2.3    Assumption of Certain Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, only to the extent such Liabilities arise and accrue after the Closing Date and are not the result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or a breach prior to the Closing Date of any Assumed Contract, to the extent not previously performed or discharged, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due only the Liabilities in respect of the Assumed Contracts (the “Assumed Liabilities”). No assumption by Buyer of any of the Assumed Liabilities shall relieve or be deemed to relieve Seller from any Liability under any Transaction Document with respect to any representations or warranties or covenants made by Seller to Buyer. The Special OHL Losses are not Assumed Liabilities.

2.4    Retained Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall have no liability for, any Liabilities of Seller, Seller Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of its or their predecessors in interest, of any kind, character or description whatsoever (“Retained Liabilities”), all of which shall be retained by and continue to be Liabilities of Seller, Seller Stockholders or their respective Affiliates, as applicable. Without intending to limit the generality or effect of the foregoing, Retained Liabilities shall include the following Liabilities:

(a)    all Liabilities relating to, based in whole or in part on events or conditions occurring or existing in connection with, or arising out of, Seller or the Business as operated prior to the Closing Date, or the manufacture, ownership, possession, use, operation or sale or other disposition prior to the Closing Date of any of the Acquired Assets (or any other assets, properties, rights or interests associated, at any time prior to the Closing Date, with the Business);

2.5    Nontransferable Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, to the extent that any of the Assumed Contracts, or any other Acquired Assets are not assignable or otherwise transferable to Buyer without the consent, approval or waiver of another party thereto or any third party (including any Governmental Authority), or if such assignment or transfer would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any applicable Legal Requirement or agreement with

any third party, then neither this Agreement nor such Transaction Document shall constitute an assignment or transfer (or an attempted assignment or transfer) thereof until such consent, approval or waiver of such party or parties has been duly obtained in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion. With respect to the assignment or transfer of any Assumed Contract to Buyer that requires the consent, approval or waiver of another party thereto or any third party, Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent, approval or waiver of such other party or parties or such third party to such assignment or transfer as promptly as practicable. Until such consents, approvals and waivers referred to in this Section are obtained by Seller, Seller shall (a) provide to Buyer the financial and business benefits of such Assumed Contract, and (b) enforce, for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising from any such Assumed Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Assumed Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of Buyer).

2.6    Inventory Count. Within five Business Days prior to or after the Closing, as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, Representatives of Buyer and Seller will conduct a physical count (the “Inventory Count”) of the Purchased Inventory to verify it is saleable and useable in the ordinary course of the Business, and to determine the estimated value of the Purchased Inventory (the “Purchased Inventory Value”). The Purchased Inventory Value shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP. If the Purchased Inventory Value is determined prior to Closing, it will be used in the calculation of the estimated Closing Date Working Capital for purposes of determining the Estimated Closing Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.7    Estimated Closing Purchase Price. No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price Statement”) that will set forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the calculation of the Closing Date Payment (the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price”), including calculations in reasonable detail of (i) Indebtedness of Seller represented by the Promissory Note (Loan No. 4110043500) dated June 21, 2016 issued by Seller in favor of First National Bank of Denver (“FNB”) in the original principal amount of $32,400.00, (ii) the amount required to pay off in full all outstanding Indebtedness of Seller represented by the Promissory Note dated October 14, 2016 (Loan No. 4110056400) issued by Seller in favor of FNB in the original principal amount of $133,200.00, (iii) all other Closing Date Indebtedness, (iv) Seller Expenses, (v) Escrow Deposit, (vi) Seller-to-Buyer Payable, (vii) Closing Date Working Capital, (viii) any Working Capital Deficiency, and (ix) any Working Capital Surplus. Buyer will review the Estimated Closing Purchase Price Statement and, if Buyer disagrees with any item set forth in such statement, it will provide written notice to Seller, along with a reasonably detailed explanation of the same, and the Parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any such disagreements prior to the Closing. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Purchase Price Statement, the values proposed by Buyer in the Estimated Closing Purchase Price Statement will be utilized for purposes of the payment of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price. In no event will the determination of the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Purchase Price Statement prejudice a Party’s rights under Section 2.9(c).

(a)    the aggregate amount of Closing Date Indebtedness payable to the holders of Closing Date Indebtedness designated in the direction letter delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(vi), on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates and as specified in each such holder’s applicable payoff letter (which payoff letters will be delivered to Buyer no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date and will specify the amount necessary to fully discharge all Closing Date Indebtedness owed to such Person and to release all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, under such Closing Date Indebtedness), to such account or accounts as directed in the applicable payoff letter or as otherwise directed by Seller in the direction letter delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(vi);

(b)    on behalf of Seller, Seller Expenses, in each case in accordance with the direction letter delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(vi);

(c)    the Escrow Deposit to the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent and released to the proper Party upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement; and

(d)    to Seller, the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions delivered to Buyer no less than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement”) consisting of a proposed calculation in reasonable detail of the Final Closing Purchase Price (the “Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price”), including Buyer’s good faith calculation of the amount of the Closing Date Payment and Closing Date Working Capital.

(b)    During the 30-day period following Seller’s receipt of the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement, Seller and its accountants will, at Seller’s expense, be permitted reasonable access to review the financial books and records of the Business, to the extent related to the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price, during regular business hours and such other good faith, reasonable cooperation from Buyer and its personnel, accounts and advisors as it may reasonably request to enable it to review and evaluate Buyer’s determination of the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement.

(c)    If Seller does not deliver a written notice of dispute setting forth in reasonable detail the items and amounts in dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within 30 days after receiving the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement, the Parties agree that the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement will become final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer within such 30-day period, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the items and amounts disputed by Seller in the Dispute Notice (the “Disputed Items”) during the 30-day period commencing on the date Buyer receives such Dispute Notice. If the Parties reach agreement with respect to all Disputed Items within such 30-day period, Buyer will revise the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement to reflect such agreement, which will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties. Any item or amount that is not specified as a Disputed Item in the Dispute Notice will be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties from and after such time as the Dispute Notice is delivered. If Seller and Buyer do not obtain a final resolution of all Disputed Items within such 30-day period, then upon the request of either Party, the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) will be submitted to an independent firm of certified public accounts selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller, which shall not have provided any accounting services to any Party for the prior five- year period (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm, acting as an impartial expert and not as an arbitrator, will render a determination regarding the Unresolved Items within 30 days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, or as soon as practicable thereafter, which determination must be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent manifest error, and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d)    The Accounting Firm will make a determination only with respect to the Unresolved Items, and in a manner consistent with this the provisions of this Agreement, and in no event will the Accounting Firm’s determination of Unresolved Items be for an amount outside the range of disagreement between Buyer and Seller. Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Accounting Firm may request.

(e)    Buyer will revise the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price Statement to reflect the determination of the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.9(d) (such final statement, whether determined pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or this Section 2.9(e), the “Final Closing Purchase Price

Statement”). The “Final Closing Purchase Price” will mean the Proposed Final Closing Purchase Price as finally revised pursuant to this Section 2.9 and set forth in the Final Closing Purchase Price Statement.

(f)    The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller and Seller Stockholders, on the other hand, will equally split the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.

(g)    No later than three Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9:

(i)    if the Final Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, Buyer will pay Seller the amount by which the Final Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Closing Purchase Price (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions delivered to Buyer by Seller; and

(ii)    if the Estimated Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Final Closing Purchase Price, Seller will pay Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Purchase Price minus the Final Closing Purchase Price (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions delivered to Seller by Buyer.

(h)    Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.9 will be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price, including for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by any Legal Requirement.

2.10    Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Buyer on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), or on such date as the Parties mutually agree in writing.

year end), plus

(ii)    For each such Earnout Period, $120,000, if the Business’s utilization or purchases of Buyer’s materials set forth on Schedule 2.12(a)(ii) (“Buyer Materials”) in such Earnout Period, determined according to the price that Buyer would typically charge a third party for such Buyer Materials (the “Buyer Materials Usage”), exceeds the Minimum Amount for such Earnout Period set forth in the table below, plus

(Buyer Materials Usage - Minimum Amount) * $113,333/$500,000; provided that the Buyer Materials Usage for such Earnout Period exceeds the

Minimum Amount for such Earnout Period.

Seller and Seller Stockholders hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Buyer as follows (as qualified by the applicable Schedules included in the Disclosure Schedule) and, unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to “Seller” in this ARTICLE III will also refer to each of Seller’s Subsidiaries:

3.1    Organization. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Legal Requirements of the State of Colorado and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease the Acquired Assets and to operate and carry on the Business as presently conducted. Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the Business or the ownership of the Acquired Assets makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Seller or the Business.

3.2    Equity Ownership. Seller Stockholders collectively own all of the outstanding capital stock of Seller, as respectively set forth on Schedule 3.2. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, contracts, demands, commitments, convertible securities or other agreements or arrangements of any character or nature under which any Seller is obligated to issue any securities of any kind representing Equity Interests in Seller.

3.3    Authority, Validity and Enforceability. Each Seller Stockholder and Seller has all requisite power and authority or capacity, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform his or its respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

No further action on the part of Seller or any Seller Stockholder is or will be required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

3.5    No Conflict. Subject to and assuming satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.6, neither the execution of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents by Seller or any Seller Stockholder, nor the performance by Seller or any Seller Stockholder of their respective obligations under any Transaction Document will (a) violate or conflict with any Legal Requirement applicable to such Party or by which such Party’s properties or assets are bound, (b) contravene any provision contained in the Organizational Documents of Seller, (c) conflict with, violate or result in a breach (with or without the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both) of, or constitute a default (with or without the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both) or result in the creation of any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, under (i) any Material Contract, (ii) any Contract (excluding Material Contracts) or (iii) any Legal Requirement or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which any Seller Stockholder or Seller is bound or to which the Equity Interests of Seller or any of its assets or properties are subject, or (d) result in the acceleration of, or permit any Person to terminate, modify, cancel, accelerate or declare due and payable prior to its stated maturity, any material obligation of Seller.

No notice to, filing with, or authorization, registration, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority is necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by Buyer, except for those the failure of which to make or obtain would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

4.5    Brokers. No Person is or will be entitled to a broker’s, finder’s, investment banker’s, financial adviser’s or similar fee from Buyer in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.1    Access and Information.

(a)    From the Effective Date until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer will be entitled to access the properties, business and operations of Seller and the Business (including access to the personnel, counsel, accountants, consultants and representatives thereof) and such examination of the books and records of Seller and the Business as Buyer may reasonably request, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, and, with Seller’s prior permission, Buyer may personally contact Employees, Customers, Suppliers and Representatives selected by Buyer. Seller will cooperate with any such requests for access

to the foregoing to the extent such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operations, activities and employees of Seller.

(b)    All information disclosed, whether before or after the Effective Date, pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in connection with the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, or the discussions and negotiations preceding, this Agreement to Buyer (or its Representatives) will be kept confidential by such Persons in accordance with and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and will not be used by any Person, other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will survive from the Effective Date, and only if the Closing occurs, the confidentiality obligations with respect to any Acquired Assets that constitute “confidential information” thereunder will terminate at the Closing.

5.2    Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. From the Effective Date until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as (w) otherwise expressly provided herein, (x) expressly consented to in writing by Buyer, (y) set forth on Schedule 5.2 or (z) expressly required by applicable Legal Requirement, Seller and Seller Stockholders will:

(e)    not adopt a plan or complete or partial liquidation or authorize or undertake a dissolution, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or other reorganization;

(g)    not pledge, dispose of, transfer, lease, license, guarantee, encumber or authorize the sale, pledge, disposition, transfer, lease, license, guarantee or encumber any Equity Interests in Seller, or issue any subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, contracts, demands, commitments, or convertible securities under which any Seller is obligated to issue any Equity Interests of Seller.

(h)    not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially increase Taxes with respect to the Business or the Acquired Assets for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date;

(i)    not waive, release, compromise or settle any pending or threatened Action except for Actions with respect to which an insurer has the sole right to control the decision to settle; or

(j)    agree, commit or offer to or fail to perform any action that results in or legally binds Seller to do any of the foregoing referred to in clauses (a)-(i) of this Section 5.2.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Legal Requirements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, and to promptly give all notices to and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities and other Persons that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consents, waivers, approvals and notices referred to in Schedule 3.6. All such consents, waivers, approvals and notices shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Executed counterparts of such consents, waivers and approvals shall be delivered to Buyer promptly after receipt thereof, and copies of such notices shall be delivered to Buyer promptly after the making thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals from third parties that are not Governmental Authorities, no Party will be required to make payments to any Person, provided, that Seller will remain required to make payments required by the terms of any Contract between Seller and such Person.

(b)    Each Party will give prompt written notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure would cause any representation or warranty of Seller or Buyer as the case may be, contained in the Transaction Documents to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the Effective Date to the Closing or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in ARTICLE VI, or otherwise prohibit, condition or delay the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any notice provided under this Section 5.3(b) be deemed to cure any breach of any such representation or warranty for any purpose under this Agreement.

5.4    Public Announcements. The timing and content of all public announcements regarding any aspect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be agreed upon in advance by the Parties; provided that any Party may make any such announcement or disclosure which it in good faith believes, based on advice of counsel, is required by Legal Requirement or securities listing standard (in which case each Party will consult with the other Parties prior to any such announcement or disclosure to the extent reasonably practicable as to the form and content of such disclosure or announcement and will only disclose that information that is required by Legal Requirement based upon advice of counsel).

(a)    Buyer shall offer employment from and after the Closing Date to Heap, Elliott, Dan Lahr, and Tonya Switalski, and may offer such employment to any other Employee that the Buyer may determine in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as Buyer may determine in its sole discretion, but Buyer will not be obligated to do so pursuant to this Agreement or for any other reason.

(b)    Seller will terminate the employment of all Transferred Employees, effective immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall not and does not assume any of Seller’s employment obligations, wage or salary payment obligations, including without limitation those arising under any pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, severance, welfare, sick leave, accrued, earned or other vacation, wage or other employee benefit plan, procedure, policy or practice of Seller (“Employment Obligations”) regardless of whether such plan, procedure, policy or practice is disclosed in this Agreement. Seller shall pay or otherwise satisfy, at or prior to the Closing Date, all accrued and unpaid

(or unsatisfied) Employment Obligations as of such time, regardless of whether the Employment Obligations are disclosed by Seller or the Seller Stockholders or otherwise mentioned in this Agreement. Buyer shall credit the years of service provided by any Transferred Employees to the Business prior to the Closing for purposes of Buyer’s vacation policy.

(c)    Seller shall cause each Employee who participates in the Seller’s 401(k) Plan (the “401K Plan”) to be fully vested in his or her account balance under such plan, effective as of the Closing Date. Seller shall terminate the 401K Plan on the Closing Date and in connection therewith, comply with any and all Legal Requirements.

(d)    With respect to any bonus or commission plans or programs of Seller or its Affiliates, Seller will pay, or cause to be paid as part of the Employment Obligations, any such bonus or commission amounts that would have been earned, based on the achievement of the applicable performance measures or objectives, through the Closing Date to the applicable Employees on the Closing Date.

(e)    With respect to any sale, transaction, change of control bonuses, severance payments, retention payments or similar payments pursuant to agreements, arrangements or promises entered into or made by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing and owed to any Employee that are payable by reason of, or in connection with, the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller will pay such amounts to the applicable Employee on the Closing Date as Employment Obligations.

(f)    With respect to periods after the Closing and as permitted under Q&A-7 of Treasury Regulation Section 4980B-9, Buyer agrees to assume and perform all of Seller’s “COBRA” obligations under Code Section 4980B and ERISA Section 602 to make group health plan continuation coverage available to each of Seller’s M&A qualified beneficiaries (as that term is defined in Q&A-4 of Treasury Regulation Section 4980B-9). Attached hereto as Schedule 5.5(f) is a list, which Seller and Seller Stockholders represent to be true and complete, of such M&A qualified beneficiaries (including their home addresses last known to the Seller and Seller Stockholders) and a brief description of the type of group health plan coverage to which each of them would be entitled if such obligation were retained by Seller and the M&A qualified beneficiary timely elected and paid for such coverage.

(g)    Following the Effective Date, Seller will reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.5, including, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, exchanging information and data relating to payroll, workers compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages, and in obtaining any governmental approvals required hereunder.

(h)    This Agreement is not intended by the Parties to, and nothing in this Section 5.5 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, will (i) constitute an amendment to any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan of Buyer or its Affiliates or (ii) confer on any current or former employee of Seller or any other Person (other than the parties to this Agreement) any rights or remedies (including third-party beneficiary rights).

5.6    Exclusivity. Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Buyer) with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal. From and after the Effective Date until the earlier of Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, Seller Stockholders shall not, and Seller shall not and

shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall direct their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, facilitate, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information), directly or indirectly, inquiries or proposals that constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) initiate, engage or participate in any way with any third party in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or disclose any non-public information to any third party in connection with, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (except to notify such third party of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.6), or (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding that would require any Seller Stockholder or Seller to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Representative, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or otherwise, will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.6 by Seller, and Seller will cause its Representatives to comply with the terms of this Section 5.6. From and after the Effective Date until the earlier of Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Seller Stockholders and Seller shall promptly (and in any event within one calendar day following and three Business Days prior to providing any such Person with any information) notify Buyer in the event that Seller or Seller Stockholder receives, directly or indirectly: (i) any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) any request for non-public information relating to Seller or its Subsidiaries by any Person that informs Seller, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives that such Person is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) any request for discussions or negotiations relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be made orally and confirmed in writing, and shall indicate the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the other party or parties involved.

(a)    Property Taxes (as defined below) with respect to the Acquired Assets attributable to the taxable year of the Closing will be prorated as of the Closing with Seller being liable for such Taxes attributable to the days in the taxable year through the Closing Date and Buyer being liable for such Taxes attributable to days in the taxable year after the Closing Date. Proration of Property Taxes shall be made on the basis of the most recent officially certified Tax valuation and assessment for the Acquired Assets. If such valuation pertains to a Taxable year or period other than that in which the Closing occurs, such proration shall be recalculated at such time as actual Tax bills for such period are available and the parties shall cooperate with each other in all respects in connection with such recalculation and pay any sums due in consequence thereof to the party entitled to recover the same within sixty days after the issuance of such actual Tax bills. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all Property Taxes payable under any real property lease as of the Closing shall be prorated in accordance with the terms of such lease as so prorated between landlord and Seller, tenant. For purposes of this Section 5.7(a), “Property Taxes” means ad valorem Taxes, property Taxes, general assessments and special assessments with respect to the Acquired Assets.

(b)    The Buyer will assume and pay all Transfer Taxes incurred, imposed, assessed, or payable against any Party in connection with or as a result of this Agreement. Each Party shall cooperate as reasonably requested to minimize such Transfer Taxes, including with respect to any available exemption from such Transfer Taxes. Each Tax Return with respect to a Transfer Tax shall be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax Return pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements.

(c)    Each Party will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 5.7 and any Actions with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns and Actions and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer be required to provide a copy of any Tax Returns of Buyer or its Affiliates to any other Person. Seller agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Assets or the Business relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until three months following the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, Seller will allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records.

(d)    As promptly as practicable after the 30th Business Day following the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.9, Buyer will deliver to Seller and Seller Stockholders an allocation of the Purchase Price (and other applicable amounts for Tax purposes) among the Acquired Assets, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar U.S. state or local Legal Requirement) (the “Allocation”). The Parties will confer in good faith with a view to agreeing upon an Allocation before finalizing it, but in the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved by negotiation, Buyer’s reasonable judgment will control. Each Party will prepare and file, and cause his or its Affiliates to prepare and file, all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation (including IRS Form 8594 and any equivalent U.S. state or local forms) and will take no position, and cause his or its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any Tax Return or in any audit or other Action with respect to Taxes or otherwise. If the Allocation is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the Party receiving notice of the dispute will promptly notify the other Parties of such dispute, and each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit or other Action and not to settle or otherwise dispose of such audit or other Action without the prior written consent of the other Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party will reimburse the other Parties for any Taxes paid by such Party (or any of its Affiliates) that are the responsibility of the other Parties pursuant to this Agreement within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes.

5.8    Transfer of Certain Funds Received Post-Closing. With respect to any and all amounts received or collected by Seller from and after the Closing (a) attributable to, or in respect of, any Acquired Asset, including the Accounts Receivable, or the Business (other than the Excluded Assets) and

(b) which become the property of Buyer as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall provide notice of such receipt or collection to Buyer and pay promptly

(and in any event within five Business Days of their receipt or collection) to Buyer any and all such amounts so received or collected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified

by Buyer or by other means acceptable to Buyer.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Buyer or Seller, each of the Parties will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances,

deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with any effort by Buyer to establish, perfect, defend, or enforce its rights in or to the Acquired Assets, including executing further consistent assignments, transfers and releases, and causing its Representatives to provide good faith testimony by affidavit, declaration, deposition or other means. Seller will refer all customer inquiries relating to the Business to Buyer from and after the Closing. Seller and Seller Stockholders will, and will cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate and assist Buyer with an orderly transition of the Business and Acquired Assets to Buyer.

(b)    Following the Closing, if an Acquired Asset has not been properly transferred to Buyer or its designee, Seller shall cause all right, title and interest in and to such Acquired Asset to be transferred to Buyer or its designee, and such transfer shall be effected free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and without the requirement for Buyer or its Affiliates to pay any additional consideration or otherwise incur any Liabilities (other than those that would be incurred by any owner of such Acquired Asset as a result of such ownership).

(a)    Discontinued Products Policy. Seller shall obtain and maintain for a period of five years after the Closing, a discontinued products liability insurance policy insuring against Liabilities with respect to Business Products and services sold by Seller prior to the Closing, upon the terms, conditions and coverage amounts set forth on Schedule 5.10(a) (the “Discontinued Products Policy”).

(b)    Pre-Closing Insurance. With respect to events or circumstances relating to the Acquired Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Employees that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by Seller’s occurrence-based liability insurance policies, the Discontinued Products Policy, or any workers’ compensation insurance policies and/or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance, state or country programs that are in effect prior to or on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Insurance”), Buyer may make claims under such policies after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, and Seller will take such actions as may be requested by Buyer in connection with the tendering of such claims to the applicable insurers under such Pre-Closing Insurance and to provide Buyer with the net proceeds it realizes with respect to such claims. With respect to any open claims against Seller’s insurance policies relating to the Acquired Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Transferred Employees prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Buyer’s expense, to pursue such claims and obtain such expected proceeds for the benefit of Buyer.

5.11    Access to Records Post-Closing. For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Parties will afford one another and their respective Representatives reasonable access to all of the books and records related to the Business to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by another Party in connection with Tax or litigation matters (excluding litigation between Buyer or any Affiliate on the one hand, and Seller and Seller Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand) relating to the Business prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, and the requesting Party shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 5.11, except for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Party of whom the request was made. If a Party desires to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such six-year period, that Party will, prior to such disposition, give the other Parties a reasonable opportunity, at such other Party’ expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such other Party may select.

5.12    Warranty Claims. Commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to perform, on behalf of Seller, warranty service and repair claims arising in the ordinary course of the Business from sales of products and services made by Seller before the Closing Date, so long as they are not material in amount or significance (i.e., not in excess of

$2,500 per warranty service and repair); provided that the labor and overhead costs, materials and out-of- pocket costs to perform such services shall not exceed $20,000 in the aggregate for any Earnout Period (the “Warranty Services”). Buyer does not assume any Liabilities relating to the products and services that gave rise to the need for the Warranty Services, all of which are Retained Liabilities.

6.1    Mutual Conditions. The respective obligations of each Party to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, is subject to, at or prior to the Closing, there being no: (i) Legal Requirement of any nature issued by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits, or has the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting, the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document from being consummated as herein provided, or (ii) pending Action seeking to prohibit, prevent, make illegal, delay or otherwise interfere with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2    Conditions to the Obligations of Buyer. The obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be subject to the fulfillment prior to or at Closing of each of the following conditions, any and all of which may be waived, in whole or in part, by Buyer to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement:

(d)    Material Adverse Effect. Since the Effective Date, no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred.

(e)    Receipt of Permits. Buyer shall have received all Permits necessary to operate the Business after the Closing Date as presently conducted.

(f)    Transaction Documents. Seller shall have delivered to Buyer duly executed counterparts to the Transaction Documents and all other documents and deliveries as are set forth in Section 2.11(a).

(g)    Retention Agreements. Each of the Employees required by Buyer shall have agreed to become Transferred Employees and entered into retention agreements with Buyer or one of its Affiliates, in each case on terms and conditions satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion.

(h)    Accrued PTO Obligations. All accrued vacation, sick leave and other paid time off benefits of the Business shall have been paid and discharged by the Seller.

6.3    Conditions to the Obligations of Seller and Seller Stockholders. The obligations of Seller and Seller Stockholders to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be subject to the fulfillment at or prior to the Closing of each of the following conditions, any and all of which may be waived in whole or in part by Seller and Seller Stockholders to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement:

(a)    Representations and Warranties. (i) The Fundamental Representations of Buyer shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date and (ii) all other representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV shall be true and correct in all material respects (without regard to any qualifications therein as to “materiality”) as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date (or as of the specific date referred to for any representation or warranty which specifically refers to an earlier date).

(b)    Covenants. Buyer shall have performed, in all material respects, all of the covenants and obligations which are to be performed by it under the terms of this Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

(c)    Transaction Documents. Buyer shall have delivered to Seller duly executed counterparts to the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement) and all other documents and deliveries as are set forth in Section 2.11(b).

7.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to Closing:

(a)    by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b)    by either Buyer or Seller, if the Closing will not have been consummated on or before the date that is 90 days after the Effective Date (as may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Termination Date”), unless extended by written agreement of the Parties; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this paragraph will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill or comply with any obligation or covenant under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(c)    by Buyer (so long as Buyer is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement), if a breach of this Agreement by Seller or any Seller Stockholder results or would result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not being satisfied and such breach cannot be cured or, if curable, remains uncured for a

period of 30 days after Seller or the Seller Stockholder, as applicable, has received written notice from Buyer of the occurrence of such breach (or, if earlier, the Termination Date), and such conditions have not been waived by Buyer;

(d)    by Seller or Seller Stockholders (so long as Seller or Seller Stockholders are not then in material breach of any of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement), if a breach of this Agreement by Buyer results or would result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not being satisfied and such breach cannot be cured or, if curable, remains uncured for a period of 30 days after Buyer has received written notice from Seller of the occurrence of such breach (or, if earlier, the Termination Date), and such conditions have not been waived by Seller and Seller Stockholders;

(e)    by any Party, if any Governmental Authority will have issued an Order or Legal Requirement enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or Legal Requirement will have become final and nonappealable, except that the right to terminate this Agreement and abandon the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under this paragraph will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill or comply with any obligation or covenant under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the issuance of such nonappealable Order or Legal Requirement;

(a) all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder will terminate and no Party will have any Liability to the other, except for obligations of the Parties in Section 5.4, this Section 7.2, and ARTICLE IX, which

will survive the termination of this Agreement and (b) termination will not relieve any Party from

Liability for any intentional or willful breaches of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination. An “intentional or willful breach” means a breach or failure to perform, in each case, that is the consequence of an act or omission by a Party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

8.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(v) or Section 2.11(b)(iii) will survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date on which the Earnout Payments payable with respect to the Year Three Earnout Period are due and payable (the “Survival Date”), except that the Fundamental Representations will survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants will survive the Closing until the Survival Date; provided, however, that any covenant contained in this Agreement that, by its terms, provides for performance following the Closing will survive and continue in full force and effect until such covenant is performed or observed in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation, warranty or covenant in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement prior to the Survival Date will survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences if written notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity has been given to the party against whom indemnification may be sought prior to such time.

(a)    Indemnification by Seller and Seller Stockholders. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, Seller and Seller Stockholders will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, Representatives, equity holders, successors and assigns (all such foregoing Persons, collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to, arising out of, in connection with or resulting from:

(i)    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller or Seller Stockholders contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered by Seller or Seller Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii)    any breach of any covenant to be performed by Seller or Seller Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered by Seller or Seller Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement;

(v)    the assignment by Seller to Buyer of the OHL Contract, and Buyer’s obligations to indemnify OHL USA, Inc. pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated effective July 28, 2017 among Buyer, Seller and OHL USA, Inc. (collectively, the “Special OHL Losses”)

For clarity, Buyer Indemnitees will not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for Losses they may suffer, sustain or become subject to, arising out of, in connection with or resulting from Assumed Liabilities.

(b)    Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, from and after the Closing, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller Stockholders, and their successors and assigns (all such foregoing persons, collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses Seller Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to, arising out of, in connection with or resulting from:

(i)    any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii)    any breach of any covenant to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(iii)    to the extent not otherwise subject to indemnity pursuant to this Section 8.2, any Assumed Liability.

(a)    With respect to Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, will not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller Indemnitees or the Buyer Indemnitees, as applicable, would be liable thereunder exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, will be entitled to indemnification for the aggregate amount of all Losses, including the Threshold Amount. Seller and Seller Stockholders will not be required to provide indemnification for aggregate Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) in excess of

$3,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on liability provided in this Section 8.3(a) will not apply to indemnification claims with respect to any Fundamental Representation; provided,

however, that neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor the Seller and Seller Stockholders, collectively, on the

other hand, will be required to provide indemnification for aggregate Losses in excess of the Purchase Price in the absence of fraud or knowing misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

Agreement, no Seller Stockholder shall be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for Losses

exceeding the amount actually received by such Seller Stockholder in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that such limitation shall not apply to any Seller Stockholder’s fraud, knowing misrepresentation, breach of any covenants herein or breach of the Noncompetition Agreement to which such Seller Stockholder is a party.

(b)    For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, any express qualifications or limitations set forth in such representation, warranty or covenant as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other words of similar qualification will be disregarded.

(a)    Notice of Claim. A Person that seeks indemnity under this ARTICLE VIII (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party receives written notice, in the case of a Third Party Claim, or otherwise becomes aware, in the case of a direct claim, of any such claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought; provided, however, that no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Any Claim Notice will contain (i) a description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party (which estimate is non- binding), and (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party.

(b)    Direct Claims. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice relating to a claim for indemnification other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or (ii) dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and setting forth any items in the Claim Notice with which the Indemnifying Party agrees. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified

Party within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any item or amount set forth in a Claim Notice that is not disputed in the Objection Notice will be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties from and after such time as the Objection Notice is delivered.

(i)    Subject to paragraphs (iii) and (iv) below, Buyer, in its capacity as either Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, will have the right to defend any claim described in a Claim Notice that relates to a claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with counsel of Buyer’s choice, reasonably satisfactory to Seller in cases where Buyer is the Indemnifying Party, so long as, if Buyer is the Indemnifying Party, (A) Buyer notifies Seller, within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, that Buyer is assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim and (B) Buyer conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in an active, diligent and reasonable manner. If Buyer fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within 30 days after notice thereof is given to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party, Seller will have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim (which will be undertaken at the expense and for the account of Buyer only if Buyer is the Indemnifying Party in such matter).

(ii)    So long as the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(c)(i) are and remain satisfied (A) Buyer may conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(c)(i), (ii) Seller may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and (B) where Buyer is the Indemnifying Party, Buyer will not, without the prior written consent of Seller, consent to any admission or the entry of any Order with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which (1) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, or (2) does not include an unconditional provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all Liability with respect thereto.

(iii)    Notwithstanding paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, Buyer will not be entitled to control (but will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and Seller will be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Claim as to which Buyer fails to assume the defense within 30 days after the Indemnified Party gives notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party.

(iv)    Notwithstanding paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, Seller shall have the right to submit any Third-Party Claim that is solely for monetary damages to its insurer if it reasonably believes that such insurer’s insurance policy will insure and cover in full the Losses subject to such claim. If the insurer agrees to take over such Third-Party Claim in full without any reservation of rights, the Parties agree to permit such insurer to manage the defense of such

Third-Party Claim; provided that Buyer may, at its own expense, participate in such defense to the extent permitted by such insurer.

8.5    Payment of Claim. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, in order to satisfy any indemnification obligations of Seller and Seller Stockholders with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, a Buyer Indemnitee will have the right to recover indemnifiable Losses that have been incurred (i) first, from the Escrow Deposit pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, from any Earnout Payments then due and payable, and

(iii)    third, from Seller and Seller Stockholders within three Business Days after demand is made by a Buyer Indemnitee.

8.6    Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party with respect to any and all Losses arising in connection with this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. The parties will be entitled to injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.12. To the extent an Indemnified Party is entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to ARTICLE VIII of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will be permitted to recover such Losses only once without duplication.

8.7    Investigation. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and Seller Stockholders in this Agreement, or any document, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by Seller or Seller Stockholders under this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted by any Indemnified Party or any other Person at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Indemnified Party or any other Person at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.8    Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any amount paid for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, including for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by any Legal Requirement.

9.1    Notices. Any notice, request, instruction, or other document to be given hereunder by any Party to another Party will be in writing and will be delivered personally, by overnight delivery service, by facsimile, by email or sent by certified, registered or express air mail. Notices will be deemed given (i) when delivered, if delivered by hand, (ii) one Business Day after deposited with an overnight delivery service, if delivered by overnight delivery, (iii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if faxed during normal business hours (otherwise upon the opening of business on the next Business Day), (iv) upon transmission, if sent by email so long as written notice of such transmission is sent within three Business Days thereafter by another delivery method hereunder confirming such transmission, and (v) five Business Days after mailing if mailed, as follows:

This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Legal Requirements of the State of South Dakota, without reference to the choice of Legal Requirement or conflict of Legal Requirements principles thereof. The Parties hereby agree and consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and hereby waive the right to assert the lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper venue in connection with any such Action. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties (a) waives the defense of inconvenient forum, (b) agrees not to commence any Action arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby other than in any such court, and

(c) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action (including any appeals therefrom) will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit or judgment or in any other manner provided by Legal

Requirement.

(a)    This Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, be assigned, and any attempted assignment will be null and void; provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate of Buyer upon written notice of same to Seller, which assignment will not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives.

(b)    This Agreement will be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives and is not intended, nor will it be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder, except that the Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees will be intended third party beneficiaries of ARTICLE VIII.

9.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts for the convenience of the Parties, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

written, oral or implied understandings among them with respect to such matters, including without limitation the Letter of Intent dated March 3, 2017 by and between Buyer and Seller.

9.10    Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof will not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement and, to the extent necessary, the Parties will amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the original intent of the Parties.

9.14    Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right.
