The Employment Agreement shall entitle the Seller to an annual base salary of $50,000.00, and common stock of the Purchaser in an amount to be agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser which shall vest over the Term. Additionally, the Employment Agreement shall entitle the Seller to scaled compensation based on the profit and loss of the Companies as set forth in the Term Sheet dated March 28, 2017 substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(b) Within Ten (10) days of the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall issue a promissory note in favor of the Seller in the amount of $830,000 (the “Note”) evidencing the amounts previously loaned by Seller to the Companies in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(c) In order to ensure that Seller has a good faith ability to achieve the scaled compensation referenced in Section 5.01(a) above and Exhibit A, Purchaser agrees that it will not burden the Companies with any type of unreasonable additional cost, fees, overhead or similar charges that are not directly related to the on-going business of the Companies during the term of the Employment Agreement.

Section 5.02 Public Announcements.

(a) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller shall consult with the other prior to issuing any press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, neither Seller, the Companies nor Purchaser, shall issue any press release or other announcement (to the extent not previously publicly disclosed or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction without the prior consent of the other parties hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such press release or other announcement may be required by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of a national securities exchange, in which case the party required to issue the release or make the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance.

Section 5.03 Preservation of Records. Seller shall transfer all of the records of the Companies to the Purchaser. In the event any records of the Companies are not transferrable, the Seller shall make such records and personnel available, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business, to the other as may be reasonably requested by such party in accordance with this Section 5.04. Requests may be made under this Section 5.05 only to (a) facilitate the preparation for or the prosecution, defense, or disposition of any Proceeding (other than any Proceeding between or among any of the parties hereto or any Indemnified Party) or (b) prepare and file other documents or reports required by any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither party shall be required to make any such records or personnel available to the extent such party determines, in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel), that doing so would (i) violate Applicable Law, (ii) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party or (iii) constitute a waiver of attorney-client privilege (it being agreed that such party shall give notice to the other party of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above and thereafter the parties shall reasonably cooperate (including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement) to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection or violate the applicable restriction). After the Effective Date, Seller shall not have access to personnel records of the Companies relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information, the disclosure of which would result in the violation of Applicable Law. In the event Seller or Purchaser wishes to destroy such records after that time, such party shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within such 90-day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

At least 20 days prior to the date on which any such Tax Return is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Companies shall deliver such Tax Return to Purchaser. No later than five days prior to the date on which such Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Purchaser, after reasonable consultation with the Companies, may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Tax Return. The Companies shall not file such Tax Return without the consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Purchaser and the Companies shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing authority. Seller and the Companies shall deliver or make available to Purchaser on the Closing Date, originals or accurate copies of all such books and records.

If, subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser or the Companies receives notice of a Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Return”) with respect to which Indemnified Parties claim a right to indemnification under this Agreement, then within 10 days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall notify Seller and the Companies of such notice; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Seller and the Companies shall not limit any of the obligations of Seller under Article 7 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Tax Contest or materially increases the Seller’s liability). Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest, provided that Purchaser shall keep Seller and the Companies reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis, shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the Seller and the Companies in connection with the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest and Purchaser shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the Companies’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement without Seller’s or the Companies’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. “Tax Contest” means any audit, other administrative proceeding or inquiry by a Government Authority, or judicial proceeding, in each case relating to the relevant Tax Return.

Section 7.03 Limitations for Indemnification Obligations.

(a) No party shall be liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties, until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties, or to which any one or more of the Indemnified Parties has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds an amount equal to U.S. $50,000 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate (it being understood that if the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, then the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for such Damages that are in excess of the Deductible).

(b) Absent fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 7 are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Damages any Indemnifying Party may be liable for arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction (it being understood that nothing in this Section 7.03(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights to specific performance with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing).

(iv) no delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the Expiration Date shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party, in good faith, objects to any claim made by the Indemnified Party in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party in the Officer’s Claim Certificate.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(d) If no such resolution can be reached during the 30-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 30-day period, then the matter will be handled under the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement.

If the Indemnifying Party elects to so proceed with the defense of any such Claim:

(a) Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Claim, or, in the event the delivery of such documents and materials would (i) violate Applicable Law or (ii) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party or (iii) constitute a waiver of Indemnified Party’s attorney-client privilege, Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall provide summaries, excerpts or any other information in connection with such documents and materials to the maximum extent legally permissible and shall use reasonable efforts to assist and participate in such defense (at its own expense, which amount shall not constitute “Damages” of Indemnified Party, as applicable) as it relates to such materials and documents; and

(b) The party assuming the defense of any such Claim shall not enter into settlement of any Claim without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 8.13 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Negotiation: The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy, dispute, claim or question arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation its interpretation, performance or non-performance by either party, termination, or any breach thereof (hereinafter, collectively “Controversy”) promptly by negotiation between designated representatives of the parties who have authority to settle the Controversy and do not have direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. The disputing party shall give the other party written notice of the Controversy and the designated representatives will meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputing party’s notice and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Controversy.

(b) Mediation: If the Controversy has not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the disputing party’s notice, or the party receiving the notice will not meet within thirty (30) days, either party may, upon written notice by one party to the other, initiate mediation of the Controversy in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this section. The parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable mediator, seeking assistance in this regard from the American Arbitration Association if they are unable to agree upon such appointment within twenty (20) days of the notice of mediation. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations thereto for a period of thirty (30) days after the appointment of the mediator. The parties shall share equally the cost of the mediation.

(c) Binding Arbitration: If the Controversy has not been resolved by mediation within thirty (60) days of the appointment of the mediator, or if a mediator is not appointed within thirty (30) days of the notice of mediation, upon written notice, either party may elect to submit the Controversy to binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted before one arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the AAA. The arbitrator must be licensed to practice law and be a member of the AAA. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Dallas, Texas as promptly as practicable, the appointment of the arbitrator.

(d) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, either Party shall be entitled to apply to a court for injunctive or other equitable relief in any case involving a breach or alleged breach by the other Party of any obligations set out in this Agreement relating to the use, protection or confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information of the Party seeking such injunctive or other equitable relief. Despite such action the parties will continue to participate in good faith in this Dispute Resolution process. The initiation of the Dispute Resolution process shall toll the running of the statute of limitations for any cause of action arising from the Controversy. All time limitations contained in the Dispute Resolution sections above, may be altered by mutual agreement of the parties to protect the proprietary or confidential information of the party seeking such relief.
