10.Representations and Warranties of Buyer. As of the Closing, Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

(a)Organization of Buyer. Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. 

(b)Authorization of Transaction. Buyer has full limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject, however, to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Buyer need not give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any governmental authority in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(c)Seller Invoices. Buyer and its officers, members, managers, directors, and affiliates who have been officers or employees of Seller prior to the Closing Date have conducted the Business consistent with past practices and have collected all amounts owed to Seller for services performed by Seller and its affiliates prior to the Closing Date. 

(d)Brokers’ Fees. Buyer has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Seller or its affiliates could become liable or obligated. 

11.Taxes.

(a)Attached hereto as Exhibit G is an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with §1060 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate), which allocation shall be binding upon Buyer and Seller. Seller and Buyer and their affiliates shall report, act, and file tax returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable law.

(b)The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer, or similar applicable laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer. Seller will pay in a timely manner all applicable use, transfer, conveyance, documentary, recording, notarial, value added, excise, registration, stamp, gross receipts and similar taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”), arising out of or in connection with or attributable to the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether such Transfer Taxes, expenses and fees are imposed by law on Buyer, the Purchased Assets, or Seller. Seller will prepare and timely file all tax returns required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes (including all notices required to be given with respect to bulk transfer Laws). Buyer will reasonably cooperate with Seller to share information reasonably necessary for the preparation of those tax returns and any tax clearance certificates that either Seller or Buyer may request.

(c)If, prior to the Closing, there have been any taxes based on the value of property assessed against any of the Purchased Assets, Seller will pay those taxes attributable to periods or partial periods ending prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer will pay those taxes attributable to periods or partial periods beginning on or after the Closing Date, with a daily allocation for any period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in paying or reimbursing tax obligations in accordance with this Section 11(c). Nothing in this Agreement shall make a Party liable for the income or franchise taxes of any other Party, including making Buyer liable for any taxes imposed on Seller relating to the receipt of consideration for the sale of the Purchased Assets from Seller to Buyer. This Section 11(c) does not apply to Transfer Taxes, which are the sole obligation of Seller under the provisions of Section 11(b).

12.Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a)Seller / Parent Non-Competition.  Until the earlier of (i) the period ending twelve months after the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which Parent undergoes a change of control or sells substantially all of its assets (the “Seller/Parent Restricted Period”), neither Seller nor the Parent shall, and shall not permit any of their respective affiliates as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Affiliates”) to, directly or indirectly; (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the business of IT, accounting or finance staffing (the “Restricted Business”), within the State of Georgia (the “Territory”); or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Business (including any existing or former client or customer of a Seller and any Person that becomes a client or customer of the Business after the Closing), or any other person who has a material business relationship with the Business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section 12(a) shall not prohibit Seller, Parent or any of its Closing Date Affiliates from (i) acquiring assets, a business or any equity in an entity or business that conducts the Restricted Business in the Territory, (ii) performing the Restricted Business in the Territory if a current client of Parent and/or its Closing Date Affiliates that does not currently conduct business in the State of Georgia requests Parent and/or its Closing Date Affiliates to conduct the Restricted Business in the Territory; provided that Parent or such Closing Date Affiliate gives Buyer the first opportunity to perform the services for such requesting client as a Tier 2 supplier of Parent; and (iii) owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any person traded on any national securities exchange if such Seller, Parent, or affiliate thereof, as applicable is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 10% or more of any class of securities of such person. If Parent and/or one its Closing Date Affiliates has a new client after the Closing Date that requests Parent and/or its Closing Date Affiliates to perform the Restricted Business during the Seller/Parent Restricted Period in the Territory, Parent and/or its Closing Date Affiliates, as applicable, will permit Buyer to be a Tier 2 Supplier for such new client for the Restricted Business in the Territory during the Seller/Parent Restricted Period, upon mutually accepted terms. If after the Closing Date, Seller or Parent acquires a business that does not, at the time of such acquisition, have a presence in the State of Georgia (a “New Non-Georgia Affiliate”), Seller and Parent shall not cause such New Non-Georgia Affiliate to begin conducting Restricted Business in the Territory during the Seller/Parent Restricted Period.

 

6

 

(b)Buyer Non-Acquisition of Former Affiliates of Seller.  During the Seller/Parent Restricted Period, Buyer shall not acquire or partner with any former affiliate of Seller or the Business.  

(c)Seller / Parent Non-Solicitation of Employees and Contractors, and Customers.  Neither Seller nor the Parent shall, and shall not permit any of their respective Closing Date Affiliates to, directly or indirectly:

(i)During the Seller/Parent Restricted Period, recruit, offer employment or engagement to, employ or engage as a consultant, directly or indirectly, any employee of Seller who was employed in the Business as of the Closing Date or at any time during the six-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, or seek to persuade any such employee to terminate or diminish his or her relationship with the Business or Buyer, ; provided, however, that this Section 12(b) shall not prohibit any general public advertisement for employment or any solicitation activities conducted by an employment agency, so long as the advertisement or agency search was not directed towards any such employee or any employees; or

(ii)During the Seller/Parent Restricted Period in the Territory, (A) solicit or encourage any customer or other business partner of the Business who was such as of the Closing Date to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Business with respect to the services of the type provided by the Business as of the Closing Date, or (B) seek to persuade any such customer or other business partner, or prospective customer or other business partner of the Business who was such as of the Closing Date or at any time during the six-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, to conduct with any other person or entity any business or activity which such business partner or prospective business partner conducts or could conduct with the Business, solely as it relates to the services of the type provided by the Business as of the Closing Date. 

(d)Buyer Non-Solicitation of Employees, Contractors, and Customers of Parent and Certain Affiliates (Other than Seller).  Until the earlier of (i) the period ending twelve months after the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which Buyer undergoes a change of control or sells substantially all of its assets (the “Buyer Restricted Period”), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Closing Date Affiliates to, directly or indirectly:

(i)Recruit, offer employment or engagement to, employ or engage as a consultant, directly or indirectly, any employee of Parent or its Closing Date Affiliates (excluding Seller)  who was employed by Parent or such Closing Date Affiliates (excluding Seller)  at any time during the six-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, or seek to persuade any such employee to terminate or diminish his or her relationship with Parent or such Closing Date Affiliate (excluding the Seller); provided, however, that this Section 12(d) shall not prohibit any general public advertisement for employment or any solicitation activities conducted by an employment agency, so long as the advertisement or agency search was not directed towards any such employee or any employees; or

 

7

 

(ii)(A) Solicit or encourage any customer or other business partner of Parent or any of its Closing Date Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with Parent or such Closing Date Affiliate with respect to services of the type provided by Parent or such Closing Date Affiliate or (B) seek to persuade any such customers or other business partners, or prospective customer or other business partner of Parent or its Closing Date Affiliates (excluding Seller) who was such as of the Closing Date or any time during the six month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, to conduct with any other person or entity any business or activity which such business partner or prospective business partner conducts or could conduct with Parent or a Closing Date Affiliate (excluding Seller), solely as it relates to the services of the type provided by Parent or a Closing Date Affiliate (excluding Seller). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any transaction document, this section shall not prevent Buyer or its Closing Date Affiliates from soliciting or performing work in the Restricted Business within the Territory for the current customers and business partners of Seller. 

(e)Buyer, Seller and Parent acknowledge that its agreement to the covenants contained in this Section 12 is a material condition of each Parties’ willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the covenants in this Section 12 are necessary to protect the good will, confidential information, trade secrets and other legitimate information related to the Business and the business of Parent. In addition and not in the alternative to any other remedies available to it, each Party shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (without having to post bond or other security) against any breach or threatened breach by Buyer, Seller, Parent, or any Closing Date Affiliates of Buyer, Seller or Parent of the covenants in this Section 12. If a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provisions of this Section 12 is invalid or unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that term or provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Buyer, Seller and Parent agree that the periods of restriction applicable to Buyer, Seller, Parent, and their respective Closing Date Affiliates set forth in this Section 12 shall be tolled, and shall not run, during the period of any breach (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) by Buyer, Seller, Parent or any of their respective Closing Date Affiliates of any such covenants. No claimed breach of this Agreement attributed to Buyer, Seller, or Parent or any of its Closing Date Affiliates shall operate to excuse a party from the performance of its obligations under this Section 12.

13.Indemnification. 

(a)Seller agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, fees, penalties, causes of action, claims, demands, judgments, executions and liens, including without limitation attorney’s fees and court costs, arising from (i) the Excluded Liabilities, (ii) any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) any other breach or violation of this Agreement by Seller. Buyer agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold Seller and its affiliates harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, fees, penalties, causes of action, claims, demands, judgments, executions and liens, including without limitation attorney’s fees and court costs, arising from or in any way connected with (i) the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) any breach of Buyer’s representations and warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) any other breach or violation of this Agreement by Buyer.

 

8

 

(b)Claim Notice.  Upon obtaining knowledge of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity (a “Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the facts giving rise to such claim.   Such notice shall contain a brief description of the nature and estimated amount of any claim for indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnified party’s delay in providing the foregoing notice to the indemnifying party shall not bar a claim for indemnity under this Agreement unless the delay materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to resolve or defend against the claim.

(c)Third Party Claims.  If a third-party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall either be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof or, if it so chooses, to assume (and control) the defense thereof with reputable counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense unless (i) the third-party Claim does not relate to, or otherwise arise in connection with, any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the third-party Claim involves primarily money damages, and (iii) the indemnified party has not been advised in writing by counsel that a conflict of interest exists or is reasonably likely to exist between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to the third-party Claim. Should an indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of a third-party Claim in accordance with this Section 13, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof for so long as such indemnifying party complies with this Section 13(c). If the indemnifying party assumes such defense in accordance with this Section 13(c), the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall control such defense (including any settlement with respect thereto) for so long as such indemnifying party complies with this Section 13(c). In connection with any third-party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such third-party Claim, including by retaining and (upon the indemnifying party's request) providing to the indemnifying party all records and information which are reasonably relevant to such third-party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of judgment, or settle, compromise or voluntarily discharge, any third-party Claim, unless the terms of such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge (x) provides for the payment by the indemnifying party of money as sole relief for the claimant, (y) results in the full and general release of all parties with a Claim from all material liabilities arising or related to, or in connection with, the third-party Claim and (z) involves no finding  or admission of a violation of any applicable law or other wrongdoing. If the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of a third-party Claim in accordance with this Section 13(c) then the Indemnified party shall be entitled to defend such third-party Claim through counsel of its choosing, and may resolve such third-party Claim; provided, that the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of judgment, or settle, compromise or voluntarily discharge, any third-party Claim for which any sums are recoverable from or indemnifiable by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

9

 

(d)Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 13 which does not result from a third-party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the indemnified party giving written notice to the indemnifying party of the Direct Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after the determination of such loss; provided, that failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect the indemnification or recovery, as applicable, provided hereunder except and to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnifying party shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. 

(e)The representations and warranties contained in Sections 10 and 11 shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”) provided that the representations made in Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(d), 10(a), 10(b) and 10(d) (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive for three years.  All covenants and agreements that require performances prior to or at the Closing shall survive until the Survival Date.  All covenants and agreements that require performance after the Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms and applicable laws or, if not specified, until the Survival Date. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements with respect to which a claim has been brought prior to the applicable survival date shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved and the payment of all amounts owed with respect thereto). No claims may be made after the applicable survival date of such claim.

(f)Neither Seller, Buyer nor any of their respective affiliates shall be required to indemnify any indemnifiable party under Section 13 unless the aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, deficiencies, demands, judgments, damages, interest, fines, penalties, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, awards, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees), or any diminution in value, whether or not involving a Claim (“Losses”) suffered by an indemnified party (each a “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) exceeds $50,000 (the “Deductible”) and then Buyer or Seller shall be required to indemnify the applicable indemnified party for the amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, that this Section 13(f) shall not apply to Losses related to the failure to be true and correct of any of the Fundamental Representations. 

(g)Seller, Buyer and any of their affiliates shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party under Section 13 for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $1,000,000 (the “General Cap”); provided, that the General Cap shall not apply with respect to Losses related to the failure to be true and correct of any of the Fundamental Representation. Seller and Buyer any of their respective affiliates shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party under Section 13 for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding amounts actually paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement for the breach of a Fundamental Representation.

(h)No indemnified party shall be entitled to recover from the indemnifying party any incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages. 

(i)Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 13 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

14.Limited Parent Guaranty.  Parent shall cause Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. The guaranty set forth in this Section 14 is a guaranty of performance and not a guaranty of payment.   Buyer shall first seek performance by Seller under this Agreement before exercising Parent’s guaranty set forth in this Section 14. 

15.Outstanding Amounts Owed. Buyer shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to collect any amounts owed to Seller for services provided by Seller as of or prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Seller Receivables”), whether or not invoiced by Seller as of or prior to the Effective Time, and (b) immediately remit to the Seller Collections Account (as defined below), any payments actually received by Buyer that relate to any of the Seller Receivables.  Buyer shall instruct the customers or other account debtors on the Seller Receivables to make payments on the Seller Receivables directly to the collections account set forth on Schedule 15 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Seller Collections Account”).  Buyer shall not modify such payment instructions with respect to the Seller Receivables without the prior written consent of the Seller.  If Buyer receives any payments related to the Seller Receivables, Buyer shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Seller to be paid and transferred to the Seller Collections Account in accordance with the terms of this Section 15, and, until such payment and transfer to the Seller Collections Account, shall not comingle any payments related to the Seller Receivables with any of Buyer’s funds.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Receivables and all proceeds thereof (in whatever form) are the assets and property solely of the Seller and Buyer shall have no rights or interests therein.  Buyer shall have no rights of set-off or any similar rights with respect to the Seller Receivables and proceeds thereof.

16.Press Releases.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 24th day of September, 2020, by and between STAFFING 360 GEORGIA, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Seller”) and AFFINITY BANK, A DIVISION OF NEWTON FEDERAL BANK (“Escrow Agent”). 

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Seller has entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”) with FirstPro Recruitment, LLC (“Buyer”) and, solely for the purpose of Section 6(h), Section 12 and Section 14 therein, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer substantially all of the assets used in or related to the operation or conduct of Seller’s professional staffing and recruiting business in the State of Georgia (the “Assets”) and Buyer has agreed to assume the Assumed Labilities, in each case, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement; 

WHEREAS, Seller has previously obtained a Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to that certain Note dated May 20, 2020 (the “PPP Note”), executed in favor of Escrow Agent (from time to time hereinafter referred to as “Lender”) in the original principal amount of two million sixty-two thousand five hundred fifty-seven AND 00/100THS DOLLARS ($2,062,557.00);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the PPP Note, the sale of the Assets may result in a default of the PPP Loan;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Seller has applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan;

WHEREAS, in connection with the sale of the Assets, Seller has agreed to cause the sum of two million eighty thousand one hundred forty six AND 02/100THS DOLLARS ($2,080,146.02) from the Purchase Price paid by Buyer (the “Escrow Funds”) to be deposited by Buyer into escrow with Escrow Agent at Closing and to be held by Escrow Agent to pay off the PPP Loan in the event that all or any portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”); 

WHEREAS, Seller desires to designate and appoint Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder, and Escrow Agent hereby agrees to accept such appointment. 

Statement of Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.Recitals Incorporated/Defined Terms.  The recitals set forth hereinabove are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.  Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. Further, capitalized terms not defined herein shall not impact the duties of Escrow Agent.

 

A-1

 

2.Application for Forgiveness.  Prior to the date of this Agreement (a) Seller applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan from the SBA, and (b) Lender submitted such application to the SBA for final determination as to loan forgiveness.   Seller hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days, submit any and all additional or supplemental applications, revisions to the original application or additional documentation required by Lender or SBA to forgive the PPP Loan.  In the event Seller fails to timely comply with requirements set forth above and fails to correct such failure within ten (10) days of notice of such failure from Lender, Escrow Agent shall immediately pay the PPP Loan in full and Seller hereby authorizes and directs Escrow Agent to remit such payoff funds without further action or authorization from Seller.

3.Deposit of Escrow Funds.  By its execution hereof, Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Funds and that Escrow Agent shall hold or disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms hereof.

4.Disbursement of Escrow Funds.

(a)Upon receipt of the payoff funds by Lender from the SBA (“SBA Payoff Funds”) for the forgiven portion of the PPP Loan, Escrow Agent shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days from receipt of the SBA Payoff Funds, remit to (i) Lender the portion of the Escrowed Funds necessary to pay any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan in full and (ii) Seller (or its designee) any and all remaining Escrow Funds pursuant to the wire instructions set forth below in this Section 4(a).  Seller hereby authorizes and directs Escrow Agent to remit such payoff funds and such remaining Escrow Funds in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4(a) without further action or authorization from Seller or any other Person, and Seller hereby further authorizes and directs Lender to remit said remaining Escrow Funds due to Seller to be the following account of Seller’s creditor, Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“JIG”):

Bank’s Name: Bank of America, N.A.

Bank’s Address: 100 N. Tryon St. Charlotte, NC 28255

ABA No.: 026009593 

Account No.: 334003060431

Routing Number:

061000052 (ACH)

026009593 (Wire)

Seller reserves the right to change the wire instructions set forth above by written notice given to Escrow Agent, provided that any such change notice to be effective must be signed by Seller and consented to in writing by JIG.   In the event JIG fails to respond to such written notice within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, JIG shall be deemed to have rejected such request for change in above wire instructions and Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to remit the remaining Escrow Funds to JIG as per the above wire instructions.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that any payments made by Escrow Agent in accordance with the wire instructions set forth above (or in any valid change notice given in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in this Section shall be deemed to have been received by Seller for purposes of this Agreement.  

 

A-2

 

(b)Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event all or a portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, the unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan shall be paid in full from the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms hereof, and in no event shall any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan be amortized for future repayment. 

5.Seller Responsible for Any Deficiencies.  In the event the Escrow Funds are not sufficient to pay off the outstanding balance of the PPP Loan, including accrued interest, Seller shall be responsible for any such deficiency and shall promptly pay the amount of any deficiency to the Lender.

6.Release. As of the date hereof, SBA has not issued a formal ruling or guidance as to the forgiveness of a PPP loan if all or substantially all assets of a business are sold prior to PPP Loan forgiveness or payment in full.  Seller hereby acknowledges (i) that neither Escrow Agent nor Lender have made or make any representation or warranty as to the effect of this Agreement on the potential forgiveness of the PPP Loan, including without limitation the potential denial of forgiveness due to a default under the terms of the PPP Loan, and Seller hereby assumes all risk that the PPP Loan will not be forgiven in part or in its entirety, (ii) that it has not relied on any advice from the Escrow Agent or Lender in regard to this Agreement or its potential effect on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and (iii) that Seller has been advised by Lender and Escrow Agent to and has had sufficient opportunity to seek independent legal counsel and/or advice from Seller’s tax advisors.   Seller hereby releases, holds harmless and covenants not to sue Lender or Escrow Agent for any and all losses, costs or expenses, including without limitation denial of forgiveness of the PPP Loan, arising from the sale of Seller’s Assets prior to forgiveness or repayment of the PPP Loan, from Seller’s depositing the Escrow Funds for the purpose of payment of the PPP Loan or otherwise arising from this Agreement.

            (Seller’s Initials to Para 6.)

7.Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate on the date (the “Termination Date”) on which the Escrow Funds are fully disbursed in accordance with this Agreement.

8.Escrow Provisions.  The following terms and conditions shall apply to the Escrow Funds:

(a)Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Funds in a non-interest bearing escrow account in a federally insured institution. 

(b)It is agreed that:

	
 
	
(i)
	
the duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided and are purely ministerial in nature, and Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever except for Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as long as Escrow Agent has acted in good faith;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
in the performance of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and signed by either or both of Lender or Seller or their respective successors;

 

A-3

 

	
 
	
(iii)
	
Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless in writing and signed by it Seller and Escrow Agent;

	
 
	
(iv)
	
except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall reimburse and indemnify Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, costs or expenses in connection herewith, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its acceptance of, or the performance of its duties and obligations under, this Agreement, as well as the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement; and

	
 
	
(v)
	
Seller hereby releases Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in good faith without gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder.

(c)Escrow Agent is acting as a stake-holder only with respect to the Escrow Funds.  If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver all or any portion of the Escrow Funds or as to whom the proceeds of the Escrow Funds are to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event Escrow Agent shall interplead the Escrow Funds, or so much thereof as is disputed, with a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Georgia, and the final determination of the court in connection with such interpleader action, including any and all available appeals, shall be binding upon the parties.  Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such action or proceeding including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the Seller.  

(d)By execution of this Agreement, Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not take any action whatsoever with respect to the Escrow Funds unless: (i) Escrow Agent receives written evidence of the SBA’s final determination of the forgiveness of the PPP Loan; (ii) Escrow Agent is directed to take such action by a court of competent jurisdiction by order that is not subject to appeal; or (iii) as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

RECITALS:

	
A.
	
The Company and Staffing 360 are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company, Staffing 360, and, solely for the purpose of Section 6(h), Section 12 and Section 14 therein, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, that provides for the acquisition by the Company of substantially all the assets of Staffing 360.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with and as a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions upon which each Party will provide or cause to be provided to the other Party certain identified services during the term of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual agreements set forth in this Agreement, and pursuant to and in further consideration for the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1.Transition Services. Each Party shall perform (“Service Provider”) for the other Party (“Receiving Party”) certain transition services as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Transition Services”) for the time periods described in this Agreement.  In consideration for the performance of the Transition Services, the applicable Receiving Party shall pay to the applicable Service Provider the fees set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Service Fees”) in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. Each Receiving Party reserves the right to request additional Transition Services from the applicable Service Provider that are not currently contemplated on Schedule 1 and the Parties will work in good faith to agree on reasonable terms. The applicable Service Provider shall promptly respond to such request by the applicable Receiving Party. 

2.Performance of Services. The applicable Service Provider shall perform the Transition Services consistent with the past practices, and in a manner to minimize any disruption to the business of the Receiving Party. If employees or other affiliates of the Company assist Staffing 360 in the provision of Transition Services, the Company and such employees and affiliates shall act in good faith in providing such assistance.

 

D-1

 

3.Term and Termination.

a.The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall continue with respect to each particular Transition Service until the termination date set forth for such Transition Service in Schedule 1 at which time this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the Transition Service in question, or until this Agreement or the Transition Service in question is earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 3.  

b.Any Transition Service may be terminated in writing signed by the applicable Service Provider and the applicable Receiving Party, which shall specify which of the Transition Services are to be terminated (the “Terminated Services”) and the date on which such Terminated Services are to be terminated (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the applicable Receiving Party will be liable for the Service Fees associated with the Terminated Services through the Termination Date from such Transition Service.  The termination of any Transition Service pursuant to this Section 3(b) will not affect this Agreement with respect to any other Transition Services.

c.In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by either Party, the non-breaching party shall notify the breaching party pursuant to Section 6 hereto of such breach. If the breach then continues without cure for a period of thirty (30) days and is not the subject of a good-faith dispute in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement without any further obligation or liability to the breaching Party with respect to such Transition Services except if either Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3(c), the applicable Receiving Party will be liable for the Service Fees earned through the end of such thirty (30) day period after the notice of breach was given.

d.The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any transition at the end of the provision of any Transition Service as provided herein and the applicable Service Provider shall be reimbursed by the applicable Receiving Party, within thirty (30) days of the applicable Service Provider’s invoice therefore, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Service Provider in providing such transition assistance.

e.No termination of this Agreement or any Transition Services shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination thereof.  

4.Fees and Changes. In consideration for each Service Provider’s availability to provide the Transition Services, each Service Provider shall receive the fees or other charges as set forth in Schedule 1. The applicable Receiving Party shall pay such fees and charges for the Transition Services specified in Schedule 1 at the time or times specified in Schedule 1. An invoice for Transition Services shall be due and payable by the applicable Receiving Party at the time specified in Schedule 1. Any amounts payable by a Receiving Party under this Section 4 that are not paid when due shall bear interest, from the date due until paid, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. If there is a dispute regarding any invoice for Service Fees under this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute among themselves as promptly as practicable.  The applicable Service Provider acknowledges that it is solely responsible for paying all federal, state, and local income or business taxes, including estimated taxes, self-employment and any other taxes, fees, additions to tax, interest or penalties which may be assessed, imposed, or incurred as a result of the Transition Services provided by the applicable Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement.

If a Party reasonably determines that the other Party has violated this covenant, then in addition to any direct damages to which such Party and/or its affiliates may be entitled under law or equity, the other Party will, to such Party’s reasonable satisfaction, promptly take all action and implement all necessary procedures to prevent the reoccurrence of any such violation.

TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT 

This Trademark License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 15, 2017 (“Effective Date”), by and between Firstpro Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Licensor”), and Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Licensee”). 

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Licensor owns all rights to the trademark FIRSTPRO, including (i) U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,070,004 for the word mark FIRSTPRO for “employment agency services and for personnel placement and recruitment services” in IC 035, (ii) a stylized version of FIRSTPRO as shown in Exhibit A attached hereto, and (iii) all common law rights associated with Licensor’s use of FIRSTPRO as a trademark (“Trademarks”); and 

WHEREAS, Licensor desires to grant to Licensee, and Licensee desires to acquire from Licensor, a license to use the Trademarks, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and among Licensor, Licensee, Firstpro Georgia LLC, April F.  Nagel and Philip Nagel, and hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 

	
 
	
1.
	
GRANT OF LICENSE.  Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, all rights to use the Trademarks worldwide, except in and throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Boston, Massachusetts (“Territory”), in connection with staffing and other employment agency services offered by Licensee (“Covered Services”), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this License Agreement.   

	
 
	
a.
	
Licensee may adopt and use a variation of the Trademarks, such as by adding letters, numbers, or characters to the term FIRSTPRO, so long as the same is approved in writing by Licensor; and Licensor hereby consents to Licensee’s use of the tradename “Firstpro Georgia” as a variation of the Trademark. 

	
 
	
b.
	
Licensee may use the Trademarks or any variation thereof without restrictions as to capitalization (including for instance as firstPRO or FirstPRO), color, font, prominence, or the like. 

	
 
	
c.
	
Licensee may incorporate the Trademarks or any variation thereof into any domain name, social media user handle or user name, or Internet keyword.
