Illustration.

Section 3.3

Earn-Out. The record holders of Company Common Stock, determined on an As-Converted Basis, and the Bonus Grantees shall be entitled to share in an earn-out payment from Parent as follows:

(c)

If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers written notice to Parent under Section 3.3(b) of rejection of Parent’s determination of Total Revenue or gross margin for the Business for the 2015 calendar year, which notice must contain reasonable details of the basis for such rejection, including (if reasonably practicable) the Stockholders’ Representative’s proposed recalculation of the amount of Total Revenue or gross margin in dispute, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such notice) confer, or cause their respective Representatives to confer, with each other with a view to resolving such dispute. If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent or their respective Representatives are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Stockholders’ Representative’s notice of rejection to Parent, either the Stockholders’ Representative or Parent may refer such matter to the Independent Accountants for review and final determination of (and only of) the Total Revenue and/or gross margin to the extent they remain in dispute. The Independent Accountants may request of the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent such documents and information as may be necessary or appropriate for proper determination of such dispute, and such parties shall cooperate reasonably to promptly satisfy any such request. The determination by the Independent Accountants of the disputed Total Revenue and/or gross margin shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, absent manifest error. The costs of the Independent Accountants in undertaking such review and determination shall be shared equally by the Stockholders (administered through the Stockholders’ Representative) and Parent.

(d)

In the event that (i) Total Revenue for the Business for the 2015 calendar equals or exceeds U.S.$8,500,000 and (ii) gross margin for the Business for the 2015 calendar year exceeds seventy percent (70%) of the Total Revenue for the Business for the 2015 calendar year, the record holders of Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time, as determined on an As-Converted Basis, and the Bonus Grantees shall be entitled to receive an aggregate cash payment (the “Earn-Out Payment”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Total Revenue for the Business for the 2015 calendar year exceeds U.S.$6,982,596. Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the amount of the Earn-Out Payment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3, Parent shall make a cash payment to the record holders of Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time, as determined on an As-Converted Basis, and the Bonus Grantees (the aggregate share allocated to the Bonus Grantees not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Earn-Out Payment, as contemplated by Section 6.13), pro rata in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and the Tranche Four Payment Amount.

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3(d), if Parent causes or permits to be sold substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to December 31, 2015, the Earn-Out Payment shall be calculated based on the Total Revenue and gross margin of the Business for the fully completed calendar months in 2015 immediately preceding the date of completion of such sale, and the U.S.$6,982,596 annual Revenue target amount referred to in Section 3.3(d) shall be reduced pro rata to reflect such number of fully completed calendar months.

Section 3.4

Upon surrender to Parent (or Parent’s counsel or transfer agent, as directed in the Letter of Transmittal) of each such certificate held by such Stockholder for cancellation, together with such Letter of Transmittal duly completed and executed, and such other documents, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable portion of the Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration and Earn-Out Payment, without interest, into which such Company Shares theretofore represented by such certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c), and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(b)

No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

The calculations in the foregoing sentence shall be performed using the methodology and presented in the format utilized in the Closing Memorandum. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of the Closing Statement to review Parent’s determinations set forth in the Closing Statement. Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to the books and records of the Company to the extent relevant to verifying the contents of the Closing Statement. Upon completion of its review (and in any event within the required thirty (30)-day period), the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Parent written notice of the Stockholders’ Representative’s acceptance or rejection of Parent’s determination of the Merger Consideration Adjustment. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver any such written notice to Parent within such thirty (30)-day period, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be irrevocably deemed to have accepted Parent’s determination of the Merger Consideration Adjustment, in which event Parent’s determination of the Merger Consideration Adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

(b)

If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent or their respective Representatives are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Stockholders’ Representative’s notice of rejection to Parent, either the Stockholders’ Representative or Parent may refer such matter to the Independent Accountants for review and final determination of (and only of) the aspects of the Merger Consideration Adjustment that remain in dispute. The Independent Accountants may request of the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent such documents and information as may be necessary or appropriate for proper determination of such dispute, and such parties shall cooperate reasonably to promptly satisfy any such request. The determination by the Independent Accountants of the disputed aspects of the Merger Consideration Adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, absent manifest error. The costs of the Independent Accountants in undertaking such review and determination shall be shared equally by the Stockholders (administered through the Stockholders’ Representative) and Parent.

(i)

if the Merger Consideration Adjustment, as finally determined, exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment, then (A) with respect to any issuance of Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.2 prior to such final determination, Parent shall issue to the Stockholders (other than any Dissenting Stockholder), pro rata in accordance with the distribution priorities set forth in the Company’s Charter (and as contemplated by Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.2), such additional number of Parent Common Shares as are necessary to provide each Stockholder with the correct number of Parent Common Shares that such Stockholder would have received if the final determination of the Merger Consideration Adjustment had been made prior to Closing, and (B) with respect to any scheduled issuance of Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.2 that has not yet occurred, such issuance of Parent Common Shares shall be calculated based on the Merger Consideration Adjustment, as finally determined; and

Section 3.10

Stockholders’ Representative.

(a)

Appointment. By virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite vote of the Stockholders, each Stockholder (other than a Dissenting Stockholder) shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC to act as the authorized representative of the Stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) with respect to all matters requiring any action or decision by the Stockholders, and by virtue of executing a Bonus Grant Agreement or the Fuse Settlement Agreement (as applicable), each Bonus Grantee and Fuse Holdings shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint the Stockholders’ Representative as such Person’s authorized representative, in each case with respect to (x) all matters related to Parent Common Shares issuable to them or amounts payable to them under this Agreement, any Bonus Grant Agreement or the Fuse Settlement Agreement, and (y) all indemnification matters under Section 6.8 and ARTICLE VIII. The Stockholders’ Representative shall thereupon be authorized to be agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Stockholder, each Bonus Grantee and Fuse Holdings for all purposes described above, including, as applicable, to (i) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and any other documents, instruments and/or agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) make any claim (including any indemnity claim) against Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation on behalf of the Company Indemnified Parties (or any of them) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) act as the Company Indemnifying Parties’ agent for the receipt of any notice of claim (including any indemnity claim) by any Parent Indemnified Party, (iv) give and receive on behalf of the Stockholders, Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings any and all other notices from or to any other Stockholder, any other Bonus Grantee or Fuse Holdings under this Agreement, and (v) request, demand or initiate any Proceeding or other dispute resolution measure with respect to any claim or dispute arising in connection with this Agreement, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises with respect to any such claim or dispute, and to take all other actions that are either necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative may be replaced by the Stockholders upon the written approval of the record holders representing a majority in interest of the Stockholders based on their respective ownership of Company Common Stock immediately before Closing, calculated on an As-Converted Basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to resign to the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days following delivery of such written notice, or (B) the appointment of a successor by the record holders of a majority in interest of the Stockholders based on their respective rights to the Common Merger Consideration. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative. The death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Stockholder, any Bonus Grantee or Fuse Holdings shall not terminate the authority and agency of the Stockholders’ Representative provided by this Section 3.10(a) with respect to such Stockholder, such Bonus Grantee or Fuse Holdings.

(b)

Limitation of Liability. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders’ Representative except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts, the costs of which shall be shared pro rata by the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings in accordance with the Indemnification Liability Allocation. The Stockholders’ Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold the Stockholders’ Representative harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred, in accordance with the Indemnification Liability Allocation; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) from any other amounts distributable to the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings under this Agreement in accordance with the Indemnification Liability Allocation; provided, that while this Section 3.10(b) allows the Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund and any other distributable amounts, this does not relieve the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees or otherwise. The foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.7 or Section 10.8, shall constitute a decision of the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings (as applicable) and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings.

(c)

Reliance. Each party hereto, each Stockholder, each Bonus Grantee and Fuse Holdings shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication or instruction given or other action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and/or Fuse Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance on a communication or other instruction from the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders, the Bonus Grantees and Fuse Holdings (or any of them). The Stockholders (including any representative thereof) shall promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Corporation in writing of any replacement of the Stockholders’ Representative, including the updated contact information for any replacement Stockholders’ Representative. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to assume that any such notice received by them is valid and correct, without any duty or obligation to investigate whether such replacement Stockholders’ Representative was properly appointed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any Liability to any Stockholder, any Bonus Grantee or Fuse Holdings for any payment made to or at the written direction of the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of any such Stockholder, such Bonus Grantee or Fuse Holdings provided such payment is made in accordance with such directions.

(d)

Expense Fund. Upon the Closing, the Company will wire to the Stockholders’ Representative an amount of $25,000 (the “Expense Fund”), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholders’ Representative for, any third party expenses incurred by it in connection with its duties and obligations under this Section 3.10. The Stockholders and Bonus Grantees will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative will hold the Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds, will not use the Expense Fund for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make the Expense Fund available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholders’ Representative shall return the unused balance of the Expense Fund (if any) to the Surviving Corporation, which the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to retain for its sole account. The Stockholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and is not responsible for any Tax reporting or withholding with respect thereto. If any Tax reporting (other than Tax reporting by the Stockholders or any of their respective upstream owners) is required with respect to the ultimate distribution of any balance of the Expense Fund, then the Stockholders’ Representative will provide to Parent or its designated agent, upon request, information regarding the amounts distributed to each Stockholder, to be used by Parent or its agent in completing any such required Tax reporting. For Tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Stockholders at the time of Closing.

Section 6.3

Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents of all Governmental Authorities and other Persons necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.4

Fees and Expenses.

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and other fees and expenses of Third Parties and any other amount paid or payable to any Person in connection with the satisfaction of any condition of Closing hereunder except for any amount that Parent or Merger Sub has specifically agreed to be liable and pay for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Transaction Expenses”), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Transaction Expenses shall include all expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and in connection with his administrative duties hereunder, all of which, to the extent incurred on or before the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Company at or before Closing, and to the extent incurred after the Closing Date, shall be paid directly by the Stockholders. For added certainty, except for any Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses taken into account in the Merger Consideration Adjustment and except as provided in Section 6.4(b), after the Closing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary shall have any Liability for any Company Transaction Expense not paid by the Company or any Subsidiary at or before Closing.

(b)

The parties acknowledge and agree that all Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, to the extent not taken into account in the Merger Consideration Adjustment, shall be for the sole account of the Stockholders and shall be paid following the Closing Date out of available funds of the Surviving Corporation or directly by Parent in accordance with this Section 6.4(b). Parent may (i) set-off all or any portion of any Unpaid Company Transaction Expense not taken into account in the Merger Consideration Adjustment (i) against amounts otherwise payable by Parent to the Stockholders and Bonus Grantees under this Agreement (including any Earn-Out Payment, including the amount thereof paid as Bonus Payment), and/or (ii) by way of cancellation of a portion of the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and/or the Tranche Four Payment Amount. If Parent elects to act pursuant to its rights under the foregoing clause (ii), then the Company Indemnifying Parties shall, automatically and without any further action required by Parent or the Company Indemnifying Parties, be deemed to have forfeited to Parent such number of Parent Common Shares necessary to fully reimburse and satisfy such Unpaid Company Transaction Expense. For the purposes of any forfeiture of Parent Common Shares by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), such Parent Common Shares shall be valued at the same per share price that such Parent Common Shares were valued at for purposes of determining the number of Parent Common Shares included in the Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration and the Bonus Shares.

Section 6.5

Public Announcements. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules, any press release or other publicity prior to the Closing Date concerning the parties’ entry into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the terms hereof) shall be made only with the joint consent of Parent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties’ agreement to cooperate jointly on any such press release or publicity may not delay Parent’s issuance of any disclosure required under applicable securities Laws or the regulations of any stock exchange on which Parent’s stock is listed for trading, nor shall such agreement affect Parent’s determination as to what substantive content should be included in any such disclosure in order for Parent to comply with such applicable securities Laws and stock exchange regulations. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall restrict the right of any party hereto to disclose the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (i) to authorized Representatives of such party, (ii) following the Closing, in the financial statements of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (including the notes thereto), and (iii) to any party’s Affiliates, stockholders, auditors, attorneys or financing sources.

Section 6.6

Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Person against whom such Taxes are assessed or otherwise payable under applicable Law.

Section 6.7

Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a)

Parent, the Company and (after the Closing) the Stockholders’ Representative shall, and following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any such party, in connection with any filing of Tax Returns, audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, or any other Tax matters relating to the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information relevant to any such Tax, Tax Return, audit or other Proceeding. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party (with any such expenses payable by the Stockholders’ Representative being paid by the Stockholders).

(b)

Except as otherwise required by Law, or with the written consent of Parent, the Company (prior to the Closing) and the Stockholder’s Representative (after the Closing) covenant and agree that neither of them shall file or amend any Tax Return, file any claim for refund, change any method of accounting (or Tax accounting), surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company or any Subsidiary, enter into any closing agreement, settle or compromise any federal, state, local or foreign Tax Liability or claim regarding the Company or any of its assets, or make or change any Tax election with respect to any Tax period, in each case that may result in any increased Tax Liability of, or loss of Tax benefits by the Company or, after the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary. Following the Closing, except to the extent required by any applicable Law, Parent shall not, nor shall it permit the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary to, amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Stockholder’s Representative if such amendment, modification or change could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification claim under Section 6.8 or ARTICLE VIII.

(c)

To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause all Tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company or any Subsidiary to be terminated on or before the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(d)

To the extent applicable, upon request by Parent, the parties hereto shall provide each other with the necessary information permitting such other party to file a report as may be required pursuant to Code § 6043 or § 6043A, or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 6.8

Tax Related Indemnification; Pre-Closing Taxes; Straddle Periods. To the extent both the provisions of this Section 6.8 and ARTICLE VIII apply, the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall be applied so as to expand the scope of the Stockholders indemnification obligations under ARTICLE VIII; and to the extent there is any directly conflict, then the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall control.

(a)

Indemnification. The Company Indemnifying Parties shall severally (and not jointly), in accordance with the Indemnification Liability Allocation, indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties from and against, without duplication, on an after-Tax basis, all Losses incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to, in connection with, or arising from:

(i)

any and all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary is liable, in each instance for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and the portion of any Straddle Period (determined below) that ends on (and includes) the Closing Date, provided that any such claim for such Taxes is made within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and/or

(ii)

all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any Subsidiary (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation; and any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any Subsidiary as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; and/or

(iii)

any breach of any representation set forth in Section 4.12, Section 4.13, or Section 4.23(c), which representations and warranties shall survive for the ninety (90)-day period following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

The Company Indemnifying Parties shall severally (and not jointly), in accordance with the Indemnification Liability Allocation, indemnify the affected Parent Indemnified Parties for any Losses contemplated above pursuant to this Section 6.8 within five (5) days after payment of such amounts by any Parent Indemnified Party or the incurrence of such Losses by any Parent Indemnified Party; provided, that, (A) the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for reimbursement only to the extent that such Losses exceed the amount, if any, reserved therefor (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the face of the Interim Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto), and (B) the Company Indemnifying Parties shall have no obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties against any Losses (1) resulting from (x) any transaction caused by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary occurring after the Closing but on the Closing Date outside the ordinary course of business (other than as explicitly contemplated by this Agreement); or (y) any breach by Parent of its agreements in Section 6.7(b), or (2) (x) included in the calculation of Net Working Capital or (y) resulting from an election by Parent or the Surviving Corporation under Code § 338(g) or any similar provision of applicable Law in respect of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(b)

Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement (including any Tax Liabilities included in the calculation of Net Working Capital) whenever it is necessary to determine the amount of Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period (x) commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending on (and including) the Closing Date, and (y) commencing the day after the Closing Date, shall be determined:

(i)

in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any distribution, sale or other transfer or assignment of property, by assuming that the Company or any Subsidiary had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of the Closing Date and there was a closing of the books of the Company or such Subsidiary as of the end of such date (and for such purpose the taxable period of any partnership, joint venture or other pass through entity in which the Company or any Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (e.g., depreciation deductions) shall be apportioned on a time basis;

(ii)

in the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this clause shall be computed by reference to the level of such items as of the close of business on the Closing Date; and

(iii)

in the case of Taxes not described in clause (i) or (ii) above, which Taxes are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the level of any item, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period determined in clause (i) above, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

Section 6.9

Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns for Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date; Tax Contests.

(a)

Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and each Subsidiary that are to be filed after the Closing Date. With respect to any such Tax Return for any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date (each a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”), not later than twenty (20) days prior to the statutory due date for the filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (or, if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date), Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a copy of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return and Parent shall consider in good faith the reasonable comments of the Stockholder’s Representative. However, Parent shall have sole discretion as to the contents of each Pre-Closing Tax Return, subject only to the requirements of this Agreement and applicable Law.

(b)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.7, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative upon receipt by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent (including the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date) of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period for which any of the Company Indemnifying Parties may be liable under this Agreement (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). Following the Closing, Parent shall control the conduct of any such Tax Matter; provided, however, that Parent shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Matter that may increase the Tax liability of the Company Indemnifying Parties or that would give rise to an indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent shall keep the Stockholders’ Representative fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter. Parent shall, in good faith, allow the Stockholders’ Representative to make comments to Parent regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding, provided that Parent shall at all times have sole and exclusive discretion as to such conduct and positions taken, subject to compliance with the Code and other applicable Law.

Section 6.10

Survival of Tax Provisions. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this ARTICLE VI relating to any Tax matter shall survive and remain in effect until the ninetieth (90^th) day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such Tax matter, including any extensions thereof (or if such date is not a Business Day, the close of the next Business Day). Consistent with the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this ARTICLE VI relating to any Tax matter shall survive the death, corporate reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation of the Stockholders, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary.

Section 6.11

Prohibited Negotiations. From and after the date hereof and until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company shall not, and shall not cause, encourage or assist any Stockholder or Affiliate thereof to, entertain, solicit, engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person or group (other than Parent or its Representatives) concerning any merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s assets, sale of capital stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 6.12

Required Stockholder Approval and Notification. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, in accordance with the DGCL and the Company’s Charter Documents, shall obtain the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger (collectively, the “Company Proposals”) by the Stockholders holding not less than (i) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Special Voting Stock and Company Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Company Proposals, voting together as a single class on an As-Converted Basis, (ii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Company Proposals, voting together as a separate class, (iii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Series BB Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Company Proposals, voting together as a separate class, (iv) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Series CC Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Company Proposals, voting together as a separate class, and (v) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Series DD Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Company Proposals, voting together as a separate class, (all of such approvals of the Company Proposals, the “Required Stockholder Approvals”).

Section 6.13

Bonus Arrangement.

(a)

In order to reward those key employees of the Company and its applicable Subsidiaries listed in Section 6.13(a) of the Disclosure Letter for their past work with the Company and to further incentivize such employees to remain employed with the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries at least through the end of the Q4 Period, subject to each such employee executing and delivering a Bonus Grant Agreement (as defined below) (each such employee who executes and delivers a Bonus Grant Agreement being a “Bonus Grantee”), the Bonus Grantees shall be entitled to receive in the aggregate (i) up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Parent Common Share Consideration issued under the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount (including any adjustment thereto under Section 3.2(d)(v)), the Tranche Three Payment Amount (including any adjustment thereto under Section 3.2(e)(v)), and the Tranche Four Payment Amount (such Parent Common Shares, as issued pursuant to the Bonus Grant Agreement, being the “Bonus Shares”), and (ii) up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Earn-Out Payment (such portion of the Earn-out Payment, as adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, being the “Bonus Payments”, and such overall bonus arrangement being the “Bonus Arrangement”). Each Bonus Grantee’s pro rata share of the Bonus Shares and Bonus Payments is as set forth in Section 6.13(a) of the Disclosure Letter.

(b)

At the Closing, subject to the cooperation of each Bonus Grantee, Parent and either the Surviving Corporation or the applicable Subsidiary shall enter into a written agreement in such form as shall be determined by Parent (a “Bonus Grant Agreement”) with each Bonus Grantee for the grant to such Bonus Grantee of his/her right to receive the applicable portion of Bonus Shares and Bonus Payment, which Bonus Grant Agreement shall set forth the terms and conditions under which each such Bonus Grantee may receive his/her Bonus Shares and Bonus Payment, including the following:

(i)

up to the aggregate portion of the Bonus Shares and Bonus Payment that such Bonus Grantee is eligible to receive;

(ii)

that the Bonus Shares issuable to such Bonus Grantee shall be issued at the same times and in the same proportions as the issuances of the Parent Common Share Consideration to Stockholders out of the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount, and the Tranche Four Payment Amount, and shall be subject to proportionate Revenue-related adjustments as contemplated in Section 3.2 (as if the Bonus Shares were being issued as Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration);

(iii)

that the Bonus Payment issuable to such Bonus Grantee shall be paid at the same time as the payment of the Earn-Out Payment to the applicable Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv)

that such Bonus Grantee shall have several indemnification liability to the Parent Indemnified Parties in accordance with ARTICLE VIII, which may entitle Parent to set off a proportionate amount of any Losses under any indemnification claim against Bonus Shares and/or Bonus Payment not yet issued or paid to such Bonus Grantee;

(v)

that in connection with such Bonus Grantee’s indemnification liability under ARTICLE VIII, a proportionate number of the Bonus Shares issuable to such Bonus Grantee as part of or in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and the Tranche Four Payment Amount (as determined relative to all Parent Common Shares issuable as part of or in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and the Tranche Four Payment Amount) shall be withheld and not issued by Parent, shall be included in the Holdback Shares, and shall be subject to set-off and cancelation by Parent in accordance with Section 8.10;

(vi)

that such Bonus Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any Bonus Shares not yet issued to him/her and any Bonus Payment that may be payable to him/her if his/her employment with the Surviving Corporation or any applicable Subsidiary is terminated for cause (as defined in the applicable Bonus Grant Agreement) or if such Bonus Grantee resigns his/her employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary (such that he/she is no longer employed by the Company or any Subsidiary) prior to the scheduled issue or payment date for such Bonus Shares and Bonus Payment;

(vii)

that, in order to pay (A) the income Taxes payable by such Bonus Grantee on his/her receipt of such Bonus Shares, and (B) such Bonus Grantee’s applicable share of all payroll, employee, employment, withholding, social security (or similar Tax, including FICA), unemployment, disability, and other related Taxes payable or withholdable with respect to all such Bonus Shares (together, clauses (A) and (B), the “Bonus Share Tax Amount”), at the option of such Bonus Grantee, (x) on the date of issuance of any Bonus Shares to such Bonus Grantee, such Bonus Grantee may pay Parent, via certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Bonus Share Tax Amount, or (y) Parent shall be authorized, immediately upon the issuance of any Bonus Shares to such Bonus Grantee, on such Bonus Grantee’s behalf, to withhold and sell that number of such Bonus Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange at the prevailing market price sufficient to cover the Bonus Share Tax Amount and any sales commission or other costs of processing such sale, and to retain the proceeds of such sale to pay the Bonus Share Tax Amount any such commissions and other costs;

(viii)

that the Bonus Payment shall be subject to applicable withholdings for (x) income Taxes payable by such Bonus Grantee on his/her receipt of such Bonus Payment, and (y) such Bonus Grantee’s applicable share of all payroll, employee, employment, withholding, social security (or similar Tax, including FICA), unemployment, disability, and other related Taxes payable or withholdable with respect to such Bonus Payment; and

(ix)

other than as specifically as contemplated under Clause (iv) above, that such Bonus Grantee shall be prohibited (A) from effecting any offer or contract to sell, sale (including any short sale), assignment, transfer, pledge, grant, loan or other distribution of Bonus Shares issued to him/her in connection with the Tranche One Payment Amount for a period of four (4) months running from the date of such issuance, and from effecting any offer to sell, sale (including any short sale), transfer or other distribution of Bonus Shares issued to him/her in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount or the Tranche Four Payment Amount for a period of six (6) months running from the date of such issuance.

(c)

For greater certainty, no Person designated in Section 6.13(a) of the Disclosure Letter as a Bonus Grantee shall have the right to receive any Bonus Shares or Bonus Payment or otherwise be treated as a Bonus Grantee in accordance with this Agreement unless such Person executes and delivers to Parent a Bonus Grant Agreement.

(d)

To the extent a Bonus Grantee forfeits his or her right to receive Bonus Shares and/or his/her Bonus Payment, the forfeited Bonus Shares and/or Bonus Payment that such Bonus Grantee would otherwise have been eligible to receive shall be distributed to the Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the distribution priorities set forth in the Company’s Charter (and as contemplated by Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2 and Section 3.3).

(e)

So long as it would not result in adverse Tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Bonus Grantee subject to taxation under the laws of the United States, if Parent determines that it is unable to issue Bonus Shares to a Bonus Grantee due to the inability to apply an applicable U.S. federal and/or state securities law exemption for the issuance of such Bonus Shares, then in lieu of Parent’s issuance of such Bonus Shares, the Surviving Corporation or Subsidiary that employees such Bonus Grantee may pay such Bonus Grantee a cash amount (net of applicable tax and other withholdings) equal to the value of such Bonus Shares, as determined by reference to the closing price of Parent Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date that such Bonus Shares would have been issued to such Bonus Grantee.

(f)

It is intended that each payment provided under this Section 6.13 is a separate “payment” for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). It is further intended that each payment under this Section 6.13 satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A of the Code (and any U.S. state law of similar effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”). To the extent not so exempt, it is intended that payments under this Section 6.13 comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A) (applicable to “transaction-based compensation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary, Parent or any Affiliate or successor thereof be responsible for or have any obligation to reimburse a Bonus Grantee for any Taxes that may be imposed on such Bonus Grantee under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 6.14

Satisfaction of Fee Due to Fuse Holdings. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Company owes three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) to Fuse Holdings (Canada), Inc. (“Fuse Holdings”) as a fee for business advisory services provided by Fuse Holdings to the Company prior to the date hereof. In lieu of such fee being paid by the Company prior to Closing or otherwise being taken into account in the Merger Consideration Adjustment, the parties agree that, subject to Parent, the Company and Fuse Holdings entering into a written agreement with respect to the provisions of this Section 6.14 prior to Closing (the “Fuse Settlement Agreement”), such shall be fully satisfied and paid through the allocation and issuance to Fuse Holdings of up to 454,547 of the Parent Common Shares included in (and taken from) the Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration (the “Fuse Shares”), subject to the following provisions:

(i)

the Fuse Shares shall be issued at the same times and in the same proportions as the issuances of the Parent Common Share Consideration to Stockholders out of the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount, and the Tranche Four Payment Amount, and shall be subject to proportionate Revenue-related adjustments as contemplated in Section 3.2 (as if the Fuse Shares were being issued as Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration);

(ii)

Fuse Holdings shall have several indemnification liability to the Parent Indemnified Parties in accordance with ARTICLE VIII, which may entitle Parent to set off a proportionate amount of any Losses under any indemnification claim against Fuse Shares not yet issued to Fuse Holdings;

(iii)

in connection with Fuse Holdings’ indemnification liability under ARTICLE VIII, a proportionate number of the Fuse Shares issuable as part of or in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and the Tranche Four Payment Amount (as determined relative to all Parent Common Shares issuable as part of or in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount and the Tranche Four Payment Amount) shall be withheld and not issued by Parent, shall be included in the Holdback Shares, and shall be subject to set-off and cancelation by Parent in accordance with Section 8.10; and

(iv)

Fuse Holdings shall be prohibited (A) from effecting any offer or contract to sell, sale (including any short sale), assignment, transfer, pledge, grant, loan or other distribution of the Fuse Shares issued in connection with the Tranche One Payment Amount for a period of four (4) months running from the date of such issuance, and from effecting any offer to sell, sale (including any short sale), transfer or other distribution of the Fuse Shares issued in connection with the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount or the Tranche Four Payment Amount for a period of six (6) months running from the date of such issuance.

Section 6.15

Lock-Up Period. Each Stockholder receiving Parent Common Shares as part of the Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration (including any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 3.9(c)(i)) may not, during the applicable Lock-Up Period (as defined below), (i) offer or contract to sell, sell, pledge, assign, transfer, grant, lend, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any such Parent Common Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Parent Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of such Parent Common Shares, in cash or otherwise, nor may any such Stockholder publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any such Parent Common Shares.

Limitations on Parent’s Indemnity Obligations.

Section 8.7

Procedure for Third Party Claims.

(a)

Promptly after receipt by Parent of notice of the assertion of a Third Party Claim against it or any other Parent Indemnified Party for which the Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2, Parent shall give prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Stockholders’ Representative, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the subject matter of the Third Party Claim, the amount of the Losses in question (to the extent known or estimable by Parent) and any other material or pertinent facts regarding the Third Party Claim (to the extent known by Parent). Promptly after receipt by any Company Indemnified Party of notice of the assertion of a Third Party Claim against it for which the Company Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3, such Company Indemnified Party shall be required to give prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim to Parent through the Stockholders’ Representative, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the subject matter of the Third Party Claim, the amount of the Losses in question (to the extent known or estimable by such Company Indemnified Party) and any other material or pertinent facts regarding the Third Party Claim (to the extent known by such Company Indemnified Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative to provide such prompt written notice to the other (as applicable) shall not relieve the Company Indemnifying Parties or Parent (as applicable) of its or their indemnification Liability under this ARTICLE VIII, except to the extent that the Company Indemnifying Parties or Parent (as applicable) can demonstrate that the defense of such Third Party Claim has been prejudiced by such failure to give such prompt written notice.

(b)

For purposes of the following procedural provisions of this Section 8.7 and Section 8.8, the terms “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnified Party” when referring to one or more of the Company Indemnifying Parties or Company Indemnified Parties shall be the Stockholders’ Representative, but the Stockholders’ Representative, acting as the Indemnifying Party for purposes of such procedural provisions, shall not be liable for the payment of any Losses due from the Company Indemnifying Parties.

(c)

If an Indemnified Party gives written notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.7(a) of the assertion of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, subject to Section 8.7(d), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it reasonably and diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effectuated by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or of the rights of any Person, (B) an express condition thereof is the release of the Indemnified Party by each Third Party claimant from all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and (C) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, to the Indemnifying Party’s exclusion and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, to fully assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7, the Indemnified Party may require that the Indemnifying Party not assume or maintain control of, or actively participate in (in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall not assume, maintain control of or actively participate in) the defense of, any Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party would be inappropriate, (ii) the Indemnified Party requests, and the Indemnifying Party fails to provide, reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and to provide indemnification with respect thereto, or (iii) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that the Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates or Representatives other than as a result of monetary damages for which it or they would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In any of these events, the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim for the purposes of this Agreement without its prior written consent to such compromise or settlement (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e)

With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII, (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties hereto agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate reasonably and in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

(f)

With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII, each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information of the other party and the attorney-client and work-product privileges of the other Party. In connection therewith, each party agrees that (i) it shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

Section 8.8

Other Claims. A claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party (which, in the case of any such claim by a Parent Indemnified Party, shall be asserted by written notice by Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the subject matter of such claim, the amount of Losses with respect to such claim (to the extent known or estimable by the Indemnified Party) and any other material or pertinent facts regarding such claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party), and shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party after such notice, together with satisfactory proof of Losses or other documents evidencing the basis of the Losses sought, are received by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.9

No Circular Recovery. No Company Indemnifying Party may make any indemnity claim against Parent (or any other claim against the Surviving Corporation) (i) by reason of the fact that such Company Indemnifying Party was a Stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent or other Representative of the Company or any Subsidiary or was serving as such for another Person at the request of the Company, any Subsidiary or such Person with respect to any indemnity claim brought by a Parent Indemnified Party against the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, or (ii) in respect of any indemnification or other claim made by the Stockholders’ Representative against any Company Indemnified Party (including under Section 3.10(b)). With respect to any indemnity claim brought by a Parent Indemnified Party against any Company Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, each Company Indemnifying Party expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Surviving Corporation with respect to any amount owed by such Company Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 8.10

Satisfaction of Claims by Set-Off.

(a)

Parent, for itself or on behalf of any other Parent Indemnified Party, shall set-off any amount to which it or any other Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to receive from the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 6.8 or Section 8.2 (A) against any amount otherwise payable by Parent under this Agreement and/or any Bonus Grant Agreement (as applicable) to any Stockholder or Bonus Grantee (including any Earn-Out Payment or Bonus Payment), and not yet paid to the Stockholders and/or the Bonus Grantees, and/or (B) against the applicable portion of the Adjusted Gross Merger Consideration, Bonus Shares and Fuse Shares (as applicable) not yet issued to the Company Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that with respect to any claim for indemnification by a Parent Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(g), Parent may only set-off the amount of Losses in respect of such claim against the Holdback Shares. To the extent Parent acts pursuant to its rights under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10(a) regarding the setoff of claims against Parent Common Shares (including Bonus Shares, Fuse Shares and Holdback Shares) otherwise issuable under this Agreement, then the affected Company Indemnifying Parties shall, automatically and without any further action required by Parent or any of the Company Indemnifying Parties, be deemed to have forfeited to Parent such number of Parent Common Shares necessary to fully satisfy such set-off amount claimed by Parent.

(b)

To the extent that (i) any indemnification claim by a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.8 or Section 8.2, or the amount of Losses claimed thereunder, is disputed by any Company Indemnifying Party (whether through the Stockholders’ Representative or otherwise), as determined by written notice of any such dispute having been delivered to Parent, or (ii) the amount of Losses under any such indemnification claim cannot be fully and finally quantified as of the date on which Parent intends to exercise its set-off and cancellation rights under Section 8.10(a) with respect thereto, (x) Parent may proceed with such set-off and cancellation as to any Losses under such indemnification claim that are quantified and not disputed by any Company Indemnified Party, and (y) Parent may withhold from one or more of the Tranche One Payment Amount, the Tranche Two Payment Amount, the Tranche Three Payment Amount, the Tranche Four Payment Amount, the Holdback Shares (to the extent the indemnification claim is made under Section 8.2(g)), and the Earn-Out Payment (including any portion thereof paid as Bonus Payments), pro rata based on the Indemnification Liability Allocation, in each case to the extent not yet paid, Parent’s good faith, reasonable estimate of the amount of Losses in respect of such indemnification claim that are not recovered through the set-off and cancellation contemplated by the foregoing clause (x). To the extent it is later determined that the amount of such withholding of Parent Common Shares, Earn-Out Payment (including any portion thereof paid as Bonus Payments) under clause (y) exceeded the amount of indemnifiable Losses not already satisfied through the set-off and cancellation contemplated by the foregoing clause (x), Parent shall thereafter promptly distribute such excess Parent Common Shares, and/or Earn-Out Payment (including any portion thereof payable as Bonus Payments) to the Company Indemnifying Parties (pro rata based on the Indemnification Liability Allocation), without interest; provided, however, that in the case of any Holdback Shares, such excess Holdback Shares shall continue to be held by Parent for any remainder of the Holdback Period.

(c)

For the purposes of determining the number of Parent Common Shares to be cancelled by the Company and forfeited by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.10(a) and 8.10(b), the Parent Common Shares (including Bonus Shares, Fuse Shares and Holdback Shares) shall be valued at the Indemnification Claim VWAP.

(d)

Except in the case of fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein, the rights of set-off described in Section 8.10(a) and 8.10(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parent Indemnified Parties for claims for Losses under this ARTICLE VIII.

(e)

Within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Holdback Period, Parent shall issue and deliver to each applicable Stockholder, each Bonus Grantee and Fuse Holdings, such parties’ applicable share of the Holdback Shares that have not been cancelled by Parent in accordance with its rights under Section 8.10(a) and 8.10(b).

Section 8.11

Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification rights provided in Section 6.8 and this ARTICLE VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses related to a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8.11 (i) shall not be the exclusive remedy with respect to claims for fraud or willful misrepresentation or any claims relating to or arising out of a breach of any covenant or obligation set forth in any of Section 6.1, 6.7, 6.9 or 6.13 to the extent that such covenant or obligation contemplates performance after the Closing, and (ii) shall not preclude any party from bringing an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy to require any other party to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

Section 9.1

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time whether before or after the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholders:

(a)

by the mutual written agreement of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company;

(b)

by Parent, at any time before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 30, 2015, by written notice to the Company, if Parent, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation of the Company, each Subsidiary and the Business, including the assets, Liabilities, financial condition and prospects thereof; or

(c)

by Parent or the Company if (i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred by July 31, 2015, unless the reason for such non-occurrence is the failure of the party declaring such termination to abide by its covenants and obligations in this Agreement, including any failure by such party to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any condition of Closing of the other party set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, (ii) any Governmental Authority of competent authority shall have issued an Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable, or (iii) such party is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there is a breach by the other party of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the breaching party and would cause a condition set forth in ARTICLE VII to be incapable of being satisfied.

Section 9.2

Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any Liability to any Person in respect hereof or of the transactions contemplated hereby on the part of any party or any of its Representatives or Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the confidentiality provisions of Section 6.1 and the provisions of Section 3.10(b), Section 6.4, this Section 9.2 and ARTICLE X shall survive such termination indefinitely, and (ii) if the Closing does not occur as a result of any party’s willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation hereunder, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 shall not relieve the breaching party of any Liability to any other party for such willful breach, and any non-breaching party shall be entitled to all remedies against the breaching party for such breach, whether at law or in equity, even if the non-breaching party is the party that terminated this Agreement.

If the Undersigned is a legal entity or trust, the execution, delivery and performance of this Letter of Transmittal by the Undersigned has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Undersigned (including, without limitation, approval by its board of directors or equivalent governing body and, if necessary, stockholders, members, partners or other equity owners). If the Undersigned is an individual, the Undersigned has all legal capacity and authority to execute and delivery this Letter of Transmittal and to act in accordance with its provisions. This Letter of Transmittal constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in accordance with its terms.

(e)

The Parent Common Shares to be issued to the Undersigned pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be acquired by the Undersigned for investment for the Undersigned’s own account or the account of the party specified in the special issuance instructions and not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of U.S. securities laws,.

Important Tax Information for U.S. Resident Stockholders

Under United States federal income tax law, a United States Stockholder whose Certificates are surrendered for payment is required to provide such Stockholder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Form W-9, a copy of which is provided with this Letter of Transmittal. If the Stockholder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, the Stockholder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN on Form W-9.

A United States Stockholder will be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments in connection with the surrender of his, her or its Certificates (including the deemed surrender of any Missing Certificates) if such Stockholder: (i) fails to furnish his, her or its TIN within a reasonable time after the request for it, (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN (which may also subject the Stockholder to penalties imposed by the IRS), (iii) is notified by the IRS that he, she or it is subject to withholding tax, or (iv) fails, in some instances, to certify that the TIN provided is correct and the IRS has not notified the Stockholder that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding.

If backup withholding applies, Parent will be required to withhold a specified percentage of any payments made to the Stockholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding would be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the Stockholder.

Purpose of Form W-9. To prevent backup withholding with respect to payment for the Certificate(s) surrendered in connection with the Merger (including any Missing Certificates deemed surrendered in connection with the Merger), each Stockholder must provide Parent with his, her or its correct TIN by completing the Form W-9, certifying that the TIN provided on Form W-9 is correct (or that such Stockholder is awaiting a TIN) and attaching the completed Form W-9 with the Letter of Transmittal. See the instructions included on Form W-9 for additional guidance. Additional rules with respect to information reporting may also be required.

What Number to Provide. Each Stockholder is required to provide Parent the TIN of the record holder of the Certificate(s). If the Certificate(s) is (are) in more than one name or is (are) not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions included on Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report.

Delivery Requirement for Non-U.S. Stockholders

Each non-United States stockholder is required to provide a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form. A copy of Forms W-8 and W-8BEN-E are provided with this Letter of Transmittal.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE MERGER, AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE MERGER TO THEM.
