Disputes.
|
1. |
In the event the Seller in good faith disputes any Earnout Payment Calculation or the amount of Additional Earnout, then the Seller shall deliver a written notice of dispute to the Buyer setting forth in detail the nature of the dispute
within ten (10) days after receipt of the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation of Additional Earnout (“Earnout Dispute Notice”). The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute within thirty
(30) days after delivery of the Earnout Dispute Notice. During such thirty (30) day period, the Seller shall (on a confidential basis) have access to a copy of the records of the Buyer necessary to verify the Earnout Payment Calculation and
the calculation of Additional Earnout. The Buyer shall provide such copy within five (5) business days after receiving a request from the Seller. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period (the “Disputed
Items”), and the Seller or the Buyer so requests by notice in writing to the other, then, within five (5) Business Days following delivery of such request, the Seller and the Buyer shall engage Citrin Xxxxxxxxx & Company, LLP or
if Citrin Xxxxxxxxx & Company, LLP is unable or unwilling to accept such engagement (whether as a result of conflicts or
otherwise), a nationally-recognized accounting firm as is reasonably agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer (in any case, the “Arbitrator”) to resolve the Disputed Items. The Seller and the Buyer shall execute any engagement or
similar agreement reasonably requested by the Arbitrator. A single partner of the Arbitrator selected by the Arbitrator in accordance with its normal procedures shall act for the Arbitrator in connection with such engagement. The Seller
and the Buyer shall instruct the Arbitrator to render, within thirty (30) days following its engagement, a written determination and report (based solely on presentations by the Seller and the Buyer to the Arbitrator, and not by independent
review) as to the Disputed Items (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any item that is not set forth in a timely Objection Notice) and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation of Additional
Earnout. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to resolve any other issues that may arise in connection with this Agreement, including whether the Objection Notice was delivered within the Objection Period. In determining each Disputed
Item, the Arbitrator may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value, or lower than the lowest value, claimed for such item by either the Buyer in such Adjustment Report or the Seller in such Objection Notice. The
Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate with the Arbitrator in making its determination and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and disbursements of the Arbitrator shall
be paid by the Seller, on the one hand, and by the Buyer, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative difference between the amounts in dispute submitted to the Arbitrator and the Arbitrator’s
determination of such amounts. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall pay its own fees and expenses related to such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not an Arbitrator is engaged, (A) each item that was raised in a
timely Objection Notice but that is a not a Disputed Item shall have the value as was agreed to between the Seller and the Buyer, (B) each item that was not raised in a timely Objection Notice shall have the value set forth in the
Adjustment Report, and (C) each item that was raised in neither a timely Objection Notice nor an Adjustment Report shall have the value set forth in the Estimated Statement. In the event that the Seller fails to deliver the Earnout Dispute
Notice within the ten (10) day time period set forth in this subsection, the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation of Additional Earnout shall be deemed final and conclusive. In the event that the Seller does deliver an Earnout
Dispute Notice, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller on or before ten (10) days following the resolution of the dispute raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice, the Earnout Payment agreed to by the Parties or specified by the Arbitrator, as
applicable.
|

2. |
In the event that the Seller does not deliver an Earnout Dispute Notice, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller on or before sixty (60) days following the end of the Measurement Period covered by the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Earnout
Payment reflected thereon, if any and any Additional Earnout due.
|
7. |
Payments Subsequent to Closing. In addition to the payments by the Buyer to the Seller set forth above in
Section 2(b), the Buyer shall, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below, deliver to the Seller’s Representative (or cause to be made) the payments in clauses (i) and (ii):

to the Seller a schedule (the “Tax Allocations”) allocating the Purchase Price, (as the same may be adjusted as expressly provided for herein), including the Earnout Amount (if any), the Additional Earnout Amount (if any) and the
Assumed Liabilities, among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), and such allocation will be
conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes. The Buyer and the Seller shall each file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) in a manner consistent with such allocation (including the filing
of IRS Form 8594), unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the agreed upon allocation, including in any audit or examination by
any Tax authority, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Buyer and the Seller shall prepare and timely file such reports and information returns as may be required under applicable Laws to report the allocation of the Purchase
Price among the Purchases Assets in accordance with the Tax Allocations. Each Party agrees to notify the other party in the event that any Tax authority takes or proposes to take a position for Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the
allocation set forth in the Tax Allocations.

Audit Rights. The Buyer agrees to maintain accurate and complete records of all contracts, papers,
correspondence, accounts, invoices, data and/or other information in the Buyer’s possession relating to the sale of the Products and any related revenues and consumables until the second (2nd) anniversary after the completion of Buyer’s obligation to pay the Earnout Payment and the Additional Earnout under this Agreement. Upon no less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice and
not more than once calendar year, Buyer shall permit a certified public accounting firm selected by the Seller at the Seller’s sole expense to have access during normal business hours to such records of the Buyer as may be reasonably
necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the Earnout Payment and the Additional Earnout. The accounting firm selected by the Seller shall prepare a report stating whether the calculation of Earnout Payment and the Additional
Earnout were correct or whether and to what extent an overcharge or underpayment was made. The Seller shall provide the Buyer with the accounting firm’s written report within thirty (30) days of completion of such report. If the
accounting firm concludes that the Buyer underpaid the Additional Earnout to the Seller, then the Buyer shall pay the amount due within thirty (30) days after the day the Seller delivers the accounting firm’s written report to the Buyer.
If the accounting firm concludes that the Buyer overpaid the Additional Earnout to the Seller, then the Seller shall pay the amount due within thirty (30) days after the day the Seller delivers the accounting firm’s written report to the
Buyer. The Seller shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses that the underpayment of the Earnout Payment and the Additional Earnout by the Buyer for the period audited is greater than 5% from the amount actually
paid, in which case: (i) the Buyer shall pay the fees and expenses charged by the accounting firm; (ii) the Buyer shall pay interest on the amount of the underpayment at the rate of 10% per annum from the time when such underpayment was
originally due to the Seller; and (iii) thereafter the Seller shall be permitted to conduct the audit as set forth in this Section 2(i) no more than once each fiscal quarter.

The Seller, and each Person to whom the Shares may be transferred by the Seller, is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and will be acquiring the Shares for his, her or its own account, for
investment and not with a view to distribution or sale, or for the account of any other Person.
|

The Seller acknowledges that the Seller is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading of securities of public companies and that the Seller has been given the opportunity to seek any information and ask any questions of the
Buyer which the Seller deems necessary in order to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Shares. The Seller represents that the Seller has, based on such information as the Seller deemed adequate and appropriate,
made the Seller’s own independent investigation and evaluation of the financial condition of the Buyer and the value of the Common Stock without any reliance on the Buyer. The Seller acknowledges and understands that the Buyer and its
Affiliates possess material nonpublic information regarding the Buyer not known to the Seller that may impact the value of the Shares (the “Information”), and that the Buyer is not disclosing the Information to the Seller. The
Seller understands, based on the Seller’s experience, the disadvantage to which the Seller is subject due to the disparity of information between the Seller and the Buyer. Notwithstanding such disparity, the Seller has deemed it
appropriate to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. The Seller acknowledges that its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Shares and
no need to dispose of the Shares to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.

to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, prospects, or Liabilities of the Seller relating to the Business that have not been disclosed in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) or in
any Ancillary Agreement. Neither this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) nor any Ancillary Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading.

Representatives to, take such further actions and execute and deliver such further documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Party) as may be reasonably requested by any other Party to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to the terms hereof). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the covenants of further assurances provided under this Section 5(a) shall require the Seller, at Buyer’s cost and expense, to take any and all action reasonably requested by the Buyer after the Closing to (i)

Transactions (in each case within the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), other than any Action between the Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand), each other Party
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate with such contesting or defending Party or Affiliate thereof and its counsel in such defense or contest, including by making available its personnel and providing
such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with such contest or defense, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the
contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to the terms hereof).
|
3. |

control over the payment, settlement, or other disposition of, or any dispute involving, and shall conduct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to, all Assumed Liabilities.

Consents.
|
1. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (but without limiting the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein), to the extent that the purchase, assumption, or other
conveyance by the Seller to the Buyer of any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability hereunder would require Consent of any Governmental Authority or under any Contract, in each case which Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then for
so long as such Consent is not obtained or otherwise satisfied, such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability (each, a “Non‑Assignable Item”) shall be deemed to not have been purchased, assumed, or otherwise conveyed hereunder and shall
not constitute a Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, and instead shall constitute an Excluded Asset or an Excluded Liability, as applicable.
|
2. |
From and after the Closing, Seller shall, at Buyer’s cost and expense, use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Buyer in obtaining or otherwise satisfying all Consents required in connection with the Contemplated Transactions,
including by paying any reasonable costs of, or consideration to, any third party in order to obtain or otherwise satisfy such Consents. For so long as any such Consent is not obtained or otherwise satisfied, the Seller shall, at its sole
cost and expense, use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Buyer with substantially the same economic and operational benefits of any Non‑Assignable Item (that would, if the applicable Consent were obtained or otherwise satisfied,
constitute a Purchased Asset) as the Seller received prior to the Closing as a result of such Non‑Assignable Item (for example, by way of subleasing, sublicensing, or subcontracting the applicable Non‑Assignable Item).
|
36
3. |
If and when any Consent with respect to a Non‑Assignable Item is obtained or otherwise satisfied, such Non‑Assignable Item shall, without the requirement of any further action, automatically be deemed to have been purchased, assumed, or
otherwise conveyed hereunder, as applicable, and shall thereupon cease to constitute a Non‑Assignable Item, Excluded Asset, or Excluded Liability, and instead shall constitute a Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, as applicable, and the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements with respect to Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, shall be deemed to apply to such item. The Seller shall take such further
actions and execute, deliver, and file such further documents as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to evidence the foregoing, without the payment of additional consideration.

in the case of the Buyer, any Excluded Asset, and in the case of the Seller, any Purchased Asset), in each case that in accordance with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is owned by or owed to the other (each, a “Misdirected
Item”), then the Person receiving such Misdirected Item shall promptly upon becoming aware of such fact provide written notice to the Person entitled to such Misdirected Item and cooperate to deliver such Misdirected Item to such
entitled Person, without the payment of additional consideration. The Person initially receiving such Misdirected Item shall take such further actions and execute, deliver, and file such further documents as may be reasonably requested by
the entitled Person in connection with the foregoing, including the endorsement of any applicable checks.
|
2. |
To the extent that, at any time following the Closing, any Party receives any mail, email, or other written communication that, in the case of the Buyer on the one hand, relates primarily to Excluded Assets and/or Excluded Liabilities,
and in the case of the Seller on the other hand, relates primarily to Purchased Assets and/or Assumed Liabilities, then promptly upon becoming aware of such fact, such Party shall promptly forward such communication to the other.

The Seller and each Principal in exchange for the good and valuable consideration they are receiving from the Contemplated Transactions, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legal bound and

the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Seller and each Principal further agree that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any Action for equitable relief is that it contests the
existence of a breach or threatened breach of clause (i) above.

Contemplated Transactions. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction holds that the duration, scope, or area restrictions set forth in clause (i) above are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that
the maximum duration, scope, or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope, or area and that such court shall be permitted, and this Agreement shall automatically be revised, to modify the
restrictions set forth in clause (i) above to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law or equity.

Indemnifying Party Representative and the Indemnified Party Representative are not able to resolve such matter within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Indemnified Party Representative shall be entitled to submit such indemnification
claim to any court or authority of competent jurisdiction described in Section 9(h), which claim shall be adjudicated in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Section 7. With respect to any amount (or portion

then such Indemnified Party shall, within thirty (30) days after such non‑Indemnified Party asserts such claim, deliver written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party Representative (a “Third Party Claim Notice”)
(provided that the failure or delay to so notify such Indemnifying Party Representative shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and
materially prejudiced by such failure or delay). Thereafter, each Indemnified Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Indemnifying Party Representative, within five (5) Business Days after such Indemnified Party’s receipt
thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

Party Representative, to assume and thereafter conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim (with counsel of such Indemnifying Party Representative’s choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party
Representative), but only if and for so long as (1) such Indemnifying Party Representative acknowledges in a signed writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to be binding on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties and
irrevocable) that the Indemnifying Party(ies) shall be deemed to be liable for all Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim, (2) such Third Party Claim does not seek monetary damages in an amount in excess of the remaining amount for
which the Indemnifying Party(ies) could be liable by virtue of the limitations set forth in Section 7(f)(i)(B), Section 7(g)(B), or any other caps on indemnifiable amounts expressly set forth herein, (3) such Indemnifying
Party Representative is conducting and controlling such defense diligently and in good faith, (4) if both an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party are named (by impleader or otherwise) in such Third Party Claim, then there are no
material legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of an Indemnifying Party, (5) such Third Party Claim has not been brought by a Material Customer or Material Supplier, (6)
such Third Party Claim does not allege fraud or criminal activity, (7) such Third Party Claim does not seek equitable remedies, and (8) such Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would not reasonably be expected to result in a
material adverse effect as to an Indemnified Party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. If such Indemnifying Party Representative assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, then, regardless of the outcome of such Third Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party(ies) shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party Representative in connection with such defense. For so long as such Indemnifying Party Representative is conducting and controlling such
defense, (I) each Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in such defense with separate counsel of its choosing at its sole cost and expense (or at the Indemnifying Parties’ sole cost and expense if
there are any conflicts of interests with respect to such defense as between any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party), and (II) each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party Representative in such defense and
make available to such Indemnifying Party Representative and its Representatives, at the Indemnifying Party’s(ies’) sole cost and expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in or under such Indemnified Party’s
possession or control relating thereto as may be reasonably requested by such Indemnifying Party Representative. The Indemnifying Party Representative shall not be permitted to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party Representative, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld unless such judgment or settlement (w) involves the
admission of fraudulent or criminal wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party, (x) imposes equitable relief upon any Indemnified Party, (y) imposes any monetary damages on any Indemnified Party except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Parties are required under this Section 7 (after giving effect to all applicable limitations set forth herein), and have the funds available, to pay such damages in their entirety, or (z) does not contain a complete and
unconditional release of each applicable Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim.
|
45
3. |
Unless and until the Indemnifying Party Representative assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7(d)(ii)(B), each applicable Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim in any manner it
may reasonably deem appropriate (with counsel of such Indemnified Party’s choice), in which case each Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with such Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to such Indemnified Party and its
Representatives all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information in or under such Indemnifying Party’s possession or control relating thereto as may be reasonably requested by such Indemnified Party. The conduct of such defense
by such Indemnified Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party shall be permitted to consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

The Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent required under applicable Law, provided that,
notwithstanding the requirements under applicable Law, no Party shall be required to take any action that would be detrimental to it in any material respect, violate any Contract or applicable Law, seek recovery from its Customers,
suppliers, vendors, or other material business relations, or file any lawsuit to obtain recovery from any Person or under any insurance policy. All expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party in connection with its efforts to
mitigate Losses shall be deemed Losses.
|
2. |
In calculating the amount of Losses of any Indemnified Party, there shall be a deduction for the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates amounting to a mitigation of such
Losses (net of any related deductibles and actual and/or reasonably projected increases in premiums) (“Mitigating Payments”). Without duplication of the foregoing, in the event that any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates
actually receives any Mitigating Payments in respect of any Losses subsequent to the receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of such Losses, such Indemnified Party shall promptly make
appropriate refunds to the appropriate Indemnifying Party in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such subsequent Mitigating Payments, and (B) the amount of such indemnification payments received hereunder in respect
of such Losses.

arising by virtue of any such prior, subsequent, or similar default or breach. No failure by any Party to take any action with respect to any such default or breach shall constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to take any such action
