THIS MEMBERSHIP UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated September 27, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among (i) NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NovaBay”); (ii) DERMAdoctor, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“DERMAdoctor”); (iii) ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, individuals residing in the State of Kansas (the “Founders”); (iv) Papillon Partners, Inc., a Missouri corporation (f/k/a DERMAdoctor, Inc. f/k/a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc.) (“Papillon”); and (v) Midwest Growth Partners, L.L.L.P., an Iowa limited liability limited partnership (“MGP” and together with Papillon, the “Sellers”).

WHEREAS, the Founders organized and have been responsible for the operations of DERMAdoctor since its founding, with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ serving as the Chief Executive Officer of DERMAdoctor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ serving as the Chief Creative Officer of DERMAdoctor;

WHEREAS, the Sellers own 100% of the membership units (collectively, the “Membership Units”) of DERMAdoctor of which 82.238% of the Membership Units are owned by the Founders through their sole ownership of Papillon and 17.762% of the Membership Units are owned by MGP; and

WHEREAS, NovaBay desires to purchase all of the Membership Units such that it will become the sole equity owner of DERMAdoctor, and the Founders, the Sellers and DERMAdoctor desire the same, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, NovaBay, DERMAdoctor, the Founders and the Sellers agree as follows:

Article 2
Membership Units to be Purchased

2.1 On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, transfer, convey, or assign and deliver to NovaBay, and NovaBay shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Sellers, all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Membership Units, free and clear of any and all Liens, and the Sellers shall thereafter cease to have any rights as members or as holders of the Membership Units (or any other form of ownership) of DERMAdoctor.

For all purposes under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, all matters at Closing will be considered to take place simultaneously, no delivery of any document will be deemed complete until all transactions and deliveries of documents are completed and the Closing will be deemed to have occurred as of 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the Closing Date irrespective of the actual occurrence of the Closing at any particular time on the Closing Date.

The Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared in good faith and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers and NovaBay. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Full Year Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end. During the period after the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement and prior to the Closing Date, NovaBay shall have an opportunity to review the Estimated Closing Statement and the Sellers and NovaBay shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree upon the Estimated Closing Statement in the event NovaBay, in good faith, disputes any item included in the Estimated Closing Statement; provided, that, if Sellers and NovaBay are not able to reach mutual agreement prior to the Closing Date, the Estimated Closing Statement provided by Sellers to NovaBay shall be binding for purposes of this Section 3.3, but shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing pursuant to Section 3.5.

To the extent the Closing Indebtedness Amount exceeds the Estimated Indebtedness Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward. To the extent the Closing Indebtedness Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward.

- 5 -

(b) Closing Transaction Expenses Amount Adjustment. The Purchase Price will be subject to a dollar-for-dollar post-Closing downward or upward adjustment if and to the extent that the Adjustment Statement, as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(d), provides that the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount exceeds or is less than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses Amount. To the extent the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount exceeds the Estimated Transaction Expenses Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward. To the extent the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward.

(c) Closing Cash Amount Adjustment. The Purchase Price will be subject to a dollar-for-dollar post-Closing downward or upward adjustment if and to the extent that the Adjustment Statement, as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(d), provides that the Closing Cash Amount exceeds or is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Amount. To the extent the Closing Cash Amount exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward. To the extent the Closing Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward.

(d) Adjustment Statement.

(i) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, NovaBay shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a written statement (the “Adjustment Statement”) setting forth its good faith calculation of: (A) the Closing Indebtedness Amount; (B) the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount; and (C) the Closing Cash Amount, which statement shall include a worksheet setting forth in reasonable detail how each amount was calculated. The Adjustment Statement shall be unaudited and prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Full Year Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end. The parties agree that the purpose of determining the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the related adjustments contemplated by this Section 3.5 is to measure the accurate amount of the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount, and the Closing Cash Amount as provided herein, and such processes are not intended to introduce different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and that each shall be prepared or determined, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

- 6 -

(ii) The Adjustment Statement, including the amounts set forth therein, shall be deemed final, binding, and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement upon the parties on the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt thereof by the Sellers, unless the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, provide a written notice of disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) that is received by NovaBay by the end of such thirty (30) day period. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify (A) in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any disagreement so asserted, including each disputed item or amount and the basis for such disagreement; and (B) the amount that the Founders reasonably believe is the correct (1) Closing Indebtedness Amount; (2) Closing Transaction Expenses Amount; and (3) Closing Cash Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, MGP has no right to independently submit a Notice of Disagreement, and the Adjustment Statement as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.5(d) will be binding on any adjustment due to, or owed by, MGP, in accordance with Section 7.12.

(iii) During the thirty (30) day period immediately following NovaBay’s receipt of a Notice of Disagreement (or such longer period as may be agreed by NovaBay and the Founders) (the “Negotiation Period”), the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, and NovaBay shall seek in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in writing any differences they may have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement in order to determine the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount and/or the Closing Cash Amount. If, during the Negotiation Period, the Founders and NovaBay agree as to the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount and/or the Closing Cash Amount, then such agreed upon amounts, and the Adjustment Statement, as modified by such resolution in writing, shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive on the parties for purposes of this Agreement. If, during such period, the Founders and NovaBay are unable to reach agreement on all or any such items or amounts that were set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, then the items or amounts that remain in dispute as were set forth in the Notice of Disagreement (and only those matters) shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, which the parties shall engage within five (5) Business Days after the end of such period with such engagement being limited to the scope as set forth herein, and the Founders and NovaBay shall execute an acknowledgement specifying the items and matters that are no longer in dispute.

(iv) Within ten (10) days after the retention of the Accounting Firm, the Founders and NovaBay shall submit for review and resolution by the Accounting Firm any and all matters that were included in the Notice of Disagreement and remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall resolve and make a final determination of the values set forth on the Adjustment Statement, which determination shall be binding on the parties; provided, however, the scope of such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to: (A) those matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement; (B) whether such calculation was prepared in accordance with this Section 3.5(d) (including related definitions of defined terms used herein); and (C) whether there were mathematical errors in the Adjustment Statement. The Accounting Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any other determination. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to determine the remaining disputed items as provided above such that they are no less than the lowest amount claimed by either the Founders or NovaBay, and no greater than the highest amount claimed by either the Founders or NovaBay. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Accounting Firm shall act as an expert in accounting, and not as arbitrator, and is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to the accuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or as to compliance with any of the covenants in this Agreement (other than this Section 3.5(d)). The determinations of the Accounting Firm with respect to those matters that remained in dispute relating to the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expenses Amount and/or the Closing Cash Amount and the Adjustment Statement, as modified by the Accounting Firm’s determinations, shall be final, binding, and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement, absent Fraud, bad faith or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 3.5(d) shall be paid by the Sellers (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion), on the one hand, and by NovaBay, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Sellers or NovaBay, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Founders on behalf of the Sellers and NovaBay. For example, if the Founders challenge the Adjustment Statement by an amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), but the Accounting Firm determines that the Sellers have a valid claim for only Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000), the Sellers shall bear forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and NovaBay shall bear the other sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses.

- 7 -

(e) Payments. Payments required to be made by the Sellers, on the one hand, or NovaBay, on the other hand, pursuant to this Section 3.5 are due within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Adjustment Statement pursuant to this Section 3.5 and shall be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account or accounts to be designated by the party to receive the payments hereunder. If one or both of the Sellers fail to make any payment pursuant to this Section 3.5, NovaBay may, at its option, satisfy such payment due from the Escrow Amount by providing written notice to the Sellers and the Founders, and the Founders shall promptly following receipt of such notice execute such joint written instruction as provided under the Escrow Agreement in order to disburse such funds to NovaBay.

(f) Effect of Adjustments. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be treated as an adjustment by the parties to the Purchase Price as determined for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

3.6 Earn Out.

(a) Earn Out Payment. Subject to Section 3.6(c)(iv) and NovaBay’s right of setoff under Section 3.6(e), NovaBay shall pay additional contingent consideration to the Sellers to the extent earned after the Closing as set forth below (the “Earn Out”). The amount of each Earn Out payable by NovaBay for each Earn Out Period (each, an “Earn Out Payment”), if at all, shall be determined as follows:

(i) Year 1 Earn Out. The Sellers shall be entitled to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Earn Out Payment for the Year 1 Earn Out Period, provided that the Contribution Margin Threshold is equal to or exceeded, and subject to a maximum aggregate Earn Out Payment of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Maximum Earn Out Payment”) in the Year 1 Earn Out Period. The Earn Out Payment for the Year 1 Earn Out Period shall be determined by taking (A) the Contribution Margin achieved during the Year 1 Earn Out Period divided by the FY2022 Target Contribution Margin (the “FY2022 Contribution Margin Percentage”) multiplied by (B) the amount of the Maximum Earn Out Payment. The Sellers shall not be entitled to any Earn Out Payment in the applicable Year 1 Earn Out Period if the FY2022 Contribution Margin Percentage is below the Contribution Margin Threshold.

- 8 -

An example of an Earn Out Payment calculation for the Year 1 Earn Out Period is as follows: If DERMAdoctor achieves a Contribution Margin of [Redacted.] in the Year 1 Earn Out Period, then the Sellers shall be entitled to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the following aggregate amount:

[Redacted.] X $1,500,000 = [Redacted.]

(ii) Year 2 Earn Out. The Sellers shall be entitled to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Earn Out Payment for the Year 2 Earn Out Period provided that the Contribution Margin Threshold is equal to or exceeded, and subject to the Maximum Earn Out Payment in the Year 2 Earn Out Period. The Earn Out Payment for the Year 2 Earn Out Period shall be determined by taking (A) the sum of the Excess FY2022 Contribution Margin (provided, however, if the Excess FY2022 Contribution Margin is a negative number, the Excess FY2022 Contribution shall be equal to zero (0) for purposes of calculating the FY2023 Contribution Margin Percentage) and the Contribution Margin earned during the Year 2 Earn Out Period divided by the FY2023 Target Contribution Margin (the “FY2023 Contribution Margin Percentage”) multiplied by (B) the amount of the Maximum Earn Out Payment. The Sellers shall not be entitled to any Earn Out Payment in the applicable Year 2 Earn Out Period if the FY2023 Contribution Margin Percentage is below the Contribution Margin Threshold.

An example of an Earn Out Payment calculation for the Year 2 Earn Out Period is as follows: If DERMAdoctor achieves an Excess FY2022 Contribution Margin of [Redacted.] and a Contribution Margin of [Redacted.] in the Year 2 Earn Out Period, then the Sellers shall be entitled to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the following aggregate amount:

[Redacted.] X $1,500,000 = [Redacted.]

Neither the FY2022 Contribution Margin Percentage nor the FY 2023 Contribution Margin Percentage shall exceed 100%.

(b) Procedures Applicable to the Determination of an Earn Out Payment.

(i) Within thirty (30) days following the completion of and receipt by NovaBay of its annual audited consolidated financial statements, which shall include the statement of operations of DERMAdoctor for the applicable Earn Out Period or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, and NovaBay, NovaBay shall prepare in good faith and deliver to the Founders a written statement (each, an “Earn Out Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of the Contribution Margin for the applicable Earn Out Period and its calculation of the resulting Earn Out Payment, if any, for such applicable Earn Out Period (the “Earn Out Calculation”).

(ii) The Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of an Earn Out Calculation Statement (each, a “Review Period”) to review the Earn Out Calculation Statement and the Earn Out Calculation set forth therein. During the Review Period, the Founders shall have the right to access the applicable financial books and records of DERMAdoctor that relate to the Contribution Margin and the Earn Out Calculation during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of the Contribution Margin for the applicable Earn Out Period and the resulting Earn Out Payment. Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, may object to the Earn Out Calculation set forth in an Earn Out Calculation Statement for an Earn Out Period by delivering a written notice of objection to NovaBay, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for objection (an “Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice”). If the Founders fail to deliver an Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice to NovaBay prior to the expiration of a Review Period, then the Earn Out Calculation set forth in the Earn Out Calculation Statement on behalf of the Sellers shall be final and binding on the parties. If the Founders timely deliver an Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice, NovaBay and the Founders shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Contribution Margin for the applicable Earn Out Period and the Earn Out Payment for the applicable Earn Out Period. If NovaBay and the Founders are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after such an Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Accounting Firm, which shall be engaged within not more than five (5) Business Days of the end of such thirty (30) day period. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to determine the remaining disputed items as provided above such that they are no less than the lowest amount claimed by either the Founders or NovaBay, and no greater than the highest amount claimed by either the Founders or NovaBay. The Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the Earn Out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than thirty (30) days after such submission to the Accounting Firm, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Accounting Firm, NovaBay and the Founders shall each furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request. The Accounting Firm shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable terms in this Agreement and the presentations by NovaBay and the Founders, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, MGP has no right to independently submit a Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice, and any Earn Out Calculation Statement as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.6(b)(ii) will be binding on MGP as a Seller, in accordance with Section 7.12. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 3.6(b)(ii) shall be paid by the Sellers (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion), on the one hand, and by NovaBay, on the other hand, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.5(d)(iv).

In the absence of NovaBay receiving an Earn Out Stock Election Notice, then NovaBay shall make such Earn Out Payment to the Sellers all in cash.

NovaBay shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller(s)’ account the applicable portion of the Earn Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

The number of unregistered shares of NovaBay’s common stock that shall be issued shall be the number of shares equal to the applicable Earn Out Payment divided by the average closing stock price of NovaBay’s common stock on the prior ten (10) trading days before the date on which the Earn Out Calculation Statement is finally determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b).

- 11 -

(iv) Notwithstanding the above or anything else in this Section 3.6, it shall be a condition to the Sellers receiving their Pro Rata Portion of any Earn Out Payments payable for each Earn Out Period that both of the Founders must be employees of NovaBay, DERMAdoctor or their Affiliates throughout the entirety of each applicable Earn Out Period, or the Sellers automatically forfeit any applicable Earn Out Payment that may be payable to the Sellers for the applicable Earn Out Period; provided, however, to the extent the Earn Out Payment is earned in accordance with Section 3.6(a), if either of the Founders are terminated by NovaBay, DERMAdoctor or their Affiliates (A) pursuant to a Termination Without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement with such Founder) or (B) as a result of death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement with such Founder) of either Founder, then the amount of the applicable Earn Out Payment for the applicable Earn Out Period shall become due and payable in accordance with Section 3.6(c) hereof.

7.4 Sellers’ Post-Closing Confidentiality Obligation. From and after the Closing, the Sellers and the Founders shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable to, (a) hold in confidence and maintain the confidentiality of; (b) not use in any way that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to, or have an adverse effect on, NovaBay or DERMAdoctor; and (c) not divulge to any Person (other than their representatives) any proprietary or non-public information, whether written or oral, of NovaBay, DERMAdoctor, and the Business, except with the prior written consent of NovaBay or except as may reasonably be necessary (i) in connection with the performance, enforcement and/or defense of any indemnification obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) to perform or enforce any covenants under this Agreement, or except as may be required by Law; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to information that (x) otherwise becomes lawfully available to the Sellers, the Founders or their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not under an obligation of confidentiality to NovaBay or DERMAdoctor or (y) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement by the Sellers, the Founders or their respective Affiliates. If the Sellers, the Founders or any of their Affiliates are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process, Proceeding or by Law, then the Sellers or the Founders shall promptly notify NovaBay in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which the Sellers, the Founders or their Affiliates is legally required to be disclosed and the Sellers and the Founders shall reasonably cooperate with NovaBay’s or its Affiliates’ efforts, at NovaBay’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

7.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses related to the Contemplated Transactions, whether or not the Contemplated Transactions are consummated; provided, however that, at the Closing, the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses Amount shall be paid in accordance with Article 3. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, NovaBay, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall each equally split the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent.

7.6 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Post-Closing Tax Returns.

(i) The Sellers shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at the Sellers’ expense, all Tax Returns of DERMAdoctor for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods that report Flow-Through Income (each such Tax Return, a “Flow-Through Tax Return”). No later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof (taking into consideration applicable extensions), the Sellers shall provide NovaBay with drafts of all Flow-Through Tax Returns. NovaBay shall have the right to review and provide comments to any such Flow-Through Tax Returns during the twenty-five (25) day period following the receipt of such Flow-Through Tax Returns and the Sellers shall reflect any reasonable comments provided by NovaBay. To the extent such Flow-Through Tax Returns are required to be filed by DERMAdoctor, NovaBay shall timely file or cause to be filed all such Flow-Through Tax Returns, provided that to the extent any such Flow-Through Tax Returns reflect any Taxes due from DERMAdoctor, the Sellers shall pay to NovaBay any Taxes shown as due on such Flow-Through Tax Return at least five (5) days prior to the due date for such payment.

- 46 -

(ii) NovaBay shall prepare or cause to be prepared all federal, state, provincial, municipal, local and foreign returns, information statements, elections, designations, reports and any other filings related to Taxes with respect to DERMAdoctor, other than Flow-Through Tax Returns, for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are required to be filed after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Tax Returns”) on a consistent basis with past practice, including the taking of any deductions, so long as such past practice and deductions are made in accordance with applicable Law. NovaBay shall provide the Sellers with any income Tax returns to be filed for such periods prepared in respect of DERMAdoctor by NovaBay (“Post-Closing Income Tax Returns”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant filing due date (taking into consideration applicable extensions). The Sellers shall have the right to review and provide comments to any such Post-Closing Income Tax Returns during the twenty-five (25) day period following the receipt of such Post-Closing Income Tax Returns and NovaBay shall reflect any reasonable comments provided by the Sellers.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters. NovaBay and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Post-Closing Tax Returns pursuant to this section and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Proceeding and making their respective employees, independent contractors, outside consultants and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. NovaBay and the Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to DERMAdoctor relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other so requests, NovaBay or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other to take possession of such books and records originally intended to be transferred, destroyed or discarded.

(c) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (including any transfer or similar Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority) shall be shared equally between NovaBay on the one hand and the Sellers on the other, and each shall be responsible for one-half of such Taxes. The party required by Law to do so will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the other party will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

- 47 -

(d) 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 of DERMAdoctor for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of Taxes based upon or measured by income, receipts, gain, withholding, payroll, or any sale or assignment of property (including sales and use Taxes), be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 7.6(d), any franchise Taxes or other Taxes providing the right to do business shall be considered to relate to the Tax period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Taxes is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another Tax period is obtained by the payment of such Taxes.

(e) Tax Proceedings.

(i) NovaBay shall notify the Sellers or any Seller shall notify NovaBay in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt by such party of notice of any claim for Taxes, including notice of any Tax audits, examinations or assessments that could give rise to claim for indemnity (any such claim, a “Tax Claim”); provided, that the failure of a party to give notice to any other party shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the party that was supposed to receive notice is actually prejudiced thereby.

(ii) The Sellers shall have the right to control any audit, examination or Proceeding that relates to any Flow-Through Tax Returns; provided, that Sellers shall keep NovaBay reasonably informed as to the status of any such Tax Claim and if the resolution of such Tax Claim would reasonably be expected to have any Tax Liability on NovaBay or any of its respective Affiliates for any Tax period, then NovaBay shall be entitled to the extent permitted by Law to participate in Proceedings relating to any such Tax Claim at its own expense (each, a “NovaBay Participating Claim”). The Sellers shall not settle or otherwise compromise any NovaBay Participating Claim without NovaBay’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (A) if NovaBay determines there is a material risk that NovaBay will not be able to collect from the Sellers the amount of any Tax (plus applicable interest and penalties and other Losses) that may, in the event of any adverse resolution of the audit, examination or Proceeding, be owing and be payable by NovaBay or DERMAdoctor, or (B) if in the reasonable judgment of NovaBay, the Sellers have ceased diligently to defend against any adjustment in Tax proposed in any such audit, examination or Proceeding and such examination or Proceeding could result in Tax for which NovaBay or an Affiliate is liable, then in any such case, NovaBay shall have the right to take control of any such audit, examination or Proceeding.

- 48 -

(iii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, NovaBay shall control the defense and settlement of the Tax Claim, but (A) NovaBay shall keep Sellers reasonably informed as to the status of such Tax Claim and (B) if the resolution of such Tax Claim would reasonably be expected to result in any Tax for which the Sellers are liable hereunder, then (1) the Sellers shall be entitled to participate in any Proceeding relating to such Tax Claim at Sellers’ own expense; and (2) NovaBay shall not settle or otherwise compromise such Tax Claim without the Sellers’ written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements; Push Out Elections. The Sellers shall cause all Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements and all powers of attorney with respect to or involving DERMAdoctor to be terminated prior to the Closing such that, after the Closing, none of DERMAdoctor or NovaBay will be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder. In the case of a partnership audit of DERMAdoctor, unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by NovaBay and the Sellers, DERMAdoctor will make the so-called “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code (and under any similar provision of state or local Law).

(g) Purchase Price Allocation. The parties agree that the Purchase Price (along with all other items of consideration for Tax purposes, and including any adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder) shall be allocated for Federal and state income Tax purposes in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 7.6(g) of the Disclosure Schedules, which is intended to be in accordance with Code Sections 743, 751, 755, and 1060, as applicable, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provisions of applicable Tax Law). Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expense Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the Adjustment Statement are finally determined under Section 3.5, NovaBay shall deliver to the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, a statement (the “Proposed Tax Allocation Statement”), allocating the final Purchase Price (as determined for federal income Tax purposes) among the assets of DERMAdoctor, which Proposed Tax Allocation Statement shall be consistent with the methodology set forth on Schedule 7.6(g) of the Disclosure Schedules. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Proposed Tax Allocation Statement, the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, notify NovaBay in writing that the Sellers object to the allocation set forth in the Proposed Tax Allocation Statement, NovaBay and the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If NovaBay and the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after NovaBay’s notification of dispute, then the parties shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of the Accounting Firm shall be final; provided that in resolving such dispute, the Accounting Firm shall apply the methodology set forth on Schedule 7.6(g) of the Disclosure Schedules. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 7.6(g) shall be paid by the Sellers (based on Seller’s Pro Rata Portion), on the one hand, and by NovaBay, on the other hand, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.5(d)(iv). NovaBay, the Sellers and, if applicable, DERMAdoctor and the Founders shall file all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, consistent with the Tax Allocation Statement as finally determined pursuant to this Section 7.6. NovaBay, the Sellers and the Founders shall not take any position for Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by a final determination defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

- 49 -

(h) Tax Proceedings. The parties will keep each other informed as to matters related to any Proceedings involving Taxes for which indemnification may be sought hereunder, including any settlement negotiations. Refunds of Tax (net of any Tax costs incurred or accrued on account of the receipt of such refund and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such receipt) relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be the property of the Sellers, but only to the extent that such refunds are not attributable to (i) net operating loss or other carrybacks from periods ending after the Closing Date; or (ii) refund claims that are initiated by NovaBay (provided, that NovaBay gives the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, prior notice of such possible claim and the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, decline to pursue such refund at their own expense); provided, however, that NovaBay shall in no event have an obligation to file or cause to be filed a claim for refund with respect to any Taxes relating to any period. All other refunds of Tax are the property of NovaBay.

7.7 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation of Employees.

(a) Non-Competition. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), none of (i) the Founders and Papillon, shall, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, independent contractor, member, stockholder, partner or in any other capacity whatsoever (except as permitted herein), and (ii) MGP, and its general partner (collectively, the “MGP Parties”) shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any Competitive Business Activities without the prior written consent of NovaBay. The foregoing shall not prevent Papillon, the MGP Parties and the Founders (collectively) from owning for investment purposes up to 5% of the outstanding securities of a publicly traded company engaged in a Competitive Business Activity.

(b) Non-Solicitation. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, the Founders, Papillon and the MGP Parties shall not (for their own benefit or for the benefit of any Person other than NovaBay or DERMAdoctor) solicit, or assist any Person (other than NovaBay or DERMAdoctor) to solicit, any officer, director, executive or employee of NovaBay or DERMAdoctor to leave his or her employment; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit Papillon, the Founders and the MGP Parties from soliciting any such Person through a general advertisement not targeted at officers, directors, executives or employees of NovaBay or DERMAdoctor and hiring any Person who responds to any such general advertisement.

(c) Contact with Affiliates. During the Non-Competition Period, the Founders, Papillon and the MGP Parties shall not, either individually for himself, herself or itself, or for the benefit of any other Person, either as employee, consultant, investor or in any other capacity whatsoever, contact any Person that has manufactured, supplied, distributed, resold, licensed or purchased products or services from DERMAdoctor or otherwise provided services or materials to DERMAdoctor at any time within two (2) years prior to the Closing Date or any Person that DERMAdoctor was actively soliciting as of the Closing Date for the purpose of selling any products or services other than by NovaBay or DERMAdoctor or supplying materials, products or services that constitute a Competitive Business Activity.

(d) Acknowledgement. The Founders, Papillon and MGP, on behalf of itself and the other MGP Parties, hereby acknowledge that (i) the markets served by NovaBay are not limited geographically; (ii) the length of the restrictions in, and the scope of, this Section 7.7 were negotiated in the context of the Contemplated Transactions; (iii) they will receive all of the consideration payable hereunder; and (iv) the covenants in this Section 7.7 are manifestly reasonable on their face and have been designed to be reasonable and no greater than is required for the protection of NovaBay. MGP has the authority to bind or otherwise has obtained the consent and agreement of the MGP Parties that are not a party to this Agreement to be bound by each of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.7.

- 50 -

(e) Specific Performance. The Founders, Papillon and MGP, on behalf of itself and the other MGP Parties, each agree that NovaBay’s remedies at Law for any breach or threat of breach by them of any of the provisions of this Section 7.7 will be inadequate and that NovaBay shall be entitled to seek an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 7.7 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which NovaBay may be entitled at Law or equity.

7.8 Release.

(a) Effective upon the Closing, the Founders, Papillon and MGP, on each of their own behalf and their respective owners, Affiliates, heirs, successors, trustees, executors, administrators, assigns and any other Person that may claim by, through or under the Founders, Papillon and MGP (or any other MGP Parties) (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby:

(i) irrevocably waive, release, acquit and forever discharge DERMAdoctor and each of its present and former officers, members, managers, and employees and successors (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all Liabilities, claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with DERMAdoctor or any Releasees of any kind or nature whatsoever, in all cases since the beginning of time through the Closing Date; and

(ii) agree that they shall not, and they shall cause the other Seller Releasing Parties not to, (A) bring or voluntarily participate in or assist any Proceeding that is based upon, arises out of or otherwise relates to any matter released pursuant to this Section 7.8(a); (B) participate, assist or cooperate in any such Proceeding; or (C) encourage, assist and/or solicit any other Person to institute any such Proceeding.

(b) Under this Section 7.8, the Releasing Parties do not waive or release:

(i) any rights in favor of the Releasing Parties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;

(ii) rights to any unpaid employment compensation due in the ordinary course from DERMAdoctor for the performance of services in the ordinary course, workers compensation rights and any other employment rights not subject to waiver under Law; or

(iii) rights to reimbursement for expenses incurred by such Releasing Party in the ordinary course of business during the 60 day period before the Closing Date.

- 51 -

(c) The Releasing Parties understand and agree that the releases provided in this Section 7.8 extend to all claims released above whether known or unknown or suspected or unsuspected. The Releasing Parties acknowledge that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER OR ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER OR IT MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER OR ITS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” The Releasing Parties acknowledge that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, the Releasing Parties agree that, effective as of the Closing Date, the Releasing Parties shall waive any such provision. Accordingly, in furtherance of such intention, the Releasing Parties shall be and remain in effect as full and complete releases of such matters notwithstanding the discovery of any additional claims or facts relating thereto. Each of the Founders, Papillon and MGP have the authority to bind or have otherwise obtained the consent and agreement of the Releasing Parties that are not a party to this Agreement to be bound by each of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.8.

7.9 Efforts to Consummate; Consents. The parties hereto shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken all appropriate action, and make, or cause to be made, all filings necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions including satisfaction but not waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 8. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, submit and/or obtain all notices, assignments, waivers, permits, consents, qualifications and Orders as are necessary for consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and to fulfill the conditions to the Contemplated Transactions set forth in Article 8, provided that in connection therewith the parties shall cooperate in good faith to reduce and/or mitigate the amount of out of pocket costs or expenses incurred by a party. All costs incurred in connection with obtaining such permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and Orders, including attorneys’ fees, shall be borne by the respective party that incurs such fees.

7.10 Notification of Certain Matters; Supplements to Schedules.

(a) Notification of Certain Matters.

(i) DERMAdoctor, the Founders and the Sellers shall promptly notify NovaBay of (A) any material actions, suits, claims or Proceedings in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or, to the Knowledge of such applicable party, threatened, against DERMAdoctor, the Founders and the Sellers, as the case may be; or (B) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any fact or event which would be reasonably likely to cause any condition set forth in Article 8 not to be satisfied; or (C) any written notice from a Governmental Authority that will adversely impact or delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; or (D) to the Knowledge of such applicable party, any fact or circumstance or event that (1) would cause any of its representations or warranties to no longer be true and correct in any material respects or (2) would result in a material breach of any agreement or covenant hereunder. NovaBay’s receipt of this information shall not act as a waiver or otherwise effect any obligation of a party under this Agreement, including the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder.

If either party notifies the other party in writing that the information disclosure in an Updated Disclosure Schedule would cause the Closing conditions set forth in Article 8 not to be satisfied, and nonetheless the notified party proceeds with the Closing, then the information contained in such Updated Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an amendment of the notifying party’s representation or warranty to which it relates, and shall cure any breach of the representations and warranties, for purposes of Article 8 of this Agreement, but expressly not for purposes of indemnification under Article 10 with respect to such matter, provided, however, that if NovaBay has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such Updated Disclosure Schedule, then NovaBay shall be deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement for purposes of Article 8 of this Agreement, but NovaBay expressly does not waive any of its rights to indemnification under Article 10 with respect to such matter.

The Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Founders as the Sellers’ agent and attorney-in-fact to act on their behalf in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions, and further agree that the actions of either Founder may serve as an action speaking for both Founders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Founders shall have full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller and their successors and assigns, to: (i) negotiate, execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, instructions, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the Agreement, other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) give and receive notices and communications and receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or other Transaction Documents; (iii) agree to, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of, assume the defense of claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in his or her judgment for the accomplishment of the foregoing; (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in his or her judgment on behalf of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the issuance, execution and delivery of all notices and instructions to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Sellers as contemplated therein; (v) accept, negotiate, dispute, make any determinations or settle any matters in connection with the determination of the Purchase Price, including any adjustments to the Purchase Price or matters relating to the Earn Out Payments; and (vi) deduct, hold back and/or redirect any funds, including, without limitation, the Escrow Amount or other Transaction Documents, which is payable to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Reliance on the Founders. NovaBay shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions, actions (or inaction), notices and/or decisions given or made by one or both of the Founders as to any of the matters described in this Section 7.12 or otherwise provided in this Agreement, and no party shall have any cause of action against NovaBay for any action taken by NovaBay in reliance upon any such instructions, actions (or inaction), notices and/or decisions given by one or both of the Founders.

7.13 Business Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Prior to Closing, Papillon and the Founders shall cause all of the registered Business Intellectual Property Rights and Material Unregistered Business Intellectual Property Rights, owned by Papillon or the Founders (if any), as set forth in the IP Assignment Agreement (the “Transferred Business IP”) to be assigned, transferred and/or conveyed (to the extent such Transferred Business IP can be assigned, transferred and/or conveyed) to DERMAdoctor (“Business IP Transfer”). As a result of the Business IP Transfer, each Seller and Founder shall provide DERMAdoctor with the sole and absolute right, title and interest, including goodwill, in and to all of the Transferred Business IP, free and clear of all Liens. The Sellers and the Founders agree to execute any instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance as may be necessary post-Closing and reasonably requested by NovaBay in order to cause the Business IP Transfer as contemplated by this Section 7.13.

- 54 -

(b) In connection with the Business IP Transfer, and subject to Section 7.13(c) or an Animal Testing Termination, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Papillon, as applicable, hereby grant to NovaBay, effective upon the Closing Date, an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, copy, display, perform, distribute and otherwise commercially use, in any manner and in any medium now known or hereinafter devised or created (including by creating or having created media in which ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights are embodied for use in connection with the marketing or distribution of the Business Products), the ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights in connection with the Business and any and all Business Products (including any future products and service offerings that are in research and development) as currently conducted or Contemplated to be Conducted; provided, however, that the license granted herein may be revoked and terminated, upon written notice sent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or Papillon, as applicable, in the event that DERMAdoctor, NovaBay or any of their Affiliates, transferees, licensees, representatives, agents or successors (including any successor upon a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, stock sale or asset sale of DERMAdoctor and/or NovaBay) at any time after the Closing (i) knowingly uses animal testing and/or animal studies in, or knowingly engages any Person to provide animal testing and/or animal study services for, developing, producing, marketing and/or selling any Business Products (including any Business Products developed after the Closing) that incorporate, reference, refer to, or otherwise use the ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights, or (ii) knowingly sells, markets and/or distributes any Business Products (including any Business Products developed after the Closing) that incorporate, reference, refer to, or otherwise use the ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights in any new jurisdiction that requires animal testing and/or animal studies in order to sell, market and/or distribute the Business Products in such jurisdiction (such termination right of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Papillon, the “Animal Testing Termination”). For the avoidance of doubt, DERMAdoctor warrants and represents that it does not use any animal testing for its Business Products. As used in this Section 7.13(b), “Contemplated to be Conducted” means (i) as currently contemplated by DERMAdoctor or (ii) as contemplated by DERMAdoctor during ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ future employment or engagement with DERMAdoctor, in connection with the development, design, research and development, marketing and sale of the Business Products or other Business activities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Papillon, as applicable, agree that as a result of the foregoing license grant to NovaBay, other than as set forth in Section 7.13(c), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Papillon, as applicable, shall have no right to, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Papillon, as applicable, shall not, directly use, copy, display, perform, distribute or otherwise commercially use any ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights, or authorize any other Person to use, copy, display, perform, distribute or otherwise commercially use any ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights in connection with (a) a business that competes directly or indirectly with the Business or (b) any new venture in the skin care, cosmetics, dermatology or medical treatment to address dermatological conditions (such as referring to herself as the “founder of DERMAdoctor” in connection with such venture).

- 55 -

(c) This Section 7.13 shall not bar ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ from (i) using her name in connection with professional services she may render as a doctor in geographic locales where she is licensed to perform such services, so long as such use is not likely to cause confusion with the Business and (ii) referring to herself as the “founder of DERMAdoctor” so long as such reference is only used in connection with her employment with DERMAdoctor, NovaBay or their Affiliates following Closing and unrelated to a venture that competes with the Business.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any of NovaBay’s or DERMAdoctor’s rights granted under this Agreement, NovaBay shall only be permitted to assign or cause to be assigned its exclusive license to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Publicity Rights to an Affiliate or its designee or successor without further consent from any party, only as part of a sale or change of control, regardless of whether such a sale or change of control occurs through an asset sale, stock sale, merger or other business combination of: (i) DERMAdoctor’s (or NovaBay’s, as applicable) entire or substantially all of its business; or (ii) that part of DERMAdoctor’s (or NovaBay’s, as applicable) business that is subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the license granted in Section 7.13(a) may be terminated as set forth in Section 7.13(b), by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or Papillon, as applicable, in connection with an Animal Testing Termination.

7.14 Waiver of Rights of Papillon and MGP. The Sellers and DERMAdoctor have taken all necessary action to irrevocably waive any and all rights, obligations and/or restrictions under the Original Operating Agreement or other Contract, if any, that would serve to contradict, prevent or delay the purpose of this Agreement and/or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including such rights and restrictions as rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, member transfer restrictions or right of DERMAdoctor to refuse a transfer. MGP acknowledges and agrees that (a) the sale of the Membership Units as contemplated by this Agreement and the Closing of the Contemplated Transactions qualifies as an Approved Sale (as defined in the Original Operating Agreement) and (b) the consideration contemplated to be received pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for its Membership Units, including, without limitation, whether Earn Out Payments become payable, will fully satisfy its Put Price (as defined in the Original Operating Agreement) and it will have no further rights to any additional payment or other consideration.

7.15 Change of Control Payments. The Founders and Papillon acknowledge and covenant that Papillon is and shall continue to be solely responsible for all payments to be made and all other Liabilities under the Sales Proceeds Sharing Agreements, dated January 1, 2016, between Papillon and each of the Change of Control Payees, including the Change of Control Payments and any related payment and/or withholding of Taxes, and that neither DERMAdoctor nor NovaBay shall have any obligation or responsibility for any payments or any other Liability thereunder. Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, Papillon shall, and the Founders shall cause Papillon to, (a) pay the Change of Control Payments to the Change of Control Payees in accordance with the Sales Proceeds Sharing Agreements referenced above and (b) deliver written notice to NovaBay certifying that the Change of Control Payments to the Change of Control Payees have been made.

(a) Absence of Orders; No Proceedings.

8.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of the Sellers, the Founders, DERMAdoctor or NovaBay may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article 8 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s own failure to act in good faith or such party’s own failure to use its reasonable best effort to cause the Closing to occur as provided herein.

8.5 Operating Agreement. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that at Closing, the operating agreement, as amended, of DERMAdoctor as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (the “Original Operating Agreement”) will be amended and restated, and superseded in its entirety, by a new amended and restated operating agreement that will govern DERMAdoctor after the Closing. Upon the Closing, without any further action on the part of any of the Sellers, all provisions of the Original Operating Agreement, including the provisions, if any, that would, or purport to, survive any termination of the Original Operating Agreement, will hereby terminate and be of no further force and effect, and each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Seller will not be entitled to, and none of NovaBay or DERMAdoctor will be obligated to make or have Liability for, any further distributions (Tax or otherwise) from DERMAdoctor at or after the Closing.

If the terminating party are the Sellers and/or Founders pursuant to Section 9.1(c), then NovaBay shall pay to each Seller their Pro Rata Portion of the Termination Fee. If the terminating party is NovaBay pursuant to Section 9.1(b), then the Sellers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay NovaBay the full amount of the Termination Fee.

Article 10
Survival; Indemnification; Escrow; Holdback

10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) Except for the Surviving Representations, the representations and warranties of the Sellers, the Founders and DERMAdoctor, on the one hand, and NovaBay, on the other hand, in this Agreement shall remain effective until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”). After the expiration of such period, such representations and warranties shall expire and be of no further force and effect except to the extent that a claim(s) shall have been asserted and notice thereof provided by NovaBay or the Founders on behalf of the Sellers, as the case may be, with respect thereto on or before the expiration of such period; provided however, that, notwithstanding any statute of limitations, the representations and warranties of DERMAdoctor in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Power), 4.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), 4.3(a), (b) and (e) (No Violation), 4.8 (Indebtedness), 4.10 (Structure), 4.11 (Title to Membership Units), 4.37 (No Broker), and the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Founders in Sections 5.1 (Organization and Power—Papillon), 5.2 (Organization and Power—MGP), 5.3 (Authorization and Enforceability), 5.4 (No Violation), 5.8 (Title to Membership Units), 5.9 (Structure) and 5.11 (No Broker) (collectively, the “Surviving Representations”) shall survive the Survival Date and claims for indemnification based on breaches of such representations and warranties shall survive until the seven (7) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

- 61 -

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the covenants contained in this Agreement, including the covenants contained in Article 7, shall survive Closing until performed, unless a shorter period of survival is specifically set forth in this Agreement.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) By NovaBay.

(i) Subject to Section 10.2(g), (h) and (i), NovaBay shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers, the Founders and their Affiliates, respective agents, representatives, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses and Proceedings that may be sustained, suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees, and that arise out of, result from or relate to (A) any inaccuracy or breach by NovaBay of its representations and warranties; (B) any breach or non-fulfillment by NovaBay of its covenants in this Agreement; and (C) any Liabilities of DERMAdoctor arising from actions or events taken following the Closing.

(b) By the Sellers and the Founders.

(i) Subject to Sections 10.2(e), 10.2(f), 10.2(h), 10.2(i) and 10.3, the Sellers shall severally, and pursuant to Section 10.2(l), the Founders with respect to Papillon shall jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless NovaBay and DERMAdoctor and their respective Affiliates, and their officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (“NovaBay Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses and Proceedings that may be sustained, suffered or incurred by NovaBay Indemnitees and that arise out of, result from or relate to (A) any inaccuracy or breach by the Sellers, the Founders or DERMAdoctor of their respective representations and warranties (as such representation or warranty would read disregarding any reference to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect”, “Material Adverse Change” or other similar qualification or limitation with respect to determining the amounts of Losses arising from or relating to any such misrepresentation or inaccuracy and for determining whether or not any misrepresentation or inaccuracy has occurred) in this Agreement (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules); (B) any breach or non-fulfillment by the Sellers or the Founders of covenants and obligations in or under this Agreement, or breach or non-fulfillment by DERMAdoctor of any covenants and obligations including, but not limited to, the Sellers’, the Founders’ and DERMAdoctor’s obligations pursuant to Article 7; (C) Taxes as provided in paragraph (ii) of this Section 10.2(b); (D) Closing Indebtedness Amount, Transaction Expenses or Closing Cash Amount, to the extent that the actual amount of Indebtedness and/or Transaction Expenses exceeds the Closing Indebtedness Amount and Closing Transaction Expense Amount, and/or DERMAdoctor Cash is less than the Closing Cash Amount, as finally determined herein; (E) any claim or threatened claim or Proceeding by such Seller, Founder or any other actual or purported beneficial owner of DERMAdoctor relating to any alleged action or failure to act on its behalf by DERMAdoctor, including (1) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Contemplated Transactions, (2) relating to any purported ownership of DERMAdoctor or any amounts that are alleged to be payable or owed or (3) alleging or based upon violations of fiduciary duty in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (including those relating to the allocation of the Purchase Price).

- 62 -

(ii) The obligations of the Sellers and the Founders under paragraph (i) of this Section 10.2(b) shall extend to all Taxes with respect to all pre-Closing Tax Periods and to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. Such obligations of the Sellers and the Founders shall be without regard to whether there was any breach of any representation or warranty under Article 4 or Article 5 with respect to such Tax or any disclosures that may have been made with respect to Article 4, Article 5 or otherwise. The indemnification obligations under this paragraph (ii) shall apply even if additional Tax Liability results from the filing of a return or amended return with respect to a pre-Closing Date transaction or pre-Closing period (or portion of a period) by NovaBay as permitted by this Agreement and shall survive sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including any extensions) for the imposition of any Tax. In the case of any dispute relating to Liability for Tax, the provision of Section 7.6, rather than Section 10.2(c), shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of applying Section 10.2(f)(i)(A), a claim relating to Tax shall be treated as indemnifiable under this paragraph (ii) rather than as a result of a breach of representation or warranty if it is indemnifiable as both a breach and under this paragraph (ii).

(c) Procedure for Third-Party Claims. If any Third-Party Claims shall be commenced, or any claim or demand shall be asserted (other than audits or contests with Taxing Authorities relating to Taxes), in respect of which the Indemnified Party proposes to demand indemnification by the Indemnifying Party under Sections 10.2(a) or 10.2(b), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such demand, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount of such claim, if estimable, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the entire control of the defense, compromise or settlement thereof (including the selection of counsel), subject to the right of the Indemnified Party to participate (with counsel of its choice, but the fees and expenses of such additional counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party); provided, that the Indemnified Party need not allow the Indemnifying Party to assume control if: (i) counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined in good faith that the assumption of such defense by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to a non waivable conflict of interest; (ii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, allegation or other claim against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves those customers or suppliers set forth on Schedules 4.19(a) or 4.19(b) of the Disclosure Schedules; (iv) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable remedy or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; (v) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes there are legal defenses available to it that are different from, or additional to, those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (vi) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Loss relating to the claim is reasonably likely to exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to receive from the Indemnifying Party under the applicable provisions of this Article 10. If the Indemnifying Party elects to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim, such election shall constitute the Indemnifying Party’s agreement that the matters which are subject to the Third-Party Claim are subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the following shall apply: (A) such settlement provides the Indemnified Party with a complete and unconditional release from such Third-Party Claim; (B) the sole relief provided in such settlement is monetary damages that are satisfied in full or assumed by the Indemnifying Party; and (C) such settlement does not include any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance (including access to employees) and books, records and other materials as may be reasonably requested.

- 63 -

(d) Procedure for Direct Claims. Any Direct Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party (each a “Direct Claim Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount of such claim, if estimable. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) Business Days from the date of receipt (the “Direct Claim Notice Period”) within which to respond to a Direct Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond in writing within the Direct Claim Notice Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the claimed indemnification and shall have no further right to contest the validity of that claim. If the Indemnifying Party does respond in writing within the Direct Claim Notice Period, and rejects the claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue all remedies under this Agreement. To the extent that any NovaBay Indemnitees prevail in a Direct Claim (or the Sellers concede, or otherwise do not timely respond to a Direct Claim Notice made by NovaBay), then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Direct Claim shall be first satisfied from an offset against the Escrow Amount, then if the Direct Claim exceeds the Escrow Amount, then the remainder of such Direct Claim, may be, at NovaBay’s option, satisfied by any earned Year 1 Earn Out and/or Year 2 Earn Out; for the avoidance of doubt, NovaBay may alternatively opt to pursue indemnification from the Sellers and the Founders directly subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Sellers and the Founders shall be and remain liable for the amount of such excess of the Direct Claim once the Escrow Amount is exhausted.

(e) Calculation of Amount of Claims and Losses. The amount of any claims or Losses subject to indemnification under Section 10.2(b) shall be calculated net of any actual cash amounts recovered by NovaBay or its Affiliates (including DERMAdoctor after the Closing) under applicable insurance policies held by NovaBay or its Affiliates.

(f) Limitations on Rights of NovaBay Indemnitees.

(i) Subject to Section 10.2(f)(ii):

- 64 -

(A) the rights of NovaBay Indemnitees to indemnification by the Sellers and the Founders for breaches of representations and warranties (but not breaches of covenants) hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that NovaBay Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to a claim or claims of breach of representation and warranty as provided in Section 10.2(b)(i)(A), unless the aggregate amount of all such claims exceeds Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event the indemnity provided for in this Section 10.2 shall be effective with respect to the amount of such claims in excess of the Deductible; and

(B) the Sellers’ and the Founders’ Liability to the NovaBay Indemnitees shall be limited to One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000).

(ii) The limitations in Section 10.2(f)(i) shall not apply to the Non-Threshold Indemnifications as hereinafter defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Threshold Indemnifications” shall mean and refer collectively to indemnification Liabilities of the Sellers and the Founders pursuant to claims based upon (A) the indemnification Liabilities of the Sellers and the Founders pursuant to any of the Surviving Representations or clauses (B), (C), (D) or (E) of Section 10.2(b)(i); (B) claims based on Fraud on the part of the Sellers, the Founders or DERMAdoctor or their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives and trustees; or (C) claims for Taxes. The Sellers’ and the Founders’ aggregate maximum Liability for all indemnification claims under Sections 10.2(f)(i) and 10.2(f)(ii) shall not exceed the Cash Consideration.

(iii) Except in the case of Fraud or indemnification Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i)(B), in no event shall any Seller have any obligation to indemnify the NovaBay Indemnitees against, or reimburse any NovaBay Indemnitees for, any Losses pursuant to this Agreement in an aggregate amount in excess of such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Cash Consideration.

(h) Limitation on Rights Against DERMAdoctor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, NovaBay, the Sellers and the Founders acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, they shall have no right to make a claim against DERMAdoctor pursuant to this Article 10.

(i) Limitations on Remedies. No party hereto shall be liable to the other for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages claimed by such other party resulting from such first party’s breach of its obligations, agreements, representations or warranties hereunder, provided, that nothing hereunder shall preclude any recovery by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party for Third-Party Claims.

(j) Subrogation. Except to the extent of any insurance policy which includes a waiver of subrogation, upon making an indemnity payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the damages to which the payment related. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

(k) Adjustment to Purchase Price. All indemnity payments made pursuant to this Article 10 or otherwise shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price as determined for Tax purposes.

(l) Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Founders hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally personally guarantee the performance of all of the indemnification obligations of Papillon and the Founders contained in this Agreement. After the Escrow Amount is exhausted, the Founders agree that NovaBay is entitled to pursue any remaining indemnification amount due to NovaBay by Papillon pursuant to this Section 10.2 against the Founders personally pursuant to the foregoing guarantee.

(m) No Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to duplicate recovery of any Losses for the same event when the facts and circumstances resulting in such Losses from the same event constitute a breach or inaccuracy of more than one representation and warranty and/or give rise to indemnification under more than one of the provisions hereunder or to the extent such Losses were already included in any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.5.

(n) Duty to Mitigate. An Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of any matter for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, provided that any such mitigation does not adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

The right to indemnification or other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition to the obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant or obligation, shall not affect any right to indemnification or other remedies based on such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation otherwise provided in this Agreement.

10.4 Escrow Release Procedures. Pursuant to Article 3, at the Closing, NovaBay shall utilize the Escrow Amount to secure the Sellers’ and the Founders’ indemnification obligations under this Article 10. The first recourse of the NovaBay Indemnitees in respect of breach of representations, warranties and covenants shall be to offset such claims against the Escrow Amount at the time such a claim is asserted. If NovaBay and the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, agree (or are deemed to have agreed) that the NovaBay Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification hereunder and some portion of the claimed amount is due to the NovaBay Indemnitees, then, within five (5) Business Days following such agreement (or deemed agreement): (a) NovaBay and the Founders, on behalf of the Sellers, shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the agreed amount to the NovaBay Indemnitees from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and (b) if the Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover the full agreed amount, then, the Sellers (or the Founders pursuant to Section 10.2(l)) shall pay the amount of such shortfall to the NovaBay Indemnitees, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10. After expiration of the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing and upon instruction of NovaBay and the Founders on behalf of the Sellers, the Escrow Agent shall return to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, any remaining portion of the Escrow Amount; provided, however, if there are any initiated or outstanding indemnification claims from a NovaBay Indemnitee as provided in this Article 10 on or prior to such twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing, then such remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, shall remain with the Escrow Agent and be disbursed to the Sellers only to the extent that there remains any available funds in the Escrow Amount after resolution of the remaining indemnification claims in accordance with this Article 10 and the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
