Notwithstanding the above, the parties agree that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement executed by the parties effective March 28, 2014 shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms. Notwithstanding the above, the parties acknowledge that they have previously distributed a joint press release (a copy is attached as Exhibit E) and Buyer acknowledges that Seller will be filing a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 5.02 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

Section 5.03 Employee Matters. Buyer will make offers of employment, effective as of the Closing, to the employees of Seller who are dedicated to the Business, each of whom is listed on Section 5.03 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Business Employees”). Such offers of employment and compensation will be based upon Buyer’s business practices and in accordance with all applicable laws. Seller will not intentionally take any actions that will discourage such employees from accepting the offers of employment with Buyer. Any Employees of the Business retained by the Buyer post-Closing shall be eligible for credit for the prior years of service with Seller if years of service are a consideration under any of the Buyer’s benefit or other programs at the time of the Closing.

Section 5.04 Non-Competition. Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of Four (4) years commencing on the Closing Date, Seller will not engage in the activities of the Business, anywhere in the world, (“Competitive Activities”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit:

(a) Seller from engaging in any of its existing or planned businesses (other than the Business); or

(b) Seller from acquiring any company or business that engages in Competitive Activities provided that such activities do not constitute in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the revenues of the company or business to be acquired (based on the sales of such business during the preceding four (4) full calendar quarters).

Seller shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to such Letter of Intent where such Letter Of Intent contains commercially reasonable terms. In principal, the Parties agree that the price of the RFR shall be determined on a prorated basis, based on the fraction which is equal to (i) the value of the Competitive Activities, divided by (ii) the acquisition price of the acquired company or business. This fraction shall then be multiplied by the acquisition price of the company or business to yield the RFR price. The RFR shall expire twenty (20) days after Seller delivers written notice of the acquisition to Buyer.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
