the other Party.

1.5Purchase
Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Equity Interests will be Twenty Million Seven
Hundred Forty Thousand Seven Hundred and Four Dollars ($20,740,704), subject to adjustment as set forth below.



1.6Payment

Date by delivery by Buyer to Seller of (a) $500,000 in cash and (b) a promissory note in the principal amount of $20,240,704 in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”). The Note shall (a) provide for interest at an annual
rate of 6%, payable quarterly; (b) an amortization schedule as set forth in the Note; and (c) a maturity date of May 31, 2018.
The Note will be guaranteed by the Companies and Michael Angell, personally.



1.7	Purchase
Price Adjustment: Deposits. The Purchase Price represents the sum of Fifteen Million Dollars and the amount of cash on
deposit in the TCP and Summit trading accounts, which is approximately Five Million Seven Hundred Forty Thousand Seven Hundred
and Four Dollars ($5,740,704). To the extent the actual deposits on the Closing Date are more or less than $5,740,704, the Purchase
Price and the Note shall be appropriately adjusted prior to execution and delivery thereof.



1.8	Purchase
Price Adjustments: Receivables and Payables.



(a)	All receivables
recognized by the Companies with respect to pre-Closing Date transactions (the “Pre-Closing Receivables”) shall
remain the property of Seller. In the event any of the Companies receives payment of Post-Closing Receivables, they shall promptly
forward such payments to Seller. All payables incurred by the Companies with respect to pre-Closing Date transactions (the “Pre-Closing
Payables”) shall remain the obligation of Seller. In the event any of the Companies pays a Pre-Closing Payable, they
shall promptly notify Seller and Seller shall promptly reimburse the Companies for such payment.



(b)	On the 60th
day following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer will a statement of all Pre-Closing Payables and Pre-Closing Receivables
and whether any payments or reimbursements remain unpaid. The Parties shall promptly settle any such unpaid amounts. In the event
of any disagreement as to such amounts, the matter shall be referred to a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized accounting
firm that does not have a relationship with Seller or Buyer. The determination by such accounting firm shall be final and binding
on both Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be allocated between the Parties by such accounting firm in
inverse proportion to the extent a party prevails on the resolution of the disagreement. By way of example, if Seller contests
a $100,000 amount, and the accounting firm determines that the actual amount should be $20,000, Buyer shall be allocated 80% of
the accounting firm’s fees and expenses.



(c)	The payments
set forth above are designed to ensure that financial transactions entered into prior to the Closing Date (trades, accounts payable,
and accounts receivable) but that do not settle until after the Closing Date are for the benefit of Seller and expenses incurred
prior to the Closing Date but not due until after the Closing Date are not a burden on Buyer. In the event there are Pre-Closing
Payables or Pre-Closing Receivables that are not paid or collected, respectively, before such 60th day, the Parties
shall, from time to time as necessary, repeat the process set forth in subsection (b) above.

following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide COBRA coverage to each of TCP’s and Summit’s employees until Buyer

(b)	In order to
provide adequate time for Buyer to set up its own bank accounts, Seller shall permit Buyer to access and utilize its current bank
account(s). As part of the Adjustment Procedure, Buyer shall bear any costs or expenses related to such account(s). Any pre-Closing
Date cash in such account(s) belongs to Seller.



(c)	Bonuses for
the employees Buyer acquires as part of the acquisition described herein shall be paid on the dates set forth in each employee’s
agreement, but shall be pro-rated based on the amount of bonus owed prior to and subsequent to the Closing Date. Any amounts owed

$705,000. All such amounts belong to Seller and, if any of the Companies receives any such amounts, it shall promptly deliver the
same to Seller.

(b)	Indemnification
of Seller for Buyer Breach. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2, Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend
Seller with respect to, and hold Seller harmless from, any Damages, whether or not actually incurred or paid prior to the expiration
of the indemnification obligations, which Seller may directly or indirectly incur or suffer by reason of, or which results, arises
out of or is based upon (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any
other Transaction Document or in any closing certificate, or (ii) the failure of Buyer to comply with any covenants or other commitments
made by Buyer in this Agreement.



6.2Limitations
on Indemnification.



(a)	Survival.
The representations and warranties of the Parties shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date,
except that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1 (Organization and Standing), 2.2 (Authorization),
2.5 (Capitalization), 2.6 (No Subsidiaries), 2.22 (Brokerage), and the representations and warranties contained
in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Standing), 3.2 (Authorization) and 3.4 (Brokerage) (collectively, the “Fundamental
Representations”), shall survive the Closing indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by Law.



(b)	Threshold
on Obligations. No Party will have any obligation under Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b), unless and until the aggregate
amount of Damages for which the Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, is obligated thereunder exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold”),
provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Damages exceeds the Threshold, then the Seller or Buyer, as applicable, will
be obligated for all of such Damages (including those equal to or less than the Threshold), subject to the other terms of this
ARTICLE VI.



(c)	Cap on Obligations.



The respective liability
of Seller under Section 6.1(a) or Buyer under Section 6.1(b), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to
$1,500,000 (the “Cap”), subject to the other terms of this ARTICLE



(d)	Certain Treatment
of Fundamental Representations. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section, Section 6.2(c) will not limit any
liability with respect to any Fundamental Representation, except that neither Seller’s nor Buyer’s respective obligations,
as applicable, in the aggregate, will exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.



(e)	Calculation
of Damages; Mitigation of Damages; Insurance.



(i)	A Party claiming
indemnification will be bound by its common law duty to mitigate its Damages.



(ii)	No Party shall
be liable for an otherwise indemnifiable Party’s Damages if such Damages are covered by insurance, to the extent insurance
proceeds are actually received by such Party (net of deductibles, increases in insurance premiums, and costs incurred by such Party
to enforce payment from the insurer). Such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain insurance proceeds when coverage
is available.



17








An Indemnified
Party seeking indemnification of any Damages or potential Damages arising from a claim asserted by a third party (a “Third
Party Claim”) must give written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt
of an assertion of Liability from the third party, provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying
the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Agreement unless, and then solely to
the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.



(f)	The Indemnifying
Party may, at its option by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party, control the defense of any Third Party Claim for
which indemnification is sought. If (i) the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, or notifies the Indemnified Party
within 30 days after the date notice is provided pursuant to Section 6.2(e) that the Indemnifying Party does not assume
such defense, (ii) having assumed such defense but failed to actively and diligently contest such Third Party Claim in good faith
with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) to retain separate counsel of its choosing, defend
such Third Party Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party); it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely
affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified
Party against a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend diligently
such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party, prior to the period in which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of such matter, may take such reasonable actions to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions
being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement,
but with such actions not being determinative of the amount of any Damages. In all cases, the party without the right to control
the defense of the Third Party Claim may retain counsel of its choice at its own expense, and may participate in the defense of
such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and (i)
the employment of counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such
Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed, or is prohibited under this Section 6.2 from employing,
counsel in the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel,
that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding
or claim, then the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith will be considered
Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties.



18








(g)	Notwithstanding
Section 6.2(f) above, if, with respect to a Third Party Claim: (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable
remedies in respect of the Indemnified Party or its business; (ii) such Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to result in Liabilities
that, taken with other then existing claims under this ARTICLE VII, would not be fully indemnified hereunder; (iii) the
Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; (iv) such Third Party Claim seeks a finding or admission
of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (v) such Third
Party Claim relates to any ongoing business of the Indemnified Party (which, in the case of Buyer, shall include the Companies),
then, in each such case, (x) the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled, but not obligated, to contest, defend, compromise and
settle such Third Party Claim in the first instance, with counsel of its choosing, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it
being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected
by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim, and (y) if the Indemnified Party does not contest, defend, compromise or settle
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to contest and defend such Third Party Claim (provided
that the Indemnifying Party shall only compromise or settle such Third Party Claim in accordance with subsection (e) below).



(h)	The Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent
with Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to
be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.



(i)	Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may, without the
written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any Third
Party Claim for which indemnification is sought, or permit a default judgment, or consent to entry of any judgment. If a settlement
offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third-party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified
Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for by
such offer without reservation of any rights or defenses against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may decline to accept
the settlement offer and may continue to contest such claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount
of any ultimate Damages with respect to such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay under this
Agreement will be limited to the lesser of (i) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept
plus the Damages of the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement
offer, or (ii) the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.



6.3Exclusive
Remedy. This ARTICLE VI shall be the exclusive remedy for any and all claims arising under, out of, or related to
this Agreement.
