(a) directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(i) acquire or have any interest in, whether as a proprietor, partner, co-venturer, financier or investor, any person, firm, partnership, corporation, association, limited liability company or other entity that directly or through an Affiliate, either (1) directly or indirectly offers, solicits, provides or engages in the business of designing, engineering, manufacturing and marketing a broad array of lighting and graphics products for commercial/industrial lighting applications and corporation visual image programs or the business of producing electronic assemblies and subassemblies per customer specifications (“Conflicting Business”), or (2) to the Shareholder’s Knowledge, intends to offer, solicit, provide or engage in a Conflicting Business; or

(ii) be employed by or accept new employment to serve as director, officer, servant, agent, representative or otherwise to any Person that directly or through an Affiliate, either (1) offers, solicits, provides or engages in a Conflicting Business or (2) to the Shareholder’s Knowledge, intends to offer, solicit, provide or engage in a Conflicting Business. Each Shareholder agrees that the Business is conducted worldwide, and that this Section 8.1 applies to the Shareholders’ activities throughout the United States and any other country in which ADL Technology’s, ADL Engineering’s products have been sold, leased or distributed in the twelve (12) months preceding the Closing Date.

(iii) without the prior written consent of LSI or Buyer, directly, indirectly, or in concert with any other Person, whether as a proprietor, partner, co-venturer, financier, investor, director, officer, employer, employee, servant, agent, representative or otherwise (A) request, induce or attempt to induce any customer or supplier of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including LSI) to terminate its relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including LSI); (B) solicit, contact, participate in or offer to participate in any Conflicting Business for any customer of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or (C) interfere with or disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Buyer or its Affiliates (including LSI) and any customer, supplier or employee of Buyer or its Affiliates (including LSI);

(b) It is agreed by the parties that the foregoing covenants in this Section 8.1 impose a reasonable restraint on the Shareholders in light of the activities and business of Buyer and its Affiliates (including LSI) on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of LSI and Buyer. The Shareholders acknowledge that, in light of the significant benefit received by the Shareholders as a result of the parties entering into this Agreement, the covenants in this Section 8.1 shall not prevent the Shareholders from earning a livelihood upon the termination of employment hereunder, but merely prevents unfair competition with Buyer and its Affiliates (including LSI) for a limited period of time.

In the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth herein are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent that such court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

(d) All of the covenants in this Section 8.1 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Shareholders against Buyer or its Affiliates (including LSI), whether predicated in this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by LSI and Buyer of such covenants against any Shareholder.

Each Shareholder acknowledges that any information and materials received by Buyer from third parties in confidence (or subject to nondisclosure or similar covenants) shall be deemed to be and shall be Confidential Information within the meaning of this Section 8.2. Each

Shareholder further acknowledges that upon Closing such Confidential Information shall be a valuable and unique asset of Buyer and covenants that, both during and after the Non-Competition Period, such Shareholder will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of Buyer.

If any person or authority makes a demand on a Shareholder purporting to legally compel him to divulge any Confidential Information, such Shareholder promptly shall give notice of the demand to Buyer so that Buyer may first assess whether to challenge the demand prior to the Shareholder divulging such Confidential Information. Unless otherwise required by Law, the Shareholder shall not divulge such Confidential Information until Buyer either has concluded not to challenge the demand, or has exhausted its challenge, including appeals, if any; and thereafter shall divulge only such Confidential Information which is legally required.

(b) All records, designs, business plans, financial statements, customer lists, manuals, memoranda, lists, research and development plans, Intellectual Property and other property delivered to or compiled by the Shareholders by or on behalf of the Companies, their predecessors and their Affiliates or business partners, clients or customers that pertain to the Business, shall be and remain the property of the Companies until transferred to Buyer at the Closing and be subject at all times to their discretion and control.

Section 8.3 Remedy for Breach. Each Shareholder agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by such Shareholder of any covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Article VIII, Buyer shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (a) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (c) any other relief which a court deems just and equitable, all of which remedies shall be available without requiring Buyer to post a bond or any other similar requirement, which are hereby waived by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Article VIII are intended to be, and shall be, for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, Buyer’s successors and assigns.

Section 8.4 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Buyer provided in this Article VIII are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder, and the obligations and Liabilities of the Shareholders under this Article VIII are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and Liabilities under the Law of unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and the like. This Agreement does not limit, and is not limited by, the terms of the Employment Agreements or any other agreement between the Shareholders and the Companies, LSI, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

The making of a claim for indemnification for specified Losses under this Agreement shall toll the running of the Indemnity Period, but solely with respect to such specified Losses. Subject to the foregoing, the representations and warranties of each of the Shareholders and each Company shall survive the Closing and any investigation conducted by or on behalf of Buyer, even if an Indemnified Buyer Party had Knowledge of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be construed to limit the ability of Buyer to assert a claim against any Company or any Shareholder for fraud committed in connection herewith or the period of time in which Buyer may bring such a claim.

Section 10.2 General Indemnification Obligation of LSI and Buyer. LSI and Buyer, jointly and severally, will reimburse, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Shareholders, ADL Technology and ADL Engineering, their officers, directors, employees, agents and successors or assigns (each an “Indemnified Seller Party”) against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Seller Party that result from, relate to or arise out of any of the following:

(a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or, non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of LSI or Buyer under this Agreement or the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or the other documents or instruments furnished by LSI or Buyer to the Shareholders or the Companies pursuant to this Agreement or the Real Estate Purchase Agreement;

Section 10.3 Third Party Claims — Indemnification.

(a) If any claim, demand, Action or proceeding for which any of the Sellers would be liable to an Indemnified Buyer Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Buyer Party by a third party, or if an Indemnified Buyer Party otherwise suffers any Losses for which indemnification would be available under Section 10.1, in each case regardless of the applicability of the Threshold or the Indemnification Cap, the Indemnified Buyer Party shall promptly notify each of the Sellers of such claim, demand, Action or proceeding by delivering to each of the Sellers a written notice (the “Claim Notice”), (i) stating that the Indemnified Buyer Party is asserting a claim for indemnification and/or that Losses were incurred which are subject to indemnification under Section 10.1 (irrespective of the Threshold or Indemnification Cap), (ii) containing a reasonably detailed description of the nature and basis of such claim and (iii) setting forth in reasonable detail and with reasonable specificity its estimate of the amount of monetary damages and other Losses reasonably expected to be incurred in conjunction with such claim for which indemnification is available under Section 10.1 (taking into consideration, among other limitations, to the extent applicable, the Threshold and the Indemnification Cap), but such estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim, demand, Action or proceeding. Each Seller shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Buyer Party, (A) whether or not such Seller disputes its liability to the Indemnified Buyer Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (B) notwithstanding any such dispute, whether or not such Seller desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Buyer Party against such claim, demand, Action or proceeding. (subject only to the proviso in subsection (b) below).

(b) If such claim, demand, Action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, Action or proceeding, the Sellers will have the right at their expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Buyer Party; provided, however, that if the third-party claim relates to conduct that occurred both before and after the Closing, then notwithstanding subsection (a) above the Sellers and the Indemnified Buyer Party shall agree to share in the defense pursuant to a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement. The Indemnified Buyer Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third party claim, demand, Action or proceeding in connection with any such third party claim, demand, Action or proceeding, and the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession. No such third party claim, demand, Action or proceeding shall be settled by the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Buyer Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

All claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Seller Party under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved under the procedures set forth above substituting in the appropriate place “Indemnified Seller Party” for “Indemnified Buyer Party” and variations thereof and “LSI and Buyer” for “Sellers”.

Section 10.4 Provisions Regarding Indemnity.

(a) None of the Indemnified Buyer Parties nor the Indemnified Seller Parties will have a right to indemnification under this Agreement unless and until the aggregate indemnifiable amount to which all such parties shall be entitled to exceeds $100,000.00 (the “Threshold”), at which time the indemnifying party or parties shall only be responsible for the amount in excess of the Threshold, provided however, the Threshold shall not be applicable to any claim for Losses incurred and the Indemnified Buyer Parties or the Indemnified Seller Parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to indemnification beginning at dollar one, regardless of the amount of the claim for Losses, for either (i) fraud, (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.7, Section 3.8 (except for the last sentence of Section 3.8(c)), Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, or (iii) any claim for indemnification brought pursuant to Section 10.1(f) (or Section 10.1(g) to the extent arising out of or related to an indemnification claim brought pursuant to Section 10.1(f)).

(b) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be net of (i) amounts recovered either any Indemnified Buyer Party, or any Indemnified Seller Party, as the case may be (such party being an “Indemnified Party”), pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third Person, (ii) insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Losses, and (iii) an amount equal to the present value of the Tax benefit, if any, attributable to such Losses. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any indemnification payment required under this Article X is determined after payment by LSI or Buyer, or any or all of the Sellers, as the case may be, of any amount otherwise required to be paid as indemnification pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Party shall repay, promptly after such determination, any amount that LSI or Buyer, or any or all of the Sellers, as the case may be, would not have had to pay pursuant hereto had such determination been made at the time of such payment. Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any consequential damages for which any claim may be made against any of the other parties hereto for indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) This Article X shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any of the Indemnified Seller Parties or Indemnified Buyer Parties, as the case may be, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Real Estate Purchase Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct on the part of any Company, any Shareholder, LSI or Buyer.

(d) Notwithstanding the decision of any party to complete the Closing, each party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. Each party shall be entitled to assert any right of indemnification under this Article X after the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 with respect to any dispute, claim, proceeding or action pending prior to such termination for which indemnification is available under this Article X and such party shall be able to continue to have the right to be indemnified with respect thereto after such termination date. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or any other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

Section 10.5 Payment. Upon the determination of the liability for indemnification, the appropriate party or parties shall pay to the others, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder. If the Indemnified Buyer Party is not paid in full for any such claim pursuant to the foregoing provisions promptly after the obligation of the other parties to indemnify has been determined in accordance herewith, it shall have the right, notwithstanding any other rights that it may have against any other Person, to setoff the unpaid amount of any such claim against any amounts owed by it or its Affiliates to the Sellers under any agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; provided, however that such right of set-off shall not apply to the obligation of Buyer to pay the Base Salary under any Employment Agreement. Upon the payment in full of any claim, either by setoff or otherwise, the entity making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Buyer Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

ARTICLE XI
TAX MATTERS.

Section 11.1 General Tax Matters. The Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party or parties and at the requesting party’s out-of-pocket expense, in connection with the filing of any Tax returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention of all books and records relating to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies for a period of six (6) years after the Closing and (upon the other party’s request and expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 11.2 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including recording fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Real Estate Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid one-half (1/2) by the Sellers and one-half (1/2) by Buyer when due, and Sellers 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 (including recording fees), if required by applicable Law. The expense of preparing and making such filing or filings shall be borne by the Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be construed to make LSI or Buyer liable for or obligated to pay any income Taxes of any Company or any Shareholder.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 12.1 Termination. Anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated by written notice of termination at any time before the Closing Date only as follows:

(a) by mutual consent of the Sellers and LSI and Buyer;

(b) by LSI and Buyer, upon written notice to the Sellers given at any time after the Outside Closing Date or such later date as shall have been specified in a writing authorized on behalf of Sellers (on the one hand) and LSI and Buyer (on the other hand) if all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 have not been met; or

(c) by the Sellers, upon written notice to LSI and Buyer given at any time after the Outside Closing Date (or such later date as shall have been specified in writing authorized on behalf of the Sellers on the one hand and LSI and Buyer on the other hand) if all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 have not been met.

In the event of the termination and abandonment hereof prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.1, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any Liability on the part of any of the parties or their directors or officers or shareholders in respect of this Agreement, unless the termination was the result of the representations and warranties of a party being materially incorrect when made or the material breach of such party of a covenant hereunder in which event the party whose representations and warranties were incorrect or who breached such covenant shall be liable to the other party for all costs and expenses of the other party in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and auditors.

Section 12.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, LSI, Buyer and the Shareholders shall each pay their own expenses and the Shareholders shall pay the expenses of the Companies incidental to the preparation of this Agreement, the carrying out of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether such expenses of the Companies may have been incurred prior to Closing or after Closing. To the extent that such transaction related expenses incurred by the Shareholders and/or the Companies have been paid by any of the Companies prior to Closing, the aggregate dollar amount of such payments shall be paid by Shareholders to Buyer as reimbursement for the depletion of the Company’s cash caused by such Company’s payment of the transaction related expenses of Shareholders and/or the Companies prior to Closing; provided however, Buyer does hereby agree to assume (and to pay at Closing) up to a maximum amount of $180,000.00 of ADL Technology’s and ADL Engineering’s legal fees and expenses incurred with respect to the transaction as additional Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets.

Section 12.3 Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by a written instrument duly executed by such party.
