Section 1.4    Post-Closing Adjustment to Cash Purchase Price.

(a)    Following the Closing, the Cash Purchase Price will be finally determined (the “Final Cash Purchase Price”) in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Section 1.4. On or before the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Representative a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”), setting forth: Buyer’s calculation of the Final Cash Purchase Price, including (A) the amount as of the Measurement Time of Cash of the Acquired Companies, (B) the amount as of the Measurement Time of Net Working Capital, (C) the Seller Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing, (D) Change of Control Expenses, (E) Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing, (F) and the Seller Stamp Duty (including reasonable detail regarding the calculation thereof). The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. If the amount of the Seller Final Closing Payment set forth in the Final Closing Statement delivered by Buyer would give rise to an obligation of the Buyer to make payment to Sellers pursuant to Section 1.4(g)(i), or of Sellers to make payment to the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4(g)(ii) of an amount less than the Adjustment Holdback Amount (if finally determined in accordance with Section 1.4(c) and (e) to be correct), then, promptly after

Buyer delivers the Final Closing Statement to Representative in accordance with this Section 1.4(a), the Buyer shall also pay to each Seller, in the case of Section 1.4(g)(i), such Seller’s Cash Purchase Price Relevant Percentage of the entire Adjustment Holdback Amount or, in the case of Section 1.4(g)(ii), such Seller’s Cash Purchase Price Relevant Percentage of such portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount equal to the Adjustment Holdback Amount less the amount by which the Seller Final Closing Payment exceeds the Seller Closing Payment.

(b)    Representative will be entitled to review the Final Closing Statement, together with supporting books and records of the Acquired Companies, to be provided upon Representative’s reasonable request; provided that (i) such review must be conducted at reasonable times during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Acquired Companies, (ii) Representative will treat all such information as confidential and hereby waives any right to use such information for any purpose other than in connection with the determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price, and hereby agrees to execute and deliver such customary waivers, limitations of liability and indemnification agreements as are reasonably requested by Buyer or any Acquired Company to provide access to such books and records, and (iii) the costs and expenses incurred by Sellers for such review, including the fees of any third-party advisors of Sellers, will be borne by Sellers. If Representative disagrees with the Final Closing Statement, then Representative will give written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer within 60 days after the date Representative receives the Final Closing Statement (such period, the “Objection Period”) specifying in reasonable detail Representative’s disagreement with Buyer’s determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement. The Objection Notice, if any, must specify separately each of those items or amounts as to which Representative disagrees, and Representative will be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Final Closing Statement. If Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then each Seller will be deemed to have agreed entirely with the determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price as set forth in the Final Closing Statement.

(c)    If the Objection Notice is timely delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 1.4(b), Buyer and Representative will, during the 30 days following delivery of the Objection Notice, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Disputed Components”) in order to determine the Final Cash Purchase Price, which amounts must be within the range of the amount thereof shown in the Final Closing Statement and the amount thereof shown in the Objection Notice. If during such 30-day period, Buyer and Representative are unable to reach agreement on the Disputed Components, then they will promptly thereafter jointly engage one or more members having no conflict of interest of the dispute resolution group of an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Representative acting reasonably and in good faith (the “Accounting Expert”) to review this Agreement and the Disputed Components for the purpose of calculating the Final Cash Purchase Price. If Buyer and Representative are unable to agree on and engage the Accounting Expert within 15 days after the conclusion of such 30-day period, or if at any time the Accounting Expert jointly engaged by Buyer and Representative is unable to continue or has withdrawn from the engagement, either Buyer or Representative may request that the International Centre for Dispute Resolution appoint a certified public accountant who at the time is, or for at least five years formerly was, a partner (or in a position of equivalent stature) in an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing, to serve as the Accounting Expert. Buyer and Representative will jointly instruct the Accounting Expert to (i) review the Final Closing Statement and the Objection Notice to resolve each Disputed Component, including, as applicable, determining each disputed item or amount to be included in calculating the Final Cash Purchase Price; and (ii) calculate the amounts of the Final Cash Purchase Price to reflect such resolution. In making its calculation of the Final Cash Purchase Price, the Accounting Expert may consider only the Disputed Components. The Accounting Expert’s determination of any disputed items or amounts and its calculation of the Final Cash Purchase Price must be within the range of the amounts thereof shown in Final Closing Statement and the amounts thereof shown in the Objection Notice.

(d)    In connection with the resolution of the Disputed Components, the Accounting Expert will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will limit its review to the positions of the parties set out in the Final Closing Statement and the Objection Notice. The Accounting Expert may, at its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the Disputed Components, at which conference Buyer and Representative will have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants; provided, that Buyer and Representative will not take a position inconsistent with their respective positions in the Final Closing Statement and the Objection Notice. Any such conference may be held, in the discretion of the Accounting Expert, by telephone conference, videoconference or (if permitted under and consistent with then-extant and applicable COVID-19 Measures) in person. In connection with the resolution of the Disputed Components, there will be no other hearings or oral examinations, testimony,

depositions, discovery or other similar Legal Proceedings. Each of the Parties will make available to the other Parties and the Accounting Expert, as the case may be, such documents, books, records, work papers, facilities, personnel and other information as such party or the Accounting Expert may reasonably request to review the Final Closing Statement and Objection Notice, and to resolve the Disputed Components.

(e)    The Accounting Expert will deliver to Buyer and Representative, as promptly as practicable and in all events within 45 days after the date of its engagement, a report setting forth, in reasonable detail, its determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price. Such report will be final and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The cost of the Accounting Expert’s review and report will be borne by Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the dollar amount of the disputed items or amounts that are not resolved in favor of Buyer or Seller, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of items or amounts in dispute resolved by the Accounting Expert. Each of Buyer, the Acquired Companies and Seller will bear all of its other expenses incurred in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 1.4.

(f)    The process set forth in this Section 1.4 will be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any dispute over the Disputed Components. The Accounting Expert may not and will not have authority or jurisdiction to resolve or decide any matter or dispute other than, as provided in and in accordance with this Section 1.4 resolving the Disputed Components and calculating the amounts of the Final Cash Purchase Price. Any other dispute or matter arising under or with respect to this Agreement (including any dispute over whether any claim, issue, element or amount is within the authority of the Accounting Expert to determine) will be reserved for and determined in accordance with Sections 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10.

(g)    As soon as reasonably practicable, but not more than ten Business Days, following the final determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4:

(i)    in the event that the amount of the Seller Final Closing Payment is greater than the amount of the Seller Closing Payment, Buyer will pay to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of such Seller designated by Seller in the Pre-Closing Statement (unless such Seller designates a different account of such Seller in writing within five Business Days following the final determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price under this Section 1.4), an amount equal to such Seller’s Cash Purchase Price Relevant Percentage of the amount by which the Seller Final Closing Payment exceeds the Seller Closing Payment plus the Adjustment Holdback Amount less any amount that has already been disbursed to such Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.4(a);

(ii)    in the event that the amount of the Seller Final Closing Payment is less than the amount of the Seller Closing Payment by an amount less than or equal to the Adjustment Holdback Amount, Buyer will retain from the Adjustment Holdback Amount an amount equal to the amount by which the Seller Closing Payment exceeds the Seller Final Closing Payment and pay to each Seller an amount equal to such Seller’s Cash Purchase Price Relevant Percentage of the balance of the Adjustment Holdback Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of such Seller designated by such Seller in the Pre-Closing Statement (unless such Seller designates a different account of such Seller in writing within five Business Days following the final determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price under this Section 1.4) less any amount that has already been disbursed to such Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.4(a); and

(iii)    in the event that the amount of the Seller Final Closing Payment is less than the amount of the Seller Closing Payment by an amount greater than the Adjustment Holdback Amount, Buyer will retain the Adjustment Holdback Amount and, at Buyer’s option, (A) Sellers will pay to Buyer the amount by which the difference between the Seller Final Closing Payment and the Seller Closing Payment exceeds the Adjustment Holdback Amount (the “Shortfall Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (and such payment obligation of the Sellers will be joint and several) or (B) Representative and Buyer will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Escrow Account to Buyer an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount.

Section 1.5    Tax Withholding. Buyer, Sellers and the Acquired Companies will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any other Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. Prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the applicable payor shall provide the Person on behalf of whom such deduction or withholding is made with reasonable advance written notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Person to mitigate or reduce any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted,

such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and Related Agreements as having been paid to such Person(s) in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate to collect (and to provide to the requesting Party) any applicable Tax certificates (including IRS Forms W-9 or W-8) from any payee receiving any payment hereunder, including any payees of Payoff Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses and (ii) provide any information reasonably necessary to determine the withholding obligations of any Person with respect to such payments.

The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing and the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII.

Section 4.1    Efforts to Consummate; Filings and Consents.

(a)    General Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable (subject to any Laws) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Related Agreement (including satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE II).

(b)    HSR. Each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to): (i) promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days after the date of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer and Sellers or Representative, make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement and (ii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filings or notifications or other consents required under Antitrust Laws to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement. Each Party will promptly notify the other Parties of any substantive written communication made to or received by such Party, as the case may be, from any Governmental Authority under Antitrust Laws regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and, subject to applicable Law, if practicable, permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such Governmental Authority and consider the other Parties’ reasonable comments in good faith, not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry under Antitrust Laws concerning this Agreement or any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend, and furnish the other Parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on one hand and any such Governmental Authority or its respective staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or any Related Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Any such provision of information, rights to participate, or consultations between the Parties pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) may be made on an outside antitrust counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or as appropriate to protect sensitive business information or maintain attorney-client or other privilege; provided, that Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, may redact materials to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns and to remove references concerning the valuation of Acquired Companies. Buyer shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any filings, notifications, consents or approvals under any Antitrust Laws, and in the event that the Parties do not agree with respect to any matter in connection with the required consents and approvals under any Antitrust Laws, Buyer, after considering in good faith the views of Representative, shall have ultimate authority to decide such matters.

(c)    Notices and Consents. Each Seller and each Acquired Company will give all notices, and each Seller, each Acquired Company and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals, waivers, authorizations, or novations, as the case may be, necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement as expeditiously as possible. Any instrument evidencing any such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice or novation to be obtained prior to the Closing will be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. Seller will provide Buyer true, complete and correct copies of all letters, applications or other documents prior to their submission to, or promptly after receipt from, any Person with respect to each such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice or novation. Each of the Parties will promptly and regularly advise the other Party concerning the status of each such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice and novation, including any difficulties or delays such Party has experienced in obtaining and any conditions required for any such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice or novation (including receipt of any oral communication from a Governmental Authority). No Party shall and each shall cause its Affiliates and each of their respective officers or any other representatives or agents not to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority with respect to any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to the transactions contemplated hereby unless, in the case of either Seller or the Acquired Companies, Representative consults with Buyer, or in the case of Buyer, Buyer consults with Representative in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives such Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. No Party shall and Sellers shall not permit any other Acquired Company to: (i) enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement; or (ii) take any other action that would be

reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the receipt of any such consent, approval, waiver, authorization, notice or novation, in each case, without the prior written consent of Buyer, in the case of any such action by HK Seller, US Seller, or any Acquired Company, or Representative, in the case of Buyer. In the event any Order is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or other legal or regulatory restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Related Agreement, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to have such Order lifted. The Parties agree that Section 4.1(b) shall govern the Parties respective obligations and rights with respect to the HSR Act and any other requirements under any other Antitrust Laws, and in the event of any conflict between this Section 4.1(c) and Section 4.1(b), Section 4.1(b) shall control.

(d)    Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4.1(a), (b) and (c) and Section 5.1, nothing in this Agreement requires, or will be construed to require, Buyer to do or agree to do any of the following, whether prior to or following the Closing: (i) offering, negotiating, committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any material capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company); (ii) agreeing to any material restrictions on the activities of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) or any of their respective businesses; (iii) waiving any material rights to which it is entitled; (iv) defending, commencing or prosecuting any Legal Proceeding; (v) taking any other action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any Order in any Legal Proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Related Agreement; or (vi) waiving any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE II.

Section 4.2    Operation of the Business.

(a)    Without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if Buyer does not deliver to Representative a response to any written request for consent delivered in accordance with Section 8.2 within ten Business Days, such action shall be deemed consented to)), none of the HK Acquired Companies and the US Acquired Companies will, and HK Seller will cause the HK Acquired Companies and Hey Dude B.V. not to, and US Seller will cause the US Acquired Companies not to, (i) engage in any practice, take any action or enter into any Contract or transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business, except for any action expressly contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) otherwise intentionally engage in any practice, take or fail to take any action or enter into any Contract or transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business that would cause the representations and warranties regarding the Acquired Companies contained herein to be untrue at any time between the date hereof and the Closing, except where such practice, action or Contract (or failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or enter into the same) would not have a Material Adverse Effect. HK Seller and each HK Acquired Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the business and assets of each HK Acquired Company and Hey Dude B.V. (including the Business) substantially intact and US Seller and each US Acquired Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the business and assets of each US Acquired Company (including the Business) substantially intact, including, in each case, the present operations, physical facilities, working conditions and business relationships of such Acquired Company, including with licensors, suppliers, distributors, employees and independent contractors and consultants of such Acquired Company, and operate the business of such Acquired Company in a manner consistent with past practices, including all accounting policies and capital expenditures, in each case, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 4.2(a), without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (and if Buyer does not deliver to Representative a response to any written request for consent delivered in accordance with Section 8.2 within ten Business Days, such action shall be deemed consented to)) or unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Acquired Companies will, HK Seller will cause the HK Acquired Companies and Hey Dude B.V. not to, and US Seller will cause the US Acquired Companies not to:

(ii)    hire, retain, engage or terminate any employee or individual independent contractor or consultant, in each case, that received (or would receive if hired, retained or engaged) compensation in excess of $200,000 per year; or

(iii)    establish, adopt, terminate or amend any material Benefit Plan (or any compensation or benefit plan, scheme, fund, policy, practice, program, Contract, agreement or arrangement that would be a Benefit Plan if it were in existence as of the date hereof), or amend or waive any of its rights under, or accelerate the vesting under, any provision of any Benefit Plan (or any compensation or benefit plan, scheme, fund, policy, practice, program, Contract, agreement or arrangement that would be a Benefit Plan if it were in existence as of the date hereof), or grant any employee, individual independent contractor, officer, director or other service provider any increase in compensation, bonuses or other benefits other than (A) any reasonable merit-based increases in salary and wages to employees in the Ordinary Course of Business and (B) any amendment to any Benefit Plans to the extent required by applicable Laws.

Section 4.3    Access; Audit Cooperation.

(a)    Each Seller, each HK Acquired Company and each US Acquired Company will, and HK Seller will cause Hey Dude B.V. to, permit Buyer and its representatives to upon reasonable prior written notice, provide reasonable access at all reasonable times during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Acquired Companies, subject to compliance with applicable Law, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including Tax records and accounting records), Contracts, instruments and documents of or pertaining to any Acquired Company and permit Buyer and its representatives to make such copies and inspections thereof as may reasonably be requested.

(b)    Without limiting Section 4.3(a), Sellers and each Acquired Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to, at Buyer’s request and at its cost and expense (i) engage an independent accounting firm (with such firm to be selected by Buyer in its sole discretion) to perform any audit of any of the Acquired Companies requested by Buyer (the “Audit”) and (ii) cooperate with Buyer, such accounting firm and Buyer’s other representatives in connection with any such Audit, including by using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the completion of such Audit by any date reasonably requested by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the completion of the Audit shall not in any way be a condition to the Closing under this Agreement nor shall the results of any such Audit constitute (or be deemed to constitute) a Material Adverse Effect provided that the underlying facts with respect to the results of such Audit may be considered in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Section 4.4    Notice of Developments.

(a)    Representative will give prompt written notice to Buyer of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty regarding the Acquired Companies or Sellers (including those in ARTICLE III) or any breach or nonperformance of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by either Seller or any Acquired Company (including those in this ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V or those contained in any other Related Agreement), (ii) the occurrence of any material damage to or loss or destruction of any assets owned or leased by any Acquired Company (whether or not insured) or (iii) the occurrence of any event or condition which resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The failure of Representative to provide notice as required by this Section 4.4(a) will not, itself, result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 2.2(b) unless the matter for which Representative failed to provide such notice would otherwise result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 2.2(a), (b), (c) or (d).

(b)    Following notice by Representative under Section 4.4(a) with respect to a breach of representation or warranty, Sellers may deliver to Buyer a proposed amendment to the Disclosure Schedule

addressing the matter or event that was the subject of such notice under Section 4.4(a) to qualify the applicable representations and warranties made by either Seller or any Acquired Company, but only to the extent such matter or event first occurred following the date hereof. If the condition set forth in Section 2.2(a) would not have been satisfied but for such proposed amendment, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Representative within five Business Days of receiving notice under Section 4.4(a). If Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) and does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 4.4(b), Buyer is deemed to have waived any such breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties specifically addressed by such proposed amendment, and such proposed amendment shall be deemed accepted by Buyer and shall amend and supplement the Disclosure Schedule effective as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.5    Exclusivity. None of HK Seller, US Seller, any HK Acquired Company, or US Acquired Company will, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, securityholders, advisors, representatives or agents to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition or purchase of a substantial amount of the assets, equity interests or other securities of any Acquired Company, or any tender offer or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, re-capitalization, spin-off, liquidation, dissolution, equity or debt financing or similar transaction involving any Acquired Company, or any other transaction, the consummation of which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction Proposal”) or agree to or endorse any Transaction Proposal or (b) propose, enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Transaction Proposal, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to the business or assets of any Acquired Company in connection with a Transaction Proposal, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing in connection with a Transaction Proposal. Representative will promptly notify Buyer in the event that HK Seller, US Seller, any Acquired Company or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, securityholders, advisors, representatives and agents receives any unsolicited indication of interest or proposal regarding a Transaction Proposal, including the identity of the Person indicating such interest or making such Transaction Proposal and a copy thereof.

Section 4.6    Financing Cooperation.

The foregoing cooperation by each Seller and the Acquired Companies shall include, at the reasonable request of Buyer, using commercially reasonable and customarily required efforts in respect of (i) assisting Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of any prospectus, offering memorandum, ratings agency presentation or marketing material and similar reasonably and customarily required documents in connection with debt financings of this type that Buyer may provide or be required to provide to any Debt Financing Source (the “Offering Documentation”), including, prior to the beginning of the applicable marketing period for the Debt Financing, executing and delivering customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda, reviewing and commenting on any draft of a business description and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” of the Acquired Companies’ financial statements to be included in the Offering Documentation, furnishing customary financial information for the preparation of an unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and related unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income and cash flows by (or on behalf of) Buyer to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and causing each Acquired Company’s independent auditors, if any, to provide, consistent with customary practice, reasonable assistance in the preparation of such unaudited pro forma financial statements by Buyer and to deliver customary comfort letters and any required consent for inclusion of financial statements and other financial information in any Offering Documentation; provided that (A) each Seller’s and the Acquired Companies’ obligation to provide information for such materials shall be limited to information about the Acquired Companies and (B) neither Seller and none of the Acquired Companies shall have any obligation to provide any financial or other information that is not reasonably available to Sellers or the Acquired Companies; (ii) cooperating with marketing efforts of Debt Financing Sources, (iii) cooperating with Buyer’s legal counsel in connection with any legal opinions provided that in no event shall either Seller or the Acquired Companies be required to deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, (iv) providing prompt written notice (in reasonable detail) upon knowledge of any facts that would or would likely require the restatement of any financial information or financial statements provided by

Subject to Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Article VI, each Seller (on its behalf and on behalf of each of the Acquired Companies) hereby consents to the use of all logos of such Seller and any of the Acquired Companies in connection with the initial syndication or marketing of the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is customary for such purposes and not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage either Seller or the Acquired Companies or the reputation or goodwill of either Seller or the Acquired Companies.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.6(a), in no event shall the obligations in Section 4.6(a) require either Seller or, before Closing is consummated, any of the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or to pay any commitment or other fee or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing, or incur any Liability or obligation or give any indemnities to any third party in connection with the Debt Financing (or any replacements thereof), (ii) authorize, approve or execute any loan agreements, security agreements or related documents or instruments in connection with the Debt Financing, (iii) take any action that would unreasonably interfere (as reasonably determined by the Seller and the Acquired Companies) with the ongoing business or operations of the Acquired Companies, (iv) execute or enter into any contract or make any binding commitment that is not expressly conditioned on the consummation of the Closing and that does not terminate without Liability to Sellers or the Acquired Companies upon termination of this Agreement; (v) adopt resolutions approving contracts or take any other actions in connection with the Debt Financing; (vi) provide access to or disclosing information that is subject to any attorney-client privilege of Sellers or the Acquired Companies; (vii) take any action that would reasonably be expected to conflict in any respect with, or result in any violation of or default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any Person under, any Law, any governing documents of any of the Acquired Companies, or any Contract to which any of the Acquired Companies is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound, (viii) cause or result in any Closing condition to fail to be satisfied or any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder to be breached, (ix) consent to the pre-filing of any financing statements or any other grant of Encumbrances prior to the Closing Date, (x) have any Liability or obligation under any agreement or document relating to Debt Financing, or (xi) require the delivery of, or assistance in the preparation of, any financial statements other than the Financial Statements.

Section 5.1    Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or reasonably required to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including with respect to any Tax matters as provided in Section 5.3), each Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the requesting Party’s cost and expense (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to ARTICLE VI).

Section 5.2    Confidential Information. Effective upon the Closing, the NDA will automatically terminate without any further action by any Person. From and after the Closing, each Seller will, and will instruct its Affiliates, advisors, representatives and agents to, (a) treat and hold as confidential and proprietary all information concerning the Acquired Companies, Buyer and their respective Affiliates and the business and affairs of Buyer and the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates that is not generally available to the public (provided that any information generally available to the public as a result of either Seller’s breach of this Section 5.2 will not be deemed to be generally available to the public hereunder) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), (b) refrain from using or disclosing any Confidential Information except to its Affiliates, advisors, representatives and agents or as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and (c) promptly deliver to Buyer or destroy, at the election of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of any Confidential Information that are in the possession or under the reasonable control of such Seller, or the reasonable control of any of its Affiliates, advisors, representatives or agents. In the event that either Seller or any of such Seller’s Affiliates, advisors, representatives or agents is requested or required (pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any Legal Proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller or such other Person, as applicable, will promptly notify Buyer (if permitted by law) of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Seller or such other Person, as applicable, is, on the advice of counsel, required to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller or such other Person, as applicable may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed; provided, however, that the disclosing Person will take such actions to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed. Except to the extent disclosed by the Parties pursuant to

applicable securities Laws, the terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements will be deemed Confidential Information.

Section 5.3    Tax Matters.

(a)    Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(i)    During the period between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing and the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, at Sellers’ expense, Representative will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of or with respect to any Acquired Company with a due date (including any applicable extensions) on or before the Closing Date, and shall timely pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes due in connection therewith. Each such Tax Return shall be timely filed, prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, and no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior Tax periods (including any such position, election or method that would have the effect of deferring income to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or accelerating deductions to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date), unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law. No later than 30 days prior (or reasonably prior in case of Tax Returns for Taxes other than income Taxes) to the deadline for the timely filing of any such Tax Returns (including any applicable extensions), Representative will provide a copy of such Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comments, and shall consider any reasonable comments of Buyer in good faith.

(ii)    After the Closing, Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and Buyer will file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of or with respect to any Acquired Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods. No later than 30 days prior (or reasonably prior in case of Tax Returns for Taxes other than income Taxes) to the deadline for the timely filing of any such Tax Returns (including any applicable extensions), Buyer will provide a copy of such Tax Return to Representative for Representative’s review and comments, and shall consider any reasonable comments of Representative in good faith; provided, that to the extent that any such Tax Return could give rise to a liability of any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, if Buyer does not accept any reasonable comment(s) timely provided by Representative with respect to any issue regarding such Tax Return (such disputed issue, “Tax Return Disputed Issue”), then the filing of such Tax Return shall not be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under ARTICLE VI or the amount of Damages relating to such claim, in each case, with respect to the Tax Return Disputed Issue, and the Sellers shall not have any liability under this Agreement with respect to the Tax Return Disputed Issue to the extent that any such reasonable comment(s) not accepted by Buyer could have reduced an applicable Tax liability if accepted. Buyer shall not amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that was filed prior to the Closing Date and that could give rise to a liability of any Seller pursuant to this Agreement without the written consent of Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)    Liability for Taxes. Promptly upon written demand from Buyer, Sellers (in accordance with their respective Relevant Percentage) will reimburse Buyer for all Taxes of any Acquired Company for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and for Seller’s portion (as determined pursuant to Section 5.3(c)) of all Taxes of any Acquired Company for any Straddle Period, to the extent such Taxes were not taken into account in determining the Seller Final Closing Payment. Any amounts paid by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

(c)    Apportionment of Straddle Period Taxes. With respect to any Straddle Period, the Taxes of an Acquired Company attributable to such Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the first day of the Straddle Period and ends on (and includes) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”), which portion will be the responsibility of Sellers, and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the first day after the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Straddle Period, which portion will be the responsibility of Buyer. The portion of any Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. None of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any other Party shall make an election

under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to any US Acquired Company without the prior written consent of Representative.

(d)    Cooperation. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return or claim for refund or any Tax Proceeding, in each case with respect to the Acquired Companies. Such cooperation includes (i) promptly forwarding copies (to the extent related thereto) of relevant Tax notices, forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority and (ii) upon reasonable request, providing each other with records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or Tax Proceedings and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Related Agreements, however, none of Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) shall be required to provide any Tax Returns of Buyer or its Affiliates (other than those Tax Returns described in Section 5.3(a)(ii), Section 5.3(f) or Section 5.3(g)) to any other Party, and none of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) shall be required to provide any Tax Returns of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (other than those Tax Returns described in Sections 5.3(f) or 5.3(g) or Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Companies) to any other Party.

(e)    Control of Tax Proceedings. Buyer will have the right to control and to settle, adjust or compromise in its sole discretion, any Legal Proceeding regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns (“Tax Proceeding”) of or with respect to any Acquired Company. With respect to any such Tax Proceeding that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and could materially affect any obligation of Sellers under this Agreement, Buyer shall permit Representative, at Sellers’ expense, to participate in and to review and comment on any material documents filed or submitted in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and Buyer will consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely provided by Representative. If Buyer does not accept any reasonable comments timely provided by Representative with respect to any issue regarding documents filed or submitted in connection with such Tax Proceeding (such disputed issue, “Tax Proceeding Disputed Issue”), then the settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Tax Proceeding shall not be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under ARTICLE VI or the amount of Damages relating to such claim, in each case, with respect to the Tax Proceeding Disputed Issue, and the Sellers shall not have any liability under this Agreement with respect to the Tax Proceeding Disputed Issue to the extent any such reasonable comment(s) not accepted by Buyer could have reduced an applicable Tax liability if accepted.

(f)    Transfer Taxes. Buyer and each applicable Seller will each prepare and file such Tax Returns as may be, respectively, required of them (other than with respect to the Stamp Duty, which shall be governed by Section 5.3(g)) in connection with all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with or as a result of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Securities hereunder (collectively, including for avoidance of doubt the Stamp Duty, “Transfer Taxes”); provided, however, that the cost of all such Transfer Taxes will be borne 50% by Sellers (in accordance with their respective Relevant Percentages) and 50% by Buyer.

(g)    Stamp Duty. During the period between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing and the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, (i) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the preparation of the instruments of transfer and bought and sold notes relating to the transfer of the HK Purchased Securities and such other supporting documents to be delivered to the Stamp Office on the Closing Date and (ii) HK Seller, US Seller, each HK Acquired Company and each US Acquired Company shall, and shall cause Hey Dude B.V. to, deliver to Buyer on or before the Closing Date the documents and information set forth on Exhibit I. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall submit (or cause to be submitted) the instruments of transfer and bought and sold notes relating to the transfer of the HK Purchased Securities and such other documents required by applicable Law to the Stamp Office for stamping, with the intention that only a “pending adjudication” stamp will be obtained where actual payment of the Stamp Duty will be made after the final determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4. As soon as reasonably practicable, but not more than ten Business Days, following the final determination of the Final Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4, Buyer shall submit (or cause to be submitted) the relevant supporting documents evidencing the amount of the value of the Equity Consideration Shares and the Final Cash Purchase Price allocable to each HK Acquired Company in accordance with applicable Law to the Stamp Office for adjudication of the Stamp Duty payable and shall arrange for the payment of the final Stamp Duty payable accordingly. Throughout the Stamp Duty adjudication process, Representative shall promptly provide to Buyer any other documentation or assistance which Buyer reasonably requests in connection with arrangements for the adjudication of the Stamp Duty. If the Seller Stamp Duty as adjudicated by the Stamp Office exceeds the amount of the Seller Stamp Duty retained by Buyer pursuant to

Section 1.3(b)(v) (as further adjusted by Section 1.4), Sellers (in accordance with their respective Relevant Percentage) shall pay an amount equal to such shortfall to Buyer within ten Business Days upon written notice from Buyer. If the Seller Stamp Duty as adjudicated by the Stamp Office is lower than the amount of the Seller Stamp Duty retained by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(v) (as adjusted by Section 1.4), Buyer shall pay an amount equal to such excess to Sellers (in accordance with their respective Cash Purchase Price Relevant Percentages) within ten Business Days of becoming so aware.

(h)    Tax Contracts. Representative shall terminate or cause to be terminated on or before the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements, Tax indemnification agreements or Tax allocation agreements or similar Contracts that any Acquired Company is a party to or bound by (other than customary commercial Contracts entered into with third parties in the Ordinary Course of Business not primarily related to Taxes or such Contracts solely between or among the Acquired Companies).

(i)    Seller Tax Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, HK Seller shall be permitted at any time to elect to be treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(j)    Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus sixty days.

Section 5.4    Released Claims.

(a)    Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to (a) any claim to enforce the terms of or for any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement (including the right to receive payment under this Agreement), (b) any rights, if any, with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and rights to indemnification or advancement under any Acquired Company’s organizational documents, and (c) any unpaid compensation and employment benefits as of the Closing (collectively, the “Buyer Unreleased Claims”), each Seller, on behalf of such Seller and such Seller’s Releasors, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Acquired Companies and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, directors, equityholders, financing sources, advisors, attorneys, consultants and representatives and any predecessors, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Buyer Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business, any Acquired Company or Buyer (collectively, the “Buyer Released Liabilities”), and each Seller and each of its respective Releasors will not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Buyer Released Person. Each Seller represents on its own behalf and on behalf of such Seller’s Releasors that such Seller has not and none of its Releasors has, asserted any claim against any Buyer Released Person for indemnification or otherwise and that such Seller is not, and none of its Releasors is aware of any claim by such Seller or any of its Releasors (nor of any fact, circumstance or event that forms or would form the basis for any such claim) other than Buyer Unreleased Claims or claims that are waived, released and forever discharged under this Section 5.4. Each Seller is aware that such Seller or any of its Releasors may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that such Seller or any of its Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released herein, but that, except for the Buyer Unreleased Claims, it is the intention of such Seller and its Releasors to fully and finally release all Buyer Released Liabilities and Liabilities of any nature related thereto that do exist, may exist or heretofore have existed. Each Seller irrevocably covenants, and irrevocably covenants to cause such Seller’s Releasors, to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Legal Proceeding of any kind against any Buyer Released Person, based upon any matter released under this Section 5.4 (which expressly exclude the Buyer Unreleased Claims). Each Seller represents and warrants on such Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of such Seller’s Releasors to the Buyer Released Persons that neither Seller, nor any of its Releasors has assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any portion of, or any interest in any Buyer Released Liability or any Legal Proceeding or Liability that is or that purports to be released or discharged under this Section 5.4. Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise available to any Buyer Released Person, each Seller on its own behalf and on behalf of such Seller’s Releasors, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Released Person from and against all Liabilities, whether or not involving third party claims, directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from, attributable to, or in any way incidental to the occurrence of the assertion by or on such Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of any of such Seller’s Releasors of any claim or other matter purported to be released under this Section 5.4(a).

(b)    Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to any claim to enforce the terms of or for any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement (the “Company Unreleased Claims”), each Acquired Company, on behalf of itself and such Acquired Company’s Releasors, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges each Seller and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, directors, equityholders, financing sources, advisors, attorneys, consultants and representatives and any predecessors, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Company Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business, any Acquired Company or Buyer (collectively, the “Company Released Liabilities”), and each of Seller and its respective Releasors will not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Company Released Person. Seller represents on its own behalf and on behalf of such Person’s Releasors that none of Seller or its respective Releasors has asserted any claim against any Company Released Person for indemnification or otherwise and that none of Seller or any of its respective Releasors is aware of any claim by Seller or any of its respective Releasors (nor of any fact, circumstance or event that forms or would form the basis for any such claim) other than Company Unreleased Claims or claims that are waived, released and forever discharged under this Section 5.4. Seller is aware that Seller or any of its respective Releasors may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that Seller or any of its respective Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released herein, but that, except for the Company Unreleased Claims, it is the intention of Seller and its respective Releasors to fully and finally release all Company Released Liabilities and Liabilities of any nature related thereto that do exist, may exist or heretofore have existed. Seller irrevocably covenants, and irrevocably covenants to cause the such Person’s Releasors, to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Legal Proceeding of any kind against any Company Released Person, based upon any matter released under this Section 5.4 (which expressly exclude the Company Unreleased Claims). Seller represents and warrants on such Person’s own behalf and on behalf of such Person’s Releasors to the Company Released Persons that neither Seller, nor any of its respective Releasors has assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any portion of, or any interest in any Company Released Liability or any Legal Proceeding or Liability that is or that purports to be released or discharged under this Section 5.4. Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise available to any Company Released Person, each of Seller on its own behalf and on behalf of such Person’s Releasors, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Released Person from and against all Liabilities, whether or not involving third party claims, directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from, attributable to, or in any way incidental to the occurrence of the assertion by or on Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of any of Seller’s Releasors of any claim or other matter purported to be released under this Section 5.4(b).

Section 5.5    Employee Matters.

(a)    From the Closing Date until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or until termination of the applicable Continuing Employee’s (as such term is defined below) employment), Buyer shall provide or cause the Acquired Companies (or another Affiliate of Buyer) to provide each employee of the Acquired Companies who is employed by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing and who remains employed by the Acquired Companies immediately after the Closing (each such employee, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) an annual base salary or base hourly wage rate, as applicable, that is at least equal to the annual base salary or base hourly wage rate, as applicable, payable by the Acquired Companies to such Continuing Employee as of date hereof (as such amount may be increased between the date hereof and the Closing for reasonable merit increases in the Ordinary Course of Business), (ii) annual cash bonus or incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity incentives) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those (excluding equity and equity-based incentives) provided under the Benefit Plans listed in Schedule 3.1(q)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule by the Acquired Companies to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (but disregarding any increases or enhancements made to such bonus and incentive compensation opportunities between the date hereof and the Closing), and (iii) other employee benefits (other than pension benefits, deferred compensation benefits, retiree health and welfare benefits, severance, retention, transaction and change of control benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (other than pension benefits, deferred compensation benefits, retiree health and welfare benefits, severance, retention, transaction and change of control benefits) provided under the Benefit Plans listed in Schedule 3.1(q)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing (but disregarding any increases or enhancements made to such employee benefits between the date hereof and the Closing). If the employment of any Continuing Employee is terminated by Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) (other than for cause or summary dismissal and other than by virtue of a

transfer of employment between Buyer and/or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies)) within the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer will provide such employee with severance benefits in a manner consistent with Buyer’s severance guidelines, as then in effect; provided, however, that, to the extent applicable, the calculation of any such severance benefits shall take into account such Continuing Employee’s service with the Acquired Companies as well as such Continuing Employee’s service with Buyer and its Affiliates.

(c)    Nothing in this Section 5.5 is intended, or shall be construed, to (i) confer upon any Continuing Employee or any other Person other than the Parties to this Agreement any rights or remedies hereunder, including any third-party beneficiary rights, any right to employment or continued employment (or any particular term or condition of employment), or any right to enforce the terms of this Section 5.5, (ii) establish, amend or be deemed to establish or amend any Benefit Plan, any New Plan or any other benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or shall limit the rights of any Acquired Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to establish, amend or terminate any Benefit Plan, any New Plan or any other benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether before, on or after Closing, or (iii) restrict or impair, in any way, the rights of the Acquired Companies, Buyer and their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Continuing Employee or any other Person (or to change the terms and conditions of such employment or service) at any time and for any (or no) reason, whether before, at or after the Closing.

Section 5.7    Commitment Regarding Indemnification Provisions.

(a)    During the period that commences on the Closing Date and ends on the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the organizational documents of any Acquired Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification or exculpation in favor of, and limitation on the personal liability of, each current or former director, manager or officer of any Acquired Company or other Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to such organizational documents (collectively, “Covered Persons”) than are as provided for in the organizational documents of the Acquired Companies in effect as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may amend, modify or terminate, or permit the amendment, medication or termination of any Acquired Company’s organizational documents in any manner that would not be materially adverse to the Covered Persons with respect to pre-Closing periods.

(b)    As of the Closing, Sellers have obtained or caused one or more of the Acquired Companies to obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance with respect to the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date with a claims period of six years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors, managers and officers of the Acquired Companies, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “Tail Policy”).

(d)    This Section 5.7 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Covered Persons and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Covered Person is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable law, Contract, organizational documents or otherwise.

The representations and warranties regarding the Acquired Companies in Section 3.1, the representations and warranties regarding Sellers in Section 3.2 (and in either Seller Closing Certificate with respect thereto), the agreements, covenants and obligations of Sellers in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, and all associated obligations of Sellers with respect to indemnification are individual and several, and not joint, obligations, and each Seller shall only be liable for such Seller’s obligations with respect to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, that Sellers will be jointly and severally liable for any indemnification obligations satisfied by Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Person by recovery from the Escrow Account as contemplated in Section 6.6.

(a)    Notice of Claims. Any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person, as applicable, claiming indemnification hereunder (each, a “Claiming Party”) will deliver, in the case of a claim against either Seller, to Representative, or in the case of a claim against Buyer, to Buyer (the “Indemnifying Party”) notice (each, a “Claim Notice”) of any claim (each, a “Claim”) as to which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable after Claiming Party has received notice thereof or otherwise becomes aware of such Claim; provided that failure to give timely notice will not limit the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice. Each Claim Notice will specify the basis under this Agreement for the Claim and set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and include a copy of any papers or other reasonable supporting documentation in connection therewith.

(b)    Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts.

(i)    Indemnifying Party will have the right to object to Claiming Party’s right to be indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VI for any Claim made pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) by delivering written notice of such objection (each, a “Claim Objection Notice”) to the applicable Claiming Party within twenty days following Indemnifying Party’s receipt of a Claim Notice (such period, the “Claim Objection Period”). The Claim Objection Notice with respect to any Claim will specify in reasonable detail the basis for Indemnifying Party’s objection to such Claim. In the event that Indemnifying Party does not accept a Claim within the Claim Objection Period, Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected the Claim set forth in the Claim Notice.

(ii)    In the event Indemnifying Party timely delivers a Claim Objection Notice to Claiming Party with respect to any particular Claim or does not accept a Claim within the Claim Objection Period pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i), (A) Claiming Party will have 20 days after receipt of such Claim Objection Notice or expiration of the Claim Objection Period (as applicable) to respond to any Claim Objection Notice (if received) in a written statement or provide written notice that that no Claim Objection Notice has been received, and (B) Claiming Party and Indemnifying Party will attempt in good faith during the 20-day period after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such written response or notice (as applicable) to reach a settlement of such Claim. If such a settlement is reached with respect to such Claim, then Claiming Party’s right to recovery in respect of such Claim (to the extent Claiming Party is the Buyer or a Buyer Indemnified Person, by offset against the Escrow Amount or payment in cash, as applicable, pursuant to Section 6.6) will be effective as of the date of settlement. If no such settlement can be reached after good faith negotiation during such 20-day period, then either Claiming Party or Indemnifying Party may commence a Legal Proceeding to resolve such Claim in accordance with Section 8.8 and Section 8.9. Any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section 6.2(b) may be commenced against the applicable Seller or, in lieu or of in addition to HK Seller, against Guarantor, and Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor and HK Seller shall be deemed to be jointly and severally liable in any such Legal Proceeding and for any Damages awarded in connection therewith.

(iii)    This Section 6.2(b) will not apply to any Legal Proceeding for, or in any way limit the rights and remedies of any Party with respect to or such Party’s right to seek, specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief or other equitable remedies pursuant to Section 8.9(b) or otherwise.

(c)    Third-Party Claims. If any Claim is a third-party claim (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), then the following provisions will apply:

(i)    Claiming Party will have the right to defend the Third-Party Claim with counsel of Claiming Party’s choice; provided that Claiming Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim diligently and must keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim (and, in any event, Claiming Party shall provide prompt written notice of such Claim to Indemnifying Party and acknowledge that Claiming Party is assuming the defense thereof not later than 20 days following receipt of the Claim); and provided, further, that Indemnifying Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third-Party Claim. If Claiming Party elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently defend such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may pay, compromise, or defend such Third-Party Claim.

(ii)    Claiming Party shall not enter into settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding asserted or initiated against Claiming Party constituting the subject matter of a Claim or, as the case may be, having resulted from any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party unless such settlement unless involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnifying Party or impose any future limitations on the Indemnifying Party’s business or operations, and includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnifying Party of a release (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. If an offer is made in writing to Claiming Party to settle any matter giving rise to the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Article VI, (A) Claiming Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such offer (such notice to include the material terms thereof) and (B) if the Indemnifying Party, but not Claiming Party, is willing to accept, Claiming Party (as applicable) shall not be obligated to enter into such settlement and may commence or continue litigation, at Claiming Party’s own expense provided that, if the Indemnifying Party timely gives written notice to Claiming Party with respect to its willingness to accept, the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification liability with respect to such Claim shall be limited to the amount of the proposed settlement.

(iii)    If Claiming Party elects not to defend any Third-Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to diligently defend such Third-Party Claim then (A) the Indemnifying Party will assume and diligently conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim and will keep Claiming Party reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim, (B) Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (C) Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Claiming Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by Indemnifying Party, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Claiming Party or any of its Affiliates or impose any future limitations on Claiming Party’s or any of its Affiliate’s business or operations, and includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to Claiming Party and its Affiliates of a release (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Claiming Party) from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. If Indemnifying Party fails to defend such Third-Party Claim as provided above in this Section 6.2(c)(iii), then Claiming Party may pay, settle, compromise and defend such Third-Party Claim and will be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim and its defense thereof, including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and all amounts paid in settlement thereof or as a result of any judgment related thereto.

(iv)    Claiming Party and Indemnifying Party will cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and will make available to the Party or Parties defending such Claim such materials and assistance relating thereto as is reasonably requested from such Person.

(v)    Indemnifying Party will reimburse Claiming Party, upon final determination of any Third-Party Claim or at such earlier time and frequency as reasonably requested by Claiming Party, for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in defending such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.2(c).

(vi)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Tax Proceedings shall be governed solely by Section 5.3(e).

Section 6.4    Limitations on Indemnification Obligations

(a)    Deductibles and Individual Claim Threshold.

(i)    Except as provided in Section 6.4(a)(iv) and Section 6.4(a)(v) and after first applying the limitation in Section 6.4(a)(iii), the Buyer Indemnified Persons will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to any Claims based on Section 6.1(a)(i), other than such Claims with respect to any Fundamental Representation or Specified IP Representation, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) exceeds $12,500,000 (the “General Deductible”). If the aggregate amount of all Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to any Claims based on Section 6.1(a)(i) exceed the General Deductible, then Seller will be obligated for any Damages pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) (other than such Damages with respect to any Fundamental Representation or Specified IP Representation) only in excess of the General Deductible (subject to the other express limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VI).

If the aggregate amount of all Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to any Claims based on Section 6.1(a)(i) with respect to breach of any Specified IP Representation exceed the IP Deductible, then Sellers will be obligated for any Damages pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) with respect to breach of any Specified IP Representation only in excess of the IP Deductible (subject to the other express limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VI).

(iii)    No Buyer Indemnified Persons will assert, or be entitled to, Damages for any claims for indemnification pursuant to any Claims based on Section 6.1(a)(i), other than such Claims with respect to any Fundamental Representation, in respect of any Damage incurred or suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Person that is not equal to or in excess of $50,000.

(iv)    The limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a)(i) and (ii) will not apply to or otherwise affect the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to Claims based on or for (A) a breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation (or any inaccuracy of any Seller Closing Certificate with respect to Fundamental Representations), (B) Fraud, or, for the avoidance of doubt, (C) indemnification under Sections 6.1(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi).

(v)    The limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a)(i) will not apply to or otherwise affect the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to Claims based on or for a breach or inaccuracy of any Specified IP Representation (or any inaccuracy of any Seller Closing Certificate with respect to any Specified IP Representations).

(b)    Caps.

(i)    Other than any Claims with respect to any Fundamental Representation or Specified IP Representation, Sellers’ obligations to provide indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(i) will not exceed the amount that remains in the Escrow Account; provided, however, that if the Escrow Account has been reduced as a result of the payment of a Claim made pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(v), then Sellers’ obligations to provide indemnification for Damages under Section 6.1(a)(i) (other than any Claims with respect to any Fundamental Representation or Specified IP Representation) will not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to $125,000,000.

(ii)    Sellers’ obligations to provide indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(i) with respect to any Specified IP Representations in the aggregate will not exceed an amount equal to $175,000,000 plus the amount that remains in the Escrow Account.

obligations in the aggregate pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $2,000,000,000.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers’ maximum liability with respect to any indemnification obligations in the aggregate pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $2,500,000,000.

(vi)    Other than any Claims with respect to a breach of a Buyer Fundamental Representation, Buyer’s obligations to provide indemnification under Section 6.1(b)(i), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to $125,000,000.

(c)    Other Recovery; Mitigation.

(i)    All Damages will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons under insurance policies or other sources of indemnification with respect to such Damages (net of expenses incurred in connection with such recovery and any related premium adjustments).

(ii)    If Buyer receives, directly or indirectly, a Tax Benefit (as defined below) after the related indemnification payment is made to it within the year of such payment is made or in either of the next two (2) succeeding years, Buyer shall promptly pay the amount of such Tax Benefit (net of any Tax liability to the indemnitee or any of its Affiliates attributable to the related indemnification payment) to the applicable Seller. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes actually received in cash or any reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid by Buyer, in each case that results, directly or indirectly, from being able to deduct the Damages for Tax purposes.

(iii)    In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Person be entitled to duplicate recovery with respect to the same Damage under more than one provision of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, or to the extent a Buyer Indemnified Person received the benefits of an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof.

For purposes of (i) determining the amount of Damages arising out of, relating to or resulting from any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, and (ii) determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 has occurred, all Materiality Qualifiers in such representation or warranty will be disregarded and each such representation and warranty will be read and interpreted without regard to any Materiality Qualifier.

Section 6.5    Exclusive Remedy for Monetary Damages. With regard to any Claims for monetary Damages related to any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties in this Agreement, Claiming Party’s right to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI will be Claiming Party’s exclusive remedy for any such Claims, and Claiming Party will not be entitled to any other monetary remedy from either Seller with regard thereto.

Section 6.6    Recourse.

(a)    Payments required to be made with respect to any Claim resulting from Section 6.1(a) shall be satisfied first by recovering from the Escrow Account, and to the extent any remaining amounts in the Escrow Account are not sufficient to cover all payments required to be made with respect to a Claim resulting from a breach of any Fundamental Representation or Specified IP Representations or indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v), except as otherwise provided in the proviso in Section 6.4(b)(i), or the Escrow Amount has been released, then Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover from each Seller by demanding cash payment of monetary Damages (subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article VI) from such Seller with respect to any Damages owed by such Seller pursuant to such Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article VI, and such Seller shall pay such Damages by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Buyer.

(b)    The remedies set forth in Section 6.6(a) are not exclusive of any non-monetary remedies the Buyer Indemnified Persons may exercise at law or in equity to satisfy Sellers’ indemnification obligations hereunder.

Section 6.7    Knowledge and Investigation. All representations and warranties of Sellers and regarding the Acquired Companies contained in this Agreement are deemed relied upon by the Buyer Indemnified Persons, regardless of any knowledge, investigation or representation made by any Buyer Indemnified Person, and will not be waived by any failure to pursue any action or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(b)    by Buyer, on the one hand, or Representative, on the other hand, if the Closing will not have occurred on or before June 30, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) will not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act in violation of this Agreement is the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the End Date, and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(c)    by Buyer (so long as it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and its actions or failure to act in violation of this Agreement have not caused or resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement to be consummated), if either Seller breaches any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement hereunder, or if any representation or warranty is breached or becomes inaccurate, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty became inaccurate, and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured, or by its nature cannot be cured, within 30 days following receipt by Representative of written notice of such breach or inaccuracy;

(d)    by Representative (so long no Seller nor any Acquired Company is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and no actions or failure to act by either Seller or any Acquired Company in violation of this Agreement have caused or resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement to be consummated), if Buyer breaches any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder, or if any representation or warranty of Buyer is breached or becomes inaccurate, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(c) or Section 2.3(d) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty becomes inaccurate, and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured, or by its nature cannot be cured, within 30 days following receipt by Buyer of written notice of such breach or inaccuracy;

The exercise of a right of termination of this Agreement is not an election of remedies.
