Effect on Diffusion Units and Merger Sub Membership Interests; Exchange of Documentation

Section 2.1 Effect on Diffusion Units and Merger Sub Membership Interests.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Diffusion, Merger Sub or the holder of any Diffusion Units (as defined below) or any membership interests of Merger Sub:

(i) Membership Interests of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding membership interest of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable membership interest of the Surviving Company at the Effective Time, and shall constitute the only outstanding membership interests of the Surviving Company. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing membership interests of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests of the Surviving Company into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii) Cancellation of Certain Diffusion Units. Each Membership Unit (as defined in the Existing Diffusion Operating Agreement) (each a “Diffusion Unit” and collectively the “Diffusion Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by Diffusion, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii) Conversion of Diffusion Units. Subject to Section 2.2(f), each Diffusion Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Diffusion Units to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock” and, such shares of Parent Common Stock into which each Diffusion Unit is converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii), together with any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.2(f), the “Per Unit Merger Consideration,” and in the aggregate, the “Merger Consideration”). All Diffusion Units converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii), when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each member of Diffusion holding documentation representing such Diffusion Unit that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented a membership interest in Diffusion shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive under this Section 2.1 and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Diffusion Units in accordance with Section 2.2(d), in each case without interest.

(iv) Conversion of Diffusion Convertible Notes. Subject to Section 2.2(f), with respect to each Diffusion Convertible Note issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of the Diffusion Convertible Notes to convert such Diffusion Convertible Notes into Diffusion Units pursuant to the terms thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Unit Merger Consideration in respect of each Diffusion Unit that such Diffusion Convertible Note would have otherwise been convertible into pursuant to its terms as of the Effective Time; provided, that, with respect to any such Merger Consideration comprised of Parent Common Stock, if, subsequent to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, distribution, combination, exchange of stock or similar transaction, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising such Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, distribution, combination, exchange of stock or similar transaction, and to provide the holders of Diffusion Convertible Notes the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. All Diffusion Convertible Notes converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iv), when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Diffusion Convertible Notes holding documentation representing such Diffusion Convertible Note that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented, among other things, the right to receive a certain number of membership interests in Diffusion shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive under this Section 2.1 and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Diffusion Convertible Notes in accordance with Section 2.2(d), in each case without interest.

(b) Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in Article V), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent or the number of outstanding Diffusion Units shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, distribution, combination, exchange of stock or similar transaction, the Per Share Number shall be equitably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, distribution, combination, exchange of stock or similar transaction, and to provide the holders of Diffusion Units the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Documentation.

(a) Letter of Transmittal. Prior to the Effective Time, Diffusion shall deliver to each holder of Diffusion Units and Diffusion Convertible Notes a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which (i) specifies that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Diffusion Units (or, in the case of holders of Diffusion Convertible Notes, Diffusion Units into which such Diffusion Convertible Notes are convertible) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates or other instruments evidencing such Diffusion Units or Diffusion Convertible Notes held by such holder (the “Certificates”), if any, to Parent, (ii) includes instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration associated with the Diffusion Units evidenced by the Certificates and (iii) provides for a release of any claims such holder may have against Parent, Diffusion, the Surviving Company or otherwise, in each case, in connection with the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, the Merger Consideration is in consideration for and based upon the expectation of the enforceability of the obligations contained in the Letters of Transmittal and each Former Diffusion Holder will be required to submit its Letter of Transmittal agreeing to the obligations therein as a condition to receiving the Merger Consideration (other than former holders of Diffusion Unit Options and holders of Diffusion Convertible Notes that do not exercise such options or convert such notes prior to the Effective Time).

(b) Exchange Fund. Parent shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to Diffusion at the Effective Time, evidence of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 (and/or certificates representing such shares, at Parent’s election). Parent shall make available from time to time after the Effective Time as necessary, cash in an amount sufficient to pay any dividends or distributions to which holders of Diffusion Units may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d). All such shares of Parent Common Stock, together with an amount of cash sufficient for payment in lieu of any such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(f), are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(c) Exchange Procedures. If a holder of Diffusion Units surrenders to Parent any Certificates, together with a properly executed Letter of Transmittal, prior to the Closing Date, and such holder is the record holder of such Certificate(s) as of the Closing Date, then the holder of such Certificate(s) shall be entitled to receive on the Closing Date (i) shares of Parent Common Stock representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in respect of the aggregate number of Diffusion Units previously represented by such Certificate(s) pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) and (ii) a check representing cash in lieu of fractional shares that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(d), and such Certificate(s) shall forthwith be canceled. If a holder of Diffusion Units surrenders to Parent any Certificates, together with a properly executed Letter of Transmittal at any time on or after the Closing Date, and such holder is the record holder of such Diffusion Units as of the Closing Date, then the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date in exchange therefor the consideration described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, and such Certificate(s) shall forthwith be canceled. If payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and delivered to Parent with all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and that the Person requesting such payment pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration that the holder of such Certificate has the right to receive in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 (and cash in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(d)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate that was not surrendered prior to the Effective Time (an “Unsurrendered Certificate,” and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(f), in each case, until the surrender of such Unsurrendered Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Unsurrendered Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, (x) the amount of any cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(f) and (y) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange for such Unsurrendered Certificate under Section 2.1 and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange for such Unsurrendered Certificate under Section 2.1.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Diffusion Units. The Parent Common Stock delivered and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any Diffusion Units shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Diffusion Units. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as members of Diffusion other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive under Section 2.1 and any dividends or other distributions that holders have the right to receive upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(d), without interest, and (ii) the transfer books of Diffusion shall be closed with respect to all Diffusion Units (and any other membership interests) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of Diffusion Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Diffusion Units are presented to the Surviving Company or Parent for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be delivered upon the conversion of Diffusion Units pursuant to Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Diffusion Units converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the OTCQX market on the Closing Date as reported at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/XXXX/xxxxx or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and Diffusion.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, Diffusion or Merger Sub shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund or the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash to be paid in accordance with this Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates as of the second anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent) of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Exemption from Registration. The parties agree and acknowledge that the shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are intended to be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Until the resale by the Former Diffusion Holders of their shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement has become registered (including pursuant to the Parent Registration contemplated by Section 6.11) under the Securities Act, or otherwise transferable pursuant to an exemption from such registration otherwise required thereunder, the shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the Former Diffusion Holders hereunder shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and, if certificated, shall bear the following legend (or if held in book entry form, will be noted with a similar restriction):

“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS.

(b) No Solicitation by Parent.

(i) Subject to subsections (ii) and (iv), during the Interim Period, Parent will not, nor will it authorize or permit any of Parent Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, except as otherwise provided below: (i) solicit, initiate or encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing any non-public information relating to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary), or induce or take any other action which would reasonably be expected to lead to the making, submission or announcement of, any proposal or inquiry that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or any negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or otherwise take any action to facilitate or induce any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal (including any Acquisition Proposal received prior to the date of this Agreement); (iii) approve, endorse or recommend an Acquisition Proposal or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract contemplating an Acquisition Proposal or requiring Parent or Merger Sub to abandon or terminate its obligations under this Agreement, or enter into any of the foregoing; or (iv) agree, resolve or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.5(b) to the contrary, in response to an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (and that did not result from a violation of Section 5.5(b)(i)), Parent may, upon a good faith determination by the Parent Board (after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law: (x) furnish information with respect to Parent to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives), provided that Parent and such Person first enter into a confidentiality agreement with confidentiality provisions that are not less restrictive to such Person than the provisions of the Diffusion Confidentiality Agreement are to Diffusion and that would not prohibit compliance by Parent with the provisions of this Section 5.5(b), provided further that all such information will have been previously provided to Diffusion; and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(iii) Parent will promptly, but in any event within twenty four (24) hours, notify Diffusion in writing if any proposal, offer or inquiry is received by, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, Parent in respect of any Acquisition Proposal.

(iv) Unless a Change in Diffusion Board Recommendation has occurred or this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article VIII, the Parent Board will not: (i) fail to make the Parent Board Recommendation; (ii) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Diffusion, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Diffusion, the Parent Board Recommendation; (iii) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal; or (iv) resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions (each such foregoing action or failure to act in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Change in Parent Board Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Board may take any of the actions set forth in Section 5.5(b)(iv)(A)-(B) below, provided that prior to taking any such action, Parent complies with Sections 5.5(b)(v) and 8.2 of this Agreement:

(A) effect a Change in Parent Board Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of Parent concludes in good faith: (A) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; and (B) after consultation with Parent’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(B) following such a Change in Parent Board Recommendation, terminate this Agreement for the purpose of causing Parent to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.5(b)(iv), the Parent Board will not be entitled to make a Change in Parent Board Recommendation as contemplated by Section 5.5(b)(iv)(A) or terminate this Agreement and enter into another acquisition agreement as contemplated by Section 5.5(b)(iv)(B) unless: (i) Parent has first provided prior written notice to Diffusion that it intends to take any of the foregoing actions (a “Parent Notice”), which Parent Notice will contain a description of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including a copy of the definitive acquisition agreement in the form to be entered into (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such Parent Notice will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a Change in Parent Board Recommendation); and (ii) Diffusion does not make, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Parent Notice, a proposal that would, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Board (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor), cause the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be; provided, however, that (x) any amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal or (y) with respect to any previous Change in Parent Board Recommendation, any material change in the principal stated rationale of the Parent Board for such previous Change in Parent Board Recommendation, will, in the case of either (x) or (y), require a new Parent Notice and a new three (3) Business Day period.

(vi) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement will prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from: (i) taking and disclosing to Parent’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to Parent’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that this Section 5.5(b)(vi) will not affect the obligations of Parent and the Parent Board and the rights of Diffusion under Section 5.5(b)(iv) and Section 5.5(b)(v) to the extent applicable to such disclosure (it being understood that neither any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, nor any accurate disclosure of factual information (other than Parent or the Parent Board taking any action set forth in Section 5.5(b)(iv) and Section 5.5(b)(v) of this Agreement) to Parent’s stockholders that is required to be made to such stockholders under applicable Law or in satisfaction of the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, will be deemed to be a Change in Parent Board Recommendation).

(d) Diffusion agrees and acknowledges that that the failure of the Closing Cash Condition to be satisfied will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement and, except in connection with a termination by Diffusion pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iv), Parent will not be required to reimburse Diffusion’s Transaction Expenses as a result of the failure of the Closing Cash Condition to be satisfied.

(e) Subject to the parties’ right to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.8 prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of Diffusion and Parent agree that (i) such party’s right to receive the reimbursement of Transaction Expenses as and when set forth in Section 5.6(b) or (c), will be the sole and exclusive remedy of such party against the other party, any of such other party’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future representatives, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, assignees or Affiliates (collectively, the “Other Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for any other breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (ii) none of the Other Parties will have any liability or obligation, in any such case (clause (i) or (ii)) relating to, arising out of or with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether relating to, arising out of or with respect to any matter(s)forming the basis for such termination or otherwise), other than with respect to fraud on behalf of such Other Party. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither party nor any of its respective Affiliates or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any proceeding, claim, suit or action against, or seek damages from, any of the Other Parties in contravention of the preceding sentence.

Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall require Parent, Merger Sub or Diffusion or any of Parent’s other Subsidiaries to sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct their business in a specified manner, or agree or proffer to sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct their business in a specified manner, or permit or agree to the sale, holding separate, licensing or other disposition of, any assets of Parent, Merger Sub, Diffusion or any of Parent’s other Subsidiaries, whether as a condition to obtaining any approval from, or to avoid potential litigation or administrative action by, a Governmental Entity.

Section 6.4 Indemnification and Directors and Officers Insurance.

(a) Indemnification of Parent Directors and Officers.

(i) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Parent (each, a “Parent Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Parent Certificate of Incorporation, the Existing Parent Bylaws, the indemnification agreements between Parent and each of its current or former directors and officers or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed on Section 6.4 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(ii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Parent Tail Policy”) for Parent and its current or former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Parent that shall provide Parent and such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Parent with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend for such policy an amount in excess of 300% of the annual aggregate premiums currently paid by Parent for such insurance (the “Parent Maximum Premium”). Parent shall maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Parent Maximum Premium, Parent will cause to be maintained the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Parent Maximum Premium.

(iii) The provisions of this Section 6.4(a) will survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Parent Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. Parent shall pay or cause to be paid (as incurred) all expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, that a Parent Indemnified Party may incur in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.4(a) (subject to reimbursement if the Parent Indemnified Party is subsequently determined not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.4(a)(i)).

(iv) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4(a).

(v) The current and former directors and officers of Parent are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4(a).

(b) Indemnification of Diffusion Directors and Officers.

(i) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Diffusion (each, a “Diffusion Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Existing Diffusion Articles and Existing Diffusion Operating Agreement or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed on Section 6.4 of the Diffusion Disclosure Schedule, shall be assumed by the Surviving Company in the Merger without any further action by any party, and shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(ii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Diffusion Tail Policy”) for Diffusion and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Diffusion, in a form reasonably acceptable to Diffusion, that shall provide Diffusion and such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Diffusion with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend for such policy an amount in excess of 300% of the annual aggregate premiums currently paid by Diffusion for such insurance (the “Diffusion Maximum Premium”). Parent shall maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Diffusion Maximum Premium, Parent will cause to be maintained the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Diffusion Maximum Premium.

(iii) The provisions of this Section 6.4(b) will survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. Parent shall pay or cause to be paid (as incurred) all expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, that a Diffusion Indemnified Party may incur in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.4(b) (subject to reimbursement if the Diffusion Indemnified Party is subsequently determined not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.4(b)(i)).

(c) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4(b).

(d) The current and former directors and officers of Diffusion are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4(b).

Section 6.5 Transaction Litigation. Parent shall give Diffusion the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against Parent and/or its directors relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Diffusion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of this paragraph, “participate” means that the non-litigating party will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation by the litigating party, consistent with the common interest of Parent and Diffusion in these matters and the applicable privileges and protections provided therein, and the non-litigating party may offer comments or suggestions with respect to the litigation, but will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over the litigation except for the settlement consent set forth above.

Parent shall take all necessary action to cause, effective at the Effective Time, (i) the size of its board of directors to consist of six members and (ii) the board of directors of Parent to be comprised of the individuals listed on Exhibit D (the “Reconstituted Parent Board”); provided that if any such individual is unable or unwilling to serve on the Reconstituted Parent Board immediately after the Effective Time, a replacement individual shall be selected by Diffusion.

(b) Governance Matters. Parent, Merger Sub and Diffusion shall take all actions necessary so that the matters set forth on Exhibit D occur on the Closing Date.

Section 6.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and Diffusion. Thereafter, neither Parent nor Diffusion, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or, with respect to Parent, the rules and regulations of the OTCQB marketplace or OTC Markets Group, Inc., as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party). Parent shall provide Diffusion the opportunity to review and comment prior to any publication or dissemination of any other press release or other public announcement or statement, except as required by applicable Law or, with respect to Parent, the rules and regulations of the OTCQB marketplace or OTC Markets Group, Inc. Parent and Diffusion shall cooperate to ensure that all such press releases or public announcements comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Section 6.8 Contingent Value Rights.

(a) Subject to this Section 6.8, Parent will have the right to issue, prior to the Closing Date, to the holders of CVR Eligible Securities (as defined in the CVR Agreement) a dividend of one contingent value right (a “CVR,” and collectively the “CVRs,”) with respect to each CVR Eligible Security then issued and outstanding held by such holder. Subject and pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement (which will not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of Diffusion), each CVR shall entitle the holder thereof to certain payments on the terms set forth therein.

(b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the issuance of the CVRs, Parent shall provide to Diffusion a draft of any additional documents related to the issuance of the CVRs to the holders of CVR Eligible Securities, including, but not limited to, the resolutions of the Parent Board authorizing and approving such issuance, and Parent agrees to consider in good faith any reasonable comments of, and make any reasonable revisions requested by, Diffusion with respect thereto.

(b) Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of such Registration Statement the registration under the Securities Act (including appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with the applicable regulations promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Registrable Securities that Parent has been so required to register; provided that Parent shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless Parent is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

(c) Registration Obligations and Procedures. Any registration pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be on such appropriate SEC Registration Statement form as shall be selected by Parent. Parent shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective for as long as is necessary for the Former Diffusion Holders to dispose of the Registrable Securities.

(d) Provision of Information.

(i) Any participation by the Former Diffusion Holders in a Parent Registration shall be in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution. Parent shall have sole discretion to select the underwriters for any such offering, if any.

(ii) In connection with any Parent Registration in which any Former Diffusion Holder includes Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.11 (any such Former Diffusion Holder, a “Participating Stockholder”), such Participating Stockholder agrees (A) to supply any information reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and/or any other documents relating to such registered offering and (B) to execute and deliver any agreements and instruments being executed by all holders on substantially the same terms reasonably requested by Parent to effectuate such registered offering, including underwriting agreements, custody agreements, lock-ups, “hold back” agreements pursuant to which such Participating Stockholder agrees not to sell or purchase any securities of Parent for the same period of time following the registered offering as is agreed to by the other participating holders, powers of attorney and questionnaires.

(iii) If Parent requests that the Former Diffusion Holders take any of the actions referred to in paragraph (ii) of this Section 6.11(e), the Former Diffusion Holders shall take such action promptly but in any event within three (3) Business Days following the date of such request. If such Former Diffusion Holder fails to take such action within such three (3) Business Day period, Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude any Registrable Securities held by such Former Diffusion Holder from any such Registration Statement. Furthermore, Parent agrees that it shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain any waivers to the restrictive sale and purchase provisions of any “hold back” agreement that are reasonably requested by a Former Diffusion Holder.

Section 6.12 Estimated Parent Net Cash Amount; Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Parent Net Cash Amount.

(i) Section 6.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth, in reasonable detail, Parent’s good faith estimate of the Parent Net Cash Amount and the components thereof, calculated as if the Closing had occurred on December 31, 2015. Parent and Diffusion agree that the Estimated Parent Net Cash Amount and Final Parent Net Cash Amount will each be calculated based on the same assumptions and methodologies used in preparing Section 6.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

(ii) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent will deliver to Diffusion a schedule (the “Estimated Net Cash Schedule”) that sets forth, in reasonable detail, Parent’s good faith estimate of the Parent Net Cash Amount and the components thereof, together with the work papers and back-up materials supporting the basis for such schedule.

(iii) Diffusion will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify Parent of any objections to the Estimated Net Cash Schedule at least one (1) Business Day prior to Closing and Parent and Diffusion will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections prior to Closing.

(iv) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Estimated Parent Net Cash Amount” means (1) Parent’s good faith estimate of the Parent Net Cash Amount as set forth on the Estimated Net Cash Schedule or (2) such other amount as agreed upon in writing by Parent and Diffusion prior to Closing.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within the thirty (30) day period immediately following the Closing Date, Parent will have the right to dispute (a “Dispute”) any part of the Estimated Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Independent Accountant with a copy to the Parent Representative. Any Dispute Notice will identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Estimated Net Cash Schedule and Parent’s good faith estimate of the final Parent Net Cash Amount and the components thereof (any such items, the “Disputed Items”), and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed work papers and back-up materials supporting the basis for such proposed revisions.

(ii) The Independent Accountant will be instructed to make a written determination with respect to the Disputed Items as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall determine, based solely on the Estimated Net Cash Schedule, the Dispute Notice and the work papers and back-up materials supporting the basis for each, and not by independent review, only the Disputed Items. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant shall be bound by the assumptions and methodologies used in preparing Section 6.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the definitions of Parent Net Cash Amount, Parent Working Capital Liability Amount, Parent Indebtedness Amount, Parent Other Liability Amount, Parent Bonus Payment Amount, Transaction Expenses and Transfer Taxes and the other applicable requirements of this Section 6.12 (and related definitions) and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. No party hereto nor the Parent Representative shall have any ex parte conversations or meetings with the Independent Accountant without the prior consent of the other party. Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, the Independent Accountant shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbiter.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Final Parent Net Cash Amount” means (1) in the event there is no Dispute, the Estimated Parent Net Cash Amount or (2) in the event there is a Dispute, the Parent Net Cash Amount as finally determined by the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 6.12(b)(iii).
