In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b) and (c), for each of the twelve month periods ended on December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 (each, an “Earnout Year” and, collectively, the Earnout Period”) Holdco shall pay to the Transferors in accordance with the Consideration Notice an amount (the “Earnout Amount”) equal to the product of (I) five times (II) the amount by which the Adjusted EBITDA of Future Ads for each Earnout Year exceeds the Target Adjusted EBITDA Amount for such Earnout Year (the “Excess EBITDA Amount”) (it being understood and agreed that, for any year in which the applicable Target Adjusted EBITDA Amount exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA for such Earnout Year, the Excess EBITDA Amount shall equal zero); provided, that, (i) the total of all Earnout Amounts payable to the Transferors during the Earnout Period shall not exceed $40,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) if the Earnout Amount for any Earnout Year other than the final Earnout Year exceeds $10,000,000, the amount by which such Earnout Amount exceeds $10,000,000 will be rolled over to be payable for the subsequent Earnout Year or Earnout Years such that no single aggregate Earnout Amount paid will exceed $10,000,000 in any Earnout Year, other than in respect of the final Earnout Year, in which case the full Earnout Amount, including any amounts earned and rolled over from previous Earnout Years, shall be due and payable.

(b)          Determination of Earnout Amounts. No later than 10 days after the audit committee of the board of directors of Holdco (or the full board of directors if there is no audit committee) approves Holdco’s year-end financial statements for each applicable Earnout Year, Holdco will prepare and deliver to the Transferors a certificate, signed by Holdco’s chief financial officer, certifying Holdco’s good faith determination (including all calculations thereof and underlying detail reports thereto) of the Earnout Amount for such Earnout Year (an “Earnout Certificate”). If the Transferors do not object to such Earnout Certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt, or accept such Earnout Certificate during such thirty (30) day period, payment of such Earnout Amount, if any, shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2(c). If the Transferors object to such Earnout Certificate, the Transferors shall notify Holdco in writing of such objection within thirty (30) days after the Transferors’ receipt thereof (such notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objection). If, upon, or at any time after, the Transferors’ notice to Holdco of the Transferors’ objection to such Earnout Certificate, any portion of the applicable Earnout Amount set forth in such Earnout Certificate is not in dispute, then payment of such undisputed portion of the Earnout Amount shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2(c). During the thirty (30) day period following the Transferors’ receipt of such Earnout Certificate, Holdco shall permit the Transferors reasonable access to the officers of Holdco, the books and records of Holdco and the work papers relating to the preparation of such Earnout Certificate. If Holdco and the Transferors are unable to resolve all of such differences within twenty (20) days of Holdco’s receipt of the Transferors’ objections, then for a period of thirty (30) days commencing on the twentieth (20th) day after Holdco’s receipt of the Transferors’ objections, the Transferors and Holdco shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Earnout Certificate. If at the end of such thirty day period, Holdco and the Transferors are unable to resolve their differences with respect to the Earnout Certificate, then an independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Holdco and the Transferors (the “Independent Accountant”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. Each of Holdco and the Transferors shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the applicable Earnout Amount in writing to the Independent Accountant and to each other. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably practicable (which the Transferors and Holdco agree (i) shall be no later than forty-five (45) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Independent Accountant, (ii) shall be set forth in a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the Independent Accountant’s determination of the Earnout Amount and the basis for such determination and (iii) shall be in the range of the dispute between the Earnout Amount specified in the Earnout Certificate and the amount asserted by the Transferors). The Independent Accountant shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which the applicable Earnout Amount requires adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Independent Accountant) in order to be determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(b). The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties absent manifest error.

(c)          Payment of Earnout Amounts. All amounts owed pursuant to this Section 2.2 (the “Earnout Payments”) will be paid by Holdco to the Transferors, unless otherwise instructed by a Transferor, as set forth in the Consideration Notice by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such accounts as may be designated by each Transferor, from time to time, no later than May 15th of the year following each applicable Earnout Year, unless the applicable Earnout Amount is in dispute as provided above. If Holdco delivers an opinion of counsel of Holdco to the Transferors certifying that Holdco (i) is legally prevented from, or (ii) would be in violation of express covenants in any loan documents to which Holdco is a party by (including with respect to the Debt Financing so long as those obligations remain applicable), making all or a portion of any Earnout Payment to the Transferors, each Transferor may elect, in each such Transferor’s sole and absolute discretion, to (x) receive such Earnout Payment (or the portion thereof which cannot be paid) in shares of Holdco Common Stock valued at the closing market price of the Holdco Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ or such other national securities exchange on which the Holdco Common Stock is listed (or if not so listed, the bid price on the over-the-counter bulletin board) on the date such Transferor elects to receive such Earnout Payment (or the portion thereof which cannot be paid) in shares of Holdco Common Stock (it being understood that if a closing price or bid price, as applicable, is not reported on such day, then the parties shall value the stock at the last closing price or bid price, as applicable, reported); (y) defer the Earnout Payment (or the portion thereof which cannot be paid) until such time as it may be legally paid without violating any express covenants of any loan documents to which Holdco is party, which deferred payment shall accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum; or (z) accept the Earnout Payment (or the portion thereof which cannot be paid) in another form of consideration (including notes).

(d)          Conduct of Holdco. From the Closing Date until January 1, 2019 (or until the payment of all Earnout Payments, if earlier), Holdco:

(i)          shall not, without the prior written consent of the Transferors, commingle the business of Future Ads and its Subsidiaries with Holdco or any other Subsidiary or division of Holdco;

(ii)         shall not, without the prior written consent of the Transferors, burden Future Ads and its Subsidiaries with debt incurred on behalf of the operations of Holdco and its other Subsidiaries, other than debt incurred solely for the benefit of the operations of Future Ads and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Transferors acknowledge and agree that Future Ads and its Subsidiaries may be guarantors or, if requested by the Lender, co-borrowers, of various obligations of Holdco including any debt incurred in connection with the Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, provided, further, that any cost or expenses or other obligations incurred directly or indirectly by Future Ads or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Debt Financing will not be included for purposes of computing the Adjusted EBITDA of Future Ads for each Earnout Year;

(iii)        shall provide to Future Ads an amount of capital reasonably necessary to accomplish the business of Future Ads as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed, Holdco’s obligation pursuant to this clause (iii) shall not require it to provide an aggregate amount of capital in excess of the aggregate amount of capital that Holdco or its Affiliates have directly or indirectly previously withdrawn from Future Ads;

(iv)         shall not, without the prior written consent of the Transferors, make any change in any method of accounting or accounting practices or policies of Future Ads and its Subsidiaries used in the preparation of the Future Ads Financial Statements; and

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Transferors, Holdco agrees that it will not enter into an agreement with respect to a Change of Control, or otherwise consummate a Change of Control, unless it is expressly agreed by the parties involved in such Change of Control transaction that the Earnout Amount payments provided in Section 2.2 and the other obligations related thereto shall be assumed by, and remain or become the obligations of, Holdco or its successor following the Change of Control.

(b)          During the Equity Financing Period, Holdco and its Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to issue additional shares of Holdco Common Stock or other equity securities of Holdco in one or more offerings, pursuant to which Holdco will raise sufficient net proceeds to enable Holdco to pay to the Transferors the Additional Consideration in cash without violation of any express covenants in any loan documents to which Holdco is a party by (including with respect to the Debt Financing so long as those obligations remain applicable) (such equity offering or offerings, the “Equity Capital Raise”). As promptly as practicable following completion of each Equity Capital Raise, Holdco shall pay a portion of the net proceeds received from such Equity Capital Raise to the Transferors, unless otherwise instructed by a Transferor, in accordance with the Consideration Notice. With respect to the Equity Capital Raises as provided in this Section 2.3(b), the parties acknowledge and agree that a material consideration for undertaking such Equity Capital Raises is to enable Holdco to be able to pay to the Transferors the full Additional Consideration in cash; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of Holdco determines in good faith that the aggregate net proceeds raised pursuant to the Equity Capital Raises was insufficient for Holdco to pay the full Additional Consideration in cash, then Holdco shall pay to the Transferors such maximum amount that the Holdco Board of Directors determines in good faith (the difference between the aggregate amount paid to the Transferors pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) and the Additional Consideration, the “Capital Raise Deficit Amount”). In the event of a Capital Raise Deficit Amount at the end of the Equity Financing Period, Holdco shall, in accordance with the Consideration Notice, unless otherwise instructed by a Transferor, issue and deliver to the Transferors shares of Holdco Common Stock valued at the Capital Raise Deficit Amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each share of Holdco Common Stock will be valued at the closing market price of the Holdco Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ or such other national securities exchange on which the Holdco Common Stock is listed (or if not so listed, the bid price on the over-the-counter bulletin board) on the date prior to the date on which the Additional Consideration is paid to the Transferors. The shares of Holdco Common Stock issued and delivered to the Transferors pursuant to this Section 2.3, if any, shall not be subject to the Future Ads Lockup Agreements.

(c)          If as of December 31, 2015 Holdco has not been able to successfully complete the Equity Capital Raise, then during the ten Business Day period following December 31, 2015, Jared Pobre, on behalf of the Transferors, may elect to receive the Additional Consideration (or, if applicable, the Capital Raise Deficit Amount) in shares of Holdco Common Stock (the date of such election, the “Early Equity Termination Date”) valued at the closing market price of the Holdco Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ or such other national securities exchange on which the Holdco Common Stock is listed (or if not so listed, the bid price on the over-the-counter bulletin board) as of the close of market on the Early Equity Termination Date (it being understood that if a closing price or bid price, as applicable, is not reported on such day, then the parties shall value the stock at the last closing price or bid price, as applicable, reported).

Except as set forth in Schedule 4.19 of the Kitara Disclosure Schedules, the fees and commissions of which will be paid by Kitara, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Kitara or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.20          SEC Reports; Disclosure Controls.

(a)            Kitara has filed or otherwise transmitted all forms, reports, statements, certifications and other documents (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2011 (all such forms, reports, statements, certificates and other documents filed since January 1, 2011 and prior to the date hereof, collectively, the “Kitara SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, each of the Kitara SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the case may be, each as in effect on the date so filed. As of their respective filing dates (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment or superseding filing), none of the Kitara SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

42
 

(b)          Kitara maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that material information relating to Kitara, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Kitara by others within those entities. Kitara maintains internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Kitara has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Kitara’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Kitara (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect Kitara’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have significant roles in Kitara’s internal control over financial reporting.

Section 4.21          Financing.

(a)          Kitara has delivered to Future Ads a complete and accurate copy of an executed commitment letter dated as of October 10, 2014, as amended prior to the date hereof, and a complete and accurate copy of the executed fee letter related thereto dated as of October 10, 2014, as amended prior to the date hereof, (the commitment letter and fee letter, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), in each case from Highbridge Principal Strategies, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender has committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, debt financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”). Kitara has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees that have been incurred and are due and payable in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter prior to or in connection with the execution of this Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, and Kitara will pay when due all other commitment fees and other fees arising under the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due and payable thereunder.

(b)          As of the date of this Agreement, (i) the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified (and no such amendment or modification is contemplated), and (ii) the commitments set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal or rescission is contemplated). As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to Future Ads, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Kitara and, to the Knowledge of Kitara, the Lender and each other party thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar applicable Law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. As of the date of this Agreement, to the Knowledge of Kitara, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach under any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in the form so delivered to Future Ads. As of the date of this Agreement, Kitara has no reason to believe that any term or condition to the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter will not be fully satisfied on a timely basis or that the Debt Financing will not be available to Kitara at the Closing.

43
 

Section 4.22          Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by Holdco and Kitara in this Article IV are the exclusive representations and warranties made by Holdco and Kitara with respect to Kitara and its Subsidiaries. Neither Kitara nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives is making any representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, on behalf of Kitara or its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any relating to financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of Holdco and its Subsidiaries), except as expressly set forth in this Article IV (as modified by the Kitara Disclosure Schedules), and Kitara and its Subsidiaries hereby disclaim any such other representations or warranties. No material or information provided by or communications made by Kitara or any of its Affiliates, or by any advisor thereof, whether by use of a “data room,” or in any information memorandum, or otherwise, or by any broker or investment banker, will cause or create any warranty, express or implied, as to or in respect of Kitara, its Subsidiaries or the title, condition, value or quality of the assets or liabilities of Kitara or its Subsidiaries. Each of Holdco and Kitara makes no representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts).

Section 5.2          Covenants Regarding Information.

(a)          From the date hereof until the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice, each of Future Ads and Kitara shall afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access to the Representatives, properties, offices, and other facilities, books and records of such party and its Subsidiaries, and shall furnish the other party with such financial, operating and other data and information as such other party may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at the requesting party’s expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of the other party’s personnel and in such a manner as not unreasonably to interfere with the normal operations of the other party and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Future Ads, Kitara nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose any information to the other party or its Representatives if such disclosure would, in the disclosing party’s sole discretion, (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof.

(b)          In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Transferors (as they relate to Future Ads and its Subsidiaries) or against or incurred by Kitara (as they relate to Kitara and its Subsidiaries), for a period of seven years after the Closing or, if later, the applicable period specified in Future Ad’s, Kitara’s or Holdco’s respective document retention policies, Holdco shall (i) retain the books and records relating to Future Ads and its Subsidiaries and Kitara and its Subsidiaries, respectively, relating to periods prior to the Closing and (ii) afford the Representatives of the Transferors and the Representatives of Kitara, respectively, reasonable access (including the right to make, at the applicable Transferor’s or Kitara’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

Section 5.3          Update of Disclosure Schedules. Each of the Transferors, Holdco and Kitara, as applicable, shall, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing, supplement or amend the Transferors Disclosure Schedules or Kitara Disclosure Schedules, respectively, with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which if existing or known at the date of this Agreement would have been required to be set forth or described in such disclosure schedules or that is necessary to correct any information in such disclosure schedules or in any representation or warranty of the applicable party which has been rendered inaccurate thereby promptly following discovery thereof, and also with respect to events or conditions arising after the date hereof and prior to Closing. Such supplemental or amended disclosure (the “Updates”) shall be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of determining whether or not any of the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied, provided, that, (i) the party supplementing or amending the disclosure did not have Knowledge regarding the disclosure failure that is giving rise to such Updates as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the Updates would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If, prior to the Closing, Holdco, Kitara or the Transferors, as the case may be, shall have reason to believe that any breach of a representation or warranty of the other party has occurred (other than through notice from the other party), Kitara shall promptly so notify the Transferors or the Transferors shall promptly so notify Kitara, as the case may be, in reasonable detail. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5.3, shall imply that the Transferors, Holdco or Kitara is making any representation or warranty as of any date other than the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

49
 

Section 5.4          Notification of Certain Matters. Until the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of (i) any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied or (ii) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, circumstance, development, state of facts, occurrence, change or effect which has had or would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, that no such notification, nor the obligation to make such notification, shall affect the representations, warranties or covenants, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Transferors, Holdco or Kitara.

Section 5.5          No Solicitation.

(a)            If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, (i) Kitara will not, for a period of one (1) year thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Transferors, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly, or through its present or future Affiliates, knowingly solicit (other than a solicitation by general advertisement) any person who is an employee of Future Ads or any of its Subsidiaries, at the date hereof that immediately precedes such termination, to terminate his or her employment with Future Ads or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) Future Ads will not, for a period of one (1) year thereafter, without the prior written consent of Kitara, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly, or through its present or future Affiliates, knowingly solicit (other than a solicitation by general advertisement) any person who is an employee of Kitara or any of its Subsidiaries, at the date hereof that precedes such termination, to terminate his or her employment with Kitara or any of its Subsidiaries. Kitara and Future Ads agree that any remedy at law for any breach by Kitara or Future Ads of this Section 5.5 would be inadequate, and that Future Ads or Kitara, as the case may be, would be entitled to injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that this restriction on Kitara or Future Ads is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of Future Ads or Kitara, Kitara and Future Ads agree that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions which such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate properly to protect Future Ads or Kitara.

(b)            During the period from the date of this Agreement through and including the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, (a) Kitara and Future Ads shall not, and each of Kitara and Future Ads shall cause their respective Affiliates, Representatives and other agents, and their respective Subsidiaries to refrain from taking any action to, directly or indirectly, approve, authorize, encourage, initiate, solicit, or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person other than the other parties hereto and their respective Affiliates or Representatives concerning any Alternate Transaction (as defined below), and Kitara and Future Ads shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to prevent Kitara or Future Ads or any of their respective Subsidiaries from entering into any Alternate Transaction and (b) none of Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads or their respective boards of directors or managers will vote in favor of any purchase of any capital stock of Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads or any of their Subsidiaries, or any other Alternate Transaction, other than the transactions contemplated hereby and the Kitara Reorganization. For purposes hereof, an “Alternate Transaction” shall mean (a) any stock purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, change in organizational form, spin-off, split-off, recapitalization, sale of equity interests or other similar transaction involving a significant portion of the capital stock or membership interests of Holdco, Kitara, Future Ads or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (b) any sale of all or any significant portion of the assets of Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads, (c) any other transaction in respect of Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads which results directly or indirectly, in a Change of Control of Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads or sale of any minority equity interest in Holdco, Kitara or Future Ads, or (d) any other transaction or series of transactions which has substantially similar economic effects, in each such case, in which transaction the other party hereto does not participate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Kitara Reorganization will not be deemed to be an “Alternate Transaction” for proposes hereof. The Transferors will notify Kitara and Kitara will notify the Transferors as soon as practicable if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry to, or contact with, the Transferors or Kitara, as the case may be, with respect to an Alternate Transaction and shall describe in reasonable detail the identity of any such Person and, the substance and material terms of any such contact and the material terms of any such proposal.

50
 

Section 5.6          Confidentiality. Until the Closing Date, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential, disclose only to its Affiliates or Representatives and use only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby all information and data obtained by them from any other party or its Affiliates or Representatives relating to such other party or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than information or data that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.6), unless disclosure of such information or data is required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, promptly return to the applicable party or destroy all documents (including all copies thereof) containing any such information or data.

(a)            Each of the parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Kitara Reorganization as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fulfill the conditions to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Article VI and (ii) promptly make all necessary filings, if any, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law.

(c)            In furtherance of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 5.7, if (i) any objections are asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Law, (ii) any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority challenging the transactions contemplated hereby or the Kitara Reorganization as allegedly violative of any Law or that would otherwise prevent, delay or impede the consummation, or otherwise materially reduce the contemplated benefits, of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Kitara Reorganization or (iii) any Law is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Authority that would make the transactions contemplated hereby or the Kitara Reorganization illegal or would otherwise prevent, delay or impede the consummation, or otherwise materially reduce the contemplated benefits, of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Kitara Reorganization, then each of Kitara, Holdco and Future Ads shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections, actions or proceedings so as to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)            In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 5.7, but subject to first complying with the obligations of Section 5.7(c), if any of the events specified in Section 5.7(c)(ii) or (iii) occurs, then each of Kitara, Holdco and Future Ads shall cooperate in all respects with the other party and use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such administrative or judicial action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, injunction or other decree or order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prevents, materially delays or materially impedes the consummation, or otherwise materially reduces the contemplated benefits, of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Kitara Reorganization and to have such Law repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of Kitara, Holdco, and Future Ads shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend, at its own cost and expense, any such administrative or judicial actions or proceedings.

52

Section 5.9          Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a)           Holdco shall and shall cause Future Ads, Kitara and their respective Subsidiaries to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer, manager or director of Kitara, Future Ads or any of their respective Subsidiaries (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) arising out of or relating to any threatened or actual Action based in whole or in part on or arising out of or relating in whole or in part to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Kitara, Future Ads or any of their respective Subsidiaries whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing Date (the “D&O Indemnified Liabilities”), including all D&O Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the full extent a corporation is permitted under applicable Law (including without limitation the Laws of the State of Delaware) to indemnify its own directors or officers (and Holdco shall, or shall cause Future Ads, Kitara and their respective Subsidiaries to, pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each D&O Indemnified Party). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against any D&O Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Closing Date), (i) the D&O Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it and reasonably satisfactory to Holdco, and Holdco shall, or shall cause Kitara, Future Ads and their respective Subsidiaries to, pay all fees and expenses of such counsel for the D&O Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received and (ii) Holdco and its Subsidiaries and each D&O Indemnified Party will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter; provided, that none of Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any D&O Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.9 shall notify Holdco upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a party from any liability which it may have under this Section 5.9 except to the extent such failure prejudices such party). The parties hereto agree that all rights to indemnification hereunder, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any such action or suit, existing in favor of the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to matters occurring through the Closing Date shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any D&O Indemnified Liabilities asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such D&O Indemnified Liabilities.

(b)            On or prior to the Closing Date, Holdco shall obtain, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to obtain and maintain for a period of six years from the Closing Date, officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering D&O Indemnified Parties covering liability and acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date at limit levels and otherwise on terms with respect to such coverage no less favorable to the insured than those of such insurance in respect of Kitara in effect on the date hereof. Prior to or at the Closing Date, Kitara shall provide Future Ads with reasonable evidence of the obtainment of such insurance coverage in accordance with the foregoing provision.

(c)            Holdco and Kitara covenant, for themselves and their successors and assigns, that they shall not institute any Action in any court or before any administrative agency or before any other tribunal against any of the current members or managers of Future Ads and its Subsidiaries, in their capacity as such, with respect to any liabilities, actions or causes of action, judgments, claims or demands of any nature or description (consequential, compensatory, punitive or otherwise), in each such case to the extent resulting from their approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Future Ads covenants, for itself and its successors and assigns, that it and they shall not institute any Action in any court or before any administrative agency or before any other tribunal against any of the current directors of Kitara and its Subsidiaries, in their capacity as such, with respect to any liabilities, actions or causes of action, judgments, claims or demands of any nature or description (consequential, compensatory, punitive or otherwise), in each such case to the extent resulting from their approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

54
 

(d)            Holdco shall not take any action directly or indirectly to disaffirm or adversely affect the existence, effectiveness or enforceability of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) and any other written agreements of Holdco, Kitara, Future Ads and any of their respective Subsidiaries that provide indemnification of and expense reimbursement to D&O Indemnified Parties.

Section 5.10          Tax Matters. The parties hereto agree:

(a)            to treat the Kitara Reorganization and the Exchange as exchanges of Kitara Common Stock and Future Units in exchange for Holdco Common Stock, as a single integrated transaction under Section 351 of the Code;

(b)            to treat the Exchange as a transfer of Future Units to Holdco, in accordance with the rules set forth in Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-6 I.R.B.; and

(c)            to file all required Returns when due consistent with the foregoing.

Section 5.11          Termination of Certain Contracts. Prior to the Closing, (i) Future Ads shall or shall cause any of its Affiliates who are parties to the contracts listed on Schedule 5.11 of the Transferors Disclosure Schedules with Future Ads or any of its Subsidiaries to be cancelled as of or prior to the Closing pursuant to termination agreements, in form reasonably acceptable to Kitara, that provide for such termination without further liability or obligation of Future Ads or any of its Subsidiaries thereafter and (ii) Kitara shall or shall cause any of its Affiliates who are parties to the contracts listed on Schedule 5.11 of the Kitara Disclosure Schedules with Kitara or any of its Subsidiaries to be cancelled as of or prior to the Closing pursuant to termination agreements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Transferors, that provide for such termination without further liability or obligation of Kitara or any of its Subsidiaries thereafter.

Section 5.13          Preparation of Form S-4 and Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Holdco and Kitara shall prepare (with Future Ads’ reasonable cooperation) and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Form S-4”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Holdco Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Kitara Reorganization, the transactions contemplated hereby and such other matters as may be mutually agreed upon. The Form S-4 shall include as a prospectus a proxy statement with respect to the Kitara Reorganization (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and any other required materials, the “Proxy Statement”) with the SEC and shall comply with all applicable notice requirements pursuant to the respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws of Kitara and Holdco and applicable law. Each of Holdco, Future Ads and Kitara shall furnish all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates to the other, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and filing of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement. The Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by such other party to be included therein. Each of Holdco and Kitara (i) shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Kitara Reorganization and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC. Holdco and Kitara shall also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which Holdco or Kitara is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process) required to be taken under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Holdco Common Stock in connection with the Kitara Reorganization and shall furnish all information concerning Holdco, Kitara and the holders of Holdco Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or response to comments to, the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement will be made by Holdco or Kitara, as applicable, without providing Future Ads a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and without Future Ads’ prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Holdco or Kitara, as applicable, will advise Future Ads promptly after either of them receives oral or written notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or the Proxy Statement has been cleared or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Holdco Common Stock issuable in connection with the Kitara Reorganization for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide Future Ads with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission and a reasonable opportunity to participate in the responses thereto. If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to Kitara, Holdco, Future Ads, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Kitara, Holdco or Future Ads which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by Kitara or Holdco with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Kitara or Holdco.

Section 5.14          Kitara Reorganization. The parties will take all such steps necessary or advisable to be in a position to complete the Kitara Reorganization as promptly as possible after the date hereof, so as to eliminate the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c). On the Closing Date and immediately prior to, or contemporaneously with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Kitara and Holdco will complete the Kitara Reorganization.

Section 5.15          Financing.

(a)            Kitara and Future Ads shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Kitara and Future Ads, including using their commercially reasonable efforts to (a) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (b) satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions applicable to Kitara and Future Ads to obtaining the Debt Financing set forth therein and (c) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter.

Kitara shall (i) comply in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letter and each definitive agreement with respect thereto and (ii) enforce in all material respects Kitara’s rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and any definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing. Kitara shall not permit, or consent to, any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, supplement or modification would (i) materially impair, delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, including by changing the amount of fees or original issue discount contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend, waive or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing (other than any amendment, waiver or modification that would make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing more likely to occur), (iv) adversely affect the ability of Kitara to enforce or cause the enforcement of its rights against the Lender or other financing sources with respect to the Debt Financing or (v) otherwise reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Kitara to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

57

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as may be expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing, the parties hereto agree that neither the Lender, nor any Person that becomes a lender under the Debt Commitment Letter, nor any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”) will have any liability to any Person, including any party hereto or any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (the “Unit Exchange Parties”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing, any document related to the foregoing or the transactions contemplated by the foregoing (whether or not consummated, in whole or in part) or in respect of any theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity in contract, in tort or otherwise.

(d)            Subject to the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing Commitments under the terms thereof, none of the Unit Exchange Parties, solely in their respective capacities as parties to this Agreement, shall have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Sources, nor will such Unit Exchange Parties be third party beneficiaries of the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to, or shall, confer upon such Unit Exchange Parties any standing as a third party beneficiary of the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing.

(f)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.8, it is understood and agreed that the Debt Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of Section 5.15(c) through (h) and shall be entitled to rely on and enforce such Section in accordance with its terms, as if they were signatories to this Agreement.

(g)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.13, the parties shall have the right to assign all or certain provisions of this Agreement, or any right or interest herein, and may delegate any obligation hereunder, without the consent of any other parties thereto, to any financing sources of Kitara, Future Ads or Holdco as collateral; provided that no such assignment or delegation shall relieve such parties of their obligations hereunder.

(h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.9 or 8.10, each of the Unit Exchange Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any action, suit or proceeding (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against the Lender or any other Persons that commits or has committed to provide or otherwise entered into agreements in connection with the Debt Financing or other financings in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (each such Person, a “Debt Financing Source”) in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). Each Unit Exchange Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof.
