described in reasonable detail (and otherwise in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in subsection (d)(l) below)
no later than the Applicable Limitation Date, the other party shall be required to indemnify hereunder for all Losses which such
parties may incur (subject to the Basket and the Cap, if applicable) in respect of the matters which are the subject of such claim,
regardless of when incurred.


 


(2)
With respect to any Loss arising under subsection (a)(1) above:


 


(i)
The Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Parties for any such Loss unless the aggregate amount of all such
Losses exceeds [***] in the aggregate (the “Basket”), in which case the Seller and the Principals shall be
liable to the Buyer Parties for all such Losses in excess of the Basket ([***]);


 










(ii)
The Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Parties to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses
(excluding any such indemnified Losses relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.5
and 5.6) exceeds [***] (the “Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s indemnification obligations
to the Buyer Parties for Losses arising under subsection (a)(1) above and resulting from a breach of the representations
and warranties set forth in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 shall not be subject to the Cap.


 


(d)
Procedure.


 


(1)
If a party hereto seeks indemnification under this Section 10.5, such party (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give written notice to the other party or parties (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receiving
written notice of any Action or Proceeding against it (if by a third party) or discovering the liability, obligation or facts
giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis
thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
or his Liabilities hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have harmed the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party
shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in detail the basis of such claim and the facts
pertaining thereto and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding,
investigation or other claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense, and at the Indemnifying Party’s option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall have the right to defend
the Indemnified Party against such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim with counsel of its choice reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.


 






    	21



     


    




 


(2)
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such
defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim which the Indemnifying
Party seeks to assume control of (i) seeks non-monetary relief; (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (iii) involves
a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing
to vigorously prosecute or defend; or (iv) involves a claim to which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination
would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects.


 


(3)
If the Indemnifying Party is permitted under this Section 10.5(d) to assume and control the defense and elects to do so,
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party
shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying
Party in writing; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict
of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.


 


(4)
If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing
to defend such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunction or other equitable relief shall
be imposed against the Indemnified Party, if such settlement does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party
from all Liabilities with respect to such claim and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances,
with prejudice, or if such settlement could adversely affect any Tax or other Liability of such Indemnified Party.


 


(e)
Purchase Price Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of the Seller, the Principals or the Buyer as indemnification
shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.


 


(f)
Offset; Satisfaction. Any amount owing from Seller or Principals to any Buyer Party pursuant to this Section 10.5
shall be paid and satisfied [***]. Any additional amounts shall be paid by Seller and Principals to Buyer pursuant to the terms
hereof, subject to the Cap limitations set forth in Section 10.5(c)(2)(ii), if and to the extent applicable. [***]


 


(g)
Investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Seller nor Principals shall be liable
to any Buyer Party under this Section 10.5 for any Loss based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any
of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement if Buyer had Knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach
prior to the Closing.


 






    	22



     


    







 


(h)
No Punitive or Consequential Losses. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any
punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business
reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based
on any type of multiple.


 


(i)
Mitigation. Buyer, Seller and the Principals (and their respective Affiliates and Representatives) shall cooperate reasonably
with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the
other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability,
and further including incurring costs only to the minimum extent reasonably necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to
such Loss.


 


(j)
Indemnification Exclusive Remedy. Other than the rights of the parties hereto to seek specific performance, injunctive
or equitable relief as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and further, except for actions based on the commission of intentional
misrepresentation or fraud by a party, the provisions of this Section 10.5 set forth the sole and exclusive rights and
remedies of the parties hereto for any breach of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations
in this Section 10.5(j) shall not apply with respect to any fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by a party
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.


 


Section
10.6 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.


 


(a)
Non-Competition. Except as permitted by the License Agreement and Consulting Agreement, and except as otherwise may be
permitted by the Buyer (in its discretion) in writing, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on January 1,
2026 (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Seller and each Principal shall not engage, and shall not allow any of
their respective Affiliates to engage, directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, operator, manager, employee, officer, director,
consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise), in the Business in any jurisdiction in North America in which the Seller has
transacted the Business at any time during the five (5) year period immediately prior to the Closing Date, which jurisdictions
include, without limitation, those jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 10.6 hereto; [***]. The Seller and Principals expressly
acknowledge and agree that each and every restriction imposed by this Section 10.6 (the “Non-Compete Agreement”)
is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area.


 


(b)
Non-Solicitation. The Seller and Principals agree that, during the Non-Compete Period, the Seller and Principals shall
not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (the “Non-Solicitation Agreement”):


 


(1)
contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent
contractor or otherwise) any person employed by the Buyer at any time during the six (6) month period prior thereto, without the
prior written consent of the Buyer; or


 






    	23



     


    

 









 


(2) induce
or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, distributor, retailer or other business relation of the Business to discontinue or
materially reduce its business relationship with the Business; or


 


(3) disparage
the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives.


 


(c) Exceptions
to Non-Compete. The Buyer acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Non-Compete Agreement and the Non-Solicitation Agreement
do not and shall not prohibit the Seller and the Principals from (i) developing, promoting, marketing, distributing and/or selling
the [***], (ii) conducting the Post-Harvest Business (whether during the License Period or at any time thereafter), or (iii) conducting
or continuing to conduct any business activities not constituting the Business (expressly including, without limitation, the Seller’s
Other Product Lines). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the right of Seller and/or the Principals to conduct
the Post-Harvest Business is not limited to the duration of the License Period, but rather continues indefinitely thereafter,
at the discretion of Seller and/or the Principals.


 


(d) Buyer
Restrictive Covenants.


 


(1) Non-Disparagement.
Buyer agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives
to, disparage the Seller, the Principals, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives.


 


(2) Non-Solicitation.
Buyer agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, the Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives
to:


 


(i) contact,
approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent
contractor or otherwise) any person employed by the Seller at any time during the six (6) month period prior thereto (other than
the Principals, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Seller; or


 


(ii) induce
or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, distributor, retailer or other business relation of the Post-Harvest Business to
discontinue or materially reduce its business relationship with the Post-Harvest Business


 


(3) [***]
Modifications. Without obtaining the prior written consent of the Seller, the Buyer shall not amend, modify, supplement or
otherwise alter the [***] in any manner which modifies or changes, in any material respect, the rights and benefits of the Seller
and the Principals thereunder, as contemplated by this Agreement (e.g., the right of the Seller to purchase Post-Harvest Products
during the License Term, the right of the Seller to be notified of Buyer purchases of Products in connection with the Earn-Out
Consideration process, and the right of the Seller to purchase Products ([***]) from [***] during any release period described
in Section 10.7, below).


 






    	24



     


    

 


(e) Remedy
for Breach. The Seller and Principals acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach by either the Seller or any Principal
(or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) of any of the provisions of Sections 10.6(a) and 10.6(b)
hereof (after taking into account Section 10.6(c) hereof), and the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event
of a breach by the Buyer (or any of its Representatives or Affiliates) of any of the provisions of Section 10.6(d) hereof,
monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party
and its, his or her respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply
to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce
or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.


 


(f) Enforcement.
If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 10.6 is
invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have
the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace
any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified
after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.


 


(g) Acknowledgment.
The Seller and Principals acknowledge and agree that (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6 hereto are reasonable
in all respects (including, without limitation, with respect to the subject matter, time period and geographical area) and are
necessary to protect the Buyer’s interest in, and value of, the Business (including, without limitation, the goodwill inherent
therein); (ii) the Seller is primarily responsible for the creation of such value; and (iii) the Buyer would not have consummated
the transactions contemplated hereby without the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6.


 


Section
10.7 Default and Non-Competition. In the event the Buyer defaults on timely payment
or delivery of any portion of the Future Cash Payments and/or the Earn-Out Consideration (altogether, the “Payout”),
the Seller shall provide Buyer written notice and opportunity to cure such default [***] for the first failure, [***] for the
second failure and [***] for a third or further failure). If the Buyer fails to cure the default in payment or delivery within
the specified time period, the Seller and the Principals shall then be fully and completely released from their Non-Compete Agreement
and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Restrictive Agreements”), but shall advise in writing any third parties
with whom they subsequently do business that would otherwise be violative of the Restrictive Agreements of the status of the Restrictive
Agreements prior to entering into any agreements for such business with such third parties. If the Buyer elects to reinstate the
Restrictive Agreements, then the Buyer may do so by first paying to the Seller and the Principals the full and complete Payout
(including any such amounts not yet then due or payable) – provided that, in the event of such a reinstatement, the Seller
and the Principals will be provided commercially reasonable accommodation to unwind any otherwise violative relationships established
as a consequence of the termination and release of the Restrictive Agreements. In the event of the release of the Restrictive
Agreements as described above, the Buyer expressly acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Seller and the Principals shall
have the right, among other competitive activities, to deal directly with [***] with respect to any of [***] products that would
otherwise constitute competitive Products, [***], until such time as the Restrictive Agreements are reinstated.

Section
10.8 Remedies; Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees
that the other parties hereto would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed
in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that, in addition
to any other rights and remedies existing in a party’s favor to enforce its rights hereunder including by an action for
damages, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof).


 


Section
10.9 [***]. Following the Closing and continuing until the later of such time as the Earn-Out
Consideration has been paid in full or the License Period has terminated, Buyer shall not permit [***] (as contemplated by this
Agreement) without Seller’s prior written consent.


 


ARTICLE
XI


 


BUYER
OPTION FOR RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTE [***]


 


Section
11.1 [***] Distribution Rights. The parties acknowledge that Seller is at the preliminary stage of evaluating
the viability of the [***] as a possible fungicide-algaecide-bactericide product, and further, that, following the Closing, Seller
anticipates continuing this evaluation process, and if successful, further anticipates developing the [***] into a product line
for sale and distribution. In such event and at such time as such viability and development has been satisfactorily completed
in Seller’s discretion, Seller agrees that Seller shall offer Buyer the first right to distribute such new [***] line, on
such terms as that parties may mutually agree at such time, upon undertaking good faith negotiations, in which event, Buyer shall
have the right, in its sole option, to undertake or forego such distribution rights with Buyer’s right to become a distributor
of such [***] line to be accepted or rejected by Buyer within 45 days of the commencement by Seller of such discussions, it being
understood that following such 45 day period, Seller shall have the right to continue its efforts to further develop, market,
distribute and sell such [***] line, whether directly or with or through any other Person.

be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice

out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a California state court in
