and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall
take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective
successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to
be conveyed to Buyer or a Buyer Designee under this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and to assure fully to Seller and
its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended
to be assumed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee under this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements, and to otherwise make effective
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including (i) transferring back to Seller any asset or liability not contemplated
by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which asset or liability was transferred to Buyer
or a Buyer Designee at the Closing, and (ii) transferring to Buyer or a Buyer Designee any asset or liability contemplated by
this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was not transferred to Buyer or a Buyer Designee

c)
Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement
to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Lease, License, Governmental Permit, certificate, approval, authorization
or other right, which by its terms or by Law is non-assignable without the consent of a Third Party or a Governmental Body or
is cancelable by a Third Party in the event of an assignment (“Non-assignable Assets”) (provided that
in the event that Buyer or a Buyer Designee notifies Seller that any Purchased Asset should be transferred notwithstanding the
right of a Third Party to cancel in the event of an assignment, then such Purchased Asset that is cancelable by a Third Party
in the event of assignment shall not be included as a Non-assignable Asset for purposes of this Agreement) unless and until such
consents shall have been obtained. Seller shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such consents and deliver any
required notices prior to Closing, and Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Seller to obtain such consents
promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, Seller
and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which (i)
Buyer or a Buyer Designee would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations under such Non-assignable Assets in accordance
with this Agreement including by sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, or (ii) such Non-assignable
Assets would be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller in trust for Buyer or a Buyer Designee and the covenants and
obligations thereunder would be performed by Buyer or a Buyer Designee in Seller’s name and all benefits and obligations
existing thereunder would be for Buyer’s or the applicable Buyer Designee’s account. Seller shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates to, also take or cause to be taken at Buyer’s or a Buyer Designee’s expense such actions in its name
or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee with the benefits of the
Non-assignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Non-assignable
Assets, and Seller shall promptly pay over to Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee all money or other consideration received
by it in respect to all Non-assignable Assets. If after the Closing Date any Non-assignable Asset becomes assignable (either because
consent for the assignment thereof is obtained or otherwise), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and assign or transfer such previously
Non-assignable Asset to Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee.

obligations or liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities.


 


e)
As of and from the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates authorizes Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable

As reasonably requested by Buyer, Seller will identify the licenses included in the Non-assignable Assets and shall cooperate
with and assist Buyer, at Buyer’s reasonable request and expense, to obtain licenses or arrangements to replace the licenses,

Assets to Buyer or a Buyer Designee. Seller agrees that the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.3(b)(ii) shall
apply to Buyer’s waiver of the Bulk Sales Laws.

to and by, respectively, Buyer and Buyer Designees pursuant to this Agreement. In the case and to the extent of value added and
similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that are recoverable by Buyer or a Buyer Designee,
such Taxes shall be invoiced by Seller to Buyer or Buyer Designee, as applicable, paid by Buyer or Buyer Designee to Seller, as

Transfer Taxes shall prepare all necessary documents (including all Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner.

such Returns have been filed and Transfer Taxes have been paid. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to minimize the amount of Transfer
Taxes.

to the Pre-Closing Tax Period within such Straddle Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of Property

recovery of Property Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller, and any refund, rebate,
abatement or other recovery of Property Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Buyer. Upon
receipt of any bill (or any refund, rebate, abatement, or other recovery) for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Seller, as applicable,
shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section
2.9(c) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount

or Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 2.9(c), the applicable party shall make
such reimbursement promptly, but in no event, later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the
amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary
to calculate the amount of reimbursement.


 


d)
Following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested for the purpose of enabling the requesting party
to (i) make any election relating to Taxes, (ii) prepare Returns with respect to the Seller Business or the Purchased Assets or
(iii) to prepare for and defend audits or other Tax-related examinations by a Governmental Body with respect to the Seller Business
and the Purchased Assets. Such cooperation shall be at the expense of the requesting party.


 


2.10.
Buyer Designee. The Parties agree that Buyer may assign the right to purchase certain of the Purchased Assets to one or more
Buyer Designees or that one or more Buyer Designees may enter into a Collateral Agreement. Notwithstanding any such assignment
or execution of a Collateral Agreement by a Buyer Designee, Buyer shall remain liable for, and any such assignment or execution
shall not relieve Buyer of, its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any reference to Buyer in this Agreement shall to the extent
applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Buyer Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would
not be appropriate.

Where terms are not dictated by applicable Law, Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Transferred
Employees, during their employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee, at a minimum, the same base salaries or, as applicable, base
wage rates, offered by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date (but taking into account the 2018 salary increases) as set
forth on Schedule 3.10(a)(i). Except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4, no Benefit Plans or assets of any
Benefit Plan shall be transferred to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.


 


d)
Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment, under
the terms of any Benefit Plan of Seller, of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and that such employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the

substantially equivalent to the benefits contained in the plans listed or as described on Schedule 5.4(d) to Transferred
Employees whose employment is terminated involuntarily by Buyer on or before December 31, 2017 other than terminations in circumstances

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any
Business Employees, or to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with

upon any employee or former employee of Seller or related entities (including, without limitation, the Transferred Employees)
any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period)
of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Section 5.4. It is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section
5.4 are not intended to be for the benefit of or otherwise be enforceable by, any third party, including, without limitation,
any Transferred Employees. No provision of this Section 5.4 shall create any rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits
that may be provided under any Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established or maintained by Buyer, shall
be construed to establish, amend, or modify an Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement nor shall
require Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer to continue or amend any particular benefit plan and any such plan may
be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law

Body; (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from Third Parties; (iv) the defending of any lawsuits
or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or the

of the Seller Business, including the preparation of letters to all customers, suppliers, distributors and other business partners
of the Seller Business to notify them of the Closing and provide information regarding the transition of the Seller Business to

of or hire any Transferred Employee without Buyer’s prior written consent. The term “solicit the employment”
shall not be deemed to include generalized searches for employees through media advertisements, employment firms or otherwise
that are not focused on or directed to Transferred Employees. This restriction shall not apply to any employee whose employment
was involuntarily terminated other than for cause by Buyer a Buyer Designee, or their respective successors, after the Closing.


 


5.9.
No Negotiation or Solicitation. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates will not (and Seller will cause each
of its employees, officers, representatives and agents or advisors not to and shall cause its Affiliates to cause employees, officers,
representatives and agents or advisors not to) directly or indirectly (a) solicit, initiate, entertain, encourage or accept the
submission of any proposal, offer or any discussions relating to or that might reasonably be expected to lead to or result in
any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the direct or indirect acquisition of the Seller Business or any portion of
the Purchased Assets (other than purchases of Seller Products or services from the Seller Business in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice), or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding the Seller Business, furnish any
information with respect thereto, or assist or participate in, or facilitate or encourage in any other manner any effort or attempt
by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Seller will notify Buyer if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or
contact with respect to any of the foregoing within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any such offer or proposal, including
the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or contact and all material terms thereof.


 


5.10.
Non-Competition.


 


a)
Seller agrees that, as part of the consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price, for a period of five (5) years immediately
following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, as a principal, stockholder,
joint venturer or otherwise, operate, perform or have any ownership interest in any business that designs, develops, manufactures,
markets, sells, installs or distributes products in competition with the Seller Business starting at the border of Mexico,
San Ysidro crossing and extending into the United States seventy-five (75) miles, except that Seller may purchase or
otherwise acquire by merger, purchase of assets, stock (including investing as a minority shareholder), controlling interest
or otherwise any Person or business or engage in any similar merger and acquisition activity with any Person the primary
business of which is not in competition with the Seller Business, provided that Seller may not provide any such business access
or license to any of the Assigned Intellectual Property for use in any business that competes with the Seller Business. For the
purposes of this Section 5.10(a), ownership of securities of a company whose securities are publicly traded under a recognized
securities exchange not in excess of 5% of any class of such securities shall not be considered to be competition with the Seller
Business, and a Person shall not be considered to be in the “primary business” of competing with the
Seller Business if such Person derives less than 20% of its revenues from products that compete with the Seller Business. For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the agreements and limitations set forth in this Section 5.10 shall not apply
to any entity that acquires all or part of Seller in any transaction.

b)
Seller acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Section 5.10(a) constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s entering
into and performing this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges, stipulates and agrees that a breach of such obligation could
result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to Buyer for which there may be no adequate remedy at Law and further agrees
that in the event of any breach of said obligation, Buyer may be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other relief as is
proper under the circumstances.


 


c)
If any provision contained in this Section shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.10, but this Section 5.10 shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the
parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length
of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision
shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under
applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.10 to provide for a covenant
having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as
shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.


 


5.11.

and for the period on and after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. If any Party actually makes any payments that
are, in whole or in part, designated as payments for the period allocated to the other Party under this Section 5.12, such other
Party shall promptly reimburse such amounts to the Party so making such payments.


 


b)
For purposes of calculating pro-rations, Buyer shall be deemed to own the Purchased Assets, and, therefore be responsible for
the expense thereof, as of 12:01 a.m. local time on the day after the Closing Date. All pro-rations shall be made on the basis
of the actual number of days of the month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon a 365-day year. The amount
of the pro-rations shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available,
and the Parties agree to cooperate and use their good faith efforts to make such adjustments.


 


5.13.
Notification of Certain Matters. Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence
of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which could reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of
Seller in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Closing in any material respect and (b) any failure of
Seller in any material respect to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied
by it hereunder, and Buyer shall give prompt written notice to Seller of (x) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the

Seller will promptly notify Buyer of such request or requirement and will cooperate with Buyer such that Buyer may seek an appropriate
protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller

terms and conditions:


 


9.1.
Effect of Investigation. The right to indemnification or other remedy of Buyer or its Affiliates hereunder based on the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect
to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, by the Buyer or its Affiliates, whether before or after
the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with,
any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.


 


9.2.
Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Buyer and Seller contained in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of this Article 9 and such representations and warranties shall terminate at the
close of business on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the
representations and warranties in Section 3.7(d) with respect to environmental matters and the representations and warranties
relating to Tax and ERISA matters shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at the close of business on the 120th day
following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the environmental, Tax or ERISA liabilities
in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof), (ii) the representations and warranties in Section
3.13 shall terminate at the close of business on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date and (iii) the
representations and warranties in Section 3.3 with respect to authorization and Section 3.5(a) with respect to title shall survive
indefinitely. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations or warranties
after the applicable expiration date; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the obligations of Buyer or Seller to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party shall not terminate with respect to any
claim or right to indemnification as to which such Indemnified Party shall have made in good faith and with reasonable specificity
under the circumstances before the applicable expiration date, provided notice to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this
Article 9 and, in such case, such claim or right to indemnification shall survive indefinitely until such claim has been finally
resolved.


 


9.3.
General Agreement to Indemnify.


 


a)
Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party hereto, and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer,
employee or agent of such other party or Affiliates thereof (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against
any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, losses, and damages, amounts paid in settlement, interest,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Indemnified
Party to the extent that the Losses arise by reason of, or result from (i) subject to Section 9.2, any breach or any failure of
any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with this
Agreement to have been true when made and at and as of the Closing Date, or (ii) the breach by such party of any covenant or agreement
of such party contained in this Agreement to the extent not waived by the other party.

b)
Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent
of Buyer or Affiliates thereof (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred
by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) the Excluded Liabilities; (ii) Buyer’s
waiver of, or noncompliance with, any applicable Bulk Sales Laws; and (iii) any claim, demand or liability for Taxes relating
to, pertaining to, or arising out of the Seller Business or the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.


 


c)
Buyer further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Affiliates thereof, and any director, officer, employee or agent
of Seller or Affiliates thereof (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred
by Seller or any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (i) any failure of Buyer to discharge
any of the Assumed Liabilities; and (ii) any claim, demand or liability for Taxes relating to, pertaining to, or arising out of
the Seller Business or the Purchased Assets for any Post-Closing Tax Period.


 


d)
Amounts payable in respect of the parties’ indemnification obligations shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Seller on their Returns to the extent permitted by law. Whether
or not the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim (as defined below), both
parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony,
and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith or as provided in Section 5.1.


 


e)
The indemnification obligations of each party hereto under this Article 9 shall inure to the benefit of the directors, officers
and Affiliates of the other party hereto on the same terms as are applicable to such other party.


 


f)
The Indemnifying Party’s liability for all claims made under Section 9.3(a)(i) shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for such claims until the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred shall exceed
one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold Amount”) in which case the Indemnifying Party
shall be liable for the entire amount of such Losses (subject to the limit set forth in clause (ii)) and not just the amount of
the Losses that exceeds the Threshold Amount, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability for all such claims
shall not exceed the Purchase Price (the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, in no event
shall the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.3(f) apply to (a) Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation
or (b) Losses arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.3, 3.5(a) and 3.20. The Indemnified
Party may not make a claim for indemnification under Section 9.3(a)(i) after the expiration of the applicable survival period
specified in Section 9.2; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as such
Indemnified Party shall have, before the applicable expiration date, provided notice of a claim (made in good faith and with reasonable
specificity under the circumstances) before the applicable expiration date to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Article
9, then, in such case, such claim or right to indemnification shall survive indefinitely until such claim has been finally resolved.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Article 9, all “materiality”, “Seller
Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (or
contained, incorporated or referenced in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) shall be disregarded for purposes
of calculating the amount of such Losses, but shall not be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach of any such
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (or contained, incorporated or referenced in any certificate delivered
pursuant to this Agreement) has occurred.

g)
The indemnification provided in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available
to the parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations or warranties contained
herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however,
this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for (i) specific performance or other equitable
remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement or (ii) fraud or intentional
misrepresentation.


 


h)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to the other party for indirect,
special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage arising out of this Agreement, provided, however, the
foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect of Losses directly incurred from Third
Party Claims. Both parties shall mitigate their damages.


 


i)
The rights to indemnification under this Section 9.3 shall not be subject to set-off for any claim by the Indemnifying Party against
any Indemnified Party, whether or not arising from the same event giving rise to such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.


 


9.4.
General Procedures for Indemnification.


 


a)
The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly notify the party against whom indemnification
is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action,
suit or proceeding by any Third Party, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Party
such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered
material prejudice by such failure). If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified
Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified
Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third-Party
Claim”), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim only if such Third-Party Claim (i) involves (and continues
to involve) solely money damages or (ii) involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief
against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the
Third Party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages; provided further, that
in the case where Seller is the Indemnifying Party, as additional requirements in addition to the foregoing, the Seller shall
only be permitted to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in the event that the monetary damages that are sought (or that
would reasonably be expected to be sought) in connection with such Third-Party Claim do not exceed the Cap Amount or such lesser
remaining amount after deducting therefrom the amount of all other previously paid and outstanding unpaid and/or unresolved claims
pursuant to this Article 9. If the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified
Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense against such Third Party Claim. In the
event that any party exercises its right to undertake any such defense against any Third Party Claim as provided above, then the
other parties shall cooperate in such defense and make available at such cooperating party expense all witnesses, pertinent records,
materials and information in such party’s possession and control relating thereto as is reasonably required to by the party
conducting the defense.


 


b)
The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control),
at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement.


 


c)
The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent
to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment
relates solely to monetary damages and, in addition, in the case where Seller is the Indemnifying Party, such monetary damages
do not exceed the Cap Amount or such lesser remaining amount after deducting therefrom the amount of all other previously paid
and outstanding unpaid and/or unresolved claims pursuant to this Article 9. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified
Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or
to forbear to take, any action, or (ii) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third-Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as
it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief against
the Indemnified Party, and shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim involving money damages for which the Indemnifying
Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 9.4 with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

d)
In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send
written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party; but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure).
Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with
reasonable particularity and shall contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such a claim shall
be incurred. Such notice shall be given promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the basis for each such a claim.
The Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of an indemnified Loss, and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 9.3, (i) pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount of such Loss specified in
such notice which the Indemnifying Party does not contest, or (ii) notify the Indemnified Party if it wishes to contest the existence
or amount of part or all of such a Loss by stating with particularity the basis upon which it contests the existence or amount
thereof.

10.4.
Assignment; Binding Effect; Severability. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the other party’s
written consent; provided, that Buyer may transfer or assign in whole or in part to one or more Buyer Designee its right to purchase
all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, legal representatives and
permitted assigns of each party hereto. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any one or more
provisions are deemed illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion
of such provision shall cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either party, in which event the parties shall use
reasonable commercial efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the parties the benefits and obligations of
the offending provision.


 


10.5.
Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THAT STATE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CHOICE OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA, AS TO ALL MATTERS, INCLUDING MATTERS OF VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT, ENFORCEABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND REMEDIES.


 


10.6.
Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Supreme
Court of the State of Florida, Pinellas County and (ii) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, for
the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and
each agrees that no such action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be
brought by it or any of its Affiliates except in such courts). Buyer further agrees, and Seller further agrees, that service of
any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Person’s respective address set forth in Section
10.1 above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Florida with respect to any matters to
which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably
and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim), any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding
arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of Florida, Pinellas
County, or (ii) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida or that any such action, suit or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


 


10.7.

permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising
out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representative of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and

the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.7.

announcing the transaction contemplated hereby. Except for such press release, neither Seller nor Buyer shall, without the approval
of the other, make any press release or other announcement concerning the existence of this Agreement or the terms of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by Law, in which case the
other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release
or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude, or require notification
to the other Party of, communications or disclosures necessary to comply with accounting, stock exchange or federal securities
or labor relations Law disclosure obligations.

10.10.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall (a) confer on any

11.
Termination; Amendment and Waiver.


 


11.1.
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by:


 


a)
Mutual Consent. The mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;


 


b)
Failure of Buyer Condition. Buyer upon written notice to Seller if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section
8.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Buyer;


 


c)
Failure of Seller Condition. Seller upon written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section
8.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the Termination Date and shall not have been waived in writing by Seller;


 


d)
Court or Administrative Order. Buyer or Seller if (i) there shall be in effect a final, non-appealable order of a court
or government administrative agency of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or (ii) if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited;
or


 


e)
Delay. Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred by June 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”);
provided, however, that the party seeking termination pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (e) is not then in breach in
any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.


 


11.2.
Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.1, this Agreement
shall become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party or its directors, officers or stockholders,
except for the obligations of the parties hereto as provided in Article 6 relating to the obligations of Buyer and Seller to keep
confidential certain information, Section 10.2 relating to certain expenses, Section 10.9 relating to publicity and this Section
11.2. Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to release either party from any liability for any knowing, willful and material
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder prior to termination.


 


11.3.
Amendment and Waiver. The Agreement may be amended with respect to any provision contained herein at any time prior to
the Closing Date by action of the parties hereto taken by their Boards of Directors or by their duly authorized officers or employees,

Date by the party hereto which is entitled to the benefits thereof by action taken by its Board of Directors or its duly authorized
officer or employee, whether before or after the action of such party. Any such amendment or waiver shall be evidenced by a written
instrument duly executed on behalf of each party by its duly authorized officer or employee. The failure of either party to enforce
at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision nor shall it in any way affect
the validity of this Agreement or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any
breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.


 


11.4.
Attorney Review. The Seller and Buyer acknowledge that this Agreement will have important legal consequences and imposes
significant requirement on each party. Accordingly, the Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have considered retaining or have
retained legal counsel to review this Agreement and that each party has been provided with adequate time to obtain such review.
