AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Party hereby agrees:
ARTICLE 1.
PURCHASE
1.1    Purchase of the Purchased Units.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers will and hereby do sell, assign, contribute, transfer and deliver to Buyer the Purchased Units, with each such Seller selling that number of Purchased Units as are set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule 1.1 of the Disclosure Schedules, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
(b)    Any and all payments to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (whether pursuant to the Closing Date Payment, the Indemnity Escrow Funds, the Earnout Payments or otherwise) shall be made to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers).
1.2    Purchase Price; Closing Date Payment.
At the Closing, Buyer will deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers based on the applicable Pro Rata Percentages for each such Seller as set forth on Schedule 1.1 (the “Pro Rata Percentages”)) an aggregate amount as set forth below (the “Closing Date Payment”):
(a)    Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) less the Estimated Closing Working Capital Shortfall, if any;
(b)    less an amount equal to [***] (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”);
(c)    less an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Company Expenses (which amounts are set forth on Schedule 1.2(c) and shall be repaid at Closing through payments from Buyer to the parties owed such amounts pursuant to payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Buyer);
(d)    less an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Change of Control Payments (which amounts are set forth on Schedule 1.2(d) and shall be repaid at Closing through payments from Buyer to the parties owed such amounts pursuant to payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Buyer);
(e)    less an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Transaction Bonus Payments (which amounts are set forth on Schedule 1.8 and shall be paid at Closing as provided in Section 1.8(b));
(f)    less an amount equal to the Company Closing Indebtedness (which amounts are set forth on Schedule 1.2(f) and shall be repaid at Closing through payments from Buyer to the lenders pursuant to payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Buyer); and
(g)    less an amount equal to [***] to be placed in a Sellers’ Representative administrative account as identified by the Sellers’ Representative prior to Closing (the “Sellers’ Representative Fund”) (and to be used by the Sellers’ Representative to pay any fees, costs or other expenses it may incur in

3


performing its duties or exercising its rights hereunder; with any amounts remaining in the Sellers’ Representative Fund distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Percentages promptly following such time that the Sellers’ Representative determines that its duties under this Agreement have concluded).
The aggregate amount to be paid by Buyer at Closing (that is the amount of the Closing Date Payment plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(b) plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(c) plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(d) plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(e) plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(f) plus the amount set forth in Section 1.2(g)) (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 below) together with the Earnout Payments, prior to any application of Section 1.7(e), paid under Section 1.7 (if any) below are collectively the “Purchase Price”. The Purchase Price payable to the Sellers will be paid in immediately available funds to an account, and pursuant to such payment instructions, as may be designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (and which shall include the schedule amounts and computations set forth in this Section 1.2 above) or other payment date for the Earnout Payments.
1.3    Adjustment of Purchase Price.
(a)    No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer a good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital of the Company (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”) together with any related materials reasonably requested by Buyer, determined as of 11:59pm Mountain Daylight Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. “Closing Working Capital” shall be calculated in the manner set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) attached hereto and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, shall be determined as of 11:59pm Mountain Daylight Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and shall be defined as “Current Assets” (which means: cash, trade receivables; inventories (adjusted for current and future obsolescence in accordance with GAAP); inventory deposits; and prepaid expenses) less “Current Liabilities” (which means: the amount owed under the Working Capital Line of Credit (provided that such amount owed on the Working Capital Line of Credit shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), and to extent that it does, then any amount over Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) shall be included as Company Closing Indebtedness and be set forth on Schedule 1.2(f)); amounts owed under the ReadyActive Note and Supply Chain Note (provided that such amounts owed on the ReadyActive Note and Supply Chain Note, taken together, shall not exceed Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($850,000), and to extent that such amounts exceed Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($850,000), then such amounts over Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($850,000) shall be included as Company Closing Indebtedness and be set forth on Schedule 1.2(f)); accounts payable (including credit-card payable and sales tax payable); accrued provisions for product returns and warranty claims; accrued provisions for open purchase commitments; and accrued expenses). Additionally, any obligation of the Company to make any Transaction Bonus Payments listed on Schedule 1.8 shall not be included as Current Liabilities for purposes of determining Closing Working Capital; nor shall Buyer’s assumption of the obligation to pay the Transaction Bonus Payments, the Company Expenses, the Change of Control Payments or the repayment of the Company Closing Indebtedness be deemed Current Assets for purposes of determining Closing Working Capital. “Estimated Closing Working Capital Shortfall” means the amount, if any, by which Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than [***] (the “Target Net Working Capital”). An example of the calculation of Closing Working Capital as of March 31, 2016 is set forth on Schedule 1.3(a). Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP (except with respect to year-end adjustments) and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, the Company’s historic accounting practices used in the preparation of the December 31, 2015 balance sheet included in the Financial Statements; provided, that (i) no purchase accounting adjustments in respect

4


of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made, and (ii) its calculation of Closing Working Capital shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Schedule 1.3(a). The costs, fees and expenses of the preparation of Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital shall be paid by Buyer.
(b)    The Sellers’ Representative shall have forty-five (45) days to review the Closing Balance Sheet after delivery by Buyer and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital following their delivery to the Sellers’ Representative, and Buyer and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative and provide any other information used in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative, along with reasonably requested applicable accounting and other financial records and data. Following such review, if the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculations of Closing Working Capital, the Sellers’ Representative will deliver to Buyer written notice of its disagreement including a reasonably thorough description of the basis for such disagreement (a “Notice of Working Capital Disagreement”) on or before the end of the 45-day period. In the event such Notice of Working Capital Disagreement is not delivered to Buyer within such 45-day period, the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) and the Sellers will be deemed to have agreed with the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Working Capital as provided by Buyer. The Sellers’ Representative shall keep confidential any information provided by the Company under this Section 1.3(b) pursuant to the terms of Section 6.11.
(c)    During the fifteen (15) business-day period following delivery of any Notice of Working Capital Disagreement, the Parties in good faith shall seek to resolve any such disagreement. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer within such fifteen (15) business-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of all disagreements, the Closing Balance Sheet and the amounts of Closing Working Capital, the amount so determined shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder.
(d)    If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all disagreements set forth in such Notice of Working Capital Disagreement within such fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may mutually agree in writing), all matters in the Notice of Working Capital Disagreement that remain in dispute shall be submitted to and resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm that is independent of Buyer and the Company and agreed upon by each of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (or failing such agreement within ten (10) Business Days, then a selection agreed to by the auditor of Buyer and the most recent auditor of the Company within ten (10) Business Days after notice to each such auditor) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to select one of its partners experienced in purchase price adjustment disputes to make a final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital. Each of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall provide copies to the other of any materials provided to the Independent Accounting Firm and shall not have any discussions with the Independent Accounting Firm without the other present. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall further instruct the Independent Accounting Firm that, in resolving the items in the Notice of Working Capital Disagreement that are still in dispute and in determining the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital, the Independent Accounting Firm shall (i) not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, or (B) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, (ii) make its determination based on an independent review (which will be in accordance with Schedule 1.3(a) and the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement) and at a conference concerning the dispute, at which conference each of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to present their respective positions with respect to the dispute and have present their respective advisors,

5


counsel and accountants, (iii) render a final resolution in writing to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (which final resolution shall be requested by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative to be delivered not more than sixty (60) days following submission of such disputed matters), which shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital, and (iv) provide a written report to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, if requested by either of them, which sets forth in reasonable detail the basis for the Independent Accounting Firm’s final determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers based upon their applicable Pro Rata Percentages), on the other hand, based upon the percentage by which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative bears to the amount actually contested by such Party (for example, if a total of $1,000 is in dispute and a total of $600 is awarded to the Sellers, then Buyer pays 60% of the Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and the Sellers’ Representative pays 40%).
(e)    If the amount of (i) Closing Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 (the “Final Closing Working Capital”) is less than (ii) Estimated Closing Working Capital (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3(a)) (such amount, the “Working Capital Shortfall”), the Sellers (or the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers based on each Seller’s applicable Pro Rata Percentage) shall pay the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall to Buyer (or its designee). Payment of the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall shall be due five (5) Business Days after the first to occur of (A) notification from the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer that the Sellers’ Representative has waived the 45-day period as provided in Section 1.3(b) and agrees with Buyer’s Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of the Closing Working Capital, (B) the end of the 45-day period as provided in Section 1.3(b), if the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver such a waiver or a Notice of Working Capital Disagreement prior to the end of such period, or (C) final resolution of the Closing Balance Sheet and the amount of Closing Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.3(c) or Section 1.3(d). Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to such accounts as may be designated in writing by Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover any portion of the Working Capital Shortfall through any combination of the following: (A) in accordance with Section 1.7(e), Buyer, in its sole discretion, is entitled to offset on a dollar-for-dollar basis from any Earnout Payment otherwise payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.7 any amounts owed to Buyer (or any applicable Affiliate of Buyer) by the Sellers under this Section 1.3(e) and (B) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to withdraw any portion of the Working Capital Shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Amount, and in such event Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent in accordance herewith.
(f)    The Parties understand and agree that all cash in the Company may be distributed or disbursed to the Sellers, in accordance with the Company LLC Agreement, on or prior to the Closing Date and that to the extent any cash remains in the Company at Closing it shall be included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.
1.4    Escrow.
(a)    At the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of the Sellers, will pay the Indemnity Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an escrow account at Bank of America, National Association, or any other escrow agent agreed to by Buyer and the Company (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement agreed to by Buyer and the Company that contains substantially similar material terms as the escrow agreement attached as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”). Subject to Section 1.4(b), the Indemnity Escrow Amount plus all earnings thereon (the “Indemnity Escrow Funds”) will be available to satisfy any indemnification obligations of Sellers under this Agreement occurring within one (1) year of

6


the Closing Date, and the remaining balance thereof shall be released and distributed to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date.
(b)    If Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party (acting in good faith) has submitted to Sellers’ Representative a notice for indemnification under Article 9 of this Agreement on or prior to the release date to Sellers of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, then Buyer’s right to recourse against the Indemnity Escrow Funds shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved, at which time the remaining balance thereof shall be released and distributed to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers). Any amount due to a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Article 9 hereof shall, at Buyer’s option, be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnity Escrow Funds to the extent of funds available thereunder and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 1.4 shall limit or expand the rights of any Buyer Indemnified Party under Article 9 hereof. With respect to matters relating to disbursements from the Indemnity Escrow Funds, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative each agree to execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.5    Tax Treatment of Transaction; Allocation of Purchase Price.
(a)    The Parties acknowledge that for United States federal and state income Tax purposes: the Purchase will be treated under Revenue Ruling 99-6 as if (i) each of the Sellers had sold all their Purchased Units to Buyer; (ii) Buyer had purchased all of the assets of the Company; and (iii) the Company’s classification as a partnership terminated as of the end of the Closing Date.        
(b)    To the extent relevant to the preparation of Tax Returns of Buyer, the Company, and/or the Sellers, including, without limitation, for purposes of (i) adjusting the Tax basis of the Company’s assets after the Closing Date, and (ii) computing the amount of gain, if any, described in Code Section 751 with respect to the Sellers’ sale of the Purchased Units, the Purchase Price (as adjusted hereunder) and any Company liabilities and other amounts deemed to be paid for the Company’s assets shall be allocated among the assets of the Company based upon their relative fair market values and the Earnout Payments shall be allocated entirely to the Company’s goodwill. Such fair market values shall be determined by the parties and the parties shall endeavor to agree on such values but shall be under no obligation to reach any such agreement. While given in connection with the Purchase, no portion of the Purchase Price is allocable to the Non-Competition Agreements or the Employment Agreements.
1.6    Withholding.
Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct, and withhold, from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of Purchase Price and Earnout Payments and releases of the Indemnity Escrow Funds) such amounts as Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall reasonably determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Tax Law, provided that all amounts deducted and withheld are paid to appropriate Governmental Authorities. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof), such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.
1.7    Earnout Payments.
As additional, partial consideration for the Purchased Units, and subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 1.7, Buyer shall pay the Sellers contingent, additional earnout amounts (the “Earnout”), if any, of up to an aggregate amount of Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) (all such amounts, the “Earnout Payments”) based upon the Net Revenue (as hereinafter defined) of the Jaybird Product Category (as hereinafter defined) for each period set forth in this Section 1.7, subject to the provisions of this section below. The Earnout Payments shall be determined as follows:
(a)    Earnout Period One. If Net Revenue totals between [***] and [***] or more for the period beginning July 2, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017 (which is intended to be the start of Logitech International, S.A.’s second quarter of fiscal year 2017 through the end of its first quarter of fiscal year 2018) (“Earnout Period One”), then, subject to reduction under Section 1.7(e), Buyer will deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers based on the applicable Pro Rata Percentage for each such Seller) such portion of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in additional consideration that is equal to the proportion of which actual Net Revenue is between such [***] and [***] range, on a straight-line basis (such additional amount, before reduction under Section 1.7(e), the “2017 Earnout Amount”). If Net Revenue is equal to or less than [***] for Earnout Period One, then Buyer will pay no Earnout Payment with respect to such period. As examples, if Net Revenue is [***], then there will be no additional payment; if Net Revenue is [***] or more, then all $25,000,000 shall be the additional payment; and if Net Revenue is [***] (i.e. exactly 50% through the range of [***] to [***]), then $12,500,000 shall be the additional payment, and so forth.
(b)    Earnout Period Two. Additionally, if Net Revenue totals between [***] and [***] or more for the period beginning July 1, 2017 and ending June 29, 2018 (which is intended to be the start of Logitech International, S.A.’s second quarter of fiscal year 2018 through the end of its first quarter of fiscal year 2019) (“Earnout Period Two”), then, subject to reduction under Section 1.7(e), Buyer will deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers based on the applicable Pro Rata Percentage for each such Seller) such portion of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in additional consideration that is equal to the proportion of which actual Net Revenue is between such [***] and [***] range, on a straight-line basis (such additional amount, before reduction under Section 1.7(e), the “2018 Earnout Amount”). If Net Revenue is equal to or less than [***] for Earnout Period Two, then Buyer will pay no Earnout Payment with respect to such period. As examples, for such period, if Net Revenue is [***], then there will be no additional payment, and if Net Revenue is [***] or more, then all $20,000,000 shall be the additional payment, and if Net Revenue is [***] (i.e. exactly 50% through the range of [***] to [***]), then $10,000,000 shall be the additional payment, and so forth. In the event that (i) the Net Revenue with respect to Earnout Period One is less than [***] and the Earnout Payment with respect to such period is less than Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and (ii) the Net Revenue with respect to Earnout Period Two is greater than [***], then Buyer will deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers based on the applicable Pro Rata Percentage for each such Seller) an additional Earnout Payment equal to the product of (x) the amount by which the Net Revenue with respect to Earnout Period Two exceeds [***] multiplied by (y) [***]. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall (i) the sum of all Earnout Payments paid by Buyer with respect to Earnout Period One exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and (ii) the sum of all Earnout Payments paid by Buyer with respect to both Earnout Period One and Earnout Period Two exceed Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000); in both cases prior to any reductions pursuant to Section 1.7(e).
(c)    The Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer, as the owner of the Company and the Business (including the Jaybird Product Category) after the Closing, has the power to direct the management, strategy and business decisions of the Company and the Business (including the Jaybird Product

7


Category) after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees that Buyer and its Affiliates will make decisions relating to the management and strategy of the Company and the Business (including the Jaybird Product Category) in good faith and not with the sole or primary purpose of reducing or avoiding the Earnout Payments. The Sellers agree that they will have no claim or other rights (other than the dispute rights of the Sellers’ Representative set forth in Section 1.7(d)) related to decisions made or actions taken by Buyer and its Affiliates after the Closing made in accordance with this Section 1.7(c), even if such decisions or actions result in a reduction or elimination of the Earnout Payments. “Net Revenue” shall, for a particular period, mean all revenue of the Jaybird Product Category for such period, as a stand-alone business group, calculated in accordance with GAAP, and shall include discounts, promotions and returns as reported as part of the audited financial statements of Logitech International, S.A. “Jaybird Product Category” means all “JayBird” branded products existing as of the Closing (including any such products that Buyer rebrands after the Closing) and all products listed in the JayBird product roadmap set forth on Schedule 1.7(c).
(d)    Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative a written statement setting forth the computation of Net Revenue for each of Earnout Period One and Earnout Period Two (each, an “Earnout Statement”), on or before the later of (i) the date that is forty-five (45) days after the end of such Earnout period and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the date following the end of such Earnout period on which Logitech International, S.A. files a quarterly report pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the first quarter of its fiscal year. The Net Revenue set forth in such Earnout Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties thirty (30) days following receipt by the Sellers’ Representative unless the Sellers’ Representative gives written notice of disagreement to Buyer prior to the end of such thirty (30)-day period. Any such notice of disagreement must contain a statement of the basis for Sellers’ disagreement. Any portion of the Earnout which is undisputed must be paid by the seventy-fifth (75th) day following the end of the applicable Earnout period (or thirty (30) days following final resolution of the Earnout amount if later). With respect to any disputed Earnout portion, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative each agree to attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to the disputed amounts. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall have failed to resolve such disputed amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of disagreement (or such longer period as the Parties mutually agree to in writing), then such dispute may at any time thereafter be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm by either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative for resolution in a manner substantially similar to the procedures set forth in Section 1.3(d) (and the other reasonably applicable provisions of Section 1.3) above.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer, in its sole discretion, is entitled to offset on a dollar-for-dollar basis from any Earnout Payment otherwise payable by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.7 (i) amounts that are or reasonably may be owed to Buyer (or any applicable Affiliate of Buyer) by the Sellers under Section 1.3(f) and (ii) amounts that are or reasonably may be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party by the Sellers in their capacity as the Indemnifying Parties under Article 9.
(f)    The Parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the right of the Sellers to any portion of any Earnout Payment, if any, shall not be represented by a certificate or any negotiable or other instrument, shall not represent an ownership interest in the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or their respective businesses or assets (including, from and after the Closing, the assets of the Business) and shall not entitle the Sellers to any rights common to any holder of any equity security of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 1.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create a fiduciary duty on the part of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to any Seller in respect of any Earnout Payment. The Parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the right of any Seller to any portion of any Earnout Payment, if any, shall not be transferrable or assignable without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably

8


withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any attempted transfer or assignment of such rights by any Seller (other than as permitted by the provisions of this Section 1.7(f)) shall be null and void; and provided, further, that any such assignment shall be subject to the restrictions set forth below:
(i)    such assignment shall not take effect unless and until the proposed assignor shall have delivered a reasonably detailed notice to Buyer setting forth the terms of such proposed assignment not less than (i) in the case of a proposed assignment by Sellers for estate or tax planning purposes, twenty (20) days, or (ii) in the case of all other proposed assignments, thirty (30) days, prior to the proposed effective date thereof;
(ii)    such assignment shall not be for the purpose of avoiding any provisions of this Agreement;
(iii)    such assignment shall not entitle such permitted assignee to any rights under this Agreement other than the particular economic rights explicitly assigned to such assignee in writing (with such written assignment instrument reviewed and approved in writing by Buyer in advance), and the assignment of such economic rights shall automatically and permanently eliminate any claim or entitlement of such assignor with respect to such economic rights; and
(iv)    prior to the effectiveness of such proposed assignment, the proposed assignor shall deliver to Buyer an executed agreement giving effect to such assignment and to indemnify Buyer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, with respect to any Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party arising from, relating to or with respect to such assignment, including any claims or assertions by any other Person that such Person is entitled to any such amounts or payments.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Earnout Payment, each Seller hereby agrees that (i) the amount of any applicable Stifel Fee shall reduce the aggregate amount of any Earnout Payment otherwise payable by the Sellers’ Representative to the Sellers under this Agreement and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative is entitled to pay any applicable Stifel Fee out of the amount of any Earnout Payment prior to the Sellers’ Representative effecting payments to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages of such reduced amount.

judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law or which would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such administrative or judicial action or proceeding so as to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as expeditiously as possible; provided, however, that nothing herein requires the Company or Buyer to defend any such administrative or judicial action or proceeding through litigation in federal court, administrative litigation, or other judicial proceeding; provided, further, however, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, in Buyer’s sole discretion to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect, with the prior written consent of the Sellers Representative, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any remedies, including the divestiture of such assets of Buyer and/or the Company, as may resolve such objections or administrative or judicial action or proceedings.

The Company will keep Buyer informed on a reasonably current basis (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) of the status and details of any material modifications to any such proposal, offer or request.
6.6    Employee Matters.
For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Buyer providing benefits to any employee of the Company as of the Closing Date (“Company Employees”) after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company before the Closing Date, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any similar Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided, that no service shall be credited with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan (except as may be required with respect to any multiemployer plan) or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any required consent of the applicable plan provider, (a) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent such eligibility is permitted in the New Plans and comparable to a Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the consummation of the Purchase (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (b) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Old Plans in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (c) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with New Plan, but only to the extent such amounts were taken into account for each such purpose under the Old Plans. The provisions in this Section 6.6 are intended for the sole benefit of the Company and Buyer and, where the context so indicates, their respective Affiliates, and shall not inure to the benefit of any other entity or person (other than permitted assigns of the Parties hereto) either as a Third Party beneficiary or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall (i) change the status of any at-will employee or prevent the Company or Buyer from terminating the employment of any employee at any time (with or without cause) or otherwise taking any action it deems necessary with respect to the employees of the Company or (ii) be construed to prohibit Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any Benefit Plan.
6.7    Termination of Benefit Plans.
The Company will adopt, or will cause to be adopted, all necessary resolutions (which shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable review and approval) to terminate each equity incentive plan (including, without limitation, the Equity Incentive Plan) and all then-outstanding awards thereunder other than the Purchased Units (all of which will be sold to Buyer upon the Closing), effective as of the Closing. The Company shall provide Buyer with a copy of resolutions duly adopted by the Company’s board of managers so terminating any such equity incentive plan and all such outstanding awards.

6.9    Tax Matters.
(a)    Indemnification for Tax Matters. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4, where applicable, and incorporated herein by reference, the Sellers will severally, based on their respective applicable Pro Rata Percentages, and not jointly and severally, pay, and indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and any other Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all of the following Taxes and other Tax-related Losses (in each case, whether imposed, assessed, due or otherwise payable directly, as a successor or transferee, jointly and/or severally pursuant to a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, as a result of an assessment or adjustment by any Taxing Authority or for any other reason and whether disputed or not):
(i)    Taxes of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or that portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (other than Transfer Taxes (which are governed by (iv));
(ii)    Taxes for which the Company is liable as a result of their inclusion in (or their leaving) a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group during a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including under Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6 (or analogous state, local or foreign Tax law));
(iii)    Taxes of the Company resulting from (x) a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.12 (Taxes) or, to the extent relating to Taxes, Section 3.14 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA), or (y) a breach of a covenant or other agreement of any Seller or Sellers’ Representative (or, prior to Closing, the Company) contained in this Agreement;
(iv)    Transfer Taxes allocable to the Sellers as determined under Section 6.9(f); and
(v)    Taxes imposed as a result of any loss, reduction, disallowance, or unavailability (in whole or in part) of any refund or Tax benefit (whether as cash or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) that was included in the computation of Closing Working Capital.
The items set forth in clauses (i) – (v), each an “Indemnified Tax” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Taxes”.
Notwithstanding the foregoing “Indemnified Taxes” for which the Sellers are liable shall not include any of the following: (A) Taxes to the extent included as current liabilities in the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined, or to the extent specifically identified as a Tax liability and included in the calculation of Company Closing Indebtedness, (B) to the extent attributable to or arising as a result of transactions that are (x) not contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) made by the Company outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date, but following the Closing, (C) Taxes resulting from any election by Buyer or the Company to cause the Company to be classified as a corporation for federal income Tax purposes, (D) Taxes arising from Buyer’s breach of its covenants under Section 6.9, or (E) Taxes resulting from any Tax attribute of the Company arising prior to the Closing Date not being available in taxable periods ending after the Closing Date to Buyer or the Company.
(b)    Allocation of Tax Items. For purposes of allocating Taxes under this Agreement, the Parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat for all purposes the end of the Closing Date as the end of the last day of a taxable period of the Company. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Company, then for purposes of this Agreement, the portion of such Taxes that is attributable to such Interim Period (as

29


defined below) shall be (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the total amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Interim Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the entire Straddle Period in question, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including those that are based on income gross receipts, employment, or sales and uses), the Taxes that would be due with respect to the Interim Period, if such Interim Period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided that, exemptions, allowances and deductions that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis shall be apportioned with respect to the Straddle Period based on the mechanics set forth in clause (i) for periodic Taxes. “Interim Period” means, with respect to any Taxes imposed on the Company on a periodic basis for which the Closing Date is not the last day of a taxable period, the period of time beginning on the first day of the Straddle Period and ending on and including the Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt, unless prohibited by applicable Law, any deduction from taxable income of the Company resulting from payment of the Transaction Bonus Payments at the Closing under Section 1.8 and from the exercise or cancellation of the Best Buy Warrant shall be allocated to the taxable period or Interim Period ending on the Closing Date.
(c)    Tax Returns.
(i)    After the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared any income Tax Returns for the Company (including franchise and gross-receipts Tax Returns) that are required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent such Tax Returns are required to be filed by the Company, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide such Tax Returns to the Company at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due. The Sellers shall be responsible, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, for any Taxes due and payable with respect to such Tax Returns other than any such Taxes included as Current Liabilities in the calculation of Final Closing Working Capital.
(ii)    After the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause the Company to file on a timely basis all other Tax Returns for the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (and for any Straddle Period) that are first due after the Closing Date (collectively “Buyer Prepared Returns”). All such Buyer Prepared Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past Tax accounting practices, Tax-related elections and Tax Returns of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer shall provide to the Sellers’ Representative copies of all such Buyer Prepared Returns (and the associated work papers) that show an Indemnified Tax in excess of $20,000, for review by the Sellers’ Representative within such time period that is reasonable under the circumstances, and shall make such changes to those Buyer Prepared Returns before filing as are reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative; provided that such provision or review shall not, in Buyer’s sole discretion, have an adverse effect on Buyer’s Tax liability or ability to file in a timely manner any Buyer Prepared Returns. Unless required by applicable Law, Buyer shall not cause or allow the Company to file any amended Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods with respect to the Company without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). No failure or delay of the Buyer in delivering Buyer Prepared Returns to Sellers’ Representative to review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)    Audits.
(i)    Whenever any Taxing authority initiates an audit, asserts a claim, makes an assessment or otherwise disputes the amount of any Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion

30


of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) which, if successful, would result in an Indemnified Tax (a “Tax Contest”), the Company shall give prompt notice to Sellers’ Representative of such Tax Contest. No failure or delay of Buyer in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent the Sellers are actually prejudiced by such failure or delay.
(ii)    Buyer (or the Company) shall control any audit or other proceeding in respect of the Tax Contest; provided, however, that (a) the Sellers’ Representative, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such audit or other proceeding in respect of the Tax Contest to the extent it relates to an Indemnified Tax and (b) Buyer shall not allow the Company to settle or otherwise resolve such audit or other proceeding in respect of the Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates to an Indemnified Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, shall control any Tax Contest with respect to the Income Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that (a) Buyer (and the Company), at Buyer’s (or the Company’s) sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such audit or other proceeding controlled by the Sellers’ Representative and (b) the Sellers’ Representative shall not settle or otherwise resolve such audit or other proceeding if such settlement or other resolution could result in any Taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes without the prior written consent of Buyer (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).
(iv)    In the event of any conflict between Section 9.2 and this Section 6.9(d), this Section 6.9(d) shall control.
(e)    Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.9 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include (i) providing certificates or forms, and timely executing any Tax Returns, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any withholding Tax or Transfer Tax, and (ii) the retention and, upon any other Party’s request, the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and the Company agree to retain information with respect to non-income Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods until the earlier of expiration of the applicable statute(s) of limitation or six (6) years after the Closing.
(f)    Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Sellers severally, in proportion to their respective applicable Pro Rata Percentages, and remitted by Buyer (or Sellers, as required by applicable Law) when due. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will jointly file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and will, and as applicable will cause their

31


Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation as required by applicable Law.
(g)    Tax Attributes. For avoidance of doubt, no Seller shall have any indemnity obligation or liability to Buyer or the Company under this Agreement as a result of any Tax attribute of the Company arising prior to the Closing Date not being available in taxable periods after the Closing Date to Buyer or the Company.
(r)    Taxes on Company Asset/Liability Transfers by Buyer and its Affiliates. Any provision in this Section 6.9 to the contrary notwithstanding, transfers of Company assets or liabilities between the Company (as an affiliate of Buyer), Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates simultaneous with or following Closing on the Closing Date outside the ordinary course of business are not transactions “contemplated by this Agreement” and no Taxes resulting from such asset or liability transfers shall be allocated to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or borne by Sellers, provided that the information provided pursuant to Section 2.2(m) is true and correct at Closing.
(h)    Resale Certificates. The Company shall provide to Buyer copies of any resale exemption certificates obtained prior to Closing based on its use of the general sale-for-resale exemption, including use of that exemption prior to the date of this Agreement.
6.10    Release of Liability.
(a)    Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, for and on behalf of himself, herself or itself and his, her or its family members, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, managers, subsidiaries, stockholders, members, partners, Affiliates, successors, assigns, representatives, agents, estate, heirs, executors and administrators (each, including each Seller, a “Releasor”), hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and forever releases, acquits and discharges Buyer, the Company and their respective subsidiaries, officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, partners, managers, members, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, and each of their respective Affiliates other than the Releasor (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”), from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, contracts, debts, sums of money, commissions, damages and rights whatsoever at law or in equity, now existing or which may hereafter accrue (each, a “Claim”) in favor of such Releasor against any of the Company Released Parties relating to, arising out of or in connection with any facts or circumstances relating to the Company which existed on or prior to the Closing, whether known or unknown to such Releasor, whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable, and including, but not limited to, those based upon, arising out of or in connection with (i) the Releasor’s ownership of Purchased Units or other securities of the Company, (ii) the fairness and sufficiency of the consideration set forth in this Agreement for the sale of the Releasor’s Purchased Units to Buyer, and (iii) the issuance by the Company of any debt or equity securities, convertible or otherwise, or options, warrants or rights to purchase such securities, to the Releasor and the termination or cancellation thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply to (i) any Claim under this Agreement or any other agreement entered into with Buyer or the Company (and approved in writing by Buyer) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except any Claim by such Seller relating to the adequacy of the consideration received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement for the purchase of the Purchased Units owned by such Seller, which Claim such Seller hereby releases and discharges as provided above), (ii) any Claim by a Seller who is also (A) an employee of the Company for accrued but unpaid wages or other accrued but unpaid employee benefits payable in the ordinary course of business and arising from such Sellers’ employment with the Company or (B) a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of the Company with respect to any indemnity and exculpation rights relating to service as such and in accordance with Section 6.8, or (iii) with respect to Best

ARTICLE 9.    
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1    Indemnification by the Sellers.
(t)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 9 and Section 6.9, the Sellers (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall severally, based on their respective applicable Pro Rata Percentages in effect at such time as indicated on Schedule 1.1, and not jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company (following the Closing) and their respective members, stockholders, officers, managers, directors, employees, Affiliates, equityholders, successors and permitted assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, liabilities, Taxes, damages, costs, claims, judgments and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether involving a Third-Party Claim or a claim solely between the parties (each, a “Loss” and collectively, the “Losses”), arising out of or resulting from:
(i)    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document required to be delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the determination of the amount of Losses arising out of, related to or resulting from the failure of any such representation, warranty or certification to be true and correct, in each case, will be made as if “material,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms were not included therein;
(ii)    any breach or nonperformance prior to the Closing Date of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document required to be delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement;
(iii)    any Indemnified Tax;
(iv)    any Company Expenses, Change of Control Payments, Transaction Bonus Payments and/or Company Closing Indebtedness other than any such items that are taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Date Payment or the Final Closing Working Capital;

37


(v)    any Equityholder Claim;
(vi)    any matter identified on Schedule 9.1(a)(vi); and
(vii)    fraud by the Company.
(u)    Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, each Seller shall severally, and not jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of:
(iv)    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or certification made by such Seller (and only by such Seller) in Article 4 or in any certificate or other document required to be delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement (only to the extent such certificate or other document relates to any representation, warranty or certification of such Seller); and
(v)    any breach or nonperformance of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by such Seller (and only by such Seller) in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document required to be delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement (only to the extent such certificate or other document relates to any covenant, agreement or undertaking of such Seller).
The Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties described in this Section 9.1 as to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Buyer Losses”. No Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights under this ‎Article 9 will be adversely affected by any investigation conducted, or any knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired, by such Buyer Indemnified Party at any time, whether before or after the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, or by the waiver of any condition to Closing. No Buyer Indemnified Party will be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Person to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnifying Party will have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Buyer or the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Indemnifying Party may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.
9.2    Indemnification Procedure.
(a)    Promptly after receipt by any Buyer Indemnified Party of written notice from a Third Party of a threatened in writing or filed complaint, or the threatened or actual commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which such Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall provide written notification to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) within ten (10) Business Days after such Buyer Indemnified Party has received written notice of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Sellers’ Representative shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim except to the extent that such failure to notify the Sellers’ Representative materially prejudices the Indemnifying Parties with respect to such claim. The Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Buyer Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the engagement of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided that (A) any such assumption of a claim by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties shall conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that such Third-Party Claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification under Article 9 and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have no such right to assume the defense of any Third-Party

38


Claim that (i) involves non-monetary relief including any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Buyer Indemnified Party, (ii) asserts a criminal violation against the Buyer Indemnified Party or is a civil or administrative proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority or relates to such a proceeding, (iii) seeks an amount of Losses in cash in excess of the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Funds available at such time, (iv) seeks any intellectual property license, Encumbrance or royalties or alleges infringement by the Company of such third party’s intellectual property, (v) relates to Tax matters, and/or (vi) relates to the present or future material business operations of Buyer, the Business or the Jaybird Product Category. If the Indemnifying Parties decline or fail to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim within such thirty (30) day period, however, the Buyer Indemnified Party may engage counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third-Party Claim and, if such Third-Party Claim is a matter with respect to which the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to receive payment from the Indemnifying Parties for the Loss in question, the Indemnifying Parties will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Parties will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Buyer Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties have assumed the defense of such claim and the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based upon the written opinion of independent outside counsel, that the Indemnifying Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Party have actual conflicting interests with respect to such Third-Party Claim, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Buyer Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties to the extent constituting indemnifiable Losses under this Article 9. In any Third-Party Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.
(b)    No Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party unless such settlement or compromise (x) completely, finally and unconditionally releases the Buyer Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and would not otherwise adversely affect the Buyer Indemnified Party in any material respect, (y) results in no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the Buyer Indemnified Party or any violation of the rights of any Person and would not have any adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Buyer Indemnified Party and (z) solely involves the payment of money which the Indemnifying Parties shall fund in full. In the event the Indemnifying Parties have not assumed the defense of the Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Buyer Indemnified Party may settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim in its discretion.
(c)    If a Buyer Indemnified Party claims a right to an indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 9, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Party and shall provide a copy of such notice to the Escrow Agent. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the estimated amount of Losses arising from the claim. From and after receipt of such claim notice, the Sellers’ Representative shall have a period of thirty (30) days to deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party a response, in which the Seller’s Representative shall (i) agree that the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or any portion of the requested Losses (in which case the response shall be accompanied by written notice to the Escrow Agent executed by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers and by Buyer, instructing the Escrow Agent to release any relevant amount of the Indemnity Escrow Funds to Buyer in accordance with the terms of

39


such memorandum) or (ii) dispute that the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or some portion of the requested Losses. If no such response is received by Buyer from Sellers’ Representative within such thirty (30)-day period, then the amount of Losses claimed by Buyer as set forth in its notice shall be deemed established for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and, at the end of such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative agree that the Escrow Agent shall pay to Buyer or its designee the amount claimed in the Buyer’s notice from the Escrow Fund or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party disputes any claim or claims made in the claim notice, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes only a portion of the amount of the claim or claims made in the claim notice, the amount of Losses claimed by Buyer with respect to the undisputed portion of such claim or claims as set forth in its notice shall be deemed established for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative agree that the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay to Buyer or its designee such undisputed amount claimed in the Buyer’s notice from the Escrow Fund or otherwise. If, after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such final agreement shall be prepared and signed by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative and such memorandum shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum for the release of any of the Indemnity Escrow Funds to Buyer in accordance with the terms of such memorandum. If no agreement can be reached after good-faith negotiation between the parties, either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may initiate formal legal action with the applicable court in accordance with Section 10.16 to resolve such dispute. The decision of the court as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement, and the Parties (and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent) shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision.
9.3    Claims Period.
The Claims Period hereunder shall begin on the date hereof and terminate as follows:
(a)    with respect to Buyer Losses arising under (i) Section 9.1(a)(i) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization; Power), Section 3.2 (Capitalization), Section 3.3 (No Subsidiaries), Section 3.4 (Authority Relative to this Agreement), Section 3.12 (Taxes) and Section 3.17 (Brokers and Finders) or as set forth under Section 9.1(b)(i) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in Section 4.1 (Authority Relative to this Agreement), Section 4.4 (Purchased Units) or Section 4.5 (Brokers and Finders) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations; (ii) Section 9.1(a)(i) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.15 (Intellectual Property Rights) (the “IP Representations”), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date; and (iii) Sections 9.1(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) and Section 9.1(b)(ii), the Claims Period shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations; and
(b)    with respect to Buyer Losses arising under Sections 9.1(a)(i) and 9.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to Buyer Losses arising with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any of the Fundamental Representations, IP Representations or for fraud), the Claims Period shall terminate as of the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date.

40


No claim for indemnification can be made after the expiration of the applicable Claims Period; provided, however, if prior to the close of business on the last day of the Claims Period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.
9.4    Liability Limits.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to the remainder of this Article 9, the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless shall be limited as follows:
(a)    except in the case of fraud and except in the case of any claim in respect of a Fundamental Representation or IP Representation, no indemnity shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) unless and until the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have suffered Buyer Losses in excess of [***] in the aggregate (the “Threshold Amount”), and in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover the full amount of such Threshold Amount of Buyer Losses;
(b)    in no event shall (i) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) (except in the case of fraud and with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of Fundamental Representations or IP Representations pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i)) exceed the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Funds (the “Cap”), (ii) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) (except in the case of fraud) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the IP Representations exceed [***] and (iii) the maximum aggregate amount for which Sellers will be liable under this Agreement (except in the case of fraud) with respect to all matters exceed the amount of the Purchase Price (including the Indemnity Escrow Amount), or with respect to any particular Seller’s breach or inaccuracy, such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Purchase Price (including such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Indemnity Escrow Amount) (such amounts, as applicable, the “Indemnification Cap”); provided that claims for fraud shall not be limited in any way, except that in the case of any claim of fraud of any Seller, the Buyer Indemnified Party may seek uncapped recovery against such Seller only, and in the case of fraud by the Company, the Buyer Indemnified Party may seek recovery only against all Sellers other than Best Buy in accordance with each such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage adjusted to redistribute the Pro Rata Percentage of Best Buy among the other Sellers (such that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to recover the full amount of any such claim from the Sellers other than Best Buy);
(c)    (i) the liability of each Seller with respect to Buyer Losses arising under Section 9.1(a) shall be several, and not joint, based on such Seller’s relative Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) no Seller shall have any liability for Buyer Losses arising under Section 9.1(b) except to the extent such Seller has made the representation, warranty or certification in Article 4 or any applicable certificate or made the covenant, agreement or undertaking in this Agreement or any applicable certificate, under which such Buyer Losses arise, and in the event that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a particular Seller is breached in Article 4 or the applicable certificate, only the breaching Seller shall be liable to Buyer for Losses resulting from such breach;
(d)    notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions in Section 9.4(c), any indemnification obligation of a Seller under this Agreement shall be satisfied by each Seller in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of Buyer Losses;
(e)    for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of indemnifiable claims against any Indemnifying Party, the amount of each claim for Losses by a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be an amount equal to, and any payments by the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to, the amount of such Losses that remain after deducting therefrom any Third Party insurance proceeds actually recovered from any Third Party with respect thereto and any indemnity, contributions or other similar payment actually recovered from any Third Party with respect thereto;
(f)    the amount of indemnity payable pursuant to Section 9.1 with respect to any Buyer Loss shall be reduced to the extent such Buyer Loss is included as a specifically identified Current Liability in the final statement of Closing Working Capital;
(g)    except in the case of fraud, no Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify any Person for punitive, special or exemplary damages, except to the extent actually paid in connection with a Third-Party Claim;
(h)    any Buyer Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article 9 shall act in a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate such Loss in accordance with applicable Law;
(i)    in any case where a Buyer Indemnified Party recovers from any Third Party any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which the Sellers have previously indemnified a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) the amount so recovered (net of any deductibles, costs of recovery and increase in premium payments); and
(j)    any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.
9.5    Right of Offset.
In accordance with Section 1.7(e), Buyer, in its sole discretion, is entitled to offset on a dollar-for-dollar basis from any Earnout Payment otherwise payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.7 any amounts owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party by the Sellers in their capacity as the Indemnifying Parties under Article 9.
9.6    Exclusive Remedies.
Following the Closing, and other than claims for fraud, the provisions of Section 6.9, Article 9 and Article 10 (including Section 10.15 thereof) hereof set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of the Parties to seek or obtain damages or any other remedy or relief whatsoever from any Party with respect to matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.6 shall not (i) operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 1.3 and Section 1.7 providing for the resolution of certain disputes by the Independent Accounting Firm, (ii) limit the rights of Buyer (or any applicable Affiliate of Buyer) or any Buyer Indemnified Party to offset Earnout Payments under Section 1.7(e), Section 1.3(f) and Section 9.5, (iii) limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or (iv) limit any remedies or recourse with respect to any claims for fraud. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law, except as otherwise provided herein.

10.13    Appointment of Sellers’ Representative.
(a)    Each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably appoints the Person designated from time to time as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act as its representative (the “Sellers’ Representative”) under this Agreement and, as such, to act as such Seller’s agent (with full power of substitution) to take any action on such Seller’s behalf with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.13(d) below. Judd Armstrong is hereby appointed and hereby accepts appointment as the initial Sellers’ Representative (the “Initial Representative”).

The Initial Representative accepts its appointment and authorization to act as attorney-in-fact and agent of the Sellers.
(b)    The Initial Representative will serve as the Sellers’ Representative until the earlier of its resignation or removal (with or without cause) by Sellers holding a majority of the Purchased Units (directly or indirectly) as of the date hereof (a “Majority of the Sellers”). Upon the resignation or removal of the Initial Representative, a Majority of the Sellers will select a new Sellers’ Representative who may resign or be removed or replaced (with or without cause) by a Majority of the Sellers.
