 Exhibit 10.2 

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST 

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AND OUTPERFORMANCE UNIT 

AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This RESTRICTED
SHARE UNIT AND OUTPERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Award Agreement”) is effective as of the 12th day of May, 2021 (the “Grant Date”) and is between Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust
(the “Trust”), and Joseph F. Coradino (the “Grantee”). Any capitalized term used in this Award Agreement that is not separately defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the attached Appendix A. Intending to be legally
bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Restricted Share Units. 

(a) RSU Base Units. The Grantee is hereby awarded a number of “RSU Base Units” initially equal to 800,323
Restricted Share Units. 
 (b) DERs Included. Each RSU Base Unit will also include a DER. If the Company pays a cash
dividend on its Shares while the RSU Base Units are outstanding, the Grantee will be credited with a number of additional Restricted Stock Units equal to (1) the product of (i) dollar amount of dividends paid on one actual Share on the
applicable dividend payment date (the “Dividend Date”), multiplied by (ii) the Grantee’s outstanding RSU Base Units as of the Dividend Date, divided by (2) the Share Value. Any additional RSU Base Units credited in
accordance with this paragraph will be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms and conditions as the original RSU Base Units to which they relate. Such additional RSU Base Units will also include DERs, which will be applied in the same
manner (thereby increasing the Grantee’s RSU Base Units on a cumulative basis). 
 2. Outperformance Units. 

(a) Outperformance Unit Award. The Grantee is hereby awarded a number of outperformance units (“Outperformance
Units or OPUs”) initially equal to the number of RSU Base Units set forth in Section 1(a), above. To the extent the performance goals set forth in Section 2(c) (the “Performance Goals”) are achieved, the Grantee shall be
entitled to receive the value of a number of Shares determined based on the number of OPUs outstanding and the applicable Performance Multiplier, as further described in Section 2(d). 

(b) DERs Included. Each OPU will also include a DER. If the Company pays a cash dividend on its Shares on or prior to
the last day of the Measurement Period and while the OPUs are outstanding, the Grantee will be credited with a number of additional OPUs equal to (1) the product of (i) dollar amount of dividends paid on one actual Share on the applicable
Dividend Date, multiplied by (ii) the Grantee’s outstanding OPUs as of the Dividend Date, divided by (2) the Share Value. Any additional OPUs credited in accordance with this paragraph will be subject to the same performance, payment
and other terms and conditions as the original OPUs to which they relate. Such additional OPUs will also include DERs, which will be applied in the same manner (thereby increasing the Grantee’s OPUs on a cumulative basis). 

 (c) Performance Goals. The Committee has established Threshold,
Target, Above-Target and Outperformance Performance Goals for the OPUs which are based on the Share Price on the last day of the Measurement Period. For this purpose, “Share Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of one Share
on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (or, if not then listed on the NYSE, on the principal market or quotation system on which then traded) for the 60 days on which Shares were traded prior to and including the last day of the
Measurement Period; provided, however, in the event of a of the Business Combination described in paragraph (3) or (4) of the definition of Change in Control, Share Price upon the closing of such Business Combination shall mean the final price
per Share agreed upon by the parties to the Business Combination. 
 (d) Determination of Number of Earned OPUs. As of
the last day of the Measurement Period, the Grantee will be deemed to have earned the number of OPUs (“Earned OPUs”) based upon the level of achievement of the Share Price set forth below; provided that in the event the Trust’s
performance does not meet the Threshold level of achievement, no OPUs will be deemed earned. The total number of Earned OPUs shall be calculated by the Committee and shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of number of OPUs outstanding
(taking into account both in the initial number of OPUs granted pursuant to Section 2(a) and any additional OPUs credited pursuant to the DER provision of Section 2(b)), multiplied by (B) the applicable Performance Multiplier. The
Performance Multiplier shall be based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goal, in accordance with the following chart: 
  

									
	 	  	Level of
Achievement of
Share Price	 	  	Performance
Multiplier(1)	 
	 Outperformance
	  	$	6.25 or more	 	  	 	1.25x	 
	 Above-Target
	  	$	5.50	 	  	 	1.00x	 
	 Target
	  	$	4.75	 	  	 	0.75x	 
	 Threshold
	  	$	4.00	 	  	 	0.50x	 
	 Below Threshold
	  	< $	4.00	 	  	 	0.00x	 

  

	(1)	 For performance above Threshold, Performance Multiplier between levels of share price determined by linear
interpolation

 3. Vesting of RSUs. The Grantee shall vest in the RSU Base Units in accordance with the vesting
schedule below provided that the Grantee is employed by the Trust on the applicable vesting date indicated below (each, an “RSU Vesting Date”): 
  

					
	 RSU Vesting Date
	  	 Number of RSU Base Units
	  	                                  
          
	March 31, 2022	  	1/3 of the then outstanding RSU Base Units	  	
			
	March 31, 2023	  	1/2 of the then outstanding RSU Base Units	  	
			
	March 31, 2024	  	All the RSU Base Units then remaining outstanding	  	

 4. Termination of Service. If the Grantee’s service with the Trust ceases for any reason, then except as otherwise
provided in the Grantee’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Trust dated as of May 12, 2021, any then unvested RSU Base Units and any OPUs for which the Measurement Period is not then complete will be forfeited
automatically without any payment from the Trust. 
 5. Settlement of Vested RSUs and Earned OPUs. 

(a) Vested RSUs. Within 70 days following an RSU Vesting Date, the Trust shall pay to the Grantee an amount in cash
equal to the Share Value on the applicable RSU Vesting Date multiplied by the number of RSU Base Units that became vested on such date, less required withholding. 

(b) Earned OPUs. Within 70 days following the completion of the Measurement Period, the Trust shall pay to the Grantee
an amount in cash equal to the Share Value on the last day of the Measurement Period multiplied by the number of Earned OPUs, less required withholding. 

6. No Rights as a Shareholder. The Grantee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the RSUs or OPUs awarded under this Award
Agreement. 
 7. Transferability. The Grantee may not, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, assign or transfer his or her RSUs,
OPUs or any rights hereunder. 
 8. Withholding of Taxes. Payments made with respect to this Award Agreement will be subject to tax withholding to the
extent required by law. 
 9. Administration. This Award Agreement will be administered by the Committee. Each member of the Committee, while serving
as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his or her capacity as a trustee of the Trust. Acts approved by a majority of the members of the Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts without a meeting reduced to or approved in writing by a

majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. The Committee is hereby authorized to interpret this Award Agreement and decide any questions and settle any
controversies that may arise in connection with it. Such determinations and actions of the Committee, and all other determinations and actions of the Committee made or taken hereunder, shall be conclusive and shall bind all parties. 

10. Adjustments; Certain Corporate Transactions. 

(a) In the event of a corporate event or transaction such as a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, stock dividend or other similar event or transaction affecting the Shares or the capitalization of the Trust, the Committee will make equitable adjustments to the Performance Goals and/or the number of
RSUs and OPUs subject hereto. 
 (b) To the extent that this award does not become payable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the
Committee may, in its discretion, arrange to have the surviving or acquiring entity (or an affiliate thereof) assume this award or grant to the Grantee a replacement or substitute award which, in the judgment of the Committee, is substantially
equivalent to this award. 
 11. Conversion to Plan Award. To the extent sufficient Shares are or become available under a shareholder approved equity
plan of the Trust and the terms of this award are otherwise consistent with the terms of such equity plan (the “Equity Plan”), the Committee may at any time in its discretion convert this award to an award under the Equity Plan and settle
this award in Shares rather than cash. In that case: (a) one Share will be issuable in respect of any vested RSU Base Unit or Earned OPU, as applicable, and (b) any Share issued in settlement of this award (as converted) will be subject to
any minimum holding period requirement that is applicable under the Equity Plan to executive officers generally. Then, except for such changes as the Committee deems necessary to reflect the change in the form of payment and ministerial changes to
reflect the terms of the Equity Plan, the other terms of this award will unchanged. 
 12. Recoupment Policy. The Grantee hereby agrees that any
amount delivered under this Award Agreement shall be subject to recoupment or clawback under the Trust’s “Recoupment Policy” and any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, in each case as in
effect from time to time. 
 13. Beneficiary Designation. The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payments due under this award (if any) in
the event of the Grantee’s death before the full payment of such amounts. Any beneficiary designation shall be substantially in the form set forth in Appendix B attached hereto and shall be effective only when filed with the Trust during the
Grantee’s lifetime. Any beneficiary designation may be changed by the Grantee without the consent of any previously designated beneficiary or any other person by the filing of a new beneficiary designation with the Trust. The filing of a new
beneficiary designation shall cancel all beneficiary designations previously filed. If the Grantee fails to designate a beneficiary in the manner provided above, or if the beneficiary designated by the Grantee predeceases the Grantee, the Trust
shall direct payment hereunder (if any) to the Grantee’s surviving spouse or, if the Grantee has no surviving spouse, then to the Grantee’s estate.

 14. Employment Rights. This award will not confer on the Grantee any right to continued employment or
affect in any way the right of the Trust to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, for any reason.

Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and its interpretation shall be governed by, applicable federal law and otherwise by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to the principles of the conflict of laws). 

16. Electronic Delivery of Documents. The Grantee hereby authorizes the Trust to deliver electronically any prospectuses or other documentation related
to this award and any other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, reports, proxy statements or other documents that are required to be delivered to participants in such plans or
arrangements pursuant to federal or state laws, rules or regulations). For this purpose, electronic delivery will include, without limitation, delivery by means of e-mail or

Consequences; Plan of Reorganization; Tax Reporting.
The Parties intend that the purchase of the Purchased Assets

that the receipt of all Recruiter Common Stock shall qualify as tax
free consideration for the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section
361(a) of the Code. The Parties shall file all Tax Returns required
by Law consistent with such treatment, except as otherwise required
by final determination of a Tax authority. By executing this
Agreement, the parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan
of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g)
and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Recruiter makes no representations or warranties to
Scouted regarding the Tax treatment of the transaction contemplated
hereby, or any of the Tax consequences to Scouted, the Shareholders
or other security holders of Scouted, under this Agreement or any
of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby.
Scouted acknowledges that it is relying solely on Scouted’s
own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the other
transactions and agreements contemplated hereby. Neither Scouted,
Recruiter, Newco, nor any of their Affiliates, has taken, shall
take or agreed to take any action, or shall refrain from taking any

transactions contemplated hereby from constituting a reorganization
qualifying under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code.

 

Section 2.11 Third
Party Consents. To the extent that Scouted’s
rights under any Assigned Contract, or any other Purchased Asset,

which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an
agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would
constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Scouted, at its
expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such
consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would
be ineffective or would impair Newco’s rights under the
Purchased Asset in question so that Newco would not in effect
acquire the benefit of all such rights, Scouted, to the maximum
extent permitted by law and such Purchased Asset, shall act after
the Closing as Newco’s agent in order to obtain for it the
benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent
permitted by Law and such Purchased Asset, with Newco in any other
reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to
Newco.

Laws administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury
Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
(“OFAC”). Since
January 1, 2017, Scouted has not been a party to any Contract, nor
has Scouted been engaged in, any transaction or other business,
directly or indirectly, with any Governmental Authority or other
Person that appears on any list of OFAC-sanctioned parties
(including any Person that appears on OFAC’s Specially
Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List), is owned or
controlled by such a Person, or is located or organized in any
country or territory that is subject to comprehensive OFAC
sanctions (an “OFAC
Prohibited Party”). Neither Scouted nor any of the
directors, or officers of Scouted is an OFAC Prohibited Party or is

Person, means the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management or policies of such Person, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and
“controlled” have correlative meanings.

Section 6.01 Certain Tax
Matters.

 

(a)       Scouted
will be responsible for preparing and filing property (whether real
or personal) and similar Tax Returns (“Property Tax Returns”) with
respect to the Purchased Assets for Tax periods ending on or before
the Closing Date, and will make all payments required with respect
to each such Tax Return. Newco will be responsible for preparing
and filing all Property Tax Returns for the Purchased Assets for
all periods commencing after the Closing Date and will make all
payments required with respect to each such Tax Return. In the case
of any Property Tax Return that covers a period that begins on or
before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a
“Straddle
Period”), the Taxes payable (i) by Scouted, shall be
equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period
from the commencement of the Straddle Period through and including
the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of
days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) by Newco, shall be
equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period
from the day following the Closing Date through and including the
last day of the Straddle Period, and the denominator of which is
the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Newco and Scouted
shall timely pay, or reimburse the other, for any Taxes properly
payable by such party for a Straddle Period pursuant hereto. Newco
and Scouted shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably
requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax
Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any audit, Action or other
proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon a party’s request) the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such
audit, Action or other proceeding, making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder, and timely
notification of receipt of any notice of an audit or notice of
deficiency relating to any Tax or Tax Return with respect to which
the non-recipient may have Liability hereunder.

and conveyance Taxes and fees, and similar transfer Taxes arising
from or relating to the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, and Scouted shall file or cause to be filed all
necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such
Taxes. To the extent practicable, Scouted shall deliver all of the
Purchased Assets through electronic delivery or in another manner
reasonably calculated and legally permitted to minimize or avoid
the incurrence of transfer and sales Taxes if such method of
delivery does not adversely affect the condition, operability or
usefulness of any Purchased Asset. For the avoidance of doubt,
Scouted shall be solely responsible for any and all income, gross
receipts, and similar Taxes of Scouted for all periods (whether
before or after the Closing), and Scouted shall be solely
responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns relating
thereto. At the reasonable request of Newco, Scouted will certify

Agreement executed by Scouted and each Scouted Indemnitor, the form
of which is attached as Exhibit H (the
“Joinder
Agreement”). Under the Joinder Agreement, Scouted
shall transfer the Recruiter Common Stock issued pursuant to this
Agreement to each Scouted Indemnitor who shall agree to indemnify
Newco and Recruiter in accordance with the terms of Section 8.02
hereof on a pro rata basis based on a fraction in which the
numerator is the number of shares of Recruiter Common Stock
transferred to such Scouted Indemnitor and the denominator is the
number of shares of Recruiter Common Stock issued under this
Agreement. For clarification, assuming $100,000 of Losses and 10
recipients of the Recruiter Common Stock issued under this
Agreement (including the Scouted Indemnitors), each of whom
received 10% of such Recruiter Common Stock, under the Joinder
Agreement each such Person shall be liable for up to $10,000 of
such Losses based on the Share Consideration Price Per Share of the
Recruiter Common Stock received by such Person. Each of Recruiter
and Newco agree to enforce the indemnification provisions contained
herein in a manner that is consistent with such Joinder
Agreement.

 

(d)       Each
Indemnified Party must act promptly to avoid or mitigate any Losses
which it or any other Indemnified Party may suffer in consequence
of any fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim for
indemnification under this Agreement or likely to give rise to a
claim for indemnification under this Agreement and no Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to recover under this Agreement to the
extent of any Losses that could have been avoided but for the
Indemnified Party’s failure to avoid or mitigate such
Losses.

 

Section 8.05 Indemnification
Procedures. The party making a claim under this
Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party
against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is
referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

 

 

41

 

 

(a)      
Third Party Claims.
If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or
commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not
a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this
Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a
“Third Party
Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to
which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide
indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall
give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice
thereof, but in any event not later than 10 days after receipt of
such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such
prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced. Such notice by
the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in
reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written
evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if
reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be
sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to
the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party
Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the
Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, such counsel to be
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In
the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any
Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the
right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute,
defend or appeal any such Third Party Claim in the name and on
behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim
with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying
Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a
conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party that cannot be waived; the Indemnifying Party
shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to
the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to
compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly
notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend
as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the
defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may,
subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third
Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based
upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Scouted,
on the one hand, and Recruiter and Newco, on the other hand, shall
cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection
with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making
available records relating to such Third Party Claim and
furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual
out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management
employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary
for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. In no
event shall the Indemnifying Party also be liable for local counsel
selected at the request of the Indemnified Party. If
indemnification is sought against Scouted or the Scouted
Indemnitors, the Scouted Representative may direct the control of
the Third Party Claim.

 

(b)       Settlement
of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into
settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this
Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party
Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial
or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and
provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each
Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in
connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may
settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm
offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party
has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a) (including,
without limitation, where the Indemnified Party is defending
pursuant to Section 8.05(a)), it shall not agree to any settlement
without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

 

 

42

 

 

(c)      
Direct Claims. Any
Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not
result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted
by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably
prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30
days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct
Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not,
however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall
describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include
copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate
the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that
has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such
notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified
Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional
advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give
rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount
is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party
shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving
such information and assistance (including access to
Scouted’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and
copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party
or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the
Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period,
the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim,
in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such
remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms
and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.06 Payments.

 

(a)       Once
a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally
adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII by a
non-appealable judgment issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction, indemnification payments made pursuant to Section
8.02 shall be satisfied, at the election of the Scouted
Indemnitors, against the Share Consideration, based on the Share
Consideration Price Per Share, or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by Scouted and the Scouted Indemnitors to an
account designated in writing by the Recruiter Indemnitee.
Indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 8.03 shall be
satisfied by wire transfer of immediately available funds by
Recruiter Indemnifying Party to an account designated in writing by
the Scouted Representative.

 

(b)       Any
amount payable by Scouted to a Recruiter Indemnitee with respect to
a Loss shall be reduced by the amount of any net insurance proceeds
(i.e., insurance payments less deductible and premiums, including
the amount of any increase in future premiums assessed under such
policies of insurance) actually received by the Recruiter
Indemnitee with respect to the Loss, and Recruiter and Newco agree
to use their reasonable best efforts to collect any insurance
proceeds to which Recruiter and/or Newco may be entitled in respect
of any Loss.

 

Section 8.07 Tax
Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All
indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated
by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax
purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 8.08 Exclusive Remedy.
Commencing on the Closing Date, this Article VIII shall provide the
sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or
incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement except
as a result of fraud by an Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Article VIII shall prevent any party from seeking
equitable remedies (including specific performance and injunctive
relief).

Section 8.09 Scouted
Representative.

 

(a)       Scouted
and the Scouted Stakeholders hereby appoint Jacqueline Loeb, in her
capacity as the Scouted Representative, as agent and
attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of Scouted and the Scouted
Stakeholders to give and receive notices and communications, to
authorize payment to any Indemnified Party in satisfaction of
claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to
agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and
initiate actions and comply with orders of courts with respect to
such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and
compromises of, and initiate actions and comply with orders of
courts with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party
against Scouted or any Scouted Stakeholder or by Scouted or any
such Scouted Stakeholder against any Indemnified Party or any
dispute between any Indemnified Party and Scouted or any such
Scouted Stakeholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, to execute any and all
agreements and certificates contemplated by this Agreement, and to
take all other actions that are necessary or appropriate in the
judgment of the Scouted Representative for the accomplishment of
the foregoing or specifically mandated by the terms of this
Agreement. No bond shall be required of the Scouted Representative,
and the Scouted Representative shall not receive any compensation
for her services.

 

(b)       The
Scouted Representative shall not be liable for any act done or
omitted hereunder as Scouted Representative while acting in good
faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, even though such
act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Scouted
Representative. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this
Section 8.09(b) shall in
any way impact any Liability that the Scouted Representative may
have in her capacity as a stockholder of Scouted. The Scouted
Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this
Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The
Scouted Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other
professionals and experts. The Scouted Representative may in good
faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and
opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any
action taken by the Scouted Representative based on such reliance
shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith and
in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Scouted Stakeholders
shall indemnify the Scouted Representative and hold the Scouted
Representative harmless against any Losses incurred without gross
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Scouted Representative
and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the Scouted Representative’s duties
hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal
counsel or other professionals and advisors retained by the Scouted
Representative (“Scouted
Representative Expenses”). Following Closing, the
Scouted Representative shall have the right to recover Scouted
Representative Expenses from any deferred payments in accordance
with the terms hereof prior to any distribution to any Scouted
Stakeholder, and prior to any such distribution. A decision, act,
consent or instruction of the Scouted Representative, including an
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, shall
constitute a decision of Scouted and the Scouted Stakeholders and
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Scouted and the
Stakeholders.

 

(c)       Release
of Holdback Shares. Within five (5) business days after the
Expiration Date, Recruiter shall release the remaining Holdback
Shares to Scouted.

failure by Scouted), respectively, only by a written instrument
signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or
failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation,
covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of,

(a)       This
Agreement and all matters related to the transactions contemplated

of Nevada or any other jurisdiction).

 

(b)       Any
legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, or the transactions

irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying

irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(c)       Each
Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise
under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents is likely to
involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such
Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have
to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each Party to this
Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (A) no representative of

other Party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the
event of a legal action, (B) such Party has considered the
implications of this waiver, (C) such Party makes this waiver

accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be
entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition
to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity,
without having to plead or prove irreparable harm or lack of
adequate remedy at law and without having to post a bond or other
security.

 

 

48

 

 

(e)      
Attorneys’ Fees. In
the event that any Party institutes any legal suit, action, or
proceeding against the other party(ies) arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereunder, the prevailing Party in the
suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the
costs incurred by such Party in conducting the suit, action, or
proceeding, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court
costs.

 

(f)       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to
be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement
delivered by e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall
