Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly.
1.6.    Purchase Price; Escrow; Closing Payment; Earn-Out Payment.
(a)    Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall consist of (i) cash in an amount equal to Five Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,750,000) (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) by the Effective Price (as defined below) (the “Stock Consideration”, and collectively with the Cash Consideration, the “Purchase Price”), such Purchase Price subject to adjustment as set forth below, and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

{M1108931.1 }    - 5 -    




Market exchange for the 30-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Date.
(b)    Earn-Out Escrow. On the Closing Date (i) cash in an amount equal to thirty-four percent (34%) of the Purchase Price, or Two Million Two Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($2,210,000) (the “Escrow Earn-Out Consideration”), shall be paid to and deposited with BNY Mellon, National Association, a national banking association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) at Closing, such Escrow Earn-Out Consideration to be released and paid to Seller, or a portion thereof, in accordance with the terms herein and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that any portion of the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration shall not be payable to Seller, then such Escrow Earn-Out Consideration shall be released and returned to Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(c)    Closing Payment. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a portion of the Purchase Price as follows: (i) an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller in writing, equal to the Cash Consideration, minus an amount equal to the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration, minus the amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Seller, if any, as of the Closing Date, together with the amount of all interest and premiums required to be paid to repay or redeem such Indebtedness as of the Closing Date (the “Seller Indebtedness”), such amount referred to herein as the “Closing Cash Consideration” and (ii) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock representing the Stock Consideration (the “Closing Stock Consideration”, and together with the Closing Cash Consideration, the “Closing Consideration”).

(d)    Escrow Earn-Out Consideration. As additional consideration for the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an earn-out amount, if any, determined in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 1.6(d). The Seller shall be entitled to earn the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration during the Earn-Out Period, as follows:
(i)    Retention Earn-Out. Provided that Edward Kilgallen remains an employee of Purchaser, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, from the Closing Date until the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, Seller shall be entitled to payment of the Retention Earn-Out Consideration, such Retention Earn-Out Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be, to Seller within ten (10) business days after the final determination that Seller is entitled to such Retention Earn-Out Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser terminates the employment of Edward Kilgallen without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or Edward Kilgallen resigns from employment with the Purchaser for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Seller shall remain eligible to receive such Retention Earn-Out Consideration upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period. In the event that Edward Kilgallen is terminated by the Purchaser prior to the expiry of the Earn-Out Period as a result of (i) a conviction of Edward Kilgallen of a felony involving moral turpitude, (ii) the gross negligence of Edward Kilgallen or (iii) the Insubordination of Edward Kilgallen, then Seller shall remain eligible to receive the Retention Earn-Out Consideration upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period. As used herein Insubordinationmeans the refusal of Edward Kilgallen to comply in any material respect with his duties and responsibilities to Purchaser, as determined

{M1108931.1 }    - 6 -    




by the Purchaser, so long as such duties and responsibilities are identified in the Employment Agreement. The Retention Earn-Out Consideration shall be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be, to Seller within ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Earn-Out Period.
(ii)    Value Earn-Out.
(a)    Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon the methodology to be used to calculate both the Estimated Value Earn-Out Consideration and the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration, which shall be consistent with the methodology set forth and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Value Earn-Out Methodology).
(b)    Prior to Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon the Estimated Value-Earn-Out Consideration, as set forth and attached hereto as Exhibit C, and calculated consistent with the Value Earn-Out Methodology.
(c)    Within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the Earn-Out Period, Purchaser will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Seller, a statement setting forth the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration (“Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement”), consistent with the Value Earn-Out Methodology which shall set forth Purchaser’s calculation of that portion of the Value Earn-Out Consideration payable to Seller.
(a)    Upon receipt from Purchaser, Seller shall review the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement for a period of thirty (30) days. If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s computation of the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration, Seller may, on or prior to such thirty (30) day period, deliver an objection notice (an “Earn-Out Objection Notice”) to Purchaser, which sets forth its objections to Purchaser’s calculation of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration; provided, however, the Earn-Out Objection Notice shall include only objections based on (i) non-compliance with the Value Earn-Out Methodology and (ii) mathematical errors in the computation of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration. Any Earn-Out Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Seller disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount, and shall set forth Seller’s calculation of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in the Earn-Out Objection Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with Purchaser’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement.
(b)    Unless Seller delivers the Earn-Out Objection Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted Purchaser’s calculation of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration and the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding. If Seller delivers the Earn-Out Objection Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed to extension thereof, Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreement to the Neutral Accounting Firm (as defined below). The parties shall instruct the Neutral Accounting Firm promptly to review this Section 1.6 and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what

{M1108931.1 }    - 7 -    




extent, if any, the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration set forth in the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement requires adjustment. The Neutral Accounting Firm shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Purchaser and Seller and not on independent review. Purchaser and Seller shall make available to the Neutral Accounting Firm all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Neutral Accounting Firm. The parties shall request that the Neutral Accounting Firm deliver to Purchaser and Seller, a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration, which report shall be delivered to Purchaser and Seller as soon as practicably possible within thirty (30) days after its retention. The decision of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm in connection with the resolution of the Notice of Objection shall be shared equally by the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand; provided that if the Neutral Accounting Firm determines that one such party has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accounting Firm may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such party.
(c)    Upon a final determination of the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.6, Seller shall be entitled to payment from Purchaser of that portion of the Value Earn-Out Consideration as determined in the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration Statement, with any amounts payable up to One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) being satisfied from the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration held by the Escrow Agent, and any remaining amounts payable by Purchaser to Seller above One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) being satisfied by payment from Purchaser directly to Seller. The Value Earn-Out Consideration shall be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be, to Seller within ten (10) business days after the final determination that Seller is entitled to the Value Earn-Out Consideration, or any portion thereof.
(d)    As set forth in the Value Earn-Out Methodology, the Value Earn-Out Consideration, after the calculation thereof, may result in a Value Earn-Out Consideration equal to an amount of up to One Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,950,000), provided however, that in the event the Value Earn-Out Methodology is determined to be an amount equal to less than to One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000), then any adjustments to costs associated with the operation of the Business by Purchaser after the Closing Date, which are inconsistent with the current costs of Seller, or costs contemplated as of the Closing Date by Seller, on a proportionate basis, will be excluded from the calculation of the Actual Value Earn-Out Consideration, provided further, that the exclusion of any such costs shall result in a Value Earn-Out Consideration not greater than One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000), and the volume adjustment in the Value Earn-Out Methodology will not be considered in this instance. For clarity, the following examples, without limitation, would constitute an adjustment to costs as contemplated above: (i) the use of additional inspectors in the manufacturing process despite volume remaining unchanged and/or (ii) material changes to the cleaning process in the manufacturing process.
(iii)    Operational Considerations. The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that during the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser shall: (i) not take or omit to take any action with the express purpose and intent of, absent an independent and good faith business rationale for its actions, depriving the Seller of the opportunity to earn any Retention Earn-Out

{M1108931.1 }    - 8 -    




Consideration or Value Earn-Out Consideration; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts in a manner reasonably consistent with the Seller’s past practice to operate the Business of Seller and related services related to the Retention Earn-Out Consideration or Value Earn-Out Consideration; and (iii) not relocate the principal place of business of the Business, or cause the principal place of business of the Business to be relocated, to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the current principal place of business of the Business in Wallingford Connecticut, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Purchaser and Seller shall review performance in relation to the Earn Out no less than quarterly.
(iv)    Other. Any rights accruing to a party under this Section 1.6 shall be in addition to and independent of the rights to indemnification under Article VII and any payments made to any party under this Section 1.6 shall not be subject to the terms of Article VII.

1.7.    Reserved.
1.8.    Issuance and Delivery of Stock Consideration. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the transfer agent, instructions to issue a stock certificate in the name of Seller for that number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the Closing Stock Consideration, such stock certificate representing the Closing Stock Consideration to be delivered to Seller at Closing. No fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof, Seller shall receive from Purchaser an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Effective Price.
1.9.    Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser will report the allocation of the Purchase Price, any subsequent adjustment to the Purchase Price and payment of the Retention Earn-Out Consideration and Value Earn-Out Consideration (“Allocation”) as provided in Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and agree to prepare and file all income Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. The estimated Allocation is set forth on Schedule 1.9 hereto and shall be agreed to prior to closing,.
1.10.    Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall take place on a date and time to be specified by Purchaser and Seller (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton, P.C., 230 Third Avenue, Suite 400, Waltham, Massachusetts, 02451. The Parties need not be physically present at the Closing in order to consummate the Transaction contemplated herein.

{M1108931.1 }    - 23 -

(b)    Nonsolicitation of Employees. Seller, any Affiliates of Seller and the Unitholders agree that, during the Restrictive Period, they shall not directly or indirectly (including but not limited to, through the use of “headhunters,” recruiters or employment agencies, and whether on-line or off-line recruiting activities) or by action in concert with others, hire, recruit or otherwise induce or influence (or seek to induce or influence) any person who is or shall be hereafter engaged (as an employee, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) to terminate such Person’s employment or engagement, or employ or engage, seek to employ or engage, or cause any other Person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity (whether for-profit or non-profit) to employ or engage or seek to employ or engage any such person.

Seller acknowledges that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.6 may be inadequate. Seller agrees that upon any such breach of this Section 5.6, Purchaser shall, in addition to all other available remedies (including but not limited to, seeking an injunction or other equitable relief), be entitled to injunctive relief without having to prove the inadequacy of the remedies available at law and without being required to post bond or other security.

Seller expressly declares that the territorial and time limitations contained in this Section 5.6 are entirely reasonable and are properly and necessarily required for the adequate protection of the business, operations, trade secrets and goodwill of Purchaser and are given as an integral part of this Transaction, but for which Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement. It is the desire and intent of Seller and Purchaser that the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Section 5.6, including but not limited to, any territorial or time limitations set forth in this Section 5.6, shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, whether due to passage of time, change of circumstances or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, or to reduce said territorial or time limitations to such areas or periods of time as said court shall deem reasonable, such deletion or reduction to apply

{M1108931.1 }    - 24 -    




only with respect to the operation of this Section5.6 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

For a period of not less than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, Seller (i) shall maintain its company existence in good standing, perform its obligations and satisfy its liabilities when due, pay its Taxes when due, and maintain adequate cash and liquid assets to pay and perform its liabilities and obligations as they fall due and (ii) shall not resolve, agree or take any action to liquidate, wind-up, dissolve or otherwise cease its operations. Within five (5) Business Days of Closing, Seller shall cause to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Entity any document, and shall execute such documents and all other papers and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to effect the transaction.
5.9.    Lock-Up Agreement. The Seller and each recipient of Stock Consideration, acknowledges and agrees that, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days subsequent to the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), he or it will not (1) offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the Purchaser Common Stock; (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Purchaser Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of the Purchaser Common Stock, in cash or otherwise, or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of the Purchaser Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Purchaser Common Stock. The Seller and each recipient of Purchaser Common Stock further agrees not to enter into any private transaction involving the Purchaser Common Stock unless (i) Purchaser receives an opinion of counsel acceptable in form and substance to Purchaser to the effect that the proposed transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and (ii) the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by all the provisions in this Section 5.9 prior to any such private transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions contained herein shall not apply to the transfer of the Purchaser

{M1108931.1 }    - 25 -    




Common Stock by the Seller to the Unitholders or any recipient to any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the direct or indirect benefit of such Seller or any recipient and/or the immediate family of such Seller or any recipient for estate planning purposes, provided that (i) the trustee of the trust, partnership or the limited liability company, as the case may be, agrees in writing to be subject to the restrictions of this Section 4.09 and (ii) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.
5.10.    Taxes; Cooperation. All transfer taxes incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Seller. The Seller will, at its own expense, file such Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax Laws, and Purchaser and Seller will reasonably cooperate with each other to lawfully minimize any such Taxes. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and the Business as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, and making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Entity, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving the Business or the Purchased Assets and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 5.10.
5.11.    Deferred Consents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Assumed Agreement or any claim, right, or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or would otherwise constitute an event of default thereunder. If any such consent is not obtained prior to Closing (each a “Deferred Consent”), or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Purchaser would not receive all such rights and benefits, then (i) Seller and Purchaser will cooperate to obtain such Deferred Consents as soon as practicable to the extent feasible; provided that Purchaser shall not have any obligation (A) to pay any fees or deliver any other consideration to any Person to obtain any Deferred Consent or (B) agree to any adverse change in any Assumed Agreement in order to obtain a Deferred Consent, and (ii) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in all reasonable respects to provide to Purchaser the rights and benefits under the Assumed Agreement to which such Deferred Consent relates. In particular, in the event that any such Deferred Consent is not obtained prior to Closing, then, to the extent permitted and reasonably possible, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into lawful and commercially reasonable arrangements (including subleasing or subcontracting if permitted) to provide to Purchaser the economic and operational equivalent of having obtained such Deferred Consent and having assigned or transferred such Assumed Agreement, including enforcement for the benefit of Purchaser of all claims or rights arising thereunder, and the performance by Purchaser of the obligations, to the extent rights and benefits thereunder are received, thereunder on a prompt and punctual basis.

(a)    any inaccuracy in or breach, violation or nonobservance of the representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements, including without limitation, the payment of any portion of the Earn-Out Consideration that becomes payable to Seller pursuant to Section 1.6 herein, made by Purchaser herein or in the Transaction Documents or failure of any certificate, document or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant hereto or in connection herewith to be true and correct as of the Closing; and
(b)    any liabilities or obligations with respect to the Assumed Liabilities; and
(c)    any claim by any Person for a brokerage or finder’s fee, commission or similar payment based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Purchaser (or any Person acting on a Purchaser’s behalf) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.5.    Limitations of Liability.
(a)    The Seller and Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to the matters described in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.4(a), respectively, for any Claim or Loss until the total of all Claims or Losses exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), at which point Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be obligated to indemnify the other party from and against all such Claims or Losses for the entire amount of all such Claims or Losses (i.e., from the first dollar), provided however, that these limitations shall not apply to any Claims or Losses incurred by Purchaser as a result of or with respect to any breach of the Fundamental Representations or the Other Representations, and provided further, that Claims or Losses involving fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation shall not be subject to the Basket.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the representations set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), Section 2.2 (Authorization), 2.11 (Taxes), 2.13 (Assets), and Section 2.14 (Intellectual Property), which shall not exceed the Purchase Price, the other indemnity obligations of Seller on the one hand and Purchaser, on the other hand, under this Agreement shall not exceed the thirty four percent (34%) of the Purchase Price. Further, the indemnity obligations of any Unitholder shall not exceed the amount of consideration actually received by such Unitholder hereunder from Purchaser.

{M1108931.1 }    - 34 -    




(c)    In any situation in which an indemnification payment or expense reimbursement is due from Seller hereunder, Purchaser shall seek to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part, in the following manner: (i) first, from the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration, and (ii) second, by withholding or setting off the Escrow Earn-Out Consideration that may then be due or may subsequently become payable to Seller, provided that Purchaser has delivered to Seller not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so. In any situation in which an indemnification payment is due from Purchaser hereunder, Seller shall seek to satisfy such obligation by acceptance of a cash payment by Purchaser equal to the fair value of the Claim or Loss.
(d)    No action or claim for Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall be brought or asserted after the relevant date of survival referred to in Section 7.1 hereof (the “Representation Expiration Date”). The amount of any Claims or Losses suffered by an Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall be reduced by any tax benefit that has been realized or that is certain to be realized, and any insurance benefits or claims against third parties which are actually received by such party in respect of or as a result of such Claims or Losses, or the facts or circumstances relating thereto(it being agreed that no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to seek to recover any such insurance proceeds). If any Losses for which indemnification is made hereunder are subsequently reduced by any tax benefit or insurance payment, the value of such tax benefit or other benefit or the amount of such payment or other recovery shall be remitted to the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be.
(e)    Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, except as to Claims or Losses attributable to fraud, their sole remedy against the other for any matter arising out of a breach, violation or nonobservance of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement is set forth in this Article VII, and that except to the extent a party has asserted a claim for indemnification prior to the Representation Expiration Date, neither party shall have any remedy against the other party for any breach, violation or nonobservance of a representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by such other party in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this Section 7.4 has been negotiated fully by the parties and that neither party would have entered into this Agreement but for the inclusion of this Section 7.4.

7.6.    Third Party Claims. In the event that a party (the “Indemnitee”) desires to make a claim against another party (the “Indemnitor”) pursuant to this Section 7 in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or demand at any time instituted against or made upon the Indemnitee by any third party for which the Indemnitee may seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify, in writing, the Indemnitor of such Third Party Claim and of the Indemnitee’s claim of indemnification with respect thereto. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnitee if he/she or it has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled at his/her or its own expense to conduct and control the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim through counsel of his/her or its own choosing; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with his/her or its own counsel at his/her or its own expense and the Indemnitor may not settle any Third Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent, which shall not

{M1108931.1 }    - 35 -    




be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitor fails to notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s written notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may not settle any Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.7.    Expenses; Reimbursement. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4 above, an Indemnitor hereunder promptly shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all Losses constituting reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any third-party action, suit, claim or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) for which indemnity is available under either Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable.
7.8.    Notice. Each party shall provide prompt written notice to the other of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure of such party to give prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article VII, except if and to the extent that the Indemnitor has been materially prejudiced thereby.
7.9.    Survival. Subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in Section 7.4(d) and in Section 7.1, the obligations of Purchaser, Seller and Unitholder under this Article VII, as applicable, shall survive and continue in effect following the Closing until all Claims or Losses are resolved.

However, the Executive will travel as may be reasonably necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of Executive’s role.

The Executive will carry out and perform any and all reasonable and lawful orders, directions, and policies as may be stated by Company from time to time, either orally or in writing.
Terms of Employment.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

{M1092765.4 }    



Accrued Compensation” means any accrued Base Salary, any commissions or similar payments earned by the Executive prior to the date of termination, any Bonus earned by the Executive and approved by the Board prior to the date of termination, any accrued vacation pay, and any amounts for reimbursement of any appropriate business expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, all to the extent unpaid on the date of termination. The Executive’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefit under any plan of the Company shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the terms of such plans, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
Base Salary” has the meaning set forth in Section 3.1 hereof.
Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: (i) any “person”, as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, a subsidiary, an affiliate, or a Company employee benefit plan, including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (ii) a sale of assets involving 75% or more of the fair market value of the assets of the Company as determined in good faith by the Board; or (iii) any merger, reorganization or other transaction of the Company whether or not another entity is the survivor, pursuant to which holders of all the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding prior to the transaction hold, as a group, less than 50% of the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding after the transaction; provided, however, that neither (A) a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company in which the holders of all the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the merger hold the voting power of the

{M1092765.4 }    



surviving entity following the merger in the same relative amounts with substantially the same rights, preferences and privileges, nor (B) a transaction the primary purpose of which is to raise capital for the Company, will constitute a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any payments or benefits hereunder or pursuant to any other agreement between the Company and the Executive, in either case that are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Change of Control must constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i).
Change of Control Period” means the period of time beginning three (3) months immediately preceding any Change of Control and ending twelve (12) months immediately following such Change of Control.
Death Termination” means termination of the Executive’s employment because of the death of the Executive.
Disability Termination” means termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment by reason of the Executive’s incapacitation due to disability. The Executive will be deemed to be incapacitated due to disability if at the end of any month the Executive is unable to perform substantially all of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement in the normal and regular manner due to illness, injury or mental or physical incapacity, and has been unable so to perform for either (i) three consecutive full calendar months then ending, or (ii) 90 or more of the normal working days during the 12 consecutive full calendar months then ending. Nothing in this paragraph alters the Company’s obligations under applicable law, which may, in certain circumstances, result in the suspension or alteration of the foregoing time periods.
Qualifying Termination” means a termination that: (i) is a Termination for Good Reason by the Executive and/or a Termination Other Than for

{M1092765.4 }    



Cause by the Company; and (ii) occurs at least one year following the Effective Date.
Severance Period” means the period following the date of a Qualifying Termination, Death Termination, or Disability Termination, as the case may be, that is equal to: (i) one year, in the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs during a Change of Control Period; (ii) one year in the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date; and (ii) six months, in all other cases. The Severance Period is not cumulative in the event that two conditions are met simultaneously.
Termination for Cause” means termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment, pursuant to a reasonable good faith determination by the Company, by reason of (i) the Executive’s dishonesty or fraud, gross negligence in the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, deliberate violation of a Company policy, or refusal to comply in any material respect with the legal directives of the Board or Chief Executive Officer so long as such directives are not inconsistent with the Executive’s position and duties as described herein; (ii) conduct by the Executive that materially discredits the Company, intentional engagement by the Executive in acts materially detrimental to the Company’s operations or business, persistent or habitual negligence in the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, or the Executive’s conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude; (iii) the Executive’s incurable material breach of the terms of this Agreement, the Employee Confidential Information, Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement or any other material agreement between the Executive and the Company; or (iv) unauthorized use or disclosure by the Executive of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom the Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the Executive’s position with the Company.

{M1092765.4 }    



Termination for Good Reason” means a Voluntary Termination by the Executive following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material reduction or alteration in the Executive’s job responsibilities or title without the consent of the Executive, provided that, following a Change of Control, neither a change in job title nor a reassignment to a new position will constitute a material reduction in job responsibilities, provided further that the new position is substantially similar in scope and substance to the position held prior to the Change of Control and the new job title reasonably reflects such scope and substance; (ii) relocation by the Company or a subsidiary, parent or affiliate, as appropriate, of the Executive’s work site to a different manufacturing facility or location more than 40 miles from Wallingford, Connecticut or Wilmington, Massachusetts without the Executive’s consent; (iii) a material reduction in Executive’s then-current base salary without the Executive’s consent, provided that an across-the-board reduction in the salary level of all other employees or consultants in positions similar to the Executive’s by the same percentage amount as part of a general salary level reduction will not constitute such a salary reduction; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such event or condition shall constitute Good Reason unless (x) the Executive gives the Company a written notice of Termination for Good Reason not more than 30 days after the initial existence of the condition, (y) the grounds for termination (if susceptible to correction) are not corrected by the Company within 60 days of its receipt of such notice and (z) the Executive’s Voluntary Termination occurs within one year following the Company’s receipt of such notice.
Termination Other Than For Cause” means termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason other than as specified in Sections 2.1(e), (f), (i) or (l) hereof.

The Company shall pay the

{M1092765.4 }    



employer’s portion of any continued coverage under the Company’s group health insurance plans at the rate in effect as of the date of termination of Executive’s employment. The Company shall pay any Bonus due pursuant to a Qualifying Termination under this Agreement in a lump sum on the 30th day following the date of the Qualifying Termination. In addition, to the extent the Company has previously paid the Executive any Bonus in the form of a grant of equity (including, without limitation, a restricted stock award, a restricted stock unit, or an option to purchase shares of stock) as provided in Section 3.3 that is not fully vested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination, such grant of equity shall vest with respect to an additional number of shares equal to that number of shares that would have become vested shares had the Executive continued to provide service as an employee of the Company following such termination for an additional period equal to the Severance Period. The Executive’s rights to any compensations or other benefits following a Qualifying Termination, other than Accrued Compensation, are subject to: (1) the execution by Executive of a separation and release agreement in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”), including a release of any and all claims against the Company (including, without limitation, its subsidiaries, other affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) related in any way to the Executive’s employment with the Company, such Release to be executed following the Executive’s separation from service with the Company; (2) the expiration of any revocation period provided pursuant to any applicable laws; and (3) Executive’s continued compliance with the ongoing terms of Executive’s

In addition, to the extent the Company has previously paid the Executive any Bonus in the form of a grant of equity (including, without limitation, a restricted stock award, a restricted stock unit, or an option to purchase shares of stock) as provided in Section 3.3 that is not fully vested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination, such

{M1092765.4 }

Following the effective date of a Voluntary Termination, the Company will pay the Executive all Accrued Compensation, if any.
Compensation and Benefits.
Base Salary. As payment for the services to be rendered by the Executive as provided in Section 1 and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company will pay the Executive a “Base Salary” at the rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) per year, payable on the Company’s normal payroll schedule. The Executive’s “Base Salary” may be increased in accordance with the provisions hereof or as otherwise

{M1092765.4 }    



determined from time to time by the Board.
Additional Benefits.
Benefit Plans. The Executive will be eligible to participate in such of the Company’s benefit plans as are now generally available or later made generally available to senior officers of the Company, including, without limitation, medical, dental, life, and disability insurance plans.
Expense Reimbursement. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary travel and entertainment expenses incurred by the Executive in conjunction with the Executive’s services to the Company consistent with the Company’s standard reimbursement policies, subject to Section 6.11(c). The Company will pay travel costs incurred by the Executive in conjunction with the Executive’s services to the Company consistent with the Company’s standard travel policies.
Paid Time Off. The Executive will be entitled, without loss of compensation, to the amount of Paid Time Off (“PTO”) per year generally available or later made generally available to senior officers of the Company, but in any event not less than 200 hours (five weeks) during each calendar year, prorated from the Effective Date for calendar year 2017. Unused PTO may be accrued by the Executive pursuant to the Company’s standard PTO policies.
Relocation Allowance. Executive and Company intend that Executive will relocate to the Boston Metropolitan Area. Provided that Executive so relocates on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company will reimburse Executive up to $20,000 for any properly documented moving and relocation expenses incurred by Executive (the “Relocation Allowance”).  Reimbursable moving expenses include but are not limited to such things as: hotel, short-term housing, meals, moving expenses, lease termination fees; house hunting trip and other travel associated with such relocation. In the event that

{M1092765.4 }    



Executive terminates his employment with the Company prior to the first year anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive agrees to refund to the Company any portion of the Relocation Allowance that has been paid to Executive. Any items considered income and subject to tax in accordance with IRS regulations will be reported on Executive’s annual W-2 wage statement.
  
Eligibility for Bonus Plans.
Commencing upon the Effective Date, the Executive will be eligible to receive a cash bonus pursuant to the Company’s 2017 cash bonus plan (2017 Bonus Plan) as adopted by the board of directors, any such bonus to be awarded on a pro rata basis from the Effective Date and otherwise subject to the terms of the 2017 Bonus Plan. Under the 2017 Bonus Plan, Executive will be eligible for a target cash bonus of up to 30% of Executive’s Base Salary.
Commencing the first full fiscal year of Company following the Effective Date, the Executive will be eligible annually to participate in the Company’s annual bonus and stock incentive plans. As part of such plans, or any other or different plans as may be adopted by the Company, Executive will be eligible for a discretionary year-end bonus, payable in the following calendar year in the form of cash, restricted stock, an option to purchase common stock of the Company, or other form determined by the Board (the “Bonus”). The Bonus will be awarded at the discretion of the Board and may be subject to terms (including, without limitation, incentive targets, goals and/or milestones) as set by the Board and/or Chief Executive Officer. Any Bonus in the form of an option to purchase Company’s Common Stock will be granted at the then fair market value of such shares pursuant to the Company’s standard form of notice of stock option grant under the Company’s 2015 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan or any successor plan(s). The Executive acknowledges that the Company may pay Bonuses in the form of stock, stock options or other non-cash compensation in

{M1092765.4 }    



lieu of cash, and that entitlement to Bonuses and the form thereof (i.e., cash or otherwise) is in the sole discretion of the Board. The Executive must be employed by the Company on the date the Bonus is approved by the Board in order to be eligible to receive such Bonus. For purposes of clarity, a grant of equity or other compensation expressly provided as a long-term incentive or for another expressly stated purpose, or that is not expressly provided as a bonus to Executive, is not a bonus for purposes of this Agreement.
Acceleration of Vesting upon a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of Qualifying Termination during any Change of Control Period, any outstanding equity awards held by the Executive will become fully vested and exercisable or free from forfeiture or transfer restrictions as of the effective date of the Qualifying Termination (provided that if such Qualifying Termination precedes the Change of Control, such accelerated vesting shall occur on the effective date of the Change of Control).
Proprietary Information. The Executive will as of the Effective Date execute and deliver to the Company the Employee Confidential Information, Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto.
Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Executive in respect of any liability, damage, amount paid in settlement, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal or administrative) to which the Executive is or was a party, or threatened to be made a party, by reason of the Executive being or having been an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the full extent required by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company and not prohibited by applicable law. This Section 5 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Miscellaneous.
Waiver. The waiver of the breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any

{M1092765.4 }    



subsequent breach of the same or other provision hereof.
Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given by personal or courier delivery, facsimile or first class mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, and will be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt if personally delivered or delivered by courier, on the date of transmission if transmitted by facsimile, or three business days after mailing if mailed, to the addresses of the Company and the Executive contained in the records of the Company at the time of such notice. Any party may change such party’s address for notices by notice duly given pursuant to this Section 6.2.
Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference and will not by themselves determine the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and, to the extent a dispute arises hereunder, will be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, the Executive’s employment with the Company, this Agreement, or the breach of this Agreement (except any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, Exhibit A or the breach of Exhibit A) will be settled by arbitration by, and in accordance

{M1092765.4 }    



with the applicable National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section requires the arbitration of disputes or claims for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in cases in which such temporary equitable relief would be otherwise authorized by law. For clarification, but not limitation, the Executive agrees to arbitrate: (i) any claims of unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation under federal, state, or local laws or regulations; (ii) any claim for unpaid or late payment of wages, reimbursement of expenses, or any violation of federal, state, or local wage and hour laws or regulations; (iii) any whistleblower claim or claim alleging unfair business practices under any federal, state or local law; and (iv) any claim arising out of any and all common law claims, including, but not limited to, actions in contract, express or implied (including any claim relating to the interpretation, existence, validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision), estoppel, tort, emotional distress, invasion of privacy, or defamation. The Company shall pay any filing fee and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator(s); provided, however, that if the Executive is the party initiating the arbitration, the Executive will pay an amount equivalent to the filing fee that the Executive would have paid to file a civil action or initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which the Executive performed services for the Company. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any; provided, however, that if either party prevails on a

{M1092765.4 }    



statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, the Arbitrator(s) may award reasonable attorneys' fees and/or costs to such prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim(s). Arbitration hearings will be held in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Both parties expressly waive any right that any party either has or may have to a jury trial of any dispute subject to arbitration under this provision. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, (1) both parties agree that neither will assert class action or representative action claims against the other, whether in arbitration or otherwise, which actions are hereby waived; and (2) each party shall only submit their own, individual claims in arbitration and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person.
Survival of Obligations. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that except as herein expressly provided, this Agreement will not be assignable either by the Company (except to an affiliate or successor of the Company) or by the Executive without the prior written consent of the other party.
Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature (including signatures in Adobe PDF or similar format).

{M1092765.4 }    



Withholding. All sums payable to the Executive hereunder will be reduced by all federal, state, local, and other withholdings and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law.
Enforcement. If any portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such portion will be adjusted, rather than voided, to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent possible, and the remainder will be enforced to the maximum extent possible.
Entire Agreement; Modifications. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the exhibits hereto, this Agreement represents the entire understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, plans, and negotiations, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, any understandings, agreements, or obligations respecting any past or future compensation, bonuses, reimbursements, or other payments to the Executive from the Company. For clarity, this Agreement does not affect, alter, terminate or supersede any prior agreements related to grants of equity in Company, including grants of stock in Company and options to purchase stock in Company, except as, and to the extent, expressly provided herein. All modifications to the Agreement must be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.


Compliance with Section 409A.

{M1092765.4 }    



Subject to this Section 6.11, any severance payments that may be due under this Agreement shall begin only upon the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (determined as set forth below) which occurs on or after the termination of the Executive’s employment. The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the severance payments, if any, to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement, as applicable:
It is intended that each installment of the severance payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). Neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A.
If, as of the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company, the Executive is not a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then each installment of the severance payments shall be made on the dates and terms set forth in this Agreement.
If, as of the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company, the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A”), then, except as otherwise permitted under Section 409A, any payments that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following the Executive’s separation from service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the date and terms set forth herein.
The determination of whether and when the Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company has occurred shall be made in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.11(b), “Company” shall include all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code.
All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of

{M1092765.4 }    



Section 409A to the extent such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or to any other person if any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, that section.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

WHEREAS, the Company is acquiring assets of Consultant and will begin upon closing to employ several persons currently employed by Consultant; and

If Company reasonably objects to any such individuals’ qualifications, Consultant shall substitute an acceptable replacement for such objectionable individual.

Confidential Information includes “Inventions” (as defined below), any other inventions, trade secrets, original works, findings, reports, disclosures, processes, systems, methods, formulae, procedures, concepts, compositions, techniques, drawings, models, diagrams, flow charts, research, data, devices, machinery, copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, intellectual property, instruments, materials, products, patterns, compilations, programs, techniques, sequences, designs, research or development activities and plans, specifications, documentation, algorithms, software, computer programs, source code, object code, mask works, costs of production, contract forms, prices, pricing policies and similar financial data, volume of sales, promotional methods, marketing plans and techniques, identities of and information regarding customers, clients and personnel, lists of vendors or suppliers, business plans, business opportunities, financial statements and other financial information, including, without limitation, the purpose and existence of this Agreement. Confidential Information also includes the confidential or proprietary information of the Company’s consultants, vendors, suppliers, partners, customers, clients and other parties with which it does business.
Nondisclosure. The Consultant acknowledges that Confidential Information is of great value to the Company. Accordingly, the Consultant agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize or remove from the premises of the Company any





Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Consultant agrees (i) to promptly deliver to the Company all papers, records, data, notes, drawings, files, documents, samples, devices, products, equipment and other materials, including copies and in whatever form, relating to the Company that the Consultant possesses or creates, whether or not confidential or proprietary, (ii) to not disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize or remove from the premises of the Company any Confidential Information, and (iii) to promptly execute and deliver to the Company the “Termination Certificate” attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The Consultant will promptly notify the Company in writing of all Inventions so





conceived or made by the Consultant. To the extent that ownership of, or any rights to, any such Inventions does not automatically vest in the Company, the Consultant hereby immediately assigns to the Company or its designees, without further consideration, the Consultant’s entire right, title, and interest in and to all such existing and future Inventions, including all rights to obtain, register, perfect, and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other intellectual property rights and protections with respect thereto, whether or not patent or copyright applications are filed thereon. To the extent that ownership of, or any rights to, any such Inventions does not automatically vest in the Company and the preceding assignment is not effective immediately for any or all such inventions, the Consultant hereby agrees to assign to the Company or its designees, without further consideration, the Consultant’s entire right, title, and interest in and to all existing and future Inventions, including all rights to obtain, register, perfect, and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other intellectual property rights and protections with respect thereto, whether or not patent or copyright applications are filed thereon.

As provided in Section 8 above, any such publication shall be an Invention owned by the Company.
Term and Termination.
Term.    The term of this Agreement shall have a term of six (6) months, commencing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Term”).
Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by prior written notice in the event the other Party materially defaults in the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement, which default is not cured within thirty (30) days





after receipt of written notice specifying the default.
Termination for Convenience. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement for any (or no) reason by providing Consultant written notice.    
Survival. Each and all of the terms, provisions and/or covenants of each of Sections 5 through 24 of this Agreement will, for any and all purposes whatsoever, survive the termination of this Agreement.
Independent Contractor/Taxes. Consultant is not an agent or employee of the Company and has no authority to act on behalf of the Company or to otherwise obligate or bind the Company by contract or otherwise. Except as required by a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority and upon due notice to the other party, the Consultant and the Company agree to treat the Consultant as an independent contractor for tax purposes and to file all tax and information returns and pay all applicable taxes on that basis.
Third Party Contracts. The Consultant represents that except as disclosed in writing to the Company, (a) there are no other contracts to assign Inventions that are now in existence between any other party and the Consultant, and (b) the Consultant has no employments, consultancies or undertakings which would restrict or impair the Consultant’s performance of this Agreement. The Consultant will not improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer or other third party. The Consultant will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former or current employer or other third party unless consented to in writing by such employer or such other third party. If, in the course of the Consultant’s performance of this Agreement, the Consultant incorporates a prior Consultant-owned invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and will have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such prior invention.
Assignment. The rights and liabilities of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, heirs, executors and administrators, as the case may be; provided, however, that as the Company has specifically contracted for the Services to be provided by the Consultant hereunder, the Consultant may not assign or delegate the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company.
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Consultant hereby submits to the sole jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for purposes of any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement.
Injunctive Relief. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that damages will not be an adequate remedy in the event of a breach of any of the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. The Consultant therefore agrees that the Company will be entitled (without limitation of any other rights or remedies otherwise available to the Company and without the necessity of posting a bond or other security) to obtain an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the continuance or recurrence of any breach of this Agreement.
Arbitration. Except as contemplated by Section 16, any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement will be settled by arbitration by, and in accordance





with the applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator(s) will have the right to assess, against a party or among the parties, as the arbitrator(s) deem reasonable, (a) administrative fees of the American Arbitration Association, (b) compensation, if any, to the arbitrator(s) and (c) attorneys’ fees incurred by a party. Arbitration hearings will be held in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Headings. The headings in this Agreement are intended principally for convenience and will not, by themselves, determine the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement.
Attorneys’ Fees. The prevailing party in any suit brought to enforce its rights under this Agreement will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required by, or made in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given on the date of delivery, if delivered in person, or three business days after mailing if mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

In any event, all other provisions of this Agreement will be deemed valid and enforceable to the full extent possible.
Waiver. The waiver of any term or condition contained in this Agreement by any party to this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach or failure of the same term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement.

Tenant’s Share of landscaping, and snow/ice removal, based on the 2016 costs, for the first Lease Year is estimated to be $963.00 per year. Tenant agrees





to pay said amounts or such other amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably estimate; provided that Landlord shall provide Tenant reasonable advance notice of any change in the amount of monthly installments. If the Tenant’s Share of the Additional Rent is not received by the 10th day of the calendar month, a monthly charge of one and one half (1.5%) percent of the monthly payment will be assessed commencing with the first day of the calendar month.

Within 120 days following the close of Landlord’s annual accounting period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of the Additional Rent for such period. If the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of the Additional Rent is less than the total amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such period, the excess shall be credited against Tenant’s next succeeding payment(s) or refunded to Tenant with the delivery of Landlord’s statement, should there be no succeeding payments due from Tenant. If the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of the Additional Rent shall exceed the total amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following its receipt of Landlord’s statement, the amount shown as due thereon.

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 9, 2017 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Buyer, the Seller and the other parties named therein, the Seller has agreed to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of its right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to the Buyer and the Buyer has agreed to purchase and acquire such Purchased Assets from the Seller (the “Transaction”), and pursuant to which the Buyer and Seller determined that a portion of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement be deposited into an escrow account, such amounts to be released upon the achievement of certain milestones;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed and delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(m) and 6.3(g) of the Asset Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth their understandings with regard to the escrow account established by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Agent. The Escrow Parties appoint the Escrow Agent as their agent to hold in escrow, and to administer the disposition of, the Escrow Fund (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent accepts such appointment.

2. Establishment of Escrow. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall (a) cause Two Million Two Hundred Ten Thousand ($2,210,000.00) to be deposited with the Escrow Agent (the "Deposit"), and Escrow Agent shall promptly upon request acknowledge to the Escrow Parties or any of them receipt of any funds so deposited; and (b) deliver one fully executed original of this Agreement to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Notice section below. The Deposit and all additional amounts now or hereafter deposited with the Escrow Agent, together with all interest, and other income earned, shall be referred to as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Parties acknowledge that the sum held in escrow hereunder may be reduced or increased from time to time during the term hereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, the term “Escrow Fund” shall

{M1092782.4 }



refer both to the Deposit and to such lesser or greater amount as may be held pursuant hereto at any point during the term hereof.

3. Customer Identification and TIN Certification.    To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal laws require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each individual or entity that opens an account. Therefore, the Escrow Agent must obtain the name, address, taxpayer or other government identification number, and other information, such as date of birth for individuals, for each individual and business entity that is a party to this Agreement. For individuals signing this Agreement on their own behalf or on behalf of another, the Escrow Agent requires a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification. For business and other entities that are parties to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will require such documents, as it deems necessary to confirm the legal existence of the entity.

At the time of or prior to execution of this Agreement, any Escrow Party providing a tax identification number for tax reporting purposes shall provide to the Escrow Agent a completed IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, in the case of non U.S. persons), and every individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an Escrow Party shall provide to the Escrow Agent a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification acceptable to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties agree to provide to the Escrow Agent such organizational documents and documents establishing the authority of any individual acting in a representative capacity as the Escrow Agent may require in order to comply with its established practices, procedures and policies.

The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to report all interest and other income earned on the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, in the case of non U.S. persons) information provided to the Escrow Agent by Seller. The Escrow Parties understand that, in the event one or more tax identification number is not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time, may require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on the Deposit.

The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any information reports (including without limitation IRS Forms 1099-B) other than such information reports of interest earned on the Escrow Fund as the Escrow Agent is required to prepare and file in the ordinary course of its business.

4. Deposit of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Fund in one or more deposit accounts at BNY Mellon, National Association in accordance with such written instructions and directions as may from time to time be provided to the Escrow Agent by Seller. In the event that the Escrow Agent does not receive written instructions, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Fund in a checking with interest account at BNY Mellon, National Association. Deposits shall in all instances be subject to the Escrow Agent’s standard funds availability policy. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate fluctuation or early withdrawal penalty. The Escrow Parties understand that deposits of the Escrow Fund are not necessarily insured by the United States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or of any state or municipality, and that such deposits do not necessarily earn a fixed rate of return. In no instance shall the Escrow Agent have any obligation to provide investment advice of any kind. The Escrow

{M1092782.4 }



Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any deposits made pursuant to this Section 4, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.

5. Release of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.

(a)
Final Release. For purposes of this agreement, the Escrow Period shall be the period from the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement until the conclusion of the one (1) year anniversary of such closing. The Buyer and Seller shall provide Joint Written Instructions (as defined below) to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Escrow Period directing the final disbursement of the Escrow Fund.

(b)
Joint Written Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives written instructions from all of the Escrow Parties, or their respective successors or assigns, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, as to the disbursement of the Escrow Fund or any portion thereof (“Joint Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to such Joint Written Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any Joint Written Instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the persons executing said Joint Written Instructions are authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall make payments as directed by Joint Written Instructions within three (3) business days following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Joint Written Instructions or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to make any determination as to either the Buyer’s or Seller’s right to the Escrow Fund or any portion thereof and is entitled to rely on any Joint Written Instruction without any further duty of inquiry or investigation.

(c)
Sufficiency of Funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the balance in the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall release the balance in the Escrow Fund and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Escrow Parties for any deficiency.

6. Methods of Payment.    All payments required to be made by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer or by check in accordance with written payment instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by the party receiving the funds. Any wire transfers shall be made subject to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agent’s normal funds transfer procedures in effect from time to time. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all bank and account information provided to the Escrow Agent by any of the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to verify or otherwise confirm any written wire transfer instructions but it may do so in its discretion on any occasion without incurring any liability to any of the Escrow Parties for failing to do so on any other occasion. Any such verification may include, but not be limited to, a telephone call to the party receiving the funds or to one or more of the Escrow Parties in accordance

{M1092782.4 }



with Section 14. The Escrow Parties agree that any such call back is a commercially reasonable security procedure and that the Escrow Agent may record such calls according to the Escrow Agent’s standard operating procedures or as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate for security and/or service purposes. The Escrow Agent shall process all wire transfers based on bank identification and account numbers rather than the names of the intended recipient of the funds, even if such numbers pertain to a recipient other than the recipient identified in the payment instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to detect any such inconsistencies and shall resolve any such inconsistencies by using the account number. Attached as Exhibit B is the wire transfer information for the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Parties shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent of any changes to their wire transfer information contained in Exhibit B and the Escrow Agent may rely on the wire transfer information contained in Exhibit B until notified of a change in writing.

7. Responsibilities and Liability of Escrow Agent.

(a) Duties Limited. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent's duties shall be determined only with reference to this Agreement and applicable laws and it shall have no implied duties.

(b) Limitations on Liability of Escrow Agent.

2.    ORDER OF PRECEDENCE.

{M1092782.4 }



2.1    The parties intend for the express terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and in any Buyer purchase order that are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to exclusively govern and control each of the parties’ respective rights and obligations regarding the manufacture, purchase and sale of the Products, and the parties’ agreement is expressly limited to such terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any terms and conditions contained in a purchase order conflict with any terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the applicable term or condition of this Agreement will prevail and such contrary terms will have no force or effect. Except for such contrary terms, the terms and conditions of all purchase orders are incorporated by reference into this Agreement for all applicable purposes hereunder. Without limitation of anything contained in this Section 2.1, any additional, contrary or different terms contained in any confirmation or any of Supplier’s invoices or other communications, and any other attempt to modify, supersede, supplement or otherwise alter this Agreement, are deemed rejected by Buyer and will not modify this Agreement or be binding on the parties unless such terms have been fully approved in a signed writing by authorized representatives of both parties.
3.    ORDERING PROCEDURE.
3.1    Purchase Orders. Buyer shall issue purchase orders to Supplier in written or electronic form.
3.2    Acceptance, Rejection, and Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Supplier shall confirm to Buyer the receipt of each purchase order issued hereunder (each, a “Confirmation”) within three (3) days following Supplier’s receipt thereof in written form via e-mail or US mail. Each Confirmation must reference Buyer’s purchase order number, confirm acceptance of the purchase order or, solely if permitted under this Section 3.2, advise Buyer of Supplier’s rejection of such purchase order, the date of acceptance or rejection and the basis for rejection, if applicable. If Supplier fails to issue a Confirmation within the time set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.2, or otherwise commences performance under such purchase order, Supplier will be deemed to have accepted the purchase order. Buyer may withdraw any purchase order prior to Supplier’s acceptance thereof. Supplier may only reject a purchase order if the applicable purchase order includes terms and conditions that supplement those contained in this Agreement, which Supplier is unwilling to accept. Supplier may not cancel any previously accepted purchase order hereunder. Buyer may only cancel a previously accepted purchase order pursuant to the exercise of Buyer’s rights under Section 4.1.
4.    SHIPMENT, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE .
4.1    Shipment and Delivery Requirements. Time, quantity and delivery to the delivery location specified by Buyer are of the essence under this Agreement. Delivery times will be measured to the time that Products are actually received at the delivery location specified by Buyer. If Supplier does not comply with any of its delivery obligations under this Section 4, Buyer may, in Buyer’s sole discretion and at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, (a) approve a revised delivery date, (b) require expedited or premium shipment, or (c) cancel the applicable purchase order and obtain similar goods from other sources Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Parties in writing, Supplier may not make partial shipments of Products to Buyer.
4.2    Transfer of Title. Title to Products shipped under any purchase order passes to Buyer upon the earliest to occur of (i) delivery of the Products to Buyer, (ii) payment of any portion of the Price for such Products by Buyer, (iii) Buyer’s acceptance of the Products and (iv) Supplier’s tender of the Products to the carrier. Title will transfer to Buyer even if Supplier has not been paid for such Products, provided that Buyer will not be relieved of its obligation to pay for Products in accordance with the terms hereof.
4.3    Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding any agreement between Buyer and Supplier concerning transfer of title or responsibility for shipping costs, risk of loss to Products shipped under any purchase order passes to Buyer upon receipt and acceptance by Buyer at the delivery location specified by Buyer, and Supplier will bear all risk of loss or damage with respect to Products until

{M1092782.4 }



Buyer’s receipt and acceptance of such Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the purchase order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, deliveries to Buyer’s Massachusetts facility shall be FOB Wallingford, Connecticut.
4.4    Packaging and Labeling. Supplier shall properly pack, mark and ship Products as instructed by Buyer and otherwise in accordance with applicable law and industry standards, and shall provide Buyer with shipment documentation showing the purchase order number, Supplier’s identification number for the subject Products, the quantity of pieces in shipment, the number of cartons or containers in shipment, Supplier’s name, the bill of lading number, and the country of origin.
5.    PRICE AND PAYMENT.
5.1    Price. All prices include, and Supplier is solely responsible for, all costs and expenses relating to packing, crating, and boxing.
(a)    2017 Product Pricing. The price of any Product of Supplier that is sold to Buyer shall be at or below the lowest price paid by Broad Peak Manufacturing, LLC to Seller in the first calendar quarter of 2017, provided that, for those Products not sold to Broad Peak Manufacturing, LLC, the price will be no more than the average price paid by other customers.
(b)    Pricing Increases. Supplier may increase the prices for the Products it sells to Buyer if the price paid by Supplier increases, by no more than the increase paid by Supplier. Supplier must provide documentary support of any such increase in price to Supplier, if requested by Buyer.
5.2    Invoices. Supplier shall issue invoices upon delivery of Products in accordance with this Agreement. Each invoice for Products must set forth in reasonable detail the amounts payable by Buyer under this Agreement and contain the following information, as applicable: a reference to this Agreement; purchase order number, amendment number and line-item number; Supplier’s name; Supplier’s identification number; carrier name; ship-to address; quantity of Products shipped; number of cartons or containers in shipment; bill of lading number; country of origin; and any other information necessary for identification and control of the Products. Buyer reserves the right to return and withhold payment due to any invoices or related documents that are incomplete, inaccurate or incorrectly submitted to Buyer. The parties shall seek to resolve any invoice disputes expeditiously and in good faith. Any payment by Buyer of an invoice is not an acceptance of any non-conforming element or terms on such invoice or the related Products.
5.3    Payment. Except for any amounts disputed by Buyer in good faith, Supplier’s accurate and correctly submitted invoices will be payable within forty-five (45) days following Buyer’s receipt of Supplier’s invoice, with a two (2) percent discount for payment made within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Supplier’s invoice. Any payment by Buyer for Products will not be deemed acceptance of the Products or waive Buyer’s right to inspect. Buyer shall make all payments in US dollars by check or wire transfer.
5.4    Setoff; Contingent or Disputed Claims. All amounts due from Buyer to Supplier are net of any indebtedness of Supplier to Buyer. In addition to any right of set-off, deduction or recoupment provided or allowed by law, Buyer may, without notice to Supplier, set off against, and deduct and recoup from, any amounts due or to become due from Buyer to Supplier, any amounts due or to become due from Supplier to Buyer, including for damages resulting from breaches by Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between such parties. If an obligation of Supplier is disputed, contingent or unliquidated, payment by Buyer of all or any portion of the amount due may be deferred until such dispute contingency is resolved or the obligation is liquidated. In the event of Supplier’s bankruptcy, if all of the contracts (including this Agreement) between Buyer and Supplier have not been promptly assumed by Supplier (under applicable Law), Buyer may withhold payment to Supplier for Products previously delivered (via administrative hold or otherwise) until the risk of potential rejection and other losses is eliminated.
