Section 2.02      
Total Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares (the “Total Purchase Price”) shall
be $9,000,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, plus the Contingent

Contingent Payments. Amounts due and owing by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), if any, shall be
the “Contingent Payments” and individually a “Contingent Payment.” The Contingent Payments shall be calculated
as follows:


 


(i)                $500,000
if the agreement described in item (a)(i) of Section 2.02 of the Disclosure Schedule is signed by the Company and the identified
counterparty (on the terms set forth on such schedule) on or before May 31, 2018;


 


(ii)

and the identified counterparty (on the terms set forth on such schedule) on or before July 31, 2018;


 


(iii)           
if the agreement described in item (a)(i) of Section 2.02 of the Disclosure Schedule is signed by the Company and the identified
counterparty (on the terms set forth on such schedule) after May 31, 2018, an amount equal to $500,000 reduced by $100,000 on the

(iv)            if
the agreement described in item (a)(ii) of Section 2.02 of the Disclosure Schedule is signed by the Company and the identified
counterparty (on the terms set forth on such schedule) after July 31, 2018, an amount equal to $500,000 reduced by $100,000 on

balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein,
except as specifically contemplated hereby), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working
Capital Statement”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Seller that the Estimated Closing Working Capital
Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP to apply the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures,
with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the
Closing Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was being
prepared as of a fiscal year end.


 






    14


    


    

 


(b)              
Post-Closing Adjustment.


 


(i)                Within
90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its calculation of
Closing Working Capital prepared in accordance with the Working Capital Schedule, which statement shall contain an unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein,
except as specifically contemplated hereby) (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer of Buyer that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP to apply the same accounting
methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation
methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Closing Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if
such Closing Working Capital Statement was being prepared as of a fiscal year end.


 


(ii)             
The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working
Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment amount is a positive number, such amount will

Examination and Review.


 


(i)

Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and Seller’s Accountants
shall have full access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer
and/or Buyer’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical
financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may
reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections
(defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of
Buyer or the Acquired Companies.


 






    15


    


    

 


(ii)             
Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement
by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed
item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails
to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the
Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted
by Seller, unless such failure results from Buyer’s failure to provide reasonable cooperation to Seller in its review of
the information underlying the Closing Working Capital Statement. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration
of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 calendar days after the
delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”) and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution
Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been agreed in writing
by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding and the Working Capital Statement shall be deemed accepted as of the date of such
resolution.


 


(iii)           
Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth
in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed
Amounts” with any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to EisnerAmper
LLP or, if EisnerAmper LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement an impartial nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants (the “Independent
Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments
to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all
adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under
dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item
in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.


 


(iv)            Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller,
on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded
to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.


 


(v)           
Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable
within 30 calendar days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution
of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall
be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.


 


(d)              
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment
shall (A) be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there
are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in Section 2.04(c)(v) above; and (B) be paid by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. Any payment
of the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Seller to Buyer shall be paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement
from the Purchase Price Escrow Fund and to the extent the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the amount available
to Buyer in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, from the Indemnification Escrow Fund.


 






    16


    


    

 


(e)              
Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the
Total Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.


 


Section 2.05      
Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated
hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, no later than two Business
Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VII have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions
which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), at the offices of Graubard Miller, 405 Lexington Avenue 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10174, or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as Seller and Buyer may mutually
agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”).


 


Section 2.06      
Withholding Tax. Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Total Purchase
Price all Taxes that Buyer and the Acquired Companies may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All
such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

to any other Person any right to the possession, lease, occupancy or enjoyment of any leased Real Property. The use and operation
of the Real Property in the conduct of an Acquired Company’s business do not violate in any material respect any Law, covenant,
condition, restriction, easement, license, permit or agreement.

conduct of the Acquired Companies’ businesses after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the

All of the Acquired Company Intellectual Property is valid and enforceable, and all Acquired Company IP Registrations are subsisting
and in full force and effect. The Companies have taken all reasonable and necessary steps to maintain and enforce the Acquired
Company Intellectual Property and to preserve the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets included in the Acquired Company Intellectual
Property.


 


(b)              
Except for off-the-shelf computer software used in the Acquired Companies’ ordinary course of business, the Acquired
Companies do not use Intellectual Property that is owned by or is licensed from any third party.


 






    24


    


    

 


(c)              
The conduct of each Acquired Company’s business as currently and formerly conducted, and the products, processes and

violation by an Acquired Company of the Intellectual Property of any Person; (ii) challenging the validity, enforceability, registrability,
patentability, or ownership of any Acquired Company Intellectual Property; or (iii) by an Acquired Company or any other Person
alleging any infringement, misappropriation, or violation by any Person of the Acquired Company Intellectual Property. Neither
Seller nor an Acquired Company is aware of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such
Action. The Acquired Companies are not subject to any outstanding or prospective Governmental Order (including any motion or petition
therefor) that does or could reasonably be expected to restrict or impair the use of any Acquired Company Intellectual Property.


 


(e)              
The computer hardware, servers, networks, platforms, peripherals, data communication lines, and other information technology
equipment and related systems, including any outsourced systems and processes, that are owned or used by the Acquired Companies
(“Acquired Company Systems”) are reasonably sufficient for the immediate and anticipated needs of the Acquired Companies’
businesses. To the Knowledge of Seller, in the past 18 months, there has been no unauthorized access, use, intrusion, or breach
of security, or material failure, breakdown, performance reduction, or other adverse event affecting any Acquired Company Systems,
that has caused or could reasonably be expected to cause any: (i) substantial disruption of or interruption in or to the use of
such Acquired Company Systems or the conduct of the Acquired Companies’ business; (ii) material loss, destruction, damage,
or harm of or to an Acquired Company or its operations, personnel, property, or other assets; or (iii) material liability of any
kind to an Acquired Company. The Acquired Companies have taken reasonable actions, consistent those taken with companies in the
applicable industry similar in size to the Acquired Companies, to protect the integrity and security of the Acquired Company Systems
and the data and other information stored or processed thereon. The Acquired Companies (i) maintain commercially reasonable backup
and data recovery, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans, procedures, and facilities; (ii) act in material compliance
therewith; and (iii) tests such plans and procedures on a regular basis, and such plans and procedures have been proven effective
in all material respects upon such testing.

a quality and quantity usable and salable in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, except for obsolete,
damaged, defective or slow-moving items that have been written off or written down to fair market value or for which adequate reserves
have been established. All such inventory is owned by an Acquired Company free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted
Encumbrances and those set forth in Section 3.03 of the Disclosure Schedule, and inventory held on a consignment basis is not included
in the Balance Sheet. The quantities of each item of inventory (whether raw materials, work-in-process or finished goods) are not
excessive, but are reasonable in the present circumstances of an Acquired Company.


 






    25


    


    

 


Section 3.13      
Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable reflected on the Balance Sheet and the accounts receivable arising
after the date thereof (a) have arisen from bona fide transactions entered into by an Acquired Company involving the sale of goods
or the rendering of services in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (b) constitute only valid, undisputed
claims of an Acquired Company not subject to claims of set-off or other defenses or counterclaims other than normal cash discounts,
or provision of replacement goods accrued in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; and (c) subject to
a reserve for bad debts shown on the Balance Sheet or, with respect to accounts receivable arising after the Balance Sheet Date,
on the accounting records of Acquired Companies, are collectible in full within 90 calendar days after billing. The reserve for
bad debts shown on the Balance Sheet or, with respect to accounts receivable arising after the Balance Sheet Date, on the accounting

adjustments and the absence of disclosures normally made in footnotes.

during such periods. Neither Acquired Company has received any notice, and has no reason to believe, that any of its Material Customers
has ceased, or intends to cease after the Closing, to use its goods or services or to otherwise terminate or materially reduce
its relationship with the Acquired Company.


 


(b)              
Section 3.14(b) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth (i) each supplier to whom an Acquired Company has paid consideration
for goods or services rendered in an amount greater than or equal to $100,000 for each of the two most recent fiscal years (collectively,
the “Material Suppliers”); and (ii) the amount of purchases from each Material Supplier during such periods. Neither

and directors of the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “Insurance Policies”) and true and complete copies of such
Insurance Policies have been made available to Buyer. Such Insurance Policies are in full force and effect and shall remain in
full force and effect following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the Acquired
Companies and their assets will no longer be covered by such policies. Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including
the Acquired Companies) has received any written notice of cancellation of, premium increase with respect to, or alteration of
coverage under, any of such Insurance Policies. All premiums due on such Insurance Policies have either been paid or, if due and
payable prior to Closing, will be paid prior to Closing in accordance with the payment terms of each Insurance Policy. The Insurance
Policies do not provide for any retrospective premium adjustment or other experience-based liability on the part of the Acquired
Companies. All such Insurance Policies (a) are valid and binding in accordance with their terms and (b) have not been subject to
any lapse in coverage. Except as set forth on Section 3.15 of the Disclosure Schedules, there are no claims related to the businesses
of Acquired Companies pending under any such Insurance Policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed or
in respect of which there is an outstanding reservation of rights. None of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired
Companies) is in default under, or has otherwise failed to comply with, in any material respect, any provision contained in any
such Insurance Policy. The Insurance Policies are of the type and in the amounts customarily carried by Persons conducting a business
similar to the Acquired Companies and are sufficient for compliance with all applicable Laws and Contracts to which an Acquired
Company is a party or by which it is bound. Seller has made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof a listing of all pending
claims under the Insurance Policies (to the extent relating to the Acquired Companies) as of the date of this Agreement.

Each Benefit Plan and any related trust (other than any multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA
(each a “Multiemployer Plan”)) has been established, administered and maintained in accordance with its terms and in
compliance with all applicable Laws (including ERISA and the Code and any applicable local Laws). Each Benefit Plan that is intended
to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (a “Qualified Benefit Plan”) is so qualified and received
a favorable and current determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the most recent five year filing
cycle, or with respect to a prototype or volume submitter plan, can rely on an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service
to the prototype plan or volume submitter plan sponsor, to the effect that such Qualified Benefit Plan is so qualified and that
the plan and the trust related thereto are exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of
the Code, and nothing has occurred that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any Qualified
Benefit Plan. Nothing has occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan that has subjected or could reasonably be expected to subject
an Acquired Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates or, with respect to any period on or after the Closing Date, Buyer or any of
its Affiliates, to a penalty under Section 502 of ERISA or to tax or penalty under Sections 4975 or 4980H of the Code.

Employer Plan”) in which employees of an Acquired Company or any ERISA Affiliate participate or have participated has an
“accumulated funding deficiency”, whether or not waived, or is subject to a lien for unpaid contributions under Section
303(k) of ERISA or Section 430(k) of the Code. No Single Employer Plan covering employees of an Acquired Company which is a defined
benefit plan has an “adjusted funding target attainment percentage,” as defined in Section 436 of the Code, less than
80%. All benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Benefit Plan have been timely paid in accordance with the terms
of such Benefit Plan and all applicable Laws and accounting principles, and all benefits accrued under any unfunded Benefit Plan
have been paid, accrued or otherwise adequately reserved to the extent required by, and in accordance with, GAAP. All Non-U.S.
Benefit Plans that are intended to be funded and/or book-reserved are funded and/or book-reserved, as appropriate, based upon reasonable
actuarial assumptions.


 


(d)              
Neither an Acquired Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has (i) incurred or reasonably expects to incur, either directly
or indirectly, any material Liability under Title I or Title IV of ERISA or related provisions of the Code or applicable local
Law relating to employee benefit plans; (ii) failed to timely pay premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; (iii) withdrawn
from any Benefit Plan; (iv) engaged in any transaction which would give rise to liability under Section 4069 or Section 4212(c)
of ERISA; (v) incurred taxes under Section 4971 of the Code with respect to any Single Employer Plan; or (vi) participated in a
multiple employer welfare arrangements (MEWAs).


 


(e)              
With respect to each Benefit Plan (i) no such plan is a Multiemployer Plan; (ii) no such plan is a “multiple employer
plan” within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code or a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined
in Section 3(40) of ERISA); (iii) no Action has been initiated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any such
plan or to appoint a trustee for any such plan; (iv) no such plan or the plan of any ERISA Affiliate maintained or contributed
to within the last six years is a Single Employer Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA; and (v) no “reportable event,”
as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, with respect to which the reporting requirement has not been waiver has occurred with respect
to any such plan.

to any employee, officer, director, independent contractor or consultant, whether or not legally binding, to adopt, amend, modify
or terminate any Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or otherwise.


 


(g)

to any individual that such individual would be provided with post-termination or retiree health benefits.


 


(h)              
There is no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened Action relating to a Benefit Plan (other than routine claims
for benefits), and no Benefit Plan has within the three years prior to the date hereof been the subject of an examination or audit
by a Governmental Authority or the subject of an application or filing under or is a participant in, an amnesty, voluntary compliance,

in employee participation or coverage under, any Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement that would increase the annual
expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred for the most recently completed fiscal year (other than
on a de minimis basis) with respect to any director, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant, as applicable, of
an Acquired Company. None of Seller, an Acquired Company, nor any of their Affiliates has any commitment or obligation or has made
any representations to any director, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant, whether or not legally binding, to
adopt, amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement relating to an Acquired Company.

Each Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been administered in compliance with its terms and the
operational and documentary requirements of Section 409A of the Code and all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices,
rulings and proposed and final regulations) thereunder. An Acquired Company does not have any obligation to gross up, indemnify
or otherwise reimburse any individual for any excise taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes
hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any of
its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination
transaction involving an Acquired Company; (ii) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities
of an Acquired Company; or (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of an Acquired Company’s
properties or assets.


 


(b)              
In addition to the other obligations under this Section 5.03, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three Business
Days after receipt thereof by Seller or its Representatives) advise Buyer orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any
request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected
to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the
identity of the Person making the same.


 


(c)              
Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.03 shall include having such provision
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened
breach shall cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer.

Section 5.04      
Notice of Certain Events.


 


(a)              
From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of:


 


(i)              
 any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected
to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could
reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 to be satisfied;


 


(ii)             
any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;


 


(iii)           
any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; and


 


(iv)           
any Actions commenced or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting
Seller or an Acquired Company that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant
to Section 3.16 or that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(b)              
Buyer’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any
representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement (including Section 8.02 and Section 9.01(b)) and
shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules.


 


Section 5.05      
Resignations. Seller shall deliver to Buyer written resignations, effective as of the Closing Date, of the officers
and directors of the Acquired Companies.


 


Section 5.06      
Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information,
whether written or oral, concerning an Acquired Company, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (a) is
generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives;
or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from
sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or
any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative
process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of
such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that, at Buyer’s
expense, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded such information.


 






    41


    


    

 


Section 5.07      
Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.


 


(a)              
For a period of five years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall
not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business
in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory
in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally
interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement)
between an Acquired Company and customers or suppliers of an Acquired Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly
or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a
controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent
or more of any class of securities of such Person. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and its Affiliates engage in business with Northrop
Grumman Corporation, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and GKN Aerospace and that contracts between such Persons and Seller and/or
its Affiliates may provide for ancillary work which may be characterized as Restricted Business. Buyer agrees that so long as such
work is not performed by Seller or its Affiliates (i.e., is contracted to Persons other than Seller or its Affiliates), such activity
shall not be a breach of Section 5.07(a)(i).


 


(b)              
During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire
or solicit any employee of an Acquired Company or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee
who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees;
provided, that nothing in this Section 5.07(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose
employment has been terminated by an Acquired Company or Buyer or (ii) after 180 calendar days from the date of termination of
employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.


 


(c)              
During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit
or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of an Acquired Company or potential clients or customers of
an Acquired Company for purposes of diverting their business or services from an Acquired Company.


 


(d)              
Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.07 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer,
for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach
by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it
in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance
and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).


 






    42


    


    

 


(e)              
Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.07 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.07 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time,
geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly
empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic,
product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.07 and each provision
hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision
as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section 5.08      
Governmental Approvals and Consents.


 


(a)              
Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions required under
any Law applicable to such party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained
(without the obligation to pay any money to obtain or cause to be obtained), all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals
from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance
of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party
and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall
not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents,
authorizations, orders and approvals.


 


(b)              
Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to give all notices to, and obtain (without the obligation to pay any money to
obtain or cause to be obtained) all consents from, all third parties under all Contracts of the Acquired Companies which require
such notice or consent. Buyer shall cooperate with and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller with obtaining such
consents prior to April 30, 2018.


 


(c)              
Without limiting the generality of the parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above, each of the
parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts (without the obligation to pay any money) to:


 


(i)               respond
to any inquiries by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary
Document;


 


(ii)             
avoid the imposition of any order or the taking of any action that would restrain, alter or enjoin the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document; and


 






    43


    


    

 


(iii)           
in the event any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document has been issued, to have such Governmental Order vacated or lifted.


 


(d)              
If any consent, approval or authorization necessary to preserve any right or benefit under any Contract to which an Acquired
Company is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with Buyer and the
Acquired Company in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such
consent, approval or authorization cannot be obtained, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Acquired
Company with the rights and benefits of the affected Contract for the term thereof, and, if Seller provides such rights and benefits,
the Acquired Company shall assume all obligations and burdens thereunder.


 


(e)              
All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made
by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between
Seller or an Acquired Company with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted
by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any
filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider
in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations,
memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting,
discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with
such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion,
appearance or contact.


 


(f)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.08 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer or any of its
Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or
interests of Buyer, an Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions
in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


 


Section 5.09      
Closing Financial Statements. Buyer will cause Buyer’s Accountants to prepare and deliver to Buyer (with
a copy to Seller) consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Companies consisting of the balance sheet of the Acquired Companies
as at December 31, 2017 and the related statements of income and cash flow for the year then ended (the “Closing Financial
Statements”). Seller and Buyer shall share equally the cost and expense of Buyer’s Accountants in connection with the
preparation of the Closing Financial Statements. Seller’s portion of such fees and expenses (“Seller’s Fees”)
will be paid by Seller at Closing.


 






    44


    


    

 


Section 5.10      
Inventory Adjustment. In connection with its preparation of the Closing Financial Statements, Buyer’s Accountant
will conduct a physical inventory observation of and will perform an analysis of inventory pricing on the Acquired Companies’
raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventory (the “Inventory Analysis”). If and to the extent that the
Inventory Analysis indicates that inventory pricing is not fairly stated in accordance with the principles of GAAP chosen to be
applied by Buyer’s Accountant, Buyer’s Accountant will provide to Buyer (and copy Seller) with a proposed aggregate
adjustment to inventory pricing (the “Pricing Adjustment”) which would fairly state inventory pricing in accordance
with GAAP using the principles selected by Buyer’s Accountant (ex., to account for and reflect overvalued, unusable, unsalable,
obsolete, damaged, defective or slow-moving items). At Buyers request, Seller will cause the Acquired Companies to reduce inventory
pricing on the Acquired Company’s financial records in an amount equal to the Pricing Adjustment prior to Buyer’s Accountant’s
delivery of the Closing Financial Statements so that such reduction is reflected in the Closing Financial Statements. The amount
of such inventory pricing reduction is referred to as the “Inventory Adjustment Amount.”


 


Section 5.11      
Intercompany Accounts. At or prior to the Closing, all intercompany accounts, between Seller or its Affiliates
(other than the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and an Acquired Company, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise
eliminated, and as of and following the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall not have any further Liability with respect to such
intercompany accounts; provided, that no such intercompany account shall be settled or otherwise eliminated, if doing so would
create or give rise to any Liability (other than a Liability for Taxes) to an Acquired Company as of or following the Closing,
unless such Liability is fully reflected as a payable in calculating Closing Working Capital or as Indebtedness and, following
the timely payment thereof, no Acquired Company will have any further Liability with respect to thereto. For the avoidance of doubt,
intercompany accounts between the Acquired Companies shall not be affected by this provision.


 


Section 5.12      
Termination of Intercompany Arrangements. Effective at the Closing, other than any intercompany accounts governed
by Section 5.11, all arrangements, understandings or Contracts, including all obligations to provide goods, services or other benefits,
by Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Acquired Company on the other hand, shall be terminated without any party having
any continuing obligations or Liabilities to the other (and in a manner that does not result in any Liability (other than a Liability
for Taxes) to an Acquired Company as of or following the Closing, unless such Liability, (a) is owed solely by one Acquired Company
the other Acquired Company or (b) is fully reflected as a payable in calculating Closing Working Capital or as Indebtedness and,
following the timely payment of such payable, no Acquired Company will have any further Liability with respect thereto), except
for this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.


 


Section 5.13      
Termination of Indebtedness; Liens; Judgments. As of or prior to the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause the
Acquired Companies to (a) fully discharge all of the Acquired Companies’ Indebtedness and to obtain the release of all liens
in favor of the holders thereof, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer payoff letters evidencing the discharge
of such Indebtedness and release of such liens, as applicable and (c) cause the discharge or termination of all recorded liens,
judgments and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements with respect to the Acquired Companies, Decimal Industries Inc., Miller
Stuart Inc. and Woodbine Products, Inc. which have not lapsed.


 






    45


    


    

 


Section 5.14      
Payments. Seller shall promptly pay or deliver to the appropriate Acquired Company any monies or checks that
have been sent to Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing Date to the extent they are due to an Acquired Company, including
by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of an Acquired Company for goods or services provided by an Acquired Company.


 


Section 5.15      
Books and Records.


 


(a)              
 In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, or for any
other reasonable purpose, for a period of three years after the Closing, Buyer shall:


 


(i)                retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Acquired Companies relating to periods prior to the Closing
in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of the Acquired Companies; and


 


(ii)             
upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s
expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;


 


provided, however, that
any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in ARTICLE VI.


 


(b)              
In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by Buyer or the Acquired Companies after
the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of three years following the Closing, Seller shall:


 


(i)               retain
the books and records (including personnel files) of Seller which relate to the Acquired Companies and their operations for periods
prior to the Closing; and


 


(ii)            
upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Buyer or an Acquired Company reasonable access (including the right
to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;


 


provided, however, that
any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in ARTICLE VI.


 


(c)              
Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel
files) pursuant to this Section 5.11 where such access would violate any Law.


 


Section 5.16      
Financing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, and shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Representatives (including auditors) to, provide all cooperation that is necessary,
customary or advisable and reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer in the arrangement of financing in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 






    46


    


    

 


Section 5.17      
Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall, and Seller shall cause the
Acquired Companies to, use reasonable best efforts (without the obligation to pay any money) to take such actions as are necessary
to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII hereof.


 


Section 5.18      
Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or securities exchange requirements (based
upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other
party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents
of any such announcement including providing as much written notice and opportunity to review and comment to the other party as
is practical under the circumstances.


 


Section 5.19      
Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective
Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions
as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


ARTICLE
VI 


 


TAX
MATTERS


 


Section 6.01      
Tax Covenants.


 


(a)              
Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller (and, prior to the Closing, each Acquired Company, its Affiliates and
their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, an Acquired Company, make, change or rescind
any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter
into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or an
Acquired Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller agrees that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting
from any action prior to the Closing Date of Seller, an Acquired Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives,
and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies) against any such Tax or reduction
of any Tax asset.


 


(b)              
All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties
and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (including any real property transfer Tax
and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return
or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).


 






    47


    


    

 


(c)              
Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by an Acquired Company or Seller and/or
its Affiliates with respect to an Acquired Company after the Closing Date relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return
shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election
or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Seller to Buyer (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested
by Buyer, supporting documentation) at least 45 calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return.
If Buyer objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten calendar days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify
Seller in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis
for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith and use
their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement within ten calendar
days after receipt by Seller of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination
by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 20 calendar days
of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve
any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Seller and then amended
to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne
equally by Seller and Buyer. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of an Acquired Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing
Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer.


 


Section 6.02      
Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written
or not) binding upon an Acquired Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date none of the Acquired Companies,
Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.


 


Section 6.03      
Tax Indemnification. Except to the extent treated as a liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital,
Seller shall indemnify each of the Acquired Companies, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against
(a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.21; (b) any Loss attributable
to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in ARTICLE VI; (c)
all Taxes of an Acquired Company or relating to the business of an Acquired Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes
of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which an Acquired Company (or any predecessor of an
Acquired Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section
1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on an Acquired
Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring
before the Closing Date. In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’
and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of an Acquired Company
that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.03 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer
or an Acquired Company.


 






    48


    


    

 


Section 6.04      
Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and
ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated
as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:


 


(a)              
in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed
in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which
would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and


 


(b)              
in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator
of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of
calendar days in the entire period.


 


Section 6.05      
Section 338(h)(10) Election.


 


(a)              
At Buyer’s option, exercised at any time on or prior to September 30, 2018, Seller shall join with Buyer in making
a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with
respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares of the Company hereunder (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”).
Seller shall pay any Tax attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and Seller shall indemnify Buyer and the
Acquired Companies against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes.


 


(b)              
If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) cooperate
in the preparation of all forms, attachments and schedules necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including IRS
Forms 8023 and 8883 and any similar forms under applicable state and local income Tax Laws (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10)
Forms”) in a manner consistent with the Total Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and, if any, the Allocation. Seller and
Buyer shall (or shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) timely file such Section 338(h)(10) Forms with the applicable taxing
authorities. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, revoke the Section
338(h)(10) Elections following the filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms without the prior written consent of Buyer and Seller,
respectively.


 


(c)              
[Intentionally omitted]


 


(d)              
Total Purchase Price Allocation.


 


(i)              
If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, for Tax purposes, Seller and Buyer agree to (and agree to cause their respective
Affiliates to) allocate the Total Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for such Tax purposes among the
assets and shares deemed sold for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 6.05(d) of the Disclosure Schedule
(such schedule, the “Total Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).


 






    49


    


    

 


(ii)             
If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, no later than 60 calendar days after the Total Purchase Price is finally determined
hereunder (i.e., following adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.04 and payment of any Contingent Payment or expiration of the
period during which an event could occur that would give rise to a Contingent Payment), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a proposed
allocation of the Total Purchase Price and other relevant amounts as of the Closing Date, which allocation shall incorporate, reflect
and be consistent with the Total Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, and be determined in a manner consistent with Sections 338
and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Buyer’s Draft Allocation”). If
Seller disagrees with Buyer’s Draft Allocation, Seller may, within 30 calendar days after delivery of Buyer’s Draft
Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Allocation Notice”) to Buyer to such effect, specifying those items
as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation of the Total Purchase Price (and other relevant
amounts). If the Seller’s Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Seller and Buyer shall, during the 20 calendar days following
such delivery, negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation
of the Total Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts). If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, each of Seller
and Buyer may separately determine the allocation of the Total Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts); provided, that any
such allocation shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Total Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. The allocation
of the Total Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) as prepared by Buyer if no Seller’s Allocation Notice has been timely
delivered, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement reached by Seller and Buyer, if any (the “Allocation”), shall be conclusive
and binding on all parties. The Allocation, if any, shall be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any subsequent payments treated
as adjustment (if any) to the Total Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.04, ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VIII. Any such adjustment shall
be allocated, consistent with this Section 6.05(d), to the asset, assets, or shares (if any) to which such adjustment is attributable.


 


(iii)           
If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) (A) prepare and file
all Tax Returns (including the Section 338(h)(10) Forms), in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election, the Total
Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and, if any, the Allocation and (B) not take any position inconsistent therewith on any Tax
Return, in connection with any Tax Proceeding or otherwise, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state, local
or foreign Law).


 


Section 6.06      
Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by an Acquired Company
or Buyer which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be
sought by Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE VI (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall
not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent Seller’s ability to defend such claim is
compromised by such failure. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall
obtain the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any
settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Seller shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall
be borne solely by Seller.


 






    50


    


    

 


Section 6.07      
Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and
information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this ARTICLE VI or in connection
with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of an Acquired Company. 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. Each of Seller and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work
papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of an Acquired Company for any taxable period beginning
before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and
other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions
for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records
and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of an Acquired Company for any taxable period beginning before the
Closing Date, Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other
party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.


 


Section 6.08      
Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this ARTICLE VI shall be
treated as an adjustment to the Total Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.


 


Section 6.09      
Payments to Buyer. Any amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE VI shall be paid by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement from the Indemnification Escrow Fund and to the extent such amounts exceed the amount
available to Buyer in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, by Seller within 15 Business Days by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. Should a party not make full payment of any obligation arising under this Article VI within 15 Business Days of a demand
therefore, any amount payable shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to five percent. Such interest shall be calculated
daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of calendar days elapsed, without compounding.


 


Section 6.10      
Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.21 and this
ARTICLE VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation
or extension thereof) plus 60 calendar days and shall not be subject to any limitation set forth in Section 8.04; provided, however,
that obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any specific matter as to which a Person to
be indemnified shall have, before expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice thereof
(stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the indemnifying person.


 


Section 6.11      
Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to ARTICLE VIII may overlap with an obligation
or responsibility pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, the provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall govern.

    57


    


    

 


(d)              
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 8.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising

(f)               
For purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and the calculation of
any Losses resulting therefrom shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar
qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.


 


Section 8.05      
Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified
Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying
Party.”


 


(a)              
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made
or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative
of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party
is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably
prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party
Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such
notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material
written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be
sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice
to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying
Party’s own counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good
faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a
supplier or customer of an Acquired Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.
In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have
the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such
Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate
in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control
the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that
if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party
that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest
between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines
counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify
the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the
defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party
Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and
Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including
making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without
expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending
party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, Seller hereby assumes the defense of the Actions set forth on Section 8.02(d) of the Disclosure
Schedule and any Action arising out of item six (6) on such Schedule (with limitations set forth therein), and will directly pay
any and all costs, expenses and other Losses with respect thereto.


 






    58


    


    

 


(b)              
Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall
not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided
in this Section 8.05(b)). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of
a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release
of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party
desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified
Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party
as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to
such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim
upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense
pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


(c)              
Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim
(a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written
notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such
notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written
evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim.
The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance
alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and
the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including
access to an Acquired Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records)
as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond
within such 20 calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim. If the Indemnifying Party
rejects such claim, it shall, within such 20 calendar day period, notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its rejection, specifying
with particularity the factual or legal basis therefor. If a notice of rejection shall be duly delivered, the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve the claim. If the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to reach such agreement within ten calendar days after receipt by Indemnified Party
of the rejection notice, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party
on the terms and subject to provisions of this Agreement.

VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten Business Days of such agreement or final, non-appealable
adjudication, as provided for by Section 8.06(b) or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that
should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten Business Day period, any amount payable
shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication
to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to five percent. Such interest shall be calculated
daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of calendar days elapsed, without compounding.


 


(b)              
Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the

Buyer in the Escrow Fund, from Seller in accordance with Section 8.06(a).

(c)              
In any Action relating to a dispute of a claim made for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE IV or this ARTICLE VIII (including
claims by Buyer for payment from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement), the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such Action from the other party.

Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated

Section 8.08      
Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified
Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified
Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate
or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may
be.


 


Section 8.09      
Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.07 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole
and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct
on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall
be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI and this ARTICLE VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter
of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives
arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI and this ARTICLE
VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person
shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.
