(a)           Merger.

(1)        Merger. Upon the terms of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Holdco in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the separate company existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and Holdco shall continue as the surviving company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of SMGI; and all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub and Holdco will vest in Holdco as the surviving company, and all of the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Merger Sub and Holdco shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the surviving company.

(2)        Certificate of Merger. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, and after approval of the Merger by XXXX as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub and Xxx and Xxxxx as the stockholders of Holdco, Merger Sub and Holdco shall file a duly executed certificate of merger in form and substance reasonably acceptable to SMGI and Sellers (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL.

(3)        Organizational Documents.

Each share of common stock in Holdco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the Common Stock Consideration and Preferred Stock Consideration issued or paid by SMGI to the applicable Sellers in accordance with Section 2.2(c). The outstanding shares of common stock in Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically shall be converted into and exchanged for all of the outstanding shares of common stock in Holdco as of immediately following the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)           Purchase and Sale of Fleet, Transportation, Global, Logistics and Wash Company Interests. In accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing SMGI shall purchase from the applicable Sellers, and the applicable Sellers shall sell to the Buyer, all of the Company Interests of Fleet, Transportation, Global, Logistics and Wash, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances under federal and state securities laws).

(d)           Logistics. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to the applicable Sellers at the Closing in connection with the purchase of the Logistics Company Interests shall consist of:

(2)        $600,000 shares of the Note Consideration.

(g)           Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be set aside and deposited into an escrow account (“Escrow”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Escrow Agent”), with the Indemnity Escrow Amount held for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date to cover Claims of Buyer against Sellers arising out of a breach of this Agreement or Sellers’ indemnity obligations hereunder and the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount held until the Purchase Price adjustment amount is finalized pursuant to Section 2.3. The Escrow shall be governed by an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (“Escrow Agreement”).

2.3           Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)           Adjustment at Closing. Exhibit D, which was provided by Sellers to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days before Closing, sets forth the calculation of the NWC Target, Estimated NWC, Estimated Closing Company Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses. The NWC Target, Estimated NWC, Estimated Closing Company Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses are calculated in accordance with GAAP as applied by the Companies in connection with preparation of their 2022 audited financial statements. Any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration will be allocated among the Companies pro rata, in accordance with the allocation of Closing Cash Consideration set forth in Section 2.2.

(b)           Post-Closing Adjustment.

(1)           On or before the ninetieth (90^th) day after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), Closing Company Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses as of the Closing (the “Post-Closing Statement”). The Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as applied by the Companies in connection with preparation of their 2022 audited financial statements. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer will cooperate with each other and their respective representatives in good faith and in all reasonable respects as may be requested by the opposite Party in preparing and reviewing the Post-Closing Final Statement. The final determination of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses as of the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.3 is the “Final Net Working Capital,” “Final Closing Company Cash,” “Final Closing Indebtedness,” and “Final Transaction Expenses”, respectively. If Final Net Working Capital is within $500,000 of Estimated NWC, the Parties agree that there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price relating to such difference between Final Networking Capital and Estimated NWC.

(1)           Examination. After receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Post-Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Companies to the extent that they relate to the Post-Closing Statement.

(2)           Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative may object to the Post-Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Buyer’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Xxxxx’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers’ Representative. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Post-Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Xxxxx and the Sellers’ Representative, shall be final and binding.

(3)           Resolution of Disputes. If the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then either the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer may submit any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) for resolution to the office of Xxxx, Sapper & Xxxxxx, in Indianapolis, Indiana or such other independent public accounting firm as is reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Independent Accountants”), who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Post-Closing Statement. Xxxxx and the Sellers’ Representative will jointly engage the Independent Accountants and will enter into an engagement letter with the Independent Accountants promptly after retention, which will include customary indemnification, confidentiality and other provisions proposed by the Independent Accountants. The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer will cooperate with the Independent Accountants in good faith and in all reasonable respects as may be requested by the Independent Accountants, including providing the Independent Accountants reasonable access during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice to any relevant personnel, properties, and books and records of the Companies. The Parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Post-Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(4)           Fees of the Independent Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Sellers, on the one hand, and by Xxxxx, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Xxxxxxx and Buyer.

(5)           Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto.

(d)           Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment.

(1)           The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the sum of (I) Final Net Working Capital plus (or minus) the Final Cash Adjustment minus Final Closing Indebtedness minus Final Transaction Expenses, minus the sum of (II) Estimated NWC plus (or minus) the Closing Cash Adjustment minus Estimated Indebtedness minus Estimated Transaction Expenses (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Sellers, as directed by the Sellers’ Representative, an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment out of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount or, if the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, by Sellers directly.

(2)           Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be due within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Post-Closing Statement; or if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the final resolution of such disputes in accordance with this Section 2.3; and be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Xxxxx or Sellers, as the case may be. Any Post-Closing Adjustment will be allocated among the Companies pro rata, in accordance with the allocation of Closing Cash Consideration set forth in Section 2.2.

(e)           Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.4           Closing. The closing of the transactions set forth herein (the “Closing”) shall take place (a) on the date hereof or (b) at such other time as Buyer and the Sellers may mutually agree in writing. Such date is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” All actions to be taken and all documents to be executed or delivered at Closing will be deemed to have been taken, executed and delivered simultaneously, and no action will be deemed taken and no document will be deemed executed or delivered until all have been taken, delivered and executed, except in each case to the extent otherwise stated in any such document.

(h)           The Parties intend (i) that the Merger and the Post-Closing Merger are an integrated transaction pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2001-46 Situation 1 and therefore a reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and this Agreement is a plan of reorganization; (ii) the purchase of the Company Interests of Fleet, Transportation and Logistics is a purchase and sale of such stock, and (iii) that the Membership Interest Purchase is a deemed liquidation of each of Global and Wash and a subsequent purchase by Buyer of the assets of Global and Wash, as described in Revenue Ruling 99-6 Situation 2 (together, with (i) and (ii), the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each of the Parties agree to file all Tax Returns and take all positions in respect of any Tax audit, examination, dispute or other proceeding consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment except as otherwise required as a result of a final “determination” pursuant to Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state or local applicable Law).

(c)           In connection herewith, SMGI may, at its sole option, offset any amounts owed by SMGI to Seller(s), including the Note Consideration, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3 and 7.4. Any amounts due to the SMGI Representatives hereunder may first be deducted from the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

7.3           Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)           With respect to any Claim as to which Sellers may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(1) (other than the Buyer Fundamental Representations or with respect to Fraud or intentional misstatements, with respect to which the Per Claim Deductible would not apply) or the SMGI Representatives may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(b)(1) (other than the Seller Fundamental Representations or with respect to Fraud or intentional misstatements, with respect to which the Per Claim Deductible would not apply), SMGI or Sellers, as applicable, shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses (an “Indemnity Claim”) until such amount exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate (the “Per Claim Deductible”), and thereafter for all amounts relating to such Indemnity Claim from the first dollar of such Loss.

(b)           With respect to any Indemnity Claim as to which Sellers may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(1) (other than the Buyer Fundamental Representations or with respect to Fraud or intentional misstatements, for which the Deductible shall be $0) or the SMGI Representatives may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(b)(1) (other than the Seller Fundamental Representations or with respect to Fraud or intentional misstatements, for which the Deductible shall be $0), SMGI or Sellers, as applicable, and subject to the satisfaction of the Per Claim Deductible, shall not be liable for any Indemnity Claims until the amount of such Indemnity Claims exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), and thereafter only in such amount(s) in excess of the Deductible.

(c)           The aggregate amount of all Losses for which SMGI shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(1) (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations, Fraud or intentional misstatements, with respect to which the Cap shall not apply) and for which Sellers shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(1) (other than with respect to Seller Fundamental Representations, Fraud or intentional misstatements, with respect to which the Cap shall not apply) shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).

(d)           Payments by any Party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 7.2 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) in respect of any such Indemnity Claim. The Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(e)           In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnitee for (i) any punitive damages or (ii) any incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, the loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, in each case with respect to this clause (ii), that is not reasonably foreseeable.

(f)           Each Indemnitee shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(g)           For purposes of this Section 7, in determining (i) whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred and (ii) the amount of Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty, all qualifications to the representation or warranty by use of the word “material,” “materially” or other variations of the root word “material” or by a reference regarding the occurrence or non-occurrence or possible occurrence or non-occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or a “materially adverse effect” (a “Materiality Qualifier”) will be ignored and each such representation and warranty will be read and interpreted without regard to any such Materiality Qualifiers.

(h)           Sellers will not have any right to indemnification from any Company under any Company’s organizational documents, or any agreement between any Company and any Seller, for any Losses to which SMGI is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 or would be entitled but for the limits on indemnification set forth in this Section 7.3.

7.4           Notice of Indemnification. Promptly after the receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if an Indemnity Claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such Indemnity Claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Section 7, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party (a) shall notify the Indemnitee as to whether it disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder with respect to such Indemnity Claim or demand and (b) may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such Indemnity Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party covenants to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such Indemnity Claim or demand, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnifying Party will have adequate financial resources to defend against such Indemnity Claim or demand and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) such Indemnity Claim or demand does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, (iv) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to, or conduct of the defense of such Indemnity Claim or demand by the Indemnifying Party is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to be adverse to the Indemnitee’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential investors or other parties material to the conduct of its business); and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of such Indemnity Claim or demand actively and diligently. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of an Indemnity Claim or demand, the Indemnitee will control such defense. In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense. The party controlling any such Indemnity Claim or demand will not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Indemnity Claim or demand without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.5           Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Claims (excluding any Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief or Fraud on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with Section 2.3 or Section 8.14) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, Claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7. Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall limit any Person’s right to seek any remedy on account of Fraud by any Party hereto.

7.6           Indemnification Adjusts Purchase Price for Tax Purposes. Each Party will, including retroactively, treat indemnification payments under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

Section 8.              GENERAL PROVISIONS.

8.1           Disclosure Schedule. The Companies have prepared the disclosure schedule attached to this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”) and delivered it to Buyer on the date hereof. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged by sections to correspond to the sections of this Agreement. Any fact or item disclosed on any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other sections to which an appropriate cross reference is made or on all other sections where it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections of the Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and/or set forth other information required by this Agreement but shall not otherwise be interpreted as additional or independent representations or warranties. The inclusion of any item on the Disclosure Schedule shall not constitute an admission that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to such item, but rather is intended only to qualify certain representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or to set forth other information required by this Agreement.

(1)           to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, including pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (it being understood that each Seller will be deemed to have executed and delivered any such documents which Sellers’ Representative agrees to execute);

(b)           Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to any Seller for any act taken or omitted by it as permitted under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Transactions, except if such act is taken or omitted in bad faith or by willful misconduct. Sellers’ Representative will also be fully protected against Sellers, and will not be liable in any way, in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that he in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof). As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement, Sellers’ Representative will not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action on behalf of Sellers. Buyer may conclusively rely upon, without independent verification or investigation, all decisions made by Sellers’ Representative in connection with this Agreement, and will have no liability for any actions taken by Sellers’ Representative.

(c)           Sellers agree, severally but not jointly, to indemnify Sellers’ Representative for, and to hold Sellers’ Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, relating to or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of Sellers’ Representative, in connection with Sellers’ Representative’s carrying out its duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Transactions, including costs and expenses of successfully defending Sellers’ Representative against any Claim of liability with respect thereto. Sellers’ Representative may consult with counsel, accountants or experts of its own choice and will have full and complete authorization and will not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(d)           If Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx becomes unable to serve as Sellers’ Representative, such other Person or Persons as may be designated by Sellers or their successors will succeed as Sellers’ Representative. If no such successor is designated by Sellers within five Business Days after the withdrawal of Sellers’ Representative, Sellers’ Representative will designate such successor.

(e)           Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid by Xxxxxxx.
