(f) The remaining $700,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Deferred Portion”) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller over a period of two (2) years following the Closing in equal quarterly installments of $87,500 each, with the first such payment being made on October 31, 2018, and the last such payment being made on July 31, 2020; provided, however, that, upon a Change in Control of the Company after the Closing (and not as a result of the Closing), the Deferred Portion shall become immediately due and payable.

2.2 Adjustment for Outstanding Indebtedness. The Cash Portion shall be decreased by the amount of any outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company existing as of the Closing Date and the deducted amount shall be utilized to pay off such outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money at the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, indebtedness for borrowed money specifically includes the approximately $60,000 in liabilities that are guaranteed by the Seller and described in Section 6.4 of the Disclosure Schedule and specifically excludes accounts payable of the Company incurred in the ordinary course of business.

2.3 Closing. The consummation of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) will take place by the reciprocal delivery of closing documents by electronic mail, regular mail, fax or any other means mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto on a date that is no later than two (2) Business Days immediately following the day on which the last of the conditions to closing contained in Article VII (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) is satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement or at such other location or on such other date as the Buyer and the Company may mutually determine (the date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have an amount in cash in its corporate bank account at the Closing that is equal to at least $200,000 in the aggregate.

6.5 Ongoing Operations and Employment Benefits Matters. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, (a) the Company shall provide the current or equivalent health insurance plan of the Company to the Seller and his spouse on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plan and consistent with Section 7.1(j) of this Agreement, and (b) the Buyer and the Company will use their reasonable best efforts to operate the Company’s business in the geographic area where the Company has operated its business heretofore and to employ for that purpose the current employees of the Company other than the Seller. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, the Company shall automatically forward all emails sent to the corporate email address xxxxxxxxx@xx-xx.xxx to the following personal email address: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.

6.6 Notice of Developments. The Seller and the Company will give prompt written notice to the Buyer of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to cause a breach of any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein. The Buyer will give prompt written notice to the Seller and the Company of any event that could reasonably be expected to cause a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein or could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.6 will not limit, expand or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder (if any) to the party receiving such notice.

6.7 No Solicitation.

(a) The Seller and the Company will, and will cause each of their Representatives to, cease immediately any existing discussions regarding a Transaction Proposal.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, without the prior consent of the Buyer, neither the Seller nor the Company will, nor will they authorize or permit any of their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly through another Person to, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action designed to facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers from any Person that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, a Transaction Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations (including by way of furnishing information) regarding any Transaction Proposal or (iii) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

(c) In addition, the Seller shall immediately communicate to the Buyer the terms of any Transaction Proposal received by the Seller or the Company, or any of their Representatives.

6.8 Covenant not to Compete. For a period of five years from and after the Closing, or, if sooner, until any failure by the Buyer to satisfy its obligations under Article II hereof (the “Noncompetition Period”), the Seller shall not engage directly or indirectly in any business that is competitive with the current business of the Company (the “Business”) in any geographic area in which the Business is conducted; provided, however, that no owner of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall be deemed to engage solely by reason thereof in any of its businesses. During the Noncompetition Period, the Seller shall not induce or attempt to induce any customer, or supplier of the Buyer or any affiliate of the Buyer to terminate its relationship with the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer or to enter into any business relationship to provide or purchase the same or substantially the same services as are provided to or purchased from the Business which might harm the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer. During the Noncompetition Period, the Seller shall not, on behalf of any entity other than the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer, hire or retain, or attempt to hire or retain, in any capacity any Person who is, or was at any time during the preceding twelve (12) months, an employee or officer of the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.8 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

6.9 Financial Information. The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer and the Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firm in order to enable the Buyer to create audited financial statements prepared in accordance with the GAAP for the two full fiscal years preceding the Closing Date, by making available the Seller’s records as they are maintained in the ordinary course of business and answering reasonable questions.

6.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Seller, the Company and the Buyer will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the Acquisition in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as practicable.

6.11 Collection of Closing Receivables. If and to the extent requested by the Buyer, the Seller shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to facilitate the collection of any Closing Receivables.

6.12 Public Reporting and Restrictive Legend. The Buyer shall, until the one year anniversary of the date of the Share Issuance, during any period in which the Buyer (a) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available, upon request of the Seller, in connection with any sale thereof, the information required by Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act, and (b) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, make all filings required thereby in a timely manner. On the one year anniversary of the Share Issuance, or, if earlier, upon the delivery by the Seller of an opinion of counsel that the New Shares are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, Buyer shall, at the request of the Seller, remove from any certificate representing the New Shares any legend restricting their transfer.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; WAIVER

8.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) by either the Buyer or the Seller if any Governmental Entity will have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) by either the Buyer or the Seller if the Closing does not occur on or before July 31, 2018; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) will not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to occur by such time;

(d) by the Buyer if the Seller has breached his representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by him in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) would not be satisfied; or

(e) by the Seller if the Buyer has breached its representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) would not be satisfied.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Seller or the Buyer as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability (other than with respect to any suit for breach of this Agreement) on the part of the Buyer, the Company or the Seller (or any stockholder, agent, consultant or Representative of any such party); provided, that the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.11, 10.14 and this Section 8.2 will survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.1.

8.3 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Buyer, the Company and the Seller.

8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the Seller and the Company or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of the Seller or any conditions to his own obligations.

At any time prior to the Closing, the Seller and the Company, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the Buyer or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of the Buyer or any conditions to their own obligations. Any agreement on the part of the Seller and the Company to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Seller and the Company. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights. The waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.3, and 4.19 of this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 4.6 of this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then notwithstanding any statement herein to the contrary, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim is finally resolved. Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. To avoid any doubt, the parties agree that the time limitations herein limit the time in which a claim may be brought even though such time limits may be less than those otherwise afforded under applicable statutes of limitations. In the event that a claim has been brought within such time periods, the running of such time prior to the final adjudication of such claim shall not time bar the continuation of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and acknowledges and agrees that neither the Seller nor the Company has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article III hereof, and that it is not relying and has not relied on any presentation or warranty whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except fort the representations and warranties in such Article III.

9.2 Indemnification by the Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, deficiencies, demands, claims, Actions, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, interest, fines, penalties and damages (including fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants and costs of investigation) (individually and collectively, the “Losses”; provided, however, that the Losses shall not include consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, except in the case of fraud or to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Entity, suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller contained in Article III or IV of this Agreement or (b) the failure of the Seller to perform any of his covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Seller and to the extent applicable, the Seller’s Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement or (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Limitations. In no event shall the indemnification obligations provided for in Section 9.2(a) above exceed the sum of (a) the cash value of the Seller Policies and (b) to the extent actually paid to the Seller, the Deposit, the Cash Portion, the Closing Receivables Payment and the Deferred Portion.

9.5 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has been advised by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.

(b) In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or judgment would require the Indemnifying Party to pay any amount. The Indemnifying Party may enter into a settlement or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party so long as (i) such settlement or judgment involves monetary damages only and (ii) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such Third-Party Claim unconditionally release all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such claim; otherwise the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any Third-Party Claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.6 Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.6 shall be deemed to extend the period for which the Seller’s representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.

9.7 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims for specific performance or other equitable remedies and for claims based upon fraud, in respect of any breach of any representations, warranties, covenant agreements or obligations required to be performed on or after Closing pursuant to this Agreement, this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Losses of any Indemnified Party and each party waives all statutory common law and other claims with respect thereto, other than claims for indemnification under this Article IX from and after the Closing with respect to breaches of this Agreement.

9.8 Payments. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon the determination in accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

9.9 Recoupment under Deferred Portion.

(a) If the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim in accordance with this Article IX, Buyer shall have the right to set-off the amount of such claim against the Deferred Portion.

(b) If the Buyer intends to set-off any amount hereunder, the Buyer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off Notice”). If, within ten (10) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of such Seller’s dispute with Buyer’s right to make such set-off, Buyer and such Seller (and their respective representatives and advisors) shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within five (5) days to attempt to resolve their dispute. If such dispute remains unresolved despite Buyer’s good faith attempt to meet with the Seller and resolve such dispute, Buyer may set-off under this Section 9.9 only (a) with respect to those indemnification claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below), (b) as described in the first sentence of Section 9.9(c) with the prior written consent of the Seller.

(c) In the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against Seller made in good faith pursuant to this Article IX, and the liability for and amount of Losses therefore, Buyer may withhold any payments of the Deferred Portion up to the disputed amount, but only if the Buyer deposits such withheld amounts into escrow in accordance with a mutually agreed upon escrow agreement, provided that if the parties cannot agree upon the terms of the escrow agreement or the escrow agent, the Buyer shall deposit the withheld payments with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Oklahoma. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Finally Determined” shall mean with respect to any indemnification claim made, and the liability for and amount of Losses therefor, when the parties to such claim have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final, non-appealable judgment has been issued by a court having proper jurisdiction.
