3
2.2.2 Cancellation of Noteholder Indebtedness.

2.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Interests held by Company Members who did not execute this Agreement in connection with the Merger, who comply with all of the relevant provisions of Sections ###-###-#### and ###-###-#### ###-###-#### of the LLC Act and have not effectively withdrawn, lost or failed to perfect any appraisal rights thereunder (the “Dissenting Interests”), shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration unless and until such Company Members shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the LLC Act. Any such Company Member who holds Dissenting Interests shall have only such rights in respect of the Dissenting Shares owned by them as are provided by Sections ###-###-#### and ###-###-#### ###-###-#### of the LLC Act. If any such Company Member shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each of such Member’s Dissenting Interests shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon, pursuant to the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement. Any Party who receives any notice with respect to Dissenting Interests shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Membership Interests, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the LLC Act or otherwise received by the Company relating to Company Members’ rights of appraisal under any applicable Law (including the LLC Act), and (b) the opportunity, at its own expense, to direct on behalf of Surviving Corporation all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the LLC Act. Neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. No Company Member (other than a holder of Dissenting Interests), nor the Noteholders shall have any liability to any Party with respect to any rights asserted by Company Members holding Dissenting Interests pursuant to this Section 2.4, including under ARTICLE VIII.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Company and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Company enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the effect of (a) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general equitable principles, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a Proceeding at law or in equity. The board of managers of Company has, either by written consent or at a meeting duly called, (i) unanimously approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) recommended the adoption of this Agreement by the Company Members (which recommendation has not been modified or rescinded in any respect) and (iii) directed that this Agreement and the Merger be submitted to the Company Members for their approval and adoption.

Subject only to the filing of the Articles of Merger in accordance with the LLC Act, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, conflict with or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, or other agreement or instrument including, without limitation each Material Contract, or the creation of an Encumbrance on assets (any such conflict, violation, default, right, loss, or creation, a “Violation”). Except as set forth in this Section 3.1.4 or Section 3.1.4 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or registration, declaration, or filing with or exemption by, any (y) third party or (z) court, administrative agency, or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, whether federal, state, or local, domestic or foreign (each a “Governmental Entity”) (each consent from a Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Consent”), is required by or with respect to Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by Company of the Transactions other than the Articles of Merger.
3.1.5 Financial Statements. The unaudited balance sheet of Company as of August 31, 2020 (the “Company Balance Sheet”), and the related, unaudited statements of income, changes in members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the prior two years (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) have been provided to Parent. The Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of Company as at such dates and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject to normal, recurring audit adjustments not material in scope or amount and the absence of notes), and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto). Since the date of the Company Balance Sheet, there has been no change in Company’s accounting policies or the methods of making accounting estimates or changes in estimates that are material to the Financial Statements.

There are no pending Proceedings or threatened Proceedings in writing, between Company and any current or former employee, which controversies could reasonably be expected to result in an action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration, or investigation before any agency, court, or tribunal, foreign or domestic, or any other claim pending in any court or administrative agency from any current or former employee or any other Person arising out of Company’s status as employer or purported employer or any workplace practices or policies.
3.1.9 Employee Benefit Plans. Company has never had, and does not currently have, any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), whether or not subject to ERISA, any incentive or deferred compensation, equity incentive, employment, severance, retention, change of control, profit sharing, retirement, fringe benefit, welfare, post-employment welfare, vacation or paid-time-off, equity purchase, option, phantom equity or equity incentive plan, policy, program, agreement, or arrangement, with respect to which Company is obligated to contribute (each a “Plan”).
3.1.10 Real Property; Leases. Company does not own, and has never owned, real property. Section 3.1.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each lease and sublease in effect on the date of this Agreement under which Company leases or subleases (a) real property (as either a tenant or subtenant), or (b) personal property (in case of either clause (a) or (b), a “Company Lease”). No default by Company, or to Company’s knowledge, by lessor or sublessor, exists under any Company Lease, and all payments of rent, operating expenses, and other sums due under each Company Leases are current as of the date hereof. No Company Lease is terminable because of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

No consent is required from any party under any Company Lease in connection with the completion of the Transactions, and Company has not received notice that a party to any Company Lease intends to cancel, terminate, or refuse to renew any Company Lease or to exercise any option or other right under such Company Lease, except where the failure to receive such consent, or where such cancellation, termination, or refusal, would not result, or reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
3.1.11 Tangible Assets. Company has good and marketable title to, a valid leasehold interest in or a valid license to use, all the material tangible and fixed assets used by them in its business to generate revenue, which are located on its premises, shown on the Balance Sheet or have been acquired thereafter (the “Tangible Assets”), free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and except for items disposed of after the date of the Financial Statements in the ordinary course of business.

ARTICLE IX
CLAIMS
9.1 Notice of Claims and Expenses. In the event of discovery of any Proceeding or other amount that an Indemnified Person believes gives rise to Indemnifiable Amounts (a “Claim”), such Indemnified Person will give Parent written notice of such Claim. To be valid under this Article IX, each notice of a Claim (the “Notice of Claim”) must be delivered to the Parent no later than the date that is Twenty-Four (24) months after the Effective Date (the “Release Date”). Each Notice of Claim will include the following: (i) a statement that such Indemnified Person believes it is entitled to Indemnifiable Amounts under Article VIII, (ii) the actual Indemnifiable Amounts being claimed, and (iii) a summary of known, relevant facts with respect to such Claim.

If Parent disagrees with the validity or amount of all or a portion of such Claim made by the Indemnified Person, Parent will provide to the Indemnified Person written notice thereof (the “Indemnification Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period. If no Indemnification Dispute Notice is timely provided to the Indemnified Person within the Dispute Period or if the indemnifying party provides notice that it does not have a dispute with respect to such Claim for indemnification, then such Claim will be deemed approved and consented to by the indemnifying party (such Claim being referred to herein as an “Approved Indemnification Claim”). Parent will issue shares of Parent Common Stock in satisfaction of the Approved Indemnification Claim to the Company Indemnified Person within five (5) business days after such Claim is determined to be an Approved Indemnification Claim, or to the Parent Indemnified Person on such date as any Earn-Out Payment is made. If an Indemnification Dispute Notice is provided to the Indemnified Person within the Dispute Period and Parent and the Indemnified Person do not agree to the validity and/or amount of such disputed Claim, Parent and the Indemnified Person shall negotiate in good faith for a period of at least sixty (60) days to resolve the dispute. If the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person are unable to come to an agreement regarding such disputed Claim during such sixty (60) day period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.3.
19
9.3 Arbitration. If there is a dispute with respect to a Claim, and no settlement agreement is reached despite negotiations between the parties in accordance with Section 9.2, then either party may, by written notice to the other, submit such dispute to binding arbitration to the American Arbitration Association in Miami Florida, arbitration being the exclusive forum for all Claims between the Parties, and same shall administer the arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the execution of this Agreement (the “Rules”). Arbitration in accordance with this Section 9.3 will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually selected by the parties; provided that if the parties fail to mutually select an arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days after such dispute is submitted to the American Arbitration Association, then Parent will follow the arbitrator selection procedures in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator’s authority will be confined to determining (a) whether the Indemnified Person is entitled to recover any Indemnifiable Amounts. The final decision of the arbitrator will include the dollar value of the award to the Indemnified Person, if any, and will be furnished to both parties in writing. The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and responsibility for all costs of arbitration paid or payable by the prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, will be allocated among the parties in the discretion of the arbitrator and specified in the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator will not have the power to alter, amend, or otherwise affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or any other provision of this Agreement or any other documents that are executed in connection with this Agreement.
