(ii) determination that the blended margins on such Cumulative Paid Subscriber accounts equal or exceed the Required Margin (the “Margin Threshold”); provided, that, once the Cumulative Paid Subscriber Threshold has been achieved (upon determination of such by the Committee), such metric shall be deemed to have been achieved at all times through and including the Performance Period End Date;

(iii) achievement by the Company of at least three hundred million U.S. dollars ($300,000,000) in Annual Recurring Revenue prior to the Performance Period End Date (the “ARR Goal”); provided, that, once the ARR Goal has been achieved, such metric shall be deemed to have been achieved at all times through and including the Performance Period End Date; and

3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes the Retention Agreement with respect to the terms expressly set forth herein and all other prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other employment letter or agreement, severance policy or program, or equity award agreement.

4. Section 409A. The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (collectively, “Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with this intent.

If, at the time of your termination of employment, you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, which generally means that you will receive payment on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following your termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement as it considers necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without your consent or that of any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax. Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will any member of the Company Group reimburse, indemnify, or hold you harmless for any taxes, penalties and interest that may be imposed, or other costs that may be incurred, as a result of Section 409A.
