3. Inventory Count. Each of the Purchasers and Agent hereby waives the requirement that the Inventory Count be taken and completed on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Closing as set forth in the first sentence of Section 1.9 of the Product Purchase Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that the Inventory Count occurred on December 14, 2016; provided, however, that this waiver shall in no way relieve Sellers and Purchaser of their respective obligations to deliver the Inventory Acknowledgement at the Closing in accordance with the second sentence of Section 1.9 of the Product Purchase Agreement.
4. Amendment to Section 1.9. Section 1.9 of the Product Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence at the end of Section 1.9:

(ii) the Upward Adjustment Amount, as provided in Section 1.13(c)(iii) (or, if applicable, minus the Downward Adjustment Amount, as provided in Section 1.13(c)(ii)), provided that such Downward Adjustment Amount, if any, is not included in the Equity Consideration Reduction, if any);”.
6. Amendment to Section 1.13. Section 1.13 of the Product Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Section 1.13. Purchase Price Adjustments.
(a) Intentionally Omitted.
(b) Post-Closing Determination.
(i) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than seventy five (75) days after the Closing Date, Purchasers shall deliver to Agent: (A) a statement of specified assets and liabilities of Sellers as of the close of business on the Closing Date, prepared using the methodology set forth in Schedule 1.13(a)(i) and, to the extent not inconsistent with such methodology, in accordance with GAAP, and containing the line items referenced in such Schedule 1.13(a)(i) (the “Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities”);
| -3- |
(B) a statement in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1.13(a)(ii) (the “Closing Statement”), prepared using the methodology set forth in Schedule 1.13(a)(i) and, to the extent not inconsistent with such methodology, in accordance with GAAP, setting forth Purchasers’ calculation, based on the Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities, of (1) the amount of Accounts Receivable (the “Closing Accounts Receivable Amount”), including therein, without duplication, Purchasers’ calculation of the Reserves Provision and Rebates and Chargebacks Allowance, (2) the amount of Inventory, but only counting the Inventory in the Updated Inventory Count that meets the conditions set forth in Section 7.24 and that does not have an expiration date within three hundred sixty five (365) calendar days of the Inventory Count (the “Closing Inventory Amount”), (3) the amount of Prepaid Assets (the “Closing Prepaid Assets Amount”), (4) the amount of Trade Payables (the “Closing Trade Payables Amount”), (5) the amount of Accrued Expenses (the “Closing Accrued Expenses Amount”), (6) the aggregate amount of any Indebtedness (the “Closing Indebtedness Amount”) and (7) the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expense Amount”), in each case, calculated as of the close of business on the Closing Date, with reasonable supporting detail, and (C) a calculation of the Closing Sum, based on the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement.
(ii) If Agent disagrees with the calculation of the Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities, the Closing Statement, the Closing Accounts Receivable Amount, including the computation of the Reserves Provision and Rebates and Chargebacks Allowance taken into account in determining the Closing Accounts Receivable Amount, the Closing Inventory Amount, the Closing Prepaid Assets Amount, the Closing Trade Payables Amount, the Closing Accrued Expenses Amount, the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expense Amount or the Closing Sum (collectively, the “Closing Calculations”), Agent may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities and the Closing Statement, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Purchasers setting forth Agent’s objections in reasonable detail, and Agent’s Closing Calculations, or such portion of the Closing Calculations to which Agent objects, as applicable, with reasonable supporting detail; provided, that the nature of the objections shall only be based on mathematical errors or on the Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with Section 1.13(b)(i). Any amounts in the Closing Calculations not specifically objected to by Agent in an Objection Notice delivered to Purchasers on or prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above shall be deemed accepted and shall be final and binding on Sellers and Agent. If Agent delivers an Objection Notice on or prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above, Purchasers and Agent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements as to the Closing Calculations, but if there is no final resolution with respect to any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”) within fifteen (15) days after Purchasers have received the Objection Notice, Purchasers and Agent shall promptly (and in no event more than five (5) days after written request by Purchasers or Agent, as the case may be) retain ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or, if that firm is
| -4- |
unable or unwilling to so serve, another nationally recognized, independent accounting firm that is independent of Sellers, Members, Purchasers and Parent and that is reasonably acceptable to Purchasers and Agent (the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve any disagreements relating only to the Disputed Amounts, which, in the absence of subsequent written agreement by Purchasers and Agent, shall be the exclusive means of resolving such items in dispute.
(iii) The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) to determine, based solely on presentations by Purchasers and Agent and the supporting documentation referred to below in this Section 1.13(b)(iii), and not by independent review, only the Disputed Amounts and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Calculations to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be instructed to deliver its determination of the Disputed Amounts in writing within thirty (30) days after its engagement. Subject to the foregoing sentence, none of Purchasers, on the one hand, or Agent, on the other hand, or any of their respective Representatives shall have or shall conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Accounting Firm without the other either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to the Disputed Amounts only and in a manner consistent with this Section 1.13 and the methodology set forth in Schedule 1.13(a)(i) and, to the extent not inconsistent with such methodology, in accordance with GAAP, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party. Purchasers and Agent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Disputed Amounts as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request. Absent manifest error, the determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Accounting Firm’s written determination may be entered and reduced to judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(iv) The fees, expenses and costs of the Accounting Firm incurred in connection with such dispute, shall be borne by the Parties (or Sellers, in the case of Agent) in proportion to the aggregate amounts by which the sum total of the Disputed Amounts submitted to the Accounting Firm by each such Party (other than any dispute with respect to the Reserves Provision or the Rebates and Chargebacks Allowance) differed from the Accounting Firm’s final determination of the sum total of the Disputed Amounts. The respective fees and expenses of each Party’s legal, financial and accounting advisors incurred in connection with such dispute shall be borne by each such Party.
| -5- |
(c) Post-Closing Adjustment.
(i) Once all disputes relating to the Closing Calculations, if any, are or are deemed resolved in accordance with Section 1.13(b), then pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(ii):
(1) if the sum of the Closing Accounts Receivable Amount plus the Closing Inventory Amount plus the Closing Prepaid Assets Amount minus the Closing Trade Payables Amount minus the Closing Accrued Expenses Amount (in all cases, such amounts to be determined in accordance with Section 1.13(b); such sum, the “Closing Sum”) exceeds $24,500,000, the Purchasers shall be obligated to pay the Sellers the lesser of (x) fifty percent (50%) of such excess and (y) $4,229,665;
(2) if the Closing Sum is less than $18,500,000, the Sellers shall be obligated to pay the Purchasers the difference between $18,500,000 and the Closing Sum;
(3) for the avoidance of doubt, if the Closing Sum is equal to or greater than $18,500,000 but not greater than $24,500,000, no payment obligation shall arise pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i)(1) or Section 1.13(c)(i)(2);
(4) if the Closing Indebtedness Amount determined in accordance with Section 1.13(b) exceeds the amount of Existing Indebtedness as set forth in the Payout Spreadsheet, the Sellers shall be obligated to pay such excess to the Purchasers; and
(5) if the Closing Transaction Expense Amount determined in accordance with Section 1.13(b) exceeds the amount of Transaction Expenses as set forth in the Payout Spreadsheet, the Sellers shall be obligated to pay such excess to the Purchasers.
(ii) If the amounts that Sellers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i) exceed the amounts that Purchasers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i) (such excess, the “Downward Adjustment Amount”), then, unless Parent has notified Agent prior to the payment contemplated by this Section 1.13(c) that it intends to reduce the Equity Consideration or the Deferred Payment Amount pursuant to Section 9.9 within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Downward Adjustment Amount, Sellers shall pay, and Members shall take all applicable steps to cause Sellers to pay (including by contributing sufficient capital to Sellers with respect thereto), to Purchasers by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account or accounts designated in writing by Purchasers, the Downward Adjustment Amount.
(iii) If the amounts that the Purchasers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i) exceed the amounts that Sellers are obligated to pay
| -6- |
pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i), (the amount of such excess, the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Upward Adjustment Amount, Purchasers shall pay or cause to be paid to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account or accounts designated in writing by Agent, such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Upward Adjustment Amount.
(iv) If the amounts that the Purchasers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i) are equal to the amounts that the Sellers are obligated to pay pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(i), no payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.13(c).
(v) The procedures set forth in this Section 1.13 and the adjustment to the Equity Consideration and the Deferred Payment Amount in Section 9.9 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any Disputed Amounts.
(d) Access to Information. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide promptly to the other Parties all information (including relevant Tax records relating to the Business or Purchased Products and Related Assets) and reasonable access (provided, that such access shall be during normal business hours (or at such other time consented to by Parent or Purchasers) and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of such other Parties) to employees and accountants as such other Parties shall reasonably request in connection with the review of the Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities, the Closing Statement or the Objection Notice (including with respect to all of the calculations of amounts set forth therein), as the case may be, including all work papers of Parent and Purchasers in respect of the Purchased Products and Related Assets and Assumed Liabilities and the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such statements or notices (subject to Sellers and their representatives executing a customary non-reliance agreement if required by Purchasers’ or Parent’s accountants in connection herewith), and shall otherwise cooperate in good faith with such other Parties to arrive at a final determination of the Closing Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities and the Closing Statement.”
7. Amendment to Section 7.9. Section 7.9 of the Product Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Section 7.9. Employees.
(a) From the date hereof and through the Closing, and for ten (10) days thereafter, Sellers shall provide Parent, Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the employees of Sellers, their Affiliates and Subsidiaries and the Books and Records relating to such employees, for the purpose of evaluating to which employees, if any, Purchasers and their Affiliates may desire to offer employment as of or following the close of business on the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 7.9(a). Sellers, Members and their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries shall
| -7- |
reasonably cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, Purchasers, Parent and their respective Affiliates and Representatives to enable them to make such evaluations. No later than ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Purchasers shall deliver to Sellers a list of Sellers’ employees to whom either Purchaser (or an Affiliate of either Purchaser) intends to offer employment and the effective date of such employment (the date each such employee commences employment with either Purchaser (or an Affiliate of either Purchaser) shall be such employee’s “Hire Date”); provided, that no proposed effective date will be later than February 1, 2017. Those of Sellers’ employees who receive and accept either Purchaser’s (or any such Affiliate’s) offer of employment and report to work for active duty with such Purchaser (or any such Affiliate) following the Closing are collectively referred to herein as the “Hired Employees.” To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each Seller shall terminate the employment of each such Hired Employee effective immediately prior to such Hired Employee’s Hire Date. Within fifteen (15) days after each Hired Employee’s Hire Date each Seller shall cause to be discharged, satisfied and paid in full to such Hired Employee an amount equal to (i) all Liabilities associated with any severance obligations owed to such Hired Employee pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan, including any employment agreement, offer letter or compensation arrangement or applicable Law, and (ii) any other amounts such employees may be entitled to receive as the result of employment termination, including accrued wages, accrued and unused vacation and other paid time off and accrued bonuses, if any, through the Hire Date. Each Seller shall, effective as of immediately prior to each Hired Employee’s Hire Date, release the applicable Hired Employee from and, if requested by Purchasers, assign to Purchasers or an Affiliate of Purchasers its rights under any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and similar restrictive covenants or agreements and any assignment of inventions agreements previously entered into between such Seller and such Hired Employee. Each Seller shall deliver to Purchasers, at or before each Hired Employee’s Hire Date, written evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchasers, of the release and assignment described in the immediately preceding sentence. Nothing herein shall confer upon any Hired Employee any right to be employed by either Purchaser or any Affiliate of either Purchaser for any specified period of time following the Closing Date or in any way limit Purchasers’ or any of their Affiliates’ right to terminate the employment of any Hired Employee at any time following the Closing Date for any reason (or no reason).
(b) Purchasers (or an applicable Affiliate) shall provide each Hired Employee, until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, total annual compensation which is no less favorable than the total annual compensation in effect with respect to such Hired Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that any filings are required with the USCIS with respect to any Hired Employees on H1 or Practical Training Visas, the Parties agree that such Hired Employees will remain on the applicable Seller’s payroll for such transitionary period, and Sellers will invoice Purchasers for such services.
(c) With respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, Sellers shall take any necessary actions to cause, as of the close of business on each Hired Employee’s Hire Date, such Hired Employees and their eligible spouses, dependents, and beneficiaries who are covered under such Employee Benefit Plan to cease coverage under such Employee Benefit Plan. Each Seller shall, at its own expense, terminate each Hired Employee’s participation under each Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to such Hired Employee’s Hire Date, and take such further actions after such Hire Date as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable to distribute all
| -8- |
benefits accrued or payable thereunder and to otherwise satisfy all obligations arising thereunder, in each case, with respect to the Hired Employees.
(d) From and after the close of business on each Hired Employee’s Hire Date, Purchasers (or an applicable Affiliate) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give each Hired Employee full credit for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes, except vacation, if applicable) under any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (excluding both any post-retirement health or other welfare plans or programs and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by Purchasers or any of their Affiliates) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchasers (or an applicable Affiliate) in which such Hired Employee will participate effective as of the close of business on such Hired Employee’s Hire Date (collectively, the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), for such Hired Employee’s service with Sellers to the extent recognized by Sellers under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan, except to the extent that (i) such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, or (ii) such service is with respect to a newly-established Purchaser Benefit Plan for which similarly-situated employees of Purchasers or their Affiliates do not receive past service credit.
(e) Purchasers (or an applicable Affiliate) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive for each Hired Employee, and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, pre-existing condition limitation, and actively-at-work requirements under Purchaser Benefit Plans that are “employee welfare benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (collectively, the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”). Purchasers (or an applicable Affiliate) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give full credit under the Purchaser Welfare Plans for all co-payments made and deductibles satisfied prior to a Hired Employee’s Hire Date in the same plan year as such Hire Date. Claims incurred by a Hired Employee with respect to any welfare benefit plan following the close of business on such Hired Employee’s Hire Date shall be the responsibility of the applicable Purchaser Welfare Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such Purchaser Welfare Plan. Claims incurred with respect to any welfare benefit plan for Hired Employees rendered prior to close of business on such Hired Employee’s Hire Date shall be the responsibility of the welfare benefit plan of the Seller which covered such employees prior to close of business on such Hire Date.
(f) This Section 7.9 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.9, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.9. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

12. Amendment to Section 9.9. The reference to Section 1.13(c)(i) in the first sentence of each of Section 9.9(a) and Section 9.9(b) of the Product Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with “Section 1.13(c)(ii)”.
13. Amendment to Section 12.14(g). Section 12.14(g) of the Product Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to delete the clause “the Estimated Statement of Specified Assets and Liabilities,”.

“During the Term, Executive will be employed as a member of the Executive Committee of Company and shall have the duties and responsibilities assigned by Company from time to time consistent with that position and consistent with the position of a senior executive.”.
4. No Diminution. Executive and Company acknowledge and agree that neither the amendment set forth in Section 3 of this Article III above, nor Executive’s service as a member of the Executive Committee of Company, rather than President of the Company, by itself, constitutes any diminution in Executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities for any purpose, including, but not limited to, for purposes of the definition of “Good Reason” set forth in Section 7.2 of the Employment Agreement, and Executive hereby irrevocably waives any claim that Executive’s offer and acceptance of employment as member of the Executive Committee of Company, rather than President of Company, by itself, constitutes Good Reason.

The Purchasers and Agent agree, on behalf of all Parties, that the notice given on behalf of the Sellers on or about December 15, 2016, pursuant to Section 7.19 of the Product Purchase Agreement, in respect of the Connecticut AG Civil Action (as defined below) constituted a notice under Section 7.19(a)(d) of the Product Purchase Agreement, and was not intended to, and did not, constitute a Condition Failure Notification under Section 7.19(b). For the avoidance of doubt, such notice shall in no way be deemed a waiver, or otherwise diminish the entitlement, of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification under the Product Purchase Agreement.
2. For purposes hereof, the “Connecticut AG Civil Action” refers to the following Proceeding: The States of Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa,
