SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 31, 2021, by and among TRANSCAT, INC., an Ohio corporation (“Buyer”), and JOHN CUMMINS and ROSS LANE (each, individually, a “Seller” and, collectively, “Sellers”). Buyer and each Seller is referred to herein as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A.             Sellers own, in the aggregate, 1,053 ordinary shares (the “Company Shares”) of Cal OpEx Limited, an Irish private company limited by shares with registered number 563075 (the “Company”), which Company Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

B.             The Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cal OpEx Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subsidiary”).

C.             Sellers desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Sellers, the Company Shares in exchange for the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I.
THE TRANSACTION

1.1 Purchase Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing, Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell to Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, the Company Shares in exchange for the Purchase Price. The Company Shares owned by Sellers and transferred to Buyer hereunder shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on the Closing Date.

1.2 Purchase Price; Payment.

(a) Purchase Price. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the adjustments set forth in Section 1.3), the total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Company Shares shall be an amount equal to (i) $22,500,000 (the “Closing Consideration”) plus (ii) the Earn-Out Payments, if any, payable pursuant to Section 1.6, and (iii) plus the Closing Cash, as calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3. The Purchase Price (including the Closing Consideration, the Earn-Out Payments, any portion of the Escrow Amount released to Sellers pursuant to Section 1.5 and the Escrow Agreement) shall be allocated between Sellers pro rata based on their respective ownership of the Company Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 1.3, Section 1.4 and Section 1.5, the Closing Consideration shall be payable to Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2(b).

(b) Payments at Closing. In payment of the Closing Consideration, at Closing, Buyer shall:

(i) deliver to Sellers, pro rata based on their respective ownership of the Company Shares, the aggregate number of Buyer Shares having a value equal to $2,250,000 (the “Stock Consideration”), which number of Buyer Shares shall be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Stock Consideration by (B) $64.39 (which is the applicable Volume Weighted Average Closing Price);

(ii) pay to Sellers, pro rata based on their respective ownership of the Company Shares, an amount equal to the Estimated Adjusted Closing Consideration, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts that have been designated in writing by Sellers;

(iii) pay to HSBC Bank USA, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent, the sum of $125,000 (the “Escrow Amount”), as further described in Section 1.5;

(iv) pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of Sellers, the Company or Subsidiary, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, in accordance with Section 1.4; and

(c) Withholdings; Irish Stamp Duty. Sellers acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have the right to deduct and withhold such amounts from any payments to be made hereunder as are required under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the applicable Person or any other recipient of payment in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall pay the Irish Stamp Tax, as provided in Section 6.3, and no deductions shall be made for the Irish Stamp Tax from payments due to the Sellers.

1.3 Closing Statement; Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Statement. On the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, setting forth Sellers’ good faith estimate as of the Effective Time of, and the components and calculation of, (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iii) estimated Cash on Hand (“Estimated Closing Cash”) and (iv) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”). The Estimated Closing Statement, and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness, the Estimated Closing Cash and Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses shall be adjusted as necessary on the Closing Date to reflect any adjustments reasonably requested by Buyer and Sellers in their reasonable discretion.

(b) Delivery of Closing Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of (i) the Closing Working Capital, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Date Cash and (iv) the Closing Transaction Expenses.

(c) Cooperation. Buyer and each Seller shall, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its respective Affiliates, agents and representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses and in the conduct of the reviews and dispute resolution process referred to in this Section 1.3.

(d) Review Period. During the 30-day period following Sellers’ receipt of the Final Closing Statement, Sellers shall be permitted to review the working papers of Buyer relating to the Final Closing Statement. The Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses shall become final and binding upon the Parties for purposes of this Section 1.3 on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Sellers give written notice of their disagreement with the Final Closing Statement (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date, which notice, to be valid, must comply in all material respects with this Section 1.3. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted, and include all supporting schedules, analyses, working papers and other documentation, (ii) include only disagreements based on Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Transaction Expenses not being calculated in accordance with this Section 1.3, (iii) specify the line item or items in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Transaction Expenses with which Sellers disagree and the amount of each such line item or items as calculated by Sellers, and (iv) include Sellers’ calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable. Sellers and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts included in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Transaction Expenses delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(b) except such items that are specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement.

(e) Resolution of Disputes. If Sellers deliver, in a timely manner, Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 1.3(d), then the Final Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this Section 1.3(e))and the resulting calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses resulting therefrom, shall become final and binding upon the Parties for purposes of this Section 1.3(e) on the earlier of (i) the date any and all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement are finally resolved in writing by Sellers and Buyer and (ii) the date any and all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement not resolved by Sellers and Buyer are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Accountant. The Final Closing Statement shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect any resolution by Sellers and Buyer and any final resolution made by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.3(e). During the 30-day period following the delivery of a timely Notice of Disagreement or such longer period as Sellers and Buyer shall mutually agree, Sellers and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed by Sellers and Buyer),

3

Sellers and Buyer have not so resolved such differences, Sellers and Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to BDO USA LLP, or such other firm of accountants as the Parties shall otherwise agree in writing (the “Independent Accountant”) for review and resolution of any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were included in the Notice of Disagreement in accordance with this Section 1.3. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be based solely on the provisions of this Agreement and shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to have judgment entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer and Sellers in proportion to the manner in which the amount that is subject to dispute is determined in favor of, or adversely to, each Party. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall bear all expenses of its or their own independent accountants incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and any Notice of Disagreement.

(f) Closing Consideration Adjustment.

(i) If the Final Adjusted Closing Consideration is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Consideration, then within five Business Days of the determination of the Final Closing Statement, Buyer shall pay Sellers an aggregate amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Sellers prior to the date when such payment is due.

(ii) If the Final Adjusted Closing Consideration is less than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Consideration, then within five Business Days of the determination of the Final Closing Statement, Sellers shall, pro rata based on their respective ownership of the Company Shares, pay or cause to be paid to Buyer an amount equal to such deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer prior to the date when such payment is due. An example of calculations related to such adjustment is attached hereto as Schedule 1.3 for illustrative purposes only.

1.4 Payment of Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses. Sellers shall deliver with the Estimated Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(a): (i) with respect to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, the name of each Person to which any Estimated Closing Indebtedness is owed and the amount owed to each such Person, and pay-off letters (including wire instructions for payment) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer executed at or prior to the Closing by all such Persons, and (ii) with respect to the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, the name of each Person to which any payment of any Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses is owed and the amount owed to each such Person, and copies of each invoice reflecting the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses (including wire instructions for payment).

4

1.5 Escrow. On the Closing Date, pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(iii), Buyer shall pay the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Amount pursuant to an escrow agreement among Buyer, Sellers and the Escrow Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), for the one year period immediately following the Closing Date (or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the “Escrow Period”), as security for the potential adjustments to the Closing Consideration set forth in Section 1.3 and for the indemnification obligations of Sellers set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.7, upon termination of the Escrow Period, the balance of the Escrow Amount remaining in escrow shall be distributed to Sellers (pro rata, based on their respective ownership of the Company Shares), subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.

1.6 Earn Out.

(a) In addition to the Closing Consideration, Sellers shall be eligible to receive additional payments (“Earn-Out Payments”), calculated and paid out an annual basis with respect to the Earn-Out Years if the Company and Subsidiary achieve certain performance metrics, as described in this Section 1.6.

(b) Sellers will be entitled to an Earn-Out Payment in an Earn-Out Year only if both of the following conditions (collectively, the “Earn-Out Conditions”) are satisfied in such Earn-Out Year: (i) the Consolidated EBITDA Percentage for such Earn-Out Year must equal or exceed the Minimum EBITDA Percentage set forth in the table below (the “Minimum EBITDA Percentage”) for such Earn-Out Year; and (ii) ) the Consolidated Gross Revenue for such Earn-Out Year must equal or exceed an amount equal to 70% of the Target Revenue set forth in the table below (the “Target Revenue”) for such Earn-Out Year. “Consolidated EBITDA Percentage” means, for any Earn-Out Year, the amount (stated on a percentage basis) determined by dividing (1) the Consolidated EBITDA for such Earn-Out Year by (2) the Consolidated Gross Revenue for such Earn-Out Year.

Earn-Out Year | Target Revenue | Minimum EBITDA Percentage | Target Earn Out Payments | Revenue Low Band (70% of Target) | Revenue High Band (150% of Target)
1 | $11,265,834.78 | 25% | $250,000.00 | $175,000.00 | $375,000
2 | $15,208,876.95 | 25% | $650,000.00 | $455,000.00 | $975,000
3 | $20,531,983.89 | 25% | $1,500,000.00 | $1,050,000.00 | $2,250,000
4 | $26,691,579.05 | 25% | $2,600,000.00 | 1,820,000.00 | $3,900,000
Totals | $73,698,274.67 |  | $5,000,000.00 | $3,500,000.00 | $7,500,000.00

(c) If, in any Earn-Out Year, both of the Earn-Out Conditions are satisfied, then Buyer will pay Sellers an Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year, in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the applicable Target Earn-Out Payment (as set forth in the table above) by (ii) the Revenue Factor for such Earn Out Year. The “Revenue Factor” for an Earn-Out Year is determined by dividing (1) the Consolidated Gross Revenue for such Earn-Out Year by (2) the Target Revenue for such Earn-Out Year; provided, however, that in no event shall the Revenue Factor exceed 1.5 (and, if the Revenue Factor for an Earn-Out Year would exceed 1.5

5

based on such calculation, the Revenue Factor shall be 1.5). If either or both of the Earn-Out Conditions are not satisfied in any Earn-Out Year, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be due for such Earn-Out Year.

(d) On or before the Earn-Out Due Date of the year following the expiration of an Earn-Out Year, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers (i) Buyer’s calculation of Consolidated Gross Revenue, Consolidated EBITDA, EBITDA Percentage and the Earn-Out Payment, if any, due for such Earn Out Year; and (ii) payment of the applicable Earn-Out Payment, in the manner described in this Section. Buyer shall pay any Earn-Out Payment due hereunder by the issuance to Sellers of the aggregate number of Buyer Shares having an aggregate value equal to the Earn-Out Payment, as determined based on the applicable Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price. The aggregate number of Buyer Shares that Buyer will issue in payment of an Earn-Out Payment will be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Earn-Out Payment by (B) the applicable Volume Weighted Average Closing Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price applicable to any Earn-Out Payment is less than an amount equal to $45.07, then Buyer may, at its option, pay the applicable Earn-Out Payment in cash, rather than Buyer Shares.

(e) If there is a Change of Control prior to the end of the last Earn-Out Year, then Buyer will pay to Sellers, at the closing of the Change of Control transaction, a payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) in an amount equal to a 75% of the Target Earn-Out Payments that would have been payable for the Earn-Out Year in which the Change of Control occurs and for all subsequent Earn-Out Years (collectively, the “Accelerated Years”), as follows:

Earn-Out Year in which Change of Control Occurs | Aggregate Target Earn-Out Payments for Accelerated Years | Change of Control Payment (75% of Target Earn-Out Payments for Accelerated Years)
1 | $5,000,000 | $3,750,000
2 | $4,750,000 | $3,562,500
3 | $4,100,000 | $3,075,000
4 | $2,600,000 | $1,950,000

The Change of Control Payment will be in full satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to pay any remaining Earn-Out Payments following the Change of Control transaction.

(f) After the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Company and Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Earn-Out Years, Buyer shall not (and shall cause the Company and Subsidiary to not), directly or indirectly, take any actions that would have the intended purpose of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-Out Payments and the parties agree that the following principles attached hereto as Schedule B shall be applied for purposes of calculating any Buyer’s calculation of Consolidated Gross Revenue, Consolidated EBITDA, EBITDA Percentage and the Earn-Out Payment.

(g) All calculations with respect to the Earn-Out Payments shall be in United States Dollars. For purposes of calculating Consolidated Gross Revenue and Consolidated

6

EBITDA, where any amounts relate to any currency other than the United States Dollar, such amount shall be converted into the United States Dollar at the prevailing exchange rate between the respective currencies as set forth in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of the applicable Earn-Out Year.

3.18 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Schedule 3.18(a) lists all “employee benefit plans,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and all other material retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, stock, restricted stock, stock option, stock purchase, equity-based, profits interest, phantom equity, employment, service, retainer, compensation, consulting, change in control, welfare, health (including medical, dental and vision), life, disability, group insurance, savings, deferred compensation, bonus or incentive compensation, paid time off, severance, salary continuation, retention, indemnification and fringe benefit and perquisite (including but not limited to benefits relating to automobiles, clubs, vacation, child care, parenting, sabbatical, sick leave, and tuition reimbursement) agreements, arrangements, plans, programs, Contracts, policies, or practices maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by the Company or Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer, director, member, partner or independent contractor of the Company or Subsidiary or with respect to which the Company or Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate may have any material Liability, whether contingent or otherwise (the “Benefit Plans”). In the case of each “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, Schedule 3.18(a) discloses whether such plan is (i) unfunded, (ii) funded through a “welfare benefit fund,” as such term is defined in Code Section 419(e), or other funding mechanism or (iii) insured.

(b) As applicable, with respect to each Benefit Plan, Sellers have delivered or made available to Buyer true and complete copies, to the extent applicable, of (i) all plan documents (including all amendments and modifications thereof) and in the case of an unwritten Benefit Plan, a written description of the material terms thereof, (ii) the current summary plan description and each summary of material modifications thereto, (iii) the most recent IRS determination, advisory or opinion letter, (iv) all funding and administrative arrangement documents, including trust agreements, insurance contracts, custodial agreements, investment manager agreements and service agreements, (v) for the three most recent years Form 5500s; and (vi) all communications, records, notices and filings received from or sent to the IRS, Department of Labor or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

(c) The Company, Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate are in material compliance with the provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws applicable to the Benefit Plans (including all applicable aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended). Each Benefit Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in material compliance with its terms and any related documents or agreements and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws. None of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred

21

and none could reasonably be expected to incur an employer shared responsibility penalty under Section 4980H of the Code. The Company, Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate have timely and accurately satisfied their reporting obligations under Sections 6055 and 6056 of the Code.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(d), no Benefit Plan provides for or continues medical or health benefits, or life insurance or other welfare benefits (through insurance or otherwise) for any Person or any dependent or beneficiary of any Person beyond termination of service or retirement other than coverage mandated by Law, and none of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has made a written or oral promise, or any communication that could reasonably be expected to promise, to any Person to provide any such benefits.

(e) No Benefit Plan is (or at any time has been), and none of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (i) has ever contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or has any liability (contingent or otherwise) under or with respect to, and no current or former employees of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate currently participate or ever have participated in (with respect to their employment with the Company, Subsidiary or an ERISA Affiliate) any employee benefit plan that is (i) subject to Part 3, Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA or Code Section 412, (ii) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) a “multiple employer plan” as described in Section 413€ of the Code, (iv) a “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” (as defined in Section 501€(9) of the Code), or (v) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA).

(f) All Benefit Plans which are “employee pension benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA and which are intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401(a) have received a favorable determination letter (or an opinion or advisory letter on which it is entitled to rely) from the IRS that such Benefit Plan is qualified under Code Section 401(a). To the knowledge of Sellers, no event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Benefit Plan or trust under Code Sections 401(a) or 501(a).

(g) All contributions (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) and premium payments which are or have been due have been paid to or with respect to each Benefit Plan within the time required by Law. All required or discretionary (in accordance with historical practices) payments, premiums, contributions, reimbursements, or accruals for all periods ending prior to or as of the Closing Date shall have been made or properly accrued on the Interim Balance Sheet or will be properly accrued on the books and records of the Company, Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate as of the Closing Date. None of the Benefit Plans has any unfunded Liabilities which are not reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet. None of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has any assets subject to (or expected to be subject to) a lien for unpaid contributions to any Benefit Plan.

(h) Sellers’ execution of, and performance of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) except as set forth on Schedule 3.18(h), constitute an event under any Benefit Plan or related agreement, trust or loan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting (other than vesting required due

22

to the termination of tax-qualified retirement plans, which shall not require an additional contribution to such plans), distribution, increase in benefits, or other obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Person or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition or any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan (or result in any adverse consequence for so doing). The execution of this Agreement, and performance of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) result in any payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company or Subsidiary that may be characterized as “excess parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. Neither the Company nor Subsidiary has any Liability or obligation to make a payment that is not or will not be deductible under Code Section 280G. No Person is entitled to receive any additional payment (including any tax gross-up or other payment) as a result of the imposition of the excise taxes required by Code Section 4999.

(i) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened Actions by or on behalf of any Benefit Plan, any employee or beneficiary covered under any Benefit Plan, any Authority with respect to a Benefit Plan, or otherwise involving any Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits). No Benefit Plan is under audit or investigation by any Authority and, to the knowledge of Sellers, no such audit or investigation is threatened.

(j) Each of the Benefit Plans can be terminated at any time in the sole discretion of the plan sponsor, without any additional contribution to such Benefit Plan or the payment of any additional compensation or amount or acceleration of any benefits (other than accelerated vesting with respect to tax-qualified retirement plans, which shall not require any additional contribution to be made).

(k) Each Benefit Plan that constitutes a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, complies (and has at all relevant times complied) in both form and operation with the material requirements of Code Section 409A so that no amount paid pursuant to any such Benefit Plan is or will be subject to tax under Code Section 409A; and none of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is or has been required to report any Taxes due as a result of a failure of a Benefit Plan to comply with Code Section 409A. With respect to each Benefit Plan, none of the Company, Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has any indemnity obligation for any Taxes or interest imposed or accelerated under Code Section 409A.

Buyer has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting prior to the date hereof, to Buyer’s auditors and audit committee of Buyer’s board of directors (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Buyer’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting.

(e) Buyer is in compliance with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NASDAQ.

4.7 Buyer Shares. The authorized share capital of Buyer consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 7,470,422 shares are issued and outstanding. The Buyer Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized and, upon issuance pursuant to this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will be issued free of any preemptive rights, liens or restrictions other than those imposed pursuant to the Securities Act.

4.8 Acquisition of Company Shares. Buyer is acquiring the Company Shares for its own account and not with a view to distribution with the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Buyer is an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined by Rule 501 of the Securities Act). Buyer confirms that the Company and Sellers have made available to Buyer the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management employees of the Company and the Subsidiary and to acquire additional information about the business and financial condition of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit in any way the representations and warranties of the Company and Sellers in this Agreement or the right of the Buyer to rely thereon.

4.9 No General Solicitation; Compliance with Securities Act. Buyer did not undertake any general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance of the Buyer Shares as contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to any Buyer Shares delivered to Sellers pursuant to this

30

Agreement, Buyer will issue to each Seller, as payment of such Earn-Out Payment, the Buyer Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

4.10 Brokers. Buyer has not retained, nor is Buyer obligated for any commission, fee or expense to, any broker, finder or investment banking firm to act on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and, to the knowledge of Buyer, no other Person is entitled to receive any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

4.11 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, since December 31, 2020, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, or 1934 Act reporting status of Buyer.

4.12 Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. Neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s Affiliates or representatives or any other Person is making any representation or warranty on behalf of Buyer of any kind or nature whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Article IV and Buyer hereby disclaims any such other representations or warranties.

Article V.
COVENANTS

5.1 Confidentiality. Each Seller shall keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for its own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any confidential or proprietary information, technology, know-how, trade secrets (including all results of research and development), product formulas, industrial designs, franchises, inventions or other intellectual property regarding Buyer, the Company, Subsidiary, or any of their respective businesses and operations including, without limitation, any such information regarding the Business (“Confidential Information”) in its or his possession or control. The obligations of each Seller under this Section 5.1 shall not apply to Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section; or (ii) is required to be disclosed by Law; provided, however, that, in any such case, the applicable Seller shall notify Buyer as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow Buyer to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

5.2 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Seller covenants and agrees not to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly and anywhere in the Restricted Territory, conduct, manage, operate, engage in, or have an ownership interest in any business or enterprise engaged in (i) the Business (other than the Buyer or the Buyer Shares), or (ii) any activities that are otherwise similar to, or competitive with, the Business. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2(a), the beneficial ownership of less than five

31

percent of the shares of stock or other equity interests of any corporation or other entity having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market and not formed for the purpose of circumventing this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate the provisions of this Section 5.2(a).

(b) During the Restricted Period, each Seller covenants and agrees not to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, call-on, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Person which is or was a past, present or prospective customer or other business relation of the Company or Subsidiary as of the Closing Date for the provision of products or services related to the Business or in any other manner that would otherwise interfere with business relationships between Buyer and such customers and other business relations.

(c) During the Restricted Period, each Seller covenants and agrees not to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, call-on, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Person who was employed or engaged as an independent contractor by the Company or Subsidiary on or at any time before the Closing Date, to leave the employ or engagement of the Company or Subsidiary or their Affiliates (including Buyer) for any reason whatsoever, nor shall any Seller offer or provide employment (except on behalf of the Company or the Subsidiary), either on a full-time basis or part-time or consulting basis, to any such Person.

(d) Sellers acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 5.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and its acquisition of the Company Shares. Neither Seller shall contest that Buyer’s remedies at law for any breach or threat of breach by any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates of the provisions of this Section 5.2 may be inadequate, and that Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 5.2 and to enforce specifically such terms and provisions, in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer may be entitled at law or equity. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5.2 are covenants independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties hereunder and the existence of any claim which any Seller may allege against Buyer under any other provision of the Agreement or any other agreement will not prevent the enforcement of these covenants.

(e) If any of the provisions contained in this Section 5.2 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, then such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable Law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.3 Nondisparagement. Each Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, at any time, in any written or oral communications with the press or other media, any customer, client, stakeholder, investor or supplier of the other Party, or its Affiliate, or any other Person, criticize, ridicule, or make or encourage any other Person to make any statement that disparages, is derogatory of, or is negative toward the personal or business reputation, conduct or practices of the other Party, any of its Affiliates, or any of their then current or former respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or attorneys.

32

5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, Buyer shall, at the request of Sellers, execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and take all such further action as Sellers may reasonably request in order to evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. From time to time after the Closing, each Seller shall, at the request of Buyer, execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and take all such further action as Buyer may reasonably request in order to evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.5 Release. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Sellers, on behalf of himself, and his respective Affiliates and their respective past, present or future predecessors or successors (each, a “Releasing Party”), hereby irrevocably waives, releases, remises, and forever discharges each of the Company and Subsidiary, Buyer and their respective Affiliates and their respective past, present or future shareholders, partners, members and representatives and each of their respective successors from any and all actions, promises, agreements, rights to payment, rights to any equitable remedy, rights to any equitable subordination, demands, debts, Liabilities, express or implied contractual obligations, obligations of payment or performance, rights of offset or recoupment, accounts, Losses or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other professional fees and expenses), whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, direct or derivative, which such Releasing Party or any of its Affiliates may have against such party as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Claims”), other than claims arising under this Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements or such rights to indemnification of such Seller as an officer or director for Third Party Claims which would be covered by any insurance policy. Each Seller understand that the released Claims include not only Claims presently known to it, but also include all unknown or unanticipated Claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the released Claims as described above. Each Seller understands that he may hereafter discover facts different from what it now believes to be true, which if known, could have materially affected this release, but it nevertheless waives any Claims or rights based on different or additional facts.

5.6 Representation & Warranty Insurance. Prior to the Closing, Buyer has purchased the R&W Insurance Policy issued through the R&W Insurer, a true and complete copy of which has been provided to Sellers. Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall each have paid 50% of all costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions, taxes related to such policy and other fees and expenses of such policy; provided, however, that Sellers’ portion shall be capped at $75,000.00(USD) and Buyer shall have paid Sellers’ portion in excess thereof.

5.7 Registration of Buyer Shares Issued to Sellers. At the Closing, Buyer will execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement.

5.8 Termination of 401(k) Plan. Effective immediately prior to the Closing, Subsidiary has terminated the Cal OpEx, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), subject to and in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan.

5.9 Directions. With effect from Closing and until Buyer is entered in the Company's register of members as the holder of each of the Company Shares, each Seller irrevocably agrees

33

that he will follow the directions of Buyer (acting by any of its directors from time to time) in respect to the exercise of all rights of that Seller in relation to the Company Shares registered in the name of that Seller as Buyer in its absolute discretion sees fit including, inter alia, in relation to exercising all and any voting rights attached to the relevant Company Shares and signing any resolution as registered holder of the relevant Company Shares or any other documents required to be signed in respect of the relevant Company Shares.

Article VI.
Tax Matters

6.1 Tax Indemnification. Sellers, severally (but not jointly) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, Subsidiary and Buyer from and against the entirety of any Losses the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of or caused by each and all of the following: (a) any and all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company or Subsidiary for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (b) any and all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign Law or regulation, and (c) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company or Subsidiary) imposed on the Company or Subsidiary as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before Closing; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, Sellers shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, taken into account in determining the adjustments set forth in Section 1.3.

6.2 Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company or Subsidiary for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company or Subsidiary for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period

6.3 Transfer Taxes. As used in this Agreement, “Transfer Taxes” means all sales taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, conveyance taxes, intangible taxes, documentary recording taxes, license and registration fees, recording fees and any similar taxes or fees incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall be responsible for and pay 100% of the Irish stamp duty on the transfer of the Company Shares by Sellers to Buyer (the “Irish Stamp Tax”) and no deductions shall be made for the Irish Stamp Tax from payments due to Sellers. Each of Sellers (collectively), on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall be responsible for and pay 50% of all other Transfer Taxes (other

34

than the Irish Stamp Tax). Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (except to the extent such Tax Returns are required by law to be filed by Sellers), and Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in the filing of any such Tax Returns, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to minimize any applicable Transfer Taxes.

6.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as is practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company or Subsidiary (including without limitation access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Sellers shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes (including income related Taxes) for any period up to and including the Closing Date, pertaining to the Company or Subsidiary, for at least seven years following the Closing Date. At the end of such period, either Party may elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records upon request to the other Party. Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide the other with all information that either may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043, or Code §6043A, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.5 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and Subsidiary that are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return relating to a Straddle Period or any period prior to Closing described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers.

6.6 Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, the Company or Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer, the Company or Subsidiary becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any Taxes of Buyer, the Company or Subsidiary attributable to such refund or credit) within 30 days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, Buyer shall not be required to pay over to Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit up to the amount of any Tax asset taken into account in determining the adjustments set forth in Section 1.3.

6.7 Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company or Subsidiary to (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year, in each such case without the prior written consent of Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

35

7.2 General Indemnification.

(a) Sellers, severally (but not jointly), shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses that are incurred or suffered by any of them in connection with or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by any Seller in this Agreement;

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or

(iii) the enforcement by the Seller Indemnified Parties of their indemnification rights under this Agreement.

7.3 General Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a) To the extent not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy and subject to such other limitations as set forth in this Section 7.3 and Section 7.5, (i) each Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall be several up to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Overall Cap Amount.

(b) Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was (i) included as a Current Liability in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(f); or (ii) included in the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(f).

(c) The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses sustained or incurred by the Indemnified Parties, as and to the extent required by Law.

(d) The indemnities herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in this Article VII (and their permitted successors and assigns) and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of or be enforceable by, any other Person.

(e) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty or Covenant set forth in this Agreement, such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds (other than R&W Insurance Policy proceeds) actually received by, or paid on behalf of, the Indemnified Party in respect of the Losses (net of (i) any deductible amounts and any reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such insurance proceeds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (ii) any increase in insurance premiums reasonably attributable to insurance proceeds paid in respect of such Losses).

(f) With respect to any indemnification claims related to a breach of any Fundamental Representations, except in the event of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation

37

by Seller or a breach by a Seller of the covenants in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, each such Seller shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for more than such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Overall Cap Amount.

7.4 Treatment of Indemnification. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.5 Indemnification Threshold; Cap Amount; Overall Cap Amount.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 and Section 7.5(c) and the terms of this Article VII, Sellers shall not be obligated to provide any indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) for claims for any misrepresentation or breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5(c)) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Buyer with respect to such misrepresentations or breaches of, or inaccuracies in, representations and warranties exceeds $125,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case Sellers will be liable for all Losses in excess of the Threshold.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5(c) and the terms of this Article VII, the aggregate amount required to be paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) based upon or arising out of or as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations and warranties of Sellers (other than Fundamental Representations), shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Escrow Amount (the “Cap Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a misrepresentation or breach of, or inaccuracy in, any Fundamental Representation shall not be counted against (i.e., shall not reduce) the Cap Amount under this Section 7.5(b).

(c) Neither the Threshold nor the Cap Amount shall apply to Losses (i) arising in respect of claims for misrepresentation or breach of, or inaccuracy in, the Fundamental Representations (excluding Section 3.18 (Employee Benefit Matters), to which the Threshold shall apply) or (ii) suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of, or arising out of, the matters set forth in Sections 7.2(a)(ii) through 7.2(a)(vi) or Section 6.1, or (iii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Seller.

(d) For purposes of determining the existence of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, any and all references to material, materiality, or Material Adverse Effect (or other correlative terms) shall be disregarded.

7.6 Process for Indemnification.

(a) A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall herein be referred to as an “Indemnified Party.” A Party obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder shall herein be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.” As soon as is reasonable after an Indemnified Party either (i) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnifying Party hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) sustains

38

any Loss not involving a Third Party Claim or action which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, action or Loss, as the case may be; provided, however, that failure to notify Indemnifying Party shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation, except to the extent Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced in its defense of the Action by such failure. Any such notification must be in writing and must state in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the claim, Action or Loss, to the extent known. Except as provided in this Section 7.6, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right using counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to contest, defend, litigate or settle any such Third Party Claim which involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within 15 days of the Indemnified Party having given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that (1) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in such notice to the Indemnified Party that, as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to fully satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim subject to the limitations with respect to indemnification included in this Agreement; (2) if reasonably requested to do so by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have made reasonably adequate provision to ensure the Indemnified Party of the financial ability of the Indemnifying Party to satisfy the full amount of any adverse monetary judgment that may result from such Third Party Claim; (3) assumption by the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim would not reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s business; and (4) the Indemnifying Party shall diligently contest the Third Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) being collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”).

(b) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in, and to be represented by counsel (at its own expense) in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim or if representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would, in the reasonable opinion of such counsel, constitute a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled, and shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions.

(c) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or which does not provide for a complete release by such third party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief. All expenses (including

39

attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. No failure by an Indemnifying Party to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations under this Article VII shall relieve it of such obligations to the extent such obligations exist.

(d) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party fails to accept a tender of, or assume the defense of, a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.6, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled, and shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnified Party deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Party. If, pursuant to this Section 7.6, the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of contesting, defending, litigating and/or settling the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time.

7.7 Recoupment Against Escrow. Sellers agree that Buyer shall be entitled to receive payment from the Escrow Agent, from the Escrow Amount, any amount necessary to satisfy (a) Sellers’ indemnification obligations with respect to any Claim for Losses required to be paid by Sellers pursuant to this Article VII; (b) Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VI; and (c) any obligation of Sellers to pay any amounts that may become due to Buyer pursuant to Section 0 with respect to the reductions to the Closing Consideration, which right may be exercised at any time after such payments become due. When Buyer becomes entitled to any payment from the Escrow Amount pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly sign and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written direction authorizing such payment to Buyer, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Upon expiration of the Escrow Period, Buyer and Sellers shall sign and deliver to the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, a written direction authorizing the payment of the remaining Escrow Amount, if any, to Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 1.5, if, at the expiration of the Escrow Period there is one or more pending Claims by a Buyer Indemnified Party against Sellers for indemnification pursuant to Article VI or Article VII, but there has not been a final resolution of such Claim, then Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent written direction authorizing the Escrow Agent to continue to hold in escrow the portion of the Escrow Amount that Buyer reasonably deems necessary to fully satisfy such Claim (up to the full remaining amount of the Escrow Amount then held in escrow), until such time as there is a final resolution of such Claim or Claims (at which time Buyer and Sellers shall sign and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written direction authorizing payment to Buyer or Sellers, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement).

7.8 Right of Setoff. Without limiting any other remedies available at law or in equity, but subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, Buyer shall have the right to set off against any payments due and owing from Buyer or its Affiliates to any Seller including, without limitation, the Earn-Out Payments, but specifically excluding any compensation payments and

40

8.12 Waiver of Conflict.

In addition, all communications involving attorney-client communications between or among the Company, Subsidiary, the Sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates and the Law Firms, solely to the extent that such communications (a) would be considered attorney-client confidences under applicable Law and (b) (i) solely relate to the Current Representation or (ii) solely relate to Sellers (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences of Sellers (and not Buyer). Accordingly, the Privileged Communications shall remain privileged after the Closing Date and the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer shall not use any such Privileged Communications or demand access to the files of the Law Firms related to the Privileged Communications. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing Date, (i) Sellers (and not the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer) shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Privileged Communications, and the Company or Subsidiary shall not be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of the Law Firms in respect of Privileged Communications constitute property of the client, only Sellers (and not the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer) shall hold such property rights and (iii) the Law Firms shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications or such files thereof to the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Law Firms and the Company, Subsidiary or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or the Company, or the Subsidiary and a third party (other than a Party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing Date, the Company or Subsidiary may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Law Firms to such third

44

party; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Subsidiary may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties hereto agree that, other than the Privileged Communications, as to all other pre-Closing communications between the Law Firms, on the one hand, and the Company, Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, including such communications that relate to the prior and ongoing business of the Company or Subsidiary, the attorney-client privilege and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege shall continue to belong to the Company or Subsidiary and may be controlled by the Company or the Subsidiary and shall not pass to or be claimed by Sellers or their Affiliates. Buyer shall not knowingly disclose any Privileged Communications to any third party following the Closing Date, unless compelled to disclose such Privileged Communications by judicial or administrative process or by other applicable Law. Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly upon receipt by Buyer of any subpoena, discovery or other request from a third party that, to Buyer’s knowledge, calls for the production or disclosure of any Privileged Communications, promptly notify the Sellers of the existence of such subpoena, discovery or other request so that Sellers may assert, at the Sellers’ sole cost, any rights it may have to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Communications.

8.13 Delivery by Facsimile and Email. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by electronic mail, shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of this Agreement and each such Party forever waives any such defense.
