Each Person noted above is referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”, and references to Schedules and Exhibits refer to the Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement, unless otherwise noted.
RECITALS
A.    The Company designs, develops, markets and sells innovative products that significantly advance the treatment of aortic instability (the “Business”), including the Company Products (as defined in this Agreement), all of which are listed and described in Schedule 2.
B.    Concurrently herewith, Buyer and the Company are entering into an agreement providing Buyer or a Subsidiary designated by Buyer the exclusive right to distribute the Nexus™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System in certain countries (the “Distribution Agreement”).
C.    Also concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer and the Company are entering into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer undertakes to extend a loan to the Company and the Company shall borrow from Buyer up to $15 million (the “Buyer Loan”), which is to be funded in tranches, the proceeds of which are to be used primarily for the Company obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the Nexus™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System indicated for the endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic diseases involving the aortic arch with proximal landing zone in the ascending aorta and the Brachiocephalic artery or for other indications (“FDA Approval”) and for working capital needs for purposes of commercializing the Nexus Product within the territory described in Exhibit B to the Distribution Agreement.
D.    In connection with the Buyer Loan and the Company’s other obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Company is entering into a debenture pursuant to which the Company grants Buyer a perfected security interest in all of the Company’s assets (other than the Horizon Assets) (the “Debenture”), which shall be junior in priority with respect to the charge on the Company’s assets that the Company granted to JLL in connection with the JLL Loan.
E.    In addition, in further consideration for the Buyer Loan, (a) the Company desires to issue to Buyer, and Buyer desires to obtain, the Veto Share, and (b) the Company and the Securityholders desire to grant, and Buyer desires to obtain, an option for Buyer or one of its Affiliates to purchase either (i) 100% of the Company’s Company Securities (as defined in this Agreement) (except for the Company Options (as defined below), which are to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2) at the time of the Closing (as defined below) or (ii) if the Company is unable to cause the sale of 100% of the Company Securities (except for the Company Options, which are to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2) to Buyer or one of its Affiliates, 100% of the Acquired Assets (as defined below) (the “Buyer Option”) (such acquisition of the Company Securities or the Acquired Assets, as applicable, the “Acquisition”) in exchange for the Acquisition Consideration.
F.    The Securityholders are as of the date of this Agreement and will be (together with any new holders of Company Securities who execute joinders to become Securityholders) as of immediately prior to the Closing the holders of all outstanding Company Securities. Upon the Closing, subject to the
1

G.    As a condition to the Closing (as defined below), Buyer, the Securityholder Representative and U.S. Bank, N.A., in its capacity as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Securityholder Representative (the “Escrow Agreement”), to be effective as of the Closing Date, and a portion of the cash consideration otherwise payable in connection with the Acquisition shall be placed in one or more escrow accounts pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as partial security for any amounts payable for indemnification claims and other payment obligations, as described in this Agreement.
H.    Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, (i) certain of the Securityholders listed in Schedule 3 are entering into a Contract not to compete with the Business or solicit employees or customers of the Business in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1, with respect to Securityholders who are employees of the Company; or Exhibit A-2, with respect to Securityholders who are not employees of the Company (as applicable, the “Securityholder Non-Competition Agreement”) each to be effective as of the Closing Date, and (ii) the Company’s shareholders who are required to approve an amendment and restatement to the Company’s Articles of Association pursuant to applicable Law and the Company’s prior Articles of Association have approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Articles of Association as set forth in Exhibit B (the “Restated Articles”), which are effective as of the date of this Agreement. Securityholders listed on Schedule 3 that do not execute and deliver a Securityholder Non-Competition Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall do so promptly following the delivery of the Exercise Notice.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other promises set forth in this Agreement, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

3.1    Buyer Option and Veto Share.
(a)    On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of and subject to Buyer’s payment to the Company of $1,000,000 within fourteen (14) Business Days of the Effective Time (the “Fee”), the mutual covenants and other good and valuable consideration set forth in this Agreement, and for the commitment to enter into the Distribution Agreement, the Company, the Securityholders and Buyer are entering into this Agreement and their respective obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Securityholders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grant to Buyer the right and option (but not the obligation) to purchase (directly or indirectly through an Affiliate) 100%, but not less than 100%, of the Company Securities owned immediately prior to the Closing by such Securityholders, exercisable at any time during the Option Period, and the Company hereby issues to Buyer the Veto Share, with the Veto Share having the rights ascribed to such Veto Share in the Restated Articles.
(b)    Buyer (or its Affiliate) may exercise the Buyer Option by delivering written notice to the Securityholder Representative and the Company indicating Buyer’s (or the Affiliate’s) election to exercise the Buyer Option (the “Exercise Notice”). Upon receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Company shall give notice to the Securityholders. The Buyer Option shall be validly exercised if the Exercise Notice is delivered at any time during the Option Period, notwithstanding the expiration of the Option Period prior to the consummation of the Closing. Once Buyer has delivered the Exercise Notice, it shall be irrevocable without the right to rescind the Exercise Notice, and the Parties shall be obligated to consummate the Acquisition, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. If Buyer utilizes an Affiliate to deliver the Exercise Notice or purchase the Company Securities, Buyer shall cause such Affiliate to pay the Adjusted Additional Consideration Amount pursuant to Section 4.2. If Buyer does not deliver the Exercise Notice to the Securityholder Representative and the Company on or before the expiration of the Option Period, the Buyer Option and this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(c)    Upon issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Veto Share will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, the Restated Articles, or any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, free and clear of any Liens, and shall have been issued in compliance with all applicable Laws.
(d)    The grant of the Buyer Option and the effectiveness of this Agreement (including the Company’s obligations hereunder) shall occur at the Effective Time.
3.2    Cancellation of Company Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 3.9, and without duplication of payment obligations with respect to Company Securities set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, all the outstanding options, warrants or rights (whether or not exercisable as of the Effective Time), to acquire any Company Securities, including options to purchase shares of the share capital of the Company pursuant to the Option Plan (defined below), any other plan, or otherwise (the “Company Options”), shall be, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, automatically cancelled and each holder of a cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the applicable Company Option, an amount calculated as follows: (a) the total number of ordinary shares of the Company into which the Company Option is vested and exercisable as of the Closing, multiplied by (b) an amount from the Closing Consideration equal to the per share amount payable pursuant to this Agreement in consideration for each ordinary share of the Company (as determined pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association or the Restated Articles, as shall be set forth in the Consideration Schedule or, if delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Updated Consideration Schedule), minus the exercise price per ordinary share of the Company subject to such Company Option payable upon exercise thereof, pursuant to the respective Contract governing the Company Option; all as shall be set forth in the Consideration Schedule or, if delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Updated Consideration Schedule.
3


In addition, upon payment of the Adjusted Additional Consideration Amount (defined below) pursuant to Section 4.2(c) below, each holder of Company Options shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the applicable Company Option, an amount calculated as follows: (i) the total number of ordinary shares of the Company into which the Company Option was vested and exercisable as of the Closing, multiplied by (ii) an amount from the Adjusted Additional Consideration Amount equal to the per share amount payable pursuant to this Agreement in consideration for each ordinary share of the Company (as determined pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association or the Restated Articles, as shall be set forth in the Consideration Schedule or, if delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Updated Consideration Schedule). As of the Closing, any and all unvested Company Options shall be, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, automatically terminated, cancelled and of no further force or effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Contract providing for any Company Option and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. This Section 3.2 shall be deemed an amendment to any Contract providing for any Company Option for all intents and purposes.
3.3    Sale and Purchase of the Company Securities. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) each Securityholder shall, severally and not jointly, sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer all of its rights, title and interests in the Company Securities owned by such Securityholder, free and clear of any Liens, and (b) Buyer shall purchase and acquire all of the Company Securities held by each such Securityholder, free and clear of any Liens, for the consideration described in Section 3.5.
3.4    Closing. The Acquisition will take place at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time ninety (90) days following the date Buyer (or its Affiliate) delivers the Exercise Notice to the Company (or if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), subject to the satisfaction or written waiver of the conditions set forth in Article X, provided that (a) the Acquisition will not take place prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period without Buyer’s (or its Affiliate’s) express written consent, (b) the Closing may occur on a different date and time if mutually agreed in writing by the Company, the Securityholder Representative and Buyer (or its Affiliate), (c) if the Closing would otherwise occur during Buyer’s fourth fiscal quarter, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to delay the Closing to a date occurring within the first month of Buyer’s first fiscal quarter of the following year, (d) if the Option Tax Ruling or an Interim Option Tax Ruling has not been obtained, either Buyer or the Company may elect to delay the Closing up to a period of thirty (30) days to obtain the Option Tax Ruling or an Interim Option Tax Ruling, and (e) if the Parties are relying on the “bring along” provisions of the Restated Articles or a forced sale by Applicable Law to facilitate the Acquisition, Buyer may delay the Closing to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate such “bring along” Closing or forced sale by Applicable Law. The Acquisition shall take place remotely by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic communication, unless another method is mutually agreed upon in writing by Buyer (or its Affiliate), the Company and the Securityholder Representative. The consummation of the Acquisition is referred to as the “Closing.” The date and time upon which the Closing is effective shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The purchase and sale of the Company Securities, the delivery of documents and other instruments that are required to be delivered at the Closing and the other events occurring at the Closing in accordance herewith shall be deemed to have occurred and executed simultaneously at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.
3.5    Acquisition Consideration.
(a)    Closing Consideration Payments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 3.5(b) and the adjustment set forth in Section 4.1, in full consideration for the transfer (or cancellation, surrender or termination, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.9) of all of the Company Securities to Buyer, immediately upon the Closing, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be the Trustee with respect to the 102 Options) for further distribution by the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 3.5(e) with respect to the 102 Options) to each of the Securityholders their respective portion of the
4


Closing Consideration, less the applicable Taxes and amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.6, all in accordance with the Consideration Schedule. The Paying Agent shall distribute the Closing Consideration by initiating a bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated in writing by the Securityholders. Buyer shall pay the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund to the account specified by the Securityholder Representative to be utilized by the Securityholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 11.5(h).
(b)    Escrow. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 11.3 and Section 11.5, Buyer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash equal to $23,500,000 and an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount, to be maintained as segregated accounts; provided, however, if (i) the Securityholder Representative fails or refuses to execute the Escrow Agreement or (ii) if a Securityholder fails to deliver the documentation reasonably required by the Escrow Agent with respect to “Know-Your-Customer” requirements, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to in the event described under clause (i), treat the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount, or, in the event described under clause (ii), that portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount that would otherwise be released to such Securityholder, as holdback amounts and retain the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount (or such portions thereof, as applicable), subject to disbursement to the Securityholders or relinquishment to Buyer consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in which case references herein to the Indemnity Escrow Amount or the Adjustment Escrow Amount, as applicable, shall refer to the amount so held back by Buyer, and references to the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Adjustment Escrow Fund shall refer to the portion of the applicable holdback amount then remaining. The Securityholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall equal in the aggregate the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The Securityholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions of the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall equal in the aggregate the Adjustment Escrow Amount.
(c)    Net Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. If the Net Post-Closing Adjustment as determined in Section 4.1 is positive pursuant to Section 4.1(h)(ii), the Securityholders shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.1(h) an amount equal to their Pro Rata Portion of the Net Post-Closing Adjustment.
(d)    Additional Consideration Payment; Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount. The Securityholders shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(c) an amount equal to their Pro Rata Portion of the Adjusted Additional Consideration Amount. Buyer shall (i) deposit with the Escrow Agent (A) $6,000,000 of the Additional Consideration Amount and (B) the amount of Losses subject to pending indemnification claims that Buyer has made against the Additional Consideration Amount as identified on one or more Officer’s Certificate(s) delivered by Buyer to the Securityholder Representative and/or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, pursuant to Article XI (collectively clauses (A) and (B), the “Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount”), which amount shall be added to and become a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, and references herein to the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be inclusive of the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount, and (ii) deduct and retain any other amounts due and payable to any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to Article IV or Article XI of this Agreement. Buyer shall deposit the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent on the Additional Consideration Payment Date, to be included in the Indemnity Escrow Fund on the terms set forth herein. If (i) the Securityholder Representative fails or refuses to execute the Escrow Agreement or (ii) if a Securityholder fails to deliver the documentation reasonably required by the Escrow Agent with respect to “Know-Your-Customer” requirements, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to in the event described under clause (i), treat the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount, or, in the event described under clause (ii), that portion of the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount that would otherwise be released to such Securityholder, as holdback amounts and retain the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount (or such portions thereof, as applicable), subject to disbursement to the Securityholders or relinquishment to Buyer consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in which case references herein to the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount shall refer to the amount so held back by Buyer, and references to the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall
5


include the portion of the applicable holdback amount then remaining. Upon the contribution of the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount to the Indemnity Escrow Fund, such amount shall be included in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, references to the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Indemnity Escrow Amount herein shall be inclusive of such Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount, and the Securityholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall include the Securityholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions of the Additional Indemnity Escrow Amount, as determined in the Updated Consideration Schedule, if delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(c).
(e)    Any Closing Consideration and Additional Consideration payable upon the exercise or cashing out of a 102 Option or in respect of a Share held by the Trustee following the exercise of a 102 Option and distributed hereunder shall be delivered to the Trustee, and disbursed by the Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 of the ITO and the Option Tax Ruling (if obtained).
3.6    Withholding Taxes.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Buyer (or its Affiliate, if applicable), the Company, the Paying Agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be the Trustee with respect to the 102 Options), and the Escrow Agent (each, a “Payor”) shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law and to reasonably request any necessary Tax forms, as applicable and any similar information necessary to calculate the required deduction and withholding. To the extent that any such amounts are deducted or withheld and timely remitted to the ITA, the amounts deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person whose payment was deducted or withheld. In the case of any amounts withheld, the withholding party shall provide to the Securityholders from which such amounts were withheld written confirmation of the amount so withheld.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section )3.6a(, if the Paying Agent provides Buyer prior to the Closing Date, with an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Paying Agent Undertaking”) with respect to Israeli Tax, any amount payable to a Securityholder (each a “Payee”) under this Agreement shall be retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of such Payee for a period of up to one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of payment, or an earlier date required in writing by such Payee, or as otherwise requested by the ITA (the “Withholding Drop Date”). During the period prior to the Withholding Drop Date, no amount shall be withheld by the Paying Agent, except as provided below or as requested by the ITA and during which time, such Payee may obtain (or, if one already exists, present to the Paying Agent) a Valid Withholding Certificate. In the event that no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Payee submits to the Paying Agent a Valid Withholding Certificate, the Paying Agent shall act only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Withholding Certificate. If a Payee: (i) does not provide the Paying Agent with a Valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request to the Paying Agent to release the amounts held by the Paying Agent to such Payee, prior to such time and fails to submit a Valid Withholding Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld and transferred to the ITA from the amounts payable to such Payee, shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding Tax Law (calculated in NIS based on a US$:NIS exchange rate at the payment date) as reasonably determined by the Paying Agent. Such amount shall be delivered or caused to be delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall release promptly to such Payee the balance of the amount due to such Payee that is not so withheld. Subject to Section 3.6(b), if the Paying Agent Undertaking is provided to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, then a Payee shall not be required to provide a Payor with a Valid Withholding Certificate (and thus no withholding of Tax shall apply on the Payor) with respect to such Payee’s portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Adjusted Additional Consideration Amount, until the actual payment of such amount or any portions thereof to each such Payee is made, in
6


which case any applicable withholding will be calculated (as provided above) and delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement to holders of 102 Options will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax in accordance with the ITO on the sixteenth (16th) day of the calendar month following the month during which the payment to the Trustee was made, unless prior to such time the Option Tax Ruling or the Interim Option Tax Ruling have been obtained and delivered to Buyer and Trustee, providing for no withholding.
(d)    With respect to non-Israeli tax resident holders of Company Options, which holders were granted such Company Options in consideration for work or services performed outside of Israel (and will provide Buyer, prior to any payment to them, with a validly executed declaration, in the form previously agreed by Buyer and the Company, regarding their non-Israeli tax residence and confirmation that they were granted such Company Options in consideration for work or services performed outside of Israel), such payments shall not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax, unless Buyer determines based on advice from an Israeli Tax expert that a Valid Withholding Certificate shall be provided to Buyer or otherwise withholding or deduction is required.
(e)    Any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable Securityholder and deducted from payments to be made to such Securityholder.
(f)    In the event that a Payor receives a demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the amount payable to any Securityholder and transfer it to the ITA prior to the Withholding Drop Date, the Payor shall (i) promptly notify such Securityholder of such demand, and provide such Securityholder with reasonable time (unless otherwise required by the ITA or any applicable Tax 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 ITA and (ii) to the extent that any such certificate, ruling or confirmation is not timely provided by such Securityholder to Buyer, transfer to the ITA such amount so demanded, including any interest, indexation and fines required by the ITA in respect thereof, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Securityholder.
3.7    Option Tax Ruling
(a)    The Company shall file with the ITA an application for an option tax ruling confirming, among others, that: (i) the Payor shall be exempt from withholding Tax on payments made under this Agreement in connection with the 102 Options; (ii) the payment of any consideration upon the cancellation of the 102 Options which are subject to tax in accordance with Section 102(b)(2) of the ITO, will not constitute a violation of Section 102 of the ITO nor the regulations, rules or orders promulgated thereunder as long as such consideration is deposited with the Trustee (the “Application” and “Option Tax Ruling” as applicable).
(b)    The Application shall not preclude any further applications by the Company for rulings relating to other matters unless agreed otherwise in writing between Buyer and the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause its counsel, accountants and other advisors, to coordinate all activities in relation to obtaining the Option Tax Ruling with Buyer and its counsel, including any written or oral submissions, meetings with the ITA, as may be necessary, proper and advisable. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parties shall cooperate to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all commercially reasonable actions and to do, or cause to be done, all commercially reasonable acts necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to obtain the Option Tax Ruling as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the Securityholder Representative is not bound by this Section 3.7(b).

(c)    In the event that it becomes apparent that the Option Tax Ruling will not be received prior to Closing, the Company shall obtain, prior to the Closing, an interim tax ruling confirming that: (i) Buyer and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from withholding Tax on payments made under this Agreement in relation to the 102 Options; and (ii) the payment of any consideration upon the cancellation of the 102 Options will not constitute a violation of Section 102 of the ITO (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the “Interim Option Tax Ruling”).

The Paying Agent shall be responsible for the distribution of such amounts delivered by Buyer to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Consideration Schedule; provided, however, that if the Company refuses to update the Consideration Schedule to correct an error identified by Buyer, Buyer may instruct the Paying Agent of the error and the necessary correction, and Buyer’s instruction to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent’s processing of such payment consistent with Buyer’s instruction to correct such error shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.8.

(a)    No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, certifying the Company’s good faith determination of Net Working Capital (such amount, the “Initial Working Capital”), together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof (the “Initial Working Capital Statement”). As provided in Sections 9.4, 9.5(a), and 9.5(b), respectively, five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Statement of Expenses, the Statement of Debt and Cash, and the Statement of Adjustment Items (collectively, the “Closing Statement”). If the Company fails to deliver the certificate or any of the statements required to be delivered in this Section 4.1(a), Buyer shall prepare an estimate in good faith of each of the calculations contemplated, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Buyer’s estimates will be used for the purpose of making the calculations in this Section 4.1(a). If the Initial Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the amount of such shortfall is referred to as the “Working Capital Shortfall”. If the Initial Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, such excess amount is referred to as the “Excess Working Capital”.
(b)    Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Securityholder Representative a working capital statement (the “Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the calculation of the Net Working Capital and reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof (the “Updated Working Capital”), a statement setting forth the calculation of the Company Debt and Company Cash (the “Updated Company Debt and Cash Statement”), a statement of expenses setting forth the calculation of the Third Party Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date (the “Updated Third Party Transaction Expenses Statement”), and a statement setting forth the calculation of the Adjustment Items as of the Closing Date (the “Updated Adjustment Items Statement,” and collectively with the Working Capital Statement, the Updated Company Debt and Cash Statement, and the Updated Third Party Transaction Expenses Statement, the “Closing Adjustment Statement”), in each case as of the Closing Date.
(c)    Within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Securityholder Representative of the Closing Adjustment Statement, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver written notice to Buyer of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Adjustment Statement. If the Securityholder Representative does not notify Buyer in writing of a dispute with respect to the Closing Adjustment Statement within such sixty (60)-day period, pursuant to a written notice describing in reasonable detail the specific calculations that are disputed and the basis for such dispute (a “Closing Consideration Objection Notice”), such Closing Adjustment Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Securityholder Representative provides Buyer a Closing Consideration Objection Notice within such sixty (60)-day period, Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and the Securityholder Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Securityholder Representative advises Buyer of its objections, then Buyer and the Securityholder Representative jointly shall be entitled to engage the Arbitration Firm to resolve such dispute. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Firm’s engagement), the Securityholder Representative shall submit any unresolved elements of its objection to the Arbitration Firm in writing (with a copy to Buyer), supported by any documents and arguments upon which it relies. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days following the Securityholder Representative’s submission of such unresolved elements), Buyer shall submit its response to the Arbitration Firm (with a copy to the Securityholder Representative) supported by any documents and arguments upon which it relies. Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall request
10


that the Arbitration Firm render its determination within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of Buyer’s response. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbitration Firm shall be limited to the unresolved items to which the Securityholder Representative specifically objected in the Closing Consideration Objection Notice. Any item or calculation not set forth in the Closing Consideration Objection Notice shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbitration Firm shall use the Accepted Accounting Principles and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either Party or less than the smallest value claimed for such item by either Party. All determinations made by the Arbitration Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. All reasonable fees and costs of the Arbitration Firm in resolving any disputed item shall be paid by the non-prevailing party, as determined by the Arbitration Firm.
(d)    If the Initial Working Capital exceeds the Updated Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.1(c)), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted downward by an amount equal to such excess. On the other hand, if the Updated Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) exceeds the Initial Working Capital, then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess. The adjustment to Buyer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) shall be referred to herein as the “Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment” and shall be made pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.1(h).
(e)    If Company Debt (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) exceeds the Company Debt set forth on the Statement of Debt and Cash delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(a) or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted downward by an amount equal to such excess. On the other hand, if Company Debt (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) is less than the Company Debt set forth on the Statement of Debt and Cash delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(a) or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess. If Company Cash (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) exceeds the Company Cash set forth on the Statement of Debt and Cash delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted upward by such excess. If the Company Cash (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) is less than the Company Cash set forth on the Statement of Debt and Cash delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted downward by the amount of such excess. The adjustment to Buyer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) shall be made pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.1(h).
(f)    If Adjustment Items (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) exceeds the Adjustment Items set forth on the Statement of Adjustment Items delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(b) or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted downward by such excess amount. On the other hand, if the Adjustment Items set forth on the Statement of Adjustment Items delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5(b) or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), exceeds the Adjustment Items (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted upward by such excess amount. The adjustment to Buyer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(f) shall be made pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.1(h).
11


(g)    If Third Party Transaction Expenses (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) exceed the Third Party Transaction Expenses set forth on the Statement of Expenses delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.4 or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted downward by the amount of such excess. On the other hand, if the Third Party Transaction Expenses set forth on the statement delivered prior to the Closing by the Company to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.4 or, if applicable, Buyer’s good faith estimate of such amount pursuant to Section 4.1(a), exceed the Third Party Transaction Expenses (as finally determined after the Closing pursuant to Section 4.1(c)), then Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement will be adjusted upward by such excess amount. The adjustment to Buyer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1(g) shall be made pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.1(h).
(h)    The sum of upward adjustments in Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement minus the sum of the downward adjustments in Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement, in each case pursuant to Section 4.1(d), Section 4.1(e), Section 4.1(f) and Section 4.1(g) is referred to as the “Net Post-Closing Adjustment” and shall be satisfied as follows:

Any Securityholder Arbitration Fees so withheld or transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)(i), shall, only to the extent the Arbitration Firm has not been paid the Securityholder Arbitration Fees due and payable to the Arbitration Firm, be transferred by Buyer to the account specified by the Securityholder Representative, and shall be paid by the Securityholder Representative to the Arbitration Firm.
(ii)    If the Net Post-Closing Adjustment is positive, then the Securityholder Representative and Buyer shall deliver a joint written authorization to the Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days from the date on which Updated Working Capital, Company Debt, Company Cash, Adjustment Items, and Third Party Transaction Expenses are finally determined pursuant to Section 4.1(c) authorizing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 11.3(b)(ii), and Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days, pay or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent for further distribution to each of the Securityholders, as if such amount had been distributed at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to (x) the Net Post-Closing Adjustment minus (y) any Securityholder Arbitration Fees. Any Securityholder Arbitration Fees so withheld or transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)(ii), shall be transferred by Buyer to the account specified by the Securityholder Representative, and shall, only to the extent the Arbitration Firm has not been paid the Securityholder Arbitration Fees due and payable to the Arbitration Firm, be paid by the Securityholder Representative to the Arbitration Firm.

Buyer shall not be in breach of this Section 4.1 if Buyer identifies an error in the Consideration Schedule affecting any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.1 and the Company refuses to update the Consideration Schedule to correct such error; provided, however, Buyer may instruct the Paying Agent of the error and the necessary correction, and Buyer’s instruction to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent’s processing of such payment consistent with Buyer’s instruction to correct such error shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.1.
4.2    Additional Consideration.
(a)    Within sixty (60) days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Securityholder Representative a statement (the “Additional Consideration Statement”) setting forth the calculation of the Additional Consideration Amount (which for the sake of clarity, shall reflect at least the Minimum Additional Consideration Amount, subject to the reduction for amounts contributed to escrows pursuant to Section 3.5(d) and offset for amounts due and payable to Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Persons under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.5(d) and 4.2(c) (the “Proposed Additional Consideration Amount”) and providing, in reasonable detail, the calculations used in calculating the Proposed Additional Consideration Amount.

If the Securityholder Representative does not provide Buyer with an Additional Consideration Objection Notice within such sixty (60)-day period, such Additional Consideration Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and the Proposed Additional Consideration Amount will be the final Additional Consideration Amount for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Securityholder Representative provides Buyer an Additional Consideration Objection Notice, Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and the Securityholder Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Securityholder Representative advises Buyer of its objections, then Buyer and the Securityholder Representative jointly shall be entitled to engage the Arbitration Firm to resolve such dispute.

(iv)    Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9.10(a) and in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company with respect to the Straddle Period.
(v)    To the extent that the Party responsible pursuant to this Agreement for filing a Tax Return (the “Filing Party”) is required to remit any Taxes that another Party is responsible pursuant to this Agreement to pay (the “Paying Party”), the Paying Party shall pay to the Filing Party any such Taxes within 10 days after receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of such Taxes. To the extent that the Securityholders are the Paying Party, Buyer shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to receive a distribution from the Indemnity Escrow Fund with respect to such Taxes in lieu of receiving payment from the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 9.10(a)(v).
(vi)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, value added, goods and services, excise, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement that are attributable to the Securityholders (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Securityholders when due, except to the extent such Transfer Taxes were included as Liabilities in the calculation of Net Working Capital, and the Securityholders will, at the expense of the Securityholders, prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and if
53


required by applicable Law, Buyer will and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Cooperation. Buyer, the Company and the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Securityholders, shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with (i) the filing of any Tax Returns of or with respect to the Business, the Company, or the operations of the Company, and (ii) any audit, examination, voluntary disclosure or other administrative or judicial proceeding, contest, assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes of the Business, the Company, or the operations of the Company (a “Tax Contest”). Any Tax Contest shall be treated as a Third Party Claim for purposes of Section 11.4(f). Such cooperation shall include obtaining and providing appropriate forms, retaining and providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Buyer will represent the interests of the Company with respect to any Tax Contests involving the Company. Notwithstanding the above, if the Tax Contest relates to Taxes for which Securityholders may incur indemnity obligations under this Agreement, Buyer will conduct the defense of such claim, and the Securityholder Representative will have the right to participate in such Tax Contest but not control at the Securityholders’ expense. Buyer and/or the Company shall be entitled to settle any claim for Taxes without the prior consent of the Securityholder Representative. To the extent Buyer approaches the Securityholder Representative for consent to a settlement, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that any claim for Tax is settled without the written consent of the Securityholder Representative, such settlement shall not be determinative of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Losses (if any) that a Buyer Indemnified Person may be entitled to as a result of such claim.
(d)    Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing, indemnification or allocation Contract, arrangement, practice or policy to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound (other than any commercial Contract with customary terms entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Company and the principal purpose of which is unrelated to Taxes) shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and the Company shall not have any liability or obligation pursuant thereto.
(e)    Refunds. The Securityholders shall be entitled to any Tax refund or Tax reduction, including interest paid therewith, in respect of Taxes paid prior to the Closing by the Company included in the calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment, or paid pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, in each case with respect to any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) that ends on or before the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any refund of any Tax Liability included in the calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment), to the extent any such Tax refund or Tax reduction is actually so received by or applied to reduce the Taxes of Buyer, the Company, or any of their Affiliates. Buyer shall forward or pay such Tax refund or Tax reduction actually received or applied to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Securityholders, net of any direct out-of-pocket costs attributable to receipt of such Tax refund or Tax reduction, within thirty (30) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and to take the required actions, including filing amended Tax Returns in order to obtain any of the foregoing amounts, but Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no such obligation if such actions may give rise to adverse Tax consequences or unreasonable expense.
(f)    Post-Closing Tax Actions. None of Buyer, the Company, or their Affiliates shall (i) except as otherwise contemplated in Section 9.10(a), cause the Company to make or change any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) except in connection with a Tax Contest, agree to extend or waive the statute of limitations
54


with respect Taxes of the Company for a Tax period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date, in each such case to the extent such action results in an increase in Taxes for which indemnification by the Securityholders could be required hereunder, except with the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(g)    Survival; Conflicts. The obligations set forth in this Section 9.10 (and any claim for breach thereof) shall terminate at the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). To the extent of any conflict between this Section 9.10 and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 9.10 shall govern with respect to Tax matters.
9.11    Indemnification of Officers and Directors. From the Closing until the seventh anniversary of the Closing occurs, all rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are or were directors and officers of the Company prior to or as of the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Closing, as provided in the Restated Articles and as provided in any indemnification Contracts effective prior to the Closing between the Company and any D&O Indemnified Persons shall survive the Acquisition and shall be observed by the Company in accordance with the terms thereof and to the fullest extent available under applicable Law. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company (and its respective successors) to maintain such provisions in its Articles of Association (as amended from time to time) concerning the indemnification and exoneration of the Company’s former and current officers and directors that are no less favorable to those persons than the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association as in effect immediately prior to Closing, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to such officer or director, except as required by applicable Laws. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall survive the consummation of the Acquisition and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and theirs successors, assigns and heirs, and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. The rights provided by this Section 9.11 may not be amended or waived other than by the express written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.11 shall limit the rights of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article XI, and the Company shall not be obligated to provide indemnification or advancement of expenses to any D&O Indemnified Persons with respect to any action, suit, claim or proceeding of any nature arising from the actions or omissions of such D&O Indemnified Person that also give rise to Losses for which any Buyer Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article XI. The Company shall obtain “tail” director and officer insurance and “tail” errors and omissions liability insurance prior to the Closing (the “D&O Tail Policy”), which by its terms shall survive the Closing and shall provide runoff coverage for not less than seven (7) years following the Closing Date, having limits, terms and conditions no less favorable in all material respects than the terms of the D&O and E&O liability insurance policies currently maintained by the Company. Buyer shall cause the Company (and its successors) following the Closing not to terminate such insurance policies.
9.12    Securityholder Release. Effective as of the Closing, and subject to the consummation thereof, each Securityholder, on behalf of himself/itself and his/its heirs, executors, estates, devisees, Affiliates, and each of their respective heirs, executors, estates, devisees, successors and assigns (each, a “Releasing Person”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges and covenants not to sue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, Buyer and each of their respective current and past managers, officers, directors, equity holders, partners, Affiliates, service providers, employees, accountants, attorneys and representatives (including their respective heirs, executors, estates, devisees, successors and assigns) (each, a “Buyer Released Person”) of, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, actions, causes of action, claims, expenses,
55


demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which such Releasing Person has at any time prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date, or thereafter whether or not pending on or asserted after the Closing, against Buyer Released Persons for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing, in each case solely to the extent occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Released Holder Claims”), including matters arising in connection with such Securityholder’s ownership prior to the Closing Date of any Company Securities or such Securityholder’s contractual or other arrangements with the Company prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 9.12 shall affect or be deemed to be construed as a waiver or release of any claims or rights which cannot be waived under applicable Law arising from or relating to (a) (i) any compensation that is a current liability taken into account in the calculation of Initial Working Capital, Updated Working Capital or the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment, (ii) any unreimbursed out-of-pocket business expenses reasonably incurred in the proper performance of its duties and entitled to reimbursement pursuant to the Company’s business expense policy, and (iii) any rights pursuant to any Company Employee Plans (including bonuses, change of control or severance payments, or any similar employee related benefits) if and only if disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule or otherwise reflected in the calculation of Acquisition Consideration, in each of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) with respect of services performed by the Releasing Person as an employee, officer, director, or consultant of the Company prior to the Closing, (b) any rights or benefits available to any Releasing Party pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right of each Securityholder to receive their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Closing Consideration, the Additional Consideration, the Adjustment Escrow Fund, and the Indemnity Escrow Fund, as each is reflected in the Consideration Schedule (or, if delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Updated Consideration Schedule), and any other payment hereunder, when becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (c) any rights that the Releasing Person may have to indemnification as a director or officer (i) under the D&O Tail Policy or under any other directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or (ii) pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with such Releasing Person that is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, so long as such claim for indemnification does not otherwise arise from the actions or omissions of such Releasing Person giving rise to Losses for which Buyer Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article XI (any such claim giving rise to indemnification for the Releasing Person under such written indemnification agreement and for Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article XI, an “Overlapping Claim”) (provided, however, that with respect to an Overlapping Claim, the Releasing Person is not releasing the Company of its obligation to indemnify a D&O Indemnified Person pursuant to such written indemnification agreement with the Company solely to the extent such indemnification by the Company is necessary for such Releasing Person to be eligible for coverage under the D&O Tail Policy), (d) rights under any offer letter, employment agreement or retention agreement between Releasing Person and any of the Company, Buyer, or any of their Affiliates, and (e) claims arising under the provisions of the Contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and a Securityholder, on the other, that are listed on Schedule 5 to this Agreement; and any such matters described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (e) shall not be deemed Released Holder Claims hereunder; provided, further, that the Company may supplement Schedule 5 to this Agreement to include Contracts arising after the date of this Agreement to the extent approved by Buyer. Each Securityholder (x) understands that the release contained in this Section 9.12 is binding on such Securityholder and its heirs, executors, estates, devisees, Affiliates, and each of their respective heirs, executors, estates, devisees, successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms, effective as of the Closing, and subject to the consummation thereof, (y) represents and warrants that (i) it has had the opportunity to consult with counsel of its choice, (ii) it is fully informed of the nature and contents of this release and (iii) it has entered into this release freely and without any threat or coercion whatsoever and (z) further agrees and covenants not to participate in any action or proceeding against the Company or any Buyer Released Person based upon any of the Released Holder Claims (the “Securityholder Release”).

Thereafter, such holder of Company Securities shall be deemed a Securityholder for all intents and purposes and Schedule 1 shall automatically be updated to include such holder as a Securityholder; provided, however that with respect to the Company Options and Option Shares outstanding at the Effective Time and held by non-executive employees (serving as such as of the Effective Time) that hold Company Options or Option Shares who did not execute this Agreement as of the Effective Time, the Company’s obligation contained in this Section 9.13 shall be limited to best efforts. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall procure and cause all holders of Company Options or Option Shares, in each case, issued after the date of this Agreement, to sign a Joinder, and deposit their Share Transfer Instruments with the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to holders of Company Options or Option Shares who, at the Effective Time, were not executive employees of the Company, such holders shall not be bound by the provisions of Section 11.2(a)(i) through (xi) (whether or not they have agreed to be bound under this Agreement as a Securityholder) with respect to recovery of Losses outside of the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Adjustment Escrow Fund, as long as the total Acquisition Consideration paid or payable to such holders of Company Options and Option Shares does not exceed, in the aggregate, six percent (6.0%) of the Acquisition Consideration paid or payable under this Agreement.
(b)    Asset Sale. In the event that (i) less than one hundred percent (100%) of all Securityholders sign this Agreement or a Joinder or (ii) the Securityholders challenge the proposed purchase of 100% of the Company Securities, and as a result of such event described in clause (i) or (ii), Buyer is unable to secure the purchase of 100% of the Company Securities, despite having used all commercially reasonable efforts, including through an alternative structure available under applicable Israeli Law or the Company’s Articles of Association then in effect (including a “bring along”, forced sale, reverse triangular merger transaction, and execution by proxy reasonably acceptable to Buyer) for acquiring 100% of the Company Securities, then Buyer may (but is not obligated to), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the Closing (mutatis mutandis), (i) elect to structure the Acquisition as a sale by the Company or its Affiliates and purchase by Buyer or its Affiliate of all of the Company’s Nexus Assets, Contracts related to the Business, the Accounts Receivable, and all of the Company’s assets necessary to continue to operate the Business consistent with the Company’s past practices and as then contemplated by the Company and Buyer (collectively, the “Acquired Assets”), and (ii) enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company on substantially the same terms set forth in this Agreement that provides for (A) the Company’s sale and transfer of all of its assets to Buyer in exchange for the Acquisition Consideration (subject to adjustments consistent with those set forth in this Agreement), (B) Buyer’s opportunity to hire Employees, (C) modifications to the post-closing obligations (including the indemnification obligations hereunder), (D) the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Buyer and the Company in implementing such alternative structure to constitute an Adjustment Item, and (E) any additional Tax liability of the Company resulting from such alternative structure for the Acquisition to be borne solely by the Securityholders, excluding for the sake of clarity the reduction of net operating losses and any other tax liability which does not result in the payment of funds to a Tax authority), shall constitute an Adjustment Item.
9.14    Restrictions on Other Share Transfers and Issuances. From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, (a) the Securityholders will not sell, convey, transfer, gift or otherwise dispose of (a “Disposition”) any Shares or other Company Securities held by them, unless (i) such proposed transferee agrees to the terms and provisions of, and to be bound by, this Agreement by executing the Joinder and depositing its Share Transfer Instruments with the Company, pursuant to Section 9.13, and (ii) the Company gives notice to Buyer of each such transfer, and (b) the Company will not issue any Shares or other Company Securities other than (i) issuance of Shares or other Company Securities upon the exercise of Company Options in accordance with the terms
57

The Company shall use best efforts pursuant to the Option Plan to compel the holders of Options Shares to sell their Option Shares to Buyer at Closing pursuant to the “bring along” provisions of the Restated Articles or a forced sale by Applicable Law, if the Parties are relying on the “bring along” provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association or a forced sale by Applicable Law to consummate the Acquisition.
9.15    Escrow Agent. After delivering the Exercise Notice, Buyer shall use best efforts to procure from the Escrow Agent the execution and delivery to the Securityholder Representative of the Escrow Agreement, and the Securityholder Representative shall provide the documentation reasonably required by the Escrow Agent with respect to “Know-Your-Customer” requirements; provided, however, if a Securityholder fails to deliver the documentation reasonably required by the Escrow Agent with respect to “Know-Your-Customer” requirements or the Securityholder Representative fails to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall not be in breach of this Section 9.15 if the Escrow Agent refuses to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement due to such failure.

(viii)    If a Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to or under Sections 11.2(a)(xi) or 11.2(a)(xii) (except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ix) and 11.2(a)(x)), then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Person may recover Losses only from the Securityholder that committed the breach of the representation, warranty, certification or covenant that is the subject of such claim, and then either (A) directly from such Securityholder, or (B) if the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is to be released to the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the extent of the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund that would otherwise be released to such Securityholder; in each case, up to the portion of the Acquisition Consideration paid or payable to such Securityholder (it being clarified that the portion of any
70


indemnifiable amounts derived from the Additional Consideration, which have not been actually paid, shall be treated in the manner set out in Section 3.5(d)).
(ix)    If a Seller Indemnified Person is entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to Section 11.2(b), then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall or shall cause Buyer to pay the amount of such Loss directly to such Seller Indemnified Person by wire transfer of immediately available cash funds to an account designated by such Seller Indemnified Person.
(d)    Objections to Claims for Indemnification. The payment of any amount under Section 11.4(b) shall be delayed pending resolution pursuant to Section 11.4(d) if (i) with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a), the Securityholder Representative shall object to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate in a written statement labeled “Objection Notice” (an “Objection Notice”), and such Objection Notice shall have been received by Buyer prior to 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth (30th) day after its receipt of the Officer’s Certificate, or (ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b), Buyer shall object to the claim made in the Claim Certificate in an Objection Notice, and such Objection Notice shall have been received by the Securityholder Representative prior to 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth (30th) day after its receipt of the Claim Certificate. If the Securityholder Representative (with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)) or Buyer (with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b)) (as applicable, the “Responding Party”) does not object in writing within such 30-day period, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Responding Party that the Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person, as applicable, is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate or Claim Certificate, and payment in respect of such Losses shall thereafter be made in accordance with Section 11.4(b).
(e)    Resolution of Conflicts.
(i)    In case the Responding Party delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 11.4(c), the Securityholder Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Persons with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative and Buyer should so agree, a document setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both the Securityholder Representative and Buyer. To the extent such claim is recoverable from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article XI, the Securityholder Representative and Buyer shall furnish a copy of such signed document to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Payment in respect of such Losses shall thereafter be made in accordance with Section 11.4(b).
(ii)    If no such agreement can be reached before the twentieth (20th) Business Day following delivery of an Objection Notice by the Responding Party or in the event of any dispute arising pursuant to this Article XI, either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Securityholder Representative, on the other hand, may pursue any and all legal remedies available to them under applicable Law in accordance with Section 13.7. Once a final resolution of any dispute in accordance with this Section 11.4(d) is obtained, payment in respect of such Losses shall thereafter be made in accordance with Section 11.4(b) and such final resolution, all subject to Section 11.6.
(f)    Third-Party Claims. If Buyer becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that Buyer reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, Buyer shall notify the Escrow Agent (if the Third Party Claim is made by Buyer or a Buyer Indemnified Person prior to the release of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and may result in a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund) and the Securityholder Representative in writing of such claim, describing in reasonable detail the basis for such Third Party Claim and a brief summary of such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Losses. Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, that, in the event that any claim is settled
71


without the written consent of the Securityholder Representative, such settlement shall not be determinative of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Losses (if any) that a Buyer Indemnified Person may be entitled to as a result of such Third Party Claim. If the Third Party Claim may result in a claim for indemnification, the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Securityholders, shall be entitled, at the Securityholders’ expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Securityholders agree and consent, as a condition of such entitlement of participation, that Buyer’s legal counsel in the Third Party Claim shall not be precluded from representing Buyer as against the Securityholders in the event that the Securityholders dispute the fact or amount of Buyer’s claim of a Loss related to such matter. In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented in writing to any such settlement, the Securityholders shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any Third Party Claim payable by Buyer pursuant to such settlement.
11.5    Securityholder Representative.
(a)    By virtue of the approval of the Buyer Option and the Acquisition and by virtue of each Securityholder’s execution of this Agreement, each of the Securityholders shall be deemed to have agreed to irrevocably appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC as its true, exclusive, and lawful representative, agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Securityholder Representative for and on behalf of the Securityholders, to take all actions in connection with this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto that are to be taken by the Securityholder Representative, including to amend this Agreement, to waive any provision of this Agreement, to take actions necessary to give effect to the Acquisition, to negotiate payments due pursuant to this Article XI, to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Buyer Indemnified Person from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Buyer Indemnified Person, to authorize payment to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Fund, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any other claim by any Buyer Indemnified Person against any of the Securityholders or by any of the Securityholders against any Buyer Indemnified Person or any dispute between any Buyer Indemnified Person and any of the Securityholders, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement, in each case subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 11.5 or otherwise in this Agreement and in accordance with the terms hereof, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC hereby accepts such appointment. This appointment shall survive the death, incapacity, adjudication of incompetence or insanity or dissolution or bankruptcy, of any Securityholder. Such agency may be changed by the Securityholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless Securityholders representing the holders of at least a two-thirds interest of the Indemnity Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative, the role shall be temporarily filled by the Securityholder holding a majority in interest of the Indemnity Escrow Fund. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time upon the delivery of at least ten (10) days written notice to the Securityholders. In the event a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative exists for thirty (30) or more days or the Securityholder Representative breaches or fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement (after a 30 calendar day advance notice period to cure, which period shall not apply in exigent circumstances), Buyer shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a replacement Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services from Buyer. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from all the Securityholders.
72


(b)    Each of the Securityholders represents and warrants to Buyer and to the Escrow Agent that the Securityholder Representative has the irrevocable, absolute and unconditional right, power and authority (i) to bind such Securityholder pursuant to terms of this Agreement, (ii) to give and receive directions and notices hereunder on behalf of such Securityholder and (iii) to make all determinations on behalf of such Securityholder that may be required or that it deems appropriate under this Agreement; in each case in its capacity as the Securityholder Representative hereunder, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(c)    Until notified in writing by the Securityholder Representative that it has resigned, or that it has been removed by the requisite majority in interest of the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the term of clause (a) above, Buyer and the Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and act upon the directions, instructions and notices of the Securityholder Representative named above and, thereafter, upon the directions, instructions and notices of any successor named in a writing executed by the requisite majority-in-interest of the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the term of clause (a) above, filed with the Escrow Agent or a successor appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, which actions (or failures to act), directions, instructions and notices shall be conclusive and binding on all the Securityholders, in each case subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 11.5 or otherwise in this Agreement, and Buyer shall not have any liability of any kind or nature to any Securityholders in reliance thereon.
(d)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securityholders each hereby authorize the Securityholder Representative to, in each case subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 11.5 or otherwise in this Agreement:
(i)    Receive all notices or documents given or to be given to the Securityholders pursuant hereto or in connection herewith and to receive and file pleadings on behalf of the Securityholders in connection with any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Securityholders acknowledge and agree that even if Securityholder Representative is unable, unwilling, refuses, resists or objects to receiving notice, notice with respect to each of the Securityholders shall be effective if made pursuant to Section 13.1;
(ii)    Engage counsel, and such accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement as the Securityholder Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; and
(iii)    Take such action as the Securityholder Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate in respect of: (A) waiving any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; (B) taking such other action as the Securityholder Representative is authorized to take under this Agreement; (C) receiving all documents or certificates and making all determinations, in its capacity as Securityholder Representative, required under this Agreement; and (D) all such actions as may be necessary to carry out any of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in its capacity as Securityholder Representative, including the prosecution, defense and/or settlement of all indemnification disputes (including hiring counsel and other litigation assistance), and any claims for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article XI;
(e)    A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, in its capacity as Securityholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of all the Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Securityholders, in each case subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 11.5 or otherwise in this Agreement; and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of all the Securityholders. The Escrow Agent and Buyer
73


are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative.
(f)    The Securityholders shall, severally and not jointly, in accordance with each Securityholder’s ratable share, based on the Pro Rata Portion, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Securityholder 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 Securityholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred by the Securityholder Representative; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Securityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund (ii) the amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, but only if and when required to be distributed to the Securityholders, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Securityholder Representative to the Escrow Agent (the “Distributable Funds”); and (iii) from any Additional Consideration Amount at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Securityholders; provided, that while this Section 11.5 allows the Securityholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this Section 11.5 does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such remaining Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative under this Section 11.5. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(g)    The Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. The Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder 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 make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Securityholders at the time of Closing. Any remaining funds in the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund not used by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement will be delivered to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions of the Acquisition Consideration. The Securityholder Representative shall have the right to retain the Securityholder Representative’s Reserve Fund for as long as the Securityholder Representative deems necessary to discharge its duties hereunder.
74


(h)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative (in such capacity) shall not be liable to the Securityholders or the Company for any act done or omitted in connection with the Securityholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, unless caused by its, his or her willful misconduct or fraud; provided, that with respect to the Company, this sentence shall apply only with respect to services provided by the Securityholder Representative on or prior to the Closing; provided further, that in all questions arising in respect of any matter hereunder, the Securityholder Representative may rely on the advice of counsel and any action based upon such reliance shall relieve the Securityholder Representative of any Liabilities to the Securityholders hereunder.
11.6    Limitations on Indemnification; Maximum Payments; Remedy.
(a)    Except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ix) and 11.2(a)(x) or as otherwise provided in Sections 11.4(b), 11.6(b) and 11.6(c), the maximum amount of Losses a Buyer Indemnified Person may recover from the Securityholders pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) or 11.2(a)(xi) shall be limited to the amounts comprising the Indemnity Escrow Fund plus the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund distributed to any Buyer Indemnified Person from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to satisfy Losses based on a breach or inaccuracy of a Tier II Fundamental Representation and/or Tier III Fundamental Representation pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) or 11.2(a)(xi).
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 11.6(a) and except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ix) and 11.2(a)(x), (i) the maximum amount a Buyer Indemnified Person may recover from a Securityholder in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Tier II Fundamental Representations pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) shall be limited in the aggregate, to its Pro Rata Portion of the Tier II Fundamental Representations Liability Cap, and (ii) the maximum amount a Buyer Indemnified Person may recover from a Securityholder in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Tier III Fundamental Representations pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to its Pro Rata Portion of the Tier III Fundamental Representations Liability Cap.
(c)    Notwithstanding Section 11.6(a) and except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(x), (i) the maximum amount a Buyer Indemnified Person may recover from a Securityholder in respect of (A) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Tier I Fundamental Representations pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) and 11.2(a)(xi) or (B) pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ii) through Section 11.2(a)(ix) and Section 11.2(a)(xi) through Section 11.2(a)(xii) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the portion of Acquisition Consideration paid or payable to such Securityholder (it being clarified that the portion of any indemnifiable amounts derived from the Additional Consideration, which have not been actually paid, shall be treated in the manner set out in Section 3.5(d)), and (ii) the maximum amount Seller Indemnified Persons may recover from Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(i) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Article VIII, or pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(ii), shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the amount of the Acquisition Consideration actually paid to the Securityholders.
(d)    Except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(x), each Securityholder’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) through 11.2(a)(ix) shall be several and not joint, in accordance with such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Acquisition Consideration paid or payable to such Securityholder (it being clarified that the portion of any indemnifiable amounts derived from the Additional Consideration, which have not been actually paid, shall be treated in the manner set out in Section 3.5(d)), subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and not joint and several with respect to Losses. Except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(x) or indemnification with respect to Losses pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(xi) or 11.2(a)(xii), a Buyer Indemnified Person’s right to recover Losses from the Securityholder or Securityholders shall be limited to such Securityholder’s or such Securityholders’ Pro Rata Portion of the
75


amount of the Losses. Except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(x), a Buyer Indemnified Person’s right to recover Losses pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(xi) from a Securityholder or Securityholders whose breach or inaccuracy triggered the right to indemnification under such section shall be limited as specified in Section 11.6(a), 11.6(b), or 11.6(c), as applicable. Except for indemnification for fraud pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(x), the Securityholders’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(i) through 11.2(a)(ix) and Sections 11.2(a)(xi) and 11.2(a)(xii) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Acquisition Consideration paid or payable under this Agreement (it being clarified that the portion of any indemnifiable amounts derived from the Additional Consideration, which have not been actually paid, shall be treated in the manner set out in Section 3.5(d)). It is clarified that, in respect of Losses paid, incurred or sustained, arising out of, resulting from or related to the matters described in Section 11.2(a)(x), nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of the Securityholder or Securityholders that committed the fraud that is the subject of such claim.
(e)    Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Article XI, the amount of such Losses will be determined (i) net of any amounts actually recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Person under insurance policies (the “Recovered Proceeds”) and (ii) so as to exclude a duplicative recovery of amounts reflected in the calculation of Initial Working Capital, Updated Working Capital and Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment or Third Party Transaction Expenses, Excess Third Party Transaction Expenses, Adjustment Items, Excess Adjustment Items, Company Debt and Excess Company Debt. In the event that any Recovered Proceeds are received by a Buyer Indemnified Person after payment for the related indemnification claim has been made pursuant to this Article XI, then the Indemnified Person shall pay to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Acquisition Consideration received by them, with respect to Recovered Proceeds that relate to Losses recovered out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, or to the applicable Securityholder, to the extent relate to Losses recovered from it directly pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(x), 11.2(a)(xi), and 11.2(a)(xii), an amount equal to the amount of the reduction in Losses that would have been applied pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11.6(e) had such Recovered Proceeds been received at the time such indemnification claim was made. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.
(f)    In the event any claim for indemnification may be made under alternative subsections of the provisions of Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), the limitations applicable to one subsection shall not preclude or limit indemnification pursuant to an alternative subsection. For clarification and as an example, a Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) to recover Losses for a breach of a representation and warranty in Article VI and, if such breach is fraud, additional Losses pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(ix).
11.7    Purchase Price Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of any person as indemnification under this Agreement shall be treated for all purposes as adjustments to the Acquisition Consideration, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.
11.8    Sole Remedy. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing, the Parties agree that (a) their rights and remedies with respect to the Buyer Loan will be as provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Debenture, and the Subordination Agreement, (b) their rights and remedies with respect to the rights granted under the Distribution Agreement shall be as provided pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, and (c) their rights and remedies with respect to this Agreement will be (i) injunctive or other equitable relief under this Agreement, (ii) contractual damages arising under this Agreement, (iii) remedies for fraud, and (iv) such other rights and remedies as may exist at law or in equity. For purposes of clarity, the sole remedy of the Distributor (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) with respect to termination of the Distribution Agreement by the Distributor under Section 10.2 (“Termination for Cause”) of the Distribution Agreement (except for a termination for uncured “Material Breach” under Section 10.2.1(a) of the Distribution Agreement or a “Force Majeure” under Section 10.2.1(d) of the
76


Distribution Agreement), shall be the Termination Fee (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) if paid pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, subject to the Distributor’s ability to obtain other remedies pursuant to Sections 2.3 (“Acceptance of Purchase Orders”), 2.9 (“Product Warranty”), and 8 (“Indemnification”) of the Distribution Agreement. From and following the Closing, the Parties agree that, except for (i) the availability of injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) the provisions of Article IV and (iii) fraud, the rights to indemnification under this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy that any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person will have in connection with this Agreement.
11.9    Termination.
(a)    This Agreement and the Buyer Option may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(i)    With the mutual written consent of each of the Company and Buyer;
(ii)    By the Company, if Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or if any of Buyer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement are inaccurate, which breach, failure to perform, or inaccuracy (A) would give rise, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.3 and (B) has not been or is incapable of being cured by such Party prior to the earlier of the (x) the expiration of the Option Period (the “Option Termination Date”) and (y) thirtieth (30th) calendar day after such Party’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Company;
(iii)    By Buyer, if the Company or the Securityholders shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or if any of the Company’s or the Securityholders’ respective representations and warranties in this Agreement are inaccurate, which breach, failure to perform, or inaccuracy (A) would give rise, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.2 and (B) has not been or is incapable of being cured by the Company prior to the earlier of the (x) the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after Option Termination Date and (y) thirtieth (30th) calendar day after its receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer; or
(iv)    By either the Company or Buyer, if (i) any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and which has the effect of making the Acquisition illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Acquisition; or (ii) any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Acquisition shall then be in effect, or any proceeding brought by any Governmental Authority, seeking any of the foregoing shall be then threatened or pending (a “Governmental Authority Restriction”); provided, however, that if such Governmental Authority Restriction pertains to the purchase of 100% of the Company Securities by Buyer, and Buyer elects to structure the Acquisition as a sale by the Company or its Affiliates and purchase by Buyer or its Affiliate of the Acquired Assets, and in such structure Governmental Authority Restriction does not apply, then the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on the grounds of such Governmental Authority Restriction.
(v)    By Buyer, if the term of the Distribution Agreement has expired or the Distribution Agreement is otherwise terminated by JOTEC GmbH (or any other party defined as Distributor thereunder) as provided in Section 10.4.3 of the Distribution Agreement.
(vi)    By the Company, if Buyer has failed to make the Initial Loan Tranche and/or any other tranche of the Buyer Loan when due pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
77


(vii)    By the Company, if after Buyer’s delivery of the Exercise Notice, all conditions under Section 10.2 have been satisfied or waived, other than under Section 10.2(a) and/or Section 10.2(i) and Buyer has refused to close the Acquisition solely due to the existence of a breach of a representation or warranty which was not intentionally breached by the Company and/or the existence of Company Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), and a period of at least one hundred and twenty (120) days has lapsed since all other conditions to Closing of the Company and the Securityholders have been satisfied or waived and that the Company and the Securityholders are ready, willing and able to close the Acquisition; provided, however, that if the matters for which Buyer has refused to consummate the Acquisition are reasonably likely to be cured within thirty (30) days of the last day of such 120-day period, then the Company’s right to terminate the Agreement shall be delayed until five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Company demonstrates to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that such matter was cured.

In the event delivery of notices or other communications hereunder under any of the methods described above is not effective as a result of a change of contact information for the applicable Party, which was not properly noticed to the Party seeking to deliver a notice or other communication, or as a result of the discontinuation of service at the applicable e-mail address of facsimile number, then the time period for delivering such notice or other communication shall automatically be extended as long as the Party seeking to provide such notice or other communication demonstrates that they attempted to use the methods set forth above to deliver notice to the Party to whom such notice or other communication was to be sent on a timely basis, with such extension to apply as long as the Party seeking to provide notice or other communications is using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative contact information and provide such notice or other communication.
13.2    Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except for the section references or headings in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, the table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference to any Law, shall include any amendments thereto from time to time, and/or any regulations or directives promulgated thereunder.
13.3    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same Contract and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.
13.4    Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Related Agreements, the exhibits and schedules to this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Distribution Agreement and the Loan Agreement: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the consent of the Parties; provided, however, Buyer may assign this Agreement and any of the Related Agreements to which Buyer is a party to an Affiliate of Buyer or provide a collateral assignment of this Agreement and any of the Related Agreements to the Financing Sources; provided further that no such assignment by Buyer will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder; and provided further that the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and such respective permitted successors and assigns.
13.5    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
13.6    Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Any and all remedies in this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred in this Agreement, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one
80


remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled hereunder, at law or in equity, pursuant and subject to Section 11.8 (Sole Remedy).
13.7    Governing Law; Venue; Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents to and submits, for itself and its assets and properties, to the exclusive jurisdiction (including personal jurisdiction) and venue of any court within the State of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated in this Agreement, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the Laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process; provided, however, that each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents, submits and agrees that, at the sole discretion of Buyer, jurisdiction (including personal jurisdiction) and venue may be expanded to include any competent court within the district of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in the State of Israel in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated in this Agreement so as to permit Buyer to bring any proceeding or other action in connection with this Agreement or the matters contemplated in this Agreement, or to enforce any judgment obtained in connection with this Agreement, within any competent court within the district of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in the State of Israel. Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.1. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT SUCH PARTY SHALL NOT BRING OR SUPPORT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR ACTION OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, AGAINST ANY MEMBER OF THE FINANCING GROUP IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING THE FINANCING), INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR IF UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IS VESTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (AND THE APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF). EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR ACTION, (ii) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO VENUE OR TO AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (iii) AGREES THAT ALL SUCH DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND ACTIONS SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED ONLY IN SUCH COURTS AND (iv) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
13.8    Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in a Contract or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such Contract or document. Each of the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule, the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, the Updated Company Disclosure
81


Schedule, and the Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part of such disclosure schedule shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section in this Agreement, and any other representation or warranty that is contained in the same Article of this Agreement to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face (without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed or any reference to any underlying document) to such other representation or warranty. A subsection of such disclosure schedule may qualify the corresponding numbered or lettered section or subsection in this Agreement even if this Agreement does not contain any reference to such section or subsection of a disclosure schedule. Nothing in the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule, the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, the Updated Company Disclosure Schedule, or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule, the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule, the Updated Company Disclosure Schedule, or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail unless reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure, and such disclosure is true and correct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself or the relevance of such document or item is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure). The Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule shall be solely for purposes of qualifying the Company’s representations and warranties in Article VII as of the Closing Date. Except to the extent in compliance with this Section 13.8 or disclosed in in the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule, the Updated Company Disclosure shall be limited to facts and circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement and shall not operate to cure any breach or inaccuracy based on incorrect or incomplete information provided in the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule); provided, however, that the Updated Company Disclosure Schedule may include disclosure of facts and circumstances that existed on the date of this Agreement solely for informational purposes and only with respect to information that should have been disclosed on the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule but the Company failed to do so. Buyer shall have the ability to update the Buyer Disclosure Schedule for purposes of disclosing any facts and circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such update shall be limited to facts and circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement and shall not operate to cure any breach or inaccuracy based on incorrect or incomplete information provided in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the terms “delivered to Buyer” or “made available to Buyer” or similar phrases will mean that the Company has posted true, complete and accurate copies of such materials to the electronic data room maintained by the Company at the folder titled “Project Epic”, located at https://datasiteone.merrillcorp.com/manda/project/5ce47ddf69765e0010c5e446/content/index/mode/index and has given Buyer and each of their representatives access to the materials so posted not less than (i) as to the materials referenced in the Initial Company Disclosure Schedule, two (2) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (ii) as to the materials referenced in the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule or the Updated Company Disclosure Schedule, concurrently with the delivery of the Supplemental Company Disclosure Schedule or the Updated Company Disclosure Schedule. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained in this Agreement shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. In addition, except as explicitly stated in this Agreement, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any purchase price adjustment as a result of the application of any provision of this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any of the other Contracts contemplated in this Agreement or the Related Agreements does not prejudice in any respect whatsoever any Person’s rights to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement, the
82


Related Agreements or any other Contracts contemplated in this Agreement or the Related Agreements; provided, however, that any such Losses shall be net of any negative purchase price adjustments resulting from the calculation of (A) Initial Working Capital, Updated Working Capital and Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment or (B) Third Party Transaction Expenses, Excess Third Party Transaction Expenses, Adjustment Items, Excess Adjustment Items, Company Debt, and Excess Company Debt. All references to dollars or “$” shall refer to United States Dollars unless otherwise indicated. All references to NIS shall refer to the Israeli new shekel unless otherwise indicated.    Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, cash payments made by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement first will be calculated in United States Dollars. The Closing Consideration shall be paid to the Paying Agent in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
13.9    Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Section 9.10(a) and Article XI relating to the Buyer Indemnified Persons, Seller Indemnified Persons and the Securityholders, and the immediately following proviso, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that each agent, arranger, bookrunner, lender, letter of credit issuer or other financing party that is a party to the Commitment Letter (including the Financing Sources), any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Financing Group”) is an intended third-party beneficiary of (i) any liability cap or other limitation on remedies or damages in this Agreement that are for the benefit of Buyer, and (ii) the provisions of Section 13.4 (Entire Agreement; Assignment), Section 13.6 (Other Remedies; Specific Performance), Section 13.7 (Governing Law; Venue; Jury Trial Waiver), this Section 13.10 (Third Party Beneficiaries), and Section 13.11 (No Recourse; Certain Limitations on Remedies), and each such Section will be enforceable by each member of the Financing Group, and none of such Sections may be amended, modified or supplemented without the express written consent of a majority in interest of the Financing Sources.
13.10    No Recourse; Certain Limitations on Remedies.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no member of the Financing Group shall have any liability to the Company or the Securityholders for any obligation or liability, or for any claim for any loss suffered as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement or the Commitment Letter, or any document related thereto (including any willful breach thereof) or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral or written representation made or alleged to have been made, in connection herewith or therewith, whether at equity, at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise. In no event shall any member of the Financing Group have liability to the Company or any Securityholder under this Agreement for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages or for any damages of a tortious nature.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and each of the Securityholders acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither the Company nor the Securityholders derive any contractual rights, whether as third party beneficiary or otherwise, under the Commitment Letter and will not be entitled to enforce the Commitment Letter against any member of the Financing Group, (ii) the Company and each Securityholder waives and agrees not to pursue any claim (including any claim under contracts, any claim in tort and any claim for specific performance) it may have against any member of the Financing Group with respect to the failure of the Financing to close, (iii) no member of the Financing Group shall have any liability to the Company or any of the Securityholders hereunder, and (iv) the members of the Financing Group will have no obligation to provide any Financing except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter.
