Section 2.7 Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) Following the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver within ninety (90) days following January 1, 2022 to Sinclair a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of: (i) the actual Working Capital as of the Calculation Time (the “Actual Working Capital”); (ii) the actual amount of Indebtedness of the Companies as of the Closing (the “Actual Indebtedness”); (iii) the actual amount of Cash of the Companies as of the Calculation Time (the “Actual Cash”); (iv) the amount of Transaction Expenses of the Companies as of the Closing (the “Actual Transaction Expenses”); and (v) the actual amount of Eligible Net Revenues of the Acquired Subsidiaries with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Actual 2021 Eligible Net Revenues”).

(b) The Post-Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the applicable definitions set forth herein. Within thirty (30) days after delivery to Sinclair of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Dispute Period”), Sinclair shall be required to notify Buyer in writing and with reasonable specificity (the “Dispute Notice”) of any disputed items with respect to the Post-Closing Statement. Sinclair shall be deemed to have waived any claim with respect to any amount not specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice delivered within the Dispute Period. Upon delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Buyer shall provide Sinclair and its agents and representatives with reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent available) during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Acquired Subsidiaries and Buyer and access to such personnel or representatives of the Acquired Subsidiaries and Buyer, including to the individuals responsible for preparing the Post-Closing Statement, as they may reasonably require for the sole purpose of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Post-Closing Statement.

(c) Upon receipt of the Dispute Notice and for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Dispute Notice by Buyer, or such longer period as mutually agreed by Buyer and Sinclair (the “Resolution Period”), Buyer shall negotiate with Sinclair in good faith to resolve such disputed items; provided, however, in the event that Buyer and Sinclair are unable to resolve any such disputed items within the Resolution Period, the determination of any such unresolved disputed items with respect to the Post-Closing Statement shall be made by a mutually acceptable independent valuation firm of regional or national standing (the “Financial Arbitrator”). The Financial Arbitrator shall act as an independent arbitrator to determine within thirty (30) days of its engagement, based solely on the presentations by Sinclair and Buyer and not by independent review, only those issues that remain in dispute from the Dispute Notice, and such determination by the Financial Arbitrator must be within the range of values assigned to such disputed items in the Post-Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, respectively. The basis of the Financial Arbitrator’s determination must be based solely on the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Neither Sinclair nor Buyer (and none of their respective representatives) shall have any ex parte conversation(s) or meeting(s) with the Financial Arbitrator without the prior written consent of (x) with respect to Sinclair, Buyer and (y) with respect to Buyer, Sinclair. Upon final resolution of all disputed items, the Financial Arbitrator shall issue a report showing its final calculation of such disputed items. Absent fraud or manifest error, the determination of the Financial Arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on Sinclair, the Members and Buyer, and the fees and expenses of the Financial Arbitrator shall be borne by the Members (on the one hand) and Buyer (on the other hand) in proportion to the amounts by which their proposals differed from the Financial Arbitrator’s final determination. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Financial Arbitrator award $600 in favor of Buyer’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Members, and 40% of the costs would be borne by Buyer. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, each Party (the Members on the one hand and Buyer on the other) shall pay its own fees and expenses, legal, accounting and consultant fees and expenses.

(d) The post-Closing adjustments to the Closing Cash Payment shall be calculated and made as follows:

(i) If the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Actual Working Capital (the amount of such excess, the “Proceeds Excess”), then, the Members shall pay an amount equal to the Proceeds Excess to Buyer. If the Actual Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Members an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Working Capital and the Estimated Working Capital.

(ii) If the Estimated Indebtedness is greater than the Actual Indebtedness, then Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Members an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Indebtedness and the Actual Indebtedness. If the Actual Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Indebtedness, then the Members shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Indebtedness and the Estimated Indebtedness.

(iii) If the Actual Cash is greater than the Estimated Cash, then Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Members an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Cash and the Actual Cash. If the Estimated Cash is greater than the Actual Cash, then the Members shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Cash and the Estimated Cash.

(iv) If the Estimated Transaction Expenses are greater than the Actual Transaction Expenses, then Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Members an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Transaction Expenses and the Actual Transaction Expenses. If the Actual Transaction Expenses are greater than the Estimated Transaction Expenses, then the Members shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Transaction Expenses.

(v) If the Actual 2021 Eligible Net Revenues are greater than the Estimated 2021 Eligible Net Revenues, then the Buyer shall pay and issue to the Members an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between the Actual 2021 Eligible Net Revenues and the Estimated 2021 Eligible Net Revenues, multiplied by (ii) 1.3.

(e) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i) through Section 2.7(d)(iv) shall be defined as a “True-Up Payment”. The Parties shall aggregate each of the undisputed True-Up Payments required to be made, if any, pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i) through Section 2.7(d)(iv) to determine an aggregate True-Up Payment in favor of Buyer or the Members, as applicable (the “Aggregate True-Up Payment”). The Aggregate True-Up Payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after resolution of the amount of such Aggregate True-Up Payment during the Resolution Period or resolution by the Financial Arbitrator, as applicable. The Aggregate True-Up Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the recipient Party.

(f) A Buyer favorable Aggregate True-Up Payment shall be made (i) first, from the then available amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account (and Sinclair and Buyer will promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent therefor), (ii) second, in the event the Adjustment Escrow Account has been exhausted or disbursed, by deducting Holdback Buyer Shares pursuant to Section 2.9 (valued at the VWAP Price), (iii) third, in the event the Adjustment Escrow Account has been exhausted or disbursed and all Holdback Buyer Shares have been deducted, from the then available amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account, and (iv) fourth, in the event the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Indemnity Escrow Account have both been exhausted or disbursed and all Holdback Buyer Shares have been deducted, directly from the Members subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.2(c)(vii). In the event that there are any funds remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account following satisfaction of any Aggregate True-Up Payments pursuant to the foregoing subclause (i), then Buyer and Sinclair shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Members any such amounts then remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2.7(h).

(g) If the Aggregate True-Up Payment is in favor of the Members: (i) Buyer shall cause the amount of such Aggregate True-Up Payment to be paid to the Members in accordance with Section 2.7(h); and (ii) Buyer and Sinclair shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Members an amount equal to the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2.7(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of an Aggregate True-Up Payment that is attributable to an adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(v) shall be made in cash and in shares of Buyer Common Stock (such shares, the “True-Up Buyer Shares”), with the respective values of such cash and True-Up Buyer Shares being equal in proportion to the ratio of the Closing Cash Amount and the Closing Buyer Shares, with the value of each True-Up Buyer Share and Closing Buyer Share being equal to the VWAP Price for purposes of such calculation.

(h) Any cash payments to be made to the Members under Section 2.7(g) shall be made in U.S. dollars and shall be paid as follows: the portion of such payment payable to the Members shall be delivered by or on behalf of Buyer to the Members (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Sinclair) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(i) Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to withhold and set off against any amount otherwise due to be paid to the Members pursuant to this Section 2.7 the amount of any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which Buyer may be entitled under this Agreement.

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, taking into account any the Aggregate True-Up Payment in favor of the Members pursuant to this Section 2.7 and valuing each Buyer Share at the VWAP Price, exceed the Maximum Purchase Price.

Section 2.8 Escrow Amounts.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer and the Members shall enter into the Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Buyer will deposit with the Escrow Agent (i) the Indemnity Escrow Amount into the Indemnity Escrow Account, and (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount into the Adjustment Escrow Account.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Date”) for the purpose of securing the Members’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.2(a) and payment obligations set forth in Section 2.7(f), and (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until such time as required to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.7, for the purpose of securing payment of any Aggregate True-Up Payment to Buyer.

(c) In accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the Indemnity Escrow Release Date, Sinclair and Buyer shall deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Amount”) equal to (i) the then-remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all indemnity claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Indemnity Escrow Release Date (collectively, the “Pending Claims”) that remain unresolved as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Indemnity Escrow Release Date. Sinclair and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release and pay the Indemnity Escrow Release Amount to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(d) Following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date, promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the final resolution of, and, if applicable payment to Buyer in connection with, each Pending Claim, Sinclair and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release and pay an aggregate amount equal to (i) the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, minus (ii) the total amount of Pending Claims that remain unresolved as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of the resolution of such Pending Claim to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(e) The Parties agree to treat the Members as the owners of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and shall take no contrary position unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, and the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Members (which portion shall be a Transaction Expense for all purposes hereunder).

Section 2.9 Holdback Shares. The applicable portion of the Holdback Buyer Shares shall be delivered to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, subject to the terms of this Section 2.9. Without limitation to the rights and remedies of Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to satisfy (i) the amount of any Aggregate True-Up Payment owed to it pursuant to Section 2.7, and (ii) the amount of any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which Buyer may be entitled under this Agreement, in each case by deducting from the Holdback Buyer Shares, a number of shares equal in value to such Aggregate True-Up Payment, claim for indemnification or payment of damages, with the value of each Holdback Buyer Share for such purpose to be equal to the VWAP Price.

Section 2.10 Tax Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price, the Transaction Expenses and any other payments contemplated by this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made. At the Closing, or at such time thereafter as reasonably requested by Buyer, each Member shall provide Buyer an IRS Form W-9 or other certificates or forms that Buyer may reasonably request in order to allow Buyer to meet its withholding and information reporting obligations under any applicable Law. The Parties shall cooperate to allow Buyer, at its election, to effectuate such withholding by means reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Except with respect to compensatory payments, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Sinclair of any amounts subject to withholding at least one (1) Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such payment. The Parties shall cooperate to allow Buyer, at its election, to effectuate such withholding by means reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall work in good faith with Sinclair to minimize any such withheld amounts.

Section 2.11 Treatment of Rights Units. Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, Sinclair shall take all actions necessary to cause: (i) each holder of Rights Units to waive all rights to and claims with respect to awards under the Bonus Plan, and (ii) each outstanding Rights Unit, whether or not vested or exercisable at the Effective Time, to be cancelled, extinguished and no longer outstanding. Each holder of Rights Units will be entitled to receive, upon the surrender and cancellation of his or her then outstanding Rights Units and delivery of an executed termination agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (collectively, the “Rights Unit Termination Agreements”), an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Per Unit Amount, multiplied by (ii) the number of Rights Units held by such holder (the aggregate amount payable to all holders of Rights Units is referred to as the “Rights Unit Consideration”), which amount shall be deemed a Transaction Expense hereunder. Each applicable Company employing holders of Rights Units shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each of the holders of the Rights Units, such holder’s share of the Rights Unit Consideration determined pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Plan, subject to any withholding required by applicable Tax Law.

(b) understands that (i) Buyer Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Buyer Shares are being issued pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Buyer’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Members in this Agreement, and that the Buyer Shares must be held by such Member indefinitely, and that the Member must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each certificate or book entry representing the Buyer Shares will be endorsed with the following legend until the earlier of (1) the Buyer Shares have been registered for resale by such Member or (2) the date the Buyer Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

Section 4.6 No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. Each Member understands that nothing in the Buyer SEC Documents, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to such Member in connection with the Members’ acquisition of the Buyer Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Member has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its acquisition of Buyer Shares.

Each Member acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person.

Section 4.8 Limited Ownership. The acquisition of the Buyer Shares issuable to the Members at the Closing as provided herein will not result in any Member (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom such Member has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving Buyer’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock or voting power of the Buyer on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Each Member does not presently intend to, along or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other persons or entities have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Buyer that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock or the voting power of the Buyer on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred.

Section 4.9 No Short Position.

Thus, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge with respect to the Released Claims, each Member expressly acknowledges that this release is intended to include in its effect all Actions and Liabilities in respect of a Released Claim which each Member does not know of or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of signing this release, and that this release contemplates the release of any such Actions or Liabilities. In no event shall any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, Buyer or their respective Affiliates have any Liability whatsoever to any Member for any breaches of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of any Member or Sinclair hereunder, and in no event may any Member seek contribution or indemnification from any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, Buyer or their respective Affiliates in respect of any such breach.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member or any Related Party releases any claim of such Member or any other Related Party with respect to (i) any obligation of Sinclair or any right of the Members under Organizational Documents of Sinclair, (ii) any obligation of any Released Person (including, but not limited to the Acquired Subsidiaries after the Closing) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (iii) any rights of such Member (or any other Related Party) under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document; (iv) any rights of such Member (or any Related Party) as a director, employee or officer of the Acquired Subsidiaries for any unpaid compensation or benefits earned in the Ordinary Course of Business of the Acquired Subsidiaries, any rights to reimbursement for Ordinary Course of Business expenses or the rights to continue to participate in the Acquired Subsidiaries’ benefits, if applicable; (v) any Fraud by any Released Person, and (v) any right to indemnification from Sinclair for acts conducted on behalf of Sinclair or the Companies by the Member as a managing member, manager, director or officer of the Company or the Subsidiaries as provided under the Organizational Documents of Sinclair.

Section 7.6 Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) From and after the Closing, Sinclair and each Member shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Companies, except to the extent that such Member can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Members, any of their Affiliates or their respective representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by such Member, any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Member or any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Member shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Member is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Member shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each of Nicholas Tennant, Julie Kearney, Lee Kearney, and Mary Babitz (“Key Employee Members”) shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between any of the Acquired Subsidiaries and customers or suppliers of the Acquired Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Key Employee Member may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if such Key Employee Member is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(c) During the Restricted Period, each Key Employee Member shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of the Acquired Subsidiaries, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.6(c) shall prevent any Key Employee Member or any of its Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Acquired Subsidiaries or Buyer or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(d) During the Restricted Period, each Key Employee Member shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of any Acquired Subsidiary or potential clients or customers of any Acquired Subsidiary for purposes of diverting their business or services from such Acquired Subsidiary.

(e) Each Member acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.6 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Member of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(f) Each Member acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 7.6 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 7.6 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(g) For purposes of this Section 7.6 only, the term “Business” shall specifically exclude any non-cannabis, non-hemp products or services such as life sciences, air and space, or pharmaceuticals. The following members and activities are also specifically excluded from this Section 7.6: (i) Dan Sheldon will continue to be the CEO and operate Sheldon Manufacturing; (ii) Jim Dawson will continue to be the CEO of and operate Heidolph NA, and (iii) Lee Kearney will continue to be the general manager of and permitted to manage and operate AGI North America, nor shall this Section 7.6 prohibit such Key Employees from expanding their roles or receiving and/or holding ownership or other equity compensation from their respective companies.

(h) Buyer acknowledge that Jim Abbott is an employee of Cascade and an employee of AGI North America. Nothing herein prohibit AGI North America from continuing to employ Jim Abbott or from expanding Jim Abott’s role at AGI North America.

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Members shall not, and shall not authorize, and shall cause Sinclair, the Acquired Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, encourage or otherwise entertain any inquiries, proposals or offers from, any person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) relating to any transaction or series of related transactions involving (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, conversion, recapitalization, refinancing, liquidation or acquisition of any of the Companies, (ii) a sale of any assets of any of the Companies, (iii) a direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of any capital stock or other Equity Securities of any of the Companies, or (iv) any similar transaction or business combination involving any of the Companies (each of the above, an “Alternative Transaction”); (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or enter into any agreement with any person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) in connection with an Alternative Transaction; or (c) accept any proposal or offer from any person (other than Buyer or one of its Affiliates) relating to an Alternative Transaction. Sinclair will promptly notify Buyer if any of the Members, any of the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates receives any such inquiries, proposals or offers and provide Buyer with a copy of any written correspondence, proposals or offers and, in the case of any such oral inquiries, proposals or offers, a summary of the material terms thereof.

Section 7.8 Consents. For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, if any consent, approval or authorization necessary to preserve any right or benefit under any Contract to which any of the Acquired Subsidiaries is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Sinclair and the Members shall, subsequent to the Closing, reasonably cooperate with Buyer and the Acquired Subsidiaries in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable.

Section 7.9 Notice of Certain Events. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sinclair shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of: (i) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by the Members hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 to be satisfied; (ii) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) any Actions commenced or, to the Companies’ Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting any Member or any of the Companies that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.9 or that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.10 Lock-Up Restrictions.

(a) As a material inducement to each of the parties to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Sinclair and, to the extent the Buyer Shares are distributed by Sinclair to the Members, each Member, hereby irrevocably agrees that, subject to the exceptions set forth herein, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Sinclair and each such Member will not:

(i) with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Buyer Shares received by Sinclair or such Member hereunder, Transfer any such Buyer Shares during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date;

(ii) with respect to the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Buyer Shares received by Sinclair or such Member hereunder, Transfer any such Buyer Shares during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; or

(iii) at any time following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Transfer any Buyer Shares received by Sinclair or such Member hereunder to the extent that, together with any other Transfers of Buyer Shares made by Sinclair or such Member during the preceding ninety (90) calendar days, Sinclair or such Member would have Transferred more than 25% of the Buyer Shares received by Sinclair such Member hereunder during such period.

For purposes of this Section 7.10, “Transfer” shall mean, with respect to Buyer Shares, any offer, pledge, sale, contract to sell, sale of any option or contract to purchase, purchase of any option or contract to sell, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, such Buyer Shares, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, grant, transfer or disposition, or entering into any swap, short sale, hedge or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Member’s Buyer Shares.

(b) The restrictions and obligations set forth in this Section 7.10 shall not apply to Transfers of Buyer Shares:

(i) if such Member is a natural person, (1) to any person related to such Member by blood or adoption who is an immediate family member of such Member, or by marriage or domestic partnership (a “Family Member”), or to a trust formed for the benefit of such Member or any of such Member’s Family Members, (2) to such Member’s estate, following the death of such Member, by will, other testamentary document, intestacy or other operation of law, (3) by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, or (4) for bona fide financial and estate planning purposes, including to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Member or Family Member of such Member; or

(ii) if such Member is a trust, to any grantors or beneficiaries, or the estate of any such beneficiary, of the trust;

provided that, in the case of any Transfer by a Member pursuant to this Section 7.10(b), such Transfer is not for value and each donee, heir, beneficiary or other transferee or distribute shall sign and deliver to Buyer a lock-up agreement with respect to the Buyer Shares that have been so Transferred or distributed that is consistent with the terms of this Section 7.10.

(c) Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 7.10 will be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 7.10, and will not be recorded on the share register of Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sinclair and each Member agrees that Buyer and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration and transfer of the Buyer Shares are hereby authorized to decline to make any Transfer of Buyer Shares if such Transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Section 7.10.

Section 7.11 Merger Sub. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall duly form Merger Sub as a limited liability company in Michigan, and shall cause Merger Sub to accede to this Agreement by executing a joinder hereto. Merger Sub shall be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer and shall be a disregarded entity for Tax purposes.

Section 7.12 Transferred Assets. Prior to the Closing, Sinclair shall cause PEC to sell, assign, convey and/or transfer all of the Transferred Assets to Precision. At the Closing, neither PEC nor Export shall hold any asset or Liability or be a party to any contractual rights or obligations.

Section 7.13 R&W Insurance Policy. Within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing, Sinclair may, at its option, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and bind a buyer-side R&W Insurance Policy on terms and conditions satisfactory to Buyer. The R&W Insurance Policy must fully insure Buyer for all representations and warranties made by Sinclair and/or the Members herein with an aggregate coverage limit of at least $10,000,000, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, obtaining and binding an R&W Insurance Policy shall not relieve the Members of any indemnification obligations (i) with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations of Sinclair or the Members, or (ii) pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii), Section 10.2(a)(iii), Section 10.2(a)(iv) and/or Section 10.2(a)(v). Sinclair shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions, retention amount and other fees and expenses of such policy. Additionally, Sinclair shall reimburse any legal, accounting or consulting fees reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection its assistance in obtaining an R&W Insurance Policy, up to an aggregate amount of $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy is not a condition to the Closing, and that failure to obtain an R&W Insurance Policy shall not in any way limit any indemnification obligations pursuant to Article X. In the event that an R&W Insurance Policy is obtained and bound within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing, Buyer and Sinclair shall (A) within five (5) Business Days following the date when the Aggregate True-Up Payment is made pursuant to Section 2.7, issue all remaining Holdback Buyer Shares to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, and (B) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the release from the Indemnity Escrow Account and distribution to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions an amount equal to the remainder of (i) the then-remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, minus (ii) the amount of the applicable retention under such R&W Insurance Policy, to be used for purposes of paying such retention amount in accordance with such R&W Insurance Policy, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of all indemnity claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms hereof that remain unresolved as of date when the R&W Insurance Policy is obtained and bound, minus (iv) an amount to be determined in good faith by Buyer equal to the amount of potential Losses for which the Members are required to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) but that are excluded from coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy. The amount retained in the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) shall remain in such account through the Indemnity Escrow Release Date and released pursuant to Section 2.8(d).

Section 7.14 Post-Closing Support. Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Company following Closing; provided, however, that between Closing and December 31, 2021, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith that have the primary purpose of causing the Companies to not operate in the Ordinary Course of Business or of deferring, delaying or impairing Eligible Net Revenues.

Section 7.15 Sinclair. Neither the Members nor Sinclair shall dissolve or permit the dissolution or liquidation of Sinclair during the 24 month period after Closing, without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Article VIII

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1 Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) Sinclair shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, at Sinclair’s sole cost and expense, all Tax Returns of Sinclair and each of the other Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are not Straddle Periods. All such returns shall be true, correct and complete and accurately set forth all items to the extent required to be reflected or included in such returns by applicable law. All such returns shall be prepared on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which Sinclair and the other Companies prepared or filed such Tax Returns for prior periods and this Agreement, except to the extent not permitted under applicable Law. The Members shall provide copies of each such Tax Return to Buyer for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline and shall make any changes reasonably requested by Buyer with respect thereto. Sinclair shall arrange for the filing of such Tax Returns. The Members shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes due pursuant to such Tax Returns.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the Acquired Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods which are not described in Section 8.1(a) and are filed after the Closing Date. To the extent necessary, the Members and Sinclair shall cooperate with Buyer in timely filing each Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 8.1(b). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Acquired Subsidiaries to the extent in compliance with applicable Law. Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of all such Tax Returns to Sinclair for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of any such Tax Return, and shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided by Sinclair with respect thereto. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing any Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), the Members shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer or its designee all Taxes of the Acquired Subsidiaries shown as due and payable on such Tax Returns, subject to application of Section 8.2.

Section 8.2 Straddle Periods. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period relating to:

(a) Periodic Taxes of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, the determination of the Taxes of such Acquired Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by allocating to the periods before and after the Closing Date pro rata, based on the number of days of the Straddle Period in the period before and ending on the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days in the Straddle Period in the period after the Closing Date, on the other hand; and

(b) Taxes of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries not described in Section 8.2(a) (such as (A) Taxes based on the income or receipts of the Members of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period, (B) Taxes imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (including all sales and use Taxes) for a Straddle Period, other than Transfer Taxes described in Section 8.5, and (C) withholding and employment Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), the determination of the Taxes of the Members of the Acquired Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Acquired Subsidiaries for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Acquired Subsidiaries were closed at the close of the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which Sinclair holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time).

Section 8.3 Cooperation; Procedures Relating to Tax Claims. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.3, Buyer and the Members shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with (i) the filing of Tax Returns, (ii) any Action with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns and (iii) the preparation of any financial statements to the extent related to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention, and (upon the other party’s request) the provision, of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that the party requesting assistance shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the party providing such assistance; provided, further, no party shall be required to provide assistance at times or in amounts that would interfere unreasonably with the business and operations of such party.

Section 8.4 Tax Contests.

(a) Buyer shall deliver a notice to Sinclair in writing promptly following any Action with respect to any income Tax Return of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or Taxes of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and Straddle Period for which the Members may reasonably expect to be liable (“Tax Contest”) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by Buyer) the facts constituting the basis for such Tax Contest and the nature of the relief sought, if any (the “Tax Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure or delay to so notify Sinclair shall not relieve the Members of any obligation or liability that the Members may have to Buyer.

(b) Buyer shall control any Tax Contest; provided, however, that (A) Sinclair, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (B) Buyer shall not allow any of the Acquired Subsidiaries to settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates solely to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the consent of Sinclair (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (C) Buyer shall not amend any filed Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or file or caused to be filed any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the consent of Sinclair (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 8.5 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, gains, stamp, registration, value added and other similar Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the purchase and sale of any of the Companies and any deemed transfers of the Companies or the assets of any of the Companies) (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the Members. Buyer shall, and the Members shall cooperate with Buyer to, timely file or cause to be filed all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes required by applicable Law.

Section 8.6 Tax Treatment of Cascade Purchase; Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) For U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and any similar provision of state and local law), the Parties hereto agree that Buyer shall be treated as acquiring the assets of Cascade for cash and other taxable consideration from Sinclair in a transaction governed by Code Section 1001. Buyer and Sinclair agree to allocate the final Closing Cash Amount allocable to the purchase of the Purchased Interests (together with any Aggregate True-Up Payment and other amounts required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) (“Allocable Amount”) consistent with the allocation methodology as provided on Schedule 8.6 hereto (“Allocation Methodology”). Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare a schedule of its proposed allocations of the Allocable Amount among the assets of Cascade consistent with the Allocation Methodology (the “Allocation Schedule”) and shall deliver such Allocation Schedule to Sinclair for its review and approval. Buyer shall consider all reasonable comments provided by Sinclair in good faith.

(b) Within the Dispute Period (as defined in Section 2.7), Sinclair shall be required to notify Buyer in writing and with reasonable specificity (the “Tax Allocation Dispute Notice”) of any disputed items with respect to the Allocation Schedule. Upon receipt of the Tax Allocation Dispute Notice and for the Resolution Period (as defined in Section 2.7), Buyer shall negotiate with Sinclair in good faith to resolve such disputed items; provided, however, in the event that Buyer and Sinclair are unable to resolve any such disputed items within the Resolution Period, the determination of any such unresolved disputed items with respect to the Allocation Schedule shall be made by a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of regional or national standing (the “Tax Arbitrator”). The Tax Arbitrator shall act as an independent arbitrator to determine within thirty (30) days of its engagement, based solely on the presentations by Sinclair and Buyer and not by independent review, only those issues that remain in dispute from the Dispute Notice. The basis of the Tax Arbitrator’s determination must be based solely on the Allocation Methodology and other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Upon final determination of all disputed items, the Tax Arbitrator shall issue a report showing such final determination with respect to any disputed items. Absent fraud or manifest error, the determination of the Tax Arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Members (on the one hand) and Buyer (on the other hand). The agreed-upon Allocation Schedule, taking into account any items finally determined by the Tax Arbitrator, shall become the “Allocation” for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Buyer and Members each agree that: (i) they shall file (or shall cause to be filed) all Tax Returns and forms consistent with the Allocation and each shall provide copies to the other party of its Internal Revenue Form 8594; (ii) in the event that any Governmental Authority disputes the Allocation, Members or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute, and shall cooperate in good faith to preserve the effectiveness of the Allocation, to the extent consistent with the law and final decisions of such Governmental Authority (provided, however, that nothing herein shall require a party to contest the decision of a Governmental Authority in court proceedings or to appeal a court ruling to a court of higher instance); (iii) any subsequent adjustments to the Closing Cash Amount allocable to the purchase of the Purchased Interests shall be treated in a manner consistent with the Allocation (and the parties shall notify each other and cooperate in reflecting such adjustment) and (iv) Buyer, Sinclair and Members and their respective representatives and Affiliates shall cooperate with each other in preparing any Tax filings or other forms required to be filed in connection with the transactions hereunder.

Section 8.7 Certain Actions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, without the prior written consent of Sinclair (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any Person to, (i) amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Tax Return of any Acquired Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) make any Tax election for any Acquired Subsidiary with an effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, to the extent such action would result in the imposition of additional Taxes on the Members or result in any indemnification obligations of the Members hereunder.

Section 8.8 Treatment of Merger. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3 (the “Merger Position”). The parties agree: (i) they shall file (or shall cause to be filed) all Tax Returns and forms consistent with the Merger Position; (ii) in the event that any Governmental Authority disputes the Merger Position, Members or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of such dispute, and shall cooperate in good faith to preserve the effectiveness of the Merger Position, to the extent consistent with the law and final decisions of such Governmental Authority (provided, however, that nothing herein shall require a party to contest the decision of a Governmental Authority in court proceedings or to appeal a court ruling to a court of higher instance); (iii) any subsequent adjustments to the Closing Cash Amount allocable to the purchase of the Cascade Interests shall be treated in a manner consistent with the Allocation (and the parties shall notify each other and cooperate in reflecting such adjustment); and (iv) Buyer, Sinclair and Members and their respective representatives and Affiliates shall cooperate with each other in preparing any Tax filings or other forms required to be filed in connection with the transactions hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer makes no representations or warranties to Sinclair or to any Member regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger. Sinclair and each Member acknowledges that Sinclair and the Members are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with Merger and waive, release, hold harmless and indemnify Buyer, severally based on their respective Pro Rata Portion, from any Taxes or Losses incurred by or imposed upon Sinclair and/or any Member arising from or relating to the Merger Position. Sinclair and the Members shall indemnify Buyer for any professional fees reasonably incurred by Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority disputes the Merger Position in an aggregate amount of up to $150,000.

Article IX

(d) by Sinclair, if (i) Buyer has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by it such that the closing condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied, or (ii) there exists a breach of or inaccuracy, in any material respect, in any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such failure to perform or breach or inaccuracy is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Sinclair or is incapable of being cured by Buyer by the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to Sinclair if Sinclair or any Member is then in material breach of this Agreement; or

(e) by Buyer, if (i) any Member or Sinclair has breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by it such that the closing condition set forth in Section 6.1(b) would not be satisfied, or (ii) there exists a breach of or inaccuracy, in any material respect, in any representation or warranty of Sinclair or any Member contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such failure to perform or breach or inaccuracy is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer or is incapable of being cured by Sinclair or the Members (as applicable) by the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall not be available to Buyer if Buyer is then in material breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement will become void and have no further force or effect, other than the provisions of this Section 9.2 and Article X (to the extent applicable) which will each survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein will relieve any Party from any Liability for any Fraud or breach of this Agreement by such Party occurring prior to such termination. A Party’s right to terminate this Agreement is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other legal or equitable rights or remedies which such Party may have.

Article X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, indemnification claims for breaches of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date; provided, that indemnification claims (a) for breaches of the Fundamental Representations, and (b) in respect of any of the matters identified on Section 10.2(a)(v) of the Disclosure Schedules shall, in each case, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of any applicable statute of limitations. The covenants and obligations of the Parties shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms and, if no term is specified herein, shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party delivers written notice to an Indemnifying Party of a bona fide indemnification claim on or before the expiration date of the applicable survival period, any such claim, and the representations and warranties, or covenants or obligations, as applicable, on which such claim is based, shall survive (solely for purposes of such claim) until such claim is finally resolved or judicially determined in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that the foregoing survival periods and termination dates supersede any statute of limitations applicable to such matter.

Section 10.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.2, the Members shall, on a several but not joint basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, Sinclair) and their respective directors, officers, employees, owners, equity holders, representatives, employees, managers and agents and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against and will pay, compensate or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for (regardless of whether or not relating to a third party claim), any and all Losses any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of or arising out of: (i) any breach or misrepresentation of any representation or warranty of Sinclair or the Members contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of any Member or, to the extent required to be performed at or prior to the Closing, Sinclair, in each case in this Agreement; (iii) any Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness of any of the Companies outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not deducted from the Closing Cash Payment pursuant to Section 2.5(a); (iv) any and all Pre-Closing Taxes, or (v) any of the matters identified on Section 10.2(a)(v) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.2, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Members and their Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, owners, partners, and representatives (the “Member Indemnified Parties”) against all Losses any of such Member Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of or arising out of: (i) any breach or misrepresentation of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement: or (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Liability of the Parties under this Article X shall be limited as follows:

(i) The Members shall have no liability with respect to claims under Section 10.2(a)(i) until the aggregate of all Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such claims exceed 0.5% of the total Purchase Price (the “Basket”) at which point the Members will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply (x) to any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representations, or (y) in the event of Fraud of a specific Member or Fraud committed by Sinclair where such Member was acting on behalf of Sinclair in the commission of such Fraud (the “Fraud Carveout”), or (z) to any Losses in the event an R&W Insurance Policy is obtained and bound in accordance with Section 7.13.

(ii) The aggregate amount of Losses for which the Members shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising solely under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to (x) any breach or inaccuracy of any of the Fundamental Representations, or (y) the Fraud Carveout. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loss is recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Party under an R&W Insurance Policy that was obtained and bound in accordance with Section 7.13, the amount so recovered shall be counted towards the Cap.

(iii) Buyer shall have no liability with respect to claims under Section 10.2(b)(i) until the aggregate of all Losses suffered by the Member Indemnified Parties with respect to such claims exceed the Basket, at which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Member Indemnified Parties for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to (x) any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representations, or (y) in the event of Fraud of the Buyer.

(iv) The aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Member Indemnified Parties arising solely under Section 10.2(b)(i) shall not exceed the Cap; provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to (x) any breach or inaccuracy of any of the Fundamental Representations, or (y) in the event of Fraud of the Buyer.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Losses shall be calculated net of actual recoveries received by or on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Party under insurance policies, indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries to which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled (net of any actual costs of recovery or collection, deductibles, retroactive premium adjustments, reimbursement obligations or other costs directly related thereto), and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall promptly refund any amount they actually receive (net of costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such amount) pursuant to this clause and from insurance, indemnification payments or other third-party recoveries to the extent that they actually receive such amount after recovery hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to obtain coverage by, or seek recovery under, any such insurance policy or indemnification, contribution or similar provision, and nothing in this subclause (v) shall be deemed to limit the right of a Buyer Indemnified Party to seek recovery under an R&W Insurance Policy.

(vi) Each Buyer Indemnified Party shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses in respect of which such Persons may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except to the extent required by applicable Law, (i) such efforts shall not require such buyer Indemnified Party to (A) incur any out-of-pocket fees or expenses or (B) commence or initiate any Actions, in each case, against any customer, supplier, insurer, or other material business relationship, and (ii) failure to take such commercially reasonable steps shall not preclude a claim or recovery hereunder or affect the amount of Losses a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.2: (A) with respect to the representations and warranties in Article IV, each Member shall only be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made specifically by such Member in Article IV, and shall not have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to representations or warranties made by other Members in Article IV; (B) each Member shall only be liable for such Member’s breaches of its obligations under Section 7.6 and not for any breach of Section 7.6 by any other Member; and (C) the aggregate amount of Losses for which any Member shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Member, provided, however, that the limitation set forth in clause (C) shall not apply with respect to any Fraud of such Member.

Section 10.3 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this Article X is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article X is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party (or by such earlier date as may be necessary under applicable procedural rules in order to file a timely appearance and response), to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in such defense, so long as, if the Indemnifying Party is a Member: (i) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim (including any increased losses caused by such defense); (ii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and at its own costs and expense; and (iii) the Third Party Claim (A) does not involve injunctive relief, specific performance or other similar equitable relief, any claim in respect of Taxes, any product recall or similar action, or any criminal allegations, any Governmental Authority, any criminal allegations, or any potential material damage to the goodwill, reputation or overriding commercial interests of Buyer or the Business (including customer and supplier relations), (B) is not one in which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and joint representation would be inappropriate or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (C) does not involve a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend, (D) is not asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a Material Supplier or Material Customer, (E) would not reasonably be expected to result in Losses to the Indemnified Party in excess of the amounts for which it would be entitled to indemnification hereunder, (F) would not otherwise materially and adversely affect the Business or (G) and the defense thereof has been assumed by the Indemnified Party’s insurance carriers pursuant to any applicable insurance policy (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any R&W Insurance Policy). In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 10.3(b) it shall have the right to take such action as reasonably necessary to avoid, dispute, defend or appeal any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.3(b), assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sinclair and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim at reasonable times and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business of the non-defending Party.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as provided in this Section 10.3(b). If an offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to Liability, any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any wrongdoing or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Parties and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless such settlement does not result in Liability of, or any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any wrongdoing by, the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, including a reasonable description of the Direct Claim and the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and management personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records in each case, at reasonable times and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Indemnified Parties) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to obtain such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms of and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Buyer and the Members agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing by the Members to Buyer (or by Buyer to the Members) pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 10.5 Certain Determinations. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all disputes with regard to the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses shall first be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.7 prior to consideration of the terms of this Article X even if such disputes may also relate to or could be considered to be a claim for indemnification under this Article X. Further, the calculation of any Losses subject to indemnification shall be calculated net of any amounts expressly included in the final determination of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses so as to avoid double-counting.

Section 10.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of Buyer and the Members for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, are the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the parties set forth in Section 2.7, Article VIII and Article X. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 10.6 shall not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action or recovery hereunder (a) with respect to the Fraud Carveout, (b) to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or to obtain other equitable remedies with respect hereto, or (c) with respect to the accounting reconciliation and dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this Article X), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under an R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent such policy is obtained pursuant to Section 7.13; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 10.7 No Contribution or Circular Recovery. The Members shall not have any right of contribution against Buyer, the Acquired Subsidiaries or any other Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. The Members hereby agree that they shall not make any claim for indemnification against Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party by reason of the fact that the Members or any of their agents or other representatives was a controlling person, shareholder, director, officer, manager, employee, agent or other representative of any of the Companies or was serving as such for another Person at the request of any of the Companies (whether such claim is for Losses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any Law, Organizational Document, contractual obligation or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by Buyer against such Person pursuant to this Article X.

Section 10.8 Order and Manner of Payment. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, subject to Section 7.13, indemnification payments with respect to Section 10.2(a) shall be made (a) first, from the Indemnity Escrow Account, until such amount has been exhausted or disbursed; (b) second, to the extent such Losses exceed the amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, by deducting a number of Holdback Buyer Shares equal to the Loss pursuant to Section 2.9, and (c) third, only after the Indemnity Escrow Account has been exhausted or disbursed and all Holdback Buyer Shares have been deducted, directly from the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an R&W Insurance Policy is obtained and bound in accordance with the terms of Section 7.13, Buyer agrees that indemnification payments with respect to Section 10.2(a) shall first be satisfied by recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent of the coverage limits set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, that to the extent such indemnification payments are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy for any reason (including coverage being denied, the policy being declared void or uncollectable for any reason, or the insolvency of the insurer), payment of such amounts shall be made in accordance with the order set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.8.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Sinclair shall, together with Buyer, cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party any amount(s) owed to such Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article X within five (5) Business Days after the final determination under this Article X.

Section 10.9 Materiality. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining the amount of Losses arising from the breach of any representation or warranty, each such representation and warranty in this Agreement (and Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms or phrases “material,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar words or phrases contained in such representation or warranty (as if such words or phrases were deleted from such representation and warranty).

Section 10.10 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party's waiver of any condition set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as the case may be.

Article XI

Unless specified otherwise, any action required hereunder to be taken within a certain number of days shall be taken within that number of calendar days (and not Business Days); provided, however, that if the last day for taking such action falls on a weekend or a holiday in the United States, the period during which such action may be taken shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day. As used in this Agreement, references to documents or other materials “provided”, “furnished” or “made available” to Buyer or similar phrases shall mean that such documents or other materials were present (and available for viewing by Buyer and its representatives) in the online data room for purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby at least one (1) Business Days prior to the date hereof. Where any provision in this Agreement refers to action any Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether the action in question is taken directly by such Person or indirectly on such Person's behalf.

Section 11.4 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.5 Public Announcements. Sinclair and the Members (or any of them) shall not, nor shall they permit any of their respective Acquired Subsidiaries or Affiliates, agents or representatives to, issue any press release, public announcement or to otherwise disclose any information (including via any social media companies such as Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn) relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer; provided, however, that both prior to and following Closing, any Party may make any public disclosure is required by any applicable Law, in which case the disclosing Party will advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure and shall insofar as may be practicable reflect on such disclosure substantially all reasonable comments of the other Parties.

Section 11.6 Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Transaction Documents (including the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedule) and the other certificates and agreements delivered in connection herewith and therewith constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

No waiver of any provision shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision. Any waiver must be in writing and must be signed by the Party waiving the provision.

Section 11.9 Specific Performance. Each Member agrees and acknowledges that the Companies are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Person, monetary damages may be inadequate, and Buyer may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Member and Sinclair agrees that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and each Member’s and Sinclair’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages. If any such action is brought by Buyer to enforce this Agreement, each Member and Sinclair hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 11.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of any other Party (a) to any Affiliate of Buyer, including Merger Sub, (b) to any acquirer of all or a majority of the equity or assets of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (c) to lenders of Buyer or any of its Affiliates as collateral security; provided further that in any such case, Buyer shall remain fully responsible for all of its obligations, responsibilities and covenants under this Agreement, and (y) no such assignment shall expand the obligations, responsibilities or covenants of the Members or Sinclair under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the rights or benefits of Buyer (or its assignee) hereunder or thereunder. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

Section 11.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except as expressly set forth in Article X, nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
