Earn-out

6.1

The Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers in addition to the Purchase Price an additional purchase price (the "Earn-out") equal to the Total Earn-out Amount (as defined in Section 6.2 below), which shall be calculated and become payable according to Sections 6, 7 and 8.

6.2

The "Total Earn-out Amount" shall be the balance of the Earn-out Amount payable for each Relevant Year.

6.3

A "Relevant Year" shall be each of the financial years of the Group Companies comprising twelve (12) consecutive months and ending on December 31, 2022 (the "Relevant Year 2022"), December 31, 2023 (the "Relevant Year 2023") and December 31, 2024 (the "Relevant Year 2024"), provided that the Purchaser shall be entitled to change the financial year of the Group Companies in such way that it ends on January 29. In such event provided that it has occurred before January 29, 2022, the term Relevant Year shall refer to such adjusted financial year (i.e. the Relevant Year 2022, 2023 and 2024 shall start on January 30, 2022, 2023, 2024 and shall end on January 29, 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively).

6.4

The "Earn-out Amount" for each Relevant Year shall be calculated as follows:

6.4.1

In case the Revenues (as defined below) for a Relevant Year amount to at least the Target Revenues for such Relevant Year the Earn-out Amount for such Relevant Year shall amount to EUR 14,000,000.00. In case the Revenues for a Relevant Year amount to equal or less than the Threshold Revenues for such Relevant Year, no Earn-out Amount for such Relevant Year shall be payable in such Relevant Year, whereby Section 6.4.2 shall remain unaffected. If the Revenues for a Relevant Year amount to more than the Threshold Revenues for such Relevant Year but less than the Target Revenues for such Relevant Year the Earn-out Amount for such Relevant Year shall be equal to an amount which is interpolated linearly between EUR 0 and EUR 14,000,000.00.

6.4.2

The calculation of the Earn-out Amounts shall be subject to a catch-up mechanism to cater for the possibility to earn the Total Earn-out Amount. If in any Relevant Year, the Revenues exceed the Target Revenues, such excess amount shall be added to the Revenues of (i) firstly, the preceding Relevant Year(s) (if any) if in such Relevant Year(s) the Threshold Revenues were not exceeded and/or the Target Revenues were not reached or exceeded (and consequently not the entire Earn-out Amount has been paid) by such amount of the excess amount until the Target Revenues are met and to the result that the portion of the Earn-out Amount not paid to the Sellers may be earned in the following Relevant Year(s), and, (ii) secondly, the following Relevant Year(s) (if any) to the result that the excess amount shall be accounted for in the calculation of the Earn-out Amount as if such Revenues had been earned in such Relevant Year, provided that in any case the maximum aggregate Total Earn-out Amount shall not exceed EUR 42,000,000.00.

As example:

(a)

If in the Relevant Year 2022 the Revenues amount to the Threshold Revenues (i.e. a shortfall from the Target Revenues in this Relevant Year of EUR 30,225,000) and in the Relevant Year 2023 the Revenues amount to the Target Revenues and in the Relevant Year 2024 the Revenues exceed the Target Revenues by an amount which is equal to the difference between the Target Revenues and the Threshold Revenues for the Relevant Year 2022 (i.e. EUR 30,225,000), the following Earn-out Amounts become payable: EUR 0 for the Relevant Year 2022, EUR 14,000,000.00 for the Relevant Year 2023 and EUR 28,000,000.00 for the Relevant Year 2024.

(b)

If in the Relevant Year 2022 the Revenues amount to EUR 268,835,000.00 (i.e. an excess amount of EUR 37,110,000.00) and in the Relevant Year 2023 the Revenues amount to the Target Revenues and in the Relevant Year 2024 the Revenues amount to the Threshold Revenues, the following Earn-out Amounts become payable: EUR 14,000,000.00 for each Relevant Year of 2022, 2023 and 2024.

6.4.3

The "Threshold Revenues" are set forth on Exhibit 6.4.3.

6.4.4

The "Target Revenues" are set forth on Exhibit 6.4.4.

6.4.5

"Revenues" shall be the revenues (Umsatzerlöse) of the business of the Group Companies according to Section 275 para. 2 no. 1 HGB determined on the basis of the consolidated (consolidating all of the Group Companies) financial statements of the Company 1 for the applicable Relevant Year as finally determined according to Section 7.

6.5

Each Earn-out Amount and the Total Earn-out Amount shall not be a negative amount.

6.6

The maximum aggregate Total Earn-out Amount shall not exceed EUR 42,000,000.00.

6.7

The Earn-out Amount for each Relevant Year shall be finally determined between the Parties according to Section 7.

6.8

A sample calculation of the Earn-out Amounts based on purely illustrative figures and the catch-up mechanism pursuant to Section 6.4.2 is set out for illustration purposes in Exhibit 6.8.

6.9

The Earn-out Amount for any given Relevant Year shall in the amount set out in the Purchaser Report become due for payment within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Purchaser Report to the Sellers. If and to the extent that the Earn-out Amount that has become final and binding between the Parties in accordance with this Agreement exceeds the Earn-out Amount set out in the applicable Purchaser Report, the excess amount plus interest pursuant to Section 6.11 shall be due for payment within ten (10) Business Days after having become final and binding as set out in Section 7.6.

6.10

If the Purchaser (i) fails to provide the Purchaser Report when due in accordance with Section 7.2 with respect to any given Relevant Year, and does not deliver such Purchaser Report, within further ten (10) Business Days after a written warning of the Sellers or, (ii) is in material and continued default of its obligations under Section 9 and does not remedy such default, within further twenty (20) Business Days after a written warning of the Sellers (each a "Default Event"), the minimum amount of the Earn-out Amount for the Relevant Year in which the Default Event occurs shall, deviating from any of the foregoing, be EUR 14,000,000.00 each for the Relevant Year 2022, the Relevant Year 2023 and/or the Relevant Year 2024, as applicable, and in case of the Relevant Year 2023 and/or the Relevant Year 2024 increased by the relevant amount pursuant to Section 6.4.2 (if any) and the aggregate amount for the respective Relevant Year shall become due for payment sixty (60) days following the relevant Default Event (and not be subject to any repayment). Section 6.6 remains unaffected.

6.11

Any Earn-out Amount shall bear interest of six percent (6%) p.a., calculated on basis of the Earn-out Amount that becomes final and binding for the period from the applicable Earn-out Due Date to the date the excess amount becomes due pursuant to Section 6.9. The "Earn-out Due Date" shall mean with respect to any given Relevant Year the date that falls thirty (30) days after the expiry of the period pursuant to Section 7.2. Section 10.5 shall remain unaffected, provided that as regards the excess amount that becomes due pursuant to Section 6.9, Section 10.5 shall apply only as of the expiry of the due date pursuant to Section 6.9 last sentence.

6.12

The Total Earn-out Amount and any component thereof shall – as agreed between the Sellers – be divided and allocated among Seller 1, Seller 2 and Seller 3 in the Seller Ratio 2 and shall be paid to the respective Seller into the respective Seller's Bank Account pursuant to Section 10.1.

6.13

In the event that the payment of any Earn-out Amount triggers the obligation of the Sellers to pay a Transaction Bonus to any 1-2-3.TV Manager, the Purchaser shall upon notification of the Sellers of the relevant calculation be entitled to withhold the respective Transaction Bonus including the respective Transaction Bonus Tax from the respective Earn-out Amount and shall directly pay to 1-2-3.TV GmbH such Transaction Bonus including the respective Transaction Bonus Tax and undertakes vis-à-vis the Sellers to procure that 1-2.3.TV GmbH pays on the respective due date of the Earn-out Amount the Transaction Bonus (less any Transaction Bonus Tax) to the 1-2-3.TV Manager and the Transaction Bonus Tax to the Tax Authorities in such amount as calculated by 1-2-3.TV GmbH based on the amount of the payable Transaction Bonus as notified by the Sellers (such notice to be delivered at the latest ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant due date) in accordance with the Transaction Bonus Settlement Agreement.

each of the Sellers' Guarantees under Section 13.4 (Ownership of Sold Shares; No Encumbrances) are made by each of the Sellers, and by each Seller only with respect to the respective Sold Shares sold by itself hereunder and not with respect to any other Sold Shares;

13.1.3

each of the Sellers' Guarantees under Section 13.7 (Relations with Related Parties) and Section 13.17 (No Leakage) are made by each of the Sellers only with respect to itself and its respective Related Parties, and not with respect to any other Seller or any other Sellers' Related Parties; "Related Party" shall mean, in respect of a Party, such Party's Affiliates and their related parties pursuant to Section 138 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung – InsO), as applicable;

all other Sellers' Guarantees not referred to under Sections 13.1.1 through 13.1.4 are made by all Sellers severally on a pro rata basis, i.e. for each Purchaser's Claim relating to a Breach of such Sellers' Guarantee each Seller shall only be liable in proportion to its respective ratio as set out in Exhibit 13.1.5 (such ratio, the "Seller Ratio 3");

Remedies

15.1

In the event of a breach of a Sellers' Guarantee or Sellers' Covenant (each a "Breach") (other than in the event of those Breaches which are set forth in Section 15.2), (i) the Seller(s) having committed the Breach shall put the Purchaser, or at the election of the Purchaser, the respective Group Company, into the position the Purchaser, or the respective Group Company, as the case may be, would have been in if the respective Breach had not occurred (restitution in kind – Naturalrestitution) or (ii) if the relevant Seller is unable to achieve, or finally refuses (which refusal shall lie in the sole and unfettered discretion of such Seller), the restitution in kind within two (2) months after having been notified by the Purchaser of the Breach in accordance with Section 15.5.1 or a restitution in kind is impossible or commercially unreasonable, pay monetary damages (Schadensersatz in Geld) to the Purchaser or at the election of the Purchaser the respective Group Company (the claims of the Purchaser under (i) and (ii) each a "Purchaser's Claim"). For purposes of determining the liability of the Sellers for the losses incurred by the Purchaser or the respective Group Company, as the case may be, the legal principles of calculation of damages, mitigation of damages and offsetting of advantages (Schadensberechnung, Schadensminderung und Vorteilsanrechnung) pursuant to Sections 249 et seqq.

15.3.4

the Purchaser, an Affiliate of the Purchaser or after Closing a Group Company has participated in causing (mitverursacht) the Loss pursuant to Section 254 para. 1 BGB or failed to comply with its duty to mitigate damages pursuant to Section 254 para. 2 sentence 1 BGB;

15.3.5

the Purchaser's Claim does result from, or is increased by, the passing of, or any change in any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, common law rule or administrative practice of any government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body after the Signing Date;

15.3.6

the underlying facts or circumstances on which the Purchaser's Claim is based were actually known (positives Wissen) by the Purchaser on the Signing Date, whereby the knowledge of the persons listed in Exhibit 15.3.6 shall be attributed to the Purchaser. Without limitation of the foregoing, the following facts and circumstances are deemed to be actually known by the Purchaser, if and to the extent such facts and circumstances were Fairly Disclosed in:

15.4

Section 442 BGB and Section 377 HGB shall not apply.

15.5

In the event of an actual or potential Purchaser's Claim that is not subject to the W&I Cap, the following principles shall apply:

15.5.2

The Purchaser shall, and shall procure after Closing that the Group Companies, cooperate with the relevant Seller(s) in respect of the Third Party Claim and defend or settle each Third Party Claim upon the request and in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Seller(s). The relevant Seller(s) shall in any event be entitled to participate in, and direct, any and all negotiations and correspondence with the third party in relation to the Third Party Claim and the Purchaser shall, and shall procure after Closing that the Group Companies, the relevant Seller(s) and their legal advisors are given the reasonable opportunity to do so, including by providing promptly all correspondence regarding the Third Party Claim, and giving the relevant Seller(s) and their legal advisors due advance notice of any meetings and scheduled communications in this respect. No action by a Seller in this respect shall however be construed as an acceptance of a Breach (keine Anerkenntnis).

15.5.3

In no event shall the Purchaser or any of the Group Companies be entitled to acknowledge or settle a claim or permit any such acknowledgement or settlement without the relevant Seller's/Sellers' prior written consent to the extent that such claims may result in a liability of the relevant Seller(s) under this Agreement.

15.5.4

To the extent that a Seller is in Breach, all costs and expenses incurred by such Seller in defending such claim shall be borne by such Seller, unless such costs are covered by the third party that has raised the Third Party Claim. To the extent such Seller was not in Breach reasonable costs incurred by the Sellers in connection with the defense shall be borne by the Purchaser if not covered by the third party that has raised the Third Party Claim.

16.

Expiration and Limitation of Claims of Purchaser

16.2.2

In any case the overall liability of each of the Sellers against the Purchaser under or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to and in no event exceed the amount which is equal to (i) an amount equal to the Purchase Price (actually received by all Sellers; including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payments made on behalf of the Sellers to 1-2-3.TV GmbH pursuant to Sections 4.7.1 and 4.7.2) multiplied with the respective Seller’s Sellers' Ratio 3 plus (ii) an amount equal to the Earn-out Amounts (actually received by all Sellers; including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payments made on behalf of the Sellers to 1-2-3.TV GmbH pursuant to Section 6.13) multiplied with the respective Seller’s Sellers' Ratio 3, it being understood that only such parts of the Vendor Loan Amount shall be deemed received by the relevant Seller pursuant to (i) above that have been paid back under the Vendor Loan Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payments made on behalf of the Sellers to 1-2-3.TV GmbH pursuant to Section 6 of the Vendor Loan Agreement).

Section 203 BGB shall not apply unless the relevant Parties agree in writing that the expiry period shall be tolled (gehemmt) on the basis of pending settlement negotiations.

16.5

The limitations and exclusion of claims under this Agreement shall not apply to claims of the Purchaser arising as a result of willful or intentional breach of a Seller's obligation under this Agreement, in which cases German statutory law shall apply.

16.6

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from the Sellers more than once in respect of the same damage suffered (no double dip). In particular, without limitation, the foregoing shall apply where one and the same set of facts (Sachverhalt) qualifies under more than one provision entitling the Purchaser to a claim or remedy under or in connection with this Agreement.

16.7

Any Purchaser's Claims are subject to the condition precedent that Closing has occurred.

16.8

To the extent this Agreement provides primary obligations (Primärleistungsverpflichtungen) under this Agreement and no specific remedies in case of breaches of such primary obligations are provided for under this Agreement, Section 15.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis as exclusive remedy for secondary claims. The right to claim specific performance shall remain unaffected. In the event this Agreement stipulates specific remedies in case of breaches of primary obligations, exclusively such remedies shall apply.

16.9

Unless explicitly set out in this Agreement and to the extent permitted by law, any further claims and remedies against the Sellers, irrespective of which nature, amount or legal basis, are hereby expressly waived and excluded, in particular, without limitation, claims under pre-contractual fault (Sections 311 para. 2 and 3, 241 para. 2 BGB), for breach of contract (Pflichtverletzung aus dem Schuldverhältnis, culpa in contrahendo), on the basis of statutory warranty provisions (gesetzlicher Gewährleistungsbestimmungen) or tort (unerlaubter Handlung) as well as any and all other claims, which could, due to a withdrawal (Rücktritt), challenging (Anfechtung), defects of the legal basis of the Agreement (Störung der Geschäftsgrundlage), reduction of the Purchase Price or any other reasons result in the termination (Beendigung), invalidity (Unwirksamkeit) or winding up (Rückabwicklung) of this Agreement, an amendment of its content or a repayment or reduction of the Purchase Price, unless such claim is based on a willful act (vorsätzliche Handlung) of or fraudulent misrepresentation (arglistige Täuschung) by a Seller.

16.10.2

the Sellers shall not be liable towards the Purchaser for willful acts or fraudulent misrepresentations of vicarious agents or knowledge representatives of any Seller, except for the persons belonging to the Sellers' deal team as listed in Exhibit 16.10.1.

With respect to the Insured Claims pursuant to Sections 13.2 through 13.4, the Purchaser shall first raise its claims up to the limit of liability under the W&I Insurance against the Insurer and only if and to the extent the limit of liability is reached under W&I Insurance the Purchaser may raise claims against the Sellers; Section 16.2.2 remains unaffected.
