Section 8.03 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification in respect of Third-Party Claims:

 

(a)

An indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party Action with respect to which such indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such indemnified Party under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the indemnifying Party to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.

 

 

	(b)	In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any indemnified Party, such indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the indemnifying Party, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 are applicable to such Action and the indemnifying Party will indemnify such indemnified Party in respect of such Action pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the indemnifying Party’s liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the indemnifying Party to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
	(c)	If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.03(b), then the indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the indemnifying Party and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such indemnified Party unless (i) the indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying Party.
	(d)	If the indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.03(b), the indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the indemnifying Party withdraws from or fails to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the indemnified Party for such liability. If the indemnifying Party does not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the indemnifying Party fails to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the indemnifying Party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the indemnified Party (at the expense of the indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the indemnified Party. In the event the indemnified Party retains control of the Third-Party Claim, the indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

 

(e)

If the indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.03(b) and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the indemnifying Party’s expense. The indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of such indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the indemnified Party (such as an increase in the indemnified Party’s income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other Actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.

 

Section 8.04 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by this Article VIII for costs, disbursements or expenses of any indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Action shall be made by periodic payments by the indemnifying Party to each indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

EXHIBIT A

 

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

Fiscal Year 2019

Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements (10-K)

 

 

Schedule 1

 

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. Disclosure Schedule

 

Section 4.01 - ORGANIZATION

 

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“Novo Integrated”, “Company”, “Parent”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, Novo Integrated was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, Novo Integrated’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

 

Section 4.06 - STOCK OPTIONS and WARRANTS

 

As of the Effective Date, a number of these options and warrants are vested, as follows: (i) There are stock options issued and outstanding to acquire 10,095,000 shares of Company Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.16 to $0.95 per share of Company Common Stock.

 

2018 Incentive Plan

 

On January 16, 2018, the Parent adopted the Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Under the 2018 Plan, 10,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance to employees, non-employees, directors and key consultants to Novo Integrated or its subsidiaries. The 2018 Plan authorizes equity-based and cash-based incentives for participants. Currently, there are 9,875,000 shares available for award at under the 2018 Plan.

 

Potential Common Stock Obligation for Asset Purchase Agreement DCGT and GTL Technology

 

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 14, 2014, by and between Robert L. Scragg and Barbara J. Scragg (collectively, the “Sellers”), Alpha Engines Corporation (“Alpha”) and the Parent (the “APA”), if either (i) the Parent certifies as to the viability of the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (the “DCGT”) or the Gas-to-Liquid (the “GTL”) technology or (ii) commercial sales of either the DCGT or GTL technology occur by the Parent, then the Parent is obligated to issue 50,000 common shares to the Sellers. The APA references 1,000,000 shares of Parent’s Common Stock, but with the effect of the Parent’s 1:20 reverse split, effective May 5, 2015, this potential obligation is now 50,000 common shares. With the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement in which Novo Healthnet Limited is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, the DCGT and the GTL alternative energy technology purchased under this subject APA is dormant and not worth pursuing or selling which makes it extremely unlikely this obligation will ever be paid.

 

Section 4.08 - INFORMATION (Corporate History, Subsidiaries and Predecessor Entity)

 

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

 

Share Exchange Agreement to Acquire Novo Healthnet Limited and its Subsidiaries

 

On April 25, 2017, the Parent entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between (i) Novo Integrated; (ii) NHL, (iii) ALMC-ASAP Holdings Inc. (“ALMC”); (iv) Michael Gaynor Family Trust (the “MGFT”); (v) 1218814 Ontario Inc. (“1218814”) and (vi) Michael Gaynor Physiotherapy Professional Corp. (“MGPP,” and together with ALMC, MGFT and 1218814, the “NHL Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Novo Integrated agreed to acquire from the NHL Shareholders all of the shares of both common and preferred stock of NHL, held by the NHL Shareholders, in exchange for the issuance by Novo Integrated to the NHL Shareholders of shares of Novo Integrated’s common stock, such that following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the NHL Shareholders would own 167,797,406 restricted shares Novo Integrated common stock, representing 85% of the issued and outstanding Novo Integrated common stock, calculated including all granted and issued options or warrants to acquire Novo Integrated common stock as of the Effective Date, but to exclude shares of Novo Integrated common stock that are subject to a then-current Regulation S offering that was undertaken by Novo Integrated (the “Exchange”).

 

 

On May 9, 2017, the Exchange closed and, as a result, NHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Integrated. For additional reference, this material event was filed, with the SEC, on 5/1/17 and 5/9/17.

 

On September 5, 2013, NHL was incorporated under the laws of Ontario province, Canada. On September 16, 2013, Novo Peak Health Inc., Novo Assessments Inc. and Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited were formed as Ontario, Canada corporate entities, each wholly owned by NHL. On November 18, 2014, Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, was formed with NHL owning an 80% interest. On April 1, 2017, NHL purchased assets of APKA Health to expand our eldercare community OT services.

 

Novomerica Health Group, Inc., a Parent wholly owned Subsidiary

 

Effective November 3, 2017, Novomerica Health Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NHG”), was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. NHG was formed for the Parent to have a vehicle for U.S. based asset acquisitions, joint ventures and/or other operational opportunities.
