AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Parties hereby agrees as follows:

1.          Notice of Threatened Litigation and CCLV Disclosures. All Parties acknowledge that they have received written notice [***] pursuant to the disclosure requirements of the Contribution Agreement and the MIPA. The CCLV Parties further represent and warrant that they have engaged legal counsel to attempt to settle or otherwise resolve such threatened litigation at their cost and expense, although such threatened litigation has not been settled or otherwise resolved as of the date of this Agreement. The Indemnitors (as defined below) hereby represent and warrant that the CCLV Parties have not been served with and have no knowledge of any other lawsuits, threatened lawsuits, claims, charges, disputes, disciplinary actions, regulatory charges, or complaints of any kind, whether at law or equity, formal or informal.

2.          Failure of Representations and Warranties and Waiver of Conditions Precedent. All Parties acknowledge that there may be the failure of one or more conditions precedent to the Closing of the Contribution Agreement and/or the MIPA as a result of the Threatened Litigation and/or the CCLV Disclosures. Notwithstanding the potential or actual failure of such conditions precedent, each benefited Party hereby elects to waive such conditions precedent and to proceed to consummate, first, the Closing under the Contribution Agreement and, second, following the joinder of Sagebrush and Liquid as Sellers and [***] as Members to the MIPA, the Closing under the MIPA. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Contribution Agreement or the MIPA to the contrary, such waiver is applicable only to the failure of such respective conditions to Closing for the purpose of consummating such Closings, and is not a waiver or release of any claims, demands, actions, causes of action, lawsuits, arbitrations, or litigation, of any nature, whether at law or in equity (collectively, “Claims”) of a waiving Party arising out of any failure of such conditions to Closing or any of their rights or remedies under the Contribution Agreement, the MIPA, or any other agreement between any of the Parties or the Other Integral Parties related to the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement or MIPA. Such waiver is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, waive any right of any waiving Party or any Other Integral Parties to recover, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement or MIPA, any loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collective, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by such waiving Party as a result of any such Claims.

3.          Indemnity.

(a)        Sagebrush and Liquid (collectively, the “Indemnitors”), together with [***], confirm and ratify their respective indemnification obligations to the extent set forth in the Contribution Agreement for the benefit of the Integral Parties (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement, as amended herein) and the MIPA for the benefit of the Buyer Indemnitees (as defined in the MIPA) in connection with or arising out of (i) the [***] Threatened Litigation (including, without limitation, with respect to the License Agreement), the [***], or any other Claims of [***]

or any related or affiliated entity or person directly relating to the Threatened Litigation and (ii) the other CCLV Disclosures (collectively, “Indemnified Claims”); provided that the confirmations and ratifications in this Section 3(a) (and only this Section 3(a)) shall not be deemed to increase the indemnification obligations or liabilities of any party beyond the obligations and liabilities set forth in the Contribution Agreement and/or MIPA, as applicable, subject to Section 2 of this Agreement.

(b)         From and after the Closing under the Contribution Agreement, at which time Integral will own 100% of CCLV, the Indemnitors agree, jointly and severely, to indemnify, defend, and hold KHOD, GVHP, Integral, CCLV, GTI Core, GTI Inc., any other Buyer Indemnitee, or any of the Other Integral Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless for any Losses suffered or incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection with any Indemnified Claims (along with the indemnification obligations pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and pursuant to the MIPA, collectively, their “Indemnification Obligations”), subject to Section 4.1. of the Contribution Agreement Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Contribution Agreement or the MIPA to the contrary, the Indemnification Obligations of the Indemnitors with respect to the Indemnified Claims shall apply to the first dollar of Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Parties thereunder, without regard to any Basket Amount set forth in the Contribution Agreement or Deductible set forth in the MIPA.

(c)         The indemnity obligations set forth in Section 3(b) shall be subject to Section 4.3 of the Contribution Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Contribution Agreement, the Indemnitors may not settle any of the following third party Indemnified Claims without the written consent of GTI Inc. if [***].

(d)         Payments pursuant to Section 3(b) with respect of any Losses shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment that the Indemnified Party would have been entitled to receive with respect of any such claim pursuant to CCLV’s insurance policies in existence immediately prior to the date hereof if such policies had been maintained and in effect at the time of the claim and if the Indemnified Party had taken actions reasonably required to received payment pursuant to such policies.

(e)         Payments to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 3(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to any amounts received by such Indemnified Party under the Contribution Agreement and/or the MIPA.

(d)        If any GTI Shares are to be paid to the Indemnified Parties in satisfaction of an Indemnification Obligation to indemnify against Losses under this Agreement, the value of each such GTI Share shall be the volume weighted average of the closing sale price of the GTI Shares on the principal securities exchanges on which the GTI Shares are at the time listed, averaged over twenty (20) consecutive trading days, with the final averaged day used in the calculation being the date such GTI Shares are agreed to be transferred to such Indemnified Party.
