CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Section 5.1 Confidentiality. The Sellers shall not at any time hereafter disclose to anyone, or use in competition with or to the detriment of the Company, Boxlight Group, or any Affiliate of Boxlight Group, any of the confidential, proprietary or secret information of the Company or its current or former customers and vendors; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any information that (a) currently is publicly available, (b) becomes publicly available after the date hereof through no fault of any Seller or any of their respective representatives or (c) was or is independently developed without the use or aid of any such confidential, proprietary or secret information of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, after the Closing, the Sellers may disclose such confidential, proprietary, or secret information to the extent required to do so by a Governmental Order, Applicable Law, subpoena, or other legal process (provided that the applicable Seller will promptly notify Boxlight Group in writing and prior to making any such disclosure, will engage in commercially reasonable efforts at Boxlight Group’s expense to avoid such disclosure and preserve the confidentiality of such information and will furnish only that portion of such information as it is advised by its counsel is legally required).

Section 5.2 Publicity. Neither Boxlight Group, on the one hand, nor any Seller, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or make any public statement regarding the Transactions without the prior written approval of the other, except as may be required by Applicable Law.

Section 5.3 Conduct of the Business Pending the Closing. From the date hereof until the Closing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by Boxlight Group (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Sellers shall, and shall cause the Company to: (a) conduct the business of the Company in the ordinary course of business; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve intact the current organization, business and franchise of the Company and to preserve the rights, franchises, goodwill and relationships of its employees, customers, lenders, suppliers, regulators and others having business relationships with the Company. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, except as consented to in writing by Boxlight Group (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Sellers shall not cause or permit the Company to take any action or omit from taking any action that would cause any of the changes, events or conditions described in Section 3.9 to occur. For the avoidance of doubt between the Effective Time and the Closing Date, the Company shall not incur any Indebtedness as set forth in items (a), (b), (e), (f) (g) and (h) in the definition of “Indebtedness,” and, except in the ordinary course of business, no other Indebtedness, including any Permitted Indebtedness.

Section 5.4 Maintenance of Books and Records. Each party hereto shall preserve (and Boxlight Group shall cause the Company to preserve), for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, all pre-Closing Date records possessed by or under the control of such party relating to the Company or the Business. During the six (6) year period following the Closing Date, upon any reasonable request from the other party hereto or its representatives, the party holding such records shall (a) provide to the requesting party or its representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit the requesting party or its representatives to make copies of such records, in each case at the cost of the requesting party; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.4 shall require any party to disclose information if such disclosure would, as determined in such party’s reasonable discretion, (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (ii) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which such party or any of its Affiliates is a party) or (iii) contravene any obligation of secrecy or confidentiality to any Governmental Entity.

Prior to the date hereof an Affiliate of PEI has, at the sole cost and expense of Sellers, obtained and paid in full, on behalf of the Company, for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current insurance carrier of PEI’s Affiliate with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the Company’s directors and officers.

Section 5.6 Restrictive Covenants. In order to induce Boxlight Group to enter into the Transactions, each Seller agrees to the applicable provisions of this Section 5.6, as set forth below:

(a) Non-Compete. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), each Seller covenants and agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, conduct, manage, operate, engage in, be employed by, render services to, be affiliated with, control or participate in the management, operation or control of, or have an ownership interest in, any business or enterprise in competition with the Business as it exists on the Closing Date anywhere in the Restricted Territory. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the covenants in Section 5.6(a) and Section (b)(i) shall not (i) prohibit ownership by any Seller of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of any company traded on any national securities exchange (so long as such Seller does not otherwise control such company), (ii) prohibit ownership by Management Seller or its owners of any equity in Boxlight Group or its Affiliates, (iii) prohibit the performance of any services for Boxlight Group or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, services under the Transition Services Agreement and the Distribution Agreements, or (iv) be applicable to, or deemed to restrict, EPOS Group A/S or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5.6, “Restricted Territory” means the following: (A) any state or territory within the United States of America in which the Company currently provides services, provided services during the twenty-four (24) months prior to the Closing Date or are currently contemplating providing services; (B) Canada; (C) Mexico; (D) the United Kingdom; and/or (E) Australia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Sellers under this Section 5.6(a) shall apply to the Manager of the Management Seller (“Holstebro”) for no more than twelve (12) months in the event Holstebro’s employment with the Company, Boxlight or the Parent is terminated without cause prior to the expiration of the Non-Compete Period. For avoidance of doubt, the Company, Boxlight and the Parent shall waive this Section 5.6(a) at the end of twelfth month following Holstebro’s termination of employment with the Company, Boxlight or the Parent in the event his employment is terminated without cause prior to the expiration of the Non-Compete Period.

(b) Non-Solicitation.

(i) Except as permitted in Section 5.6(a), during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), each Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, call on, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any past, present or known prospective customer, vendor, or other business relation of the Company for the provision of products or services related to the Business or in any other manner that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the business relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and its customers, vendors and other business relations, on the other hand.

(ii) During the Non-Solicitation Period, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, call on, solicit, or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Person who is an employee or independent contractor of the Company (or who had been an employee or independent contractor of the Company within twelve (12) months prior thereto) to leave the employ or service of the Company for any reason whatsoever, nor shall any Seller or its Affiliates offer or provide employment (whether such employment is for any Seller or any other business or enterprise), either on a full-time basis or part-time or consulting basis, to any such employee or independent contractor within six (6) months after their departure from the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6(b), good faith general solicitations for employees through advertisements in publications of general circulation, over the internet or through employment recruiters, agencies or search firms, which solicitations do not specifically target employees of the Company, shall not constitute violations of this Section 5.6(b).

(c) Non-Disparagement. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, make negative comments or otherwise disparage any of Boxlight Group, the Company or their respective owners, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, products or services; provided, that the foregoing shall not (i) in any way, restrict or impede Sellers from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or (ii) be violated by truthful statements made in connection with any legal process expressly including any dispute arising from the Transactions, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including depositions in connection with such proceedings) or statements made subject to attorney-client privilege.

(d) Acknowledgement. Each Seller acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 5.6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and Boxlight Group and its acquisition of the Interests. In addition to any other remedies that Boxlight Group or the Company may have for any breach or threat of breach by any Seller or its Affiliates of the provisions of this Section 5.6, Boxlight Group shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and Boxlight Group shall not be required to post any bond unless expressly required by Applicable Law. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5.6 are covenants independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereunder and the existence of any claim which any Seller may allege against Boxlight Group under any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement will not prevent the enforcement of these covenants. If any of the provisions contained in this Section 5.6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, then such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with the Applicable Law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction. Should any Seller breach any of its covenants contained in Section 5.6(a), the term of the covenant that is breached shall be extended for such Seller by the duration of the breach.

Section 5.7 Waiver of Conflict of Interest and Ownership of Attorney Client and Work Product Privilege. Boxlight Group and the Company, on behalf of themselves and the Company Releasing Parties, hereby waive any conflict of interest that may result from the joint representation by Xxxxxxxxx of the Company, the Company Releasing Parties, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, in connection with the Transactions. In the event of any dispute between Boxlight Group, the Company, the Company Releasing Parties, and Sellers, or any of their Affiliates in connection with the Transactions, Boxlight Group and the Company, on behalf of themselves and the Company Releasing Parties, hereby expressly and knowingly consent to Xxxxxxxxx representing any Seller or any of their Affiliates and declining to represent the Company and the Company Releasing Parties in such dispute. This consent constitutes a waiver of any conflict of interest claim against Xxxxxxxxx as a result of its representation of Sellers or any of their Affiliates as described herein. Boxlight Group, the Company, and the Company Releasing Parties further agree that, as to all communications among Xxxxxxxxx and any of the Company, the Company Releasing Parties, Sellers, or any of their Affiliates that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client and work product privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Sellers and their Affiliates and may be controlled by them and shall not pass to or be claimed by Boxlight Group, the Company or the Company Releasing Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a dispute arises between Boxlight Group, the Company or the Company Releasing Parties and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client or work product privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Xxxxxxxxx to such third party provided, however, that the Company may not waive such privileges without the prior written consent of PEI.

Section 5.8 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) The Governing Documents of the Company hereinafter shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability and indemnification than are set forth in the Governing Documents of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at or prior to the Closing were directors, managers, officers, agents or employees of the Company or who were otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Company shall advance, or cause to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Governing Documents or other applicable agreements.

(b) Neither the Boxlight Group nor the Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any actual or threatened Action or investigation in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by a Person hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Person from all liability arising out of such Action or investigation. Neither the Boxlight Group nor the Company shall have any obligation hereunder to any Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by Applicable Law.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.8, and each such Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8 and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification that any such Person may have by contact or otherwise. Neither Sellers nor any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.8 shall be required to grant access or furnish information to Boxlight Group, the Company, or anyone else to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney client or work product privilege.

Section 5.9 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Company to: (a) afford Boxlight Group and its representatives reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the Real Property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, contracts, agreements and other documents and data related to the Company; (b) furnish Boxlight Group and its representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Company as Boxlight Group or any of its representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the representatives of Sellers and the Company to cooperate with Boxlight Group in its investigation of the Company; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Sellers, under the supervision of Sellers’ personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company. All requests by Boxlight Group for access pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be submitted or directed exclusively to Xxxxxx Xxxx-Xxxxx or such other individuals as Sellers may designate in writing from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Sellers nor the Company shall be required to disclose any information to Boxlight Group if such disclosure would, in Sellers’ sole discretion: (i) cause significant competitive harm to Sellers, the Company and their respective businesses if the Transactions are not consummated; (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege; (iii) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement; or (iv) reveal bids received from third parties in connection with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement and any information and analysis (including financial analysis) relating to such bids. Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Sellers, which may be withheld for any reason, Boxlight Group shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Company and Boxlight Group shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the Real Property. Boxlight Group shall, and shall cause its representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall, and Sellers shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof.

Section 5.11 Confidentiality. Boxlight Group acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 5.11, information provided to Boxlight Group pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

Section 5.12 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 have been satisfied; provided, however, that if Boxlight Group has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then Boxlight Group shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and, further, shall have irrevocably waived its right to indemnification under Section 7.2 with respect to such matter.

Section 5.13 Required Financing. As disclosed on Schedule 4.4, the Boxlight Group and its other direct and indirect Subsidiaries intend to enter into a senior secured credit facility with DELALV CAYMAN C-2, LTD., or an Affiliate (the “New Senior Lender”) or alternative source of financing in order to (a) refinance existing secured Indebtedness and (b) provide working capital to enable Boxlight to pay the Estimated Base Purchase Price (the “Required Financing”). The Boxlight Group shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Required Financing on or before the Outside Closing Date.

Article VI

Section 6.1 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other similar U.S. based Taxes incurred in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers and 50% by Boxlight Group. Any foreign based Transfer Taxes shall be borne solely by the Sellers. The Sellers and the Boxlight Group shall cooperate with respect to filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required with respect to all such Taxes as necessary.

Section 6.2 Tax Returns. The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all income Tax Returns for the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Seller Prepared Tax Returns”).

At least thirty (30) days prior to the date (including extensions) on which any such Seller Prepared Tax Return is due, the Sellers shall submit such Seller Prepared Tax Return (together with, to the extent reasonably requested by Boxlight Group, supporting documentation) to Boxlight Group for its review and comment. If Boxlight Group objects to any item of any such Seller Prepared Tax Return, Boxlight Group shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Seller Prepared Tax Return notify the Sellers in writing of such objection, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any objection. The Sellers shall consider in good faith all reasonable changes requested by Boxlight Group. Boxlight Group shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date other than Seller Prepared Tax Returns and any Tax Returns for the Company with respect to any Straddle Periods (“Buyer Prepared Tax Returns”). All such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date (including extensions) on which any such Buyer Prepared Tax Return is due, Boxlight Group shall submit such Tax Return (together with, to the extent reasonably requested by the Sellers, supporting documentation) to the Sellers for its review and comment. If the Sellers objects to any item of any such Buyer Prepared Tax Return, the Sellers shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Buyer Prepared Tax Return notify Boxlight Group in writing of such objection, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any objection. Boxlight Group shall incorporate all reasonable changes requested by the Sellers. With respect to any periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date ( “Straddle Periods”), the portion of the Straddle Period that ends as of the Effective Time shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, be treated as a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the allocation of Taxes shall be determined on an interim closing of the books as of the Effective Time, except for ad valorem Taxes and other Taxes due without regard to income, employment or receipts which shall be prorated on a daily basis. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law (and only to such extent), any deductions attributable to any Company Transaction Expenses, repayment of Closing Date Debt, any employee bonuses, severance payments, debt prepayment fees, or capitalized debt costs, or any liabilities taken into account in the determination of Effective Date Net Working Capital shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the day prior to the Closing Date. Boxlight Group shall not take any action, or allow the Company to take any action, on the Closing Date that could increase the Sellers’ liability for Taxes, including the indemnification obligations of the Sellers with respect to Taxes pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters. After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Boxlight Group (or the Company) and the Sellers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such party) relating to the Company (including access to books, records and personnel) as is reasonably requested for the filing of all Tax Returns (including any extensions thereof), the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any Audit, and the prosecution or defense of any action related to any Tax Return. Boxlight Group (on behalf of itself and the Company) and the Sellers agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters and pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Company or the Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity.

Section 6.4 Tax Contests. Boxlight Group shall notify the Sellers within ten (10) days of either its receipt (a) of any notice of any Audit in respect of Taxes (“Tax Contest”) or (b) of a written notice threatening any Tax Contest, in either case relating in whole or in part to Taxes for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or for which any of the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification from the Sellers hereunder; provided, however, failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification except to the extent such failure prejudices the Sellers’s ability to defend the claim or dispute that is the subject of such notice or results in the expiration of the relevant time period set forth in Section 7.5. If the Sellers notifies Boxlight Group within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such Tax Contest that the Sellers intends to exercise its contest rights under this Section 6.4, the Sellers shall have the right to control such Tax Contest at its expense and to employ counsel of its choice; provided, however, that Boxlight Group shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to employ counsel of its choice.. Boxlight Group shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest jointly with the Sellers. With respect to a Tax Contest which the Sellers is entitled to control, the Sellers shall not settle, compromise, or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Boxlight Group (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Boxlight Group shall cause the Company to deliver to the Sellers any power of attorney reasonably required to allow the Sellers and its counsel to represent the Company in connection with any Tax Contest that the Sellers is entitled to control hereunder and shall provide the Sellers with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such Tax Contest. Boxlight Group shall control any other Tax Contests with respect to the Company, provided that the Sellers shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest jointly with Boxlight Group, and Boxlight Group shall not agree to settle any Tax liability or compromise any claim with respect to Taxes involving the Company, which settlement or compromise affects the liability for Taxes hereunder that is indemnifiable by the Sellers under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The parties each agree to consult with and to keep the other parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax Contest to the extent that such Tax Contest could affect a liability of such other parties (including indemnity obligations hereunder).

Section 6.5 Refunds. To the extent any determination of the Tax liability of any of the Company, whether as a result of an Audit, a claim for refund, the filing of an original or amended Tax Return, or otherwise, results in any refund or credit of Taxes paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of Effective Date Net Working Capital or by or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any carryback refund attributable to losses or credits that accrue in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date), Boxlight Group shall cause the Company to pay any such refund or credit, and any interest received thereon, net of any Taxes of Boxlight Group or the Company attributable to such refund or credit and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs of obtaining such refund or credit, to the Sellers within ten (10) days of receipt or realization thereof by the Company. To the extent requested by the Sellers, Boxlight Group will reasonably cooperate with Sellers in obtaining any such refund or credit, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns for periods ending before or on the Closing Date or refund claims.

Section 6.6 Tax Deductions. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 with respect to the preparation of Tax Returns, the parties hereto agree that the Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date to the extent supported by Applicable Law.

Section 6.7 Post-Closing Tax Actions. Without the prior written consent of the Sellers, none of the Boxlight Group or its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) shall (i) make, amend, change, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax election of Company with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) file, amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return of the Company with respect to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, (iii) initiate voluntary contact (including through any voluntary disclosure program) with any Tax authority in respect of Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company, or (v) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waives, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Boxlight Group or its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) shall make any entity classification election with respect to the Company pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Section 7701 of the Code with an effective date earlier than two days after the Closing Date.

Section 6.8 Conflict. To the extent any provisions of this Article VI regarding the process for dispute resolution with respect to Taxes conflict with the provisions regarding the process for dispute resolution generally in Article VII, the provisions of this Article VI shall control with respect to claims hereunder for Losses that are Tax-related and other disputes regarding Taxes hereunder.

Article VII

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Survival. Subject to the terms of Section 7.5, the parties hereto agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing as set forth in Section 7.5.

Section 7.2 Indemnification of Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, each Seller shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Indemnity Portion) indemnify Boxlight Group and its Affiliates (including the Company) and its and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, managers, members, employees, representatives and the respective successors of each of the foregoing (each, a “Boxlight Group Indemnified Party”), from and against Losses incurred by such Boxlight Group Indemnified Party after the Closing resulting from or arising out of:

(a) The breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by any Seller to Boxlight Group contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(b) The breach of any covenant or agreement of any Seller contained in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company to be performed at or prior to the Closing under this Agreement;

(c) Closing Date Debt, to the extent not deducted from the Final Base Purchase Price and paid to the respective lenders pursuant to Article II;

(d) Company Transaction Expenses, to the extent not deducted from the Final Base Purchase Price and paid to the respective payees pursuant to Article II; or

(e) (i) Taxes of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (ii) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local law; and (iii) Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date (other than any such agreement the primary subject matter of which is not Taxes) (“Pre-Closing Taxes”); provided, however, that Pre-Closing Taxes shall not include any (a) Taxes taken into account in the calculation of Effective Date Net Working Capital, (b) Taxes attributable to actions not in the ordinary course of business and not specifically contemplated by this Agreement taken by the Boxlight Group or the Company after the Closing, (c) Taxes attributable to a breach by the Boxlight Group or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) of the covenants described in Article VI.

Section 7.3 Indemnification of Seller Indemnified Parties. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Boxlight Group shall indemnify the Sellers, their Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, managers, members, employees, representatives, and the respective successors of each of the foregoing (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”), from and against Losses incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party after the Closing resulting from or arising out of:

(a) The breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Boxlight Group contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(b) The breach of any covenant or agreement of Boxlight Group contained in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company to be performed after the Closing under this Agreement; or

(c) All contractual and other obligations and liabilities of Sellers and their Affiliates arising as a result of the termination of the employment of any Designated TSA Employees who are not timely employed by Boxlight Group or the Company as contemplated in the Transition Services Agreement.

Section 7.4 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Third-Party Claims.

(i) If any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under this Article VII is asserted against such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a party hereto (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”) and the details thereof including an estimate of the claimed Losses and copies of all relevant pleadings, documents and information to the Indemnifying Party within a period of twenty (20) days following the assertion of the Third-Party Claim against the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or shall have resulted in the expiration of the relevant time period set forth in Section 7.5. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice (the “Third-Party Claim Response Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall give notice to the Indemnified Party, in writing, of whether the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim under this Article VII; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim if (i) such Third-Party Claim seeks, as its primary recourse (which may be in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages), an injunction or other equitable relief; (ii) the claimed Losses of such Third-Party Claim exceeds the cap applicable to such indemnity item, after taking into account all previous payments made to Boxlight Group or a Seller, as applicable, pursuant to this Article VII, by an amount that results in the Indemnifying Party’s maximum potential indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim being less than fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Third-Party Claim; (iii) such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (iv) a conflict on any significant issue exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in respect of the Third-Party Claim such that joint representation is precluded under applicable standards of professional conduct; or (v) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third-Party Claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it elects to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, then such defense will be conducted by the Indemnifying Party by all appropriate proceedings and shall be diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion or will be settled, at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that unless consented to in advance by the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any material settlement that requires a non-monetary commitment by the Indemnified Party or includes a payment by the Indemnified Party that will not be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate fully in such defense, including making available to the Indemnifying Party all books, records, and documents within the Indemnified Party’s control or that it can reasonably obtain relating to the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party, at its expense, may participate in, but not control, the defense of any Third-Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.4(a).

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party, within the Third-Party Claim Response Period (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to defend such Third-Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party shall (after giving written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense), compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any such compromise or settlement thereof or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim under this Article VII against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (the “Claim Notice”) and the details thereof, including an estimate of the claimed Losses and copies of all relevant information and documents, to the Indemnifying Party within a period of thirty (30) days following the discovery or receipt of notification of the claim by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or shall have resulted in the expiration of the time period set forth in Section 7.5. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party within a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Claim Notice by the Indemnifying Party (the “Claim Response Period”) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VII with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Claim Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Claim Response Period that it disputes such Claim Notice, the Losses of the Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of such claim in the amount finally determined will be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, and the Losses of the Indemnified Party to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Claim Response Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice of dispute, either party may resort to litigation in accordance with Section 7.4(c).

(c) Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute submitted to litigation pursuant to this Section 7.4(c) shall be finally and conclusively determined by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement agrees that the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and, for such purposes, consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the parties hereto (i) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (ii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than courts set forth above.

Section 7.5 Time Limits on Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.5, the representations and warranties of each of the parties hereto set forth in this Agreement and any Transaction Document shall survive for eighteen (18) months following Closing, at which time they shall expire and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization; Qualification; Title), 3.2 (Authorization), 3.4(a) (No Violation of Organizational Documents), 3.5(a) (Capitalization; Ownership), 3.6 (Subsidiaries); 3.25 (Brokers), and Sections 4.1 (Organization), and 4.2 (Authorization) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) and (b) the representations and warranties in Section 3.19 (Tax Matters) (the “Tax Representations”), shall survive until the one hundred eightieth (180^th) day after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including any extensions or tolling thereof) applicable thereto, at which time such representations and warranties shall expire and be of no further force and effect. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of 2 years, or for the period explicitly specified therein; provided that, covenants to be fully performed at or prior to the Closing shall expire on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding portion of this Section 7.5, any claim relating to the breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth herein that is asserted in writing pursuant to Section 7.4 prior to the applicable survival end date described above shall survive until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied in accordance with this Article VII. The liability of any Indemnifying Party with respect to claims timely made hereunder shall continue until the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor is determined and fully satisfied. The parties agree that this Section 7.5 is intended to modify the applicable statute of limitations period(s) with respect to claims hereunder.

Section 7.6 Additional Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a) until the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties have suffered aggregate Losses thereunder in excess of $300,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for their aggregate Losses; provided, however, that the Threshold shall not apply to Losses arising out of claims of fraud or willful misconduct or with respect to the falsity, breach or violation of a Fundamental Representation or a Tax Representation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Boxlight Group shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 7.3(a) until the Seller Indemnified Parties have suffered aggregate Losses thereunder in excess of the Threshold, in which event the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount by which their aggregate Losses exceed the Threshold; provided, however, that the Threshold shall not apply to Losses arising out of claims of fraud or willful misconduct or with respect to the falsity, breach or violation of a Fundamental Representation.

(b) Cap.

(i) As a result of Losses due to a breach of Section 7.2(a) but except for Losses arising out of or relating to fraud, willful misconduct or a breach or violation of a Fundamental Representation or a Tax Representation for which the Cap shall not apply, the Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Boxlight Group Indemnified Parties for any Losses under Section 7.2(a) in excess of $3,000,000 (the “Cap”).

(ii) As a result of Losses due to a breach of Section 7.2(a) but except for Losses arising out of or relating to fraud, willful misconduct or a breach or violation of a Fundamental Representation for which the Cap shall not apply, Boxlight Group shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses under Section 7.3(a) in excess of the Cap.

(i) The amount an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from the Indemnifying Party with respect to an item of Loss shall be reduced by and net of any recovery actually received by such Indemnified Party from any other Person with respect to such Loss (including insurance proceeds, indemnification rights, counterclaims, warranties, and subrogation actions). In the event that an insurance or other third party recovery is made by Boxlight Group, the Company, or any of their Affiliates with respect to any Losses for which any Boxlight Group Indemnified Party has been indemnified by the Sellers hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of such insurance or other third party recovery (net of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including increases in premiums resulting therefrom) directly related to pursuing such recoveries) shall be made promptly to the Sellers for the benefit of the Sellers. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against other Persons, other than employees, customers, resellers or suppliers of such Indemnified Party or indemnifying Party, as applicable, in respect of any Losses indemnified by such Indemnifying Party hereunder.

(ii) Any indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such obligation constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder.

(iii) For the purpose of determining (i) whether or not any breaches of representations and warranties made in this Agreement have occurred and (ii) Losses arising from any such breach, the representations and warranties shall not be deemed qualified by any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar reference contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty, in each case except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.7, Section 3.9(a), Sections 3.19 and 3.13 generally to the extent there are thresholds of materiality used to define categories of events or Contracts referred to therein, the Fundamental Representations and the Tax Representations.

(iv) For all purposes hereunder the terms “Losses” shall not include any indirect, remote, speculative, or punitive damages (other than indemnification for amounts payable to third parties in respect of any Third-Party Claim for indemnification hereunder is otherwise required); provided, in the case of an indemnification claim that is not a Third-Party Claim, such Losses must be reasonably foreseeable as of the Closing Date and will not include any claim for punitive or exemplary damages.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the maximum liability of any Seller shall not exceed such Seller’s Pro-Rata Indemnity Portion of the applicable claim for indemnification by Boxlight Group, provided that no such maximum shall exist with respect to indemnification claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, breach of covenants in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents by any such Seller; provided further, no Seller shall be liable for the breach by another Seller of such other Seller’s covenant in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

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

Section 7.7 Exclusive Remedies. Following the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article VII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies available to any party hereto with respect to any claim relating to this Agreement or the Transactions and the facts and circumstances relating and pertaining hereto (whether any such claim shall be made in contract, breach of warranty, tort or otherwise), other than for fraud and disputes required to be resolved pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.6; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the availability to any party hereto of injunctive and other equitable relief, including specific performance.

Section 7.8 Specific Performance. Subject at all times to the provisions of Section 9.2, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each other party to consummate the Transactions are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, in the event that a party violates or fails and refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement, then each other party may be without an adequate remedy at law. Each party agrees, therefore, that in the event it violates or fails and refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement, each other party may, in addition to any remedies hereunder for damages or other relief, institute and prosecute an action in any court specified in Section 7.4(c) to enforce specific performance of such covenant or agreement or seek any other equitable relief.

Section 7.9 Effect of Investigation. Seller shall not be liable under this Article VII for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement if any of the following Boxlight Group representatives had actual knowledge of the existence of any such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing: (a) Xxxxxxx Xxxx; (b) Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx; (c) Xxxx Xxxxx; and (e) Xxxx Xxxxxxx. For purposes of this Section 7.9 “actual knowledge” of the foregoing Persons shall include, without limitation, written or electronic correspondence sent to any of such individuals by any such Parent representative, and deemed inquiry of legal counsel to Parent for this Transaction.

Section 7.10 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any payment made after the Closing pursuant to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for all purposes unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws.

(a) by the mutual written consent of Sellers and Parent;

(b) by Parent by written notice to Sellers if:

(i) Boxlight Group is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Seller by the Outside Closing Date; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Closing Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Boxlight Group to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing ;

(i) Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Boxlight Group pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Boxlight Group by the Outside Closing Date; or

Section 10.16 Guaranty.

(a) Parent, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the due, punctual and complete performance and payment (and not merely collection) in full of all obligations and Liabilities of Boxlight and its Affiliates incurred under, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents (to the extent Parent is not already directly obligated hereunder or thereunder), as and when due and payable or required to be performed pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or the Transaction Documents, as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with their terms (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Parent acknowledges and agrees that each Seller shall be entitled to enforce directly against Parent any of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any other Person of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance of this guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise, and shall be joint and several obligations of Parent and Boxlight. Neither Seller shall be obligated to file any claim related to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event Boxlight becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding and the failure of either Seller to so file shall not affect Parent’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to either Seller hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Parent shall remain liable hereunder as if such payment had not been made.

(b) Parent further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by complete performance or payment of the amounts payable under this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements and the Transaction Documents, as applicable, and that the obligations of Parent hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of either Seller to assert any claim or demand or enforce any right or remedy against Boxlight or any other Person; (ii) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting Boxlight or any related party, or the dissolution, liquidation, merger, or winding up of any such entity; (iii) waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, as applicable, made in accordance with the terms thereof or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any change in corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Boxlight, or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, as applicable; (v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right that Parent may have against either Seller or any other entity; or (vi) the adequacy of any other means either Seller may have of obtaining payment related to the Guaranteed Obligations. Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(c) This guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Parent and shall inure to the benefit of each Seller and its respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that 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 in one transaction or a series of transactions all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.16.
