Section 3.1       Purchase Price; Held Back Shares; Designees.

(a)       As consideration for the Purchased Assets and for the other promises and covenants contained herein and in the other agreements to be delivered by Seller hereunder, Purchaser will pay to Seller (or its designees) an aggregate purchase price of $3,200,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid in unregistered shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of Purchaser’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The aggregate number of Purchase Shares issuable to Seller (or its designees) shall equal that number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchase Price divided by (ii) the Sysorex Weighted Average Price determined five (5) trading days prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the first anniversary of the Closing Date being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price Delivery Date”).

(b)       On the Purchase Price Delivery Date, Purchaser shall (i) set aside and hold in accordance with Section 9.4 below Purchase Shares having an aggregate value, based on the Sysorex Weighted Average Price, of $567,150 (collectively, the “Held Back Shares”) and (ii) issue to Seller and each of the designees identified by Seller in the Designee Notice in accordance with Section 3.1(d) below the balance of the Purchase Shares based on the allocations set forth in the Designee Notice.

(c)        As further consideration for the purchase of the goodwill and going-concern value of Seller included in the Purchased Assets and the other promises and covenants of Seller herein and the covenants and acknowledgements of Owner in Section 10.8, Purchaser shall deliver the following securities, make the following cash payment and offer employment, on the following dates:

(i)        to Owner, (A) 127,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock, to be issued on the Purchase Price Delivery Date, (B) $19,000 in cash, to be paid on the Closing Date, (C) an offer of at-will employment, commencing on or before the Closing Date, and (D) an incentive stock option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued under Purchaser’s 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, on the Closing Date, which will vest over 48 months in equal installments, with an exercise price equal to the closing market price per share of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq on the Closing Date; and

(ii)       to Matthew Granade, or his designee (“Granade”), $200,000 in unregistered shares of Common Stock, on the Purchase Price Delivery Date.

The number of unregistered shares of Common Stock to be issued to Granade on the Purchase Price Delivery Date under this Section 3.1(c) shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount in clause (ii) above by the Sysorex Weighted Average Price. None of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the Owner or Granade (collectively, the “Other Seller Parties”) under this Section 3.1(c) (collectively, the “Other Shares”) shall be subject to Section 9.4 (Right of Setoff Against Held Back Shares).

(d)       Not less than five (5) trading days prior to the Purchase Price Delivery Date, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of the following (the “Designee Notice”): (i) the name and address of each of its stockholders or other Person who shall receive any Purchase Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Held Back Shares upon the release thereof following the Expiration Date pursuant to Section 9.4(b) below), (ii) the number of Purchase Shares (including Held Back Shares) each such Person shall receive and (iii) the name of each Person that will deliver a Lock-up Agreement to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) (each such Person, a “Lock-up Agreement Party”) and the number of Purchase Shares (other than Held Back Shares) that will be subject to each such Lock-up Agreement, provided that the aggregate number of Purchase Shares subject to all such Lock-up Agreements shall have an aggregate value, based on the Sysorex Weighted Average Price, of $185,000, subject to rounding to the closing whole number of Purchase Shares (such number of Purchase Shares, collectively, the “Aggregate Locked Up Shares”). Seller shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each other recipient of Purchase Shares and Other Shares to, deliver to Purchaser at least five (5) trading days prior to the Purchase Price Delivery Date the broker account information required for electronic delivery of the Purchase Shares (including Held Back Shares) and Other Shares by DWAC to each such recipient (such account information for each such recipient, “DWAC Account Information”). The timely receipt by each recipient of Purchase Shares hereunder shall be subject to the delivery of a Lock-up Agreement to Purchaser by each Lock-up Agreement Party at least five (5) trading days prior to the Purchase Price Delivery Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Shares and the Other Shares shall constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(e)       Purchaser shall effect delivery of the Purchase Shares to Seller, or its designees and the Other Shares to the Other Seller Parties, as contemplated by this Section 3.1, as DWAC Shares in accordance with the instructions for electronic delivery provided by Seller in the Designee Notice. For purposes hereof, “DWAC Shares” means shares of Common Stock that are (i) issued in electronic form, (ii) freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale (except as provided by the Lock-up Agreements and Rule 144, to the extent that the recipients are “affiliates” of Purchaser under Rule 144) and (iii) credited by Purchaser (or its transfer agent) to the Seller, its designees and the Other Seller Parties or their respective nominee’s specified Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) account with DTC under its Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program or any similar program hereafter adopted by DTC performing substantially the same function.

(f)       If Purchaser fails to issue and deliver the Purchase Shares on the Purchase Price Delivery Date in accordance with Section 3.1(d) and (e), then, in addition to any other remedies available to Seller and the Other Seller Parties under this Agreement or otherwise (including the right to obtain specific performance), Purchaser shall pay to Seller or the Other Seller Parties, as applicable, as additional damages an amount in cash (such amount, the “Shortfall Amount”) equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the Sysorex Weighted Average Price determined five (5) trading days prior to the Purchase Price Delivery Date and (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg LP on the date that the Purchase Shares are delivered (the “Ultimate Delivery Date”); provided, however, that no Shortfall Amount or other damages under this Section 3.1(f) shall be payable with respect to any Purchase Shares or Other Shares if, but only to the extent that, any failure to issue and deliver the Purchase Shares in a timely manner is due to, (x) all DWAC Account Information not having been provided by Seller at least five (5) trading days prior to Purchase Price Delivery Date or (y) all Lock-up Agreement Parties not having delivered Lock-up Agreements with respect to the Aggregate Locked Up Shares at least five (5) trading days prior to the Purchase Price Delivery Date. Interest shall accrue on the Shortfall Amount at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum beginning on the Purchase Price Delivery Date and continuing until the Ultimate Delivery Date, and such interest shall compound at the end of each calendar quarter until the Shortfall Amount is paid in full. Seller and the Other Seller Parties shall also be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any actions taken by them to enforce their respective rights under this Section 3.1(f).

Section 3.2       Allocation of Purchase Price. As soon as practicable after the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Purchaser and Seller will follow and use such allocation in all Tax Returns, filings, or other related reports made by any of them to any governmental agencies. To the extent that disclosures of this allocation are required to be made by the parties to the IRS under the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code, or any regulations thereunder, Purchaser and Seller will disclose such reports to the other party prior to filing them with the IRS.

Section 3.3       Sales and Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser agree that the cost of any sales, use, stamp, registration, transfer or other Tax or recording fees and charges imposed on Seller or Purchaser by any Governmental Authority as a result of the sale of the Purchased Assets or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be paid by Seller.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11(a), Seller represents that it does not use and has not incorporated any “open source” software in the Intellectual Property included in the Purchase Assets that would obligate Seller to (A) disclose or distribute such Intellectual Property in source code form or (B) license or otherwise make available such Intellectual Property on a royalty-free basis. Schedule 5.11(a) sets forth all licensed Third Party Software and Intellectual Property that is used by Seller under license in the Business; and no notice of any default has been received by Seller under any such license of Intellectual Property which remains uncured and the execution, delivery or performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder will not result in such a default. Each such license agreement is (i) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and, to the Knowledge of Seller, each of the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies) and (ii) is assignable to Purchaser at the Closing without the consent or approval of any third party.

(b)       Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11(b), (i) there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened proceedings or litigation against Seller asserting the invalidity, misuse, or unenforceability of any of such Intellectual Property owned by Seller, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there are no valid grounds for the same, (ii) Seller has not received any written notice, and has no Knowledge that the conduct of the Business has infringed, misappropriated, or conflicted with, or infringes, misappropriates, or conflicts with any intellectual property of another Person, (iii) no current or former employer of Seller has claimed or asserted any ownership interest in or rights to the Intellectual Property owned by Seller, (iv) to the Knowledge of Seller, the Intellectual Property owned by Seller and Third Party Software or other software owned by or licensed to Seller has not been infringed or misappropriated by any other Person, and (iv) none of the Intellectual Property owned by Seller, Third Party Software, or other software owned by or licensed to Seller is, to the Knowledge of Seller, subject to any outstanding order, decree, judgment, stipulation, or agreement restricting the scope, disposition or use thereof.

(c)       To the Knowledge of Seller, neither the Seller’s present or contemplated activities, products or services infringe, misappropriate, dilute, impair or constitute unfair competition with respect to any patent, trademark, trade name, service mark, service name, copyright or other proprietary rights of any third party.

(d)       Seller has the legal right to use all Third Party Software, software incorporated in any of its products, and other software that is material to the conduct of the Business that comprise Purchased Assets, and all such Third Party Software and other software is being used by Seller in compliance, in all material respects, with any applicable licenses. No consent or approval is required to effect the transfer of the Third Party Software.

(e)       Seller has taken reasonable steps necessary to protect Seller’s rights in Seller’s proprietary and/or confidential information and trade secrets or any trade secrets that comprise Purchased Assets or confidential information of third parties provided to Seller used in the Business. To the Knowledge of Seller, all material trade secrets and other confidential information of Seller that comprise Purchased Assets used in the Business are not part of the public domain nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, have they been misappropriated by any Person having an obligation to maintain such trade secrets or other confidential information in confidence for Seller. To the Knowledge of Seller, no employee or consultant of Seller has unlawfully used any trade secrets or other confidential information of any other Person in the course of their work for Seller nor is Seller making unlawful use of any confidential information or trade secrets of any past or present employees of Seller.

(f)       Neither Seller nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, any of the employees or consultants of Seller, have any agreements or arrangements with current or former employers (other than Seller) relating to (i) confidential information or trade secrets of such employers, or (ii) the assignment of rights to any inventions, know-how or intellectual property of any kind nor are any such Persons bound by any consulting agreements relating to confidential information or trade secrets of another entity that, in each case, are being violated by such persons. To the Knowledge of Seller, the activities of the employees and consultants of Seller do not violate in any respects any agreements or arrangements which any such employees or consultants have with former employers or any other entity to whom such employees or consultants may have rendered consulting services.

Section 5.12     Insurance. Schedule 5.12 is a true and correct list of all the policies of insurance covering the Business, Seller’s properties and/or the Purchased Assets that are presently in force. All of such insurance policies are in full force and effect and all premiums, retention amounts, and other related expenses due have been paid, and Seller has not received any notice of cancellation with respect to any of the policies. True and correct copies of such policies have been made available to Purchaser or its counsel, along with any and all schedules, historical exposure information, and loss information (including loss runs) relating to such policies.

Section 5.13     Brokerage and Finder’s Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.13, Seller has not incurred, or will not incur upon the closing of the transactions described in this Agreement, any liability to any broker, finder, or agent for any brokerage fees, finder’s fees, or commissions with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.14     Solvency.

(b)       Prior to the Closing, except set forth on Schedule 5.14, all outstanding Debt of Seller has been paid in full, terminated by the holder of such Debt or converted into equity of Seller.

Section 5.15     Anti-Corruption.

(a)       Seller has performed all of its duties and obligations with respect to the Acquisition or any matter incidental to this Acquisition in accordance with all Anti-Corruption Laws;

(b)       Neither Seller, its Affiliates, nor any director, officer, stockholder, employee, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any Intermediary thereof, directly or indirectly, has used or agreed to use any amount paid or to be paid to it in connection with the Acquisition or any portion thereof to make any payment or provide any benefit contrary to the Anti-Corruption Laws;

(c)       To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller and its Affiliates and Intermediaries have complied in all material respects with the Anti-Corruption Laws.

(h)       To Seller’s Knowledge, no Public Official has any interest in Seller, its Affiliates, or any entity to which these are associated, whether through security ownership, board of director composition, officer appointment, employment or otherwise, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no Public Official has, or has any right to acquire or otherwise obtain any such interest prior to the Acquisition; and

(i)        To Seller’s Knowledge, no individual that is a director, officer, stockholder or employee of Seller, its Affiliates or any individual that is an immediate family member of any such individual is a Public Official.

Section 5.16     Investment Representations. Seller understands that none of the Common Stock comprising the Purchase Shares and Other Shares has been registered under the Securities Act.  Seller also understands that the Purchase Shares and Other Shares are being offered and sold hereunder pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon the following representations:

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

Section 6.1       Organization and Standing. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdictions of incorporation, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as now being conducted, to own or use properties and assets, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser is also duly qualified to do business as foreign corporations and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used, or the nature of the activities conducted, requires such qualifications, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on Seller.

Section 6.2       Authority; Consents. The execution, delivery, and consummation of this Agreement by Purchaser has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Purchaser in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the organizational documents of Purchaser, and no further action is necessary on the part of Purchaser to make this Agreement valid and binding on Purchaser and enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement of the rights and remedies created hereby may be affected by bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, insolvency, public policy, and similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general equity principles. The execution, delivery, and consummation of this Agreement by Purchaser is not contrary to the organizational documents of Purchaser. No approval or consent of any Person is or was required to be obtained by Purchaser for the authorization of this Agreement or the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 6.3       Absence of Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, claim, demand, arbitration, or other proceeding or investigation, at law or in equity, administrative or judicial, pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against or affecting Purchaser pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened in any written notice addressed and delivered to Purchaser or its Affiliates, before any court, or before any Governmental Authority, in each case that, if adversely determined, would materially impair or delay Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to perform their obligations hereunder.

Section 6.4       Brokerage and Finder’s Fees. Purchaser has not incurred, nor will incur upon the closing of the transaction described in this Agreement, any liability to any broker, finder, or agent for any brokerage fees, finder’s fees, or commissions with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Purchaser has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any stock exchange or market for quotation on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted to the effect that Purchaser is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such exchange or market. Purchaser is, and has no reason to believe that it will not, in the foreseeable future, continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

Section 6.6       SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Purchaser has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) all reports, including amendments thereto, required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two (2) years preceding the date hereof or such shorter period as it has been required to file such reports (the foregoing materials being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of Purchaser included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Purchaser and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. In the case of unaudited interim financial statements, such statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Except for (a) the requirements of state securities laws, (b) the filing of appropriate documents with the NASDAQ Stock Market, or (c) the filing of a Form 8-K, if applicable, no consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be made or obtained by Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.8       Valid Issuance. The Purchase Shares and the Other Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued pursuant to this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer imposed by the Lock-Up Agreements and any applicable securities laws.

Section 9.1       General Indemnification Obligation.

(a)       Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its officers, managers, stockholders, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Damages primarily and directly based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of:

(i)        breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached hereto or thereto);

(ii)       any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached hereto or thereto);

(iii)      any of the Retained Liabilities;

(iv)      any Damages resulting from the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date; and

(v)       fraudulent transfer laws or the failure to comply with any bulk sales law.

(b)       Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, managers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Damages based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of:

(i)        breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached hereto or thereto);

(ii)       any breach of any covenant, or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached hereto or thereto); and

(iii)       any Damages resulting from the operation of the Business after the Closing Date, except to the extent arising from a Retained Liability.

Section 9.2       Notice and Opportunity to Defend.

(a)       As soon as is reasonably practicable after a Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, becomes aware of any claim that it has under Section 9.1 that may result in Damages (a “Liability Claim”), such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to the party hereto that is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice shall describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Damages that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.2(a) shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b)       To the extent that any Liability Claim relates to a third party proceeding, the Indemnifying Party may elect, by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of any Liability Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, to assume and conduct the defense of such Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 9.2(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim or (ii) a settlement of, or adverse judgment with respect to the Liability Claim may be expected to have a material adverse effect on, or is likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business or Tax position of the Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, any increase in the Tax liability of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof), the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Liability Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Liability Claim which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Liability Claim, or (ii) grants any injunctive or equitable relief, or (iii) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on, or is likely to establish a precedential custom or practice material adverse to, the continuing business or Tax position of the Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, any increase in the Tax liability of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof). The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Liability Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Section 9.3       Survivability / Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)       The representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, and the right of Seller and Purchaser to seek indemnification as a result of any breach of any representation or warranty, shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that any Liability Claim pending on the Expiration Date for which a Claims Notice has been given in accordance with Section 9.2 on or before such Expiration Date may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not have to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Damages under Section 9.1(a)(i) until (i) the amount of any individual Liability Claim exceeds $5,000 (a “Qualifying Claim”), and until (ii) the aggregate amount of all Qualifying Claims sustained by one or more Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), and then Seller shall be liable solely for the total amount by which such aggregate Damages exceed the Deductible. Sellers aggregate liability for Damages under Section (a)(i) shall not exceed the sum of $567,000, and Purchaser’s sole and exclusive source of recovery against Seller for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be against the Held Back Shares, except as set forth in Section 9.3(c) and for any Liability Claims arising under Section 9.1(a)(iii).

(c)       Absent fraud or criminal activity, the indemnification provided for in Section 9.1 of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party against the other parties for any Damages incurred by such party arising under or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)       Absent fraud or criminal activity, no party hereto will be entitled to receive from any other party hereto punitive damages as a result of Damages hereunder.

(e)       Each of the representations and warranties that contain any “in all material respects” or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualifications shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no “in all material respects” or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualification for purposes of any indemnification under this Article 9.

Section 9.4       Right Set off Against Held Back Shares. As security for the agreement by Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as descried in this Article 9, Seller hereby grants a first priority security interest in, and pledges and instructs Purchaser to set aside and hold, the Held Back Shares until the Expiration Date (except as provided in Section 9.5). Purchaser may set off against and recoup from the Held Back Shares any Damages which Seller may be responsible under this Article 9, subject, however, to the following terms and conditions:

(a)       The dollar amount of such set off and recoupment shall become final on the later to occur of the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date Purchaser gives Seller a Claims Notice (the “Notice of Contest Period”) or, if the underlying Liability Claim is contested, the date the dispute is resolved; and

(b)       If, prior to the expiration of the Notice of Contest Period, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of an intention to dispute the claim and if such dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) days after expiration of such period, then Purchaser may take any action or exercise any remedy available to it by appropriate legal proceedings to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

Section 9.5       Delivery of Held Back Shares. Purchaser agrees to deliver the Held Back Shares to Seller (or its designees) on the Expiration Date, less Held Back Shares representing the amount of final Damages determined in accordance with Section 9.4(a) above, unless there then remains any unresolved Liability Claim for Damages as to which a Claims Notice has been given to Seller by Purchaser under Section 9.2(a) above, in which event, any remaining portion of the Held Back Shares then payable, after such Liability Claim shall have been satisfied, shall be returned to the Seller (or its designees) promptly after the time of satisfaction. Upon delivery thereof, all Held Back Shares shall be free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable securities laws.

Section 9.6       Voting of and Dividends on the Held Back Shares. On and after the Purchase Price Delivery Date, except with respect to Held Back Shares transferred to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing right of set-off, all Held Back Shares shall be deemed to be owned by the Persons specified in the Designee Notice and such Persons shall be entitled to vote the same; provided, however, that, there shall also be deposited with Purchaser, subject to the terms of this Article 9, all shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the Held Back Shares as a result of any stock dividend or stock spilt and all cash issuable as a result of any cash dividend with respect to the Held Back Shares. All stock and cash issued or paid upon Held Back Shares shall be distributed to the Persons specified in the Designee Notice, together with such Held Back Shares.

Section 9.7       Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made by any party hereto, and any set off and recoupment against Held Back Shares, under this Article 9, will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Article 10

Section 10.6     Further Assurances. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment, and delivery and such consents, assurances, powers of attorney, and other instruments and take such other action as reasonably may be necessary to in order to vest in Purchaser (and record and perfect) all right, title, and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, to put Purchaser in actual possession and control of the Business and to otherwise fully effectuate and carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 10.7     Mail and Other Receipts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Owner may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller or Owner, as applicable is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b)       During the Restricted Period, Seller and Owner shall not directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any Person who is offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.5(b) or is or was employed in the Business during the Restricted Period, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 10.8(b) shall prevent Seller from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c)       Each of Seller and Owner acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10.8 would give rise to irreparable harm to Purchaser, for which monetary Damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller or Owner of any such obligations, Purchaser shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d)       Each of Seller and Owner acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 10.8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 10.8 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirement in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirement. The covenants contained in this Section 10.8 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.9     Reservation of Shares; SEC Filings. Purchaser shall duly reserve and maintain an adequate number of shares of Common Stock to issue the Purchase Shares and Other Shares as and when such shares are contemplated to be issued or released by this Agreement.

Upon the issuance of any Other Shares to either Other Seller Party, such Other Seller Party shall remit an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements contemporaneously with the issuance of such Other Shares. At the election of either Other Seller Party, and subject to such rules and procedures as may be established by Purchaser (which could include an arrangement with such Other Seller Party’s broker), such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender to Purchase of Other Shares, contemporaneously with the issuance of the same, having an aggregate value (based on the closing price per share of Common Stock, as quoted on NASDAQ on the last trading day immediately before the date of issuance) sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax obligations.

(b)       By his acceptance of the Other Shares from Purchaser hereunder, each Other Seller Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) he has received tax advice from his own personal tax advisors on the tax consequences of a purchase of the Other Shares, (b) he understands the tax consequences of filing (and not filing) a Section 83(b) election under the Code, and (c) the filing of a Section 83(b) election is within his sole discretion and the tax consequence of filing (or not filing) such election is his sole responsibility.
