WHEREAS, the Company Stockholder and the board of directors of the Company believe that the Merger is in the best interests of the Company Stockholder and the Company, and the Parent and its board of directors believe that the Merger is in the best interests of the Partner and its Company Stockholder; and

WHEREAS, the Parent, MergerCo, the Company and the Company Stockholder each desire and intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(A), (a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulation and not subject the Company Stockholder or the Company to income tax liability under the Code;

(i)

Closing Merger Consideration,  On the Closing Date and simultaneous with the Effective Time of the Merger, the Parent  shall issue to the Company Stockholder that number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall be equal to the result of dividing (x) $2,000,000, by (y) the closing price per share of the Parent’s Common Stock, as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets (or other



3





national securities exchange) on the trading day immediately prior to date of execution of this Agreement (the “Closing Merger Consideration”).   

(ii)

Additional Merger Consideration.  In addition to the Closing Merger Consideration and as an integrated part of the overall Merger Consideration, as security for the performance of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company Stockholder contained in this Agreement and based on the future performance of the Company and WRG, on the Closing Date an additional $500,000 of Parent Common Stock (the “Additional Merger Consideration”), valued in the same manner as the Closing Merger Consideration, shall be issued at the Closing to the Company Stockholder and shall be held in escrow by legal counsel to the Company Stockholder (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties and such counsel, and released to the Company Stockholder, as follows.   In the event that (A) the combined “Pre-Tax Profits of the Corporations” (as hereinafter defined) in each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (each a “Measuring Year” and collectively, the “Measuring Years”) shall equal or exceed $8,500,000, and (B) for so long as no material breach of any such representations, warranties and covenants shall have occurred and shall be continuing, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock representing $100,000, valued in the same manner as the Closing Merger Consideration, shall be delivered to the Company Stockholder promptly following the end of December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Pre-Tax Profits of the Corporations” shall mean the net combined or consolidated profits of the Company and WRG (collectively, the “Corporations”), exclusive of and after elimination of all inter-company transactions, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), applied on a consistent basis and consistent with the historical reporting practices of such Corporations, and after deduction of all salaries and bonuses, but before deductions for (A) income taxes, (B) payments in respect of interest charges on any of the minimum $35,000,000 of Required Financing incurred by the Parent in order to consummate the acquisition of the Corporations, and (C) payments of any performance bonus payable in respect of the applicable Measuring Year to the Company Stockholder and Williams pursuant to their respective employment agreements.


(iii)

Make-Whole Shares.  In the event and to the extent that, by the close of business on December 31, 2018, the total Closing Merger Consideration issued to the Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(i) above does not have a market value, based on the volume weighted average of Parent Common Stock, (as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets or other national securities exchange on which shares of Parent Common Stock then trade) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Market Price”) of at least $12,000,000, then and in such event, the Parent shall issue, as an integrated part of the overall Merger Consideration, additional shares of its Parent Common Stock to Russell (the “Make Whole Shares”) at the then per share 2018 Market Price (subject to a $5.00 floor) to make up any full or partial short-fall in value.  The provisions of this Section 1.5(c)(iii) shall terminate if Russell elects to sell any of his Parent Common Stock during the three year period ending December 31, 2018 other than in connection with “Permitted Transfers” or a “Sale of Control” (as those terms are defined in the Stockholders Agreement).   For example, if on December 31, 2018, the Market Value of the Closing Merger Consideration and the Additional Merger Consideration shall be $6,000,000 and the then Market Price is $4.00 per share, Russell shall be entitled to receive, effective as of December 31, 2018, an additional 1,200,000 shares of Parent Make Whole Shares ($6,000,000 divided by the $5.00 per share floor).  If such Make Whole Shares were valued at their actual $4.00 2018 Market Price, the Company Stockholder would have received 1,500,000 Make Whole Shares ($6,000,000 divided by $4.00).


(iv)

Restricted Securities.  The Parent and the Company, as well as the Company Shareholder, intend that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to



4





Section 1.5 hereof in connection with the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.  The shares of Parent Common Stock will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (A) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (B) an exemption from such registration exists and the Parent receives an opinion of counsel to the holder of such securities or to the intended recipient of such securities, which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.   Accordingly, Russell acknowledges that the stock certificate(s) evidencing such Merger Consideration shall contain the following restrictive legend:


“The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred in the absence of a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of such Shares is not required under the Securities Act.”


1.6

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  

(a)

The certificate of incorporation of MergerCo in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed, and the Surviving Corporation may make any necessary filings in the State of Nevada as shall be necessary or appropriate to effectuate or carry out fully the purpose of this Section 1.6(a).

(b)

The bylaws of MergerCo in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

1.7

No Further Rights.  From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding, and the holder of Company Common Stock, certificated or uncertificated, shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by law, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger.

1.8

Closing of Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Common Stock shall thereafter be made.  If, on or after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDER

The Company Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Parent that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by the Company to the Parent on the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”).  Except for the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, which are made (subject only to the specific exceptions set forth below) without qualification, all of the other representations and warranties of the Company Stockholder contained in this Article II are made “to the knowledge” of the Company Stockholder.  For purposes of this Article II, the phrase “to the knowledge” or any phrase of



5





similar import shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of the Company Stockholder, after due inquiry, and acting in his capacity as a stockholder, executive officer and director of the Company.

The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Article II; and to the extent that it is clear from the context thereof that such disclosure also applies to any other numbered paragraph contained in this Article II, the disclosures in any numbered paragraph of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify such other corresponding numbered paragraph in this Article II.  .

2.1

Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).  The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.  The Company has furnished or made available to the Parent complete and accurate copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws.  The Company is not in default under or in violation of any provision of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date, or its Bylaws, as amended to date.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, due to the fact that the Company operates in foreign jurisdictions via the Internet, both domestically and internationally, no general representations as to qualifications in all such jurisdictions can be made.  However, to the knowledge of the Company Stockholder, no claims have been made in any jurisdictions that the Company is not qualified to conduct business there or is not in good standing there.


For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the assets, business, financial condition, or results of operations or future prospects of the Company; provided, however, that changes or effects relating to the following clauses (a) through (i) shall be deemed not to constitute a “Material Adverse Effect” and shall not be considered in determining whether a “Material Adverse Effect” has occurred: (a) changes in economic or political conditions or the financing, banking, currency or capital markets in general; (b) changes in laws or orders or regulations or interpretations thereof or changes in GAAP or accounting requirements or principles or interpretations thereof or any other change or effect arising out of or relating to any Action or Order before a Governmental Entity; (c) changes affecting industries, markets or geographical areas in which the Company conducts its business; (d) the negotiation, announcement, execution, pendency or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any communication by Parent or any of its Affiliates of its plans or intentions (including in respect of employees) with respect to any of the business of the Company; (e) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any actions by Parent taken pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (f) any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action, armed hostilities or war (whether or not declared) or any escalation or worsening thereof, regardless of whether occurring or commenced before or after the date of this Agreement; (g) fluctuations or changes in the value of the Euro, the United States dollar or any adverse event affecting the European Union generally; (h) any other events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company; or (i) actions of any Governmental Entity (defined below) not through the fault of the Company Stockholder.

   

2.2

Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of ______ shares of Company Common Stock.  As of the date of this Agreement and as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, 3,000 shares of Company Common Stock are issued and outstanding.  One hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock is owned of



6





record and beneficially by the Company Stockholder.  There are no other shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and, except for the pledge of 50% of the Company Common Stock to secure payment of the $4,000,000 “Purchase Note” (hereinafter described), there are no options, warrants, convertible notes or debentures or other rights (whether under Contract or otherwise) granting any Person the right to acquire or subscribe to any capital stock of the Company. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and, effective as of the Effective Time, free of all preemptive rights.  Except for the “Pledge Agreement” (hereinafter described), to the knowledge of the Company Stockholder, there are no other agreements among other parties, to which the Company is a party and by which it is bound, with respect to the voting (including without limitation voting trusts or proxies) or sale or transfer (including without limitation agreements relating to rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or “drag-along” rights) of any securities of the Company.  At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Purchase Note shall be paid in full and the Pledge Agreement shall terminate.

2.3

Authorization of Transaction.  The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.  By his execution and delivery of this Agreement the Company Stockholder, both in his capacity as such and as sole remaining member of the board of directors of the Company does hereby approve and adopt in all respects this Agreement the Merger and all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and does hereby acknowledge that such approval by the Company Stockholder represents the vote of the sole stockholder of the Company as required by Nevada law.  The consummation by the Company of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated hereby has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Company Stockholder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company Stockholder and the board of directors of the Company have (i) determined that the Merger is fair and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholder, and (ii) adopted this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Act.  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws, rules or regulations affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity.

2.4

payment of all Taxes accruing before the Closing Date based on the allocation method set forth in Section 5.9(b), to the extent applicable.

(c)

All refunds of Taxes relating to the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Taxable Periods will be for the account of Company Stockholder, and Parent will pay over to Company Stockholder any such refunds that Parent or its Affiliates may receive within 15 days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto.  Each Seller shall be entitled to its Pro Rata Portion of all amounts paid by Parent pursuant to this 4.11(c).  

(d)

Parent and Company Stockholder' Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Returns pursuant to this 4.11 (including the preparation and filing of any claims for refunds of Taxes) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include signing any Returns, amended Returns, claims or other documents necessary to settle any Tax controversy, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each party will bear its own expenses in complying with the foregoing provisions.  Parent and Company Stockholder further agree, upon request from the other party, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(e)

Each party will promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt by such party (or any of its Affiliates) of notice of any pending or threatened Tax liabilities of the Company for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period or Straddle Period.  The Company Stockholder’ will have the right (but not the obligation) to solely represent the interests of the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its choice, and Parent agrees to cooperate in the defense of any claim in such proceeding.  The Company Stockholder will have the right to participate in representing the interests of the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding for any Straddle Period, if and to the extent that such period includes any Pre-Closing Taxable Period, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense.  Parent and the Company Stockholder agree to cooperate in the defense of any claim in such proceeding. Parent or its Affiliates may not settle, compromise or resolve any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period or Straddle Period that includes a Pre-Closing Taxable Period without the consent of the Company Stockholder.

40





commencing from the Closing Date and ending eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Period”), indemnify the Parent in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all debts, obligations losses, liabilities, deficiencies, damages, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, expenses or costs (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise, or whether known or unknown, or due or to become due or otherwise) (including without limitation amounts paid in settlement, interest, court costs, costs of investigators, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts, and other expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or suffered by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent caused by any unreasonable act or omission of the Company Stockholder or any circumstances within the reasonable control of the Company or the Company Stockholder. Any information, facts, or circumstances discovered by Parent or its representatives or otherwise disclosed to Parent in connection with any due diligence investigation or other examination of Company by Parent, or delivery of information to Parent or its representatives by the Company or the Company Stockholder, that may have been made on or before the Closing Date shall be deemed to be a disclosure by the Company Stockholders and Company pursuant to this Agreement such that the Parent shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing eighteen (18) month Indemnity Period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4 below  

6.2

Indemnification by the Parent.  Subject to the limitations provided herein, the Parent shall, for a period commencing from the Closing Date and ending eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, indemnify the Company Stockholder in respect of, and hold him harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Company Stockholder resulting from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary contained in this Agreement.  

6.3

Indemnification Claims.

(a)

In the event the Parent or the Company Stockholder are entitled, or seek to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article VI, the Parent or the Company Stockholder (as the case may be) shall give written notification to the Company Stockholder or the Parent (as the case may be) of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought.  Such notification shall be given within 20 Business Days after receipt by the party seeking indemnification of notice of such suit or proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the party seeking indemnification) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the party seeking indemnification in notifying the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure.  Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the indemnifying party may, upon written notice thereof to the party seeking indemnification, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party seeking indemnification; provided that the indemnifying party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the party seeking indemnification.  If the indemnifying party does not so assume control of such defense, the party seeking indemnification shall control such defense.  The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the indemnifying party assumes control of such defense and the party seeking indemnification reasonably concludes that the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the party seeking indemnification shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement.  The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto.  The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling



41





Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party as reasonably needed in the defense of such suit or proceeding at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party under Section 6.1 or 6.2, which cost and expense shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement.  The indemnifying party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the party seeking indemnification, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the party seeking indemnification shall not be required if the indemnifying party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the party seeking indemnification from further liability and has no other materially adverse effect on the party seeking indemnification.  The party seeking indemnification shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b)

In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the party seeking indemnification shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the party seeking indemnification, (ii) a statement that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment (in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below) in the amount of the Claimed Amount.

(c)

Within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party shall deliver to the party seeking indemnification a written response (the “Response”) in which the indemnifying party shall:  (i) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, (ii) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) or (iii) dispute that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.  If the indemnifying party in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”).

(d)

During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute.  If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”).  In the event the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure.  The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such Party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the indemnifying party nor the party seeking indemnification may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure.  Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or



42





oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, the party seeking indemnification or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product.  Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible).  The fees and expenses of any ADR Service used by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered to be Damages; provided, that if the indemnifying party are determined not to be liable for Damages in connection with such Dispute, the party seeking indemnification shall pay all such fees and expenses.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which the Parent may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and the Parent reasonably determines that the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) the Parent shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, with prior notice to but without prior consent from the Indemnifying Company Stockholder, (ii) the Parent may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) the Parent shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Company Stockholder to dispute the Parent’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

(e)

For purposes of this Section 6.3 and the last two sentences of Section 6.4, any references to the Company Stockholder or the Indemnifying Company Stockholder (except provisions relating to an obligation to make, or a right to receive, any payments provided for in Section 6.3 or Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the Indemnification Representative.

(f)

The Indemnification Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Stockholder or Company Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Company Stockholder or Indemnifying Company Stockholder under this Article VI.  The Indemnification Representative shall have no liability to any Party for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Company Stockholder or the Parent pursuant to this Article VI.

6.4

Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Certificate or the Parent Certificate shall (a) survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Parent or the Company and (b) shall expire on the date eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that Claims relating to Pre-Closing Tax liabilities for which the Company Stockholder is responsible pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement shall survive for the duration of the applicable Statute of Limitations.  If a party entitled to indemnification delivers to a party from whom it may seek indemnification hereunder, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the party entitled to indemnification reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Expected Claim Notice.



43





6.5

Limitations on Claims for Indemnification.  

(a)

Damages Threshold.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company Stockholder nor the Parent shall not be entitled to recover, or be indemnified for, Damages under this Article VI unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages paid or payable by the Indemnifying Company Stockholder collectively exceeds $100,000 (the “Damages Threshold”) and then, if such aggregate Damages Threshold is reached, the Parties shall only be entitled to recover for Damages in excess of such Damages Threshold, and then up to the Indemnity Cap, except with respect to any fraud or willful misconduct by the Company Stockholder or the Parent, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement.  

(b)

Indemnity Cap.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, express or implied contained in this Agreement, except with respect to (i) any fraud or willful misconduct by the Company Stockholder in connection with this Agreement, or (ii) any Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities payable by the Company Stockholder for which the Company Stockholder is liable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement  (for which there shall be no “Indemnity Cap”), the Parent’s sole and exclusive right to recover any Damages from the Company Stockholder under this Article VI with respect to Claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by the Company Stockholder contained in this Agreement shall be limited to the sum of Four Million ($4,000,000) Dollars (the “Indemnity Cap”).  Payment of any indemnified amount by the Company Stockholder shall be paid solely by returning to the Parent, first the appropriate amount of Additional Shares (valued at the closing price of the Parent’s Common Stock, as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets (or other national securities exchange) on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date) and, then, only if the amount of the Claim exceeds the then value of the Additional Shares, an appropriate number of Make-Whole Shares, valued at the 2018 Market Value, subject to the $5.00 floor price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of any indemnity provisions, including calculation of the Indemnity Cap, as to the Additional Merger Consideration and the Make-Whole Shares, shall be net of any tax liability arising from or related to the satisfaction of any indemnity obligations through return of any Additional Merger Consideration and Make-Whole Shares.  

(c)

The amount of Damages recoverable by the Parent under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (i) any proceeds received by the Parent with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier and (ii) the amount of any tax savings actually realized by the Parent, for the tax year in which such Damages are incurred, which are clearly attributable to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates (net of any increased tax liability which may result from the receipt of the indemnity payment or any insurance proceeds relating to such Damages).

8.8

Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Florida, except that the provisions of the laws of the State of Arizona or the State of Nevada shall apply as appropriate with respect to the Merger and the rights and duties of the Company Stockholder and the Board of Directors of the Company and where such provisions are otherwise mandatorily applicable or where such provisions do not conflict with those of the laws of the State of Florida.

Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
