MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Master Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) made as of February 1, 2012 and effective as of November 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Ventiv Commercial Services, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company with offices at 500 Atrium Drive, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 (“Ventiv”) and Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 9360 Towne Centre Drive, San Diego, CA 92121 (“Client”).  Ventiv and Client may each be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A.     Ventiv offers a wide range of services and offerings to clients in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology arena.

B.    Client hereby engages Ventiv, and Ventiv hereby accepts such engagement, to provide various types of services pursuant to the terms hereof and each separate project order (each a “Project Order”) to be executed by the Parties.  Client and Ventiv shall enter into a Project Order for each program they wish to be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

		
	1.
	Interpretation and Construction

(a)    The Parties desire for the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to govern the relationship between the Parties.  Unless otherwise specifically set forth in a Project Order, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in a Project Order, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall take precedence, govern and control.

(b)    The Parties hereby acknowledge that the terms set forth in this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into each Project Order, as if fully set forth at length therein.  

(c)    The Parties acknowledge that in addition to Ventiv, certain of Ventiv's Affiliates may provide certain services to Client and may directly enter into a Project Order with Client, subject to Client's prior written consent, pursuant to which such Ventiv Affiliate shall provide certain services to Client, as set forth in detail in said executed Project Order.  In such event, the Project Order shall confirm that this Agreement shall govern the relationship between Client and the particular Ventiv Affiliate, and such parties agree to be bound by the terms set forth herein.  Client agrees that Ventiv acts solely on its own behalf and shall not be liable, or otherwise responsible, for the acts and/or omissions of any Ventiv Affiliate under any circumstances in connection with any Project Order that is not signed by Ventiv.  Further, each Ventiv Affiliate acts solely on its own behalf and shall not be liable, or otherwise responsible, for the acts and/or omissions of Ventiv or any other Ventiv Affiliate under any circumstances in connection with this Agreement or any Project Order that is not signed by that Ventiv Affiliate.  As set forth above, the term Affiliate means, with respect to any entity, any other entity directly or indirectly, 

Page1 of 13

through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with such entity.  As used in this definition, the term “control” (including “controlled by” or “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, as trustee, by contract or otherwise.  Should any Ventiv Affiliate become debarred, Ventiv will promptly notify Client of the debarment and such Ventiv Affiliate will no longer be permitted to provide Services under this Agreement.

4.    Ventiv Personnel/Service Providers

(a)    Ventiv and its directors, officers, employees and any persons providing services under the Agreement and any Project Order shall not be considered employees of Client for any purpose whatsoever.  Persons provided by Ventiv to perform Services shall not be deemed employees of Client.  Neither this Agreement nor the Services to be rendered hereunder shall for any purpose whatsoever or in any way or manner create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship between Ventiv, its directors, officers, employees and any persons providing Services under the Agreement and Client.  Client understands that Ventiv may utilize independent contractors in connection with its performance of the Services.  Before allowing any independent contractor or employee to perform any part of the Services, Ventiv will enter into a binding written agreement with such independent contractor or employee that protects Client's rights and interests to at least the same degree as this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6 (Confidential Information) and Section 10 (Intellectual Property). Ventiv will at all times be responsible for ensuring its employees and independent contractors comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for ensuring that anyone providing the Services receives all required training.  
      
(b)    Ventiv is, and at all times shall remain, solely responsible for the human resource and performance management functions of all Ventiv personnel provided to perform the Services.  Ventiv shall be solely responsible and liable for all employment-related decisions and actions, including, but not limited to, all disciplinary, probationary and termination actions taken by it, and for the formulation, content and dissemination of all employment policies and rules (including written disciplinary, probationary and termination policies) applicable to its employees, agents and independent contractors (individually, a “Ventiv Employee” and collectively, “Ventiv Employees”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Ventiv Employee becomes debarred or violates Client's compliance requirements, Ventiv shall exclude such Ventiv Employee from continued performance of Services under this Agreement.

(c)    Ventiv shall obtain and maintain worker's compensation insurance and other insurances required for Ventiv Employees performing the Services and acknowledges that Client does not, and shall not obtain or maintain such insurances, all of which shall be Ventiv's sole responsibility.

(d)    Ventiv acknowledges and agrees that Ventiv Employees are not, and are not intended to be or to be treated as, employees of Client and that no such individual is, or is 

Page4 of 13

intended to be, eligible to participate in any benefits programs or in any Client “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (“Client's Benefits Plan”).  

(e)     Except as otherwise set out in this Agreement or in a Project Order, Client shall have no responsibility to Ventiv or any Ventiv Employee for any compensation, expense reimbursements or benefits (including, without limitation, vacation and holiday remuneration, healthcare coverage or insurance, life insurance, pension, retirement or profit-sharing benefits and disability benefits), payroll-related or withholding taxes, or any governmental charges or benefits (including, without limitation, unemployment and disability insurance contributions or benefits and workers compensation contributions or benefits) that may be imposed upon or be related to the performance by Ventiv or its employees, agents or contractors of the obligations under this Agreement or any Project Order, all of which shall be the sole responsibility of Ventiv.  To clarify, Client will not withhold any income tax or payroll tax of any kind on behalf of Ventiv.
(f)     Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, Ventiv shall have no obligation or responsibility for any damages, liability, loss and costs, including but not limited to attorneys fees (collectively, “Liability”) to the extent such Liability is attributed exclusively to either: (i) discriminatory or intentional acts of Client, its employees or agents; or (ii) any benefits payable under any Client Benefits Plan, and any other bonus, stock option, stock purchase, incentive, deferred compensation, supplemental retirement, severance and other similar fringe or employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements that may be sponsored at any time by Client that cause, or are either alleged to cause or interpreted by any court or regulatory authority to cause, any Ventiv employee to be reclassified as an employee of Client. In the event any Liability is alleged against Ventiv or its employees which is attributable exclusively to the discriminatory or intentional acts of Client, Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ventiv and its directors, officers and employees subject to the provisions of Section 8 below.  

5.    Ventiv Compensation

(a)    In consideration of the performance of the Services, Client shall pay Ventiv the fees, costs and expenses (collectively, the “Fees”) as set forth in each Project Order.  Ventiv shall bill Client monthly in advance and invoices shall be sent by Ventiv to Client on a monthly basis for the Fees for Services.    

(b)    In addition to the Fees set forth in a Project Order, certain necessary and reasonable expenses will be charged to Client on a pass-through basis.  These expenses will be billed to Client at actual cost incurred by Ventiv.  Pass-through costs specific to a particular Service shall be set forth in the Project Order.  

(c)    Payments are due within thirty (30) days of Client's receipt of each applicable invoice from Ventiv.  

(d)    If Client is or should become subject to a federally mandated Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA), and Ventiv is required to provide significant extra data, training, oversight or 

Page5 of 13

certifications, this shall be considered out of the scope of services being provided pursuant to a Project Order and the Parties will negotiate an additional fee, if warranted..

(e)    In the event Client will be issuing purchase orders for payment of Ventiv invoices, Client shall issue such purchase orders in a timely manner in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.  The Parties understand and agree that all terms and conditions set forth in a purchase order are null and void, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement provides the terms and conditions governing the relationship between the Parties.

Any material or media not subject to return must be destroyed.   The Receiving Party shall not disclose to third parties any Confidential Information or any reports, recommendations, conclusions or other results of work under this Agreement without prior consent of an officer of the Disclosing Party.

	8.
	Indemnification  

(a)    Ventiv shall indemnify and hold Client, its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and defend them against any and all third party liabilities, losses, proceedings, suits, actions, damages, claims or expenses of any kind, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, “Losses”) which are caused by: (i) any negligent or willful acts or omissions by Ventiv, its agents, directors, officers, employees, independent contractors or Affiliates and (ii) any material breach of this Agreement or any Project Order by Ventiv, its agents, directors, officers, employees, independent contractors or Affiliates.

(c)      In case any action, proceeding or claim shall be brought against one of the parties hereto (an "Indemnified Party") based upon any of the above Claims and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the other party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party") such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing.  The failure by an Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of such Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of responsibility under this Section, except to the extent such failure adversely prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim.  The Indemnifying Party at its expense, with counsel of its own choice, shall defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any such claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim which could lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party's 

Page8 of 13

prior written consent.  The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of any claim with counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.  The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such claims.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of any claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such claim with counsel of its choosing.

(d)    Client shall reimburse Ventiv for all reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Ventiv in connection with responses to subpoenas and other similar legal orders issued to Ventiv in respect to Client's product or the Services performed under this Agreement and the applicable Project Order.

9.    Limitation of Liability
Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party with respect to any subject matter of this Agreement or any Project Order under any contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty (express or implied) or other theory for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, nor for any loss of revenues or loss of profits, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.  For clarification, this limitation shall not apply to the parties indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8 above.

Without Amylin's written permission, I will not publish, use, copy, retain possession of or disclose (directly or indirectly) in any way to anyone any Confidential Information.  I will not improperly make use of Amylin's Confidential Information, both during my employment with inVentiv and at any time after my employment with inVentiv.  Upon completion of any assignment and/or termination of my providing service to Amylin, I will return to Amylin all of its Confidential Information and property.

7.

(e)               
At the Closing, the Seller shall cause the German Selling Subsidiary, and the Buyer shall cause the German purchasing entity
to be incorporated, the “German Purchasing Subsidiary”), to execute and deliver the German Asset Purchase Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “German Asset Purchase Agreement”).

Section 2.9           
Adjustment of Cash Purchase Price.

(a)               
Following the Closing, the Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided herein to reflect the difference, if any, between
Closing Working Capital and Target Closing Working Capital.

(i)                
Promptly following the Closing Date (and in any event within ninety (90) days of such date), the Buyer shall cause to be
prepared as of the Closing Date and shall deliver to Seller a statement of Closing Working Capital as of the open of business on
the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), prepared in accordance with GAAP and consistent
with the preparation of the Financial Statements, and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of accounting
adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii)              
If the Closing Working Capital as calculated from the Closing Working Capital Statement as finally determined pursuant to
Section 2.9(a)(iii) is less than the Target Closing Working Capital, then, no later than five (5) Business Days after the final
determination of Closing Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.9(a)(iii), Seller shall pay to the Parent an amount equal to the absolute amount of any such shortfall (the “Downward
Adjustment Amount”). In the event of a Downward Adjustment Amount, the Parent shall deliver written notice to the Escrow
Agent and the Seller specifying the amount of such adjustment, and the Escrow Agent shall pay the Downward Adjustment Amount out
of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Parent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Adjustment
Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Downward Adjustment Amount, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute
the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Parent as provided in the Escrow Agreement, and the Seller, on or prior to the same date
as the Escrow Agent distributes the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Parent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shall pay an amount
to the Parent equal to the amount of such deficiency. In the event that the Seller shall fail to pay the amount of such deficiency
within the time period specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parent may deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent
and the Seller specifying such amount, and the Escrow Agent shall pay such amount out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Parent
in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and the Seller (i) shall promptly restore the Indemnity Escrow Fund
to the extent any funds are so paid and (ii) shall remain liable in the event the Indemnity

    	18

    	 

    
Escrow
Fund is insufficient to cover the amount of such deficiency. No failure on the part of the Parent to deliver a notice as specified
in the immediately preceding sentence shall relieve the Seller of the obligation to pay the amount of such deficiency to the Parent.
In the event that the amount of funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund exceeds the amount of the Downward Adjustment Amount provided
for in this Section 2.9(a)(ii), then the Escrow Agent, after paying the Downward Adjustment Amount to the Parent as provided herein, shall
pay the remaining amount of funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Seller.

(iii)            
The Closing Working Capital Statement (and the applicable computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon) delivered
by Buyer to the Seller shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Seller, within forty-five (45) days following
receipt by the Seller of the Closing Working Capital Statement, notifies Buyer and the Parent in writing that the Seller disputes
any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature and amount of the dispute and the basis therefore. The parties shall
in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the parties so resolve all disputes, the Closing Working Capital Statement
(and the applicable computation of the Closing Working Capital indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect
the resolution of the dispute(s), shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving
the dispute(s) within forty-five (45) days after notice is given by the Seller to Buyer and the Parent pursuant to the second preceding
sentence, the parties shall submit the remaining dispute(s) to the New York, New York office of the accounting firm of KPMG or,
if no partner at such firm will act, to a partner at such other internationally recognized independent accounting firm selected
by the Parent and the Seller (the “Arbiter”), for resolution. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of
a partner at an independent accounting firm to act as Arbiter, the parties shall request the American Arbitration Association to
appoint such a person, and such appointment shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Promptly, but no later than sixty (60)
days after acceptance of his or her appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such
determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by
Parent and the Seller made within thirty (30) days after selection, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute(s)
and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute(s) and the resulting computation of the applicable Closing
Working Capital and any disputed components thereof, which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. All proceedings conducted
by the Arbiter shall take place in The City of New York. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (i) shall be bound by
the provisions of this Section 2.9 and (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by
either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter
shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Arbiter’s determination
(before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Arbiter. For example,
should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Arbiter awards $600 in favor of the Seller’s position, sixty
percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Seller.

Business or by any Asset Seller in connection with the Business or involving any Purchased Assets, and neither the Business nor
the Asset Sellers in connection with the Business is or are otherwise a debtor or creditor of, or has any liability or other obligation
of any nature to, any Related Party of the Seller. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, neither the Business nor the Seller in

Ancillary Agreements.

Section 3.26       
Insurance. Section 3.26 of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a true and complete list of all material casualty, general liability,
product liability and all other types of insurance maintained with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets, together with
the carriers and liability limits for each such policy. All such policies are in full force and effect and no application therefor
included a material misstatement or omission. All premiums with respect thereto have been paid to the extent due. No unrescinded
notice of cancellation, termination or reduction of coverage has been received with respect to any such policy. No claim relating
directly or primarily to the Business or the Purchased Assets currently is pending under any such policy involving an amount in
excess of $250,000. Section 3.26 of the Disclosure Schedules identifies which insurance policies are “occurrence” or “claims
made” and which Person is the policy holder. All significant insurable risks in respect of the Business and the Purchased
Assets are covered by such insurance policies and the types and amounts of coverage provided therein are commercially reasonable
in the context of the Business and the Purchased Assets. The activities and operations of the Business have been conducted in a
manner so as to conform in all material respects to all applicable provisions of such insurance policies. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will not cause a cancellation or reduction in the coverage
of such policies.

Section 3.27       
Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Seller.

or warranty with respect to Seller, the Asset Sellers, the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or with respect
to any other information provided to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.28, the scope of the representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement, nor the absence of any representation and warranty from this Agreement shall limit, modify or otherwise
affect any claim or cause of action of Buyer based on fraud.

to obtain such books and records, at least ninety (90) days prior to the destruction thereof.

Section 5.3

to disclose the existence of these provisions, including in response to any initial unsolicited expression of an Acquisition Proposal,

it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding two sentences by any officer, director or employee
of any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of any
Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.6 by the Sellers.

(b)              
In addition to the obligations of the Sellers set forth in Section 5.6(a), the Sellers as promptly as practicable shall advise the Buyer in writing of any Acquisition Proposal or

any such request, inquiry or Acquisition Proposal so long as the Buyer agrees to keep such information confidential with respect
to any third party in accordance with that certain Confidentiality

    	44

    	 

    
Agreement
dated as of October 19, 2011 by and between the Seller and Michael J. Joyce (the “Joyce Confidentiality Agreement”).
The Sellers shall keep the Buyer informed on a current basis of the status and details (including any material amendments or proposed
amendments) of any such request, inquiry or Acquisition Proposal.

(c)               
If the Seller breaches the provisions of this Section 5.6, and the Closing should not take place as a result, the Seller shall pay to the Parent an amount equal to
the fees (including but not limited to all accounting, due diligence and legal fees), charges, disbursements and third party expenses
incurred by the Parent, the Buyer or any of their Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 5.7           
Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a)               
For a period of five (5) years following the Closing, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly
or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement:

(i)                
engage in any business anywhere in the Territory that manufactures, produces or supplies products or services of the kind
currently manufactured, produced or supplied by the Business (a “Competing Business”), or perform management,
executive or supervisory functions with respect to, own, operate, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic
benefit from, exert any influence upon, participate in, render services or advice to, or allow any of its officers or employees
to be connected as an officer, employee, partner, member, stockholder, consultant or otherwise with, any Person engaged in a Competing
Business; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 5.7, (A) ownership of securities having no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding voting power of any
competitor which are listed on any national securities exchange or (B) provision by Seller or any of its Affiliates of products
or services that are not of a kind currently manufactured, produced or supplied by the Business to any Person for use in a business
that is not a Competing Business, whether or not such Person otherwise engages in a Competing Business, shall not be deemed to
be a violation of this Section 5.7;

(ii)              
solicit, recruit or hire any person who at any time on or after the date of this Agreement is a Business Group Employee
(as hereinafter defined); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) a general solicitation to the public of
general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Business Group Employees or
(B) the Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Business Group Employee who has ceased to
be employed or retained by the Seller, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates for at least twelve (12) months. For purposes
of this Section 5.7, “Business Group Employees” means, collectively, officers, directors and employees of
the Seller, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates who work or are engaged exclusively or primarily in the Business, and persons
acting under any management, service, consulting, distribution, dealer or similar contract exclusively or primarily in the Business;

(iii)            
approach or seek Competing Business from any Customer (as hereinafter defined), refer Competing Business from any Customer
to any Person or be paid commissions based on Competing Business sales received from any Customer by any Person.

    	45

    	 

    
For purposes
of this Section 5.7, the term “Customer” means any Person to which the Seller or any of its Affiliates
provided products or services of the kind currently manufactured, produced or supplied by the Business during the thirty-six (36)
month period prior to the time at which any determination shall be made that any such Person is a Customer; provided that the
foregoing shall not prohibit any referral of business by the Seller to the Buyer; or

(iv)            
disparage the Business, any of the Purchased Assets or the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in any way that could adversely
affect the goodwill, reputation or business relationships of the Business, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates with the public generally,
or with any of their customers, suppliers or employees.

(b)              
The Seller acknowledges that the covenants of the Seller set forth in this Section 5.7 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by the Seller of any provision of this Section
5.7 will result in irreparable injury to the Buyer. The Seller acknowledges that in the event of such a breach,
in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief,
and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom, as well as such other damages as may
be appropriate.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 5.7 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties that these provisions shall be construed
by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Seller’s conduct that are reasonable in light of
the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Buyer the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a
court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 5.7 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Buyer the intended benefits
of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit
the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding,
from this Agreement.

Section 5.8           
Notification of Certain Matters; Supplements to Disclosure Schedules.

(a)               
The Seller shall give prompt written notice to the Buyer of (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any change, condition
or event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would render any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, if made on or immediately following the date of such event, untrue or inaccurate, (ii) the
occurrence of any change, condition or event that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) any
failure of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder or any event or condition that would otherwise result in the nonfulfillment of any of the conditions
to the Buyer’s obligations hereunder, (iv) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent
of such Person is or may be required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the Ancillary Agreements or (v) any Action pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened against a party or the
parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

    	46

    	 

    
(b)              
The Seller shall supplement the information set forth on the Disclosure Schedules with respect to any matter now existing
or hereafter arising that, if existing or occurring at or prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set
forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules or that is necessary to correct any information in the Disclosure Schedules or in
any representation or warranty of the Seller which has been rendered inaccurate thereby promptly following discovery thereof. No
such supplement shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement
or have any effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 or the compliance by the Seller with any covenant set forth herein.

Section 5.9           
Payment of Liabilities. The Seller shall pay or otherwise satisfy in the ordinary course of business, prior to the
Closing, all of the liabilities and obligations incurred in connection with the Business and, after the Closing, the Excluded Liabilities.

Section 5.10       
Bulk Transfer Laws. The Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Seller with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer
laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer (other than any obligations with respect
to the application of the proceeds therefrom). Pursuant to Article VIII, the Seller has agreed to indemnify the Buyer against any and all liabilities that may be asserted by third
parties against the Buyer as a result of the Seller’s noncompliance with any such law.

Section 5.11       
Employee Matters.

(a)               
Except as specifically provided in this Section 5.11 : (i) the Buyer shall not adopt, become a sponsoring employer of, or have any obligations under or with
respect to the Employee Plans, and the Seller shall be solely responsible for any and all liabilities and obligations that have
been incurred or may be incurred under or in connection with any Employee Plan; (ii) the Seller shall be solely responsible
for any and all liabilities arising out of or relating to the employment of Business Employees who do not become Transferring Employees
(as defined below), whether such liabilities arise before, on or after the Closing Date; and (iii) the Seller shall be solely
responsible for any and all liabilities arising out of or relating to the employment of any Transferring Employee before the date
such employee actually commences work with the Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.11(b). For purposes hereof, with respect to the Welfare Plans, claims under any medical, dental, vision, or prescription
drug plan generally will be deemed to be incurred on the date that the service giving rise to such claim is performed and not when
such claim in made; provided, however, that with respect to claims relating to hospitalization, the claim will be
deemed to be incurred on the first day of such hospitalization and not on the date that such services are performed. Claims for
disability under any long or short term disability plan will be incurred on the date the Business Employee is first absent from
work because of the condition giving rise to such disability and not when the Business Employee is determined to be eligible for
benefits under the applicable Welfare Plan.

(b)              
The Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, extend offers of employment to each Business Employee listed on
Schedule 3.9(a) of the Disclosure Schedules who is actively at work as of the date of this Agreement (all such employees
who accept the Buyer’s offer of employment are referred to as the “Transferring Employees”). For purposes

    	47

    	 

    
of this
Agreement, any Business Employee who is not at work on the date of this Agreement due to a short-term absence (including due to
vacation, holiday, jury duty, illness, authorized short-term leave of absence or short-term disability) shall be deemed to be
“actively at work”; provided that any such individuals that are on authorized short-term leave of absence or
short-term disability shall not be deemed to constitute “Transferring Employees” until such time as they return to
active employment. The Seller shall terminate the employment of all Business Employees who do not become Transferring Employees
on the Closing date, immediately after the Closing, or at such other time as Buyer and Seller shall agree, and shall cooperate
with and use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Buyer in its efforts to secure satisfactory employment arrangements with
those Business Employees to whom the Buyer makes offers of employment.

(c)               
The Seller shall comply with the requirements of the WARN Act or any similar state, provincial or local law with respect
to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff”, as those terms are defined in the WARN Act or such other applicable
law, which may result from the Seller’s termination of the employment of any of its employees in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby through the Closing Date.

(d)              
The Seller and its ERISA Affiliates shall comply with the provisions of COBRA, as set forth in Section 4980B of the Code
and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, with respect to any employee, former employee or beneficiary of any such employee or former employee
who is covered under any group health plan, as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code (a “Group Health Plan”),
maintained by the Seller and its ERISA Affiliates as of the Closing Date or whose “qualifying event” within the meaning
of Section 4980B(f) of the Code occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, whether pursuant to the provisions of COBRA or otherwise.
The Buyer shall ensure that its Group Health Plans comply with the provisions of COBRA with respect to Transferring Employees who
are covered under such Group Health Plans maintained by the Buyer after the Closing Date and who experience a “qualifying
event” after the Closing Date.

(e)               
Following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, pursuant to plans and arrangements established or maintained by the Buyer,
offer the Transferring Employees such benefits, taken as a whole, that are substantially similar to those provided by Seller prior
to the Closing Date. For greater certainty, in respect of any Transferring Employees employed in Canada, Buyer shall not be required
to offer or provide a “registered pension plan”, as that term is defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act
(Canada).

(f)               
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Transferring Employee, any beneficiary
or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions
of employment and benefits that may be provided to any Transferring Employee by the Buyer or under any benefit plan that the Buyer
may maintain.

(g)              
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferring Employee any right with respect to continued employment
by the Buyer, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of the Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferring Employee
at any time, with or without cause, following the effective date of his or her employment with the Buyer, or restrict the Buyer
in the exercise of its independent business

    	48

    	 

    
judgment
in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment of the Transferring Employees.

Section 5.12       
Confidentiality.

(a)               
Until the Closing Date, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential,
disclose only to its Affiliates or Representatives and use only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements all information and data obtained by them from the other party or its Affiliates or Representatives
relating to such other party, the Business or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than information or data that is or becomes
available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section), unless disclosure of such information or data is required
by applicable Law. In the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party shall, and shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, promptly return to the other party or destroy
all documents (including all copies thereof) containing any such information or data.

(b)              
For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and the Seller shall cause its Affiliates
and the respective Representatives of the Seller and its Affiliates not to, use for its or their own benefit or divulge or convey
to any third party, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Seller or its Affiliates may furnish
such portion (and only such portion) of the Confidential Information as the Seller or such Affiliate reasonably determines it is
legally obligated to disclose if: (i) it receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under
the terms of a subpoena, civil investigative demand or order issued by a Governmental Authority; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent
with such request, it notifies the Buyer of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request and consults with the
Buyer on the advisability of taking steps available under applicable Law to resist or narrow such request; (iii) it exercises
its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded
to the disclosed Confidential Information; and (iv) disclosure of such Confidential Information is required to prevent the
Seller or such Affiliate from being held in contempt or becoming subject to any other penalty under applicable Law. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of all information and data relating to the Business
(including Intellectual Property, customer and supplier lists, pricing information, marketing plans, market studies, client development
plans, business acquisition plans and all other information or data), the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated hereby,
except for data or information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section
5.12(b).

(c)               
Effective as of the Closing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Buyer all of the Seller’s right, title and interest
in and to any confidentiality agreements entered into by the Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) and each Person (other
than the Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives) who entered into any such agreement or to whom Confidential Information
was provided in connection with any transaction involving the acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the Business or
the Purchased Assets. From and after the Closing, the Seller will take all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer in order to
assist in enforcing the rights so assigned. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Person to
return to the Seller any documents, files, data or other materials

    	49

    	 

    
constituting
Confidential Information that was provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such transaction.

Section 5.13       
Consents and Filings. The Seller and the Buyer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to
be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or
otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly
as practicable, including to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations,
qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, and (ii) have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any order, decree, ruling, judgment, injunction or other
action (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is then in effect and that enjoins, restrains, conditions, makes illegal
or otherwise restricts or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Seller shall permit the Buyer reasonably to participate in the defense
and settlement of any claim, suit or cause of action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the
Seller shall not settle or compromise any such claim, suit or cause of action without the Buyer’s written consent. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer shall not be required by this Section 5.13 to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order
or other arrangement, that would (A) require the divestiture of any assets of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any portion
of the Business or the Purchased Assets or (B) limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to
consolidate and control, the Business or the Purchased Assets or any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other assets
or businesses.

Section 5.14       
Public Announcements. On and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, the parties shall consult with each
other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other
party’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no such approval shall be necessary
to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement of any party hereto.

Section 5.15       
Compliance with Laws. The Seller shall comply in all material respects with all applicable law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order, writ or injunction of any court or Governmental Authority with respect to the Business
or the Purchased Assets or as may be required for the valid and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer as contemplated
by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1           
Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of law imposing the burden of Transfer Taxes on any Party, all federal
and state and local transfer, sales and use Taxes resulting from the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets contemplated hereby
(collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by the Buyer and Parent on the one hand 

    	50

    	 

    
and the
Seller on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
term “Transfer Taxes” include any federal, state or local income Taxes of any Seller. Each Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of all such Transfer Taxes and shall reasonably cooperate in providing each other with
any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation. The Party that is required by applicable law
to make the filings, reports or returns and to handle any audits or controversies with respect to any applicable Transfer Taxes
shall do so, and the other Party shall cooperate with respect thereto as reasonably requested by the other Parties.

Section 6.2           
Apportionment of Certain Taxes to Pre-Closing Period. For purposes of allocating any real property Taxes and other
Taxes imposed on a periodic basis between Seller and Buyer, Seller shall be responsible for Taxes allocable to Tax periods prior
to and including the Closing Date on a per diem basis and Buyer shall be responsible for Taxes allocable on a per diem basis to
the period beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

Section 6.3           
Tax Cooperation. Each of the parties and their Affiliates shall provide the other party with such information and
records and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available as may reasonably be requested by such other party
in connection with the preparation of any Return or any audit or other proceeding that relates to the Purchased Assets or the Businesses.

(a)               
At the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall deliver copies of, and assign or cause to be assigned, all sales Tax exemption
certificates and similar certifications from customers of the Businesses to Buyer or its Affiliates; provided, however, that if
any such exemption certificates and similar certifications are not assignable to Buyer or its Affiliates, then Seller and its Affiliates
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in securing new exemption certificates in respect thereof.

indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice thereof
to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) and shall provide the Indemnifying
Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and of its claims of indemnification
with respect thereto. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all
Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim to the extent provided in and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the
Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party
and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed
by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the

    	56

    	 

    
Indemnifying
Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such
Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.4(b), the
Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and
to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party
unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii)
the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying
Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not
defending such Third Party Claim in the good faith determination of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information
in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required
by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry
of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission
of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from
all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party
other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

(c)               
The indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim shall be made by prompt payment by the Indemnifying
Party of the amount of actual Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses
incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, together with interest on any amount not repaid as necessary to the Indemnified
Party by the Indemnifying Party within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Losses, from the date such Losses
have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, at the rate of interest described in Section 2.9(a)(iii). In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Article VIII, the Buyer (and each of its directors, officers, employees, representatives and other Affiliates) shall have
the right to recover Losses from the Escrowed Funds to the extent available and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Without
limiting the foregoing, the ability of Buyer to recover for any Losses under this Article VIII shall represent an express contract right to recover against the Escrowed Funds and nothing in this Article
VIII shall be deemed to require Buyer to obtain jurisdiction over the Seller, or pursue any process in connection
therewith beyond that expressly required by the terms of this Article VIII. Any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VIII of the Buyer shall be paid in cash. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible the payment of
any indemnity hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer hereunder for Tax purposes. As
used herein, the term “Net Losses” shall mean the amount of any Losses indemnified under this Article, calculated after
giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from an unaffiliated

    	57

    	 

    
insurance
carrier with respect to such Losses (net of any increase in premiums or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
recovering such insurance proceeds), and (ii) any actual recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates)
from any third party in respect of such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain proceeds,
benefits and recoveries referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are
received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any such Losses after an Indemnifying Party (or such
Affiliate) shall have made a payment to the Indemnified Party under this Article, the Indemnified Party shall return the amount
of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries to the Indemnifying Party (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment
and taking into account any net increase in premiums or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with recovering such
insurance proceeds and any net Tax cost to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries and the
return of such payment (or a portion thereof) to the Indemnifying Party). No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover from
an Indemnifying Party more than once in respect of the same Loss.

(d)              
The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before
action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.

(e)               
In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a
Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver
notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not
release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant
to this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt
of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified by the
Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying
Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an
indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party,
the Indemnifying Party shall pay such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified
Party’s claim for the difference. In order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Article
VIII, the Buyer (and each of its directors, officers, employees, representatives and other Affiliates) shall have
the right to recover Losses from the Escrowed Funds to the extent available and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Without
limiting the foregoing, the ability of Buyer to recover for any Losses under this Article VIII shall represent an express contract right to recover against the Escrowed Funds and nothing in this Article
VIII shall be deemed to require Buyer to obtain jurisdiction over the Seller, or pursue any process in connection
therewith beyond that expressly required by the terms of this Article VIII. Any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VIII of the Buyer shall be paid in cash. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible the payment of
any indemnity hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid by the Buyer hereunder for Tax purposes.

    	58

    	 

    
(f)               
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.9, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action
in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party
may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served
on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

Section 8.5           
Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) an Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying
Party equals or exceeds $300,000, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the amount of such Losses in excess
of such amount, and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnified Party
arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price; provided that the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the untruth or breach of any representation or warranty
made in any Core Representation or in Section 3.18 relating to environmental matters, or to any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or intentional breach. The Indemnified Party may not make a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), as the case may be, for breach by the Indemnifying Party of a particular representation or warranty after
the expiration of the survival period thereof specified in Section 8.1, except as otherwise provided in such Section.

Section 8.6           
Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
the Buyer expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach
of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to or knowledge
of such party in respect of any facts or circumstances that reveal the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the
execution and delivery hereof, other than facts or circumstances to the extent set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (but only to
the specifically identified Sections or subsections to which such disclosure relates and such disclosure shall not qualify any
other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement).

Section 8.7           
Indemnity Escrow Fund. The Buyer hereby agrees that it shall first seek a remedy from the Indemnity Escrow Fund,
to the extent of the amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, with respect to any indemnification claim asserted hereunder
before seeking to recover any Losses directly from the Seller.

(i) by the Seller, if the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties

provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available if the failure of
the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have
resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; and provided further, that, in the event that the condition
set forth in Section 7.3(b) has not been met as of the Outside Date, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended for no more than

shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with Section 5.13, to have such order, decree, ruling or other action vacated; or

(e)               
The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(a)) shall
give prompt written notice of such termination to the other party.

How to determine current assets and liabilities in the categories
listed above

 

    	68

    	 

    
Prepaid Expenses:

 

A prepaid expense is an item paid and recorded in advance of its
use or consumption in the business, part of which represents expense of the current period and part of which represents an asset
on hand at the end of the period.

 

PrimaLoft has made arrangements with certain toll manufacturers
to provide volume rebates based on the production and shipment of finished goods to customers on an annual basis. As reaching the
production levels set forth in the contract at Waitake is more than probable, an asset has been created to recognize the accumulation
of the volume rebate on a monthly rebate at a rate of 18% of the projected production volume. The rebate for the prior year product
shipped is determined in April of the following year, and deducted as a credit against monthly invoices in the months of May through
August.

 

The portion of prepaid items in excess of 12 months should be classified
as Other Assets.

 

Accounts Payable:

 

Accounts payable includes all liabilities for goods received from
or services performed by non-AI companies and for which an invoice has been received. These liabilities include amounts withheld
from employee wages and salaries, and employer liabilities which are based on wages and salaries.

 

Examples include but are not limited to:

  Accounts payable - trade

  Amounts withheld from employees pay:

    Contributions

    Savings (401-K)

    Taxes

  Employer liabilities relative to wages and
salaries paid

currency payables must be revalued at the end of each month using the current exchange rate issued by AI Headquarters. It is AI
policy to make an accrual at each quarter-end for routine expenses (i.e. office supplies, subscriptions, travel, electricity, telephone,
etc) in cases where the invoices have not been received before the quarter-end. These accruals are considered accrued AP and should
be reversed after the quarter-end and then analyzed and made again during the next quarterly close.

 

Accrued Liabilities:

 

This balance represents estimated liabilities recorded for income
statement timing purposes and are expected to be paid within 12 months. Accrued liabilities should not include items for which
invoices have been received.

Accounts receivable:

 

Trade accounts and notes receivable are amounts due from customers
for shipments or services rendered on or before the balance sheet date with terms of less than 12 months. Unless a customer has
specifically authorized billing and requested that merchandise be held for future delivery, amounts should be recorded after shipment.
Trade receivables denominated in currencies other than an entity's functional currency must be revalued at the end of each month
at the current exchange rate issued by AI Headquarters.

 

Other receivables include amounts due within 12 months from entities
and individuals other than customers and other AI operations. Other receivables include but are not limited to items such as interest,
dividends, rent, claims against transportation companies and insurance companies, scrap sales, income taxes, royalties, value added
tax, etc.

 

A reserve for doubtful accounts represents an amount determined
to be potentially uncollectible from customers. The balance should be comprised of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves
are calculated on individual customer accounts based on past experience and the customer's current financial condition. General
reserves are calculated excluding the accounts that relate to specific reserves and applying an historical loss rate to the remaining
balance.

 

 

Inventories:

 

Inventory balances (raw material, work-in-process, and finished
goods) are required to be stated at the lower of cost or market value.

As all PrimaLoft production is conducted by third party toll manufacturers,
work in process and finished goods inventories are valued at the cost of raw material, plus toll manufacturing labor cost per unit.
No additional costs are added in for OH or burden.

 

Inventories are fully reserved for items that have specifically
been identified as off quality un-saleable to the trade community.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the earnings
process be complete prior to recognition of a sale. The earnings process is complete:

evidence of an arrangement (contract) exists

delivery has occurred

selling price is fixed

collectability is reasonably assured

if acceptance by the customer is not conditional
and there are no contingencies

if there is a definitive payment plan, for
example

-net 30, 60, 90 days

 

If title has been transferred and the customer bears the risk of
loss if the product is damaged or destroyed

If the customer is able to and will confirm the amount due as an
account receivable

 

If all of the above requirements are met, a
sale should be recorded.

 

Quarterly closing procedures must include a review to determine
whether revenue recognition must be delayed on any shipments. Any adjustment needed must be recorded in the general ledger before
submission of the Day 4 financial statements.
