(a)           Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, in full consideration for Seller’s sale, transfer, conveyance,

Seller in accordance with Section 2.7(c) the Estimated Purchase Price, subject
to adjustment after the Closing pursuant to Section 2.7(d) (the “Purchase
Price”), and (ii) assume the Assumed Liabilities as provided in Section 2.4;
provided, however, that the Seller may elect to receive up to 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock of Buyer in lieu of up to $5,000,000 in cash of the Base
Purchase Price, by giving written notice to Buyer not less than 20 calendar days

Balance Sheet (and based thereon to the extent applicable), Seller shall deliver
to Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”), signed and attested
to by the chief financial officer of Seller, certifying Seller’s good faith
calculation and estimate or computation (including all calculations in
reasonable detail) of:

Capital Adjustment”), and
 
(ii)           the Estimated Purchase Price.
 
The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Closing Statement, and
each element of the Preliminary Closing Statement, shall be prepared in
accordance with the Accounting Principles and be accompanied by reasonable
supporting detail. Buyer shall be entitled to comment on and request reasonable
changes to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or Preliminary Closing Statement,
and Seller shall provide Buyer and its representatives access to information
that Buyer reasonably requests relating to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet
or Preliminary Closing Statement and the preparation thereof. Seller shall
consider in good faith any changes Buyer proposes to the Preliminary Closing
Statement and revise such statement if, based on its good faith assessment, such
changes are warranted. Buyer may accept the Preliminary Closing Statement
without waiving its rights to challenge such position pursuant to Section
2.7(d).

(d)           Determination of Final Purchase Price.
 
(i)           Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Buyer
shall prepare and deliver to Seller an unaudited balance sheet of the
Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities prepared in good faith by Buyer as of
the Adjustment Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). Together with the Closing
Balance Sheet (and based thereon to the extent applicable), Buyer shall deliver
to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith
calculation of: (A) the Net Working Capital Adjustment, and (B) the Final
Purchase Price. The Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement, and each
element thereof, shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles
and be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail.
 
(ii)           During the thirty (30) days immediately following Seller’s
receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Closing Statement Review Period”), Buyer
shall provide Seller and its representatives access to information that Seller
reasonably requests that Buyer used to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet and
Closing Statement.
 
(iii)           If Seller disagrees with any of the items included in the
Closing Statement, then Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Closing
Statement Review Period, deliver a written notice of such disagreement to Buyer
(a “Notice of Disagreement”). To be in proper form, each disagreement contained
in a Notice of Disagreement must specify in reasonable detail the nature and
amount of such disagreement, as well as a reasonable basis therefor and relevant
supporting documentation and calculations (each disagreement meeting the
requirements of this Section 2.7(d)(iii) and included in a timely Notice of
Disagreement, a “Disputed Item”). If Seller does not deliver a timely Notice of
Disagreement meeting the requirements of this Section 2.7(d)(iii), then the
Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i) above shall
be final and binding on the parties and deemed to set forth the Final Purchase
Price. If Seller delivers a timely Notice of Disagreement meeting the
requirements of this Section 2.7(d)(iii), then (A) during the thirty (30) day
period following delivery of such Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution
Period”), Buyer and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve the Disputed
Item(s); and (B) all items included in the Closing Statement with which Seller
does not in the Notice of Disagreement disagree shall be final and binding on
the parties and shall be utilized in the computation of the Final Purchase
Price. During the Resolution Period, Seller shall provide Buyer and its
representatives with access to information that Buyer reasonably requests
relating to the Notice of Disagreement and Seller’s preparation thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller cannot dispute the Closing Balance Sheet
to the extent such dispute is based on methods of depreciation, amortization or
calculating inventory; provided that such methods are consistent with the
Accounting Principles.

(iv)           If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller have
not resolved each Disputed Item, then Buyer and Seller shall have the right to
submit the unresolved Disputed Items to an independent auditor for review and
resolution. Such independent auditor shall, and Buyer and Seller shall cause
such independent auditor to, (A) act as an expert and not an arbitrator, (B)
make a final determination based solely on the applicable provisions of this
Agreement (and not by independent review), (C) base its decision on a single
presentation submitted in writing by each of Buyer and Seller and on one written
response to each such presentation (unless such independent auditor requests an
additional response from either Buyer or Seller), and not on independent
investigation, (D) with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item, render a
determination that must be within the ranges of values claimed by each of Buyer
and Seller, and (E) render a final determination as to each Disputed Item within
forty-five (45) days following the end of the Resolution Period (the “Auditor
Review Period”). During the Auditor Review Period, each of Buyer and Seller
shall provide such independent auditor with reasonable access to information
relating to any Disputed Item. The fees and expenses of such independent auditor
shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in the
same proportion that the aggregate amount of the items unsuccessfully disputed
by each (as finally determined by such independent auditor) bears to the
aggregate amount of the Disputed Items submitted to such independent auditor for
review and resolution.
 
(v)           The final determination as to each Disputed Item as determined by
such independent auditor shall be final and binding on the parties hereto,
absent a showing of fraud or willful misconduct, and shall be utilized in the
computation of the Final Purchase Price.
 
(e)           Adjustment to Estimated Purchase Price.
 
(i)           If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase
Price, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such excess within five
(5) Business Days of the final determination of such amount, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.
 
(ii)           If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase
Price, then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such shortfall within
five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price.
 
(iii)           For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made under this
Section 2.7(e) shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
 
2.8           Prorations. With respect to accrued utility and similar payments
arising from the ownership or use of the Transferred Assets, the Assumed
Liabilities and the operation of the Business, the accrued rents and other
payments under the Transferred Leases, the Transferred Intellectual Property and
the Transferred Contracts and similar accrued items all as relating to a period
after and including the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for the pro
rata portion thereof based upon the number of days in such period following
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including) the Closing Date as a
percentage of the total number of days in such period.

2.9           Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price and the Assumed
Liabilities shall be allocated for Tax purposes among the Transferred Assets as
set forth on the Allocation Statement which shall be attached hereto as Exhibit
D at the Closing. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall
cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a proposed allocation of the
Purchase Price allocable to the Transferred Assets in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit D plus the Assumed Liabilities among the Transferred Assets, which
allocation shall be in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1060-1
(the “Allocation Statement”). If Buyer disagrees with Seller’s proposed
Allocation Statement, Buyer may, within 30 days after delivery of such
Allocation Statement, deliver a notice to Seller stating that Buyer disagrees
with such Allocation Statement and specifying in reasonable detail those items
or amounts as to which Buyer disagrees and the basis therefor. If Buyer does not
timely deliver a notice of disagreement, then Seller’s proposed Allocation
Statement shall be final and binding upon Seller and Buyer. If Buyer timely
delivers a notice of disagreement, Seller and Buyer shall, during the 30 days
following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach
agreement on the disputed items or amounts. If, during such period, Seller and
Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause
such independent auditor to review the remaining disputed items (such items, the
“Disputed Allocation Items”), and such review shall be final and binding upon
Seller and Buyer. The fees and expenses of such independent auditor shall be
allocated between Seller and Buyer in such manner that Buyer shall be
responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses equal to such fees and
expenses multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar
value of Disputed Allocation Items submitted to such independent auditor that
are resolved in a manner further from the position submitted to such independent
auditor by Buyer and closer to the position submitted to such independent
auditor by Seller (as finally determined by such independent auditor), and the
denominator of which is the total aggregate dollar value of the Disputed Items
so submitted, and Seller shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and
expenses. Thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer from time to
time a revised proposed Allocation Statement updated to reflect any adjustments
to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement requiring any adjustment to the
Allocation Statement. Such revised allocation statement shall become the
Allocation Statement subject to review and dispute resolution rights allowable
to the initial proposed Allocation Statement delivered to Seller pursuant to
this Section 2.9. The parties hereto shall file, or cause to be filed, all
federal income Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in a
manner consistent with the Allocation Statement as finally determined pursuant
to this Section 2.9 and shall take no actions for Tax purposes inconsistent
therewith, except, in each case, as required pursuant to a “determination”
within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any other similar provision
of Law).
 
2.10           Title and Risk. Title to the Transferred Assets shall not pass
until Closing. Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall continue to carry on the
Business for their own benefit and at their own risk up to Closing. The
Transferred Assets shall be at the risk of Buyer from Closing.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements.
 
(b)           Buyer is not: (i) in default under or in breach of any Order; or
(ii) a party or subject to any Order, except, in each case, where such default
or breach, or such Order, would not reasonably be expected to: (A) have a
material adverse effect on the ability such Buyer to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any Other Agreement; or (B) otherwise prevent, hinder or
delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Other Agreements.
 
4.4           Independent Investigation. Buyer has such knowledge and experience

management with respect to the Business; and
 
(j)           authorizing, committing or agreeing to take any action that would

Founder and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take and

-30-

 
 
(b)           Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller or any Seller
Subsidiary’s rights under any agreement, Contract, commitment, lease, Permit, or
other Transferred Asset to be assigned to Buyer hereunder may not be assigned
without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained prior to or as
of Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same
if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and
Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required
consent(s) as promptly as possible after Closing. If any such consent shall not
be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair
Buyer’s rights under the Transferred Asset in question so that Buyer would not
in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller and Buyer shall
cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement, as Buyer may
reasonably request, under which Buyer would, to the maximum extent permitted by
Law and the Transferred Asset, obtain the economic Claims, rights and benefits
under such Transferred Asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations
with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by
subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing such Transferred Asset to Buyer.
Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer when received all monies received by Seller
under such Transferred Asset or any Claim or right or any benefit arising
thereunder and Buyer shall promptly pay Seller for all liabilities of Seller
associated with such Transferred Asset that would otherwise constitute “Assumed
Liabilities” had such Transferred Asset been assigned to Buyer at the Closing.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as having obligated Seller to have
paid or committed to pay any amount in order to obtain any consent, waiver, or
approval with respect to Contracts with third parties prior to the Closing.
 
(c)           Audited Financials. Buyer may, at its sole option and expense,
engage a certified public accountant (the “Auditor”), who shall be subject to
Seller’s reasonable approval, to audit the Financial Statements (or portion
thereof). In the event Buyer elects to audit the Financial Statements (or
portion thereof), Seller shall reasonably cooperate and shall give the Auditor
reasonable access to Seller’s books and records during Seller’s normal business
hours at the place designated by Seller; provided, however, the Auditor may not
remove any original files or records and shall not unreasonably interfere with
the ordinary course of Seller’s business (such audited balance sheets and
statements of the Seller and Seller Subsidiaries above are referred to
collectively as the “Audited Financial Statements”). The Audited Financial
Statements shall not differ in any material way from the Financial Statements.
 
5.4           Access to Information.
 
(a)           During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier
of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 11 or the
Closing Date, upon reasonable prior notice, Seller shall and shall cause the
Seller Subsidiaries to afford Buyer and its authorized Representatives
reasonable access during normal business hours to (i) the personnel engaged in
the conduct of the Business and (ii) the books, records or Contracts to the
extent relating exclusively to the Business (other than the Excluded Assets);
provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be
conducted at Buyer’s expense without reimbursement from Seller or its
Affiliates, under the supervision of Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as
not unreasonably to interfere with the normal operations of Seller or any Seller
Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, any information furnished or made
available by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.4(a) shall be treated as
Seller Proprietary Information (as defined in the letter agreement, dated as of
August 30, 2018, by and between Seller and Buyer (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”)) and shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller
and any Seller Subsidiary shall not be required to disclose any information to
Buyer or its Representatives if such disclosure would, in Seller’s sole
discretion, (A) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (B)
contravene any applicable Laws (including applicable privacy or data protection
Laws), fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date
hereof, or (C) relate solely to any income Tax Return or related work papers
filed or prepared by or with respect to Seller or solely to any Tax Return or
related work papers prepared by or with respect to any predecessor entity of
Seller.
 
 
 
-31-

 
 
(b)           All information provided or obtained pursuant to Section 5.4(a)
shall be held by Buyer in accordance with and subject to the terms of the
Confidentiality Agreement, until the Closing Date except such information as was
provided to Seller subject to an obligation of confidentiality which shall
remain confidential per the terms of each respective agreement.
 
(c)           Any information provided pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not
affect or otherwise diminish or obviate in any respect, or affect Buyer’s right
to rely upon, any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in
this Agreement or the indemnification rights contained in this Agreement.
 
5.5           Confidentiality. Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates,
acknowledges that it is in possession of confidential information exclusively
concerning the Business (the “Business Confidential Information”). Seller agrees
that if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, from
and after the Closing, it shall, and it shall cause its Representatives and
Affiliates to keep the Business Confidential Information confidential and not
disclose the Business Confidential Information without the prior written consent
of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller may disclose such Business Confidential
Information to any of its Representatives or Affiliates who have a commercially
reasonable need to know and who are informed of the confidential nature of such
Business Confidential Information and who are subject to confidentiality
obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5.5 with
respect to any such disclosed Business Confidential Information. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Business Confidential Information shall not include any
information which (a) has become publicly known and made generally available
through no wrongful act of Seller, (b) has been rightfully received by a
receiving party from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure, or
(c) is required to be disclosed by Law (whether by deposition, interrogatory,
request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process)
after, to the extent permissible, providing prompt written notice to Buyer of
such request so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective Order or other
appropriate remedy.
 
5.6           Exclusivity. During the period from the date of this Agreement
until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Article 11 or the Closing Date (the “Exclusivity Period”), Seller will not, and
will cause its Affiliates (including the Seller Subsidiaries) not to, directly
or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, discuss, or knowingly encourage the
submission of any inquiry, contact, proposal or offer from any Person relating
to the acquisition of the Business or all or any part of the Transferred Assets,
whether by merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets, exclusive license, or
otherwise (any such inquiry, contact, proposal or offer, an “Acquisition
Proposal”), (b) negotiate, discuss, or approve any offer or indication of
interest with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or undertake any transactions
similar to the foregoing, (c) furnish any information with respect to, or assist
or participate in, any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek to do any
of the foregoing or (d) enter into any agreement, memorandum of understanding or
letter of intent relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall promptly
(and in any event, within 24 hours) notify Buyer if it, or any of its
Representatives receives after the date of this Agreement, any Acquisition
Proposal or any indications of interest or requests for information in respect
of a Proposal.
 
 
 
-32-

 
 
5.7           Maintenance of Books and Records. After the Closing Date, Seller
shall retain the records that are Excluded Assets in accordance with Seller’s
document retention policy, and Buyer shall retain the books and records of
Seller delivered to Buyer relating to periods prior to the Closing Date in
accordance with Buyer’s document retention policies. During the period during
which such books and records are retained, duly authorized Representatives of
Seller or Buyer, as applicable, may have reasonable access to such records,
during normal business hours and on reasonable prior written notice, at the
requesting party’s expense, for any reasonable business purpose specified by the
requesting party in such notice. Each of Seller and Buyer shall, and each shall
cause its respective Representatives and Affiliates to, keep any information
obtained pursuant to this Section 5.7 confidential and not disclose such
information without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however,
that a party may disclose such information to any of its Representatives or
Affiliates who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and
who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those
set forth in this Section 5.7 with respect to any such disclosed information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing confidentiality obligations shall
not apply with respect to any information which (a) has become publicly known
and made generally available through no wrongful act of the receiving party, (b)
has been rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party who is
authorized to make such disclosure, or (c) is required to be disclosed by Law
(whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process) after, to the extent permissible,
providing prompt written notice to the other party of such request so that the
other party may seek an appropriate protective Order or other appropriate
remedy.
 
5.8           Update of Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to the
Closing, Seller may supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto (each a
“Schedule Supplement”); provided, that no such supplement or amendment shall
limit or otherwise constitute a waiver by Buyer of any misrepresentation or
breach of any warranty or covenant of Seller hereunder or Buyer’s right to make
a claim for indemnification hereunder.
 
5.9           Restrictive Covenants.
 
(a)           Non-Solicit; No Hire. As an inducement for Buyer to enter into
this Agreement and to consummate the Acquisition, each of Seller and Founder
hereby covenants and agrees that during the period beginning on the date of this
Agreement and ending on the fifth (5) anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Restrictive Period”), neither Seller nor Founder shall (and Seller shall cause
Seller Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, on their own
behalf or in coordination with or on behalf of others and in any form or manner
whatsoever:
 
(i)           encourage, solicit, induce, hire or attempt to solicit, induce or
hire any Business Employee to leave the employ of Buyer (or any Affiliate
thereof);
 
(ii)           interfere with the relationship between Buyer (or any successor
thereto or Affiliate thereof) with any Business Employee or any other Person who
is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for Buyer (or any
Affiliate of Buyer) in connection with its operation of the Business; or
 
(iii)           induce or attempt to induce any Business Customer, supplier,
licensee or other business relation of the Business not to do business with (or
to cease doing business with) Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof), or in any way
interfere with the relationship between Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof) and any
Business Customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation thereof
(including by inducing or attempting to induce any such Person to terminate,
reduce or not expand the amount of, or adversely modify the nature, volume or
scope of, the business such Person does with Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof)).
 
(b)           Non-Compete. As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the Acquisition, each of Seller and Founder hereby
covenants and agrees that for the duration of the Restrictive Period (except as
provided below), neither Seller nor Founder shall (and Seller shall cause Seller
Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, on its own behalf
or in coordination with or on behalf of others and in any form or manner
whatsoever engage or have a financial interest in, manage, control, participate
in (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, manager, member, agent,
representative or otherwise), consult with or render services to, anywhere in
the world, the Restricted Business. Nothing herein shall prohibit Seller or
Founder (or any of Seller Subsidiaries or Affiliates) from being a passive owner
of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a
corporation which is publicly traded, so long as such Person has no active
participation in the business of such corporation.
 
 
 
-33-

 
 
(c)           Seller and Founder Acknowledgements. Each of Seller and Founder
acknowledges that (i) Seller and Founder have expended and following the
Closing, Buyer shall continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money and
effort to develop business strategies, employee and customer relationships and
goodwill of the Business, (ii) restrictions contained in this Section 5.9 are
reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer, (iii)
Buyer would not enter into this Agreement but for the restrictions contained in
this Section 5.9, (iv) the restrictions contained in this Section 5.9 are
reasonable with respect to duration, geographic area and scope, (v) any breach
by Founder, Seller, any Seller Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the
restrictions contained in this Section 5.9 may result in irreparable harm and
damages that could not be adequately compensated by a monetary award and further
that such potential harm outweighs the potential harm to Founder, Seller, Seller
Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof of the enforcement of the restrictions
contained in this Section 5.9, and accordingly, Buyer will be entitled to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or redress any such breach
(without posting a bond or other security); (vi) Buyer is entering into this
Agreement in reliance upon Seller’s and Founder’s agreement to the restrictions
contained in this Section 5.9; and (vii) Seller and Founder will receive
(whether directly or indirectly) the Purchase Price and other substantial
benefits from the Acquisition, and (viii) Buyer will acquire the Transferred
Assets and substantial goodwill associated therewith, and that this Agreement is
intended to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware and the State of
Florida and all other jurisdictions that might be deemed to be applicable hereto
and which restrict or otherwise limit the enforceability of a contract that
restrains a Person from engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business. In
the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.9 should ever be
adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other
limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is
expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed
reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or
service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants
contained in this Section 5.9 and each provision hereof are severable and
distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such
invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
(d)           Disparagement. Following the Closing, neither Seller nor Founder
shall, and Seller shall cause Seller Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, in any
manner take or cause to be taken any action which is designed or intended to
discourage, or could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
anticipated to have the effect of discouraging brokers, distributors, customers,
suppliers, referral sources, Governmental Authorities, insurance companies,
lessors, consultants, salespersons, advisors and other business associates from
maintaining the same business relationships with Buyer (or any successor
thereto) after the date of this Agreement as were maintained with Founder,
Seller or any Seller Subsidiaries prior to the date of this Agreement. Following
the Closing, Founder and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause the Seller
Subsidiaries to, refer all customer inquiries with respect to the Business to
Buyer.
 
(e)           Tolling of Restrictive Period. In the event of any nonfulfillment
or breach by Founder, Seller, Seller Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Seller of
any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.9, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Restrictive Periods with respect to
Founder or Seller shall be tolled during (and shall be deemed to be
automatically extended by) any period in which Seller or Founder is in violation
of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.9.
 
5.10           Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the
execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other
party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting
party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under
Article 12).

TAX MATTERS
 
6.1           Proration of Taxes.
 
(a)           Seller shall timely and properly prepare and file (or cause to be

(b)           Liability for all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and
similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Business, any Seller
Subsidiary, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (individually or
in the aggregate) for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the
Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer
(the “Apportioned Obligations”) based on the number of days of such taxable
period included in the period ending on and including the Closing Date (the
“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period included
in the period after the Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”).
Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned
Obligations that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period based on the
number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the total number of days in the
Straddle Period. Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such
Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period
based on the number of days in the Post-Closing Tax Period to the total number
of days in the Straddle Period. Within a reasonable period after the Closing
Date, Seller and Buyer shall present a reimbursement to which Seller and Buyer
are entitled under this Section 6.1(b) together with such supporting evidence as
is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount
shall be paid by the party owing it to the other party within 10 days after
delivery of such statement. Thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify
each other upon receipt of any bill for real or personal property Taxes relating
to the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, part or all
of which are attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period, and shall promptly
deliver such bill to the other, and the parties shall true up the amounts owed
in accordance with this Section 6.1(b). In the event that either Seller or Buyer
make a payment for which they are entitled to reimbursement under this Section
6.1(b), the other party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event
later than 10 days after the delivery of a statement setting forth the amount of
reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such
supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of
reimbursement. Any payment required under this Section 6.1(b) and not made
within 30 days of delivery of the statement shall bear interest at the rate per
annum determined, from time to time, under the provisions of Code Section
6621(a)(2) for each day until paid.
 
6.2           Cooperation on Tax Matters.
 
(a)           Buyer and Seller agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished to the
other upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including
access to books and records) and assistance relating to Seller, the Transferred
Assets, the Business, and the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for
the filing of any Tax Return, the preparation for any Tax audit, or the
prosecution or defense of any Claim or Proceeding relating to any proposed Tax
adjustment relating to the Transferred Assets, the Business or the Assumed
Liabilities; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to furnish or
cause to be furnished to Buyer its income Tax Returns. Buyer and Seller shall
keep all such information and documents received by them confidential unless
otherwise required by Law. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other as
reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing. Buyer and Seller agree, upon
request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other
document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary
to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to
the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section
6.2(a) shall require a party to disclose information not related specifically to
the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Business to the extent it
reasonably deems such information to be confidential.
 
(b)           Buyer and Seller agree to retain, or cause to be retained, all
books and records pertinent to the Transferred Assets until the applicable
period for assessment of Taxes under applicable Law (giving effect to any and
all extensions or waivers) has expired and such additional period as necessary
for any administrative or judicial Proceedings relating to any proposed
assessment, and to abide with all record retention agreements entered into with
any Tax authority.
 
 
 
 
-35-

 
 
6.3           Tax Proceedings.
 
(a)           Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by
Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any written communication from a Governmental
Authority concerning Taxes for which Buyer may be entitled to recovery under
this Agreement or that relates to Seller’s or any of Seller’s Affiliate’s Taxes
for any taxable year or other period and shall promptly notify Seller in writing
of any pending or threatened audit, Claim, demand or administrative or judicial
Proceeding (a “Tax Claim”) that could give rise to a right of indemnification
under this Agreement or that relates to Seller’s or any of Seller’s Affiliate’s
Taxes for any taxable year or other period describing in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Tax Claim;
provided, however, that any delay in such notice shall not affect Buyer’s right
to recovery or indemnification hereunder except to the extent of actual material
prejudice to Seller.
 
 
(b)           Seller shall have the exclusive right to control any Tax Claim to
the extent that any such Tax Return or Tax Claim (i) relates to Seller’s or any
of Seller’s Affiliate’s Taxes for any taxable year or period, or (ii) could
reasonably be expected to result in any Losses for Taxes with respect to which
Seller has agreed to provide indemnification under this Agreement. Upon Seller’s
request, Buyer shall execute any powers of attorney or similar documents that
may be required to effectuate the intent of this Section 6.3(b).

7.1           Employment of Transferred Employees. As of the Closing Date, Buyer
shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of employment to each
Business Employee set forth on Section 7.1 of the Disclosure Schedule (the

of Buyer) offers employment and who accept such offers of employment and become
employed by Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer), are herein referred to herein as
the “Transferred Employees” and each Transferred Employee shall cease to be an
employee of Seller or any of the Seller Subsidiaries, as applicable, as of the
Closing Date (or, with respect to any Transferred Employee who is not actively
at work on the Closing Date, upon such individual’s return to active employment
with Buyer or its Affiliates).
 
7.2           Third Party Rights; Amendments to Employee Plans. Nothing in this

or its Affiliates (or Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing) to amend or
terminate any Benefit Plan (or employee benefit plan of Buyer, as applicable) or
other benefit or compensation plan or program after the Closing and nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any
such plan. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall
constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plan.

-39-

 
 
 
11.3           Termination by Buyer. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to the
Closing by Buyer if (a)  Seller breached any of its representations or
warranties or shall have failed to perform in any material respect any of its

closing conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, shall
not be satisfied, which breach or failure is not curable or, if curable, is not

such breach or failure; or (b) any condition in Article 8 becomes incapable of
fulfillment at the Closing.
 
11.4           Termination by Seller. This Agreement may be terminated and the

termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article 11;

a breach of any material representation or warranty or any failure to perform
any covenant and agreement occurring prior to the termination; provided,
however, that Seller shall be relieved from liability for a breach of any
material representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant occurring
prior to the termination, to the extent that such termination arises from a

omission of Seller or Founder was the proximate cause of such failure to fulfil
the condition in Section 8.8. Upon any termination of this Agreement, each party
hereto will return or destroy all documents, work papers and all other material
of the other party relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and all
copies of such materials, whether so obtained before or after the execution
hereof, to the party furnishing the same.

ARTICLE 12 

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
 
12.1           Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations
and warranties of the parties (whether set forth in this Agreement or any Other
Agreements, or the Disclosure Schedule, agreement, certificate or other document
delivered in connection herewith) shall survive the Closing until the twenty
four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the Fundamental
Representations shall survive indefinitely with respect to the matters covered

warranties related to any claim for indemnification asserted under this Article
12 within the relevant time period set forth in this Section 12.1 shall survive
until all such claims shall have been finally resolved and payment in respect
thereof, if any is required to be made, shall have been made. All covenants and
agreements of the parties (whether set forth in this Agreement or any Other
Agreements, the Disclosure Schedule, or any other certificate or other document
delivered in connection herewith and whether to be performed prior to the
Closing or after the Closing) shall survive the Closing indefinitely or until
the latest date permitted by Law. The respective representations and warranties
of the parties (whether set forth in this Agreement or any Other Agreements, the
Disclosure Schedule or any agreement, certificate or other document delivered in
connection herewith), and the rights to indemnification set forth in this
Agreement, shall in no event be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any
investigation, inquiry or examination made, or any knowledge acquired, by any
party or by the acceptance by any party of any certificate hereunder.
 
12.2           General Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification Obligations of Seller and Founder. Subject to the
provisions contained in this Article 12, from and after the Closing, Seller and
Founder, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) in respect of any Losses that any of the Buyer Indemnified
Parties may incur, sustain or suffer directly or indirectly, as a result of,
with respect to, in connection with or relating to any of the following:
 
(i)           any breach or inaccuracy as of the date hereof or as of the
Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this
Agreement or any Other Agreements, the Disclosure Schedule, or any other
schedule, agreement, certificate or other document delivered by or on behalf of
Seller in connection herewith;
 
(ii)           any nonfulfillment or breach by Seller or any Seller Subsidiary
of any covenant, agreement or obligation applicable to it under this Agreement
or any Other Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, or any other schedule,
agreement, certificate or other document delivered by or on behalf of Seller in
connection herewith;
 
(iii)           any Retained Liabilities;
 
(iv)           all Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 6.1
or Section 13.14; or
 
 
 
-41-

 
 
 
 
(v)           any claim relating to warranty obligations or services with
respect to any product or service provided by Seller or any Seller Subsidiaries
prior to the Closing in connection with the operation of the Business other than
claims relating to warranty obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business.
 
(b)           Indemnification Obligations of Buyer. Subject to the provisions
contained in this Article 12, after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold
harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns
(collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) in respect of any Losses that
any Seller Indemnified Party may incur, sustain or suffer as a result of, with
respect to, in connection with or relating to any of the following:
 
(i)           any breach or inaccuracy as of the date hereof or as of the
Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this
Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any other schedule, agreement, certificate
or other document delivered by or on behalf of Buyer in connection herewith;
 
(ii)           any nonfulfillment or breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement
or other obligation applicable to Buyer under this Agreement or any Other
Agreement, or any schedule, agreement, certificate or other document delivered
by or on behalf of Buyer in connection herewith; or
 
(iii)           any Assumed Liabilities.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, if any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any
Other Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or in any Schedule, agreement,
certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith is qualified by
materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or a derivative thereof, such
qualification will be ignored and deemed not included in such representation or
warranty for purposes of (i) determining whether there has been a breach or
inaccuracy of such representation or warranty or certificate and (ii)
calculating the amount of Losses with respect to any such breach or inaccuracy.
 
12.3           Limitations on Indemnification by Seller and Founder.
Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 12.2, neither Seller nor Founder
shall be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any
Losses for which indemnity is claimed under Section 12.2(a)(i) (excluding any
Losses relating to (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental
Representation or (ii) any Retained Liability) to the extent that the aggregate
amount of such Losses exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (“Liability
Limit”; provided, that the Liability Limit shall not apply or limit
indemnification with respect to any Losses relating to any facts or
circumstances which constitute or arise out of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or willful misconduct.
 
12.4           Limitations on Indemnification by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything
contained in Section 12.2, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify the Seller
Indemnified Parties against, or reimburse any Seller Indemnified Parties in
respect of any Losses for which indemnity is claimed under Section 12.2(b)(i)
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Losses relating to any breach or
inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation) to the extent that the aggregate
amount of such Losses exceeds the Purchase Price Cap; provided, that the
Purchase Price Cap shall not apply or limit indemnification with respect to any
Losses relating to any facts or circumstances which constitute or arise out of
fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct.
 
 
 
-42-

 
 
12.5           Manner of Payment.
 
(a)           Any indemnification owing pursuant to this Article 12 by Seller or
Founder shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of
the amount of such Losses thereof.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
amount of any indemnification payable under this Article 12 will be net of any
insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party under any policies
of insurance covering the Loss giving rise to the indemnification claim, less
any costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the
recovery of such insurance proceeds, and less any related increases in insurance
premiums or other chargebacks incurred by the Indemnified Party.
 
12.6           Third Party Claims. If any Proceeding is initiated by any third
party (any such Proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person entitled
to seek indemnification under this Article 12 (an “Indemnified Party”), and if
such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification with respect thereto
under this Article 12, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, after receipt of
written notice of such Proceeding, provide written notice of such Proceeding to
the party or parties from whom the Indemnified Party intends to seek
indemnification (the “Responsible Party”), which notice shall describe such
Proceeding in reasonable detail and the amount claimed in respect thereof (if
known and quantifiable); provided, that the failure to so notify the Responsible
Party shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder
unless and to the extent the Responsible Party shall be actually and materially
prejudiced by such failure to so notify. The Responsible Party shall be entitled
to participate in the defense of such Proceeding giving rise to an Indemnified
Party’s claim for indemnification at the Responsible Party’s expense, and at its
option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume
control of the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with
such defense within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the Proceeding;
provided, that prior to the Responsible Party assuming control of such defense,
it shall (x) demonstrate to the Indemnified Party in writing the Responsible
Party’s financial ability to provide full indemnification to the Indemnified
Party with respect to such Proceeding (including the ability to post any bond
required by the court or adjudicative body before which such Proceeding is
taking place) and (y) subject to the limitations set forth herein, agree in
writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Proceeding;
provided, further, that:
 
(a)            the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate (at its
sole cost) in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for
such purpose;
 
 
 
-43-

 
 
(b)            the Responsible Party shall not be entitled to assume control of
such defense if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in
connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or
investigation, (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse
determination with respect to the Proceeding giving rise to such claim for
indemnification would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the
Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, (iii) such claim
seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) the
Third Party Claim may result in suspension or debarment of Buyer or any
Affiliate of Buyer by a Governmental Authority, (v) a conflict of interest
exists between the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party with regard to
the Third Party Claim, (vi) the Responsible Party failed or is failing to
vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (vii) the defense of such
Proceeding by the Responsible Party would reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s relationship with Buyer’s (or its
successor’s) relationships with material customers or vendors; and
 
(c)            if the Responsible Party shall control the defense of any such
claim, the Responsible Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of a Proceeding unless the
settlement involves only payment of money damages, all such money damages will
be the responsibility of, and paid by, the Responsible Party, the settlement
does not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief and the settlement
unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect
to such claim.
 
12.7           Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party with respect to
a claim for indemnity under this Article 12 that does not result from a claim by
a Third Party will be asserted by giving the Responsible Party reasonably prompt
written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail
and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then
available to the Indemnified Party), and asserting the amount, if known, or if
not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses
resulting from such claim (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final
amount of such Losses) (an “Indemnity Notice”). The failure of the Indemnified
Party to provide an Indemnity Notice to the Responsible Party shall not relieve
the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder unless and only to the extent
such failure shall have an actual prejudicial effect on the defenses or other
claims available to the Responsible Party. If the Responsible Party notifies the
Indemnified Party within 20 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that
the Responsible Party disputes such claim (the “Dispute Notice”), the claim
shall be resolved as provided pursuant to Sections 13.10, 13.11 and 13.12. If
the Responsible Party does not timely deliver a Dispute Notice, or delivers a
Dispute Notice that does not object to all of the Losses set forth in the
Indemnity Notice, the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have accepted and
agreed with all or such portion of the claim and shall be conclusively deemed to
have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of all or such portion
of the Losses specified in the Indemnity Notice.
 
12.8           Final Purchase Price Adjustment. All indemnification payments
made under this Article 12 shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Final
Purchase Price.
 
12.9           Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided in this Article 12 and
any limitations set forth herein, shall, from and after the Closing, be the sole
and exclusive monetary remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller
Indemnified Parties with respect to the Acquisition or relating to or arising
out of the Other Agreements (except (a) in the case of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation, or willful misconduct, and (b) for any other remedies
expressly set forth in this Agreement), and subject to the foregoing, no party
hereto shall have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach of
this Agreement or any other Loss arising out of the negotiation, entry into or
consummation of the Acquisition for the recovery of Losses resulting from,
relating to or arising out of this Agreement.
 
 
 
-44-

 
 
12.10                      Limitation of Consequential Damages. In no event
shall any Responsible Party be responsible or liable for any Loss or other
amounts under this Article 12 that are consequential damages that are not
reasonably foreseeable or are special, punitive or exemplary damages, except, in
all cases, to the extent any such Losses or other amounts result or arise from
or are related to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, or a
willful breach of a covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or are
required to be paid to a Third Party in respect of a Third-Party Claim.

13.2           Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or
in part only by an agreement in writing executed by Buyer and Seller and making
specific reference to this Agreement.

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Buyer may assign
their rights and interests to any of their controlled Affiliates, but Buyer
remain responsible in all respects for any of their obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this
Section 13.4 shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, a change of
control of either Buyer or Seller shall not be deemed an assignment.
 
13.5           Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and any other application thereof shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; provided, however, that to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
provision may be considered for the purpose of determining the intent of the
parties in connection with the other provisions of this Agreement.
 
13.6           Waivers. Buyer and Seller may, by written agreement, (a) extend
the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the

contained in this Agreement, and (d) waive or modify performance of any of the

failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant,
agreement or condition shall operate as a waiver of, or an estoppel with respect
to, any subsequent insistence upon such strict compliance other than with
respect to the matter so waived or modified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
(a) a party fails to provide written notice of an alleged violation of this
contract, as provided herein, within one (1) year of the alleged violation or
the date on which the complaining party should reasonably have become aware of
such alleged violation, whichever is later, or (b) the alleged violation is not
still in existence on the date of said notice and/or (c) the alleged violation
has been ratified by the complaining party prior to said notice, such alleged
violation shall be waived but only as to said specified instance and not as to
all future occurrences of said alleged violation.

13.7           Press Releases and Public Announcements. Except as required by
applicable Law, including the United States federal securities Laws or listing
agreement with any securities exchange, no party to this Agreement shall, nor
permit its Affiliates to, make any public announcement or press release with
respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that such a public announcement or press release may be issued at such
time and in such manner as Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree and determine.
 
13.8           Headings. The headings in the sections and subsections of this
Agreement and in the Schedules are inserted for convenience only and in no way

consent and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of each such state or federal
court. Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or

forth above shall be effective service of process for any action with respect to
any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 13.11.
Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of
venue of any action arising out of this Agreement, the Other Agreements or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any such court, and hereby
further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim
in any such court that any such action brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
13.12         Waiver of Jury Trial Rights. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR
ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE MATTERS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT THAT EACH HAS
ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL
CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO

13.13             No Third-Party Rights. Other than Sections which are
specifically for the benefit of Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller
Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed
to create any rights in any Persons other than Buyer and Seller, and no Person
shall assert any rights as third-party beneficiary hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Seller and Founder agree that Lewis shall have the right to
