The Asset Purchase Agreement includes a three year non-compete requirement, prohibiting the Seller and the Member from competing against the Assets, customary representations and indemnification obligations, subject to a $25,000 minimal claim amount and certain limitations on liability disclosed in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The Asset Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to fund up to $600,000 in connection with remote hub installation, marketing and IT, subject to certain milestones set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Funding Obligation”).

(b) The term “Registrable Securities” means (i) any and all shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (which shares of Registrable Common Stock are referred to herein as the “Common Shares”); (ii) stock issued in lieu of the stock referred to in (i) in any reorganization which has not been sold to the public; or (iii) stock issued in respect of the stock referred to in (i) and (ii) as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or the like, which has not been sold to the public. For avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock which are issuable pending achievement of certain milestones referenced in the APA are not Registrable Securities until such securities are fully issued and outstanding under the terms met in the APA and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(c) The terms “Holder” or “Holders” means any person or persons to whom Registrable Securities were originally issued or qualifying transferees under subsection 1.9 hereof who hold Registrable Securities.
1 |
(d) The term “Initiating Holders” means any Holder or Holders, of 40% or greater of the aggregate of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.
(e) The term “SEC” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(f) The term “Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with subsections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company.)
1.2 Company Registration.
(a) Registration. If at any time after the date that is two (2) months after the date hereof, the Company shall determine to newly register any of its securities, for its own account or the account of any of its shareholders, other than: (i) a registration on Form S-8 relating solely to employee stock option or purchase plans, or a registration on Form S-4, and (ii) the registration statement filed on Form S-1 on or about October 15, 2019, as heretofore or hereafter amended; the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof at least 15 days prior to the initial filing of the registration statement relating to such offering; and
(ii) include in such registration (and compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in subsection 1.2(b) below.
(b) Underwriting.
(i) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to subsection 1.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to subsection 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 1.2, if the underwriter managing such public offering determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting, or may exclude Registrable Securities entirely from such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among Holders requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by each of such Holders as of the date of the notice pursuant to subsection 1.2(a)(i) above; provided that the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless the securities being sold by shareholders other than the Holders are excluded from the Underwriting on a proportional basis. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
2 |
1.3 Prior S-1. For clarification, and not withstanding anything to the contrary, the Company is not required to include the Registrable Securities on the registration statement Form S-1 on or about October 15, 2019, as heretofore or hereafter amended.
1.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1 shall be borne by the Company except as follows:
(a) The Company shall not be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to subsection 1.3, the request for which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders, in which latter such case, such expenses shall be borne by the Holders requesting such withdrawal. In the event that a withdrawal by the Holders is based on material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under subsection 1.3, such registration shall not be treated as a counted requested registration for the purposes of subsection 1.3 hereof, and in which case, such expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(b) The Company shall not be required to pay fees or disbursements of more than one firm of legal counsel to the Holders, such fees to not exceed $1,000 in the aggregate.
(c) The Company shall not be required to pay underwriters’ fees, discounts or commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
1.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder participating therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 1.4, at its expense the Company will:
(a) with respect to a demand made for registration pursuant to Section 1.3, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days or if such registration statement is on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) and provides for sales of securities from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act for up to one year.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) The Company shall:
(i) make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders, the managing underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and one firm of attorneys designated by the Holders (upon execution of customary confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel), at reasonable times and in reasonable manner, financial and other records, documents and properties of the Company that are pertinent to the conduct of due diligence customary for an underwritten offering, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter or attorney in connection with a registration statement as shall be necessary to enable such persons to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act.
(ii) use its reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

The Holders hereby agree to suspend, and to cause any managing underwriter to suspend, use of the prospectus contained in a registration statement upon receipt of such notice under clause (C), (E) or (F) above until, in the case of clause (C), such stop order is removed or rescinded or, in the case of clauses (E) and (F), the Company has amended or supplemented such prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission or otherwise.
If the notification relates to an event described in clauses (E) or (F), the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to such seller and each underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall 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 no misleading.

1.6 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Holder of Registrable Securities and each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which such registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any preliminary, final or summary prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or any state securities law applicable to the Company or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any such state law and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification of compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, within a reasonable amount of time after incurred for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or underwriter specifically for use therein.
6 |
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, partners, persons or underwriters for any reasonable legal or any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder in an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, that the total amount for which any Holder shall be liable under this subsection 1.6(b) shall not in any event exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such registration; and provided further, that a Holder will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Holder by an instrument duly executed by the Company or underwriter specifically for use therein.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this subsection 1.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure resulted in material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
7 |
(d) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 1.6, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, with respect to such offering of securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults, but also any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 1.6(d). The amount paid or payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything in this section 1.6 to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this section 1.6(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Indemnifying Party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Indemnified Parties relate, less the amount of any indemnification payment made pursuant to Section 1.6.
(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by, or on behalf of, any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.
1.7 Information by Holder. Any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to herein.
1.8 Transfer of Registration Rights. A Holder’s rights to cause the Company to register its securities and keep information available, granted to it by the Company under subsections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.8, may be not be assigned except for an assignment (i) by such Holder of at least 100,000 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and like events), (or such lesser number of shares as represents all of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holder, or (ii) to any constituent partners or members of a Holder which is a partnership or limited liability company, or to affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of a Holder, provided, that (a) the Company is given written notice by such Holder at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee; and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) the assignee or transferee of such rights agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (c) solely as to transfers pursuant to clause (iii) above, any transferees or assignees agree to act through a single representative. The Company may prohibit the transfer of any Holders’ rights under this subsection 1.9 to any proposed transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a competitor of the Company, or when such transfer may violate applicable securities laws.
8 |
1.9 Subordination of Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Holder expressly agrees and acknowledges that the rights granted to it pursuant to this Agreement are subordinated to and expressly subject to the rights granted to certain other holders of the Company’s securities pursuant to any and all registration rights agreements entered into by the Company prior to or after this Agreement.
1.11 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration (not to exceed 180 days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock or other securities of the Company following the effective date of public offering of securities , it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except common stock included in such registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares of securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
1.12 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any rights to take any actions to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.10 Termination of Registration Rights. No holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 at any time when such Holder may sell all its shares in a three (3) month period under Rule 144 of the Act.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
For the reasons described above, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:
1. | Services. |

i. | Seller agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the services (the “Services”) set forth on the exhibits attached hereto (as such exhibits may be amended or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Service Exhibits”) to Buyer for the respective periods and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the respective Service Exhibits. | ||
ii. | Notwithstanding the contents of the Service Exhibits, Seller agrees to respond in good faith to any reasonable request by Buyer for access to any additional services that are necessary for the operation of the Business and which are not currently contemplated in the Service Exhibits. Any such additional services so provided by Seller shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respect to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on a Service Exhibit as of the date hereof. | ||
iii. | The parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Services. |
iv. | Subject to Section 2(c), Section 2(d) and Section 3(e), the obligations of Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on the end date specified in the applicable Service Exhibit (the “End Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on one or more of the Service Exhibits or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to the applicable End Date. Accordingly, Buyer may terminate any Service, in whole and not in part, upon notification to Seller in writing of any such determination. |

Audit Committee Charter
Role:
The Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and reporting practices of the Company, and such other duties as directed by the Board. The Committee’s purpose is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, the audits of the Company’s financial statements, the qualifications of the public accounting firm engaged as the Company’s independent auditor to prepare or issue an audit report on the financial statements of the Company and internal control over financial reporting, and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor. The Committee reviews and assesses the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to stockholders, the Company’s processes to manage business and financial risk, and compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements. The Committee is directly responsible for the appointment (subject to stockholder ratification) compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent auditor.
Membership:
The membership of the Committee will consist of at least three directors of the Company, all of which members shall satisfy the definition of “independent” and the requirements of Audit Committee members set forth under the listing standard of the NASDAQ Capital Market, or such other exchange(s) upon which the Company’s securities are then listed from time to time (the “Exchange”). If the Committee is comprised of at least three members who meet the criteria above, one additional director who is not “independent” as defined under the rules of the Exchange and is not currently an executive officer or employee or a family member of an executive officer, may be appointed to the Committee if the Board, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determines that such individual’s membership on the Committee is required by the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and such member otherwise fits within the requirements of the Exchange (with such member being defined as an “Excepted Member”). An Excepted Member may not serve longer than two years. An Excepted Member may not serve longer than two years. An Excepted Member’s service on the Committee will be subject in all cases to the rules and requirements of the Exchange.
At least one member of the Committee shall be a “financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and shall have an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, and be able to read and understand financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, statements of operations and statements of cash flow. The Board shall review and designate the Committee member(s) that meets the “financial expert” criteria. All Committee members shall have an understanding of internal control over financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions.
No Committee member shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company at any time during the three years preceding becoming a member of the Committee (unless such member qualifies as an Excepted Member). The Board appoints the members of the Committee and the chairperson. The Board may remove any member from the Committee at any time with or without cause. Each Committee member may be required to satisfy certain independence requirements of applicable securities laws, rules or guidelines and any other applicable regulatory rules. Determinations as to whether a particular director satisfies the requirements for membership on the Committee shall be made by the full Board.
Trxade Group, Inc. Audit Committee Charter Page 1 of 8 |
Generally, no member of the Committee may serve on more than three audit committees of publicly traded companies (including the Audit Committee of the Company) at the same time. For this purpose, service on the audit committees of a parent and its substantially owned subsidiaries, if any, counts as service on a single audit committee.
Operations:
The Board shall designate one member of the Committee to act as its chairperson. The Committee will meet a minimum of four times a year (once a quarter). Additional meetings may occur as the Committee or its chair deems advisable. The Committee will cause to be kept adequate minutes of its proceedings, and will report on its actions and activities at the next quarterly meeting of the Board. Committee members will be furnished with copies of the minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by conference telephone or similar communications equipment) action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board. The Committee is authorized to adopt its own rules of procedure not inconsistent with (a) any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, (b) any provision of the Bylaws of the Company, or (c) the laws of the State of Delaware.
Communications:
The independent auditor reports directly to the Committee. The Committee is expected to maintain free and open communication with the independent auditor, the internal auditors, and management. This communication will include periodic private executive sessions with each of these parties.
Authority:
The Committee’s role is one of an oversight function. The Committee is not intended to replace the Company’s management, internal auditors and outside auditors. It is the responsibility of the Company’s management to prepare the Company’s financial statements and to develop and maintain adequate systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and it is the internal and outside auditors’ responsibility to review and, when appropriate, audit these financial statements and internal controls.
The Committee recognizes that the financial management and the internal and outside auditors have more knowledge and information about the Company than do Committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee cannot provide any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements or internal controls or any professional certification as to the outside auditors’ work. In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee shall undertake the activities and have the authority as described in this Charter.
The Committee will have the resources and authority necessary to discharge its duties and responsibilities. The Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate outside counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate, including sole authority to approve the firms’ fees and other retention terms. The Company will provide the Committee with appropriate funding, as the Committee determines, for the payment of compensation to the Company’s independent auditor, outside counsel, and other advisors as it deems appropriate and administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention. The Committee will have access to the Company’s books, records, facilities, and personnel. Any communications between the Committee and legal counsel in the course of obtaining legal advice will be considered privileged communications of the Company, and the Committee will take all necessary steps to preserve the privileged nature of those communications.
The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Committee.

Performance Evaluation:
The Committee shall review its own performance and reassess the adequacy of this Charter at least annually in such manner as it deems appropriate, and submit such evaluation, including any recommendations for change, to the full Board for review, discussion and approval.
Relationship With Auditors:
The Committee shall have sole authority and be directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation, oversight, evaluation and termination (subject to stockholder ratification, if applicable) of the work of the Company’s outside auditors engaged, including resolution of disagreements between Company management and the auditor regarding financial reporting, for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services.

The Committee shall:
(i) | If required by any applicable law or rule of the Exchange (or such other exchange upon which the Company’s securities are listed) request from the outside auditors, at least annually, a written report describing: (a) the outside auditors’ internal quality-control procedures; and (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review or peer review of the outside auditors, or by any inquiry or investigation by government or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, with respect to one or more independent audits carried out by the outside auditors, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; | |
(ii) | If required by applicable law or rule of the Exchange (or such other exchange upon which the Company’s securities are listed) review and discuss with the outside auditors any relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the outside auditors; and | |
(iii) | Receive from the independent auditor annually a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented by such other standards as may be set by law or regulation or Exchange rules; and discuss with the independent auditor in an active dialogue any such disclosed relationships or services and their impact on the independent auditor’s objectivity and independence and present to the Board its conclusion with respect to the independence of the independent auditor. |
After reviewing the foregoing reports and the outside auditors’ work throughout the year, the Committee shall evaluate the outside auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence. This evaluation shall include the review and evaluation of the lead partner(s) of the outside auditors. In making its evaluation, the Committee may take into account the opinions of management and the Company’s internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function) and shall take appropriate action in response to the outside auditors’ report and the opinions of those the Committee consults to satisfy itself of the outside auditors’ independence and adequate performance.
Trxade Group, Inc. Audit Committee Charter Page 3 of 8 |
The Committee should further consider whether, in order to assure the continuing independence of the outside auditors, there should be regular rotation of the lead audit partner (in addition to what may already be required by law or regulation).
The Committee shall establish hiring policies with respect to employees and former employees of the outside auditors.
The Committee shall review and discuss with management, the outside auditors and the internal auditors the performance and adequacy of the Company’s internal audit function, including the internal auditors’ responsibilities, budget, and staffing.
