    	10



     


    

 


(b)
Determination of Net Revenue of the Companies. “Net Revenue of the Companies” for each Quarterly Earnout
Period means the aggregate amount of gross sales by the Companies (excluding sales between the Purchaser and either Company and
between the Companies but including sales by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of products and services of either Company)
of products and services to third parties during the relevant Quarterly Earnout Period (in each case, determined in accordance

credits or allowances actually given or credited to any third party due to rejections, defects or returns, (ii) any discounts
or rebates actually given or credited, (iii) sales, use, occupation or excise taxes, freight, duty or transportation insurance
included therein, and in each case as actually incurred by the Companies; and (iv) amounts previously included in Net Revenues
of the Companies after the Closing Date that were written-off during such period as uncollectible. Net Revenue of the Companies
will be calculated for each Quarterly Earnout Period in the manner provided on Schedule 3.4(a), and for purposes of determining
the deductions referred to in this Section 3.4(b)(i)-(iv) above for each of the products and services, such deductions
will be determined without duplication.


 


(c)
Dispute Mechanism.


 


(i)
Within 10 days following the Purchaser’s delivery to the Member of a Net Revenue Statement with respect to a Quarterly Earnout
Period, the Member will give the Purchaser a written notice stating either (i) the Member’s acceptance, without objection,
of the Net Revenue Statement (a “Net Revenue Acceptance Notice”) or (ii) the Member’s objections to the
Net Revenue Statement (a “Net Revenue Objection Notice”). If the Member gives the Purchaser a Net Revenue Acceptance
Notice or does not give the Purchaser a Net Revenue Objection Notice within such 10-day period, then such Net Revenue Statement
will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and the Net Revenue of the Companies set forth on such Net Revenue Statement will
constitute the Final Net Revenue of the Companies for such Quarterly Earnout Period.


 


(ii)
In the event that the Member delivers a Net Revenue Objection Notice to the Purchaser and the Purchaser and the Member fail to
resolve all of the issues set forth in the Net Revenue Objection Notice within 10 days after the Purchaser receives the Net Revenue
Objection Notice (the “Net Revenue Agreement Period”), (A) the Member and the Purchaser will retain the Independent
Auditors to make the determination of the Final Net Revenue of the Companies for such Quarterly Earnout Period in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement within the 15-day period immediately following the Net Revenue Agreement Period, and (B) the Purchaser
and the Member Representative each will provide the Independent Auditors with their respective determinations of the Net Revenue
of the Companies for such Quarterly Earnout Period. The Independent Auditors will consider only those items and amounts in the
Purchaser’s and the Member’s respective determinations of the Net Revenue of the Companies that are identified as
being items and amounts to which the Purchaser and the Member have been unable to agree. In resolving any such disputed item or
amount, the Independent Auditors may not assign a value to any item or amount that is higher than the highest value for such item
or amount claimed by either Party or lower than the lowest value for such item or amount claimed by either Party. The Independent
Auditors’ determination of the Net Revenue of the Companies will be based on the definition of Net Revenue of the Companies
contained in this Agreement. Assuming compliance with the immediately preceding sentence, the determination of the Final Net Revenue
of the Companies for such Quarterly Earnout Period by the Independent Auditors will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.
The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be paid (x) by the Member if the items covered thereby are resolved
in favor of the Purchaser or (y) by the Purchaser if the items covered thereby are resolved in favor of the Member. If the items
referred to therein are resolved in part in favor of the Member and in part in favor of the Purchaser, such fees, costs and expenses
will be allocated between the Member and the Purchaser in inverse proportion as the Member and the Purchaser may prevail on matters
resolved by the Independent Auditor, which proportionate allocations will be determined by the Independent Auditors.

(d)
Earnout Payment. With respect to each Quarterly Earnout Period, the Purchaser will pay to the Member an amount equal to
the payout amount as set forth on Schedule 3.4(d) based on the Final Net Revenue of the Companies (each such payment, if
any, that is described in this Section 3.4(d) is an “Earnout Payment” and, collectively, the “Earnout
Payments”). Up to the first $31,250 of each Earnout Payment, if any, that becomes due will be paid from the Escrow Account,
and the Purchaser and the Member agree to jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release $31,250 from the Escrow Account as follows:
(i) if an Earnout Payment becomes due in an amount that is equal to or greater than $31,250, then $31,250 will be released from
the Escrow Account to the Member and (ii) if an Earnout Payment becomes due in an amount that is less than $31,250, then the amount
of the Earnout Payment will be released from the Escrow Account to the Member and the difference between such Earnout Payment
and $31,250 will be released from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser; provided, in either (i) or (ii) above, the distribution
from the Escrow Account made in connection with the final Earnout Payment will be a distribution of all remaining funds in the
Escrow Account. Any amount of an Earnout Payment owed to the Member in excess of the amount received by the Member from the Escrow
Account will be paid in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank accounts as are designated in writing
by the Member within three Business Days of the determination of Final Net Revenue of the Companies.

retain the books and records and other documents and information relating to a Quarterly Earnout Period until at least one calendar
year following the end of such Quarterly Earnout Period.


 


(ii)
In the event of a dispute between the Parties with respect to this Section 3.4, the Independent Auditors will have the

Company has maintained adequate and suitable records regarding the service of each of its employees including records of working
time. Each Company has properly classified its employees pursuant to the FLSA. Neither Company is, nor has it been in the past
three years, a government contractor.


 


4.19
Employee Benefits.


 


(a)
Set forth on Schedule 4.19(a) is a list of all Employee Benefit Plans established, maintained or contributed to by either
Company. Each Company has delivered or caused to be delivered or made available to the Purchaser copies of (i) each current Employee
Benefit Plan, together with the most recent amendments thereto, and related trust agreement or other funding instrument, as well
as the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination letter, opinion or advisory related to each Employee Benefit Plan qualified
under Section 401(a) or 501 of the Code, (ii) IRS Form 5500 for the three most recently completed plan years for each Employee
Benefit Plan required to file such Form and any related audited financial statements and opinions; (iii) the most recent Summary
Plan Description (plus all subsequent Summaries of Material Modification) for each Employee Benefit Plan subject to the Summary
Plan Description requirements of Section 104(b) of ERISA, (iv) all material communications to or from any Governmental Authority
(including the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor) concerning any Employee Benefit Plan since December 31, 2012,
and (v) with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, test results for the prior plan
year demonstrating such Employee Benefit Plan’s compliance with the applicable coverage, annual additions and discrimination
rules under the Code.

(b)
Neither Company (including all employers, whether or not incorporated, that are treated together with such Company as a single
employer within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains or contributes to, and neither has maintained or contributed
to in the six years prior to Closing, an Employee Benefit Plan that is either (i) subject to Title IV of ERISA, (ii) a “multiemployer
plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA or (iii) subject to the minimum funding standards of Section 412 of the
Code or Section 302 of ERISA. No Employee Benefit Plan is a multiple employer plan within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the
Code. No Employee Benefit Plan is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA.


 


(c)
Each Employee Benefit Plan conforms to and has been operated and administered in material compliance with the requirements of
ERISA, the Code and all other applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of either Company, there are no facts relating to any Employee
Benefit Plan that (i) have resulted in a “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code
or Section 406 of ERISA) or otherwise have resulted in or could reasonably result in the imposition of an excise tax, penalty
or similar Liability under ERISA or the Code; (ii) have resulted in a breach of fiduciary duty or violation of Part 4 of Title
I of ERISA; or (iii) could reasonably result in any material Liability (whether or not asserted as of the date hereof) under ERISA,
the Code, any other applicable Laws or otherwise, other than Liability for benefit claims and funding obligations in the ordinary
course to the Purchaser. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of either Company, threatened claims (other than routine claims
for benefits) or lawsuits against or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plans. Neither Company has Knowledge of any governmental
audit or examination of any Employee Benefit Plan or of any facts that would reasonably lead it to believe that any such audit
or examination is pending or threatened.


 


(d)
Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and each related trust intended to be exempt under
Section 501 of the Code has been and is so qualified or exempt as of the date hereof, and each Company has received a current
favorable determination letter to such effect from the Internal Revenue Service or is properly relying on the Internal Revenue
Service opinion or advisory letter issued with respect to the qualification of a prototype plan document that such Company has
duly adopted. To the Knowledge of either Company, the amendments to and operation of any Employee Benefit Plan or related trust
since receipt of such letter do not materially adversely affect the qualified or exempt status of any such Employee Benefit Plan
or related trust.


 


(e)
All amounts required to have been paid as contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan have been paid within the time prescribed
by applicable Laws and the applicable plan documents. Neither Company has been delinquent as to premiums, reimbursements, accruals,
contributions or payments to or in respect of any Employee Benefit Plan. With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, there are
no funded benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no unfunded benefit
obligations that have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise noted on the Financial Statements. Each Company has furnished
or made available to the Purchaser complete financial information regarding the funding and present and future liabilities of
any and all deferred compensation, salary continuation, or other Employee Benefit Plans that are not intended to be qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code. No assets of either Company are allocated to or held in a “rabbi trust” or similar
funding vehicle.


 




    	24



     


    

 


(f)
Neither Company has made any promises or incurred any Liability under any Employee Benefit Plan or otherwise to provide health
or other welfare benefits to current or future retirees or other former employees of either Company (or to their spouses or dependents)
or to anyone else, except as specifically required by applicable Laws.


 


(g)
All group health plans of the either Company comply with the requirements of Part 6 of Title I of ERISA (“COBRA”),
Section 5000 of the Code, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996, and any other comparable Law. No Employee Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary
employee’s beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.


 


(h)
All nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements have been at all times in operational and documentary compliance
with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations, notices and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. All
options and equity awards have been granted at a per share exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of the
underlying equity security as of the date the option or award was granted, as determined in accordance with applicable Law, including
Section 409A of the Code.


 


(i)
Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or upon
the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) constitute an event under any Employee Benefit Plan that will or may result
in any payment (whether of change of control or severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting,
distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee of either Company. No payment or
benefit that will or may be made by the Company with respect to any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section
280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) will be characterized as a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)
of the Code. There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which either Company or any ERISA Affiliate is a party by
which any of them is bound to compensate any employee of either Company for excise Taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Code.


 


4.20
Insurance. Schedule 4.20 hereto contains a list of all insurance policies and bonds maintained by, or on behalf
of, either Company on its respective properties, operations, inventories, assets, business or personnel (specifying the insurer,
type of insurance, policy number and any pending claims). All such insurance policies (a) are valid, outstanding, and enforceable;
(b) are sufficient for compliance with all Laws and Contracts to which either Company is a party or by which it is bound; and
(c) will continue in full force and effect following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither
Company nor the Member has received any notice of cancellation or any other indication that any insurance policy is no longer
in full force or effect or will not be renewed or that the issuer of any policy is not willing or able to perform its obligations
thereunder. Each Company has paid all premiums due, and has otherwise performed all of its obligations, under each policy to which
such Company is a party or that provides coverage to such Company, or any of its directors, governors or managers. Each Company
has given notice to the insurer of all known claims that may be insured thereby.


 




    	25



     


    

 


4.21
Banks; Powers of Attorney. Schedule 4.21 sets forth (a) the names and locations of all banks, trust companies, savings
and loan associations and other financial institutions at which either Company maintains safe deposit boxes or accounts of any
nature to which it has access, and of all Persons authorized to draw thereon, make withdrawals therefrom or have access thereto;
and (b) the names of all Persons to whom either Company has granted a power of attorney.


 


4.22
Broker’s and Finder’s Fees. Neither Company has employed any broker or finder or incurred any Liability for
any financial advisory fees, commission or finder’s fee and no broker or finder has acted, directly or indirectly, for either
Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by it.


 


4.23
Affiliate Interests and Transactions.


 


(a)
Neither the Member nor any officer of either Company: (i) owns, directly or indirectly, any equity or other financial or voting
interest in any material supplier, licensor, lessor, distributor, independent contractor or customer of either Company; (ii) owns,
directly or indirectly, or has any interest in any property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) that either Company uses
in the Business; or (iii) has any business dealings or a financial interest in any transaction with either Company or involving
any assets or property of either Company, other than business dealings or transactions conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business
at prevailing market prices and on prevailing market terms.


 


(b)
There are no outstanding notes payable to, accounts receivable from or advances by either Company to, and neither Company is otherwise
a debtor or creditor of the Member or any officer of either Company. Neither Company has any obligation or Liability to, or entered
into or agreed to enter into any transaction with or for the benefit of, the Member or any officer of either Company, other than
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


4.24
Certain Payments. Since December 31, 2012, neither Company nor any director, officer, agent, employee of either Company
has, in violation of applicable Law, directly or indirectly made any contribution, gift, bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment,
kickback, or other payment to any Person, private or public, regardless of form, whether in money, property, or services, (a)
to obtain favorable treatment in securing business, (b) to pay for favorable treatment for business secured, or (c) to obtain
special concessions, or for special concessions already obtained, for or in respect of the Business.


 


4.25
Disclosure. No representation or warranty by either Company or the Member contained in this Agreement, and no statement
contained on the Schedules or any other agreements, documents and instruments delivered to or to be delivered by or on behalf

delivered by either Company in connection herewith, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
or will omit to state any material fact necessary, in light of the circumstances under which it was or will be made, in order

Purchaser Indemnitees incur as a result of, without duplication, (a) the breach of any of the representations and warranties made
by the Companies contained in Article 4 or made by the Member contained in Article 5; (b) the failure of the Member

7.3
Limits on Indemnification.


 


(a)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Member will not have any obligation to indemnify the Purchaser
Indemnitees under Section 7.1(a) unless and until the Purchaser Indemnitees suffer an aggregate amount of Losses by reason
of such matters in excess of $10,000 (the “Basket”), and then to the extent of such Losses from the first dollar
of the aggregate of such Losses without regard to the Basket; provided however, that the Basket will not apply to Losses resulting
from a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (Company Organization), 4.2 (Capitalization),
4.3 (Due Authorization; Execution and Enforceability; Consents; No Conflict), 4.4 (Equity Interests), 4.13
(Title to Assets; Adequacy), 4.17 (Taxes) or 4.22 (Broker’s and Finder’s Fees) (collectively, the “Fundamental
Representations”) or any claim related to, arising out of or based upon any fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation
by either Company or the Member.


 


(b)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the maximum obligation of the Member to indemnify the Purchaser
Indemnitees under Section 7.1(a) will not exceed $250,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the forgoing,
the Cap will not apply to Losses resulting from a breach of the Fundamental Representations or any claim related to, arising out
of or based upon any fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by either Company or the Member; provided,
however, that the maximum obligation of the Member to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for all Losses resulting from
a breach of the Fundamental Representations will not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price. Subject to the Cap, the Purchaser
will have the right to offset any Losses against payments that may become due to the Member under this Agreement.


 


(c)
The Purchaser will have the right to hold back, retain and/or offset any indemnifiable Losses, or any claims therefor, that any
Purchaser Indemnitees may have against any Earnout Payments due under Section 3.4.


 


(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the indemnification obligations under this Article
7, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or any certificate or schedule that are qualified
as to “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import or effect
will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification for the purposes of determining whether a breach or misrepresentation
has occurred and the amount of any Losses resulting from, arising out of, or relating to any such breach or misrepresentation;
provided, however, that the Member shall not have any liability for Damages pursuant to Section 7.1(a), unless and until
the Damages relating to a claim or a series of claims arising from the same or substantially similar facts or circumstances (other
than any claim for fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation) exceed $5,000.


 




    	30



     


    

 


(e)
A Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to indemnification and payment of Losses, or other remedy based on such representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired
(or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing
Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
The Parties recognize and agree that the representations and warranties also operate as bargained for promise and risk allocation
devices and that, accordingly, the Purchaser’s knowledge and the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation
or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification
or payment of Losses pursuant to this Article 7, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations


 


7.4
Indemnification Procedures.


 


(a)
Third Party Claims.


 


(i)
Notice. If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party of any matter that may give rise to a claim by such Indemnified
Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (a “Third Party Claim”) or if
an Indemnified Party otherwise has suffered or reasonably expects to suffer or incur a Loss, such Indemnified Party must give
the Indemnitor written notice of such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification (a “Claim Notice”)
promptly after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim (it being understood that any claim for
indemnity related to a breach of a representation or warranty must be made by notice given within the applicable survival period
specified in Section 7.5). Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the claim and the nature and amount
of such Loss that has been paid, incurred, sustained or accrued, or is reasonably expected to be paid, incurred, sustained or
accrued. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice under this Section 7.4(a)(i) will not affect any rights
to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure; provided, however,
that any claim for indemnity related to a breach of a representation or warranty must be made by notice given within the applicable
survival period specified in Section 7.5.


 


(ii)
Control of Defense; Settlement. An Indemnitor, at its option, may assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim
within 15 days of receiving notice of the Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party and may appoint as lead counsel of such
defense legal counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event an Indemnitor
assumes control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party (A) may participate in the defense of such claim
and employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified
Party’s own expense, and (B) will cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense of such Third Party Claim, at Indemnitor’s
expense. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the defense of such a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the
sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be withheld unreasonably); except that the
Indemnitor may enter into a settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party if the sole relief provided for in such settlement
is monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnitor.


 




    	31



     


    

 


(b)
Other Claims. Any Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2
by providing a Claim Notice to the Indemnitor (it being understood that any claim for indemnity related to a breach of a representation
or warranty must be made by notice given within the applicable survival period specified in Section 7.5). Such notice must
contain a reasonably detailed description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss that has been paid, incurred, sustained
or accrued, or is reasonably expected to be paid, incurred, sustained or accrued.


 


7.5
Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
Agreement will survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and continue in full force and effect
until December 31, 2020, except that the representations and warranties contained in (a) Sections 4.1 (Company Organization),
4.2 (Capitalization), 4.3 (Due Authorization; Execution and Enforceability; Consents; No Conflict), 4.4 (Equity
Interests), 4.13 (Title to Assets; Adequacy), 4.22 (Broker’s and Finder’s Fees), Article 5 and
Article 6 will survive indefinitely and (b) Section 4.17 (Taxes) will survive until 60 days following the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations. All of the covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement will
survive the Closing.


 


7.6
Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims related to, arising out of or based upon fraud, willful breach or intentional
misrepresentation or the availability of equitable remedies, as provided in Section 9.14, each of the Parties hereto acknowledges
and agrees that from and after the Closing, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 7 will be the exclusive
remedy of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Member Indemnitees arising under this Agreement (except for disputes under Section
3.3 or Section 3.4, which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in
those Sections, and Tax Matters as provided in Section 8.4(g)).


 


7.7
Disputes Regarding Indemnification. If the Purchaser and the Member are unable to resolve any dispute regarding this Article
7 within 30 days after the Purchaser notifies the Member or the Member notifies the Purchaser, as applicable, of such dispute
in writing, then either of such Parties may submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with this Section 7.7. The
arbitration of such dispute shall be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, or through electronic means, and the arbitrator shall be a Person
reasonably acceptable to both the Purchaser and the Member. The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing party in such arbitration will be entitled to be reimbursed for
reasonable fees and costs incurred by that party with respect to such arbitration. The determination and decision of the arbitrator
shall be final, non-appealable and binding upon the Purchaser and the Member.

8

Covenants and Agreements


 


8.1
Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party to this Agreement will, at the request of the other, furnish, execute
and deliver documents, instruments, certificates, notices of other further assurances as the requesting Party may reasonably request
as necessary or desirable to effect complete consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser shall provide the Member reasonable access to the business records of the Companies, and
to any employees of the Companies hired by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, as is reasonably necessary to perform any obligation
or defend any Third Party Claim for which the Member is responsible hereunder.


 


8.2
Confidentiality. The Member will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of
the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement or the Member’s employment under the Employment Agreement.
In the event that the Member is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding,
interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Member
will notify the Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that the Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order
or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.2. If such protective order is not obtained, or if and to the
extent Purchaser waives such prohibition, the Member may make such disclosure that, in the reasonable opinion of the Member’s
counsel is legally required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party to this Agreement (and
each employee, representative, and other agent of such Party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation, this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby for Tax reporting, legal advice and other similar purposes. There shall be no public
announcements of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without written consent of both the Purchaser and the
Member, unless such public announcement or disclosure is required by applicable Law (including the regulations of any applicable
stock exchange or other self-regulatory organization).


 


8.3
Restrictive Covenants.


 


(a)
Non-Competition. For a period of three years from the Closing Date, the Member will not, directly or indirectly, anywhere
in the United States (a) engage in any business or activity that competes with the Business, or (b) invest in, own, manage, operate,
finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person (other than the Purchaser) engaged in
or planning to become engaged in any business or activity that competes with the Business; provided, however, that
the Member may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) 2.5% of any class of the securities of any Person (but
may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities
exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 




    	33



     


    

 


(b)
Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. For a period of five years from the Closing Date, the Member will not, directly or indirectly:


 


(i)
solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to the Business;


 


(ii)
cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other
business relation of either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates to cease doing business with such parties, to deal with any
competitor of either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with its relationship with such parties;


 


(iii)
cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other
business relation of either Company on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business
with either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates, to deal with any competitor of either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates,
or in any way interfere with its relationship with such parties with respect to the Business; or


 


(iv)
hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates
(including any former employee or independent contractor if such Person was an employee or independent contractor of either Company,
the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within the 12-month period prior to such hiring, retention or attempt to hire or retain)
or in any way interfere with the relationship between either Company, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and any of their
respective employees or independent contractors.


 


(c)
Tolling. If the Member violates any provisions or covenants of this Section 8.3, the duration of the restrictions
in this Section 8.3 will be extended for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced
and ending when the activities constituting such violation terminated, and, in the event the Purchaser seeks relief from such
violation before any court, board or other tribunal, then the duration of restrictions in this Section 8.3 will be extended
for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including all appeals.


 


(d)
Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term
or provision contained in this Section 8.3 is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the court or tribunal
will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic 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. This Section 8.3 will be enforceable
as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. The Member acknowledges that this Section
8.3 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ legitimate business
interests.


 




    	34



     


    

 


(e)
Enforcement of Covenant. The Parties agree that the remedy of damages at law for the breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section 8.3 is an inadequate remedy and that the Member will not challenge the enforceability or reasonableness
of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.3. In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by the Member of
any of the covenants, agreements or obligations arising under this Section 8.3 would cause the Purchaser or its Affiliates,
the Member agrees that in addition to any other remedies or relief afforded by law, an injunction against an actual or threatened
violation or violations may be issued against the Member without posting a bond or other security. In the event of an action to
enforce the covenants in this Section 8.3, the Purchaser will be entitled to be reimbursed for attorney’s fees incurred
by the Purchaser with respect to such action. The Member acknowledges and expressly consents to the governing law and exclusive
jurisdiction provisions set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 with respect to this Section 8.3.


 


8.4
Post-Closing Actions Concerning Taxes.


 


(a)
Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns. The Member will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed (taking into
account all applicable extensions) with the applicable Governmental Authorities any Income Tax Returns required to be filed by
or with respect to the Companies for taxable years ending on or before the Closing Date. Such Income Tax Returns will be prepared
in a manner consistent with each Company’s past practice. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Parties agree that the Member will be entitled to claim all permitted Tax deductions related to the payment of all amounts payable
by or on behalf of either Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Debt of the Companies as of the Closing Date, and neither the Purchaser nor the Companies (or any of their
Affiliates) will claim such deductions for a Post-Closing Tax Period unless otherwise required by Law. The Purchaser must be provided
Income Tax Returns for taxable years ending on or before the Closing Date 30 days prior to the due date for such Income Tax Return,
in order for the Purchaser to review and approve such Income Tax Return prior to filing. Approval by the Purchaser will not be
unreasonably withheld. The Member will be responsible for any costs to prepare and file the Income Tax Returns.


 


(b)
Other Tax Returns. Except for the Tax Returns prepared by the Member pursuant to Section 8.4(a), each Company will
file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to such Company after the
Closing Date.


 


(c)
Apportionment of Taxes. All Taxes and Tax Liabilities with respect to the Companies that relate to a Straddle Period will
be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes that are
either (A) based upon or measured by reference to income, receipts, profits, capital or net worth (including sales and use Taxes),
(B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible),
or (C) required to be withheld, such Taxes will be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year ended at the
end of the day on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the Companies other
than those described in clause (i), such Taxes will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the
case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding 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.


 




    	35



     


    

 


(d)
Refunds. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies arising after the Closing Date that are attributable to the Pre-Closing
Tax Period will be for the account of the Member, and the Purchaser will pay to the Member any such refund or credit within 10
days after the receipt thereof or entitlement thereto, as applicable.


 


(e)
Amendments. Neither the Purchaser, either Company nor any of their Affiliates will, unless required by Law, (i) amend,
refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of either Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii)
make any Tax election that has retroactive effect with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) take any
action to extend the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Return of either Company, in each such case without
the prior written consent of the Member.


 


(f)
Tax Audits. Notwithstanding Section 7.4, this Section 8.4(f) will control any inquiries, assessments, proceedings
or similar events with respect to Taxes of the Companies (a “Tax Contest”) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period.
The Purchaser will promptly notify the Member (i) upon receipt by the Purchaser, either Company or any of their Affiliates of
any notice of any Tax Matter from any Governmental Authority or (ii) prior to the Purchaser or either Company initiating any Tax
Matter with any Governmental Authority. The Member may, at the Member’s sole expense, participate in and, upon written notice
to the Purchaser, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter. If the Member assumes such defense, the Member will have the authority,
with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the applicable Company before the relevant Governmental Authority
and the Member will have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding
to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency
or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, that the Member will not settle or resolve
any Tax Contest if such settlement or resolution has any adverse impact on the Purchaser or either Company for any Post-Closing
Tax Period without the Purchaser’s written consent. The Purchaser will cause the applicable Company to execute any powers
of attorney necessary to allow the Member to represent the interest of such Company in any such Tax Matter. The Member will keep
the Purchaser informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter, and will, in good faith, allow
the Purchaser to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding. If the Member does not elect
to assume the defense of a Tax Contest relating to a Tax Matter for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser and the applicable
Company will have the right to assume the defense of, and resolve and settle, such Tax Contest, provided that the Member will
indemnify and promptly reimburse the Purchaser and the applicable Company for the reasonable cost of such defense.


 




    	36



     


    

 


(g)
Certain Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all transfer, sale, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration,
documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative and filing fees arising in connection with the transfer of the
Membership Interests to the Purchaser will be the responsibility of the Company.


 


(h)
Indemnification Payments. For all relevant Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat any indemnification payments made under
this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.


 


(i)
Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Purchaser and the Member will cooperate, and will cause their respective Affiliates (including
the Companies), officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, with each other in preparing
and filing all Tax Returns, resolving all disputes relating to Taxes, and handling all proceedings, examinations, and audits relating
to Tax matters, including maintaining and making available all records necessary in connection with Tax-related matters and making
employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide any information and to assist in connection with the foregoing.
The Purchaser will, and will cause the Companies to, retain and not destroy or dispose of all Tax Returns (including supporting
materials), books and records (including computer files) of, or with respect to the activities or Taxes of, the Companies for
all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The Purchaser will not, nor will the Purchaser permit the Companies to, destroy or dispose of any
such Tax Returns, books or records unless it first offers such Tax Returns, books or records to the Member in writing and the
Member fails to accept such offer within 60 days of it being made.


 


8.5
Post-Closing Actions Concerning Employees and Employee Benefits.


 


(a)
Credited Service. The Purchaser will cause each employee benefit plan or program or service-based policy of Purchaser or
its Affiliate in which employees who continue to be employed by either Company, the Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing
are eligible to participate to take into account, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and levels of benefits thereunder, the
pre-Closing service of such employees as if such service were with the Purchaser or its Affiliates to the same extent that such
service was recognized by the Companies immediately prior to the Closing; provided that such credit does not result in duplication
of benefits. Prior service will be credited for benefit programs such as vacation, vesting in retirement plans and other services
related programs but will not be credited for determining benefits under the Purchaser’s pension plans.


 


(b)
Successor Medical Plan. In addition, if either Company or its employees commence participation in a medical plan sponsored
by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (a “Successor Medical Plan”), the Purchaser will (i) waive any pre-existing
condition exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, or waiting periods that are applicable to any employee who continues to be
employed by the Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing or their dependents or beneficiaries, and (ii) for the plan year
in which participation in a Successor Medical Plan commences, provide full credit for all payments made for healthcare expenses
for purposes of deductibles and out-of-pocket limits.


 




    	37



     


    

 


(c)
COBRA. Effective from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will be solely responsible for providing continuation benefits
or coverage for any participant or any beneficiary or a participant who is or becomes a qualified beneficiary prior to, on or
after the Closing Date under any Employee Benefit Plan of the Companies that as of the Closing Date is subject to COBRA or mandated
by other applicable Laws, including state Law, whether such obligation to provide continuation benefits or coverage under any
such Employee Benefit Plan of the Companies arises prior to, on or after the Closing Date.


 


8.6
Company Corporate Actions. All intercompany obligations between and among the Companies will be eliminated prior to the
Closing Date (and any Taxes due in connection therewith will be the responsibility of the Member).


 


8.7
Investment. The Purchaser and the Member understand that future growth depends on increasing sales and improving the supply
chain, which can include expanding manufacturing capacity and minimizing the dependency on third party manufacturers where rational.
The Purchaser will reimburse the Member for $51,000 of the cost of the Newly Purchased Capital Equipment within 30 days following
the Closing Date. In addition, the Purchaser and the Member will jointly review investment projects determined to have the potential
to stimulate future growth and the Purchaser will invest in projects deemed to have a positive return on investment, with an estimated
aggregate cost of $200,000. Examples of these possible investment projects include: (a) in the near term, the Companies will look
to expand laboratory and warehouse facilities and to bring the carbon block system on-line; and (b) the potential investment in
developing a proprietary filter manifold platform.


 


Article
9

Miscellaneous


 


9.1
Costs and Expenses. Except to the extent paid by the Companies prior to the Closing or as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
the Member will pay all expenses incurred on his or either Company’s behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including, without limitation all fees and expenses of their counsel and financial advisors, and the Purchaser
will pay all of its expenses relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation the fees
and expenses of its counsel and financial advisors.


 


9.2
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware,
regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. The Parties expressly waive
any right they may have, now or in the future, to demand or seek the application of a governing law other than the laws of the
State of Delaware.


 


9.3
Jurisdiction. The Parties expressly agree than any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only in a United States
District Court or any state court located in Delaware, so long as one of such courts will have subject matter jurisdiction over
such Proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement will be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of
business in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and
of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that
any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Proceeding may be
served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 9.6 will be deemed effective
service of process on such Party.

9.4
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY PROCEEDING (IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE)
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, ANY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
AND ANY DISPUTES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH
OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


9.5

9.7
Assignment; Parties in Interest. Except as permitted in this Section 9.7, neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights of the Parties hereunder may be transferred, assigned or pledged by any Party hereto, in whole or in part, and any attempted
assignment prohibited hereunder will be void. The Purchaser may, without the consent of either Company or the Member, assign,
by operation of law or otherwise, all or any part of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate; provided, however,
no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure
to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.


 


9.8
Counterparts; Electronic and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when executed and delivered will be an original, but all such counterparts will constitute one and the same instrument.
The exchange of executed copies of this Agreement by facsimile, email (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with
the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmissions will constitute effective execution and delivery
of this Agreement.


 


9.9
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated herein by
this reference, contains the entire understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This
Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, including
that certain Letter Agreement, dated November 20, 2018. In that this Agreement was prepared as a result of negotiation and mutual
agreement between the Parties hereto, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof will be construed against either Party hereto
as the Party that prepared this Agreement or any such provision.

9.10
Schedules. The Schedules attached hereto, together with all documents and instruments incorporated by reference therein,
form an integral part of this Agreement and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement wherever reference is made to them, to
the same extent as if they were set out in full at the point at which such reference is made. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no information disclosed on any Schedule will be, unless reasonably apparent on the face of such Schedule,
deemed to be disclosed on any other Schedule.


 


9.11
Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, will be valid
or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification,
discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver will constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in
such writing and will in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.
Neither the waiver by any of the Parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor
the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise
any right or privilege hereunder, will be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver
of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.


 


9.12
Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Party hereto intends that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause
of action in or on behalf of any Person other than the Parties hereto.


 


9.13
Severability. Any provision, or clause thereof, of this Agreement that will be found to be contrary to applicable Law or
otherwise unenforceable will not affect the remaining terms of this Agreement, which will be construed as if the unenforceable
provision, or clause thereof, were absent from this Agreement.


 


9.14
Specific Performance. Each of the Parties will have and retain all rights to specific performance and injunctive or other
equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each of the Parties acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened
breach of this Agreement and that irreparable harm would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, the
rights and obligations of the Parties will be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief will be granted in connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond
or other security or proving irrevocable harm and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at law. Each of the Parties agrees
that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when available pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
