The closing (“Closing”) is anticipated to occur no later than 120 days from the date of the Agreement, or by February 1, 2017 (the date of Closing, the “Closing Date”).

The Purchase Price will be paid as follows:
Acquisition of Foreign Subsidiaries
As part of this Transaction, ICTV will also acquire from PHMD all of the shares of capital stock of the Foreign Subsidiaries.

The sale of the Transferred Business will result in the disposition of substantially all of PHMD’s assets, requiring shareholder approval of the transaction. The Company will prepare and file the appropriate documents to obtain such approval from its shareholders by October 19, 2016.
Additional Terms
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that ICTV will make offers of employment to certain employees of the Transferred Business and that PHMD will not solicit such employees (or any other employees of ICTV) for employment or other services for a period of five years and that PHMD will not compete with ICTV with respect to the Transferred Business for a period of five years. It also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, each of its subsidiaries and ICTV, as well customary indemnification provisions among the parties.

Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 3, 2016, the Company and its subsidiary Radiancy, Inc. entered into a General Release (the “Release”) with Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc. (“Viatek”), under which all parties to the Release agreed to settle the ongoing litigation between the companies.
Radiancy had begun legal action against Viatek in 2013 over Viatek’s Pearl and Samba hair removal products which Radiancy believed infringed the intellectual property covering Radiancy’s no!no! hair removal devices. An initial suit was filed in the United States Federal Court, Southern District of New York and includes claims against Viatek for patent infringement, trademark and trade dress infringement, and false and misleading advertising. A second suit against Viatek was filed in Canada alleging trademark and trade dress infringement and false and misleading advertising. Viatek’s response contained a variety of counterclaims and affirmative defenses against both Radiancy and its parent company PhotoMedex, including, among other counts, claims regarding the invalidity of Radiancy’s patents and antitrust allegations regarding Radiancy’s conduct.
Under the Release, the parties agree to release and discharge each other from any actions, claims, liabilities, causes of action, suits and other rights of action that the parties may have had in the past, currently, or in the future, concerning the suit filed in the United States, the suit filed in Canada, and a non-binding Letter of Intent from Viatek dated August 5, 2016, under which the parties had briefly explored the acquisition by Viatek of certain assets of the Company and Radiancy as a settlement method. Viatek will pay the Company and Radiancy the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) in exchange for the execution of the Release.
The parties have agreed to file, and request that the respective Courts execute, an Order of Dismissal with Prejudice, or a similar pleading, of all claims in the suits within three (3) business days of the execution of the Release. Radiancy agreed to pay the court costs, if any, involved in the filing of these Orders; the parties also agreed not to seek discretionary costs or other costs in the litigation from each other.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Assets shall not, and shall not be deemed to, include any of the Excluded Assets, and neither Purchaser nor Parent shall be deemed to assume any of the Excluded Liabilities.
Section 2.2 Purchase Price. The Parties hereto agree that the Purchase Price shall be Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The Parent and the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price to the Sellers or their designees as hereinafter provided (it being understood that the Parent and the Purchaser are jointly and severally liable for the obligation to pay the Purchase Price as hereinafter set forth):

Section 7.2 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any matter (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 7.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that will serve the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim), all in reasonable detail; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. If PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies, if any, available to them under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirements.
39
(b) If an Indemnified Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 7.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of such Third Party Claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that a particular Third Party Claim is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) and the aggregate amount of such Third Party Claim exceeds the Indemnifying Person’s applicable maximum aggregate liability, the Indemnifying Person shall not reject any settlement or compromise offer without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall from time to time and otherwise at the Indemnified Person’s request apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting Proceeding and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such claim, liability or expense or otherwise thereto as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request, and shall diligently defend the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability to any third party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have properly assumed the defense and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the Indemnified Person shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, in either case, would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken together). Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, that such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

ESCROW AGREEMENT
ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of October 4, 2016, by and among ICTV Brands Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”); ICTV Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Purchaser”); PhotoMedex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PHMD”); Radiancy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Radiancy”), PhotoTherapeutics Ltd., a private limited company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“PHMD UK”), Radiancy (Israel) Limited, a private corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (“Radiancy Israel” and, together with PHMD, Radiancy, and PHMD UK, the “Sellers” and each, a “Seller”), those investors listed on the Schedule of Investors attached hereto as Exhibit A (each an “Investor” and together, the “Investors”) and Bevilacqua PLLC, District of Columbia professional limited liability company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).
BACKGROUND
The Parent, the Purchaser and the Sellers are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser is acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the Sellers as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The Parent and the Investors are parties to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated on or about the date hereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Parent will sell to the Investors shares of its common stock in exchange for cash, some of which it will use to fund the Purchase Price.
This Agreement is the Escrow Agreement contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Purchase Agreement as in effect on or about the date of this Agreement. In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms when used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings indicated, which meanings are applicable to both the singular and plural forms:
“Direction Letter” means a joint letter of direction executed by the Purchaser, the Investors and PHMD and delivered to the Escrow Agent. A Direction Letter (i) shall clearly identify itself as a Direction Letter delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) may direct the Escrow Agent to pay all or a specified portion of the Escrow Fund (and if less than all of the Escrow Fund, the Direction Letter shall clearly state the “net amount payable”) to a specified person or persons at a specified time or times and in a specified manner or manners, and (iii) may contain such other directions to the Escrow Agent as may be required by this Agreement, reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent or mutually agreeable to the Purchaser, the Investors and PHMD.
“Release Date” shall mean the Outside Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
2. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers hereby designate and appoint the Escrow Agent to serve in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as such, upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.
3. Escrow Account.
(a) Deposit of Escrow Fund. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, cash in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). The Escrow Agent shall deposit such cash into the Escrow Agent’s IOLTA Trust account, which is not an interest bearing account (the “Escrow Account”). The amounts deposited into the Escrow Account that may be held in the Escrow Account from time to time are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall keep appropriate records to reflect the current value from time to time of the Escrow Fund, including appropriate adjustments for disbursements. The Escrow Fund is expected to be paid in accordance with a Direction Letter at the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, the Escrow Agent will not make any payment or distribution from the Escrow Fund except as and in the manner expressly provided by this Agreement.
(b) Rights to Escrow Fund. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors or the Sellers shall have any right, title or interest in or possession of the Escrow Fund. Therefore, (i) none of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors or the Sellers shall have the ability to pledge, convey, hypothecate or grant a security interest in any portion of the Escrow Fund unless and until such Escrow Fund has been disbursed to such party in accordance with Section 4 below and (ii) until disbursed pursuant to Section 4 below, the Escrow Agent shall be in sole possession of the Escrow Fund and will not act or be deemed to act as custodian for any party for purposes of perfecting a security interest therein. Accordingly, no Person shall have any right to have or to hold any of the Escrow Fund as collateral for any obligation and shall not be able to obtain a security interest in any assets (tangible or intangible) contained in or relating to any of the Escrow Fund.
(c) Payments from the Escrow Account. Any payment to be made by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement (whether to the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors, the Sellers or any third party) shall be made by check or wire transfer (upon receipt of written wire transfer instructions of the recipient) out of the Escrow Account.
4. Procedures and Payment from Escrow Account.
(a) Payment of Escrow Fund upon Receipt of Direction Letter or Final Order. The Escrow Fund in the Escrow Account shall be held and disposed of by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors, or the Sellers, as the case may be (i) pursuant to and upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Direction Letter, or (ii) 30 days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of any order, judgment or decree ordering the release of all or a specified portion of the Escrow Fund, accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the recipient to the effect that such order, judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order, judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been noticed, filed or perfected (a “Final Order”).
2
(b) Payment of Escrow Fund upon Termination of Purchase Agreement. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated, then upon receipt of written instructions from the Investors, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such written instructions.
(c) Payment of Escrow Fund upon Release Date. If the Escrow Agent has not received a Direction Letter on or before the Release Date, then upon receipt of written instructions from the Investors, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such written instructions.
5. Escrow Agent.
(a) Protection of Escrow Agent. In consideration of this escrow by the Escrow Agent, the parties agree that:
(i) upon the request of the Purchaser, the Investors or PHMD, the Escrow Agent shall provide a written accounting of the Escrow Fund to the Sellers, the Parent, the Purchaser and the Investors;
(ii) the Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, nor obliged to recognize, any other agreement, including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, between, or direction or instruction of, any or all of the parties hereto even though reference thereto may be made herein; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended at any time or times in accordance with Section 6(g) below;
(iii) subject to Section 6(e) hereof, no assignment of the interest of any of the parties or their successors shall be binding upon the Escrow Agent unless and until written evidence of such assignment in form satisfactory to Escrow Agent shall be filed with and accepted by Escrow Agent;
(iv) the Escrow Agent shall exercise the same degree of care toward the Escrow Fund as it exercises toward its own similar property or similar property held in escrow for the account of others (whichever degree of care is higher), and shall not be held to any higher standard of care under this Agreement. Except for intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors or the Sellers for any act, or failure to act, by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages hereunder;
(v) the Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the validity, value, genuineness or collectability of any security or other document or instrument held by or delivered to it;
3
(vi) the Escrow Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to selling or retaining, or taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to, any securities or other property deposited hereunder;
(vii) the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or service thereof; the Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so; the Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel chosen by it with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with such advice;
(viii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to monitor or enforce compliance by the Sellers, the Parent, the Purchaser or the Investors with any term or provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement;
(ix) if the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions from any of the undersigned with respect to any property held by it in escrow pursuant to this Agreement which, in the opinion of the Escrow Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until it shall be directed otherwise by a Direction Letter or Final Order;
(x) if the Escrow Agent becomes involved in litigation in connection with this Agreement, it shall have the right to retain counsel, and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith; such costs and expenses shall be paid, one-half by the Sellers and one-half by the Parent, the Purchaser and the Investors (provided that the Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any reimbursement for its fees and expenses incurred as a result of its gross negligence, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct);
(xi) the Escrow Agent shall not be liable hereunder for, and the Parent, the Purchaser and the Sellers agree severally (and not jointly) (one-half to be borne by the Parent and the Purchaser and one-half to be borne jointly by the Sellers) to indemnify the Escrow Agent for and hold it harmless as to, any loss, liability or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, paid or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, unless such loss, liability or expense was paid or incurred as a result of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct;
4
(xii) The Parent, Purchaser, Investors and Sellers agree and acknowledge that they have requested Escrow Agent to act as the escrow agent, despite Escrow Agent’s disclosure to the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and Sellers that the Escrow Agent represents the Parent and the Purchaser in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby, or other matters, and the Parent in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and Sellers agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent has disclosed that the Escrow Agent’s representation of the Parent and the Purchaser in connection with Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or other matters, and the Parent in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement may be adverse to (i) its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder or (ii) its duties to the Parent and the Purchaser, and therefore, an actual conflict of interest under the District of Columbia’s Rules of Professional Conduct may exist. Escrow Agent does not believe that its representation of a party hereunder will impair its ability to perform its duties as Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms herein. The Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and Sellers have each had the opportunity to consult with counsel and with full knowledge of all relevant facts the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and Sellers acknowledge, agree and consent to Escrow Agent (i) continuing to act as Escrow Agent hereunder and (ii) continuing to represent the Parent and the Purchaser in the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and in any other matter, including, without limitation, any matter, claim, or dispute between the parties hereto, whether or not Escrow Agent is in possession of the Escrow Fund and continues to act as Escrow Agent. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY CONFLICT OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT ARISES, THE PARENT, THE PURCHASER, THE INVESTORS AND THE SELLERS, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH PARTY’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THERETO. In the event the Parent and the Purchaser elects to discontinue its engagement of Escrow Agent as its attorney, or should an adverse relationship arise between the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers, the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers acknowledge that Escrow Agent may continue without restriction to act as Escrow Agent hereunder;
(xiii) the Escrow Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, resign in a manner consistent with Section 5(c) hereof; and
(xiv) the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers may jointly remove and replace the Escrow Agent at any time, subject to the provisions of Section 5(c).
(c) New Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent shall be removed as escrow agent by the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Escrow Agent or shall resign or otherwise cease to act as Escrow Agent (which resignation shall require as a condition thereto that the Escrow Agent provide the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers at least 30 days’ prior written notice of resignation), the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers shall mutually agree upon a successor which successor shall be deemed to be the Escrow Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed and accepted such appointment by the end of the 30-day period following such removal, resignation or cessation, the escrow agent may apply to any court to commence litigation for the appointment of a successor escrow agent and deposit the Escrow Fund with the then chief or presiding judge of such court (and upon so depositing such property and filing its complaint in interpleader, it shall be relieved of all liability and responsibility under the terms hereof as to the property so deposited), and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses which the Escrow Agent incurs in connection with such a proceeding shall be borne severally, and not jointly, one-half by the Parent and the Purchaser and one-half by and the Sellers. The removal, resignation or other ceasing to act as escrow agent by the Escrow Agent or any successor thereto shall have no effect on this Agreement or any of the rights of the parties hereunder, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
5
(d) Survival of Obligations. The agreements contained in Section 5 shall survive termination of this Agreement and, with respect to any Escrow Agent, the withdrawal or removal of such Escrow Agent.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when personally delivered (including by Federal Express or other reputable courier service) or sent by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, promptly confirmed in writing. Notices, demands and communication to the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors, the Sellers or the Escrow Agent will, unless another address is specified in writing, be sent to the respective address indicated in the Purchase Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement, as the case may be.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the domestic laws of the District of Columbia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the District of Columbia to be applied.
(c) Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties to this Agreement agree that any and all actions arising under or in respect of this Agreement shall be litigated exclusively in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the District of Columbia. By executing and delivering this Agreement, each party to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for itself or himself and in respect of its or his property with respect to such action. Each party to this Agreement agrees that venue would be proper in any of such courts, and hereby waives any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of any such action. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses specified for notice in this Agreement, of any process or summons required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.
(d) Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile execution of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.
6
(e) Successors and Assigns. None of the Sellers, the Parent, the Purchaser, or the Investors shall assign or agree to assign or grant to any other party any rights under this Agreement, including without limitation any rights in or to the Escrow Fund, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(f) Specific Performance. The obligations of the parties hereto (including the Escrow Agent) are unique and any party may seek specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce this Agreement or to prevent violations of the provisions hereof, and no party shall object to specific performance or injunctive relief as an appropriate remedy. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that its obligations, as well as the obligations of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers hereunder, are subject to the equitable remedy of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(g) Amendment, Waiver, etc. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, altered or revoked by a written instrument, signed by the Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors, the Escrow Agent, and the Sellers. The Parent, the Purchaser, the Investors and the Sellers agree to give the Escrow Agent ten (10) days advance notice (or earlier if consented to by the Escrow Agent) of any amendment or modification to this Agreement and to provide the Escrow Agent promptly with copies of any such amendment or modification.
(h) Captions. The paragraph captions used herein are for reference purposes only, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | PROVISION OF SERVICES |
(a) The Provider, as specified on Exhibit A, shall provide to Purchaser each of the services listed on Exhibit A (the “Transition Services”), in each case, for the period of time specified opposite such Transition Service on Exhibit A, each terminable as provided herein. In addition to the foregoing, the Provider agrees to respond in good faith to any reasonable request by Purchaser for access to any additional services that are or were being provided to the Business as of immediately prior to the Closing by the Sellers and/or their Subsidiaries and which are not currently contemplated by Exhibit A. Any such additional services mutually agreed upon by the Parties shall constitute Transition Services, under this Agreement and shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on Exhibit A, as of the date hereof.
(b) The obligation of the Provider to provide a Transition Service shall terminate upon the expiration of the period set forth opposite such Transition Service on Exhibit A; provided, however, that if Purchaser reasonably requests, and the Provider agrees (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), that the Provider continue to provide any Transition Service(s) after the expiration of the period set forth opposite such Transition Service on Exhibit A, as applicable, such Transition Service so provided by the Provider shall continue to constitute a Transition Service under this Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed upon extension period (except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing in connection with the grant of any such extension).
(c) The Sellers agree to continue to assign sufficient resources and qualified personnel as are reasonably required to provide the Transition Services in a manner that enables Purchaser to operate the Business in a manner substantially consistent with the operation thereof by the Sellers and their Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to designate the personnel providing Transition Services prior to the date hereof, but in any event, the personnel providing Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement shall have at least comparable skill and experience to the personnel providing such Transition Service prior to the date hereof. The Provider may not subcontract to a third party, or otherwise make arrangements for a third party to provide to Purchaser any of the Transition Services without the prior written consent of Purchaser. The quantity of Transition Services to be provided under this Agreement shall be as requested by the Purchaser from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1(c), the Provider may modify from time to time the manner of performing Transition Service(s) to the extent such Provider is making changes to allow for adherence to the then-existing policies, practices and methodologies that such Provider uses to provide similar services and functions, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the agreed upon level or quality of service for the applicable Transition Service and provided that the Provider notifies Purchaser of such change in writing at least 60 days prior such change.
(d) In addition to the services listed in Exhibit A, and as part of the Transition Services, the Sellers shall continue to maintain the Warehouse Agreements and shall continue to engage the services of the Warehouse Counterparties provided thereunder for the benefit of the Business, and shall manage such contractual relationship – to the extent it relates to the Business, all on behalf of Purchaser (the “Storage Services”). The Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with the Storage Services until such time as the Purchaser has entered into its own contract with the Warehouse Counterparties or has removed the inventory and raw materials from the applicable Warehouse Locations, but in no event for a period longer than six (6) months as of the Closing. Sellers shall at all times comply with the terms of the Warehouse Agreements and shall not do anything which would cause Sellers’ rights thereunder to terminate or give rise to a default or a breach thereunder. The form of consent for the Warehouse Counterparties with respect to the foregoing relationship is attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(e) In addition to the services listed on Exhibit A, and as part of the Transition Services, the Sellers hereby grant Purchaser an irrevocable, royalty free sub-license to the permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations and consents detailed in Exhibit J (the “Permits”) in order to conduct and operate the Business (the “Sub-license”). The Sub-license shall expire at such time that Purchaser has obtained the Permits in its own name but in no event for a period longer than six (6) months as of the Closing.
2. | EMPLOYEES; FEES |
(a) For such time as any employees of the Provider are providing any Transition Service(s) under this Agreement, (i) such employees will remain employees of the Provider and shall not be deemed to be employees of the Purchaser for any purpose, and (ii) the Provider shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and worker’s compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable taxes relating to such employment.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e), no fees or expenses shall be due or owing by any Party in connection with the receipt or provision of Transition Services hereunder.
(c) For the services set forth on Exhibit A, the Purchaser shall pay to the Provider the documented costs and expenses incurred by the Provider in connection with the provision of those services. The expenses shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Provider within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of an Invoice.
(d) For occupancy in the Premises, the Purchaser shall pay to the Provider the documented lease costs including monthly rental and any utility charges incurred under the applicable leases. The lease costs shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Provider within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of an Invoice.
(e) In consideration for the Storage Services, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Provider for the documented costs and expenses incurred by the Provider for the continued storage of inventory and raw materials at the Warehouse Locations, and for the services of the Warehouse Counterparties in fulfilling and shipping orders for such inventory. The Provider shall provide the Purchaser with monthly invoices (each, an “Invoice”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail such costs and expenses for the relevant period accompanied by supporting documentation evidencing such expenses.

A Provider shall not be responsible for failure or delay in delivery of any Transition Service, nor shall Purchaser be responsible for failure or delay in receiving such Transition Service, if caused by an act of God or public enemy, war, government acts, regulations or orders, fire, flood, embargo, quarantine, epidemic, labor stoppages or other disruptions or any other event which is beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting Party. The Party suffering a force majeure event shall notify the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable and the Provider shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause of the failure or delay. If any such occurrence prevents a Provider from providing any Transition Services, such Provider shall cooperate and reasonably assist Purchaser in its efforts to obtain an alternative source for such service.
5. | PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND RIGHTS |
Each Party acknowledges that the other Party possesses, and will continue to possess, information that has been created, discovered or developed by such Party and/or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to such Party, which information has commercial value and is not in the public domain. The proprietary information of each Party will be and remain the sole property of such Party and its assigns (except to the extent transferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement). Each Party shall use the same degree of care that it normally uses to protect its own proprietary information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the disclosure to third parties of information that has been identified as proprietary to such Party from another Party or that should be understood to be proprietary based on the nature of the information and the manner of its disclosure. No Party shall make any use of the information of the other Party which has been identified as proprietary, or that should be understood to be proprietary based on the nature of the information and the manner of its disclosure, except as contemplated or required by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5 shall not apply to any information that a Party can demonstrate: was (a) at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain through no fault of such Party; (b) received hereunder after disclosure to it from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (c) independently developed by the receiving Party - except to the extent transferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Upon demand of the disclosing Party at any time, or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Transition Service, the receiving Party agrees to promptly return or destroy, at the disclosing Party’s option, any proprietary information of the disclosing Party. If any such proprietary information cannot feasibly be returned or destroyed, the receiving Party shall continue to hold such proprietary information in confidence with the same degree of care that it normally uses to protect its own proprietary information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care.

Sellers hereby grant to Purchaser a sub-license to occupy and use that portion of the Premises which, immediately prior to the Closing, was occupied or used by or for the Business, together with the right to use the common areas and facilities as provided under the respective leases for the Premises (collectively, the “Sub-Leased Premises”), for a period of 6 months commencing on the Effective Date unless the leases for the Premises are terminated by the Orangeburg Landlord, the UK Landlord, the Israel Landlord or the Hong Kong Landlord, as applicable, at an earlier date or, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, such earlier date specified by Purchaser upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Sellers (the “Sub-Lease Term”). Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, Purchaser accepts the Sub-Leased Premises in its “as is” condition.
(b) Utilities, Services and Maintenance. During the Sub-Lease Term, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be provided to the Sub-Leased Premises all electricity, water, HVAC, gas, telephone, facsimile, internet and data connections and service to substantially the same extent that the foregoing are provided generally to the Premises. Purchaser agrees that it shall use the Sub-Leased Premises in accordance with all applicable laws, in a commercially reasonable manner, substantially similar to such Sellers’ use prior to the date hereof, and shall not perform any alterations or improvements in the Sub-Leased Premises during the Sub-Lease Term. Purchaser shall be responsible to keep and maintain the portion of the Sub-Leased Premises occupied by Purchaser in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(c) Access. During the Sub-Lease Term, the employees and officers of Purchaser shall have substantially equivalent access to the Sub-Leased Premises as the Sellers’ employees had to the Sub-Leased Premises prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the right to use (i) access or key cards to enter the Sub-Leased Premises and (ii) any building amenities serving the Sub-Leased Premises, in each case, subject to the respective landlord’s building security procedures and the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the respective lease.

For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may remove all Transferred Assets from the Sub-Leased Premises.
(e) Sellers’ Obligations. Sellers shall at all times comply with the terms of the leases for the Premises and shall not do anything which would cause Sellers’ or Purchaser’s occupancy in any of the Premises to terminate or give rise to a default or a breach under the respective lease or that would result in any additional cost or expense to be incurred under the respective lease.
(f) Casualty and Condemnation. In the event of a casualty or condemnation that renders all or a substantial portion of the Sub-Leased Premises untenantable or inaccessible, the Sub-Lease Term with respect to the Sub-Leased Premises shall terminate upon such event and the Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 6.
(g) Assignment, Subletting. Purchaser shall have no right whatsoever to enter into any license, assignment, sublease, pledge or other occupancy agreement with respect to the Sub-Leased Premises or to permit any other person or entity other than Purchaser to occupy the Sub-Leased Premises.

Purchaser may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Transition Service(s) being provided to it at any time, effective immediately, upon written notice to the Provider that it no longer requests or requires such Transition Service(s). For the avoidance of doubt, a Provider may not, at any time, terminate this Agreement with respect to any Transition Service it is providing to Purchaser. Any termination of this Agreement with respect to any Transition Service shall not terminate this Agreement with respect to any other Transition Service(s) then being provided pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, in the event that Purchaser materially breaches any provision of Section 6 of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within 30 days after it receives notice regarding the breach, Sellers may terminate this Agreement with respect to Section 6.

(c) Following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith to transfer and/or retain all records and take all other actions necessary to provide the other Parties and their respective successors and assigns with sufficient information, to make alternative service arrangements with respect to the services contemplated by this Agreement.
