Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 16, 2021, comScore, Inc. (the "Parent") and two newly formed, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Shareablee, Inc. (the "Company"), two newly formed, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 16, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions") were initiated and, as of the respective effective times of the Transactions, the Parent will acquire the Company for a total purchase price of up to $45.0 million, subject to certain adjustments and achievement of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
At closing, the aggregate consideration payable to the former holders of the Company's capital stock and warrant, and underlying certain equity awards that are to be assumed by the Parent, was approximately 9.0 million shares of the Parent's common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable at closing was determined by dividing (x) $36.4 million, plus the exercise price of options that are to be assumed by the Parent, less an estimated working capital adjustment, by (y) a price per share of Parent's common stock of $4.12. The closing price of Parent's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 16, 2021 was $3.14 per share.
Certain former holders of the Company's capital stock, warrant and equity award holders (the "Deferred Holders") may also receive up to an aggregate of $8.6 million of deferred consideration (the "Deferred Amount") over three years after closing of the Transactions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Deferred Amount is payable, at the Parent's option, in any combination of cash and the Parent's common stock, with any issuance of common stock to be based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Parent's common stock for the ten (10) full trading days ending on and including the last business day prior to the applicable date of release of the Deferred Amount.
Following the First Release Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which shall be no earlier than the first anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, the Parent will pay or issue (i) to each of the Deferred Holders (other than the Company's founder and former Chief Executive Officer, Tania Yuki), 50% of their pro rata share of the Deferred Amount and (ii) to Tania Yuki, 33% of her pro rata share of the Deferred Amount. Following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent will pay or issue (i) to each of the Deferred Holders (other than Tania Yuki), 50% of their pro rata share of the Deferred Amount and (ii) to Tania Yuki, 33% of her pro rata share of the Deferred Amount. Following the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent will pay or issue to Tania Yuki, 33% of her pro rata share of the Deferred Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if certain contractual consents are not received within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, payment of the Deferred Amount shall be subject to additional performance conditions (based on achievement of specified revenue targets) and the Deferred Amount shall be earned or reduced in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement. Any payment or issuance of any Deferred Amount will be reduced by the amounts of any losses alleged under any outstanding indemnification claims at such time, and Tania Yuki will forfeit any rights to the Deferred Amount upon any material breach of her non-competition and non-solicitation agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions, in each case subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The former holders of the Company's capital stock and warrant are not permitted to transfer, directly or indirectly, any of the shares of the Parent's common stock (other than shares issued with respect to the Deferred Amount) acquired by such holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, other than (i) with respect to each such former holder of the Company's capital stock other than Tania Yuki, (A) 35% following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) an additional 50% following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (C) the remaining 15% following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) with respect to Tania Yuki, (A) 25% following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) an additional 25% following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (C) an additional 25% following the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (D) the remaining twenty five percent (25%) following the (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) with respect to the former holder of the Company’s warrant, 100% following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Deferred Holders are not permitted to transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares issued with respect to the Deferred Amount until the six (6) month anniversary of receipt of any such shares. The transfer restrictions are subject to customary exceptions for affiliate transfers, bona fide estate planning, and transfers to cover applicable taxes.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants and agreements of the parties, and the consummation of the Transactions was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing deliverables, including, among others, execution of an employee non-competition and non-solicitation agreement by certain key employees of the Company. The Merger Agreement also contains customary indemnification obligations of each of the parties, subject to certain qualifications and thresholds as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Itzhak Fisher, a member of the Parent's board of directors, is a former director, stockholder and equity award holder of the Company. Mr. Fisher is entitled to receive less than 3% of the aggregate consideration payable under the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The description of the Transactions provided under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
At closing of the Transactions, the aggregate consideration payable to the former holders of the Company's capital stock and warrant, and underlying certain equity awards that are to be assumed by the Parent, was approximately 9.0 million shares of the Parent's common stock.
The Parent may also elect to issue up to $8.6 million of additional shares of the Parent's common stock with respect to the Deferred Amount (to the extent earned), based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Parent's common stock for the ten (10) full trading days ending on and including the last business day prior to the applicable date of release of the Deferred Amount.
The issuance of securities to the former holders of the Company's capital stock and warrant was made, or will be made, in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 17, 2021, the Parent issued a press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

2.3.Effect of the Combination Transactions on the Treatment of Equity Awards of the Company and Shareablee Holdco.
(a)Treatment of Company Equity Awards.
(i)Prior to the Shareablee Merger Effective Time, and subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Article II under the applicable Company Equity Plan and any Contract applicable to any Company Option and any Company RSU Award (whether written or oral, formal or informal), including delivering all required notices, obtaining all necessary approvals and consents, making all necessary assignments, and delivering evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that all necessary determinations by the Company Board or applicable committee of the Company Board to terminate all Company Options and Company RSU Awards (to the extent not assumed or converted as set forth in this Article II) in accordance with Section 2.3(b) have been made. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company will not immediately prior to the Shareablee Merger Effective Time be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, warrants or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Shareablee Merger Surviving Corporation or Final Surviving Company, or to receive any payment in respect thereof.
(ii)At the Shareablee Merger Effective Time, each Company Option and Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Shareablee Merger Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Shareablee Merger and without further action by the holder thereof, be converted into an award of the same type with respect to Shareablee Holdco on a one-for-one basis (with the same terms and exercise price, if applicable) and, following such conversion, shall be referred to as “Shareablee Holdco Options” and “Shareablee Holdco RSU Awards,” as applicable.
(b)Treatment of Shareablee Holdco Equity Awards.
(i)At the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Shareablee Holdco Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any further action by Parent, Parent Holdco LLC, Shareablee Holdco or the holder thereof, be, in Parent’s sole discretion, assumed by Parent and converted into, (I) a stock option of Parent that represents the right to acquire a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Shareablee Holdco Common Stock subject to such Shareablee Holdco Option immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Fully Diluted Share Closing Consideration (each, a “Converted Option”, and collectively, the “Converted Options”); provided, that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and (II) the contingent right to receive subject to Article VII and in accordance with Section 2.6, the Per Share First Deferred Amount and the Per Share Second Deferred Amount, and, if applicable, the Per Share Third Deferred Amount. Following the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Converted Option shall continue to be governed by the same material terms and conditions, including the vesting schedule, as were applicable immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time to the Shareablee Holdco Option from which it was
5


converted or for which it is a substitute, in all cases subject to restrictions related to the issuance of shares under applicable Law; provided, however, that no Converted Option may be “early exercised” (i.e., each Converted Option may be exercised for shares of Parent Common Stock only to the extent the Converted Option is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule). The exercise price of each Converted Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price of the Shareablee Holdco Option from which it was converted or for which it is a substitute, divided by (y) the Per Fully Diluted Share Closing Consideration, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is the intention of the Parties that the adjustments in this Section 2.3(b)(i) be performed in a manner that complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code.
(ii)At the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Shareablee Holdco RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any further action by Parent, Parent Holdco LLC, Shareablee Holdco or the holder thereof, be, in Parent’s sole discretion, assumed by Parent and converted into, (I) a restricted stock unit of Parent covering a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Shareablee Holdco Common Stock subject to such Shareablee Holdco RSU Award immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Fully Diluted Share Closing Consideration (each, a “Converted RSU Award”, and collectively, the “Converted RSU Awards”); provided, that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and (II) the contingent right to receive subject to Article VII and in accordance with Section 2.6, the Per Share First Deferred Amount and the Per Share Second Deferred Amount, and, if applicable, the Per Share Third Deferred Amount. Following the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Converted RSU Award shall continue to be governed by the same material terms and conditions, including the vesting schedule, as were applicable immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time to the Shareablee Holdco RSU Award from which it was converted or for which it is a substitute, in all cases subject to restrictions related to the issuance of shares under applicable Law.
(iii)In connection with the Combination Transactions, Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of such Converted Options and settlement of such Converted RSU Awards. With respect to the Converted Options and the Converted RSU Awards, Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) relating to the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of such Converted Options and settlement of such Converted RSU Awards as promptly as possible following the Closing Date and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with SEC reporting and other requirements necessary to keep the Form S-8 effective until all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of such Converted Options and the settlement of such Converted RSU Awards have been issued thereunder. Shares of Parent Common Stock that may become issuable pursuant to the exercise of such Converted Options and the settlement of such Converted RSU Awards and that at the time of such exercise or settlement, as applicable, are registered under an effective Form S-8 shall not constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and shall not bear the Restrictive Legends set forth in Section 5.4(b).
(c)Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the receipt of any applicable stockholder approval required by applicable listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed, Parent shall not, under any circumstances, be required to deliver more than 19.99% of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (such limitation, the “Conversion Cap”); provided, that if Parent would at any time be required to deliver hereunder (assuming all amounts payable hereunder are satisfied in shares of Parent Common Stock) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock exceeding the Conversion Cap but for the preceding sentence, Parent shall, at its option, (i) hold a meeting of its stockholders and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders for such issuance in accordance with then-applicable stock exchange rules, or (ii) in lieu of delivering shares of Parent Common Stock in excess of the Conversion Cap (or upon a failure to obtain such approval), pay cash.
2.4.Allocation Schedule.
(a)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a spreadsheet (the “Allocation Schedule”), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, which Allocation Schedule shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall set forth all of the information (in addition to the other required data and information specified therein) set forth on Schedule B hereto, as of immediately prior to the Closing.
6


(b)The Allocation Schedule shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for the calculations contained therein. The Company shall make available to Parent and its Representatives the work papers (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and other books and records used in preparing the Allocation Schedule and reasonable access to employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Allocation Schedule, and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives’ review and shall take into consideration in good faith any comments of Parent on the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in the Allocation Schedule, as applicable.
(c)Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, prior to any subsequent post-Closing distributions, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Schedule promptly following a request by Parent, and Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Allocation Schedule or an updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Stockholder Representative, as applicable for all purposes hereof; provided, that the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the initial Allocation Schedule prepared by the Company in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s preparation and delivery of any updated Allocation Schedule.
(d)In no event will Parent, the Exchange Agent or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of issuances of Parent Common Stock or payments or distributions made in accordance with the Allocation Schedule or an updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Stockholder Representative, as applicable. Parent, the Exchange Agent or any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Allocation Schedule for purposes of this Agreement, including the issuance of any shares of Parent Common Stock as part of consideration for the Combination Transactions.
2.5.Surrender and Share Issuance Procedures.
(a)At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), the Allocation Schedule. At the Closing, Parent shall send, or cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Stockholder and the Company Warrantholder pursuant to the Allocation Schedule, a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and the Exchange Documentation applicable to such holder.
(b)Subject to Section 2.5(a), as promptly as practicable following receipt by the Exchange Agent of a Letter of Transmittal and applicable Exchange Documentation from a Company Stockholder or the Company Warrantholder, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any certificate with respect to any Company Capital Stock held by such Person in accordance with the procedures of the Exchange Agent), but for the avoidance of doubt in no event prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue, in accordance with Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.2(b), as applicable, to (i) each Shareablee Holdco Series A-2 Preferred Stockholder, the Per Share Series A-2 Consideration and (ii) each As-Converted Stockholder, the Per Fully Diluted Share Closing Consideration, in each case as set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Allocation Schedule.
(c)Subject to Section 2.5(a), in the event a Shareablee Holdco Stockholder is unable, under applicable Law, to provide the Suitability Documentation because such Person is not an Accredited Investor, following receipt by the Exchange Agent of a Letter of Transmittal and applicable Exchange Documentation from such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, but for the avoidance of doubt in no event prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, Parent shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.1(d), an amount in cash equal to such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder’s Per Fully Diluted Share Closing Consideration, as set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Allocation Schedule based on the Parent Stock Price.
(d)At any time following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder shall be entitled to look only to Parent as general creditors thereof with respect to any and all consideration that may be payable to such holders upon the due surrender of duly executed Exchange Documentation (if any) in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(a).
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, none of Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Shareablee Merger Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Company nor any Party
7


shall be liable to any Person for any amount paid to a public official or Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Total Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed immediately prior to the date on which it would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
2.6.Deferred Amount.
(a)In connection with the Closing, Parent shall reserve for issuance, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Deferred Amount (assuming solely for purposes of such reservation that the Deferred Amount shall be paid entirely in shares of Parent Common Stock and using the Parent Stock Price as of the Closing Date to determine the number of shares to reserve); provided, that Parent reserves the right to satisfy any and all obligations of Parent to the Deferred Amount Holders with respect to the Deferred Amount in cash at its election. The Deferred Amount shall become payable to the Deferred Amount Holders, if at all, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that, Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Deferred Amount until and to the extent issued or paid to the Deferred Amount Holders.
(b)Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (Section 2.6(e) and Article VII, and solely in the case of Tania Yuki Mustapic, subject to Section 2.6(c)), as promptly as practicable following (i) the First Release Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, issue or pay to each Deferred Amount Holder all or the applicable portion (which may be zero), as applicable, of the Per Share First Deferred Amount applicable to such Deferred Amount Holder in accordance with such Deferred Amount Holder’s Pro Rata Share, (ii) the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, issue or pay to each Deferred Amount Holder all or the applicable portion (which may be zero), as applicable, of the Per Share Second Deferred Amount applicable to such Deferred Amount Holder in accordance with such Deferred Amount Holder’s Pro Rata Share, and (iii) the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, issue to Tania Yuki Mustapic all or the applicable portion (which may be zero) of the Per Share Third Deferred Amount applicable to Tania Yuki Mustapic in accordance with Tania Yuki Mustapic’s Pro Rata Share (as applicable in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Release Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment or issuance of any Deferred Amount shall be reduced by the amounts of any Losses alleged under any outstanding Liability Claim or Third Party Claim as of the applicable Release Date (and if such Deferred Amount is elected by Parent to be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement, each share of Parent Common Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Price as of the applicable Release Date); provided Parent shall, in accordance with this Section 2.6(b), promptly pay or issue (and if such Deferred Amount is elected by Parent to be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement, each share of Parent Common Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Price as of the applicable Release Date) the amount by which the applicable Deferred Amount was reduced if and to the extent the alleged Losses underlying such outstanding Liability Claim or Third Party Claim are finally determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction not to be actual Losses of the Parent Indemnified Parties in accordance with Article VII.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.6(b), Parent’s obligation to pay or issue the Deferred Amount to Tania Yuki Mustapic shall immediately terminate, and Tania Yuki Mustapic agrees to forfeit any rights she may have with respect to the Deferred Amount, upon any material breach of the Stockholder Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement alleged by Parent in good faith (which is not cured within ten (10) Business Days following Tania Yuki Mustapic’s receipt of written notice thereof; provided if Tania Yuki Mustapic is pursuing the cure of such alleged material breach in good faith at the expiration of such cure period, then such cure period shall be extended by ten (10) additional Business Days). If Tania Yuki Mustapic is finally determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction not to be in breach of the Stockholder Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement or Parent withdraws the allegation of breach in full, Parent shall, in accordance with Section 2.6(b), promptly pay or issue (and if such Deferred Amount is elected by Parent to be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement, each share of Parent Common Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Price as of the applicable Release Date) to Tania Yuki Mustapic the amount deemed forfeited pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to the ninety (90) day anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Outside Delivery Date”), either (x) Parent has not received all of the
8


Approved Data Consents or (y) all communications from the Data Partners questioning or raising concerns about the Company’s use of such Data Partner’s data, in any case that were raised prior to the Closing or were raised (whether prior to or after Closing) in connection with an audit initiated prior to the Closing, have not been fully remediated or resolved, the following shall apply:
(i)As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year ended December 31, 2022, Parent shall prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to the Stockholder Representative a statement setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of Revenue, together with a determination of the Reduction Amount (the “2022 Statement”). Parent shall prepare such 2022 Statement in good faith and in accordance with Parent’s normal and customary accounting methods, but subject to Schedule E and Schedule F.
(ii)During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the 2022 Statement, Parent shall make available to the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the 2022 Statement (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and provide reasonable access (on prior written notice and during business hours) to employees of Parent as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request in connection with its review of the 2022 Statement, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in good faith with the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives in their review of the 2022 Statement. The 2022 Statement, including the determination of the Reduction Amount set forth therein, shall be final and binding on the Parties unless the Stockholder Representative delivers an objection notice in writing to Parent within thirty (30) days following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the 2022 Statement (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail its objection(s) to the 2022 Statement and the Stockholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the 2022 Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, including the proposed calculation of the Reduction Amount.
(iii)During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of an Objection Notice, if any, Parent and the Stockholder Representative agree to seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Objection Notice. If at the end of the thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Objection Notice, Parent and Stockholder Representative shall refer any unresolved differences to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall make a final determination as to referred unresolved differences within thirty (30) days after its engagement. In resolving any referred unresolved differences, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value greater than the highest value nor less than the lowest value for such referred unresolved difference claimed by either Party. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on presentation by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (i.e. not an independent review) and on the terms in this Agreement that are relevant to the calculation of the disputed item. The final determination of the Independent Accountant of the 2022 Statement, including the Reduction Amount, shall be binding on all Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Deferred Amount Holders) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the referred unresolved differences covered by such Objection Notice (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of such referred unresolved differences as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant (for example, if the total amount of such referred unresolved differences as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant equals $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Deferred Amount Holders)). Parent shall pay the expenses of the Independent Accountant, provided that the Deferred Amount Holders shall bear their portion of the expenses as set forth in the definition of “Deferred Amount”.
(iv)Parent acknowledges that the payment of the Deferred Amount serves as a material inducement for the Company and the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder to enter into this Agreement, and Parent covenants through December 31, 2022, that Parent will not take any action with the actual intent of reducing Revenue with the actual intent that the Deferred Amount is reduced as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that Parent shall not be responsible for any lost Revenue caused by the Company’s failure or delay in obtaining the Approved Data Consents on or before the Outside Delivery Date.

(v)After the determination of the Reduction Amount in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), the Deferred Amount shall be reduced by the Reduction Amount for all purposes of this Agreement.
(e)If at any time during the period between the Initial Merger Effective Time and, with respect to the issuance or payment of the Deferred Amount, on or prior to the issuance or payment of the Deferred Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any change in the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall occur by reason of any reclassification, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, any number or amount or class contained in this Agreement which is based on the price of Parent Common Stock or the number or class of shares of Parent Common Stock shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the Parties with the same economic effect with respect to the Deferred Amount as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or stock dividend thereon.
(f)In connection with the consummation of a Change of Control Event prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall make appropriate provision so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall affirmatively assume the obligations of Parent with respect to the Deferred Amount. If, as a result of such Change of Control Event, shares of Parent Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into cash or other securities, then Parent shall elect that the Deferred Amount, if any, be made in the form of such cash or other securities based on the Parent Stock Price that would have applied had the Deferred Amount, if any and as applicable under Section 2.6(b), been issued or paid to the Deferred Amount Holders as of immediately prior to such Change of Control Event.
(g)The approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Combination Transactions by the Company Stockholders, and the delivery of the Joinder Agreements by the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder, constitutes approval by such Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder as to the specific terms of the Combination Transactions, and the irrevocable agreement of the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder to be bound by, and comply with, this Agreement, including the matters set forth in this Section 2.6 and Parent’s retention of the Deferred Amount.
2.7.No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to each Shareablee Holdco Stockholder and the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder pursuant to Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.2(b), as applicable, and in connection with the issuance or payment of any Deferred Amount, if any, as applicable, shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder in connection with the Combination Transactions and the Parent Stock Issuance and any such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Each share of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Combination Transactions, or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall be book-entry security entitlements.
2.8.Deferred Amount Grants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its obligations with respect to the applicable portion of the Deferred Amount to any Equity Award Holders with shares issued under the Company Equity Plan, which shares shall have the same terms and conditions as to the Deferred Amount set forth in Section 2.6 of this Agreement.
2.9.Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent, the Final Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any consideration issuable, payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law or under any applicable Law or Order, and to request and be provided any necessary Tax Forms or any similar information; provided, that except in the case of backup withholding, any payment of wages for applicable Tax purposes with respect to Transaction Expenses, the failure of the Company to deliver the FIRPTA Compliance Certificate or the failure of an applicable payee to deliver an applicable Tax Form, the Person intending to deduct or withhold under this Section 2.9 shall provide prompt notice to the applicable payee upon becoming aware that such deduction or withholding is required. Parent shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cooperate with the applicable payee and take such commercially reasonable steps as such payee may reasonably request to reduce or eliminate amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld under this Section 2.9. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the proper Governmental
10


Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the employer portion of any income, payroll or other employment-related taxes withheld by Parent, the Final Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any affiliate in connection with the payment to any Deferred Amount Holder that was an Equity Award Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be paid to such Deferred Amount Holder for all purposes of Section 2.6 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 2.6 of this Agreement to the contrary, payment to any Deferred Amount Holder subject to payroll tax withholding (which shall include any Deferred Amount Holder that was an Equity Award Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing Date) may be delayed until no later than March 14 of the year following the year in which such portion of the Deferred Amount becomes payable to such Deferred Amount Holder to facilitate a “sell to cover” transaction to permit such Deferred Amount Holder to satisfy his or her income and/or payroll tax obligation that becomes due upon receipt of such Deferred Amount.
2.10.Post-Closing Reconciliation.
(a)On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent its good faith calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Net Working Capital Amount, (ii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount (excluding the PPP Loan), (iii) the estimated Closing Cash Amount, and (iv) the Closing Transaction Expense Amount (collectively, the “Adjustment Amounts” (which may be positive or negative numbers), and such estimates, the “Estimated Adjustment Amounts”), in each case, accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations (the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Company shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with the applicable definitions in this Agreement and with GAAP. The Company shall make available to Parent and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the Estimated Closing Statement and reasonable access (on prior notice and during business hours) to employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with its review of such statements, and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives review of such statements and shall take into consideration in good faith any comments of Parent on the Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in the Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable.
(b)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement that shall set forth a calculation of each Adjustment Amount (the “Final Adjustment Amounts”), accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations (the “Post-Closing Statement”). Parent shall prepare such Post-Closing Statement in accordance with the applicable definitions in this Agreement and with GAAP. After the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, Parent shall make available to the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the Post-Closing Statement (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and provide reasonable access (on prior written notice and during business hours) to employees of Parent and the Company as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Post-Closing Statement, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in good faith with Stockholder Representative and its Representatives in their review of the Post-Closing Statement. The Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Adjustment Disagreement”) within thirty (30) days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”) if the Stockholder Representative disagrees with any portion of the Post-Closing Statement. The Notice of Adjustment Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Stockholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Adjustment Review Period, then the Post-Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the Parties, the Company Stockholders and the Company Warrantholder. During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Adjustment Resolution Period”), if any, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement. Any items agreed to by the Stockholder Representative and Parent in a written agreement executed and delivered by each of the Stockholder Representative and Parent, together with any items not disputed or objected to by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” If at the end of the Adjustment Resolution Period, the Parties have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement,
11


the Stockholder Representative and Parent, or either of them, shall refer all matters in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement other than the Resolved Matters (the “Unresolved Matters”) to Grant Thornton LLP (the “Independent Accountant”). In the event that Grant Thornton LLP refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Stockholder Representative and Parent, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such firm. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the Unresolved Matters. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Stockholder Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement or Parent in the Post-Closing Statement with respect to such Unresolved Matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items in the Post-Closing Statement or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the Unresolved Matters. During the review by the Independent Accountant, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.10(b); provided, that the independent accountants of Parent or the Company shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the As-Converted Stockholders) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the disputed items covered by such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant (for example, if the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant equals $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the As-Converted Stockholders)). Parent shall pay the expenses of the Independent Accountant, provided that the As-Converted Stockholders shall bear their portion of the expenses as set forth in Section 2.10(d) and Section 2.10(e).
(c)The “Final Closing Statement” and “Final Adjustment Amounts” shall be (i) in the event that no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.10(b), (ii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are able to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as adjusted pursuant to the written agreement executed and delivered by Parent and the Stockholder Representative or (iii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 2.10(b). The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.10(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”
(d)Upon determination of the Final Closing Statement, if the sum of the Final Adjustment Amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement is greater than the sum of the Estimated Adjustment Amounts (the amount of such excess, minus any costs allocated to the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the As-Converted Stockholders) pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Upward Adjustment Amount based on the Parent Stock Price as of the Closing Date (the “Upward Adjustment Consideration”) for further distribution to the As-Converted Stockholders in accordance with the additional amounts that each As-Converted Stockholder would have received had the Final Adjustment Amount been included in the Maximum Available Fully Diluted Shares Closing Consideration instead of the Estimated Adjustment Amount at the time of Closing; provided,
12


that as a condition to Parent’s and the Exchange Agent’s obligation to make such issuances, the Stockholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Schedule setting forth the portion of the Upward Adjustment Consideration payable to each As-Converted Stockholder; provided, further, that in no event shall the Upward Adjustment Consideration exceed the Maximum Adjustment Consideration. If the absolute value of the Upward Adjustment Amount is less than $50,000, the “Upward Adjustment Amount” shall be deemed to be $0 and there shall be no Upward Adjustment Consideration.
(e)Upon determination of the Final Closing Statement, if the sum of the Final Adjustment Amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement is less than the sum of the Estimated Adjustment Amounts (the amount of such deficiency, together with any costs allocated to the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the As-Converted Stockholders) pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the “Downward Adjustment Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, Parent shall deduct from the Purchase Price Holdback Amount the number of shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Downward Adjustment Amount based on the Parent Stock Price as of the Closing Date (the “Downward Adjustment Consideration”); provided, that in the event that the Downward Adjustment Consideration exceeds the Maximum Adjustment Consideration, Parent shall be entitled to reduce the Deferred Amount payable to the As-Converted Stockholders by such excess. If the absolute value of the Downward Adjustment Amount is less than $50,000, the “Downward Adjustment Amount” shall be deemed to be $0 and there shall be no Downward Adjustment Consideration.
(f)Parent shall promptly cause the Exchange Agent to issue to each As-Converted Stockholder all or the applicable portion (which may be zero), as applicable, of the Per Share Purchase Price Holdback Amount (in excess of the Downward Adjustment Consideration, if applicable).
(g)Parent and the Final Surviving Company shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual As-Converted Stockholder received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, the Final Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of payments or distributions made in accordance with the updated Allocation Schedule delivered by the Stockholder Representative; provided, that the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the initial Allocation Schedule prepared by the Company in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s preparation and delivery of any updated Allocation Schedule.
(h)Except with respect to claims of Fraud and subject to Section 7.2, the process set forth in this Section 2.10 shall be the exclusive remedy for disputes related to the Adjustment Amounts.

No shares of Company Capital Stock are subject to vesting, reverse vesting, forfeiture, a right of repurchase or to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code.

Except as set forth on Section 3.2(d)-1 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company Equity Plan nor any Contract of any character to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets is bound relating to any Company Options or Company RSU Awards requires or otherwise provides for any accelerated vesting of any Company Options or Company RSU Awards or the acceleration of any other benefits thereunder, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or upon termination of employment or service with the Company or Parent, or any other event, whether before, upon or following the Closing or otherwise.
(i)As of the Closing, (i) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock set forth in the Allocation Schedule as being owned by a Person, or subject to Company Options, Company RSU Awards, or the Company Warrant owned by such Person, shall constitute the entire interest of such Person in the issued and outstanding Company Capital Stock or any other Company Securities, (ii) no Person not disclosed in the Allocation Schedule shall have a right to acquire from the Company any shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company RSU Awards, Company Warrant, Equity Interests or any other Company Securities, and (iii) the shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company RSU Awards, and the Company Warrant disclosed in the Allocation Schedule shall be free and clear of any Liens.

4.7.Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents filed and publicly available prior to the Closing (excluding any disclosures in any risk factors section that do not constitute
38


statements of fact, disclosures in any forward-looking statements disclaimer and other disclosures that are generally cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature):
(a)Parent has timely filed or furnished all forms, documents and reports required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC since January 1, 2019 (all such documents and reports filed or furnished by Parent, the “Parent SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment (and, in the case of registration statements, on the dates of effectiveness), the Parent SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and none of the Parent SEC Documents when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the Knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Documents is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment. To the extent that complete and correct copies are not available on the SEC’s website, Parent has made available copies of all comment letters received from the SEC since January 1, 2019 and relating to the Parent SEC Documents, together with all written responses of Parent thereto. There are no internal investigations, SEC inquiries or investigations or other governmental inquiries or investigations pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened, in each case regarding any accounting practices of Parent.
(b)The financial statements (including the related notes) of the Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents complied, at the time the respective statements were filed, as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q and related rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, the absence of complete footnotes and to any other adjustments described therein, including any notes thereto, or with respect to pro-forma financial information, subject to the qualifications stated therein).
(c)Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that Parent files under the Exchange Act is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of Parent’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. Since January 1, 2019, neither Parent nor, to Parent’s Knowledge, Parent’s independent accountant, has identified or been made aware of any material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material way Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. Parent maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) in compliance with the Exchange Act.

5.2.Tax Matters.
(a)Preparation of Tax Returns. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, at the expense of the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and the Company Stockholders, all Tax Returns for Shareablee Holdco or the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Parent Prepared Returns”). In the event that any Parent Prepared Return that is an income Tax Return or other material Tax Return that shows any Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes that are subject to indemnification by the Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall submit such Parent Prepared Return to the Stockholder Representative for review and comment at least twenty (20) days (or, if such Parent Prepared Return is required to be filed within twenty (20) days after the Closing Date, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date) prior to the filing of such Parent Prepared Return (taking into account any validly obtained extensions of time to file); provided that any failure or delay in providing any Parent Prepared Return to the Stockholder Representative shall not relieve the Company Indemnitors of any indemnification obligations with respect to such Tax Return except to the extent the Company Indemnitors are actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Parent shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments received from the Stockholder Representative within fifteen (15) days after Parent has provided the applicable Parent Prepared Return.
(b)Cooperation. The Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Parent, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Shareablee Holdco’s or the Company’s operations and any pending or threatened audits, Legal Proceedings or assessments with respect thereto or to Taxes owed by Shareablee Holdco or the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the relevant Party’s request) the provision of records and information in such Party’s
40


possession which are reasonably relevant to any such matters and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Stockholder Representative or any Company Indemnitor be entitled to review or otherwise have access to any Tax Return, or information related thereto, of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than Tax Returns, and information related thereto, of Shareablee Holdco or the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods).
(c)Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes. Each Company Indemnitor shall bear and, promptly upon request by Parent, pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or at Parent’s election, the appropriate Governmental Entity) the amount of such Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Share of any Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes to the extent not taken into account in the Final Closing Statement; provided, however, that in the case of any withholding Taxes described in clause (d) of the definition of “Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes” and withheld in respect of a Company Indemnitor, such Company Indemnitor shall bear and, promptly upon request by Parent, pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or at Parent’s election, the appropriate Governmental Entity) the amount of such Taxes. The Person(s) required to do so under applicable law shall, at its own expense, file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes that are required to be filed by applicable Law. If required by applicable Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

The Combination Transactions are intended to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and, subject to Section 356 of the Code, the transactions described in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(d), Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(b), Section 2.3(a)(ii) and Section 2.3(b)(i) are intended to qualify as tax-free exchanges pursuant to Section 354(a)(1) of the Code. The Parties shall report all such transactions in accordance therewith on their respective U.S. federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year including the Closing Date and shall file all applicable U.S. state and local income Tax Returns in a manner consistent therewith, unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority following an audit or other examination in which the Intended Tax Treatment was defended reasonably and in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representations or warranties to Shareablee Holdco, the Company, any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder, any Company Stockholder, the Company Warrantholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder and such Persons make no representations to Parent or Parent Holdco LLC regarding the Tax treatment or any of the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party and the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders, the Company Stockholders, the Company Warrantholder and the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder acknowledge that they are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e)Tax Audits. Parent shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of written notice from a Governmental Entity regarding the commencement of any audit, examination or other administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to any Taxes of Shareablee Holdco or the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (each a “Tax Contest”), provide the Stockholder Representative with written notice thereof; provided that, the failure or delay in providing such notice to the Stockholder Representative will not affect the obligations of the Company Indemnitors hereunder unless and to the extent the Company Indemnitors are actually prejudiced thereby. Parent shall keep the Stockholder Representative reasonably informed concerning the progress of any Tax Contest and, except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no settlement of any such Tax Contest shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter. To the extent this Section 5.2(e) conflicts with Section 7.5, this Section 5.2(e) shall control.
5.3.Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company; Insurance.
(a)During the period ending six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Final Surviving Company or its respective successors shall, or Parent shall cause the Final Surviving Company or their respective successors to, fulfill their obligations to the present and former members of the Company Board, present and former managers and present and former officers of the Company (such directors, managers and officers being herein called the “Company Indemnitees”) pursuant to the terms of the Charter Documents after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by Article I (such obligations, collectively, the “D&O Indemnifiable Matters”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Parent and the Final Surviving Company or their respective successors in respect of the D&O Indemnifiable Matters (i) shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law, the terms of the Charter Documents or the terms of the applicable indemnification agreement, and (ii) shall not be deemed to release any Company Indemnitee who is also an
41


officer, manager or director of the Company from his or her obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement.
(b)Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase and fully pay (and such purchase price shall be included in the Closing Transaction Expense Amount) for an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent that shall provide the Company Indemnitees with coverage for six (6) years following the Closing Date of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company (the “D&O Tail Policy”). Parent shall not, and shall cause the Final Surviving Company to not, take any action to eliminate such D&O Tail Policy. The cost of the D&O Tail Policy shall be considered a Transaction Expense for purposes of this Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide a copy of the D&O Tail Policy to Parent, along with written confirmation from the insurance provider that such D&O Tail Policy will be bound at Closing.
(c)If Parent, the Final Surviving Company, or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their assets to any Person, or (iii) ceases to exist for any reason, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Final Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.3.
(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations under this Section 5.3 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.3 applies without the consent of such affected Company Indemnitee, it being understood and agreed that the Company Indemnitees are intended to be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
5.4.Securities Law Exemption; Transfer Restrictions; Stop-Transfer Instructions, Securities Law Compliance.
(a)Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuance of all shares of Parent Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Combination Transactions (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Converted Options and the settlement of the Converted RSU Awards) to validly qualify for an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state “blue sky” securities laws.
(b)The shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, and may not be transferred absent valid and effective registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and any such transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable state securities Laws. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder hereunder shall bear a legend or legends referencing restrictions applicable to such shares under applicable securities Laws and under this Agreement (the “Restrictive Legends”), which Restrictive Legend shall state in substance:
“The securities evidenced by this certificate have been issued and sold without registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States (a “State Act”) in reliance upon certain exemptions from registration under said acts. The securities evidenced by this certificate cannot be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred within the United States unless such sale, assignment or other transfer is (i) made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in accordance with each applicable State Act or (ii) exempt from, or not subject to, the Securities Act and each applicable State Act.”
(c)Following the Closing until the date the Restrictive Legends are removed from all shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with this Agreement, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including without
42


limitation SEC reporting requirements and information requirements in Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, to enable each Shareablee Holdco Stockholder and the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder to transfer the shares of Parent Common Stock they receive from time to time pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act. So long as a Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder owns any Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement that is characterized as “restricted securities” under federal securities Laws, Parent shall promptly furnish upon the written request of the Stockholder Representative, to the extent accurate, a written statement of Parent that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and all other documents reasonably required to transfer the Parent Common Stock without restriction of any kind.
(d)Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.4(d), or in accordance with a written consent granted by Parent, each of the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder shall not transfer, directly or indirectly, any of the Parent Common Stock (other than shares issued with respect to the Deferred Amount) owned by he, she or it, other than, (i) with respect to each Shareablee Holdco Stockholder except for Tania Yuki Mustapic, (A) thirty five percent (35%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by him, her or it pursuant to this Agreement following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) an additional fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by him, her or it pursuant to this Agreement following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (C) the remaining fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by him, her or it pursuant to this Agreement following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) with respect to Tania Yuki Mustapic, (A) twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by her pursuant to this Agreement following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) an additional twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by her pursuant to this Agreement following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (C) an additional twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by her pursuant to this Agreement following the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (D) the remaining twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by her pursuant to this Agreement following the (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) with respect to the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder, one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Parent Common Stock acquired by him, her or it pursuant to this Agreement following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (each, as applicable, the “Transfer Prohibition Period”). Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.4(d), or in accordance with a written consent granted by Parent, each of the Deferred Amount Holders shall not transfer, directly or indirectly, any of the Parent Common Stock that he, she or it received as part of the Deferred Amount until the six (6) month anniversary of receipt of any such shares (as applicable, the “Deferred Amount Prohibition Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions and limitations on transfers contained in this Section 5.4(d) shall not apply to any direct or indirect transfer of Parent Common Stock (x) by any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder who is a natural person for bona fide estate planning purposes to a trust, limited liability company or other estate planning tool formed under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof solely for the benefit of such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder and such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder’s or Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder’s spouse, parents, siblings and descendants (whether by birth or adoption) (a “Family Group”) (or a re-transfer of such Parent Common Stock by such trust, limited liability company or other estate planning tool back to such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder upon the revocation of any such trust) or pursuant to the applicable Laws of descent or distribution among such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder’s or Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder’s Family Group, (y) by any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder to its Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any portfolio companies and limited partners of such Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder), but only if such transfer to an Affiliate is part of a corporate reorganization or restructuring for nominal consideration or for no consideration, and (z) by any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder or the Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder to cover applicable Taxes with respect to his, her or its ownership of such Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that (I) no such transfer shall be permitted if such transfer will result in an “owner shift” under Section 382(g) of the Code with respect to Parent and (II) other than with respect to a transfer contemplated by clause (z), the transferee agrees in writing with Parent to be bound by this Section 5.4(d) to the same extent as its transferor. Parent agrees that it shall not waive compliance with this Section 5.4(d) with respect to any Shareablee Holdco Stockholder unless it makes a similar waiver with respect to all other Shareablee Holdco Stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the date hereof, other than this Section 5.4, there are no other contractual transfer restrictions between Parent and the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder with respect to Parent Common Stock.
43


(e)To ensure compliance with the restrictions and limitations on transfers imposed by this Section 5.4, Parent may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent and include a restrictive legend on any shares of Parent Common Stock that are subject to this Section 5.4. Parent shall not be required (x) to transfer on its books any shares of Parent Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Section 5.4 or the requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state act, or (y) to treat as owner of such shares of Parent Common Stock, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends, to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares of Parent Common Stock have been purportedly so transferred. Upon expiration of the applicable Transfer Prohibition Period or applicable Deferred Amount Prohibition Period, or earlier with respect to the end of the respective transfer restriction periods of the Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder as set forth in Section 5.4(d) above, Parent shall upon request, cause its transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends effected under this Section 5.4 from the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement, and Parent shall not thereafter issue any stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the restrictions imposed by this Section 5.4.

In the event that an Obligated Party is required by Law or any Legal Proceeding to disclose any of the Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by Law and to the extent reasonably practicable, the Obligated Party shall provide Parent with notice as promptly as practicable of any such requirement so that Parent may, at its sole cost and expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Parent, such Obligated Party is nonetheless required to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Obligated Party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Obligated Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, in its efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information.

(i)(A) the failure of any Fundamental Representation of the Parent or Parent Holdco LLC to be true and correct, in each case as of the Closing Date (or, if given as of a specific date, at and as of such date), and (B) the failure of any other representation or warranty of the Parent or Parent Holdco LLC in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (or, if given as of a specific date, at and as of such date), in each case including any third party allegation that, if true, would result in or constitute such a failure or breach of any representation or warranty of the Parent or Parent Holdco LLC; provided, that all materiality qualifications (such as “material”) in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded for the purposes of this Article VII, including in connection with determining whether a breach has occurred and the amount of Losses incurred;
(ii)any failure by the Parent or Parent Holdco LLC to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement or the Related Agreements;
(c)The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date (other than as expressly set forth in the Disclosure Schedule), with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by a Party or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Other than with respect to any claim for Fraud, no Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto.
7.3.Certain Limitations.
(a)Except in the case of Fraud, (i) the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(a)(i)(C) (Other Representations) unless and until the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $450,000 in Losses in the aggregate (the “Company Indemnitors Deductible”), at which time the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover solely such amounts in excess of the Company Indemnitors Deductible, and (ii) the Company Stockholder Indemnified Parties may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(b)(i)(B) (Other Representations) unless and until the Company Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $450,000 in Losses in the aggregate (the “Parent Parties Deductible”), at which time the Company Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover solely such amounts in excess of the Parent Parties Deductible.
(b)Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.6 and this Section 7.3, (i) during the twelve (12) month survival period set forth in Section 7.1, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any Losses by way of setoff from Parent’s obligation to issue Parent Common Stock (or to pay cash) in respect of the Deferred Amount for an indemnification claim made pursuant to Section 7.2(a), and (ii) during the twenty four (24) month survival period set forth in Section 7.1, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any Losses by way of setoff from Parent’s obligation to issue Parent Common Stock (or to pay cash) in respect of the remaining Deferred Amount, if any, to the extent such indemnification claim is made pursuant to Section 7.2(a).
(c)Any indemnity amounts payable to a Parent Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article VII shall be satisfied: (i)  first, by way of setoff from Parent’s obligation in respect of the Deferred Amount, if any, in accordance with Section 7.2(a)(x), and (ii) second, from the Company Indemnitors in
47


accordance with Section 7.2(a)(y). Any indemnity amounts payable to a Company Stockholder Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article VII shall be satisfied either in cash or Parent Common Stock, on a Pro Rata Share basis, in the sole discretion of Parent and subject to Section 2.3(c).
(d)In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Company Indemnitors under this Article VII (in accordance with each Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Share) (i) for all indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i)(C) (Other Representations) of this Agreement exceed $4,500,000, and (ii) for all other indemnification claims under this Agreement exceed $40,624,210 (unless such indemnity claim is being made in respect of Fraud committed by such Company Indemnitor, Section 7.2(a)(i)(B) (Critical Representations), Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Allocation Schedule) or Section 7.2(a)(iv) (Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Expense Amount or Closing Indebtedness Amount; PPP Loan Escrow), in which event there shall be no limitation on the liability of such Company Indemnitor hereunder or under applicable Law). In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Parent and Parent Holdco LLC under this Article VII  for all indemnification claims under Section 7.2(b)(i)(B) (Other Representations) of this Agreement exceed $4,500,000, and  for all other indemnification claims under this Agreement exceed $40,624,210 (unless such indemnity claim is being made in respect of Fraud committed by Parent or Parent Holdco LLC, in which event there shall be no limitation on the liability of Parent and Parent Holdco LLC hereunder or under applicable Law).
(e)The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VII shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or reimbursements actually received by the Indemnified Parties from third parties (other than in respect of the Deferred Amount) in respect of such Losses (net of any reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement, including any increases in insurance premiums attributable to such recovery); provided that nothing in this Section 7.3(e) shall be construed as or give rise to an obligation to seek any such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement.
(f)For purposes of this Article VII, each share of Parent Common Stock (including the Deferred Amount, as applicable) shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Price as of the date of the final determination of the relevant claim.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
(h)The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise resulting from or arising out of this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII; provided, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of (i) any right to specific performance, equitable or injunctive relief, (ii) any right or remedy under any Related Agreement to which it is a party, or (iii) any right or remedy with respect to a Party’s own Fraud, and all claims related thereto shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Subject to the other limitations contained herein, the obligations of the Company Indemnitors under this Article VII shall not be reduced, offset, eliminated or subject to contribution by reason of any action or inaction by the Company that contributed to any inaccuracy or breach giving rise to such obligation, it being understood that the Company Indemnitors, not the Company, shall have the sole obligation for the indemnification obligations under this Article VII.
7.4.Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.
(a)Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party (“Beneficiary”) shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the party required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) (i) stating that the Beneficiary has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain, Losses for the Beneficiary is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (a “Liability Claim”), and (ii) specifying such Losses in reasonable detail (to the extent available), and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. Any such Indemnification Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than twenty (20) Business Days, after any Beneficiary becomes aware of any such Liability Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
48


Beneficiary in giving such Indemnification Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. A Beneficiary may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof.
(b)If the Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within the twenty (20) Business Day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Beneficiary is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.
(c)In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall timely deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(b), the Beneficiary and Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Beneficiary and Indemnifying Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. The Beneficiary and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum.
(d)In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Indemnification Claim Notice or Indemnification Claim Objection Notice that cannot be settled in accordance with Section 7.4(c), either of Parent or the Stockholder Representative may file suit with respect to such dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.11.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any notice that is required to be delivered to any Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such notice to the Stockholder Representative, and (ii) any notices required to be delivered by, or any actions that are required to be taken by, any Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied by delivery by, or action taken by, the Stockholder Representative (other than provisions related to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments). Any rights of the Company Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be exercised only by the Stockholder Representative and not by any individual Company Stockholder Indemnified Party. Any obligation by Parent or Parent Holdco LLC to make any payments to any Company Stockholder Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be deemed to be satisfied by payment (or issuance) of such indemnifying payment to the Company Stockholder Indemnified Parties, based on their Pro Rata Shares implied by the Allocation Schedule.
7.5.Third Party Claims. If any Indemnification Claim Notice identifies a Liability Claim brought by a Person that is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Beneficiary within 15 days after receipt of such Indemnification Claim Notice, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (a) the Third Party Claim must not seek (and continue not to seek) equitable remedies, and the Third Party Claim, based upon the remedy sought, must not be reasonably likely to result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the Beneficiary, (b) the Third Party Claim must not relate to the Beneficiary’s employees, material customers, material suppliers, or Taxes, and (c) the Indemnifying Party must expressly agree in writing that, as between the Indemnifying Party and the Beneficiary, the Indemnifying Party may only satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement (the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume, or is not entitled to assume, the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.5, then the Beneficiary may continue to defend the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 7.5, then the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, if  any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met, or  the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, then the Beneficiary may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Beneficiary, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other Party is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written
49


consent of the Beneficiary, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Beneficiary a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (B) grants any injunctive or equitable relief. The Beneficiary has the right to settle any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party.
7.6.Stockholder Representative.
(a)By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Combination Transactions, and the consummation of the Combination Transaction, executing a Joinder Agreement or participating in the Combination Transactions and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Combination Transactions, and without any further action of any of the Company Stockholders, the Company Warrantholder or the Company, each Company Stockholder and the Company Warrantholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, as of the Closing, Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the representative, exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder for all purposes in connection with this Agreement (including Article VII) and the agreements ancillary hereto, including to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, or (ii) permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Company Stockholders or Company Warrantholder, except as expressly provided herein, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder. Such agency may be changed by the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless the former holders of a majority of Company Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis) agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the former holders of a majority of Company Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis). No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. The engagement fee of the Stockholder Representative shall be paid by the Company prior to the Closing and considered a Transaction Expense for purposes of this Agreement. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder. Furthermore, each Company Stockholder and the Company Warrantholder agrees to the appointment of Tania Yuki Mustapic as the sole member of the “Advisory Committee” under that certain engagement letter, dated as of the date hereof, with the Stockholder Representative.
(b)Neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”) shall incur liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with their services pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative. The Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, claims, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs, in connection with seeking recovery from insurers and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) to the extent arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto or thereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall promptly reimburse the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from any funds that become payable to the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder; provided, that while the Stockholder
50


Representative may be paid from the aforementioned source of funds, this does not relieve the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event shall the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Stockholders or Company Warrantholder, or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions. 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 Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative hereunder. The Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities and immunities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
(c)The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Stockholder or the Company Warrantholder, and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Stockholder or the Company Warrantholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Deferred Amount. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement shall constitute a decision of the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Stockholders, Company Warrantholder and their respective successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder, and all defenses which may be available to any Company Stockholder or the Company Warrantholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement are waived. Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholder. Parent is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by Parent in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (A) rely upon the Allocation Schedule, (B) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (C) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Stockholder, Company Warrantholder or other party.
7.7.Treatment of Payments. Any payment under Article VII of this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties, Shareablee Holdco Stockholders and Shareablee Holdco Warrantholder, including for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, as an adjustment to the consideration paid pursuant to Article II, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Company, or its officers, directors or stockholders; provided, that the Company shall promptly pay to Parent any and all documented legal fees and expenses incurred by Parent in the diligence, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, further, nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for the willful breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein that occurred prior to such termination; and provided, further, that the provisions of Section 6.5 (Confidentiality), Section 6.2 (Public Disclosure), Section 7.6 (Stockholder Representative), Article IX (General Provisions) and this Section 8.2 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

RESTON, Va., December 17, 2021 – Comscore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today announced that it has acquired Shareablee, an industry-leading marketing analytics and measurement company in the social media space. With the acquisition, which closed on December 16, 2021, Comscore plans to expand its Media Metrix® and Video Metrix® currencies to include Shareablee's social media engagement and video insights, which will bridge the industry gap of traditional digital and social measurement services that exists today.
The combined audience insights of Comscore and Shareablee will give media companies, brands and advertisers an unmatched understanding of cross-platform consumer engagement and reach. Integration plans call for Comscore digital products to benefit from Shareablee data, allowing clients to broaden their digital footprint in products like Video Metrix® with advanced social video insights, and for Shareablee clients to have additional advantages with curated views of Comscore digital data embedded in their Shareablee dashboards. Comscore plans to retain the Shareablee team after closing, with key members of Shareablee management, including Tania Yuki, Greg Dale and Jonathan Lieberman, continuing in leadership roles.
Shareablee, a Meta for Media Measurement Partner, provides analytics and intelligence to many of the world's largest brands, publishers and agencies including Mondelez, GroupM, ESPN, NBCUniversal, and Vox Media. Shareablee has built a proprietary taxonomy of over twenty million publishers, advertisers and content creators in over seventy global markets that publish millions of videos, images and articles each day across the major social media platforms – delivering a vast array of performance-based insight that is a natural complement to Comscore's currency TV, CTV, OTT, movie and digital measurement solutions. Comscore and Shareablee have joint clients that will benefit from a true cross-platform view of their marketing reach and effectiveness.
"Comscore is committed to the future and helping customers have a comprehensive view of the consumer across platforms, while understanding the unique engagement on premium video. The future of measurement would not be complete without including the impressions delivered by the social media platforms," said Bill Livek, CEO and Executive Vice Chair, Comscore. "For marketers, this inclusion into our currencies will present great opportunity to maximize their outcomes on advertising investments. We see many opportunities to help our clients grow their viewing audiences and maximize their impact using social platforms."
"At our core, we believe that content matters, and that data and insights can make storytelling more impactful. We are thrilled to join forces with Comscore and look forward to finding new ways to jointly drive innovation," said Tania Yuki, CEO and Founder of Shareablee. "Our large-scale social measurement capabilities provide critical insight into changing content consumption and consumer behaviors, particularly when it comes to shedding light on Gen Z, and fit perfectly alongside Comscore's comprehensive cross-platform intelligence. Bringing the resources and measurement sophistication of Comscore to our product development capabilities will be very exciting for the whole market."
