The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to in the Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Effective Time. Contemporaneously with or as promptly as practicable after the Closing, properly executed articles of merger and a statement of merger conforming to the requirements of the respective Merger Statutes (the “Merger Filings”) shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, respectively.

2.04. Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the Merger Statutes. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Entity.

2.05. Constituent Documents of Surviving Entity; Directors and Officers. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Constituent Documents of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Constituent Documents of the Surviving Entity as of and immediately after the Effective Time.

2.06. Conversion of Equity Interests Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, subject to the terms of this Agreement, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Member or any other Person, all of the Equity Interests of Merger Sub that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Equity Interests in the Surviving Entity, all such Equity Interests in the Surviving Entity to be held solely by Parent.

2.07. Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any holder thereof or any other Persons:

(a) All Existing Company Interests owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(b) All Existing Company Interests outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Existing Company Interest to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.07(a)) shall be converted (without duplication) into the right to receive:

(i)

Subject to adjustment as provided in this subsection:

(x) at Closing, 5,303,816 unregistered shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Closing Stock Consideration”):

(y) within 90 days after the date of the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2,121,526 unregistered shares of Parent Common Stock (the “First Earn-out Stock Consideration”); provided that the Surviving Entity exceeds $4 million in Company New Product Revenue during the twelve consecutive months following the Closing Date; and

(z) within 90 days after the date of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 2,121,526 unregistered shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Second Earn-out Stock Consideration”); provided that the Surviving Entity exceeds $6 million in Company New Product Revenue during the twelve consecutive months following the date of the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Closing Stock Consideration (which represents 25% of Parent’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement), the First Earn-out Stock Consideration (which represents 10% of Parent’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement) and the Second Earn-out Stock Consideration (which represents 10% of Parent’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement) is referred to herein collectively as the “Stock Consideration”.

In the event that, on or after the date of this Agreement and before the Effective Time, Parent changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Parent Common Stock, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the Existing Company Interests pursuant to the provisions of this Article II shall be equitably adjusted; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to the Parent Common Stock if (x) Parent issues additional shares of Parent Common Stock and receives consideration for such shares in a bona fide and wholly unrelated third party transaction subsequent to the Closing Date, or (y) Parent issues employee or director stock options, restricted stock awards, grants or similar equity awards subsequent to the Closing Date or Parent issues Parent Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of any such options, grants or awards.

(ii) Principal in an amount initially equal to the Parent Note Amount, and interest due thereon, in each case payable in accordance with the terms of the promissory note delivered by Parent, as issuer, to the Company Member holding Existing Company Interests described in Section 2.07(b) above, as payee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, at Closing (the “Parent Note”).

(iii) Together, the Stock Consideration and the obligations of Parent under the Parent Note constitute, and are referred to herein as, the “Merger Consideration”.

(c) Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted and withheld by it under any provision of federal, foreign, state or local Tax law. If any of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Entity so withholds amounts, such amount will be paid to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Company Member, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Member from whom such deduction or withholding and payment to a taxing authority was made.

2.08. Post-Closing Adjustment to Parent Note Amount.

(a) Adjustment Amount and Satisfaction of Adjustment Amount.

(i) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Company Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Unpaid Company Indebtedness which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and a calculation of Closing Working Capital and the amounts of the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Unpaid Company Indebtedness (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared using the Agreed Accounting Principles.

(ii) The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus zero ($0) (with zero ($0) as the “Target Working Capital”) minus the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses minus the Unpaid Company Indebtedness.

(b) Examination and Review. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Company Representative shall have 30 Business Days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, the Company Representative and its advisors shall have reasonable access to the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Parent and/or Parent’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement as the Company Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and preparing a Statement of Objections (defined below).

(c) Objection. The Company Representative may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth the Company Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Company Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”); provided, that, the sole permissible ground for objections shall be that the Closing Working Capital was not calculated in accordance with the definition of such term set forth in the Agreed Accounting Principles; and provided, further that, the failure of the Company Representative to deliver such Statement of Objections within the Review Period will constitute the Company Representative’s irrevocable acceptance as final of the Closing Working Capital Statement as determined by Parent. If the Company Representative timely delivers a Statement of Objections prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and the Company Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 15 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and the Company Representative, shall be final and binding.

(d) Resolution of Disputes. If Parent and the Company Representative fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants who has (i) not been engaged by either Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company and the Company Member, on the other, within the two years prior to the date hereof and (ii) mutually selected by Parent and the Company Representative (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(e) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Parent, on the one hand, and by the Company Representative, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Parent or the Company Representative, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Parent and the Company Representative.

(f) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(g) Satisfaction of Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Parent Note Amount shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Parent Note Amount shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.

2.09. Fractional Shares. In lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable hereunder as Stock Consideration (if any), Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company Member at the time Parent issues any shares of Parent Common Stock required to be issued and under this Agreement, cash in an amount equal to any fractional share of Parent Common Stock, if any, issuable to the Company Member multiplied by the per share price of such Parent Common Stock as of the date such Parent Common Stock was to be issued.

2.10. Delivery of Stock Consideration.

(a) On or promptly after the Effective Time (with respect to the Closing Stock Consideration) and within ten (10) days of all other applicable dates in accordance with Section 2.07(b)(i) (with respect to the First Earn-out Stock Consideration and Second Earn-out Stock Consideration), Parent shall (or shall cause an exchange agent selected by Parent in its sole discretion to) mail or deliver to the Company Member who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Existing Company Interests: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent or the exchange agent may reasonably specify (including (A) a provision specifying that the exchange of Existing Company Interests shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Existing Company Interests shall pass only upon delivery of such Existing Company Interests to Parent or the exchange agent, and (B) a provision pursuant to which such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.10, Article VII and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement), and (ii) reasonable requirements and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Existing Company Interests in exchange for the Stock Consideration to which such Person may be entitled pursuant to this Article II. Upon delivery to Parent or the exchange agent (as applicable) of such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Existing Company Interests will be entitled to receive as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than ten (10) days) the Stock Consideration to which such Person is entitled hereunder and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in respect of such holder’s Existing Company Interests, after giving effect to any required deduction for Taxes, subject to the applicable notice requirements to the Company Representative set forth in Section 2.10(c) below. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any payment to be made upon surrender of Existing Company Interests.

(b) All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger as Closing Stock Consideration shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and if ever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock issued as Closing Stock Consideration, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as Closing Stock Consideration pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that, for greater certainty, the record date for any Closing Distribution shall be (or be deemed to be) prior to the Effective Time; and, provided further, that all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger as First Earn-out Stock Consideration or Second Earn-out Stock Consideration shall not be considered issued and outstanding (for any purpose) until such Stock Consideration is delivered to the Company Member in accordance with Section 2.10. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Existing Company Interests until such Existing Company Interests are surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.10. Subject to the effect of Applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Existing Company Interests, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not yet paid to such holder, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(c) Parent and any exchange agent, as applicable, shall, upon written notice to the Company Representative, be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under Applicable Law.

(A) reduce all or any amount of the Parent Common Stock to which the Company Member would otherwise be entitled hereunder as First Earn-out Stock Consideration or Second Earn-out Stock Consideration, using the volume weighted-average per share price of the Parent Common Stock on NYSE MKT, as reported for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the last full trading day preceding the date Parent applies such set off;

(B) reduce all or any amounts of principal and interest due or payable in the future under the Parent Note; and/or

(ii) Against the Company Member, individually.

Neither the exercise of nor failure to exercise any such right of set off shall constitute an election of remedies or limit Parent in any manner in the enforcement of other remedies available to it hereunder, and the exercise by Parent of the right of set off against any Merger Consideration payable by Parent pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall not be the sole or exclusive remedy of Parent for recovery of any amounts owed by such Person to Parent pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) No Limitation in Event of Fraud. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, nothing in this Article VII or otherwise shall limit, in any manner, any remedy at law or equity, to which any party may be entitled as a result of fraud.

(e) Employee Benefit Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company Member shall indemnify and agree to defend and hold harmless any Parent Indemnified Person on a dollar for dollar basis, not subject to any cap, basket, deductible, setoff or limitation, in time or otherwise, for any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, judgments, losses, charges, Taxes, penalties and fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) sustained, suffered or incurred of any kind associated with, related to or arising out of (i) the termination of any Company Benefit Plan and (ii) the failure to provide health insurance to any Company Employees prior to the Closing.

(f) Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub. Parent and Merger Sub shall jointly and severally indemnify and agree to defend and hold harmless the Company Member (and his respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents) (“Company Member Indemnified Persons” and singularly, a “Company Member Indemnified Person”) against and in respect of any and all Damages by reason of or otherwise arising out of the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub.

7.03. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Threshold.

(i) The Company Member shall not be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to, and shall not have any liability under, Section 7.02(a)(v) until the aggregate amount of all Damages for which the Company Member would, but for this Section 7.03(a)(i), be liable under Section 7.02(a)(v) exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $75,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case, the Company Member shall become liable for all of such Damages (i.e., if such cumulative Damages exceed the Threshold, this Section 7.03(a)(i) shall be without effect in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Threshold shall not apply to any Damages related to any inaccuracy or breach of any Company Member Fundamental Representation, or of Section 3.08 (Taxes), Section 3.16 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 3.17 (Environmental Matters), or any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to indemnify any Company Member Indemnified Person pursuant to, and shall not have any liability under Section 7.02(f), until the aggregate amount of all Damages for which Parent and Merger Sub would, but for this Section 7.03(a)(ii), be liable under Section 7.02(f) exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Threshold, in which case, Parent and Merger Sub shall become liable for all of such Damages (i.e., if such cumulative Damages exceed the Threshold, this Section 7.03(a)(ii) shall be without effect in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Threshold shall not apply to any Damages related to any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(b) Cap.

(i) The Company Member shall not be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to, and shall not have any further liability under, Section 7.02(a)(v) once the aggregate amount of all payments made by or on behalf of the Company Member, collectively, in respect of the indemnification obligations under Section 7.02(a)(v) equals $3,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that this Section 7.03(b)(i) shall not apply to any Damages related to any inaccuracy or breach of any Company Member Fundamental Representation, or of Section 3.08 (Taxes), Section 3.16 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 3.17 (Environmental Matters), or any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, and no such amounts shall be counted towards the Cap.

(ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to indemnify any Company Member Indemnified Person pursuant to, and shall not have any further liability under, Section 7.02(f) once the aggregate amount of all payments made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in respect of the indemnification obligations under Section 7.02(f) equals the Cap; provided, that this Section 7.03(b)(ii) shall not apply to any Damages related to any claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, and no such amounts shall be counted towards the Cap.

7.04 Punitive Damages. No party hereto will be liable to any other party for any punitive damages; provided, however, that the limitations contained in this sentence shall not apply to any punitive damages recovered or recoverable by or payable with respect to a Third Party Claim or proceeding against an Indemnified Party.

7.05. Claim Notice; Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) Claim Notice. An Indemnified Party shall give each Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding or discovery of fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base the claim for indemnification under this Article VII, which shall contain (i) a description and a good faith estimate of the amount of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII for such Damages, and (iii) a demand for payment, provided, however, that no failure to give such Claim Notice shall excuse any Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially and actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Procedure.

(i) The Indemnified Party will tender the exclusive defense of a Third Party Claim (subject to the provisions of this Section 7.05(b)) to the Indemnifying Party. If (i) the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and within 30 days thereafter such tender is accepted without qualification (or reservation of rights) by the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) within 30 days after the date on which written notice of a Third Party Claim has been given pursuant to this Section 7.05(b), the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party and without qualification (or reservation of rights) its indemnification obligations as provided in this Article VII; then, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnified Party shall not, and the Indemnifying Party shall, have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnifying Party provided that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim as herein provided.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to defend and settle the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to reasonably contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim as provided herein. So long as the Indemnifying Party has not lost its right to defend, litigate and settle and/or obligation to contest, defend, litigate and settle as herein provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and shall have the right, upon receiving the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld unless such settlement does not fulfill the conditions set forth in the following sentence and which shall be deemed automatically given if a response has not been received within the 30 day period following receipt of the proposed settlement by the Indemnified Party), to settle any such matter, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as it deems fair and reasonable.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in connection with any settlement negotiated by an Indemnifying Party, no Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party (as the case may be) that is not controlling the defense and or settlement of the Third Party Claim (the “Non-Control Party”) shall be required by an Indemnifying Party controlling the litigation to (and no such Indemnifying Party shall) (x) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Non-Control Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, (y) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms liability to the Non-Control Party or which may otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s business, or (z) consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as a term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice. All expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) No failure by an Indemnifying Party to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations under this Article VII shall relieve it of such obligations to the extent they exist.

(v) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party fails to accept a tender of, or assume, the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article VII, or if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party does not have the right or shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith and upon the advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnified Party deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least 20 days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Party. If, pursuant to this Section 7.05(b), the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim, for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder as provided herein, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending, contesting, litigating and/or settling the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, forthwith following the presentation to the Indemnifying Party of itemized bills for said attorneys’ fees and other expenses.

(vi) The Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall furnish such information in reasonable detail as it may have with respect to a Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) to the other party if such other party is assuming defense of such claim, and make available all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the defending party in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the date that is 120 days after the date hereof (the “Drop Dead Date”), unless such failure unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Parent to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(i) the Company and the Company Member are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VI and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub within ten days of Parent's or Merger Sub's receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.03 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Drop Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company or the Company Member to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

2.2 Principal Amount Escalators and Procedure.

(a) Escalators.

(i) The Principal Amount shall be increased by an additional $1,000,000 (the “First Earn-out Amount”) if the Surviving Entity exceeds $5,000,000 in Service Revenue during the First Earn-out Period (the “First Earn-out Target”).

(ii) The Principal Amount shall be increased by an additional $1,000,000 (the “Second Earn-out Amount”) if the Surviving Entity exceeds $7,000,000 in Service Revenue during the Second Earn-out Period (the “Second Earn-out Target”).

(iii) For greater certainty, in no event shall the application of Section 2.2 cause the Principal Amount due under this Note to exceed $3,000,000 (except to the extent such Principal Amount is increased as a result of the application of Section 2.1).

(b) Procedure. Within 30 days after the end of the First Earn-out Period and Second Earn-out Period, as applicable, Issuer shall prepare and deliver to the Noteholder a statement setting forth its calculation of (x) the Service Revenue earned by the Surviving Entity during the First Earn-out Period or Second Earn-out Period, as applicable and (y) the amount of the resulting increase, if any, to the Principal Amount by virtue of the First Earn-out Target or Second Earn-out Target, as applicable, being satisfied (the “Earn-out Statement”). No increase to the Principal Amount by virtue of the First Earn-out Target or Second Earn-out Target, as applicable, being satisfied shall occur until the date that Issuer receives the Noteholder’s unequivocal acceptance of the applicable Earn-out Statement.

2.3 Issuer’s Set-off Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it has or may have, Issuer may set off any amount it owes the Noteholder hereunder against any Damages (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for which the Noteholder is liable to Issuer under Article VII (Indemnification) of the Merger Agreement.

3. Final Payment Date; Optional Prepayments.

3.1 Monthly Payments. Subject to the terms of Section 9, commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately subsequent to the date of this Note and continuing on the same day of each calendar month thereafter for the next following sixty (60) months, Issuer shall pay to the Noteholder the principal and interest amount of $29,971 (the “Monthly Payments”). The Monthly Payments may be increased or reduced to account for the Post-Closing Adjustment to the Parent Note Amount.

3.2 Final Payment Date. The aggregate unpaid Principal Amount, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Note, shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date.

3.3 Optional Prepayment. Issuer may prepay the Principal Amount, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time (but if in part only in amounts of $50,000 or integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof) at any time upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Noteholder, without penalty or premium by paying the principal to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Any partial payments of principal shall not reduce the Monthly Payments, shall be applied to the Monthly Payments last falling due, and no partial prepayment shall postpone or interrupt payments of the Monthly Payments, or the payment of the remaining Principal Amount, all of which shall continue to be due and payable at the time and in the manner set forth herein; provided however the amount of interest accruing shall be so adjusted based on the then outstanding amount of principal due.

4. Interest.

4.1 Interest Rate. Except as otherwise provided herein, any outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate from the date such amount was outstanding until such amount is paid in full, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, by prepayment or otherwise; provided that, for greater certainty, the First Earn-out Amount and the Second Earn-out Amount shall not be considered outstanding Principal Amount unless and until the Noteholder is entitled to the First Earn-out Amount and/or the Second Earn-out Amount in accordance with the applicable Earn-out Statement prepared by Issuer, and Issuer receives the Noteholder’s unequivocal acceptance of the applicable Earn-out Statement, in each case in accordance with the Section 2.2.

4.2 Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full.

4.3 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, with monthly compounding.

4.4 Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time and for any reason whatsoever, the interest rate payable hereunder shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Noteholder to Issuer under Applicable Law, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest permitted by Applicable Law shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal by Issuer.

5. Payment Mechanics.

5.1 Manner of Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America no later than 1:00 P.M. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the date on which such payment is due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Noteholder’s account at a bank specified by the Noteholder in writing to Issuer from time to time.

5.2 Application of Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of any costs or expenses incurred by the Noteholder, second to fees or charges (including without limitation late charges) outstanding hereunder, third to accrued interest, and fourth to the payment of principal of the Principal Amount outstanding under the Note.

5.3 Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and each such non-Business Day shall be included for purposes of calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.

5.4 Rescission of Payments. If at any time any payment made by Issuer under this Note is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Issuer or otherwise, Issuer’s obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had not been made.

5.5 Late Charges. Issuer acknowledges that the failure of Issuer to make any payment of the Monthly Payments, or of the payment due at the applicable Maturity Date, within (3) Business Days after such payments are due and payable, will cause the Noteholder to incur additional expense in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and will deprive the Noteholder of the use of the monies so due to the Noteholder, the precise measure of which expense and loss is not susceptible to exact determination. Accordingly Issuer agrees that in the event any Monthly Payments, including the payment due at the applicable Maturity Date, shall be overdue for a period in excess of three (3) Business Days, Issuer shall pay to the Noteholder a late charge of five ($0.05) cents for each dollar so overdue, which Issuer acknowledges is a reasonable basis on which to compensate the Noteholder for the additional expense incident to such delinquency. This shall not be construed to obligate the Noteholder to accept any overdue installment nor to limit the Noteholder’s rights and remedies for Issuer’s default, as hereinafter set forth.

6. Representations and Warranties of Issuer. Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Noteholder on the date hereof as follows:

6.1 Existence. Issuer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois.

6.2 Power and Authority. Issuer has the power and authority, and the legal right, to execute and deliver this Note and to perform its obligations hereunder.

7. Covenants. During such time as any amount is outstanding under this Note, the Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Issuer may incur, create or assume any other Debt in its sole discretion; (b) Issuer may incur, create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets in its sole discretion; and (c) upon the request of any holder of any such other Debt incurred, created or assumed by Issuer (a “Senior Lender”), the Noteholder shall subordinate its rights to any and all amounts due under this Note to the extent and in the manner required by any Senior Lender (but only up to $5,000,000 of the Debt held by all Senior Lenders), including, without limitation the Noteholder’s entering into and execution of a subordination agreement with such Senior Lender at such time, and on such terms and conditions, as such Senior Lender deems necessary or otherwise requires (a “Subordination Agreement”).

8. Events of Default. The occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

8.1 Failure to Pay. Issuer fails to make any payment required by this Note, including, without limitation, the Monthly Payments, within (3) Business Days of the due date thereof and such failure continues, and is not cured by Issuer, within 30 days after written notice is made to Issuer of such failure.

8.2 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by Issuer to the Noteholder herein is incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which such representation or warranty was made.

(b) there is commenced against Issuer any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in Section 8.3(a) above which: (i) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or (ii) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 90 days;

(d) Issuer takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in Section 8.3(a), Section 8.3(b) or Section 8.3(c) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases the Noteholder’s rights under this Section 9 shall be subject to any and all rights of a Senior Lender, including rights of a Senior Lender under a Subordination Agreement with the Noteholder.

Investment Letter

[●], 2016

AG&E Holdings Inc.

9500 West 55th Street, Suite A

McCook, Illinois 60525

Attn: Chairman of the Board of Directors

Dear Sir:

Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 12, 2016, by and among AG&E Holdings Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Parent”), American Gaming & Electronics, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Advanced Gaming Associates LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the “Company”), and Anthony Tomasello, in his capacity as the sole member of the Company and Company Representative (the “Merger Agreement”), Parent will acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company pursuant to the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Merger Sub. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Merger, the undersigned, the sole holder of outstanding equity interests of the Company at the time of the Merger, will receive, among other merger consideration, the right to receive shares of common stock of Parent, par value $1.00 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), all in accordance with the terms and condition of the Merger Agreement.

The undersigned, in connection with the receipt of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger (the “Shares”), does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Parent as follows:

(a) The Shares have been or will be issued to me by Parent without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any state securities laws, in reliance on the exemption from such registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder and related state securities laws (the “Private Placement Exemption”).

(b) I am a bona fide resident of the State of New Jersey.

(c) Parent has furnished to me certain financial and other information relating to Parent, including copies of Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, and the proxy statement for the 2015 annual meeting of Parent’s stockholders, which information I have reviewed to my satisfaction. I have been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as I have deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of Parent concerning the terms and conditions of my investment and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about Parent and its subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable me to evaluate my investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that Parent possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment in the Shares. I am satisfied with any answers and/or additional information I may have received in response thereto.

(d) I have independently evaluated the merits of my decision to invest in the Shares, such decision has been independently made by me and I confirm that I have only relied on the advice of my own business and/or legal counsel and not on the advice of any other business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.

(e) I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares by reason of my knowledge and experience in financial and business matters. I believe that an investment in the Shares will be appropriate and suitable for me in light of my investment objectives, other security holdings and financial situation and needs.

(f) I am acquiring the Shares for investment for my own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and I have no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such Shares.

(g) I presently have no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or entity, or to any other person or entity, with respect to any of the Shares.

(h) I am an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act due to the fact that:

(i) I am a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with my spouse, exceeds $1,000,000; or

For purposes of this paragraph, “net worth” means the excess of total assets at fair market value (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of a person’s primary home) over total liabilities. Total liabilities excludes any mortgage on the primary home in an amount of up to the home’s estimated fair market value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before the Shares are purchased, but includes (x) any mortgage amount in excess of the home’s fair market value and (y) any mortgage amount that was borrowed during the 60-day period before the closing date for the sale of Shares for the purpose of investing in the Shares.

(ii) I am a natural person who had individual income exceeding $200,000 in each of the last two calendar years and I have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current calendar year; or

For purposes of this paragraph, “income” means annual adjusted gross income, as reported for federal income tax purposes.

(iii) I am a natural person who had joint income with my spouse exceeding $300,000 in each of the last two calendar years and I have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current calendar year, as defined above.

(i) No “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the 1933 Act is applicable to me, except for such a disqualifying event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii–iv) or (d)(3), is applicable.

(j) I understand that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the 1933 Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance that I may dispose of the Shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and I understand that Parent has no obligation or intention to register any of the Shares, or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the 1933 Act (including Rule 144 thereunder). Accordingly, I understand that under SEC’s rules, I may dispose of the Shares principally only in “private placements” which are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, in which event the transferee will acquire “restricted securities” subject to the same limitations as in the my hands. Consequently, I understand that I must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

(k) I understand and agree that Parent may (or may direct its stock transfer agent to) enter on its books and records a stop transfer restriction on the Shares noting the restrictions set forth herein, and that Parent may place a legend on the certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares or if issued by book entry, by other appropriate notation, stating that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act in reliance on the Private Placement Exemption and are subject to the further restriction under this letter and setting forth the restrictions.

(l) I further agree that any dispute or controversy that arises out of this letter agreement or any term, provision or condition hereto, shall comply with and be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to agreements made and performed entirely within the State of Illinois and shall be settled by an action in a court located within Chicago, Illinois.

I understand and agree that Parent is issuing the Shares to me in reliance on the representations by me contained in this letter.

3.3.1 Paid Time-Off. Executive shall be entitled to 28 days per Fiscal Year of paid time-off, such paid time-off not to be cumulative (i.e., paid time-off not taken in any Fiscal Year shall not be carried forward and used in any subsequent Fiscal Year) plus all Company holidays observed.

3.3.2 Participation in Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, practices and programs maintained by Company and generally available to Company’s senior executive employees, as in effect from time to time (collectively, “Employee Benefit Plans”) to the extent consistent with applicable law and the terms of the applicable Employee Benefit Plans. Company reserves the right to amend or cancel any Employee Benefit Plans at any time in its sole discretion subject to the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan and applicable law.

3.3.3 Perquisites. Executive shall be entitled to such other benefits and perquisites that are generally available to Company’s senior executive employees and as provided in accordance with Company’s plans, practices, policies and programs for senior executive employees of Company.

3.3.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, Executive shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company and Board and officers’ insurance coverage, to the extent made available to other Board members and senior executives, in accordance with applicable policies and procedures of Company for expenses incurred or damages paid or payable by Executive with respect to a claim against Executive based on actions or inactions by Executive in his capacity as a senior executive or member of the Board of Company.

3.4 Expenses. Company shall reimburse Executive for business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties under this Agreement from time to time, including, without limitation, reimbursement for travel expenses, automobile expenses, mobile phone devices and data plans, upon Executive’s submission to Company of invoices of such expenses in reasonable detail and subject to all standard policies and procedures of Company with respect to such expenses.

4. Termination of the Services.

Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period may be terminated for cause at any time as follows (the effective date of such termination hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”).

4.1 Termination upon Death or Disability of Executive.

4.1.1 Death. Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon the death of Executive. In such event, all rights of Executive and/or Executive’s estate (or named beneficiary) shall cease except for the right to receive payment of the amounts set forth in Section 4.5 of this Agreement.

4.1.2 Disability. Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period upon the disability of Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to be “disabled” if Executive suffers any physical or mental incapacity that renders him unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically-determinable physical or mental impairment which can either be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, as determined by Company in good faith, in consultation with a qualified medical professional. In the event of a dispute as to whether Executive is disabled, Company may refer Executive to a licensed practicing board certified medical doctor (in the field of dispute) selected by Company and Executive jointly, and Executive agrees to submit to such tests and examination as such medical doctor shall deem appropriate to determine Executive’s capacity to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can either be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months. In such event, the parties hereby agree that the decision of such medical doctor as to the disability of Executive shall be final and binding on the parties. Any termination of the Employment Period under this Section 4.1.2 shall be effected without any adverse effect on Executive’s rights to receive benefits under any disability policy of Company, but shall not be treated as a termination without Cause. If the Company and Executive cannot jointly agree on such medical doctor, each shall submit two such qualified medical doctors and such reviewing medical doctor shall be selected by lot.

4.2 Termination by Company for Cause. Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder and the Employment Period for Cause (as defined herein) upon written notice to Executive, which termination shall be effective on the date specified by Company in such notice. The Board shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to determine if “Cause” exists, in each such instance using Company’s customary human resource policies and procedures. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean Executive:

4.2.1 engaged in any act of material dishonesty, willful malfeasance, gross negligence, or breach of fiduciary duty related to his employment;

4.2.2 indictment for or conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to an act of fraud, embezzlement, moral turpitude or constituting a felony, or otherwise engaged in conduct that materially diminishes Executive’s credibility or reputation or is injurious to Company, as reasonably determined by the Board;

4.2.3 refused to perform specific directives from the Board that are consistent with the scope and nature of Executive’s responsibilities

4.2.4 used or been under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol at the workplace or while performing Company business, or refused to submit for a drug or alcohol test upon Company’s request;

4.2.5 failed to obtain the Board's consent prior to causing Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any business with any family members, their affiliates or any entities they work with;

4.2.6 caused, directed or permitted Company to grant incentive equity to any person on terms and conditions not specifically approved by the Board, caused, directed or permitted Company to pay bonuses or grant raises to employees or other service providers of Company not in line with Company’s budget, as approved by the Board; or

4.2.7 after notice and a 10 day opportunity to cure, failed to meet Executive’s other duties and obligations in this Agreement or any policy of Company or any other agreement between Executive and Company, or took or failed to take any action in contravention of the Board charters.

4.3 Termination without Cause; Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment and the Employment Period at any time for any reason upon 90 days’ prior written notice to Company. Company may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period without Cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive; provided that, Company shall have the option to provide Executive with a lump sum payment equal to 30 days’ Base Salary in lieu of such notice, which shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days’ of the date of delivery of such notice of termination to Executive, and for all purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s Termination Date shall be the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to Executive. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions with Company and its subsidiaries, the Board and any boards of directors or managers of any of Company’s subsidiaries (provided that any such deemed resignations shall not affect Executive’s entitlement (if any) to severance pay and benefits hereunder).

4.4 Termination by Executive for Good Reason.

4.4.1 Executive may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period, in accordance with the process set forth below for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following after the Effective Date:

(i) a failure to pay or material and permanent reduction in the Base Salary (other than an across-the-board salary reduction applicable on a consistent basis to Company’s other senior executive officers) or benefits;

(ii) a material diminution in or other substantial adverse alteration in the nature or scope of Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with Company as set forth in this Agreement; provided however for the avoidance of doubt, the hiring of a new chief executive officer or any other senior executive shall not be considered “Good Reason”; or

(iii) Executive has been asked to relocate his principal place of business to a location that is more than 75 miles from Company’s offices located at 223 Pratt Street, Hammonton, New Jersey.

4.4.2 Upon the occurrence of an event constituting Good Reason, Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment hereunder and receive the benefits set forth in Section 4.5 below, upon delivery of written notice to Company no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date of the first occurrence of the event or condition that would constitute Good Reason; provided, however, that such termination shall only be effective upon the expiration of 30 days after receipt by Company of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) if Company has not cured such Good Reason within the Cure Period. If Company so effects a cure, the Good Reason notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no force or effect. Executive shall otherwise have been deemed to terminate the Employment Period as a result of a Good Reason no later than five days after the lapse of the Cure Period without the necessity of any action, and the effective date of a Good Reason termination shall be the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)).

4.5 Rights upon Termination. Upon termination of Executive’s employment and the Employment Period, the following shall apply:

4.5.1 Termination by Company Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Company terminates Executive’s employment and the Employment Period without Cause, or if Executive terminates Executive’s employment and the Employment Period for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive payment of the Accrued Amounts in lump sum form no later than thirty days after the Termination Date. The term “Accrued Amounts” means (A) any Base Salary amounts that have accrued but have not been paid as of the Termination Date and (B) any accrued but unused vacation, reimbursement for any expense reimbursable under this Agreement, and any vested benefits payable to Executive hereunder accrued through the Termination Date. In addition, subject to Section 4.7 and Section 4.10 below, Company shall, subject to Section 6.14, be obligated to pay Executive (or provide Executive with) the following benefits as severance:

(i) an amount equal to the balance of Executive’s Base Salary as of the Termination Date for the remainder of the Employment Period, payable in equal monthly installments commencing on the Termination Date, with the first installment to be paid on the 30th day following the Termination Date and the remaining installments being paid on the following monthly anniversaries of the Termination Date; and

(ii) if Executive timely and properly elects continuation coverage under COBRA, Company shall reimburse Executive for the monthly COBRA premium paid by Executive and his dependents, and such reimbursement shall be paid to Executive on the tenth day of the month immediately following the month in which Executive timely remits the premium payment; provided that Executive shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of (A) expiration of the Employment Period; and (B) the date on which Executive becomes eligible to receive similar medical coverage from another employer.

The treatment of any outstanding equity awards shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the equity incentive plan of Company (whether in effect as of the date hereof or hereafter) and the applicable award agreement.

4.5.2 Termination With Cause by Company or Without Good Reason by Executive. If Company terminates Executive’s employment and the Employment Period with Cause, or if Executive terminates Executive’s employment and the Employment Period other than as a result of a Good Reason, Company shall, subject to Section 6.14, be obligated to pay Executive the Accrued Amounts in lump sum form no later than thirty days after the Termination Date.

4.5.3 Termination Upon Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment and the Employment Period are terminated because of the death or disability of Executive, Company shall, subject to Section 6.14, be obligated to pay Executive or, if applicable, Executive’s estate, the Accrued Amounts in lump sum form no later than thirty days after the Termination Date.

4.6 Effect of Notice of Termination. Any notice of termination by Company, whether for Cause or without Cause, may specify that, during the notice period, Executive need not attend to any business on behalf of Company.

4.7 Requirement of a Release; Exclusivity of Severance Payments under this Agreement. As a condition to the receipt of the severance payments to be provided to Executive pursuant to Section 4.5.1, upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall (i) execute and deliver to Company a general release of employment claims against Company and its affiliates in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company within 21 days (the “Release Period”) following the Termination Date and (ii) continue to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Nondisclosure, Intellectual Property, Noncompetition and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). In the event Executive challenges or threatens to challenge the validity of these covenants or has breached any provision of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, (i) all severance payments under this Section 4 shall cease immediately, (ii) Executive shall forfeit his right to any future severance payments and (iii) any and all unvested and/or unexercised equity awards made to Executive under any equity incentive plan of the Company (whether in effect as of the date hereof or hereafter), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the terms and conditions of such plan or the award of such equity compensation to Executive thereunder, shall be forfeited immediately. In addition, the severance payments and termination benefits to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 4 upon termination of Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive payments in the nature of severance or termination pay or salary continuation which shall be due to Executive upon a termination of employment and shall be in lieu of any other such payments under any severance plan, program, policy or other arrangement which has heretofore been or shall hereafter be established by Company or any of its affiliates.

4.8 Return of Property. Except as otherwise permitted by Company in writing, all property of Company, including, without limitation, records, designs, plans, manuals, guides, computer programs, memoranda, pricing lists, devices, processes, pricing policies or methods and other property used by or delivered to Executive by or on behalf of Company or Company’s clients (including, without limitation, clients obtained for Company by Executive), all records and data compiled by Executive that pertain to the business of Company and all cell phones, computers and other devices owned or leased by Company shall be and remain the property of Company, shall be subject at all times to Company’s discretion and control, and shall be delivered and tendered to Company by Executive without the necessity of Company’s request following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder; provided however Executive shall retain copies of his personal records and files and any other material necessary to enforce this Agreement. Likewise, all correspondence with clients or representatives, reports, records, charts, files, advertising materials and any data collected by Executive, or by or on behalf of Company or its representatives and in Executive’s possession or control, shall be delivered by Executive promptly to Company without the necessity of Company’s request following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder.

4.9 Cooperation. Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for a period during which Executive is being compensated under Section 4.5.1 or otherwise following termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall, at Company’s sole expense, upon reasonable advance notice, reasonably assist and cooperate with Company with regard to any investigation or litigation related to a matter or project in which Executive was involved during Executive’s employment so long as such assistance does not unreasonably interfere with Executive’s time or other responsibilities. Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses related to Executive’s services under this Section 4.9 within 30 business days after Executive submits to Company appropriate receipts and expense statements.

4.10 Mitigation. If, after termination of Executive’s employment, Executive earns compensation of any kind on account of consulting service or employment with another firm, any severance amounts otherwise payable under this Section 4 to Executive shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by such compensation of Executive with such other firm.

6.9.1 Dispute. In the event of any dispute or disagreement between the parties under this Agreement, the disputing party shall provide written notice to the other party that such dispute exists.

Each party shall also be responsible for any fees and costs imposed by tribunal in connection with the arbitration, if any.

6.10 Survival. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 4.5, 4.7, 5 and 6 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Employment Period.

6.11 Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used to construe the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

6.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any executed counterpart returned by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed an original executed counterpart.

6.13 Taxes. Executive shall be solely responsible for taxes imposed on Executive by reason of any compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement and all such compensation and benefits shall be subject to applicable withholding.

6.14 Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder) (the “Code”) to the extent this Agreement is subject thereto, and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. If an amendment of this Agreement is necessary in order for it to comply with Section 409A of the Code, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement in a manner that preserves the original intent of the parties to the extent reasonably possible. No action or failure by Company in good faith to act, pursuant to this Section 6.14, shall subject Company to any claim, liability, or expense, and Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

In addition, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of his “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)) to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i)), then with regard to any payment that is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code (the “Delayed Payments”), such payment shall not be made prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of his “separation from service” and (ii) the date of his death. Any payments due under this Agreement other than the Delayed Payments shall be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified herein. In no case will the delay of any of the Delayed Payments by Company constitute a breach of Company’s obligations under this Agreement. For the provision of payments and benefits under this Agreement upon termination of employment, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, reference to Executive’s “termination of employment” (and corollary terms) with Company shall be construed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service” from Company (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h) with the work threshold of less than 50% of the prior level of services, as uniformly applied by Company) in tandem with Executive’s termination of employment with Company. For purposes of this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the Code.

In addition, to the extent that any reimbursement or in-kind benefit under this Agreement or under any other reimbursement or in-kind benefit plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit in any other calendar year, (ii) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or in the expense reimbursement policies of Company, any such reimbursement of an expense or in-kind benefit must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.

If the Release Period following a “separation from service” begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year (a “Crossover Release Period”), then any severance payments contingent upon a release and that would otherwise occur during the portion of the Crossover Release Period that falls within the first year will be delayed and paid in a lump sum during the portion of the Crossover Release Period that falls within the second year.

6.15 280G Excise Tax. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from Company under this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (1) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (2) the Payment or a portion thereof after payment of the applicable Excise Tax, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in such Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment to the Executive. The accounting firm engaged by Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the change of control shall perform the foregoing calculations.

(f) Employee agrees that in the event a court determines the length of time or the geographic area or activities prohibited under this Section 2 are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable, to the extent authorized by applicable law.

3. Assignment of Intellectual Property.

(a) Employee agrees to and hereby does grant and assign to the Company any interest in and all rights and title to (including, without limitation, rights to patents, copyrights and all other proprietary interests) any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, software, source code, object code, creations, developments, ideas, or trade secrets that Employee (either alone or with others) makes, creates, conceives, invents, discovers, develops, or reduces to practice during the Employment Period under the Employment Agreement that (i) relates to the business of the Company or the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, (ii) results from any work Employee performed for the Company, or (iii) results from the use of the Company’s time, equipment, supplies, facilities, property, trade secrets or other Confidential Information (“Intellectual Property”). Any such assignment of Intellectual Property shall occur regardless whether or not it is patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection. Any such assignment shall be without additional compensation to Employee. Employee acknowledges that he has and shall have no intellectual property or other right, title or interest in or to any such Intellectual Property. Employee will promptly disclose and deliver such Intellectual Property to the Company and, at the request of and without charge to the Company, Employee will do all things deemed by the Company to be reasonably necessary to perfect title to the Intellectual Property in the Company and to assist in obtaining for the Company such patents, copyrights or other protection as may be provided under law and desired by the Company, including, without limitation, executing and signing any and all relevant applications, assignments, or other instruments. Employee further agrees to provide, at the Company’s request, declarations and affidavits and to give testimony, in depositions, hearings, or trials, in support of any of the Company’s rights hereunder. These obligations continue even after any termination of the employment relationship. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any document or documents needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright or other right or protection, for any reason whatsoever, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on his behalf to execute and file any such application or other document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights, or similar protections thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by his.

(b) Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship, including, without limitation, software, manuals and documentation, that have been or may be created by Employee during and within the scope of employment are and shall be “works-for-hire” and the sole property of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Employee understands and agrees that Employee is not being required to assign, and will not be deemed to have assigned, the following:

(i) any inventions that the Employee developed entirely on his own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or (2) result from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.

(ii) Inventions, developments and intangible interests and properties (i.e., patents, patent applications, intellectual property, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks) that Employee made prior to starting employment with the Company. To avoid any uncertainty, Employee agrees to set forth as an Exhibit to this Agreement, any inventions, developments and intangible interests that he owns or has an interest in at the time of execution of this Agreement.

4. Prior Employment. The Company does not want, and Employee is not permitted to bring to the Company or use any confidential information of a prior employer or its clients. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Employee does not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract or agreement, to which Employee is a party or by which he is bound. The Company acknowledges receipt of the employment agreement and related terms and conditions of Employee’s current employment.

5. Remedy for Breach. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by a court with jurisdiction therefor, entitle the Company, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief, to prevent any violation of this Agreement without the necessity of the Company posting bond or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury. Employee recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that such injunctive relief may be necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. Employee further acknowledges that the restrictions set forth above in Sections 1 and 2 including, without limitation, the time periods and activity limitations, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests; that such restrictions do not impose an undue hardship on Employee or otherwise preclude Employee from obtaining gainful employment; that irreparable injury will result to the Company if Employee violates such restrictions; and that, in the event of Employee’s actual violation of such restrictions, monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and the Company may have no adequate remedy at law. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any claims which Employee may have against the Company, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, will not be a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of its rights under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement is not subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 6.9.2 of the Employment Agreement.

6. Expenses. In any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement (including an alleged breach thereof) or any proceeding relating to the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to an award of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in such action from the non-prevailing party within 30 days following the final settlement of such dispute.

7. Tolling of Restrictive Periods. If Employee is found by a non-appealable order by a court in the relevant jurisdiction to have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the time period for such restrictions shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period during which Employee is found to be in violation of this Agreement.

8. Invalidity of Any Provision. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of each state and jurisdiction in which such enforcement is sought, but that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies) of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of this Agreement which shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the invalid or unenforceable provisions. Further, in the event that any part or provision hereof shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or restriction such court deems reasonable and enforceable, then the parties expressly authorize the court to modify such part or provision so that it may be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Applicable Law; Forum. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to the conflicts laws of such state. Employee and the Company agree that the exclusive venue of any action, proceeding, claim, counterclaim, cross-claim or other litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois which shall retain jurisdiction over the parties for that purpose, and the parties will consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court for such purpose.

10. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by Employee.

11. Successors and Assigns; Meaning of “Company”. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Employee and his estate, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, including any successor to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any subsidiary, division, predecessor, successor or assign of the Company.

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, changes, modification, extension, or discharge is sought.

13. Assistance of Counsel. Employee acknowledges that he has read and understands this Agreement in its entirety before signing this Agreement, and that Employee has had an opportunity to consult with counsel of his choice before doing so and has so consulted with such counsel.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement to be effective as of the date first above written.
