Upon the receipt of a written request of any Selling Shareholder holding Registrable Securities (specifying the number of Registrable Securities made within twenty (20) days after such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Selling Shareholder), Zynex shall, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.02(a), include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which Zynex has received a written request for inclusion (a "Piggyback Registration"). Each such request shall also contain an undertaking from the applicable Selling Shareholder to provide all such information and material and to take all actions as may be reasonably required by Zynex in order to permit Zynex to comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 7.02(a) is proposed to be underwritten, Zynex will so advise the Selling Shareholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 7.02(a). In such event, the right of any Selling Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 7.02(b) will be conditioned upon such Selling Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Selling Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Selling Shareholder shall (together with Zynex and the other Selling Shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by Zynex. If any Selling Shareholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Selling Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to Zynex, the managing underwriter and the other Selling Shareholders.

(c) Piggyback Registration Expenses. Zynex will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of Zynex, and the managing underwriters advise Zynex that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, Zynex shall include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities Zynex proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Selling Shareholders holding such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such Selling Shareholder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

(e) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of other holders of Zynex Common Stock, and the managing underwriters advise Zynex that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, Zynex shall include in such registration only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities and Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after giving written notice to the Selling Shareholders of its intention to register any shares of Zynex Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, Zynex shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, Zynex may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Selling Shareholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register Registrable Securities as part of such terminated registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in connection therewith as provided above). If a registration pursuant to this Section 7.02(f) involves an underwritten public offering and a Selling Shareholder requests to be included in such registration, such Selling Shareholder may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to participate in such registration.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buying Parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Buying Parties pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by any of the Buying Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) any failure to pay or otherwise cause the timely delivery, including release from Escrow, of any portion of the Purchase Price to the Selling Shareholders in accordance with the terms hereof or the Escrow Agreement.

Section 10.04 Indemnification by Selling Shareholders.

Section 10.05 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in ARTICLE X shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) None of the Principal Shareholders shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification for breaches of any representations and warranties made to the Buyer Parties, including those referenced under Section 10.02(a) and 10.04(a), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification with respect to such representations and warranties exceeds $200,000.00 (the "Deductible"), in which event the Principal Shareholders shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate cumulative amount of all Losses for which the Principal Shareholders shall be liable pursuant to breaches of representations and warranties shall not exceed $10,000,000.00 (the "Cap"); provided, however, that Losses arising with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of the Fundamental Representations, or with respect to Indemnified Taxes, shall be capped at the Purchase Price.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Selling Shareholders, that are not Principal Shareholders, shall not indemnify, nor have any liability for any indemnifiable Losses related to the indemnification pursuant to or otherwise contemplated in Section 10.3.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Selling Shareholders shall be liable for or required to pay for any Losses that in aggregate are in excess of the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such respective Selling Shareholder.

(e) The Buyer Indemnities shall not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Buyer Indemnitees have already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that a liability is taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Cash Consideration, or is otherwise reflected in the Purchase Price or any adjustment to the Purchase Price, no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder pursuant to ARTICLE X for such liability.

Section 10.06 Indemnification Procedures.

(i) Notice of Claims.

(A) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third-Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, which in any event shall be no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim.

(B) The failure to give such prompt written notice (other than a failure to give notice prior to the expiration of the survival period for such Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 10.1) shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent (i) that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is prejudiced by reason of such failure and (ii) of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay.

(C) Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all communications related to such Third-Party Claim, all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(ii) Right to Participate (Indemnifying Party) and Assumption of Defense.

(A) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Selling Shareholders, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.

(B) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.6, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Third-Party Claim following the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Third-Party Claim following the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(A) In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 10.06(e), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(B) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are materially different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party related to the above mentioned conflicts and alternative legal defenses for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines separate counsel is required.

(C) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.06(e), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all indemnifiable Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Cooperation. Indemnified Parties (and their Affiliates) and the Indemnifying Party (and their Affiliates) shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including:

(i) The non-defending party shall make available (subject to the provisions of Section 8.06) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, as well as make available management and employees of the non-defending party as the defending party considers to be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(ii) the non-defending Party shall promptly execute such documents and take such other actions as the defending Party may reasonably request for the purpose of facilitating the defense of, or any settlement, compromise, or adjustment relating to, such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, any such settlement, compromise or adjustment shall be subject to the consent of the non-defending Party as otherwise required pursuant to Section 10.06(e); and

(iii) the non-defending Party shall not admit any liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right of Set-Off.

(i) In the event any Buyer Indemnified Party has made any claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, which indemnifiable Losses have been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment or settlement and remain unsatisfied prior to the Second Escrow Release Date, the Buyer shall have a right to set-off (the “Right of Set-Off”) such remaining unsatisfied Loss amount against any Escrow Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund on the Second Escrow Release Date. Such set-off shall be made on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value of the remaining unsatisfied amount of such claim or claims.

(ii) To the extent Buyer plans to exercise its Right of Set-Off, Buyer shall first provide sufficient advance written notice of at least 30 days prior to the Second Escrow Release Date detailing Buyer’s intent to exercise its Right Of Set-Off against the Escrow Shares to satisfy the respective Selling Shareholder’s Indemnification obligations in regard to the finally determined indemnifiable Loss. Such notice shall detail the specifics of such claim, including (1) the amount of Losses to which such Right of Set-Off would apply, (2) the number of Escrow Shares that would be forfeited pursuant to such exercise, (3) the claims for which such right is being exercised, (4) the date on which such Losses were deemed final, and (5) the calculations, with supporting documentation of the determination of the value of the Escrow Shares pursuant to subparagraph (iv) below and (6) such additional information as the affected Selling Shareholder(s) may reasonable request related to the above. Each of the Selling Shareholders, who are Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Loss, may elect to satisfy their pro rata portion of the finally determined indemnifiable Losses with other immediately available funds, in lieu of Buyer’s intended exercise of the Set-Off Right, whereupon Buyer shall have no Right of Set-Off against such Escrow Shares allocated to such Selling Shareholder.

(iii) Any Escrow Shares that are set-off against (as contemplated above) pursuant to this Section 10.06(d) shall be released from the Escrow Fund to the Buyer, and no Selling Shareholder from whom such set-off applied shall thereafter have any rights to receive such set off Escrow Shares, subject to the notice provisions and such Selling Shareholder’s right to pay any such claims in lieu of Buyer’s exercise of its the Right of Set-Off.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 10.06, the value of the Escrow Shares shall be determined as follows: each escrow share, for purposes of, shall equal to the weighted average closing price of Zynex Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for each trading day during the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding the date on which such claim has been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment, such weighted average to be weighted based on the trading volume of the Zynex Common Stock, as reported on Nasdaq, for each trading day during such thirty (30) day period. And, the number of Escrow Shares held in respect of a Selling Shareholder for which the Right of Set-Off has been exercised by Buyer that the Escrow Agent shall release to satisfy a Selling Shareholder’s allocable portion of the finally determined Loss shall be equal the Selling Shareholder’s allocated portion of such Loss divided by the average share price as determined immediately above.

(e) Settlement of Third-Party Claims.

(i) Entry into Settlements By Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 10.06(e).

(ii) Firm Offers to Settle. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the Indemnifying Party’s pro rata portion of the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim.

(iii) Entry Into Settlements by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(iii), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f) Direct Claims.

(i) Any action by an Indemnified Party on account of a indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim.

(ii) The failure to give such prompt written notice (other than a failure to give notice prior to the expiration of the survival period for such Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 10.01) shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent: (i) that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure, and (ii) of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay.

(iii) Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate in detail the estimated amount of the indemnifiable Loss that has been or, if reasonably practicable, be sustained by the Indemnified Party and identify the breached provisions in this for which such loss is claimed. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations Section 3.27 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in ARTICLE VIII) shall be governed exclusively by ARTICLE VIII hereof.

Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses 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 Losses.
