    	30 

    	 

    

predicated on this Agreement or otherwise,
will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of any of the covenants in this Section 5.07; (iii) this
Section 5.07 is a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) the provisions
of Section 7.12 shall be applicable to the enforcement of Buyer’s rights under this Section 5.07.

(c)              
It is the intention of each of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in Section 5.07(c)(ii)
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time that is not permitted by
Law, or is in any way construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall
not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a
court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform such Section 5.07(c)(ii) to provide for a covenant
having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in Section
5.07(c)(ii)) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law. Sellers acknowledge that any breach of the terms, conditions
or covenants set forth in Section 5.07(c)(ii) shall be competitively unfair and may cause irreparable damage to Buyer.

Section
5.08.      Cease
of Use of Seller Names. Sellers shall (a) following the Closing, not use the trademarks or service
marks or any other tradename of Sellers including but not limited to Water Now, HydraSpin, USA, HydraSpin, or any similar term
in its name and (b) within a reasonable time following the Closing, change their names to delete any reference to the same and
take such actions as are necessary to consummate such name changes, including the making of any filings with any appropriate Governmental
Body as shall be necessary to amend its Fundamental Documents or amend any of its qualifications in all applicable jurisdictions
to reflect such changes of name. Buyer shall have all of Sellers’ rights to use and adopt such names.

Section
5.09.      Further
Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, Sellers shall, at the request
of Buyer and without further consideration and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, execute and deliver such further instruments
or documents and take all such further action as Buyer may reasonably request in order to evidence or otherwise implement the consummation
of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.09 shall require Sellers to pay any consent
fee (or make any other payment to a counterparty), or prohibit the dissolution of Sellers.

Section
5.10.      Customer
and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, Sellers will not interfere with Buyer in
its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Sellers existing prior to the Closing
and relating to the Business to be operated by Buyer after the Closing, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory
authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and Sellers will satisfy all of its remaining Liabilities in a manner
that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Sellers will refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to such business. Sellers
shall not take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the
business of Sellers or Buyer to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of Sellers or Buyer.

Section
5.11.      Removing
Excluded Assets. Within a reasonable time following the Closing Date, Sellers shall remove all
Excluded Assets from all Leased Real Property to be

    	31 

    	 

    

occupied by Buyer. Such removal
shall be done in such manner as to avoid any damage to the Leased Real Property and other properties to be occupied by Buyer and
minimize any disruption of the business operations to be conducted by Buyer after the Closing. Any damage to the Assets or to the
Leased Real Property resulting from such removal shall be paid by Sellers at the Closing. Should Sellers fail to remove the Excluded
Assets as required by this Section, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, (a) to remove the Excluded Assets
at Sellers’ sole cost and expense; (b) to store the Excluded Assets and to charge Sellers all storage costs associated
therewith; (c) to treat the Excluded Assets as unclaimed and to proceed to dispose of the same under the laws governing unclaimed
property; or (d) to exercise any other right or remedy conferred by this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any Excluded Assets not
removed by Sellers within a reasonable time following the Closing Date.

Section
5.12.      Reports
and Returns. Sellers shall promptly after the Closing prepare and file all reports and returns
required by Law relating to the business of Sellers as conducted using the Assets, to and including the Effective Date.

Section
5.13.      Retention
of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, Sellers shall retain for a period consistent
with Sellers’ record-retention policies and practices those Records of Sellers relating to the Business. Sellers also shall
provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least three (3) days’
prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or tax returns or deal with tax audits. 

Section
5.14.      Employees
of Sellers. As of the Closing Date, the employment of all employees of Sellers shall be terminated,
and Buyer shall rehire such employees on such terms as it deems appropriate.

Section
5.15.      No Negotiations.

(a)              
Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, Sellers will, and will cause each
of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries
or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any non-public information to any Person (other than Buyer) relating to an
Acquisition Proposal.

(b)              
As used herein, the term “Acquisition Proposal” means any binding or non-binding agreement, expression of interest,
inquiry, offer, proposal, plan, understanding or arrangement contemplating (i) a merger or consolidation involving Sellers; (ii)
the sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, sale of equity securities, share or interest
exchange or otherwise, of all or a significant portion of the assets or equity securities of Sellers or the Business; (iii) the
sale or other disposition by Sellers (including by way of merger, consolidation, share or interest exchange or any similar transaction)
or issuance of securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) of Sellers,
or (iv) the recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, or dissolution of Sellers.

(c)              
Notwithstanding the provision of Section 5.15 (a), prior to the occurrence of the approval of the transactions contemplated
hereby by the Water Now shareholders, Water

    	32 

    	 

    

Now may withhold, withdraw, amend or
modify its approval of this Agreement if it receives a bona fide third-party, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that Water
Now’s board of directors reasonably concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, constitutes or
would constitute a superior Acquisition Proposal, which if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated (taking into account
all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, the likelihood of the proposal being financed and the Person making
the proposal), and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to Water Now’s stockholders from a financial
point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section
5.16.      Transfer
Taxes.All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such
Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
(including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at
its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Sellers shall cooperate with
respect thereto as reasonably necessary).

Section
7.01.      Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)              
By mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer;

(b)              
By either Buyer, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, if there has been a breach on the part of the other Party(ies)
in the representations and warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, or if events have occurred which have made it impossible
to satisfy a condition precedent to the terminating Party’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
unless such terminating Party’s willful breach of this Agreement has caused the condition to be unsatisfied;

(c)              
By either Sellers or Buyer if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”),
by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under

    	36 

    	 

    

Article II hereof; provided
that neither Buyer nor Sellers will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) if such Person’s
willful breach of this Agreement has prevented satisfaction of the conditions or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby at or prior to such time; or

(d)              
By any Party if the Water Now Shareholder Approval is not obtained on or before the Outside Date.

(e)              
By Sellers pursuant to: (i) the provisions of Section 5.16 (c), provided, however, shall Sellers terminate pursuant to circumstances
arising out of such provision, Sellers shall pay to Buyer a break-up fee equal to (a) all amounts provided to Sellers as Deposits

(and no course of dealing between or among any of the Parties) shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege.
No waiver of any default on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default. No single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further or full exercise thereof.

Section
7.05.      Notices.

Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
this Agreement shall be considered divisible and inoperative as to such provision to the extent
it is deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect; provided, however, that if any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
there shall be added hereto automatically a provision as similar as possible to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
