GLOBANT S.A.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE
GLOBANT S.A.
2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

1.    Terminology.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Glossary at the end of this Agreement.

2.    Vesting.  All of the Awarded RSUs are nonvested and forfeitable as of the Grant Date.  So long as your Service is continuous from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A), the Awarded RSUs will become vested and nonforfeitable (also referred to in the Notice as Vested Units) in accordance with and subject to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice and Exhibit A to the Notice.

3.    Termination of Employment or Service.  Unless otherwise provided in the Notice, if your Service with the Company ceases for any reason, all of the Awarded RSUs that are not then vested and nonforfeitable will be forfeited to the Company immediately and automatically upon such cessation without payment of any consideration therefor and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such RSUs or the underlying shares of Common Stock.

4.    Restrictions on Transfer.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the Awarded RSUs may be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and the Awarded RSUs shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  All rights with respect to this Agreement and the Awarded RSUs shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your guardian or legal representative.

5.    Settlement of Vested Units.

(a)    Manner of Settlement.  You are not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if required) as a condition to settlement of the Vested Units.  The Company will issue to you, in settlement of your Vested Units and subject to the provisions of Section 6 below, the number of whole shares of Common Stock that equals the number of whole Vested Units, and such Vested Units will terminate and cease to be outstanding upon such issuance of the shares.  Upon issuance of such shares, the Company will determine the form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) and may deliver such shares on your behalf electronically to the Company’s designated stock plan administrator or such other broker-dealer as the Company may choose at its sole discretion, within reason.

(b)    Timing of Settlement.  Your Vested Units will be settled by the Company, via the issuance of Common Stock as described herein, within fifteen (15) days after the Awarded RSUs become vested and nonforfeitable.  However, if a scheduled issuance date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, such issuance date shall instead fall on the next following day that the principal executive offices of the Company are open for business.  In all cases, the issuance and delivery of shares under this Agreement is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such a manner. 

6.    Tax Withholding.  On or before the time you receive a distribution of the shares subject to your Vested Units or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate which arise in connection with your Vested Units (the “Withholding Taxes”).  Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your Vested Units by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered under the 

Agreement to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Taxes directly to the Company; or (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Vested Units with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued to you pursuant to Section 5) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income.  Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock.  In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount. 

7.    Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

(a)    Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split.  Upon a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, the number of outstanding Awarded RSUs shall, without further action of the Administrator, be adjusted to reflect such event; provided, however, that any fractional RSUs resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated.  Adjustments under this paragraph will be made by the Administrator, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive.

(b)    Merger, Consolidation and Other Events.  If the Company shall be the surviving or resulting corporation in any merger or consolidation and the Common Stock shall be converted into other securities, the Awarded RSUs shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Awarded RSUs would have been entitled.  If the stockholders of the Company receive by reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation or pursuant to any merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, securities of another entity or other property (including cash), then the rights of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor, and this Agreement shall apply to the securities or other property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Awarded RSUs would have been entitled, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Awarded RSUs.

8.    Non‐Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall alter your at‐will or other employment status or other service relationship with the Company, nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between the Company and you, or as a contractual right of you to continue in the employ of, or in a service relationship with, the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the Company to discharge you at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any nonvested and forfeitable RSUs or any other adverse effect on your interests under the Plan.

9.    Rights as Stockholder.  You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock that may be issued in settlement of the Awarded RSUs until such shares of Common Stock have been issued to you.

10.    The Company’s Rights.  The existence of the Awarded RSUs shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

11.    Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Vested Units shall be subject to and in compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state, or foreign law with respect to such securities.  No shares of Common Stock may be issued 
3

hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state, or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Awarded RSUs shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.  As a condition to the settlement of the Vested Units, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

12.    Notices.  All notices and other communications made or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company, or in the case of notices delivered to the Company by you, addressed to the Administrator, care of the Company for the attention of its Secretary at its principal executive office or, in either case, if the receiving party consents in advance, transmitted and received via telecopy or via such other electronic transmission mechanism as may be available to the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this award of RSUs by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan or accept this award of RSUs by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

13.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement including the terms of the Exhibit A, together with the relevant Notice and the Plan, contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Awarded RSUs.  Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Awarded RSUs shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

14.    Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Awarded RSUs as determined in the discretion of the Administrator, except as provided in the Plan or in a written document signed by each of the parties hereto.

15.    409A Savings Clause.  This Agreement and the RSUs granted hereunder are intended to fit within the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).  In administering this Agreement, the Company shall interpret this Agreement in a manner consistent with such exemption.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that the RSUs fail to satisfy the requirements of the short-term deferral rule and are otherwise deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and if you are a “Specified Employee” (within the meaning set forth Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the date of your separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), then the issuance of any shares that would otherwise be made upon the date of the separation from service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on the originally scheduled date(s) and will instead be issued in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after the date of the separation from service, but if and only if such delay in the issuance of the shares is necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxation on you in respect of the shares under Section 409A of the Code.  Each installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

16.    No Obligation to Minimize Taxes.  The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this award of RSUs and shall not be liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this award.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this award and by signing the Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so.

17.    Conformity with Plan.  This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects with, and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan.  Inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern.  A copy of the Plan is available upon request to the Administrator.

18..    No Funding.  This Agreement constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in the future in accordance with its terms.  You have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company as a result of receiving the grant of RSUs.

19.    Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans.  The value of the Awarded RSUs shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides.  The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.

20.    Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, and of any determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to this Agreement, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest under this Agreement, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its provisions concerning the applicability of laws of other jurisdictions.  

21.    Resolution of Disputes.  Any dispute or disagreement which shall arise under, or as a result of, or pursuant to or relating to, this Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator in good faith in its absolute and uncontrolled discretion, and any such determination or any other determination by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement and any interpretation by the Administrator of the terms of this Agreement, will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.  You agree that before you may bring any legal action arising under, as a result of, pursuant to or relating to, this Agreement you will first exhaust your administrative remedies before the Administrator.  You further agree that in the event that the Administrator does not resolve any dispute or disagreement arising under, as a result of, pursuant to or relating to, this Agreement to your satisfaction, no legal action may be commenced or maintained relating to this Agreement more than twenty-four (24) months after the Administrator’s decision.

22.    Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

23.    Electronic Delivery of Documents.  By your signing the Notice, you (i) consent to the electronic delivery of this Agreement, all information with respect to the Plan and the Awarded RSUs, and any reports of the Company provided generally to the Company’s stockholders; (ii) acknowledge that you may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to you by contacting the Company by telephone or in writing; (iii) further acknowledge that you may revoke your consent to the electronic delivery of documents at any time by notifying the Company of such revoked consent by telephone, postal service or electronic mail; and (iv) further acknowledge that you understand that you are not required to consent to electronic delivery of documents.

24.    No Future Entitlement.  By your signing the Notice, you acknowledge and agree that:  (i) the grant of a restricted stock unit award is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or compensation in lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (ii) all determinations with respect to any such future grants and the terms thereof will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (iii) the value of the restricted stock units is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any; (iv) the value of the restricted stock units is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments or similar payments, or bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits; (v) the vesting of the restricted stock units ceases upon termination of Service with the Company or transfer of employment from the Company, or other cessation of eligibility for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in this Agreement; (vi) the Company does not guarantee any future value of the restricted stock units; and (vii) 
5

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises if the restricted stock units decrease or do not increase in value and you irrevocably release the Company from any such claim that does arise.

25.    Personal Data.  For purposes of the implementation, administration and management of the restricted stock units or the effectuation of any acquisition, equity or debt financing, joint venture, merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, sale of stock, sale of material assets or other similar corporate transaction involving the Company (a “Corporate Transaction”), you consent, by execution of the Notice, to the collection, receipt, use, retention and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data by and among the Company and its third party vendors or any potential party to a potential Corporate Transaction.  You understand that personal data (including but not limited to, name, home address, telephone number, employee number, employment status, social security number, tax identification number, date of birth, nationality, job and payroll location, data for tax withholding purposes and shares awarded, cancelled, vested and unvested) may be transferred to third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the restricted stock units or the effectuation of a Corporate Transaction and you expressly authorize such transfer as well as the retention, use, and the subsequent transfer of the data by the recipient(s).  You understand that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the restricted stock units or effect a Corporate Transaction.  You understand that you may, at any time, request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the personal data, view data, request additional information about the storage and processing of data, require any necessary amendments to data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Company’s Secretary.  You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to accept a restricted stock unit award.

(2) an amount of US$17,000,000 (seventeen million US Dollars) less any adjustments, deductions or withholdings as provided in Sections 1.3, Section 1.4, Section 1.5, ARTICLE 7 and ARTICLE 10 (the “Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2”), will be transferred directly by the Purchasers to Globant Lux for the subscription and payment on behalf of the Sellers and issuance by Globant Lux, on the date that is the twenty-fourth (24th) month anniversary of the Closing (unless such date is not a Business Day in which case, the subscription and issuance shall take place the next Business Day) (the “Tranche 2 Subscription Date”), of such number of Globant Lux restricted common shares as may be purchased at the price per share resulting from the volume weighted average trading price of the publicly traded shares of Globant Lux during a period comprising 60 trading days ending on (but including) the second trading day prior to the Tranche 2 Subscription Date, as quoted in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:GLOB) (the “G-Shares Tranche 2”). At least one Business Day prior to the Tranche 2 Subscription Date the Purchasers shall inform the Sellers in writing the price for each G-Shares Tranche 2, including reasonable detail of its calculation. 

(3)  an amount corresponding to the Withheld Amount for Pending Brazilian Litigation less such amounts of the Pending Brazilian Litigation that, on or prior to the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date, has not been successfully concluded and discharged in accordance with Section 7.6 less any deduction or withholding provided in Section 10.1 (the “Cash for G-Shares Deferred Tranche 2”) will be transferred directly by the Purchasers to Globant Lux for the subscription and payment on behalf of the Sellers and issuance by Globant Lux, on the date that is the thirty sixth (36th) month anniversary of the Closing (unless such date is not a Business Day in which case, the subscription and issuance shall take place the next Business Day) (the “Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date”), of such number of Globant Lux restricted common shares as may be purchased at the price per share resulting from the volume weighted average trading price of the publicly traded shares of Globant Lux during a period comprising 60 trading days ending on (but including) the second trading day prior to the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date, as quoted in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:GLOB) (the “G-Shares Deferred Tranche 2,” and together with the G-Shares Tranche 1, and the G-Shares Tranche 2, the “G-Shares”). At least one Business Day prior to the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date the Purchasers shall inform the Sellers in writing the price for each G-Shares Deferred Tranche 2, including reasonable detail of its calculation. 

(4)  For the subscription and issuance of the G-Shares, at Closing, each of the Sellers and Globant Lux shall execute a subscription agreement in one of the forms attached as Exhibit 1.3.(a)(4) hereto, as applicable (each, a “Subscription Agreement”); provided, however, that IFC, HSBC I and HSBCII to the extent effecting the subscription in accordance with Rule 
4

506(b) of Regulation D under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall also complete, execute and deliver to Globant Lux the questionnaire attached thereto to verify its qualification as “accredited investor” under applicable US Law.

(5)  The Purchasers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to the obligations assumed by Globant Lux under the Subscription Agreements. If, for any reason whatsoever, Globant Lux fails to issue any of the G-Shares in accordance with paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above and the applicable Subscription Agreement, which failure is not cured within ten (10) Business Days, the Purchasers shall, immediately upon request, pay to Sellers the amount in US Dollars corresponding to the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 1, Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 and Cash for G-Shares Deferred Tranche 2, as may be the case. 

(b)    Earn Out Payment.

(i)In addition to the Base Purchase Price, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive an amount of US$12,500,000 (twelve million five hundred thousand US Dollars) less any deduction or withholding as provided further below in this paragraph (i) (the “Earn Out Payment”), which shall be payable to the Sellers no later than March 31st, 2021 (the “Earn Out Payment Date”), subject to the achievement by the Company (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) of BOTH of the following financial targets, and notwithstanding other conditions, withholdings and adjustments that may be contemplated in other provisions of this Agreement:

(1)    Revenue for the five-month period from (and including) August 1st, 2020 to December 31st, 2020 (the “Earn Out Period”) of at least [***] (the “Revenue Target”); AND

(2)    Gross Margin for the Earn Out Period of at least 38% (the “Gross Margin Target,” and together with the Revenue Target, the “Earn Out Targets”).

Adjustments to the Earn Out Payment.

If the Gross Margin Target is achieved, which is an independent and essential condition for the payment of the Earn Out Payment, with respect to the amount of the Earn Out Payment the following shall apply:

(I) If the Revenue for the Earn Out Period is equivalent to an amount between 85% and 89.99% of the Revenue Target (i.e., between [***] and [***]), then the amount of the Earn Out Payment shall be determined as per the following formula:

US$12,500,000 x [% of Revenue Achievement for the Earn Out Period] x 0.65.
5

(II) If the Revenue Target is achieved at a level of 90% (i.e., Revenue for the Earn Out Period at [***]) or above but less than 100%, then the amount of the Earn Out Payment shall be determined as per the following formula:

US$12,500,000 x [% of Revenue Achievement for the Earn Out Period]

(III) If the Revenue Target is achieved at a level of 100% (i.e., Revenue for the Earn Out Period at [***]), then the Earn Out Payment shall amount to US$12,500,000.

(IV) If the Revenue Target is surpassed, then such amount of US$12,500,000 shall be increased by US$125,000 (one hundred twenty-five thousand US Dollars) for every one percent (1%) in excess of the Revenue Target; provided that, in case that such percentage is not a whole number, the relevant payable amount shall be calculated on a proportional basis.

Some examples of calculation of the Earn Out Payment are shown in Exhibit 1.3.(b)(i) (without taking into account any adjustments, withholdings or deductions). 

For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed and acknowledged that: (X) if the total Revenue for the Earn Out Period is less than [***], then the Earn Out Payment shall not be payable and the Sellers shall not be entitled to receive any amount thereunder for any reason whatsoever, (Y) the Earn Out Payment shall not be payable unless the Gross Margin Target is achieved, and (Z) the amount of the Earn Out Payment shall in no case be increased due to the overachievement of the Gross Margin Target.

Except for the adjustments, withholdings or deductions, as may be the case, set forth in Sections 1.3(b), 1.4, 1.6 (only with respect to the Non-compliant Seller), Section 2.1, ARTICLE 7 and ARTICLE 10, the Earn Out Payment shall not be reduced in any manner whatsoever.

For purposes of all calculations under this Section 1.3, all percentages shall be limited to two decimal places.

The Earn Out Payment, if applicable, will be payable to the Sellers in cash in immediately available funds to the accounts previously informed to the Purchasers at least five (5) Business Days before the Earn Out Payment Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Earn Out Payment shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Exhibit 1.2 and the Flow of Funds Instructions.
6

(ii)Without prejudice to the rights of Sellers arising from Section 1.7, the Sellers hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right they may have in the future to invoke force majeure or any other similar legal statute or doctrine (whether at Law or in equity), or the occurrence of any event or circumstance (such as, but not limited to, government-mandated lockdowns or restrictions to operate due to the coronavirus or similar disease, salary adjustments for inflation in the employment market or government-mandated salary adjustments in any jurisdiction where the Company and the Subsidiaries operate, or severe FX fluctuations against the US dollar) that may give rise to any right of the Sellers to request an adjustment of the Revenue Target or the Gross Margin Target or entail the payment of the Earn Out Payment, or any portion thereof, without the achievement of each of the Revenue Target and Gross Margin Target as stipulated by the relevant Parties in this Agreement.

(iii)The achievement of the Earn Out Targets shall be measured, for purposes hereof, considering the Company with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and based on Globant Lux’s audited financial statements, accounting and financial information, as prepared by Globant Lux and the Purchasers and audited by their external auditors in accordance with Globant Lux’s and Purchasers’ internal policies and procedures, consistently applied in accordance with the international financial reporting standards promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), together with its interpretations and pronouncements thereon published from time to time and applied on a consistent basis.

(iv)The Sellers  acknowledge and agree that there is no assurance that the Sellers will receive any amount under the Earn Out Payment, which shall be contingent upon the achievement of the Earn Out Targets. Each of the Sellers understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive the Earn Out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Laws relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Purchasers or the Company, (ii) the Sellers shall not have any rights as a security holder vis-à-vis Purchasers or the Company as a result of such Sellers’ contingent right to receive the Earn Out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to the Earn Out Payment unless in case of nonpayment thereof by the Purchasers, if applicable, when due.

1.4.    Earn Out Reports. Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the closing of the Earn Out Period, the Purchasers shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a report stating the Purchasers’ determination of the Earn Out Payment (the “Earn Out Report”), substantially in the form of Schedule 1.4(a). 

7

The Purchasers shall make available to the Sellers such information, documentation and access as set forth in Section 1.5(d)(ii) with respect to the calculations made in the Earn Out Report and the underlying information taken into account for such purpose.

(b) Unless one or more of the Sellers object to Purchasers’ determination of the Earn Out Payment as set forth in the Earn Out Report (any such objecting Seller, the “Dissenting Seller”) by the delivery to the Purchasers of a written notice setting forth the basis for such objection (an “Earn Out Objection Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Earn Out Report (or if, at any time, all the Sellers accept the Earn Out Report by written notice to the Purchasers), the Earn Out Report shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of any manifest error. In the event that one or more than one Dissenting Sellers acting together, delivers an Earn Out Objection Notice, (i) the Purchasers shall nonetheless pay the amount of the Earn Out Payment to the Sellers in the amount calculated by Purchasers in the Earn Out Report no later than the Earn Out Payment Date, and (ii) the obligation of the Purchasers to pay any additional amount of the Earn Out Payment in excess of the amount indicated in the Earn Out Report, shall be deferred and subject to the final resolution in accordance with paragraph (iv) below or the written agreement between Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers. Any delay in the payment of the Earn Out Payment, as calculated in the Earn Out Report, shall be subject to the payment of default interest at a rate of 6% per annum calculated as from the Earn Out Payment Date. For purposes of delivering an Earn Out Objection Notice, Dissenting Sellers shall always act jointly through a designated representative. 

(c) In the event that any Dissenting Seller timely delivers an Earn Out Objection Notice, the Purchasers and the Dissenting Seller, acting jointly through a designated representative, shall first use diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute between themselves. If they are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after the delivery of the Earn Out Objection Notice, then the dispute shall be submitted to a financial arbitrator (the “Financial Arbitrator”) for determination as follows: 

(i) The Dissenting Seller will nominate, within ten (10) Business Days following the failure to resolve directly the dispute, two (2) firms from the list of accounting firms listed in Exhibit 1.4.(c) under items 1 to 4 thereof. If there is more than one Dissenting Sellers, those Sellers shall for purpose of this Section 1.4 act jointly as a single Dissenting Seller and shall appoint a joint representative to act on behalf of all the Dissenting Sellers.

(ii) The Purchasers will have a term of five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the nomination for Financial Arbitrators to elect one of the firms from the two (2) firms designated by the Dissenting Sellers. If the Purchasers fail to choose a firm within the given time, the Dissenting Sellers will choose the Financial Arbitrator from the two (2) firms designated by the Dissenting Sellers. In case the designated firm is not able to act as a Financial Arbitrator, the Dissenting Sellers will have to add an additional firm from the list so that the Purchasers have at least two firms to make their election. In case there are three or more firms of those listed in Exhibit 1.4.(c) under items 1 to 4 which are unable to act as a Financial Arbitrator, the Dissenting Sellers shall nominate an additional one or two firms, as the case may be, from those listed under items 5 and 6 of Exhibit 1.4.(c) for the Purchasers to elect from at least two firms. In case the designated firm by the Purchasers is 
8

not able to act as a Financial Arbitrator, the other firm designated by the Dissenting Sellers shall be deemed chosen to act as the Financial Arbitrator. If neither of such firms are able to act as Financial Arbitrators, Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers shall jointly agree on the nomination of a reputable firm to act as Financial Arbitrator. If they cannot reach an agreement on who the Financial Arbitrator shall be, within the ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the last of the firms listed on Exhibit 1.4.(c) refused to act as Financial Arbitrator, then the arbitration provision in Section 12.13. shall apply. The Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Financial Arbitrator under this Section, such services to be provided in the Financial Arbitrator’s capacity as an accounting expert and not an arbitrator.

(iii) Each of the Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers (acting jointly) shall submit to the Financial Arbitrator and the other Parties involved in the dispute, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Financial Arbitrator, copies of (A) the Earn Out Report, (B) the Earn Out Objection Notice, (C) a list of all unresolved objections with respect to the calculation of the Earn Out Payment in the Earn Out Report (the “Unresolved Earn Out Objections”), and (D) a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions on the Unresolved Earn Out Objections. Each of the Parties involved in the dispute shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the referred information to deliver to the Financial Arbitrator and the other Parties involved in the dispute an additional statement to counterargue or correct any information or statement made in the documents so received. Then the Financial Arbitrator may, at its discretion, conduct a meeting concerning the Earn Out Objections, at which meeting the Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers (or their designees) shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with the resolution of the Earn Out Objections, and except as set forth in the previous sentences, there shall be no other hearings or oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar proceedings. Each of the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Dissenting Sellers, on the other hand, shall make available to the other Party and the Financial Arbitrator, as the case may be, such documents, books, records, work papers, facilities, personnel and other information as the Financial Arbitrator may reasonably request to review the Earn Out Report and to resolve the Unresolved Earn Out Objections; provided, that (i) each Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Financial Arbitrator, and (ii) no Party (or any of its Affiliates, advisors or representatives) shall engage in any ex parte communication with the Financial Arbitrator at any time with respect to the disputed matters. The Financial Arbitrator shall only resolve the disputed matters and be instructed to based its determination solely on the written reports submitted to the Financial Arbitrator by the Dissenting Sellers and the Purchasers and oral submissions by the Dissenting Sellers and the Purchasers at meetings held in compliance with the prior sentence  and on the definitions and other terms and conditions included herein; provided, further, that in resolving a disputed item, the Financial Arbitrator (1) may only consider those items and amounts as to which the Parties have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above; (2) may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item or less than the smallest value for such item, in each case claimed by the Purchasers or the Dissenting Sellers in the written reports presented to the Financial Arbitrator; and (3) shall consult 
9

with legal counsel of recognized standing of its selection in the event of any dispute or question as to the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

(iv) As soon as practicably possible but no later than within fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving all relevant documentation referred to above, the Financial Arbitrator shall prepare and distribute to the Parties a written report setting forth the Financial Arbitrator’s determination of the Earn Out Payment and the Financial Arbitrator’s reasons therefor. The Purchasers shall then be obligated to pay, if applicable, the balance of the Earn Out Payment, pursuant to this Agreement as if such amount of the Earn Out Payment had been set forth in the original Earn Out Report (along with the accrued interest payable at a rate of 6% per annum since the date on which such amounts would have been otherwise payable as if it were originally included in the Earn Out Report through its effective payment). The decision rendered by the Financial Arbitrator and set forth in such report shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, and such decision shall not be subject to appeal by any Party. In no event amounts already paid by the Purchasers shall be reimbursable or reduced as a result of the decision of the Financial Arbitrator or otherwise pursuant to the agreement between the Purchasers and the Dissenting Sellers (unless all Dissenting Sellers so agree) in the context of the dispute. 

(v) Each Party will bear its own expenses in taking its case to the Financial Arbitrator. However, the fees and expenses of the Financial Arbitrator in connection with the final resolution of any such dispute shall be borne: (x) by the Dissenting Sellers, if the Financial Arbitrator’s determination of the Earn Out Payment is not materially different from the original Earn Out Report delivered by the Purchasers, or (y) by the Purchasers, if the Financial Arbitrator’s determination of the Earn Out Payment is materially different from the Earn Out Report delivered by the Purchasers. For purposes of this paragraph, the Parties agree and acknowledge that a material difference requires a difference of more than US$250,000 as compared with the Financial Arbitrator’s determination of the Earn Out Payment.

(d) If applicable, the Purchasers shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Earn Out Report is deemed conclusive and binding (either due to express acknowledgement by all the Sellers, failure of the Sellers to deliver an Earn Out Objection Notice in a timely manner, or a final decision by the Financial Arbitrator rendering so) pay or cause to be paid (but in no case before the Earn Out Payment Date) any amount of the Earn Out Payment owed to the Sellers plus interests on the relevant unpaid amount at a rate of 6% per annum calculated as from the Earn Out Payment Date through the effective payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers who are not Dissenting Sellers shall be deemed to have consented to the Earn Out Report and shall not benefit from any additional amounts in respect to any Earn Out Payment that may be awarded by the Financial Arbitrator to, or that may be agreed upon by the Purchasers with, the Dissenting Sellers.

(e) The Sellers acknowledge that the delivery of the Earn Out Reports and, if applicable, the payment of the Earn Out Payment by the Purchasers could be made before the Purchasers have confirmed that no portion of the “Revenue” taken into consideration for purposes of calculating the level of achievement of the relevant Revenue Targets would turn into Bad Debt thereafter. Given that, as agreed in this Agreement, Bad Debt must be excluded in order to compute the relevant “Revenue”, the Sellers agree that at any time during six months after the Earn Out 
10

Payment Date, the Purchasers shall be entitled to seek payment from the Sellers, and the Sellers  (in the case of the Sellers of the Management Group only, on a jointly and severally basis) shall be required to compensate the Purchasers, to the extent that any account receivable issued after the Closing and taken into account for purpose of the Earn Out Payment has turned into Bad Debt after the delivery of the Earn Out Report or the payment of the Earn Out Payment have caused that the amount paid to the Sellers  exceeds the amount that they would have been entitled to receive if such account receivable had been excluded for purposes of calculating the amount of the Earn Out Payment. Any such circumstance shall be communicated by the Purchasers to the Sellers  by written notice and the Sellers  shall reimburse to the Purchasers accordingly no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving such notice. If the relevant amount is not paid within the aforementioned 15-Business Day period, the Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct the corresponding amount (plus a default interest at a rate of 6% per annum during the relevant period) from any following payment to be made to the Sellers (including from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2). In case of any controversy in connection with the adjustments referred to in this paragraph (e), the Purchasers and the Sellers  shall first use diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute between themselves during thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of a written notice of any of the Parties to the others indicating the grounds of the dispute. If they are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Financial Arbitrator for determination and the procedure set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 1.4. shall apply mutatis mutandi. 

1.5.    Adjustment for other Financial Variables.

(a) Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) The Purchase Price has been established considering that at Closing the Company shall have at least a Net Working Capital of US$8,750,000 (the “Target Net Working Capital”). In this Agreement, the term “Net Working Capital” means the current assets minus current liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; where current assets are comprised of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result of the foregoing, the Parties agree that only the specific items of the balance sheet of the Company, on a consolidated basis listed in Schedule 1.5.1(a)(i) shall be taken into consideration for purposes of calculating the Net Working Capital. 

(ii) Within ninety (90) calendar days following Closing, 

(1) the Purchasers shall review and confirm that the Net Working Capital at Closing was at least equal to the Target Net Working Capital, and shall calculate and determine the actual Net Working Capital at Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) in accordance with IFRS consistently applied and to the extent not specifically modified pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 1.5.1(a)(i). In case of discrepancy between IFRS and the provisions of Schedule 1.5.1(a)(i), the latter shall prevail; and 

(2) the Purchasers shall deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Closing NWC   Statement”) containing its calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, together with a calculation of the adjustments to the Base Purchase Price based on such amounts and such 
11

data with respect to the determination thereof as is reasonable necessary to support such Closing NWC Statement. 

(iii) If the Sellers disagrees in whole or in part with the Closing NWC Statement, then within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt of the Closing NWC Statement, the Sellers shall notify the Purchasers of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of any such disagreement and indicating the specific line items of the Closing NWC Statement that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”), accompanied by the Sellers’ revised Closing NWC Statement setting forth their determination of the adjustments to the Base Purchase Price and any component thereof, as the case may be. Thereafter, the dispute shall be subject to Section 1.5(d). All items that are not Disputed Line Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder unless the resolution of a Disputed Line Item affects an undisputed item, in which case such undisputed item shall remain open and be considered a Disputed Line Item to the extent of such corresponding effect. In the event that the Sellers do not provide a Notice of Disagreement within such twenty (20)-Business Day period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Closing NWC Statement as prepared by the Purchasers, and such Closing NWC Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.

(iv) The Closing Cash Payment shall be adjusted by an increase in the amount that the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, or a decrease in the amount that the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Net Working Capital. If the Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, then the amount that results from subtracting the Target Net Working Capital from the Closing Net Working Capital, shall be paid by the Purchasers to each of the Sellers, in proportion to each of the Seller’s respective ownership of Equity Interests in the Company, as described in the allocation certificate enclosed hereto as Exhibit 1.2. (each such ownership percentage, the “Seller’s Ownership Percentage”), within five (5) Business Days following the date in which the Closing Net Working Capital was finally determined, to the corresponding Sellers’ Accounts. If the Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then the amount that results from subtracting the Closing Net Working Capital from the Target Net Working Capital, shall be paid to the Purchasers by the Sellers, in proportion to the Seller’s Ownership Percentage, within five (5) Business Days following the date in which the Closing Net Working Capital was finally determined, to the account designated in writing by the Purchasers at least three (3) Business Days prior to such payment. If any such amount is not paid as set forth herein, the applicable Party shall be entitled to a default interest at a rate of 6% per annum as from the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date in which the Closing Net Working Capital was finally determined through its effective payment, and in the case of the Purchasers to deduct the corresponding amount from any following payment to be made to the other Party (including from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2). For the avoidance of doubt, liability of the Sellers for any adjustments or amounts due in accordance herewith shall be several and joint, except for the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group, which liability shall be several and not joint.

(b) Accounts Receivable Adjustment.

12

(i) The Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers a certificate including a list of the Company’s Accounts Receivable as of the Cut Off Date, including the amount and due date of each Account Receivable, provided that all amounts shall be reflected in the local currency of the issuer of the relevant Account Receivable and converted into US$ at such date at the Applicable FX Rate (the “Accounts Receivable Certificate”); provided further that, (1) the total unbilled amounts to customers as of the Cut Off Date shall be included in the Accounts Receivable Certificate as an aggregate line item (the “Unbilled Amounts as of the Cut Off Date”), (2) within 15 calendar days after Closing, the Sellers of the Selling Management Group shall disaggregate such amount, identifying the corresponding amounts payable by each applicable customer and issuing the relevant invoices, including any applicable value added tax thereon, and (3) the amount of each such invoices, including any applicable value added taxes thereon, converted into US$ at the Applicable FX Rate, shall be deemed an Account Receivable as if they had been included in the Accounts Receivable Certificate and shall be taken into consideration for the adjustments contemplated in this Section 1.5.(b). The Accounts Receivable Certificate shall be executed by RW.

(ii) At any time during the twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Account Receivable Period”), the Purchasers shall be entitled to seek payment from the Sellers, and the Sellers shall be required to compensate the Purchasers, to the extent any Accounts Receivable outstanding as of the Closing Date, as listed in the Accounts Receivable Certificate, remained uncollected 120 calendar days following the due date of each of such Accounts Receivable for any reason whatsoever (including its accounting as Bad Debt) (each an “Account Receivable Reduction”). For such purpose, at any time during the Account Receivable Period, the Purchasers shall serve one or more notices to Sellers, each enclosing a certificate identifying the relevant Accounts Receivable that is the basis of such reimbursement and the calculation of the relevant Account Receivable Reduction (each an “Account Receivable Reduction Report”). Failure to include any Account Receivable reported in the Accounts Receivable Certificate in an Account Receivable Reduction Report on or before the expiration of the Account Receivable Period shall be deemed as an irrevocable and unconditional waiver of Purchasers to make any claim against Sellers in connection with such Accounts Receivable to the extent not included in any other Account Receivable Reduction Report. 

(iii) Any Account Receivable Reduction shall be paid by the Sellers on a date no later than ten (10) Business Days after each Account Receivable Reduction has been communicated by means of an Account Receivable Reduction Report to the Sellers and in any event no later than the last day of the Account Receivable Period, to the account designated in writing by Purchasers at least three (3) Business Days prior to such payment. If any such amount is not paid within the aforementioned ten (10)-Business Day period, the Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct the corresponding amount (plus a default interest at a rate of 6% per annum during the relevant period) from the Earn Out Payment and/or the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2. Liability of the Sellers for any adjustments or amounts due in accordance herewith shall be several and joint, except for the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group, which liability shall be several and not joint.  For the avoidance of doubt, once any Account Receivable included in an Account Receivable Reduction Report has been duly paid by the Sellers in favor of the Purchasers, the Sellers will be 
13

entitled to initiate the collection of the relevant amounts of such Accounts Receivables from the corresponding third parties and, in the event that any of the relevant Accounts Receivable is eventually paid up to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Purchasers shall immediately reimburse the Sellers, proportionally, for the corresponding amount (less applicable reasonable expenses incurred by the Company, the Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof in connection with such collection). The Purchasers shall not, and shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries not to, assign any of the Accounts Receivable included in the Accounts Receivable Certificate nor waive any right in connection therewith against debtor. If requested by the Sellers, the Purchasers shall cause the Company or the relevant Subsidiary to issue a power-of-attorney in favor of the Sellers (or their designee) to enforce the collection of any Accounts Receivable the amount of which has been paid by the Sellers (either in case or by means of compensation as set forth in this Agreement), whether in- or out-of court. For the purposes of any applicable payment or deduction made pursuant to an Account Receivable Reduction Report, any amounts included therein shall be expressed in US$ as set forth in the Accounts Receivable Certificate.

(iv) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, while neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Purchasers has an obligation to initiate any collection proceeding of any nature with respect to uncollected accounts, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Purchasers will handle such accounts receivable in the Company’s or relevant Subsidiary’s ordinary course of business and will make commercially reasonable efforts to collect them during the 120 calendar days following their agreed due date.

(v) To avoid duplication of adjustments against Sellers, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Bad Debt already taken into account for purposes of Section 1.5.(a) shall not be subject again to Section 1.5.(b), and vice versa.

(c) Minimum Required Cash Adjustment.

(i) The Sellers shall calculate and provide an estimate of (1) the Minimum Required Cash as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Minimum Required Cash”) and (2) the Cash at Closing (the “Estimated Cash at Closing”), and deliver such information together with the relevant information used for such calculation to the Purchasers (the “Estimated Closing Cash Certificate”), which certificate shall be executed by RW.

(ii) At Closing, the Closing Cash Payment shall be adjusted, either by (1) an increase in the amount that the Estimated Cash at Closing exceeds the Estimated Minimum Required Cash, or (2) a decrease in the amount that the Estimated Minimum Required Cash exceeds the Estimated Cash at Closing (such adjustment amount, the “Estimated Closing Cash Balance”).

(iii) Within ninety (90) calendar days following Closing, the Purchasers shall prepare and provide its calculation of (1) the definitive Minimum Required Cash as of the Closing Date (the “Definitive Minimum Required Cash”), (2) the definitive Cash at Closing (the “Definitive Cash at Closing”) and (3) the definitive adjustments to the Estimated Closing Cash Balance based on the Definitive Minimum Required Cash and the Definitive Cash at Closing (the “Definitive Closing Cash Balance”), and deliver such information together with the relevant information used for such calculation to the Sellers 
14

(the “Definitive Closing Cash Statement”). Such calculation shall be made in accordance with IFRS consistently applied and to the extent not specifically modified pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

In any event such Seller will be entitled to 
17

receive, subject to the achievement of the Earn Out Targets, and any other adjustments and deductions as provided herein, such Seller’s share of the Earn Out Payment, to the extent that such Seller has not (i) been terminated for a Cause for Non-Payment, or (ii) breached his/her Non-Competition and/or Non-Solicitation Obligations on or prior to the payment of the Earn Out Payment (notwithstanding any claim for Damages as Seller under, and subject to, ARTICLE 7).

If any amount withheld and deducted to the Non-compliant Seller should have not been withheld and deducted pursuant to the Final Decision, then the Purchasers shall immediately pay to Non-compliant Seller such amount plus interest at a rate of 6% per annum as from the date on which the amounts were so withheld and deducted through and including the effective payment date to such Seller.

The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Purchasers shall have no duty or obligation 
18

to approve, authorize or facilitate any transaction relating to the Business after the Closing if such transaction is proposed on terms, conditions or circumstances (including pricing, staffing and/or legal terms) which are inconsistent with the Purchasers’ or the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practice or outside of the ordinary course of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses. 

(b)    The Purchasers agree that they and their Affiliates in their operation of the Business shall not (and shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates not to) transfer, assign, or otherwise divert from the Company and its Subsidiaries any clientele or business opportunities that would have been prior to Closing allocated to or engaged by or otherwise benefited the Company and its Subsidiaries, in a manner that would have a negative impact in achieving the Earn Out Targets or the amount of Earn Out Payments.

(c)    The Sellers of the Selling Management Group who are employees of the Company as at the Closing Date agree and acknowledge that, as employees of the Company, they shall be subject to compliance with applicable Law and Purchasers’ internal policies, including financial (in particular, approved budgets), legal, human resources, banking and treasury policies. For the avoidance of doubt the foregoing shall not entail nor be deemed, whether as per express or implied terms thereunder, to limit in any manner the rights of the Sellers of the Selling Management Group as provided for under this Agreement.

(d)    After Closing, the Purchasers and the Sellers of the Selling Management Group who continue to be an employee of the Company shall collaborate and endeavor for the Company to adopt, during the Earn Out Period, as many as the Purchasers’ processes and tools as possible without disrupting the ordinary course of the Business, as developed in a manner consistent with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practice; provided, however, that the Purchasers and the Sellers agree and acknowledge that in any case, after Closing, all processes and tools relating to legal, finance (including accounting, treasury and planning) and corporate (non-commercial) matters must be integrated as soon as practicable, and all staff personnel of the Company within the relevant areas will follow and become subject to the Purchasers’ internal policies and management.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, if any event occurs that in the reasonable opinion of the Purchasers (based on the facts then known) could materially impact the achievement of the Earn Out Targets, the Purchasers shall as promptly as practicable inform the Sellers of the occurrence of such event, the estimated negative impact on the Earn Out Payment, and including any additional information reasonably relevant to be known by the Sellers.

(f)    Should the Sellers consider that any action of the Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof (including post-Closing, the Company or any Subsidiary) violate or conflict with any of the provisions set forth in this Section 1.7 or the intended purpose of Section 1.3, and that such action may reasonably affect in an adverse manner the ability of the Company to achieve the Earn Out Targets, such Sellers shall notify the Purchasers in writing about such circumstance as promptly as possible. In any such case, the Purchasers and the Sellers shall endeavor to agree on a mutually satisfactory course of action with respect to the relevant matter; provided, however, that 
19

if the Purchasers and the Sellers fail to resolve the matter within fourteen (14) calendar days after their first discussion, the Purchasers will determine the course of action to be followed at its sole and exclusive discretion, notwithstanding the right of such Sellers to submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 12.13 if they deem to have been adversely affected by the Purchasers’ decision.

Nothing in this Agreement or any ancillary document shall prevent the Purchasers or its Affiliates from executing any corporate reorganization of any nature in order to integrate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into the Purchasers’ corporate structure. If, after Closing, the Purchasers decide to execute any corporate reorganization as a result of which the Company or any Subsidiary ceases to exist as currently known, either by way of merger, consolidation, split-up, or otherwise, the Purchasers and the Sellers of the Selling Management Group agree that the Earn Out Targets necessary to determine the payment contemplated under Section 1.3.(b) shall be calculated separately as if such corporate reorganization had not occurred and the Company or the relevant Subsidiary continued to be a separate corporate group as currently known. In such case, any and all references to the “Company” in sections of this Agreement relating to the calculation of the payment contemplated in Section 1.3.(b) hereof shall be deemed a reference to the relevant business unit that continues the Company’s business within Purchasers’ organization.

    (e) No assessment, deficiency or adjustment for any Taxes has been asserted, proposed or threatened with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company. The Company has paid all Taxes due under applicable Law or have been provided for in a provision which is adequate for the payment of such Taxes. No claim has been made by any Taxing Authority in any jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns that it is, or may be, subject to Tax by that jurisdiction. There are no Liens on any of the Equity Interests or on any of the assets of the Company that arose in connection with any failure or alleged failure to pay any Tax or file any Tax Return.

    (f) There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax-related Liability of the Company notified by electronic or written means, by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing Governmental Body. The Company has not received any ruling from any Governmental Body with respect to Taxes that has not been complied with or contested in good faith and provided for an adequate provision for the payment thereof.

    (g) The Financial Statements accurately reflect unpaid Taxes for the periods covered thereby.

    (h) The Company is not a party to or bound by any Tax allocation, sharing or indemnity agreements or arrangements. The Company has not been notified by any electronic or written means, by any federal, state, local or foreign Governmental Body that it is required to pay any amount for Taxes of any Person as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise.

    (i) All Taxes that the Company is or was required to withhold or collect in connection with amounts paid or owing to any shareholder, former shareholder, employee, independent contractor, creditor, customer, member or other party have been duly withheld or collected, and to the extent required, have been paid to the proper central, state, local or foreign taxing Governmental Body or other Person. The Company has complied with all information reporting and backup withholding provisions of applicable Law. 

    (j) No payments are due or will become due by the Company pursuant to any Tax indemnification agreement as a consequence of the failure by any other Person to discharge such Taxes or amounts when due and payable.
34

    (k) To the Sellers’ Knowledge, there is no fact that has occurred prior to the Closing that will lead any Governmental Body to request from the Company and their shareholders, members of the board of directors or similar corporate body to make any payment because of breach of any Laws in respect of Tax.

    (l) All agreements and transactions to which the Company is or has been a party have been made at arm's length basis or for a consideration adequate to the market value of the goods and services provided for thereunder. The Company is in compliance with all applicable transfer pricing Laws. 

    (m) The Company has not at any time entered into or been party to any transactions, schemes or arrangements that either: (a) were entered into solely or wholly or mainly with a view to avoiding, reducing, postponing or extinguishing any actual or potential Liability to Tax; (b) could be reclassified for the purposes of Tax under any legislation, enactment or other Law or otherwise by any Governmental Body or statutory body or authority; or (c) which could result in any claim or proceeding against the Company or used as evidence against it in any proceedings pertaining to Tax avoidance, either against the Company, or any of the shareholders.

    (n) The Financial Statements accurately reflect unpaid and accrued Taxes of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby, in each case in accordance with applicable accounting principles (and to the extent permitted under such accounting principles, as applied in a consistent manner by the Company and its Subsidiaries). No deficiency for any Taxes has been assessed with respect to the Company and each of the Subsidiaries that has not been abated, paid in full or adequately provided for on or disclosed in the Financial Statements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict or result in any deficiency for any Taxes or result in a change in the accounting method or principles or in its auditing practices.

    (o) The unpaid Taxes of the Company do not exceed the reserve for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the date of the most recent audited annual balance sheet, the Company has not incurred any Liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in IFRS, outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. 

    (p) The Company will not be required to include any item of income or gain in, or exclude any item of deduction or loss or other tax benefit from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any (a) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the applicable Closing Date; (b) use of an improper method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the applicable Closing Date; (c) ‘‘closing agreement’’ as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. income Tax Law) executed on or prior to the applicable Closing Date; (d) intercompany transaction; (e) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (f) prepaid amount received on or prior to the applicable Closing Date.

Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of and the basis for the Claim, as well as the Damages relating thereto (which, if not determinable at such time, may be a reasonable good faith estimate thereof; such amount of Damages or such good faith estimate, as applicable, a “Claimed Amount”), and attach copies of all material written evidence thereof that the Indemnified Party has received from any Person that is not a party hereto or an Affiliate of a Party hereto (a “Third Party”) to the date of the Claim Notice.

(b) Notice of Third-Party Claims. In the event of a Claim brought by a Third Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give to the Indemnifying Party prompt and detailed notice thereof, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim or within such shorter period of time as may reasonably be required to permit the Indemnifying Party to adequately respond to any such Claim (but in such a case, in no event later than prior to the expiration of half the term available to reply to the Third Party Claim in such shorter period); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice or any delay in providing such notice shall not release any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE 7 or prevent any Indemnified Party from being indemnified for any Damages except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay (and then only to the extent of such prejudice). Such notice to the Indemnifying Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and, as the case may be, shall enclosed a copy of the documentation received therewith and any other information or documentation available to the Indemnified Party (including, in the case of the Purchasers, any such available 
57

information or documentation to the Company or Subsidiaries) relevant to the notified Claim. In addition, such notice by the Indemnified Party shall indicate the Claimed Amount, if reasonably practicable, that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(c) Defense of Third-Party Claims. The Sellers shall be entitled to undertake the defense of the Third-Party Claim by giving notice to the Purchasers within ten (10) Business Days (or, as necessary, prior to the expiration of half the term available to reply to the Third Party Claim if such term is shorter than 10 Business Days) after receipt of the notice of Third-Party Claim (as referred above). In the absence of such a notice by the Sellers within such applicable period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have waived their right to undertake the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Purchasers shall be entitled to assume and have sole control over the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim and will be entitled to negotiate a settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of an Order with respect to, such Claim; provided that such settlement, compromise or consent shall be permitted only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Sellers have waived, or deemed to have waived, their right to the defense, the Sellers shall be entitled to participate in (but not to control) such defense and investigation with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers. Upon request, the Purchasers will provide the Sellers with copies of complaints, pleadings, notices and material communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Assistance for Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available to the party who is undertaking and controlling the defense of any Third-Party Claim (the “Defending Party”), at the Indemnifying Party’s expense: (i) those employees and agents whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary or desirable to assist the Defending Party in evaluating and in defending any Third-Party Claim; and (ii) all documents, records and other materials in the possession of such party reasonably required by the Defending Party for its use in defending any Third-Party Claim.

7.4.    Survival

(a) Unless otherwise specified in this Section 7.4. or elsewhere in this Agreement, all provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be affected in any respect by the occurrence of the Closing or any investigation conducted by any Party and any information or knowledge which such Party may have or receive, and such provisions shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that, except with respect to Claims based on intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 5, or willful breach, all representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnification obligations in Section 7.1.(a) shall expire after a twenty-four (24) month period from the Closing Date; provided further, however that (I) (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 5.5, Section 5.6, Section 5.7, Section 5.25(a), Section 5.27 and Section 5.38 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the representations and warranties described in this clause (i), the “Fundamental Representations”), and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.10, Section 5.21 and Section 5.23  shall survive until the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (II) notwithstanding the 
58

foregoing and without prejudice to the liability of the other Sellers under this ARTICLE 7, the liability for indemnification of the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(f) shall expire after a twenty-four (24) month period from the Closing Date. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all indemnification obligations resulting from the matters indicated in Section 7.1(c) through Section 7.1(f) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the “Special Indemnification Matters”). The liability for indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(h) shall be subject to Section 7.5(e) and it shall expire after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The covenants, agreements or obligations required to be performed pursuant to this Agreement that by their terms are required to be performed following the Closing shall survive until the later of (i) the date of full and final performance, and (ii) ninety (90) days following expiration of the longest permitted applicable statute of limitations under the corresponding applicable Law of the country in which the breach has arisen. Neither Party shall have any liability hereunder in respect of any Claims made after the relevant periods mentioned above. Nevertheless, if a Claim has been duly notified to any Seller as per the above prior to expiration of the applicable survival period in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 7.4(a), subject to paragraph (b) below, then the Claims for such potential Damage will not be extinguished by the passage of the applicable survival period until duly resolved. 

For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any matters in respect to which the Liability of the Sellers of the Non-Selling Management Group expires after a twenty-four (24) month period and in respect to which the Liability of the Sellers of the Selling Mangement continues after such twenty-four (24) month period pursuant to this ARTICLE 7, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to Claims made after such twenty-four (24) month period, the relevant indemnification obligation vis-à-vis the Purchasers shall be assumed entirely and exclusively by the Sellers of the Selling Management Group regardless of their respective Seller’s Ownership Percentages so that the Global Indemnified Parties be indemnified in full.

(b) If the Purchasers deliver to the Sellers, before expiration of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, any indemnification claim not involving a Third-Party Claim shall, if not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, be deemed to have been waived or withdrawn on the expiry of twelve (12) months after the date of notice served by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, unless before such period elapses a notice of the Controversy in accordance with Section 12.13 in respect therewith shall have been delivered.

(c) The liability for indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(g) shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.6 and it shall expire upon the terms set forth therein.

7.5.    Limitations.

(a) The Sellers shall not be liable for Damages which, individually considered, are lower than an amount equal to US$10,000 (the “De Minimis Exclusion”). Any Damages not exceeding the De Minimis Exclusion shall be considered non-indemnifiable Damages under this Agreement; provided, however, that a series of Claims of the same nature having in common the same cause 
59

or origin shall be considered to be a single Claim for the purposes of the De Minimis Exclusion. With respect to claims for Damages arising under Section 7.1.(a), the Sellers shall not be liable for any Damage until the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds US$250,000 (at which point the Sellers shall become liable for all Damages from the first US Dollar amount) (the “Tipping Basket”). The limitations set forth in this paragraph (a), including the De Minimis Exclusion and the Tipping Basket, shall not apply to Damages based upon, in connection with or resulting from (i) intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 5, or willful breach on the part of any Seller, (ii) a breach, inaccuracy or failure to be true of any of the Fundamental Representations, (iii) any of the Special Indemnification Matters, (iv) the Pending Brazilian Litigation and the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation, or (v) the Excluded Matters.

(b) The aggregate total amount in respect of which the Sellers may be liable under Section 7.1(a) (other than for, or in connection with or arising out of a Fundamental Representation) and any other amount paid or payable by the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(f), Section 7.1(g) and Section 7.1(h), to the Globant Indemnified Parties shall not exceed the amount of US$17,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that 

(I) with respect to, or arising out of, or in connection with (A) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.10, Section 5.21 and Section 5.23 (which in no event shall be deemed to include or refer to matters subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(g) and Section 7.1(h)) and (B) the matters set forth in Schedule 7.1(f), the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Sellers of the Selling Management Group may be liable to the Globant Indemnified Parties may exceed the Cap but in no event (taking into account any other amount paid or payable by the Sellers pursuant to other matters subject to indemnification under Section 7.1(a) -excluding Fundamental Representations-, Section 7.1(f), Section 7.1(g) and Section 7.1(h)) shall exceed the amount of US$30,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of the foregoing, (1) with respect to indemnity claims against each of the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group arising out of, or in connection with, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.10, Section 5.21 and Section 5.23 or the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(g), Section 7.1(h) and Section 7.1(f), the Cap shall apply for a portion of the Damages that shall not exceed the applicable Seller’s Ownership Percentage of the Cap; and (2) with respect to indemnity claims arising out of, or in connection with, the matters included in items (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence in respect to which the Liability of the Sellers of the Non-Selling Management Group is subject to the Cap, the relevant indemnification obligation vis-à-vis the Purchasers in excess of the Cap shall be assumed entirely and exclusively by the Sellers of the Selling Management Group jointly and severally regardless of their respective Seller’s Ownership Percentages so that the Global Indemnified Parties be indemnified in full;

(II) (A) with respect to the Sellers of the Selling Management Group, the Cap shall not apply with respect to claims under Section 7.1(a) resulting from the breach of a Fundamental Representation made by each such Seller of the Selling Management Group, provided that any Liability thereunder shall be limited to the Purchase Price effectively received by the Sellers of the Selling Management Group (as it may be adjusted pursuant to, and net of any applicable withholding, deductions, or adjustments as provided in this Agreement), less the aggregate amount of any indemnification provided by such Sellers under any other indemnification provision in this Agreement, and (B) with respect to the 
60

Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group, the Cap shall not apply with respect to claims under Section 7.1(a) resulting from the breach of the representations and warranties such relevant Seller of the Selling Non-Management Group made in ARTICLE 5, provided that any Liability thereunder shall be limited to the applicable Seller’s Ownership Percentage of the Purchase Price effectively received by the breaching Seller (as it may be adjusted pursuant to, and net of any applicable withholding, deductions, or adjustments as provided in this Agreement), less the aggregate amount of any indemnification provided by such Seller under any other indemnification provision in this Agreement;

(III) the aggregate Liability of the Sellers resulting from any matter subject to indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE 7 (including matters set forth in Schedule 7.1(f) or pursuant to Section 7.1(g) and Section 7.1(h)) shall in no event exceed the amount of the Purchase Price effectively received by the Sellers (as it may have been adjusted pursuant to, and net of any applicable withholding, deductions, or adjustments as provided in this Agreement) on or prior to the date the particular Damage is payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7; and

(IV) the aggregate Liability of the Sellers in respect of intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 5, or willful breach, shall not be limited. 

(c) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 7, the Purchasers shall have the right to set off any amounts due to any Globant Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 against, (i) until the Earn Out Payment Date, such Earn Out Payment, or in case such Earn Out Payment is insufficient to pay in full such amounts due to any Globant Indemnified Party, the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2, and (ii) after the Earn Out Payment, the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2. The Purchasers agree that, with respect to the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group, the Purchasers shall not be entitled to deduct or withhold from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 any Damages other than up the respective Seller’s Ownership Percentages, and the Purchasers shall not withhold or deduct or adjust any amount payable to Sellers (y) based on an alleged breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.10, 5.21, 5.23, 5.24, and 5.34 or any of the matters set forth in Schedule 7.1(f) unless a Third-Party Claim in connection therewith has been notified and only then only to the extent such deduction, withholding or adjustment is and as permitted under this Agreement in connection with that specific Third-Party Claim, or (z) with respect to Damages resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with Excluded Matters in excess of the Excluded Matters Coverage, other than as provided for in Section 7.5(e).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) each Seller acknowledges and agrees that it does not have any right of indemnification, contribution or reimbursement from or remedy against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any indemnification it is required to make under or based upon, arising out of, caused by or in connection with the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any such breach or inaccuracy of a representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary); (ii) each Seller hereby releases, waives and forever discharges any right to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement that it may have at any time against the Company or any Subsidiary under or based upon, arising out of, caused by or in connection 
61

with the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (iii) each of the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that it does not have any right of indemnification, contribution or reimbursement from or remedy against the Sellers (either as a result of any indemnification it is required to make under or based upon, arising out of, caused by or in connection with the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any such breach or inaccuracy of a representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary) or otherwise) or the inviduals appointed by the Sellers as officers or directors of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, except in either case in their capacity as sellers of the Purchased Interests pursuant to this Agreement; and (iv) each of the Purchasers, effective as of the Closing, hereby releases, waives and forever discharges (and it shall cause that each of the Company and its Affiliates, releases, waives and forever discharges) any right to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement that it may have at any time (with respect to any Seller that shall continue any labor relationship with the Purchaser or its Affiliates, only through the Closing) against the Sellers or the inviduals appointed by the Sellers as officers or directors of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries under or based upon, arising out of, caused by or in connection with any capacity other than as sellers of the Purchased Interests pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) (1) Except for the rights for indemnification arising from the items set forth in Schedule 7.1(f), the Brazilian Matters and the Excluded Matters, the rights to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise shall exclude any claims regarding matters which have been disclosed by the Sellers in the representations and warranties made in ARTICLE 5 and the Disclosure Schedule attached as Schedule 5. Likewise, to avoid duplication of claims, matters covered under the indemnity obligation set forth in Sections 7.1(f), 7.1(g), and 7.1(h) shall not be deemed, nor shall be, also covered by the indemnity obligation set forth in Section 7.1(a) or any other paragraph of Section 7.1. 

(2) The Purchasers hereby acknowledge that the Purchase Price has been determined taking into account that the Purchasers shall, effective as of the Closing, forever and unconditionally discharge (and shall have the Company and its Subsidiaries to discharge and release as of such date) the Sellers for any Liability or Damage that any of the Purchasers, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries had suffered or may ever suffer at any time in connection with the Excluded Matters up to the amount of the Excluded Matters Coverage, and if any Damage resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with the Excluded Matters exceeds, calculated as from the Closing and whether individually or in the aggregate, the Excluded Matters Coverage, then:

(I) if such Damage is suffered by the Indemnified Party at any time within the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand and limited to the applicable Seller’s Ownership Percentage of the Purchase Price effectively received by each Seller (as it may be adjusted pursuant to, and net of any applicable withholding, deductions, or adjustments as provided in this Agreement), shall bear the resulting Liability in halves, and

(II) if such Damage is suffered by the Indemnified Party at any time after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, those Damages and Liability shall be borne exclusively by the Purchasers. 
62

For the avoidance of doubt, any claim for Liability in connection with Excluded Matters made after the second anniversary of the Closing Date shall be disregarded, and the only claims for indemnification that the Purchasers may make within the referred period shall be in connection with Damages actually suffered by the Indemnified Party resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with the Excluded Matters (i.e., not holdback is authorized in connection therewith unless and until Damage is actually suffered and notice of claim is timely delivered on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date). Furthermore, (i) the calculations to determine whether the Excluded Matters Coverage has been exceeded shall be made taking into account all Damages suffered as from the Closing in the aggregate, (ii) for purpose of this Section 7.5(e), notwithstanding the scope of defined term “Damage,” the making and/or increase of a provision by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or the Purchasers and its Affiliates after the Closing shall not be deemed as a Damage unless the provision and/or its increase is made based on the fact that the claimed amount of any of the Excluded Matters is actually higher than the corresponding amount set forth in Exhibit C for each Excluded Matter and then only up to the balance of the difference, and (iii) for purpose of this Section 7.5(e) “Damage” shall also be deemed to have been suffered (and thus paragraph (2)(I) above shall apply) when the relevant defendant in an Action set forth in Exhibit C actually pays to the plaintiff or claimant thereunder.

(e) bis The rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE 7 shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of any Globant Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Globant Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining (i) whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE 5, and (ii) the amount of Damages for which the Purchasers may be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7, (1) each such representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications or limitations as to materiality (including any qualifications or limitations made by reference to a Material Adverse Effect), and (2) in connection with Damages in any currency other than US Dollars, the relevant amount shall be converted at the Applicable FX Rate as of the close of business of the date immediately prior to the date when such Damage was effectively suffered by the Indemnified Party.

(g) Except to the extent any of the foregoing are awarded in a judgement issued by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction in any Third Party Claim, Sellers shall not under any circumstances be liable for special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, remote, loss of profit or revenue, or consequential losses (including loss of profits, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of goodwill or business reputation or opportunity) suffered or incurred by any applicable Indemnified Party as a result of any Damage or an Action or Order instituted or asserted against the Indemnified Party. 

(h) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable in respect of Damages to the extent that the matter giving rise to such Damages: (i) occurs as a result of any applicable Law not in force at the date of the Closing or any change in applicable Law having retroactive effect which comes into 
63

force after the date of the Closing; or (ii) occurs as a result of any change in accounting or tax practice after the Closing; or (iii) occurs as a result of any action taken by the Purchaser after Closing. 

(i)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Damage to the extent that such Damage has been effectively recovered by the Indemnified Party under another provision of this Agreement. 

(j)    In the event the Purchasers claims indemnification from Sellers for any Damages, the amount of such Damages shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit “actually realized” by the Purchasers or its Affiliates. In addition, in the event that, in connection with any Damage in respect of which Purchasers have effectively received indemnification, Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall have “actually realized” any net Tax benefit resulting from or arising out of such Damage, the Purchasers shall, promptly after having actually realized such net Tax benefit, deliver to Sellers of the Selling Management Group an amount in cash equal to the amount of such net Tax benefit that shall be attributable to such indemnified Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes required to be paid by the Indemnified Party is reduced below the amount of Taxes that it would have been required to pay but for deductibility of such Damages, in each case: (i) during the same Tax year as the year in which the relevant Damages occurred; (ii) calculated so that the items related to the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations are the last to be recognized; and (iii) as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party.

(k) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to pay any amount in discharge of any Damage subject to indemnification under this Agreement unless and until the indemnifiable Damage in respect of which the relevant Claim is made has been actually suffered by the Indemnified Party; provided that the foregoing does not limit the right of Purchasers to withhold or deduct amounts in accordance with Section 7.5.(c); provided, further, however, that if Purchasers withhold or deduct amounts owed to the Sellers in connection with a Claim for indemnification to Sellers, the amounts so withheld and deducted shall be deemed held in escrow subject to the final resolution of the underlying matter and any related dispute between the relevant Parties, and any such amounts, net of the amounts in connection with the Damages actually suffered in accordance with and pursuant to this ARTICLE 7), shall be immediately released (in full or partially, as applicable) to Sellers, along with accrued interest for the benefit of the Sellers at 6% per annum as from the deduction or withholding date until the effective release to the Sellers. In any event, in connection with any amounts withheld or deducted by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 7.5.(c), the Purchasers shall be entitled to deposit such amounts with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Sellers, in which case, such amounts shall only be remunerated in accordance with the terms of the relevant escrow account and no interests on such amounts shall be payable by Purchasers.    
 
(l) Each of the Purchasers shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate any Damage suffered by it which has resulted in or could result in a Claim hereunder. 

(m) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7 in respect of any matter to the extent that it has been taken into account for purposes of calculating the adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.5.
64

(n) For the avoidance of doubt, indemnity claims in connection with matters identified in Schedule 7.1(f) are subject to Sections 7.3(b), (c), and (d).

7.6.     Brazilian Litigation Assumed by Sellers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the Brazilian Matters the following shall apply:

(a) The Sellers of the Selling Management group shall continue to be the sole responsible for conducting, and shall continue to have the sole control over, the defense of such matters, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense; provided, however, that (a) the Purchasers shall at all times be entitled to monitor the defense (but shall neither conduct nor control such defense in any case), at their sole cost and expense, for which purpose the Sellers will provide the Purchasers with copies of complaints, pleadings, notices, communications and any other materials with respect to the Brazilian Matters as may be requested by the Purchasers; (b) the Purchasers shall (and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) reasonably cooperate with the Sellers for them to control and carry out the defense of such matters; and (c) the Sellers shall maintain at all times legal counsel of recognized standing for conducting the defense of such matters.  

(b) On the date which is sixty (60) calendar day prior to the Tranche 2 Subscription Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day), the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers a certificate (the “Certificate”) classifying, as of that date, the Brazilian Matters as follows: (i) such Brazilian Matters with respect to which the Sellers have after Closing prevailed as determined by a conclusive and definitive Order issued by the applicable Brazilian Government Body (the “Successful Brazilian Litigation”), (ii) such Brazilian Matters with respect to which the Sellers reasonably believe that they will prevail and end such litigation in a definitive and conclusive manner on or before the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date (such additional period until the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date, the “Additional Period”, and the “Pending Brazilian Litigation”, respectively), and (iii) the remaining Brazilian Matters not included in any of the foregoing items (i) and (ii) (the “Unresolved Brazilian Litigation”). The Certificate shall (a) state the Sellers’ determination of (1) the amounts, together with any applicable interest, court fees, legal fees and expenses of the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation as of the date of the Certificate plus an estimate of any applicable interest, court fees, legal fees and expenses to cover for the period as at the Tranche 2 Subscription Date (the “Amount of Unresolved Brazilian Litigation”); and (2) the amounts, together with any applicable interest, court fees, legal fees and expenses of the Pending Brazilian Litigation as of the date of the Certificate plus an estimate of any applicable interest, court fees, legal fees and expenses to cover for the period until the Deferred Tranche 2 Subscription Date (the “Amount of Pending Brazilian Litigation”); (b) include any updated information including as to the procedural instance and status; and (c) attach an opinion of Brazilian legal counsel of recognized standing supporting the Sellers’ evaluation and determination in respect of each of the Pending Brazilian Litigation and Unresolved Brazilian Litigation as stated in the Certificate. Sellers shall make available for Purchasers (if not already held by the relevant Subsidiaries) copy of any written material information in support of the Certificate.

(c) The Purchasers shall have thirty (30) calendar days, counted as from the date of Purchasers’ receipt of the Certificate, to either accept or object to the Certificate. If the Purchasers accept the Certificate, then (a) the Purchasers shall give the Sellers notice that such Certificate has been accepted, which Certificate shall then become conclusive and binding for purposes hereof; 
65

and (b) the Purchasers, on the Tranche 2 Subscription Date, shall (i) set off the Amount of Unresolved Brazilian Litigation against the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 and upon such set off it shall be deemed that Purchasers have fully, irrevocably and unconditionally released and discharged the Sellers from any Liability in connection with the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation, (ii) assume as from such date the exclusive and sole defense of the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation, and (iii) withhold from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2, the Amount of Pending Brazilian Litigation plus an amount equivalent to 15% of the Amount of Pending Brazilian Litigation to cover for any unexpected additional applicable interest, fees and expenses (together with the Amount of Pending Brazilian Litigation, the “Withheld Amount for Pending Brazilian Litigation”), for the Additional Period, so that the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 shall be reduced by such Withheld Amount for Pending Brazilian Litigation and by the Amount of Unresolved Brazilian Litigation; provided that if upon lapse of such Additional Period any Pending Brazilian Litigation continues to be contested, challenged or litigated, the Purchasers shall set off against the Deferred Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 an amount equivalent to the cost of paying the Pending Brazilian Litigation in full, together with any applicable fines, interests, court fees, legal fees and expenses as calculated as of the end of such Additional Period, upon such set off it shall be deemed that the Purchasers have fully, irrevocably and unconditionally released and discharged the Sellers from any Liability in connection with the Pending Brazilian Litigation; provided, further, that if upon the lapse of such Additional Period any such matter is finally settled, or otherwise finally discharged, the corresponding amounts shall not be deducted from the Deferred Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2.

(d) If the Purchasers object to the Certificate (“Certificate Objection”), then the Purchasers shall notify the Sellers of such Certificate Objection (the “Certificate Objection Notice”), (a) describing the basis for the Certificate Objection in a reasonable detail manner, and (b) attaching an opinion of legal counsel supporting the Certificate Objection. Promptly after receiving the Certificate Objection Notice, the Purchasers and the Sellers, acting jointly through a designated representative, shall use diligent good faith efforts to resolve the Certificate Objection between themselves. If they are unable to resolve such Certificate Objection within thirty (30) calendar days after the delivery of the relevant Certificate Objection Notice, then the resolution of the Certificate Objection shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 12.13. In this event, any disputed amount regarding the Pending Brazilian Litigation and the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation shall be withheld by the Purchasers from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 until the arbitration award on the disputed matters has become final.  

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Pending Brazilian Litigation and the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation (excluding any such costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with monitoring such litigation, “Monitoring Expenses”) shall be borne exclusively by the Sellers, which amounts shall be deducted from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 or from the Withheld Amount for Pending Brazilian Litigation, as applicable; and, if the Purchasers incur in any costs, fees and expenses in connection therewith (but excluding Monitoring Expenses), to the extent reasonable and documented, they shall also be entitled to deduct them immediately after incurred from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2 or from the Withheld Amount for Pending Brazilian Litigation, as applicable.  Once the Purchasers have made the relevant set off agreed to in Section 7.6.(c) or as resolved pursuant to Section 7.6.(d), any costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Unresolved Brazilian Litigation and, if applicable, the Pending Brazilian Litigation, shall be respectively borne exclusively by the Purchasers (or any of their Affiliates) and thus the 
66

Purchasers shall not be entitled to make any deduction, withholding or set off thereafter against any amount payable or to be released to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

7.7.     Damages Net of Insurance and Recovery. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Damages shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy, with respect to such Damages, less any increase in the corresponding premium, or the amounts otherwise paid to the Indemnified Party under any other third-party indemnity arrangement, and (ii) prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Third Party with respect to such Damages. If any such insurance or recovery from third-party has not been collected prior to the payment by the relevant Sellers of any indemnity claim under this ARTICLE 7, the Purchasers shall (and shall cause its relevant Affiliates to) assign any such right to collect any such insurance or third-party payment to the Sellers. If any recovery amount referred to in this Section 7.7 is paid, received or otherwise available for payment to the Indemnified Party, such amount shall be promptly collected and transfer to the Sellers that borne the payment of the related Damage; and if the Purchasers or the Indemnified Party subsequently becomes entitled to such recovery after the Sellers have indemnified the Purchasers for the related Damage, then they shall take prompt action as the Sellers may reasonably require to enforce the recovery against the third-party or insurer.

7.8.     No Duplicative Recovery. Where substantially the same events or circumstances qualify under one or more single or multiple claims or under one or more provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification shall not be entitled to double or duplicative recovery of Damages arising out of such events or circumstances, or to calculate its Damages by duplicating or double counting its Damages arising out of such events or circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Indemnified Party is entitled to bring the claim under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Indemnified Party may choose at its sole and absolute discretion the provision or provisions under which it seeks indemnification.

7.9.     Subrogation. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party makes any payment pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 in respect of Damages for which any Indemnified Party has a right to recover against a Third Party (including an insurance company), such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the right of such Indemnified Party to seek and obtain recovery from such Third Party. 

7.10.    Fraud; Willful Misconduct. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 to the extent any Damages were solely attributable to such Indemnified Party’s willful breach or intentional fraud. No matter or item disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule admitting or indicating a possible breach or violation of any contract, Law or order shall be construed as an admission or indication to any third party that an actual breach or violation exists, has actually occurred or will occur.

7.11.    Exclusive Remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled according to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Except in the case of intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 5 or willful breach of any of 
67

the Parties (as to which none of the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 7 will apply), from and after the Closing, the rights of any Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 7 (including, any right to specific performance) will be the sole and exclusive remedy of such Indemnified Party with respect to claims for breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, or warranties, or breach of any of the covenants and agreements, in each case, that are indemnifiable under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 7. Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 7.11 or to seek any remedy on account of intentional fraud or willful breach by any party hereto.

7.12.    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. (a) THE PURCHASERS AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, (I) THE LIABILITY OF EACH OF HSBC I, HSBC II, IFC AND MAFIMAR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN IS ONLY SEVERAL AND NOT JOINT, AND (II) THE LIABILITY OF EACH OF THE SELLERS OF THE SELLING MANAGEMENT GROUP SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL (FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, SUCH JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF EACH SELLERS OF THE SELLING MANAGEMENT GROUP IS LIMITED TO THE LIABILITY OF ANY OF THE SELLERS OF THE SELLING MANAGEMENT GROUP AND NOT WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER SELLER).

The Sellers shall not be liable for any indemnification claim under this ARTICLE 7 which would not have arisen but for any reorganization or change in ownership of the Company after Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the sale of Purchased Interests at Closing in accordance with this Agreement).

(a) During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the Sellers of the Selling Management Group shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to carry on the Business of the Company and its business organization in all material respects in the ordinary course consistent with past practice.

Without limiting the foregoing, from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, and the Sellers of the Selling Management Group shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to:

(i) transfer, issue, grant, deliver or sell or authorize or propose the issuance, delivery or sale of, any ordinary stock or preferred stock or securities convertible into, or subscriptions, rights, warrants or options to acquire, or other agreements or commitments of any character obligating it to issue any such ordinary stock or preferred stock or other convertible securities or any stock or rights pursuant to phantom stock agreements or stock option agreements;

8.3.    Exclusivity. During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, without the prior approval of the Purchasers, none of the Company or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit, facilitate or encourage proposals from or enter into or continue discussions or negotiations with or furnish any nonpublic information to any other Person regarding the possible sale of the Purchased Interests (including any security that is convertible into capital stock of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries), a material portion of the Company’s assets or any merger or similar transaction or any financing transaction (an “Alternative Transaction”). Upon the signing and delivery of this Agreement, to the extent it has not already done so, the Sellers will, and will cause the Company to, immediately terminate any ongoing discussions with any other third parties regarding a possible Alternative Transaction and request the return of any confidential information provided to third parties in connection with a potential Alternative Transaction. The Sellers will, and will cause the Company to, deal exclusively with the Purchasers notwithstanding any such third party proposals.

8.4.    Publicity. The Purchasers and the Sellers agree that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued without the prior consent of the other Party, except where such announcement is required under applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange or trading system. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, upon the Closing, the Parties may issue a press release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers and the Purchasers. 

8.5.    Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, the Parties shall do or cause to be done all such commercially reasonable acts and things as may be necessary, 
71

proper or advisable, consistent with all applicable Laws, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, as soon as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and the other Parties shall cooperate with such efforts, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further documents and instruments, in each case as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable judgment of any Party to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

8.6.    Non-Competition. Each Seller of the Selling Management Group acknowledges and agrees that such Seller of the Selling Management Group has had access to or received and may continue to have access to valuable confidential information and trade secrets of the Company (including its Subsidiaries) and exposure to key suppliers, service providers, and clients or customers of the Company (including its Subsidiaries). Accordingly, because of such Seller of the Selling Management Group’s access to, and knowledge of, the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets and key suppliers, service providers and clients or customers, as well as Seller of the Selling Management Group’s extraordinary position within the Company, such Sellers of the Selling Management Group would be in a unique position to divert business from the Company and to commit irreparable damage to the Company were such Seller of the Selling Management Group to be allowed to compete with the Company or to commit any of the other acts prohibited below. Each Seller of the Selling Management Group therefore recognizes that the assumption of non-competition and non-solicitation obligations by such Seller is a key consideration and an essential condition for Purchasers’ decision to enter into this Agreement, and is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and in order to protect the legal rights and interests of all Parties under this Agreement. Each Seller of the Selling Management Group acknowledges and agrees that the limitations of time, geography, and scope of activity set forth in this ARTICLE 8 are reasonable because, among other things, the Company is engaged in a highly competitive industry; the Sellers of the Selling Management Group have had and may continue to have access to the trade secrets and knowhow of the Company, including without limitation the plans and strategy (and in particular, the competitive strategy) of Company; and these limitations are necessary to protect the trade secrets, Confidential Information, and goodwill of the Company. Accordingly, each Seller of the Selling Management Group (and unless it is authorized in writing by the Purchasers) hereby undertakes, (i) for the period of thirty-six (36) months from the Closing Date; or (ii) only with respect to those Sellers of the Selling Management Group that after Closing shall continue to have an employment relationship with the Company, the Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof, as applicable, twenty-four (24) months from the termination of such employment relationship; whichever of precedent (i) and (ii) occurs last, the obligation not to, directly or indirectly, on his own account, jointly with or on behalf of any other Person or corporation as an independent contractor, partner, joint venture partner or agent, or as principal, or otherwise on any account or pretense or as a trustee, officer, director, manager, shareholder, employee, advisor, or agent of any corporation, trust or other business organization or commercial entity, compete with the Company, the Purchasers and/or its Affiliates, in any state or country, territory or jurisdiction in activities defined for the purposes of this Section 8.6. as follows: the business of providing outsourced services of (a) consulting, (b) design, development, maintenance and implementation of custom software applications, custom digital products and custom websites, (c) consulting and advise for the purpose of digital transformation, and, any other activities carried out by the Company, including the Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement (the “Activities”), being therefore the Sellers of the Selling Management Group prevented from doing the following (“Non-Competition Obligation”) unless it is authorized in writing by the Purchasers: 

72

(a) Holding any equity interest (other than minority interest representing more than 2% (two percent)) in companies whose activities are the same as or similar to or are directly or indirectly competing with the Activities; 

(b) Rendering consultancy, management or other similar services in connection to the Activities to third parties (including but not limited to the past and / or current clients of the Company or its Subsidiaries);

(c) Becoming a director, officer, trustee, agent, advisor, manager, an employee services renderer or consultant or contractor of any company or business organization or commercial entity which activities are the same or similar to or are directly or indirectly competing with the Activities; or 

(d) Commencing, owning, operating, managing, joining, establishing, engaging in, assisting, having an interest in, controlling, or carrying on, or attempting to or agreeing to commence, own, operate, manage, join, establish, engage in, assist, have an interest in, control, or carry on an Activity which is the same as or substantially similar to the Activities, in any manner other than holding any minority interest representing no more than 5% (five percent) in companies whose activities are the same as or similar to or are directly or indirectly competing with the Activities.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers of the Selling Non-Management Group are not subject to, nor liable in connection with, this Section 8.6 or Section 8.7.

8.7.    Non-Solicitation. Each  of the Sellers of the Selling Management Group hereby undertakes, (i) for the period of thirty-six (36) months from the Closing Date or (ii) only with respect to those Sellers of the Selling Management Group that after Closing shall continue to have an employment relationship with the Company, the Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof, as applicable, twenty-four (24) months from the termination of such employment relationship; whichever of precedent (i) and (ii) occurs last, whether directly or indirectly, by themselves or in association with or through any Person, in any manner whatsoever, not to (i) contract, subcontract or enter into a joint venture with any of the employees or managers of the Company or of any Subsidiary (to the extent such Person was an employee or manager thereof as of the Closing Date); (ii) tender for, canvass or solicit or attempt to tender for, canvass or solicit the business related to the Activities of or employment of any client or customer of the Company; (iii) induce or attempt to induce any client, customer or supplier of the Company to cease to deal with the Company or otherwise interfere with the relationship between such client, customer or supplier and the Company; or (iv) perform any actions towards co-opting the clients of the Company and/or interrupting any transaction in progress among the Company and such clients (with regards to the Company’s Activities); or (v) assist, influence, encourage or induce any of the foregoing actions in paragraphs (i) through (iv) in any manner whatsoever (the “Non-Solicitation Obligation”). 

8.8.    Cooperation after Closing. (a) The Sellers shall grant to the Purchasers (or their designees) access, after Closing, at all reasonable times to all of the documents, information, books, data files, and records relating to the Company (including the Subsidiaries) within the possession of the Sellers that are not transferred to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, and shall afford the Purchasers the right to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, to the 
73

extent reasonably necessary to permit the Purchasers (or their designees) to prepare any document that must be filed with any Governmental Body, respond to audits and investigations, prosecute protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities or with third parties.

Without prejudice to the rights of the Sellers set forth in Section 1.3, Section 1.4, Section 1.5, and Section 8.1, the Purchasers shall grant or cause the Company to grant to the Sellers (or their designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the information, books and records relating to the Company within the possession of the Purchasers or the Company, and shall afford the Sellers (or their designees) the right to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Sellers (or their designees) to prepare responses, respond to audits and investigations, prosecute protests, appeals and claims and to conduct negotiations with any Governmental Body or with third parties.

(b) The Sellers of the Selling Management Group shall cooperate with the Purchasers to cause the Company and/or the relevant Subsidiaries, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, to:

(i) prepare the unaudited financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2020, within 15 calendar days after the Closing Date;

(ii) prepare the applicable transfer pricing reports in connection with intercompany operations performed by GA US (for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019), GA Mexico I, GA Mexico II, BS Argentina, DS Argentina, BTP Argentina and GAVA Argentina among them and/or with the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries;

8.9.    Exit of certain Key Employees. The Sellers of the Selling Management Group shall cooperate with the Purchasers to cause each of RW and Pablo Andrés Dougall, as promptly as possible after January 1, 2021 (and in the case of RW irrevocably and expressly hereby agrees) to terminate his employment relationship, releasing and discharging the Company and the Subsidiaries of any Claim against or Liability of any of them, in accordance with the provisions of the termination agreement contemplated in Section 4.2(n) or by any other means that may or may not require the filing of the relevant agreement for homologation (homologación) with the applicable Governmental Body with jurisdiction over labor matters. It is agreed that the aggregate amount to be paid by the Company and/or the Subsidiaries in connection with the severance 
74

agreements referred to herein shall in no case exceed the amount set forth in the form of  termination agreement referred to in Section 4.2(n).

ARTICLE 9

Each of the Parties shall promptly give to the other party notice of any information in its possession regarding any Rejection Decision (including all notices, documents 
75

In case of a Rejection Decision, this Agreement shall nonetheless constitute a valid and binding agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed consummated and final as among the Parties, and the amounts paid and payable under this Agreement to the Sellers shall not be changed, altered, reduced or otherwise affected pursuant thereto. Upon issuance of a Rejection Decision, the Purchasers shall be entitled, at their sole discretion and costs and expenses, to: (i) accept the remedies proposed by the antitrust authorities; (ii) propose other remedies as it deem fit; (iii) implement one or more transactions, at Purchasers’ sole election, involving the direct or indirect sale, assignment, totally or partially, of the Purchased Interests or its rights over the Purchased Interests, or a portion thereof, to a third party.

With respect to any Tax Return covering a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Taxable Period”) that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Company, (a) the Purchasers shall prepare or cause such Tax Return to be prepared as required by applicable Law, and shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to the Sellers, for its review and approval at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return, (b) the Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other in order to finalize such Tax Return, and (c) thereafter, subject to the Sellers’ payment to the Purchasers (provided that, if not paid by the Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after being required by Purchasers to do so, the Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct the relevant amounts from any following payment to be made to the Sellers, including from the Cash for G-Shares Tranche 2) of any portion of any Taxes shown as due and payable on such Tax Return with respect to the portion of the period that ends on the Closing Date that was not reflected as a liability in the calculation of the Net Working Capital or the Minimum Required Cash, the Purchasers shall cause such Tax Return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall pay all Taxes shown as due and payable on such Tax Return. If the Sellers and the Purchasers are unable to resolve any disputes arising hereunder within thirty (30) calendar days, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Financial Arbitrator for determination and the procedure set forth in Section 1.4.(c) shall apply mutatis mutandi. Tax Liability for a Straddle Taxable Period shall be apportioned between the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the taxable period beginning after the Closing Date. Such apportionments shall be made on a per diem basis for (i) income, turn over and similar Taxes, including Taxes based on net-worth capital, intangibles or 
77

similar items, and (ii) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation). Such apportionment shall be made for all other Taxes on the basis of a “closing of the books” as of the end of the Closing Date.

10.4.    Cooperation. The Sellers shall grant to the Purchasers (or its designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the documents, information, books and records relating to the Company within the possession of the Sellers that are not transferred to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, and shall afford the Purchasers (or their designees) the right to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Purchasers (or their designees) to prepare Tax Returns, respond to Tax audits and investigations, prosecute Tax protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities. The Purchasers shall grant or cause the Company to grant to the Sellers (or their designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the information, books and records relating to the Company for taxable periods and portions of taxable periods through the Closing Date within the possession of the Purchasers or the Company, and shall afford the Sellers (or their designees) the right to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Sellers (or their designees) to prepare Tax Returns, respond to Tax audits and investigations, prosecute Tax protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities. After the Closing Date, the Parties will preserve all information, records or documents in their respective possessions relating to liabilities for Taxes of the Company for Pre-Closing Taxable Periods or Straddle Taxable Periods until six months after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes.

TERMINATION

11.1.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Purchasers;

(b) by Purchasers by written notice to the Sellers if Purchasers are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in ARTICLE 4 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Sellers within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of written notice of such breach from Purchasers;

(c) by Sellers by written notice to Purchasers if Sellers are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in ARTICLE 4 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Purchasers within fifteen (15) days of Purchasers’ receipt of written notice of such breach from the Sellers; 

(d) by Purchasers or Sellers in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited 
78

or (ii) any Governmental Body shall have issued an Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable; or

(e) as set forth in Section 3.1, by either the Purchasers or the Sellers by delivery of written notice to the other Party, if the Closing does not occur by July 31, 2020.

11.3.    Effect of Closing. Upon completion of the Closing at Closing Date, each Party shall be deemed to have waived its respective rights to terminate this Agreement. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of any other rights arising from the nonfulfillment of any condition precedent set forth in ARTICLE 4 unless such waiver is made in writing.

ARTICLE 12
GENERAL

12.1.    Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by the written agreement of the Parties hereto.

12.2.    Waiver of Compliance. Any failure of Purchasers, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound by such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure.

12.3.    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Governmental Body making such determination is authorized and instructed to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

12.4.    Expenses and Transaction Taxes. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including negotiation of any documents and ancillary agreements (the “Transaction Documents”), shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party that has incurred in such expenses. All Taxes and costs incurred by the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including negotiation of any Transaction Documents shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party that has incurred in such Taxes, expenses or costs, except for (i) any stamp duty or Tax levied on any of the Transaction Documents, and (ii) any Taxes paid or due in connection with the filings made to obtain any pre-closing mandatory merger 
79

control notification or request before the relevant antitrust authority, in which cases the applicable Taxes shall be borne by Purchasers and Sellers by halves. It is further agreed that any notarial costs and expenses due in connection with the preparation and execution of the notarial deeds required to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.2(I) shall be borne by the Purchasers and the Sellers by halves. If any of such cost or expense is charged or paid by either Sellers or the Purchasers, such Sellers or Purchasers shall as soon as practicable be reimbursed from the other Party with its corresponding 50% share.

12.5.    Parties in Interest. Other than as specifically provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person, other than the Parties hereto (and persons specifically granted indemnification rights hereunder), any rights or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.
