B. Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase, all of the Acquired Shares in exchange for the Purchase Price.

C. As a condition and inducement to Purchaser entering into this Agreement, Steve Berhow, Tim Hanson and Corey Teigen, in their capacity as stockholders of Seller following the holding company reorganization completed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, have concurrently herewith entered into one or more Voting and Support Agreements (the “Voting and Support Agreements”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article II
Purchase and Sale of Acquired Shares

2.1 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will transfer, sell, and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and Purchaser will purchase and accept delivery of, the Acquired Shares in exchange for the Upfront Stock Consideration delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser to Seller. To the extent requested by Purchaser, Seller shall provide an allocation of the Upfront Stock Consideration and the Earnout Consideration as between outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of the Company that comprise the Acquired Shares.

2.2 Total Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the purchase of the Acquired Shares and the other Contemplated Transactions (the “Purchase Price”) will be: (i) the Upfront Stock Consideration; plus (ii) Global Revenue Earnout Consideration, if any; plus (iii) US Revenue Earnout Consideration, if any; plus (iv) Regulatory Milestone Payments, if any. The Upfront Stock Consideration, as described in Section 2.2, shall amount to Purchaser Common Stock with a value of $3,000,000, and the aggregate Earnout Consideration, as described in Section 2.5, may amount to a total value of up to $24,000,000.

2.3 Upfront Stock Consideration. The Upfront Stock Consideration means Purchaser Common Stock with a value of $3,000,000 (Three Million US Dollars), based upon the average of the closing per share price of Purchaser Common Stock for each of the five trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the Closing Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

2.4 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) General. The Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment following the Closing in accordance with this Section 2.4. For clarity, all references to calculations in accordance with GAAP in this Section 2.4 shall be without regard to any exceptions noted on Section 5.5(b) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital Amount. As promptly as practicable, but not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, or such later date as Purchaser and Seller agree in writing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written notice (the “Closing Working Capital Notice”) containing (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), calculated in accordance with GAAP; (ii) Purchaser’s calculation of the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with GAAP (such amount, the “Closing Working Capital Amount”); and (iii) Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Date Indebtedness and unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses. Seller will have a period of 45 days (the “Review Period”) following delivery of the Closing Working Capital Notice to review the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Amount, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Working Capital Notice. Seller and its accountants may make inquiries of, and receive supporting documentation from, Purchaser, the Company, and their respective accountants and employees regarding questions concerning, or disagreements with, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Amount, the Closing Date Indebtedness and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Working Capital Notice, arising in the course of its review thereof, provided that such inquiries do not unreasonably interfere with the operations of Purchaser or the Company, and Purchaser shall use, and shall cause the Company to use, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries as promptly as practicable.

(c) Acceptance by Seller. If (i) at any time during the Review Period, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of its acceptance of Purchaser’s estimate of the Closing Working Capital Amount, or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Working Capital Amount Notice, or (ii) Seller fails to deliver a timely Objection Notice in accordance with Section 2.4(d), then such Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, will be final, binding and conclusive and will be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” and/or final amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Disagreement by Seller. If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, set forth in the Closing Working Capital Notice, then prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller may deliver a notice to Purchaser disagreeing with such specific calculation and setting forth Seller’s objection(s) to Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice must specify, (i) in reasonable detail, those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees and the reason(s) for such disagreement(s), together with any supporting documentation available to Seller and (ii) Seller’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be. Any particular amounts or items contained in the Closing Working Capital Notice or the Closing Balance Sheet that are not specifically objected to by Seller in the Objection Notice will be deemed accepted by Seller and Seller and will be final, binding, and conclusive on all Parties. If Seller does not timely deliver an Objection Notice, Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, in the Closing Working Capital Notice will be deemed final, binding, and conclusive on all Parties.

(e) Dispute Resolution.

(i) If Seller delivers a timely Objection Notice in accordance with Section 2.4(d), Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine a mutually agreeable Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be. If, during such period, Purchaser and Seller agree as to the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, then Purchaser and Seller (on behalf of Seller) shall execute a written acknowledgement of such amount and the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, so agreed upon will be final, binding and conclusive and will be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” and/or final amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement. If, during such period, Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement, then the disputed items will be resolved by the Accountant.

(ii) Within 20 days of the retention of the Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly submit the matter to the Accountant and instruct the Accountant that it: (A) will act as an expert in accounting, and not as an arbitrator, to resolve, in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, only the matters specified in the Objection Notice that remain in dispute; (B) shall adjust the calculation of Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, based thereon to reflect such resolution; (C) may not determine an amount of the Closing Working Capital Amount, Closing Date Indebtedness, or unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, in excess of that claimed by Seller or less than that claimed by Purchaser; (D) shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 75 days following the submission of the matters that remain in dispute to the Accountant for resolution, a written report setting forth the Accountant’s determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, and the calculations thereof; and (E) may not engage in ex parte communications with either Purchaser or its Representatives, on the one hand, or Seller or its Representatives, on the other hand, without the other party’s express written consent. Purchaser and Seller each will have the right to submit written information to the Accountant in support of their respective positions, provided that, when doing so, it provides a copy of such written information to the other Party as well as the Accountant. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if any dispute is submitted to the Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.4(e), the Closing Working Capital Amount and/or amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, determined by the Accountant will be final, binding and conclusive and will be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” and/or final amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) The cost of such review and report (including any retainer) will be borne (A) by Purchaser if Seller’s aggregate calculation of Closing Working Capital Amount and amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, is closer to the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and final amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, calculated by the Accountant, or (B) Seller if Purchaser’s aggregate calculation of Closing Working Capital Amount and amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, is closer to the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and final amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, calculated by the Accountant. Any retainer charged by the Accountant will be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller, with such amount to be reimbursed by the Party responsible for paying the cost of the review in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(i) Closing Working Capital. If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, is:

(A) less than $25,000 or more, then Purchaser shall have the right to offset such amounts from any Earnout Consideration; or

(B) $25,000 or more, then there will be no adjustment.

(ii) Closing Date Indebtedness. If the final amount of the Closing Date Indebtedness, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, is greater than $0.00, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount by which the amount of the final Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds $0.00.

(iii) Unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses. If the final amount of the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, is greater than $0.00, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount by which the amount of the final unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses exceeds $0.00, and upon receipt thereof Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid such unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses.

(g) Cooperation. Each of Purchaser, Company, and Seller will, and will use its respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its respective accountants to, cooperate and assist as requested in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation (including the estimates) of the Closing Working Capital Amount, the Final Closing Working Capital Amount, Closing Date Indebtedness, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses by the other Party and the Accountant, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers, and personnel.

2.5 Earnout Consideration.

(a) Revenue Earnout Consideration. If in any Revenue Earnout Period, the Earnout Measurement sets forth a final calculation of APT Product Global Revenues equal or greater than to the Threshold Global Revenue set forth in the chart below for such period (the “Applicable Threshold Global Revenue”), then Purchaser will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller, by deposit with Purchaser’s transfer agent, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (i) $1,000,0000 plus (ii) an amount equal to (x) $1,000,0000 multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) with a numerator equal to the amount by which the Earnout Measurement exceeds the Applicable Threshold Global Revenue for such period and (2) a denominator equal to the amount by which the Maximum Global Revenue exceeds the Applicable Threshold Global Revenue for such period (such amount, the “Global Revenue Earnout Consideration”); provided, however, that the Global Revenue Earnout Consideration may not exceed an aggregate of $2,000,000.00 for any Revenue Earnout Period.

If in any Revenue Earnout Period, the Earnout Measurement sets forth a final calculation of APT Product US Revenues equal or greater than to the Threshold US Revenue set forth in the chart below for such period (the “Applicable Threshold US Revenue”), then Purchaser will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller, by deposit with Purchaser’s transfer agent, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (i) $1,000,0000 plus (ii) an amount equal to (x) $1,000,0000 multiplied by a fraction (1) with a numerator equal to the amount by which the Earnout Measurement exceeds the Applicable Threshold US Revenue for such period and (2) a denominator equal to the amount by which the Maximum US Revenue exceeds the Applicable Threshold US Revenue for such period (such amount, the “US Revenue Earnout Consideration”); provided, however, that the Global Revenue Earnout Consideration may not exceed an aggregate of $2,000,000.00 for any Revenue Earnout Period.

(b) Regulatory Milestone Consideration. With respect to each of the following milestones (each a “Regulatory Milestone”) that is achieved in accordance with the terms and limitations applicable to such Regulatory Milestone, the Purchaser will deliver, or cause to be delivered to Seller, by deposit with Purchaser’s transfer agent, an aggregate amount of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the applicable milestone payment (each a “Regulatory Milestone Earnout Payment”), to be made to the Seller in the manner set forth below and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement:

Regulatory Milestones	Regulatory Milestone Earnout Payments
FDA Regulatory Approval of a Robotically-Navigated Map-iT Catheter on or before the end of  the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period	$	1,000,000
FDA Regulatory Approval of a Vascular Guidance Catheter on or before the end of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period	$	1,000,000
European CE Mark Regulatory Approval of a Robotically-Navigated Map-iT Catheter on or before the end of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period	$	1,000,000
European CE Mark Regulatory Approval of a Vascular Guidance Catheter on or before the end of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period	$	1,000,000

Within ten (10) Business Days of written receipt by Purchaser, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates of FDA Regulatory Approval or European CE Mark Regulatory Approval of a Robotically-Navigated Map-iT Catheter or a Vascular Guidance Catheter, as the case may be (each an “Regulatory Earnout Notice Date”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement advising of such approval and Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, within three Business Days thereafter, the Regulatory Milestone Earnout Payment to Seller by issuance to Seller of Purchaser Common Stock, with the value thereof based on the average closing per share price of Purchaser Common Stock for each of the five trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the Regulatory Earnout Notice Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share; provided that in the event that Purchaser determines that it will make open market repurchases of Purchaser Common Stock in order to acquire all or a portion of the Purchaser Common Stock to satisfy the delivery thereof pursuant to this subsection, Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of such election and shall instead deliver, on the date that is 32 Business Days after such notice of election, an aggregate amount of shares of Purchaser Common Stock with the value in respect of such Regulatory Milestone Earnout Payment that is based on the volume-weighted average trading price per share of Purchaser Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the thirty (30) trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the date of delivery of such shares.

(i) Within 60 days following the end of any Revenue Earnout Period (or 90 days if a Revenue Earnout Period ends on December 31 of any year) (each a “Revenue Earnout Notice Date”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth the proposed calculation of the Company’s APT Product Global Revenues and APT Product US Revenues for such Revenue Earnout Period, together with supporting schedules as reasonably requested by Seller (each a “Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement” and the final calculation of Eligible Company Earnout Revenues for the applicable Revenue Earnout Period as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, an “Revenue Earnout Measurement”). After delivery of a Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement, Seller and its accountants shall be permitted reasonable access during normal business hours to review the Company’s books and records (excluding any privileged work papers) related to the preparation of such Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement. Seller and its accountants may make inquiries of Purchaser, the Company, and their respective accountants and employees regarding questions concerning or disagreements with such Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement arising in the course of its review thereof, and Purchaser shall use, and shall cause the Company to use, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries as promptly as practicable.

(ii) If Seller disagrees in any respect with Purchaser’s calculation of a Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement, Seller may deliver a dispute notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within 15 days of receiving such Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement.

(iii) If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within 15 days of receiving a Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement, then such Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement will be the Revenue Earnout Measurement for the applicable Revenue Earnout Period.

(iv) If Seller does deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser (which Dispute Notice must set forth, in reasonable detail, (A) the items and amounts in dispute and an alternative amount for each such disputed item and (B) a calculation by Seller of the Revenue Earnout Measurement for the applicable Revenue Earnout Period) within such 15-day period commencing on the date that Seller receives the Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement for such Revenue Earnout Period from Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve the dispute during the 15-day period commencing on the date Purchaser receives such Dispute Notice from Seller (the “Resolution Period”), which Resolution Period may be extended by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller.

(v) The only bases on which Seller may dispute any matter in any Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement are: (A) the inaccuracy of such matter, whether factually or numerically, or (B) that such Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement, or any element thereof, or both, are not prepared as provided in this Agreement.

(vi) If Purchaser and Seller do not obtain a final resolution within the Resolution Period, then the items in dispute will be submitted immediately to the Accountant for binding resolution. Seller and Purchaser shall act in good faith to execute such engagement letters and other documents as will be necessary to engage the Accountant within 10 days but in no event later than 20 days after the expiration of the Resolution Period. Purchaser and Seller shall jointly instruct the Accountant that it: (A) will act as an expert in accounting, and not as an arbitrator, to resolve, in accordance with GAAP and this Agreement, only the matters specified in any timely delivered a Dispute Notice that remain in dispute; (B) will adjust the calculation of the Proposed Revenue Earnout Measurement to reflect such resolution; (C) may not determine an amount of Revenue Earnout Revenues for any Revenue Earnout Period in excess of that claimed by Seller or less than that claimed by Purchaser for such Revenue Earnout Period; (D) will deliver to Purchaser and Seller a written decision of its calculation of the Revenue Earnout Measurement as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 75 days following the submission of the matters that remain in dispute to the Accountant for resolution; and (E) may not engage in ex parte communications with either Purchaser or Seller or any Representative of the foregoing without the other’s express written consent.

(vii) The cost of such review and written decision will be borne (A) by Purchaser if Seller’s aggregate calculation of the Revenue Earnout Measurement is closer to the Revenue Earnout Measurement calculated by the Accountant, or (B) by Seller if Purchaser’s aggregate calculation of the Revenue Earnout Measurement is closer to the Revenue Earnout Measurement calculated by the Accountant. Any retainer charged by the Accountant will be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller, with such amount to be reimbursed by the Party responsible for paying the cost of the review in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(viii) If applicable, and subject to Section 2.5(d), within seven (7) Business Days after final determination of the Revenue Earnout Measurement for such Revenue Earnout Period pursuant to this Section 2.5(a), Purchaser or the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, any such Global Revenue or US Revenue Earnout Consideration (if any) to Seller (on behalf of and for distribution, as applicable, to Seller) by issuance to Seller of a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock, with the aggregate value thereof equal to such Global Revenue or US Revenue Earnout Consideration, as the case may be, based on the average closing per share price of Purchaser Common Stock for each of the five trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the Revenue Earnout Notice Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share; provided that in the event that Purchaser determines that it will make open market repurchases of Purchaser Common Stock in order to acquire all or a portion of the Purchaser Common Stock to satisfy the delivery thereof pursuant to this subsection, Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of such election and shall instead deliver, on the date that is 32 Business Days after such notice of election, an aggregate amount of shares of Purchaser Common Stock with the value in respect of such Global Revenue and/or US Revenue Earnout Consideration, as the case may be, that is based on the volume-weighted average trading price per share of Purchaser Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the thirty (30) trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the date of delivery of such shares.

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to offset any Earnout Consideration for indemnity claim amounts on the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI.

(e) During the Revenue Earnout Periods, Purchaser shall operate the Company and the Business in a commercially reasonable manner and hereby agrees not to take any action during the Revenue Earnout Periods which has as its intended purpose the diminution of the Earnout Consideration, provided that Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct the operational aspects of Company’s Business as conducted prior to the Closing Date, taken as a whole, including maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers, independent contractors, Governmental Entities, and others having business dealings with it consistent with the Company’s practice prior to the Closing Date. Subject only to the first sentence of this Section 2.5(e), the Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the complete right, power and authority to operate and control the Company and each of Purchaser’s, Purchaser’s Affiliates’ and the Company’s business (including the Business) and its and their respective operations and all key business decisions (including any and all decisions relating to the integration of the Business into the business and operations of Purchaser and its Affiliates, any acquisitions, dispositions, purchases or sales of equity or assets and the timing thereof, capital expenditures and the timing thereof, opening new or closing existing offices, developing new businesses or divisions, service offerings and pricing, employee hiring and retention, subcontracting authority and facilities management) in any manner as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, regardless of the impact on any Earnout Consideration.

(g) Change of Control of Purchaser.

(i) In the event a Change of Control of Purchaser occurs prior to September 30, 2029, then a portion of the Earnout Consideration equal to the COC Value shall be deemed vested prior to the Change of Control. Prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Change of Control of Purchaser, Purchaser will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller, by deposit with Purchaser’s transfer agent, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the COC Value, based on the per share value of the per share consideration to which Purchaser’s stockholders in such Change of Control transaction are entitled.

(iii) Purchaser shall provide written notice (a “COC Notice”) to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, and the Parties agree as promptly as practicable thereafter, but not more than fifteen (15) days, to mutually select and retain the services of a third party valuation expert to determine the COC Value, provided that the Parties may elect to negotiate in good faith to determine a COC Value without referring to a valuation expert and provided further that Purchaser may enter into and consummate a Change of Control subject to a reservation or escrow of Purchaser Common Stock to satisfy the requirement to deliver the Earnout Consideration in Purchaser Common pursuant hereto.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any acquiror of Purchaser, in the event of an Change of Control that results in Purchaser Common Stock being converted into or exchanged solely for publicly traded securities of its acquiror, Purchaser may consummate such Change of Control Transaction if such acquiror agrees to assume Purchaser’s earnout obligations in this Section 2.5 and to pay the Earnout Consideration, if achieved, solely in shares of public traded stock, so long as such assumption by any Purchaser acquiror does not cause the transactions contemplated hereby to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code as provided in Section 7.6(a) (Intended Tax Treatment).

(h) The number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock deliverable pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall equal the Earnout Stock Consideration Value.

All such notes and accounts receivable of the Company arose in the Ordinary Course of Business from the sale and delivery of goods actually made or the actual provision of services to customers of the Company, none of which, are equity owners or Affiliates of the Company. All of the notes and accounts receivable of the Company are, in the aggregate, collectible within 90 days in full, net of the reserve therefor, in the Ordinary Course of Business, except as provided for in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Section 5.5(c) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule sets forth a materially accurate aging of all accounts receivable of the Company as of the Interim Balance Sheet Date. Neither the Company nor Seller has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, substantially for the purpose of artificially manipulating the amount of the Company’s Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date.

(d) Section 5.5(d) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule sets forth in reasonable detail, including aging by date of invoice, the Company’s updated calculation of its Accounts Payable as of the Closing. Neither the Company nor Seller has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, substantially for the purpose of artificially manipulating the amount of the Company’s Accounts Payable as of the Closing Date.

(e) Section 5.5(e) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule sets forth in reasonable detail the Company’s updated calculation of its Accrued Liabilities as of the Closing. Neither the Company nor Seller has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, substantially for the purpose of artificially manipulating the amount of the Company’s Accrued Liabilities as of the Closing Date.

(f) The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting (of a type customary for similarly situated companies) that is reasonably sufficient to ensure that its books and records accurately reflect its assets and Liabilities in such a manner as to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Financial Statements in a consistent manner, applicable Law and otherwise in a manner that fairly presents the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of the respective dates and periods thereof.

The Company has no Liabilities of the nature required to be disclosed under GAAP, except for the following, none of which results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of, or was caused by any breach of Contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, environmental liability, or violation of Law: (a) Liabilities included and reserved against on its Interim Balance Sheet; (b) accounts payable and Liabilities (of the types required to be reflected as current liabilities on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP) incurred by the Company since the Interim Balance Sheet Date in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (c) the Liabilities set forth in Section 5.6(c) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule.

5.10 Title to Assets; Real Property.

(a) Title to Assets. The Company has good and valid title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or license to, all of the tangible personal property and other non-real estate assets reflected in its Interim Balance Sheet or acquired after the Interim Balance Sheet Date, other than properties and assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the Ordinary Course of Business since the Interim Balance Sheet Date. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances. All such properties and assets are in good condition and repair (subject to normal wear and tear) and are sufficient for the operation of the Company’s business. The Company is the only operation through which the Business is conducted, and no similar business is conducted by any Affiliate of the Company or Seller. Such properties and assets constitute all of the tangible personal property and assets necessary for the continued conduct of the Business as currently conducted and are owned or leased (under a valid leasehold arrangement) by the Company and none of such properties and assets are held by any Affiliate of the Company or Seller other than as set forth in Section 5.24 of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule.

The Company has a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in its Leased Real Property, in each case free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than the Real Estate Encumbrances. All such Real Property Leases are in full force and effect, and there are no existing breaches or defaults by, or any events that with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a breach, default, or an event of default by, the Company under any Real Property Lease to which it is a party, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, by any other party to any such Real Property Lease. To the Knowledge of Seller, there exists no condition, restriction or reservation that would prevent the Business, and the Company in its operation of the Business after the Closing Date, from enforcing its rights with respect to Leased Real Property after the Closing to the same full extent the Company could if the Contemplated Transactions did not occur. The operations of the Company on the Leased Real Property do not violate any applicable Law. All material certificates of occupancy, permits, licenses, approvals and other authorizations required to be held by the Company in connection with the past and present operations of the Company and the Business on the Leased Real Property have been lawfully issued to the Company and are, as of the date of this Agreement, and will be following the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, in full force and effect. The Leased Real Property is in satisfactory operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted). Correct and complete copies of the Real Property Leases, including all amendments and modifications thereto, have been delivered or made available to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement, and no changes have been made to any Real Property Leases since the date of delivery. The Leased Real Property has not been subleased or licensed by the Company, and the Company is the only party in occupancy of the Leased Real Property.

5.17 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Section 5.17(a) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list of each Benefit Plan. The Company has no liability with respect to any compensatory or benefit agreement, plan, policy, fund, arrangement, and program other than the Benefit Plans. No Benefit Plan covers any current or former service provider of the Company located outside of the United States, and the Company has never been obligated to contribute to any such plan. With respect to each Benefit Plan, copies of the documents, if any, described below have been delivered or made available to Purchaser: (i) the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination letter or opinion letter issued with respect to each Benefit Plan obtaining or relying upon such a letter and all other determination letters, rulings, opinion letters, information letters, or advisory opinions issued by the IRS, the United States Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation during the current calendar year or any of the preceding three calendar years; (ii) Forms 5500 and summary annual reports, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial reports, and valuations prepared for the current plan year and the three (3) preceding plan years; (iii) all current plan documents and amendments or, in the case of an unwritten Benefit Plan, a written description thereof; (iv) summary plan descriptions and summaries of material modifications; (v) all current trust agreements, insurance contracts, and other documents relating to the funding or payment of benefits; and (vi) all material correspondence received by the Company from any Governmental Entity relating to such Benefit Plan received during the current calendar year or any of the preceding three calendar years.

Each Benefit Plan which is required to satisfy Code Sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) has been, or will be, tested for compliance with, and has satisfied, or will satisfy, the requirements of, such Sections of the Code for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the requirements of the Code. Each Benefit Plan intending to be a safe harbor 401(k) plan has met the requirements for such a plan, including the applicable notice content and delivery requirements. Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, or with respect to a prototype plan, can rely on an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the prototype plan sponsor, to the effect that such Benefit Plan is so qualified and that the plan and the trust related thereto are exempt from federal Income Taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code. To the Knowledge of Seller, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to cause the revocation of such determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or the unavailability of reliance on such opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, as applicable. All benefits, contributions, transfers and premiums or other payments required by and due under the terms of each Benefit Plan or applicable Law have been timely paid and accrued in accordance with the terms of such Benefit Plan, the terms of all applicable Laws and GAAP. To the Knowledge of Seller, there have been no prohibited transactions or breaches of any of the duties imposed on “fiduciaries” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) by ERISA with respect to the Benefit Plans that could reasonably be expected to result in any liability or excise tax under ERISA or the Code being imposed on the Company. The Company has reserved all rights necessary to amend or terminate each Benefit Plan that is sponsored or maintained without the consent of any other Person, and have reserved all rights necessary to cease participation in each other Benefit Plan without the consent of any other Person.

No excise Tax or penalty under the ACA is outstanding or has accrued, or will become due with respect to any period prior to the Closing.

(d) Neither the Company nor any member of the Controlled Group has ever had an obligation to contribute to a (i) “defined benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA, (ii) a pension plan subject to the funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (iii) a “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or Section 414(f) of the Code, (iv) a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Section 210(a) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code, (v) “welfare benefit fund” as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code or (vi) a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association (within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code).

(e) Other than as required under Section 4980B of the Code or other applicable Law, no Benefit Plan provides benefits or coverage in the nature of health, life, or disability insurance following retirement or other termination of employment (other than death benefits when termination occurs upon death). No Benefit Plan provides benefits to any individual who is not a current or former employee of the Company, or a dependent or other beneficiary of any such current or former employee. With respect to each group health plan benefiting any current or former employee of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group that is subject to Section 4980B of the Code, the Company and each member of the Controlled Group has complied in all material respects with the coverage continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA. No Tax under Code Section 5000 has been incurred by the Company or any member of the Controlled Group with respect to any Benefit Plan, or other plan or arrangement, and no circumstance exists which could give rise to such Taxes.

(f) To the Knowledge of Company, there has been no material oral or written representation or communication with respect to any aspect of the Benefit Plans made to employees or former employees of the Company which is not in accordance with the written or otherwise preexisting terms and provisions of such plans. To the Knowledge of Seller, neither the Company nor any member of its Controlled Group, any administrator or fiduciary of any Benefit Plan (or any agent of any of the foregoing) has engaged in any transaction, or acted or failed to act in any manner, which could subject Seller, the Company or Purchaser to any direct or indirect Liability (by indemnity or otherwise) for breach of any fiduciary, co-fiduciary, or other duty under ERISA. There is no pending or threatened assessment or Proceeding relating to a Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, is there any basis for one. No Benefit Plan is currently the subject of an audit or other inquiry from the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Department of Labor, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, or other Governmental Entity.

(g) To the Seller’s Knowledge, the governing plan documents and annual reports or returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial valuations, summary annual reports, and summary plan descriptions issued with respect to the Benefit Plans are correct and complete in all material respects, have been, to the extent applicable, timely adopted, timely filed with the United States Department of Labor, and timely distributed to participants of the Benefit Plans, and there have been no material changes in the information set forth therein.

(h) Except as set forth in Section 5.17(g) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not (either alone or in combination with any other event) (i) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, result in any funding, result in the forgiveness of indebtedness or increase the amount of any payment, compensation or benefit due any such director, manager, employee, independent contractor, consultant or officer under any Benefit Plan, (ii) result in any new or increased contribution required to be made to any Benefit Plan or (iii) give rise to the payment of any amounts or benefits that, individually or in combination with any other amount or benefit owed under any Benefit Plan, would not be deductible in accordance with Section 280G of the Code.

(i) Each Benefit Plan that provides for the deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code is, and has been properly operated and documented in writing in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. No current or former service provider to the Company is or has been subject to any Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code due to a documentary or operational failure thereunder, and no such operational or documentary failures have occurred, whether or not such failures were corrected pursuant to applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance. No current or former service provider to the Company is entitled to a gross-up, make whole or other payment as a result of the imposition of any Tax or penalty under Section 409A or 4999 of the Code.

(j) Neither the Company nor any member of its Controlled Group has made or is obligated to make any nondeductible contributions to any Benefit Plan or to pay compensation to any employee that would be nondeductible under Code Section 162(m) if any of the entities were a publicly held corporation within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). The actuarial present values of all accrued deferred compensation entitlements (including entitlements under any executive compensation, supplemental retirement, or employment agreement) of employees and former employees of the Company and any members of its Controlled Group, whether or not subject to the provisions of Code Sections 412 and 430 or ERISA Section 302, have been fully reflected on the Financial Statements to the extent required by and in accordance with GAAP.

(w) with respect to the Company or the Business, make or change any Tax election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, amend any Tax Return, fail to file on a timely basis any Tax Return, fail to pay on a timely basis any Tax, enter into any closing or similar agreement with respect to Taxes, settle any Tax claim or assessment, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, or consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment; or

(x) agree, whether in writing or otherwise, to do any of the foregoing.

7.2 Access to Information. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company and each of their respective representatives to, (a) provide to Purchaser and its representatives reasonable access to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company, the books and records thereof (including Tax Returns) and the assets of the Company, and (b) furnish as promptly as practicable such information concerning the Company, the Business and the Acquired Shares as Purchaser or their representatives may reasonably request; provided, however, that Seller or the Company may withhold any document or information the disclosure of which would violate any applicable Law (provided that Seller or the Company, as the case may be, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure of such document or information in a manner that does not violate any applicable Law, and shall otherwise notify Purchaser of any such disclosure withheld pursuant to this proviso); provided further, however, that any such access or disclosure shall not require Seller or the Company to waive any applicable privilege (including attorney-client privilege) nor to violate any confidentiality obligation. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, to which the Purchaser undertakes to abide, until the Closing, at which time the confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

7.3 Reasonable Best Efforts; Third Party Consents.

(a) Each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect, and obtaining, all necessary filings, consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, Permits or orders from all third parties and Governmental Entities, including those consents and approvals identified in Schedule 8.11(e), so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable. To the extent Purchaser reasonably requests Seller or the Company to assist Purchaser in obtaining the financing referred to in Section 9.2(g), Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such assistance, at Purchaser’s expense.

7.4 Seller’s Disclosure Schedule Updates.

(a) Within seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, Seller will provide an updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule to Purchaser. In the event the updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule or the original Disclosure Schedules delivered on the date hereof identifies any matters that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect on or with respect to the Company or its Business, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article X by providing written notice of termination of this Agreement to Seller within fourteen (14) Business Days after receipt of the updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule, or otherwise Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the matters set forth in the updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule and the updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to have modified Seller’s representations and warranties for all purposes under this Agreement. The right of termination set forth this Section 7.4(a) shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy with respect to matters disclosed in the updated Seller’s Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Thereafter, if necessary, in Seller’s sole discretion, on a periodic basis between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller may supplement or amend Seller’s Disclosure Schedule and deliver such supplemented or amended Seller’s Disclosure Schedule to Purchaser with respect to any fact, occurrence, event, effect, change, circumstance or development occurring after the Effective Date. If any such supplement or amendment gives Purchaser a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article X, Purchaser shall provide notice of termination of this Agreement to Seller within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such supplement or amendment, or otherwise Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the matters set forth in such supplement or amendment and such supplement or amendment will be deemed to have modified Seller’s representations and warranties for all purposes under this Agreement.

7.5 Stockholder Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Seller shall, in accordance with applicable Laws and their respective charter and bylaws, (i) establish a record date for a special meeting of its stockholders to be held solely for the purpose of obtaining the Seller Stockholder Approval (the “Stockholders Meeting”), (ii) give notice of the Stockholders Meeting and mail include such information in an information statement or other proxy materials as determined by the Company and Seller, with Purchaser’s input, (iii) include in such information in an information statement or other proxy materials and use reasonable best efforts to solicit votes or proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and (iv) hold the Stockholders Meeting; provided, however, that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting from its originally noticed date for a reasonable period (but not more than thirty (30) calendar days, individually or in the aggregate) only (A) in order to solicit additional proxies so as to establish a quorum, (B) to allow time for the filing or dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure documents which the Seller’s board has determined in good faith is necessary to be filed or disseminated under applicable Law, or (C) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Seller Stockholder Approval; provided, further, that the Stockholders Meeting shall occur at least three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date. Once the Seller has established a record date for the Stockholders Meeting, neither Seller nor the Company shall change such record date or establish a different record date, or cause the same to be changed, for the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Each of the Company, Seller and Purchaser shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its subsidiaries, directors, officers and (to the extent reasonably available to the applicable party) stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any such information in an information statement or other proxy materials. Such information may include, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, such certifications and questionnaires as may be required from the underlying equity holders of Seller for federal and state securities law purposes.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend for the purchase and sale of the Acquired Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as a tax-deferred reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and for this Agreement to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). The Parties shall report, act and file their respective Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, and no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment in any Tax Return or in any audit, examination, or administrative or judicial proceeding, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts not to take any action that is reasonably likely to cause the purchase and sale of the Acquired Shares pursuant to this Agreement to fail to qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

(b) Tax Returns for Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Seller will, at Seller’s expense, timely prepare, or cause to be timely prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns, prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice of the Company (unless otherwise required by Law or the terms of this Agreement), for the Company for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.6, if such Tax Returns are filed after the Closing Date, Seller will permit Purchaser to review and comment on each of such Tax Returns (i) if such Tax Return in an Income Tax Return, for at least 30 days prior to the due date (with applicable extensions), and (ii) if such Tax Return is not an Income Tax Return, for at least 10 days prior to the due date (with applicable extensions). Purchaser may provide any written comments to Seller not later than 15 days, with respect to an Income Tax Return, or 5 days, with respect to other Tax Returns, after receiving any such Tax Return, and Seller will accept the reasonable comments of Purchaser. If Purchaser does not provide any written comments with the required period, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. Seller will pay an amount equal to all Taxes shown due on any such Tax Returns to Purchaser no later than five days before the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid to any Tax Authority, except to the extent and in such amount as such Taxes were taken into account in the calculation of Closing Date Indebtedness, and Purchaser or the Company will timely pay such Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company will join Purchaser’s consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and as applicable, state or local income tax purposes) effective as of the day after the Closing Date, (ii) the taxable year of the Company will end as of the end of the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, (iii) to the extent applicable Laws in other taxing jurisdictions so permit, the Parties will elect to cause the taxable year of the Company to terminate on the Closing Date. The Company shall allocate all of its items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit accruing, or otherwise taken into account, on the Closing Date to the tax period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or pursuant to the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii)).

(c) Straddle Period Tax Returns. Purchaser will timely prepare and file, or cause to be timely prepared and filed, all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods beginning on or before, and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.6, all such Tax Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice of the Company unless otherwise required by Law or the terms of this Agreement. To the extent any such Tax Returns are not prepared in accordance with past custom and practice, Purchaser will permit Seller the opportunity to review and comment on each of such Tax Returns for at least 10 days prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) and filing of such Tax Returns. Seller may provide any written comments to Purchaser not later than 5 days after receiving any such Tax Return, and Purchaser will accept the reasonable comments of Seller. If Seller does not provide any written comments with 5 days, Seller will be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. Seller will pay an amount equal to all Taxes shown due on any such Tax Returns that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Straddle Period (as determined in accordance with Section 7.6(d)) to Purchaser no later than five days before the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid to any Tax Authority, except to the extent and in such amount as such Taxes were taken into account in the calculation of Closing Date Indebtedness, and Purchaser or the Company will timely pay such Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on and includes the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the day after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 7.6(d). The portion of any such Tax that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts, or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts, or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity or entity that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code in which the Company owns a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time). The portion of Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period will be calculated in a corresponding manner.

(e) Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns (including amendments thereto), audits, examinations, and administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation includes the retention and (upon such other Party’s request) the provision of books and records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns and making employees available during normal business hours on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Following the Closing, Purchaser will cause the Company to (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date until three months after the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority; and (ii) give the other Parties reasonable prior, and in no event less than five Business Days, written notice to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if any such other Parties so request, Purchaser and Seller, as the case may be, will allow such other Parties to take possession of such books and records.

(f) Certain Controversies. This Section 7.6(f) and not Section 11.4 will control any inquiry, assessment, Proceeding, or other similar event relating to any Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period of any of the Company (a “Tax Matter”). Purchaser will notify Seller as soon as practicable after the commencement of any Tax Matter relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Matter”) or any Straddle Period, provided however, that the right of any person to be indemnified under the terms of this Agreement shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, the indemnifying parties are actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Seller will have the right, at the cost and expense of Seller, to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to any Tax Matter that is solely a Pre-Closing Tax Matter and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, preparing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Pre-Closing Tax Matter; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Pre-Closing Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Seller, and (ii) Seller shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Pre-Closing Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed. With respect to any Tax Matter that is (A) not solely a Pre-Closing Tax Matter, or (B) is solely a Pre-Closing Tax Matter but Seller has not provided Purchaser with written notice of its intent to control such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, then Purchaser will have the right to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such Tax Matter and has the right to control the defense, compromise, or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns, and contesting, defending against, and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. If Seller would be required to indemnify Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Tax Matter controlled by Purchaser then: (1) Seller will have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Purchaser, and (2) Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of Seller without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed.

7.7 Expenses; Transfer Taxes.

(a) Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all Transaction Expenses will be paid by the Party incurring such expense (and all such expenses incurred pre-Closing by the Company will be expenses of Seller); provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the Accountant, if applicable, will be paid or reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.4(e)(iii) and/or Section 2.5(c).

(b) Provided that the Closing takes place, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, and registration Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement will be paid by Seller when due. At the expense of Seller, Purchaser or the Company will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, and registration Taxes and fees. If required by applicable Law, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

7.8 Further Assurances; No Avoidance.

(a) From time to time, as and when requested by any Party, each other Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting Party may reasonably request to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Each Party agrees that such Party will not, through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, or sale or other transfer of assets, or by any other voluntary act, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the covenants, stipulations, or conditions to be observed or performed in any Transaction Document by such Party.

(c) During the 24-month period after the Closing, Seller agrees (i) to cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates and counsel, to the extent reasonably requested, in the registration, issuance, protection, perfection, contest, or defense of any Company Intellectual Property owned at Closing, and (ii) to make reasonably available their personnel, to provide any testimony and access to their books and records in connection with, and to provide the Company with such other assistance as the Company may reasonably request, in each case at the sole expense of the Company (except as results from a breach of this Agreement), for the purpose of protecting the Company Intellectual Property owned at Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this subsection (c) is intended to require Seller to take any action against his, her, or its self interest in connection with any direct dispute with Purchaser and its Affiliates, including any such dispute under the Transaction Documents or any claim for indemnity under this Agreement.

7.9 Publicity. Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company and Seller, on the other hand, shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other before issuing, and give each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other analogous public statement with respect to this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any other analogous public statement prior to such consultation and without considering carefully and in good faith all comments timely received from the other party, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or rule or regulation of NYSE American in the case of Purchaser.

7.10 Seller Release.

(a) Seller (i) represents, warrants, and acknowledges that Seller has been fully advised by Seller’s attorney that, under certain statutory or common-law principles applied in certain states, a general release does not extend to claims that a creditor does not know or suspect to exist in such creditor’s favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such creditor must have materially affected such creditor’s settlement with the debtor, and (ii) hereby expressly waives the benefits thereof and any rights Seller may have under any statute or common law principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction.

(b) Seller hereby (i) generally, irrevocably, unconditionally, and completely releases and forever discharges each of the Releasees from, and hereby irrevocably, unconditionally, and completely waives and relinquishes, each of the Released Claims, and (ii) irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Released Claim, or commencing, instituting, or causing to be commenced, any litigation, action, audit, suit, investigation or proceeding of any kind against any Releasee with respect to the Released Claims.

(c) Seller hereby acknowledges and intends that this release will be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Released Claims and expressly consents that this release will be given full force and effect in accordance with every express term or provision, including those (i) relating to any Released Claims, or (ii) relating to unknown and unsuspected Released Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and/or unanticipated claims).

7.11 Certain Restrictions.

(a) Seller acknowledges and agrees that, in light of (x) Purchaser’s substantial investment in the Company, including its good will, customer relationships, employee relationships, Intellectual Property and other proprietary and/or confidential information, (y) Purchaser’s present intent to expand upon the scope, geographic, industry, types of services and otherwise, of the Business’ relationships with its current and former customers, and (z) the continued employment of certain employees of the Company by the Company or its post-Closing Affiliates following the Closing Date, as a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, for a period of two (2) years commencing on the Closing Date, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser:

(i) own, consult for, provide services to, engage in sales, brokerage, or marketing for, manage, participate in, be employed by, permit its, his, or her name to be used by, or be connected or do any business, or otherwise have any direct or indirect interest in, whether as a manager, officer, director, employee (including of any competitor of the Business), partner, sole proprietor, agent, broker, representative, independent contractor, consultant, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, shareholder, owner, joint venture partner, or otherwise, any Person or business engaged in a business that competes with Purchaser or the Company, including any business that designs, develops, manufactures, markets and/or sells endovascular catheters (any such business, a “Competing Business”), or a type of business planned as of the Closing Date to be entered into by the Company within the 12-month period immediately following the Closing Date, throughout North America, the UK, and the EU; provided, however, that the foregoing does not prohibit: (A) a Seller’s ownership of 2.0% or less of the stock of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a nationally or internationally recognized securities exchange, automated dealer quotation system or in a U.S. or foreign over-the-counter-market; or (B) a Seller’s passive ownership of less than 2.0% of the equity interest in a private equity fund that is not formed specifically to invest in a particular Competing Business;

(ii) (A) induce or solicit, or attempt to induce or solicit, any then-current employee or contractor of any member of Company Group, to terminate or reduce such employee or contractor’s employment or engagement with any member of Company Group, or to accept employment with, provide services to, or partner with another Person, (B) in any way materially interfere with the relationship between any member of Company Group, on the one hand, and any employee or contractor thereof, on the other hand, or (C) hire or attempt to hire any then-current or past (within the preceding 12 months, as applicable to such time) employee or contractor of any member of Company Group; or

(iii) call on or solicit any customer, client, strategic partner, joint venture partner, breach-coach or other similar referral source, vendor, supplier, consultant, contractor, licensee, licensor, bona fide potential acquisition or investment target or other material business relation (collectively, “Excluded Persons”) of any member of Company Group (including any Excluded Persons of the Company at any time during the 12-month period immediately prior to the Closing Date), in order to induce or attempt to induce such Excluded Person to utilize the services of a Competing Business or cease doing business with any member of Company Group or its Affiliates, or in any way materially interfere with the relationship between any Excluded Person and any member of Company Group or its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the placement of general advertisement that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area, but is not targeted specifically towards employees or contractors of any member of Company Group will not be deemed to breach the non-solicit provisions of Section 7.11(a)(ii); provided that the preceding clause will not limit or otherwise modify the prohibitions against hiring set forth in Section 7.11(a)(ii)(C).

(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 7.11 (collectively, the “Restrictions”) are reasonably designed to protect Purchaser’s substantial investment in the acquisition of the Company and are reasonable with respect to their duration, geographical area and scope. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 7.11 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought, and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the state, provincial and federal courts in any such jurisdiction. If any particular provision(s) or portion of this Section 7.11 is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 7.11 will be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision(s) or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 7.11 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(c) Seller recognizes and affirms that in the event of breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7.8, money damages would be inadequate and that Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, Seller agrees that each member of Company Group and its Affiliates, will be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, to enforce its and Purchaser’s rights and Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.8 not only by an action or actions for damages, but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without any requirement of notice or to post any bond or deposit) in order to enforce or prevent any violations (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) of the provisions of this Section 7.8 including injunctive relief to restrain the violation of such covenants by Seller or by any person or persons acting for or with Seller in any capacity whatsoever.

7.12 Exclusivity.

(a) Prior to the Closing, or until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, neither Seller nor the Company shall, and each such Person shall cause its and their respective shareholders, members, officers, employees, directors, managers, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly induce, knowingly assist or take any action with the intent to facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries with respect to, or the making of, any inquiry, proposal or offer (whether or not in writing, and including any proposal or offer to Seller) from any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and its Affiliates, that may constitute, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; (ii) engage or enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions, negotiations or agreements with any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and its Affiliates, regarding, or intended to result in, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; (iii) furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, assets or businesses, or afford access to the assets, business, properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates to any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and its Affiliates, or cooperate in any way with any Person or groups of Persons, in each such case for the purpose of contemplating, knowingly assisting, or knowingly facilitating any proposal that may constitute, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; or (iv) enter into an Alternative Transaction or any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, term sheet or other similar document (whether oral or written) regarding, or that is intended to result in, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction.

(b) Until the Closing or the earlier termination of his Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days after receipt thereof by Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any proposal of the kind described in this Section ‎7.12 (including the identity of the proposing party and the proposed terms thereof), any request for information with respect to any such proposal or any inquiry with respect to or which could result in a proposal of the kind described in this Section ‎7.12.

(c) In addition to any other remedy that may be available to Purchaser at law, in equity or otherwise, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be liable to Purchaser for any breach of the obligations set forth in this Section ‎7.12 by any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, securityholders, agents, subsidiaries, representatives or members (including those not party hereto). Seller (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s remedies at law for any breach of Seller’s, the Company’s or their Affiliates’ obligations hereunder would be inadequate, and agree and consent that, in addition to any other relief available to Purchaser at law or in equity, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including specific performance, may be granted in a proceeding brought to enforce any provision hereof without the necessity of proof of actual damage or the posting of a bond or other security.

7.13 Resale Registration Statement.

(a) Purchaser shall prepare and, within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date, file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3, or, if such registration statement is not available, such other form as may provide for a registered resale, under the Securities Act (together with all amendments or supplements thereto, and all information incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of the Closing Shares issued and Earnout Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement (“Registrable Securities”). Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing of the Registration Statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be maintained effective until the earliest to occur of (i) the sixth anniversary of the date the Registration Statement has first become effective, or (ii) the date that all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable pursuant to Section 2.5 have actually been sold, or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restrictions (including as to volume or manner of sale), including preparing and filing any amendments, post-effective amendments, and prospectus supplements as may be reasonably requested by Seller or required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by Purchaser or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold. Purchaser shall, at least three (3) days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, Purchase shall furnish a copy thereof to Seller.

(b) For not more than sixty (60) consecutive days or for a total of not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, Purchaser may, by written notice to the Seller, suspend the use of any prospectus included in the Registration Statement if Purchaser’s board of directors or an authorized committee thereof determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (x) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning Purchaser, the disclosure of which Purchaser’s board of directors or such committee reasonably determines to be significantly disadvantageous to the Purchaser and its stockholders, or (y) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that the Registration Statement or prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (and, in the event of a suspension pursuant to clause (y), Purchaser agrees to use reasonable best efforts to complete such amendment or supplement as soon as reasonably practicable). The Company and the Seller shall (a) promptly furnish such information, questionnaires, certificates or other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with any such Registration Statement and (b) use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be furnished by the appropriate representatives of the Company or by a Seller such information, questionnaires, certificates or other documents as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the filing of any such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to take any action pursuant to this Section (c) with respect to Seller that Seller furnish to Purchaser a fully completed questionnaire and such other information in writing regarding itself, the Purchaser Common Stock held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities by Seller as Purchaser shall reasonably request.

During the 30-day period commencing upon the delivery to the Indemnifying Person of a Direct Claim Notice (the “Dispute Period”), the Indemnifying Person will deliver to the Indemnified Person a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Person: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person; (ii) agrees, with specificity as to the reasons and amount, that part (but not all) of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Person; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person. Any part (or all) of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed by the Indemnifying Person to be owing to the Indemnified Person pursuant to the Response Notice will be referred to as the “Contested Amount.” If a Response Notice is not timely received by the Indemnified Person prior to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the 30th day of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnifying Person will be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person.

(e) Payment of Full Claimed Amount. If (i) the Indemnifying Person delivers a timely Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person, or (ii) the Indemnifying Person does not deliver a timely Response Notice during the Dispute Period, then, subject to the limitations of this Article XI, (A) if a Purchaser Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, the Seller Indemnifying Parties will pay such Indemnified Person any amount of the Claimed Amount that remains unpaid; or (B) if a Seller Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Purchaser will pay to such Indemnified Person cash in an amount equal to the Claimed Amount.

(f) Payment of Less Than Full Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Person delivers a timely Response Notice agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person, then, subject to the limitations of this Article XI, (i) if a Purchaser Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Seller Indemnifying Parties will pay such Indemnified Person any amount of the Agreed Amount that remains unpaid; or (ii) if a Seller Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Purchaser will pay to such Indemnified Person cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount.

(g) Settlement of Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Person delivers a timely Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person resolve such dispute as to all or a portion of the Contested Amount (which mutually resolved amount will then become an “Agreed Amount”), then the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person will execute a written settlement agreement, and then, subject to the limitations of this Article XI, (i) if a Purchaser Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Seller Indemnifying Parties will pay such Indemnified Person any amount of the Agreed Amount that remains unpaid, or (ii) if a Seller Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Purchaser will pay to such Indemnified Person cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount.

(h) Failure to Settle Contested Amount. If the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are unable to resolve any part of the dispute relating to any Contested Amount during the 30-day period commencing upon the delivery of the Response Notice, then with respect to the remaining Contested Amount, either the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person (with Purchaser or Seller as the sole authorized agents of the Parties, as the case may be) may submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction within one year following the delivery of the Response Notice, and the remaining Contested Amount will only be payable upon the earlier of the agreement of the parties or entry of a final, non-appealable Order concerning the matter issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Award”), and, subject to the limitations of this Article XI, (i) if a Purchaser Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Seller Indemnifying Parties will pay to such Indemnified Person any amount of the Final Award that remains unpaid after such reduction; or (ii) if a Seller Indemnitee is the Indemnified Person, Purchaser will pay cash to such Indemnified Person in an amount equal to the amount of the Final Award. If neither the Indemnified Person nor the Indemnifying Person submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction within such one-year period following delivery of the Response Notice, such dispute will be deemed resolved in favor of the Person delivering the Response Notice.

(i) Defense of Third-Party Claims. The Indemnifying Person will be entitled to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim on the terms set forth in this Section 11.4(i), provided that (A) the Indemnifying Person promptly notifies the Indemnified Person in writing (but, in any event, within 10 Business Days following the delivery of the Third-Party Claim Notice) of the Indemnifying Person’s intent to conduct such defense, and (B) if any of Purchaser or its Affiliates are the Indemnified Person under this Agreement with respect to such Third-Party Claim, such Third-Party Claim (I) has not been brought by then-current customers or vendors of Purchaser or its Affiliates, and (II) is not otherwise disruptive to the Company if not defended directly by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Subject to the foregoing, the Indemnified Person will be entitled to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim on the terms set forth in Section 11.4(i)(iii), provided that the Indemnifying Person has not elected to conduct the defense pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(i) If the Indemnifying Person does deliver such written notice of its intent to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.4(i), the Indemnifying Person will assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim; except that: (A) the Indemnifying Person must provide the Indemnified Person with an affidavit attesting that the Indemnifying Person has sufficient financial resources to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; (B) the Third-Party Claim must seek (and continue to seek) solely monetary damages and may not involve any criminal proceeding, action, investigation or allegations; (C) the Indemnifying Person must expressly agree in writing that as between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person may only satisfy and discharge the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement; (D) counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person; (E) the Indemnifying Person expressly agrees in writing that it will be liable for any Loss incurred by the Indemnified Person, subject only to the limitations set forth in this Article XI; and (F) the Indemnified Person has not been advised in writing by counsel that (I) a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, or (II) the Indemnified Person has one or more defenses not available to, and not otherwise being covered by counsel to, the Indemnifying Person (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (F) of this paragraph are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”).

(ii) Subject to continued fulfillment of the Litigation Conditions:

(A) the Indemnifying Person will proceed to defend such Third-Party Claim in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Person, subject to any applicable limitations in this Article XI;

(B) the Indemnifying Person will keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third-Party Claim;

(C) the Indemnified Person will cooperate in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim and will furnish such non-privileged records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by, and at the cost of, the Indemnifying Person in connection therewith;

(D) the Indemnified Person will have the right to participate (but not control), at its sole cost and expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim; except that, if (A) any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met, or (B) the Indemnifying Person fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, and, in either case, the Indemnified Person provides notice and the Indemnifying Person fails to cure within 10 days, then the Indemnified Person may assume and control the defense of the Third-Party Claim; and

(E) the Indemnifying Person may not settle, adjust, or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, unless such settlement or compromise includes only the payment of funds satisfied entirely by the Indemnifying Person.

(iii) If the Indemnified Person proceeds with the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4:

(A) all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such Third-Party Claim (whether or not incurred by the Indemnified Person) to the extent they are indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article XI will be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnifying Person, subject to any applicable limitations in this Article XI;

(B) the Indemnified Person will proceed to defend such Third-Party Claim in a commercially reasonable, diligent manner;

(C) the Indemnifying Person will make available to the Indemnified Person any documents and materials (other than privileged documents or materials) in the possession or control of the Indemnifying Person that may be necessary to the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim and will furnish such information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Person in connection therewith;

(D) the Indemnified Person will keep the Indemnifying Person reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third-Party Claim; and

(E) the Indemnified Person may not settle, adjust or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied.

(iv) Additionally, the Indemnifying Person will lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third-Party Claim if it fails to accept a tender of the defense of the Third-Party Claim. In such event, the Indemnified Person will have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that at least 10 days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Person.

11.5 Exclusive Remedy; No Double Recovery. Other than Fraud and the equitable remedies described in this Agreement, the exclusive remedy of any Party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article XI for Losses arising out of or relating to any Purchaser Indemnifiable Matter or Seller Indemnifiable Matter will be indemnification under this Article XI. No Indemnified Person will be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that any Indemnified Person had already recovered the same Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

11.6 Specific Performance. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the rights of each Party with respect to such matter are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, in the event that any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may be without an adequate remedy at law. In the event that any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such Party in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party or Parties will be entitled to: (a) subject to the terms of this Agreement and in addition to any remedy at law for damages or other relief, (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) seek any other equitable relief.

11.7 Indemnification in Case of Strict Liability or Indemnitee Negligence. The indemnification provisions in this Article XI will be enforceable regardless of whether (a) the Liability is based upon past, present, or future acts, claims, or Laws (including any past, present, or future bulk sales Law, Environmental Law, fraudulent transfer act, products liability, securities, or other Law) and (b) any Person (including any Person from whom indemnification is sought) alleges or proves the sole, concurrent, contributory, or comparative negligence of the Person seeking indemnification or the sole or concurrent strict liability imposed upon the Person seeking indemnification.

11.8 Determination of Losses. Losses payable to or received by an Indemnified Person under this Article IX will be reduced by the amount of any (a) insurance proceeds with respect to such Losses, net of any increase in premiums or other out-of-pocket costs of the Indemnified Person as a result of such insurance claims; and (b) indemnification payments, contribution payments, collections, or reimbursements with respect to such Losses (collectively, “Third-Party Recovery Proceeds”), in each case, actually received by any Indemnified Person, it being understood that in no event will any indemnification payment under this Article IX be delayed in anticipation of the receipt of any Third-Party Recovery Proceeds nor will any Indemnified Person be obligated to make any insurance or other claim, or to initiate any Proceeding, against any third party, provided that any Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (but shall not be required to institute legal proceedings) to pursuant insurance claims that may reduce any indemnified Losses hereunder. The representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Purchaser Indemnitees, will survive Purchaser’s investigation and not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or any knowledge of, any of the Purchaser Indemnitees or any of their respective agents or representatives.

11.9 Treatment of Indemnity Payments for Tax Purposes. All amounts payable by Seller to or for the benefit of a Purchaser Indemnitee under this Article XI will, for Tax purposes, be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser to Seller, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.10 Payment or Reimbursement of Losses. Subject to the limitations of this Article XI, payment or reimbursement for Losses incurred by an Indemnified Person will be made by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Person within 15 Business Days of the final resolution of any related claim for indemnification under the terms of this Agreement. Any offset against the Earnout Consideration by the Purchaser with respect to a claim for indemnification by any Purchaser Indemnitee under this Article XI will be deemed a payment by Seller to such Purchaser Indemnitee.

The information in Seller’s Disclosure Schedule constitute (a) exceptions to particular representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement, or (b) descriptions or lists of Equity Securities, assets, Liabilities, and other items referred to in particular representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement. The statements in Seller’s Disclosure Schedule relate to the specific sections of this Agreement to which they refer and shall be deemed disclosed in all other sections of the Agreement to which such fact or item may reasonably apply so long as such disclosure is in sufficient detail to enable a reasonable person to identify the other Section of this Agreement to which such information is responsive.

13.2 Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, each Party to this Agreement and such Party’s successors and assigns (if any). No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the other Parties’ prior written consent; provided, however, that Purchaser may, with notice to but without the consent of the other Parties, assign all (but not less than all) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any lenders of Purchaser or the Company or any Affiliate of either as collateral security.

13.3 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied will give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or other representatives of such employees or former employees, or trustees, administrators, participants, or beneficiaries of any Benefit Plan, will have any rights under this Agreement or under any of the Transaction Documents to which he, she, or it is not personally a party, and (b) other than as an express party to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, if applicable, no creditor of any of the Parties will have any rights under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Agreement may be deemed or construed to affect any change or amendment to any Benefit Plans, and nothing in this Agreement modifies or will be deemed to modify the ability of any Benefit Plan to be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms.

13.4 Notices. All notices and other communications pursuant to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed given if delivered personally, sent by electronic mail, sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return-receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the Parties at the addresses set forth in Appendix B or to such other address as the Party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other Parties in writing in accordance with this Section 13.4, which will not constitute an amendment for the purpose of Section 13.7.

13.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered will be an original, and all of which when executed will constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by electronic image scan transmission in .pdf will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by electronic image scan transmission in .pdf will be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. Any Party that delivers an executed counterpart signature page by electronic image scan transmission in .pdf will, upon the request of a Party, promptly thereafter deliver a manually executed counterpart signature page to such Party; provided, however, that the failure to do so will not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Agreement.

13.6 Entire Agreement; Exclusivity of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, along with the Exhibits, Schedules, and Seller’s Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement and thereto, contain the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. The representations, warranties, and covenants in this Agreement are intended to be part of the bargain among the Parties. Except in the case of Fraud arising from any breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants made in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, respectively, none of the Parties will be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner by any representations, warranties, or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities, and obligations respecting the subject matter of this Agreement exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, the Parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s length negotiations; all Parties specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of any ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s length transaction.

13.7 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except pursuant to the written agreement of Purchaser and Seller and any attempted amendment to the contrary will be void ab initio.

13.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision will be fully severable from this Agreement and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be liberally construed to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement; provided, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement will be determined or held to be invalid or unenforceable because such provision is overly broad as to duration, geographic scope, activity, subject or otherwise, such provision will be deemed amended by limiting and reducing it to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, nor will the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement with respect to any Person affect the validity or enforceability of such provision with respect to any other Person. To the extent not prohibited by Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of Law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

13.9 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) will be governed solely by the internal laws of the State of Delaware , without regard to the conflict-of-law principles thereof.

(c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

13.10 Waiver in Writing. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege, or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege, or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege, or remedy. No Person will be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege, or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege, or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver will not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

13.11 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event of any legal action or other legal proceeding among the Parties relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing Party of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing Party.

Form of Voting and Support Agreement

This VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 11, 2024, by and among Stereotaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Stereotaxis”), and the stockholders of Access Point Technologies EP, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), set forth on Schedule A hereto (each a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”). Stereotaxis and the Stockholders are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

BACKGROUND

A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Stereotaxis and the Company and APT Holding Company, a Minnesota corporation (“NewCo”), are entering into that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”), which provides (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein) for the sale of all of the outstanding equity capital stock of the Company to Stereotaxis (the “Transaction”) (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Purchase Agreement).

B. As of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record and/or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”) set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such shares of Common Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock collectively, the “Shares”).

C. The Parties acknowledge that, substantially concurrently with entering into this Agreement, NewCo will be the sole Seller of Company Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, following the reorganization of the Company into a holding company structure under Minnesota law, wherein NewCo does or will own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and the former stockholders, including the Stockholders, will own all of the equity voting interests in NewCo in the same number and proportion as the current ownership of the Company (the “NewCo Shares”), and accordingly, all New Interests held by the Stockholders will be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement even if not expressly set forth herein.

D. As a condition and material inducement to Stereotaxis entering into the Purchase Agreement, Stereotaxis have requested that the Stockholders agree, and, in order to induce Stereotaxis to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders are willing to agree, to the matters set forth herein.

In consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations, and undertakings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Article I AGREEMENT TO VOTE; GRANT AND APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

1.1 Agreement to Vote. From and after the date hereof until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to and in compliance with the terms therein (such earlier date, the “Expiration Date”), each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the time this Agreement is in effect, at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders or of voting equity holders of NewCo, as the case may be, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the Company’s stockholders, each Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that Stockholder’s Shares or NewCo Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (i) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Shares or NewCo Shares, as the case may be, to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (ii) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all such Shares or NewCo Shares, as the case may be, (A) in favor of (1) the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (2) the formation of NewCo and NewCo’s participation in the Transaction and (3) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of the Company or the voting equity holders of NewCo to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Transaction, (B) against any material change in the capitalization of the Company or of NewCo (except for its initial formation), or the corporate structure of the Company or of NewCo, as the case may be, and (C) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended, or would reasonably be likely to prevent, materially impede, materially delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s, NewCo’s or Stereotaxis’s ability to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the Transaction (clauses (A) through (C), the “Required Votes”).

1.2 Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and appoints, Stereotaxis and any designee thereof as such Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in accordance with the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) (or other applicable state law for the NewCo Shares), for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable), the Shares and/or NewCo Shares, as the case may be, owned by such Stockholder as of the applicable record date in accordance with the Required Votes; provided, that each Stockholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 1.2 shall be effective if, and only if, such Stockholder has not delivered to the Company prior to the meeting at which any of the matters described in Section 1.1 are to be considered, a duly executed irrevocable proxy card directing that the Shares or NewCo Shares of such Stockholder be voted in accordance with the Required Votes; provided, further, that any grant of such proxy shall only entitle Stereotaxis or its designee to vote on the matters specified by Section 1.1(ii), and each Stockholder shall retain the authority to vote on all other matters.

Each Stockholder hereby represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares, if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes all such proxies,, and shall file any such revocation and appointment hereunder in accordance with any applicable provisions of the MBCA.

Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1.2, if it becomes effective, is given in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this Agreement. The Parties hereby further affirm that the irrevocable proxy, if it becomes effective, is coupled with an interest and is intended to be irrevocable until the Expiration Date, at which time it will terminate automatically. The proxy granted by the Stockholder herein shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of the Stockholder. If for any reason any proxy granted herein is not irrevocable after it becomes effective, then the Stockholder granting such proxy agrees, until the Expiration Date, to vote, or to cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to vote, the Shares and/or NewCo Shares, as the case may be, in accordance with the Required Votes. The Parties agree that the foregoing is a voting agreement.

Any purported Transfer of Shares or NewCo Shares inconsistent with this Section 1.3 shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the ability of Stockholder to exercise, prior to the end of the Expiration Date, any Company Stock Options and Other Rights held by Stockholder.

The restrictions set forth in Section 1.3(a) shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares or NewCo Shares by Stockholder (i) for the net settlement of such Stockholder’s Company Stock Options and Other Rights (defined below) (to pay the exercise price thereof and any Tax withholding obligations), (ii) for the exercise of such Stockholder’s Company Stock Options and Other Rights and the sale of a sufficient number of such Shares acquired upon exercise of such Company Stock Options and Other Rights as would generate sale proceeds sufficient to pay to the Company the aggregate applicable exercise price of shares then exercised under such Company Stock Options and Other Rights and any Tax withholding obligations of the Company arising as a result of such exercise, (iii) in the case of any Stockholder that is a partnership or limited liability company, to one or more partners or members of Stockholder or to an affiliated corporation, trust or other business entity under common control with Stockholder or (iv) in the case of any Stockholder that is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary; provided, that in each case, the transferee shall concurrently with such Transfer execute a customary joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Stereotaxis agreeing to be a “Stockholder” hereunder if such transferee is not already a party to this Agreement, and to perform all obligations as a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Shares; provided, further, that such Stockholder shall remain liable for the breaches by any of such transferee of the terms hereof.

1.4 Inconsistent Agreements. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, it (a) shall not enter into, at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Shares and (b) shall not grant, at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Shares.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed (a) in the case of an amendment, by Stereotaxis and each Stockholder, and (b) in the case of a waiver, by the Party (or Parties) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

5.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated (including by sale of stock, operation of applicable Law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets) by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Stereotaxis may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. Any purported assignment inconsistent with this Section 5.6 shall be null and void.

5.7 No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

5.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Schedule A hereto), the proxy granted in Section 1.2, and, to the extent referenced herein, the Purchase Agreement, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, undertakings, arrangements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

5.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Stockholder and Stereotaxis agree that (a) its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of Stereotaxis (in the case of a Stockholder) or each Stockholder (in the case of Stereotaxis), in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

5.10 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Minnesota.

Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each of the Stockholders agrees and acknowledges that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the Stockholders accordingly agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, Stereotaxis shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Stockholder will allege, and each Stockholder hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

5.12 Headings. Headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

5.13 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” when used in this Agreement shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. References in this Agreement to specific laws or to specific provisions of laws shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument referred to herein shall mean such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. Each of the Parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

5.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party hereto has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures.

5.15 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is unenforceable and a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

5.16 No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the Parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties hereto unless and until the Purchase Agreement is executed by all Parties thereto.
