Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller at closing shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and shall delivers to Buyer, and Buyer at closing shall purchase, acquire, and accept from Seller, the Equipment, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any third party.

Seller shall deliver the Equipment along with one or more Bills of Sale as described in Section 9 necessary to transfer ownership to Buyer on the Closing Date.

Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by Seller to Buyer before the end of business May 25th, 2021. This sum shall be applied to the total purchase price at closing. Upon Seller’ lender giving written approval of the proposed asset sale, then Buyer shall deposit an additional THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($300,000.00) (the Additional Deposit”). The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller in immediately available funds on the Closing Date. If Buyer is unable to close for any reason, it shall forfeit the deposit as liquidated damages to Seller as reimbursement for Seller taking the Equipment off the market and ceasing communications with other potential buyers from the date of execution to the date of closing.
