Confidential  Information shall not include information which is or becomes generally available to the public  other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive or its representatives in violation of this    

 

10    Agreement.  Executive agrees that Confidential Information will be used solely in connection with,  and in the scope of, Executive’s employment by the Company, and will be kept strictly  confidential. Executive shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity in  any manner whatsoever. All Confidential Information is and shall remain the exclusive property  of the Company. At the Company’s written request, Executive shall return or destroy all  Confidential Information, including, without limitation, all documents, and materials, whether in  printed or electronic form, that contain Confidential Information (including those prepared by or  for Executive). Executive shall certify in writing, at the Company’s written request, that Executive  has destroyed all material of any type or format containing or reflecting any Confidential  Information, and will not retain any copies, extracts, or other reproductions, in whole or in part, of  such material except as is required by law. The destruction of any such material shall not relieve  Executive of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.    27. Following the Retirement Date for a period of six months, at the request of the  Company, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with respect to matters involving the  Company about which the Executive has or may have personal knowledge, including any such  matters which may arise after the Retirement Date, not to exceed five (5) hours in any given month  following the Retirement Date. The Company will reimburse Executive for any out-of-pocket  expenses incurred as a result of such cooperation.  If Executive’s cooperation exceeds said five (5)  hours in any given month, Executive will be compensated for his time above five (5) hours at a  rate of $100/hr.      28. It is recognized and acknowledged by Executive that a breach of one or more of the  covenants contained herein will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the  exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for  any such breach shall be inadequate.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach  or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained herein, in addition to any other remedy  which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief  and specific performance to prevent or prohibit such breach.  Executive agrees to waive any  requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.   29. Effective as of the Retirement Date, unless otherwise requested by the Company in  writing, Executive will, automatically and without further action on his part or any other person or  entity, resign from all offices, boards of directors (or similar governing bodies), committees of  such boards of directors (or similar governing bodies) and committees of the Company, its  subsidiaries, and affiliates.  Executive will execute and deliver to the Company any such further  documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent  of this Paragraph 29. If any payment or benefit due under this Agreement, together with all other  payments and benefits that Executive receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or any  of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or related entities, would (if paid or provided) constitute an excess  parachute payment for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as  amended (the “Code”), the amounts otherwise payable and benefits otherwise due under this  Agreement will either (i) be delivered in full, or (ii) be limited to the minimum extent necessary  to ensure that no portion thereof will fail to be tax-deductible to the Company by reason of Section  280G of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal,  state or local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the  Code, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of  

 

11    benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be subject to the excise tax  imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.  In the event that the payments and/or benefits are to be  reduced pursuant to this Paragraph 30, such payments and benefits shall be reduced such that the  reduction of cash compensation to be provided to the Executive as a result of this Paragraph 29 is  minimized.

 A. Seller is engaged in the business of the developing and manufacturing of drug delivery platforms and devices, dietary supplement products and pharmaceutical products, including, without limitation, CUREcream, CUREdrops, CUREfilm, CUREform, CUREpods, and Sildenafil Citrate (the “Business”); and
  
 B. Seller wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase and assume from Seller, the rights and obligations of Seller to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (as defined herein), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
  
 ARTICLE I
 PURCHASE AND SALE
  
 Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale of Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the assets set forth on Schedule 1.01 attached hereto (the “Purchased Assets”), free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (“Encumbrance”).
  
 Section 1.02 Assumption of Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge the liabilities and obligations set forth on Schedule 1.02, but only to the extent that (i) such liabilities and obligations do not relate to any breach, default or violation by Seller on or prior to the Closing or (ii) notwithstanding execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption of Lease, such liabilities and obligations do not relate to any amounts due or claimed to be due under the lease referenced therein for or relating to any period before Closing (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of Seller or the Business of any kind, whether known or unknown, contingent, matured or otherwise, whether currently existing or hereinafter created (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).
  
 Section 1.03 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be $20,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer to a bank account designated by Seller, by cancellation of indebtedness of the Seller to Buyer, by issuance of a secured promissory note in a principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000, or any combination of such methods in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.03. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price as follows: 
   
 (a) An amount equal to $4,150,000 of the Purchase Price shall be paid by cancellation of the indebtedness owed from Seller to Buyer set forth on Schedule 1.03(a) (the “Loan Amount”);
  
  
 	 
	2
	

	 

 
 
  
 
 (b) A total amount equal to $15,850,000 of the Purchase Price, minus the Holdback Amount, minus the aggregate dollar amount of Rolled Vacation and the employer-portion of any payroll, employment and other similar taxes applicable thereto set forth on Schedule 1.03(b), minus $22,500 assumed by Buyer at the Closing as Assumed Liabilities related to a commercial purchase order set forth on Schedule 1.03(b), will be paid to Seller on the Closing Date in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in Schedule 1.03(b) (the “Closing Consideration”); and
  
 (c) The issuance and delivery to Seller of a secured promissory note with a principal amount of $2,000,000 payable to Seller, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Holdback Note”), duly executed by Buyer.
  
 Section 1.04 Third-Party Payments. Immediately following receipt of the Closing Consideration, Seller will initiate wires to make payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of (i) the “Payoff Amounts” due pursuant to the payoff letters which Seller delivered to Buyer prior to the date hereof, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in such payoff letters, for each item of indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1.04(i), (ii) Seller’s pro rata portion of the first months’ (i.e., July 2022) rent due at Closing under the Assignment and Assumption of Lease, which amount is set forth on Schedule 1.04(ii) to the Landlord, (iii) any overdue rent, overage, interest, fine and penalty set forth in Section 3.06(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules to the Landlord, and (iv) the equipment lease buyout amount set forth in Schedule 1.04(iv) to VideoJet Technologies LTD. Immediately following receipt of the Buyer Lease Payments, Seller will initiate a wire to make payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of the total amount of Buyer Lease Payments to the Landlord.
  
 Section 1.05 Loan Amount Payoff. Buyer hereby (a) acknowledges and agrees that at the Closing the Loan Amount shall be automatically cancelled by Buyer, and such cancellation will constitute payment in full and complete satisfaction of all of the Company’s indebtedness and obligations to Buyer of any amounts advanced to Seller by Buyer prior to the Closing (the “Cancelled Indebtedness”), and (b) agree that, effective upon the Closing, (i) all of the Cancelled Indebtedness shall be automatically satisfied in full and irrevocably and automatically discharged, terminated and released, (ii) all the security interests, mortgages, liens, pledges, charges and other encumbrances, if any, in Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s favor to secure the Cancelled Indebtedness shall be automatically released with no further action on Seller’s part, and (iii) if any Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) statements were filed in connection with the Cancelled Indebtedness, Buyer, on its and its Affiliates’ behalf, hereby authorizes the Seller, or any other party on behalf of the Seller, to prepare and file any UCC termination statements or other documents necessary to evidence the release of any lien in any of the Seller’s properties or assets (and to do so without Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ signatures or further consent). Buyer further agree to procure, execute and deliver to the Seller, from time to time, all further releases, termination statements, certificates, instruments, and documents, and to take any other actions, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the Seller or which are required to evidence the consummation of the payoff, discharge, release, termination or any other actions contemplated by this Section 1.04.

 Section 1.06 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within 60 days following the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 90 days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s or Buyer’s accountants. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be reported in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.
  
 Section 1.07 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any applicable Tax law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

 Section 7.07 Indemnification Procedures. 
  
 (a) If an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Buyer, if such Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnitee, or to the Seller, if such Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnitee. Such notice must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, if any, and shall specify the basis for such claim with reasonable specificity. Failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of a Third Party Claim will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party as to such Third Party Claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VII or the amount thereof, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a Loss under this ARTICLE VII. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will establish the merits and amount of such claim by mutual agreement or, if mutual agreement has not been reached within sixty (60) days following delivery of the dispute notice, then by dispute resolution pursuant to Section 8.10.
  
 (b) Within five business days following the final determination of any claim for Losses made by any of the Buyer Indemnitees (by mutual agreement or by dispute resolution pursuant to Section 8.10), Buyer shall deduct from the unpaid principal of the Holdback Note the amount of such finally determined Losses. In the event that the Losses exceeds the amounts then remaining of the principal amount of the Holdback Note and to the extent recovery for such Losses is not otherwise limited pursuant to Section 7.06, the Seller shall be required to promptly pay to such Buyer Indemnitee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by such Buyer Indemnitee, the amount of such Losses.
  
 (c) Within five business days following the final determination of any claim for Losses made by any of the Seller Indemnitees, Buyer shall be required to promptly pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by Seller, the amount of such Losses.
  
 (d) In case any Third Party Claim, action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (a “Claim”), the parties shall discuss in good faith whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be able to control such defense without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party controls the Claim, it shall not settle or compromise such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a release of the Indemnified Party, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability with respect to such Claim and the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that the Claim is fully indemnifiable hereunder and the amount of the Claim is less than the amounts then remaining under the Holdback Amount. Each party shall cooperate with the other parties in the defense of any Claims and keep the other parties apprised on a reasonably prompt basis of all material developments with respect to such Claims.
