(D) The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be borne by the Equityholders, on the one hand, and by Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of Objection Items so submitted to the Accounting Firm that is successfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such Objection Items so submitted by such party.

(e) No Duplication. For the removal of doubt, if any item is included in any calculation in this Section 1.4, such item shall not be included in any other calculation if such inclusion would result in a duplication or double-counting of such item.

(b) Shareholder Representative Services LLC hereby accepts its appointment as the initial Representative.
(c) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Representative shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Equityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Equityholder; and Buyer, Parent, each Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action,
11
Table of Contents
failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Equityholder.

(d) The Shareholders hereby agree that:
(i) no Shareholder shall have any cause of action against the Representative for any action taken or not taken, any decision made or any instruction given or not given by the Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the agreements and instruments contemplated hereby and thereby, except for causes of action for fraud by the Representative or the Representatives gross negligence or willful misconduct;
(ii) remedies available at Law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 1.5 are inadequate; therefore, the Buyer and Parent shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if the Buyer or Parent brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 1.5; and
(iii) the provisions of this Section 1.5 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Buyer, Parent, the Representative, and each Shareholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Shareholder or the Shareholders shall mean and include the successors to the Shareholders rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
(e) The Shareholders, Buyer and Parent acknowledge and agree that the Representative can be removed and/or replaced (including following its resignation) upon the affirmative written consent of (i) Shareholders holding prior to Closing a majority of interest of the Ordinary Shares and (ii) Shareholders holding prior to Closing a majority of interest of the Preferred Shares. Upon the due removal and/or replacement of the Representative, Buyer or Parent and the newly appointed Representative shall provide prompt written notice to the Escrow Agent concerning such replacement. The Representative may resign at any time, upon 20 days prior written notice in the event of circumstances rendering it impracticable for the Representative to continue to effectively serve, including amendments increasing the Representatives responsibilities without its consent or failure to pay amounts due to the Representative.
(f) At the Closing, pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the Paying Agent shall cause to be deposited with the Representative $250,000 (the Representative Expense Fund), which shall be withheld from the consideration otherwise payable at Closing to each Equityholder in accordance with Section 1.2 and the Representative Fund allocation per Equityholder set forth in the Closing Payment Schedule. The Representative Expense Fund shall be used by the
12
Table of Contents
Representative for the payment of third party expenses incurred by it in performing its duties in accordance with this Section 1.5 and any other agreement entered into between the Representative and all or part of the Equityholders. The Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The amounts deposited in the Representative Expense Fund shall be available for the payment of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Representative in performing its duties under this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto; provided that any portion of the Representative Expense Fund not ultimately required for the payment of such fees and expenses shall be delivered by the Representative to the Paying Agent, following the completion of the Representatives responsibilities, for further distribution to each Equityholder in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2(h). For Tax purposes, the Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as having been distributed to and received by the Equityholders at Closing, in proportion to the amounts to be distributed to each Equityholder as set forth in the Closing Payment Schedule (i.e., on an as-if distributed in full basis).
(g) The Representative shall not be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any act done or omitted hereunder or under any agreements ancillary hereto while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith). The Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, Representative Losses) arising out of or in connection with the Representatives execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the funds in the Representative Expense Fund and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative under this Section 1.5. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.6 Escrow. At the Closing, the Representative, Buyer, Parent and the Escrow Agent shall execute the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1.2(e) of this
13
Table of Contents
Agreement, an amount in cash equal to $5,500,000 USD (the Indemnification Escrow Amount) and an amount in cash equal to $2,000,000 USD (the Special Escrow Amount and, together with the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Escrow Amount) shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to, and therefore shall not be paid to, the Equityholders at the Closing but instead shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent in two separate dedicated escrow accounts (together, the Escrow Fund) and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the provisions herein. In the event an amount is released to the Equityholders from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, each Equityholder shall be entitled to an amount calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(h).
Section 1.7 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the Closing) shall take place at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, located at 1000 Winter Street, Suite 3700, Waltham, MA, or by teleconference, facsimile or electronic mail communication, on or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII hereof (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing) or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Company. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the Closing Date. The Closing shall be deemed to occur at 12:01 p.m. Boston time on the Closing Date.
Section 1.8 Withholding Rights.
(a) Each of the Buyer, the Company, the 102 Trustee, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent (for the purpose of this Section 1.8, the Payor) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the Israel Tax Ordinance or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer, the Company, the 102 Trustee, the Escrow Agent or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and the Payor will timely provide such Person with satisfactory evidence for such remittance in accordance with applicable Law. Prior to the Closing (and if reasonably required thereafter), the parties hereto agree to provide the Payor IRS Forms W-8 or W-9, or such other forms relating to United States federal or other applicable withholding obligations as may be applicable, as the Payor may reasonably request. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any amounts are required to be so withheld from any distributions from the Escrow Fund, such amounts required to be withheld may be distributed to Buyer (or an entity designated by Buyer) to enable Buyer (or any such designated entity) to comply with its withholding obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.8(a) above, with respect to Israeli Tax, the Purchase Price payable to each of the Equityholders hereunder (excluding amounts held in the Escrow Fund under Section 1.6), shall be paid to and retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of each such Equityholder for a period of 180 days from Closing or an earlier date required in writing by an Equityholder (the Withholding Drop Date) (during which time neither Buyer nor the Paying Agent shall withhold any Israeli Tax on such consideration, except as provided below), and during which time each Equityholder may obtain
14
Table of Contents
a certification or ruling issued by the Israel Tax Authority, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer (which, for avoidance of doubt, included, Buyers opportunity to review and comment on the application to the Israel Tax Authority) (the Qualified Withholding Certificate), (x) exempting Buyer from the duty to withhold Israeli Taxes with respect to such Equityholder or (y) determining the applicable rate of Israeli Taxes to be withheld from such Equityholder. In the event that no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, an Equityholder submits a Qualified Withholding Certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, the Paying Agent shall withhold and transfer to the Israel Tax Authority such amount in cash to be withheld from such Equityholders portion of the Purchase Price due from such Equityholder as specified in such Qualified Withholding Certificate, if any, and shall deliver to such Equityholder only the balance of the Purchase Price due to such Equityholder that is not so withheld. If any Equityholder (A) does not provide the Paying Agent with a Qualified Withholding Certificate no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (B) submits a written request with the Paying Agent to release his portion of the Purchase Price prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Qualified Withholding Certificate at or before such time, then the amount in cash to be withheld from such Equityholders cash portion of the Purchase Price according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by Buyer (increased by interest plus linkage differences, as defined in Section 159A of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, for the period between the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the month following the month during which the Closing occurs and the time the relevant payment is made, and calculated in NIS based on a US$:NIS exchange rate on such date but not lower than the exchange rate at the Closing), which amount shall be delivered to the Israel Tax Authority by the Paying Agent, and (i) shall deliver to such Equityholder the balance of the Purchase Price due to such Equityholder that is not so withheld, and (ii) shall promptly furnish the Equityholder with documents evidencing such Tax withholding and remittance to the Israel Tax Authority.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the absence of a Qualified Withholding Certificate which also applies to deposits by the Buyer or the Paying Agent on account of the payment recipients portion of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Expense Fund, the applicable amount to be withheld from such payment recipients portion of any amount received at the Closing Date or retained by the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 1.8 will be calculated (as provided above) also on such payment recipients portion of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Expense Fund, as applicable, and will be deducted and delivered to the Israel Tax Authority as provided above unless the Israel Tax Authority provides different written instructions reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Paying Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any payments made to non-Israeli tax resident holders of Company Options, which holders were granted such awards in consideration for work or services performed outside of Israel for a non-Israeli subsidiary of the Company, and will provide the Paying Agent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to any payment to them, with a validly executed declaration, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent, confirming that they have never been Israeli tax residents and that they were granted such awards in consideration for work or services performed solely outside of Israel for a non-Israeli subsidiary of the Company, such payments shall not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax.

In the event that a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3 may be made under multiple subsections of Section 9.3, the Indemnified Party (as defined below) shall be entitled to bring such claim under any such subsection, with such claim being subject only to the
75
Table of Contents
time limitations associated with that subsection, it being clarified that any Damages for which an Indemnified Person is entitled to Indemnification under Section 9.3 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or otherwise.
Section 9.4 Indemnification Claims.
(a) Notice. As soon as reasonably practicable after any Indemnified Party hereto becomes aware of any claim that has resulted in or is reasonably anticipated to result in Damages that any such Indemnified Party has under this ARTICLE IX against an Indemnifying Party (which term includes all indemnifying parties if more than one, as applicable), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Party) a certificate signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party (a Claim Notice):
(i) stating that the Indemnified Party has incurred, paid or properly accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it may incur, pay or properly accrue, Damages, referencing the particular section of the Agreement (including in any schedule or exhibit or in any certificate, or instrument ancillary to this Agreement, including any Ancillary Agreements) on account of which such Damage is claimed;
(ii) stating the amount of such Damages (which, in the case of Damages not yet incurred, paid or properly accrued, may be the maximum amount in good faith anticipated to be incurred, paid or properly accrued, if ascertainable); and
(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnified Party) the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated (if ascertainable), or the basis for such anticipated liability and facts and circumstances constituting the alleged breach and the nature of the claim to which such Damages are related.
(b) Delay. No delay in or failure to give a Claim Notice by an Indemnified Party to the Representative pursuant to this Section 9.4 will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, except and to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced Indemnifying Party.
(c) Objections to Claims. The Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Party) may object to any claim set forth in such Claim Notice by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party (and, if applicable, to the Escrow Agent) of the Representatives objection (an Indemnification Objection Notice). Such Indemnification Objection Notice must describe the grounds for such objection in reasonable detail. If an Indemnification Objection Notice is not delivered by the Representative to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Representative of the Claim Notice (the Indemnification Objection Period), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Representative (or the applicable Indemnifying Party as the case may be) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for the full amount of the Damages set forth in such Claim Notice from the applicable Indemnifying Parties.

(d) Resolution of Objections to Claims. If the Representative shall object in writing during the Indemnification Objection Period to any claim or claims by an Indemnified Party made in any Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Indemnification Objection Notice to respond in a written statement to such objection. If after such thirty (30)-day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Representative and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for twenty (20) days thereafter to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Parent and the Representative agree to a resolution of such objection, and cash remains in the applicable account within the Escrow Fund, then Parent and the Representative shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Escrow Agent a statement setting forth such conclusively resolved matters and directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the applicable account of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such statement. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, each of the Representative and the Indemnified Party shall meet within ten (10) days of the expiration of such twenty (20)-day period and negotiate in good faith for one day with an impartial mediator mutually agreed to by the parties in New York City, New York. If no agreement can be reached after good faith mediation, each of the Representative and the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.11, bring suit to resolve the objection.
The Representative may agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the amount claimed under the claim Notice (the Agreed Amount), it being agreed that if cash remains in the applicable account within the Escrow Fund, the Representative and the Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and signed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Indemnified Party, out of the applicable account of the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to the Agreed Amount. Any remaining disputes in connection to amounts in excess of the Agreed Amount shall be resolved in accordance with the preceding paragraph.
(e) Delivery to Escrow Agent. If, at the time of delivery of any Claim Notice to the Representative (or of any Indemnification Objection Notice by the Representative or response thereto by Buyer or its Affiliates), cash remains in the applicable account within the Escrow Fund, a duplicate copy of such Claim Notice or Indemnification Objection Notice (or response thereto) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
Section 9.5 Third-Party Claims.
(a) In the event that an Indemnified Party desires to make a claim against an Indemnifying Party in connection with any third-party Legal Proceeding at any time instituted against or made upon it for which it may seek indemnification hereunder (a Third-Party Claim), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify in writing the Representative of such Third-Party Claim and of its claims of indemnification with respect thereto; provided, that failure or delay to promptly give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Section 9.5(a), except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby.
77
Table of Contents
(b) Except in the case of Third-Party Claims (i) in which the remedy sought in such Third-Party Claim includes an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) such Third-Party Claim arises in connection with a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding against the Indemnified Party, (iii) alleging that the operation of the Companys business or the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution, import or sale of any Customer Offering, developed by the Company prior to the Closing Date, by Buyer or its Affiliates infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights of any third party or (iv) involving the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates as a party if counsel to the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would give rise to a conflict of interest (in the case of any of which the provisions of Section 9.5(d) shall apply), the Representative will have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Representative has received notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Representative may only assume control of such defense if (x) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim shall constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and (y) the claimant seeks the recovery of a sum of money that does not exceed the then-current balance of the applicable portion of the applicable account of the Escrow Fund available for such Third Party Claim (as reduced by the amount of all other pending claims against the funds in the applicable account within the Escrow Fund and assuming the full amount of such claims were actually paid), and provided further, that (i) the assumption of the defense by the Representative shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject to indemnification hereunder; (ii) the Representative must take reasonable steps to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and, (iii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in but not to determine or conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim (it being acknowledged that the costs relating to such representation shall not be deemed to fall within the scope of Section 9.2(h)).
(c) The Representative will not consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Order or proposed settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of all liability of each Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, and (ii) involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. So long as the Representative has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms herein, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim, or pay or permit to be paid, any part of the claim for which it is seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of the Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(d) In the event the Representative (on behalf of an Indemnifying Party) does not or is not entitled to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any Order or enter in any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim (with the prior consent of the Representative, not to be
78
Table of Contents
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no such consent shall be required in connection with a settlement where the proposed settlement is in an amount less than or equal to $100,000 per Third-Party Claim or series of related Third-Party Claims with a maximum amount payable in connection with settlements made without Representatives consent not to exceed an aggregate amount of $250,000; provided further that the Indemnified Party will provide written notice to the Representative regarding each settlement of a Third-Party Claim made without the Representatives consent promptly following the execution thereof; (ii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of such Third-Party Claim to the extent provided in this Section 9.5(d), subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, as applicable; and (iii) the Representative may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in but not to determine or conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
Section 9.6 Payment of Claims.
(a) In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Equityholders pursuant to Section 9.2, subject to the limitations of Section 9.7, Buyer (and each of the Indemnified Parties) shall recover Damages (i) first, from the Escrow Fund to the extent available and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, provided that all claims under Section 9.2(i) shall be paid solely from the Special Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund and all other claims shall be paid solely from the Indemnification Escrow Amount of the Escrow Fund; (ii) second, but only in the event of a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a Listed Employee, by offsetting against such Listed Employees Retention Payments to the extent such amount is or becomes due and payable pursuant to a Retention Letter of such Listed Employee, and (iii) thereafter, directly from the Equityholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, that (x) the obligations of the Equityholders under this Section 9.6(a) shall be several and not joint and (y) the Indemnified Parties shall in no event be entitled to recover from any Equityholder an amount greater than such amounts as have actually been paid to such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement (and a Retention Letter, if applicable pursuant to item (ii) above). All such recoveries directly from the Equityholders shall be made on a Damages Pro Rata Percentage with respect to each Equityholder and all recoveries by offsetting against Retention Payments shall be made from the applicable Listed Employee. The Representative shall make the final determination as to each Equityholders Damages Pro Rata Percentage and the Equityholders shall not be entitled to make any claim against the Buyer, Parent or Company in respect of such determination.
(b) In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of an Equityholder pursuant to Section 9.3, subject to the limitations of Section 9.7, Buyer (and each of the Indemnified Parties) shall recover Damages (i) first, from the Escrow Fund up the amount of the applicable Equityholders Escrow Pro Rata Percentage of the funds remaining in the Escrow Account with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Amount and not subject to any Claim Notice as of the date of the applicable Claim, to the extent available and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, but only in the event of a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation of the applicable Equityholder that is also a Listed Employee, by offsetting against such Listed Employees Retention Payments to the extent such amount is or becomes due and payable pursuant to a Retention Letter of such Listed Employee, and (iii) thereafter, directly from the applicable Equityholder by wire transfer of immediately available
79

funds; provided, that (x) the Indemnified Parties shall in no event be entitled to recover from any Equityholder an amount greater than such amounts as have actually been paid to such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement (and a Retention Letter, if applicable pursuant to item (ii) above). The Representative shall make the final determination as to an Equityholders Escrow Pro Rata Percentage and the Equityholders shall not be entitled to make any claim against the Buyer, Parent or Company in respect of such determination.
(c) When calculating the distribution of Indemnification Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2 and the Escrow Agreement, any amounts paid to an Indemnified Party by an Equityholder from the Indemnification Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 9.6(b)(i) shall be deemed as having been released from the Indemnification Escrow Amount and distributed to the Equityholders, with the amount actually paid to the Indemnified Parties being reduced from distributions of Deferred Payments made to the applicable Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions herein. The Representative shall make the final determination as to each Equityholders Escrow Pro Rata Percentage portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, including on account of the provisions of this Section 9.6(c) and the Equityholders shall not be entitled to make any claim against the Buyer, Parent or Company in respect of such determination.
Section 9.7 Limitations.

The Indemnified Party shall at all times act in good faith and take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon and after becoming aware of any facts, matters, failures or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the failure of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any Damages after taking all commercially reasonable steps to do so release or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article IX.
