If Duo's money needs to be set aside on contingenc

If Duo's money needs to be set aside on contingency from the buyout money based on what Mike said - how could Cisco hold Duo accountable for paying the damages without requiring the payment to take place before they give them the full buyout price that will be due to them? Or is it instead possible that they would sign an agreement saying out of the $2.35 billion, they would have to pay a settlement from those proceeds? Seems the latter is not feasible because once Duo walks away and it becomes Cisco, Cisco would be on the hook.
