(a) Sellers Notes. An aggregate of $350,000, by the issuance and delivery to each of the Sellers of a convertible promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Sellers’ Note and, collectively, the “Sellers’ Notes”), with the principal amount of each Sellers’ Note to be determined based upon such Seller’s pro rata portion of the Company Shares.

(c) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The amount of the Merger Consideration was determined based upon the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

1.13 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares (as defined below) shall thereafter be made.

1.14 Exemption from Registration; Rule 144. Purchaser intends that the Consideration Shares, and the shares of its Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Sellers’ Notes (the “Conversion Shares”), will be issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (a) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (b) an exemption from such registration exists and if requested, the holder of such securities delivers an opinion of counsel to the Purchaser, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to the Purchaser, that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; and the certificates representing such shares will bear an appropriate legend and restriction on the books of Purchaser’s transfer agent to that effect. The Purchaser shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and shall take such further action to make available adequate current public information with respect to the Purchaser meeting the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, to the extent required to enable Sellers to sell their Consideration Shares, Conversion Shares, and Interest Shares (as defined herein) (collectively, “Shares”) at all times following any applicable holding period under Rule 144 and the leak-out provisions of Section 5.6 of this Agreement without registration under the Securities Act in accordance with the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of Sellers, the Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements. Furthermore, at the request of Sellers or other appropriate party and provided that the provisions of Rule 144 (or a similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC) so permits, the Purchaser shall provide Sellers or other appropriate party promptly upon Sellers’ request, an opinion of counsel (which opinion the Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining at its own cost) that (A) the Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 (or a similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC) and (B) allows for the removal of the restrictive legends set forth thereon, and shall take such further action to promptly cause the removal of such restrictive legends, which Purchaser shall pay for on one occasion.

1.15 Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. The Parties shall report the Merger in a manner consistent with the immediately preceding sentence in all tax returns and forms and in the course of any tax audit, review, or legal proceeding relating hereto.

Purchaser has filed with the SEC all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to the SEC Reports. None of the SEC Reports, including any financial statements included therein, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of the SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC investigation and there are no outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. None of the Purchaser’s subsidiaries is required to file or furnish any forms, reports, or other documents with the SEC. The financial statements included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Purchaser as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments as permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. To the Purchaser’s knowledge, the Purchaser is in compliance in all material respects with all of the applicable rules of the OTC Markets. True, correct, and complete copies of all the SEC Reports are publicly available in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval database of the SEC. Since the date of the Purchaser Balance Sheet, and except as set forth in the SEC Reports, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, there has occurred no event or development which, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have in the future, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Compliance with Laws. The conduct and operations of the Purchaser’s and its subsidiaries’ business is in compliance with each Law applicable to the Purchaser and its subsidiaries, or any of its properties or assets, except for any violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. The Purchaser and its subsidiaries have complied with all federal and state securities laws and regulations, including being current in all of its reporting obligations under such federal and state securities laws and regulations; has not, and the past and present officers, directors and Affiliates of the Purchaser have not, been the subject of, nor does any officer or director of the Purchaser or its subsidiaries have any reason to believe that the Purchaser or its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or Affiliates will be the subject of, any civil or criminal proceeding or investigation by any federal or state agency alleging a violation of securities laws; has not been the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, nor has it been a party to any material litigation; has not, and the past and present officers, directors and Affiliates have not, been the subject of, nor does any officer or director of the Purchaser or its subsidiaries have any reason to believe that the Purchaser or its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or Affiliates will be the subject of, any civil, criminal or administrative investigation or proceeding brought by any federal or state agency having regulatory authority over such entity or person.

4.7 Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, as of the date of this Agreement, there is no Legal Proceeding which is pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.8 Permits. Section 4.8 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all authorizations, approvals, clearances, permits, licenses, registrations, certificates, orders, approvals or exemptions from any Governmental Entity (including without limitation those issued or required under Environmental Laws and those relating to the occupancy or use of owned or leased real property) (“Purchaser Permits”) issued to or held by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries. Such listed permits are the only Purchaser Permits that are required for the Purchaser and its subsidiaries to conduct its business as presently conducted except for those the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Each such Purchaser Permit is in full force and effect and, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, no suspension or cancellation of such Purchaser Permit is threatened and there is no basis for believing that such Purchaser Permit will not be renewable upon expiration. Each such Purchaser Permit will continue in full force and effect immediately following the Closing.

4.9 Consideration Shares. As of the Closing, all of the Consideration Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights. Upon delivery to the Sellers of the certificates representing the Consideration Shares, the Sellers will acquire good and valid title to such Consideration Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than restrictions under applicable securities laws. The Purchaser has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in paragraph (i)(3) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144 and one year has elapsed from the date that the Purchaser filed such “Form 10 information” with the SEC, and the Purchaser’s counsel has issued Rule 144 legal opinions in the past allowing for resales of Common Stock under Rule 144.

No representation or warranty by the Purchaser or the Acquisition Subsidiary contained in this Agreement, and no statement contained in any document, certificate or other instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Acquisition Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary, in light of the circumstances under which it was or will be made, in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading. The Purchaser has disclosed to the Company all material information relating to the business of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There is no fact known to a Purchaser that would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or, as far as can be reasonably foreseen, materially threatens, the assets, business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations of the Purchaser that has not been set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS

5.1 Access and Information. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall permit representatives of the other to have reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records, technology, technical support, contracts, commitments, reports of examination and documents of or pertaining to, as may be necessary to permit the other to, at its sole expense, make, or cause to be made, such investigations thereof as the other reasonably deems necessary or advisable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Purchaser and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with any such investigations. No investigation by a Party or its representatives or advisors prior to or after the date of this Agreement (including any information obtained by a Party pursuant to this Section 5.1) shall diminish, obviate or cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement nor shall the conduct or completion of any such investigation be a condition to any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement.

5.2 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto shall use their best efforts and cause their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors and agents to use their respective best efforts to treat as confidential and hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of Law, and after prior written notice to the other parties, all confidential information of the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, that is made available in connection with this Agreement, and will not release or disclose such confidential information to any other Person, except to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors and other consultants, agents, and advisors in connection with this Agreement. If the Closing does not occur, (a) such confidence shall be maintained by the Parties, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, Affiliates and such other Persons to maintain such confidence, except to the extent such information comes into the public domain (other than as a result of an action by such party, its officers, directors or such other Persons in contravention of this Agreement), and (b) upon the request of any party, the other party shall promptly return to the requesting party any written materials remaining in its possession, which materials it has received from the requesting party or its representatives, together with any analyses or other written materials based upon the materials provided.

5.3 Efforts to Consummate.

5.4 Notification by the Company and Sellers. The Company and the Sellers shall use their respective best efforts to as promptly as practicable inform the other parties hereto in writing if, prior to the consummation of the Closing, it obtains knowledge that any of the representations and warranties made by such party in this Agreement ceases to be accurate and complete in any respect, it becomes aware of any fact or condition that constitutes a breach of any covenant of such party as of the date of this Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to cause any of its covenants to be breached as of the Closing Date. Any such notification shall not be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement for any purposes of this Agreement. When any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision contained in this Agreement is qualified by reference to “knowledge” of or “known” to or by the Company or any Seller or words of similar import, it means the actual knowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (in the case of the Company) or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (in the case of any Seller) has with respect to such matter. Any representations or warranties in Articles II and III to the effect that the Company, any Seller or other Person has not received or been given notice or notification or other communication of a matter (or similar phrase) means that, to the Company’s knowledge, such Person has not received or been given such notice or notification or other communication.

5.5 Financial Reporting.

(d) Up to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares may be sold after a holding period of thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leak-Out Provision may be waived by the Purchaser, upon written request by a Seller, if the Purchaser is trading on either the NYSE American or Nasdaq, and has a rolling 30-day average trading volume of 50,000 shares per day; provided, however, that (i) only up to five percent (5%) of the previous days total volume can be sold in one day by a Seller; and (ii) the Seller can only sell through executing trades “On the Offer.”

5.7 Non-Competition. As an inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, and as additional consideration for the Merger Consideration to be paid to the Sellers hereunder, the Sellers will enter into a non-competition/non-circumvention agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Sellers Non-Competition Agreement”).

5.8 Board Composition. Effective as of the Closing, the board of directors of the Surviving Company shall consist of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. So long as the Sellers continue to beneficially own in the aggregate at least five percent (5%) of Purchaser’s Common Stock, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the board of directors, in a non-voting observer capacity and, in this respect, Purchaser shall give ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ copies of all notices (in the same manner as provided to the members of board of directors), minutes, consents and other materials that it has provided to its directors in connection with such meeting; provided, however, that the Surviving Company reserves the right to exclude ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from access to any of such materials or meetings or portions thereof if the Surviving Company believes that (a) any such material or portion thereof to be a trade secret or similar confidential information, or (b) such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

5.9 Registration Rights.

(a) Piggyback Registration Rights.

(i) Each Seller (together with any permitted transferee of such Seller, a “Holder”) is hereby granted the right to “piggyback” the Consideration Shares, any Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Sellers’ Notes, and/or any shares issued as payment of interest under the Sellers’ Notes (“Interest Shares”) (such shares being referred to collectively herein as “Registrable Securities”) on any registration statement filed by the Purchaser to register equity securities (or other Purchaser securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Purchaser equity securities) issued by the Purchaser (the “Registration Statement”), so long as the registration form to be used is suitable for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”) (it being understood that the Form S-8 and Form S-4, or any successor forms, may not be used for such purposes), all at the Purchaser’s cost and expense (except commissions or discounts and fees of any of the Holder’s own professionals, if any; it being understood that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Holder’s counsel); provided, however, that this paragraph 5.9(a)(i) shall not apply to any Registrable Securities if such Registrable Securities may then be sold under Rule 144 (assuming the Holder’s compliance with the provisions of the Rule) with the result that the sold securities are freely tradable without restriction and the Purchaser delivers an opinion to that effect to the transfer agent; and provided, further, that if the offering with respect to which a Registration Statement is filed is an underwritten primary or secondary offering of the Purchaser’s securities and the managing underwriter advises the Purchaser in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting such underwriter’s ability to effect an orderly distribution of such securities or otherwise adversely affecting such offering (including, without limitation, causing a diminution in the offering price of the Purchaser’s securities) the Purchaser will include in such Registration Statement: (1) first, the securities being sold for the account of the Purchaser; (2) second, the number of securities with respect to which the Purchaser has granted rights to participate in such registration (including the Registrable Securities) that, in the opinion of such underwriter, can be sold pro rata among the respective holders of such securities on the basis of the amount of such securities then owned by each such Holder. The Purchaser shall give each Holder of Registrable Securities at least fifteen (15) days written notice of the intended filing date of any Registration Statement, other than a registration statement filed on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor forms, and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have seven (7) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Purchaser of its intent to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement.

(ii) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Purchaser shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Purchaser may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to all Holders of the Registrable Securities and (1) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration and (2) in the case of a determination to delay such registration of its securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other Purchaser securities.

(b) Expenses. The Purchaser shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities (except any underwriters’ discounts and commissions and fees of any of the Holders’ own professionals, if any; it being understood that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Holder’s counsel). The Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to cause the filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify to register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Holder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would (i) cause the Purchaser to be obligated to register or license to do business in such state, (ii) subject the Purchaser to any material tax where it is not then so subject, (iii) require the Purchaser to file a general consent to service of process in such jurisdiction, or (iv) cause the principal stockholders of the Purchaser to be obligated to escrow any of their shares of capital stock of the Purchaser.

(c) Indemnification. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement filed hereunder, and each of such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person, if any, who controls each of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever incurred by the indemnified party in any action or proceeding between the indemnitor and indemnified party or between the indemnified party and any third party or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other statute or at common law or otherwise under laws of foreign countries, arising from such Registration Statement or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) any preliminary prospectus, registration statement or prospectus (as from time to time each may be amended and supplemented); (ii) in any post-effective amendment or amendments or any new registration statement and prospectus in which is included the Registrable Securities; or (iii) any application or other document or written communication (collectively called “application”) executed by the Purchaser or based upon written information furnished by the Purchaser in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof or filed with the commission, any state securities commission or agency, any national securities exchange; or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; unless such statement or omission is made in reliance upon, and in strict conformity with, written information furnished to the Purchaser with respect to the Holders expressly for use in a preliminary prospectus, registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or in any application, as the case may be. The Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Holders of the Registrable Securities of the commencement of any litigation proceedings against the Purchaser or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons in connection with the issue and sale or resale of the Registrable Securities or in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus.

5.10 Expenses. The Parties shall each bear their own respective expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger.

5.11 Purchaser Equity Incentive Plan. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Board of Directors and shareholders of Purchaser shall adopt the Equity Incentive Plan (a) to optimize the profitability and growth of the Company through incentives which are consistent with the Company’s goals and which link the personal interests of participants to those of the Company’s stockholders; (b) to provide participants with an incentive for excellence in individual performance; and (c) to promote teamwork among participants.

5.12 Cost Plus Production. After the Closing, the Company will manufacture for ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or his assignee, the Company’s standard products, requiring no material modifications, for applications that are not currently a part of the Company’s current business specifically related to medical devices for compressed gas delivery. The Company agrees to manufacture these products on the basis of the following cost structure:

Component Cost + Manufacturing Labor + Overhead Burden + 30%

If the product requires material modifications, the Company is under no obligation to produce the product. In the event the Company elects to produce the product with material modifications, the pricing for that product will be negotiated separately.
