All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events, as well as trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These statements include, among other things:
our beliefs regarding delivery traffic growth trends and demand for digital content and edge services;

    These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In addition, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on our current expectations and assumptions and on information available as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented and of a normal recurring nature. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. All information is presented in thousands, except per share amounts and where specifically noted.
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Limelight and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In addition, certain other reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from those estimates. The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, or for any future periods.
Recent Accounting Standards
Adopted Accounting Standards            
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12 to simplifying the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740 related to intra-period tax allocation, simplifies when companies recognize deferred taxes in an interim period, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. We early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021, on a modified retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, our total remaining interest expense over the contractual terms of our convertible debt will be approximately $20,823 less than under the previous accounting standards. The adoption resulted in a $21,733 decrease in additional paid in capital from the derecognition of the bifurcated equity component, $20,255 increase in debt from the derecognition of the discount associated with the bifurcated equity component and $1,677 decrease to the opening balance of accumulated deficit, representing the cumulative interest expense recognized related to the
10

Table of Contents
amortization of the bifurcated conversion option. We wrote-off the related deferred tax liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax impact to the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which provides amendments to improve, simplify, and provide consistency for recognition and measurement of acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments require that an acquirer recognize and measure such contract assets and contract liabilities under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments also allow for election of certain practical expedients, which are applied on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. The new accounting amendments are effective for us beginning in fiscal 2023 with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period, and if elected, the amendments are applied retrospectively for any acquisitions that occurred in the fiscal year of interim adoption. We expect to early adopt this ASU and are evaluating the impacts of the amendments on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in our Annual Report, except for restructuring charge, convertible senior notes, business combinations, finite intangible assets and share-based compensation as described below:
Restructuring Charges
We account for restructuring costs under ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Obligations. Restructuring costs are recognized when the liability is incurred. A restructuring liability related to employee terminations is recorded when a one-time benefit arrangement is communicated to an employee who is involuntarily terminated as part of a reorganization and the amount of the termination benefit is known, provided that the employee is not required to render future services in order to receive the termination benefit. If fixed assets, or other assets are to be disposed of as a result of our restructuring efforts, the assets are written off when we commit to dispose of them, and they are no longer in use. If applicable, depreciation is accelerated on fixed assets for the period of time the asset continues to be used until the asset ceases to be used. Other restructuring costs are generally recorded as the cost is incurred or the service is provided.
Convertible Senior Notes
In July 2020, we issued $125,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes. Effective January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06. The conversion option that was previously accounted for under the cash conversion model or beneficial conversion feature model was recombined into a single instrument that is classified as a liability for convertible debt or equity for equity-classified preferred stock.
Business Combinations                         
In accounting for acquisitions through which a set of assets and activities are transferred to us, we perform an initial test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets transferred are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, such that the acquisition would not represent a business. If the initial test does not result in substantially all of the fair value concentrated in a single or group of similar assets, we then perform a second test to evaluate whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the result of the second test indicates that the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, we account for the transaction as a business combination.
For our business combinations, we allocate the purchase consideration of the acquisition, which includes the estimated acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration (if applicable), to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on each of the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of such items requires judgment, including estimating future cash flows or the cost to recreate an acquired asset.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred, except for those costs incurred to issue debt or equity securities (if applicable), and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During and up to the one-year period beginning with the acquisition date, we may record certain purchase accounting adjustments related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed against goodwill. After the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities assumed from an acquisition are remeasured each reporting period after the acquisition date and the changes in the estimated fair value, if any, are recorded within operating expenses in our consolidated
11

Table of Contents
statement of operations for such period. In accounting for income taxes in a business combination, changes in the deferred tax asset valuations allowance and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date will be recognized through income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations each reporting period.
The results of operations of the acquired business are included in our consolidated statement of operations since the date of acquisition.
Finite Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the following estimated useful lives:

Trade name3.0 years
Customer relationships5.0 years
Technology7.0 years
Our finite-lived intangible assets are primarily amortized on a straight-line basis. We annually evaluate the estimated remaining useful lives of our intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
Long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected long-term undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate is less than its carrying amount. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the respective asset. Our analysis did not indicate impairment during any of the periods presented.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for our share-based compensation awards using the fair-value method. The grant date fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation calculation requires us to make key assumptions such as future stock price volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates, and dividend yield. Our expected volatility is derived from our volatility rate as a publicly traded company. The expected term is based on our historical experience. The risk-free interest factor is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities of approximately equal to each grant’s expected term. We have never paid cash dividends and do not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and therefore, we have assumed a 0% dividend yield.
We apply the straight-line attribution method to recognize compensation costs associated with awards that are not subject to graded vesting. For awards subject to graded vesting, we recognize expense separately for each vesting tranche. We regularly estimate when and if performance-based award will be earned and record expense over the estimated service period only for awards considered probable of being earned. Any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which an award is determined to no longer be probable of being earned.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
For contracts that contain minimum commitments over the contractual term, we estimate an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method. We include estimates of variable consideration in revenue only when we have a high degree of confidence that revenue will not be reversed in a subsequent reporting period. We believe that the expected value method is the most appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration. These clients have entered into contracts with contract terms generally from one to four years. As of September 30, 2021, we have approximately $4,051 of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations. We recognized revenue of approximately $2,418 and $1,911, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, related to these types of contracts with our clients. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized approximately $6,774 and $6,008, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 47% of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations in 2021, approximately 51% in 2022, and approximately 2% in 2023.

We recorded deferred revenue of $2,479 in accordance with the allocation of purchase consideration related to the acquisition of Moov Corporation (Moov). Deferred revenue is primarily driven by payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. We recognized approximately $498 in September 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue purchase consideration allocation. The deferred revenue balance of approximately $1,981 as of September 30, 2021 represents our aggregate remaining performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. We expect to recognize approximately 46% of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations in 2021, and approximately 54% in 2022.
3. Business Acquisition
In September 2021, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Moov, a California corporation doing business as Layer0, a sub-scale SaaS based application acceleration and developer support platform, for total purchase consideration of $52,487. The total purchase consideration included $34,054 in cash, and 6,878 shares of our common stock valued at $18,433 at the acquisition date.
In connection with this transaction, a shareholder of Moov entered into an employment agreement with us. As part of the employment agreement, the employee will receive contingent consideration of approximately $4,300 to be paid out ratably over a three year period on each anniversary of the acquisition closing date if the employee remains employed by us. As the employee is required to render services to us following the acquisition, this contingent consideration is not included in the purchase consideration.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the operating results of Moov have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by us was allocated to Moov net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon our conclusion that there are strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. Goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily attributable to the technology, customer relationships and trade name of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.
We retained an independent third-party valuation firm to assist management in our valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price for Moov:
Consideration:
Cash$34,054 
Common stock18,433 
Total consideration$52,487 
The fair value of our common stock consideration of 6,878 shares, is based on the closing price of our common stock of $2.68 per share on the acquisition closing date.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration to the acquisition date fair value of the assets, including intangible assets, liabilities assumed and related goodwill acquired:

Certain amounts noted above are preliminary and subject to change during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we obtain additional information for the preliminary fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The primary preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill.
The fair value of the acquired intangible assets were determined as follows, trade name - income approach using the relief from royalty methodology, customer relationships - utilizing the cost approach methodology, and technology - excess earnings methodology under the income approach. The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets was 6.4 years at acquisition.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Moov represented $817 of our total revenue and $450 of our consolidated net loss. For the period January 1, 2021 to the acquisition closing date, Moov's unaudited revenue was approximately $8,969, and their net loss was approximately $628. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Moov's unaudited revenue was approximately $13,400, and their net loss was approximately $600.
Transaction costs incurred by us in connection with the Moov acquisition were $1,263 and $1,441 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and were recorded within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

10. Debt
Convertible Senior Notes - Due 2025
On July 27, 2020, we issued $125,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes), including the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional $15,000 principal amount of the Notes, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes was $120,741 after deducting transaction costs.
The Notes are governed by an indenture (the Indenture) between us, as the issuer, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of ours and will be equal in right of payment with our senior, unsecured indebtedness; senior in right of payment to our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the notes; effectively subordinated to our senior, secured indebtedness, including future borrowings, if any, under our $20,000 credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving us after which the Notes become automatically due and payable.
The Notes mature on August 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their term prior to the maturity date. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. The holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option only in the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of $8.53 for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
17

Table of Contents
(2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
(3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions of our common stock;
(4) if we call such Notes for redemption; and
(5) at any time from, and including, May 1, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.
On or after May 1, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in minimum principal amount denominations of $1 or any integral multiple of $1 in excess thereof, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, we may satisfy our conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture. The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 117.2367 shares of our common stock per $1 principal amount of Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.53 per share of our common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 27.5% over the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market of $6.69 per share on July 22, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate in certain circumstances for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption in connection with such notice of redemption, provided that the conversion rate will not exceed 149.4768 share of our common stock per $1 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment.
We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 4, 2023. We may redeem for cash all, or any portion in an authorized denomination, of the Notes, at our option, on or after August 4, 2023, and on or prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that we are not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
As of September 30, 2021, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had not been met and therefore the Notes are not yet convertible. The Notes are classified as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, and the liability component of the notes are classified as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
At the time of issuance in July 2020, we separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Notes. We determined the initial carrying amount of the $102,500 liability component before consideration of debt discount and transaction fees by calculating the present value of the cash flows using an effective interest rate of 8.6%. The interest rate was determined based on non-convertible debt offerings of similar sizes and terms by companies with similar credit ratings (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, was $22,500 and was calculated by deducting the initial carrying value of the liability component from the principal amount of the Notes as a whole. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the 5-year contractual term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. On January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06 on a modified retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, our total remaining interest expense over the contractual terms of our convertible debt will be approximately $20,823 less than under the previous accounting standards. The adoption resulted in a $21,733 decrease in additional paid in capital from the derecognition of the bifurcated equity component, $20,255 increase in debt from the derecognition of the discount associated with the bifurcated equity component and $1,677 decrease to the opening balance of accumulated deficit, representing the cumulative interest expense recognized related to the amortization of the bifurcated conversion option.

Table of Contents
We initially allocated transaction costs related to the issuance of the Notes to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the initial carrying value of the Notes. Transaction costs initially attributable to the liability component were $3,400 and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. Transaction costs attributable to the equity component were $859. Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the transaction costs attributable to the original equity component are now being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Notes.
The net carrying amount of the liability and equity components of the Notes was as follows:

As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Notes was $111,238 and $114,233, respectively. We estimated the fair value based on the quoted market prices in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (collectively, the Capped Calls). The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $8.53 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $13.38 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential economic dilution of approximately 14.7 million shares to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes with such reduction or offset, as the case may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. As the Capped Calls are considered indexed to our own stock and are equity classified, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $16,400 incurred in connection with the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Line of Credit
    In November 2015 we entered into the original Loan and Security Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with SVB. Since the inception, there have been seven amendments, with the most recent amendment being in December 2020. The maximum principal commitment amount remains at $20,000. Our borrowing capacity is the lesser of the commitment amount or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. All outstanding borrowings owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable no later than the final maturity date of November 2, 2022. As long as our Adjusted Quick Ratio remains above 1.5 to 1, we no longer are required to submit quarterly borrowing base reports.
    As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, and we had availability under the Credit Agreement of $20,000 and $20,000, respectively.
19

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2021, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the current prime rate minus 0.25%. In the event of default, obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is 3% above the then applicable rate. 
Amendment fees and other commitment fees are included in interest expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no interest expense, and fees expense and amortization was $10 and $15, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no interest expense, and fees expense and amortization was $36 and $97, respectively.
Any borrowings are secured by essentially all of our domestic personal property, with a negative pledge on intellectual property. SVB’s security interest in our foreign subsidiaries is limited to 65% of the voting stock of each such foreign subsidiary.
    We are required to maintain an Adjusted Quick Ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0. We are also subject to certain customary limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions and other investments, make certain restricted payments such as dividends, dispose of assets or undergo a change in control. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with our covenant under the Credit Agreement.
11. Restructuring Charge
During the first quarter of 2021, management committed to restructure certain parts of the company to focus on improved growth and profitability. As a result, certain headcount reductions were implemented, and we incurred certain charges related to severance, share-based compensation, and professional fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $2,155 of costs related to this restructuring plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a cost recovery of $112, as actual expenses incurred were less than previously estimated. We do not expect any additional restructure charges related to this action plan.
During the third quarter of 2021, management committed to restructure certain parts of the company to align our workforce and facility requirements with our continued investment in the business as we focus on cost efficiencies, improved growth and profitability. As a result, certain facilities, right of use assets, outside service contracts and professional fees were incurred. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $1,882 of costs related to this restructuring plan. We expect approximately $1,000 of additional costs related primarily to consulting fees to restructure our datacenter architecture over the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the activity of our restructuring accrual (recorded in other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and accordingly, no material legal contingencies were accrued as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Litigation relating to the content delivery services industry is not uncommon, and we are, and from time to time have been, subject to such litigation. No assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.
Taxes
We are subject to indirect taxation in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us conducting business online or providing Internet-related services. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the businesses of our clients, which could reduce their demand for our services. For example, tax authorities in various states and abroad may impose taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generate based on regulations currently being applied to similar but not directly comparable industries.
There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international taxation laws are subject to change. In the future, we may come under audit, which could result in changes to our tax estimates. We believe we maintain adequate tax reserves, that are not material in amount, to offset potential liabilities that may arise upon audit. Although we believe our tax estimates and associated reserves are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than the amounts established for tax contingencies. To the extent these estimates ultimately prove to be inaccurate, the associated reserves would be adjusted, resulting in the recording of a benefit or expense in the period in which a change in estimate or a final determination is made.
13. Net Loss per Share
    We calculate basic and diluted loss per weighted average share. We use the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period for the computation of basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share include the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive common stock, including awards granted under our equity incentive compensation plans in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
    The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

    For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the following potentially dilutive common stock, including awards granted under our equity incentive compensation plans were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have been anti-dilutive.

14. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
    On March 14, 2017, our board of directors authorized a $25,000 share repurchase program. Any shares repurchased under this program will be canceled and returned to authorized but unissued status. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase any shares under the repurchase program. As of September 30, 2021, there remained $21,200 under this share repurchase program.
Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan
    We established the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Plan, which allows for the grant of equity, including stock options and restricted stock unit awards. In June 2016, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Restated 2007 Plan, which amended and restated the 2007 Plan.  Approval of the Restated 2007 Plan replaced the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan with the terms and conditions of the Restated 2007 Plan and extended the term of the plan to April 2026. There was no increase in the aggregate amount of shares available for issuance. The total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Restated 2007 Plan as of September 30, 2021 was approximately 12,912.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
    In June 2013, our stockholders approved our 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), authorizing the issuance of 4,000 shares. In May 2019, our stockholders approved the adoption of Amendment 1 to the ESPP. Amendment 1 increased the number of shares authorized to 9,000 shares (an increase of 5,000 shares) and amended the maximum number of shares of common stock that an eligible employee may be permitted to purchase during each offering period to be 5 shares. The ESPP allows participants to purchase our common stock at a 15% discount of the lower of the beginning or end of the offering period using the closing price on that day. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not issue any shares under the ESPP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 355 shares under the ESPP. Total cash proceeds from the purchase of shares under the ESPP was approximately $913. As of September 30, 2021, shares reserved for issuance to employees under this plan totaled 3,330, and we held employee contributions of $631 (included in other current liabilities) for future purchases under the ESPP.
Preferred Stock
    Our board of directors has authorized the issuance of up to 7,500 shares of preferred stock at September 30, 2021. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issuance duly adopted by the board of directors. As of September 30, 2021, the board of directors had not adopted any resolutions for the issuance of preferred stock.

Total share-based compensation expense$3,657 $1,923 $16,477 $12,238 
    Unrecognized share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $42,652 at September 30, 2021, of which $5,692 related to stock options and $36,960 related to restricted stock units. Unrecognized share-based compensation includes both time-based and performance-based equity to be issued as part of our recent business acquisition. We currently expect to recognize share-based compensation expense of $5,458 during the remainder of 2021, $18,141 in 2022, and the remainder thereafter based on scheduled vesting of the stock options and restricted stock units outstanding at September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we issued two common stock warrants to an outside consulting firm. The first warrant was for up to an aggregate of 441,867 shares at an exercise price per share equal to $0.01 per share, and the second warrant was for up to an aggregate of 662,800 shares at an exercise price per share equal to $3.72 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized approximately $917 in share-based compensation expense, which is included in the restructure charge.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 55,233 shares from the first warrant and 82,850 shares from the second warrant vested. We have terminated the relationship with the outside consulting firm and there will be no further vesting. As of September 30, 2021, we agreed to provide the holder of the warrants a cash payment in exchange for the cancellation of the first warrant, including the 55,233 shares vested. The remaining 82,850 shares vested under the second warrant were outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and remain exercisable, subject to and conditioned upon the rights and restrictions contained in such warrant.
    On July 28, 2021, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares, options, warrants, convertible securities and other outstanding equity interests of Moov. As part of the purchase agreement, there is an incentive equity pool of $30,000 of restricted stock units to be granted to former Moov employees (including the Co-Founder) if they meet certain vesting criteria as follows:
$10,000 is subject to time-based vesting over a period of either 36 or 48 months; and
23

Table of Contents
$20,000 is subject to achieving certain financial and operational metrics by June 30, 2025. We are recognizing the expense associated with this equity grant over a 28 month period.
This resulted in a total of 11,198 restricted stock units, most of which will be granted as inducements to employment in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
Also, in connection with our acquisition of Moov we agreed to assume all outstanding issued but unvested Moov stock options under the 2017 Moov Corporation Equity Incentive Plan. Following such conversion, we issued 818 stock options subject to time-based vesting under the Restated 2007 Plan, with exercises prices between $0.38 and $0.58 per share.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we entered into transition agreements with four executives, which resulted in the modification of previously issued equity grants. The modifications were the result of us accelerating vesting after termination and extending the period of time the employee receives to exercise their outstanding non-qualified stock options. The extension of time to exercise their outstanding non-qualified stock options for the four individuals impacted ranged from six months to two years. The incremental expense recorded as a result of the modifications was $4,310, of which $1,116 was included in restructure charge, and $3,194 included in general and administrative expense.

18. Concentrations
    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had two clients, Amazon and Sony, who each represented 10% or more of our total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had one client, Amazon who represented 10% or more of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had two clients, Amazon and Sony who each represented 10% or more of our total revenue.
    Revenue from clients located within the United States, our country of domicile, was $33,405 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $38,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue from clients located within the United States $90,576, compared to $107,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, based on client location, we had two countries, the United States and Japan, that accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, based on client location, we had three countries, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, that accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue.
19. Income Taxes
    Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and discrete items, income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $211 and $66, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, income tax expense was $718 and $377, respectively. Income tax expense was different than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to us providing for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, and the recording of state and foreign tax expense for the three month periods.
We file income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Tax years 2017 through 2019 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. Tax years 2016 through 2019 generally remain subject to examination by state tax authorities. As of September 30, 2021, we are not under any federal or state examination for income taxes.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no impact to income tax expense related to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion (GILTI) as a result of our net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) and valuation allowance position. We do not expect the GILTI to have a material impact on future earnings due to our NOL and valuation allowance position.

Table of Contents
    On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act will result in a cash benefit to us.
20. Segment Reporting and Geographic Areas
    Our chief operating decision maker (who is our Chief Executive Officer) reviews our financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance.

The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months. The carrying amount of short-term and long-term marketable securities approximates fair value as the securities are marked to market as of each balance sheet date with any unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
    The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, on February 12, 2021.
Prior period information has been modified to conform to current year presentation. All information in this Item 2 is presented in thousands, except per share amounts and client count and where otherwise specifically noted.
Overview
We were founded in 2001 as a provider of content delivery network services to deliver digital content over the internet. We began development of our infrastructure in 2001 and began generating meaningful revenue in 2002. Today, we are an industry-leader in content delivery services and AppOps, our coordinated complete solution to deliver instant, secure website applications that provides powerful tools and a client-first approach to optimize and deliver digital experiences at the edge. We are a trusted partner to the world’s biggest brands and serve their global customers with experiences such as livestream sporting events, global movie launches, video games, or file downloads for new phone apps. We offer one of the largest, best-optimized private networks coupled with a global team of industry experts to provide edge services that are fast, secure, and reliable. Our mission is to securely manage and globally deliver digital content, building client satisfaction through exceptional reliability and performance.
Our business is dependent on creating an exceptional digital experience by providing our clients with fast, safe, efficient, and reliable edge access and distribution of content delivery and digital asset management services over the Internet every minute of every day. Because of this, we operate a globally distributed network with services that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. Our sophisticated and powerful network is fully redundant and includes extensive diversity through data center and telecommunication suppliers within and across regions.
Our delivery services represented approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, of our total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services and other infrastructure services, such as transit, rack space services, and hardware to help our clients build out edge solutions.
In early 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic has disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours; however, our level of service has remained uninterrupted. There also has been no material impact to our financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. The future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain. Nevertheless, while it is difficult to predict what the world will look like when this pandemic has run its course, we currently do not expect the COVID-19 pandemic to have a material adverse impact on our balance sheet, financial condition, and results of operations, nor do we expect any impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets or right of use assets.
We provide our services in a hyper competitive industry, where differentiation is primarily measured by performance and cost where the difference between providers can be as small as a fraction of a percent. We have experienced the commoditization of our once innovative and highly valued service, which, when combined with the low switching costs in a multi-CDN environment, results in on-going price compression, despite the large, unmet market need for our services. During the first nine months of 2021, we continued to see a decline in our average selling price, primarily the result of on-going price compression with our multi-CDN clients.
In February 2021, Bob Lyons joined the company as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, replacing Bob Lento. Since that date and under Mr. Lyon's leadership, we have established and begun implementing a go-forward strategy designed to simultaneously address short-term headwinds and to position us to achieve near- and long-term success by building upon and more fully leveraging our ultra-low latency, global network, and operational expertise. We are focused on three key areas:
Improving our core: Our ability to consistently grow revenue requires us to do a better job at managing the cost structure of our network while anticipating and providing our clients with the tools and reliable performance they need and to do it sooner and better than our competitors. Our recent revenue and profitability trends have been adversely impacted by our costs of services and operating expenses. Our operating expenses are largely driven by payroll and related employee costs. We have implemented a broader and more detailed operating model built on metrics, process discipline, and improvements to client satisfaction, performance, and cost. We are building an internal culture that embraces speed, transparency, and accountability. We also announced tangible steps to improve our cost competitiveness, with a reduction in workforce by approximately 16% in

March of 2021. As a result, our employee headcount decreased from 618 on December 31, 2020, to 510 on March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, our employee headcount was 529. We recorded additional restructuring charges of $1,770 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, for a total of $15,625 in restructuring and transition related costs during the first nine months of 2021. We believe these actions will result in approximately $15,000 of recurring annual savings, primarily in selling, general and administrative expense. We are also continuously seeking opportunities to be more efficient and productive in order to achieve cost savings and improve our profitability.
Expanding our core: In July 2021, we announced the hiring of Eric Armstrong as Senior Vice President of Growth. We are redesigning our commercial and product approaches to strengthen and broaden our key client relationships, to support a land and expand strategy. We believe that this, coupled with new edge-based tools and solutions we anticipate bringing to market, will assist in our ability to re-accelerate growth. Key elements of our plan to Expand the Core include tightening the alignment between our Sales and Marketing organizations, moving to a “client success” model that pairs client relationship managers with client performance managers to ensure proactive client success and exploring ways to dynamically optimize how we price our services that gives us more flexibility – and a renewed ability to sell more broadly into our existing client base.
Extending our core: Longer term, we believe we can drive meaningful improvements to profitability and growth by diversifying our capabilities, clients, and revenue mix. We need to enable digital builders to easily load content faster, personalize it more and protect it outside of a controlled environment. We believe we have an opportunity of extending the use of our network to new clients with new solutions that utilize non-peak traffic solutions. In September 2021, we announced the acquisition of Moov Corporation (Moov), a California corporation doing business as Layer0, a sub-scale SaaS based application acceleration and developer support platform, for total purchase consideration of $52,487. We believe this platform coupled with our global CDN network will be a catalyst in our pursuit of positioning us as an Edge Solutions platform. Following the acquisition of Moov:
We will be launching a new web application acceleration solution in the fourth quarter of 2021.
We have identified approximately $3,000 of recurring cost synergies.
We believe that this acquisition meaningfully improves our product management and development capabilities.
Also, following the acquisition, Ajay Kapur, Moov’s co-founder, became our Chief Technology Officer, and other Moov leadership assumed critical roles at Limelight.
We are committed to helping our clients deliver better digital experiences to their customers, create better returns for our shareholders, and provide our employees an environment in which they can grow, develop, and win.
The following table summarizes our revenue, costs, and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of total revenue):

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period

basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be U.S. GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, restructuring and transition related charges, acquisition and legal related expenses, and amortization of intangible assets. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, restructuring and transition related charges, and acquisition and legal related expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges, taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related to financing activities). These measures also enable our management to compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period, and allow management to review the performance of our on-going operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations “through the eyes of management.”
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus.
In our November 4, 2021, earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Non- GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;
these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
these measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
other companies may calculate Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
    Please see Note 2 of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of changes in significant accounting policies. In addition, our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive revenue primarily from the sale of our digital content delivery, video delivery, website development and acceleration, cloud security, edge compute, and origin storage services. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services and other infrastructure services, such as transit, rack space services, and hardware to help our clients build out edge solutions.
    The following table reflects our revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the

    Our revenue decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 periods, primarily due to a decrease in our delivery services revenue. The decrease in delivery services revenue was primarily due to lower traffic volumes with our largest client as a result of easing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and a reduced amount of new content released for consumption, as well as a decrease in our average selling price. We believe that we have improved our performance with many of our largest clients, and we are positioned to take advantage of volume growth as new content is released. Our active clients worldwide increased to 581 as of September 30, 2021, compared to 534 as of September 30, 2020. the increase was primarily driven by our business acquisition in September 2021.
    During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales to our top 20 clients accounted for approximately 77% and 79%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales to our top 20 clients accounted for approximately 76% and 77%, respectively, of our total revenue. The clients that comprised our top 20 clients change from time to time, and our large clients may not continue to be as significant going forward as they have been in the past.
    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had two clients, Amazon and Sony, who each represented 10% or more of our total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had one client, Amazon, who represented 10% or more of our total revenue.
    Revenue by geography is based on the location of the client from which the revenue is earned. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands and as a percentage of total revenue):

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of fees paid to network providers for bandwidth and backbone, costs incurred for non-settlement free peering and connection to Internet service providers, and fees paid to data center operators for housing of our network equipment in third party network data centers, also known as co-location costs. Cost of revenue also includes leased warehouse space and utilities, depreciation of network equipment used to deliver our content delivery services, payroll and related costs, and share-based compensation for our network operations and professional services personnel. Other costs include professional fees and outside services, travel and travel-related expenses, and royalty expenses.

Our cost of revenue increased in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 periods. The changes in cost of revenue were primarily a result of the following:
Bandwidth and co-location fees increased in aggregate dollars due to higher transit fees, as well as continued expansion in existing and new geographies.
Depreciation expense increased due to increased capital expenditures over the last two years.
Payroll and related employee costs were lower as a result of decreased network operations and professional services personnel and lower variable compensation.
Share-based compensation increased during the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in estimated annual variable compensation that will be paid out in restricted stock units and equity related to our recently completed business combination. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, share-based compensation decreased primarily as a result of lower variable compensation paid out in restricted stock units, and the impact of the reduction in workforce in March 2021 versus the comparable 2020 period.
Other costs increased primarily due to costs associated with the sale of equipment, increased international re-seller costs, professional fees, and increased fees and licenses. These increases were partially off-set by decreased contract royalties, and travel and entertainment expense.
General and Administrative
    General and administrative expense was composed of the following (in thousands and as a percentage of total revenue):

Our general and administrative expense increased in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 period.
The increase in aggregate dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 period was primarily driven by acquisition and legal related expenses and increased share-based compensation. The increase in share-based compensation relates to our recently completed business combination and for a sign-on bonus converted from cash to restricted stock units for our Chief Executive Officer. These increases were partially off-set by decreased payroll and related employee costs (lower variable compensation) and decreased fees and licenses which is included in other costs.

Table of Contents
The increase in aggregate dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 period was primarily driven by an increase in acquisition and legal related expenses, share based compensation, professional fees, and increased bad debt expense which is included in other costs. The increase in share-based compensation was the result of a transition agreement entered into between us and our former CEO who retired in January 2021, which modified existing share-based awards and resulted in additional share-based compensation. Share-based compensation also increased as a result of our recently completed business combination and for a sign-on bonus converted from cash to restricted stock units for our Chief Executive Officer. Professional fees increased due to higher legal fees associated with corporate and governance matters and other outside services. The decrease in other costs was the result of decreased fees and licenses, off-set by increased bad debt expense.
    We expect our general and administrative expenses for 2021 to increase in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue due primarily to transition related expenses and the acquisition of Moov.

Our sales and marketing expense decreased in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 periods.
The decrease in aggregate dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 periods was primarily driven by decreased payroll and related employee costs, decreased share-based compensation and decreased other costs. The decrease in payroll and related employee costs was due to the impact of the reduction in workforce in March 2021 and lower variable compensation. While share-based compensation increased during the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of our recently completed business combination, year-to-date share-based compensation decreased primarily due to lower equity variable compensation in the first nine months of 2021 versus the comparable 2020 period and the impact of the March 2021 reduction in workforce. The decrease in other costs was due to decreased other employee costs, lower facility costs, decreased travel and entertainment, and decreased fees and licenses, off-set by an increase in casual labor.
    We expect our sales and marketing expenses for 2021 to decrease as a result of the March 2021 reduction in workforce.
Research and Development

Table of Contents
The decrease in aggregate dollars during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to a decrease in payroll and related employee costs (reduced salaries and variable compensation due to lower headcount) and decreased share-based compensation. While share-based compensation increased during the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of our recently completed business combination, year-to-date share-based compensation decreased primarily due to lower equity variable compensation in the first nine months of 2021 versus the comparable 2020 period and the impact of the March 2021 reduction in workforce. These decreases were off-set by an increase in other costs, which was primarily due to increased fees and licenses and other employee costs.
    We expect our research and development expenses for 2021 to increase slightly in the second half of 2021 due to the acquisition of Moov.
Depreciation and Amortization (Operating Expenses)
    Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on equipment and furnishings used by general administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development personnel. Amortization expense consists of amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $730, or 1.3% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus $384, or 0.6% of revenue, for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense was $1,818, or 1.2% of revenue versus $1,049, or 0.6% of revenue, for the comparable 2020 period.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus the comparable 2020 periods was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of business. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, amortization of intangibles was approximately $321. Based on our intangible assets at September 30, 2021, we expect amortization of other intangible assets to be approximately $963 for the remainder of 2021, and $3,851, $3,851, $3,841, and $3,821 for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
Restructuring Charges
The restructuring charges for the three month period ended September 30, 2021, were the result of management's commitment to restructure certain parts of the company to align our workforce and facility requirements with our continued investment in the business as we focus on cost efficiencies, improved growth, and profitability.
The restructuring charges for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, were the result of management's commitment to restructure certain parts of the company to focus on cost efficiencies, improved growth, and profitability. As a result, certain headcount reductions were made, as well as incurring certain charges for facilities, right of use assets, outside service contracts, share-based compensation, and professional fees. Please refer to Note 11 "Restructuring Charge" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect to incur approximately $1,000 of additional restructure charges primarily for consulting fees to restructure our datacenter architecture over the next 12 months.
Interest Expense
    Interest expense was $1,308 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus $1,674 for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense was $3,899 versus $1,756 for the comparable 2020 period. Interest expense includes expense associated with the issuance of our senior convertible notes in July 2020 and fees associated with the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) originally entered into in November 2015.
Interest Income
Interest income was $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus $10 for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income was $104 versus $40 for the comparable 2020 period. Interest income includes interest earned on invested cash balances and marketable securities.
Other Income (Expense)
    Other expense was $209 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus other income of $25 for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other expense was $864 versus $396 for the comparable 2020 period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income/expense consisted primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, legal settlement, and the gain/loss on sale of fixed assets. For the three and
35

Table of Contents
nine months ended September 30, 2020, other income/expense consisted primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and the gain/loss on sale of fixed assets.
Income Tax Expense
Based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and discrete items, the estimated income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $211, versus $66 for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, income tax expense was $718 versus $377 for the comparable 2020 period. Income tax expense on our income (loss) before income taxes was different than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to our providing for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, and recording of state and foreign tax expense for the quarter. The effective income tax rate is based primarily upon forecasted income or loss for the year, the composition of the income or loss in different countries, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions for tax audits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities classified as current totaled $75,786. Included in this amount is approximately $10,329 of cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States. Changes in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are dependent upon changes in, among other things, working capital items such as deferred revenues, accounts payable, accounts receivable, accrued provision for litigation, and various accrued expenses, as well as purchases of property and equipment and changes in our capital and financial structure due to debt repurchases and issuances, stock option exercises, sales of equity investments, and similar events.
Cash from operations could also be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks detailed in Part II, Item 1A titled "Risk Factors". However, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. If the assumptions underlying our business plan regarding future revenue and expenses change or if unexpected opportunities or needs arise, we may seek to raise additional cash by selling equity or debt securities.
The major components of changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Operating Activities
    Net cash used in operating activities was $7,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus net cash provided by operating activities of $19,575 for the comparable 2020 period, a decrease of $26,905. Changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3,649 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus $(93) in the comparable 2020 period, were primarily due to:
accounts receivable increased $13,037 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of timing of collections as compared to a $8,221 increase in the comparable 2020 period;
prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased $1,678 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to a decrease in, prepaid bandwidth and backbone expenses and vendor deposits and other. These decreases were offset by an increase in VAT receivable and prepaid expenses and insurance, compared to an increase of $2,679 in the comparable 2020 period;
accounts payable and other current liabilities increased $8,163 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus an increase of $8,159 for the comparable 2020 period due to accrued account payable, accrued legal fees, and our restructuring charge accrual, off-set by a decrease in accrued cost of revenue, the timing of variable compensation, and vendor payments.
    Cash provided by operating activities may not be sufficient to cover new purchases of property and equipment during the remainder of 2021 and beyond. The timing and amount of future working capital changes and our ability to manage our days sales outstanding will also affect the future amount of cash used in or provided by operating activities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3,496 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus net cash used in investing activities of $71,917 for the comparable 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was related to the acquisition of a business, the purchase of marketable securities, and capital expenditures primarily for servers and network equipment associated with the build-out and expansion of our global computing platform, offset by cash received from the sale and maturities of marketable securities. For the nine months ended September

30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of marketable securities and capital expenditures primarily for servers and network equipment.
In September 2021 we acquired Moov. The purchase price included both cash and shares of our common stock. Cash paid, net of cash acquired, was approximately $30,968.
We expect to have ongoing capital expenditure requirements as we continue to invest in and expand our network. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made capital expenditures of $11,909, which represented approximately 8% of our total revenue. We currently expect capital expenditures in 2021 to be approximately $15 to $20 million, as we continue to increase the capacity of our global network and re-fresh our systems.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,115 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus net cash provided by financing activities of $109,107 for the comparable 2020 period. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily relates to cash received from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan of $5,460, offset by the payments of employee tax withholdings related to the net settlement of vested restricted stock units of $1,315.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily relates to cash received from the issuance of our 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 of $121,600, and the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan of $8,691, offset by $16,413 premium paid related to our capped call transactions, $784 payment of debt issuance costs, and the payments of employee tax withholdings related to the net settlement of vested restricted stock units of $3,987.
Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions
In July 2020, we issued $125,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes), with an initial conversion rate of 117.2367 shares of our common stock (equal to an initial conversion rate of $8.53 per share), subject to adjustment in some events. The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of ours and will be equal in right of payment with our senior, unsecured indebtedness; senior in right of payment to our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; effectively subordinated to our senior, secured indebtedness, including future borrowings, if any, under our $20,000 credit facility with SVB, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Notes are governed by an indenture (the Indenture) between us, as the issuer, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants.
The Notes mature on August 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their term prior to the maturity date. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 4, 2023.
On or after August 4, 2023, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
As of September 30, 2021, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had not been met and therefore the Notes are not yet convertible.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, we also entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (collectively, the Capped Calls). The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $8.53 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $13.38 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The capped call transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.7 million shares of our common stock and are expected to offset the potential economic dilution to our common stock up to the initial cap price.

Line of Credit                 
In November 2015 we entered into the Credit Agreement with SVB. Since the inception, there have been seven amendments, with the most recent amendment being in December 2020. The maximum principal commitment amount remains at $20,000. Our borrowing capacity is the lesser of the commitment amount or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. All outstanding borrowings owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable no later than the final maturity date of November 2, 2022. As long as our Adjusted Quick Ratio remains above 1.5 to 1, we no longer are required to submit quarterly borrowing base reports.    
    As of September 30, 2021, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the current prime rate minus 0.25%. In the event of default, obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 3% above the then applicable rate. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, and we had availability under the Credit Agreement of $20,000 and $20,000, respectively.
    Financial Covenants and Borrowing Limitations
    The Credit Agreement requires, and any future credit facilities will likely require, us to comply with specified financial requirements that may limit the amount we can borrow. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default. Our ability to satisfy those covenants depends principally upon our ability to meet or exceed certain financial performance results. Any debt agreements we enter into in the future may further limit our ability to enter into certain types of transactions.
    We are required to maintain an Adjusted Quick Ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0. We are also subject to certain customary limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions and other investments, make certain restricted payments such as dividends, dispose of assets or undergo a change in control. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with our covenant under the Credit Agreement.
    For a more detailed discussion regarding our Credit Agreement, please refer to Note 10 "Debt - Line of Credit" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
    We may be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations imposed on us by restrictive covenants within the Credit Agreement. These restrictions may also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans and adversely affect our ability to finance our operations, enter into acquisitions, execute our business strategy, effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted or engage in other business activities that would be in our interest. In the future, we may also incur debt obligations that might subject us to additional and different restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. We cannot assure you that we will be granted waivers or amendments to the indenture governing the Credit Agreement, or such other debt obligations if for any reason we are unable to comply with our obligations thereunder or that we will be able to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, or at all, should we seek to do so. Any such limitations on borrowing under the Credit Agreement, including payments related to litigation, could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and our ability to continue as a going concern could be impaired.
Share Repurchases
    On March 14, 2017, our board of directors authorized a $25,000 share repurchase program. Any shares repurchased under this program will be canceled and returned to authorized but unissued status. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase any shares under the repurchase program. As of September 30, 2021, there remained $21,200 under this share repurchase program.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities, and Commercial Commitments
In the normal course of business, we make certain long-term commitments for right-of-use (ROU) assets, primarily office facilities, and purchase commitments for bandwidth and computer rack space. These commitments expire on various dates ranging from 2021 to 2030. We expect that the growth of our business will require us to continue to add to and increase our ROU assets and long-term commitments in 2021 and beyond. As a result of our growth strategies, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources requirements will grow.
    The following table presents our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, as of September 30, 2021, over the next five years and thereafter:

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk        
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt and investment portfolio. In our investment portfolio, we do not use derivative financial instruments. Our investments are primarily with our commercial and investment banks and, by policy, we limit the amount of risk by investing primarily in money market funds, United States Treasury obligations, high quality corporate and municipal obligations, and certificates of deposit. Interest expense on our line of credit under the Credit Agreement, as amended, is at the current prime rate minus 0.25%. In the event of default, obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 3% above the then applicable rate. An increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would add $10 of interest expense per year, to our financial position or results of operations, for each $1,000 drawn on the line of credit. As of September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings against the line of credit.
Foreign Currency Risk
We operate in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. As a result of our international business activities, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or economic conditions in foreign markets, and there is no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not harm our business in the future. We have foreign currency exchange rate exposure on our results of operations as it relates to revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. A portion of our cost of revenues and operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies as are our revenues associated with certain international clients. To the extent that the U.S. dollar weakens, similar foreign currency denominated transactions in the future will result in higher revenues and higher cost of revenues and operating expenses, with expenses having the greater impact on our financial results. Similarly, our revenues and expenses will decrease if the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and, where appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we are not currently engaged in any financial hedging transactions. Assuming a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to our foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, would have been higher by approximately $3,903, and our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, would have been higher by approximately $3,134. There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented, primarily due to the assumption that foreign exchange rate movements across multiple jurisdictions are similar and would be linear and instantaneous. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex markets or other changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect our results of operations.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Credit Risk
During any given fiscal period, a relatively small number of clients typically account for a significant percentage of our revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales to our top 20 clients accounted for approximately 77% and 79%, respectively, of our total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had
39

Table of Contents
two clients, Amazon and Sony, who each represented more than 10% of our total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had one client, Amazon, who represented more than 10% of our total revenue.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales to our top 20 clients accounted for approximately 76% and 77%, respectively, of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had two clients, Amazon and Sony, who each represented more than 10% of our total revenue.
In 2021, we anticipate that our top 20 client concentration levels will remain consistent with 2020. In the past, the clients that comprised our top 20 clients have continually changed, and our large clients may not continue to be as significant going forward as they have been in the past.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.        Legal Proceedings         
    For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please refer to Note 12 "Contingencies - Legal Matters" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
    Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item II, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. All information is presented in thousands, except per share amounts, client count, head count and where specifically noted.
Risks Related to Industry Dynamics and Competition
We currently face competition from established competitors and may face competition from others in the future.
We compete in markets that are intensely competitive, where differentiation is primarily measured by performance and cost where the difference between providers can be as small as a fraction of a percent or penny. In these markets, vendors offer a wide range of alternate solutions, and in a multi-CDN environment, our clients can route traffic to us, or away from us, within seconds, and at minimal costs. This naturally results in on-going price compression, and increased competition on features, functionality, integration and other factors. Several of our current competitors, as well as a number of our potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader client relationships and industry alliances, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a consequence of the hyper competitive dynamics in our markets, we have experienced price compression, and an increased requirement for product advancement and innovation in order to remain competitive, which in turn have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and operating results.
Our primary competitors for our services include, among others, Akamai, Lumen Technologies, Amazon, Fastly, StackPath, and Verizon Digital Media Services. In addition, a number of companies have recently entered or are currently attempting to enter our market, either directly or indirectly. These new entrants include companies that have built internal content delivery networks to solely deliver their own traffic, rather than relying solely, largely or in part on content delivery specialists, such as us. Some of these new entrants may become significant competitors in the future. Given the relative ease by which clients typically can switch among service providers in a multi-CDN environment, differentiated offerings or pricing by competitors could lead to a rapid loss of clients. Some of our current or potential competitors may bundle their offerings with other services, software or hardware in a manner that may discourage content providers from purchasing the services that we offer. In addition, we face different market characteristics and competition with local content delivery service providers as we expand internationally. Many of these international competitors are very well positioned within their local markets. Increased competition could result in price reductions and revenue shortfalls, loss of clients and loss of market share, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to develop, improve, and expand our new services, to extend enhancements to the existing portfolio of services that we offer, or if we fail to predict and respond to emerging technological trends and clients’ changing needs, our operating results and market share may suffer.
The market for our services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and new product and service introductions. Our operating results depend on our ability to help our clients deliver better digital experiences to their customers, understand user preferences, and predict industry changes. Our operating results also depend on our ability to improve and expand our solutions and services on a timely basis, and develop and extend new services into existing and emerging markets. This process is complex and uncertain. We must commit significant resources to improving and expanding our existing services before knowing whether our investments will result in services the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not successfully execute our initiatives because of errors in planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, misunderstandings about market demand or a lack of appropriate resources. As prices for our core services fall, we will increasingly rely on new capabilities, product offerings, and other service offerings to maintain or increase our gross margins. Failures in execution, delays in improving and expanding our services, failures to extend our

Table of Contents
service offerings, or a market that does not accept the services and capabilities we introduce could result in competitors providing more differentiation than we do, which could lead to loss of market share, revenue, and earnings.
Risks Relating to Our Operations
Any unplanned interruption or degradation in the functioning or availability of our network or services, or attacks on or disruptions to our internal information technology systems, could lead to increased costs, a significant decline in our revenue, and harm to our reputation.
Our business is dependent on providing our clients with an exceptional digital experience that is fast, efficient, safe, and reliable every minute of every day. Our services could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, failure or refusal of our third-party network providers to provide the necessary capacity or access, failure of our software or global network infrastructure and power losses. In addition, we deploy our servers in third-party co-location facilities, and these third-party co-location providers could experience system outages or other disruptions that could constrain our ability to deliver our services.
We may also experience business disruptions caused by security incidents, such as software viruses and malware, unauthorized hacking, DDoS attacks, security system control failures in our own systems or from vendors we or our clients use, email phishing, software vulnerabilities, social engineering, or other cyberattacks. These types of security incidents have been increasing in sophistication and frequency and sometimes result in the unauthorized access to or use of, and/or loss of intellectual property, client or employee data, trade secrets, or other confidential information. The economic costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, viruses, worms, malicious software programs, and other security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service, and loss of existing or potential clients.
Any material interruption or degradation in the functioning of our services for any reason could reduce our revenue and harm our reputation with existing and potential clients, and thus adversely impact our business and results of operations. This is true even if such interruption or degradation was for a relatively short period of time, but occurred during the streaming of a significant live event, launch by a client of a new streaming service, or the launch of a new video-on-demand offering.
If we are unable to sell our services at acceptable prices relative to our costs, our revenue and gross margins will decrease and our business and financial results will suffer.
Our once innovative and highly valued service has become commoditized in its current form and we are often in a multi-CDN supplier environment, where our clients can route traffic to us, or away from us, within seconds. This naturally results in on-going price compression. Simultaneously, we invest significant amounts in purchasing capital equipment as part of our effort to increase the capacity of our global network. Our investments in our infrastructure are based upon our assumptions regarding future demand, anticipated network utilization, as well as prices that we will be able to charge for our services. These assumptions may prove to be wrong. If the price that we are able to charge clients to deliver their content falls to a greater extent than we anticipate, if we over-estimate future demand for our services, are unable to achieve an acceptable rate of network utilization, or if our costs to deliver our services do not fall commensurate with any future price declines, we may not be able to achieve acceptable rates of return on our infrastructure investments, and our gross profit and results of operations may suffer dramatically.
As we further expand our global network and services, and as we refresh our network equipment, we are dependent on significant future growth in demand for our services to justify additional capital expenditures. If we fail to generate significant additional demand for our services, our results of operations will suffer, and we may fail to achieve planned or expected financial results. There are numerous factors that could, alone or in combination with other factors, impede our ability to increase revenue, moderate expenses, or maintain gross margins, including:
continued price declines arising from significant competition;
increasing settlement fees for certain peering relationships;
failure to increase sales of our services;
increases in electricity, bandwidth and rack space costs or other operating expenses, and failure to achieve decreases in these costs and expenses relative to decreases in the prices we can charge for our services and products;
failure of our current and planned services and software to operate as expected;
loss of any significant or existing clients at a rate greater than our increase in sales to new or existing clients;
failure to increase sales of our services to current clients as a result of their ability to reduce their monthly usage of our services to their minimum monthly contractual commitment;
failure of a significant number of clients to pay our fees on a timely basis or at all or to continue to purchase our services in accordance with their contractual commitments; and
inability to attract high quality clients to purchase and implement our current and planned services.

Table of Contents
A significant portion of our revenue is derived collectively from our video delivery services, cloud security, edge compute, and origin storage services. These services tend to have higher gross margins than our content delivery services. We may not be able to achieve the growth rates in revenue from such services that we or our investors expect or have experienced in the past. If we are unable to achieve the growth rates in revenue that we expect for these service offerings, our revenue and operating results could be significantly and negatively affected.
Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2020, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of $229,900 and $154,500, respectively, due to prior period losses. In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” can be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from past ownership changes. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code.  In addition, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act), the amount of post 2017 NOLs that we are permitted to deduct in any taxable year is limited to 80% of our taxable income in such year, where taxable income is determined without regard to the NOL deduction itself. In addition, the Tax Act generally eliminates the ability to carry back any NOL to prior taxable years, while allowing post 2017 unused NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely. There is a risk that due to changes under the Tax Act, regulatory changes, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may not be able to realize a tax benefit from the use of our NOLs, whether or not we attain profitability.
We may have difficulty scaling and adapting our existing architecture to accommodate increased traffic and technology advances or changing business requirements. This could lead to the loss of clients and cause us to incur unexpected expenses to make network improvements.
    Our services and solutions are highly complex and are designed to be deployed in and across numerous large and
complex networks. Our global network infrastructure has to perform well and be reliable for us to be successful. We will need to continue to invest in infrastructure and client success to account for the continued growth in traffic (and the increased complexity of that traffic) delivered via networks such as ours. We have spent and expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on the purchase and lease of equipment and data centers and the upgrade of our technology and network infrastructure to handle increased traffic over our network, implement changes to our network architecture and integrate existing solutions and to roll out new solutions and services. For example, during 2020, we increased our network capacity by more than 41% to over 90 terabits per second through software enhancements and hardware additions. This expansion is expensive and complex and could result in inefficiencies, operational failures or defects in our network and related software. If we do not implement such changes or expand successfully, or if we experience inefficiencies and operational failures, the quality of our solutions and services and user experience could decline. Cost increases or the failure to accommodate increased traffic or these evolving business demands without disruption could harm our operating results and financial condition. For example, supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, increased demand, and political unrest (among other reasons) impact, and will likely continue to impact, our ability to procure equipment for upgrades, replacement parts, and network expansion within our expected price range or in extreme cases, at all. Global supply chain issues also affect our ability to timely deploy equipment, such as servers and other components required to keep our network up-to-date and growing to meet our customers' needs. Such delays in procuring and deploying the equipment required for our network could affect the quality and delivery time of services to our existing customers and prevent us from acquiring the network equipment needed to expand our business. Also, from time to time, we have needed to correct errors and defects in our software or in other aspects of our network. In the future, there may be additional errors and defects that may harm our ability to deliver our services, including errors and defects originating with third party networks or software on which we rely. These occurrences could damage our reputation and lead to the loss of current and potential clients, which would harm our operating results and financial condition.
Rapid increase in the use of mobile and other devices to access the Internet present significant development and deployment challenges.
The number of people who access the Internet through devices other than PCs, including mobile devices, game consoles and television set-top devices continues to increase dramatically. The capabilities of these devices are advancing exponentially, and the increasing need to provide a high-quality video experience will present us with significant challenges. If we are unable to deliver our service offerings to a substantial number of alternative device users and at a high quality, or if we are slow to develop services and technologies that are more compatible with these devices, we may fail to capture a significant share of an important portion of the market. Such a failure could limit our ability to compete effectively in an industry that is rapidly growing and changing, which, in turn, could cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to suffer.

Our operations are dependent in part upon communications capacity provided by third party telecommunications providers. A material disruption of the communications capacity could harm our results of operations, reputation and client relations.
We enter into arrangements for private line capacity for our backbone from third party providers. Our contracts for private line capacity generally have terms of three to four years. The communications capacity may become unavailable for a variety of reasons, such as physical interruption, technical difficulties, contractual disputes, or the financial health of our third party providers. Also, industry consolidation among communications providers could result in fewer viable market alternatives, which could have an impact on our costs of providing services. Alternative providers are currently available; however, it could be time consuming and expensive to promptly identify and obtain alternative third party connectivity. Additionally, as we grow, we anticipate requiring greater private line capacity than we currently have in place. If we are unable to obtain such capacity from third party providers on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all, our business and financial results would suffer. Similarly, if we are unable to timely deploy enough network capacity to meet the needs of our client base or effectively manage the demand for our services, our reputation and relationships with our clients would be harmed, which, in turn, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks associated with international operations that could harm our business.
We have operations in numerous foreign countries and may continue to expand our sales and support organizations internationally. As part of our business strategy, we intend to expand our international network infrastructure. Expansion could require us to make significant expenditures, including the hiring of local employees or resources, in advance of generating any revenue. As a consequence, we may fail to achieve profitable operations that will compensate our investment in international locations. We are subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, lengthen our sales cycle and require significant management attention. These risks include, but are not limited to:
increased expenses associated with sales and marketing, deploying services and maintaining our infrastructure in foreign countries;
competition from local service providers, many of which are very well positioned within their local markets;
challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences;
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements preventing or limiting us from operating our global network or resulting in unanticipated costs and delays;
interpretations of laws or regulations that would subject us to regulatory supervision or, in the alternative, require us to exit a country, which could have a negative impact on the quality of our services or our results of operations;
legal systems that may not adequately protect contract and intellectual property rights, policies, and taxation, the physical infrastructure of the country;
potential political turmoil;
longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
corporate and personal liability for violations of local laws and regulations;
currency exchange rate fluctuations and repatriation of funds;
potentially adverse tax consequences;
credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud; and
foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned outside the United States.
There can be no assurance that these international risks will not materially adversely affect our business. Should there be significant productivity losses, or if we become unable to conduct operations in international locations in the future, and our contingency plans are unsuccessful in addressing the related risks, our business could be adversely affected.
Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to third party controlled end-user access networks.
Our services depend on our ability to access certain end-user access networks in order to complete the delivery of rich media and other online content to end-users. Some operators of these networks may take measures that could degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of our or our clients’ access to certain of these end-user access networks. Such measures may include restricting or prohibiting the use of their networks to support or facilitate our services, or charging increased fees to us, our clients or end-users in connection with our services. In 2015, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released network neutrality and open Internet rules that reclassified broadband Internet access services as a telecommunications service subject to some elements of common carrier regulation. Among other things, the FCC order prohibited blocking or discriminating against lawful services and applications and prohibited "paid prioritization," or providing faster speeds or other benefits in return for compensation. In 2017, the FCC overturned these rules. As a result, we or our clients could experience increased cost or slower data on these third-party networks. If we or our clients experience increased cost in delivering content to end users, or otherwise, or if end users perceive a degradation of quality, our business and that of our
44

Table of Contents
clients may be significantly harmed. This or other types of interference could result in a loss of existing clients, increased costs and impairment of our ability to attract new clients, thereby harming our revenue and growth.
In addition, the performance of our infrastructure depends in part on the direct connection of our network to a large number of end-user access networks, known as peering, which we achieve through mutually beneficial cooperation with these networks. In some instances, network operators charge us for the peering connections. If, in the future, a significant percentage of these network operators elected to no longer peer with our network or peer with our network on less favorable economic terms, then the performance of our infrastructure could be diminished, our costs could increase and our business could suffer.
We use certain “open-source” software, the use of which could result in our having to distribute our proprietary software, including our source code, to third parties on unfavorable terms, which could materially affect our business.
Certain of our service offerings use software that is subject to open-source licenses. Open-source code is software that is freely accessible, usable and modifiable. Certain open-source code is governed by license agreements, the terms of which could require users of such open-source code to make any derivative works of such open-source code available to others on unfavorable terms or at no cost. Because we use open-source code, we may be required to take remedial action to protect our proprietary software. Such action could include replacing certain source code used in our software, discontinuing certain of our products or features or taking other actions that could divert resources away from our development efforts.
In addition, the terms relating to disclosure of derivative works in many open-source licenses are unclear. We periodically review our compliance with the open-source licenses we use and do not believe we will be required to make our proprietary software freely available. Nevertheless, if a court interprets one or more such open-source licenses in a manner that is unfavorable to us, we could be required to make some components of our software available at no cost, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Our business requires the continued development of effective business support systems to support our client growth and related services.
The growth of our business depends on our ability to continue to develop effective business support systems. This is a complicated undertaking requiring significant resources and expertise. Business support systems are needed for implementing client orders for services, delivering these services, and timely and accurate billing for these services. The failure to continue to develop effective business support systems could harm our ability to implement our business plans and meet our financial goals and objectives.
Risks Relating to our Clients and Demand for our Services
We depend on a limited number of clients for a substantial portion of our revenue in any fiscal period, and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these clients could significantly harm our results of operations.
A relatively small number of clients typically account for a significant percentage of our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales to our top 20 clients accounted for approximately 76% of our total revenue and we had two clients, Amazon and Sony, who each represented more than 10% of our total revenue.
In the past, the clients that comprised our top 20 clients have continually changed, and we also have experienced significant fluctuations in our individual clients’ usage of, or decreased usage of, our services. As a consequence, we may not be able to adjust our expenses in the short term to address the unanticipated loss of a large client during any particular period. As such, we may experience significant, unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results that may cause us to not meet our expectations or those of stock market analysts, which could cause our stock price to decline.
Rapidly evolving technologies or new business models could cause demand for our services to decline or could cause these services to become obsolete.
Clients, potential clients, or third parties may develop technological or business model innovations that address digital delivery requirements in a manner that is, or is perceived to be, equivalent or superior to our service offerings. This is particularly true as our clients increase their operations and begin expending greater resources on delivering their content using third party solutions. If we fail to offer services that are competitive to in-sourced solutions, we may lose additional clients or fail to attract clients that may consider pursuing this in-sourced approach, and our business and financial results would suffer.
If competitors introduce new products or services that compete with or surpass the quality or the price or performance of our services, we may be unable to renew our agreements with existing clients or attract new clients at the prices and levels that allow us to generate attractive rates of return on our investment. We may not anticipate such developments and may be unable to adequately compete with these potential solutions. In addition, our clients’ business models may change in ways that
45

Table of Contents
we do not anticipate, and these changes could reduce or eliminate our clients’ needs for our services. If this occurred, we could lose clients or potential clients, and our business and financial results would suffer.
As a result of these or similar potential developments, it is possible that competitive dynamics in our market may require us to reduce our prices faster than we anticipate, which could harm our revenue, gross margin and operating results.
Many of our significant current and potential clients are pursuing emerging or unproven business models, which, if unsuccessful, or ineffective at monetizing delivery of their content, could lead to a substantial decline in demand for our content delivery and other services.
Many of our clients’ business models that center on the delivery of rich media and other content to users remain unproven. Some of our clients will not be successful in selling advertising, subscriptions, or otherwise monetizing the content we deliver on their behalf, and consequently, may not be successful in creating a profitable business model. This will result in some of our clients discontinuing their business operations and discontinuing use of our services and solutions. Further, any deterioration and related uncertainty in the global financial markets and economy, such as that caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit, fluctuations in equity and currency values worldwide, and concerns that portions of the worldwide economy may be in a prolonged recessionary period. In addition, as the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the global financial markets and economy, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section. Any of this could materially adversely impact our clients’ access to capital or willingness to spend capital on our services or, in some cases, ultimately cause the client to exit their business. This uncertainty may also impact our clients’ levels of cash liquidity, which could affect their ability or willingness to timely pay for services that they will order or have already ordered from us. From time to time we discontinue service to clients for non-payment of services. We expect clients may discontinue operations or not be willing or able to pay for services that they have ordered from us.
If we are unable to attract new clients or to retain our existing clients, our revenue could be lower than expected and our operating results may suffer.
If our existing and prospective clients do not perceive our services to be of sufficiently high value and quality, we may not be able to retain or expand business with our current clients or attract new clients. We sell our services pursuant to service agreements that generally include some form of financial minimum commitment. Our clients have no obligation to renew their contracts for our services after the expiration of their initial commitment, and these service agreements may not be renewed at the same or higher level of service, if at all. Moreover, under some circumstances, some of our clients have the right to cancel their service agreements prior to the expiration of the terms of their agreements. Aside from minimum financial commitments, clients are not obligated to use our services for any particular type or amount of traffic. For those clients who utilize a multi-CDN strategy, they can route traffic to us, or away from us, within seconds. These facts, in addition to the hyper competitive landscape in our market, means that we cannot accurately predict future client renewal rates or usage rates. Our clients’ usage or renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including:
their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our services;
the quality and reliability of our network;
the prices of our services;
the prices of services offered by our competitors;
discontinuation by our clients of their Internet or web-based content distribution business;
mergers and acquisitions affecting our client base; and
reductions in our clients’ spending levels.
If our clients do not renew their service agreements with us, or if they renew on less favorable terms, our revenue may decline and our business may suffer. Similarly, our client agreements often provide for minimum commitments that are often significantly below our clients’ historical usage levels. Consequently, even if we have agreements with our clients to use our services, these clients could significantly curtail their usage without incurring any penalties under our agreements. In this event, our revenue would be lower than expected and our operating results could suffer. It also is an important component of our growth strategy to market our services and solutions to particular industries or market segments. As an organization, we may not have significant experience in selling our services into certain of these markets. Our ability to successfully sell our services into these markets to a meaningful extent remains unproven. If we are unsuccessful in such efforts, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
We generate our revenue primarily from the sale of content delivery services, and the failure of the market for these services to expand as we expect or the reduction in spending on those services by our current or potential clients would seriously harm our business.
46

Table of Contents
While we offer our clients a number of services and solutions, we generate the majority of our revenue from charging our clients for the content delivered on their behalf through our global network. We are subject to an elevated risk of reduced demand for these services. Furthermore, if the market for delivery of rich media content in particular does not continue to grow as we expect or grows more slowly, then we may fail to achieve a return on the significant investment we are making to prepare for this growth. Our success, therefore, depends on the continued and increasing reliance on the Internet for delivery of media content and our ability to cost-effectively deliver these services. Many different factors may have a general tendency to limit or reduce the number of users relying on the Internet for media content, the amount of content consumed by our clients’ users, or the number of providers making this content available online, including, among others:
a general decline in Internet usage;
third party restrictions on online content, including copyright, digital rights management, and geographic restrictions;
system impairments or outages, including those caused by hacking or cyberattacks; and
a significant increase in the quality or fidelity of off-line media content beyond that available online to the point where users prefer the off-line experience.
    The influence of any of these or other factors may cause our current or potential clients to reduce their spending on content delivery services, which would seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
If our ability to deliver media files in popular proprietary content formats was restricted or became cost-prohibitive, demand for our content delivery services could decline, we could lose clients and our financial results could suffer.
Our business depends on our ability to deliver media content in all major formats. If our legal right or technical ability to store and deliver content in one or more popular proprietary content formats was limited, our ability to serve our clients in these formats would be impaired and the demand for our services would decline by clients using these formats. Owners of propriety content formats may be able to block, restrict, or impose fees or other costs on our use of such formats, which could lead to additional expenses for us and for our clients, or which could prevent our delivery of this type of content altogether. Such interference could result in a loss of clients, increased costs, and impairment of our ability to attract new clients, any of which would harm our revenue, operating results, and growth.
Risks Relating to Human Capital Management
Failure to effectively enhance our sales capabilities could harm our ability to increase our client base and achieve broader market acceptance of our services.
Increasing our client base and achieving broader market acceptance of our services will depend to a significant extent on our ability to enhance our sales and marketing operations. We have a widely deployed field sales force. Our sales personnel are closer to our current and potential clients. Nevertheless, adjustments that we make to improve productivity and efficiency to our sales force have been and will continue to be expensive and could cause some near-term productivity impairments. As a result, we may not be successful in improving the productivity and efficiency of our sales force, which could cause our results of operations to suffer.
We believe that there is significant competition for sales personnel with the sales skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenue in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel. New hires require significant training and, in most cases, take a significant period of time before they achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as we would like, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business. Our business will be seriously harmed if our sales force productivity efforts do not generate a corresponding significant increase in revenue.
If we are unable to retain our key employees and hire qualified personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key technology, sales, marketing, and support personnel who have critical industry experience and relationships that they rely on in implementing our business plan. There is considerable competition for talented individuals with the specialized knowledge to deliver our services, and this competition affects our ability to hire and retain key employees. Historically, we have experienced a significant amount of employee turnover, especially with respect to our sales personnel. Sales personnel that are relatively new may need time to become fully productive. Inability to retain or hire key employees could disrupt our operations, delay the development and introduction of our services, and negatively impact our ability to sell our services.
Risks Relating to Intellectual Property, Litigation, and Regulations
Our involvement in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
47

Table of Contents
    We have been involved in multiple intellectual property lawsuits in the past. We are from time to time party to other lawsuits. The outcome of all litigation is inherently unpredictable. The expenses of defending these lawsuits, particularly fees paid to our lawyers and expert consultants, have been significant to date. If the cost of prosecuting or defending current or future lawsuits continues to be significant, it may continue to adversely affect our operating results during the pendency of such lawsuits. Lawsuits also require a diversion of management and technical personnel time and attention away from other activities to pursue the defense or prosecution of such matters. In addition, adverse rulings in such lawsuits either alone or cumulatively may have an adverse impact on our revenue, expenses, market share, reputation, liquidity, and financial condition.
We need to defend our intellectual property and processes against patent or copyright infringement claims, which may cause us to incur substantial costs and threaten our ability to do business.
Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors and non-practicing entities, may hold or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our services or develop new services, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We have been and continue to be the target of intellectual property infringement claims by third parties. Companies holding Internet-related patents or other intellectual property rights are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise asserting their rights and seeking licenses. Any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources from the defense of such claims. In addition, many of our agreements with clients require us to defend and indemnify those clients for third-party intellectual property infringement claims against them, which could result in significant additional costs and diversion of resources. If we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may also be required to do one or more of the following:
cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
pay substantial damages;
obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may or may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or
redesign products or services.
If we are forced to litigate any claims or to take any of these other actions, our business may be seriously harmed.
Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use or infringement by third parties.
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We have applied for patent protection in the United States and a number of foreign countries. These legal protections afford only limited protection and laws in foreign jurisdictions may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Monitoring infringement of our intellectual property rights is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights. Developments and changes in patent law, such as changes in interpretations of the joint infringement standard, could restrict how we enforce certain patents we hold. We also cannot be certain that any pending or future patent applications will be granted, that any future patent will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that rights granted under any patent that may be issued will provide competitive advantages to us. If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed.
Internet-related and other laws relating to taxation issues, privacy, data security, and consumer protection and liability for content distributed over our network could harm our business.
Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online or providing Internet-related services such as ours. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the businesses of our clients, which could reduce their demand for our services. For example, tax authorities abroad may impose taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generate based on where our internationally deployed servers are located. In addition, domestic and international taxation laws are subject to change. Our services, or the businesses of our clients, may become subject to increased taxation, which could harm our financial results either directly or by forcing our clients to scale back their operations and use of our services in order to maintain their operations. Also, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the Act), and the regulations promulgated by the FCC under Title II of the Act, may impose obligations on the Internet and those participants involved in Internet-related businesses. In addition, the laws relating to the liability of private network operators for information carried on, processed by or disseminated through their networks are unsettled, both in the United States and abroad. Network operators have been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material disseminated through their networks. We may become subject to legal claims such as defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement in connection with content stored on or distributed through our network. In addition, our reputation could suffer as a result of our perceived association with the type of content that some
48

Table of Contents
of our clients deliver. If we need to take costly measures to reduce our exposure to the risks posed by laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet, or are required to defend ourselves against related claims, our financial results could be negatively affected.
Several other laws also could expose us to liability and impose significant additional costs on us. For example, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not eliminate, our liability for the delivery of client content that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with certain statutory requirements. Also, the Children’s On-line Privacy Protection Act restricts the ability of online services to collect information from minors and the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act of 1998 requires online service providers to report evidence of violations of federal child pornography laws under certain circumstances. There are also emerging regulation and standards regarding the collection and use of personal information and protecting the security of data on networks. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and standards is complex and any failure on our part to comply with these regulations may subject us to additional liabilities.
We are subject to stringent privacy and data protection requirements and any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such requirements could expose us to liability and have an adverse impact on our business.
We are subject to stringent laws and legal requirements that regulate our collection, processing, storage, use and sharing of certain personal information, including the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Brazil's Lei Geral de Protecao de Dados Pessoais (LGPD), and in the United States, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), among others. GDPR specifically imposes strict rules regulating data transfers of personal data from the EU to the United States. These laws and regulations are costly to comply with, could expose us to civil penalties and substantial penalties for non-compliance, as well as private rights of action for data breaches, all of which could increase our potential liability. This could also delay or impede the development or adoption of our products and services, reduce the overall demand for our services, result in negative publicity, increase our operating costs, require significant management time and attention, slow the pace at which we close (or prevent us from closing) sales transactions. Furthermore, these laws have prompted a number of proposals for new US and global privacy legislation, which, if enacted, could add additional complexity and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources, and impact strategies and require changes in business practices and policies.
We expect that we will continue to face uncertainty as to whether our evolving efforts to comply with our obligations under privacy laws will be sufficient. If we are investigated by data protection regulators, we may face fines and other penalties. Any such investigation or charges by data protection regulators could have a negative effect on our existing business and on our ability to attract and retain new clients.
Privacy concerns could lead to regulatory and other limitations on our business, including our ability to use “cookies” and video player “cookies” that are crucial to our ability to provide services to our clients.
Our ability to compile data for clients depends on the use of “cookies” to identify certain online behavior that allows our clients to measure a website or video’s effectiveness. A cookie is a small file of information stored on a user’s computer that allows us to recognize that user’s browser or video player when the user makes a request for a web page or to play a video. Certain privacy laws regulate cookies and/or require certain disclosures regarding cookies or place restrictions on the sending of unsolicited communications. In addition, Internet users may directly limit or eliminate the placement of cookies on their computers by, among other things, using software that blocks cookies, or by disabling or restricting the cookie functions of their Internet browser software and in their video player software. If our ability to use cookies were substantially restricted due to the foregoing, or for any other reason, we would have to generate and use other technology or methods that allow the gathering of user data in order to provide services to clients. This change in technology or methods could require significant re-engineering time and resources, and may not be complete in time to avoid negative consequences to our business. In addition, alternative technology or methods might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the use of cookies is prohibited and we are not able to efficiently and cost effectively create new technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we and our clients are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
In 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected work forces, organizations, governments, clients, economies, and financial markets globally, and led to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. For example, in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, we activated our pandemic response plan and took several precautionary steps early to safeguard our business and our people, including implementing travel bans and restrictions, temporarily closing offices, and canceling
49

Table of Contents
participation in various industry events. The continued persistence of this outbreak, as well as intensified measures undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19, could decrease consumer spending, adversely affect demand for our technology and services, cause some of our clients and partners to exit their business, cause one or more of our clients to fail to renew, terminate, or renegotiate their contracts, affect the ability of our sales team to travel to potential clients, impact expected spending from new clients, and negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Also, the sales cycle for a new client of our technology and services could lengthen, resulting in a potentially longer delay between increasing operating expenses and the generation of corresponding revenue, if any. We cannot predict whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue, and expect to face difficulty accurately predicting our internal forecasts for the foreseeable future. The outbreak also presents challenges as our workforce is currently working remotely and shifting to assisting new and existing clients who are also generally working remotely. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Risks Relating to Strategic Transactions
As part of our business strategy, we may acquire businesses or technologies and may have difficulty integrating these operations.
We may seek to acquire businesses or technologies that are complementary to our business in the future. Acquisitions are often complex and involve a number of risks to our business, including, among others:
the difficulty of integrating the operations, services, solutions and personnel of the acquired companies;
the potential disruption of our ongoing business;
the potential distraction of management;
the possibility that our business culture and the business culture of the acquired companies will not be compatible;
the difficulty of incorporating or integrating acquired technology and rights;
expenses related to the acquisition and to the integration of the acquired companies;
the impairment of relationships with employees and clients as a result of any integration of new personnel;
employee turnover from the acquired companies or from our current operations as we integrate businesses;
risks related to the businesses of acquired companies that may continue following the merger; and
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired companies.
    If we are not successful in completing acquisitions, or integrating completed acquisitions in a timely manner, we may be required to reevaluate our business strategy, and we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without a productive result. Acquisitions will require the use of our available cash or dilutive issuances of securities. Future acquisitions or attempted acquisitions could also harm our ability to achieve profitability.
Risks Related to Investments and Our Outstanding Convertible Notes
If we are required to seek funding, such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
    We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as current plus cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and proposed capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need or desire to obtain funding due to a number of factors, including a shortfall in revenue, increased expenses, increased investment in capital equipment, the acquisition of significant businesses or technologies, or adverse judgments or settlements in connection with future, unforeseen litigation. If we do need to obtain funding, it may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business would be harmed. Even if we were able to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities in a transaction that could be highly dilutive to our investors or we may be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities we have outstanding today. We might also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to generate or raise capital that is sufficient to fund our operations, we may be required to curtail operations, reduce our capabilities or cease operations in certain jurisdictions or completely.

Servicing our debt may require a significant amount of cash. We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness.
In July 2020, we issued $125,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes) in a private offering. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations sufficient to service our debt or make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt or equity financing on terms that may be
50

Table of Contents
onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance any future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, any of our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.
Our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Notes.
We incurred $125,000 principal amount of additional indebtedness as a result of our issuance of the Notes. We may also incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs, including under our credit facility with SVB. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations, and financial condition by, among other things:
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;
requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;
limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;
diluting the interests of our stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our stock upon conversion of the Notes; and
placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.
Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the Notes, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, the Credit Agreement governing our credit facility contains, and any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change, or to pay any cash amounts due upon conversion, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay cash upon their conversion.
Holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase their Notes following a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligation in cash unless we elect to settle conversions solely in shares of our common stock. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities, and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. Our failure to repurchase the Notes or to pay the cash amounts due upon conversion when required will constitute a default under the indenture governing the Notes. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the Notes.
The accounting method for the Notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results.
The accounting method for reflecting the Notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the Notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition. We expect that, under applicable accounting principles, the initial liability carrying amount of the Notes will be the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have a conversion feature, valued using our cost of capital for straight, non-convertible debt. We expect to reflect the difference between the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes and the initial carrying amount as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the Notes, which will result in
51

lower reported income or higher reported losses. The lower reported income or higher reported losses resulting from this accounting treatment could depress the trading price of our common stock and the Notes.
However, in August 2020, FASB published ASU 2020-06, eliminating the separate accounting for the debt and equity components as described above. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for SEC-reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 (or, in the case of smaller reporting companies, December 15, 2023), including interim periods within those fiscal years. On January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 eliminated the separate accounting described above and will reduce the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the Notes for accounting purposes. In addition, ASU 2020-06 eliminates the use of the treasury stock method for convertible instruments that can be settled in whole or in part with equity, and instead require application of the “if-converted” method. Under that method, if it is adopted, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the Notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share. Also, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no Note-holders convert their Notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.
Transactions relating to our Notes may affect the value of our common stock.
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (collectively, the Capped Calls) with one of the initial purchasers of the Notes and other financial institutions (collectively, the Option Counterparties). The Capped Calls cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Notes. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution of our common stock upon conversion of the Notes or at our election (subject to certain conditions) offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap.
In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and from time to time prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date of the Capped Calls, which are expected to occur during the 40 trading day period beginning on the 41st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the Notes, or following any termination of any portion of the Capped Calls in connection with any repurchase, redemption, or conversion of the Notes if we make the relevant election under the Capped Calls). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock.
We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Calls.
The Option Counterparties are financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the Capped Calls. Our exposure to the credit risk of the Option Counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Past global economic conditions have resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Capped Calls with such option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increase in the market price subject to the cap and in the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the Option Counterparties.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile.
The trading prices of our common stock and the securities of technology companies generally have been highly volatile. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock will include:
variations in our operating results;
announcements of technological innovations, new services or service enhancements, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;
commencement or resolution of, our involvement in and uncertainties arising from litigation;
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by securities analysts;
52

Table of Contents
if we or our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of options and warrants);
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
the gain or loss of significant clients;
market conditions in our industry, the industries of our clients, and the economy as a whole, including the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to our business.
In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events or speculation of events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us.  
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion or report, our stock, our stock price, and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If an analyst issues an adverse or misleading opinion, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease covering us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Future equity issuances or a sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Because we may need to raise additional capital in the future to continue to expand our business and our research and development activities, among other things, we may conduct additional equity offerings. If we or our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of options and warrants) in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. A decline in the market price of our common stock could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. These provisions:
establish that members of the board of directors may be removed only for cause upon the affirmative vote of stockholders owning a majority of our capital stock;
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;
limit who may call special meetings of stockholders;
prohibit action by written consent, thereby requiring stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings;
provide for a board of directors with staggered terms; and
provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by a resolution of our board of directors.
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes certain restrictions relating to transactions with major stockholders, may discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us.
General Risk Factors
We are subject to the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, which could affect our operating results.
The financial condition and results of operations of our operating foreign subsidiaries are reported in the relevant local currency and are then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate for inclusion in our consolidated U.S. dollar financial statements. Also, although a large portion of our client and vendor agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars, we may be exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates with respect to client agreements with certain of our international clients. Exchange rates between these currencies and U.S. dollars in recent years have fluctuated significantly and may do so in the future. In addition to currency translation risk, we incur currency transaction risk whenever one of our operating subsidiaries enters into a transaction using a different currency than the relevant local currency. Given the volatility of exchange rates, we may be unable to manage our currency transaction risks effectively. Currency fluctuations could have a material adverse effect
53

on our future international sales and, consequently, on our financial condition and results of operations.
We could incur charges due to impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.
As of September 30, 2021, we had a goodwill balance of approximately $105,221, which is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Our long-lived assets also are subject to periodic testing for impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in the periodic testing. Failure to achieve sufficient levels of cash flow could result in impairment charges for goodwill or fixed asset impairment for long-lived assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations. Our goodwill impairment analysis also includes a comparison of the aggregate estimated fair value of our reporting unit to our total market capitalization. If our stock trades below our book value, a significant and sustained decline in our stock price and market capitalization could result in goodwill impairment charges. During times of financial market volatility, significant judgment will be used to determine the underlying cause of the decline and whether stock price declines are short-term in nature or indicative of an event or change in circumstances. Impairment charges, if any, resulting from the periodic testing are non-cash.
Our results of operations may fluctuate in the future. As a result, we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause our stock price to decline.
Our results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. In addition to the effects of other risks discussed in this section, fluctuations in our results of operations may be due to a number of factors, including, among others:
our ability to increase sales to existing clients and attract new clients to our services;
the addition or loss of large clients, or significant variation in their use of our services;
costs associated with current or future intellectual property lawsuits and other lawsuits;
service outages or third party security breaches to our platform or to one or more of our clients’ platforms;
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and the adequacy of available funds to meet those requirements;
the timing and success of new product and service introductions by us or our competitors;
the occurrence of significant events in a particular period that result in an increase in the use of our services, such as a major media event or a client’s online release of a new or updated video game or operating system;
changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;
the timing of recognizing revenue;
limitations of the capacity of our global network and related systems;
the timing of costs related to the development or acquisition of technologies, services or businesses;
the potential write-down or write-off of intangible or other long-lived assets;
general economic, industry and market conditions (such as fluctuations experienced in the stock and credit markets during times of deteriorated global economic conditions or during an outbreak of an epidemic or pandemic, such as the recent COVID-19 outbreak) and those conditions specific to Internet usage;
limitations on usage imposed by our clients in order to limit their online expenses; and
war, threat of war or terrorism, including cyber terrorism, and inadequate cybersecurity.
We believe that our revenue and results of operations may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of one period as an indication of future performance.
We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
    We incur significant expenses in developing our technology and maintaining and expanding our network. We also incur significant share-based compensation expense and have incurred (and may in the future incur) significant costs associated with litigation.  Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability for the foreseeable future. We also may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability and thus may continue to incur losses in the future for a number of reasons, including, among others:
slowing demand for our services;
increasing competition and competitive pricing pressures;
any inability to provide our services in a cost-effective manner;
incurring unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays; and
other risks described in this report.
54

Table of Contents
If we fail to achieve and maintain profitability, the price of our common stock could decline, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to corporate governance.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant public company expenses, including accounting, legal and other professional fees, insurance premiums, investor relations costs, and costs associated with compensating our independent directors. In addition, rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq impose additional requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. For example, the Nasdaq listing requirements require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these governance matters. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.
If the accounting estimates we make, and the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our financial statements prove inaccurate, our actual results may be adversely affected.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about, among other things, taxes, revenue recognition, share-based compensation costs, contingent obligations, and doubtful accounts. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, the amounts of charges accrued by us, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our estimates or the assumptions underlying them are not correct, we may need to accrue additional charges or reduce the value of assets that could adversely affect our results of operations, investors may lose confidence in our ability to manage our business and our stock price could decline.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls or fail to implement our controls and procedures with respect to acquired or merged operations, our ability to produce accurate financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
We must ensure that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis. We are required to spend considerable effort on establishing and maintaining our internal controls, which is costly and time-consuming and needs to be re-evaluated frequently.
We have operated as a public company since June 2007, and we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as we comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as new rules implemented from time to time by the SEC and Nasdaq. These rules impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices, increased reporting of compensation arrangements, and other requirements. Our management and other personnel will continue to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, new rules and regulations will likely increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
Section 404 of SOX requires that we include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our audited financial statements as of the end of each fiscal year. Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (EY), is required to report on whether it believes we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the year. Our continued compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance related issues, including our efforts in implementing controls and procedures related to acquired or merged operations. We currently do not have an internal audit group and use an international accounting firm to assist us with our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In future years, if we fail to timely complete this assessment, or if EY cannot timely attest, there may be a loss of public confidence in our internal controls, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to regulatory sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to timely meet our regulatory reporting obligations.
Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our operating results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of existing accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning
55

of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.
Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In connection with our acquisition of Moov Corporation (Moov), a California corporation doing business as Layer0, in September 2021, we issued 6,878 shares of our common stock valued at $18,433 as partial consideration for 100% of the equity interests of Moov.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares (other than any Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii) which are dissenting shares, as defined in Section 1300 of the CCC, if any (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted or represent a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration as described in Section 2.6(b)(i), but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the CCC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment therefor pursuant to the CCC shall receive payment from the Final Surviving Entity in accordance with the CCC; provided, however, that (i) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish his entitlement to dissenter rights as provided under the CCC, (ii) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn his demand for appraisal thereof or lost his right to appraisal and payment therefor under the CCC, or (iii) if neither any holder of Dissenting Shares nor the Final Surviving Entity shall have filed a petition demanding a determination of the value of all Dissenting Shares within the time provided under the CCC, then such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such Shares and such Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i), without interest.
(b)The Company shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the CCC and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the CCC.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any indemnifiable claims have been brought in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and are unresolved as of the Indemnity Escrow Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the amount of such Unresolved Claim until such claim is fully resolved in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth herein. Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Adjustment Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.
2.10Specified Matters Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at the Closing, Buyer shall withhold from the cash amount otherwise payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c) and/or Section 2.6(d)(i) such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Special Matters Escrow Amount and shall deposit an amount of cash equal to the Specified Matters Escrow Amount in immediately available funds into a non-interest bearing escrow account, such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the “Specified Matters Escrow Fund”). The Specified Matters Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent for purposes of the payment to Buyer in satisfaction of any indemnification or other claims of any Buyer Indemnified Party required by Section 8, if any, and to the Company Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. On the date that is the 18-month anniversary of the Closing (the “Specified Matters Early Release Date”), Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Specified Matters Early Release Amount, if any, to the Exchange Agent, and, in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. On the date that is the three-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Specified Matters Release Date”), Buyer and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any indemnifiable claims have been brought in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and are unresolved as of the Specified Matters Escrow Release Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the amount of such Unresolved Claim until such claim is fully resolved in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth herein. Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and Company Securityholders agree that for all income Tax purposes, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Specified Matters Escrow Fund and any payment made out of the Specified Matters Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders (in their capacity as such) is intended to be treated as deferred consideration and shall be subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Schedule of Indebtedness, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the amounts of all such unpaid Indebtedness for borrowed money (including the identity of each lender, dollar amounts, wire instructions and any other information necessary for Buyer to effect the final payment in full thereof) and indicating that upon receipt of such amounts that all such Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. At Closing, Buyer shall pay to each such lender the amount of Indebtedness set forth in the Schedule of Indebtedness with respect to such lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

2.13Expense Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at the Closing, Buyer shall withhold from the cash amount otherwise payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c) and/or Section 2.6(d)(i) such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Expense Fund and will wire to the Securityholders’ Representative $150,000 (the “Expense Fund”), which will be held by the Securityholders’ Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Company Securityholders in a segregated client account and which will be used: (i) for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Representative for, any Securityholders’ Representative Expenses, as defined herein, pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Securityholders’ Representative will hold the Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make it available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Securityholders’ Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders. As soon as practicable following
28



the completion of the Securityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Securityholders’ Representative will deliver the remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent, and in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, to the Final Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. For income tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Securityholders at Closing. The Securityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder except as required by applicable Law.
2.14Payment for Securities; Exchange Mechanics.
(a)On or prior to the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall appoint a national bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the First Merger. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall make, or cause to be made, deposits of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration (which shall be comprised of such proportions of cash and Buyer Common Stock to enable the payment of the total Adjusted Aggregate Consideration and the total Per Vested Company Option Consideration to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof) to the Exchange Agent.
(b)As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each holder of Vested Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet, (i) in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or the Company and who are to receive their portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration from Buyer, an Optionholder Joinder Agreement, (ii) in the case of holders of Vested Company Options who are not subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or the Company and who are to receive their portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration from the Exchange Agent, an optionholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Optionholder Letter of Transmittal”) and an Optionholder Joinder Agreement. As soon as commercially practicable after the Closing Date and upon receipt by the Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, of such Optionholder Letter of Transmittal and Optionholder Joinder Agreement, Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to such holder of Vested Company Options who is not subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, in exchange therefor, the Per Vested Company Option Consideration in respect of such Vested Company Options so surrendered for cancellation by such holder, and Buyer shall cause to be paid through the Final Surviving Entity’s payroll practices as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, no later than the first (1st) applicable regularly scheduled payroll distribution following the Closing Date), to such holder of Vested Company Options who is subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Buyer, in exchange therefor, the Per Vested Company Option Consideration in respect of such Vested Company Options so surrendered for cancellation by such holder. No portion of the Per Vested Company Option Consideration or the Additional Per Vested Company Option Consideration, shall be delivered to the holder of any Vested Company Option, as the case may be, until the holder of record of such Vested Company Option shall have delivered to the
29



Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, the Optionholder Letter of Transmittal and the Optionholder Joinder Agreement.
(c)As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise deliver to (A) each Company Stockholder a stockholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal”) and a Stockholder Joinder, to extent not already signed and received by the Company, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet and (B) each Company Warrantholder a warrantholder letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Warrantholder Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal and the Optionholder Letter of Transmittal, the “Letters of Transmittal”) and a Warrantholder Joinder, in each case, to the extent not already sign and received by the Company, to the email or physical address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet. Following delivery of a duly completed and validly executed Stockholder Letter of Transmittal by a Company Stockholder, the electronic certificates administered by Carta, Inc. representing such Company’s Stockholder’s shares of the Company Capital Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) shall be deemed surrendered. Upon surrender (or deemed surrender) of the Company Stock Certificates and the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent or Buyer, as applicable, shall deliver to the holder of such Company Stock Certificates, the consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(b) in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock so surrendered for cancellation by such holder. The Company Stock Certificates so surrendered (or deemed surrendered) shall be canceled. Until so surrendered (or deemed surrendered), after the Effective Time, subject to appraisal rights under the CCC, each Company Stock Certificate will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Section 2. No portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration shall be paid to any Company Stockholder that has not surrendered (or been deemed to have surrendered) his, her or its Company Stock Certificate until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender (or be deemed to have surrendered) such Company Stock Certificate and the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal pursuant hereto.
(d)Return of Adjusted Aggregate Consideration. Any portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration that becomes due and payable to the Company Securityholders and remains unclaimed by the former holders of the Company Capital Stock, holders of In-the-Money Warrants or holders of Vested Company Options for one (1) year after (i) in the case of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration, the Effective Time and (ii) in the case of the Aggregate Additional Consideration, the date on which such Aggregate Additional Consideration becomes due and payable to the Company Securityholders, shall be delivered to Buyer. Any former holder of Company Capital Stock or In-the-Money Warrants or holder of Company Options that has not complied with Section 2.14 prior to the end of such one-year period shall thereafter look only to Buyer (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) but only as a general creditor thereof for payment of its claim for its portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration. Any portion of the Adjusted Aggregate 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 Buyer, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereof. No interest shall be payable for any shares of Buyer Common Stock delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) or
30



cash which is subsequently delivered to any former holder of Company Capital Stock or In-the-Money Warrants or holder of Company Options.
(e)No Further Rights in the Company Capital Stock. The portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration paid or payable in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares and there shall be no further registration of transfer on the records of the Final Surviving Entity of such shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented (or deemed presented) to the Final Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.14.
(f)Lost Certificates or Documentation. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate or documents to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent or the Final Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or document, the applicable portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration to which such Person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6.
(g)No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued in exchange for any Company Capital Stock, and no holder of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock. In the event that any holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable to such holder), then (i) if the fractional share would have been half a share or greater, then (A) the proportion of consideration payable to such holder in Buyer Common Stock shall be increased by an amount determined by multiplying (1) the Buyer Stock Price by (2) the remaining fraction of a share necessary to make a full share and (B) the proportion of consideration payable to such holder in cash shall be decreased by the same amount and (ii) if the fractional share would have been less than half a share, then such holder shall be paid an amount in Dollars (without interest) determined by multiplying (A) the Buyer Stock Price by (B) the fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, in which case Buyer shall make available to the Exchange Agent the amount of cash necessary to make such payments. The parties acknowledge that adjustments in lieu of issuing fractional shares contemplated hereby were not separately bargained for consideration but represent merely a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the problems that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock.
2.15Withholding Taxes.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement and shall timely pay over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of the U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable legal requirement and to request any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as
31



applicable, or any similar information. If the Company, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, or the Exchange Agent intends to deduct or withhold any amount as required by any Tax law from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, the Company, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) the Person to whom such payments are to be made advance notice of its intent to deduct or withhold amounts from such payments, and (ii) a reasonable opportunity for the Person to provide forms, documents or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(b)Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties make no representations or warranties to any holders of any Company Capital Stock or holders of Company Options regarding the tax treatment of the Merger, or any of the tax consequences to the Company or any such holder of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

If Buyer fails to deliver the Buyer Closing Statement within such ninety (90) day period, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its election, to either (1) determine that the estimates delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.17(a) shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to be the final statement for purposes of calculating the Final Closing Working Capital, Final Closing Indebtedness, Final Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Closing Cash, and such determination shall, in such case, be binding on Buyer with Buyer having no further rights to object or require adjustments thereto or (2) require Buyer to deliver the Buyer Closing Statement within ten (10) days of the Securityholders’ Representative’s demand therefor.
(ii)Unless the Securityholders’ Representative delivers a Dispute Notice (as defined below) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Buyer Closing Statement, the Buyer Closing Statement shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement,” and the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculation of Buyer Closing Working Capital, Buyer Closing Indebtedness, Buyer Closing Transaction Expenses and Buyer Closing Cash set forth therein, which shall be binding upon the Company Securityholders and Buyer and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If the Securityholders’ Representative disagrees with the Buyer Closing Statement, the Securityholders’ Representative may, within forty-five (45) days after receipt thereof, notify Buyer in writing (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall provide reasonable detail of the nature of each disputed item on the Buyer Closing Statement, including reasonable supporting documentation thereto, and the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Buyer Closing Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(b). Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute between themselves and, if Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative are able to resolve such dispute, the Buyer Closing Statement and the calculation of Buyer Closing Working Capital, Buyer Closing Indebtedness, Buyer Closing Transaction Expenses and/or Buyer Closing Cash shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution, shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement” and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Securityholders and Buyer and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after engagement, the Accountants shall deliver a written report to Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative as to the resolution of the disputed items, the resulting calculation of the Buyer Closing Statement as of the Closing Date. The Buyer Closing Statement as determined by the Accountants shall be deemed the “Final Closing Statement,” and the calculation of Buyer Closing Working Capital, Buyer Closing Indebtedness, Buyer Closing Transaction Expenses and/or Buyer Closing Cash, in each case, as determined by the Accountants, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Securityholders and Buyer and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be allocated between the parties based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective representatives and independent accountants to cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in this Section 2.17(b), including, without limitation, the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(iii)In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, sales, use or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a
68



fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
(e)Tax Refunds. Tax refunds that are received by the Company on or after the Closing Date that relate to Taxes paid by the Company in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Indemnified Taxes borne by Company Securityholders shall be for the account of the Company Securityholders, and Buyer shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to pay to the Company Securityholders their pro-rated portion of any such refund, less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining such refund (for the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable costs, may include costs relating to engaging a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm), within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt thereof. To the extent any such Tax refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable tax authority subsequent to a good faith defense where such Tax refund was challenged by a taxing authority (provided that the costs of such defense shall be borne by the Company Securityholders), the Company Securityholders agree promptly to repay to Buyer the amount of such Tax refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such tax authority with respect to such disallowance.
(f)Tax Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of any claim which involves the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(v) or Section 8.2(a)(x) as it relates to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that the Securityholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim at the Company Securityholders’ expense, and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense, and Buyer will keep the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably informed and consider any comments of the Securityholders’ Representative in good faith. Buyer, the Company, and the Securityholders’ Representative agree to give prompt written notice to each other of the receipt of any written notice by any of them which involves a Tax Claim; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, unless the party who was supposed to receive such notice has been materially prejudiced by such failure.
(g)To the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.9 conflict with the provisions of Section 8, this Section 5.9 shall control.

The Company and Buyer shall each use its commercially reasonably efforts not to (and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any other affiliate of Buyer (including the Final Surviving Entity) to) take any action (or fail to take any action) prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or fail to take any action (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any
69



other affiliate of Buyer, including the Final Surviving Entity, from taking any action or failing to take any action) following the Closing, which would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(b)The Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of determining the value of Buyer Common Stock to be received by the Company Securityholder pursuant to the First Merger under Revenue Procedure 2018-12, 2018-6 IRB 349 (“Rev.

Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.11(b) below, the Final Surviving Entity shall, for a period of not less than six years from the Closing Date (x) maintain provisions in the certificate of formation and the operating agreement of the Final Surviving Entity concerning the indemnification and exoneration of the Company Indemnified Parties that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company as of the Agreement Date, and (y) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by applicable Law.
(b)The aggregate liability of the Final Surviving Entity under Section 5.11(a) to all Company Indemnified Parties shall be limited to any recovery under the D&O Tail Policy or amounts actually recovered by the Final Surviving Entity under the indemnification claims made by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8. Prior to or at the Closing, the Company shall purchase at its sole costs and expense a prepaid “tail coverage” insurance policy, which policy provides liability insurance coverage for the directors and officers of the Company on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such directors and officers for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the Merger (such policy, the “D&O Tail Policy”). The D&O Tail Policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Final Surviving Entity or any provision in any indemnification or other agreement to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound, no exculpation or other provision in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Final Surviving Entity or any such agreement shall be deemed to exculpate any such person from its obligations under this Agreement.
5.12Employee and Related Matters.
(a)Following the date hereof, Buyer shall offer employment packages to certain of the Company’s employees determined by Buyer after consultation with the Company (such employees, excluding the Key Employee and the Retention Employees, the “Offered Employees”), which employment packages will contain terms substantially comparable to those of each Offered Employee immediately prior to the date hereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all of the Offered Employees become continuing employees of Buyer or its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company), by encouraging the Offered Employees to execute and deliver to Buyer and to take no action to revoke, rescind or repudiate (i) an offer letter in substantially the form identified by Buyer for such Person (collectively, the “Continuing Employee Offer Letters”, and, together with the Key Employee Offer Letters, the “Offer Letters”) with the effectiveness of such agreement conditioned upon the Closing and (ii) and CIIAA with the Company (such continuing employees, “Continuing Employees”).
(b)With respect to each Continuing Employee, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending twelve (12) months after the Effective Time (or earlier to the extent any applicable Continuing Employee’s employment terminates earlier), except to the extent better terms are provided to any such Continuing Employee in his or her Offer Letter, Buyer agrees to provide each Continuing Employee with base salary, target bonus, and employee benefits (excluding any equity-based compensation, retention or change-in-control benefits and retiree and health and welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable to those of such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing.
(c)With respect to any benefit plan maintained by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer in which any Continuing Employee will be eligible to participate, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the terms of the applicable benefit plans, to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such Continuing Employee under the group health plans of the Company prior to the Closing and (ii) provide each such Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid prior to
71



the Closing in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan. Where applicable, subject to the terms of the applicable benefit plans, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit or cause to be credited each Continuing Employee’s length of service with the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting, under Buyer’s employee benefit plans to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was recognized under the analogous Company benefit plan; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits.
(d)In the event that any employee of the Company is not offered continued employment by Buyer or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing or declines to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer, the Company shall terminate the employment of such employee effective prior to the Closing and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer a separation agreement or similar document in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, including a release of claims in favor of the Company and an acknowledgment that all payments owed to such employee have been paid in full, unless otherwise requested by Buyer reasonably in advance of the Closing. The Company shall be responsible for making any payments, including severance required or agreed to in order to terminate such employees who are not offered continued employment by Buyer prior to Closing or who decline to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer; provided that any such severance shall be in accordance with the Company’s severance practices as set forth on Schedule 5.12(b)-1, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Company. In the case of such employees who decline to accept an offer of employment made by Buyer, the Company shall reflect such payments (including any taxes related thereto) incurred by the Company as of the Closing or anticipated to be incurred or payable after the Closing as a Company Transaction Expense. Any Excluded Severance shall be borne by Buyer and shall not be a Company Transaction Expense or a current liability for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital.

Each of the Parties covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to do all acts and things as may be required to carry out their obligations hereunder and to consummate this Agreement, including executing, sealing and delivering all such other instruments and other documents, and take all such other actions, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

5.16Registration on Form S-8. Buyer shall file with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options and Buyer shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement thereafter for so long as any of such Assumed Options remain outstanding.

From and after the Closing, each Indemnifying Securityholder (severally and not jointly, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share) shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company), and their respective direct and indirect partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, related to, accrued or incurred in connection with:
(i)any breach of or inaccuracies in any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered to Buyer at the Closing;
(ii)any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation in this Agreement to be performed by the Company on or prior to the Closing hereunder;
(iii)regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information, or breach of any representation or warranty, set forth in the Spreadsheet, including any failure to properly calculate the Company Closing Cash, Company Closing Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, the Adjusted Aggregate Consideration, the Company Securityholders’ Pro Rata Shares and the Company Securityholders’ Adjustment Pro Rata Shares;

(vi)any Securityholder-Related Claims;
(vii)the PPP Loan;
(viii)any Company Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness that remain outstanding and unpaid immediately prior to the Effective Time (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby) that have not been taken into account in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount;
(ix)any payments paid with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the amounts that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6 upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares and any costs or expenses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection therewith;
(x)for three (3) years from and after the Closing, disregarding any disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule, the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2(a)(x) (collectively, the “Specified Matters”); and
(xi)any costs and expenses of enforcement to recover Losses due to any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Section 8.
(b)Materiality. For purposes of determining whether or not there has been an inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty as well as the amount of any Loss incurred in connection with any inaccuracy or a breach of a representation or warranty for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), all references to “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualifiers included in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.
(c)Valuation of Shares of Buyer Common Stock. An Indemnifying Securityholder may satisfy an obligation to indemnify a Buyer Indemnified Party using (i) cash, (ii) shares of Buyer Common Stock or (iii) a combination thereof, at such Indemnifying Securityholder’s discretion. Any shares of Buyer Common Stock surrendered for such purpose shall be valued at the Buyer Stock Price for the purpose of satisfying such indemnification obligation.
8.3Limitations.
(a)Deductible. Subject to Section 8.3(c), no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) until such time as the total amount of all Losses arising from any inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of such Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $275,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”). If the total amount of such Loss exceeds the Deductible Amount, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the portion of such Loss exceeding the Deductible Amount, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
80



(b)Recourse to Indemnity Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 8.3(c), recourse by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and R&W Insurance Policy shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement against the Indemnifying Securityholders for monetary Loss resulting from the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i).
(c)Applicability of Escrow Amount Cap; Indemnification Cap.
(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Indemnifying Securityholder): (A) in the event of any claim of Fraud; or (B) to claims regarding inaccuracies in or breaches of the Fundamental Representations.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the total amount of indemnification payments that each Indemnifying Securityholder can be required to make to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (in excess of the amount, if any, that was withheld with respect to such Indemnifying Securityholder as a contribution to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and paid to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund) shall be limited to an amount equal to (A) the aggregate cash actually paid and (B) the value of shares of Buyer Common Stock (valued at the Buyer Stock Price) actually issued to such Indemnifying Securityholder (prior to deduction of any Taxes, if any) (the “Individual Cap”); provided that the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise restrict the right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue remedies (X) under any Ancillary Agreement against the parties thereto or (Y) in connection with any claim of Fraud by any Indemnifying Securityholder against such Indemnifying Securityholder (for which there shall be no limitation of liability hereunder).
(iii)Except with respect to (X) any claim of Fraud by or on behalf of the Company, and (Y) inaccuracies in or breaches of any Fundamental Representations, for the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i), the following order of priority shall apply for recovery: (1) first, after the Deductible Amount, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund until such funds are exhausted; and (2) second, to the extent covered by R&W Insurance Policy, from the R&W Insurance Policy by collecting insurance proceeds therefrom.
(iv)With respect to any of the matters referred to in Sections 8.2(a)(ii)-8.2(a)(ix) and 8.2(a)(xi), the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, seek to recover amounts in respect of such claims (1) directly from the Indemnifying Securityholders or (2) from the Indemnity Escrow Fund.
(v)With respect to any of the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(x) (or any claim that could be reasonably characterized as a claim under Section 8.2(a)(x)), the following order of priority shall apply for recovery: (1) first, from the Specified Matters Escrow Fund until such funds are exhausted; and (2) second, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, seek to recover amounts in respect of such claims (A) directly from the Indemnifying Securityholders or (B) from the Indemnity Escrow Fund.
(vi)Any indemnification owed by the Indemnifying Securityholders to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for a breach of any Fundamental
81



Representation, the matters to which Section 5 applies or in the case of any claim of Fraud by or on behalf of the Company shall be satisfied: (A) first, by disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, which at the time of such claim is being held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (provided, that in the event a subsequent claim for indemnification resulting in Losses owed by the Company Securityholders to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) within the Expiration Date, matters to which Section 5 applies or in the case of Fraud, the Indemnifying Securityholders shall remain liable for the aggregate amounts paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this clause (A)), (B) second, directly from the Indemnifying Securityholders up to the remainder of the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy, (C) third, to the extent the Buyer Indemnifiable Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy and to the extent the claim is covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, from and against the R&W Insurance Policy, and (D) finally, if (A) the claim is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy and the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, or (B) the Buyer Indemnifiable Parties’ indemnifiable Losses exceed the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy, and coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect thereto, then in each case, against the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to Section 8.3(c)(ii).
(vii)The payment of any cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any indemnification obligations under this Article 8 shall be made, with respect to each Indemnifying Securityholder with consideration subject to vesting, including, without limitation, the Retention Holdback Amount, first with cash subject to vesting or other restrictions and then, if such cash is insufficient to satisfy such indemnification obligation and only to the extent of such insufficiency, shall such payment be made with vested cash. In the event any unvested cash of the Key Employee that is placed in the Indemnity Escrow Fund is forfeited by such Key Employee, such unvested cash shall be paid to Buyer out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and reduce dollar-for-dollar the amount that would be paid to such Key Employee at the time any cash in the Indemnity Escrow Fund is paid to the Indemnifying Securityholder.
(d)The right to indemnification based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement will 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, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 8.3(f) below, this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing for any claims arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this Section 8.3(e) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief; provided, further, that this Section 8.3(e) shall not prevent or limit any claim in the event of fraud (with the element of scienter) or willful breach by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Securityholder.
82



(f)The Parties acknowledge the applicability of the common law duty to mitigate damages.
(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining the amount of Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(a) or Section 5, there shall be deducted from any Losses an amount equal to the amount of any proceeds actually received by any Buyer Indemnified Party from any third-party insurer (including, the R&W Insurance Policy) (less any costs incurred in connection with obtaining such proceeds, including any premium adjustments). In the event any Buyer Indemnified Party first recovers against the Indemnifying Securityholders directly for any particular Losses and thereafter recovers for the same Losses pursuant to any existing insurance policies, then the amount recovered pursuant to such existing insurance policies (up to the amount first recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Securityholders and less any costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such proceeds, including any premium adjustments and reasonable and out-of-pocket investigation costs) shall promptly be paid to the Final Surviving Entity and Exchange Agent, as applicable, by Buyer, for further distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover any applicable Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent the applicable claim is covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, before the Indemnifying Securityholders make any payments for such Losses or amounts are distributed from the Indemnity Escrow Fund with respect to the claim at issue; provided that Buyer shall not be precluded from asserting in parallel a claim for Losses against the Indemnifying Securityholders or the Indemnity Escrow Fund as otherwise permitted in this Section 8.
(h)Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Ancillary Agreement against the parties thereto.
(i)All payments (if any) made to a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a breach of this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Base Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.
(j)No Buyer Indemnified Party is to be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Section 8 to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Party has recovered the full cash amount of such Losses pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or otherwise, so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under more than one provision of this Agreement with respect to Losses, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to only one indemnification or recovery for such Losses to the extent it arises out of the same set of circumstances and events. This Section 8.3(j) is intended solely to preclude a duplicate recovery by a Buyer Indemnified Party. Nothing herein shall preclude a Buyer Indemnified Party from seeking the maximum amount of potential indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.4No Contribution. Each Indemnifying Securityholders waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Indemnifying Securityholder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right
83



or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Indemnifying Securityholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of itself, and each Indemnifying Securityholder expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Buyer or the Company.
8.5Claims Procedures. Other than in respect of claims to be made under the R&W Insurance Policy as set forth in this Section 8, any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 (and, at the option of any Buyer Indemnified Party, any claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)) shall be brought and resolved as follows:
(a)If any Buyer Indemnified Party has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, a Loss for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, such Buyer Indemnified Party may deliver a claim certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Securityholders’ Representative. Each Claim Certificate shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Buyer Indemnified Party’s claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Buyer Indemnified Party might be entitled. Such Buyer Indemnified Party may update a Claim Certificate from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof. If a claim under this Section 8 may be brought under different or multiple sections, clauses or sub-clauses of Section 8 (or with respect to different or multiple representations, warrants or covenants), then, subject to the conditions, qualifications and limitations and other provisions of this Section 8, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring such claim under any or each such section, clause, subclauses, representation, warranty or covenant (each a “Subject Provision”) that it chooses, and the Buyer Indemnified Party will not be precluded from seeking indemnification under any Subject Provision by virtue of the Buyer Indemnified Party not being entitled to seek indemnification under any other Subject Provision.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under this Section 8, any Buyer Indemnified Party may make a claim directly against the Indemnifying Securityholders by delivering a Claim Certificate to such Indemnifying Securityholder. Such Buyer Indemnified Party may update a Claim Certificate from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof.
(c)After the giving of any Claim Certificate pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 8 shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Securityholders’ Representative, (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) by any other means to which the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Securityholders’ Representative shall agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.
84



(d)Subject to Section 8.7 and the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, in the event that any Losses are determined to be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party, each Indemnifying Securityholder shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination of Losses hereunder, wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indemnifying Securityholders’ Pro Rata Share, multiplied by (y) the aggregate amount of such Losses (other than Losses arising out of, related to or incurred or accrued in connection with any Fraud by a Indemnifying Securityholder, for which the applicable Indemnifying Securityholder responsible for such breach or act shall wire transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the entire aggregate amount of such Loss).
8.6Third Party Claims.
(a)Third Party Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Company, Buyer or any other Person) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of any of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Securityholders are obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to promptly give such written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Securityholders of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Securityholders are actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties. The Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in or, upon providing written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Parties within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim in which the Securityholders’ Representative acknowledges on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders without qualification the Indemnifying Securityholders’ indemnification obligation hereunder (subject only to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.3 and this Section 8.6), to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Securityholders’ expense and by the Securityholders’ Representative own counsel. In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.7(b), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall cooperate reasonably in the defense thereof. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Securityholders’ Representative’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Buyer Indemnified Parties; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, there are legal defenses available to a Buyer Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Securityholders, such fees and disbursements shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Securityholders. If the Securityholders’ Representative elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to give timely and sufficient notification to the Buyer Indemnified Parties in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or loses its right to defend such Third Party Claim by failing to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may, subject to Section 8.6(b), without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder, pay, compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from
85



or relating to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.6, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, investigation or allegation, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or relief other than for monetary Damages against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (iii) the Buyer Indemnified Parties reasonably believe that the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, (iv) an actual or readily apparent conflict of interest (as determined by the Buyer Indemnified Parties after obtaining advice of counsel) exists between the Indemnifying Securityholders and the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the Third Party Claim that precludes effective joint representation, (v) the Third Party Claim is, in the discretion of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, subject to recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy, or (vi) the amounts reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim, together with all other outstanding claims on the Indemnity Escrow Fund, exceed the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund. If, pursuant to this Section 8.6(a), the Buyer Indemnified Parties so contest, defend, litigate or settle a Third Party Claim for which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Securityholders for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Securityholders’ Representative of itemized bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.3 this Section 8.6. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 8.6, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Securityholders.
(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Parties; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as: (i) a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (A) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates (including any equitable remedies or other obligations or restrictions upon the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates), (B) would not lead to any liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, (C) provides, in customary form, for the full, unconditional written release of each Buyer Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (D) does not adversely affect the conduct of the business of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative provides written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Parties that it desires to accept and agree to such offer and the terms thereof. If the Buyer Indemnified Parties have assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.7(a), they shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c)Cooperation. The Securityholders’ Representative, the Members, and the Buyer Indemnified Party shall each use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to
86



cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, providing copies of records within the Company’s or the Indemnifying Securityholders’ possession or control relating to such Third Party Claim and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses), Representatives of the Company or the Indemnifying Securityholders as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(d)Coordination with Tax Claims. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8.7 and Section 5.9(f), the provisions of Section 5.9(f) shall control with respect to Tax Claims.
8.7Release from Escrow.
(a)Within five (5) Business Days after the Expiration Date, Buyer will notify the Securityholders’ Representative in writing of the amount that Buyer determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification that have been asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Expiration Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Subject to Section 8.7(c), within five (5) Business Days following the Expiration Date, Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnification Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund as of the Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount, for distribution to each Indemnifying Securityholder, it being acknowledged and agreed that such amount shall be released to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Upon the full and final resolution of any Continuing Claims, all remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.7(a).
(b)Within five (5) Business Days after the Specified Matters Release Date, Buyer will notify the Securityholders’ Representative in writing of the amount that Buyer determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification that have been asserted against the Specified Matters Escrow Fund, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Specified Matters Release Date (each such claim a “Specified Matters Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Specified Matters Retained Escrow Amount”). Subject to Section 8.7(c), within five (5) Business Days following the Specified Matters Release Date, Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Specified Matters Escrow Fund an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the amount held in the Specified Matters Escrow Fund as of the Specified Matters Release Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Specified Matters Retained Escrow Amount, for distribution to each Indemnifying Securityholder, it being acknowledged and agreed that such amount shall be released to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Upon the full and final resolution of any Specified Matters Continuing Claims, all remaining funds in the Specified Matters Escrow Fund shall be
87



distributed to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.7(b).
(c)With respect to any amount to be released to the Indemnifying Securityholders pursuant to the Escrow Agreement: (i) each distribution to be made from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or Specified Matters Escrow Fund, as applicable, to a particular Indemnifying Securityholder shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Spreadsheet; and (ii) all written instructions to be delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to any distribution from the Escrow Fund shall be consistent with this Section 8.7(c).

Securityholders’ Representative shall be the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including to (i) execute, as the Securityholders’ Representative, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) give and receive notices, instructions and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, for and on behalf of any Company Securityholder, to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other matters contemplated by this Agreement or by such other agreement, document or instrument (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Company Securityholder individually), (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Buyer to reclaim an amount of cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Specified Matters Escrow Fund or the Adjustment Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to Section 8, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 8, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and comply with judgments, orders or decrees of courts with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Company Securityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Company Securityholders, (vii) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Company Securityholders (other than with respect to the payment of the consideration payable hereunder to the Company Securityholders) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein, (viii) pursuant to Section 2.17, review, negotiate, object to, accept or agree to the calculations set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement and (ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance and (x) utilize the Expense Fund in connection with any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Company Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholders’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. Buyer, Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the First Step Surviving Corporation and after the Second Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Securityholders’ Representative and treat such Securityholders’ Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Company Securityholder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 10.2. Each Company Securityholder shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with this Section 10.2, and Buyer and other Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely
90



exclusively on any action or decision of the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative may resign at any time with no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice as provided for in the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement. The Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Securityholders’ Representative, then a successor may be appointed, by the Company Securityholders collectively having a Pro Rata Share greater than 50% upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Buyer. No bond shall be required of the Securityholders’ Representative.
(b)Certain Company Securityholders have entered or will enter into an engagement agreement (the “Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Securityholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, and the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Company Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Representative Group”) shall be liable to any Company Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder or under the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders shall severally (based on each such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share) but not jointly indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative Group and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, amount paid in settlement, judgment, forfeiture, fee, cost or expense (including the fees and expenses of counsel, other professionals and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder and under any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Losses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Losses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. If not paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Company Securityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from the Expense Fund and, after the Expense Fund is fully depleted, from the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Specified Matters Escrow Fund or Adjustment Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders (and not distributed or distributable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or subject to a pending indemnification claim of a Buyer Indemnified Party) at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders, and such recovery will be made from the Company Securityholders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Representative Losses; provided, that while this Section allows the Securityholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred,
91



nor does it prevent the Securityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders 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. Furthermore, the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Securityholders’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Securityholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in performing such actions. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on liability of the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including in Section 8.3) are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholders’ Representative under this Section 10.2(b). The Company Securityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group, the Closing, or the termination of this Agreement. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholders’ Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Specified Matters Escrow Fund.
(c)After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Securityholders’ Representative that is within the scope of the Securityholders’ Representative’s authority under Section 10.2(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Company Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Securityholder and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Securityholder; and each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Company Securityholder. Any defenses which may be available to any Company Securityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholders’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Securityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. Buyer hereby covenants and agrees to provide the Securityholders’ Representative with access, during normal business hours, to all books, records, employees, witnesses and other information in the custody or control of Buyer or the Final Surviving Entity in connection with any claim for indemnification under Section 8 and the discharge of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Securityholder or other party.
92



10.3Waiver. Any Party to this Agreement may waive compliance or performance of any provision of this Agreement that is intended for the benefit of such waiving Party. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing executed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Section 10.3 shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
10.4Specific Performance. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this Agreement, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Party agrees that each Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance. If any such action is brought by a Party to enforce this Agreement, the other Party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law or the requirement for the posting of any bond or similar security.
10.5Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
10.6Notices. All notices, claims, demands and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when personally delivered, mailed by first class mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by express courier service or via facsimile or electronic mail (with original copy to follow) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.6); provided that with respect to any notices deliverable to the Securityholders’ Representative, such notices shall be delivered solely via email or facsimile:

10.7Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Buyer and Securityholders’ Representative; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may at any time in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Party assign, in whole or in part, (a) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Buyer, such permitted assign or any of their Affiliates, and any such lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of such assignee hereunder and thereunder; and (b) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to any subsequent purchaser of Buyer, its Affiliates, or any of their divisions or any material portion of their assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of equity, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise).
10.8Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
10.9Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith with sophisticated counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
94



arises, this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation” regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others. The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter, as the context may require.
10.10Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.
10.11Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules and the Schedules identified in this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
10.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.13Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a)The law of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement of its terms and any claim or cause of action (in law or equity), controversy or dispute arising out of or related to it or its negotiation, execution or performance, whether based on contract, tort, statutory or other law, in each case without giving effect to any conflicts-of-law or other principle requiring the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
(b)Each of the Parties hereof hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in each case, located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to the this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, or the negotiation, validity or performance of the this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Chosen Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Chosen Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to the preceding sentence above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the Delaware.
95



10.14WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
10.15Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement, except that (a) any Person that is a Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 8 herein; (b) Section 5.11 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 5.11, (c) Section 2.18 is intended to benefit the Key Employee, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 2.18; (d) Section 10.1 is intended to benefit the Key Employee, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 10.1 as applicable to Section 2.18; (e) Section 10.5 is intended to benefit the Key Employee, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 10.5 as applicable to Section 2.18; and (f) Section 8.3(c)(vii) is intended to benefit the Key Employee, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 8.3(c)(vii).
10.16Press Releases and Announcements; Confidentiality. The Company shall not issue any press releases or make any public statements related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or make any other announcement to the employees, customers or vendors of the Company without the prior written consent of Buyer in each instance unless required by applicable Law (in which event a satisfactory opinion of counsel to that effect shall be first delivered to Buyer prior to any such disclosure) and except for the distribution of the Information Statement in accordance with this Agreement and such other disclosures required to comply with the terms hereof and effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties shall keep confidential the subject matter described herein and the fact that negotiations are taking place unless and until Buyer authorizes disclosure of any such subject matter or facts, and then only to the extent authorized, and such terms and conditions determined, by Buyer in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, following the Closing, Buyer may issue press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative.
10.17Conflicts and Privilege. It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that the Securityholders’ Representative may retain Fenwick & West LLP (“Fenwick”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Merger Subs hereby agree that in the event that a dispute under this Agreement related to the transactions contemplated hereby arises after the Closing between Buyer and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, Fenwick may represent the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders in such dispute even though the interests of the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders may be directly adverse to Buyer and its subsidiaries, and even though Fenwick may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, this sentence shall not apply if and to the extent (a) Fenwick is then representing Buyer, Merger Subs, or any of their respective Affiliates or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) and (b) such representation of such member of the Buyer Group would require Fenwick to either refrain from representing the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders or obtain the informed consent of the Securityholders’ Representative and/or Company Securityholders and the applicable member of the Buyer Group under
96



applicable Law or applicable ethical standards governing attorney conduct. Buyer and Merger Subs further agree that, as to all communications among Fenwick and the Company that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Closing (the “Protected Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the Protected Communications (the “Associated Rights”) belong to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders and may be controlled by the Securityholders’ Representative and Company Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, Merger Subs, the Final Surviving Entity or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, the Parties expressly agree that the Protected Communications and Associated Rights shall not include any communications at or prior to the Closing among Fenwick and the Company: (i) relating to Fraud (whether related to the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby or a similar transaction prior to the Closing or otherwise); or (ii) with respect to which the attorney-client privilege could not validly be asserted by the Company prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Securityholders’ Representative or a Company Securityholder, on the other hand, Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity and its subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer, the Final Surviving Entity or its subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative and (y) if Buyer is legally required by judgment, order or decree of a Governmental Authority to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Protected Communications, Buyer shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Protected Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such judgment, order or decree.
10.18No Representations Regarding Projections or Forecasts; Acknowledgment. None of the Company nor any other Person has made, and each of Buyer and Merger Subs acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon, any representation or warranty, express or implied as to, and none of the Company nor any other Person shall have any Liability to Buyer or any other Person with respect to any financial projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets relating to the Company or its operations or other forward-looking statements of the Company (except, in each case, to the extent expressly addressed in a representation or warranty in Section 3).
