Combination Agreement


 


This Combination Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is entered into as of September 16, 2019, by F5 Finishes, Inc. (“F5 Finishes”), Patton 2013 Living Trust, Michael
Patton and Lynn Anne Patton, Trustees, Baxley Family Trust, Daniel S. Baxley and Rochelle H. Baxley, Trustees, and C & C Preston
Family Trust, Cory G. Preston and Christine B. Preston, Trustees (each a “Shareholder”
and together the “Shareholders”), and D. S. Baxley, Inc. d/b/a DSB+, a California corporation (the “Company”).


 


Background:


 


A. F5 Finishes has entered into combination
agreements for, or intends to negotiate or is currently negotiating the terms of combination agreements for, the combination of
several companies (the “Combining Companies”) engaged in the business of selling, installing and maintaining
flooring for commercial enterprises (the “Business”), in exchange for cash and shares of F5 Finishes common
stock (the “Consideration”). The Company is one of the Combining Companies.


 


B. Concurrently with the closing of an underwritten
initial public offering (“IPO”) of F5 Finishes common stock (“F5 Finishes Stock”) and as
part of a single transaction that includes the IPO, the stockholders or other equity interest holders of each Combining Company
will transfer to F5 Finishes, in exchange for the Consideration, all of the stock of or other equity interests in the Combining
Companies. The Shareholders are the owners of all of the stock of the Company.


 


C. After the combination of the Combining
Companies, the Company will continue to operate under its own name in order to preserve the value of the Company’s goodwill.


 


D. The constitutive transactions with the
Combining Companies are intended to constitute tax-free transfers of property by the stockholders or other equity interest holders
of the Combining Companies under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”),
to the extent of the receipt by the stockholders or other equity interest holders of shares of F5 Finishes Stock.


 


E. The IPO and the combination of the Combining
Companies will be described in a registration statement on Form S-1 that F5 Finishes will file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
to be declared effective by the SEC prior to the commencement of sales of F5 Finishes Stock in the IPO (the “Registration
Statement”).


 


F. F5 Finishes expects to file the Registration
Statement with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the completion of an audit of the financial statements of the Company
and the other Combining Companies by Marcum LLP.


 




     


     


    

 


Now, therefore, in consideration of their
mutual promises and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:


 


Article 1

Definitions


 


Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement
are defined in Annex I.


 


Article 2

The Transaction


 


2.1 Consideration
for Shares of Company Stock


 


(a) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
at Closing:


 


(1) the Shareholders shall assign,
transfer, and deliver to F5 Finishes the certificate or certificates representing all of their respective shares of the Company’s
common stock and collectively representing all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, with each
certificate duly endorsed for transfer to F5 Finishes or accompanied by a duly executed assignment separate from certificate; and


 


(2) Subject to adjustment as
set forth in other provisions in this Article 2, the purchase price for the Company Stock (the “Purchase Price”
or “Final Purchase Price”) shall equal five (5) times the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for 2018, based upon
the Company’s EBITDA as set forth in the audited financial statements of the Company (the “Base Consideration”),
plus $771,727 (the “Retained Earnings Distribution”), plus the amount described as the Loan Repayment Amount
in Section 2.1(a)(4) (the “Loan Repayment Distribution”) (which shall be paid to affiliates of the Shareholders),
each, payable in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(4). The parties acknowledge Marcum, LLP is in the process of performing its audit
of the Company’s financial statements and that as of the date of this Agreement, 2018 Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is
estimated in good faith to be $2,092,046, for an estimated Base Consideration of $10,460,235. The Base Consideration will be finalized
prior to Closing upon completion of the audit of the Company by Marcum, LLP. The Base Consideration shall be reduced by the Final
Working Capital Deficiency, if any, or increased by the Final Working Capital Surplus, if any.


 


(3) Twenty-five percent (25%)
of the Base Consideration shall be paid in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and seventy-five percent (75%) of
the Base Consideration shall consist of F5 Finishes Stock (the “Equity Consideration”). F5 Finishes shall pay
each Shareholder’s Percentage Interest of the Cash Consideration (as adjusted) at Closing (other than any post-Closing adjustments
which will be payable as described in Section 2.3), and shall provide each Shareholder’s Percentage Interest of the Equity
Consideration at Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after Closing.


 


(i) The Cash Consideration shall
be adjusted in accordance with Sections 2.1(a)(4), 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and


 


(ii) With respect to the Equity
Consideration, Shareholder shall receive that number of shares of F5 Finishes Stock equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Base Consideration divided by the per share price that the F5 Finishes Stock would be if the IPO Share Price of the F5 Finishes
Stock were to reflect that the valuation of the Company (the “IPO Valuation”) equals the Base Consideration
(the “Baseline IPO Share Price”). In the event that the actual per share price of the F5 Finishes Stock is less
than ninety percent (90%) of the Baseline IPO Share Price, in addition to that number of shares of the F5 Finishes Stock described
in the previous sentence, Shareholder shall receive a convertible, subordinated promissory note substantially in the form as set
forth in Exhibit A (each an “IPO Note”) with the principal amount equal to the Price Differential
multiplied by the number of shares Shareholder is entitled to as Equity Consideration. “Price Differential”
shall mean the difference between (i) ninety percent (90%) of the Baseline IPO Share Price and (ii) the actual IPO Share Price
of the F5 Finishes Stock.


 




    2


     


    

 


(4) (i) At Closing, F5 Finishes
shall pay to each Shareholder in cash, his, her or its Percentage Interest of fifty percent (50%) of the Retained Earnings Distribution.
Within three Business Days after Closing, F5 Finishes shall deliver to each Shareholder a subordinated promissory note, substantially
in the form as set forth as Exhibit B (the “RE Notes”), payable to such Shareholder in the principal
amount of fifty percent (50%) of such Shareholder’s Percentage Interest of the Retained Earnings Distribution.


 


(ii) As of June 30, 2019, the
Company owed affiliates of its Shareholders (each a “Lender”) $1,965,000.00 (the “Principal Amount”)
for certain loans previously made by the Lenders to the Company, with interest accruing annually at the rate of 12.3%, which has
been paid to the Lenders each month. The Principal Amount owed to each Lender is set forth on Schedule 2.1(a)(4). The “Loan
Distribution Amount” for each Lender payable at Closing shall equal each Lender’s Principal Amount: F5 Finishes
shall pay to each Lender in cash fifty percent (50%) of his, her or its Loan Distribution Amount. Within three Business Days after
Closing, F5 Finishes shall deliver to each Lender a subordinated promissory note, substantially in the form as set forth as Exhibit DSB
(the “Loan Distribution Notes”) , payable to such Lender in the principal amount of fifty percent (50%)
of such Lender’s Loan Distribution Amount.


 


(iii) The Shareholders shall
be entitled to the payment of any Closing Date Working Capital Surplus or any Final Working Capital Surplus if and only to the
extent that such Closing Date Working Capital Surplus or Final Working Capital Surplus exceeds the aggregate amount of the Retained
Earnings Distribution and the Loan Repayment Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced
by the amount of the Closing Date Working Capital Deficit or the Final Working Capital Deficit, if any.


 


(b) The number of shares of the Company’s
capital stock that each Shareholder owns and will deliver to F5 Finishes, and are shown on Schedule 2.1(b). The Parties
will agree within three (3) Business Days prior to Closing as to the amount of the Cash Consideration, the number of shares of
F5 Finishes Stock and the principal amount of the IPO Note, if any, that each Shareholder will receive at Closing.


 


2.2 Company
Indebtedness


 


At or
prior to Closing, the Parties shall agree on the aggregate outstanding Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date (excluding
Indebtedness taken into account in the determination of Working Capital) (“Closing Date Indebtedness”), and
the cash component of the Consideration payable at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Company’s Closing Date Indebtedness.
This reduction shall be allocated among the Shareholders according to their Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
F5 Finishes agrees that it will assume, and will not pay off at Closing, Closing Date Indebtedness relating to (i) bank lines of
credit (provided that the F5 Finishes may pay off the bank lines of credit at Closing, but the Purchase Price shall not be reduced
as a result of any such payoff), (ii) capital leases for Vehicles and Equipment used in the Business, and (iii) purchase agreements
relating to Vehicles or Equipment used in the Business. Prior to the Closing, the Company agrees to distribute to one or more Shareholders
any Vehicles used by such Shareholders personally, and such Shareholders shall assume all debt obligations relating to such Vehicles.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing Date Indebtedness relating to the Loan Repayment Distribution shall be paid in accordance
with Section 2.1(a)(4).


 




    3


     


    

 


2.3 Closing Date Working Capital and Payment
of Final Purchase Price


 


(a)
As used in this Agreement, the following terms have these meanings:


 


Closing

the Company’s current trade payables, and other current Liabilities determined as of the Closing Date immediately prior to
the Closing without regard to any allowances for doubtful accounts and otherwise in accordance with GAAP. The line items to be
used in the determination of Closing Date Working Capital (and the Company’s account numbers for these line items) are shown
on the attached Schedule 2.3(a). It is an F5 Finishes closing condition that the Company has cash as of Closing of
$500,000, as provided in Section 8.1.


 


Closing

by the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement.


 


Estimated
Closing Date Working Capital Statement means Shareholders’ statement showing Shareholder’ good faith estimate in
reasonable detail of Shareholders’ calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital.


 


Estimated

Capital.


 


Estimated
Working Capital Surplus means the extent to which the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital.


 


Final
Closing Date Working Capital means the Company’s Closing Date Working Capital as disclosed by the Final Closing Date
Working Capital Statement.

Capital.


 


Final
Working Capital Surplus means the extent to which the Final Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital.


 


Target Working Capital
means $2,783,980.


 


(b) Shareholders shall deliver Shareholders’

    4


     


    

 


(c)
As promptly as practical but no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, F5 Finishes shall deliver
its Closing Date Working Capital Statement to Shareholders. This Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall provide reasonable
detail and show all calculations used in its preparation. For purposes of this Closing Date Working Capital Statement, the Company’s
Closing Date Working Capital shall not include any Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date that remain uncollected as of the
end of the period covered by the Closing Date Working Capital Statement, and such uncollected Accounts Receivable shall become
the property of Shareholders (“Shareholder-Owned Accounts Receivable”). F5 Finishes shall cause the Company
to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Company’s historical practice to collect all the Accounts Receivable.



 


(d)
If Shareholders accept F5 Finishes’ Closing Date Working Capital Statement, or if Shareholders fail to give Notice to F5
Finishes of an objection to its Closing Date Working Capital Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of a copy, F5 Finishes’
Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall become final. Any Notice of objection to F5 Finishes’ Closing Date Working Capital
Statement shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the F5 Finishes’ Closing Date Working Capital Statement that Shareholders
dispute and the basis of their objection.


 


(e)
If Shareholders give Notice of an objection to F5 Finishes’ Closing Date Working Capital Statement within thirty (30) days
after receipt of a copy, F5 Finishes and Shareholders shall attempt in good faith to resolve their differences. In this regard,
F5 Finishes shall make copies of its work papers and other relevant records and information available to Shareholders and their
accounting representatives. If F5 Finishes and Shareholders are able to resolve all of their differences, F5 Finishes’ Closing
Date Working Capital Statement, as modified to reflect the Parties’ resolution of their differences, shall become final.


 


(f)
If F5 Finishes and Shareholders are unable to resolve all of their differences within thirty (30) days after F5 Finishes makes
copies available of its work papers and other relevant records and information in response to Shareholder’ Notice to F5 Finishes
of an objection to F5 Finishes’ Closing Date Working Capital Statement, F5 Finishes and Shareholders shall submit any remaining
disputed items to a mutually acceptable accounting firm for a determination of the correct treatment of the disputed items. The
accounting firm’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on F5 Finishes and Shareholders, and F5 Finishes’ Closing
Date Working Capital Statement, as modified to reflect (i) those differences, if any, that F5 Finishes and Shareholders were
able to resolve and (ii) the determination of the accounting firm regarding the disputed items, shall become final. F5 Finishes
and Shareholders shall pay a percentage of the accounting firm’s fees and expenses based on the dollar value of the disputed
items found in the other Party’s favor as a percentage of the total dollar value of the disputed items.


 


(g)
Subject to the treatment of the Closing Date Working Capital Surplus and the Final Working Capital Surplus described in Section
2.1(a)(4), no later than five (5) Business Days after the Final Working Capital Statement is determined, the Parties shall
reconcile payments in respect of the Company’s Working Capital: (i) if the Working Capital shown on the Final Working Capital
Statement exceeds the Working Capital shown on the Estimated Working Capital Statement, F5 Finishes shall pay an amount equal to
the excess to the Shareholders by a wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (ii) if the Working Capital shown on the
Final Working Capital Statement is less than the Working Capital shown on the Estimated Working Capital Statement, the Shareholders
shall pay an amount equal to the shortfall to F5 Finishes by a wire transfer of immediately available funds. Payments to or from
the Shareholders shall be allocated among them according to their Percentage Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, (y) no payment
shall be made if the amount of the Final Working Capital Surplus is less than the Retained Earnings Distribution and the Loan Repayment
Distribution combined. 


 




    5


     


    

 


2.4
Accounts Receivable


 


(a) Following Closing, F5 Finishes shall
cause the Company to use reasonable efforts consistent with its historical practice to collect its Accounts Receivable as of the
Closing Date (the Company’s “Closing Date Accounts Receivable”), but the Company shall not be required
to resort to litigation or referral to a collection agency. F5 Finishes shall cause the Company not to consent to or accept any
reduction, discount or settlement of any Closing Date Account Receivable without the Shareholders’ prior written approval.


 


(b) With respect to Shareholder-Owned Accounts
Receivable, Shareholders shall use reasonable efforts consistent with Company’s historical practice to collect such Shareholder-Owned
Accounts Receivable, but shall not institute collection litigation without consulting with F5 Finishes.


 


(c) The Company shall turn over to the Shareholders
at regular weekly intervals any collections of Shareholder-Owned Accounts Receivable. Payments on Accounts Receivable received
after the Closing Date shall be applied first as may be reasonably determined based on reference to an invoice, reference to an
order or based on the amount paid, and otherwise shall be applied to the applicable Accounts Receivable with the oldest due dates.

The Parties acknowledge that because of the
logistics involved with receiving the proceeds from the IPO after pricing, there will be a delay of three (3) to five (5) Business

of the Purchase Price. The Parties agree that all Closing Documents will be dated as of the Effective Date (i.e., the date that
the IPO is priced), and that such Closing Documents, along with the F5 Finishes Stock comprising part of the Purchase Price, and
the Shares being sold to F5 Finishes will be deemed delivered in escrow, and all closing conditions shall be deemed to have been
met, with the sole exception of the payment of the cash portion of the Purchase Price to Shareholders and shareholders of the other
Combining Companies, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Once payment of the cash portion of the Purchase
Price to be delivered at Closing is received by the Shareholders, the Closing documents, F5 Finishes Stock and the Shares shall
be deemed to have been delivered and the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred as of the Effective Date. In the event that the
cash portion of the Purchase Price payable at Closing is not delivered to the Shareholders within five (5) business days after
the Effective Date, the Shareholders may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(b)(1) without regard to
the cure period therein.

    33


     


    

  


10.6 Resolution
of Claims


 


(a) If the Indemnifying Party does not object
to an Indemnification Claim during the 30-day period following receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of its Indemnification
Claim, the Indemnified Party’s Indemnification Claim shall be considered undisputed, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
to recover the actual amount of its Indemnifiable Loss from the Indemnifying Party, subject, in the case of an Indemnification
Claim by F5 Finishes, to the threshold, if any, in Section 10.3(a).


 


(b) If the Indemnifying Party gives written
Notice to the Indemnified Party within the 30-day objection period that the Indemnifying Party objects to the Indemnified Party’s
Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve their differences
during the 30-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Indemnifying Party’s Notice of its objection.

Claim for binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Santa Clara County, California in accordance with
its rules for commercial arbitration in effect at the time. The award of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators may include attorneys’
fees to the prevailing party. The prevailing Party may enforce the award of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators in any court
of competent jurisdiction.


 


10.7 Third
Party Suits


 


(a) F5 Finishes shall promptly give written
Notice to the Shareholders of any Third Party Suit, which may be given by written Notice of an Indemnification Claim in respect
of the Third Party Suit. F5 Finishes’ failure or delay in giving this Notice shall not relieve the Shareholders from their
indemnification obligation under this Article 10 in respect of the Third Party Suit, except to the extent that the Shareholders
suffer or incur a loss or are prejudiced by reason of F5 Finishes’ failure or delay.


 


(b) F5 Finishes shall control the defense
of any Third Party Suit. The Shareholders shall be entitled to copies of all pleadings and, at their expense, may participate in,
but not control, the defense and employ their own counsel. The Shareholders shall in any event reasonably cooperate in the defense
of the Third Party Suit.


 


(c) F5 Finishes’ settlement of a Third
Party Suit shall also be binding on the Shareholders, in the same manner as if a final judgment in the amount of the settlement
had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, if, as part of the settlement, the Shareholders receive a binding release
providing that any liability of the Shareholders in respect of the Third Party Suit is being satisfied as part of the settlement.
F5 Finishes shall give the Shareholders at least thirty (30) days’ prior written Notice of any proposed settlement, and during
this 30-day period the Shareholders may reject the proposed settlement and instead assume the defense of the Third Party Suit if:


 


(1) the Third Party Suit seeks
only money damages and does not seek injunctive or other equitable relief against F5 Finishes or the Company;


 


(2) the Shareholders unconditionally
acknowledge in writing to F5 Finishes that the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify F5 Finishes in full in respect of the Third
Party Suit (except for any matters that are not subject to indemnification under this Agreement);


 


(3) the counsel chosen by the
Shareholders to defend the Third Party Suit is reasonably satisfactory to F5 Finishes;


 


(4) the Shareholders furnish
F5 Finishes with security reasonably satisfactory to F5 Finishes to assure that the Shareholders have the financial resources to
defend the Third Party Suit and to satisfy their indemnification obligation in respect of the Third Party Suit;


 




    34


     


    

 


(5) the Shareholders actively
and diligently defend the Third Party Suit; and


 


(6) the Shareholders consult
with F5 Finishes regarding the Third Party Suit at F5 Finishes’ reasonable request.


 


If the Shareholders assume the defense of
the Third Party Suit, F5 Finishes shall be entitled to copies of all pleadings and, at its expense, may participate in, but not
control, the defense and employ its own counsel.


 


(d) The Shareholders may settle a Third Party
Suit in which, pursuant to Section 10.7(c), the Shareholders control the defense only if the following conditions are satisfied:


 


(1) the terms of settlement do
not require any admission by the Shareholders, the Company or F5 Finishes, in respect of any matters subject to indemnification
under this Article 10, that in F5 Finishes’ reasonable judgment would have an adverse effect on the Company or F5
Finishes; and


 


(2) as part of the settlement,
F5 Finishes receives a binding release providing that any liability of F5 Finishes in respect of the Third Party Suit is being
satisfied as part of the settlement.


 


(e) F5 Finishes’ failure to defend
a Third Party Suit shall not relieve the Shareholders of their indemnification obligation under this Article 10 if F5 Finishes
gives the Shareholders at least thirty (30) days’ prior written Notice of F5 Finishes’ intention not to defend the
Third Party Suit and affords the Shareholders the opportunity to assume the defense without having to satisfy the conditions in
Section 10.7(c) for assuming the defense.


 


10.8 Remedies


 


If Closing occurs, each Party’s sole
and exclusive remedy for all claims and causes of action against the other Party, including those relating to any inaccuracy in
or breach of any representation and warranty in this Agreement, shall be indemnification as provided in and limited by this Article
10. The provisions of this Section 10.8 shall not apply, however, (i) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation
on the part of the Shareholders or F5 Finishes, or (ii) to the enforcement of any of the agreements described in Section 2.5.


 


10.9 Specific
Performance


 


The Parties agree that irreparable damage
would occur in the event that, prior to Closing, any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their
terms or are otherwise breached. The Parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity,
prior to Closing the Parties shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction,
without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or security, to prevent a breach of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the provisions of this Agreement.
