If the Independent Accounting Firm does not substantially agree with the calculation of Cash Merger Consideration by either the Member Representative of the Parent, then each party shall pay 50% of the Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses.

(c)  If the Cash Merger Consideration as recalculated pursuant to Section 3.8(b) is in excess of the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration, then the Parent shall pay within three (3) Business Days following the final determination thereof in accordance with this Section 3.8, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by the Member Representative to the Parent, such excess to the Member Representative, for further distribution to the applicable the LED Supply Members, based on their respective Ownership Percentages.

(a)  For any taxable period of LED Supply that ends on or before the Closing Date or for any Straddle Period, the LED Supply Members and the Member Representative will prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to LED Supply and will cause such Tax Returns to be timely filed. The Parent Group will provide timely cooperation with respect to the filing of all such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, each such Tax Return shall, to the extent applicable, be prepared in a manner consistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior Tax periods in filing such Tax Returns, unless, with respect to any Straddle Period, otherwise required by Applicable Law. Solely with respect to any Tax Return for any Straddle Period, the Member Representative will provide a copy of any such Tax Return to the Parent for the Parent’s review and comment. The Member Representative will incorporate all reasonable comments of the Parent thereto and Parent will cause the final version of such Tax Returns to be timely filed. All Transaction Tax Deductions will, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be reflected on the Tax Returns of LED Supply for the taxable year ending on or prior to, as the case may be, the Closing Date.

(b)  The LED Supply Members will be entitled to any Tax refunds or overpayments received by the Parent Group, LED Supply or any of their Affiliates that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The Parent Group will, and will cause any of its Affiliates to, make all filings and take all actions necessary to secure such refunds or overpayments as promptly as possible and to pay to the LED Supply Members, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Ownership Percentages, any such refund or the amount of any such overpayment within fifteen (15) days after the actual receipt of or entitlement to such refund or overpayment. The LED Supply Members will indemnify the Parent Group against losses related to any claims made by any LED Supply Member for amounts paid to the LED Supply Members pursuant to this Section 7.5(b).

(c)  The Member Representative will control any audit or other Legal Action regarding any income Taxes or income Tax Returns of LED Supply relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period) that arises after the Closing Date. The Parent Group will control any other audit or other Legal Action regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of LED Supply that arises after the Closing Date. To the extent any such audit or other Legal Action controlled by the Parent Group could reasonably be expected to increase the indemnification obligations of the LED Supply Members under this Agreement or affect the value of any Tax refund or overpayment governed by Section 7.5(b), the Parent Group will (a) permit the Member Representative to participate in such audit or Legal Action, (b) permit the Member Representative to review and comment on any documents in connection with such audit or other Legal Action, (c) take any reasonable comments into consideration prior to filing any document, and (d) not settle or compromise any such audit or Legal Action without the consent of the Member Representative, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)  The Parent Group and the LED Supply Members will each assume liability for fifty-percent (50%) of all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, documentary, recording, gains, equity transfer and similar Taxes and fees, and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected under this Agreement. The parties hereto will cooperate to timely file or cause to be filed all necessary documentation and Tax Returns regarding such Transfer Taxes.

(e)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.5, without the prior written consent of the Member Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent Group shall not, and shall not permit any Person to, (i) voluntarily approach any Governmental Body regarding any Tax or Tax Return of LED Supply for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including entering into any “voluntary disclosure program” with any Governmental Body, (ii) consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Legal Action regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of LED Supply for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make any Tax election for LED Supply with an effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) amend any Tax Return of LED Supply for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f)  For purposes of this Agreement, the Taxes for any Straddle Period will be allocated between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the remaining portion of such Straddle Period (i) in the case of real property, personal property and other similar ad valorem Taxes, proportionally based on the number of days in each such portion of the Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date.

(g)  The parties hereto intend to treat the First Merger and the Second Merger as integrated steps in the single transaction contemplated by this Agreement and, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 2001-46, intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger will together qualify as a single “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2 of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code), LED Supply, the LED Supply Equityholders, and the Parent Group shall treat and report the transactions contemplated by this agreement in all respects consistently with the provisions of this Agreement for purposes of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax. Each party shall not (and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to) take any action which action is not contemplated by this agreement and could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

7.6  LED Supply Equityholders’ Release. Effective as of the Closing, but subject to, and contingent upon, receipt of the payments contemplated in Section 3.1, each LED Supply Member, on behalf of such LED Supply Member and his Affiliates (other than LED Supply), successors, assigns, heirs, Affiliates, beneficiaries, agents, representatives, spouse, and next of kin (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever releases and discharges the Parent Group, LED Supply and the Second Merger Surviving Entity and their respective successors and assigns, Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, members, and stockholders (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, any and all Legal Actions, demands, debts, accounts, covenants, contracts, arrangements, promises, obligations, damages, judgments, or Liabilities of any kind, in law or equity, and causes of action of every kind and nature, or otherwise (including claims for damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys’, brokers’, and accountants’ fees and expenses) which such LED Supply Member or any of the Releasing Parties ever had, now has or may ever claim to have against any Released Party, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and that now exist or may hereafter accrue, arising out of or relating to or in connection with the status of such LED Supply Member as an equityholder of LED Supply prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided, that (a) nothing contained in this Section 7.6 shall constitute a waiver of any claims that any LED Supply Member may bring or have for indemnification from a member of the Parent Group under this Agreement or release any Parent Indemnified Party (including the Second Merger Surviving Entity) from (i) any obligation of any Parent Indemnified Party (including the Company) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (ii) any rights of such LED Supply Member (or any other Releasing Party) under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document; and (iii) any rights of any LED Supply Member (or any other Releasing Party) as a director, manager, employee or officer of the Company for any unpaid compensation or benefits earned, any rights to reimbursement for ordinary course expenses or the rights to continue to participate in the Company’s benefits, if applicable; and (b) this release shall only relate to those claims arising from conduct occurring on or before the Closing. Each LED Supply Member (on behalf of such LED Supply Member and each of his, her, or its applicable Releasing Parties) shall refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any Legal Action of any kind before any court, arbitrator, or Governmental Body against any Released Party based upon any Released Claim. Each LED Supply Member (on behalf of such LED Supply Member and each of his, her, or its applicable Releasing Parties) acknowledges that he, she, or it may hereafter discover facts other than or different from those that he, she, or it knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but such LED Supply Member hereby expressly agrees that, as of the Closing, such LED Supply Member (on behalf of such LED Supply Member and each of his, her, or its applicable Releasing Parties) shall have waived and fully, finally, and forever settled and released any known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, contingent or non-contingent claim with respect to the Released Claims, whether or not concealed or hidden by LED Supply, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts. Each LED Supply Member (on behalf of such LED Supply Member and each of his, her, or its applicable Releasing Parties) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if such LED Supply Member or any of such Releasing Parties should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any Legal Action against any Released Party with respect to any Released Claim, this Section 7.6 may be raised as a complete bar to any such Legal Action, and the applicable Released Party may recover from such LED Supply Member all Losses incurred in connection with such Legal Action.

7.7  Piggyback Registration Right. For a period of five years after the Closing Date, the LED Supply Members shall have “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the Common Stock received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Registrable Securities”) if the Parent proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Parent for stockholders other than the LED Supply Members) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than in an Excluded Registration). The Parent shall promptly give the LED Supply Members notice of such registration. Upon the request of the LED Supply Members, the Parent shall, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such LED Supply Member has requested to be included in such registration. The Parent shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 7.7 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any LED Supply Member has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Parent. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Parent’s capital stock, the Parent shall not be required to include any of the LED Supply Members’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the LED Supply Members accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Parent and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Parent. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by LED Supply Members to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Parent) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Parent shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Parent in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling LED Supply Members in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling LED Supply Member or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling LED Supply Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (a) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities held by (i) holders of record of the Parent’s securities as of the Closing Date or (ii) other holders of record of the Parent’s securities that are not the LED Supply Members and acquire such securities after the Closing Date as consideration for a merger, stock sales, asset acquisition, reorganization or other similar transaction, are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (b) after the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below ten percent (10%) of the total number of securities included in such offering. For purposes of this Section 7.7, “Excluded Registration” shall mean (A) a registration relating to the sale or grant of securities to employees of the Parent or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, equity incentive or similar plan; (B) a registration relating to an SEC Rule 145 transaction; (C) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or (D) a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the LED Supply Members shall be entitled to have any Registerable Securities purchased by an underwriter or the investors in any of the Parent’s registered offerings.

7.8  Lock-Up Agreement. If from the Closing Date until the second anniversary thereof, the Parent engages in a public offering of the Common Stock, any LED Supply Member who is an officer or director or 5% or more Common Stock holder of the Parent at the time of such public offering hereby agrees to enter into a lock-up agreement if requested by the underwriter of such public offering; provided that Parent’s officers, directors, and other five percent (5%) or more stockholders are required to enter lock-up agreements on substantially the same terms as such members of LED Supply.

7.9  Right of First Refusal. Each Founder agrees that Parent has a right of first refusal with respect to the sale of any shares of Common Stock obtained by such Founder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that is in excess of $1,000,000 (the “ROFR Sale”). The applicable Founder shall provide the Parent with written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) of the proposed ROFR Sale and Parent shall have ten (10) Business Days to purchase the shares of Common Stock related to the ROFR Sale at a cash price that is the higher of (a) $2.00 per share, or (b) the price set forth in the ROFR Notice. In the event that Parent has not purchased the shares of Common Stock subject to such ROFR Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the right of first refusal granted under this Section 7.9 shall lapse with respect to such ROFR Sale, and such Founder shall be entitled to proceed with such ROFR Sale on substantially the terms set forth in the ROFR Notice delivered in connection therewith.

7.10  Make-Whole. In the event any LED Supply Member sells any shares of Common Stock obtained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement through a registered broker/dealer on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date for a price per share of the Common Stock less than $2.00 (the “Sale Price”), Parent will pay to such LED Supply Member within ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of such sale to an account designated in writing by such LED Supply Member an amount equal to (a) (i) $2.00 less (ii) the Sale Price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock sold in such sale (the “Make Whole Amount”). The Make Whole Amount payment shall be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Common Stock (with the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued determined based on a price per share equal to 90% of the Sale Price).

7.11  Non-Interference; Additional Services; No Obligations. The Parent will not take any specific action or related actions with respect to the Second Merger Surviving Entity that in the aggregate would unreasonably and determinately interfere with the operation of the business of the Second Merger Surviving Entity (or successor thereof) and would substantially reduce the likelihood that the requirements for the Earnout Payments will be met as set forth in this Agreement. No member of the Parent Group shall cause or require any Founder nor any Service Provider to provide any services to the business of any member of the Parent Group or any Affiliate thereof, other than those relating to the business of the Second Merger Surviving Entity (or successor thereof), as conducted as of the Closing Date, unless agreed upon in writing by the Founders. The Second Merger Surviving Entity will be allocated working capital in an amount to be set forth on a Schedule 7.11 to be delivered on or before January 6, 2023 (which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Member Representative) (the “Net Working Capital Requirement”). Except as contemplated herein, the Parent Group will not have any express or implied obligation to use efforts to operate the business of the Second Merger Surviving Entity in any specified manner, nor any obligation to provide support of any kind in the achievement of the revenue targets relating to the Earnout Payments set forth in this Agreement.

7.12  Earnout Acceleration upon Certain Events. In the event that after the Closing Date, any of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is terminated by the Parent Group without Cause or resigns from the Parent Group for Good Reason, subject to such additional conditions as may be mutually agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Member Representative prior to January 6, 2023 with respect to the involuntary demotion of title or position of the employment of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ due to failure of such individual’s performance, the remaining Earnout Payments shall be deemed earned and automatically due and payable, with no further action required on the part of any Person, and Parent shall make the maximum Earnout Payments (for such purpose assuming that 100% of the revenue targets set forth in Schedule I had been achieved) at such time or times as otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.5 and Schedule II, as though each of the conditions for payment of the Earnout Payments had been satisfied in accordance herewith.

7.13  Election of Board Member. On or immediately after the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of the Parent shall elect ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to serve as a member of the Board of Directors effective as of the Closing Date.

7.14  Financing Condition. The Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the financing set forth in Section 8.2(i).

7.15  Board Approval. Parent shall, in accordance with Parent’s constituent documents, cause (a) a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Parent to be called as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of the Schedules and Exhibits that are required to be provided hereunder on or before January 6, 2023, and (b) the Board of Directors of the Parent at such meeting to consider the Transactions and the terms hereof, including whether to proceed to Closing.

9.3  Termination by Parent. This Agreement may be terminated by the Parent and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned by written notice to the Member Representative at any time prior to the Closing, if (a) LED Supply shall have failed to perform in any material respect any of their material obligations under this Agreement to be performed at or prior to such date of termination, which failure to perform is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by LED Supply or such LED Supply Member of written notice of such failure, or (b) any representation or warranty of LED Supply contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct (except for changes permitted by this Agreement and those representations which address matters only as of a particular date shall remain true and correct as of such date), and such failure to be true and correct is not cured, or is incapable of being cured, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by LED Supply or such LED Supply Member of written notice of such failure, except, in any case, such failures which (i) in the aggregate are not reasonably likely to adversely affect LED Supply in any material respect or adversely affect LED Supply’s ability to complete the transactions contemplated herein or (ii) would not or result in the non-fulfillment of Section 8.2(a).

Any Termination Fee shall be paid by a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the non-Breaching Party on the Business day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the non-Breaching Party fails to timely pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.7, and in order to obtain payment, the non-Breaching Party commences any action, suit or proceedings which results in a judgment against the Breaching Party, the Breaching Party shall pay the non-Breaching Party its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The parties agree that (except in the case of Fraud or any willful breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to such termination and except for the parties’ rights under Article 10), upon termination of this Agreement under the circumstances that entitle the non-Breaching Party to the Termination Fee, the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the non-Breaching Party and its Affiliates against the non-Breaching Party and its Affiliates for all Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon the payment of the Termination Fee in such circumstances (except in the case of Fraud or any willful breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to such termination and except for the parties’ rights under Article 10) the Breaching Party shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that any Termination Fee received by the non-Breaching Party shall reduce the amount of damages payable by any Breaching Party, if any, in respect of any such Fraud or willful breach.

Article 10
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1  Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement, and the right to make claims hereunder with respect thereto, shall survive until and expire on the date which is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “General Reps Expiration Date”), except that:

(a)  the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.6, Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 5.11, and Section 5.22 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) will survive until any Earnout Payment for 2025 is due and payable (or until a state of facts exists such that the Earnout Payment for 2025 will not become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof); and

(b)  any representation and warranty that is the subject of a Fraud claim will survive indefinitely.

All covenants and agreements shall continue to survive in accordance with their terms (but if no term is specified, such survival shall extend until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation applicable to claims related thereto, plus an additional sixty (60) days). The date when any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement expires in accordance with this Section 10.1 and this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if written notice is properly given pursuant to this Article 10 with respect to any alleged breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement to which such party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder prior to the applicable Expiration Date, then claims with respect to breaches of any such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement shall survive, with respect to the subject matter of such written notice, until the applicable claim is finally resolved and satisfied in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statute of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement.

10.2  Indemnification by LED Supply Members. Subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Article 10, the LED Supply Members hereby agree, from and after the Closing, to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Group, and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, permitted assigns, and representatives (each, a “Parent Indemnified Party” and, together, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and with respect to any and all losses, damages, Liabilities, deficiencies, Legal Actions, Legal Orders, Taxes, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, dues, costs, fees, and expenses of whatever kind, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, and all amounts paid in investigation, defense, or settlement of any of the foregoing, whether asserted by third parties or incurred or sustained in the absence of third-party claims, but excluding (a) any special, exemplary or punitive damage (except to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Body or other third party), (b) such Losses based on a revenue multiple or similar Losses, and (c) consequential damages (except to the extent reasonably foreseeable) (each a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”), as a result of or arising out of, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

(a)  the breach of any representation or warranty of LED Supply contained herein or in any certificate furnished by LED Supply in connection with this Agreement;

(b)  the breach of any covenant or agreement of LED Supply contained herein, which is to be performed on or before the Closing Date;

(c)  the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any LED Supply Member contained herein by such LED Supply Member in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (whether to be performed before or after the Closing Date).

(d)  any Pre-Closing Taxes of LED Supply.

(e)  Any claims made against LED Supply by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Defense.

Any payment made by the LED Supply Members to the Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 10.2 (other than Parent Special Claims and as contemplated in the paragraph immediately below) shall be paid in the following manner and order, subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Article 10: (i) first, to the extent an Escrow Account is required to be established pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.1(a)(v) and 3.1(b)(iii), the Member Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Parent an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such payment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Escrow Account; (ii) second, to the extent there are no funds remaining in the Escrow Account to satisfy any such payment (or no Escrow Account is required to be established pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.1(a)(v) and 3.1(b)(iii), then (after giving effect to subclause (i) above) the amount of any unsatisfied payment shall be satisfied by the forfeiture and cancellation of Indemnity Shares (based on a share price of $2.00 per share) equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such remaining payment and (y) the number of Indemnity Shares, that have not been forfeited and cancelled as of such time and (iii) third, to the extent all Indemnity Shares have been forfeited and cancelled, then the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have no further claims against the LED Supply Members under this Article 10, other than any Parent Special Claims.

Notwithstanding the paragraph immediately above, any payment made by the LED Supply Members to the Parent Indemnified Parties (A) with respect to Fraud of LED Supply (other than Parent Special Claims) or (B) with respect to a breach of Fundamental Representations after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date shall be paid, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, solely by setoff against any Earnout Payments actually earned and payable hereunder and under the PURO Merger Agreement (as of the time earned and payable), after giving effect to any prior setoffs hereunder or under the PURO Merger Agreement (the “Earnout Cap”).

10.3  Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Subject to each of the applicable limitations set forth in this Article 10, from and after the Closing, the Parent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the LED Supply Members, and any heirs, representatives, or agents of any of them (each a “Member Indemnified Party” and, together, the “Member Indemnified Parties”) from and with respect to any Losses as a result of or arising out of, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

(a)  the breach of any representation or warranty of the Parent Group contained herein, or in any certificate furnished by the Parent Group in connection with this Agreement; or

(b)  the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Parent Group contained herein.

10.4  Claims.

(a)  Notice of Claims. A Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article 10 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 (the “Indemnifying Party”) which notice, in the case of any indemnification under Section 10.2, shall be given to the Member Representative, in writing in accordance with Section 11.4 of any claims for indemnification under this Agreement (such notice, a “Notice of Claim”); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give a Notice of Claim shall not limit or otherwise affect any right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent, if at all, that the Indemnifying Party shall demonstrate that he, she or it was prejudiced by such failure. Any Notice of Claim (i) shall be delivered prior to the applicable Expiration Date, if any, and (ii) shall be made in good faith and state the basis on and Losses for which indemnification is being asserted, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party.

(b)  Defense of Claims. If the Notice of Claim involves a Legal Action (excluding, without limitation, any audit, action, or proceeding relating to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 7.5(c)) instituted by any third party for which the Liability or the costs or expenses are Losses (any such third party Legal Action or proceeding being referred to as a “Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (i) to employ counsel at its sole cost and expense reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such Claim asserted against the Indemnified Party, (ii) to control and conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnified Party and (iii) to take all other steps or proceedings to settle or defend any such Claims; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only have the rights set forth in Section 10.4(b)(i) through (iii) if: (A) the defense of such Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party; (B) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; (C) the amount of the potential Losses of the Indemnified Party related to such Claim are not estimated to exceed the indemnification limits in Section 10.5; (D) the Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (E) the Claim does not include criminal charges (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (E) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, as promptly as possible after receipt of the Notice of Claim (but in any case within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Notice of Claim or such earlier time necessary to reasonably allow a timely response to the Claim (the “Indemnity Notice Period”)) of its election to defend any such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Claim, then (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall actively and diligently conduct the defense, and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense (including with counsel of its choice) and receive copies of all notices, pleadings, and other submissions, in each case at its own expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (xxiv) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (xxv) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met; or (xxvi) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver to the Indemnified Party written notice within the Indemnity Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of any such Claim resulting therefrom, then the Indemnifying Party will no longer have the right to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against any such Claim in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses that are ultimately determined to be owed under this Article 10 subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed as to all material matters concerning such Claim.

(c)  Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Claim, except that no written consent shall be necessary if the settlement (i) includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim, (ii) does not grant any injunctive or equitable relief, or (iii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any law and no effect on any other claim that may be made against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.4(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(d)  Cooperation.

In no event will any Losses in respect of the Member Special Claims be limited by or count towards this dollar limitation.

(c)  Payment Adjustments.

As practicable after the end of each Earnout Period, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Member Representative an income statement for such Earnout Period and a statement setting forth its calculation of the Revenue of LED Supply for such Earnout Period (the “Preliminary Earnout Statement”). The income statement to be prepared as part of each Preliminary Earnout Statement (each, a “Preliminary Income Statement”) shall fairly present in all material respects the pre-tax income of LED Supply for such Earnout Period in accordance with GAAP.

The Member Representative may dispute any amounts relating to Revenue reflected on (including any amounts omitted from) a Preliminary Earnout Statement; provided, however, that the Member Representative shall have notified the Parent in writing (the “Earnout Dispute Notice”) of the disputed items within fifteen (15) days of the delivery to the Member Representative of the respective Preliminary Earnout Statement. Each Earnout Dispute Notice shall have set forth, in such written notice, (i) the amount in dispute for each such item, and (ii) the basis, in reasonable detail, for each such dispute.

The accountant of the Parent shall attempt to reconcile any items timely raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice. Any written resolution by such accountant of any such disputed amounts shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties thereto. If any such written resolution by such accountant does not resolve all such disputed items raised by the Member Representative in the Earnout Dispute Notice permitted to be raised herein within ten (10) days after receipt by the Purchaser, the items timely raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice that remain in dispute (the “Remaining Disputed Earnout Items”) shall be submitted for resolution to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable by the Purchaser and the Member Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The written report of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Member Representative. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Parent and the Member Representative in the proportion that the amounts submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) by each such party bears to the total disputed items so submitted. Each of the respective Preliminary Earnout Statements, subject to any modifications in the event the Earnout Dispute Notice is delivered to the Parent within the allowable time period set forth herein, is referred to herein as an “Earnout Statement.” An Earnout Statement shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Schedule upon the earliest to occur of (i) the failure of the Member Representative to notify the Parent of a dispute permitted to be raised by this Schedule within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the applicable Preliminary Earnout Statement to the Member Representative, (B) the delivery to the Member Representative of the written resolution by the accountant of the Purchaser of all disputes permitted to be raised in accordance with this Section, and (C) the delivery to the Purchaser and the Member Representative of the written resolution by the Independent Accounting Firm of all Remaining Disputed Items.

All amounts payable under this Schedule are conditioned upon the operating businesses of LED Supply having timely access to the projected working capital amounts and agreed upon headcount. To the extent that such amounts and/or headcount are not made available, the Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, the earnout payment amounts as if the targets had been fully achieved. The above earnout metrics assume that all Service Providers and the Founders are not operating divisions within the Parent that are not part of the business of LED Supply or providing services in relation to products sold by the Parent that are not sold by the business of LED Supply, in each case measured as of the date of the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties.

Type of Payment

The payments to be made pursuant to this Schedule II shall be in the form of either (i) cash or (ii) Parent Common Stock at a 10% discount to the closing price of the date of payment, of which shall be at the sole discretion of the Members.
