(i)As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 90 calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles, and delivered to the Equityholder Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Buyer Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of each of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Working Capital, (iv) Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and (v) the Total Consideration Value and attaching all relevant backup materials and schedules.
(ii)From and after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Buyer Closing Statement, Buyer shall provide the Equityholder Representative and any accountants or advisors retained by the Equityholder Representative with reasonable access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies and cause appropriate representatives of Buyer and the Acquired Companies to be reasonably available to discuss the Closing Balance Sheet and the Buyer Closing Statement and respond to reasonable questions of the Equityholder Representative and its accountant with regard thereto, solely for the purposes of: (A) enabling the Equityholder Representative and its accountants and advisors to calculate and to review Buyer’s calculations as reflected Buyer Closing Statement and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculations set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement.
(iii)If the Equityholder Representative disputes the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or the Total Consideration Value set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, then the Equityholder Representative shall deliver a written notice (an “Adjustment Dispute Notice”) to Buyer during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Equityholder Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Buyer Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Adjustment Dispute Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute of such calculation.
(iv)If the Equityholder Representative does not deliver an Adjustment Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer’s calculations of each of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Total Consideration Value shall be deemed final and binding on Buyer, the Equityholder Representative and the Equityholders for all purposes of this Agreement.





(v)If the Equityholder Representative delivers an Adjustment Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period with respect to Buyer’s calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or the Total Consideration Value, then the Equityholder Representative and Buyer shall meet, confer and exchange any additional relevant information reasonably requested by the other party regarding the computation of such disputed items for a period of 30 calendar days after the end of the Review Period, and use reasonable efforts to resolve by written agreement (the “Agreed Adjustments”) any differences as to such disputed items. In the event Buyer and the Equityholder Representative so resolve any such differences, Buyer’s calculations set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, as adjusted by the Agreed Adjustments, shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement. If the Equityholder Representative and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on any disputed item within the 30 calendar day period, then either the Equityholder Representative or Buyer may submit the objections to the objections to the New York office of an internationally recognized independent accounting firm (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”) after such 30th day. The Designated Accounting Firm shall be directed by Buyer and the Equityholder Representative to resolve the unresolved objections as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles, and, in any event, within 45 calendar days of such referral, and, upon reaching such determination, to deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Equityholder Representative and Buyer. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm, each of Buyer, the Equityholder Representative and their respective advisors and accountants shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide their respective views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or the Total Consideration Value. The determination of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or the Total Consideration Value (as applicable) made by the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Buyer, the Equityholder Representative and the Equityholders for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. In calculating Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Total Consideration Value (as applicable), the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only the particular disputes referred to in the Adjustment Dispute Notice. The Expert Calculations (A) shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the disputed items reflected therein and the disputed items set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, and (B) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, shall be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Buyer or the Equityholder Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Buyer or the Equityholder Representative, as the case may be. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be paid by Buyer and the Equityholder Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders) in inverse proportion as they may prevail (based on the disputed items as resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm as compared to the disputed items proposed by Buyer and the Equityholder Representative, respectively), as determined by the Designated Accounting Firm. For example, if Equityholder Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Designated Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Equityholder Representative $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be allocated thirty percent (30%) (i.e., 300 divided by 1,000) to Buyer and seventy percent (70%) (i.e., 700 divided by 1,000) to the Equityholder Representative.
(vi)If the Total Consideration Value, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.02, is less than the Estimated Total Consideration Value (such amount, “Excess Consideration”), then such Excess Consideration shall be satisfied by forfeiture by the Equityholders of Holdback Funds in an amount equal to the Excess Consideration (with each Equityholder forfeiting cash and Buyer Shares (x) in an amount equal to such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share of such Excess Consideration, (y) in the same ratio of cash to Buyer Shares as such Equityholder received as part of such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Estimated Total Consideration Value and (z) with Buyer Shares being valued at the Buyer Stock Price); provided, however, in the event that the Holdback Funds are





insufficient to satisfy the Excess Consideration, each Equityholder shall pay to Buyer in cash such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the excess of such Excess Consideration over the value of the Holdback Funds. If the Total Consideration Value, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.02, is greater than the Estimated Total Consideration Value (such amount, “Shortfall Consideration”), then Buyer shall cause such Shortfall Consideration to be paid promptly to the Equityholders in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share of such Shortfall Consideration as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet.
Section 2.03
 
Treatment of Company Options.
(a)At the Closing, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall vest in full (to the extent then-unvested), and shall automatically be canceled and converted solely into the right to receive, subject to and conditioned upon the holder’s timely execution and delivery to the Company of an Option Acknowledgement and further subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including with respect to deductions and withholding and to Section 2.04(a), Section 2.06 and Article 11), (i) an amount in cash (the “Closing Option Consideration”) equal to (A) the excess of the Per Share Consideration Value over the per-share exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of Company Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Closing, less (C) such Award Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Funds Value and the Equityholder Representative Expense Amount, and (ii) such Award Holder’s Pro Rata Share, to be paid in cash, of (A) the Holdback Funds Value and Equityholder Representative Expense Amount, if any, to be released pursuant to this Agreement and (B) the Shortfall Consideration, if any, pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(vi) (collectively, the amounts in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Option Consideration”).

(b)From and after the Closing, the holders of Company Options shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive the Option Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03(a) (if applicable). The Option Consideration shall constitute the sole consideration payable in respect of all canceled Company Options.
(c)Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall notify, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (“Option Acknowledgement”), each Award Holder of the treatment as provided in Section 2.03(a) of all Company Options held by such Award Holder and request that each such Award Holder holding Company Options execute and return such Option Acknowledgement to the Company no later than the Closing Date. No later than immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate the Company ESOP. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions (including providing all notices, adopting all resolutions and obtaining all consents and making any amendments) that may be necessary (under the Company ESOP and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.03(a) and to ensure that, from and after the Closing, Award Holders have no rights with respect to the Company ESOP or Company Options other than those specifically provided in this Section 2.03. Buyer shall be entitled to reasonable advance review and approval of the Option Acknowledgement and any other documentation contemplated by this Section 2.03(c) or as may otherwise be required under each Company ESOP to give effect to this Section 2.03(c).

(c)The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of each party to this Agreement, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives.
(d)The parties acknowledge and agree that if any of the Acquired Companies suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages arising from or as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation set forth herein, then (without limiting any of the rights of Buyer as an Indemnitee) Buyer shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Acquired Companies, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
(e)All covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing and will continue in accordance with their terms until such covenants and agreements are fully performed and satisfied.

Section 11.02
 
Indemnification
(a)From and after the Closing, the Equityholder Indemnitors, severally and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share, shall hold harmless and indemnify the Buyer from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Buyer for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnitees or to which any of the Buyer Indemnitees may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third Party Claim) and which arise from or as a result of:
(i)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company under this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement;





(ii)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with the Closing as if such representation and warranty had been made on and as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular time, which need only be accurate as of such time);

(iv)any Closing Indebtedness or Company Transaction Expenses, to the extent not accounted for in the determination of the Total Consideration Value;

(i)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller (but not those made by any other Seller) under this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement;
(ii)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller under this Agreement as of the Closing Date as if such representation or warranty had been made as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular time, which need only be accurate as of such time); and

(i)any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Buyer Representations made by the Buyer under this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement;
(ii)any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Buyer Representations made by the Buyer under this Agreement as of the Closing Date as if such representation or warranty had been made as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular time, which need only be accurate as of such time); and





(iii)any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.
Section 11.03
 
Limitations
(a)The Equityholder Indemnitors shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 11.02(a)(i) and Section 11.02(a)(ii) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Buyer Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Buyer Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds an amount equal to US$1,000,000 (the “Basket”) in the aggregate (it being understood that if the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Basket, then the Buyer shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for all such Damages, including the amount of the Basket); provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to any Damages related to inaccuracies or breaches of Fundamental Company Representations or any Damages arising out of Fraud or Willful Breach.
(b)The maximum liability of the Equityholder Indemnitors, taken as a whole, under Section 11.02(a)(i), Section 11.02(a)(ii) and clauses (iv) and (viii) of Section 11.02(a) shall be equal to the Holdback Funds; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation does not apply to any Damages (i) related to inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Company Representations (which shall be capped at the Total Consideration Value) or (ii) with respect to claims of, or arising out of Fraud or Willful Breach; provided, further, that the Buyer shall recover all Damages subject to indemnification under Section 11.02 first from the Holdback Funds before the Buyer shall be entitled to recover any Damages directly from any Equityholder Indemnitor. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, to the extent any amounts are released from the Holdback Funds to the Buyer with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement for which the maximum liability of the Equityholder Indemnitors is not equal to the Holdback Funds, such released amounts shall not reduce the amount that the Buyer may recover with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that are subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 11.03(b). The maximum liability of the Buyer Indemnitors for Damages under Section 11.02(c) shall be equal to the Total Consideration Value, to the extent not paid in the form of cash or validly issued shares of Buyer Common Stock (valued based on the Buyer Stock Price) in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions in, this Agreement; provided, that payment of any amounts in the form of cash or validly issued shares of Buyer Common Stock shall not reduce the amount any Equityholder can recover for any breach or inaccuracy of any Buyer Fundamental Representations.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligations of any Equityholder Indemnitor under Section 11.02 exceed the portion of the Total Consideration Value actually received by such Indemnitor, other than with respect to claims of, or arising out of, Fraud or Willful Breach of such Equityholder Indemnitor.
(d)Absent Fraud or Willful Breach, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 11 provide the sole and exclusive monetary remedy following the Closing as to all Damages any Indemnitee may incur in connection with this Agreement (without limiting the procedures contemplated by Section 2.02 and it being understood that nothing in this Section 11.03(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights to specific performance or other non-monetary equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer may recover from the Holdback Funds any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third Party Claim) and which arise from or as a result of any Fraud or Willful Breach.
(e)The amount of Damages recoverable by any Indemnitee under this Article 11 and Section 8.06 with respect to any claim shall be (i) reduced by the amount of any payment actually received by such Indemnitee from an insurance carrier with respect to the Damages to which such claim relates (net of any deductible or retention amount or any other third-party costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in obtaining such recovery, including any increased insurance premiums); and (ii) reduced by the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the applicable Indemnitee attributable to such Damages, but only to the extent such net Tax benefit is actually realized by the Indemnitee





in the taxable year in which such Damages were incurred or the immediately succeeding taxable year, in each case determined on a “with and without” basis (i.e., calculating the applicable Indemnitee’s actual Tax liability as compared to the applicable Indemnitee’s hypothetical Tax liability as if the Damages had not been incurred). Solely for the purposes of calculating the amount of Damages recoverable by any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 11 (and not for determining the existence of a breach of any representation or warranty), the representations and warranties in this Agreement that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to be made without such materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to the term “Material Contract” or Section 3.05(a) or Section 3.06(a).
(f)Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve or abrogate any Indemnitee of its duty to mitigate its Damages under common law, pursuant to the laws of the state of New York.
Section 11.04
 
Claims and Procedures; Holdbacks and Escrow
(a)If (x) an Equityholder determines in good faith that the Equityholder has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 11, such Equityholder may deliver to the Buyer Indemnitor or (y) the Buyer determines in good faith that the Buyer has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 11, the Buyer may deliver to the Equityholder Representative, in the case of each of clause (x) or (y), a certificate signed by the Equityholder Representative or an authorized officer of the Buyer, respectively (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.04(a) an “Claim Certificate”):
(i)stating that such Indemnitee has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 11;
(ii)to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Damages such Indemnitee claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and
(iii)specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed) the material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such claim.
No delay in providing such Claim Certificate shall affect an Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitors are prejudiced thereby.
(b)At any time of delivery of any Claim Certificate by the Buyer to the Equityholder Representative, a duplicate copy of such Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Buyer.
(c)If the Buyer Indemnitor or Equityholder Representative, as applicable, in good faith objects to any claim made by the applicable Indemnitee in any Claim Certificate, then the Buyer Indemnitor or Equityholder Representative, respectively, shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Equityholder Representative or Buyer Indemnitor, respectively, during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Buyer Indemnitor or Equityholder Representative, respectively, of the Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the applicable Indemnitee in the Claim Certificate. If the Equityholder Representative or Buyer Indemnitor, as applicable, does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Buyer Indemnitor or Equityholder Representative, respectively, prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then each claim or indemnification set forth in such Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the applicable Indemnitee’s favor for purposes of this Article 11 on the terms set forth in the Claim Certificate.
(d)In the event a party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the applicable Indemnitor in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the parties agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the parties shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and the parties shall promptly act in accordance with such memorandum.
(e)If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either party may bring a suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 12.08, 12.09 and 12.10. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon each applicable Indemnitee,





each applicable Indemnitor and the Equityholder Representative, and the parties shall promptly act in accordance with such decision. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(f)The Holdback Shares and Escrow Cash shall be held by Buyer and the Escrow Agent, respectively, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and be available to compensate the Buyer for any claims by such parties for any Damages suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article 11. Each claim for Damages pursuant to this Article 11 that is to be satisfied from (i) the Holdback Shares shall be satisfied by forfeiture by the Indemnitors of the Holdback Shares and (ii) the Escrow Cash shall be satisfied by release of such Escrow Cash by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in each case, in an amount as determined pursuant to Section 11.04(h) below. For purposes of this Article 11, Buyer Shares held as Holdback Shares or received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be valued at the Buyer Stock Price per Holdback Share.
(g)Except as set forth below, the period during which claims for Damages to be recovered from the Holdback Funds may be made under this Agreement shall commence at the Closing and terminate 15 days after the General Expiration Date (the “Holdback Period”). Promptly, and in any event within 20 Business Days, following (i) the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Initial Holdback Release Date”), the Holdback Initial Release Funds less (x) the aggregate of all Due Amounts as of the Initial Holdback Release Date and (y) without duplication of subclause (x), any amount of actual or good faith estimated Damages in respect of any resolved claims that have yet to be satisfied or any unresolved and pending claims specified in any Claim Certificate (“Unresolved Claims”) delivered to the Equityholder Representative in accordance with Section 11.04(a) on or prior to the end of the Holdback Period, shall be distributed to the Equityholders (through the Buyer, an Acquired Company or a paying agent designated by the Buyer) in accordance with Section 11.04(h) and (ii) the end of the Holdback Period, the undistributed Holdback Funds, less the amount of actual or good faith estimated Damages in respect of any Unresolved Claims delivered to the Equityholder Representative in accordance with Section 11.04(a) on or prior to the end of the Holdback Period, shall be distributed to the Equityholders (through the Buyer, an Acquired Company or a paying agent designated by the Buyer) in accordance with Section 11.04(h). In the event that there exist Unresolved Claims as of the expiration of the Holdback Period, as soon as any such Unresolved Claim has been resolved, Buyer shall promptly, and in any event within 20 Business Days following the resolution or satisfaction of such Unresolved Claim, deliver (or cause to be delivered) in accordance with Section 11.04(h), the portion of the Holdback Funds, if any, that was retained for purposes of satisfying such claim that was not needed to satisfy such claim or other Unresolved Claims.
(h) To the extent the Holdback Funds or any portion thereof are released to the Equityholders pursuant to this Section 11.04, such funds shall be released (i) in amounts equal to each such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share of such released amounts and (ii) in the same ratio of cash to Buyer Shares as such Equityholder received as part of such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Estimated Total Consideration Value (i.e., if such Equityholder received 55% of its Pro Rata Share of the Estimated Total Consideration Value in cash and 45% in Buyer Shares, then such Equityholder would receive 55% of its Pro Rata Share of the released Holdback Funds in cash, and 45% of its Pro Rata Share of the released Holdback Funds in Buyer Shares). The amount of any Buyer Shares so delivered to any Equityholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Buyer Shares.
(i)The release of the Holdback Funds or any portion thereof to the Equityholders pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall be made by (i) the Buyer with respect to the Holdback Shares, in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Cash, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 11.06
 
Defense of Third-Party Claims





Except as otherwise provided in Article 8, in the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding against (i) an Indemnitee with respect to which any of the Equityholder Indemnitors may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse the Buyer pursuant to this Article 11 (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own; provided, however, that the Equityholder Representative and its counsel (at the Indemnitors’ sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Third Party Claim. If Buyer so proceeds with the defense of any such Third Party Claim:
(a)the Equityholder Representative shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Indemnitor to, make available to Buyer any documents and materials in his possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Third Party Claim;
(b)the Buyer shall keep the Equityholder Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of such Third Party Claim; and
(c)the Buyer shall have the right to control, settle, adjust or compromise such Proceeding without the consent of the Equityholder Representative; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Equityholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no settlement of any such Proceeding shall be determinative of either the fact that liability may be recovered by the Buyer in respect of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 11 or the amount of such liability that may be recovered by the Buyer in respect of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 11. If the Equityholder Representative consents to such settlement, neither the Equityholder Representative nor any Equityholder Indemnitor will have any power or authority to object to the amount or validity of any claim by or on behalf of the Buyer for indemnity with respect such settlement.
Buyer shall give the Equityholder Representative prompt notice of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim against Buyer; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Buyer to so notify the Equityholder Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under this Article 11 (except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such Proceeding).
