“(a) Time and Location. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxx LLP in Boston, Massachusetts, commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, or, if agreed by the Parties, remotely, via electronic exchange of documents, on the date which is the second (2nd) Business Day following the day on which the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby have first been satisfied or waived (excluding the delivery of any documents to be delivered at the Closing by either of the Parties and other than the satisfaction of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree upon in writing; provided that, in no event shall the Closing occur prior to August 31, 2020 without Buyer’s written consent (it being understood in each case, that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the delivery of such documents and the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) (the day on

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.
