funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions delivered to Buyer prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(xiii).


 


(b)           to the extent not otherwise paid by the Company, Buyer will pay, on behalf of the Company, Company Transaction Expenses to the

(c)           Buyer will pay the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire

“Escrow Account”) as security for the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations under Article VII, in
accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement, in an agreed form to be entered into by Buyer, the Seller Representative and the Escrow
Agent as of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Agreement”).


 


(d)           Buyer will pay the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Company Cash at Closing is a lower number than the Required Cash Balance,

Pro Rata Share, with the Parties acknowledging that the payment allocable to Rabih Zahr is being reduced by the amount of the Phantom
Equity Bonus Payment to be received by Makarem), an amount in cash equal to the sum of: (i) with respect to Rabih Zahr, his Pro Rata Share
of the Purchase Price less those amounts paid pursuant to subsections (c) and (e) above and less $17,000,000 (the “Phantom
Equity Bonus Payment”), (ii) with respect to the TPC Trust, its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price less those amounts

subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes in accordance with Section 1.10(b) hereof), and (iv) with respect to Cyrus Kong, his
Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price less those amounts paid pursuant to subsections (c) and (e) above (the sum of the net amounts
in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Closing Consideration”).


 






    2


     


    

 





1.4             
 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place
via the electronic transmittal of executed documents on the date three (3) Business Days following the date on which all of the conditions
set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived by the respective Party (other than those that by their terms cannot be satisfied
until the time of the Closing but subject to satisfaction of such conditions at the Closing), provided, however, that such Closing
Date (as defined below) shall occur on the earlier date to occur of the first (1st) day of the month or the fifteenth (15th)
day of the month (provided that such date is a Business Day, and if it is not, the next Business Day), or such other date as is
mutually agreed in writing by the Company, the Seller Representative and Buyer (the date the Closing actually takes place, the “Closing
Date”). The Parties agree that the Closing will be effective and deemed to have occurred as of 12:01 a.m., Pacific time, on
the Closing Date. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the purchase and sale
provided for by this Agreement on the date and time pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not result in the termination of this
Agreement and shall not relieve any Party of any obligation under this Agreement.

1.6           Closing
Date Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will
deliver to Buyer an unaudited estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the anticipated Closing Date, prepared in accordance with
the Accounting Principles (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) together with an unaudited estimated statement (the “Estimated
Closing Statement”) presenting the Company’s good-faith estimate, in each case, calculated in accordance with the Accounting
Principles‎, of (i) the calculation of the Company Indebtedness at Closing (the “Estimated Company Indebtedness”),
(ii) Company Cash at Closing (‎“Estimated Company Cash”) and (iii) a schedule of the Company Transaction Expenses
that will not have been paid prior to the Closing. Buyer shall have the right to review the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Estimated
Closing Statement and such supporting documentation or data as the Buyer may reasonably request and to discuss the Closing Date Balance
Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement with the Company; provided that the failure to include in the Closing Date Balance Sheet
and Estimated Closing Statement any changes proposed by Buyer, or the acceptance by Buyer of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Estimated
Closing Statement, or the consummation of the Closing, shall not constitute a waiver or limit or otherwise affect Buyer’s rights
under this Agreement, including rights to pursue a claim for indemnification in respect of Company Indebtedness, Required Cash Balance
or Company Transaction Expenses following the Closing (in accordance with this Agreement), or constitute an acknowledgment by Buyer of
the accuracy of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement.


 


1.7           Escrow. The Escrow Amount will be held in the Escrow Account established by the Escrow Agent, but held for the ‎benefit
of the Parties in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Buyer will have the right to ‎access and utilize the Escrow
Amount, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to defend ‎against and/or to satisfy any indemnifiable claims made
during the term of the Escrow Account which are the Seller Parties’ ‎responsibility under this Agreement‎; provided,
that any such utilization of the Escrow Amount shall not ‎otherwise decrease or affect the Seller Parties’ indemnification
obligations under Article VII or otherwise. ‎The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be shared equally between Buyer,
on the one hand, and ‎Seller Parties, on the other hand. ‎The interest, earnings and income that accrues upon the Escrow Amount,
if any, during the period of time during which they are held in the Escrow Account shall be deemed to become part of the Escrow Amount,
respectively. The release of funds from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement and the terms of this Agreement (which,
for clarity, will control over the Escrow Agreement). For Tax reporting purposes, all such interest, earnings and income, if any, shall
be allocated to Buyer.


 


1.8           Withholding.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and the ‎Company, as applicable, shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise ‎payable (directly or indirectly) pursuant to this Agreement such
amounts as Buyer or the ‎Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under
‎Applicable Law; provided, however, that Buyer shall notify the Person in respect of which such withholding is proposed
to be made at least five (5) Business Days prior to such withholding and shall cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate
such withholding to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including taking into consideration all relevant and duly executed Tax
forms. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be ‎treated for all purposes of this Agreement
as having been paid to the applicable payee in respect ‎of which such deduction and withholding was made.


 






    5


     


    

 


1.9           Payment Allocations. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall ‎have no liability with respect to the actual
allocation among the Seller Parties of the Closing Consideration or ‎any other amount due to any Seller hereunder provided that
any such amount is paid in accordance with this Agreement.


 


1.10         Tax Treatment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and applicable state and local
income Tax purposes), as a result of the consummation of the contemplated transactions under this Agreement, (a) Sellers shall be treated
as selling to Buyer the Shares for the applicable portion of the Purchase Price in a transaction described under Section 1001 of the Code,
and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Phantom Equity Bonus Payment, such payment shall be treated for U.S. federal income
Tax purposes (and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) as part of the Purchase Price paid to Rabih Zahr from the Buyer, followed
by Rabih Zahr making a capital contribution (without any issuance of shares of capital stock) into the Company of such same amount, followed
by the Company paying such Phantom Equity Bonus Payment to Nedal Makarem as compensation subject to applicable withholding and payroll
taxes and deductible by the Company (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law,
each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to (a) report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes
consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including order noted), and (b) not take any position for Tax purposes (whether in audit,
Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.


 


1.11       Company Cash.


 


(a)           Immediately
prior to the Closing, the Company shall have distributed to Sellers all of the Company’s Cash other than $500,000 of Cash
which shall be retained in the Company accounts, designated as such (the “Required Cash ‎Balance”).
Thereafter, upon the completion of the second full calendar month of the ‎Company’s operations following the Closing,
Buyer shall reasonably determine‎ the Company’s Cash Flow for each of such monthly periods (exclusive of the Required
Cash ‎Balance amount) and provide Seller Representative with a statement (the “Cash Statement”) of the
‎Company’s Cash Flow for such periods. In the event of any deficit in the Company’s Cash Flow (i.e. if the
Company’s Cash Flow is below $0) for either monthly period, the Buyer may elect to apply a corresponding portion of the
Required Cash Balance against any such deficit. Thereafter, Buyer shall determine the remaining amount of the Required Cash Balance
following the application of any of the ‎Required Cash Balance amount toward any deficit in the Company’s Cash Flow for
the subject periods, if any (such amount, the “Cash ‎Return Amount”), and the same shall be reflected on
the Cash Statement. Upon written request by Seller Representative, Buyer will make available ‎to Seller Representative
reasonably requested financial information relevant to Buyer’s ‎preparation of the Cash Statement and the calculation of
the Cash Return Amount. During the first two calendar months following the Closing, Buyer shall not, unless determined by Buyer in
good faith to be necessary in connection with the continued operation of the Company’s Business, cause the Company to
undertake any Cash expenditures outside the Ordinary Course of Business.


 






    6


     


    

 


(b)           Subject to the remaining terms hereof, if and only to the extent that Company’s ‎Cash Flow is positive following such
two month period after application of the Required Cash ‎Balance toward any such deficit in the Company’s Cash Flow for the
subject periods, Buyer shall pay ‎the Cash Return Amount to Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers; provided, ‎however,
in no event shall the Cash Return Amount payment hereunder exceed the initial ‎Required Cash Balance.


 


(c)           Within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s delivery of the later of the Cash ‎Statement and the receipt of any requested
supporting documentation in accordance with Section ‎‎1.11(a), Seller Representative will complete its examination
thereof and will deliver to Buyer ‎either (i) a written acknowledgement accepting the Cash Statement, the calculation of the Company’s
Cash Flow for the subject period and the resultant ‎Cash Return Amount, if any, or (ii) a written notice of disagreement setting
forth in reasonable detail ‎‎those items or amounts set forth in the Cash Statement as to which Seller Representative ‎disagrees
and the basis for such disagreement (a “Cash Notice of Disagreement”). Valid bases for a Cash Notice of Disagreement
include, but are not limited to: ‎‎(A) an amount set forth in the Cash Statement is alleged to have not been properly ‎calculated
‎in accordance with the clause (a) above; (B) there is alleged to be a mathematical ‎or computational ‎error in the
recording of any amount included in the Cash Statement; or (C) ‎an amount properly ‎belonging to Cash is alleged to have been
omitted from the Cash ‎Statement. Seller Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with and not objected to all ‎other
items and ‎amounts set forth in the Cash Statement other than those specified in any ‎Cash Notice of ‎Disagreement.
If Seller Representative fails to deliver a Cash Notice of Disagreement to ‎Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer’s
calculation of the Company’s Cash Flow on the Cash ‎Statement and the Cash Return Amount shall be deemed to have been accepted
by Seller Representative and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties.


 


(d)           During a period of thirty (30) days following the receipt by Buyer of a Cash ‎Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Seller Representative
shall negotiate in good faith and use ‎commercially reasonable efforts to resolve promptly all of the disputed items specified in
such ‎Cash Notice of Disagreement and to revise the calculation of the Company’s Cash Flow for the subject period and the
resultant ‎Cash Return Amount accordingly. ‎Any such disputed items that are resolved by a written ‎agreement between
Buyer and ‎Seller Representative shall be final, binding and conclusive on ‎the Parties.


 






    7


     


    

 


(e)           If
Buyer and Seller Representative are unable to resolve all of the disputed ‎items specified in a Cash Notice of Disagreement
during such thirty (30) day period, either ‎Buyer or Seller Representative may submit the unresolved disputed items to the
Accountant to ‎make the final determination with respect to the correctness of the proposed adjustments in the ‎Cash
Notice of Disagreement, but only with respect to those items in the Cash Notice of ‎Disagreement that are still in dispute
between Buyer and Seller Representative. To that end, ‎Buyer and Seller Representative shall jointly instruct the Accountant
that: (i) the Accountant ‎shall act as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator to resolve the unresolved disputed
‎items specified in a Cash Notice of Disagreement in accordance with the terms and definitions ‎of this Agreement, and
(ii) the Accountant may not determine an amount of a disputed item ‎greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by
either party or less than the smallest ‎value claimed for such item by either party. Subject to the guidelines and limitations
in the ‎immediately preceding sentence, the Accountant shall deliver to Buyer and Seller Representative, as promptly as
practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days following the ‎submission of the unresolved disputed items to the
Accountant, a written report setting out its ‎calculation of the Company’s Cash Flow and the resultant Cash Return
Amount, which report shall be final, ‎binding and conclusive on the Parties. Buyer and Seller Representative will use
commercially ‎reasonable efforts to aid the Accountant in rendering its decision, including by promptly ‎complying with
all reasonable requests by the Accountant for information, books, records and ‎similar items. The costs and expenses of the
Accountant pursuant to this Section will be paid by Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the one hand, and Buyer, on
the ‎other hand, in proportion to the dollar value of the item(s) subject to the dispute determined in ‎favor of the
other party.


 


(f)            Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days of (i) acceptance or deemed ‎acceptance by Seller Representative of any portion
of Buyer’s calculation of the Company’s Cash Flow for such ‎period and the resultant undisputed portion of the Cash
Return Amount pursuant to Section 1.11(c), (ii) revision by mutual ‎agreement of Buyer and Seller Representative in accordance
with Section 1.11(d), or (iii) ‎adjustment as determined by the Accountant in accordance with Section 1.11(e), deliver
the relevant undisputed, revised or adjusted portion of the Cash ‎Return Amount, as the case may be, to Seller Representative.


 


Article
II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER PARTIES

of users of the Software Products and all Internet websites owned, maintained or operated by the Company; or (ii) the use,
collection, storage, disclosure or transfer of any Personal Information, including employee Personal Information, collected by or
provided to the Company or by third parties having authorized access to the records of the Company. Furthermore, the Company has not
received, from any Person, Governmental Authority, or any regulatory or self-regulatory entity, any written (or to Company’s

Contract, or assertion of an unfair, misleading or deceptive trade ‎practice regarding the collection, access, storage,
transfer, processing, use or disclosure of ‎Personal Information by Company or any third party vendor acting on behalf of
‎or under the authority of Company. ‎To the Company’s Knowledge, the Company has provided adequate notice of its
privacy practices in its privacy policy or policies, which policy or policies are and have been available to users on the websites
owned, maintained or operated by the Company, and the Company’s privacy practices conform in all material respects to such
privacy policy or policies. The execution of the transactions contemplated in connection with this Agreement will not prevent the

prior to the Closing in the manner that it was accessed, stored, processed, transferred, and used immediately prior to the Closing.
The Company does not, has not, and has not authorized any Person to transfer, store, transmit or process any Personal Information

(ix)           The Company has taken commercially reasonable ‎steps to ensure that third party vendors of the Company that collect, access,
process, store, transfer or use Personal Information collected by ‎or on behalf of the Company have commercially-reasonable safeguards
to protect Personal Information in its possession or control ‎against unauthorized access, processing, use, modification, disclosure,
or other ‎misuse. To the extent a third party vendor accesses, stores, processes, transfers or collects ‎Personal Information
on behalf of the Company, the Company has entered into a Contract with such third party vendor requiring it ‎to comply with industry
standard data security measures, Privacy Laws and Data Policies governing the Personal ‎Information accessed, stored, processed,

‎obligation arising out of such Contract to comply with Privacy Laws with respect to Personal ‎Information governed by such

terms are commonly understood in the software industry), security vulnerability or any code designed or intended to have any of the following
functions: (i) disrupting, disabling, harming or otherwise impeding in any manner the operation of, or providing unauthorized access to,
a computer system or network or other device on which such code is stored or installed; or (ii) damaging or destroying any data or file

Representative shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all federal, state, local, and foreign income Tax Returns
required to be filed after the Closing Date by or with respect to the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing
Date; provided that at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any valid extensions) for filing any
such Tax Return, Seller Representative shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.9(a),
Buyer and the Company shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all other federal, state, local, and foreign Tax
Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company after the Closing Date; provided that at least thirty (30)
days prior to the due date (taking into account any valid extensions) for filing any such Tax Return, including any Straddle Period,
Buyer and the Company shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to Seller Representative for Seller Representative’s review and
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.


 


(b)           To the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law, Sellers, Buyer and the Company shall report all Transaction Tax Deductions, to
the extent deductible, as attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, shall prepare
any Tax Returns and claim any applicable refunds, credits, or net operating losses accordingly. Buyer and the Company shall not make any
ratable allocation election under Treasury Regulation 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or (iii) (or any similar ‎provision ‎of Applicable
‎Law) with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.


 


(c)           Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Buyer and the Company shall not (i) file any amended Tax Return with respect to a

(d)           At
the reasonable request of Seller Representative, to the extent supported by Applicable Law, Buyer and the Company shall apply for
any Tax refund available to the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent any such refund or credit arose
‎as the result ‎of a carryback of a net operating ‎losses, capital losses or other ‎Tax attributes from a
Taxable Period or portion thereof ‎‎beginning ‎after the Closing Date. Any Tax refunds that are received after the
Closing by the Company, and any amounts credited against Taxes in lieu of a refund to which the Company becomes entitled, that in

Company) shall have ‎any obligation to reimburse or otherwise make any ‎payment under this ‎Agreement to the
‎Sellers, the Seller Representative or any other Person as ‎a result of ‎the ‎availability or utilization in
a Tax period (or portion of a Tax Period) beginning ‎after the ‎Closing ‎Date of any net operating loss or other
Tax attribute of the Company that is attributable ‎to any ‎‎Pre-Closing Tax Period.


 






    39


     


    

 


(e)           The Buyer, the Sellers and the Seller Representative agree that ‎the ‎Company’s taxable year end for U.S. federal
income Tax purposes shall end as of ‎‎the Closing Date, and Buyer shall cause the Company to join the Buyer’s (or its
parent ‎corporation’s, if any) “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section ‎‎1.1502-1(h))
for purposes of U.S. federal income Taxes effective as of the beginning of the date ‎following the Closing Date, each to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law. ‎Each party hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with this Tax treatment and shall ‎not
take any position inconsistent therewith, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.


 


(f)            Each of the Buyer, on one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall notify the other in writing within ten
(10) days of the receipt of any written notice of any inquiries, audits, examinations, assessments, or proceedings from any Tax authority
with respect to Taxes of the Company for which the Sellers would be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Agreement (any such inquiry, assessment, proceeding or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). Seller Representative may, at
its own expense, participate in and, upon notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter relating solely to a Tax period ending
on or before the Closing Date (but not a Straddle Period, which is governed by Section 5.9(g). If Seller Representative assumes
such defense, Seller Representative shall have the authority, with respect to such Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Company
before the relevant Tax authority and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter
subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment
for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. Buyer has the right
(but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel
employed by Seller Representative. Seller Representative shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter
to the extent that it adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer, the Company or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing for any Tax period ending after the Closing Date, including any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer.
Seller Representative shall keep Buyer fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter,
and will, in good faith, allow Buyer or Buyer’s counsel to consult with the Seller Representative regarding the conduct of or positions
taken in any such proceeding and to be present at any meetings or proceedings with the relevant Tax authority.


 






    40


     


    

 


(g)           Buyer
has the right to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Tax authority with respect to any inquiry, audit,
examination, assessment, proceeding or other similar event relating to a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Tax
Matter”) and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Straddle Period Tax Matter,
including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional
Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Straddle Period Tax Matter. If Sellers would
be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Matter
then: (i) Seller Representative shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Straddle Period Tax
Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, (ii) Buyer shall not enter into any
settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Straddle Period Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability
of the Sellers without the prior written consent of Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

nature of any such Straddle Period Tax Matter, and will, in good faith, allow Seller Representative or its counsel to consult with
Buyer regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding and to be present at any meetings or proceedings with the
relevant Tax authority.


 


(h)           Buyer shall and shall cause the Company to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating
to the Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller
Representative, any extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods. Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company,
on the other hand, shall (i) assist the other Parties in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing
and filing in accordance with Section 5.9(a), (ii) assist the other Parties in conducting any Tax audit, claim, investigation
or other proceeding which such other party is responsible for conducting, (iii) provide access during normal business hours to the books
and records of such Party relating to the Taxes of the Company prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) timely provide to the other Parties
powers of attorney or similar authorizations reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 5.9.


 


(i)            Each of the Parties shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of
the other in filing any Tax Return or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company, Buyer or any
Seller, as the case may be. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof,
together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities.
Buyer and Sellers shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax
matters of the Company (including any predecessors thereof) for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate.


 


(j)            All Tax sharing, allocation, and indemnity agreements and similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be
terminated as of the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability or obligation
thereunder.

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of the ‎Company, shall have the right to
contact the state and local taxing authorities in the states ‎identified on Schedule 5.9(k)‎ ‎
(“Taxing Authorities”) with respect to the Company's income, ‎sales and use and other state and local Taxes
related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and enter into a ‎‎“voluntary disclosure agreement” or other similar
program with any such Taxing Authority with ‎respect to such sales and use taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period
(each, a “VDA ‎Proceeding”). Buyer shall have the right to control in any process or proceeding (including
the ‎amendment, preparation and filing of sales and use Tax Returns) relating to any VDA ‎Proceeding; provided,
however: (i) the Seller Representative shall have the right (but not the ‎duty), solely at the Sellers’ expense to
(A) participate in any VDA Proceeding, (B) attend any ‎meetings or conferences with any Taxing Authority relating to a VDA
Proceeding, (C) consult ‎with Buyer concerning the conduct of a VDA Proceeding, and (D) employ counsel to assist with ‎a
VDA Proceeding; (ii) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the submission of any letters, ‎documents, or calculations
to a Taxing Authority in connection with a VDA Proceeding, Buyer ‎shall provide Seller Representative with a reasonable
opportunity to comment on any such ‎materials prepared or furnished in connection with such VDA Proceeding prior to the
submission ‎of such materials and shall incorporate reasonable comments made by Seller Representative with ‎respect
thereto; and (iii) Buyer shall keep Seller Representative reasonably informed of the status ‎of any VDA Proceeding throughout
the process of such VDA Proceeding. Notwithstanding ‎anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this Section
5.9(k), other than relating to ‎the filing of any Tax Returns for any Tax period ending after the Closing Date, unless
otherwise ‎required by Applicable Law, Buyer shall not contact any state or local taxing authority in any ‎state not
identified on Schedule 5.9(k) with respect to the Company's income, sales and use and ‎other state and local Taxes
related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or participate in any VDA ‎Proceeding without the consent of Seller Representative, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, Seller Representative’s withholding of consent shall not be
deemed to be unreasonable if the Buyer’s proposed VDA ‎Proceeding relates to a state with a potential Tax exposure of
less than $25,000, unless the Company has any employees in or any other physical nexus with respect to any such state. ‎


 


(l)            In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.9 and any other provision of this Agreement, this
Section 5.9 shall control.


 


5.10         No Solicitation of Transactions. Except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement, the Seller Parties shall not and shall
cause the Company not to, directly or indirectly, take (and the Seller Parties shall not authorize any of its or their respective directors,
managers, officers, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives or, to the extent within
the Company’s control, other Affiliates to take) any action to (a) solicit, initiate or facilitate any Acquisition Proposal, (b)
enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (c) participate in any way in negotiations with, or furnish any information

acknowledges and agrees that the Company and Buyer would be irreparably damaged if it were to provide services to or otherwise participate

and agreements set forth in this Section 5.11 were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder, that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements of the Restricted Parties
set forth in this Section 5.11 and that Buyer and its stockholders would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this
Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if any Restricted Party breached the provisions of this Section 5.11. The obligations
of the Restricted Parties hereunder shall be independent of and in addition to any similar obligations of the Restricted Parties under
any separate agreement with Buyer or its Affiliates.


 


(b)           Each Restricted Party agrees that from the Closing Date until the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing (the “Restricted
Period”), he shall not, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, invest in, manage, control, finance, participate in (whether
as an officer, director, shareholder, employee, partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, or in
any other manner engage anywhere in the Restricted Territories, in any business engaged directly or indirectly in the Business or any
other business that is competitive with the Business; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Restricted Parties or any
of their Affiliates from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly
traded so long as none of such Persons has any active participation in the business of such corporation. Each Restricted Party acknowledges
that the Company’s business has been conducted or is presently proposed to be conducted throughout the Restricted Territories and
that the geographic restrictions set forth above are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill of the Company’s business

(c)           Each
Restricted Party agrees that during the Restricted Period, it shall not, directly or indirectly, through another Person, (i) induce
or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the employ of or engagement by
the Company or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or its Affiliates and any employee
or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or engage, offer to hire or engage or assist others to hire or engage or offer to hire
or engage any person who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company or its Affiliates at any time during the twelve
(12) month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring or engagement would take place, or (iii) call on, solicit or
service any current or prospective customer, reseller, affiliate, client, or independent contractor of the Company or its Affiliates
(including any Person that was a customer, reseller, affiliate, client, or independent contractor of the Company or its Affiliates
at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to such call, solicitation or service), induce or attempt to
induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
any such customer, reseller, affiliate, client, or independent contractor and the Company or its Affiliates (including making any
negative statements or communications about the Company or its Affiliates) in a manner harmful to the Company or its Affiliates; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 5.11(c)(ii) will apply to: (A) any individual who responds to general mass
solicitations of employment and generalized employee searches by headhunter/search firms (in either case not specifically directed
at any employee of the Company); or (B) in the case of Section 5.11(c)(i) or (ii), hiring or inducing or assisting any
other Person in hiring any individual that was an employee of the Company after such individual’s employment has been
terminated by the Company.


 






    43


     


    

 


(d)           Each Restricted Party agrees that it shall not, except done in good faith in any claim, suit, action or proceeding against Buyer
or the Company, (i) make any negative statement or communication regarding Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or
employees with the intent to harm the Company or Buyer or (ii) make any derogatory or disparaging statement or communication regarding
Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or employees. Nothing in this Section 5.11(d) shall limit any of a Restricted
Party’s ability to make true and accurate statements or communications in connection with any disclosure that is required pursuant
to Applicable Law.


 


(e)           If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 5.11 (the “Restrictive Covenants”),
a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the
Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration,
scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period,
scope and area permitted by Applicable Law. Each Restricted Party has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants
and based on such consultation have determined and hereby acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration,
scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Company’s business and the substantial investment in
the Company made by Buyer hereunder.


 


(f)            If any Restricted Party breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, Buyer and the Company shall
have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable,
and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyer, the Company or any of their
respective Affiliates at law or in equity:


 


(i)            the
right and remedy of injunction, to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced ‎and/or other equitable relief by any court
of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity ‎of proving actual harm or posting a bond or other security therefor, it being
agreed that ‎any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable ‎injury to the Company
and Buyer and that money damages would not ‎provide an adequate remedy to the Company or Buyer; and


 






    44


     


    

 





(ii)           the
right and remedy to require such Restricted Party to account for and pay over ‎to the Company any profits, monies, accruals, increments
or other benefits ‎derived or received by such Person as the result of any transactions constituting a breach ‎of the Restrictive
Covenants.


 


(g)           The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 5.11 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and
remedies available to Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates at law or in equity.


 


(h)           In the event of any breach or violation by a Restricted Party of any of the ‎Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such
covenant shall be tolled with respect to such Restricted Party until such breach ‎or violation is resolved.


 


5.12         Section 280G.


 


(a)           The Company ‎shall deliver to ‎Buyer a copy of a customary analysis with respect to each “disqualified individual”
within ‎the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and ‎the Treasury Regulations promulgated ‎thereunder (each a “Disqualified
Individual”) with respect to the Company and any payment(s) ‎or benefit(s) that would reasonably be expected to constitute
“parachute payments” within ‎the ‎meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
‎‎thereunder (each a “Parachute Payment”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including any potential payments or benefits, that are not reasonably expected to be “reasonable compensation” for services
to be rendered on or after the Closing as described in Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A-5(a)(5)
and Q/A-40, pursuant to any plans, agreements, or other arrangements of the Buyer or its Affiliates, the material terms of which will
be provided to the Company no later than ten (10) days after the Agreement Date), which identifies whether any Disqualified Individual
would receive any “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (an “Excess Parachute Payment”).


 


(b)           On the Closing Date and prior to the Closing, (i) the Company ‎shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Parachute
Payment Waiver, in the form approved by Buyer, ‎from each Disqualified Individual who would reasonably be expected to receive any
Excess Parachute ‎Payments in connection with the transaction resulting from this Agreement, and (ii) with respect to each Parachute
Payment Waiver received, if ‎any, as soon as practicable following the ‎receipt of the Parachute Payment Waivers (if any),
the Company shall submit the ‎payments waived under the Parachute Payment Waivers to the holders ‎of the Shares for approval,
in each case, in accordance with the requirements of ‎‎Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
‎‎thereunder ‎‎(the foregoing actions, a “280G Vote”). Prior to the Closing Date, if Parachute
‎Payment Waivers ‎are obtained and a 280G Vote is taken, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Buyer, (A) that a ‎‎280G Vote was ‎solicited and (B) the result of such 280G Vote. The Company shall provide
‎drafts to the Buyer of the form of the Parachute ‎Payment Waiver, the disclosure statement, and ‎any other materials
to be submitted to the Sellers, in each Seller’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, in connection with the ‎‎280G
Vote prior to soliciting the Parachute Payment Waivers.

Parties, the payment and performance of all obligations of TPC Trust, as a Seller under this Agreement. Makarem hereby agrees that each
of Buyer and, as applicable, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may proceed against Makarem, as guarantor, simultaneously with or after proceeding

under this Agreement, provided that Buyer or (as applicable) the Buyer Indemnified Parties first make demand upon TPC Trust with notice
to Makarem. This guaranty shall not be terminated or impaired in any way by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Makarem or TPC
Trust. Makarem agrees that this guaranty shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional and shall remain and continue in full force
and effect as to any amendment or other modification of this Agreement, except to the extent that any such amendment or modification
expressly amends or modifies this Section 5.13. Should Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party seek to enforce the obligations of
Makarem hereunder by action in any court or otherwise, Makarem waives any requirement, substantive or procedural, that Buyer or such
Buyer Indemnified Party first enforce any rights or remedies against TPC Trust or any other Person liable to Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified
Party for all or any part of the guaranteed obligations, including that a judgment first be rendered against TPC Trust or any other Person,
or that such TPC Trust or any other Person should be joined in such cause, provided that Buyer or (as applicable) the Buyer Indemnified
Parties first make demand upon TPC Trust with notice to Makarem. Such waiver shall be without prejudice to Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified
Party’s right, at its option, to proceed against TPC Trust applicable to Makarem or any other Person, whether by separate action
or by joinder. This guaranty is binding upon Makarem and, as applicable, Makarem’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives

but only to the extent specified below:


 


(a)           All covenants and agreements in this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Closing will terminate at the Closing and
all other covenants and agreements in this Agreement will expire when so stated in accordance with their express terms or, ‎if no
such term is expressed, indefinitely; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Tax covenants under Article V
and any Tax indemnification under Article VII shall survive until sixty (60) days after the applicable statutes of limitations
have expired with respect to each such matter addressed therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the survival periods set forth in this Section 7.1(a) are applicable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification
against the Seller Parties in accordance with this Agreement, but are not intended to, and shall not, modify or limit the Buyer Indemnified
Parties’ right to recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with its terms.


 


(b)           The representations and warranties contained in Article II, Article III, Article IV of this Agreement will
survive the Closing Date until the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date and shall then terminate and be of no further force
or effect; provided that, the representations and warranties of each Seller Party contained in Section 2.1 (Authority;
Binding Nature of Agreement), the representations and warranties of each Seller contained in 2.3 (Ownership of Shares) and 2.4
(Brokers); the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization, Power and Authority), 3.2
(Authority of the Company), 3.3 (Capitalization), 3.4 (No Subsidiaries), 3.13 (Taxes), 3.20 (Brokers)
and 4.2 (Authority of Buyer) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), which shall survive the
Closing Date for a period equal to sixty (60) days after the applicable statute of limitations and shall then terminate and be of no further
force or effect; and provided further that, the representations and warranties set forth in 2.2(b) (No Violation; Consents
and Approvals), 3.5(b) (No Violation; Consents and Approvals), and 3.12 (Employee Benefit Plans) and 3.16(d) and
(h) (Labor Matters) (collectively, the “Extended Representations”) shall survive the Closing Date for a period
of four (4) years and shall then terminate and be of no further force or effect.


 






    48


     


    

 





(c)           For
the avoidance of doubt, none of Buyer or the Seller Parties will have any liability with respect to claims first asserted in connection
with any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty after the end of the applicable survival period; provided,
however, that if an indemnification claim is asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period of the
representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the
purpose of, the resolution of such claim (including through the date that such claim is finally concluded under the R&W Insurance
Policy).


 


7.2           Indemnification by the Seller Parties. Subject to Section 7.1 and the other provisions and limitations in this
Article VII, from and after the Closing Date, each Seller Party will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer,
the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the officers, employees, directors and stockholders of Buyer, the
Company and their respective heirs and personal representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from
and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses
of outside attorneys), reasonable costs of investigation (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside accountants, consultants and
experts reasonably engaged), amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and other expenses of litigation but excluding any and all internal
“overhead” costs and expenses (e.g. time spent by internal personnel) incurred by any party entitled to indemnification under
this Article VII (collectively, “Damages”), whether or not involving any third party claims, actually incurred
by a Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or a Seller Party contained
in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement, (b)
any breach by the Company or a Seller Party of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that survive the Closing
Date, (c)(i) Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) Taxes imposed on the Company as a result of it having been a member
of an affiliated, consolidated or combined group prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6
or any analogous or ‎similar foreign, state or local ‎Applicable Law‎, (iii) all‎ Taxes of any ‎other Person
for which Company is or has been liable as ‎a ‎transferee or successor, or by ‎Contract resulting from events, transactions
‎or ‎relationships ‎occurring or existing prior to and including the Closing Date, (iv) ‎any Taxes related to
any payments of Seller Expenses, Transaction Tax Deductions or other payments of ‎compensation otherwise paid or accrued by the
Company in relation to the consummation of the ‎transaction under this Agreement, (v) Transfer Taxes for which Sellers are responsible
for pursuant to Section 9.9(b), (vi) all COVID Related Deferrals, or (vii) any Taxes owed by or imposed on Seller Parties, (d)

    49


     


    

 


7.3           Indemnification
by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Party and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, their respective heirs and personal representatives and the officers, employees, directors and
stockholders of TPC Trust (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for, and will pay to Seller
Indemnified Parties the amount of, any Damages, whether or not involving any third party claims, actually incurred by a Seller
Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered by or on behalf of Buyer with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) any breach by Buyer of any of
its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that survive the Closing Date.


 


7.4           Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the remedies provided for in this Article VII (as limited in this Article
VII) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer Indemnified Parties for any claim (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract
or otherwise) arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement herein or otherwise arising out of
or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that this Section 7.4 shall not prohibit
(a) injunctive relief (including specific performance) if available under Applicable Law in accordance with Section 9.12 or
(b) claims for Fraud of Seller Parties and provided further that, with respect to all claims resulting from or relating to any
breach of covenant, ‎agreement or other obligation contained in Section 5.11, any additional remedies shall be as stated
in Section 5.11.


 


7.5           Limitations on Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right of any Buyer Indemnified
Party or Seller Indemnified Party for which indemnification is available ‎under this Article VII (“Indemnified Party(ies)”)
is limited as follows:


 


(a)           The Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to the matters described in Section 7.2(a)
(other than with respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon the breach of the Fundamental Representations, the Extended
Representations, or Fraud) for any Damages until the total of all such Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to
indemnification therefor exceeds an amount equal to $875,000.00, which corresponds to fifty percent (50%) of the R&W Insurance Policy
retention amount (the “Basket”), in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification for all
such Damages in excess of the Basket, subject to the limitations set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties’
liability for any Damages arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representations, the Extended Representations, Fraud or indemnifiable
claims arising under‎ Sections 7.2(b) through (g) will not be subject to the Basket.


 


(b)           The Seller Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to the matters described in Section 7.3(a)
(other than with respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon the breach of the Fundamental Representations or Fraud)
for any Damages until the total of all such Damages for which the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification therefor
exceeds an amount equal to the Basket, in which event Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification for all such Damages
in excess of the Basket, subject to the limitations set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer’s liability for any
Damages arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representations, Fraud or indemnifiable claims arising under‎ Sections 7.3(b)
will not be subject to the Basket.


 






    50


     


    

 





(c)           A
Buyer Indemnified Party’s sole recourse for Damages pursuant to the matters described in Section 7.2(a) (other than
with respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon the breach of the Fundamental Representations, the Extended Representations
or Fraud) shall be to (i) the Escrow Amount then available and (ii) the R&W Insurance Policy. Any claims for Damages made by any
Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon
the breach of the Fundamental Representations, the Extended Representations or Fraud) of this Agreement shall be satisfied initially
out of the Escrow Amount (and if (i) Seller Representative fails to dispute such claim, (ii) Seller Representative and Buyer settle such
claim or (iii) Buyer receives a non-appealable court judgment for such claim, then Buyer and Seller Representative shall promptly deliver
joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer the amount of any such indemnification
payment due to the Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms hereof), to the extent of available funds under the Escrow
Account, and thereafter, if the entire retention under the R&W Insurance Policy has been exhausted, by submission of claims by Buyer
pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.5(d) and (f) below,
the Seller Parties’ liability for any Damages arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representations, Fraud or indemnifiable
claims arising under‎ Sections 7.2(b) - (g) and Buyer Indemnified Party’s recourse hereunder will not be limited by
the Escrow Amount or the amount of the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything else set forth
in this Agreement, as to Section 7.2(g) specifically and subject to the provisions of Section 7.5(f) below, any such liability
related to any special indemnity item subject to Schedule 7.2(g) shall be capped as set forth in Schedule 7.2(g).


 


(d)           Absent Fraud, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller
Parties under or related to this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price; provided, however, absent Fraud, in no
event shall any individual Seller be responsible for indemnification under this Article VII in excess of such Seller’s Pro
Rata Share of proceeds received by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, as adjusted for the payment of the Phantom Equity Bonus Payment
to Makarem pursuant to Section 1.3(f), and in no event shall Makarem’s obligations hereunder exceed the aggregate
of the amount of the Phantom Equity Bonus Payment and the TPC Trust’s Pro Rata Share of proceeds received by TPC Trust pursuant
to this Agreement; and further provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, absent Fraud,
the maximum aggregate liability of Seller Parties under or related to Section 7.2(g) shall in no event exceed the corresponding
cap numbers (if any) set forth as to the respective special indemnity items on Schedule 7.2(g). For the avoidance of doubt, subject
to the provisions of Section 7.5(f) below, any liability of any Seller Party related to any special indemnity item subject to Schedule
7.2(g) shall be capped as set forth in Schedule 7.2(g).


 


(e)           Absent Fraud, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum liability of Buyer under or related
to this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.


 






    51


     


    

 





(f)            There
shall be no maximum liability limitation under this Article VII for indemnifiable claims hereunder arising out of or based upon
Fraud.


 


(g)           ‎Except with respect to Damages actually awarded to a third party in an ‎action brought against any Indemnified Party,
an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII for punitive, consequential or exemplary damages.‎


 


(h)           ‎An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover Damages in respect of ‎any claim or otherwise obtain reimbursement
or restitution more than once with respect to any ‎claim hereunder.


 


(i)            An Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII on account of any Damages shall be reduced
by receipt of applicable payments under insurance policies or from third parties not affiliated with the Indemnified Party (net of the
expenses of recovery thereof).


 


7.6           Mitigation. Buyer and Seller Parties will, in connection with any claim for indemnification under Article VII, use
good faith commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected
to give rise to such Damages. Each Party agrees that, for so long as such Party has any right of indemnification under Article VII,
it will use good faith commercially reasonable effort not to, and agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that its Affiliates do not, voluntarily or by discretionary action, accelerate the timing of a Third Party Claim (any such action a “Prohibited
Action”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified
Party for any Damages to the extent arising from any Prohibited Action.


 


7.7           Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to all claims for indemnification and reimbursement pursuant to this Article
VII:


 


(a)           ‎Notice of Damages by Seller Indemnified Party. As soon as is reasonably ‎practicable after a Seller Indemnified
Party obtains knowledge of any matter which has or may ‎result in Damages, Seller Representative shall give written notice of such
Damages (a “Claims ‎Notice”) to Buyer describing the matter in reasonable detail, and indicate the amount ‎‎(estimated,
if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Damages that has been or may be ‎suffered by the applicable Seller Indemnified Party.
No delay in or failure to give a Claims ‎Notice by Seller Representative to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) will adversely
affect ‎any of the other rights or remedies that any Seller Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve ‎Buyer of
its obligation to indemnify the applicable Seller Indemnified Party except to the extent ‎that it is prejudiced thereby.‎


 






    52


     


    

 


(b)           Notice of Damages by Buyer Indemnified Party.


 


(i)            Claims
for Damages. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, if any Buyer Indemnified Party believes in good
faith that it has a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnity Claim”), the Buyer Indemnified Party shall, promptly
after it becomes aware of such Indemnity Claim, but in any event prior to the end of the relevant survival period set forth in this Article
VII, notify Seller Representative, of such Indemnity Claim by means of a written notice specifying the nature, circumstances and
amount of such Indemnity Claim and setting forth with reasonable particularity the underlying facts actually known or in good faith
believed by the affiant to exist sufficient to establish, as of the date of such affidavit, the basis for the Indemnity Claim and
setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the amount of Damages incurred by the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party with
respect thereto, and including copies of all written documentation in the possession of Buyer Indemnified Parties relating to the
circumstances or events giving rise to such Indemnity Claim (an “Indemnity Claim Notice”). The failure by Buyer
to promptly deliver an Indemnity Claim Notice under this Section 7.7(b)(i) will not adversely affect the applicable
Buyer Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent Seller Parties are prejudiced thereby. If, by 5:00
p.m., Pacific Time (Los Angeles local time), on the twentieth (20th) Business Day following receipt by Seller Representative of an
Indemnity Claim Notice (the “Dispute Period”), Buyer has not received from Seller Representative notice in
writing that Seller Representative objects to the Indemnity Claim (or the amount of Damages set forth therein) asserted in such
Indemnity Claim Notice (a “Dispute Notice”), as the case may be, then Buyer and Seller Representative shall,
subject to available funds under the Escrow Account, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer from the Escrow Amount the
amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Claim Notice, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII.


 


(ii)           Disputes. If Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer within the Dispute Period, Buyer and Seller Representative
shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent Buyer Indemnified Parties
are entitled to indemnification or reimbursement on account of such Indemnity Claim. If Buyer and Seller Representative are able to reach
agreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives such Dispute Notice, Buyer and Seller Representative shall, subject to available
funds under the Escrow Account, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent setting forth such agreement and instructing the
Escrow Agent to release funds from the Escrow Amount, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII. If Buyer and Seller
Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives such Dispute Notice, then the dispute may be
submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction by either Buyer or Seller Representative. For all purposes of this Article VII,
Buyer and Seller Representative shall cooperate with and make available to the other Party and its representatives all information, records
and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution
of such disputes.


 






    53


     


    

 


(c)           Opportunity
to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against an Indemnified Party (whether pursuant to a
lawsuit, other legal action or otherwise, a “Third Party Claim”), the party against whom indemnification or
reimbursement, as applicable, may be sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”, provided that Seller
Representative shall be deemed the Indemnifying Party for the purposes of this Section 7.7(c) if indemnification or
reimbursement is sought from any Seller) shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall (subject to the terms hereof) be obligated at
its own cost and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and (ii) to pursue the
defense thereof in good faith by appropriate Proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including, without
limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend
such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle
such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and
investigation of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.7(c), the Indemnified Party may, at its own
cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to
assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.7(c) within fourteen (14) days after delivery
of the Indemnity Claim Notice in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim
has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) (i) have the right to undertake the
defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim and (ii) keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the
progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and the Indemnifying Party (or if the Indemnifying Party is Seller
Representative, then Seller Parties, jointly and severally) shall be liable for any resulting settlement of such Third Party Claim
and for any final judgment with respect thereto (subject to any right of appeal), if any, but only to the extent otherwise provided
in this Agreement (including Sections 7.5 and 7.6 hereof). In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such
defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party
shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.


 


7.8           Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to this Article VII (including from the Escrow Amount) shall
be construed as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.


 


7.9           R&W Insurance Policy.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sole recourse
of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for the indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties under Section 7.2(a) (other than with
respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon the breach of the Fundamental Representations or the Extended Representations,
or Fraud) will be pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy and the Escrow Amount. For any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2(a)
(other than with respect to indemnifiable claims arising out of or based upon the breach of the Fundamental Representations or the Extended
Representations, or Fraud), Buyer agrees to tender such claim to the R&W Insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy and the Seller
Representative will reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in order to provide the Buyer Indemnified Parties with the benefit of this Agreement
and the R&W Insurance Policy.


 






    54


     


    

 





(b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the funds in the Escrow Account shall additionally be available to the Buyer Indemnified
Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, in satisfaction of indemnifiable claims hereunder related to the Fundamental
Representations, the Extended Representations, Fraud or indemnifiable claims arising ‎under Sections 7.2(b) through (g).


 


7.10         Escrow Release. Within five (5) Business Days after the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow
Expiration Date”), subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Seller Representative
(for distribution to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) the Escrow Amount less an amount equal to the aggregate
dollar amount of claims for Damages made by any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2 which are then outstanding and
unresolved (the “Aggregate Outstanding Claims,” with any retained portion being referred to as the “Retained
Escrow Amount”). In the event and to the extent that after the Escrow Expiration Date any outstanding claim made by any Buyer
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2 for Damages is resolved for any amount less than what was retained for such claim at
the Escrow Expiration Date, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Seller Representative (for distribution to Sellers in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares) an aggregate amount of the Retained Escrow Amount equal to such difference; provided, however, that
such distribution shall only be made to the extent that the Retained Escrow Amount remaining after such distribution would be sufficient
to cover the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Claims that are still unresolved at such time. In the event and to the extent that after
the Escrow Expiration Date any outstanding claim made by any Buyer Indemnified Party for Damages is resolved in favor of such Buyer Indemnified
Party, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover an amount equal to the amount of the outstanding claim resolved in favor
of such Buyer Indemnified Party, and Seller Representative and Buyer shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent for
the release of same to such Buyer Indemnified Party.


 


7.11         Materiality. The representations and warranties that contain any “in all material respects” or other ‎materiality
(or correlative meaning) qualifications shall be deemed to have been given as though there were ‎no “in all material respects”
or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualification for purposes ‎of determining the inaccuracy or breach of any representations
or warranties and the amount of ‎indemnifiable Damages caused by any such inaccuracy or breach.

any time after December 1, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), by Seller Representative upon written notice to Buyer; provided
that, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to Seller
Representative due to a failure of the Company, any Seller or Seller Representative to fulfill in any material respect any covenant
or agreement of such Party which was the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;


 






    55

covenant or agreement of Buyer which was the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Closing Date;


 


(d)           by Seller Representative, if Buyer materially breaches any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement
(excluding conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) and such breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after
written notice to Buyer from Seller Representative specifying such breach; provided, however, that no cure period will be required
for any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured or if as a result of such breach, one or more of the conditions to any Seller Parties’
obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby would not be satisfied at or prior to the Outside Date;


 


(e)           by Buyer, if the Company or any Seller Party materially breach any of its or their respective representations, warranties or obligations
under this Agreement (excluding conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) and such breach is not cured within
twenty (20) days after written notice to the Company or Seller Representative, as the case may be, from Buyer, specifying such breach;
provided, however, that, no cure period will be required for any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured or if as a result

be satisfied at or prior to the Outside Date;


 


(f)            by Buyer, if any condition to Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is incapable of being

restraining, or prohibiting or preventing the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable;
provided that, the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(h) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance
of such Order was due to the failure of such Party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.2           Procedure
and Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated
hereby pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any

shall survive any such termination of this Agreement and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the breach of a covenant
under this Agreement by the other Party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating Party’s obligations under this
Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other Party’s breach of this Agreement, the terminating Party’s right to pursue
all legal remedies for any intentional breaches or condition failures will survive such termination unimpaired (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, such terminating party’s right to bring or maintain any Proceeding for injunction or specific performance as provided
in Section 9.12).

of the Parties. Any failure of the Company, any Seller Party or Seller Representative to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement
may be waived by Buyer, and any failure of Buyer to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by Seller Representative,
at any time by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such other Party, but such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of,
or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply.


 


9.5           Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits, schedules and other documents referred to herein
(including, without limitation, the Confidentiality Agreement) which form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect
to its subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement).


 


9.6           Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable, such decision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain
in full force and effect and the application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.


 


9.7           Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns, but except as contemplated herein, neither this
Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by any Party without the
prior written consent of the other Parties, except that Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to one or more of
its Affiliates, provided, however, Buyer shall be permitted to assign its rights hereunder to (a) lenders providing financing
for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for collateral security purposes and (b) to any buyer of all or substantially
all of its assets (provided that such buyer has agreed in writing to assume, and in fact does so assume, all of the Buyer’s
obligations hereunder) or to any of the Buyer’s Affiliates (provided that such an Affiliate has agreed in writing to assume,
and in fact does so assume, all of the Buyer’s obligations hereunder); provided further that, in each case, no such assignment
shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder.


 


9.8           Parties
in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted
assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under

expressly confirm their agreement that, in addition to the Seller Parties and the Buyer, the other Seller Indemnified Parties and
Buyer Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, will also enjoy the benefits of indemnities made herein which are expressly stated to
be in their favor. In this regard, the Parties agree that such Persons will have the right to enforce those provisions directly

Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a

of Agreement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)

out of or based upon this Agreement shall only be instituted in any federal or state court located in Houston, Texas and Buyer waives

jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any legal suit, action or proceeding
brought by Buyer or any of its Affiliates arising out of or based upon this Agreement shall only be instituted in any federal or state
court located in Los Angeles, California and each Seller Party waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail addressed to such Party in accordance
with the addresses set forth in Section 9.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought
against such Party in any such court. Buyer hereby designates the individual listed in Section 9.2(a) to whom notice may be
given on behalf of Buyer as its true and lawful agent upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted
by or on behalf of the Company (prior to Closing), any Seller Party or Seller Representative. The Company (prior to Closing) hereby designates

WILL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION,

9.17         Legal Representation. Buyer, each Seller Party, Seller Representative, and Company understand, acknowledge and agree that:


 


(a)           Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (“JMBM”) has represented only the Company in connection with this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated hereby;


 


(b)           up to and through the Closing Date, JMBM has not represented or provided legal counsel to Buyer on any matter, and has no attorney-client
relationship with Buyer;


 


(c)           they have been advised by JMBM that under applicable rules of professional conduct (i) a law firm may not represent a client in
a matter directly adverse to another client, unless among other things, each client consents to such representation, and (ii) law firms
may not represent a client against a former client in the same or a substantially related matter unless the former client consents to
such representation;


 


(d)           Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Company following the Closing, hereby consents to the representation of any Seller, Makarem
and/or the Seller Representative by JMBM in connection with any matters adverse to Buyer arising from or related to this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, and also hereby waives any conflict of interest by JMBM related thereto, provided, however,
that JMBM does not use any attorney-client privileged information of the Company that JMBM receives from the Company after the Closing
Date;


 


(e)           Buyer will not assert, nor will Buyer cause the Company to assert, that the possession by JMBM of any confidential information
obtained in the course of JMBM’s pre-Closing representation of the Company as a basis for seeking to disqualify JMBM from representing
any Seller, Makarem or the Seller Representative against Buyer in a matter arising from or related to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby;


 






    62


     


    

 





(f)            JMBM
may rely on this Section 9.17 for purposes of demonstrating that it has given written notice to, and has received written consent
from, Buyer and the Company to JMBM’s, representation of any Seller, Makarem or the Seller Representative as described above;


 


(g)           Buyer further agrees that, as to all communications between JMBM, on the one hand, and any of the Company, any Seller, Makarem
and/or the Seller Representative, on the other hand, prior to the Closing Date to the extent related to this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or negotiations with any third parties regarding a sale of the Company that constitute attorney-client privilege under
Applicable Law (collectively, the “Seller Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation
of client confidence with respect to such Seller Privileged Communications belongs to the Seller Representative (as opposed to Buyer and
the Company), and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company. The parties hereto agree that, as to all other pre-Closing
communications among JMBM, the Company, any of the Seller Parties or the Seller Representative including those that relate solely to the
usual and ongoing business of the Company and do not directly reference or directly involve this Agreement (or the Transactions), the
attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege belonging to the Company
shall continue to be controlled by Buyer after the Closing Date and shall not pass to or be claimed by any of the Seller Parties, the
Seller Representative or any of the Company’s pre-Closing officers or employees;


 


(h)           any post-Closing communications among the Parties hereunder required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute
a voluntary disclosure of any attorney-client privileged matter, a waiver of the expectation of any client confidence or a waiver of any
other rights to any evidentiary privilege that belong to the Company, in each case relating to any ongoing or reasonably foreseeable dispute
with any third party.  Any and all such communications and disclosure of communications and information shall be made under the protection
of a “common interest” or “joint defense” agreement that includes, among other provisions, a non-waiver agreement
regarding the attorney-client privilege in connection with any ongoing or reasonably foreseeable dispute with any third party, including
any Governmental Authority;


 


(i)            upon the Closing, none of Buyer, the Company, nor any of their representatives shall have any right to access any Seller Privileged
Communications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Company and a third party after the Closing,
the Company may (i) assert any attorney-client privilege that exists between JMBM and the Company to prevent disclosure of confidential
communication by JMBM to such third party or (ii) waive such privilege; provided, however, that the Company has given the Seller
Representative at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of its intent to waive this privilege, so that the Seller Representative
has an opportunity to assert such privilege if Seller Representative so chooses.


 


9.18         Seller Representative.


 


(a)           Appointment.
By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement, as of the Closing, Seller Parties irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Seller
Representative as the agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Seller Parties, with full power of substitution, to act in the
name, place and stead of Seller Parties and for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that Seller
Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with this Agreement,
the Transaction Documents and the Transactions.


 






    63


     


    

 


(b)           Authority. Seller Parties grant to Seller Representative full authority to (i) give and receive notices and communications
to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and
other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or
communication shall be given or received by such Seller Parties individually); (ii) authorize release of funds from the Escrow Amount
and/or in satisfaction of claims asserted by Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, including by not objecting
to such claims); (iii) object to such claims pursuant to Article VII and take all such actions pursuant to Article VII as
Seller Representative may deem to be necessary or desirable; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises
of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such claims; (v) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement; and (vi) take
all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without
having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Transactions: (A) each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
deal exclusively with Seller Representative on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under
Article VII; and (B) each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind
whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller Party by Seller Representative, and on any other
action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller Party by Seller Representative, as fully binding upon such Seller Party.


 


(c)           Power of Attorney. Seller Parties recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 9.18(a): (i)
is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by Seller Representative (provided that such delegation is
reasonably acceptable to Buyer); and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of any such Person.


 


(d)           Replacement. If Seller Representative shall resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, Seller
Parties shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Purchase Price), within thirty (30) days after such
dissolution, appoint a successor to Seller Representative (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) and immediately thereafter notify
Buyer of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed Seller Representative as the “Seller Representative”
hereunder. If for any reason there is no Seller Representative at any time, all references herein to Seller Representative shall be deemed
to refer to Seller Parties.


 






    64


     


    

 


(e)           Exculpation.
Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller Party for any act done or omitted hereunder as Seller Representative without
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the bona fide good faith advice of
counsel shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller Parties shall jointly
and severally indemnify Seller Representative and hold him harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their
staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”)
arising out of or in connection with Seller Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements
ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that, in the event that any such
Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller
Representative, Seller Representative will reimburse Seller Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent
attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to Seller Representative by Seller Parties, any
such Representative Losses may be recovered by Seller Representative from the amount remaining of the Escrow Amount at such time as
the remaining amount would otherwise be distributable to Seller Parties; provided that, while this section allows Seller
Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve Seller Parties from their obligation to
promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent Seller Representative from seeking any
remedies available to it at law or otherwise; provided, that, in no event shall any Seller Party have liability in excess of
the amount of consideration paid to such Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement. In no event will Seller Representative be required
to advance his own funds on behalf of Seller Parties or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i)
any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against
non-parties otherwise applicable to, Seller Parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the
indemnities provided to Seller Representative under this section and (ii) no such amount shall be payable by the Company, Buyer or
their respective Affiliates. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of Seller Representative
or the termination of this Agreement.


 


(f)            Seller Representative Expenses. In connection with the performance of his obligations hereunder, Seller Representative shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of Seller Parties (but not the Company,
Buyer or their respective Affiliates), attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain
such other professional and expert assistance, and maintain such records, as Seller Representative may deem necessary or desirable and
incur other out-of-pocket expenses related to performing his services hereunder. Such fees and other expenses incurred by Seller Representative
may be recovered by Seller Representative from Seller Parties as if such fees and expenses were a Representative Loss.


 






    65


     


    

 


(g)           Representative
Reserve. At the Closing, Buyer or the Company (at direction of Buyer) will deposit into an account designated by Seller
Representative $1,000,000 (the “Representative Reserve”). Each Seller shall contribute to the Representative
Reserve in proportion to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share. The Representative Reserve (and earnings thereon) may be applied as
Seller Representative, in Seller Representative’s sole discretion, determines to be appropriate to defray, offset, or pay any
charges, fees, costs, liabilities or expenses that Seller Representative incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including in connection with the evaluation or defense of any claim for indemnification
under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. On the date that the Seller Representative determines that the Representative Reserve
is no longer necessary (the “Reserve Termination Date”), the balance of the Representative Reserve held pursuant
to this Section 9.18(g), if any, and any income earned thereon, less any reserve established by Seller Representative in
connection with pending claims under the Escrow Agreement, shall be distributed by Seller Representative to the Sellers (in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Reserve Termination Date, the Representative
Reserve shall only be so distributed when Seller Representative determines, in his sole discretion, that such distribution is
appropriate.
