and Warranties Concerning Seller
Except
as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any section

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof:
2.1
Organization and Power. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction
of its organization. Seller has full power (limited liability company or otherwise) and authority to execute, deliver and perform this
Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the Transactions. Seller has all power (limited liability
company or otherwise) and authority, and possesses all material Permits, necessary to enable it to own or lease and to operate the Purchased
Assets as currently and historically conducted.
2
2.2
Authorization and Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the completion
of the Transactions have been duly authorized by Seller in accordance with applicable Law and the Governing Documents of Seller, and,
except as set forth on Section 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, no other Proceedings or approvals on the part of Seller (including
any creditor, shareholder, member or partner vote or approval) are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Seller is a party or to consummate the Transactions. This Agreement and each of the
Ancillary Documents to be executed and delivered at the Closing by Seller have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller
and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery at the Closing by Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, constitute
valid and legally binding agreements of Seller enforceable against Seller, in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement
of creditors’ rights and (b) the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a Proceeding in equity or at law).
2.3
Non-Contravention; Consents. Except as set forth on Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Seller, the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions
will not (a) contravene any provision of the Governing Documents of Seller, (b) violate or conflict with any Law or Order that is either
applicable to, binding upon or enforceable against Seller or any of the Purchased Assets, (c) conflict with, result in any breach of,
constitute a default (or an event that would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a default) under,
or give rise to a right of payment under or the right to terminate, amend, modify, abandon or accelerate, any Contract, Permit, license
or other instrument that is part of the Purchased Assets, or (d) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or
with respect to any of the Purchased Assets. Except as set forth on Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, no consents, licenses,
approvals or authorizations of, or registrations, declarations or filings with, any Governmental Authority, or any exemptions or waivers
thereof are required to be obtained or made, and no Liens are required to be release, in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents or the consummation of the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller

required for the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer under the iUPDC Agreement or any other agreements or regulatory requirements.
Further, Seller represents and warrants that Seller timely disclosed in writing all subject inventions related to the Purchased Assets
as required by Article VII(C)(1) of the iUPDC Agreement.

Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list as of the Closing of all trademarks, patents,
copyrights, Internet domain names and other material Intellectual Property owned or purported to be owned by Seller that are related
to the Purchased Asset (“Seller Registered Intellectual Property”). Seller is the sole and exclusive owner of all
right, title, and interest in and to all Intellectual Property owned by it, free and clear of all Liens, without the payment of any royalties
or other amounts to any other Person. Section 2.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedule also contains a complete and accurate list as
of the Closing of all Intellectual Property that is not owned by Seller that has been used by Seller at any time during the past twelve
(12) months in the operation of the Purchased Asset pursuant to license, agreement or permission (a “License”). Except
as set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller has the valid and enforceable right to use all such Intellectual
Property pursuant to a valid and enforceable written Contract without the payment of any royalties or other amounts to any other Person.
The Intellectual Property listed in Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule is all of the material Intellectual Property owned,
used or held for use in the operation or conduct of the Purchased Assets (“Seller Intellectual Property”). Except
as set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, each item of Intellectual Property owned or used by Seller immediately

Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all software owned, developed (or being developed), used, marketed, distributed,
licensed, or sold by Seller (other than agreements and licenses for other than commonly available, non-customized third-party software
licensed to the Company for internal use on a nonexclusive basis) that are used by or in connection with the Purchased Assets, and identifies
which is owned, licensed, leased, or otherwise used, as the case may be. Except as set forth in Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure
Schedule, all of such software is either (i) owned by Seller; (ii) in the public domain or otherwise available to Seller without the
license, lease, or consent of any third party; or (iii) used under rights granted to Seller pursuant to a License. No such software that
is or has been, or that is being developed to be, marketed, distributed, licensed, or sold by Seller to customers, is subject to any
“copyleft” or other obligation or condition (including any obligation or condition under any “open source” license
such as the GNU Public License, Lesser GNU Public License, or Mozilla Public License) that could require, or could condition the use
or distribution of such software on, the disclosure, licensing, or distribution of any source code for any portion of such software,
or that could otherwise impose any limitation, restriction, or condition on the right or ability of any Buyer to use or distribute any
such software.
(c)
Seller and its operations have not interfered or conflicted with, infringed upon, or misappropriated, any Intellectual Property rights
of third parties and the continued operation and, to the Knowledge of Seller, use of the Purchased Assets will not infringe, misappropriate,
or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property rights of any Person. Seller has not received any written or oral charge, complaint, claim,
demand, or notice alleging any such interference, infringement, misappropriation, or violation (including any claim that Seller must
license or refrain from using any Intellectual Property rights of any third party). No loss or expiration of any Seller Intellectual
Property is pending, nor to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened or reasonably foreseeable. To the Knowledge of Seller, no third party
has interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated, or otherwise come into conflict with any Seller Intellectual Property rights. Seller
has not received any notices or communications and has no knowledge of any set of facts or circumstances which indicate a likelihood
of any infringement or misappropriation by, or conflict with, any third party with respect to any of its Intellectual Property.

meets the requirements for such exemptions.

or by which Buyer or its properties are bound or affected.

Article
V
Covenants
5.1
General. Seller shall cooperate in an orderly transfer of the Purchased Assets by Buyer and its Affiliates. In case at any time
after the Closing any further actions are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will
take such further actions (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably
request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party. Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, Buyer
will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements and financial data relating to the Purchased Assets, other
than those relating to the negotiation and consummation of the Transactions, to the extent not transferred to Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement.
8
5.2
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.
(a)
For a period of four (4) years following the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, to not (whether for their own account, or as an owner,
operator, manager, consultant, officer, director, employee, investor, agent or otherwise), (i) engage or assist others in engaging in
any Competitive Business, or (ii) own, have any financial interest in, manage, operate, consult with or provide services to any Person
that engages in any Competitive Business, in each case, anywhere within the Applicable Area.
(b)
For a period of four (4) years following the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, and each of their respective
officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns to not (whether for
their own account, or as an owner, operator, manager, consultant, officer, director, employee, investor, agent or otherwise), (i) solicit
or encourage any customer, client, supplier or other Person having a business relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect
to the SubWEC to terminate or alter such relationship regarding the SubWEC to the disadvantage of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (ii)
encourage any Person not to enter into a business relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) impair or attempt to impair
any relationships between Buyer or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective customers, clients, suppliers or other Persons with
whom they have business relationships related to the Purchased Assets.
(c)
The nature and scope of the foregoing protection has been carefully considered by the Parties hereto. The Parties hereto agree and acknowledge
that the duration, scope and geographic areas applicable to such provisions are fair, reasonable and necessary and that adequate compensation
has been received by Seller for such obligations. If, however, for any reason any court determines that any such restrictions are not
reasonable or that consideration is inadequate, such restrictions shall be interpreted, modified or rewritten to include as much of the
duration, scope and geographic area identified in this Section 5.2 as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.
(d)
In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, Buyer shall be entitled, without the
posting of a bond, to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
of money damages as a remedy, including by obtaining an injunction restraining such breach. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
as prohibiting any Party from pursuing any other remedy available to it for such breach or threatened breach. In the event of a Proceeding
brought by Buyer involving Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, the individual or entity that violates the aforementioned section(s)
shall reimburse Buyer for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with
any such Proceeding (including any appeal therefrom) in the event Buyer is the prevailing party in such Proceeding. The existence of
any claim or cause of action by Seller against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of the provisions of Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, which Sections will
be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by Buyer or its Affiliates. In addition, the temporal terms of the restrictions
in this Section 5.2 shall be tolled upon any breach or violation thereof and remained tolled until such breach or violation is
cured or enjoined.
5.3
Confidentiality.
(a)
Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively,
“Group Affiliates”) to, (a) maintain the confidentiality of, (b) not use, and (c) not divulge to any Person, any information
related to the Purchased Assets; provided, that Seller and the Group Affiliates shall not be subject to such obligation of confidentiality
for information that is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates.
If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be required by Law to divulge any such information, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written
notice of each request so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy, and Seller shall cooperate
with Buyer to obtain a protective order or other remedy; provided, that, in the event that a protective order or other remedy
is not obtained, Seller shall furnish only that portion of such information which, in the opinion of its counsel, Seller is legally compelled
to disclose and shall exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such information
so disclosed. Following the Closing, Buyer shall, and cause its controlled Affiliates not to, divulge any confidential information regarding
the terms of this Agreement or the Transaction to any employee or independent contractor of Seller who is not hired or otherwise engaged
by Buyer.
9
(b)
Upon Closing, that certain Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement between Buyer and Seller dated and effective as of November 19,
2025 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall terminate (and the Parties shall take such actions as may be necessary
to cause the Confidentiality Agreement to terminate) and be superseded by this Section 5.3 other than with respect to the Buyer’s
and its Affiliates’ obligations of, and Seller’s and its Affiliates’ rights to, confidentiality and non-use thereunder
with respect to information regarding the Excluded Assets (all such information, the “Seller Confidential Information”).
With respect to Seller Confidential Information, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in the Confidentiality
Agreement to the contrary, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply to such information, shall remain in effect
for a period equal to five (5) years after the Closing and are incorporated herein by reference. If, for any reason, the Closing does
not occur, the Confidentiality Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
5.4
Transition. Immediately following the Closing Date, Seller shall submit all filings and thereafter take all necessary steps to
discontinue the registration and use of the names “SubWEC”, and all similar names and variations thereof. Seller agrees that
Buyer has the right and authority to endorse, without recourse, any Purchased Asset transferred pursuant to this Agreement and Seller
shall furnish Buyer such evidence of this authority as Buyer may request. Seller authorizes and empowers Buyer on and after the Closing
Date to receive and open all mail and other communications received by Buyer relating to the Purchased Assets and to deal with the contents
of such communications in good faith. Seller shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt) pay or deliver
to Buyer any monies or checks relating to the Purchased Assets which are sent after the Closing Date to Seller or any of its Affiliates
which relate to accounts receivable or other assets transferred to Buyer or which should have otherwise been sent to Buyer. Seller will
not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, payor, supplier or
other business associate of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets from maintaining the same business relationships with Buyer and
its Affiliates after the Closing as such party maintained with Seller prior to the Closing. Seller will refer all customer inquiries
relating to the Purchased Assets to Buyer from and after the Closing.
5.5
Public Announcement. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of
this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided, however, that any Party may make any
public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law (in which case the disclosing Party will advise the other Parties
prior to making the disclosure and allow such other Parties to make commercially reasonable changes to the text of such disclosure).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to issue press releases, make public announcements and communicate
with employees, customers and suppliers without the consent or participation of any other Party (provided that no such public announcements
will disclose the economic terms of the Transactions).
5.6
Access to Records. Seller recognizes that certain historical and other information to be retained by Seller may be needed
by Buyer in connection with the operation of its business after Closing (including for litigation, threatened litigation, Tax and financial
audits and other similar purposes). Following the Closing, Seller shall grant to Buyer and its representatives access and the right to
make copies of any records related to the Purchased Assets which have been retained by Seller as may be necessary or useful in connection
with the conduct of Buyer’s business.
10
5.7
Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as Buyer is actively contesting or defending against any Proceeding in connection
with any fact, circumstance, condition, occurrence, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving
Seller, each of the other Parties will cooperate with Buyer and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel,
and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at
the sole cost and expense of Buyer (unless Buyer is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to Article VII below).
5.8
Tax Allocation. All real property, personal property, ad valorem or other similar Taxes (“Property Taxes”)
levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for any taxable period that includes but does not end on the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date (such Property Taxes, collectively, “Apportioned Obligations”; any such taxable period, a “Straddle
Period”) shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the day immediately preceding the Closing
Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the Closing Date based on the relative numbers of days in such portions of the
Straddle Period. The proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is apportioned to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date shall be deemed to be a Retained Liability and shall be paid by Seller. The proportionate
amount of such Taxes that is apportioned to the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be
an Assumed Liability and shall be paid by Buyer. To the extent that Buyer pays any amount of Apportioned Obligations apportioned to the
portion of the applicable Straddle Period ending on the day before the Closing Date, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for such amount within
thirty (30) days after a written request for reimbursement delivered by Buyer to Seller. To the extent that Seller pays any amount of
Apportioned Obligations apportioned to the portion of the applicable Straddle Period beginning on the Closing Date, Buyer shall reimburse
Seller for such amount within thirty (30) days after a written request for reimbursement delivered by Seller to Buyer.
5.9
Allocation of Allocable Consideration. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with a schedule
(the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the amount of such other
items properly taken into account as consideration for all applicable income tax purposes, among the Purchased Assets and covenants described
in Section 5.2 in accordance with the residual method set forth in Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, using the methodology set forth on Exhibit A to determine the fair market values of such Purchased Assets as of the
Closing. Seller shall have the right to review and comment on the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, and Buyer shall consider in good
faith such changes to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule as are requested by Seller. If Seller and Buyer do not agree to an allocation
within sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent
accounting firm selected by the Buyer and Seller for resolution. Each of Buyer and Seller shall pay one-half of the fees of such independent
accounting firm.
5.10

shall give all notices to, and Seller shall use best efforts to obtain all consents from, all Persons for which notice or consent is
required under Section 2.3 and has not yet been obtained (the “Third-Party Consents”); and (b) Seller shall
use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Governmental Approvals, all Third-Party Consents, and all other consents,
authorizations, Orders, and approvals from other Governmental Authorities, and any other Person that may be or become necessary for the

Indemnification;
Survival
7.1
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement
or in any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and all claims in connection therewith, shall survive the
Closing. Seller will have no Liability with respect to any claim under Section 7.2(a) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim
prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day to occur twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however,
that (a) any claim under Section 2.1 (Organization and Power), Section 2.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section
2.3 (Non-Contravention; Consents), Section 2.4 (Capitalization), Section 2.5 (Purchased Assets), Section 2.11
(Tax Matters), and Section 2.15 (No Brokers) may be made at any time until the later of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that
is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the longest statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representation
or warranty (including extensions thereof) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not mean the statute of limitations applicable to
a claim for breach of contract) and seven (7) years after the Closing Date (collectively, the representations and warranties described
in this clause (a) are referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”), and (b) any claim related to intentional
breaches of the representations and warranties or Fraud may be made at any time without limitation. Buyer will have no Liability with
respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement unless Seller notifies Buyer of
such a claim prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day to occur twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided,
however, that any claim relating to any representation made in Section 4.1 (Organization and Power) or Section 4.2
(Authorization and Enforceability) may be made at any time until the later of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is sixty (60)
days after the expiration of the longest statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representation or warranty (including
extensions thereof) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not mean the statute of limitations applicable to a claim for breach of
contract) and seven (7) years after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the Parties in this Agreement will survive through
the end of the applicable period specified herein (but in no event will any covenant or agreement expire prior to being fully performed;
it being acknowledged that no expiration of any covenant shall limit any Person’s rights to bring a claim for breach of such covenant
prior to expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such claim). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, the applicable indemnifying Party (i.e., Buyer or Seller,
as applicable) shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved
or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is
finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.2
Indemnification by Seller . From and after the Closing, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates
and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives (the “Buyer Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all Adverse Consequences that any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer or incur (including any Adverse Consequences they
may suffer or incur after the end of any applicable survival period stated in Section 7.1, provided that an indemnification claim
with respect to such matter is made pursuant to this Article VII prior to the end of any applicable survival period) resulting
from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by:
(a)
any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made in Article II of this Agreement or any representation or warranty
made by Seller in any Ancillary Document, or
15
(b)
any breach, failure, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document.
Further,
Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any and all Adverse Consequences that
any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer or incur resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by any Excluded Asset or Retained Liability.
7.3
Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against
any and all Adverse Consequences that Seller may suffer or incur (including any Adverse Consequences they may suffer or incur after the
end of any applicable survival period stated in Section 7.1, provided that an indemnification claim with respect to such matter
is made pursuant to this Article VII prior to the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating
to, or caused by (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made in Article IV or any representation or warranty
made by Buyer in any Ancillary Document or (b) any breach, failure, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained
in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document.
7.4
Claim Procedure.
(a)
A Person entitled to or claiming a right to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly give
notice (the “Claim Notice”) to the Party obligated to (or claimed by the Indemnified Party to be obligated to) provide
indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) after (i) becoming aware of an Adverse Consequence for which
the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification, or (ii) receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any Proceeding against it by a Person other than an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) that the Indemnified
Party believes is reasonably likely to result in an Adverse Consequence for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
hereunder. The Claim Notice will describe the Adverse Consequence in reasonable detail based on information then known to the Indemnified
Party and the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable and to the extent quantifiable at the time, of the Adverse Consequence that
has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The failure to provide, or delay in providing, a Claim Notice will not relieve
the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates
that it is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give or delay in giving such Claim Notice in accordance with
this Section 7.4(a).
(b)
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice relating to a claim other than a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”),
the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a response in which the Indemnifying Party will either (i) agree that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Adverse Consequences at issue in the Claim Notice or (ii) dispute the Indemnified
Party’s entitlement to indemnification (as to all or any portion of the Adverse Consequences) by delivering to the Indemnified
Party a notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such
disputed item and stating that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either
of the foregoing actions within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay all Adverse Consequences
arising out of or relating to the Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with
the provisions of Section 8.11. In connection with any Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide such information
as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request in connection with the Indemnifying Party’s
investigation of the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim and evaluation of its alleged responsibility therefor
(excluding any such information that is subject to attorney-client privilege or that would result in the breach of any Law); provided,
the provision of such information does not unduly interfere with the normal business operations of the Indemnified Party.
16
7.5
Additional Procedures Regarding Third Party Claims.
(a)
Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to contest, assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against, and participate in any Proceeding
regarding, any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given a Claim Notice that, subject
to the limits set forth in this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the
Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer with respect to the Third Party Claim, (ii) the claimant making each Third Party
Claim seeks only monetary damages within the coverage limits set forth in this Article VII, and does not seek an injunction or
other equitable relief and the Third Party Claim does not involve criminal Liability, (iii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised
by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the
defense of the Third Party Claim (other than any conflict or potential conflict resulting solely from the Parties’ indemnification
obligations under this Agreement), (iv) the Third Party Claim is not reasonably likely to adversely materially impact the Indemnified
Party’s then existing customer, supplier or other business relationships, (v) the Third Party Claim is not asserted directly by
or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier, customer or other counterparty for the Purchased Assets or of the Indemnified Party, and
(vi) the Indemnifying Party conducts defense of the Third Party Claim diligently.
(b)
So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.5(a): (i) the
Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim,
it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to
the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
Order or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not
to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably if such Order or settlement results in monetary-only Liability of the Indemnified
Party and does not result in any admission or finding of Liability by or against the Indemnified and such amount is less than or equal
to the amount for which the Indemnified Party is being indemnified by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII).
(c)
In the event the Indemnifying Party does not conduct the defense in accordance with Section 7.5(a), the Indemnified Party may
defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided, (i) the Indemnifying Party may participate
in such defense at its own expense, (ii) the Indemnified Party may not consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement
with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned
unreasonably) and (iii) the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party will be included in the Adverse Consequences subject
to indemnification hereunder (subject to the limits set forth in this Article VII).
7.6
Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying Party will have any indemnification
obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be:
(a)
if the amount of such claim, or series of related claims, does not exceed $3,000.00 (the “De Minimus Amount”), it being understood
that a claim for Losses that does not exceed the De Minimus Amount will not count towards satisfaction of the Threshold Amount;
(b)
unless and until the Adverse Consequences against the applicable Indemnifying Party exceed $30,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Threshold
Amount”), at which time the applicable Indemnified Party will be entitled to seek recovery for only the amount of the Adverse Consequences
exceeding the Threshold Amount;
(c)
except with respect to claims arising from fraud or a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Adverse Consequences that may be recovered from Seller will be
limited to no greater than 20% of the Purchase Price; and
17
(d)
the aggregate of all Adverse Consequences with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation (other than with respect
to fraud) shall not exceed the Purchase Price.
7.7
Other Indemnification Matters.
(a)
All indemnification payments under this Article VII will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.
(b)
To the extent that there are Adverse Consequences that are finally determined to be owed by Seller to the Buyer under this Article VII,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.6, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole discretion, be entitled to cause
Seller to redeem the number of OPT Shares issued to Seller under this Agreement equal to the amount of the Adverse Consequence owed by
such Seller divided by the 30-day trailing VWAP of OPT Shares on the date the amount is finally determined.
(c)
For purposes of determining the amount of Adverse Consequences resulting therefrom, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation
or warranty relating to or referring to the terms “material”, “materiality,” “in all material respects,”
or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded, it being the understanding of the Parties that for purposes of determining liability
under this Article VII, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be read as if such
terms and phrases were not included therein.
(d)
The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek insurance recoveries (if available) in respect of all Adverse
Consequences and to otherwise mitigate Adverse Consequences to the extent required by law. Any payment for any claim made pursuant to
this Article VII shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other recoveries from third parties that are actually realized by the
Indemnified Party in respect of such claim (in each case calculated net of reasonable costs and expenses of such recoveries and including
any costs or expenses attributable to increases in insurance premiums). In the event any insurance proceeds, or other recoveries (other
than pertaining to Taxes) are actually realized (in each case calculated net of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such recoveries
and including any costs or expenses attributable to increases in insurance premiums) by an Indemnified Party subsequent to the receipt
by such Indemnified Party of an indemnification or other payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceedings
or recoveries relate, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds or other recoveries
up to the amount of such indemnification or other payment (in each case calculated net of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of such recoveries and including any costs or expenses attributable to increases in insurance premiums).
(e)
The right of any Buyer Indemnitee to indemnification, payment of any Adverse Consequences or other remedy based on the representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents will not be affected by any investigation
conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation. Seller hereby acknowledges that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Buyer,
and regardless of the results of any such investigation, Buyer has entered into this transaction in express reliance upon such representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations.
(f)
Except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or omission, any non-monetary, equitable relief to which any party hereto may be entitled
or claims under any other agreement entered into by a party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties acknowledge
and agree that, after the Closing, Article VII, provides each party’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement,
including claims for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation set forth herein.

to the extent expressly set forth in another Ancillary Document, any and all claims, controversies and causes of action arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort or statute, shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware,
including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws or other rule that would result in the application

the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral

or unenforceable to any extent such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, and only to the extent, of such unenforceability or
prohibition and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, such unenforceability or prohibition in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision as applied (i) to other Persons or circumstances or (ii) in any other jurisdiction,

19
8.6
Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented or modified orally, but

waived in writing by the Party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.
8.7
Effect of Waiver or Consent. No waiver, express or implied, by any Party of any breach or default by any Party hereunder shall
be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other obligations of such Party hereunder. No
single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any right or power, shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Failure on the part of a Party to complain
of any act of any Party or to declare any Party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver
by such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitation period has run.
8.8
Parties in Interest; Limitation on Rights of Others. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied,

Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any
jurisdiction (collectively, “Bulk Sales Laws”) that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or
all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, it being understood that any liabilities arising out of the failure of Seller to comply with the
requirements and provisions of any Bulk Sales Laws of any jurisdiction shall be treated as Retained Liabilities.
8.11
Jurisdiction; Court Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any Proceeding against any Party to this Agreement arising out of or in
any way relating to this Agreement shall be brought in any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware, and each of the
Parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such Proceeding; provided, that a final
judgment in any such Proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any
such Proceeding in any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware, any claim that any such Proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any claim that such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such Proceeding.
Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such Proceeding in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to a trial by jury and agrees that any of them may file a copy of this
paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the Parties irrevocably to waive
its right to trial by jury in any Proceeding.
8.12
Reliance on Counsel and Other Advisors. Each Party has consulted such legal counsel as it deems necessary or desirable before
entering into this Agreement. Each Party represents and warrants that it has read, knows, understands and agrees with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
8.13
Remedies. Except as expressly set forth herein, all remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to the
Parties hereunder, shall be cumulative and not alternative, and any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will
be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of this Agreement and to exercise all other
rights granted by Law, equity or otherwise.
20
8.14
Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in the singular or to “him,” “her,” “it,”
“itself,” or other like references, and references in the plural or the feminine or masculine reference, as the case may
be, shall also, when the context so requires, be deemed to include the plural or singular, or the masculine or feminine reference, as
the case may be; references to Articles and Sections shall refer to articles and sections of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified;
the headings in this Agreement are for convenience and identification only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit

the same instrument.
8.16
Further Assurances. If at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to fully effect the Transactions,
each of the Parties shall take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as
any other Party reasonably may request.
8.17

Section 8.17(a), and except in the event this Agreement is assigned in accordance with Section 8.9, (i) the obligations
and liabilities of Buyer or Seller with respect to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents may only be enforced against, and

(ii) no Affiliate or equity holder of Buyer (a “Buyer Related Party”) or Seller (a “Seller Related Party”)
shall have any Liability or obligation for any liabilities or obligations of any parties hereto for any Proceeding (whether in tort,
contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or in respect of any representations of any kind made
or alleged to be made in connection herewith, and (iii) no Party nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights of recovery in respect

Ocean Power Technologies Acquires Strategic Subsea Technology to Expand Operational Infrastructure Supporting Maritime Dominance
Transaction Extends Company’s Operational
Infrastructure Offering to the Subsea Market
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., July 23, 2026
– Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: OPTT), today announced
the acquisition of strategic subsea developmental technology assets from Columbia Power Technologies, Inc., expanding the potential of
the Company’s operational infrastructure portfolio to extend its capabilities from the ocean surface to the seabed.
The acquisition strengthens OPT’s position as a provider of persistent
operational infrastructure supporting autonomous maritime operations.
The acquired intellectual property and engineering portfolio complements
the Company’s existing capabilities in offshore power, autonomous surface vehicles, maritime sensing, communications and AI-enabled software
while adding an innovative subsea power capability designed to enable persistent underwater operations. Together, these technologies create
a potentially more comprehensive operational infrastructure platform capable of supporting missions across the maritime domain.
“The future of maritime operations will depend on resilient, persistent
operational infrastructure that supports autonomous systems above and below the surface,” said Philipp Stratmann, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Ocean Power Technologies. “This acquisition expands our technology portfolio with an innovative subsea capability
that complements our existing solutions and reinforces our strategy to deliver operational infrastructure across the maritime domain for
defense, security and commercial customers.”
The acquisition potentially expands OPT’s ability to address evolving
requirements for persistent underwater operations, including resident autonomous systems, subsea sensing, distributed communications,
underwater vehicle support and long-duration maritime missions. The acquired capability positions OPT to enhance its portfolio of operational
infrastructure technologies and provides a foundation for supporting future customer requirements in both defense and commercial maritime
markets.
The transaction has been structured as an asset acquisition, securing
ownership of strategic intellectual property and technical capabilities while preserving financial flexibility.
In addition to expanding OPT’s technology portfolio, the acquisition
includes developmental work and early customer engagement that can accelerate commercialization, reduce development risk and shorten the
Company’s path to market for future subsea solutions.
The transaction closed effective, July 22, 2026.

Ocean
Power Technologies Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2026 Results
Fiscal
2026 Marks Company’s Transformation into an Operational Defense Technology Provider Through Historic Coast Guard Deployment, Record
Backlog and Global Defense Expansion
Largest
deployment and recurring revenue contract in Company history positions OPT for long-term growth
MONROE
TOWNSHIP, N.J., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or “the Company”)
(NYSE American: OPTT), today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter (“4Q26”) and full-year ended April
30, 2026 (“FY26”).
Fiscal
2026 Strategic Highlights
Fiscal
2026 represented a transformational year for Ocean Power Technologies as the Company continued its evolution into an operational provider
of AI-enabled maritime infrastructure supporting defense, security and commercial customers worldwide.
During
the year, the Company:
● Secured
the largest deployment and largest recurring revenue contract in Company history, an approximately
$6.5 million multi-PowerBuoy® maritime domain awareness program supporting the U.S. Coast
Guard.
● Transitioned
from technology demonstrations to operational deployment, integrating OPT’s PowerBuoy®,
Merrows® AI platform and autonomous technologies into an active maritime security mission
alongside premier defense partners, including Anduril.
● Built
a record backlog of $19.8 million, an increase of 58% over the prior year, providing significantly
improved visibility into future revenue.
● Expanded
internationally, growing customer deployments and strategic relationships throughout Europe
while increasing engagement with allied governments and defense organizations.
● Reorganized
the Company’s sales, technology and innovation, and operations functions to create
a unified dual-use solutions organization with a primary focus on defense and security markets,
while maintaining the ability to commercialize innovations across adjacent maritime applications.
● Invested
in the people, operational capabilities and infrastructure necessary to execute larger programs,
support recurring revenue contracts and scale the business for future growth.
Management
Commentary – Dr. Philipp Stratmann, OPT’s President and Chief Executive Officer
“Fiscal
2026 fundamentally changed Ocean Power Technologies,”
said Philipp Stratmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We secured the largest
deployment and recurring revenue contract in our history, built a record backlog, expanded internationally, and demonstrated that our
technologies can support operational missions alongside premier defense partners. These achievements mark our evolution from a technology
developer into an operational provider of AI-enabled maritime infrastructure. During the year, we also invested in the people and capabilities
needed to support larger deployments and recurring revenue programs. Our landmark Coast Guard deployment required significant upfront
deployment and integration activities, while recurring services revenue from that contract will be recognized over time. We believe Fiscal
2026 established the operational foundation for long-term growth, and Fiscal 2027 is about executing against that platform.”

and commercial markets.
● Revenue
for Fiscal 2026 was $4.1 million.

to establish long-term customer relationships and larger future opportunities.
● Operating
expenses included continued investment in personnel, technology development and operational
infrastructure, as well as approximately $9.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation.
● Combined
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $8.7 million at April
30, 2026.
Looking
Ahead
Management
enters Fiscal 2027 focused on executing against the operational platform established during Fiscal 2026. Key priorities include:
● Successfully
executing the U.S. Coast Guard deployment, including ongoing operational and recurring service
delivery.
● Converting
record backlog into revenue.
● Expanding
recurring services revenue.
● Converting
the Company’s growing defense pipeline into additional contract awards.

Non-GAAP
Measures: Pipeline
Pipeline
is not a term recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is a common measurement used in our
industry. Our methodology for determining pipeline may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies. Pipeline is a
representation of the journey potential customers take from the moment they become aware of our products and service to the moment they
become a paying customer. The sales pipeline is divided into a series of phases, each representing a different milestone in the customer
journey. It is a tool we use to track sales progress, identify potential roadblocks, and make data-driven decisions to improve our sales
performance. Revenue estimates derived from our pipeline can be subject to change due to project accelerations, cancellations or delays
due to various factors. These factors can also cause revenue amounts to be realized in periods and at levels different than originally
projected.
