Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, the Company is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and is not assuming any other liability or obligation of Seller, whether presently in existence or arising hereafter. All such other liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of Seller (all such liabilities and obligations not being assumed being herein referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities”), and Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, pay and satisfy in due course all Excluded Liabilities related to the Business that they are obligated to pay and satisfy.

Section 2.05 Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Purchased Asset. Seller, Buyer and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money by Seller, Buyer or the Company) to obtain the consent of such third parties to any such Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to the Company as Buyer may request. Without limiting Seller’s obligation to

deliver the Required Consents at Closing pursuant to Section 2.09, if such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that the Company would not in fact receive all such rights, Buyer and the Company acknowledge that Seller shall not thereby be in breach of this Section 2.05, and Seller and the Company shall cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which the Company would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to the Company, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of the Company, with the Company assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto; provided, that if the Company elects not to enter into such an arrangement, Seller shall nevertheless be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder. Seller shall promptly pay to the Company when received all monies received by Seller under any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, except to the extent the same represents an Excluded Asset.

Section 2.06 Wrong Pocket Assets. In the event that, at any time or from time to time for three years after the Closing Date, Seller, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other, shall become aware that it has received or otherwise possesses any asset that should belong to another Person pursuant to this Agreement, such Person shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset to the Person so entitled thereto. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for such other Person.

Section 2.07 Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Delayed Assets) (the “Purchase Price”) is $20,230,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Debt Consideration”) and 601,969 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 2.08 and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.11.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but not later than 45 days, the Company shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating each of the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration to each of the Purchased Assets in accordance with Applicable Law. If within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement Seller notifies the Company in writing that Seller objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Seller and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within 15 days. In the event that Seller and the Company are unable to resolve such dispute within 15 days, Seller and the Company shall jointly retain a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) to resolve the disputed items. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. The

costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the Company and Seller.

(c) Seller and the Company agree to (i) be bound by the Allocation Statement and (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax return, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or a Taxing Authority.

(d) If an adjustment is made with respect to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.11 or ARTICLE 11, the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller. In the event that an agreement is not reached within 15 days after the determination of Final Working Capital, any disputed items shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 2.07(b). Seller and the Company agree to file any additional information return required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.351-3 and to treat the Allocation Statement as adjusted in the manner described in Section 2.07(b).

Section 2.08 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets (other than the Delayed Assets) and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as soon as possible, but in no event later than two Business Days, after satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 10 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing), or at such other time or place as Buyer and Seller may agree.

(f) Seller and the Company shall enter into a “Trademark Assignment Agreement” in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.

Section 2.09 Delayed Closing. On the date that is six months following the Closing (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter), or at such other time as the Company and Seller may agree, Seller and the Company shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A with respect to the Delayed Assets (the “Delayed Assets Assignment and Assumption Agreement”, and, subject to the provisions hereof, Seller shall deliver to the Company such deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, consents, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and assignment as the parties and their respective counsel shall deem reasonably necessary to vest in the Company all right, title and interest in, to and under the Delayed Assets.

Section 2.10 Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities; Closing Working Capital Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days, after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller (i) the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities and (ii) a certificate setting forth Buyer’s calculation

of Closing Working Capital based upon the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The “Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities” shall (x) fairly present the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Business as at the close of business on the Closing Date, (y) include line items substantially consistent with those in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and (z) be prepared in accordance with accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The “Closing Working Capital Statement” shall (x) fairly present the asset and liability accounts of the Business presented therein as at the close of business on the Closing Date, (y) include line items and adjustments consistent with those in the calculation of the Base Working Capital, and (z) be prepared in accordance with accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the calculation of the Base Working Capital.

(b) If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a), Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the documents referred to in Section 2.10(a), deliver a notice to Buyer disagreeing with such calculation and that specifies Seller’s calculation of such amount and in reasonable detail, Seller’s grounds for such disagreement. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Closing Working Capital Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a).

(c) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Buyer and Seller shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Working Capital, which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Buyer’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Seller’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b). If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement during such period, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Accounting Referee promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Closing Working Capital Statement as to which Seller has disagreed. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable but in any event within twenty-five (25) days, a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by Buyer if the difference between Final Working Capital and Closing Working Capital as set forth in Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a) is greater than the difference between Final Working Capital and Closing Working Capital as set forth in Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(b), (ii) by Seller if the first such difference is less than the second such difference and (iii) otherwise equally by Buyer and Seller.

(d) Buyer and Seller agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the calculation of Closing Working Capital and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in this Section 2.10, including making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers (to the extent in such party’s possession or, with respect to Buyer, in the Company’s possession) and personnel to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Closing Working Capital Statement; provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or Seller, as applicable.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.10 and of Section 2.11 shall be the sole and definitive means of determining Final Working Capital and any adjustment related to such amount, and no amount used in such determination shall be subject to a claim for indemnity under ARTICLE 11.

Section 2.11 Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) If Final Working Capital is less than Base Working Capital minus the Working Capital Collar, an amount equal to the difference between the Final Working Capital and the Base Working Capital shall be paid to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.11. If Final Working Capital is greater than Base Working Capital plus the Working Capital Collar, an amount equal to the difference between the Final Working Capital and the Base Working Capital shall be paid to Seller by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.11. “Final Working Capital” means Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in the Closing Working Capital Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a) if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Accounting Referee’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(c); provided that in no event shall Final Working Capital be less than as set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement or more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

(b) Any payment to be made by the Company or Seller pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within 10 days after Final Working Capital has been determined by delivery of a certified or official bank check payable to Seller or the Company, respectively, in immediately available funds or by causing such payments to be credited to such account as may be designated by Seller or the Company, as the case may be.

Section 2.12 Tax Treatment. The parties hereby agree that the sale and contribution of the Purchased Assets by Seller and transfer of Assumed Liabilities to the Company in exchange for the issuance to Seller of the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration and the related issuance of the Preferred Stock to Buyer constitutes a

transfer of property to the Company governed by Section 351 of the Code. Except as otherwise required by (i) a Taxing Authority or (ii) a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, none of the parties will take a position inconsistent with the foregoing treatment for any income tax purposes.

Section 2.13 Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement in such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Company to the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

ARTICLE 3

Subject to Section 13.12, except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer and the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

Section 3.01 Corporate Existence and Power. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all corporate power to carry on the Business as now conducted. Section 3.01 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction in which Seller is licensed or qualified to do business. Seller is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of the Purchased Assets or the operation of the Business as currently conducted makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to obtain any such license or qualification is not material to the Purchased Assets or the Business.

Section 3.02 Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are within Seller’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). When each Ancillary Agreement to which Seller is or will be a party has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, such Ancillary Agreement will, assuming the execution and delivery of such Ancillary Agreement by the other parties thereto, constitute a valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against

Seller in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity).

Section 3.03 Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority.

Section 3.04 Noncontravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Seller, (ii) violate any Applicable Law in any material respect, (iii) assuming all Required Consents are obtained, constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would (x) constitute a default under or give rise to any right of notice, termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any right or obligation or to a loss of any benefit relating to the Business to which Seller is entitled under any provision of any material agreement or other material instrument binding upon Seller or to which any of the Purchased Assets or the Business are subject or (y) constitute a default under or give rise to any right of notice, termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any right or obligation or to a loss of any benefit relating to the Business to which Seller is entitled under any provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon Seller or to which any of the Purchased Assets or the Business are subject, which, in the aggregate with any other such defaults or events, would be material to the Business or the Purchased Assets, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Purchased Asset, except for Permitted Liens.

Section 3.05 Financial Statements. The unaudited statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 and the related statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, as applicable, and the unaudited interim statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2016 and the related unaudited interim statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 for the Business (the “Financial Statements”) are set forth on Section 3.05 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. The Financial Statements have been derived from the historical financial statements of Seller and its Subsidiaries and fairly present the assets and liabilities of the Business. The Financial Statements (i) do not purport to represent or be indicative of what the results of operations of the Business will be in any future period or at any future date and (ii) have been prepared in good faith based on the assumptions set forth in Section 3.05 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 3.06 Absence of Certain Changes.

(a) Since the Statement Date, the Business has been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices. Since the Statement Date, and other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, there has not been, solely with respect to the Business:

(ii) any material damage, destruction or loss, or any material interruption in the use, of the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole, whether or not covered by insurance.

(b) From the Statement Date until the date hereof, there has not been any action taken by Seller that, if taken during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date without Buyer’s consent, would have constituted a breach of Section 5.01.

Section 3.07 No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. There are no liabilities of the Business of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in such a liability, other than:

(iv) any partnership, joint venture or other similar agreement or arrangement currently in effect;

(v) any agreement relating to the acquisition or disposition of any business (whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise);

Contract or has provided or received any written notice or, to the knowledge of the Seller, any other notice, of any intention to terminate any Material Contract. No event or circumstance has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under any Material Contract or result in a termination thereof or would cause or permit the acceleration or other changes of any material right or material obligation or the loss of any material benefit thereunder. Complete and correct copies of each Material Contract (including all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto and waivers thereunder) have been made available to Buyer. There are no disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened under any Contract which if adversely determined, in the aggregate, would be material to the Purchased Assets or the Business.

Section 3.09 Litigation. Except as set forth on Section 3.09 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, there is no claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding of any nature (civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or otherwise, whether at law or in equity) (an “Action”) pending against, or to the knowledge of Seller, threatened against or affecting, the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities before any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No Action has been filed by or against Seller or, to the knowledge of Seller, otherwise initiated in connection with the Business since January 1, 2015.

There is no material judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority outstanding against Seller relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business.

(b) To the extent relating to the Business and except as set forth on Section 3.10(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, neither Seller, nor, to the knowledge of Seller, any of its manufacturers or co-packers has received or been subject to, in each case since July 1, 2013: (i) any United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Form 483s or equivalent report by inspectors or officials from any other Governmental Authority of any situation requiring correction of conditions or circumstances that are objectionable or otherwise contrary to Applicable Law; (ii) any FDA Notices of Adverse Findings or any equivalent written correspondence from any other Governmental Authority indicating a failure to comply with Applicable Law; or (iii) any warning letters or other written correspondence from the FDA or any other Governmental Authority in which the FDA or such other Governmental Authority asserting that the operations of the Business were not in compliance with Applicable Law.

As of the Closing Date, to the knowledge of Seller, all manufacturers that produce products for Seller in connection with the Business are in substantial compliance with all Applicable Law.

(c) The parties acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.03 would give rise to irreparable harm, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by a party hereto of any such obligations, any other party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific

performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

Those active Business Employees who receive and reject such offer of employment, and all current or former directors, independent contractors, and all other employees of Seller and its Subsidiaries, other than Business Employees, are referred to herein as “Excluded Employees.”

Section 9.04 Company Benefit Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall cease to participate in and accrue benefits under the Employee Benefit Plans, and each Transferred Employee shall commence participation in the Company’s employee benefit plans (“Company Benefit Plans”). Where service with the Company is a relevant criterion for each Transferred Employee for purposes of eligibility for membership in and entitlement to benefits (other than benefit accrual) under the Company Benefit Plans, the Company Benefit Plans shall recognize each Transferred Employee’s period of service with Seller to the same extent recognized by the applicable Employee Benefit Plan (except to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service).

(c) The Company will, using commercially reasonable efforts, waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing medical condition or other restriction that would prevent immediate and full participation of any Transferred Employee in the Company Benefit Plans. In addition, where the benefits provided under a Company Benefit Plan are subject to a deductible in respect of the benefits provided to an individual during a certain period of time, the Company shall, using commercially reasonable efforts, take into account the amount of any corresponding deductible which has already been paid by the applicable Transferred Employee during such period and prior to the Closing Date under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan to the same extent as such amounts had been recognized under such plan, for the purpose of determining the amount of the deductible

to be paid by the Transferred Employee under the Company Benefit Plan after the Closing Date.

(d) Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, (i) Buyer and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller and its Subsidiaries will not be relieved from filing a W-2 with respect to any active Business Employees including the Transferred Employees, and (iii) the Company will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each Transferred Employee with respect to the portion of the year during which such Transferred Employee is employed by the Company or an Affiliate thereof that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Transferred Employee was employed by Seller or its Subsidiaries.

(e) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and contract, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall provide the Company with certain relevant information, as reasonably requested by the Company, with respect to the Transferred Employees to assist in effecting their employment by the Company or an Affiliate thereof following the Closing Date in an orderly fashion.

No provision of this Article shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with either the Company or the Business or any of their Affiliates and no provision of this ARTICLE 9 shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Employee Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established by the Company or any of its Affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Closing Date any such plans or arrangements of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

Section 11.02 Indemnification.

(a) Effective at and after the Closing, Seller hereby indemnifies the Company, Buyer and their respective Affiliates (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against and

agrees to hold each of them harmless from, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all damages, losses, expenses, liabilities, deficiencies, Actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines or costs of whatever kind (including the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, the cost of collecting any amounts available under insurance coverage, and, solely with respect to any Third Party Claims, reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any consequential or punitive damages actually awarded to a third party) (“Damages”) incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, or by reason of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of Seller (each such misrepresentation and breach of warranty a “Warranty Breach”) pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii) any Excluded Liability or Excluded Asset;

(iv) any matter disclosed on Section 11.02(a)(iv) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

provided, that with respect to indemnification by Seller for Warranty Breaches pursuant to Section 11.02(a)(i) (other than Warranty Breaches with respect to Specified Representations), (A) Seller shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Warranty Breaches exceeds $300,000, and then only to the extent of such excess, and (B) Seller’s aggregate liability for all such Warranty Breaches shall not exceed $3,000,000; and further provided, that Seller’s aggregate liability for all indemnification claims pursuant to Section 11.02(a)(i) shall not exceed the amount of the Cash Consideration.

(b) Effective at and after the Closing, the Company shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates against and agree to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Seller or any of its Affiliates arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of Buyer relating to the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii) any Assumed Liability.

(c) Effective at and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates against and agree to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Seller or any of its Affiliates arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty of Buyer (other than misrepresentations or breaches of representations or warranties described in Section 11.02(b)(i)); or

(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

provided, that with respect to indemnification by Seller for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of the Company (other than with respect to Specified Representations), Buyer and the Company’s aggregate liability for all such misrepresentations or breaches shall not exceed $3,000,000; and further provided, that Buyer and the Company’s aggregate liability for all indemnification claims pursuant to Section 11.02(b)(i) and Section 11.02(c)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed the amount of the Cash Consideration.

(d) Buyer and Seller agree to treat any indemnity payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 11 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes.

(e) In no event shall an Indemnified Party be permitted to make a claim for indemnification under Section 11.03 or Section 11.04 (as the case may be) unless such claim is first made pursuant to this Agreement on or before the expiration of the survival of the subject representation, warranty or covenant giving rise to such claim.

Section 11.03 Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 11.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.02, subject to the limitations otherwise set forth therein, and (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with

evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates, (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates, (iv) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to reasonably prosecute or defend the Third Party Claim, or (v) in the case of a Third Party Claim relating to Taxes, the Third Party Claim also relates to a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided no prior consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party in respect of settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim if the settlement, compromise or discharge expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim and the settlement does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates and, in the case of Tax matters, would not adversely affect the Company, the Business or the Purchased Assets after the Closing.

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the control of the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.03, the Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into

any settlement of such Third Party Claim of any matter for which indemnification is required.

(g) Each party shall fully cooperate, and cause their respective affiliates to fully cooperate, in the defense, prosecution or settlement, as applicable, of any Third Party Claim and any Action that relates to an Excluded Liability, which cooperation shall include furnishing or causing to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, and, in connection with the settlement of any False Advertising Claim that relates to an Excluded Liability, removing or modifying any marketing materials, marketing activities or packaging of a product sold by the Business as reasonably required in connection with such settlement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this ARTICLE 11, Seller shall have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of any matters that solely relate to Excluded Liabilities.

Section 11.04 Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 11.02 against an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party any and all Damages arising out of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 13.06.

Section 11.05 Calculation of Damages.

(a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 11.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (i) amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, net of any premium increases, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages in the taxable year the loss resulting in such Damages is incurred or the Damages are paid or any prior year. No Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to pursue recovery under

any insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar contracts. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed of all such efforts. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b) For the purposes of clause Section 11.02(a) above only, “Tax Benefit” means, with respect to any event for which an indemnification payment is made under Section 11.02, the net Tax benefit actually realized as a result of the Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, less any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the receipt of such Tax benefits. An Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes paid by it and its Affiliates is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Persons would have been required to pay but for the applicable Damages taking into account taxes imposed on the Tax Benefits. In computing the amount of any Tax Benefit, an Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any items arising from the incurrence or payment of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE 11. If the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates actually realize any Tax Benefits subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party in the taxable year the loss resulting in such Damages is incurred or the Damages are paid or any prior year, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax Benefits.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 11.02 for any (i) Damages relating to any matter to the extent that (A) there is included in the Closing Statement of Assets and Liabilities a specific liability or reserve relating to such matter, or (B) the Indemnified Party had otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to the Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.11; (ii) consequential or punitive Damages unless actually awarded in a Third Party Claim; (iii) Damages for lost profits; (iv) Damages that arise, or are increased, as a result of a change in Applicable Law (including but not limited to Tax laws) after the Closing Date; or (v) Damages for Taxes attributable to Post-Closing Tax Periods (other than Damages related to (x) Taxes which are Excluded Liabilities, or (y) breaches of representations contained in Section 3.19(c), Section 3.19(g) or Section 3.19(h)). For the avoidance of doubt, Damages for Taxes attributable to Post-Closing Tax Periods shall not include any interest or penalty imposed with respect to any Taxes arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate in accordance with Applicable Law any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification

provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate in accordance with Applicable Law any Damages incurred by any of them in connection with any False Advertising Claim that relates to an Excluded Liability.

(e) For all purposes of this ARTICLE 11 only, once it has been established that there has been any breach of any representation or warranty, or any breach of any covenant or agreement, when calculating the amount of Damages resulting from such breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, any Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

(f) Notwithstanding the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 11.02, such limitations shall not apply in the event of fraud by the Indemnifying Party.

(g) If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 11.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying Claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to assign any right to proceed against a Potential Contributor if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that such assignment would be materially detrimental to its reputation or future business prospects.

Section 11.06 Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, each of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company, on the other hand, hereto waive, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, any rights and claims such party may have against the Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand, whether in law or in equity, relating to the Business or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than in the event of fraud. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the rights and claims waived include claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Law (whether now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. After the Closing, Section 7.04 and this ARTICLE 11 will provide the exclusive remedy for any claim of misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except as set forth in Section 2.11, Section 5.02, Section 6.02, with respect to breaches of the covenants contained in Section 7.06, or with respect to remedies pursuant to any claim of misrepresentation,

breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement arising out of the Ancillary Agreements).

ARTICLE 12
TERMINATION

Section 12.01 Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

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

(b) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before November 30, 2016; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such time; or

(c) by either Seller or Buyer if there shall be any Applicable Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(b) or Section 12.01(c) shall give notice of such termination to the other parties.

Section 12.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 12.01, such termination shall be without liability of the terminating party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to any other party to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) breach by either party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach. The provisions of Section 5.04, Section 6.01, Section 13.01, Section 13.04, Section 13.05 and Section 13.06 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 12.01.

in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City, so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New York, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 13.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 13.07 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 13.08 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 13.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.
