(B) On the tenth (10th) day following Purchaser’s delivery of the Gross Revenue Statement to the Sellers, the Gross Revenue Statement shall be deemed to be the “Final Gross Revenue Statement” (and shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be final and binding on the parties, including with respect to the calculation of the Gross Revenue thereon) unless, prior to such date, the Sellers shall have delivered to Purchaser a notice describing in reasonable detail its objections to the Gross Revenue Statement (including such reasonable detail (to the extent then known to the Sellers) regarding the items in dispute and a statement of the amount of each adjustment that the Sellers believe should be made to the Gross Revenue Statement).

(iii) Operating Procedures of the Company.

(A) Generally. Purchaser and the Sellers recognize that decisions made in the management of the Business by Purchaser after the Closing may affect the Earnout Payment. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that after the Closing, Purchaser will manage the Business with a view to maximizing the long-term value of Purchaser taken as a whole with its subsidiaries as determined by Purchaser and not to maximize the Earnout Payment during the Earnout Period. Neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, employees, directors or shareholders or other Affiliates will owe any duty to any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller to manage Purchaser (including its subsidiaries), the Company or the Business in such a way as to maximize the Earnout Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Earnout Period, (a) Purchaser shall manage the ongoing business in good faith and shall not intentionally take any action or fail to take any action primarily for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Earnout Payment, (b) the Company shall operate the Business independently from Purchaser’s other businesses and subsidiaries and (c) subject to the principles in the other sentences of this Section 2.3(b)(iii) and Purchaser’s right to manage the Company and the Business accordingly, Purchaser shall use its good faith efforts to manage the Company and the Business substantially in the same manner as they were managed prior to the Closing (and, to the extent any Seller is then an officer of the Company, permit such Seller(s) to do the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(b)(iii), the parties agree that Purchaser’s consideration of and decisions made in light of normal business consideration factors, such as profit margins, costs of marketing and sales activities, commercial feasibility, market and technology developments, market acceptance, business opportunities, company resources, competition and competitive advantages and disadvantages, and economic conditions, shall constitute management of the Business by Purchaser in good faith

(B) Internal Restructuring; Acquisitions or Sales. For purposes of clarification, it is the intent of the parties that the economic benefits of this Section 2.3 shall not be modified or decreased if, in the future, there is an internal ownership, organizational or operational change within Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, if any business or entity is acquired by Purchaser following the Closing, any current business or Affiliate of Purchaser is combined with the Company, any Affiliate of Purchaser makes use of Company Technology, or the Purchaser otherwise restructures the Business or the Company) that changes the actual entities that conduct the Business of the Company after the Closing.

(C) Certain Acknowledgements. Sellers agree and acknowledge that the right to receive the Earnout Payments, if any, pursuant to this Agreement: (1) is an integral part of the total consideration for the Shares and not an investment; (2) does not represent an ownership interest in Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates (including the Company after Closing); (3) does not carry voting, dividend or liquidation rights; and (4) is not represented by any form of certificate or instrument.

(i) Purchaser shall serve as the exchange agent and paying agent to effect the payment and exchange of the Merger Consideration. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver (i) to the Sellers, stock certificates representing the Merger Consideration as set forth in Schedule 2.3(a)(i) and Schedule 2.3(a)(ii) (such schedules may be updated by the parties on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall send a notice and a transmittal form to each Seller advising such Seller of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Purchaser such Certificate in exchange for the payment of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Section 2.3. Each Seller, upon proper surrender thereof to Purchaser in accordance with the instructions in such notice, shall be entitled to receive as payment therefor (subject to any taxes required to be withheld) the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares, as provided in Section 1.8 below. Until properly surrendered, each such Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.3.

(ii) 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, Purchaser shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3.

(iii) No dividends or other distributions that are payable to the holders of record of Purchaser Common Stock as of a date on or after the Closing Date shall be paid to former holders of capital stock of the Company entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Merger Consideration until such holders surrender their Certificates for certificates representing the Merger Consideration. Upon such surrender, Purchaser shall pay or deliver to the persons in whose name the certificates representing such Merger Consideration are issued any dividends or other distributions that are payable to the holders of record of Purchaser Common Stock as of a date on or after the Closing Date and which were paid or delivered between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender; provided that no such person shall be entitled to receive any interest on such dividends or other distributions.

2.4 Effective Time of the Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties hereto shall (a) cause a certificate of merger in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (b) take all such other and further actions as may be required by the DGCL or other applicable Law to make the Merger effective.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.6 Options. The Company shall provide holders of Options reasonable notice of their right to exercise the outstanding options to purchase Shares (“Options”) and the effect of failing to exercise the Options under this Agreement. Each outstanding Option granted under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan or any other plan will, at the Effective Time, to the extent not exercised prior to the Effective Time, be terminated and cancelled with no payment due thereon and shall be of no further force and effect.

2.7 Effects of the Merger. Subject to the foregoing, the effects of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

(d) Following the Closing, the Surviving Entity will be permitted to exercise all of the rights under the Company IP Rights to the same extent the Company would have been able to had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred. All Company IP Rights are, and immediately after the Closing Date, will be, fully transferable, alienable or licensable by the Surviving Entity to the same extent as they would be transferable, alienable or licensable by the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date, without any restrictions (other than those restrictions set forth in any of the Contracts listed in Section 3.11(b)(xiv) of the Schedule of Exceptions or otherwise identified in Section 3.10(d) of the Schedule of Exceptions), and without payment of any kind to any Person (other than payments which would have been due from Company, notwithstanding the closing of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and which are obligations under one or more of the Contracts listed in Section 3.11(b)(xiv) of the Schedule of Exceptions), except as a result of any independent agreements or obligations of Purchaser.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until a date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, provided, however, that (a) such time limitation shall not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2, 4.1 and 4.3 (the “Fundamental Representations”) (such representations and warranties to survive until the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations) and (b) [reserved]. After the end of the relevant survival period specified above, the applicable Sellers’ obligations under this Article XI with respect to such representations and warranties shall expire, terminate and shall be of no further force and effect unless a claim for indemnification is made hereunder prior to the expiration of the relevant survival period in which case such claim shall continue in effect until final resolution of such claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the Sellers and the Company (but not representations and warranties) under this Agreement shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

11.2 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions for indemnification contained in Sections 11.1, 11.3 and 11.7, the Sellers, excluding G&D, (each, an “Indemnitor”), shall severally (based on their Pro Rata Share) and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents, and their heirs and successors (each, an “Indemnitee”), against Losses, up to an amount equal to seventy-seven percent (77%) of such Losses with respect to any individual claim or aggregation of claims, relating to or arising out of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Seller in this Agreement in Article III;

(b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any Seller in Article IV;

(d) any Pre-Closing Taxes.

11.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) no claim may be made by any Indemnitee(s) for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Indemnitee(s) seeks to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2(a) exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time the Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses (including all Losses included within the Threshold Amount); provided, that the Sellers shall not have any liability relating to an individual claim (or a series of related or similar claims) resulting in Losses in the amount of $5,000 or less (a “De Minimis Claim”), regardless of whether or not aggregate Losses as of the time of such claim have exceeded the Threshold Amount.

(b) except for any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum aggregate indemnification obligation of each Seller for money damages pursuant to Section 11.2(a), other than with respect to a claim for indemnification arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representations, shall be limited to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Total Consideration;

(c) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum aggregate indemnification obligation of each Seller for money damages pursuant to Article XI shall be limited in the aggregate to the consideration actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and

(d) no Seller shall be liable or have any indemnification obligation for the breach of any representations or warranty made by any other Seller in Article IV of this Agreement, the breach of any covenant of any other Seller in this Agreement or for the actions or inaction of any other Seller in connection with this Agreement.

(e) for the avoidance of doubt, each Indemnitor shall only be responsible (based on their Pro Rata Share) for an amount up to seventy-seven percent (77%) of their Pro Rata Share of Losses with respect to any claim or claims for indemnification by Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XI.

11.4 Procedures for Making Claims. If and when an Indemnitee desires to assert a claim for Losses against any Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor a certificate signed by such Indemnitee (if the Indemnitee is an entity, the certificate shall be signed by its chief executive officer) (a “Notice of Claim”), which Notice of Claim shall: (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or accrued (or intends or expects to pay or accrue) Losses to which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI and the amount thereof (to the extent then known); and (ii) specifying to the extent possible (A) the individual items of Losses in the certificate, (B) the date each such item was or is expected to be paid or accrued, to the extent known, and (C) the basis upon which Losses are claimed (including the specific clause of this Agreement pursuant to which such indemnification is being sought. Such Notice of Claim shall be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period as set forth in Section 11.1. If the Indemnitor shall object to such Notice of Claim, the Indemnitor shall deliver written notice of objection (the “Notice of Objection”) to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Claim. The Notice of Objection shall set forth the grounds upon which the objection is based and state whether the Indemnitor objects to all or only a portion of the matter described in the Notice of Claim. The Losses set forth in the Notice of Claim shall be payable to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) Business Days of the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period without the necessity of further action to the extent the Indemnitor has not delivered a Notice of Objection. If the Indemnitor shall timely deliver a Notice of Objection, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of such Persons with respect to the claim in the Notice of Claim. If an agreement on the amount of Losses is reached, then the Losses set forth in the Notice of Claim shall be payable to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of such agreement. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days, either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may demand arbitration of the matter (such arbitration to be conducted by JAMS in New York City) (unless the matter is at issue in a pending third party claim, in which case arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both persons agree to arbitration), and the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee. In the event that within ten (10) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall each select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The arbitrator(s) shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim for indemnification for Losses (a “Resolved Amount”) shall be binding and conclusive upon the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee. Such decision shall be delivered in writing and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

11.5 Defense Procedure for Third Party Claims. If any claim, demand or Liability that could constitute indemnifiable Losses hereunder is asserted by any third party against any Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall promptly provide the Indemnitor with a Notice of Claim with respect to such third-party claim. The Indemnitor shall, upon the written request of the Indemnitee, have the right to defend any actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnitee in respect of matters embraced by the indemnity provided under this Article XI, but the Indemnitee shall have the right to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of any such claim, demand or Liability if the Indemnitee chooses to do so, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor who shall be bound by the result so obtained to the extent provided herein; provided, that Indemnitee may not compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitor; provided, further, that if the Indemnitor is not allowed to control the defense, they may provide advice or participate in the defense of any third party claim through counsel of its choosing, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. If, after a request to defend any action or proceeding, the Indemnitor neglects to defend the Indemnitee, a recovery against the latter suffered by it in good faith, is conclusive in its favor against the Indemnitor, provided, however, that, if the Indemnitor did not receive reasonable notice of the action or proceeding against the Indemnitee, or is not allowed to control the defense, judgment against the Indemnitee is only presumptive evidence against the Indemnitor that any resulting Losses constitute an indemnifiable claim under this Article XI. The parties shall cooperate in the defense of all third party claims that may give rise to indemnifiable claims hereunder. In connection with the defense of any claim, each party shall make available to the party controlling such defense, any books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably requested in the course of such defense. Except with the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no settlement of any such claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter, but shall only be presumptive evidence of the amount of Losses constituting such indemnifiable claim. In the event that the Indemnitor has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnitor shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article XI to the existence and amount of any claim by the Indemnitee with respect to such settlement. Indemnification payments with respect to third party claims shall be paid by the Indemnitor upon (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnitee and the expiration of any applicable appeal period; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnitee; or (iii) a settlement of such claim, in each case subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 11.4.

11.6 Right of Setoff. If there is determined to be any indemnifiable Losses (whether by agreement, failure to object or decision of arbitrator(s)) (“Determined Losses”) payable to an Indemnitee or if there is otherwise determined to be any amount owing to any Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to retain as an offset, without any further action by any Indemnitor or Purchaser, if and as applicable, a portion (up to all) of any Earnout Payment equal to such Determined Losses and in satisfaction thereof to the extent of such offset, and such offset shall be deemed to occur automatically such as to reduce, as applicable, the applicable payments otherwise payable by Purchaser. In addition, if a Indemnitee has made a claim for Losses that has not yet been resolved (including in connection with a third party claim), Purchaser shall be entitled to hold back from any payments that would otherwise be due as part of the Earnout Payment the full amount of such claim until resolution and determination thereof.

11.7 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) In the event the Closing occurs, subject to Section 12.11, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser or any other Indemnitee for Losses for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or for any breach of any covenant or obligation by the Company or any of the Sellers shall be indemnification pursuant to this Article XI; provided, however, this exclusive remedy does not preclude (i) a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements or (ii) a party from pursuing remedies under applicable Law for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, provided that the maximum indemnification obligation of any Seller for fraud of another party shall be limited to the total consideration received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

11.8 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payments made pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for all income Tax purposes and none of the parties shall take a contrary position with respect to any Tax Return, audit or other proceeding.

11.9 Insurance Proceeds. Any amount of Losses payable hereunder will be reduced (including retroactively) by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in relation to such Losses. If an Indemnitee will have received, any amount as a result of a claim for Losses hereunder (an “Indemnification Payment”), and an Indemnitee subsequently recovers insurance proceeds in respect of such Losses, then such Indemnitee will promptly pay to the Indemnitor the amount of such insurance proceeds in respect of such Losses, or, if less the amount of the Indemnification Payment. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under its applicable third party insurance policies, provided, that nothing in this sentence shall obligate an Indemnitee to seek recovery of insurance proceeds prior to pursuing indemnification pursuant to this Article XI. If an Indemnitee receives any insurance proceeds after having recovered amounts in respect of the related Losses from an Indemnitor, it shall promptly pay such recovered amounts to the Indemnitor (net of the amount of any collection costs or retrospective premium adjustments). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnitee be obligated to institute any action against any third party to seek recovery of indemnifiable damages.
