respect to the Escrowed Shares. The Escrowed Shares are intended to be afforded tax-deferred treatment under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code in accordance with Rev. Proc 84-42 and, therefore, shall be administered consistent and in accordance therewith.

(b) “Gross Profit” shall be equal to the total revenue attributable to the Business minus the cost of revenue attributable to the Business (including allocations of overhead) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistently applied, it being understood that all compensation paid to the SuckerPunch Shareholder and Hamper pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements attached hereto as Exhibits E-1 and E-2, respectively, will be deemed an expense of the Business and shall be included in cost of revenue for purposes of making such determination. 2017 Gross Profit will be determined by Parent and confirmed by the Parent’s independent auditors at least thirty (30) days prior to the date by which Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 must be filed with the Commission. Parent will deliver written notice of its determination of 2017 Gross Profit (which will describe the calculation thereof in reasonable detail) (the “Parent Gross Profit Notice”) to the SuckerPunch Shareholder promptly after it is confirmed by its auditors. In the event that the SuckerPunch Shareholder wishes to object to the Parent Gross Profit Notice, he must submit written notice of his objections (describing such objections in reasonable detail) to Parent and Parent’s independent auditors within thirty (30) days after the SuckerPunch Shareholder’s receipt of the Parent Gross Profit Notice; in the event that the SuckerPunch Shareholder does not object to such determination within such thirty-day period, such determination shall be deemed final and conclusive. If the SuckerPunch Shareholder delivers a timely objection to the Parent Gross Profit Notice, and the parties fail to reach agreement on the amount of 2017 Gross Profit within five (5) Business Days thereafter, the parties shall jointly select an independent PCAOB accounting firm to make such determination within a period not exceeding thirty (30) days, and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties. In the event that the amount of 2017 Gross Profit as determined by the independent accounting firm exceeds the amount set forth in the Target Gross Profit Notice by more than 5%, the fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm will be borne by Parent; where the difference is equal to or less than 5%, the fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm will be borne by the SuckerPunch Shareholder.

(c) To the extent 2017 Gross Profit exceeds the 2017 Gross Profit Threshold, in addition to the delivery of the Escrowed Shares (and any dividends declared thereon) to the SuckerPunch Shareholder, the Merger Consideration will be adjusted upward proportionately such that each additional one dollar ($1) of Gross Profit in excess of the 2017 Gross Profit Threshold will increase the Merger Consideration by seven dollars ($7) (such increase, the “Earn Out”). The Earn Out will be paid to the SuckerPunch Shareholder in shares of Parent Common Stock valued at the trailing 20-day average closing price for the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ as of the date on which Parent files its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 with the Commission.

(d) Within 15 calendar days following the last day of each of the first three calendar quarters occurring during fiscal year 2017, Parent will provide a calculation of Gross Profit for such quarter, and will provide supporting documentation as reasonably requested by the SuckerPunch Shareholder as promptly as reasonably practicable following any such request; provided, however, that the SuckerPunch Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that such quarterly calculations of Gross Profit are preliminary estimates only and are subject to certain year-end and other adjustments that will be made when 2017 Gross Profit is calculated. The SuckerPunch Shareholder and his accountants and other representatives shall be permitted access on reasonable notice during regular business hours (including for the purposes of copying) to review the books and records and work papers related to the determination of 2017 Gross Profit.

(e) Cancellation of any Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and any increases pursuant to Section 4.1(c) shall be deemed adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

(f) The Merger Consideration shall be increased by the Closing Cash Balance, if any. Any such increase shall be paid by Parent in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the SuckerPunch Shareholder within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(g) The Merger Consideration shall be increased by any accounts receivable of SuckerPunch existing as of the Closing Date that are collected by SuckerPunch, Acquisition Co. or Parent following the Closing. The foregoing accounts receivable shall include, but not be limited to, all amounts due from Alienware for services rendered or events held prior to the Closing. SuckerPunch shall remit, and Parent shall cause SuckerPunch to remit, to the SuckerPunch Shareholder all collected accounts receivable within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such funds.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification by SuckerPunch Shareholder. The SuckerPunch Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Parent, Acquisition Co. and each of their officers, directors employees and agents harmless from and against any Losses (defined below) resulting from the breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by SuckerPunch or the SuckerPunch Shareholder in this Agreement or in any of the Other Agreements.

10.2 Indemnification by Parent. Parent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the SuckerPunch Shareholder harmless from and against any Losses resulting from any breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Parent or Acquisition Co. in this Agreement or in any of the Other Agreements.

10.3 Indemnification Procedure for Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses.

(b) The Indemnified Person shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to discuss matters with the Indemnifying Person related to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.3(a) of this Agreement, but the Indemnified Person shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.3(a) above, all decisions of the Indemnifying Person shall be final and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in all respects in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including refraining from taking any position adverse to the Indemnifying Person.

(c) If the Indemnifying Person fails to give notice of the assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall no longer be entitled to assume (but shall continue to be entitled to participate in) such defense. The Indemnified Person may, at its option, continue to defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (provided it is a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Person is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in the defense of any Third-Party Claim the defense of which it does not assume. Prior to effectuating any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any proposed settlement in sufficient time to allow the Indemnifying Person to act thereon. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to effect such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person (a) reimburses the Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Article 10 for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Claim; (b) assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and (c) takes such other actions as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request as assurance of the Indemnifying Person’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Article 10 in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

10.4 Indemnification Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification which is not a Third-Party Claim subject to Section 10.3 (a “Claim”) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and, if then known, the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party or the method of computation of the amount of such claim of any Losses, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, (B) agree in a “Counter Notice” that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount, or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount including the reasons therefor. If the Indemnifying Party in the Counter Notice or otherwise contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.17.

10.5 Losses.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean all actual liabilities, losses, costs, damages, penalties, assessments, demands, claims, causes of action, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs; provided, however, that Losses shall include punitive, indirect, consequential or similar damages only for claims brought, and damages recovered, by third parties.

(b) Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(c) The Indemnified Person agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from any and all third parties who are obligated respecting a Loss (e.g. parties to indemnification agreements, insurance companies, etc.) (“Collateral Sources”) respecting any Claim pursuant to which the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment from a Collateral Source is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Person under this Article 10, the Indemnified Person shall repay to the Indemnifying Person, promptly after such receipt from Collateral Source, any amount that the Indemnifying Person would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 10 had such receipt from the Collateral Source occurred at the time of such payment.

(d) Each Indemnified Person shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim for Losses that an Indemnified Person asserts under this Article 10.

(e) The amount of any and all Losses (and other indemnification payments) under this Agreement shall be decreased by (A) any Tax benefits in excess of Tax detriments actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Person related to the Loss, including deductibility of any such Losses (or other items giving rise to such indemnification payment), and (B) the amount of any insurance proceeds or other amounts recoverable from Collateral Sources (netted against deductibles and other costs associated with making or pursuing any such claims, as applicable), received or to be received by the applicable Indemnified Person with respect to such Losses under any insurance policy maintained by the Indemnified Person or any other Person or from any other Collateral Source. The Indemnified Person will assign to the Indemnifying Person any rights or contribution or subrogation the Indemnified Person may have against or respecting any Collateral Source or other Persons related to such Loss which is indemnified by the Indemnifying Person hereunder.

10.6 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (a) neither the SuckerPunch Shareholder nor Parent shall be required to indemnify any party hereunder for their breach of any representation or warranty unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses arising from such types of breach shall exceed $50,000.00; and (b) the SuckerPunch Shareholder shall not be liable to provide indemnification hereunder in an aggregate amount in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the value of the Merger Consideration received by the SuckerPunch Shareholder.

10.7 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except with respect to (a) the covenants of the parties hereto which are intended to survive the Closing, (b) SuckerPunch’s and the SuckerPunch Shareholder’s representations provided for in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.7, 5.8, 5.11, 5.12, 5.14, 5.25 and 5.26,, which survive indefinitely, and (c) Parent and Acquisition Co.’s representations provided for in Section 6.2, 6.5, 6.8 and 6.9 which survive indefinitely, the representations and warranties of each of the parties hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months.

10.8 Exclusive Remedies. Each of Parent, SuckerPunch and the SuckerPunch Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification set forth in this Article 10, and such party shall have no other remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article 10; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to claims seeking specific performance or other available equitable relief.

12.13 Schedules. Parent, SuckerPunch and the SuckerPunch Shareholder agree that any disclosure in any schedule attached hereto shall (a) constitute a disclosure only under such specific schedule and shall not constitute a disclosure under any other schedule referred to herein unless a specific cross-reference to another schedule is provided or such disclosure is otherwise clear from the context of the disclosure in such schedule and (b) not establish any threshold of materiality.

12.14 Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement, it being understood that each of Parent, SuckerPunch and the SuckerPunch Shareholder actively participated in the drafting hereof. Words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other gender as the context requires.

12.15 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of Parent, SuckerPunch and the SuckerPunch Shareholder (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or any other federal or state court in the State of Delaware if it is determined that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over such action) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such court, and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of the other party with respect thereto. Either party may make service on the other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.12. Nothing in this Section 12.15, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

12.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

12.17 Conflicts and Privilege. The Parties acknowledge that SuckerPunch has retained Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx”) to act as counsel for SuckerPunch in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and Acquisition Co. each hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Parent (or SuckerPunch) and the SuckerPunch Shareholder, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx may represent the SuckerPunch Shareholder in such dispute even though the interests of the SuckerPunch Shareholder may be directly adverse to Parent or SuckerPunch, and even though Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx may have represented SuckerPunch in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for Parent or SuckerPunch. Parent and Acquisition Co. each further agrees that, as to all communications among Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and (prior to the Closing) SuckerPunch or (at any time before or after the Closing) the SuckerPunch Shareholder that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the exception of client confidence belongs solely to the SuckerPunch Shareholder and may be controlled only by the SuckerPunch Shareholder and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or SuckerPunch, because the interests of Parent and its Affiliates were directly adverse to SuckerPunch or the SuckerPunch Shareholder at the time such communications were made. This right to the attorney-client privilege shall exist even if such communications may exist on SuckerPunch’s computer system or in documents in SuckerPunch’s possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, SuckerPunch, and a Person other than a Party to this Agreement after the Closing, Parent and SuckerPunch may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third-party of confidential communications made prior to the Closing by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx to SuckerPunch; provided, however, that SuckerPunch may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the SuckerPunch Shareholder.
