1.2 Interpretation. Each Schedule in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to qualify only (i) the corresponding Section of this Agreement or (ii) any other Section of this Agreement to which such disclosure makes express reference or to which the relevance of such document is reasonably apparent on its face. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made by any Person unless the disclosure identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). Disclosure of any fact or item in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be considered an admission by the Seller Parties that such item or fact (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, that such item or fact will in fact exceed any applicable threshold limitation set forth in the Agreement and shall not be construed as an admission by the Seller Parties of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including to any intellectual property rights) or any Applicable Law of any Governmental Entity, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under the Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The text of all schedules is incorporated herein by reference.

No assumption by Buyer of any of the Assumed Liabilities shall relieve or be deemed to relieve any Seller Party from any Liability under any Transaction Document with respect to any representations or warranties or covenants made by the Seller Parties to Buyer. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall have no liability for, any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates, or any of its predecessors in interest, of any kind, character or description whatsoever (“Retained Liabilities”), all of which shall be retained by and continue to be Liabilities of Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable. Retained Liabilities include, but are not limited to, each Liability based in whole or in part on events or conditions occurring or existing in connection with, or arising out of, Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or the Business as operated prior to the Closing Date, or the manufacture, ownership, possession, use, operation or sale or other disposition prior to the Closing Date of any of the Acquired Assets (or any other assets, properties, rights or interests associated, at any time prior to the Closing Date, with the Business).

2.4 Nontransferable Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, to the extent that any of the Assumed Contracts, or any other Acquired Assets are not assignable or otherwise transferable to Buyer without the consent, approval or waiver of another party thereto or any third party (including any Governmental Authority), or if such assignment or transfer would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any applicable Legal Requirement or agreement with any third party, then neither this Agreement nor such Transaction Document shall constitute an assignment or transfer (or an attempted assignment or transfer) thereof until such consent, approval or waiver of such party or parties has been duly obtained in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion. With respect to the assignment or transfer of any Assumed Contract to Buyer that requires the consent, approval or waiver of another party thereto or any third party, Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent, approval or waiver of such other party or parties or such third party to such assignment or transfer as promptly as practicable. Until such consents, approvals and waivers referred to in this Section are obtained by Seller, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (as applicable) to (a) provide to Buyer the financial and business benefits of such Assumed Contract, and (b) enforce, for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates arising from any such Assumed Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Assumed Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of Buyer).

2.5 Closing Consideration.

(a) In order to determine the Closing Inventory Amount, representatives of Seller and Buyer shall take a physical inventory of the Inventory as of the Closing Date that are included in the Acquired Assets (the “Physical Inventory”). The Physical Inventory will be recorded in duplicate books, each of which the representatives of Seller and Buyer shall sign. The Inventory shall be valued at the Seller’s latest invoice cost, net of discounts and slow-moving and obsolete Inventory as agreed by Seller and Buyer. The Closing Inventory Amount shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller will agree upon a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the calculation of a good faith estimate of the Closing Date Purchase Price (the “Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price”), including all components thereof. At the Closing, Buyer will pay in cash:

(i) the Closing Indebtedness payable to the holders of Closing Indebtedness designated in the payoff letters delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(iv);

(ii) the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent and released to the proper Party or Parties upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) to Seller, the Closing Date Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions delivered to Buyer no less than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer Parent shall issue to Seller a common stock purchase warrant, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Warrant”), to purchase Twenty-two Million (22,000,000) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common shares, no par value per share, of Buyer Parent (the “Buyer Parent Common Shares”). The Warrant and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Buyer Securities.” The Warrant shall be exercisable at any time on or prior to the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the date of the Closing Date and shall have an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of the Buyer Parent Common Shares, either on the trading day immediate prior to the Closing Date (if the Closing occurs prior to the close of trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on the Closing Date) or on the Closing Date (if the Closing occurs after the closing of trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on the Closing Date).

2.6 Determination of the Final Closing Purchase Price Closing Payment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”) consisting of a proposed calculation in reasonable detail of the Closing Date Purchase Price, including all components thereof (the “Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price”).

(b) If Seller disputes any amounts as shown on the Proposed Final Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Proposed Final Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of such amounts and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different amounts. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, the Proposed Final Closing Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer shall be deemed to be the final closing statement (the “Final Closing Statement”). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice. If the Parties resolve such differences, the Proposed Final Closing Statement agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller do not reach a final resolution on the Final Closing Statement within thirty (30) days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice, unless Buyer and Seller mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences, pursuant to an engagement agreement among Buyer, Seller and the Neutral Accountant (which Buyer and Seller agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. The Neutral Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties (the “Disputed Items”), solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Buyer, Seller and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Final Closing Statement; and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between Buyer and Seller and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Final Closing Statement within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of the Parties (i.e., not on an independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included herein. The Closing Statement determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error, and shall be considered an arbitral award for all purposes. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant will be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate dollar amount of the Disputed Items that are unsuccessfully disputed by each Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all of the Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Accountant. Nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of the Disputed Items; or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Final Closing Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Buyer and Seller.

(c) If the Closing Date Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6(b) (the “Final Closing Date Purchase Price”) exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price, then (i) Buyer shall, promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after the final determination thereof, pay such excess amount to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller and (ii) Buyer and Seller shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to Seller.

(d) If the Closing Date Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6(b) is less than the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay from the Adjustment Escrow Amount the amount of such shortfall to Buyer, and any balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount remaining after such payment to Buyer, to Seller. If such shortfall is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then Seller shall, promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after the final determination of the Final Closing Date Purchase Price, pay the remaining balance thereof to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer.

(e) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Purchase Price by the Parties, except as otherwise required by any Legal Requirement.

2.7 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Buyer on the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), or at such other place and time as the Parties shall mutually agree (including by means of electronic transmission of executed documents). The date of the Closing is herein called the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be deemed effective as of 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Closing Date.

Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the Business or the ownership of the Acquired Assets makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller and each Principal Member, and no other proceeding (including by their respective direct or indirect equityholders) on the part of Seller or each Principal Member is necessary to authorize Seller’s or such Principal Member’s execution of this Agreement or Seller’s or such principal Member’s consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and each Principal Member and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of Seller and such Principal Member, enforceable against Seller and such Principal Member in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the “General Enforceability Exceptions”)

8.4 Claims Procedures.

(a) If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this ARTICLE VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the Party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) of such claims; provided that the failure to deliver a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Responsible Party shall have the right to be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, provided that the Responsible Party notifies the Indemnified Party of its intent to exercise such right within 15 days after receipt of such Claim Notice, and upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Responsible Party in connection therewith; provided, that the Responsible Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim if (i) the Responsible Party fails to conduct the defense of the claim actively and diligently, (ii) any applicable limitation herein would serve to limit the obligation of the Responsible Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Loss which would be reasonably anticipated to result from such claim were it successful or (iii) the Responsible Party is not reasonably anticipated to have the financial wherewithal to indemnify the Indemnified Party if the claim is successful. If the Responsible Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, then (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effected by the Responsible Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of a Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Responsible Party; and (C) the Indemnified Party has no liability with respect to such compromise or settlement. The Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party. So long as the Responsible Party is reasonably contesting any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such Third Party Claim (whether or not appropriate notice has been given by Indemnified Party), provided that in such event it shall irrevocably waive any and all rights (including any rights of its Affiliates) to indemnification for such Third Party Claim unless the Responsible Party shall have expressly consented in advance in writing to such payment or settlement. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 15 days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Claim Notice hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim described in such Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to (x) contest such Third Party Claim, and (y) with the prior written consent of the Responsible Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle such Third Party Claim, and the Responsible Party shall have the right at any time to participate (including through counsel chosen by the Responsible Party) in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not waive any right to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement by contesting or settling any claim in accordance with the previous sentence. The Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Responsible Party will not be entitled to assume (or retain, as applicable) control of such defense if the Indemnified Party concludes in good faith that (i) in light of any actual or potential conflict of interest, it would be inappropriate for legal counsel selected by the Responsible Party to represent the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Responsible Party has failed to vigorously and continuously prosecute or defend such claim in good faith or fails to begin such prosecution or defense in a timely manner.

(c) All of the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided, however, that this Section 5.3(c) shall not apply to any pending or anticipated adversarial, judicial or arbitral dispute or proceeding between the Parties to this Agreement, which shall be governed by the applicable rules of discovery, evidence or procedure. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification hereunder, the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges of the other Party.

(d) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by delivery of a Claim Notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and, unless contested in accordance with this Agreement, shall be paid promptly after such notice. The party from whom indemnification is sought will have a period of fifteen (15) days within which to respond in writing to such direct claim.

(e) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts with respect to any information shared pursuant to this Section 8.4 to preserve attorney-client privilege.

8.5 Payment of Claim. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, in order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of any Seller Party with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, a Buyer Indemnitee will have the right to recover indemnifiable Losses that have been incurred (i) first, from the Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, from Seller and the Principal Members within three business days after demand is made by a Buyer Indemnitee.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, , except for a Party’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief under Section 9.11, as provided in Section 2.6 or with respect to any fraud of any Party, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to any and all Losses arising in connection with the representation, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

8.7 Calculation of Loss. As it relates to indemnification claims under this ARTICLE VIII, for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and calculating the amount of Losses incurred by a party seeking indemnification hereunder arising out of or resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, references to “Material Adverse Effect” or materiality (or other similar terms) shall be disregarded.

9.9 No Strict Construction. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the Parties, and will not be strictly construed against any Party.

No limitation herein shall restrict any Party from seeking and obtaining equitable relief.
