Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm's determination of Net Working Capital shall not be less than the amount proposed by Purchaser in
the Net Working Capital Statement nor shall it be greater than the amount proposed by Seller in the Dispute Notice.

are able to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the Net Working Capital Statement, together with the calculation of the Net Working
Capital, as modified by the mutual agreement of parties hereto, shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties and such revised
calculation of the Net Working Capital shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereof. In the event that Seller delivers
a Dispute Notice in accordance with the provisions set forth above and Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute by mutual
agreement, the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Net Working
Capital Statement, together with the calculation of the Net Working Capital, as modified by the report of the Independent Accounting Firm,
shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties hereto and such revised calculation of the Net Working Capital shall be final and
binding on the parties for all purposes hereof.

 

(g)           Within
five (5) Business Days after the determination of the actual Net Working Capital becomes final and binding, (i) if the actual
Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, Seller shall pay Purchaser the difference between
the Estimated Net Working Capital and the actual Net Working Capital, and (ii) if the actual Net Working Capital is greater than
the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay Seller the difference between the actual Net Working Capital and the Estimated
Net Working Capital. Any payments made after the due date set forth above shall bear interest at the annual rate of eight percent (8%).

and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted.
Seller is duly qualified or authorized to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction

documents as in effect on the date hereof.

 

Section 3.2.     Title

(a)           Schedule

(b)          Each
Seller Plan has been established, administered and maintained, in all material respects, in accordance with its terms and in material
compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including ERISA and the Code). Each Seller Plan that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code (a "Qualified Benefit Plan") is so qualified and has received a favorable and current
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, or if it is a pre-approved prototype or volume submitter plan, can rely on an
opinion or an advisory letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the prototype or volume submitter plan sponsor, to the effect that
such Qualified Benefit Plan is so qualified and that the plan and the trust related thereto are exempt from federal income taxes under
Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, and to Seller's Knowledge, nothing has occurred that could reasonably be expected
to cause the revocation of such determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or the unavailability of reliance on such opinion
letter from the Internal Revenue Service, as applicable, nor has such revocation or unavailability been threatened. Nothing has occurred
with respect to any Seller Plan that has subjected or could reasonably be expected to subject Seller to a material penalty under Section 502
of ERISA or to tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code. All benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Seller Plan
have been timely paid in accordance with the terms of such Seller Plan and all applicable Legal Requirements and accounting principles.

 

(c)           With
respect to each Seller Plan: (i) no such plan is a "multiple employer plan" within the meaning of Section 413(c) of
the Code or a "multiple employer welfare arrangement" as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA; (ii) no such plan is subject
to Title IV of ERISA or the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; and (iii) no
 "reportable event," as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any such plan.

 

(d)           Neither
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate (nor any predecessor thereof) contributes to, is required to contribute to (on a contingent basis or otherwise)
or has in the past contributed to or been required to contribute to, or has any Liabilities with respect to, any "multiemployer plan,"
within the meaning of Sections 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.

 

(e)           There
is no pending or, to Seller's Knowledge, threatened Matter relating to a Seller Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) and no Seller
Plan has, within the six years prior to the date hereof, been the subject of an examination or audit by a governmental authority or the
subject of an application or filing under or participated in an amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program sponsored
by any governmental authority.

 

(f)           There
has been no amendment to, announcement by Seller relating to or change in employee participation or coverage under any Seller Plan that
would increase the annual expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred for the most recently completed fiscal
year with respect to any director, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant, as applicable.

 

    28

     

    

 

(g)           Each
Seller Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code is and has been documented and operated in material compliance with such
section and all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices, rulings and proposed and final regulations).

 

(h)           The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or together with any other event, including a subsequent
termination of employment or service) entitle any current or former employee or independent contractor of Seller to severance pay or accelerate
the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment of funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under,
or increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any Seller Plan. There is no contract covering any
current or former employee or other service provider of Seller that, considered individually or considered collectively with any other
such contracts, will, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise directly or indirectly to the payment of any amount that would be
characterized as a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no contract
by which Seller is bound to compensate or reimburse any employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Schedule 3.9(h) sets
forth an accurate and complete list of all of the contracts which give rise to an obligation to make or set aside amounts payable to or
on behalf of the officers of Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or any subsequent employment termination
(whether by Seller or the officer), true and complete copies of which have been previously provided to Purchaser.

 

(i)            Neither
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has any current or projected liability in respect of post-employment or post-retirement health, medical
or life insurance benefits for retired, former or current employees of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate, except as required under COBRA or
except for the continuation of coverage through the end of the calendar month in which termination from employment occurs. No condition
exists that would prevent Seller or any ERISA Affiliate from amending or terminating any Seller Plan that is an "employee welfare
benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA.

 

(j)            Neither
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate (nor any predecessor thereof) sponsors, maintains or contributes to, or has in the past sponsored, maintained
or contributed to, any Seller Plan which is maintained for the benefit of any employee or service provider (or former employee or service
provider) who performs services outside the United States.

 

(k)           Seller
has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the "ACA") including all provisions of the ACA applicable to the Business Employees,
including the employer shared responsibility provisions relating to the offer of "minimum essential coverage" to "full-time"
employees that is "affordable" and provides "minimum value" (as defined in Code Section 4980H and related regulations)

and has provided "minimum value" (each within the meaning of Code §36B(c)(2)(C) and §4980H(b) and related
regulations). Seller has complied with applicable information reporting requirements under Code Sections 6055 and 6056 (and all applicable
regulations) with respect to the Business Employees and their dependents.

full force and effect. Seller is not in material default under any Real Property Lease, and no event has occurred which, if not remedied,
and whether with or without notice or the passage of time or both, would result in such a default. Seller has not received or given any
written notice of any default or event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default by Seller under any of the
Real Property Leases, and, to Seller's Knowledge, no other party is in default thereof, and no party to any Real Property Lease has exercised
any termination rights with respect thereto.

result in any violation or breach of, or conflict with or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise
to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation of the loss of a material benefit under, or give rise to any
obligation of Parent and Purchaser to make any payment under, or to the increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements
of any Person under, or result in the creation of any Liens upon any of the properties or assets of Parent and Purchaser under any provision
of: (a) the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other charter or organizational documents of Parent and Purchaser; or (b) any
Legal Requirement applicable to the Purchased Assets or any material Contract to which Purchaser is a party. Neither Parent nor Purchaser
is not required to obtain any Consent from any Person at or prior to the Closing in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser which Consent has not been obtained.

Immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser and each of its and their Subsidiaries
shall be able to pay their respective debts as they become due and shall own property which has a fair saleable value greater than the
amounts required to pay their respective debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities). Immediately
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser and each of its and their Subsidiaries shall
have adequate capital to carry on their respective businesses. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future
creditors of Parent and Purchaser or its or their Subsidiaries.

Section 4.7.     Parent
Commission Reports. Parent has timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and made available
to Seller all periodic reports, annual reports to stockholders and proxy statements required to be filed by it during the last two fiscal
years, under the Exchange Act (such periodic reports and other documents, together with any amendments thereto, are sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Parent Commission Filings"). The Parent Commission Filings (a) either did not contain any untrue
statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of their respective dates, or to the extent that such misrepresentation
or omission may have existed, such disclosure has been corrected by Parent in subsequent Parent Commission Filings prior to the Closing
Date, and (b) complied as of their respective dates in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act
and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 

Section 4.8.     No
Reliance. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III, neither Parent nor Purchaser is
relying on any other representations, warranties, statements, affirmations, projections, forecasts, models or other presentations by

Sources.

 

(c)            Seller
shall give Parent notice if it becomes aware that the Required Information taken as a whole is or becomes incorrect in any material respect.

in a manner that does not harm or disparage Seller or any of its Affiliates or their reputation or goodwill. All non-public information
regarding Seller and its Affiliates provided to any of Purchaser, Parent, the Financing Sources or their respective Representatives pursuant
to this Section 5.2 shall be kept confidential, except for disclosure to potential lenders and investors and their respective

Section 5.4.           Preservation
of Records. To the extent not transferred to Purchaser, Seller agrees to preserve and keep records held by it or its Affiliates relating
to the Business for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to Purchaser
as may be reasonably required by Purchaser in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Matters against or governmental
investigations of Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable Seller or Purchaser to comply with their respective
obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. To the extent transferred to Purchaser and except to the extent destroyed
under Parent's regularly scheduled document destruction policies or practices, Purchaser agrees to preserve and keep records held by
it or its Affiliates relating to the Business for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records
reasonably available to Seller as may be reasonably required in connection with, among other things, winding up of Seller's operations,
preparing the financial statements of Seller, filing of a tax return by any Selling Party, any insurance claims by, Matters against or
governmental investigations of a Selling Party, or in order to enable Selling Parties to comply with their respective obligations under
this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. After the expiration of such three (3) year period, neither Seller nor Purchaser will
destroy any of such books or records of the Business without giving the other party written notice thereof and the opportunity, at the
other party's sole expense, to take possession thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice.

 

    44

     

    

 

Section 5.5.           Payments.
Following Closing, (a) Seller shall transfer by wire to bank accounts designated in writing by Purchaser any and all cash, checks,
wire transfers and other forms of monetary receipts that may be received by Seller representing payments on any Purchased Receivable,
received by Seller or credited to Seller pursuant to any Assumed Contract, or that relate to a Purchased Asset ("Receipts")
within five (5) Business Days along with associated details, including the name of the customer or other payor, the document number(s) (if
any) associated with the Receipt and the amount of the Receipt and (ii) Purchaser shall transfer by wire to bank accounts designated
in writing by Seller any and all cash, checks, wire transfers and other forms of monetary receipts that may be received by Parent or
Purchaser representing payments on any Delinquent Receivable, received by Parent or Purchaser or any Affiliate within five (5) 
Business Days along with associated details, including the name of the customer or other payor, the document number(s) (if any)
associated with the payment and the amount of the payment.  Each party will transmit to the other party such information via e-mail
in Microsoft Excel files. Each party agrees to segregate all payments and to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the other party
until they are transferred as provided herein. All receivable collected by Purchaser after the Closing with respect to Seller’
accounts receivable shall be applied first to the oldest invoice unless the account debtor specifies a particular invoice (and is not
instructed by either party to act contrary to the terms of the invoice or business relationship).

 

Section 5.6.           Employment
Matters.

 

(a)            Prior
to and on or after the Closing, Purchaser may, but shall not be required to, offer employment (which such offer may include non-competition
covenants) to any of the Business Employees. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a current list of such employees at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the expected Closing Date. Such individuals who accept Purchaser's offer of employment and begin work for Purchaser at Closing
are referred to as the "Hired Employees". Seller shall terminate the employment of the Hired Employees as of the Closing
Date or at such later date as a Business Employee agrees with Purchaser to become a Hired Employee. From the Closing Date until the one
(1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if earlier, the date of a Hired Employee's separation from service), all Hired Employees
shall receive base compensation, bonus and benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the base compensation, bonus
and benefits provided to such Hired Employee by Seller; provided that it is understood that, absent a written agreement, all Hired Employees
are “at will.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement imposes any obligation on Purchaser or its Affiliates
to employ or enter into any other like relationship with the Stockholder or any of Seller's Personnel or Affiliates.

 

(b)            Purchaser
agrees to give each Hired Employee service credit for such Hired Employee's employment with Seller prior to the Closing Date for purposes
of calculating eligibility to participate and vesting credit (but not for accrual of benefits, other prior time served or contribution
amounts, including but not limited to, deductibles and co-pays) under each applicable Employee Plan of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates
or as required by applicable statutory law, as if such service had been performed with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates. Nothing in
this Section 5.6(b) is intended to prevent Purchaser from amending or terminating any of Purchaser's Employee Plans.
Purchaser shall give credit to each Hired Employee for any accrued but unused sick time, vacation time, and paid time off (PTO) to the
extent that Seller does not pay such employee the same at Closing and provided the accrued costs and expenses are accrued therefor as
a current liability within the Net Working Capital.

 

    45

     

    

 

(c)            Commencing
within ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser
in connection with Purchaser's good faith efforts to hire the Business Employees, including allowing Representatives of Purchaser and
its Affiliates reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to meet with and distribute to such Business
Employee such forms and other documents relating to his or her proposed employment with Purchaser, provided such access does not unreasonably
interfere with Seller's conduct of the Business.

 

(d)            Seller
shall terminate its 401(k) Employee Plan (the "Seller 401(k) Plan") effective as of immediately prior to the
Closing Date and shall take action to cause the Hired Employees' account balances, if any, under any such Seller 401(k) Plan to become
fully vested as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Employee Plan of Purchaser or Seller,
(ii) obligate Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to maintain any particular Employee Plan or arrangement, (iii) prevent Purchaser
or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any Employee Plan or arrangement, or (iv) give any third party the right to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)            After
Closing, Seller will not provide continuing health benefit coverage as described in Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA and Code Section 4980B
(hereinafter referred to as "COBRA Coverage") to all persons who are "M&A qualified beneficiaries" (as
described in IRS Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Question and Answer 4) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(hereinafter referred to as "COBRA Beneficiaries"). Therefore, Purchaser shall offer COBRA Coverage to COBRA Beneficiaries
timely and accurately identified by Seller or its Affiliate, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

 

Section 5.7.           Contract
Assignment and Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the assignment or attempted assignment
to Purchaser of any Assumed Contract is: (a) prohibited by any applicable law; or (b) would require any Consent of a Third
Party to such Assumed Contract (a "Required Consent"), that Required Consent shall not have been obtained prior to the
Closing Date (each, a "Non-Assignable Contract"), then the Closing shall not constitute the assignment of such Non-Assignable
Contract, and this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of such Non-Assignable Contract, unless and until such Required Consent
is obtained. Following the Closing, (x) Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement, will act as Purchaser's agent
in order to obtain for Purchaser the benefits under each Non-Assignable Contract (including enforcement for the account of Purchaser
of such rights against the other party thereto) and will reasonably cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement,
with Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser; and (y) Purchaser will, to the
maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement, perform, on Seller's behalf, the applicable Seller's obligations under the Non-Assignable
Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. Once a Required Consent for the assignment of any Non-Assignable Contract
is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign and transfer such Non-Assignable Contract to Purchaser at no additional cost to Purchaser.
Purchaser shall not assume any Liabilities under a Non-Assignable Contract until it has been assigned to Purchaser; provided,
however, that Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for performing its obligations under the arrangements described in this Section 5.7.

 

    46

     

    

 

Section 5.8.           Restrictive
Covenants.

 

(a)            To
induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each Restricted Party covenants and agrees that during the period commencing on the Closing
Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (in each case, the "Restricted Period"),
such Restricted Party will not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, lend to, engage in, manage,
consult to, operate, control, maintain any interest in (proprietary, financial or otherwise), otherwise affiliate with, or participate
in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business, whether corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise,
engaged in any Competitive Enterprise (i) in the area within one hundred (100) miles of Seller's offices in Boulder, Colorado, (ii) in
the State of Colorado, (iii) in any state with a common border with Colorado, (iv) in the United States of America, and (v) in
any market or jurisdiction in which Seller's products or services were sold or provided (through the internet or otherwise and, in the
case of the internet, in any market or jurisdiction where the purchaser or user of Seller's products or services was located) during the
twelve (12) months ended on the Closing Date. "Competitive Enterprise" shall mean the conduct of any activity that was
conducted by Seller as part of the Business during the twelve (12) month period ending on the Closing Date; provided however, nothing
contained herein shall be construed to prevent Stockholder or his Affiliate from (i) investing in the stock of any competing Person
listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over the counter market so long as such party is not involved in the business
of such Person and such party does not own more than one percent (1%) of the equity of such Person or entity; or (ii) having an ownership
interest in and participating in the business activities of HTL. The parties agree that HTL's practice of clinical histopathology and
contract research, driven by a team of scientists and MD pathologists, (including CLIA-certified, fully-automated anatomical pathology
IHC core) who provide services in connection with (i) human clinical trials (including validation of such trials); (ii) qualitative
and quantitative immunohistochemical, immunofluorescent, in situ hybridization, and microscopic applications; and (iii) delivery
of pre- and post-intervention analysis of clinically-derived materials for diagnostics and characterization of anti-tumor efficacy endpoints,
shall not be a violation of this Section 5.8(a).

 

(b)            During
the Restricted Period, each Restricted Party will not, and shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly on behalf
of any other Person, solicit, induce, or encourage any Hired Employee or any other employee of Purchaser or Parent or any of their respective
Affiliates to leave his or her employment with Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual.
Nothing contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall prohibit generalized solicitations of potential employees by use of advertisements
in the media that are not targeted at the employees of Purchaser or Parent.

 

    47

     

    

 

(c)            After
the Closing, each Restricted Party shall cooperate with Purchaser and use his, her or its commercially reasonable best efforts to continue
and maintain for the benefit of Purchaser those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing, including relationships
with lessors, Personnel, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, as customarily done by Seller prior to Closing,
and Seller shall satisfy all Excluded Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. The Restricted Parties
shall refer to Purchaser all inquiries from customers relating to the Business. Neither Seller nor any of its Personnel nor any other
Restricted Party shall take any action that would interfere with the Business after the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, during
the Restricted Period each Restricted Party will not (i) directly or indirectly solicit or provide competitive services to any current
client of Purchaser or Seller or any person or entity who has been a client of Seller at any time during the twelve (12) month period
immediately before Closing, or (ii) directly or indirectly divert or influence or attempt to divert or influence any business of
Purchaser to a competitor of Purchaser.

 

(d)            From
and after the date hereof, the Restricted Parties shall, and shall cause each of their Representatives, (i) not to, directly or indirectly,
disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or Parent
or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser or Parent, any Confidential Information
used in the operations of or associated with the Business and (ii) to keep confidential any Confidential Information used in the
operations of or associated with the Business, except for any such information that (A) is available to the public on the Closing
Date, (B) thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Restricted Parties or their Representatives
(other than pursuant to a legal obligation to do so or in connection with the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement), or (C) is
or becomes available to the Restricted Parties or their Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not prohibited
from disclosing such information to such Representative by legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to any other Person; provided,
that nothing contained in this Section 5.8(d) shall prohibit the Restricted Parties from disclosing any information should
such Restricted Parties or its Representative be required to disclose any such information in response to an Order or as otherwise required
by Legal Requirements; provided, further that in any such case it shall inform Purchaser in writing of such request or obligation
as soon as possible after such Selling Party is informed of it and, if possible, before any information is disclosed, so that a protective
order or other appropriate remedy may be obtained by Purchaser. If any Restricted Party or its Representatives are obligated to make such
disclosure, it shall only make such disclosure to the extent to which it is so obligated, but not further or otherwise.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the case of breach or threatened breach of the covenants in this Section 5.8, (i) Purchaser
may seek specific performance to cause any or all of the Restricted Parties to cease such breach or threatened breach and refrain from
any such future breaches and (ii) the claiming of damages for any losses incurred by Purchaser due to actions prohibited by the aforesaid
covenants shall remain unaffected.

 

    48

     

    

 

(f)             The
parties hereto acknowledge that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.8 are an essential element to this Agreement and
that, but for these covenants, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge
and agree that each party has received adequate consideration in exchange for entering into these covenants, the foregoing restrictions
are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interest of Purchaser post-Closing, including the goodwill that Purchaser shall
be purchasing from Seller pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The parties hereto
acknowledge that this Section 5.8 constitutes an independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance
of any other provisions of this Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(g)            It
is the intention of the parties hereto that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 5.8 is held
to cover a geographic area or to be for length of time which is not permitted by Legal Requirements, or is in any way construed to be
too broad or to any extent invalid, such restrictions or covenants shall be construed to be null, void, and of no effect, but to the extent
such restrictions or covenants would be valid or enforceable under applicable Legal Requirements, a court of competent jurisdiction shall
construe and interpret this Section 5.8 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period
and other provisions (not greater than those contained in this Section 5.8 that would be valid and enforceable under law.

 

Section 5.9.           Change
of Name. After the Closing, the Selling Parties shall (i) within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, amend Seller's
organizational documents and take all other actions necessary to change Seller's name to one sufficiently dissimilar to Seller's present
name, in Purchaser's sole judgment, to avoid confusion; (ii) not use the prior name or any of the names listed in Schedule 5.9
or any derivatives thereof; and (iii) take all actions requested by Purchaser to enable Purchaser to use the names or any derivatives
thereof used by Seller prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may continue to use its present name in connection
with internal documentation such as tax returns, bank accounts and documents and Contracts that are not Assumed Contracts.

 

Section 5.10.         Acquisition
Proposals. From the date hereof until the Closing Date or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VIII,
Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) entertain, solicit, initiate,
or knowingly encourage or knowingly induce or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries or the making
of any proposal or offer constituting or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (b) furnish any nonpublic
information regarding Seller or the Business to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal,
inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (c) engage or participate in any discussions
or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected
to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that they currently are not permitted to have discussions), (d) approve,
endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition
Proposal, (e) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal or any
proposal, inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or (f) enter into any letter of

Section 5.11.         Updates.
Each of Purchaser and Seller (the "Updating Party") will have the right (but will not be required) to notify the other
party at any time prior to the Closing Date of any material development that that occurs after the Effective Date and before the Closing
Date causing the Updating Party's inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.2(b) hereof,
as applicable (a "Development"). For the avoidance of doubt, any event, condition or circumstance that existed prior
to the Effective shall not be Development pursuant to this Section 5.11. Such notice of a Development will contain an update
of the Disclosure Schedules, either by amending existing sections or adding additional sections (an "Update"). The Updating
Party must promptly provide to the other party any information or documentation reasonably requested by the other party in order to evaluate
the Development, and, if the Update is provided less than ten (10) days before the Outside Financing Date, the Outside Financing
Date will be extended until ten (10) days after the Update to afford the other party an opportunity to review such information.
After receiving the Update, the other party will have ten (10) days to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the
Updating Party, with such termination being the sole remedy relating to matters set forth in the Update, and if it does not terminate
the Agreement within such period, the Update will amend the Disclosure Schedule, to qualify the representations and warranties of the
Updating Party contained in this Agreement, and to cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that would have existed hereunder
had the Update not been provided.

 

Section 5.12.         Information.
Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonably efforts to keep Seller reasonably informed with respect to the status of the Financing
and shall make personnel available to answer any reasonable questions by Seller regarding the status of the Financing. Seller and Stockholder
acknowledge that information regarding the status of the Financing will constitute material non-public information within the meaning
of applicable federal and state securities laws. Seller and Stockholder further acknowledge that they are aware and that they will advise
their Representatives, that federal and state securities laws prohibit any Person who has material, non-public information about a company
from purchasing or selling securities of such a company or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances
in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

Parties" and each individually a "Seller Indemnified Party") against any Damages that a Seller Indemnified
Party incurs arising out of or as a result of:

 

    51

     

    

 

(a)            any
breach, misrepresentation or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchaser and Parent set forth in this Agreement or on
any certificate or other instrument or document furnished by any Selling Party to Purchaser and Parent pursuant to this Agreement or any
Transaction Document;

 

(b)            any
breach or nonfulfillment by Purchaser or Parent of the covenants or agreements of Purchaser or Parent set forth in this Agreement or any

(c)            any
Assumed Liability; and

 

(d)            any
and all Matters, demands, assessments, audits or judgments arising out of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 6.4.           Limitations
on Liability.

 

(a)            Other
than with respect to the Fundamental Representations, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under
Section 6.2(a) or (f) (to the extent arising out of a claim under Section 6.2(a)) or Section 6.3(a) or
(d) (to the extent arising out of a claim under Section 6.3(a)) with respect to any breach by any Indemnifying
Party of any of the representations and warranties of any Indemnifying Party set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent that the
cumulative amount of the Damages actually incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of all such breaches actually exceeds One Hundred
Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00) (the "Threshold Amount"), after which time only the amount of such Damages
that exceeds the Threshold Amount will be indemnifiable, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (c) below.

 

(b)            Other
than with respect to the Fundamental Representations, the total amount of the payments that the Indemnifying Party can be required to
make with respect to any breach by an Indemnifying Party of any of the representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party set forth
in this Agreement will be limited in the aggregate to a maximum of Two Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,750,000.00) (the
 "Cap"), and the Indemnifying Parties' cumulative Liability for such breaches of representation and warranty will in no
event exceed such amount. The total amount of the payments that the Indemnifying Party can be required to make with respect to any breach
by any Indemnifying Party of any of the Fundamental Representations will be limited in the aggregate to a maximum amount equal to the
Purchase Price.

 

(c)            In
no event shall the Threshold Amount and Cap apply to any claims by any Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to (i) Section 6.2(b),
Section 6.2(c), Section 6.2(d), Section 6.2(e), Section 6.2(f) (to the extent incurred in
connection with a claim for indemnification under Section 6.2(b) through Section 6.2(e)), (ii) Section 6.3(b),
Section 6.3(c), or Section 6.3(d) (to the extent incurred in connection with a claim for indemnification
under Section 6.3(b) or Section 6.3(c)), and (iii) Damages any Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

 

    52

     

    

 

(d)            Each
Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled
to indemnification hereunder; provided that, the failure to actually mitigate any Damages shall not impair the rights of an Indemnified
Party to indemnification hereunder provided that the Indemnified Party did in fact use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all
Damages. The amount of any Damages that are subject to indemnification under this Article  VI shall be calculated net of the
amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by the Indemnified
Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party in connection with such Damages (less the costs incurred by the Indemnified Party and
its Affiliates in collecting such amounts). In the event that an insurance recovery is made by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate
of the Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages for which the Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party
shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party, a sum equal to the lesser of (i) the actual amount of such insurance proceeds recoveries
or (ii) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid with respect to such Damages.

 

(e)            To
the extent the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, no right of subrogation
against the Indemnifying Party will accrue hereunder to or for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party or any Third Party.

 

(f)             Except
with respect to specific performance for the breach of any Restricted Party of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 5.8
and except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the right to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI, subject
to all of the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, shall constitute the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to any party
hereto for any actual or threatened breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement,
and none of the parties hereto shall initiate or maintain any legal action at law or in equity against any other party hereto which is
directly or indirectly related to any breach or threatened breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth
in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the exceptions described in the immediately preceding sentence, each party
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under any Legal Requirement, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or
based upon any Legal Requirement, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI.

 

Section 6.5.           Indemnification
Procedures. (a)

 

(a)            Third
Party Claims. If a party entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI (an "Indemnified Party") receives
notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by a Third Party (a "Third
Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party wishes to assert an indemnification
claim against the party or parties subject to such indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VI (the "Indemnifying Party"),
the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof ("Claim Notice"). The
failure to promptly provide such a Claim Notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations,
except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. A Claim Notice shall
describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages
that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving
written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the
Indemnifying Party's own counsel (as reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith in such defense at its own cost and expense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary
to defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel
selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise
or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in
this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(b) defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification
for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each
other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

 

    53

     

    

 

(b)            Settlement
of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into a settlement
of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), except as provided in this Section 6.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading
to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party or other Affiliates or providing
any restrictions on the operation of such Person's business as conducted, and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release
of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires
to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified
Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue
to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party
Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails
to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such
firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.5(a) it
shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed).

 

(c)            Direct
Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim")
shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt
written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or incurs significant additional costs as a result of the
delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the estimated amount,
if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have
thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified
Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged
to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance
(including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records)
as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such
30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.

 

    54

     

    

 

Section 6.6.           Payments;
Escrow.

 

(a)            Within
ten (10) Business Days after both (i) the resolution of any indemnification claim by any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder
pursuant to which such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to any payment from a Selling Party pursuant to Section 6.2
and (ii) the delivery by such Purchaser Indemnified Party of a written request for payment to such Selling Party, such payment shall
be made by the applicable Selling Party. Any claims for indemnification made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be satisfied
first out of the amounts held in the Escrow Account. After the Escrow Amount has been exhausted in full, any amount in excess of the Escrow
Amount owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder, which amount shall not exceed the Cap, shall be paid by Seller or the Stockholder.

 

(b)            Within
ten (10) Business Days after both (i) the resolution of any indemnification claim by any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder
pursuant to which such Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to any payment from Purchaser and (ii) the delivery by such Seller Indemnified
Party of a written request for payment to Purchaser, such payment shall be made by the Purchaser.

 

(c)            The
Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in seeking to collect any payments due under this Section 6.6.

 

Section 6.7.           Treatment
of Payments. Any indemnification payments made by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any payments made pursuant to Section 2.8
shall be treated by all other parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.3.

 

Section 6.8.           Effect
of Knowledge. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement.

 

    55

     

    

 

Section 6.9.           Materiality.
For purposes of determining the amount or extent of any Damages resulting from a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document (but not for purposes of determining whether or not a breach has occurred), each
representation and warranty in this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any
materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification or qualification of similar import contained in such representation
or warranty (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation and warranty).

 

Section 6.10.         Resolution
of Disputes. Any disputes under this ARTICLE VI shall be resolved as provided in Section 2.8(e).

to this Section 8.1(d), and paying Seller a fee in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the "Extension
Fee"); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to extend the Outside Financing Date if there
has been a violation or breach of this Agreement by Purchaser that has prevented or would prevent satisfaction of any conditions set forth
in Section 7.1.

 

(ii)            The
Extension Fee shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days following notice
from Purchaser of its intent to extend the Outside Financing Date. The Extension Fee, once paid, shall be non-refundable and shall be
credited against the Closing Payment Amount at the Closing, as provided in Section 2.3(b)(i).

 

(e)            by
Purchaser at any time after the Outside Financing Date, upon ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice, if the Closing shall not
have occurred on or prior to such date; provided, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) shall
not be available to Purchaser if the action or inaction of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has been a principal cause of or resulted
in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

 

(f)            by
Purchaser or Seller if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Legal Requirement or
Order, or refused to grant any required consent or approval, that has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement illegal or that otherwise prohibits the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Legal Requirement,
Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

 

    58

     

    

 

Section 8.2.           Procedure
Upon Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby,
written notice thereof shall be given by a terminating party to the other party, and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any of the parties.

 

Section 8.3.           Break-Up
Fees.

 

(a)            In
the event that Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(d), Purchaser shall
pay to Seller, as liquidated damages, a fee in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), which fee shall be in addition
to the Extension Fee, if applicable. To the extent that Seller's actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
the negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000.00) (the "Expense Reimbursement Threshold"), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all such actual, documented
out-of-pocket expenses in excess of the Expense Reimbursement Threshold, together with any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in
collecting such fees including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

 

(b)            In
the event that, prior to the Outside Financing Date, Purchaser has satisfied all of the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1
hereof (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied as of the Closing) and Seller has refused to proceed to Closing
(except due to Purchaser’s or Parent’s breach), Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages, a fee in the amount
of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) provided that no such amount shall be obligated to be paid if (i) Seller also has
the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) Purchaser terminates due to a Seller Update as contemplated
by Section 5.11 hereof; or (iii) the termination is due to Purchaser not proceeding to Closing due to Seller suffering
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 8.4.           Effect
of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, then:

 

(a)            Purchaser
on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, shall promptly cause to be returned to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, or cause the
destruction of, all documents and information obtained in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
all documents and information obtained by either party in connection with Purchaser's investigation of Seller, including any copies made
by or supplied to Parent, the Stockholder or any of their respective Representatives of any such documents or information. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, one copy of such documents or information may be retained by each of Purchaser and Seller's external legal counsel for
evidentiary purposes in the case of any legal proceedings or threatened legal proceedings relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby; and each of Purchaser and Seller need not delete from its electronic archival systems any information archived in
an integrated fashion with other, unrelated information of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, as long as Purchaser and Seller make no
effort to retrieve such archived information.

 

(b)            No
party shall have any duties or obligations to the other parties hereto after the date of such termination and none of the parties will
have any further liability hereunder; provided, however, (i) except as provided in Section 8.5, no such
termination shall relieve any party from Liability for any fraud or willful breach by that party, and (ii) Section 5.8(b),
this Section 8.4, and Section 8.5 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement
(together with any corresponding defined terms) in accordance with their respective terms.

 

    59

     

    

 

Section 8.5.         Exclusive
Remedy. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of each party in the event of
a breach (including any willful breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by another
party will be (i) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 and pursuit of the post-termination remedies
permitted under Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, or (ii) specific performance in accordance with Section 5.8(e) and
Section 9.9. For the avoidance of doubt, while a party may seek specific performance in accordance with Section 5.8(e) and
Section 9.9 in no circumstance shall such party be permitted or entitled to receive (A) payment of monetary damages
prior to the termination of this Agreement, or (B) both a grant of specific performance to cause the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and payment of any monetary damages (provided that the party seeking a grant of specific performance may
also seek reimbursement of its costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in enforcing
its rights hereunder).

party may submit only the Unresolved Items to the Independent Accounting Firm for review and resolution, with instructions to complete
the same as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of its engagement. Each of Parent and the Stockholders
agree to execute, if required, a customary engagement letter with the Independent Accounting Firm. Such Independent Accounting Firm shall
review only the Unresolved Items and shall deliver a written statement, within thirty (30) days of the submission of the Unresolved Items
to such Independent Accounting Firm (it being understood that all Unresolved Items must be submitted at the same time), setting forth
its own calculation of each of the Unresolved Items. The calculation for each Unresolved Item shall not be greater than the highest value,
or less than the lowest value, given such Unresolved Item in the Closing Statement or the Objection Notice, as applicable, and shall
be made using the same methodologies and practices used by the Company in the preparation of the Most Recent Balance Sheet, consistently
applied, and shall be based solely on the materials submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by Parent or the Stockholders, and not
by independent review. Neither Parent nor Stockholders shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent
Accounting Firm without the other party either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Independent
Accounting Firm's calculations of the Unresolved Items, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and not
subject to appeal. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such Unresolved Items by the
Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Stockholders
so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by the Stockholders (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Parent) shall be equal
to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction,
the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by the Stockholders (as determined by the
Independent Accounting Firm) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. The parties agree that the procedure set forth
in this Section 3.3(c) for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive
method for resolving any such disputes. The Independent Accounting Firm's determination may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(d)     Adjustments.

 

  (i)            Once
Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Section 481 Adjustment), Closing Net Working Capital
and the Working Capital Adjustment as of the Effective Time are finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3, the parties
shall recalculate the Closing Cash Payment using such finally determined amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, the Section 481 Adjustment), Closing Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Adjustment instead of Estimated
Closing Cash, Estimated Closing Indebtedness, Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, respectively.

 

    24

     

    

 

  (ii)            To
the extent that the amount of the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is less than the amount of the Closing Cash Payment shown on the
Pre-Closing Statement (the "Adjustment Deficit Amount"), then within five (5) Business Days after the date on which
the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is finally determined, the Stockholders and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse
to Parent a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount equal to the Adjustment Deficit Amount, and to the extent, if any, the amount available
for distribution from the Adjustment Escrow Account is less than the Adjustment Deficit Amount, the Stockholders shall pay to Parent
the amount of such difference up to an amount equal to the Closing Cash, promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days following
such written demand, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. To the extent the Adjustment Deficit Amount exceeds the amount
of Closing Cash, Parent shall set-off against the aggregate remaining principal balance of the Stockholder Notes (pro rata as between
the Stockholders in accordance with the principal balances of their Stockholder Notes), effective as of the Closing Date, the remaining
Adjustment Deficit Amount. Thereafter, if the amount of any such difference owed to Parent hereunder that is not satisfied from the Closing
Cash, the Adjustment Escrow Account, or by setoff against the Stockholder Notes as provided herein shall be paid by the Stockholders
to Parent in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in writing by Parent, promptly, but
in no event later than five Business Days following such written demand, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

  (iii)          To
the extent that the amount of the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is greater than the amount of the Closing Cash Payment shown on the
Pre-Closing Statement (the "Adjustment Surplus Amount"), then within five (5) Business Days after the date on which
the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is finally determined, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay an amount equal
to the Adjustment Surplus Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Stockholders (pro rata based on the number of
shares of Company Stock held by each Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time).

 

  (iv)          After
giving effect to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.3, Parent and the Stockholders shall jointly instruct
the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Stockholders (pro rata based on the number of shares of Company Stock held by each Stockholder immediately
prior to the Effective Time) the remainder of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account, if any.

 

    25

     

    

 

Section 3.4.      Withholding.
Each of Parent, Merger Subs, and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
to any Person pursuant to this ARTICLE III such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the
making of such payment under any applicable Legal Requirement; provided, however, that except with respect to any compensatory payments
to current or former employees of the Company, Parent shall (a) promptly provide such Persons with written notice of any amounts
intended to be deducted or withheld reasonably in advance of the payment thereof, (b) cooperate in good faith with such Persons
to seek to eliminate or reduce any such withholding or deduction, and (c) provide such Persons a reasonable opportunity to provide
any applicable certificates, forms or other documentation that would eliminate or reduce the requirement to deduct or withhold under
any such applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Subs, or the Surviving
Entity, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect
of which Parent, Merger Subs, or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

 

Section 3.5.      Tax
Treatment. The Mergers are intended to constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning
of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. Accordingly, the parties hereto intend the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together,
to constitute integrated steps in a single "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(b) and
(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement.

 

Section 3.6.      Effect
of the Second Merger on Capital Stock. At the Second Effective Time, as a result of the Second
Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or the Interim Surviving Corporation or any holder of capital
stock of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Interim Surviving Corporation or the holder of any membership interests in Merger Sub
LLC, each share of Interim Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall
be converted into and become one common unit of the membership interest of the Surviving Entity, and each unit of membership interest
of Merger Sub LLC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a common unit of
the membership interest of Surviving Entity.

subject to Title IV of ERISA or the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; and (iii) no

plan", within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.

 

(e)            There
is no pending or, to Company's Knowledge, threatened Matter relating to a Company Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) and no
Company Plan has, within the six years prior to the date hereof, been the subject of an examination or audit by a Governmental Authority
or the subject of an application or filing under or a participant in an amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program
sponsored by any Governmental Authority.

 

(f)            There
has been no amendment to, announcement by the Company relating to or change in employee participation or coverage under any Company Plan
that would increase the annual expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred for the most recently completed
fiscal year with respect to any director, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant, as applicable.

 

(g)            Each
Company Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been documented and operated in material compliance with such Section and
all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices, rulings and proposed and final regulations). There is no contract by which the
Company is bound to compensate any employee for taxes or interest paid pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

 

(h)            The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or together with any other events or circumstances
that on their own would not result in any entitlement to payment) entitle any employee or independent contractor of the Company to severance
pay or accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation
or benefits under, or increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any Company Plan. There is no
contract covering any employee or other service provider of the Company that, considered individually or considered collectively with
any other such contracts, will, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise directly or indirectly to the payment of any amount that
would be characterized as a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no
contract by which the Company is bound to compensate any employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Schedule
4.8(h) sets forth an accurate and complete list of all of the contracts which give rise to an obligation to make or set aside
amounts payable to or on behalf of the officers of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or
any subsequent employment termination (whether by the Company or the officer), true and complete copies of which have been previously
provided to Parent.

excise tax under Section 4980B of the Code or except for the continuation of coverage through the end of the calendar month in which

any Company Plan that is an "employee welfare benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA.

 

(j)          Neither
the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate (nor any predecessor thereof) sponsors, maintains or contributes to, or has in the past sponsored,

in response to an Order or as otherwise required by Legal Requirements; provided, further that in any such case such Restricted
Party shall inform Parent in writing of such request or obligation as soon as possible after such Restricted Party is informed of it and,
if possible, before any information is disclosed, so that a protective Order or other appropriate remedy may be obtained by Parent. If
any Restricted Party or its Representatives are obligated to make such disclosure, it shall only make such disclosure to the extent to
which it is so obligated, but not further or otherwise.

of any assertion of, or notice of any intent to conduct, any Tax Contest relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company. The Stockholders
shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest involving the Taxes of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax
Period, provided, however, that the Stockholders shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to such Tax
Contest, and (ii) with respect to any such Tax Contest that will result in a Material Adverse Effect to the Company for any taxable
period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, not enter into any settlement or compromise of such Tax Contest without
the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld. To the extent Parent
controls any Tax Contest of the Surviving Entity relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any other Tax Contest for which the Stockholders
may have liability under this Agreement, Parent shall not settle or compromise such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of
the Stockholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld

(collectively, the "Parent Indemnified Parties" and each individually a "Parent Indemnified Party")
against any Damages that a Parent Indemnified Party incurs arising out of or as a result of:

 

(a)       any

or on any certificate or other instrument or document furnished by any Company Party to Parent or Merger Subs pursuant to this Agreement

who makes an election under Section 3.1(b); and

 

(g)      any
and all Matters, demands, assessments, audits or judgments arising out of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 8.3.       Indemnification
by Parent and Merger Subs. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, Parent
and the Surviving Entity, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Stockholders, their Affiliates and their respective successors,
assigns, officers, directors, principals, attorneys, agents, employees or other Representatives (collectively, the "Stockholder
Indemnified Parties" and each individually a "Stockholder Indemnified Party") against any Damages that a Stockholder
Indemnified Party incurs arising out of or as a result of:

 

(a)       any
breach, misrepresentation or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE V in this Agreement or
on any certificate or other instrument or document furnished by Parent or Merger Subs to any Company Party pursuant to this Agreement

Section 8.4.       Limitations
on Liability.

 

(a)       Other
than with respect to the Fundamental Representations, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under
Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), except to the extent that the cumulative amount of the Damages actually
incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of all such breaches exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Threshold
Amount"), after which time only the amount of such Damages that exceeds the Threshold Amount will be indemnifiable, subject to
the limitations set forth in clause (c) below.

 

    66

     

    

 

(b)       Other
than with respect to the Fundamental Representations, the total amount of the payments that the Indemnifying Party can be required to
make with respect to all claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) will be limited
in the aggregate to a maximum of Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,700,000.00) (the "Cap"), and the cumulative
Liability of the Stockholders, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, as Indemnifying Parties for such claims will in no event
exceed such amount. The total amount of the payments that the Indemnifying Party can be required to make with respect to any breach of
its Fundamental Representations will be limited in the aggregate to a maximum of the Merger Consideration.

 

(c)       In
no event shall the Threshold Amount and Cap apply to any claims by any Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to (i) Section 8.2(b),
Section 8.2(c), Section 8.2(d), Section 8.2(e), Section 8.2(f), or Section 8.2(g) (to
the extent incurred in connection with a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(b) through (f)), (ii) Section 8.3(b),
or Section 8.3(c) (to the extent incurred in connection with a claim for indemnification under Section 8.3(b)),
and (iii) Damages any Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by fraud
or intentional misrepresentation.

 

(d)       The
amount of any Damages that are subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of the amount of
any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by the Indemnified Party or
any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party in connection with such Damages (less the costs incurred by the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates
in collecting such amounts, including any resulting increases in insurance premiums). In the event that an insurance recovery is made
by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages for which the Indemnified Party has been
indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party, a sum equal to the lesser of (i) the actual
amount of such insurance proceeds recoveries or (ii) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid with respect
to such Damages.

 

(e)       To
the extent the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, no right of subrogation
against the Indemnifying Party will accrue hereunder to or for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party or any Third Party.

 

(f)       After
the Effective Time, except with respect to specific performance for the breach by any Restricted Party of the restrictive covenants contained
in Section 6.11 and except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the right to indemnification under this
ARTICLE VIII, subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, shall constitute the sole and exclusive right
and remedy available to any party hereto for any actual or threatened breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations
set forth in this Agreement, and none of the parties hereto shall initiate or maintain any legal action at law or in equity against any
other party hereto which is directly or indirectly related to any breach or threatened breach of the representations, warranties, covenants
or obligations set forth in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, subject to the exceptions
described in the immediately preceding sentence, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirement, any
and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth
herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and its Affiliates and
each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Legal Requirement, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions
set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

 

    67

     

    

 

Section 8.5.       Indemnification
Procedures.

 

(a)       Third
Party Claims. If a party entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE VIII (an "Indemnified Party")
receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding or Matter made or brought by a Third
Party (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party wishes to assert
an indemnification claim against the party or parties subject to such indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VIII (the
 "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof
("Claim Notice"). The failure to promptly provide such a Claim Notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of
such failure. A Claim Notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably
practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying
Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel (as reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary
to defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel
selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise
or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in
this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(b) pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and
seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Company, Stockholders,
Parent, and the Surviving Entity shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third
Party Claim.

 

(b)      Settlement
of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into a settlement
of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.5. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading
to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party or others or providing any restrictions
on the operation of such Person's business as conducted, and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified
Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and
agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party
fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to
contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim
shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume
defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer
to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.4(a) it shall
not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

 

    68

     

    

 

(c)       Direct
Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim")
shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt
written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the
Direct Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or
may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond
in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives
a reasonable opportunity to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent
any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the
Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and
personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives
may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed
to have accepted such claim.

 

Section 8.6.       Payments;
Escrow; Set-off.

 

(a)       Within
ten (10) Business Days after the resolution of any indemnification claim by any Parent Indemnified Party hereunder pursuant to which
such Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to any payment from the Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.1, such payment shall
be made by the Stockholders. Any claims for indemnification made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be satisfied first out
of the amounts held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, and the Stockholders agree to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent such joint
written instructions or other documentation required by the Escrow Agent in order to make any disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Account
required hereunder. After the amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Account have been fully exhausted and prior to pursuing payment from the
Stockholders, Parent shall set-off against the aggregate remaining principal balance of the Stockholder Notes (pro rata as between the
Stockholders in accordance with the principal balances of their Stockholder Notes) an amount equal to the portion of the indemnification
claim which is not paid from the Indemnity Escrow Account. The amount of any indemnification claim owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties
hereunder that is not satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Account or by setoff against the Stockholder Notes as provided herein shall
be paid by the Stockholders to such Purchaser Indemnified Parties in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated
in writing by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

 

    69

     

    

 

(b)      After
the resolution of any indemnification claim by any Stockholder Indemnified Party hereunder pursuant to which such Stockholder Indemnified
Party is entitled to any payment from Parent, Parent shall make such payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account(s) designated in writing by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties within ten (10) Business Days of such resolution.

 

(c)       The
Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in seeking to collect any payments due under this Section 8.6.

 

Section 8.7.       Mitigation.
Parent, the Surviving Entity, the Stockholders, and the Company agree to, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, use their commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that no
party will be required to use such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party.

 

Section 8.8.       Treatment
of Payments. Any indemnification payments made by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any payments made pursuant to Section 3.3
shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration.

 

Section 8.9.       Effect
of Knowledge. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement.

 

Section 8.10.     Materiality.
For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Transaction
Document and calculating the amount of Damages that are subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation
and warranty in this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality
or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification or any qualification of similar import contained in such representation or warranty
(as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation and warranty).

a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes
a breach of this Agreement; and provided further that if all conditions set forth in ARTICLE IX shall have been satisfied
or waived (other than those that are satisfied by action taken at the Closing) other than the closing of the Financing, then the Parent
may extend the Marketing Period for up to two additional periods of sixty (60) days (“First Extension Period”) and
ninety (90) days (“Second Extension Period”; each of the First Extension Period and Second Extension Period may be
individually referred to herein as an “Extension Period” and collectively, the “Extension Periods”),
respectively, by (i) providing written notice to the Company and Stockholders not later than (1) with respect to the First Extension
Period, the expiration of the Marketing Period, and (2) with respect to the Second Extension Period, the expiration of the First
Extension Period, and (ii) paying to the Company an extension payment of (A) with respect to the First Extension Period, Fifty

to or more favorable to Parent than the terms of the Financing; provided that Parent shall not be obligated to consummate the Closing
during the Extension Period unless it has obtained the Financing. Each Extension Payment made by Parent shall be nonrefundable upon receipt
and treated an option payment made by Parent to retain the right to consummate the Mergers. No Extension Payment shall be applied to reduce
the Merger Consideration or Termination Fee. shall be nonrefundable and fully earned upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing

Fee in accordance with Section 10.3(b) upon any termination subject thereto; or

 

(e)       by
Parent or the Company if any Governmental Entity shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Legal Requirement or
Order, or refused to grant any required consent or approval, that has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement illegal or that otherwise prohibits the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Legal Requirement,
Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

 

Section 10.2.     Procedure

written notice thereof shall be given by a terminating party to the other parties, and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions

    75

     

    

 

Section 10.3.     Effect
of Termination; Fees on Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, then:

 

(a)       Parent
on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand, shall promptly cause to be returned to Parent or the Company, as applicable, or cause
the destruction of, all documents and information obtained in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
and all documents and information obtained by either party in connection with Parent's investigation of the Company, including any copies
made by or supplied to Parent, Stockholders or any of their respective Representatives of any such documents or information. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, one copy of such documents or information may be retained by each of Parent and the Company's external legal counsel for
evidentiary purposes in the case of any legal Matters or threatened legal Matters relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby; and each of Parent and the Company need not delete from its electronic archival systems any information archived
in an integrated fashion with other, unrelated information of Parent or the Company, as applicable, as long as Parent and the Company
make no effort to retrieve such archived information.

 

(b)       If
this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(c) or by either party pursuant Section 10.1(d),
Parent shall pay to the Company a fee of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Termination Fee”),
which fee shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after written notice of such termination, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. The Company agrees that in the event that the Termination Fee is paid
to the Company pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), (i) the payment of such Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of the Company, the Stockholders, and all of their Affiliates against Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Affiliates or Representatives,
and (ii) in no event will the Company, its Stockholders or any of their Affiliates be entitled to recover any other money damages
or any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, (1) any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Mergers
to be consummated, (2) the termination of this Agreement, (3) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or
(4) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement, and upon payment
to the Company of the Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 10.3(b), neither Parent, the Merger Subs nor any of
their directors, officers or other Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation to the Company, its Stockholders or any of
their Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which the Termination Fee is paid (whether due to any willful, intentional or unintentional
breach by Parent or a Merger Sub, or for any other reason), then the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity,
in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Affiliates, controlling persons, stockholders, directors,
officers, employees, agents or other representatives (the “Parent Related Parties”) for any breach, loss or damage
shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Termination Fee, only to the extent provided for by this Section 10.3(b),
and upon payment of such amount in accordance with this Section 10.3(b) no Person shall have any rights or claims against
any of the Parent Related Parties under this Agreement, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection
herewith, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of
the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, in respect of
any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s rights under this Section 10.3 prior to the termination
of this Agreement or the Company’s right to seek payment of and be paid the Termination Fee in accordance with this Agreement if
the Company has pursued alternative remedies hereunder in lieu of pursuing the Termination Fee and the Company ceases to pursue such remedies
without having obtained them.

 

    76

     

    

 

(c)       Each
of the Company, Parent and each Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in Section 10.3(b) above are
an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated
damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such fee is paid for
the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on
the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with
precision, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

 

(d)       Except
as otherwise set forth in Section 10.3(b) above, no party shall have any duties or obligations to the other parties hereto
after the date of such termination and none of the parties will have any further liability hereunder; provided, however,
(i) except as provided in Section 10.3, no such termination shall relieve any party from Liability for any fraud or willful
breach by that party, and (ii) this Section 10.3, ARTICLE VIII, and ARTICLE XI shall remain in
full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement (together with any corresponding defined terms) in accordance with
their respective terms.

Remedy. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, except pursuant to Section 10.3(b) above, the
sole and exclusive remedy of each party in the event of a breach (including any willful breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement set forth in this Agreement by another party will be (i) termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE X
or (ii) specific performance in accordance with Section 11.9. For the avoidance of doubt, while the parties may
seek specific performance in accordance with Section 11.9 in no circumstance shall the any party hereto be permitted or entitled
to receive (A) payment of monetary damages prior to the termination of this Agreement, or (B) both a grant of specific performance
to cause the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and payment of any monetary damages.

or the Surviving Entity that either is existing on the date hereof or that arises in the future and, in each case, relates to this Agreement,
any Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Parent (on behalf of itself and the Company) hereby (a) waives
any claim that it has or may have that H+C has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation
and (b) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises with respect to matters related to this Agreement, any Transaction Document,
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby after the Closing between Parent or the Surviving Entity, on the one hand, and the

H+C may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or handled matters for the Company at any time
prior to the Closing. Parent (on behalf of itself and the Surviving Entity) and Stockholders each further agree that (x) any and
all documents in H+C’s files which constitute attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work-product relating to this
Agreement, any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case, relating to periods prior to the
Closing which constitute attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work-products shall be the property of and shall be retained

(y) as to all privileged communications among H+C and the Company or its Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, the attorney-client privilege
and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Stockholders and may be controlled by the Stockholders and shall not pass to
or be claimed by the Parent or the Surviving Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Parent
or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries and a third party other than a party to this Agreement,
Parent and the Surviving Entity, including on behalf of the Company as to matters prior to Closing, may assert the attorney-client privilege
to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by H+C to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Parent nor the Surviving
Entity may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholders.
