Any dividends, distributions or earnings on the Escrow Shares held in the Escrow Fund and on the Grant Holdback Shares held in the Grant Holdback Fund shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent into separate interest bearing bank accounts established by the Escrow Agent for such purpose.

Twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), the Escrow Agent will deliver the remaining Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund, if any, and any dividends, distributions or earnings with respect to such Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Fund and accrued interest thereon, to Parent; provided, however, that subject to and in accordance with the terms of Article 9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold from delivery of the Escrow Fund such number of Escrow Shares as shall have a value, based upon the per share average closing price for the preceding 10 days of the Escrow Shares at the Escrow Release Date, equal to any amounts then in dispute relating to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement, provided further that the withheld Escrow Shares, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 9, shall be delivered to Parent upon resolution of such dispute. Twenty-Four months after the Closing Date (the “Grant Holdback Release Date”), the Escrow Agent will deliver the remaining Grant Holdback Shares in the Grant Holdback Fund, if any, and any dividends, distributions or earnings with respect to such Grant Holdback Shares then held in the Grant Holdback Fund and accrued interest thereon, to Parent; provided, however, that subject to and in accordance with the terms of Article 9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold from delivery of the Grant Holdback Fund such number of Grant Holdback Shares as shall have a value, based upon the per share average closing price for the preceding 10 days of the Grant Holdback Shares at the Grant Holdback Release Date, equal to any amounts then in dispute relating to indemnification obligations arising pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of this Agreement, provided further that the withheld Grant Holdback Shares, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Agreement, shall be delivered to Parent upon resolution of such dispute;

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

1.6 Transfer of Purchased Assets and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities.

Such instruments of transfer shall include, without limitation, the following: (a) a Xxxx of Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Xxxx of Sale”); (b) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Assumption Agreement”); and (c) assignments and necessary approvals, consents and waivers duly executed by Seller, Buyer and all necessary third parties with respect to all Acquired Agreements and all Permits, to the extent such Permits are transferable. Seller shall take all requisite steps to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased Assets and the Business.

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

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

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

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

6.2 Assignment of Contracts. To the extent that any lease, license, contract, agreement, sales or purchase order, Permit or right of Seller included in the Purchased Assets, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom (each, an “Interest”), is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed without causing a violation of applicable Laws and Regulations or without the authorization, approval, consent or waiver of the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto, or any other Person, including a Governmental Entity (or if such Interest would be breached in the event of a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance without such approval, consent or waiver), then this Agreement shall not, in the event such issuer or other Person shall object to such assignment, constitute an assignment or conveyance thereof absent such approval, consent or waiver. Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer, at its request, in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of any such Interests to Buyer.

(d) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall become responsible for any and all wages, salaries and other cash compensation payable to each Continuing Employee for periods following the Closing Date on such terms and conditions as Buyer and each Continuing Employee may agree.

Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time. Buyer and Seller agree that the Seller Employees are not third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

6.4 Use of Seller Intellectual Property. As promptly as practicable following the Closing, Seller shall remove any Seller Intellectual Property from letterheads and other materials remaining in its possession or under its control, and Seller shall not use, put into use, or purport to authorize any other Person to use after the Closing, any materials that bear any trademark, service xxxx, trade dress, logo, trade name or company name contained in Seller Intellectual Property or any trademark, service xxxx, trade dress, logo, trade name or company name similar or related thereto.

To the extent that the value of the Escrow Shares is insufficient to cover the entire amount of the Losses incurred under Section 9.2, then Seller or Parent shall make payment to Buyer for any remaining amount owed for such Losses, at the election of Seller or Parent, by either (i) delivering Shares of Common Stock of Dynasil (other than the Grant Holdback Shares) of such whole number as shall equal the amount of such Losses divided by the per share average closing price for the preceding 10 days of such Shares of Common Stock of Dynasil on the date such indemnification payment is to be made, or (ii) delivering cash, by wire transfer, check, or other method acceptable to Buyer.

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

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

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

9.6 Assertion of Claims.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Article 10

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION COVENANTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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