California as an independent designer and producer of modular, robust, reliable digital and analog electronic controller products for the fluid power industry sold under the brand of HCT.&nbsp;Subsequent to the Enovation Controls acquisition, the

legally available therefor, and to share ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the shareholders in the event of liquidation or dissolution. The Common Stock has no preemptive rights or redemption privileges.
Under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the &#147;FBCA&#148;), directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast by holders of our Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the
&#147;Bylaws&#148;), if a quorum exists any other action is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless our Articles or the FBCA require a greater number of affirmative votes. </P>

breaches resulting from negligent behavior), except in certain circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a Director&#146;s duty of loyalty or acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
Further, the Articles contain provisions to indemnify the Company&#146;s Directors and Officers to the full extent permitted by the FBCA. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any shareholder to seek <FONT

Company is subject to several anti-takeover provisions under the FBCA that apply to a public corporation organized under the FBCA, unless the corporation has elected to opt out of those provisions in its articles of incorporation or bylaws. The
Company has not elected to opt out of those provisions. The FBCA prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly-held Florida corporation that are acquired in a &#147;control share acquisition&#148; unless (i)&nbsp;the Board of Directors approved such
acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii)&nbsp;after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval of the Board of Directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation&#146;s voting shares (exclusive of shares held by officers of the
corporation, inside directors, or the acquiring party) approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A &#147;control share acquisition&#148; is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter
entitles the acquiring party to vote in the election of directors within each of the following ranges of voting power: <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(i)&nbsp;one-fifth</FONT> or more but less than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT>
of such voting power, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(ii)&nbsp;one-third</FONT> or more but less than a majority of such voting power, and (iii)&nbsp;more than a majority of such voting power. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The FBCA also contains an &#147;affiliated transaction&#148; provision that prohibits a publicly-held Florida corporation from engaging in a
broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an &#147;interested shareholder&#148; unless (i)&nbsp;the transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the person becomes an
interested shareholder, (ii)&nbsp;the corporation has not had more than 300 shareholders of record during the three years preceding the transaction, (iii)&nbsp;the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation&#146;s outstanding
voting shares for at least five years, (iv)&nbsp;the interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the voting shares (excluding shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors), (v) consideration is paid to the holders of the corporation&#146;s shares equal to the highest amount per share paid by the interested shareholder for the acquisition of the corporation&#146;s shares in the last two years
or fair market value, and other specified conditions are met, or (vi)&nbsp;the transaction is approved by the holders of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the corporation&#146;s voting shares other than those owned by the
interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially owns more than 10% of the corporation&#146;s outstanding voting shares. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain provisions of the Articles and the Bylaws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood
of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company and in the policies formulated by the Board of Directors and to discourage certain types of transactions, described below, which may involve an actual or
threatened change of control of the Company. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of the Company to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover of the Company that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of its outstanding shares
or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of the Company. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. </P>

Articles provide for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes of Directors serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the Board of Directors will be elected each
year. The classified Board of Directors provision could have the effect of discouraging a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to the Company
and its shareholders. In addition, the classified board provision could delay shareholders who do not agree with the policies of the Board of Directors from removing a majority of the Board for two years, unless they can show cause and obtain the
requisite vote. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Special Meetings of Shareholders </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles provide that special meetings of shareholders of the Company may be called only by the Chairman, the President, a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors or by the holders of 50% of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on an issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting. The Articles also prohibit the taking of shareholder action by written consent without
a meeting if there are more than 30 shareholders of record. This provision will make it more difficult for shareholders to take action opposed by the Board of Directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amendment of Certain Provisions of the Articles </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles generally require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding voting stock in order to amend its
provisions, including any provisions concerning (i)&nbsp;the classified board, (ii)&nbsp;the amendment of the Bylaws, (iii)&nbsp;the authority of shareholders to act by written consent, (iv)&nbsp;indemnification, (v) the liability of Directors,
(vi)&nbsp;the calling of special meetings of the shareholders, and (vii)&nbsp;the supermajority voting requirements described in this paragraph. These voting requirements will make it more difficult for shareholders to make changes in the Articles
which would be designed to facilitate the exercise of control over the Company. In addition, the requirement for approval by at least an 80% shareholder vote will enable the holders of a minority of the voting securities of the Company to prevent
the holders of a majority or more of such securities from amending such provisions of the Articles. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Number of Directors; Removal </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles provide that the Board of Directors will consist of that number of Directors as shall be fixed from time to time by resolution
adopted by a majority of the Directors then in office. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Articles provide that Directors of the Company may be removed only for cause and only by the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock. This provision will preclude a shareholder from removing incumbent Directors without cause and simultaneously gaining control of the Board of Directors by filling
the vacancies created by such removal with its own nominees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Amended and Restated Bylaws </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for the nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof, of candidates for election as Director as well as for other shareholder proposals to be considered at shareholders&#146; meetings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notice of shareholder proposals and Director nominations must be timely given in writing to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a corporation incorporated in the State of Florida, we are subject to the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the FBCA.
Section&nbsp;607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy unless
(1)&nbsp;the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2)&nbsp;the director&#146;s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes (a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (b)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly,
(c)&nbsp;a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0834 are applicable, (d)&nbsp;in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious
disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful misconduct, or (e)&nbsp;in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or
with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that
director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;607.0850(1) of the FBCA, a
corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding,
including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;607.0850(2) of the FBCA, a corporation has the power to indemnify any
person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board
of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue,
or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, under Section&nbsp;607.0850(3) of the FBCA, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 607.0850(1) or 607.0850(2) described above, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA, the indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided pursuant to Section&nbsp;607.0850 of the FBCA are not exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses
shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute:
(a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper
personal benefit; (c)&nbsp;in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the above liability provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0834 are applicable; or (d)&nbsp;willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the
corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that we shall
indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the current law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;607.0850 also provides that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any
such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section&nbsp;607.0850. We have secured insurance covering our directors and
officers and those of our principal subsidiaries and affiliate companies against certain liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have entered into
indemnification agreements with each member of our board of directors and our executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that we indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to each indemnified
director and executive officer all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Under the indemnification agreements, we must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by
an indemnified director or executive officer seeking to enforce his or her rights under the indemnification agreements. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by law, they provide greater
assurance to directors and executive officers that indemnification will be available, because, as contracts, they cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the board of directors or the shareholders to eliminate the rights they provide. </P>
