Section 4.5 Intellectual Property.

 

(a) Section 4.5(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, accurate and complete list of all Registered Intellectual Property owned by, filed in the name of, or applied for, by the Seller (the “Seller Registered Intellectual Property”) and lists any proceedings or actions before any court, tribunal (including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) or equivalent authority anywhere in the world) related to any of the Seller Registered Intellectual Property as of the date hereof. Each item of Seller Registered Intellectual Property is currently in material compliance with all formal Legal Requirements (including payment of filing, examination and maintenance fees and proofs of use) and, to the extent issued, is valid and enforceable. Seller has not taken or failed to take any action (including failure to disclose any information) that would materially limit the validity, scope or enforceability of any Patents that are Seller Registered Intellectual Property. All necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees in connection with the Seller Registered Intellectual Property have been paid, and Seller has not knowingly misrepresented or failed to disclose any facts or circumstances for which it has a duty to disclose in any application for any Seller Registered Intellectual Property that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would, to the Seller’s knowledge, otherwise adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any such Seller Registered Intellectual Property. All necessary documents and certificates currently due for filing as of the date hereof in connection with such Seller Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant Patent, Copyright, Trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such Registered Intellectual Property. There are no actions that must be taken by Seller within 90 calendar days following the date hereof, including the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any responses to PTO office actions, documents, applications or certificates for the purposes of obtaining, maintaining, perfecting or preserving or renewing any Registered Intellectual Property. The registrations of Domain Names listed in Section 4.5(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule are owned solely by Seller, are active, valid and enforceable, and all fees due in connection therewith have been paid in full in a timely manner.

(b) Section 4.5(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists all material Software that is included in Seller Owned Intellectual Property and Section 4.5(b)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists all material Software that is included in Seller Licensed Intellectual Property (together, the “Seller Software”). To the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that will, or would reasonably be expected to, require the disclosure or delivery to any third party of any material Source Code owned by Seller, including any such Source Code owned by Seller that is used in any Seller Products. The Seller Software does not contain any Malicious Code. No Open Source Materials have been incorporated into or combined with any owned Seller Software or Seller Products in such a way that would require Seller to disclose or distribute any material software incorporated into, derived from or distributed with such Open Source Materials be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or (iii) redistributable at no charge. The Software that is delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2 shall constitute all of the Software related to, used in, held for use in, or necessary for the conduct of, the Business as currently conducted..

 

(c) Section 4.5(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list of all Licensed Seller Intellectual Property.

(d) No payment of any kind is required to be made to any Person for any of the Seller’s ownership or exploitation of any Owned Seller Intellectual Property. Upon and after Closing, to Seller’s Knowledge, nothing could reasonably be expected to have the effect of limiting or restricting Buyer or its Affiliates from freely making, having made, using, supplying, reproducing, selling, displaying, importing or otherwise disposing of any Seller Registered Intellectual Property in any line of business, market or geographic area.

 

(e) Except as set forth in Section 4.5(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller has not licensed, granted any covenant not to sue, immunity from suit or other right to, or otherwise agreed not to assert any rights in the Seller Intellectual Property to any Person under any of the Seller Intellectual Property or against any Person. Except as set forth in an Intellectual Property Agreement, Seller has not been licensed or otherwise been granted from any other Person any rights under any Intellectual Property that is exploited in the Business.

 

(f) All former and current directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, contractors or other representatives of Seller or other Person who was involved in the conception, reduction to practice, creation or development of any of the Seller Intellectual Property (other than the Licensed Seller Intellectual Property), in whole or in part, have executed and delivered any and all valid, written instruments necessary to assign to Seller all of their respective rights to any Seller Intellectual Property conceived, reduced to practice, created or otherwise developed by them in the course of their performing services for Seller, including a waiver of any moral rights therein. No director, officer, stockholder, employee, agent, contractor or other representative of any Seller owns or claims any rights in (nor has any of them made application for) any Seller Intellectual Property or other Intellectual Property used in Business.

Seller has taken commercially reasonable measures at least commensurate with industry standards to maintain the confidentiality thereof and in each such case using not less than a reasonable degree of care under the circumstances.

 

(h) The Seller has not received any written notice from any Person claiming that the operation of the Business or any Seller Product infringes, misappropriates or violates, or has infringed, misappropriated or violated the Intellectual Property rights of any Person, nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, does any basis exist therefor.

 

(i) There is no Claim pending, or to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened, whether or not resolved or settled, that (i) challenges the rights of Seller in respect of any Intellectual Property or (ii) asserts that Seller is, was or will be required to pay any royalty, license fee, charge or other amount with regard to any Intellectual Property of any Person. There is no Claim by Seller currently pending or that Seller intends to initiate that asserts that any Person was or will be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating or in conflict with any Seller Intellectual Property. None of the Seller Intellectual Property other than the Licensed Seller Intellectual Property, and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, none of the Licensed Seller Intellectual Property, is the subject of any Order. Seller has not been the subject to any Order in respect of any other Person’s Intellectual Property relating to the Business.

 

(j) To the Knowledge of the Seller, except as set forth in Section 4.5(j) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Source Code within the Seller Software has not been disclosed, delivered or made available to any Person who is not an employee of the Seller and the Seller has not agreed to provide such Source Code to any other such Person.

 

(k) There are no material errors in any documentation, specifications, manuals, user guides, promotional material or other written materials related to the Seller Products.

 

(l) To the Knowledge of the Seller, none of Seller Products contain any Malicious Code

 

(m) No funding from any Governmental Authority or facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or non-profit organization was used in the development of the Seller Intellectual Property, and no Governmental Authority, university, college, other educational institution or non-profit organization has a claim or right to claim any right in the Seller Intellectual Property. No employee of the Business who was involved and contributed to the creation or development of the Seller Intellectual Property has performed services for a Governmental Authority, university, college, other educational institution or non-profit organization during a time period when such employee or contractor also was involved in or contributed to the creation or development of the Seller Intellectual Property.

 

 
7
 

 

(n) There has been no loss, damage, or unauthorized access, use, unauthorized transmission, modification, or other misuse of any personally identifiable information collected or stored by or on behalf of Seller (“Seller PII”). No Person has claimed any compensation from Seller for the loss of or unauthorized disclosure or transfer of Seller PII, and no facts or circumstances exist that might give rise to such a claim.

 

(o) Seller has materially complied with all applicable Legal Requirements and its internal policies relating to (i) the privacy of users of their products and services and all Internet websites owned, maintained or operated by Seller, and (ii) the collection, storage and transfer of any personally identifiable information collected by Seller or by third parties having authorized access to the records of Seller. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement complies with all applicable Laws relating to privacy and with Seller’s privacy policies. There has been no loss, damage, or unauthorized access, use, unauthorized transmission, modification, or other misuse of any such information by Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees. No Person has claimed any compensation from Seller for the loss of or unauthorized disclosure or transfer of personal data or information, and no facts or circumstances exist that might give rise to such a claim.

 

(p) To the Seller’s Knowledge, since January 1, 2013, Seller has not suffered a security breach that has compromised either the security, confidentiality or integrity of Seller Intellectual Property or Seller PII stored by or on behalf of Seller, or the functionality or availability of the services provided by the Business. No Person has claimed any compensation from Seller for the loss of or unauthorized disclosure or transfer of personal data or information.

 

Section 4.6 Compliance with Laws.

From and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date: (i) engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, finance or control of, be employed by, associated with or in any manner connected with, or render services or advice to, any Person whose products or activities are the same as, similar to or in any way competitive with any of the products or activities of the Business as currently conducted or as currently contemplated by Seller to be conducted in the Restricted Territory, or divert or attempt to divert from Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer any business of any kind in which they are engaged, or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any supplier or customer of the Business to terminate, discontinue or alter his, her or its relationship with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer; (ii) either for itself or for any other Person, solicit or encourage, or take any action intended to solicit or encourage, any employee, director, officer, partner, independent contractor or consultant of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer participating, in whole or in part, in the Business to terminate, discontinue or alter his, her or its relationship with Buyer or any such Affiliate, or in any other way interfere with the relationship between any such Person and Buyer or any such Affiliate; or (iii) employ or otherwise engage as a contractor or consultant any Person employed or engaged as a contractor or consultant participating, in whole or in part, in the Business, by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer during such Person’s employment or engagement with Buyer or any such Affiliate or for one year following termination of such employment or engagement; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (x) indirectly owning (through a mutual fund or partnership that Seller or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, does not have the power or ability to make investment decisions on behalf of) up to five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any enterprise similar to the Business (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise); (y) making general public solicitations for employment for any position or from employing any employee of Buyer or any of its Affiliates who responds to such a general solicitation for employment not specifically directed to employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (z) taking actions as may be necessary for it to enforce its rights under this Agreement or solely in connection with the winding up and dissolution of Seller.

(b) Acknowledgment of Seller. Seller acknowledges that (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 6.3(a) constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s entering into and performing this Agreement, (ii) the value of the Purchased Assets and goodwill thereof are integral components of the value of the Business to Buyer, and (iii) the scope of the covenants contained in this Section 6.3, including as to time, are necessary to preserve the value of the Purchased Assets for Buyer and to protect the goodwill of the Business. Seller also acknowledges that the limitations of time and scope of activity agreed to in this Section 6.3 are reasonable because, among other things, (i) Buyer and Seller are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (ii) Seller has had unique access to the Trade Secrets and know-how of the Purchased Assets, including the plans and strategy (and, in particular, the competitive strategy) relating to the Purchased Assets, and (iii) Seller is receiving significant consideration in connection with the consummation of the Transaction.

 

(c) Non-competition Covenants: Scope and Choice of Law.

 

(i) It is the intention of the Parties that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent), as to time, geography, and scope, as is permitted by the law of that jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts in breach of these covenants. The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this Section 6.3 shall be deemed, and shall be construed as separate and independent agreements between Buyer and Seller.

 

(ii) If any such agreement or any part of such agreement is held invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part of them or any separate agreement not declared invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Agreement shall in such case be construed as if the invalid, void, or unenforceable provisions were omitted, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Section 6.3 within that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of any provisions of this Section 6.3 in any other jurisdiction.

 

(iii) If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the provisions of this Section 6.3 exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, then such provisions shall nevertheless be enforceable by such court against Seller upon such shorter term, or within such lesser geographic area or scope, as may be determined by such court to be reasonable and enforceable.

 

(d) The Parties agree that the covenants of Seller not to compete contained in this Section 6.3 may be assigned by Buyer to any Person to whom may be transferred the Purchased Assets by the sale or transfer of such assets or otherwise. It is the Parties’ intention that these covenants of Seller shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may succeed to the Purchased Assets (as acquired by Buyer under this Agreement) with the same force and effect as if these covenants were made directly with such successor.

 

 
11
 

 

(e) The Parties agree that in the event of a breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.3, monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect Buyer from, and compensate Buyer for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, Seller agrees that if it breaches or threatens breach of any provision of this Section 6.3, Buyer shall be entitled to, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Section 6.3. Buyer shall not be required, and Seller hereby waives the requirement, to post a bond or other security in connection with, or as a condition to, obtaining such relief before a court of competent jurisdiction. The duration of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.3 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days, if any, during which Seller or its successors and assigns or any of their Affiliates is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in breach of this Section 6.3.

 

Section 6.4 Termination of Distribution Agreement. Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, effective as of the Closing, (a) that certain Distribution and License Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2016, as amended from time to time, by and between Seller and Buyer (the “Distribution Agreement”) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and (b) the payment of the portion of the Closing Cash Consideration deliverable by Buyer to Seller at the Closing will relieve Buyer of any and all payment and other obligations to Seller under the Distribution Agreement; provided, however, that Seller acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of confidentiality and the protection of confidential information pursuant to Section 21 of the Distribution Agreement binding Seller shall survive the termination of such Distribution Agreement pursuant to its terms.

 

Section 6.5 Seller Debt Schedule; Release Letters. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a schedule (the “Seller Debt Schedule”) setting forth, separated by lender, any Seller Debt and the amounts of principal and interest outstanding thereunder, as of immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent necessary, Seller shall provide Buyer with an update of the Seller Debt Schedule at the Closing Date. A copy of the Seller Debt Schedule as delivered and updated by Seller in accordance with the foregoing is attached hereto as Schedule 6.5. Except with respect to Jack Rutledge, Seller shall cause each of the lenders of any Seller Debt (whether or not any amounts are then outstanding in respect thereof) to execute and deliver to Buyer prior to Closing customary “security release letters” or similar documents (collectively, the “Security Release Letters”) specifying that all security interests and other liens under or granted in connection with any corresponding loan and security agreements shall be released and discharged.

 

Section 6.6 Use of Name; Certificate of Amendment; Existence. Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing, Seller will not (and will cause its Affiliates not to) use the name “Robofusion” or any derivation thereof or any name deceptively similar to such names in any business enterprise or in any commercial relationship—except as needed in connection with the winding-up of the business by Seller. Within five (5) days following the Closing, Seller shall prepare and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to Seller’s Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to one dissimilar to Robofusion, Inc.

 

 
12
 

 

Section 6.7 Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, each Party agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done as promptly as practicable, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall take such further actions as may reasonably be required, appropriate or advisable by the other Party hereto to consummate the Transaction and to vest the Buyer with full title to all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, including transferring to Buyer any asset contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset which was erroneously or inadvertently not transferred to Buyer at the Closing.

 

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

 

(a) Allocation of Consideration.

 

(i) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth Buyer’s valuation of the Consideration and Buyer’s allocation to the Purchased Assets and other consideration, rights and covenants pursuant to the Transaction Documents of the total consideration deemed paid by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (the “Tax Consideration”), including the Consideration (as so valued pursuant to the Allocation Schedule), the Assumed Liabilities and all other relevant items that are properly includible in determining the amount paid by Buyer for such Purchased Assets for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

 

(ii) If Seller does not deliver a written objection within the ten (10) Business Day period following the date of delivery by Buyer of an Allocation Schedule to Seller, then effective as of the close of business on such 10th Business Day (or upon the earlier delivery of notice by Seller to Buyer that Seller has accepted such allocation schedule), such Allocation Schedule shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed to by all Parties, and all Parties shall (except as otherwise required pursuant to a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code)) prepare and file all tax returns and reports in a manner which is consistent with such Allocation Schedule. If Seller does deliver such a written objection within such ten (10) Business Day period, then Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes over the Allocation Schedule and to attempt to resolve any differences between them, and, in the event that Buyer and Seller are able to resolve such differences on or before the expiration of the 30th calendar day following the close of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Allocation Schedule, as agreed to by the Parties pursuant to such negotiations, shall be considered final and all Parties shall (except as otherwise required pursuant to a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code)) prepare and file all tax returns and reports in a manner which is consistent with such final Allocation Schedule; provided, however, if Buyer and Seller are not able to resolve all such disputes within such 30 calendar day period, Buyer and Seller shall each prepare and file their own tax returns and reports according to their own Allocation Schedules, provided that such allocation schedule is reasonable and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

 
13
 

 

(b) Responsibility for Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be solely responsible for all Taxes attributable to or imposed upon Seller and all Taxes resulting from the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Purchased Assets, or the conduct of the Business, during any Pre-Closing Period. To the extent relevant under this Agreement, Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Period: (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, to the extent feasible, on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the event or transaction giving rise to such Tax, and (ii) except as provided in (iii) below, with respect to periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise reasonably allocable to specific transactions or events, in proportion to the number of days in such period occurring through the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in such period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, in an amount equal to such Tax that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

 

(c) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 6.8(b), all Transfer Taxes shall be paid by Seller when due. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets from any such Transfer Taxes or otherwise minimize such Transfer Taxes, including by delivering, to the maximum extent possible, all software, technology and other similar Purchased Assets to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, by electronic means in any reasonable manner specified by Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of all necessary Tax Returns or other documents with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

 

(d) Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns as provided herein and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, 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

 

Section 6.9 Domestic and International Parties. For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing (the “Discussion Period”), Seller may (a) provide written notifications, as approved in writing by Buyer before any such notifications are being sent, to the counterparties of international or domestic distribution agreements between Seller and third parties that are in existence as of the date of this Agreement (such counterparties, the “International or Domestic Parties”). In the event that Seller proposes a refund or settlement payment to any International or Domestic Party, Seller shall provide Buyer with written notification of the material terms of such proposal, including, without limitation, the proposed aggregate payment (the “Payment Amount”) together with a copy of the applicable distribution agreement(s) with such International or Domestic Party. Buyer may, at its absolute and sole discretion, elect to pay the Payment Amount in cash to Seller (the date of any such payment, a “Payment Date”). Any Payment Amount delivered by Buyer to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.9 shall automatically reduce (without any further action by the Parties, notification to, or consent by Seller being required) the principal and accrued interest amount then outstanding under the Promissory Note on such Payment Date, provided, however, that the aggregate amount by which the principal and accrued interest amount outstanding under the Promissory Note is reduced hereunder shall not exceed the Seller’s Cash Indemnification Cap. Seller efforts made in full compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.9 during the Discussion Period shall not be otherwise prohibited by Section 6.3(a)(i).

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) All representations and warranties of Seller or Buyer under Articles IV and V respectively shall survive the Closing until the thirty six (36) month anniversary of the Closing Date such earlier date on which the Promissory Note is paid in full and the shares under the Warrant become exercisable (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that:

 

(i) all representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.2 (Authority), Section 4.4 (Title to Assets) and Section 4.7 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive indefinitely; and

 

(ii) any claim for indemnification based upon a breach of any such representation or warranty and asserted prior to the Survival Date by written notice in accordance with Section 8.4 shall survive until final resolution of such claim.

 

(b) The representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or in any other instrument executed in connection with this Agreement, and Buyer’s right to indemnification with respect thereto pursuant to this Article VIII, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer prior to or after the date of this Agreement or by reason of the fact that Buyer or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or incomplete prior to or after the date of this Agreement.

 

(c) For purposes of determining the Survival Date under 8.1(a), any payments on the Promissory Note or stock issued under the Warrants that are paid or issued to the escrow agent pursuant to Section 8.4(c) shall be treated as payments made on the Promissory Note or stock issued on the exercise of the Warrant on the date(s) on which such payments are made or such stock is issued to be held by the escrow agent under Section 8.4(c).

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all Damages, whether or not involving a third-party claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Buyer Damages”), arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

 

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Article IV;

 

(b) any breach of a covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Agreement;

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Article V; or

 

(b) any breach of a covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Agreement.

 

Section 8.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

 

(a) Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Proceeding by a third-party with respect to any matter referred to in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the party obligated to indemnify Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”), which notice shall include a description of the Third Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for the Third Party Claim, and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Proceeding giving rise to Third Party Claim at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a nationally recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, however, that:

 

(i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnitor, and except that the Indemnitor shall pay all of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee);

 

 
17
 

 

(ii) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (2) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects; (3) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; (4) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee; or (5) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; and

 

(iii) if the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

 

(b) Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim against any Indemnitor under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim to the Indemnitor promptly following discovery of any indemnifiable Damages, but in any event not later than the last date set forth in Section 8.1 for making such claim. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail (to the extent then known) the amount or an estimated amount of such Direct Claim, and shall specify the facts and circumstances which form the basis or bases for such Direct Claim, and shall further specify the representations, warranties or covenants alleged to have been breached. Upon receipt or any such notice, the Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee as to whether the indemnitor accepts liability for any Damages. If the Indemnitor disputes its liability with respect to such Direct Claim, as provided above, it shall notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. During this thirty (30) day period, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall attempt to resolve such dispute in good faith. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee, such claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed an immediately due and payable obligation of the Indemnitor hereunder. If the Indemnitee disputes the Direct Claim and the Indemnitor and Indemnitee do not resolve the Direct Claim within the applicable thirty (30) day period, the dispute shall be resolved as with any other dispute under this Agreement subject to Section 9.7.

 

 
18
 

 

(c) All Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, only after any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder (in each case a “Claim Settlement”) in the case where the Buyer is the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnditee any sums due and owing pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after such Claim Settlement; and in the case where the Seller is the Indemnitor, the set off described in Section 8.7 shall apply. For these purposes, during the period that any Direct Claim made by Buyer Indemnitee in good faith or any Third Party Claim is pending, Buyer shall pay or issue, as the case may be, to an escrow agent mutually agreeable to Seller and Buyer pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow agreement any payments that would otherwise be due to Seller under the Promissory Note or any stock that would otherwise be issued upon exercise of the Warrant that would be subject to offset under Section 8.7 assuming for this purpose that the pending Claim had been resolved in the Third Party’s favor as of the date such Third Party Claim was filed for the full amount claimed due therein or if the pending Direct Claim had been resolved in Buyer’s favor for the full amount of such Claim on the date notice of such Direct Claim was provided by Buyer to the Seller. Any such payments on the Promissory Note or issuances of stock on the exercise of the Warrant shall in all respects be subject to the limitations under this Article VIII. Upon the resolution of any such Claim, the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly instruct the escrow agent to distribute any payments and/or shares of stock held in escrow to Buyer and/or Seller as their interests therein shall appear based on such resolution.

 

Section 8.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer (i) under Section 8.2(a), unless the aggregate of all Buyer Damages exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Seller’s Basket”), in which case the Buyer shall be entitled to recover all Buyer Damages, in excess of the Seller’s Basket or (ii) under Section 8.2, to the extent that the aggregate of all Buyer Damages exceeds (A) One Million dollars ($1,000,000) less any Payment Amounts delivered by Buyer under Section 6.9 (“Seller’s Cash Indemnification Cap”) plus (B) the aggregate value of 50% of the shares of Buyer’s common stock issuable under the Warrant as such value is determined in Section 12 of the Warrant (“Seller’s Warrant Indemnification Cap”; and together with Seller’s Cash Indemnification Cap, “Seller’s Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that (I) the Seller’s Basket and the Seller’s Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any such indemnification obligations arising out of, relating to or resulting from (y) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller; or (z) a breach of any of the Fundamental Representations and (II) except for Buyer Damages arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud by Seller, in no event shall the aggregate of all Buyer Damages hereunder exceed the Consideration. The preceding notwithstanding, except for Buyer Damages arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud by Seller, if Buyer shall have a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(c) which it would also have a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a), which claim would be subject to the Seller’s Basket or the Seller’s Indemnification Cap, then the Seller’s Basket shall apply to such claim even if brought under Section 8.2(c); provided, however, that the Seller’s Basket shall not apply to a Claim for an Excluded Liability that is listed on Schedule 2.3(a).

 

 
19
 

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller under Section 8.3(a) (i) unless the aggregate of all Seller Damages exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Buyer’s Basket”), in which case Seller shall be entitled to recover all Seller Damages, in excess of the Buyer’s Basket or (ii) to the extent that the aggregate of all Seller Damages exceeds the Closing Cash Consideration and the aggregate Note Consideration paid by Buyer to Seller under the Promissory Note (the “Buyer’s Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that (I) the Buyer’s Basket and the Buyer’s Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Buyer indemnification obligation arising out of, relating to or resulting from (y) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Buyer; or (z) a breach of any of Buyer’s representations or warranties in Section 5.4 and (II) except for Seller Damages arising out, relating to or resulting from fraud by Buyer, in no event shall the aggregate of all Seller Damages hereunder exceed the Consideration.

 

Section 8.6 Other Provisions Concerning Indemnification.

 

(a) For purposes of determining the amount of Damages for this Article VIII (but not for determining a breach), all representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement shall be construed as if the term “material” (or any similar term) was omitted from such representations and warranties.

 

(b) The amount of Damages that an Indemnitee may be indemnified for pursuant to this Article VIII shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee under any insurance policy; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall not be obligated to submit or pursue a claim for the recovery of insurance proceeds for which insurance proceeds are available.

 

(c) Buyer and Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of Damages.

 

(d) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Article VIII, the calculation of Damages shall not include losses arising because of a change after Closing in Legal Requirements or accounting principles. A Person seeking to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be entitled to multiple recovery for the same Damages.

 

(e) Any payment made by Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Article VIII shall, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration for all relevant Tax purposes.

 

Section 8.7 Setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer’s sole source of indemnification for any Buyer Damages pursuant to this Article VIII, shall be limited to a set off of any such Buyer Damages against:

 

(a) first, any unpaid payments on the Promissory Note when such payments are due and owing, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of set off by Buyer under this subsection (a) shall not exceed Seller’s Cash Indemnification Cap; and

 

 
20
 

 

(b) next, shares of Buyer’s common stock for which the Warrant has not been exercised at the time such Warrant becomes exercisable by reducing such Warrant by a number of shares of Buyer’s common stock the aggregate value of which as determined pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrant is equal to the remaining Buyer Damages, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of set off by Buyer under this subsection (b) shall not exceed Seller’s Warrant Indemnification Cap; unless such Buyer Damages arise out of, relate to or result from fraud by Seller, in which case the Seller’s Cash Indemnification Cap and Seller’s Warrant Indemnification Cap shall not limit Buyer’s setoff rights hereunder.

Warrant Number: C-1

Date of Issuance: December 29, 2016

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK OF
GENERATION NEXT FRANCHISE BRANDS, INC.

 

 

For value received, Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to Robofusion, Inc. (“Holder”) the right to purchase from the Company, at the option of Holder, that number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) as set forth in Section 2 hereof (the “Warrant”). For purposes of this Warrant, “Asset Purchase Agreement” shall refer to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 29, 2016, by and between the Company and the Holder, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms.

 

1. Term of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including without limitation Section 12 hereof , the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, during the term commencing the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 28, 2021.

 

2. Exercise Amount and Price.

 

(a) The exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) at which this Warrant may be exercised is $0.50, as such price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, including without limitation Section 12 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised for the purchase of up to One Million Five Hundred Twenty Thousand (1,520,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

3. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder as follows, in each such case, subject to the terms and conditions herein, including without limitation Section 12 hereof: (i) up to 506,666 shares of Common Stock on or after the one (1) year anniversary of the Date of Issuance, (ii) up to an additional 506,667 shares of Common Stock on or after the two (2) year anniversary of the Date of Issuance and (iii) up to an additional 506,667 shares of Common Stock on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of Issuance, in each such case, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the principal offices of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), upon payment in cash or by check acceptable to the Company of the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased.

 

 
41
 

 

(b) Net Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(a) above, by the Holder through a cashless exchange by delivery and surrender of this Warrant with a Notice of Exercise duly executed. In such event, Holder shall receive that number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities to which Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 11 hereof) (the “Warrant Stock”) in exchange for the Warrant, or portion thereof, computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A - B)

    A

 

 

where:

X =

the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Holder;

 

 

 

 

 

Y =

the number of shares of Warrant Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant;

 

 

 

 

 

A =

the Market Value (as defined below) of one (1) share of the Warrant Stock on the date of exercise; and

 

 

 

 

 

B =

the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant).

 

For purposes hereof, the “Market Value” of the Warrant Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on a national securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Market Value shall be deemed to be the volume weighted average trading price of the Warrant Stock on such exchange for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of exercise indicated in the Notice of Exercise (or if no reported sales took place on such day, the last date on which any such sales took place prior to the date of exercise); and (ii) if traded over-the-counter only and not on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of exercise indicated in the Notice of Exercise (or if no reported sales took place on such day, the last date on which any such sales took place prior to the date of exercise). If the Warrant Stock is not traded on the over-the-counter market or through the Nasdaq Stock Market or on an exchange, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder through a cashless exchange as described above but the Market Value per share of Warrant Stock shall be the price per share of Warrant Stock that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Warrant Stock sold by the Company as such price shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

(c) Effective Time of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

 

 
42
 

 

4. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or (b) in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount. The Holder shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses incidental to replacement of this Warrant.

 

6. Rights of Stockholder. This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have been issued.

 

7. Warrant Not Transferable. This Warrant and the rights hereunder are not transferable and/or assignable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder may assign or transfer this Warrant (but only with all related obligations) to one or more of Holder’s “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act); provided, however, that (a) Holder provides the Company with written notice of the transfer within a reasonable time after such transfer, which notice shall include the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant. Upon such transfer in accordance with this Section 7, such transferee or assignee shall have the rights and obligations of Holder under this Warrant.

 

8. Compliance with Securities Laws.

 

(a) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock (and any common stock to be issued upon conversion thereof) to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock (or any common stock to be issued upon conversion thereof) to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act, or any state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if reasonably requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the shares of Warrant Stock (and any common stock to be issued upon conversion thereof) so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

 

 
43
 

 

(b) Holder further acknowledges that it is familiar with the definition of “accredited investor” in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and certifies that Holder is an accredited investor as defined in such rule.

 

(c) Holder understands that neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Stock (and any common stock to be issued upon conversion thereof) have been registered under the Act, and therefore they may not be sold, assigned or transferred unless (i) a registration statement under the Act is in effect with respect thereto or (ii) an exemption from registration is found to be available to the satisfaction of the Company.

 

(d) Holder further acknowledges and agrees that the stock certificates evidencing the Warrant Stock (and any common stock to be issued upon conversion thereof) shall bear a restrictive legend, substantially in the following form (in addition to such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of this Warrant, any applicable law or any other agreement to which Holder is a party):

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (A) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (B) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (C) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.”

 

9. Notice of Certain Events.

 

(a) Whenever the Exercise Price or number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 11 hereof and if so requested by Holder, the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer, or other similar officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.

 

(b) The Company shall provide prompt notice to the Holder of any decision by the Board of Directors to liquidate, wind-up or dissolve the Company.

 

10. Amendments; Waivers.

 

(a) The provisions of this Warrant may be amended (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10(a) shall be binding upon Holder and Holder’s successors and assigns.

 

 
44
 

 

(b) No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

 

11. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Change in Control.

 

(i) If, (A) at any time on or after the Effective Time and (B) while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, there shall be a Change in Control, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such transaction which a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such transaction if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such transaction, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.

 

(ii) For purposes of this Section 11, a “Change in Control” shall mean (A) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (B) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (C) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person.

 

(b) Reclassification, etc. If, (i) at any time on or after the Date of Issuance and (ii) while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the Company shall, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.

 

(c) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If, (i) at any time on or after the Closing and (ii) while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the Company shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. Upon an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11(c), the number of shares subject to this Warrant (which were the subject of such split, subdivision or combination) shall be adjusted accordingly such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchase of such shares shall remain the same as before such split, subdivision or combination.

 

 
45
 

 

(d) Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If, (i) at any time on or after the Closing and (ii) while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or other distribution in respect of the Warrant Stock, then, and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

 

12. Right of Setoff. This Warrant is subject to the setoff provisions, as provided in, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s setoff rights against any shares of Common Stock due and exercisable hereunder shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of Buyer Damages as provided in, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Article VIII, of the Purchase Agreement, by (b) the Exercise Price.

 

13. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.

 

14. Governing Law. The construction, validity and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by the internal law, and not the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of Delaware.

 

15. Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Warrant shall be made in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

This NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date written below by and between Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc., Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”) and the undersigned (referred to as “Equityholder”) and is effective upon the date of the closing of the acquisition (“Effective Date”) by Buyer of all intellectual property, including goodwill, of Robofusion, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Seller”). Equityholder and Buyer agree that the basis for this Agreement is as follows:

 

A.Concurrently with or shortly after the date of this Agreement, Seller is entering into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Buyer regarding the purchase by Buyer of all of Seller’s intellectual property, including goodwill (the “Purchase”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. Equityholder and Buyer agree that references in this Agreement to Buyer shall include references to Buyer’s Affiliates and that references in this Agreement to Seller shall include references to any of its Subsidiaries.

 

 

B.Equityholder also acknowledges and agrees that he holds a substantial and material ownership interest in the Seller, and is willing to enter into this Agreement as a condition to the closing of the Purchase thereof and to protect Buyer’s legitimate interests as a buyer of all of Seller’s intellectual property, including goodwill.

 

 

C.In connection with Equityholder’s involvement with the Seller, Equityholder has been or will be (i) exposed to Trade Secrets and confidential business and technical information and strategies that provide Seller with a legitimate competitive advantage in the conduct of its business and (ii) brought into contact with existing and potential Customers (as defined below), suppliers and vendors of Seller.

 

 

D.The businesses of Seller and Buyer are highly competitive. Buyer devotes, and Seller has devoted in relation to the Business and the Purchased Assets, a substantial amount of time, effort and money to the development and maintenance of its Confidential Information (as defined below) and Customers (as defined below), and such Confidential Information and Customer information after the Effective Date constitute valuable assets of Buyer.

 

 

E.Buyer and Equityholder both agree that, prior to the consummation of the Purchase, Seller’s business included the Restricted Business (as defined below) in the Restricted Territory (as defined below). Buyer represents and Equityholder understands that, following the Purchase, Buyer will continue to engage in the Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory.

 

 

F.The parties intend this Agreement to be in compliance with California Business and Professions Code Section 16601 to the extent that it is applicable, and further intend for it to be fully enforceable under any applicable laws.

 

Now, therefore, Equityholder and Buyer, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, including the agreement of Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the Purchase (the consummation of which is a condition precedent to the enforceability of this Agreement and, should the Purchase not be completed, this Agreement will become null and void), the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, and acknowledging and agreeing to all of the above, hereby further agree as follows:

 

 
63
 

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Definitions

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions will apply:

 

 

(a)Confidential Information” means (i) all Trade Secrets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, (ii) any other confidential and/or proprietary information of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether written or unwritten, including, without limitation, any information derived from reports, investigations, research, work in progress, codes, marketing and sales programs, financial projections, cost summaries, pricing formula, contract analyses, financial information, projections, or confidential filings with any state or federal agency, and (iii) all other confidential concepts, methods of doing business, ideas, materials or information prepared or performed for, by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates by their employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, or consultants.

 

 

 

 

(b)Customer” means any person or entity which immediately prior to the time of the Effective Date is, or was within the 12 months prior to the Effective Date, a prospective or existing direct or indirect customer of Seller or the Business.

 

 

 

 

(c)Restricted Business” means any company, business or enterprise, or any product line, line of business, organizational unit, division or other cohort of individuals within a company, business or enterprise, whose primary focus is the development, design, manufacturing, sale or distribution of interactive robotic kiosks or other vending machines, particularly targeted at the food and beverage industry, or any other business activities related to automated merchandising, including any services related to each of the foregoing.

 

 

 

 

(d)Restricted Territory” means any country, province, state, city, or other similar political subdivision of the United States and throughout the world.

 

2. Non-Competition

 

 

(a)Notwithstanding any written agreement to the contrary, during the Restricted Term (as defined below), Equityholder agrees that Equityholder shall not act directly or indirectly in any capacity (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director, manager, owner, financier, joint venturer or otherwise) for a Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, or permit his/her name to be used in connection with a Restricted Business.

 

 

 

 

(b)Notwithstanding Section 2(a) above, Equityholder may own, directly or indirectly (through a mutual fund or partnership that Equityholder does not have the power or ability to make investment decisions on behalf of) up to five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any company, enterprise or entity conducting Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such company, enterprise or entity).

 

 

 

 

(c)The term of this non-competition provision shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend through the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date (such period, the “Restricted Term”).

 

 
64
 

 

 

(d)It is the intention of the Parties that the covenants contained in this Section 2 be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent), as to time, geography, and scope, as is permitted by the law of that jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts in breach of these covenants. These covenants shall be governed by and construed according to that law (from among those jurisdictions arguably applicable to this Agreement and those in which a breach of this Agreement is alleged to have occurred or to be threatened) which best gives them effect. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the provisions of this Section 2 exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions shall nevertheless be enforceable by such court against the Equityholder upon such shorter term, or within such lesser geographic area or scope, as may be determined by such court to be reasonable and enforceable.
 

3. Non-Solicitation

 

 

(a)Equityholder agrees that Equityholder will not directly or indirectly or by action in concert with others, during the Restricted Term:

 

 

(i)solicit or otherwise entice any of the employees, directors, officers, partners, independent contractors or consultants of Buyer or any of its Affiliates participating, in whole or in part, in the Business to terminate, discontinue or alter his relationship with Buyer or any such Affiliate, or in any other way interfere with the relationship between any such Person and Buyer or any such Affiliate. Equityholder acknowledges that this covenant is necessary to enable Buyer to maintain a stable workforce and retain its competitive advantage;

 

 

 

 

(ii)contact any Customers of the Seller for the purpose of diverting or taking away from Buyer or the Seller any business or otherwise interfere with, impair or damage Buyer's relationship with any Customers; or

 

 

 

 

(iii)induce or attempt to induce any suppliers, licensees, or distributors of Seller’s Business to cease doing business with Buyer or otherwise interfere with, impair or damage Buyer's relationship with any supplier, licensee, or distributor of the Business that existed as of the Effective Date.

 

 

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Section 3, (1) the placement of general advertisements which may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area, but which are not targeted directly or indirectly towards the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ employees (“General Advertisements”), or (2) the hiring of any such employee if such person or entity responded to a General Advertisement without any inducement or solicitation prior to such response, shall, in each case, not be deemed to be a breach or violation of this Section 3.

 

4. Confidential Information

 

 

(a)In order to protect Confidential Information, Equityholder agrees that at all times after the Effective Date, Equityholder will not disclose nor provide to anyone, and will not use, modify, copy or adapt any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was disclosed to Equityholder or Seller by or on behalf of Buyer or held or owned by Equityholder or Seller prior to the Effective Date.

 

 
65
 

 

 

(b)Equityholder agrees that its obligations hereunder are in addition to any similar obligations he has under any employment agreement or arrangement with Seller or that he has under any fiduciary duties owed towards Seller.

 

 

 

 

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Equityholder does not have to comply with this Section 4 with respect to Confidential Information that has become publicly and widely known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Equityholder or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved.
 

5. Breach

 

 

(a)Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that if Equityholder should breach any of the covenants, restrictions and agreements contained herein, (a) irreparable loss and injury would result to the Buyer, (b) monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect Buyer from, and compensate Buyer for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach and (c) damages arising from such a breach may be difficult to ascertain. Equityholder therefore agrees that, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or at equity, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain from a court of law or equity all necessary temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or redress a breach or threatened breach by Equityholder of any covenant, restriction or agreement contained in this Agreement and to specific performance of any such covenant, restriction or agreement. Buyer shall not be required, and Equityholder hereby waives the requirement, to post a bond or other security in connection with, or as a condition to, obtaining such relief or specific performance before a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

 

 

 

(b)The duration of any applicable covenant, restriction or agreement set forth in this Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days, if any, during which Equityholder (or his successor or assign) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in breach of such covenant, restriction or agreement.

 

6. Acknowledgments

 

 

(a)The recitals to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference. Equityholder acknowledges and agrees with such recitals, and further agrees that the value of the consideration received by Seller and, through his holding of equity securities in Seller, Equityholder in connection with the Purchase Agreement is substantial and that preservation of the confidential and proprietary information, goodwill, know-how and customer relations relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets is a material part of the consideration which Buyer is receiving under the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(b)Equityholder further acknowledges and agrees that Equityholder (a) is familiar with and has carefully considered the covenants set forth above in this Agreement, (b) is fully aware of Equityholder’s obligations hereunder, (c) has been actively involved in the management of the Seller’s business, (d) is in possession of Confidential Information, (e) understands that one of the material inducements for Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement and pay the Consideration to the Seller is Equityholder’s agreement to enter into an agreement containing the covenants set forth in this Agreement, (f) understands that the goodwill and know-how associated with the Seller prior to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is an integral, substantial and material component of the value of the Business to Buyer and is reflected in the value of the cash and other consideration being paid for the assets, properties, goodwill, rights and claims of, or related to, Seller’s business, (g) understands that Equityholder’s agreement to the terms set forth in this Agreement is necessary to preserve the value of Seller’s business and the Transferred Assets for Buyer following the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (h) agrees to the reasonableness of the character, duration, geographic area and subject matter scope of the covenants set forth in this Agreement and that such covenants shall continue through the Restricted Term, (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Seller currently conducts the Restricted Business throughout the Restricted Territory, (j) agrees that the covenants set forth above in this Agreement are necessary to protect the Buyer’s Confidential Information, goodwill, know-how, stable workforce, and customer relations, and (k) understands that such covenants are separately bargained-for consideration and are material inducements to Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement.

 

 
66
 

 

 

(c)Equityholder agrees that the covenants set forth above in this Agreement do not confer a benefit upon Buyer disproportionate to the detriment of Equityholder. Equityholder represents that the execution of this Agreement, and the performance of Equityholder’s obligations under this Agreement, do not and will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other contract of which Equityholder is a party or any order to which Equityholder is subject.

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
UNDER TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.1445-2(B)

 

On December 29, 2016, Robofusion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Transferor”), and Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Transferee”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Transferor sold and transferred certain assets to Transferee.

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.

 

To inform Transferee that withholding of the tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest to Transferee by Transferor, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

 

1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Income Tax Regulations);

 

2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

3. The U.S. employer identification number of Transferor is 20 ###-###-####; and

 

4. Transferor’s address is:             Robofusion, Inc.

         2300 Clements Ferry Road

         Charleston, SC 29492 USA

 

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
