The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company Stockholders (as defined in this Agreement) that Merger Sub merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, in furtherance thereof, has (i) adopted and approved the Merger, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) declared the Merger and the Ancillary Agreements to be advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of the Merger, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company Stockholders.

B. The board of directors of each of Acquiror and Merger Sub has approved the Merger, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

C. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Company, Merger Sub and Acquiror intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that this Agreement will be, and is hereby, adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

D. The Company, Merger Sub and Acquiror desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements, as more fully set forth in this Agreement, in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

E.

(b) Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by Company Stockholders, Company Options. Subject to Section 2.1(a) above and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, or any Company Securityholders:

(i) Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive that number of shares of the common stock of Acquiror, par value $0.001 per share (“Acquiror Common Stock”), to be issued and delivered subject to the applicable holder’s Lock-Up Agreement, equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio plus (B) the applicable per share Pro Rata Portion of the Clawback Shares subject to release or clawback pursuant to Section 2.4. The number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and computed after aggregating Acquiror Common Stock for all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder. All shares of Company Capital Stock, when canceled, extinguished and converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and each former holder of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Section 2.1(b).

Acquiror shall issue options for the purchase of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to the Acquiror Option Plan in the manner described in Section 6.13 below.

(iii) Adjustments to Company Capital Stock or Acquiror Common Stock.

If, between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Acquiror Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Treatment of Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, be converted into and become 1,000 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Company Securityholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are personal to each such Company Securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason other than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution. or with the prior written consent of Acquiror. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (other than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

The certificates representing shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable in the Merger, or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legends (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES OR SUCH OTHER COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO SUCH ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

(f) In connection with any proposed sale of any shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement that are so legended, and assuming compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Acquiror shall, at Acquiror’s cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Acquiror’s legal counsel to promptly deliver an opinion providing that such legend may be removed.

2.2 Surrender of Certificates in Exchange for Payments.

(a) Exchange Procedures for Share Certificates.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail or cause to be mailed to every Company Stockholder (A) a Letter of Transmittal substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and (B) instructions for use of the Letter of Transmittal in effecting the surrender of certificates or instruments which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represent issued and outstanding Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”). The Letter of Transmittal shall (1) contain a notice of effectiveness of the Merger, (2) specify that delivery of Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt thereof by the Exchange Agent on behalf of Acquiror, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed on behalf of each Person effecting the surrender of such Certificates, and (3) be in such form and have such other provisions as Company may reasonably specify. In addition, the form of Letter of Transmittal will require the delivering holder to represent that (x) such delivering holder has good title to such Certificate(s), (y) such delivering holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver such Letter of Transmittal and to perform its obligations in connection therewith, and (z) such delivering holder agrees to the terms of this Agreement applicable to the delivering holder.

(ii) Upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documentation required thereby, the Exchange Agent shall, and Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to, (i) deliver to such former holder of Company Capital Stock, a certificate representing that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) less such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Clawback Shares. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(a), each Certificate (other than those representing Dissenting Shares) shall represent, for all purposes, only the right to receive consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 in respect of the Company Capital Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificate, without any interest thereon.

(b) Transfers of Ownership. All shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued following the surrender for exchange of all shares of Company Capital Stock shall be so issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, including any rights to dividends or other distributions, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificate shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2, subject to applicable Legal Requirements in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.2. Subject to the effect of applicable Legal Requirements, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be issued and paid to the record holder of the Certificate, at the time of such surrender the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock, without interest.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Capital Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any holder of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time who has not previously complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror, as a general unsecured creditor, for payment of its claim for Acquiror Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2, none of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered or transferred by the date on which any Merger Consideration, dividends (whether in cash, stock or property) or other distributions with respect such Certificates would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any federal, state or local governments or governmental agency, any such Merger Consideration, dividends or distributions shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Acquiror, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Acquiror (or Exchange Agent at Acquiror’s direction) shall issue in exchange for such Certificate, following the making of an affidavit of that fact (in a form and substance acceptable to the Exchange Agent) by the record holder thereof, and if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such holder of a reasonable bond as the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate.

2.3 Withholding Rights. Each of Securityholders’ Representative, Exchange Agent, Escrow Agent, Acquiror, Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to any such payments under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Acquiror shall provide the Securityholders’ Representative with written notice of any such intended withholding at least five (5) days before the making of such payment (other than withholding on amounts properly treated as compensation to employees for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), and Acquiror shall cooperate in good faith with the Securityholders’ Representative to obtain any available exception from, or reduction in, such withholding to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be paid to the appropriate Tax Authority, and such withheld and paid over amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts payable under this Agreement that constitute compensation to employees for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall be paid through the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll.

2.4 Clawback Adjustment.

(a) Escrow of Clawback Shares. A maximum number of 5,988,024 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Clawback Shares”) are to be held in the Escrow subject to release to Company Stockholders or clawback by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 2.4. The table below sets forth the aggregate number of Clawback Shares that shall be released to Company Stockholders upon the achievement by Surviving Corporation of the corresponding Net Sales at the Gross Margin indicated (each a “Clawback Milestone”) over the period commencing September 1, 2020 and ending as of the applicable Milestone Deadline. The Board of Directors of Acquiror, acting in good faith at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Acquiror held not later than ninety (90) days following each applicable Milestone Deadline, shall determine whether any Clawback Milestone has been achieved and the aggregate number of Clawback Shares to be released. If the Board of Directors determines that any Clawback Shares are to be released to Company Stockholders, the Acquiror shall authorize the Escrow Agent to release the number of Clawback Shares so determined to be released to the Exchange Agent for delivery to Company Stockholders in their respective Pro Rata Portion. The Clawback Shares shall be treated as owned by the Company Stockholders for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, all dividends paid on the Clawback Shares will be distributed currently to the Securityholders’ Representative (for the benefit of the Company Stockholders), and the Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) will be entitled to exercise all voting rights of the Clawback Shares while the Clawback Shares are held in the Escrow.

(b) Clawback Milestones.

(i) If, as of the first Milestone Deadline (August 31, 2021), any Clawback Shares are subject to release pursuant to subsection (a) above, the remaining Clawback Shares will be delivered by Escrow Agent to Acquiror and Acquiror shall cancel the same, and Company Stockholders shall be entitled to no additional Clawback Shares.

(ii) If as of the first Milestone Deadline (August 31, 2021), no Clawback Shares are subject to release pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Board of Directors of Acquiror shall make a determination as of the second Milestone Date (August 31, 2022), if any Clawback Shares are subject to release pursuant to subsection (a) above, and if any Clawback Shares are subject to such release, the remaining Clawback Shares, if any, will be delivered by Escrow Agent to Acquiror and Acquiror shall cancel the same, and Company Stockholders shall be entitled to no additional Clawback Shares.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 2.4, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Cost of Goods Sold” shall mean the sum of landed cost of Company Product from outside vendors, agreed transfer cost of Company Product from other divisions of Acquiror, fulfillment costs, packaging and shipping, freight in/out unrelated to sales contract pricing, and merchandising from an outside company as related to consignment goods.

“Gross Margin” shall mean Gross Profit divided by Net Sales, expressed as a percentage; provided, however, that should management of Surviving Corporation believe a proposed business arrangement of Surviving Corporation would fail to achieve the Gross Margin set forth in the table below, at the request of management of Surviving Corporation, the Parties will review the proposed business arrangement in good faith and should the Parties agree to accept such proposed business arrangement, Surviving Corporation may accept such business arrangement and the Parties will negotiate in good faith the percentage of Net Sales of such business arrangement which shall be includable in the calculation of Net Sales and Gross Margin for the purposes of calculating the Clawback Milestone.

“Gross Profit” shall mean Net Sales less Cost of Goods Sold.

“Milestone Deadline” shall mean August 31, 2021 and, if no Clawback Shares are released with respect to such date, August 31, 2022; provided, however, that should the current COVID-19 pandemic result in a material shutdown of retail re-openings following the Effective Time (“Material Retail Shutdown”), then each Milestone Deadline, only for purposes of measuring the retail sales component of Set Sales, shall be increased by a number of days of the Material Retail Shutdown but not to exceed ninety (90) days.

“Net Sales” means as the sum of (i) gross contract price to customers or distributors, plus (ii) net commissions received on personal protective equipment transactions, plus, (iii) royalties received on licensing transactions, less (a) shipping charges, (b) chargebacks, (c) sales taxes, (d), cash discounts for early payment, (e) markdown allowance, and (f) returns.

If Net Sales is at least ($MM)	And Gross Margin is at least	Clawback Shares released from Escrow:
<$15.0	40%	-0-
$15.0	40%	4,491,018
$16.0	40%	4,790,419
$17.0	40%	5,089,820
$18.0	40%	5,389,222
$19.0	40%	5,688,623
$20.0	40%	5,988,024

(c) No Adverse Action. Acquiror shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action, or fail to take an action, in bad faith that have the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement of the Clawback Milestones. By their adoption of this Agreement, the Company Stockholders and the Securityholders’ Representative agree and acknowledge that Acquiror may make from time to time such business decisions as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, in the conduct of the business of the Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation following Closing, and the Company Stockholders and the Securityholders’ Representative may not make a claim against the Acquiror for any such decisions except as set forth in the next sentence. The Company Stockholders will have a right to specific performance of release of Clawback Shares in an amount equal to that number of Clawback Shares to which the Company Stockholders would have been entitled but will not receive as a result of Acquiror taking any action, or failing to act, in either case, in bad faith for the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing achievement of the Clawback Milestones.

(d) Acceleration of Release of Clawback Shares. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is separated from employment as Chief Executive Officer of Surviving Corporation prior to the applicable Milestone Date other than (i) for cause or (ii) because of her death, permanent disability, retirement or resignation (but not a resignation for Good Reason as defined in and pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Employment Agreement), Acquiror shall on or before ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such separation from employment, instruct Escrow Agent to deliver to Exchange Agent the maximum number of Clawback Shares achievable pursuant to Section 2.4(a) for distribution to the Company Stockholders at their respective Pro Rata Portion.

(e) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control prior to any applicable Milestone Deadline, unless in connection with such Change in Control (other than a Change of Control triggered by a sale or other disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or a sale or disposition of a majority of the equity securities of the Surviving Corporation) the successor entity in such transaction expressly assumes the obligations of Acquiror set forth in Section 2.4(a) with respect to the release of the Clawback Shares, at the next succeeding applicable Milestone Date the gross consideration received by Acquiror or Surviving Corporation in connection with the Change of Control shall be included in the calculation of Net Profit. For purposes hereof, a “Change of Control” means: the (i) sale or other disposition of the Surviving Corporation’s primary business operations, or (ii) sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Surviving Corporation’s business assets (excluding cash) or more than fifty percent (50%) of the Surviving Corporation’s equity interests to an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Acquiror (whether by asset sale, equity sale, merger, reorganization, restructuring, combination, license, lease, joint venture or otherwise) or (iii) sale of a Vertical to an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Acquiror; provided, however, a Change of Control shall not include any transaction that has the primary purpose of raising financing for the Surviving Corporation or of reincorporating or changing the domicile of the Surviving Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.4(d) a “Vertical” means a line of Company Products consisting of Direct to Consumer (DTC), wholesale to retail, US distributors, PPE/Royalties, International and Private Label. In the event of a merger, consolidation or similar reorganization of the Surviving Corporation in which the obligations under this Section 2.4 are expressly assumed, the rights under this Section 2.4 with respect to the issuance of the Clawback Shares shall thereafter represent the right to acquire upon the satisfaction of the Clawback Milestones such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as a result of such merger, consolidation or other similar reorganization with respect to the Clawback Shares issuable upon accomplishment of such Clawback Milestones had such Clawback Shares been issued immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or similar reorganization.

2.5 Spreadsheet. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a spreadsheet (the “Spreadsheet”), certified by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which Spreadsheet shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall set forth all of the following information, as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time: the names of all the Company Securityholders and their respective addresses (including email addresses, if available), including the number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares each of them is entitled to as of the Closing; (b) each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as a percentage interest); and (c) the calculation of the Total Stock, and the Exchange Ratio. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement as it relates to determining such amounts that each Company Securityholder is entitled to receive or the calculations described above, the amounts set forth on the Spreadsheet shall govern.

2.6 [RESERVED].

2.7 Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that, upon the Closing, and pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(xi), the Indebtedness set forth on the Company Indebtedness Certificate will be fully repaid by Acquiror on behalf of the Company. In order to facilitate such repayment, the Company shall provide to Acquiror at least five calendar days prior to the Closing (i) the Company Indebtedness Certificate and (ii) the payoff letters for such Indebtedness (together with all related documents and instruments, the “Payoff Documents”), which payoff letters shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror and shall indicate that such lenders have agreed to, if applicable, upon receipt of the amounts indicated in such payoff letters, immediately release all Encumbrances relating to the assets and properties of the Company and return all possessory and original collateral.

(b) The Parties hereto agree that, upon the Closing, and pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(vi), all of the Transaction Expenses set forth on the Closing Expenses Certificate, but not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), will be fully paid by Acquiror on behalf of the Company; provided that any amounts that constitute compensation to employees for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall be made to the Company for payment through its payroll. In order to facilitate such payment, the Company shall provide at least five calendar days prior to the Closing, (i) the Closing Expenses Certificate and (ii) wire transfer instructions for the satisfaction of such Transaction Expenses.

(c) The Company shall be liable to pay all Transaction Expenses in excess of $100,000.00. The delivery by the Company of money pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(xii) at Closing shall not relieve Company of the obligation to perform its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence should the Closing Expenses Certificate be incorrect.

2.8 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock provided for in Section 2.1(b), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the Delaware Code or other applicable Legal Requirements. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Code or other applicable Legal Requirements, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the Delaware Code or other applicable Legal Requirements (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions), as applicable. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquiror shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 2.1 as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the Delaware Code or other applicable Legal Requirements and received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares.

2.9 Tax Treatment. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and corresponding provisions of state and local Legal Requirements, and the parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, (i) each Party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Party will not take any position on any Tax Return, or take any other Tax reporting position or action, that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, except as otherwise required by a “determination” as defined in Code Section 1313 and (ii) no party hereto shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Each such Company Employee Plan has received a favorable determination, opinion, or advisory letter from the IRS to the effect that such Company Employee Plan meets the requirements of Code Section 401(a).

(j) Each Company Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(d)(1) satisfies in form and operation the requirements of Code Sections 409A(a)(2), 409A(a)(3) and 409A(a)(4).

The Company shall not release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party.

6.4 Access to Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time:

(i) neither Acquiror nor Merger Sub shall, directly or indirectly, have discussions or communications of any kind with, or otherwise contact, any customer, supplier, vendor, employee, contractor, or agent of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer in each specific instance; and

(ii) the Company shall not be required to disclose any information to Acquiror, Merger Sub, or their respective representatives if such disclosure would, in the Company’s reasonable determination: (A) jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege, or (B) contravene any applicable Legal Requirements, fiduciary duty, or agreement entered into prior to the Agreement Date.

(b) From and after the Closing until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Acquiror will make or cause to be made available (including by electronic means, to the extent available) to the Securityholders’ Representative all books, records, Tax Returns and documents of the Company (and the assistance of employees responsible for such books, records and documents or whose participation is reasonably necessary or desirable in connection therewith) as may be reasonably necessary for (i) investigating, settling, preparing for the defense or prosecution of, defending or prosecuting any Third-Party Claim or (ii) such other purposes for which access to such documents is reasonably necessary for the Securityholders’ Representative to conduct its duties hereunder; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be during the Company’s normal business hours, under the supervision of Acquiror’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of Acquiror or the Company.

6.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration value added and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by Acquiror and fifty percent (50%) by the Escrow Participants. The Securityholders’ Representative shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer Taxes (and the Acquiror shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). Each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) The Parties acknowledge and agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of the Company will end on the end of the day on the Closing Date and, to the extent applicable Tax laws in other jurisdictions so permit, the Parties will elect to cause the taxable year of the Company to terminate on the Closing Date. The Acquiror shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for (i) all Taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are first due (taking into account any valid extensions properly obtained) after the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”) and (ii) all Straddle Periods (each, a “Straddle Tax Return”). All Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and this Agreement and, to the extent not otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements or this Agreement, the past practice of the Company. All Deductions shall be reported on the income Tax Returns of the Company for its taxable year that ends on the Closing Date to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Subject to Section 6.6(b)(ii), (A) the Acquiror shall provide a draft of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return (other than with respect to any payroll Tax Returns or other similar routine non-income Tax Returns prepared in the ordinary course and reporting an amount of Tax due of less than $50,000) to the Securityholders’ Representative for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof (and prior to filing any such Tax Return); provided, however, if any such Tax Return is due within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, then it shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the filing thereof, (B) the Securityholders’ Representative shall provide any comments to any such Tax Return to the Acquiror within fifteen (15) days following its receipt thereof; provided, however, if any such Tax Return is due within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, then such comments shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such Tax Return, and (C) the Acquiror shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely made by the Securityholders’ Representative. Any Pre-Closing Taxes shown as due and payable on any Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return (determined in accordance with Section 6.6(e) with respect to any Straddle Tax Return) originally due after the Closing Date and filed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 shall be paid out by offsetting such Taxes against the Clawback Shares by canceling that number of Clawback Shares equal in value to the aggregate amount of such Pre-Closing Taxes, valued at the Clawback Share Price. If the Securityholders’ Representative and Acquiror cannot resolve any dispute with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return, such dispute shall be referred to the CPA Firm in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6(b)(ii).

(ii) Before the filing date for any Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return, the Acquiror and the Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Escrow Participants, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute concerning such Tax Return. If the Acquiror and the Securityholders’ Representative are unable to resolve the dispute before the due date for the Tax Return (and such due date cannot be further extended under applicable Legal Requirements), the dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm for resolution, which resolution shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties. If for any reason the CPA Firm cannot resolve the dispute at least two (2) days before the Tax Return is due, the Tax Return shall be filed in the manner that the Acquiror deems to be correct. If the Tax Return is filed before the CPA Firm’s determination, the Acquiror shall cause an amended Tax Return to be filed in accordance with the CPA Firm’s resolution of any disputed issues. The fees and expenses of the CPA Firm incurred in resolving the dispute shall be equitably apportioned by the CPA Firm based on the extent to which Acquiror, on the one hand, or the Securityholders’ Representative acting on behalf of the Escrow Participants, on the other hand, is determined by the CPA Firm to be the prevailing party in the resolution of the dispute. The fees and expenses of the Independent Firm so determined to be apportioned to the Escrow Participants shall be paid to the Independent Firm by Acquiror and offset against the Merger Consideration by cancelling Clawback Shares that otherwise may become issuable to the Escrow Participants at any time thereafter equal in value to the amount of the remaining fees and expenses apportioned to the Escrow Participants, valued at the Clawback Share Price.

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Acquiror, the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes (other than any Proceeding between the parties hereto) in each case with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request and at the requesting party’s expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Acquiror, the Company, the Escrow Participants and the Securityholders’ Representative agree (A) to use reasonable efforts to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Straddle Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the other party, any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority and (B) to use reasonable efforts to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Acquiror, the Company, the Escrow Participants and the Securityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records at such other party’s expense. Acquiror, the Company, the Escrow Participants and the Securityholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts (at the requesting party’s expense) to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Tax Claims. If, subsequent to the Closing, any of Acquiror, the Company, or the Securityholders’ Representative receives written notice from a Tax Authority of a claim, assessment, deficiency, investigation, audit or Proceeding by any Tax Authority that, if successful or after lapse of time, could result in an indemnity claim hereunder or could impact the determination of a Tax Refund (a “Tax Claim”), then as soon as reasonably practical but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Acquiror, the Company, or the Securityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, shall give written notice of such Tax Claim to the other parties; provided that any failure to timely provide such notification shall not affect the applicable Parties’ indemnification obligation under this Agreement, except to the extent such Parties have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(i) The Securityholders’ Representative shall have fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of notice of such Tax Claim to elect in writing (through delivery of such written election to the Acquiror) to control (at the Escrow Participants’ cost and expense) any Tax Claim that relates solely to Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company for Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, that (A) the Securityholders’ Representative will conduct such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (B) the Acquiror shall have the right to (I) receive copies of all written notice and correspondence received from any Tax Authority with respect to such Tax Claim and otherwise to be reasonably apprised of the initiation and status of any such Tax Claim, (II) receive copies of and to reasonably comment on any written materials submitted to any Tax Authority in connection therewith, including due consideration by the Securityholders’ Representative in good faith with respect to any such comments, (III) be present at and participate fully, at Acquiror’s sole cost and expense, in any meetings, conferences, proceedings or appearances before the relevant Tax Authority with respect to such Tax Claim and (IV) obtain, at Acquiror’s sole cost and expense, separate counsel with respect to such Tax Claim, and (C) the Securityholders’ Representative shall not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Tax Claim or enter into any settlement with respect to such Tax Claim (or otherwise compromise such Tax Claim) without the prior written consent of the Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Securityholders’ Representative does not notify the Acquiror that the Securityholders’ Representative elects to assume control of a Tax Claim within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Securityholders’ Representative receipt of written notice of the Tax Claim, the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have elected not to assume control of the Tax Claim.

(ii) The Acquiror shall control all aspects of each Tax Claim other than any Tax Claim conducted by the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 6.6(d)(i); provided, however, that, (A) Acquiror will conduct such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (B) the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to (I) receive copies of all material written notice and correspondence received from any Tax Authority with respect to such Tax Claim and otherwise to be reasonably apprised of the initiation and status of any such Tax Claim, (II) receive copies of and to reasonably comment on any written materials submitted to any Tax Authority in connection therewith, including due consideration by the Acquiror in good faith with respect to any such comments, (III) be present at and participate fully, at the Escrow Participants’ cost and expense, in any meetings, conferences, proceedings or appearances with the relevant Tax Authority respect to such Tax Claim and (IV) obtain, at the Escrow Participants’ sole cost and expense, separate counsel with respect to such Tax Claim, and (C) Acquiror shall not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Tax Claim or enter into any settlement with respect to such Tax Claim (or otherwise compromise such Tax Claim) without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, the costs and expenses for defending or controlling any Tax Claims or other Proceeding with respect to the Taxes of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods incurred by the Acquiror pursuant to this Section 6.6(d)(ii), whether or not such Tax audit or Proceeding results in any adjustment, shall be paid by the Escrow Participants to the extent material. This Section 6.6(d) shall exclusively govern the notice and conduct of any Tax Claim and Section 9.6 shall not apply.

(e) Straddle Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date shall be determined as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income, wages, payroll, or receipts, based upon or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property or any other specifically identifiable transaction or event, the amount of such Taxes shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in clause (i) above (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; provided, however, that any exemptions, allowances or deductions that are determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements to which the Company is a party and pursuant to which the Company or the Acquiror may have obligations or responsibilities with respect to Taxes or shall be terminated prior to the Closing, and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not have any further obligations or responsibilities or have any liability thereunder.

(g) Post-Closing Covenants. Without thirty days prior written notice to the Securityholders’ Representative, the Acquiror (or any Affiliate thereof) shall not and shall not cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation to (i) amend, refile or modify any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) file a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company or the Surviving Corporation did not file such Tax Return for such period, (iii) make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes of the Company or the Surviving Corporation for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income of the Company or the Surviving Corporation from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date or shifts deductions or losses of the Company or the Surviving Corporation from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date. Neither Acquiror nor any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall make or cause to be made an election under Section 336 or Section 338 of the Code or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Pre-Closing Tax Periods” in this Section 6.6(g) shall include Straddle Periods.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, each Company Securityholder, on behalf of itself, himself or herself and each of its Affiliates, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, as applicable (collectively, the “Releasing Party”), does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company, (collectively, the “Released Parties”), and each of their respective Affiliates, past and present direct and indirect equity holders, parents, subsidiaries, principals, directors, managers, partners, general partners, limited partners, officers, employees, trustees, joint ventures, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, insurers, attorneys, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Released Party Affiliates”), of and from any and all commitments, rights, claims, counterclaims, demands, debts, Liabilities, Damages, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, obligations, promises, covenants, agreements, Contracts, charges, dues, sums of money, compensation, accounts, suits, Proceedings, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, contingent or otherwise, at law or in equity, which any such Releasing Party now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against any Released Party arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing or on account of or arising out of, directly or indirectly, any act, omission, matter, cause, circumstance, event or transaction occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing, including any claims arising from or relating to Company Securityholder’s or any related party’s prior relationship with the Released Parties or any Released Party Affiliate or Company Securityholder’s or any related party’s rights or status as a current or former, direct or indirect, equityholder, stockholder, member, principal, director, manager, partner, general partner, limited partner, officer, employee, trustee, consultant, independent contractor, service provider, advisor, agent or representative of the Released Parties or any other Person in which capacity Company Securityholder or any related party is or was serving at the request of any of the Released Parties or the Released Party Affiliates; provided, however, that: (A) the Releasing Party is not releasing any rights available to the Releasing Party under this Agreement, including any rights to payment or issuance of Merger Consideration under this Agreement; (B) the Releasing Party is not releasing any rights available to the Releasing Party under the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement entered into by the Releasing Party with Acquiror or the Company in connection with the Closing; (C) if (and only if) the Releasing Party is a current or former employee, consultant, independent contractor, advisor or director of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate (an “Employee”), the Releasing Party is not releasing the Releasing Party’s rights, if any, with respect to salaries, consulting fees, bonuses and reimbursable expenses that are payable to the Releasing Party and have accrued during the current payroll period or work period in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (D) if (and only if) the Releasing Party is an Employee, this Section 6.7 does not abrogate the Releasing Party’s rights or claims to accrued vacation time and vested rights, if any, under any Company Employee Plans; (E) if (and only if) the Releasing Party is an Employee, the Releasing Party is not releasing any right of indemnification the Releasing Party may have for any liabilities arising from the Releasing Party’s actions within the course and scope of the Releasing Party’s employment with the Company or within the course and scope of the Releasing Party’s role as a member of the board of directors and/or officer of the Company or any of its respective Affiliates; (F) if (and only if) the Releasing Party is an Employee, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be construed to prohibit the Releasing Party from engaging in any protected or concerted activity, or filing a complaint or charge with, or participating in any investigation or Proceeding conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency in connection with the Releasing Party’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates; and (G) the Releasing Party is not releasing any rights or claims that cannot be waived by law.

(b) Each Company Securityholder further acknowledges and agrees that this release and discharge provided pursuant to this Section 6.7 will be governed by and enforced and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, that if any portion of this release is held invalid by the final judgment of any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this release will remain in full force and effect as if such invalid provision had not been included in this release. It is further understood and agreed that all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision of any applicable Legal Requirements are hereby expressly waived by Company Securityholder. Said section reads as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties and the Released Party Affiliates, Section 6.7 expressly acknowledges that this release is intended to include in its effect all Proceedings and Liabilities which Company Securityholder does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of signing this release, and that this release contemplates the release of any such Proceedings or Liabilities.

(c) Each Company Securityholder acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Section 6.7 have been a material inducement to the Released Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and that the Released Parties will rely upon this Section 6.7 in consummating such transactions. Each Company Securityholder represents and warrants to the Released Parties that it: (i) has consulted with counsel with respect to this Agreement and has been fully apprised of the consequences of this release; (ii) has had access to adequate information regarding the terms of this Agreement, the scope and effect of the releases set forth herein, and all other matters encompassed by this Agreement to make an informed and knowledgeable decision with regard to entering into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; and (iii) has not relied upon any Released Party or Released Party Affiliate in deciding to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and has made its own independent analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

6.8 [RESERVED].

(b) Until such time as the release of the Clawback Shares, if any, pursuant to Section 2.4, Acquiror shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be nominated by Acquiror’s Board of Directors for election as a director of Acquiror at each annual meeting of stockholder of Acquiror, and shall cause management to cast its votes, whether held directly or by proxy, to cause her election as a director.

6.11 Termination of Certain Company Employee Plans. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the Company, and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans unless Acquiror provides written notice to the Company that such Company Employee Plan shall not be terminated. Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as Code Section 401(k) arrangements shall be frozen for contributions based on service as of the last full payroll period prior to the Closing Date and terminated the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Unless Acquiror provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Acquiror, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with evidence that each Company Employee Plan has been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Acquiror. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating each 401(k) Plan as Acquiror may reasonably require.

6.12 Acquiror Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or any successor of the Surviving Corporation) to provide, to each employee of the Company who remains employed following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”): (i) compensation (including base salary or hourly wages and target bonus opportunities, if any, and excluding equity compensation) no less than the compensation provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) severance entitlements that are not less favorable, on an individual by individual basis, as those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) employee benefits, including eligibility for participation in benefit plans provided by Acquiror, that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, with respect to each Continuing Employee, Acquiror shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or any successor of the Surviving Corporation) to provide to each such Continuing Employee the following to occur under each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Acquiror or its Affiliates in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing (each a “Acquiror Benefit Plan”): (i) credit for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and amount of benefits but excluding for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plans), for all service recognized by the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall the Continuing Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service; (ii) for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, waive any limitations regarding pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability requirements and eligibility waiting periods under any Acquiror Benefit Plan which is a welfare benefit plan to the extent such pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability requirements, or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such employee under a comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (to the same extent such credit was given under the comparable Company Plan prior to the Closing), in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such Acquiror Benefit Plans which are welfare benefit plans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 6.12 shall be construed as an offer or promise of employment to, or a contract or other commitment of employment for, any person employed by Company prior to the Effective Time. This Section 6.12 is not a third-party benefit contract. Prior to the signing and delivery of this Agreement, Acquiror and Company have determined which persons who shall be Continuing Employees.

6.13 Options to Purchase Acquiror Common Stock. Effective as of the Effective Time, Acquiror shall award options (the “Substitute Options”) under the Amended and Restated CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. 2017 Equity Inventive Plan (the “Acquiror Option Plan”) to those Company Optionholders holding unexercised Company Options at the Effective Time in substitution for such Company Options. The number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock for which Substitute Options shall be exercisable, and the exercise price per share, are set forth in Schedule 6.13 attached hereto. Each Substitute Option shall (i) be of the same type (i.e., incentive or non-statutory) as the unexercised Company Options of the respective Company Optoinholders to the extent permissible under Legal Requirements, (ii) shall be vested upon grant in the same proportion as the Company Options of such Company Optionholder are vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and shall continue to vest on the same vesting schedule as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), and (iii) shall be exercisable for a term equal to the remaining term of the respective Company Option for which the Substitute Options are awarded. The substitution of Company Options described in this Section 6.13 is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Company Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option,” Section 424 of the Code.

6.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall take all such steps as may be reasonably required to cause any acquisitions of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, by each individual who is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Acquiror following the Merger, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.15 Marketing and Growth Funds. Following the Closing and through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Acquiror shall make available to Surviving Corporation an amount equal to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) less the outstanding amount of the Secured Note at the Effective Time (the “Marketing and Growth Funds”). The Marketing and Growth Funds shall be expended by the Surviving Corporation consistent with the use of proceeds therefore described in the Final Forecast. The Marketing and Growth Funds shall be made available to Surviving Corporation within forty-eight (48) hours after either of the President or the Chief Financial Officer of Acquiror (or a designee approved by Securitiyholders’ Representative) and Securityholders’ Representative (or a designee approved by the President of Acquiror) have approved the Surviving Corporation’s request for Marketing and Growth Funds, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and which such approval or disapproval shall be provided within forty-eight (48) hours after the request for Marketing and Growth Funds, with any disapproval of the request for such Marketing and Growth Funds accompanied by a written statement specifying the reason for not granting the request for disbursement of the Marketing and Growth Funds; the failure of the President or the Chief Financial Officer of Acquiror (or a designee approved by Securitiyholders’ Representative) to respond to Surviving Corporation’s request for disbursement of the Marketing and Growth Funds shall conclusively be deemed approval of Surviving Corporation’s request for disbursement of the Marketing and Growth Funds.

6.16 Obligations of Merger Sub. Acquiror will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein.

6.17 Appointment of Purchaser Representative. In the event that any Company Securityholder receiving Merger Consideration is not an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company shall cause such non-accredited investors to have, prior to the mailing of any Soliciting Materials, appointed a “purchaser representative” in compliance with such Regulation D to the reasonable satisfaction of Acquiror.

TERMINATION

(a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Company Board and the board of directors of Acquiror;

(b) by either Acquiror or the Company, if the Merger shall not have occurred on or before October 1, 2020 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Subsection (b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of this Agreement has been the proximate cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before the Outside Date; and provided, further, that prior to termination of this Agreement under this Subsection (b) the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a reasonable time to amend this Agreement to provide for equitable adjustment of Section 2.4, and any other terms and conditions directly affected by the delay in the closing of the Merger;

(d) by Acquiror, if the Company shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and such breach shall not have been cured within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b);

(e) by the Company, if Acquiror or Merger Sub shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and such breach shall not have been cured within twenty (20) days after receipt by Acquiror of written notice of such breach and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to Closing, such breach would result in the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b);

(f) by Acquiror, if the Company fails to obtain the Written Consent from the Significant Stockholders prior to or within 24 hours after the execution of this Agreement.

In the event of termination by Acquiror or the Company pursuant to this Section 8.1 (other than Section 8.1(a)), written notice thereof shall be given to other parties hereto.

8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article 8, except as set forth in this Section 8.2, it shall become void and of no further force and effect, with no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement (or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, Affiliates, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys or representatives). The provisions of Section 6.2 (Confidentiality; Public Disclosure), Section 6.5 (Expenses), this Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination), Article 10 (General Provisions) and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated other than pursuant to Section 8.1, such termination will not affect any right or remedy which accrued hereunder or under applicable Legal Requirements prior to or on account of such termination, and the provisions of this Agreement shall survive such termination to the extent required so that each Party may enforce all rights and remedies available to such Party hereunder or under applicable Legal Requirements in respect of such termination and so that any Party responsible for any breach or nonperformance of its obligations hereunder prior to termination shall remain liable for the consequences thereof.

8.3 Effect Following Closing. Each Party shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Agreement upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

If the Merger is consummated, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the certificates of the Company delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any representations and warranties made by Acquiror or Merger Sub, shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall remain in full force and effect, until the last Business Day eighteen (18) months after the Closing (the “General Indemnity Termination Date”); provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3.1(a) (Organization, Standing and Power), Section 3.2 (Subsidiaries), Section 3.3 (Capital Structure), Section 3.4 (Authority; Noncontravention), Section 3.13 (Environmental Matters), Section 3.14 (Taxes), and Section 3.18 (Brokers), and the representations and warranties of Acquiror and Merger Sub in Section 4.14 (Status as Reorganization) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive sixty (60) days after the expiration of the longest statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter thereof, including any automatic extensions, tolling or waivers thereof (the “Fundamental Representations Termination Date”); and (ii) the representations and warranties of Acquiror in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, and Section 4.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (A) the date on which no further Clawback Shares are issuable under this Agreement, and (B) the date of the last occurring Milestone Deadline; provided, further, that expiration of any of the terms set out in this Section 9.1 shall not affect the rights of Acquiror or the Company under this Article 9 or otherwise to seek recovery of Damages arising out of any Fraud.

9.3.2. After the Closing, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, Acquiror shall indemnify ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust from and against any and all Damages, which they suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of or in connection with any lease, agreement or other obligation guaranteed by any of them. For purposes of clarity, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.3.2 shall not be subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a) of this Agreement.

9.4 Indemnification Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, but excluding Section 9.3.2 hereof: (i) no indemnification shall be available under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3.1(a) unless and until all Damages exceed $200,000 (the “Deductible”), after which time the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for all Damages from the first dollar; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to Damages arising under or resulting from (w) breaches of Fundamental Representations, (x) any matters set forth on Schedule 9.2(g), (y) any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or (z) Fraud.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) subject to clause (ii) of this Section 9.4(b), the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust only, and no other Escrow Participant, shall be liable for any claims for Damages made under Section 9.2; (ii) the liability of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of Fraud) shall not exceed, and shall be limited to the General Indemnification Cap; and (iii) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust shall not be liable for Fraud committed by any other Company Securityholder except on the following conditions: (A) the claim for Fraud relates to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement by the Company; (B) the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall have first recovered or cancelled up to all of the Clawback Shares received by or issuable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust; and (C) any Damages to which an Acquiror Indemnified Person is entitled hereunder shall be payable pursuant to and as described in Section 9.7(c). For purposes hereof the “General Indemnification Cap” means 419,161 Clawback Shares constituting a portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust’s Pro Rata Portion of the Clawback Shares, valued at the Clawback Share Price.

(c) For purposes of Section 9.2(a) and 9.3(a), in calculating the amount of any Damage with respect to any such breach, any qualifications in such representation or warranty referencing the terms “substantial,” “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “in all material respects” or words of similar import shall be disregarded; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Damages resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.14, Section 3.15 (solely to the extent related to Taxes), and Section 6.6, “material” shall refer to Damages in excess of $50,000.00.

(d) The amount of any Damages that any Indemnified Person will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Article 9 will be calculated net of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Person from any third party with respect to such Damages, in each case net of all costs of recovery (including any increased insurance premiums directly attributable to any such insurance recovery). In the event that any insurance proceeds or other indemnity, contribution or similar payment is actually recovered by any Indemnified Person with respect to any Damages for which such Indemnified Person has previously been indemnified pursuant to this Article 9, then the Indemnified Person will promptly refund (or reissue any Clawback Shares to be held by the Escrow Agent, or reissue any cancelled shares of Acquiror Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 9.7(c)) to the Indemnifying Person an amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate amount of such insurance proceeds or other indemnity, contribution or similar payment (net of all costs of recovery, including any increased insurance premiums directly attributable to any such insurance recovery) and (ii) the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Person by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of such Damages. If any payment is made by an Indemnifying Person in respect of Damages pursuant to this Article 9, such Indemnifying Person shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any related rights of recovery of the Indemnified Person receiving such payment against any Person in respect of the Damages to which such payment relates.

(e) For purposes of determining the amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided by an Indemnifying Person, the amount of such Damages shall be reduced by the Indemnification Tax Benefits actually realized, if any, by an Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Damages. For this purpose, a Person shall be deemed to recognize a Tax benefit (“Indemnification Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Person’s liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributed to the Damages, exceeds the Person’s actual liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributed to the Damages.

(f) For clarity, any Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification for Damages or other remedies pursuant to this Article 9 shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation conducted, or any knowledge or information acquired (or capable of being acquired), by such Indemnified Person (or any representatives of such Indemnified Person) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, relating to the facts, matters or circumstances constituting or resulting in the breach or inaccuracy (alleged or otherwise) of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement giving rise to such Damages.

9.5 Indemnification Claims.

(a) In order to seek indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, if applicable, and the Indemnifying Person, a certificate signed by any officer of Indemnified Person, if applicable, (a “Claim Notice”) (if the Escrow Participants are the Indemnifying Person, such notice shall be provided to the Securityholders’ Representative) reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Person has knowledge of a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9; provided, that, any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 9.5, except and the extent the Indemnifying Person and the defense of such claim is prejudiced as a result thereof:

(i) stating that the Indemnified Person has a claim for Damages;

(ii) stating the amount of such Damages that have been incurred, paid, reserved or accrued to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (the “Claimed Amount”); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Indemnified Person) the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Damages are related and the provision of the Agreement which give rise to the claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Person may (if the Escrow Participants are the Indemnifying Person, the Securityholders’ Representative may), at any time on or before the twentieth (20th) day following its and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Claim Notice (the “Objection Period”), object (a “Claim Objection”) to a claim made in such Claim Notice by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Person and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. The Claim Objection shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for the objection to such claim and the portion of the Claimed Amount which is disputed. If, within twenty (20) days after a Claim Notice is received by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnifying Person does not deliver a Claim Objection to the Indemnified Person and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent, the Indemnifying Person shall be conclusively deemed to have consented on behalf of itself (and in case of Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of all Company Securityholders), to the recovery by the Indemnified Person of the full amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice.

(c) During the twenty (20) day period following the delivery of a Claim Objection in accordance with Section 9.5(b), the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute; if Acquiror is a party to the dispute, the President of Acquiror shall personally participate in the good faith attempt at resolution of such dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within such twenty (20) day period, either the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person may bring an arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 10.7(d).

9.6 Third-Party Claims.

(a) At any time on or before the twentieth (20th) day following receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a third-party claim (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Person may assume the defense of such matter, subject to the consent of Acquiror if the Third-Party Claim concerns any Company-Owned IP Rights or the Subject Patent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), by providing written notice of such assumption to the Indemnified Person; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person and defend such Third-Party Claim actively and diligently, (ii) the Indemnified Person may participate in the defense of such claim, at its own expense, with co-counsel of its choice, and (iii) the Indemnifying Person may not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the consent of the Indemnified Person if (x) such entry or settlement involves any finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or otherwise contains or requires any admission of guilt, fault or liability of any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, (y) does not cause each Indemnified Person to be fully and unconditionally released from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim, or (z) imposes any equitable remedies or non-monetary obligations on the Indemnified Person. Any entry of judgement, settlement or compromise that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall not be determinative of the amount of Damages with respect to any related claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9.

(b) If the Indemnifying Person has the right to and elects to defend any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall (i) promptly submit to the Indemnified Person copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or filed in connection therewith, (ii) permit the Indemnified Person and its counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof, and (iii) to the extent practicable, permit the Indemnified Person and its counsel an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission. The parties hereto agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.6(a), the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) relates to or arises in connection with a criminal action or an action brought by a Governmental Entity, (ii) seeks (in part or in whole) an injunction or equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Person, (iii) would reasonably be expected to result in Damages in excess of the Indemnified Person’s right to recover from the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article 9 or (iv) involves a claim in which the Indemnifying Person has failed or is failing to actively and diligently prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Person is not entitled to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim or, within such thirty- (30-)day period, does not provide written notice to the Indemnified Person in accordance with Section 9.6(a) properly assuming the defense of such matter, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim and may defend against the matter in any manner that it reasonably may deem appropriate with counsel of its own choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnified Person has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 9.6(d), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), provided that the Indemnifying Person acknowledges in writing it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(e) Section 6.6(d) shall exclusively govern with respect to any Tax Claim, and this Section 9.6 shall not apply.

9.7 Manner of Payment; Escrow Matters.

(a) As of the Effective Time, Acquiror, the Escrow Agent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, and Acquiror shall deliver the Clawback Shares to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent as collateral to secure the obligations under Section 2.4 and the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 9. The Clawback Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Clawback Shares will be represented by a certificate or certificates issued in the name of the Escrow Agent and will be held by the Escrow Agent until the General Indemnity Termination Date; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnified Person has made a claim under Article 9 prior to the end of the General Indemnity Termination Date, then the Escrow Agent will continue to hold such shares in escrow until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event that this Agreement is approved and adopted by the Company Securityholders, then all such Company Securityholders shall, without any further act of any Company Securityholders, be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of the Clawback Shares as collateral to secure the rights of the Acquiror Indemnified Persons under Article 9 in the manner set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement. Any instructions to Escrow Agent shall be made by mutual agreement of Acquiror’s Representative and Securityholder’s Representative or their designee.

(b) Any indemnification obligations of Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to Section 9.3 shall be paid to the Escrow Participants based on their Pro Rata Portion as set forth on the Spreadsheet, in the sole discretion of the Acquiror, by (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds or issuance of that additional number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal in value to the aggregate amount of indemnification obligations, in each case, within five (5) Business Days after the determination thereof.

(c) Any indemnification obligations of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust pursuant to Section 9.2 for Damages shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the determination thereof, provided that any such Damages (i) must first be satisfied by offsetting such indemnification obligations against the Clawback Shares by canceling that number of Clawback Shares with a value equal to the Damages for which the Acquiror Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification, and (ii) then, at the option of the Acquiror, must then be satisfied (in any combination) by (A) the surrender and cancellation of any Acquiror Common Stock held by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust, and/or (B) cancelling and not issuing any Clawback Shares that otherwise may become issuable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust at any time thereafter; provided that the Acquiror Indemnified Persons must exhaust all Clawback Shares issued or issuable hereunder prior to seeking any cash indemnification from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust. The parties agree that the value of any Acquiror Common Stock so cancelled will be valued at the Closing Share Price and Clawback Shares so cancelled will be valued at the Clawback Share Price.

9.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Company, the Escrow Participants, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Acquiror agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

9.9 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.6 and this Article 9. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, 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 their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Legal Requirement, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.6 and this Article 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article 9 shall limit (i) any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled, and (ii) except for those limitations in Section 9.4(b) on a Company Securityholder’s liability for Fraud committed by any other Company Securityholder, the application of which shall not be affected by this subsection (ii), any Person’s right to seek any remedy in the case of Fraud.

Any Party may change the address or electronic mail address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

10.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed manually or by electronic transmission by the parties hereto, in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart.

10.3 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to in this Agreement or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the Exhibits attached hereto and the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Schedule, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement and the Letters of Transmittal, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with their respective terms and (b) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Section 6.8 is intended to benefit the former, current and future officers and directors of the Company and Article 9 is intended to benefit Indemnified Persons).

10.4 Amendment; Waiver. Subject to the provisions of applicable Legal Requirements, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement by authorized action at any time (notwithstanding approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders) pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto (provided that no amendment shall be made which, by Legal Requirement, requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further shareholder approval). To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Acquiror and the Securityholders’ Representative may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Effective Time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Acquiror and by the Securityholders’ Representative. The failure of any party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

10.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Acquiror may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror without the prior consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that Acquiror shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

10.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.7 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Specific Performance.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

(b) Each of the parties hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the jurisdiction of any other competent court in the County of Los Angeles, State of California (the “California Courts”), preserving, however, all rights of removal to such federal court under 28 U.S.C. 1441, in respect of all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including resolution of disputes under Article 9), and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that it is not subject thereto or that such Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in the California Courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the Person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees that each of the other parties shall have the right to bring any Proceeding for enforcement of any Order entered by the California Courts in any other court having jurisdiction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Section 2.4 or Article 9 of this Agreement, or the breach of Section 2.4 or Article 9 of this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way and shall have no lesser and no greater authority than would California Courts resolving the same controversy, dispute or claim. The parties shall be entitled to conduct all discovery that would be permitted in California Courts; the arbitrator shall have the power to limit such discovery pursuant to motions and protective orders under the same rules and limitations as if he/she were a California Court judge. The arbitrator shall hear motions for earlier disposition and dismissal of claims as provided by law in California Courts (e.g., demurrer, motion to strike, judgment on the pleadings, summary judgment or adjudication, etc.).Within thirty days after final adjournment of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall issue a signed and dated, written reasoned decision and award based on applicable legal standards, not equitable, that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award is based. The arbitrator’s award shall decide all, and only those, issues submitted by the parties. The arbitrator shall be permitted to award only those remedies in law which are requested by the parties and allowed by law.

(e) Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and that Acquiror and the Company may be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages may not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching party may be entitled at law, a non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof.

10.8 Interpretation; Rules of Construction.

(a) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including,” when used in this Agreement, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “provided to,” “delivered to,” “made available to,” “furnished to,” and phrases of similar import when used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, mean that a copy of the information or material referred to has been provided to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided, including by means of being provided for review with unrestricted access for a continuous period of at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Agreement Date in the virtual data room set up in connection with this Agreement located at “▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇?▇▇▇▇ /.” Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (a) words of any gender include each other gender; words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; and the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, each Schedule and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Legal Requirement, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached (or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

(c) The disclosures and responses set forth in a particular section of the Company Disclosure Schedule will also qualify other Sections or Subsections of Article III to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face from the text of an exception or response that such exception or response is applicable to such other Section or Subsection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Company Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.

(d) To the extent that there is a conflict between any general provision of this Agreement and any provision specifically relating to Tax matters, the terms of the specific Tax provision shall control.

10.9 Attorney Fees. If any party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

10.10 Securityholders’ Representative.

(a) Each Company Securityholder, by virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement or other appointment authorization documentation (other than such Company Stockholders, if any, who have perfected appraisal rights under the Delaware Code) or by accepting any consideration payable hereunder shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Securityholders’ Representative”) for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders to act for the Company Securityholders as set forth herein, including, without limitation, with regard to matters pertaining to Sections 1.4, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 6.4, 6.6, 7.3, Article 9 and Article 10, give and receive notices and communications relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the performance of the obligations of each Company Securityholder required by it pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Each Company Securityholder agrees to receive correspondence from the Securityholders’ Representative, including in electronic form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to resign to the Company Securityholders, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (A) thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such written notice or (B) the appointment of a successor by the holders of a majority in interest of the Clawback Shares. If the Securityholders’ Representative shall be removed, resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Company Securityholders shall appoint a successor to the Securityholders’ Representative, and shall immediately thereafter notify Acquiror of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the former Securityholders’ Representative as the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder. If, for any reason, there is no Securityholders’ Representative at any time, all references in this Agreement to the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Escrow Participants. No bond shall be required of the Securityholders’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to its authority hereunder, shall constitute a decision of the Company Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Securityholders.

(b) By executing this Agreement under the heading “Securityholders’ Representative,” ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby (i) accepts his appointment and authorization to act as Securityholders’ Representative as attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of the Company Securityholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) agrees to perform his obligations under, and otherwise comply with, this Section 10.10.

(c) The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Securityholders’ Representative without gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the bona fide good faith advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by the Securityholders’ Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Company Securityholders shall severally indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative and hold it harmless against any loss, Liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Securityholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out-of- pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative. If not paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Company Securityholders, such losses, Liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from the Clawback Shares otherwise distributable to the Escrow Participants (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) after the General Indemnity Termination Date, pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Escrow Participants according to their respective Pro Rata Portion. The Securityholders’ Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Securityholders’ Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Securityholders’ Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. No provision of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall require the Securityholders’ Representative to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial Liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges under this Agreement.

(d) All of the immunities and powers granted to the Securityholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The grant of authority provided for in this Section 10.10: (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective Company Securityholders and shall be binding on any successor thereto and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Escrow Participant of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Clawback Shares.

(e) The Company shall deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a copy of the following documents: (i) the Spreadsheet, (ii) the Closing Expenses Certificate, and (iii) the Company Indebtedness Certificate.

In connection with the foregoing, Acquiror hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from Citron’s representation of the Seller Parties after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this consent and waiver of the right to assert any conflict of interest is solely limited to matters arising in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall constitute a waiver of any attorney client privilege or any privilege associated with the Company on any matter (other than Citron’s representation of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in a manner that would not materially prejudice the Company’s rights and obligations vis-à-vis third parties), and does not waive or excuse Citron from complying with applicable rules of professional conduct regarding the confidentiality of any client information of the Company other than as it pertains to Citron’s representation of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c) All pre-Closing communications involving attorney client confidences between the Company and the Company Securityholders, on the one hand, and Citron, on the other hand, in the course of and relating to the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be attorney client confidences that belong solely to the Company Securityholders (and not the Company) and may be controlled by the Company Securityholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, the Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation) shall be the sole holders of the attorney client privilege with respect to such pre-Closing communications relating to the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof; provided, in the event a dispute arises after Closing between Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), on the one hand, and any other Person other than the Company Securityholders or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, each of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation may assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to such pre-Closing communications to prevent disclosure thereof to such Person.
