(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of each class of capital stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Outstanding Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share (excluding treasury stock which shall be cancelled) of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive 3,600 shares of Parent Common Stock (“Merger Consideration”).

(c) In the event that any Certificate for shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent promptly shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion, require the delivery of the indemnity of the holder of such shares but not a bond securing such indemnity.

(d) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Except to the extent provided for in Section 11.6, the Stockholders shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Parent, Sub and the Surviving Corporation (each, a “Parent Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”) in respect of, and hold the Parent Indemnitees harmless against, any and all Liabilities, monetary damages, judgments, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, losses and expenses, including amounts paid in settlement, interest, court costs, reasonable costs of and expenses of attorneys incurred by the Parent Indemnitees (“Damages”) arising out of or resulting from (i) the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Stockholders or the Company contained in this Agreement or (ii) any breach, non-fulfillment or failure to perform any agreement or covenant of the Stockholders or Company contained in this Agreement; except that the Stockholders only shall be severally liable for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV.

11.2 Indemnification by Parent. Parent shall indemnify the Stockholders in respect of, and hold such holders harmless against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by such holders arising out of or resulting from (i) the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Sub contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach, non-fulfillment or failure to perform any agreement or covenant of Parent or Sub contained in this Agreement, or (iii) the operation of the business of the Surviving Corporation after the close of business on the Closing Date.

11.3 Method of Asserting Claims. (a) Claims by Parent Indemnitee. All claims for indemnification (“Indemnity Claims”) made by a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.6 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI. All Indemnity Claims made by a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XI shall be made to the Stockholder Representative who shall have responsibility and authority to advise the Stockholders thereof and to take any action under this Article XI on behalf of the Stockholders with respect to such claim, including settling such claim or acknowledging any Liability of the Stockholders pursuant to this Article XI.

(b) Claims by Stockholders. All Indemnity Claims made by the Stockholders pursuant to this Article XI shall be made by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of such Stockholders, and the Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority to act as “Indemnitee” hereunder on behalf of the Stockholders and to take any action under this Article XI on behalf of the Stockholders with respect thereto, including settling or withdrawing such claim.

(c) Third Party Claims. If Parent, on behalf of any Parent Indemnitee, or the Stockholder Representative seeks to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XI (in each case, an “Indemnitee”), it shall give prompt written notification to the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any third party claim or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article XI may be sought, but the failure of an Indemnitee to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, except (i) as provided in Section 11.4 below and (ii) if (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party incurs additional expenses or the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure to give timely notice. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing, and in form and substance acceptable, to the Indemnitee that any damages, fines, costs, judgments or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding constitute Damages for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI; and provided, further, that Parent shall have the right to control the defense to the extent of any claim or demand seeking equitable relief or remedial action on the part of a Parent Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee have a conflict of interest or different defenses available with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement of such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Direct Claims. With respect to claims other than third party claims, the Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Indemnifying Party of such claims, but the failure of the Indemnitee so to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, except (i) as provided in Section 11.4 below and (ii) if (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party incurs additional expenses or the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure to give timely notice.

11.4 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time until the close of business on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, except that (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1 and 4.4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect indefinitely; provided, however, that if notice of any claim for indemnification is given before expiration of such period, then notwithstanding the expiration of such time period, the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement applicable to such claim shall survive until but only for purposes of the resolution of such claim. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article must be made no later than December 1, 2024.

11.5 Stockholder Representative. (a) The Stockholders agree that [**] shall act as the Stockholder Representative, and approval of this Agreement by the Stockholders shall constitute ratification and approval of such designation. The Stockholder Representative may be removed by the vote of Persons which collectively owned more than 50% of the Company Common Stock at the Effective Time of the Merger (“Majority Holders”). In the event of the death, resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by a vote of Majority Holders. Any failure by the Majority Holders to appoint a new Stockholder Representative upon the death, resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative shall not have the effect of releasing the Stockholders from any liability under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or otherwise.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to them under this Agreement (including with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI); provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative will have no obligation to act on behalf of the Stockholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Parent shall have the right to rely conclusively upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Stockholders.

(d) The parties shall treat any indemnification payment under Article XI as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration. To the extent that any such indemnification payment is treated as other than an adjustment to the Merger Consideration and is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any taxing authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any related costs incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

(e) Cooperation with Respect to Tax Returns. Parent and the Stockholders agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, and each at their own expense, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Company as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, for the preparation for any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes.

(f) Transfer Taxes. The Stockholders shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees against) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (including, without limitation, real property transfer gains taxes, UCC-3 filing fees, FAA, ICC, DOT, real estate and motor vehicle registration, title recording or filing fees and other amounts payable in respect of transfer filings) as levied by any taxing authority or governmental agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on the Stockholders or on Parent or its Affiliates). The Stockholders hereby agree to file all necessary documents (including, but not limited to, all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders shall be permitted to cause the Company to pay the Connecticut conveyance tax payable as a result of this transaction provided the same results in an adjustment to the Working Capital of the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall pay the vehicle registration fees and taxes which shall not give rise to an adjustment to the Working Capital of the Company.

11.7 Limitation on Stockholders’ Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except with respect to claims based on fraud or intentional or deliberate misrepresentation, (a) the Stockholders shall not be liable (i) under this Article until the aggregate amount of all Damages incurred or suffered with respect to all claims made by Parent Indemnitees hereunder exceeds $25,000 (the “Stockholder Threshold Amount”). If after the aggregate of all Damages suffered or incurred exceeds the Threshold Amount, Parent shall be entitled to receive one and one-half ($1.50) dollars in respect of each one dollar of indemnified claims in excess of the Stockholder Threshold Amount. The Stockholder Threshold Amount shall not apply to claims concerning Sections 4.4 (Title to Company Capital Stock) and 5.9 (Taxes). The aggregate liability of the Stockholders hereunder for Damages shall not exceed $400,000 and the liability of each individual Stockholder for Damages shall not exceed his pro-rata portion of such $400,000 based upon the proportion of the shares of Company Common Stock owned by him at the Closing Date, notwithstanding the foregoing, the limit of the liability of a Stockholder for a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Sections 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 shall equal the value of the consideration received for his shares.

Except as set forth in Article XI, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.8 Severability; Enforcement. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by law, and each party hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

12.9 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement will be inadequate and that any party by whom this Agreement is enforceable shall be entitled to specific performance in addition to any other appropriate relief or remedy. Such party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief.

12.10 Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the Supreme Court of the State of New York and each party hereto agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each party hereto further and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any action, suit or proceeding.
