(v)         any

(viii)      any
Liability arising out of or relating to any violation of Laws and Regulations by Seller.

 

1.4         Purchase
Price. In consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets by Seller to Buyer, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver by
the appropriate party of all conditions set forth herein, Buyer (or Dynasil with respect to the issuance of the Shares (as defined
below)) shall:

 

(a)          assume
the Assumed Liabilities;

 

(b)          issue
to Parent 700,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock (the “Stock Purchase Price”); and

 

(c)          pay
to Seller the sum of $500,000, plus the $25,000 security deposit held by Rochester Business Center LLC, in cash by wire transfer
to an account specified by Seller (the “Cash Purchase Price” and together with the Stock Purchase Price, the
“Purchase Price”).

 

1.5         Payment
of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer (or Dynasil with respect to the issuance of the Shares) shall pay Seller the Purchase
Price by:

 

(a)          directing
the Transfer Agent to promptly issue to Dynasil for delivery to Parent, a stock certificate representing 600,000 Shares of the
Stock Purchase Price in the name of Parent;

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(b)          directing
the Transfer Agent to promptly issue to Dynasil, in its capacity as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), a stock
certificate representing 50,000 Shares of the Stock Purchase Price in the name of Parent (the “Escrow Shares”,
including all dividends, distributions or earnings attributable thereto, collectively, the “Escrow Fund”), for
the purpose of securing the indemnification rights of Buyer under this Agreement, and a stock certificate representing 50,000 Shares
of the Stock Purchase Price in the name of Parent (the “Grant Holdback Shares”, including all dividends, distributions
or earnings attributable thereto, collectively, the “Grant Holdback Fund”), for the purpose of securing the
indemnification rights of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of this Agreement. Any dividends, distributions or earnings on the Escrow
Shares held in the Escrow Fund and on the Grant Holdback Shares held in the Grant Holdback Fund shall be deposited by the Escrow
Agent into separate interest bearing bank accounts established by the Escrow Agent for such purpose. The Escrow Agent shall comply
with the procedures pertaining to the Escrow Fund, the Grant Holdback Fund and any disputes related thereto as set forth in Article
9 below. Voting rights to the Escrow Shares and the Grant Holdback Shares shall be exercisable by Parent. Twelve months after the
Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), the Escrow Agent will deliver the remaining Escrow Shares in the Escrow
Fund, if any, and any dividends, distributions or earnings with respect to such Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Fund and
accrued interest thereon, to Parent; provided, however, that subject to and in accordance with the terms of Article 9, the Escrow
Agent shall withhold from delivery of the Escrow Fund such number of Escrow Shares as shall have a value, based upon the per share
average closing price for the preceding 10 days of the Escrow Shares at the Escrow Release Date, equal to any amounts then in dispute
relating to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement, provided further that the withheld Escrow Shares, to the
extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 9, shall be delivered to Parent upon resolution
of such dispute. Twenty-Four months after the Closing Date (the “Grant Holdback Release Date”), the Escrow Agent
will deliver the remaining Grant Holdback Shares in the Grant Holdback Fund, if any, and any dividends, distributions or earnings
with respect to such Grant Holdback Shares then held in the Grant Holdback Fund and accrued interest thereon, to Parent; provided,
however, that subject to and in accordance with the terms of Article 9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold from delivery of the Grant
Holdback Fund such number of Grant Holdback Shares as shall have a value, based upon the per share average closing price for the
preceding 10 days of the Grant Holdback Shares at the Grant Holdback Release Date, equal to any amounts then in dispute relating
to indemnification obligations arising pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of this Agreement, provided further that the withheld Grant Holdback
Shares, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Agreement, shall
be delivered to Parent upon resolution of such dispute;

 

(c)          paying
the Cash Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.

 

1.6         Transfer
of Purchased Assets and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
Buyer all consents, certificates, documents, instruments and other items reasonably requested by Buyer to give effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, including those set forth in clauses (a) through (c) below. Such instruments of transfer shall include, without
limitation, the following: (a) a Bill of Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Bill
of Sale”); (b) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the “Assumption Agreement”); and (c) assignments and necessary approvals, consents and waivers duly executed
by Seller, Buyer and all necessary third parties with respect to all Acquired Agreements and all Permits, to the extent such Permits
are transferable. Seller shall take all requisite steps to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased
Assets and the Business.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

1.7         Closing.
The closing of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”)
shall take place on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”), concurrently with the delivery and execution of this
Agreement by the electronic delivery of executed documents, and shall be deemed effective as of 12:01 A.M. on June 26, 2014.

 

1.8         Allocation
of Purchase Price. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase
Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets and the non-competition and non-solicitation agreements set forth
in Article 10 (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with
Section 1060 of the Code. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects
to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to
Seller. In the event of any such objection, 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 thirty (30) days after
the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller, such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial, nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Buyer and Seller. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm
shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. Buyer and Seller also each agree to file Tax Returns
(including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594 with its federal income tax return for the taxable year that
includes the Closing Date) consistently with the foregoing and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury
Regulations, and to act in accordance with such allocation in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating
to this matter.

 

1.9         Transfer
Taxes. All transfer, excise, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other similar Taxes and fees (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer
Taxes”) shall be paid by Buyer, and Buyer will timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect
to all Transfer Taxes.

 

1.10       Withholding.
Each Party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (or, as the case
may be, be promptly reimbursed therefor) such amounts as such Party reasonably determines, after consultation with its counsel,
that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state,
local, provincial or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person entitled to receipt of the payment in respect of which such deduction
and withholding was made by such Party. Any such withholding shall be paid by such Party to the appropriate authorities on a timely
basis.

return, or statement, and any schedule, attachment, or amendment thereto, including without limitation any consolidated, combined
or unitary return or other document (including any related or supporting information), filed or required to be filed with any taxing
authority in connection with the determination, assessment, collection, imposition, payment, refund or credit of any federal, state,
local or foreign Tax or the administration of the laws relating to any Tax, and (ii) “Tax” or “Taxes”
means any and all taxes, charges, fees, levies, deficiencies or other assessments of whatever kind or nature including, without
limitation, all net income, gross income, profits, gross receipts, excise, real or personal property, sales, ad valorem, withholding,

duty, fees assessments or charges of any kind whatsoever, imposed by any taxing authority, including any liability therefor as
a transferee or successor (under Section 6901 of the Code or any similar provision of applicable law) or by contract, as a result
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of applicable law, or as a result of any Tax sharing or similar
agreement, together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax relating thereto.

 

(b)          Except

filed Tax Returns in all jurisdictions where it is required to file and neither Seller nor Parent has received written notice of
any claim by any taxing authority in any other jurisdiction that Seller or the Purchased Assets are or may be subject to taxation

(d)          No
audit, investigation, examination or administrative or judicial Tax proceeding is pending or is being conducted, or to the knowledge
of Seller, threatened with respect to Seller or the Purchased Assets. Neither Seller nor Parent has received any communication
from any taxing authority which has caused or should reasonably cause them to believe that an audit is forthcoming. No deficiency
for any Taxes has been proposed, or is expected to be proposed, against Seller or with respect to the Purchased Assets, which deficiency
has not been paid in full, and Seller does not know of any basis for the assertion of a Tax deficiency against it. No issue relating
to Seller or with respect to the Purchased Assets or involving any Tax for which Seller might be liable has been resolved in favor
of any taxing authority in any audit or examination which, by application of the same principles, could reasonably be expected
to result in a deficiency for Taxes for any other period.

There are no outstanding Orders of any Governmental Entity against Seller, the Purchased Assets, or the Business. Except as set
forth in Section 2.9 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there is no Litigation pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened
against Seller, the Purchased Assets, or the Business. There is no Litigation by Seller pending or threatened against any third
party with respect to the Business or any of the Purchased Assets.

the landlord or tenant, lessor or lessee (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such Lease, are in
full force and effect, are valid and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and, except as set forth in Section
2.10(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule there is not, any existing default or event of default (or event which with notice
or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) by Seller or, to Seller’s knowledge, any other party that would give
rise to any material claim. Except as set forth in Section 2.10(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, none of the Leases
shall be suspended, terminated, impaired, adversely modified or become terminable, in whole or in part, as a result of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

owns and has good and marketable title to, or, in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of
its properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for use in the Business, including, without limitation, the Purchased
Assets, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens and the Syncrolite Security Interest). The Purchased Assets constitute
all the assets, properties and rights, including without limitation, contractual rights, that are necessary for the conduct of
the Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as currently conducted by Seller. No Person other than Buyer has
any agreement, option, or any right (whether by law or contract) capable of becoming an agreement or option for the purchase or
acquisition from Seller of any of the Purchased Assets. Section 2.10(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules contains a list
of equipment owned or used in the operation of the Business and a description of the condition of such equipment as of June 26,

(d)          Seller
makes no representation or warranty regarding the marketability, value, quality, or condition of the Purchased Assets consisting
of tangible personal property, including, without limitation, the buildings, plants, structures, machinery, equipment, furniture,
leasehold improvements, fixtures, vehicles, any related capitalized items, all inventory of Seller (including all finished goods,
work in process, raw materials, spare parts and all other materials and supplies to be used or consumed by Seller in the production
of finished goods), and any other tangible personal property of Seller used in connection with the Business (the “Personal
Property”). Seller hereby disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose as to
the Personal Property and Buyer accepts the Personal Property “AS IS” and assumes all risks related thereto

(a)          Acquisition
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Parent in reliance upon Parent’s representation to Buyer and Dynasil,
which by Parent’s execution of this Agreement, Parent hereby confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by Parent will be acquired
for investment for Parent’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that Parent has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement, Parent further represents that Parent does not presently have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with
respect to any of the Shares. Parent has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 3.8(a) or the Agreement shall prohibit Parent from pledging the Shares, other
than the Escrow Shares and the Grant Holdback Shares, as collateral on its credit facility with its third party lender.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(b)          Restricted
Securities. Parent understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason
of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Seller’s representations as expressed herein. Parent understands
that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant
to these laws, Parent must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Parent
acknowledges that Dynasil has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares. Parent further acknowledges that if an exemption
from registration or qualification is available (including under Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act), it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements
relating to Dynasil which are outside of Parent’s control, and which Dynasil is under no obligation and may not be able to
satisfy. Dynasil shall use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct its transfer agent to remove any restricted legend on the
Shares, provided that all requirements under the Securities Act are satisfied.

 

(c)          Legends.
Parent understands that the Shares will be notated with the following legend and any legend required by the securities laws of
any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Shares represented by the certificate, instrument, or book entry so legended:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION
WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933.”

 

(d)          Accredited
Investor. Parent is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to more effectively transfer, convey and assign
to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title to, all of the Purchased Assets, to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control

efforts to refer all customer inquiries relating to the Business to Buyer from and after the Closing.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

(b)          The

is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed without causing a violation of applicable Laws and Regulations
or without the authorization, approval, consent or waiver of the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto, or any other
Person, including a Governmental Entity (or if such Interest would be breached in the event of a sale, assignment, transfer or
conveyance without such approval, consent or waiver), then this Agreement shall not, in the event such issuer or other Person shall
object to such assignment, constitute an assignment or conveyance thereof absent such approval, consent or waiver. Seller shall

to provide the benefits of any such Interests to Buyer.

offer employment to, or to employ, any Seller Employee, (y) no Liability in respect of any Seller Employee or Former Seller Employee
for salary, compensation, severance, health, welfare, retirement or other benefits arising out of employment or engagement with

and Regulations and the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plans, the Continuing Employees who were participating immediately
prior to the Closing Date in the Employee Plans for which Buyer has a corresponding benefit plan shall (i) be eligible to participate
in Buyer’s employee benefit plans (“Buyer’s Employee Plans”) on such terms as determined by Buyer
and each Continuing Employee and (ii) receive service credit under Buyer’s Employee Plans for eligibility and vesting purposes
(but not for purposes of benefit accruals or employer contributions) for prior service with Seller (to the extent recognized by
the Seller Employee Plans). Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer to
amend or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time. Buyer and Seller agree that the Seller Employees are not third-party
beneficiaries of this Agreement.

payment is to be made. To the extent that the value of the Escrow Shares is insufficient to cover the entire amount of the Losses
incurred under Section 9.2, then Seller or Parent shall make payment to Buyer for any remaining amount owed for such Losses,
at the election of Seller or Parent, by either (i) delivering Shares of Common Stock of Dynasil (other than the Grant Holdback
Shares) of such whole number as shall equal the amount of such Losses divided by the per share average closing price for the preceding

for any remaining amount owed for such Losses, at the election of Seller or Parent, by either (i) delivering Shares of Common Stock
of Dynasil of such whole number as shall equal the amount of such Losses divided by the per share average closing price for the
preceding 10 days of such Shares of Common Stock of Dynasil on the date such indemnification payment is to be made, or (ii) delivering

(c)          Subject

9.5         Limitation
on Indemnification. The indemnification obligations of the Parties under this Article 9 shall be subject to the following limitations:

 

(a)          Time
Limitations on Claims. No indemnification shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) with respect
to claims made following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that indemnification for claims based on
any inaccuracy or breach of the representations made in Sections 2.1, 3.2, 4.1 and 5.1 (Organization),
3.1 (Title to Seller Interests), 2.2, 3.3, 4.2 and 5.2 (Authority), 2.4 (Capitalization), 2.8
(Tax Matters), 2.10 (Properties; Title to Assets) and 2.17 (Broker’s Fee) shall be payable until the expiration of
the applicable statutes of limitation (such claims referred to above being collectively referred to as the “Excepted Claims”).

 

(b)          Threshold
on Losses. No Losses shall be paid pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) unless and until the aggregate claims
for Losses exceed $50,000, after which the Party seeking indemnification hereunder (such Party, the “Indemnified Party”)
shall be entitled to all such Losses commencing from the first dollar of all such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to all Losses incurred as a result of any Excepted Claim, commencing from the first dollar of such Losses.

 

(c)          Ceiling
on Claims for Losses. Except for Losses incurred as a result of any Excepted Claim, the maximum aggregate liability of a Party,
either Buyer and Dynasil, jointly and severally, or Seller and Parent, jointly and severally, from whom indemnification is sought
hereunder (such Party, the “Indemnifying Party”) for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a)
shall not exceed $150,000. For Losses incurred as a result of an Excepted Claim, the maximum aggregate liability of the Indemnifying
Party for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) shall not exceed $1,500,000. All liability of Seller and
Parent for any Losses shall be calculated in the aggregate and the joint liability of Seller and Parent shall not exceed the amounts
described in this Section. All liability of Buyer and Dynasil for any Losses shall be calculated in the aggregate and the joint
liability of Buyer and Dynasil shall not exceed the amounts described in this Section.

 

9.6         Assertion
of Claims.

 

(a)          Notice
of Claim. Promptly after receipt of notice of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, the
Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, demanding payment, subject to Section 9.5,
of an indemnification claim arising under Section 9.2 or 9.3, as the case may be (a “Demand”).
Such Demand shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such
claim, the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. No delay on the part of an
Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.6 shall relieve any Party from any obligation
hereunder, except to the extent that an Indemnified Party shall have been adversely affected by such delay.

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

(b)          Response
to a Demand. The Indemnifying Party may reply to a Demand made under Section 9.6(a) hereof by written notice given
to the Indemnified Party, which notice shall state (i) whether the Indemnifying Party agrees or disagrees that the claim asserted
is a valid claim under this Agreement and agrees or disagrees with respect to the amount of the Losses in such Demand and (ii)
if the Indemnifying Party disagrees with either the validity of such claim or the amount of such Losses, the basis for such disagreement.
If Buyer is the Indemnified Party, and if Seller or Parent does not give Buyer a notice disputing such Demand specifying the nature
and amount of such dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Demand (the “Indemnity Notice Period”),
or if Seller or Parent gives notice that such Demand is uncontested, then Seller and/or Parent, pursuant to such Demand, shall
satisfy the claim in the method set forth in Section 9.4. If the notice from Seller or Parent admits that a portion of the
Demand is a valid claim under Section 9.2 of this Agreement and the remaining portion of the Demand is disputed, Seller
or Parent shall satisfy only such portion of the Demand that is undisputed, and the disputed portion of such Demand shall be resolved
in accordance with Section 9.6(c).

 

(c)          Disputed
Claims. If the notice given by the Indemnifying Party as provided in Section 9.6(b) hereof disputes all or part
of the claim or claims asserted in the Demand by the Indemnified Party or the amount of Losses thereof, within the Indemnity Notice
Period (a “Disputed Claim”), then, to the extent of the disputed portion of the Demand, the Demand shall be
treated as a Disputed Claim and, if Buyer is the Indemnified Party, the Escrow Release Date or the Grant Holdback Release Date,
as applicable, has not occurred, the Escrow Shares or the Grant Holdback Shares, as applicable, shall be held by the Escrow Agent
until the final adjudication of the Disputed Claim by Seller and Buyer. The Parties hereto shall make a reasonable good faith effort
to resolve their differences for a period of thirty (30) days following the Indemnity Notice Period asserting a Disputed Claim.

 

(d)          Third
Party Claims. Promptly after receipt of any assertion of Losses by any third party (“Third Party Claims”)
that might give rise to any Losses for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, the Indemnified
Party shall promptly give written notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Third Party Claim”) to the
Indemnifying Party, which Notice shall state the (i) nature, basis and facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim, (ii) the specific
representation(s), warranty(ies) or covenant(s) with respect to which such Third Party Claim is made, (iii) the amount of Losses
or the estimated amount thereof to the extent feasible, and (iv) the amount of liability asserted against the Indemnifying
Party by reason of the Third Party Claim. Such Notice of Third Party Claim shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation
with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been
served, any written demand and any other relevant document or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide
notice as aforesaid to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the
Indemnified Party under this Agreement or otherwise except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party shall have been adversely affected
by such failure.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

(e)          Defense
of Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party may elect to defend any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying
Party (the “Election to Defend”), and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment
in handling such Third Party Claim, provided that no Third Party Claim may be settled without the consent of the Indemnified Party,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that such claim is defended actively and diligently. An election
to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall be an admission that such claim is within the scope of the indemnification
obligations hereunder of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses not to defend any Third Party Claim by failure
to deliver on a timely basis the Election to Defend or by failure to actively and diligently defend such claim, the Indemnified
Party may defend against such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 for Losses resulting from
such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall provide prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such
entry into a judgment or settlement to the extent reasonably practical, and if not reasonably practical, promptly thereafter. In
addition, if the Indemnifying Party has assumed defense of the Third Party Claim and if a potential or actual conflict of interest
shall exist or if different defenses shall be available between Seller and Buyer, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
to retain separate legal counsel and submit the fees and expenses of such counsel as part of a Demand pursuant to Section 9.2
or 9.3, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate
in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel. Each Party shall make available to each other and their counsel
and accountants all books and records and information relating to any Third Party Claim, keep each other fully apprised as to the
details and progress of all proceedings relating thereto and render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required
for the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

 

9.7         Tax
Treatment. The Parties agree to treat all payments made by or deemed to be made by a Party under this Article 9 as adjustments
to the Purchase Price hereunder unless otherwise required by applicable law.

 

Article

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION COVENANTS

 

10.1       Non-Competition
and Non-Solicitation. As further consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement:

 

(a)          For
a period ending on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”), neither Seller
nor Parent shall, and each shall require their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) develop, market, manufacture
or sell any goods or services that compete with Buyer in the Business or (ii) engage in any business competitive to the Business;
provided, however, the Parties agree that Seller and Parent and their respective Affiliates may engage in selling or reselling
dichroic coatings on flexible film substrates for theatrical lighting and those certain other activities set forth on Section
10.1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, which will not be in violation of the covenants set forth in this Section; and

 

    	30

    	 

    

 

(b)          Seller
and Parent also agree during the Restriction Period, not to, directly or indirectly:

 

(i)          employ
or hire any person who is a Designated Employee or is, as of the Closing Date, or becomes thereafter, an employee of Buyer and
any of its Affiliates (each such individual, a “Restricted Person”), provided, however, neither Seller
nor Parent shall be precluded from hiring any Restricted Person who responds to any public advertisement placed by Seller or Parent
or who otherwise contacts Seller or Parent on his or her own initiative, in each case without any direct or indirect solicitation
by Seller or Parent;

 

(ii)         call
upon, solicit or communicate with any Restricted Person for the purpose or with the intent of enticing, or in a manner reasonably
likely to entice, such Restricted Person away from Buyer; or

 

(iii)        call
upon, solicit or communicate with any Person who is, as of the Closing Date, who becomes at any time after the Closing Date, or
who has been, within two (2) years prior to the Closing Date, a customer of Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates
for the purpose of soliciting or selling services in direct or indirect competition with the Business.

 

10.2       Confidentiality.
Each of Seller and Parent recognizes that the Purchased Assets include Confidential Information regarding the Business, that in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement certain other Confidential Information of Buyer may be disclosed
to Seller, and that the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Seller or third parties would cause Buyer substantial
losses and damages and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, Seller and Parent covenant and agree with Buyer
not to at any time, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit other Persons (including Affiliates of Seller),
to directly or indirectly use, disclose or publish, any Confidential Information, unless (a) such information is or becomes
generally known to the public through no fault of Seller or Parent, (b) the disclosing party is advised in writing by counsel that
disclosure is required by law or the order of any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction under color of law, or (c) the
disclosing party reasonably believes (based on written advice of counsel) that such disclosure is required in connection with the
defense of a lawsuit; provided, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above, such Person shall
give prior written notice thereof to Buyer and provide Buyer with the opportunity to contest or limit such disclosure and shall
cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure. No Party shall divulge, disclose or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever,
information or statements which disparage or are intended to disparage the Business or any other Party or its Affiliates or their
respective business reputations.

 

10.3       Reasonable
Restraint. The Parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this Article 10 impose a reasonable restraint on Seller in light
of the activities and business of the Buyer on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of Buyer.

 

    	31

    	 

    

 

10.4       Severability;
Reformation. The covenants in this Article 10 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant
shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the Parties that such
restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

 

10.5       Independent
Covenant. All of the covenants in this Article 10 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in
this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Seller against Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement
or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of such covenants. The Parties expressly acknowledge that
the terms and conditions of this Article 10 are independent of the terms and conditions of any other agreements entered into
in connection with this Agreement. It is specifically agreed that the periods set forth in this Article 10 during which the agreements
and covenants made in this Article 10 shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during
which the Person bound by such agreement or covenant is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of
any provision of this Article 10. The covenants contained in this Article 10 shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision
hereof by any Party hereto.

 

10.6       Materiality.
Each of the Parties hereto hereby agrees that the covenants set forth in this Article 10 are a material and substantial part of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are supported by adequate consideration.
