WHEREAS, AMMA is a publicly held corporation whose shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “AMMA Shares”), trade on the The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”);
WHEREAS, AMMA desires to purchase from each holder of SCWorx shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SCWorx Shares”), in exchange for newly issued AMMA Shares, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

(a) On the Closing Date, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, all of the holders of SCWorx Shares (the “SCWorx Stockholders”), shall sell, transfer and assign to AMMA, and AMMA agrees to acquire, all of the SCWorx Shares. As of the Closing Date, the SCWorx Shares shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding securities of SCWorx.

The Acquisition Shares will be issued to each respective SCWorx Stockholder in proportion to their respective pro rata ownership of the SCWorx Shares. If, on the Closing Date the closing price of AMMA Shares on the NASDAQ has decreased below the $.67 trading price used for the calculation of the Exchange Ratio, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted, pursuant to Exhibit B, and the number of Acquisition Shares issuable to SCWorx Stockholders shall be correspondingly increased to provide the SCWorx Stockholders with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement.
The sale of the SCWorx Shares and issuance of the Acquisition Shares contemplated hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Exchange.”
1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, the closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Zysman, Aharoni, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx & Worcester LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as AMMA and SCWorx may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to AMMA Shares with a record date after the Closing Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered SCWorx Stock Certificate with respect to the AMMA Shares that such holder has the right to receive in the Exchange until such holder surrenders such SCWorx Stock Certificate or delivers an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.3 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
(d) No Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any SCWorx Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any AMMA Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts required to be delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

3.9 Intellectual Property.
(a) AMMA, directly or through any of its Subsidiaries, owns, or has the right to use all AMMA IP Rights, except where any failure to own, or have the right to use, would not constitute a AMMA Material Adverse Effect.

AMMA is not bound by, and no AMMA IP Rights are subject to, any Contract containing any covenant or other contractual obligation that in any way limits or restricts the ability of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary to use, exploit, assert or enforce any AMMA IP Rights anywhere in the world, in each case as would materially limit the business of AMMA as currently conducted or planned to be conducted.
(e) Except as identified on Section 3.9(e) of the AMMA Disclosure Schedule, AMMA or one of its Subsidiaries solely owns all right, title, and interest to and in the AMMA Registered IP listed on (or required to be listed on) Section 3.9(b) of the AMMA Disclosure Schedule free and clear of any Encumbrances.

To the Knowledge of AMMA and its Subsidiaries, no current or former shareholder, officer, director, employee or contractor of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary has any claim, right (whether or not currently exercisable), or interest to or in any AMMA IP Rights.

(vi) To the Knowledge of AMMA and any AMMA Subsidiary, the AMMA IP Rights constitute all Intellectual Property necessary for AMMA and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business as currently conducted or planned to be conducted.
(f) The manufacture, marketing, license, sale or intended use of any product or service currently sold by AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary (i) does not violate or constitute a breach of any license or agreement between AMMA or its Subsidiaries and any third party, and, (ii) to the Knowledge of AMMA and its Subsidiaries, does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property right of any third party. To the Knowledge of AMMA and its Subsidiaries, no third party is infringing upon or misappropriating, or violating any license or agreement with AMMA or its Subsidiaries relating to, any AMMA IP Rights. There is no current or, to the Knowledge of AMMA, pending challenge, claim or Legal Proceeding (including opposition, interference or other proceeding in any patent or other government office) contesting the validity, enforceability, ownership or right to use, sell, license or dispose of any AMMA IP Rights, nor has AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary received any written notice asserting that the manufacture, marketing, license, sale or intended use of any product or service currently approved or sold or under preclinical or clinical development by AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary infringes or misappropriates or will infringe or misappropriate the rights of any other Person.
(g) Each item of AMMA IP Rights that is AMMA Registered IP that is solely owned by AMMA or one of its Subsidiaries is and at all times has been filed and maintained in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and all filings, payments and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such item of AMMA Registered IP in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline, except for any failure to perform any of the foregoing, individually or collectively, that would not constitute a AMMA Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Except as set forth on Section 3.9(j) of the AMMA Disclosure Schedule, all amounts payable by AMMA and any AMMA Subsidiary to all Persons involved in the research, development, conception or reduction to practice of any AMMA IP Rights have been paid in full.

5.3 AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting.
(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, AMMA shall (i) take all action necessary under applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of (pursuant to publication of the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting Notice in accordance with Section 5.1 above) and hold a meeting of the holders of AMMA Shares for the purpose of seeking approval of the following items, (A) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized AMMA Shares, (B) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, (C) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to effect the name change of AMMA, (D) to approve the purchase by AMMA of a “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years following the Closing, (E) the Contemplated Transactions, and (F) any other matter required, at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of AMMA and agreed to by SCWorx, in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the matters contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A)–(F), collectively, the “AMMA Stockholder Matters”) and (ii) mail to the AMMA Stockholders as of the record date established for shareholders’ meeting of AMMA, the Proxy Statement (such meeting, the “AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting”).
(b) AMMA agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) the AMMA Board of Directors shall recommend that the holders of AMMA Shares vote to approve the AMMA Stockholder Matters; (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the AMMA Board of Directors recommends that AMMA Stockholders vote to approve the AMMA Stockholder Matters (the “AMMA Board Recommendation”); (iii) the AMMA Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 5.1 above; and (iv) (A) the AMMA Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to SCWorx, and no resolution by the AMMA Board of Directors or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the AMMA Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to SCWorx shall be adopted or proposed and (B) the AMMA Board of Directors shall not recommend any Acquisition Transaction (collectively with any failure to make or include the recommendation as set forth in sub-sections (i) and (ii) above, an “AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).
55 |
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required AMMA Stockholder Vote, the AMMA Board of Directors may make a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if the AMMA Board of Directors has received an Acquisition Proposal that the AMMA Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable, good faith judgment, after consultation with AMMA’s outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Offer, the AMMA Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with AMMA’s outside legal counsel, that a failure to make AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that prior to AMMA taking any action permitted under this Section 5.3(c), AMMA must (1) promptly notify SCWorx, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days before making a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Offer, which notice shall state expressly that AMMA has received an Acquisition Proposal that the AMMA Board of Directors intends to declare a Superior Offer and that the AMMA Board of Directors intends to make a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and (2) attach to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Offer.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(c), AMMA’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.1 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the AMMA Board Recommendation.
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit AMMA or its Board of Directors from making any disclosure to the AMMA Stockholders if the AMMA Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required for the AMMA Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to the AMMA Stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the AMMA Board of Directors reaffirms the AMMA Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within five (5) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; and (ii) AMMA shall not effect a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(c).

AMMA shall provide SCWorx with evidence that such AMMA Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (or with respect to any health and welfare benefit plan with a monthly coverage period that irrevocable action to terminate such AMMA Employee Plan(s) at the end of such monthly period has been taken) effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date pursuant to resolutions of the AMMA Board of Directors. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to reasonable review and approval of SCWorx. AMMA also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such AMMA Employee Plan(s) as SCWorx may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the AMMA Employee Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then AMMA shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to SCWorx no later than 14 calendar days prior to the Closing Date.
(e) This Section 5.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement.

(c) AMMA shall purchase a “tail” insurance policy for AMMA’s officers and directors with an effective date as of the Closing Date, which shall remain effective for seven years following the Closing Date, with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing the same terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the AMMA officers and directors than the Existing AMMA D&O Policies.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, bylaw, certificate of incorporation or agreement. The obligations of AMMA under this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the Exchange and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.8 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.8 applies, as well as their heirs and representatives, shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.8).
(f) In the event AMMA or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or Exchange, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of AMMA shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

61 |
5.15 Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Legal Requirement becomes or is deemed to applicable to AMMA, SCWorx, or the Contemplated Transactions, then each of AMMA, SCWorx and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Legal Requirement inapplicable to the foregoing.

(a) Survival. All representations and warranties of SCWorx contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and will remain operative and in full force and effect for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.1, from and after the Closing, the SCWorx Stockholders listed on Appendix B (the “Majority SCWorx Stockholders”), on a joint and several basis, agree to indemnify and hold harmless AMMA, its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates (each, an “AMMA Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, payments, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees (collectively, “Losses”) related to or arising out of any breach by SCWorx of any representation or warranty given or made by SCWorx in this Agreement or any other document executed by it pursuant hereto any and all actions, suits, claims or legal, administrative, arbitrative, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against any AMMA Indemnified Party arising out of such breach. Any Losses payable hereunder by the Majority SCWorx Stockholders shall, at the option of the Majority SCWorx Stockholders, be paid exclusively in such number of shares of AMMA Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of Losses divided by (ii) the closing price of AMMA Shares used for the calculation of the Exchange Ratio (per Exhibit B).

Except for claims for Losses based on fraud, no claim for indemnification of an AMMA Indemnified Party under Section 10.1(a) may be made by an AMMA Indemnified Party against the Majority SCWorx Stockholders unless and until the aggregate of all such claims exceeds a threshold of $50,000, after which the AMMA Indemnified Party may only recover its Losses represented by such claims in excess of such threshold. The maximum aggregate liability of the Majority SCWorx Stockholders to the AMMA Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of any claims under this Section 10.1 (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations or warranties have occurred), any representation or warranty of SCWorx shall not be deemed qualified by any references to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.
71 |
10.2 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except as provided in Section 10.1, the representations and warranties of SCWorx, AMMA and the SCWorx Stockholders contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing Date, and only the covenants that by their terms survive the Closing Date and this Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing Date.
10.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective Boards of Directors of SCWorx and AMMA at any time (whether before or after obtaining the Required AMMA Stockholder Vote or the Required SCWorx Stockholder Vote); provided, however, that after any such adoption and approval of this Agreement by a Party’s shareholders, no amendment shall be made, which by applicable Legal Requirement requires further approval of the shareholders of such Party, without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of SCWorx and AMMA.
10.4 Waiver.
(a) No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.
(b) No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
10.5 Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all Parties by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10.6 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

72 |

In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of the Parties under this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.
10.8 Assignability; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of each other Party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such Party without each other Party’s prior written consent shall be void and of no effect. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than (a) the Parties and (b) the D&O Indemnified Parties to the extent of their respective rights pursuant to Section 5.8) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
