B.    In connection with the Closing, Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

THE TRANSACTION 

Section 1.01    Purchase Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, at Closing, Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell to Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, the Company Units in exchange for the consideration set forth herein. 

Section 1.02    Purchase Price. In full consideration of the purchase of the Company Units, at
Closing Buyer shall: 
 (a)    deliver to Seller stock certificates evidencing the Graham Stock; 

(b)    pay and deliver an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration minus the Escrow

Buyer and Seller dated as of the date hereof; 
 (c)    pay the Escrow Amount plus the Working

 (d)    pay and deliver an amount equal to the Estimated
Indebtedness by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Seller in the Estimated Closing Statement; 

(e)    pay and deliver an amount equal to the Estimated Transaction Expenses by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Seller in the Estimated Closing Statement; and 

(f)    deliver the Earn-Out Agreement. 

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to reduce any cash payments to Seller by all applicable deductions and tax
withholdings required to be withheld in respect of the payments pursuant to this Article I. 












 Section 1.03    Purchase Price; Adjustment.

 (a)    Estimates. Prior to the date hereof, Seller delivered to Buyer a written statement (the
“Estimated Closing Statement”) in form and substance as set forth on Schedule 1.03 of the Disclosure Schedules, setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate as of the
Effective Time of, and the components and calculation of, Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness (including the intended beneficiaries of such Estimated Indebtedness to be paid at the Closing, and each component thereof), and Estimated
Transaction Expenses (including the intended beneficiaries of such Estimated Transaction Expenses to be paid at the Closing, and each component thereof), with the components thereof prepared in accordance with GAAP consistent with Schedule
1.03 of the Disclosure Schedules, together with a certificate signed by Seller to the effect that Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses were determined in good faith in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. Buyer and its representatives shall have an opportunity to review and comment on the Estimated Closing Statement, which shall be consistent with the agreed to methodology and example set forth on Schedule 1.03 of
the Disclosure Schedules and Working Capital calculation consistent with Schedule A-1 and subject to Buyer’s approval in good faith. The Estimated Closing Statement, and each component thereof,
shall be adjusted as necessary on or prior to the Closing Date to reflect any adjustments reasonably requested by Buyer in good faith and satisfactory to Seller in its reasonable discretion. 

(b)    Delivery of Closing Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Graham and Buyer shall
cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail along with reasonable supporting documentation thereto their calculation of the Closing Working
Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses, the components thereof prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by Graham and Buyer to the effect that the Closing
Statement has been prepared in good faith in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.03. 

(c)    Cooperation. Each of Seller, Graham and Buyer agrees that it will, and it will use
reasonable efforts to cause its respective Affiliates, agents and representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing
Transaction Expenses, and in the conduct of the reviews and dispute resolution process referred to in this Section 1.03, including, but not limited to, providing Seller and its representatives reasonable access to the books and records of the
Company. 
 (d)    Review Period. During the 30-day
period following Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall be permitted to review the books and records of the Company and working papers of Buyer relating to the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement and the calculation of the
Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives written notice of their disagreement with the
Closing Statement (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date, which notice, to be valid, must comply with this Section 1.03. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail to the
extent known by Seller the nature of any disagreement so asserted, and include all supporting schedules, analyses, working papers and other documentation to the extent in Seller’s possession, (ii) include only disagreements based on the
Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness or the Closing Transaction Expenses not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to, this Section 1.03, (iii) specify the line item or items in the
calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness or the Closing Transaction Expenses with which Seller disagrees and the amount of each such line item or items as calculated by Seller, and (iv) include Seller’s
calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness or the Closing Transaction Expenses. Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts included in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the
Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses delivered pursuant to Section 1.03(b) except such items that are specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement and the effect such disputed items may impact other line items or
calculations. 

  
 3 













 (e)    Resolution of Disputes. If Seller
delivers, in a timely manner, Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 1.03(d), then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this Section 1.03(e)), and the resulting calculation of any Closing Working Capital, Closing
Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses resulting therefrom, shall become final and binding upon the parties upon (i) the date all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement are finally resolved in writing by Seller and Buyer and/or
(ii) the date all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement not resolved by Seller and Buyer are finally resolved in writing by the Arbiter. The Closing Statement shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect any resolution by
Seller and Buyer and any final resolution made by the Arbiter in accordance with this Section 1.03(e). During the 30-day period following the delivery of a timely Notice of Disagreement or such longer
period as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree, Seller and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer), Seller and Buyer have not so resolved such differences, Seller and Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to an independent
accounting or valuation firm (the “Arbiter”) for review and resolution of any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were included in the Notice of Disagreement in accordance with this Section 1.03. The
Arbiter shall be a mutually acceptable nationally or regionally recognized independent public accounting firm agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in writing; provided, that in the event the parties are not able to mutually agree on an accounting
or valuation firm, the Arbiter shall be Grant Thornton LLP. Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to render a decision resolving the matters in dispute within 30 days following the submission of such matters to the
Arbiter, or such longer period as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree. Seller and Buyer agree that the determination of the Arbiter shall be final and binding upon the parties and that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Arbiter
in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced; provided, that the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbiter is limited to only such items included in the Closing Statement that
Seller has properly disputed in the Notice of Disagreement based upon the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness or the Closing Transaction Expenses not having been calculated in accordance with this Agreement, including this
Section 1.03. The Arbiter shall determine, based solely on written presentations by each of Buyer and Seller and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth on the Notice
of Disagreement and shall render a written report as to the dispute and the resulting calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, which shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. In resolving
any disputed item, the Arbiter: (i) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 1.03; (ii) shall limit its review to the line items and items specifically set forth in and properly raised in the
Notice of Disagreement; and (iii) shall not assign a value to any line item or items greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The fees, costs,
and expenses of the Arbiter (i) shall be borne by Seller in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by Seller (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the
aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be borne by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by Seller (as finally determined by the
Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted. The fees, costs and expenses of Buyer’s independent accountants incurred in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement and review of any Notice of
Disagreement shall be borne by Buyer, and the fees, costs and expenses of Seller’s independent accountants incurred in connection with their review of the Closing Statement and preparation of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Seller.

 (f)    Closing Consideration Adjustment. 

(i)    If the Final Closing Consideration is greater than the Estimated Closing Consideration, then within
five (5) Business Days of the determination of all of Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses, Seller and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Working Capital Escrow Amount to Seller and
Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller prior to the date when such payment is due. 

  
 4 













 (ii)    If the Final Closing Consideration is less than
the Estimated Closing Consideration, then within five (5) Business Days of the determination of all of Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses, Seller and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release
from the Working Capital Escrow Amount to Buyer an amount equal to such deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer prior to the date when such payment is due, and the remaining amount, if
any, shall be released to Seller. If the Working Capital Escrow Amount is depleted, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer any shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer prior to
the date when such payment is due. 
 Section 1.04    Escrow Amount. At the Closing, Buyer
shall withhold from the Estimated Closing Consideration the amount of $5,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”). The Escrow Amount (less any amounts paid to fund any indemnity claims), shall be paid to Seller on
the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing, provided, however, that if any claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement remains outstanding as of such date, the portion of the
Escrow Amount claimed with respect to the claim for indemnification shall not be paid to Seller until final resolution of all such indemnification claims but the undisputed portion to be paid shall be paid to Seller as set forth above. 

Section 1.05    Excluded Assets. Seller shall not sell and Buyer shall not purchase the assets
of the Company set forth on Schedule 1.05 (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). Seller shall transfer the Excluded Assets (and any related liabilities thereto) from the Company prior to Closing, pursuant to an
agreement or other document in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. 
 ARTICLE II

Section 2.01    Closing Date. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the
“Closing”) shall take place by electronic transfer of documents (or at such other place as is agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller), or via electronic transmittal of documents, on the date hereof (the

true and complete copies of (i) all plan documents (including all amendments and modifications thereof) and in the case of an unwritten Benefit Plan, a list thereof, (ii) the current summary plan description and each summary of material
modifications thereto, (iii) the most recent IRS determination, advisory or opinion letter, (iv) all funding and administrative arrangement documents, including trust agreements, insurance contracts, custodial agreements, investment

(c)    The Company and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance in all material respects with the provisions
of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws applicable to the Benefit Plans (including all applicable aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended).
Each Benefit Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and any related documents or agreements and the applicable 

  
 15 













 
provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, and to the knowledge of Seller, neither could reasonably be expected to incur an
employer shared responsibility penalty under Section 4980H of the Code. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate has timely and accurately satisfied its reporting obligations under Sections 6055 and 6056 of the Code. None of Seller, the Company,
any ERISA Affiliate, nor any Benefit Plan fiduciary has, with respect to the Benefit Plans, engaged in a breach of fiduciary duty or a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” as such term is defined in
Code Section 4975 or Section 406 of ERISA. 
 (d)    No Benefit Plan provides for or continues
medical or health benefits, or life insurance or other welfare benefits (through insurance or otherwise) for any Person or any dependent or beneficiary of any Person beyond termination of service or retirement other than coverage mandated by Law,
and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has made a written or oral promise, or any communication that could reasonably be expected to promise, to any Person to provide any such benefits. 

(e)    No Benefit Plan is (or at any time has been), and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has
ever contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or has any liability (contingent or otherwise) under or with respect to, and no current or former employees of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate currently participate or ever have participated
(in connection with their employment for the Company or an ERISA Affiliate) in any employee benefit plan that is (i) subject to Part 3, Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA or Code Section 412, (ii) a “multiemployer
plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) a “multiple employer plan” as described in Section 413(c) of the Code, (iv) a “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” (as defined in
Section 501(c)(9) of the Code), or (v) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA). 

(f)    To the knowledge of Seller, all Benefit Plans which are “employee pension benefit plans”
within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA and which are intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401(a) now meet, and at all times since their inception have met, the requirements for such qualification, and the
related trusts are now, and at all times since their inception have been, exempt from taxation under Code Section 501(a). To the knowledge of Seller, each Benefit Plan or the prototype/volume submitter plan related thereto that is intended to
be qualified under Code Section 401(a) has received a favorable determination letter (or an opinion or advisory letter on which it is entitled to rely) from the IRS that such Benefit Plan or the prototype/volume submitter plan related thereto
is qualified under Code Section 401(a). To the knowledge of Seller, each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) has been timely amended to reflect the provisions of all statutory or regulatory changes
requiring amendments for which the deadline for amendment has passed. To the knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred that will or could give rise to the revocation of any applicable determination letter or the loss of the right to rely on any
applicable opinion or advisory letter, or the disqualification or loss of tax-exempt status of any such Benefit Plan or trust under Code Sections 401(a) or 501(a). 

(g)    Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17(g) of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller’s execution
of, and performance of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Benefit Plan or related agreement, trust or loan
that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting (other than acceleration of vesting due to the termination of a qualified retirement plan as required under this
Agreement), distribution, increase in benefits, or other obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Person or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition or any restrictions or limitations on the right of Seller, the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan (or result in any adverse consequence for so doing). The execution of this Agreement, and performance of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any
additional or subsequent events) result in any payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company that may be characterized as “excess parachute payment,” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1). The Company does not
have any liability or obligation to make a payment that is not deductible under Code Section 280G. No Person is entitled to receive any additional payment (including any tax gross-up or other payment) as
a result of the imposition of the excise taxes required by Code Section 4999. 

  
 16 













 (h)    There are no pending or, to the knowledge of
Seller, threatened litigation, actions, suits, disputes, or claims by or on behalf of any Benefit Plan, any employee or beneficiary covered under any Benefit Plan, any Authority with respect to a Benefit Plan, or otherwise involving any Benefit Plan
(other than routine claims for benefits). No Benefit Plan is under audit, or to the knowledge of Seller inquiry, review or investigation by any Authority and, to the knowledge of Seller, no such audit, inquiry, review or investigation is threatened.
To the knowledge of Seller, there are no facts which could give rise to any material liability in the event of any such audit, inquiry, review, investigation, action, suit or other proceeding. 

(i)    Each of the Benefit Plans can be terminated at any time in the sole discretion of the plan sponsor,
without any additional contribution to such Benefit Plan or the payment of any additional compensation or amount or acceleration of any benefits (other than accelerated vesting with respect to tax-qualified
retirement plans, which shall not require any additional contribution to be made). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the knowledge of Seller, nothing prohibits the distribution of all amounts under any
Benefit Plan subject to Code Sections 401(a), 403(a) or 403(b) or requires any delay in such distributions (subject to the thirty (30) day notice period required by the Treasury Regulations), provided that such Benefit Plan is terminated by the
plan sponsor prior to Closing. 
 (j)    Each Benefit Plan that constitutes a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, complies in all material respects (and has at all relevant times complied) in both form and operation with the
requirements of Code Section 409A so that no amounts paid pursuant to any such Benefit Plan is subject to tax under Code Section 409A; and none of the Company, Seller or any ERISA Affiliate is or has been required to report any Taxes due
as a result of a failure of a Benefit Plan to comply with Code Section 409A. With respect to each such Benefit Plan, none of the Company, Seller or any ERISA Affiliate has any indemnity obligation for any Taxes or interest imposed or
accelerated under Code Section 409A. 
 (k)    All contributions (including all employer
contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) and premium payments which are or have been due have been paid to or with respect to each Benefit Plan within the time required by law. All required payments, premiums, contributions,
reimbursements, or accruals for all periods ending prior to or as of the Closing Date shall have been made or will be properly accrued on the books and records of the Company as of the Closing Date and each ERISA Affiliate as of the Balance Sheet
Date for amounts properly due or required to be accrued as of such date and otherwise as of the Closing Date.

are not expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Graham taken as a whole.

COVENANTS 

Section 5.01    Confidentiality. Except for the benefit of Buyer and its affiliates, Seller

know-how, trade secrets (including all results of research and development), product formulas, industrial designs, franchises, inventions or other intellectual property regarding the Company or the Business
(“Confidential Information”) in its possession or control. The obligations of Seller under this Section 5.01 shall not apply to Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes generally
available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section; or (ii) is required to be disclosed by Law; provided, however, that, in any such case, Seller shall notify Buyer as early as reasonably practicable prior to
disclosure to allow Buyer or the Company to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

employment agreements to certain management personnel to be identified by Buyer. All such individuals shall be entitled to participate in Graham’s bonus and incentive stock plans on the same terms as Graham’s other employees.

 Section 5.04    Retention of Outside
Advisor. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to retain Admiral Tom Kearney (Ret.) to provide business development and strategic positioning guidance to both the Company and Buyer until such time as Graham determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that such guidance is less valuable than the remuneration paid. 
 Section 5.05    Non-Disparagement. Each party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, at any time, in any written or oral communications with the press or other media, any customer, client,
stakeholder, investor or supplier of the other party, or its Affiliates, or any other Person, criticize, ridicule, or make or encourage any other Person to make any public statement that disparages, is derogatory of, or is negative toward the
personal or business reputation, conduct or practices of the other party, any of its Affiliates, or any of their then current or former respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or attorneys. 

Section 5.06    Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, Buyer shall, at the
request of Seller or Seller’s Principals, execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and take all such further action as Seller or Seller’s Principals may reasonably request in order to evidence the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. From time to time after the Closing, Seller shall, at the request of Graham or Buyer, execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and take all such further action as Graham or Buyer may reasonably
request in order to evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

necessary action prior to Closing to terminate the Barber-Nichols Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing. Buyer shall cause the
Company to liquidate the 401(k) Plan’s trust in a timely fashion in accordance with plan terms and to complete all required filings. The Company employees who remain employed after Closing may roll account balances from the 401(k) Plan
(including participant loan promissory notes, subject to the following sentence) to a qualified plan sponsored by Buyer or one of Buyer’s Affiliates. Seller will cause the Company to take such pre-Closing
actions as are reasonably requested by Graham or the Buyer to ensure that such loans will not default as a result of the transaction if a timely rollover election is made, and the Company and Seller and Buyer will accommodate the loan rollover
process for loans which, as of the date of the rollover, are not in default; provided, however, that any such rollover shall be subject to such administrative rules and procedures as may be mutually agreeable, the terms of the plans and receipt of a
timely participant election. 
 (b)    By way of clarification, nothing contained in this
Section 5.07 shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular employee benefit plan of Buyer or the Company, (ii) obligate Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or
(B) retain the employment of any particular employee, (iii) prevent Buyer or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any particular benefit plan or arrangement, or (iv) give any third party the right to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.08    Agreement Not to Compete. 

(a)    For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date (such period of time
hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”), neither Seller nor any Seller’s Principal and any person or entity controlled by the Seller or Seller’s Principal (each, a “Controlled
Entity”), shall not, whether as owner, stockholder, member, manager, part-owner, partner, director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or consultant, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any
business, organization or entity located in, or doing business anywhere in the world that is a Direct Competitor to the Company (defined below). A “Direct Competitor” is defined as any business, organization or entity engaged
in the Business. Notwithstanding this Section 5.08, Seller and each Seller’s Principal may make a passive investment in any publicly-traded company or entity in an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of the voting stock of any such
company or entity. 

  
 25 













 (b)    Seller and each Seller’s Principal agrees
that (i) if either Seller, any Seller’s Principal or any Controlled Entity breaches or threatens to breach any provision of this Section 5.08, the damage to Buyer and its affiliates will be substantial, although difficult to
ascertain, and money damages will not afford an adequate remedy, and (ii) if either Seller, any Seller’s Principal or any Controlled Entity is in breach of this Agreement, or threatens a breach of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled in
its own right and/or on behalf of one or more of its affiliates, in addition to all other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity, to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain a breach of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VI 
 TAX
MATTERS 
 Section 6.01    Tax Indemnification. Seller and Seller’s Principals (in
accordance with Section 7.04) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and Buyer from and against the entirety of any Losses the Company or Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by
each and all of the following: (a) any and all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and the portion through the end of the Closing
Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (b) any and all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated,
combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or
any analogous or similar state, local or foreign law or regulation, (c) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which
Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, and (d) any and all Taxes imposed upon the Company related to any actions taken by Seller following Closing related to amounts payable under this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, together with any costs of preparing and filing Tax Returns related to such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation and Graham and the Buyer shall indemnify Seller and the owners of the Company
and Sellers for any Pre-Closing Period from and against any Losses, including but not limited to the gross up for any Taxes due and owing consisting of, or relating to, Income Taxes resulting from (x) any
elections made or amended tax returns by the Company, Graham or the Buyer with respect to the Company that results in any increase in Taxes being owed for any Pre-Closing Period by the Company or its owners,
(y) an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to Buyer’s acquisition of Company Units pursuant to this Agreement or any other tax treatment resulting in the transactions contemplated hereby being taxed or taxable as an
asset transaction or deemed asset transaction, or (z) any breach by Buyer of Section 6.06 of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, Seller shall be liable only to the
extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount taken into account in determining the adjustments set forth in Section 1.03(f). Buyer shall pay to Seller the amounts due pursuant to clause (y), less the amounts payable to Graham pursuant to
Section 1.03(f) which remain unpaid, above within ten (10) Business Days after final determination of the Allocation pursuant to Section 6.08, which payment will fully satisfy Buyer and Graham’s obligations pursuant to clause
(y). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total of all indemnification obligations of Seller, Buyer, Graham or the Company pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be limited as specified in Article VI. 

Section 6.02    Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not
end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined
based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to
terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. 

Section 6.03    Transfer Taxes. Sales taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, conveyance taxes,
intangible taxes, documentary recording taxes, license and registration fees, recording fees and any similar taxes or fees 

  
 26 













 
incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer

Section 6.04    Cooperation on Tax Matters. Graham, Buyer, the Company and Seller agree to
furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as is practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company (including without limitation access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing
of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Seller shall retain all books and
records of the Company with respect to Taxes (including Income Taxes) for any period up to and including the Closing Date, pertaining to the Company, for at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. At the end of such period, each party
shall provide the others with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice before destroying such books and records of the Company, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such
books and records. Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be
imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other with all information that either may be required to report pursuant to Code
Section 6043, or Code Section 6043A, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Section 6.05    Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be
prepared and file or cause to be filed all income Tax Returns for the Company that are to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date,
including but not limited to the short income Tax year ending on the Closing Date (the “Seller Tax Returns”). Seller shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Seller Tax Return and make such revisions to such Seller Tax
Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyer in good faith. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company, except for Seller Tax Returns, that are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall
permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return relating to a Straddle Period or any period prior to Closing described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably
requested by Seller. 
 Section 6.06    Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections. To the
extent any action would result in an indemnified Tax under Section 6.01, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company to (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or
(ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year, in each such case without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however if any amended income Tax Return is not
otherwise required by applicable Law or by an Authority, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each of the shareholders of the Seller and Company from the amount of all Losses in connection therewith, including but not limited
to any increase in income Taxes and all costs and expenses of filing any amended income Tax Returns. 

Section 6.07    Tax-Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or 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 thereunder. 
 Section 6.08    Allocation. No later than sixty
(60) days following the determination of the Final Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.03, Buyer shall prepare and provide to Seller a proposed allocation of the Final Closing Consideration (along with other
items of consideration for United States federal income Tax purposes) among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the principles set forth in Schedule 6.08 of the Disclosure Schedules (as finally
determined, and subject to any further amendment, in each case pursuant to this Section 6.08 (the “Allocation”). Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent
with the Allocation. Seller shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as Buyer may reasonably request 

  
 27 













 
to prepare the Allocation. In case of any adjustment to the Final Closing Consideration (of any other item of consideration for United States federal income Tax purposes) requiring an amendment
to the Allocation, Buyer shall promptly amend the Allocation in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 6.08 and provide such amended allocation to Seller. Buyer and Seller agree not to take (and to cause the Company not to
take) any position, in connection with any Tax Return, audit or similar proceeding related to Taxes, that is inconsistent with the Allocation.

 (ix)    any warranty claim made by any third party
pursuant to any warranty provided by the Company with respect to any equipment or other products created, manufactured, sold, distributed, leased or licensed, or any services rendered, by the Company prior to the Closing Date, other than claims
under the Company’s standard warranty other than any claim arising from the Specified Warranty; 

(x)    the Specified Warranty; or 

(xi)    the enforcement by the Buyer Indemnitees of their indemnification rights under this Agreement
provided that (1) the Indemnifying Party agrees that Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification rights or (2) a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification rights. 

(b)    Subject to the limitations in Article VII of this Agreement, Graham and Buyer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors and each of Seller’s stockholders (“Seller Indemnities”) from and against all Losses that are incurred or suffered by any of them in connection with or resulting from
each of the following: 
 (i)    any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made

(iii)    the enforcement by Seller Indemnitees of its indemnification rights under this Agreement
(1) the Indemnifying Party agrees that Seller Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification rights or (2) a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that Seller Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification rights. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the proviso at the end of this paragraph and the terms
of this Article VII, (i) Seller shall not be obligated to provide any indemnification for Losses (y) pursuant to claims (other than Third Party Claims) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than Fundamental
Representations) under Section 7.02(a)(i) and (z) pursuant to warranty claims under Section 7.02(a)(ix) and Section 7.02(a)(x), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Buyer with respect to such breaches of
representations and warranties or warranty claims exceeds $350,000.00 (the “Threshold”), in which case Seller will be liable for all Losses in excess of the Threshold, and (ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to provide any
such indemnification for Losses pursuant to claims (other than Third Party Claims) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations) under Section 7.02(b)(i), unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred
by Seller with respect to such breaches of representations and warranties exceeds the Threshold, in which case Buyer will be liable for all Losses in excess of the Threshold. The maximum aggregate obligation of (i) Seller for Losses pursuant to

indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(x), the Cap shall be increased by an additional $1,000,000 for a total Cap of $8,000,000. Neither the Threshold nor the Cap shall apply to Losses arising in respect of claims for misrepresentations

 29 













 (e)    The representations and warranties in this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not be affected or diminished by, and no right of indemnification hereunder shall be limited by reason of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing or the knowledge of any party of
any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other party at any time, or the decisions of any party to complete the Closing. 

(f)    For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any breach of
warranty, any and all references to material or Material Adverse Effect (or other correlative terms) shall be disregarded. 

Section 7.03    Process for Indemnification. 

(a)    A party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall herein be referred to as an
“Indemnified Party.” A party obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder shall herein be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.” As soon as is reasonable (but in all events within fifteen
(15) days) after an Indemnified Party either (i) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action by any third party which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an
Indemnifying Party hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) sustains any Loss not involving a Third Party Claim or action which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification
from an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, action or Loss, as
the case may be setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the potential amount of such Loss, to the extent known; provided, however, that failure to notify Indemnifying Party shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of
its indemnity obligation, except to the extent Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced in its defense of the action by such failure; and provided, further, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the costs and expenses of the Indemnified
Party unless and until written notice is provided to the Indemnifying Party of such claim. Any such notification must be in writing and must state in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the claim, action or Loss, to the extent known. Except as
provided in this Section 7.03, Indemnifying Party shall have the right using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to contest, defend, litigate or settle any such Third Party Claim which involves (and continues to involve)
solely monetary damages; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within 15 days of the Indemnified Party having given notice of the Third Party Claim to the
Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that (1) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in such notice to the Indemnified Party that, as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
solely obligated to fully satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim subject to any limitation with respect to indemnification included in this Agreement; (2) the Third Party Claim is not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party,
likely to result in Losses that will exceed the Cap; (3) if reasonably requested to do so by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have made reasonably adequate provision to ensure the Indemnified Party of the financial ability of
the Indemnifying Party to satisfy the full amount of any adverse monetary judgment that may result from such Third Party Claim; (4) assumption by the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a
material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s business, and (5) the Indemnifying Party shall diligently contest the Third Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) being collectively referred to
as the “Litigation Conditions”). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in, and to be represented by counsel (at its own cost and expense) in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by
the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim. 

(b)    The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided
in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to 

  
 30 













 
forbear to take, any action or which does not provide for a complete release by such third party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle
any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief. All expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. No failure by an Indemnifying Party to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations under this
Article VII shall relieve it of such obligations to the extent such obligations exist. 
 (c)    If
an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party fails to accept a tender of, or assume the defense of, a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.03, the Indemnifying Party shall
not be entitled, and shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in
good faith, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnified Party deems fair and reasonable,

Section 7.04    Method of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, with respect to any indemnification to which any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any Losses it may suffer, once a Loss is finally determined to be payable pursuant to the terms of Section 6.01 or this
Article VII, any payment with respect to such Loss shall be paid first by the release of the amount of such Loss from the Escrow Amount to such Buyer Indemnitee, which release shall be at the time and in the manner set forth in the Escrow
Agreement. In the event that the remaining Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such Loss in full, such Buyer Indemnitee may offset such Losses from any payment to Seller which Seller may become entitled pursuant to the terms of the Earn-Out Agreement. In the event that any amount of such Loss remains unsatisfied, such Buyer Indemnitee shall have direct recourse to Seller, in which case Seller shall pay in cash to such Buyer Indemnitee the
amount of such Loss which remains unsatisfied within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event that any amount of such Loss remains unsatisfied, such Buyer Indemnitee
shall have direct recourse to Seller’s Principals, on a several and not joint basis (with such several liability determined in accordance with each Seller’s Principals’ pro rata share of the Final Closing Consideration), in which case
Seller’s Principals shall pay in cash to such Buyer Indemnitee the amount of such Loss which remains unsatisfied within thirty (30) Business Days of such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties
hereto agree that should Seller and/or Seller’s Principals not make full payment of any such obligations within thirty (30) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the end of such thirty
(30) Business Day period and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed. 
 Section 7.05    Insurance. All Losses sought by
Indemnified Party hereunder shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by Indemnified Party with respect to such indemnification claim (net of any third party costs of recovery actually paid). If any such proceeds are received by an
Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying
Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment). 

Section 7.06    Right of Offset. Without limiting any other remedies available at law or in
equity, Buyer shall first set off against the Escrow Amount until such Escrow Amount is exhausted then against any payments due and owing from Buyer to Seller to the extent Buyer has suffered a Loss after a final determination has been made with
respect to a timely claim made by Buyer for indemnity against Seller under this Article VII. 

  
 31 













 Section 7.07    Remedies Exclusive. The
remedies provided in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party related to any and all Losses incurred because of or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Article VII shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner (a) any rights or remedies which any Indemnified Party has, or might have, at law or in equity based on fraud or
intentional and willful misrepresentation, or (b) any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled.
