Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 18, 2024, Playtika Holding Corp. (the “Company”), Playtika Ltd. (“Playtika Limited”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with SuperPlay Ltd. (“SuperPlay”), the shareholders of SuperPlay (the “Sellers”) and Gigi Levy-Weiss, as the shareholder representative, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Playtika Limited agreed to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers agreed to sell to Playtika Limited, all of the issued and outstanding share capital of SuperPlay (the “Transaction”) for an aggregate purchase price equal to (i) $700.0 million, payable at the Closing, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, plus (ii) earnout payments of up to $1.250 billion (the “Earnout Consideration”), the amounts of which will be based on certain gross revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA metrics of SuperPlay during the calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027, in each case, payable following the end of the applicable measurement period. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has unconditionally guaranteed Playtika Limited’s obligations, including payment obligations, under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnification obligations of the Company, Playtika Limited, SuperPlay and the Sellers. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain covenants governing the operation of SuperPlay during the applicable measurement periods, including with respect to marketing spend, certain structural changes to the SuperPlay business or its employees, and general operations (including certain remedies for failure to comply with these requirements, including certain adjustments to the purchase price if SuperPlay’s marketing expenses exceeds certain thresholds). The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions including, among other things: (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, the other party; (ii) the absence of a material adverse effect on SuperPlay; (iii) the receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the absence of any law or order preventing the closing of the Transaction; and (v) the completion of certain ancillary transition actions.

The Purchase Agreement also includes customary termination rights, including if the closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or before March 31, 2025. Playtika Limited may also be required to pay a termination fee to SuperPlay of $10.0 million if the Transaction is terminated as a result of failure to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals or of Playtika Limited’s breach of the Purchase Agreement (in each case, subject to certain limitations). If the Transaction has not closed prior to October 1, 2024, and all conditions to closing are met, other than Playtika Limited’s obligation to deliver the closing deliverables, the purchase price shall be increased up to certain limits based on a proration of the Adjusted EBITDA of SuperPlay between October 1, 2024 and the closing date for the Transaction, to the extent the Adjusted EBITDA is a negative number. In addition, if the Transaction has not closed prior to October 1, 2024, and SuperPlay exceeds certain marketing expense or Adjusted EBITDA thresholds between October 1, 2024 and the closing date, the purchase price shall be reduced based on a multiple of the amount by which SuperPlay exceeds such thresholds.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The above description of the Purchase Agreement has been included to provide information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other information about the Company, Playtika Limited, SuperPlay and the Sellers or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties thereto that were made solely for the benefit of the other party. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Purchase Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties may apply a contractual standard of materiality that is different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The representations and warranties were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Purchase Agreement and should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information relating to the parties thereto or the Company.

Each of Buyer and the Representative shall promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) days following the referral of the Unresolved Objections to the Independent Accountant, prepare a written statement describing their respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Objections, which, together with the relevant documents, will be submitted to the Independent Accountant for review and final determination (“Written Statement”). Following submission of any Unresolved Objections to the Independent Accountant, Buyer and the Representative shall promptly

 

-24-


furnish the Independent Accountant with such information and documents as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request in order to resolve the Unresolved Objections. For the avoidance of doubt, the review of the Independent Accountant will be limited to the Unresolved Objections and the Independent Accountant shall determine its calculation of the Unresolved Objections in accordance with GAAP.

(iii) Within ten (10) days after the date of receipt of the last Written Statement, the Independent Accountant shall make a determination as to the resolution of the Unresolved Objections and shall issue a written ruling of such resolution, which shall include an illustration of all adjustments (which for the avoidance of doubt shall only be related to the Unresolved Objections) to the Draft Closing Statement based on any resolutions to objections agreed upon by Buyer and the Representative and pursuant to the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination only as to the Unresolved Objections and shall not decide any specific items not under dispute and its determination as to the Unresolved Objections shall be within the range of values assigned to each such disputed item in the Draft Closing Statement and the Objection Notice, respectively.

(iv) The Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and the Representative. Buyer and the Representative agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.6(d) for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes and the Final Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either Buyer or the Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Independent Accountant or prohibit either party from making any claims for breach or making claims of indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for breach by any other party of any of the provisions of this Section 2.6. As used herein, the term “Final Closing Statement” shall refer to (i) the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company to the extent Buyer provides a Buyer Acceptance Statement or fails to provide either a Buyer Acceptance Statement or a Draft Closing Statement by the Draft Closing Statement Deadline; (ii) the Draft Closing Statement delivered by Buyer if the Representative delivers to Buyer an Acceptance Notice or fails to deliver an Objection Notice by the Objection Deadline Date, or (iii) the Draft Closing Statement as adjusted pursuant to the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections or as otherwise mutually agreed between Buyer and the Representative.

(v) Buyer and the Representative will each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective accountants, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Statement, if any. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Representative, on behalf of Company Securityholders, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total Unresolved Objections originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the Unresolved Objections total $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Representative, on behalf of Company Securityholders. However, Buyer and the Representative will each bear its own costs in presenting its position regarding any Unresolved Objections to the Independent Accountant.

(d) Adjustment. The Closing Date Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (without duplication): (i)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Cash and Cash Equivalents, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(c) (the “Final Cash and Cash Equivalents”) are greater than the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents are less than the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents; (ii)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(c) (the “Final Working Capital”), is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Date Working

 

-25-


Capital; (iii)(A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Indebtedness, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(c) (the “Final Indebtedness”) is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness; and (iv)(A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Transaction Expenses, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6(c) (the “Final Transaction Expenses”) are greater than the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses; (v) decreased by the Interim Period Adjustment Amount; (if any) and (iv) increased by the Interim Period Closing Adjustment Payment (if any), all provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, including the results of the calculation set under this Section2.6(d), in no event shall the Final Closing Date Purchase Price exceed the Base Amount.

(e) Adjustment Payments. No later than seven (7) Business Days following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount:

(i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Buyer and the Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Sellers and holders of Vested Company Options or to the 102 Trustee on their behalf) other than amounts to be retained as Retained Amount for further distribution to the holders of the Deemed Vested Options, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Allocation Statement), the Adjustment Escrow Fund, which shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Paying Agent (and retained by the Escrow Agent as Retained Amount), from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, if the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Buyer shall be entitled to receive any such remaining Adjustment Amount from any (or all)of the following, at the order elected by the Buyer : (a) instruct the Escrow Agent, to pay any remaining difference to the Buyer out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund; (b) set-off any such remaining amount from any Earnout Consideration due to Company Securityholders; and (c) receive such remaining amount directly from Company Securityholders, but not more than the lower of (i) the Pro Rata Share of any Company Securityholder out of the remaining Adjustment Amount; (i) and 100% of the Purchase Price paid to such Company Securityholder.

(iii) if the Adjustment Amount is zero, then (A) Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, and Company Securityholders shall not be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, and (B) Buyer and the Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Paying Agent (for distribution to Sellers and holders of Vested Company Options, or to the 102 Trustee on their behalf other than the Retained Amount which be retained for further distribution to the holders of the Deemed Vested Options , or to the 102 Trustee on their behalf, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Allocation Statement) the Adjustment Escrow Fund, which shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by

(d) Maximum Earnout Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum Earnout Consideration payable by Buyer to Company Securityholders (jointly) under this Agreement shall not exceed an aggregate amount of One Billion and Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($1,250,000,000) (the “Maximum Earnout Consideration”).

(e) Interim Period.

(i) During the period between the Closing and December 31, 2024 (the “Interim Period”), each of the Buyer and the Buyer Parent undertakes and shall finance the operations of the Company in accordance with Section2.7(g)(ii); provided that Marketing Expenses for each month of the Interim Period shall not exceed the respective amounts set forth under Schedule 2.7(e)(i)(a) (the “Interim Period Marketing Allowance”) without Buyer’s prior written consent. In the event that the Adjusted EBITDA for the 3-month period ended December 31, 2024, is lower than negative $15,000,000 (Fifteen Million Dollars), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward proportionally pursuant to the following sentence. Each dollar of Adjusted EBITDA which is less than negative $15,000,000 will result in a corresponding price reduction of two and a half ($2.50) dollars (such adjustment amount being referred to as the “Interim Period EBITDA Adjustment Amount”). Additionally, if actual Marketing Expenses during any month of the Interim Period exceed the Interim Period Marketing Allowance for that month, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward proportionally pursuant to the following sentence. Each dollar of excess Marketing Expenses above the specified Interim Period Marketing Allowance for a specific month will result in a corresponding reduction of four dollars ($4) in the Purchase Price (such adjustment amount being referred to as the “Q4 2024 Excess Marketing Expenses Adjustment Amount”). The total adjustment to the Purchase Price concerning Marketing Expenses under this Section 2.7(e)(i) shall be the aggregate amount of all Q4 2024 Excess Marketing Expenses Adjustment Amounts for all months of the Interim Period (the “Interim Period Marketing Adjustment Amount” and, collectively with the Interim Period EBITDA Adjustment Amount, the

 

-29-


Interim Period Adjustment Amount”). It is expressly clarified that each month is measured on a standalone basis, and no amounts shall be carried forward from one month to another. The Interim Period Adjustment Amount shall be determined together with the determination of the Final Closing Statement, and the provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply to the calculation and payment thereof, mutatis mutandis, including for the avoidance of doubt the deduction of such amount the Final Closing Date Purchase Price as part of the Adjustment Amount, or by set-off the Earnout Consideration, as detailed under Section 2.6(e). Examples for the Interim Period Adjustment Amount are attached as Schedule 2.7(e)(i)(b) hereunder.

(ii) In the event that the Closing occurs after October 1, 2024 and the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) (‘Antitrust Matters’) has been fully satisfied, and following the attainment of such condition under Section 8.1(b) (‘Antitrust Matters’), the Company has notified the Buyer in writing that all other closing conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 have been satisfied (the sixth (6th) day following such notification shall be referred to as the “Assumed Closing Date”), and the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 (in whole or in part) have not been satisfied by the Assumed Closing Date (provided that the Buyer’s failure to provide the Deliverables under Section 8.3(b) for such purpose shall include copies executed solely by the Buyer (and not by the Paying Agent or Escrow Agent)), then, the Purchase Price shall be increased by (x) if the Closing is before January 1, 2025, by the amount by which the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2024 is less than zero up to a maximum amount of $15,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from Assumed Closing Date until the earlier of the December 31, 2024 and the Closing Date and the denominator of which is 92 (the “Interim 2024 Q4 Period Closing Adjustment Payment”); and (y) in the event that the Closing occurs in 2025 then, in addition to the Interim 2024 Q4 Period Closing Adjustment Payment, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 is less than zero up to a maximum amount of $26,300,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the later of the Assumed Closing Date and January 1, 2025 and until the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is 90 (the “Interim 2025 Q1 Period Closing Adjustment Payment” and together with the Interim 2024 Q4 Period Adjustment Payment, the “Interim Period Closing Adjustment Payment”). The Interim Period Closing Adjustment Payment shall be determined together with the determination of the Final Closing Statement, and the provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply to the calculation and payment thereof, mutatis mutandis. Examples for the Interim Period Closing Adjustment Payment are attached as Schedule 2.7(e)(ii) hereunder.

(f) No Guarantee; Certain Restrictions. Buyer does not guarantee the satisfaction of the conditions required for payment of the Earnout Consideration or any portion thereof. Subject to the foregoing, during the Earnout Period, Buyer shall carry on the business of the Company as a going concern, and shall not, without the prior consent of the Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) take any of the following actions, or knowingly cause or permit any of the following actions: (i) sell, transfer, discontinue, cease to operate, or otherwise dispose of, any material asset of the Company, (ii) expand or develop the business of the Company through any corporate vehicle or entity other than a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (unless the earnings of the expanded business are consolidated with the earnings of the Company for the purposes of calculating the Earnout Consideration), (iii) if the Buyer causes the Company to acquire any business without the consent of the Founders, require that the Company devote any material resources to such new business, (iv) liquidate, dissolve or wind up the Company (unless the earnings of the Company’s business are otherwise attributed for the purposes of calculating the Earnout Consideration), or terminate the Company’s activities in any material manner, (v) remove or replace the Founders in relation to any role held by them as at the Closing Date until January 1, 2028, other than for Cause or title and other changes made to conform to the Buyer’s employment practices,

 

-30-


and, without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, hire or terminate (other than for Cause) any Company personnel except as approved by the Founders or restrict Founders from hiring personnel other than where candidates violate Buyer’s hiring code or policies, and (iv) willfully take any action that is intended to diminish the Earnout Consideration.

(g) Covenants. Until the lapse of the Earnout Period, the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) to:

(i) to the extent that one of the Founders is terminated due to death or Disability, then the other remaining Founder shall have the right, for the remaining duration of the Earnout Period, to appoint the replacement for the other Founder, under the same terms and conditions without additional cost to the Company or the Buyer (such replacement to be one of the other Founders or another person mutually agreed by the Company and the Founders);

(ii) allow the Founders to expend Marketing Expenses (and Buyer shall fund such Marketing Expenses and the Company’s activity on a timely basis) as long as (a) the Company maintains a gap (which shall be measured for each calendar quarter during the Earnout Period (an “Earnout Quarter”) at the end of such Earnout Quarter on a year to date basis) between the Net Revenues and Marketing Expenses (i.e., Net Revenues less Marketing Expenses) (the “Gap”), that shall not be lower than the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.7(g)(ii)(a)(the “Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements”), (b) during the First Year Earnout Period, the Founders shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, deviate total Marketing Expenses for Dice Dream and Domino Dreams in each Earnout Quarter by more than 35% (upwards or downwards, calculated on an aggregate basis for both games) from the amount set forth with respect to such Earnout Quarter in Schedule 2.7(g)(ii)(b) (the “First Year Allowed Budget”) and (c) the Marketing Expenses for the fourth Earnout Quarter during each of the Second Year Earnout Period and the Third Year Earnout Period shall not be lower by more than 33% of the Marketing Expenses in the third Earnout Quarter of the applicable Earnout Period year; provided, however that in case of force majeure events or general market conditions which cause Buyer and its Affiliates to decrease marketing expenses for their games by more than 35% from their planned marketing expenses budget for that quarter, the Founders may make similar reductions consistent with those of Buyer and its Affiliates even if such reductions are below the allowance permitted under clauses (b) and (c) above (the “Special Permitted Decrease”).

(iii) Schedule 2.7(g)(iii) sets forth an example of the calculation of the Gap and Marketing Expenses deviation described above. The Buyer will review for each Earnout Quarter whether the Company is in deviation from the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements for such Earnout Quarter, and should the Company be in breach of the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements (i.e. actual Gap is lower than the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements), the following shall apply: the Founders shall have 1 Earnout Quarter to meet the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements applicable to such Earnout Quarter (the “First Grace Quarter”); in the event that (a) the Company meets the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements for such First Grace Quarter, the provisions of this Section 2.7(g)(iii) shall continue in accordance with their terms; (b) the actual Gap for First Grace Quarter is equal to or lower than the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements for First Grace Quarter by less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), then the Founders shall have an additional Earnout Quarter to meet the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements (the “Second Grace Quarter”), and if the Company fails to meet the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements for such Second Grace Quarter, from that point Buyer shall have sole discretion over Marketing Expenses for the rest of the Earnout Period; and (c) the actual Gap for First Grace Quarter is lower than the Minimum Quarterly Gap Requirements for First Grace Quarter by more than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), then the Buyer shall have sole discretion over Marketing Expenses for the rest of the Earnout Period.

 

-31-


(iv) Without derogating and in addition to the provisions of Section 2.7(g)(iii), in the event that (a) the actual Marketing Expenses for the fourth Earnout Quarter during the First Year Earnout Period reflect a shortfall of more than 35% relative to the First Year Allowed Budget for the fourth Earnout Quarter, or, if applicable, a shortfall from the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease (the portion of such shortfall exceeding 35% (or the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease, if applicable) shall be referred to as the “First Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall”); or (b) the actual Marketing Expenses for the First Year Earnout Period reflect a shortfall of more than 35% relative to the aggregate First Year Allowed Budget, or, if applicable, a shortfall from the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease (the portion of such shortfall exceeding 35% (or the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease, if applicable) shall be referred to as the “First Year Marketing Expenses Shortfall”); then the Adjusted EBITDA for that First Year Earnout Period shall be decreased by one dollar, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each dollar of the greater of the First Year Marketing Expenses Shortfall and the First Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall; and/or (c) the actual Marketing Expenses for the fourth Earnout Quarter during the Second Year Earnout Period reflect a shortfall of more than 33% relative to the actual Marketing Expenses in the third Earnout Quarter of the applicable Earnout Period year or, if applicable, a shortfall from the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease (the portion of such shortfall exceeding 33% (or the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease, if applicable) shall be referred to as the “Second Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall”) then the Adjusted EBITDA for that Second Year Earnout Period shall be decreased by one dollar, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each dollar of Second Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall; and/or (d) the actual Marketing Expenses for the fourth Earnout Quarter during the Third Year Earnout Period reflect a shortfall of more than 33% relative to the Marketing Expenses in the third Earnout Quarter of the applicable Earnout Period year or, if applicable, a shortfall from the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease (the portion of such shortfall exceeding 33% (or the amount permitted after giving effect to the Special Permitted Decrease, if applicable) shall be referred to as the “Third Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall”), then the Adjusted EBITDA for that Third Year Earnout Period shall be decreased by one dollar, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each dollar of Third Year Q4 Marketing Expenses Shortfall. Any adjustment of the Adjusted EBITDA, under this Section 2.7(g)(iv), shall apply for all purposes under this Agreement, including determining the entitlement to and the computation of the Earnout Amount for that year and any other applicable period in which the Adjusted EBITDA of that Earnout Period is used. Examples for the adjustment of the Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to the provisions of this Section2.7(g)(iv) is attached as Schedule 2.7(g)(iv) hereunder.

(v) If the Marketing Expenses for any Earnout Quarter of the First Year Earnout Period is greater than the First Year Allowed Budget of the corresponding quarter of such year (such amount in which the Marketing Expenses exceeds the First Year Allowed Budget of the corresponding quarter, referred to as the “Quarterly Excess Marketing Expenses” and the aggregate Quarterly Excess Marketing Expenses for the entire the First Year Earnout Period referred to as the “2025 Excess Marketing Expenses”), then each dollar of 2025 Excess Marketing Expenses will result in a corresponding reduction of three dollars ($3) in the Purchase Price (such adjustment amount being referred to as the “2025 Excess Marketing Expenses Adjustment Amount”). It is expressly clarified that each quarter is measured on a standalone basis, and no amounts shall be carried forward from one quarter to another. The 2025 Excess Marketing Expenses Adjustment Amount shall be recovered by the Buyer according to the following order (i) by way of set-off against the Pro Rata Share of the Company Securityholder’s Earnout Consideration (pursuant to procedure of Section 9.2(f) but without limitations in amount and/or other limitation under Section9.2(f)); (ii) against the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (iii) directly from Company Securityholder’s, but not more than the lower of (i) the Pro Rata Share of any Company Securityholder out of the 2025 Excess Marketing Expenses Adjustment Amount; (ii) and 100% of the Purchase Price paid to such Company Securityholder. Examples for the adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7(g)(v) is attached as Schedule2.7(g)(v).

 

-32-


(vi) Buyer will endeavor to offer long-term compensation to the Company’s employees and service providers who are hired following the Closing, with a value (but not necessarily the same type of long term compensation, other than in the event that such newly hired employee or service provider has not received an Retention Award) at such date that is substantially similar, when taken together with other components of compensation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Retention Award granted to such employee), to the long-term compensation offered at the same time to Buyer’s and its Affiliates newly hired employees and service providers holding similar positions in similar territory and market.

(h) Termination of the Founders. To the extent that following the Closing and until the end of the Earnout Period (the “Remaining Earnout Period”), the employment of any of the Founders will be terminated (i) by the Company, without Cause, or (ii) by such Founder for Good Reason (the “Terminated Founder”), the Buyer will pay the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders, other than the Terminated Founder and for such purpose the Pro-Rata Share pursuant to Allocation Statement shall be revised, in order to exclude such Terminated Founder), within 10 Business Days, an amount equal to ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) if one of the Founder’s employment was terminated pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, and additional amount of ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) if the second Founders employment was terminated pursuant to (i) or (ii) above. Company Securityholders undertake not to directly or indirectly transfer any portion of the compensation amounts paid pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7(h) to any Terminated Founder (or any of its Affiliates or immediate family members). The payments provided for in this Section are intended to be punitive and in addition to all other remedies available to the Company Securityholders in respect of a termination of a Founder pursuant to this Section.

(i) Ongoing Reporting. Buyer shall, at the request of the Representative, provide within a reasonable timeframe, quarterly data on the revenue, marketing and user acquisition spend and Company Gross Revenues and Earnout Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period requested during the Earnout Period to the extent such are available to the Buyer without requiring material time and effort. Any such information provided to the Representative shall be provided solely as a nonbinding estimation for indication purposes only, and the Buyer does not provide any warranty regarding the accuracy of such information. Company Securityholders waive any claim in connection with the provision of such information. In addition, it is acknowledged and agreed that each of the Founders shall be entitled to provide the Representative, monthly data on the revenue, marketing and user acquisition spend and Company Gross Revenues and Earnout Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period requested during the Earnout Period. Any such information provided to the Representative by the Founders shall not bind the Buyer for any intent and/or purpose. Company Securityholders waive any claim in connection with the provision of such information. Any information provided to the Representative under this Section 2.7(i) may be provided by the Representative, solely to the Sellers listed under Schedule 2.7(i).

(j) Optional Prepayment of Earnout. The Buyer shall have the option at any time during the Earnout Period, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Representative, to pay or cause to be paid to the Company Securityholders according to the provisions of Section 2.7(k) an amount in cash equal to any remaining amount, not previously paid by the Buyer out of the Maximum Earnout Consideration. Upon the payment of such amount, the Buyer shall be deemed to have satisfied in full its obligations to pay the Earnout and any provision, limitation, restriction, covenant or obligation applicable to the Buyer and/or the Buyer Group during the Earnout Period, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7, shall be terminated immediately and shall have no further force of effect.

(k) Earnout Reports and Payment of Earnout Consideration. Within 90 days following the end of the First Year Earnout Period, the Second Year Earnout Period, and the Third Year Earnout Period as applicable Buyer shall deliver to Representative a report setting forth the Gross Revenue, Earnout Adjusted EBITDA and the Earnout Adjusted EBITDA Margin, of the Company for the First Year Earnout Period, the Second Year Earnout Period or the Third Year Earnout Period, as applicable and Buyer’s

 

-33-


calculation of the Earnout Consideration (including for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of this Section 2.7(k), (a) addition of applicable Approved VAT; and (b) decrease of the Bankers Consideration and Bankers Escrow), due in respect of the applicable period (an “Earnout Report”). If Earnout Consideration is due as reflected in the Earnout Report, then Buyer shall pay Company Securityholders the applicable portion of the Earnout Consideration payable with respect to such period Fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery of the relevant Earnout Report to the Representative, such payment to be made to an account designated by the Paying Agent (and Escrow Agent with respect to the payment of the applicable Retained Amounts) for distribution by the Paying Agent to Company Securityholders in accordance with the Allocation Statement and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement. The payment of such amounts of cash to the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent (as appliable) shall be deemed the discharge of Buyer’s obligation to pay such portion of the Earnout Consideration to Company Securityholders. In the event that Representative disputes Buyer’s calculation of the Earnout Consideration as set forth in the Earnout Report, the provisions of Sections 2.6(c)(i)-2.6(c)(v) above shall apply to such dispute with the term “Closing Statement” being replaced with “Earnout Report” and the Earnout Consideration shall not be payable until the later of Fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery of the applicable Earnout Report or Fifteen (15) Business Days following the final determination of the Earnout Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.6(c)(i)-2.6(c)(v) above except the portion of the Earnout Consideration which is undisputed as reflected in Buyer’s Earnout Report shall be paid by Buyer within 10 Business Days following delivery of the relevant Earnout Report to the Representative notwithstanding the ongoing process for the final determination of the Earnout Consideration. In the event that the Buyer fails to pay any portion of the Earnout Consideration which became due and payable on the payment date set forth above (the “Payment Date”) (for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Earnout Consideration disputed by Buyer in good faith, such payment date shall be 15 Business Days following the final determination of the Earnout Consideration pursuant to the provisions referenced above), such unpaid portion of the Earnout Consideration shall bear an annual interest rate of 10% (increasing by 1.5% at the end of each 3-month period but up to a maximum annual interest rate of 16%) from the Payment Date until the payment of such portion of the Earnout Consideration (the “Annual Interest”). The Annual Interest has been negotiated as additional penalty interest for Buyer’s failure to timely pay the Earnout Consideration. Nothing herein shall limit the remedies available to the Company Securityholders in respect of a failure by Buyer to timely pay the Earnout Consideration, and Buyer shall be entitled to bring action to enforce this Agreement or seek full recovery of damages available under applicable Law (in addition to the Annual Interest).

2.8 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Each of the Buyer, Paying Agent, Section 102 Trustee and the Escrow Agent (each a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such amounts it is required to deduct and withhold under the ITO, the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law with respect to any Company Securityholder in accordance with this Section 2.8, and to request any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information, from the Company Securityholder or any other Person to whom a payment is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Amount withheld under this Agreement shall be deemed as part of the Purchase Price paid to Company’s Securityholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, with respect to Israeli Tax, prior to the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall provide Buyer with an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), and the aggregate consideration payable to each Company Securityholder hereunder at the Closing (excluding amounts held in the Escrow Fund and the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Amount), shall be paid to and retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of each

 

-34-


such Company Securityholder for a period of 180 days from Closing (or, with respect to the Escrow Amount, the Representative Expense Amount and the Earnout Consideration, 90 days following the date such amount is released) or an earlier date requested in writing by a Company Securityholder or as otherwise requested by the ITA (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time neither Buyer nor the Paying Agent shall withhold any Tax on such consideration, except as provided below or as requested in writing by the ITA), and during which time each Company Securityholder may obtain a Valid Certificate. In the event that no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Company Securityholder submits a Valid Certificate, in form and substance which is sufficient to enable Buyer and the Paying Agent to conclude that no withholding (or reduced withholding or the applicable withholding rate) of Israeli tax is required with respect to such payee and which is reasonably acceptable to each of the Buyer and the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall act in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate, subject to any deduction and withholding as may be required to be deducted and withheld under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (other than Israeli Tax Law, to the extent the Valid Certificate provides full exemption from Israeli Tax withholding) and the Paying Agent will pay to such Company Securityholder the balance of the payment due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld. If any Company Securityholder (A) does not provide Buyer or the Paying Agent with a Valid Certificate no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, or (B) submits a written request to Buyer or the Paying Agent to release his, her or its portion of the applicable consideration held by the Paying Agent prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Company Securityholder’s portion of the aggregate consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate in accordance with applicable Law, which amount shall be timely delivered or caused to be delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall pay to such Company Securityholder the balance of the payment due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by a Payor and paid over to the applicable Tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Securityholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The withholding Tax will be calculated in NIS based on a U.S. dollar to NIS exchange rate on the payment date. Any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable Company Securityholder and deducted from payments to be made to such Company Securityholder. This Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to payments made to holders of Company Options or to Section 102 Shares.

(c) Any payments made to holders of Company Options or of Section 102 Shares will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the ITO unless with respect to holders of Company Options and/or Section 102 Shares, the Employee Tax Ruling (or the interim Employee Tax Ruling) shall have been obtained before the 15th day of the month following the month during which the Closing occurs, which ruling shall provide that Buyer and the Paying Agent and anyone acting on their behalf shall be exempt from Israeli Tax withholding with respect to any of the payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such holders, and further instructing the Section 102 Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, on the withholding of Israeli tax on such payments. Any payments to be made to holders of Company Options that do not fall into this Section 2.8(c), shall not be made until such holder provides Buyer, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, with the applicable withholding amount in cash or an exemption from Tax withholding from the ITA. The withholding Tax will be calculated in NIS based on a U.S. dollar to NIS exchange rate on the payment date. Any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable Company Securityholder and deducted from payments to be made to such Company Securityholder.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares.

From and after the Closing Date and subject to the consummation of the Closing, the holders (other than Buyer or any transferee of Buyer) of Company Shares (listed as such under Company’s Share Register, immediately prior to the Closing) or Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall

 

-35-


cease to have any rights with respect to such shares or options, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Laws.

2.10 Further Assurances.

Buyer, the Company, each Seller and the Representative will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Restricted Party may own, directly or indirectly, (i) solely as an investment, or otherwise securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the Restricted Party is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 3% or more of any class of securities of such Person, (ii) securities of any Person engaged in the Company Business, solely as a passive investor, to the extent that such securities reflects no more than three percent (3%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of such Person, and (iii) securities that are currently held by such Restricted Party as reflected in Schedule 6.12 attached hereto.

any such relationship.

(d) If a Restricted Party breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.12, Buyer shall have the right to have such provision specifically enforced against such Restricted Party by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to the Buyer and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to the Buyer, which remedy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Buyer under law or in equity.

(e) From and after the Closing, no Restricted Party, nor any of its respective Affiliates, will make, or cause to be made, any statement (whether oral or written) that knowingly disparages the reputation or business of any of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.12 shall restrict any party hereto from enforcing its rights hereunder or from testifying truthfully in any Action.

The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 6.12 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 6.12 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer and/or the Company, the amount of which may be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at Law for any breach of this Section 6.12 may be inadequate. Therefore, Buyer and the Company will be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction against such Restricted Period or Seller, as applicable in the event of any breach of this Section 6.12 without the necessity of proving actual damage.

In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.12 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.12 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

The Buyer shall not cancel, modify, reduce or amend the R&W Insurance Policy and shall continue to honor its obligations thereunder in accordance with its terms.

(c) For the purpose of this ARTICLE IX, when determining the amount of Losses paid, sustained, suffered, incurred or accrued as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with, as applicable (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Seller in this Agreement (and by the Optionholders in the Optionee Undertaking) to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates), or (ii) any breach of, or failure by the Company to perform or comply with, any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement to be performed on or prior to Closing by such party, in any such case, any “materiality,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualification; provided, that each such qualification shall not be disregarded for the purposes of the initial determination of whether there was a failure of such representation or warranty to be true and correct, or a breach of, or failure to perform or comply with, any covenant or agreement, as foresaid.

(d) Nothing in the Agreement shall limit the right of an Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under and in accordance with any Related Agreement against the parties thereto (provided that matters subject to the indemnification rights specifically set forth herein shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Article IX including the limitation of liability set forth herein).

(e) The rights of Buyer to indemnification or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be impacted or limited by any knowledge that Buyer has or may have acquired, or could have acquired, whether before or after the Closing Date, nor by any investigation or diligence by or on behalf of Buyer except to the extent of any matters specifically set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (other than with respect to such matters specifically set forth in the Disclosure Schedule for information purposes only). The Indemnifying Party hereby acknowledges that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Buyer, and regardless of the results of any such investigation, Buyer has entered into this transaction in express reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers made in this Agreement (and the Optionholders made under the Optionee Undertaking) (in each case, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, other than for information purposes only).

(f) The set-off of any amounts from any Earnout Consideration which subsequently becomes due to Company Securityholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if and to the extent such set-off is permitted pursuant the other provisions of this Article IX or is explicitly permitted under any other provision of this Agreement (subject in case of set off under Article IX to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 below and the order of recovery set forth in Section 9.7 below) shall be subject to Buyer’s provision of written notice to the Representative detailing the amount and basis for the set-off (the “Set-off Notice”). The Representative and Buyer will then have two (2) weeks from the delivery of the Set-off Notice to negotiate and agree on the amount to be set-off from the Earnout Consideration. If an agreement is reached, the agreed amount may be deducted from the payment of any part of the Earnout Consideration. If no agreement is reached within the two-week period, the disputed amount will be deducted from the Earnout Consideration and will be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent, pending either a mutual agreement (with the Representative) or the final determination of the Arbitrator; provided, however, that the amount deducted from the Earnout Consideration under the provisions of ARTICLE IX shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted to be set-off pursuant to Section 9.3 and 9.7 below in respect of the applicable claim.

9.3 Indemnification Limitations.

(a) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum liability of each Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be as follows:

 

-91-


(i) indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of General Claims, shall, for each Indemnifying Party, be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount and, in the event that the R&W Insurance Policy and the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall not provide full recovery of such Losses, such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of up to an aggregate maximum amount (for all Indemnifying Parties) of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) from any payment of Earnout Consideration;

(ii) indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of Fundamental Claims and/or Losses resulting from or arising out of Sections 9.2(a)(ii)-(xi) (“Additional Fundamental Claims”) shall, for each Indemnifying Party, be limited to the lower of (A) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Losses and (B) 100% of the Purchase Price actually paid to such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (including, without duplication, such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of Indemnification Escrow Amount, Shareholders’ Representative Expense Amount and any Earnout Consideration which was paid or due to such Indemnifying Party);

(iii) indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of IP Claims shall, for each Indemnifying Party, be limited to the lower of (A) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Losses and (B) 30% of the Purchase Price actually paid to such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (including, without duplication, such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of Indemnification Escrow Amount, Shareholders’ Representative Expense Amount and any Earnout Consideration which was paid or due to such Indemnifying Party);

(iv) indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of Company Fraud Claims shall, for each Indemnifying Party, be limited to the lower of (A) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Losses and (B) 100% of the Purchase Price actually paid to such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (including, without duplication, such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of Indemnification Escrow Amount, and Shareholders’ Representative Expense Amount and any Earnout Consideration which was paid or due to such Indemnifying Party);

(v) indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of (A) Section 9.2(b), shall not result in any liability to any Indemnifying Party except the specific Indemnifying Party whose actions or omissions are the subject of such indemnification claim for Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(b) (the “Responsible Indemnifying Party”), (B) Company Securityholder Fundamental Claims and claims under Section 9.2(b)(ii) (“Company Securityholder Covenant Claims”) shall be limited with respect to each Responsible Indemnifying Party at the Purchase Price actually paid to such Responsible Indemnifying Party (including, without duplication, such Responsible Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of Indemnification Escrow Amount, Shareholders’ Representative Expense Amount and any Earnout Consideration which was paid or due to such Indemnifying Party) and (C) Company Securityholder Fraud Claims shall not be subject to any limitation and instead the liability of each Responsible Indemnifying Party shall not be limited.

(b) Threshold. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Losses arising out of or in connection with Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the total amount of Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties for all such indemnification claims exceeds $1,500,000 with respect to claims which are not covered under the R&W Insurance Policy and $3,500,000 with respect to claims which covered under the R&W Insurance Policy (the “Threshold”), following which, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties from the first dollar; provided, however, that indemnification for Losses as a result of or arising out of Company Fraud Claims, Company Securityholder Fraud claims, Fundamental Claims and Company Securityholder Fundamental Claims shall not be subject to the Threshold and shall not count towards the Threshold.

 

-92-


(c) Additional Limitations. No Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification for any Losses relating to any matter arising under the provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any such Indemnified Party or its successors and assigns had already recovered or otherwise had been reimbursed with respect to the same matter and such Losses in full pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the above shall limit an Indemnified Party or its successors and assigns to recover or otherwise to be reimbursed for different Losses in connection with the same matter). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) all Losses under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation or warranty, provided that all Losses, whether constituting a breach of more than one representation or warranty or not are fully recovered, (iii) the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement arising out of, and the amount of any Losses recoverable shall not be increased as a result of, any changes after the Closing Date in applicable Law or GAAP.

(d) Mitigation. Upon any Indemnified Party becoming aware of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall utilize reasonable efforts, consistent with normal policies and good commercial practice, to mitigate the Losses which would reasonably be expected to result from such claim.

(e) Insurance. In the event the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification directly from the Indemnifying Parties (i.e., excluding the R&W Insurance Policy), the recovery by the Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall be net of any reimbursement actually recovered by such Indemnified Parties from any insurance carrier (including the R&W Insurance Policy) (provided that increase of premium amount due to such insurance recovery shall be added to the indemnified amounts) in connection with the Losses that form the basis of the Indemnified Parties’ claim for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties and their Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assert any rights or make any claim or demand under any such insurance policy relating to any indemnification claim that results in or would reasonably be expected to result in a payment relating thereto.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of Losses that are the subject of an indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Losses have been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX (other than the R&W Insurance Policy, the recovery from which is governed by Section 9.7), the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party (other than the R&W Insurance Policy proceeds), the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses, plus the amount actually received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Losses (it being understood that such amounts shall not exceed the amount received by such Indemnified Party for such Losses).

(g) Tax Benefits. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of Tax benefits actually realized or received by the Indemnified Party arising from the deductibility of any such Losses to the extent realized or received in the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred. If an Indemnified Party realizes or receives any such Tax benefit after payment of any Loss, the Indemnitee shall promptly remit to the Indemnified Party such amount, less any amounts incurred by Indemnified Party in order to receive such Tax benefit.

(h) Timing of Claims. Any claim for indemnity hereunder shall (if not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn by the Indemnified Party making such claim unless legal proceedings (including without limitation arbitration) or active settlement discussions in respect of such claim have been commenced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within twelve (12) months of notification to the Indemnifying Party; provided that the foregoing shall not limit a claim for indemnity related to a Third Party Claim or a claim made to receive proceeds from the R&W Insurance

 

-93-


Policy, for which, as of the end of such twelve (12) month period, the Indemnified Party is engaged in active settlement discussions or any other proceedings with the third party or any insurer with respect to such Third Party Claim or the R&W Insurance Policy.

(i) Equitable Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any party hereto to apply for specific performance or equitable remedies.

(j) R&W Insurance Policy. Nothing set forth in this Article IX (including this Section 9.3) shall in any way limit or modify the rights with respect to, or ability of the Indemnified Parties to make claims under or recover under, the R&W Insurance Policy.

9.4 Indemnification Claims Procedures.

(a) An Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) by delivering a written certificate (a “Claim Certificate”), to the Representative, with a copy to the R&W Insurer (if and to the extent that such Losses are or would reasonably be expected to be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy) and the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is or may seek recourse against the Indemnification Escrow Fund), and to one or more Indemnifying Parties (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is seeking recourse directly against any such Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties), (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, suffered or incurred (or in good faith reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, suffer or incur) indemnifiable Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items and amounts of indemnifiable Losses (to the extent known), and (iii) a description, in reasonable detail, of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to such alleged indemnifiable Losses, including (A) the basis for such anticipated liability and the nature of the breach to which such Losses relate, (B) the identity of any third party claimant (if any) and (C) copies of any formal demand or complaint from any third party claimant (if any); provided, however, that the Claim Certificate may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate. The Claim Certificate shall be delivered by the Indemnified Party reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of a claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Certificate shall relieve any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby in terms of any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party or the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties.

(b) Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Representative shall have 45 calendar days to object to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth therein by delivering written notice thereof (a “Claim Objection Notice”) to Buyer, with a copy to the R&W Insurer (if and to the extent that such Losses are or would reasonably be expected to be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy) and the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is or may seek recourse against the Indemnification Escrow Fund in connection with Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b)). In the event that the Representative shall fail to object, pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), to any indemnifiable Losses set forth in a Claim Certificate within the foregoing 45 calendar day period, the Representative shall be deemed to have agreed and consented (for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) to such non-objected indemnifiable Losses (“Deemed Losses”). Upon the expiration of such 45 calendar day period, Indemnified Party and Representative shall recover the Deemed Losses from the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent applicable. If any portion of the Deemed Losses is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise remains unpaid under the R&W Insurance Policy, Buyer and the Representative shall, unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration (subject to the set-off conditions in this Agreement), deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions requiring the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnification Escrow Fund and

 

-94-


deliver to Buyer an amount of cash equal to such unpaid portion of the Deemed Losses, and, (i) if the claim set forth in such Claim Certificate is for an IP Claim, Special Claim, Additional Claim, a Fundamental Claim, Additional Fundamental Claim or a Company Fraud Claim, and the unpaid portion of the Deemed Losses relating thereto exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund and available for set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration, then subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid to Buyer or the other applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to such excess (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3), in any case, which shall be paid in satisfaction of such Deemed Losses or (ii) if the claim set forth in such Claim Certificate is for a Company Securityholder Fraud Claim, Company Securityholder Fundamental Claim or Company Securityholder Covenant Claims, and the unpaid portion of the Deemed Losses relating thereto exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund that is attributable to applicable Responsible Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share thereof, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Responsible Indemnifying Party shall promptly cause to be paid to (unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration (as permitted under Section 9.2(f)) Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Deemed Losses in excess of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund on such date (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3).

(c) In the event that the Representative delivers a Claim Objection Notice pursuant to Section 9.4(b) hereof as to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth in any Claim Certificate, the Representative and Buyer, on behalf of all Indemnified Parties, shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims objected to in such Claim Objection Notice for a period of 30 days after delivery of the Claim Objection Notice by the Representative. If the Buyer, on behalf of all Indemnified Parties, and the Representative should so agree, a written memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Buyer and the Representative and, in the case of a claim in whole or in part against the R&W Insurance Policy Indemnified Party and Representative shall recover agreed indemnifiable Losses amounts from the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent applicable. If any portion of such agreed indemnifiable Losses is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise remains unpaid under the R&W Insurance Policy, such agreement and details of the remaining unpaid amount under R&W Insurance Policy, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Indemnification Escrow Fund and deliver to Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party an amount of cash equal to the unpaid portion of the indemnifiable Losses so agreed and, (i) if the claim that is the subject of such written memorandum is for an IP Claim, Special Claim, Additional Claim, Fundamental Claim, Additional Fundamental Claim or a Company Fraud Claim, and the unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses relating thereto exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid to (unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration (as permitted under Section 9.2(e))) Buyer or the other applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses in excess of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund on such date (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3), in any case, which shall be paid in satisfaction of such unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses or (ii) if the claim set forth in such Claim Certificate is for a Company Securityholder Fraud Claim, Company Securityholder Fundamental Claim or Company Securityholder Covenant Claim, and the unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses relating thereto exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund that is attributable to applicable Responsible Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share thereof, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Responsible Indemnifying Party shall promptly cause to be paid to (unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration (as permitted under Section 9.2(e))) Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses in excess of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund on such date (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3), which shall be paid in satisfaction of such unpaid portion of the agreed indemnifiable Losses.

 

-95-


(d) Should Buyer and the Representative be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or Loss or Losses specified in the Claim Objection Notice within the time periods specified in Section 9.4(c), then the Indemnified Party shall recover the Losses specified in the Claim Objection Notice from the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent applicable. If any portion of the Losses specified in the Claim Objection Notice is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise remains unpaid under the R&W Insurance Policy, the Buyer and the Representative, shall act to resolve the dispute, with respect to any portion of the Losses specified in the Claim Objection Notice which were not paid under the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with Section 11.11, Upon receipt of such arbitration award setting forth the resolution of such dispute, then, if requested by Buyer, Buyer and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days following receipt, joint written instructions executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party, out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, an amount equal to the indemnifiable Losses so determined, and (i) if the claim that is the subject of such written memorandum is for an IP Claim, Special Claim, Additional Claim, a Fundamental Claim, Additional Fundamental Claim or a Company Fraud Claim, and the indemnifiable Losses so determined exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid to (unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Indemnification Earnout Consideration (as permitted under Section 9.2(e))) Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the indemnifiable Losses so determined in excess of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund on such date (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3), in any case, which shall be paid in satisfaction of such indemnifiable Losses so determined or (ii) if the claim set forth in such Claim Certificate is for a Company Securityholder Fraud Claim, Company Securityholder Fundamental Claim or Company Securityholder Covenant Claims, and the indemnifiable Losses so determined exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund that is attributable to applicable Responsible Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share thereof, subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX, the Responsible Indemnifying Party shall promptly cause to be paid to (unless such amount was set-off by the Buyer out of any Earnout Consideration (as permitted under Section 9.2(e))) Buyer or the applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the indemnifiable Losses so determined in excess of the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund on such date (up to the maximum indemnifiable amount pursuant to Section 9.3), which shall be paid in satisfaction of such indemnifiable Losses so determined.

9.5 Third-Party Claims.

In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes, in good faith, may result in an indemnification claim for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Representative in writing (and, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of such Third Party Claim (the “Third Party Claim Notice”), which shall state in reasonable detail the facts, circumstances and events relating to the Third Party Claim and copies of all documents relating thereto; provided, however, that the Third Party Claim Notice may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Third Party Claim Notice. The Third Party Claim Notice shall be delivered by the Indemnified Party reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering a Third Party Claim Notice shall relieve any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby in terms of any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party or the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated

 

-96-


to indemnify the Indemnified Parties. The Representative on behalf of Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, with counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, unless the Third Party Claim (1) alleges criminal conduct or involves criminal penalties, (2) requested remedy includes or may reasonable include an injunction or equitable relief against a Indemnified Party, (3) if the estimated Losses related to such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to exceed the maximum indemnifiable amount relating to such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article IX, (4) alleging that the operation of the Company’s business or the development, marketing, distribution, import or sale of any product developed by the Company prior to the Closing Date, by the Buyer or its Affiliates infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights of any third party or, (5) related to any Tax matter, (6) involving the Sellers, Company Optionholders or any of their Affiliates as a party if counsel to the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would give rise to a conflict of interest and; (7) is a Special Claim, (8) is an Additional Claim, all provided, however, that the Representative may only assume control of such defense if (x) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that Losses that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim shall constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party (and not by the R&W Insurance Policy) (the “Undertaking to Indemnify”), and (y) the assumption of the defense by the Representative shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject to indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has the right to defend the Third Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing and affirmatively elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall, within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. Such notice shall include the Undertaking to Indemnify. The Representative must take reasonable steps to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard. The Representative will not consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Order or proposed settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of all liability of each Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, and (ii) involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnified Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to (or is not eligible hereunder to) defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, and the costs of such defense, negotiation, and settlement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be Losses indemnifiable hereunder. In such case, the Indemnifying Party shall have a right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict exists on a material issue between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.5 to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, provided however that the Buyer may settle such Third Party Claim without such consent but such settlement shall not be determinative of the amount of indemnifiable Losses (except to the extent such consent was unreasonably withheld or delayed); or (B) permit a default or consent to entry of

 

-97-


any judgment. The Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or only if such settlement (1) is solely for money damages that will be satisfied solely by the Indemnifying Party as indemnifiable Losses hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (2) provides, in customary form, for the irrevocable full, unconditional, and complete release of each Indemnitee(s) from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (3) the Indemnified Party is not required to admit guilt or liability or incur any financial or other obligation relating to such matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment, in each case, with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

9.6 Escrow Fund.

At the Closing, Buyer, the Representative and the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, and, at the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The General Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The General Indemnification Escrow Fund 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. No later than two (2) Business Days after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and the Representative shall deliver a joint letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay and distribute to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders) an amount equal to the remaining General Indemnification Escrow Fund; provided, however, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all contested amounts subject to a Claims Certificate shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until the relevant matters are finally resolved in accordance with Section 11, in which event Buyer and the Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to make a distribution from the Escrow Account of the funds remaining in the Escrow Account applicable to such contested amount consistent with such final resolution no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such final resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, until release thereof, the General Escrow Fund may be used for payment of the Special Claim and/or the Additional Claim that exceeds their relevant escrow fund (i.e. Special Escrow Fund and/or the Additional Escrow Fund, respectively), provided however that the release of the General Escrow Fund at the second anniversary of the Closing Date, shall exclude, (a) any amount under an outstanding Claim Certificate with respect to a Special Claim, in excess of the Special Escrow Fund, at such date; (b) any amount under an outstanding Claim Certificate with respect to an Additional Claim, in excess of the Additional Escrow Fund, at such date, all provided that such Claim Certificate relates to Special or Additional Claim Matter (as defined under Schedule 9.6). The Special Escrow Fund, shall be released pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 9.6 and the Escrow Agreement.

9.7 Payment of Claims.

In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth in this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnified Parties shall as a first recourse recover Losses from the R&W Insurance Policy (to the extent such claim is covered or would reasonably be expected to be covered under the R&W Insurance Policy).

Fund, (ii) second, by way of set-off against the Pro Rata Share of the Company Securityholder’s Earnout Consideration (if such set-off is agreed pursuant to Section 9.2(f)) and (iii) directly from the Indemnifying Parties, provided however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary under ARTICLE IX (including without limitation under Sections 9.4(b),(c) and (d)), with respect to any indemnifiable Losses attributed to a Responsible Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party that filed the Claim Certificate will be entitled to recover the indemnifiable Losses attributed to the Responsible Indemnifying Party from (i) R&W Insurance Policy and (ii) with respect to claims which are not covered or reasonably be expected to be covered under the R&W Insurance Policy or where the Losses exceed the coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy and the Indemnifying Parties are responsible for such excess (subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX), the recourses detailed under (i)-(iii) above, at the order elected by the Buyer, at its sole discretion).

9.8 Exclusive Remedy.

Following the Closing, other than the provisions of Section 2.6, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to any and all claims arising in connection with the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Optionee Undertaking will be pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article IX hereof and subject to the limitations set forth herein.

9.9 Representative.

(a) Each of the Indemnifying Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints, effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Representative for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties to, after the Closing: (i) execute, as Representative, this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; (ii) give and receive notices, instructions, and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, for and on behalf of any Indemnifying Party, to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Indemnifying Party individually); (iii) authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims for indemnifiable Losses by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and consent or agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims for indemnifiable Losses; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and consent or agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims for indemnifiable Losses, resolve any such claims for indemnifiable Losses, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by court, arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement; (v) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties; (vi) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnifying Parties after the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein; and (vii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative, including with respect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6; in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance; provided, however, that the Representative shall not have the authority to agree to the resolution or settlement of any claim: (i) that involves any obligation, restriction or agreement other than the payment of monetary damages out of

 

-99-


the Escrow Fund, (ii) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Indemnifying Parties (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, discrimination between or among Indemnifying Parties solely on the basis of the respective number of Company Securities held by each Indemnifying Party or their respective Pro Rata Share); (iii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Representative may appoint the Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf of the Representative, and all references to the Representative in such event shall include also such Indemnifying Party; or (iv) that would or could result in an increase of any Indemnifying Party’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations), without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Advisory Committee (as defined below). The Representative may be changed by the Company Securityholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that the Representative may not be removed unless the Company Securityholders holding least a majority of the interest of the Escrow Fund agree in writing to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Representative may be filled by the Company Securityholders holding a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. Notices or communications to or from the Representative after the Closing shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties. Each of the Escrow Agent and Buyer 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 Representative within its authority described above.

(b) All expenses, if any, incurred by the Representative in connection with the performance of its duties as the Representative will be borne and paid by the Indemnifying Parties according to their respective Pro Rata Share, which in the first instance shall be paid from the Representative Expense Amount and, if any amount of the Escrow Fund is to be returned to the Indemnifying Parties, the Representative shall have the right to recover any such expenses from such Escrow Funds.

(c) The Representative shall not be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any act done or omitted hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and Paying Agent Agreement while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted in accordance with the advice of counsel or other Expert (as defined in the Engagement Agreement between the Representative and the Advisory Committee) shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Indemnifying Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Representative, defend and hold the Representative harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) actually incurred by the Representative, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement or Paying Agent Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; except in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the funds in the Shareholders’ Representative Fund and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the Shareholders’ Representative Fund and the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

If (A) (i) this Agreement has been terminated by the Company or Buyer on the Outside Date pursuant to Section 10.1(b), due to an Order permanently preventing or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which relates to a failure to obtain the necessary clearances, approvals or authorizations under Antitrust Laws of the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 6.5(c), on or prior to the Outside Date (the “Anti-Trust Condition”) (except where (a) the Company’s or Company’s Securityholder’s action or failure to act has been a material cause of or resulted in the failure to attain such Anti-Trust Condition before the Outside Date; or (b) the Company’s business and/or activities prior to the Closing, has been a material cause for failure to attain such Anti-Trust Condition before the Outside Date) and (ii) at the Outside Date all of conditions to closing set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2 shall have been satisfied or validly waived by the Buyer, other than the conditions to closing set under Section 8.1(b) and (iii) at such termination date set under (A)(i) above, the Company or Buyer were entitled to terminate this Agreement also pursuant to Section 10.1(c); or (B) (i) this Agreement has been terminated by the Company on the Outside Date pursuant to Section 10.1(b), due to Buyer’s failure to fulfil the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 (in whole or in part) (provided that the Buyer’s failure to provide the Deliverables under Section 8.3(b) for such purpose shall include copies executed solely by the Buyer (and not by the Paying Agent or Escrow Agent)), within ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of a notice from the Company that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) (‘Antitrust Matters’) as well as all other closing conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 have been all satisfied, (ii) at the Outside Date all of the conditions to closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall have been satisfied or validly waived by the Buyer, and (iii) at such termination date set under (B)(i) above, the Company or Buyer were entitled to terminate this Agreement also pursuant to Section 10.1(b), then the Buyer shall pay, a termination fee in the amount of ten million Dollar ($10,000,000) payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company within 10 Business Days of such termination. Payment of the termination fee shall not excuse Buyer’s breach (in case such beach has occurred), and the Company Securityholders shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available under applicable Law in respect of such breach in addition to the termination fee.

11.4 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Related Agreements, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
