(a) In consideration for the contribution, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall pay Seller one hundred fifty-five million dollars ($155,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a closing statement setting forth (A) Seller’s reasonable estimate of the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount (the “Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount”), and (B) a calculation of the Note Purchase Price, and shall include therein wire transfer instructions for Seller’s account. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price as follows:

(i) thirty million dollars ($30,000,000), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller (the “Closing Date Payment”); and

(ii) one hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000), minus (A) the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount that is held in bank accounts controlled by Seller or its Affiliates as of the Closing (less any portion of the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount that is held in bank accounts of Mavrix, Canton Renewables and XXXX Xxxxxx as of the Closing), plus (B) if Seller is entitled to reimbursement for the Canton Debt Payoff Amount pursuant to Section 1.2(b), the Canton Debt Payoff Amount (the “Note Purchase Price”), by delivery of an unsecured zero interest promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of the Note Purchase Price and providing for a maturity date of April 3, 2017 (the “Purchase Price Note”).

After the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.2(c).

(b) If Seller or Canton Renewables repays the amounts outstanding under the Canton Loan Agreement in accordance with Section 4.27, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of the Canton Debt Payoff Amount from Purchaser.

(c) The Parties hereby covenant and agree as provided in this Section 1.2(c) with respect to the adjustment of the Purchase Price following the Closing:

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a calculation of the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount (the “Post-Closing Statement”). If the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, as calculated by Seller, exceeds the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, Seller shall contemporaneously pay the amount of such excess to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, and if the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, as calculated by Seller, is less than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement) pay the amount of such shortfall to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, unless any such amount is disputed by Purchaser in accordance with an Objection Notice as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(iii) below.

(ii) Following the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser and its designees reasonable access upon reasonable advance written notice during normal business hours to all materials of Seller pertinent to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and calculations of the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount as set forth on Schedule 1.2(c)(ii).

(iii) The Post-Closing Statement and the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount submitted by Seller to Purchaser shall become final and binding upon the Parties

- 5 -

forty-five (45) days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof (the “Review Period”), unless Purchaser, within the Review Period, has delivered to Seller written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of its objections with reasonable detail and specificity to the Post-Closing Statement, the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, in which case the Post-Closing Statement, the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount shall not be binding upon the Parties and such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(iv).

(iv) After the receipt of the Objection Notice by Seller, the designees of Purchaser and Seller shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss and attempt to reconcile their differences with respect to the disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Disputed Items”). If the Parties are unable to mutually resolve each of the Disputed Items within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Objection Notice by Seller, then Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve such Disputed Items and promptly submit such dispute for resolution to the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm to make a determination within thirty (30) days after its engagement or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be limited to resolving the disagreement set forth in the Objection Notice. The determination of the Accounting Firm and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between and paid by Purchaser and/or Seller, respectively, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(v) On the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final determination of the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount in accordance with this Section 1.2(c):

(1) if the final Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Seller, an amount equal to such difference (A) plus any amount previously paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i), (B) minus any amount previously paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i); and

(2) if the final Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Purchaser, an amount equal to such difference (A) plus any amount previously paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i), (B) minus any amount previously paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i).

Section 1.3 Earn Out.

(a) In addition to the Purchase Price, Seller shall have the opportunity to earn, and Purchaser shall pay, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.3, additional cash proceeds, which will be an upward adjustment to the Purchase Price, in an aggregate amount not to exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), calculated and determined in the manner set forth in this Section 1.3.

(b) Purchaser shall pay Seller an annual earn-out payment (the “Annual Earn-Out Payment”) (if any) for each of the first five (5) calendar years from January 1, 2017 (each an “Earn Out Year”), with the calendar year ending December 31, 2017, referred to as “Year One,” the calendar year ending December 31, 2018, referred to as “Year Two,” the calendar year ending December 31, 2019, referred to as “Year Three,” the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, referred to as “Year Four” and the calendar year ending December 31, 2021, referred to as “Year Five,” to be calculated as set forth on Schedule 1.3(b).

- 6 -

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the end of an applicable Earn-Out Year, Purchaser shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared a statement setting forth: (A) following Year One, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year One; (B) following Year Two, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Two; (C) following Year Three, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Three; (D) following Year Four, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Four and (E) following Year Five, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Five (with respect to each Earn-Out Year, an “Earn-Out Calculation”) and (ii) deliver the applicable Earn-Out Calculation to Seller, together with (A) reasonable supporting documents and (B) payment to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, of the Annual Earn-Out Payment, if any, calculated by Purchaser to be payable based on such Earn-Out Calculation. Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Year to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s election to accept or reject such Earn-Out Calculation as prepared by Purchaser. In the event Seller rejects in writing such Earn-Out Calculation as prepared by Purchaser, such rejection notice (the “Rejection Notice”) shall contain the reasons for such rejection in reasonable detail and set forth the amount of the requested adjustment. In the event no Rejection Notice is received by Purchaser during such thirty (30)-day period, the Annual Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year (as set forth in Purchaser’s Earn-Out Calculation) shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. In the event that Seller shall timely reject an Earn-Out Calculation, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Purchaser received the applicable Rejection Notice from Seller rejecting such Earn-Out Calculation) attempt in good faith to make a joint determination of the Annual Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Earn-Out Year, and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. In the event Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree upon the Annual Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Earn-Out Year within such thirty (30)-day period, then Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute and promptly submit such dispute for resolution to the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm to make a determination within thirty (30) days after its engagement or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be limited to resolving the disagreement set forth in the Rejection Notice. The determination of the Accounting Firm and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between and paid by Purchaser and/or Seller, respectively, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(d) If the Annual Earn-Out Payment due on account of any Earn-Out Year, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c), is greater than the amount (if any) initially paid by Purchaser on account of such Earn-Out Year, then the additional Annual Earn-Out Payment due shall be payable within five (5) days of such final determination pursuant to Section 1.3(c), and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller such additional amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller to Purchaser.

(e) For the purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 1.3, Purchaser shall cooperate with and make available to Seller all pertinent books, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel upon reasonable advance written notice and during normal business hours, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Earn-Out Calculation for any Earn-Out Year and the resolution of any disputes thereunder as set forth on Schedule 1.3(e). In addition, Purchaser shall also provide such access upon request by Seller and cooperate with Seller in connection with making interim calculations of amounts due pursuant to this Section 1.3. If Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Section 1.3(e), the dispute period set forth in Section 1.3 shall be automatically extended until such breach is cured by Purchaser.

(c) Any and all Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets or to the Business, other than Transfer Taxes, Property Taxes and Taxes due with respect to Interim Taxable Income, will be borne by Seller with respect to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period and by Purchaser with respect to the Post-Valuation Date Tax Period, and each Party will indemnify, defend and hold the other Party harmless from and against all Taxes for which such Party is liable pursuant to this Section 4.7(c). For purposes of this Section 4.7(c): (x) the amount of any Taxes that are based on or measured by income, receipts or expenditures and that are allocable to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Valuation Date; and (y) the amount of all other Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such taxable period ending on the Valuation Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to net taxable income recognized by Seller (or the direct or indirect owners of Seller) as a result of its ownership of the Purchased Assets on the Valuation Date through and including the Closing Date (“Interim Taxable Income”), (i) Seller (or its direct and indirect owners) shall retain responsibility for the payment of any U.S. federal and state income Taxes due with respect to such Interim Taxable Income but (ii) the aggregate amount of any indemnification claims of Purchaser (and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns) payable pursuant to ARTICLE VII shall be reduced and offset by an amount equal to the (A) the highest U.S. federal and California state marginal income tax rate applicable to a corporation multiplied by (B) the amount of such Interim Taxable Income.

In the event that any Taxing Authority informs Seller or Purchaser of any notice of a proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes related to the Business or the Purchased Assets with respect to which the other Party may be liable hereunder, the Party so informed will promptly notify the other Party of such matter; provided that failure to promptly notify will not reduce the other Party’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent such Party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually prejudiced thereby; and provided, further, that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute will be governed by Section 7.4.

Section 4.8 Employment of Business Employees.

Seller and its Affiliates shall take all necessary actions to effect such cessation of Transferred Employees’ participation under the Employee Plans. Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the Transferred Employees for any accrued benefits under the Employee Plans. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 4.9(b), Transferred Employees may continue after the Closing Date to participate in those Employee Plans specified in Schedule 4.9(b) that provide health, sickness, short term and long term disability, severance, worker’s compensation, life insurance or similar benefits with respect to claims incurred by the Transferred Employees and their eligible spouses, dependents or qualified beneficiaries, as applicable, on or prior to the Closing Date.

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities;

(iv) any Taxes for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 4.7; or

Section 7.3 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall have no liability for Losses solely for breaches of representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE II unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for all claims asserted by the Indemnified Party exceeds the Basket, in which event Seller shall only pay and be liable for Losses in excess of the Basket. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to claims based upon breaches of Fundamental Representations and actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Seller or any of its Affiliates, with respect to which, in each case, Losses in connection therewith shall be recoverable from the first dollar and shall not be counted in determining whether the threshold set forth in the preceding sentence has been exceeded. For the sole purpose of determining any Losses with respect

- 38 -

to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by Seller for purposes of indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants have occurred), any qualification or limitation of a representation, warranty or covenant by reference to materiality of matters stated therein or as to matters having or not having a “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality” or words of similar effect shall be disregarded.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to subsection Section 7.2(a)(i) will not exceed $15,500,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Cap will not apply with respect to (i) any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) based on any breach of a Fundamental Representation, for which Seller’s Liability for indemnification, together with any Liability for indemnification otherwise pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) in the aggregate will not exceed the Purchase Price, or (ii) actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover under Section 7.2 after the applicable Expiration Date set forth in Section 7.1 unless a Claim Notice was delivered prior to such time.

(d) Any Losses hereunder will be determined without duplication of recovery that would result from the set of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach or other violation of more than one representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.

(e) There will be no obligation to indemnify under Section 7.2 to the extent the Loss relates to any breach of representation, warranty or covenant expressly waived in writing by the Indemnified Party.

(f) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, AND THE RECOVERY BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF ANY LOSSES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF ACTUAL FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT, BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM SUCH BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY THE PARTIES AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUT NOT DAMAGES INDIRECTLY ARISING FROM SUCH BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT, AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT, SPECULATIVE, REMOTE, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY. For purposes of the foregoing, Losses may include indirect, speculative, remote, exemplary or punitive damages to the extent (i) the injuries or losses resulting in or giving rise to such damages are incurred or suffered by a third party who is not an Affiliate of a Party, and (ii) such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party by a Person that is a third party who is not an Affiliate of a Party. This Section 7.3(f) shall operate only to limit a Party’s liability and shall not operate to increase or expand any contractual obligation of a Party.

(g) No Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII with respect to any Third Party Claim unless and until the final amount of recoverable Losses (if any) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment or award, or settlement entered into in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, in each case that is binding on such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

- 39 -

Section 7.4 Notice of Claims.

(a) If (i) any third party or Governmental Authority institutes, threatens or asserts any Proceeding that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) has a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) specifying (to the extent known) in reasonable detail the nature of such claim and the amount of all related Losses (the “Claim Amount”); provided, however, that any failure to give such Claim Notice or to provide any such facts or amounts will not affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

(b) In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to retain its own counsel, as is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party will have any obligation to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information if making such information available would (i) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Indemnified Party is a party) (it being understood that Indemnified Party will cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Indemnifying Party to occur without contravening such Law, duty or agreement).

(c) No Third Party Claim that is being defended by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or withheld) unless (i) the terms of the proposed settlement include as an unconditional and with-prejudice term thereof the granting by the third party to any relevant Indemnified Party a release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; (ii) there is (A) no finding or admission of any violation of Law by any Indemnified Party and (B) no finding or admission of any violation of the rights of any Person by any Indemnified Party; and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. No Third Party Claim that is being defended by the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or withheld) unless the Indemnified Party agrees to bear the Liability for such settlement.

- 40 -

(d) In the event of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from receipt of a Claim Notice to deliver a written statement objecting to the Direct Claim made in such Claim Notice explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis for such objection. If the Indemnifying Party has not delivered to the Indemnified Party such written statement within such thirty (30)-day period, then (i) the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable hereunder, and (ii) as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party will cause the Claim Amount to be paid to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. If not paid, the Indemnified Party may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) If an Indemnifying Party objects in writing to any Direct Claim made in any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Direct Claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by both Parties. As promptly as practicable, and within five (5) Business Days following execution of such memorandum, the Indemnifying Party will cause the Claim Amount specified in the executed memorandum to be paid to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days following execution of such memorandum. If not paid, the Indemnified Party may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.5 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy; Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct and except as provided in Section 1.2(c)(iv) and Section 1.3(c), the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VII will be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims after the Closing Date arising under or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party will be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof) in any competent court having jurisdiction over the Parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at Law or in equity.

Section 7.6 No Set-Off. Purchaser will not have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VII against, and there will not otherwise be any right to set off or counterclaim in the event of the non-performance of any obligation to make, (a) any payment due pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any payment due under any other Transaction Agreement or (c) any payment due under the Supply Agreement or any other agreement with Seller or one of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have a right of set-off as provided in Section 1.3(g).

Section 7.7 Effect of Insurance; Mitigation.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VII will be reduced by any amounts that are recovered by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that may be received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Losses (each such source, a “Collateral Source”), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs of pursuing such recovery, any premium

- 41 -

adjustments and any self-insured retentions. The Indemnified Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, diligently pursue all available remedies and causes of action to recover the amount of its claim as may be available from any Collateral Source.

(b) In the event that an Indemnified Party willfully fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses associated with an indemnifiable claim, the Indemnifying Party will have no liability for any portion of such Losses that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party not willfully failed to so use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate.

Section 7.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in ARTICLE V.

Section 7.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax and for state tax purposes.

Section 7.10 No Contribution by the Acquired Entities. None of Mavrix, Canton Renewables or XXXX Xxxxxx will have any liability to any Indemnifying Party as a result of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement or other writing delivered by or on behalf of, or in respect of, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or XXXX Xxxxxx pursuant to this Agreement, or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated this Agreement or (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing by or on behalf of, or in respect of, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or XXXX Xxxxxx pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.13 Counsel.

Seller acknowledges that any advice given to or communication with Seller by Counsel to the extent it was (i) given or communicated prior to May 1, 2016, or (ii) for the general business purposes of Mavrix, Canton Renewables or XXXX Xxxxxx (whether given or communicated before, on or after May 1, 2016) is not subject to any joint privilege and is and will be owned solely by Mavrix, Canton Renewables or XXXX Xxxxxx, as applicable. The attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence arising from Counsel’s representation of the Business prior to the Closing to the extent primarily related to the Transaction Advice, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection, will belong to and be controlled by Seller or Counsel and may be waived only by Seller or Counsel, and not Purchaser or the Business, and will not pass to or be claimed or used by Purchaser or the Business; provided that Purchaser, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Xxxxxx xxx assert the privilege in any Proceeding against a third party. Purchaser acknowledges that Counsel have acted as counsel for Seller and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters or disputes between the parties hereto, Seller anticipates that Counsel will represent it in such matters or disputes. Purchaser consents to Counsel’s representation of Seller in any post-Closing matter or dispute in which the interests of Purchaser or the Business, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, are adverse, whether or not such matter or dispute is substantially related to one in which Counsel may have previously advised the Business. Purchaser consents to the disclosure by Counsel to Seller of any information learned or documents or communications prepared by Counsel in the course of their representation of the Business prior to Closing to the extent related to the Transaction Advice (“Work Product”), whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege or Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the Business and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.
