For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Contributing Securityholder pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), such amount of the Founder Note so repaid (net of any Taxes paid or deemed paid by Parent, Buyer or the Company thereon or in respect thereof, calculated using the highest corporate Tax rate applicable in the jurisdiction of the holder of the Founder Note) shall be distributed to each Contributing Securityholder in accordance with such Contributing Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share.

To the extent the principal amount of the Founder Note has been repaid upon the maturity date of the Founder Note, Parent shall pay an amount from the Founder Retained Amount equal to such repaid principal amount of the Founder Note (without interest thereon) to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Contributing Securityholders. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Contributing Securityholder pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.1(f), such amount of the Founder Retained Amount shall be distributed to each Contributing Securityholder in accordance with each such Contributing Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share. To the extent that the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under Section 2.1(e) or this Section 2.1(f) is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such Person shall indemnify Parent and its affiliates (including the Company) for any Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority.

(e)    Shares of Parent Common Stock. In addition to any legends that may otherwise be required by the terms and conditions of the Shareholders Agreement, the certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock issued by Parent to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1 shall bear the following legend:

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT. THE ISSUER OF THESE SHARES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(f)    Withholding Rights.

(i)    Parent, Buyer, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the 102 Trustee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (but without duplication) from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts Buyer, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the 102 Trustee, as the case may be, determines are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law in respect of Taxes, the Israeli Tax Ordinance, or under any other applicable Law, and to request and be provided any necessary and validly executed Tax forms, including valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the appropriate version of Form W-8, as applicable, and any similar information at the maximum rate for such withholding. The aforesaid includes an entitlement to withhold taxes from any consideration payable to any Person with respect to the share of such Person in the Escrow Amount; in the event that Buyer or the Paying Agent is required to withhold taxes with respect to the Escrow Amount from any consideration Buyer or the Paying Agent makes to any Contributing Securityholder (unless the Israel Tax Authority approves, to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and/or Buyer that the payment by Buyer to the Escrow Agent will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax), then such withholding will instead be deducted from the consideration that is otherwise payable to the relevant Contributing Securityholder at Closing in order to ensure that the funds actually being transferred to the


- 23 -



EXECUTION VERSION


Escrow Fund shall equal the Escrow Amount. Furthermore, in the event that Buyer or the Paying Agent is required to withhold taxes with respect to the Representative Expense Fund from any consideration Buyer or Paying Agent makes to any Contributing Securityholder, other than the Founders (unless the Israel Tax Authority approves, to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and/or Buyer that the payment by Buyer to the Representative will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax), then such withholding will instead be deducted from the consideration that is paid to the relevant Contributing Securityholder at Closing, in order to ensure that the funds actually being transferred to the Representative Expense Fund shall equal the Representative Expense Amount. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(f)(i) above, with respect to Israeli Tax, the Total Consideration payable to each of the Company Securityholders hereunder (excluding amounts held in the Escrow Fund under Section 2.4(b)), shall be paid to and retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of each such Company Securityholder for a period of 180 days from Closing or an earlier date required in writing by a Company Securityholder (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 Company Securityholder may obtain a certification or ruling (the “Qualified Withholding Certificate”) issued by the Israel Tax Authority, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, (x) exempting Buyer from the duty to withhold Israeli Taxes with respect to such Company Securityholder, (y) determining the applicable rate of Israeli Tax to be withheld from such Company Securityholder or (z) providing any other instructions regarding the payment or withholding with respect to the applicable consideration of such Company Securityholder. In the event that no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, a Company Securityholder 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 Company Securityholder’s cash portion of the Total Consideration due from such Company Securityholder as specified in such Qualified Withholding Certificate calculated based on the Total Consideration (cash and stock), and shall deliver to such Company Securityholder only the balance of the Total Consideration due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld. If any Company Securityholder (A) does not provide the Paying Agent with a Qualified Withholding Certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, 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/her/its portion of the Aggregate Consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Qualified Withholding Certificate at or before such time, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then the amount in cash to be withheld from such Company Securityholder’s cash portion of the Total Consideration shall be calculated based on the Total Consideration (cash and stock) according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by the Buyer, which amount shall be delivered to the Israel Tax Authority by the Paying Agent, and shall deliver to such Company Securityholder the balance of the Total Consideration due to such Company Securityholder that is not so withheld. In the event that Buyer, Parent or the Paying Agent receives a demand from the Israel Tax Authority to withhold any amount out of the Total Consideration payable to any of the Company Securityholders and transfer it to the Israel Tax Authority prior to the Withholding Drop Date, Buyer, Parent or the Paying Agent (1) shall notify such Company Securityholder of such matter promptly after receipt of such demand, and provide such Company Securityholder within reasonable time (but in no event less than twenty-one (21) days, unless otherwise explicitly required by the Israel Tax Authority or under any applicable Law) to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling or confirmation from the Israel Tax Authority, and (2) to the extent that any such certificate, ruling or confirmation is not timely provided by such Company Securityholder to Buyer, to Parent, or the

With respect to any such Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”), if such Pre-Closing Tax Return reflects Taxes for which Buyer will seek indemnification pursuant to Article 10, then such Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and in a manner consistent with prior practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law as determined in the reasonable discretion of Parent) and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), Buyer shall provide the Representative with a copy of any such Tax Return that reflects only operations and Taxes relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a pro forma Tax Return reflecting only such operations and Taxes.

If any claim is made against or involves any Company Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing, the provisions of this Section 8.25 shall continue in effect with respect to such claim until the final disposition thereof. The obligations of Parent, Buyer, the Company (following the Acquisition) or its successors under this Section 8.25 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnitee (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns) without the prior written consent of such Company Indemnitee (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns, as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent, Buyer and the Company (following the Acquisition) (i) shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law and (ii) shall not be deemed to release any Company Indemnitee who is also an officer or director of the Company from his or her obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement, nor shall such Company Indemnitee have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from Buyer or its successor or Parent with respect to any particular amount of Loss recoverable by any of the Indemnified Parties against such Company Indemnitee in his or her capacity as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Buyer shall have no obligation to maintain the existence of the Company for any specified period following the Closing.

(b)    The Company shall purchase, prior to or concurrent with the Closing, a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies (i.e., “tail coverage”) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing that will remain in effect for a period of six years after the Closing, the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are comparable to those of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (copies of which have been delivered by the Company to Parent and its representatives prior to the date hereof). Parent shall cooperate in good faith with the Company Indemnitees to use the tail coverage with respect to claims relating to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing.

8.26    Termination or Waiver of Company Shareholders Rights.  Each Executing Shareholder, by execution of this Agreement, hereby, on behalf of himself, herself or itself, and on behalf of each other Company Shareholder (a) waives, conditional upon and effective as of the Closing, and terminates, as of and contingent upon the Closing, any rights of first refusal, rights to any liquidation preference, redemption rights and rights of notice, including but not limited to those set forth in the Company Organizational Documents, the Amended and Restated Purchasers Rights Agreement, dated June 11, 2013, as amended on July 31, 2013, by and among the Company, the Founders, holders of Company Ordinary Shares and the Purchasers (each as defined therein) (the “IRA”) and (b) terminates, conditional upon and effective as of the Closing, the IRA.

(i)    The Representative may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in an Officer’s Certificate by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate (an “Objection Notice”); provided, however, that,


- 92 -



EXECUTION VERSION


to be effective, such Objection Notice must (A) be delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Claim Date of the applicable Officer’s Certificate (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Officer’s Certificate and the claims for indemnification contained therein) and (B) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made.

(ii)    To the extent that the Representative does not object in writing (as provided in Section 10.4(b)(i)) to the claims contained in an Officer’s Certificate prior to the Objection Deadline for such Officer’s Certificate, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Representative (or the applicable Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) with respect to the applicable parties against the applicable Indemnifying Parties (any such claim, an “Unobjected Claim”). Within thirty (30) days of a claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) and 10.4(e).

(c)    Resolution of Conflicts.

(i)    In case the Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 10.4(b)(i) hereof, the Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Parties) and the Indemnified Parties reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by all applicable parties (any claims covered by such an agreement, “Settled Claims”). Any amounts required to be paid as a result of a Settled Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Settled Claim within thirty (30) days of the applicable claim becoming a Settled Claim, subject to Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) and 10.4(e).

(ii)    If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation prior to forty-five (45) days after delivery of an Objection Notice, then upon the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period Parent, Buyer or the Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may submit any such dispute for resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9. Judgment upon any award rendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9 may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Claims determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.9 are referred to herein as “Resolved Claims.”

(d)    Payable and Unresolved Claims. A “Payable Claim” shall mean a claim for indemnification of Losses under this Article 10, to the extent that such claim has not yet been satisfied by cash payment or by release to the Indemnified Party of funds from the Escrow Fund, that is (i) a Resolved Claim, (ii) a Settled Claim or (iii) an Unobjected Claim. An “Unresolved Claim” shall mean any claim for indemnification of Losses under this Article 10 specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10.4(a), to the extent that such claim is not a Payable Claim and has not been satisfied by cash payment or release to the Indemnified Party of funds from the Escrow Fund.

(e)    Payment of Indemnification Claims from Escrow Fund; Distribution of the Escrow Fund.

(i)    Subject to Sections 10.4(a), (b) and (c) above, by virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the indemnity obligations provided for in Article 10, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the manner provided in


- 93 -



EXECUTION VERSION


this Section 10.4(e)(i), to recover the amount of any Losses with respect to which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification hereunder by the release of funds from the Escrow Fund.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, each of Parent and Buyer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off any and all Payable Claims against the Escrow Fund without the consent of the Representative.

(iii)    If the amounts held in the Escrow Fund are reduced pursuant to Section 10.3 or Section 10.4 or the Escrow Agreement, Parent and Buyer shall be entitled to permanently retain such amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Certificates shall be satisfied (i) first, from the Escrow Fund so long as the amount in the Escrow Fund is greater than zero, and (ii) second, against the Indemnifying Parties directly not exceeding such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, but only to the extent that such Losses cannot be recovered from the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that claims or recoveries in respect of any fraud in connection with, or any willful breach of, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Certificates may be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties either from the Escrow Fund or directly against the Indemnifying Parties rather than from the Escrow Fund; provided, further, to the extent an Indemnified Party recovers any amounts in connection therewith such recovered amounts shall not reduce the amount the Indemnified Parties may recover with respect to any other Indemnifiable Matters.

(iv)    Promptly after the Survival Date, Parent or Buyer will notify the Representative in writing of the amount retained to satisfy all claims for indemnification that have been asserted pursuant to a valid Officer’s Certificate, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the Survival Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). On the Escrow Release Date, an amount equal to (i) the amount held in the Escrow Fund as of the Survival Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) an amount equal to the Retained Escrow Amount, shall be transferred and delivered to the Indemnifying Parties with each Indemnifying Party to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount to be distributed by (B) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share. Following the Escrow Release Date, after resolution and payment of a Continuing Claim any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund with respect to such resolved and paid Continuing Claim (other than amounts retained to satisfy other Continuing Claims, which shall be retained in the Escrow Fund until resolution of the applicable Continuing Claim, shall be released promptly thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the Holdback Agreement, as the case may be), shall promptly be transferred and delivered to the Company Shareholders in an amount with respect to each Company Shareholders equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount to be distributed by (B) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share. The distributions provided in this Section 10.4(e)(iv) are subject to the terms of Section 10.6(b), the Holdback Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon any distribution from the Escrow Fund, the Representative shall provide Parent, Buyer and the Escrow Agent with payment delivery instructions for the payments to be made from the Escrow Fund to each Indemnifying Party and Parent and Buyer will be entitled to rely on such instructions for purposes of satisfying its obligation to distribute the Escrow Amount to the Indemnifying Parties.

(v)    Any amounts payable to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) shall be rounded to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a Dollar (with amounts 0.005 and above rounded up) and (B) if subject to applicable Tax withholding shall be transferred to the Paying Agent prior to distribution and Paying Agent will then deduct the appropriate Tax withholding amounts and distribute


- 94 -



EXECUTION VERSION


net funds to the applicable Indemnifying Party. If the sum of the final amounts payable to the Indemnifying Parties, rounded as a result of the preceding sentence, does not equal the remaining Escrow Amount, then the appropriate amount will be added or subtracted from the Indemnifying Party with the greatest Pro Rata Share, such that the sum of such final amounts does equal the remaining Escrow Amount.

(f)    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Indemnifying Parties, the Representative, Parent and Buyer agree to treat (and cause their affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 as adjustments to the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

10.5    Third Party Claims.  In the event Parent or Buyer becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent or Buyer reasonably believe may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.5, Parent or Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative in writing of such claim, and the Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. No delay in providing such notice shall affect an Indemnified Parties’ rights hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Representative or the Contributing Securityholders are prejudiced thereby. Parent and Buyer shall have the right in their respective discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim (it being understand that, without limiting Parent’s and Buyer’s discretion to determine strategy with respect to such claim, Parent and Buyer shall on an overall basis defend such claim with reasonable diligence and in good faith) and the Representative shall not be entitled to participate in any negotiation of settlement, adjustment or compromise with respect to any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that Parent and Buyer may not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided further, however, that the consent of the Representative with respect to any settlement of any such Third Party Claim shall be deemed to have been given unless the Representative shall have objected within thirty (30) days after a written request for such consent by Parent. In the event that the Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnifying Parties or the consenting Indemnifying Parties, as applicable, shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10.5 to the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise constituting a Payable Claim.

10.6    Representative.  Each of the Indemnifying Parties hereby appoints the Representative as his, her or its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement on their behalf and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him or her under this Agreement.

(a)    Powers of the Representative.

(i)    The Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon it pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, which shall include:

(A)    The power to execute any agreement or instrument in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, including this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(B)    The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnifying Party, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which notice must be given to each Indemnifying Party individually, as applicable),


- 95 -



EXECUTION VERSION


and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

(C)    The power (subject to the provisions of Section 10.6(a) hereof) to contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any indemnification claims or Actions for which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, authorize payment to any Indemnified Party of any of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of any indemnification claims, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such indemnification claims, resolve any indemnification claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(D)    The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties;

(E)    The power to review, negotiate and agree to and authorize any payments from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any payment obligation, in each case, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, as contemplated thereunder;

(F)    The power to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnifying Parties (other than the payment of the Total Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein); and

(G)    The power to take any actions contemplated hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and otherwise in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Escrow Agreement or as the Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Indemnifying Parties;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Indemnifying Parties; or (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Representative may appoint the Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf of the Representative, and all references to the Representative in such event shall include also such Indemnifying Party. Without implying that other actions would constitute an improper discrimination, each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees that discrimination between or among Indemnifying Parties solely on the basis of the respective number of Company Securities held by each Indemnifying Party or their respective Pro Rata Shares shall not be deemed to be improper. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Representative shall not be entitled to, and shall not, including by way of amending or waiving any provision hereof, take any action on behalf of any Indemnifying Party that would or could (i) cause any Indemnifying Party’s liability hereunder to exceed its portion of the Escrow Amount, (ii) result in the amounts payable hereunder to any Indemnifying Party being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, or (iii) result in an increase of any Indemnifying Party’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including,


- 96 -



EXECUTION VERSION


for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations), without (in each case) such Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(b)    Representations of Representative. The Representative hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Buyer as follows:

(i)    The Representative has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(ii)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer and the Company, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles and to the laws of agency.

(iii)    The Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by Buyer and the Escrow Agent, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles and to the laws of agency.

(c)    Representative Procedures Upon Receipt of Indemnification Claims.

(i)    Upon receipt or notice of any Officer’s Certificate, the Representative shall give prompt notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in his or her possession) to the Indemnifying Parties who sign that certain Engagement Letter to be entered into by and among the Representative, the Company and certain of the Indemnifying Parties. As soon as possible thereafter, the Representative shall notify such Indemnifying Parties of the proposed action which the Representative recommends shall be taken in response to such Officer’s Certificate.

(ii)    Any action taken by the Representative, including authorizing the distribution to any Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund, subject to the limitations of Section 10.6(a), shall be binding upon the Company Securityholders vis-à-vis Parent and Buyer for all intents and purposes.

(d)    Notices. Except to the extent that this Agreement requires that a notice be made to an Indemnifying Party, any notice given to the Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnifying Parties at the time notice is given to the Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnifying Parties. Except as otherwise contained herein or in the Escrow Agreement, Buyer and the Company may, and the Escrow Agent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Indemnifying Parties.

(e)    Agreement of the Representative. The Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(f)    Reimbursement and Liability of Representative.

(i)    At the Closing, the Representative Expense Amount shall be deducted from the amounts due to each holder of Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the amounts payable in respect of Vested Company Options pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and amounts payable in respect of Vested Promised Options pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and transferred to the Representative to be held as agent and for the benefit of the Indemnifying Parties in a segregated client account, as an expense fund to pay directly, or reimburse the Representative for, such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in the performance of his or her duties hereunder. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge that the Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any remaining funds not used by the Representative shall be paid to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Parties contributing to such fund, based on each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share, upon conclusion of the Representative’s duties hereunder. However, in any event (and particularly in the event that the Representative Expense Fund is not sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in the performance of his or her duties hereunder), each Indemnifying Party agrees that such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are not covered by the Representative Expense Fund may be deducted by the Representative from amounts distributed to the Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, from the Escrow Fund immediately prior to delivery of such Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties.

(ii)    The Representative will incur no liability to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to any action taken or suffered by the Representative in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by the Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and the Representative shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Except as expressly provided herein, the Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to the Representative.

(iii)    The Indemnifying Parties shall severally (but not jointly), based solely on their respective Pro Rata Shares, indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, 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 otherwise distributable to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the Representative Expense Fund and the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.

10.7    Reliance on Representative.  Buyer and its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of the Representative and treat such Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.4(b)) and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. None of Buyer or its respective affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Representative for which it was authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4(b) above. No resignation of the Representative shall become effective unless at least 30 days prior written notice of the replacement or resignation of such Representative shall be provided to Buyer and the Escrow Agent. Buyer and its respective affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. The Indemnifying Parties holding seventy five percent (75%) interest in the Escrow Fund may remove the Representative by a written instrument delivered to the Representative, Buyer and the Company, and, in such event and also if the Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his, her or its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Indemnifying Parties holding seventy five percent (75%) interest in the Escrow Fund held in escrow at such time and delivered to Buyer and the Escrow Agent.
