Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to the Sellers for the Securities in the aggregate at the Closing Nine Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($9,750,000) (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as described in Section 2.2 below, by delivery of (i) cash in the amount of Four Million Eight Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($4,875,000) (the “Cash Portion”), constituting fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts identified by Sellers to Buyer in writing at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) two secured subordinated convertible promissory notes (each, a “Buyer Note I”), in the form to be agreed to by the Company and the Buyer, in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Four Hundred Thirty Seven Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars ($2,437,500), constituting twenty five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price, and (iii) two secured subordinated non-convertible promissory notes (each, a “Buyer Note II,” and together each Buyer Note I the “Buyer Notes”), in the form to be agreed to by the Company and the Buyer, in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Four Hundred Thirty Seven Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars ($2,437,500), constituting twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price. All payments to be made under this Agreement of the Cash Portion, the Buyer Notes and any positive adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

2.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) Adjusted EBITDA Adjustments.

(i) The Purchase Price is based upon a six point five (6.5) times multiple of estimated Adjusted EBITDA (as such term shall be defined by the mutual agreement of the Company and the Buyer) for the calendar year 2021 (“2021 Adjusted EBITDA”). The Buyer has engaged the QofE Firm to prepare a quality of earnings report on the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Quality of Earnings Report”) and shall cause the Quality of Earnings Report to be delivered to the Company and the Sellers by no later than the fourteenth (14^th) day following the Agreement Date. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards or downwards upon delivery of the Quality of Earnings Report to all parties based upon the difference between six point five (6.5) times the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the Quality of Earnings Report and the Purchase Price. The adjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated among (i) the Cash Portion, Buyer Note I and Buyer Note II based on the percentage of the Purchase Price that each such component of consideration makes up as described above in Section 2.1 and (ii) the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) In the event the Company or the Sellers do not agree with the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA as set forth in the Quality of Earnings Report for any reason, the Company or the Sellers shall so inform the Buyer in writing within twenty (20) days of their receipt thereof, such writing to set forth the objections of the Company and the Sellers in reasonable detail. If the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating to the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA as set forth in the Quality of Earnings Report within fifteen (15) days after notification by the Company or the Sellers to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall forthwith refer the dispute to an independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, for resolution, with the understanding that such firm shall resolve all disputed items within twenty (20) days after such disputed items are referred to it. If the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company and the Sellers, on the other hand, are unable to agree on the choice of an independent accounting firm, they shall select an independent accounting firm by lot from up to three firms proposed by each of the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms and the QofE Firm). Each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall bear one-half of the costs of such independent accounting firm. The decision of the independent accounting firm with respect to all disputed matters relating to the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.2(a)(ii). In addition, if the Company and the Sellers do not object to within the 20-day period referred to above, the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.2(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is determined by the independent accounting firm to be equal to or less than $1,500,000, then Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company and the Sellers, on the other hand, may elect to terminate this Agreement, unless the Buyer notifies the Company and the Sellers, in writing, within five (5) days following such determination of 2021 Adjusted EBITDA that there shall be no reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) as a result of 2021 Adjusted EBITDA being equal to or less than $1,500,000.

(iii) The Company and the Sellers shall be entitled to have access to the books and records and other information relating to the Company that was used by the QofE Firm to prepare the Quality of Earnings Report, including the work papers prepared in connection with the preparation of the Quality of Earnings Report and shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer and those persons responsible for the preparation thereof.

(b) Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) At the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer an unaudited, combined estimated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Preliminary Balance Sheet”) as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date together with a statement (the “Estimated Closing Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital based upon the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries maintained in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and which Estimated Closing Certificate shall in any event be prepared in accordance with GAAP (and in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical financial statements, to the extent consistent with GAAP) so as to present fairly in all material respects the financial conditions of the Company as of such date.

(ii) Within ninety days (90) after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers an unaudited, combined balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and all calculations, work papers and supporting documents (the “Supporting Documentation”) as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, together with a statement (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Buyer’s good faith determination of Closing Working Capital based upon the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries maintained in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and which Closing Certificate shall in any event be prepared in accordance with GAAP (and in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical financial statements, to the extent consistent with GAAP) in a manner consistent with the Preliminary Balance Sheet so as to present fairly in all material respects the financial conditions of the Company as of such date. Until the Closing Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), Buyer shall afford the Sellers (and their Representatives) reasonable access to all books and records and all personnel used to prepare, or otherwise relevant to the calculation of, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital that are under control of or in the possession of Buyer or the Company (or their respective Representatives). If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Closing Certificate, Closing Date Balance Sheet and Supporting Documentation pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(ii), then, at the written election of the Sellers delivered prior to its receipt of such documents, the Estimated Closing Certificate shall be conclusive, final and binding on all parties hereto.

(iii) In the event the Sellers do not agree with the Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Certificate, the Sellers shall so inform the Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Sellers’ receipt thereof, such writing to set forth the objections of the Sellers in reasonable detail. If the Sellers and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating to the Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Certificate within fifteen (15) days after notification by the Sellers to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall forthwith refer the dispute to an independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Sellers and the Buyer for resolution, with the understanding that such firm shall resolve all disputed items within thirty (30) days after such disputed items are referred to it.

(iv) The independent accounting firm will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Certificate as to which Buyer and the Sellers have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve such matters in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each party may furnish to the independent accounting firm such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to the other party. The independent accounting firm shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the supporting material provided and the terms of this Agreement by the parties and not pursuant to any independent review and may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as presented to the independent accounting firm. The independent accounting firm shall issue a detailed written report that sets forth the resolution of all items in dispute and that contains, as applicable, a final statement of Closing Working Capital. Such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and the Sellers absent manifest error. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree on the choice of an independent accounting firm, they shall select an independent accounting firm by lot from up to three (3) firms proposed by each of the Sellers and Buyer (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms and the QofE Firm). Each of the Sellers and the Buyer shall bear one-half of the costs of such independent accounting firm. If the Sellers do not object to the Closing Working Capital as set forth in a timely delivered Closing Certificate within the thirty (30) day period referred to above, the Closing Working Capital as set forth in the timely delivered Closing Certificate shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer.

(v) If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), exceeds the Working Capital Target, then the Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) pay to the Sellers an amount that is equal to such excess as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) shall be paid in cash; (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) shall be paid through an increase in the principal amount of the Sellers’ Buyer Note I; and (iii) twenty-five percent (25%) shall be paid through an increase in the principal amount of the Sellers’ Buyer Note II. If the Working Capital Target exceeds the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), then each Seller shall, severally but not jointly (in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Share), promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) pay to the Buyer an amount that is equal to its portion of the deficiency (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the deficiency) as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) shall be paid in cash; (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) shall be paid through the reduction in the principal amount of such Seller’s Buyer Note I; and (iii) twenty-five percent (25%) shall be paid through the reduction in the principal amount of such Seller’s Buyer Note II.

The Cash Portion shall be decreased by the sum of (i) the amount of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money existing as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date and (ii) the cost to consummate the Ceautamed Purchase, and the Buyer shall be responsible for making the payments covered by clauses (i) and (ii) above at the Closing. Any such decrease in the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares,

(d) Adjustment for Cash. The Cash Portion shall be increased by any cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. Any such increase in the Cash Portion shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares

6.8 Financial Information. The Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer and the Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firm in order to enable the Buyer to create audited financial statements prepared in accordance with the GAAP for the two full fiscal years preceding the Closing Date, by making available the Sellers’ records as they are maintained in the ordinary course of business and answering reasonable questions.

(b) With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by the Buyer (including the Company) following the Closing Date and in which any of the Continuing Employees participate (the “Purchaser Plans”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting purposes (but not for accrual of benefits other than determining the level of vacation pay accrual and level of severance benefits), service with the Company or any Subsidiary (or predecessor employers to the extent the Buyer provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with the Buyer, except to the extent such service credit would result in any duplication of benefits. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each applicable Purchaser Plan to waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations. To the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent applicable in the plan year that contains the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Continuing Employees credit under the applicable Purchaser Plan for amounts paid prior to the Closing Date during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs under a corresponding benefit plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out of pocket maximums, as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Plan.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would have the effect of requiring, Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue any specific Company Benefit Plan or to continue the employment of any specific Person.

(b) In the event Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.12. The provisions of this Section 6.12 shall survive the Closing and are expressly intended to benefit each of the D&O Indemnified Persons,

6.13 Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall hold, and cause each of their respective Representatives to hold, all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any documents and information obtained pursuant to Section 6.3) in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), all post-Closing agreements and post-Closing covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect until performed (or the applicable expiration date set forth in such post-Closing covenant). All pre-Closing covenants shall expire on the Closing Date.

9.2 Indemnification by Sellers. From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Sellers agree to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against or affecting such Person; provided, that “Losses” shall not include (i) punitive damages, (ii) special damages, (iii) Losses based on diminution of value (whether on a multiple or other basis) or (iv) speculative damages or other damages that are not the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the breach giving rise to such Losses except, in the case of (i) and (iv), to the extent such damages are required to be paid to a third party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim. (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers or the Company contained in Article III or IV of this Agreement; or (b) the failure of Sellers to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Sellers and to the extent applicable, the Sellers’ Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Sellers Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the Fundamental Representations of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement or (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.

(b) In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.5 Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be deemed to extend the period for which Sellers’s representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.

9.6 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for Losses arising under Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, unless the claim therefor is asserted in writing on or prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties and (ii) the liability of the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 is subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Sellers shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2 (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) to the extent that the aggregate amounts otherwise indemnifiable for all such Losses exceeds an aggregate maximum amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price actually received by the Sellers in cash or from the receipt of payments under the Buyer Notes.

(b) No Seller shall, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under this Agreement (including Section 9.2) in excess of the sum of (i) the aggregate Purchase Price received by such Seller in cash at the Closing and (ii) the cash proceeds received by such Seller from payment of the Buyer Notes.

(c) With respect to any indemnification claim for Losses hereunder, such Seller shall solely be responsible for its Pro Rata Share of such indemnification claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be responsible for any breach (i) of a representation and warranty made in Article III by any other Seller and (ii) of a post-Closing covenant by any other Seller.

(d) The Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2 (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) until and unless the aggregate amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $150,000, at which point the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party from and against all Losses relating back to the first dollar of Losses.

(e) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Article IX, for purposes of computing the amount of any Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article IX, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, reimbursements or other recoveries actually received (net of actual out-of-pocket costs of enforcement, deductibles and retro-premium adjustments), and any Tax benefits realizable, by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Losses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates becomes entitled to receive any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, or reimbursements or other recoveries or Tax benefit after an indemnification payment has been made to it, Buyer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall promptly pay (up to the aggregate amount of indemnification payments previously made to Buyer or its Affiliates hereunder) to the Sellers, the amount of such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, or reimbursements or other recoveries or Tax benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments, or reimbursements or other recoveries or Tax benefits are actually received by Buyer or its Affiliates.

(f) If a Seller is finally determined to be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for Losses arising under Section 9.2, such Losses shall be paid as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) of such Losses shall be paid in cash; (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of such Losses shall be paid through a reduction in the principal amount of such Seller’s Buyer Note I; and (iii) twenty-five percent (25%) of such Losses shall be paid through a reduction in the principal amount of such Seller’s Buyer Note II. Provided that the Buyer shall not seek payment in a manner contrary to the immediately preceding sentence unless otherwise agreed to by such Seller, unless the cash portion of the Loss set forth in (i) above is not paid in full, in which case Buyer may seek an increase in the reduction in the principal amount of such Seller’s Buyer Note I or Buyer Note II in an amount equal to the cash shortfall.

9.7 Payments; Characterization. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon the determination in accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

9.8 Recoupment under Buyer Notes. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, if the Sellers are finally determined to be liable to the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim in accordance with this Article IX, Buyer shall have the right to set-off a portion of the amount of such claim in accordance with Section 9.6(f) against their obligations against the Buyer Notes (or such greater portion as may be agreed to by the Sellers and Buyer).

9.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions contained in this Article IX are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses any Buyer Indemnified Party may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Acquisition or the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that nothing in this Section 9.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights to specific performance or other similar equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement).

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

10.7 Governing Law; Mediation; Arbitration.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Florida without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

(b) The Parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement by mediation, which shall be conducted under the then current mediation procedures of JAMS or any other procedure upon which the Parties may agree. The Parties further agree that their respective good faith participation in mediation is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution procedures. Either party may commence the mediation process by providing to the other party written notice, setting forth the subject of the dispute, claim or controversy and the relief requested. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the foregoing notice, the other party shall deliver a written response to the initiating party’s notice. The initial mediation session shall be held within thirty (30) days after the initial notice. The Parties agree to share equally the costs and expenses of the mediation (which shall not include the expenses incurred by each party for its own legal representation in connection with the mediation). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that mediation proceedings are settlement negotiations, and that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties or their agents shall be confidential and inadmissible in any arbitration or other legal proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence which is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. The provisions of this section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

(c) All disputes, controversies or claims between the Parties hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including its existence, validity or termination) that cannot be amicably resolved or resolved through mediation shall be finally resolved and settled by arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules. The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Miami, Florida, and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Miami, Florida for such purpose and for the purpose of exercising any equitable remedies available to the Parties hereunder, and each party hereby waives any objection such person may have based on improper venue or inconvenient forum in connection with any such action or proceeding in any such court.

10.8 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

10.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Acquisition is consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses. As used in this Agreement, “expenses” means the out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the financial advisor, counsel and accountants incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.11 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

10.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties will be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity.

10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

10.14 Waiver of Conflict of Interest and Ownership of Attorney Client and Work Product Privilege. Buyer, on behalf of its self and the Buyer Indemnified Parties, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, hereby waive any conflict of interest that may result from the joint representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Sellers, in connection with the Acquisition. In the event of any dispute between Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company or its Subsidiaries (on the one hand), and the Sellers (on the other hand) in connection with the Acquisition, (x) Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company and its Subsidiaries hereby expressly and knowingly consent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Traurig, P.A. representing the Sellers or any of their Affiliates and declining to represent Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company or its Subsidiaries in such dispute. This consent constitutes a waiver of any conflict of interest claim against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. as a result of its representation of Sellers or any of their Affiliates that relate primarily to the Acquisition. Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company and its Subsidiaries further agree that, as to all communications among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Traurig, P.A. and any of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Sellers or any of their Affiliates that relate primarily to the Acquisition, the attorney-client and work product privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Sellers and their Affiliates and may be controlled by them and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Company or its Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client or work product privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. to such third party; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries may not waive such privileges without the prior written consent of Sellers and their Affiliates.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
