The Representative Expense Amount shall be withheld from each Contributing Securityholder based on such Contributing Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share, and each Contributing Securityholder shall be deemed to have contributed to the Representative Expense Fund such Contributing Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Representative Expense Amount, to be held by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement. At the Funding Time, Buyer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Representative an amount in cash equal to the Representative Expense Amount (such funds being referred to herein as the “Representative Expense Fund”). The Representative shall hold the Representative Expense Fund as partial security for the reimbursement obligations of the Indemnifying Parties to the Representative in connection with performance of its duties under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Contributing Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings.

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT. THE ISSUER OF THESE SHARES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

   

  (f)	Withholding Rights. 

  (i)	Buyer, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, the 104H Trustee and the 102 Trustee (each, the “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts that the Payor, as the case may be, reasonably determines are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law in respect of Taxes, the Israel Tax Ordinance, or under any other applicable Law. Such withholding shall be at a withholding rate that takes into account any timely provided and applicable validly executed Tax forms, and the Payor may request and be provided any necessary and validly executed Tax forms, including valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the appropriate version of Form W-8, as applicable, and any similar information. The foregoing shall be subject to the provisions of the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling and/or the Interim Options Tax Ruling and the 104H Tax Ruling and/or 104H Interim ruling as applicable.  To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be (i) treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, and (ii) remitted to applicable Taxing Authority, the Payor shall provide upon request to such person a certificate of the tax withheld. To the extent that the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such Person shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) for any Taxes directly imposed on Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) by any Taxing Authorities together with any related Losses solely to the extent such Tax and Losses directly result from the lack of withholding from the said Person.

  (ii)	With respect to Israeli Tax, and provided that the Paying Agent provided Buyer with the Paying Agent undertaking prior to the Closing Date as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Paying Agent Undertaking”), the Total Consideration payable to each of the Company Shareholders (excluding holders of Company 102 Shares) hereunder (excluding amounts held in the Escrow Fund under Section 2.5(b), and shares retained by the 104H Trustee), shall be paid to and retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of each such Company Shareholder for a period of 180 days from Closing or an earlier date required in writing by a Company Shareholder (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time neither Buyer nor the Paying Agent shall withhold any Israeli Tax on such consideration, except as provided below), and during which time each Company Shareholder (excluding holders of Company 102 Shares) may obtain a certification or 

   

  

   

  ruling (which, for avoidance of doubt, with respect to Specified Individuals only, included, Buyer’s opportunity to review, comment and approve the application to the ITA) issued by the ITA, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and the Paying Agent (the “Qualified Withholding Certificate”), (x) exempting Buyer from the duty to withhold Israeli Taxes with respect to such Company Securityholder or (y) determining the applicable rate of Israeli Tax to be withheld from such Company Securityholder.  In the event that no later than five Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, a Company Securityholder (excluding holders of Company 102 Securities and Company 3(i) Options, with respect to the consideration paid for such options) submits a Qualified Withholding Certificate the Paying Agent shall withhold and transfer to the ITA such amount as specified in such Qualified Withholding Certificate, and shall deliver to such Company Securityholder only the balance of the Total Consideration due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Company Securityholder (A) does not provide the Paying Agent with a Qualified Withholding Certificate no later than five Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (B) submits a written request with the Paying Agent to release his portion of the Total Consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Qualified Withholding Certificate at or before such time, then the amount in cash to be withheld from the payment to such Company Securityholder shall be calculated based on the applicable withholding rate on the actual payment date, which amount shall be delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent, and shall deliver to such Company Securityholder the balance of the Total Consideration due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld.

  (iii)	Notwithstanding Section 2.5(f)(ii) above, any payments made to holders of Company Options or Company 102 Shares will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Israeli Tax Ordinance on the 16th day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, unless prior to the 16th day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Tax Ruling) shall have been obtained providing for no withholding. With respect to non-Israeli Tax resident holders of Company Options, that are not Company 102 Options, and which holders were granted such awards in consideration for work performed outside of Israel (and who provide Buyer, prior to any payment to them, with a validly executed declaration, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2.5(f)(iii), regarding their non-Israeli Tax residence and confirmation that they were granted such awards in consideration for work performed outside of Israel), such payments shall not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax.

  (iv)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling shall be received and delivered to Buyer prior to the applicable withholding date in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling, as the case may be, shall apply and all applicable withholding procedures with respect to any Electing Holders shall be made in accordance with Section 104H of the Ordinance, the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling or 104H Interim Ruling, as the case may be.

  (v)	Any amount required to be withheld under this Agreement shall be funded first through a reduction from any portion of cash consideration then payable to such recipient at the Closing Date, and to the extent there is insufficient cash to permit such withholding, through the forfeiture or sale of the portion of the shares of Buyer Common Stock otherwise deliverable to such recipient that is required to enable the Payor to comply with applicable deduction or withholding requirements. Each recipient hereby waives, releases and absolutely and forever discharges Buyer or anyone acting on its behalf from and against any and all claims for any losses in connection with the forfeiture or sale of any portion of the share of 

   

  

   

  Buyer Common Stock otherwise deliverable to such recipient as a result of its forfeiture in compliance with the withholding requirements under this Section 2.5‎(f)

  (c)	Tax Ruling. As soon as practicable following to the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall file, or shall have filed, with the ITA in full coordination with Buyer and Buyer’s Israeli counsel (and Buyer shall have had an opportunity to review, comment on and approve any such applications or other documents prior to their being filed with the ITA, which approval should not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall have provided all reasonable cooperation to the Company in relation thereto), an application for a ruling that provides, in effect, inter alia, (A) that the treatment of Company 102 Options subject to the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) of the Israel Tax Ordinance that are Vested Company Options as contemplated by Section 2.2 and the delivery to the 102 Trustee, with respect to Company 102 Shares held by the 102 Trustee, of consideration as described in Section 2.2, in each case prior to the lapse of the 102 Trust Period, will not be treated as a breach of the provisions of Section 102 of the Israel Tax Ordinance, provided that the applicable consideration paid to holders of (i) Company 102 Options or (ii) Company 102 Shares is deposited for the duration of the 102 Trust Period with the 102 Trustee and that such consideration shall be considered under Section 102 of the Israel Tax Ordinance to be income subject to the “capital gains route”; (B) Buyer and anyone acting on its behalf, including the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the Representative, shall be exempt from withholding Tax in relation to any payments or consideration transferred to the 102 Trustee in relation to Company 102 Shares or Company Options subject to Section 102(b)(2) or 3(i) of the Israel Tax Ordinance; and (C) that the Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund distributions in respect of Company 102 Shares and Company Options subject to Section 102(b)(2) or 3(i) of the Israel Tax Ordinance shall not be subject to Israeli Tax until actually received by the applicable Securityholder (the “Israeli 102 Tax Ruling”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Israeli holder of Options (whether Vested Options or Unvested Options) execute and deliver to the Company their agreement to the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling. If the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing, the Company shall seek to receive prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among others things, that the Total Consideration paid by Buyer to the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the 102 Trustee shall not be subject to Israeli Tax withholding until actually received by the holder of Company 102 Securities and Company 3(i) Options (the “Interim Options Tax Ruling”).  The parties (other than the Representative) will cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate and cooperate and provide all information required with respect to the Company’s preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling or the Interim Options Tax Ruling, as applicable. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Interim Options Tax Ruling and the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that if none of such rulings is obtained for any reason whatsoever by the Closing Date, the Closing shall not be delayed or postponed. For the avoidance of doubt, the language in and provisions of the applicable, the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling and, if applicable, the Interim Options Tax Ruling shall be subject to the prior written approval of Buyer or its counsel and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Should Buyer’s counsel not attend any meeting or discussion with the ITA, the counsel of Company shall provide the Israeli counsel of Buyer with an update of such meeting or discussion within five (5) Business Days of such meeting or discussion.

  (d)	Limitation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) none of the Buyer or the Company shall have any obligation to litigate any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall not be required to (and the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to): (i) agree to any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Buyer, or of 

   

  

   

  the Company or its affiliates, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their businesses, as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted, or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock, or (ii) take any action under this Section ‎8.7 or any other provision of this Agreement if any Governmental Authority that has the authority to enforce any antitrust Law seeks, or authorizes its staff to seek,  a preliminary injunction or restraining order to enjoin consummation of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (except that in such event the Company may take any such steps required in order to defend itself and remove any potential restrictions concerning operation of its business).

  (c)	The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section ‎8.8 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies otherwise available to Buyer or the Company, as applicable, or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement. No disclosure by the Company pursuant to this Section ‎8.8 shall affect or be deemed to modify, amend or supplement any representation or warranty set forth herein, the Disclosure Schedule or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, or limit any right to indemnification provided herein.

  8.9	Access to Information.  During the period from the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall afford Buyer and its accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access upon reasonable notice and during the Company’s (and, as applicable, its Subsidiaries’) normal business hours to (a) all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records, (b) all other information concerning the business, properties and employees (subject to restrictions imposed by applicable Law) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Buyer may reasonably request, excluding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Source Code included within the Company IP, and excluding all Customer Information, and (c) all employees of the Company as identified by Buyer.

  8.14	Consideration Adjustments.  

  (a)	The Company shall deliver to Buyer (a) a draft statement setting forth in reasonable detail and accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation the calculation of (i) the Company Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Shortfall or the Net Working Capital Surplus, as applicable, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iii) the Closing Cash, and (iv) the unpaid Transaction Expenses, each as of the Closing Date in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer not less than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (b) shall deliver to Buyer a final certificate setting forth the calculation of (i) the Company Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Shortfall or the Net Working Capital Surplus, as applicable, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iii) the Closing Cash, (iv) the unpaid Transaction Expenses each as of the Closing Date, and (v) the resulting calculation of the Total Consideration, in reasonable detail and accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which certificate shall be certified as true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in his capacity as such (the “Company Net Working Capital Certificate”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Net Working Capital is to be calculated in the same way, using the same methodologies and accounting practices and principles applied on a consistent basis (including with respect to determining estimates and allowances) as the line items comprising the Company Net Working Capital as set forth on Schedule ‎8.14 in each case, consistent with Company’s past practices and using the policies, principles, conventions, methodologies and procedures used by the Company in the Financial Statements.

  (b)	No later than the [***] calendar day following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Final Net Working Capital Certificate”), certified as true and correct as of such date by an authorized representative of Buyer, setting forth in reasonable detail, using the same methodologies and accounting practices and principles applied on a consistent basis by the Company prior to Closing (including with respect to determining estimates and allowances) as the line items comprising the Company Net Working Capital as set forth in the definition of Company Net Working Capital, Buyer’s good faith calculation of (i) the Company Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Shortfall or the Net Working Capital Surplus, as applicable, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash, and (iii) the unpaid Transaction Expenses, and the calculation of the difference between such items details in clause (i) trough (iii), as applicable, in the Company Net Working Capital Certificate and in the Final Net Working Capital Certificate, if any, together with a reasonably detailed computation thereof including for each component of Company Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash or Transaction Expenses. Upon reasonable request, Buyer will provide the Representative and its advisors reasonable access to the relevant financial records of the Company, including relevant work papers and back-up materials and such other information and materials as reasonably requested by the Representative, that are relevant to the determination of the amounts set forth in Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate until the 30th calendar day following the receipt by the Representative of the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate and during the Accounting Arbitrator process, and the Representative may request one meeting with an employee of Buyer or the Company (which may be telephonic) as Buyer may reasonably deem appropriate at a mutually agreed time to discuss such financial records, work papers and back-up materials.  If the Representative disagrees with any of the amounts set forth in the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate, the Representative shall notify Buyer of such disagreement by the [***] calendar day following receipt by the 

   

  

   

  Representative of the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate, which written notice shall set forth each such disagreement in reasonable detail (“Disagreement Notice”).  If the Representative fails to deliver a Disagreement Notice by such time, the Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the amounts set forth in the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate as delivered by Buyer.  The Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by the Representative and Buyer shall be final and binding upon the Representative and Buyer.  The date of any express or deemed acceptance of the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate or the final resolution of all disputes in regard thereto pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall be the “Determination Date.”

  (c)	If the Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by this Section ‎8.14 by the [***] calendar day following receipt by Buyer of a Disagreement Notice, the Representative and Buyer shall jointly select a mutually acceptable third party from a the Israeli office of one of the “big four” independent certified public accounting firm with expertise in accounting matters, to resolve such disagreement (the firm so retained shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Arbitrator”). If no agreement is reached on the identity of the Accounting Arbitrator within such period, then the Accounting Arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, upon the written request of the Buyer or the Representative, with written evidence of the delivery thereof to the other party. The Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to accept all items and amounts that are not subject to unresolved disputes in accordance with this Section ‎8.14 and to resolve only those items and amounts set forth in the Final Company Net Working Capital Certificate as to which the Representative has disagreed pursuant to a Disagreement Notice and the Representative and Buyer have not resolved their disagreement in accordance with this Section ‎8.14.  The Representative and Buyer shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Arbitrator any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Arbitrator. The Representative and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to deliver to the Representative and Buyer, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In making its determination, the Accounting Arbitrator shall (i) be bound by the definition of Company Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and shall use the same methodologies and accounting practices and principles applied on a consistent basis by the Company prior to Closing (including with respect to determining estimates and allowances) as the line items comprising the Company Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses as set forth in the respective definitions of such terms under this Agreement, and (ii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either the Representative or Buyer or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either the Representative or Buyer. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered on such determination of the Accounting Arbitrator in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced and either party may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision under this Section 8.10(c). The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be allocated between the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) and the Buyer in the same proportion of the relative percentage difference between the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items (before such determination); except in case of fraud or willful misconduct of either Buyer or the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties), in which case such party shall be responsible for 100% of such fees, costs and expenses.  The portion of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator, which is deemed attributable to the Representative (solely on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) shall paid out of the Representative Expense Fund.

   

  

   

  (d)	If the final Total Consideration as finally calculated in accordance with this Section ‎8.14 (the “Final Total Consideration”) is less than the Estimated Total Consideration (such difference, the “Total Consideration Shortfall”), then Buyer and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount in cash equal to the amount of such applicable difference from the Escrow Fund, which shall be deducted from the Company Shareholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. For avoidance of doubt, any recovery of any such deficit from the Escrow Fund shall not be subject to any of limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 10.3. 

  (e)	If the Final Total Consideration is greater than the Estimated Total Consideration  (such difference, the “Total Consideration Surplus”), Buyer or its agent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Total Consideration Surplus, which shall be payable to Company Securityholders in the relative portions that they would have received of such difference if such difference had been included in the Total Consideration at the time of the Closing.

  (f)	Any payment made under this Section ‎8.14, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Total Consideration.

  8.15	Employee Matters.  

  (a)	Company Options. The Company shall not exercise any discretion to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Company Options as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or of the termination of employment or engagement or change in position of any holder thereof following or in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause each Continuing Employee listed in Schedule 8.15(a) to execute and deliver to Buyer a Vesting Acceleration Waiver in a form to be agreed between the Parties prior to the Closing Date, which shall be attached as Exhibit L to this Agreement (the “Vesting Acceleration Waiver”).

  (b)	New RSUs.  [***] 

  (c)	Retention Agreements.  [***] 

  (d)	Reserved. 

  (e)	Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreements. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Employee (other than Contractors) to enter into and execute, and 85% of the Continuing Employees shall be required by the Company to enter into and execute, an employee proprietary information agreement with the Company, in a form satisfactory to Buyer effective as of such Employee’s first date of employment or service. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each current Contractor contributing to the Intellectual Property of the Company to enter into and execute, and each Person who becomes a Contractor after the date hereof and prior to the Closing shall be required by the Company to enter into and execute, a consultant proprietary information agreement with the Company, in a form satisfactory to Parent and Buyer effective as of such Contractor’s first date of service.

Prior to the Closing Date the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence satisfactory to Buyer that (i) a shareholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requisite shareholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments or benefits that were subject to the shareholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained, and as a consequence, because each Person who otherwise might receive any payments or benefits in connection with the Acquisition that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code entered into a 280G waiver (the “280G Waiver”), such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided.

  (i)	No Employment Commitment or Plan Amendments.  No provision of Section 8.15 is intended, or shall be interpreted, to provide nor create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind or nature whatsoever by reason of this Section 8.15 in any Company Shareholder, Key Employee, Employee, consultant, Contractor or any other Person, including any rights of employment for any specified period or any employee benefits, in favor of any Person, union, association, Employee, Key Employee, consultant or Contractor or any other Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all provisions of this Agreement will be personal solely among the parties to this Agreement. In addition, no provision of this Agreement is intended, or shall be interpreted, to amend any term or condition of any Company Employee Plan or any other employee-related plan, program or policy of Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

  8.16	Company Options.  

  (a)	The Company shall not exercise any discretion to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Company Options as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or of the termination of employment or engagement or change in position of any holder thereof following or in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition.

  (c)	The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Optionholder Consent Instrument to be executed on or prior to the Closing Date by the Vested Company Optionholders [***]. Except with respect to the Specified Individuals, it being acknowledged and agreed, that the failure to have all or any part of the Vested Company Optionholders sign the Optionholder Consent Instrument at or prior to Closing, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

  (a)	Tax Returns Filed Before the Closing Date.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will make reasonable efforts to prepare and timely file (i) any income Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries required to be filed with the ITA that are due for the latest taxable year (if such Tax Returns have not been filed) regardless of whether such Tax Returns would otherwise be due prior to the Closing Date and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date.  All Tax Returns filed by the Company prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and in a manner consistent with prior practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law) and shall be provided to Buyer for review not later than 10 days prior to the date for filing, and shall be revised to reflect Buyer’s reasonable comments. The Company shall remit, or cause to be remitted, any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.

  (b)	Tax Returns Filed After the Closing Date.  Buyer will cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries required to be filed after the Closing Date.  With respect to any such income Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”), if such Pre-Closing Tax Return reflects Taxes for which Buyer will seek indemnification pursuant to Article 10, then not later than 20 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (or, if such due date is within 45 days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), Buyer shall provide the Representative with a copy of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return that reflects only operations and Taxes relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a pro forma Tax Return reflecting only such operations and Taxes, and shall revise such Pre-Closing Tax Return to reflect Representative's reasonable comments, and shall not file such Pre-Closing Tax Return without the Representative’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

  (c)	Transfer Taxes.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, value added, goods and services, gross receipts, excise, recording, conveyance, stamp, registration and other similar taxes, charges or fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Company Shareholders when due, and such Company 

   

  

   

  Shareholders shall, at their own expense, prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

  (d)	Cooperation; Audits.  In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for which an indemnification claim could be made pursuant to Article 10, Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Representative (to the extent in its possession) and the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including by retaining records and information and furnishing or making available during normal business hours the records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims relating to such Taxes.

  (e)	Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Anything in any other agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall take all action necessary to cease and terminate any Tax allocation, sharing or indemnity agreement or arrangement (other than between the Company and any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries) effective at the Closing, and all obligations thereunder shall terminate and no additional payments shall be made thereunder after the Closing, except with respect to any claims in effect as of such termination.

  (f)	Tax Treatment. Buyer and the Company agree that the cash and Buyer Ordinary Share payable to the holders of Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(c) will be treated as issued in exchange for the applicable holder’s Company Shares, and agree to report such payments for income Tax purposes as consideration for such holder’s Company Shares and not as compensation for services, unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority in connection with a good faith resolution of a Tax Contest.

  (g)	Tax Contests.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the Closing Buyer shall control any Tax enquiry, investigation, audit or other Tax dispute or contest relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case after the Closing, Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receive notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments or other disputes concerning Taxes with respect to which Contributing Securityholders would incur indemnification obligations under this Agreement (an “Indemnifiable Tax Contest”), Buyer shall promptly notify in writing the Representative of such matter; provided, however, no delay or failure on the part of Buyer to comply with such notice requirements under this Section 8.22(g) shall relieve any Contributing Securityholder  from any liability or obligation under this Agreement unless (and then solely to the extent) the Contributing Securityholder is actually prejudiced thereby.  Buyer or the Company will have the sole right to lead the response and defense of any Indemnifiable Tax Contest and shall be entitled to settle any claim for Taxes without the prior consent of the Representative; provided, however, that Representative was given a reasonable period of time to review and comment on such response or defense, and any reasonable comments shall be considered in good faith by Buyer and the Company.

  8.19	104H Tax Ruling.  The Company and the Company Shareholders may prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling permitting any of the Company Shareholders (including the Specified Individuals) who elect to become a party to such a tax ruling (each, an “Electing Holder”), to defer any applicable Israeli Tax with respect to any consideration in Buyer  Ordinary Share that such Electing Holder will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the date set forth in Section 104H of the Ordinance (the “104H Tax Ruling”). Buyer shall cooperate with the Company, the Electing Holders and their Israeli counsel with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper 

   

  

   

  or advisable to obtain the 104H Tax Ruling. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties (other than the Representative) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to obtain the 104H Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the draft application for the 104H Tax Ruling and the draft 104H Tax Ruling shall be subject to the prior written approval of Buyer and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the 104H Tax Ruling is not granted by the Closing Date, the Company and the Company Shareholders shall seek to receive from the ITA prior the Closing Date an 104H Interim Ruling.

  8.20	Tax Elections.  Buyer, Company or anyone on their behalf shall not make any election for United States federal income or state income tax purposes which may affect, change or alter the tax treatment of any of the Company Securityholders without the prior written consent of the Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to Buyer’s purchase of the Company’s Shares (the “Section 338 Election”) if Buyer delivers to the Representative a written notice stating that (a) Buyer intends to make the Section 338 Election, and (b) Buyer agrees to indemnify each Company Securityholder who is a Company Shareholder on the Closing Date for any additional Taxes (including, but not limited to, full gross-up payment for any additional taxes that may apply) that such Company Securityholder actually becomes liable for solely because, or as a result, of the Section 338 Election (“Additional Taxes”).  Each Company Securityholder who is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the preceding sentence shall agree to provide to Buyer a certification from a nationally recognized accounting firm (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Big 4 firms) reasonably approved by Buyer with respect to the amount of such Additional Taxes, and Buyer shall promptly reimburse such Company Securityholder for the Additional Taxes and the reasonable cost of providing such certification.  For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Taxes shall not include any Taxes attributable to the loss of long-term capital gain treatment for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes for any Company Securityholder who does not have a twelve-month holding period on the Closing Date.

  8.21	Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.  

  (a)	Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase a fully prepaid “tail” or “run-off” insurance policy which (i) has an effective term of seven years from the Closing Date, (ii) covers the current and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the seven year period immediately following the Closing Date with respect matters occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) contains coverage terms comparable to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company (the “Tail Policy”). Buyer and the Company shall maintain such Tail Policy in full force and effect for the term of such policy.  For avoidance of doubt, the cost of such Tail Policy shall be considered a Transaction Expense.

  (b)	Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and any successor and assigns, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, to fulfill and honor in all material respects all of their obligations, if any, pursuant to indemnification, insurance, expense advancement, limitation on liability and exculpation provisions under their respective charter documents and under applicable Law as in effect as of the date hereof, to the extent relating to claims arising from or related to facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing Date including with respect to matters, acts, or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of or entering into this Agreement and the Related Agreements, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date until seven years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, its Subsidiaries and any successor and 

   

  

   

  assigns, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, to maintain the charter documents of such entities to contain provisions no less favorable to current and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to indemnification, insurance, expense advancement, exculpation and limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, insurance and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement, and all indemnification agreements Made Available between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing which provisions shall not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any current and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to exculpation and limitation of liabilities or insurance and indemnification, all of the foregoing subject to applicable Law.

  8.22	Reserved

  8.23	Termination or Waiver of Company Shareholders Rights.  Each Company Shareholder, by execution of this Agreement, waives and agrees to terminate, as of and contingent upon the Closing, any rights of first refusal, rights to any liquidation preference, redemption rights and rights of notice, including but not limited to those set forth in the Company Organizational Documents and the Investors Rights Agreement.

  8.24	Further Assurances.  Each of Buyer, the Company and the Company Shareholders, at the request of the other party or parties (as the case may be), shall execute and deliver such other certificates, instruments, agreements and other documents, and do and perform such other acts and things, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for purposes of effecting completely the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

  Article 9
PRE-CLOSING TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

  9.1	Termination.  Except as provided in Section 9.2, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

  (a)	by mutual written agreement of Buyer and the Company;

  (b)	by a written notice by Buyer or the Company, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by August 15, 2021; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Acquisition to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

  (c)	by a written notice by Buyer, if there shall have occurred a Company Material Adverse Effect;

  (d)	by a written notice by Buyer, if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, injunction, Order or other legal restraint that is in effect and, in the case of an injunction or Order, is final and non-appealabe, that has the effect of prohibiting, preventing or making the Acquisition illegal;

   

  

   

  (e)	by a written notice by Buyer, if there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or Order enacted, promulgated or issued which is or deemed applicable to the Acquisition by any Governmental Authority, which would constitute an Action of Divestiture;

  (f)	by a written notice by Buyer, if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or a Company Securityholder contained in this Agreement or any Related Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(b)(i) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within twenty calendar days after written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or

  (g)	by a written notice by the Company, if the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(c)(i) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within twenty calendar days after written notice thereof to Buyer; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured.

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, the Company, their respective officers, directors or stockholders, or any Company Shareholder; provided, however, that notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, following any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any party hereto (and only such party) shall remain liable thereafter for any of such party’s fraud or willful breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination without giving effect to any of the limitations on liability set forth in Article 10; and provided further, however, that, the provisions of Section 8.6 (Confidentiality), Section 8.7 (Public Announcement), Section 8.9 (Fees and Expenses), this Section 9.2, Section 10.6(f) (Reimbursement and Liability of Representative) and Article 11 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article 9.

  9.3	Amendment; Joinder.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer, the Company and the Representative.  For purposes of this Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any amendment of this Agreement signed by the Representative shall be binding upon and effective against the Indemnifying Parties whether or not they have signed such amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with only the written consent of Buyer for the purpose of adding any Company Shareholders to this Agreement, subject to such Company Shareholder executing and delivering a joinder to this Agreement in a form to be agreed between the Parties prior to the Closing, which shall be attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement (a “Joinder Agreement”) to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendment to Section 2.1(c) or any right or obligation related thereto shall also require the execution by the applicable Specified Individual such amendment relates to in any way.

  9.4	Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company (on behalf of itself and the Company Shareholders), on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any 

   

  

   

  agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section 9.4, following the Closing, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Representative shall be binding upon and effective against all Indemnifying Parties whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.  No delay or failure by any party to assert any of its rights or remedies shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

  Article 10
POST-CLOSING INDEMNIFICATION

  10.1	Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Closing Certificates shall survive until the date that is 15 months after the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such 15-month period, the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that, in the event of the fraudulent breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Certificates, such representation or warranty shall survive and remain in full force and effect without limitation; provided further, however, that (i) the Company IP Representations shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is [***] months after the Closing Date and (ii) the Company Fundamental Representations and the Shareholder Representations shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation period (the survival period of each such representation and warranty, as applicable, being referred to herein as the “Survival Period”), regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto. The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement, the Related Agreements or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing.  In the event that an Indemnification Claim Notice asserting a breach of a representation or warranty is delivered before the date on which such representation or warranty ceases to survive (in the case of the representations and warranties that survive until the Survival Date, which survival period is not being extended beyond the Survival Date by this parenthetical, such delivery may be made before 5:00 p.m. (California time), on the date that is three Business Days after the Survival Date), then the claims arising in connection with such Indemnification Claim Notice shall survive for the benefit of all Indemnified Parties beyond the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation or warranty until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise concluded or resolved as provided in this Article 10.  It is the express intent of the parties that, if an applicable survival period as contemplated by this Section 10.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would apply to an Action commenced by a third party that would give the Indemnified Parties a right of indemnification hereunder if the facts and allegations underlying such Action were accurate, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to the survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 10.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

  10.2	Indemnification.  

  (a)	Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, from and after the consummation of the Acquisition, each of the Contributing Securityholders (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) agrees to, severally (based on such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of each Loss covered by this Section 10.2(a)) and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer each of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), its respective Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of Buyer, or each of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company 

   

  

   

  and its Subsidiaries) and its respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all claims, actions, demands, proceedings, losses, Taxes, Liabilities, damages (other than punitive damages, unless such punitive damages are actually awarded to a third party), diminution in value, injuries, costs, interest, awards, settlements, judgments costs, interest, awards, settlements, judgments, penalties, fines, charges and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and including any such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any of the foregoing (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”), incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties or any of them (including the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing), directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or in any way related to, any of the following (the “Indemnifiable Matters”):

  (i)	any breach or inaccuracy of:  (A) a representation or warranty made by the Company or any Company Shareholder in this Agreement, (B) a representation or warranty made by the Company or any Company Shareholder in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the date of the Closing, except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates or (C) a representation, warranty or information contained in the Closing Certificates in each case without giving effect to any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date hereof (provided that in the case of such a breach or inaccuracy by a Company Securityholder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a Company Shareholder, a claim for indemnification under this Section 10.2(a)(i) may only be made solely against such Company Securityholder);

  (ii)	any failure by the Company, any Company Securityholder or, on and after the Closing Date, the Representative, to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or any other provision applicable to the Company, any Company Securityholder or, on and after the Closing Date, the Representative contained in this Agreement (provided that in case of such a failure by a Company Securityholder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a Company Shareholder, a claim for indemnification under this Section 10.2(a)(ii) may only be made solely against such Company Securityholder);

  (iii)	any inaccuracy in the Statement of Transaction Expenses or any Transaction Expenses of the Company not paid prior to or concurrently with the Closing (other than Transaction Expenses to the extent taken into account in the calculation of the Total Consideration);

  (iv)	any Indebtedness not paid prior to or concurrently with the Closing (other than Indebtedness taken into account in the calculation of the Total Consideration);

  (v)	regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information, or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet, including any amounts set forth therein that are paid to a Person in excess of the amounts that such Person is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any amounts that a Person was entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that were omitted from the Payment Spreadsheet;

  (vi)	any claims on behalf of any holder or former holder of any shares of Company Securities or rights to acquire Company Securities or other equity interests in the Company (or the economic value thereof), or in connection with the Acquisition or any of the 

   

  

   

  other transactions contemplated hereby, including (A) claims arising under Contracts to which any such holder in its capacity as such is a party or by which it is bound, (B) claims of violations of fiduciary duty or (C) any claims by any current or former Employee or Contractor;

  (vii)	any Liabilities relating to or arising out of any “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code;

  (viii)	any fraud by the Company or a Company Securityholder in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the Certificates (provided that in case that such fraud is made by a Company Securityholder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a Company Securitiyholder, a claim for indemnification under this Section 10.2(a)(viii) may only be made solely against such Company Securityholder); 

  (ix)	any Pre-Closing Taxes, except to the extent included as a Liability in the calculation of the Closing Indebtedness or the Company Net Working Capital;

  (x)	Taxes imposed on any holder of Company Options and Company Shares (including interest, fines and gross-up, if any) resulting from the failure of Company Options and Company Shares which were originally intended by the Company to be granted under Section 102(b)(2) of the Israel Tax Ordinance to be so qualified (unless such failure to qualify arises solely from: (i) breach of the holding period under Section 102(b)(2) of the Israel Tax Ordinance by the holder of Company Options and Company Shares, (ii) any Company Options granted in the ninety day period ending on the date hereof, and (iii) failure of a holder of Company Options or Company Shares to timely execute and submit his/her agreement to the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling as required under such ruling) and all Losses incident to the foregoing or incurred in connection with the enforcement of rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to the foregoing;

  (xi)	any Tax liability in connection with any payment made by the Company in connection with this Agreement, or any withholding Tax liability in connection with any payment made pursuant to this Agreement not reduced by the amount required to be withheld under applicable legal requirements, a Qualified Withholding Certificate or ruling that is not later revoked or held to be invalid by a Taxing Authority; and

  (xii)	subject to Section 10.5, any third party claims against an Indemnified Party, whether or not it is determined that there was a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or any other matter specified in any of the clauses “(i)” and “(vi)” above, inclusive, as a basis for indemnification under this Agreement, if the facts and circumstances alleged in such third party claim would give the Indemnified Party a right to indemnification under any of the clauses “(i)” and “(vi)” above assuming for this purpose that such facts and circumstances are accurate and the claims made therein are recoverable by the third party claimant(s) in accordance therewith.

  (xiii)	Any amounts not released by the Escrow Release Date from any long-term cash deposits held back by the Company’s banks to secure bank guarantees under the lease agreements, currently outstanding as of the date hereof; provided however, that the amount of Losses indemnifiable under this Section 10(a)(xiii) shall in no event exceed such amount of cash deposits reflected under the Company Net Working Capital Certificate.

  (b)	Notwithstanding Section 10.2(a) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any Person who participates in or 

   

  

   

  has actual knowledge any fraud in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby for any Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties or any of them (including the Company) as a result of such fraud; (ii) none of the Indemnified Parties’ legal claims arising out of such fraud shall be limited or waived by this Article 10 or this Agreement with respect to any Person participating in such fraud or any Person that has actual knowledge of such fraud; and (iii) none of the Indemnified Parties’ equitable claims arising out of any fraud shall be limited or waived by this Article 10 or this Agreement against any Person participating in such fraud or any Person that has actual knowledge of such fraud.

  (c)	For the purposes of this Article 10 only, solely when determining the amount of Losses suffered (but not whether a breach, inaccuracy or failure has occurred) by an Indemnified Party as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Company or any failure by the Company or any Indemnifying Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be made without such qualification or limitation.

  (d)	The Indemnifying Parties shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party.

  (e)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties after the Closing shall not be limited by (A) any investigation made, disclosure received, or knowledge obtained, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party prior to the Closing regarding any failure, breach or other event or circumstance or (B) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto and (ii) if an Indemnified Party’s claim under this Article 10 may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article 10 such that such claim may or may not be subject to different caps and other limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to characterize such indemnifiable matter in a manner that maximizes the recovery permitted in accordance with this Article 10. 

  (f)	Each Indemnified Party acknowledges that it is bound by a common law duty to mitigate any Losses for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10. 

  10.3	Maximum Payments; Remedy.  

  (a)	Except in the case of fraud (including under Section 10.2(a)(viii))) or indemnification related to breaches of or inaccuracies in the Company Fundamental Representations or the Shareholder Representations, the Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(xii)  unless and until the Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered, or sustained at least [***] in Losses in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses, including the Basket Amount, paid, incurred, or sustained by the Indemnified Parties as a group. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 10.3(a) shall not apply to indemnification claims under clauses 10.2(a)(ii) – 10.2(a)(xi) of Section 10.2(a).

  (b)	Except in the case of fraud (including under Section 10.2(a)(viii))), the maximum aggregate amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover from each Indemnifying Party for Losses in respect of the Indemnifiable Matters described in Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 

   

  

   

  10.2(a)(xii), shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and all such Losses shall be payable and recoverable solely from the Escrow Fund as the sole and exclusive remedy. 

  (c)	The maximum aggregate amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover from each Indemnifying Party for Losses in respect of the Indemnifiable Matters described in (i) Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(xii) relating to breaches of or inaccuracies in the Company Fundamental Representations or the Shareholder Representations (provided that in the case of such a breach or inaccuracy by a Company Shareholder, a claim for indemnification may only be made solely against such Company Shareholder), shall not exceed the portion of the Total Consideration paid to such Indemnifying Party hereunder (including such Indemnified Party’s portion of the Escrow Amount) (but for such claim) and (ii) Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(xii) relating to breaches of or inaccuracies in the Company IP Representations shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the [***] Indemnification Cap; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party in case of fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of (i) the Company, to the extent such Indemnifying Party committed such fraud or willful misrepresentation, or about which such Indemnifying Party had actual knowledge of, or (ii) any Company Shareholder (but solely with respect to such Company Shareholder).

  (d)	In the event of a claim under Sections 10.2(a)(ii) – 10.2(a)(xii), in no event shall the liability of any Indemnifying Party for any such claim exceed the portion of the Total Consideration paid to such Indemnifying Party hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party in case of fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of (i) the Company, to the extent such Indemnifying Party committed such fraud or willful misrepresentation, or about which such Indemnifying Party had actual knowledge of, or (ii) any Company Shareholder (but solely with respect to such Company Shareholder).

  (e)	Subject to Sections 10.3(j) and 10.3(k), Buyer’s indemnification rights pursuant to Article 10 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for all Losses that are to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Parties hereunder whether pursuant to contract, tort or other theory of law.

  (f)	Nothing in this Article 10 shall limit the liability of the Company pursuant to Section 9.2.

  (g)	If an Indemnified Party’s claim under this Article 10 may be brought under different sections of Section 10.2(a), then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring such claim under any applicable section it chooses in accordance with this Article 10.

  (h)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any Indemnified Party may bring a claim for indemnification for any Loss under this Article 10 notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance giving rise to such Loss prior to the Closing or waived any condition to the Closing related thereto.

  (i)	Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Party or Parties to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto. 

   

  

   

  (j)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of Buyer or any other Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party in connection with (i) any fraud in connection with this Agreement or the Certificates committed by such Indemnifying Party; or to which fraud such Indemnifying Party had actual knowledge; (ii) the Related Agreements executed by such Indemnifying Party; or (iii) seeking any equitable remedies against such Indemnifying Party. Subject to Section 10.2(b), no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by any other Indemnifying Party other than the Company.

  (k)	The amount of any Losses payable by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, prosecuting and collecting such amount and net of any increase to the applicable insurance premiums, deductibles, retroactive or other premium adjustments or other similar costs. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under such applicable insurance policies after the Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment in respect of such Losses, and which amounts were not previously deducted from the Losses payable by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, prosecuting and collecting such amount and net of any increase to the applicable insurance premiums.  This Section 10.1(k) shall not in any way obligate any Indemnified Party to purchase or maintain any insurance policy or to seek recovery of any insurance proceeds.

  (l)	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification under this Article 10 with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses are duplicative of Losses that have previously been recovered, even though such Losses may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement or have resulted in an adjustment to the Total Consideration.  

  (m)	The representations and warranties of the Company and the Company Shareholders contained in this Agreement and in Disclosure Schedule constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Shareholders of any kind or nature, express or implied, are specifically disclaimed by the Company and the Company Shareholders.

  10.4	Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.  

  (a)	Making a Claim for Indemnification.  An Indemnified Party may seek recovery of Losses pursuant to this Article 10 by delivering to the Representative an Indemnification Claim Notice in respect of such claim. The date of such delivery of an Indemnification Claim Notice is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Indemnification Claim Notice (and the claims for indemnification contained therein). For purposes hereof, “Indemnification Claim Notice” shall mean a written notice (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, incur or accrue Losses and (ii) specifying such Losses in reasonable detail (to the extent available), the date (if available) that each Loss was paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the Indemnifiable Matter to which such item is related; provided, however, that the Indemnification 

   

  

   

  Claim Notice (A) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such Indemnified Party as of the Claim Date, (B) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party, and (C) may be updated and amended with respect to the subject matter thereof and the Losses thereunder from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Indemnification Claim Notice to the Representative or applicable Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be (provided that such amended Indemnification Claim notice shall be subject to all limitations included in this Agreement).

  (b)	Objecting to a Claim for Indemnification.

  (i)	The Representative may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Indemnification Claim Notice (an “Objection Notice”); provided, however, that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (A) be delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the 30th day following the Claim Date of the applicable Indemnification Claim Notice (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Indemnification Claim Notice and the claims for indemnification contained therein) and (B) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made.  

  (ii)	To the extent that the Representative does not object in writing (as provided in Section 10.4(b)(i)) to the claims contained in an Indemnification Claim Notice prior to the Objection Deadline for such Indemnification Claim Notice, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Representative (or the applicable Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) with respect to the applicable parties against the applicable Indemnifying Parties (any such claim, an “Unobjected Claim”).  Within 30 days of a claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4(e).

  (c)	Resolution of Conflicts.

  (i)	In case the Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 10.4(b)(i) hereof, the Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If the Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Parties) and the Indemnified Parties reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by all applicable parties (any claims covered by such an agreement, “Settled Claims”).  Any amounts required to be paid as a result of a Settled Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Settled Claim within 30 days of the applicable claim becoming a Settled Claim, subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4(e).

  (ii)	If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation prior to 45 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45 day period Buyer or the Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may submit any such dispute for resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9.  Judgment upon any award rendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9 may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Claims determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9 are referred to herein as “Resolved Claims.” 

   

  

   

  (d)	Payable and Unresolved Claims.  A “Payable Claim” shall mean a claim for indemnification of Losses under this Article 10, to the extent that such claim has not yet been satisfied by payment or by release to the Indemnified Party of funds from the Escrow Fund, that is (i) a Resolved Claim, (ii) a Settled Claim or (iii) an Unobjected Claim. An “Unresolved Claim” shall mean any claim for indemnification of Losses under this Article 10 specified in any Indemnification Claim Notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.4(a), to the extent that such claim is not a Payable Claim and has not been satisfied by payment or release to the Indemnified Party of funds from the Escrow Fund.

  (e)	Payment of Indemnification Claims from Escrow Fund; Distribution of the Escrow Fund.

  (i)	Subject to Sections 10.4(a), (b) and (c) above, by virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the indemnity obligations provided for in Article 10, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the manner provided in this Section 10.4(e)(i), to recover the amount of any Losses with respect to which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification hereunder by the release of funds from the Escrow Fund. 

  (ii)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, Buyer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off any and all Payable Claims against the Escrow Fund without the consent of the Representative. 

  (iii)	If the amounts held in the Escrow Fund are reduced pursuant to Section 10.3, Section 10.4 or the Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to permanently retain such amounts. Except as set forth in Section 10.5(b), all claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied (A) first, from the Escrow Fund so long as the amount in the Escrow Fund is greater than zero and (B) second, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, to the extent that the recovery of such Losses is not limited to the Escrow Fund (1) with respect to each Specified Individual, (a) first from such Specified Individual’s Holdback Amount still held by the Holdback Trustee and (b) second, to the extent that such Specified Individual’s Holdback Amount still held by the Holdback Trustee is not sufficient to satisfy such Specified Individual’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses, directly, on a several and not joint basis, not exceeding, together with the Losses recovered under clause (a) above, such Specified Individual’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses and (2) against the Indemnifying Parties excluding the Specified Individuals, directly, on a several and not joint basis, not exceeding such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses; provided, however, that claims or recoveries in respect of any fraud or willful misrepresentation by an Indemnifying Party who participated in or had actual knowledge of such fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the Certificates may be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties either from such Indemnifying Party’s portion of the Escrow Fund or directly against the Indemnifying Parties rather than from the Escrow Fund; provided, further, however, to the extent an Indemnified Party recovers amounts pursuant to any fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement from the Indemnifying Party who participated in or had actual knowledge of such fraud or willful misrepresentation or the Certificates from the Escrow Fund, such recovered amounts shall not reduce the amount the Indemnified Parties may recover from such Indemnifying Party with respect to any other Indemnifiable Matters.  

   

  

   

  (iv)	Within three Business Days after the date that is 15 months after the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such 15-month period, the “Escrow Release Date”), an amount equal to (A) the amount held in the Escrow Fund as of the Escrow Release Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (B) an amount equal to the aggregate sums under all Indemnification Claim Notices that have been asserted by an Indemnified Party prior to the Escrow Release Date, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the Escrow Release Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”), shall be transferred and delivered to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to the Indemnifying Parties with each Indemnifying Party to receive its remaining Pro Rata Share of such amount to be distributed.  Following the Escrow Release Date, immediately after resolution and payment (if required to be made) of a Continuing Claim, any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund with respect to such resolved and paid Continuing Claim(s) (other than Retained Escrow Amounts underlying other Continuing Claims, which shall be retained in the Escrow Fund), shall promptly be transferred and delivered to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Parties in an amount with respect to each Indemnifying Party equal to its remaining Pro Rata Share of such amounts to be distributed.  The distributions provided in this Section 10.4(e)(iv) are subject to the terms of Section 10.6(a) and the Escrow Agreement. 

  (v)	Any amounts payable to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) shall be rounded to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a Dollar (with amounts 0.005 and above rounded up) and (B) if subject to applicable Tax withholding shall be returned to Paying Agent prior to distribution and Paying Agent will then deduct the appropriate Tax withholding amounts and distribute net funds to the applicable Indemnifying Party, in accordance with Section 2.5(d). If the sum of the final amounts payable to the Indemnifying Parties, rounded as a result of the preceding sentence, does not equal the remaining Escrow Amount, then the appropriate amount will be added or subtracted from the Indemnifying Party with the greatest Pro Rata Share, such that the sum of such final amounts does equal the remaining Escrow Amount.

  (f)	Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Indemnifying Parties, the Representative and Buyer agree to treat (and cause their affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 as adjustments to the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

  10.5	Third Party Claims.  In the event Buyer becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which Buyer reasonably believe may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative of such claim by delivering a Claim Notice; provided that failure to so notify shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Parties to seek indemnification from the Escrow Fund hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby. Parent and Buyer shall have the right in their respective sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle, adjust or compromise any such claim, and the Representative shall be entitled to participate in any negotiation of settlement, adjustment or compromise with respect to any such Third Party Claim. The Representative shall be provided with copies of all pleadings, material notices and material communications and Buyer shall notify, keep reasonably informed and provide reasonably regular updates to the Representative in respect of material developments relating to any Third Party Claim; provided that failure to do so shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Parties to seek indemnification from the Escrow Fund hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby. If Buyer conducts the defense of such Third Party Claim, each Indemnifying Party shall make available to Buyer all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Indemnifying Party’s 

   

  

   

  possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto that may be necessary to the defense of such Third Party Claim.  If Parent or Buyer settles, adjusts or compromises  settles, adjusts or compromises a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), only such settlement, adjustment or compromise costs and expenses that are reasonable in amount shall be deemed to be Losses indemnifiable under this Article 10; provided, however, that if Parent or Buyer settles, adjusts or compromises a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) and the Representative shall not have objected within 30 days after a written request for such consent by Parent or Buyer, the entire costs and expenses of the settlement shall be deemed dispositive of the validity or amount of such Loss. In the event that the Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnifying Parties or the consenting Indemnifying Parties, as applicable, shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10.5 to the existence of the Losses or the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise. 

  10.6	Representative. Each of the Indemnifying Parties hereby appoints the Representative as of Closing as his, her or its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (in accordance with the Representative engagement letter) including without limitation, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him, it or her under this Agreement.  

  (a)	Powers of the Representative.

  (i)	The Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon it pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, which shall include:

  (A)	The power to execute any agreement or instrument in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, including this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

  (B)	The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnifying Party, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which notice must be given to each Indemnifying Party individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

  (C)	The power (subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6(a)) to contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any indemnification claims or Actions for which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, authorize payment to any Indemnified Party of any of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of any indemnification claims, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such indemnification claims, resolve any indemnification claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any 

   

  

   

  Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

  (D)	The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties; 

  (E)	The power to review, negotiate and agree to and authorize any payments from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any payment obligation, in each case, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, as contemplated thereunder;

  (F)	The power to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnifying Parties (other than the payment of the Total Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein); and

  (G)	The power to take any actions contemplated hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and otherwise in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Escrow Agreement or as the Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Indemnifying Parties;

  provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Indemnifying Parties; (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Representative may appoint the Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim, and all references to the Representative in such event shall include also such Indemnifying Party or (iii) to agree to any amendment to the provisions in this Agreement limiting the powers of the Representative.  Without implying that other actions would constitute an improper discrimination, each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees that discrimination between or among Indemnifying Parties solely on the basis of the respective number of Company Securities held by each Indemnifying Party or their respective Pro Rata Shares shall not be deemed to be improper. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Representative shall not be entitled to, and shall not, including by way of amending or waiving any provision hereof, take any action on behalf of any Contributing Securityholder that would or could (A) involve any direct obligation, restriction or agreement of any Contributing Securityholder other than the payment of monetary damages, and (B) solely as between the Indemnifying Parties and the Representative, (i) result in the amounts payable hereunder to any Contributing Securityholder being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement or (ii) result in an increase of any Contributing Securityholder’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations); without (in each case) such Contributing Securityholder’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Contributing Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Paying Agent Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement.

  (b)	Representations of Representative.  The Representative hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

   

  

   

  (i)	The Representative has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

  (ii)	This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles and to the laws of agency.

  (iii)	The Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by Buyer and the Escrow Agent, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles and to the laws of agency.

  (c)	Representative Procedures Upon Receipt of Indemnification Claims.

  (i)	Upon receipt or notice of any indemnification claim, the Representative shall give prompt notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in its possession) to the Indemnifying Parties that are designated as the “Advisory Committee” established under the Representative’s engagement letter (the “Advisory Committee”) and to any specific Indemnifying Party against which such claim is made.  As soon as practicable thereafter, the Representative shall notify the Advisory Committee of the proposed action (if any) which the Representative recommends shall be taken in response to such indemnification claim.

  (ii)	The Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as he, it or she shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Indemnifying Parties, including authorizing the distribution to any Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund, subject to the limitations of Section 10.6(a).

  (d)	Notices.  Except to the extent that this Agreement requires that a notice be made to an Indemnifying Party, after the Closing, any notice given to the Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnifying Parties at the time notice is given to the Representative.  Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnifying Parties.  Except as otherwise contained herein or in the Escrow Agreement, Buyer and the Company may, and the Escrow Agent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Indemnifying Parties.

  (e)	Agreement of the Representative.  The Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as it deems to be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Representative agrees to be bound by all obligations of the Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to which it is a party and shall take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, or the Representative engagement letter (including entering into any amendment of same) for and on behalf of the Contributing Securityholders, including defending all indemnity claims pursuant to Article 10, consenting to, 

   

  

   

  compromising or settling all such indemnity claims, conducting negotiations with Buyer and its agents regarding indemnity claims, dealing with Buyer and the Company under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to all matters arising hereunder or thereunder, taking any and all other actions of the Representative specified in or contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and engaging counsel and accountants in connection with the foregoing matters.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by virtue of the approval of this Agreement and the Acquisition (and no act of such Contributing Securityholder), each Contributing Securityholder grants the Representative full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of such Contributing Securityholder and its successors. 

  (f)	Reimbursement and Liability of Representative. 

  (i)	The Representative will incur no liability to the Contributing Securityholders with respect to any action taken or suffered by the Representative in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by the Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and the Representative shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction in connection with the Representative’s services pursuant to the Representative engagement letter, this Agreement or any agreements ancillary hereto, except its own fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to the Representative.

  (ii)	The Indemnifying Parties shall severally (but not jointly), based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, indemnify and defend the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs and expenses of any experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties in connection with the Representative engagement letter, this Agreement or any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  If not paid directly to the Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (A) the funds in the Representative Expense Fund, and (B) the amounts in the Escrow Fund and any other amounts that become otherwise distributable to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the Representative Expense Fund, the Escrow Fund and any other funds that become payable to the Indemnifying Parties hereunder, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise.

   

  

   

  10.7	Reliance on Representative.  Buyer and its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of the Representative and treat such Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.4(b)) and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  None of Buyer or its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Representative for which it was authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4(b) above.  The Representative may resign at any time upon at least 20 days prior written notice to Buyer. In the event of any such resignation, the Indemnifying Securityholders shall promptly appoint a replacement and notify Buyer and the Escrow Agent thereof. Buyer and its respective affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received.  The  majority of the Contributing Securityholders (measured in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund) may remove the Representative by a written instrument delivered to the Representative, Buyer and the Company, and, in such event and also if the Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his, her or its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Contributing Securityholders (measured in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund) and delivered to Buyer and the Escrow Agent. The power of attorney and all authority conferred under this Section 10.7 and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Representative hereunder: (i) shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Contributing Securityholder, by operation of law, by such Contributing Securityholder’s death or disability or any other event and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Contributing Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative under this Section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

Subject to any limitations included in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

	Non-Standardized Defined Contribution - PPD ADOPTION AGREEMENT #001 NON-STANDARDIZED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PRE-APPROVED PLAN The undersigned Employer, by executing this Adoption Agreement, establishes a retirement plan (collectively "Plan") under the Great-West Trust Company, LLC Defined Contribution Pre-Approved Plan (basic plan document #02). The Employer, subject to the Employer's Adoption Agreement elections, adopts fully the Pre-Approved Plan provisions. This Adoption Agreement, the basic plan document and any attached Appendices or agreements permitted or referenced therein, constitute the Employer's entire plan doc ument. All "Election" references within this Adoption Agreement are Adoption Agreement Elections. All "Article" or "Section" references are basic plan document references. Numbers in parentheses which follow election numbers are basic plan document references. Where an Adoption Agreement election calls for the Employer to supply text, the Employer (without altering the content of any existing printed text) may lengthen any space or line, or create additional tiers. When Employer-supplied text uses terms substantially similar to existing printed options, all clarifications and caveats applicable to the printed options apply to the Employer-supplied text unless the context requires otherwise.

The Document Provider, on behalf of the Employer, hereby adopts this Amendment to the Employer's Plan. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment, this Amendment is effective ("the Effective Date") on the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2018, or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter, and in no event later than the Latest Effective Date. If the Plan, prior to this Amendment, does not provide for hardship distributions, then this Amendment will be void and of no effect. 1 .2 Superseding of inconsistent provisions. This Amendment supersedes the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, terms defined in the Plan will have the same meaning in this Amendment. 1 .3 Construction. Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, any "Section" reference in this Amendment refers only to this Amendment and is not a reference to the Plan.

If the Employer restates the Plan using the Document Provider's pre-approved plan based on The Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements for Pre-approved Defined Contribution Plans for 2017 (Notice 2017-37) or any earlier Cumulative List, then this Amendment shall remain in effect after such restatement unless the provisions in this Amendment are restated or otherwise become obsolete (e.g., if the Plan is restated onto a plan document which incorporates these provisions). 1 .5 Adoption by Document Provider. The Document Provider hereby adopts this Amendment on behalf of all of the Document Provider's plans adopted by its adopting employers. The adoption by the Document Provider becomes applicable with respect to an Employer's Plan on the Effective Date (or, if later, the Effective Date of the Plan), unless the Employer individually adopts this Amendment, or an alternative amendment, prior to the expiration of the remedial amendment period relating to this Amendment. ARTICLE II ELECTIONS Instructions: Complete the elections at Sections 2.1 and 2.2. Unless this Amendment is signed by the Employer, the default elections in Section 2.3 will apply.

Hardship distributions made on or after the Effective Date will not trigger a suspension of Elective Deferrals, pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

	4. The Effective Date is the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2018, or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter, and in no event later than the Latest Effective Date.

In addition, for a distribution that is made on or after the Latest Effective Date (or such earlier date as the Plan Administrator has implemented the procedure), the Participant must certify (in writing, by an electronic medium as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)-21(e)(3), or in such other form as authorized in IRS guidance) that he or she has insufficient cash or other liquid assets reasonably available to satisfy the need. b.If and only if elected in Amendment Section 2.4, before a hardship distribution may be made, a Participant must obtain all nontaxable loans (determined at the time a loan is made) available under the plan and all other plans maintained by the Employer. c. The Plan will not suspend the Participant from making Elective Deferrals on account of receipt of a hardship distribution. This provision will apply to hardship distributions made after the Effective Date. Under Amendment Section 2.1, it may also apply, as of the Effective Date, to certain suspensions of Elective Deferrals on account of receipt of a hardship distribution prior to the Effective Date. 3 .2 Modification of amounts that may be withdrawn on account of a hardship. Except as otherwise elected in Amendment Sections 2.2 and 2.5, earnings on Elective Deferrals, QNECs, and QMACs (and the earnings thereon) may be withdrawn on account of a hardship.
