As used in this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall include all the Shares contemplated to be transferred under this Agreement and all securities and other assets received (i) in replacement of the Shares, (ii) as a result of distributions, dividends (including stock dividends) or stock splits in respect of the Shares and (iii) as substitution for the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization or the like.
SECTION 2. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
2.1 Closing of the Shares Purchase. The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place remotely (other than as contemplated by Section 2.3) via the exchange of documents and signatures at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on the second Business Day following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, or at such other time or place as Lorex and the Purchaser may mutually agree (the date of the Initial Closing, the “Initial Closing Date” ). At the Initial Closing, subject to Section 2.3 and the other terms and conditions hereof, Lorex will sell and deliver to the Purchaser 237,500 of the Shares, against payment of $2,375,000 (which amount is calculated as 237,500 multiplied by the Per Share Price).
2.2 Subsequent Closings. Each subsequent closing of the purchase and sale of Shares hereunder (each a “Subsequent Closing”) shall take place on (i) the date that is 90 days following the Initial Closing (in the case of the first Subsequent Closing) or the immediately preceding Subsequent Closing, as applicable, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) such earlier date as the Purchaser may elect by prior written notice delivered to Lorex. At each Subsequent Closing, subject to Section 2.3 and the other terms and conditions hereof, Lorex will sell and deliver to the Purchaser the Shares, against payment of cash consideration as follows:

| (iv) | 90 days following the prior Closing – 118,750 shares in consideration for $1,187,500 |
Each of the foregoing dates may be accelerated by Purchaser by written notice to Lorex. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be four (4) Subsequent Closings hereunder, except to the extent the Purchaser elects by prior written notice delivered to Lorex to accelerate one or more Subsequent Closings such that they occur simultaneously with other Subsequent Closings.
2.3 Stock and Purchase Price Deliveries.

Lorex has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Lorex has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, when executed, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to issue and sell the Shares and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents. Lorex is duly qualified and authorized to do business, or registered as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to be so qualified or registered would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially interfere with or delay the closing of the transactions under this Agreement.
3.2 Shares. Lorex owns all of the Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances (except as may exist by reason of this Agreement, the Existing Mutual Support Agreement or pursuant to applicable law), which shares represent 100% of the shares of capital stock of the Company of which Mr. Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Xxxx (“Xx. Xxxx”) is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement). Other than the Shares, neither Lorex nor Xx. Xxxx has any interest in any outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire any of the Company’s capital stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s capital stock or for securities themselves convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s capital stock (together, “Convertible Securities”). Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.2 or pursuant to this Agreement, Lorex has no agreement or commitment to sell any of the Shares. All of the Shares (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued, (ii) are fully paid and nonassessable, (iii) are free from any preemptive and cumulative voting rights and (iv) were issued pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state securities authorities or pursuant to valid exemptions under federal and state securities laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2, there are no outstanding rights of first refusal or proxy or shareholder agreements of any kind relating to any of the Shares to which Lorex or Xx. Xxxx is a party or as to which Lorex or Xx. Xxxx has received written notice.
3.3 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the part of Lorex and its directors (including any special committee of independent directors) necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Lorex is a party and the performance of all obligations of Lorex hereunder and thereunder at the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closings, including the sale and delivery of the Shares, has been taken, and no further corporate action is required to be taken. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Lorex is a party, when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of Lorex, enforceable against Lorex in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) general principles of equity, including those that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. The sale of the Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.
3.4 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of and compliance with the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Lorex is a party, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both, conflict with, constitute a violation or default under, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien or other Encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of Lorex pursuant to, (i) Lorex’s currently effective Organizational Documents, (ii) any provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is party or by which it is bound, (iii) any judgment, decree, order, writ, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Lorex or any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to Lorex, except (in the case of (ii) and (iii)) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially interfere with or delay the closing of the transactions under this Agreement.
3.7 Sophisticated Transferor. Lorex (i) is a sophisticated entity familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the Shares and (iii) has independently and without reliance upon the Purchaser, and based on such information and the advice of such advisors as Lorex has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
3.8 Acknowledgment Regarding the Purchaser’s Role. Lorex acknowledges that the Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of Lorex (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by the Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares. Lorex further represents to the Purchaser that Lorex’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation by Lorex and its representatives.

(b) Acquisition for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for the Purchaser’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their public distribution.
