II. Purchase And Sale

2.1Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing each of Sweet and Xxxxxxx Trust shall sell and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Sweet and Xxxxxxx Trust, all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens.

2.2Purchase Price . The consideration for all of the Shares will be an amount equal to the sum (as adjusted following the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4, the “Purchase Price”) of:

(a)$60,000,000, allocated between the Deco Shares and the Oaktree Shares as set forth on Schedule 2.2(a); plus or minus , as the case may be;

(b)the amount by which the Closing Working Capital is greater than or less than, respectively, the Target Working Capital (the “Working Capital Adjustment”). “Closing Working Capital” means the amount calculated by subtracting those current liabilities of Deco Logistics and Oaktree Logistics of the type identified by the line items on Schedule 2.2(b) from those current assets of Deco Logistics and Oaktree Logistics of the type identified by the line items on Schedule 2.2(b) as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with the applicable Accounting Practices; provided, however, that if current liabilities have been reduced by outstanding or uncleared checks or wire transfers that are not reflected as a reduction to Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Companies as of the Closing, then the aggregate amount of such reduction to current liabilities shall be disregarded for purposes of determining Closing Working Capital. An illustration of the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, as if the Closing had occurred on September 30, 2018, is shown on Schedule 2.2(b). “Target Working Capital” is $4,164,000; plus;

(c)An amount equal to all Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Companies as of the Closing (“Closing Cash Amount”).

2.3Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows.

(a)On or before the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer a closing statement (attached to this Agreement as Schedule 2.3(a)), setting forth in detail Sellers’ Representative’s good faith estimates of the Working Capital Adjustment as of the Closing Date and the Closing Cash Amount and the Purchase Price based thereon calculated in accordance with Section 2.2 (the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price”). If Buyer reasonably believes the Estimated Closing Purchase Price delivered by Sellers’ Representative is unreasonable, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If any disputed matter cannot be resolved, and the Parties nevertheless complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then the Estimated Closing Purchase Price will be calculated

based upon the Sellers’ Representative’s position concerning such disputed matter without prejudice to the right of Buyer to raise such disputed matter(s) again in accordance with the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4.

(b)Buyer shall pay to Sellers a cash closing payment (the “Closing Payments”) in an amount equal to (i) the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, minus (ii) the amount of the Escrow Fund, minus (iii) the amount of the Existing Indebtedness owing by either of Deco Logistics or Oaktree Logistics; minus (iv) all Sellers’ Transaction Expenses paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3(e); minus (v) the Xxxxxx Retention Bonus Holdback Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts and in the amounts specified in Schedule 2.3(b).

(c)Within five Business Days after the calculation of the Final Purchase Price becomes final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the Parties pursuant to Section 2.4, Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall make the following payments.

(i)If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, then (A) Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of the difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Estimated Closing Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts and in the amounts specified in writing by the Sellers’ Representative, and (B) Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the entire amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund to Sellers as directed by the Sellers’ Representative.

(ii)If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price (the amount of such difference being the “Deficit Amount”), then (A) Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent (1) to release the Deficit Amount to Buyer, and (2) if the Deficit Amount is less than the Working Capital Escrow Fund, to release the remaining balance of the Working Capital Escrow Fund, if any, to Sellers as directed by the Sellers’ Representative, and (B) if the Deficit Amount is greater than the Working Capital Escrow Fund, then Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Buyer the amount of the difference between the Deficit Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Fund, in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts and in the amounts specified in writing by Buyer; provided, however, that if Sellers do not timely make such payment to Buyer as required by this Section, then Buyer shall have the right to direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer the amount of such payment from the Indemnification Escrow Fund and Sellers shall promptly replenish the Indemnification Escrow Fund for the full amount of such funds distributed to Buyer from the Indemnification Escrow Fund pursuant to this Section.

2.4Calculation of Final Purchase Price.

(a)On or before the 90^th day following the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) prepare, or cause to be prepared, a combined balance sheet of Deco Logistics and Oaktree Logistics as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and a calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash Amount, and the Final Purchase Price based thereon (collectively, the “Closing Financial Information”), and (ii) deliver the Closing Financial Information to Sellers’ Representative. The Closing Financial Information shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b)During the thirty day period following delivery of the Closing Financial Information to Sellers’ Representative, Sellers’ Representative and/or its Representatives shall be permitted to review the books, records, accounting records and accounting work papers used by Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Financial Information. The Final Purchase Price as calculated by Buyer shall be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the Parties on the thirtieth day following delivery of the Closing Financial Information, unless Sellers’ Representative gives written notice of his disagreement (the “Notice of Disagreement”) with the calculation of the Final Purchase Price to Buyer on or prior to such date. The Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail, and on a line item by line item basis, the disputed items and the nature and amount of any disagreement so asserted (the “Disputed Items”), (ii) an alternative amount for each such Disputed Item, (iii) a proposed calculation by Sellers’ Representative of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash Amount, and the Final Purchase Price based thereon, and (iv) only include disagreements based on one of the foregoing not being calculated in accordance with Section 2.2 or mathematical or factual errors. All items in the Closing Financial Information which are not specified in the Notice of Disagreement as being Disputed Items shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers and shall not be subject to any further dispute or adjustment.

(c)If Sellers’ Representative duly and timely delivers to Buyer the Notice of Disagreement, then the calculation of the Final Purchase Price shall become final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the Parties on the earlier of (i) the date Sellers’ Representative and Buyer resolve in writing all differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, or (ii) the date all disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Reviewing Accountant (as defined below). If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Notice of Disagreement and the calculation of the Final Purchase Price within thirty days after Buyer’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, then Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a partner having relevant expertise and practicing at CBIZ, or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, a partner having relevant expertise and practicing at such other regionally recognized independent public accounting firm which none of the Parties have previously engaged, as shall be agreed upon by the Parties in writing (the “Reviewing Accountant”). Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Reviewing Accountant that it (i) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) shall review only the matters that were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement, (iii) shall make its determination based upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.4(c) and within the range of (1) the amount of Final Purchase Price set forth in the Closing Financial Information, and (2) the amount of Final Purchase Price set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, and (iv) shall render its decision within sixty days after the referral of the dispute to the Reviewing Accountant for a decision pursuant hereto. The determination by the Reviewing Accountant shall be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant incurred in rendering any judgment pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be paid one-half by Sellers’ Representative and one-half by Buyer. The fees and expenses of Sellers’ Representative’s advisors incurred in connection with their review of the Closing Financial Information and, if applicable, the Notice of Disagreement, shall be paid by Sellers’ Representative, and the fees and expenses of Buyer’s advisors incurred in connection with its preparation of the Closing Financial Information, and, if applicable, the Notice of Disagreement, shall be paid by Buyer. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Reviewing Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The Purchase Price, once finally resolved and/or agreed to in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall become the “Final Purchase Price”.

2.5Sellers’ Responsibilities with Respect to Retained Liabilities. Sellers shall be responsible for payment of all Retained Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers shall pay, or shall cause each Company and its Subsidiaries to pay, on or before the Closing Date all Existing Indebtedness and all other Retained Liabilities that are due or payable as of such date. To the extent that any of the Retained Liabilities are not paid on the Closing Date, deducted from the Purchase Price, or included as liabilities in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, as the case may be, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the Sellers shall remain obligated after the Closing to pay all such Retained Liabilities.

IX. TAXES

9.1Proration of Taxes. Any Taxes of the Companies for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing Tax period and post-Closing Tax period based, in the case of property Taxes, on the basis of local custom for the location of each specific property, and, in the case of other Taxes, on an interim closing of the books as of the close of the Pre-Closing Tax Period. The amount of property Taxes shall be reapportioned within thirty days after the date of the receipt of the xxxx for the actual property Taxes for the Straddle Period. Sellers shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period if and to the extent such property Taxes were not taken into account in the determination of the Closing Working Capital, and all Taxes of Sellers for all periods. Buyer shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Companies attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period. For the avoidance of doubt, all Taxes resulting from the cancellation of all intercompany accounts between Sellers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand, and all Taxes of the Sellers and the Companies arising out of the purchase of the Shares shall be allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

9.2Filing of Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, Sellers’ Representative shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the Companies for periods ending on and including the Closing Date that have not been filed by the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). Sellers’ Representative shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, the Pre-Closing Tax Returns in a manner consistent with their past practice. At least thirty days before the due date of each such Tax Return (including extensions), Sellers’ Representative shall (a) forward a copy of the Tax Return and any supporting workpapers and schedules thereto to Buyer and (b) pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Buyer an amount of cash equal to the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns as allocated to Sellers under Section 9.1. Buyer shall have an opportunity to review such Tax Returns, workpapers, and schedules, and shall sign and file such Tax Returns when Buyer is reasonably satisfied that neither Buyer nor any of its employees or agents will incur any fines, penalties or similar sanctions in connection with such filing, it being understood and agreed that if Buyer receives an opinion from a nationally recognized accounting firm that such accounting firm would be willing to sign such Tax Return as prepared, Buyer shall file such Tax Return promptly and without modification. Such Tax Returns shall not be amended without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns that require any Company to be included in such Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall prepare and timely file all such Tax Returns on a basis that is consistent with their prior practices. Buyer shall prepare all Tax Returns for periods that begin during the Pre-Closing Tax Period and end after the Closing

Date (“Straddle Tax Returns”). Thirty days prior to the final due date (including extensions) of each Straddle Tax Return, Buyer shall forward a copy of such Straddle Tax Return and any supporting workpapers and schedules thereto to Sellers’s Representative who shall distribute to each of the Sellers for their review and comments. At least fifteen days before the due date (including extensions) of each Straddle Tax Return, Sellers shall pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Buyer an amount of cash equal to the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Straddle Tax Returns attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period allocated to Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1. Buyer and Sellers agree to file, or cause to be filed, all relevant Tax Returns on the basis that the purchase and sale contemplated herein shall occur for Tax purposes as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the relevant Tax authority will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis.

9.3Indemnification. Each Restricted Person shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Persons from and against (a) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of (i) the Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, if and to the extent such Taxes were not taken into account in the determination of the Closing Working Capital, and (ii) any Predecessor attributable to any period, (b) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any Company (including any Predecessor) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign Law, (c) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Companies) imposed on any Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, (d) any Tax Liability associated with an invalid S election, (e) any liability for Taxes allocated to any Restricted Person pursuant to Section 9.1, and (f) any Loss attributable to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers to Buyer in Section 5.21 (provided that a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the claims, to Sellers on or before the expiration of the statute of limitations) or breach of any Restricted Person’s covenants or agreements in this Article IX. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Persons’ obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.3 is unconditional and not subject to any limitation on the Restricted Persons’ obligations pursuant to Section 8.6, other than Section 8.6(e).

9.4Refunds and Credits. Any credits or offsets of Taxes of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Sellers, provided that any credits or offsets that are conditioned on the maintenance of certain conditions by Buyer after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. Any credits or offsets of Taxes of the Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Buyer. Any credits or offsets of Taxes of the Companies for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Sellers and Buyer.

9.5Transfer Taxes. All sales, use and transfer Taxes, including any value added, equity transfer, gross receipts, stamp duty and real, personal, or intangible property transfer Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), due by reason of the consummation of the purchase of the Shares hereunder, including any interest or penalties in respect thereof, shall be borne by Sellers.

9.6Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a)Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and Representatives to cooperate, and to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Companies as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the preparation for any Tax audit, the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed Tax adjustment for which Sellers or Buyer retain liability under this Article IX. Buyer and Sellers shall keep all such information and documents received by them confidential unless otherwise required by Law.

(b)Buyer and Sellers agree to retain or cause to be retained all books and records pertinent to the Companies until the applicable period for assessment of Taxes under applicable Law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired, and such additional period as necessary for any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to any proposed assessment, and to abide by and cause each Company to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing authority. Sellers and Buyer agree to give the other reasonable notice prior to transferring, discarding or destroying any such books and records relating to Tax matters and, if so requested, Sellers and Buyer shall allow the requesting Party to take possession of such books and records.

(a)If Buyer (on behalf of it or a Buyer Indemnified Person, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) elects to assert a claim for indemnity pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (an “Claim”), it must give written notice of such Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to Escrow Agent and Sellers’ Representative on or before the expiration of the Indemnification Escrow Period. Such Claim Notice must include a description of the Claim and the basis therefor and the amount of the Claim (the “Claim Amount”), if known, asserted by Buyer for such Claim (including, if appropriate, an estimate of all costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Buyer by reason of such claim).

(b)If the Escrow Agent has not received a written objection to the Claim Amount or portion thereof from Sellers’ Representative (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) within thirty days following the day that Escrow Agent has receipt of such Claim Notice, then, within two (2) Business Days after expiration of such thirty-day period, the Escrow Agent shall release an amount from the Indemnification Escrow Funds equal to the Claim Amount, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Buyer. If the Escrow Agent receives a Claim Dispute Notice from Sellers’ Representative (a copy of which Sellers’ Representative shall concurrently deliver to Buyer) within thirty days following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the related Claim Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall not distribute to Buyer any portion of the Claim Amount until the Escrow Agent receives either a Joint Written Direction or a Final Order with respect to such Claim; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sellers’ Representative objects only in part to the Claim Amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days after the lapse of the aforementioned thirty day period, deliver to Buyer an amount from the Indemnification Escrow Funds equal to the portion of the Claim Amount not objected to by Sellers’ Representative in the Claim Dispute Notice.

(c)Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Claim Notice or Claim Dispute Notice or whether any Claim Notice or Claim Dispute Notice has been received by, or provided to Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, as applicable. Escrow Agent may conclusively presume that any Claim Notice or Claim Dispute Notice delivered to it has been simultaneously delivered to Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be.

(d)Escrow Agent shall pay a Claim to Buyer from the Indemnification Escrow Funds only pursuant to (i) this Section 6, (ii) a Joint Written Direction or (iii) a Final Order.

7.Investment of Funds. Based upon Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific written direction to the contrary at any time that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent is directed to invest and reinvest the Escrow Funds in the investment identified in Schedule A. If applicable, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative acknowledge receipt from Escrow Agent of a current copy of the prospectus for the investment identified in Schedule A. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative may deliver to Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction changing the investment of the Escrow Funds, upon which direction Escrow Agent may conclusively rely without inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers’ Representative warrant that no investment or

reinvestment direction will be given except in the following: (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America; (b) U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and certificates of deposit issued by any bank, bank and trust company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates), which are either (i) insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to FDIC limits, or (ii) with domestic commercial banks which have a rating on their short-term certificates of deposit on the date of purchase of at least “A-1 ” by S&P or “P-1” by Moody’s (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); or (c) money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates; provided further, however, that Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that Escrow Agent determines are not consistent with Escrow Agent’s policies or practices. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative recognize and agree that Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of Escrow Funds or the purchase or disposition of any investment and the Escrow Agent will not have any liability for any loss in an investment made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent has no responsibility whatsoever to determine the market or other value of any investment and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any such valuations. To the extent applicable regulations grant rights to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative waive receipt of such confirmations.

All investments will be made in the name of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may, without notice to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any time for any disbursement of Escrow Funds permitted or required hereunder and will not be liable for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of any such investment. All investment earnings will become part of the Escrow Funds and investment losses will be charged against the Escrow Funds. With respect to any Escrow Funds or investment instruction received by Escrow Agent after 11:00 a.m., U.S. Central Time, Escrow Agent will not be required to invest applicable funds until the next Business Day. Receipt of the Escrow Funds and investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Funds will be confirmed by Escrow Agent by an account statement. Failure to inform Escrow Agent in writing of any error or omission in any such account statement within 90 days after receipt will conclusively be deemed confirmation and approval by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative of such account statement.

8.Tax Reporting. Escrow Agent has no responsibility for the tax consequences of this Agreement and Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall consult with independent counsel concerning any and all tax matters. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative jointly and severally agree to (a) assume all obligations imposed now or hereafter by any applicable tax law or regulation with respect to payments or performance under this Agreement and (b) request and direct the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, and advise the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to any certifications and governmental reporting that may be required under any applicable laws or regulations. Except as otherwise agreed by Escrow Agent in writing, Escrow Agent has no tax reporting or withholding obligation except with respect to Form 1099-B reporting on payments of gross proceeds under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045 and Form 1099 and Form 1042-S reporting with respect to investment income earned on the Escrow Funds, if any. To the extent that U.S. federal imputed interest regulations apply, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall, no later than 5 Business Days

after the effective date of this Agreement, so inform the Escrow Agent, provide the Escrow Agent with all imputed interest calculations and direct the Escrow Agent to disburse imputed interest amounts as Buyer and Sellers’ Representative deem appropriate. The Escrow Agent will rely solely on such provided calculations and information and will have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such calculations or information. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall provide Escrow Agent a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable, for each payee. If requested tax documentation is not so provided, Escrow Agent is authorized to withhold taxes as required by the United States Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative have determined that any interest or income on Escrow Funds will be reported on an accrual basis and deemed to be for the account of Sellers’ Representative.

9.Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving ten days’ prior written notice to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative specifying a date when such resignation will take effect and, after the date of such resignation notice, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Escrow Agent’s sole obligation will be to hold the Escrow Funds pending appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. Similarly, Escrow Agent may be removed at any time by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative giving at least thirty days’ prior written notice to Escrow Agent specifying the date when such removal will take effect. If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative fail to jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent prior to the effective date of such resignation or removal, Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor escrow agent, and all costs and expenses related to such petition shall be paid jointly and severally by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. After any retiring Escrow Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

10.Duties and Liability of Escrow Agent.

(a)Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties will be implied. Escrow Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. Escrow Agent’s permissive rights will not be construed as duties. Escrow Agent has no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any document other than this Agreement, including without limitation any other agreement between any or all of the parties hereto or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein and whether or not a copy of such document has been provided to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility is to hold the Escrow Funds in accordance with Escrow Agent’s customary practices and disbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to make any calculations under this Agreement, or to determine when any calculation required under the provisions of this Agreement should be made, how it

should be made or what it should be, or to confirm or verify any such calculation. Escrow Agent will not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. This Agreement will terminate upon the distribution of all the Escrow Funds pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, and Escrow Agent will thereafter have no further obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Escrow Funds.

(b)Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines, which determination is not subject to appeal, that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its material breach of this Agreement was the sole cause of any loss to Buyer or Sellers’ Representative. Escrow Agent may retain and act hereunder through agents, and will not be responsible for or have any liability with respect to the acts of any such agent retained by Escrow Agent in good faith.

(c)Escrow Agent may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event will Escrow Agent be liable for (i) acting in accordance with or conclusively relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document believed by Escrow Agent to have been created by or on behalf of Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, (ii) incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties of any kind (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalty and regardless of the form of action or (iii) any amount greater than the value of the Escrow Funds as valued upon deposit with Escrow Agent.

(d)Escrow Agent will not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terror, epidemics, governmental regulations, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, attacks or intrusions, power failures, earthquakes or any other circumstance beyond its control. Escrow Agent will not be obligated to take any legal action in connection with the Escrow Funds, this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or to take any other action that in Escrow Agent’s sole judgment may expose it to potential expense or liability. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative are aware that under applicable state law, property which is presumed abandoned may under certain circumstances escheat to the applicable state. Escrow Agent will have no liability to Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, or any other party, should any or all of the Escrow Funds escheat by operation of law.

(e)Escrow Agent may consult, at Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s cost, legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving this Agreement, and will incur no liability and must be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the advice of such counsel. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree to perform or procure the performance of all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents, as may be required by law or as Escrow Agent may reasonably request in connection with its duties hereunder. When any action is provided for herein to be done on or by a specified date that falls on a day other than a Business Day, such action may be performed on the following Business Day.

(f)If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon, or otherwise subject to any writ, order, decree or process of any court, or in case disbursement of Escrow Funds is stayed or enjoined by any court order, Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders, decrees or process so entered or issued, including but not limited to those which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction; and if Escrow Agent relies upon or complies with any such writ, order, decree or process, it will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even if such order is reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(g)Escrow Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of Escrow Agent may buy, sell and deal in any of the securities of any other party hereto and contract and lend money to any other party hereto and otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein will preclude Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for any other party hereto or for any other person or entity.

(h)In the event instructions, including funds transfer instructions, address change or change in contact information are given to Escrow Agent (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, Escrow Agent is authorized, but not required, to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any person designated by the instructing party on Schedule C hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and will be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Schedule C, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but will be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Buyer’s or Sellers’ Representative’s executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as the case may be, which will include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President, as Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer must deliver to Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree that Escrow Agent may at its option record any telephone calls made pursuant to this Section. Escrow Agent in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank, even when its use may result in a person other than the intended beneficiary, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the intended beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative acknowledge that these optional security procedures are commercially reasonable.

11.Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee and affiliate of Escrow Agent (each, an “Indemnified Party”) upon demand against any and all claims, actions and proceedings (whether asserted or commenced by Buyer, Sellers’ Representative or any other person or entity and whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including without limitation reasonable

attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from this Agreement or Escrow Agent’s actions hereunder, except to the extent such Losses are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not subject to appeal, to have been directly caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative jointly and severally. The obligations of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

Without limiting the joint and several nature of Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s obligations to Escrow Agent under this Section 11, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree between themselves that each will be responsible to the other for one-half of such obligations, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative is substantially or more at fault with regard to any matter giving rise to such obligations, in which case obligations among Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will be paid by them based upon the amount of fault ascribed to each of them by such court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree that the payment by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification shall not impair, limit, modify or affect, as between Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, the respective rights and obligations of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative under the Purchase Agreement.

12.Compensation of Escrow Agent.

(a)Fees and Expenses. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree, jointly and severally, to compensate Escrow Agent upon demand for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule B attached hereto. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Escrow Agent, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree between themselves that each will be responsible to the other for one-half of Escrow Agent’s compensation. The obligations of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

(b)Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from the Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any other Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder). Escrow Agent shall notify Buyer and Sellers’ Representative of any such disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or any other Indemnified Party and shall furnish Buyer and Sellers’ Representative copies of related invoices and other statements.

(c)Security and Offset. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative hereby grant to Escrow Agent and the other Indemnified Parties a first priority security interest in, lien upon and right of sale and offset against the Escrow Funds with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). If for any reason the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall promptly pay such amounts upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13.Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative each respectively make the following representations and warranties to Escrow Agent:

(i)it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and this Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action and constitutes its valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);

14.Identifying Information. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, Escrow Agent requires documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Escrow Agent may require financial statements, licenses or identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree to provide all information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with any legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner. Escrow Agent’s appointment and acceptance of its duties under this Agreement is contingent upon verification of all regulatory requirements applicable to Buyer, Sellers’ Representative and any of their permitted assigns, including successful completion of a final background check. These conditions include, without limitation, requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act, the USA FREEDOM Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control.

15.Notices. All notices, approvals, consents, requests and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing (provided that any communication sent to Escrow Agent hereunder must be in the form of a manually signed document or electronic copy thereof), in English, and may only be delivered (a) by personal delivery, or (b) by national overnight courier service, or (c) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (d) via email by way of a PDF attachment thereto.

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Investment Authorization Form

U.S. BANK MONEY MARKET DEPOSIT ACCOUNT

Description and Terms

The U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account is a U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) interest-bearing money market deposit account designed to meet the needs of U.S. Bank’s Corporate Trust Services Escrow Group and other corporate trust customers of U.S. Bank. Selection of this investment includes authorization to place funds on deposit and invest with U.S. Bank.

U.S. Bank uses the daily balance method to calculate interest on this account (actual/365 or 366). This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal balance in the account each day. Interest is accrued daily and credited monthly to the account. Interest rates are determined at U.S. Bank’s discretion, and may be tiered by customer deposit amount.

The owner of the account is U.S. Bank as agent for its corporate trust customers. U.S. Bank’s Corporate Trust Services Escrow Group performs all account deposits and withdrawals. Deposit accounts are FDIC insured per depositor, as determined under FDIC Regulations, up to applicable FDIC limits.

U.S. BANK IS NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS A MUNICIPAL ADVISOR WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FOR PURPOSES OF COMPLYING WITH THE XXXX-XXXXX XXXX STREET REFORM & CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. INVESTMENT ADVICE, IF NEEDED, SHOULD BE OBTAINED FROM YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

Automatic Authorization

In the absence of specific written direction to the contrary to the extent and as authorized in the applicable escrow agreement, U.S. Bank is hereby directed to invest and reinvest proceeds and other available moneys in the U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account. The customer(s) confirm that the U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account is a permitted investment under the operative documents and this authorization is the permanent direction for investment of the moneys until notified in writing of permissible alternate instructions.

SCHEDULE B

Schedule of Fees for Services as Escrow Agent


A.	Administration Fee, One-Time:	$2,500

The one-time administration fee covers the routine duties of Escrow Agent associated with the administration of the account. Administration fees are payable in advance. In the event that the Agreement is not terminated within two years, then an additional administrative fee of $1,000 shall be due for each year or part thereof. This assumes that Escrow Agent will be directed to invest in an automated sweep vehicle available through Escrow Agent’s trust accounting system.


B.	Disbursement Processing Fees (if any):	$100 per disbursement in excess
		of twelve disbursements per year

The first twelve disbursements per year are included within the administration fee. Disbursement processing fees after twelve disbursements per year (if any) will billed in arrears. This includes payment by check or wire.


C.	Out-of-Pocket Expenses (if any):	At Cost

Reimbursement of expenses associated with Escrow Agent’s acceptance, administration of, or performance under the Agreement, including without limitation fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other agents, tax preparation, reporting and filing, and filing and recording fees, will be billed at cost.

Extraordinary services are responses to requests, inquiries or developments, or the carrying out of duties or responsibilities of an unusual nature, including termination, which may or may not be provided for in the governing documents, or are not routine or undertaken in the ordinary course of business. Payment of fees for extraordinary services is appropriate where particular requests, inquiries or developments are unexpected, even if the possibility of such things could have been foreseen at the inception of the transaction. A reasonable charge will be assessed and collected based on the nature of the extraordinary service. At our option, these charges will be billed at a flat fee or at Escrow Agent’s hourly rate then in effect. Extraordinary services might include, without limitation, amendments or supplements, specialized reporting, non-routine calculations, foreign wire transfers, processing of IRS Form W-8IMY, use investments not automated with Escrow Agent’s trust accounting system, and actual or threatened litigation or arbitration proceedings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

EXECUTION

PART TIME CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Part Time Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of December 7, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Deco Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”) and LCT Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (“Consultant”). The Company and Consultant are referred to from time to time in this Agreement, individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

Background

Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (“Principal”) is a member of Consultant.

Reference is hereby made to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the Effective Date, by and among Xxxxx Xxxxx Intermodal, Inc., d/b/a Universal Intermodal Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Universal Intermodal”), Principal, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, The Xxxxxxx Family Special Needs Gift Trust, dated July 18, 2014, and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx.

Consultant will directly and indirectly benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

As a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Consultant have agreed that Consultant will provide certain consulting services to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows.

Agreement

1.Engagement. The Company hereby engages Consultant on a part time basis, and Consultant accepts such part time engagement, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Engagement Period”). The Engagement Period can only be extended by a written agreement executed by each Party. The effective date of the termination or expiration of this Agreement is referred to as the “Termination Date”.

2.Services and Responsibilities; Exclusivity.

(a)During the Engagement Period, Consultant shall provide to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates the services specified on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, as may be modified only by the written agreement of the Parties (the “Services”). Consultant will cause the Services to be provided by Principal. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to (i) determine the priority of the Services and the order in which Consultant shall perform the Services, and (ii) schedule the time at which the Services will be provided, taking into account the Principal’s travel

schedule, other commitments, and general availability. The term “Affiliates” as used in this Agreement means and includes any entity, directly or indirectly, that Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with the Company. The term “Control” means the legal, beneficial, or equitable ownership of more than 50% of the voting power, equity, or other ownership interest in an entity.

(b)Consultant and Principal shall report to the Company’s President or its Board of Directors (the “Board”) or such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the President or the Board.

(c)It is anticipated that the Services will be provided primarily via telephone and email. Principal shall be expected to travel to perform the Services as reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, including to the Company’s headquarters, regional locations, and customer locations.

(d)Principal shall perform the Services personally and shall interact with the Company and its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives (i) in good faith and in a timely, professional, and collegial manner, (ii) with the time, energy and skill reasonably required to provide the Services, (iii) using reasonable best efforts to promote the success of the Company and any of its designated Affiliates and the advancement and reasonable best interests of the Company and of its designated Affiliates, (iv) in accordance with the highest ethical and professional standards, and (v) in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Consultant and Principal shall not take any action that infringes on the rights of any third party, including any intellectual property rights of any third party.

(e)Consultant and Principal shall observe all of the Company’s and any of its designated Affiliates’ policies regarding personal and professional conduct, including the following policies: non-harassment; workplace violence; anti-corruption; antitrust compliance; and electronic communications. In particular, Consultant and Principal shall refrain from paying, offering to pay or authorizing payment of anything of value (in any form, including any compensation, gift, contribution or otherwise) to any person or organization contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including the laws of the United States (such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

3.Compensation; Expenses.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay Consultant as set forth on Exhibit 2 to this Agreement (the “Fee”).

(b)The Company shall reimburse Consultant, in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time relating to reimbursement of business, travel and entertainment expenses, for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Consultant in connection with performing the Services for the Company or any of its designated Affiliates during the Engagement Period; provided, however, that (i) any required air travel shall be business class or, if business class is not available, first class, and (ii) Consultant shall account to the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies and the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service for all such expenses, each as in effect at the applicable time. Consultant shall not incur any reimbursable expenses of any kind without the prior written consent of the Company.

4.Part-Time Consultant. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Consultant’s relationship to the Company will be that of an independent contractor consultant and not an employee. Consultant shall not have the right to participate in any employee benefit program of the Company or any of its Affiliates by reason that this is strictly a part-time relationship created between the Parties, except as required by applicable law. The Company will not withhold FICA (Social Security and Medicare taxes) or any other taxes from the Consultant’s compensation or make FICA or any other payments on behalf of the Consultant. The Company will not make state or federal unemployment compensation contributions on behalf of the Consultant. The Consultant will pay all taxes incurred while performing the Services, including any applicable withholding or employment taxes. The Consultant and the Principal shall not be entitled to receive any health, welfare or other employee benefits of any kind from the Company.

5.Termination.

(a)The Company may terminate this Agreement before the end of the Engagement Period upon thirty days’ advance written notice to Consultant for any or no reason, whether with or without Cause.

(b)The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for Cause. “Cause” means the Company’s reasonable, good faith determination that any one of the following has occurred: (i) a material breach by Consultant of this Agreement, (ii) Consultant’s or Principal’s conviction of, guilty or nolo contendere plea to, or confession of guilt of, a felony (other than motor vehicle offenses the effect of which do not materially affect Principal’s ability to perform the Services) or crime constituting moral turpitude, (iii) Consultant’s fraudulent or illegal conduct in the performance of the Services, (iv) conduct by Consultant (A) in willful violation of any material Company or any of its designated Affiliates policy (including policies regarding discrimination, harassment and retaliation), or (B) materially detrimental to the business, operations or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (v) Consultant’s embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or fraud, whether or not related to Consultant’s engagement with the Company or its Affiliates, including Consultant’s failure to comply with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, (vi) Principal performing Services under the influence of alcohol (excluding Company events where alcohol is being served) or Principal’s unlawful use or possession of drugs or illegal drugs (whether or not in the workplace), or (vii) Principal’s insubordination, gross negligence, willful misconduct or repeated failure to comply with lawful directions of the President or the Board (or such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the President or the Board) consistent with Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement.

With respect to clauses (i), (iv), and (vii) above, except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, Consultant shall have ten business days from the delivery of written notice by the Company within which to cure any acts constituting Cause under such clauses; provided, however, that, if the Company reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of ten business days, the Company may give Consultant notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances, which may include the termination of this Agreement without notice and with immediate effect.

(c)Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Company shall have no further obligations of any kind to pay any Fees to Consultant or to make any other payments or reimbursements of any kind to Consultant under this Agreement, other than any Fees earned but unpaid prior to the Termination Date, if any, and the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Consultant before the Termination Date, so long as Consultant provides appropriate expense reports and documentation within ten days following the Termination Date.

6.Confidential Information. With respect to Confidential Information (as defined below) that Consultant has previously received or is in his possession as a prior equity holder of the Company or receives, has access to or acquires by any means during the course of his engagement with the Company, including Confidential Information belonging to any of its Affiliates, Consultant agrees that:

(a)Consultant’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates and that the restrictions in this Section 6 are necessary to protect the Restricted Business (as defined below) and Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates to preserve the value the shares and assets acquired through the Purchase Agreement, as well as any goodwill associated therewith.

(b)Nothing in this Section 6, however, will prohibit Consultant from (i) being a passive owner of not more than 5% of the outstanding stock of a competing publicly-traded entity, so long as Consultant has no active participation in the business of such entity and Consultant is not entitled to any disproportionate economic interest in respect thereof, (ii) being or becoming a shareholder or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) subject to the next sentence, engaging in offers of employment to the public as long as not specifically directed at current employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any person who was within twelve months of such solicitation or employment an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates). The exception provided in clause (iii) above, however, shall not apply to any employee or former employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates whose annual salary at the time of his or her termination of employment (for whatever reason) was equal to or greater than $75,000 (i.e. Consultant, directly or indirectly, shall not offer employment or engagement to, nor hire or engage, any such person).

(c)Consultant is currently aware of and will continue, during the Engagement Period, to acquire further access to and familiarity with Confidential Information that is valuable and gives a competitive advantage to the Company and its Affiliates.

(d)Both during and after Consultant’s engagement with the Company, Consultant will retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and in compliance with the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge or communicate in any manner the Confidential Information Consultant has acquired during the engagement with the Company to any third person, nor will Consultant use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company or any of its designated Affiliates. During Consultant’s engagement with the Company (i) Consultant will use the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to enable Consultant to perform the Services, (ii) Consultant will take reasonable steps to protect any Confidential Information and/or other Company or Affiliate related data, and (iii) Consultant will not remove from the Company’s

or any of its designated Affiliates’ business premises or reproduce any documents, recordings, data or materials containing or embodying any Confidential Information, except to the extent such removal and/or reproduction is appropriate for, and directly in connection with, the performance by Consultant of the Services, and in the event of such permitted removal or reproduction, Consultant shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such materials. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Consultant shall return to the Company immediately, and not retain, all Confidential Information, documents, images, or audio/video recordings or other data that contain Confidential Information, whether in electronic form or hard copy, and all copies thereof, and to provide written verification that Consultant has complied in full with this requirement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Consultant may disclose, without violating the terms of this Agreement, Confidential Information that Consultant is specifically required by court order, subpoena or law to disclose, but Consultant agrees to disclose only that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, Consultant shall, unless prohibited from doing so by applicable law, provide the Company prompt written notice of any such court order, subpoena, or grounds requiring such disclosure, and will cooperate with the Company in seeking confidentiality protections or resisting such compulsion as requested by the Company at the Company’s sole cost and expense.

(f)As required by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will not be held criminally liable or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made under circumstances described therein, including: (i) in confidence to a government official or an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a legal proceeding, so long as such document is filed under seal; or (iii) should Consultant file a lawsuit against the Company for purported retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, then to his attorney, or in that court proceeding, so long as any document is filed under seal and Consultant does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order. Unless expressly provided, the DTSA does not authorize, or limit liability for, an act that is otherwise prohibited by law, such as the unlawful access of material by unauthorized means.

(g) Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or any of its designed Affiliates, as applicable, owns all right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information. Consultant hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or any of its designed Affiliates, as applicable, any rights Consultant may have or acquire in any and all Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or any of its designed Affiliates, as applicable.

(h)For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Business” means drayage services, warehousing, secured truck or trailer parking, and truckload services.

(ii)“Confidential Information” means any and all (A) confidential knowledge, data or information related to the Company’s or its Affiliates’ business or actual or anticipated research or development, including business and strategic plans; methodologies and methods of doing business; software programs and subroutines; computer source and object code; algorithms; technology; data; formulae; programs; improvements; discoveries; developments, designs, and techniques; manufacturing know-how; product development and other research information; sources of supply; customer and vendor relationships and agreements; information regarding competitors; marketing, sales and expansion plans; financial plans and other financial information; pricing forecasts; cost margin analyses; management agreements; contractual agreements; intellectual property rights; copyrights; and trade secrets, (B) information regarding the personal data, skills and/or compensation of the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ employees, contractors, and any other service providers, (C) any other confidential information of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including any confidential information acquired by the Company or its Affiliates from any predecessor in interest, and (D) any confidential information of third parties to which the Company or its Affiliates has confidentiality obligations and use restrictions; provided, however, that “Confidential Information” does not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Consultant or Principal.

7.Inventions and Intellectual Property.

(a) Consultant has attached as Exhibit 3 a list describing in full detail (or in as much detail as possible, consistent with his obligation (if any) to maintain the confidentiality of other entities’ proprietary materials and trade secrets) all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, patents, and trade secrets which were first conceived, reduced to practice, made or fixed in a tangible form by Consultant prior to the Effective Date, which Consultant now owns or in which Consultant maintains a controlling interest, either directly or indirectly, which relate to any matter, thing process or method connected in any way with the Services and which are not assigned to the Company or any of its designed Affiliates hereunder (collectively referred to as “Prior IP”). If Consultant fails to provide such a list, it shall be presumed that there is no such Prior IP. Consultant will not, without the Company’s or any of its designed Affiliates’ prior written consent, incorporate or permit to be incorporated any Prior IP into any invention, discovery, original work of authorship, development, concept of improvement, trade secret, and all other patent, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property rights created by or behalf of the Company or any of its designed Affiliates (collectively referred to as “New IP”). Nevertheless, if Prior IP at any time (i) is incorporated into the Company or any of its designed Affiliates service, product, process or machine, or (ii) is useful to the Company or any of its designed Affiliates in their respective business, the Company and any of its designed Affiliates, as applicable, is hereby granted a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (A) to reproduce, create derivative works, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally transmit, and otherwise use the applicable Prior IP in any medium or format, whether now known or hereafter discovered, (B) to make, have made, modify, use and sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise exploit any product or service based on, embodying, incorporating, or derived from, in whole or in part, the applicable Prior IP, and (C) to exercise any and all other present or future rights in the applicable Prior IP.

(b)Consultant further agrees that Consultant will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assigns to the Company or its designee all right, title, and interest in and to any and all New IP made, conceived, reduced to practice or developed by Consultant (whether alone or jointly with others), which relates to any matter, thing process or method connected in any way with the Services, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws during the Engagement Period (“Work Product”). Consultant further acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by Consultant (solely or jointly with others, including Principal) within the scope of the Services during the Engagement Period and which are protected by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. If any intellectual property rights, including moral rights, in any Work Product cannot (as a matter of law) be assigned by Consultant to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, then (i) Consultant unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such rights and all claims and causes of action of any kind against the Company or any of its customers, licensees, successors, assigns or nominees with respect to such rights, and (ii) to the extent Consultant cannot (as a matter of law) make such waiver, Consultant unconditionally grant to the Company and its Affiliates an exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license under any and all such intellectual property rights (A) to reproduce, create derivative works, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally transmit, and otherwise use the applicable Work Product in any medium or format, whether now known or hereafter discovered, (B) to make, have made, modify, use and sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise exploit any product or service based on, embodying, incorporating, or derived from, in whole or in part, the applicable Work Product, and (C) to exercise any and all other present or future rights in the applicable Work Product.

(c)Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current written records of all Work Product made by Consultant (solely or jointly with others) during the Engagement Period and to disclose all Work Product promptly to the Company. The records will be in a form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, as applicable, at all times.

(d)Consultant agrees to assist the Company or any of its designated Affiliates or any other their respective designee(s), at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure Company’s or any of its designated Affiliates’ rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any all countries, including the disclosure to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company or any of its designated Affiliates shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights in an order to assign and convey to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, their respective successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in such Work Product, and any copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agree that his obligation to execute or cause to be executed when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument, or papers shall continue after the Termination Date. Consultant will give all reasonable assistance to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, or their respective designee(s), regarding any litigation or controversy in connection with the Work Product, with all expenses incident thereto to be assumed by the Company or any of its designated Affiliates. If the Company or any of its designated

Affiliates is unable because of mental or physical incapacity of Consultant, or for any other reason, to secure Consultant’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyrighted registrations covering Work Product or original works of authorship assigned to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates as above, then Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, as applicable, and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agents and attorney in fact, to act for and in his behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.

(e)Consultant understands that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignments of Work Product to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, as may be amended from time to time (which Code Section, as of the Effective Date, is set forth on the attached as Exhibit 4). Consultant will advise the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, promptly in writing of any inventions that Consultant believes meet the criteria under California Labor Code Section 2870 and are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit 3.

8.Confidential Information of Outside Entities.

(a)Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the Engagement Period, improperly use or disclose any confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of any entities or persons to whom Consultant has confidentiality obligations, with the exception of any such information previously owned or possessed by the Company or its Affiliates, nor shall Consultant cause any such information to enter the servers, email systems, or other physical or electronic premises of the Company or any of its designated Affiliates. Consultant will not bring onto the premises of the Company or any of its designated Affiliates any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

(b)Consultant recognizes that the Company or any of its designated Affiliates has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s or any of its designated Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or entity or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company’s or any of its designated Affiliates’ agreement with such third party.

9.Conflicting Employment. Consultant represents that its engagement with the Company does not and will not breach any agreement with any former employer, contacting party or other third party, including any non-compete agreement or any agreement to keep in confidence or refrain from using information acquired by Consultant prior to the Effective Date. Consultant agrees that, during the Engagement Period, Consultant will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the Business of the Company or any of its designated Affiliates.

10.Returning of Documents. Consultant agrees that after the Termination Date, Consultant will deliver to the Company or any of its designated Affiliates, as applicable, (and will not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) all Confidential Information, including any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, documents or other forms of stored information, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Consultant pursuant to his engagement with the Company or otherwise belonging to or obtained during the Engagement Period. On or promptly after the Termination Date, Consultant shall sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached as Exhibit 5.

11.Notification of New Employer. After the Termination Date, Consultant hereby consents to notification by the Company to any new employer or contracting party of Consultant’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

12.Non-Solicitation. Consultant agrees that during the Engagement Period, and for the period of twenty four months following the Termination Date, for any reason, whether with or without Cause, Consultant shall not either directly or indirectly:

(a)personally or through any other person, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), or take any other action that is intended to induce or encourage, any employee, independent contractor or consultant who worked for or provided services to the Company or any of its Affiliates or who was retained by the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date or during the Engagement Period, to leave his or her employment or service with the Company or any of its Affiliates; or

(b)personally or through any other person, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), or take any other action that is intended to induce or encourage any employee, independent contractor or consultant who worked for or provided services to the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date or during the Engagement Period, to engage in any activity in which Consultant is prohibited from engaging; or

(c)personally or through any other person, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), any of the Company’s clients, vendors, suppliers, independent contractors, owner operators, customers or potential clients, vendors, suppliers, independent contractors, owner operators, customers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, neither (i) the placement of general advertisements that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that are not specifically targeted toward any employee, independent contractor, consultant or owner operator of the Company or its Affiliates, nor (ii) the provision to Consultant, the Principal or any entity controlled by either Consultant or Principal that is not engaged in the Business by Xxxxxx Xxxxx or any entity controlled by Xxxxxx Xxxxx of services shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 12.

13.Prohibition on Use of Confidential Information. Consultant agrees that following the Termination Date for any reason, whether with or without Cause, Consultant shall not at any time, either directly or indirectly, use any Confidential information to:

(a)personally or through any other person, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), or take any other action that is intended to induce or encourage, any employee, independent contractor or consultant, of the Company or its Affiliates to leave his or her employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates; or

(b)personally or through any other person, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), or take any other action that is intended to induce or encourage any employee, consultant, independent contractor or owner operator of the Company or its Affiliates to engage in any activity in which Consultant is prohibited from engaging in; or

(c)personally or through any other person, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away (on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person), any of the Company’s then-current or potential clients, vendors, suppliers, independent contractors, owner/operators or customers.

14.Representations and Acknowledgments.

(a)Consultant acknowledge that the foregoing restrictions will not prevent Consultant from obtaining gainful engagements in his occupation or field of expertise or cause Consultant undue hardship; and that there are numerous other employment and business opportunities available to Consultant that are not affected by the foregoing restrictions. Consultant further acknowledge that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Company’s and its Affiliates’ legitimate interest, and that any violation thereof would result in serious and irreparable injury to the Company and/or its Affiliates.

(b)Consultant agrees to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Consultant represents that he has not entered into, and agrees that he will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict with this Agreement.

(e)Consultant acknowledges that new fair and valuable consideration has been given by the Company and received by Consultant including being engaged by the Company. Such consideration being adequate and sufficient to bind Consultant to all of the covenants made by Consultant under this Agreement.

15.Equitable Relief. Consultant agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Company’s or its Affiliates’ damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that if Consultant breaches the provisions of this Agreement, the Company or any of its designated Affiliates will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach and/or ordering specific performance of any such provisions of the Agreement. Consultant further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief, and Consultant hereby consent to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance.

16.Non-Disparagement.

17.Further Assurances and Cooperation. During and after the Engagement Period, Consultant agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its Affiliates to, at the Company’s cost (a) apply for, obtain, perfect and transfer to the Company (or one of its Affiliate) the Work Product as well as any rights in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world, and (b) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including executing and delivering to the Company (or one of its Affiliates) any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested by the Company. Consultant hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on Consultant’s behalf in his name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company (or one of its Affiliates) and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if Consultant does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by Consultant’s subsequent incapacity.

18.General Provisions.

Any assignment in violation of this Section 18(c) shall be invalid and without effect.

(d)Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, enforced under and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without the application of any applicable conflict of law provisions.

This Part Time Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of December 7, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Deco Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”) and Garage Networks, Inc., a California corporation (“Consultant”). The Company and Consultant are referred to from time to time in this Agreement, individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

Background

Reference is hereby made to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the Effective Date, by and among Xxxxx Xxxxx Intermodal, Inc., d/b/a Universal Intermodal Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Universal Intermodal”), Xxxxxx Xxxxx (“Sweet”), The Xxxxxxx Family Special Needs Gift Trust, dated July 18, 2014, Xxxxx X.

Xxxxx is the sole shareholder of Consultant.

Sweet and Consultant will directly and indirectly benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

Company desires Consultant to provide information technology services to the Company as described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Services”).

To facilitate Consultant’s ability to provide Services, Consultant has licensed the (i) Solarwinds MSP N-Central software solution (commonly known as N-able) for network remote management and monitoring services, and (ii) a software solution commonly known as Appriver spam filtering services (the “Software”).

The terms and conditions of Consultant’s license of the Software authorize and allow Consultant to sublicense the Software for use by employees of the Company.

The effective date of the termination or expiration of this Agreement is referred to as the “Termination Date”.

(b)Consultant may engage other clients during the Engagement Period; provided, however, that Consultant shall make the Services under this Agreement its first priority and work for other clients shall not interfere with its availability to provide the Services required by this Agreement.

2.Services and Responsibilities.

(a)During the Engagement Period, Consultant shall provide to the Company and its Affiliate the Services, as may be modified only by the written agreement of the Parties.

(b)Consultant shall provide Services during normal business hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm daily, Monday through Friday, Company holidays excepted (referred to as “Business Hours”).

The exception provided in clause (iii) above, however, shall not apply to any employee or former employee of the Company or its Affiliate whose annual salary at the time of his or her termination of employment (for whatever reason) was equal to or greater than $75,000 (i.e. Consultant, directly or indirectly, shall not offer employment or engagement to, nor hire or engage, any such person).

(d)Both during and after Consultant’s engagement with the Company, Consultant and Sweet will retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and in compliance with the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge or communicate in any manner the Confidential Information Consultant or Sweet has acquired during the engagement with the Company to any third person, nor will Consultant or Sweet use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company or its Affiliate.

Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Consultant shall return to the Company immediately, and not retain, all Confidential Information, documents, images, or audio/video recordings or other data that contain Confidential Information, whether in electronic form or hard copy, and all copies thereof, and to provide written verification that Consultant has complied in full with this requirement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Consultant or Sweet may disclose, without violating the terms of this Agreement, Confidential Information that Consultant is specifically required by court order, subpoena or law to disclose, but Consultant agrees to disclose only that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, provided, however, prior to any such disclose, Consultant shall provide the Company prompt

written notice of any such court order, subpoena, or grounds requiring such disclosure, and will cooperate with the Company in seeking confidentiality protections or resisting such compulsion as requested by the Company at the Company’s sole cost and expense.

(f)As required by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), 18 U.S.C.

publicly display, digitally transmit, and otherwise use the applicable New IP in any medium or format, whether now known or hereafter discovered, (B) to make, have made, modify, use and sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise exploit any product or service based on, embodying, incorporating, or derived from, in whole or in part, the applicable New IP, and (C) to exercise any and all other present or future rights in the applicable New IP.

(c)Consultant and Sweet agree to maintain adequate and current written records of all New IP made by Consultant or Sweet (solely or jointly with others) during the Engagement Period and to disclose all New IP promptly to the Company.
