Section 3.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid to the Sellers for the Business and the Purchased Assets shall be Eighty Five Million Dollars ($85,000,000) subject to adjustment as provided below. At the Closing, against delivery to the Buyer of appropriate instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment with respect to the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall pay to Seller the sum of the Accounts Receivable Value, the Inventory Value, Prepaid Expense Value, the Fixed Asset Value. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

(a) Seventy-Nine Million Six Hundred Seventy-Nine Thousand Twenty-Six Dollars ($79,679,026), in immediately available funds (the “Cash Portion of the Purchase Price”);

(b) Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) (“Working Capital Holdback”) shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the adjustment amounts provided for by Section 3.2; provided that any amount remaining following all of such final adjustments shall be paid to Sellers on or prior to the fifth (5^th) business day following such final determination;

(c) Three Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars ($3,620,974) shall be retained by Buyer as the GSP Liability pursuant and subject to adjustment described in Section 3.4;

(d) Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) shall be retained by Buyer relative to the Accrued Bonus as described herein. At Closing, Buyer will assume Sellers’ pro-rated portion of the estimated fiscal year 2015 annual recast bonus (the “Accrued Bonus”) which equates to 8/12ths of Eight Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($895,000), or Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000). To the extent the actual fiscal year 2015 bonus paid by Buyer is less than $895,000, Buyer shall promptly pay Sellers their pro-rated share of the amount by which the actual bonus paid by Buyer to the those employees formerly employed by Sellers at Closing is less than $895,000;

(e) Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) shall be retained by Buyer relative to the Accrued Excess Bonus described herein. At Closing, Buyer will assume the Seller’s accrued excess bonus (the “Accrued Excess Bonus”) of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

Any portion of the Accrued Excess Bonus not paid out by Buyer shall be promptly returned to Sellers.

Section 3.2 Working Capital Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted based on Sellers working capital as follows:

(a) Estimated Closing Working Capital. Within three (3) business days prior to the Closing date, Sellers will prepare and provide to Buyer an estimate of the Closing Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 3.2(b) below) (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) based on Sellers’ books, records and other information then available, to determine the Estimated Closing Working Capital, for the purpose of estimating adjustments to the payment of the Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estimated Closing Working Capital” means the aggregate book value of Sellers’ combined Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Prepaid Expenses (as defined in this Section 3.2(a)) and other current assets included in the Purchased Assets less Sellers’ Assumed Liabilities (as further defined in Section 2.3) (such Estimated Closing Working Capital may be a negative number). For purposes of clarification, Estimated Closing Working Capital will exclude (i) cash and cash equivalents retained by Sellers, (ii) debt which is paid by Sellers, (iii) intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable, (iv) sales taxes payable, and (v) money owed to or from employees and related parties of Sellers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepaid Expenses” means Sellers’ collective prepaid expenses, deposits, and other current assets and receivables as identified on Schedule 3.2(a).

At Closing, the Purchase Price and the Closing Purchase Price Payment pursuant to Section 3.1 will be either (1) reduced, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than Twenty Five Million Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($25,018,000) (the “Target Working Capital”), or (2) increased, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital.

(b) Closing Date Working Capital. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Sellers a balance sheet of Sellers as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) for the purpose of establishing the Actual Closing Working Capital. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Actual Closing Working Capital” means the aggregate book value of Sellers’ Accounts Receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, Inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets included in the Purchased Assets less the Assumed Liabilities (such Actual Closing Working Capital may be a negative number) determined from the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed list of variances from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. Within ten (10) business days after final determination delivery to Sellers of the Closing Balance Sheet:

(i) if the Actual Closing Working Capital exceeds both the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Target Working Capital, Buyer will pay to Sellers the amount by which the Actual Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital;

(ii) if the Actual Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital but is less than the Target Working Capital, Buyer will pay to Sellers the amount of the difference between the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Actual Closing Working Capital;

(iii) if the Actual Closing Working Capital is less than both the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Target Working Capital, Sellers will pay to Buyer the amount of the difference between the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Actual Closing Working Capital.

Section 3.3 Bases for Determination of Estimated and Actual Closing Working Capital. The calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Actual Closing Working Capital will be prepared in accordance and consistent with GAAP. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall use GAAP for purposes of valuing the Purchase Assets and for all other uses following Closing.

Section 3.4 GSP Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) At Closing, Buyer will assume customer payables related to GSP and vendor receivables related to GSP (collectively defined as “GSP Liability”). The GSP Liability is currently estimated to be approximately Three Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars ($3,620,974) and shall be a reduction from the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price. Details are shown on Section 3.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(i) At December 31, 2015, if the GSP Liability is greater than Three Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars ($3,620,974), Buyer will recalculate GSP Liability based upon vendor receivables collected through December 31, 2015, and customer payables paid through December 31, 2015 and provide a reconciliation of calculation to Seller.

(ii) If Sellers disagree with reconciliation, Seller will notify Buyers in writing of such disagreement within ten (10) calendar days in writing. If after ten (10) calendar days Seller has not notified Buyer of any disagreement, the GSP Liability shall be immediately payable to Buyer by Sellers and Shareholders within three (3) business days of Sellers’ receipt of written notice from Buyer to extent such GSP Liability exceeds Three Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars ($3,620,974) and shall not be subject to the terms of Section 9.4(a).

(iii) Any dispute among the parties regarding the GSP Liability or the reconciliation provided in this Section 3.4 will be submitted to a dispute resolution process substantially similar to the dispute resolution process provided pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Procedures for Resolving Closing Balance Sheet Disputes. If Sellers disagree with Buyer’s determination of any item on the Closing Balance Sheet, Sellers will notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement within sixty (60) calendar days after Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet to Sellers, with such notice setting forth the basis for such disagreement in reasonable detail (a “Notice of Disagreement”). During the sixty (60) calendar days’ period following delivery by Sellers to Buyer of a Notice of Disagreement, the Parties will seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which the Parties have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, but if they cannot agree within that sixty (60) day period, the Parties will submit such disagreement to a national firm of certified public accountants mutually agreeable to the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of all disagreement, but only such disagreement that remains in dispute and were identified in requisite detail in the Notice of Disagreement. The costs and fees of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the Party which does not substantially prevail in the resolution of the dispute. The resolution issued by Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.

The allocation shall be used for all purposes, including preparation and filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Buyer agrees to perform warranty claims for any product sold by Sellers prior to the Closing Date, or in finished goods inventory on the Closing Date, for a period of two (2) year following the Closing Date. Performance of warranty claims shall be according to Sellers’ customary warranty, which covers a refund of purchase price for defects in workmanship and material. The Buyer’s responsibility for the warranty claim payments does not apply to the indemnification threshold in Section 9.4(a).

Section 3.8 Physical Inventory. It is acknowledged that the Sellers have conducted a physical inventory as of the close of business on August 28, 2015 in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby, at which physical inventory Buyer or its agents were present and observed the work conducted by the Sellers in connection with such physical inventory.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Parties may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the Restricted Parties are not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(c) The Restricted Parties acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.6 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Restricted Parties of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d) The Restricted Parties acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 7.6 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 7.6 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.8, Section 5.18(k), Section 5.18(l), Section 5.19(j), Section 5.20(a), Section 5.22, Section 6.1, Section 6.2 and Section 6.4, the covenants set forth in Section 3.4, Section 7.5, and Section 7.6, or fraud and/or intentional omission or intentional misrepresentation with respect to any representation or warranty of Sellers, Shareholders or the Member.

(d) For purposes of this Article IX, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 9.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the "Indemnified Party", and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the "Indemnifying Party".

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Sellers, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 7.5) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Part, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was might inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as the case may be.

Section 9.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 7.6 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party's fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.
