Each share of Parent Common Stock issuable in the First Merger, or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall be book-entry security entitlements.
(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing Per Share Amount payable in respect of the shares of a particular series of Company Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1.7(a)(i) is less than the Per Share Liquidation Preference for such series (with the shares of Parent Common Stock valued at the Parent Common Stock Closing Price for purposes of this Section 1.7(a)(ii)), then the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable with respect to each such share of Company Preferred Stock will be an amount equal to the Per Share Liquidation Preference applicable to such share of Company Preferred Stock, and the payments to the other Company Securityholders with respect to their shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrant will be appropriately adjusted hereunder to take into account such payments and to provide for the payment of the remaining portion of the Total Merger Consideration (if any) in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the terms of this Agreement. Any payments made in respect of any such Per Share Liquidation Preference shall be in the same relative proportion of cash and stock payable to the other Accredited
7


Investors (if the holder is an Accredited Investor) or Unaccredited Investors (if the holder is an Unaccredited Investor) with respect to their shares of Company Capital Stock, with appropriate adjustments to take into account the fact that the amount per share being paid will be different between the affected series and the other series and classes of Company Capital Stock. The foregoing shall not limit in any way the obligations of any holder of any such affected series of Company Preferred Stock as a Company Indemnitor hereunder, other than the obligation to contribute to the Escrow Fund; provided that any such holder shall still contribute to the Expense Fund. All of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed to be modified to give effect to the foregoing treatment mutatis mutandis (including the Pro Rata Share definition and other applicable defined terms), and the Allocation Schedule will be prepared to reflect the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this Section 1.7(a)(ii) increase (A) the Total Merger Consideration that would otherwise be payable by Parent pursuant to this Agreement, (B) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable by Parent to holders of Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (C) the aggregate amount of the cash that would otherwise be payable by Parent to holders of Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    Treatment of Company Options.
(i)    Vested Company Options. No Vested Company Options shall be assumed or continued by Parent or the Company in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each Vested Company Option outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject thereto, (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (1) the Per Share Unaccredited Cash Amount for each share of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Vested Company Option, minus (2) an amount in cash equal to the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option, minus (3) the Per Share Escrow Amount, minus (4) the Per Share Expense Fund Amount, (B) any disbursements of Escrow Cash required to be made from the Escrow Fund with respect to such Vested Company Option to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the released amount), without interest in accordance with Section 7.4,(C) any cash disbursements required to be made in connection with the Post-Closing Excess Amount (if any) with respect to such Vested Company Option to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Post-Closing Excess Amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 1.15(e), and (D) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Expense Fund Account with respect to such Vested Company Option to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 7.6(c). Such payment in respect of any Vested Company Options that are Employee Options shall be made to the holders of Employee Options through Parent’s or the Surviving Entity’s payroll processing system in accordance with standard payroll practices net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions, and such payment in respect of any Vested Company Options that are Non-Employee Options, shall be paid to the Paying Agent for further payment to such the holders of such Non-Employee Options; provided that, as a condition to payment of any amount owed to the holders of Non-Employee Options, each such holder of Non-Employee Options must have first delivered to the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable, a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and a properly completed IRS Form W-9, or the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, as applicable. For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of consideration payable to each Company Vested Optionholder in respect of all of such holder’s Vested Company Options pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i), (1) the consideration payable in respect of all Vested Company Options held by such Company
8


Vested Optionholder shall be aggregated and (2) the amount of cash to be paid to each such Company Vested Optionholder after such aggregation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
(ii)    Unvested Company Options (Continuing Employees). At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Continuing Employee shall, by virtue of the Mergers and without any further action by Parent, Merger Subs, the Company, or the holder of such Unvested Company Option, be assumed by Parent and converted into, or terminated and substituted with, a stock option of Parent that represents the right to acquire a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (each, a “Converted Option”); provided, that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Following the Effective Time, each Converted Option shall continue to be governed by the same material terms and conditions, including the vesting schedule, as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time to the Unvested Company Option from which it was converted or for which it is a substitute, in all cases subject to restrictions related to the issuance of shares under applicable Law. The exercise price of each Converted Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price of the Unvested Company Option from which it was converted or for which it is a substitute, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (the “Converted Option Exercise Price”). It is the intention of the parties that each Converted Option shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such corresponding Company Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and that the adjustments in this Section 1.7(b)(ii) be performed in a manner that complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code.
(iii)    Unvested Company Options (Non-Continuing Employees). Each Unvested Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Person who is not a Continuing Employee shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration upon the Effective Time in accordance with the Company Equity Plan.
(iv)    Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the prior review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 1.7(b) under the Company Equity Plan and any Contract applicable to any Company Option (whether written or oral, formal or informal), including delivering all required notices in connection with the treatment of Company Options in accordance with this Section 1.7(b). The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company Equity Plan prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, warrants or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof other than the payments provided for under this Agreement.
(v)    At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Converted Options. To the extent Parent elects to assume the Company Equity Plan in connection with its assumption of the Converted Options pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(ii), Parent shall file
9


with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) relating to the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of Converted Options as promptly as is practical, but in any event no later than (i) five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date.
(c)    Treatment of Company Warrant. The Company Warrant shall not be assumed or continued by Parent or the Company in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished and, subject to the execution and delivery by the Company Warrantholder of the Warrant Cancellation Agreement at or prior to the Closing, be converted automatically into the right to receive with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject thereto, (i) at the Closing, subject to Section 1.9, (A) an amount of cash equal to (1) the Per Share Accredited Cash Consideration, minus (2) an amount in cash equal to the per share exercise price of the Company Warrant, minus (3) the Per Share Escrow Amount, minus (4) the Per Share Expense Fund Amount and (B) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Per Share Accredited Stock Consideration, (ii) any disbursements of Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares required to be made from the Escrow Fund with respect to such Company Warrant to the Company Warrantholder thereof (based on the Company Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 7.4, (iii) any disbursements of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock required to be made in connection with the Post-Closing Excess Amount (if any) with respect to the Company Warrant to the Company Warrantholder (based on the Company Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 1.15(e) and (iv) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Expense Fund Account with respect to such Company Warrant to the Company Warrantholder (based on the Company Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 7.6(c).
(d)    Effect on Capital Stock of Merger Subs.
(i)    At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
(ii)    At the Second Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common unit of the Surviving Entity.
(e)    Treasury Stock and Parent Owned Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or Parent (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or Parent) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or the right to receive any consideration therefor (such shares, the “Cancelled Shares”).
1.8    Payments.
(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the Closing, Parent shall transfer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, the cash portion of the
10

(c)    At any time following the date that is one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to Parent (or its designated successor or assign) all cash amounts that have been deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 1.8, and not disbursed to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.9 (as well as any and all interest thereon or other income or proceeds thereof), and thereafter the Company Securityholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent as general creditors thereof with respect to any and all cash amounts that may be payable to such holders pursuant to Section 1.8(b) upon the due surrender of duly executed Exchange Documents in the manner set forth in Section 1.9(b). No interest shall be payable to the Company Securityholders for the cash amounts delivered to Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.9(c) and which are subsequently delivered to the Company Securityholders.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9, none of Parent, the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity nor any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Total Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed immediately prior to the date on which it would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law
12


shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
1.10    Escrow Fund.
(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, transfer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent to hold in trust as an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) under the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b)    The Escrow Agreement shall be entered into at or prior to the Closing, by and among Parent, the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Indemnitors, and the Escrow Agent, and shall provide Parent with recourse against the Escrow Fund with respect to (i) any Post-Closing Deficit Amount under Section 1.15 and (ii) the Company Indemnitors’ obligations under Article VII during the period through the Escrow Expiration Date. The proceeds in the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Company Indemnitors, in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Shares, and to Parent at the times, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are specific terms of the Merger, and the approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Company Indemnitors constitutes approval by such Company Indemnitors, as specific terms of the Merger, and the irrevocable agreement of such Company Indemnitors to be bound by and comply with, the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto, including the deposit of the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Fund, the obligations set forth in Article VII and the appointment and sole authority of the Securityholder Representative to act on behalf of the Company Indemnitors, as provided for herein and in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(c)    Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Securityholder Representative agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Cash for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Cash, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable for Tax purposes to Parent, and (ii) within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar quarter and immediately prior to the final distribution of the Escrow Amount to the Company Securityholders, Parent shall be entitled to a distribution equal to thirty percent (30%) of all interest and earnings allocated to Parent for Tax purposes for such calendar quarter or portion thereof.
1.11    Dissenting Shares.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which the Company Stockholder thereof has properly demanded appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the payments set forth in Section 1.7, but such Company Stockholder shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
13


Section 1.11, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.7, without interest thereon, and subject to the escrow provisions set forth in Section 1.7 and Article VII and expense provisions in Section 7.6, upon the due surrender of duly executed Exchange Documents in the manner set forth in Section 1.9.
(b)    The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any Company Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any Company Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
1.12    No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the Accredited Investors in connection with the Mergers and the Parent Stock Issuance and any such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent shall pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, to each Accredited Investor who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregation), in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Company Capital Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and allocated to receive any shares of Parent Common Stock) in accordance with Section 1.7 by (b) the Parent Common Stock Closing Price, in each case, as set forth in the Allocation Schedule.
1.13    Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent, the Surviving Entity, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law or under any applicable Law or Order, and to request and be provided any necessary tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the proper Governmental Entity or other appropriate Person, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
1.14    Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Parent, Merger Subs, and the officers and directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Subs are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.
14


1.15    Post-Closing Reconciliation.
(a)    At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent its good faith calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), (ii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount”), (iii) the estimated Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), (iv) the estimated Closing Third Party Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Third Party Expenses”), and (v) the Estimated Base Merger Consideration Value calculated based on such estimated amounts (including the component pieces thereof) (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), in each case, accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations. The Company shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with the applicable definitions in this Agreement and with GAAP and, solely to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Company’s past practices (including the methodologies applied in the preparation of the Financials) and the principles and sample calculation set forth in Exhibit L; provided that if there is any inconsistency between GAAP and the definitions in this Agreement relating to the items to be set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, the definitions shall control. The Company shall make available to Parent and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the Estimated Closing Statement and reasonable access (on prior notice and during business hours) to employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with its review of such statement, and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives review of such statement and shall take into consideration in good faith any comments of Parent on the Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable. The Company may revise the Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing to reflect any comments from Parent and to make any other changes thereto required to update or correct the information set forth therein. The Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, and the Estimated Closing Third Party Expenses set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, after giving effect to any revisions thereto contemplated by this Section 1.15(a), will be used for purposes of calculating the Estimated Base Merger Consideration Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in a revised Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable.
(b)    As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) that shall set forth a calculation of (i) the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (iii) the Closing Third Party Expenses, (iv) the Closing Cash Amount and (v) the Base Merger Consideration Value, in each case accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations. Parent shall prepare the Post-Closing Statement in accordance with the applicable definitions in this Agreement and with GAAP and, solely to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the Company’s past practices (including the methodologies applied in the preparation of the Financials), in each case in a manner consistent with the Estimated Closing Statement and the principles and sample calculation set forth in Exhibit L; provided that if there is any inconsistency between GAAP and the definitions in this Agreement relating to the items to be set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, the definitions shall control. After the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers and the
15


working papers of Parent’s independent accountants, if any, relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness Amount, Closing Cash Amount and Closing Third Party Expenses after signing a customary confidentiality and non-reliance agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent’s independent accountants, to the extent required by such accountants, which confidentiality and non-reliance agreement shall not prohibit the Securityholder Representative from communicating any such information with the Company Indemnitors who have a need to know such information, provided that any such recipients are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto, as well as the relevant books and records of the Company, and Parent shall cause the Company and its Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives in their reasonable review of the Post-Closing Statement. The Securityholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Adjustment Disagreement”) within thirty (30) days of the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”) if the Securityholder Representative disagrees with any portion of the Post-Closing Statement. The Notice of Adjustment Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Securityholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Adjustment Review Period, then the Post-Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Securityholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Company Indemnitors for all purposes under this Agreement. During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Adjustment Resolution Period”), if any, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement. Any items agreed to by the Securityholder Representative and Parent in a written agreement executed and delivered by each of the Securityholder Representative and Parent, together with any items not disputed or objected to by the Securityholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” If at the end of the Adjustment Resolution Period, the parties have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Securityholder Representative and Parent, or either of them, shall refer all matters in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement other than the Resolved Matters (the “Unresolved Matters”) to Grant Thornton (the “Independent Accountant”). In the event that Grant Thornton refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Securityholder Representative and Parent, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such firm. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on the parties hereto for all purposes under this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the Unresolved Matters. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Securityholder Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Securityholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement or Parent in the Post-Closing Statement with respect to such Unresolved Matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items in the Post-Closing Statement or make any determination with
16


respect to any matter other than the Unresolved Matters. During the review by the Independent Accountant, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall each make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.15(b); provided, that the independent accountants of Parent or the Company shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Indemnitors) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the disputed items covered by such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant (for example, if the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant equals $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Securityholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Indemnitors)).
(c)    The “Final Closing Statement” shall be (i) in the event that no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.15(b), (ii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Securityholder Representative are able to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.15(b) as adjusted pursuant to the written agreement executed and delivered by Parent and the Securityholder Representative or (iii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Securityholder Representative are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.15(b) as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 1.15(b). The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.15(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” The Final Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Company Indemnitors for all purposes under this Agreement.
(d)    If the Base Merger Consideration Value set forth in the Final Closing Statement (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.15) is less than the Estimated Base Merger Consideration Value set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (after giving effect to any revisions thereto in accordance with Section 1.15(a)) (such difference, the “Post-Closing Deficit Amount”), then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly (but in all events within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date), instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release to Parent (i) from the Escrow Fund an amount of cash and stock, with such stock valued at the Parent Common Stock Closing
17


Price, equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Deficit Amount (plus any costs allocated to the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Indemnitors in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the remaining Escrow Amount) pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.15(b)). For avoidance of doubt, any recovery of any such Post-Closing Deficit Amount shall not be subject to any of the procedures for indemnification set forth in Section 7.2, it being understood that the sole recourse therefore shall be from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any payment of any Post-Closing Deficit Amount made pursuant to this Section 1.15(d) shall be pro rata from the cash and stock portion of the Escrow Amount.
(e)    If the Base Merger Consideration Value set forth in the Final Closing Statement (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.15) is more than the Estimated Base Merger Consideration Value set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (after giving effect to any revisions thereto in accordance with Section 1.15(a)) (such difference, the “Post-Closing Excess Amount”), then, subject to Section 4.2(f), Parent shall promptly (but in all events within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date) pay the Post-Closing Excess Amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock, in the same proportion of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock payable to the Company Indemnitors pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i), Section 1.7(b)(i) and Section 1.7(c), to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Indemnitors in accordance with their applicable pro rata portion of such Post-Closing Excess Amount; provided, that as a condition to Parent’s and Paying Agent’s obligation to make such payment, the Securityholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Schedule setting forth the pro rata portion of the Post-Closing Excess Amount payable to each Company Indemnitor.
(f)    Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Securityholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Company Indemnitor received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of payments or distributions made in accordance with the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Securityholder Representative.
1.16    Equitable Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time (and with respect to any provision hereof where the Parent Common Stock Closing Price is to be used as the basis for valuing shares of Parent Common Stock for any purpose after the Effective Time, on or prior to the applicable valuation date), any change in the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, any number or amount contained in this Agreement which is based on the price of Parent Common Stock or the number of shares of Parent Common Stock shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect with respect to the Parent Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or stock dividend thereon.

3.5    Parent SEC Documents; Financial Statements.
(a)    All statements, reports, schedules, forms and other documents (including exhibits and all information incorporated by reference) required to have been filed by Parent with the SEC since May 16, 2019 (the “Parent SEC Documents”) have been so filed on a timely basis. A true and complete copy of each Parent SEC Document is available on the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

3.7    Compliance with Laws. Parent and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Laws in connection with the operation of their business, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

3.9    Reorganization. Neither Parent nor either of the Merger Subs has taken or agreed to take any action that is not contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Parent nor either Merger Sub is aware of any facts or circumstances that are not contemplated by this Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided, however, that neither Parent nor either of the Merger Subs is making any representation or warranty under this Section 3.9 with respect to the value of the Parent Common Stock, either as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing, or with respect to whether a decline in the value of the Parent Common Stock could result in a failure of the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
3.10    Governmental Authorization. No consent, notice, waiver, approval, Order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by, or with respect to, Parent or Merger Subs in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which Parent or Merger Subs are a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for (a) such consents, notices, waivers, approvals, Orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable securities Laws and (b) the filing of the Certificates of Merger as provided in Section 1.2 hereof.

ARTICLE IV

STOCKHOLDER AND TAX MATTERS
4.1    Company Board Recommendation; Stockholder Notice; Securityholder Notice.
(a)    Once the Company Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained, neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the unanimous recommendation of the Board that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)    Within five (5) Business Days following the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare, with the cooperation of Parent, and send to each Company Stockholder (other than the Company Stockholders who previously executed the Company Stockholder Approval), a notice (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Stockholder Notice”) comprising (i) the notice contemplated by Section 228(e) of the DGCL of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent, (ii) the notice contemplated by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL, together with a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and (iii) an information statement to the Company Stockholders. The Stockholder Notice shall include (x) a statement to the effect that the Board had unanimously recommended that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) such other information as Parent and the Company may agree is required or advisable under the DGCL to be included therein. Following the mailing of the Stockholder Notice, no amendment or supplement to the Stockholder Notice shall be made by the Company without the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Parent and the Company agrees to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business, financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of Parent or its counsel, may be required or advisable to be included under the DGCL in the Stockholder Notice or in any amendment or supplement thereto, and Parent and the Company agree to cause their respective Representatives to cooperate in the preparation of the Stockholder Notice and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(c)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide the Company Securityholders (other than the Company Stockholders so notified pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) with valid and timely notification of the Mergers to the extent required by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Charter Documents, any Laws, or any agreement or instruments governing the Company Securities (other than the Company Capital Stock).
55


4.2    Tax Matters.
(a)    Preparation of Tax Returns.
(i)    The Company shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Company (taking into account any extension properly obtained) on or before the Closing Date (“Company Prepared Returns”), and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Company due on or before the Closing Date. All Company Prepared 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 otherwise required by applicable Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to filing a Company Prepared Return that is an income or other material Tax Return, the Company shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and comment and Company will consider in good faith any reasonable comments received in writing from Parent within ten (10) days of Company’s delivery of such Company Prepared Returns. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not initiate any discussions with a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes, or enter into any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes, without prior written notice to, and consent of, Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(ii)    Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Parent Prepared Returns”). All such Parent Prepared Returns with an initial due date for filing after the Closing Date that are not for a Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practice, except (x) as otherwise required by applicable Law or (y) to the extent that any such deviation from past practice could not reasonably be expected to give rise to an increased claim for indemnification under this Agreement. In the event that any Parent Prepared Returns shows any material Pre-Closing Taxes that may form the basis for a claim of indemnification against the Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Agreement, Parent will submit such Parent Prepared Return to the Securityholder Representative for review and comment a commercially reasonable period of time prior to filing (which, in the case of any income Tax Return required to be filed more than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, shall be at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing) and Parent will consider in good faith any reasonable comments received in writing from the Securityholder Representative within ten (10) days of Parent’s delivery of such Parent Prepared Return.
(b)    Cooperation. Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Company or its operations and any pending or threatened audit, Legal Proceedings or assessments with respect thereto or to Taxes owed by the Company. Such cooperation shall include Parent’s retention and provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Legal Proceedings and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company 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 taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date).
(c)    Transfer Taxes. The liability for all Transfer Taxes shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Company Indemnitors and fifty percent (50%) by Parent. Parent, the Company and the
56


Company Indemnitors shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Return or other documentation where necessary. Parent and Company Indemnitors shall, upon request of the other party, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Parent shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing any Tax Return relating to Transfer Taxes.
(d)    Post-Closing Tax Actions. Unless required by applicable Law, Parent and the Company shall not amend any Tax Return of the Company 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, or change any accounting method 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, in each case, without the prior written consent of Securityholder Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent any such action, initiation of discussions or examinations, voluntary disclosure, or change in accounting method would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Article VII.
(e)    Tax Claims.    If, subsequent to the Closing, any of Parent, its Affiliates or the Securityholder Representative receives written notice of a claim by any governmental authority relating to Taxes of the Company that, if successful, may reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Article VII (a “Tax Claim”), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the party receiving such notice shall give written notice of such Tax Claim to the other parties; provided, that no delay or failure on the part of Parent in delivering any such notice shall cause any Parent Indemnified Party to forfeit any indemnification rights under Article VII, except to the extent that the Company Indemnitors are actually prejudiced by such delay or failure. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to control the conduct and resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that (i) the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled (on behalf of the Company Indemnitors and at their expense) to participate in, but not to control, determine or conduct, the defense of such Tax Claim, and (ii) except with the consent of the Securityholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no settlement of any Tax Claim shall be determinative of the right of any Parent Indemnified Party to be indemnified with respect to such Tax Claim or settlement or any Losses relating thereto; provided, further, that the consent of the Securityholder Representative with respect to any settlement of any Tax Claim shall be deemed to have been given unless the Securityholder Representative shall have objected within thirty (30) day after a written request for such consent by Parent. In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Company Indemnitors shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of Article VII to the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise.
(f)    Tax Treatment. The Mergers are intended to be treated as integrated steps in a single transaction and together to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and Section 1.368-3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, in the reasonable judgment of Parent or the Company after consultation with their
57


respective Tax advisors, the value of the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable or issuable to Company Stockholders in respect of Company Capital Stock (the “Total Stockholder Consideration”) that is comprised of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Portion”) is not at least 40% of the aggregate value of the Total Stockholder Consideration (the “Reorg Threshold”), determined using the Parent Common Stock Closing Price, then the portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration that is comprised of cash (the “Cash Portion”) shall be reduced and the Stock Portion shall be increased to the minimum extent necessary, determined using the Parent Common Stock Closing Price, to achieve the Reorg Threshold. For the avoidance of doubt, for each additional share of Parent Common Stock that is added to the Stock Portion, the Cash Portion shall be reduced by the Parent Common Stock Closing Price. For purposes of calculating the Total Stockholder Consideration under this Section 4.2(f) at the Closing, (i) it shall be assumed that the Expense Fund is paid in full to the Company Indemnitors, (ii) the Revested Merger Consideration (as defined in the Founder Joinder Agreements) shall be accounted for without regard to the vesting restrictions imposed therein, and (iii) any Post-Closing Deficit Amount or Post-Closing Excess Amount, as applicable, shall not be taken into account. Once the Post-Closing Deficit Amount or Post-Closing Excess Amount, as applicable, are determined pursuant to Section 1.15(e), appropriate adjustments to the mix of cash and Parent Common Stock payable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.15(e) shall be made in a manner consistent with this Section 4.2(f), if necessary, to ensure that the Stock Portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration after giving effect to any such payments is not less than the Reorg Threshold.
(g)    Each of Parent and the Company shall report the Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code on its U.S. federal income Tax Return for the taxable year including the Closing Date and shall file all applicable U.S. state and local income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Mergers constituting a reorganization unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Neither of the Company, nor Parent shall (and after the Closing, Parent shall not permit the Company or any other Affiliate of Parent to) knowingly take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Mergers from being treated as a reorganization for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, other than any actions that are required by the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any Company Securityholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Mergers, or any of the Tax consequences to the Company or any Company Securityholder of this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that the Company and the Company Securityholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.
4.3    Allocation Schedule.
(a)    The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a spreadsheet (the “Allocation Schedule”) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing and reasonably satisfactory to Parent, which Allocation Schedule shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall set forth all of the information (in addition to the other required data and information specified therein) set forth on Schedule C hereto, as of immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in Schedule C to the contrary, the Allocation Schedule shall be appropriately modified to the extent necessary to give effect to Section 1.7(a)(ii), if applicable.
(b)    The Allocation Schedule shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for the calculations contained therein. The Company shall make available to Parent and
58


its Representatives the work papers (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and other books and records used in preparing the Allocation Schedule and reasonable access to Employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Allocation Schedule, and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives review and shall take into consideration in good faith any comments of Parent on the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in a revised Allocation Schedule, as applicable.
4.4    Securities Law Exemption; Transfer Restrictions; Stop-Transfer Instructions, Securities Law Compliance.
(a)    Each of the parties hereto (other than the Securityholder Representative) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the issuance of all shares of Parent Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Mergers to validly qualify for an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the equivalent state “blue sky” laws.
(b)    The shares of Parent Common Stock constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, and may not be transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and any such transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable state securities Laws. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with this Agreement shall bear a legend or legends referencing restrictions applicable to such shares under applicable securities Laws and under this Agreement, which legend shall state in substance:
“The securities evidenced by this certificate have been issued and sold without registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States (a “State Act”) in reliance upon certain exemptions from registration under said acts. The securities evidenced by this certificate cannot be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred within the United States unless such sale, assignment or other transfer is (i) made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in accordance with each applicable State Act or (ii) exempt from, or not subject to, the Securities Act and each applicable State Act.”
Parent shall instruct its transfer agent to remove such legend from the shares of Parent Common Stock issued hereunder on the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date subject to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, further, that Parent shall facilitate resales of Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date that is six months following the Agreement Date in respect of a sale that is compliant with Rule 144 by instructing its transfer agent to remove such legends in connection with any such Rule 144-compliant sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Accredited Investor may transfer shares of Parent Common Stock received in the Merger in a transaction that does not constitute a sale under Rule 144 to (i) to an Affiliate of such Accredited Investor, (ii) if the Accredited Investor is an individual, to an immediate family member or trust for the benefit of such Accredited Investor or one or more of such Accredited Investor’s immediate family members, (iii) pursuant to the laws of testamentary or intestate succession or otherwise involuntarily transferred by operation of law, or (iv) if the Accredited Investor is a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company, to any one or more partners, stockholders or members thereof;
59


provided, however, that (A) such Accredited Investor shall give Parent written notice prior to the time of such transfer stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the shares being transferred to the transferee and (B) such transferee shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.4. Any such transferee of shares pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee.”
(c)    To ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, Parent may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. Parent shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Parent Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares of Parent Common Stock, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends, to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares of Parent Common Stock has been purportedly so transferred.
(d)    From the date of this Agreement until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
(e)    Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock being issued in the Mergers to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on the New York Stock Exchange effective as of the Closing.
4.5    Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company.
(a)    During the period ending six (6) years after the Effective Time (and, if applicable, for any subsequent period of time during the pendency, and through the resolution, of any D&O Indemnifiable Matter(s) initiated during such six-year period), the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors to, fulfill their obligations to the present and former members of the Board and present and former officers of the Company (such directors and officers being herein called the “Company Indemnitees”) pursuant to the terms of the Charter Documents as in effect on the Agreement Date and any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Company Indemnitees set forth on Section 4.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (such obligations, collectively, the “D&O Indemnifiable Matters”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors in respect of the D&O Indemnifiable Matters (i) shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law, the terms of the Charter Documents and/or the terms of the applicable indemnification agreement and (ii) shall not be deemed to release any Company Indemnitee who is also an officer or director of the Company from his or her obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement to which such Person is a party.
(b)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase and fully pay (and such purchase price shall be included in Third Party Expenses of the Company) for an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent that shall provide the Company Indemnitees with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company (the “D&O Tail Policy”). Parent shall not, and
60


shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity to not, take any action to eliminate such D&O Tail Policy. The cost of any D&O Tail Policy shall be considered a Third Party Expense for purposes of this Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide a copy of the D&O Tail Policy to Parent, along with written confirmation from the insurance provider that the D&O Tail Policy will be bound at Closing.

(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, Parent shall make offers of employment to each Company employee who did not enter into an Offer Letter in connection with the execution of this Agreement. The terms of the Offer Letters will be consistent with Section 5.19(b), and will set forth the Retention Award to be granted to each such employee pursuant to Section 4.6. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate the employment of each employee of the Company who does not accept any such extended offer, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a general release of claims from each such employee who is so terminated. Any severance costs arising out of any such termination by the Company of an employee who received an offer of employment from Parent that complies with the provisions of this Section 5.19(a) shall be borne by the Company.

Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Eligible Continuing Employees with the Company attributable to any period before the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent for purposes of eligibility and vesting under Parent’s vacation program, health or welfare plan(s) maintained by Parent, and Parent’s defined contribution plans, except where credit would result in duplication of benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that any Eligible Continuing Employee participates in any health or other group welfare benefit plan of Parent following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (A) any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any health or similar welfare plan of Parent to be waived with respect to the Eligible Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the Eligible Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) any deductibles paid by Eligible Continuing Employee under the Company’s health plans in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.
(c)    Nothing contained in this Section 5.19, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer upon any Eligible Continuing Employee any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any benefit plan, (ii) shall alter or limit Parent’s or the Company’s or their Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (iii) is intended to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION; ESCROW
7.1    Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in the Certificates, and the right of any Parent Indemnified Party to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing Date until 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the Escrow Expiration Date; provided, that in the event of Fraud with respect to a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in the Certificates, as applicable, such representation or warranty, and the right to assert such a claim, shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations applicable to common law fraud in Delaware; provided, further, that (a) the Fundamental Representations other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.9 (Tax Matters) (the “Tax Representations”), and the right to assert such a claim, shall remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date and (b) the Tax Representations, and the right to assert such a claim, shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the statutes of limitations (including any extensions or waivers thereof) applicable to the subject matter of such Tax Representations; provider further, if an Indemnification Claim Notice or Third
75


Party Notice is given under, and in accordance with, this Article VII with respect to any representation or warranty prior to the applicable expiration date, such claim shall be preserved until such claim is finally resolved. The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement shall terminate at the Effective Time; provided, that in the event of Fraud with respect to a representation or warranty contained in Article III or in the Parent Certificate, as applicable, such representation or warranty, and the right to assert such a claim, shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations applicable to common law fraud in Delaware. The covenants and agreements of the Company that by their terms are to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing, and the right of any Parent Indemnified Party to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder with respect thereto, shall survive until 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date. Each other covenant and agreement of any party herein shall survive until fully performed in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties and covenants and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement, and the Company Indemnitors and the Parent Indemnified Parties hereby waive any claims or defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent inconsistent with the survival periods set forth herein.
7.2    Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to Section 7.3 and the other limitations set forth in this Article VII, from and after the consummation of the First Merger, the Company Indemnitors shall (i) jointly, to the extent of the funds then available in the Escrow Fund, and (ii) as to any amounts exceeding the funds then available in the Escrow Fund, severally, and not jointly, in accordance with each Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Share (subject to Section 7.3(c) with respect to any Company Indemnitor who committed or had actual knowledge of Fraud), indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity), agents and other representatives (the “Parent Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties, or any of them, resulting from or arising out of any of the following:
(i)    the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement or the Certificates to be true and correct on the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, except that any such representations and warranties which by their express terms are made solely as of a specified earlier date shall be true and correct as of such specified earlier date; provided, that all materiality qualifications (such as “material” and “Material Adverse Effect”, other than the use of the word “material” as part of any defined term) in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded for the purposes of calculating Losses under this Article VII;
(ii)    any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement that is to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing;
(iii)    regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information set forth in the Allocation Schedule other than any inaccuracies with respect to the items set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (which shall be governed by Section 1.15);
76


(iv)    any Fraud in respect of the representations and warranties in Article II of this Agreement or in the Certificates;
(v)    the exercise by any Company Stockholder of appraisal or dissenters’ rights, including payments in respect of such Person’s Dissenting Shares to the extent such payments exceed the cash amount to which such Person would have been entitled pursuant to Section 1.11 in respect of such Dissenting Shares if such Person had not exercised appraisal rights in respect thereof, and any breach of fiduciary duties claims in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(vi)    regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes to the extent such amounts were not taken into account in the Closing Indebtedness Amount or Closing Third Party Expenses, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.15.
(b)    The rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (other than as a result of disclosures set forth on the face of the Disclosure Schedule), whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy under this Agreement based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Other than with respect to any claim for Fraud, no Parent Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in order for such Parent Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to any Related Agreement to pursue remedies under such Related Agreement against any other party thereto with respect to any breaches of such Related Agreements by such other party.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall be no indemnification provided for, and the Company makes no representations or warranties regarding, (i) the amount, value or condition of, or any limitations on, any net operating losses or Tax credit of the Company arising in any Pre-Closing Tax Period (each, a “Tax Attribute”) in a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, or the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to utilize such Tax Attributes in a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, and (ii) any Taxes resulting from any action taken by or with respect to the Company after the Closing on the Closing Date outside the Ordinary Course of Business not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.
7.3    Certain Limitations.
(a)    Except in the case of Fraud, and subject to Section 7.3(b), the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(a) unless and until the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $250,000 in Losses in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”), at which time the Parent
77


Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover in accordance with this Agreement all such Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, subject to the other limitations in this Agreement.
(b)    Except in the case of Fraud and indemnification claims related to any breach of or inaccuracy in the Fundamental Representations, the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) shall be recourse against the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the other limitations in this Article VII, in the event the Parent Indemnified Parties have recovered Losses from the Escrow Fund for Fraud pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) (such amounts, to the extent recovered from the Escrow Fund, the “Recovered Fraud Amounts”), the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have direct recourse against the Company Indemnitors, severally and not jointly, for claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations and warranties, other than Fundamental Representations, up to an amount equal to the Recovered Fraud Amounts.
(c)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.3(a) and 7.3(b), the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to bring indemnification claims directly against the Company Indemnitors pursuant to the claims procedures in Section 7.4; provided that any Losses with respect to such claims for indemnification, other than those under Section 7.2(a)(iv), shall first be recovered from the Escrow Fund to the extent there are funds then remaining therein; provided, further that in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Company Indemnitor for (i) all indemnification claims related to any breach or inaccuracy in the representations contained in Sections 2.12(a) through (n) and (q) (Intellectual Property) exceed the IP Indemnification Cap and (ii) all indemnification claims under this Agreement exceed the amount of Total Merger Consideration, in each case as received by such Company Indemnitor (provided that the portion of the Escrow Amount and, in the case of each Founder, the Revested Merger Consideration shall be treated as received for purposes of this sentence), unless such indemnity claim is being made in respect of Fraud committed by such Company Indemnitor or Fraud of which such Company Indemnitor had actual knowledge (in which event there shall be no limitation on the liability of such Company Indemnitor that committed or had actual knowledge of such Fraud hereunder with respect to such Fraud). In no event shall any Company Indemnitor have any liability for (x) any Fraud committed by any other Company Indemnitor except for Fraud of which such Company Indemnitor had actual knowledge or (y) for any breach by any other Company Indemnitor of any Related Agreement entered into by such Company Indemnitor.
(d)    The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VII shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or reimbursements actually received by the Parent Indemnified Parties from third parties (other than the Company Indemnitors) in respect of such Losses (net of any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement, including any increases in insurance premiums or retro-premium adjustments resulting from such recovery); provided that, except for the following sentence, nothing in this Section 7.3(d) shall be construed as or give rise to an obligation on the part of Parent or any Parent Indemnified Party to seek any such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under the D&O Tail Policy with respect to any applicable Losses. If any Parent Indemnified Party receives any such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or reimbursements from third parties (other than the Company Indemnitors) with respect to any Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment hereunder (whether from the Escrow Fund or directly from any Company Indemnitor), it shall deposit an amount equal to the portion of the indemnification payment for which it received such a third party
78


recovery (net of any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, including any increases in insurance premiums or retro-premium adjustments resulting from such recovery) into the Escrow Fund (if the Escrow Expiration Date has not yet occurred and to the extent such indemnification payment was made from the Escrow Fund) or with the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Indemnitors who paid for such Losses based on their relative Pro Rata Shares.
(e)    For purposes of determining the maximum liability under this Article VII of a particular Company Indemnitor who receives shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, the shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Company Indemnitor shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Common Stock Closing Price. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit in any way the liability of a Company Indemnitor for such Company Indemnitor’s own Fraud or of Fraud of which such Company Indemnitor had actual knowledge.
(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or other indemnifiable matter under Section 7.2. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement with respect to any amount or item to the extent such amount or item was actually and specifically included in the calculation of the Base Merger Consideration Value as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.15.
(g)    Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, for any of the other matters set forth in Section 7.2, or otherwise resulting from or arising out of this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby, will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII; provided, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of (i) any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, (ii) any right or remedy of a party under any Related Agreement to which it is party, or (iii) any right or remedy against a particular Company Indemnitor with respect to such Company Indemnitor’s own Fraud or Fraud of which such Company Indemnitor had actual knowledge, and all claims related to such Company Indemnitor’s own Fraud or Fraud of which such Company Indemnitor had actual knowledge shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to common law fraud in Delaware. All claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article VII shall be asserted by Parent on behalf of the applicable Parent Indemnified Parties. Subject to the other limitations contained herein, the obligations of the Company Indemnitors under this Article VII shall not be reduced, offset, eliminated or subject to contribution by reason of any action or inaction by the Company that contributed to any inaccuracy or breach giving rise to such obligation, it being understood that the Company Indemnitors, not the Company, shall have the sole obligation for the indemnification obligations under this Article VII.
7.4    Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.
(a)    Subject to the survival periods in Section 7.1 and the limitations set forth in Section 7.3 hereof, if a Parent Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article VII, Parent, on behalf of such Parent Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Securityholder Representative (i) stating that such Parent Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay,
79


incur, suffer or sustain Losses and (ii) specifying such Losses in reasonable detail (to the extent available), and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. To the extent reasonably practicable, Parent shall include with the Indemnification Claim Notice such documents and other information available to Parent in support of the claims asserted therein, and shall provide such other information as the Securityholder Representative may reasonably request in order to allow the Securityholder Representative to assess the merits of the claims. Parent may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof, so long as such update reasonably relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Indemnification Claim Notice.
(b)    If the Securityholder Representative on behalf of the Company Indemnitors shall not object in writing within the twenty (20) Business Day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Securityholder Representative on behalf of the Company Indemnitors that the Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice if and to the extent such Losses are actually paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, but subject to the other limitations on recovery set forth herein. In such event, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the resolution of such Indemnification Claim Notice) deliver a joint written instruction (a “Joint Instruction”) to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to immediately release to Parent from the Escrow Fund, to the extent then available, cash with an aggregate value equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice (or as much cash as is then available in the Escrow Fund in the event such Losses exceed the then available balance of the Escrow Fund).
(c)    In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall timely deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(b), the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of an indemnification claim to be recovered from the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Parent from the Escrow Fund a portion of the Escrow Amount equal to the Losses set forth in such memorandum (or as much of the Escrow Amount as is then available in the Escrow Fund in the event such Losses exceed the then available balance of the Escrow Fund). Should the amount held in the Escrow Fund, if any, be insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount to be paid to a Parent Indemnified Party in accordance with such memorandum, then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, each Company Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such memorandum, pay to the Parent Indemnified Party, such Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Share of such shortfall.
(d)    If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after the timely delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice by the Securityholder Representative in accordance with Section 7.4(b), either Parent or the Securityholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Losses is at issue in pending litigation with a
80


third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted in accordance with Section 9.12. The decision of the arbitrator (or a majority of the three arbitrators, as applicable) in such arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 9.12 as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Indemnification Claim Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written 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 and, in the case of an indemnification claim to be recovered from the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such decision and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Parent from the Escrow Fund a portion of the Escrow Amount equal to the Losses set forth in such decision (or as much of the Escrow Amount as is then available in the Escrow Fund in the event such Losses exceed the then available balance of the Escrow Fund). Should the amount held in the Escrow Fund, if any, be insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount to be paid to a Parent Indemnified Party in accordance with such decision, then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, each Company Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such decision, pay to the Parent Indemnified Party, such Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Share of such shortfall.
(e)    Subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.3, including Section 7.3(c), the Escrow Amount shall be available as partial security to compensate the Parent Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VII. Any Losses that are agreed or determined pursuant to this Article VII to be indemnifiable (“Indemnifiable Losses”) and which are recovered from the Escrow Amount shall come (A) with respect to each Founder, proportionally from the vested portion of the Escrow Amount that is not subject to revesting and the unvested portion of the Escrow Amount that is subject to revesting, in each case pursuant to such Founder’s Joinder Agreement, and (B) pro rata from the cash and stock portion of the Escrow Amount. Indemnifiable Losses recovered from the Escrow Amount shall reduce the portion of the remaining Escrow Amount attributable to each of the Company Indemnitor in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the remaining Escrow Amount, if any, and out of each such Company Indemnitor’s portion of the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares in the same proportions as Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares were deposited in the Escrow Account with respect to such Company Indemnitor at the Closing (as set forth on the Allocation Schedule). Each Company Indemnitor may elect, in his, her or its sole discretion, whether to satisfy any shortfall between the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses and the Escrow Amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund in cash, in shares of Parent Common Stock, or a combination thereof, which such shares to be valued for these purposes at an amount equal to the Parent Common Stock Closing Price. In furtherance of, and without limiting, the foregoing, in the event a Founder is obligated to satisfy any such shortfall and such Founder still has Revested Merger Consideration that has not yet vested, such Founder shall satisfy such amount proportionally from the vested portion of the Founder’s Total Merger Consideration and the unvested portion of the Revested Merger Consideration.
(f)    On or before the third (3rd) Business Day after the Escrow Expiration Date, Parent will notify the Securityholder Representative in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that have been asserted in any Indemnification Claim Notice that was delivered to the Securityholder

Representative at or prior to 11:59 p.m. (California Time) on the Escrow Expiration Date, but not resolved, at or prior to such time (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the Escrow Expiration Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the Escrow Amount as of the Escrow Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Indemnitors (other than amounts payable in respect of Employee Options) in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share of such amount; provided, that the portion of such amount due in respect of Employee Options shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to Parent and paid by Parent or the Surviving Entity to the holders of Company Options in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share of such amount through its payroll processing system.
(g)    Following the Escrow Expiration Date, after resolution and payment of a Continuing Claim, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the Retained Escrow Amount as of the date of such resolution and payment (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), minus (ii) the amounts that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy other Continuing Claims (which amounts will continue to be held as the Retained Escrow Amount) to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Indemnitors (other than amounts payable in respect of Employee Options) in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share of such amount; provided, that the portion of such amount due in respect of Employee Options shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to Parent and paid by Parent or the Surviving Entity to the holders of Company Options in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share of such amount through its payroll processing system.
(h)    Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that as a condition to Parent’s and Paying Agent’s obligation to make any payments pursuant to Section 7.4(f) or Section 7.4(g), the Securityholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Schedule setting forth the amounts payable to each Company Indemnitor in accordance with such section. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Securityholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Company Indemnitor received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of payments or distributions made in accordance with the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Securityholder Representative.
(i)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any notice that is required to be delivered to any Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such notice to the Securityholder Representative and (ii) any notices required to be delivered by, or any actions (other than any obligation to make, or right to receive, any payments) that are required to be taken by, any Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied by delivery by, or action taken by the Securityholder Representative.
7.5    Third Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall notify the Securityholder Representative of such claim with an Indemnification
82


Claim Notice (a “Third Party Notice”), and the Third Party Notice shall be accompanied by copies of any documentation submitted by the third party making such Third Party Claim (except that Parent may withhold from Securityholder Representative such communications with its legal counsel to the extent that legal counsel to Parent advises that providing such communication could result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege or right under the work-product doctrine of Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, after giving due consideration to any “community of interest” or similar privilege, if any); provided, that no delay or failure on the part of Parent in delivering a Third Party Notice shall cause any Parent Indemnified Party to forfeit any indemnification rights under this Article VII except to the extent that the Company Indemnitors are actually prejudiced by such delay or failure. Upon receipt of a Third Party Notice, the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled (on behalf of the Company Indemnitors and at their expense) to participate in, but not to control, determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle any such claim and the Securityholder Representative shall not be entitled to control any negotiation of settlement, adjustment or compromise with respect to any such Third Party Claim; provided, that except with the consent of the Securityholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the right of any Parent Indemnified Party to be indemnified with respect to such Third Party Claim or settlement or the amount of any Losses relating thereto; provided, further, that the consent of the Securityholder Representative with respect to any settlement of any such Third Party Claim shall be deemed to have been given unless the Securityholder Representative shall have objected within thirty (30) days after a written request for such consent by Parent. In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Company Indemnitors shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise.
7.6    Securityholder Representative.
(a)    By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Mergers, and the consummation of the Mergers, executing a Joinder Agreement or participating in the Mergers and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers, each Company Indemnitor shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Company Indemnitors as of the Closing for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and any other agreements ancillary hereto, including to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Company Indemnitors. Such agency may be changed by the Company Indemnitors from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, that the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless the former holders of a majority of Company Capital Stock agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative may be filled by the former holders of a majority of
83


Company Capital Stock. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Indemnitors.
(b)    Neither the Securityholder Representative nor any member of the Advisory Committee (as defined in that certain engagement letter entered into between the Securityholder Representative and certain of the Company Indemnitors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Engagement Letter”)) shall incur liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Securityholder Representative or the Advisory Committee in connection with their services pursuant to this Agreement, the Engagement Letter, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement ancillary hereto, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative or such member of the Advisory Committee, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not prejudice the Securityholder Representative’s right to indemnification from the members of the Advisory Committee (in their capacity as Company Indemnitors) pursuant to the following sentence. The Company Indemnitors shall, on a several and not joint basis and based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Securityholder Representative and each member of the Advisory Committee from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) to the extent arising out of or in connection with the Securityholder Representative’s or the Advisory Committee’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative or such member of the Advisory Committee, as applicable, the Securityholder Representative or such member of the Advisory Committee, as applicable, shall promptly reimburse the Company Indemnitors the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Company Indemnitors, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund Account and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Indemnitors under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Indemnitors; provided, that while this section allows the Securityholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned source of funds, this does not relieve the Company Indemnitors from their obligation to promptly pay, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event shall the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Indemnitors or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Indemnitors set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative under this section. The Company Indemnitors acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
84


(c)    Upon the Closing, Parent shall wire to an account of Securityholder Representative as set forth on the Allocation Schedule (the “Expense Fund Account”) an amount of $200,000 in cash (the “Expense Fund”), which shall be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto. The Company Indemnitors shall not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative shall hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, shall not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and shall not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable after the completion of the Securityholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver the balance of the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Securityholders the portion of such balance payable pursuant to Section 1.7(a), Section 1.7(b)(i) and Section 1.7(c), as applicable; provided, that as a condition to Parent’s and Paying Agent’s obligation to make such payments, the Securityholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Schedule setting forth the portion of such Expense Fund distribution payable to each Company Indemnitor. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Indemnitors at the time of Closing. Any tax required to be withheld with respect to the deemed payment to a Company Indemnitor of its portion of the Expense Fund shall reduce the amount of cash to such Person at Closing in respect of Company Capital Stock and shall not reduce the Expense Fund.
(d)    A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including but not limited to an amendment, of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof, in accordance with the authority granted to the Securityholder Representative hereunder shall constitute a decision of the Company Indemnitors and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Indemnitors. Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Indemnitors. Parent is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative.
7.7    Treatment of Payments. Any payment under Article VII of this Agreement (other than Section 7.6(c)) shall be treated by the parties, including for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, as a purchase price adjustment unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

The arbitrator(s) shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator(s) determine that discovery was sought without reasonable justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without reasonable justification.
(c)    Decision. The decision of the arbitrator (or a majority of the three arbitrators, as applicable) as to any claim or dispute shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, order awarded by the arbitrator(s).
