As a result of (i) the Seller’s contribution of the Exchanged Shares to Parent, (ii) Parent’s contribution of the Exchanged Shares to Purchaser, and (iii) Purchaser’s purchase of the Transferred Shares from Seller, all in the manner more particularly described above, Purchaser shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and Seller shall become an equity holder of Parent.

E. As a result of the transactions to occur hereunder at the Closing, Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

F. Immediately following the Closing, Purchaser shall merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity in such transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

1.01 Sale and Purchase of Transferred Shares. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase and accept delivery from the Seller of, all of the Transferred Shares (except for the Exchanged Shares), free and clear of all Liens and other restrictions on transfer (other than applicable federal and state securities law restrictions).

1.02 Consideration. As consideration for the Transferred Shares, Purchaser shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(a) pay, on Seller’s behalf, the Funded Indebtedness of the Company in accordance with the payoff letters delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(h);

(b) pay, on the Seller’s behalf, the Transaction Expenses to such account or accounts as Seller specify in writing to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(b); provided that, any amounts treated as wages to a current or former employee of the Company shall be paid to the Company, which shall pay the respective payee such amount, less applicable withholding Taxes, through the Company’s payroll system as a payment made and accounted for in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, unless otherwise required by applicable Law;

(c) deposit an amount equal to the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent, which amount will be held for purposes of providing security for satisfaction for any claims in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(d) to Seller the Closing Cash Consideration, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Section 2.02(a).

1.03 Closing Calculations. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser a statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimates of (i) Cash (“Estimated Cash”), (ii) Indebtedness (“Estimated Indebtedness”), (iii) Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (iv) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and (v) the resulting calculation of Closing Cash Consideration, together with a schedule calculating in reasonable detail such amounts as of the Closing Effective Time. The Estimated Net Working Capital and the Final Net Working Capital (as defined below) shall be calculated in the same manner and using the same methodologies are were used in the Example Net Working Capital Calculation attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.04 Final Closing Calculations. As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will deliver to Seller a statement showing the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital and the resulting calculation of Final Cash Consideration (the “Preliminary Statement”). After delivery of the Preliminary Statement, Purchaser shall cause the Company to provide Seller and Seller’s accountants and other representatives reasonable access to review the Company’s books and records and any work papers (subject to customary access agreements) related to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement. Seller and Seller’s accountants and other representatives may make inquiries of Purchaser, the Company and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause the Company to use its, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth in reasonable detail based on the information then available to

it such objections (an “Objections Statement”) within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Preliminary Statement to Seller (the “Objection Period”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Purchaser during the Objection Period, the Preliminary Statement and the resulting calculation of the Final Cash Consideration shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Seller and Purchaser shall submit such dispute to BDO USA LLP (the “Accounting Referee”). Any submissions to the Accounting Referee shall be limited to the disputes outstanding as of the date of such submission and must be set forth in a written statement (each, a “Position Statement”) and delivered to the Accounting Referee and concurrently to each party to the dispute. The Accounting Referee shall be given reasonable access to all of the records of the Company and, to the extent related to the calculations contained in any Position Statement, the Preliminary Statement or Objections Statement, Purchaser to resolve any dispute regarding the Preliminary Statement, which determination with respect to any disputed matters shall be submitted to Purchaser and Seller within twenty (20) Business Days. The Accounting Referee shall address only those items disputed in accordance with this Section 1.04 and the Accounting Referee, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall make its determination as to any disputed items within the dollar ranges set forth in the respective Position Statements delivered by Purchaser and Seller. No party nor any Affiliate or representative of a party will (A) meet or discuss the subject matter hereof with the Accounting Referee without Purchaser and Seller and their respective representatives present or having the opportunity, following at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice, to be present, either in person or by telephone, or (B) exchange any written correspondence with the Accounting Referee regarding the subject matter hereof without simultaneously providing a copy of such correspondence to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable. Absent fraud or manifest error, the determination of the Accounting Referee shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of such Accounting Referee incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be equitably apportioned by the Accounting Referee based on the extent to which Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, is determined by the Accounting Referee to be the prevailing party in the resolution of such disputed matters. For example, if Purchaser claims to be owed $100,000 on a net basis pursuant to this Section 1.04, Seller claims that $0 is owed to Purchaser and the Accounting Referee determines that $60,000 is owed to Purchaser on a net basis, then Purchaser shall pay 40% of the Accounting Referee’s fees and expenses and Seller shall 60% of such fees and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accounting Referee shall also resolve any disputes that may arise as to whether the Seller and Purchaser have complied with the terms and procedures of this Section 1.04. The amount of Cash, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be referred to herein as “Final Cash,” “Final Indebtedness,” “Final Transaction Expenses,” and “Final Net Working Capital.”

1.05 Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.

(a) If the Final Cash Consideration is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration (such difference, the “Excess Amount”), (i) Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration) pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the Excess Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller and (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration, provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account to Seller.

(b) If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration (the absolute value of such difference, the “Deficit Amount”), Purchaser and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration, provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account (i) to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, the Deficit Amount and (ii) to an account designated in writing by Seller, the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Amount remaining in the Escrow Account (after any payment made to Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow Amount pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)). If the Deficit Amount is greater than the then remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount (before any payment made to Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow Amount pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) (such excess, the “Shortfall Amount”), then Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration, pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser.

(c) If the Final Cash Consideration is equal to the Closing Cash Consideration, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration, provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account to Seller.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made to Seller pursuant to an adjustment to the Closing Cash Consideration under this Section 1.05 shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all applicable Tax purposes.

(d) The Company does not have any Subsidiaries or ownership interest in any other Person.

3.04 Financial Statements.

(a) Schedule 3.04(a) sets forth: (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of July 31, 2021 (the “Latest Balance Sheet”) and the related statements of income and cash flows for the one (1)-month period then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements”) and (ii) the audited balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows of the Company for the fiscal years ended, June 30, 2019, June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021 (collectively, with the Interim Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied throughout the relevant reporting period, and present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of the times and for the periods referred to therein, subject to (x) the absence of footnote disclosures and other presentation items in the Interim Financial Statements and (y) changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments in the Interim Financial Statements, in the cases of clauses (x) and (y), none of which would be material individually or in the aggregate to the business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operating results or cash flow of the Company. The Financial Statements are based on, and consistent with, the books and records of the Company (which in turn are true, correct and complete in all material respects).

(b) The Company has no material outstanding Liabilities, debts or obligations of any nature, other than Liabilities, debts and obligations (i) specifically accrued or disclosed on the Latest Balance Sheet, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Latest Balance Sheet (none of which is a Liability relating to any breach of Contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, misappropriation, violation of Law, Proceeding or environmental Liability), or (iii) otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.04(b)(iii).

(c) The Company is not a party to, nor has any commitment to become a party to, any off-balance sheet partnership or any similar off-balance sheet arrangement relating to any transaction or relationship between or among the Company, on one hand, and any unaffiliated Person, on the other hand.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 3.04(d) and subject to the reserve set forth on the Latest Balance Sheet, the Company’s accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) reflected on the Latest Balance Sheet, and all of the Receivables arising since the date of the Latest Balance Sheet, arose from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business and represent enforceable obligations of the Company, and the goods and/or services involved have been sold, delivered and/or performed to the account obligors, and no further goods are required to be provided, no further services are required to be rendered to complete the sales and fully render the services and, no Receivables are subject to any written contest, claim or right of setoff or counterclaim relating to the amount or validity thereof. To the Company’s Knowledge, there is no fact or circumstance to indicate that the collection of accounts receivable will be materially different than what has historically been customary for the Company and the business. Except as otherwise set forth Schedule 3.04(d), no such Receivable has been assigned or pledged to any Person.

(e) The inventory of the Company (whether raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) is in good and usable condition, merchantable and fit for the purpose for which it was procured or manufactured, subject only to the reserve for obsolescence included in the Latest Balance Sheet, as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP and the past custom and practice of the Company. All of the inventory is valued on the books and records of the Company and in the Financial Statements at the lower of cost or market. All inventory is accounted for using the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. Except as reserved on the Financial Statements or set forth on Schedule 3.04(e), all of the raw materials and work-in-process inventory of the Company can reasonably be expected to be consumed in the ordinary course of business. Except as reserved in the Financial Statements, none of the inventory is obsolete, slow moving, has been consigned to others or is on consignment from or owned by others. Since the date of the Latest Balance Sheet, no inventory has been sold or disposed of except through sales or disposals in the ordinary course of business. The quantities of each item of inventory (whether raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) are not excessive, but are reasonable in the present circumstances of the Company. All of the inventory of the Company is identified on and is located at the Leased Real Property.

(f) The Company has not entered into any transaction involving the use of a special purpose entity for any off balance sheet activity.

COVENANTS

6.01 Non-Competition. Each of the Seller, William Karol, James Peden and William Leaver (each a “Restricted Party” and, collectively, the “Restricted Parties”), severally and not jointly, agrees that commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Restricted Party will not, directly or indirectly, either for itself or himself or through any other Person, as an employee, agent, independent contractor, consultant, director, equity holder, manager, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in, be employed by or participate in any manner in, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any Person), or otherwise assist any Person that engages in or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise that directly or indirectly engages or proposes to engage anywhere within North America in the business of designing, manufacturing, assembling, distributing and selling cleaning and sanitation products for the food, pet food, food service and nutraceutical end-markets industries (the “Restricted Business”) other than in connection with such Restricted Party's ownership of the Exchanged Shares. Nothing contained herein will be construed to prevent a Restricted Party from investing in the stock of any competing entity which is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over the counter market, so long as such Restricted Party is not involved in the business of such Person, and is merely a passive investor, and so long as such Restricted Party does not own more than five percent (5%) of the equity of such Person.

6.02 Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference; Non-Hire. During the Restricted Period, each of the Restricted Parties, severally and not jointly, agrees that such Restricted Party will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or through any other person, as employee, agent, consultant, director, equity holder, manager, co-partner or in any other capacity, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) employ, hire, engage, recruit or solicit for employment or engagement (other than by a general solicitation advertisement, posting, use of recruiting services or websites, or similar job solicitation process not targeting the employees of the Company), any Person who is (or was during the two (2) year period preceding the Closing) employed or engaged by the Company or otherwise seek to interfere with, influence or alter any such Person’s relationship with the Company, (ii) solicit, interfere with, or adversely influence or alter the relationship of, any Person with whom the Company conducts the Restricted Business, including, without limitation, any customers, vendors and suppliers of the Company, or (iii) make any negative or disparaging statements or communications about the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, that the making of any truthful statement required by Law or due legal process shall not violate the requirements of this Section 6.03.

6.03 Confidentiality. Each of the Restricted Parties, severally and not jointly, agrees that such Restricted Party will treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) and refrain from disclosing or using any of the Confidential Information. In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required, by any regulatory or quasi-regulatory body, or in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process, to disclose any Confidential Information, such Restricted Party will notify Purchaser promptly (to the extent that such notice is legally permissible) of the request or requirement so that the Company may seek, at the Company’s sole expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.03. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Restricted Party is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, such Restricted Party may disclose the Confidential Information; provided, however, that such Restricted Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request and sole expense of the Company, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Company will designate. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all confidential matters relating to the Company, including, but not limited to, “know how”, trade secrets, customer lists, supplier lists, intellectual property, details of consultant and employment contracts, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, technical processes, designs and design projects, processes, inventions, software, source codes, object codes, systems documentation and research projects and other business affairs. A Restricted Party will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for such Restricted Party’s disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney, provided that such disclosure is: (a) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

In the event that any such territorial, time or scope limitation is deemed to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company, Purchaser and each Restricted Party agrees, and each Restricted Party submits, to the reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations to such an area, period or scope as said court deems reasonable or enforceable under the circumstances. If such partial enforcement is not possible in such jurisdiction, the provision will be deemed severed as to such jurisdiction and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

6.05 Remedies. Each Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s and Purchaser’s business interests and the Restricted Business, that irreparable injury will result to the Company, Purchaser and the Restricted Business if such Restricted Party breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, and that in the event of such Restricted Party’s actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser may have no adequate remedy at law. Each Restricted Party accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by it of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, each of the Company and Purchaser will be entitled to such injunctive and other equitable relief as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein will be construed as prohibiting the Company or Purchaser from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

6.06 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to (a) evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (b) preserve for a Company any right or benefit under any lease, license, commitment or other contract to which such Company is a party.

6.07 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, prepare, or cause to be prepared, all IRS Forms 1120 (and analogous forms for state and local income Tax purposes) of the Company for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Seller Tax Returns”). Such Seller Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, that the parties agree that an election shall be made to treat seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees as an amount that does not facilitate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the safe harbor in Revenue Procedure 2011-29. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of all such Seller Tax Returns (including any related work papers or other information reasonably requested by the Purchaser) not later than sixty (60) days before the due date for filing such Seller Tax Returns (including extensions) for Purchaser’s review. Seller shall make any changes reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing not later than thirty (30) days after receiving such Seller Tax Return to the extent such comments are consistent with the past practice of the Company and permitted by applicable Law. Purchaser and Seller will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such

Seller Tax Return. If there are no disputes among the parties (or the parties are able to resolve such disputes) with respect to any Seller Tax Return, Purchaser shall thereafter cause such Seller Tax Returns to be filed. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least five (5) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for any Seller Tax Return, the dispute will be referred to the Accounting Referee for resolution in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.04, mutatis mutandis. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any Seller Tax Return, such Seller Tax Return will be filed reflecting the comments of Purchaser, subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Referee.

(ii) Subject to Section 6.07(c) below, Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company that are not Seller Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, that the parties agree that an election shall be made to treat seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees as an amount that does not facilitate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the safe harbor in Revenue Procedure 2011-29. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of any such income and other material Tax Returns reasonably in advance of the due date for such Tax Returns to permit its timely review; provided, that the delay to deliver such Tax Returns to Seller shall not relieve the Seller of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Seller has been materially prejudiced thereby. Purchaser shall make any changes reasonably requested by Seller in writing not later than fifteen (15) days after receiving such Tax Return to the extent such comments are consistent with the past practice of the Company and permitted by applicable Law. Purchaser and Seller will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least five (5) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for the Tax Return, the dispute will be referred to the Accounting Referee for resolution in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.04, mutatis mutandis. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for the Tax Return, such Tax Return will be filed reflecting the comments of Purchaser, subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Referee.

(b) Payment of Taxes. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Taxes of or with respect to the Company with respect to all Tax Returns described in Section 6.07(a), to the extent relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and not included as Final Indebtedness, no later than three (3) Business Days before payment by Purchaser and/or the Company of such Taxes. Seller shall not amend, restate, or correct any Tax Return filed by the Company without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, equity transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes, will be split evenly between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes.

(d) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing, allocation, and indemnity agreements and similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability or obligation thereunder.

(e) Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, any applicable Taxes with respect to any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be prorated (i) in the case of any real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes, on a daily basis based upon the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on and includes the Closing Date and the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period after the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, on the basis of a deemed closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date.

(f) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company. 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 Tax Return, audit, litigation or other Proceeding; provided that the party requesting assistance shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket 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 or other activities of any such party.

(g) Tax Proceedings. Purchaser agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of Purchaser or the Company which involves the commencement of any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Proceeding”) in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(iii). If a Tax Proceeding relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to elect to control such Tax Proceeding; provided however that Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement or ceasing to defend a Tax Proceeding; and, provided further, that Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Purchaser. If any Tax Proceeding is not controlled by Seller under this Section 6.07(g), whether by reason of Seller declining to control such claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.07(g) or otherwise, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fully and actively defend such Tax Proceeding. In the event Purchase controls a Tax Proceeding pursuant to this Section 6.07(g), Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Proceeding at Seller's sole cost and expense, and Purchaser shall obtain the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement or ceasing to defend a Tax Proceeding controlled by Purchaser. With respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII for a breach related to any Tax, to the extent of any inconsistencies, this Section 6.07(g) shall control.

(h) Post-Closing Actions. Without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company shall not (i) other than Tax Returns that are filed in accordance with this Section 6.07, file or amend any Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except as required by applicable Law), (ii) after the date of any Tax Return filed pursuant to Section 6.07, amend or otherwise modify any such Tax Return, (iii) make or change any Tax election for the Company, for or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) subject to Section 6.07(j), voluntarily make contact with any Tax Authority with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except as required by applicable Law), (v) extend, waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations applicable to a Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, in a manner that increases the Liability of Seller under this Agreement, or (vi) make (or permit to be made) any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any comparable applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law) with respect to the Company.

(i) Tax Refunds. Any cash Tax refunds (or credits claimed in lieu of a cash Tax refund) received (or claimed) by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing Date) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company shall be for the account of the Seller, and shall be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing Date) receive such refund or file the relevant Tax Return in which such credit is obtained (net of (1) any Taxes payable by the Purchaser, the Company, or their Affiliates in obtaining such refund or credit, (2) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated in obtaining such refund, and (3) any amounts required to be withheld on such payment to Seller). If any refunds or credits (including any interest related thereto) previously paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 6.07(i) is required to be repaid or is subsequently disallowed, Seller shall repay to Purchaser all such previously paid amounts within ten (10) days after such requirement or disallowance is finally determined. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.07(i) to the contrary, any refund attributable to the carryback of any Tax asset generated in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser.

(j) Purchaser shall be permitted to file any application, or otherwise voluntarily undertake to participate in any program of voluntary disclosure, for amnesty or other relief from penalty for the Company’s failure to report or pay the type of Taxes in the applicable jurisdictions, in Pre-Closing Tax Periods, set forth on Schedule 6.07(j); provided that Seller shall be entitled to participate in any such process, at Seller’s sole cost and expense. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party fees and expenses paid by any Purchaser Parties in connection with preparing, filing and negotiating any such voluntary disclosures and related submissions in any jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 6.07(j) (each, a “Designated State”) shall be treated as “Losses” for purposes of Section 7.02(a)(v). Following the execution of any voluntary disclosure agreement or receipt of a certificate (such agreement or certificate, a “VDA”) with respect to a Designated State, the amount of any Tax (including any interest, penalties or additions to such Tax) attributable to such Designated State for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to the VDA shall be treated as “Losses” for purposes of Section 7.02(a)(v).

6.08 R&W Policy. On or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall obtain insurance coverage under a R&W Policy. Prior to binding the R&W Policy, Purchaser shall share a draft in substantially final form with Seller and reasonably consider any comments communicated to Purchaser by Seller. All premiums and related costs due under the R&W Policy shall be paid 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the Seller to the applicable insurer at or prior to the Closing.

6.09 D&O Indemnification. The Company shall obtain as of the Closing Date a “tail” insurance policy (the “D&O Tail Policy”) with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”), in each case as the sole source of recovery with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the Transactions). The fees and expenses of the D&O Tail Policy shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller (as Transaction Expenses).

6.10 Release. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, each Restricted Party and each of their Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company), heirs, beneficiaries, trustees, successors and assigns (each, a “Releaser”) hereby irrevocably on behalf of himself or itself and the Releasers: (a) releases and forever discharges the Company and their past and present directors, shareholders, officers, employees, and agents, and each of their respective successors, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators (collectively, the “Released Persons”) of and from any and all manners or causes of action and actions, claims, suits, rights, debts, sums of money, covenants, contracts, damages and judgments whatsoever, in law or in equity (collectively, the “Released Claims”) which Seller ever had or now has or which it hereafter can, will or may have, against the Released Persons of and from any and all Contracts (excluding, however, all those arising under or contained in this Agreement), whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, for, upon or by reason of any matter relating to the Company, arising at any time on or prior to the Closing whether as an equity holder, a holder of Indebtedness or otherwise, and the Released Persons shall not have Liability with respect thereto and (b) consents to this Agreement, each other Ancillary Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Seller and each Restricted Party hereby represents and warrants, on behalf of itself or himself and each of the Releasers, that Seller and such Restricted Party has not, and none of the Releasers has, assigned or otherwise transferred any right or interest in or to any of the Released Claims. Seller, on behalf of Seller and each of the Releasers, hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced or instituted, or participating, assisting, or cooperating (except with Purchaser, or the Company) in, or encouraging, assisting or soliciting any other Person to institute, any suit, claim, action or other Proceeding of any kind against any Releasee that is based upon or related to any Released Claim, and hereby waives any benefit conferred upon Seller or the Releasers by any judgment or order issued in connection with any suit, claim, action or other Proceeding filed against any Releasee based upon or related to any Released Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 will operate to release any Released Claims of Seller arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement, or the D&O Tail Policy.

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III or Article IV; provided that for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement hereunder, each such representation or warranty shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar phrases or qualifiers contained in such representation or warranty;

(ii) any breach by a Restricted Party of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, that only the breaching Restricted Party shall be liable to indemnity Purchaser for such breach hereunder; and, provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, each member of the Karol Group shall have joint and several liability with respect to the obligations of the other member of the Karol Group;

(v) Indemnified Taxes; or

(vi) any of the matters described in the exclusions expressly set forth in Section 4 (i) through (k) of the R&W Policy.

(b) The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02(a) shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) Except in the case of Fraud and other than Losses arising from or related to a breach of any Fundamental Rep, Restricted Party shall be liable to Purchaser Parties for any Loss arising under Section 7.02(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses under Section 7.02(a)(i) exceeds $262,500 in the aggregate (the “Basket”), in which case the Restricted Parties shall be liable only for the amount of Losses in excess of such Basket;

(ii) Except in the case of Fraud and other than Losses arising from or related to a breach of any Fundamental Rep, the aggregate Liability under Section 7.02(a)(i) shall in no event exceed $262,500 (the “Cap”);

(iii) Except in the case of Fraud, Losses arising from or related to a breach of any Fundamental Rep, Section 7.02(a)(ii), Section 7.02(a)(iii), Section 7.02(a)(iv), Section 7.02(a)(v) or Section 7.02(a)(vi) shall in no event exceed the Final Cash Consideration; and

(iv) The limitations set forth in this Section 7.02(b) shall in no way limit or affect the rights of the Purchaser Parties under the R&W Policy.

(c) Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, each Restricted Party and such Restricted Party’s heirs, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns (each a “Seller Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Parties”) and hold the Seller Parties harmless from and against any Loss which any of the Seller Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article V and (ii) any failure to perform or breach by Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser’s Liability under clause (i) of this Section 7.02(c) exceed the Final Cash Consideration.

(d) Any party making a claim for indemnification under this Article VII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering any potential Liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such potential claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) such failure shall have actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party; and provided, further, that if the claim relates to an actual or alleged breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller that is not excluded from coverage under the R&W Policy, Purchaser may also provide written notice thereof to the R&W Insurer in accordance with the R&W Policy. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense or control of a third party claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party unless (1) the Indemnifying Party agrees to assume in writing all Losses associated with or arising from such third party claim notwithstanding any limitations

thereon otherwise set forth herein, (2) such third party claim involves solely claims for monetary relief and no criminal Proceeding is threatened by such third party claim, (3) such third party claim could not reasonably have an adverse effect (reputational, economic or otherwise) that is material on the Indemnified Party and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or otherwise materially impair any business relations of the Indemnified Party and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (4) counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there is no conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such third party claim and (5) the amount in controversy under such claim is covered by the R&W Policy, or in the event the claim is excluded under the R&W Policy, such amount is less than the remaining balance of the Indemnity Escrow Amount. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any third party claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.02(d), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such third party claim, if (x) the settlement does not expressly release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to, or involve the dismissal with prejudice of all claims asserted in, such third party claim, or (y) the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such third party claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the cost of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost (other than any actual and reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense, so long as the Indemnified Party provided prompt notice the applicable claim, which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties, shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle a third party claim if they fail to promptly accept a tender of the defense of the third party claim or thereafter at all relevant times conduct a good faith defense of such third party claim. In such event, the Purchaser Party will have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such third party claim; provided, that at least five (5) business days prior to any such settlement, written notice of the material terms of compromise or settlement is provided to Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties.

(e) Amounts paid to or on behalf of the Restricted Parties, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Final Cash Consideration for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(f) Except in the case of Fraud and other than Losses arising from or related to a breach of any Fundamental Rep, any indemnification payments to be made by the Restricted Parties pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(i) shall be recovered:

(i) if the claims resulting in such indemnification payments are not in respect of the exclusions expressly set forth in Section 4 (i) through (k) of the R&W Policy, first from the Indemnity Escrow Amount and then under the R&W Policy as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy;

(ii) if the claims resulting in such indemnification payments are in respect of the exclusions expressly set forth in Section 4 (i) through (k) of the R&W Policy, from the Restricted Parties based upon such Restricted Party’s Pro Rata Share as provided in Section 7.02(a) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Purchaser Party within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

Any indemnification payments to be made by a Restricted Party pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(ii) through Section 7.02(a)(vi) shall be paid by such Restricted Party in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Purchaser Party within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof. Any indemnification payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.02(b) shall be paid by Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(g) On the first Business Day after the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties, shall execute and deliver instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties, the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount, less any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount subject to a claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Party that has been noticed on or prior to the date of expiration of the applicable Survival Date and is pending under this Article VII (each, an “Outstanding Claim”), which portion shall continue to be retained until final settlement between the Purchaser Party and Seller, on behalf of the Restricted Parties, or final determination of all such Outstanding Claims (and thereafter released in accordance with the terms of such settlement or resolution from which such final determination results).

(h) Except (i) with respect to injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief, (ii) with respect to the provisions of Section 1.04 and Section 1.05, and (iii) for any action arising under, based upon, or related to, Fraud, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages relating to a breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII. In the event any Indemnified Party suffers any Loss by reason of a Party’s Fraud, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek recovery therefor without regard to any limitation set forth in this Agreement (whether a temporal limitation, dollar limitation or otherwise).

(i) For purposes of calculating the amount of Loss incurred by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, such amount shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss, net of any deductible amounts, any increase in premiums directly attributable thereto and any costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds and (ii) the amount of any indemnification, contribution, and other similar proceeds actually recovered by such Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss, net of any costs reasonable incurred in obtaining such proceeds.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Organizational Documents of the Company: (i) none of the Restricted Parties shall make or initiate any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder or under the Organizational Documents of the Company against any Purchaser Party by reason of the fact that such Restricted Party was a director, manager, partner, member, trustee, officer, employee, equity holder or agent (each, an “Entity Representative”) of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as an Entity Representative of another Person (whether such claim is for judgments, Losses, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, expenses or otherwise) to the extent the claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses arises from a claim pursuant to which any Purchaser Party is entitled to indemnification from such Restricted Party; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to remedies such Restricted Party may have under the D&O Tail Policy; and (ii) each Restricted Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Restricted Party shall have no claim or right to contribution or indemnity from any Purchaser Party with respect to any amounts paid pursuant to this Article VII.

Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9.04 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

9.15 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.16 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief in order to enforce their rights under or prevent any violations (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) of the terms hereof with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The foregoing sentence will not be construed as a waiver of any right such Person may now have or hereafter acquire to monetary damages from the other parties.
